Hello everyone, sorry this not an update because I have state testings tomorrow, but I wanted to show you all my newest book, "Linnorm" An MHA x non-binary reader!

If you do enjoy this first chapter, I hope you can check out the new book! :D

A True Hero

'Why is it always stinging?' F/n thought as they sat inside a dirty blue bathroom stall, they were trying to numb the pain they felt whenever they summoned their quirk. It was hopeless, every time they released them, a fiery pain intoxicated their brain. As they sit on the toilet, their bicep glowed bright red. F/n's tear ducts flaming up from the held-up tears.

Just as they were about to leave the bathroom, some students outside were conversing with each other, but not even discreetly. Their conversation had piqued f/n's interest.

"Oh, you know that 3rd year in that quirkless guy's class, their name is l/n, right? They think they're so cool because they don't show off their quirk and their mother and aunt are both pros!" A red-head girl commented as she fixed her hair trying to make herself look good in the compact mirror rather than looking at her friend.

"I know right?" Her friend agreed, "They're such an attention hogger! A few days ago some news reporters were talking to me about the incline of villains, and that all completely dropped as soon as that little brat walked out of the school! They walked over me like dirt and wanted to interview them!"

This was an ongoing problem for f/n, they've grown accustomed to the relentless taunts thrown at them, but now it has become the new normal for people to be unnecessarily rude at them.

They usually ignore the ugly comments and today was no different. Opening the door, they exited the bathroom surprising the two females, they walked right past the gossiping girls and headed back to the classroom leaving two stunned females in her wake.

It was the end of lunch and the students were all making their way to their next class, some messing around with friends, others on their own.

"Alright, class as you know you are all 3rd years now, your last year of junior high," The teacher lectured once the bell made its final warning to get to class, "I see that most of you are wanting to apply for the hero course in high school, but please add your back up schools just in case," Aloud cheers shook the class as students began to use their flashy quirks.

"We all know none of these extra's are going to pass the test!" A loud voice yelled.

"Oh, that's right. Bakugou, you applied to UA." The teacher sighed.

"UA! Their acceptance rate is super low this year!"

"You really think you can get accepted there Bakugou?"

Bakugou jumped onto his desk, causing the legs of his chair to scrape across the floor.

"Obviously! The only person from this shitty school who can get into UA is me! I'll be the number one hero!" Bakugou declared, pointing his thumbs towards him.

"Oh? Midoriya you also applied to UA?" The teacher was indeed surprised that Izuku Midoriya was applying to such a prestigious hero school.

"Midoriya! He doesn't even have a quirk! He'll probably die at the practical exams!" The class chattered mockingly, their laughter overpowering their teacher's voice.

"Quirkless people probably can't even apply at UA!" A student howled.

"T-that's not true! They got rid of that rule a long time ago!" Midoriya stammered, the student's eyes only made him more nervous.

"Hah?! Do you think you can compete with me Deku? I'll crush you if you even think about entering there!" Bakugou threatened.

"It doesn't hurt to at least try Kachaan!" Midoriya whimpered.

"Try?! Are you just doing this for fun? I'LL DESTROY YOU!" Bakugou yelled.

"Ok class, calm down, let's not forget to congratulate L/n for getting a recommendation from UA!" Their teacher added. Though instead of a loud roar, small mumbles could be heard among the students.

"They probably just asked their aunt or mom to let them in,"

"They don't even use her quirk, why bother becoming a hero,"

"They had a quirk?"

"I would probably do better than a person like her!"

"Wow congratulations l/n-san," The green-haired boy commented, giving off a genuine smile.

"Hm? Oh, thank you Midoriya. Good luck with the practical exam," They responded, setting their head on the desk muffling all the voices out until the bell announced that it was time to head home.

Soon enough the bell rang, causing most of the students to group up and head towards their afternoon clubs. But of course, there are those who head straight home, f/n being one of them.

Reaching for the handle of the door they stepped out of the room, their inside shoes clicking on the floor. Even though they were on the other side of the hall they could still hear the loud shouting coming from her classroom. 'Poor Midoriya," They frowned.

'Remember what I told you f/n, don't get into unnecessary trouble.'

'But what if it's for a friend?'

'Friends, they aren't forever.' Those words from her mother reappeared into their head as they didn't even think about stepping in.

"Why would she want me to be a hero when she doesn't even want me to help others?" F/n murmured.

Currently, their mother was in the United States, she was a pro-hero mostly in New York and California, where most of the major cities are. They hadn't seen her in almost years, hopefully, she comes home soon.

"Just take a swan dive off the roof and hope for a quirk in your next life!" A raspy voice shouted from above.

L/n flinched, the voice cutting off their thoughts. It was Bakugou again, but this time a notebook fell from the second floor. Their instincts immediately reacted, their fingers grazing the pages.

The book fell on the floor as they attempted to catch it, in other circumstances they would have caught it, however, Bakugou's voice caught them by surprise. They picked the notebook up and swiped off the dirt, placing it by the pond next to them.

'Who would say that, give me a break, number one hero?' F/n scoffed and continued to walk home. A true hero doesn't do good deeds for praise.
