We had a long staring contest after that statement… "I am here to decide if we can let you leave campus".

"…You realize they can teleport…right?" I said slowly. Did he really think I was safe…well, anywhere? Ignoring the fact that I could take care of myself or that keeping me in a specific place would be against my human rights, this is already a terrible idea.

"I am aware of that, but there is a limitation to Warp Quirks" Nezu said smoothly, "They all have simple requirements."

"You plan to use me as bait." I said suddenly, "You want to see if they have a way inside the main campus with me as incentive."

Nezu nodded with a smile, "You're quite clever, do you know about Warp Quirks?"

I frowned, "Not much, all I really know is that their abilities usually hinge on very black or white requirements. The more common one being they can't travel to a place they haven't seen or been too before…but surely they have seen inside the campus right?"

"USJ has a much looser security than the main campus as it's not in use full time. it would be easy for a Warp Quirk user to enter with little to no presence. Main campus however is protected at all times due to its image as a Headquarters of sorts. The Press cannot enter, and civilians don't have access beyond the doors. At best, they can enter the courtyard, and we already have countermeasures for that."

"You understand that if they have a way inside, they're going to throw everything they have at getting it the first try…right?" I argued, "Last time, they brought along a small army. Do you really think they would bring anything smaller on their main event?"

"Aizawa-kun disabled the majority of them by himself."

"And is now in intensive care with a far worsened condition than before, and a new limit to his own quirk usage. Is this a game to you?!" I growled quietly. Did this little pipsqueak realize the danger he was putting everyone through?

"One Pro Hero was enough to halt their first advance."

"No, One Pro Hero, a class of academy students, and a case by case territory advantage, along with yours truly, held off their offensive. All Might had to come in and collect, and he was sent to the nurses right alongside Aizawa. I call that a draw and they were testing the waters."

"You believe they have more trump cards?" Nezu said with a small smile.

"Of Course they do" I snorted with a huff, crossing my arms, "This is a united band of villains with more than one mastermind. They aren't stupid, and their Nomu or whatever no doubt took some experimentation to create. I highly doubt they aren't perfecting it right now, and making more of them for assurance. Next fight, they will fight to win more than the battle, but to make you lose."

"Creating that force takes time." Nezu said, calmly patting my knee, "We can prepare as well as they do."

"You play by the rules, they don't."

"You doubt that we can keep you safe within these walls?"

"While it's true its more secure than the hotel I'm staying in, and overlooking the fact that I can take care of myself without the UA becoming my personal nanny, the fact of the matter is they will be ready. They're not a gang of thugs to just roll up and start knocking with ol painless. You can't play this like a game with the pieces you have."

"You underestimate this school" Nezu said, giggling to the side, "And a Hotel? We have dorms you know."

"They are also nine to thirteen times more costly than the hotel."

"Well, accept my offer and stay for free." He said with a smile and wink, and I face-palmed.

"You're supposed to be super smart, right?" I said, lowering my fingers to stare through them, "How much time do you think we have?"

Nezu's smile slowly died, before he sighed and hopped onto the foot of my cot, seating himself comfortably. "There are many variables that we don't know. How long did it take to make their Nomu? Where? Who is backing them? How rooted are they? How much are they going to stockpile before attacking? How patient are they?...accepting that quantifying so many variables is not effective, we simply have to play on what we know. We know they are cunning, smart, and fearless…but also looking to make a name."

He looked up at the ceiling, "I'd estimate that they will wait till after the Sports Festival."

"If they are waiting for an opportunity for live TV, why miss the most televised Heroic Event in the fall?" I exhaled, rubbing my nose in confusion. "That's counter to what you just said."

"They want to make a name for themselves as being powerful, and un-predictable. They seek to draw fear, and nothing upturns society like an unknown. They will gain reputation simply by waiting, and when they strike it will throw the town into disarray. This aligns with their time needed to prepare, and motivates them to build a stronger force to at least terrorize the town, placing the nation in fear of their presence and power."

He tapped his chin thoughtfully, "They want to trump our event, and show we are nothing compared to their power and violence. This will attack public moral, faith, trust, and symbiosis with the quirk community, and especially the Heroic community."

"Time is on their side." I said faintly, leaning back and falling onto my pillow, staring at the ceilings panels.

"Yes." He said simply, and I sighed.

"Then I need this more than you do." I muttered with a grunt, and I felt Nezu bounce on the springs, "Excellent!"

"I have conditions." I said bluntly, and he listened, "I won't have a roommate, body guard, or "guardian/monitor". I want access to the training facilities and permission to study the blueprints for this building. If you insist on keeping me here, I will need permission to use the kitchen and a runner for groceries."

Nezu smiled, "Are you testing me? Do you want a weekly massage and a licensed personal physician as well?"

Sarcasm, cute.

"Those are my terms. If they see me as target number one, then I need to get into suitable shape before shit hits the fan. If you refuse than I'll just roam about the city, and do what I can from there." I said flatly. What was he going to do? Arrest me? He's asking me, my terms.

"You are aware you signed a legal contract before attending this school?"

"I'll drop out." I said immediately, "Protecting this place is more important than protecting me, simple math. I might be better off that way as well, just means I am free to navigate the world without restriction."

"You will have a guardian." Nezu said firmly, but trying to placate me to avoid an argument, "However they will stay in the room closest to yours, with a room key to enter as needed. They will accompany you on most or your activities, and provide assistance or serve as a boundary when needed."

"And if I say no and drop out?"

"Then they will follow you, wherever you go." Nezu said, before smiling widely, "I just want to keep you safe."

"…fine." I said, rubbing the back of my neck, "Who's this guardian?"

"Well, considering the separate rooms, gender isnt an issue, and also factoring the location being UA, rank or position won't interfere. Perhaps someone with a Quirk specializing in incapacitation? I have a few in mind." Nezu said with a glint in his eye, and I just shrugged, "So long as it's not #1 Crusader Blondie, I could hardly give a damn."

"Excellent! Please, follow me to your new dorm!" he said cheerfully, hopping off the mattress and walking to the laptop, retrieving his device and heading for the door.

"Err, problem" I said suddenly, and he turned, "What's that?"

"I need my clothes."

"Ah."
