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 12: Internship Part 6

Nedzu wore a grim expression as he spoke on the telephone, "I understand, please get them here as soon as possible." After he had ended the call, he immediately pressed onto the announcement button and said, "Recovery Girl, please prepare a makeshift infirmary. We have an emergency situation."

"If you're talking about the three noumu attacks, I'm already preparing the place even as we speak," said Chiyo.

"Not quite, I want the infirmary prepared for the three noumus," replied Nedzu.

Although no surprised, as the online video recordings clearly showed at least two of the three noumus being in pain, Chiyo had to ask, "What has happened to them?"

"Apparently, they have been poisoned. It's likely a safety measure to prevent them from turning against the League of Villains," said Nedzu.

Chiyo frowned as she replied, "I understand. However, if that poison is as potent as I fear, it may be already too late to save them."

"I know, which is why Eri-kun will be coming here as well," said Nedzu.

"Eri-chan? Why her in particular?" asked Chiyo.

"She may be the only one who can save them," replied Nedzu before he started making some more phone calls…

--A few minutes ago…--

Izuku, who was holding Vampire in his arms, cried out in desperation and anguish, "Someone, please help her!"

Bloody tears streamed from Vampire's eyes as she continued to convulse and suffer in agony. The noumu was dying and the people who had stopped them could do nothing to save her.

In spite of his lingering grudge towards Izuku, Shin could not bring himself to ignore Izuku's desperate pleas for help as he stepped forward and said, "There may be a way to save her."

Izuku turned his attention towards Shin and asked, "How?"

Shin sighed and said, "Personally, I'd like to suggest restoring and freeing Overhaul but I doubt even you will agree to that if only because there's no guarantee he won't try to kill you let alone help you. However, there is someone else who might be able to help."

"You're referring to 'her', aren't you?" asked Mirai who then said, "We received a report about her quirk from your interrogation earlier today."

Shin nodded and said, "As long as the noumu's still alive, there's a chance that she can be restored."

Mirai nodded before he turned his attention to Mirio and said, "Lemillion, get an ambulance to come here and send us straight to U.A. High School. I will contact Bubble Girl to bring the others there and Nedzu to prepare for our arrival."

Mirio nodded and replied, "Understood, Sir Nighteye!" He then set off to get some paramedics.

"So… what's going to happen to us?" asked Houjou.

"Are we going to be in trouble? Bring it on, bitches!" said Jin.

"For now, you lot will have to go back into prison," said Mirai who sounded apologetic before he added, "That said, I'll see to it that Nedzu learns about your involvement with today's incident. If there's anyone who can pull a few strings to help you, it'll be him."

"I guess that's as good as we're going to get all things considered," said Setsuno who then turned his attention to Izuku and said, "Mad-lad, I hope for your sake that busting us out of jail was worth it. That's the kind of shit that can get you expelled from a hero school."

"Let us worry about Dekiru's situation. I suggest that you five return to whatever is left of your cells in the mean time." said Sorahiko who was already dreading the paperwork he would have to deal with.

The five inmates of the prison nodded and wished Izuku good luck before they returned to their cells which had been torn open. Many guards and inmates stared at the five men in disbelief as they simply sat down in their respective cells and started talking about their respective encounters with Izuku and Wankuro.

--A short while later, in Hosu…--

"I understand, we'll send her to U.A. High School right away," said Masaki who then announced, "Everyone, we're going to send her to U.A. High School!"

Tenya's eyes widened as he asked, "Is Recovery Girl going to save her?"

"I'm not sure, but the sooner we get her there the better her chances of surviving this," replied Masaki.

Eijirou and Tetsutetsu, who were in a state of panic and despair earlier, nodded at Masaki before they quickly lifted Minotaur, who was even taller and larger than Wankuro, to the nearest ambulance that had arrived at the scene…

--Meanwhile, in a separate location…--

"Understood, we'll send her there as soon as we can," said Death Arms who then announced, "Everyone, we need to cut that noumu free and send her to U.A. as soon as possible!"

"Why there instead of a hospital?" asked Yuu while Minoru and Kyouka desperately helped to free Puppet by using Minoru's newest support item. It was a spray bottle that contained a fluid which harmlessly removed the stickiness of the balls in case no one could wait for them to naturally lose their stickiness. Izuku had suggested the idea of having such a support item in case of emergencies and Minoru was extremely glad that he had followed his advice.

"Nedzu said that Recovery Girl has something that might save her," explained Death Arms who then started to make arrangements for an ambulance…

--Some time later…--

All three ambulances arrived at U.A. High School at roughly the same time and the three noumus were rushed into a makeshift infirmary where Chiyo, Nemuri, Toshinori and Nedzu were waiting for them together with Wankuro, Hitoshi, Emi and Shouta. Along the way, Izuku was able to find out that Minoru, Kyouka, Shouto, Tenya, Eijirou and Tetsutetsu were involved in separate fights with the other two noumus who were also suffering from poisoning.

It should be noted that Yuu volunteered to keep an eye on both Minoru and Kyouka who wanted to be with Puppet while Fourth Kind went to U.A. High School with Eijirou and Tetsutetsu who wanted to be with Minotaur. As for Shouto and Tenya, they were still in Hosu with Masaki to help civilians and prevent further panic. Izuku went to U.A. High School together with Mirai while Sorahiko and Mirio stayed behind to ensure that no one else tried to break out of prison. Kaoruko stayed behind at Nighteye Agency in case anyone wanted to make a report to the agency.

Once the three Noumus were in the infirmary, Wankuro's eyes widened in recognition and said, "Vampire, Minotaur, Puppet…!"

Shouta narrowed his eyes and said, "Well that confirms that the League of Villains are behind the recent attacks and have obviously learnt from the USJ incident."

Chiyo asked the paramedics, "What're their statuses?"

One of the paramedics who had brought Vampire to U.A. High School quickly explained, "The noumu is suffering from some kind of nerve toxin that's destroying her nervous system even as we speak. We're barely able to keep her involuntary muscle contractions going but there's little else we can do for her."

"The same goes for the other two noumus," said the paramedic who had helped to bring Minotaur to the school.

Chiyo nodded and spoke to everyone, "All right, other than Sir Nighteye, Eraser Head, All Might, Midnight, Nedzu, Wan-Chan and Dekiru, I want you all to leave the infirmary."

Surprised, one of the paramedics asked, "Are you certain? The toxin's destroying their nervous systems at an alarming rate and we all know how your quirk works."

"At this point, there is a chance that their brains are too badly damaged to be healed by normal treatment. That's I'll be using a secret treatment method that might help to save them regardless," said Chiyo.

Nedzu stepped forward and added, "Due to the secretive and experimental nature of the treatment, we can't afford to let anyone know about it just yet." He then bowed apologetically and said, "Please believe in us."

"Do not worry because we will do what we can to save them," said Toshinori.

Although uncertain and unwilling, the paramedics and heroes relented and left the infirmary. After they had left and the infirmary was closed off, Chiyo gently beckoned, "It's all right, you can come out now."

Izuku's eyes widened in surprise as Eri meekly came out of hiding and stood before them. Confused, he asked, "Wait, she's the secret treatment?"

Chiyo and Nedzu nodded while Mirai explained, "We have recently discovered what her quirk could do. It's called Rewind and it has the ability to rewind a living organism to a previous state."

Izuku's eyes widened as he realised the implications and said, "That means that she can rewind them to before they got poisoned!"

"Precisely," said Mirai who then added, "However, there's no guarantee that it'll work as intended and there's a very real risk that she may rewind them too far back."

"That said, it's probably the only way to undo the damage to their brains," said Nedzu.

Izuku nodded and said, "It's a risk we'll have to take to save them."

Eri, who was understandably scared, asked, "You want me to use my quirk and make them disappear?"

Izuku smiled kindly and knelt down as he spoke to Eri, "No, Eri-chan, We want you to use your quirk to save them."

"What if I can't?" asked Eri who was scared of using her "curse".

"If you're worried about your quirk going out of control, I'll be there to help you stop it," said Shouta.

"Please, you're the only one who can help us save them," said Izuku who then added, "Even if you don't believe in yourself, believe in us who believes in you."

Tears welled up in Eri's eyes as she hugged back and said, "I'll… try." She then looked at everyone and said, "Please stand back."

Everyone stood back as Eri faced the three noumus whose brains were badly damaged long before they arrived at U.A. High School. She took what could very well be her last look at the people whom she held dear and fervently prayed that they would not abandon her like what her own mother had done to her after she accidentally made her father disappear. Izuku and Wankuro's reassuring smiles helped her to stay composed as she turned around and took a deep breath before she activated her quirk for the first time in a long time.

Her horn gave off a soft yellow glow before energy started to leak out from it and formed a field around her. As it happened, the three noumus suddenly opened their eyes and screamed as though they were being tortured. Terrified, Eri was about to try deactivating her power when Chiyo, who was holding a monitor that showed their vitals, yelled, "Don't stop! Their brains are showing increased signs of activity! We need to bring them back to the point that their nervous systems are intact!"

"B-but they're screaming!" said Eri who desperately tried to shut the screaming out by covering her ears.

Unable to bear seeing Eri crying in fear, Izuku said, "I'm going to activate 50% of One For All and go in there!"

Shocked by Izuku's decision, Mirai yelled, "Are you insane?! Her power might render your quirkless or worse!"

"If her power reverses something back to its previous state, then all I have to do is damage myself enough to withstand that reversal!" said Izuku who then added, "How can I call myself a hero if I can't even comfort one scared girl who's trying her best to help others?!"

Mirai could have sworn that he saw Toshinori instead of Izuku when he made that statement. Before Mirai could say anything, the real Toshinori stepped forward and said, "That won't be necessary, Midoriya-shounen. I'll go."

Surprised, Izuku asked, "All Might?"

"If that rewinding thing is true, then it makes sense that someone as old and wounded as I go in there to help instead of a young man who's still got so much to live for, no?" said Toshinori who the grinned and added, "Besides, I might even get my organs back after this so it's a possible win-win for everyone."

Realising that Toshinori was serious, Izuku nodded and said, "Please don't disappear, All Might."

"I won't because I'm here and I plan to keep it that way!" said Toshinori before he stepped into Eri's field of effect. As he did so, he felt pain as though his insides were being pulled from the inside. Although in pain and reverting back to his true skeletal form, Toshinori smiled as he reached out to hug Eri who was staring at him with tearful eyes and said, "I know that this is a terrifying experience that no child your age should ever go through, Eri-shoujo, but please have faith in yourself and in everyone who cares about you. Your power is dangerously powerful but it can be used for good." He then said, "You are not alone because I… no… we are here for you!" Tears welled up in Eri's eyes as she hugged him and nodded.

Less than a minute later, Chiyo noticed that the three noumus' brains had been fully restored and quickly yelled, "Eraser Head, stop her quirk before it goes too far!" She could tell that Eri's power was already starting to get out of control as its rewinding effect accelerated.

Shouta immediately used his power to deactivate Eri's quirk, causing the girl to pass out while the three noumus finally stopped screaming and passed out as well.

A tense moment of silence passed before Chiyo checked the three noumus and said, "The good news is that their brains have been fully restored and seem to be stable. However, they're still not out of the woods yet." She then turned her attention to Nedzu and said, "I'll need to perform surgery to remove whatever has poisoned them."

Nedzu nodded at Chiyo before he turned his attention to Izuku and said, "Please get the paramedics to come back inside to help Recovery Girl." Nedzu then turned his attention to Toshinori, who was still in his skeletal form, and said, "As for you, please take Eri-kun out from the back so that no one sees her."

Shouta stepped forward and said, "I'll go with them in case Eri's quirk acts up again."

Nedzu nodded at Shouta before he turned his attention to Nemuri and said, "I'll need you to stay here in case we need to put our three patients to sleep."

"Understood," replied Nemuri.

"As for the rest of you, I suggest that you all leave this room so that Chiyo and the paramedics can help them," said Nedzu.

Mirai nodded and mentally noted, "I'll have to check with All Might and see how much of his power have been restored. If all goes well, we might be able to restore him back to full health."

--The following day, at 6:14am…--

It was the fifth day of internships and, after a whole night of recounting events, waiting, worrying and sleeping fitfully, Izuku and the others were able to finally receive some good news from Chiyo who was understandably exhausted, "It took a lot of work, but we were able to locate the devices which delivered the poison directly into their spinal cords. Thankfully the devices were already empty and the girls have no remaining poison in their systems so they should be able to make a full recovery."

Tears welled up in Izuku, Eijirou, Tetsutetsu, Minoru and Kyouka's eyes as they were glad that the noumus would be able to live. Even Vampire, who clearly had mental issues, deserved a chance to live and perhaps even fully atone for what she had done.

"Can we see them?" asked Izuku.

"Yes, you can. However, please be quiet for their sakes," said Chiyo who then sighed while massaging her sore shoulder and added, "And mine as well. I'm too old to these all-nighters!"

Izuku chuckled and replied, "We'll be as quiet as we can, Recovery Girl."

"You do that. I need to take a nice long nap after this," said Chiyo who immediately set off to rest in her infirmary.

Izuku and the others quietly entered the room and saw the three noumus resting with peaceful expressions on their faces. The paramedics were still present but they were mainly there to ensure that the three noumus were in stable condition.

Seeing the pro-heroes and hero-students, one of the exhausted paramedics explained, "I don't know how Recovery Girl did it, but she somehow managed to restore three noumus who were basically brain dead on arrival. We also managed to remove these implants which were attached to the upper half of their spines." Izuku and the others looked at the implants which were obviously designed to inject drugs or poisons while the paramedic continued to explain, "The traces of the poison are highly potent nerve toxins designed to destroy nerve cells. Given the potency of the poison and the point of injection, brain damage could not have been avoided even with immediate treatment with an antidote."

"So saving even one of them really was impossible without Eri-chan's help," though Izuku as he recalled his "dream" from the previous night…

--Start of flashback…--

Izuku opened his eyes after falling asleep due to sheer exhaustion and realised that he had returned to his mind scape. Standing before him was a young woman with brown eyes, straight blond hair in two loose ponytails and a slender curvaceous frame. She was dressed in a white doctor's coat over a grey dress shirt, a pair of black leggings and a pair of black sandals. Recognising the blond woman to be Senju Tsunade, Izuku was about to speak to her when she spoke to him, "My name, as you should know by now, is Senju Tsunade and I am the sixth holder of One For All." She then bowed and apologised, "I'm also truly sorry that I could not help you save that girl just now."

Realising what Tsunade was talking about, Izuku replied, "You don't have to apologise, Senju-san. I already know that your quirk can't properly fix brain damage."

Tsunade wore a sad smile as she replied, "It's one thing to fix a stab wound or reattach a severed limb but repairing a person's brain is another matter altogether. I've tried saving people with damaged brains before and they always end up having lost memories, mental issues or even end up being 'vegetables' in spite of having intact brains. Given that girl's already unstable mental state, trying to save her brain could have caused her to become completely insane."

"Not to mention that she still had the poison which was damaging her nervous system at the time," said Izuku.

Tsunade nodded and said, "My quirk can repair damaged tissues but it can't neutralise poisons unless you count constantly repairing damaged tissues until the poison has run its course as a form of neutralising it."

Izuku winced and said, "That sounds very unhealthy for a brain."

Tsunade chuckled and said, "It certainly does!"

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" asked Izuku.

"Actually, yes," said Tsunade who then explained, "I want you to start using my quirk."

Izuku nodded and asked, "How do I use it?"

"I know that you've read about my quirk but those notes only cover the basics. What you need to know is that my quirk works by transferring my energy to promote the body's ability to heal itself, including my own body. In fact, my own wounds heal faster than when I heal someone else's. I also need to touch the other person to heal his or her wounds and there are limits to what I can heal. Besides the whole brain issue, my quirk can't replace lost limbs or organs. However, my quirk can help to heal genetic damage, such as the genetic damage in cancerous cells, and help implanted organs integrate into a new host body."

Suddenly, Izuku had an idea and asked, "What about quirk factors? Do you think your quirk can help the girls become more… 'naturalised'?"

Tsunade's eyes widened as she replied, "Damn, I never thought of that!" She then grinned and said, "Good thinking, kid." Her body then started disintegrating as she continued to speak, "To use my quirk, imagine transferring your energy to the part of your own boy or someone else's body that needs healing or repair. The more specific the healing, the better. Also, until you can use a greater percentage of One For All, you can't use Float and Bio-Repair at the same time."

"I understand. Thank you, Senju-san!" said Izuku.

Tsunade smirked and said, "Go out there and show the world what it means to be a true hero!"

As Izuku's consciousness faded, he saw the smiling faces of Nana, the First Holder, a young man with black hair which had been slicked back with gel, brown eyes and a lean muscular frame named Urameshi Yuusuke, a bald man with a very short beard, a square jaw, a wide muscular build and no eyebrows named Banjou Daigorou, two people who were still concealed in darkness and a golden phantom with blue eyes whom he realised represented Toshinori…

--End of flashback…--

Izuku gently placed his hand onto Vampire's head and thought, "I'll try using Senju-san's quirk later when there are less people around." He did not want to cause another uproar after all.

"So… should we go back out there?" asked Kyouka who then added, "I mean, there's a whole lot of property damage that needs clearing up amongst other problems."

"Yuu sighed and said, "As much as I want to take an off day today, we should head back and help out. That said, we need someone to keep an eye on those three while we're back in the field."

"Izuku, Wankuro and I can stay here. If there's anyone who can help those three girls settle down peacefully, it'll be them," said Mirai.

Yuu, Fourth Kind and Emi nodded at Mirai before leaving the room with Eijirou, Tetsutetsu, Minoru, Kyouka and Hitoshi to find Nedzu and inform him of their intention to leave the school grounds. In Emi's case, she also wanted Shouta to head out with her and Hitoshi if possible. Mirai then turned his attention to Nemuri and said, "You can go and rest. We'll let you know if anything happens."

Nemuri, she raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure you want me to leave you three and the paramedics with them?" Although Nemuri knew that Mirai, Izuku and Wankuro were capable, she did not want to leave them alone with three noumus until she was certain that they could be trusted.

Mirai nodded and said, "You've been awake for the whole of last night. Besides, we can take it from here."

Nemuri seemed uncertain but decided to trust Mirai's judgement, "All right, but I'll let Nedzu and Recovery Girl know that you three will be keeping watch over the three girls and the paramedics in my place.

After Nemuri had left, Mirai turned his attention to Izuku and whispered, "You were planning something, weren't you?"

Izuku blushed and whispered back, "Was I that obvious?"

"To be fair, I only suspected it because you already know about 'her'," said Mirai. Wankuro tilted her head as she wondered whom Izuku ad Mirai were talking about.

Izuku nodded and said, "I wanted to try healing them but there were too many people in here to even try anything."

"While I understand your desire to help them, there are still paramedics here. Please wait until they have left to try healing them," said Mirai.

"I understand," said Izuku.

--Later that day…--

The paramedics left the infirmary to rest after making sure that the three noumus were in stable conditions and were unlikely to have further medical complications. Yuu, Emi and Fourth Kind had already left the school with Minoru, Kyouka, Eijirou, Tetsutetsu and Hitoshi. Shouta was still in the school premises to keep an eye on Eri while Toshinori entered the infirmary to inform Mirai, "It seems that my power has been restored to the point shortly after I fought Noumu at the USJ."

Mirai nodded and said, "So it's safe to say that it's possible for her restore you back to full health."

"Perhaps, but it's clear that she not only has trouble controlling her power but her power rewinds faster the longer it is activated and the closer someone is to her. She will need a lot of training just to be able to use her power safely," said Toshinori who then added, "Not only that, but her horn has shrunk after using her quirk so there is a chance that it may take a while for her to stockpile the energy needed to use it again."

"Still, the fact that you're back to being able to use your quirk for nearly an hour a day is an encouraging sign," said Mirai.

Toshinori nodded at Mirai and then turned his attention to Izuku and said, "You should get some rest, Midoriya-shounen. You've been through much today after all."

Izuku nodded and said, "I'll rest after I try something."

Toshinori raised an eyebrow while Mirai nodded. Izuku then turned his attention to Vampire and created a soft green glow from his hands…

--Meanwhile…--

Vampire, who was in the threshold between life and death, finally remembered her original name, Toga Himiko. She remembered being sent to a doctor who had promised to treat her "monstrous quirk" and "sick fascination" with blood by her parents. However, instead of treating her, the doctor instead turned her into a creature with multiple quirks known as a noumu.

She also remembered the doctor stating that she was going to be the first test subject to test the effects of an imperfect copy of a quirk. Everything else after that was a blur of pain, extreme thirst for blood, tears, understanding between fellow intelligent and wilful noumus and even the occasional hug. The last thing she remembered before dying was a boy with green eyes and hair asking her if she wanted to change for the better.

"I… never got his real name," thought Himiko before her world was filled with a gentle green light…

--Back in the physical world…--

Himiko opened her eyes and felt a warm hand which was giving off a soft green glow on her forehead. Although confused, she felt unafraid as she sensed that the hand was somehow healing her. She then heard a familiar voice, "Please don't move just yet. You've been through a lot already and I'm almost done healing your body's multiple quirk factors so that using them won't strain your body and mind so much."

She turned her attention to the speaker who was none other than Izuku who smiled kindly at her and said, "Dekiru…?" Thanks to her keen bat-like hearing, she knew that the boy's codename was Dekiru.

"It's all right. You're safe here," said Izuku who gently patted her forehead before saying, "I'm going to heal the others soon so please let me know if you need anything."

Himiko nodded in an almost meek manner as she observed Izuku turning his attention to another girl who had cow-like horns on her head. She recognised the horned girl who as codenamed Minotaur and realised that she had somehow been saved too.

"Vampire."

Himiko turned around and saw a girl with dog-like ears whom she recognised, "Hellhound?"

Hellhound, whose name was Wankuro, nodded with a smile and said, "You're safe here. We'll help you."

Tears welled up in Himiko's eyes as she nodded and then asked, "Is… Dekiru Izu-chan?"

Wankuro smiled and confirmed, "Dekiru is Izu-chan's codename."

Himiko blushed and said, "He's… very kind."

"I know," said Wankuro.

"I remember my name. It's Toga Himiko," said Himiko who then asked Wankuro, "What's your real name?"

Wankuro smiled and replied, "My name's Midoriya Wankuro."

Before long, Izuku had healed Minotaur, Puppet and even Wankuro by making their altered bodies more 'naturalised'. Although they did not become any stronger, their abilities became more efficient with fewer drawbacks than before. Izuku also offered to heal Toshinori but he politely rejected the offer as he wanted Izuku, who was clearly exhausting himself, to be properly rested first. Mirai smiled when he heard that Izuku could help 'naturalise' transplanted organs with the quirk he had inherited from Tsunade. Even if Eri was unable to safely restore Toshinori, Izuku's newfound quirk was a viable alternative.

--Later that afternoon…--

Izuku, Wankuro, Himiko, Minotaur and Puppet were soon seated before Nedzu, Toshinori, Mirai, Shouta and a man with a tall sturdy body and the head of a beagle named Tsuragamae Kenji. The three noumus who had been recently rescued all wore gym clothes meant for students of U.A. High School. Himiko was staring at Izuku with a love-struck expression on her face while Nyujou was fidgeting nervously and Ningyou was sitting passively like a doll. As for Izuku, he was nervous as he knew what he had done at the prison while Wankuro looked at Izuku worriedly.

Nedzu cleared his throat and said to Izuku, "Before we start this discussion, I'd like to first inform you that you won't be expelled from the Hero Course and will still be allowed to take the provisional hero licence exam, Midoriya-kun. Although it is true that Sir Nighteye did not tell you to break those five inmates out of prison during the attack, it is also true that he never told you to NOT to break them out either, common sense notwithstanding. There's also the fact that you've already done a lot of good in just a few days of your internship."

"With that said, we can't ignore the fact that you broke five men out of prison even though they were cooperative both during their initial 'capture' and after the attack at the prison, woof," said Kenji who was the Chief of Police. He then added, "It is therefore decided that you still need to be punished, as unfair as it is, woof."

Outraged, Wankuro growled deeply while Himiko hissed viciously. Almost everyone felt nervous as the two outraged noumus were clearly willing to use physical violence on Izuku's behalf. Izuku gently yet firmly placed his hands onto their shoulders to hold them back before he asked Kenji, "What's my punishment?"

Kenji took a moment to calm himself before he explained, "Your punishment will be to spend the last few days of your internship helping those three girls get settled down and assist in rehabilitating them instead of working in the field as an intern. You will also assist in cataloguing their quirks and finding out what you can about their pasts, woof." Izuku's eyes widened in surprise as Kenji added, "I've heard that you enjoy analysing quirks and I'd like see for myself how good your analysis really is. Also, you already have a noumu as an adopted sister so you should have an idea on how to help rehabilitate the other three, woof."

"You will also be obligated to clean Dorm 1A until the internships are over. That said, you're allowed to have Wankuro and the other three to help you out as a part of their rehabilitation, provided that they do not make a mess instead," said Shouta.

"Are the terms of the punishment acceptable?" asked Nedzu who smiled at Izuku.

Izuku shed tears of relief as he nodded and said gladly, "Yes, I accept the terms."

Kenji stepped forward and bowed as he spoke to Izuku, "Although I cannot publicly say this, I wish to thank you for helping to maintain the peace, woof."

Izuku blushed and bowed and said, "T-thank you for being so kind and understanding, sir."

"Now, to more… complicated matters," said Nedzu who then said, "In spite of the fact that the three noumus were clearly forced to act villainously, there is no denying that they have caused a lot of property damage and injuries, at best. This issue is especially difficult for Vampire as…"

"Toga Himiko."

Surprised, Izuku, Nedzu, Toshinori, Mirai, Shouta and Kenji turned their attention towards Himiko as she spoke again, "My real name, Toga Himiko."

"U-Ushimaru Nyujou," said Minotaur.

"My original birth name is Bunraku Ningyou," said Puppet who was clearly the most verbose of the four noumus in the room.

A moment of stunned silence passed before Nedzu continued, "As I was saying, the issue is especially difficult for Toga who has killed a number of guards at the prison."

Izuku frown as asked, "What's going to happen to them?"

"All three girls will be in protective custody of U.A. High School as an attempt to properly rehabilitate and reform them. They will be allowed to take classes in Class 1A together with Wankuro-kun but they will be obligated to take counselling sessions with Hound Dog. Toga, who has done the most harm among the three and has a transformation ability, will not be allowed to leave the school grounds without pro-hero supervision and will be obligated to wear a tracking collar at all times," explained Nedzu.

"Will Toga-san be allowed to drink blood?" asked Izuku who the explained, "From what I have managed to find out, she needs to drink blood due to what I'm assuming to be her original quirk."

"As long as she does not harm or kill anyone to drink blood, I see no reason why she should be denied a basic necessity," replied Nedzu who then turned his attention to Himiko and asked, "Were you by any chance forced to repress that need?"

Himiko hesitantly nodded and replied, "My parents hated it."

Kenji rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, "If that is true, her punishment might be lightened earlier than expected provided that she shows improvement in her mental condition, woof."

"Is there anything else that we need to know?" asked Izuku.

Nedzu shook his head and smiled as he spoke to Izuku, "No, that will be all for now. That said, your 'punishment' will begin today and I expect them to have settled down comfortably in the dormitory before this day is over. Your mother will be waiting for your there to help you out."

"Further details of your punishment will be provided to you tomorrow," said Shouta.

Izuku bowed and said gratefully, "Thank you very much!"

After Izuku had left with Wankuro, Himiko, Nyujou and Ningyou, Kenji sighed and said, "It's almost a shame that we can't give him a provisional hero licence."

"If there's anyone who's worthy of receiving a licence early, it would be him," agreed Toshinori who was undoubtedly proud of Izuku.

"Given the circumstances, especially that prison breakout, giving him one right now would be irrational," said Shouta.

Mirai nodded and said, "Regardless of his intentions, we can't ignore the fact that he has committed what would normally be considered a crime."

"True, but it also doesn't change the fact that the Hero Public Safety Commission was seriously considering giving him one until he broke those five inmates out to stop Toga from hurting anyone else," said Nedzu who then turned his attention to Kenji and said, "Speaking of those five inmates, I would like to discuss with you about them."

Kenji nodded as he knew that something had to be done to somehow stop the League of Villains. After all, even Stain was intimidated by Shigaraki Tomura if Native's testimony as the Hero Killer's spared victim was to be believed.

--At Dorm 1A…--

Inko, who had been waiting anxiously at the dormitory, nearly flooded the common room with tears as she hugged Izuku and Wankuro. After Inko had calmed down, she, Izuku and Wankuro helped Himiko, Nyujou and Ningyou to settle down by first showing them their rooms.

It should be noted that the fifth floor was occupied by Inko, Wankuro and Izuku while the last room was used for storage including hero merchandise. Himiko would be staying on the fourth floor between Ochako and Tsuyu while Ningyou would be staying on the third floor between Kyouka and Momo. Nyujou on the other hand would be staying on the second floor between Tooru and Mina. As for Eri, the small girl would be sharing the same room with Wankuro so that she would be close to the dog-like girl, Izuku and Inko once she had recovered from her exhaustion due to using her quirk.

After showing the three girls their rooms, Izuku and Inko proceeded to prepare some food for everyone to have for teatime. Wankuro took out a board game which Himiko, Nyujou and Ningyou could play. It was the same snakes and ladders game that Wankuro had played with Pony and Tsuyu's two younger siblings during the celebration party.

When Izuku came out to check on the girls and saw the board game, he thought, "That's the same board game she played with Tsunotori-san and Tsuyu-chan's…" His face became pale as he realised something, "Oh, crap! I haven't contacted Ochako-chan and Tsuyu-chan since yesterday!"

Needless to say, he quickly made a few phone calls to assure Ochako and Tsuyu that he and Wankuro were doing fine. He also told them about his encounter with Himiko, how she and the other two noumus almost died from poisoning and how he got punished for breaking five men out of prison to stop Himiko. He was surprised to hear that Tsuyu got involved in stopping a drug smuggling attempt by a villain with an octopus quirk named Innsmouth and his siblings.

After having tea, Izuku decided to borrow a training room with Shouta's approval to start analysing the three noumus' quirks…

--Later that evening…--

Nedzu was sipping some tea when he heard a knock on the door. Aware that Izuku wanted to submit something to him, he said, "Please come in, Midoriya-kun."

Izuku entered the room and said, "I've prepared a report on Toga-san, Ushimaru-san and Bunraku-san's quirks. It's still a rough draft that only covers the basics of their quirks but Aizawa-sensei told me to send it to you immediately after I had shown it to him."

Nedzu accepted the report from Izuku and his eyes narrowed as he read about the three noumus' quirks and noted, "Obvious differences aside, it seems that some of their quirks are very similar Wankuro-kun's, Toga's being the most obvious one."

Izuku nodded and said, "All three girls have the same accelerated healing was Wan-chan and both Toga-san and Ushimaru-san have enhanced strength just like Wan-chan. There's also Toga-san's ability to turn her hands into sharpened claws which is too similar to Wan-Chan's own ability to be mere coincidence." His expression was grim as he asked, "Given the fact that there's a powerful villain who can take and give quirks, what are the chances that the League of Villains has somehow found a way to actually copy quirks?"

"Surprisingly likely which means that the League of Villains may also have copies of the other quirks including the ability to transform into people by drinking their blood and the ability to control people like puppets," said Nedzu who then turned his attention to Izuku and said, "Please leave your report here with me. I will need to show this to both the Police Force and the Hero Public Safety Commission."

Surprised, Izuku asked, "Are you sure? I haven't checked the report for any errors yet."

Nedzu nodded and said, "Your observations match with what we already know about their capabilities and, more importantly, have revealed what may be a vital clue about the League of Villains. Besides, I will proofread the report myself so you do not have to worry about correcting it."

Izuku nodded and said, "I understand. Is there anything else that we should discuss about?"

"Just be aware that we will publicly reveal the fact that the three noumus are alive and will be under the protection of this school later tonight. We will also be using a cover story stating that they were saved by a secret damage-reversing treatment which is still experimental and can only safely reverse a day's worth of damage at best," said Nedzu who then added, "Needless to say, we won't reveal the truth about Eri's quirk to the public. We do not want anyone to kidnap her and abuse her power."

"I understand," said Izuku.

"Serious matters aside, I've heard from Sir Nighteye and All Might that you've awakened a new ability," said Nedzu.

Izuku nodded and explained about his "dream" and how he used his ability to heal the noumus including Wankuro. He then added, "I'm planning to heal All Might and Eri-chan tomorrow morning."

Nedzu chuckled and said, "If it wasn't for the fact that you're determined to be a hero like All Might, I might seriously consider having you here as Chiyo's student instead."

"I actually wouldn't mind learning a thing or two from her since it'll improve my healing ability," said Izuku.

"I'll keep that in mind when it is time for you and your classmates to resume with your school lessons," said Nedzu who then dismissed Izuku so that he could spend the rest of the night resting and helping Himiko, Nyujou and Ningyou to settle down.

--The following day…--

Sorahiko and Rumi, whose injuries had already been treated, entered U.A. High School with the intention of seeing Izuku and Wankuro. The two pro-heroes had already heard the public announcement about the three noumus and they wanted to make sure that Izuku and Wankuro were fine.

They were quite surprised to see Izuku, Wankuro, Himiko, Nyujou and Ningyou helping to clean the common room in Dorm 1A. Rumi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Not that I'm unhappy to see you five get along so well, but how the hell did THIS happen so fast?"

Izuku chuckled and said, "Let's just say that Wan-chan already knows the other three girls and they're actually not bad people."

"Even Toga Himiko?" asked Sorahiko who seemed unconvinced.

"Well, she does need to drink blood regularly and is very attracted to blood-red things but a regular supply of donated blood helps to curb her urges and Midnight-sensei is already teaching her how to paint pictures as a way to cope with her need to make things look bloody," replied Izuku.

Sorahiko looked at Himiko, who was currently wearing her tracking collar, and noted her uneasy expression. He then sighed in resignation and said to Izuku, "I can't believe I'm saying this but you're an even bigger headache than a certain muscle-headed oaf whom I know all too well. Do you even realise how much bloody paperwork I had to deal with yesterday because of you?"

Izuku chuckled sheepishly as he knew that Sorahiko was comparing him to Toshinori. He could also imagine that Sorahiko had to deal with a lot of paperwork since he had broken five inmates out of prison.

"That said, I'm willing to admit that your actions may have given Toga a real chance to finally live a happier life without needing to resort to villainy," said Sorahiko who then added, "And that's not counting your… less direct role in saving their lives."

Rumi nodded smirked as she spoke to Izuku, "I don't need to be as smart as Nedzu to know what the 'secret treatment' is."

"Secret treatments aside, how's that girl doing?" asked Sorahiko.

"She's doing fine. She's actually in the kitchen with my mother and Yagi-san right now," said Izuku as he recalled Eri wanting to learn how to bake cookies with Inko. He also noticed that Toshinori seemed to be getting along rather well with Inko and wondered if anything had happened during the time he and Wankuro were away for their internships.

Yes, Izuku was still blissfully unaware that Inko and Toshinori were in a romantic relationship. As for Wankuro, she immediately noticed that Toshinori and Inko were starting to share the same smell but she did not think too much about it as she knew that both adults clearly liked one another. Even Eri could tell that Inko and Toshinori seemed happy to be together.

"Home-baked cookies, huh? I won't mind having some," said Sorahiko.

"We're actually almost done cleaning this place. You two can stay and have tea with us," suggested Izuku.

Rumi, who was forced to take a day off as her injured ribs needed at least a day to fully heal even after treatment, grinned and said, "Sure, why not? It's not like I'm on hero duty today."

--A short while later…--

Izuku, along with the four noumus and two pro-heroes, were having tea with Inko, Toshinori and Eri. Eri, whose scarred body had already been healed by Izuku earlier that morning, was happy to see some familiar faces as she asked Rumi and Sorahiko if they were all right after fighting Himiko who was "forced to be bad" at the time. Rumi was quick to assure Eri that she was fine while Sorahiko made a show of complaining how he had to deal with a lot of paperwork because of Izuku and how his old apartment was still under construction. Toshinori grimaced as Sorahiko glanced at him meaningfully and knew that he owed him "big time".

Sorahiko noted how Inko and Toshinori sat closely together and smirked as he thought, "If the press knew that All Might had fallen in love with Izuku's mother, they would go ballistic for sure!"

Eri, who was comfortably seated on Wankuro's lap, was happily munching a cookie when she noticed someone and asked, "Are you here for cookies too, Nedzu-san?"

Surprised, everyone else turned their attention to Nedzu, who was chuckling in amusement, and said, "You could say that, Eri-kun." He the spoke to Izuku, "Cookies aside, I wish to inform you that the general public, while understandably uneasy with the idea of the three noumus being given light sentences, are generally willing to give them a chance. The public is less willing to forgive Toga-kun even with the harsher sentence but that's to be expected. We're still investigating their families but, given the situation so far, it'll take a while before we get any information even after getting their real names."

Izuku nodded and said, "I have managed to get a bit of information about their pasts and even some additional details about their quirks. I'll write down a report and send it to you later."

"I already know that you're planning to have them stay in this school to rehabilitate and reform them but how exactly are you planning to do that?" asked Sorahiko.

"You're not planning to have them all go into Class 1A, are you?" asked Toshinori. Like Eri, he had been treated by Izuku. Although he still lacked certain organs, he could tell that his body felt noticeably better after the treatment and he was coughing less blood.

Nedzu smiled and replied, "Let's just say that I'm planning something that will make Aizawa-kun very angry with me and leave it at that."

Everyone, other than the innocently curious Eri, wisely decided against asking for further details.

--Meanwhile, in a certain prison…--

Jin, Shin, Setsuno, Houjou and Soramitsu blinked in unison as they could not believe what Kenji was offering them. Shin then sighed and rubbed his forehead as he asked Kenji, "Can you please repeat that? I could have sworn that you have told us that Nedzu is basically offering us a job as 'villains-on-parole' at, of all places, U.A. High School."

Kenji chuckled in amusement as he replied, "As a matter of fact, I have indeed told you all just that, woof."

"That's… crazy!" said Jin who then yelled, "It makes perfect sense!"

"Why the hell is the principal of the most prestigious hero high school in all of Japan offering a job to… US of all people?!" asked Setsuno.

"One reason is because you five have played a vital role in stopping Toga Himiko, the noumu responsible for attacking this prison, from killing any more people. Another reason is that one of you willingly provided vital information about a certain 'treatment' which is currently being kept secret from the general public but will undoubtedly play a vital role in saving many more lives in the future, woof," explained Kenji.

"So that 'treatment' was used to saved those three noumus," said Shin who honestly could not blame Nedzu for wanting to keep Eri's quirk a secret from the general public.

Kenji nodded and said, "The three noumus will be taught in the hero course of the school in the hopes of both rehabilitating and reforming them not unlike Wan-Chan. However, the unexpected increase in students means that assistant teachers are needed to ensure that the students are properly educated. Nedzu could have accepted pro-heroes instead but he has a feeling that hiring you five will be a more… 'interesting' choice, woof."

"What's the catch? There's no way he will offer such a good deal without expecting something from us," said Houjou.

"I don't have the full details but it involves having you five go against the students of the hero course as a part of their training as future pro-heroes. Nedzu believes that villain bots may no longer be sufficient," said Kenji who then bitterly added, "Considering recent events, I'm afraid that he's right, woof."

"So it's a 'set a thief to catch a thief' kind of deal, huh?" said Setsuno.

"You can put it that way," admitted Kenji who then added, "Since you five willingly surrendered both during your initial captures and after the attack at the prison, even the Hero Public Safety Commission agrees that you're not exactly the worst possible choices as 'hired crooks', woof."

"Better food than here?" asked Soramitsu.

"Considering that Lunch Rush works there, I'm willing to bet that the answer is 'yes'," said Kenji.

Houjou turned his attention to Shin and asked, "So, what do you think? Should we take the deal?"

Surprised, Shin asked, "Why are you asking me?"

"You're the one who came up with the idea to somehow ruin Dekiru's reputation before taking him out. Sure, things turned out differently than originally planned but, among the four of us, you're the closest thing we have to a boss," said Setsuno who then pointed his thumb at Jin and said, "And I get the feeling that he'll probably accept regardless."

"I've got nothing to lose," said Jin who then yelled, "I'll be losing everything!"

Realising that Setsuno was right, Shin sighed in frustration before he made his decision, "All right, we'll accept the offer. However, we're only accepting it because we're assuming that working at U.A. High School is better than rotting in jail. If we ever decide otherwise, we'll quit even if it mean going straight back into jail."

"The terms are agreeable," said Kenji who then started to make arrangements to have the five men transferred to U.A. High School.

--The following day…--

It was the seventh and last day of internships and all the interns from Dorm 1A were allowed to return to the dormitory to rest before they had to resume with their school lessons on the following day. It was also the day when the dormitories for all the other classes were finally completed. Needless to say, the students from Class 1B would be moving into their own dormitory by the following week at latest.

Among the students of Class 1A, Ochako and Tsuyu were, unsurprisingly, the most anxious to return back to the dormitory to make sure that Izuku and Wankuro were all right. In fact, they were among the first to arrive back at the dormitory as they arrived before noon.

They never expected to see Izuku and Wankuro getting along with not only the three noumus who had been rampaging a few days ago but also five men whom they recognised to be the prison inmates Izuku had freed to stop Himiko from killing any more people. The ten of them were chatting comfortably while discussing about possible school lessons. Wankuro was lying on Izuku's lap while Himiko was hugging him by wrapping her arms around his neck. Blinking in surprise, neither Ochako nor Tsuyu knew what to say when Wankuro noticed them and happily said, "Ochako-chan! Tsuyu-chan! Welcome home!"

Everyone turned their attention to the two girls who had just arrived. Ochako smiled awkwardly and asked, "So… what did we miss?"

Tsuyu on the other hand bluntly asked, "I don't mean to be rude but why are those five out of prison, kero?"

Thankfully, the five men were not offended while Izuku smiled and explained, "Oh, Nedzu-sensei has pulled a few strings so they're now on parole and will be assisting in our hero training starting from tomorrow."

Both Ochako and Tsuyu blinked in surprise before Tsuyu said, "If Nedzu-sensei sees fit to give them parole and the police are fine with it, I'm not going to disagree with them."

Ochako then asked, "So are all of them going to stay in this dorm with us?"

Izuku shook his head and answered while introducing the eight people to the two girls, "No, only the three noumus, Toga Himiko, Ushimaru Nyujou and Bunraku Ningyou will be staying in this dorm with us. As for Bubaigawara Jin, Nemoto Shin, Setsuno Touya, Houjou Yuu and Tabe Soramitsu, they will be staying in a separate building."

"It's basically a more comfy version of prison until we've paid our dues," explained Houjou.

"It's not a bad arrangement," said Jin who then yelled, "It's super horrible!"

Izuku smiled apologetically and explained, "Bubaigawara-san has a tendency to contradict himself. Just pay attention to the first thing he says and ignore its contradiction."

Ochako raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay… so that means that the living conditions here are better than prison, right?"

"That's right," said Jin who then yelled, "That's SO wrong!"

"Yummy cookies!" said Soramitsu as he devoured another home-baked cookie whole.

"This is going to take some getting used to, kero," said Tsuyu while Ochako nodded in agreement with her.

The five men eventually had to leave the dormitory building as they needed to report to Nedzu and settle down in their new lodgings.

--Later that evening…--

Everyone from Class 1A had returned from their internships and almost everyone laughed at Katsuki whose hair had been combed down by Tsunagu. Even Himiko, Nyujou and Ningyou, who had never met Katsuki before, could instinctively tell that his current hair style did not suit him at all.

"Shut up, you fucking extras! I didn't ask for this fucking hairdo!" yelled Katsuki.

"Obviously!" replied Hanta who was still laughing.

"Mina, please tell me you've taken pictures of this," said Eijirou who was struggling to speak to Mina due to laughing so much.

Mina grinned and gave Eijirou a thumb's up while saying, "Way ahead of you, Eijirou!"

Realising that Mina had taken pictures and was likely planning to share them, Katsuki angrily yelled while his hair "exploded" back into shape, "Share those pictures and I swear I'll kill you, you pink bitch!"

Tooru was snickering as she was secretly taking a video recording of Katsuki's sudden change of hairstyle. She was most definitely going to share it with everyone in Class 1A and Class 1B, other than the angry blond of course.

Izuku chuckled as he hugged Eri, who was scared of Katsuki's violent temper, and thought, "Things are almost back to normal."

It should be noted that Himiko was strongly attracted to Izuku while Nyujou was attracted to Eijirou. In fact, both girls did not hesitate to hug them and Eijirou finally understood how Izuku felt while having his face buried deep into a tall girl's ample bosom. As for Ningyou, she clearly saw Kyouka and even Minoru as friends and the usually perverted boy showed a surprising level of decency around her. Then again, even Minoru was deeply affected by Ningyou's near-death and tragic circumstances.

--Later that night…--

Izuku was sleeping in his room with Wankuro, Eri and Himiko. Due to the increased number of people, his bed was understandably cramped and he was worried what would happen if Ochako and Tsuyu had decided to join in. The fact that both Himiko and Wankuro were both attractive girls who enjoyed having close physical contact with him certainly did not help to calm his increasingly hormonal libido.

As if fate had decided to test him further, Ochako knocked on the door and asked, "Deku, can Tsuyu-chan and I come in?"

Izuku blushed and replied, "You can, but Wan-chan, Eri-chan and Toga-san are on the bed with me."

Ochako, who was clearly expecting Izuku's response, replied, "Okay, we're coming in."

Both Ochako and Tsuyu entered the room and blushed as they saw Himiko hugging Izuku's back while Eri slept innocently between Izuku and Wankuro with her face nuzzling into Wankuro's breasts. Izuku smiled sheepishly and said, "Yeah, the bed's pretty cramped right now."

"Don't worry, we'll fit in somehow," said Ochako who was clearly determined to sleep with Izuku after being separated from him for a whole week. Tsuyu nodded in agreement with Ochako as both girls had been yearning for Izuku's comforting presence during their week-long internships.

Izuku's blush deepened as the two girls started to get onto the bed and he thought, "I sure hope no one decides to check on me tomorrow."

--The following morning…--

Izuku groaned in embarrassment and exasperation as he thought, "Of course the other girls would check my room!" Even worse, Mina and Tooru wasted not time in taking pictures of him and the five girls sleeping together on his bed in one cuddle pile.

Little did Izuku realise that his mother was already making "secret arrangements" with Nedzu to remodel his room so that a larger bed could be fitted in. Nedzu happily obliged and offered to combine Izuku's room with Wankuro's room which was placed between his room and Inko's room.

Mina grinned at Izuku and said, "So, how's life with your cuddle harem?" Izuku tried to glare at Mina but his comically futile attempt made her laugh as she jovially said, "If it makes you feel any better, almost everyone thinks that you six look cute sleeping together."

Tooru nodded and said, "It's like seeing two bunnies, a frog, a puppy, a unicorn and a vampire-cat sleeping together in one pile on a small bed!"

Ochako groaned in embarrassment while Tsuyu looked away with a clearly sheepish expression her blushing face. Like everyone else in the dorm, both girls were eating bacon, eggs and toasted bread. The drinks ranged from black coffee to orange juice.

Himiko was happily drinking a chilled packet of blood which had been willingly donated by Izuku with Chiyo's help and after he had confirmed with Toshinori that doing so would not transfer his quirk to her unless he wanted her to have it. Izuku was grateful for Tsunade's quirk as it allowed him to quickly produce more blood with the help of iron-rich food and a bit of rest to restore his energy.

Eri, who was seated between Izuku and Wankuro, was blowing at her hot piece of toast which had a fried egg on it. She swung her legs as she enjoyed her delicious breakfast.

Wankuro was enjoying her freshly-cooked piece of bacon and, since she was highly resistant to heat due to one of her quirks, was not bothered by the fact that the piece of bacon was still very hot. Nyujou, who was part cow due to her quirk, gave Eijirou her bacon in exchange for more bread and eggs. Eijirou, who already knew about her preference for fruits and vegetables over meat, kindly accepted the exchange and ate his "manly breakfast" of bacon.

Ningyou, who had a preference for tea and food items that go well with is, was calmly drinking her cup of tea while seated between Kyouka and Minoru. Almost everyone was still surprised by the fact that Minoru was downright courteous towards Ningyou and that his usually blatant perversions had noticeably died down. Those who had seen Minoru's distraught state when Ningyou was basically brain dead, including Kyouka, Izuku and Eijirou, were more understanding of his seemingly unprecedented change of behaviour.

Katsuki, who chose to stay away from the rest of the "extras", ate by himself as he through sarcastically, "Just what I need, more fucking extras who like Deku!" The fact that Himiko hissed at him viciously when he tried to remind Izuku of his "true place in life" only made him angrier.

--Later that morning…--

As usual, a school assembly was held in the field. During the assembly, Nedzu welcomed the students from both Class 1A and Class 1B back to school and informed everyone that, not unlike Wankuro, the three other noumus would be placed in the hero course as new students. Nedzu also announced that Hitoshi would be officially transferred to the hero course of the school and, to cope with the increased number of students in the hero course and in light of recent villain attacks, five new assistant teachers would begin working at the school starting from that day.

While the majority of the students knew that Nyujou, Ningyou and even Himiko would be placed in the hero course of the school as new students, almost no one other than Class 1A had expected Jin, Shin, Setsuno, Houjou and Soramitsu to join the school as "assistant teachers on parole". Nedzu was quick to assure the students that the five men would be closely monitored with the help of tracking devices on their wrists and ankles to that they would not use their quirks without authorisation.

After the assembly was over, Nedzu told the students from Class 1A to stay behind and then informed them, "Due to the unprecedented number of new students who will be joining your class, I have decided to have your classroom shifted to a different part of the school which will be able to accommodate everyone at the same time."

Concerned, Momo asked, "Won't it be an issue to have so many students in the same class, even if there are more teachers present to teach us?"

Tenya, who was equally concerned, asked, "Speaking of more teachers, is it really advisable to have those five men as our assistant teachers?" Although Izuku, Ochako and Tsuyu had already told everyone in class about the five men, many of the students in Class 1A were still uneasy about having villains on parole as assistant teachers.

Minoru wore a worried expression as he spoke, "Never mind not having teaching licences, those guys are villains!"

Not surprised by the students' concerns, Nedzu explained, "As I have said before, the hero course needs additional teachers to cope with the rather drastic increase of students in your class. Due to previous circumstances, all four noumus are emotionally attached to certain members of your class which means any attempt to have them join Class 1B instead would be complicated at best." He then chuckled as he added, "Aizawa-kun has also made it very clear that he will sooner quit his job than be solely responsible for over twenty-four children, including at least four who are already more powerful than most pro-heroes." Not even Katsuki could blame Shouta for not wanting to deal with a class which had four powerful noumus on his own. "At any rate, I have chosen those five men in particular instead of additional pro-heroes partly because they have proven themselves to be willing for reform as demonstrated by their willingness to surrender to the authorities after encountering Midoriya-kun and Wankuro-kun. Also, they played a vital role in stopping Toga-kun before she could kill any more people when she was forced to attack the prison as a disposable tool by the League of Villains so it is only fair that they are given a chance to prove themselves as worthy of trust. I also plan to have them replace the villain bots during training as much as possible as I fear that the robots may no longer be adequate," explained Nedzu who then added, "Of course, they will also assist in teaching and training the students of Class 1B and I plan to have both classes involved in inter-class training sessions to ensure that everyone benefits from the new additions to this esteemed school."

Tenya bowed as he spoke to Nedzu, "I understand, Nedzu-sensei. Thank you for your explanation!"

"When he puts it that way, I guess it makes sense why those five dudes are given a chance to work in this school as assistant teachers," said Hanta. Although Izuku had informed everyone in Class 1A about the five men, he did not know the full details of Nedzu's reasoning for having them instead of additional pro-heroes as assistant teachers.

"I just hope that they're not disgusting perverts," said Kyouka who then turned her attention to Minoru.

Minoru shrugged and said, "In my defence, even Midoriya has sexual desires. I'm just more open and perverted about it."

"Emphasis on perverted," said Mina while Tooru nodded in agreement.

Kyouka sighed and said, "At least don't creep out the new girls, okay?"

Minoru shrugged and said, "Sure, as long as you don't rag on me for having a porn stash."

Nearly everyone stared at Minoru as though he had grown a second head. It was one thing for Minoru to be surprisingly courteous to Ningou but for him to be willing to extend that courtesy to even other girls was essentially inconceivable. Unable to contain his shock, Denki pointed his finger at Minoru and asked, "Okay, who're you and where's the real Mineta?"

Minoru glared at Denki and yelled, "I'm right here, you doofus!"

Nedzu chuckled as he dismissed Class 1A and told them to follow Shouta who was very annoyed with his current situation. The principal's amusement only grew as he considered the irony of Shouta, who had once "expelled" an entire class the year before, was presently responsible for not only the original students of Class 1A but also four noumus, a new transfer student from the general course, a certain girl and, from a certain point of view, even the five former prison inmates.

"This year is becoming most interesting!" said Nedzu as he happily planned the different and, more importantly, entertainingly interesting ways he could have Class 1A and Class 1B compete with one another.

--End Chapter--

Author's Notes:

This chapter concludes the internship arc and introduces a new arc which will include both the Tsuyu special episode and the final exams before the visit to I-Island and the summer camp. I sincerely hope that everyone is happy/satisfied with the way this arc has been handled and concluded.

The three noumu OCs:

Toga Himiko (Noumu Subject: Vampire): Originally the daughter of the Toga family, she was entrusted to a "Doctor" who had promised to treat her "monstrous quirk" and "sick fascination" with blood. The Doctor turned her into a Noumu instead. She had the potential to be a High-End noumu even more dangerous than Wankuro but her uncontrollable nature made her a failure and One For All forbade the Doctor from making her any stronger. She was easily the most dangerous of the three noumus released during Izuku's first internship. Besides her original ability to transform into other people by drinking their blood (and temporarily gaining their quirks in the process), she was forcibly given an imperfect copy of Wankuro's Indomitable Spirit, copies of Self-Recovery, Enhanced Strength and Razor Claws (the same was Wankuro's) and Were-Bat which allows her to transform her arms into wings and her feet into clawed talons, grants her pointed ears with keen hearing and grants her the ability to use both echolocation and sonic screams. (She likes blood, meat and the colour red.) (She was already forced to repress her desire for blood by her own parents before she was taken by the League of Villains who proceeded to experiment on her, thus causing her to be even more mentally unstable. She would have been locked up in prison had she not sworn loyalty to Izuku who had been kind to her.) (She has a slender figure with blond hair, yellow cat-like eyes, sharp canines, pointed ears and pale skin.) (Yes, she's the Himiko Toga of BNHA converted into a noumu.) (The Doctor gave her similar abilities as Wankuro to test the effects of the imperfect copy of Indomitable Spirit and to see if it was possible to create a more easily controlled counterpart of Wankuro.) (She heals faster when she drinks blood and her wings can develop sharpened edges.) (Compared to Wankuro, she's even faster and more agile but she's not as durable or strong.)

Ushimaru Nyujou (Noumu Subject: Minotaur): She and her parents were attacked by a villain. She went missing while her parents were killed. As it turned out, she was kidnapped by the League of Villains who wanted to create a more controllable counterpart of Wankuro. Although not very dangerous when left alone, causing her pain makes her go on a mad rampage of indiscriminate destruction. It should be noted that she could be irritated by the movement of a piece of cloth as it gets whipped around (meaning that she dislikes capes). Besides her original quirk, Bovine, which is a mutation quirk that gives her the horns, tail, hooves and 'generous assets' of a cow, she was forcibly given an imperfect copy of Wankuro's Indomitable Spirit, copies of Self-Recovery and Enhanced Strength (the same was Wankuro's) and Impact Boost which increases the impact damage of her attacks (overusing it would cause her to suffer damage). (She likes fresh vegetables and grains in general. She also likes smelling flowers.) (She is easily the most easy-going of the noumus when left alone but she is highly aggressive when provoked.) (She has dark-brown skin, black hair, blue eyes, a tall and slender frame with large breasts, wide hips and well-built muscles and the black horns horns, ears, tail and hooves of a bull.) (She's inspired by the Minotaur of MGE.) (Compared to Wankuro, she's even stronger, tougher and more able to heal from her injuries but she's slower and less agile.) (She's even taller than Wankuro.)

Bunraku Ningyou (Noumu Subject: Puppet): She was abused by her upper-class family who wanted her to be the "perfect daughter". As a result, she ran away from home and was quickly captured by the League of Villains who then turned her into a noumu. Not unlike most noumu, she was similar a puppet or a golem as she would remain passive until given instructions. She could have been a successful creation capable of controlling other noumus but her tendency to disobey certain orders made her a failure. Besides her original quirk, Ball-Joint Body, which is a mutation quirk that grants her highly flexible joints (360% rotation for shoulders, hips, waist and head), she was also forcibly given an imperfect copy of Wankuro's Indomitable Spirit, a copy of Self-Recovery (the same was Wankuro's), Fingertip Strings which allows her to produce string from her fingertips that can be used to tie up victims and even cut things apart (each finger digit produces a single string), Puppeteer's Touch which allows her to take control of anyone whom she touches with her hands (she must have at least one finger on the person's spine to control the said person's body but her strings can act as extensions of her fingers) and Armoured Skin which allows her skin to become hardened like body armour. (She likes tea and confectioneries that go well with it.) (She is the most passive of the noumus when left alone but her genuine smiles are considered to be the most beautiful.) (She has pale skin, long silky black hair, black eyes and a slender frame.) (I actually had trouble coming up with the third noumu OC when I realised that I could make her something similar to a living doll or a living puppet.) (Compared to Wankuro, she is far more flexible, is surprisingly durable and can produce strings from her fingertips which can take control of people. However, she lacks Wankuro's enhanced strength and her strings can be burnt away. Also, electricity can be conducted through the strings.)

I plan to update Izuku's Harem Academia and Izuku's Noumu Life next.

Until next time, go beyond, plus ultra!
