get into the fanfic people get their quirks at the age of four this is simply nature since Quirk started to appear over 200 years ago while exceptions exist mainly in the form of people who are born with their quirks manifestations after the age of four are extremely rare so not surprisingly when more than a month after mider at isuku Fourth birthday his Quirk still showed no sign of manifestation his mom was getting worried going to a specialist some tests are done including an x-ray of izuku's feet after a few minutes analyzing the results isuku and his mother find themselves face to face with a bald doctor with a mustache and weird glasses you have nothing to worry about the doctor subasa is a who thinks that's how he introduced himself says after staring at the X-ray for a while are you sure doctor his mom asks every child at his kindergarten has already manifested their quirks except for isuku you're a fourth generation correct your Quirk I mean Dr tubasa asks what is your and your husband's Quirk I am able to attract small objects towards me the weight doesn't matter as long as it's less than 1 meter isuku mom explains my husband can breathe fire for All rights if a child has a quirk it will manifest at age of 4 Dr tubasa explains with some exceptions in more complex quirks he points to the X-ray of isuku feet according to research done when quirks began to appear this phenomenon was linked to the joints of the pinky of the foot parts of the body that are no longer used are called vestigal parts of course like everything in the world exceptions exist but while I have met people with the extra joint who got quirks I have never met someone without the joint who didn't get a quirk he Taps the X-ray a few times showing that isuku only has one joint in his pinky toes so I can say with confidence that little isuku is just a late bloomer so isuku asks does that mean that I will get a quirk he looks at his mom I can still be a hero Dr tubasa pulls out another folder and opens it showing some images of izuku's head we have taken some brain scans of little isuku he shows them two images the image on the left is a scan of my brain that I took a few months ago the one on the left is of little isuku he shows points at a few spots as you can see your son's brain shows more electrical signals than mine he is also much more active tell me if I am right little isuku demonstrates above average intelligence for his age he is very active and has difficulty falling asleep while four-year-olds usually sleep 10 to 13 hours a night little isuku rarely sleeps more than eight and he never naps during the day although he sleeps little he doesn't show signs of fatigue normally seen in Insomniac children did I get anything wrong no this is exactly what happens Mom replies these patterns are always seen in people with mental quirks his brain works differently and he needs less sleep the reason his Quirk has not yet manifested completely is that mutations in the brain occur slowly Dr tubasa explains the latest case that I can remember happened about 11 or 12 years ago a child's Quirk manifested at the age of 8 it was a mixture of mental and visual Quirk so there's really nothing to worry about mom asks again and the doctor nods that's so good to hear for now I recommend keeping an eye on your child as his brain develops he tends to sleep even less most people with mental quirks sleep sleep at most between 4 to 6 hours a day he will also probably have a big Sweet Tooth glucose is the main fuel of the brain but having a more active brain he will need more glucose than normal people of course be careful about exaggerating he adds other than that little isuku might experience some migraines this is perfectly normal but if it happens too often bring him back here and I will prescribe something to help by see thank you Doctor mom says smiling thank you doctor isuku says bowing to the doctor that night is ISU goes to his room as soon as he gets home he hears his mom and dad arguing about something their voices gradually get louder but isuku cannot understand what they are saying the discussion lasts a few minutes until they fall silent and isuku hears footsteps heading toward his room isuku pretends to be sleeping as the door opens his mom walks towards his bed I love you isaku she says and kisses his curls her voice sounds slightly strained everything will be okay then she leaves and closes the door slowly the next day at the kindergarten is a tells kaken about what the doctor said to his surprise Ken's reaction is anger so it will still take years for your Quirk to manifest and it will be an useless mental Quirk kaken snarls we don't know what will it be yet isuku replies shut up mental quirks are useless kaken yells back you'll just be in useless Deco you're no better than a quirkless then he storms off what they don't realize is that another kid heard kaken yelling and that this would turn into a huge game of broken telephone at the end of the day one story was on everyone's lips midoria isuku is cicus and no matter how many times isuku tries to deny it No One Believes him only a few weeks later his dad moved to America for business this is what his mom says when isuku asks but he knows that's not really the true story that night isuku heard his mom crying when he starts Elementary School the rumor comes along with him and with that no one wanted to be friends with isuku for fear of contracting his quirkless the nickname Deca goes along with him and soon the teasing develops into bullying but no teacher does anything to help divided by m and Co is many things people say she is calm soft spoken gentle kind determined and many other things she has a tendency to worry too much and overthink things but if there is one thing she's not it's stupid and Co is a nurse and because of this she sees a part of society that most people do not she is the head nurse of the hero Ward the number of times she has treated Heroes who have shared stories with her about the worst of society cannot be counted as head nurse and Co is used to dealing with stubborn Heroes hiding and downplaying Ling their wounds but one thing they all learn sooner or later is that enco doesn't take any she is so used to dealing with underground Heroes that she can see from a distance when someone is hiding something from her it was a huge disappointment when she realized that her husband was hiding something a few days later when isaku Quirk showed no signs of manifesting she took him to a quirk specialist she was worried not because she had any problem with her son not having a quirk nothing in this world could make her love her son less what worried her was the Discrimination she knew that quirkless people suffered when she told hasashi about what the doctor said he could hardly hide his disgust so he'll have a mental Quirk hasashi had said that's useless no quk is useless hasashi and Co tried to say but hasashi was dead set on calling isuku useless they argued until hasashi had had enough and left the house after that she went to isu's room despite her son's efforts it was evident that he was pretending to sleep and that he heard them fighting and Co felt guilty none of this is her son's fault there were many things she could say at that moment the words I'm sorry were on the tip of her tongue but that's not what isuku needed to hear at this moment I love you isaku she settled on saying as she planted a kiss on his curls everything will be okay the next day isaku returned home with a sad expression and tear marks on his face but he would not say what had happened sometime later hasashi came home saying he needed to move to America because of his work and Co almost started laughing right there since when does a car mechanic travel for work and to America and Co had enough and demanded the truth with some pressure hasashi broke down and confessed that he had another family that day en Co gave him one hour to gather his things and never appear in front of her again that night she cried bitter tears she loved hasashi so much and this is what she gets isaku asked her what had happened and she said that hasashi had to move urgently to America because of his work isuku obviously didn't buy the excuse but this was the last time hasashi was ever mentioned in the house time passed and isuku kept coming home sad he became hesitant to go to daycare whereas before he loved to go it was obvious that something was going on but no matter how much she asked isuku would not tell this continued for another year after starting Elementary School isuku began to come home injured he would always make an excuse saying that he had fallen or that he was playing and the other kids took it a bit too far she didn't believe it for a single moment but the last straw was when isaku came home crying with a note from the teachers saying that he had been suspended for starting a fight with his classmates that ended up breaking three desks isaku clearly had a broken arm and was crudely immobilized with a lot of coaxing from her isuku finally relented and told her about the bullying he was suffering at school now one thing must be said about mothers never mess with a mother especially a mother known for intimidating Pro Heroes on a daily basis and who has more than her share of favors owed to her the next day she called in one of these favors in the form of small bugs capable of turning off security cameras for a few minutes with this in hand she marched into isuku school deactivating every single camera on her path and practically burst into the principal's office she sent the director her most intimidating look the same one that made even Endeavors shut up while she was treating him after a raid I'm here to talk about my son she says I talked to him yesterday and he told me a few interesting things that been happening here do I mean midia is a troubl make midia San the principal replies with a frown he's always picking fights with other students being disruptive in class and leaving a mess behind just yesterday three desks were broken because of him is that so in Co asks then you don't mind showing me the recordings I know you keep she says in a sweet tone after all it's required by law for every classroom to have security cameras well you see there was a small accident and we lost the recordings the principal makes an excuse oh really she asks well then time for Plan B do you know what my Quirk is Mr principal I'm not sure the man replies why oh it's quite simple to be honest my Quirk allows me to pull small objects towards me it doesn't matter the weight as long as it's small I can pull she raises her hand towards the man and he straightens with a pained expression internal organs are pretty small don't you think are you threatening me the man asks me she laughs and tugs onto the man's heart I'm just the sweethead nurse of mustafunk Hospital hero Ward who would believe that I threatened you I have cameras he replies no you don't she smiles frighteningly at him I made sure to deactivate all the cameras so there is no proof that I was even here today she tugs once more and approaches him so that's what will happen from now on you will treat my son with respect and you will will not let the bullying continue because I assure you of one thing if I have to come back here I will leave here in a police van and you will leave this room in a body bag are we clear crystal clear midia San the principal now pale as a corpse nods quickly good she put her sweet nurse smile on her face and I want this suspension off his record of course it was all just a big misunderstanding the principal says midor yakan can come back tomorrow and we'll make sure to investigate this bullying case perfect she turns to leave now I have to go my shift starts in 1 hour have a nice day principal as she left and Co Smiles as she heard the principal sighing in relief divided by isak who doesn't know what his mom did but whatever it was it worked his suspension was removed after only one day and the kids who attacked him were suspended in his place the teacher apologized for the misunderstanding and since then he has stepped in when he sees bullying going on not perfect the students keep calling him deu and other offensive names but at least they have stopped hitting him the main bully remains kaken who takes every possible opportunity to call isuku useless and brag about how Superior he is but even he cannot attack isuku without being punished by the teachers he stopped trying after the third detention although he doesn't like the insults being treated fairly by the teachers is enough to make the school experience enjoyable after all isuku has always enjoyed learning and this is something he doubts will ever change four years pass with no sign of isuku Quirk manifesting on his 9th birthday his mom gets a day off from work to spend it with him isaku has no friends and after admitting that kaken was his main bully at school his mom ended up distancing herself a bit from mitsuki they are still on good terms but no longer best friends like they used to be because of this the celebration ends up being just isuku and his mom eating a cake she baked but that's more than enough for isuku ISU dear can you go fetch the plates his mom asks okay Mom isuku replies and starts running for the kitchen don't run dear you'll fall I'm fine mom don't W isuku trips on something and Falls face first to the floor I'm okay he says and hears his mom chuckling when he looks back he sees their Roomba moving around looks like they forgot to put it away again isuku reaches to pick it up but stops when he suddenly sees some white tendrils sticking out of his fingertips the tendrils move to the Roomba and attach themselves to it concentrating something similar to a screen appears in front of isuku what is that isuku mumbles on the screen is a large Square White Arena in the center of the arena is a still black sphere and at the bottom is a white triangular ship isuku thinks for a moment and as he concentrates on the ship it begins to move it takes him only a few seconds to understand exactly how to move the ship and then he concentrates on the black sphere the ship starts shooting white projectiles at the sphere which explodes and disappears after being hit a few times the interface darkens slightly and the message hacking complete appears in underlined Capital white letters after this the interface disappears but isuku still feels something as he concentrates similar IL LLY to how he did with the ship the Roomba starts to move isuku is startled and the Roomba stops he focuses again and the Roomba moves again vacuuming the floor isuku realizes that he is the one controlling the Roomba this can only mean one thing ISU dear his mom enters the kitchen are you okay isuku turns to his mom with his biggest smile then points to the Roomba mom mom look he concentrates and Roomba starts moving I finally have my Quirk that's amazing ISU she says what happened I tripped on the Roomba and went to pick it up when those white things came out of my fingers he concentrates on severing his connection to the Roomba and it happens then he raises his hand and once more the tendrils come out see like this the tendrils touch the Roomba and again the interface comes back and then this interface appeared but this time it only asks if he wants to control the Roomba and isuku thinks yes then he's in control of the small robot again I can't see anything ISU his mom says but I can see you're controlling it that's amazing does this mean can be a hero now isuku asks oh dear Quirk or no quirk I know you can be the best hero his mom replies immediately tears well up in his eyes and isuku jumps into a hug his mom skillfully catches him and Returns the hug adding her own tears to the mix after all they wouldn't be Midas without a lot of Tears isaku wakes up in a weird place it is all dark looking around there are several corridors made up of 0 seconds and 1 second he can't remember how he got here looking down he realizes that his feet are not not touching the floor there doesn't even seem to be any floor here is this a dream he tries to pinch his cheek but besides the pain nothing happens ouch I guess not it takes him a few minutes of practice to learn how to move in this strange Place once he gets used to it he begins to explore the area approaching the weird walls he finds a door but as he tries to open it an interface appears in front of his face asking for a password he tries some random passwords but nothing works frustrated he runs his hand over the interface and it closes then he extends his hand toward the strange doorknob white tendrils emerge from his arm and connect to the door and then an interface with a ship appears just like when he tried to control the Roomba this time the black sphere in the center of the screen has two small silver barriers floating around it as expected the barriers block the ship's shots but there is enough space between the barriers to shoot destroying the sphere opens the door and the message hacking complete appears in the interface entering the door he finds himself in a room with the same walls of 0 seconds and 1 second is the hall the place is full of cubes and when he gets close to them he sees little pictures curiously he touches one of the cubes and his interface opens again playing a video of someone he doesn't know at a party he tests another Cube and this time it's a video of a woman dancing ballet deciding that this is private he closes the video and continues searching until he finds a video with all might opening the video shows a street with a lot of debris on the ground run isuku he hears his mom's voice in his head the recording points to a pile of Rebel from which the rescue team pulls a lifeless child isu's eyes wden because he recognizes this kid it's him but how he asks looking at his own hands am I dead the camera moves again the policemen are moving another body mom isaku says tears Gather in his eyes and fall down on the infinite void he's in what happened the camera shows a few policemen bringing a man in handcuffs and suddenly it all starts coming back to isaku he was going with his mom to finally register his Quirk he even got to skip school today but then a villain attack happened and they got trapped it's all might someone yelled have no fear all might proudly says because I am here isaku was excited he had the chance to see all might fighting in person his mom wasn't so excited she picks him up and starts running but the villain was going in the same direction then as the villain was just in front of them Detroit all might charges his punch wait all might someone yells there's some smash all might either doesn't hear or ignores the warning the punch hits the villain but the display wind hits isuku and his mom sending them fly his mom tries to protect isuku with her body run isuku his mom says to him but before he could a pile of rubble fell on them burying isuku and his mom did isuku brings a hand to his face he can't stop crying did all might kill my mom and me it's a tragedy that this happened but at least it was just a quirkless child isaku jumps as he hears all might's voice and then looks back at the video all might is talking to a police officer and despite his gentle words he doesn't look the least sadden he's still with his smile if it wasn't now it would happen soon anyway the mother didn't deserve that though isuku feels like his world was just shattered the tears stop falling immediately and isuku just stares in shock just a quirkless child so his death doesn't matter because he's quirkless is this what all might thinks isuku stops paying attention and just focuses on his mom's body being carried away the video ends a few seconds later and the interface vanishes it doesn't take long to put two and two together despite what his teachers say isuku is not dumb somehow just before he died isuku uploaded his mind to some nearby device judging by the videos he found it's someone's cell phone leaving the room through the same door he came in this time the hallway is different instead of the abstract walls of 0 seconds in one second it is a long Corridor resembling a hotel he once went to when his parents were still together above the door he has just left is a design similar to theater curtains isaku mentally notes this symbol as the video gallery each door in the corridor has a similar design some are open and others require a password just like the Roomba hacking passwords is immensely easy in a few minutes isuku has access to the entire cell phone but he stays away from the messages respecting the person's privacy being stuck here he can't even attend his mom's funeral he's stuck on this cell phone for a few weeks only using the internet to distract himself and keep himself busy he finds out that his mom's funeral was a big event he knows his mom was the Beloved Head Nurse of the hero Ward many Heroes cry for her he also learns that all might couldn't be bothered to show up all the admiration that isuku once felt for all might has evaporated in these weeks instead he feels only anger even more so as he does some research all might is the main culprit for the quirkless people suffering such discrimination today he has never explicitly said it but he constantly implies in interviews that the quirkless are less evolved and that they can't do anything he constantly implies that a person is useless simply because they aren't able to change the color of their own hair and the years after all might appeared the rate of hate crimes and discrimination against quirkless people Rose astronomically isuku doesn't know what to do with this knowledge one day he senses other machines around concentrating on them another interface appears in front of him and isuku jumps into the other machine appearing in a much larger room looking around a bit he realizes that he's in a cyber cafe well I guess this place is better than a cell phone isuku mutters as he looks around the security here is higher than on the cell phone but he still doesn't have much trouble hacking he soon gets access to the cameras and for the first time in weeks he can see for himself after a while he decides he'll stay here as he explores his new home he thinks about what he'll do now Mia isuku is legally dead no one knows he is there and frankly isuku doesn't know if he would like to come back his mom the only person who loved him is dead all might is an idiot and isaku will make him pay one day but for now he has a quirk to learn how to use divided by the Mia's funeral was much bigger than anyone would have expected all the heroes who had once passed through mustafa's Hospital showed up to pay their respect the fury they feel for all might is enormous even more so because they all heard how he talked about the child who died because of him as if it didn't matter all might has the great respect and Adoration of the masses but the heroes those who know what goes on under the covers and the manipulation of the hpsc know the truth all might has more innocent victims under his name than most of the villains he has apprehended all might may be respected by the public but every good hero out there despises him at midoria and CO's funeral many Heroes share their experiences with her the yet firm nurse who always made sure they were well enough to fight another day on that day Al mafu Mourns the death of a gentle soul and a child who departed too soon the hero's present observe is a tall man with curly hair approaches crying oh and Co the man cries I'm so sorry you were the best thing that ever happened to me and I threw everything away if the resemblance to the dead child wasn't indication enough this man's words would confirm it he's Eno's ex-husband and midoria isu's father yet with all the tears he sheds for his dead wife he doesn't even mention his son what about isuku a blonde woman that was close asks who the man replies looking at her the woman furiously punches him in the face your son you cheating son of a the woman screams at him the kid that you abandoned and why because he didn't have a quirk because you couldn't keep your pants on don't you dare come here and cry for enoan when you're the one who cheated on her and abandoned her mitsuki the man tries but the woman punches him again shut up she screams again you either leave or I'll make you leave you don't get to come come here and act like a regretful husband you never deserved enco you never deserved isuku go spit your lies to someone who gives a the screaming continues but no one stops the woman no one has the heart for it and frankly there isn't a single person there who doesn't think that man deserves it he deserves worse the funeral continues after the man runs away with his tail between his legs that day two coffins are buried and life goes on no one would imagine that the child they have just buried is actually still alive far away unaware of anything happen happening isuku was beginning to explore his new Quirk a few months have passed since isuku began using the cyber cafe as his base of operations in that time he has learned a lot about his Quirk analyzing quirks has always been his passion after all but something else happened since he entered these computers his processing capacity has increased hundreds of times compared to when he was human his theory is that his processing power will increase or decrease depending on what kind of machine he installed himself in another thing isuku discovered is that he's able to download Knowledge from the internet directly into his mind but he doesn't like to do that he feels like he's cheating so he only does this if he needs immediate access to some kind of knowledge other than that he prefers to read and learn the old-fashioned way well old-fashioned is used in a very loose way here even reading normally he can process millions of words in a second and read several things simultaneously after a few days of studying his Quirk he discovers a few things is quirk is at its base an advanced form of technopathy is tendrils can stretch up to 10 me ERS and he can hack and manipulate any machine they touch long enough he can launch his tendrils from any device that is currently hosting him the tendrils are intangible and invisible to the naked eye once inside the machine he can basically control it as he sees fit depending on what he tries to hack he may need to hack several times until he has access to everything how he sees the place he's in depends on his level of understanding when he first entered the cell phone he was simply viewing pure data but once he understood how his Quirk worked he could shape the data thus creating the corridors he can manipulate the data to take almost any shape he desires he was also able to simulate all of his senses with the data the most difficult ones were smell and taste he doesn't need to eat but he can create yummy treats and eat them without any negative repercussions so why wouldn't he take advantage what the doctor had said about isuku having a sweet tooth was completely on the spot he also created a room for himself identical to his old bedroom except for all the all might's merch which was replaced by other Heroes merch isuku can enter anywhere he has some kind of Gateway the easiest way to access it is VI internet but he can hack machines without internet access if the device hosting him is close enough to them when he was thinking about what to call his Quirk he remembered all the kids at school ridiculing him for his analysis of Heroes and Quirk stalker notes they called the analysis feeling Petty isuku decides to call his Quirk cyber stalking unfortunately for isuku even the internet can only do so much to appease his boredom the fact that he can go through almost the entire internet in a few minutes doesn't help much with that unless than a month he must have seen every post on every hero Forum in existence and watched every video about heroes on the internet and analyzed every hero with some kind of data released to the public after this he decides to start watching the heroes live there are cameras all over the city and by using them isuku can follow practically any hero in existence when the camera he was hosting was destroyed during a fight isuku discovered that if the device hosting him is destroyed he will be sent back to the last device he was in following and watching Heroes closely also made him more and more disappointed in society so many Heroes act just as bad or even worse than the villains they arrest of course not all heroes are bad isuku found several Heroes he still adors and always follows on his patrols eraser head present Mike ingenium midnight edshot best genst maruko gang Orca fum and Ruku to name a few there are others but he sticks to this group as for the villains in costume isuku has a great time compiling all the dirt he can find on them and sending them directly to the police some of them the police can hand without much trouble but those who are at the top of the rankings and who think they are Untouchable because of it these isuku releases to the public eye and lets the masses deal with them it doesn't take long for isuku to get a reputation people start calling him the hero Crusher clearly comparing him to the hero killer stain isuku isn't thrilled about being compared to a killer but he brushes it aside it's not like anyone could do anything against him soon after he decides to hack the hpsc In Search of information about a hero frankly it is disappointing how easy it is for him to get into their servers their security is laughable but as isuku hacks them he is even more disappointed by what he finds the sheer corruption in this institution is absurd so many crimes committed by heroes are covered up every day he also finds all the secrets of all might that he was injured in a fight against a villain a few weeks ago this explains why he has been so absent lately and then the worst part he finds out about one for all all might's Quirk that can be passed from person to person and all might was quirkless before he got the Quirk from that moment on isuku vows that he will destroy this Hypocrites career no matter how long it takes he knows that Society is practically on all might's back as much as he wishes he could just release everything to the public he can't do that yet Society is not ready for this Revolution and innocent people will suffer if he is careless for now all might may continue to sit on his throne of bones but his time will come first he has other fish to fry a huge flaming fish known as Endeavor the ease of hacking the hpsc makes izuku's job extremely easy even more so with them keeping all the evidence against their Heroes locked up with them probably for future blackmail this is a project that isuku takes his time with and he cherishes every second of it first he gets the videos that show the great collateral damage that endeavor is always causing the fatality rates in his captures even against a simple purse snatcher the countless civilians and even psychics who died in his Crossfire day after day he releases the videos and just when the Endeavor PR team starts to fight the damage he releases the next one it doesn't take long before endeavor's credibility is completely undermined and he starts to lose places in the Hero rankings the final nail in the coffin is when isuku releases what Endeavor did to his family the contracts that tra Todoroki Ray in a quirk marriage the videos of the training he did with both his older and younger son how his eldest son's death was basically his fault his neglect of his other children isaku is a little worried about the rest of the family but they are taken in by another hero and isuku makes sure to check that this is a good hero in person power loader is apparently a good hero but isuku will keep an eye out the fall of endeavor is the last straw for hpsc isuku isuku infamy reaches astronomical level the hero commission soon announces that the hero Crusher is a rank of villain and offers great rewards for any information about him little do they know that isuku possesses all the information necessary to destroy them if he wanted to but he understands that now is not the time for this the fall of the hpsc will cause a collapse in the whole society despite what the hpsc has declared isuku doesn't want to be a v he decides to turn his attention elsewhere the hero killer stain stain is difficult to locate but isaku finds some videos of him on the internet his speech about how the hero Society is corrupt and so far he agrees there are too many fake Heroes but when stain says that the only real hero is all might isuku can't stand it and starts laughing he decides to contact the villain himself divided by akaguro chisom AKA stain has just plunged his sword into the chest of yet another fake hero this cursed man used his Fame to attract women and then abuse them stain doesn't feel an ounce of pity for him and simply leaves him abandoned in the alley until he dies from the bleeding he soon escapes from the place before anyone sees him once he is far enough away he takes off his mask and continues walking it has been a few months since he lost his nose and he has gotten used to the sensation but he still feels Phantom pains in the area from time to time suddenly a nearby phone booth starts ringing and he feels watched but looking around there is nothing but a security camera in front of a closed restaurant he ignores the phone booth and keeps walking but the feeling doesn't go away and every phone booth he passes starts ringing tired of this he angrily enters the phone booth and answers immediately hearing a robotic voice probably altered by some device hello stain glad you finally decided to take my call I was about to call you on your personal phone if you kept ignoring me the voice greets him who the hell you stain asks someone with information your Crusade is a noble one but you are mised on your concept of true and fake Heroes The Voice replied I'm not misguided I know the difference between a good hero and a fake one stain growls and yet you say the only true hero is all might you ignore underground Heroes and any hero that as much as have merch as a fake in your books The Voice Chuckles even though all might is the biggest showman of all heroes he's still a true hero in your books what's your point stain asks angrily stain gets a notification on his phone when he looks it's an email with many files attached this is everything I have on all might read it and when you're ready call this number then he hangs the call stain frowns and looks over the files they all have the hpsc seal it's then that it Downs at him this was the hero Crusher their methods might differ but they both are fighting to eliminate the fake Heroes he decides to read the files later if half the reputation the hero Crusher has is trustworthy then these files are the real deal he's not ready at all for what he's about to find divided by isaku knows he's about to shatter stain's entire perspective and the man will need at least a few days to process what he'll learn there's also the h PSC problem but he can leave them for later for now he ignores them and moves on to his next Target he isaku already knows everything about all the heroes registered under the hpsc except for those who work at the U NSU keeps all information about his employees under lock and key isuku needs to know if it's just a matter of security or if they have something to hide with this in mind he finds a gateway to uas security system and begins hacking at first he feels disappointed the first barrier is so easy to overcome the security is only a little higher than that of hpsc too easy he soon eats his words after breaking the third barrier isuku could barely access basic information such as the school janitor's name and the Supply cabinet's location this is useless to him he continues onward getting information about the students allergies apparently they have someone who is allergic to water interesting but also useless from then on security is increased to a level that isuku can describe as bullet hell he feels like he is playing tahoo project with the number of projectiles he has to to dodge while trying to destroy the next core despite his efforts a shot hits him forcing him off the servers isaku keeps trying this time leaving a back door so that he doesn't have to do it all over again in case he fails on the fourth attempt he finally manages to break the core but he doesn't end up where he expected instead he finds himself in a dark room with only a huge interface in front of his face showing an office chair with its back to the camera it is a pleasure to finally be able to talk to the legendary hero Crusher you've made quite a name for yourself you know a cheerful voice says from behind the chair the chair slowly rotates until it faces the camera revealing some kind of anthropomorphic rodent wearing a suit still I did not expect a hacker of his caliber to fall into such a simple the rodent who isuku knows it's nzu blanks as he looks at isuku on his screen trap a kid a giant cursor arrow goes to isuku and drags him to the center of the screen hey let me go isuku struggles trying to free himself from the cursor are you really the hero Crusher the rat asks no of course you are I made sure you would be the only one who could get here still I was expecting someone bigger and not small isuku pounce and looks away I meant someone older the rat tries again I'm already 10 that's double digits isuku replies showing his two hands this strange interaction between the two was the first step in creating a relationship that would make even the greatest of Heroes and the worst of villains tremble with fear few things in this world can surprise nzu that is the advantage of possibly being the most intelligent creature in the world unfortunately this also means that life can be very boring for him one of the few entertainments he has is his weekly chess matches with his former personal student however things in these last few weeks have become incredibly interesting all because of a new villain the only thing this so-called villain has done is expose the corruption of several Heroes that the hpsc was hiding and they did a good job with that but of course the hpsc didn't like that especially when it cost them their number two hero NSU knew that it was only a matter of time before the so-called hero Crusher went after his files after all the files of the heroes who work for him are kept under lock and key with this in mind nedu set a trap for them he only wanted to talk so the Trap would take him to a chat room where they could speak peacefully without the risk of being traced now as already stated very few things in this world surprise nzu discovering that the rank of villain known as hero Crusher is actually a 10-year-old child is one of them the fact that this child died and was buried a year ago is another in short this child managed to surprise NSU twice in less than 10 minutes something unprecedented for the Chimera after the initial shock nzu has another Pleasant Discovery this boy is brilliant brilliant and suspicious but that is to be expected from someone with so much knowledge no one discovers the things he has discovered about the heroes without being disappointed by them yet nzu wants to have this boy as his student a mind like this needs to be cultivated but with someone so wary he can't just offer himself as a mentor but nzu doesn't mind playing the long game he just needs to play his cards right will you let me go the kid asks him after they speak for a few minutes well I don't want to arrest you and I doubt I could in the first place the kid Giggles confirming that he also doesn't think NSU can catch him but before you go how about a game what kind of game the kid asks narrowing his eyes I'm quite particular to chess NSU replies I can even throw something in for you I'm listening the kid replies you wanted the files on my employees right well I'll give you one for each Victory against me a risky gamble but nzu doesn't intend to lose and I choose which one so he wants someone specific it's fine by me NSU replies but whether you win or lose only one file per day we can play more if you want but only for fun and if I lose when not if you have to answer a question nzu replies I won't force you to tell me anything and you can pass a question if you don't want me to reply but if you pass I get to ask another question until you answer one the kid pouts and Taps his cheek a few times then he nods all right I accept the kid says with this Ned's sets up the interface for the chess game the boy is clever but evidently an amateur the first game is easily won by nzu Checkmate he announces looks like the kid replies what's your question your name nzu already knows the kid's name but the kid doesn't know that and he's sure that if he knew he'd probably run no pass the kid replies very well in this case NSU thinks for a few moments favorite color the kid blinks a few times like he wasn't expecting this question at all red he replies is that really your question I'm more interested in learning about you than anything else nzu shrugs I can ask other questions when you trust me enough to answer them it's still feels like I'm cheating the kid replies if I had one I'd get one of your files on a hero doesn't look like a fair exchange you seem to have pretty solid morals for a villain nzu observes I'm not a villain the kid replies indignant despite the hpsc labeling me as such I don't want to destroy Society or something like that I just want the villains in costume to pay for their crimes especially all might all might nzu asks why all might sorry sir you'll need to win another game tomorrow to ask this the kid replies and will you answer nzu asks and the kid just shrugs which nzu interprets as a no well I'd be happy if you visit it again he says and sends a token on the screen you can use this to access my personal PC without having to go through all this hassle again it was a hassle the kid mutters but it was also fun I never had so much difficulty hacking someone you're welcome to keep trying Ned replies of course if you do pass my firewall I'll make sure to upgrade it so it never happens again I'd be disappointed otherwise the kid replies thank you for the game sir I'll visit another time then the avatar on his screen disappears leaving no traces that he was ever there not even nzu can track him there's no way this kid is just a really good hacker there must be a quirk at play but what exactly is it oh well nzu always loved a good puzzle and this kid is the best puzzle he got in decades hurrying up would only spoil the fun as Neu cackles into his teacup all the teachers at UA feel a chill run down their spines divided by isuku has to admit his conversation with principal NSU was fun it was the first time he had ever played chess and he knew he wouldn't win but he was prepared to answer some questions he didn't expect the question to be what his favorite color was but he still answered honestly he is sure that the rodent is up to something but if it is problematic isuku can just disappear he knows that in his current state he is practically Untouchable except maybe for a computer virus in fact isaku should probably start researching some way to protect himself in case someone discovers his virtual mind his whole mind has been converted into computer code which means that like any program he can be hacked if he's not careful well that's a problem for later because now he's getting a call on the number he gave stain so he activates the program to mask his voice and answers it hello stain he greets is this really true stain's voice is strained all might is supposed to be the one true hero and you're telling me he's just another fake this is what the hpsc hides from the public isaku confirms one day he might have been a true hero but he fell down from Grace then he needs to be called too stain growls you won't touch him akaguro chisom isuku threatens all might is mine I just showed this to show you how you're misguided in your definition you killed some good Heroes too you know what do you mean stain asks red light isuku names a hero that was killed 2 months ago you killed him after he used the money from his hero work to buy a huge plot of land well the plot was to be used to build a charity Center for homeless people your mission is Noble but your way of operating is based on ideals that are impossible to achieve after all you believe that Heroes should not be paid for their deeds but how can they even live if they are not paid a person doesn't live on Goodwill alone isaku continues if the person is a good hero why should their motives matter as long as they save lives and are not horrible humans it's enough you're saying I should stop hunting fake Heroes stain asks of course not I'm not stopping anytime soon isuku replies I'm asking you to start looking at who are really fake Heroes for instance fatgum he has been known to visit all the food stalls he finds during his patrols on paper he is neglecting his Patrol to eat but is he really he Chuckles let's look at a few facts fatgum cork Works off his fat reserves he's one of the most efficient Heroes and his Patrol routes are among the safest ones they weren't like that before he started patrolling them and by visiting food stalls he is helping the vendors after all what better marketing than having a famous hero eating at your stall then what should I do stain asks by now he just sounds lost I'd suggest looking into underground Heroes they are the closest you'll find of the true heroes you talk to isuku replies and before calling another fake hero make sure they are really fake he pauses for a moment if in doubt call this number again I can help you our methods may be different stain but we want the same thing you gave me a lot to think about stain size I think I'll take some time to reflect on it but thank you and and if you encounter a fake hero that you can't handle using the system point me in their Direction I'll take care of the problem then he hangs the call well looks like isuku did a good job only time can say what will happen to stain now favorite food nzu asks after his third win once it was catsin isuku replies but now anything sweet I'm particular to caramel though I quite like honey to be honest nzu says I'm not sure if it's the blame lies in the bar and me or the mental Quirk probably both to be honest isaku shrub he extends his hand and concentrates then a caramel candy appears in his hand that's an interesting trick Neu comments well I can eat candy without risking a sugar crash or having diabetes isuku shrugs I'd be dumb not to take advantage of this now why don't you ask something nzu says I'd been learning a lot about you but you still know nothing about me isuku thinks for a few seconds then the cup in nsu's hand catches his attention what are you drinking he asks oh this nzu shows his cup to the camera it's sweet tea basically black tea sweetened while still Brewing I like to sweeten it with honey and add a bit of lemon that actually sounds pretty good isaku should try making it if you want I can teach you how to make it yes please isuku replies it has been a while since I tried anything new in his 15th match isuku finally managed to beat nzu to be honest he has been training hard these past few days but all the training has paid off to his surprise nzu doesn't seem bothered by his defeat he almost seems proud well a deal is a deal I will give you the files of one of the teachers who do you want nzu asks power loader fuku asks making NSU raise an eyebrow I need to know if the kids are safe with him they were already abused by a hero I won't let it happen again I can assure you that power loader is treating the todorokis well nzu replies and isuku feels the files getting to the email he uses but you can see for yourself thank you sir isuku nods then start looking over the files which appear in front of him in the form of paper sheets excavation hero power loader Quirk iron claws birthday September 17th blood type A height 155 CM he has pretty good stats especially his power and intelligence but that is not what isuku is looking for where is it where is it there it is casualty reports collateral damage civilian comments psychological evaluation as every hero should power loader regularly sees a therapist he has no buried crime reports or any kind of a legal deal his licenses both hero and support are up to date and all safety courses are up to date overall everything seems to be fine this is enough for the moment for isuku to accept that the todorokis are safe okay isuku says looking at nuu he seems safe but make sure he treats them well they deserve it every kid deserves a good family NSU replies you too and I'd still have if it were not for a bastard with too much power and too little sense isuku grumbles but that's beside the point if you ever want to talk I'm here for you Neu says maybe one day isuku replies but not today he can't say he trusts nzu enough yet he does like the Chimera it feels like he's his first friend since kaken but kaken betrayed him will nzu betray isuku as well the worst part of being technically a computer program is that isuku rarely has anything to occupy his time practically everything he tries to do he only needs a few seconds he was already considered quite intelligent even before his Quirk manifested but in his current state modesty aside he is a genius and being a genius is a complete four the best part of his week is his chess matches with nzu but the Chimera is busy so he can't play with isuku all the time heck just the time he manages to take to teach and play with isuku is a lot considering he's not only a hero but also the principal of the biggest hero School in Japan before he would be hacking hero agencies or the hpsc to get more information on the heroes but even for that there's only so much he can do heck isuku already has information on every single hero Limelight Twilight and underground in Japan except for the UA employ es and isuku is going a bit slower on his hero Crusher Shenanigans as for nezu's suggestion as much as he wants to purge Japan from the villains and costume he doesn't want Society to crash so he's going a bit slower with his whole exposing Heroes crimes thing he's more than willing to play the long game anyway but well this means that he has a lot of free time at the moment and he's about to go crazy if he doesn't find something to do soon the idea came when isuku was listening to One of present Mike's podcasts where the hero recounted a few of his funniest encounters during patrols like really listeners I swear the guy's Quirk was shooting popcorn from his fingers and I'm not talking about those hard popcorn kernels no popped soft popcorn why did he think this was a strong enough weapon to use against a Pro Hero I have no idea but my jacket smelled like butter for weeks the situation was hilarious and it gave isuku an idea he's already practically a stalker he can easily start following Heroes more often it's not like he's going to get in their way but first with a mischievous grin isuku dial the number for the nearest movie theater from the put your hands up radio station divided by today was a very productive day for Yamada hasashi but to be fair he always considers the days he works at his radio station productive what can he say he loves his program his favorite part is when he can answer his listeners calls especially the little listeners it is no secret to anyone who knows him that hasashi wishes to have children of his own one day through adoption of course sleeping with a woman is something that does not even cross his mind the truth is that he only has eyes for one person although he is too cowardly to dream of telling them how he feels but that's not the point the point is that he loves his radio station but unfortunately he can't stay there forever it's time to go home to his Empty Apartment that's the worst part of his day but there's not much he can do at least he and Nim managed to convince shaa to go drink with them this weekend so he has something to look forward to it's important to always look at the positive side he's about to pack his things when someone calls him hey boss his young turn a second year in hero Class B who just got his provisional license says from the door of his Ash's office come on little listener how many times do I have to say quit with the boss asashi whines I'll stop calling you boss when you stop calling me little listener the boy replies with a smirk touche asashi replies that's not happening anytime soon so what is it well we just got a delivery the boy replies scratching his head that no one here ordered it came with a note addressed to you all right let me see asashi replied his intern takes a step back and opens the door all the way then he enters with a giant bag of popcorn like the thing is almost his size and it's filled to the brim his ashy blinks a few times at the back then looks back to his intern security checked it's just popcorn the boy replies what a weird gift hasashi replies as he picks up the note with the intern hey present Mike I love your program I hope you like my gift it looked like you really like popcorn m o s well he has no idea who this Mido is but there's no way he's about to waste a gift from one of his listeners assemble the entire staff on the fourth floor Hisashi says grinning we're having a surprise movie night sure thing boss his intern salutes and then leaves as ashy reads the note one more time but there's absolutely no hint of who this madori could be but well hasashi will make sure to thank them in his next program he can probably get some more funny Patrol stories with his friends to tell later yeah sounds like a plan divided by the racer head looks wearily around from his Vantage position at the top of a building he doesn't know how but he's sure he's being observed it's been going on since he left home for his Patrol but he hasn't caught even a shadow from his stalker he doesn't feel any ill intention but you can never be too careful in this profession the racer head is an underground hero and you don't survive as one without a healthy dose of paranoia he knows he's not going crazy either because other Heroes also mentioned the same feeling most of them came to become victims of hero Crusher not long after but shaa is not worried about that first of all he has nothing to and secondly even if he did an underground hero does not depend on public opinion besides his numbers speak for him the hero Crusher has no reason to Target him his Patrol has been pretty uneventful which is honestly a rarity and usually would make him grateful but today he's on edge hey eraser an unknown voice says in his comms there's a drug dealing happening two streets down who the hell are you kid eraser head asks but he's already moving in the direction he was guided it could be a trap but his gut says it's not this frequency is private and it's outrageously easy to hack you should be more careful if I were a villain it would be dangerous the kid replies and I'm not a kid your reaction says the opposite the racer head says would a kid be hacking hero coms to tip underground heroes in the location of criminals the kid shoots back I'd argue that only a kid would be dumb enough to do this the racer head replies found it and right on time looks like something went wrong they are about to start fighting the kid says be careful the guy with the Mohawk has an Aiming Quirk and a gun gry beard can leech energy via skin contact don't let him touch you both quirks you can erase so you must be fine there's a guy with an elephant mutation at the alley entrance though be careful nodding ER raser head jumps down from the roof falling on the man with the Mohawk and already aiming a raser at the second one in less than a second he has both men tied there wasn't supposed to be any heroes in this area who are you the hawk guy asks shouta is about to reply when a song starts playing on his comms we my haters we're my haters I don't got I'm not famous no are you serious shaa asks with an unimpressed expression it don't matter what my name is I don't got one I'm not famous no and I don't hate it no as the song continues eraser head hears the kid excitedly singing along is that necessary eraser head asks once he hands over the criminals to the police and returns to his Patrol route you can't say it's not a great song the kid replies I can't listen to music on patrol kid distractions are an invitation to a trip to the hospital or Cemetery the racer head argued this is why you're one of the best heroes the kid replies don't worry eraser I'm keeping my eyes open there's not a single purse snatcher in a radius of 3 mil it makes me wonder where all the criminals went do I even want to know how you're doing this the raser head asks same way I'm talking to you right now the kid proudly explains a tip to whoever is in charge of the security changing the letter O for the number zero doesn't make password a good password the raser head sigh and pinches the bridge of his nose I'll pretend I didn't hear this go home kid and who is to say I'm not home the kid replies I don't need to be on the streets to watch a bunch of security cameras I am deleting the footage from the camera that caught you fighting those guys by the way you're welcome saying that the kid disconnects from the comms Problem Child the racer head size as he walks then he gets a ping on his phone despite being sure his phone is completely mute checking it he finds a video attachment it's 15 seconds of footage of a racer head fighting a group of villains he remembers this fight it happened about 2 weeks ago then he gets a message you never know where there might be cameras I deleted everything I found but be careful keep up the good work eraser hat eraser head can I at least get a name kid well I think I'll go by MOS but you can call me mid eraser head all right stay safe kid m d oos always eraser say hello to the cats for me did he mean the Strays Eraserhead usually feeds or does he somehow know about his cats well whoever this kid is a raser head has the distinct impression that he's not someone he'll ever want as an enemy he interacts with nzu more than enough to know how powerful information really is shaking his head a raser head goes back to his route he still has 2 hours of Patrol left before he can go back home to his cats divided by the racer head is so cool isuku can't believe he got to talk to one of his favorite Heroes and isuku helped him that's the first time he interacts with a hero during Patrol and it went well maybe he could do it more he was just planning to follow and watch Heroes but they could use a man in the chair right it's not like he could get in their way and any information is always good to have regardless of how it came to be yeah that sounds like a plan maybe next time he talks to a Razer head isuku could ask a few questions about his Quirk too that would be so amazing isaku has so many questions about a Razer but until he wins against nzu in another chess match he won't have many chances to look into it he should train some more to be ready for tomorrow's match however his plans are interrupted by a message the only ones that isaku gave one of his number are NSU stain and now a raser head and Neu never texts checking the message he finds a text from stain stain I need your help I found my next Target but I want to confirm with you first well it's better than him just going after the hero guns blazing hopefully it's not another innocent hero hero Crusher all right who is it stain what do you know about present Mike well oh God damn it stain isaku reads and rereads the message a few times of all the heroes he could have set his eyes on on why did it have to be present Mike hero Crusher why Mike stain he's a showman I looked into him pres Mike barely makes any hero work he focuses almost all his time on his other two jobs I guess it's admirable that he works three jobs but that's beside the point of course that's the problem isuku SI as he goes over everything he knows about present Mike which is actually not that much for such a public figure he has surprisingly little about his person known the only reason isuku knows his civilian identity is because he has watched all of uas sports festival videos from the last 20 years hero Crusher have you really looked into him you're missing the point stain what am I missing he barely does any hero work how he isn't a fake hero hero Crusher did you ever see his Quirk the man is practically a walking nuke it would be dumb to have him catching purse snatchers that's not the kind of hero he is he's a heavy hitter and is always one of the first ones to be called for Dangerous villains and he's always the first one to respond when it happens stay still shouldn't he do more his Quirk not being suited for it isn't an excuse hero Crusher he does more but you're looking at it the wrong way stain what do you mean hero Crusher we have hundreds maybe thousands of Heroes on the streets every day catching Petty criminals and low-level villains yes he could do the same but then he would be just one more hero instead he chooses to do another kind of hero Job Link scent link sent link sent link sent hear those and I think you'll understand meanwhile if you want a true fake hero link sent this one has been ripping off small businesses he charges very high prices in exchange for protection and for those who refuse to pay he sends his psychics to disguise themselves as villains and destroy their business this is a truly fake hero stain I'll look into it and I'll see those links you sent me thank you hero Crusher isaku sigh in relief as he reads the message crisis averted for the time being I hope it is enough to convince him that present Mike is a true hero but well that's something for future isuku for now he has something else in mind isaku can't exactly enact his revenge at this moment but that doesn't mean he can't be Petty and isaku has been living on the internet for months if there's one thing he learned it is how to be Petty divided by the day started like any other for yongi tanori well like any other day of his new life at least since his battle with all for one a few months ago tanori has never been the same his friendship with meray is all but ruined and he can only be all might for a few hours in the day with each passing day he can feel his body thinning the only thing that keeps him going is one for all still he is weakening but it doesn't matter he is all might Japan's number one hero he won't let anything stop him now that all for one is finally dead it's no time to stop the world needs him that doesn't mean it's not hard to adapt to his new life without a lung and stomach though his new scar hurts like hell his diet is so limited that one could say that it boils down to liquid Foods still he'd like to say his life is the same except for those details but that's not true for the last few days weird things have been happening to him now all might has never been the most tech-savvy person in the world pretty much the opposite to be honest marai used to tease him about him being an old man who could barely use a phone rude true but rude still despite not using it much he knows how to use an email which begs the question why suddenly he started receiving so many weird ads on his email it's like every other hour he gets an ad mail it started quite simply to be honest with an ad from what used to be his favorite fast food which he unfortunately can't eat any anymore so he unsubscribed from it but the next day he got ants from three other fast foods that he's sure he had never subscribed to before and to make things even weirder he also got an ad about cigarettes TSH anori never smoked in his life and he's certainly not going to start now but this was yesterday today things got worse when he checked his email he found himself getting emails from 12 different pornographic sites what the heck he never subscribed to any of those but before he could question anything further his doorbell rings toori sigh and goes to check he can see what this is about later at his door he finds a delivery man with several boxes package for yongi toshinori toshinori raises an eyebrow as he signs it he didn't order anything have a good day TSH Nori sigh at the many boxes and looks around making sure the delivery man left and there's no one looking he quickly Buffs up and gets all the boxes inside okay what the hell is that he mutters grabbing a box cutter to open them toshinori's eyes immediately widen as he opens the first one inside is a box of cont on a better look he realizes they are all less size there's also a note in the Box do the world a favor use them and on the other side of the note I don't think your right hand can get pregnant but better be safe Tasha Nori has a coughing fit that ends up with him spilling blood all over his shirt now tanori is no stranger to hate male even as the symbol of peace he knows there are people who don't like all might though he hasn't received one in a long time but these boxes are not addressed to all might they are addressed to yongi tanori all might's quirkless secretary this is something that never happened before what could he have done for someone to send him hate mail and how did that person even found out where he lives his private information is very well guarded just like everyone who works at the M Tower Kori decides to check the other boxes and to his dismay they aren't any better they are all filled with very pointed and not subtle in the least jams at him from jokes about his age with things like Viagra retirement homes flyers and even a box of adult diapers though the most mortifying ones were about with a giant all might themed dildo he's sure it's not official merch he would never have approved of this with a note a big dick for a bigger dick and even worse a sex doll with all might's face oh God I can't believe this exists with a note hey now you can go yourself literally again tsha Nori can't understand why he's getting those could this person know who he really is no that's impossible before he could think any more of it his phone rings and he notices it's the pr chief of the might Tower G is speaking tanori answers Yogi San we don't know how it happened but someone hacked into all might's official accounts on social media his PR Chief says there's suddenly a series of very inappropriate posts about all might looking for and I quote a suitable Dom partner for my subart in describing in disturbing details his preferences TSH Nori gets very r at the thought how did that even happen he asks we don't know sir there have been no safety breaches that we know of and no traces of the hacker either we're dealing with someone inside or a ghost a ding from his laptop calls Tasha Nori's attention this is the sound of a new email what should we do sir Tasha Nori walks to his laptop and opens the new email while thinking of a new course of action but as soon as he opens the mail his eyes widen tanori pales and starts coughing blood goggi s are you okay I'll call you later tanori says urgent matters have just come up I trust you to handle this problem understood sir the pr Chief replies then hangs the call toshinori rubs his face as he looks at the new email there's a short recording included in the email one that he recognizes as it happened just a few minutes ago the recording shows tasan Nori changing into his allite form and getting the boxes inside from the angle it seems to have been recorded from a security camera but why was a security camera even pointed at his house then the email was short but the message was clear you should be careful of where you change forms all might you never know who could be watching there's no sender the email address that sent the message seems to be totally random but it doesn't matter someone knows his secret and he has to find out who it is I don't want to call him but there's no choice Tasha Nori mutters I hope he agrees to help me then he gets his phone and calls a number he hasn't used in many years a few moments later an upbeat voice answers the call hello am I a mouse a dog a bear I'm principal nzu the creature which tasan Nori has no idea what it really is answers during the time he was a student at UA nzu was a teacher there he became the principal a few years later Sensei I need your help Tasha nor says it's an emergency divided by nzu was having his daily chess match with isuku when he got a call from yagi it's been so many years since the man even talked to him and now he's here asking for help to locate a person who discovered his secret ner doesn't even need to think to know who it is the culprit is at the moment sitting above the virtual chess table excitedly eating a virtual cake slice as he waits for nzu to make his move nzu tells yongi he'll look into it but he has no intention of turning isuku in even if he did there's no real way to arrest him what are they going to do throw a cell phone inside a cell in tardar is like that would work the boy is technically dead after hanging the call he looks at isuku who finally gave nzu his name a few days ago nzu likes to think this means they're making progress and raises an eyebrow as he makes his move I'm assuming it was you he says check I just wish he had cameras inside his house I'd love to see his reactions isuku says giggling I don't intend to spread the secret but a little scare and a few pranks are no problem Neu mes his knight checkmate damn it how did I miss that isaku mumbles going over the plays to see where he went wrong so are you comfortable enough to explain why you hate the symbol of peace so much nuu asks is this your question of the day fuku throws back dropping the cake plate which disappears in the air sure nzu replies nzu Waits patiently for isuku to decide whether or not he wants to respond to this question a few moments later he sigh and a teacup appears in his hand fine isuku says long story short he he's the reason I'm like this he says his voice dripping with Venom as he sips on the tea HEK one of the biggest culprits for everything I suffered for being a late bloomer and he's a freaking hypocrite he grips the teacup Tighter and that's not even the worst part he's not even that good of a hero the only reason he's the number one hero is because the hpsc hides all the damage he causes best genus should be the number one hero but his Quirk is not flashy enough for those corrupts but the reason I really hate him it's because of him that mom as he grips the teacup so tightly it breaks in his hand tea and glass shards spill all over him but he doesn't seem to notice or even mine mom is he starts sniffling and a second later he disappears M left the server NSU observes the message for a few moments and size he hopes he didn't push the kid too far still what the kid said is another piece of the puzzle according to the reports he has read isuku and his mother died in a collateral damage accident caused by a villain but according to isuku all might is to blame and Neu doubts that it is simply a matter of isuku blaming all might for failing to save his mother looks like he'll need to look deeper into it Neu looks at the last line on his screen for a few more moments M left the server this boy needs therapy but how do you get therapy for a legally dead kid who lives inside a computer there are a lot of misconceptions about nzu the very common one is that he doesn't have emotions that's completely wrong nzu has emotions he just feels things in a different way from human beings the many years he spent being abused and experimented on by human beings made him very apathetic to humans on a personal level but if he didn't actually care about them he wouldn't have become a hero much less the principle of a hero school there are also a few human beings who actually manag to carve a place in his heart and over those nzu is fiercely protective all of them are part of his staff at UA and in particular he has the ones he sees like his own children over the years as a teacher and later as principal of the school nzu met some Brilliant Minds but the ones who really impressed him were those who demonstrated great intelligence and a flame that could not be extinguished despite society's efforts the last ones that impressed him on this level were a boy with a dream of becoming a hero but a quirk that doesn't work against robots and another who was forced to remain silent because of his Quirk despite his desire to be her nzu helped them achieve their dream and now they are his most trusted teachers this happened 10 years ago and for the first time since then nzu met a kid filled with potential that he wants to help nurture the problem the kid is legally dead and his body is already buried their last talk was 5 days ago and since then the kid has yet to show up again or even send a message their last talk didn't go very well which makes nzu even more worried isaku needs help and nzu wants to help him he feels a connection to the boy he hasn't ever felt before it's similar to how he feels towards shaokun and hasashi Khan but not quite the same if he really tried nzu is sure he could find the kid but this feels like a boundary he shouldn't overstep the only way isuku will trust nzu enough to let him help as if the Chimera proves that he's willing to respect his wishes and boundaries and whenever he's back nzu will be waiting with a new tea for the kid to try divided by it's not that isuku is avoiding nzu he's not it's just that their last talk didn't end very well it wasn't isu's intention to have such a breakdown in front of the principal much less to run away like that but when he started talking about what happened to his mom something inside him broke again he didn't even get to say goodbye to her while she had a funeral that became part of the news all over Japan isuku was trapped inside a cell phone and couldn't attend isuku wanted to go back and say sorry to Neu the next day but he was too embarrassed to talk to the Chimera so he postponed their usual game one day became two then three then six and now it's been a whole week he's sure nzu didn't miss him very much why would he but isuku misses their games he misses learning from the Chimera learning new types of te's to try or answering meaningless questions about himself after losing another game isuku stares at the back door he has to nsu's personal computer for a few minutes and before he can chicken out again he enters m o join the the server as soon as the message is sent nezu's face pops in an interface in front of isuku the Chima is looking intently at him hi nzu San isaku waves shily I'm sorry for Vanishing like that Neu sigh in relief and nods at isaku I'm glad you're okay he says are you feeling better yes I am now isuku replies I'm sorry I guess I wasn't ready to talk yet it's okay I'm sorry for pushing you to talk isuku nzu says you don't need to tell me anything you're not ready to no I think I'm ready now isuku replies I want to tell you though I'd like to hear what you already know first what I already know Neu asks with a hint of surprise in his voice I'm not an idiot nusan my brain has at least the same computing power as a computer isuku replies smiling you already knew my name before I even told you didn't you yes you're right nzu admits midoria isuku son of midor En Co corkless date of death July 16th one day after his 9th birthday cause of death the collateral damage caused by a an attack he summarizes this is all the information I have though I can say for sure that three of these statements are wrong one you're alive two you're not quirkless and three it wasn't the villain who killed you am I right isuku smiles and nods I was never quirkless mental quirks usually take longer to develop isuku explains I got mine on my 9th birthday it's a very powerful form of technopathy I call it cyber stalking but I never got to register it Mom and I were going to register my Quirk when we ended up in the middle of a an attack he grits his teeth and clenches his fists before continuing but it wasn't the villain who caused our deaths the one who carelessly threw a superpower punch that blew my mom and me and caused a building to fall on us was all might and to make things worse the bastard said isuku plays the video from the incident for nzu to see it's a tragedy that this happened but at least it was just a quirkless child all might's voice sounds very clear on nsu's screen if it wasn't now it would happen soon anyway the mother didn't deserve that though so this is why I hate all might isuku say but I'm not an idiot as much as I want to destroy the bastard doing so would collapse Society the hpsc might call me a villain but my dream has always been to become a hero even if I can't anymore I still don't want to cause unnecessary suffering nzu stays silent for a few seconds but isuku can see part of his fur bristling and hear a faint growl then he takes a sip of his tea and looks back at isuku first of all I'm sorry this happened to you NSU replies all might is wrong on what he did and what he said he smiles at isuku and second do you still want to be a hero I can't isuku says I'm legally dead Neu San my body is buried next to my moms in the mustafo cemetery no one would believe I'm alive and inside a computer and even if you could I'm a rank of villain wanted by the hpsc there's always a way is aukan NSU replies I'll ask again do you want to be a hero don't think about the obstacles just about what you want yes it's always been my dream isuku nods feeling tears gathering in his eyes I want to be a hero I want to save lives I want to give people hope then I'll make sure you can become one Neu says you said you call your Quirk cyber stalking I want you to stop you're not a stalker isuku you're a guardian cyber Guardian isuku says slowly that's a nice name I like it and I have one more offer for you Neu adds I don't know where you stay but would you like to live here here isuku eyes widen here at UA exactly nzu grins we could easily say you are an AI I created I can teach you how to manage all of my security systems what do you say living in my dream school system helping my favorite teachers isaku grins do you even have to ask of course I accept medu Grins and extends a paw touching his camera then it'll be an honor working with you isuku or should I say midia isuku disc operating system when we are at work you can call me Midas isuku replies but when we are alone I'd like you to keep calling me isuku he extends his arm and gives the camera a fist bump of course isuku nzu says now how about we start yes nzu Sensei isuku replies grinning divided by as ASI is walking back home from his radio when he hears a sound coming from an Alleyway he's tired and wants to get home to sleep soon but he's a hero it's his duty to make sure everything is all right as he walks slowly into the alley he hears the sound again it's coming from near the trash cans it sounds like thewing looking deeper he finds a closed cardboard box the meowing is coming from inside it opening it he finds a little gray kitten meowing loudly the kitten is alone and there doesn't seem to be a mama cat nearby did someone abandon this baby here hey little guy as ashy says slowly reaching for the kitten what are you doing here the moment he touches the kitten he starts hearing words in his mind mama mama hungry cold mama where scared surprised zashi takes his hand away and the words stop did you do this zashi asks and touches the kitten again Mama help scary mama he hears again a quirked animal zashi looks around to make sure there's no mama cat close but it seems that this little guy has been abandoned poor guy zashi gently Pets the kitten's head you're shivering it's a pretty cold day especially for such a tiny kitten come here he puts the kitten inside his jacket to help warm them it's okay now little guy the kitten stops crying and curls inside his ASI's jacket warm safe Mama asashi hears hungry I can give you food little guy as ASI says let's get you home shaa is the one who Fosters a new cat every month that's actually another thing he loves likes about his Crush best friend asashi isn't one to bring Strays home but something about this little kitten is screaming at him to bring him home and he's not talking about the voice in his head Kashi is walking out of the alley when he hears someone dropping down behind him present Mike a cold voice send shivers down his spine as Ashi slowly turns around and finds himself face to face with an image that would cause nightmares to even the best pro Heroes the hero killer stain is right in front of him with his Kat in hand hero killer stain hasashi says trying to think of a plan he can't use his Quirk at the moment doing so will hurt the kitten don't move he points the katana at him I have a question and you'll answer me I'm listening hasashi replies with a forced smile what is a hero for you stain asks why are you a hero that's not what isashi was expecting a hero killer doesn't question the heroes he decided to kill he just attacks a hero is someone who makes a difference hasashi says someone who fights against the unfairness of the world someone who helps anyone even a villain stain asks it's not my job to decide whether or not someone deserves to be safe piz zashi replies if I can save someone I'll do it that's why I have my radio to give the chance for other people to be heard to show them I can hear them that's what you say stain says I found many Heroes like you the majority were all talk he takes a step forward before Hisashi could reply a meow Echoes through the alleyway and a tiny kitten pops out of his ashy's jacket hey little guy it's it's okay asashi says stay hidden I'll keep you safe asashi then hears a chuckle which quickly becomes full laughter looking up again he sees stain sheathing his katano while he laughs so many people would just ignore an abandoned kitten stain says this one was abandoned this morning the owner didn't want a quirked animal I fed him earlier he grins at his Ashi looks like the hero Crusher was right you are indeed a true hero looks like I won't have to call you this time present Mike he turns away keep up the good work then he walks away as ashy looks back at the tiny kitten in his jacket hungry hungry did a kitten just save him from the hero killer hungry hungry okay little guy let's get you some food Hisashi says giving a last glance towards where he just saw stain walk he shakes his head and starts walking away with the kitten him I know I'll call you Mr Muffins asashi Smiles as he walks back home with Mr Muffins being one of the teachers at the UA is a job with many benefits the hours are reasonable the salary is great teachers can manage their classes as they wish and in the specific case of shaa he has a free hand to expel those with no potential and will only end up dying early in their hero career the big problem which almost outweighs the benefits is that UA employees are always subject to nzu whims for instance today nzu decided to call a meeting at 6:00 a.m. on a Sunday and gave everyone a last minute warning and shaa has just come off a 12-hour Patrol there is no way of knowing what this is about because nsu's meetings can be about anything from a salary adjustment to a sec breach and none of them will know what it's about until the Rat shows up and as expected at that point at exactly 6:00 a.m. the vent opens and the rat comes down falling on the top of the table in the middle of everyone I'm glad to see everyone came nzu says what is this about nzu shelda asks this was last minute even for you yeah hasashi agrees I don't mind too much since I didn't have anything scheduled for today but you usually give us at least 2 days notice well nzu pours himself a cup of tea shaa already gave up on figuring out where he pulls it from I called you today because I want to introduce you to our newest staff Edition did you hire someone new n asks the last one was 13 last year we are not in need of any new teachers Vlad points nor any other position now that I think about it you're right nzu says but I realize that a few of you are a bit overworked this new addition will assume the security Chief position so ryoan can focus completely on his duties as counselor he looks at the hunting dog Hero by the way run I'd like to to speak to you in private after this understood Rio replies with this out of the way I'd like to introduce your new coworker nzu says hello a young very young sounding voice calls and all the lights turn off then a projector activates transmitting an image on the board I'm a OS but you can call me Mido I'm the new security bot of UA the image transmitted is a little boy with green hair eyes and a freckled face everyone in the room recognizes his face despite it being more than a year since they saw this face n flad says did you make an AI based on the dead son of midoria and Co isn't this a bit distasteful ectoplasm completes well I don't see much of a problem snipe chimes in you all can see it as paying homage to the kid I heard he wanted to become a hero a few others chime in with their opinion but shaa and hasashi both stay silent you two have been really quiet Nimar says shaa I understand but usually you'd have something to say zashi I'm just thinking hasashi says did you say your name as Mido yep the kid replies and I'm a big fan present Mike did you like my gift have you been playing music during his Patrol as well Problem Child Shela asks nope you're the only one until now the kid says grinning how long has he been active ectoplasm asks a bit over a year Mido replies but eraser head and NSU are the only ones I've ever really contacted I sent gifts to a few of my favorite Heroes though wait power loader raises a hand are you the one who sent me that detailed analysis of all the support gear I ever created and how to make better Alloys and the blueprints for my new Prosthetics ectoplasm ads the reports about people with blood quirks in bad situations vad King says yep Mido says with a grin I also sent a project of a grenade that midnight s could fill with her Quirk and a new product to help hound dog s normalize his adrenaline levels so he doesn't growl so often while talking oh and Recovery girl s did you get the updated medicine books I made sure to compile all important information you could use yourself or to train others well no no one here can say he's not efficient snipe says I'm glad to know we all agree nzu says Mido is our new staff member and I hope you'll all treat him well Mido nods and Bows to them I'm happy to work with all of you please take care of me God I can't believe I want to hug a computer program Nimar says I don't know how freaking nzu managed to make such a cute AI shouta just Narrows his eyes at the rat nzu can't fool him shaa can smell a logical Rose from Miles Away shortly after NSU adjourns the meeting and dismisses everyone except town dog shaa gets up and leaves asashi is right behind him security bought my ass shaa says there's no way he's an AI you think so too hasashi says yeah there's something weird here he's too expressive not even an island has such an advanced AI nzu might be a genius but there's no way an AI he created would be that human something most people forget is that is ashy despite the dumb act he puts on most of the time was nsu's personal student the blonde is probably the smartest human shouta ever met and he knows his sensei almost better than he knows himself there's more to that story shaa says and I'll find out what it is well Count Me In as Ashi says grinning knowing Neu Sensei this is exactly what he wants us to do where do you suggest we start the kid might be a good start shaa says there might be something more about midoria isuku that we hadn't noticed all right asashi says I'll get his files we can go over it later can you come to my apartment later I don't want to leave Mr Muffins alone any longer than necessary he's still a baby shaa says with a chuckle Mr Muffins and you have the nerve to tease me about my naming skills excuse me at least I never named my cat bastard asashi throws back bastard is a completely logical name shouter replies you met the little demon yeah yeah asashi waves him off anyway I will have all the files by tonight then we can start looking sounds like a plan shaa says see you tonight zashi see you sho as ashy says with a grin divided by did everyone leave mid then asks yep isuku replies Hall's empty vent empty no eyes on us nzu nods and sits at his desk this weekend he asked to install more cameras in his office so isuku would have many more angles of view most of them are disguised as random things like a book on his shelves or a plant pot in the corner of the room okay what did you need me for rokun asks well rokun you are a guidance counselor nzu says I have someone who needs your services and who would that be rokun asks B isuku says ryun blinks a few times at nsu's screen where isuku image is being transmitted I would ask if you're joking but I know that while you joke about many things my job isn't one of them rokun replies so instead I'll ask how in the world did you manage to traumatize a computer program it's a long story isuku says but to summarize me being an AI created by nzu is just a cover story you see isuku here is a very special case Neu says the chimea can see as the cogs turn in his employees head until he seems to come to a conclusion your not based on midoria isuku you are midoria isaku he says but I saw you being buried and I was isuku says my body is still 6 feet under but my mind well quirks are weird things I thought you were quirkless rokun replies I was never quirkless isuku says and snaps his fingers the screen shows a copy of his ID on The Quirk field are the letters n y m which means not yet manifested this is what is put on the IDS of people who are sure to manifest a quirk in the future Y isuku is the latest lumer in history beating Sha's previous record by an entire year Neu says and his Quirk is technopathy isuku says Rio's eyes widen at it and he nods I think I have the picture he says all right we can start as soon as you're ready I'd like to have a session first to assess your current mental state thank you rokun nzu says don't worry rokun replies this is exactly why I became a guidance counselor he looks at isuku and isuku Khan it'll be a pleasure working with you I say the same name hound dog and isuku replies smiling you can call me Rio or anui if my given name is too informal for you Rio says maybe one day isuku mutters but for now I guess I can settle on a Nei Senpai it's a start rokun Chuckles by the way ryoan NSU says I'd like you to keep this a secret we'd like to see how long it'll take for my staff to notice isuku is in an AI I'm sure we won't be able to fool shout a cun and his ashy cun for long but the others aren't nearly as observant understood rokun says with a sigh my lips are sealed great I knew I could count on you Neu says divided by hasashi isn't freaking out he's not it's just shaa who's coming over to try to look into Mia isaku and see if they can learn what really is the deal with nsu's new AI no big deal they used to do it all the time when they were students it doesn't matter that most of the time they see each other at UA or on their drinking nights on Friday and Nimar is always with them it doesn't matter that the last time they were actually alone was over 5 years ago he's not panicking he's not as ashy practically jumps out of his skin when he feels something rubbing his legs looking down he sees Mr Muffins looking at him oh sorry baby didn't see you here he says pulling the cat in his arms mama okay the cat asks I'm fine baby zashi says kissing the cat's head it's just my friend who's coming to visit he grabs a cup of water to try to calm himself but the thought makes him feel very warm papa the cat asks zashi does a spit take what he asks friend friend Papa Mr Muffins asks again what n no no he's just a friend I don't like him or anything he says papa Papa's coming the cat says he's not your papa asashi says he's just my friend he could be an uncle instead no papa the cat replies with an indignant meow before his ashy could say anything else he hears the Bell which means shaa has arrived he's here behave little guy asashi says putting the cat down Mr Muffins gives him a meow as Hisashi goes to the door opening it he finds shaa there dressed in casual clothes a pair of jeans and a black hoodie and of course his capture weapon because he never leaves home without it asashi finds himself involuntarily blushing at the sight why did his best friend have to be so attractive hey zashi shaa says is there anything in my face he asks Shu as ashy squeaks looking away in an attempt to hide his blush come in he steps inside would you like a coffee please shouta says as ashy nods and goes to the kitchen he quickly prepar PRS a cherry cheesecake flavored coffee in appearance it looks like a bitter black coffee but it couldn't be farther from reality especially with the amount of sugar hasashi puts in it's funny how many people think that shaa actually drinks black coffee like how someone with a mental Quirk would drink something that bitter with the drink ready he enters the living room and finds shaa sitting on the couch holding Mr Muffins shouldn't your papa be zashi shaa says to the cat oh zashi is Mama he asks giving hasashi an amused smirk hasashi is is just glad that his friend doesn't seem to get the implications of being called Papa by a cat who already calls his ashy Mom okay I said to behave as ashy lightly scolds the cat you haven't been annoying shaa right the cat gives him an indignant meow as his Ashi gives shouta his drink and pulls the little guy away mama no papa Mr Muffins says indignantly come on now Mama and Papa have to work on something important hasashi says I promise I'll give you some treats later if you behave the cat immediately goes quiet and looks at his ashy okay Mama I behave he says as Hisashi puts him in his room and closes the door as he returns to the living room he finds Shadow looking at him with an amused expression Mama and Papa have to work he asks hasashi blushes and looks away he sits down at the desk where he puts the folder with all the files about isuku so interestingly enough the neglect with quirkless people also applies to dead ones hasashi says no one even bad and I when I asked for these files quirkus shouted grumbles at least it makes our job easier this time Silver Lining I guess as ashy replies I have everything from school files to medical files and even one from when his mom tried to start a case against his school no one did anything about it and a few days later she dropped the charge saying that and I quote I already took care of the problem I can only imagine what she did to take care of the problem shouter replies and Co was terrifying when she wanted to be yeah I remember asashi nods she was the only one who could force you to stay in the hospital shaa opens the folder and starts looking over the files the two work in comfortable Silence with shouter reviewing the school files while his ashy looks at the medical ones well the kid was a genius shaa says his school work was much more advanced than anyone his age oh boy Hisashi says handing him a medical file and he wasn't quirkless he was a late bloomer shouter reads over the medical file and sees a diagnostic from when midia was 4 years old mental Quirk shaa says those usually take a long time to manifest yours only manifested at age right shouta nods the little listener was nine when the accident happened I still don't believe it by the way the villain didn't have a strength Quirk nor anything that could cause that much collateral damage shaa says it's obvious that the one who caused the kid's death wasn't the villain so the little listener had a mental Quirk hasashi says but he died before it fully manifested no I think it had already manifested shaa says pointing to another file their house is here and they were caught in the villain attack here shouta points at a map so following the path they were going to register the little listener's Quirk as Ashley concludes but what could The Quirk be I don't think anyone besides his mom knew this is suspicious shaa says maido said he has been active for a little over a year he Taps the files M isuku died a bit over a year ago not even NSU would see a dead kid and instantly think of making an AI with his face and a few months later nzu found a new chess partner asashi says he told me once during our monthly team meeting and now suddenly there's this m who made contact with both of us in the past shaa say he hacked into my comms during my patrol a few weeks ago the only thing he did with me was leave a giant bowl of popcorn hasashi says but you're right something isn't adding well I think we can agree on two things shaa says Mido is the one who has been playing chess with nzu and the rat didn't create him I actually have a theory as asashi says but it's very out of this world and without knowing what Quirk the little listener had it's impossible to be sure and yet it's the only logic iCal explanation shout his SI let's keep an eye on Mido we can see for ourselves if he's actually in AI but I really doubt it yeah I doubt it as well as Ashi SI medu won't tell us anything unless we figure it out so I guess we are on our own well we have time shouta says thatu wouldn't do anything that puts a kid in danger at least we can trust him with this yeah asashi replies I bet he's already expecting us to be looking into it that's really something the rat would do shouta nods well I'm not one to back away from a challenge Hisashi says and shouta nods they go back to reading the files in comfortable silence a few minutes later shouta breaks the silence again so why did you call your female cat Mr Muffins shaa asks female asashi asks in confusion shaa looks at him like he's an idiot for such a smart person you can be really dumb sometimes he says before going back to his files UA is huge and isaku is loving every second of exploration ever since nzu gave him full access to uas Mainframe isuku has been jumping from camera to camera to explore every corner of the place of course while he's doing this he's also mapping out all the territory and looking for possible vulnerabilities as the security Bond isuku intends to do his job very well yesterday he went through each of the training grounds his favorite without a doubt is the usj putting aside the clear joke about Universal Studios Japan the place really looks like an amusement park tomorrow the hero class 2B will have training there and isuku will certainly watch today however isuku is exploring the support Labs several Support classes are in progress and isuku has a great time seeing the students invention well the number of explosions the students cause is worrying but the teachers don't seem concerned so this must be normal switching to the next camera isuku finds the last lab empty if he is not mistaken NSU says that this is one of the reserve Labs only used when one of the other labs is unavailable either because of Maintenance or some accident caused by the students apparently this happens relatively often this lab is exam L like all the others isuku is about to jump to the next camera when he notices movement in the back of the room it seems that the lab is not as empty as isuku thought moving the camera isuku finds a child sitting at one of the tables tinkering with some Gadget isn't that Todoroki Shadow well the todorokis were adopted by power loader so it makes sense that shadow would be here the boy seems to have taken a liking to engineering looking around isuku notices that the screen in front of the boy is on and there is also a webcam in front of him perfect divided by Shao never thought that one day he would be free from his father's influence Endeavor always seemed a completely Untouchable figure a Titan the only way he could find to not give him what he wanted was his rebellion in refusing to use his left side however Endeavor was not Untouchable apparently the only thing needed to bring the man down was an internet hacker with no fear of the hpsc shaow has no idea who the hero Crusher is the hpsc has declared him a rank of villain but to shaow he is nothing less than a hero the hacker freed shaow and his family and now they live with higari San power loader isn't a particularly high-ranked or popular hero most support Heroes stay in the background usually overshadowed by Heroes with flashier quirks power loader is much better known for his support gear since he started Living with the hero Shadow has taken an interest in this side of heroics support gear has in recent months become Shadow's New Passion he still intends to become a hero this has always been his dream even before the Endeavor training began but now he also has plans to get a support license that is if he can understand how this thing in his hand Works what are you doing a voice asks trying to fix this Shadow says oh and what is it some kind of jamming device Shadow explains theoretically it should work by making all cameras in its range run a loop of the last 2 minutes suddenly Shadow realizes someone just talked to him someone who clearly wasn't there a minute ago and he didn't hear the door opening raising his head shaow looks around but there's no one what the heck Shao says scratching his head am I hearing hearing voices now did my father manage to drive me insane I'm sure you're hearing just fine the voice says again over here the screen Shadow turns to the computer screen on the desk he's using and sees the image of a Boy the boy looks about the same age as Shadow maybe a little younger with green hair eyes and freckles though Shadow is sure he doesn't have any chat apps open nor has he got any calls who are you Shadow asks raising an eyebrow what maima Senpai hasn't talked about me the boy asks then he jumps out of the small video call Window floating on the screen I'm mios but you can call me Mido he says doing a very exaggerated bow it's nice to meet you Todoroki K Shadow wines at the name oh would you rather I call you Shadow yes please Shadow replies and well knowing your name doesn't help me know who you are I'm new here Mido says basically I have full control of uas security security bot Shao asks narrowing his eyes there's no way you're just a bot hey nzu is very good at what he does idos replies with a shrug I don't buy it Shadow says but fine let's go with this explanation for now why are you here I was exploring the school when I saw you on the camera the points behind Shadow where a camera is I was curious about you he looks at the device Shadow is working on and extends a hand for a few seconds oh I get it two wires are touching and they shouldn't be Shadow blinks at the boy and looks back to the device in his hands grabbing the screwdriver he opens it again and checks all the wires just like the boy said there are two wires touching how did you do that Shao asks this definitely isn't something an AI should be able to do he's sure this computer doesn't have anything that could have been used to scan the device Mido just Winks at him and Giggles it's a secret he says bringing a finger to his mouth it was nice to meet you Shadow I'll see you around then he jumps back into the video call Window which closes right after Shadow blinks at the screen a few times then goes back to the device this boy isn't an AI i'msure of it he mutters as he closes the jamming device again opening the camera feed in the computer Shadow activates the device and watches and all as it works the camera starts looping the last 2 minutes of the video Shao smiles and looks at the computer human or not he hopes he gets to talk to Mido again divided by shaa can't shake the feeling that someone is watching him usually he would think it's just nzu as always but today is different and if it's not the rat there is only one other possible culprit are you following me Problem Child shouta asks aloud a moment later his phone Rings don't be silly Senpai mido's voice replies I'm following everyone it's just that it's your turn now Benny hangs the call shaa just sigh and starts walking again honestly such a problem child shiao looking back shaa sees his ashy approaching with that adorable annoying smile he always has what is it zashi shaa asks there you go zashi says giving him a coffee cup Mr Muffins insisted that I bring something for you shouter raises an eyebrow and takes the offered cup taking a sip he feels the Sweet Taste of his favorite beverage keep an eye on your cat otherwise I might end up kidnapping her shaa says I don't think she would mind zashi laughs she loves her papa how did I end up co-parenting a fur baby shouta grumbles in the cup not that he really Minds Mr Muffins is adorable and he was only half joking about kidnapping her if zashi isn't careful and how are things going Mama he asks with a smirk zashi looks away a slight blush on his cheeks cute Mr Muffins is surprisingly well behaved both for a cat and a baby zashi says I took her to the vet yesterday and fortunately her health is great she's just a little underweight he looks around for a second then leans closer to shaa what about the other project not here shaa says discreetly pointing to the pocket in his utility belt where he keeps his phone a second later his phone rings again shaa answers it giving a heavy sigh don't worry eraser Senpai if you want some privacy you can just ask and I'll give you the problem child says mike Senpai I'll be watching your English classes today then he hangs the call again Problem Child shout of mouths we can meet after classes same as last time you got it Shu it's a date zashi says giving shout of finger guns then he starts walking away suddenly zashi freezes and bolts away what was that shaa asks then his mind catches what zashi just said a date he blushes deeply don't be stupid shaa it was just a figure of speech shaa starts going to his class when he gets a ping on his phone MOS whipped cat lover shut up Problem Child did you change my name MOS I have no idea what you're talking about divided by cat lover cat lover changed M OS s Nam a Problem Child Problem Child okay I guess I deserved it oh Mike Senpai is about to start his class got too eraser Senpai Problem Child is offline shout aze and Pockets his phone back before going to his home room class there's a lot to cover with them today divided by a ping on his screen tells nzu that isuku is here a moment later a window opens with the kid's image did you get to see everything nzu asks well I haven't looked at the business classes yet this school is huge isuku replies extending his hand a cup of tea materializes but everything so far is amazing I got to watch present Mike's class he is as amazing a teacher as he is a radio host that's very high praise nzu Chuckles yeah but it's the truth isuku smiles and sips his tea on another note I would never have guessed that eraser head and present Mike are a couple oh but they aren't a couple NSU says they aren't a couple isuku replies raising an eyebrow I just found the two of them in the corridors talking like a married couple about co-parenting their fur baby how aren't they a couple oh they obviously like each other NSU says but they are oblivious to the fact that the other feels the same Nimar Chan has been trying to play matchmaker for years they were both your personal students right isuku asks asashi was my student for the three years he spent at UA edu replies I trained shaow while he was in janed but we didn't continue after he transferred to heroics though it was because what I had to teach him was different from the skills he wanted to get for his line of work so I mostly tutored shaa in analysis and left his training to an old friend of mine well for such smart people they are very dumb about their feelings isuku SAS I mean a raser head I get it but I always thought present Mike was people smart you know oh but he is NSU Chuckles except when it concerns Sha's feelings towards him this won't do isuku says they obviously like each other I need to find a way to make them confess honestly Nimar Chan has tried everything she could nzu replies it's like they get blind when it comes to love well there is one thing I'm sure she didn't try isuku smiles and for that I'll need to get some help talk to you later nzu Sensei saying that isuku disconnects nzu wonders what he's going to try and who he is talking about to get help well he's sure it's going to be interesting divided by maima hagari is a curious man this especially when it comes to technology it was this curiosity that led him to become one of Japan's top support Engineers when his attention is caught by something higari will do anything to understand how it works and well the thing that grabs his attention this time is Mido an artificial intelligence so Advanced that frankly higari is sure that not even the greatest Geniuses of an island could replicate it higari has never seen anything like him mido's acts exactly like a human and more specifically like a kid shaow is convinced that he is not really an AI hagari is determined to get to the bottom of this and for that he's doing something that could potentially cost him his job but hagari was never one to be afraid of taking risks so in the dead of night at a time he knows even NSU is asleep hagari enters uas server room according to chimera's sleep patterns higari has 2 hours before he wakes up since hagari already has access to this room normally he doesn't have to worry about setting off alarms or the like plugging his laptop into the server higari goes to work and it's not very hard to find what he's looking for mido's source code is buried in the deepest parts of the server under lots of firewalls and security measures it would be practically impossible to hack it but the good thing about being one of nsu's employees is that he doesn't need to so hagari opens it and starts reading what the hell hagari mutters as he sees the lines all of mido's code is written in pure binary something that ends up taking some time to decipher but thanks to some programs that hagari has he is able to decipher it wow he's even more advanced than I thought hagari had seen Mido eating candy before but he assumed it was just to mimic a child's Behavior but no Mido actually has a sense of taste programmed into his code and he also possesses the sense of touch and smell usually a machine would have sight and hearing at most there are a few that can identify smells but agari had never heard of one with a sense of taste and he seems to love sweets just like someone with a mental Quirk Hagar's eyes widen and he looks over the Cod again until he finds a part he feels that he shouldn't see mido's memory there is so much information SA saved there it doesn't matter how much the boy is able to process at once an AI who has just been active for about a year shouldn't have that much in his memory could shaow be right higari mutters shaow is very fond of conspiracy theories and most of his theories are completely crazy the boy obviously knows that and mostly comes up with them to mess with people but he was completely serious about his suspicion that Mido isn't really an AI duling higari copies part of the memory and starts decoding it but just as the program is about to finish the process the wind closes sorry Magi Senpai this is private mido's voice comes from the laptop speaker Mido higari gasps you're awake I don't sleep Mido replies a video call Window appears sometimes I shut down for maintenance but I remain semi-conscious even in this state anyway you figured it out didn't you Shadow was right higari says you're human I believe the correct answer would be I was human Mido replies quirks are weird like this mine even more so you really are midoria isaku gari asks the one and only Mido or midia replies you know that was very rude not even nzu tried to look at my source code and let me tell you having someone poking around inside you is very very unpleasant higari keeps silent and I'm only 10 you know midoria adds this could actually qualify you as a pedo higari is getting very worried about where he's going with this but since neither I nor NSU ever said you weren't allowed to do this I can forgive you hagari sigh in relief but this relief is shortlived the boy grins at him and his grin is scarily similar to nsu's on one condition what is it aari asks nervously I want you to build me a body mid assess I don't have too many requests but make sure it has arms oh and sensors too for touch and temperature and at this moment higari gulps the hero cannot help but feel that he has just made a PCT with the Devil Himself some people isawa in particular like to say that isuku thrives on chaos well they are absolutely correct and it's not even nsu's fault well the chimira never did anything to curb isuku chaotic Tendencies but the truth is that isuku and Chaos have always gone hand in hand it's not izuku's fault everyone knows that Mischief is the only possible outcome when a child is left bored for too long and it's not like he's bothering anyone isu's pranks are harmless like now isuku observes from the camera as Shadow Tinkers with a cat robot looking over the archives he finds out that a support student built it a few years ago in an attempt to make a spy robot the cat has cameras in the eyes and microphones in the ears it also has a speaker in its neck but it is said to make only meowing sounds all in all it's a great robot but it kind of fails at the objective because it's so obviously a robot while in certain situations isuku is sure it would fool some less observant villains but when villains are alerted that someone is spying on them they stop calling and go into hiding besides the fly model is much better for this kind of job despite being so expensive to build but that's beside the point it's obvious Shadow isn't fixing the cat for its original purpose but just just because he wants to see if he can isuku can already feel that the robot is operating so he gets a mischievous smirk and hops into the robot just as shaow is about to turn it on meow isaku activates the speaker H it works Shadow says with a small smile now where did I put the remote control shadow looks around and finds the remote on top of a table he moves to grab it but isaku is faster using the surprisingly mobile robot to reach it first and catch it in his mouth yaow isaku activates the speaker again tilting the robot's head shaow instantly Narrows his eyes at the robot you weren't supposed to move on your own he says sit isuku sits down high five he extends a hand and isuku extends a paw touching his hand speak meow spin isuku spins around well aren't you well trained Sho says scratching behind izuku's mechanical ear how he wishes he could actually feel it almost like there's an actual person controlling the robot right Mido isuku laughs extending a paw towards Shadow's notebook a white tendril shoots through it linking him to the notebook though he knows by now he's the only one who can see it once he's connected isuku opens the call app damn you're good he says with a laugh the robot is supposed to be fully manual Shadow replies with a shrug it wasn't hard to figure out makes sense isuku say still it's been a long time since I've last been inside a physical body he makes a show of licking his paw despite the robot not having a tongue interesting phrasing Sho says it makes it sound like you used to have a body but aren't you an AI he raises an eyebrow wouldn't you want to know peppermint isuku replies with a laugh I will find out your secrets one day Shadow replies with narrowed eyes then he gives the cat a smirk so are you meatos now isuku bursts into laughter God that's actually a great name I'm definitely using it isuku replies wish I could keep the robot why don't you Shao asks I heard hagari San is building you a body but it'll take a while maybe but the cat doesn't have proper speakers isuku replies I can't use it to speak also it would be better if it had some kind of projector you know like if it could project a hologram when I need to speak seriously with someone in why are you looking at the cat like this hold on I have an idea Shadow jumps up and runs inside a room isuku knows to store a bunch of pieces and components the students can use isuku would follow him but there's no cameras in that room a blind spot isuku will suggest to nzu to install some cameras there later about 5 minutes later Shadow comes back with a cardboard box filled with things all right I'll have to show down the cat but I think I can add a proper speaker to it Shadow says with sparkling eyes and a few other things I should have it ready by the end of the day isaku blinks a few times then he smiles thank you Shadow you're the best he says as Shadow starts working are you planning to go into support Shadow stays silent for a few seconds as his hands defly move through the cat robot I don't know he confesses this is something my father would have never allowed me to even think of doing but it's amazing but at the same time I still want want to be a hero a real hero not some poor excuse of a hero like Endeavor was so you want to be like power loader isuku asks he's a hero but he also has a license to build support gear shaow pauses again I guess he nods hagari sen is a very cool hero he's been taking care of me and my siblings for a while now and he never pushed us to do anything we didn't want to he treats us like people he looks at the screen and smiles he even let us have junk food sometimes I prefer sweets isuku replies summoning a CH but to each their own well I like ice cream shadow Giggles really isuku asks with his eyes sparkling what is your favorite flavor I love vanilla oh once my body is ready we should go grab an ice cream together I know a great place I hope it's still in business well Shadow smirks at him I accept if you tell me your name your actual name you won't let this go will you isuku asks pouting not a chance Shadow replies fine isuku SI but you can't tell anyone hagari s found out a few days ago but the other teachers besides nzu and Hound Dog don't know we are trying to see how long it'll take for them to suspect so you admit you're not an AI shaow says with a grin my lips are sealed I'm pretty good at keeping secrets you shouldn't have to be isuku mumbles in a sad tone before perking up again fine my name is midorya isaku you can call me isuku when we are alone but call me Mido if there are people around Todoroki shadow shadow replies though I hope to be maima Shadow soon you can call me Shadow nice to meet you isaku nice to meet you Shadow isuku replies with a smile for real this time the two St in amicable silence for a few seconds until Shadow breaks it so are you nsu's Secret Love Child divided by nzu admits that he is doing this mainly to help isuku seeing Shaak Kan and hasashi Kan feeling so obviously pining for each other is actually quite amusing for the Chimera however he also loves to see the plans that isuku comes up with this one in particular includes enlisting the help of a certain baby that hasashi K has recently adopted well there she is asashi says as he puts Mr Muffins on the table please no world domination okay baby he plants a kiss on the cat's head yeah I love you too be good for NSU ji mama will come get you later nzu watches in Amusement as his ashy has to practically drag himself out of the room it's interesting how attached he is to this kitten after so little time well NSU will make sure to give the kitten back to him completely unharmed so you're Mr Muffins nedu says I have to say while I really wanted to help isuku with his plan I'm actually very interested in how smart you are he extends a paw hello am I a mouse a dog a bear I am the principal nzu the kitten sniffs his paw and headbutts it no mouse no dog the kitten says bear interesting Neu Chuckles the kitten has the vocabulary of an infant but she seems to be quite smart I am part bear you are correct I'm also partially many other animals but there's no rat or dog in me how did you know no smell the kitten replies so I don't smell like a dog or a mouse I'm assuming she doesn't know what a bear is so she must have guessed it because it was one of the options I gave Mr Muffins appears to be much more emotionally smart than book smart very different from myself but still very smart so why don't you tell me about yourself nzu asks do you like your mama mama amazing saved me feed me love me Mr Muffin says gave me name Mr Muffins she proudly announces I see and is there anyone else you like medu asks next papa papa likes mama mama likes Papa the kitten replies Papa smells funny like black water but Papa gives scritches lots of scritches love scritches I see Neu looks up as he sees the vent entrance opening good thing he made them automatic and gave them remote access isuku drops down inside the room using the robot cat Shadow altered for him hi nzu Sensei oh you must be Mr Muffins isuku say nice to meet you the kitten eyes the robot cat weily for a few seconds kitten she asks not the same NSU replies well he's still young so he's like a kitten but from a different species he also likes your mama and papa in a different way though I'm actually trying to get them together isuku says they obviously like each other yeah mama likes Papa they should be mates Mr Muffins replies and Neu relays it to isaku so want to help me with that isaku asks they are being silly but they just need a little help yeah I help Mr Muffins replies great isaku chirps so here's the plan as isuku explains his plan nzu can't help the proud smile on his face he'll be sure to watch how things unfold to the cameras divided by hasashi tries to hide his anxiety but he's sure that he's not doing a good job but what can he do he has left his fur baby with his boss when NSU asked to talk to Mr Muffins hasashi knew he had no way to deny it well he could but no one ever stopped NSU he would probably break into his ashy's apartment while he was gone to talk to the kitten no better to bring Mr muff here and pray for the best doesn't mean he's not nervous what if nzu corrupts his sweet baby as the day went on Hisashi was almost starting to relax then at lunchtime he heard a few students talking I wonder who brought a kitten one of his students said it's so cute but why was it alone or little listener did you say you saw a kitten isashi asks yeah a tiny gray kitten the student replies it was walking near the janitor CL Mike Sensei asashi didn't spare a glance as he started running why is his baby alone where's n he promised he would keep an eye on her did she somehow manag to lose him is she that's smart hasashi gets to the Janitor's Closet and finds a few paw steps going inside he doesn't even think instantly opening the door and rushing in as soon as he enters he bumps into another person who is already inside the small closet wait zashi he hears Shaun's voice don't let the door the door closes and they hear a click close well looks like we are trapped shoua what are you doing here Hisashi asks due to the small size of the closet they don't have much space to move which means they are practically hugging each other the thought makes his ashy blush and he's very thankful that the closet is dark I heard from a few students about a gray problem kitten walking alone and I came to check shaa explains as soon as I entered the door closed and locked he sigh at least I found the Troublemaker a furball in shou's arms lets out a little meow oh and what were you doing here little lady asashi asks putting a hand on the kitten's head H alping Mr Muffins replies weird kitten and bare thing asked me help weird kitten and bare thing asashi asks tilting his head be thing is obviously NSU shouta says and I heard Mido is using a robot cat to move around the school so he must be the weird kitten oh his ashy size we've been set up haven't we that's right a voice calls from above they look up and see a speaker why are there speakers in the Janitor's Closet I'm tired of seeing you too hopelessly dancing around each other and I've just been here for a few days so you two are stuck there until you work it out good luck and I'm counting on you Mr Muffins chew do we have something to work out asashi asks I don't get it me neither zashi shoua replies suddenly Mr Muffins lets out a sound that sounds a lot like a huff and puts a paw on shaa and Hisashi faces mama papa stop being silly but kitten says hasashi wants to ask what she means but God the only thing in his head at the moment is how close shout his faces and God he's so gorgeous what do I do it should be illegal for eyebags to look so good on someone what if he expects something damn loud blonde why did you have to be so pretty wait what these weren't his ashy's thoughts suddenly his as's eyes widen and he looks at Mr Muffins whose eyes are glowing slightly as she holds a paw on their faces could this mean a shouta can you hear me asashi asks I can he hears Shaun's thoughts Mr Muffins can link our minds what do I do shaa will learn I have a crush on him why did I think that you have a crush on me shouta asks with wide eyes I I hum abort abort zashi I'm horrible with words but he closes his mouth and eyes I have a crush on you as well shout of thanks ever since our first year at UA asashi blinks a few times at the confession oh I have had a crush on you ever since you kicked my ass at the sports festival during our first year at UA he can't help but burst into laughter this means we've been pining for each for over 10 years and it took a scheming bot kid and a psychic kitten for us to confess zashi shaa says hesitantly want to go on a date with me yes as zashi almost activates his quirk in his excitement yes I want to finally mido's voice Echoes through the speakers again and they hear a click indicating that the closet is unlocked now have fun and don't forget to invite me to the wedding asashi and sha a look at each other before hurrying out of the closet asashi holding Mr Muffins tightly in his arms well shouta mutters I think after that we can say without any doubt there's no way the problem child isn't human Hisashi snorts and the two start walking toward the teacher's lounge for sure I don't think even NSU can deny it now he replies mama papa together Mr Muffins asks yes you scheming imp his ashy replies mama and papa are together now finally they hear a female voice and look up nemur is in front of the teacher's lounge looking at them with the biggest grin they ever saw on the woman's face oh no shaa says oh yes Nim replies finally all that pining was already way past painful and into torture field you better tell me everything shout aze heavily at their friends Antics but asashi can't help the smile on his face he never thought he would be able to find it in himself to confess much less that his Crush could be reciprocal looks like nem was right about all the times she called him and shouta dumbasses well at least he's now a dumbass with a boyfriend he can certainly get behind that shouta isn't nervous about his date with sashy he definitely isn't shaa is a logical man not a teenager with a crush he's not nervous so what if he's been fantasizing about this scenario for years so what if he's been thinking for years about what would be the perfect first date for him and zashi so what if he has a whole day planned with activities he's sure zashi will like so what if this imaginary scenario has finally become real and this might be his only chance to make the day perfect and maybe get a chance for a second date there's nothing to be worried about and shaa definitely didn't spend the last 5 hours that he could have been catching up on his sleep embroidering a on his night shirt shouta is sure anyone who knows him would think it was a joke if someone said that one of eraser head's favorite hobbies is embroidery and well even shouta isn't sure how he got into the Habit shaa still remembers when he received his first embroidery kit from zashi on his 17th birthday it hadn't been that long since they lost auo and sha was still struggling with his emotions zashi gave him an embroidery kit saying it was like stabbing things instead of people it's the best way for you to get those pesky emotions I know you hate off your chest without causing anyone else pain the GIF sat around for a few months before he even tried it but one day he decided to give it a go after all why not Sha's first attempts ended up with lots of prickled fingers and a cat that looked like an eldrich horor but after looking at what he did he couldn't help but feel satisfied with his job since then embroidering at least a piece every month became a habit for him it's something he does when he's stressed or nervous about something not that he's nervous right now because he's not zashi will be here for their date in half an hour that's okay shouta shaved and even dressed in his better clothes that's only logical shouta is not nervous before he can spiral further get up and calmly fetch a cup of coffee he hears a knock on his door since there are only three people who visit him and he is sure that nzu has other plans for today and Nim knows about Sha's date it can only be zashi taking a deep breath shaa gets up and opens the door immediately shaa hides his face in his capture weapon yes he's wearing it nothing in the world will make him leave the house without it to hide his blushing face one word only sums up sashy at that moment moment gorgeous his friend always had a much better sense of fashion than shaa and even Nim but this is the first time shaa has seen him dressed up for a date zashi is wearing simple and somewhat casual clothes black jeans that hug all his curves a t-shirt from a rock band that shouta doesn't know but zashi loves to talk about and one of his leather jackets his hair is low and neatly styled even his glasses don't seem to be the same pair he wears every day the problem child is right shaa is completely whipped and he doesn't even mind hey zashi very eloquent shaa very eloquent hey Shu zashi chirps come in shouta invites I just have to grab my jacket then we can go he steps in and goes to his room to grab his jacket a simple dark purple jacket Nim gave him then he goes back to the living room and to his mortification he finds zashi looking at the shirt he forgot on the couch when he went to open the door the same shirt shouta was embroidering a yellow coatu on Sho that's amazing zashi exclaims excitedly I knew you liked embroidering but this is better than what I find in specialty stores once more shaa dips his face in his capture weapon to hide his blush and turns around are you ready to go he asks completely ignoring what zashi just said you bet zashi replies following him where are we going you'll see shaa says as he puts on his shoes E I love surprises zashi laughs shouta guides zashi to his car and starts driving contrary to popular belief he does have a license and can drive well it's just that he hates traffic but for his date he's more than willing to drive as he drives zashi is practically buzzing with excitement and it's adorable shouter really hopes he likes the surprise he had to call in one of the favors nzu owed him to get the tickets shaa can see the moment Zach's eyes light up with recognition at the place shaa stops Shu isn't here he starts yep shouter Grins and reaches into his jacket pocket pulling up two tickets to Hamilton an American Musical not only is this a pre-or musical but it's a work very rarely staged in Japanese theaters getting tickets to see it is almost impossible possible but shaa knew it was something hasashi would like to see he's already a great fan of the play and its songs but he never got to watch it live Shu you're amazing zashi squeals in Delight so let's go I shaa barely has time to finish his line before zashi is grabbing him by the arm and dragging him inside the theater like an excited child in a candy store the comparison doesn't fail to get a chuckle from shaa they don't waste time entering and find their seats a few minutes before the play starts shaa isn't ashamed to say he barely paid any attention to the play though he was too busy watching every micro expression on Zach's face every laugh whenever a joke was said his eyes missed it in the more dramatic Parts the way he Mount the music with the actors it's like zashi was part of the play and honestly watching him is much more interesting zashi gets very emotional as the finale song Who Lives who dies who tells your story is sung by the actors and once the play is finished he's the first to stand up and start applauding shaa has never been a huge fan of theaters or musicals he's barely a fan of Music in general General but to see zashi smiling like this he would bring him to watch any play he could ever want to of course their date doesn't end there after the play shaa brings zashi to his favorite Cat Cafe Brewing the perfect Blends and it's not just because of the cats that he likes this place everything is perfect there from the atmosphere to the pastries the comfy chairs the adorable cats everything shaa and zashi are sitting down at a table shaa has a chocolate cake and a caramel iced coffee while zashi has a cappuccino and strawberry cake shaa watches amused as zashi details his favorite parts of the play as if shaa hadn't just watched it too unfortunately all good things must come to an end after a few hours of talking and playing with the cats they have to go home he still has to patrol that night and the next Morning zashi Has His Radio Show shouta drives zashi to his house and walks him to the door as soon as zashi opens the door Mr Muffins jumps into his arms meowing loudly and nuzzling his cheek hi baby I'm back zashi says laughing and scratching the kitten behind her ears can you wait inside mama will be right in the kitten meows again and jumps down entering the house so did you like the date shaa asks once zashi looks at him it was so amazing Shu thank you so much for doing this zashi says grinning it will be hard to beat this on our next date but I will make an effort next shouter replies dumbfounded of course I'm planning the next one zashi says if you want a second date that is of course I want shouter replies quickly then it's decided zashi says I had so much fun today Sho see you tomorrow zashi shouder replies zashi turns around to enter But stops for a second then hesitantly turns to shaa shaa is about to ask if there's something wrong when zashi takes a step forward and gives shaa a peck on the lips see you tomorrow Shu zashi says and quickly enters his house leaving a stunned shaa at his door shaa isn't sure how long he just stands they're stunned but eventually he brings a hand to his lips did this really just happen he shakes his head and turns around going back to his car it's only once he sees his reflex in the car's mirror that he notices that he can't stop smiling divided by hagari has no idea why nzu suddenly asked for a meeting with him he wonders if it has anything to do with what he discovered last week there's no denying he's nervous but he doubts that nzu wants to fire him the principal isn't the type to wait around for this kind of thing to date hagari has only seen one person fired from the UA the former Rescue Training specialist before 13 was hired the man started teaching and dangerous practices to students the moment nzu found out not only he fired the teacher but he also made sure he would never work as a hero or a teacher again nzu always handpicks his employees and it's very rare that he makes mistakes in his selection but when he does he's not afraid to own up and correct them that's why hagari knows that if he was going to be fired for his stunt with Mido last week he would have been by now knowing that doesn't make him any less nervous and it's clear that nzu isn't going to make things easy for him for the last 10 minutes the the principal has done nothing but stare at him as he sipped his tea at least he offered hagari a cup of tea too which means he's not angry at him nusan why am I here higari finally asks once the silence becomes unbearable Neu stares at him silently for a few more seconds before chuckling and looking away most people would have run away by now Neu says with a smile I'm impressed higari K as for why I called you here I think you already know it's about Mido right higari asks I'm sorry sir I couldn't help my curiosity don't don't worry about that NSU waves him off I would never punish an inquisitive mind for being curious I'm more surprised you were the first one to figure out the truth I really expected to be hasashi Khan besides isuku Kan already forgave you so it's not even my place to be angry in instead pet being said I don't think I need to tell you to not do that again right of course sir higari replies quickly I won't ever try this again good Neu nods now I heard you were building a body for him a yes sir agari nods he asked asked me to build a body for him specifically with heat sensors that could allow him to touch and feel things and also a pallet sensor I assume he wants to be able to taste things again you are correct in your assumption Neu nods he has been stuck in that cyers space for almost 2 years for such a young kid to be without any kind of physical contact for so long he S I don't need to understand human emotions to be able to deduce that he's severely touched star could I see your projects higari is stunned for a moment he never saw his boss being that empathetic toward WS another human being it's not that he doesn't care hagari has seen him destroy corrupt schools and arrest bad parents far too many times to think that medu cares a lot about children but even so he usually keeps himself detached from the cases he works on and yet this kid seems to have wormed his way into the chimera's heart like no one ever did before of course sir higari nods and points at neu's screen may I be my guest nedu replies hagari wastes no time accessing the blueprints he created a few days ago a 3D blueprint of the design opens on the screen showing a detailed image of the design higari made sure to base the body on mido's current appearance therefore the Android has all of midoria isuku characteristics honestly I never thought I would work on a project like this hagari says but I've never been this excited with a project before I had to ask for a lot of favors with my old friends in I Island to get the necessary materials he takes a look at the blueprint despite already having the whole project memorized Android blueprint MOS general information name MOS design a 9-year-old boy with short curly

is very inefficient a full meal can provide enough energy to sustain the body's essential functions only for approximately 1 hour development priority low energy core an conversion technology to efficiently produce and store electrical energy note the Prototype energy core is unstable and has the potential to explode if overwork it's crucial to prioritize the development of a stable and reliable energy core to eliminate the risk of explosions and improve overall performance and safety safety measures built-in limiters to prevent the Prototype energy core from overcharging internal limiters that monitor and control the power input will be installed these limiters ensure safe operation and protect against potential explosions caused by excessive energy buildup that's very detailed hagari K nzu says once he finishes reading the blueprints though if you don't mind me asking why did you choose a child's appearance midoria is nine isn't he higari asks or at least he was the Dei you know he doesn't appear to have grown up ever since his appearance still looks exactly the same you're right Neu nods I have a few theories about that I think his cyber appearance let's call it his Avatar could be changed if he so wanted he simply keeps the last form he remembers you might have noticed that most of the time he still wears exactly the same thing he was wearing the day of the tragedy this makes sense higari nods I assume you'll be helping him on that front you assumed right hagari k y isuku is nothing short of Genius but I can see he barely scratched the surface of what his Quirk can do NSU grins what kind of educator would I be if I didn't help him with that and on that front I would like to suggest a few alterations on this blueprint Oh I thought I did a good job with that agari replies what should I change oh no your current design is perfect for a daily life body Neu replies but I want to help young isuku fulfill his dream you know he looks back at the blueprint examining each detail and also he might be forever stuck at 9 years old don't you think we could give him a chance to see how it feels to be older so instead of a child you want his body to be adult-sized higari asks teenager nzu corrects between 15 to 17 years old would be a good model I can give you some estimates on how he would probably look at this age all also the body needs to be battle ready as I said I'll train young isuku to become a hero as it's his dream of course you don't mind giving weapons to a kid higari s what do you have in mind well young isuku will use this body for more than just combat NSU replies so instead of weaponizing him do you think you could create external weapons hem that's certainly possible higari nods what kind of training do you want to give him everything NSU grins combat analysis investigation and rescue underground and limel light air water and ground I want him to be capable of facing anything but sir that's higari didn't know what to say don't worry about anything higari K Neu waves him off I'll be personally funding this project no matter what kind of materials you need to use or even if you need to start a research for a new kind of material just to make this possible it'll take a long time to perfect it higari warns possibly years I can have this prototype ready in a week or two but to make sure it'll work he'll need a lot of field testing and unlike regular support gear anything I create for Mid will be exclusive for him this means I can ask other Heroes to test we have time Neu replies and Mido is patient for now focus on finishing the main body before you start thinking of the other features if you need more hands to help you on that I'll be more than happy to provide you with a qualified team put a pin on that for now agari says I might need it in the future but for now I'm enough of course nzu agrees when are you going to start building it the materials I order Ed should arrive tomorrow higari replies I'll adjust the blueprints today very well I will be refunding the amount you paid for these materials NSU says and since I'm technically hiring you for this project you'll receive compensation for that H this means hagari can expect a large sum coming into his bank account soon nzu is well known for his tendency to squander money well squandering isn't the right term after all every investment he has ever made has always paid off but still when he decides to invest in something he lives by is saying go big or go home with a last nod higari gets up and leaves the principal's office this project just became a lot harder but he would be lying if he said that working on something that advanced won't be exciting not even an island is capable of building an Android this Advanced well it's time to go back to work higari says with a grin divided by few people are used to having all their beliefs shaken and their whole world turned upside down unfortunately chisom is one of those people as a little boy he was just another ordinary child someone who had admired Heroes and wanted to be like his Idol all might saving everyone with a smile and bringing Comfort to everyone who heard his name that changed the day his quk manifested blood curdle the ability to paralyze anyone by ingesting their blood for up to 8 minutes depending on blood type 8 minutes for type B six for ab four for a and two for o his world turned for the first time after that once a normal child everyone started treating him like a villain including his own parents but that didn't change his dream shom still wanted to become a hero the second time his world changed it was right when he got into a hero school he failed uas entrance exam blood curle was useless against robots but he had several backup plans he ended up getting into a small hero school but that school didn't teach them how to be heroes no they were being trained to be celebrities not to save lives chisom refused to stay in such a place it didn't take long for him to understand that he would never be accepted as a hero with a quirk like that he would never bring Comfort to the people but maybe he could do something different if if he couldn't bring Comfort to civilians he could bring fear to villains that's how stendel the Vigilante was born stendel kept the streets safe for years and chisom thought he had found his way to be a hero but then one day he learned just how fake heroes are a hero ambushed him while he was trying to save a kid who was being attacked the kid was screaming for help but the damn hero was only concerned with capturing the Vigilante until the kid stopped screaming the so-called hero kept going on and on with his monologue about how Justice had come but chisone could only stare at the alley where the child's lifeless body was dumped as the killer left and as for that damn fake hero his name was Cabra or something like that he became the first victim of hero killer stain from that day on chisom found out what he was really supposed to do his mission is to purge the fake Heroes all in the name of true heroism only a true hero would have the right to stop him a hero like all might but then once again everything he believed in was shattered This Time by meeting the one called hero Crusher he never met the other villain in person but he showed him evidence that broke him not only was all might just another fake hero but stain was wrong on several of his targets he killed genuinely good Heroes since that day stain has not killed any more Heroes he continued his hunt but instead of killing his targets he only dealt heavy damage to them that way the fake Heroes would mostly give up their careers fearing for their lives while the real ones would continue still chisom is no longer sure if he is doing the right thing since childhood chis om's greatest tradeit has always been his conviction but today for the first time in his life chisom is in doubt what is right and what is wrong is purging fake Heroes really possible if even all might was a lie then who are the real heroes shom doesn't know anything anymore as he walked aimlessly through the streets his phone started ringing chisom didn't even need to check the number there's only one single person in the world who knows this number and chisom has no idea how still he answers the call you seem lost stain the hero Crusher says in his distorted voice stain raises his head and looks around until his eyes land on a street camera pointed at him of course you're stalking me again chisone grumbles what do you want this time just talk the hero Crusher replies you've gone radio silent for a few weeks I was worried you're hard to find you know the plan was for it to be impossible Chisum size you're not wrong though I am quite lost I thank you for opening my eyes but now I don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore it's like everything I ever believed in my life was nothing but lies I couldn't be a hero stendal could make a difference and now stain's mission is also hopeless that's not how how I see things chisel the hero Crusher replies Steno made a difference the people on the streets felt safer when you Patrol for months after you disappeared people on underground forums asked themselves what happened to their protector and stain while stain was misguided and targeted some good Heroes you also killed some of the worst villains masquerading as heroes in the world I don't agree with stain and I never will but you made a difference he stays silent for a few more seconds as for what you should do now I think you finally realize there's only so much a single person can do alone but what if you weren't alone what do you mean chisom asks I want us to meet the hero Crusher replies in person chisom stares at the entrance of the cafe a familiar territory for both Vigilantes and villains the nameless Cafe an oasis of neutrality nestled within the streets of mustafo it doesn't matter if you are a hero a civilian a vigilante or even a villain as long as you leave your grudges at the door you are welcomed with open arms it made perfect sense why the enigmatic hero Crusher had selected this spot for their Rendevous chisom stepped into the nameless Cafe being greeted by the dimly lit interior creating a mysterious atmosphere the scent of freshly brewed coffee and the faint whiff of cigarette smoke lingered in the air a testament to the countless conversations and clandestine meetings that had taken place within these walls at a corner chisom can see a group he recognizes as members of the Yakuza talking about something the tables were a mix of mismatched chairs and worn out cushions each set arranged in a way that allowed occupants to maintain a sense of privacy while still being part of the communal space murmurs and hushed Whispers filled the room and chisom noticed the occasional glance directed toward him as he made his way to the back the hero Crusher said he would meet him at table 23 sitting at the table chisom impatiently awaits the arrival of the hero Crusher though he has no idea how the person looks he knows that they know who chisom is a stray cat wanders to him and just as he's about to shoe it away he realizes with a start that it's not an ordinary feline it's a robot cat the mechanical cat elegantly hops onto the table positioning itself to face chisone directly to his bewilderment a voice emanates from the robotic creature uttering his name with an eerie familiarity nice to officially meet you stain the voice says chisone blinks his mind trying to comprehend the bizarre situation before him are you the hero Crusher he cautiously asks his suspicion mixing with curiosity I thought you wanted to meet in person in my current condition this is the closest to in person we can meet the cat replies The Voice laced with a hint of mystery but you're correct I did want to meet you face to face today you shall uncover my true identity shom's Intrigue grows his thoughts racing to make sense of the cryptic message the hero Crusher has always been an enigma a master hacker whose actions have remained solely in the digital realm the notion that this robot cat could be the elusive figure behind the code intrigues him and he can't help but wonder if the hero Crusher has been incapacitated by a wound or illness that would explain why he only works on mine very well Chisum says his attention fully caught by the cat I'm listening the cat emits a sof mechanical purr before continuing in its enigmatic voice tell me stain do you know about the midus he asks I've heard of them chisom replies his voice tinged with a hint of bitterness single mom and a child both dead in an accident officially stated but as you've shown me all might was responsible for it the hpsc covered it up just like they've hidden other incidents caused by the number one hero all to maintain the status quo that's right but that wasn't everything the cat responds you see the son Mia isuku was said to be quirkless but that's not true he wasn't quirkless he was a late bloomer and his Quirk is a very powerful form of technopathy having said that the cat opens his mouth revealing a projector's lens a hologram appears on the chair next to chisom depicting a little boy with green hair eyes and freckles hello stain the cat speaks again his voice unaltered revealing his true identity currently I go by MOS orida is AIS operating system shom's mind races to process the revelation Mia isuku the supposedly dead quirkless boy is alive and he's the hero Crusher the weight of the truth sinks in dozens of Heroes had their careers destroyed by a 910 year-old kid however another thought gnaws at him midoria isaku is supposed to be dead and buried how could he possibly be here are you actually midoria isaku chiso asks or are you merely his Quirk a memory perhaps the holographic projection pauses uncertainty flickering in the boy's eyes honestly I don't know he admits after I died I woke up in a place I call the cyberspace perhaps I am isuku himself or maybe I'm just a copy of his memory created by his Quirk I'm not sure does the answer change things not really chisom shakes his head whether you are the real isuku or merely a memory doesn't change what you're trying to do we both want the same thing the boy says through the cat we want to improve Society but you realize that your methods aren't working chisom acknowledges the truth in those words killing the fake Heroes isn't achieving the change he hoped for I tried to be a hero I tried to be a vigilante neither worked chisom says his voice tinged with frustration and now being a villain isn't working either I'm lost I don't know what to do a single person can only go so far the boy replies but let's take a look at another thing the Hologram disappears and the cat projects a graphic in its place these are the areas where stentel used to patrol the boy points out then these are the areas where stain killed Heroes can you see the difference Chisum studies the graphics observing the contrasting patterns the areas where stendal patrolled experienced a significant 73% decrease in criminal activity while he was active in contrast the areas where stain killed Heroes saw a troubling 26% increase in criminal activity due to the decrease in the number of Heroes the realization hits him like a truck I I didn't realize chisom stammers grappling with the implications of the data I thought I was doing what was necessary to bring about change unfortunately that's not how things work the boy replies villains will take advantage of the absence of Heroes and and the truth is that fake heroes are also needed to maintain security if they are doing their job who cares about their motives chisom resolve waivers and he finds himself questioning everything he ever stood for the hero Crushers words strike a chord within him offering a different perspective on how to achieve their shared goal of improving Society so what do you suggest chisom asks perhaps it's time for sendle to return the cat activates the Hologram of midoria isuku you can help keep the street safe you might not agree but I believe the vigilante was a true hero he gives him a smile we could also use more allies we chiso masks intrigued by the notion and working with nedu the boy replies we have a plan change won't come fast especially when we are trying to make sure Society won't collapse shizun contemplates the offer before him it's a far cry from the path he had been on but there's something undeniably appealing about it he has always been driven by the desire to make a difference to create a society that he believes in so you want me to act as an informant besides going back to being stendal chisom summarizes seeking clarification exactly Mido nods what do you say akaguro chisom are we allies for a moment shom weighs the consequences and the potential for genuine change he has the chance to work with true heroes and contribute to bringing the change he always wanted maybe there really is a way to bring back the real heroism without the need for even more Bloodshed with his mind made chisom gives a determine not we are allies Mido Chisum declares I'll Embrace this new approach and together we will strive for a better tomorrow then it's good to work with you stle the boy replies as the holographic projection of Mido Smiles warmly a newfound Alliance forms between those two individuals divided by so I just need to move it isuku asks as he eyes the arm prototype Magi Senpai is showing him the boy is still using the cat robot shadow modified for him which he officially named maos that's right Magi Senpai replies I want to test the sensors and Mobility to see if everything works correctly okay I'll Trust isaku nods and sits down in front of the arm from the cat body he sends the white tendrils of his Quirk quickly connecting himself to the arm okay I'm in what do I do let's start simple Magi Senpai says move the fingers isuku focuses his mind on the arm and his Quirk seamlessly integrates with the robotic limb it's much smoother than when he has to hack something to enter he feels the connection almost like the arm became an extension of himself with a gentle Thought He commands the fingers to move and they respond accordingly flexing and extending with impressive Precision the fingers work well isuku says that's amazing Magi Senpai replies now try rotating the wrist and moving the arm up and down isuku follows the instructions fluidly adjusting the wrists rotation and raising and lowering the arm as he does so he frowns slightly at the result the wrist is a bit stiff isuku points out I can hear a Creek in it I think the bones are rubbing on each other Magi Senpai nods and takes notes his mind already working on potential Solutions I see it's a good observation isuku Magi Senpai nods attentively we must ensure smooth movement and minimize friction let's take a closer look at the Joint mechanisms Theos and Magi Senpai huddle over the arm examining the mechanical intricacies maybe we can use a different type of lubrication to reduce the friction isuku suggests and reinforcing the joint with a more flexible material could solve the stiffness issue a more flexible material could compromise durability Magie Senpai points out I wonder if it's a good trade-off we could combine a flexible inner structure with a reinforced outer layer isuku proposes that way we maintain both flexibility and durability you me like external armor Magi Senpai asks yes exactly isuku face lights up with excitement we could design the joint with a core of flexible material that ensures smooth movement and then encase it in a layer of reinforced armor offering protection and stability it could give us the best of both worlds Magi Senpai Ponders over the idea for a while his mind racing with possibilities underground and Limelight air water and ground a body ready for anything he mutters to himself lost in thought I think I have the solution what do you mean Magi Senpai isaku asks tilting his head in confusion intrigued by the support Hero's musings Magi Senpai rushes to his desk and unceremoniously shoves everything to the floor before opening a new blueprint instead of creating a single body that can handle anything which would be impossible I must say how about he starts sketching rapidly on the blueprint a sing single neutral body those strengths are weaknesses and then to supply the other necessities I can make armors isaku completes a flying armor for air combat an aquatic armor for underwater operations a ground armor for regular operations stealth armor for underground work exactly each armor will be specialized for specific tasks and when needed you can switch between them allowing for maximum adaptability Magi Senpai nods with a smile this way we optimize efficiency without compromising on performance this is perfect Magi Senpai isuku says excitedly I can see why you're the number one in support gear flattery will get you nowhere Magi Senpai Chuckles playfully but I appreciate the sentiment we can start designing the armors after we finish this test we still need to try the touch sensors oh right isuku Chuckles I'll connect again then he connects to the arm again I'm in how are we going to test I didn't try to copy the entire somatosensory system but the concept is pretty similar Magie Senpai explains the receptors on the synthetic skin should be able just like sensory receptors and activate the artificial nerves creating electrical signals I simplified the process though they should go straight to your mind hopefully making the process faster let's start with temperature he pulls two metal bars one bar is hot the other is cold let's see if you can differentiate them isuku focuses his mind prepared for the task at hand as he grasps the metal bars with the robotic arm he senses a surge of electrical impulses flowing through his neural connection it's a unique sensation like his own skin was registering the temperature changes it's a testament to Magi senpai's skillful engineering that the synthetic skin can replicate such fine details I can feel it fuku exclaims in amazement it's not perfect but it works the hot bar feels slightly warm and the cold one only feels a little cool so we need to work on Precision maybe increase the number of receptors as well Magie Senpai takes notes let's see if you can differentiate textures Magi Senpai presents a set of objects with varying textur smooth rough bumpy and soft with each touch isu's mind registers the distinctive feel of the surfaces through the robotic arm though the sensations are not as clear as they would be with his own hand the potential is undeniable I can feel the differences isuku says his mind focused on the task the rough one is slightly abrasive the bumpy one feels uneven and the soft one has a gentle texture excellent isuku Magi Senpai knots this is promising we'll keep working on refining The receptors and feedback to it even better anything else you think you should mention him I'm not sure isuku says thoughtfully contemplating the experience the robotic arm moves as if to scratch his chin and at that moment it accidentally touches a connected soldering iron ouch isaku Yelps quickly dropping his connection to the arm does it have pain sensors as well it shouldn't Magi Senpai frowns concerned by the unintended reaction but that's just a prototype maybe the sensors are picking up and transmitting things is pain I'll have to check it later isuk two eyes the arm wearily a mix of curiosity and apprehension in his expression the prospect of adding pain sensors to the robot body is both intriguing and worrisome I don't think I need pain sensors isuku say I know why people feel pain but I can easily create a program to keep an eye on the level of damage the body suffer you have a point Magie Senpai acknowledges with a nod for you pain sensors will be more of a nuisance than anything else let's focus on enhancements that will suit your needs as they continue their discussion they delve into potential improvements for the robotic arm and the rest of izuku's body brainstorming ideas that align with izuku's unique Quirk and skill set Magi Senpai skillfully adapts the designs to enhance his capabilities while minimizing any drawbacks then almost seamlessly their discussion shifts back to the concept of armors it's like they've discovered a treasure Trove of possibilities waiting to be unlocked izuku's eyes light up like a child in a candy store and meos jumps up and down with Joy Magi Senpai Chuckles at his happiness so I have ideas for the Bas basic concepts Magi Senpai with enthusiasm an aerial armor focused on speed and Mobility a ground armor focused on Firepower and physical strength an aquatic armor focused on underwater Mobility a stealth armor focused on agility and flexibility oh this reminds me of something isu's eyes sparkle with excitement I think I have the perfect design a moment later a ding on Magi senpai's phone indicates a new message he opens it and sees the image isuku sent him really Magi Senpai raises an eyebrow at the robot cat amused by the unexpected source of inspiration a video game it's been over 200 years since they last published anything for this series isuku explains with a mischievous grin on his face it's public domain already Magie Senpai looks at the image for a few seconds considering its intricacies and unique features before sighing with a smile well I can't deny the design is good he concedes I'll have to make a few tweaks to make it practical but I guess I can go with that yeah isaku cheers and with that Mao starts running around the room like a kitten with zumies while Magie Senpai works on the blueprints isaku walks briskly through the bustling corridors toward the support Studios even controlling the small cat robot he could feel his heart pounding with anticipation it makes him wonder how he can feel his heart when he technically doesn't have one anymore but that's something he can think about at another time the message from Magie Senpai had been brief and intriguing urging him to come to the studios without delay the hero didn't offer any explanation besides that isuku can barely hold his curiosity as the automatic doors open for the cat to step in isuku is caught off guard by what he finds inside Magie Senpai stands near the center of the room wearing his yellow helmet that looks like a mash between an excavator claw and a dinosaur head next to him was nzu his eyes betraying nothing of the reason why he's here to their right stood Shao looking at the big capsule a few feet behind them and finally isawa Senpai who seems just as tired as always but he doesn't have his sleeping back isaku expected maie Senpai to be there but why are Shout nzu and isawa Senpai here as well and what is that big capsule behind them ah there you are mid Magi Senpai greets him with a warm smile gesturing for him to approach we've been waiting for you hi Magi Senpai isaku greets his eyes flickering from one figure to the next what is this about and why is everyone here nzu looks at isuku and gives him a big grin we have a surprise for you Mido nedu says glancing at isawa Senpai who just raises an eyebrow at him before glancing at shaow oh so he doesn't know that shadow knows and instead of just cleaning everything up NSU prefers to let the chaos unfold classic nzu so remember when I told you that it would still take a few months for the body to get ready Magi Senpai says grinning under his helmet well isawa would call it a logical RSE wait you can't mean isuku eyes widen yep nsu's grin becomes even wider your new body is ready he says taking a step aside and bowing while pointing at the capsule I call it the MOs prototype Magie s by says take a look isuku nods and walks to the capsule which starts opening very slowly a smoke screen leaves the capsule for dramatic effect and all lights in the studios are turned off something isuku is sure was nsu's idea izuku's breath is caught in his throat his eyes widening in awe at the view it's amazing he can easily recognize himself in this robot his hair his face his freckles everything is there but it looks older a young adult unlike the child he sees every time he looks in the mirror the body is tall but not over whelmingly tall about the same size as Magi Senpai isuku judges Is that real isuku Whispers In Awe indeed it is Mido Magi Senpai replies with a proud smile we did our best to create this with all the things you asked for want to test it yes isuku nods excitedly sitting down in front of the capsule isaku wastes no time in establishing the connection he sees the white tendrils of his Quirk connecting to the robot and immediately starts uploading himself into it the process is quick and efficient it's like it was made for him well it was made for him that's probably why he fits the robot android body so snugly isaku had never entered any electronic device so easily once the upload is complete he can feel the system starting and a HUD appears in his eyes the HUD displays the blueprint of the body and quickly goes through all functionalities as they start then once the system is started isuku opens his eyes the first thing isuku notices is his size he never felt so tall before he's been in cameras on the streets and most of them are in high places but this is different the second thing he notices is the freedom in his body cameras and even meos have a very limited range of motion he starts moving his arms as his eyes focus on them then isuku notices his touch sense he can feel the light fabric of the shirt rubbing on his shoulders and the shorts on his legs as he steps out of the capsule he almost jumps as he feels the cold floor on his bare feet he can feel the chill of the AC unity in his body he can feel everything and it's amazing it works he mutters with a smile I can feel things again he starts running his hands through his arms feeling the soft material used to create his synthetic skin I can move freely again he says as he Twirls around and then as his laughter fills the studio he adds I feel alive again as isuku spins around in happiness testing his new body he barely notices the amused faces of the other people and creature in the room and even if he did he couldn't care less he has a body a human body that's perfect then suddenly he remembers the main reason why he wanted a body in the first place with a gradual slowing of his twirl he turns his gaze towards the assembled group his grin evolving into something more mischievous his eyes meet isala Senpai then shift to Shao Magi Senpai and finally NSU without a single word he moves with a sudden burst of energy swiftly closing the distance between himself and nzu with an exuberant laugh and a radiant smile he Scoops up the Chimera into his arms and Embraces his friend mentor and father figure thank you so much Neu Sensei isuku says laughing how isuku missed the feeling of giving and receiving hugs he feels NSU rubbing his back gently which makes him feel even warmer inside then after a few more seconds he lowers nzu back to the ground with a lingering smile still on his face the chimira doesn't say a thing but it's not necessary isuku can see in his face how happy the principal is for him with his heart briming with gratitude and Euphoria isuku turns to Magi Senpai his next Target for an exuberant Embrace without hesitation he lunges forward wrapping his arms around the hero and easily lifting him from the ground the realization of how strong his new body is is immediate and exhilarating and as he spins Magi Senpai round laughter bursts from his lips the sound of his laughter fills the air a reflection of the overwhelming Joy he feels at this moment but even amidst the spinning and laughter isuku manages to convey his appreciation to the hero this is even better than anything I could have imagined isuku says to the hero thank you so much Magi Senpai you're welcome isuku Mai Senpai Whispers and isuku feels his metal fingers patting him on the back next isuku turns to Shadow who's eyeing the interaction with a soft smile and like the other two he hugs and lifts him from the ground hugging Shadow is such an interesting experience the boy just like his Quirk is half hot half cold his left side is warm and his right side is cold it's like hugging two people at the same time thank you Izu says with a smile I didn't do anything Shadow replies then he smirks yet you can bet one day I'll make a Mao's model that will make this body look like a pile of junk isaku laughs and puts Shao down I'll be waiting for that day he says with a grin to which shaow responds in kind then he turns to isawa Senpai and finds the place where he was standing just a second ago completely empty then he hears the door to the studio closing H isuku blinks and turns to Neu shaokun is allergic to affection the principal playfully says oh then he better get an anti-allergic isuku replies with a mischievous smirk because I'm getting a hug from him as well then isuku runs outside determined to track down the underground hero and get a hug from him he immediately starts tracking his cell phone maybe that's cheating but isaku never said he would play fair isawa Senpai signal is going to the teacher's lounge well time to test how fast this body can move with a grin on his face isuku takes off and quickly realizes that the answer is very fast he's sure that he's going as fast as someone with a minor speed Quirk would and as he glances at his readings he realizes that this isn't nearly close to what this body really is capable in no time at all isuku reaches the teacher's lounge and to his Joy isawa isn't there yet so he opens the door and enters immediately all eyes are drawn to him but he pays them no attention as he waits right next to the door and observes in his HUD as shouta signal approaches then as soon as the door opens isuku tackles the underground hero in a hug lifting him in the air just like he did with the others gotcha isuku says laughing joyfully isawa Senpai is so surprised that he barely reacts but a few seconds later isuku Hears A sigh and the underground hero puts a hand on his hair and Ruffles it yeah you got me Problem Child he says hiding his face in his capture weapon wait isaku turns around and sees Vlad King looking at him with wide eyes is this Mido yep isuku replies with a grin and runs toward the hero while yelling I the blood Hero has no time to react before he has a teenager sized Android hugging the out of him and he certainly doesn't know how to react as he keeps his arms awkwardly close to him not sure if he hugs back or stays still before he can make make up his mind isuku lets him go and finds his next victim 13 is a few steps ahead talking something with snipe so isuku jumps at them and hugs them both at the same time oh hello Mido 13 says and isuku imagines they are smiling under that helmet well now AED a sight for sore eyes snipe adds Mighty pleaseed to lay eyes on this here fresh rig of yours partner mighty fine job by all PL I reckon yep Magi Senpai did it isaku replies with a grin and it's amazing I have arms to give hugs now and I can feel them too he laughs and runs to an yui Senpai wrapping his arms around the therapist's neck and pulling him closer he quickly does the same to kayama Senpai who immediately returns with a crushing hug of her own ishiyama Senpai is a bit more awkward but not as much as flat then he moves to ectoplasm but as he approaches the guy raises a hand into a stop sign nope not doing this kid he says rather rudely and then evaporates away oh isuku mutters slightly disappointed okay then he looks around around and finds the only person in the room who he didn't hug yet with a grin he runs to Yamada Senpai with open arms no dice little listener Yamada says as he approaches you're not hugging me oh isuku says looking down why not because I'm hugging you first Yamada Senpai replies with a grin and before isuku could react he's being scooped in his arms and embraced by the loud hero wow you're lighter than I thought isuku immediately starts laughing and wraps his arms around Yamada senpai's neck I never felt so happy isuku said says his voice barely a whisper I have a family again that's everything I could ask for Yamada Senpai seems to hear him because he hugs isaku even tighter with one arm and with the other he pulls isawa Senpai into the hug you won't be alone again little listener he says softly we promise you be it as Mido or as Mia isaku you are one of us now he's right Problem Child isawa Senpai adds we got your back just don't expect more hugs from me okay your hugs are reserved for the cats isuku says with a smile I'll remember that good isawa Senpai nods with a smirk divided by shaa has been feeling watched all morning ever since he arrived at UA he's been certain that someone was watching him but it's different from when NSU or Mido follow him on camera none of his students can sneak on him so he quickly discards this possibility when he tells zashi about it his boyfriend chalks it down to paranoia which is fair shaa can't deny that he's a little paranoid one does not survive as an underground hero without a healthy dose of paranoia but still shouta is sure this isn't just his paranoia talking someone is watching him and he can't find it this is actually pretty familiar which makes shaa even more on edge because he's sure that if this has something to do with the problem child he knows he's about to be pranked the question is when unfortunately there's not much he can do at the moment besides keeping an eye open besides he is class now and the problem child wouldn't Ambush him in the middle of class right for most of the morning classes went like usual so usual that shouta almost for forgot about his mysterious stalker that is until he noticed the vent above the class discreetly opening nothing that unusual either NSU sometimes will pay a surprise visit to classes just to mess with the students but when after several minutes no one leaves the vent his paranoia comes back in full force he's sure no one is in class but he can feel himself being observed as he lectures his class he keeps the vent in the corner of his eyes at all times to make sure no one is coming in this definitely has Problem Child written all over it but what is he planning can anyone tell me what is the appropriate procedure for when you encounter a child in a disaster Zone he asks the class as he continues the lecture not a single student raises their hand no one I know shouta freezes as he hears the very familiar voice right next to him in a space he's sure it's empty assess the situation calmly assess the child's condition establish communication be friendly and comforting Don't Panic if you the hero start panicking the kid certainly will if necessary provide first AIDS if you can get the kid out safely do it shouta stares in confusion at the empty spot where the voice is coming from and he's sure all his students are doing the same then suddenly he feels something barreling on him and a pair of arms wrapping around his body he can feel some kind of armor touching him and an image flickers in front of him and the problem child slowly comes into Vision he's wearing a purple armor weapon that resembles an open jacket and KNE high boots underneath he appears to be wearing white pants and a black T-shirt both skin tight around his waist is a utility belt his helmet is black purple and white details with a visor that expands beyond the helmet to look like a mask and his green eyes are visible underneath behind the helmet two ribbons extend like a scarf he also has two yellow gauntlets on his wrists of course it was you shout to size I thought we agreed hugs are reserved for cats I had to test this armor stealth isaku replies with a mischievous grin and if I can sneak on a racer head it means I can sneak on anyone shout aze but makes no move to shake off the boy who clings to him like a koala that's impressive shouta commends the only reason I even knew someone was watching me was because of instinct I didn't see or hear a single thing great then it works isuku says his smile softening now I just need to test the weapons please tell me maima didn't give you guns Problem Child shouter replies worriedly of course not isuku raises his hand and The Gauntlet opens up depositing a coni like weapon in his hand guns are too noisy he gave you knives shout asiz exasperatedly and isuku just grins back at him will you let me go no I don't think I will isuku replies shout asiz once again and turns back to his class who are all looking at him in equal parts surprise curiosity and Terror huh maybe this isn't so bad carrying on shaa says ignoring isuku still clinging to him now we'll start with fire rescue procedures the class groans an annoyance which only makes shouta grins more he can also hear isuku chuckling softly beside him few things can surprise nzu and even fewer can infuriate him but the current situation it makes his blood boil the only good thing about this situation is that isuku is currently accompanying zashi on a patrol so he's not here to hear it still nzu will have to tell him later and Chimera knows he'll be furious what is the situation the hpsc is sticking their absurdly large noses into what is none of their business again earlier that year all might had approached nzu in search of a teaching position at UA nzu was already very unhappy with the hero after learning what he had done to isaku but to make matters worse all might already passed on his Quirk to one of his students the reason reason why he wanted the position was for a chance to teach his successor or so he said now refusing the number one hero like this would be pretty bad for uas image so NSU said he'd hire him if he got his teaching license but that wasn't for all might of course it wasn't things always have to go exactly how he wants to whenever he wants to so instead of doing the minimally professional thing and going after his teaching license which wouldn't be that hard all might can only work 3 hours a day and he has a lot of free time the buffoon went to the hpsc for help and they forced nzu to hire him now nzu has more than enough blackmail material to get them to back off but that's still not the time to use it so he just pretended to be under their control and agreed to hire the idiot as the heroic teacher and despite all Mike claiming he wanted to keep an eye on to to whom he had passed one for all a few weeks ago he still insisted he would teach the first years and again NSU didn't have any choice in the matter but if this Arrogant Bastard thinks he'll do whatever he wants in nsu's school he's in for a big surprise nzu is about to remind him why he's the principal I'm glad we could get into an agreement Neu all might says with a far too smug smile oh all might NSU grins at him we aren't finished yet I think we are all might replies we have a contract set and I have people to save you see all might Neu says calmly I take this school and the future of my students very seriously that's why I handpick all of my teachers and make sure they have the right qualifications for teaching his smile vanishes as he looks at all might with a predatory gaze and yet he went over all of that and forced my hand so let's make one thing very clear I don't care about your legacy I don't care about how important you think you are you better take this position seriously otherwise you will regret understood loud and clear nzu all might replies almost mockingly as he turns around to leave as soon as the door closes nzu lets out a heavy sigh looks like they might have to go ahead with Plan D sooner than expected still for now he will give all might the benefit of the doubt he knows the buffoon will mess things up soon the only question is how soon well there's one thing nzu can do to ensure his students won't be completely at his Mercy though he wishes there was another way but it looks like all might will be getting a teaching assistant this year divided by as soon as isuku entered the principal's office he could see there was something wrong with nzu for starters the chimera's fur looked slightly disheveled and nzu always takes so much care of his fur then there's his posture he's slightly hunched something anyone who doesn't know him well would miss but not isuku hey Dad at some point in their relationship isuku accepted nzu as a father figure in his life and started calling him dad the teachers who still didn't figure out who he was just assumed he calls him that because NSU is his creator it's quite amusing what's wrong hello pup nzu replies with a soft smile sit down I have to talk to you it's an upsetting subject isaku can see that this is going to be a serious talk so he Taps his chest once and his armor model Harpy leaves his body compressing into the size of a briefcase isuku throws the case up and the vent opens closing right after the case enters from there the conveyor system will carry them back to the lap isaku and nzu remade the entire vent system of UA to add those and a few more cool things once he's out of the armor isuku sits down at the desk in front of his dad who's already preparing tea for both of them he's even using his special brand which means that whatever this is about it's really serious once the tea is ready he pours two cups for them isuku I want to start by saying I'm sorry nzu bows down in front of isaku what is this about dad isuku asks taking a sip of his tea this is starting to unnerve him this year all might is going to become our first year's new heroics teacher Neu explains not beating around the bush it takes everything from him not to do a spit take W what isuku asks shakily dad this isn't funny I know you'd never hire all might as a teacher you know how bad he is I know pup menzu shakes his head but it's not my choice the hpsc realization Dawns on isaku he went after them he's an idiot Neu nods he owes them a favor now and they'll exploit It to the Limit but it doesn't change the fact that I'm being forced to hire him he can't hurt my family again isuku says shaking his head he can't take my family again he won't isuku Neu says firmly I promise you pup I won't let him do whatever he wants to we'll be ready he has a lot of enemies isuku says he thinks all for one is dead but he never recovered a body there's no reason to believe he's really dead he takes a deep breath I'll talk to G it's time to update uas security again I'll leave that to you Neu replies not even I can hold a candle to you when it comes to cyber security you far surpassed me in the last few years isuku is glad that among all the features this robot body has blushing isn't one of them still his dad's face makes clear that he's not fooling him I'll be updating everything isuku says when I'm done with these systems nothing will even breathe inside this school without us knowing before you start I want to ask one more thing from you NSU says you can refuse it of course I won't ever force you to interact with all might but would you consider becoming his teaching assistant you want me to babysit all might in class isuku raises an eyebrow I can do that as long as I'm allowed to be Petty and passive aggressive don't worry about it nzu replies with a chuckle he already knows I'm not happy with him but he still thinks he's Untouchable how much longer until we can carry on with Plan D isuku asks with a smile stentel is getting a little impatient too not much longer Neu replies he he might force me to carry on even earlier than expected to be honest but as soon as we can confirm that all for one is really dead or if he's alive as soon as we can either set them up to fight each other or find a way to put an end to him ourselves then all might will have outlived his usefulness to society and that's when we'll act isuku nods precisely nzu replies giving him a feral grin what about tagata isuku asks I'll be keeping an eye on him Neu says with a sigh we'll be doing our best to stop all might from brainwashing him into his second coming sir nidi is a problem too isuku points out Can't you stop tagata from going back to him not without a good reason nzu shakes his head and we can't give a good reason without showing our hand too early great isuku SI I'll keep an eye on tagata as well he's a good kid and he'll be a great hero we won't let all might ruin his future NSU nods after that isuku walks to the wall and knocks twice a chamber opens and isuku enters a bunch of wires connecting to his body once everything is in place he leaves the robot body going back to the security system he travels straight to the support Labs where heai is working on some projects hopping into one of the catbots that now roam everywhere through UA thans Shadow isuku walks to him and meow's once what the hiai jumps in Surprise dropping his screwdriver damn it isuku warn a man next time I did that's what the meow is for isuku replies what are you doing I'm working on the robots for this year's entrance exam heai explains the same ones as always though this year NSU wants to upgrade the zero pointers I wonder if he'd let me sub for them isaku says with a grin he's mostly joking mostly if you asked I'm sure he'd allow hiai replies scratching the bot behind the ears which makes isuku purr Shadow really outdone himself on this one yeah he did isuku nods looking at his current body me ao's RMK 13 as Shadow named it is very similar to the first meowo Shadow modified for him but this one is much more realistic than the previous models including synthetic f one would need to examine him very closely to realize he's not a real cat this model is bigger than the previous ones looking like a brown mainco as much as I love talking about my son's Feats and support I'm sure this isn't why you came here heai says a moment later do we have another project you can say that isuku nods I want to overhaul all the security every single part the entire security hiai raises an eyebrow UA is already arguably the safest place in Japan he points out well we might actually be behind but that place is a Maximum Security Prison I know but it's not enough isuku sigh and lies down on his paw the hpsc is forcing dad to hire all might this year the excavation Hero's breath hitches at the Revelation and he lifts his helmet so isuku can see his eyes no one but nzu stentel and Rion knew of izuku's past with all might but everyone knew of his dislike for the hero but truth be told somehow all might is more hated among the heroes than even Endeavor was before he was arrested at least Endeavor never pretended not to be an Arrogant Bastard all might might as well be the most false and hypocritical person ever to set foot on Earth shaa and isuku had spent long hours talking about their shared dislike for the man and all might has a lot of enemies it completes enemies that won't hesitate to Target us to get him isaku we'll be pushing ahead the implementation of the security protocols we talked about a few months ago isuku say how are the prototypes not enough field testing but preliminary tests showed no problems they did well against the robots hean explains we can ask ectoplasm for help Gathering more data no isuku shakes his head I tried asking him before and he refused I'm not sure what but ectoplasm seems to have something against me I think we should ask zashi n and shushu instead you are the only person who would call shout of something like that hegai Chuckles this could work Ecto would be better but I noticed how he's been acting too I really wonder what's wrong with him what can we do isaku shrugs most of the updates I have in mind will include the prototypes and some updates in our software he explains closing his eyes and connecting to hegan's laptop we won't need many Hardware changes but I want to implement the radar one of your students created last year can you talk to them leave it to me hiai nods how long do you think it'll take a few months isuku SI but I hope we can have everything ready before the end of the first week of school recommendation exams are next month right yes hean says tapping his chin a few times I think zashi will be the Proctor this year and Ned will do the interviews himself oh that's rare he usually leaves that for Rion NE isaku points out Will Shadow take it no he will take the regular exam heai replies I can only recommend him for one of the exams and he has chosen support right nzu said that if he can score well enough in both exams he can be in a hybrid program isaku points out I forgot about that for a moment it's more than just doing well though Neu needs to make sure that Shao will be able to adapt to being on two courses at the same time and for that shaow will need to score in the top 10 in both exams not that isuku is worried he knows sure shaow has it in the back well that's why he's been studying so much recently heai explains he's quite nervous actually I think he could afford to leave the lab a little can you say no more isuku replies jumping up I'll be perfectly happy to help thank you isuku hiai Smiles at him he's at the usual lap I'm on my way isuku says getting up and rushing out of the lap it has been a while since isuku and and shaow last hung out together both being very busy with their projects this will be good for both of them shaow isn't sure how long he has been here he kind of lost track of time a few hours ago dad has been pestering him for a while to leave the lab for a little but he can't do that yet he's about to solve this problem he just knows it Shadow only has about one more month to prepare for his entrance exam and he absolutely refuses to fail as much as his dad keeps saying he'll do well on the exam Shadow doesn't want to do well anything less than his best would be an insult his current project is something he has been keeping a secret from everyone everyone but isuku that is but it's impossible to hide anything from him the boy literally has eyes everywhere the one way Shao can think of hiding something from him would be by hiding it on a physical chest and burying it in a forest with absolutely no access to any kind of technology and even so Shadow doesn't doubt isuku would still be able to find it somehow but that's besides the point Shadow knows he's worrying his dad and possibly overworking himself but he can't just stop now he's almost finishing this he has two projects He wants to show on his exam the first one he made for himself a thermal suit that if working as intended will help him regulate his body temperature even without having to use his Quirk this means he won't need to force himself to use the other side of his quirk in a disfavorable situation just to balance his temperature truth be told Shadow only started using his fire a few months ago after a lot of therapy he knows logically that his fire is his and has nothing to do with Endeavor other than being inherited from but he's not completely comfortable using it yet and he's not ashamed to admit his control over it currently is quite trash the first few things shaow wants to create our support gear to help him wield his fire safely and efficiently maybe then he can finally make his brain stop seeing his fire as his father's for good but the thermal suit isn't what shadow is working on at the moment the suit is practically ready already no what shadow is making now is something he wants to show off on his exam he really hopes Uncle shaow will be there he's risking being disowned for creating that but Uncle Sha's face when he sees this will be Priceless as Shadow tightens a screw he absent hears the door open but ignores it it's probably dad trying to convince him to take a break again not happening however instead of a hand on his shoulder or someone calling him shadow instead hears a meow which actually manages to distract him enough to glance behind him oh hey isuku Shadow greets before going back to his work do you need me to recalibrate anything nope isuku replies I'm here for another thing before Shadow could ask what isuku jumped on the table grabbing shao's screwdriver in his mouth isaku give it back Shao says extending his hand isuku however sits on the tool and starts licking his paw acting perfectly like a cat I know you're still there isaku theow the robot meows at him tilting his head but Shadow won't be fooled narrowing his eyes shaow tenses for a second before diving to try and grab the cat but isuku quickly jumps out of the way landing on shao's back with the screwdriver back in his mouth come on isuku I need this sh tries arguing but isaku just shakes his head walking to the PC where shaow was working on the code for his new robot you won't let me go back to work will you meow isuku shakes his head and sits on the keyboard God he's so good at playing the cat please isuku Shadow tries pleading despite knowing it won't work and as expected isuku just shakes his head come on what do you want me to do isuku just tilts his head and points to the power button on the PC you want me to shut it down a nod I can't stop now isuku I'm almost reaching a breakthrough isaku levels him with the biggest unimpressed a cat could give anyone and raises a paw towards the screen Shadow's eyes widen as the cursor starts moving on its own stopping just over the delete option isaku Shadow Narrows his eyes as the little lowers his paw just an inch he very slowly reaches for the enter key while keeping eye contact with Shadow don't you dare isuku he warns but he keeps going please don't do this isuku meow isuku meows again and Shadow knows exactly what he wants to say with this as Paul is now just hovering over the key okay fine I'll take a break just don't do this shaow finally relents there are weeks of work on this file isaku nods and moves away from the keyboard Shadow sigh in relief and quickly sits back on the PC saving everything and creating three backups for good measure he knows that if isuku really wants to delete his work it won't be a backup that will save it but doing so still gives him some piece of Mind once he's done he shuts down the PC and walks to isuku grabbing the cat which is quite light dis desite being made of metal for the most part isuku immediately starts nuzzling his face yeah I know I was being stubborn but did you really have to do that shaow asks as he leaves the studio would you have listened if I didn't isuku finally drops the cat act and starts talking again touche Shadow SI did Dad ask for your help he did but I also wanted to spend some time with you isuku replies it's been weeks since we last hung out it hasn't been that long Shao replies trying to remember the last time he hung out with isuku has it exactly 3 weeks 5 days 23 hours 26 minutes and 25 seconds isuku replies we have both been pretty busy huh I guess we were Shao nods what do you want to do I'm not in the mood for playing today isuku replies how about we watch a movie together sounds good Shadow Smiles vent room yep isuku nods all right I get snacks and you choose the movie Shao asks sounds great isaku jumps on Sha's shoulder using him as a springboard to reach the vent see you in a minute Shadow a few hours later when nzu appears in the vent room to check on them isuku and Shadow are both asleep as a Disney movie plays in the background isaku comfortably cuddled against Shadow's left side as the other pets his head absent-mindedly isaku very rarely sleeps since he doesn't really need it so NSU always makes sure not to wake him up when he does sleep instead he just takes a few pictures of the two pups together when isuku and shaow wake a few hours later they find a blanket draped on them shaow has to admit he feels a lot better now now refreshed when he finally goes back to work the next day everything is much easier maybe Dad was right when he said Shadow needed to take more breaks 1,1,1 1,100 1, 1,100 1,11 1,10,000 101 1,1 10,100 1,1 100,001 shaa has a bad feeling about this year and the fact that he'll have to work alongside possibly the worst hero in history is only half of the reason truth be told everyone who isn't brainwashed by the hpsc knows just how bad of a hero all might really but he's powerful and he's popular this basically means he can do whatever he wants with little to no consequences at all the so-called era of Peace he brought to Japan is nothing but an illusion while it's true that crime rates dropped those rates only take into consideration the crimes committed in broad daylight the big flashy villains that the Limelight Heroes end up having to fight with a crowd of people watching and cheering those are quite a rarity nowadays so much so that most Limelight Heroes mostly end up having to deal with purse snatchers during their patrols but other villains the Smart Ones Who hide in the shadows the Yakuza human traffickers drug dealers organ traffickers and even slavers not only did those villains not go down but there was actually a rise in their activities since all might became the number one hero that's unfortunately due to another thing all might brought upon Society cork ISM all might created an image of what heroism is a hero is a big strong person with a flashy Quirk that can solve any problem by smiling and ing bad guys this means that anyone who doesn't fit into this image ends up being ostracized by Society no one has it worse than the ones with so-called villainous quirks and the ones who don't have a quirk at all and clever villains know how to exploit these problems villainy is at an all-time high and as long as all might continues to serve as a pillar for this broken Society it'll remain like that shaa knows that isuku and nzu have a plan to deal with it but they are biting their time to act or rather nzu is biting his time on the plan isuku wishes nothing more than to destroy the the number one hero already but he's reasonable enough to trust his father figure to know the right time to act and when the time comes shaa will be right there to laugh at the Arrogant buffoon face sooner or later he'll learn an important lesson no one is Untouchable but before that shaa will have to survive one more year with a class full of superpowered teenagers who seem to thrive on making him lose his sanity and to make things worse this year he's sure Shadow will have to deal with majima's brat majima Shadow formerly known as Todoroki Shadow came a long way from the closed off boy shout and met all those years ago the problem is that he's izuku's best friend and he's as much of a gremlin as the original Problem Child hell sometimes he's even worse shaa knows he's planning something for the entrance exam but he has no idea of what even maima seems to be in the dark about his son's plans and of course nzu is making sure that shaa is on the exam board for the support course it's logical he can't deny despite not using that much support gear shaa is very knowledgeable about what can or cannot be used in the industry that doesn't mean he has to be happy about it what got you brooding today asashi asks as he sits down on the couch next to him they aren't married yet shaa intends to propose soon after things calm down a little but they moved together a few months ago they already slept at each other's place all the time so things don't change much just now they both live at shouta's apartment since it's closer to UA and not very far from Zach's radio I'm not brooding shaa replies just thinking about the entrance exam next week I'm sure Problem Child Number Two is planning something and this my dear shoe it's called brooding as ashy says with a laugh come on whatever he's planning can't be that bad right he's isuku best friend shaa points out who is in case you forgot nsu's son so yeah you're right it won't be that bad it'll be worse God you're so dramatic his ashy laughs just as Mr Muffins jumps on his lap hey baby how are you doing the cat meows at him before glancing at shaa papa is just being dramatic don't worry you're lucky you always get the normal students shouta size slumping on the couch I wish nzu would let me get the Gen and students for once or so you think as Ashi replies I might not get the herob Bratz but a class of 20 almost Geniuses and the occasional genius isn't much better to handle at least your students won't end up dying if you look away for a second shouta points with a smirk you know what Fair as asashi relents but if someone got the short end of the stick it's maima everyone knows how explosion happy the support students are and one of them will be in my class this year shout to eyes rubbing his eyes he needs a vacation you talk like he's already in Yamada says you've heard nzu Shadow needs to get in the top 10 in both exams if he wants to be in both classes oh please if shaow doesn't get in the top five for both exams I'll eat my scarf shaa scofs well I'd make a bet with you but it would be easier to just hand you the money asashi laughs now I'll start dinner so look after your daughter for a while he puts Mr Muffins on shouta's lap and gets up be good for papa okay dear then he goes to the kitchen to start on dinner papa papa play the cat asks cheerfully you know what why not shaa says getting up and putting the cat on the floor before reaching for the toy box at least I have you to keep me sane Mr Muffins let out a sound that sounded a lot like a huff before putting a paw on his leg Papa dramatic she says before jumping back and sitting down betrayed by my own daughter shouta jokes as he takes the feathered wand from the box wo is me Mr Muffins just ignores shouta's mock distress and starts jumping trying to reach the feather shaa keeps it out of her reach despite all the gray hairs he's already anticipating this year shaa can't deny he's at least a little excited for this year having to deal with all might is less than ideal but at least he gets to see isuku pranking the number one hero and he has no doubt the problem child will and with neu's blessing the day of the recommendation exams arrives much faster than Shao was expecting however he did have enough to finish all his projects he's as ready as he'll ever be that morning shaow decides to take the train instead of getting a ride from his D to the school on days like this catching a train with dozens of people his age who were also going to the exam shaow feels like a simple normal person he isn't the son of the disgraced former number two hero but simply maim a shadow a support hopeful on his way to the exams in his hands he has a folder with his if he can say so himself rather impressive portfolio he of working on upgrading maos and creating other interesting gadgets got Shadow quite prepared for this exam lying at his feet is a suitcase which has the project he's been working on for the last weeks and that he can't wait to show he really hopes that Uncle Shadow will be on the exam board as the train stops at the station Shadow and at least a dozen other kids all get off some look nervous some confident and then there's the pink-haired girl who's vibrating so hard that shadow thinks she might phase through the floor if she doesn't calm down but before Shadow can even think if he should try to say something to her she takes off towards UA shaking his head Shadow follows suit she has the right idea at least getting to UA he has about half an hour left until the exam starts so he makes his way to the examining room to wait for his turn just like for the hero course there are only two recommendation slots per class but since there are three Support classes it means that there will be six students chosen today from the nearly 100 students taking the exam as Shadow is musing about his chances of getting in he hears a meow and turns around to see maos looking at him with his facial display showing a smiley emotic hey mid he reaches down and scratches the bot behind the ear did you come to wish me luck no way as a whose voice comes from the front speaker are you implying you're depending on luck to Ace this exam wow thanks Shadow replies you'll be fine Shadow I know you will isuku says you'll go in and blow everyone's Minds with your amazing inventions fine Shadow Chuckles are you an examiner not going to spoil isuku replies fine keep your secrets Shadow grumbles guess aless found you Nik Baby Shadow hears a female voice from the end of the corridor oops got to go isuku say movie night after the the exams then he jumps away and starts running wait get back here Nico Baby Shadow turns and sees the pink-haired girl from earlier running after maos with a screwdriver I just want to take a little look I promise I'll put you back together you'll never catch me alive a robotic voice comes from meowo as he runs away shadow and everyone else nearby just watches the scene with a confused face as both disappear on the corner a moment later a proctor for the exam appears and calls the first examine for the interview Shadow ends up being the fourth one called and once it's his turn he follows the Proctor inside a room the room has a big stage and lots of space to demonstrate whatever inventions he created as he walks to the place the Proctor indicated he glances at the Examining Board taking in the people there the first one is principal nzu who has a very familiar glint in his eyes as he observes Shadow like an insect under a microscope then next to him is Dad no not dad today he's power loader with his expression hidden by his helmet next to him is snipe and Shadow can't see his expression because of his mask and finally Uncle shouta call him a racer head today Shadow don't forget drinking coffee straight from a thermos well hello there maim mun NSU starts am I a mouse a bear a dog I'm the principal and now it's time for your interview those are power loader snipe and eraser head and we'll be your examiners today thank you nzu Dan power loader says now let's go straight to the point we'd like to start with your portfolio could you show three of your projects of course D power loader sand Shadow says with a nod and puts his folder on a desk nearby then he gives a flash drive to the Proctor let's start with one of my first projects he says as the Proctor sticks the flash drive to a notebook and starts a slide presentation this is Mao's model RM K2 at the time only known as M's MK2 this line shows the blueprints of the first cat body Shadow created from zero for isuku a few years ago interesting Neu says they I ask why MK2 and not the MK1 the MK1 isn't something I created shadow replies I just modified an already existing cat robot he gestures for the Proctor who starts passing the slides a few images and a short video of naos working are shown naos was made with a few features including full Mobility very precise cameras in the eyes sound capts in the ears and a projector in the mouth the slides show a progression of the robots until they get to the mk7 at this point I decided to split into two models the slide shows the mk7 and two arrows pointing in a branching style model R standing realistic is focused on looking as similar to a real cat as possible they have synthetic fur and each one is based on a different cat breed model SE standing for cartoon is focused on looking like toys and they are made to be seen as kid-friendly and approachable their facial screen can show many amans to mimic Expressions but they can also show words for cases where it's necessary to interact with hard of hearing people and how do them Contraptions function anyhow snipe asks next they have a manual feature where they can be operated by something as simple as a video game controller shaow explains they also have an automatic wandering feature where they will Patrol preset areas and can interact with people via voice recognition they have a simple AI That's programmed to interpret and answer over 2,000 different questions and finally they can be manually operated by mid snipe whistles in amazement at that well partner that their Contraption you done built is quite the Marvel I must say he said how many have been built currently the raser head asks next model C MK6 is the latest model and there are about 25 of them wandering UA halls and helping guide the kids Shao replies we had 30 but at least five of them were taken home by some students and they are yet to return the four examiners laughed at that there has been a lot of students hiding amados in their bags and taking them home they are programmed to always go back to UA though so sooner or later all 30 will be back as for the model R mk13 is the latest model Shadow continued unlike the model C model R is used mostly for undercover operations and spy work there are a few wandering the school who approach panicking students as well there are 15 of them currently operational both models are capable of purring he adds the last part as an afterthought very interesting Neu nods at him and what else do you have here the next one is a support item I created for myself Shadow says as the slide shows the blueprint my Quirk is half hot half cold I am capable of creating fire from my left side and ice from my right side however overusing each side will cause me heat stroke and hypothermia respectively I can use the other side to balance it but there might be some situations where I just can't use one of them for that I created he explains opening the case he brought and pulling out a black vest the thermal vest name subject to change in the future this vest can monitor my internal temperature and whenever it raises or drops it'll activate and either cool or warm me back to a nice 97f I see the racer head says leaning closer to have a better look is it tested as far as possible for obvious reasons it's not field tested yet shaow explains there are a few glitches I intend to work out in the next models but it works as intended also while I made this for myself it can be worn by anyone with temperature related drawbacks the base temperature can also be regulated for people who need to keep a higher or lower temperature then he raises his left hand and lifts a flame under the vest it's completely fireproof and made of an insulating material that can protect against electrical discharges the next slide shows the vest in several colors a available in black gray white red blue and green well sh I mean maiman power loader says you have a great portfolio now for the next part you were supposed to bring one of your inventions to display do you want to submit the thermal vest for that part no sir Sho shakes his head I brought another thing for that well let's see it Neu says excitedly Shadow nods and lies his briefcase on the floor then he opens it startup sequence Shadow says password bark a bark comes from the suitcase and shaow watches with a smirk as Uncle shouta's eyes widen and he gives shaow the most betrayed expression he has ever seen in his life a moment later a robot dog jumps from the suitcase and stands next to Shadow this is baros MK1 Shao says he works similarly to meos but I built them with a different function in mind barkos engage Watchdog protocol bark the dog barked loudly and then his eyes turn green Patrol area 10 m center maima shadow shadow instructs and the dog starts walking in circles around him keeping about 10 m away in this mode barkos will Patrol the area in search of any type of suspicious activity if he finds something his eyes will turn yellow and he'll bark at the suspicious person in warning a signal will be sent to whatever terminal he's connected to currently this would be my phone and how does he identify suspicious individuals power loader asks I use a two-factor identifier Shadow replied first is a face database currently he only has the teachers faces registered since I don't have access to the student database and then there's the student's ID they all have a chip that he can identify anyone who lacks one of those features will be considered suspicious guest IDs also works since upon being issued the person's face will be automatically registered in the database well partner reckon what occurs if that their suspicious fellow turns out to be a Bonafide trespasser snipe asks in this case he'll run the person's face in another database Sho replies if it's found out that the trespasser is a villain or if they are caught trying to do something barkos engage combat protocol barkos eyes turn red and he Bears his teeth in this mode barkos will attack and restrain any suspicious individual he'll automatically engage in this protocol if he detects a villain or sees someone engaging in il legal activity exceptions can be programmed this version is still in the testing stages any known problems power loader asks the facial recognition software will occasionally glitch shaow explains I made sure to add a safeguard for when it happens in that case he'll automatically engage caution mode and start barking at anything that moves and Uncle shaa starts hesitantly how loud is The Barking about as loud as a golden retriever Shao replies and has to suppress a laugh at his uncle's expression you're going to use it aren't you Uncle shaa asks turning to nzu well I'm sure our dear Mido will be more than happy to include this great invention in our security system nzu replies with a grin my God my God why have you forsaken me Uncle shaa grumbles looking up in despair well maiman it looks like our time is almost over Neu says so I'd like to ask one question before we finish this what is support gear for you support gear is the backbone of heroics Shadow replies without hesitation very few heroes are capable of being efficient without using any kind of support gears and the ones who insist on not using them are usually known for causing lots of collateral damage and accident two examples I can give her the current number one hero and the former number two both refuse to use any type of support gear and both caused billions of yen in collateral damage in a very short span of time I see Neu nodded with a satisfied expression well maim mun that will be all I wish you the best regards and all the success the results will be sent to your home in 2 days I'm grateful for the opportunity nusan Shadow replies with a bow I also thank power loader eraser head and snipe for their time with that he whistles and baros goes back inside the briefcase before shutting down Shadow hands the case to an employee it will be examined further by power loader later both to make sure it was really built by him and to better understand the workings then he follows the Proctor out of the room number five the Proctor calls that's me the pink-haired girl says and rushes to the Proctor practically jumping in place come on come on let's hurry up I have to show off all my beautiful babies babies that's an interesting way to call her inventions it's also pretty accurate dad often tells him about how each one of his inventions feels like one of his own children shaking his head shadow to one of the secret vents isaku must be working at the moment but there's nothing stopping Shadow from taking a nap in the vent room he didn't sleep that well last night so a nap sounds really nice right now the hero course entrance exam follows the support course exams and isuku is on guard Duty again but this time it's worse he has to deal with a bunch of entitled teenagers sneaking illegal support gear into the exam so far he's found three guns seven knives five grenades over 20 tasers and even a shot of trigger the last one got to T while the others had their illegal gear confiscated isuku eyes looking over at snipe who's adding another gun to the growing pile why do so many people try to sneak this stuff in it's not hard to register support gear for the exam couldn't they just use official channels isuku grumbles running his armored hand through his synthetic hair he takes another gun and why are there so many guns is it that easy to get a license nowadays snipe just shrugs and confiscates another taser just as isuku is about to comment a purple-haired kid stops in front of him excuse me is this where I'm supposed to submit this the boy hands isuku some forms in a bow staff isuku quickly scans the forms with his cyber eyes checking the permission form and the bow staff's blueprint everything seems fine he looks at the boy and recognizes him shinsu atoshi pork brainwash blood type app height 510 birthday July 1st age 15 Nabu Middle School isaku notices that his file has a lot of notes about illegal Quirk usage and fighting looking briefly at the boy he notices a few old muzzle scars hidden under a poor attempt at makeup he files everything for later this absolutely reeks of Quirk discrimination isuku nods stamps the boy's forms and hands back the staff good luck with the exam shinsu shinsu nods and takes his staff as he walks away isuku watches with Amusement as the boy freezes and mutters about how isuku knew his name without an introduction hey Mido it's time to swap cementos says as he approaches isuku the boss wants you to help zashi Proctor the written exam all right isuku replies glancing back at the remaining group can you two handle things here no trouble at all parner snipe says giving him a thumbs up isuku Dawns his helmet activates stealth mode and disappears Into Thin Air he just misses the arrival of a boy with Ash and blonde hair and red eyes 1, 10,11 1,100 1, 1,100 1,11 1,10,000 101 1,10,000 100 1,1 100,000 hasashi observes the students trickling into the room racing to find their seats the last one barely makes it in with only 10 seconds left before the exam begins when the time Runs Out ectoplasm starts handing out exam packets to everyone that's when hasashi feels a slight tug on his sleeve he turns around but doesn't see anything he smiles and raises his hand placing it on what seems like thin air yet he can still feel the smooth surface of isuku helmet isuku stealth armor is completely undetectable when he turns invisible like this hasashi and gives the helmet a few friendly rubs before refocusing on the students who are just starting their exams a moment later he hears a whooshing sound which means isuku has jumped away the boy probably found a higher vantage point to keep an eye on potential cheaters hasashi takes a seat and appears as if he's not paying attention but he's actually alert to any suspicious movements this attentiveness helps him spot a girl in one of the back rows trying to sneak a glance at the phone she's hiding poorly under her test packet B6 as ashy mutters into his communication device a few seconds later a conai flies from the ceiling piercing through the girl's packet and stopping just short of her impaling her phone number 942 you are disqualified for attempting to cheat asashi announces shortly after one of ectoplasms clones appears to escort the girl out she protests claiming she didn't cheat but the truth is clear to everyone I'd like to remind everyone that cheating will not only result in disqualification but also in a complete ban from UA altogether I believe the risk is not worth it as ashy warns the remaining students despite their warnings hasashi and isuku catch at least half a dozen wannabe cheaters each of them finds a kunai on their desk as a shocking reminder it's disappointing to see people thinking they can easily cheat at uas exam but in the end it means less work for them later about an hour later the first students start completing their tests a bit after the 2-hour Mark Shadow raises his hand signaling that he's finished as ashy can't show any favoritism but everyone knows he and all the teachers are secretly rooting for the boy by the time the three hours are up only a few students didn't manage to finish hasashi is sure he can feel at least a couple of people sobbing it's sad but it's something that happens every year he can only hope those students had a backup plan for UA but that's not his business as the students leave for lunch hasashi hears a soft thud behind him and sees isuku deactivating his invisibility the sheer nerve of some people is astonishing isuku says as he pulls off his helmet there are always some people who try cheating asashi replies with a shrug no one ever succeeds I actually think some people come here just to see if they can be the first well knowing dad he would actually reward the student who managed to cheat without him catching on isuku says with a nod yeah that sounds like something nzu would do asashi laughs before ruffling isuku hair how are things in the cafeteria tension is high isuku says with closed eyes the maos are working overtime to calm panicking students but thankfully I don't see any fights about to start well that's good to know asashi says how about we prea oh for God's sake isaku yells throwing his hands up in frustration what's wrong ISU asashi asks worried so if my memory doesn't fail me all the teachers who were supposed to grade the exam are already here right isuku asks yep everyone has been here since 7M hasashi confirms then what the hell is asite doing here isuku says in frustration what is ASI's eyes widen he's here are you sure yep I have a meowo following him he seems to be looking for someone isuku grumbles as he starts stomping away oh no you won't as Ashi watches stunned as isuku puts on his helmet and disappears a second later he wouldn't have seen when he left the room if not for the door slamming 1,1,1 1,100 1, 1,100 1,11 1,1,1 1,10,000 101,1 100,001 Shadow isn't nervous whoever says that is a lying liar Who Lies he just has to take the entrance exam in the most competitive School in Japan and maybe even the world and do well enough to be be placed in the top 10 otherwise he can kiss his dream of being a support hero hybrid student could buy no effing pressure he's fairly confident he did well at the written exam so now he just needs to do great in the Practical exam piece of cake what his hands are shaking it's the cold just the cold at least he found a peaceful spot to eat his lunch he would probably die if he had to eat in the chaos of the cafeteria usually Shadow would go to the vent room but isaku warned him that just for today his access would be revoked to ensure that he did not have any unfair Advantage fair but still a shame good thing there was a tree just outside the main building that gave the perfect shade at this hour of the day he's just about to start eating when he hears a booming voice approaching I am here to talk with young Todoroki Shadow looked up and saw the intimidating figure of all might approaching him his plastic smile was in place as always but after everything Shadow heard about the hero from isuku his dad and all the other teachers at UA shaow could easily see how fake the smile was my name is maima Shao said not Todoroki of course all might said with a chuckle like he was simply humoring a child it's a shame a Great Hero likee Endeavor was arrested due to the baseless accusations of a villain but at least his son can carry his legacy my dad is maima hagari Shadow gritted out Endeavor was a bastard and an abuser now now young Todoroki that's no way to talk about your father all might emphasize is the word but I guess it can't be helped after being brainwashed for so long you start believing the things you hear I can at least help put you back on the right path and the first step is getting into the hero course I don't know why you weren't in the recommendation exam but I'm sure I can pull some strings to help I don't need your help Shadow yells getting up and glaring at the man I'll do the exam on my own and I'll get in on my own effort and I'll become a hero and support student support all might spats the word why would some with such a powerful and heroic Quirk waste their time with support the fact you have to ask just shows how you don't understand a thing Shadow grumbles as he turns around to leave now young Todoroki all might grabs him by the right wrist with enough force that shadow wines that's no way to talk with the number one hero and it's rude to turn your back to someone who's still talking let me go Shadow growls ready to freeze the so-called hero and make his Escape but he doesn't need to a moment later all might lets him go as a huge metallic knuckle duster digs straight into his cheek sending the number one hero flying several meters Shadow turns to the side and sees isuku standing there wearing an orange armor with a pair of yellow horns on the back of his helmet shouto isuku nods at him there's only half an hour left for lunch so you should go find some better place to eat I'll just exchange a few words with Mr as might here Shadow turns around and sees all might getting up with a scowl on his face knowing it's better to leave Shadow nods at isuku and turns around going as fast as possible without outright running 1, 10,1 1,100 1, 1,100 1,11 1,10,000 101 1,10,000 101, 100,001 strike one all might isuku says glaring at the man what are you talking about machine all might replies returning the glare with equal intensity and why did you attack me I'm the security bot isuku says with a shrug I saw you holding a student with enough strength to leave a bruise and I acted as for the strikes he smiles at all might you know how baseball works right three strikes and you're out that's the compromise nzu worked with the hpsc when they forced him to hire you I did nothing wrong all might replies I just wanted to talk with young Todoroki someone with such a powerful Quirk will no doubt become a Great Hero and since his father is out of the picture because of that villain I was going to take him under my wing I thought you already chose your successor isuku asks raising an eyebrow don't make this face did you really think I wouldn't know about it I know everything that happens inside those walls I did all might grumbles turning away but it doesn't hurt to have a backup plan in case young tato proves to be Unworthy of my power then he leaves the only one unworthy here is is you all might isuku say and turns to leave strike one two more and you're out shaow stands at the gates of the fake City preparing himself to start the exam his bruised wrist is hidden under the long sleeve of his jacket he could have gone to Granny CH and asked her to heal him but he didn't want to risk being tired before the exam started it's just a bruised wrist shaow simply made a nice wristband and put it over it a little discomfort is nothing he can ask for healing after the exam if he's being honest Shadow is more worried about being on all might's radar like that it's obvious that the poor excuse of a hero has taken an interest in him not to mention the way he talked about Endeavor and to think Shadow used to admire him shadow couldn't help wondering if he had always been like this was everything all might ever created and stood for just a farce or was he one day the true hero shaow admired but was corrupted by power shaow shakes his head and slaps his face once there's no use in thinking about this now he needs to concentrate the objective is to destroy as many robots as possible he has to be in the top 10 of the exam otherwise it's bye-bye to his dream shaow doesn't intend to fail taking a deep breath Shadow Lights a fire on his left hand and lets a small layer of ice spread across his right arm he lets it Go and does it again repeating the motion a few times once he's done with his warm up he gets in position waiting for the signal the gates start to open go present Mike's voice sounds and Shadow immediately shoots forward using his eyes to skate as fast as possible what are you waiting for there's no countdowns in real life he has the right idea come on Chop Chop Shao doesn't spare a glance behind him instead he just flies at the closest group of robots before the rest can catch up to him as soon as he reaches the first group he casts a glacier freezing all the robots he doesn't bother counting his points and just goes ahead searching for the next group 1,10,000 1, 1,11 1, 10,110 we have an interesting batch this year NSU says amusedly as he watches the kids running rampant and raining hell on his robots we certainly have isuku nods I'm particularly interested in the boy in the area 5 and the girl in the area 2 let me see nzu goes over the files shinsu atoshi and hagir toru then everyone rolls their eyes as all might in his skinny form starts talking the girl's Quirk is just being invisible she's as good as quirkless and the Boy hasn't used his Quirk at all I fight quirkless and against mutants I am basically quirkless shouta says raising an eyebrow doesn't make me any less efficient as a hero her Quirk is perfect for stealth she would be a great underground hero just as he says that the invisible girl is shown suplexing a onep pointer and we can see that she didn't skimp on the gym underground shouldn't even be considered a field of heroics all might grumbles what about the boy shinsu itoshi pork brainwashing isuku supplies what all might says an alarm how in the world did a villain get to take the test villain nzu asks all might I hope you remember Quirk discrimination is a serious crime we ran a background check on him just like we do with all our students and despite the clear bias showed against him by his teachers he has a pristine record besides whoever named his Quirk as an idiot isuku adds shinsu Quirk is much more like hypnosis than brainwashing still his Quirk is very dangerous if used wrong all might argues surely it wouldn't be wise to both you and me can level half of the city in just a minute and 13 has literal black holes for fingers hasashi says raising an eyebrow your point well but we oh might you already got a strike if you don't want yourself second one before we even start classes I suggest you shut up NSU warns you can keep your corkus opinions to yourself all might seems to want to keep arguing but in the end he has enough sense to shut up by the way higari says looking around the room why isn't ectoplasm here he said he had to take care of something isuku says I think he went to the server room not sure what he needed but we have enough people to judge the exam in the screen shinsu is shown stabbing a two-pointer with his bow staff then jumping out of the way and grabbing a MOS that was just in the line of fire looks like the idea of using the na to award extra rescue points work 13 says well kind of a lot of people are just ignoring them yeah but some are helping isuku replies and these are the ones we should focus on hold on he closes his eyes and connects to the MOs on the screen why is there a cat in the testing area shinsu voice comes from the speaker come on little guy I'll get you somewhere safe I hope I still have time to get some more points then he starts running towards one of the less crowded ious I said this before and I'll say it again cementos says it's amazing how realistic those robots look if I didn't know they were robots I would also mistake them for real cats well Shadow did a great job that's for sure higari replies his voice Laden with pride what about the boy in the area 3 as ASI points he's doing great too who isuku asks turning to the camera but suddenly he gets a ping there's a situation at the gates hound dog is calling sorry got to go then he jumps from his chair and rush to the exit NSU simply glances at the camera and sees a blonde Boy Blowing all villain Bots that come in his Direction now that's a heroic Quirk all might says vug katsuki Quirk explosion Neu explains he's raking a lot of villain points very quickly but he's careless of his surroundings shouta points out he's causing a lot of collateral damage as well that's something we'll have to snip in the butt put him in my class you say that like he's already in flad raises an eyebrow at him the average score in this exam is about 40 shouter replies he's already got over 50 just in villain points yes I have no doubt he'll get in fair enough Vlad shrugs Ben if he gets in I want that one he pointed to a blonde boy who seemed to be using two quirks what's that it's impossible to have multiple quirks all might says sounding very alarmed monomo pork copy he can copy any Quirk via physical contact it lasts about 5 minutes and he can copy three at the same time thenu explains stop jumping to conclusions all might well we are entering the final stretch hasashi announces ready boss I was born ready hasashi K Neu laughs attention listeners we only have 2 minutes left better make it count as Ashi announces and now it's time for the real test nanu say and presses the big red button it's a shame Mido had to leave he wanted to control them manually this time guess it's their lucky day then shouta grumbles as he saw the zero pointers be released that's certainly a way to see it his ashy laughs 1 Mill 10, 1, 1,11 1, 10,110 as isuku gets to the entrance he finds hound dog busy trying to hold back a mob of clearly upset parents with their children behind damn a single year without that is that too much to ask for isaku lowers his hand to his right thigh and a hidden compartment opens he reaches for it and pulls a gun then he points up and shoots the sound makes everyone jump and then all eyes go to him everyone who was disqualified from the exam was for cheating trying to cheat or trying to bring illegal items into the exam if you believe it was unfair you can calmly bring your complaints and I'll show you the evidence otherwise you are trespassing on private property and if you don't leave within 20 seconds arrests will be made isuku says clearly as he puts the gun away 20 19 18 a few of the people started leaving slowly 17 16 15 14 thankfully by the time he gets to 10 everyone realizes he's not bluffing and starts scrambling as fast as they can to get out of uas grounds once the crowd disperses isuku goes to hound dog thank you woof hound dog says trying to calm down I was starting to get worked up it was taking everything from me not to growl in their faces I wouldn't have blamed you if you had isuku says with a smile then he checks the time oh the exam is over I was so excited to drive the zero pointers this year he says with a pout I'm sure you'll get your chance pup hound dog replies patting him on the shoulder you can go now I'm sure Shadow will want to see you for some emotional support fine I'll hide the body first isuku says and waves as he goes back inside just because this phrase makes sense doesn't mean you have to say it like this hound dog replies As isuku Leaves laughing agree to disagree isuku says and speeds up back to the school 1,10,000 1, 1,11 1,1 10,110 shaow feels exhausted every muscle in his body is burning and he's trembling he really pushed himself maybe freezing the zero pointer was a bit too much but in his defense the robot was about to crush another kid he couldn't not do anything with a sigh shadow makes his way to one of the gardens his dad will have to stay for a few more hours and Shadow doesn't feel like being alone at home right now maybe he can track down isuku and they can watch a few movies or something well finding isuku is even easier than he expected but to his surprise he's not alone sitting under a tree is a boy with purple hair wearing jeans and a purple hoodie he's holding a model R and petting it almost aggressively Shadow Ponders for a moment about leaving but then isuku notices him suddenly Shao regrets making him so realistic a robot shouldn't be capable of giving him those kitten eyes shoutos will crumbles faster than his sperm donor's career and he finds himself approaching the two of them the purple-haired boy notices him as isuku turns and meow is he yours the boy asks technically he's uas property Shadow replies with a shrug but I built him built the boy asks confusedly pretty realistic right Shadow says reaching out and running his fingers against the synthetic fur you don't imagine how hard it was to convince my dad to let me use the heat sensors but it was worth it he can enjoy head Pats now the boy looks at the purring bot in his arms before shrugging guess this explains why he was running around the testing area he says was he part of the test probably unfortunately I don't have internal knowledge about the test Shadow replies with a sigh can you tell us Mido sorry isuku replies and to Shadow surprise he's using his actual voice instead of the robotic voice he likes to use in public I'm not allowed to tell you anything Shadow wow he talks to the boy says in Surprise why didn't you say anything to me well you seemed so nervous and in my experience purring is the best medicine for anxiety isuku replies I didn't want to freak you out well you might be a bot the boy says rubbing isuku between the ears the catbot practically melts on his lap but you act like a cat look like a cat or fluffy like a cat and Pur like a cat as far as unconcerned you're a cat good to know we are on the same page shout of adds with a grin so let me show you a trick he reaches towards isuku head Shadow don't you da before he can finish it shaow puts a hand behind his left ear and scratches it oo isu's legs buckle and he's immediately reduced to a purring puddle on the boy's lap this part is like five times as sensitive than the rest of his body Shadow explains with a smile and don't you complain I remember you specifically asking for it and you said you wouldn't use it against me isuku replies still purring can I try purple hair asks Shadow nods and he hesitantly reaches towards isuku head he stops just an inch from his ear I don't mind isuku purs that's all the invitation the boy needs before he starts scratching somehow isuku seems to melt even more for a moment Shadow thinks he'll turn into water from how he relaxed well looks like you have magic hands Shadow says nah I just have a lot of experience with cats the boy replies I'm shinsu Hoshi by the way Nima shaow Shao says Back shinsu Eyes widen in recognition for a moment and his eyes Dart straight to Shadow scar but he quickly averts his eyes back to isaku so you built him you said his name as Mido shinsu asks Shao is very grateful he didn't ask about Endeavor I built the body Shao explains I call it meowo but mid is not my creation you met me earlier isuku adds I approved your bow staff wait that was you shinsu eyes widen yep that was the field body power loader Made For Me isuku explains officially I am uas Security box I've been working there for at least 5 years since nzu made me the madeup story that isuku is an AI made by NSU rolls easily they've been practicing this cover story for so long that they could probably even fool a line Detector by now not that he wanted to test the theory wow you must be the most advanced AI I ever heard of shinsu says I hear this a lot isuku replies and Shao can almost see a smug grin on his face by the way shaow your phone Shadow raises an eyebrow but nods and pulls his phone from his pocket you too Toshi Toshi shinsu asks pulling out his phone too better not to question Shadow replies with a shrug what do you need our phones he glances at the screen and size of course MOS created the chat room now Squad MOS changed his name to chaotic mol chaotic mol changed majima's name to Canadian meow chaotic mol changed shinsu name to Panda me shadow size tiredly and glances at isuku why are you like this you know you love me isuku replies I won't even ask you did that shinsu says but don't I get a choice on that chaotic malol disabled the leaving function chaotic malol nope pandam meow fair enough you are our friend now isuku said and I won't take no for an answer I'm not he if you say I'm not here to make friends or some other like that I'll take it as a challenge isaku warned and I'm not afraid of playing dirty he played Matchmaker with two Heroes by trapping them in the Janitor's Closet Shadow helpfully supplied shinsu glances at them for a few seconds before saigh I guess I could do worse he says as long as you're not Quirk your Quirk is amazing Toshi it's perfect for a hero isuku replies no hesitation at all I won't tell Shadow you can tell him when you're ready but Shadow is an amazing engineer whatever it is I'll be happy to make your support gear Shadow nods it'll be particularly nice if I can work with a mental Quirk mine is quite straightforward I'm sure you know what it is since you clearly recognized my name yeah I do shinsu nods but I won't ask it's not my business as for my Quirk I'm not ready to tell you then don't Shadow shrugs I don't need to know until we actually have to work together be it in class or a support you seem very sure you'll get in shinsu points out I have no idea shaow replies I need to place in the top 10 if I want to get in both the hero course and support I only hope I got enough points to get into the hero class he glances at isuku can't you really tell us anything sorry I don't even know isuku replies I won't be judging the results and I had to leave in the middle of the exam because of a problem at the gates but I'm sure you two did okay the results will come in a week fine I'll just wait shinsu SI I'll be sending you lots of cat memes don't worry isuku sass well I'll be holding you to that shinsu replies with the slightest Quirk of his lips Shadow wasn't expecting to end his entrance exam with a new friend but he certainly isn't complaining he wonders how long it'll take for shinsu to catch on to the truth about isuku he seems quite observant some say that Murphy's Law is that it's just a series of coincidences into a pessimistic philosophy but for Camari Deni on his first day at UA High School it felt like Murphy was orchestrating his life's Grand Symphony maybe it's his fault for going to sleep at 3:00 a.m. but in his defense he was so excited for his first day at UA that he just couldn't go to sleep he tried reading a boring book to see if sleep would come his friend had told him Hamlet was very boring but he was clearly a liar before Deni realized he had already read half of Hamlet then he just needed to read the rest the result was that it was already over 3:00 a.m. but by the time dankey actually went to sleep to make things worse he slept through his alarm which resulted in him having to skip breakfast so that he wouldn't miss his train and he still missed it in the end just to add insult to injury once he finally got to UA he found himself completely lost in the mazike corridors with a frantic Pace cinari darted through the Halls his backpack bouncing against his back his eyes scanned the unfamiliar corridors each turn leading to another Maze of classrooms he had no idea where class Mona was supposed to be but he was sure it wasn't around the Court department seriously why today of all days he muttered under his breath something tells me that my class isn't around here as he checked his clock Deni saw he only had 10 minutes left to get to class or he'd be officially late right on the first day how was he supposed to somehow find his class in 10 minutes the electric Quirk kid found himself leaning on the wall and sliding to the floor in despair that's just great I'm sure the teacher will be completely elated about someone being late right on the first day he grumbled Palms pressed against his eyes in frustration I'm so desperate I'd even ask for help from a cat before he could spiral further Dany heard a meow coming from his side and as he turned around he saw a small cat robot looking at him perfect morning are you feeling in need of some personal assistance the robot said in a robot yet childlike voice dankey blinked in disbelief at the sight of the robot cat before him what the hell was this comic timing um yeah actually Dany replied A tentative smile tugging at the corners of his lips I'm a little lost I'm looking for class 1a and he chance you could point me in the right direction the cat-like robot tilted its head in an exaggeratedly cute manner its mechanical eyes blinking as if processing Den's request ah so you're one of aizawa's new Pur pills not to worry my fur E I know this school like the back of my paw come on let's positively navigate this place together the robot said and turned around thanks to his Newfound metallic companion Deni arrived at his classroom with 5 minutes to spare a relieved sigh escaping his lips as he glanced at the time here we are my fur the robot announced coming to a stop remember if you need any persistence just look for the closest maos to your location I'm required by per tacle to inform you that trying to catnap a meatos is punishable with detention so let's keep those Paws to ourselves shall we noted thanks Dany replied with a chuckle feeling a surge of warmth towards the robotic feli instinctively he began to kneel down his hand reaching out to scratch the cat's head before abruptly halting midair as the realization dawned on him that it was a living creature the cat however simply pressed its head against Den's hand and started purring though maos can resist a good scritch my furin it said that's our personal weakness Deni couldn't help but laugh at the unexpected interaction his apprehension melting away in the presence of this quirky mechanical companion with a final pat on the cat robot's head Deni straightened up and headed into class it was only after the teacher appeared that he realized that he had forgotten completely about his previous nervousness 1 milliion 10,000 1 million 1,11 1, 10,110 27 firste students almost got late for class because they got lost in the corridors isaku said his gaze shifting from the chessboard to meet nsu's eyes with a calculated move he slid his Pawn forward that's a new record dad nsu's grin widened taking on an almost predatory Edge characteristic of the unnervingly intelligent creature he was yet everyone got to class on time he remarked his voice tinged with Amusement his grin was animalistic full of teeth a genuine grin that the principal only ever showed to people he really trusted I'm pretty sure I just saved a kid from getting expelled on the first day isuku added with a chuckle as he severed the connection with the robotic feline watching as it reverted to automatic mode and ambled away Shu Chan really hates it when people are late what is his limit this year he can't expel more than five before the sports Fest Neu replied as he moved his night though just between you and me I believe this year he'll actually have a class probably isaku nodded His image flickering for a moment this class seems to have a lot of potential indeed menzu agreed his gaze flickering between the chess pieces and isaku this year's class shows promise I foresee great things for them provided they can navigate the trials ahead well I can see at least one expulsion coming though isuku replied his face contorting into a frown he didn't even have to elaborate on who he was talking about just another case of people forcing nsu's hand if the midgets parents weren't part of the school board he would have never gotten in however as always getting and was the most that someone could get with external help inside UA nzu had complete free Reign Over what he did to the students within reason of course but NSU while NSU was a lot of things unreasonable definitely wasn't one of them he knew exactly how far he could stretch any and all lines but he never crossed them well it's almost time for orientation nzu said as he moved his Bishop Sheck mate isaku studied the chessboard for a moment mentally dissecting each move and identifying his errors wellplayed dad he said with a smile relishing the challenge their games always provided thank you my boy they improving with each game NSU returned the smile his demeanor shifting back to its usual cheerful facade the tally stands at 2004 to 40 this month isuku said with a chuckle I'm nowhere near your level last month you only won 30 Games nzu pointed out you're steadily improving isuku waved his hand and the holographic board flickered and disappeared I suppose he Shrugged still you're too good at this game nedu chuckled softly his eyes GLE in with Amusement practice makes perfect isuku you'll get there soon enough isuku smiled and got up from the couch stretching his arms so are you planning another 3-hour speech for orientation but of course menzu chirped are you coming thanks but no thanks isuku shook his head you know I can't sit still for that long besides you never really say anything important at the orientation I'm surprised barely anyone realizes you're just messing with them most people fall asleep after 20 minutes nedu laughed but it's fun to see them trying to stay awake of course the important part is what I say at precisely 1 hour and 53 minutes at isu's raised eyebrow nzu leaned Inc conspiratorially his voice dropping to a whisper that's when I reveal vending machines have the best snacks isaku laughed and shook his head of course he finished his cup of tea then dropped the cup which disappeared a second later I'll go watch Shu Chan's class but don't forget to introduce me of course I won't forget NSU assured him with a mischievous twinkle in his eye and you don't forget to tell me if shaa noticed is you hiding I'll get him one day watch me isaku said as he walked to the door which opened on its own just as he went through it his image flickered and disappeared a second later the projectors in the office shut down leaving nzu alone with his thoughts and plans for the upcoming school year isuku quickly connected to AOS that was on standby near the gym where shaa always did his Quirk assessment test on the first day he made sure to hide on a tree branch where he would get a good view of the whole thing it only took 2 minutes for shaa to arrive the first student to come out of the lock room was shaow followed closely by hitoshi about 5 minutes later as the class trickled in isuku prepared to record everything so he could review calmly later this would be great and not even all watching from behind a wall like some creep would change that isaku was ready to make all the sprinklers blow up in his face if the idiot did anything 1, 10,000 1, 1,11 1, 10,110 maybe it was cheating but Shadow already knew what Uncle Shadow was going to do today The Quirk assessment test or qat for short is already a tradition at this point even Vlad did one with his class though he usually waited for the second day since he insisted on attending orientation with his class anyway since he already knew what was going to happen Shadow decided to get a head start as the rest of the class trickled into the gym Shadow started with his warm-ups hitoshi raised an eyebrow as he watched him but decided to follow his lead soon almost everyone was copying him everyone but the purple who was more interested in learing on the girls than actually warming up Shadow made sure to glance at Uncle shaa just to be sure he was seeing that as glare said everything Shao needed to know someone was already on the top of Uncle Sha's expulsion list not that shadow would mind if someone was idiot enough to underestimate heroics like that being expelled was more of a mercy than anything else shaow was more than aware of how many Heroes die every month because they weren't prepared for the job even worse were the ones who used their power to do all kinds of horrible things while going unpunished maima Shadow's attention was snapped as he heard his name being called oops he missed a good part of Uncle Sha's explanation at least he already knew what he'd have to do you scored first place in the entrance exam how far could you throw during Middle School I was homeschooled Shadow replied with a shrug right Uncle replied pinching the bridge of his nose before he threw the ball at Shadow just throw it using your Quirk you know the drill everything goes as long as you don't leave the circle Shadow nodded and grabbed the ball for a moment he considered being a little and just throwing it without using his Quirk but it would be better if he didn't incur uncle shad's Fury just yet he felt pretty safe about his position in the class but that didn't mean he should push his luck as he stepped into the circle Shadow considered the best way to throw the ball after considering it for a second he decided to show off a little he extended his arms the right one with an open palm and the left one closed touching both together then he focused his Quirk inside his hand and willed the ice to take the form he wanted it to it was kind of hard to control like that he didn't have much practice it would be probably a good idea to make some support gear to help him with that later he already had a few ideas for it damn it he was getting distracted again he could think about support gear later for now he had a ball to thr ice trebuchet he said pointing his hands at the floor near him the ice quickly took the form Shadow willed becoming a perfect match to a medieval trebuchet made solely of ice the hardest part was to make the ropes flexible and yet sturdy despite being made of ice thankfully Shadow learned some time ago that he had far more control over ice than he used to think Shadow simply grinned not going into DET Tale on how he made his trebuchet launch the ball so far instead he simply activated his left side and melted the contraption before giving Uncle shaa a nod and walking back to the rest of the class know your own limits first uncle shaa said as Shao walked this is your starting line and from there you'll know what you need to work on improving wow that was amazing a blonde kid with a black patch on his head said we can use our quirks at will this will be so much fun the girl with pink skin added as expected from the hero course we get to do things using our quirks Shao didn't even bother trying to see who said that Shao instantly grimaced at their words these people just put the game on hard mode for the whole class if there was one word that Uncle shaa hated to have associated with heroics this word was fun that was a taboo that everyone who knew Uncle sha respected and that the class was about to learn the hard way why this will be fun you say uncle shaa said a scary grin on his face aren't you going to take this serious at all you'll have only 3 years to become a hero with an attitude like that it will be impossible he turned to the class with one of the scariest glares Shao ever saw in his life so lets up the stakes you'll all compete in those eight tests at the end of the tests whoever places last will be judged without potential for heroics and expelled on the spot the class erupted into a cacophony of protests and objections some argued that it was unfair to judge their entire potential based on a single test While others voiced their disbelief at the severity of the consequence Uncle Sha's expression remained stoic amidst the Uproar his gay is cutting through the noise like a blade he waited patiently for the commotion to subside before speaking again life isn't fair and neither is the path to becoming a hero he declared his voice firm and unwavering natural disasters big accidents and selfish villains do you think villains will give you a fair chance when you're out in the field do you think they'll wait for you to get your act together no they'll exploit any weakness they find and they won't hesitate to exploit it to their advantage this world is cruel and unfair if you really want to become Heroes you better leave the those delusions behind if you want to stay then prove to me that you deserve to be here plus Ultra in all that his words hung heavy in the air silencing the protests as the gravity of the situation settled upon the class it was a harsh reality check but one that was necessary in the unforgiving world they aspired to enter Shadow was sure not all of them needed to hear that but many students still thought heroics was the Glamorous World they saw on TV UA would make sure they knew the harsh truth the first test will be the 50 m Dash come when I call your name uncle shouta said Shadow stood under a tree as he waited for his turn as he stood there he caught a small movement above him and as he looked up he saw a pair of green eyes staring back at him of course you're here Shadow muttered with a smile on his face are you recording this of course who do you think I am isaku replied from the branch he was perched on his eyes trained on both bakuguo and Hoshi you know tall blonde and angry is very familiar for some reason I feel like I should remember who he is maybe someone you met before you know Shadow replied with a drug H it could be I haven't thought about my previous life for a long time maybe it's time I go through my memories again isuku mused thoughtfully though I don't particularly enjoy it it always feels like I'm poking my brain with a stick I get what you mean Shao nodded with how isuku brain worked he could easily open and watch any and all of his memories at any moment this also made it very easy to lock away bad and traumatic memories Shadow knew he had done it several times before having basically lived in the internet for years shaow was sure is a ISU had seen his fair share of traumatic things would you like me to be there with you Shao asked softly no isuku shook his head firmly two personal I don't allow even dad to poke around my head like that shadow nodded already expecting the answer isaku was very reserved about who got to see his source code not because he didn't trust them but because it felt like something very intimate Shadow had only seen it once nzu probably saw it Thrice at most Dan saw it a few times but mostly because he had helped isuku upgrade his system to better integrate with uas security the fact remained viewing isuku source code was the ultimate display of trust Shadow felt honored that isuku had entrusted him with that Glimpse and he wouldn't push for more okay Shadow nodded if you ever change your mind I'll be always here for you isaku Shadow heard a shuffling sound from above and as he looked up the cat robot dropped into his arms thank you Shadow isuku said from above before gracefully jumping down maima you're next Shadow herd prompting him to walk away to take the test meanwhile isaku patted toward Uncle shaa unceremoniously jumping on his shoulder and snuggling into his scarf despite Uncle Sha's intimidating glares they seemed to lose their effectiveness when he had a cute cat cuddling him shadow wasn't worried about placing last in the test but that didn't mean he wouldn't be trying his best just like everyone else in the class Shadow wanted to prove he deserved to be here besides he never said he wasn't competitive the tests were relatively easy except for the seated toe touch and the sign steps where his Quirk did not help him at all all Shadow scored pretty well at all tests by the end of all tests Shadow sat comfortably in second place behind yayum Momo who had possibly the most versatile Quirk Shadow has ever seen in his whole life after Uncle shouter revealed his logical Rose he sent everyone back to the class to grab their syllabuses and then go home but just as they were leaving for the locker room he called them back right one more thing uncle shouta said pointing at the meos on his shoulder you'll see several of those catbots around you a those are meow they are part of the school security and are here to assist you with any issues you may have you aren't allowed to take them home if I ever catch someone trying to kidnap them you'll have a month of detention understood Uncle shaa Stern gaze swept across the class ensuring that his message was received loud and clear Shadow heard more than a few gulps as everyone nodded quickly and consent however shaow saw a glint in hoshi's eyes that showed that the purple-haired boy might end up paying to see satisfied with their response Uncle shaa nodded dismissing them for the day he'll probably be formally introducing Mido to the class tomorrow Sho was sure tomorrow would be a very interesting day it's funny how you never truly understand the value of something or someone until it's gone those who experience loss and grief know this better than anyone katsuki would know that better than anyone he had everything a great family a loving Auntie an amazing best friend with whom he used to dream about becoming Heroes together and a perfect Quirk then isuku Quirk took too long to develop and after testing it they found out it would be a mental Quirk at the time katsuki felt betrayed he felt angry how could they become the heroes they promised if isuku had some weak mental Quirk then isuku became deu and he pushed deu away accidentally becoming the reason why everyone started bullying him Deku never stopped trying to be katsuki's friend katsuki hated Deku with all his might he hated howu kept talking about being a hero he hated how kind deu was he hated how Deku would always look down on him acting like he could help katsuki with anything he hated deu or at least he thought he did then the accident happened atie and Co and Deku isuku midoria isuku got caught in a villain attack and both died katsuki is ashamed to admit but at first he was glad that he wouldn't have to deal with shitty deu looking down on him anymore then he started analyzing their previous interactions yeah isuku Deku wasn't the only one who could analyze things and suddenly everything started clicking in place deu isuku never looked down on him sometime later as he was looking up Heroes for a school assignment he found out that there were many Heroes with mental quirks as well sir nigh ey manday ragd doll and principal nzu to name a few so the whole reason why katsuki had turned against his friend was even dumber than he imagined isuku deu could have ended up with an even more powerful mental Quirk if only katsuki hadn't been so shortsighted isuku and katsuki could have been Heroes together as they promised isuku never betrayed katsuki however katsuki betrayed isuku hindsight was indeed 20 over 20 after that regret a feeling katsuki wasn't used to caught on him like a Texas is smashed straight from all might's fist the night he came to that realization was the night that katsuki confessed everything he did to his parents a week later he started therapy he transferred away from the toxic environment that was aldra though interestingly enough the school was investigated and shut down less than a month later the years went by and katsuki mellowed down a lot he was still an abrasive after all he was his mother's son but the blonde had changed a lot from the immature and arrogant kid he was it felt Hollow though it was too little too late while was the point in changing when isuku wasn't here to see it life moved on but katsuki never really did he often found himself coming back to the memories of when he and isaku were still friends it was impossible for him not to get caught up in the wh ifs the Mind had a funny way of dealing with grief it played tricks dredging up memories long buried and weaving them into vivid dreams that felt achingly real for katsuki these dreams often took him back to a time he tried hard to forget often katsuki found himself back in this place a familiar playground the swings swing gently in the breeze a normal place katsuki would regularly hang out with his those idiots were never his friends but at the time he thought they were at this point the scene had become so ingrained in katsuki's mind that he didn't need to consciously think about it his feet instinctively carried him to the swings and he settled onto one of them though he knew what or rather who would be beside him he glanced up anyway there he was Forever Frozen in memory isuku midorya eternally 9 years old katsuki could hardly imagine how isuku might have looked if he had been given the chance to grow up maybe that's why he never saw an older isuku in those dreams in this dream isuku looked exactly as he did the last time katsuki saw him alive his skin bore a slight tan his cheeks adorned with freckles forming a diamond pattern his eyes a brilliant emerald green were pools of Wonder and innocence and that smile the same radiant smile that could probably outshine the sun itself it was all a dream nothing of this was true katsuki knew but he still found himself getting up from the swing and positioning himself behind isuku to push him in the swing the fake sound of isuku Giggles still warmed katsuki's heart kacken TI fake isuku laughter echoed in katsuki's ears and who was he to deny his friend Joy he had rejected isuku once but he vowed never to repeat that mistake even if it was only a phantom conjured by his grief stricken mind katsuki obliged the fake isuku pushing the swing higher with a steady Rhythm the fake laughter that bubbled forth from isuku was infectious even in the realm of dreams for a fleeting moment katsuki allowed himself to believe that everything was as it once was that he and isuku were Carefree kids on the brink of greatness as the swing soared through the air katsuki's mind wandered back to the memories he had fought to surpress kaken will be the best heroes isu's voice echoed in katsuki's ears you'll just be in useless Deco you're no better than a quirkless katsuki's own cruel words echoed back the swing started slowing down as katsuki stopped pushing it kaken do you remember when we talked about being Heroes fake isuku voice held a nostalgic tone tugging at katsuki's emotions katsuki paused his expression softening as he gazed at his fake friend yeah I remember he replied quietly we were going to be the best heroes right fake isuku eyes sparkled with hope yeah we were katsuki murmured looking down as he couldn't bring himself to face such an expression on isuku face silence hung heavy in the air as the swing slowly came to a stop only when the swing stilled completely fake isuku voice broke the silence I'm sorry he said softly and katsuki could feel his hands tightening at the chains of the swing at those words I wanted a to become Heroes together I'm sorry my Quirk took so long to come I'm sorry I died and left you alone those words caused much more pain than any word of anger or hatred could ever hope to cause in katsuki's heart because even this ghost of isuku created by katsuki's grief stricken mind was too nice to get angry at katsuki instead he was here apologizing for something that wasn't his fault something katsuki knew that the real isuku would probably do as well katsuki's throat constricted overwhelmed by regret and sorrow he swallowed hard grappling with with emotions he had long suppressed pH apologized to me damn it katsuki finally choked out his voice tinged with frustration and remorse it was never your fault you damn nerd I'm the one who should be apologizing I'm the one who betrayed I abandoned I'm sorry I don't hate you the fake izuku's expression softened a reflection of forgiveness and understanding he remained Seated on the swing watching katsuki with an unwavering gaze I know you don't hate me the imaginary isuku said gently and I'm sure the real isuku would forgive you too katsuki's resolve hardened his features set with determination I'll accept that forgiveness once I become the hero he knew I could be he replied firmly I'll make you proud of me a warm smile tugged at the corners of the fabricated isuku lips I'm already proud he assured katsuki somehow even though this wasn't the real isuku those words brought katsuki immense relief the dream slowly began to dissolve as katsuki regained Consciousness he opened his eyes to the familiar view of his room though his vision was slightly blurred and his pillow suspicous iously damp taking a deep breath katsuki wiped away the lingering tears it was early the sun barely Rising he rose from his bed his eyes drawn to the altar in the corner of his room a picture of isuku stood there accompanied by an all might action figure retrieved from izuku's room after the funeral the rest of isuku hero merchandise had been donated katsuki walked over to the Altar and knelt before it joining his hands in a prayer gesture hey deu katsuki said awkwardly as he looked at the image it had been a long time since he last tried talking to uku usually he would simply nod at the picture before leaving it's been a while huh I'm sorry for being too much of a coward to talk to you before he chuckled awkwardly last time I talked to you was before that sludge villain attacked me he could almost feel the disgusting liquid being pushed down his throat the vivid memory of almost suffocating to death while those so-called Heroes stood by and did nothing the desperation because he didn't want to die I thought I was going to die katsuki confessed quietly allowing himself this rare moment of vulnerability was that how you felt the hag said you barely had the time to see what happened so I hope not I hope it was quick he took a deep breath all might saved me I tried to talk to him afterward I wanted to ask him if if he thought you could have done it he looked down inside but he disappeared right after he saved me I could swear I saw steam coming from his body though I wonder what was that maybe something to do with his Quirk he's always so secretive about it that I really doubt it's a simple strength augmentation Quirk as many theorize maybe it has something to do with katsuki paused a rice smile tugging at his lips as he realized he had started rambling and mumbling much like isuku used to do the absurdity of the situation wasn't lost on him and he couldn't help but chuckle softly you really rubbed off on me you damn nerd katsuki murmured shaking his head in Amusement now I'm even starting to mumble like you used to his laughter bubbled up again a rare sound that echoed softly in the quiet room what's next freckles please no I would look ridiculous with freckles he sighed the levity fading as he continued speaking to the photograph of isuku his expression softening anyway these last 10 months have been so hectic I've been training like crazy I never want to feel helpless like that again I even did community service you know something Heroes would do right this is something you would say katsuki paused his gaze fixed on the image of his childhood friend his voice filled with a mixture of determination and regret I'm trying deu he murmured I'm trying to be the hero you believed I could be but it's tough without you it feels Hollow he sighed a heavy weight settling in his chest I'm not giving up that though I managed to get into UA I placed first in the entrance exam I in class one and now you'd have a field day analyzing all those quirks around I could certainly do without the personification of an overe excited puppy following me around and trying to be my friend shitty hair is almost as annoying as you were he felt a Pang in his chest as he admitted that you'd say I should give him a chance wouldn't you katsuki's voice softened as he spoke the ache of loss mingling with the image of kirishima grinning at him and calling him manly whatever that meant he remained kneeling by the altar a silent moment passing between him and the photograph of his friend before katsuki Rose to his feet with a final glance at the altar katsuki straightened his posture and nodded to the photo he had made a promise to himself and to isaku a promise that echoed in the Silence of his room I'll be the hero you believed in katsuki whispered to the empty room the words carrying a solemn resolve so wherever you are watch me isuku with Newfound resolve katsuki turned around and went to get dressed for the day the weight of grief still lingered but within him stirred a renew determination to strive for the greatness isuku had always believed he could achieve Once Upon a Time bakugo katsuki had sought to be the number one hero for himself alone driven by an unyielding desire to be the best now that ambition remained unchanged but it was fueled by a profound commitment to be the best not only for himself but for isuku too stretching up to get rid of any lingering drowsiness katsuki prepared to start his day he had to pull a lot of work to become a hero isuku would be proud of and it all started with an early morning run
