Izuku and Nezu sat at a long table, eating the food in silence. Dinner passed smoothly, without much of a word.

Izuku went to bed, and woke up. He got ready.

Everything was normal.

Was.

For one, when Izuku woke up and reported to Nezu's office for the plan for the day, Nezu popped out from his desk drawer. "I believe it is good to be punctual!" The cat-mouse-bear thing exclaimed.

"Umm... what were you doing in the desk drawer...?" Izuku asked with a 'what the hell' look on his face.

"I was sleeping. Everyone needs sleep."

"...Don't you live in a luxurious penthouse at the highest floor of the building known as the most prestigious school in Japan for heroes?"

"Yes. Yes I do."

"Well okay then." Izuku said. It was too early in the morning to deal with Nezu's... peculiar quirk, mind the pun.

Nezu cleared his throat. "Today we will be going around to the classrooms, and you will be assessing them. Assessing a situation or villain is an important skill to have as a hero, and since you already have that strength, why not strengthen the strength?"

"Yes, Sensei." Izuku nodded his head, and Nezu smiled. "We will be going out and patrolling for some hands-on experience. To be honest, you would already make a good enough hero now, Izuku. But you lack experience, and in-battle experience with real life situations to be specific. Also, there's always room for improvement, and I'm sure you 'Dad' would agree."

Izuku shuddered at the harsh training that Aizawa would put him through when it was his half of the internship.

"Now, since it is 5:27 in the morning, let's go patrol until the students arrive!" Nezu hopped off the desk cheerfully and walked out the door, Izuku following reluctantly, grumbling something about 'child abuse' under his breath.



"AAAAAAHHH!!!!"

Izuku's head shot up, alerted by the sound.

"Now Izuku, a scream is always a good place to start when a villain attacks. Let's go check it out!" Nezu scuttled - yes, scuttled, towards the alley where the sound came from.

There the two saw a villain with pale blue hair hunched over a random civilian with his hand outstretched.

"Give me... your Nintendo Switch..." The villain rasped.

"Shigaraki?" Izuku asked, recognizing the villain from the USJ incident and his... temporary stay at their hideout.

The man seemed to recognize Izuku as well, but seemed to be entranced by the woman holding the Nintendo Switch. "Give me... your NINTENDO SWITTTCHHH!!!!" Shigaraki screamed, and the woman threw the console at him and ran away, panicked.

"Izuku, quickly!" Nezu shouted urgently, and Izuku sprung into action. He lunged for Shigaraki, and tried to pin the man down.

"Shigaraki Tomura!" A mist man stepped out of a purple portal - Kurogiri. The man made a portal underneath Shigaraki, and the villain sunk into it. Nezu tried to get to Kurogiri, but the man swiftly plunged right back into the misty purple and disappeared.

"Hmm..." Nezu sounded frustrated. "Well, it still was a good experience."

Izuku just stood there, shocked.

"Izuku?" Nezu asked.

"I... I wanted the Nintendo Switch..."

Nezu facepalmed. "Oh good. Here we go..."



A FEW HOURS LATER...

Class 1-B students came pouring into the classroom, and Izuku recognized a few - Kendo Itsuka, Shinsou Hitoshi (who was moved to Class B after the Heroics Course).

Of course, he saw his fellow conspirator, Monoma Neito.

Nezu walked in, and the class shushed quickly.

"What is Principal Nezu doing in our class?" One student whispered.

"Does it have to do with our internships? We are leaving tomorrow, after all..." Another whispered.

"Hello, Hero Course B students! For those of you who don't know me, I'm the principal of this fine school, Nezu. You may be wondering why we are here."

Shinsou raised his hand.

"Yes?" Nezu asked.

"What do you mean by we, sir? There's only you here."

Nezu grinned. He walked behind the teacher's desk and opened a drawer. He proceeded to pull out a bright green sleeping bag. (Again, Mary Freakin' Poppins)

The class gazed at the scene with surprise and confusion, but Shinsou's eyes flashed in recognition. "Midoriya!" Shinsou greeted as the handsome green-haired green-eyed boy climbed out of the caterpillar device.

"Yo, Shinsou." The boy greeted him with a tired wave. Always tired.

"This is Midoriya Izuku, who you might remember from his memorable performance in the Sports Festival. He is interning under me, and before you do your internships, we will have you engage in an intense training session.

"What kind of training session? And what do you mean by intense?" Itsuka asked.

Nezu grinned - a creepy, foreboding kind of grin that gave you the feeling you were in for it.

"You'll be fighting the winner of the Sports Festival, the strongest of this year, and Eraserhead and my pupil."

"Who is it?" A student asked, and they all leaned in.

Nezu grinned wider.

"Midoriya Izuku, the young man next to me."


Said boy was asleep on the floor.


I would write more, but I like ending it with suspense   ;)

I'll update again on the weekend maybe.

Eh.

I'll try.
