7 Nezu

The Monoma family was getting ready, for today was the day they will visit UA high, it was incredible how their four year old was being called there.

Sure, UA was just the venue, he was not being admitted to UA high or anything, but still, it was an incredible honour nonetheless.

" Neito! Are you ready? The representatives are going to come any minute now! "

Styling his blonde hair rigorously, Neito worked fast hearing his mom's call, he was a bit nervous but nothing he couldn't work with.

" Neito- "

* Knock *

* Knock *

" Oh crap they are here. "

His dad murmured as soon as he heard the knocks, Neito hearing that quickened his pace too, but was a little weirded out as well.

' What's going on, why did they become quite all of a sudden? '

Frowning slightly, Neito finished quickly and went to take a peek before going down.

' Wow, what's he doing here. '

Surprise was the only emotion within Neito, due to seeing who the representative coming for him was.

" ... This is the Monoma household right? I think I have the right address. "

The voice from the representative snapped Neito out of his surprise, and it did the same for his parents too.

" Ha-Haha welcome, welcome principal Nezu, it's the Monoma household. "

Neito's father made a fantastic turnaround and seemed really enthusiastic, but Neito knew better.

His father was using mockingbird to mimic his own mannerisms, otherwise he simply couldn't maintain the facade, his dad really didn't like Nezu.

" Oh sorry sorry, we were a little surprised is all. "

His mom chimed in, because she didn't have his dad's instincts she didn't have any deep dislike for Nezu either.

This gave Nezu a good first impression of his family, if Neito's observation skills worked on rats as well as it did on humans.

" It's no problem, forgive me I came here unannounced. "

Nezu spoke with a smile on his face and hands behind his back.

Hearing that his father just wanted to roll his eyes, as soon as Nezu finished a sentence, mockingbird activated, and all he wanted to do was laugh crazily.

' This rat, why are his mannerisms so.. evil..? Does he like to toy with people..? Ugh I hate it already. '

Deciding he should just get this over with, Neito's dad once again activated his quirk and spoke with a smile.

" Look at this Neito is still not here, sorry wait just a second, Neito! Come down! "

" I am coming. "

Deciding this was a good enough time for his entry, Neito walked down without haste.

" Good morning principal Nezu! "

Nezu turned to look at Neito with his constant smile and laughed lightly.

" You are here, let's go, even if there isn't a fixed time, we shouldn't be too late! It's good manners! "

Neito just smiled and followed behind Nezu who started leaving for the armored vehicle with his parents.

Climbing on the backseat of the car with his parents, Neito saw Nezu come and sit besides him.

" Neito kun, I wasn't supposed to come but I requested it myself, and you know, the reason I personally came today is because of you. "

Neito's dad frowned while maintaining his careless appearance, what did this rat looking bastard have to do with his son.

" Me? I don't think I understand principal Nezu. "

Neito spoke lightly, when dealing with a real genius, his fake genius wasn't worth mentioning.

And Nezu wasn't playing any tricks either, he continued with a smile.

" I have gone through your online test papers Neito kun, and I must say, your situation has intrigued me. "

Raising his eyebrows, Neito wondered what this was about, because if he wasn't wrong the online test papers were the ones he gave for practice, the ones made by Nezu.

So his personal visit entirely is because he keeps track of the test series he has published?

" It is as you think Neito kun, but worry not, no one but me would know about your results. "

His mom chimed in after this, not able to keep herself quiet.

" What do you mean? Are you threatening us? Neito passed on his own merit. "

Nezu shook his head lightly, looking at Neito's mom, Nezu spoke calmly.

" I have no such desire Mrs Monoma, it's just Neito kun's results show something intriguing, Neito kun while much smarter than his age is nowhere near a genius, but somehow, as he kept giving more exams, he started to learn, to adapt at an incredible pace. "

Taking out a stack of papers he had kept conveniently besides the seat, Nezu handed it to Neito's mother.

His father silently looked at it as well, the papers clearly showed average results to fantastic ones, test per test improvement.

" As you can see, this speed of improvement got me curious, I wondered if this was a new quirk alike my own, and look at my disbelief when I see the boy doing all this was four. "

Smiling vaguely, Nezu continued.

" All this done with a quirk seemingly having nothing to do with intelligence. I would have contacted you myself after this, but Neito kun just went ahead and passed the official exams. "

Looking at Nezu his dad chewed on his words and spoke, without using mockingbird this time around, this situation didn't need it anymore.

" So you jumped at the chance and came to us yourself, what's your deal? Want to check if Neito's a threat or not. "

Seemingly unaware of his dad's obvious malice, Nezu grinned happily, clapping his hands he looked at Neito.

" Quite the contrary! Neito kun's situation has gotten me curious, let's just say this combination of quirk and intelligence reminds me of someone, a person just as good but sadly he went down a dark path. "

Looking at Neito with confidence, Nezu said.

" Seeing as how Neito kun is still at an impressionable age, I would like to guide him personally, we want him to grow up healthy in both body and mind! "

* Bang *

Slamming his fist at the window, Neito's dad spat.

" Bullshit, you want to keep him under watch don't you, don't think your flowery language can confuse me, he is not a villain, you hear me! "

Nezu simply turned silent while looking at Monoma family, Neito's mother was holding onto Neito while his father was fuming.

Giving them a few more seconds, Nezu believed their emotions are calmed down enough.

" Forgive me, I simply want to help Neito kun, quirk's affect the minds of their users, I believe you know that, and Nieto kun has clearly been affected to some degree. "

Again pulling out a contact out of nowhere, Nezu passed it onto Neito's dad.

" I assure you once again, I am simply doing this for Neito kun's own good, I believe you won't be disappointed by my terms. "

Neito's dad started reading through the document carefully, all the while the car turned silent.

The sound of papers flipping were all that was heard, the one contact that would define Neito's future path was being read at this very moment.

' How did my actions snowball into this..? A certain someone? It's All for one isn't it??! Shit man, I almost think it was a mistake to get rid of my jealousy. '

Neito scrunched up his eyebrows, the orginal Neito was just fine even with his quirk, so it's obviously something he did that made this situation evolve.

As soon as his inherent jealousy was suppressed, his mental abilities fully bloomed, Neito knew this was the main turning point between the original and him.

' Here's hoping I don't end up in a situation like Hawks or lady Nagant, that would suck so hard, the world might just get a new All For One again. '

While Neito was depressed, he was far from really worried, his quirk was too strong for anyone to really control him for long.

And looking at Nezu's face, he didn't think the situation was too bad right now either.
