Izuku approached The gates of UA. Seeing a swarm of press outside the gates. They must’ve figured out All Might is teaching here. But how did they figure it out so quickly, it’s only the first week.
As he nears the gates he gets bombarded with questions
“Are you a hero course student?”
“How is the symbol of peace in person”
“I wasn’t aware All Might had a teacher’s license, care to comment?’
“Is it true a student got injured under his watch?”
Izuku tried to push through the crowd, not wanting to think about the symbol of peace right now. Other students also got warmed by the mob, being bombarded with similar questions. Before… Is that Eraserhead, The Eraserhead works here
Izuku had done research on every hero that operated in Mustafa, Those who he could see fight in person, since he was better at analyzing them that way, although eraserhead had been hard to track. Having to find his patrol route by mapping out where every villain he had captured. (That information had been made public in accordance with the Heroes Transparency Act) And eliminating the outliers.
Then he would go on those routes at night and try to see the hero in action. Which took another two months. And a harsh scolding from the man in question. But he had been enamored by the heroes fighting style, allowing him to take out foes before they knew to fight back. He might’ve stolen some of the moves for his training.
“All Might isn’t on the premises, he is a very busy hero. Now leave My students be, you’ve distracted them enough.”
The students took the chance to rush into the gates. Leaving their teacher to handle the press.
As Izuku entered his homeroom, he noticed everyone avoiding eye contact with him. He sat down behind Shinsou, pulling out his Hero Analysis book #14 and began writing redoing old entries on some of his teachers. Filling in information he had pickled up as their students, like Present Mic’s apparent fear of bugs, after a classmate had brought in some for a snack (Lizard quirk that affects their diet).
Before long the bell rang and he was on his way to Nezu's class, who had him take a test the other day, he should be getting the results back now. Honestly the test was pretty fun, besides a few sections he didn't know, like coding and ruining someone's reputation. which he had been hesitant about. But he didn't want to fail Nezu, So he had tried his best, doing a hypothetical takedown of All Might, targeting his high damage numbers and casualties, alongside some interviews that made him look bad. Slowly targeting his character before landing on some choice words the hero had about mutant quirks and so called Villain quirks. It had been cathartic for him. He entered the Office, The door opened automatically.
"Ah Midoriya I am sure you are glad to know I just finished scoring your exam. I must say you did better than I expected, getting 75%. Quite impressive I must say. "
He felt heartbroken only 75… I knew I should've gone over the questions for a third time.
"Most of my personal students got a 50 or less on their first time, the only other student who had a score above it was Aizawa. who got a 63 on his first attempt."
Wait what? I'm not that good, there has to be a mistake
As if Nezu was reading his mind he responded
"There is no mistake, Midoriya. Although I have one question, for the bonus question, why did you pick All Might, surely there would have been easier heroes to take down.”
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Izuku gives the widest grin he can manage “I assume you wanted me to challenge myself Nezu Sensei”
Nezu studied Izuku, tail moving back and forth, in what Izuku assumed was a questioning manner.
The principal bared his teeth, mimicking a grin “Yes, well you did exquisitely well, could i show this to some of my staff?”
“I..” He didn’t really want people to see this, especially teachers. But he didn’t want to disappoint. The principal may act friendly but Izuku knew how principals operated, they only tolerated you as long as you were useful to them, and he wasn’t about to risk being expelled. “Yes sensei, If you wish”
Nezu clapped his hands together with a twinkle in his eye. “wonderful! I’m Sure they'll get a riot out of it.”
Yagi was tired, Young Bakugou had ignored his warnings and almost launched a far too strong attack at Todoroki, thankfully the boy had managed to encase his equipment in ice, before knocking the hot headed teen unconscious. The young boy had volunteered to work alone due to the uneven number of students, and Yagi had allowed it. He remembered the scolding he got from Aizawa. “You don’t let teenagers battle each other without any training All Might! I had left you the lesson plan on costume design hadn’t I. I mean have you seen some of their costumes? I'm not even sure if Hagakure has one! “
“Hagakure is…”
“The girl with the invisibility quirk, Did you even read their files?”
He hadn’t actually gotten around to it, deciding he could just wing it by seeing their quirks in action.
“Of course you haven’t, I don’t know why the rat ever agreed to this, I don’t care if you’re the number one, you clearly don’t know how to handle children.”
He had left the room after that, not giving Yagi the chance to respond.
I really need a book for this whole teaching thing. Hopefully Aizawa calms down soon, I don’t want to have bad relations with one of the teachers i'll see most often
He rubbed his temples, trying to get rid of a headache. He’s been having since the slime villain incident.
When he looked back up, he fell out of his chair, hitting the ground as he got spooked by one Nezu who had appeared on his desk
“How, how did you do that?”
“I have my ways Yagi, Now get back up and sit down, I got something I'm sure you’d love to read, " the animal said with a grin so feral it sent shivers down Yagi’s spine.
As the lunch bell rang, Izuku headed for the support department, he had 4 PowerPoints ready to explain why he should be able to use their facilities. And for why anyone would like to make equipment for him, including using his quirk status as exposure, since if it helps a quirkless person win, well then it can help anyone win. He went over everything for the 5th time standing in front of the door to the development room. He raises his fist into the air, feeling his nerves calm. You got this!
As he enters the door he sees a piece of equipment explode.
Power Loader sighs “that’s the fifth explosion during lunch time alone, don’t you think you should go eat in the cafeteria with everyone else Hatsume.”
The pink haired girl in question lifted her goggles, dusting off her overalls. “But sensei, I got so many babies I need to make, and i can eat here’
“That’s not the point and you know it”
Izuku straightened up. Trying his best to look professional. “Umm… hello? Sorry to interrupt, but I have a request to ask Power Loader Sensei.”:
“Oh, hello, its unusual for hero students to even come here before the sports festival, is it a costume change, because if so you will have to wait until after school”
Hatsumes eyes lit up "Don't listen to this old grouch, I'd love to look over your costume, make a few adjustments, and maybe add some.."
“I~ I’m a General Education student, From class 1C.”
“Oh a Gen Ed kid..” he grew pale “Wait, you're Nezus student aren’t you.”
“Yes..” I don’t know why he looks terrified, Nezu isn’t that scary.
After a prolonged silence, Izuku cleared his throat “Well if you would let me, I’d love to use your facilities, and to also employ one of your students as well if possible.”
Powerloader grabbed at his hair. “Of course you do.” he sighs “ Yes you can, and as for ‘employing’ one of my students it's up to…
Hatsume rushed up “ So Mini Nezu. What is it you want?"
"I want some support equipment made."
"Quirk, and what kind of equipment "
Well I had to try
"I-Don't have one"
Hatsume stood there silent for a moment before grabbing Izuku by the arms “You’re a blank slate! You’ll be the perfect advertisement for Hatsume industries.”
She’s happy that I’,m quirkless? Izuku's brain nearly short circuited at this information, the best he had gotten so far has been grim understanding or pity. This. This was new.
"Nice knowing you kid" Power Loader said as he walked away.
After Izuku got over the shock, he began showing her all his ideas, and she bombarded him with a million new ones and improvements. Maybe, just maybe. Things are finally looking up.
What Izuku couldn’t hear from the development studio was an alarm going off as the media flooded into the courtyard. And as the teachers flooded in to contain the media, and students trampled one another in confusion. A figure snuck into the teachers lounge, stealing the Schedule for one teacher, All Might. Before suddenly disappearing in a purple mist.
