"I'm not inadequate. I can be a hero. I do NOT have a villains quirk. I'm just as capable as the other students."

"I'm not inadequate. I can be a hero. I do NOT have a villains quirk. I'm just as capable as the other students."

"I'm not inadequate. I can be a hero. I do NOT have a villains quirk. I'm just as capable as the other students."

You repeated the mantra back to yourself over and over again like a bible verse. If you repeated it enough you'd believe it right? There you stood outside principal Nezus office awaiting a meeting to discuss your mentor ship at UA. You had applied relentlessly day and night for the past 2 months hoping your application would be approved. When the acception letter came in the mail you nearly jumped out of your skin, but deep down we're you ready to meet their expectations? It made you sick to your stomach with uncertainty, was this the day? We're you finally getting everything you ever wanted or are you just going to mess it all up? Will they think you're villainous and toss you to the side like the US teachers? You smoothed out your wrinkled skirt with your hands before knocking on his office door

Knock Knock

Nezu: "Come in!"

Y/N: "Hi...are you principal Nezu?"

Nezu: "Yes, you must be the University student from America Ive been eager to meet you! Please, have a seat...thirsty?" He asked, walking over to the corner of his office and getting out an ice tea for himself

Y/N: "Yes, I'll take coffee please, black." You plopped down in his squeaky leather lounge chair across from his desk

Nezu: "Miss L/N your a little young to be drinking coffee dont you think?"

Y/N: "With the amount of homework I have coffee has become a regular part of my diet." You giggled as he handed you a cup of black coffee. Involuntarily your leg started shaking with nervousness. While he sat across from you examining your file you examined his features. Is he a bear or a mouse? He sifted through the Manila folder throwing out an occasional "hm" and "interesting" it made your muscles tense.

Nezu: "Your academic history is outstanding Ms. L/N: all straight A's through high school, perfect attendance, and charity work! With a record like this I'm amazed that your not in the top hero school in America...why is that?"

The amount of tears you wanted to shed as he talked about your record and school life in America, it was hard to here how hard you worked and how it was basically for nothing

Y/N: "Well, unfortunately sir in the US quirks that manipulate a persons free will and free thinking are outlawed from ever being in the hero commission. They're considered too dangerous and inhumane."

The air filled with your light sniffles, you couldn't hold back the emotions anymore as small teardrops fell from the corner of your eyes.

Y/N: "I just want to prove I'm not a villain. I don't want people to be afraid of me..." you said between sniffles, you were so embarrassed that you actually let yourself cry in front of him it was definitely not courageous or hero like.

A fuzzy feeling hit against your arm, you opened your eyes and next to you was Nezu holding out a box of tissues for you to which you gladly accepted.

Nezu: "I know it must be hard for you Ms. L/N, manipulative quirks are never easy to have. You're labeled a villain from the very beginning. Where others have to work to be heroes, you have to prove you even deserve a chance. It's far from fair and I want to help fix it..."

His loving words filled your heart with warmth and hope, no except your parents had ever spoken so confidently about your quirk before

Nezu: "Starting now you're an apprentice at UA" he said while hopping back into his chair behind his desk, "you'll gain a full year of experience from one of our esteemed teachers and at the end of the year you will take the written and physical hero-licensing exam."

CRASH

Nezu: "Oh my-

You were so stunned by what you just heard that you didn't realized you dropped your entire cup of coffee onto the floor.

Y/N: "SHOOT! I'm so sorry principal Nezu! I'll clean this up right away!" You scrambled to find a dry cloth or paper towels. In a frantic hurry you took off your jacket and used it to sop up the coffee

Nezu: "Y/N that's really not necessary dear mistakes happen!"

Y/N: "I just...a-are you sure you're not making a mistake? I've wanted to be a hero for so long, but maybe there's a reason I wasn't in it in the first place." Your head hung in doubt as you continue to wipe up the coffee with your now damp and soggy jacket

Nezu: "My only mistake was not acknowledging your talent sooner, and for that I apologize. I want you in this program Y/N. I want you to become a hero..."

You beamed with happinesses, it was finally happening. You didn't have to prove to anyone you weren't a villain anymore, learning at the top hero school in Japan would prove that you were just as good a hero as anyone else. You jumped to your feet and did your best not to let the joyful tears fall out.

Y/N: "I won't let you down Nezu! I'm going to do my best!" You we're about to turn and walk out before he stopped you

Nezu: "W-wait Mrs. L/N there's one more thing, we need to discuss the teacher you'll be assigned to and your living arrangements for this year. He should be here any minute to discuss these things with us-"

A knock on the door interrupted you both

"You wanted to see me Principal Nezu?"

Nezu: "Yes, you're here just in time" he turns back to you as the tall dark haired gentleman walks over to the desk and stands beside you

Nezu: "Y/N this will be your mentor...
