A/N: Sorry, after much internal debate there will be no Bottle Service. At least, not yet. Don't think it does enough to the story to justify the huge consequence to a certain character's psyche.
==========================================================
After more practice with his swordsmanship and getting ready for class, Izuku went and attended homeroom. Today is the day when the rest of his classmates are getting back from their internships.
The cool morning air hung heavy with tension as Iida Tenya, his face a mask of conflicting emotions, approached Izuku Midoriya on his way to the classroom.
"Midoriya-kun," Iida began, his voice tight with barely suppressed emotion, "I need to speak with you. It's about the... incident in Hosu."
Izuku turned, his expression a careful blend of concern and curiosity. "Of course, Iida. What is it?"
Iida hesitated, his eyes darting between Izuku and the ground. "I... I saw her. The girl... the villain who saved me from Stain."
Izuku's brows furrowed. "Himi? You saw Himi?"
Iida nodded, his voice barely a whisper. "She... she was terrifying. The way she fought, the things she said... she's a monster."
A shadow passed over Izuku's face. "Himi isn't a monster, Iida. She's... complicated."
"But she brutally killed Stain!" Iida protested, his voice rising in pitch. "She... she reveled in his suffering. She's dangerous, Midoriya-kun. You shouldn't associate with someone like that."
Izuku sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I know she can be... intense," he admitted. "But she's not evil, Iida. She's just... lost. And she was only protecting you."
"Protecting me?" Iida scoffed. "By slaughtering a man in cold blood? That's not protection, that's brutality!"
Izuku's gaze hardened. "I asked her to look out for you, Iida. I was worried you might do something you'd regret. Or worse, lose your life. But she... went a little overboard." He paused, choosing his words carefully. "There are things... forces at work in this world, Iida, that you might not understand yet. But trust me, Himi isn't the enemy here."
Iida stared at him, a mix of disbelief and frustration warring within him. He wanted to argue, to rail against Izuku's seemingly misplaced trust in a known killer. But the memory of Himiko's chilling words echoed in his mind, a stark reminder of the darkness that lurked beneath the surface of this world. And Izuku's words... they hinted at something more, something beyond his understanding.
He sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. "I... I understand, Midoriya-kun. But please, be careful. She's dangerous."
Izuku nodded, a solemn expression on his face. "I will, Iida. I promise."
He watched as Iida walked away, his heart heavy with a mixture of guilt and determination. He knew he had a lot to explain to Himiko, but first, he had a class to attend. And as he looked up at the sky, a thought echoed in his mind: 'They'll know soon enough. The truth about magic, about Evokers and Enchanters... it can't stay hidden forever. And when it does, I'll need all the allies I can get.'
As he made his way through the hallways of UA and opening the door to his class, Izuku looks around and sees all his friends have arrived safe and sound. Satisfied with the fact, he lets out a relieved sigh as he took his assigned seat.
The classroom erupted in raucous laughter as Bakugou stomped in, his hair slicked to the side in an unfamiliar style. "Seriously? Seriously, Bakugou?" Sero and Eijirou both wheezed, nearly choking on their drinks.
