The Manipulators [ Izuocha ]

Chapter 1-The pain of being powerless

First day of Middle school :-

Izuku's POV:-

It was just a typical first day of middle school. Everyone was gossiping and chatting. Everyone had the excitement of starting middle school. For a new student, the goals of the first day would be to make new friends. But for me, it was not that. For me, it was to survive the day without getting torn apart. All because I didn't manifest a quirk. School was just pain for me.

I took the corner seat in the back to remain out of everyone's sight. I rest my head on the desk trying to get some sleep. Recently my nightmares are getting worse and not letting me sleep at night. The cuts on my wrists are also stinging now. But that pain is much better than what I have to go through every day.

'You can be happy only if you have power'

Recently, these thoughts are roaming in my mind constantly. Is it what I really need? Power to make my life better? Can I achieve it even if I don't have a quirk?

The sound of the door getting slammed occurred. The heavy footsteps start to come closer and closer. The person then stops in front of my desk. I open my eyes and see the person I expected, Kacchan. He grabbed me by my collar and forced me to stand up.

'' Why do you always stumble around me and try to enter my life. No one wants to have a quirkless in their life. You don't even deserve to stay in this school but you still come here in the same class as me for 3 years '' he yells at me. 

He then pushes me and I got slammed into the wall. '' Ha! I don't even need to use my quirk to prove how useless you are DEKU '' he roars as he moves to his seat. Everyone starts to laugh at this show.

Voices start to surround my mind.

' Kill him '

' He don't deserve to have his power '

' You can easily defeat him with a blade '

' Just stab him and all your pain will be gone '

I stood up and took my place. I was trying to calm myself and was surrounded in my thoughts.I was snapped out of it by the sound of the teacher entering the class. He announces something different today.

'' Today a new student will be joining our class. Please be nice to her ''

I didn't had any interest in meeting a new student. They may be nice to me at first but when they will know that I am quirkless, then they will start to treat me like the others. There would be an extra person to laugh at me. I started to scribble in my notebook.

Out of curiosity I took a peek of the new student. My eyes widened seeing her. She was a brown haired girl with slight pink blush on her cheeks. She had the biggest smile I have ever seen on her face. I felt something different seeing her. The voices in my mind disappeared in an instant. I felt hope that things might change with this girl. Maybe, I could have a friend for once. 

'' I am Ochako Uraraka. You can call me Uraraka. I hope I can become friends with all of you '' she introduces herself cheerfully.

 ''Except one '' someone shouts. This brought me back from my hopeless dream to the harsh reality. Everyone was laughing at me like they always do. I tried to ignore all of it and started to scribble in my book again. She looks towards me confused. The voices again start to repeat inside my mind. After all the introductions she settles down in the empty seat next to me. She tries to start a conversation with me but I just ignore her. She gave up when the teacher started the class.

Ochako's POV:-

Lunch Break:-

I was playing with my new friends when I see the green haired boy sitting alone under the tree. No one seems to talk to him. In the morning too, I tried to talk to him but he just ignored me. Maybe I can talk with him now. I walked towards him but my friends stopped me. They warned me that he is quirkless so I shouldn't go near him. Even if he is quirkless he is still a lonely boy. So, I continued forward.

Before I could reach him, I saw that a blonde haired boy  at him " Why are you here in the ground during break. You are not worthy to stay here with us you quirkless ".

He then aimed his arm at the boy and released an explosion. The boy got slammed into the tree and didn't move. I watched in horror as everybody just laughed and didn't help the boy. The bell rang and everybody started to move out as if it was not a serious matter. I ran towards him to help him.

When I saw his state, I had tears in my eyes. His whole shirt was destroyed. His chest was burned up. There were also many burn marks on his arms and chest. Blood was dripping down from his left arm. It seemed as if he had to suffer from injuries everyday.

" You are horribly injured. Let me take you to the nurse" I tried to help him standing up but he pushed me away. 

"You don't need to show pity towards me. You are also like them. Showing power to those who don't have it. Just leave me alone" he pushes me and starts to walk away.

I have heard that quirkless people are treated badly by everyone but I didn't know that it was this bad. He had to suffer so much everyday and no one helps him. Instead they mock at him. I have to help him.

I just stood there and I watched him in pain as I realised how quirkless people are treated in this society.

Finally the story has started. So there will be 1 or 2 more chapters before we reach to the point when he meets All Might. But it is important to establish their bond and to transform this midoriya to the deku we all know. Till then.
