Driven to be the number one hero

Chapter 81

The gym was silent except for one little girl. Eri was shouting that's my daddy. My daddy won she continued. But class 3B who showed up just to see who Mirio challenged was stunned silent. The top fighter in their class, no scratch that the top fighter in the school just lost to a freshman. Bakugo, Kirishima and Todoroki followed the girls to the fight and were shocked by how much Izuku was improving. Becoming more aggressive and losing wasteful movement. Todoroki knew that if Izuku went after him that way. Their fight would have been much shorter. Bakugo felt his hackles rise when Izuku won. Especially when he found out that he just beat the top fighter in the school. 

Mirio woke up in the recovery room. Nejire and Tamaki both were there waiting for him. What happened during the fight Nejire asked. You looked confused for a moment, letting Izuku gain the advantage Tamaki said. Recovery Girl walked in when she heard them talking. How are you feeling Mirio Recovery Girl asked. Was professor Aizawa at my fight Mirio asked. No he wasn't Recovery Girl replied. Then something's wrong with my quirk, it failed to activate twice Mirio said. Recovery Girl smiled and said that was Izuku who canceled your quirk. But everyone I've spoken with said he's a brawler with telekinetic abilities Mirio said. Because that's what he let's them believe Recovery Girl said. Then what is his quirk Mirio asked. Recovery Girl smiled and said i can't tell you.

The last time I've seen Izuku that aggressive, is when he was defending me Momo said. Tsuyu and Ochaco both agreed remembering how aggressive he was when he defended them. Eri looked at the girls and asked what's wrong. Nothing wrong sweetie Tsuyu said. A couple of minutes later Izuku stepped out of the locker room. Daddy Eri squealed as she jumped into his arms. It was Ochaco that said I've never seen you go after a student that aggressively. He wasn't just a student Izuku said. He was the schools top fighter Izuku clarified, strong, adaptable intelligent and dangerous if underestimated he continued. Plus after that fight I don't think that many of seniors will challenge me Izuku said. 

Bakugo was in the gym punching the heavy bag, anger welling up in his gut. With every punch he threw. He pictured Izuku fighting that Senior. What really made him angry was that Izuku made it look simple. Bakugo spoke with a couple of the students of class 3B and Miro was the real deal, nobody had been able to beat him in the last two years. What made it worse Izuku beat Mirio by canceling his quirk. Mirio had a fighting chance. The more Bakugo thought about it the angrier he got. Bakugo continued to punch the heavy bag until his knuckles bled. Once again Izuku was distancing the gap between them.

Todoroki watched the look on Momo's face go from adoration to concern, during the fight. That gave him hope. That he might have a chance to ask her out. He also knew that in order for him to improve his fighting abilities, he was going to have to do something he didn't want to. Todoroki pulled out his cell phone and called his dad and said I need your help. Endeavor picked up his cell phone and heard his son's request and said I can help you, but the training is going to hard and you're going to have to do what I tell you to do. Todoroki said I'll do it. Endeavor said your training begins tomorrow after school. 

As Izuku walked with the girls for the first time he felt free. He didn't hide how strong he really was, and they still accepted him. Izuku smiled until his phone rang. Once again he rejected the call. who was that Tsuyu asked. Pony has been trying to call me ever since the party Izuku said. I've been ignoring her calls he continued. Momo looked at Izuku and said you should call her. Izuku looked confused and asked why. Momo smiled to let her go or to forgive her. Izuku looked at Momo, then to Ochaco then to Tsuyu who were nodding their heads in agreement. Izuku sighed pulled out his phone and called.

Pony was sitting with Kendo when her phone rang. Pony's nerves were running wild. Kendo put her hand on her friends shoulder. Answer it Kendo said. I'm sorry were the first words out of Pony's mouth when she answered the phone. The next words broke her heart. I forgive you Izuku said. But I'm not interested in dating you anymore he continued. Thank you for being so nice to Eri he continued. I enjoyed the time we spent together, but I think you should find someone that can make you happy Izuku said. Goodbye Pony Izuku hung up his phone. Tears rolled down Pony's face as she set down her phone. Kendo pulled her friend in to a hug. Pony hugged her friend back and began to cry.

The UA staff watched the fight between Izuku and Mirio for the third time. We have two options after this Dean Nezu said. Pull Izuku from their combat class and pair him up against Instructors, or increase the difficulty for the class as a whole he continued. Aizawa smiled and said increase the difficulty, we all know that once they graduate it doesn't get any easier. All Might agreed. Recovery Girl disagreed saying that they might break the students. Ectoplasm and Thirteen agreed with her. Vlad King I agree with Aizawa, the harder we are the better prepared they will be. Midnight, Cementos and Power Loader agreed with Vlad. Ok then we will increase the difficulty for the entire class Nezu said. Aizawa your free to do what ever you want, take notes on what works and what doesn't Nezu said. We're going to rewrite the freshman curriculum using class 1A Nezu said.
