I woke up the next day. It was already 5:30 p.m.. I sleep though the whole day.

Shit! I completely overslept school!

Why do I care anyway? I am above the level that they teach us! And it only gives me more pain!

I was still laying on my bed. My hands stung because of the new wounds I had. Slowly I began lifting myself up and saw that my bedsheets were now covered in blood. My stomach was growling as I didn't eat anything for the past week. Once I was up from the bed, I made my way to the kitchen and looked for anything edible. To my misfortune, there wasn't anything. My mother didn't left any food for me nor money. I was still considering myself lucky as the rent was paid in advanced for a year.

Me: *Sigh* No food for me again... I didn't feel that hungry anyway!

I felt dead inside after what the underground hero told me. It wasn't even that bad when my idol the number one hero All Might told me I couldn't be one but hearing it from someone that basically fight quirkless hit me harder than I thought it would. My whole world was destroyed in a span of one week.

I then went back to room and grabbed my phone.

I promised I would talk to the hero. However, I never said where I would talk to him or what I would do while I was talking to him.

I put something comfortable on and covered my wrist in bandages. This was only a precaution because I was about to go out to by a rope and a hook. There was a store at the corner of the road where I live and that's where I was heading. I still had some money with me. The money was stolen as I would steal from my mother in the past. I always had a feeling she would leave me one day and the day finally arrived a last week. It took me 30 minutes to go and get the rope. Normally it would only take me 20 minutes but the shop owner needed to go back of the store to get me a rope because it was sold out.

Luck was really not on my side! How can a rope be sold out?! How many people want to hang themselves?

After I got home, I went to the living room and put my phone down. I was calling the hero and put him on speaker. This time it didn't take long for him to answer my call.

Eraserhead: Hello, Midoriya.

Me: Hello, Eraserhead.

I didn't felt like talking to him. Instead, I made a hangmans's knot in the rope I just bought.

Eraserhead: ...

Me: ...

Eraserhead: Someone told me to do some small talks but I will be honest with you kid, I am not someone who talks much or is even good at small talks.

Me: That's ok. I am busy anyways.

Eraserhead: What are you doing?

Me: Playing with knots...

Eraserhead: If that calms your mind than go ahead you can still talk to me while you do that right?

Are you that dump? A suicidal kid just tells you that he is playing with knots?! What the hell is calming about this and not alluring?! I guess I should consider myself lucky then...

Me: Mhm.

Eraserhead: Good then how was your day?

Me: Slept through it.

Eraserhead: Didn't you have school?

Me: Yeah but I was too tired to wake up and only woke up an hour ago.

Eraserhead: That can happen to everyone Midoriya.

Me: I guess so.

I fished the knot and tried got some useful utensils to attach the rope's end to the ceiling. All I had to do was get a hock I could attach to the wall and then attach it to the ceiling.

Eraserhead: You said you found a lot of information about me yesterday. Mind telling me what you found out.

Guess I can do that one last time. Let's put my analytical skills to work!

Me: Sure. Hero Name: Eraserhead also know as the Erasure Hero. Your Name is Shota Aizawa. Your husband is Yamada Hizashi also known as Present Mic. You both adopted a son Hitoshi Shinso which has the ability called Brainwash even if I think it doesn't really deserve that name though. His quirk and your quirk are labeled as villainous.

I finished attaching the hook to the ceiling and took the rope and attached one end to it.

Me: Your quirk is called Erasure. Your quirk gives you the ability to nullify another person's Quirk by looking at the user. The effects of this Quirk can still last even if they are out of your sight.

Me: From what I could tell, your quirk is powerful but has some drawbacks such as: By Blinking your quirk deactivates itself. You get bad dry eyes, which is forcing you to blink more often when you use your quirk continuously. Most Mutant-class Quirks are immune to Erasure. While activate it makes your hair stand up, allowing the enemies to see when the Quirk is active or not. It also has no offensive potential.

My makeshift hanging tree was ready. I had a hangman's knot and it the rope was hanging from the ceiling.

Me: You have keen observation and evaluation skills. I am only guessing here but you can easily evaluate someone's personalities and their mental state. In battle, you use goggles to prevent enemies from figuring out who you are currently looking at, and keep them guessing. I would also say that you have an extreme pain tolerance.

I took a chair and adjusted the height of the rope.

Me: Now onto your scarf. You developed a unique fighting style that involves the scarf like capture weapon. You are doing this by immobilizing your opponents, as well as using it for mobility such as swinging onto objects or from building to building.

Once I was done I put my head into the opening and finished what I was saying.

Me: Even without the aid of your Quirk, you have great hand-to-hand combat skills.

Once I was done, I kicked the back of the chair and the chair fell down, making a loud noise and alluring the hero.

Eraserhead: Midoriya?

I was now hanging. Unfortunately my neck didn't snap which means it would take some time for me to die this way and it was painful too.

Eraserhead: MIDORIYA!

I was gasping for air loudly. It was a reflex that came naturally from my body. Then I could hear that the hero ended our call. Some minutes later I could hear some sirens but at the same time black dotes where spreading through my view.

He wasn't a complete idiot and only wanted to stall time till they got to me... That's why he was asking what I found out about him. I underestimated him. However, this won't be a problem as it will probably be too late!

I was barely conscious when I could hear the door busted open and saw someone in black running at me and putting me down. My eyes went shut and I once again welcomed the darkness.

You are to late hero! I finally can rest in peace!
