"You called me here?" I ask, standing before the table and shifting on my feet.

"Don't worry too much! A few teachers just have some questions!" Midnight says.  I nod, though, from her expression vs other expressions on the faces of the others here, something tells me she isn't on the same frame of information as them.

I look everywhere but where the teachers are, ranging from the walls to the windows, to even look just above them.

"Demitrous Mangopaw Huntre, are you The Kitsune."

I  freeze. Hard ice arctic freeze. I just don't move. I'm pretty sure I'm not blinking, just staring ahead with my expression unchanging.

"Huntre?"

I  snap out of it and take in a breath when I realized I hadn't been breathing. "Um.. why-what gave you that idea?" I say, completely looking at the walls now, away from the teachers. "Your mask." Aizawa's voice speaks up.

I watch as the support class teacher pulls out a case and opens it. It's my costume case, and tucked underneath the hoodie is my mask. My eyes linger on it before I sharply turn in All Might's direction. I guess he's been watching for my reaction the entire time because the moment I turn I make eye contact.

I'm squinting at him, and I'm sure he knows what I'm trying to ask with my gaze.

"So,  you're the Kitsune, there is no denying this now." Principal Nezu speaks up. I look back towards the walls and nod slowly. "Okay, now we  have a bigger question."

What could they be asking now? I'm pretty sure that's the only big thing I was hiding. Well. The only big thing that can be brought up and attached to me that I was hiding.

"What are you." and with those words, the environment that seemed a bit awkward has completely turned threatening. The rooms practically darkened with the gathered aura. I'm being seen as a possible threat,  and I can see it clearly from the way the auras mix together and became spiked on the edges.

I don't move, sure that they're monitoring my every move now.

"What do you mean? I'm a student? I'm a hero in training?" I say, trying my best to seem sincere in my confusion. "You know what we're asking  Huntre," Is all one of the teachers say before a television rises from the middle area.

I watch with wide eyes as it splits to show two things. On one side, it's me aging up so that I'd have the power to heal Aizawa. On the other side it's the incident in the hallway with  Todoroki, where I may not have been able to see it but the moment my anger flared, black flared through my eyes.

I took a cautious step back. "That's just parts of my quirk."

"The age this is only temporary, seconds at best, I can do it right now,  y'know. It's just me messing with a bit of code! And the black stuff is from, well, my drawback. Dead quirk cells." I say, attempting to use the explanation I had made with Kamui Woods during the internship.

When no one responds, I take that as I prompt to show them. Tapping into my power quickly I watch as my body shifts into an older age. I look up at them and do a little twirl. "See, just my quir-" I don't get to finish my sentence when my body forces itself back into the smaller form and I  cough up black liquids.

Clearing my throat and rubbing at my mouth this the sleeve of my uniform, I look back up. "See, quirk," I say simply. They're still silent and I watch as one of them raises a remote and presses a button on it. Suddenly the camera's different. It's a  camera on the street.

I watch with squinted eyes, unsure as to what I'm supposed to be looking at when I suddenly see the bright flash of light of me falling out of a portal. I watch as the past me stumbles a  bit before getting up and walking around the city.

I sink back in on myself when I realize what that looks like. A random kid appearing from a portal on the streets when the only known portal user that immediately comes to mind is a part of the LOV, and the kid has no information to their name and nothing legal either.

A kid who runs around as a vigilante, and suddenly enlisted in UA when they'd only appeared onto the streets for a few weeks.

Deciding  I'm in deep shit, I begin to sulk backwards without turning. Looking frantically at the eyes of the teachers, I realize from the way they're shifting that they're getting ready to stand. Realizing that they've probably noticed me slowly moving towards the door, I turn and make a  run for it.

Bolting for the door, I slide it open with a bang and run. I have no idea if they're behind me, though from the hurried sounds of running I can only guess they are. I glance behind me just in time to see Aizawa launching his scarf forwards and duck quickly, and swerve to side a bit to make sure it doesn't catch me on the way back to him.

I know what you might be thinking. Why'd I run? Well it's simple. Even though I'm not a part of the LOV, I'm still very much a high threat. I won't even lie or play it down, I'm one of the most threatening things in this universe, somewhere near All Might, All For One, Nomus, and some other stuff.

I'm also, very much not human. Yeah my ears are super long and I can rotate them, but that may be the only appearance difference (if you ignore my tail that is) but I literally have no inner organs.

No muscles, no stomach, none of that stuff. Just rubbery bones, straight soul power, skin, and liquid eyeballs.

I'm a shade after all, not a human.

And that's a very dangerous thing.

And an even more dangerous thing when outed, or cornered.
