Warning: Suicide Reference and Attempted

---

You know, there are a lot of ways to take down All Might.

I could electrocute him.

I could punch him in the balls or his side where it really hurts. Before you ask, yes, I know of All Might's injury. I don't know the specifics, but I know he prefers his right over his left. You have to pay close attention to notice that.

I could do a stripper dance to throw him off.

Basically, there is a lot of bullshit I can pull out of my ass! However, I am extremely limited with all my support items taken away.

My original plan was to use Bakugo as a scapegoat while I prepare a plan and takedown All Might.

Well, apparently, there was one more rule that is in the challenge for me! The reason they didn't mention it was because they knew it would offend Bakugo. Before my round, Shouta pulled me aside to make sure I wasn't bringing anything illegal inside. That is when he told me the final rule.

I can not let Bakugo be knocked out. If he knocks out, it is an automatic loss for me.

I call that bullshit. Pretty much, every plan is out the window. I have to keep Bakugo alive, a boy controlled by his impulsive ID, and I have to face All Might, the number one hero.

Then, they have me belittled to the quirkless boy that my technology hides. The harsh truth, but it's a reality I must accept. So what do I have to work with?

I assume stripping is off the table. Though, I will keep that in mind for a final resort. We have Bakugo's anger that I need to turn into an advantage, and a hero who saves everybody...wait a moment...saves everybody!

If I try to fight him hand-to-hand, even with Akaguro's training, I'm fucked. All Might's quirk is too strong to overpower. I wouldn't bother to face him with CAT. I might confront him with my batons, and I would still take a hit, at least! I always believe there are two types of battle: a physical struggle is a battle that everyone sees, which appeals to the senses. Meanwhile, a mental struggle is a hidden battle behind closed doors that most people remain ignorant of.

I have to fight mentally and emotionally as both of those are kind of the same thing. This might end in me going to a psych ward, but oh well!

All Might's battleground is a city landscape, where he typically fights. Unfortunately for me, they locked the stores, so it isn't like I could go to Walmart and build another CAT or something like that. I'm entirely quirkless. My clothes don't even help me as I'm wearing a UA gym outfit with red sneakers! Bakugo seems ready to rumble.

I look around, absorbing every detail I can. I can't go too far, or I will get lost. I see my exit point, though, not your typical exit point like where I'm supposed to be going. Bakugo is already sweaty AF because I can smell him. That means to stay the fuck away from him because his quirk is prepared to explode!

"Hey, Bakugo, what's your plan?"

"I'm facing All Might, and you're going to stay out of the way!" The chihuahua exclaims. I can't help but burst out laughing. "What?!"

"You have not won against me, yet, you think you can face All Might, a man with the most powerful quirk in the world!? Is this a joke?! It must be!" I bend my knees to get ready to run.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

"You heard me, Kacchan! You might want to beat me first unless you want me to take your thunder!" I sing his old nick-name with a smirk decorating my face.

"Round 10. Ready, go!"

"DEKU!" Bakugo screams and blasts forward to attack me. Stupid move on his part, I'm his teammate! But this is the reaction I wanted, so it all works out! I slide to the left to avoid him and dash into the alleyway, "GET BACK HERE, DEKU! FACE ME LIKE A MAN!" Too bad, I act too gay for my own good! I run towards my destination in mind: the fire exit with stairs on the side of the building.

I start climbing, having my shirt was singed multiple times along with my neck once as I climb to the top, but I mostly outspeed him. When I get to the top of the staircase, I climb the ladder onto the roof and run towards the edge.

"DEKU, WHAT ARE YOU FUCKING DOING?!"

I slow down, stopping to look over the railing, " You know, reminiscing on memories. And if I am correct..."

"COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!" All Might screams echo throughout the city as a force of a tornado runs through the center, destroying the entire main street. I bend down to keep myself from flying off the fucking building.

That is a show of his power, even with the weights on. I ain't stupid enough to face him with that. It doesn't help that his tone of voice has completely changed

"DEKU! WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?" Bakugo tries to run forward to attack. I side-step him to avoid the attack. Just give it one moment...and now!

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING ON THE ROOF? YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN HIDE FROM ME!?" What is up with everyone screaming? All Might easily hops onto the roof that took me five minutes to climb. He almost blows us off, but thankfully, there is a railing! Show-off.

I mean, I could do that IF I WAS ALLOWED MY GEAR! I WILL FOREVER REMAIN SALTY OVER THAT!

He has a completely different demeanor. He looks like a villain. More specifically, he looks like fucking sans from Undertale with the one glowing eye. It happens to be blue too!

CONSPIRACY THEORY: ALL MIGHT IS SANS! Unfortunately, there isn't a goddamn reset button.

I should be trying to make sure I don't die, huh? I can see Bakugo shaking in his boots because All Might is doing the same thing as Stain and I.

SUCK IT, PUSSY!

I look at All Might with my signature psychotic grin.

"Actually, you are where I want you. I assume you heard this loud-ass beside me?" Bakugo growls.

"What makes you say that?"

"I'm going to be honest for once in many times of my life. I don't stand a chance against you physically, and I don't feel like breaking my back today! Recovery Girl would have all our asses here! It doesn't help that I have none of my technological items on me!" Obviously, Bakugo is done with my shit because he tries to attack All Might while he is distracted with my shit. Emphasis on tried. All Might grabs his face and throws him off the building!

Welp, that is one obstacle out of the way! He should be fine!

"Shouldn't you be worried about your teammate, young Midoriya?" All Might asks.

"The dumbass is too stubborn to die. He will probably take a moment to recover, but we will worry about him in a moment. Right now. It is between you and me." With a smirk, I walk over to the railing while facing away from All Might.

Please don't follow my example because this is the stupidest thing I have done yet. I have a speech, though!

"Before you decided to destroy the town for a show-off reason, I brought Bakugo up here to reminiscence on times. Remember ten months before the exam when you told me that a quirkless can't become a hero basically? The day of the slime attack? The day I saved Bakugo from that slime attack? The day the slime community cried because the slime got arrested? They didn't even get a chance to turn it into crunchy slime! I know you're old, so I have to make sure."

"Of course. But what does that have to do with now?"

"There is one detail I left out of there." I crawl over the railing.

"Midoriya, what are you doing?" I completely ignore that statement. Finally, I face him.

"That same day, Bakugo told me that, in order to gain a quirk, I need to take a swan dive off a roof." I chuckle darkly, "Coincidence to the max, huh?"

"What about the exam?" I am impressed that he's staying calm.

"That is the least of my worries. It was nice meeting you, All Might." With that, I let go of the railing and fall back.

I fly through the air with nothing trying to hold me down but gravity itself. I pay very close attention to my descent because I ain't dying from this either way. They forgot one item when they checked over me.

They forgot my shoes. Yes, they look like regular red shoes. However, they have shock absorbents on the bottom, so it will take some damage. I will still get injured, but it will at least keep me alive!

Though, after this stunt, not sure if I will want to be to deal with Shouta's bullshit.

Before I can upright myself for landing, I feel myself get grabbed midair. Without looking to see who it is, I grab the handcuffs and slam it on their wrist as we land.

"Round 10: Win."

Good, so it was All Might!

"Alright, you can put me down now!" I exclaim, my mood taking a 180 switch. I look up to see All Might looking down at me with a gloomy look, "What? Oh yeah, if you didn't save me, I would have been safe. You guys forgot to check my shoes for some reason. They have shock absorbents!"

"Young Midoriya, that is still a very dangerous move."

"So is fighting you! Full offense, but I don't want to look like you yet!"

"I will let the teachers deal with you." With that, he puts me down, and I run back.

TIME FOR SOME PAIN AND SUFFERING!

---

Before you ask, yes, Bakugo is fine. He survived and didn't pass out. He only fucked up his shoulders a little because he uses his explosions to slow down the landing. Nothing too bad, though!

Now, what is terrible is Shouta! He knew something was going to fuck up because when I am walking back, he is waiting right at the entrance! The moment he sees me, he grabs my hand while muttering something like, 'if you can't act mentally mature, I won't treat you like you are.'

. . .

I don't get it! Anyway, he drags me straight to Hound Dog. For those who don't know, Hound Dog is our counselor of UA! Hound Dog sits in a chair with Shouta and I sitting on the couch across from him. Oh, and Shouta is still holding my hand. I guess he thinks I'm going to get up. He isn't wrong.

"How are you doing, Hound Dog? I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you personally! Hi, I'm Izuku!" I raise my free hand for a handshake while offering him a smile. Hound Dog holds a confused look, shaking my hand before looking over at Shouta.

"Yes. He normally acts this way." Shouta decides to add while I get my germ-x out.

"That is good to know. Now, what has happened to lead you both in here?" Hound Dog asks. I personally don't know, so I'm going to let Shouta continue this before I get punched in the stomach. Shouta sighs, finally letting go of my fucking hand only to wrap me in his scarf to keep me there. I glare at him.

"You don't even deserve to do that after what you did," Shouta growls, " for his final exam, he decided that faking suicide is the way to winning." I know this is the wrong time to play with fire, but...

"It worked though, didn't it? I even had my shoes, and I know how to land in case it didn't work!" I exclaim. This pisses him off.

"And what happens after that, Izuku?! Broken legs?!" Good thing he isn't with the original version of me!

Oh, wait, ignore that, please! I will have flex seal fix it later!

"Could be worst! But you forget that my shoes have shock absorbents. I would not have tried anything if I didn't know if I would survive or not." That is actually the truth. I can tell he is trying to calm down. He takes a deep breath before he talks.

"That's not the point. The point is you went on an extreme route to win. You couldn't have come up with anything else?"

"I did. However, this one had the minimum risk and ended the round the quickest. Let's be honest here: anyone could guess that I would start singing a song or something ridiculous like that. Am I really going to try that with All Might? No. That is too high of a risk; thus, I decided to fight emotions on emotions. To be fair, there wasn't much to lose with my plan. Fighting All Might without any support ideas would be the stupidest idea in the world, yet I had to do it. The whole battle was suicidal." Hound Dog decides to step in as we are about to start arguing with his woofing speech.

"There is one matter you forgot to consider, Izuku. You forgot to consider the emotional repercussions of your actions. This will have an effect not only on you and Aizawa's relationship but also on everyone who was watching as well. This will extend outside of the exam. Your past does not shine a light on things as you were a past alcoholic and smoker as well. In fact, it makes the whole situation worse. I personally do not believe I can help here, but you and Aizawa need to talk about this. Just by how you two treat each other every day, I can tell you two care for each other deeply." He turns to face Aizawa to speak to him.

"You heard what I said. Izuku struggles to understand the wrongs in what he is doing and will need help to realize that it is wrong. I don't know if he is denying it, if he knows it and is making a joke of this somehow, or he seriously does not understand it and blocks that part of his brain somehow. You will figure it out faster than me. I will let you two speak by yourself here. There is a lot of tension." With that, Hound Dog got up and left.

Jesus Christ, he left me with Satan.

God, help me?

Nope?

Alright then, time to talk about our emotions!

---

Author talking here.

I will be honest and say that what I did is something a normal person should NOT do. Most people would consider a different plan, even with precautions. The reason I made Izuku do this is for story purposes, and it is based purely on Izuku's personality. If this offends anyone in any way, I am sorry, but this is my story.

Now, if you ever feel this way, you should get help. Nobody deserves to think that way. Everyone deserves peace at one point in their life, good or evil.
