Mahoraga Deku (Nah he'd adapt)

Chapter 11: Where Heroes Begin

Waiting outside the door to the principal's office was Izuku. He was somewhat nervous about whatever Nezu wanted to speak to him about. Fidgeting, glancing around; all signs of nervousness he never thought would resurface after so many years. He didn't know why they were, considering he's had... a lot worse.

Nezu's voice came up from the office. "Midoriya, you may enter."

Izuku opened the door and came inside. He looked down at Nezu who was standing there with his hands behind his back. It felt weird, with how small Nezu was, that he was the principal but nevertheless it didn't take away from the creature's authority. "So you wanted to speak to me sir?"

"Yes. Come sit down and grab a cup of tea. We have quite the discussion to have." Nezu turned and went to his desk. Sitting and picking up his own tea cup to drink from it.

Izuku quietly sat on the chair on the other side of the table.

"So, I bet you are wondering as to what this discussion will be about?"

"Yeah, I was wondering about that." Izuku rubbed the back of his head.

Nezu took a sip of his tea before responding. "My, my, it seems you are quite nervous. My apologies if it does rattle your nerves but be assured it's not anything bad. Just impactful rather. Out discussion will be about your future."

Izuku, was not relieved by any of the words Nezu just spoke but his focus was at least on something else. His future? He wondered about what it would be on specifically. "Okay. So what about then future then?"

"Oh well I mean your future at UA and beyond. Simply put what you'll want to do in life. Due to you being put under UA and therefore me it is my duty to ensure your future, first of all, reclamation."

"Reclamation?" Asked Izuku. He barely knew that word, and let alone what it was referring to.

"By your tone I can see you are more confused than you should be." He put his tea cup down. "To put it simply you are going to have to catch up with what you need to know at your age. I admire how your use of language has developed despite your captivity but there is still a lot to learn. Not to mention other things you will need to develop which you haven't been able to for a long time. Mathematics, science and current events. Law and so on and so forth. I hope that explains it."

Izuku nodded at the explanation. "Oh, thank you for that sir. So how will that happen?"

"SIMPLE!" cheered the mouse, bear, dog, Lord I give up on trying. "You are in a school after all. Which means that you are in the hands of those who can teach. LIKE ME! I will handle most of the work with leading all logical subjects."

"Wait are you sure? I don't want to burden you, I can see being a principal is kinda hard to keep going." Izuku was, worried but thankful. Worried about how much Nezu wanted to give but thankful about it.

Nezu chuckled at that. "Oh nonsense. It will barely add to my workload. I fully insist as the other teachers have quite the burden with the academic year coming to an end."

Izuku gulped. "Are you sure Mr. Principal? I don't want to add too much."

"Well I applaud your care I have to add that it's simply my duty and my want as well."

"Oh, well then I guess you have to then... but why do you want to sir? Thank you for it but why though sir?"

"Well simply put, I know your situation all too well. I doubt you are aware of my past."

"No sir, I'm not aware of it." Said Izuku. He rubbed the back of his neck. What did Nezu mean by knowing about his situation all too well? If he had to guess though, with how it was going, it had to do with something with cruel experiments maybe.
