Tenya Iida of class 1-a is one of the top students in his class, not to mention class rep.

With his smarts, powerful speed quirk, and well known family, people would say he has it good, and even go as far as to say perfect.

Again! Society fails to see past the cover of the book or even take a look at the book blurb.

Inside the artifuly crafted glass that is Tenya Iida is a red liquid made of envy, sorrow, and dissapointment.

His family is made up of heroes. From the moment he was born he was dutied to be the carrier of his familys legacy as his older brother failed to be the perfect picture of the name Iida.

The immense pressure of always going beyond expectations, and being the perfect picture of regalness and high class. Never shown the option of saying no to his family he deemed it nonexistent. In short he was brain washed.

Skillfuly raised to be the perfect hero while believing it was his choice most of his life and also made to believe that anything besides his familys opinions are false.

His brother saw what his family was doing to Iida and wanted him to have a normal childhood, free from the heavy duty of always carrying the family name.

Tensei would try his best to give him at least a small childhood. Even though he disagrees with the familys tradition of up bringing the Iida family was still his own so he cant just pull his brother away.

The efforts of the older brother didnt go unnoticed by Tenya and was greatly appreciated. He adored his older brother and with this Tenya started to build his own morals on top of his familys teachings in hopes to burry them but with the inability to fully destroy it.

And so he became 2 people. Iida , the person his family raised and Tenya the person that his brother help build along with his own choices. But soon his other persona showed while with his 'family' and in response became stricter and made higher expectations for him to over come. This happened when he was still in the 1st year of middle school.

He fell in hole of self doubt, envy of others and other depressing things that he will never mention to other, exept 1:

Izuku Midoriya.

The small greenette was quirkless but with strong ambition. He met this boy in his 2nd year in middle school entirely by accident in a school supplies store.

Izuku was the first person to look past his facade of robot like personality. The first thing the freckled, and covered in injuries guy said was:

"I think humans are better than robots, dont you think?"

Tenya knew what the stranger in front of him meant. This guy only saw him for what? A few minutes? And already saw through him.

If this guy can see through me then what about my family?! Is it that obvious? I can never seem to do anything right dammit! Is it his quirk? I hope hes not dangerous.

And before Tenya knew it he was in an abandoned park crying his heart out in the arms of a quirkless hero without a title.

TENYAS POV

I hear my phone buzzing.

I grabbed my glasses and looked at my phone and saw my parents calling me and I quickly answered.

"Its been 5 rings Tenya! What are you doing its already late?! Youre already staying in UA so dont embaress yourself. Make us proud, remember anything less is unacceptable."
