Bad Start

Jera who was still trying to calm Jörm by pulling his head down and staring into his eye and gently patting the side of the head,

"It's alright Jörm, remember he help us out. Right."

Jörm who heard Jera's words only grunted and started shrinking his body slowly but still staring at the hero behind him.

"I'm only listening cause you told me Jera, but I still can't help despise humans..."

was the only thing that was said by the snake as it started to coil its body around him. Knowing that Jörm hates humans he could only hope that the hero behind him won't start barking at him, and much to his surprise the hero behind him seemed to be composed and waited for him to explain. In relief, he sighed turned around at the hero who was still on edge after what had happened.

"Sorry about that, Jörm is usually like that to any other human being besides myself. First, let me introduce myself I'm Jera. Nice to meet you."

"Aizawa Shota."

Seeing that he won't say anymore he continued, "well nice to meet you Aizawa-san, I was kind of wondering if you can still give me some clothing as I don't own any besides this pair." pointing at his ragged clothes.

Aizawa remembered the reason he brought this young boy here replied, "Sure just give me a minute, you can just throw that out, you won't be needing it." and went to grab some clothes that would fit him. When he came back he was greeted with a now naked boy but what was more startling was that now in a lit room he could see the numerous amount of scars varying from size throughout his body and his large diagonal scar that covers his chest. Jera realising his stares only stated, "Got them during training".

This only further made Aizawa frown, "Did your parents allow all this?", to which he responds "never knew them".

Aizawa can only sigh at his stupidity as it should have been obvious he was alone just from his previous attire alone. He handed his old clothes over to him, hoping he didn't remind of bad memories much to his surprise he didn't seem to care.

"Well now you're all clothed, what are you going to do now? I hope you won't just start wandering down dark alleyways again since you should know now that it's dangerous to do so."

seeing the boy nod in agreement he felt better but soon turned sour as he heard another voice,

"It doesn't matter old man, I'll protect him when he needs it. And besides, where can Jera go, he doesn't have a house so we can only wander around."

Hearing this Aizawa could only feel slightly guilty and offered, "How about you stay with me? I don't usually stay home because of my job as a teacher and doing my underground hero activity."

Before Jera could say anything Jörm yelled, "You said it not me, now Jera we have a home why don't you start resting we can go out exploring in the morning."

Jera, who heard his shameless companion trick a hero into letting them stay, looked at Aizawa apologetically and asked if he could rest in one of the rooms.

And the hero in question also felt slightly annoyed how easily he fell for that trick, even though he would have offered it regardless of how difficult his life was, being tricked by the boy's sentient quirk damaged the pride of the quirk erasure hero. Practically grumbling he told the boy, " the room at the end of the hallway a guestroom you can use it as your room now.

Jera finally left alone in his new real house and in his room started to scold Jörm, "Jörm, why'd you have to antagonise Aizawa-san like that. He was only just following the rule and besides he was helping us."

Jörm to respond to Jera's scolding he could only pout in a snake like way and respond, "I only did what would benefit us Jera, he needed to know that we weren't helpless in case he was thinking about taking advantage of you. It's obvious that most people won't even care if your male looking at your figure."

Jera at first felt warm at Jörm's consideration in the first part of his speech but his expression took a turn at the latter half, showing anger apparent on his face.

"Jörm!!! Stop teasing me about my physique, it's not funny!"

Aizawa who was left alone hearing the two muffled but cheerful voices behind the door was trying to figure out what he was going to do with the boy. He seemed to be well educated from the way he conducts himself most likely has a decent education from his annoying quirk.

(I wonder why his physique is so unique, completely different from the snake, it resembles a deer.)

Letting his mind wander he also entered his room to head off to sleep. Even though he usually spends his this time patrolling he felt tired after his clash with that snake.

Jörm, who was constantly keeping his conscience on Aizawa felt he has truly fallen asleep asked Jera, "So what do you plan to do? At your age, normal teenagers usually spend their time studying to enter a preferred Highschool through varied exam methods. You can ace any test since I've hammered all the educational curriculum during your 10 year training. And another option, a popular one for strong quirk owners is to join hero oriented highschool. The most prestigious one being U.A Academy."

Hearing all of his possible career paths from Jörm he was naturally attracted to the career which involved the usage of quirks.

"Hey Jörm, what's it like to be a hero?"

"You are asking the wrong reptile... I can just explain that they're 3 main archetype of heroes. Rescue, combat, and support. I'm guessing I don't have to explain all of them right?"

"Right..."

"For the rest, you should actually ask a pro hero. You do remember you are now living in the house of the erasure hero Erazer Head?"

"Good point Jörm. I'll ask him tomorrow since you already mentioned he went to sleep, I already feel bad for Aizawa-san since you did gave him quite the scare."
