Whilst awaiting the results of his entrance exams, Midoriya continued harnessing his skills with the League of Villains. He had improved greatly over the last ten months and was extremely confident that he could make it into Yuuei with the top scores depending on his results of the written exams. He already knew that he had aced the practical exam so it all came down to his intelligence.

Two days after his exam, he was summoned by All for One. Kurogiri arrived to pick him up from his house and take him straight there. When they arrived, Kurogiri said his farewell to Midoriya and left, leaving him alone with All for One. Midoriya made his way through the darkened room to where All for One was sitting and bowed his head.

'Midoriya' he said. 'I have summoned you here to let you know that I have a job for you.'

Midoriya couldn't stop himself from getting excited. His very first mission. He didn't allow himself to get too carried away and stayed silent, allowing All for One to continue. 'What I want you to do is go and retrieve something for me. It's a briefcase located at a club about four blocks from the bar. Kurogiri has all the things you will need back at the bar. Go.'

With that, Midoriya turned to the portal and walked through. The briefing was short from Kurogiri as All for One had explained most of what he was going to do, but Kurogiri gave him some tips as to what he should do if he is discovered. He also handed him a fake ID which made him the legal age to be in the club.

Midoriya took it all in and processed the information. He had always been good at stuff like that, being able to work through problems and figuring out solutions as well as taking in all kinds of information and storing it for later, like a filing cabinet in his mind.

'Remember Midoriya, this is an infiltrate and extract. Be smart and think things through before you do anything. Good luck' Kurogiri told him before he headed out of the bar and to the club that was a mere few blocks from the bar. Upon arriving at his destination, he noticed a bouncer outside the club. Which means he would need a distraction to slip inside.

Just then, as his luck would have it, two middle-aged drunk men stumbled and rolled out of the bar in a brawl. Their punches were sloppy and their slurred insults indecipherable. The bouncer then did what his job description said and went to break up the fight. Midoriya realized he had only ten to twenty seconds to slip into the bar so he made his move. He pulled his hood up so he couldn't be recognized by the cameras on the outside and he just walked in.

Once inside, he had to make his way to the VIP area at the other side of the rather large club. Luckily, with it being a weekday, the club wasn't too full. Midoriya was able to move rather easily between the drunken occupants of the dance floor. He had a bit of difficulty trying to get past a dancer who was a little more on the larger side, but besides that, made it through without much hassle.

Getting to the VIP area was a rather simple task, getting in would be a completely different matter. Midoriya also realized that he wouldn't have much time before security came looking for the guy who just waltzed in without being checked by the bouncer. He had to think and move quickly, and he knew just what to do.

He waited a moment and saw someone walking out of the VIP area, so he walked towards him and made sure to stumble right into him. He stepped away and started apologizing profusely to the man. The man just huffed and stormed off. Midoriya walked up to the bouncer at the entrance to the VIP area and showed him his newly acquired pass and the fake ID Kurogiri had handed him before he left.

One of the training sessions with Kurogiri had Midoriya learning to pickpocket in the event that something like that was ever needed. And Midoriya was grateful that Kurogiri devoted one of the training sessions to teach him such a valuable skill for situations such as this one.

After being granted access, Midoriya had to get upstairs to where the briefcase was. That was simple enough and he made it to the room that Kurogiri said the briefcase would be. He listened for voices and when there weren't any, he tried the handle. Locked. So he used another valuable skill that Kurogiri had taught him, lock picking.

It was this moment that Midoriya realized just how skilled and talented Kurogiri actually was, and was glad that he taught Midoriya all of these skills.

Midoriya had to use his small pocket knife to get the door open, and after a few attempts, managed to get the door open. He made his way inside and saw the briefcase lying there on a desk. 'This is a bit too easy' Midoriya thought aloud.

'You never know, kid. You're mission might not be over yet' a voice came from behind him, making Midoriya jump slightly at the sudden noise. He turned to see a man there with a mask over his face, and a gun in his hand, pointed directly at Midoriya.

'I've known about All for One's little ploy from the beginning' the man said. 'As soon as I took the briefcase from him I knew he would try and take it back from me. Little did I know, he would send a child to retrieve it for him.'

The man started laughing at this, which made Midoriya shake in anger. He was being mocked by this man, and he wouldn't stand for it. He just needed an opening and he could make a move. 'I've called the police. But I wouldn't mind sending you back to All for One with a few holes in your chest, kid' the man told him.

Midoriya had his back to the desk and reached behind him to grab the briefcase. He prayed that nothing valuable was inside and threw the briefcase at the man and charged at him. The case hit the man on the head with such force that it knocked him backwards and made him drop his gun.

With the man's guard down, Midoriya took his chance and pounced on him, knocking both of them to the floor. Although clearly being the better fighter out of the two, Midoriya found he was completely out muscled and the man was able to just throw him off.

With Midoriya finally off of him, the man then made for his gun and picked it up, although the gun was also grasped by Midoriya who had also gone for it. The two kept wrestling over the gun for a few more minutes. Then, a gunshot rang out through the whole of the top floor of the club.

Midoriya stumbled away from the man and looked down to make sure it wasn't him, only to see his black hoodie begin to stain. He looked up in shock to see the man had already run off with the briefcase, before collapsing to the ground and losing consciousness.

I'm so, so, so sorry that it has taken me so long to update. I've just moved house and I've been worked almost to death unpacking everything. I should be back to more regular updates from now on. Let me know what you thought of the chapter.

Next time - Punishment

Be back soon. Hopefully.
