Mystery from Another World--MHA

Part 59: Parents

The rest of Camie's visit to UA had passed uneventfully, and Bakugo was secretly a little baffled by how little she'd bothered him still. Mina said Camie was cool, and she hoped she visited more often-- Mina really just wanted someone to ship with.

Jiro didn't like Camie nearly as much, as Camie had asked her if she had a bf. (Camie's idea of keeping the whole crush-thing to herself was simply to just not accuse Jiro directly of liking someone. Asking was fair game.)

Shine said that Camie might be visiting again soon-- but not officially.

"You don't want us to tell Aizawa, right?" Mina said.

"I don't see how he could stop me, but it's up to your discretion," Shine said.

"You know... what Aizawa doesn't know won't kill him..." Mina hissed to the other girls, "After all, she's cool, and it's not like it's hurting anyone if she visits. It's probably against some rule, but she can just slip in and out, so who's to know?"

Tsuyu said she wouldn't tell, but she thought it was a bad idea, on record.

"You think everything is a bad idea," Mina and Tohru complained. They were getting a little tired of Tsu's stickler attitude.

Tsu gave them a strange look.

But no one told Aizawa.

Momo felt better now that she'd made up her mind, but she also felt unsettled, like she'd entered some kind of new, uncharted territory.

Todoroki thought something was still odd about the situation: Momo was suddenly talking to Shine and Wally again.... Everything seemed fine. Bakugo kept glaring at all of them but saying nothing...

Bakugo had other reasons to be annoyed, though. It was true that some parents were dropping in to check on the students.

So far, just Mina's, Ojiro's, and Tsuyu's, but Bakugo wondered if his would come. He didn't think his mom would really bother... but you never knew with that old hag.

Shine was letting Wally handle the parents' questions. He had a way of putting everyone at ease. Luckily, none of them seemed to realize that the supervisors actually lived there in the dorms.

Two days after the talk with Momo, the Iida family paid a visit. Even Tensei was there.

Shine liked him. She would have liked Mrs. Iida better if she'd not started by demanding to know if her son was getting the proper care and upholding the family name.

All the parents also said this phrase, "Thank you for taking care of my son/daughter."

Iida himself did more of the tour for them than either of the DJs. He was convinced anyone else would mess it up.

Perhaps he should have made that less obvious, because at the end of their visit, Mrs. Iida spoke to her son, "I can see you're doing well here at this school. The training is not too easy for you, is it?"

"Oh, no mother," Iida said.

Wally scoffed. "Easy? Easy to break bones in maybe!"

They all looked at him oddly, even Tensei.

"Mr. West," Iida leaned closer, "now is not the time to spout your negative views of our training."

But Wally was the type of man that only egged on.

"What do you mean, sir?" Mrs. Iida asked.

"Oh, just the training's been cranked up more and more since internships began," Wally said incorrigibly, "I'd say the students get hurt on a daily basis now."
