After the battle it felt like all of my organs disappeared. I never felt so empty before. All my actions from the beginning of the test to the end replayed in my mind, and I scolded myself for not doing the right things.

I was 99 percent sure I failed this test and I stood with the crowd, my hand on my shoulder as my eyes trailed the board that listed the names of everyone who passed. It also held the names of everyone that was in my class.

Except mine.

I checked the board twice, then thrice before feeling my stomach plummet. My shoulders sagged and I lowered my head, letting a heavy sigh slip from my lips. A hand rested on my shoulder, but I didn't bother looking up.

"(Y/N). (Y/N) look at me." I obeyed and bore my dull eyes into Bakugos. He frowned at my depressed state and pulled me into a bear hug, muttering encouragement in my ear.

"(Y/N)." I heard two more pairs of footsteps approach me, and saw from the corner of my eye Todoroki and Deku. I figured they probably wanted to sympathize with me, but I felt so drained I just wanted to stay in Bakugos comforting arms. I could even feel the eyes of my other classmates on me, but I didn't want to make eye contact. Not now.

I focused on his warmth as he spoke to Deku and Todoroki. "Leave her alone. She needs some time." I shut my eyes and gently pulled away, reassuring Bakugo with a small smile.

My eyes connected with Deku's and Todoroki's, and I smiled again to show them that I was okay. I didn't want to be a burden anymore and make them worry. They looked shocked at my state and stood beside me as flyers containing the analysis on the final round were being passed around. The paper felt heavy in my hand as I scanned the words, the number 36 seemed big and bold compared everything else on the paper. 36 points...

I took a peek on the others, surprised that Bakugo and Todoroki passed by just the skin of their teeth. Bakugo I can understand but Todoroki? I didn't want to think about it any further and just wanted to go back to my dorm but waited as we were all given a speech on how great we can turn out as heroes, which somehow made me feel even worse. There was also information given for those who didn't pass the exam and that another test would soon open up, and I felt a slight comfort in knowing I had a second chance.

Once we were dismissed, Bakugo offered to stay beside me but I declined, letting him know that I wanted to be alone. My dorm room was dark and sad, but I flopped on my bed either way. The curtains were drawn, helping me wallow in the darkness as I tried to get over my failure. My exhaustion decided to send me to sleep, but I wanted to take a walk alone before I could rest my mind.

As I walked down the halls with my hands in my pockets, I nodded at the classmates who gave me a comforting look and continued until I was outside. The slight breeze and smell of the night helped me cope with today, and I kept my feet moving until I was deep in U.A.'s training grounds. Memories of my first weeks here at U.A. flooded in my head, and the first time I met Bakugo, Todoroki, and Deku also appeared in my mind.

I took a deep breath and lifted my chin, staring at the stars in the night sky. "... you got it from All Might, didn't you?" Words flew into my ear, and I rounded a corner before halting in my steps. I pressed my back against the wall, peering around the corner and watching to Bakugo speak to Deku.

"What All Might said after he beat the boss villain, you were the only one who took it differently. The Nomu scum had multiple Quirks, it seems pretty credible. That boss villain had a Quirk that allowed him to steal and use other people's Quirks, so it all connected to what you said about receiving your Quirk from someone." I figured they were discussing Deku's Quirk, and I peaked my interest on the subject.

Bakugo continued and I listened further. "I asked All Might about it, and he avoided the question. So I'll ask you." He paused as Deku seemed lost in thought. "Since your not denying it, it's true. Damn it..."

By what Bakugo was saying, I pieces together the missing information and came to the shocking conclusion that Deku is connected to All Might and somehow received that power from him. Deku finally spoke.

"Now that you know the answer, what will you do?" He had his fists balled at his side. I never seen him look so serious, and I felt nervous about Bakugos response.

"You and I both want to be like All Might, and someone I'd always thought was just a pebble was acknowledged by the person I admired." He paused before lifting his hand. "Let's fight. Right here, right now."

Oh man I'm giving up on this book ('∀｀*) but! I am determined to finish it and move on to my other books because they all have developed and well thought out plots unlike this one. ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ

I'm estimating around 20-30 more chapters and this book will be completed. Hopefully. I actually have no clue, and Todoroki and Deku haven't even confessed yet! Argh! But that's okay! Because it's all for the nonexistent plot...!

Sorry for my rambling...

Also, if you guys have read this far on my book, bless your soul for bearing through all of this nonsense and confusion. I promise the ending will be amazing, so stay with me and bear through this book!
