Izuku was at the age where he could attend elementary school and learn with other children. Nedzu was dreading the day when he could no longer keep Izuku inside his office to watch after him. He originally thought of just tutoring him on his own, but thought of the isolation it might give Izuku. He wanted Izuku to reach out and make connections through new friends, even though it broke his heart to not have him by his side.
So he simply decided on a close by elementary school with good reviews from parents. He enlisted Eraserhead to sign Izuku up as his guardian since he didn't want to intimidate the school just yet. He signed Izuku up as Midoriya Izuku since with some past searching her given name was Midoriya.
"But I'm going to miss you, Papa!" Izuku whined, holding onto his papa's hand as Nedzu walked Izuku to the front of the UA steps for Aizawa to trade off.
Nedzu smiled at him, "I will too , little mouse. But don't worry, the school day doesn't last as long as you think it does. Before you know it, you will be back with me at UA."
"Promise?" Izuku asked, his eyes filled with stars.
"I promise. Now try to make new friends at this school and just be yourself." Nedzu added.
Izuku smiled brightly, "Okay, Papa! Love you!"
"Love you as well," Nedzu responded, waving as he watched his son being escorted by a casual dressed Aizawa.
"Come on, kid," Aizawa replied fondly, taking a hold of Izuku's hand to walk with him to his new school.
Izuku grinned and took his uncle's hand. He was sad to be separated from his father, but was very excited to make new friends.
The hours didn't seem to fly by fast enough for Nedzu since all he did in his office was wonder about how Izuku was doing in his new school. He kept getting a feeling like he should have just went with his original idea, but he waved it off as the parental separation anxiety kicking in.
It took many hours before Nedzu was free to go back to reclaim his son from Uncle Aizawa at the front of UA. But Nedzu was worried since Izuku was acting very quiet. He would have been smiling and jumping around by now since he was a little ball of energy. Why does he look so down?
"Bye bye, Uncle Zawa." Izuku said, waving before heading inside without waiting for his Papa. Nedzu looked back towards his son in confusion before turning back to Aizawa.
"What happened?"
Aizawa looked at him with a look of worry behind his tired eyes, "I have no idea. Izuku has been acting strangely since I picked him up. Something might have happened in the school. I tried to start a conversation when we were walking back but he only nodded and replied in very short answers like he wasn't really paying attention to what I asked."
"Strange. I'll go ask him about what's happening." Nedzu replied
"Good, I'll head out for my early patrol. See you," Aizawa responded, looking very worried.
"Yes, see you." Nedzu replied waving off his past student before going inside to check on his son. When he walked in however he was greeted by Touya who looked very concerned.
"Hey, What happened to Izuku?" Touya asked, the concern in his eyes shining through his pupils
Nedzu shrugged, "I have no clue, but I have a hunch that something bad must have happened. Why do you ask?"
"Well, when I said hello he kind of did something. He was acting like he was hiding something. Like a bruise or a cut on his arm. Like.."
"What?" Nedzu questioned.
"He," Touya looked off to the side to see if anyone was listening to their conversation before leaning in, "was acting like Shoto did when we were still in the care of that asshole."
Nedzu's eyes seemed to flare up when Touya looked into them. He almost stepped back when the energy of hatred that Nedzu seemed to put out almost immediately after he said that. "Oh? Really? Then, that won't do now will it? I'll go talk to Izuku before heading over to that elementary school to give them a piece of my mind if that is truly the case."
Nedzu walked past the hallways much to the fear of the students from the sadistic look in his eyes as he planned a very serious lawsuit against a school. "Izuku?" He called out smiling as he opened his office. His sadistic anger vanished when he heard his son's sobs coming from his office desk. He walked over to his desk only to bend down when he saw his young son curled up under the desk crying his eyes out.
"Little mouse?" Nedzu asked, trying to comfort Izuku's cries.
Izuku mumbled between sobs, "I don't want to go back. I wanna stay here. Can I just stay here, Papa?"
Nedzu looked at Izuku softly, "Izuku, what happened? Tell me, please."
Izuku sniffled and began to recount his day, "After Uncle Zawa,dropped me of, the teacher asked us to introduce ourselves. Each kid told their name, quirk, and what they wanted to be when they grew up."
Nedzu nodded, wiping Izuku's face with a tissue.
"When it got to me, I was just being myself like you told me. Hey, I'm Midoriya Izuku, I'm quirkless and I want to be a hero. They all laughed… everyone… even the teachers. When I told them I wasn't joking, their attitude changed. The teachers didn't believe me when another kid lied about me stealing their pencil and made me go in timeout. They didn't let me go to recess after one of the kids hurt my arm. When I tried to tell them that the other kid hurt me, they brushed me off and said I was lying. I wasn't lying!" Izuku sobbed, "The kids kept telling me how I couldn't be a hero since I had no quirk. They kept pushing me, teasing me about becoming a hero's punching bag, and lying about me to the teachers."
"Please. Don't make me go back." Izuku pleaded.
"You won't go back ever again to that school. You know why?" Nedzu asked his son who started to calm down from his sniffling.
"Why?" Izuku looked up to his father who started to smile back at him.
"I'll just teach you here. Right here in UA." Nedzu explained proudly.
"Really?!" Izuku asked excitedly.
"Yes. You won't ever have to go back to normal high school if you don't want to. And if you do, I will just set you up in the same one Iida is enrolled in so he can protect you if you wished for when you grow up." Nedzu answered back before Izuku stopped him from saying anything further by hugging onto him.
"Yay! Papa can teach me!" Izuku cheered.
"Yes I can. I can begin teaching you as soon as next week."
"Why until next week?" Izuku questioned, tilting his head as Nedzu placed him down as he started a cartoon movie in a small television he set up just for Izuku.
"Oh, because Papa has some business to attend to to make sure certain people sorry for a bad deed that have caused." Nedzu answered, exiting out of his office to go directly to the school to give them a piece of his mind. "Don't worry, I have Touya to come watch over you in just a moment."
Nedzu walked fast down the first year hallway to arrive at the class Touya was in. "Fukuyama Touya. Report to my office immediately."
"Nedzu?" The teacher questioned as Touya stood up quickly to get to his office.
"He is excused." Nedzu reported to the teacher before he moved his attention to the first year teenager with his dyed black and purple hair. "I'm going out for a bit to have a word with that school, you watch over Izuku while I'm gone," Nedzu whispered to him in the hallway.
"Right, go kick some ass," Touya commented with as it, walking off in the direction Izuku was in.
"Oh please, they will wish they had no behind after I'm done with them." Nedzu answered back threateningly as he strutted right outside to get to his car.
When Nedzu showed up to the school office after all the children went home, every employee was shocked he was there.
"Nedzu? Principal of UA? Why are you here?" The secretary asked with widened eyes, her little antennas were straight up.
"To talk with the principal of this establishment on recent matters concerning why my son exactly came home crying."
"Y-you have a son?"
Nedzu smiled sadistically as the teachers all looked scared, "oh yes, Midoriya Izuku. Ring a bell to anyone here?"
"He was signed in by someone else…"
"Yes, me being his father was certain to bring more attention than I ever wanted for him. I wanted him to have an honest experience with the public," Nedzu responded before the look in his eyes turned dark when one of the teachers paled at hearing the name. "It seems it was my mistake to trust just anybody, teacher or not, with taking care of MY son."
The principal came out of his office from the ruckus outside only to freeze up when he saw the ever threatening look on Nedzu's face. Before the principal could say anything, Nedzu slammed down lawsuit papers on the table.
"This is my official statement. I'm suing you for what you have done to my son. These papers list down everything from bullying to discrimination to a restraining order on every single person here to stay far away from me and my son ever again. I will see all of you in court." Nedzu said, walking off after successfully ping seeing the principal look as if he soiled his pants.
For the next week between being the principal of UA and a father, Nedzu was going to the courthouse to see what was the right punishment for the school. In his eyes, it was simple...
Getting rid of everyone.
The school wasn't the problem, the people in it was the issue. So each person was fired from their positions to never teach again in that school or anyone in that area. The only way for them to teach again is by going to. A sort of rehab program that teaches them to respect, stop bullying and discrimination and more. The program made sure that they understand the meaning of their bad ways by going into very tough learning practices. They also had to renew their teaching licenses after all of that if they ever wanted to step foot into a classroom again.
The school was under new management by people who Nedzu personally picked out from multiple colleges across the country. He made sure they had good views on the world and absolutely made sure that that they dealt with bullying when they first see it.
The children who hurt his precious Izuku also got a talking to from him and their parents for exactly what they did. The families got restraining orders as well, just in case.
Nedzu walked into his office after a long day of court work to find Touya hanging out with Izuku. He looked even closer to find they were both napping on the chair. He smiled at the two, happy that they were more comfortable with their new life. Touya has his family finally happy and Izuku didn't have to get hurt by discrimination.
That reminds Nedzu. He should start a quirkless anti-bullying and discrimination type of charity to help people like Izuku grow up safely.
"What is the most important thing to do if you are a hero in a rescue situation?" Nedzu asked, holding up a picture of a hero next to a burning building.
"Saving the people who need help and making sure they are okay with a medic or emergency responders." Izuku replied quickly.
Nedzu nodded, "Correct. Now what is 12 multiply by 6?"
"72?" Izuku hesitated before answering with a question.
"Right!" Nedzu congratulated before moving onto the next problem.
It has only been a few weeks since Nedzu had taken Izuku out of that wretched elementary school and began teaching him in his office and sometimes at home. Nedzu wouldn't have it any other way.
Nedzu smiled as Izuku continued his work in his little notebook when Nedzu switched over to his next topic that he thought Izuku would be the most interested in.
"So, how do you feel about analyzing some quirks?" Nedzu asked.
"Yeah!" Izuku looked excited when Nedzu places a composition notebook into his hands.
Journal No1 written on the cover.
