SCP 963-3

Short Fuses

Thursday was the next heroics class, with Class A again. Toshinori chatted with Izuku and Eve as they arrived. Turning his attention back to his students, Allmight's voice boomed as he announced the day's practice would involve their quirks. "ALRIGHT, TODAY'S EXERCISE IS BATTLES WITH YOUR QUIRKS! IZUKU AND EVE WILL BE TAKING NOTES AS A PART OF THEIR STUDIES, REPORTING TO NEZU, SO DO YOUR BEST!"

With that encouragement, and the subtle threat of having Nezu directly watching their progress, the students showcased the best that their quirks could do. Izuku was able to get a lot of information from that day. Eve was also able to pick up on a few things, mainly psychological effects of quirks. Toru's biggest desire was to be noticed, Tsuyu was calm in room temperature, while agitated in hotter environments. She had a knack for it, in a way Izuku didn't. They complimented each other, and had different, but complimentary interests. It was definitely a subject she was understanding far easier than the greenette was, to their surprise.

At the end of the day, they turned in their analysis. As Nezu carefully read them over, he smiled genuinely. They both had put in their fair share into this, and Eve's insights onto the psychological effects of quirks was fascinating to read. He hadn't ever considered those elements before, not to this level. "Well done. You both are great in your portions. As a team, you both cover each other's weaknesses... Now that my teaching is complete for now, you can both go and 'hang out', I believe that's what students call it, with the other classes if you wish." He chuckled as the brunette stood up, and dragged the verdant haired student out of the office, to the rodent's laughter.

Eve was all for the opportunity, finally free of studying for the moment. I mean, she had just been caught up on years worth of work in the past 3 days. Her brain needed a rest. "C'mon, think of it as getting more information on them!"

Izuku was less convinced, but went along with it, as with Eve there, he'd be fine. At least, that was the thought... until she dragged him in front of the Class A door. Realizing the danger he was about to be put in, especially since he didn't have Allmight as a shield, the student dug in his heels. "Hell no. Not with Katsuki in there."

"Don't worry about it. I'll be here with you." She grinned. 
Remembering what he was like, especially with quirkless like he used to be... he struggled even more. "But... he'll hate you just as much as he hates me!"

"Aww... you do care about me!" Eve smirked... almost letting him go... before she stated, "Look, I've dealt with worse. I dealt with the statue once when it broke containment. You'll be fine."

That stumped his resistance for just a moment. "What... you...?" After a moment, however, Izuku shook his head. "I'm not worried for myself... but knowing Mom, if she hears that he attacks me on sight..."
She was thoughtful for a moment, nodding with a knowing smile. She knew what Isa was like with him, and it seemed that he didn't quite appreciate that yet. Oh, he knew she would protect him, but didn't quite know the ferocity of that protection. "Oh... I see the dilemma. Ah well, can't be helped. If Bakugo's suicidal, who are we to stop him?" Before any more protests could escape his mouth, the brunette opened the door, quickly making her presence known... by interrupting Ectoplasm as he taught them math. Izuku covered his face as she dragged him in, and dropped him on the floor with a wave. Oh God, Eve, What Have You Done?!

Thankfully, Ectoplasm was a lighthearted teacher, despite his initial, spooky appearance. The class was nearly over, as all the teacher had to do was pass out homework. Everyone else was excited to see them again. Mina and Toru even hugged Eve, "You're actually here without it being a heroics class!" 
And, true to her more social personality, Eve did most of the talking, "Yeah, we got through the work Nezu gave us today, so we're free for the rest of it."
