Case file #8: Monoma Neito

"Dear Diary, do you know what dense objects do to each other?

They attract."

"Again? I didn't know anyone of 1-B has been here before. Well, apart from Tokage-san, that is." Izuku whistled. "What did they do?"

"Apart from landing himself here on his first Heroic lesson?" Chiyo sighed. "He splashed a cup of water at one of the business course students for quote unquote, 'insulting his favorite group of actors'."

"That doesn't sound too bad."

"Not to you, he who threw a bucket of toilet water at three other students." Chiyo remarked.

"Three other bimbos." Izuku corrected. "I was very specific about that part on the report. But that doesn't explain why he's serving detention here."

"None of the staff members are available to watch over him. Nezu is enhancing security for the Sport Festival this year. He wants input from every single one of us." Chiyo explained. "You're our best choice, considering what you did last Monday. Good job on that, by the way."

"Thanks. Those 3 hours of detention was fun." Izuku smiled. "Especially with Togeike-san being there. She didn't have to stay, though. Wonder why she did."

"... Are you really asking that question?" Chiyo asked with a disbelief tone. "She- She literally leaned her head on your shoulder!"

"I mean, I told her she can always lean on me whenever she wants." Izuku shrugged.

Chiyo slammed her face onto the table.

"Midoriya!" Setsuna greeted Izuku with a smile. "Finally, someone's who willing to sing 'Rewrite the Stars' with me!"

"I can sing it wit-" A floating hand slammed into Pony's mouth, cutting her off.

"I'm afraid you'll have to wait, Tokage." Neito confidently chuckled. "He and I are performing 'Agony', a perfect song for us!"

" Nuh-uh! " Pony threw Setsuna's hand back at her. "We are doing ' And forever ' from the anime ' Big-O! '"

As the three were arguing for their turn, Togaru handed Izuku a cup of soda.

"Here you go, Doctor Luigi. Sorry for these idiots." Togaru apologized. "They've been at it since yesterday."

"No worries, Kamakiri-san." Izuku chuckled as he accepted the cup. "It's good to see you guys are so close to one another."

Togaru looked over to Setsuna throwing her feet at Pony, who was headbutting Neito with a red face, unclear from anger or embarrassment. The blond copycat struggled to hold Setsuna away from him with his right hand, his left stopping Pony's horn from hitting him.

"Someone has to keep them from getting expelled." Togaru scoffed, hiding his smile from Izuku. "Why do you look so tired, by the way? You can barely stand!"

"Blood lost do that to you." Izuku scratched his head. "A night of sleep will fix it right up. Don't worry."

"Then fucking do that!" Togaru cursed. "I'm not carrying you back if you faint!"

"Aw, I was looking forward to lying on your back." Izuku joked before he showed Togaru the song selection list. "Any song you want?"

"I'm not singing!" Togaru turned away, this time to hide his blush.

"But I want to sing with you..." Izuku dejectedly lowered his head.

"Give me the damn tablet!" Togaru snatched the tablet and searched for a song.

"This is Monoma Neito. I'm here for my detention?"

Izuku lifted his head up from his homework. At the door, a young man with slick blond hair style so it's parted to the right, with his bangs left hanging over his right eyes.

"Ah, Monoma-san." Izuku smiled as he led Monoma to a chair next to him. "Shuzenji-sensei is currently out helping Nezu-sensei. My name is Midoriya Izuku. I'm supposed to oversee your detention."

"I see." Monoma nodded after he sat down. "Midoriya... Midoriya... Are you perhaps the Midoriya who is responsible for the expulsion of three quirkist students?!"

"Three quirkist bimbos." Izuku corrected him. "I was very specific about that part."

"... I just want to say I'm a huge fan."

"Thank you." Izuku smiled. "But I do hope you didn't use me as an example for why you are here?"

"Nope! That's all me!" Neito grinned shamelessly. "I might have overreacted, but no one insults the Antigrafos and walks away uninjured!"

"You're right." Izuku nodded in agreement. "No one should walk away uninjured after committing such a terrible thing."

"I was pretty sure you were agreeing with the overreacted part." Neito smiled brightly at that. "You know the Antigrafos?"

"Of course!" Izuku pulled out his phone. "Their music and plays are sublime! I can't eat without watching their performances. That 'Alice in Wonderland' play last month was top-notch!"

"Always a pleasure to meet a man of culture." Neito's smile got softer at each of Izuku's words. "As much as I love to chat with you about the topic, I do have a few questions I need to ask."

"Shoot."

"Tokage told me about your [Healing Contact]." Neito asked. "Can you tell me about its function? I am something of a quirk nerd."

"Don't worry. I share the same problem." Izuku chuckled. "Demonstration is usually an easier way to explain but to put it simply, I can use my own vitality to speed up the healing process of an injury. Downside is that I need to know exactly what I am doing, and it takes a lot out of me to do it."

"... Do you mind if I have a look?" Neito requested. "My Quirk, [Copy], allows me to scan a Quirk by direct contact and adapt my body accordingly to use it. I understand if you decline, though. A lot of people are weirded out by the aspe-"

"Ohmygodthatssocool!" Izuku jumped forward, closing the gap between him and Neito. "The potential of your Quirk is limitless! Not only can you understand how a Quirk functions through scanning, but your body also adapts to a cellular level so that you can use it. Does it work on Mutation's Quirk? How long does it last? How many Quirks can you scan at once? Does that mean your body also changes in a way that it can adapt to multiple Quirks at once? Are there any drawbacks? Do you also copy Quirk's drawbacks? Can you copy two different Quirks and make them work together without drawbacks? Can you-"

"I'll- I'll explain it soon!" Neito backed away, trying to cough his blush away. "I can copy your Quirk and demonstrate, if you are comfortable?"

"Of course!" Izuku smiled brightly as he extended his hand towards Neito. "Here!"

Neito slowly grabbed Izuku's hand like a handshake. Immediately after the scan, Neito fell onto his knees, his breath hastened, and he could feel every part of his body shaking from the exhaustion that ran through his entire body. Realizing what happened, Izuku quickly helped Neito into a chair before handing him an energy bar. Neito immediately swallowed the bar. After waiting five minutes, Neito could feel the Quirk slowly fading away and his strength returning to him.

"How do you even walk?!" Neito questioned, shaking off the exhaustion. "I've never felt more... dead! The exhaustion I felt after the Entrance Exam is nothing compared to this!"

"You learn to live with it after a while." Izuku shrugged.

"I'm not going through that again just to get used to it." Neito shivered. "The application is simply spectacular, but that feeling..."

"[Cellular Reconstruction]." Izuku explained to Neito. "That's my theory, anyways. Every Quirk counsellor I went to say my Quirk works by transferring my energy to others, assisting them in desired task. It sounds simple enough, so that's what I use to explain to other people."

"Right, because Quirk Counsellor is sooooo trustworthy." Neito rolled his eyes before he focused on Izuku again. "But... you know how your Quirk actually works?"

"It's not possible to use on objects." Izuku clarified. "It only works on anything that is... alive? Biologically speaking, that is. I still haven't figured out why it's more difficult to heal old injuries, though."

"Because the cells of old injuries had already been replaced completely, thus making it harder to revert to its original state?"

"Ooh, that's a good theory." Izuku whistled. "Unfortunately, there's no actual way to test it out. Not one I can think of, anyway."

"A shame." Neito chuckled. "The act of reconstructing cells takes a heavy toll on your body."

"Like I said, you learn to live with it." Izuku chuckled. "Besides, I usually talk to people a lot more before I let them look inside of me."

"I usually try to know more about someone before I let them make me feel weak in the knees, too." Neito grumbled. "There's still two hours left for my detention. Maybe I should rest up a bit before going home."

"Oh, really?" Izuku hummed. "I thought we could do something else."

Seeing Neito's intrigued expression, Izuku showed an evil grin. "This room is soundproof in and out. There's only two of us here for the next few hours. I believe there is something we could do~."

Neito was suddenly very aware of his heartbeats.

"I'm home~!"

She greeted loudly. Immediately, a set of fluffy viridian hair popped out from the kitchen with a smile.

"You're back!" He smiled, making her heart skip a beat. "How was training with Kan-sensei?"

"That man is a slave driver!" she groaned before throwing herself onto the sofa. "Where's Inko-san?"

"She's out with Aunt Mitsuki." He informed. "I already cooked dinner. It's on the table. Please eat after you've taken a bath."

"Is that an invitation?!"

"I already showered." Izuku calmly replied, making her pout. "I'll eat dinner with you. Just wake me up whenever you're hungry."

She watched as Izuku slowly slipped into sleep on the other sofa. She sneakily approached and whispered into his ears.

"I love you, Izuku-chan."

She then stood up and headed for the shower. Before she could leave the room, though, she heard his unconscious reply.

"I love you, too, Himiko-nee."

Himiko giggled as she closed the door quietly.

"You know what Setsuna?" Chiyo sighed. "I want to support everything you do. But if you ask me for tips so you can seduce my assistant-"

"Don't call it seduce!" Setsuna lightly elbowed Chiyo with a red face. "It's... a clarification of admiration!"

Chiyo's only response was poking her cane at Setsuna's back. As the pair reached the nurse's office, Chiyo turned to her grandniece while grabbing the door's handle.

"Your idiots are here. Wait for me to dismiss them."

"Bet my hoodie they're doing something in there."

"Don't be ridiculous." Chiyo scoffed as she slid open the door. "It's been only 3 hours. What could they be do-"

" Lady, I just feel like

I won't get you, out of my mind~. "

Chiyo watched Neito standing on a chair and sang with a pen in his hand as a microphone.

" I feel love, for the first time.

And I know that it's true,

I can tell by the look in your eyes~ ."

She turned to her assistant, who was singing along with a rolled-up notebook in his hand. As the beat continued, the two singing gremlins turned towards her. She could see their eyes widened at the sight of her and Setsuna. Before Chiyo could come up with a response, her grandniece pulled a chair in between them, jumped on it and sang.

" Lady, hear me tonight.

Cause my feeling, is just so right~ ."

Like a sign, they sang together perfectly.

" As we dance, by the moonlight.

Can't you see, you're my delight~. "

And the number of singing goblins increased by one. With a defeated sigh, Chiyo closed the door to her office to prevent the noise from attracting more of their kinds. As Chiyo pulled out her phone to record the scene, she contemplated at the thought of whether she should retire or not.

a.k.a. the entire idea behind this chapter.

A funny haha chapter before the Sport Festival commences. The last two have been pretty serious.

I want to write a musical chapter soon.
