Diary entries from Deku

Entry 1

This is a diary entry based on one of my favorite animes called, “My Hero Academia.”

‍
Dear “Hero” Diary,

Today I decided to wake up early to take a walk around UA. This was because I needed to walk around to explore the other students, their quirks, and most importantly how they use them. Of course, you know I had my notebook to take everything down. Maybe I can somehow use the techniques I have seen today to help advance my quirk. Hey, maybe someday I will be just as good as Kacchan then he’ll accept me…Yeah… OR MAYBE I’LL BE JUST LIKE ALL MIGHT!!! Before that, I need to be able to use my quirk to the best of my ability and that has not been the easiest task. Geez! Time flies! I have to grab bagels for class 1-A. It’s my turn to get breakfast!.

Entry 2

I’m back, it’s the end of a long day and hero training has me completely slumped. I had a hard day, my anxiety is through the roof. What if I don’t make out as a hero? I wonder what has gotten into me.. could it really be what Kacchan said.. is it really bothering me that much… I was just so motivated this morning now I think I should’ve just been a police officer is all of this pointless. “The most amazing hero always wins.. and I am determined to be that no matter what gets in my way, nothing could stop me!” Kacchan is always saying things that are hurtful and mean but today that sentence right there stuck with me. I felt as if something was blocking me from being a full hero. Something is in my way… but what?

Entry 3

I’m still awake… maybe all of these feelings of not being born with my own quirk are affecting me more than I thought. Obviously, it bothered me when I first found out I was never going to have one. Maybe that’s why I will never feel like a full hero. In reality, I’m a con. I’m selfish. I don’t deserve this quirk. It was literally handed to me… I wish I was born a hero with a quirk. Maybe I have to be born into that mentality. Maybe that’s what happened to Kacchan. Maybe that’s why he hates me. He worked for everything and worked to advance his quirk and I just was given this quirk. I can’t dwell on the past, I have to move forward now. I mean I made it this far… I need sleep… 

Entry 4

I’m in a better mood than last night. Kacchan ended up knocking on my door. He told me “not to be such a damn loser” because he feels as though I have a powerful quirk. Then he left. That was enough to get me to sleep last night. I’m just trying to see what he does. What does anyone see in me? All Might, Kacchan, Uraraka. coming back from collaborating with a hero agency…hmm… could this be the cost of working as an actual hero. Is this the feeling I want to feel forever? I mean I did save Eri but at what cost a life. Maybe I can turn this feeling of uncertainty into the reason I work harder as a hero. I want to save lives without any casualties. I want to enhance my quirk and make myself feel as if I earned it. It will be great. I will be the best hero because I push myself to be. I will earn it and work harder than ever to be the best hero ever! because all might…Kacchan and Uraraka believe in me.

That’s enough overthinking,

The best hero,

Deku
