Chapter 17 The One Who Escapes

"Forgive me for being blunt, all of you in front of me are garbage."

Accelerator put down the powerless Bakugo Katsuki and looked at the people around him with different expressions and said loudly word by word, but due to the horrifying scene caused by Accelerator just now, no one dared to refute him at this time.

The two followers of Bakugo Katsuki closest to him were all stiff, with incredulous expressions on their faces. Bakugo Katsuki, who had never lost to any peer, was actually knocked down directly without any resistance at a glance.

After seeing such a shocking scene, the hearts of Mizukawa Ran, who is Bakugo Katsuki's childhood friend, and Midoriya Izuku now are like the collapse of faith, simply put, they are scared silly.

In their minds, Bakugo Katsuki might lose to a professional hero, but he would never lose to any peer, let alone being crushed to such a miserable extent. In less than a few dozen seconds, the usually arrogant Bakugo Katsuki was beaten into a pitiful and ragged state.

However, although this scene looks terrifying, in fact, the injuries Bakugo Katsuki suffered under Accelerator's deliberate control are just a few months of bed rest. Accelerator has long understood where the so-called bottom line of this society is, what to pay attention to, and anyway, the evidence was already prepared just now, there are no special big problems.

To put it bluntly, even if the perpetrator is educated, in the current society where the law has not been fully implemented, apart from preventing violence and obtaining evidence, even Accelerator does not have more and better methods.

The issue of punishment intensity is not something he can decide directly without enough say now.

But at least he can do it now, let the perpetrators eat their own evil results reasonably and legally.

Like Bakugo Katsuki, immersed in his own power, he considers himself the top powerhouse of the superhuman society's Quirk, does not respect the weak at all, and even thinks that the weak have no right to resist or realize themselves.

Then Accelerator will definitely not stand by, he will use their unimaginable power, fight violence with violence, press the proud heads of those superior people hard on the dirty ground, let them kiss the earth, tell them what is respect with absolute power, eye for an eye, blood for blood, let them understand what is pain.

"What's wrong? No one in such a big school dares to speak up?"

What really disgusted him and was problematic were the students of this high school of hero volunteers.

"It's really a gathering place for garbage."

Accelerator felt a bit disappointed, although he had understood that even if he changed a world, there would not be a lack of mediocre people who are evil.

If he is an enemy, all these students are normal people's reactions without any problems, but the problem is that these students are basically hero volunteers, then it is a big problem.

But in the end, someone stood up and expressed their thoughts in front of Accelerator, who was like a ghost.

"That..can..can...you first send Kacchan to the infirmary...."

Although the bullied person, Midoriya Izuku, always lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Accelerator, his intermittent words never stopped.

Interesting, on the surface, he looks like a weak and overly kind person, always looking timid.

But, in the face of this situation, he didn't lose courage? Really missed it, this person is different from most people in this school, but there are not many parts that are the same now.

But, Accelerator instinctively felt that this person would be an interesting observation target.

So, Accelerator felt that it was okay to tell him the truth.

"No need."

Before he finished speaking, Midoriya Izuku misunderstood his meaning.

"But......Kacchan he...."

"The meaning is that before this thing happened, the ambulance has been called in advance."

"The whole process is under my control, don't make me stand up together with some low-level scum."

"Ah....I see...sorry."

Hearing Accelerator say this, Midoriya Izuku actually calmed down.

"Do you want to rely on 'sorry' to become a hero?"

Accelerator looked down at Midoriya Izuku and asked.

"No...I just simply want to become a hero, is that okay?"

When he mentioned his dream, the person he was facing gradually softened his tone. When Midoriya Izuku said the word "hero", his eyes were about to shine.

"Of course, it's possible."

After recalling everything he had seen before and analyzing this person's pattern of action, Accelerator found this expression interesting and couldn't help but laugh.

"But this still can't change the fact that you are trash now."

"Looking up at the sky is a good thing, but it must be based on being grounded."

"...Huh?!"

Midoriya Izuku was flabbergasted by Accelerator's change in attitude.

"Because you also didn't protect what is most precious to you, right?"

"Whether it's the notebook that represents your dreams, or your own dignity."

"You, obviously, are running away, aren't you?"

"Before wanting to become a hero, you have to make some changes to yourself first."

"At least don't run away, don't be content with being trash."

"Even the smart trash that I educated and fell to the ground, his physique is several times stronger than yours, just physical fitness and stamina surpass you a lot, this has nothing to do with talent, and has nothing to do with Quirk, it's just related to personal effort."

"I don't like his smart behavior, I stop his bullying evil deeds, and I despise his trash character that doesn't respect other people's personality at all."

"But I also don't agree with you, because you are also trash now."

"And the group of people behind you who represent the public are exactly the same, they are all trash without exception."

After Accelerator finished speaking, he saw what he wanted to see on Midoriya Izuku's face.

That is a complex expression mixed with humiliation and regret after thinking, and deep-seated inferiority and late-coming anger.

Not far away on the ground, the notebook that was torn to shreds by Bakugo Katsuki was lying there quietly, as if it had been abandoned. Since Midoriya Izuku was four years old, the invisible wall that could not be seen or broken, named "Quirk", has always been between Midoriya Izuku and anyone else.

When he truly realized the true nature of this emotion, Midoriya Izuku first felt a shock, and then... what came to him was a storm-like "regret" and "shame".

What he regretted was his own "escape".

What he was ashamed of was also his own "escape".

In this society where 90% are superpower users (Quirk holders), the concept that without Quirk equals not being able to become a hero has penetrated everyone's heart. Midoriya Izuku is in such a society where he has been invisibly labeled with a label that can never be torn off no matter what.

"Quirkless"

Even Midoriya Izuku's mother holds a negative attitude towards his dream, so what she said to him at that time was (I'm sorry, Izuku. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.) From that time on, he must have thought in his heart that he could not become a hero, and even in his life for more than a decade, this thought hidden deep in his heart has also grown up.

That's why his physical ability is far weaker than Bakugo Katsuki, because in fact, he ran away.

At some point, he had already judged his future, so how could he exercise his body?

Escape is shameful, but useful, don't think that a person can be strong to what extent, this is the mentality of mortals, this is normal, no one can always do impossible dreams.

In the final analysis, those notes that Bakugo Katsuki thought were "boring" that he did, and the hard study for so many years, and the reason for this farce, still want to apply for U.A. high school, can only be said because U.A. high school does not have Quirk can not enroll in the regulations just changed this year, at the same time he also simply not completely want to give up his dream, even if it is to try it is good, can be said to be holding a fluke mentality.

He ran away at some point many years ago, so his current state of mind should be that he still doesn't want to completely give up his dream, and he is working hard in a way that avoids the heavy and takes the light, neither completely giving up hope nor having the ability to take substantive action, after all, that is his biggest pursuit and dream since he was born, like a dreamer who drowns himself in fantasy, playing alone in fantasy.

This is the regret that Midoriya Izuku realized after escaping.

At that time, what Midoriya Izuku truly hoped for from his mother's answer was (you can definitely become a hero).

This can be said to be Midoriya Izuku's inner conflict. At that time, even the closest people could not affirm him. That was the shadow deep in his heart, the endless despair that he could not get around when he was young, and that despair is still haunting him to this day.

He always thought that he did not escape, he overly told himself not to care, he was actually caring a lot, this is also what he realized how shameful his own evasion and usual words and deeds were.

That is, the shame that he did not try his best.

What role is he playing in this farce, what has he really lost, it must not be just an important notebook, but he escaped from responsibility, he can't even protect his most cherished things, and still talk about becoming a hero? How did the past self not understand, Midoriya Izuku.

Accelerator has been mingling in the evil of Academy City for many years, and has seen all kinds of people. People always have excuses to separate themselves to escape. In fact, he used to be like that.

He has also escaped before.

So he hopes that the teenager who dares to face him in front of him will not evade anymore and face his own soul.

In the past, this is something he would never think about anyway.

But even he has changed in the end.
