*Narrator POV*

The courtroom was in stunned silence at All Might's declarations, as the giant skeleton cuffed himself into the chair next to Izuku. Izuku stared at him in shock before giving him a thankful smile which Toshinori returned his own smile. The judge cleared their throat and strikes their gavel to stop the whispering in the courtroom.

"Um. Mr. All Might, I'm sorry to say this. You can't sit there as you are not an attorney nor are you the one on trial." clarified the judge as they adjusted their glasses with nervousness and confusion on the situation. 

"Why not? I already said why I belong here and I'll say it again. I'm the reason why he's going to jail or might go to jail. I trained him, and gave him his suit and equipment, all of it was my idea. If my successor and pupil is going to prison for my mistakes, then I'll gladly go along with him. So, yes this trial is just as much for me as it is for him." stated Toshi causing murmurs to break out in the courtroom as no one saw this coming. The judge looked lost, the guards didn't know what to do and the jury also looked lost. As if something had gone off script.

The silence was broken by a loud ringing when the judge pulled out a phone and quickly faced away from the cameras leaning into the phone. There were hushed whispers between the judge and phone, before closing it as it came to an end. The judge cleared their voice and struck their gavel regaining order in the courtroom. "As of this moment All Might, also known as Toshinroi Yagi will also be joining Izuku Midoriya as a defendant. This is now a joint trial to determine their innocence. The court will reconvene in 20 minutes."

The court exploded in complaints and shouts of protest as Toshinori and Izuku were escorted out in chains by the guards. Toshinori was checked for anything in his clothes but was shown to be clean. They were shoved into a side room showing a dark conference room with a table in the middle horizontal to the door. Sitting at it was an older woman with gelled-back blonde hair and deep turquoise eyes that held no positive emotions. She was in a feminine business suit but Izuku could tell something was dangerous about her especially since there were heroes all around her yet he didn't recognize a single one.

They were forced down on the two chairs in front of the woman with little resistance. The woman was tapping her foot on the floor with clear anger in her demeanor. "Well, good job Yagi. You managed to ruin my plans and pissed me off." Neither prisoner said anything as they sat there making her groan as she rubbed her head, most likely a headache. 

"What a pain. Okay, since you basically sabotaged this whole trial, Yagi, we have to do a change of plans. I have a deal for Izuku Midoriya." Izuku narrowed his eyes at the madam president as he wanted her to continue. She meet his glare and actually liked it that meant this kid still had some grit, good that will be useful. "So here's the deal for you. It comes in two parts or two portions. 1. You will return to UA to finish your studies, however, you will not be allowed to leave there at all unless with supervision. To monitor this an ankle monitor will be attached to your ankle, to track your position and give an intense shock if you try to leave."

"Sounds fair," Izuku muttered with sarcasm but the woman continued ignoring him. "2. You will do whatever I say and I mean whatever I say without question. I tell you to run, you run until your legs fall off from the bone. Then you start crawling until I say stop. That will be your life until 3 years after you graduate from UA. I will own your ass and there's no other way to put it. The second portion of this part is something you can at least enjoy depending on your personality."

Toshinori and Izuku weren't liking this deal one bit but it seemed she wasn't done. "I know about your quirk Midoriya and everything about it. I also know that it's more compatible with quirkless people, so I think you know where I'm going with this. By the end of your tenure at UA, you must have at least 5 women partners; girlfriend, fiancee, concubines, or wives it doesn't matter as long as you have 5. You must also have one child by the time you graduate. Also, every woman must give their written consent to this...' harem'. These are the conditions of the deal, so do you accept these conditions?"

Izuku felt disturbed by the deal while Toshinori was fuming with rage. However, both had to admit there wasn't really any other option. "Well it's not like I had any other choice," said Izuku as he offered his hand for a shake which the woman returned with a smile Izuku couldn't read. "Good at least you understand that Midoriya. Now for you Yagi we'll discuss your punishment at a later date. Take them back." So, the two were lifted up and escorted back to the courtroom so the new rigged trial could commence.

The trial lasted three hours for theatrics alone as Izuku and Toshinori were found not guilty since their deal was kept under the table. Izuku was in the back of a tinted limo with Toshinori and Nezu. Nezu was just apologizing that he couldn't do more which Izuku just said was fine, and that he was lucky he got off so easy. Nezu told him he was in the 1-B dorm on the top floor in a corner room with no balcony, windows, or neighbors. He was to be isolated basically unless he came himself. Also, his classmates wouldn't be back until another week which he was fine with.

It was the next day and Izuku was sitting on the couch in his common room in the dorms hissing as Ochaco checked his wounds from his battle with AFO. The prison did the bare minimum to treat him which was just to hand Izuku the supplies and leave them to him. Luckily, he had the experience to at least prevent himself from dying. However, that didn't mean Ochaco was happy as she was inspecting his wounds and reapplying medicine or bandages. Right now she was wrapping Izuku's torso in bandages to stabilize some broken ribs and other bones.

"So, basically you need to get more women at your side to please the government, right?" asked Ochaco in a calm tone yet her actions didn't match the tone as she harshly tightened the bandage. "OW! Watch it! Yes, that's the arrangements of the deal, I'm sorry but I really wasn't in a position to argue with the government. It was the only way I could avoid prison time."

Ochaco's look softened as she realized how much this was bothering Izuku. He refused to look at her and instead was looking at the consent forms these women would have to sign on the coffee table in front of them. Ochaco sighed as she knotted the bandage finishing it. She then interlocked her fingers with his making him turn towards her. "I was just messing with you Izuku. Really, I could never be mad at you for this. You did what you had to."

Izuku sighed, "I know Ochaco. It just feels like I betrayed you even though I never wanted to." Izuku tried to look away from her but she put a hand on his cheek and made him look at her. "Do you love me?" she asked, Izuku didn't take a second to respond, "Of course." She smiled at that and leaned back on the couch. "Then everything's fine. As long as you love me Izuku and I love you. It would never matter how many women would be at your side. As long as I'm one of them.......well as long as I'm the main woman." Ochaco added with blush as she realized she still didn't really like the idea of another girl trying to be the main piece with Izuku.

She coughed into her hand and handed Izuku a filled-out consent form making him shocked. "I truly do love you Izuku. And nothing will change that, no matter how mad I may seem sometimes, I will always love you." Izuku smiled as he tried to hold back tears, "God what would I do without you, Ochaco?" "Hm. Probably bleeding in an alleyway or something." They both shared laughed as they got close and shared a kiss. That turned a little deeper for the Seer's comfortability.
