Angles Curse

Chapter 25

As soon as I got back to the lab I went straight to work on the tracking devices for the hero course students. I of course filled Power Loader in on what the rat wanted me to do, making sure none of the other students heard. I'm sure Nezu doesn't want the whole hero student body knowing he's tracking them via costumes. Power Loader even said he'd make sure to clear the lab for me completely after school to ensure I could get trackers into the class 1-B costumes. I'm sure a few students will be a little upset they can't stay after school today, but they'll get over it.

Enough said though, I quickly got to work and making mini tracking devices I could slip into the seams of their outfits, small and unnoticeable. Of course, I made sure each worked and that they all connected to the same two devices. One for Nezu and one for me. But the rat doesn't need to know that. Even if I'm not a part of the hero course or know all the students personally, I find it only fair that I have a copy of the tracking device as well. After all, something could happen to Nezu or communication could get cut off from him. It's only logical to have a backup in case of emergencies and for me to have that copy. 

Lost in my work, I almost missed when the bell rang, signaling the end of the day. Looking up from my work for the first time since I've gotten back, I noticed the rest of my fellow classmates managed to finish all the costume upgrades they took on. Perfect, I can stick the tracking devices into those as soon as everyone is gone. Glancing around the room, I watched as everyone slowly packed up and made their way out of the lab. A few tried to hang back, obviously wanted to work on some personal items before being shooed out by Power Loader.

"That's the last of them. I estimate you have roughly five to ten minutes before a hero course student shows up. Eraser informed me his and Vlad Kings joint training session would run a little past the bell." Power Loader informed me, locking up his personal lab and doing a quick sweep to ensure nothing would blow up overnight.

"Thank you for the heads up sir. I'll see you around." I said, sending the man a small smile as he walked to the exit.

"Of course. Try to not push yourself over break. Though knowing you, I'll probably see you here every day. Anyways, enjoy your break if I don't see you around, Midoriya." With that farewell, Power Loader left the lab, sliding the heavy door closed behind him. I made sure to shout one last goodbye before the door closed fully before getting back to work. 

I needed to make three more trackers before quickly implanting them into the costumes laying around the room. I needed to at least get class 1-A's done before anyone showed up, seeing as Aizawa was going to be coming to collect them soon enough.

Quickly adding the finishing touches and making sure all 40 small tracking devices worked, I stood up and turned to the pile of costumes behind me. I started with the simple ones first, the ones mainly made of alloy fibers, like Ojiro's or Shoji's, as they would be the easiest to slip the devices between the seams and stitching. Others like Ida's were pretty tricky to do, seeing as most of it was made of metal and steel, not to mention he's one of the smarter ones and might notice if something looks out of place. 

"Try the small pocket of fabric between the hip and thigh." A voice suddenly said from behind me, startling me and making me jump. Quickly whipping around, I spot Eraser Head crouching behind me staring over my shoulder at the device and costume in my hands.

"Mr. A-Aizawa!" I stuttered out, leaning slightly away from the man. He just stared back, completely unimpressed with me.

"Relax kid, it's just me. Nezu has already informed me of everything you're doing. I drawled out my last class to give you more time." Eraser explained, pushing himself back up to his feet, his joints letting out pops and groans as he did so.
