Midoriya flinched. Now they reached the question he wished would never come. His story. His quirk. All Might, One for All. Things he couldn't risk any one of his friends to know- not because of the fear of them using it against him, but that the fact that they know even a bit about it can bring disasters over measure to them and people around them. Like he had told his mother, Midoriya had to say the story of 'an unexpected discovery' for his quirk. It took a bit longer than usual for him to open his mouth again-and his blush had disappeared from his face too.
"Me... It's mostly because of All Might. I used to watch the video of the disaster at his debut... I was all into him from when I was young. Really young. So I wanted to become like him. The number one hero, symbol of peace. But I thought I didn't have my quirk because I couldn't do anything when I was four..."
Midoriya gulped. Memories of his entire-mostly, to be correct, but it almost felt like his whole life-as a quirkless person, flashed before him.
"Then I recently figured out about my quirk. Probably at the entrance exam, or days before it.. I applied for UA before I even knew that. I don't know why but... yeah.
"My quirk... this power. I never knew, but people say there are some cases where your quirk comes to life a bit later than others. A bit too late. It's something not really mine, so I've got a long way to go with it."
