Chapter 37:The Internships Begin!
Stain studied his surroundings, taking careful notice of the existence such as the door and hopefully any possible exists such as windows while also keeping a watchful eye on the two men who had 'invited' him.
"I see... So you're the ones who attacked U.A." He mused, his tone indicated he wasn't impressed.
Kurogiri bowed politely. "Indeed we are. I'm sure you have heard rumours, but we go by the League of Villains."
Stain scoffed."What's left of you anyway..."
"Oi, that's mean..." Shigaraki growled out.
{??: Now, now even with our small numbers, we still hold enough power to make an... impression on the world.} A smug yet powerful voice came from a monitor behind Shigaraki.
Stain narrowed his eyes at the television screen behind the man-child."And who are you supposed to be?"
{??: Oh, I'm just an observer for Tomura. Pay me no mind.} Stain had suspected to be the puppeteer behind this whole operation let out a chuckle.
Stain didn't know why, but he could feel a dangerous aura coming from the voice.
"And since made all the trouble into finding me, you want to add me to your numbers?"
Shigaraki responded with a nod."Yeah. You've got so much more experience as a villain."
"Answer me this... What are you after?"
"Huh?" Shigaraki responded half-heartedly.
Stain glared at him."What's your goal? How can you be an organisation without a goal? Without direction?"
Shigaraki thought about it. Right now, he wanted to kill All Might. He wanted to break everything he hated, but then he thought about Izuku Midoriya player 2.
His eyes turned bloodshot, and Stain could feel the bloodlust coming from Shigaraki. He found himself going for his blades and taking a fighting stance. Shigaraki began scratching himself vigorously. His nails dug into the neck of his skin. Why did Midoriya Izuku irritate him so damn much?
"He's like a damn itch I can't seem to scratch! He annoys me. Everything about him makes my blood boil. Going off about being the next Symbol of Peace, I hate him! Wanting to maintain this garbage society!?" Blood began to draw from his neck.
"That bastard's successor. I hate him so damn much! I want to kill him and his stupid master, I have to kill him before he gets too powerful I'm on a fucking time limit! Every day he gets fucking closer and closer to his fucking goal!"
"I can not, I will not let this second symbol of peace rise!" He spat out like venom, Stain found himself grinning a little
"I refuse for another decade of this garbage society! " Shigaraki then pictured Izuku rising becoming the symbol of peace with that damn smile like his, his nails dug into the neck blood dripping to the floor. He didn't really know why he wanted to kill Midoriya, he was mostly speaking from the twisted depths of his mind.
"No, no, no, I will not spend another minute let alone another fucking 10 or 20 years in this hell! I will kill him, there will be no Symbol of Peace, no hero that will make them feel safe! Then everyone in this garbage society will know how it feels to be me!"
Stain could only grin, even All For One himself was surprised and smiled.
...
"Achoo!!" Izuku sneezed before he was given a tissue by Momo.
"Thank you," Izuku said.
Everyone has their costumes, right?" Aizawa asked. "Some of your costumes have been redesigned, thanks to Melissa Shield the daughter David..."
Izuku's face turned crimson from the names, as some of the girls in class felt a twinge in their hearts, they knew Izuku spoke to Melissa regularly over the phone.
"... Shield, she has redesigned a few of your costumes, they will be more functional, more comfortable and will be adaptable with your quirks. You're the first to get the product make sure to give feedback on your costumes, by the end of the week."
"Yes sir!" They all said.
"Remember you don't have permission to wear them out in public yet, don't lose them or anything."
"So would have Hagakure be in trouble for streaking or wearing her costume in public, if she were her old costume?" Kaminari asked. Hagakure face turned red, as she began to flicker in and out.
"I wanna crawl in a hole," Hagakur0e said as Izuku patted her shoulder and smiled at her.
Aizawa just looked at Kaminari, not sure how to process the question. "... Just be quiet and be respectful, Kaminari."
Izuku still handed on her shoulder, which made her blush before he took it off her cupped her chin. "That's actually a good question... How exactly would her old costume apply to those rules? It would probably be seen as indecent exposure, considering her costume consists of only gloves and shoes. But what if she only wore gloves or shoes?"
Everyone smiled, seeing Izuku mutter up a storm. This was a sign he was getting better. However, Kyouka couldn't let Izuku go on a mutter spree on Hagakure nudity as the girl in question turned invisible, feeling self-conscious.
"Can we please save this conversation for another day?" Aizawa said as Midoriya stopped his muttering.
"Make sure to mind your manners with the heroes you are interning with. This isn't school. You will be learning first-hand at hero work. This could help you on your journey to becoming pros far quicker by leaving an impact on the agency you are interning under. Now off with you." Aizawa finished off.
"Yes, sir!" The whole class yelled.
Iida himself seems to be in his own mind, he seems to conclude something that Izuku suspected that's why he also accepted Gran Torino's offer that ends up being taught under the person who taught All Might couldn't be passed up.
Izuku had suspected Iida would do something stupid, Gran Torino seemed to agree and sent him an invite. As a favour to Izuku, he knew how to deal with someone seeking vengeance. He would've asked All Might, but Gran Torino pointed out that Toshinori wasn't exactly the best when opening up, especially about his past.
"Even if Manual was available, from his track record, the Hero Killer has probably left Hosu City he's on the loose free to do whatever he wants, kill, cripple whoever he sees unfit!" Iida bit lip in frustration blood dripping as he clenched his suitcase in anger.
"Hero Killer, I will find you. One day, I will find no matter how long it takes. And I will end you." Iida thought his expression of determination and rage as he began walking to his train headed for Gran Torino.
"Iida wait!" Izuku called out, Iida stopped in his tracks he didn't want to turn around, and he didn't want his friends to see his expression.
"We heard that Ingenuim is doing better." Momo began.
"We're glad to hear about that, but we wanted to know how you're feeling, Iida." Izuku added." If you want to talk, we're here for you." Izuku added, with Ochako, Tsuyu, and Kyouka nodding in agreement.
There was a moment of silence from Iida before he replied. "Thank you... But I'm fine... These internships should be able to help me clear my head..."
He turned to them with a small smile. "Thank you, though... I'm glad you guys care..." And with that, he turned and walked away to catch his train.
"Do you think he's going to be okay?" Kyouka asked.
Izuku looked down."He's going to Gran Torino... I'm sure he will help him. I'm just happy he isn't going to Hosu." Izuku said.
"You don't think he would have done something stupid, do you?" Ochako asked, to which Izuku answered.
"Someone once told me that, when we lose a loved one we tend to do... things that we wouldn't normally do, I'm sure, given enough time to adjust. I'm sure Iida won't do something... he would regret," Izuku said, looking at his palm.
The girls looked at each other before looking at him."Hey, you know that stuff about talking? That applies to you, too, y'know." Jirou said with a hand on his shoulder.
Izuku gave a small nod before...
"Midorii!!!"
Izuku felt someone slam into his back with the inclusion of two arms wrapping around him."Gwah!!"
He stumbled forward before stopping, then turning and seeing Mina snuggling on his back. If Izuku was being honest with himself, the sudden hug made him feel better. This was noticed by the girls except Ashido herself, who snuggled more into him, bringing a small smile to him.
"Man, it will be a whole week before we can see each other again, Midori! I'm honestly going to miss that adorable side of yours!"
Ochako, Momo, Tsuyu, Hagakure, and Jirou had distraught on their face, one the fact she was hugging Midoriya and two it made him feel better."Wh-What are you doing A-Ashido?" Ochako uttered out.
"Just giving Midori a goodbye hug!" Mina cooed.
"Awww! Look how red he got! So adorable!" Toru got in front of Izuku and pinched his cheeks.
"TWWORU!?" Izuku muffled out as the girl pulled at his cheeks.
Ashido let go of Izuku and walked in front of him."Hey, when we get back, let's exchange stories."
"S-Sure," Izuku said as Mina and Hagakure both left with Izuku smiling a little.
He then felt soft lips on his cheek, making his face turn red. They separated as they quickly came. He turned and saw it was Asui.
"Bye Midoriya-chan," Tsuyu said red hue on his face as she left for her own train, from everyone's point of view Tsuyu's face was still neutral but when she got on the train her knees got weak as she sat down, her own red hue on her face with her chest feeling like it would leap out.
Izuku turned to his friends before Kyouka made a comment that made him blush
"If you're expecting me to kiss, you keep dreaming, Broccoli boy," Kyouka said while twirling her jacks.
"I-I- wasn't..." Izuku's face turned as he didn't have respond to that bold claim.
"I think it's best I kept my lips off you." Momo said before wrapping her arms around him, as she pressed her body on him, giving him a tight hug."Hope this will do instead."
Izuku's face turned blood red, being given this much from the opposite attention, the boy was surprised that he was still conscious.
Ochako blushed she wanted to at least hug Dekiru herself but her nerves got the best of her and she chickened out.
"Izuku Midoriya, Izuku Midoriya!" The class turned to a man in a suit. He was running towards the class calling out Izuku he seemed to be urgent.
"I'm glad I caught you--"
Aizawa, who seemed to come out of nowhere, stood in front of Midoriya and raised his hand to halt the man.
"What is your business? My students are in a hurry. Don't waste their time." Aizawa said with a glare. He had noticed the man when the class arrived at the station.
"Ah, yes..." He seemed to be slightly annoyed.
The man bowed. "I'm from the Hero Public Safety Commission."
Aizawa raised an eyebrow as the students perked up.
"HPSC? What do they want?" Momo asked in concern
"That doesn't explain why you waited till now to speak with him. You were here for the last 20 minutes, were hoping to speak with my student without a teacher present?"
"Of course not! The fact you would accuse me of such an underhanded tactic."He chuckled before shaking his head in disappointment.
"I just didn't want his other classmates to be jealous of the purpose we're offering him." Kyouka could hear the man's heart beat faster. He was lying.
Aizawa glared. "Make your pitch, then leave Miruko is not a patient woman."
"Midoriya, we are disappointed you didn't accept our invitation, I'm sure you have your reasons. But -" The man was suddenly cut off by Izuku.
" Huh?! The Hero Public Safety Commission sent me a request!? "Izuku asked, surprised he's eyes with sparkles. This made the man a little surprised.
" Ah, it seems our request never made it to you. "He turned to Aizawa.
"You wouldn't have kept his request from us hidden from him, did you?" He asked, Aizawa shrugged.
"Seems it might have gotten lost in the mail," Aizawa said he honestly didn't know what happened to their request he would ask Nezu about it later. A student should make their own decision.
" Yes, 'lost' without of the way, Midoriya if you ever feel U.A. isn't... Good enough for you, I'm sure you feel your talents are wasted in that school. The recent villain attack is proof that it has clearly declined in quality." This made the four widen in surprise UA. The most prestigious school in Japan arguably the world.
"I mean, just look at last year. Your beloved homeroom teacher expelled an entire class, and in his entire career as a teacher, he has expelled 150 students for not having...' potential'."
Izuku thought about it and thought about Fuwa, "I know Aizawa's methods can be...excessive but Fuwa seems to have been motivated maybe and since they weren't really expelled I'm sure there isn't any harm."
Aizawa didn't deny anything. He seemed to look at the man with a lack of interest.
The four students looked at each other in concern before Momo spoke up." Those were all bluffs. No one actually got expelled. "
"True. But they still have the marks on the records." The man said he smiled, not once disappearing.
Momo gasped before turning away and looking down. Izuku, Ochako, and Jirou seem a little confused about that.
"How can one man judge if so many students have potential very illogical if you ask me."He then handed HSPC business cards to the four students, and he bowed.
" Thank you for your time. "
They bowed in return before quickly heading to their." Oh, and Midoriya, I hope you know that if you decide to join us, Katsuki Bakugou will receive the adequate punishment he deserves."
This made their four-stop, Ochako looked confused."Adequate punishment?"
Izuku stopped and turned around, with a blank look. He didn't know how to respond to that. He wasn't sure if Bakugou's punishment deserved the attention of their HPSC.
"What?" He asked blankly.
"We heard what happened to you at Aldrea, and you can rest assured in knowing we are working hard to find Kevin Levin." The man said with confidence,
Izuku's face went from blank to relief. "You... are?
He nodded."I shouldn't take your time anymore." He soon left without saying a word.
Soon, everyone began to board their train, and Izuku, knowing his friend, was being searched for made him smile.
Izuku smiled a little a few minutes passed as his train was soon coming he suddenly felt his tie grabbed and pulled down he widened as he felt two soft lips press onto his cheek, he's face quickly became red. After a few seconds of the kiss the girl who was on her tiptoes lowered and let go of his tie.
He turned and saw it was Jirou who dashed off to her train without saying a word, leaving a blushing and confused Izuku.
...
Izuku walked out of the train alongside a fee of other passengers. He yawned as he walked out. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed a familiar ginger hair with tilted eyes and a U.A. uniform sitting on the bench, typing on her phone.
"Itsuka?" Izuku asked himself as he walked up to her, Itsuka hearing footsteps looked up from her phone and straightened up before standing up.
"Hey Izuku," She said as she twirled a bit. The girl had a grin on her face.
"Uhm... what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at your internship?"
"I'm headed to that now, I'm just waiting for someone who I'll also be interning with," Kendo said, her grin not faltering.
"Really? Who?"
"Oh, you might know him. He has green hair, green eyes is a kinda of a dork," Itsuka said with a bit of a twirl.
"Wait, you're going with Setsuna?! Cool!" Kendo seems to get a cross vein as she playfully karate chops to his head.
"No stupid. I'm going with you!" Izuku rubbed his head before processing what she said and gained an astounded look of excitement and surprise.
"You're going to Miruko too?!" Izuku asked in shock.
"Yep!" The girl said, almost hoping 2ith excitement.
"So this entire week, I'll have you all to myself," Itsuka said, making Izuku slightly. Itsuka realized how that made have come off.
"Aah!! I-I didn't mean it like that! I just meant we're gonna be training together, y'know?" Kendo said in a panic before Izuku chuckled.
Izuku then remembered something with all the craziness he the date that he had planned had slipped his mind. Though Kendo didn't bring it up and she seemed to be normal around him.
"Hey, uhm..." Izuku said awkwardly as they began walking to Miruko's agency.
"Yeah, what's up?" Itsuka asked. She could see he wanted so something as he was clearly fidgety while they walked.
"Sorry," Izuku said.
"For what?"
He blushed a little before shaking his head."I planned our date, and I even asked you out but...I didn't come through."
Itsuka blushed. In all honesty, she was excited but knowing what he was going through she was more concerned about him and it also slipped her mind."O-Oh, no it's okay, you're going through a lot, I can't even imagine what you're going through."
Izuku nodded."Maybe after...our internships?" Izuku said with awkwardly shaking a bit, Itsuka turned away she didn't want him to see her clearly flustered face.
"If you're up to it. I don't want to force you into doing anything you're uncomfortable with."
"I won't. It should be fun, less aliens more hopefully just us being friends." Izuku looked at Kendo seem to have no expression before Izuku fell into a panic.
"N-Not that I'm saying I just want to be friends with you I-I just meant that we could do what friends do, please don't misinterpret what I said, "
"Pfft!"
"Huh?"
The girl began to giggle, before laughing a little.
"What so funny?" Izuku asked innocently.
"W-Well it's just good to see be your old self again. I missed this, you being a flustered doofus."
"Hey, I'm not a doofus that's mean!"
"And adorable flustered doofus."
"I-I..." Izuku's face turned red before the girl giggled before they began to continue their walk.
When they first arrived they didn't think the building screamed top pro hero. It was humble, to Izuku's and Kendo's shock.
"For a top pro, it's not what I expected."
"Yeah, I thought she would have a building that screamed 'I'm a top pro hero, I'm not one to be messed with!!.'" Izuku said making a good impression of Miruko, making Itsuka snort and hold in a laugh.
"Pfft! Ahem. To be fair, she's more into the action rather than publicity." Itsuka suggested, to which she agreed that she didn't want the fame, she wanted to help people. Something Izuku and her share.
"Hm... Come to think of it she rarely appears on interviews, I'm pretty sure she bolted one to stop a villain miles away." Izuku said to which Itsuka nodded.
"Well let's head in!!" Kendo said throwing her fist into the air.
"Yeah!!" Izuku shouted in the same pose, as Izuku grabbed the door knob.
"Hello, Miss Miruko!! We are here for the work-study!!" Izuku and Itsuka exclaimed heroically.
...
Momo slowed to a stop before she took the front of the building in front of her.
The Fat Gum Agency was a large building with a rounded roof located between two others.
The main facade of the building is decorated to mimic the appearance of Fat Gum himself. The upper part looks like the BMI Hero's face, with a black area representing his mask with two round windows simulating his eyes. Below this area, there is a row of windows positioned so nearby citizens would recognize the smile.
The bottom of the facade has the initials of Fat Gum alias, with an F and an inverted F on the sides and a G surrounding the entrance door.
The words 'Fat Gum' are posted just between the initials as well. On the left side of the building, there is a decorative element that represents Fat Gum's arm holding a takoyaki ball.
Momo took a moment and took a deep breath in before she stepped inside, she looked around and saw a fairly round woman clicking away at her laptop.
"Hello," Momo said to the woman who looked up and recognized the raven-haired teenager.
"Oh, Momo Yaoyorozu yes we have been expecting you." She said as she stepped out of her desk.
I'm Shinohara Madoka, the receptionist! Here, I have a badge for you, and then you should go up towards Fat Gum's office! He should be ready for you just about now!"
Momo grinned, feeling as if Shinohara's enthusiasm was infectious! As she took the badge, she bowed. "Thank you so much!"
"Of course! I hope you enjoy your time with us, Yaoyorozu!"
Momo nodded as she stepped into the elevator with a determined smile.
...
"They're really into the whole ninja thing huh?" Kyouka thought as she walked towards the elevator.
The girl stepped into the elevator as she was designated to the top floor of Edgeshot's agency. The girl was shaking in a mixture of excitement and anxiety. She gulped as the elevator came to a stop. The doors opened and she stepped.
"Hello. Uh, um Kyouka Jirou I'm here for the internship," She said to the eerily quiet room. She looked around the room, the place resembled a Japanese dojo. The floor was made out of tatami, the walls and pillars of the room were made of wood, and the doors were even panel-like fashion.
The painting hung on the world she stopped at a certain painting, and she raised an eyebrow as this one felt misplaced, the painting seemed to be a wizard, he had what looked like a talisman around his neck, each with their markings. She looked down at the painting and saw an inscription.
"Charms of bezel." Kyouka pondered before she heard some rustling she jolted and looked around, she turned to the bonsai trees, she tried to focus on her hearing when a Kunai was sent flying her way, she widened before she stumbled away scratching her cheeks, as she fell on her butt. "Ow."
"It seems you have more to learn than I thought." She heard a voice from behind she turned around to a kunai on her neck, and she gulped. As she saw a slim and muscular man, his height would be around 5 feet and 7 inches, or at least the same height as Kirishima maybe taller than Kaminari.
He had grey hair shaped into three sharp points that covered the right side of his face and dark grey eyes. wearing a mask over his lower face covering his nose and mouth. Shinya's hero costume looked like a traditional ninja.
Shinya sports red shinobi shozoku underneath a blue robe. His arms are covered in a thin, dark cloth that tucks into his white forearm sleeves. There are red straps attached to his belt and his robe that extend outward.
Shinya has a gold mask attached to his right shoulder and sports a signature red scarf with a white patch attached to the front. Shinya finishes his costume with blue socks and yellow Zori sandals.
"Welcome Kyouka Jirou. I have been waiting for you."
...
So this the place right?" Itsuka asked entering the modest building.
"Uh-huh," Izuku said pulling out his phone to make sure.
"Maybe she's on the upper floors?" Itsuka suggested, to which Izuku looked around and found a staircase, he looked to see if there was an elevator, but to his surprise, they weren't.
"Guess we're taking their stairs," Izuku said as Itsuka groaned before they began walking up their stairs, as they made it around the third floor and began looking around Izuku's danger sense went off, he activated full cowl as he leapt and dodged a flying kick, he looked and saw Miruko crouching with a grin.
Itsuka looked surprised as she saw Izuku activate a full cowl out of nowhere before Miruko attacked him and he dodged it.
Kendo alerted to the danger as she was faced with Miruko who only grinned as she looked at Itsuka.
"You're not fast will work on that, but first let's see how much you can take!" Miruko launched herself, Miruko was way too fast, and Itsuka had no way of dodging as she placed her arms in an X position and she felt the powerful kick of Miruko land.
"Oh? I'm holding back but you can still take it?" She twirled before sending an axe kick to her, to Miruko's surprise she grabbed her leg before tossing her who landed on the wall crouching down.
Itsuka panted as she rubbed her arms."Those kicks aren't no joke, she could've shattered my arms, and she was holding back?!"
Miruko backflipped waving her hair before giving a confident grin."You're both pretty strong, I'm a little impressed not just anyone can take my kick," She said to Kendo who blushed and bowed.
"Thank you!"
She turned to Izuku."But almost no one has dodged my attack, especially one they weren't expecting, your instincts are pretty good."
Izuku smiled. "Thank you." Miruko raised an eyebrow before looking Izuku up and down before she walked around him and put a finger to her chin.
"Huh? Are you sure you're the same wimpy kid I met last year?" Miruko asked with a grin, to which Izuku tilted his head in confusion.
"For starters, you are not shaking like a scared bunny, you're not stuttering, you're carrying yourself with a little more confidence, " Miruko said to which Itsuka looked in surprise even Izuku didn't think he had changed that much he still stuttered
"Oh, right, I spent so much time with him I almost didn't notice how much he had changed," Itsuka thought, a small blush on her cheeks remembering the quivering and shaking kid she had met a year ago who barely could stand up for himself to now who can confidently stand proudly in front of the number 7 hero.
"Uhm, Miss Miruko..."
"Just Miruko is fine."
"O-Oh right, Miruko how come you offered us an internship, I mean don't get me wrong is just you don't like working with people, you're one of the only top pro heroes who doesn't even have sidekicks."
"I respect strength, and you both got it, and the fact you both accepted me shows you got guts, plus you both intrigued me." Izuku and Itsuka both felt a sense of pride when she said that.
"Plus the hero commission has kinda forced me to at least have one internship," Miruko said with a chuckle. Their sense of pride was immediately thrown out of the window.
"Now, I can gather what's Kendo's quirk a mixture of super strength and the fist enlarging." Itsuka nodded before demonstrating her quirk.
"But you got me completely stumped. From speed that leaves everyone in their dust, to strength that shatters the arena, and even without your transformations, your speed and strength both impressed."
Izuku pondered Miruko already knows he was quirkless."W-Well my quirk allows me to transform into different alien forms each with their own abilities, and it also allows the super strength, but my quirk has a major backlash, it's so strong that breaks my bones when I use it, or at least when I go over 16%. "
"The baggy clothes hide it, but he is stacked. I saw it first-hand that Quirk has a major backlash, it would make sense if it only appeared till he could handle it. Not the first late bloomer I've seen. still nice to know he grew a backbone." Miruko thought.
"While you're here there will be a lot for you to learn. Since you chose my agency I'll imagine you want to get better at using kicks." Izuku surprised nodded. She turned to Itsuka.
"And you probably want to get stronger too." Itsuka nodded.
Miruko then began to walk, and they both followed her, they followed a couple of stairs, Izuku wanted to question why didn't have an elevator, but looking at her thighs it was probably to get as much exercise as possible. Izuku blushed before looking away realizing he was looking at her thighs.
"I'm sure you already saw most of the facilities, seeing you were both headed to the fourth floor, I'll give a detailed explanation of everything when we start using them. The fifth floor is the office space, and above that is the roof. Here on the fourth floor is the main living area, the kitchen and the dining room are off to the left. And your room will be on the right." To which the two staggered back.
"W-Wait did you say room? Like singular?" Izuku asked
"Huh? Yeah. Sorry, I had to make room for training space and I didn't think I would need more than the other space."
Izuku and Itsuka blushed heavily, both their faces turned crimson."S-So will be sharing a room?"
"Huh? Of course not! You're both hormonal teenagers itching to bang one out like hell I'm letting you share a room! You will be sharing with me Kendo."
"O-Oh," They both said looking away from each other with an embarrassed blush.
"We will do a light patrol around the neighbourhood in the evening. For now, put on clothes for exercise that you won't mind getting dirt, sweat and maybe blood if you're lucky. I was on my way to work out some frustrations, but now that you're here we can change that up. Meet me in the kitchen when you're done."
...
"Sir, are you all right?!" Tenya said, ramrod stiff and ready to help. "Do you require assistance?"
"I dropped my lunch, oopsie dazzy silly old me," the old man said. Upon closer inspection, he was in a puddle of ketchup and sausages, rather than blood and gore.
"Who are you?" The old man asked.
"Tenya Iida, sir! You are Gran Torino, I presume?" Tenya asked, standing straight up posture.
The man cocked his head to the side, "Tentarou? Is that you?"
"No sir, Tenya Iida!" Tenya was a little unsettled by that. Was he hard of hearing?
"I need to make a new lunch," The man said, seemingly ignoring the boy, collecting his spilled food, before turning back and once again asking, "Who are you?"
Tenya paused. He didn't what to do, what were the protocols when your teacher was senile? Were there any? He took out his phone and began to search desperately for answers.
At which point, the old man went to the case that Tenya brought, "Is this your costume, kid?" Tenya squawked and tried to retrieve the case, but the man said, "Put it on and see if you can't hit me."
Tenya worried the man was senile and clearly underestimating the man in front of him.
"Sir, I do not believe that you should be-" Tenya began to lecture when a sudden kick knocked his breath away as he was sent flying through the hallway.
"Damn, for a kid whose heirs the name Iida and has carried the mantle of Ingenuim for generations, you are painfully stiff." Gran Torino said as Iida began coughing trying to get air into his lungs.
"It's been a while since I've sparred with Tentarou's boys," He chuckled as Iida looked up the previous senile man suddenly became threatening. "Hope you can bring the same drive and determination they did. C'mon kid show me what you got."
Tenya quickly realized he had been referring to his own grandfather, Tentarou Iida, a Hero named Idaten, the first hero in his family.
"Ah, I see, you were trying to get me to-"
Tenya was met with a swift kick to his face.
...
[Centre of Tokyo Japan: Best Jeanist Agency]
"What..." Bakugou gritted his teeth.
"What the hell..." His hands were clenched into fists.
"Perfectly honest with you. I don't like you very much." A man said to Bakugou who was currently in his Hero costume, and bound by threads the man was currently manipulating.
"Huh?"
"I know fully well why you chose my agency. Because I'm one of the most popular pro heroes, correct?"
"Hey, you're the one who made an offer to me," Bakugou said anger in his tone.
"Yes, so I did. I'm sure you expected me to teach you ways to grow stronger and improve your quirk or something along those lines?"
Bakugou just narrowed his eyes as he gritted his teeth."So you baited me?"
"I figured gaining more strength after your defeat..."
Bakugou visibly got more angry when his defeat was mentioned as he clenched his fist but Best Jeanist paid no mind to it.
"...Well I hate to break it to you but that's not going to happen while you're here."
That's when Bakugou had enough. "Then let me go you jeanist freak! I'm not going to stay here and waste my time getting lectured!"
Best Jeanist gently straightened his own hair. "Recently, I've only been getting good little kids to work with me, but when I watched you in the spots festival your arrogance, brutality... I knew I was going to have to fix you myself... But when I saw you're fighting with Midoriya it disgusted me." Best Jeanist said. To which Bakugou looked visibly confused and angry.
"Huh?! That nerd won!"
Best Jeanist then replayed the clip of Bakugou repeatedly exploding Deku's back with no remorse, he was clearly saying something but their cameras couldn't pick it up.
"The way you seem to enjoy inflicting pain onto others, how you think you feel entitled to everything was appalling, to say the least."
"Tch."
"But your true character was revealed with Midoriya, I made sure to get his file I was more than curious, turns out you both attended the same school, from a glance you both seem like rivals, but on closer inspection, it's far from the truth," Jeanist said looking Bakugou in the eyes who only scoffed.
"I have to correct people like you. It's not only my duty as a hero, but to society. If I leave you like this it will lead to devastating results within your near future. We're all cut from the same cloth, I don't care if you're a villain or a hero, it's your actions that tell your story."
Bakugou glare only intensifies.
"I saw your abilities, you have splendid control over your quirk with such high potential, having a good grasp on it and fighting marvellously with it. I would even say you already have enough potential to make a sidekick."
"A sidekick like hell!!"
He sighed as he closed his eyes."But your combat is the only note-worthy thing about you... you have the potential to be a combatant but not a hero."
Bakugou could only struggle in his bindings glaring at him. No one has ever told him he can't be a hero, "How dare he? I have more potential than anyone!"
"That and your fatal flaw a devastating one. "
He opened his eyes."Your belief that you are the best."
"Your belief that you are the best."
"All you seem to think about is yourself. You desire to portray yourself as the strongest among everyone and this results in getting violent when you believe that someone is looking down on you. Your fight with Sero proves that. So eager to prove yourself as the strongest you blasted him to prove your own strength."
"But from what I saw the fight in Midoriya has put you in your place."
Bakugou's eyes shot open and the pupils shrunk.
"For the first time someone who you view as 'Deku' is that correct? Has beaten you. Your pride has been shaken, and the pedestal you have placed yourself on is slowly crumbling, as you come to the grips you may not be the strongest."
Bakugou only snarled in boiling rage, a vein could be seen.
"Since your pride is so fragile right now, I'll be educating you on how to be a proper pro. How you should talk, the way you act, controlling your emotions, especially that untampered anger, with the state you're in now you could attack your classmate just to prove you're the strongest, just to stroke your own fragile ego. No, I will not have that. I'll show you what a true hero is, one that people need. One you're straying away from."
Bakugou in anger. Gritted his teeth, as he remember how Kaminari spoke of Miruko being a battle craze heroine, "Dammit I came to the wrong hero! While that bastard gets stronger at Miruko I'm going to be stuck here!!"

[Miruko agency]
The three entered the kitchen, Izuku was in a black T-shirt that had the kanji for strength, with black shorts, and Itsuka was in yellow shorts, with a dark blue tight workout shirt. Miruko had prepared some food for both of them."I'm not sure they'll like this but they going to need the fuel for the day guess they'll just have to suck up and eat my terrible cooking."
She had made them a simple rice bowl and light miso soup, when it was finished she placed it on the table for both of her interns. Kendo and Izuku plopped down into a chair and politely thanked her for the meal.
"Thank you for the meal." They both said she smirked.
"Don't thank me, you haven't tried it." She said under her breath.
Itsuka smiled as she began to her set out portion, Izuku was only surprised the girl wasn't geeking out. The first time he ate a meal prepared by All Might he was geeking out for a week.
"Mmm, this is pretty good," Izuku said while chewing her food, Itsuka thought the same enjoying her meal. Miruko was surprised but didn't show it, instead gained a small smile knowing Izuku enjoyed her food, before a victorious smirk came and she took on a professional expression.
"Now eat up, there's a lot for both of you two learn while you're here. We can go over some stuff while you eat, mostly what it means to be a Hero. Most people equate the job to a civil servant, and they're not far off, aside from higher ranked Heroes like me it's mostly all commission and effort-based payment."
"Er... I kinda thought would be doing more hero stuff like fighting villains and stuff" Itsuka said, to which Miruko blinked before smirking a little.
"Oh, I see eager to get into the action? Maybe if we get lucky on patrol you could fight some robber or something, but hate to burst your bubble, but since this were primarily stationed villains gained brain cells and tried to avoid this place as best they could, that's why I'm always hoping city to city, "
"Oh, right wherever a top pro hero is stationed, the crime rate of their city drops dramatically," Izuku stated, to which Miruko nodded before sighing.
"That's why kinda miss being the underdog, villains would take their shot against me, and more people come after you thinking your easy picking but when you reach their top, villains take measures to avoid fights against you, and no one is going into a losing battle," Miruko said as her ears dropped a little.
Izuku thought about it, and as a villain fighting a top pro hero has too many risks, your normal villain has no chance of winning, and if somehow you do beat a top pro you will just get more to come after you.
"Trust me with Izuku here trouble will come like a moth to a flame." Itsuka said, to which Miruko perked up, while Izuku gained a red hue."Hey! I'm not a trouble magnet!"
"Really? I don't know if you have been keeping track but shit hits the fan every time you are involved."
"Oh come on, Itsuka," Izuku said with a red hue of embarrassment, to which and embarrassed both fighting nutcase thought was cute.
"Oh, yeah your homeroom teacher said I should watch like a hawk apparently you're kinda some troublemaker," Miruko said to which Itsuka had to resist laughing as Izuku looked at her with a betrayed look.
"Ah, man," Izuku said, Itsuka giggled a little while Miruko snorted.
"Okay, jokes aside. Hope you both enjoy your meal, it will be the last one I'll be making you from here on out. You will both be doing most of the grunt work, you will cook the meals, buy the ingredients and wash all the clothes. You will figure out who does what among yourselves. Aside from learning to be better heroes you will be my errand boy and girl." She expected some denial or exasperation, Izuku and Itsuka turned to each other and gave each other a nod.

[League of Villains hideout]
Stain withdrew his blade and pointed at Shigaraki. "It seems my interest wasn't in vain." He grinned before he began to stare daggers at Shigaraki who responded in kind.
"But you're still foolish, right now you're still a child throwing a tantrum, but I see potential. Killing you would be a waste, you might bring actual change to this society."
Kurogiri looked intensely at Stain and could feel the murderous aura coming from him. The air felt heavy between Shigaraki and Stain before it they were interrupted by the monitor.
{??: Hero killer apologies for my rude interruption but let's suppose my curiosity has been peeked you could say.}
Stain raised an eyebrow.
{??: You mysteriously vanished for about two weeks and when you return you are visibly faster and stronger, being able to no less than 40 heroes, a quite impressive feat.}
Stain understanding his query."It's not what it seems, I was ambushed by a group that refers to themselves as Forever Knights..."
"Forever Knights? They sound like a bunch of fodder villains." Shigaraki said he stopped scratching his neck.
"Shigaraki don't dismiss them. They could be a dangerous foe." Kurogiri admonished lightly.
{??: Forever Knights? Mhm Doctor it seems you're old friends seem to still be kicking.}
A new voice was heard from the monitor.{Doctor: Oh, yes they were an interesting group, but when they discovered that I was trying to find ways to combat the Quirk singularity they banished me, }
"They took me to the headquarters, they said they were fond of my method and ideology, my conviction inspired them, but they say currently I was far too weak to realize my goals," Stain said with a clenched fist. The air grew heavy, and somewhat tense as he regaled the story.
"They tore my body over and over ripping it apart, again and again," His tone was rageful making Kurogiri flinched.
"Eventually after they tore me apart they put me back together, I was stronger, faster, and my vision is far more precise." He pulled out his blade and smelled the faint scent of blood.
"I can now move at inhuman speed and my reaction is far from what I could do before in ways I would thank them, with this new body I can kill the fakes that this world is filled with. My blade will scorned with the blood of the fake heroes!"
With that declaration, the monitor's wavy static grey faded to reflective black as communications died out. On the other side, a humanoid figure relaxed in his chair and looked perplexed before he turned to the Doctor, the doctor was a fairly old man of a portly and short stature. He was completely bald and had a very bushy moustache.
"Doctor Garaki is there a reason you cut the communications?" All For One asked a hint of malice in his tone.
"It was only one way master we can still hear everything, but I fear I have some concerns. It's about Shigaraki." The Doctor said with a serious tone.
"Oh? Speak." All For One said as he his arm to support himself.
"You have pursued One For All for nearly nine generations, we are aware Midoriya has One For All,"
"Yes?"
"Why let Tomura go on with his goal? He plans on killing the boy, why not admonish him? He has One For All and the Omnitrix is far too valuable to kill, we cannot allow such a valuable piece just to fulfil this boy's bloodlust." Garaki said, to which the demon lord found amusement in as he let off a small chuckle.
When he said this All For One chuckled, and laughed a little before shaking his head."At Shigaraki's current level, his chances of killing Midoriya are nonexistent."
Garaki had watched the Sports Festival and himself had to admit the boy was powerful."True."
"Now when he receives All For One, and he's let go of his mental shackles then I would certainly favour his likelihood. But even then he will be consumed with the desire to take One For All so killing Midoriya outright isn't probable."
"I suppose so." Garaki said typing away at his computer before a question entered."What about the Omnitrix?"
"With One For All I spent the majority of my long life to find ways to take it, if it were just One For All it wouldn't be an issue. Weaken the boy's will, with Shigaraki's growing anger and bloodlust for the boy, his pure hatred would rip out One For All. So now I'll let Shigaraki stew in his hatred, as he tries every strategy to kill Midoriya and fails. In the process we also weaken his will and make him feel alone, and someone like Midoriya I can read that boy like a book just from the sports festival alone." All For One said with some amusement in his tone.
However, his tone turned dangerous."But the boy has the Omnitrix I can't let just vast power be wasted on such a foolish boy, the thought makes me sick." He said Garaki could see what could be interrupted as a scowl.
"The device on his wrist is powerful but also bound to him, we have no clue on how to remove their device, we do not have their means to remove it, it's bound to that foolish child." He spat. Garaki however gave his suggestion.
"Can't we sever the boy's arm?" This made All For One chuckle.
"You think someone who created something as powerful as the Omnitrix wouldn't take measures against cutting off the wielder's arm?" Garaki thought about it before realizing they were probably measures against such an action. Before he offered another suggestion
"Have the boy give us the device?"
All For One scoffed."The boy is a novice at best with their device he has no control. Even if we tortured his loved ones, he wouldn't be able to remove the device."
"Though removing the device seems to impossible for us." Garaki sighed, he also wanted to get a closer look at the device on his wrist.
"Who knows, maybe I'll use him as a... vessel instead of Shigaraki." Before he chuckled, he died down, and he remained dangerously quiet and made a "Hm." The doctor seemed concerned by this statement.
"Master?"
"Oh, come now, doctor. I may be the demon lord but I am allowed to joke then and now." All For One he's smiling never leaving.
"Thinking of ways I can obtain the Omnitrix and One For All it has stumped me, to say the least. But till then will just monitor the boy's progress, you know the old saying keep your friends close and enemies closer." All For One said with his smile never leaving his scared face.
"Speaking of which... Have you found the quirk we spoke of?" All For One said, to which Garaki perked up.
"Oh! Yes! I found him a detective, named Raye Iwamatsu He lives in Japan the Yamagata prefecture and he has a wife and two kids with a third on the way, his quirk is exactly what we were looking for." Garaki stated looking at the picture of the man's question.
"Mhm. Guess will just have to wait for an opportunity to take it ourselves or..." He looked at the monitor with Shigaraki and Stain, who seemingly began to talk."... create one ourselves."
