The school was closed for a day or two to let the kids rest after such a traumatic event. Though they just congregated at Hiro's shop everyday. Hiro was thinking of expanding the cafe with his space magic, making it bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside, that should be good.
He got a text from Toshinori, who was aptly named 'Small Might' on his phone. Hiro read it 'The principal wants to interview you.' Hiro texted back 'On my way.' before saying "Izzy, man the fort!" Isabella said "What? But I-" Hiro walked out the door saying "You're a lifesaver!"
Isabella wilted and sulked to the counter as the rest of the kids shuffled over saying "So... Those muffins look like they're going stale..." Isabella swatted a broom in the air saying "BACK, HEATHENS!"
Hiro walked to U.A with a hood up, Toshinori was waiting for him at the gate. Hiro smiled and said "Hey!" Toshinori smirked and said "Come with me." Hiro followed him into the building, they walked through the halls, coming to an office.
Hiro sat down in the chair, facing a small white mouse. Hiro took off his hood and said "Hello, Hiro Eien. Nice to meet you!" Nezu nodded saying "Nezu. Nice to meet you as well." Hiro smiled and sat comfortably, Nezu said "Your daughter goes to U.A, correct?" Hiro nodded and Nezu continued "You want to find a successor for God Slaying Goods, as well as heal All Might. What else?"
Hiro rubbed his nose and said "Obviously watch my daughter from the shadows. You know, it's very stressful, who knows when she'll just bring home a boyfriend! Haha!" Toshinori rubbed his eyes and Nezu's mouth twitched, he placed his paws on the desk and said "You understand this is a very stressful time for us and your hiring is at a very coincidental time."
Hiro rolled his eyes and said "If I was working with the league of Villains why would I heal All Might? What's more, I could've killed him before..." he smirked "Plus, would you even let me in if you thought so?" Nezu looked at him for a few moments before saying "Show up when school starts up again." and leaving the room.
Hiro and Toshinori high-fived and chuckled.
A few days later
Hiro was looking at himself in the mirror and Zerotwo pushed herself up from the bed, looking at him with half-opened eyes, the sheet fell and revealed her plump breasts as she said "Where you going, Darling?" Hiro turned around and crawled into bed on top of her and kissed her lips saying "Going to teach."
She closed her eyes and smiled as she replied "Oh yeah?" Hiro kissed her neck and said "Yeah." she wrapped her arms around his neck and pouted "But I want you to stay~" Hiro made a shadow clone and sent it to the school as he took off his clothes and hugged her naked body.
++++++++++++++++
Shadow Hiro went to the school, wearing black boots, a mechanic uniform with the sleeves tied at his waist, and a black shirt. He smoked a cigarette as he walked into the school without an issue. He was in his Hephaestus persona.
He met Nezu and flashed to normal before returning to Hephaestus and getting a paper from him. He looked at the paper and his face fell, Nezu chuckled and said "Good luck." Hiro clicked his tongue and left.
This Nezu guy was really, SUPER funny.
Hiro walked into a classroom and looked at the class saying "I'm filling in for Aizawa until he's healed." the class said "EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?" Hiro said with a cold hard look "I'm Hephaestus." Momo gasped "The owner of God Slayer Goods?!"
The rest of the class looked at Hiro in shock and Isabella blue screened.
WTF!?
Hiro nodded and said "Ye-" he pointed at Yuga and said "Stop sparkling!" before turning back and continuing "Yes." Yuga looked out to the distance with a faraway look in his eyes, mumbling "I can't..." Momo said "Um! Can I have your autograph?!" Hiro took a book and smashed it with Mjolnir, leaving a hammer print and he wrote an 'H' on the side before throwing the book to her and making Mjolnir disappear.
Momo caught the book and hugged it.
Hiro continued "Enough about the U.S.J attack. I've been informed that you all failed spectacularly in dealing with the villain threat." the class quieted down and looked down in shame. Hiro said "You'll never be Heroes if you don't react to villains. Then again, I'm not a hero myself, so what do I know."
He shrugged and said "Anyway, despite this, you have a chance to redeem yourselves. The U.A sports festival is coming up." Kyoka raised her hand and Hiro looked at her, she said "Isn't it a bit soon? I mean we were just attacked..."
Hiro said "That's a valid point, I guess we're just supposed to hide when we see villains." Kyoka didn't say anything and Hiro continued "I'm not trying to be mean, the fact is, even if there were 10000000000000000 Leagues of Villains, U.A will not cower in front of them. Keeping on schedule with the Sports Festival as it has been every year will show the World that U.A isn't scared of some Man-Child villains and their motley crew of rejects."
He leaned on the podium and said flatly "This is your chance to show your stuff on the big stage and get scouted my a big shot pro hero. Who knows, maybe you'll be the next All Might, or Endeavor, maybe even Mirko." he pointed at the class and said "It's you all that have to decide. Do you want to be a little baby that still wears diapers and cries for his mother, or do you want to go and show the villains that their attacks are worthless to shake you?"
He looked at the clock and yawned "Anyway, do your best, Plus Ultra and all that. Blah Blah, Yada Yada... Homeroom dismissed." as he walked out the door, yawning loudly, revealing his sharp fangs.
He walked in the hall to the support division of the school and went to the class he was supposed to be teaching. It was on Mechanics. He was basically the god of Machinery anyway so it was very simple.
He sat in the chair and waited for the class to arrive as he leaned back and put his feet on the desk, smoking and decided to open up some Mythical Mystery Chests. It had been a few days and he was at 9. He opened 4 Mythicals and 1 Ultimate, bringing his totals down to 5.
[Congratulations! You've received Clank-Clank Fruit!]
[Congratulations! You've received Byakugan!]
[Congratulations! You've received Merge Token!]
[Congratulations! You've received Item Modifier!]
[Congratulations! You've received Ultimate Devil Fruit Tree (Empty)]
[Clank-Clank fruit added to Ultimate Devil fruit Tree!]
Hiro exhaled and looked, the Devil Fruit Tree was in his Inner Farm, standing by it's lonesome with a single fruit hanging on it. But he also had the fruit in his inventory, so did it duplicate fruits? Curious indeed!
The class filed in and sat down. Hiro looked at them, peeking at a certain pink haired girl with crosshair eyes. He stood up and introduced himself as Hephaestus, he got a ton of starry eyed kids looking at him, signed a couple autographs and started teaching.
He enlightened the class about what mechanics were and did so for the entire day. He talked with Power Loader at lunch and asked him about Mei, he was told that she was incredibly smart but cost a lot of money to maintain her crazy ideas.
Hiro hummed in response and decided to go visit her and see what she was working on now. He walked into her shop and an explosion went off. He looked at the soot covered pink haired girl, who looked at him and said "Hephaestus-sama!"
Hiro waved and said "What are you working on?" Mei said "Jet pack!" Hiro looked at the jet pack and thought 'Primitive. But considering she has no knowledge and came up with it on her own... It's pretty impressive.' she showed him how it was supposed to work and then added the 'Hover boots' as stabilizers.
Hiro looked at her silently before nodding and walking away, leaving Mei to her devices.
That was their first interaction.
Shadow Hiro flashed home and merged with his real self before a screen appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations! You've completed [Teach at U.A!] Reward: Potential Unlocker Upgrade!]
[Kami Potential Unlocker > Super Kai Potential Unlocker]
Hiro looked at the description and let out a breath of relief, it doesn't require the dumb dance. Great.
He leaned back and rested in his chair as the day flowed by.
He continued teaching for 1 more week, watching Mei as he did so. He was scouting her out, she seemed nice in the anime, but there's always a difference with reality. He didn't want to make a mistake.
There was still 1 more week to the Sports Festival.
One day
He was walking back home, one of the rare days he went in himself. He passed by an alley and saw a little girl slashing some guy to hell. He blinked and said "Man... A murder in broad daylight? Kinda crazy..."
The girl turned around and looked at Hiro, who was in his normal form now. She said "Ouu! You're so handsome~ I bet your blood tastes really good!" as she charged at him with her little knife. Hiro was stunned, this was Himiko Toga, no? She's so unhinged?
He stretched out his arm and held her head as she swiped the air and flailed her arms around. Hiro looked at her and laughed, she shouted "Don't laugh at me!" slashing on his arm. Her knife shattered to pieces and she was immediately stunned silly.
Hiro lifted her chin and said "You're a pretty cute kid!" Himiko backed off in fear and Hiro felt his eye twitch as he said "Hey... I didn't mean it like that... I'm not a pedophile, okay!?" Himiko retorted "Who says something like that?!" Hiro rolled his eyes and said "Well, whatever. You're coming with me." as his tail shot out and wrapped around her, locking her down as he walked away.
She struggled in his tail to no avail and Hiro hummed to himself as he walked down the street, he picked up a treasure today! What a stroke of luck!
