But What If I Was Better? | Mob Joins UA

31 | Antiheroes Rising

Since this book is now including a lot more crossover stuff from other animes as well, feel free to ask any questions you may have in the comments. I would be happy to help answer those! It'll also help know where I may need to go back and explain things so future readers don't get confused either. Got it? Good! 👍
=============================

][ Previously: Mob and Zeya convinced each other to not give up on UA just yet. And turns out all the Nomu are made with the genetically modified blood of an ancient quirk user over 1k years old. ][

     "You do realize I work as a hero as well, right? It's not like I have time off on winter break.." Aizawa folded his arms. For now, it was only him and Nezu in the principle's office.

     Nezu sat like he normally did. Paws intertwined on his desk. "I understand that better than most, but this was the only way I could convince the school board to allow Kageyama to return home for the season. Everyone else is currently getting ready to leave and visit with their families. I wouldn't want to put our already unstable student under any more stress by refusing him time with his own loved ones. That would just be cruel... And, unfortunately you are the only one they allowed the boy to leave with."

     "I-.. Hhhh...." Aizawa rubbed his temples. "..Can I get a raise at least?"

     "Of course you can! Why, I'm surprised you don't ask more often."

----------

     Mob bounced anxiously in his seat, a heal of his tapping repeatedlyagainst the metallic ground. Aizawa slunk into his chair beside him, lacking the energy to tell the boy to stop. Eri sat across from Mob by the train window. A plastic table stood between their rows of seats, presently carrying nothing but a bunny plushie the girl carried around for emotional support. Mob was excited. Eri was nervous. Aizawa was meh.

     "Have any plans when you get there? Does your family usually celebrate the holidays?" Eri asked to get her mind off of how fast the train was going. Aizawa beside them was hardly able to keep his eyes open.

     "No, we don't really celebrate much, but I do have plans to help my friends find a Telepath!.. Apparently Tome left the club, and...." Mob's voice fizzled out of the man's ear as he drifted off to sleep. He wouldn't wake again until they arrived. Until then, it was up to Mob to calm and entertain the nervous little girl, who had tagged along thanks to Aizawa being her official caretaker. She'd be fine. Mob's hometown was known for being a pretty peaceful place!... As long as psychic powers weren't involved.

     Reigen was very busy. Mhm! The busiest!

     The twenty-eight year old man filled the quiet time in his office with a challenge: blowing an unwrapped straw from one side of his desk to another. In the back, Serizawa was showing an uninterested Jin how to brew a very specific kind of tea.

     "Yess! New record!" Reigen exclaimed as the straw at last tumbled onto the ground. Only took him five breaths that time! He was getting better at this!

      "Hey, boss," Blatantly interrupting Serizawa with a question of his, "when do you think Zeya's going to show up?"

     "Oh, I fired her yesterday." Both men shot their boss a shocked look.

   "Wait, WHAT?!" Both.
   "Didn't you just hire her, like, the day before?!"

     "I did, but she betrayed everyone's trust just yesterday by stealing something vital to Elyse's mission and using it to blackmail people into getting what she wants.
