When Izuku arrived at UA, he was surprised to find Momo already there. He hadn't invited her to this, as there was no time, but still... "Hey, good to see you."
"And you." She smiled warmly at his arrival. "I had hoped to catch you before arriving here. I have some evidence that may make the meeting go more... smoothly."
"Going above and beyond. I shouldn't be surprised." He smiled back.As they entered, she explained, "I am mobilizing my family's lawyers in this endeavor, but I need to know... was what they said fundamentally true?"
"It depends on which part, I suppose. Did I hit him? Yes. But that was because what he wanted me to do would have killed a fellow student."
That made her stop. "What?!"
"I can't go over specifics... but Allmight was given a... piece of support gear. It greatly boosted his capability until he was able to be that naturally strong. Nighteye wanted me to give it to somebody else... but based on previous users... as it was an old piece of gear... it would have killed the next user if not given to someone who can use it. Nighteye had a candidate in mind."
"I... think I get it. Still, a secret that big... and he broke it?"
"No, that's the thing, he didn't. Not technically. It's a state secret, but Toshi... sorry, Allmight entrusted it to me." He looked at the administration building, "And I intend to honor his trust."
For the first time in a long while, Nezu was challenged, mentally, with what was happening. He had lost Allmight. He had lost Aizawa from a secure position. Nighteye had jeopardized One for All in his efforts to get back at Midoriya, the new designator of OFA... and Apollyon acting in the background... It was a terrible series of events.
There were positives. Lawbringer volunteering for minimal pay? Priceless. It was clear that his own goal was to go after Apollyon... but why remained a mystery, especially since he never spoke a word about life before his own arrival. He was delightfully simple.
Getting Bubble Girl away from Nighteye after finding out his abusive tendencies... was a plus. It was some leverage over the man... not that it mattered in the end. Especially with his petty streak.
A camera alert pinged his personal computer, revealing that two students... expected, of course, had arrived at his door. Before they could knock, he'd open it remotely... one of the few ways he could still have some control over the situation. Smiling politically, he welcomed the two children into his office. "Midoriya, Yaoyorozu. To what..."
"We all know why we're here, Nezu." Izuku interrupted. "At least, for the most part." His gaze was unflinchingly resolute, and, most importantly... it was lacking patience. He had been pushed to his limit, and was just... done with authority figures. Or more specifically, everyone else involved with One for All. Momo being there, however, was not expected at all.
However, before the unknown mammal could ponder that particular problem... Izuku interrupted his thoughts. "Can you do anything about this?"
"Well... I could... but only because of the allegations against the school..."
"So only to shift blame." Midoriya sighed. Running a hand through his hair, he just looked done with it all. After all, ever since he started being at UA, he's had nothing but trouble. Be it from Bakugo, other classes, his own teachers, and now, the principal was doing nothing. "Ever since I tried actually trying to achieve my dream... I've had nothing but headaches and events that threaten my future. I will not continue to suffer because the world thinks I'm a worthless relic of the past. Not without a fight. And you are going to help."
