This time I will protect them I won't be a coward

The next day before the Provisional Hero Licenses Exam.

Denki was called into the Principal's office during his history class. Denki shrugs at the curious gazes of his classmates thrown at him and excuses himself from the class.

Denki slowly walks into Principal Nezu's office and takes his seat in front of his desk while Nezu pushes a small square white box which contained his support weapon in it and a paper to be signed by Denki so that the sender can come to know that the support weapon has reached the right person.

After signing the papers, Nezu grabs the documents and places them in a file and Nezu stares with sparkling curiosity at the small box in front of him on his pristine mahogany table but does not ask Denki anything what is inside it but rather stares at Denki with a look of hunger for knowledge.

Then, breaks away from the stare and says, "Delight me".

Denki gives a soft smile at the white rodent in front of him and softly says, "Puzzles are a great activity when I need to piece my life back together".

Nezu blinks his eyes at Denki and bursts  laughing and says, "You're interesting and smart! Quite up my alley".

Denki smiles at Nezu beaming with cuteness at him.

It was the first time Denki heard Principal Nezu's genuine laugh.

Then, Principal Nezu happily jumps down from his chair and places two teacups on the table steaming with piping tea.

Denki stares at the tea in astonishment just when did the  little creature get the time to brew the tea.

The strong smell of something sweet and floral emitting from the steaming tea catches Denki off guard as he gets a whiff of the scent and he stares down at the tea and says with surprise, "Lavender tea?".

Nezu nods his head at Denki and says, "It's not good to be stressed all the time. My poor fur has suffered so much damage since the last three weeks" whimpers the little white mouse  in front of Denki while sipping the tea with delight.

Suddenly the Nezu snaps open his eyes and stares into Denki's golden eyes.

This action makes Denki let out a small eep sound.

"It's good to have it when it warms Denki-kun" tells the little creature softly and continues sipping on his tea.

Denki brings up the teacup to his lips and starts sipping it slowly letting the taste linger on his tongue before swallowing it.

After some time he could feel the unknown anxiety in his chest disappear. But the Black cat's monochrome sad eyes still linger in his mind.

'That was just a figment of his imagination right ?'.

Denki shakes his head and smiles at the pleasant taste of the tea.

Only to be brought back from his daze state when he hears the shutter of the camera going off.

Denki with a confused look stares at the giggling Principal in front of him typing away into his phone at god speed.

Apparently Nezu had sent the cute picture of Denki enjoying the tea into the UA staff group chat.

Beneath the photo of Denki it was written.
Having tea with my cute apprentice.

While Midnight immediately replies back to the group chat.
