Dear Journal,
Today was another eventful day in my journey to become the greatest hero. It started off like any other day, with me waking up early and heading to U.A. High School, where I'm currently studying alongside some of the most talented individuals in the world.
Morning Training
As soon as I arrived at school this morning, I headed straight for the training grounds. Being a hero requires constant improvement and honing of our skills, so every opportunity to train is precious. Today's training session focused on improving our agility and speed—two attributes that are crucial when it comes to saving lives.
I pushed myself harder than ever before during these exercises. The memories of being bullied in my childhood still haunt me sometimes; they serve as a reminder that there are people out there who need help just like I did back then.
Midoriya vs Todoroki: A Friendly Rivalry
After completing our morning training session, class 1-A gathered around for combat practice matches—a chance for us to face off against each other using our Quirks (special abilities). My opponent today was none other than Shouto Todoroki—an exceptionally skilled student who possesses both ice and fire powers.
Facing off against someone as powerful as Todoroki always gets my blood pumping with excitement! Our match began with an intense clash between his ice attacks and my One For All quirk—the power passed down from All Might himself!
Throughout the battle, we exchanged blows relentlessly while showcasing improved techniques we've been working on since last year's Sports Festival. Despite how fierce things got between us during those moments inside the ring—the raging fires versus icy blasts—I couldn't help but admire Todoroki's determination and strength.
Inevitably though, he underestimated me once again—I managed to catch him by surprise with a swift attack before securing victory over him! Although it was only a friendly match meant for training purposes, I couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. After all, Todoroki is considered one of the strongest students in our class.
Crush on Bakugou aka Kachan
Speaking of accomplishments, there's something else that has been occupying my mind lately—my feelings for Katsuki Bakugou or "Kacchan" as we call him. He may come off as brash and hot-headed to most people, but deep down inside he possesses an unwavering determination and passion for becoming the best hero.
I've known Kacchan since we were kids; back then, he used to bully me relentlessly because I was Quirkless. But over time, things changed between us—I think deep down he realized that strength isn't just determined by possessing powers alone.
Nowadays, we're more like friendly rivals than anything else. We push each other to become better heroes every day through intense training sessions and occasional sparring matches. There's a mutual respect between us—one that only those who have experienced hardship together can understand.
But lately...Lately it feels like there might be something more than just friendship blooming within me whenever I'm around him. It's difficult to describe this feeling accurately—it’s a mix of admiration and affection—an overwhelming warmth in my heart whenever his fiery personality shines through.
However complicated these emotions might be though—and trust me they are—I know my main focus right now should be on becoming the best hero possible! Love can wait until after I save enough lives!
Saving Lives: The Essence of Being A Hero
The true essence of being a hero lies not in gaining fame or recognition but rather in saving lives—the very reason why All Might inspired so many people including myself! Every encounter with danger presents an opportunity for growth—both as individuals and as future protectors!
This afternoon proved no different when news broke out about multiple villains attacking innocent civilians downtown. Without hesitation, our class, alongside the other heroes in training, rushed to the scene ready to face whatever challenges awaited us.
Battle Against Villains
The battle was intense—a chaotic dance of Quirks and strategies clashing against each other! It's moments like these where I truly understand what it means to be a hero—the responsibility that comes with possessing powers capable of altering the course of events!
I fought alongside my classmates—each one showcasing incredible strength and courage. We managed to subdue most of the villains without any casualties among civilians—an achievement we should all be proud of!
Though tired from exerting our powers during this battle, nothing compares to seeing hope return within people's eyes as they witness firsthand the efforts made by aspiring heroes like us.
Reflecting on Today
As I sit here reflecting on today's events while writing this journal entry—I can't help but feel grateful for everything that has led me up until now. The friendships forged at U.A., overcoming personal obstacles both physically and emotionally—it’s been quite a journey so far!
But even more exciting is knowing there are countless adventures waiting just around the corner! Every day brings new challenges—and every challenge presents an opportunity for growth.
No matter how tough things may get or how many setbacks come my way—I will always remain dedicated to becoming a true symbol of peace—one who embodies All Might’s legacy and inspires others through selflessness and unwavering determination!
