Break (All Might x Reader)

Chapter 4 - Practice

"This is your first time joining the class in hero activities, be sure that you're under control and keep those gloves on." He warned, more like, threatened. With a curt nod, y/n listened to his orders. It was important to note that the homeroom teacher was fine with every other student, mostly because they actually cared. To him, it was the biggest inconvenience to deal with her. Of course, it was just his luck that the student with the most dangerous quirk was also the most rebellious one...

"Sure thing." Y/N sighed, not making eye contact as she wandered towards her classmates, leaving a dissaproving teacher behind her. He was way too strict, and ever since he had realised what kind of person y/n was, he decided to make her school life hell. Admittedly, he made y/n nervous, as he seemed like a genuine threat although she had nothing to lose.

"Are you okay?" The concerned voice of Ganto reached her ears first, making her fake a smile to reassure him.

"I'm fine." She weakly attempted to convince, tugging at the edges of her gloves to pull them up higher.

"Hey y/n! You should check this out! It's so cool!" All Might's voice stood out among anyone else's. He reached his hand in the air, waving so that she could pin-point where he was. Surrounded by other students, he was quickly the most popular kid in class. He had such a cool quirk that friendships came fast and crushes overtook many, leaving him a shining star that everyone wanted to spend time with. But when he called out her name, it was obvious who was the black sheep of the class. Uncomfortably, as if they all had forgotten she was there, they turned to carefully rest their unsettled gazes upon her hesitant frame. With a small grumble she looked off to the side, aiming not to be the centre of attention. Thankfully, their homeroom teacher was quick to command attention once again, giving y/n a sharp glare as he did so. Maybe it was because she was always late, maybe it was because she wasn't as interested as everyone else, but she knew for sure, her homeroom teacher definitely did not like her.

He carefully explained how this brand new arena that had been built was carefully and tediously designed to have every natural element that heroes would possibly come across on a daily basis, and a quick look around showed that it did contain pretty much every area, including oceans and desert, and even going as far as having buildings with indoor areas that would have them caught up. From there, it was a lot of talking about each area, the conditions and situations they may have to deal with and such, before being put into actual situations in spars against each other. As the trip came to a close, there was a short break allowed before they would be taking the bus back to UA, and then they would be able to head home.

Y/N sat alone, her legs hanging over the edge as water moved below her, imitating waves. Everyone had kept their distance from her, and no one really wanted her as a sparring partner towards the end, except from All Might and Ganto, who had chosen the hero name "Foodie." Y/N hadn't really thought of a hero name for herself, really not intending to be a hero anyway. She couldn't let herself forget that she was here out of force, and the idea of her being a hero with such a destructive quirk was laughable. With a small huff y/n frowned at her gloves, admiring how they looked but at the same time wondering how it felt to actually feel things with her hands without them crumbling into pieces. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to at least learn to control her ability, and get some use out of her forced education.

"Hey! Why don't you join everyone else?" Ganto quickly appeared next to her, ruining the peaceful moment she was just having. Y/N directed a glare in his direction, though it was nowhere near as hostile as it was when she first met him. He was making progress, and y/n was uncomfortable with the fact that for the first time she might actually be making friends...

"They don't want me there, they hate me." She muttered, her eyes finding the water once more as she wrapped her arms around herself.

"Come on, that's not true. They're just scared of your quirk." He replied, trying his best to help her understand and possibly gain more confidence.
