BNHA: Dual Fates.

Chapter 58: Persuasive Tongue

A/N: I'm so sorry for how long this chapter is. It's long for a reason though! The reason is-- the fanfic is coming to an end kinda soon-ish! :D

I'd say maaaybe between 8-10 more chapters! <3

But yes, I'm happy that you guys decided to stick with this after so long, this is the second longest fanfic I've ever written, aside from my fic-- Bleach: Rise of the Descendant, which is 75 chapters XD!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, and don't forget to use votes as a bookmarking system! Believe it or not, I tend to put a vote on a chapter just to save which chapter I'm on. That way if I forget which chapter I stopped at, I could go back and see what the last chapter I voted on was and then continue reading from there. It's quite handy x'D

After a long night, the sun rose over the horizon and revealed the city waking from its slumber. As the birds flew through the sky with their cries and the vehicles drove across the roads, heavy boots quickly walked past the many groggy people. Swaying from side to side, broad shoulders giving away a lot of his mass, Wani Kyoshi wandered to U.A. and ignored the countless skeptical stares from everyone.

Those piercing crocodile slits could barely be seen past the hood on his cloak, but the lack of vision didn't slow him down, for he continued to trek and would peek up to see where he was going. There, to his left, stood the grand gate of U.A. in all of its glory. "Heh... I must be early then," To the side of the gate were students familiar to him, Bakugou and timid Midoriya, who kept his hands up to ward off the temper of the other.

All he did was watch with deep contemplation. Stirring, conflicting emotions about heroes and villains all but made him reluctant to even approach them despite them being children. With a tight fist inside his cloak, his gaze averted to the metal on the gate and hoped they'd open soon. "Kyoshi!" That voice, feminine and cheerful, made the Crocodile whip his head around to see Yukimura and Hitoshi.

"Kyoshi, how's it going dude?!" With a raise of her hand, all five fingers sprawled, she waited for a high-five and kept that bright smile present. She could feel his weight shift and the next thing she knew he returned the gesture with a quick slap. "School's about to start, so what's up?" Her tan hands clamped onto her hips after she asked, curious as to why the hulking giant in front of her had decided to visit.

"I'll tell ya later... Anyway-- where's your cyber friend?" Wani wanted to change the subject, the thought of having to tell her everything about what Principle Nezu wanted to do for him, he knew it'd only cause drama or embarrassment.

"Oh! She spent some bonding time with her new Dad! She was so happy she was crying, she even achieved the highest ranking in the game she plays! I'm so proud of her, hahaha!" The brunette hadn't noticed that her sunshiny smile made the Croc stiffen and blush, she was too busy pondering about Uviel's experience last night.

"So-- she's going to be late?" As soon as Shinso questioned the girl, the school bell rang and the gates opened for all to enter.

"I doubt that. Her Dad's the friggin' fifth-ranked Hero. I bet he used his quirk to get here," Wani answered just before Bakugo and Midoriya ran in with a wave in their direction. He watched Haru return the gesture, albeit not facing them but still acknowledging the greeting. His feet and the other two made way for the school behind the boys up ahead of them.
