"Ah, Mr. Joestar, I was told you were coming. I didn't expect you to be here so quickly, though. And who is this you have brought?"

Joseph held himself tall as he walked into the principal of UA's office. He wasn't scared of the rat, and even if he was, he was here for Izuku, who had apparently been exploded while at UA. Joseph could feel deep down that it was probably that Bakugou brat.

He turned his head to the short man in a suit standing next to him. "He's one of my lawyers. I hope that he won't be necessary for our meeting, but I've learnt that it's better to be safe than sorry."

It was only Joseph's large amount of experience as a businessman that allowed him to catch the slight twitch of Nezu's eyebrow at the word 'lawyer'. He had to quickly hide the smirk that fell onto his face to keep up his professional air.

Nezu fixed a smile onto his face, waving the two of them inside, putting his tea to the side. He obviously hadn't been expecting this meeting to be very significant when he was notified of Joseph's arrival. Good, that meant Joseph had the upper hand.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Joestar?"

Joseph sat down across from Nezu, his lawyer sitting down next to him, staying quiet for the moment. He wasn't needed just yet. Joseph coughed into his robotic hand and started talking.

"It has come to my attention that during your heroics class today, Midoriya Izuku was attacked with a large, potentially lethal explosion. I want to know the details of this attack, and what you are planning on doing about it."

Nezu was silent for a moment, looking slightly confused, before humming. "Before I answer your questions, I have some of my own. Firstly; what is your connection to Midoriya Izuku?"

Joseph held his head up and smiled. "He's like a son to me. I've known him since he was around 12. Our families are very close."

Nezu nodded slowly, seemingly absorbing that information, before he continued. "And for my second question, just how exactly did you acquire this information? The class ended no more than 10 minutes ago and Midoriya was sent straight to the infirmary, without a chance to message anyone."

Joseph frowned, crossing his arms. "I'm sorry, but I have been advised to not reveal my source for the time being. You'll just have to trust me when I say that it is secure and none of the information gathered in this way has been or will be recorded or reach the public in any way."

Nezu frowned as well, looking to Joseph's lawyer, who nodded at the unspoken question. He then turned back to Joseph and hummed. "It seems that I will have to earn more of your trust before we can talk about this source of yours. Very well. I will tell you what caused the explosion.

Nezu turned his computer monitor around to allow both himself and Joseph to see it and turned on a video showing 1-A arriving into a dark room filled with screens. "Midoriya Izuku was participating in a 2v2 training match under the supervision of All Might."

Joseph watched as Izuku approached a girl dressed in green, blinking in surprise as he saw what Izuku was wearing. "What in the…"

Nezu pressed 'pause' on the video and looked back up at Joseph and raised an eyebrow at the man. "Pardon?"

Joseph just shook his head. He could wait until later to unpack Izuku's hero costume, and the memories it brought back up. "Not to worry, please continue."

Nezu nodded, pressing 'play' and allowing the video to continue, before it suddenly cut to multiple point-of-views from the camera's inside a building, tracking the movements of all 4 fighters.

Izuku was in the top left, the green girl (who seemingly had some sort of frog mutation) was in the top right, and their opponents were on the bottom, including a girl with brown hair and pink costume, and…

"Bakugou Katsuki. I knew it."

Nezu paused the video again, turning to Joseph and pulling out a folder from his desk drawer, labelled 'Bakugou Katsuki'. "You know of him?"

Joseph scowled, nodding. "Yes, I do. Tormented Izuku for most of their childhood due to a belief that Izuku had a 'weak Quirk.'. Can create explosions of various intensitiespower from the palms of his hands. Powerful, but incredibly hot-headed and aggressive."

Nezu blinked, reading what Aizawa had written for his assessment of Bakugou from the first day. Apart from the tormenting bit, Joseph had quoted Aizawa's notes word for word. Intriguing… "I was aware of young Bakugou's aggression, and the fact that they both went to Aldera Junior, but not of their former relationship, or lack thereof."

Joseph nodded. "That's fine, I doubt Izuku went out of his way to bring up their connection. Continue the video please, I want to see what happened."

Nezu pressed fast-forward on the video and allowed it to continue at high-speed, giving them an overview of the match. Joseph watched a fight start rather quickly between the two girls and noted that Izuku seemed confident from what the camera could see.

He saw Izuku talking into his earpiece before running off to another room, being loud enough to draw Bakugou to him. Very clever. Even knowing what was about to happen, Joseph couldn't help being proud of his boy.

Turning the fast-forward off, Nezu spoke up. "Here we are, the explosion is about to occur. I will be turning on all the audio we have, but we lost a lot of cameras in the blast. Only a few survive the blast and those that do only seem to have audio remaining."

Joseph nodded. "That's fine, please continue."

Nezu hummed and pressed play, the voices of the two boys coming through the speakers.

"You wanna run away like you always do? Scamper away after getting one lucky hit in like a fucking bitch ?"

"Not a chance. You're going down this time."

"You actually believe that, don't you? I'm sure that nerd brain of yours has already figured out what these gauntlets do. How do you expect to beat me now that they're loaded up?"

Realisation dawned on Joseph, and he frowned.

"You gave a mentally unstable teenager with a hate boner for everyone and everything more firepower? What was UA thinking?"

Nezu frowned, shaking his head. "UA does not create the first costume for our hero students, merely receives them and approves them for use after the support studios finish creating them. I will be reviewing the employee who made such approvals later today, I assure you."

Joseph nodded, about to thank Nezu when he heard another voice through the speaker.

"YOUNG BAKUGOU! DO NOT FIRE THAT IN SUCH A SPACE! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS!"

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"

Nezu winced at the sudden increase in volume, his ears flattening for a moment. He glared at Joseph. "Mr Joestar, please calm yourself."

Joseph wasn't having it. "Calm myself? Bakugou couldn't have known about Izuku's ability to survive a blast like that! His attack was with the intention of either great injury or death! And was forbidden by All Might! And you expect me to be calm?!"

Nezu was outright scowling now and stood up on his chair. "Mr. Joestar, SIT DOWN."

Joseph growled, but sat down, glaring at the rat. "Mr. Wright, please start the procedures, I'm planning on suing-"

Nezu interrupted him. "Please, wait for just a moment Mr. Joestar and allow me to explain ourselves before anyone thinks about suing anybody else."

Joseph just crossed his arms, glaring at the rat, but nodded. "Fine, but this better be the absolute best god-damn explanation I've ever heard in my life."

Nezu just closed his eyes and nodded, taking a deep breath before starting to talk. "Let's talk punishments for those at fault. Which, to me, are All Might and Young Bakugou."

Joseph nodded, and Nezu, seeing that, sighed slightly and continued.

"Let's start with All Might…"

"DEMOTED?!"

Aizawa couldn't even hide the smirk he had on his face as he saw the horror on All Might's face as Nezu told him his punishment for the incident on the first day of training. He had to elbow Mic to make sure that the man's giggles weren't heard by All Might.

Nezu just nodded to the man, frowning. "Yes, All Might. I am demoting you, as I am allowed to based on the contract you signed when you became a staff member here at UA. From now on, you are a Teaching Assistant, not a teacher by yourself."

All Might, who was in his deflated form, sat down in his desk, wiping a hand down his face. Nezu just clambered onto the desk and patted the man on the shoulder. "You made a grave mistake during that match, and you need an appropriate punishment."

All Might nodded, letting out a groan. "Please, at the very least, don't reveal my demotion to the press? They'd be all over both myself and UA if that were to happen. They'd demand answers to a whole heap of questions."

Nezu nodded. "I will be keeping your demotion out of any public copies of our documents, but the teachers will be treating you like an assistant during the classes, so students might notice. It is up to them to keep the secret, something I will be making sure every student is aware of."

All Might sighed, his head drooping. Could this get any worse?

"Also, you will be apologising to both Midoriya Izuku and Mr. Joestar tomorrow, in person, using your Muscle form."

Shit, he shouldn't have jinxed it.

Izuku sighed as he laid in the bed of the infirmary.

Apparently, Recovery Girl didn't believe him when he said that his 'Quirk' was able to completely heal Izuku, and wanted to keep him there to give him a check-up, especially after it was mentioned how he got injured.

"Quit your sighing, youngster. I don't care how many scrapes and bruises you've fixed with that Quirk of yours, after something like what Asui told me about, you are getting a full check-up."

Izuku crossed his arms and leaned back on the bed, huffing. "But I'm fine! I've literally fixed dislocated shoulders with it before! I once even re-attached a finger after I messed up with my sword!"

The glare that Recovery Girl sent his way stopped him in his tracks immediately and clued him in to the fact that she wasn't impressed by him. "What? It was only once? I'm much better with a sword now."

Recovery Girl kept her gaze on him as he squirmed uncomfortably, before the machine above the bed beeped, a green light flashing on. "Well, there doesn't seem to be any serious damage leftover after you healed yourself, but there are still a few minor burns that I'll heal for you."

Izuku pushed his hair up, revealing his forehead to her, prompting her to stand on a stool next to the bed and plant a kiss on his forehead. Izuku instantly felt the drain of stamina, as little as it may be.

Recovery Girl then retracted her lips and hummed. "You are in remarkable shape, young man. To go through a fight like that using your Quirk to its fullest and still have so much stamina leftover…"

Izuku just smiled, rubbing the back of his head. "Yea, I've been doing a lot of endurance training ever since I was a kid. Takes a lot to exhaust me, nowadays. But that's definitely a good thing."

Recovery Girl nodded, waving him out of the infirmary. "Definitely a good thing, yes. Now, you're all clear, so please leave now. Bakugou will probably be waking up soon and I doubt he will enjoy having you around when he does. Especially since Nezu should be down soon to dish out his punishment for disobeying All Might."

Izuku smirked at that, wondering what UA would make Katsuki do for not listening to All Might. Maybe they would transfer him! Izuku could definitely hope that they at least sent him to 1-B. Not being in the same class as the boy would be a literal godsend.

He left the infirmary, holding his arm up to wave goodbye to Recovery Girl as he did, not seeing the contemplative look in her eyes. He didn't know it yet but he had caught her interest.

'Another person capable of such extensive healing might be nice if it's possible for him to heal others… I wonder if I'm allowed to take interns later on in the year? I'll have to talk with the rat about it. He'll probably let me though…'

'He does owe me for the "Torino incident"…'
