The Meaning Of Being A Hero? - Male Reader X My Hero Academia

Chapter 7 - The Past That I Want To Forget So Much

[Third Person-POV]

(Y/N):There is no one around here,now tell me what you wanted to talk about

I said while looking at Shiyori. We were both in the aisles of the stadium,because of the break the whole stadium was empty so no one could hear us.

Shiyori:U-Uh...I-I-I...

Shiyori tried to say a few words but nothing clear came out of her mouth

(Y/N):Shiyori...please tell me...what is happening to you? why do you want to prove that you are stronger than Izumi and me?

Shiyori:...I don't know if I should tell you

(Y/N):Tell me please...

I approached her and put my hand on her cheek,she looked at me with her beautiful eyes

(Y/N):I know this is your problem...but if I can help with something...then I'll do whatever I can

Shiyori:...I want to win this...t-t-to prove...t-t-that I don't need my oldman's quirk to win and I only need my mother's quirk

(Y/N):The quirk of your mother and father?

Shiyori:My old man has a strong desire to rise in the world. As a hero he won a name for himself with crushing force. Because of that,the living legend,All Might,is a great eyesore to him. Since he couldn't surpass All Might,he moved onto his next plan

(Y/N):Mhm

Shiyori:You've heard of Quirk marriages,right?

(Y/N):That thing that became a problem for the second and third generation after superpowers appeared. Choosing a spouse based only on strengthening your own quirk and passing it onto your children,forcing people into marriage. The old-fashioned way of thinking brought about by a lack of ethics

Shiyori:I see that you are quite informed...I was a result of a quirk marriage. As I said before,my father is obsessed with becoming the number one hero...but no matter how hard he tried,he always stayed in the shadow of All Might so he decided to find a suitable family that goes well with his fire quirk and married my mother. I remember that ever since my quirk manifested...I was forced into a tough training that no child could normally endure. I was kept away from my siblings and other children at my school so that I could train more...

I clenched my fists upon hearing Shiyori's words

Shiyori:My mother often got abused trying to protect me from my father. Eventually,she broke down and poured boiling water on my left eye due to abuse...she said "Your left side is unsightly" as she poured boiling water into my eye...that's why this scar...she was put in a mental hospital afterwards by my father and I never saw her since

(Y/N):That bastard...

Shiyori:...I hate my father so much,that's why I want to prove that I am capable of being stronger than Izumi and you without using my father's quirk,I want to show him that I am very strong without the need for his quirk

(Y/N):...Why do you keep saying that?..."my father's quirk" is not his quirk,it's yours,you're not like your father,aren't you?

Shiyori:O-Of course not

(Y/N):It is your power and you use it how you want,not how someone wants you to use it...If you do not use your quirk as you wish then you will end up giving the reason to your father. Don't let the thought that your other half is your father's quirk, it's your quirk and you know how you're going to use it.
