After nearly dying last night, Izuku managed to return to his room in the dorms and head to the guild the next morning. Even though he was extremely exhausted, he managed to recover thanks to the status recovery he purposely kept for circumstances like this.

Izuku, who arrived at the guild as usual, immediately went to his room. He then turned on his computer and checked the incoming report.

From what he saw it seemed like more and more dungeons were appearing lately. This is of course not surprising since one of them also appeared in the area around UA high school. Even though this was not a good sign, he still couldn't deny the benefits he would gain from this.

The more dungeons that appear, the more resources he can get. Even though Izuku is not someone who is crazy about wealth, operating a guild of this size certainly requires a lot of money.

Izuku looked at the list of gates that appeared on his monitor and began to arrange which gate would be his priority for proposing negotiations with the Hunter association.

Since the Dawn guild's operating area was in Tokyo, Musutafu, and the surrounding area, Izuku chose the dungeon in this area. If he chose a dungeon that was outside that area, he might cause conflict with other guilds. Moreover, they often argued with other large guilds about this issue.

After compiling the list he then sent it to the Guild master for approval before sending it to the Hunter association. Once his work was finished he looked at the clock which showed lunch time.

' it's almost time '

Izuku turned off his computer and prepared to leave. He then put on his guild robes and went downstairs to meet the driver who was waiting for him.

For class this time he went alone since Toya and the others had a raid schedule. It didn't take long for him to arrive at UA High School. When he arrived there, he was greeted again by the principal who was also accompanied by the class B homeroom teacher, Vlad King.

After exchanging light greetings they headed to Ground Beta since the Ground Omega they last used was in quite a bad condition and was still in the process of being repaired. The students had also gathered there wearing their hero costumes, even class A students were also there wearing their uniforms. Class A is also here just to watch and observe while not participating in this battle, although some look like they are unsatisfied about this.

Izuku then exchanged greetings with the students and chatted with them for a while. After that, they then continued class as scheduled.

The students were initially a bit skeptical as Izuku said he would summon his shadow soldiers to replace his comrades as match opponents for them. But when he summoned the generals of his shadow soldiers, everyone immediately fell silent.

How could they not, the intimidating aura emitted by Izuku's shadow soldiers felt darker and more threatening compared to Izuku's previous colleagues.

The match proceeds as before with Izuku summoning Igris, Tusk, Iron, and Tank as boss monsters. He excluded Beru since he would be serving as a medic. Apart from that, he also doubted whether Beru could restrain himself when facing the students considering his violent nature.

The class lasted for more than 2 hours as previously scheduled. After finishing class, they gathered in the monitoring room to review today's class.

Luckily, everything went smoothly and there were no sudden incidents like before. The class finally ended with Izuku giving the students some advice for them to improve.

After class finished, Izuku and the principal went to his room to discuss today's class and also their possible future cooperation.

Izuku then said his goodbyes as his discussion with the principal finished, and he also gave them some mana stones as a sign of their cooperation. He gave it to him since the principal asked him for the research materials that the student who made the artifact for Shimizu requested from the previous day.

The student seemed to have an interest in the artifacts the Hunters used and even asked if he could visit the workshop if permitted, and Izuku readily agreed.

" Thank you for today's vice guild master "

" You're welcome principal "

" right, please don't hesitate to visit, you are always welcome here. "

" Of course, I will keep that in mind, then please excuse me "

" Yes, be careful on the road, see you later, vice guild master. "

" yes, see you later "

After exchanging greetings, Izuku returned, but before that, he took the time to stop by the hospital to visit someone.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at the hospital. When he arrived there he went straight to the room where the person he was visiting was.

When he reached the room in question he then knocked on the door, and when he heard a voice allowing him to enter he then opened the door. There he could see Shinso who was already wearing his outer clothes. It looks like he was allowed to go home today.

Shinso was surprised by Izuku's sudden chewing and immediately stopped what he was doing.

" V-vice guild master?! "

" Just call me Izuku, how are you? "

" uh, yes, I'm fine "

" Looks like you're allowed to go home. "

" Yes, that's how is it "

" I see, that's good to hear. "

" um vice-, I-Izuku-san, why did you suddenly come here? "

" There are two reasons, the first reason is I want to confirm your condition and the other is to hear your answer. "

" You're a straightforward person, aren't you? "

" Not really, I said it because I thought you didn't want to hear some nonsense from me. "

Hearing Izuku's correct guess made him fall silent instantly. He felt both amazed and somewhat afraid of him since Izuku was able to judge what kind of person Shinso was just by meeting him twice, although that was also thanks to the data he received from the principal.

" So, do you have the unique desire to become a Hunter? "

Unlike before, the tone he used sounded less serious than before, and felt more relaxed. This made Shinso feel more comfortable asking what he wanted to ask.

" Before that, there is something I want to ask. "

" What is it? "

" Why did you become a Hunter? "

This time it was Izuku who was silent for a moment but put a smile back on his face. He had expected Shinso to probably ask this and couldn't help but smile when he heard it.

" It would be a long story if I told you here, should we go out first and talk about it? "

Following Izuku's advice, Shinso followed him walking to the park in front of the hospital while listening to his story. Izuku had offered him to carry his luggage, and how surprised he was when he saw the bag he was carrying disappear as if it had entered an invisible space.

When Shinso asks if that's a Hunter ability, Izuku simply answers yes with a casual tone and expression as if it's no big deal, but his expression quickly becomes disappointed when he hears that only a few Hunters have that ability.

They spent time walking while listening to Izuku's story until the sky which had previously turned orange from dusk became the night sky. Shinso calmly listened to Izuku's story and remained silent without asking anything until the story was finished.

" So that's the reason you became a Hunter "

" yes, that's right, it's not something great, right? "

After a while of talking, the two of them sat on one of the park benches with a half-empty can of soda.

" My reason isn't something noble like saving other people or something like that, it's just an excuse to find a place that suits me. "

" Not really, I think that's a suitable answer for you. But, have you never thought about becoming a hero? "

" I did, but unfortunately the person I admired made me bury that dream so deep that I forgot about it. "

" Is the person you admire the same person who threw you away? "

" You seem to catch on quickly "

A faint smile could be seen on Izuku's face when he heard Shinso's question while playing with the can in his hand. He then drank his drink again before answering again.

" Yes, you're right, even though it wasn't that they threw me away, it was I who chose to leave on my own feet. "

" I see... "

There was an awkward silence between them for a moment. Sensing the awkwardness, Izuku drained the rest of the drink in his can before reassuring him.

" Well, as you know, you and I have our own situations. To be honest, most Hunters of my generation have complicated problems that pushed them to become Hunters. My advice is it would be better for you not to leave your current life, at least think about your family who is worried about you, I'm sure you don't want to see them worried "

For a moment, Shinso looked like he was contemplating after hearing Izuku's story about him becoming a Hunter at an even younger age. He tried to imagine himself in Izuku's position. He was sacrificing his childhood and going in and out of dangerous dungeons which could threaten his life.

Even though this was the second time he had heard this, it was still amazing to see him now. Not only was he able to overcome the crisis and trauma, but he was even in his current position carrying the title of vice guild master of the No. 1 guild in Japan.

Izuku patiently waited for Shinso to gather his thoughts, and when he saw the change in his eyes, he knew he had made up his mind.

" Have you finished organizing your thoughts? "

Hearing Izuku's question, Shinso immediately turned to look at him and he could see the strong confidence in his eyes. He then nodded indicating that he had made a decision.

" Then can we hear your conclusion? "

" I... "

The next morning, he received a call from the principal of UA High School. Seeing he contact him this early even though they had only been apart for a day, Izuku could assume that he had heard Shinso's answer to his question yesterday.

Izuku immediately picked up the call and tried to greet him in a friendly manner. He immediately got an answer from the other party and from the tone the principal used, he could tell that the principal sounded displeased.

Realizing this, Izuku immediately apologized for his failure.

" I apologize in advance, principal, it seems I failed to convince Shinso-kun not to become a Hunter. "

Hearing this, principal Nezu couldn't help but sigh. He had heard the situation from Shinso and the reasons behind him choosing to be a Hunter rather than a hero.

" It's alright, this is also a failure on our part because we couldn't convince him either. "

" Well, maybe it seems because I still can't talk to people my age properly. "

" Yeah, you're not wrong I feel like you sometimes talk like an adult. "

" I hear that often "

" Okay, since the situation has turned out like this, we hope you will take good care of our students. "

" Wait, so do you allow this? "

" After hearing the situation and his decision, I couldn't help but agree. But still, since we accepted him, he has become a student under our care, therefore as his teacher, we have to ensure his safety, so how was it? Can you do it? "

" I see, I understand, of course, I will try to make Shinso-kun survive inside the gate since he also has the potential to become a strong one. Please tell him to come to the Dawn guild every weekend, there will be a Hunter class for new awakeners around that time, and I will also take the time to train it directly.

Is that enough to address your concerns, principal? "

There was no answer from the other side for a while, but he could faintly hear several people's voices that sounded like they were discussing.

Izuku again patiently waited for them to finish their discussion before answering again after about 10 minutes had passed.

" Alright, we will agree to that, but please make sure his activities as a Hunter don't interfere with his school life, after all, he is still our student. "

" of course, I will try my best except when there is an emergency call "

" Alright, that's enough then, thank you vice guild master. "

" You're welcome, thank you for entrusting us with this matter. "

After their final conversation, the principal then ended his call. Izuku briefly glanced at his off-phone then turned his eyes to the document in his hand. He currently holds the profile of Hitoshi Shinso who has just been registered as an awakener with high magical talent potential.

Seeing the numbers and explanations listed on the document made Izuku couldn't help but smile. Not only does his guild get an awakener with unique talents, but you also have the potential to become one of the strongest Hunters.

' I look forward to the future '
