Izuku's POV:

The next day, after my first official training with Yaoyorozu-san, I was at the front desk of Tanaka Corporations, waiting for my key card to be handed to me.

Receptionist: "Actually Midoriya-san, my boss wanted to see you." she said with empathy.

I had the idea that this may be about what happened with Yaoyorozu-san. I put on a brave face as I then smiled at the receptionist, giving her the sign that it was going to be okay, but it seemed to have the opposite effect as her face grew more worried. She hesitantly gave me the key card that allowed access to the higher floors, as I then gladly took it and thanked her, making my way to the elevator.

The elevator ride took a few minutes until I was able to reach the floor where Mister Tanaka-sama was on. When the elevator doors first opened, I put my right foot out first as I then took a step, then I followed the same with the other foot, as I made a marching rhythm with my feet, making my way to the front doors to his office, having my body act stiff as I was quite nervous for what he may have had planned for me.

I took a deep breath since I have been in many situations like these at school, as I then slowly creaked the door open, giving my head a slight peek inside as I saw him sitting at his desk with his fingers interlocking with each other as his chin rested on top of them, looking very displeased.

I slowly walked in through the small creak of the open doors as I then gently closed the door behind me, putting my back against the doors as I was too nervous to get close to him.

Fumihiro: "No need to be nervous. Take a seat. I just want to talk." as he directed to the couch in front of him.

I took my time with getting to the seat, but when I looked back at him to see how irritated he was in his eyes with how slow I was, I hastened my pace, planting myself onto the seat.

Fumihiro: "How long has it been since you've been in my office before?" he questions.

Izuku: "No-Not since th-the time when I fi-first came here to fo-form the contract, sir." I replied to him nervously.

Fumihiro: "Do you know why you've never been called back here before besides today?" to which I slowly shook my head no, "Because there was never a reason for you to be called here." he said in a bit of an angry tone, frightening me a bit, before taking a look back at me and tried to recompose himself. "Sorry for my manners. I've been dealing with a lot of issues as of late." as he rubs his eyes a bit from exhaustion. "I'm running a company here, which means I expect everyone to follow my orders to function properly, and if one is acting out of order, the whole system will crash. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Izuku: "Ye-Yes sir." I said back to him nervously.

Fumihiro: "Good. Then do you know how I felt when I've been told that you've been giving the Yaoyorozu's daughter secret lessons behind their backs, going against the contract that was established between our companies?" he asks in an intimidating tone, to which I didn't move a muscle as I didn't know how to respond, "You could have jeopardized our relationship with them." he said to me angrier which made me put my arms up instinctively at the sudden change in tone. "Luckily the Yaoyorozus didn't put any blame on you or me, and only wanted to readjust the current contract." he slightly calmed down which, made me sigh in relief a bit as I was too nervous to voice what had happened but it seemed he had more to say, "Despite this ending in a more neutral way, you would still need punishment for going against orders in the first place."

I knew this bit was coming as I knew his antics of him being a serious businessman who doesn't take anything lightly.

Fumihiro: "It'll be bad to suspend you since your valuable asset." he then opens his drawer to take out a few envelopes.

Izuku: "What are those?" I questioned.

Fumihiro: "A few invitations that my nephew can't attend as his schedule does not allow it." he then handed me invitations, "You'll be going in my nephew's stead as the representative of my company."

Izuku: "W-Why me?"

Fumihiro: "It brings my company closer with others, as well as promotes the young genius I have at my company." he says with a smirk, making me sigh as I reluctantly took the envelopes and began overseeing the dates of when they said that I must attend.

Izuku: "U-Um sir. Most of these dates happen to be on a weekday. My contract stated that I will only be working on weekends."

Fumihiro: "Wasn't it you who broke the contract first when you first tried teaching the Yaoyorozu's daughter?" he questions, making it hard for me to argue back as I had no counter-argument, "Good. That is all. You'll resume your scheduled job." making me shove the letters into my backpack as I then trudged my way out of the office and back to the lab down below.

When I had opened the door to the lab, I saw Nakamura-san with deep dark eye bags as he looked so exhausted.

Izuku: "Are you okay!" I shouted as I rushed to his aid, but he gently brushed me off.

Satoshi: "I'm fine." he said while yawning, "Just have been missing a few nights of sleep this past week, but I can pull through." as he tried reaching for the support gear in front of him, but he only collapsed to the ground, quickly making me check on his vitals to see if he was okay.

I then heard him snoozing, meaning that he was only taking a nap. I sigh in relief as I then took my lab coat from the hangar and placed it under him as a pillow, as I then stood straight up and quietly examined what he was working on, finishing it for him while he rested.

Hours passed and I had finished the support gear he was working on earlier, but it was nearing the time when I'm supposed to clock out, with Nakamura-san still asleep, showing how exhausted he must have been. I didn't bother waking him up as he needed the rest so I had quietly exited the room and clocked out for the day.

A month has passed since I've been given proper permission to train Yaoyorozu-san. There were no parties I needed to attend during that time, but for some reason, every day, I've been waking up all sweaty from some kind of bad dream, but I can never remember what it was about. Miss Yaoyorozu-sama has been overseeing my training with Yaoyorozu-san as she waited for her office to be done, making me a bit stiff to act normally at first, but after two weeks, I had slowly gotten used to it. She would ask various questions about the training every time when I changed it to a different regime, but I would always answer them without complaining as I've been doing these behind her back for a while.

Right after I had finished tutoring Yaoyorozu-san, Miss Yaoyorozu-sama had stood up from her seat.

MY: "Before you begin her training, I have a surprise for both of you." which both interested us about what it could be as we then followed her.
