My Hero Academia: Aspirations

Chapter 2

A/N: As a reminder, I will give the reader character a name and vague description for storytelling purposes. However I will not focus on either; I try to keep things vague without using fill in the blanks.

Aspirations
Chapter 2

You sat on the mattress and stared ahead at your wall. In your new suite's bedroom there was a wall that was devoid of furniture of any kind. Instead it was painted with your favorite nature scape. The other walls were done in the primary color of the scene. And the two attached rooms to the bedroom were done in complementary colors as well. Not to mention that the furniture all matched not only every piece in the suite but it matched the painted scene as well. Someone with a meticulous eye had done everything; you were beyond impressed.

"Will this be sufficient for your living quarters?"

Your attention turned to the animal with a quirk that let him be far more human than he had a right to be. Not only that but he was the principal of one of the most prestigious hero training schools - Nezu. The...man...stood there looking positively pleased and radiating confidence though he wasn't being boastful about it.

"What happens if I am terminated from the position or forced to resign?"

"We will, of course, give you ample notice in the case of termination. At which point you will be given the severance package we talked about as well as a month to find new accommodations. The same will apply if you resign. However, I don't believe either of these options are likely to happen in the future do you?"

You said nothing as you went over all of the details. The position that your great aunt, Recovery Girl, had basically given you was very multi-faceted. You were to assist her with the students, with an emphasis on the first years (class A) whom seemed to attract the most trouble. You would help with the staff as well. If the situation called for it you would act like a legal guardian for the aforementioned class. And on top of all that it was basically a twenty-four-seven job; like motherhood. The cons were enormous...but so were the pros. The principal had no issues with you continuing your practice; he had even promised to set you up a small office right across the street from the school so that your clientele didn't need clearance to enter the premises. As long as you weren't needed for an emergency you could maintain your second job. Not only that but the medical benefits (not that you needed them) were comprehensive. Judging by the suite you were now in the company provided housing was amazing. And the pay was nothing to be ashamed of either. He had definitely front loaded you with all of the positives of the position to cushion the negatives. And he'd shown you the housing situation at the end to once more discuss the very desirable aspects of the job.

You'll do well here.

"With all of this...how can I refuse? You've even done up the room for me."

The space was far superior to the apartment you'd been renting. You had a hand painted landscape wall for crying out loud! Not to mention it was a perk of the job and not something you would have to pay rent for. The only downside was that because it was on school grounds, in the same building as the students nonetheless, it really did enhance how on call you were at all hours.

"Excellent! Welcome to UA," Principal Nezu replied. "We can have your things brought here as soon as tomorrow if you'd like to stay the night to break in your new accommodations."

"Don't take this the wrong way but I can't. I didn't pack a change of clothes."

"Recovery Girl took care of that. If you look in the dresser drawers you will find a couple selections."

...wow your aunt was very thorough. You supposed the "great" in great aunt wasn't just for show. It must have come from her years as pro-hero support. Mutely you nodded. The almost-human animal smiled once more and with a final farewell headed out. You continued to sit on the bed as you pondered over just how thoroughly you'd been trapped.
