I posted the wrong chapter. My bad.


Katsuki was sick and tired of these extras when Four Eyes thought that someone like Izuku Midoriya would be the fucking traitor. The one person that has always been a hero but a notebook suddenly makes him a traitor. When Katsuki was about to tell them that in the back of the notebook were notes to improve his and Todoroki's quirks and had support items for Round Face, Tail and Sparky, Ponytail butted in talking about Hands at the mall. What surprised him more was Round Face asking if the nerd and the sub level boss planned the attack on the camp. If the nerd is really working with those extras, Katsuki knew that he would be the last person that the nerd would want in that group. Todoroki proved major points of the nerd not being a traitor and even Kirishima. But still Four Eyes didn't believe it and Ponytail said it was best to avoid talking to the nerd until Aizawa denies or backs up Four Eyes' claim.

Since then, Katsuki noticed that Izuku was going back to his old self, the look of abandonment in his eyes as everyone was ignoring him. But he and Todoroki never left his side. Then Aizawa came in adding fuel to the fire creating a fucking inferno saying that he believes that the notebook is enough to prove that the nerd is the traitor.

The nerd comes downstairs and he's met with hostility and coldness. Then most of the extras went one step further, calling him Deku as if he meant nothing to them anymore. The extras started treating him like a fucking disease and moving their seats away from him, acting Like everything he has done means nothing anymore. Katsuki gave his former friend the space he needed when he needed it.

On the outside, he was as calm as he could be. But inside, he was ready to explode like his quirk seeing how much the extras treated the nerd like a fucking villain. Since Flat Face, Sparky and Raccoon Eyes were no longer his friends when the three dummies didn't believe that Izuku wasn't the traitor, he was more hostile to them of all the extras. Shitty Hair didn't believe that the nerd was the traitor but since Raccoon Eyes is his girlfriend, he wasn't as vocal in defending Izuku after that late night class meeting but he didn't participate in the other extras' bullshit.

Katsuki was so pissed at him for defending what Raccoon Eyes almost did to the nerd in hero class, especially since Shitty Hair believes that he is innocent. Sure she is his girlfriend and he has a right to defend her but not telling her off for almost permanently handicapping the nerd pissed the Explosion user off even more.

Then there was Round Face, the nerd's first friend in twelve years because Katsuki knew he lost that right. The day of her birthday, Izuku told her Happy Birthday but she ignored him, making him slump and Katsuki knew that he was humiliated. He couldn't give her the gloves for her birthday present because the drawing of the gloves wasn't finished and Four Eyes stole his notebook.

Then the last person he expected to defend the nerd was Orange Hair or Man Hands he used to think when he saw her. He watched in surprise as she sat across the nerd with her friends at lunch. Then Four Eyes and Ponytail approached the table wanting to talk to her privately. She got up but not to go with them, but to give Four Eyes a piece of his mind. After the extras left, he saw the nerd get up from his seat. The Explosion user went up behind Orange Hair while she was talking to Lizard and overheard the former telling the green haired girl to keep an eye on Izuku because she was worried. So he interrupted and sat in Izuku's seat putting his phone in front of her telling her to put in her number. She looked creeped out but he explained the situation while not saying he has a girlfriend and she obliged. He told her what was happening with the extras in the text messages and she said she was going to be on the nerd's side.

After the next few classes came the straw that broke the camel's back. Raccoon Eyes, Round Face, Glasses, Frog, Ponytail, Sparky and Birthday Suit. They were discriminating against the quirkless. They forgot about the cat lady from the camp who got her quirk taken away by All For One. Birthday Suit casually said that a quirkless boy in her school committed suicide. It made him sick to his stomach because he bullied Izuku for the last eleven years and the worst thing he did was tell him to take a swan dive off the roof. If Izuku took it seriously, Katsuki knew he would have been dead by that fucking sludge villain and the extras said that Izuku was being selfish and irresponsible when he ran in there while those heroes were the real useless ones.

Then the nerd ran out and Katsuki didn't blame him but he still was shocked. None of the other extras even noticed that he ran out while most of them were trying to stop the seven bigots from talking bad about the Quirkless, even Shitty Hair. Orange Hair texted him that she was with Izuku at the infirmary and she was going to take him to her dorm. She mentioned that Recovery Girl gave Izuku a note for a stomach virus so that if he doesn't feel safe around the extras, he doesn't have to go to class. He told the former to Todoroki in a text message and would leave the latter for later.

During Round Face's birthday party after class, the extras looked so fucking carefree not even caring that the nerd was not here. Todoroki was in his room since he didn't want to look at any of them. The only reason that the Explosion user was down there was because he had enough and decided to grab Shitty Hair, dragging him to his room where he can get answers on why the the fuck he did what he did. Katsuki made it vocal how much he hated what the redhead did.

The latter explained that the only reason he barged in when Raccoon Eyes confronted the nerd is because if Izuku did anything to the extras outside of Hero Training even in self defense, he gets a one-way trip to jail, no questions asked. These were Aizawa's orders. When Katsuki heard that, he was ready to explode at the hobo the next time he saw him. But he knew if he did that, he could possibly go to jail and who else would help the nerd other than Todoroki? Sure he told Orange Hair about the accusation but still.

"I know that Midobro likely hates me for what happened yesterday but I didn't want him to punch Mina and he ended up in handcuffs. I didn't know if there was the possibility of you going to jail either so that's why I stopped you from walking up to Uraraka, man." Shitt- Kirishima said.

"Dammit. Do you know how pissed off the nerd was? Round Face was his best friend and he made a birthday gift for her that in that notebook but fucking thanks to Four Eyes, he gets betrayed instead." Katsuki grumbled.

"Midobro had a birthday gift for Uraraka?" Kirishima asked and Katsuki nodded.

"It was a pair of support gloves so her hands don't get broken while her cat paws are still visible. He came up with the idea when Copycat launched that metal piece at her. He had a thing for her but now who would want anything to do with someone who turned their back on them?" Katsuki asked. "Sparky and Tail have some things in there but now. But now I doubt he would even finish them after this fucking investigation is over."

"I wouldn't blame him, man. Do you know where he is now?"

"The nerd is at the 1-B dorm." Katsuki admitted. "He went to the infirmary after he ran out and then Orange Hair went to go see him after he messaged her. Then she took him to the dorm."

"Orange Hair?" Kirishima looked confused. "You mean Kendo? Since when are they close?"

"Since today. It turns out that she knows he's getting accused." Katsuki admitted and Kirishima's eyes widened.

"Iida and Yaoyorozu said that they would tell Class B. Is that how Kendo knows?"

Katsuki shook his head. "I doubt it. Four Eyes and Ponytail walked up to the nerd's table at lunch but she didn't go with them for some reason. Must be someone else so probably her teacher since the teachers aren't treating him like shit. She said that she's not going to turn her back on him and I'm glad." The blond then facepalmed. "Dammit, I forgot to tell her that you don't think Izuku is the traitor. Fuck. I'll tell her tomorrow."

"This is the first time I heard you call Midobro by his first name. Is that why you stopped calling him that nickname?"

"The only reason I stopped is because those extras started calling him Deku like I used to and it pisses me off. He's not a Deku. He never was and you better hope he wants to at least get along with you again." Katsuki glared at his friend. "And get your damn ears checked, Shitty Hair. I'm never calling that damn nerd by his first name and I still hate you, got it?"

Kirishima grinned. "Got it man. You want to go back?"

"I'm just going back to make sure the nerd is safe when he enters. Those extras have nothing better to do than try to make his life hell as if he's actually guilty."

Even though Katsuki stubbornly wouldn't consider the nerd a friend, he wouldn't allow his childhood friend to become the person he once was in Aldera. Even with Todoroki and Kendo's threats, he'll be a better hero like Izuku always thought he would be. One that wins to save people.


As Aizawa was leaving the teacher's dorm, he couldn't believe that Nezu or the other staff thought that Midoriya was not the traitor. The evidence was right in front of them. Now he is going to be staying at the 1-B dorm because Nezu thinks he feels unsafe among his classmates. Now he had to deal with the students who discriminated against the quirkless and give some sort of punishment to Ashido and Uraraka because they wanted to take matters in their own hands.

"Mr. Aizawa, wait. There's something I have to ask you." Mirio Togata ran out of Eri's room, interrupting his train of thought.

"Make it quick, Togata. I don't wish to be late."

"I wanted to ask why Eri was telling me that she couldn't be with Midoriya at your Christmas Party. She said that when he tried to walk over to her, you or Asui and Uraraka would keep her away. She even said your students looked mad at him."

'Of course she would notice that.' Aizawa sighed. "I was keeping her away from Midoriya."

Togata looked confused. "But why? Midoriya is her hero. They're basically family."

"I don't have much to say on this but Midoriya is not allowed anywhere near Eri." With that, Aizawa turned, not wishing to answer any more questions.

'What did you do, Eraserhead?' Mirio thought as Aizawa walked out of the dorm. He intended to find out what was happening.


Izuku Midoriya is a lot of things. Oblivious, broken, emotional, feral, selfless, kind but stupid and idiotic he is not.

After he finished unpacking in his new room two hours later, he thought about what happened the past week. He locked the door so nobody accidentally butted in even though he trusted his two floormates and put music on. He thought about his missing notebook. When he couldn't find it since he came back from the Nighteye Agency, He messaged All Might if he mistakenly took the notebook with him but the former pro hero said no.

Ever since his classmates started blatantly ignoring him, he had a feeling something was wrong. So they came to his mind. Ever since Shoto said that the reason that everyone else started ignoring him is not his fault, that meant everyone but the dual powered boy and Kacchan blamed him for something. Ever since he started writing in that new notebook to try some things involving Blackwhip, he was suspicious of their behavior when they stopped to watch him.

He had a feeling that his notebook was the cause of it, meaning someone stole it. It couldn't be Aizawa because he hasn't come to the dorm so it had to be one of his former friends. He created a list of suspects.

He never took out the notebook from his room and he never left his room except only to eat. From the list of suspects, he could scratch out the girls because they'd never come to his floor due to the next door perverted midget who's a definite suspect but he can't really trust Uraraka or Ashido due to their behavior towards him. Tokoyami is off the list. Aoyama is a maybe especially with the cheese thing. Kacchan and Shoto knew about the notebook so they were off the list. Kirishima would never do it because it's unmanly. Kaminari is nosy so who knows? Koda is too kind and Ojiro is Ojiro. Sero and Sato are all the way on the fifth floor and don't butt in other people's business. Shoji also doesn't butt in other people's business. Iida is a definite suspect because of his class rep status. Uraraka, or Ashido or Mineta or Aoyama or Kaminari or Iida. That was his list of suspects.

So that means the trespasser did it when he left the dorm and the only time he left was to go see Bubble Girl and Centipeder at the Nighteye Agency. So the trespasser must have gone into his room and their curiosity got the best of them seeing the notebook.

Izuku figured that the trespasser got tunnel vision reading the weaknesses of the heroes in training that he wanted to help so they thought that he's not as kind as they thought he was which means they didn't see the improvements or the support items so they stole it from his room. Whoever stole the notebook told everyone else so the majority avoided him out of suspicion which explained the first two days.

When he came downstairs to the common room on Christmas Eve and everyone was there except for him then asked Aizawa if there was anything he missed. The cold glare he received now proved two things. One was that his homeroom teacher is not as logical and rational as he says he is and two is that when he received the same glares and also looks of disgust from the heroes in training revealed that those he called friends were never truly his friends if they thought he would truly hurt any of them.

The fact that the other teachers did not give him the same cold glares as Aizawa during class after that day made more sense now. This proved that they knew about the notebook but they either didn't believe Aizawa or they read the notebook themselves.

When Iida accused him of manipulating Itsuka to be his friend and calling him a villain, that was the final piece of the puzzle but it also flipped the switch. Izuku knew that the stick in the mud did not mean some low-life thug. No no no. The class rep called him, his former friend, a supposed member of a certain group. A group that wants him dead because of their leader. A group that has been after his class time after time. After everything that happened, his classmates thought he would betray them. His teacher thought Izuku would betray his second home. His kindness was taken for granted. Everything he did was all for naught. He almost died three… no… four times to save Kota, Eri, Katsuma and Mahoro.

How did he not see it before? His former friends acted like his notebooks and muttering were creepy after all these months. Most of them called him Deku. They treat him like a walking disease by moving their seats away from him or his former friends stopped sitting with him at lunch. What's next? Would they think he got Blackwhip from All For One?!

'FUUUUCK!' Izuku cursed internally. He wanted to scream, to cry, to throw up, to punch something. But he couldn't. Instead he fell to his knees. 'I just wanted to help them get stronger! I would never betray UA! I would never become a villain!'

Izuku had to stay strong. He needed to see how this was going to play out. Itsuka is his friend now so maybe Class B will want to be his friends now that he lost the majority of those in Class A. 'Wait. Class B. What would they think if they knew I was being accused of being the traitor? What would Itsuka think?'

Izuku got up and buried his face in his pillow on his new bed. The blood was rushing to his head as he fought the urge to power up OFA, walk into the 1-A dorm and take all of those fakes down like Togata senpai did to them at Gym Gamma. He would never forgive them for this. Even if he now knows about this, he will never look at them with a smile ever again. He will never trust them ever again.

Then he realized something.

Itsuka. She could have gone with Iida and Yaoyorozu at lunch and listened to what they had to say but she didn't. But why? Does she know that he's accused of being a traitor? Is she staying silent about it the same way that Kacchan and Shoto were? Did she tell her class yet?

After an hour, he decided to go back downstairs. He would keep this to himself until who knows when. He left the room with one question in the back of his mind that he always heard back then.

'Who would ever want to be friends with a Deku?'

He really should have been working in the Analysis department of the police force. Hell, he should have gone to art school. But then again if he wasn't a hero, he couldn't have done what he did since he got into UA. He became a hero to three kids, somewhat a big brother figure. Something he barely had because of his quirklessness.


"It's been three hours and Izuku is still upstairs. Do you guys think he's okay?" Itsuka looked worried as she walked over to the couch where she and Setsuna were sitting with a cup of black coffee.

"When I went upstairs to change, I heard music inside." Tetsutetsu confirmed. "So he's probably taking a break. I know I was tired when I was setting up my room."

"Just two more days of class and then we get to go home to see our families." Awase said excitedly.

"Two more days for you guys." Itsuka countered. "I'm stuck here with Izuku thanks to his sick leave and I don't mind at all."

"Yeah I bet." Setsuna smirked.

"Shut up, Set. So did anything happen or was it a normal day?"

Setsuna snorted. "Normal? Yeah right. It's like whatever filter the rest of Class A had in not telling us that Greenie is being accused is suddenly not there anymore. Ashido came up to our table like yesterday with Iida and Yaoyorozu and said that she wanted to talk to me this time. Then when I said no, she was like 'Come on girl, We always talk about the tea and we're friends.' First of all, we're not friends anymore and you actually thought that Greenie would betray you guys. I didn't know him as long as them but at least I know a person's nature. Those guys are Attention seekers."

"They must think that he's turning us to the villains' side when he's simply searching for companionship again. Surely he values Bakugou and Todoroki's friendship but even I know that's not enough." Ibara said with her hands clasped in front of her.

"I know that you guys already know it since this morning but I am literally ready to punch everyone in Class A except Bakugou, Todoroki and Kirishima starting with Iida for what they did to Izuku." Itsuka admitted. "Bakugou told me that Izuku would blame himself for what they're doing to him and it hurts me to see him broken and not like his usual self. It hurts me to keep this a secret from him."

Setsuna looked at her best friend in confusion. "I thought Kirishima also turned his back on Greenie for the past week."

Itauka facepalmed. "Oh right. Well Bakugou texted me in the morning after you guys left. He said he forgot to tell me yesterday since he was pissed off at Kirishima. He doesn't believe that Izuku is a traitor unlike the rest of those idiots but he's been avoiding or ignoring Izuku because he and Ashido are dating. Also that Kaminari and Sero are also as annoying so he's lying to the the three of them that he's on their side."

"So Ashido, Kaminari and Sero are making Kirishima avoid Midoriya as blackmail. Quite shameful for fellow work study partners." Ibara said.

"I guess we now know who wears the pants in that relationship." Tsuburaba joked. The majority of the class laughed at that.

"It pisses me off, you know. Izuku is a good person but this is getting out of hand." Itsuka said, drinking from her cup. "At least Kirishima is not turning his back on Izuku. I saw how upset you were when Bakugo said that only him and Todoroki were the only ones that believed in him, Tetsutetsu."

The Steel user grunted. "At least he didn't break the man code. Even though it's unmanly, I was going to punch Kirishima in the face at the Fatgum agency when we do our work studies. I probably still am only because he's ignoring Izubro."

Itsuka raised an eyebrow. "Izubro?"

"Yeah. Izubro. I mean, he's an honorary Class B student now plus it doesn't seem right to me to call him by his last name."

"I mean you can ask him if that's okay. I told him he can call me by my name yesterday even though he was hesitant because he said he was not deserving of calling me by my name. While Set here got him to be her best friend in two days and let him call her by her nickname with a fist bump."

Setsuna stuck her tongue out at the class representative. "Greenie is a cool guy and I knew that since the Christmas party when he accepted his nickname. Plus I wanted a fourth member of the Green Bean Gang and I wouldn't have invited Asui either way."

Itsuka shook her head and got up to put her cup in the sink. Kamikiri was still protesting about being a part of the green haired group but Setsuna was not taking 'no' for an answer. Ibara was blushing at being part of a group involving her hair color.

"What's your problem with Asui now?" Tetsutetsu asked. "I know she called Izubro Deku because she said they're not friends anymore but you're acting like you had problems with her since grade school."

"She's a frog. Most frogs eat small reptiles, including lizards." Setsuna explained.

"You're acting like you're an actual lizard heteromorph. You don't have the traits or features of a lizard other than the sharp teeth." Itsuka retorted.

Setsuna pouted. "Let me have this. I already stole Greenie from Uraraka. Plus you can never tell what Asui is thinking with her blank face."

Itsuka rolled her eyes. 'You're not the only one who stole him from her. But I wouldn't call it stealing. I call it being straightforward and actually chasing what I want.'

"Before I forget," The class rep pointed at Monoma. "You're an idiot, you know that. You've seen what Izuku's quirk does to his body and you thought it was best to copy his quirk of all opponents. From what he told me about the result of his quirk with an unfit body, you would have become a quadriplegic or worse, dead."

Monoma sighed. "It was a mistake on my part. Had I been less worried about copying his power, we could have won. Then his new ability manifested and we all saw the outcome of that."

"I mean with that power and the body he must have to handle it, he's basically a god." Setsuna said making Itsuka splutter.

"Setsuna, I don't think Midoriya would like to be compared to the Lord or someone addicted to power." Ibara retorted.

"Not your God, Ibara. A Greek god." Setsuna explained making Itsuka go red. "I mean I know you felt his muscles, prez. Now he has the black tendrils. Can you imagine what he can do with those in the bedroom? I mean those would be … gerk."

Itsuka hit Setsuna with a much harder neck chop causing her head to fall off a second time today while scowling with a red face. "Leave Izuku's firm body out of this and do not say dirty things about the use of his quirk."

"As much as I don't condone you beheading Setsuna, Itsuka, I must thank you because I'd have whipped her myself for such sinful words." Ibara said, her hair.. vines.. vine hair ready to lash out.

Izuku came downstairs to the common room. "Hey guys, I'm done putting everything in my room."

Everyone except Setsuna turned to look at Izuku, who slightly panicked. Itsuka noticed and had to ask about it.

"Are you okay, Izuku?" Itsuka asked with a look of concern. "You looked scared for a moment there."

"Um you'll probably think it's embarrassing or shameful." Izuku said grimly.

"You can trust us, Midoriya." Reiko said.

"Yes. We won't judge you, Sir Midoriya." Shishida said.

"Well it's just when you guys looked at me, it kind of reminded me of them for a moment." Izuku said.

"They looked at you as if you did something wrong?" Reiko asked.

Izuku nodded, looking down at the floor. "Yeah. I'm sorry. I'll try not to panic next time."

The nineteen students looked at him with sympathy. He was always apologizing as if he did something wrong and Itsuka knew she had to break him out of this habit.

"Izuku, come here." Itsuka ordered softly. The green haired boy walked over to the couch where she and Setsuna were sitting and sat next to his crush, not noticing the latter. "Remember what I said yesterday?"

"That I have nothing to apologize for?" Izuku asked. She nodded as an answer.

"Yeah. Your classmates are idiots and you shouldn't suffer because of their actions." Monoma said and everyone else nodded.

"Thanks, you guys." Izuku smiled.

'So bright.' Everyone thought.

"So what were you guys doing while I was upstairs?"

"We were just talking about your new quirk but Set here wanted to be stupid so I knocked her out." Itsuka pointed to her other couchmate.

Izuku finally noticed Setsuna's condition, letting out a yelp and grabbed onto Itsuka even though he didn't know she is the sole reason that his best friend is technically headless. He looked concerned while holding onto his crush. "U-uh is she okay? S-set? W-what happened?"

Setsuna groaned in pain as she floated her head back to her body. "I'm okay, Greenie. Just a thing for Prez to do when I act stupid like Monoma. When you did it the first time, prez, it hurt less. But I probably deserved this one."

Izuku noticed he was still holding onto Itsuka. He didn't notice she pouted when he let go. He was already having an internal conversation with himself about what they were talking about. It was more of an internal debate.

"Damn straight you did. You dirty-minded girl." Itsuka said as she realized that Izuku wasn't paying attention to what was going on. She turned to him and saw that he had a troubled look on his face.

"Izuku? Are you okay?" Itsuka asked. "Izuku, say something."

"Doesn't it creep you guys out?" Izuku suddenly asked, not hearing Itsuka call him.

"What do you mean?" Itsuka asked with a frown. Everyone else looked confused.

Izuku began to talk subconsciously. "I have a new quirk that appeared out of nowhere during the joint training. Black tendrils come from my hands and it's not anything organic like Sero's tape or Shiozaki's vines. It's pure energy. One wrong move and I can kill someone with it. I almost ended up attacking Monoma with it when it acted on its own. I couldn't control it and then I injured Uraraka. Nobody else here has done that. So what does that make me? Now I know because Iida said it and I should have realized it sooner because he's right. I'm so..so stupid. I really am nothing but a vi.."

His mouth was suddenly covered by Itsuka's hand and seeing that familiar look in her eyes made his own eyes widen in horror as he now realized what he just said and was about to say. Those rage-filled eyes said that he made the biggest mistake ever and he was now going to pay for it. He would know because he had that same look in his eyes when he fought Chisaki or after he used his quirk to get Uraraka off him. He closed his eyes and prepared for the worst.

Why were those idiots trying to put him down? Itsuka hated it when Izuku put himself down because of another person's remarks. She absolutely hated it. This is another habit she was going to break him out of. But now seeing him close his eyes at the rage coming from her made her heart drop and rage die out because he thought she was going to hit him. Her rage wasn't directed at him, it would never.

She pulled her hand away from Izuku's mouth and she put it on his cheek. It surprised the green haired boy as he opened his eyes carefully and saw that no fist was coming in his direction and also that the rage in her eyes was not there anymore but replaced with a gentle look. "I didn't mean to look at you like that, Izuku. I was just really angry that Iida would say that about you. I'm angry at all of them. You are nothing of what he said you are. You are a good person and anyone who says otherwise is crazy. Whatever happened during the joint training was not your fault. Understood?"

"Yeah but.. OW!" Izuku started to say until Itsuka grabbed a handful of his hair with that same hand. The grip wasn't too rough but it wasn't too gentle. The other students in the room looked in shock as their class rep did that to her crush.

"UNDERSTOOD?" Itsuka asked again. She didn't want to do this but she had to be a little stern with him. "I'm not going to let you put yourself down while you are living here, whether it is temporarily or not. You are a good person. I don't care if I have to say those five words a million times to get it through your thick head but I will drill them in there. Do I make myself clear with what I'm saying?"

"Y-yes." Izuku said. He realized that his crush is protective and he didn't mind. He would have done the same for her.. just without the hair grabbing.

"Good." Itsuka released the handful and switched to a gentle petting motion. "I'm sorry for that, Izuku. I don't want you to think we'll ever hurt you the way your classmates did."

"I understand, Itsuka and thank you."

"You seem really comfortable petting Greenie's hair, prez." Setsuna pointed out.

"I know it's strange but his hair is really soft and fluffy. He puts my hair to shame. I hope this is alright, Izuku." Itsuka smiled at Izuku as she continued, humming a random tune.

Izuku had a small blush on his cheek and smiled back. He did not mind at all. It was soothing to him. "Thanks Itsuka and I don't really mind."

"Oh hey Izubro, I was wondering something." Tetsutetsu suddenly blurted out.

"Let me guess, you want to call me 'Izubro' from now on?" Izuku asked.

"Huh? How'd you know that?"

"You never call me Izubro." Izuku said, making most of the heroes in training chuckle. "Plus I don't mind. Any friend of Itsuka's is a friend of mine."

Tetsutetsu gave the green haired boy a toothy grin. "Thanks man."

"So I know this seems sudden but I have something to say," Izuku took a deep breath. "Since I lost the majority of those in Class A, I hope we all can be friends during my time here and still remain friends if I soon have to go back to the 1-A dorm. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want to consider this a 'clean slate'."

Ibara gave Izuku a smile. "Of course, Midoriya."

"Yeah man. Class B sticks together, no matter what and you're a part of us now, even if you're in Class A." Awase said and everyone else nodded.

"We're here for you, Izuku." Itsuka said, giving her crush's hand a light squeeze.

"I know that we had our troubles in the past, Midoriya but I don't blame you for what happened in the joint training." Monoma said, bowing his head. "I apologize for instigating you and I hope we can get along."

"I would like nothing else, Monoma." Izuku said with a bright smile. "And thank you, everyone."

With that, Reiko discovered that Izuku was touch starved. Vlad King came in, welcoming the hero in training to the 1-B dorm and handed him the sleeping pills prescribed by Recovery Girl.


The next day, as much as Izuku wanted to stay in and cuddle with Itsuka, they couldn't stay in the dorm forever and the latter did promise to train him. They went for a run with some light sparring in the forest. When they were going back to the dorm, they ran into the Big Three.

"Hey Midoriya. Hey Kendo." Togata senpai said with his usual smile. Hado senpai waved cheerily while Amajiki senpai gave a meek wave.

"Togata senpai, Hado senpai, Amajiki senpai. How are you guys?" Izuku asked, smiling back. Itsuka waved to the three of them.

"We were just about to go back to our dorm." Itsuka said.

"Is it okay if we come with? We never got to meet your classmates, Kendo." Hado senpai offered.

Itsuka was confused on why they wanted to come to her dorm but she didn't want to be rude since one of them is her neighbor. "Sure Hado senpai."

When the the five of them got to the dorm, the three upperclassmen were shocked how empty it was.

"Hey hey. Where is everyone else? Did they go somewhere and leave you two behind? Wait Midoriya, aren't you in Class A? Why are you here?" Hado senpai asked in her usual rapid-fire speed.

"Um Hado senpai. You see, the thing is, our classmates are in class right now. I'm currently living here in the 1-B dorm due to problems and I have a stomach virus so I'm on sick leave." Izuku explained.

The three third years looked confused.

'But we're off for Christmas break. Why are they still doing classes?' Mirio thought.

"I'm glad that nobody else is here. I don't think I'm ready to see your class, Itsuka." The dark blue haired upperclassman said, standing face-first into the wall.

"Still shying away from people, Tamaki senpai?" Itsuka asked with a giggle.

Izuku looked surprised. "You know Amajiki senpai, Itsuka?"

The said girl nodded. "Yeah. He's my neighbor in Chiba. He's the one that told me that the test would be robots."

"Hey Midoriya, did Sir give you anything from his will?" Togata senpai asked.

"Yeah, he gave me his tenth anniversary All Might poster."

"Can I see it?" Mirio asked.

Izuku nodded. "Sure."

'Sorry Midoriya.' Mirio thought.

Izuku and Togata senpai went upstairs to his room so that the latter could see Sir Nighteye's poster.

Tamaki senpai sighed once the elevator doors closed. "I can't believe I'm about to do this. Sorry Midoriya."

Itsuka's eyes widened. "Wait what? Senpai, what are you doing?"

"Itsuka, do you know if something happened between Midoriya and his class?" Tamaki senpai asked.

Itsuka looked surprised. "How do you know that?"

"Snipe told us that work studies are postponed." Tamaki senpai explained as Hado senpai nodded. "Then yesterday, Eri said to Mirio that she was being kept away from Midoriya during their Christmas party. That his classmates looked angry at him. So today Mirio told us he asked Eraserhead about this yesterday, he said that Midoriya is not allowed anywhere near Eri. It's shocking to us because she spends so much time with him and she sees him as a big brother. Hearing that has basically put Mirio on a mission for the truth and he knew he couldn't ask Class A."

Itsuka gave out an angry sigh. She was already angry at Aizawa but now she was pissed.

"How much do you think of Izuku as a hero?" This question would prove her senpais' loyalty to Izuku, especially Tamaki senpai.

"He saved Eri and he wanted to see her smile at the Festival." Nejire said as she began to sense the seriousness in her kohai's tone.

"During the Yakuza raid, Midoriya took the risk of Eri's power even when he knew it would kill him." Tamaki said, remembering the events of that day. "Eri has the power to rewind things to its original state and you saw how Midoriya broke his fingers during his match at the Sports Festival. So imagine him breaking his arms and legs high in the air constantly then being rewinded the same way. Then he, Mirio and All Might watched as Nighteye took his last breath at the hospital. That day was hard on all of us there but it was harsh for them, Mirio the most."

Itsuka wiped away a tear that she didn't realize was there as she sat in shock at what Tamaki senpai just told her. This is what Izuku meant by he broke himself physically and mentally. "Izuku told us the day before that Sir Nighteye died. But I didn't know he went through all of that."

Itsuka told the two upperclassmen about what happened the last few days. They were shocked and angry at what was happening to Izuku. But what angered them the most like it did to Izuku, Itsuka and the rest of Class B was the bigotry towards the quirkless. Uraraka and Asui knew that Ragdoll and Mirio lost their quirks and still disrespected the Quirkless.

Izuku and Mirio came downstairs a few minutes later, "Hey guys, you should totally see Izuku's room. He has All Might merchandise in there. He's as much of an All Might fanboy like Sir."

Izuku scratched the back of his head. "That's just most of my collection. The rest of it is in the closet because it's a lot to put up and take down."

"It's time for us to go. We'll see you around, Izuku." Mirio senpai said.

"You too, Mirio senpai. Tell Eri I said hi."

"Hey hey. If Togata can call you Izuku, can I call you by your name too? Please?" Hado senpai asked eagerly.

"S-sure Hado senpai. You can call me by my name."

"You can call me Nejire senpai." The periwinkle-haired girl said with a bright smile.

"You can call me Tamaki senpai. I know I don't have as much positivity as Itsuka, Mirio and Hado but I don't mind." The Manifest user said as he started to shake in anxiety.

Itsuka giggled. "Even after being around so many extroverts, he's so shy."

After she closed the door, Itsuka made a grabbing motion towards Izuku, making him start running away from her.

"You will not escape my hugs, Izuku!" Itsuka yelled out while running after her crush.


After the three third years left the dorm, Nejire repeated to Mirio what she found out from her fellow Pageant participant.

Mirio was enraged. A notebook?! That's what has everyone but three kohai in that class treating Izuku like he doesn't matter especially after what he had done for them and Eri. If Mirio still had his quirk, he would march in there and do a repeat of what he did to them three months ago.

"It explains why the work studies are postponed." Tamaki said. "But Izuku of all people to be accused by his own classmate because of a notebook and quirk? Wouldn't Nighteye have said something before or during the raid since he used Foresight on Izuku?Why would Eraserhead now think he's guilty?"

"They kept Eri away from him during their Christmas party. That's so mean." Nejire pouted.

Mirio clenched his fist. "I want to hug him. He doesn't deserve what they're doing to him. No… I can't say that word. He has a heart of gold and I would know because I was there, knowing he would have sacrificed his own life to save Eri when she ran into us during our patrol while I was being a coward."

"So what do we do now?" Tamaki asked.

Mirio sighed. "All we can do is give him our support and be there for him when he needs a friend."
