To Accidentally Stir A Hornet's Nest

#4

The next day:

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Shinso asked, eyeing the building in front of him lazily.

Shoto shrugged, "They would probably recognise me and let us have the information."

"Uh... why are we doing this, again?"

Shoto looked at Shinso as if the latter was stupid, "We are going to confirm whether 'Creepy Dude' is indeed-"

"Ugh not that!" Shinso interrupted, "I mean, why? Like, why is creepy dude so keen on assuring us and why are we taking his word at face value and are now doing exactly what he wanted?"

"Maybe because he's a good Pro Hero?"

"...."

"I don't think he likes Endeavour as well."

Shinso sighed, "Let's just get the confirmation for now."

Shrugging, Shoto walked into the station followed by a nervous Shinso. The staff immediately recognised the former and let him in while some eyed Shinso with suspicion.

"A-Ah, Todoroki-san. How can I help you?" The officer at the front desk asked, standing up from his seat.

Shinso's face contorted into disgust at the submissive attitude. Is this how low people regard themselves with respect to power?

"I need to confirm a phone number. Do you have access?"

"I do, yes, indeed." The officer replied nervously, "I cannot, however, disclose information. May I know the number and what you need confirmed?"

Shoto gave him the number, "Does this number belong to a pro hero?"

The officer entered the number into the system and smiled at the result. "Indeed."

"Whose is it?" Shinso piped, causing the officer to frown.

"I'm sorry I cannot disclose the name and any other details to anyone."

Shoto tilted his head and pointed to himself, "How about me?"

"I'm sorry, Todoroki-san. This is classified. All I can do for you is confirm the details you already know."

Shrugging, the dual quirk user turned around and dragged Shinso out of the station.

"Hey what's wrong with you??!"

"Illegal quirk usage would land you in jail and me in trouble with my old man."

Shinso blinked and huffed, "I wasn't going to use my quirk!"

"You definitely were planning to."

"For someone oblivious, you sure have good Intuition."

Shoto smiled at the compliment, causing Shinso to sigh yet again. They stopped by the food court as Shinso promised to buy Shoto soba if he was right about the police giving him privilege. Shinso pulled his phone out to text the results in the group.

As soon as the kids left the station, the poor officer rushed into the authority room and dialed a number.

"They were here a-and I did just as y-you asked!"

"Oh? Good job!"

Morons Assemble

NocturnalPaintBrush: He is a pro hero.

WreckItAll: Really??
WreckItAll: Who is it?

FixItFelix: Woah he wasn't lying?

NocturnalPaintBrush: I couldn't get his name since it's confidential or something.
