Return of The Deku

Izuku hummed happily as he and his friends walked to the cafeteria. This time though they were joined by Tokage and Kendo. The greanette had said something about green buddies sticking together and the red head followed her friend.

They all got lunch and sat together, and it was weird for Izuku. He'd never had something like this, never had a group of friends to call his own. But Yanagi had never once been rude to him, even though she basically knew he had problems with his stuttering and nervousness.

Monoma was overly friendly, and was always complimenting him, it was nice.

Tokage seemed really cool, like the one friend that everyone wanted to be like, even if they weren't the best role model but because they were just awesome.

And while he hadn't seen much of Kendo yet, she seemed respectable. She seemed kind to him, and she had a warm face to her. She didn't seem mean at all.

They got into line and Izuku gushed over Lunch Rush and asked for the man's autograph.

"Hey, can someone tell me where greenie got that book from?" Tokage asked the rest of the group as Izuku was too busy compiling all of the Cook Hero's accomplishments, the pro blushing a little at the praise.

"As much as I would like to inform you of the origins of Midoriya's notebook, I'm afraid to inform you that I have absolutely no clue as to where he derives it from." Yanagi answered as Izuku smiled happily as he took his book back from Lunch Rush.

The greanette happily got lunch and the rest of the group did as well. "So does anyone else notice that Midoriya just seems to brighten anyone's day?" Kendo asked as they looked for a table, Izuku smiling at any passersby and making them smile back.

"You'd think it's a quirk or something…" Tokage muttered as they found a table. They all sat down, Izuku and Monoma on one side and the girls on the other.

They had all started eating when they noticed Izuku staring at another table, his entire focus on it. "Midoriya, is something the matter?" Monoma asked his friend as he grabbed his shoulder, Izuku's focus seemed to return.

"S-Sorry Monoma-kun, give me a second." Izuku drawled on as he got out of his chair and left the table.

"What's he doing?" Tokage watched him leave towards a table with only one girl sitting at it. She grumbled before detaching an eye and an ear, sending them over to see what was going on and listening. "I'll tell you guys what's going on."

"Tokage you can't do that!" Kendo chastised but it was too late, she could already see the smile on her friend's face as her ocular and hearing devices tracked Izuku.

The greanette approached a table with a lonely brunette, her long bangs covering her eyes, her mouth set in a frown. He locked up, a bit nervous at going out of his way to talk to a girl, but he sucked it up and took a deep breath.

He steeled his nerves before sitting down in front of Komori at her lone table. The girl squeaked in surprise at someone sitting down with her. She got ready for mocks or anything of the sort, but then she noticed it was Midoriya. The only person who was as shy and nervous about stuff as she was.

"H-Hi, K-Komori-chan." He cursed his stutter, he thought he had been doing better but it all came back with a vengeance, but he kept a friendly smile on his voice.

"H-Hi Midoriya-kun….h-how… is the weather..?" Komori wanted to hit herself over the head with the hardest mushshroom she could make.

"It's ah.. pretty good, not too hot, not too cold…"

"W-Well, that's good…" She smiled a little. He didn't laugh at her terrible conversation skills, so that made her happy. She saw Izuku's face locked up in contemplation, he was kneading his hands too. She gulped and decided to go for it. "Is s-something b-bothering you?"

She kept her hands in her lap, she was messing with them. This was the longest conversation she had held with any of her new classmates, it was nerve wracking.

Izuku locked eyes with her, they looked like ones of understanding to her. "D-Do you want to s-sit with us?" He motioned towards the table with everyone else at it.

"He's got the movessss." Tokage smacked the table.

"What do you mean?" Kendo squinted her eyes as her friend grinned.

"I'll tell ya later."

Komori locked up, speechless at the question. "R-Really?!" She shot up out of her chair and almost fell as she reached over and grabbed Izuku's hand. Tears spilled out of her eyes, though Izuku couldn't see because of her bangs.

The greanette blushed but nodded, "Y-Yeah.. you looked lonely.. and I didn't l-like that.." He responded as she let go of his hand, realizing how forward it was. "B-But only if you want to…"

"I-I want to!" She immediately said. Izuku smiled, making her heart thump, as he grabbed her plate, "Come on."

Tokage laughed as she smacked the lunch table. "I didn't know greenie was so smooth!"

Kendo and Yanagi were still wondering what was going on, but Monoma had pieced together what he could. "Though knowing Midoriya, he might be doing everything by accident and not even realize it.."

Tokage stopped and deflated, "You're probably right on that one blondie…."

They all turned to see Izuku and Komori walking over, the two awkwardly making conversation as they both weren't sure on how to have a conversation with someone as equally bad at conversation as they were.

And then Izuku heard the distinct sounds of explosions. Before he knew what was happening he threw Komori out of the way and felt the force hit his side and then the coldness of the floor.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU DAMN DEKU!" The yell cut through the cafeteria. Komori, who was now on the floor after Izuku shoved her away, looked on in horror as Izuku looked on in fear at his tormentor.

"It's that hooligan!"

"That blond prick!"

Both Monoma and Tokage yelled in sync as their group got out of their chairs, Kendo going to help Komori.

"Are you ok?" She asked the shorter girl as she helped Komori up, the brunette nodded but was solely aware of Izuku and how afraid he seemed to be.

"H-He's shaking…" She pointed out, Kendo looking at her in confusion before looking at Midoriya. He was more than shaking, he wasn't moving to defend himself, he was just going to take it.

Monoma came to them and quickly tagged her on the arm before running to his friend in danger. It took a moment but Kendo realized what he had done. "Monoma.."

The ash blonde picked Izuku up by the collar, "WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO THINK YOU CAN SIT IN THE SAME ARENA AS ME! YOU'RE NOTHING!" He sent his arm forward, hitting Izuku in the stomach, and then activating his quirk.

The greanette winced, feeling the familiar sensation of his clothes tearing and his skin being burned. He was sent backwards and hit the floor once more. He brought his hand up and felt his stomach, the muscles that were there were definitely bleeding, he felt it.

'I-I'm b-bleeding! Please don't be too bad!' He looked up and saw the crazed red eyes of.."K-Kacchan…!" He squeaked out, his voice clearly showing his fear with it's high pitch.

He saw the manic smile scared him, but he was ready to receive anything that the boy would do.

And then Bakugo was hurled away by an enormous fist.

Monoma, and Tokage stood defensively in front of Izuku while Yanagi made sure he was ok. "Are you insane?! Attacking another student unprovoked in the middle of the day!" Monoma's fist shrunk down as he tapped Tokage on the shoulder.

The greanette nodded as she understood what Monoma was doing., "My quirk's hard to use, be careful." She muttered, the blonde nodding in return.

Bakugo stood back up and glared at Monoma, "THE HELL, GET OUT OF MY YOU BLOND FUCK!" He had his hands out in fury, his quirk showing off with popping explosions.

The surrounding students finally started reacting, a blue haired boy from 1-A coming up behind Bakugo. "You hooligans! What are you doing, ganging up on one of our students!" He yelled.

Kendo glared at the boy, "If you actually paid attention, you'd realize he attacked one of our students out of nowhere!" She yelled, feeling the urge to use her quirk on the bespectacled blue haired boy.

Komori ran to Izuku's side, kneeling next to him and producing a mushroom. "Midoriya-kun, eat this, it acts as a painkiller, it'll make you feel better." The boy managed to sit-up on the floor and took the mushroom, their handing being connected for a brief moment before he ate it.

'They shouldn't be getting involved in my mess..' He looked at the two standing in front of him, defending him. To the side to see Komori looking worried at his bloody stomach. And then to Yanagi who was holding him up to make sure he didn't slump down to the floor. He sighed as he stood up, Komori yelping in protest and Yanagi telling him to rest, but he stood up anyways.

He grabbed Monoma's shoulder, the boy looking back to see Izuku smiling bitter sweetly. "It's fine, Monoma-kun, don't worry about it." Izuku's smile stretched a bit, so obviously fake.

"But Midoriya-"

"I-It's fine.." His voice seemed to break as he walked past his… friends.

That was still strange, but it was nice. They were willing to defend him, even if he didn't want them to.

"THE COWARD'S COME TO FIGHT ME HIMSELF!" Bakugo laughed as his quirk made more explosions, with each one Izuku flinched and folded in on himself, remembering a distinct beating each time.

It was now that the glasses-wearing blue haired teen realized what was going on, and found the contestant that had completely outperformed him in the entrance exam. "B-Bakugo-kun, it's not well to start fights with our peers!" He tried to fix it.

Kendo bit back a laugh, only now was the guy trying to be useful.

Bakugo didn't pay attention as his manic smile only seemed to get bigger as he prepared to launch off and show Deku his place. The smell of his smoke was so familiar, seeing Deku's crying face, it was nostalgic.

And then he caught the faintest smell of some perfume before it expanded and he felt his eyes closing. "..the fuck..?" He got out before falling to the floor.

"Alright!" A distinctly feminine voice made the hormones of the surrounding boys to go wild, the sound of a whip cracking against stone followed soon after, making a shiver run down their spines. "What's going on?!" The R-Rated Hero Midnight stood in the cafeteria, the Voice Hero: Present Mic by her side.

Both of the 1-A students had passed out, as they were the closest to the pro. Though she didn't send out much of her quirk, as to make sure not too many people passed out, it was enough to make them fall asleep.

Izuku was frozen, Midnight was one of the coolest heroes! Of course now wasn't the best time to gush about pros but he knew he was about to open his mouth and gush, before Monoma stepped forward.

"Ms. Kayama." Monoma bowed, his voice oddly formal for once. He rose from his brow, "This-" He had to bite himself back from calling Bakugo a hooligan or worse, "-person attacked my friend, Midoriya, when he was returning to our table." He explained. "Midoriya was accompanied by someone else, he pushed her away, and then he was hit by this boy's quirk which seems to allow him to create explosions."

They all saw Midnight wince at the last part, her eyes traveling over Izuku and finding his bloody stomach. She pinched her nose and sighed, "Alright, Midoriya go to Recovery Girl, we'll take care of Bakugo, what about this other boy, was he involved at all?"

"He wasn't ma'am."

"Alright.. Zashi you handle everything here, make sure nothing else happens." She said to her fellow pro, the blonde nodding as she left with Bakugo under her arm like a surfboard.

"Midoriya, right?" Present Mic stepped up to the green haired one. "Here, a slip for the nurse's office." He handed Izuku a pink slip, though he noticed how happy the kid looked, "You alright-"

"CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?!" He was in a 90 degree bow, with a book that came from who knows where outstretched, opened to a page of Present Mic doing his famous, "YEAHHHHHH!" Pose.

The pro laughed, ringing a couple of people's ears in the process before signing, "Sure thing little listener!" The blonde smiled a bit at the kid. "Now go to the nurse's office."

"Yes sir-" Komori bumped Izuku's arm, bringing the surrounding attention to her.

She blushed a bit before turning to Present Mic, "Um sure, I h-had Midoriya ingest a mushroom from my quirk, w-will I need to talk to her as well about that?" Her voice was quiet but the blonde pro heard her easily enough.

He scratched his cheek, "Probably yes, I'd go just to make sure."

"O-Ok!"

The two turned towards the rest of the group, "Worry not my friend! Just go make sure you are alright! And perhaps we could go get food after school since you weren't able to finish your lunch, you're welcome to come as well Komori-chan!"

They both nodded, Izuku smiling a bit at the change of pace from middle school before leaving, Komori hurrying to follow after the taller boy.

They were walking the halls, Izuku already knowing where the office was so he didn't need a map. Komori fiddled with her hands, glancing at Izuku, his smile was gone now. He didn't look sad, just kind of dead.

She raised a hand, retracting it before steeling herself and grabbing onto his sleeve. The greanette stopped in his tracks and turned to her, "Is something wrong, Komori-chan?" He sounded so quiet, but still kind like he had always been.

"I- um… what does Deku mean?" She decided to ask that question. But she felt terrible when he seemed to deflate. "I'm sorry if it's sensitive for you!"

He shook his head as they kept on walking, "It's fine… really." He sighed as he thought about it. He didn't know much about Komori, but she seemed really nice so far. Maybe he could tell her. He wanted to find people that he could trust, that he could be friends with.

He wanted friends.

And seeing Komori's banged face, it reminded him of the nice girl from the entrance exam. She was friendly and she smiled. 'I haven't seen Komori-chan smile like that..'

Komori didn't smile, that much was obvious to Izuku. 'I'll make her smile…' He turned to the brunette and let out a small smile, "It's just an.. old nickname. You could read my first name like that.. it means.." He trailed off, not wanting to say it.

"Useless..?" Komori asked and he nodded, they returned to silence as they kept on walking, "W-Well, I think that's the farthest from the truth, for what t-that's worth.." She spoke quietly as she needed her hands.

Izuku looked at her, tears brimming at her words before smiling widely, "Thanks.. Komori-chan…"

"Y-You're welcome.." Komori responded as they arrived.

Izuku sighed before sliding the door open. "Recovery Girl…"

"OH FOR-" Both teens heard the old lady's yell as she hopped off of her chair and strode to the door, Izuku flinching as she readied her cane to smack him, "Give me one good reason not to smack you right now!"

"M-Midoriya was attacked… please… don't…" Komori stood in front of Izuku like a shield. She flinched at the cane but the old lady huffed and put it down.

"Alright, get in here you buffoon. You forgot to come into my office for your finger this morning. Izuku went rigid as he remembered what he was supposed to do, he even told Monoma and Yanagi that he wouldn't forget. He sat down on the bed, "So is there anything I should know, why are you here?" Recovery Girl turned to Komori.

The brunette squeaked, "I can make m-mushrooms… I gave him one that was b-basically a painkiller." She explained.

Recovery Girl nodded, "Alright, that shouldn't mess with my quirk at all." She walked to her desk and pressed a button, a robot with clothes in its hands came in, "For you Midoriya."

The boy took them, a little sad that they were the perfect size. He let out his hand, the nurse kissed it and his index finger returned to its original state, 'I didn't even realize it was in pain… that's a bad thing..'

His stomach healed as well, the blood wiped away by Recovery Girl with a rag. "Alright, now change and get out."

"Yes ma'am…" Izuku seemed deflated as he took off his clothes, hearing a yelp in the corner. He perked his head up in that direction, coming eye to eye with Komori.

"I-I'll get out!" The girl squeaked, slamming the door as she left.

He gaped for a couple seconds, looking at the closed door before he slowly and quietly put on the new uniform, handing the broken one to the robot on duty, it rolled away after. 'I'm so dumb…' Recovery Girl didn't comment on his stupidity as he robotically made his way to the door, only briefly saying, "Don't come back this week." To which he made no promises.

He exited and found Komori leaning on the wall, a small blush on her face. "I-I'm sorry, K-Komori-chan…" He was as quiet as a mouse, the girl shook her. Head.

"I-It's f-fine, Midoriya-kun.. let's go back to c-class.." He nodded and they quietly walked back.

They entered the class, Ectoplasm was up on the board teaching math. "S-Sorry we're late sensei." They both bowed and class resumed. Though there were just more questions up in the air.

From the quirk showcase to the incident in the cafeteria, there were just more questions to ask. What was up with Izuku Midoriya?

The day ended and Izuku sighed as the final bell for the day went off. The class all got out of their seats, either stretching, talking with someone, or leaving was what everyone was doing.

"So, where do you all wish to convene for some cuisine?" Yanagi inquired as their group all got together. She tilted her head at the group.

Tokage wrapped her arms around Monoma and Izuku's shoulders, "I don't know, don't really care, maybe some pizza, but it would be gentlemanly of you guys to pay, right?"

"Tokage.. don't be like that.." Kendo muttered, the greanette didn't budge though.

Izuku was too busy blushing to actually respond while Monoma sighed, "If that's what you wish for I could very much pay for dinner, though you'll have to pay next time, do we have a deal?"

"Deal!" Tokage exclaimed, letting go of both boys.

"Alright, you all have told your parents or families why you'll be out, correct?" Monoma asked the group. They all heard a choking sound as Izuku hastily pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

Tokage smiled as a devious idea came to mind.

Izuku heard barely one ring go off and the phone picked up, "Izuku sweetie, is something wrong?! You almost never call!" She sounded worried. All of the group heard her despite Izuku not having it on speaker.

The boy winced from the loudness, "Y-Yeah mom, I'm fine, I was just going to go with some friends to get some food and h-hang out. I just wanted to let you know." He sighed in relief at hearing her calm down.

"Oh ok, w-well have fun sweetie, ok?" She sounded really happy. In all honesty, she was overjoyed that he was making friends. And was relieved that UA wasn't the same as Aldera.

"I will, thanks mom." He smiled at how happy she sounded. Had he not bringing friends over worry her that much? He was going to hang up until Tokage pounced on him.

The shark teeth girl threw her arm around Izuku's shoulder, "Alright, come on Izuku, bye Mamadoriya!" She smiled and hung up for Izuku, though the split before the line went dead they all heard a scream and a thump.

'Mom passed out…' Izuku sighed as he stuffed his phone, he knew she didn't have work today, maybe sleeping would be good for her? Hopefully? He turned to Tokage, not even noticing that he still had a blush on his face. "T-Tokage-chan… w-why?"

The greanette put her hands behind her head and smiled, "What? We're friends, it's fine if I call you Izuku, right?" She seemed completely carefree at the fact that she most likely had made his mom pass out from… surprise? He wasn't sure the exact medical cause.

Izuku rubbed the back of his head, and he still had a blush on his face. No one had ever called him Izuku before, well besides his mom but that didn't count. It was kind of embarrassing…

But he had never had friends before either, was this just something friends did? He didn't know, but he wasn't afraid to try. "S-Sure, if you w-want to…" He looked away, trying to hide his tomato face.

Yanagi tilted her head as she floated beside him, pushing him so they could start walking to leave the building, "May I refer to you as Izuku as well?" She asked.

The boy went ramrod straight but nodded his head.

"They're gonna kill him, poor guy.." Kendo sighed as the group left out the doors, Monoma shooed both girls away, Tokage pouting and Yanagi moving to float next to Monoma so she could still be near the greanette.

"Worry not Midoriya my friend, I'm sure your mother will be alright, and if Tokage here goes too far, come to me." Monoma advised as he tapped Izuku's shoulder a bit.

Izuku smiled a bit, "W-Will do, Monoma-kun."

They found a pizza place, it was cheap for a group like them and offered a lot of variation without much cost. Monoma had gotten a cheese pizza, Kendo and Tokage got a normal pepperoni, Komori got one with mushrooms on it, Yanagi ordered a special called "The Mystery Pizza" and Izuku got-

"Ok, the fuck, what is that?" Tokage cursed as Izuku got his food.

The greanette rose a brow as he started eating, "W-What? Is something wrong?"

The recommendation student deadpanned at his food of choice. "No, nothing at all. Just me realizing you're a psychopath." She commented.

Izuku now noticed that everyone was looking at him weirdly, "W-What d-did I do?!" He asked with a slight raise in his voice, honestly worried that he had done something to ruin his new friendships.

"Nothing too bad my friend.. but really? Pineapple on pizza? I doubt even 1-A would do something so heinous." Monoma commented and Izuku looked dumbfounded.

"But pineapple on pizza is good!"

"How could you say that! It clashes with the pre established texture and flavor!"

"But that's what makes it so good!"

"It's official! Greenie's insane!"

Izuku found himself smiling as they bickered. They weren't trying to make fun of him or his tastes, it was just friendly banter. It wasn't something he had a lot of, but it was something he hoped to have more of in the future.

Earlier at UA

Aizawa sighed as he entered Nezu's office, he was grateful that he was able to get out of an illogical situation. Izuku Midoriya was a glass cannon and would be useless in the field, but apparently Kan didn't see it that way. He was living a fantasy.

"Nezu, what did you need-"

"CODE VIOLET IN THE CAFETERIA, CAN WE GET ONE TEACHER TO THE CAFETERIA PLEASE." The alarm blared in the small rat's office, said being having a growing smile.

"Well, I do wonder what that is about, shall we check, Aizawa-kun?" The man tilted his head and he could audibly hear his employee gulp. 'I have him on a rope… you are quite the fun one Aizawa, though you don't realize when you've gone too far…'

The man shook his head, "No, if it's alright with you I'd rather not waste time-"

"Oh no! Please, I do insist, it won't take up too much time." Nezu pushed a cup of hot coffee over his desk, the hobo looking man instantly began eyeing it.

"Fine…" He sat down in the chair opposite Nezu's desk and he swore he saw the rat's teeth glint.

The mouse pulled up a video on one of his monitors, turning the device so Aizawa could see. It was security camera footage of what was currently going on in the cafeteria. And it was focused on one person in particular.

"The illogical and useless glass cannon…" Aizawa sighed. Was Nezu trying to teach him a lesson or something? Because nothing was happening, he was just talking with some girl, nothing important. "Sir, I value my time, I'll be leaving."

"Oh but you'll miss the best part Aizawa-kun!" The pro swore that the principal's smile stretched just a tad bit again.

He decided to entertain Nezu for a bit, even if it was a waste of time. Both Midoriya and the girl left her table, going to anyone where he presumed Midoriya's friends were. And then all hell broke loose. He saw a distinct piece of blonde hair come out of nowhere and attack Midoriya.

The principal had even graciously turned the audio on so he could hear their conversation.

Yells, cursing, the word Deku, that and more was thrown around, the smaller boy shaking in fear. His friends went to help him and Iida chastised them for attacking Bakugo. 'I swear that kid…' He could tell Iida was going to be a handful.

He acted like a superior to everyone, but he wasn't. But that wasn't anywhere near Bakugo's superiority complex. The boy thought he was the best of the best, the next number one hero. But he had a strong quirk. So Aizawa was willing to overlook any behavioral flaws.

Midoriya had a strong quirk but it broke him and on top of that he was completely reckless, he had a heroic streak but couldn't back it up.

But from what he was seeing right now. Bakugo and Midoriya were the complete opposite of each other. Midoriya had a heroic streak, and Bakugo had a villainous one.

He glared at Nezu, "What's the point of this?"

The rat's smile dropped and he sighed, "Aizawa-kun, you have cost my institution many applicants, you expelled your entire class last year."

"They weren't worthy of the hero track-"

"And you were?" Nezu stared at him and his smile began to form again, "If I remember correctly, you were in general studies when you first began, no?" He was prodding, and he knew that. And it was oh so fun to do with Aizawa. "And in the entrance exam you weren't able to do much of anything as well."

Aizawa's face was getting dangerously close to a scowl and he loved it! "Those tests are geared towards people with combative quirks. Mine does nothing against robots." Aizawa bit out.

"Ah yes of course! However, you could have gotten rescue points like many of our other applicants, like Midoriya did." Nezu smiled, he knew he was getting the underground hero riled up. "But you didn't Aizawa-kun…"

"I'm done with this-"

"Nezzuuuuuu~" Both occupants heard the cheery cry as Midnight strode into the principal's office.

"Ah Miss Kayama, how's Bakugo-kun holding up?" The principal turned his attention away from Aizawa as they all stared at the passed out blonde in the R-Rated heroine's arms.

"Well, he hasn't woken up, so that's good." She smiled as she plopped the boy down in a chair next to Aizawa.

"Thank you Miss Kayama, you're excused so you can go now if you want."

Midnight slowly nodded"I think I will.." She sent Aizawa a glance before sighing and taking her leave. 'Shouta… you're digging your own grave…'

Nezu's gaze turned back to the tired hero as the door to his office shut, "Aizawa, please wake him up for me!" Nezu ordered and the pro obliged. He knew he was on thin ice already and he didn't want to make his situation any worse than it already was.

He stared at the boy for a second before sighing and blowing some air into Bakugo's ear, the boy jolting awake. "FUCKING DEK- where in the fuck am I?" His voice still sounded angry but also held confusion as well. He turned to the side to see his weird ass hobo teacher and to the front to see a creepy looking rat thing. "Who in the fuck are you?!"

"There is no need to yell Bakugo-kun, I can hear just fine." Nezu commented as he smiled widely. "And who am I? Am I a mouse, a bear, a dog? I'm the principal of UA, Nezu!" The mouse's grin showed his satisfaction as Bakugo's eyes widened. "So, you will behave with me." It wasn't a question, it was a statement.

"I don't have to do jack shi-"

"Bakugo." Nezu interrupted, his smile stretching once again, he was having so much fun today! "You're seat in the hero course- no, your spot at UA is at risk here. You attacked another student unprovoked."

"It's just Deku!" The blonde yelled back, like it was an answer. To him, it was. It always had been and in his eyes, always would be.

"That's not a good enough answer I'm afraid…" Nezu wanted to smoke right now. The boy was so… childish. He was a child, so it did make sense. But he was acting like a spoiled five year old and not a 16 year old who was already on their way to adulthood. "Is there any other reason you might have, Bakugo?"

"Why do I need a reason to put Deku in his place!" The blonde's yelling was getting annoying, but his face made Nezu chuckle.

'He looks more like an animal than I do..' He nodded, "Because attacking someone unprovoked like you did, as well as using your quirk with a license, can put you in prison. I do have a detective friend on speed dial, should I give them a call Bakugo?" The principal smiled so wide you could see his canines.

Bakugo felt a shiver go down his spine as he flinched back. 'WHAT?! GO TO PRISON FOR JUST- God damn you Deku!' He shook his head. He couldn't, he wouldn't go to prison just for putting Deku in his place! He didn't know why this rat bastard cared but he wouldn't let it jeopardize his hero career. "Ok! Now keep quiet, the adults need to talk." Nezu turned to Aizawa.

The man sighed and Nezu continued, "Now Aizawa-kun, I'll be willing to forget about your little incident with Kan, however you will have to make sure Bakugo-kun here behaves better. And no expelling students for the rest of this year on your own, any expulsion requests go through me, is that clear?"

Aizawa gruffly stared at the principal's beady eyes. You couldn't find any emotion in the damn things, it felt like they were staring through you. Well with Nezu's quirk he was staring through you, pulling you apart and finding what made you tick. He often made a game of it.

And Aizawa hated it.

"Yes, understood." The gruff man got out as he stared with disinterest, though inside he was sweating. He couldn't expel people anymore!

"Good, and Bakugo-kun?" The mouse turned towards the student in the chair, the boy was grinding his teeth. He very clearly wanted to say something but held himself back, he didn't want to get expelled or arrested. 'Well look at that, it can be respectful, well that's too much of a stretch.' Nezu thought passively, "If you pull anything like that again, you will be put in General Studies. Anything after that and we will expel you and convene with other hero schools to make sure you can never apply to them, that is of course if the police don't decide to pursue you for criminal activity."

The boy finally showed a different emotion besides anger, surprise. Nezu knew his type. Great and grand during the early stages of their life, everyone saying that they would be the greatest and so on and so forth.

And then they got to the real world and learned what it was like. 'This is probably, no most definitely, the first time he's been reprimanded in school' He could audibly hear the grinding of the boy's teeth as he grit them, eventually he nodded, wallowing in defeat.

The principal clapped his hands together on his desk, "Alright! Now as fun as this was, I do have business to attend to, so please return to your business boys."

Aizawa grunted in displeasure before standing, "Bakugo, come you have your lesson to attend to." Just a normal period where he had the kids do whatever they wanted outside since their first heroics class was tomorrow.

The blonde stood up and left with Aizawa, a scowl on his face the entire time, the door closed behind the two and Nezu's smile dropped.

He pulled out a cigarette and lit it, jumping out of his chair and standing at the window behind his desk. He let out a puff of smoke and sighed, "Computer, pull up the school record of number six applicant Izuku Midoriya." He spoke aloud and his monitor changed before Izuku's record was shown.

He turned to look at it, the previous school shown being listed as "Aldera Junior High." Izuku had many admonishments from his teachers. Too loud in class, causes too many fights, disruptive, the list went on. The mouse hummed, so far Midoriya had seemed like none of the above.

"Computer, pull up the school record of number one applicant Katsuki Bakugo." The screen changed and the saddened face of frowning Midoriya was replaced by the cocky and prideful face of a smirking Bakugo, the same school being listed.

He read and his eyes widened.

Bakugo had a clean record.

He let out another puff of smoke as he thought aloud, "No no no no no, that can't be right, that can't be right at all…." He gazed out his window again, staring down the city of Musutafu, absentmindedly in the direction where Aldera Junior High was located. "Computer, call All Might in."

A few minutes later, came in the Symbol Of Peace himself. Now most would expect a giant man with biceps the size of Elastigril's a-

Something relatively big like a truck or Bakugo's ego.

But instead, what came in was a skeleton of a man who, was giant in terms of heights, but looked like he had suffered from malnourishment on top of being using surgery to cut his fat off his bones.

"Ah Nezu, did you need something my old friend?" All Might asked as he took a seat at a pair of couches, Nezu came over with a cup of tea and sat opposite him after handing the cup to him.

"Yes, yes in fact I did. You picked Midoriya, correct?" The mouse smirked as All Might sputtered, choking on his tea. "I will take your reaction as a yes." The mosque smiled as All Might cleaned himself up.

All Might cursed himself, of course Nezu knew. Nezu knows everything! But he did have to wonder what gave it away, 'Thoughts for another time..' He sighed, "Y-yes, Young Midoriya is my successor, why do you ask?" Had Midoriya done something to catch Nezu's eye? If so the gaunt man would hold a cross and pray for the boy.

"I just have a few questions to ask about your time with him leading up to my entrance exam, if you don't mind of course." The mouse stirred a cup of coffee, caffeine was horrible for his body but he knew he'd be spending a long time awake today.

The tall man waved a hand, "Of course, ask away."

Nezu nodded as he stared at his reflection. "Did Midoriya ever mention his schooling, how his education was going?"

The mouse stared as All Might developed a look of thought, putting a hand on his chin. He shook his head eventually, "No, I don't recall him ever mentioning anything like that. Why do you ask?"

The mouse hummed as he took a sip of his coffee, instantly feeling a surge of energy due to consuming too much for his small body, but it didn't matter. "There was an incident today."

"D-Did Young Midoriya get in trouble?!" All Might instantly asked and Nezu shook his head.

'He's very protective of Midoriya, and they've only known each other for about a year, intriguing.' He shook the thought away and opened his mouth, "No, the incident revolves around another student which attacked him-"

"SOMEONE WHAT!" The buff form of said hero took the skeleton's place as a cerulean orb stared Nezu down, "NAMES, I NEED-"

"The student has already been admonished for his actions and he knows very much the trouble that lies should he continue the path he's going down." The principal answered instead, staring at the pro with his dead eyes. It was funny seeing All Might angry, but now was not the time for it. "They went to the same school, I checked their old records, and they don't make sense."

The pro in front of him shrunk down and looked much more interested as he bent forward with his elbows on his knees and his hands together. His brow was creased to show his obvious anger. "What did you find, Nezu?"

The mouse smiled, "Midoriya had a file filled with marks for disrupting class and even starting fights."

All Might narrowed his eyes, that couldn't be right at all. Izuku was the most heroic soul he had ever seen, besides his master, there was no way in hell he would be starting fights in school, "And?" There had to be more.

"His attacker, not a single mark." Nezu smiled as he saw All Might scowl. "He's shown large signs of anger issues as well as a superiority complex in my short meeting with him, so I know for a fact there is no way that boy would have a clean record."

All Might nodded as he creased his non-existent brows. "You suspect foul play?"

"Yes."

The pro nodded again, "I'll see how Young Midoriya's doing tomorrow after our heroics class, and ask him about his old schooling-"

"You can't do that you buffoon! He'll realize we're on to something and then deny anything about his attacker!" Nezu raised his voice. "Midoriya was going to take a beating to defend his new friends, there's no way he'd tell us anything…"

All Might wanted to curse. "This is so infuriating..!" He wanted to punch something.

Nezu sighed, "I know, but allow me to handle it. If there's anything you can help with I will let you know. Now go, you have a patrol to do."

The Number One stood, straightened out his suit and nodded, his face showing his displeasure in not being able to do anything, "Alright, have a good rest of your day old friend."

"To you as well, Number One." Nezu found himself smiling as the blond left his office, but he also felt himself deflating, the blond giant hadn't been of any help at all. He knew nothing! He sighed and moved towards his desk, sitting himself comfortably in his chair and pulling up his seven monitors.

He narrowed his eyes as he stared at both Midroiya's and Bakugo's records, "Aldera Junior High… you have much explaining to do, perhaps your camera system will help me?"

The entirety of UA staff heard the cackling coming from the top floor of one of the towers of their prestigious campus, All Might shivered as he walked away from his old friend's office.

You never wanted to gain the interest of Nezu, it most times ended in pain or humiliation, sometimes a combination of the two, but it was always bad.

"Izuku Midoriya, once quirkless and now the disciple of Japan's top pro." Nezu smiled as he began to read more into detail into the boy's file. "You are so very interesting…" It always ended badly if you incurred Nezu's interest. But sometimes for the ones surrounded instead of the target of interest.

END

That's the end of this chapter, and I've decided to leave you all with another question. Should Izuku's hero name still be Deku, or something else?
