[No One Pov]

At the Yagi Manor; Izumi Yagi, Toshinori Yagi and Inko Yagi were having dinner when Inko noticed that Izuku wasn't there.

Inko: Hey. Where's Izuku?

Toshinori: Hmmm. I didn't see him for a while. Not since then.

Izumi: What happened?

Toshinori: I saved him from the Sludge Villains that attacked Katsuki.

Inko: What happened to Izuku after that?

Toshinori: I... Don't know... I haven't seen him after.

Izumi: Something else happened, did it?

Toshinori: Yeah. After I saved him, he grabbed onto my leg to ask me if he could become a hero with a quirk like his. I told him that he couldn't and he needed to give up.

Inko: He needs to learn that heroism isn't fun and games.

Izumi: Where did you see him last?

Toshinori: On the roof of a building after I told him he couldn't become a hero.

Inko: YOU LEFT HIM ALONE OF THE ROOF OF SOME BUILDING?!

Toshinori: There was a door there. He should've been able to get off without issue.

Then, they heard the sounds of the door opening as they walked towards it to see Izuku enter inside the house, but they could tell that something was off, Izuku was now taller, like 6'6ft tall and had some muscles on his bones.

Inko: Where were you young man?

Izuku: Simple. Stayed on top of a rooftop. deciding my own fate.

Toshinori: To do what?

Izuku: To end my misery.

Inko: Y-You thought about...

Izuku: Yes. I did. It has become more and more of a common thought. and it would be better than trying to live within this society.

Toshinori: But Suicide is never the way to go.

Izuku: That's quite hypocritical of you. I mean, why would you actually care about what happens to me?

Inko: Of course we care about you!

Izuku: Since when? Since when have you ever shown love or affection towards me?

Inko and Toshinori tried to go through their memories that they had of Izuku, however, they noticed that there wasn't one, they didn't have a signal good memory of Izuku, but focused on Izumi.

Izuku: What? Unable to locate a memory of myself, could you? There is no such thing. You showed Izumi all your love and care, but never extended the same to me. I lacked the affection and admiration of individuals who identified as my parents. Do you realize I had to grow up quickly as a child? A young 10-year-old had to demonstrate maturity beyond their years in order to make it through each day.

Toshinori and Inko's eyes widened as they didn't realize that Izuku truly had to act mature and become a responsible adult since they stopped noticing him.

Izuku: With both of you neglecting me and Izumi along with her friends bullying me consistently for years, I've reached a point where my focus is solely on ensuring my own survival. I had considered giving up on my dream of becoming a hero and viewing them simply as self-centered, money-driven individuals who are in it for the fame and money they receive for rescuing people.

Inko: I-Izuku...

Izuku: And you, Izumi. Why are you trying to provoke me into suicide just for wanting to attend General Studies at UA?

Izumi: I-I was only trying to protect you...

Izuku: You failed to provide me with protection. Do you believe you are capable of doing so? Breaking news Izumi, danger can be found everywhere on this planet. Be cautious as threats may arise from those closest to you. If I survive, I survive. In case of my demise, so be it. You can't shield me indefinitely, Izumi. Nobody but you, nobody but your friends, nobody but your parents. Nowhere can be considered completely secure. Being a hero comes with the understanding that death is a possibility, with no assurance of complete peace and safety. In our society, living in a fantasy world is simply not feasible. It's important to mature and confront the truth before it leads to dire consequences.

Toshinori: Izuku. That's enough.

Izuku: Not even close. I'm not even remotely finished. Especially after what you did.

Toshinori: W-What did I do?

Izuku: You have consistently given false hope to those in need. You never considered the consequences of your actions.

Toshinori: W-What?

Izuku: Are you seriously going to act clueless? You've completely destroyed my belief in heroes, All Might?

Toshinori, Izumi and Inko were shocked and terrified that their son knew Toshinori's identity.

Toshinori: H-How did you?

Izuku: Please refrain from changing clothes in the living room near the kitchen, where I've been observing.

Inko: H-How long you knew?

Izuku: Ever since I was 12 years old. I have been withholding that information as leverage.

Izumi: O-Onii-chan. Please. Don't do this.

Izuku: Yes. Absolutely not. I have learned a lesson from you. If you desire precision. Force and blackmail are necessary in this situation.

Izumi: I didn't teach you that!

Izuku: Understood. The potential source of the blackmail could be traced back to my past interactions with Uncle Supreme Rat God Nezu. However, the remainder belongs to you and your friends indefinitely.

Izuku: Now... Please take note of the following events. It is my intention to join UA. I'm going to sign up for the general study class. You are not permitted to communicate with me. I will initiate legal proceedings against you for harassment if you proceed. I will eliminate any chance you have of being perceived as heroes.

Toshinori: You're really going to threaten us?! Your own family?!

Izuku: You are not my family. In my perspective, you are merely acquaintances, nothing more.

Inko: Y-You don't mean that...

Izuku: Yes, I am. It has been almost 12 years since you stopped considering me your son. Our relationship changed after six years, and I no longer viewed you as family.

With that, izuku walked off to his room and packed up what little belongings that he had before walking past his ex family and flipped them off, before leaving the house.
