"Allright, I believe that should be everything. Do you want to discuss something else?"

"No, the deal sounds good to me."

After some time of discussing, Izuku and Maruo finally came to agreeable terms concerning Izuku's contract.

"Very well, I will give the details to my secretary and once that's done, I will call you again to sign the contract papers to make it official. Sounds good?" Maruo said.

"It sure does." Izuku said as he finished his coffee.

Mr. Nakano turned to near waitress. "Excuse me, can we get our bill please?"

"Right away sir." Waitress said as she nodded to her coworker.

Izuku took out his wallet.

"It's fine, I'll pay for us both." Maruo said looking at Izuku. Eventho Izuku wanted to protest, he knew that it would be best to just accept mr. Nakano's generosity.

So, mr. Nakano paid the bill and left the cafe with Izuku.

"Well, it was pleasure to meet you again in person mr. Nakano."

"Likewise Midoriya." Maruo said as car stopped next to him.

"Say, would you like a ride home?" Maruo offered

"Say, would you like a ride home?" Maruo offered.

"Oh no, I don't want to waste your tim-"

"Nonsense, all that awaits me is just boring paperwork after this. You are not wasting anybody's time here." Maruo cut off Izuku.

"Then I will take you up on that offer. Thank you."

Maruo and Izuku got into a car and Izuku gave the driver his adress. There were few minutes of silence, before Izuku decided to break it off.

"Mr. Nakano, I want to ask you something."

"Go on, what do you want to know."

"Why are you being so nice to me? I understand the basics like being nice to your clients, but I doubt anyone would go as far as to offer them ride home." Izuku said nervously.

Maruo sighed. "You really aren't used to people being kind to you, are you kid?"

"N-no." Izuku said, slightly suprised.

"Well, truth is I offered you the ride becouse I have a favour I would like to ask of you and I didn't want to discuss it in public."

"I see, w-well what do you want?" Izuku asked.

Maruo took out his phone and showed a picture on it to Izuku.

"This is my daugher Miku. I have a suspicion that she is being bullied at school, but she won't tell me, so I can't really go after anyone without knowing who is behind it." Maruo explained.

"I see, so she isn't the type to open up to others huh..."

"Eversince my wife died 3 years ago, she became rather distant. I am not really a role father. I don't know much about raising kids unlike my wife, but still..."

"You want to make sure she is safe, correct?" Izuku said.

"Yes." He admitted.

"Allright, but what can I do?" Izuku asked.

"Listen, I know that you have barely 3 months before you end middle school so I am aware that asking this might be strange, but... could you please trasfer to her school for those few months and help me solve this. Of course, I will pay off any financial necessities that come along with it."

Izuku was shocked by the proposal, but he tried to think about it.

"Transfering schools? I don't know. Well I mean, it's not like anyone will miss me at Aldera, but still... Is it even worth it? It's like he said, the school will end in just few months, so she can probably handle it..." He thought, but his thoughts were stopped by one memory.

"I will end it, yes. I will finally be free from this hell."

Izuku looked down. "Then again, I also had to keep it together for few months, yet I did break..." He kept thinking as he clenched his fist. "To hell with this. It's not like I will miss my school. If someone needs help, I have to help them."

"Allright, if that is all you want from me, I will help you." Izuku said as he looked Maruo straight in the eyes.

"Really?" Maruo said, suprised.

"Yes, altho I still need to discuss it with my family first."

"Thank you Midoriya. I am grateful." Maruo said.

"I still have to convince my family, but if you were serious about the financial backup, then I don't think they will be against it." Izuku said as the car stopped in front of his home. "Well, I am thankful for the ride mr. Nakano. I hope I can meet you next time with good news." He said as he opened the doors.

"I hope so too Midoriya." Maruo said as he extended his hand to Izuku.

Izuku noticed it and shook hands with mr. Nakano.

"Take care Midoriya." Maruo said.

Izuku stepped out the car. "You too mr. Nakano." He replied and closed the door.

Mr. Nakano's driver then drove away.

"Sir, are you sure it was wise to entrust such a task to a newcommer?" The driver asked.

Maruo lightly chuckled. "If the information Fudo gave me on him is correct, then I don't think there is anyone better suited for this job." He replied with confident smile.

It was nighttime when a green haired boy was sitting alone in the kitchen of his home.

CLICK

He heard opening of the lock on the doors. He went to check and sure enough, he saw his mother standing there.

"Welcome home mom." He greeted her.

"Hey sweetie. What are you doing up at this hour?" Inko asked her son.

"Mom, there is something I need to discuss with you."
