Robo Inferno
Momo Yaoyorozu was currently working on her studies in the early morning. Every day, she would wake up to read on the molecular makings of items like flashbangs or other useful items to help her in the future.
For the last couple of days Momo has been practicing with her quirk Creation. Just recently she has made things like smoke grenades, metal poles for combat, and even cannons for that extra damage.
She was struggling to make flashbangs from her quirk because it was new to her and she was afraid of using them because of the explosion it would make.
Momo then then lifted her shirt revealing her stomach to create a Rubik's cube. The young Yaoyorozu proceeded to solve the cube and finished it in about minute and thirty.
'New record,' Momo thought to herself.
*Knock! Knock! *
Momo turned towards the door, "Come in."
The door opened and revealed to be Momo's butler Botan who was Japanese American that has served the Yaoyorozu family for many years, "Young miss? Its time for breakfast. You don't want to keep your parents waiting now, would you?"
Momo smiled then got up to get ready for the day, "Tell my parents I'll be right down, just have to get dressed."
"Yes madam," The butler replied before leaving.
After getting dressed she made her way down towards the kitchen where her parents were discussing about a business trip they were going to go on in a couple of months.
Mr. Yaoyorozu noticed his daughter and gave her a heartwarming smile, "Morning my sweet pumpkin. Did you have a good night's rest?"
"Yes father, I'm sorry I stayed up. I was just practicing my quirk to see how far I can go before getting tired. I promise it won't happen again," Momo politely said to her father who couldn't help but smirk at his daughter.
"Its fine Momo, you're training to become a hero now so that's to be expected. Just don't overdo it, ok?"
"Yes father."
The Yaoyorozu family began eating their breakfast together while watching news about another villain attack by some kind of sludge monster. The heroes were unable to apprehend him which led to the deaths of a couple people.
Ayuko couldn't help but cringe in disgust at that last part. Even though crime was down and Japan had become peaceful, villains were still around causing harm and destruction where ever they go.
Momo kept on eating her breakfast until Botan came walking up to them, "Mr. and Mrs. Yaoyorozu."
"Yes Botan?" Daiji questioned.
"A letter has arrived from U.A."
Momo perked up when she heard about the hero school. She was wondering if it was about her Recommendation exam that was going to happen in the future.
"U.A. huh? I wonder what it might be?" Momo's mother added.
"I guess we'll find out," Daiji said to his wife.
He took the letter out of Botan's hand and ripped it open to see what the letter said. Ayuko and her daughter sat there silently as Daiji read the letter to himself. A couple of seconds later Mr. Yaoyorozu put the letter down processing what he just read.
"What is it hon?"
Daiji turned to his wife, "The principal of U.A. has personally asked for you Momo."
…
…
"Are they serious?" Mrs. Yaoyorozu questioned,
"Why me?" Momo asked wondering why Principal Nezu would ask for her.
Daiji focused his attention to his daughter and told her, "It looks like Principal Nezu is asking for your help in making Englander feeling comfortable in society and help him with his studies."
At the mention of Englander, she stood up quickly with a surprised expression. This was a great opportunity to properly thank Englander for rescuing her and her family.
However, Momo's mother wasn't all for the plan because she feared that Momo would lose focus on her own studies, "Momo? Are you sure you want to do this? What about your own studies and training?
Momo thought about what her mother had said and felt torn too. She also had her own studies to think about and training to do, but at the same time she wanted to help the boy and repay for what he did for her.
"I'll think about it for now mother. If I did say yes father, when would I start?"
"Oh, it says you can start now."
…
…
"What?"
Momo's father quickly got up and put on his jacket and began walking out the door excited, "Come on you two! We don't want to keep principal Nezu waiting!"
Momo and her mother were dumfounded but were brought back to reality when Botan got their attention and informed them that Mr. Yaoyorozu was outside in the family car.
Mrs. Yaoyorozu could only massage her head before standing up and making her way to the car. Momo followed but before she left, she faced her butler Botan, "Goodbye Botan. I'll see you later."
"Don't worry young miss. I won't be going anywhere."
Momo and her parents go into their car and drove to U.A. feeling excited and nervous at the same time.
Over at the U.A. dorms, Henry Clarke was having yet another nightmare. This time was worse, he was currently curled up into a ball while covering his head. He was sweating bullets causing his bed to be wet.
He moved around on the floor causing him to hit the table and knock down one of his history books which landed on him. This caused him to jump up and grab his bayonet knife from under his bed, ready to attack.
Henry soon realized that nothing was going to hurt him and it was only a dream. A very bad dream.
'It getting worse…I need a drink,' Henry rubbed his face to wake himself up. He sheathed his blade and proceeded to walk over his gear to grab something in his backpack.
The young lad pulled out a flask which was still pretty full surprisingly. The flask was gifted to him by his commanding officer James Buford after a couple days when Henry revealed his powers. Given to the lad as a sign of respect.
James gave Henry the flask to help dull the pain the young boy experienced when using his quirk. While it did help lessen the pain, it was still bad for the young boy to be drinking alcohol.
Henry took a swig of rum down the drain. The young lad didn't seem fazed by the rum but could feel it slowly kicking in.
"Lets just hope that Recovery girl doesn't find out about this…"
He then proceeded to get himself ready for the day and take some time to read some of his history books. Henry started off by reading history after the great war.
When reading more about the year after the war, he couldn't believe that there was a second world war. How could the world be plunged into chaos even after the great war's destructive result?
Principal Nezu had conversations with him about the second world war. He learned that this war was the deadliest. The advancement of tanks had brought a new form of mechanized warfare that could destroy companies of soldiers within minutes.
Germany was one of the best mechanized armies in the start of the war but later it became the soviets and Americans.
Henry couldn't help but read and feel astonished on how the world has changed for better and for worse.
*Knock! Knock! *
Henry turned his attention towards the door wondering who it was, "Um…who is it?"
"It's me Nemuri."
The young lad smiled and walked towards the door opening it and revealing Nemuri in her Midnight hero suit and Principal Nezu riding on her back.
"Good morning Henry! Are you ready for today!"
Henry Groaned at the Principals loud voice making the poor boy wanting to go back to bed, "What's today again?"
Midnight walked up to the young lad with a concern look, "It's the day where we do combat training and see how your skills are. Are you feeling alright Henry? You look exhausted?"
Midnight stroked Henry's face with her hand while staring at the boy she had taken under her care. Henry found the gesture nice and heartwarming, but cut it short so that he could get his gear ready for combat.
"Alright, I'll go get ready for the training. Who will take me there?" Henry asked earning a happy smile from the principal. He climbed to the top of Midnights head which was funny to Henry but made the female pro-hero annoyed by such action.
"Present Mic and Eraser head will take you by car to one of our fake cities. Oh, I'm so excited to see how you do! I can't wait!" Principal Nezu couldn't help but throw his arms up in the air feeling ecstatic. His excitement caused Midnight's hair to become messed up making her feel annoyed.
Midnight calm herself down from principal Nezu and turned her attention to Henry, "Don't take too long Henry or should I call you, Englander."
Both Midnight and Nezu proceeded to exit out the dorms leaving Henry to get his gear ready.
As he was finishing up with his gear, he remembered that his weapons were taken from him and was being stored by the teachers in an undisclosed area of the school.
With all his gear ready with him and his Brodie helmet on his head. He exited out of his room and proceeded to march his way towards the outside where he will meet up with Present Mic and Eraser head.
'I feel like this is going to be a rough day.'
The combat training would be taking place in a more urban environment. Nezu and the other teachers thought a city type environment would be a great place to see how Englander would react in this new area.
Many of the teachers were eager to see what this boy was capable of while some were skeptical about him. In the end however they wanted see what Englander was good at and what he needed to work on.
One of the people that was going to watch the training session was not a teacher but a respectful hero who wanted thank the great war hero.
It was none other than Tensei Ida, the turbo hero Ingenium. Compared to Snipes who was excited to. Tensei was more excited and with him was a biography about Englander.
"Ah Tensei, its so nice to see you again."
Tensei turned to see Recovery Girl and Thirteen walking up to him. They were ecstatic to see an old student. The old nurse remembered how Tensei would come in and help her out with some of the other students with their injuries. He had a heart of a hero.
"Recovery Girl, Thirteen. Its nice to see you too," In an instant Thirteen gave a soft hug to the turbo hero which he happily returned. He broke the hug and gave one to Recovery girl who gave back to him, due to her height Tensei took a knee to get to the nurse's height.
"How's Hosu? I heard crime over there has been decreasing little by little?" Thirteen asked Tensei who chuckled at the statement.
"I would like to believe that but I have to say that crime there has been growing. Mostly small crimes like robberies and disturbance of the peace," Tensei told the two heroes.
"How's your brother? I heard he was held hostage at Cambrai and was hurt by one of Devil Dog's goons?" asked Recovery Girl.
Tensei looked down feeling horrible at the memory of that day. During the whole situation he felt helpless just watching as Devil Dog counted down before he was about to execute young Momo on live TV.
Luckily the one and only Englander arrived and saved the day. Tensei just couldn't wait to meet the boy.
"Well, my brother is feeling a lot better since he's back home. A little shaken up but he'll eventually return back to his normal self."
"Yes, he is going to take the U.A. entrance exam in the months ahead. So, he's gotta be ready for it! Mentally and physically!" Recovery girl stated loudly causing Tensei to laugh along with Thirteen.
Far from the conversation stood Toshinori Yagi in his deflated form. He watched as the teachers talked among themselves while he stood alone to think about the conversation he was going to have with Gran Torino.
Before he could think further, he looked down to his side to see Principal Nezu with a huge smile.
"Toshinori! You sleep well?" Nezu asked the number 1 hero.
Toshinori could only groan feeling exhausted from all the hero work he did yesterday. For 1 hour he was stopping villains robbing stores, the 2nd hour he was rescuing people from crashes or burning buildings, and the final hour was spent trying to find a dog that a boy lost.
Now the last one was pretty hard since the dog was small but super-fast for some reason.
"To be honest with you I can use some more sleep. But I couldn't miss this opportunity for young Henry," Toshinori said to the short principal.
Nezu patted the number 1 hero's leg, "This is also a great opportunity to improve your teaching skills. After all, the symbol of peace can always teach the symbol of hope a few fighting tips."
Toshinori chuckled at what the principal said and found the statement true. If he was going to become a teacher or mentor for future heroes he needed to practice.
"Your right Nezu."
Nezu smiled and walked to the front of the room to get everyone ready for training session. Once he announced the session would be beginning soon all the teachers proceeded to their chairs to watch through the monitors. Tensei sat on a bench to watch and waited eagerly to see the Great War hero in action.
Present Mic, Aizawa, Snipe, and Midnight stood outside the boy's locker room as they waited for Henry to get himself ready.
"So, Shota? You think Englander going to be able to take down these robots?" Present Mic asked his fellow teacher. Aizawa wasn't interested in talking but found it to be futile.
"If the stories of him taking down multiple soldiers and tanks in the final days of the great war are true. I'm pretty sure the robots wouldn't be hard for him."
Snipe walked up to the two to add in on the conversation, "Listen Mic, you may have some doubts about the boy. But you saw how he did back in Cambrai, took down those armed men like they were nothing."
Mic rolled his eyes at snipe, "I guess your right Snipe. It just doesn't feel right that a young kid should be fighting villains, let alone armed men. He's too young to be doing this kind of stuff."
Snipe and Aizawa were surprised to hear Mic so worried for Henry. Mic was usually not interested in hearing the stories of Englander from Snipe or from history books.
In a way however the two teachers knew why he was like this. A young 14-year-old boy fighting a war and doing things no boy should do.
"He had no choice Mic; besides it was war. We were trained in hero academies with help from our teachers when we were young. Henry had to learn and train his own quirk to become his own kind of hero without any guidance in becoming a hero," Aizawa told his friend. Snipe nodded in agreement and Mic felt a little better, it was now the UA's staff duty help the young soldier in becoming a hero.
Midnight stood next to the door waiting for Henry to come out. She decided to not talk she was concerned for Henry's wellbeing. Today he seemed very out of it but kept up a positive attitude.
If only she had a quirk to read minds, she would know what was going on in that boy's head.
*Zoom*
The opening of the door caught the attention of the four heroes and before them was Henry in his great war hero suit.
"Midnight? What are you doing here? I thought you would be in the observation room you told me about?" Henry asked.
Midnight walked up to the boy and placed her hand on the boy's shoulder with a worried look, "Just want to see if you're doing ok from this morning. I don't want you to get hurt during the session."
Henry couldn't help but smile at the woman's attention to his wellbeing. If it wasn't for the staff of UA helping it out in these dark times, he would've probably lost himself to this new age.
"I appreciate you asking how I'm doing but really I'm fine. Just stayed up a little reading my history book," Henry lied not wanting to worry the R-rated hero anymore.
Aizawa walked up to Henry with tired eyes as usual, "Ok kid, its time to see if your as good as history says you are. You'll be put through one of the toughest training sessions since you know how to fight."
Henry nodded his head until Snipe and Mic walked up to the boy to encourage the young lad.
"Its going to be hard kid, even the third years still have a hard time doing this training session," Snipe stated.
"It's going to be a hellish experience if you're not on you're A game," Mic said not trying to show that he too was worried for the young boy.
Henry stood still taking in what Mic said. He wasn't angry at the teacher but just felt that his ability to fight was being down played. After all, he survived the battles of Verdun and Passchendaele.
"Present Mic, Snipe, Mr. Aizawa, and Midnight."
All four teachers looked towards the young boy feeling like something was wrong.
"I've been through hell and back. I've fought in the muddy lands of Passchendaele and the cratered invested battlefield of Verdun. I know your all worried for me but you all need to know that I am a soldier who is willing to fight to the end if needed."
Henry turned around to face the teachers which made them all surprised at what they saw.
In front of them displayed Englander with a hardened expression on the boy's face that gave a shiver to some of the heroes. Never have they seen a young kid display such a killer look.
"Ok…remind me to never piss you off kid," Snipe said. Midnight shook the fear off and walked towards the young boy to cheer up him up.
Henry faced Midnight with the same expression but slowly lost it when she gave him a light hug which made him slowly return it, "Your skills are not being downplayed Henry, we all worry for you because of the things you did and went through all those years ago. Your only 16 years old and that's why we all worry."
Midnight gave a heartwarming kiss on the head which caused Henry to look at her with eyes wide open, "I know though that you have the making of becoming one of the greatest pro heroes our world will see. We all believe you…I believe you."
Henry couldn't help but tear up a little at the heart felt words from his care taker. He looked to Mic, Aizawa, and Snipe who all stood their watching the two interact. They gave him smiles and thumbs up showing their support for him.
The young soldier broke the hug and stood tall then gave the teachers a salute, "I won't let you down. I'll show you how us Brit's fight!"
"HELL YEA!" Snipe yelled out causing the teachers to look at him with a dumbfounded expression. The teacher soon realized what he had done and composed himself quickly.
Henry chuckled and proceeded out the door but forgot one thing…
He forgot where to go.
"Follow me right this way."
The Yaoyorozu family had arrived at UA high and were currently following Cementoss to the monitor room. Momo was ecstatic to be walking the halls of one of the most prestigious hero schools in Japan.
Momo's parents couldn't help but smirk at how excited their daughter were. It always made them happy seeing her act normal from time to time.
They soon arrived at the room and walked in to see all the teachers sitting down in their chairs to view the monitors. Some of the teachers saw the Yaoyorozu family feeling confused on why civilians were there.
Momo felt a little nervous in being in a room with so many well-known heroes and couldn't stop her heart beating so fast. Her parents were fine since they have met some heroes when it had to do with their work.
"Ah Mr. and Mrs. Yaoyorozu! Its nice to see you."
The Yaoyorozu family turned to see Nezu walking up to them with a bright smile.
"Principal Nezu, it's nice to see you. Its an honor to be here kind sir," Mr. Yaoyorozu said while crouching down to shake the short man's hand.
"There's no need for such words. I'm just glad you accepted to help us out here at UA."
Mr. Yaoyorozu nodded his head in agreement when all of a sudden Mrs. Yaoyorozu walked up to the principal with a worried expression.
"If you don't mind me asking Principal. How's the young man doing?" Mrs. Yaoyorozu asked with great concern for Henry's wellbeing.
"Henry is still adjusting to the world around him. Sometimes the boy is happy with all the new gizmos and gadgets this age has to offer. But I could tell he is feeling a little lonely staying here at UA," Nezu replied.
"Wait? Why is he staying here at UA? Shouldn't he be going back home to the U.K.?" Momo added in on the conversation. Both her parents were also worried because they saw on the news that Henry was staying here at UA.
"There was a problem with the British government when we were going to return him back. They made the decision to not allow him to return home because of reasons we cannot speak about," Nezu said with a sad smile.
"What!? How could they do that to him!? I swear, once I find out why they did it I'm going to give those people a lecture!" Mrs. Yaoyorozu stated loudly causing some of the teachers to look to the group. Mr. Yaoyorozu went to his wife's side to calm her down which worked.
"It's alright Ayuko…let it go for now. I'm also angry what the British government did but we'll find out why later on. People will start asking questions and the British will have to explain eventually."
Ayuko slowly smiled feeling her anger disappear. She felt the comfort from the two most important people in the world which made her really happy.
"It's ok mom. Even if Henry doesn't return home, at least he'll be safe here at UA," Momo said.
Ayuko place her hand on her daughters' shoulder and gave her a wide grin that made Momo and Daiji feel happy and optimistic.
Nezu was glad seeing the family feel better after the news. He was soon interrupted when Thirteen walked up besides, "Principal, Henry has arrived at the city replica with Midnight and the others. The combat exercise will begin slowly."
"Thank you Thirteen," Nezu said to his fellow teacher. He then turned to the Yaoyorozu family to give them a place to sit to watch the monitor.
"I like to inform you three that the combat exercise will commence soon. Let me show you where you will be sitting down."
Yaoyorozu family followed the principal to three chairs facing the monitors. Momo sat down in anticipation, waiting to see what her hero Henry was capable of.
Her parents couldn't help but feel excited to see what other things Henry was capable of and see if stories told by soldiers were true. For her she felt nervous for the boy.
Everybody in the room took their seats and were ready to watch the young man fight.
Once arriving at the urban city, Henry looked around to take it all in. It was certainly different from the urban environment he was used to. Midnight followed by Snipe walked up to the young boy.
"Good luck Henry, I have faith in you and I know your going to be great in the exercise!" Midnight happily said while giving him a bear hug. Henry happily accepted then turned to Snipe.
"Give them a show Englander! Let us see what your truly capable of!" Snipe shouted enthusiastically.
Henry grinned and gave them a thumbs up, "I won't disappoint."
"Hey."
The three individuals turned to see Aizawa standing there looking tired as always, "Snipe, Midnight, its time for us to take our leave."
"Ok Aizawa, you know? You could so pushy sometimes," Midnight responded back causing Aizawa to groan and Snipe to chuckle.
After saying their goodbyes, Henry was left alone. He inspected his gear to find it nice and tight. His Lee- Enfield rifle was loaded and then proceeded to equip his bayonet for close combat.
Englander slowed down his breathing to calm himself down.
'It never gets easier…' Henry thought to himself as he prepared for battle. He put on his goggles with his face mask to cover his mouth from dust.
"ALL RIGHT!"
Englander looked up to see Present Mic standing on top of building with his speakers on.
"LET'S SEE WHAT YOUR MADE OF ENGLANDERRRR! OH YEAH!"
Englander was dumbfounded at how loud Present Mic was and realized that his quirk allowed him to be very loud which was annoying to the young soldier.
"READY!? GO!"
Englander then began jogging into the city. From what he understood from Midnight was that this exercise was to see his combat skills and what he could approve upon.
If he was going to be staying at this school, he would have to become a student. As for hero work, he would not be able to go by himself since he is a kid and the laws prevent him from doing any kind of hero work.
Englander decided for the next option was to get to higher ground for a better view. He stopped and positioned himself close to a building and powered up for his jump.
The young soldier launched himself off the ground making his way up the building. He started to lose momentum but luckily grabbed onto the ledge before gravity could do its job.
The city was quiet with only the sound of birds to take its place. Englander didn't know where the enemy was but was prepared for anything to come his way.
"Now where are these automatons Aizawa talked about?"
Unknown to the soldier, a U.A. practice robot from another building saw the man. The robot saw this as an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Englander.
Englander eventually spotted a couple of robots rolling down the street looking for him. He was stunned on how big these machines were. Machines built with arms and legs or had treads like a tank. Designed for combat against young UA students for combat training. However, they would never prepare these students for the real deal.
*Clang! *
Englander's eyes went wide and turned around slowly only to see a couple of robots pulling themselves on the roof.
"Shit!"
Englander aimed his Lee- Enfield rifle towards the machine and shot at it. It only proved to be futile since the bullets did little to stop advancing robots.
"Nowhere to run hero," One of the robots said. The robots were now on the roof and started to rush towards him. Englander grew a little irritated.
One robot raised its arm and threw it down on him. He quickly dodged by side stepping then proceeded to push kick the robot, knocking other's down with it. Celebration would have to wait because the robots were now increasing their attacks.
Englander dodged under most of them trying his best to not stay in this spot. He needed to get off the roof and get some distance between him and these automatons. He eventually backed up towards the edge of the building and thought of something dumb.
"Screw it!" Henry shouted to himself.
Englander prepared himself to jump off the building but before he could. He grabbed one of his grenades and pulled the pin. The young soldier threw them at the robots.
*BOOM! *
Henry began to fall through the air feeling himself being pulled towards the ground. Behind was a small explosion that did its job taking out some of the robots. Englander turned around and smiled feeling great before he lost that grin when he saw a couple of robots falling down behind him.
"Bloody hell!"
He noticed that he was getting closer to the ground and prepared himself land. Englander sticked the landing before going into a sloppy roll, hurting his body in the process. The amount of gear he was carrying contributed to the pain but wouldn't stop him entirely.
The young soldier quickly got up to see a couple of robots no more than 6 staring him down and slowly moving towards him. Henry knew that theses robots wouldn't stop their chase, so he decided to fight them head on.
"Alright, lets go!"
Henry charged with his bayonet at the ready. The first robot threw its huge arm and Henry but the young man saw this coming. He used his quirk, propelling himself in the air then landing on the robot's shoulders.
When the robot turned its head all around it was surprised to see Englander standing on its shoulder. Henry then stabbed his bayonet into the big eye of the robot causing it to spiral out of control. Jumping off in the nick of time, the young lad saw the robot crash in to a wall destroying itself in the process.
Englander turned back to the others when he noticed two robots closing the distance with him. He brought up his rifle and shot it at the automatons.
*Bang! *
*Bang! *
*Bang! *
However, the shots did little to penetrate the armor of the robots. Englander realized this and decided to grab his grenade. He was only equipped with four but they would do fine to combat the robots.
He sprinted forward towards his enemies and was ready to attack. Just about a few seconds before the robots attacked, Englander slid under the advancing robots and popped two of his grenades under the machines.
An explosion erupted destroying the robots leaving bits pieces in their place. Englander felt relieved that it was over for those robots, but he soon realized that more robots came and started to charge towards the young soldier.
"How many of these goddamn automatons are there!?" Englander yelled furiously.
Instead of running to buy himself some breathing, he decided it was time to get his hands dirty. Englander pointed the bayonet of his rifle and prepared himself for the worst situation he was about to be in.
"Man, this kid is freaking crazy."
Present Mic stated with some of his fellow teachers agreeing with him. While Englander wasn't showing much use of his quirk, he did show how resourceful he was with his equipment and the way he used he fought against the UA robots.
Instead of fighting head on, Englander decided to keep his distance from the robots and take them out from far away. While the bullets from his Lee-Enfield did little on the robot's armor.
Aiming the weakest points like the big red eye was a good way to immobilize the robots. The use of his bayonet against the robots was very effective and showed the teachers just how trained he was with his blade.
However, not all the teachers agreed with Mic. Aizawa didn't like the way Englander fought and found the tactics he pulled were risky and stupid. His form was sloppy and could be easily defeated by a well-trained villain.
Recovery girl was afraid for Henry. While he was more trained with his quirk than other kids his age, his usage was too much. The more time he spent on using his quirk on retreating meant the closer he would start coughing up blood.
"He's keeping his distance from the robots and taking them down one by one," Snipe stated with great interest.
"He wants to shorten their numbers so it'll be easier to defeat them. However, just like you saw his rifle can't penetrate their thick armor but can take out their eyes," Tensei said.
The whole Yaoyorozu family were on the edge of their seats, especially Daiji. To see a person from history alive was like a dream come true.
Daiji and Ayuko were both cheering for the boy while Momo was worried and concerned for the young hero.
Even though this was combat practice, Momo knew that Henry would still get hurt but was confident that he will pull through.
Nezu turned to Midnight, "He's going to make a great student."
Midnight smiled, "I know sir. While he might have combat and physical training down. I believe that school work is going to be hard for him. Plus, he needs some help fitting in with the other kids."
"You are right Midnight. He's going to need a tutor to help him learn, but not just from us teachers. That's why I already have someone in mind to help in both academics and culture."
"Who do you have in mind Nezu?" Midnight asked the principal.
The short man didn't respond and only turned his gaze towards the Yaoyorozu family. Midnight followed the principal's direction to see the family and was surprised.
"Are sure it's a good idea sir?" Midnight asked.
The short principal gave the teacher a smile as he faced Midnight, "I believe it is vital for young Henry to connect with others than the staff here at UA. Japan is his home now, which means he should make friends around his age."
Midnight thought back at the times she spent with Henry as she got to know more about him. Even though Henry was outgoing with her she could tell he was very shy and quiet with some of the other teachers. Just the other day when Henry and her was walking around campus they both spotted a family walking down the street across from the school.
The family consisted of a mother and father walking with their 2 kids, a boy and girl. Midnight smiled thinking about one day she might find someone to share that happiness with. As she started to walk away, she noticed Henry not moving.
At that moment Henry couldn't help but stare at the family. The smiles they had as they talked and walked together made him feel sad. He couldn't help but think about his own family who he cherished more than anything in the world.
It took a couple minutes before Henry resumed his walk with Midnight but the poor boy was quiet as they made their way back to his room.
"Momo Yaoyorozu, a smart child with a bright future ahead of her. Good grades, confident, a young genius in the classroom, and good manners. She's the perfect person to help Henry," Nezu explained.
"I agree principal. He did rescue her and she rescued him. It's only fitting they both meet their saviors," Midnight smiled.
As the two of them spoke to each other, the other teachers had their eyes clued at the monitor. Tensei was jittering in his seat. Just watching Henry go at it with the robots was like reading a comic book or watching a super hero show.
Henry kept on dashing and jumping around these robots, targeting specific areas on their bodies. Aiming his punches on vital points of the robots to immobilize them and tear them to pieces.
"This is so unreal," he said.
Recovery girl looked to her former student and smiled, "He's quite something is he?"
Tensei turned to his favorite school nurse, "He's a remarkable kid. You know…I remember learning about him through some old war journals I got from an old history teacher back in middle school. It was the first time I was exposed to the story of Englander."
"Even after recent events its so unreal that such a person exists. It gives the world a whole new perspective on the history of quirks," Recovery girl added.
"His powers aren't really flashy and his quirk is a power type but I do believe with better training and practice he'll make a great hero and fine fighter," Tensei responded
Recovery girl agreed with her student but felt that if put in more training it would add more stress on Henry. She understood that the young man didn't have the chance at being a teenager. Spending most of his life in a wartime environment would have major damage to his mental state.
"I just hope he gets to live a better life here in Japan," Recovery girl stated.
Aizawa decided to spice things up and make it a bit challenging for the young soldier, "Let us see if he can deal with a real threat."
Momo and her family were confused while the UA staff understood and prepared themselves for what is to come. Aizawa turned to Snipe and gave him a nod which resulted in the gunslinging hero to press a red button.
"Oh boy, here we go," Toshinori quietly muttered.
"Nowhere to run hero!"
"That's what you think! Big hunk of junk!"
Englander saw the last remaining of robots in front of him which were about 6 bots. Taking them down were a bit hard making the young man feel the drawback of his quirk. Around him were destroyed robots that he had swiftly taken out.
One bot came in rushing with its huge fist ready to strike. Once arrived the robot tried smashing the young man but to no avail, Englander had dodged it. Taking this chance, the soldier threw a good right hook into the bot's body cutting it in half. He then proceeded to finish it off by stomping his boot on the robot's head. The young hero turned to see another robot with four arms attack but quickly dodged them by propelling himself to the side.
Before he could fight back, he was knocked down on his face from a robot behind him. The robot then picked up Henry and threw him into a light post which really hurt the poor boy's back.
"Son of a bitch…" Englander groaned.
The young soldier slowly got up but went back on his knees while massaging his back, "My back…oof my back."
"Time to face your demise hero."
The four-armed robot was about to grab Englander but rolled to the side just before it grabbed him. The young man ripped the arm off then went to go get the other one. The robot continued to fight but Englander gave an uppercut which obliterated the robots head into a bunch of pieces. Englander grabbed his Webley and pointed it at another and shot it at its big red eye. The giant bot began to move around erratically which gave the great war hero the chance to attack.
He shot himself into air and looked down to see the robot. Englander then proceeded to hit the top of the bot's head with a powerful downward kick ending the villain bot instantly.
Englander stood up slightly to see the final three villain bots coming towards him. One had launchers, another had electrified whips, and finally the last had what resembled like a big cannon with tubes attached to its back.
Englander behind his goggles narrowed his eyes and felt determined to finish this fight once and for all. He sprinted forward with his rifle in hand and began to charge. The villain bot with launchers fired some grenades that were non-lethal but still caused some harm. The grenades landed near Englander but his combat instincts kicked in, he kicked the grenade away and picked up the other one and threw it at the robot. An explosion happened which knocked the villain bots back.
The young soldier dashed towards the downed robot, he brought his rifle up and bayoneted through the bot's eye. He kept on stabbing it until it stopped moving. All of a sudden Englander started to be shocked by whips that were wrapped around him.
"AAAAHHHHHH!" Englander screamed in pain as the shocks were getting worst by the minute. He opened up his eyes to glare at the bot and decided to grab the whips. He put the whips in his right hand and prepared his left to give the robot a punch in the face.
The villain bot then anchored itself down on the floor with spikes, to stay in place. The electricity started to increase but young hero grabbed the whips and pulled on them hard. The ground around the villain bot started to crack and eventually it was pulled from the ground and towards the soldier. Englander then push kicked the bot right in the middle, destroying its body causing into a million pieces.
The young soldier then was faced with his final enemy. As he was about to attack the villain bot, the robot raised its big cannon and pointed it at Englander. What came next made the young man freeze.
Out of the big canons came a huge stream of fire. Englander at that moment stood still and hesitated causing the man to lose his footing and trip. The robot closed in on Englander and fired its flames towards him.
The young man rolled out of the way which gave him a chance to get the hell out of there. Englander ran into a building and took some cover, he calmed himself down so he could focus back on the enemy. He never told anyone about his problem.
With such high duties and responsibility given to him during the great war. Englander focused more on the protection of his fellow comrades rather than focus on his wellbeing.
Ever since that day in Verdun, he was both mentally and physically scared.
Englander was soon interrupted when the villain bot broke into the place, he was hiding in. Englander sucked up his fear and kept his mouth shut, waiting for the enemy to come closer to him. He put down his rifle and then proceeded to grab his entrenching tool.
While the entrenching tool was used mostly to create a trench, it was also a good piece of equipment to use as a weapon.
The young soldier peeked from behind a pillar and glared at the bot despite the fear he was feeling. Englander picked up a rock and threw it to distract the robot. It took the bait but instead of heading towards the sound, it instead shot its flamethrower at the place where the noise was.
Englander sprinted out behind the cover with the target insight. The stomps from his boots alerted the villain bot but was too late. The soldier swinged his weapon right into the head of the bot which caused it to fall to the ground. It fired its flamethrower but Englander was able to stop it by grabbing both its arms and ripped them both off. To finish it off, the young man stomped the bot's head which caused it to stop functioning.
Before Englander could rest, the bot started to beat which caught the soldier's attention. The beeping continued and starting to getting faster. This caused Englander to realize what that beeping was, which made the boy rush out of the building with his rifle in hand. He was at a good distance when suddenly the building exploded.
Englander stood in place what seemed to be around 2-3 minutes. He surveyed his surroundings to make sure it was all clear and there were no threats in his vicinity. Once it was all clear, Englander sighed in relief and grabbed his canteen.
As he was drinking, Englander suddenly coughed really hard causing him to drop his canteen. He coughed some more into his hand, eventually making him take a knee.
Englander looked down on his gloved hand to see a small amount of blood on it. The young soldier started to panic a little but was soon interrupted.
*Rumble! *
The ground around Englander started shake including the water from his canteen. He stood back up despite the pain he was feeling in chest and throughout his body.
'I-It hurts…gotta keep going though. Can't give up just yet. You can do this Henry, you can do this,' Englander thought to himself as he pushed through the pain.
*Rumble! *
Englander looked towards source of the rumbling only to be shocked at what he saw.
What stood in front of him was a giant robot. It was about the same size as the building around him but the big bot was slightly taller.
"Holy shit!" Englander yelled out.
Englander in his entire service as a soldier would have never though he would be fighting a giant robot. Tanks were one thing but bots were a whole different thing for the great war hero.
The young soldier knew if he was going to win this, he would have to take the legs out first. Inhibiting its mobility was the key to win.
"You can do this!" Englander activated his quirk and propelled himself towards the bot's leg. He then punched the robot's leg, while it did make a dent it didn't destroy the leg. This shocked Englander because he never had this type of problem during fights with tanks or armored cars.
He was then knocked back causing him to crash into the ground.
"Oh no! he's over using his quirk!" Recovery girl yelled out.
"Isn't this a little bit chaotic for a practice session?" Momo stated. After seeing what happened with the robots and now with the giant one, she was concerned for Henry's wellbeing.
Everybody in the room were nervous because they saw the amount of pain Henry was going through.
"Young Yaoyorozu, it is alright to worry for Henry. You have to understand that he's a trained soldier. Despite his sloppy form. Have faith in his ability and will to fight," Principal Nezu said.
Momo looked down feeling embarrassed from what she said but was pulled from her deep thought when she felt her mother place her hand on her shoulder.
"He'll get through this Momo," Ayuko told her daughter to comfort her daughter. Her husband joined in by rubbing Momo's hair a bit.
"Don't worry my little pumpkin, I bet Henry is going to win this just like in the history books," Daiji gladly said.
Momo smiled feeling better after her parents comforted her. The family returned back to the screen only to see Henry struggling to fight against the giant robot.
Recovery girl could only try her best not to show the great amount of fear and concern she had. While most of the people in the room were focused on the screens.
Tensei noticed his former teacher and favorite school nurse tensing up. He decided to check up on Recovery girl and make sure she was ok.
"Recovery girl? Are you alright?" Tensei asked.
The school nurse did her best to hide her fear but fell short, "Oh! I'm sorry for worrying you Tensei. It's just I'm concerned for Henry."
"I know what you mean. The kid is a great fighter, but gets hurt in every fight he's been so far."
Recovery girl nodded her head agreeing with Tensei's statement. However, she found herself looking gloom the more she though about Henry's wellbeing.
Tensei notice this and decided to calm his old friend's nerves. He placed his hand on Recovery girl's shoulder which helped her calm down her nerves, "He's going to be in the best care in the world after all this. Yours."
Recovery girl couldn't help but smile and chuckle at her former student's words, "Thank you, Tensei. Even after all these years you are still one of my favorite students."
Tensei had a smirk on his face, "I know and you're my favorite school nurse."
Recovery girl and Tensei both laughed together but were interrupted when Snipe shouted.
"Holy moly! Look at that!"
Everybody's eyes were clued back on to the screen and were dumbfounded at what Henry was doing.
All Might was confused and couldn't help but scratch his head, "What the hell are you thinking Henry?"
As the giant robot stomped down the streets of the fake city. Englander was currently punching the shit out of the robot's foot, but it proved to futile since his attacks weren't doing much.
Punch after punch were causing Englander to start to have bloody knuckles. He eventually stopped and jumped away from the robot's foot to consider other options to take down the big automaton. One option was dropping a building on the robot, hoping it would crush it in the process. However, Englander didn't have enough explosives. He only had one grenade left and a flare gun but Englander knew that it would do little to stop the giant robot. Another option was to punch the robot straight through but with how his body was feeling, that was out of the window.
Before he could think of another idea, the robot locked on Englander. The giant bot's chest piece opened up revealing missiles which shocked the young soldier. The missiles shot out making a beeline towards the boy. Englander sprinted away to find some cover inside one of the buildings, he hid behind a broken-down wall which made him rest for a bit.
The missiles followed to where he was hiding but, on their way, they crashed into some parts of the building. A couple of missiles made it inside which made Englander almost shit himself, he ran out of the way. Making it in time before the explosion occurred and caused debris to be thrown around.
Englander knew his position was compromised and decided to run outside to find another place to find cover. As he was running through streets the robot once again fired its missiles at the young man, but this time the number of missiles doubled and were heading towards Englander. However, he was ready for them.
The British soldier waited till the missiles were very close and when they were, he jumped backwards trying to do a flip but failed. The explosion made the ground and buildings shake causing some class to break and fall. Luckily Englander was out of the way but not out of the fight.
'I can't keep this up! Eventually those things are going to get me and I'll be screwed! I gotta take that thing down now!'
Englander thought to himself as he ran up the street to get some distance from the robot. He found some cover to catch his breath and rest a little after that whole fiasco. As he rested, he thought back about the robot's missile attack. What surprised the young British boy was the amount of ammunition the robot had.
All of a sudden, Englander had an idea, a very stupid and dumb idea that had little chance of success. Also, it was really dangerous that could get him injured really badly.
He looked down to his hand to see his only grenade in his hand, 'That robot must have a storage or some sort of magazine to hold those darn missiles. If I drop this grenade in there, it might cause a big explosion and probably take out the whole thing in the process!'
The problem with his stupid plan was that he would have to find where the missiles were stored and throw his grenade in there. Hand grenades produced a small explosion but were a great tool in taking out a pill box or room. In Englanders case, it would be enough to cause a bigger explosion once he found that sweet spot inside the robot.
Englander stood up confidently with determination in his eyes. He saw the robot stomping down the streets of the city while destroying the sides of the buildings and creating craters every step it took. It was coming towards him but didn't notice the young man which gave him the chance to execute his plan.
Despite the amount of pain, he was in, Englander decided to use his quirk to get himself up to the roof top quickly.
"Here we go!" Englander activated his quirk and then launched himself off the ground. The amount of force behind his launch wasn't strong enough so the amount of speed he had was decreasing. His movement started to stop but the hero grabbed on to the ledge before he came crashing back down.
He climbed up onto the roof and immediately turn his attention back on the robot. The giant automaton was closing in near the building Englander was on. The robot itself was in tracking mode, trying to find the young hero and shoot some more missiles at him.
Englander prepared himself for the next part of his plan which required him to jump on to the robot. He slowed his breathing down calm himself down to keep a level head. Once he'd calmed down, the British hero was ready. He got into a running stance with pistol in hand and his rifle strapped to the back.
When the robot was with in distance Englander took this chance and ran towards the edge of the building and jumped. He landed onto the robot's shoulders; his landing wasn't good but it got the job done.
"H-Ha, hurts like hell…but still gotta get the job," Englander got back up and began searching a way inside the robot. He searched and searched for some sort of hatch or a way in. He scoured the top of the robot but there was no sign of any kind of entrance.
Minutes passed by making him fed up. So, he decided to just make his own entrance. Englander place himself firmly on the robot and made his right hand in the shape of a knife while putting the power of his quirk into his right hand.
Englander threw his hand and pierced the metal with ease. Once through the metal, he ripped it out of the way creating a hole big enough for him to fit through.
"Alright! Let's get this show on the road!" Englander stated loudly. He jumped right into the hole and was shocked to see what was around him. wires that ran electricity through them to power other functions in the robot, gears moving to help the robot's movements in all of its mechanical body parts, and finally tubes that ran coolant across the whole robot to prevent overheating.
All these mechanisms amazed the young lad but had to stop. He had to finish this thing now because he felt his whole body aching in pain and his brain telling him to stop and rest.
He made his way towards where the chest would be by using the wires to get down slowly. As he got closer to the chest, the robot suddenly hit the building by accident which caused him to lose his grip on one of the wirings.
Englander fell from the wires and got hit by a couple of gears in the process. He eventually landed on to a metal platform which seemed to be made for humans to stand on since it had a railing.
"O-Ow…I'm gonna feel that next morning. God? For once can you please stop putting me in situations like these? Please?" Englander groaned as he got back up. He looked to see that he had arrived at the chest piece of the robot.
All of a sudden, metal door opened revealing missiles being loaded on to some sort of magazine loader. After being loaded the missiles were moved towards a compartment that was located at the chest piece. Another metal door opened showing the firing holes where the missiles were loaded onto and fired from.
Englander quickly took this chance to get inside the munitions room. He ran as fast as he can despite the pain in his legs. He soon arrived at the entrance and jumped right in before the door could close in on him.
Once inside he saw a great number of missiles prepped and ready to fire. The young lad wondered where he would drop his grenade to cause the most explosion. Englander walked up to the missile in front of him and inspected it then began to try and disassemble it the best he could.
The young lad firmly pulled the top part of the missile revealing the core explosive device. Englander felt happy and was glad since he was going to destroy this damn robot after all the shit he had to go through.
"Let's finish this."
Englander was about to pull the pin when out of no where something grabbed him and threw him at the metal wall. He crashed hard causing more blood to spill out of his mouth.
"What the hell!" The British boy yelled out in anger and pain. He glanced up to see a human robot with red mechanical eyes which were staring right at the boy. Englander was shocked to see this and felt fear creep up his back.
"What are you?" Englander asked.
The human shaped automaton got into a combat stance, "I am UA's combat droid 1st series. Designed for practice spars against young heroes."
"Wow! You talk to!? You know…I would have found you pretty awesome if HAVEN'T THROWN ME AT THE BLOODY WALL!" Englander exclaimed angrily.
"Now, it is time for your demise Englander."
Englander glared at the robot and quickly pulled out his Webley revolver to fire 4 shots. The droid jumped high in the air while going over the English hero. Englander turned around to shoot at the robot, he was able to get one shot off before he was grabbed by the neck and then punched in the gut a couple of times before being kicked away.
The young lad hit the floor hard which made him feel a lot more pain than before. Englander struggled to get back up and struggled to even fight. The droid took no time to beat down the British soldier. Englander was punched in the face with strong straight jabs that caused his nose to break.
'Is principal Nezu trying to kill me!?'Englander thought to himself.
Englander was then hit in the gut which made really pissed off at this point. Before the combat droid could hit him again, Englander powered up his right hand and did an uppercut. The droid was thrown back but Englander continued his attacks.
The young lad then kicked the droid into the wall then proceeded to punch the bot left and right. He grabbed the droid's head and smashed into the wall multiple times. The combat droid started to become damaged with some of its functions starting to fail. To fight back the droid turned its body then proceeded to block Englander's attacks. After successfully blocking the attack the bot headbutted the young man which caused him to stagger away.
Englander was able to focus back only to see the combat droid about to grab him. He immediately ducked out of the way and shoved the thing with all his might resulting in the droid being pushed a couple of meters away.
However, the combat droid was able to roll back and land on its two feet. It made a mad dash towards the hero. Englander felt so much pain in his body he could barely stay focused on the fight at hand, but he knew that every second he spent fighting the combat droid would mean defeat for him.
Englander felt his anger swell up and struggled to stand while glaring at the incoming combat droid. Everything he went through ever since the start of this practice session he has been shot at, electrified, punched, kicked, and even thrown around like a doll. At this moment, he was absolutely livid.
As the droid got closer and closer, Englander readied himself with two weapons in his hands. The first move the combat droid was to go for a straight punch to knock out the soldier. However, the young soldier ducked down and then drove his bayonet blade into the robot's gut.
With a wide-open hole in the gut of the bot. Englander then forcibly shoved his left hand which was holding his flare gun into the hole.
The eyes of the combat droid widened, surprised that the hero would do such tactics.
Englander looked up at the robot and yelled, "YOUR FINISHED!"
*Click! *
*Bang! *
The flare shot ended up hitting the combat droids control box, resulting in it bursting into flames. Flames started to burst out of little holes or openings from the robot. The combat droid began to move erratically and start to malfunction.
Englander took this opportunity to finally create that explosion he wanted. He limped his way over, the young British soldier pulled the pin off and right when he was about drop it in the missile.
He released his hand which caused the striker lever to ignite the grenade.
Englander jumped out of the way and prepared himself for the explosion. The missile blew apart which caused a chain reaction to the other missiles.
*BOOM! *
*BOOM! *
*BOOM! *
The young soldier smiled that he had accomplished his plan…
…
…
…
All he had to do now was find a way out.
"Oh shit! I got to get the bloody hell out of here!"
Englander immediately searched for a way out. He grabbed his weapons and gear right away and kept searching. The explosions and fire started to make the poor boy panic in fear, especially how the flames were getting closer to him. Soon, his prayers would be answered.
On the ground was a hatch leading outside. Englander smiled and cried tears of joy. He struggled to open it but was able to put the last of his strength in turning the hatch.
The pathway to freedom was open and the young man jumped through the opening. All of a sudden, he was grabbed by something.
The hero looked up and was shocked. Grabbing him was the malfunctions combat droid, it only had one eye and was fidgeting. It looked like the thing wasn't letting go anytime soon.
"Y-You're not g-getting away hero. Y-you will not win t-this."
"Shut it you bastard…it looks like I already won," Englander responded. He grabbed his bayonet and in one swing was able to cut the bots arm off of him.
Being released caused Englander to plummet towards ground. All the strength he had was all gone and the only thing he could do was watch the big giant robot explode.
The big bot itself was unable to move anymore. Instead, it came crashing down towards one of the buildings which caused a lot of destruction in the area around it.
Luckily Englander was away from it and was laying on the floor breathing slowly. Trying to get the energy back so he can get up. The injured and tired boy couldn't help but smile.
Happy that he had won the battle and knew that he had given his all. As he was about to lose consciousness, he looked to his right to see a bright light coming towards him.
"A-An…angel?"
Englander's head hit the floor signaling that he was now unconscious. The "Angel" was actually Midnight, Aizawa, and Present Mic. All three immediately began to check his wounds and bruises for anything serious.
Midnight had a concerned face as she stroked the boy's hair to comfort him, "We need to get him to Recovery Girl!"
"Right," Aizawa said.
"Couldn't agree more," Present Mic stated.
Both teachers carried him towards a transport bots designed to carry injured students to the infirmary. Midnight felt proud of Henry for showing his capability in a combat like situation but hated the sight of him right now. He had blood coming out of his mouth and many bruises around his fists.
Midnight followed her fellow teachers and would stay by Henry's side and assist Recovery Girl if needed.
Back in the observation room, many of the teachers were impressed by Henry's tactics and combat skills but all agreed that he needed to improve those skills.
One such conversations happened between Snipe and Power Loader.
"Honestly Power loader, I think Henry is skilled with a rifle. But the way he cycles his rifle is slow," Snipe stated earning a confused look from the short teacher.
"What do you mean?" Power loader asked.
"He looks like he's a little slow when pulling the bolt. With the right amount of training, he could become a great sharpshooter. Probably have to give him an updated version of his rifle because the one he has now isn't really suited for close quarters."
Power loader nodded his head, "I see what you're saying. His equipment is outdated and I'm surprised they worked! However, I think my biggest concern is his so called 'hero' costume."
Now it was Snipes turn to look at the man confused, "Come again?"
"That hero costume is a hazard and offers no help to him! Don't get me wrong his costume is pretty much what they only had during his time but whoever designed his costume must be an idiot," Power loader stated with fumes exited out of his ears.
Snipe looked at the teacher dumbfounded at what he had just hear, "Um Power loader?"
"Yes?"
"You do realize his costume was developed by Thomas Shield?"
Despite being covered by a mask, Power loaders eyes shot open after hearing the last name, "Wait? What!?"
"He's David Shield great great grandfather. Didn't you learn this in world history class?"
Power loader groaned only to be reminded of how boring that class was for him, "Ugggh. I passed that class with like a B-. I was more into engineering, support items, and math. History wasn't my thing."
Snipe couldn't contain himself and laughed at the teacher's past experience.
Two other teachers were discussing about Henry's actions when fighting the combat droid that they had recently started using. Those two teachers were Vlad King and Cementoss.
"What do you think of the young boy Vlad?" Cementoss asked.
"He has potential, but I would say his fighting skills need improvement so I suggest combat training for the boy," Vlad said with his grumpy expression he would always have. The teacher wished that when Henry passed the entrance exam he would be in his class, class-1b.
The whole reason was to show that his class was better than Aizawa's class-1a. While both teachers were friends, competition and the spotlight are what Vlad liked about UA. To give the students the opportunity to shine once the sports festival rolled around.
Cementoss couldn't help but feel that the blood hero was planning something for the future, "I agree. However, Henry stayed focus on the task at hand. Despite being attacked by multiple robots. Like you said though, combat training will help him in the future."
Vlad only grunted in response which earned a smile from the stone hero. In the same room, Momo was smiling because she felt happy and worried at the same time for Henry. Happy because the boy that saved her won against the machines and beat the giant robot. She was worried for Henry because by the end of the mock battle he was badly hurt and tired from fighting.
She insisted to her parents that they go see Henry but Nezu reassured them that the young lad was going to be alright. Momo and her parents felt relieved.
Currently Daiji and Ayuko were discussing with Nezu about Momo's tutor job. The two parents stated that Momo's studies came first before her new job. Nezu understood the parents wishes and assured them that it would be only for a couple of hours in the afternoon. Once Momo was done with her studies.
However, Nezu told the parents that he could look for another person that could be a guide/ tutor for Henry. Ayuko and Daiji didn't want to force Momo into this job and decided to see if she wanted to do it.
"Momo, could you come here please?" Ayuko asked. Momo complied and joined the group. She looked down towards Nezu confused on what her parents and the principal were discussing about.
"Young Yaoyorozu? May I ask you something?" Nezu asked.
"Yes?" Momo asked inquisitively.
"How would you like to be a tutor for Henry?" Nezu asked the girl earning a shocked and surprised expression from her. She looked to her parents to see them smiling at her.
"Now honey, me and your father are ok with this as long as you keep up with your studies and not goof off. You can do that afterwards," Ayuko said with a beaming smile. Earning a chuckle from her husband.
"While me and your mother are ok with it. It comes down to you if you want to do it or not," Daiji stated.
Momo pondered on what to say. Then she thought back to Cambrai and how Henry saved her life. Now, the boy that saved her life is now in need of a tutor for his studies. Not to mention, the boy didn't seem to hang out with any other kids since he is famous and stuck to stay at UA.
The young Yaoyorozu knew that this was an opportunity to become friends and get to know Henry. She had made her decision and turned her attention back to principal Nezu.
"I accept the job principal Nezu. I won't let you down," Momo stated.
Nezu jumped up in excitement with his hands out in the air, "Splendid! You are a kind hearted person young Yaoyorozu. A perfect person to become a hero!"
Momo blushed at the kind words from the principal, "No please! There's no need for such kind words."
Ayuko and Daiji looked at each other feeling proud of their daughter. Not only was this a good opportunity for her to make a new friend but also help her become a hero.
To help a person in need while being respectful and following the rules of the hero code.
"Mother! Father! I promise I'll stay on top of my studies and make you both proud," Momo declared proudly. She hugged her parents and they hugged her back.
Most of the UA staff saw what happed when Momo talked loudly. The teachers smiled and were glad that Yaoyorozu family would helping them with the young man.
Principal Nezu felt a great warm feeling in his heart. He thought back to the days when Henry would eat in the cafeteria alone when most of UA staff were busy with other things. Or days where he would gaze in the outside to see kids playing with their parents or friends.
With Momo Yaoyorozu becoming his tutor, those days of loneliness would be replaced with days of happiness for the young boy.
A bright future where Henry could become a certified hero and live a somewhat normal life filled with joy and laughter.
To my readers and followers…
I so sorry that you all had to wait this long for this chapter to be released and honestly, I can blame you. It has been a long time since I last updated my stories and you all deserve the reason why.
Well, after I finished the 5th chapter work got busy and my grades declined. At the time I was in a bad place and became to hate myself which caused me not be able to write my stories. Now I didn't become suicidal but I just lost my motivation to write.
After a couple months of rest, I started to structure my life and change the way I do things. For each weekend when I had free time, I devoted one or two hours on writing my stories.
Honestly, my life has changed for the better in recent months. My grades are better now but still struggle with math (begins to shed a couple of tears), I started to go to the gym with my friends which has helped me with my stress from school and work. I've been losing fat and gaining muscle which makes me proud.
Now, here I am. Getting back into writing stories and kicking ass because you guys deserve this after such a long time. I honestly never thought my stories would be good. I mean…not a lot of kids really like history.
I do have to warn you guys that my writing is a little rusty so if this chapter sucks, I'm sorry and I'll improve it in the next chapter.
In the last few months, I have been brainstorming about a bunch of stories I would like to do, but my focus is on my two stories right now. I want to get to a position when I do start writing other stories, these two stories have a good amount of content.
Now… for my favorite part.
Read and Review is always helpful to me because it helps me as a writer and improves my story. After this I will going back to writing my first story "Rendezvous with Destiny" because I pretty much blue balled you guys with the ending of the 12th chapter… ok now that's awkward since I said blue balls. Oh well.
This is Jobro89, signing off!
Also,
I got Covid and survived.
