The Emperor's Dragon II

Questions About Friendship

This is a continuation of The Emperor's Dragon. As Wattpad can only take 200 chapters, I've had to go to a second book. As a result, a lot of stuff won't make sense if you start here. If you are intimidated by 200 chapters, then all you need to know is:

- AFO raised Izuku and accidentally began to care for him
- Izuku has a ranged copy of AFO, so he can take quirks from a distance
- Izuku is friends with Ochaco, Hitoshi and Mei before going into Management at UA
- Kamino events have caused Izuku to chose the path of villainy, when Ochaco was expelled from UA but no one else was
- that's about it. :D

Enjoy.

Ochaco lay on her bed in her small apartment. She hadn't moved back to Tsu yet. She could have. She didn't have much stuff here that she needed. She could take a few clothes and go back to Tsu and be comfortable with her parents but ... that left this apartment furnished and she'd still have to pay the rent. Her folks were doing okay. Ever since they'd gotten on that Panel, work had been steady but there was no reason to waste money. So she was going to have to spend a few days here, disposing of things before she went back to Tsu. And she'd have to hope the agent would let her break the lease or find someone quickly to take over.

And then she didn't know what she was going to do.

Vlad King had told her he had some contacts as he'd escorted her from UA but at the gate she'd simply looked him in the eye and said she didn't want them. He'd looked confused for a few moments but then he'd nodded. He understood, the same way she did that with an expulsion from UA on her record, there was no way any other Hero school was going to take her in.

Which was the other reason for staying here. There were still more opportunities available in Tokyo. She had no idea what she was going to do but here, there were more opportunities.

And a lot of gossip.

It was very early. Her phone was telling her the time started with a four. But she hadn't been able to sleep, so she was scrolling through her chats. She still had access to some of the class chats and while there was a question as to why she hadn't been kicked out of them, Ochaco wasn't looking an information gift horse in the mouth.

For a day, her expulsion was all anyone could talk about in the chats. The return of the kidnapped students and the rescue group had made a mention but people had been speculating on why she'd been expelled. No one had gotten even close to the truth. .She'd kept quiet on those and had only spoken to Mei, Hitoshi and Momo. Then late that night there was an explosion of chat.

Apparently the kidnapped students, and the rescue team had been challenged to a fight. And had lost!

There'd been no further details until Jiro had gone into the 1A/B combined chat attempting to find Shoji. Apparently he had been challenged as well but hadn't gone. She wanted to make sure he was okay. That had pulled everyone to the combined chat. They'd made it for the camp which now felt as if it was months ago, instead of barely a few days.... So much had happened.

Shoji had said he was fine, and then speculation had gone wild. Even Monoma had toned it done since Momo was part of 1B but that didn't stop anyone else. They wanted answers. They didn't get answers, except for the confirmation that the kidnappees and the rescue team, minus Shoji and Honenuki were in the infirmary.

That was bad enough but the next morning there were even more rumours going around. What was known was that Endeavor had collected Todoroki. Actually everyone's parents had come and there had been some confidential meeting with the Principal and All Might. Momo's parents had taken her out of school for the week, as well. Apparently the kidnappees and the rescue team all had a week off to think about something.
