You are Ushi Walker, the half-japanese/half-american wielder of the mighty quirk “Everything is Bigger in Texas", U.A High first year student, the yet to be awarded winner of the sports festival tournament and very, very tired.

After all the fighting, the beatings you took and the treatments for those beatings, you kind of feel like if you were to lean on something, you'd be snoring in an instant.

Not like you could lean against a wall anyway, as Pony carefully controls the hovering horn you are holding on, floating you around the hallway as she shows what she can do, just as she finishes telling you how her homeroom teacher said she could do so much more with further training.

And you can't help but agree.

"<He's goddamn right! You can be like… like… Got it! Snipe and Gunhead! At the same time!>" You tell her, letting go of the horn and hitting the floor in a three point landing before hopping back up and placing your hands by your own horns, mimicking her shooting stance. " <Pew! Pew! You just gotta get a better grip on those controls of yours!>"

>"<...But that's, like, what Hawks does, isn't it?>" Pony replies, grabbing the ends of her open jacket and fully opening her arms. "<Coo~>"

It takes you a moment to assimilate her impression of what a hawk sounds like, but you don't let it slow you too much, lowering your finger guns to chest level.

"<Yeah, but you gotta admit that Gunhead and Snipe's names are way better.>" You tell her after the moment of silence, not sure if she's messing with you, or she actually has no idea of how hawks sound. "<Not sure if you've noticed, but Ah ain't a big fan of animal names.>"

...Or maybe the N°3 Hero does… No, that'd be silly.

Your attention then goes back to Pony, who huffs at your point.

"<C'mon gal, you know what Ah mean. He chose the name. We grew up being called livestock. Ain't the same thing.>" You tell her, nervously rubbing the back of your neck and choosing to jump from the pan to the fire, changing the subject to whatever Pony wanted to talk about. "<...Anywho! What did you want to talk about?>"

>"<...That.>" She replies, squinting and slowly reaching for your head, not high enough to reach your horns. <"Don't you think it's weird? Trying to be a symbol for people you are ashamed to belong?">

"<W-wha-!?>" You stutter, trying to come up with a quick answer.

>"<Sorry!…>" She says, initially shrinking back and waving her hands in front of herself, then suddenly stopping. "<I mean… It's weird, and kind of hurts… I know you have a reason, but after today I realized I couldn't prance around the issue and had to be upfront.>"

As you stare, tired and now confused, she reaches again, parting the fluffy mess that is your hair and revealing your ears to the soft draft in the hall.

>"<Oh, nice and fuzzy.... Is that a scar?>" She continues before clearing her head with a shake. "<I mean… It's all so weird, like, we've been chatting for weeks and I'm not sure I even know you that much. I don't really get you. The cowgirl who doesn't want to be, the japanese-american that comes to Japan to act like a walking 4th of July… It feels a bit insulting even.>"

>What do you do?


>[She knows it's a sore subject… But she has a point too. "<What do ya' want me to do? Get an updo and start lowing in japanese? Ah can't do that!>"]
>[...She has a point, but what does she expect you to say? You don't know! "<I'm not sure Ah get ma'self… Been told that's part of the bein' a teenager deal though, got a couple years to nail it down, you know?>"]
>[How does she feel insulted!? "<Let me lend you a hand, Pony pal. Name's Ushi Walker and that first half has rarely helped me any, it actually got me put through the grinder for years, so excuse me for not going around with my "MEGA MILK" T-shirt on! That's all there's to get!>"]
>[Too tired to deal with this and you still have the rest of the day to get through. Just walk away. "<Ah'll be sure to tell you all 'bout it when Ah figure it out.>"]
>[Write in.]
---

Finally, Ushi's out the box.

The disconnect here is that Pony is pretty loud and proud about being... well, a pony. Ushi wants to be more than a cow. Which is why I like the write-in, it conveys that clearly without being overly confrontational.

It would do us well, I think, to explain that we didn’t just come to Japan to be here, but rather because we were running away from our life in America.

Overall, we should pretty much just tell her what we told our classmates. We thought we could get away without having to talk about it anymore but it turned out we can’t.
>>
>>3099639
I agree, but to do that we need to do a write-in which makes it a lot less likely to come to pass.

To say it's a touchy subject would have been an understatement, and you can't help but get a tad incensed at her for bringing it up, doubting your motivation and your pride on the greatest country on God's green earth!?

But you can't just go off on her. She doesn't know how life was for you, going from laughing stock to the target of almost every abuse possible, and even though you don't want to think about it, you are sure it was just because you left before they could try.

...That, and the fact you can see where she's coming from. After all, the idea isn't to climb to the top to tell the kids "People will leave you alone if you suppress what makes you different!"

"<What do ya' want me to do? Get an updo and start lowing in japanese? Ah can't do that!>" You tell her, stopping for a second to ruminate your thoughts and sigh. "<...It's not that Ah'm ashamed of my mom's side of the family. Ah just want to be me. Ah want to be able to stand out without getting smacked down as a dumb cow again and again.>"

You can see her expression shift as you speak, first to irritation, then to sympathy and finally landing on befuddlement.

"<That's what Ah want for others like me!>" You finish, driving the point home and deflating a bit.

There's no angle to try and talk about any of this that wouldn't leave you drained.

>"<...What are you talking about?>" Pony asks, tilting her head to the side.

Then it clicks.

"<Oh, Ah get it now.>" You start, feeling years of buried frustration start to unearth themselves. "<It just never happened to you, did it?>"


>"<Ushi->" She softly starts, raising her hands placantly before her.

"<Never got tapetags on your ears, or is that too cow specific!?>" You interrupt her, taking a step back and ruffling your hair, covering your ears once more. "<Maybe you got to hear your classmates discuss how to hogtie you and dump you at the glue factory? Or maybe just get told every day of ninth grader how you could make yourself useful and start offering rides?>"

>"<Please st->" Pony says, trying to interfere again, taking a step towards you.

"<Or… Or how about pulling and lifting your tail!?>" You ask her, looking down and hugging yourself, shaking a bit by the end.

For a minute there, you are glad to be as tired as you are. You just don't have it in you to fly in a rage or break down. If anything, as soon as the frustration burns out, you just feel… empty.

Then you see her hooves, followed by the warmth of her arms around you.

>"<...Are you done?>" She softly asks, getting a slow nod from you. "<I'm sorry… I didn't think...>"

"<Yeah, thought so… No way everyone has it as bad as Ah had.>" You reply, sighing and letting the shorter girl hold you. "<And Ah reckon some had it… ugh, worse…. But Ah wanna be there for them. Tell them that they are themselves first, mutations and quirks second, you know?">
>>
>"<Well… You are on the right track?>" She says, trying to sound reassuring without sounding sure herself.

You don't know what to make of the situation. For all you know, she should be mad...
But looking up from the floor and to your friend's large blue eyes, you understand. She pities you.

Great…

At least she doesn't hate you?

>What do you do?

>[Maybe you can still salvage this. How do you show her you aren't ashamed? (How?)]

It wounds your pride a little, knowing that she feels sorry for you.
But with how long the day has felt and how tired you feel, you just don't have it in you to try and straighten things out.

"<Thanks, ah guess. Ah better go get ready for the awards ceremony.>" You tell her, flashing her a rather weak smile. "<Wish me luck up there...>"

And with that, you turn towards a semi-random corridor, one you knew would take you away from Pony's path and likely to a restroom.

>"...Isn't Japan jusht that much kinder, then?" She says before you could take more than a couple steps, dropping your native tongue for her still faulty japanese. "A fresh start, no?"

"...Yeah, Ah guess." You reply, shrugging. "Ah reckon it's been great so far… Other than what happened at USJ… or the surprise test at… USJ. ...Ah think Ah may hate the dang place."

As the memories of what you'd easily call the worst moments of the school year so far flow through your head, you feel a fair bit more energetic, of only because of how thinking of them makes your blood roil.

"You'd think they'd guard the place up and get more robust security systems to make sure things are safe…" You rant, digging your heels in and turning around, then taking a whole chapter off Iida's book and flailing your arms around, as if trying to get your grievances across to a landing plane. "<But WOOPTY DOODLE DOO! let's fake a second ambush and hope everyone brought their brown costumes!>"

There's a pang of irritation behind your eyes at Pony's response, a poorly contained giggle, but as she tries to hide it behind her hands, you can't really hold on to it, letting the annoyance fade back into the depths of your mind and be replaced by self awareness and the amusement that follows, briefly joining Pony with an uneasy giggle.

"Sorry…Ah think Ah kinda lost them inhivishuns a few blows to the dome ago." You excuse yourself, sheepishly reaching for the brim of your hat to pull down, then for your belt when you can find it, but you aren't wearing a belt either, leaving you nothing to fiddle with but your index fingers.

>"..." For a second, Pony doesn't say anything else, seemingly at a loss for words. Then she walks up to you and gives you a hug, nuzzling the side of your neck for a second before putting her hands on your shoulders and pushing you on your way. "Just go, you huge awkward grass puppy, just don't bleat on stage, sing the star-spangled or something like that."

"Will do!" You tell her, grabbing her back for a quick hug, almost bumping horns.

Even though you know you still need to work out things with Pony, you feel a tad better, a bit more energetic as you roam through the stadium till you find a ladies restroom.

After refreshing yourself and making sure all the blood going around your wooden teeth didn't make them look weirder, you can only praise Recovery Girl's treatment.
>>
Looking at yourself in the mirror, you don't look like you could collapse like a puppet if you blink too hard, but as good as you've ever been. Hair's still a mess though, but that's not something anything short of shaving your head will ever fix.

All in all, by the time you hear your cue to return to the stage, you feel as ready as you think you can be.

It gets a bit better though, as Midnight awaits you at the gate, next to Fumikage.

"Howdy!" You greet them, waving as you walk towards them.

>"Walker, looking ready for a centerfold. Good!" Midnight says, looking you up and down.

It makes you beam with pride.

>"A shame that we never met on the ring." Fumikage muses out loud as you come to stand by his side. "Still, Dark Shadow's stygian might and my own prowess were aptly shown… So I have nothing to say but congratulations for your victory."

"'Bout that…" You say, grabbing him by the arm, instantly noticing that he has gained some weight. "...You went through with what Ah recommended you! You are workin' out!.. Ah mean, it's not 'nuff to show off yet, but gosh! There's something between skin n' bone!"

>"Did you happen to faint against a hard surface?" Your classmate asks, carefully prying his arm from your hands.

>"...This might be the first time I've seen a boy dismiss a girl noticing his gains." Midnight notes before shaking her head. "Anyway, we can't start without Bakugo, but if he doesn't appear soon, we'll ruin what's left of the schedule."

"Speak of the devil…" You mumble, noticing the particular scent of salt and sweetness that you've come to know as his sweat. "At least he's punctual."

>"Fuck it, let's get this crap over with." The blond says as he not only walks towards the three of you, but past, to the gate.

>"...That works." Midnight says, motioning towards the gate. "Go stand on your podiums and wait."

Nodding along with Fumikage, you walk into the sunlight once more, basking in the crowds cheering as you make your way to the tallest podium, keeping up a smile as you hurry to overtake Bakugo.

First place should take her place first, right?

But as you walk past him, it's hard to not notice the fact that he looks like he's trying to break his own teeth with how tight his jaw is, nor how he's sweating during can't be more than a brisk walk.

He's really mad... Or has stage fright.
...Most likely the former.

As much as I’d like to ask him how he got back from Dallas so quickly, a good sportswoman should be graceful in victory and humble in defeat.

We can wait for him to start shit before we dunk on him.

While you are pretty sure he's mad, he's not quite MAD as he could be.

It might be possible, even easy, to give him the final push… But even though it could be a bit cathartic to do, you'd like to believe you are better than that.

Instead, you just look away from him and walk up to your podium with your head held high, keeping a proud smile for the crowd and cameras.

>"NOW WE MOVE ON TO…" Midnight announces as both Fumikage and you slowly climb the podium steps to take your place, while Bakugo just stomps forwards without decor.

For a brief moment, you wonder why would she let the phrase linger, but then you take the final step. Apparently, you standing on the center of the massive first place podium was someone's cue to start a fireworks show.

>"<YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!>"....And to get Present Mic to do his best to try and be louder than than the detonations.

>"...THE AWARDS CEREMONY!" Midnight finishes with a twirl for the for the crowd before turning towards the cameras and crews set up in front of the stage, winking at them before pointing at the distance…

Not at the distance… There's something tall standing just over the stadium's lights…

>"NOW FOR THE MEDALS!! PRESENTING THEM THIS YEAR IS..." The 18+ Heroine says. "Oh, you know who!"

"I AM!!" You hear the No. 1 Hero's shout, making the silhouette on the roof's identity obvious.

And if anyone hadn't pieced it together yet the moment the figure hops off the roof, front flipping three times before hitting the ground before you, your classmates and Midnight.

"Woah…" You swoon as All Might lands, lifting a ring shaped dust cloud.

>"Everyone's hero, ALL MIGHT!!!" Midnight says, leaving the No. 1 Hero awkwardly waiting to finish his entrance, keeping his knee on the ground. "..."

"..." Being a full stadium, it's incredible how everyone can go quiet at the same time, looking at Midnight as the dust settles.

>"...Sorry, sorry, carry on." She says, backpedaling away. "I'll go fetch the medals..."

"...Here! To bestow the medals!" All Might finishes, standing up and walking up to Fumikage as Midnight retrieves a tray from a nearby robot.

"Congratulations, young Tokoyami. You are a strong one and are only getting stronger!" The hero says, merrily laughing as he takes the bronze medal from Midnight's tray.

>"I don't deserve your praise." Fumikage replies, bowing his head and letting All Might put the medal around his neck.

He can barely look up before the hero embraces him, making him lose his composure and breaking his broody expression as the crowd cheers for him, to which you join by clapping.

"You have begun training your body as well as your quirk. It may not be enough now, but keep walking that path and you'll discover a world of opportunities. Keep honing your strengths this way, and you'll be able to deal with any situation." All Might tells before releasing him.

>"Understood..." Fumikage says, looking down at his shiny new medal.

Then he heads on to your right, towards Bakugo, who seems more immobile than calm, likely trying to keep his anger in check.

If anything, he looks madder than before, still far from the worst you've seen him, but seems like trying to keep a lid on it is not helping. In fact, he looks like he'll burst a blood vessel if he keeps down for too long.

"Young Bakugo." The hero says, approaching him with the silver medal in hand. "You may have missed your mark by a hair's width, but you are still at the top of the curve, my boy. You still have the potential and time to fulfil that promise at a later date."

Right then, if you didn't know what his quirk was, you would have guessed it was melting metal with his gaze. You don't think you've seen that much hate directed at an inanimate object in years.

>"...I will, I just missed a stepping stone. It won't happen again!" Bakugo replies, keeping his head up, sneering and making All Might reach out to put the medal around his neck. It still doesn't save him from receiving a hug. "ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ON MY WAY, I'LL INCINERATE IT ALL. I WILL BE NUMBER ONE, NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!!!"

Immediately after shouting his lungs out at All Might, Bakugo looks way better.
Still far from calm, but he looks a lot more relaxed in his anger after All Might lets go of him… That is to say, he looks closer to a fuming volcano than a nuke.
You don't clap for him as enthusiastically as for Fumikage, but he still deserves some cheering.

"...A drive to be admired, for sure." All Might comments after recovering from the shouting next to his ear.

Then, finally, it's your turn.

"And finally, Walker." The No. 1 Hero says, turning towards you holding a golden medal now. "You've come a long way to stand on that podium, haven't you?"

"...Yeah." You reply, finding it hard to find the words.

"You never held back, and never repeated a move." All Might tells you as you bow your head to receive your medal, fumbling a bit to get it to go past your horns. "The element of surprise and your amazing flexibility can bring you a long way, but don't rely on knowing ten thousand kicks. I recommend finding a style that suits you to base your combat around as a next step."

Then he takes a step back as the crowd cheers.
They cheer for you.

We're getting a glimpse of what's REALLY up with Bakugo.
And the answer is that he's basically this legendary cunt (and top tier waifu) right here.
They're both great examples of exactly how an actual clinical narcissist both behaves and truly feels.
They have cripplingly low opinions of themselves, that they cover up with a practiced veneer of arrogance and rudeness. This veneer seems monolithic and impressive, but is in fact paper thin, and so must be constantly reinforced and maintained.
Bakugo's anger towards Midoriya all started when he thought Midoriya was looking down on him. That's not just dickishness, that's the paranoid overreaction to a simple hand up of a young boy with little to no self worth.
>>
>>3130992
So what’s it gonna take to get him to chill out then?
>>
>>3131010
Therapy.
NPD is chronic and incurable, but a good therapist can help individuals be more stable, and less... Bakugo.
Unfortunately, this is Japan and there's a whole social stigma around going to therapy. And Bakugo would definitely take the suggestion of seeing a shrink as an insult and refuse to go.
>>
>>3131017
What if Ushi goes to therapy (say, to cure her pyrophobia) and comes back all “Ah’m stronger now.” ?

Hound Dog is available, and if this were modern day all students would mandatorily attend some counciling after an attempt on their life on school grounds like USJ.

If somebody he respects does it, I think it would push him in that direction.
>>
>>3131021
It's possible, but the trick is getting him to stay.
Therapy has to be a choice, to really work.
Bakugo has to WANT to address his inaccurate self-perception, which means he has to recognize that there's something wrong.
Endeavor is similar, and it took him having a full-blown mental breakdown after becoming #1 on a technicality to get him to start addressing his own insecurities in canon.
>>
>>3131027
Yeah, and it’s not like he isn’t able to make friends (somehow).

Bakugo is tsun for Ushi
Kaminari thinks Ushi is cute
Iida likes Ushi
Shoto likes her at least like a friend maybe more?

I miss anybody?

Sero, I forgot he thinks Ushi is cute too

Mineta.

Tin has dedicated its life to her, by force.

Kirishima thinks she’s manly.

Ushi’s just plain cute.

>>3131065
"Mineta"

Ushi is clearly female, of course is Mineta on the list
for the same reason he is disqualified

>>3131057
Denki is the only one who has actually expressed interest and been recognized.

Ushi gave Deku a bento so i guess there is that too? Even if it's just Bakugou pulling his leg.
