Professor Paradox

Chapter 18: Agreements

...

"Where do I sign"
Midoriya asked.

AFO handed him a pen, "at the bottom of the page" he replied.

Midoriya read over the page once more before signing his signature and exchanging papers with AFO so he could sign as well.
They both signed each other's papers.
Midoriya took his paper, folded it, and stored it away in his pocket.

"What's the rule for breach in contract?"
Midoriya asked, realizing they hadn't discussed it.

"If I breach the contract, you have permission to kill me. If you breach contract, I have permission to kill your disciple- seeing as how you're immortal"
AFO said.

"...so the same terms as all our other contracts"

"Precisely.
Now, since you're working with me I'll show you around."

"Before that.
I have questions"

"What else now?"

"Tomura Shigaraki...
When did you become a father...??"
Midoriya asked, his eyes wide.

AFO laughed, confusing Midoriya even further.
"he's not my biological child nor is he properly adopted.
He's someone I took in after an incident in his life, you could say he's my disciple. "

"then why does he share our father's last name?"

"I gave it to him so he could have a fresh start with a new name. "

"why was he kept secret for all this time?"

"ha, that's really a question? You wouldn't dare allow me raise a child into villainy no matter his origin story. Had you found out about him when he was younger and you'd probably take him away, raise him yourself or throw him into another country's adoption system far from me"
AFO laughed.

Midoriya sighed, he wasn't wrong. Those were things he would do, had he found out sooner.
"I'm surprised you took in a disciple. It's been centuries.
Why now?"

"I don't need to explain everything to you."

Midoriya furrowed his brows before shaking his head and returning back to neutral.
"He knew who I was. What did you tell him?"

"Why do you want all these irrelevant details?"

"they're not exactly irrelevant"

"I told him who you were. In relation to me, one for all, UA, and history. "

"so everything. "

"yes."

"except for my quirk?"

AFO fell silent, realizing that of all the information he had given Tomura that his quirk was left out of the consideration.

"He was surprised when he found out his quirk didn't work against me."

AFO shook his head, "I don't know how that of all things slipped my mind"

"Neither do I"

They fell silent before AFO stood up and approached the door
"Let me show you to your lab so you don't bother me looking for it.
I'll inform the league of your contract with us so you aren't attacked whilst here"

Midoriya nodded his head and followed behind.

AFO opened the door which led back to the lounging area of the base.
There, Tomura and Kurogiri were spotted.

Kurogiri drank tea at the coffee table and Tomura sat in his chair playing games on his phone.
He glanced up and found AFO and Midoriya walking through.
