My no 2 pencil hovered above the paper. It was time to choose my highschool. I knew most of the kids in my class were going to apply to UA, but would I be one of them?
I thought back to all the things they had said to me:
"Izuku I'm so sorry."
"You'll never be a hero."
"Just give up."
"Do us all a favor and take a swan dive off the roof!"
No.
I won't go to UA.
Everyone was right. I can't be a hero.
But I can still be a working member of society. I don't need a quirk to be an artist. I don't need a quirk to own a business. I can do just fine without a quirk.
I rest my hesitating pencil on the printed lines of the paper.To write my future. To write away what I couldn't be. To write what I will be.
As I lift my hand for the strokes in each word, a new confidence arises within my heart.
I am Izuku Midoriya.
And this is how I became The Shadow Hero.
