Fallen Hero (Discontinued)

Questions and Swimming

(Shigaraki POV)

As I was walking back to the base, I thought about what the kid said. The more I thought about it, the more confused I became. On one hand, he's trying to play the role of pacifist, but on the other hand, the way he spoke made it sound like he would kill someone if it meant everyone else could live in peace. He seems like the kind of player who would make killing a last resort, and try their best to befriend every single enemy in the game, but would still resort to it if there was no other option. I couldn't help but wonder about what that meant. Then I thought back to the monsters. It was said that they were sealed underground by a very powerful magical spell. In a fantasy game, you would need high-level items and spells to break that kind of thing. There were certain achievements and paths you would have to take to get the information you needed to unlock the level required to reach it. Sometimes, there was only one way to unlock a level and you had to follow a set path that would only work if you played the game right.

Games like that tend to force you to give up whatever role you were aiming for in order to win. If the barrier had been broken, then by that logic... was he truly a pacifist? Or was he just pretending so he could fake being a "hero" in front of his friends? What were the requirements for breaking such a powerful spell? How much did he have to level up? And what kind of things did he have to do to level up in this game? He had to have something bad to get this far, there was no way he couldn't have. Maybe I can use my games as a way to lure this new player into revealing his cheat codes.

'Wait, "Player"? Well I mean, he sure acts like one. Hm... yeah that sounds right. Yes, I think we're going to have a lot of fun together... Player 2,'

(Izuku POV)

Ever since the finals began, I had a lot of paperwork to catch up on. Yaoyorozu and I had called as many people as we could think of and ran a petition. Surprisingly enough, the act to "secure" monsters had been revoked on the claim that it was segregation in disguise. Most of the people who voted in favor were humans who had seen the worst in society and believed in the mercy that monsterkind provides. The ones who didn't vote had asked for a different option that allowed humans to join the Monster Police Force. much revision and planning from Hawks and me, with Yaoyorozu giving her two cents every now and then, we had completed an act to confirm the public's opinion. As such, the security in Newer Home had allowed humans to further merge with Monster affairs.

Now I was dealing with the dreadful paperwork that came with setting up police records for everyone and filing the reports to the servers that record everyone's quirks and backgrounds. Hawks had hired someone to thoroughly check the backgrounds of everyone interested and Undyne had personally interviewed every applicant to see if they were worthy of the position. My next task was to hire someone to build a police force academy to train and educate those who want to join the force. Luckily, I knew just the person to ask. So here I was, sitting on the couch of the Uraraka household.

"So that's the situation. I know it's a bit much to ask but I promise to pay you accordingly," I calmly stated, doing my very best to act as professional as possible. "You want to hire us?" he asked. Kosei Uraraka was Ochaco's father and was a very kind man. He doted on both his daughter and wife and made it very clear that he would protect and support his family with every fiber of his being. "When I was given the task of building an academy to train new officers, you were the first company that came to mind. The other companies all had either heavy prices that didn't match the quality they produced or sketchy backgrounds that I wouldn't trust anywhere near my family, let alone my security. I have already met your daughter, and she is very good friends with my brother. If you were capable of raising such a sweet girl, I have no doubt you are just as kind and honest as her. I believe I can trust you with this task, and not try to trick or take advantage of me. I'll pay you for all the supplies you need, along with a handsome tip if you get it done right the first time. How does that sound?" Izuku replied.
