YEAR ONE

Bakugou Katsuki’s Five Tenets for Surviving Your First Year at UA High 

by Bakugou Katsuki

Okay, listen up, ‘cuz I ain’t gonna repeat myself.

So, you grew up thinking you were hot shit stuff; you ruled your middle school and now you think you have what it takes to become the number one hero in the world.

Think again, Extra.

Here are the facts, you ain’t special: statistically, biologically, nor competently.

So, to console your sorry ass soul as it deals with this harsh epiphany, here are my five rules for coping with your miserable existence:

You don’t matter. You can’t make a difference in the long run.

There’s no cause really worth fighting for. The only thing worth pledging your allegiance to is winning.

Inspiration is for artists and losers who make excuses for not being able to do their job. The only thing you need to win is yourself.

It’s not worth trying if you can’t even qualify for the unspoken rules of the game.

You have limits. There will always be people intrinsically better than you. Accept that, and try to move on.

…

Now, if you nodded along to even one of those rules, pack up your bags and move to another school more suited to your mediocre reality.

‘Cuz we have no place for you, and even if we did that place would be better empty than wasted on someone who believes in nothing and no one, not even themselves.

“We are preparing for a hero practice!!“
