Arrogance

Summary:

Midoriya Izuku always saw the ones around him as arrogant, never seeing what they didn't want to see. He saw himself as different because he saw what others didn't. That made it near impossible for him to make firends so instead he spends his time thinking about different theories and possibilities wich leaving him wondering what makes a hero and villian different

Or: Just really smart loner Izuku

Notes:

Please leave comments for improvement, this is my first fic (kinda I do have one orphan account work from a few months ago)

The first chapters going to be pretty short, sorry

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter Text

I've always known I was smart. I saw the others around me as arrogant from a young age. It seemed like they never really saw the world around them, always stuck in their own fantasy. To me it seemed as if I was the only one really seeing the world.

The teachers never seemed to care much after learning I was quirkless, they even accused me of cheating on tests I did too well on. After the third teacher accused me of cheating I learned to make myself seem dumber, soon after I learned to do the same with Kachan.

Kachan always loved being seen as better than everyone else, he was also one of the few if not only to realize my difference made me better then all of our peers. He even thought I was better than him which made him think I was challenging him or something. He was arrogant.

While the scars left on my pale skin hurt, I knew their words seriously because in the end they were just kids taught wrong. Though I shouldn't be talking with my absent father and workaholic mother.

I never had many friends so all my time was spent on studying and creating my own theory, I once posted one of my theories on a a random hero website with a burner account about how if people were to study a person with a quirk suppressant quirk like underground hero Eraserhead then hypothetically they could make a weapon to fully remove a person's quirk or at least create hero support gear that lets a hero cancel a villains quirk from far away. I knew it could also be used to cancel a hero's quirk but to be honest I no longer cared about the terms ‘hero’ and ‘villain’ because in the end around 90% of heros break the law anyway.

My post was only up for a few hours before being taken down and my burner account being banned because I was talking about an underground hero that wasn't allowed on the site. Luckily it was a Friday because for the next two days someone was trying to hack into my phone most likely trying to find out how I knew about the underground hero.

I nver cared for any of that though because in the end I was left with nothing but myself, meaning that in the end the only thing I have ever cared for was myself. I know that may sound arrogant but if you werw around people as dumd as the people around me I think you would feel the same. To me they were like pawns to a game I wasn't playing, a game I wasn't interested in. Kachans game.
