Chapter 72

" Deku. " Bakugou said, staring at Midoriya.

" What the hell happened to you? "

" Life happened. " Midpriya said as he stared at Bakugou with his blank eyes.

" Then why the hell are you sitting here in this alley?! Get up. " Bakugou said.

" Why? " Midoriya asked.

" So we can go back to UA, dumbass!! "

" Why? "

" What do you mean why?!! It's so you can recover and then deal with all the shit that's been happening!! "

" Why? "

" Stop saying why and get the fuck up!! It's getting annoying. "

" What's the point? "

" Huh? "

" What's the point, Katsuki? " Midoriya asked. Bakugou stopped as he stared at Izuku. Izuku never uses his first name.

" What's the point in going back? What are we supposed to do? "

" What the hell are you going on about? "

" What's the point in being a hero? " Midoriya said. Bakugou froze in his tracks, his eyes widening as he stared at Midoriya.

" You've seen it right? What they have done? Heroes are supposed to be protectors, help people in need, yet things like this happen. What they have shown in the news, what some heroes have done, using their fame for selfish reasons that bring harm to others. The government taking advantage of the praise heroes get to do what they have done.

What's the point in going back? What's the point in trying to be a hero, when things like this happen? "

" The hell are talking about!! " Bakugiu yelled as he grabbed Izuku's shirt and pulled him close to his face.

" Where the hell is Izuku?! The one that wanted to be a hero more than anything!! The Izuku I know wouldn't quit because of something like this!! " Katsuki yelled.

" Oh him, you're looking at him. " Midoriya said.

" Hell no! You're not Izuku! The Izuku I know is someone who I had to bully just to satisfy my inferiority complex towards him because even though he was a weakling with no quirk, he was always stronger than me!! Where the hell is he?!! " Katsuki yelled.

Izuku said nothing as he stared at Katsuki with a blank look on his face, not saying a word.

" He's got to be in there right?! Dammit Izuku. I'm sorry. For the times a bullied you, I'm sorry. But please just tell me, you're still here? " Katsuki asked as he stared at Izuku.

Izuku looked at Katsuki, not moving a muscle. Tears welled up in Katsuki's eyes as he stared at Izuku, the realization kicking in. Izuku Midoriya is now a broken, man.

He picked up Izuku and placed him on his back. Katsuki then walked out of the alleyway to his classmates who grew solemn over Midoriyas change.

He was always this guy that talked about heroes with a passion, a large drive to become a hero himself, which seemed unbreakable to everyone, seeing him question why even be a hero anymore, made them feel hopeless inside.

The riot had already finished long beforehand. The citizens had gone back to the safe zones but their frustration and bitterness towards heroes didn't quell down in the slightest.

Walking to the front entrance to UA, the citizens staying there noticed that and immediately went towards them with complaints.

" No more heroes!! "

" You're not allowed inside!! "

" Don't let them in!! "

More bullshit was being thrown around by them towards class 1-A, all due to their comprehension of the situation.

" Momo. Megaphone. " Kirishima whispered with head lowered, shadows covering his eyes as Bakugou gave Midoriya over to Shoji.

" Shut the fuck up!!! " They yelled in the megaphone at max volume.

The citizens flinched from the loud noise as they looked towards Kirishima and Bakgou staring at them, breathing heavily from that yell.

" Hey... "

" Be quiet. " Kirishima commanded as he stared at the person about to yell.

" Now you listen here... "

" No!! How about you listen to me!! " Bakugou yelled through the megaphone, sitting everyone up.

" What the fuck gave you the rights to yell this bullshit at us?!! Huh?! Take a good look long look at us!! Do you think we knew about what the government was doing at all?!! "

" We didn't know anything until the same you did. We're just students!! " Kirishima yelled. " We just took an entrance exam to get into UA a year ago and we already have to deal with so much shit and now this stuff is revealed to us!!

We wanted to become heroes because we admired them and wanted to achieve our own goals!! We didn't expect things to turn out this way or learn about any of this, yet all of you just complain towards us about something that we didn't even know about!! "

" Buts let not focus on what we " did ". Let's focus on what you people didn't do!! Every single one of you had probably experienced something that was revealed in the news yet probably did nothing, like usual.

You are just an audience!! You just watch what happens from a safe distance before erecting to whatever happening!! You don't do shit!! You just stay back and watch!! " Bakugou yelled.

" And what the hell were we supposed to do?!! How the hell could we have changed anything?! "

" Yeah, he's right?!! How would that happen?!! "

" I don't fucking now!! Do I look like the guy who has answers!! I'm just trying to find an answer myself, how am I supposed to give you advice on this! " Bakugou yelled back.

" He's a better question. " Shindo interrupted as he stared at the citizens with a megaphone in his hand.

" Why are you asking us? You have brains, don't you? Most have experienced what's wrong with society at this point, haven't you? You all could have thought about the problems and tried coming up with a way to solve it, but you didn't and now you're complaining to us." Shindo said bluntly.

" With that said, why the hell are you still here? All of you hate heroes now right? None of you want anything to do with them, yet you're here at UA, a hero school telling us to not come back to our turf, our HOME. " Shindo said.

" We're already tired from the shit happening and you're blocking the entrance to our house. "

" Move. "

Shinso lowered the megaphone as the citizens moved out of the way from class 1-A, who solemnly walked into the school, passing by everyone to get Midoriya to recovery girl.

...

" Well, then it's time to leave. " Axel said as he got from his chair.

" Yeah. " Shigaraki said.

Stain and Eight bullets got up as well, but the LOV was surprised when Kurogiri went over to Axel's side.

" Kurogiri. " Shigarkai said in surprise.

" Oh yeah, I forgot to mention but I had Kurogiri as part of my side from the start. " Axel said with a smile.

" Wait? How? You let Kurogiri escape only and nothing on the phone showed any signs of conversation. " Toga said with excitement in her eyes.

" Oh that. I can explain that better. " Kurogiri said.

" Yes. That would be great. " Shigaraki said.

" Woah, relax Shiggy. " Kurogiri as he held his arms up.

" Eh? "

" What? "

" The fuck? "

" Kurogiri doesn't act like that. Where did you learn that from? " Dabi asked.

" You know how Nomu's are created right? " Kurogirir asks.

" No," Toga said.

" Not really. " Shigaraki said.

" Didn't pay attention. " Dabi said.

" Oh, that's simple. Nomu's are made from corpses. My previous life before becoming Kurogiri was as Oboro, a UA student in the same year as Aizawa. I died and the doctor used my corpse to turn me into Kurogiri. " Kurogiri said.

" That still doesn't explain how you decided to join Axel. " Shigaraki pointed out.

" Oh that. I still had my memories as Oboro but were suppressed in my mind. With Axel's help, I got them back. " Kurogiri said.

" I see. " Shigaraki said with narrowed eyes. " Well played. "

" Thanks, but in truth I wanted him to be a spy for me to tell me your plans to defeat me and your weaknesses but you unknowingly countered that my allowing to come here. So, silver lining." Axel said.

" I see. " Shigaraki said.

" Well then. Bye. " Axel said as he turned around to leave.

" Well, aren't you quite rude? " All for one said as he entered the room with a smile on his face.

" Hmm... " Axel said as he looked at him.

" I won't take much of your time. I'm just here to say thanks. After all, because of your actions, you helped me greatly in breaking someone. Thank you for that. Have a nice day. " All for one said still grinning before leaving the room.

Axel didn't wait much longer as Kurogiri used his mist to teleport them to UA.

" Well, that was unexpected. I'm going to my room now. " Toga said happily as she left.

" How long will it take her to realize? " Dabi asked.

" Eh? Give it a minute. " Shigaraki said.

" Ahhhhh... My blood collection is gone!! " Toga yelled.

" There it is. " Shigaraki said.

" In a minute too. " Dabi said.

Axel wasn't going to let Tiga have the blood she has already, so he destroyed all of the vials containing Urarakas blood. He never gave Toga more blood than necessary.

Safety first.

...

" How is problem child? " Aizawa asked as he walked towards class 1-A, who standing next to Midoriyas room. Present Mic helped his friend walk to the room since Aizawa was missing a leg.

" He's currently being checked by recovery girl but mentally, he's in a worse state. " Shinso said.

" How bad? " Aizawa asked.

" He asked why he should continue being a hero. " Shoto said.

" I see. " Aizawa said, saddened and shocked by the revelation.

" Seems like you're all here. " Nezu said as he walked down the hall with Endeavor, Hawks, All Might, Best Jeanist, and Mirko behind him.

" Is the kid alright? " Hawks asked.

" What do you think chicken wings? " Bakugou said to him.

" Okay, never use that tone with me. " Hawks said.

" Or what? " Bakugou challenged.

" Shut up. " Recovery girl said as she opened the door.

" You're can come in now. " Recovery Girl said.

" Hey, kid. " Hawks said. " You good? "

Midoriya just stared at him with dull eyes and a blank face.

" Yeah okay. That makes sense. " Hawks said as he backed away.

" Really? That's the best you could do? " Mirko asked.

" You try then. " Hawks said.

" No thanks. I don't what to say anyway. " Mirko said.

" Problem child. " Aizawa said as he walked up to Midoriya.

" Hey, Mr. Aizawa. " Midoriya greeted, his tone dull. All Might's facial features fell in sadness as he looked at his successor, his student. He failed as his mentor.

Nezu on the other hand took output his phone and texted Axel who had just teleported into UA thanks to Kurogiri. Axel looked at the text, where Nezu asked him to come to the infirmary and to bring everyone else.

" What do you think All for One meant? " Rappa asked.

" Don't know. Who would All for One try to break above all others? " Setsuno asked.

" Oi Axel. " Stain called out.

" I have an idea about who, but I'll just need to see for myself. Come with me to the infirmary. I probably have a lot of explaining to do. " Axel said.

" Who did you text Nezu? " Hawks asked as he watched Nezu put away his phone.

" I texted Axel to come here. " Nezu said with a smile.

Aizawa narrowed his eyes at Nezu, Axel wasn't even with class 1-A while waiting outside the room.

" Why would you need to text him to come here? Didn't he go with them to get Midoriya right? " Aizawa asked.

" No, he didn't. He was busy with something and wasn't answering his phone. " Bakugou said.

" Said it was a project he was working on. " Mina explained, wondering what the project was about.

" I see. " Aizawa said.

" Do you know what the project is about? " Hawks asked.

" Of course I do. " Nezu said. " He asked me for help and I said yes. It's been a blast so far. " Nezu said happily.

The door to the room opened as Axel entered the room, along with the others. Everyone stared in shock as they watched Stain enter the room, along with Kurogiri and the eight bullets.

Axel stared at Midoriya who had a dull look in his eyes and a blank face that wasn't even surprised at the sight.

No that wasn't it.

Midoriya just didn't care about what happened.

' So, I did end up helping him break you. ' Axel thought as he stared at Midoriya.
