That night, Ace and Luffy were pestered about how they were able to dodge Mirio and attack him back. They said they just somehow had a feeling where he'd pop up from. "Besides, Gunhead taught us proper dodging almost as the first thing." Uraraka said she knew that, too, from training with him during their short internships.
Midoriya said that Mirio looked really interested in them. "Well, they were the only ones able to fight back, so of course he would," Sero replied. Sato came from the kitchen and announced that the cakes were done. Everyone hurried over to get slices of the chocolate cake he'd made. They were giving the brothers more breaks from cooking as they all improved.
But Sato was still the best baker. They had an Italian pasta dish that Momo had had when she visited there once, and then they went to bed, excited for what would happen next, if not a bit antsy.
Ace and Luffy were excited, too, but got to sleep just fine.
A couple days later, something surprising happened. A photographer and interviewer was allowed to stay with the kids to do a scoop on their daily lives. It was uncomfortable for many, but others were excited about it.
Many already decided to stay in their rooms when he was there, including Ace and Luffy. But when they were told this was for the world to know how they were adjusting to the dorms, and that it showed parents and guardians how they were doing and if they were happy there... Maybe Gunhead would see it.
They weren't happy about this much, but they had a message for him that they'd show to the camera. A sign for Gunhead to know he was missed. They both felt the new presence before they saw him, and he looked like a journalist somehow even if the twins rarely saw them.
He introduced himself as Tokuda, a reporter. "Thanks for having me today," and he bowed, the rest of the class returning it. They wondered what he really wanted, sensing a fib under the surface even though he seemed like a journalist. Hmm, they'd see later, they guessed. He asked them to be normal and not put a front for the camera. He did say he'd ask some questions, but that was it.
The minute he was done talking, Ace and Luffy left the room but both came back with shirts that had paper taped to both the front and back that all said, "We miss you Gunhead" and didn't even try to hide it. The others laughed but they got back to their meals. Ashido and Hagakure made breakfast that day.
They had to take the signs off for going to school, and there were photos taken of them while they sat in the same seat, something they did regularly now. There was enough room for them to take notes and it was helpful that Luffy was left handed and Ace was right, so their elbows didn't bump.
After class that day, they asked Aizawa if they could move their desks together. He was understanding. It was still only six weeks after the incident. It felt nice that they weren't shamed, and they got to do that.
The camera guy asked them later why they sat together. "We're twins. The summer camp incident hit us harder than everyone else," Ace said vaguely. Luffy had no problem with people knowing, and maybe they'd be inspired by Luffy's attitude after such a thing. Ace knew he was going to say something about it but didn't stop him.
"I was the one kidnapped and tortured. But I'm perfectly fine now, so nobody has to worry!" The guy was shocked, like everyone always was. He asked how he had stayed strong through something so scary, now sounding sympathetic but impressed. He sounded like a real person.
He took a picture off Luffy smiling while explaining, holding his brother's hand. "I was afraid of what would happen to Ace if I left him all alone. We're twins and all we've had for a long time, so we're really close. Maybe too close to some people, but it's just how it is. And we both want to be a hero pair so we work together. Always." Ace put his arm around Luffy's neck and grinned. "It wasn't scary as long as I thought about getting back home. I stayed awake for four days so they wouldn't kill me in my sleep. I did start to hallucinate at the end, and I thought all my saviors were walking cat people," he said with a laugh.
"We'll that's pretty much it. And maybe also add in that Luffy is talking to inspire other people. He's always been open about it with classmates." He said he'd love to add that in. Ace and Luffy shared glances and both shrugged. "As long as you don't make Luffy seem like he needs pity, that's fine."
The reporter grinned and said there was no reason for Luffy to be pitied over what he's managed to overcome by caring for his brother. "Oh, and please don't use the word perfect. Being called that bothers us. Also, please don't trash the school. They're going to do everything to protect us."
"Humble and kind. You'll make a good pair indeed. Thank you for being honest with me. I will not say anything about the school." The twins waved it off and said they were going back to the dorms to do homework.
Only the next day the article came out. It had a photo of both brothers smiling. "U.A. Sports Festival Fan-Favorite Opens Up About Traumatic Incident"
During an unfortunate outcome from a villain attack on a protected hero summer camp, two students were taken. One to negotiate and one to torture. Luffy opened up about his torture, smiling and laughing all the same only weeks later. His inspiration and reason he kept going? His twin brother, Ace. He said he couldn't die and let his brother suffer. He stayed awake four days to keep living, and was finally rescued by the pro-heroes and taken to a hospital. He wants to inspire others to face their problems as well. It was traumatic for both, but they're happy and not letting those hurdles and painful times crush them. They should inspire everyone going through a tough time.
These brothers are much stronger than shown during the sports festival! They are being kept as safe as possible with the building of the U.A. dorms where the students enjoy living. Is it a happy ending? So far! Keep up the good work, U.A. students!
And then there was a picture of them with their messages on their backs while sitting with others. Showing their message and also showing the other students were happy all eating dinner together. They assumed that was their gift for giving the reporter an inspiring story.
"Ahh! You guys are in the news! Why didn't I get interviewed?" Ashido complained. Shoji pointed out that the public didn't know much about her. They knew about the brothers from when they stood out before. Luffy had attracted people to him and was now easy to recognize on the street, as well as Ace.
"A news story on you wouldn't have been as popular since nobody would know who you are." Ashido pouted. "At least they made U.A. look good, though. I thought they'd trash it." Ace said that they asked him not to. They were glad they wouldn't be in trouble since Aizawa had not said a protest to being interviewed. Maybe not about that, but there had been no specifications.
They were surprised when All Might came to their dorm building, knocking on the front door and then letting himself in. He made a beeline for Ace and Luffy who grew stiff. "Do not worry young Ace and Luffy, you are not in trouble. The opposite. As a school, we'd like to thank you for the interview you gave. Not only has it made our students look strong, but it also highlighted that we are doing everything we can to protect you all.
"We've gotten many apology emails and letters from both parents and citizens. It seems it helped redeem U.A. just a little bit for our mistakes. We commend your honesty and openness about that incident. So we thank you." Luffy was beamed and put his hand behind his head.
He said, "We asked them to not trash the school, we didn't expect them to make it sound good. He was a nice guy. And he put up photos with our shirt messages!" he laughed. The others laughed as well, and the atmosphere was wonderful, full of cheer and proudness.
"I am going to say it. An honest hero is trusted more than one who says false truths. If you can't believe the words of a hero being true, then how can you believe in them?" Ace and Luffy saw huge hypocrisy in this statement, as All Might had been hiding his injury and state for years. But nobody said anything.
Luffy just smiled and thanked him. Bakugo didn't scoff or scowl. The twins had a feeling he'd never react to anything about the time with the villains that both of them had shared. Which was nice.
When they went to class, even the students not in the hero courses, thanked him for making the school look good, and smiled at them. Both Ace and Luffy were feeling good. They hadn't pretended for these people to like them, they hadn't even tried. Luffy and Ace gave an honest interview, they didn't do it to be popular or well liked, though it was a good side effect.
When they got to class, Aizawa simply said that it was a good interview in his bored voice, and class started. The first thing he told them was that the teachers and principles had talked about them doing the hero work studies and had all said no. The students were rightfully upset. But then Aizawa said that some think that they wouldn't make good heroes in today's politics, so they came to the conclusion that first years will only be allowed to go to agencies with good track records of accepting work study students.
Ace and Luffy wondered where they'd go. There wasn't a huge list this time. "We already are strong, and we already did rescue training. Maybe we should choose an agency that teaches how to be a responsible hero correctly besides rescue situations," Ace mused, Luffy agreeing.
"Then we'd be hitting the big three requirements, right? A hero mindset, hero skills, and hero rescue," Luffy replied. Midoriya looked at them from in front and frowned. "What's wrong?" Luffy asked.
"You guys have more training than a lot of us. You were already strong so you got to skip that step and got to Thirteen." Ace pointed out that he could have gone to Thirteen. But he said that he hadn't been offered. They forgot about that.
"Well now you have another chance," Ace said positively.
After class, Ace and Luffy were walking to the cafeteria when they felt Mirio's strange presence come over to them through the wall. "Hey! You two are the ones who were solid, right?" Ace and Luffy nodded. "Can I talk to you both for a bit?" The two weren't too hungry, so they agreed. They went to a bench in an area not very busy. "I read your article this morning." Ace and Luffy looked uneasy. "I thought it was amazing! I couldn't even tell you two went through that. You were both so energetic and Luffy was so happy. It was funny, your answers in class. I tried not to laugh!"
Luffy said, "I like that you seem happy, too. And you don't seem like a liar-happy person." Mirio swore he wasn't a liar and was naturally happy. Then he got back on topic.
"So you're doing hero work studies soon, correct?" they both nodded, and Ace said they didn't know who to pick yet or really how to pick. "We're already strong physically and with our quirks, and we did rescue training with Thirteen for our first internships. The next step is practical hero-ing. Doing boring and responsible things. After that, we can be closer to being real heroes."
Mirio said he liked their honesty, and that their plan on progressing as heroes were good. Going from the easiest to the hardest. Since practical appliance of what they'd learned and trained for was incredibly helpful and necessary.
"Experience to be powerful, right?" Luffy asked, remembering his speech.
"Exactly! So, I was wondering if you'd both like to meet my own mentor for the hero work studies. He read your interview and asked to see you both, already knowing of your strength and teamwork shown during the sports festival. And after how he'd seen Luffy so bubbly, but switch gears when he had to be serious.
To that, Luffy said, "Everyone thinks me being silly and happy makes me stupid. But we're not, we're both top of the class in skill and academics. Learning is fun so we take advantage of the chances." Mirio put his thumb up and said that was how he was seen as well. Silly and stupid by people meeting him for the first time, but hardworking and smart once they got to know them.
Ace finally asked who his mentor was. "He's Sir Nighteye, a pro-hero who worked under All Might." They looked uneasy.
"I heard he's really harsh and cold," Luffy said.
Mirio just grinned. "Once you get to know him, you'll see that isn't the case. And besides, don't you think being under someone strict will prepare you for the real world? If torture didn't break you two and you're still happy, then I doubt being under someone strict for parts of your day will hurt you."
Ace and Luffy agreed with that. It would be a good experience. Then they could show they're not just bubbly and strong, but smart and responsible. "And also, you guys were adopted by Gunhead, so you already know some of the basics outside of class." The twins nodded, saying they'd be glad to meet him.
"After school, then, I'll introduce you!" Ace and Luffy nodded, saying they looked forward to it.
And when school did get out, they went to where they could tell Mirio was, looking forward to meeting somebody new, even if he was strict. Mirio walked them to the train station since the agency was an hour away by train. "So, when did you decide to be heroes? It's a big wish, isn't it? A lot of dedication."
Ace answered for both of them. "When we lived on the streets, no heroes regulated our area, villains came after us all the time for our quirks, other kids came after us for food. We wished a hero would be there, and we wanted to smile. So it only made sense we wanted to be what we wanted to come to us," he said lightly, knowing this person wouldn't share their secret. Somehow, both of them could just tell.
Mirio was quiet. "You two are so happy because you have a new life, aren't you?" Both of them nodded. They were on the train now, speaking quietly.
Luffy added, "We went to school for the first time last year. We crammed elementary school and junior high curriculum in four months instead of six. It was awesome, learning new things and feeling smart. So we continue to go the extra mile and get things done ahead of time. We don't try to be top of the class, that's not our goal."
Ace finished, "We just like being smart. And kind. Luffy's always trying to bring people together. Trying to make class 1-A and class 1-B get along. It works sometimes, well, most times."
Mirio said, "I saw your speech at the sports festival. I was touched! You even spoke encouragingly to all of your opponents."
Luffy laughed and pointed out that they weren't really competing for the first round, just wanted to have fun. "In the second round, we wanted to see if we could get everyone's' headbands. And then the third round we both wanted to make it to the top and take first and second place while having a good fistfight."
Ace nodded, and they would always treasure that experience. "It was crazy that we got 15,000 offers. But we were already planning on going to Thirteen and learning how to rescue people from disasters, which was really helpful during the provisional license exam."
They had reached the building and Mirio told them that Sir Nighteye liked to laugh, so they better have some jokes. Luffy and Ace didn't know any, so they'd have to get by somehow. They wondered what he hadn't told them this earlier. Maybe it was like a pop quiz or something.
The door opened and Mirio grinned, brightly telling Sir Nighteye they were there. They smiled and then Luffy tripped a bit in the doorway. "Oh no," Luffy said darkly. Then they plastered grins on their faces, ones of awkwardness and a bit embarrassment. "I tripped, and we're not making a very good impression already, so can we start over, please?"
Nighteye just barely scoffed, but it wasn't a mean one, like a disbelieving laugh. "Wow, you made him laugh without even trying," Mirio said in awe. Ace and Luffy beamed and walked in further.
"Does that mean you approve of us? If not, we can do other things but jokes. We don't know that many, so we can make some up if necessary." Ace stared at him. "Or not," Luffy added. Mirio asked them to make one up.
"Eh... Where do fish go to pee and poop? The bassroom," Luffy said with a laugh. "That wasn't very funny was it?"
Nighteye said, "You may stop. It was easy for me to approve of you the moment you walked through the door." The twins looked surprised. Nighteye put the newspaper on the desk top that showed their article and photos. "Not only was the article inspiring, but I knew you had a sense of humor and kindness by taping pieces of paper to your backs so you could reach a loved one.
"And Mirio also said you were able to handle him, and I've also watched the sports festival. Luffy easily spoke to the masses and then brought all of your class together with an impromptu speech and showed teamwork in one of the events. Just by that, I think you could blossom into good heroes."
Ace and Luffy were grinning sheepishly. "What are your hero names?"
"I'm FireFist Ace and he's Lu." Mirio curiously asked why Luffy's was so simple and part of his name. So Luffy gave them the reason he'd told the class long ago. Nighteye had a small smile on. Mirio said his hero name was "Lemillion" because he wanted to save a million people.
"Welcome to the Nighteye Agency. I will work you hard and you will have absences." Ace and Luffy nodded. They'd just cut out some work out time and use that to catch up. That day was more of an introduction, and they went home without Mirio, having the route on their phones now.
The next day they got up really early and made their way to Nighteye's quickly. Luffy made a big slide with Ace wrapped around his back tightly even though the slide was hardened so Ace could sit if he wanted. It took twenty minutes by steep slide before they landed right in front of the building, hurrying inside and up the stairs. They bypassed the train completely, going straight to the place.
Ace knocked on the door and was told to enter. Nighteye was surprised they were there so early. "Being early is better than being late. And our way to get here was faster than I anticipated," Luffy said with a grin. "Would you like us to not come early? We could leave school a little later."
"No, being early is fine. While the others aren't here I'll explain more about working here and the expectations." They nodded and put their backpacks down and sat in two chairs that were moved to in front of his desk. He explained the etiquette. Enthusiasm was encouraged as long as it didn't interfere with others' work.
In a couple more days they'd go on their first patrol with Mirio as their agency does a lot of patrolling. "You'll get to interact with people as heroes, which will be important training. Mirio will easily teach you the ropes. You two are young, but I can tell just by your faces that you've had a troubled life."
The twins lost their happy expressions, ones of confusion now on. Nighteye said he was excellent at reading people. "Struggles make people stronger. Going through hard times does not necessarily make you weak. Like with the U.A. training camp disaster." They both nodded. He said he wouldn't tell anyone what he observed of them.
"I'd like to test something. If you don't mind. Something physical." They looked at each other and then nodded. "I'm going to throw things at you and I want to dodge them with your eyes closed. I will know if you are faking or going easy. If you are, then you will look bad in my eyes."
They both swallowed and stood up, closing their eyes. He threw things rapidly at them, and they dodged without bumping into each other. With a big one, Luffy couldn't help reach out and grab it. "Oh. Oops, sorry, I just did it on instinct, I'm sorry," he said worriedly.
Nighteye asked them what their quirks were, and they explained them. It didn't explain how they sensed things coming towards them fast enough to dodge or catch such objects. "I won't press you on information about how you can do those things, but I will keep in mind that you can."
The two nodded and were shown the office and where things were stored so they could do errands if asked. He told them that paperwork was important for heroes as well, especially to be organized.
They both nodded. "Gunhead has a whole filing cabinet in the laundry room that he uses." Nighteye said it was expected of pro-heroes. "Should we start keeping logs of our days so we can practice with logging events as heroes?" Luffy asked, not at all goofy anymore but being serious.
Nighteye didn't seem surprised that they could both be serious and hard working. It was nice. "That is a good idea. Don't put emotions into it, just events. Taking notes of events is also helpful. Show me the logs in three days so I can see if you're making any mistakes. There are two older log books that you may use. And I'd like both of you to do it separately even if you are going to be partner heroes."
They both nodded.
Then they felt people arrive, and looked at one another strangely. Why was Midoriya here? They pretended they hadn't noticed until the door was slammed open by Midoriya. Both of them stood up and they looked at one another. "What are you two doing here?" he asked.
Ace and Luffy looked to their new boss, wondering if they could answer. He nodded, "We started working here yesterday. Are you trying to be here, too?" He nodded dumbly. Then Nighteye came to attention, glaring at the newcomer.
It was like a horror show when Midoriya tried his joke, making his face look like All Might's and said "I am Midoriya Izuku!" He was never good at making people laugh, but he was doing his best.
Ace and Luffy stayed quiet, and Nighteye seemed pissed. "Are you… ridiculing All Might?" he demanded. Ace and Luffy were concerned and it was like watching a train wreck. They were glad they didn't fail the moment they entered the room as well. But, well, they weren't trying to be funny then. They just came across that way, and they already had some points scored before they came.
Luckily.
"What's with that face? What are you trying to do?" Then he and Midoriya got into an All Might super fan competition. Eventually it fizzled out and the twins and Mirio and Bubble Girl, who they'd briefly met, all watched. Nighteye eventually sat down at his desk and talked to Midoriya similarly how he talked to Ace and Luffy about their contracts.
He sounded a lot nicer when he was talking to them. Mirio was right, there was another side to him besides the cruel and cold looking one. But their conversation didn't end well, and he didn't stamp Midoriya's contract, because he didn't feel like doing so. He already had two sidekicks and three interns. So what would he be providing for them that they wouldn't.
Ace and Luffy were worried about their friendship with Midoriya crumbling more if they got the job he wanted only a day before and stole his spot if he'd gone earlier. Plus, they were accepted immediately. It was not going that way with Midoriya.
Nighteye asked what he would contribute to society, how he'd get acknowledged. Why he would make a good hero. Man, it was so lucky Luffy was able to make that small speech. Everyone knew him after that, even if he and Ace hadn't won each game with smiles and laughter.
The two were already known as happy and charismatic heroes that were partners.
Then Nighteye stood up, telling Midoriya he'd be better off proving his worth through action and not words. "You have three minutes. Try and take this seal from me in three minutes or less. If you want to work as a hero under me, then stamp the seal yourself." Midoriya looked shocked. "I'm saying that, even if you don't possess a single funny bone, I'm giving you a chance. Well, don't you think I'm a nice guy?" Then he told the others to go outside.
"Yes, sir!" they all said, and the four of them left the room. They pressed their ears against the wall. They heard him tell them to get away from the door. So they did, and went to sit on a bench in the hallway.
"I hope he gets in. He might be mad at us," Luffy mumbled. Ace leaned back and said if he was a friend, he wouldn't ostracize them for being successful. After all, friends are supposed to encourage one another. "I know, but still."
Mirio asked what they were talking about. "We were all best friends in junior high and then the beginning of high school. But we've been getting more and more distant. There are many reasons, but his reason might be that he doesn't like that we're ahead of him. We can't understand that feeling, but we do feel sorry if he thinks that way. We've always encouraged him and supported him.
"Things just got different when he finally got a quirk. And we're happy he has friends now, since he didn't have any in junior high and we were the only nice ones to him. He doesn't need us around as much anymore," Ace explained, and then looked down. "We feel the same way. Things have changed a lot since the beginning of the school year. We're trying to fix it, but don't know what he thinks of it."
Luffy said, "We don't want to hurt him if he doesn't feel how we think he does."
When they went back, hearing a bang that Mirio and Bubble Girl thought was the end, they were glad to hear Midoriya was accepted. It made the twins breathe out a sigh of relief.
"Like I was with Ace and Luffy, I was planning on accepting from the moment Mirio brought you up. I knew you weren't completely useless. Your merit is quick thinking and dedication. Ace and Luffy's merits are their personalities and strength. We need all sorts of people as heroes. No type of hero is equal."
The twins smiled at hearing themselves praised. They were dedicated, but things came more naturally to them than Midoriya, so maybe he seemed more determined since he had to work a lot harder in different ways than the brothers.
In the end, Midoriya was accepted. Hopefully this could make the three into good friends again. Repair the damage that had been done by multiple things.
Ace and Luffy went home their own way, and Mirio laughed at it. They just rode a giant slide back to campus. They arrived at the dorms first, and told everyone that now all three of them worked with Nighteye. Everyone congratulated them and Midoriya when he finally got back, too. He seemed tired, probably from whatever fight was in the room they were kicked out of.
When they sat on the couch and the others came over, they were all in awe of them. Ace and Luffy refrained from making it sound easy since they sort of got in through recommendations. Midoriya asked how they had gotten in.
Luffy laughed. "It was a failed joke. First I tripped over Ace's foot in the doorway and asked for a restart. I think he found that funny, and we were sort of panicking so I said something stupid and offered to make up a joke since we don't really know any. It was sort of a mess, but he said he was already planning on accepting us for multiple reasons."
Midoriya laughed, seeming glad they had a stressful time, too. "I think Midoriya's was worse, though," Ace commented. "Nighteye was kind of mean to him, he wasn't mean to us. And then they got into a battle. We didn't have to do that."
The others said that they had proved they were strong. Midoroiya had shown he couldn't control his quirk, and hadn't been in the public eye since he started getting better at it. They all agreed with that, as it made sense. "There also wasn't much about his personality shown. But if Nighteye was planning to take him the whole time, why be so cruel?"
The three interns shrugged, not knowing. They asked what part Mirio played. "He came to us at lunch a couple days after the battle against him. At first we had no interest in working for Nighteye since he seemed strict and scary, but then he told us that working under someone strict would be helpful for hero life.
"We already are strong and have good team work, and we took our internship with Thirteen for rescue things," Luffy said. "But that wouldn't make us heroes. We need experience and getting it from an extreme place should be really helpful, shouldn't it?" The others nodded, that they had a good point.
"I always thought you two were ready to be heroes," Sero said with a laugh. Ace and Luffy shook their heads, knowing they had a long way to go. Todoroki and Bakugo were watching, irate with being left out and just mad that those three succeeded and he didn't. Though he wasn't targeting them much anymore.
Uraraka complained that Gunhead didn't have enough interns. She looked to Ace and Luffy and they said he'd had no long term internships that they knew of. "For awhile he didn't really have many people coming to the dojo because he was taking care of us, but that didn't last long and he got back to work soon, once he realized we could look after ourselves fine," the younger twin explained and then got up to make a smoothie for himself.
Ace stayed on the couch. "So, how old were you when he adopted you? Or, took you in," Kaminari asked. Ace answered honestly that he found them when they were twelve. This surprised everybody.
He was glad nobody pushed for more of an explanation as the powerful blender made Luffy his pineapple and strawberry smoothie that everybody else thought was disgusting. Including Ace, the two just didn't mix well to him. To each their own.
Tsu and Kirishima both said their previous teachers didn't take work studies either. Aizawa came up and said that it becomes a problem of who's responsible on the pros side. "Pros who accept students even after knowing the risks are the real thing." Then he told Tokoyami a big time pro had asked for him to work with him.
Then Kirishima was told Amajiki wanted to see him and Hado wanted to see Tsu and Uraraka. They'd see them tomorrow to see what it was about.
"Amajiki, I wonder what he wants with me," Kirishima wondered. Luffy started laughing in the kitchen about his suggestion that he actually used when he was too nervous to say anything. Some of the others chuckled as well. He was the only one that had replied to Mirio's failed joke.
Sero wondered what was up with his joke. "Why would he want to tell us the future is grim and then never explained it?" Ace and Luffy shrugged, since he was a positive guy. Midoriya didn't know either.
Tsu wondered what Hado wanted, and if it had anything to do with his work studies. "It better not or you'll be the special ones who get to work under the big three," Mineta said angrily.
Tokoyami said, "The big three are under the pros. If you get to work under a pro, it has nothing to do with them, right?"
Ashido pointed out that Ace and Luffy had also been asked for specifically. And that Midoirya was recommended as well. So that would make all six of those chosen acknowledged by the big three. The others beside Ace and Luffy drooped. "We all lost against Togata. That was embarrassing."
Luffy was back at the couch with his monster sized smoothie and said, "We were lucky with him. I barely had any time to put a shield up. He would have gotten me pretty badly, as well. Ace would have been fine, he can change his body into fire and negate physical attacks." Everybody nodded. "He's really strong. But I feel like he's like me. Everybody thinks he's stupid because of how bubbly he is when he's actually strong and smart."
Ace nodded, saying he'd come to that conclusion as well.
"Well, in any case, I'm gonna go talk to him right now! I can't wait until tomorrow!" Kirishima said, and Tsu and Uraraka ran after, all those three going to the third year's dorms.
Midoriya turned to Ace and Luffy and asked how long it took them to get to Nighteye's agency. "It took twenty minutes this morning, and twenty two at night."
"What? That's an hour long train ride! How'd you get there so fast?" Kaminari asked. Luffy laughed and said he made a really long slide that just just sat on and easily made their way to the agency. "My powers are good for simple things like that. Those are the most useful, not making body armor or complicated things like that."
Mioriya said, "Your power actually seems really fun to use." Luffy laughed and grinned, agreeing. He loved his quirk. It could do so many things.
