Focused Resolve

"We have learned as much as we have suffered."

Date: September 16

Time: 8:30 AM

Place: Class 1-A classroom, U.A. High School

He yawned, eyes blinking, and later on scratched his head using his hand while sitting on his chair in front of him were papers and a laptop on his table.

"Students. While I check my papers, you can finish your case studies and unfinished homework from your teachers here in our room and don't tell anyone. Aside from those, you can do whatever you want and talk, but refrain from talking as loud as Present Mic. I'll give you 15 minutes before I announce something to everyone."

In the middle of the Homeroom session inside the Class 1-A classroom, Shota Aizawa, also known as pro-hero/teacher 'Eraserhead' let his students do whatever they want, but he requested them to remain the noise as constructive and productive as possible while he, looking all stressed with visible eye bags on his face was currently checking paper works in both admin-related and pop quiz results from his students. His thoughts kept remain inside his head regarding his principal's odd suggestion of putting the former villain now a lone wolf to the U.A. and the recent urgent meeting with the Nezu, but together with his colleague/teacher, Sekijirou Kan or also known as 'Vlad King'.

After consuming their time on finishing the remaining paperwork given by their respective teachers, they used the few minutes on talking about everything, but mostly the controversial press conference yesterday. Most of their reactions after watching were still afraid if ever the Deathsinger's quirk would go uncontrollable again or have another hidden agenda from his former colleagues even if he left the League a long time ago.

The red-haired Kirishima Eijirou along with Hanta Sero, and Denki Kaminari stood up and walked over to their friend to talk about the said topic.

"Hey Bakubro, Good Morning!" He placed his hand on other's shoulder and grinned.

Katsuki glanced up to them, not minding the hand on his shoulder. "Hey. What the fuck do you guys want?"

He whined. "Salty in the morning, eh? Don't be like that! I just want to check my best friend!"

The ash blonde grunted as he finished writing on his case study paper. "If you need anything from me, just say it already—"

"Well, I was wondering what happened to your visit to the hospital yesterday. You messaged me you wanted to check on him. How was he?"

"Deku~" He thought to himself as he remembered his face at the hospital.

He sighed and rubbed his temples before looking at him. "Oh, about him? He was asleep when I visited his private room. He looked exhausted from the treatments and therapies the doctors gave him."

"Well, the important is he's not in a deep coma anymore. By the way, how come the guards allowed you to visit his room since the hospital is heavily monitored by the police force?" The black haired asked.

"Izuku's parents backed me up, especially his father who've just come back home after 16 years of not seeing him. Hell, the funny thing I've told by the old man that he used to be an infamous villain before we were even born"

"EEHHHH?!" The trio gasped in surprise as Mina Ashido joined the group and heard the commotion.

"What did I just hear? The Deathsinger's father used to be a villain?" The pink-skinned blinked.

"Tell me, he used to be a member of League of Villains?" Denki asked with a thought.

"He was the infamous 'Arson', according to him. It's a long complicated story." He waved his hand and shrugged it off. "You know what? It's nothing important anymore since he's a changed man. He also wanted to help his son regarding the quirk Izuku inherited from his father once he's fully well."

The group continued to talk about Izuku and the presscon, while Todoroki located at the last row seat looked at them with a curious look on his face, trying to connect the dots inside his mind since he's the king of theories after all.

"So the father used to be a villain 16 years ago with a demon quirk and later passed it to his son? Does that mean the two used to work in the same organization? Does the father even aware or familiar with the league of villains? The family of villains or victims of their uncontrollable quirk? I don't want to judge quickly, but I can't resist! Why am I overthinking too much, Todoroki. Just stop making nonsense theories…!" He thought to himself with a poker-faced look and blinked twice.

Shoto's seatmate, Momo Yaoyorozu checked on him with a worried look. "U-Uhh…are you okay there? Todoroki? It seems you're in deep thoughts again."

He shook his head a few times and looked back. "O-Oh…sorry about that. Did I scare you, Momo?"

"N-No, no! I was also wondering your stand about our principal's suggestion on putting Deathsinger to the U.A—"

"All eyes on me and stop whatever you're doing. I have to tell something important!"

Shoto was about to answer her question when their homeroom teacher stood up and told some students to go back to their proper seats. Aizawa cleared his throat, adjusted his scarf before making an announcement.

"All Might, Principal Nezu and I were at the live press conference yesterday and I think you are all aware and watched the replay when your classes had ended, am I right?"

All the students nodded.

"He is currently under protection by the government, police force, and the hero community. They believe he is the only key to disclose all the information about the League of Villains, therefore, they want him to be the state witness. The interrogation and negotiation with the teen are currently ongoing, according to the detective and I hope the investigation would end well."

He paused for a bit and let out a yawn.

"Another thing. The suggestion coming from our principal about putting the teen to our institution was crazy and odd idea. I was really against it considering about the safety of security not just the students of U.A., but to everyone, until we recently had a meeting with the principal together with my colleague All Might and Class 1-B homeroom teacher, Vlad King regarding that matter."

Iida raised his hand. "As the class president of Class 1-A, may we know what happened to the meeting, sir?"

"First, we talked about the suggestion of putting him to our school and his demonic quirk. I've heard from Bakugo and his friends about the relation of the father's quirk to him and yes, it is confirmed he used to be an infamous villain named 'Arson' for one and a half decades ago. We found his little information from the detective's back up data last night. During his history, he did horrible things as villains do. He got arrested and did his time. Freed as a changed man, married to have a family, and worked outside Japan. I don't want to tell any more details as we are focusing the current issue."

All of them nodded as the class president jotted some notes.

"Now, the principal suggested either of us, Vlad King and I to be his homeroom teacher. His demonic quirk requires blood and many techniques to be able to achieve his transformation which is why Vlad King is an expert in blood control and can guide him well. But, our principal also wanted me to be his homeroom teacher for I specialize in nullifying different types of quirks in case it gets uncontrollable again as we saw on live television. He believes that I can help the poor boy's sudden rage and panic attacks, psychologically."

The class vice president asked by raising her hand.

"Yes, Yaoyorozu?"

"Would there be a poll from the school whether they want him to stay at either of you and Sir Vlad King? And when will Izuku attend at U.A.?"

"Our principal will decide who's going be Izuku's homeroom teacher by making further assessments. We still do not have the specific date as he's still under hospital arrest or depends on the outcome of the investigation from the teen. But you guys have to be ready for his sudden arrival at the school. We must uphold our great values and treat each other with respect regardless of differences." He pointed at Iida and Yaoyorozu and told to stand up.

"You two, the representatives of Class 1-A. In case our principal chooses me as his homeroom teacher, you are also partly responsible for guiding Izuku at the school and maintain your classmates' good behavior and attitude towards the newcomer. It may sound like we are treating him like a VIP person and it sounds very irritating, but we want to prove we have the best values of all the hero schools in Japan. Understood?"

"We won't disappoint." The two bowed twice before sitting down.

The brunette raised her hand nervously and later stood up.

The teacher looked at her. "Yes, Uraraka?"

"U-Uhhmm… in case Midoriya starts to study here, he missed a lot of lessons and training. Will he have separate lessons just for him?"

"Good question." He nodded. "He'll have night cram online remedial classes from different teachers at U.A., but he will still attend the morning classes with everyone. It would be very difficult for his part to manage his studies and investigation regarding the incident so yes, I bet he will survive in our current curriculum." He started sorting his papers on the table before letting out his final say.

"Lastly, once he agreed on the conditions from both parties, he will reside at your dorm, the Heights Alliance since we have another empty room slot just for him. Todoroki and Bakugo will be his neighbors." He grinned as the two students blinked. Katsuki looked away with a slight blush.

"Finally, I can be his neighbor and once he stayed at U.A., I can also tell my feelings to him." He thought to himself.

Todoroki, on the other hand, looked down with deep thoughts. "Maybe this would be the right time to ask him about my family once he starts to attend classes."

"Homeroom session has ended. Your next teacher will be here shortly." He waved his hand before leaving the classroom as his students thanked him for the announcement.

Location: 10th floor, Izuku's private ward at Musutafu Medical Center

Detective Naomasa and Izuku POV

After Izuku's sudden outburst towards the detective inside his private ward, he paused for a moment as he tried to cool himself by looking away, releasing out the tension and stress inside his head and later apologized to Naomasa. The detective understood his frustration about revealing the dirty truth from the hero community as he as well tried to comfort him and reminded the teen to calm down.

The green-haired placed his hand on his forehead and muttered an apology.

"I-I'm uhh…I'm sorry. It feels like my medications have worn off. I-I didn't mean to shout at you in the middle of this….investigation."

Naomasa nodded and rubbed his temples.

"It's fine. I've actually expected that. I should've visited you on the next day instead since by judging at your current condition, it seems you're still not mentally ready for—". He got interrupted by Izuku by waving his hand.

"No, it's okay. I really do not even want to stay here any longer in this room." He cleared his throat as his mood changed into a serious tone.

"Look, here is we make our stand….do as I say, it is the only way if you all want to live…or as well want to restore your so-called 'symbol of peace'."

"I'm listening…" he opened again his notebook as he prepared to write some important details.

"Before I disclose everything I know about the league, you have to first grant my request." He pointed at the opened window as the black raven appeared on them, observing.

Naomasa looked at the bird and blinked. "It must be your pet, Izuku."

"She's more than just a pet. She's one of my twelve black ravens who appeared to me when I finally activated my demonic quirk back then. Now, there's a micro storage device attached to her feathers and it contains the information of undisclosed health issue about your number one hero, Toshinori Yagi or also known as 'All Might' and Endeavor's scandal about his family and 'quirk marriage'."

"We also have the files, but mostly about All Might's health. And about Endeavor's issued, how did you know about this?"

"Trust me, I'm not one of those people who spread fake news and what I gave you is real and authentic. All For One called me a genius for nothing." He smirked and chuckled.

"I've been doing my long research at them way back when I was a member of League of Villains. All For One already knew about it and if I were you, you should start disclosing it to the society before the villains' even leak the information….if you truly want to fix the hero community. It may affect the trust of the people around you, but rest assured it will be a good benefit to everyone. They have the right to know everything after all."

While jotting down notes on his notebook, the raven flapped her wings and flew inside towards the detective's shoulder.

"She'll be with you until you start spreading the information to the public. She doesn't peck nor scratches you unless I told her so."

Naomasa nodded, not minding the raven on his shoulder. "Thank you for this, Midoriya. How about the other one? The information about the League of Villains?"

Izuku stayed silent after the detective requested again for more clues about his former organization. He tilted his head while looking at him. "This may sound like I'm playing games with you, but if you're the person who is starving for answers, then you should first disclose the hidden secrets of the hero community. You all want me to be the main source of their whereabouts and key witness then you should follow my request first. You'll get the pot of gold filled with information after I watch the news regarding that matter…"

"B-B-But Izuku I thought that you would—"

"Look sir detective. I'm not the enemy you're facing right now. Hell, I am trying to help you and the community even if I don't want to." He crossed his arms. "You have 12 hours to discuss with your people and spill the tea in the public."

The detective jotted some notes and closed his notebook. "Tell me…why are you doing this?"

"So I'm a bad guy now, huh? I was just helping you out and the truth is what I offer and that plan was part of my failed revolution plot against the hero community and this is why I want to take advantage of you all to continue my plan….wait….it is our plan now." He lied on his bed now as he looked at the ceiling and sighed. "I'm very sorry detective, but that is all I can give you for now."

The detective with the raven on his shoulder stood up and fixed his things before letting his final say. "I have no words to say to you, but this is a little difficult for my part as a detective and a friend to All Might. We've been close friends a long time and now you've wanted me to disclose his health to the public it's just…it's too early to have a declaration."

"Either you let the people know about the truth or knocked out dead with your own blood by the League of Villains upcoming invasion. Time is limited and you all must take action."

Dabi, Natsuo, and Fuyumi POV

It was lunch break as the Todoroki siblings, Natsuo and Fuyumi met at the local ramen house to have a sibling date since they haven't got much bonding together ever since the silver-haired jock moved to college to study medical welfare while his older sis is currently teaching.

"Finally, I get to spend my time with my big sis~! You don't know how much I missed you since I started college!" Natsuo whined before taking a slurp of his ramen.

"I feel the same way, Natsu. Too bad, we couldn't invite our little brother Shoto to join us since the last time he told me that they'd be very busy with their exams and training at U.A..

"As expected from our lil' bro! Trying to be busy and independent as always…just like our old fart." He grunted.

Fuyumi chuckled. "Hey, don't be like that!"

"Why? After our father did to our mom who is still residing in a mental facility. He's the reason why our family is torn apart as we still do not know where our older brother is." He looked down and sighed.

She tried to cheer him up with a slight smile. "Don't worry, Natsu. We'll get through this together. One day, we'll finally see Touya….or maybe he'll come back right in our doorstep."

The two later continued talking about family, college, and work as the far away from their table, the spiky black haired Dabi sitting on the other table, hearing their chitchats and looked at them with a sad face.

"Natsuo….Fuyumi….you've grown and matured well. I missed you two so much…" He mumbled.
