5 Chapter 4

You want me to what now?"

Izuku, in his Quirkless Uniform, stood in an office with Naomasa, All Might, Aizawa, and Nezu. All but Izuku and Naomasa were seated and enjoying tea.

Nezu spoke calmly.

"I would like you to accompany our students to the USJ, on top of staying in the background, in the event that something may occur."

Izuku turned to Naomasa, who shot him a look of 'I told you so'.

Nezu coughed, gaining their attention. "On top of that, one of our students was attacked not too long ago, and I'm sure the student will feel safe knowing there will be extra security." Nezu smiled at the vigilante with knowing eyes.

If Izuku was surprised, he didn't show it. A student was attacked? And Not too long ago? that may be the girl I rescued, she did have a school uniform on, but it may be one of the boys I saved, can't be too sure it's a-" He was interrupted by another cough.

Izuku glanced at the quirkified animal. "I'm sorry, do you need a cough drop? I've got plenty."

Nezu laughed whole heartedly. "No, I assure you I'm fine. it's just that muttering is in deed fascinating. is it an effect of your quirk?" Nezu rose an eyebrow.

Izuku almost rolled his eyes. "How much is the pay?" He noticed that the others slumped in disappointment for the dodged question, albeit Naomasa.

"Ah yes, the pay is 250,000 yen. Our students are more valuable than any money we may accumulate. They are our next generation of heroes, after all."

Izuku had a new respect for the principal. He knew what he was talking about. He couldn't agree more with what Nezu said.

Nezu grinned. "I take it you accept our terms?"

Izuku put his hand out and shook the principal's hand (paw?) "Yes. what time should I arrive tomorrow?".

Aizawa took it from there. "8:00 sharp. Now, for instructions on behaviour." Izuku frowned.

Izuku didn't like this. He didn't like being told how to behave. He's been a professional vigilante for years. He's seen Aizawa in action. He's good, just too boring. Too 'by the book' kind of guy. Before Aizawa could continue, Naomasa spoke up.

"Eraserhead, please. He's a professional. He knows what his duties are, so he doesn't need to be instructed like one of your students."

"He is a child, Tsukauchi. He's going to be around children his age. He'll just be distracted by a pretty girl." Aizawa glared at Izuku. "if you try anything, I will take the reigns. This is your only warning." Aizawa took this time to leave.

"He's certainly an interesting character, Principal. I wouldn't like to see him on a bad day " Izuku said with a shiver down his spine. If it weren't for the police backing him, he was sure Aizawa would take any chance to get him behind bars.

Nezu sighed. "He is one of my best teachers. you just need to warm up to him, and he, you."

Izuku shrugged. "whatever, I'll be going. See us Nez, Nao, Blondie." He walked out with a wave.

The three looked at the door their guest left out of. All Might rubbing his temples.

"Why do I have the feeling we aren't getting rid of him anytime soon?"

As he was leaving, Izuku took the time to observe and soak in the environment he was in.

Just think, this is what I could have been in if I had a normal life. I'm glad I didn't though, this is a cool experience.

Izuku was about to turn, when he saw a flash of pink. No way! Is it her?

It was gone as quickly as he'd seen it. He lowered his head in thought. "Maybe, I'll see how she's doing tomorrow."

"Very well!"

"AHHH!" Izuku stumbled from where he stood, head twisting each other way to identify where the voice was coming from. He looked down, and sure enough, Nezu was there.

"Quirkless, I shall have you two meet up now, how about it?" Nezu already walked off, not waiting for an answer.

Izuku ran off after him. "Sir! I don't want to impose! I'm seeing you all tomorrow anyway! Sir! oh screw it." How is he so fast?!

"Madame, I hope you're doing well."

Izuku sat in a chair not too far from the girl he rescued. The girl in question couldn't look him inn the eyes, fidgeting as she played with her nails.

Izuku leaned forward, concern evident in his eyes. "uh, Mina was it? How are you faring after the incident with muscular?" He was mildly concerned. One particular of him wanted to get back to work, but he is earning two weeks worth of cash by a half day alone, and his heroic part of him didn't want to leave her until he knew she was ok.

Mina, on the other hand, was uncharacteristically timid. She wanted to tell him how thankful she was for saving him, but her mind wouldn't stop playing what happened that day.

Those insane eyes

The unsettling laughter

The massive body approaching her

She was shivering. It all hit her like a train.

She couldn't handle it. She jolted up and left the room, tears threatening to leave her.

Izuku was confused. She looked so happy in the hall, but just now? She looked like he killed her family.

Nezu walked in, knowing what happened. "Quirkless, it appears she doesn't want to speak. Maybe some other time? I'm terribly sorry for dragging you into this."

Izuku stiffened. "if its all the same, sir, you should be apologizing to her, not me. I just don't think she was ready to confront the incident."

His gaze softened. " I'm fine, thanks for the concern. I'll see you all tomorrow." He lowered his mouth covering to show Nezu a reassuring smile, one that helped Nezu physically relax.

"Tomorrow then, I look forward to seeing you."

I hope she's doing ok. Izuku could not stop thinking about what happened even as he was doing his job.

He looked down, from his perch, found his mark, and promptly threw a flashbang at the retreating culprit.

I hope she has friends to help her through this. unfortunately I won't be much of a service tomorrow.

The criminal he was capturing had just drugged a woman's drink at the bar. Thanking the night for his cover, he tied him up and hauled him to the station.

It could be me. People tend to want to stay away from me in general.

He arrived at the station. Ringing up his friend, he waited patiently.

"QL! You finally caught him! Bastard is wanted for multiple offenses of drugging women, battery, and murder." The detective shook his head, looking towards Izuku shortly after.

"Anyways, thanks QL, payment on my desk. Tsukauchi started to turn around when Izuku called out to him.

"Detective! can I talk to you after the shift is over? something has been on my mind and I don't know how to deal with it."

Naomasa smiled. "Sure! My shift ends in an hour. meet up at the usual place?"

Izuku could only smile.
