Chapter Three

The New Student

"I'm a bit surprised that you didn't choose to run away upon seeing us. Though we're kind of glad that you didn't, I have to ask why though?" Nezu said before taking a seat on a chair made out of used pieces of metal.

"Well, you didn't step in when I sent Endeavor flying, or smack the dragon girl's face with my weapon," Lily answered as she made her way over to them with a plate and three cups of tea on it.

"You knew we were watching you?" All Might asked as Lily nodded. It wasn't entirely true. It was thanks to Artoria that she knew she was being watched. Guess having a heroic spirit that can read minds paid off. "That's...a bit of a surprise...if not a little bit unsettling."

"I wouldn't say unsettling, but a bit impressive," Nezu said before admiring the house she made out of cardboard. "For someone as young as you to be able to make a home like this with just cardboard. You must've worked hard to make it suitable for yourself."

"A lot of trial and error for the most part. You pretty much have to do what you can when you live in the slums." She said before handing Nezu and All Might their tea as they began to drink it. "Black Lion tea if you're wondering what you're drinking."

"Isn't that an expensive kind of tea?" All Might asked as Lily shrugged.

"Don't know. I found it in a dumpster in an alley. Perfectly sealed and has never been open. How lucky was that?" She said before taking a seat across from the two on the beanbag chairs that they're sitting on. "So what does the symbol of peace and….random mouse person I've never met, want to do with me? Surely you're not here to try and capture me for what I've been doing for the past ten years."

"That would depend on the conversation that we're going to have," Nezu said after taking another sip from his tea. "Given the display in the city. You took down Endeavor, the second rank hero, and Ryukyu who was a high-rank hero. From what the reports about you said, it was assumed that you only have one quirk."

"Yeah, I only have one quirk. And that's the ability to fly."

"Yes, but you sent Endeavor flying and knocked Ryukyu onto the ground," Nezu added. "You have both speed and strength similar to All Might. The only difference is that lines appear on certain parts of your body when you power up. I can only assume your quirk must've evolved during your time on your own?"

"Maybe, I never paid much attention to it. I'm mostly focused on trying to survive, so I pretty much trained myself to get stronger."

"...And what type of training would that be?" Nezu asked as Lily placed a finger to her lips.

"Sorry, can't tell you. Mainly because I don't trust you and you might do something with the information while I'm busy doing something on my own...Plus even if I were to tell you how I got this strong, you wouldn't believe and think I'm crazy." Lily said as she notice the confused expression on Nezu's face. "So why are you here?"

"We have a proposal that we would like to offer you. Given what you have done over the past ten years, you're on the most wanted list here in Japan. And even if you were to leave and go someplace else in the world, you will be hunted down by other heroes from other countries or worse." All Might said as she reaches behind himself to pull out a U.A uniform. "We would like for you to join U.A High School and become a hero."

"You mean that place where the so-called mass-produced heroes are made? Why would I want to waste my time there?"

"Skills like yours are rare to come by. During the fight with Endeavor and Ryukyu, you made sure that no citizens got caught up in the fight, kept property damage to a minimum, paid for the items and food you need to survive without stealing anything, and saved a lot of people...even though you had to use...unorthodox methods. It would be a waste to have to lock you up where you can use your skills for the greater good." He finished as Lily leans back in her seat and closed her eyes to think.

"Artoria, what do you suggest?"

"Take up their offer," Artoria said as Lily was about to speak, only for the Grand Servant to interrupt. "Hear me out. This might be a good thing in your case. If this school produces heroes, then it should have a means to train them in physical combat, Right? Even though the training we've been doing is good, you still need to improve yourself by experiencing different things."

"And you don't think this isn't a trap to find out my weaknesses?"

"From what I can read from them. they're serious in wanting to reform you. No tricks of any kind as of right now. If push comes to shove, you can just leave if they do plan something."

"Fine, I'll take them up on their offer...but the moment they try something, I'm leaving." She thought before looking at All Might and Nezu. "Let me clear on one thing. If this is some kind of trap to try and imprison me of any kind, I will leave and continue to be the so-called Villain killer people are calling me."

"Rest assured, we only want the best for you," Nezu said before standing up and making his way over to her. "I understand if you don't trust us. Given what I can tell from looking around, you were put into a situation that you couldn't control. And it was our fault that we didn't notice this sooner." he before getting onto the floor and bowing down to her. "I know this might not be much, but on behalf of hero society, I like to express how sorry we are for not helping you in your time of need. If you're willing to place your trust in use, then I'll be sure to make sure your future will be bright."

"Trust is earned, not given Nezu. I'll see how far you'll go to gain my trust."

"You'll join U.A?" All Might asked.

"Don't get the wrong idea. I'm only doing this because I want to see how far Nezu will go to help me. But I have my doubts about it." Lily said before turning her attention onto Nezu. "Let me be clear on one thing. If anyone goes into my room, which I'm going to assume I'm getting. If anyone steals something from my room, I will hunt them down and I will beat the ever living fuck out of them." She said as her eyes glared daggers at the two as it caused them to shiver in slight fear. "No matter who they are. Got it?"

"L-Let does not hope it doesn't come to that. But I'll be sure to inform the students and staff not to do anything like that." All Might said as the two finished their tea and placed the uniform on the beanbag All Might be sitting on along with a piece of paper.

"The piece of paper tells you where the U.A is and where your room is located. We'll be waiting in front of the school with your homeroom teacher to escort you to your class." Nezu said as he and All Might bow to her before leaving. "We hope to see you there."

"Yeah...seeya." She said just as the cardboard door closed behind them. After a good couple of minutes, the pseudo servant spoke. "This has better be worth it, Artoria."

"It might. You never know until you try. At least they gave you some clothes to wear." Artoria said as she noticed Lily picking it up to examine it. "...They got your size wrong."

"Which I blame you for giving me a body that makes me look like a fucking supermodel. I mean seriously, why would you have a body with giant honkers and some busty hips."

"It's not like I could prevent the changes from happening. I am a part of your soul after all. So it shouldn't surprise you that my own body would mold into your body over time. Which again, you shouldn't be ashamed of the way your body looks. Do we need to have another sex talk?"

"God no! You already explained to me all I need to know...it also ruined part of my childhood." She said before pulling out a sewing kit.

"I'm pretty sure fate screwed over your childhood."

"Fuck off, you made it worst when you told and showed me about the birds and the bees. Going to have to modify this...might need to make this into a mystic code."

"You remember how to make one, right?"

"Yeah, I just need to figure which spells to place on it...hm...maybe a combination of healing, offensive, and defensive spells will do," Lily said before getting to work on modifying her school uniform.

The morning sun began to rise above the city of Musutafu as Lily began to make her way over to U.A High School via flying. It felt nice not having to hide during the day and come out during the night to get her usual food to stock. Now that she was a student for U.A, she didn't have much to worry about...at least as of yet. This was in a way community serves and their attempt to try and mold her into their version of what a hero was supposed to be. But of course, that wouldn't work on her in the slightest. Sure she wouldn't kill villains that stole from people, but when it comes to hostages, rapists, or people doing inhuman stuff, that's when she'll kill...at least try to.

"This must be the place," Lily said as she noticed two figures standing in front of the gate as she descended towards them. Just as she landed, she saw All Might waving at her with a giant smile on his face, but the person next to him didn't look so happy. If anything, he looks like he wanted to go back to sleep or kill someone for waking him up.

"Ah, young Lilac! It's nice to see that you're...here?" He said before noticing Lily's attire. From what he could see, it looked like she altered the way the uniform looks. The shirt she was wearing was slightly open revealing the cleavage in her breast, the red tie which was now dark purple that was supposed to be tied up was untied and was laying around her shoulders, black fingerless gloves, dark purple mixed with a black skirt, black thigh-high knee socks, dark purple shoes with pieces of metal in the tip of them, and a dark purple ribbon on her head.

"You guys didn't get my measurements right. So I had to alter it a bit so that it could fit me without it causing problems."

"Right, sorry about that. I'll be sure to get you a proper size uniform next time. Anyway, welcome to U.A High School! Here we train the next generation to become heroes to help protect society from villainy!" All Might said before jerking a thumb over at Aizawa. "This is your new homeroom teacher, Mr. Aizawa! He may look scary, but he's a nice person. Once you get to know him." He said as she noticed Aizawa looking at her up and down as if Judging her.

"Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer, old man."

"Let me be clear about this. I'm only letting you into my class so I can keep my eyes on you and cancel out your quirk if you try to do anything suspicious. A person like you shouldn't be in this school with the track record you have."

"Nice first impression, old man. I can tell we're going to be the best of friends~" Lily said in a sarcastic tone as it caused Aizawa to glare at her. "Anyway, old man. Let's get going. I'm sure school's about to start, which means you have a class to teach and for you to introduce me to my classmates, no?" She said as Aizawa stared at her for a moment before motioning her to follow her to class.

"I'm Aizawa, not, old man."

"You be a dick towards me, I'll be a dick towards you. Should've thought about that before making the little tough guy threat." Lily said before she and All Might follow after him as she noticed him looking at her with what she could guess was a deadpan expression...it's kind of hard to tell seeing how he's not very expressive. She soon felt All Might tap her on the shoulder as he began to whisper towards her.

"I know he'll give you a hard time. But don't think of it as him hating you or anything like that. I'm sure over time you two will form some kind of a teacher and student relationship, but for now, try to play nice with him."

"I make no promises, but I'll try to be nice to the old man so long as he doesn't push his "Tough guy" acting shit."

"And can you please not say stuff like that. It's very unprofessional of an upcoming hero."

"I'll say whatever the fuck I want. You're not my dad." She said before noticing All Might flinching from what she said as she turned her attention towards Aizawa. In a matter of a good ten minutes or so, they would be in front of the door that leads to class 1A. "...What the fuck? Why is the door so fucking tall!?"

"Language, and that's not important," Aizawa answered before opening the classroom door and entering inside. Lily would soon hear the shuffling of shoes moving around in the room along with chairs being moved. "You all are getting better at getting ready for class," he said before standing in front of the class. "Listen up, we're getting a new student joining the class today. Though I could guess some of you must have heard her yelling from out in the hallway." The man said before turning his attention towards the doorway and motioning for Lily to enter.

Lily looked over at All Might who simply smiled at the bunny girl as he gave her thumbs up. Indicating that she's in good care. The girl rolled her eyes as she walked into the classroom. Upon entering, she noticed the people in the classroom giving mixed expressions on their faces. Most ranging from the shock that might be due to what she's wearing from the girls and certain boys, A slightly perverted gaze from two of the boys. Mainly the one with purple balls on his head and the one with bright yellow hair. Though she would notice the boy with dark green hair would be staring at her with a shock and fearful expression on his face.

"Aw yeah, we got another girl to join the class. And she's uber hot~!" Mineta said as he wiped away some of the drool coming down from the side of his mouth.

"Is she a foreign exchange student?" Kaminari asked as he eyed Lily up and down. "I wonder where she's from?"

"Is that appropriate attire for her to wear?" Tokoyami said with an uncomfortable look on his face. "We don't need another Midnight walking around."

"Tch, another extra to add to the group of more extras," Bakugo said with an annoyed expression on his face.

"Introduce yourself to the class," Aizawa said as Lily looked over at him with a deadpan expression before looking back at the classroom.

"Sup, the name's Lily Lilac. Though I'm sure some of you might know me as the villain killer given the expression moss head boy over there is giving me." She said pointing a finger at Midoriya who quickly looked away from her. The bunny girl noticed the shocked expression on everyone's faces, safe from Bakugo who was not impressed.

"Wait, you're the villain killer!?" Jirou asked as Lily nodded and gave her an eerie smile.

"Yep, that's me. Surprise no one noticed me given what the news said about me and what I look like." She said while placing a hand on her chin. "I mean I can't blame folks for not noticing me given how I was seven at the time of when they first talked about me."

"Mr. Aizawa! Why would you let someone like her be part of our class!? Shouldn't she be put in prison for the crimes she committed!?" Iida said which caused Lily to glare at him.

"She's here because All Might and Principal Nezu saw potential in her and think she can be an ally for us heroes. A few of the teachers in this school were against this idea. But the hero commissioner thought this would be a way to show that even villains can be reformed. She's going to be part of our class as of today." He said before looking over at Lily. "As I said before, I can cancel your quirk at any time. So don't even think about doing anything that you might regret. And don't even think about trying to leave the campus without supervision. Hound Dog will track you down and bring you back here if need be."

"Oh, I'm so scared of a homeless man who looks like he's on crack." She said before looking back at the classroom. "Listen up. I'm only here because I prefer not to have symbols of peace hunt me down. And even though I can take him out with ease, I don't want more heroes coming after me. So if you want to be friends with me, I have no problem with that. If not, then just ignore me and leave me the fuck up alone, got it?"

"If you're finished, take a seat at the back of the class and we can begin with today's lesson," Aizawa said as Lily made her way into the back of the classroom while noticing some of the students looking at her in judgment.

"Not the best way to introduce yourself, but at least it shows that you're willing to make friends."

"I'm only here because you suggested that I experience something new. Which is true, can't stay in one place forever.'

"Fair point. It's your choice what you want to do. Just remember that you have an important mission much greater than these...heroes."

"Yeah...Takedown The Beast."
