A New Calling (Support Deku Fanfic)

Chapter 16

Izuku was amazed by Mei's pitch of her 'Electromagnetic Soles'. One thing he knew for sure afterwards was she had a way with selling a product. Not only was she convincing but she answered all the questions directed her way. Izuku wasn't sure how well he would have done if Uraraka had been like Lunch Rush was being, constantly asking for explanations and making sure Mei kept on her toes.

"You're a natural Mei-chan," Izuku complimented as the two made they're way to the cafeteria. "You talked so confidently. I wish I had that talent."

"You have other talents, Izu-kun!" Mei said as they rounded a corner.

"Midoriya, Hatsume," the two turned after hearing their names being called. Aizawa stood in the doorway to the staff room holding a stack of papers. "I'm glad I caught you. Here."

Izuku and Mei took a paper each and looked down to see a permission form to leave school grounds. Izuku looked up confused.

"Where are we going?" he asked.

"You're coming with 1-A on a training day at the USJ. We were hoping you two could help by playing the role of citizens during some of the scenarios and also helping Uraraka train with her new gear." Aizawa answered.

"The USJ!?!" Izuku said excitedly.

"Yes, that's what I said," Aizawa answered. Izuku looked down and began to read the form, seeing that half day had been crossed out and replaced with full day.

"We'll be there all day?" he asked, looking up at the hero.

"Originally it was only a half day, but there was a last minute shift in the schedule. Make sure you bring back those forms tomorrow morning. We'll be leaving first thing on one of the school's buses." Aizawa said before dismissing them.

Izuku looked over at Mei excitedly to see she shared the same look. The two quickly picked up food from Lunch Rush and made their way back to class, Izuku taking the time to wave to the students of 1-A before leaving. He felt bad that he had yet to eat lunch with them, but before he was too busy working on the 'Director Jets' and today he had a math project that needed finishing.

"Do you think they'll let us bring some of our babies tomorrow?" Mei asked as they sat down.

"Hmm," Izuku hummed as he looked up at the ceiling. "It wouldn't hurt to ask... I have a few gadgets that could help in rescue scenarios, but they probably have their own equipment at the USJ."

"That they do," their teacher said as he entered the room, carrying in his lunch tray. Izuku smiled as he sat down and looked at the two. "But I will get you both permission to bring two things with you on the trip, as long as they're ones that have been completely tested and have no issues."

"Oh! Oh! I got to pick which ones to bring!" Mei beamed as she went to the back of the class. She opened her locker and began sorting through all of her completed works. Izuku shook his head and brought out his math project.

"Sir? Can I ask you a question?" Izuku said as he looked up. Mr. Hiagari nodded and he continued. "How did the press break the gate?"

The question had been bugging him since the incident occured yesterday. People who work in the press aren't always the brightest, but they couldn't be so dumb as to use their quirk without permission in a public space. Especially on a hero school.

The fact that the attack was on U.A. was also concerning. There were lots of people, villains specifically, who had reason to attack U.A. But if it was a villain who helped the press break the gate, what did they want?

The look on Mr. Higari's face made Izuku feel his suspicion just might be right.

"Midoriya," Mr. Higari said seriously. "You know I can't tell you the details of an ongoing investigation." Izuku lowered his head slightly.
