Chapter 64: Bits of downtime.
"Now that All Might is no longer with us, we need new heroics teachers. Until then, homeroom teachers will have to do."
"Teachers?" Everyone was surprised.
"Yes, at least two of them. HPSC will send Hawks to educate children and "keep an eye" on them. I can't get rid of him, but I can dilute his potential influence by forcing him to share the role with another hero. Thankfully, late All Might's generous donation to UA lets us not worry about financial aspect of this question. Any suggestions?" Principal asked his staff.
"Endeavor. He's got plenty of experience from teaching his sidekicks, not to mention his remarkable control over his quirk." Vlad King said.
"These are valid reasons. Truth be told, he was my first idea too. However, given his title as the new Number One Hero, he is currently too busy trying to calm down the public to spend time with us."
"I have briefly seen Gran Torino during the forest raid. The short time Iida has spent with him led to a dramatic improvement in his maneuverability. You said he was also Yagi's mentor, right? Perhaps we convince him." Eraserhead suggested.
"I must admit that young Mineta's skills also improved under him." 1B homeroom teacher confessed.
"Believe it or not, he was also among my first ideas. Sadly, he told me he is way too tired to work for extended periods of time. I'll try to make him come for a visit every once in a while."
"Fat Gum seems like a good candidate." Cowboy said. "The fellow has experience working with police and underground heroes while primarily focusing on limelight. Frankly, I think having hero within top 50 rankings instead of top 1 might be beneficial for students' expectations. Most of them won't reach top 10 anyway, regardless of how much they try. Toyomitsu-san will let them know how to do best with a moderately good quirk." Hero instinctively tapped his revolver.
"I've never seen you two interact, Snipe. How do you know him so well?" Cementoss wondered.
"Two students have approached me to recommend him: Amajiki and Yaoyorozu. Upon closer inspection, I've come to agree with their reasoning."
"I nominate Sir Nighteye." Ectoplasm put the bespectacled hero's photo on the table. "He helped young Togata go from a laughing stock during his 1st year to a powerhouse that leads the UA's big three right now. He and young Midoriya were insistent on his inclusion."
"I'd say Best Jeanist would be a great choice." Midnight voiced her opinion. "Heroics are as much about image as they are about action these days. Fiber Hero has fantastic control over his quirk, experience in teaching and experience in promoting himself. I'm sure students would love him."
"Well, I don't have a concrete opinion on this matter." 13 scratched her head. "But Nejire Hado from the big three asked me to nominate the Dragon Hero. She said that Tatsuma-san is an awesome hero who deserves to be number one in everyone's hearts. I'm quoting her, by the way."
"This seems like a surface level praise, to be honest." Nezu had to admit.
"Like I said, I am simply a massager." Space hero shrugged.
"Ha ha. I almost want to hire Ryukyu just so to see young Hado excited."
"How about a hero from a different country? Like Star and Stripe?" Power Loader made a suggestion.
"Interesting idea. I know that she respect AM a lot, so that could be used to convince her. She also knows Japanese, so we won't have to worry language barriers. I don't know if she has relevant experience, though. Plus, Uncle Sam might not let his best hero leave the country for years, but I'll see what I can do."
"A student from 1B asked me to vouch for Kamui Woods…"
"Onto another topics. We need to make a restricted entry card for the Rabbit Hero."
"Why?" Excavation hero asked.
"Young Midoriya has agreed to spar with her on school grounds occasionally. I don't see a problem with this, as long as she complies with UA rules where she's here."
"That reckless girl will try to break both of them, won't she?" Recovery girl sighed.
"Cheer up, Chiyo!" Rat giggled. "You'll only have to worry about one of them."
"Curse you and your contracts, Nezu!"
"Higari, the Shield girl is officially part of you course now. Try to make a positive first impression."
"With likes of Mei Hatsume? That's impossible."
Melissa was walking towards the support workshop with Izuku. A conveniently timed explosion forced the green head to cover her with his body. The blast force sent them backwards. Midoriya was bleeding.
"Oh my God! Are you ok?"
"Yeah… I just need medical attention."
"Hey!" The pink haired girl waved from the room. "You are that guy… What's your name again."
"It's Izuku Midoriya." 1A President elbowed the girl.
"Yaomomo? What are you doing here?"
"Research." The raven haired girl grinned. "Hi Melissa."
"Hi."
"Have you two discuss support equipment?" Mei asked.
"No. I… I just was just showing this new girl the building." He pointed at the blonde.
"Hello! I'm Mei Hatsume from UA support course."
"Melissa Sheild… also from support course."
"Oh, so you are a baby maker to?"
Shield imagined her hypothetical children for a moment before remembering Green head's warning.
"Right. You call inventions babies. I am an inventor, just like you."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Hatsume grabbed the girl and grabbed her into the workshop. "Progress does not tolerate distractions!"
Izuku slowly walked to the doctor.
"Soon there will be a provisional license exam. We have to make gear that will blow every other school out of the water. Plus Ultra!" Momo raised her fist.
"I didn't know you spend so much time in the workshop, Momo."
"When you combined two great minds and an unlimited supply of resources, you are bound for greatness. I guess now it's three minds." The girl wrapped her arms around other girls' necks.
"Aren't there 40 people in support course?"
"You see, most of them lack the spark." Mei smiled. "They just want to repair costumes and get paid for doing so. It's so lame! Momo and I are the only students with a spark."
"And a few loose screws, judging from what Izuku told me."
"You said unlimited supply? Is your quirk that good, Yaomomo?"
"Yes! As long as you don't ask for living organisms and give me time to prepare, I can make pretty much anything: dolls, swords, motorcycles, drones, miniguns, rocket launchers. You name it, I've got it."
"So cool!" Melissa blue eyes sparkled like stars. "Are you sure you're not American like me?"
"Perhaps in spirit, he he. We'll crush the exam!"
"I'll make a suit that will let me compete with Pro Heroes!"
"We'll make the best babies in the world!"
"You two need to write a 10000 word essay on why disobeying orders of your superiors is a bad idea. Am I making myself clear?" Aizawa said with a tired tone.
"Yes, sensei." Izuku wanted to sigh.
"What an asshole!" Katsuki thought.
Boys left the teacher's office.
"The guy sure has a stick up his ass. Right, Deku?"
"Let's just finish the task and move on, Kacchan."
Green Devil has created a group chat Inner Circle
Green Devil added Fist of Justice, Iron Maiden, Alien Queen and U Can't C Me.
Green Devil: Hey, everyone. I have decided to make this chat so we can schedule our dates and share news better.
Alien Queen: I've convinced two guys from 1B to date me.
Fist of Justice: What? It's only been 5 days.
Alien Queen: You owe me, Red.
Green Devil: How did you do it?
Alien Queen: I told them I only date manly guys, with manly being whatever fits my mood. You should have seen determination on their faces.
Alien Queen: Midori, I haven't seen you use animals in a while. Is your quirk ok?
Green Devil: Kars doesn't feel like sharing right now.
Alien Queen: What a jerk. I have so many ideas for that ability!
Fist of Justice: I don't even want to know.
U Can't C Me changed their username to Pet.
Pet changed Green Devil's username of Master.
Alien Queen: Daring, aren't you.
Fist of Justice: I'm not calling you that, Izuku.
Master changed Fist of Justice's username of Mistress.
Master: Better?
Mistress changed their username to Fist of Justice.
Fist of Justice: Please, keep me out of your weird pet dynamics.
Master: Alright.
Pet: Did you want to say something to us, Master?
Master: Yes. You remember Kizuki-chan from the news? I promised to go on a date with her.
Fist of Justice: She's almost old enough to be your mother.
Alien Queen: She reminds me of myself a bit.
Pet: May I go with you.
Master: No. Sit at home, you're grounded.
Pet: L
Fist of Justice: Do you date every girl from that hotel?
Master: No, only special ones.
Fist of Justice: Is Chitose special because puts you in her news?
Master: You can call it that.
Miruko and Founder were sparring again. After analyzing their last battle, green head came to a conclusion that blocking her kicks is ineffective, so he should focus on redirecting them instead. This worked surprisingly well, and the fight ended with him taking less damage than before. Although, part of the reason must have the harsh warning from Recovery Girl.
"You are getting better at this, kid! One day you might actually kick my ass."
"Your ass, right. He he." He quietly snickered.
"I heard that!"
"So-Sorry."
Kizuki and Izuku were having a romantic dinner in a fancy restaurant. Their meal of choice was pasta. Just like in cheap romantic comedies, they ended up kissing after grabbing one piece of macaroni from the opposite sides. The blue skinned woman led the green head to have dance with him. Unfortunately, he didn't have much experience with slow partner dances, so stomped on her feet a lot.
"Yup, that's definitely Midoriya." Jirou pointed at a distant table. "With an adult woman whose voice I don't recognize."
"Should we go and say hi?" Shouji wondered.
"That would be rude." Yaoyorozu shook her head. "I'll definitely to have to warn Kendou though."
Himiko Toga's court case was quite interesting. Her victims and their relatives insisted on harsh punishment, however, her defense had a lot of sway. She helped with locating the major villain's hideout, had backing from several heroes (after Izuku's plead) and public support after a tear jerking article about her was published. What's more her behavior seemed to improve after she "fell in love". The final sentence was 2 years in prison with possibility of parole.
Midoriya went to visit Toga after the process was over.
"Izu!" She jumped at him. "I missed you!"
"Yeah, I ehh missed you too."
"In two years I'll be released and serve you forever!"
"Hopefully, I find a way to help you by that time."
"Why can't you just leave her as is?"
"It's not fair for her, sir."
"Would fixing old her be fair to the new her?"
"I… never thought about it that way."
"Thought about what?" Blonde was confused.
"I need you to put old Himiko on the phone, please."
"One day I'll find a way to break free! Then we'll finally become one. Phhh… As if, old me." The girl laughed out loud.
"Listen, old Toga, I feel bad for you and I want to help, but I need you to cooperate. We can't let you go on a killing spree after putting so much effort to defend you."
"You are just as bad as my parents! You want me to willingly put on the mask on after you remove the stitches. I'm not a mask, you bitch! I'm my own person." She slapped herself in an attempt to silence the voice.
"Good thing Doppio was loyal to me. We'd never get anything done otherwise."
"I agree. Perhaps we need a better motivator."
"Calm down, please." He grabbed her arms. "Old one, if you don't cooperate, I'll just forget about you and embrace the new one!"
"He he he. If I could lie to you, I'd say she doesn't care. Her words are: No! Please! Don't' erase me!"
"That's better." He nodded. "I'll try to find a solution to this problem, but you'll have to learn how to live without killing left and right."
"All I can hear now is incoherent rambling."
"It's better than nothing. I'll be on my way." Izuku turned around.
"Wait!" The girl grabbed his arm. "Guards usually don't come here at this time of day. How about we have some fun before you leave?" Blonde licked her lips. "I even have old me's consent."
"We'll have to come up with a better naming system later."
"Pleeeeease." The girl hugged him in an attempt to not let him leave.
