the mechanic book 3 the trial arc

chapter 39

*Nejire was surprised to see the UA unofficial most wanted sitting in the office.*

Nejire: Mi, Midoriya, this is quite the surprise, and who's your friend?

Izuku:hm. Well, seeing as I'll need you for my case, it's not really that surprising, and don't worry, he's just my protection; he's harmless unless you give him a reason not to be.

Nejire: your case? What are you talking about?

Masaru: That will be explained if you sit down, please. Can I get you anything? Tea, coffee? Maybe a muffin?

Nejire: A banana muffin and some water, please.

*Nejire said as she sat down, almost instantly a water bottle and a banana muffin appeared on the table, almost as if it were glitched there.*

Masaru: marvelous, there you go. Now let's get into the nitty-gritty, and then you can show us all your vacation photos. If you want, I'm sure you must have hundreds of photos of Penelope.

*Nejire looked at Masaru shocked; Masaru, on the other hand, just kept smiling like nothing happened.*

Nejire: How did you...

Masaru: I'm not one of the top 5 lawyers in the country for no reason; I know everything about my clients; there's a reason why I've never lost a case; now shall we get started?

Nejire: Yes, I want to divorce my husband, Mirio Togata, since he completely betrayed my trust, and honestly, I...

Nejire hugged herself; her feelings for Tamaki aside, there was still a part of her that loved Mirio, or at least the man he used to be.

Nejire:I just don't feel safe with him anymore; he's become obsessed with making things right with Izuku Midoriya next to me, to the point...

Izuku: To the point where he tried to use my daughter as a way to get to me. I don't understand why he would, all because of a quirk that would make my limbs explode if I used it now.

*Izuku said darkly. They all heard Zuku's cane crack with how hard he was holding it, but they ignored it.*

Masaru:yes. I understand your fear; you have nothing to worry about with all the evidence we've got, like, for example, when he went on live television showing proof that he's been stalking a 14-year-old girl. I can promise you that you will end up getting everything in the divorce, even his hero agency; it will all be yours.

Nejire: ok. And how does Midoriya fit into all of this?

Izuku: Well, truth be told, I don't. It's the opposite; your divorce fits into my lawsuit with Mirio and UA to destroy them both.

Nejire had to do a double take, looking at Izuku as if he had lost his mind.

Nejire: And what makes you think I would let you use me like that?!

Izuku: I don't, you see, unlike the hero association or nezu, I won't lie to you, nor will I manipulate you to do what I ask you to do. No, I'll be completely honest with you. I don't care about you, not even a little. I don't care about your life or what's happening with you and Tamaki. What I do care for is Eri, and Mirio harmed her by using you to harm her, giving her trust issues, and making her cutting habit so much worse. You owe her at least this much, or maybe you just like the rest. What was it that my father called them? Ah, yes, fake heroes.

*Izuku said coldly. *Nejire sighed and thought about it for a minute.

Nejire:fine... I'll... I'll be part of your plan to take out Mirio, but why UA? What do you have against them?

Izuku:mostly about how they did absolutely nothing to the bullying of my daughter; they just turned a blind eye, and when objections were told, Nezu would ignore them.
