Ayanokouji: Free Life

Chapter 2: Free Room and Board

Deku's POV

I shout frantically at this stranger to get out of the way, but he seems to not even acknowledge my presence.

Me: Hey get away from him now!!!

I was about to throw rocks at it when I saw this guy's arm transform into some sort of large sledgehammer and batter on the sludge villain!!! What is that? And why is it black? The sludge was reforming again but every time it felt like it was getting its boundaries set, it got pummeled again by the stranger's black right arm. His right arm then changed into a large katana?!!! He started to slash apart the sludge villain into multiple pieces until it became too weak to continue. 

What was more terrifying than what I just saw was his eyes: nonchalant, simply not caring for a speck of dust as he casually hacked this sludge monster repeatedly. What kind of quirk is that?

After some time, the sludge monster can be seen as simple puddles on a sidewalk. The stranger just sighed and proceeded to walk away. Kacchan ran away as I then went to thank the stranger who saved my friend's life by bowing vigorously to him and he just nodded.

Me: Thank you, my name is Izuku Midoriya, hey you look around my age, right?.

He just nodded and was about to walk away until someone came flying in.

Me: ALLMIGHT!!!!!

Ayanokouji POV

After dealing with that disgusting monster, I decided to hightail out of here considering the laws of not using your quirks without an authorization or a hero pass. However, I was stopped by this hero who came in a little too late.

All Might: I AM HERE, ALL MIGHT. Thank you, young lad for a tremendous help against this villain. However, please don't try to do something that dangerous again, that is why we have heroes? Maybe you should join this school I'm currently working for, U.A.?

Me: Yeah, sure, if I have time.

After a talk between the green hair kid and All Might, he is about to fly off when this green hair kid grabs him and goes with him.

Midoriya: Hey, I'll be right back can you just stay here for a bit?

I just acknowledged his comment. This was a very weird sight for me, and, looking back, maybe I should have just left after this, but I decided to stay back and see what will happen just for some kicks. Heck, maybe I can get something out of this too. I read that Japanese people have good hospitality so maybe I can crash at his house or something like that.

*Timeskip of a few minutes*

I see Midoriya come back, and he seemed happier then when I saw him leave. I guess something good happened.

Midoriya: Thanks for waiting, it took longer than I thought. I never got to ask this before but what was your name?

Me: It's Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

Midoriya: Ok, cool. Again, thanks for everything. Um, are you a middle schooler, because I never saw u at our school?

Me: I've been on my own so no, not exactly, but looking at what school you're from, I'm the same age as you so I guess I could try high school.

Midoriya: Great, that's good to know. If there is anything you need, just ask, since I kind of owe you now.

Huh, I guess I was right on the hospitality.

Me: Maybe a place to stay for a while until I can get back on my feet again would do the trick.

Midoriya: I guess I would have to ask my mom but sure, come on, I'll show you my house.

Me: ok

I decided to join Midoriya to his house since I needed somewhere to sleep. It was already night. When we got there, Midoriya's mother was there and was shocked to see me, I guess this kid doesn't have a lot of friends over.

Midoriya: Hey mom, I'm sorry for the late notice, but I owe my friend Ayanokouji here for something and he said he needed a place to stay so... please?

She seemed a bit worried but then agreed to have me stay here for the night which was a nice gesture. Midoriya said I can sleep on the couch which was more than enough for me. Before we went to sleep, he asked me a bunch of questions about my quirk and about my family. I fabricated a story about my parents dying and how I was homeless. This was in order to feel sympathetic which worked well. I'll just stay here for a day and make some money and find a place nearby I guess, so not too hard. If I'm going to fit in society, and if I don't want to get caught, I'm going to have to join a program that is on the same magnitude as the White Room or at least has the same authority.

Midoriya said he wants to join this top hero school called U.A. which doesn't sound like a bad idea for myself. I mean, I don't know how Midoriya is getting in the school but from what I see on his face right now, I think he is the type of person that will train like hell for these 2 months which is fine and all, I guess. I think my goal for now is to mooch off here until I can get accepted to U.A. and then stay in its dorms, seems to be the best course of action. I guess, I can just deal with it when it comes down to it later.

*Next Day*

I woke up at around 4 to start my morning exercises that consist of 100 pushups, 100 sit-ups, and a 1km run, so nothing that tiring-indusive. When I came back, I saw Midoriya leaving the house with a bag and proceeded to ask where he was going.

Me: Hey Midoriya, what's up.

Midoriya: Hey Ayanokouji, I thought you left since it was so early, I'm going for....um.... a workout!!

Me: Cool, you mind if I tag along, I don't really have anything to do right now.

Midoriya: Um.... sure, I guess, Let's go.
