Izuku noticed that she was crying so he knelt on the ground and apologized, "I am sorry...Normal people can't handle seeing such a disgusting scene. I have gone overboard. I apologize, so please stop crying."

Momo wiped her tears with her hands and replied, "No...I am thankful that you saved me...While their deaths were scary, I planned on being a hero, so deaths shouldn't be the problem here, however, I am seriously thinking about changing my carrier."

Izuku frowned and replied, "What do you mean by that?"

Momo put her hands under her bosom and said, "I am... Weak... There is no way I can protect someone as a hero when I can't even protect myself. Today's incident proved it. I couldn't even defeat quirkless people, much less a villain. It takes time for my quirk to work and before I can even create something to protect myself with, I already lost."

Izuku knew she was disappointed in herself, but it was truly her fault, "Look, people kidnapped you only because your family is rich. The reason why you weren't able to defeat them is that you didn't expect the kidnappers in the first place. It isn't that you are useless, or weak, you just don't use your brain properly."

Momo widened her eyes in disbelief. She knew that Izuku was kind enough to compliment her even though she knew the truth about herself, but what he said left her speechless. Soul left her body as she seemingly lost her last pillar of support, "Don't use my...brain...properly..." she mumbled and thought about the meaning behind those words.

"Now... I didn't want to sound rude, but if I were in the same position as you were, I would have already created tons of countermeasures against incidents like these. Moreover, your quirk isn't for front lines, but it's pretty much the support class. Meaning you wouldn't have to engage the battle if your assistance is not needed. If you want to improve, tell me every single detail about your quirk and I will try to create a training plan for you."

Izuku knew what her quirk was about since he read about it in her stats, but he wanted to hear her exact words from her experience. Because that information may differ.

Hearing him, Momo regained a bit of hope in herself.

'So that's what he meant by not using my brain properly...'

She tried to calm herself down and replied, "Alright, I will tell you everything. I can create any non-living material from my skin but I need to expose my skin for it to work."

Momo rolled-down the sleeve on her right hand and pulled out a metal pipe out of her wrist.

Izuku observed her the whole time and concluded, "You are taking too long."

"Huh?"

"It took you 10 seconds to create something so simple. A pipe which most likely, doesn't affect villains all that much."

Momo clenched her fists and mumbled, "I... Know... That's why I am saying my quirk isn't strong..."

"It's not weak either. It's pretty much one of the strongest quirks I've seen and you are not stupid. You are a genius. To use this quirk, you must have worked really hard." Izuku replied.

"Really...?"

Momo didn't know whether to be happy or sad. While he criticized her for using her quirk improperly, he also complimented her by saying that her quirk wasn't weak and that she was smart. Her mind was full of mixed emotions but she really liked when he complimented her.

Looking over at her, Izuku saw that she finally calmed down completely so he continued, "From what I know, you need to know the molecular structure of the said material to even attempt to create it. Your body fat gets burned every time you create something and if you overdo it and create something really big, just like in your match against The Best Jeanist, you might even end up being anemic and weak. In the worst scenarios, your organs will fail and you will eventually die. That's about what I know."

"Wow...Amazing..." Momo was surprised and a little frightened. Izuku knew practically everything about her quirk and that was pretty scary. If she didn't know Izuku, she might have thought that he was stalking her.

10 years ago.

When she was little, she always felt like someone was watching her. Her parents put her under protection for a long time and she thought it was weird. It wasn't only until she overheard her parents talking about it, that she found out.

"What do they want from us!? Greedy pigs!" Momo's father threw a desk aside and stood up in anger, "Wasn't 5 billion enough?! They are practically blackmailing us!"

Earlier that day, he personally picked up his daughter from the all-girls kindergarten she attended and he noticed that someone was tailing them. Naturally, he ordered his men to capture the man. Once they caught him, he was interrogated and he found out that the government sent him. He called them and they started demanding money or else they wouldn't leave his daughter alone.

Although 5 billion wasn't that much to him, he still paid it with a heavy heart. He hoped that they would leave him and his family alone but later, the president of Japan personally called him and demanded that they should give him their daughter. Her father was really angry but still tried to peacefully resolve the situation because it was the President after all.

They talked for a bit and the President said, that with her "talent" Japan would prosper more. Hearing such bullshit, Momo's father immediately threw the phone on the ground and erupted in rage.

His wife looked at him anxiously. "They won't take our Momoko right? They don't have rights for that...Right?" She grabbed onto her husband's hand and desperately awaited a good answer from him.

"Of course not! What rights would they have?! It's our child! Just because her quirk is marvelous doesn't mean that the government can take her! She isn't a property!"

Unbeknownst to them, Momo was behind the half-open doors, listening in on them. While she didn't understand what they were talking about, she knew it had to do something with her.

"Fucking degenerates!" He turned to his wife and said, "Pack our things! Only necessities! We are moving to Korea!" Following which he pulled out an old transmitter he received from the president of Korea and dialed a number. The call connected and Momo's father was busy discussing things with the president of Korea because he owed him a favor from when they were young.

His wife watched him in worry but did what she was told. She packed things up and awaited his next orders.

Once her husband finished the call, he looked at her and smiled, "Grab Momoko, we are leaving!"

Hearing that, Momo quickly ran towards her room and acted as if she was playing to avoid suspicion.

Her Mom entered her room and looked at her beautiful child, "Momoko. We are going on a long vacation. I know it's sudden, but you will be changing schools!" She knew it was sudden, but her husband said to hurry so she tried to be as fast as possible with the explanation.

Momo, who overheard the entire situation just nodded and stood up. She knew something really bad has happened.

Her mom was glad that she didn't throw any fits. She quickly grabbed her daughter's hand and moved to the living room.

"Ah, Momoko! Make sure you wear warm clothes, it's snowing outside after all." Momo's father brought the two of them into their limousine and thought, 'It will be much colder in Korea as well. I just hope Momoko won't be feeling too lonely. Also, we need a new manager for the business here, in Japan. While we have to leave our business here and just run away, they won't be able to devour us since our family is as strong as entire Japan if we are talking about money.'

Once they entered the limousine, his phone rang. Seeing the number on the screen, he frowned and picked it up, "What do you want now?!"

A deep voice answered from the other side, "Listen...I am sure you understand. Her quirk is priceless to us! We will return her to you in 8 years, I promise, we will also let you contact her every day if that's what you want. How about it? Don't you just wish to own the world? With her quirk, we can rule over the world! Unlimited Money! Unlimited Power!"

Hearing him, his stomach hurt. President's words were too disgusting.

'Government is too corrupted...I am not sure if we can return here in the future.'

He cleared his throat and replied, "No. Never. We are leaving for Korea. You have 10 years to think about the state of your country and your dirty deals, Okane. We will return in 10 years and I will be expecting a complete change in this country. If you cannot do that, we will go against you."

"Yamato wai-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Yamato shut off his phone and relaxed.

'God damn it! This is the exact reason I didn't want the world to know about our daughter. I already had one weak point being my wife and now I have another one. I need to find a way to protect them both when we return in the future.'

Back to the present. Izuku put a cold towel on Momo's cheek. Momo frowned because the slap from her kidnapper still hurt her but she didn't stop Izuku.

She dazed off and thought about her past. The day they had to leave Japan, was probably the day she started doubting herself, and her ability.

She knew she was a child at the time and she wasn't able to do anything to prevent it but if she was more careful with her quirk, maybe it wouldn't reach the ears of the government.

Thinking about this incident, she still suspects that these people were here to kidnap her not because of who she was, but because of her priceless quirk. She didn't even want to imagine what would happen if her quirk got into the hands of someone with evil intentions.

'My quirk is supposedly so strong and amazing and yet I can't use it properly. Maybe with the right guidance from Midoriya-dono and if I asked Aizawa-sensei, I would improve.'

She didn't want to quit being a hero yet. She always wanted to be one and from what she saw, heroes don't quit after one or two setbacks, they climb up the stairs to glory by their own efforts, so if she really wished to be a hero in the future, she would have to overcome her limits.
