20 - Report

\......................................................../

Izuku finally got home after his first day at new school.

"Man that was nerve wracking. It looks like Miku really is getting bullied after all..." Izuku tought as he was remembering the whole ordeal. "I really didn't need to remember that bitch again."

Izuku sat down on his bed and took out his phone.

"Well, the best thing I can do now is report to Maruo." He mumbled as he opened his contacts and dialed Maruo's number.

Mr. Nakano
Calling...

<Hello Izuku, what can I do for you?>

<Hello Maruo, I just came from my first day at Miku's school, so I figured you would like to know some details.> Izuku said.

<I see, thank you for consideration. So, what did you find?> Maruo asked.

<So far, I can pretty confidently confirm that Miku is really being bullied and I do have some names as well.>

<I see, then send me those names and I wi->

<Actually, I want to ask you to stay out of this.> Izuku said.

<What do you mean Izuku? We can't waste time on playing heroes here.>

<I am aware. That's precisely why I want you to leave this to me.>

<... Explain...>

<If anybody will get even a slightest suspicion that Miku might have told you, they will make sure she pays big time. You doing anything would only make things worse for her.>

There was a short silence before Maruo spoke again.

<What are your chances to pull it off?> He asked.

Izuku sighed. <Realistically, about 80%...> Izuku said.

<And if you fail?>

<I will most likely join your daugher in beating.> Izuku admitted.

<I see... You have 2 weeks, then I will take charge. Deal?> Maruo proposed.

<Very well. That sounds fair.> Izuku accepted.

<Allright, now that that's settled. How is your next song comming along?>

<I should have it ready by Sunday.>

<Good, then come into the studio on Monday so we can get to work.>

<Yes sir. Goodbye.>

<Goodbye and good luck.> Maruo said as Izuku hang up.

Izuku put away his phone and laid down on his bed.

"So I have 2 weeks huh... Probably not smart to accept so quickly, but I guess it's too late now... Whatever, it's Wednesday, so I have 2 more school-days to get a better idea." He thought and got up.

"In the meantime, I should probably finish my new song."

\...................../ Time Skip \...................../

New day has begun as Izuku was waiting in front of the school gate.

"Given what happened yesterday, I think it will be best to wait here for Miku. Who knows what others can do when they see her." He thought as he was looking trough the crowd of students, searching for Miku.

"Midoriya?" A familiar voice said, tapping his shoulder.

Izuku quickly turned around to see Miku standing there.

"Ah Nakano, you startled me." Izuku said with a smile.

"Are you waiting for someone?" She asked.

"Well yeah, for you..." Izuku admitted, rubbing the back of his head.

Miku's eyes flashed yellow for a second before turning back to blue. "I-I see, why?" She shyly asked.

"I mean, we are friends. Is this not what friends do?"

"Friends...?" Miku said.

"Yes... You don't want us to be friends?"

"No, I-I mean yes, b-but..." Miku was having a hard time answering Izuku's question. Izuku was however able to understand from her reaction what she ment.

Izuku lightly chuckled. "It's fine Nakano. No need to be so nervous."

"O-ok..." She said in quiet, embarassed tone.

"Come on then, we don't want to be late." Izuku said and went through the school gates, followed by Miku.

"Did her eyes just change to yellow for a moment? I remember them changing to orange... Am I just colorblind?" Izuku was thinking. "Can her eyes change into more colors of color spectrum than just orange? That seems most likely, but then why is it then orange most of the time?"

"M-Midoriya?" Miku stuttered as she tried to talk to him.

"Yes?"

Miku was hesitant to talk for a bit. "A lot of people are staring..." She said.

Izuku looked around to see almost everybody looking at him and Miku. Some people looked worried, some disgusted and some were simply staring blankly.

"Looks like we are both targets now... Good thing I reported to Maruo yesterday, becouse I can already feel my chances dropping to barely 60% now." Izuku thought.

"Just ignore them and keep moving. It's not like any of them are brave enough to try anything right here in the open." Izuku reassured Miku.

"Right..." Miku said, trying to look away from the people.

Izuku and Miku walked trough the school hallways until they finally reached their classroom. As they walked in, they could both feel the unfriendly glares of their classmates.

Izuku looked around the classroom as he was approaching his seat. "Damn, even Moroha looks pissed. Good thing tho, I didn't like that freakish positive energy he was radiating yesteday."

Miku was getting visibly nervous. Izuku however just looked completely calm... That was until he saw his desk.

Izuku busted out laughting when he saw a number of insults written over his desk.

"OH MY GOD, they freaking made differend letters in lowercase and uppercase. This is way too adorable. Look at that variety, these guys sure have such rich vocabulary." Izuku was thinking as he continued laughting.

"OI, WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT FREAK!"
