Beast In The Woods

Friends

The four changed into their school uniforms and grouped up to head out. Izuku was excited to go with his new friends, but first. "Before I can go, I need to tell Nezu."

"Alright, let's go!" Mina said leading the way. "Where are we going?" She stopped and turned to Izuku.

Izuku smiled and lead them up the stairs and to the principal's office. He knocked and waited, Nemuri taught him to do that. The door opened and Izuku strolled in. "Hey, Nezu! I'm going out with these guys to eat something. Also, I don't have money."

"Of course, keep your phone on yourself in case you need to contact us and here." He handed Izuku a card. "Nemuri said she taught you how to use it correct?" Izuku nodded. "It's not limitless so buy only what you require." Truthfully, it was a credit card with an obscene amount of credit but Izuku didn't need to know that. "Sometime in the future, we'll speak about managing your finances. For now, go enjoy yourselves." He smiled at the feral boy.

Izuku bounded out of the office and met up with his classmates. They walked out the gate and made their way to the streets. Izuku hadn't gone out since Nemuri took him out to get necessities for himself. He had spent time with her as she taught him some basic stuff but he was mainly isolated in the walls of UA. He had found no need to leave, after all, he had all he needed. Food, a place to sleep, and an extensive library.

As they began to walk, Shoji spoke. "Izuku, may I ask what you do in your free time?"

"Library probably," Shinso smirked.

"Yep! The library at UA is pretty big, I like to read." Izuku said happily.

"Oh? Like what? Romance novels?" Mina teased. "Are there hidden dirty magazines somewhere in there?"

"The library is pretty clean and there aren't many magazines. But no, I research the anatomy and biology of different things. Right now, I was reading about neurobiology." The clueless boy shot down Mina's teasing with logic.

Mina pouted slightly and Shinso narrowed his eyes slightly at his response. "All that for your quirk?" Jirou asked with a raised eyebrow at the pink girl.

"Yea, at first I could do basic stuff with my quirk like closing cuts or making claws. But for more detailed stuff I needed to know what I was doing. My legs were first, I hunted another wolf and learned how their legs worked. Now, I can do much more." He explained.

"What more can you do? Other than your arms and shifting into whatever Shinso teased about." Shoji was interested in what he could learn from the feral boy with a more advanced version of his quirk.

"I can make permanent changes to my body. Like my legs, I don't focus on keeping them like this. That's how they are now unless I change them." He went on to list what he changed in his body. The three new friends were both impressed and a bit horrified at what he had done. "I also fixed my ribs! I can put a hardened mesh between the ribs for extra protection. I also need to think about the heat pits snakes have. Hagakure made me think of that." Izuku said the last part more to himself.

"That's incredible, you did all that by yourself?" Shoji complimented.

"It's serious hard-core." Jirou agreed and Mina nodded emphatically.

"Asato helped me find what I needed to read for the information but Yep! It took a while though, too much changing at the same time can empty my fuel."

"Asato?" Mina asked.

"She is the librarian that worked or owned the library near my old den. She was very nice, I want to go visit sometime." Izuku smiled at the memory older librarian.
