Chapter 02: Midnight Learns a Valuable Lesson

— Toshinori Yagi (All Might) —

Arriving back at U.A, he was happy that Midnight and Mirko had solved their dungeon mystery, at least one thing was going well today.

Seeing 'Kaito' for the first time, he gave the younger boy an approving look as he saw the bulging muscles and signs of intense training. If only young Midoriya had muscles like that, but his successor was still working on training so their body would be able to handle One for All.

"Ah, Toshinori, please take a seat. We were just discussing some things with Kaito here," Nezu said, making Kaito turn and give him a nod.

He wasn't entirely sure why Nezu insisted on him joining them in gently probing Kaito for information, the boy was apparently rather compliant so far.

"Now, just to confirm, you claim your father gave you your power?" Nezu asked, making Toshinori immediately tense up as Kaito nodded. "You weren't born with the ability to control monsters?"

Oh, you had to be kidding…

"Yeah, that's right. It was a gift from my father at the start of my training journey," Kaito said calmly, apparently not seeing anything wrong with his statement.

"And he gave your mother her power as well?" Nezu continued, making Kaito nod.

"He did," Kaito agreed easily.

"What is your mothers power, exactly?" Toshinori asked, making Kaito turn to him.

"She gains the powers of anything she eats," Kaito explained, still utterly calm.

"And she leads a tribe that lives in a jungle, full of monsters, correct?" Nezu asked, making Kaito nod again.

"That's right, though the monsters back home are much stronger than the ones in the forest," Kaito said with a chuckle.

"Can anyone back home control those monsters?" Nezu asked, making Kaito nod again.

"My mother has dozens of monsters of her own, she only keeps the biggest and most powerful ones though," Kaito said, clearly proud.

"Hm, tell me, would she see this as powerful enough?" Nezu asked, pressing a button as the screen in his wall turned on, shaking footage of Gameciel smashing through buildings, melting people with its steam.

Kaito simply watched it all dispassionately, unaffected by the chaos on the screen.

"Hm, maybe? It's a little small for her tastes, plus it doesn't seem that strong. Her T-Rex would pierce through that shell in a single bite," Kaito said, looking rather unimpressed. "She'd probably capture it and try and train it, if it failed to live up to her expectations she'd feed it to her pack."

Gameciel seemed too small?!

"I see, her pack must be very impressive," Nezu complimented. "One last question for now, what are your parents' names?"

"Olympia and Kuro, why?" Kaito asked, making Nezu smile calmly.

"Just curiosity, it's not often we find someone inside our dungeon after all. I'd like to speak more with you later, I believe we can come to an agreement and help each other out. Midnight, would you please guide our new friend here to the student dorms, he can use one of the first year rooms for today," Nezu said calmly, making her nod.

It was strange that Mirko wasn't here, she didn't particularly like teaming up but at the very least the rabbit hero would usually stick around to give her report. Apparently this time Mirko had practically fled the moment they got out of the dungeon.

"Of course, come with me Kaito," Nemuri said, making Kaito pause as his eyes narrowed before he shrugged and got up.

Kaito didn't bother saying goodbye as he left, not one for manners apparently, making Nezu sigh while Toshinori immediately reverted into his true form.

"Please tell me I'm jumping to conclusions," Toshinori almost begged, making Nezu sigh again with a deep frown.

"I was almost hoping to ask you the same thing. Kaito's father can grant people powers, and his mother trains Kaiju-sized monsters, Kuro simply means Black, I suppose it's possible that it's his real name but…" Nezu trailed off.

"You think One for All is his father, and he's using this Olympia to train Kaiju," Toshinori completed.

"Kaiju aren't like normal monsters, they're too… controlled. They destroy their target and retreat regardless of whether people are still trying to attack them. We still don't know where they're coming from, and there's an intelligence behind them, their actions and their targets, and we might have just stumbled across it," Nezu agreed. "Their actions make far more sense if someone is holding their leash, guiding them to attack and pulling them back when they have done enough. If they have someone capable of teleporting people and perhaps monsters out of their dungeon and into other dungeons…"

"They could train the Kaiju in the dungeon, then send it out when it's ready without ever exposing their true location," Toshinori finished grimly. "But if they're hiding inside an undiscovered dungeon, which sounds like it's an S-Rank dungeon, we can't counter them."

Discovering his mortal enemy could be behind the Kaiju didn't surprise him as much as it infuriated him, had he not done enough to the world?

"Indeed, and then there's this…" Nezu continued, pressing another button, changing the video of Gameciel to a report. "I convinced Kaito to undergo a small medical check-up to make sure he hadn't carried any unknown diseases out of the dungeon, Recovery Girl discovered that he has two joints in his pinkie toe."

"Wait, Kaito is Quirkless?" Toshinori asked, he'd seen the blue slime sitting on Kaito's shoulder, utterly tame despite being around humans.

It was extremely rare for someone with two joints in their pinkie toe to develop a Quirk, but Kaito clearly had a power. Another sign of this Kuro being All for One.

"Which leaves us with two questions, if our suspicions are correct," Nezu said, lacing his fingers together. "Is Kaito truly All for One's son, and if so why would All for One send his son into a dungeon where he knew we'd find him?"

Very true, of all the dungeons Kaito could have been sent to for the start of his journey, why send him to a dungeon that U.A carefully monitors?

Where it was inevitable he'd be caught immediately?

Kaito didn't seem to be lying, Nezu was very good at sniffing out deception, so why would All for One send his son to them with so little knowledge about the world?

Was it a trap, expecting them to try and turn Kaito against him? Or would the trap trigger if they let him go?

Kaito hadn't done anything wrong, and from what he'd told Recovery Girl, he was just a bit older than their first years at sixteen, despite his larger size.

It wasn't a coincidence that Kaito had been sent on this trip mere months before the school year began, at just the right age to join U.A.

"Kaito claims his tribe numbers in the thousands, where the weak are banished into the jungle to perish or grow strong enough to survive. I do not want to consider why All for One wants thousands of powerful tribalistic warriors. I suspect I'm playing into his hands, but I believe we should keep Kaito close and at the very least learn as much as we can about this tribe and his father's actions. If we can push Kaito to a more heroic outlook while he is at U.A, all the better," Nezu said, making Toshinori nod before he paused.

"Do you think Kaito could take the Kaiju?" he asked, making Nezu shrug.

"I cannot say, but I would certainly like to find out," Nezu said simply as they paused, contemplating this newest development.

— Kaito —

I have no idea why the small, strange creature was so interested in my tribe, but I suppose their curiosity is understandable given my rather sudden arrival.

This place is definitely interesting. I've heard most worlds just have humans or a few human-adjacent species like elves and dwarves, but this world seems to be quite different.

I also thought it was as wild as my own world, but once we left the dungeon I found myself in the middle of a large city.

I somewhat share my mother's distaste for civilisation, but I'll admit there are plenty of benefits to living in a city that I can't get in the forest.

Mostly food-related, to be honest, but not entirely based around my love of good food.

U.A High School, as I've learnt this place is called, is absolutely massive and apparently the #1 place to learn how to become a 'hero'. It's good to see this world puts so much importance in training their young to become true warriors.

It's not the terminology they use, but the students will go on to fight monsters and people using their powers for 'evil', so they're for all intents and purposes, warriors.

There's clearly more going on than I know, anyone could tell that with the rodent's questioning but in truth I don't really care. I'm not here to play in their games, I'm here to become powerful.

I'll listen to their sales pitch and if I don't like it I'll go find another dungeon to move into. I've already asked Midnight about that, apparently all known dungeons in Japan are managed by a government agency founded to deal with them, but while they advise that only registered heroes enter them, there's no actual law preventing me from just heading in myself.

They're focused on making sure nothing leaves, they don't really care who goes into them.

I've also learnt that people aren't allowed to use their 'Quirks', as they call powers here, in public spaces unless you have a 'Hero License', which puts me in an awkward position.

Is just the existence of Blue classed as me using my 'Quirk'?

It'll be annoying if people keep trying to arrest me, or maybe it wouldn't be since it would give me an opportunity to train against the heroes who came to arrest me?

I plan to spend most of my time in the dungeons, but I'd like to be able to travel freely without being bothered by the local heroes and government.

But if I attended U.A (as I suspect they're going to offer), I'd find myself stuck in this place for three years, though I would be here with other 'heroes' who I can train against and they'd send me to dungeons for training as well.

As for why I think they'll make me an offer to join them? I'm strong, and my 'Quirk' is powerful. Organisations always seek powerful people to join them and increase their standing. It's just the way of the world, power attracts.

I don't want to be tied down, but it wouldn't be bad to use the resources this place puts into its 'students' to speed up my growth. Decisions, decisions.

"So, I suppose you find all this to be too soft for you?" Midnight asks as we arrive at the dorms, showing me to a undecorated room.

"I don't mind a little bit of softness, as long as I don't let it soften me as well, complacency is the true killer," I snort, looking around the room.

I wonder how they actually train their students? Maybe I'll stick around and find out, if they don't impress me I can just wander off.

"Oh I wouldn't worry about that, I'd say you're pretty damn hard," Midnight says with a sultry tone, reaching forwards and patting me on the chest, squeezing my pecs briefly as she gives me a flirty smile. "Harder than most of the pro heroes I know, you must have worked long and hard to get like this."

"Watch yourself, woman. I'm not one of your blushing students, you're playing with fire," I warn, I know girls like her.

She's probably used to reducing boys to a blushing mess, but I'm not so easily embarrassed and my words make her eyes widen briefly, before she gives me a lewd smirk.

"What if I want things to get nice and hot?" Midnight asks, not doing the smart thing and backing down as I raise an eyebrow.

"Last warning, keep going down that route and you'll find just how hard I can be," I warn, but I already know her type, she can't let a guy get the final word.

"Maybe it'd be a nice contrast, the bed looks nice and soft after all~" Midnight teased. "Want to test it out with me?"

— Nemuri Kayama (Midnight) —

She saw the warning signs, the slightly hungry look in his eyes and the bulge in his trousers as he stared at her, but she'd never been one to back down from a challenge, especially not a challenge of this kind.

Kaito being very much her type only pushed her further to keep flirting even after his warning, but in truth she was treating him like she treated the male students.

Flirting with no real intention of letting it go anywhere, plenty of students spent her class adjusting their trousers or covering their crotches with their books as they left.

It was so easy, just a bit of innuendo here and there, bending over at just the right angle to give them a show thanks to her skintight outfit. The only reason she got away with it is because she gave them some bullshit about wanting the students to be exposed to this kind of tactic since plenty of female villains would use their feminine wiles against inexperienced heroes.

So even with Kaito's beefy body, his clearly more primal mindset, when she heard he was sixteen she mentally started to treat him like her students, she wanted to see him awkwardly adjusting his pants, to see him blush and look away when she caught him staring at her body.

"The en-suite has a shower in it if you'd like to finish washing up, since we interrupted you before. It also has some soap and shampoo, which I doubt you had back in the forest," Midnight said, turning and watching him as he snorted.

"True, this hair can be a pain in the ass to deal with sometimes," Kaito agreed, running a hand through his thick locks. She could definitely imagine, he had great hair for how rough he had been living, thick black locks that went down to his shoulders.

"I'll even wash your back if you'd like, I'm sure a big guy like you has some places you can't reach~" Midnight offered, making him pause before he simply reached down and dropped his trousers, making her eyes widen at his casual boldness as he stepped out of them, his thick cock hanging between his thick, muscular thighs.

"…I warned you," Kaito said simply, making her blink in confusion as he moved, shocked as he moved into her space, wrapping an arm around her waist as one of his large hands found her ass and squeezed, pulling her against his body.

No student would dare be so bold, and she immediately realised she'd underestimated him as a jolt of arousal passed through her, turned on by his actions.

"Kaito-" Nemuri said hesitantly, not sure what to do as she was caught off guard, stuck between wanting to see where this was going and doing the 'proper' thing and stopping this.

But she'd never been good at 'proper', her old outfit single-handedly got the laws on costumes changed after all, apparently people weren't ready for her genius 'open trench coat with nothing under it' costume.

So when Kaito tossed her towards the soft bed, face down in the fresh sheets as he moved up to her, she paused and simply looked back over her shoulder at him.

Would he be bold enough to put her in her place, to do what every male student had dreamed of doing?

As he gripped the thin material of her costume, tearing it apart with ease thanks to how it was designed, she felt herself grow wet as she realised the answer was yes.

Her costume was made to be easy to tear apart so she could use her Quirk, which required her to have exposed skin, something he took full advantage of as he tore the bottom of her costume apart, exposing her ass and dripping pussy as she gasped.

She should stop this, it wasn't that she didn't want it, she definitely wasn't some blushing virgin like Mirko who couldn't handle seeing a dick, but she knew it was a bad idea to let this go further.

"You think I'm one of the little students who you can tease as much as you want?" Kaito growled, spanking her exposed ass harshly as she moaned quietly.

She was more of an S than an M, but she could enjoy both sides of the coin, even if she'd prefer to hear Kaito whimper in pain as she brought her whip down on him.

"Nothing little about you, big guy," Nemuri flirted, looking down at his rapidly-hardening cock. He might just be the biggest she'd ever seen in person, definitely impressive for his age.

"You just don't stop, huh? So be it," Kaito said simply, grasping his cock and slapping it against her ass, grinding it between her toned buttocks for a moment as she gasped.

It'd been a while for her, nobody told her how much work being a teacher actually was and between that and being a hero she hadn't had time to scratch this itch, so as she felt the bulbous tip press against her soaked lips, she simply spread her legs further apart and gave Kaito a hungry smirk.

He wasn't a student, so the board couldn't whine at her about improper student-teacher relationships again, and there was something about his wild nature that turned her on hard.

Gripping her hips, Kaito simply thrust forwards and sheathed his entire fat cock inside her tight cunt with a single thrust.

A loud moan slipped out of her as he started to move, wasting no time as he just bent her over, one hand pushing her face down into the bed as he started to hammer away into her, each thrust causing the tip of his cock to kiss the entrance of her womb.

It wasn't like her to be the submissive in bed, face down as he pinned her to the bed and truly fucked her, but she didn't particularly mind. She could still get free if she wanted this to stop, with the tears in her costume she could just use her Quirk and knock him out if she really wanted to.

Obviously, she didn't, as her moans and his grunts filled the room, she'd probably get a bit of a dressing down later for this but as that fat cock split her in two, she knew it would be worth it.

"F-fuck, harder you big-dicked bastard, ruin me," Nemuri ordered, moving her hips back in time with his thrusts, making him chuckle.

"As you wish," Kaito said with a deep growl to his tone, briefly pulling out of her to flip her onto her back, pushing her legs up beside her head as he slammed back into her, pounding her into the bed in a traditional mating press.

One hand moved up and gripped her hair roughly as he placed a domineering kiss on her lips, this was definitely a guy who was used to being in control and he was obviously no virgin.

It made her curious what life was like in his 'tribe', but given the fact that she was currently busy cumming around his big fat cock, she'd have to ask him about that later on, moaning lewdly into his mouth as she returned his kiss.

Even as she clenched down on his invading cock, he didn't slow down in the slightest as he just pounded her pussy, he wasn't so much fucking her as he was trying to make her his bitch.

She'd met a few guys who thought they could pull it off, they normally ended up running away when she showed them just why she used whips as her weapon of choice. She wasn't a submissive woman, though she could play both sides if the mood took her.

In this case, she'd let Kaito have his way with her this time, but if he wanted a repeat he'd find that she wouldn't be so obedient next time.

"That's it, keep going, pump your cum into me," Midnight begged, moving her legs around his waist as she pulled him into her faster, demonstrating that she was hardly defenceless even on bottom like this. She wasn't worried about him finishing inside her, frankly she'd be disappointed if he pulled out.

Her arms wrapped around his beefy chest as she dug her nails into his back, scratching him. She was disappointed when he didn't show any reaction to her digging her nails into him, apparently having a decent pain resistance.

She'd have to find out just how high that resistance was~

Kaito didn't respond verbally, but his grunts increased as he started to fuck her harder, the bed shaking and creaking as he reshaped her cunt.

She was pretty sure Nezu planned to invite Kaito to U.A, which would make things a little awkward but she wasn't opposed to giving him some hands-on tutoring, and maybe some one-on-one detentions~

Heroes could die at any time, especially now that Kaiju and dungeons were a thing, so why hold back for the sake of propriety?

These 'kids' they were teaching would be lucky to live long enough to become adults, she still remembered Loud Cloud, her cute little juniper who died before he even graduated U.A.

She knew Oboro had a crush on her, he definitely enjoyed her basically nude costume, then Oboro died a pointless death without experiencing all life had to offer. If she could go back, she'd have popped his cherry before he started his Hero-Work Studies.

They were risking their lives for the good of the world, so they should get some leeway when it came to how they relaxed, no matter what the stuffy assholes up top thought.

Not that those assholes had as much power anymore, with the Kaiju and Dungeon Breaks, they didn't have time to complain about impropriety and other pointless stuff like that.

As Kaito thrust into her, her thoughts were dragged back to her current situation, feeling him bottom out inside her as he did as she ordered and spilt his seed inside her, the familiar warmth of the hot, sticky cum flooding her womb, making her climax again, digging her nails into his back hard enough to draw blood as she screamed in pleasure.

It was a good thing these rooms were soundproofed.

Pausing for a moment, he rested with his still-hard cock inside her as her legs came undone and released his waist from their vice-like grip, before he pulled back with a satisfied smile, looking down at where his seed was leaking from her stretched slit.

"I needed that," Kaito admitted, giving her a lazy smile as he looked over her body, before smirking. "Now, about that shower…"

Before she couldn't even respond, Kaito grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder as he carried her to the bathroom. Putting her in the shower, he tore the remnants of her costume off her body with an utter disregard for keeping it intact.

It was a good job she had spares, but getting to her room was going to be a bit awkward after this, given the scraps of her outfit currently littering the bathroom floor.

Pausing as he tried to work out the shower, she helped him by turning on the hot water. It was odd, he clearly knew a lot of the terminology but he didn't know how to turn on the shower.

He grew up in a dungeon, but with people who had lived in 'civilisation' enough for the terminology to have passed on? His mother apparently hated civilisation but that implied she had at least experienced it.

She really wasn't sure what to think about his parents, but she was smart enough to see that Nezu and All Might had suspicions about them. Was he the son of villains?

Even if he was, the sins of the father shouldn't pass down to the son.

But her musing was promptly interrupted as he pinned her against the shower wall, pushing her face against it as he roughly spread her legs and sheathed himself back inside her.

— Nezu —

Seeing Midnight walk in on obviously shaky legs, wearing a U.A gym uniform that was obviously too small for her, he blinked once as he sniffed the air.

It didn't take a genius to realise what Kaito and Nemuri had been up to, but he didn't particularly care about the courtship of humans. While his Quirk allowed him to live amongst them, there were plenty of things about human civilisation he didn't understand, or frankly, care about.

…he just wished she'd cleaned herself better after they were done, because he was fairly certain Kaito's seed was still leaking out of her from the smell.

Plus, she had something white in her hair, his call for them probably came at an inopportune time, but again, he didn't particularly care.

Midnight wasn't embarrassed, seeming almost challenging as she watched him sniff the air, before relaxing as he didn't mention their activities. Kaito however seemed utterly relaxed, even more so than he had been before, as their actions seemed to have mellowed him out a bit.

He was wearing his leather trousers, but again no shirt, showing several scratches on his chest and back. They'd also both obviously very recently showered.

Perhaps their actions would make conversation go by easier.

"Ah, Kaito. Thank you for coming," Nezu said simply, ignoring their obvious actions.

"It's no problem, what's up?" Kaito asked, lounging in his seat.

"I've spoken with some of my colleagues, and I've come to a decision. Your Quirk represents a rare opportunity to both learn more about our enemies, as information on monsters is always valuable, and to attempt to end the threat that the Kaiju represent. As such, I'd like to extend you an offer to attend U.A, on an official recommendation so you don't have to go through the usual entry exams," Nezu said, making Kaito narrow his eyes and sit up a little straighter. He clearly wasn't surprised by the offer.

Kaito claimed his Quirk could give him information simply by examining a Monster before he tamed it, that alone made him valuable, doubly so if it worked on Kaiju.

"Now, as you have not had a 'proper' education, we can make some exceptions for you so you don't suffer for your lack of what we see as 'common knowledge'," Nezu continued, seeing that he was paying close attention.

Kaito was a rather simple man, but that didn't mean he was a dumb one. There was a sharp mind behind those eyes.

"You'll be rewarded for any information you can gather of course, there's a 'bounty' out on monster information, especially any related to the Kaiju, and more importantly you'll be granted a pass to use your quirk freely, as well as gain access to many dungeons where you can train," Nezu explained, seeing Kaito's interest.

The simple fact was that if Kaito could stop the Kaiju then he'd likely be the next Number One Hero.

"I've seen your uniform, I'm not wearing a shirt," Kaito finally said, a hint of steel in his tone.

"I'm sure we can make adjustments to be respectful of your culture," Nezu said simply.

Personally he was with Kaito on this, why did he have to wear clothes when he was clearly an animal?

Some people might complain, but he could deal with them to keep Kaito close where they could keep an eye on him and use his powers for the good of the world.

The Hero Public Safety Commission didn't have anywhere near the influence they did pre-Dungeon Emergence, not least of which was because a dungeon opened up and immediately caused a dungeon break merely a mile away from their headquarters and many of their staff hadn't survived.

With the threat of monsters and Kaiju, the world had developed an almost 'any means necessary' standing to fight against this threat to all humanity.

In some countries, imprisoned villains were put to work in the dungeons where they'd often die, which was seen as acceptable casualties.

Japan hadn't gotten to that level, not yet, but even they offered villains pardons to fight in dungeons and participate in kaiju battles.

Such was the world they lived in now, the scum of the earth could find themselves fighting back to back with the greatest heroes against the true threat.

"If I think my progress is going too slow, I'm leaving," Kaito warned, he could appreciate Kaito's bluntness to be honest.

"That won't be a problem, U.A is the best place for anyone to learn how to use their powers, you won't be disappointed with your progress," Nezu agreed simply. "If you are, I won't stop you from setting out and carving your own path."

Kaito paused, briefly looking at the slime that was sitting on his shoulder before he chuckled.

"Then I guess you've got yourself a new student, for now at least," Kaito agreed, making him and Midnight smile.

"Now, I've prepared some tests to help work out exactly what level you are at academically, they shouldn't take long to do…"

— Later —

Ah, this could be slightly problematic.

Looking over Kaito's grades, he sighed in bemusement as he considered what to do about this.

Kaito was fluent in Japanese and English, both written and spoken, but the rest of the subjects?

His history scores were terrible, maths was better left unmentioned and science? Well, the one question he'd gotten right was his name.

It wasn't that Kaito was stupid, but he'd obviously never been taught any of these subjects and some probing had quickly explained why.

Kaito had been taught a lot, but everything he was taught came down to survival or his tribe. He knew history, but outside of garbled references to weak surrendering frenchmen and indomitable Spartans, he only knew of his tribe's history (in which Nezu was very interested), he had been told stories of his mother's victories, of those who had challenged her for her throne, of the most glorious hunts the tribe had performed.

Why would they ever bother telling him the world's history?

And instead of the academic subjects, he'd been taught how to survive in the dungeons, how to find edible food, how to hunt and harvest the weaker monsters for food and materials. Instead of P.E, he'd been taught to hunt and kill.

That came as an unpleasant surprise, Kaito had outright admitted that he'd fought other humans to the death, seeming proud of his victories in 'the pit'.

His tribe fully believed in might makes right. If two people had a disagreement, and one killed the other, the one still alive clearly had the better argument. If someone had something you wanted, you could just attack them and take it, if they were too weak to defend their belongings then they didn't deserve to have them.

It was a rather sinister thought, considering their belief that All for One was behind this tribe, what did he plan to do with such a horde of barbarians?

Kaito claimed people had challenged him because they wanted to use him to get at his mother, who seemed unbeatable, and was proud that he'd put them all down.

Thankfully he understood that this wasn't his home, and he couldn't just kill as he pleased here, but they'd definitely need to keep an eye on him.

Kaito was a strange mixture of a reasonable young man and a barbaric tribal warrior, but he could work with that.

Still, they had to do something about his frankly terrible grades… which gave him an idea.

— Kaito —

I suck at academics, this should come as a surprise to absolutely nobody.

I damn near wanted to leave already when they started giving me tests, but I'm not one to back down from a challenge or give up so easily.

Looking around my dorm room, I put on the bottoms of the U.A uniform and the open blazer, which is what we came to agree on. I'm not 'topless' but I'm also not wearing a stuffy shirt and that's good enough for me.

I'm not wearing a tie either, I hate stuffy outfits.

Putting Blue back on my shoulder, I head out as I pause. Now what?

I've been given some money on a credit card, along with an explanation about what a credit card is, and asked to not go back to the dungeons just yet.

I don't have my pass, I don't know how much of a difference it makes whether I wait for a piece of paper that says I can go into the dungeons or not but apparently it's to keep the local government happy.

When in Rome and all that.

U.A and the government agency that handles dungeons know the location of countless dungeons in Japan alone, and by cooperating with them I'll gain much easier access to the dungeons.

They rank them with a letter system, starting with E rank, like the one I was found in, going up to S for the regular dungeons. U is reserved for 'special' dungeons that can't be ranked by normal methods.

If I play along with the school, I'll get access to the dungeons as well as transportation and support in a great many ways, besides that…

Kaiju. The strongest monsters of all. What Monster Tamer wouldn't want to fight them?!

Isn't taming the strongest monsters the true goal of any tamer? Though that said I think taming weak monsters and making them powerful through training is also a viable practice.

But why limit myself to one method when I can do both? I'll tame powerful monsters and train the weaker ones like Blue to become powerful.

Wandering around the school is interesting for a time before I quickly grow bored of it, there's nobody here after all, school hasn't started yet.

There's a city called Musutafu not too far away from the school and while I don't particularly like civilisation, I might as well see how the other side lives while I have time to kill.

Nezu gave me a phone for if they need to get in contact with me, and it has a map feature. I don't know how to use the map feature but it's good to have it I suppose.

I'll work it out later, for now I'll just go with my gut and wander around until I find something interesting.

I quickly find something alright, but not something that makes me happy. Trash. Lots of trash.

Do the people of this place have no respect for their own land? Why foul up your own territory like this?

There's bins to put the trash in but people just seem to think the gutter or alleyways are a good enough place to ditch their crap, it's annoying.

I attract attention while I'm wandering around, and some whispers as they'd spot Blue sitting on my shoulder, but I hear some of them mention the uniform I'm wearing and they seem to leave me to my devices. U.A is clearly prodigious and well-respected, I can use that.

…Slimes can eat anything, can't they?

"What do you think, Blue? Is this crap edible?" I ask, spotting some litter on the floor and placing him next to it.

Blue apparently agrees as he immediately absorbs it and dissolves it within his body. Nothing goes to waste around my little buddy.

I'm pretty sure he can taste things, he seems to prefer meat to anything else, but he doesn't like his meat cooked at all. If the trash tastes bad, he certainly doesn't seem to care as he moves around the alleyway and dissolves it all.

Hey, food is food and while it won't have the same effect as feeding him a monster, it's gotta have some benefit right?

If we were attracting attention before, it only gets worse as we go around and Blue helps himself to the waste we find, he's smart enough to know what is and isn't food, so we don't have any accidents with him eating someone's pet or car or anything like that. He's such a good boy.

You show those dumb humans not to leave so much trash around, Blue. If we come back and they've left even more then you can just eat them-

Wait no, Nezu says killing is a big no-no here, he seemed shocked when I asked why they don't just kill all the villains.

As we travel, I blink as a message enters my mind. I'm still getting used to this system shit.

King Blue Slime has learnt how to use poison mist

…Blue, what did you just eat?

Turning to my slime, Blue simply stares back at me as it dissolves everything it found in a dumpster.

Can you learn more by eating random things?

"I'm gonna feed you so much weird shit."

Blue simply shakes excitedly as I pick him up and he shrinks down to fit on my shoulder again as we continue our adventure in the concrete jungle.

Fast food is nice, the burgers aren't great but there's lots of them and I can deal with that. Oddly enough, Blue didn't seem to like them despite having eaten literal garbage a few minutes ago but he also enjoyed the wrappers so it worked out in the end.

Oddly enough, nobody seems to be willing to question me about the slime that's been following me around and eating everything.

Apparently they think I'm a junior hero, using my Quirk to clean things up? I don't get it but some of them gave their trash to Blue and he seems happy so who cares.

After our meal, we head off and continue our exploration, eventually ending up on a beach.

Or at least I think it's supposed to be a beach, it's hard to tell over all the junk.

If people trashed such a beautiful natural location like this back home, mother would feed them to her pets.

Walking onto the beach, I pause as I realise that a large portion of the beach is clear, someone has been dragging the heavy junk over to the far side of the beach, and hearing the sounds of someone straining I walk towards it, calming Blue who is getting excited at the site of such a feast.

Spotting the source, I watch as a short green-haired girl drags a massive hunk of metal along the beach, my eyes roaming over her body.

She's attractive enough, with a curvy figure and large breasts, but what's drawing my attention is the muscles she's clearly developing.

Her sweat-drenched t-shirt leaves her arms on display, more muscular than I'd expect. Interesting, is this how she works out?

I think she's fairly new to this, but there's a lot of junk gathered in one place, where she's clearly dragging the newest piece.

Coming to a stop, she doesn't notice my approach as she pants, wiping the sweat from her forehead as her t-shirt moves up a bit to expose her developing abs.

Yeah, she's not been at this for long but she's making good progress. I approve.

"Oi, you done with this junk?" I ask, making her jump and turn to me, green eyes widening as she spots me standing just a few feet away from her.

She's probably surprised someone so big managed to be so quiet, but I've been trained to be a proper hunter, I know how to move silently.

"W-what?" she asks, blinking as she looks up at me in shock and I think some admiration, before she spots Blue. "Is that a slime?"

— Izumi Midoriya —

Staring up at the very large man who'd approached her, she looked between him and the monster that was passively sitting on his shoulder in confusion.

"Yeah, it is. It's my 'Quirk'," he replied, making her eyes widen as she realised why his outfit looked so familiar. He was wearing most of a U.A uniform, even with his chest bare for the world to see. Why did he say Quirk like that? He sounded like he was testing the word. "So, that junk you've been gathering. Do you need it for something?"

"Erm, no, I'm just clearing the beach," Izumi said quickly, blushing slightly as he snorted, catching her looking at his bare chest.

He was in amazing shape, and if his Quirk manifested a Slime-like creature then didn't that mean his muscles were just the product of hard work?

He looked like he could carry the junk she'd been carrying with one hand, while she sat on top of it, bulging muscles and abs drawing her eye.

"You hear that Blue? Dinner's served," the man said, grabbing the slime and simply tossing it towards the junk that All Might usually picked up once she was done gathering it.

Her eyes widened as the slime grew, and just kept growing until it was the size of a van, easily taking a rusted washing machine into its body.

"Thanks," the massive man said, but if he was wearing a U.A uniform then he had to be a student right? Probably a third year, given his size, but then again his face did look pretty youthful, his long messy hair tied back in a loose ponytail.

"You're a student at U.A, right? Do you need to feed your Quirk metal to power it? Where does it store all the mass it's taking in? Does it still weigh the same when it's shrunk-"

"Easy, brat. I'm not a student yet, I start next year, I'm just hanging around the grounds while I wait. And nah, I'm a monster tamer, I just need to feed Blue to help him grow stronger. I don't think he actually gets hungry. Hell if I know how it works, but he weighs basically nothing when he's small," the guy said, making her eyes widen as she looked over his body again.

He was her age?! Wait, if he already had the uniform then he had to be a special recommendation, since the entry exam hadn't happened yet, wow…

"I-I'm Izumi Midoriya, I'm going to be taking the entry exam for U.A soon!" Izumi introduced, making him nod at her. "I look forward to working alongside you!"

"I'm Kaito, I'm not taking the exam, though I might go and get that little furry dude to put me through the exam anyway, I'm curious about what it'll be like," Kaito said, scratching his chin with a curious look on his face. "But good luck, I guess. If you pass, we'll have to spar some time."

Spar? With the guy who looked like he weighed three times as much as her? Who looked like he could break her with a single hand?

"Sure! Oh, I'm going to get back to moving the junk, it's part of my training…" Izumi said, making him nod approvingly.

"Then I won't get in your way, I'm just going to go for a swim while I wait for Blue to finish up. I'll tell him to just eat the junk you pull over to that pile so he doesn't clear the beach immediately and leave you with nothing to do," Kaito said, making her blink as she turned back and saw that the mountain of junk she'd already pulled over had dropped substantially in the time they'd been talking, before she turned back and her eyes widened.

She thought he'd have some swimming trunks, but as Kaito tossed his clothes over to the side and waded into the water, her face turned bright red at his complete nudity.

Were all manhoods that big?! Despite her best efforts, she couldn't help but compare his size to her own privates, there was no way something like that would ever fit inside her, right?!

Hearing a rumble, she turned back and watched as 'Blue' stared down at her, without eyes, seemingly impatient as it waited for her to bring its next meal.

The massive blue slime jiggled as she grabbed the next piece and started to pull into towards the monster, trying to take her mind off Kaito's thing, and as she arrived Blue immediately set upon it with a happy jiggle.

Huh, slimes were actually kinda cute when they weren't trying to eat you.

— Bonus Scene — Momo Yaoyorozu

Getting into U.A was a great honour, doubly so when she was granted entry on recommendation instead of having to go through the entry exams like everyone else.

It was also rare for people to get in with a recommendation, so when Nezu, the Principal of U.A, had contacted her, she'd been slightly worried that something had gone wrong and that she was about to be told the recommendation had been rejected or circumstances had changed, as unlikely as it was.

Instead, as the call ended she sat up proudly, smiling to herself as she considered what she'd just heard.

They wanted her to tutor a foreign student who was joining her year on his own recommendation, apparently he was very powerful but academically challenged and they wanted to know if she'd spend some of her summer tutoring him before school started, potentially continuing during the school year depending on how things went.

Naturally she agreed. Yes, it was true that adding tutoring onto the already busy schedule that U.A demanded would be difficult, but they clearly thought she could handle it.

This 'Kaito' apparently hadn't ever formally studied a lot of the classes, like maths and science, which would make this a challenge, but Principal Nezu seemed to believe in both her and Kaito himself.

She wouldn't let either of them down.
