2 Chapter 2 : Hero Path

(MC POV)

Its been 14 years since I came to this world, and I would be lying if I said that I wasn't waiting for some kind of system to activate, some kind of golden finger to suddenly appear. 

But long ago I lost all hope, and now here it was, in front of me. This darn system stops time and places three choices in front of me. 

Hero Path.

Villain Path.

And plain old Boring Life.

What is this even supposed to mean, I don't have any powers. How I am supposed to be a hero?

So I waited, thinking about my choice, the system too seems to completely pause time. Nothing was happening. This was such a good situation to pull some pranks on others. Shame I was frozen as well. Only my mind was working.

"Guess this is the time when a hero is supposed to take the leaf of faith." I sigh and choose the Hero Path.

I always wanted to be a Hero when I was small. So why not, giving it one more chance to achieve what I wanted doesn't sound bad. Much better than again living a boring life and dying without knowing why or how I died.

[Ding, System Activated. Hero Path Choosen]

[World MHA]

[Power System: Quirks]

[Host can copy 1 quirk from any hero of host choosing.]

[Does the host choose to copy the quirk now ?] 

The system message came in and I was stunned. So I can get a quirk. Awesome. 

COPY... huh. 

"Oh I know who I want to copy," I mutter slowly as I look at the skinny blonde middle-aged man standing a little away from me.

"I wish to copy a quirk now," 

(POV END)

Izuku saw his friend getting devoured by the mud monster, he knew that this was because of him that Bakugo was in danger. If he didn't stop All Might back then, then this wouldn't have happened.

Izuku grim, he wanted to help but his reality came down crashing onto him. But he wanted to do something, he wanted to help. He...he wanted to be a hero, even after All Might said that he couldn't be a hero.

But he...He wanted to be a Hero. 

So it happened, something which only a true hero ever experiences in their life, their legs start to move on their own to save a person in need. 

"Hey kid, stop. That's dangerous," Someone shouted, maybe a hero but Izuku didn't care at all. It was like his body was working on its own.

'Think think, hero guidebook rule 23....

While this was happening, Yuta on the side got a notification.

[Acquire One For All.]

[Current time limit 1 Second]

[Host can use OFA for 1 second in a day. This limit can be increased by completing daily tasks and Quests] 

'Huh...?'

'What the hell, one second. What I am supposed to accomplish in one second.' Yuta gritted his teeth but still was happy. Even one second of OFA was enough. It can take down most dangers as long as his attack connects. Maybe he might break an arm or something like Midoriya does in the anime but still.

[Ding, Mission Alert.]

[Save Bakugo from the mud monster. Awards 1 minute of OFA usage per day.]

Yuta was about to complain more but after seeing this he shut up. He thought that he would get OFA right from the get-go but maybe that was just his wishful thinking.

But again whatever, he can increase his time with OFA so it doesn't matter. 

"What I am doing, I don't have time to waste here, I need to save that assho*le before All Might makes his move." Yuta almost stumbled as he too ran after Midoriya.

The heroes around were so stunned that Midoriya ran at the mud monster to see another boy with black eyes and black hair, a completely normal-looking boy with above above-average build running behind the green-haired boy.

"Hey stop, not you too," Shouted a hero. 

All Might who was watching this also got tense, he knew that Izuku Midoriya dont have any quirk and yet the boy rushed to save his friend. And there was another child running behind him. 

Clenching his fist, he gritted his teeth. 

Izuku took out his bag and threw it at the mud monster, making the sharp corner of the school bag hit exactly at the monster's eyes. But there this success level ended, Izuku had no other way right now in his disposal to actually save Bakugo.

Crying but still trying to get his friend out of the mud monster, he gave his all but to no avail.

But at that time he heard. "MOVE,".

Looking back he saw a boy of around his age, with black eyes and black hair appearing suddenly beside him. But unlike him, the boy had clearly defined muscles and looked very athletic.

'Shit how do I even activate this quirk.' Yuta panic. This was his first time using the quirk so he had no idea how. Secondly, he just can't punch at the monster, he can't control his strength right now. 

He at best gonna break his own hand or worse going to kill himself with Bakugo here. 

'No don't punch, I just need to save Bakugo. Just hold him and use the one second to drag the boy out of the mud. That's it. Yes, that should do it,' he quickly made a plan of action and went for the monster. 

Only half of Bakugo's face was visible, and a little bit of his arm after Izuku's bag hit his eyes. That was enough for Yuta though. Grasping that extended arm, he drags with all his might. And it worked, he felt power like none other rushing inside him. He tried not to harm Bakugo as much as possible but this was him using this power for the first time and he could only do it for 1 second. 

He clearly didn't have much time to waste. Instead of moving his arms which almost felt like they were gonna explode any time soon, Yuta turned his entire body and used that motion to drag Bakugo out. He also saw others giving him an awestruck look and All Might on the side looking like he was ready to intervene any time.

Yuta who was now holding Bakugo with his right hand, used the same turning motion which he used to to exact Bakugo to swipe his hand near the mud monster. 

'I can't punch but just creating some wind pressure with my hand, like Izuku within the UA festival again Todoroki without breaking his hand, is possible.' 

And he was right, it hurt like a bi*ch but his hand was still intact. And it created enough pressure to make the mud monster back up a little bit. Unfortunately for him, his OFA daily limit was over and now he was again the quirkless kid. 

Both of his hands were hurting like hell but they were at least where not broken. Thinking about it, he just gritted his teeth and extended his left hand towards Izuku who was confused and stunned by his sudden actions and grabbed him. 

"COME ON RUN." Saying this, he pretty much drags both the kids away from the mud monster. Trying to make as much distance as possible. Unfortunately for him, the mud monster recovered faster than they could run away. Well only he and Izuku wanted to run away. Bakugo wanted to blast the shitty mud to eternal hell. 

Just before the monster could reach up to them, they saw a giant appearing between the monster and then. 

This giant was of course All Might.
