Professor Paradox

Chapter 24: Stain

...

"Get on going, you all have a busy day tomorrow"
Midoriya said, walking back over to Aizawa.
The class looked at Midoriya, smiled, and got on going.
They didn't know how to exactly express their gratitude to him, but they knew at the minimum a smile would suffice.

"what was that about?"
Aizawa asked.

"just an inconvenience"

"you didn't need to embarrass him like that"

"nah the kid needed a reality check."

It was late in the night. The moon sat high in the sky, not a cloud in sight to shield it away. A chill of wind flew on past, whistling through the empty alleyways. The streets were mostly empty, with the sports festival to be the next day, many people knew they would need a good night's sleep for the energy they'd need.

Midoriya approached the exit door of the base, silent as usual.
He had just finished up some experimenting, barely progressing with his research to make the Nomu intelligent.
Before he exited, he was stopped.

"You know"
AFO said, appearing from out of the dark corner of the room where his chair sat.
He stood up, approaching Midoriya.
Midoriya paused, halfway turned to face his brother.
"Stain is really active as of recent"
He said.

Midoriya raised a brow, "yes? He is. So?"

"Are you not worried for your students? He's targeting heroes you know"
AFO taunted.

"He isn't targeting children. He's more a vigilante than he is a villain, I've already read up on his ideology. He isn't a threat to my students"
Midoriya explained, ready to exit.

"What do you do if he does?"

Midoriya peered at him, barely turning his head. "What are you getting at with this?"

"Oh nothing. I wouldn't go against our deal."

"Yeah, but you would try to find loopholes."

"You got me there"

"I'll know if you send anyone to hurt my students."

"I wasn't planning on anything. "

"..ok..
I'm going to get going now"

"careful.
You might run into him"

"As if. "
Midoriya pushed open the door and exited, leaving AFO behind.

Midoriya walked through the alleyways.
Rats and mice scurried on passed, carrying whatever scraps they could find.
It was a chilly night, but not too bad overall.

Once he was far enough from the league's base, he took off his annoying mask.
He didn't like wearing it too much but he knew he needed to when it came to suspicious activities.

As he walked, he found himself lost in thought.
"Tomorrow, well technically today since it's 12am, the sports festival will take place.
It isn't far fetched to believe there will be some kind of increase in criminal activity.
With all the heroes at the stadium, not many people remain to guard the streets.

But the league isn't active and there aren't any other growing villain groups that Japan is really worried about.
So realistically, there probably won't be too big of an issue.

I'm going to be a commentator so I hope so-"
Midoriya thought to himself, suddenly pausing in his step as he heard an odd noise.
"what was that?"
He thought to himself, going over to investigate.
He turned down a couple alleyways and found himself in a situation he really thought he wouldn't be apart of.
