Boku no Hero Academia: Izuku's Pet Noumu
Disclaimer: This is a mature-rated fanfiction story of Boku no Hero Academia that I am writing for both fluffy and erotic fun. Needless to say, this story is AU, the characters may seem OOC to some and there will be smutty lemons. Also, I own nothing of the series other than the fanfiction stories that I make.
Chapter 10: Internships Part 4
It was the third day of internships and, after a bit of discussion between Mirai, Sorahiko, Rumi, Shouta and Emi, it was decided that Izuku, Wankuro and Hitoshi would take turns to patrol the surrounding area. That way, Eri's safety would be maintained while the three interns would have a chance to go on patrol with either their mentors or their seniors. For the sake of keeping an eye on Eri in case her still-unknown quirk suddenly activated, Shouta and Emi volunteered to stay behind with Hitoshi, Wankuro and Rumi while Izuku, Sorahiko and Mirio set off to patrol the area.
Izuku was not expecting the horde of eager fans, journalists and reporters swarming around him. He was especially intimidated by the aggressive fan-girls who were determined to get his phone number.
By the time Izuku, Sorahiko and Mirio got away from the fans and the press, they were panting as though they had been running a marathon. In fact, they had to use their quirks just to escape from their pursuers and were currently resting on a random rooftop.
"I don't think I'll ever get used to this!" groaned Izuku.
"I'm one of the 'Big Three' and even I don't get this kind of attention!" said Mirio.
"Well, like it or not, you two zygotes better get used to this. Being a pro-hero is as much becoming a beloved symbol or celebrity as it is becoming a protector and saviour these days," said Sorahiko who never liked the idea of being in the limelight. He then straightened his back and admitted, "Though, in hindsight, letting you come out for patrol so soon after those reporters swarmed around Sir Nighteye's agency yesterday might not have been the smartest of ideas, Dekiru."
Izuku chuckled sheepishly in response and asked, "So, do we stick to the rooftops?"
Sorahiko nodded and said, "That would be the best course of action for now."
Mirio grinned at Izuku and Sorahiko and said, "Don't worry about me. I can keep up with you two."
The reporters and journalists who tried to have an interview with Izuku soon saw him, Sorahiko and Mirio leaping across rooftops as though they were classical superheroes from comic books of the pre-quirk era. Needless to say, everyone who had cameras made sure to take pictures or video recordings of the three.
--Meanwhile, at Nighteye Agency…--
Shouta was overseeing Hitoshi's training with Wankuro as the purple-haired boy tried to capture her with his cloth-like capture weapon. Unlike his own capture weapon, Hitoshi's weapon was less durable but easier to control which made it perfect as a training weapon until Hitoshi was ready to use the real deal. He nodded in approval as Hitoshi tried to capture Wankuro by tying the capture weapon around her limbs. Although Hitoshi was clearly inexperienced, he showed both talent and dedication to mastering the weapon. As for Wankuro, she was not allowed to use her claws or flames to avoid damaging the admittedly expensive training weapon but she was allowed to use her full strength and speed to avoid capture.
Standing beside Shouta were Rumi, Kaoruko and Eri who watched the match with keen interest. Eri was amazed by Hitoshi's skill with the weapon and Wankuro's ability to dodge the said weapon. The small girl could barely make out the two interns' movements as Hitoshi continued to manipulate his capture weapon while Wankuro dodged his every attempt.
Once Shouta noticed that Hitoshi was starting to get exhausted, which was no wonder considering that he did not train his body for heroics before the sports festival, he said, "All right, that enough you two. Shinsou, I want you to take a short break and watch Wankuro's next match before you continue your exercise regimen to improve your physical body. Wankuro, you'll be sparring with Miruko now. I want to see how well you fare with her especially after hearing how you two managed to demolish Gran Torino's place."
"Yes, sensei," said Hitoshi and Wankuro.
While Hitoshi walked towards the sidelines to stand with Shouta, Kaoruko and Eri, Remi smirked as she approached Wankuro and said, "Ready to continue our previous match?"
Wankuro smirked and replied, "Hell, yeah!"
Suddenly, Rumi dashed forward and appeared before Wankuro. She then delivered a bone-fracturing kick to Wankuro's chin. However, Wankuro did a full back-flip to dodge the kick without losing her smirk. She landed with a crouch and realised that Rumi had seemingly disappeared. Her ears twitched as she heard a sound from above and immediately raised her arms to block an overhead heel kick from Rumi. Both opponents grinned at one another as the floor of the training room cracked beneath Wankuro's feet.
With an impressive show of strength, Wankuro stood up and pushed Rumi off her. Rumi did a few back-flips in mid-air after Wankuro pushed her off. While Rumi was back-flipping in mid-air, Wankuro leapt towards the pro-heroine with the intention of overwhelming her with ferocious attacks. However, Rumi was one of the top ten pro-heroines for a reason as she suddenly spun around while still upside-down and delivered a powerful kick to knock Wankuro aside. Wankuro blocked the blow with her left arm but it was strong enough to send her flying to the ground. Wankuro's claws grew so that she could quickly regain her footing. She left deep gashes on the floor as she ran towards Rumi who was about to land onto the floor.
As soon as Rumi's hands were on the floor, she spun around to kick Wankuro. The dog-like girl ducked low to avoid the blow and tried to punch her opponent in the face. However, Rumi was able to push herself off the ground with her two arms and did a somersault while kicking Wankuro on the back of her head. The kick was a glancing blow but it was still strong enough to make Wankuro lose her bearings while the rabbit-like pro-heroine landed a short distance away from her and quickly charged forward to attack her.
Sensing incoming danger, Wankuro acted on instinct and leapt forwards to avoid the incoming kick which left a hole on the floor. Landing on all fours, Wankuro shook her head to regain her senses and smirked at Rumi as her muscles started to become tense.
Rumi smirked in return and was about to attack again when Mirai, who had been secretly watching the sparring match after entering the training room, cleared his throat and said, "I think that is enough sparring for you two today." He wore a deadpan expression as he added, "I do not want my office building to share the same fate as Gran Torino's apartment."
Wankuro pouted while Rumi argued, "Oh, come on! This fight was starting to get good!"
"Need I remind you that you two have already caused substantial damage to the flooring of this training room?" asked Mirai who then added, "And that SOMEONE has to pay for the repairs?"
Aware that she already owed Sorahiko for accidentally destroying his apartment, Rumi knew better than to argue with Mirai. Wankuro's ears flattened against her head as she was still ashamed of accidentally destroying Sorahiko's home.
Kaoruko, who was secretly glad that Mirai had stopped Rumi and Wankuro from going too far, asked, "What do you want Wan-chan to do next for her internship, Sir Nighteye?"
Mirai smirked internally as he adjusted his spectacles and said, "I want to see how well she can handle one of the worst parts of pro-heroics, paperwork."
Wankuro's face became pale while Shouta raised an eyebrow and asked, "You do realise that she's severely undereducated due to her past circumstances, right?"
"Yes, I am aware, which is why I have prepared a set of simplified 'documents' for her to handle. Of course, I will evaluate her work after she is done with them and she will have assistance while doing her work," said Mirai.
Shouta rubbed his chin and said, "Well, she does need to learn how to handle her own paperwork eventually so I'm not against your decision. However, I should warn you that she will need a lot of help to get anything done."
Mirai turned his attention towards Kaoruko and said, "And I know just the person who can help her out."
--At U.A. High School--
Nedzu smiled as Shouta and Tensei stood before him with serious expressions on their faces and asked, "What can I do for you two today?"
Deciding to get to the heart of the matter, Shouto looked at Tensei who nodded at him before he turned his attention to Nedzu and said, "Is Midoriya's personal trainer, Yagi Toshinori, All Might?"
A moment of tense silence passed before Nedzu chuckled and asked, "How did you come to this conclusion, Todoroki-kun?"
"While it is true that I have not met Yagi-san until recently, he's never seen together with All Might on the few times that I've met him. Also, I still remember that the villains who attacked us back in the USJ claimed that All Might has gotten weaker and his appearances have been decreasing over the past few years, especially now. In addition, there's the fact that All Might has been paying more attention to Midoriya than the other students even if he tries to hide it. If All Might is indeed Yagi-san, it will not only explain why All Might pays special attention to Midoriya but also his decreasing number of public appearances," answered Shouto.
Amused by Shouto's answer, which was surprisingly compelling, Nedzu asked, "Assuming that you're correct, what do you intend to do about the information?"
"Honestly, I'll respect All Might's decision to keep both his relationship with Midoriya and his other form a secret. However, I am of the opinion that All Might cannot keep the two things a secret for long. Most of the class already know Yagi-san and it'll only be a matter time before they connect the dots and come to their own conclusions which may be similar to mine," replied Shouto.
Nedzu laughed good-naturedly and replied, "Very good, Todoroki-kun! I am truly pleased by your answers."
"So what Todoroki-kun has said about All Might and Midoriya-kun are really true then," said Tensei.
Nedzu sighed and replied, "Yes, I'm afraid that he is. You two should take a seat." He then explained about Toshinori's injury from a powerful villain whose identity was deliberately kept hidden from the public, the same villain who was likely the true leader of the League of Villains, and how Toshinori and Izuku met almost a year before the entrance exams for the hero course in U.A. High School. Of course, Nedzu kept the truth of One For All a secret from both Shouto and Tensei.
After hearing Nedzu's explanation, Tensei sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose as he asked, "How many people know about this?"
"As of now, the ones who know about it are Midoriya-kun and his mother, Wankuro-kun, myself and the rest of the staff of this school, Sir Nigtheye, Gran Torino, David Shield, Detective Naomasa, you two and the villain responsible for All Might's injury," replied Nedzu. Left unsaid was the fact that only Nedzu, Izuku, Inko, Wankuro, Mirai, Sorahiko, Tsukauchi and the villain responsible for harming Toshinori, All For One, knew the truth of One For All.
"I'm guessing that All Might refused to stop being a hero in spite of his injuries because he feared that doing so would allow villains to go on a crime spree not unlike the old days when quirks first arose, correct?" asked Tensei whose tone of voice clearly indicated that he was making a statement instead of a question.
Nedzu nodded with a regretful sigh and replied, "Indeed. In spite of his severe injuries, All Might has been maintaining his position as the Symbol of Peace in the hopes that someone will be able to take his place by the time he has to retire."
"That person is Midoriya, isn't he?" asked Shouto.
"That's partially correct, Todoroki-kun," replied Nedzu who then explained, "While Midoriya-kun is certainly a suitable candidate chosen by All Might himself, there are others who can take his place."
"Such as Tougata-kun, I presume," said Tensei. As a pro-hero, he knew about the Big Three from U.A. High School and that Mirai was Toshinori's former sidekick.
Nedzu nodded and then said, "Among other possible candinates." His eyes hardened as he continued to speak, "I trust that you two understand the need to keep this a secret from everyone, including your own family members."
Both Tensei and Shouto nodded as they understood the need to keep the truth of Toshinori's true form and injury a secret from the rest of the world. However, Shouto had to ask, "You have mentioned that the villain who caused All Might's injury might be the true leader of the League of Villains. Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
"Unfortunately, I do," said Nedzu who then explained, "As dangerous and seemingly charismatic Shigaraki Tomura may be, he's still a man-child of a villain who's unlikely to have the knowledge or skills necessary to create noumus such as Wankuro-kun. However, if he has the backing of that other villain or someone who used to work for him…"
"He would have access to some truly dangerous quick-focused biotechnology," said Tensei whose grim expression hardened at the mere thought of a madman creating an army of monsters who used to be humans and possess multiple quirks.
"Even as we speak, the police and underground heroes are searching for the League of Villains as best as they could. They even managed to locate a few secret labs which were unfortunately emptied out by the time they were discovered," said Nedzu.
"Considering that Wankuro-kun had turned against them, of course they would cut their losses and relocate," said Shouto.
Both Nedzu and Tensei nodded in response before Tensei spoke to the principal of U.A. High School, "Nedzu-san, if you and All Might ever need any help, all you have to do is just let me know. My team mates and I will do what we can to help you both."
"I will keep that in mind," said Nedzu who then smiled and added, "As will our resident Symbol of Peace who happens to be in this room right now."
Surprised, both Tensei and Shouto turned around to see Toshinori, who was in his skeletal true form, standing in front of the closed door into Nedzu's office. The blond man had a regretful smile as he spoke to them, "I'm sorry to have dragged you two into this."
Tensei smiled in return as he spoke to Toshinori, "As a pro-hero, it's my duty to help others, even if that person happens to be the Symbol of Peace himself."
Toshinori chuckled as he replied, "I certainly can't argue that line of thought."
Shouto shook his head with a bitter smile as he thought, "So much for becoming the next No.1 Pro-Hero. If that old man knew the truth about All Might, he'd flip for sure."
Eventually, both Tensei and Shouto left U.A. High School to resume with Shouto's internship. The two of them promised to not only keep Toshinori's condition a secret but also help support the Symbol of Peace and Izuku in any way they could.
--Back to Izuku, Mirio and Sorahiko…--
"Is it just me or is this patrol rather uneventful?" asked Izuku who was currently standing on a rooftop with Sorahiko and Mirio. Other than the run-in with the press and the fans at the start, the patrol was surprisingly peaceful.
Sorahiko snorted as he asked Izuku in amusement, "Were you honestly expecting every patrol to have a life-and-death battle between good and evil?"
Izuku blushed as he looked away from Sorahiko's eyes and replied, "Considering the villain attack at the USJ and what happened on our way to Nighteye Agency… maybe?"
The old pro-hero barked a laugh before he spoke to Izuku, "Not every patrol ends with a battle with villains. In fact, I'd rather have peacefully boring patrols over constant fighting."
Izuku smiled sheepishly and replied, "I may want to be a hero who helps others and brings hope but even I can appreciate peace and quiet." He was already missing the comforting presence of both Ochako and Tsuyu and eagerly waited for the day he could cuddle in bed with them and Wankuro.
"Speaking of peace and quiet, how do you spend your quieter days?" asked Mirio.
"Well, assuming that I have nothing else to do such as training and studying, I mostly enjoy spending time with my family and friends," replied Izuku.
"Does spending time with your family and friends include snuggling in bed with them?" asked Mirio who's grin became distinctively cheeky.
Izuku blushed as he replied, "I'd… be lying if I say no."
Sorahiko shook his head and said, "You should be careful about saying such things, Dekiru. The last thing you want is to have the press incorrectly assume that you're having a sexual relationship with any of your friends."
Izuku shuddered at the mere thought of such a scenario and replied, "Duly noted…!"
--Meanwhile, at Nighteye Agency…--
Due to being a noumu test subject even before she was ten years old, Wankuro was severely undereducated and was thus having difficulty even with the simplified 'documents' which were designed by Mirai to be understood by lower primary school students. She was pressing her hands onto her head as she slowly read them with Kaoruko's help. The blue-skinned girl could have sworn that smoke was starting to rise from the dog-girl's ears.
Eri, who had volunteered to help Wankuro with the 'documents', was also having trouble understanding them. Considering that she was just six years old and was also undereducated, it was no wonder why she had trouble reading the papers. Kaoruko made sure to help Eri and secretly take pictures of the little girl who was pouting cutely while trying her best to do her share of the 'work'.
Less than an hour into the "paperwork training" and both Wankuro and Eri were completely exhausted. The two girls lay on the couch together so that their "overworked brains" could recover.
Although not surprised by Wankuro and Eri's difficulties in handling even simplified paperwork, Mirai was pleased to know that the two girls not only tried their best but also did a little better than expected. Shouta, who was looking over the "documents" as well, asked, "Do you mind letting me have a few copies of these? I'm sure that Nedzu would like to have a look at them and create his own versions of 'paperwork'."
Mirai smirked as he adjusted his spectacles and said, "Of course, I don't mind. In fact, I look forward to seeing what kinds of 'paperwork' Nedzu will create for his students."
It was at that moment that every student from U.A. High School felt a terrible chill run down their spines while Nedzu smirked as he had a feeling that he was going to have a lot of fun after the first years' internships were over.
--Later that day…--
Izuku, Mirio and Sorahiko were eating some onigiri while taking a short break in a quiet park which did not have many people. While they were having their light meal, Izuku asked, "Just curious, what has happened to Overhaul and his remaining follower? I haven't heard anything about them since yesterday."
"I'd be surprised if you did, Dekiru. The Hero Public Safety Commission has decided to keep details of those two a secret from the general public until further notice. Only registered pro-heroes have access to any new information on them," replied Sorahiko who then added, "At any rate, Overhaul's minion is currently locked up in Tartarus Prison and is being questioned even as we speak. He's not very cooperative at the moment but that's a given considering his apparent loyalty to his leader. As for Overhaul himself, he's still in intensive care due to not only his head injuries but also the fact that his fused state is starting to cause problems to his body."
"What kinds of problems?" asked Izuku who started to feel concerned.
Sorahiko sighed as he explained, "As you know, Overhaul fused himself with one of his followers and with parts of the environment around him during our fight that evening. The thing is, the fusion was not meant to be a long-term fusion let alone a permanent one so there are already signs of his health deteriorating due to his immune system reacting to the 'added' parts to his body. It's like an allergic reaction throughout the entire body."
"I see…" said Izuku who had a troubled look on his face.
Realising that Izuku was troubled by Kai's current status, Sorahiko said, "Don't let it trouble you too much, Dekiru. Even if he still had his hands, I highly doubt anyone would have allowed him to fix himself and risk letting him escape or go on a killing spree."
"It doesn't change the fact that Overhaul's suffering a truly horrible fate," said Izuku who did not want to wish such a fate upon anyone.
"True, but it also does not change the fact that you and Wan-chan saved an innocent little girl from a fate that is just as horrible and stopped a villain from exploiting her to his own nefarious ends," replied Sorahiko who then added, "Even All Might can't save everyone."
"I know, but that does not mean that I shouldn't at least try," said Izuku who had an expression of determination on his face.
Mirio smiled as he patted Izuku on the back and said, "That's the spirit, Dekiru!"
Suddenly, the three pro-heroes heard someone clear his throat. They turned their attention towards a slim man with light coloured hair. The man wore spectacles and appeared harmless. However, the three pro-heroes sensed that something was off about the man as he spoke to them in a disarmingly friendly manner, "Pardon me for my rudeness, but I can't help but notice that the famous Dekiru and Gran Torino are with Lemillion instead of Wan-Chan and Miruko."
Izuku was about to respond when Sorahiko stopped him and asked the bespectacled man, "They're currently at Nighteye Agency to not only continue with Wan-Chan's internship but also to help keep an eye on the girl whom we rescued a few days ago."
The man's seemingly disarming smile did not waver as he spoke to the three, "I see, that's a shame. I was hoping to meet the intern who had decided to mutilate a villain just to save a little girl."
Izuku frowned as he spoke in Wankuro's defence, "We didn't have a choice. Overhaul would have killed someone if she had not decided to cut off his hands."
"And what justification do you have to attack Overhaul and his followers unprovoked?" asked the man whose smile twitch ever so slightly.
"Wan-Chan has a keen sense of smell and could smell blood on him. She could also smell the girl's fear and tears," explained Izuku.
"And you chose to trust the senses of a noumu who used to be a tool for villains? I though that heroes are supposed to be smarter than that," said the man.
"Considering both the girl's testimony of her mistreatment and the splatter of blood that we found after fighting Overhaul and his followers, I'd dare dare that trusting Wan-Chan's senses wasn't a wrong choice," said Sorahiko.
"Besides, a hero is someone who does his best to help and save others, even if it means butting into other people's problems," said Izuku.
The man's smile morphed into an angry scowl as he growled, "So you two bastards really do believe that you're in the right for almost killing Overhaul."
"And you're a member of the Shie Hassaikai, a group that apparently has no problems with torturing a small girl for your twisted ends, aren't you?" replied Mirio who assumed a fighting stance alongside with Izuku and Sorahiko.
Veins bulged on the man's forehead as he yelled, "You know nothing of Overhaul and his vision! He was going to purge this world of its cursed disease and bring the yakuza back into power! He's the only honest man I've ever met in this world of liars!"
"By cursed disease, you mean quirks in general, don't you?" asked Sorahiko who then asked, "And what the hell do you mean by Overhaul being the 'only honest man in this world of liars'?"
The man smirked as he asked Izuku a number of questions rapidly, "What is your opinion about the worthless rejects of society? Do you think that there is any point in helping them? What are your deepest regrets? What are your biggest fears? What are your darkest desires? What are your most shameful secrets?"
Suddenly, Izuku felt a compulsion to speak as he honestly answered, "My opinions about the 'worthless rejects' of society largely depends on why they are rejected, what they have done, the reasons for their actions and what they truly wish to do and have in life. For example, if a person is rejected by society simply because of his quirk, be it having a 'weak quirk', a 'freakish quirk', a 'villainous quirk' or even be quirkless, then I honestly think that it is unfair to reject them as members of society. As someone who has been mistreated for years for being 'basically quirkless', it would be horribly hypocritical of me to look down upon them myself. The same thing can be said if the so-called rejects are rejected solely because of their social status and physical appearance. Of course, we have to consider what they have done, the reasons behind their actions and what they actually want. For example, you may claim that Overhaul has a great vision and is the only honest man you have ever met but it does not change the fact that he basically tortured a girl by literally dismantling and reassembling her with his own quirk for the sake of furthering his own goals with no regard to her emotional and mental well being. Another example is the League of Villains who claim to be treated unfairly by society and yet see no problem with turning a young girl into a monster designed to kill people against her will or attacking schoolchildren with murderous intentions or worse. Even if such a wrongdoer comes to sincerely regret his or her past actions later in life, the person will never be able to escape from the truth of his or her crimes even if it can be hidden from the rest of the world. As for whether or not there is any point in saving a reject of society, that will ultimately depend on if the person sincerely wants to be saved and become a better person. Even I know that there are people in this world who simply do not want to stop hurting others even if it will ultimately lead to their own downfall such as the infamous villain, Muscular. That said, there is no denying that there are people who may not want to hurt others but are unable to help themselves due to their quirks. In such cases, the best way to save them is to help them manage their quirks in ways that not only allow them to avoid hurting others but also allow them to live normal lives and not harm themselves. Of course, it is naive to believe that everyone can be saved but that does not mean that we shouldn't try to help and save as many people as we feasibly can. My greatest regrets are failing to save Wan-chan from being taken by the League of Villains and being unable to help my personal trainer and father figure get better. My greatest fears are being helpless as my loved ones suffer and my loved ones turning against me because they deem me as useless. My darkest desires are to spend a whole day cuddling with the girls whom I love while naked and have plenty of intimate and sexy lovemaking with them. My most shameful secrets are accidentally peeing in my bed during primary school due to being scared by a particularly loud clap of thunder during a bad thunderstorm and masturbating to risque pictures of pro-heroines while imagining myself as their lover."
An awkward moment of silence passed as everyone stared at Izuku with dumbstruck expressions on their faces. Realising what he had just said about his darkest desires and most shameful secrets, Izuku blushed and was reduced to a sputtering mess while Sorahiko sighed and asked the yakuza member with a weary expression on his face, "Please tell me that you're not broadcasting this live."
The yakuza member scratched his cheek awkwardly as stared at the pitiful ball of embarrassment named Midoriya Izuku and said, "This… isn't the kind of confession I was expecting…"
--Less than five minutes later, at Gunhead's dojo…--
Gunhead placed his hand over his mouth as he blushed and spoke in a scandalised manner, "Oh, my…!"
Momo placed her hand over her lips as she blushed and spoke in a scandalised manner, "Oh, my…!"
Ochako was blushing to the point that her face looked like it was about to spontaneously burst into flames as she hid her face behind her hands and floated to the ceiling of the dojo. The most embarrassing part about hearing Izuku's obviously forced confession was the simple fact that she actually liked the idea of cuddling Izuku while naked and having intimate sex with him. She also felt a spike of jealousy at the idea of Izuku masturbating to pictures of pro-heroines.
--On the Oki Mariner…--
Selkie rubbed scratched his cheek as he spoke with a blush on his face, "He's… definitely a teenage boy."
Sirius blushed as she wondered if Izuku had ever masturbated to pictures of her.
Tsuyu curled up into a ball and hid her blushing face behind her hands as she thought, "This is so embarrassing, kero!"
--At Nighteye Agency…--
Shouta was once again slamming his head onto a random wall while groaning, "That. Problem. Child. Is. Going. To. Give. Me. Grey. Hairs. And. Stomach. Ulcers. At. This. Rate!"
Emi struggled to stand as she leaned against a wall and laughed until her stomach hurt.
Both Eri and Wankuro turned their attention towards Rumi, who was blushing at the possibility of Izuku masturbating to pictures of her, and asked innocently in unison, "What's lovemaking and masturbating?" Rumi's blush spread to her entire face as she struggled to give an answer while Emi laughed even harder and both Kaoruko and Centipeder looked away with blushes on their faces.
Mirai sighed as he adjusted his spectacles and thought, "Well, at least he kept the secrets of All Might's condition and One For All safe."
--At a certain hero office…--
Minoru, who was currently being treated like a manservant, smirked smugly as he yelled, "HA! I knew that he's pervert!"
A voluptuous young woman with voluminous cream-blond hair and purple eyes with while pupils named Takeyama Yuu, who was also a pro-heroine named Mount Lady, smiled as she thought, "So he masturbates to pictures of pro-heroines. I wonder if I'm one of them."
--At U.A. High School…--
Toshinori was blushing as he realised that Izuku not only saw him as a hero but also as a father figure. The fact that he had recently started dating Inko only made his embarrassment worse while Nemuri smirked at Inko and asked, "Did you happen to find any pictures of me in his 'secret collection'?"
In spite of the confession, and a very real concern that someone was actively trying to ruin Izuku's reputation as a future pro-hero, Inko could not help but blush as she recalled finding pictures of various pro-heroines beneath his bed. The pictures were not blatantly pornographic but they certainly showed off the pro-heroines in rather… sensual ways. Among the pro-heroines in Izuku's 'secret collection' included Nemuri, Rumi, Yuu, Shino, Ryuuko and Tomoko.
Inko's blush made Nemuri's smirk broaden as she cheerfully said, "I'd take that as a yes!"
--Back to Izuku…--
As it turned out, the yakuza member who had forced Izuku to reveal his secrets, Nemoto Shin, was trying to get revenge against the people who had attacked Kai by first ruining their reputations followed by leading an attack against them. The other members of the yakuza who volunteered to help Shin included a tall and lean young man with almond-shaped eyes that had small irises and prominent dark circles around them, gold-blond hair and a wide mouth with straight teeth named Setsuno Touya, a tall and muscular bald man with shadowed eyes and no facial hair named Houjou Yuu and a slim man with round eyes that had dark eye bags, short unruly black hair and a large mouth with straight teeth named Tabe Soramitsu.
For the sake of avoiding confusing Setsuno Touya with a certain elder son of the Todoroki family and Houjou Yuu with a certain pro-heroine named Takeyama Yuu, the author would use the surnames of the two yakuza members.
Shin, whose desire for revenge died after hearing Izuku's long-winded confession, sighed as he spoke honestly, "The four of us are members of the Eight Bullets in the Shie Hassaikai. We are basically the thrash that society has decided to leave to rot until Overhaul saw use in us."
Mirio frowned at the four men who volunteered to wear quirk-suppressing handcuffs and said, "You're awfully willing to give up and cooperate for someone who has just tried to ruin Dekiru's reputation before attacking us."
"My quirk forces people to confess the truth. This means that everything that boy said is all true," explained Shin who then turned his attention to Izuku and added, "Which also means that he not only sincerely cares about the worthless rejects of society but was even treated like thrash in the past, just like us."
Izuku, who was somehow able to overcome his initial feelings of embarrassment, nodded and asked, "You heard what I said in the sports festival, right?"
"We did but we didn't think that you were actually serious," said Setsuno. When he and the other members of the Eight Bullets saw a recording of Izuku's pledge, they honestly thought that he was making stuff up and was putting up an exceptionally good act. However, given the recent revelation, they realised that Izuku was much more sincere when he had made his pledge than initially expected.
Izuku nodded and replied, "If it wasn't for Wan-chan and my desire to honour her memory, I honestly don't know what kind of person I would have become. He then looked at the four men and asked, "What happened to you four?"
Seeing the genuine concern in Izuku's eyes in spite of what had happened, Shin sighed and confessed, "For as long as I remember, people have always lied to me until I used my quirk to force them into confessing the truth. It's… hard to have any faith in humanity if every person you have ever met is a liar, you know?"
"But what if even one of them actually has a good reason to keep something a secret even if it means lying to thers?" asked Mirio. Both Izuku and Sorahiko were glad that Mirio asked the question as they did not want to risk revealing the secret of One For All.
"If by a good reason you mean for the greater good of society or even humanity as a whole, I've yet to meet such a person," said Shin who wore a bitter expression on his face before he added, "As far as I know, only Overhaul has been honest with me about his ambitions no matter how cruel his methods and intentions are."
"What about the rest of you?" asked Sorahiko.
"I was cheated by my lover and was incurred with debt. My life was so bad because of the debt that I was considering killing myself when Overhaul basically saved me by giving me a new purpose," said Setsuno. Izuku wore a frown as Setsuno's explanation made him recall a certain "suggestion" from Katsuki which involved jumping off a building and hoping for a quirk in his next life. Setsuno then pointed his thumb at Soramitsu and said, "As for Tabe here, he's constantly hungry no matter how much he eats due to his quirk. Trust me, even near-constant hunger sucks and can drive just about anyone insane. I've experienced it myself."
"I was offered a job to create crystals for sale. However, the crystals were deemed as useless and I was beaten within an inch of my life before getting discarded. Just like Setsuno, I was saved and given a purpose by Overhaul," explained Houjou.
"In other words, you're all devoted to Overhaul because he has basically saved you even though you know that he probably sees you as nothing more than mere pawns for his schemes," said Sorahiko.
"When you're just thrash that's left to rot and die by basically everyone else, even being an expendable pawn is a massive improvement in status," said Setsuno who then turned his attention to Houjou and Soramitsu and added, "Besides, serving him also allowed us to find people whom we could relate with."
In spite of the situation, Izuku felt genuine sympathy for the four yakuza members. He knew what it was like to be basically betrayed by someone whom he thought could be trusted, to be deemed as useless by others and to suffer because of a condition he did not ask to be born with. Therefore, he asked, "If you four were given a chance to somehow turn your lives around and maybe even atone for what you had done as members of the yakuza, would you take it?"
Surprised, the four yakuza members, Sorahiko and Mirio stared at Izuku for a moment before Setsuno said, "Not that I'm against avoiding rotting in prison but if you know even half the shit we've done and allowed to happen, even you'll realise that we're already damned to be villains and criminals for as long as the current rules of society still stands."
"Besides, like what you've said just now, Overhaul exploited that girl and we allowed it to happen. We didn't even oppose him when he put our original leader into a coma. Do you really think people will give us a chance?" asked Houjou.
"It doesn't have to be a lot of people. Even one willing person can make a difference," said Izuku whose voice was firm with conviction.
"And you'll be that person? Even after we tried to ruin your reputation before attacking you?" asked Shin.
Izuku blushed as he replied, "Well, it's not like you forced me to lie about anything even though you made me say certain things I'd rather keep hidden. Also, you four practically gave yourselves in after hearing my confession."
"He does have a point about that last one," admitted Houjou. Just like Shin, his desire for revenge died down after hearing Izuku's unusual confession which was not only much longer than expected but also revealed that he truly was a good person at heart and not some "model citizen" who was actually scum. True, Izuku had just confessed that liked the idea of cuddling with the girls whom he liked while naked and had masturbated to risque pictures of pro-heroines but Houjou had heard far freakier confessions from a lot of other people. In fact, other than the implication that Izuku was attracted to more than one girl, the boy's confession was practically tame and vanilla.
"Besides, a hero is someone who does what he can to save people, even the broken and the forsaken," said Izuku who then smiled as he added, "Just like how Wan-chan basically saved me by being my friend in spite of myself being a pathetic loser all those years ago."
"A hero… huh?" said Shin who then warned, "Then I suggest that you keep an eye out for the League of Villains."
Izuku's was surprised for a moment before expression turned serious as he asked, "They tried to recruit you after Overhaul's capture, didn't they?"
"That smug hand-job ass-hole told us to switch sides to join him after calling Overhaul a, and I'm quoting here, 'noob scrub who got owned by a brat, his pet noumu, an old geezer and a rabbit'. The fucker even acted as though he wasn't responsible for basically handing that noumu to your side after losing nearly his entire league to a bunch of students and their teachers," growled Setsuno.
"Four of us joined him when he made that offer yesterday," said Houjou who then added, "I'm pretty sure you pro-heroes know what that means."
Izuku turned his attention to Mirio and Sorahiko who nodded in understanding. It was clear that the League of Villains was trying to recruit more members and was already taking advantage of the loss of leadership in the Shie Hassaikai. He then turned his attention back to Shin and asked, "Why are you telling us this?"
"The bastard is even more disrespectful towards Overhaul than you are, which is saying a lot considering that you've done to him," said Shin who then added, "Besides, it's not like we have anything to lose from telling you about him and, who knows, maybe you two will end killing one another in the end or something."
Just then, the police arrived to take the four men to prison. Izuku easily recognised Naomasa who was leading the police force towards them. Although the boy knew that Shin and the other three yakuza members still had a grudge against him for not only defeating Overhaul but also for unintentionally causing him a great deal of suffering, he gratefully replied, "Thank you, for telling us about the League of Villains."
"Just don't grow up to be fucking disappointment like the four of us or worse," said Setsuno.
Before the police could take the four yakuza members away, Izuku kindly offered an uneaten Onigiri to Soramitsu and said, "I know that this isn't much, but I'd like you to have this before you go."
Surprised by the offer, Soramitsu, who had been quiet for the while time, stared at the onigiri for a moment before he took it and ate with one big gulp. He then said, "Eel onigiri. Tastes good."
Naomasa raised an eyebrow after seeing the exchange and asked, "You're giving food to a villain even though they have basically humiliated you?"
"It's… a bit complicated and personal," said Izuku.
"Well, if you say so," said Naomasa who then wore a serious expression and asked, "Now, what was it that I have overheard about the League of Villains trying to recruit people?"
--Later that night…--
Izuku, Mirio and Sorahiko had to sneak into Nighteye Agency as though they were thieves by entering through the rooftop. Thankfully, Sorahiko had informed Mirai beforehand so Centipeder was present to welcome the trio back into the agency building.
Had Izuku, Mirio and Sorahiko tried to enter the building through the front door, they would have been overwhelmed by the press for certain.
Before long, the three pro-heroes stood before Mirai and said, "In spite of certain… 'embarrassing revelations', I'd dare say that your patrol was a rather successful one."
Sorahiko sighed and said, "Even though we were expecting a possible retaliation from the Shie Hassaikai, I don't think even you were expecting such a direct attack on Dekiru's reputation through a forced honest confession."
Mirai nodded and replied, "Admittedly, I wasn't. That said, it's a good thing that it was Izuku who had been forced to confess."
Izuku blushed and said, "Is there any reason in particular why that is the case?"
"For starters, you have just proven to everyone that you truly want to help people, even villains. As for the… more embarrassing portions of your confession, well, you're a teenage boy who's also a hopeless fan of heroes so I'm confident that the general public and even the pro-heroes will be willing to give you a free pass. Even your darkest fears are something which most people can relate to."
"Besides, can you even imagine what would have happened if they had tried to make me confess? I've lived long enough to have my fair share of deep regrets I'd rather not reveal to anyone," said Sorahiko.
Izuku sighed and said, "I suppose that's true." Considering that Sorahiko was All Might's mentor who also knew the truth of One For All, Izuku knew that letting the old pro-hero confess instead could potentially lead to an even bigger mess.
"I'll be sure to contact Nedzu and discuss with him on how to deal with the League of Villains. It is clear that they are making a move again and it'll only be a matter of time before they decide to attack," said Mirai who then added, "I also want you to stay behind with Gran Torino tomorrow. There is much we we need to discuss about your quirk."
Izuku nodded as he understood that both Mirai and Sorahiko wanted to discuss with him about One For All. The boy then asked, "Is there anything that needs to be addressed now, Sir Nighteye?"
Mirai shook his head and said, "No, that will be all for today. That said, I recommend being prepared to explain about 'the birds and the bees' to Wan-Chan and Eri." He could not help but smirk as he added, "Those two have been pestering Miruko and Bubble Girl about it for the whole day."
Izuku's blush returned in full force as his face seemingly glowed pink. Amused by his reaction, Mirio slapped his hand onto Izuku's back and said, "Don't worry too much about it! I'm sure that you'll do just fine!"
"I'll have a apologise to Bubble Girl and Miruko first though…" said Izuku who was not looking forward to seeing them again after confessing that he had masturbated to pictures of pro-heroines.
--Meanwhile…--
"You seem awfully… pleased today," said Tsunagu who noticed that Katsuki's mood had improved after hearing Izuku's forced confession earlier that day.
Katsuki smirked at Tsunagu and said, "Yeah, and what of it?"
Tsunagu frowned as he asked, "It doesn't have anything to do with Dekiru being forced to confess the truth about himself, does it?" As the pro-hero responsible for teaching Katsuki, he knew about the blond's issues with Izuku. Even so, he hoped that Katsuki had enough self-awareness to actually realise what was right and wrong.
Realising that Tsunagu did not approve, Katsuki frowned and growled, "So what if it fucking does?"
A moment of tense silence passed before Tsunagu sighed in obvious disappointment and said, "Bakugou Katsuki, do you even realise what you're doing?"
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" demanded Katsuki.
"You've basically admitted to me that you're happy that something bad has happened to your own classmate who might end up being your colleague as a pro-hero," replied Tsunagu whose eyes narrowed as he added, "How would YOU feel if someone mocked you after something bad had happened to you?"
Katsuki clicked his tongue and argued, "It's Deku's own fault for being so fucking useless that he let that villain use his quirk on him. If it had been me, I would have just blown the fucker up before he can even do anything to me."
"And what if he had succeeded in using his quirk on you regardless? What if he had managed to force you to confess your deepest regrets, biggest fears, darkest desires and most shameful secrets? What kinds of answers would YOU have given in response?" asked Tsunagu who then added, "That's not even counting the other two questions which, quite frankly I can already answer for you as you clearly not only have nothing but contempt for the 'worthless rejects' of society but even see no value in helping them at all."
In spite of himself, Katsuki hesitated as he was forced to consider the possibility of himself being forced to answer the questions. There was also the fact that Tsunagu had accurately assumed Katsumi's opinions about the 'worthless rejects' of society and spoke with so much cold disapproval that it actually unnerved him. His unnerved expression quickly changed into a heated glare as he yelled, "What the fuck is wrong about that, huh?! A worthless fucker is a worthless fucker no matter what he does so he should just stay down where he belongs!"
"Like how you wanted Dekiru to remain worthless and not attend U.A. High School even though he's the main reason why Wan-Chan had not gone on a murderous rampage at the USJ?" asked Tsunagu who was beginning to show his frustration towards Katsuki. Although Katsuki was arrogantly prideful and aggressively spiteful, even he knew better than to dismiss the fact that Izuku was able to stop Wankuro from hurting or killing anyone. Even more galling, it was mainly Izuku's close bond with Wankuro that allowed him to stop her rampage before it could even begin. Unable to argue back, Katsuki looked away from Tsunagu's glare with a displeased look on his face.
Tsunagu sighed and said, "A pro-hero, let alone a real hero, is so much more than just someone who is strong. He's someone who will put his own life on the line to help and protect others no matter the odds stacked against him. You may have great power but, with the way that you are now, you're nowhere near ready to be a pro-hero."
Angered by Tsunagu's claim, Katsuki yelled, "What the fuck do you mean I'm nowhere near ready, you fucking fashion disaster?!"
"They fact that you think that 'worthless' people are not worth your time and effort already tells me that you do not have what it really takes to be a hero," said Tsunagu who towered over Katsuki as he started asking, "Tell me, what exactly fits YOUR definition of a 'worthless' person anyway? Is is someone who's too badly injured to help himself? Is is a young child who has not even manifested his quirk yet? Is it a mother who's unable to run away because she can't leave her own child behind? Or is it a person who has suffered so much abuse that he can barely even function as an individual?" Intimidated by the pro-hero's calm fury, Katsuki stared at Tsunagu with wide eyes as the man spoke to him, "As long as you continue to view everyone else as beneath you, you will never be a real hero let alone one on par with All Might." The pro hero then turned around and said, "Also, as much as I sympathise with Dekiru for being an unwilling victim of a forced confession, at least his confession has done nothing too damaging to his reputation and future. If it had been you who was forced to confess the truth, your future as a pro-hero could have been ruined beyond any hope of repair."
Tsunagu did not even wait to listen to Katsuki's response as he left him to be alone with his thoughts. As for Katsuki, he was close to exploding in sheer fury as he yelled his thoughts aloud, "What… the fuck does that suppose to mean…!?"
The only response that Katsuki received was deafening silence…
--Back at Nighteye Agency…--
Izuku was sitting on the rooftop of the agency building as he thought about the four members of the Eight Bullets. Although Naomasa had assured Izuku that his statements about their cruel circumstances would be taken into consideration, he knew that the four men had every right to believe that they would not be given a chance for redemption. While thinking about the four men, Izuku frowned as he recalled one particular confrontation with Katsuki…
--Flashback to the previous year…--
Katsuki was furious that Izuku had applied to enter the hero course of U.A. High School. It was already bad enough that Izuku had caused him to receive mandatory counselling for his "so-called problems" which lasted for several months during their second year in Aldera Junior High while Izuku took the same counselling and was deemed as mentally sound within a week. Not only had that put a permanent mark on his student record which was supposed to be perfect but it also made the teachers more critical of his aggressive actions.
Not surprisingly, Katsuki was not going to let Izuku enter U.A. High School without giving him a piece of his mind, "Deku, you worthless fuck!"
Izuku glared at Katsuki with a guarded posture as he asked, "What is it this time, Bakugou?"
"You think that a prestigious hero school like U.A. High School will accept a worthless fuck like you?" yelled Katsuki who then added, "You don't even have a piss-weak quirk! You're a quirkless waste of space who's got nothing!"
"Are you done trying to scare me into giving up my dream?" asked Izuku who was clearly unimpressed and then said, "I'm not naive enough to think that I have a good chance to enter the hero course of U.A. High School but that doesn't mean that I'm not going to at least try. If the school does decide to accept me, it'll be because I'm actually worth a damn and not out of hollow pity."
Tempted to attack Izuku yet somehow able to control himself to avoid getting any more problems with his record, Katsuki growled, "If you want to be a hero so bad, here's one time-saving method to get one." He smirked as he yelled, "Go and take a swan dive off a building and hope for a quirk in your next life!"
Shocked by Katsuki's words, Izuku was stunned for a moment before he glared at Katsuki with tearful eyes and softly asked, "And YOU think you can be a hero like All Might?"
"You want a fucking fight, Deku?" growled Katsuki whose hands were starting to spark.
"That depends, you want me to actually die and let my death be ANOTHER mark on your record?" asked Izuku. Katsuki's eyes widened as the sparks on his hands died down. Seeing that the blond boy was at a loss for words, Izuku turned around and said, "I'm going to try my best to enter U.A. High School and that's final."
Izuku did not bother to turn around as he left Katsuki behind with his cronies…
--End of flashback…--
Izuku looked heavenward as he thought, "If Wan-chan was never a part of my life and I only had Bakugou as a childhood friend, would he have even cared if I actually committed suicide?"
"You seem troubled about something."
Surprised, Izuku turned his attention towards Rumi who smiled at him and asked, "Mind if I sit with you?"
Blushing at the memory of his confession, Izuku stammered, "N-no, I d-don't mind if you want to."
Rumi snickered at Izuku's embarrassment, Rumi said, "Relax, kid. You're not the first horny teenage boy to imagine having sex with a pro-heroine and you won't be the last."
Izuku's blush only grew as he looked down to find an interesting spot on the rooftop to stare at. Amused by Izuku's reaction, Rumi sat down next to Izuku and asked, "So, why aren't you sleeping with Wan-chan and Eri?"
"It's… about those yakuza members earlier today," said Izuku.
Aware that Izuku sympathised with the four men who had suffered in the past, Rumi asked, "Do you want to talk about it?"
A moment of silence passed before Izuku said, "I… could have ended up becoming like them if I had never met Wan-chan in my life."
"Let me guess, it has to do with you being basically quirkless for most of your life, right?" asked Rumi.
Izuku nodded and said, "I actually used to have another childhood friend whom I was really close to. However, after I was diagnosed as quirkless, he started to see me as a 'Deku', as someone who's worthless. If Wan-Chan hadn't been around to be my real friend, I might have ended up being stuck in a toxic relationship with him instead."
"You don't have any other friends?" asked Rumi.
Izuku shook his head and replied, "I was never a popular kid back then and, being quirkless, no one really wanted to be associated with me other than Wan-chan. Even worse, my other childhood friend started to bully me until I realised that he was no longer my friend. After I made that realisation, we basically became enemies."
"So what happened to that enemy of yours? Did he end up becoming a member of a villainous gang or something?" asked Rumi.
Izuku snorted in amusement as he replied, "No, he's currently a student of U.A. High School too. In fact, he's my classmate."
"Damn, that's got to suck," said Rumi who then asked, "How come you didn't ask your teachers to have him transferred to another class at least?"
"Honestly, I don't really know," said Izuku who then added, "On one hand, he's an uncaring bully who probably won't even care if I die the next day. On the other hand, he used to be my friend a long time ago and I want to prove him wrong by being a hero in spite of him trying to put me down."
Rumi blushed a little as she saw Izuku's determination in his eyes and, unable to resist the temptation, put her hand onto his head and started petting him. She noted the soft fluffiness of his hair as she smiled and spoke to him, "You really are a good person at heart, aren't you?"
Surprised by the petting, Izuku blushed as he stammered, "M-Miruko?"
"You can call me Rumi when we're off duty," replied Rumi who then decided to tell her his story, "You know, you're not the only one who had to go through life being deemed as lesser by others."
Surprised and confused, Izuku asked, "Are you saying that you went through it too?"
Rumi nodded and explained, "Rabbits aren't exactly known for being awesome predators. Sure, it was fine when people called me cute because I had my rabbit ears and tail even as a small kid but then people started assuming that I was a cowardly weakling or, worse, a horny slut who wants to breed like a rabbit." Izuku's eyes widened in shock as Rumi continued to speak, "Part of the reason why I wanted to be a pro-heroine was to prove those bastards wrong. Before I knew it, I ended up being one of the top ten pro-heroes in all of Japan." She grinned smugly as she added, "It sure as hell as satisfying seeing some of those ass-holes eat their words."
Izuku chuckled as he replied, "I can certainly imagine." He then felt ashamed as he spoke, "About the things I was compelled to confess… I…"
Before Izuku could say anything, Rumi gently pinched his cheek and said, "Didn't you hear what I said just now? You're not the first horny teenage boy to imagine having sex with a pro-heroine and you sure as hell won't be the last." She then grinned at him as she added, "Besides, if I'm going to have sex with anyone, I'd rather have sex with you than some random stranger on the street."
Rumi's statement made Izuku blush as he stammered, "R-R-Rumi-san!"
Unable to resist laughing at Izuku's embarrassed expression, Rumi wrapped her arm around Izuku's neck and ruffled his hair in a boisterous yet undeniably affectionate manner with her other hand. The boy's blush grew as he realised that his face was pressing against the side of her breast.
By the time Izuku went to bed to sleep with Eri and Wankuro, his heart and conscience felt lighter than before thus allowing him to sleep peacefully. As for Rumi, she slept while thinking of getting herself something soft and fluffy to cuddle with at night.
--The following morning…--
Izuku smiled at Wankuro as he spoke to her, "Take good care of yourself and try your best not to get hurt!"
Wankuro, who was going out on patrol with Rumi and Centipeder, grinned at Izuku and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine!"
Rumi grinned at Izuku and said, "Your sister's in good hands."
"I know, Miruko," said Izuku who had such a bight smile that it made Rumi blush and look away from his smiling expression.
Eri, who was holding Izuku's hand, tilted her head and innocently asked Rumi, "Do you want to make make love to Izuku-niichan?"
Rather than answer the question, Rumi immediately turned around to hide her blushing face. She then grabbed Wankuro by her collar and literally dragged her out of the agency building while yelling, "See you all later!"
Wankuro had an adorably cute yet comical expression of surprise on her face as Rumi dragged her out of the building while Centipeder gave a short bow and said, "I'll keep an eye on those two." He then winked at Izuku before leaving the agency building.
After Rumi, Wankuro and Centipeder had left, Mirai, Sorahiko, Kaoruko, Shouta, Emi, Hitoshi and even Eri stared at Izuku who hid his blushing face behind his free hand as he mentally groaned, "This is SO embarrassing!"
--End Chapter--
Author's Notes:
Thus ends the third day of the internship arc. Just to let everyone know, I used information from the BNHA wiki to describe the mentioned members of the Eight Bullets from the Shie Hassaikai.
Speaking of the mentioned members of the Eight Bullets, I hope that I did their characterisations at least some level of justice (as in not too OOC) in this chapter as people who are loyal to Overhaul and yet know that Overhaul generally does not care for other people. I also wrote this story with the idea that they would be so dumbfounded by Izuku's "wall of honest speech" that even their vicious intentions would die down. After all, Izuku of all people would know what it's like to be seen as a reject of society and Shin quirk essentially ensures that Izuku's words can actually be taken seriously.
I plan to post one more chapter to cover the fourth day (and maybe even the fifth day) of internships before going back to 'Izuku's Harem Academia'.
Until next time, go beyond, plus ultra!
