31. Grudges

Getting summoned to the principal's office was like when you were back in middle school. Had you gotten in great trouble? Or were you gonna be given a pep talk? Or perhaps, they found out about your contact with All for One?

Each one filled you with dread. It was hard not to panic when you walked there at one in the morning. To be awake at this hour, it was probably serious.

You didn't want to find out.

You stood in front of the large door, built to include everyone inside. Maybe All Might, when he was still a hero. Which was your fault, you had not forgotten.

You opened the door, frowning when you saw both Katsuki and Izuku sitting there. Their shoulders were up to their heads, ashamed and avoiding eye-contact.

You blinked before glancing at their bandaged arms. They had fought, hadn't they?

"Hello, Miss (Y/n)!" Nezu greeted you cheerfully even when the air was tense. "I called you here to speak with you and your classmates. Please, take a seat."

Once you had, you noticed that All Might and Aizawa were standing on either side of you.

"The fight between Young Midoriya and Young Bakugo was motivated by my retirement. Young Bakugo had felt a lot of guilt since my retirement."

You glanced at Katsuki, who flinched when his name was mentioned.

"And because you were the other person who was kidnapped, we figured you might be feeling the same way." All Might crouched before you, holding your shoulder. "You feel as if you burden everyone with a single small mistake."

You tuned out his words. You didn't want to cry today, in front of everyone. So you stared into his eyes, mind blank. Once he was finished, he smiled. You blinked.

"Well, I'm glad to have a student like you. You've taught me a lot about the sensitive side of humanity and enjoying the small things." He patted your head, "I don't blame you for anything that happened. It was my duty to save you."

You smiled. Yeah. It was his duty, wasn't it? It was never your fault. It never was.

"Yes, however, we're a bit skeptical. You have a lot of power, do you not? Then how were you not able to escape?" Nezu's cheerful voice filled you with dread.

All eyes were on you. You shrunk into yourself. Weren't you already interrogated by the police? Why is this happening again?

You searched through your fake memories. All for One did a great job implementing it into your memories. Those fake memories carried emotional distraught that you could not control.

Oh, your dad. Always looking out for you. Always taking care of you, and always keeping you safe.

Sometimes you wondered if the fake memories he gave you were actually real. And the memories that you had with him were fake.

You cried, your breathing beginning to pick up. All Might was quick to react, pulling you to him so he could hug you.

"Principal Nezu, I'm afraid it's a little too hard on her to ask that question. It would be best to wait until she's fully recovered." All Might patted your back with pity.

"I'm greatly sorry, (Y/n)." Nezu frowned, a bit guilty that he had produced such a traumatic reaction from you.

You opened your eyes and glanced at him with your glossy eyes. Nezu flinched at the grudges that hid beneath them. You closed them again, taking one final sigh before the tears stopped pouring.

Nezu would have to be careful. You were an s-tier level threat, to all of Japan and the world. You had the power to do anything, it was in the grasp of your hand.
