They had finally got it.

The key to the next step in their mystery.

Well the months leading up to getting this had been torture. as they searched and searched, but they were now fifty steps closer to getting the answers the. They were when they started.

It had started out simple after interviewing pros who would've patrolled the drivers route. and getting a basic run down of what everyone saw in the last 2 to 3 weeks. they soon gathered up the more experienced of the bunch to create a team to help with the investigation.

Then that specific group of pros were given the information that the authorities knew. along with the routes that the truck had taken and various stops the driver had made that may have given time to the owner of these pages, to slip them in there.

They set up patrols around the trucks routes and frequently checked to see if any other pages were thrown away. But in the middle of all of this, frequent attacks on heros had been occurring.

Leading to the notebook investigation to be be put on hold.

After some digging it turned out that a minor gang had been taking out some pros with some tips they found. It turned out that they had more of the pages bringing the total pages they had from about 48 to nearly 79!

After some more investigations they had found multiple of these gangs or even just random villains had been using the notebooks they found.

So in order to try and bring justice to those attacked and nearly killed pros, they begged for the security tapes of the location where the burnt trash was generally at. soon as they got it, They interviewed everyone who had been seen near the trash dump in that period of time.

And needless to say almost everyone seen looking through the burned dump had some involvement with the injured heros.

Soon they had been left with about 364 pages.

Except the officers noticed something. Some of the hand writing was incredibly messy but some was completely clean and tidy.

So this lead a working theory to come together.

That these notebooks were the work of Someone who had started writing in early childhood with their super human intellect and then continued after they aged, Maybe bored with their life as it currently was and...

Well that was it, no could really think of the rest of it.

Whoever had wrote this definitely had some kind of intelligence or analysis quirk.

They had no possible suspects and their list went on for miles with names of people ages 18-60 with intelligence or analysis quirks in the Musutafu area.

But they couldn't find anything and they even interviewed almost every person who had been in position of one of the pages asking if they had anything on them.

They were looking for some kind of black market connection.

But nothing like that came. none of them had seen any sort of receipt or anything on the pages or in the trash that would prove a connection.

They went down this rabbit hole for awhile eventually coming up with nothing useful.

But then they had decided to go back to the truck driver's route and begged building managers for security tapes from the days leading up to the truck's destruction.

Eventually they got almost all of them. going through them one by one, hoping, praying, they would finally find something.

And then they saw it.

It was someone small with worn, red shoes. With a hood that kept their hair and face hidden. Along with a backpack.

Once he was about 3 inches form the dumpster he took off his bag and unzipped it.

Opening the lid, he grabbed out the very thing that was being treated like one of the most dangerous weapons to date.

And he basically chucked them into the dumpster almost as if he was happy to finally get rid of this very dangerous information.

This person acted as if it was meaningless.

Izuku was panicking!

He had been posting on his new account all his small doodles and his drawn skits of pre-quirk video's that he found funny.

And he had 950 followers!!

(Well 947 but that's pretty close!)

He didn't even think he had that many people in his school. But can you believe it?? Almost 950 people- 950!!! Had been interested enough in him to want to be constantly able to see what he could do and what he liked and his dumb jokes and dumb drawings and dumb-

Wait...

How do almost 950 people find HIM interesting?

950!!!

Literally anyone could do anything ten times better than him!

Like Kacchan! Like... well Anyone!

Izuku felt honestly a little selfish for wanting to have so many people following his account. Based on his math probably all of them had quirks and at least 40 have a flashy quirk that could help them achieve their dreams, whatever they were.

And here izuku was wasting their time with someone who probably wouldn't make it into adulthood...

Izuku shook his head.

Why was he thinking like that? Just because that's what it says online and is... repeated to you almost everyday... doesn't mean it's true!

He still had about 4 careers left

-Vet

-Driver (of some kind)

- mover/trucker (wait that's kinda like the last one- whatever, it my list :) )

-somthing involving art (list stuff to involving art!)

- an odd job? (Idk I heard someone somewhere talk about it)

Izuku had always been bad at keeping himself focused on one small thing, thus why he always added little notes to himself. He thought they were fun.

He was pretty sure he was going to cross off vet though. He was told something about how most people didn't trust people with weak quirks touching their pets.

But he still had options!

And with that his phone beeped. Once he looked at it he noticed it was a message from one of his followers he had followed back. So he answered.

(Duh? It would be rude not to!)

He had been having a bad day. He wished everyone and everything would just leave him alone. Then he got on his phone and checked on his favorite creator.

Soon he was sent laughing at the newest post. It was from a show he started watching because of the live .who.-.png. Had where they just watched the show while holding the phone. Sometimes they would hand the camera popcorn and then steal it back and eat it.

It may sound stupid but he always let out a giggle when he saw the freckled hand steal back the popcorn they had just offered to a phone on a bed.

But the post made him laugh at how accurate the two characters acted toward each other.

Soon he got under his blankets and decided that Mabye he should take a chance.. this person had followed them back so they could at least try..right?

So with that little self convincing he went to they're profile and sent a small message.

: hi

He waited a few seconds and then saw a reply.

.who.-.png.: hello! :)

He was shocked... he really didn't expect a reply and didn't know what to do during text conversations- he had never been good at conversations in general!

Maybe he could just..

: sorry I didn't think you would respond I don't know what to say next

.who.-.png.: o same! I do that sometimes too :D

Huh..

:really?

.who.-.png.: yeah either that or I have to much to say

:wait what is that like?

.who.-.png.: well it's like hi how are you what time of day do you wake up? Do you eat cereal with the milk or cereal poured first? Do you like dogs or cats?

:wow a lot of conversations starters- I should take notes

.who.-.png.: yes you will be my next student in conversation class 1 / the best day of your life! / wowzer!

:lol yes train me in the art of faking life XD

.who.-.png.: Dang right I will :D

.who.-.png.: lesson one - air is breathable so breath air

:but why ??????????

.who.-.png.: because air :000

: oooo so air (•o•) (•O•) (•o•) (•-•)

.who.-.png.: yes the student has indeed became the teacher

Izuku was laughing so hard! he felt so happy! He was just so funny! But eventually he got tired

.who.-.png.: alright I gtg ,)

:bye :-)

Izuku was pretty sure he didn't know how to use emojis but it was almost funny! He couldn't wait to talk again!

--

Time skip*

Izuku was happy.

And it felt weird..

Probably because he was also really sad..

Wait how was he feeling then?

He feels mixed? But -- ohhhh

He did feel mixed! Because (1.) he had gained followers and he was very close to finally getting to try for UA {what? It was an amazing school and he could try the support course!}

but (2.) he has no career options. He read everywhere that he wouldn't be respected or trusted in jobs of authority or in ever interacting with any customers or people in general. And he would be too week for other jobs or simply not 'suited'

Even retail and fast food wouldn't take him!

And he had about 5 months until the exam so that was something.

Plus none of his friends have talked to him in the last few weeks..that was also weird.

But nothing he couldn't handle!
