Alright, so I had got a compelling rebuttal to my claim in the last chapter, that no person is born evil.
And this was a proper rebuttal, done politely and properly. So thank you.
They pointed out that some people despite growing up in good homes turned into Murders. As well as the fact that some people are born with mental disorders that don't allow them to feel empathy.
Of course, I am shortening it down quite a bit, but this is the gist of the counterargument.
My rebuttal.
Firstly, yes, people who grow up in a good home, can still become horrible people. However, that goes back to my argument about people gravitating towards evil, and good parenting.
Because good parenting also involves steering your children in the right direction. If you don't make an effort to instill morals into your children, you can give them all the love and care in the world, and they might still grow up to be terrible people.
For some children, that is going to be harder than others. And for some children, you're going to need to be more heavy-handed, and dole out harsher punishments. Some parents fail to do that, and as such, we get people growing up well-loved and cared for, they end up as bad people.
As for people with mental disorders that keep them from feeling empathy and other such things.
Well, that's complicated for me to get into, because I am not a professional in the field of mental health, and as such, I can't speak on details about how those things work because I would be speaking out my ass.
However, what I do know, is that there are many, many people who have these mental illnesses, and live perfectly normal lives. I've heard stories of people who have friends and love ones who have these mental illnesses, but you wouldn't know it unless they told you.
It is completely possible that even despite having a mental illness that makes you lack empathy, you can be a better person than someone without that mental illness.
My way of viewing this is as such. There are an unfathomable amount of decisions that can be made during a person's life, both by them and the people around them, that can change them for better or worse. And I don't believe there is a single person that will always end up rotten regardless of which one of those paths they walk.
It's all about guiding them down the right path. And unfortunately, that can be, stupidly difficult.
Even if a set of parents wants to do everything in their power to raise their child right and make them into a good person, they can get screwed over by either outside elements, or their own lack of knowledge. Because unfortunately being a good person, does not equate to being a good parent.
As I said earlier, if your child is leaning towards a dark path, and you don't have either the will to force them off that path, or the knowledge needed to pull them off it, or both, then that child will grow into a bad person.
I say that anyone can be a good person if they're guided down the correct path in life, but that is easier said than done, as that path is not labeled, nor clear.
And so that's my stance. I believe anyone can become a good person, regardless of their nature, but that can be very, very difficult due to circumstances.
Anyway, enough with that, onto the fic.
It's been an…strange week for Eri.
First was the interview that revealed her back story to the world.
Now, Izuku had already told her that people would treat her differently after he told them this. Not badly, if anything they'd likely be nicer to her.
She didn't fully understand what that meant, and thus didn't know what to expect, but she was hopeful.
Although she didn't really know what to think about results.
Class 1A universally started looking at her with pity, even the more stoic members like Todoroki and Shinso. And they all started treating her like she was made of glass. Giving her a bit more attention and speaking more kindly to her.
And Toru just straight broke down sobbing while hugging her, repeating "I'm sorry over and over again."
Her family also all seemed to change the way they looked at her.
Some not so much. Kei just gave her a pat on the back and said everything was going to be alright, and nothing else. Fu did something similar, patting her on the head and praising her mental fortitude. And Netsu burst into her room and said she was awesome for not letting all that keep her down.
Some started acting a bit more like 1A. Nara and Shiruku kept giving her those pitying looks, and the latter even gave her a nice dress with a note saying that it was a gift for "surviving".
Mu even showed his face to her for the first time, asking her if it was true, before giving her a very, very brief hug, and then disappearing.
Then there were Fuku, who tried to invite her to a tea party with some sweets she made herself, but in the end, Fuku just burst into tears and kept apologizing for thinking that she and Eri went through the same thing when Eri's experience was clearly worse. And Eri ended up having to comfort her.
The same thing happened with Kai, who was just overwhelmed with grief for what happened to his big sister, getting his massive tears everywhere. It was a messy situation.
Even more messy was Kiba's response to the situation.
Kiba was just, absolutely enraged when she heard about what happened to her. And she did what she normally did when she got angry.
Brutalize Fu.
In this case, she decided to stream herself, destroying Fu and horrible and creative ways, for almost an hour. Threatening to do the same thing to anyone who tried harm even a hair on Eri's head.
She then afterward, proudly showed Eri the comments on that video, and Eri honestly wasn't sure what to think.
On the one hand, seeing tens of thousands of people all willing to defend her and wishing her well, was very heartwarming.
But on the other hand, seeing tens of thousands of people angrily threatening to commit violent murder against anyone who even looked at her funny, made her a bit uneasy.
Eri disliked Overhaul as much as anyone(well not as much as these people apparently) especially after realizing how unnecessary and spiteful his method of taking blood was. But she didn't like the idea of him getting horribly murdered by an of people.
And lastly, Eri was pretty sure Ken was avoiding her. She didn't know why exactly, but whenever she entered a room Ken was in, Ken left, so that was the only conclusion she could come to.
Overall, she didn't really know how to feel about all this. It was nice to see how much everyone cared for her but it was all a bit…much.
She didn't have much time to think about it though, because then the house got attacked.
Well not really. As it turns out the cat lady that was "attacking them" and destroying all the Grimm was just here to ask for a job.
But Eri didn't know this at the time, and it terrified her. Being stuck in the practice room with all of her siblings most of whom were also nervous and afraid while Izuku was out there seemingly in potential danger, was one of the worst experiences of her life since she'd come into Izuku's care.
And so when Izuku did in fact, end up hiring her, Eri was a bit conflicted at first, but quickly came out feeling positive about the whole thing.
Sure she had scared them and given her an unpleasant experience, but she hadn't meant to. And in the end, the only people that got hurt were the cat woman herself, and a lot of Grimm but they weren't really living beings anyway.
Eri decided instead of focusing on that, she would focus on the fact that they now had a very strong cat lady protecting them. So that was neat.
Even neater was that the shock of the incident took attention away from Eri. People still viewed Eri differently now, and would likely continue to view her differently, but the house was no longer focused on pitying Eri anymore.
Although Ken was still avoiding her, much to her chagrin.
But she didn't have much time to deal with that before Kioku apparently had a breakdown.
So now she was going to deal with that. Because Eri was a good sister.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
After waking up next to her father in the morning, Kioku quickly went back to her own room, eating her breakfast there too, as she wanted to think for a while.
And after being alone with her thoughts for a while, Kioku started asking herself questions about her life, namely, what next?
She obviously could just wait and see what the therapist said. But who knows how long it would be until she got to see one, and she wanted something to change NOW.
Kioku didn't like being the way she was, and in order to change herself, she needed to make some kind of change to how she lived, or how she viewed the world or something.
Eventually, there was a knock on the door, and a familiar voice came sounded. "Kioku? Can I come in?"
Having been alone with her complicated thoughts, asking questions she didn't have the answer to, she was more than happy to let Eri come in.
She quickly made her way over to the door and opened it up, revealing Eri and Yami on the other side.
"Oh, it's you." Kioku scowled at the pale boy. Izuku told her about Yami and Yonda's machinations, and she was NOT pleased, to say the least.
Yami gave her an apologetic bow. "Sorry I performed psycho experiments on you. I just wanted to understand you. Help you."
Kioku pouted heavily, crossing her arms and giving Yami a light glare. On one hand, the events of yesterday had been pretty horrid. But on the other, Yami did only intend to help her become a more positive person, which she did really want.
After taking a second to think it over, she huffed. "Fine, I'll forgive you. But you better not do anything like that ever again! Got it!?"
"Hmm." Yami nodded.
Eri then came in and opened her arms. "Is it ok if I-"
Before she could even finish the question, Kioku nearly launched herself at her and wrapped her own arms around the horned girl. "Yes please."
Eri had been taken off guard for a second, but quickly reciprocated the hug.
Kioku took in Eri's affection. Drinking it up like a person would water after nearly dying of thirst.
The two stayed like this for a while, like a really long while. A bit longer than Eri was prepared for but she didn't know how to ask to disengage from it so she just continued on awkwardly, wondering when it was going to stop.
Eventually, Kioku figured out that she'd been hugging her for too long, and did finally let go.
"I love you, sis." Kioku told her, hoping desperately to hear it back.
"I-I love you too." Eri was a bit taken off guard by how affectionate she was being, but quickly deduced it was likely because of yesterday's events. "Are you ok?"
"...I don't know." Kioku frowned.
"Want to talk about it?" Yami asked.
Normally Kioku didn't really like talking about her deeply personal feelings, but maybe that was part of her problem.
"Ok." Kioku sighed, as she got ready to explain.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"So, you want to change something about yourself, but you don't know what." Eri summarized after hearing Kioku's ordeal.
"I know daddy said he would help me, but he has so much to do." Kioku sighed. "I want to do, something by myself. But I can't think of anything!
"Find goal," Yami said simply.
"Huh?" Kioku gave him a confused look, that begged him to elaborate.
"Find goal. Work for goal." Yami told her. "Working for goal. Makes you feel good. Like doing something with life."
"I think I understand," Eri said. "When I do something that makes it feel like I'm improving, I feel…good. Like when I do something I think is scary to get better at doing things like that. Or when I learn about medicine and bodies so I can become a doctor. It makes me feel like…I exist for a reason."
"Me too." Yami nodded. "Like existing for a reason."
"..A goal." Kioku repeated to herself.
She of course wanted to take this advice. After all, it was AN idea, which was more than what she had.
But then that posed the question, what would her goal be?
Would it be some kind of self-improvement? Should it be job-focused? Should it be something simpler?
Eri and Yami could see the struggle on Kioku's face, and could practically hear the gears turning in her head, as she tried to figure out the answer to her question.
"Why not learn to help dad?" Yami asked.
Kioku's eyes widened. "Huh?"
"Dad has lots of work. Hard to do. Takes lots of time. You said you want help him." Yami explained. "Why not learn how to do paperwork, and stuff. So dad has less work."
"That's…that's a great idea!" Kioku shouted excitedly, her eyes lighting up.
The more she thought about it, the more the idea of becoming Izuku's assistant excited her. She'd not only get to help Izuku out and give him more to relax, but she'd get to spend WAY more time with him as well!
It was perfect!
Despite only having a goal for less than a minute, the future already felt brighter, and Kioku felt energized.
Immediately she gave Eri another hug. "Thanks, sis!"
Kioku jumped off the bed and was about to go to Izuku, but she stopped as she reached for the doorknob, when she realized she forgot something.
She turned to Yami, and gave him a thumbs-up, before running out of the room.
Yami smiled a bit. It wasn't the same thank you Eri had gotten, but it was enough to let him know that he helped.
And that was all he really needed. In fact, he didn't even really need that.
Yami's reward was watching the negativity in a person disperse, and positivity overtakes it.
Because being kind, was its own reward.
XXXXXXXXX
Izuku was trying his hardest to keep it together.
Because right now he had to try and be as professional as possible while having a video conference with Star and Stripe, and her younger sister Chole.
At this point, after being around All Might as much as he was, you'd think he wouldn't be as overexcited to meet Star and Stripe, especially over a video call. But for some reason, the unexpectedness of it all, and the fact that Star was an international hero, made him giddy inside.
But, he had to be serious. As he assumed this was important.
Chole Bate was not nearly as flashy as her sister, nor as…All Might looking was the only way Izuku could describe it. She looked like any ordinary businesswoman, her blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, and her suit neat and tidy. If you took one look at her you wouldn't think she was the younger sister of the strongest woman in the world.
"So you must be Izuku Midoirya." Star said, taking a good look at him through the camera. "You really are just a 15-year-old boy."
"Cassy!" Chole scolded her sister. "He's not JUST a 15-year-old boy. He's a 15-year-old boy who is the head of a foundation that helps children in need. A foundation we are currently asking for help. Show a little respect."
"Right! Right! Sorry! Heh heh." Star laughed. "My apologies Midoriya! I'm not the most formal person in the world so forgive me if I seem a bit rude! Just know that I mean no disrespect! I greatly admire your work, and the effort you put into helping those children!"
"I-It's no issue!" Izuku stuttered. Trying not to get riled up at being complimented by America's number 1 hero. "I'm not someone who cares about things like that."
"Then we should get along swimmingly!" Star bellowed. "Now, onto the reason, we're here. How much did All Might tell you exactly?"
"He told me that Star and Stripe asking my assistance, involving her sister potentially working here," Izuku said. "He said I should get more details from the two of you, and gave me the information needed to set up this call."
"I see. That's probably for the best." Chole said. "This way we won't have any misconceptions to deal with."
"Right. Now, as you can tell, I am rather confused about why you would want to stop working as head of Star's agency, to go to Japan, and work for me specifically." Izuku told them.
"Of course. Anyone would be confused after hearing that, but I promise you it will all make sense when I explain the situation." Chole assured him. Her voice was very professional, unlike her sister's, in fact, she just to be the opposite of Star in many regards.
"Alright, please do," Izuku told them.
Chole took a deep breath, getting all the facts straight in her head, before laying them out for Izuku. "So this all started a few months ago. When he finally discovered my daughter, Alice's quirk. Destiny Dictation."
Izuku wanted to shake the hand of whoever named that quirk. It was a powerful name, for what Izuku could only assume was a powerful quirk.
"It's a rather complicated quirk, which is why it took us so long to figure out it existed and how it works, but I will try to explain it in the most comprehensive way possible," Chole said. "The easiest way to explain would be to give an example. Let's say Alice writes down that at 2:00, you will brush your teeth. Then, at 2:00, you will be very strongly compelled, not quite forced but very nearly so, to brush your teeth. It doesn't matter if you already did so unless you have a strong desire not to do so, you will brush your teeth, at exactly 2:00."
"So…it's a quirk that allows her to force others to do things that's she's written that they'll do," Izuku said, trying to wrap his head around it. "So she really is a sense, dictating destiny. That's…a very powerful quirk."
"Yes, but there are limitations," Chole told him. "Firstly, she has to put in a time. Secondly, she can only influence a person's actions for about an hour a day. Essentially speaking, once she puts in a time, every event she writes has to take place within the hour after time she set, otherwise, it won't have any effect. Unless of course, she does something within that hour that will affect you after the hour is up. Let's say that you start cooking something, but it takes over an hour. She can't make you keep cooking it after the hour is up, but you're likely going to continue doing that anyway. Third, she has to know the full name of the person she's trying to influence, and the person she's trying to influence has to accept that that is their name. Let's say someone's legal name is Barbra, but the person doesn't identify themselves by that name and goes by Serah. If Alice writes down Baraba. It won't have any effect. Fourth, as I said, her quirk strongly influences people to do what's she's written. But it can't necessarily force them. It's not quite mind control. She can't force you to do anything you're TOO strongly against. For most people, she can't force them to take their own lives or set themselves on fire. The person will still feel influenced to do that, but they likely will just shake it off. Also if you know you're being influenced by Alice's quirk, you can very easily refute it. Fifth is that she can't force you to do anything physically impossible, although she can make you try. And sixth is contradiction. Essentially, if what happens strays away from what she's written, her quirk is nullified. Let's say that she wrote that someone will go into a store, buy bread, leave and then go buy shoes. If the store that person goes into has no bread, then they won't be able to do what Alice wrote, and the rest of what she wrote will be nullified. Meaning they won't have to go and buy shoes."
"I see." Izuku took that all in, formulating theories and questions in his mind. "How specific or vague can these scenarios be?"
"As much as she wants. Although the vaguer she is, the harder it is for her to know exactly what's going to happen. And the more specific she is, the more easily an outside influence can interfere and nullify her quirk's effect." Chole explained.
It was a quirk that had a lot of limitations. Strict ones too. Ones that could make the quirk useless if it were used improperly, or if she just got unlucky.
But those limitations were almost nothing compared to the possibilities.
She could make depressed people end their lives. She could make villains rob a specific bank, and allow the heroes to know exactly where they were going to be and when. She could make someone humiliate themselves, or ruin their whole lives. If she was dedicated enough she could influence a person's thoughts daily, and condition them to the point where either it was easier to control them, or to the point where she didn't need to use her quirk at all.
And all of this without any risk to herself. Heck, it's more than likely the victims wouldn't even know Alice was ever involved.
Of course, the most impressive things Alice could do with her quirk would require resources. Namely information about people's names, and possible factors that could nullify her quirk. And if she had those she could subtly change the world on an unimaginable scale.
"As you can see, my daughter has a…powerful quirk to say the least." Chole sighed. "She'd definitely be considered…what were they called again? O.P.C.'s? Yes! O.P.C.'s. My apologies we don't have a system for overly powerful Children in America, so I'm unfamiliar with the terms. Although we likely should have something in place like what you have with your foundation."
"I'm working on it!" Star said. "Ever since I heard about your foundation I've been pushing to get something similar over here in the States! It's been a bit difficult, but I think I'm making progress!"
"Right. But back to the topic at hand. As you probably know by now. When there are powerful quirks. There are people who want to use them. People may not have the best intentions, but they do have lots of influence." Chole explained, her face and tone dead serious, but Izuku could see a hint of nervousness. "As you know, Star's agency works closely with the American government, and as head secretary, that means I also work closely with the American government. And ever since Alice got her quirk, they've been acting differently. They started contacting me less, and when they do contact me they act far too nice. Not to mention they've been being even more lenient with Star and her agency. The moment that started, I knew they wanted Alice. So I managed to scrape together many of my contacts and resources, and I figured out exactly what they intended to do with Alice, and what they planned to do if I wasn't being cooperative. Needless to say, I can't allow it."
"Right. They plan to take away her future, and force her to do what's best for them, not her." Izuku summarized angrily. He wasn't surprised by any means. But he sure as hell was upset about this situation. "That's unacceptable."
"Problem is, this isn't a situation I can easily get out of," Chole explained. "The government is willing to do, a lot to ensure that Alice is under their control, and given the amount of power and influence they have in the country, it's evident I can't stay in America any longer."
Star sighed with dismay. Looking very distraught at that statement, and Izuku couldn't blame her. Her sister was essentially being forced out of the country, otherwise, her niece's freedom would be at risk. Izuku couldn't imagine how frustrating that must be, especially because the people doing this were the same ones she'd served for so long, and done so much for.
"But the issue with going to other counties is I have no guarantee that they won't try to do something similar." Chole continued. "Having very few options, I called Star to see if we could brainstorm ideas for how to get out of this situation."
"And so when faced with this perilous situation, I knew there was only one man to call!" Star said dramatically. "All Might! I told him about our situation, he advised working for you. After all, you have enough power and leverage to hold back the Japanese Government, if they try to do anything too heavy-handed with Alice. Not to mention you live in a highly secure facility that should protect her from kidnapping, and there are a bunch of other children with super-powered quirks, so she won't be treated too differently!"
"I see." Izuku thought over it for a minute, before looking at the camera with a look of pure determination. "Alright, you're hired."
"Just like that?" Chole asked, only sounding slightly surprised. "No interview, or screenings or anything?"
"Even if you couldn't perform well as a secretary, which I doubt considering your history, I'd be able to find something for you to do," Izuku told her. "But really, the number 1 heroes of both Japan and America, have asked to aid someone in desperate need of help. I'd never be able to live with myself if I turned you away."
"Ahahah! See sis! I told you calling All Might was the right idea!" Star laughed. "Even if he can't punch the problem away, he knows good people!"
"I suppose your right." The relife in Chole's voice and on her face was very evident. It looked like the world had just been lifted off her shoulders. Even though they weren't necessary in the clear quite yet, it was good that they had a concrete plan in place. "Thank you. Just..thank you so much."
"Your welcome. But there is something I need to tell you." Izuku said. "Currently there is an unknown group that has been trying to kill me for the past month. They seem to be solely focused on me rather than the kids, but I can't guarantee that they won't try to harm them. I've been greatly increasing the security of the house, and I've been in talks with I-Island about using their technology to increase it even more, although that will take a while. We've yet to have any real leads on the group's identity, other than they're quirk supremacist. I doubt your daughter would be in any real danger, as, and I am loath to say this, if they somehow got past my extensive security then the children would likey take down any attackers they send, while also protecting her from any harm. That being said, I felt like you deserved to know this information."
"Ah damn it there's always a catch," Star said letting out a frustrated sigh.
"I see…well we don't really have any other options. So that doesn't change our decision." Chole said.
"Alright, but, in light of that, I will need you and Alice to undergo mental probing before you arrive." Izuku felt a twinge of guilt immediately after saying that. "I'm deeply sorry about having to ask that of you, and even more so for asking that of your daughter. But…"
"Given her quirk, it's necessary." Chole gave a sigh of acceptance.
"Well, it's not just her quirk. Your own quirk is very dangerous in its own right." Izuku pointed out.
Chole's quirk was called Absolute Authority. If she called out the name of someone, she could force them to do whatever she tells them. The only drawbacks was that the person needed to hear her words, and much like her daughter, she needed to know the person's name.
It wasn't as powerful as her sister's quirk, but unlike Star, she didn't need to touch anything for her quirk to work.
"And given that A: People are actively trying to kill me, and B: I have to protect the children at all cost, I can't ignore a potential risk," Izuku told them with a guilty expression. "Once I sincerely apologize-"
"That's unnecessary," Chole reassured him. "If anything it's reassuring to see how protective you are. It makes me feel more confident in this plan."
"I never saw the issue with mental probes. If you've got nothing to hide then what's the problem?" Star asked nonchalantly.
Chole let out a long-suffering sigh. "We are not having this conversation right now."
"Alright, how much does Alice know about the situation?" Izuku asked.
"Currently, not much. But I plan on telling her soon. Things are going to get very complicated, and a lot of things are going to change. So it'll be important for her to understand the steaks." Chole said.
"I agree." Izuku nodded, before turning to Star. "Star and Stripes-"
"Just call me Cassy! After all, you're helping us out this much, it would be rude to make you refer to me by my hero name." Star told him.
"Uh, o-ok. C-C-C-Ca-Cassy." Izuku stutted, her face turning red from emmbaressement. "Please stay with her until she gets here. They're going to get desperate to get Alice at any cost, especially when they learn about her leaving the country."
"Right, finally time to take those days off," Star replied.
"We also should move as quickly as possible. The more time we give them, the more anxious they get and the more time they have to plan and pool together their resources." Izuku said. "When should I expect you here?"
"A few weeks is the soonest I can come." Chole estimated.
"Right, I'll see you then," Izuku told them. "Please, be careful."
"I will but…Midoriya, I know I've asked a lot of you, but…please promise me that if anything happens to me, you'll take care of Alice." Chole asked, almost begging.
"Don't say that!" Izuku and Star said at the same time.
"You're going to get here safe, and you and Alice will be able to live in peace…relative peace," Izuku said.
"That's right! As your older sister, I refuse to let you think such stupid things!" Star told her.
"Right but, I'm just being cautious." Chole once again gave him a desperate look. "If something happens to me, Cass I need you to promise me you'll get Alice to Japan. And Midoriya, please, please promise me you'll take care of her in my stead…I'm begging you."
Izuku looked into her eyes, and he saw the desperation of a mother, worried for her child's safety.
"I…I promise. I will take care of her. You have my word." Izuku told her.
"Thank you." Chole let out another sigh of relief. "Sis?"
Star looked away from the camera. "Your both getting to Japan safely. End of story!"
"Sis-" Chole let out another sigh, but this one was more disappointed than relieved.
"End of discussion!" Star then put her hand on the computer. "This computer will shut off."
And with that, she left the call.
"Did…did she just…" Izuku was in disbelief.
"Use her quirk to turn the computer off instead of just turning it off normally. Yes. Yes, she does that. She does that a lot." Chole sighed. "She's so stubborn. Thankfully I don't need to worry about her making that promise all that much. If something happened to me, I know for a fact she would make sure Alice got to you…before she immediately goes back to the states, and does something stupid. My big sister is such a handful."
"Well um…maybe so. But at least you can say, my sister has saved thousands of lives, that's something." Izuku tried to cheer her up.
Chole gave a brief chuckle before a fond smile grew on her face. "Yeah, I can…Thank you Midoriya. For everything. I look forward to working with you."
"I feel the same," Izuku said to her, giving her a kind smile. "See you soon and good luck."
Chole then ended the call. Leaving Izuku alone in his office.
He sank back in his chair, letting go of the tension he'd been holding onto the entire conversation.
Less than a year ago, he was a nobody who people deemed as so worthless that his nickname was Deku.
Now he was the head of a super-rich foundation, with so many children relying on him for help, and All Might contacted him to tell him that Star and Stripes and her sister needed HIS help.
It was mind-boggling, to say the least.
But he didn't get much time to process it, because suddenly Kioku ran into his office excitedly.
"Kioku your supposed to knock." Izuku halfheartedly scolded her, mostly because he was just out of energy.
"Daddy I know what I want to work towards!" Kioku said a rush of pure excitement as she ran up to him and held up her arms.
"Oh?" Izuku lifted her up on his lap. Curious about what this was about.
"I want to be your assistant!" Kioku told him with a sparkle in her eye that Izuku rarely saw. "I want to learn how to do all that paperwork stuff, so you don't have to work as hard! And I can spend more time with you!"
Izuku felt his heart clench, and his face scrunched up.
"Daddy you're making the scrunchy face again!" Kioku gasped. "That means your happy right."
"Yes, sweetie. I'm very happy." Izuku said, trying to recover from the shot of wholesomeness he just got.
After getting over how cute she was, and happy that made him, he gave her a pat on the head. "Alright Kioku, you want to help me with paperwork? It's gonna take a lot of learning, and it's not very interesting work."
"I don't mind! I'll be the best assistant in the whole world!" Kioku swore, in a fashion that Izuku found absolutely adorable.
"Ok, well then, why don't you go play for now. And tomorrow I'll have a lesson planned for you, ok?" Izuku told her.
Kioku frowned. "We can't do it right now?"
"If you rush things, then there's a good chance you may not do it right. You have to take your time, and be patient." Izuku told her, before setting her down. "Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to learn, ok?"
"Ok." Kioku nodded.
"Good. Now go play, I'm sure Eri and Kei would love to spend some time with you today." Izuku told her.
"Alright, daddy. I love you." Kioku said.
Izuku smiled at her. "I love you too."
Alright so firstly, the Kioku arc is officially done! Yay!
Secondly, we're gonna get into the part of the story where Izuku starts employing more and more people.
Alright, now let's talk about the big thing.
Alice.
So yeah her quirk is pretty busted. It has a lot of limitations and weaknesses but if used correctly it can do some stupid stuff.
Now I could write four more pages explaining how her quirk works in excruciating detail. But instead, I think it'll be better to just wait for you guys to ask the questions, and then answer them at the beginning of the next chapter.
So, if you have any questions about how her quirk works, or if you wanna leave your thoughts, please put them in the reviews and have a nice day.
