8:59 am.
"Phew, we made it on time, haha." Eto Airi smirked to Naoyuki, who now was not just sore but also dizzy.
In the last minutes when the mother noticed that the kindergarten was still far away, she gave a damn the feelings of the kid and carried him over her shoulders like a sack of potatoes, and just as a soldier would in a trench, she ran as if there were no tomorrow.
And there they were, the center of attention of an entire avenue, a black-haired beauty sprinting like a football quarterback carrying her 'ball'. That definitely looked more like a kidnap scene than a mother taking her child to school.
And indeed, he wasn't the only person that thought that, half of the spectators around the place looked at the woman like some kind of organ dealer.
Actually, even a pro-hero stopped her with quirk in hand while shouting: "Release the kid!"
"This is not what you think!" She screamed back.
…
The mother had no other choice than stop and explain to the hero their situation, with Naoyuki testifying that they were mother and son, the hero finally accepted her statement. But even so, this hero in question refused to watch that blinding scene once again, so he sent his sidekick to give Naoyuki and his mother a ride.
In the last few seconds, they made it to kindergarten on time, right before the janitor was going to close the gate.
After handing over 'The Naoyuki' in her arms like some kind of 'sacrifice' to the teacher in turn, the mother proudly left the school humming a joyful song.
The boy can't even imagine how was the life of the original Naoyuki with his mother.
Maybe it wasn't a casualty that he died.
--------
But changing the time back to present, Naoyuki could finally observe this building that he might spend a couple of years in. If he has to describe it, he would just say that the place looked like a small version of a normal Japanese secondary school, it has its playground, its not so tall buildings and above all, grass and bushes.
It's important to remark that the insides are not too different compared to a conventional American Kindergarten. The interior decorations are full of colors, and toys are distributed everywhere. All the children here wear their cyan robe, and Naoyuki does so too.
"It's nice to see you again, Naoyuki-chan." The teacher who was now the person carrying him said. "Your classmates missed you so much, they asked about you every day."
"........." Naoyuki studied the young man in front of him, his face was somehow familiar, but sure he have never seen him before, so he deduced that this teacher appeared in the anime.
"Who are you by the way?" The boy asked.
"Huh? What do you mean by who I am?" The young man said back. "I'm your teacher."
"Yeah, but what's your name or last name?"
"You're so weird today, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay, but tell me how should I call you."
"What do you mean, you know exactly what's my name, you always say it."
"No, I don't, I forgot it! Just tell me that at once."
But apparently, for the man, everything had different meaning, he abruptly let Naoyuki fall to the ground, and looking at Naoyuki with suspicion said:
"You're not acting like the Naoyuki-chan I know, who are you in reality! And what're your intention for infiltrating into this school!"
"What the fu… stop fantasizing, I'm Naoyuki, oh lord, I was just asking your name…" Naoyuki slapped his own forehead in sign of regret.
"That tone of voice! That's definitely not the way how Naoyuki-chan talks!"
'Oh damn, why today everybody is such good detective, or am I the bad actor?' Naoyuki thought for a second. But no afraid of anything answered the young man:
"I lost my memory, okay? Ask that to my mother if you don't trust me!"
"What a cheap excuse! I'm calling the police!" The teacher said.
The dramatic reaction of the man amazed the 'little boy', it was completely out of Shakespeare.
"Shut up Karen!" Naoyuki couldn't help to say.
"No, you shut up! And who is Karen!!!"
"No, you shut up!"
"NO, YOU SHUT UP!!!"
"Hey what's going on there!" Perhaps because they were making a fuss and the screaming was too loud, but a woman of the male teacher's age opened the doors of a office and walked to them.
"It's good you're here, Yamamoto-san, here's an intruder that disguised himself as Naoyuki-chan with a quirk, and definitely has cheeky intentions at this place, we should call the police!"
"Wait, what?" The woman who just arrived looked at both people really confused.
Feeling the glance of the woman, Naoyuki made a confused expression with his very very cute shota face, and shrugged as if he had no idea of what was happening.
Meanwhile, the man raised his voice again to continue his conspiracy speech:
"His attitude and tone of voice is definitely different to Naoyuki-chan. And he used a cheap excuse such as losing his memory when I discovered his real identity, think of something better! You villain!" He said while pointing his finger on Naoyuki with outrage.
"....…...." Yamamoto-san.
"...…....." Naoyuki.
"Slap!!!!!" A strong hit impacted on the back of the teacher's head.
The author of that action was no other than Yamamoto-san.
"What are you doing!" The male educator turned to see his college.
But the woman was no intimidated by his angry face, instead, she pulled his ears with disdain. And then spoke to the boy very kindly:
"Naoyuki-chan, could you go alone to the classroom? I have to talk with Okada-sensei." She smiled.
"Yeah, sure." The boy nodded grinning, and then walked like penguin toward the direction the woman pointed.
But before leaving he could overhear the conversation of the two teachers, it was basically Yamamoto-san screaming at Okada-sensei.
"Come on! Yell at me like you did to Naoyuki-chan! I told you in the morning already that the mother of him called me to say that he had an accident that left him concussions, but you were playing with your stupid phone for all the damn conversation, do you ever pay attention to what I say! How am I supposed to look at Eto-san's eyes when she gets to know that her son was screamed by a crazy teacher, in my care! And if she goes complaining with the principal, my salary, your salary, blast! Cut in half! So you better go and apologize with Naoyuki later…"
Naoyuki: ( ̄y▽ ̄)╭ Ohohoho…..
------------
While the argument in the hallways unleashed calamity, the black-haired boy walked with his limited speed, without course nor destination, he had no idea of which door would be his actual classroom.

'What the fu**?!' Naoyuki entered a state of alert, his eyes were wide open looking to all directions, trying to find a reason of the sudden notifications.
[Ding!]
[Main task: Relight the flames of the dreamer: Task progress: -1% (37%)]
"Oh shit! Today is the day when Izuku get bullied for being quirkless, how could I forget that!" Naoyuki snaped his own head.
And in fact, other than the wrong answer provided by his mother when he asked to be a hero, the rejection of his little classmates gave rise to his controversial and extremely insecure behaviours.
The disapproval of people can really become a dream slayer, that was an experience from his past life, specially when the opinions come from people of your age. Naoyuki isn't a saint, but for his part, no one should be treated inferior for wanting to fly higher.
But it's not time for interior monologue, what really matters now is to find Izuku before they cut the percentages to zero. If that happens, his sausage will be cut into zero too.
Naoyuki started to speed up his steps, hoping to find the green head of Izuku behind the windows. But wretchedly, his height was less than a meter, and the windows, are quite high. He would reach them if he jumps, but his body condition is not into leaping right now.
And normally he would keep roaming around, maybe until the two teachers stop arguing, but suddenly, he saw through a half-closed door a kid with a cream-like hair color, which outline can be just described as gel abuse.
Immediately after, Naoyuki knew that was the place, and pushed the door.
