Aizawa:...Do you know the relationship between Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo?
Mikoto froze for what felt like the third time this week.
He sighs. He should've known this was coming sooner or later. But he wanted to know why would they ask him instead of Izuku himself?
Aizawa: As for what occured the past few days. We need to know...since we're concerned of Bakugo's attitude towards Midoriya.
Mikoto pondered at that. They didn't looked concerned especially Erasherhead...but okay...
Mikoto: Alright...I'll tell you...But...Why ask me...Why not someone else...?
Aizawa: We were going to ask his mother but decided to ask someone who knew him within the school and it turns out. You know him and Bakugo before U.A.
Mikoto: H-How did you know that?!
Nedzu: Well first... Midoriya mentioned you once. And second, Yukimura-kun. I have eyes everywhere all over the hero society.
Mikoto:....Okay...I'll tell you...their relationship.
Nedzu: Take your time son. Start from the top.
Mikoto took a deep breath and explained everything he knew.
Mikoto: I only known Izuku and Bakugo during middle school. But according to Izuku...He...well...He and Bakugo used to be friends during childhood...until Bakugo got his quirk...and Izuku...did not...
Nedzu raised an eyebrow at this. So... Midoriya was quirkless before U.A. That explains a lot.
Aizawa was confused. He couldn't believe the Problem Child was quirkless. He thought he had a quirk that was almost like All-Might's...Unless...
Mikoto: When he turned four, he was announced quirkless...and that was the end of their friendship...sometime later...Bakugo begin to bully him...
Aizawa's eyes went wide in shock before quickly hiding it with his emotionless stare.
Mikoto:...He always called him Deku...
Aizawa frowned at the name. He did remember the boy shouting it towards Midoriya.
Aizawa: Doesn't that mean 'useless'?
Mikoto: Yes...But why are you asking me all these questions?
Nedzu: (Sighs) You see... Yesterday...Class 1-A had an mock exam with All-Might teaching the class and well...He kind of paired up a hero v.s villain theme. With Midoriya being the hero and Bakugo being the villain...
Mikoto:......What happened?
Aizawa: Well....
-Flashback-
Bakugo: DEKU! YOU WERE LYING! THIS WHOLE TIME! WEREN'T YOU?! SO YOU WEREN'T QUIRKLESS AFTER ALL THIS! YOU WERE LOOKING DOWN ON ME!!! ANSWER ME!
Deku: YOU'RE WRONG! I spent the entire time...the entire time we were kids... Looking up to you! I wanted to be like you, Kacchan! But I'm not the same person I was back then! I'm not the Deku who is worthless! I'm the Deku that's going to do his best! I'M GOING TO BE A HERO!
This made Bakugo explode in rage once again!
Bakugo: LIKE HELL YOU ARE! You've always been a bug! A useless little, STUPID DEKU! AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET IT!
Bakugo points his gauntlets at Izuku who looks at him in horror.
Bakugo: Saw you looking at my gauntlets before the teams were decided.
His face twisting into a malicious grin.
Bakugo: Wanna see what they're for, Deku?!
Deku: (Oh no...)
The Explosion Quirk user aimed his gauntlet at Izuku. All Might seemed to realize the intent of Bakugo.
All Might: Young Bakugo, don't do it!You'll kill him.
Bakugo: HE WON'T DIE IF HE DODGES!
Bakugo pulled the pin on his gauntlet. Doing so, led to a large explosion inside the building engulfing Izuku in it. The explosion was so large even the monitoring room shook violently.
Deku: AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!
-End Flashback-
A cold chill surrounded the principal's room.
Mikoto clenched the chair in rage.
Mikoto: W-What happen...? Is Izuku alright?! Please tell me he's alright!!!
Nedzu: Calm down Yukimura-san...He's fine...He was sent to recovery girl after somehow managing to get out of that attack with multiple bruises and burns. So luckily, he survived...
Mikoto sighs in relief...that was good but...
Mikoto: But still! He could've died! Bakugo could've killed him!!!
Honestly, what was Bakugo thinking?!!!
Aizawa: That's why we are pressing serious matters in this conversation about Bakugo. Honestly, we can't have this type of behavior at U.A
Mikoto nodded as Nedzu asked another question.
Nedzu: But why did Bakugo-kun bullied Midoriya-kun?
Mikoto went grim for a second before looking up at the rodent.
Mikoto: I think you already should know. Because of Izuku's quirkless status...and his will to become a hero. Bakugo didn't want him to become a hero. Everyone told him he could never become a hero. So after school. Bakugo and his lackeys would beat him up after school and tell him he can never become a hero.
Aizawa:....Did they used their quirks on him....? We got some evidence from Recovery Girl stating the scars he has were no way from his own quirk. There were burns on his body as well.
Mikoto:......Yes. I'm afraid so...after that they would tell him to give up being a hero or they'll bullied him more...also recently I have learned that Bakugo...told him...
Nedzu: Yukimura-kun?
Aizawa: If it's too much for you to tell. Then don't worry about it.
Mikoto: N-No! I...
Mikoto looked to see fresh tears falling from his face. His tears turned into particles of snowflakes and watched them fall.
Mikoto: He said...no...he told Izuku...That if he wanted to be a hero...He should take a swan dive off the roof and kill himself...so he can get a quirk in the next life...So now you know...Izuku has been a victim of bullying and abuse all his life...
Nedzu: Oh my...
Aizawa:...
Mikoto: (Izuku...how long have you been suffering after all this time...?)
-Flashback-
Child Izuku: *Broken* Can I...Can I still be a hero just like All-Might...even without a quirk?*
"It's best you just give up!"
"You can't be a hero without a quirk!"
"I'm so sorry Izuku! I'm so sorry!"
"So annoying!"
"Idiot!"
"Wannabe!"
"Weakling!"
"What the hell can you do? You're Quirkless!"
"Stop acting like you're a hero!"
"You need to be more realistic..."
"Quirkless Freak!"
"You're just a Deku!"
"Crybaby!"
"Worthless!"
"You deserve to die."
"If you want a quirk so damn badly, just throw yourself off the fucking roof and hope you get one in the next life!"
"JUST DIE ALREADY!!!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
-End Flashback-
Now Aizawa Shouta was furious. So Midoriya was abused and mistreated by his peers for years and no one besides Yukimura did a damn thing about it? All because of him being quirkless? Next time he deal with Bakugo, he was going to have words. Also did Bakugo really just suicide-baited Midoriya?! He'll have to talk to Midoriya later as well to confirm this.
Aizawa: (This society All Might made is more fucked up than it already is... It's bad enough people are judged by their quirk. But you get judged even more for being quirkless?! What is wrong with these people?!)
He cannot just stand by and let this happen again. Bakugo was going to face serious consequences.
Nedzu: So no one was particularly concerned about Bakugo's behavior....Why didn't Midoriya-kun tell anyone?
Mikoto almost freeze the entire room but tried his best to remain calm as possible though he was trouble with that.
Mikoto: Because everyone he tried to tell would either turn a blind eye or laugh at him...Sometimes at our old middle school. Most of the kids would either laugh or bully him too. Heck, even the teachers as well. So he kept to himself because he believes none of it really matter. He wouldn't tell a soul even if you asked....
This made Aizawa's blood boil. How dare they? How could the teachers do that a child. Their job is to teach and support students. Not encourage bullying.
Aizawa: And this middle school is called...?
Mikoto: Aldera Junior High...It was mine and Izuku's old school. We were different classrooms from each other.
The underground hero looked at the principal.
Aizawa: (I'm going to do an investigation on that school. They should be sued.)
Nedzu nodded before looking back at Mikoto.
Nedzu: What about his parents? Or Bakugo's parents. Are they all aware of this? Surely they should at least know what's going on with the relationship their sons due to them knowing each other since childhood.
Mikoto:....I'm not fully acquainted with Bakugo's parents. But... Izuku's Mom...Auntie Inko...sometimes she would ask Izuku how is he doing at school...He would lie to her and tell her he's fine...When we know he's not...He comes home with burns, scapes, and bruises. Bakugo forced him into submission to make sure he won't tell no one so it won't ruin his chances here at U.A. She would ask me sometimes but Izuku told me it's for the best I don't tell her because he didn't want her to worry...
Nedzu: What about his father...?
Mikoto:...I've never met the man...I think Auntie Inko mentioned he's overseas...I don't even know his relationship with Izuku...because my best friend never even talks about his father.
Aizawa: (Even if he says that. It's a possible chance the man abandoned his son when he found out he was quirkless...but I shouldn't jumped to conclusions just yet.)
Nedzu: I see....(I might need to make some phone calls then...)
Aizawa: So why did Bakugo ignored All-Might's warnings if he looks up to him.
Mikoto: Tch. Please.
Bakugou…he’s the type of person to ignore the warnings. Even if it is All-Might. The teachers back in middle school. Never did anything about it. They were either scared of him or let him have his way to fuel his ego. That’s why I think he won’t listen to you even if you forbid him from going near my best friend. And I know that you can’t keep an eye on him at all time. He'll try something. You better believe it.
Aizawa felt sick to his stomach. Oh he was so definitely going to investigate that school and give them a piece of his mind.
Aizawa: Well we're going to make sure this doesn't happen again. He won't go unpunished.
Mikoto: Okay...BTW. What did you do with him yesterday? Bakugo I mean?
Aizawa: We send him home for the day. Right now, he has detention.
Nedzu: We are also thinking of signing him up for therapy.
Mikoto scoffed.
Mikoto: You should expell him. Or at least charged him with attempt murder...
Nedzu: That was the idea...But Midoriya-kun didn't allow it.
Mikoto smile sadly. That was just how Izuku was. Even if Bakugo deserves expulsion, Izuku would probably stop it because he didn't want to ruin Kacchan's chances at being a hero because of him. Izuku...was too nice for his own good...
Aizawa: But if he tries something like that again...Then we'll take it to consideration.
Mikoto: Okay sir...
Nedzu: Before we excuse you. What do you think of Bakugo...? In your opinion.
Mikoto:....
-Flashback-
Deku: Yukimura-kun!
Mikoto: Hey Izuku! You know...You don't have to keep calling me Yukimura-kun. Sounds kind of long...
Deku: Hmmm...I know! How about I call you Miichan then! I-I mean if you don't like it! I c-can come up with something else!
Mikoto:....Miichan...Hmmm...I like it!
Deku smiled while Mikoto stared at it. It was so precious. He'll do anything to protect that smile!
Mikoto: For now on Izuku. Just call me Miichan~!
Deku: Okay~!
-End Flashback-
Mikoto: Bakugo...that guy is a jerk and deserves to be kicked out of U.A...He may have a strong quirk but he also has the personality of raw sewage. He believes being a hero is all about winning. All I know is...Unless you find ways to improve his attitude. He'll never change. He'll continue to think he's number one and that he's better than everyone. He thinks they're nothing but extras and stepping stones. He would even harm others to get his way since no one stopped him before....
Nedzu:.....
Aizawa:....
Mikoto: Now I'm going to make this clear. Izuku may think Bakugo has potential to become a great hero...
BUT I DON'T....
