Dead Hero's Heart

Chapter 12

"WHAT!?" screamed everyone inside the room, making the principal kind of happy that he had thought of blocking his ears before talking. Aizawa looked at him angrily, not believing what he was actually implying. He was telling them that the problem child was going to help them, that he was still in this world and to him misfortune, this wasn't the first time he had heard of it either. He shot a glare at All Might who started to shake his head immediately, signalising to the hero that he didn't have anything to do with it.

"That's insane Nezu. You know as well as all of us here do that the Midoriya died. Hell we were even together there, you saw it with your own two eyes. What proof you might have in your hands that make you believe that he could help us!?". Everyone turned their attention to the creature who was sitting calmly in his chair, seemingly not a bit upset by the intense stares targeted to him.

"Well Mr Aizawa, if you really want to know the proof then I will be more than happy to show them to all of you". Saying that, he took out the screen that he previously had used and pressed a few buttons in it. Soon, a new display came to life, showcasing some kind of ratings on it. The teachers leaned slowly closer, squeezing with each other and trying to all see at what it was getting showcased.

"These are the ratings from the last hero exercise class 1-A had. Because, however, it was cut out short the results were never requested from me to be given back. As you already know, in this exercise we had one strange thing happen and it was Eraserhead's showcasing power far beyond his capabilities, which actually looked very similar to the dead boy's. But this is not all. You see, while inspecting the leaderboard, I came upon this".

Suddenly, the picture started to move, passing through the many students of the class and the points they had gathered until it stopped in one in particular spot. The machine showed a person whose, as it said, ID wasn't able to get read and along, their points were shown. "An unknown person? That's impossible" said Cementos while looking at the screen.
"There is no way someone managed to sneak through all of our security measures and take place into a class exercise with ought getting noticed" inquired Midnight.

Nezu nodded at their statements as he put the screen down. "It is as you say impossible for someone to go through our security system without getting recognized, but for a ghost something like that would be kids play. Especially for a student of our school". "So you are trying to tell us that Midoriya is a ghost who from all things he could do decided to take part in an exercise!? Do you really believe in yourself? For all we know it might had been a technical erron and these robots would have been from some of the students whose ID's the sensors weren't able to catch on quickly enough before they got destroyed!" snapped Aizawa back.

"But I had already told you before Eraserhead. I had felt him. This was his power, I know it. I am sure it is him, there no one out there like him and you know it". The teacher started losing control after hearing about the same thing again from the same person. He has had enough. "So these are your proof? A rating that could very well by a mistake made by the robots and All Might's claims that he felt his power. That's all? Then I will have to ask you to excuse me but I am refusing to believe in something like that. I am not going to put all my faith in an assumption that is so illogical that is bound to back fire. So if you would excuse me... ".

He walked off and left the room, soon followed by all the other teachers who were wearing disappointed expressions on their faces, leaving alone the principal with the retired hero. Nezu sighed as he saw the door close behind them and turned to look at the ground. "I knew that it was going to be difficult to make them believe to what I was saying, but I never expected this to happen" he muttered out loud enough for the other person to hear him.

"And what are we going yo do now? If I had to guess, there isn't another way to get through that mess, am I right?". The creature nodded and took slowly a sip from his cup of tea. He found it as the only way to keep himself together. "I am afraid that we will have to move on with that operation on our own. It sure will be more difficult than if we were all together to this, but it's the only way". All Might nodded and turned to look out of the window to see the sun had started to set. Realising how much time they had passed inside this room and talking he stood up and started getting ready to leave.
