bopdog111: Things ended up bad, and that be an understatement.
Ulrich362: Definitely, it's a good thing Tsunagu Hakamada AKA Best Jeanist arrived when he did or Bakugo may have very well killed Tetsuo mere minutes after his awakening. And speaking of, Theseus huh... quite the interesting Persona.
bopdog111: For you guys to know, he is a legendary Greek Warrior. A bit fitting considering the Greek Mythology Goddess of Night acted in P3.
Ulrich362: Very true, of course right now Tetsuo is in need of medical attention and is going to have quite the surprise when he wakes up. As for Bakugo though... what's going to happen to him? I can't speak for you Bopdog but I think the problem was definitely Aldera Middle School and it needs to be resolved quickly.
bopdog111: Of course Aldera is the issue. We shall let what happens here answer that question. For now Izuku is in for a meeting with the three 3 Persona teams.
Ulrich362: True, so let's see what happens. Enjoy the chapter.

"Thanks." the nurse nodded exiting the hospital room while Best Jeanist walked back over to the bed where Tetsuo laid.
Thankfully from what Tetsuo seemed to have gone through, he had not suffered a concussion just some severe brain trauma from the effects of whatever the hell had happened during the fighting. Izuku is sitting on a chair beside the bed just silently watching Tetsuo with a vital sign beeping showing Tetsuo is fighting now to survive. Although neither of them know what kind of Quirk it was he had awakened too, they hoped that Tetsuo's moms are able to answer it when they arrive.
"His friends and family are on the way, now I'm going to ask just one more time... what happened?" After looking over Tetsuo's body he turned and asked Izuku. "I couldn't find any injuries on those two who were out cold."
"I don't know. I mean he was labeled as Quirkless, and then when he stood up against Kacchan, and his friends he suddenly awakened a quirk after he made it clear that he isn't gonna stand around to let them do whatever they wanted to me, and next up after it appeared he took them out with some sort of light attack that seemed to knock them unconscious which is probably the work of a sentient Quirk that can channel light to create after effects on the psyche of whoever he uses it on while also being a weakpoint as when attacked it seemed to effect his mind so it seems to be a mental/sentient Quirk which are really unheard of, and I don't seem to recall it being such a thing as-"
"Kid?"
"Yeah?" Izuku was knocked from his rumbling looking up at the hero having a raise eyebrow. Izuku then froze looking embarrassed. "U-Uh sorry I ramble, it happens a lot."
"It's fine, but I get the general idea." Frowning Tsunagu closed his eyes. "Hopefully when his family and friends show up they can shed some light on what happened... so to speak."
He glanced over at the still unconscious Tetsuo only to frown.
'Even a powerful quirk can be incredibly dangerous if it leads to mental strain or damage... it might be best if he doesn't use that quirk anymore.'
Eventually after a minute the door was knocked as Tsunagu turned over. "It's unlocked Mitsuru."
The door opened as Fuuka ran in before taking Tetsuo's hand. "Oh, my baby boy!"
Izuku looked surprised seeing her getting some nostalgia from this as Tsunagu stepped beside her. "He'll be alright Fuuka. The doctor said he suffered severe brain trauma from what happened after his Quirk awakened but thankfully no concussions had happened."
"He didn't awaken to a quirk." Mitsuru mentioned walking in along with several other people most of them Tsunagu had only met briefly and none of them Izuku had ever seen since none of them were heroes.
"Ah!" Izuku quickly stood up recognizing Mitsuru Kirijo stunned to see someone like her in person. "Y-Y-Your M-M-Miss M-Mitsuru K-K-K-Kirijo, CEO of the Kirijo Group!"
Hearing that she turned to him. "That's right, and you are..."
"He's Izuku Midoriya." Fuuka answered not looking away from her adopted son. "The quirkless student who was being bullied."
"I see." Mitsuru nodded at that. "And you were the one to call the ambulance for Tetsuo?"
Izuku looked surprised from hearing Fuuka knows his name, and that other part but nodded. "Y-Yes, I did... B-Best Jeanist had gotten there, and I called the ambulance... O-Of course, you shouldn't worry, I'm only Quirkless, and K-Kacchan wanted to put me in my place is all, I am just causing everyone trouble."
"Being quirkless isn't an excuse to be bullied." mentioned a young boy with brown hair as he pet an old white shiba-inu.
"W-Well, I'm pretty sure that Kacchan had a good reason to encourage me is all, I mean he is worried about me even if I don't have a Quirk, and-" Everyone can just see Izuku is defending his bully from whatever kind of thing is going on from this attack.
"I'm having a hard time believing he's the guy the Principal told you two about." Akihiko is right to be suspicious about this. "Kid looks like he can't hurt anything."
"That's because he obviously isn't." mentioned a girl with long orange hair and glasses as she frowned. "He's quirkless and if what Mitsuru told us is right the entire school treats this Kacchan guy like he's some kind of god... I mean, the next All Might? Not likely."
Tsunagu then recalled something he heard turning to Mitsuru. "Hang on a second Mitsuru, what do you mean when you said your son hasn't awakened a Quirk?"
"I mean exactly what I said, Tetsuo doesn't have a quirk." Mitsuru answered closing her eyes. "What he awoke to is something very different."
"Something different then a Quirk?" Izuku looked stunned to hear that there is a power that isn't a type of Quirk which he never heard of.
"It isn't just that Mitsuru-san." added a silver-haired young man as he looked over at Tetsuo. "If what you told us is true and he met him... there's a good chance this is just the start."
Mitsuru just nodded at that. "Exactly, the Wildcard."
"It must've been what he wanted to tell us when he gets off of school." Labrys suggested over.
"He was definitely excited." Aigis recalled how he was so happy to tell them something after school. "If he did meet him, and possesses that power..."
"It's just like her." a man wearing a baseball cap and a necklace designed like a dagger mentioned thoughtfully.
A brown jacket toboggan man frowned from the reminder at this.
"U-Uh..."
They looked over towards Izuku who looked sheepish raising his hand. "Uh sorry but... What exactly was it Kirijo-san awakened too?"
"The power of his heart." Fuuka answered without looking away from Tetsuo only to gasp seeing something. "Can you hear me, Tetsuo Mamagishi is right here."
Hearing that they all looked to see Tetsuo's eyes were slowly opening.
"Ugh... My head..." Tetsuo let out some groans trying to sit up which Fuuka, and Mitsuru helped him. He rubbed his head feeling super groggy from the medication he took or the aftereffects of some Quirks. "Oh God... Where am I?"
"You're in the hospital, don't force yourself." mentioned a blonde young man standing against the wall of the room. "Trust me, it's exhausting enough when you don't get blown up."
Tetsuo slowly opened his eyes seeing two blurs in front of him as he tries to focus his vision. "Ah... My vision is blurry..."
"Don't rush it, you awoke earlier today and suffered a great deal of trauma." one of the blurs told him as he recognized Mitsuru's voice. "Do you think you can answer a few questions?"
"I... I think so..." Tetsuo rubbed his head still groaning.
"You met him, didn't you? Igor?" Mitsuru inquired as Fuuka gently held Tetsuo's hand.
"I... gor..." Tetsuo rubbed his head again. Soon be remembered the answer. "Ugh, yeah... Yeah I meet Igor."
Mitsuru frowned before putting her hand on his forehead as it started to feel cool. She can feel heat from it but he sighed closing his eyes pleasantly feeling her hand.
"Get some rest, we'll talk about this when you wake up." Mitsuru whispered gently kissing his forehead.
"Is... Is Midoriya-san... Okay...?" While slowly drifting unconscious he mustered as much strength he has to ask that question.
"He's fine." Fuuka reassured her son. "You kept him safe."
Tetsuo gave a small weak smile before he's slowly laid back down back to dreamland. Mitsuru frowned before turning to the others. "Tsunagu... gather as many Pro Heroes as possible. I think this is something you all need to hear."
"Already had my closet colleagues being contacted by my agency." Tsunagu figures what Mitsuru has in mind. "It be good working with you again Mitsuru."
"It's been a long time." Mitsuru smiled before pausing as she turned to Izuku. "Normally a civilian wouldn't be privy to this level of secrecy but given you were an eyewitness and you helped my son I'll make an exception and allow you to join the meeting. Just try not to get overwhelmed by everyone you'll see."
"U-Uh, y-yes ma'am!" Izuku does look a bit nervous from this bowing. "I'm really honored t-to be a part of a m-m-meeting with you M-Miss Kirijo!"
Nodding at that Mitsuru turned to Aigis. "Let Kikuno know that we'll be expecting several guests... and to prepare a special cup of tea for Nezu."
"What kind does he like, I can brew it for him?" an auburn hair girl asked curiously over. "Anything isn't too hard for me to replicate unless it's something I never heard of before."
"Oh yeah, your quirk makes tea doesn't it Haru?" inquired a blonde girl. "You usually make it the old fashioned way so I sometimes forget that about you."
"It's alright Ann-chan." the auburn haired girl, Haru, smiled warmly. "I enjoy making tea to help everyone relax."
"I think we'll all need some." Akihiko frowned as he looked at Tetsuo again. "Hopefully if he's involved this isn't going to be like what we went through."
"Huh your Quirk can make tea leaves?" Izuku looked stunned before suddenly pulling out a notebook looking excited. "That sounds so cool, how do you do it, is there a limit to how much you can do, or are you able to change it into new brands!?" He looks more confident upon the mention what Haru's Quirk can do which surprises everyone.
"Um... well I need to know the type of tea I'm trying to create so it helps if I've tried it before... and different kinds of leaves are can sometimes have subtle differences in flavor... it's not a particularly powerful quirk." Haru answered a bit awkwardly as everyone stared at Izuku before the silver-haired young man closed his own eyes.
"We should head back to Mitsuru-san's estate, do you think Tetsuo can get some rest in his room now?"
"Once we discharge him." Mitsuru nodded over.
Izuku seeing everyone looking at him looked embarrassed looking down. "Uh sorry... I just... like to study Quirks."
The group all nodded exchanging a glace from this before Tsunagu blinked noticing something, and turned over tapping Mitsuru's shoulder. "Mitsuru a moment?"
Pausing at that she turned to him. "Yes?"
He gestured her to follow him as they walked out of the room together as Tsunagu turned over crossing his arms. "I had some doubts about that boy Izuku Midoriya since he asked about Okumura-san's Quirk... but after seeing something on his notebook, I can be sure that some sabotaging is going on involving him at his school."
"What did you find?"
"It's the title of the book. 'Hero Analysis For The Future' Volume 12." Tsunagu is giving his suspicions over Izuku to her. "He also knows about one of my battles in specific detail after I came in to rescue your son. I figure that, and the notebook his school might be sabotaging his performance."
Mitsuru's expression darkened as she nodded in agreement. "It wouldn't surprise me, Aldera is clearly very biased against quirkless students and praising powerful quirks to the point they're ignoring the law. It may be wise to address that matter during our meeting with the others."
She also recalled that Mura-sensei who is apparently Tetsuo, and Izuku's homeroom teacher mentioned something.
"He is always muttering so much it's creepy, and he keeps trying to get Bakugo-kun in trouble. In some ways he hurts himself, and tries to report it over to where Bakugo-kun done it but we already know that he is just trying to pin the blame on Bakugo-kun when he clearly hasn't done such a thing. He also tries to say he's been bullied a lot but we already know he is only trying to get attention, and that he also wants to go to U.A. despite being Quirkless. He tries to be a hero he's mincemeat."
Frowning she closed her eyes at that memory only to pause. "Perhaps, we should invite them to the meeting as well."
Tsunagu nodded before noticing something turning. "Looks like we have company."
Hearing that Mitsuru turned to see who it was. It was one of the doctors along with a short plumb nurse having green hair in a ponytail. Seeing Mitsuru, the doctor softly smiled. "Evening Kirijo-san. I was informed of your son's Persona awakening?"
"Yes." Mitsuru nodded allowing a proud smile to appear. "I had a strong feeling he had the potential and this confirmed it… however there was an incident as well. One that needs to be addressed at its source."
"Well I trust you can handle it. And I am guessing you want to discharge him right now?" the doctor asked. When she nodded he smiled over. "Well he's clear to move back to your home. Just make sure he rests since his mental state took quite a toll. Oh by the way..." He turned over to the nurse with a smile. "This is the mother of the boy, your son helped. Inko Midoriya. She works here."
"Pleased to meet you." Inko bowed softly before apologizing. "I'm so sorry this had to happen."
"It's fine, your son helped mine quite a bit." Mitsuru told Inko calmly before pausing. "Forgive my rudeness, but is your son frequently injured after school?"
Inko looked up to her before she sighed with closed eyes. "I've known about it for a while... it started at the beginning of his time at Aldera after people found out he was Quirkless. He tries to hide it, and tells me he was being clumsy." She starts crying. "He, and Katsuki were best friends since they were younger but it changed when there Quirk Examinations happened, and he kept telling me he wasn't hurting him. I knew that school was doing something but... whenever I try I was always brushed off." She rubbed her eyes with her sleeve.
Mitsuru blinked. "They were best friends?"
"Yes... Me, and Katsuki's mother Mitsuki were close together since Middle School, and we stick together close. We're hoping that our sons will get along just as well, and they wanted to grow up as a superhero duo... but when he had his Quirk, and Izuku was labeled as Quirkless it changed..." Inko started crying again. "Katsuki wouldn't come over anymore... and at times I find Izuku's uniform burned, and the smell of smoke... I knew he was doing something but Izuku told me not to worry... I doubt that Mitsuki knows."
Inko covered her face with her hands sobbing loudly.
Mitsuru frowned at that before putting a hand on Inko's shoulder. "I promise things will work out. In fact why don't you come with us. I have a feeling you'll be able to contribute to our… conversations."
Inko slowly looked with an opened eye still having tears. "Hm?"
"Indeed, I figure if we have you on our side we can uncover the truth that Aldera is doing." Tsunagu voiced over towards her. "When I came in, Bakugo had burned Izuku's leg to keep him from running so maybe your word can be useful for us."
Inko sniffed before wiping her eyes suddenly looking determined with the stare of a mama bear Mitsuru had seen Fuuka have numerous times in there marriage. "If it'll help my baby, I'll do anything."
Mitsuru smiled offering her hand. "Shall we?"
Inko nodded taking her hand just before the teams exited with Izuku (his leg having been healed from the doctors) while Fuuka was holding Tetsuo in her arms only for the nurse to notice her son. "Izuku!"
"Huh mom?" Izuku looked surprised before Inko pulled her son in a tight embrace.
"Why didn't you tell me it was this bad?" Inko pulled back crying over to Izuku. "That Katsuki had been terrorizing you?"
Izuku widen his eyes before trying to play off. "N-No mom, he wasn't terrorizing me, I was just being clumsy, and-" Inko promptly cut him off however.
"Izuku, this time it lead to Mitsuru's son being hospitalized." Inko pointed out over to him which made him stop looking guilty. "Izuku please... tell me everything. The clumsy excuse will only work so many times, and we had to buy a tailor to fix your uniform so much it's ridiculous."
Oh, so she does know the truth, and Izuku wasn't as sneaky as he thought. From how this situation is going, Tetsuo who tried to defend him from Kacchan, gotten placed in Emergency Care for a apparent non-Quirk, and now Inko isn't going to buy one of his excuses anymore as he went too far this time. Still he looked down saying over to her. "I just didn't want to be a burden to you..."
Inko started crying pulling him into a hug. "Oh Izuku, your never a burden to me. I get to watch you grow up from all my time spent to help you ever since your father died. Your my whole world watching you grow, and became the amazing young man today. I don't care if your Quirkless, your my greatest treasure."
"..." Izuku stared at her before he turned over towards Fuuka, and Mitsuru. "Then... I have an important question for a fellow Quirkless parents." He then looked over at Tsunagu. "Best Jeanist too."
Hearing that they all turned to him.
"Yes Midoriya-san?" Fuuka inquired while holding Tetsuo close to her heart. "What is it?"
"For a long time ever since I discovered I was Quirkless... I wanted to know if it's still possible. A lot of my peers, and nearly everyone told me it isn't possible, I needed to have a Quirk to do it." With desperate tears he asked them a big question. "Can I still be a hero even without a Quirk?"
Oh... that explains a lot.
Basically from this Mitsuru, and Fuuka having known about how biased Aldera is from the meeting, and Tsunagu now learning this quickly figured that after being Quirkless, and his best friend turning his back on him for it after promising to be a hero duo together, Izuku had been struggling a lot to try catching up to his Quirked Classmates. From the notebook, and his brain, he seemed to be studying a whole lot, and figured that 'Hero Analysis for the Future' would mean that Izuku is studying Quirks to find there strengths, and weaknesses to become a good hero.
It sorta reminds Mitsuru, and Fuuka when Tetsuo asked them that very same question those years back a month after they've adopted him after he had been told by practically everyone Quirkless people are useless on the Hero Field as flashier Quirks are more for the hero field then those with true potential.
"Without question." Mitsuru answered only to hold her hand before Izuku could get his hopes up. "Or to be more accurate an individual without a quirk can become a hero… though I can't say if you have the same potential Tetsuo does. I will say that the greatest hero I've ever known was quirkless however."
"Hell yeah. For reasons we can't explain she saved all of us, and she is the best hero we ever known." the capped man grinned before frowning smiling sadly. "She gave her life to do that however."
"The point is that anyone can be a hero." Tsunagu brought his own verdict. "A person's Quirk doesn't make a hero, they are simply a tool. If you know Mitsuru's Quirk, she manipulate ice, and lower temperatures but she focuses as a CEO that doesn't require those talents. So to answer for all three of us, you too can be a hero."
A wave of tears followed before Izuku broke down getting on his knees holding his heart while Inko knelled down beside him to comfort him. It was from that all the pain, all the agony he suffered was let out since he wanted someone, anyone to tell him those same exact words, and now he has some people, and big deals no less tell him he does have a chance even if he doesn't have a superpower.
Mitsuru watched him before closing her eyes.
Later in a large room at the Kirijo estate...
Everyone from the hospital, along with Principal Tatsumi, Mura-sensei, several highly well known heroes with the notable exception of All Might and a group of heroes along with a mouse with a scar over his eye drinking a cup of tea were all sitting.
"I appreciate you all taking the time to come here, we're just waiting on three more people and then we can begin." Mitsuru told the group while Haru smiled.
"Nezu-san, would you like another cup?" Haru inquired with a friendly smile. "I've been working on a new combination of flavors I think you'll enjoy."
"Ah please do Miss Okumura. This tea combination is quite divine. Your Quirk is really useful for tea lovers." the mouse with the scar, Nezu, answered with a big grin over towards her.
Smiling she took a few leaves and closed her eyes as Inko looked at the utter wonder in Izuku's eyes seeing several famous pro heroes and the staff of his dream high school all in the same room, the only thing that would have made it better would have been if All Might was there but it was still incredible.
"Did you let Mr. and Mrs. Bakugo know how to get here Chie?" inquired a blonde boy with bright blue eyes.
"Yup, I made sure." a brunette girl wearing a green sweat jacket, and several buttons on it with a black skirt answered with a grin.
Soon the door was knocked which when a brown trench coat man answered the door walked in a green haired man wearing glasses, a blonde haired woman with a similar hair fashion like someone, and finally Bakugo himself who just looks down at the floor.
"Well, this is everyone so we can start with the elephant in the room... illegal quirk usage." Mitsuru mentioned immediately getting everyone's attention.
"Illegal Quirk Usage?" a white spandex blonde haired woman known as Mr. Lady who made her debut sometime earlier today asked blinking.
"So what's the subject onto this ma'am?" a wooden like hero, Kamui Woods, looked curiously wondering what brought this attention. "Is it concerning these two gentlemen here?" He gestured over to the Principal, and Homeroom Teacher who both looked to be confused.
"Yes." Mitsuru nodded before turning to Bakugo. "Katsuki Bakugo has been illegally using his Explosion Quirk on the premises of Aldera Junior High... to the degree of causing significant and repeated injury to his classmate Izuku Midoriya simply due to his own lack of a quirk."
"Miss Kirijo, we've already assured you we have every student's health, and education in mind, Bakugo-kun never hurt anybody."
"Lie."
Everyone blinked turning towards the brown trench coat man who explained over. "Oh sorry about that, I'm Detective Tsukauchi, I was sent here by the police force. My Quirk allows me to detect if either someone is speaking the truth or telling a lie."
"A useful quirk, especially for someone in law enforcement." Akihiko noted thoughtfully hearing that before pausing and turning to principal Tatsumi. "Though if that was a lie, what have you been doing?"
"We didn't do anything!" Mura-sensei seems to love digging his own coffin to still deny even with a Quirk like that around. "I was in Bakugo-kun's classroom, I know he'd never hurt Deku!"
"Lie." the Detective narrowed his eyes in a cold stare upon voicing that word.
The nickname wasn't lost towards them however. While some are confused over the nickname, people like Inko perked from hearing the teacher referring him as the insult Bakugo gave him. Izuku meanwhile flinched looking down while Inko takes his hand.
"I'll ask again." Akihiko frowned as some electricity crackled around his fists. "What have you been doing about this blatant bullying and illegal usage of quirks?"
"You dare threaten us?" the Principal looked a bit appalled seeing that. "You'll also commit Illegal Quirk Usage!"
"Oh, that is where you are very wrong my fellow Principal." Nezu spoke suddenly as he placed his tea cup calmly down while flashing Principal Tatsumi a bone-chilling grin. "For you see he, Mr. Akihiko Sanada, has a license to using his Quirk if the situations calls for it. He can do whatever he wants with it."
"We-We've been telling you, we haven't done anything-"
"JUST SHUT UP!" was the familiar voice of Bakugo snapping at his homeroom teacher while still looking down.
Everyone turned to him at that before Fuuka closed her eyes and knelt down. "Katsuki-kun? It's true isn't it? You were using your quirk on Izuku... but why?"
Katsuki turned away still looking down before he snapped from some pressure he had felt. "He was Quirkless... we were meant to be a hero team together, and then that damn examination had happened where the nerd didn't get a Quirk." He clenched his hands as he keeps looking at his lap. "He doesn't care if he doesn't have a Quirk, he still wants to be a hero even if everyone told him to just give up! I don't know how in a monkey's ass I thought he was looking down on me when I slipped, and fell one time, and he came to help me out, and I somehow thought he thinks of me as weak!" He then snapped his head up to say the next words. "Quirkless people are underdeveloped and stupid and worthless and completely useless. Everybody said so! Everybody treated him like that! None of the teachers did ever do shit when we picked on Deku! They just laughed and ignored it or blamed the nerd for it! And they never told me what I did was fucking wrong, so it wasn't. Everybody treated the nerd like shit, it was just fucking normal."
Oh everyone can understand where he is coming from at this confession. Still they turned to Tsukauchi for confirmation who had a frown but nodded. "Truth." But they can tell from Bakugo's expression it's true either way. Basically from the information they received from the teachers, Izuku, and Inko, not only were Aldera racists for the Quirkless, they also treated like Bakugo like a god from his Quirk being a really flashy one, and kept repeating to him he's destined to be the next All Might since childhood, and from it developed a really arrogant attitude from the adults telling him that all his life, trusting him to guide him to the right path. A path they clearly failed at if he developed into something like this.
Still he has hope for the future as per Tsunagu's warning he walked away instead of continuing to fight, and admitted the truth out loud towards them which shows that Bakugo is not completely gone, and has a chance to make things right. But he still needs to be punished for his actions that much is still certain.
It doesn't make Izuku any better as he watched in shock from his former best friend admitting everything he had been feeling. All the times that Bakugo had picked on him, he assumed that Bakugo hated him now due to him being Quirkless, but the truth was that the teachers all told him that he deserves to be the next All Might, and that Quirkless people are completely worthless, and shouldn't exist which was from the guidance of Quirkist Adults that had driven him to a different, and bad path. He still has hope that Bakugo can be a great hero, and team up with him in the future though, he still believes that much.
"Are you kidding!? You two really don't give a shit about this!?" was the voice of a black jumpsuit hero with a nametag on his coat with a blonde hairdo, and a radio around his neck. A member of U.A. Staff, Hizashi Yamada, or Present Mic who as someone who is relatable to Izuku's situation is rightly pissed off.
"W-We don't have anything personal!" Principal Tatsumi tries to turn things over to his favor. "Bakugo-kun is destined as the next greatest hero, I had made sure Deku won't get in his way!"
"Truth." That was awarded a truth from the Detective but that didn't make them any less infuriated.
"Kacchan..." Izuku whispered before Mitsuru walked over and gently embraced Bakugo.
"You're not in trouble." she told him softly.
"How am I fucking not!?" Bakugo questioned her while not resisting like he normally would while everyone else is pissed off at the Principal's words.
Even Fuuka one of the kindest people they know is really pissed off towards calling Quirkless people, and to extension her own son doesn't deserve to exist.
"Simple, because despite your actions you're trying to keep your best friend from being hurt." Mitsuru answered him turning to Detective Tsukauchi. "I'm correct aren't I? You're trying to hurt Izuku Midoriya so he gives up on his goal of becoming a Hero where he could end up dying... aren't you?"
Bakugo grunted not noticing her directing her attention to the Detective before he answered it.
"Yes, that's it."
"Truth." the Detective confirmed it.
"Oh Kacchan." Izuku jumped out of his seat running over towards him which Mitsuru pulled away allowing him to hug a stunned Bakugo looking at him while feeling Izuku crying against him. "I... I always knew you had a reason! You've never hated me, I knew it!"
"Izu..." Bakugo trailed off looking at Izuku's form still stunned.
"Well despite this, Bakugo-kun still won't be let off easy." Nezu voiced over to them. "Despite that he admitted his actions he still needs to accept the consequences of his actions. He will still attend U.A. should be prove he changed but he should visit anger management therapy with Hound Dog as a step to heal, and undo the damage." A fairly acceptable consequence as Bakugo wasn't doing his actions out of malice, and merely wished Izuku to be alright secretly but hurting him is not the way to go for.
Now Bakugo is looking down whole-heartedly accepting the consequences with his friendship with Izuku seemingly rekindled by embracing Izuku again. Mitsuki who was normally as explosive as her son was watching in shock from what her son confessed over, and other things just staring at the picture stunned. She never knew how far he went for Izuku but now knows for real. Part of her wants to cry, to scream, to get mad at him. But she doesn't do that instead just stares.
"Now as for you two..." Everyone (except Bakugo, and Izuku who are still bonding) turned there attention back towards Aldera's Principal, and Homeroom teacher who flinched while Nezu's gaze glinted. "What shall we do with you?"
"Actually, before we get back to the Aldera situation there's something else... Kikuno, please get my evoker." Mitsuru mentioned to a maid nearby before the temperature in the room started to drop. "This is something, that absolutely cannot leave this room... does everyone here understand?"
"Your gonna show everyone to even people like them Mit-chan?" a blonde haired boy asked her.
"I am." she nodded closing her eyes. "While quirks are important they aren't the only thing that can make someone a hero... despite how it appeared to Midoriya, Bakugo, and Tsunagu my son did not awaken to a quirk today... he's still quirkless."
"Oh I thought we were labeling it as a Quirk Awakening for appearances so people don't get any ideas." Nezu brought up over.
"That is the official report, but this isn't the official report." Mitsuru mentioned calmly as Kikuno walked up holding what to most of them looked like a gun with the letters S.E.E.S. engraved in it. "Thank you Kikuno."
"Of course." the maid nodded bowing slightly before stepping back as Mitsuru stood up. "There's more than one way for someone to be a Hero... quirks are the most obvious but there's also this..."
Taking the evoker in her hand she closed her eyes at the familiar sensation before in front of everyone there she pulled it to her temple and pulled the trigger with a single word...
"Artemisia!"
At that blue fragments flew around her before materializing something above her which shows of a woman wearing armor while having a spikes whip over.
Everyone stared in shock at the thing there seeing while Bakugo, and Izuku looked with recognition from remembering Tetsuo summoning something similar only she used a gun rather then a mask.
"T-The fuck... she's got one of those things too!?" Bakugo still engraved the awakening Tetsuo went through.
"We all do." Labrys mentioned indicating herself and most of the people in the room. "We don't all call them the same way but we all have Personas."
"We don't have time now to get into all of the specifics but a Quirk is very different from a Persona." Mitsuru mentioned as Artemisia faded. "Tetsuo awoke to his own Persona... but he does not have a quirk."
"And knowing what they are is a great privilege." Nezu stated over with his grin. "The Kirijo Group has this of great secrecy there are very rare to see here."
"Why does she have us see it?" a gray-haired red suited man with some designed fist rings asked him curiously.
"Well originally, Mitsuru, and her comrades wanted to chat about it with just the U.A. Staff, however I figure from the circumstances this is going through, she is merely proving that anyone can be a hero even if they don't possess a Quirk." Nezu is smarter so he is able to figure, and catch up quick on plans, and strategies which is the result of his Quirk, High Spec, and also a rare case of an animal developing a Quirk.
"D-Don't tell us you'll defend something as undeveloped as the Quirkless!?" Despite this Mura-sensei laid down a final nail in his coffin from those words as they seemed to be the trigger towards Fuuka's hidden explosive rage as hearing that meant he is calling Izuku, Tetsuo, and the same person that saved the world all those years ago undeveloped.
"SHUT UP!" Fuuka slammed her hands down on the table standing up while glaring at him hatefully. "You have no idea what you're talking about and you have no right to call someone undeveloped just because they don't happen to have a quirk! How can someone like you possibly be a teacher for anyone!?"
Everyone flinched from staring at her stunned from her rage which frightens everyone even strong figures like Nezu, Mitsuru, Bakugo, and even this one guy with the U.A. Staff. Mamagishi Bear is determined to protect her young even if there not biological or that there Quirkless she is proud to have a kid to raise with her wife, and no-one will say otherwise.
Mitsuru softly placed a hand on her wife's shoulder. "Take some breaths Fuuka. We will see what we can do with them."
She still glared at them before nodding.
"Now, as for why I showed this to you it was to inform you that while not a guarantee if Midoriya has the potential to awaken a Persona he'll be more than capable of defending himself from the most dangerous of villains... there are risks as I'm certain you realized after attacking Tetsuo's Persona Bakugo." Mitsuru told him before smiling. "Though if he does have the potential I'm certain his own "Quirk" could allow you to share your dream."
"Wait... I can have a Persona too?" That wasn't lost on Izuku looked stunned that she is saying HE can have a Persona too. "But... do I even have what I need?"
Before Mitsuru can answer the toboggan man tapped her shoulder to point out. "Don't mean to interrupt but let's save that for when some UNTRUSTWORTHY people aren't listening." He is talking about the two teachers, and the Pro Heroes otherside the U.A. Staff, and Tsunagu as he doesn't trust them to have important info like that, and that most heroes care for fame then helping others.
"Agreed, though there is one thing I would like to ask Bakugo himself. Your principal and teacher stated that due to the nature of your quirk you need to let off small explosions... was that another lie to cover up your actions or was that true?" Mitsuru inquired calmly turning to Nezu. "I assume that would be permitted if done appropriately assuming it is required?"
Bakugo tched before turning over. "Their poorly budgeted so we don't have what we need to deal with my mutation of sweating more then normal so I have to let it out now, and then to keep it from doing too much."
"Truth."
Nezu nodded calmly from this before then directing towards Bakugo's parents. "Mr. and Miss Bakugo, may I ask what your Quirks are, and what did Bakugo-kun inherited?"
"Well my sweat is corrosive, and by rubbing my hands together it can trigger some explosions. The downside is I have to sweat normally, and I can't force it." Mr. Bakugo admitted over rubbing his head.
Mitsuki herself gave her own piece of info. "For me, I can secrete a Glycerin like fluid at will, and because of it's moisturizing properties my skin always had been given great care. Katsuki inherited the glycerin effect, and can secrete it at all while also have Masoru's ability to make explosions to have his sweat ignite. He can't exactly control how much he secretes."
"Then by that we shall provide some Quirk training so that he can control how much he can secrete in addition to his therapy sessions so that his explosions won't disrupt his future classes." Nezu laid down an extra condition upon deciding the best way to deal with this. "Is that acceptable?" He is asking the whole Bakugo family that question to see if they approve.
The three of them nodded at that though Bakugo looked down again.
"Then, I suppose the only thing left to discuss is what to do regarding Aldera Junior High and it's blatant Quirkism in regards to both students like Bakugo and Midoriya." Mitsuru noted calmly before smiling. "As it stands however none of my associates here are involved in the educational system so all I can do is offer my suggestion to Nezu that the school be shut down and the students all transferred elsewhere and that Katsuki Bakugo have someone keep an eye on him... if anger management and Quirk training proves adequate I see no reason this should hinder his future as a potential hero. Does that sound reasonable to everyone here?"
They all nodded while the two teachers paled from this.
"But... you can't... That school is mine! You can't force me to shut it down!" Principal Tatsumi argued desperately before from rage let his true colors be known. "The School Board will have your head for this Mitsuru all cause of your overreaction for your disfigured fake of a son!"
There was the smallest of pauses before the entire room became absolutely ice cold while Fuuka looked ready to rip his head off with her bare hands and it was only because of Akihiko and the toboggan man quickly held her back.
"...And from that note I should probably investigate the school to see if there's anyone else like them." Detective Tsukauchi coughed to try releasing some tension which failed before he stood up looking at Nezu. "Sir? Permission to take them away before someone gets executed?"
"Acknowledged." Although Nezu's fur stood up showing he's just as angry he is still calm enough to say that.
So with that the detective took both the teacher, and the Principal away quickly to prevent any murders from happening. With the three of them gone Mitsuru sighed and rubbed her forehead. "I'm sure we all have things to get back to in our own lives so I won't keep any of you... though like I said not one person outside of this room can know about Personas."
Turning to Izuku she closed her eyes before handing him her evoker.
"Huh?" Izuku blinked from this seeing it.
"If you have the potential and the courage to find out... hold it to your head and pull the trigger." Mitsuru told him.
Izuku widen his eyes staring at the Evoker. It sounded really like shooting himself in the head which is definitely something that can unnerve a mind as it would be like ending there lives there, and now, and from knowing the mask Tetsuo have, he probably doesn't want to know how it happens like that so this is probably an 'easier' way.
Still his mother brought a concern. "Uh... that won't really kill Izuku will it?" The Evoker looks like a gun so of course she had to ask if it really isn't a real one if Izuku doesn't have the potential.
To her horror nobody answered as they just watched to see what Izuku would do.
Izuku kept looking at the Evoker before looking up at Mitsuru. "Uh... maybe try later?" He held up his hand to softly push the Evoker back. "I... I want to see if I can get stronger... and be more confident before I try."
"I understand." she nodded calmly before gently smiling.
"Well... I guess we should leave the rest of this to the U.A. Staff." a gray haired hero wearing silver knuckle busters named Death Arms suggested which all by Tsunagu nodded before he turned over to his colleague. "Thanks for the call, Jeanist."
"Your welcome." With that everyone left while Endeavor a blue suited man with flames around, and a brown feathered wing man known as Hawks looked over at him before walking over leaving the U.A. Staff, the three teams, the Midoriyas, Bakugos, and Tsunagu alone together for the second half of the meeting.
"What else do we need to discuss?" Present Mic inquired.
"Several other things." Nezu perked with a smile. "Now that Aldera is doomed, we can focus over the more important stuff. But first, I figure some introductions are needed." He turned over towards everyone. "Am I a dog, a mouse, or a bear? More importantly you know me as Nezu, the Principal of U.A. though I'm frequently called Mr. Principal, an unofficial hero name. Now why don't we start with you first for U.A. Staff?"
The guy that was intimidated from Fuuka's rage earlier with Mitsuru, Nezu, and Bakugo sighed before standing up showing he's wearing a black jumpsuit with yellow goggles around his neck, and having long black hair along with a trimmed shaved beard/mustache but they also noticed his eyes are bloodshot. "I am Shota Aizawa, the teacher of Class 1-A at U.A. also known as the Pro Hero, Eraserhead."
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Akihiko mentioned calmly.
He sat down before the red suited guy stood up. "My name is Sekjiro Kan, the teacher of Class 1-B known professionally as the Blood Hero: Vlad King."
Next who stood up was a woman who's wearing a... revealing hero costume to say the least. A black leather breastless leotard over a white skin-tight bodysuit along with translucent, black, thigh-high garter stockings, which were attached to a burgundy utility belt decorated with gold studs around her hips, a matching pentagonal buckle in its center, and black knee-boots. She had a small red mask outlining her eyes, and a handcuff on each wrist.
"Hi there, the name's Nemuri Kayama otherwise known as the R-Rated Hero: Midnight, and I teach Modern Art Hero History!" the woman grinned with a wave, and winked.
"Are you sure that outfit is appropriate for high school?" Labrys asked looking at her hero uniform. "It's a little... much."
"Oh I'm not worried, my Quirk is needed to have exposed skin so that it can be of use." Midnight explained before grabbing one sleeve, and pulled which ripped without resistance. "But I added this bodysuit that can tear apart easily. I had done different materials to find out what works while adhering to the costume regulations so this is as closest as I can get."
"Right her Quirk is known as Somnambulist which can-" Before Izuku can get into a ramble Bakugo tapped his head which made him blink before he blushed, and said simply. "It can let out a sleep like aroma from her skin. It works better for guys then girls though."
Hearing that they nodded calmly.
"That makes sense, so your clothes are designed with your quirk in mind." the sliver-haired young man noted.
Midnight sat down with a grin while Present Mic stood up with a grin. "Oh yeah, what's up faithful Listeners my name is Hizashi Yamada, or known as Present Mic the MCP from Raise Your Hands Radio station, and I'm the English Teacher at this joyful institution, can I can get a YEAH!?" He did a peace sign as he said this while all not from U.A. blinked, and Shota sighed tiredly from this.
"Is he... normally this loud?" inquired a young woman with short blue hair wearing a blue detective's outfit. "Oh, my name is Naoto Shirogane I'm a detective as well."
"Well Present Mic's Quirk is Voice which allows him to take his voice to high levels, and he has his own Radio talk show that I listen too a lot." Izuku explained that detail over.
Naoto nodded in understanding hearing that.
"Whew... tough crowd."
While Present Mic sat down who stood up next was a blue mechanical suited man that has gold lines, and is wearing a large brown cloak as he said in a mechanical voice. "My name is Ectoplasm both real, and Hero Name. I teach Mathematics here at U.A."
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Haru smiled softly.
Ectoplasm sat down as a mutated Quirk teacher stood up showing a stone like man wearing a black sleeveless uniform rose up with large fingers. "My name is Ken Ishiyama, I teach Literature at U.A. Oh, and publicly I'm known as Cementoss."
Mitsuru nodded as she smiled softly. "I enjoy a good book myself when I get the opportunity."
Cementoss nodded sitting down as who stood up next was a short red haired man wearing yellow steel as a dinosaur head on his head exposing his muscular body, and having what seemed like claws for digging on his fingers.
"Higari Maijima, or known as Power Loader." the man introduced himself. "We have two courses either Support or Hero Course, I am the one who oversees the Support Course to guide students to make support items for future heroes to hit the field one day."
"That sounds like it could be a huge help to heroes and civilians." the toboggan man mentioned only to pause. "My name's Shinjiro Aragaki."
"And speaking of Hero Course," Power Loader sat down as a brown cloaked cowboy with a Texan Accent wearing a gas mask with a fedora along with several pistols equipped onto a belt rose. "Name's Snipe, one of the Teachers of the Hero Course who is helping the students be ready when there training to become heroes for unexpected scenarios, hostage situations, you know the usual stuff."
Mitsuru nodded at that. "True, there's more to being a hero than just fighting villains."
"Indeed, and that's where I come in."
Snipe sat down allowing a woman wearing a large white suit with a helmet also reminiscing an astronaut rose up to introduce herself. "I am Anan Kurose, or known as the Space Hero: Thirteen. I am in charge of Rescue Operations over something known as the USJ or the Unforseen Simulation Joint. We focus over teaching students to learn to adapt over scenarios such as blizzards, large fires, earthquakes, anything that requires saving lives."
"A good lesson to instill in students at a young age." mentioned a woman with short brown hair and red eyes. "Oh, I'm Makoto Niijima."
"And also to teach them to use there Quirks responsibly as like anything else including this power of Persona, they can be used to kill." an old woman wearing a nurse outfit voiced over before moving. "I'm Chiyo Shuzenji, and I'm-"
"Oh the Youthful Heroine: Recovery Girl!" Izuku suddenly called the hero identity of her. "She is one of the great heroes as of now, and her Quirk is capable of accelerating the healing rate of our bodies though it drains our stamina for how much she heals."
"Let the pros explain it Deku." Bakugo glared at him though everyone present could see that the nickname didn't have nearly any of the malice it had earlier.
"Uh... sorry."
Chiyo only gave a small smile. "Well he is correct. From this, I am the School Nurse here at U.A."
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you all." Mitsuru nodded calmly.
"Of course we want them to have a clear mind." Who stood up next was a muscular fierce looking man that has a black muzzle on his face. "My name is Ryo Inui, or known as Hound Dog, I'm the Guidance Counselor of U.A., and also have several skills for therapy. I'll be monitoring Bakugo-san's progress to assist him."
"No offense, but are you sure you have your own temper under control? You're wearing a muzzle." a young woman with long orange hair and glasses pointed out. "You don't exactly scream therapist to be honest. Oh, I'm Futaba Sakura."
"Oh despite his fierce appearance he is a skilled counselor." Nezu assured over to her with a smile. "His Quirk allows him to react, and act like a dog so it's nothing to worry about."
"And finally we get to me." A man wearing a chef's attire with a mask that covers his face while also having a tube that connects from his mouth to his back. "I'm the Cook Hero: Lunch Rush, and in case you don't get it, I'm the person that feeds the students, and teachers during Lunch Breaks."
"That makes sense." Akihiko nodded.
"Well that's every teacher from us." Nezu smiled before turning back over towards the three teams. "So mind introducing yourselves?"
"Of course, I'll begin." Mitsuru noted calmly looking at them. "My name is Mitsuru Kirijo, the current president of the Kirijo group."
"Wonderful to meet with you again Mitsuru." Nezu bowed his head with his usual grin. "Maybe we can catch up on chess if we get some time?"
"That would be enjoyable, though I'm not sure I'd be much of an opponent." Mitsuru smiled. "As for the rest of you, my quirk is a simple form of cryokinesis... I can manipulate and create ice."
"I'm Akihiko Sanada, I can channel electricity into my fists... I'm also a trained boxer so I know how to use my quirk effectively." Akihiko mentioned.
They nodded over at this as Power Loader cupped his chin. "So you use your Quirk to give your punches some needed oomph. Quite interesting."
Akihiko grinned at that.
"Now you?" they looked over towards Fuuka.
"Fuuka Kirijo, I'm Mitsuru's wife." she smiled. "As for my quirk, I have a very powerful sensory quirk and telepathic communication with others."
"Next I'm Junpei Iori." a capped man grinned waiting. "Believe it or not I actually didn't have a Quirk at first. I have one now which allows me to heal anything."
"You got a Quirk after being Quirkless you say?" Nezu's eyes narrowed hearing that. "How did you get such a thing?"
Junpei looked down admitting. "Well... it was my wife's... she gave it to me to save my life this one time."
Hearing that Nezu dropped his expression which Mitsuru, and Fuuka notices is suspicion before giving his signature smile. "Well I hope your wife is doing okay right now Iori-san."
"She's... doing ok. She's with our daughter now." Junpei answered.
"Yeah. She should be at the age where her own Quirk will come." a brown haired woman said before smiling. "Oh sorry, I'm Yukari Takeba, one of Mitsuru's best friends. My own Quirk allows me to create arrows made of Winds, and have accurate aim though the less intense the winds the less power they have."
"Impressive." Aizawa noted calmly. "And how much control do you have over your arrows?"
"Really well so far... though for things like tornados or tempest storms I have minimal control." Yukari admitted over.
Aigis nodded over before looking over. "My name is Aigis. I'm a robot with a Quirk of my own."
"A robot with a Quirk?" Cementoss asked surprised hearing that. "How does such a thing exist?"
"It's a long story but my own Quirk allows me to use a mode known as Orgia Mode." Aigis explained over her Quirk. "I receive a dramatic power boost for a short time though I overheat really quickly, and shutdown for a minute which leaves me open for attacks."
"That's why Aigis doesn't fight on her own, none of us do we work as a team." Akihiko explained.
The brown haired young man waved his hand. "I'm Ken Amada the youngest member of the Shadow Operatives." He then explained over. "My Quirk is capable to use light to light up dark areas or stun enemies. Can even heal or knock people out. It drains my stamina though..." He then rubbed the white Shiba-Inu's head. "And this is Koromaru. He has a Quirk too."
"Just like you Nezu." Present Mic grinned at the Principal who gave a grin over.
"Indeed. What is his Quirk young man?"
Ken explained over. "He can use fire to create barriers. He can't use them for attacking but there capable of scorching anything that tries to get pass them."
Koromaru barked at that.
"Koromaru also says that he's working on controlling the temperature of his barriers depending on the situation." Aigis mentioned.
Akihiko turned over to Shinjiro. "Shinji?"
Shinjiro frowned walking forward. "I already said my name, so I'll just get to my own. I can suspend things in the air even myself. I don't have any control to move if I use it on myself so I use items to move around."
Nezu nodded calmly at that.
"Last for us Shadow Operatives, I'm Labrys Aigis' sister." Labrys introduced herself with a soft smile. "My own Quirk is that I can shapeshift into anyone I want. Only drawback is, I have to stare at them to get it all right."
"Anyone, that sounds useful for gathering information." Aizawa noted hearing that.
"Now for us the Junior Detectives."
They looked as the sliver haired man walked over. "I'm Yu Narukami, the leader of my team. I don't have a Quirk but I have a unique ability of the Persona known as the Wild Card allowing me to use several Personas."
"Don't misunderstand, that ability is very versatile and I say with 100% certainty that if Narukami desired to do so he would be an even greater hero than All Might himself." Mitsuru told them.
"An even bigger deal then All Might?" Midnight asked shocked. "I don't know why he isn't a licensed hero yet... in that case."
"That's because until now we don't know if we can even use Personas here in the real world." a blonde haired man admitted over before pausing. "Oh, I'm Yosuke Hanamura. My Quirk allows me to control winds, and even ride on them. Though I have to hear the winds to use them."
"And before you ask, no he can't ride my arrows of wind." Yukari added.
They nodded as a bowled green suit girl grinned. "Well I'm Chie Satonaka. My Quirk allows me to use heightened abilities to give my attacks more boost, and have more keener senses. I can even turn parts of my body into a dragon if I focus hard enough."
Hearing that Vlad King cupped his chin. "And I'm guessing you don't know or not related to the Dragoon Hero: Ryukyu? She is able to turn into a dragon herself."
"Oh, no I'm not related to her." Chie mentioned.
"But you have heard of her?"
"Yeah that's the closest." Chie nodded before grinning. "She's my idol though cause I really love all the times she shows herself as a dragon! Wa-ta!" She made a Karate pose which made most of everyone sweatdrop.
"Ppppppfffffftttt." a ponytailed black haired girl started laughing uncontrollably.
"Not again, sorry about that. Yukiko-chan has some... laughing fits." Yosuke apologized.
"Tch... reminds me of a certain annoyance." Aizawa sighed seeing to recall someone like this.
"Ah don't speak ill of Ms. Joke, Shota, she always enjoys a good laugh." Present Mic grinned over which made Aizawa tch again.
Soon after allowing Yukiko to stop laughing she takes some breathes before saying. "Sorry about that... I'm Yukiko Amagi, and yes from the Amagi Inn. I can use a Folding Fan to create petals to blow around either to burn or heal."
"Petals?" Nezu inquired.
"Cherry blossom petals." Yukiko answered over with a smile.
"Well me next." a blonde haired man said over to them. "I'm Kanji Tatsumi, actually younger then the rest of them. I may not look like but I like crocheting, and it can allow me to summon allies. Can also do it faster then normal."
"That's a useful quirk." Ectoplasm mentioned.
"Well guess it's me next." a blonde haired boy said before waving. "Hello there, my name is Teddie Hanamura! I follow by with sensei, and my friends anywhere we go. My quirk allows me to control water, and channel the moisture within the air to create water. I can also filter it where it can either be really dirty or purified." To demonstrate he takes a empty cup from his pocket, and with a finger above it twirled it as before there eyes water starts to be formed filling the cup before it's full, and offered it to Midnight to drink. "Here you are lovely lady."
Midnight grinned over accepting the cup. "Well aren't you a gentleman? Offering water for a lady." She curiously takes a sip, and after a few seconds nodded with a grin. "Yup this is the purified stuff."
"Don't praise him, Teddie's a huge flirt." Chie frowned.
"Well his Quirk will definitely knock the water industry down a peg." Chiyo admitted with a small shrug.
A brown haired girl in two braids waved. "Well hello there. Rise Kujikawa, and yes I'm Risette. My own Quirk allows people to focus there attention on me. I don't use it whenever I go as an idol, I get there attention fair, and square."
"That's rather admirable of you." Aizawa noted. "Consider me impressed."
"And that just leaves me left." Naoto said over before saying. "I already said my name but my own Quirk allows me to use Ricochet Shots."
"Ricochet shots, as in gunfire?" Cementoss asked her.
"Yes." Naoto turns where they can see the revolver perched on her hip. "I've hardly ever used it thankfully."
"I guess that means I'm next?" asked a young man with glasses and frizzy black hair. "My name's Akira Kurusu, and I have the same power as Yu."
"Akira Kurusu... as in the-"
"The leader of the Phantom Thieves?" Akira asked in Izuku's place who slowly nodded. He gave him a smirk. "Yes indeed. Me, and my team are here at Mitsuru's request upon finding out we're Persona Users ourselves."
"I guess that cat's out of the bag then huh?" asked a blonde girl with blue eyes.
"Yeah." a blonde haired boy walked. "Sup? I'm Ryuji Sakamoto. As a Phantom Thief, I'm Skull. My Quirk is the same as his," he gestured over to Akihiko. "only I use it on my knees to give my speed a big boost. It gotten messed up a while back, and I been meaning to get a support item to fix it up."
"Even with his knee injured he's still really fast... not quite as fast as the Turbo Hero Ingenium though." Akira clarified. "Though, he's still easily the fastest of us."
"And next is me." a black cat said which only Aigis, and Labrys hears right with the Thieves. "Morgana TRANSFORM!"
He jumped before after a puff of smoke is a small black ninja cat with a hood having big blue eyes grinning.
"You can disguise yourself as an animal?" Present Mic asked. "That's an incredibly useful quirk. Or... is it just that one black cat, you know the whole black cat is bad luck superstition right?"
"Well for one I'm not a Cat, I just happen to go by one." the cat ninja said with crossed arms. "I'm Morgana, but as a Phantom Thief it's Mona. My Quirk allows me to change my appearance either as this or by the cat you seen."
"That could be useful."
Ann walked over. "I'm Ann Takamaki. Being a Phantom Thief, it's Panther, and my own Quirk allows me to have reflexes, and senses of a cat. I once received in invitation to join the Wild Wild Pussycats but I'm not a licensed hero so I couldn't accept."
"Unfortunately true." Nezu noted calmly.
A blue haired man walked, and said over. "I'm Yusuke Kitagawa under the name Fox as a Phantom Thief. My Quirk allows me to produce ink from my hands. Not suited for combat but it's useful for an artist I suppose."
"I can understand that, not all quirks need to be flashy to get the job done." Aizawa nodded.
"Well mine should get ya by surprise." Makoto walked with a smile. "Makoto Niijima as before. My Quirk is complicated to explain but I absorb matter in my left hand, and energy in my right. I can only keep it up for a minute, and can combine them if I want too."
"Absorbing matter or energy, that sounds like an incredibly powerful and potentially dangerous quirk." Ectoplasm frowned.
"Queen is responsible with how she uses it." Futaba voiced over with a smile before looking over. "Futaba Sakura or Oracle. I'm the Phantom Thieves' Navigator, and my own Quirk is... a bit tough to explain properly. But I think the best way to describe it is that I can change the cognition of one thing. Can only be used once a day."
"Change its cognition?" Nezu inquired. "I may have to speak with you more about this quirk miss Sakura."
Haru takes her turn waving. "Well I'm Haru Okumura or Noir though I think you guys already knew that, and my Quirk. I take leaves of any kind, and reshape them into Tea Leaves."
"A quirk I approve of quite strongly." Nezu smiled taking a sip. "Your tea leaves are the most divine of any I've ever experienced."
Haru smiled over at this before a red haired girl with glasses walked over.
"I'm Sumire Yoshizawa." she bowed over. "My Quirk allows me to sense things quicker such as danger. I trained myself in acrobatics to use this ability well."
Akira smiled softly at that.
"Well Violet it's my turn now." a brown haired gray suited man walked over as Sumire nodded walking aside for him to go. "Some of you might know me but I'm Goro Akechi or known as Crow. I'm a rather special case among the Persona Users here today cause I also don't have a Quirk but this also allows me to be like Akira... a person of the Wild Card."
"All three of you, and this power is even greater than All Might?" Present Mic questioned in disbelief.
"Unfortunately my own power is significantly weaker than Yu Narukami or Joker's... it takes quite a bit of effort to tap into the full power of the Wild Card and I haven't managed that yet." Akechi explained.
Then a white jacket red haired girl walked over smiling. "Next is me one of the most recent members of the Phantom Thieves. I am Sophia, humanity's companion or Sophie. Thanks to the Kirijo Group I have a body to be out here, and my own Quirk is a type, I call Pandora's Box after my Persona. With this box, I can create any item I want as long as I seen it before. It takes me a few minutes to reuse it though."
"Any object?" Midnight asked. "And does it matter how long you see it or from how far away?"
"One simple look on a TV, or a picture from the internet is all I need." Sophia answered.
"Impressive." Nezu smiled hearing that.
"And that just leaves me the oldest out of them all." a black haired glasses goatee man wearing a black suit walked over grinning crossing his arms. "I'm Detective Zenkichi Hanesagawa or known truly as Wolf. My own quirk is like Detective Tsukauchi's; useful in police work. It allows me to detect the cause, effect, or identity of forensics."
"That's very useful." Aizawa noted.
"And that's us." Mitsuru voiced over. "My team is the Shadow Operatives, Narukami's is the Investigation Team, and Kurusu's is the Phantom Thieves."
"Indeed so. Rest assured all your secrets of the Personas, and our involvement of the Phantom Thieves will be kept under tight lips." Nezu flashed his usual grin. "Now that introductions are done, let us discuss the rest of business over what is to be done regarding this incident, and what to do starting forward."
"Agreed." Mitsuru nodded.
"Alright we have Bakugo-kun's therapy section, and the exposure of the truth." Nezu said over before looking at Mitsuru. "Now Mitsuru-san, would you, and your wife like to press charges on that Principal for allowing this to happen or is the lawsuit he will suffer soon enough be plenty?"
"Of course we are!" Fuuka mentioned going into mama-bear mode. "On him and that teacher!"
"I don't blame ya. As someone who's a father himself I would do the same." Zenkichi grinned over. "After this you can talk to me, and Tsukauchi for settling the details. Maybe with even both Detective Princes on our backs." He looks at Naoto, and Akechi. "What do you two say Shirogane-san, Akechi-kun?"
"Of course." Naoto nodded.
"Well with that next up with what to do with Tetsuo-kun awakening to a Persona." Nezu added over.
"Just leave that to us." Akihiko stated over to him. "We been training him for a while, we know Personas better then anyone else. Especially that he has the Wild Card like Aigis, Yu, Akira, and Akechi."
"Wha-!? You are a Wild Card yourself?" Snipe looked over towards Aigis.
"Yes, though my situation is slightly different... I inherited that ability." Aigis explained. "It... may be due to an intimate event. When he imprinted himself on my Plume of Dusk."
"Imprinted? By who?" Thirteen asked with a tilt of her head.
"Minako Arisato, a woman who saved all of us." Mitsuru answered. "By giving up her life."
"Well to put it short some years ago all of us we're in danger of dying." Junpei explained over the short version. "We were still in high school as juniors or in Mitsuru, and Akihiko's case seniors when it happened. At the final battle, she managed to save everyone from this threat but... she passed away sometime later."
"She should by all means be recognized as a hero... but she never got the chance... cause nobody would believe it." Fuuka started crying recalling Minako of all the fun times they all spent together, and even her relationship by melting the ice over Shinjiro's heart, and gave him back his pocketwatch which inadvertently saved him from dying that day. She once admitted to Fuuka that she was in love with Shinjiro, and was at the hospital everyday if possible to check on him during his coma. Although she rescued everyone, she never gotten the chance to stay, and be with Shinjiro.
It was with a heavy heart for Fuuka to tell Shinjiro how Minako truly felt about him...
"That... I'm sorry." Midnight whispered.
Mitsuru rubbed her wife's back as Ken looked over. "She is still watching us. I know she wouldn't want us to beat ourselves up. So we decided to make the most of our lives to hopefully to one day make things right, and free her."
That made the U.A. Teachers, Midoriyas, Bakugos, and Phantom Thieves blinked at that but Yu shook his head. "We will explain when we get some time. Right now is discussing what happens now."
"Yes of course." Present Mic cleared his throat. "So... Mitsuru, Fuuka... do you two have any schools in mind before settling on Aldera?"
"Well... we originally thought of assigning him to be at Somei Private Academy but he asked to be in a normal school not wanting to be a big deal." Mitsuru admitted over to them. "For High School he wants to try out U.A." She gave a soft smile. "Despite him not having a Quirk he's real gifted."
"Oh me too!" Izuku brought up. "I don't have a Quirk myself but I want to go to U.A. myself to be the hero like All Might is!"
"Tch, I'm also going. I'm aiming to be the Number One Hero out there, and there ain't nothing gonna stop me." Bakugo sneered over although he didn't say it like he normally does like he deserves it, it's more confidently.
"Well Bakugo, you can thank Mitsuru for getting the opportunity to prove yourself." Nezu mentioned. "Then again, I can see in your eyes you'll make the most of this so I look forward to the day you enroll."
Bakugo looked over before grinning over with closed eyes.
"Well we can get enrollments to have all three to Somei Private Academy if that is-"
"W-Wait hold on!" Inko interrupted Nezu as they looked over. "It's not that I don't mind but I can't afford that type of tuition. Money has been tight lately, and transferring Izuku into Somei will have us be homeless." Izuku looked over worried knowing that due to him being Quirkless, and a single mother her job decided to be insufferable by renouncing there thoughts on giving her a promotion, and give her minimum wage. The stress gets to her which gives her an unhealthy diet, and anxiety if Izuku does hit the field from knowing heroes get killed in the line of duty either by the Hero Killer: Stain or other kinds of villains, or natural disasters.
"Leave that to me, I'll handle tuition for all three of them Mrs. Midoriya." Mitsuru calmly told her.
The two looked over to her surprised as Inko said over. "M-Mitsuru... you don't have to do that for us."
"Please we insist." Fuuka smiled gently to her. "Our son helped yours, and we know how hard is life for you. So we don't mind." She turned to Mitsuru smiling. "Right Mitsuru?"
"Of course." Mitsuru smiled gently. "It's the least I can do."
"Although... be honest you, and Izuku are living it rough aren't you?" Akihiko softly asked Inko. "We read about how the Quirkless are treated from Minako, and Yu's case, and when Mitsuru, and Fuuka took Tetsuo in so it must've been hell when Izuku's diagnosis about his Quirk was shown."
Inko looked down sadly. "Yes. It has been hard. A lot of people told me a lot of things about Izuku... I know they weren't true. They don't know the kind of person Izuku is." While her son watches worried she continued to chat. "While I am worried over if he truly becomes a hero, I know it is what he wanted to be more then anything. I knew I wasn't getting that promotion anyway. I didn't let my trouble concern my little Izuku, I only want him to be happy."
"Oh shit Inko..." Mitsuki trailed off shocked at Inko never revealing her pain to her.
Mitsuru, and Fuuka looked at each other communicating with Fuuka's Quirk, 'Mitsuru are you thinking what I am thinking?'
'I am.' Mitsuru replied calmly.
With that they looked, and Mitsuru said over. "Then why don't you two live with us?" Inko, and Izuku looked at her shocked. "If Izuku does have a Persona, then this could work for us to monitor his progress. It'll also give him the training needed to be a hero himself, and not to mention that Tsunagu found out about his little notebook... 'Hero Analysis For The Future' Volume 12 was it?" Izuku blushed bright hearing that. "Which means Aldera is also going over sabotaging on the list of other charges. With time, I think he will be an effective hero with that sharp mind of his."
"Oh no no Mitsuru-san we can't! We would only be getting in the way!" Inko although touched from there offer kindly refused.
"Your not in the way at all. We have plenty of room for you two." Fuuka assured them with a smile. "I think this will be a good experience for Izuku, and Tetsuo. They train together, and learn about there Personas together. I can't think of a reason why you two can't."
"Well I approve of this." Nezu brought up as they looked over. "Indeed, maybe along with keeping some classes for young Izuku if he has time cause within time his sharp mind will be his greatest asset." All of the U.A. Teachers shuddered disturbed at another Nezu coming over. "Of course Miss Midoriya, what do you say?"
Inko stared on shock giving some careful thought before turning to Izuku. "Izuku what do you think?"
He just looked around the entire room, thoughts and emotions racing across his face after everything that had happened before he just swallowed nervously. "I... thank you so much Mrs. and Mrs. Kirijo!"
He bowed with tears in his eyes.
"Please no need to bow." Mitsuru smiled over to him. "And please call me Mitsuru."
"And call me Fuuka." Fuuka smiled back over to him as he softly raised up. "Oh sorry we gotten off track. So the boys will enroll into Somei Private Academy, and the Midoriyas will come live with us?"
"Of course that's what we went over." Nezu smiled over. "Along with getting a Pro Hero as a mentor-figure so they can learn to be proper heroes."
Tsunagu at that raised his hand. "In that case, I'll do it. I founded them so I'm the most qualified over. I've worked with Mitsuru in the past so it'll be nice to catch up."
"Very well, I don't see any problems." Nezu nodded over writing down. "Are you interested in being a Teacher of U.A. also Tsunagu? Our new Heroics Teacher needs an assistant to get him on the right track."
"I'd be honored. I need to get things organized with my agency."
"Then we're in agreement!" Nezu clapped his hands with a smile. "Okay so here are the terms as of now: The Midoriyas will come live with the Kirijos as I help Izuku sharpen his mind as the boys train to be heroes, and master with Personas with the aid of the Persona Users, and Tsunagu. Bakugo will receive anger management therapy, and if shown improvement be allowed to join U.A. next year. All three will also be enrolled into Somei Private Academy, and Aldera will be sued, and shut down for dehumanizing the Quirkless, and illegal Quirk Usage. Any objections?"
"No objections, but there is one thing." Bakugo mentioned suddenly.
"Hm? Yes Bakugo?" Nezu asked over interested.
He frowned looking at the group before closing his eyes. "I'm not going to Somei."
That surprised everyone at this while Nezu placed his chin on his fingers looking over. "Oh? And why is that?"
"Old habits, I don't plan on wasting this chance... and if... old instincts come back for Deku or Tetsuo... for good or bad reasons I'm not risking it." Bakugo answered. "If those two are strong enough to make it into U.A. I'll see them there, if not then it just means I was right and they aren't cut out to be heroes."
"Hmm..." Nezu cupped his chin in thought before looking at Mitsuki, and Mr. Bakugo. "Any objections from you two?"
Mitsuki looked over admitting. "Nothing from me. It'll be good if they get some time away from each other so Katsuki can improve. It will also allow them to grow stronger without relying on old friends."
While her husband agrees Izuku stared before he smiled. "Hey Kacchan?" While Bakugo turned his head with narrowed eyes Izuku offers a hand. "Let's both get into U.A. together with Tetsuo."
Bakugo's eyes widened before he slowly took Izuku's hand. "You better prove you can handle it Deku."
"Well, I guess we should go?" Mr. Bakugo asked bowing politely. "We truly appreciate all of this."
"Well just to make sure. With the change of terms where Bakugo will attend a different school, the terms are now set." Nezu smiled over making a change at the terms. "Any objections or questions at these new terms anyone?"
Everyone just smiled and nodded at the terms.
"Alright then we have a deal." Nezu after finishing writing rolled up the sheet, and hands it over to Zenkichi. "Be sure to give that to Tsukauchi so it can be made official Detective."
"Of course." he nodded taking it.
"Okay now with that meeting adjourned. Hope we meet again sometime." Nezu smiled over as everyone moves to raise up. "Hope we meet each other again, and Miss Midoriya let's figure out the best day to decide Izuku's classes with me."
"Yes sir." Inko nodded as they all exit the room as Inko walked to the Kirijo. "I don't know how I can repay you both for this. Thank you." She bowed to them politely.
"You don't have to bow." Fuuka smiled. "We're glad to help."
Mitsuru nodded in agreement before taking a slow breath. "I thought meetings for the Kirijo group were exhausting, but this was something else entirely."
"Well now... since me, and Izuku are living with you both I don't need my job anymore?" Inko asked them before frowning. "But that won't do, I won't sit around. I'd like to be employed on something for you two."
"Well you know about the Personas now." Fuuka cupped her chin before getting an idea turning to Mitsuru. "Oh Mitsuru, I think someone is longed overdue for a promotion right?" Inko widen her eyes hearing that. "Even since they managed to fight through hardships, and know of Personas they be a qualified nurse for our staff right?"
"I'll make the arrangements." Mitsuru smiled at that.
"Uh... thank you!" Inko bowed from this with slight tears as Izuku smiled. Turning around he sees Bakugo looking back, and they gave small waves before Bakugo walked out leaving Izuku to stare behind.
Just then Kikuno walked over. "Miss Mitsuru, Miss Fuuka?" They looked over as she smiled. "The young master's awake."
"Tetsuo?" Fuuka asked running to see her adopted son.
Heading back home they headed to his room finding that Tetsuo is sitting up straight with the family doctor checking him over to make sure of no after effects of head trauma from his Persona being attacked being known before hearing the door, and turned over. Seeing him sitting up Fuuka ran and pulled him into a tight hug.
"Agh! I'm okay Mamagishi." Tetsuo said over with a small smile.
The family doctor stood up smiling to Mitsuru. "After checking over no after effects of head trauma are detected. He should be back to full recovery once he gets some more days to rest, and not train with his Persona in that period. There's also his awakening to consider..."
"I see." Mitsuru nodded.
"I'm... sorry?" they looked seeing Inko, and Izuku who are checking on Tetsuo before packing heard the name. "But... did he call her 'Mamagishi'?"
"Yes, Fuuka's maiden name was Yamagishi." Mitsuru smiled.
"So how does the M wor-" Soon realizing something Inko's mouth made an O, and then nodded over. "Oh I see."
"The doctor said once I get some more rest, I'll be back on my feet Mamagishi." Tetsuo assures Fuuka as he pat her shoulder.
"I know, but... actually I think you should know what happened." Fuuka mentioned as she sat with him. "Ok sweetie?"
"About what?" Tetsuo asked before noticing the Midoriyas, and widen his eyes seeing Izuku. "You! Izuku!"
Izuku smiled softly. "Hi Tetsuo. Good to see your okay."
"Good to see you are too." Tetsuo smiled back before then looking confused. "So... what happened while I was out?"
"That's... a long story." Mitsuru answered as they began to explain the meeting.
Tetsuo nodded over, and ask questions before eventually at the end he softly smiled. "So... the Midoriyas will be our roommates, and we're gonna train being heroes, and our Personas. We'll also head to Somei." He then looked down looking guilty.
"Tetsuo?" Izuku asked being that. "What's wrong?"
"Mom, Mamagishi... I'm sorry." Tetsuo gave a guilty smile as he closed his eyes. "If I didn't ask to be in a public school this probably wouldn't have happened."
"It isn't your fault." Mitsuru reassured him as Fuuka hugged him again.
"We're just glad everything is ok." she whispered.
Tetsuo hugged her back as they stayed in embrace before noticing Inko walking over which he blinked. "So your who helped Izuku?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Oh..." Getting on the urge of crying Inko bowed down. "Thank you so much for helping my boy! I don't know how I can repay you for helping him!"
Tetsuo blinked before smiling placing a hand on her shoulder making her look at him. "Hey there's no need for all of that. I'm just trying to be what a hero does, and help someone when there in need. I know what he's going through, and it wouldn't be right to just look the other way. Besides now we're gonna be working together to be heroes."
Inko sniffed before nodding smiling. "Of course... please promise me you'll be there for Izuku in anyway."
"I cross my heart, and hope to die."
Inko nodded again before turning to Mitsuru. "You should be proud of having someone like him Mitsuru-san."
"I could say the same about you." she smiled.
"And also young man." Tetsuo looked at Fuuka who told him. "You really met Igor?" He softly nodded while Inko, and Izuku looked confused. "We will chat about this another time. We should probably let you rest now."
As if on cue Tetsuo yawned.
"I think we all need some sleep." Mitsuru mentioned turning to Inko. "I'll have someone escort you and your son to the guest rooms?"
"Oh... yes ma'am. Tomorrow me, and Izuku will head back home to start packing. Thank you again." Inko said over to her.
"Of course, good night." Mitsuru smiled softly as Fuuka kissed Tetsuo's forehead and followed her wife.
Once there in there room they changed in there PJs, and Fuuka sat on the edge of the bed sighing. "Oh Mitsuru... that was really frightening..."
"I know... but it's over now... everything will be ok." Mitsuru whispered sitting next to her.
Fuuka sighed as she leaned next to her while Mitsuru rubs her head. They stayed like this for a few minutes before Fuuka suddenly asked. "Mitsuru?"
"Yes?" she asked softly.
"We've been married for a while... but we never explored our love as much as we needed." Fuuka looked over to her with a small blush. "Please... make love to me."
Mitsuru's eyes widened. "I understand, then should I take the lead?"
Fuuka's shy nod was all the confirmation Mitsuru needed before she gently kissed her wife. The camera turned down as both Fuuka, and Mitsuru's tops were thrown on the floor.
bopdog111: Case resolved.
Ulrich362: True, a lot happened... but most of it was to establish what's yet to come.
bopdog111: And we got more events over the next 12 months that will be happening. But to tell you guys Izuku won't be getting One For All this time so we won't be seeing All Might for a while.
Ulrich362: Well... he might cameo in a video or reference since he is the Number 1 Hero but that would be it.
bopdog111: Well next up would be a long training period for Tetsuo, and Izuku together with some school, and Social Links. Will Izuku manage to unlock a Persona soon?
Ulrich362: It's possible.. then again it won't be easy. See you in the next chapter.
