Wild Goose Chase

Chapter 9

A few uneventful weeks. No news about anything,
or anything remotely interesting.

Aizawa yawned, stretching his arms up above his head. He'd be expecting a new class soon, a new class of nuisances, but a class regardless.

He'd need a whole lot more coffee than this, a cup with a few coffee grounds left to sip up at the bottom.

The man stood up, deciding he'd look over the list of students on his way home. The sun casted a soft orange over the room, just enough light to see around the office.

He opened the draw, pulling out a folder, and slamming it shut again.
Aizawa should really be getting home.

If he wants to get in a power nap before going back to work, then he should go as early as possible.

The man tiredly walked over to the door, flicking the light off, and stepping outside.
The door shut with a click, and Aizawa began to boredly trek down the school hallways.

He'd watched the examinees .. a few of them were impressive. He hoped to see the new students improve. That was usually his favourite part of teaching. Everything else was pretty .. annoying,
If we're being honest.

He opened the front door, locking it behind him.
Aizawa pondered, staring at the ground as he began walking down the path.

Not many people were out. The few who were, were returning from work or walking home after school.

The sun was still bright, despite the late time.
He placed a hand in front of his eyes, pulling his scarf further up his face. Stupid sun. He wished he could travel in his sleeping bag, just .. roll around.
Though, Aizawa doesn't think that would be good for his homeless man reputation (not true).
They'd think he was on drugs too, no doubt.

He picked up the folder, flipping through the student files until he made it to his student listings.

Todoroki Shoto.
Child of the number 2 hero, Endevour-?
Sounds like too much.

Maybe Aizawa should just retire sooner or later .. well after he makes sure all the .. all the new students become good heroes ..
not because he actually cares.

..

Yeah, maybe that isn't true, but he's not admitting to anything.

Two students got in on recommendation.
Their quirks are listed underneath their student files.

Fire and Ice.
Creation.

Both sound like powerful quirks ..
and a handful.

Aizawa made sure to keep walking, finger hovering over the names.

There was another student, Katsuki Bakugou.
His last name was familiar,, maybe he had well-known parents.

Aizawa wasn't sure, but he hoped not.

Having such well-known students wouldn't exactly be ideal. But, whatever. He can't do much about it, anyway.

He'll just have to suffer in silence, and pretend that he's having a nice calm everlasting sleep, forevermore.
..

If he wants to even bother getting through this.

Izuku had received his results.

He hadn't opened it yet, because Shinsou had told him not to, but the anticipation was almost painful.

They were going to meet in the park instead, the one near Izuku's house, and share their results together. Mainly because they're both lonely, and have no friends. Or at least that's the collective assumption they both came to. It was pretty obvious.
