I Don't Run An Orphanage!

Chapter 89

I Am the Bone of my Sword

Alright, so let's answer some questions.

Firstly, someone asked how long does the writing have to last for Alice's quirk to work. Ok. So if what Alice wrote was destroyed before it could take effect, or while it's taking effect, her quirk will be neutralized.

Second question, does it matter what she uses to write? No. It does not matter what she uses to write, or what she writes on. The only thing that matters, is that she can understand what's she's writing, meaning it does have to legible. She also does have to write it herself, meaning she can't use something like letter blocks or fridge magnets.

also, someone called Alice's quirk minor fate manipulation. And I wouldn't say that's accurate.

Fate manipulation involves more than just controlling people's actions, it's also about controlling probability and some other factors.

For example, if Alice could do something like write "3:00, a pen will fall off a desk." that would be minor fate manipulation.

However, Alice can't control intimate objects.

I'd say what she does is less minor fate manipulation and more mental manipulation on a mass scale. Which can seem like Fate manipulation if done right.

Although this all depends on strictly you define fate manipulation. Technically speaking if you kill someone you could call that Fate manipulation as you are deciding their fate so, I guess if you really wanted to call this a form of fate manipulation, then you wouldn't technically be wrong.

Speaking of Fate. Time to get onto the chapter.

"I'd like to apply for the bodyguard position."

Izuku was utterly flabbergasted.

He was just laying down on his bed, and his phone rang.

And someone called him. And asked to apply for a job.

Now, really that shouldn't be surprising, because that's really how it's supposed to go. He was only taken off guard because of the way, the last bodyguard applied for the position.

"Oh, um. I suppose I could set up an interview. And I'll have to test your abilities." Izuku responded. "Give me your name, and number. I'll do a background check and I'll call you to tell you the date of the interview."

"Right. My name is Sai Bura." The woman on the phone explained. "And my number is-"

"Wait a minute!" Izuku blurted out in shock. "As in, THAT Sai Bura! As in the former pro hero Saber!?"

"...Yes." The woman said reluctantly. "The very same."

"I-that-uh...well I suppose testing your abilities is unnecessary then," Izuku said in utter disbelief.

"No, it's been a while since I was active. It would be good to make sure my abilities are still up to par." Sai insisted, her voice firm and unwavering.

"Well, if you insist," Izuku responded. "I suppose the background check won't take as long then. Your history is well documented. I'm still going to do some research, but everything should be fine. You can come around in a couple of days, and I'll have everything set up for you by then."

"I see. Thank you." Sai said.

XXXXXXXXX

A few days later, Sai came into Izuku's office, for Izuku's first-ever interview.

"Welcome, please make yourself comfortable," Izuku said gesturing to the chair opposite his desk.

"Thank you." Sai nodded respectfully, sitting down.
