19. A little bit

                                    

                                          
Surprisingly enough, everyone managed to pass the written test. Even Kaminari, which was unexpected.
But it's time to get serious. Today we have to take the practical test.
Class 1A look around in shock. All of the teachers are infront of us.
"Due to concerns about using the robots from the exams, we have decided that you will go up against us!" Nezu announced. "There are two ways that you can win. Either defeat the hero, or escape to the finish line!"
I subconsciously grab Eijiro's hand in mine. He squeezes my hand reassuringly as he whispers, "Don't ever be afraid." 
I nod lightly. "Um.. But theres 21 students.."
"So glad that you brought that up!" Nezu said. "We've decided to give you a more difficult challenge. Your battle will be first.. Against three heroes."
My green eyes widen, but i force my voice to remain steady as i take a step forward. "Which heroes?"
Aizawa steps forward, along with All Might and followed by my father. "You had better get ready kid." Aizawa grumbles.
"Don't forget that we will be acting as villains in this situation." All Might reminds me.
"And we won't hold back." Hizashi states.
                          
I hide amongst the shadows of a fake city. In order to win, i have to think of a strategy. They might assume that i will run to the exit. I'm not going to risk it. Okay.. They have powerful quirks but also loopholes and drawbacks that i can use to my advantage.
If Aizawa can't see me, he can't erase my quirk. So if i run into him, my best bet is to find a way to make sure he can't see me.
All Might has a time limit of only an hour, so i have to finish this quickly. His stomach is his weak point.
My father however.. His quirk is versatile. But it's useless if i travel underground. If all three rush me, i'll act on shere instinct and that could be risky.
I touch the ground beneath me and feel for vibrations.
"Found you." Aizawa grunts behind me with a crazy grin.
"Sand storm!" i shout in a panic. Sand spirals around us virtually blinding both the hero and i.
He grasps his face and shouts out in pain. In the moment of confusion i stick capture tape on his arm.
Suddenly the sand is blown away by a strong gust of wind. "My fellow villain! I'll avenge you!" All Might shouts as he approaches. He runs towards me and i swing my leg around aiming for his legs. My kick never makes contact but i feel myself being thrown off to the side. I pull myself off the ground as he shouts, "Delaware Smash!"
I stand my ground as best as i can but i feel my bones crunch under his blow.
He looks at me shocked as i straighten my back. "How did you manage to handle that attack with no problem..?!"
"Y..you're gonna have to do better than that... You pathetic excuse for a villain." i hiss.
He lunges towards me again, but i use his arm as leverage to jump over him. 
I spin on my heal and flee from the alley. Suddenly i hear a loud scream and i go flying.
My body bounces as i am thrown into a building. I skid to a halt and fall to my knees.
"Pathetic hero!" Hizashi shouts at me again with his quirk activated. "You can't seriously think about being a hero with problems like you have, Nine."
I press my forehead to the ground and cover my ears and scream, "Voice!!! Shut up!! Shut up!!!!! SHUT-!!!!!!"
Under the pressure and the shocking amount of sonic waves, the foundation of the building around me collapses around me.
As the heavy materials crash down on top of me, i don't even try to escape. Hizashi has a point. How can i even think about being a hero? I'm just an experiment. I'm not even human. 
I close my eyes and shutter as i breathe in the dust.
There's no reason for me to even try to escape. I can't win.. I'm broken. I can't move anymore. 
It was a ridiculous idea to even bother with being a hero anyways. Just the meaningless thoughts of an artificial teenager who is better off dead.
But... What about Kiri..? He believes in me.. I have to win this for him.
"T...Teleportation.." i whisper with a cracked voice.
"Yamada passed the exam!" Midnight shouts over the intercom.
I stare up at the sky with a sad expression as tears roll down my face. What a disgusting shade of blue.
I clench my eyes shut. I've lost my will to go on. Why should i even bother.. Hizashi tried to use my past against me. I choke back a sob. One of the only people i could trust... He hurt me.. Physical wounds can heal.. But never mental.
"(Y/n)..!" Hizashi shouts as he rushes over to my side. "I'm so sorry.."
"You played the villain part well." i hiss in annoyance. "It really made me realize something." i force myself to stand, "thank you for reminding me that I'm not even a human." he reaches up towards me. "I'm done here."
I ignore his shouts as i walk away with my head held high. I walk until i can no longer hear him. I look around the forest i'm in before sitting down in the lush grass.
                          
Nine.
                          
I look around in confusion.
                          
You're still weak.
                          
"Bullshit." i hiss.
                          
You couldn't even handle one attack!
                          
"Go away." i mumble.
                          
It's pathetic.
                          
I turn to face a young girl with a shaved head. Her green eyes are wild and a red mist pools around her feet. She is in a ragged hospital gown stained with blood.
                          
You're weak. How did an experiment like you even make it this far? You were a failed test! She yells at me.
                          
"I already know. Thanks for reminding me." i say sarcastically.
                          
You never should've left the factory.
                          
"I know. Going out to the real world like this.. Just a fantasy of a girl who should've died in that factory." i hug my knees close to my chest.
                          
Something like you isn't meant to be around, let alone running tbe streets playing hero. You're nothing.
                          
I clench my teeth.
                          
You shouldn't even bother healing yourself. You could die out here, and no one would care. She noticed that she struck a nerve, so she continued. You're better suited for villainy anyways. Give up those stupid dreams of hope and grandeur, Nine. Just be the killer you're supposed to be.
                          
I close my eyes and fall back to the ground. Maybe i'll stay dead this time..






                          
I wake up the next morning in a hospital bed. To my left, Hizashi is nervously pacing. In a chair to my right, Kirishima is crying as he holds onto my hand.
I slowly sit up.
"(Y/n)!" Eijiro shouts as he wipes away his tears.
"Who brought me here." i demand.
Eijiro looks taken aback by my tone and Hizashi mumbles quietly, "..i did."
I throw myself at him and proceed to hit him with a closed fist. "You bastard! Why didn't you just leave me there?!"
I'm pulled off of him and my arms are held tightly to my sides. "(Y/n)! Calm down!"
"Calm down?! Are you kidding me?! Let me go!" i shout angrily.
Hizashi sits up and wipes the blood from his chin away with his sleeve. "You're my daughter. I couldn't let you die out there."
"Its not like i'm your real kid anyways! You should've just left me to die out there!" i shout as sobs wrack my body. "I'm not even a person... So why should you even care..?"
The hospital falls silent. "..you're my daughter." Hizashi finally said. "It doesn't matter where you came from, or who you are. You're my kid, Dammit." he steps towards me, "i pushed you too far.. I'm sorry (y/n).."
I push myself away from Eijiro and hug Hizashi in silence.
"I have you.." He whispers in a soothing tone. 
Do you..? I cry into my Father's chest. I just... I want to go home. Today was overwhelming.. And something tells me that its only going to get worse from here.
