Akari's POV

I can't believe I transform again! I honestly thought I was going to die when I was in that ball getting suffocated along with Ms. Lillian and her baby, but how did I do it again? Was it my instinct that tells me to? Or was it— "Akari!" I got my mind cut off from both voices, which made me look up and see my parents running towards me, "Mom! Dad!" I yelled as both of them gave me a big hug when they went to me.

Honestly, I was shocked of why their both here in my school, but I hug them back either way, then we three let go, "What are you guys doing here?!" "Your mother and I got in touch by a Pro Hero and tell us that a villain was attacking in your school, we got worried because we thought you'll get hurt, and looks like you didn't," Papa said explaining the situation to me, I nodded in understanding then I start to realized that they're wearing their Hero Costume, to show that they're also Pro Heroes in this Country (I wish I can tell the detail... but I don't want to).

In all honesty, I feel bad that they have to go all this way to come here and get into this mess, I look down in sadness and shame, why? 'Cause I feel like I'm dragging them with me, getting into the mess that I'm doing.

I then felt a hand on my head, making me look and see my dad with a comforting smile on his face, "You shouldn't feel shame, you should be glad, that everyone around is safe and sound, including you." He told me, making me smile a bit already feeling better, then he ruffled my head making my hair messier, that made me laugh and smile, "Daaaaad!" "*laughs* at least he got you to smile." I heard my mom replied, and she's right, he got me to smile, and I'm honestly glad that I have a father like him, he's like a father figure to everybody who doesn't have a father or mother in their lives, I'm glad I have a family that supports me.

I saw the villain getting cuffed and forced into a Cops van so they can take them somewhere where he can't escape. Then I realized that Midoriya and Bakugo was here, I turn my head to see if they were here, and I see them getting lecture and disciplined from a teacher and Pro Hero that I know, Shota Aizawa, aka Eraser Head, I sweatdrop when I saw him wrapped his scarf around the three, and yes, I noticed that Todoroki is here too.

"Akari!" I hear a female voice that I know of, I turn to see Jenny with Mayako, and behind them were our gym classmates and Ms. Jackson, they all look relief and happy that students like us saved our school, also helping the Pro Heroes.

I'm honestly kind of surprised that we're getting much attention... too much attention... making me feeling dizzy all of the sudden, then I see Mayako and Jenny pull me back from the big group and both of them gave me a hug, which I hug back, "Good job Akari, you save the school." Mayako whispered to me as Jenny nodded as we three let go, "No... we save the school." I told them, smiling softly, which they smile back, then we hear a huge laugh that we all know and love, All Might, "YOUNG NAKAMURA!" I heard him yelled out my last name, which made me jolted when he landed in front of me and stand tall with a big smile on his face.

I'm. Honestly. Scared. Why? CAUSE A #1 PRO HERO IS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!! I really wanted to squeal, fangirl, do anything! But I need to stay strong, don't want to embarrass myself in front of a Symbol of Peace, so I just smiled but my body is feeling shaky from excitement, "Young Nakamura, your the person we were looking for, including you Young Gōrudo!" All Might told me, and also told Mayako who now got her attention, Eraser Head was done lecturing the three but is still keeping them tied up.

"Us?" "Yes, both of you. We've heard that you two were the ones that save three people's lives by the most wanted villain from Japan that came here to not only hide but to kill people if I'm correct." Eraser Head explains, which made the people around them was a surprise, they honestly didn't know that 15-year-old girls stopped a 6 foot most wanted villain that about to kill more people, "Y-yes sir. But how did you—" "We've heard the news in Japan. We know who you two were 'cause we still had the information of when you were in Junior High!" All Might explains which made me started to think about what he means... 'till my mind clicks as if I've now realized what he means.

"SHE DIDN'T DO IT?!?!" I yelled in fear and anxiety started to consume me as I gripped my hair, Mayako and Jenny both look at me with the most confusing look on their faces, "What do you, Aka-San." Jenny said, using my nickname while trying to calm me down, I look at the two and started explaining what I meant, "Before I move here, I told my Junior High teacher that I don't want to apply UA since I was still Quirkless." I explain, already remembering our conversation.

~Flashback~

"What?! You now don't want to apply!?!?" She exclaims loudly as her glasses are about to fall off her face, luckily, I'm talking to her after school 'cause if I tell her during or before lunch, then she'll be screaming.

The reason why she's shocked is that she's a really great friend of my mom, and she knows that I want to be a Pro Hero with my two childhood friends, Kacchan and Izu-Kun, but thinking about it more and more of what Kacchan said to not only Izu but to me, makes me realize that I should just give up, since I know damn well that a Quirk would just magically appear in my hands or any part of my body.

"Why don't you want to apply? Isn't that your dream to go to UA?" She asked, fixing her glasses and sits down finally calming down, I shuffled my feet while looking down, thinking if I should tell her or not, tell her that Izu and I have been bullied by our friend, tell her that Kacchan tries to force us to give up our dreams, I wish I can tell her everything but... I can't do it...

"I just... I know that I won't be having a Quirk anytime soon, I'll probably be in a low class like Class 1-B or 1-C... also, I was thinking about going to another high school, but it's going to be in America though..." I said trailing off, looking down in sadness as my hair cover my left eye from looking down, I hear her sigh softly.

"Alright, I understand your decisions, and I won't ask any further questions and won't pester you anymore, again, this is your decisions, and I'll respect that. If you want me to not apply you to UA, I'll do that." She said, explaining to me what's she's going to do, I smile when she said she respects my decisions and not going to share my personal information and applying me to the Hero school, "Thank you, now I should be leaving since I have to help my parents pack along with mine." I told her, grabbing my stuff and was about to leave, but then stop and turn to her and smile, "Goodbye, Ms. Sasuki." "Bye, Nakamura." I hear her said after I close the door and go home, what I didn't know that she's going to share my personal information with the popular Hero school when I left.

~Flashback End~

"Apparently, looks like she didn't do it what I've ask 'cause she thinks that I was going to change my mind." I said in the annoyed tone that I've ever had, which the Pro's, Mayako, and Jenny can here since they're around me but not too close, "But why did she think that you can still apply to this school?" "Because she thinks that I'll get a Quirk before the Exam starts, but... I just give up on that stupid dream... thinking that I'll never be a Hero... since I'll just be a stupid, dumb, Quirkless girl that people bullies and ignore..." I said, looking at my hand then gripped it to a fist, already feeling anger risen in me.

Remembering everything that I tried to forget... hearing that I was Quirkless... Bakugo bullying not only me when I told him the news, but also to Izuku... feeling betrayed from my childhood friend that was my crush... feeling anger of... myself... for being like this... "Akari! Your hand is bleeding!" I heard Jenny said, I got out of my thoughts and realize that I see my hand now bleeding due to my nails, that are now long, digging too much into my skin, I honestly didn't feel pain when I did that, and honestly I don't care anymore, but looks like Mayako care because she grab my hand and examine it.

"It's alright if you don't want to explain more, we under—" "What do you know?" I asked quietly, feeling anger rising more and more, "What?..." "I said, what do you know WHAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW!!!" I exclaimed, ripping my hand out of her grip which made my blood flying everywhere, and now everyone was watching my movements, even my parents and I can tell that their getting worried, I wish I can stop myself... but I can't, I feel nothing but anger, sadness, and despair...

"I have been through hell, trying to find a light, a light that can save me and my depression, my anxiety, my everything!... But I couldn't... it's like I'm getting ignored, getting leave in the darkness, and you know what, I'm getting used to be by myself ever since I've been bullied. Hated. And backstabbed BY MY OWN CHILDHOOD FRIEND!!!! I TRIED AND TRIED TO THINK A BETTER WAY TO BECOME A HERO! BUT YOU KNOW, HE WAS RIGHT! THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO BECOME A HERO, I SHOULD'VE LISTEN TO HIS ADVICE! YET, MY STUPID INSTINCTS THINK I CAN HOPE THAT I'LL GET A DAMN QUIRK!!!!!!"

Already, big beads of tears started to come out of my eyes like waterfalls when I was done what I have to say, wanted to fall down on my knees and just cry there, but I was still standing feeling my hair grow a bit longer due to feeling too much emotions.

"Just... why does it have to be me?... of all people around the world... it had to be... me..." I mumbled, feeling more tears coming out of my eyes, I felt two hands rub my back and shoulder, already know who they were, I just stand there and cried feeling my parents comfort and care. Already don't want to be here in this school. Already don't want to be in this world...

"Well, we can change that." I hear Eraser Head told me, when he said that, I stopped my tears when I hear in his voice he cares and worried about me, I slightly turn my head to look at him with a confused look on my face, "What do you mean?..." I asked slowly, more confused of what he means, "Meaning that—" "THAT YOU'LL BE COMING WITH US TO UA, WHERE ALL YOUNG HEROES COME TO LEARN AND BECOME PRO HEROES!!!" All Might yelled, completely cutting Eraser Head off.

"Yeah, what he said." He said in a now tired tone, I... was really shocked... not because of what he said,but because they chose me, of all people they could've pick anyone... they pick me... I look down as my bangs covering my eyes that went from shock to sadness, "You can come with us to Japan so you can apply to UA and start what you need to do, and if you want, you can—" "I'm sorry. But..." I cut Eraser Head off, who look at me confused as one eyebrow rose up, "But what?" He repeat, I look at him with blank look on my face as my lips turn to a frown, "... I'm going to decline your offer..." I said loud and clear, you can hear emotionless in my voice, meaning I feel... nothing.

There was silent for a minute, 'till everyone screamed out "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!" Then they started to ask me questions like, "What? Why?!" "Why wouldn't you want to go?!?!" "UA is the most popular high school that is in Japan?!" "You should totally go!" "It's going to be awesome that someone like you should go!" "If they ask me, I would definitely say yes!" "ENOUGH!!!" I yelled in anger, feeling myself shake more and more from adrenaline and anxiety, "Even if I have a Quirk, there's no point for me to go to UA, I didn't show myself that I'm strong 'cause I was Quirkless at the time, plus... there's no point for me to prove myself that I'm worthy enough to go to UA... I just think that... I'm not good enough..." I said, looking down again to the floor, feeling people backing up a bit to give me space, the adrenaline stop but my Anxiety didn't go away, I then walk away out of the group not looking back as I whistle Ishiku to come, which he did and I got on him, "Don't follow me!" I told them as he started flying and started to go to our secret place.

Mayako's POV

"AKARI!" I yelled, but she ignore me and just kept riding Ishiku that went somewhere, I look down making my bangs covering my eyes, feeling anger of myself for not comforting her and helping her calm down, I'm her older cousin! I should've... done something... I felt a hand rest on my shoulder, turning to find Akari's dad, Uncle Hiroji, "Don't worry Mayako, let Akari cool down before you can go and get her." He suggested, I sigh and nodded agreeing with Uncle Hiroji, then I've realized...

"Where's All Might?" I asked, that made all of us look around to see that the big Pro Hero is gone, "*sigh* of course he's going to do that..." I hear Eraser Head mumbled tiredly to himself, I was confused already, 'What does he mean by that?...' I thought while I look around trying to find him, but then give up and we start cleaning up the mess. I hope you'll be okay Akari...

I'm going to stop here 'cause it's getting too long and I want this short, so... I hope you guys like it...
Oh! Also, there's going to be something in one of my books, you'll have to find out and see.

Bye-bye my pups, and I hope you have a PLUS-ULTRA time!!!
