Izumi's Excitement | Chapter 96

"Speaking" 'Thinking' ~Pico~

The "Field Trip" had finally come around and Izumi was strangely excited for it. Izuku had known that the girl would enjoy it considering it involved fighting, but she seemed excited for more than just that. He couldn't quite understand that much. On the other hand, Jobon has informed him that the team has fully surveilled the building and that there is only one entrance.

That didn't really help his worrying, as he knew very well about a certain person the villain's had among them. A warp gate user that had a rather annoyingly good handle over his quirk. Normally such quirks were troublesome, even Mirenai's had drawbacks. So the fact that his could grow to such a wide scale with him only needing to know the location of a single spot within the building..., it minorly irritated him was all...

To be honest though, the man probably knew far more than just a single set of numbers, they've probably done their own form of surveillance similar to his own. He wondered if they'd even had a team infiltrate or if there was potentially a traitor among the mix that could have given this information away freely..., that wouldn't make much sense though considering if it were a traitor, than it would no doubt have to be a student. A student wouldn't know the layout of the building, maybe the name and where the large building was, but that was no doubt it.

"Big brother, why do you have that weird thinking face on again?" Izumi questioned him. He sat in the back seat holding onto Pico's small sleeping form while seated next to Izumi.

"I've just had a bit of work on my mind. I should warn you a head of time Izumi, we've set in place another set of security guards, two specifically are placed to watch you, you shouldn't get to see them often, but they will be around when you need help." Izuku simply told her. Izumi tilted her head in confusion.

"How come? Why are there suddenly more security guards all of a sudden? Did big brother get himself into trouble again?" Izumi asked him. He simply huffed.

"A few of our business competitors have gotten a tad aggressive is all, I'm not entirely sure if they know that you're related to me or not, but it's best to be prepared in the case that something like that does happen." He explained. Izumi nodded.

"I'm not so sure I'll need help but..., if big brother says that it's for the best, than I believe him!" Izumi told him with a bright smile. Izuku smiled and nodded.

"I'm glad, make sure that you're more careful then. You also need to be more aware of your surroundings, got that?" Izuku told her. Izumi smiled and nodded determinedly. 

The car moved swiftly toward the school, no matter how many days would pass, there were still an abundance of reporters stationed at the gates simply pining over up and coming heroes, it was disgusting if he's being honest, people pretty much being so desperately interested in child soldiers... He closed his eyes to clear his head.

He could feel Pico's small hands hold onto his shirt a bit tightly. A screen appearing in front of his face asking if he was ok. He huffed and squeezed Pico a bit tighter.

The car pulled in through the gates of the school and Izumi hurriedly got out and said goodbye, the gates were barely open for a matter of seconds as the car was in and out. The reporters doing their best to capture any and every picture of their vehicle they could manage.

No doubt his blurred image would appear in the papers stating that he was family of a student. He didn't really get why citizens were so interested in heroes, but then again, he was probably just like that before his world came crashing down around him. He can mildly remember always running toward villain fights, always so utterly desperate to spot a hero in action.

"Papa, you're mind is very dark today. Pico's worried." Pico told him. She sat up in his arms and he nodded.

"I can't help but worry, this is our first true encounter with villains, after this, I guess it just feels like it's become more real. Like finally, all of this is starting to fully settle in... Honestly, this entire time I'd always thought that one day..., I might wake up from this odd dream, just to find out that all of this was never real. Maybe I'll be brought back to the hospital after I passed out that day." Izuku told her. Pico shook her head.

"Papa doesn't need to worry about that, Pico's not going anywhere." Pico told him as she hugged him tightly. Izuku smiled as he glanced down at her. His eyes wandered over to the windows of the car, faces of strangers passing by as they walked on the crowded sidewalks. He huffed and hugged Pico tight.

"I hope so..." He told her.

Izumi wandered into the school excitedly, she quickly found her way through an abundance of halls, only ever getting lost three times before finally finding her way. Momo had found her along the way, probably making sure that she wasn't late.

"Mo-chan! What do you think we'll be doing at the USJ, I know that sensei said it was simply for training, but I can't help but be excited!" Izumi told her. Momo chuckled and nodded.

"Me too, I really hope that we don't get split up though, I'd really like to fight along side you again Izu-chan." Momo told her as she hugged her tightly. Izumi smiled and nodded excitedly. They entered the classroom and took their seats, soon after Aizawa had walked in and glanced their way.

"Alright everyone, we'll be getting on the bus in ten minutes, get your hero costumes on and hurry outside." Aizawa told them. Soon enough, each of the students filed out of the classroom and hurriedly ran to the changing rooms. Each excited to change into their costumes. Izumi herself was over joyed, a few new things had been added to her uniform after all, she was excited to test them out.

While on the drive home, Izuku suddenly realized he'd never told Aizawa about this new team, a sly smile formed on his face as he realized the possible things this could lead to, he sure hoped that the man wouldn't cause any trouble.
