Green eyes looking down the polished bluestone floor is what the UA Staff witnessed as Izuku Midoriya entered the conference room. They could see the nervousness and guilt in the young man's eyes. They could sympathize with him, they also feel the pressure of losing All Might, a co-worker and also a friend to some of them.
But they have no time to mourn as they have much to discuss.
"Young Izuku, I am glad that you are able to join us today. Have a seat." Nezu said, as he ushered Izuku to sit down on a vacant chair.
Izuku didn't make any move nor looked over at the chair being offered to him as he looked up straight towards the chimera, who he saw was pouring tea on an empty teacup. Observing the slight shaking in the Principal's hand as he poured his drink, Izuku could tell that the man/rat was feeling nervous, it was subtle but still noticeable if you really focused on it.
As he looked up to the Principal, he noticed two other figures by him. Beside him was a middle-aged woman with a stoic expression wearing a black suit jacket and dress, along with a purple shirt and necklace. She has slicked back ash blonde hair and a set of turquoise eyes.
Behind the woman was a lanky middle-aged man with beige, chin-length, messy hair. Izuku could see that the man was wearing a black formal suit and white undershirt and black loose tie. The man's eyes have noticeable eyebags akin to those of Aizawa's.
Seeing Izuku noticing the other two, Nezu spoke up, catching the young man's attention. "This is the President of the Hero Public Safety Commission. She is here to join us as we talk about your future not only as a hero, but also your status here as a hero course student."
"We would also like to talk about the aftermath of the Kamino Incident." the President said. The Blacklight user flinched at the mention of that and made him lower his head.
His quirk-enhanced anxiety began to torment his mind. The woman also looked at Izuku with a look as if she was studying him, maybe even judging him. Which didn't help. 'So this is it, huh? The end of my hero career? They're going to arrest me now, huh? Why am I surprised? I just killed, no—slaughter someone in live-television for the entirety of Japan to see.'
Seeing the distress in the young man's face, the President spoke up once more. "There is no need to worry about it, Izuku Midoriya. Despite the... graphic elimination of All For One, I can assure you that you did the right thing. Even if it is fueled with vengeance and intense emotion." the woman stated.
That caused confusion on Izuku's part. "W-what?" he said, unintelligently.
Nezu chuckled at his reaction. "I believe that what Madam President is talking about is that your actions during the Kamino Ward Raid will not affect your early induction as a hero. Since your actions are seen as an impulse to eliminate the threat before he goes on a widespread killing spree." he said, before adding. "That and Endeavor took the fall for you."
Izuku blinked at that. He was about to ask what that even means, when another voice spoke up. "Turns out, Endeavor took the blame for planning the raid and publicly said that it was him who gave you orders to kill All For One after the villain killed All Might." There was venom in the man's voice when he mentioned All For One.
Looking over at the owner of the voice, he saw Naomasa Tsukauchi sitting beside Aizawa. The police detective gave him a reassuring smile.
"W-why would he take the blame?" Izuku asked, disbelief can be heard in his voice. "It was me who planned the raid. Why would he..." he was cut off, when Tsukauchi spoke up again.
"I believe he did it to protect your name." he said, causing Izuku to look at him with a confused look. "From what I gathered, Mr. Number 2, despite his temperance and intimidating stature, he respects you in some shape or form and sees potential in you."
