MHA: A Cat's Way

Ch 94 Fuck Nighteye

Couldn't think of a chapter title, so...

Nighteye sips tea across from Nezu, showing no hints of his impatience. Leaning against the wall to his left is Eraserhead, the lower half of his face hidden behind his scarf. The outsider to the school puts his cup down with a sigh, the delicate dishes making a slight click as they meet. He looks up and meets the principal's eyes as he folds one leg above his other knee and holds it with both hands.

"Let us not play around the main topic: how is the girl's training coming along?"

Nezu's face doesn't change, his inhumane features giving nothing away. "You would have to narrow down your question, I fear. UA does in fact train a number of female students who wish to obtain a hero license."

Nighteye huffs in annoyance, holding back a roll of his eyes. "You should not play coy, Nezu. It doesn't fit your intelligence."

Eraserhead tenses, a glare being sent Nighteye's way before Nezu waves both men off. "I find that whatever emotions I choose to feel, or how I decide to act, fits my intelligence quite well, thank you." He puts his tea down more gently than Nighteye did, not making a sound from the action before he folds his paws over each other. "I am me, after all. So all my actions fit with my intelligence, as they are also a part of me."

Nighteye's eyes narrow before he sighs. He truly dislikes dealing with the chimera, he can never just accept the fact that the bottom line is sometimes more important than the connecting line. "The girl rescued from the raid on the Shie Hassaikai compound. Has her training shown results?"

Nezu glances at Eraserhead, who lets out a small groan of annoyance. "We are progressing towards the point where she has control over whether or not it activates."

Nighteye raises an eyebrow as he looks at the Underground hero. "While that is a good thing, can she at least control how much time she rewinds on a person?"

The teacher glowers at the man, his voice taking on a hard edge. "As I said, we've been helping her to gain control on activating her exceedingly dangerous quirk. So no, we have not had her attempt to control the amount of time she rewinds on a person. You know, given the fact that if she fails to stop in time she could erase them from existence!"

The two glare at each other for a few minutes before Nighteye abruptly gets to his feet, adjusting his suit. "Well, that is rather disappointing. I was hoping that she would be far enough along to complete the task required of her."

"And what task would that be, Sir Nighteye?" Nezu asks with a challenging look and a monotone voice.

"Restoring All Might to his prime, of course!" Nighteye rolls his eyes like it should be obvious before stepping towards the door. "I do hope that she makes better progress while your students attend their internships. It would be a shame if the HPSC came to the conclusion that UA couldn't provide a proper teacher. It would mean that they would need to have their own trainers ensure she has enough of a basic competency to not be a danger to others."

He opens the door and steps out, throwing one last set of words over his shoulder as the door closes with a click. "I hope to hear better news the next time I visit."

Nezu takes another sip of tea as the two remain silent, waiting for the pro to start making his way out of the building. After checking the sensors to ensure he's at least out of the hallway, Nezu activates a device that checks for bugs. He sighs when it pings one on the desk and one on the door, Aizawa swiftly destroying them and throwing them down the incinerator chute.

Why does the principal of a high school have an incinerator chute in his office? Many reasons. At this moment it is because it ensures that what he wants destroyed, gets destroyed.
