The students at UA could feel something was about to be extremely wrong.

Nezu had been either cackling maniacally, or focusing his energy onto the students, for an entire week. Many had seen him and a few teachers preparing the room beside his office for something, but only the bravest among them dared to ask.

A rumour spread throughout UA, and according to a second year, Nezu had found someone that he wanted as a personal student. The last time Nezu had a personal student, they had gone on to win a Nobel prize in biology, so everyone knew that the possible student was the real deal.

Most everyone stayed out of Nezu's way during the week and the one student who had detention with Nezu came out of the session looking like he had seen a ghost, unresponsive for at least 30 minutes.

People speculated about who it could be. Maybe it was an applicant with an amazing record? Maybe it was someone from those high-level American high schools, transferring over? People theorised and investigated, but the teachers either didn't know or wouldn't talk, fearing the wrath of Nezu, who loved seeing his students panic.

Nikateru Meretsu, from the business course, wanted to get the scoop on the newest obsession of the UA principal, and so using his Quirk 'placeable camera' which allowed him to [who would have guessed] attach small camera's onto surfaces, giving him telepathic visual link to them, to try and find out about the possible new student.

He followed Nezu around the school placing cameras in important spots, and the mental strain was starting to get to him. He had never actually practised with his Quirk this much, but as he wanted to be a reporter one day, he figured training to have more cameras is important.

Eventually, though, the stalking came to an end when he got a picture of the possible new student, as they walked into the UA campus. The picture spread like wildfire, and most of the students couldn't believe their eyes.

He was short, with fluffy green hair and bright green eyes, and was still holding his mum's hand as they walked through the front gate of UA, being greeted by an extremely happy Midnight. The kid was obviously around 12-years-old but had a giant green tarp covering something as it floated behind him.

THIS kid was Nezu's new personal student?!


Izuku was really nervous

Kan and his Mum had explained that Nezu, who Izuku was already aware of, wanted to meet with him. Izuku had spent the next 10 minutes after that revelation thinking and muttering about why Nezu would want to speak with him.

He had guessed that it was probably about his inventions and that Kamui Woods probably told Nezu about Izuku. It made the most sense. Kamui Woods seemed shocked to see that Izuku was as young as he is, and probably mentioned him to Nezu.

And he had apparently been right. The Email from Nezu had notified them that Nezu had been told about him By Kamui Woods, and would like to meet Izuku and offer him an opportunity. The entire thing was vague at best, and the page-long email really just boiled down to; Be at UA in 2 days, 10:30 am, bring some gadgets to showcase.

Izuku had practically bounced around the workshop after reading the letter, gathering up the devices he wanted to show Nezu. Of course, this included his [Power Belt] and [Control Goggles], but he was also wearing his [self-tying shoes], and bringing the prototype for Kamui's new hero suit with him.

There was around an hour before they needed to be at UA, and Izuku was doing a double-check [which was more like a quintuple check] on his gear, making sure they were still working as intended as if they had broken in the 5 minutes since the last check.

After finishing his check-up, he floated himself over to Mei, who was working on another of her babies, a megaphone mask, for riot control. He had seen her working on it pretty much as soon as she could [AKA: as soon as she woke up] and was making pretty good progress with it.

"Morning Mei!" he had stealthily floated up to her and spoke right near her ear. She yelped, whipping around in her seat and smacking Izuku on the face, right on the goggles power button. As the AI controlling Izuku floating turned off, he slammed into the ground, and got back up, rubbing his bruised tailbone. "Right, not a good idea, I won't do that again-"

He was cut off by Mei giving him a hug. "Sorry, Izuku! You scared me and I acted on instinct!" He nodded, quickly hugging her back. And on the top floor of the building, Kan smiled for no apparent reason. "It's all good Mei, I shouldn't have snuck up on you!" they released each other and Mei put her baby down.

"So Izuku. Meeting Nezu is a pretty big deal right? You gonna show him your best stuff?" Izuku giggled at this. She sounded a little jealous. He patted her on the shoulder. "Of course I will! But don't worry! I'm totally going to tell him about my baby-making partner! Without you, I don't think most of these babies would be operational!" Mei smiled widely, wrapping him up in another hug before there was a cough.

Kan stood nearby, leaning on Izuku's desk. "While I know you both consider your inventions your-" he does some finger quotes. "-babies, but please don't go around saying you make babies together, or if you do, explain what you actually mean". Mei cocked her head to the side in confusion, and Izuku looked at Kan, confused as well.

"What's wrong with calling Mei my baby-making partner? That's what she is!" Mei nodded, and Kan sighed, then shot up straight as Inko tapped him on the shoulder. "Kan? Have you forgotten our agreement already? High school. I don't want to have that specific conversation with Izuku yet". Izuku hadn't seen Kan that scared since Mei had tried to make a fusion bomb during one of her sleep-deprived episodes. Izuku was fairly certain she had succeeded.

Kan nodded and Inko laughed as she waved Izuku over. "C'mon sweety! Time to head to UA, we don't want to make Mr Nezu wait!". Izuku turned the AI back on, going through the security screen and boot-up sequence, before floating himself and his inventions over to the door, waving at Mei and Kan. "See you in a few hours! Don't touch my stuff!" Mei gave him a smirk as the elevator doors started to close, moving towards his desk, before walking to her own.

Izuku giggled at this, and did another double-check on his gear, before floating all his stuff out to the car Kan was letting them use, and driving to UA. Kan had tried to get them a driver, but Inko had declined.

"Sweety, no matter what this meeting is about, I want you to know how freaking awesome you are! Nothing Nezu might say otherwise can change that!" Izuku nodded but wasn't worried about Nezu thinking he was stupid. Nezu only asked to meet civilians[other than his students] for specific reasons.

As Inko pulled into the UA carpark, Izuku suddenly realised how big the building was. He stood there just looking at it for a second before a woman approached them. It was midnight, the R-rated heroine. Izuku went into Hero nerd mode, unconsciously grabbing his invention platform with his telekinesis, following his mum into the building.

They walked through the huge hallways, getting weird looks from the students that they passed. Midnight eventually stopped outside of a large door, finished her conversation with Inko with a wink, and thanked Izuku for his insights into her Quirk.

As she walked away, her flirtatious persona dropped away into anxiety. She knew now why Izuku had been selected by Nezu. the kid was crazy analytical, hyper-intelligent, and had basically formulated 4 plans to take her down Quirkless in the 10 minutes she had known him. She shuddered, putting her persona back on, and went to the staff room to tell the others about the chaos that was about to rain down on UA high.


Nezu was practically bouncing in his seat as he watched Izuku and Inko walk through the school through the cameras. In the very back of his mind, he knew that watching someone through camera's was frowned upon, stalking even, but he didn't care right now.

Izuku Midoriya was one of the brightest minds Nezu had come across, and he had David shield on speed-dial. Just from Kamui Woods had told him, Hatsume Industries already viewed him as a high-priority employee, at the age of 12. Apparently, the kid hadn't even noticed the colour of the passes his visitors got, pink, which basically meant that if they were with Izuku, they were free to go into over 90% of the building.

As Midnight walked away from the Midoriya's, he closed the camera feed, sitting straight in his chair, specially designed for him. He pulled out the test questions that he had prepared for Izuku, to gauge for himself how smart the boy was. These ranged from logic puzzles disguised as normal conversation, that only a genius would pick up on, let alone figure out how to respond, to explaining how an artificial black hole could be created by Thirteen.

[Knock Knock]

Nezu made himself wait for a moment, not wanting to look too eager. He hadn't had a personal student since Daniel Swaderos, and he was around 22 years ago. He waited around 3 seconds, before buzzing the Midoriya's in. he gave them his biggest smile and started his speech.

"Greetings Ms Midoriya, Mr Midoriya. My name is Nezu, of course, and I would expect you're wondering why your here-". He grabbed the tests that were on paper to the boy and handed them over to him, letting him look them over. "Before you start those questions, I want to tell you that you have caught my interest".

"I have actually been a follower of Ins0mniac for many years now, I am subscribed to his posts on most of the forums he frequents-". Nezu laughed slightly at the look of awe that the boy had on his face. "- and you can imagine my surprise when Kamui Woods E-mailed me about you!" Nezu stood up and walked to the front of his desk, standing in front of Inko.

"Ms Midoriya, I would like to formally offer to take your son on as my personal student from now until he graduates UA". Izuku fell off his chair at this but caught himself mid-air with his telekinesis. Inko was looking at Nezu like he had just shape-shifted into a human. "Is this an opportunity that you and your son would like to accept?"

Izuku was in Inko's face in an instant, hands clasped together, begging. "Please mum! I haven't asked you for anything since Hatsume's offer! Please, can I do this! Imagine it! 6 years of lessons from Nezu himself! His intelligence is second to none, and his analytical mind stands unparalleled!"

Nezu smiled a little wider at the points Izuku based his arguments on. 'It actually feels quite nice to have a fan…' Inko pushed Izuku back onto his seat, before sighing. She had already made up her mind. "Mr Nezu, sir, We accept this offer-" she started, but izuku butted into the sentence.

"-on one condition!" Izuku looked proud of himself, Inko was staring at him in a mix of shock, worry, and awe. "I would like you to offer the same offer to my baby-making partner and best friend, Mei Hatsume!" Inko sputtered at this, and Nezu raised his eyebrows. The boy was smart yes, but sexually active? This called for an Investigation.

"Your baby-making partner?" Inko put her hands in her head and slammed them into her lap, blushing in embarrassment, but Izuku looked at him dead in the eyes, smiling widely, absolutely no trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Yep! My baby-making partner! Without her help to me, most of these probably wouldn't work!" He made the tarp remove itself from on top of the pile of inventions he brought, and Nezu pieced together the facts given to him. He came upon a fairly simple answer, probably why he overlooked it at first. He mentally scolded himself; "Remember Occam's Razor'.

"I assume you call your inventions your babies then? You are fairly young for it to mean anything else". This got another groan from Inko, and Izuku nodded. "Alright, then Mr Midoriya, then I agree to your terms. The Hatsume's will be notified about the offer after this meeting is over. NOW! It is time for you to show me in person what you're capable of… your file here says that your Quirk is an odd one named 'Restless'. Could you explain it to me?"

Izuku nodded, before going off into his description. Nezu took notes throughout his speech, things like; Doesn't need sleep, Almost unlimited stamina, hyper-activity build-up: should test 'Erasures' effect on him, Intelligence boosted further than natural due to his brain being at 100% efficiency?

Nezu was getting more and more impressed with the boy but was confused by one thing. "Mr Midoriya, thank you for the explanation of your Quirk, but nowhere here does it say anything about Telekinesis. Is your mother holding you in the air?" He had noticed halfway through the speech that Izuku had started to float a few centimetres above his chair, getting equal with Nezu in height.

At the mention of Telekinesis, Izuku gave a smile that Nezu was sure could be seen from the ISS. "NOPE! It's all because of my greatest invention ever! Or… two of them, at least for now!" One hand tapped the telekinesis module, the other tapping the side of his goggles. "The black box on my belt is what I call my [Telekinesis Module] on my [Power belt]. It perfectly mimics the effects of one of my middle school classmates Quirks, which is General Telekinesis.

Nezu almost gave Inko a hug at that moment. Izuku was by far the smartest person he had ever met, maybe even rivalling himself, and that was saying something. Izuku continued. "And it is controlled by this-" he tapped on the goggles again, and a voice could be heard from a speaker in Nezu's room. "Good morning Mr Nezu, I am [MUM], a hyper-advanced learning AI created by Izuku to co-exist with his mind, allowing conscious control over the [Telekinesis Module], and any further modules attached to the [Power Belt]".

At this, Nezu couldn't help himself. He ran over and gave Inko a hug, thanked both of them for their time, and after walking them to the front gate, ran to the staff room, cackling madly. Students moved out of his path in fear, and that just made him even happier. He burst into the staff room, startling Midnight, Present Mic, and Power Loader, who looked at him with the same fear that the students had shown.

He stopped his cackling and gave them all a sadistic smile. "I'm in a good mood today. All of the faculty are getting a 2% raise!" The teachers in the room looked happy, but it was still interlaced with fear. "Nezu sir, what brings us this gracious gift?" Present Mic said in an overly formal manner. Nezu liked that, his fear made him polite.

"From next week onwards, I have gotten not one, but two personal students, and I can already tell that they are going to change the world as we know it".

The teachers gulped in fear.


Izuku bolted into Hatsume industries with the best news ever for Mei.

He showed his ID to the front guard, a formality at this point, he was there so often that he knew each security guards birthdays. He floated to the elevator, pushing the button early with telekinesis, and it dinged a few seconds after he arrived. He pushed the button for his floor and went down.

Mei looked up when she heard the elevator coming down and walked over to it. She was expecting to see Izuku float out of it slowly, so was surprised when the doors open, and Izuku came barreling towards her at a million miles a minute.

She tried to dodge but was picked up by Izuku's telekinesis, moving her at the same speed as he slowed them both down. He was giving her the biggest smile ever, and it was infectious. As he placed her down she started giggling. "So how was the meeting! Does he want to buy stuff from us!?"

Izuku shook his head, still smiling. "Nope!-" Mei looked down, crestfallen, something he would not tolerate. "- Something even better! Were going to be Nezu's first personal students in 22 years!" Mei looked up so quickly he was sure that she was immune to whiplash at this point. She looked at him, zooming in and out as she tried to see the tell-tale body language of held back laughter. She didn't find any.

"Really? Why would he want me? He didn't invite me to the meeting or anything". Izuku smiled [somehow] even wider. "Well, Mei, you know how I said that I would tell him about you?" She nodded, and he continued. "Well, I did. But I also told him that I would only accept his offer if you got to do it as well. You helped me and my inventions more than anyone else, and with the schedule he showed me for the first few weeks of lessons, I didn't think I'd be able to spend so much time apart from you! You're my best friend!"

Mei stared at him, tears forming in her eyes, and he worried if he upset her for a moment. Then she crashed into him, wrapping him up in a giant hug, lifting him off the ground. "Oh My God Izuku thank you!" She squeezed a bit tighter. "You're the best friend ever! Imagine all the amazing babies we can make using UA's materials! And all the Quirks you'll be able to study!"

Izuku hugged her back, equaling her excitement. "I KNOW RIGHT! And I already med Midnight Mei! Midnight! Her quirk is so cool I have so many theories and questions!-" Mei tapped I'm lightly on the head. He giggled. "- sorry about that. I'm just really excited. Nezu said we can start in a weeks time!"

They stayed hugging for a little while longer, before separating and moving back to their own desks, to work on their projects. This didn't last very long, as Izuku was stalled with his newest project, unable to find a suitable quirk to use for it. He walked over to Mei and sat down next to her, and the 2 of them got to work on something Mei called an Anti-fire ball.

It was a small orb filled with material that, when subjected to oxygen, would rapidly expand, sucking in oxygen around the point of impact. This would be used to throw into burning houses or building, for a quick and simple way to put out fires. They worked on it until it was time for Mei to go to bed, and they had 1 prototype ready for testing.

Izuku promised Mei that they would test it first thing tomorrow, and she seemed to be okay with that, heading up the elevator to her room. It had taken Izuku a while to get used to the idea that Mei and her family lived in the building, but at this point, he practically did as well. The days when he stayed at his own house were getting rarer and rarer, and whenever Izuku wasn't at school [which he went to without fail, due to [MUM] giving constant reminders, he was in his workshop].

The week went fairly quickly, and soon Izuku was standing outside UA with Mei beside him, holding onto his notebooks and stationery with his telekinesis. They walked through the front gate and Izuku led Mei up to Nezu's office, ready to start an amazing journey.


It was Izuku's 15th birthday.

He and Mei had been Nezu's personal students [Officially called 'Class N-1'] for 3 years, and holy crap was it amazing for the two of them. They had moved to UA, living in the staff dorms, and Inko had moved with them, as an official caretaker. Izuku had graduated Aldera Middle school top of everything, with Katsuki coming in second, something he had expected, but still wasn't happy about.

Katsuki had nearly throttled Izuku when he told him about Nezu's offer, especially when Izuku told him about making sure Mei got to go as well. He had scolded Izuku for possibly fucking up his chances just for Mei, Which Izuku got quite angry at him for.

He still kept in semi-regular contact with Katsuki, but most of his time was spent on the UA campus with Mei and Nezu, as a student and advisor of the principal. During his 3 years as Nezu's student, he had gained quite a reputation with the students and other faculty. Most of the teachers were wary of him, as Nezu seemed to take what he said very seriously, even changing the school to a boarding school around 4 years earlier than Nezu had planned to, after giving the rodent a speech on student safety.

The students though? The students feared the boy, even more than Power Loader feared Mei. Izuku was given practically free reign over the UA students, allowing Izuku to basically abduct whoever he wanted from classes to study their quirks if he thought it would further his inventions, a power that Izuku abused as much as he could.

There were a few kids that had Quirks he could use, as well as some of the teachers. On his first year as an N-1 student, he had met a 2nd-year general studies student who had a powerful technopathic Quirk, named Gwen Grayson, an exchange student from Sky High, a prestigious American high school that was practically equal with UA.

Her Technopathy was perfect for what Izuku wanted. He had told her homeroom teacher that she would be spending her English lessons with him at the support workshop, and there was little the teacher could do to stop him. Gwen seemed to only be there to humour him at the start, highly underestimating the boy. This changed when Izuku started to study her Quirk, thinking up strengths and weaknesses, ways to use it, as well as possible support gear for her.

Because of the sessions with Izuku, Gwen left UA a 3rd-year hero course student, and moved back to America, and was currently an up and coming sidekick at the hero agency for a pro named 'Sonic Boom', who Izuku called the 'American Present Mic'.

Because of the sessions with Gwen, Izuku was able to fully replicate her Quirk, adding the second module to his belt, which he dubbed the [Technopthy Module]. He LOVED it. It allowed him practically total control over devices that used a remote connection, as long as they were within his range, which through testing he found to be about 40m.

He had used it to upgrade the [MUM] program, leading to the creation of [MUM 2.0] an AI that was basically a human brain in a computer. Nezu had nearly cried in joy the day Izuku showed him the 2 inventions during a monthly report. Mei had hugged Izuku and congratulated him, calling up her dad to book a fancy dinner in celebration.

Other than the [Technopathy Module] and [MUM 2.0, which was capable of scanning Quirk energy signatures remotely, and the AI made a list of notes on possible effects], There was only 2 other projects that he would call 'big'. He was looking over the student files when he suddenly realised the one person that he hadn't even thought of studying. Nezu. He had asked to study him, and Nezu had agreed. Izuku had then used the information he discovered to build something that cemented everyone's fear of the boy.

Izuku had discovered that while High Spec WAS a mutation quirk, it was unique in the fact that the mutation aspect was a small gland in Nezu's brain that emitted strange energy, which improved his brainpower. After discovering this, he and Nezu had spent nearly 2 weeks attempting to build a machine that would replicate High Spec.

And they succeeded.

2 weeks of 24/7 work from Izuku and Nezu spending every waking moment with the boy, and something that Izuku dubbed the [Cognition Amplifier] apparently named after gadget from an old show about a scientist and his grandson. Placing the device on Nezu's head, the effect was instant. Normally, High Spec had a maximum limit to its intelligence boost, so that it didn't drain Nezu's energy stores. The [Cognition Amplifier] however, had no such limits.

The second Nezu placed the device on his head, Izuku could almost see the sparks behind his eyes as thoughts and ideas rushed through his head. After testing the device to make sure there were no adverse effects to Nezu's mind through prolonged exposure, Izuku gave Nezu the final product as a gift, who was now cackling madly and muttering about something called the "Endgame Project". He saved the designs to build himself one after he made sure it wouldn't kill him.

And the [Cognition Amplifier] was only his first 'big' project in the 3 years he had been an N-1 student. The second was actually one of his favourite devices out of any he had made before, even topping the power belt. And all it took was a chance encounter with Eraserhead during his 3rd year in N-1, as he attempted to abduct one of the tired man's students.


Flashback

Izuku was headed towards the 1-A classroom. There was a boy in the class who had an extremely interesting light manipulation Quirk. It allowed the boy to create walls, platforms, and even simple illusions out of Hard Light. Izuku wanted it. And after asking Nezu, he was allowed to have it.

He arrived at the classroom and stared up at the incredibly large door. When asked, Nezu would tell people that they were that size for accessibility, to allow even people who's quirks made them larger to join UA. Izuku knew the actual reason. Nezu had designed the doors to be as big as they were because it was intimidating, and Nezu loved the idea of people being scared of a door.

He walked over to the door and pulled one of his favourite pranks. Making his voice super deep, he knocked on the door loudly three times, being before kicking it in with a yell of "FBI, OPEN UP". He burst into the room with finger guns at the ready, people there was a flash of red from Aizawa's eyes, and then blackness.

The blackness disappeared and he found himself face-first on the ground, 1-A students crowding around him. He stood up and brushed himself off. "Good morning everyone! Can someone tell me what the fuck just happened?" The class looked confused for a moment before one of the students recognised him as one of the schools cryptids.

There was mass confusion, before Aizawa turned to his class, erasure flashing as his hair rose. "Midoriya, what are you doing here?" Izuku smiled. Aizawa was one of the only teachers left who refused to call him Izuku. He would get him one day.

"Well, I was originally here to kidnap Kori Kemonai!" The boy in question paled, fear in his eyes. "BUT now that I think about it, that's the first time you used erasure on me right? Could we do another test? Please use Erasure on me for as long as you can" Aizawa sighed, knowing that until he humoured Izuku, there would be no class.

Izuku sat down in Aizawa's chair and he zapped the boy with Erasure. He instantly passed out, his body, now not under the effects of his quirk, collapsing due to tiredness. There was a small beeping coming from his goggles, which Aizawa recognised as the energy scanner Izuku used to start the replication process. Aizawa sighed as he reached his limit, fully expecting some machine or module that could erase Quirks to show up on Izuku in a few days, weeks if he was lucky.

The second Erasure was gone, Izuku woke back up, and ran to the door. "Sorry about that Aizawa! Thank you for all the interesting data!" Izuku was stopped by Aizawa's Capture Weapon. Aizawa was giving him a tired stare.

"I thought you wanted to kidnap Kemonai". Izuku beamed, nodding his head. "OH YES! Uh… I just have a few ideas for your Quirk first, then I'll work with Kori!" He gave the boy a wink. "Please don't expel him! At least not until I'm done with him!" Izuku sprinted out of the room, smiling widely, slamming the door.

Aizawa turned back to his class, whose faces were a rainbow, ranging from confusion to irritation to amusement. Kori's face was fearful. He sighed. "That was Midoriya Izuku. One of Nezu's personal students. If you need any new ideas for your Quirk or support items, He and Mei Hatsume are probably your best bet in the entire city, just be ready for their insanity".

He zipped his sleeping bag back up fully, before telling the class to free study. Midoriya's visit had sapped all of his will to teach from him.

End Flashback


Izuku smiled as he remembered that day. It had led to one of his favourite tools, the [Erasure Projector]. He had tried to turn into a module for his [Power Belt], but whenever he tried to use it, it put him to sleep, therefore a projector. Looking like a normal LED light wall, the red light that was emitted from the projector worked exactly like Aizawa's Quirk, and Izuku was trying to minimise it so it could be worn.

Now, with only around 2 months until he was an actual student of UA, he was starting to get excited and nervous. Not about the entrance exam, no. he practically owned the school at this point, and he was Nezu's favourite person in the whole world. There was no way he wasn't getting in, especially after Power Loader nearly had a stroke trying to make sense of his [Control Goggles].

No, he was worried about actually interacting with kids his age. Besides Mei and Katsuki, he didn't really talk to many other 15-year-olds. He hadn't really interacted with anyone other than those 2 since he got into N-1. Probably the closest people to friends outside of Mei and Katsuki were UA's current Big 3, who are starting their 3rd year.

Izuku LOVED Mirio's Quirk and had nearly cried when he couldn't replicate it. Nejire's wasn't of much use to him, he could make machines that fired lasers much more powerful than hers, but he still loved her Quirk and was credited with most of her support items. For Mirio, Izuku had personally built the entirety of his suit, and Mirio had to admit it was fantastic.

'Back to the party Izuku, you can reminisce later'. He shook his head, pulling himself back to the present, to hear the start of the dreaded happy birthday signing. He sat awkwardly as Nezu, The Hatsume's, and the Bakugou's all sang at him, unsure of what he was supposed to do. The singing finally stopped, and Izuku blew out his candles.

"Happy Birthday Izu!" Mei yelled, wrapping him up in a hug. She had taken to calling Izuku 'Izu' for the 'sake of efficiency' as she explained, but Izuku knew she just wanted to give him the nickname after he gave her one. "Thanks, Mei-day! I can't wait to start UA! I wonder what Quirks the new students will have!"

As they sat there chatting, unaware that they were still hugging each other from the side [a regular occurence] Kan elbowed Inko slightly. She looked over to see Kan and his wife giving her the biggest shit-eating grins in the world. He leaned in to whisper something to her. "Hey Inko, guess what?" Inko rolled her eyes, already knowing where he was going with this. "Whatever could you be thinking about Mr Hatsume?" she put as much sarcasm as she could into the sentence, and the Hatsume's laughed.

Kan leaned in again, pointing at the still hugging pair. "They're about to go into high school-"

"-We get to start now!"
