Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 8 - And you filled me up with hate

"Dad, why didn't Midoriya get into the hero course?"

Aizawa blinked as he plopped his capture weapon on the table. The USJ had been attacked, like Nezu said, and while the damn misty portal, the hand-covered man and their big black monster had escaped the second they noticed all the heros standing around, alongside All Might, they had to round up the other hundred or so villains that had dropped into the facility.

The public just knew that Nezu had somehow predicted the attack after the presumed infiltration the previous day, but in reality, he had revealed to all the UA teachers, as well as Tsukauchi, that Void had been the one to alert him of the imminent attack.

It was more annoying than dangerous, rounding up so many villains who decided it would be nice to attack UA. At least no one was hurt, and that most of the villains were in jail. None of the other students knew about the attack, since Nezu had decided to distract the students by giving a very long lecture to all three grades at the same time.

"Why are you asking?"

"Uraraka said he saved her from the zero pointer, and I know that there are rescue points. Mineta and Hagakure got thirty four points, and if he managed to stop the zero pointer to rescue her, I thought he'd get a lot more points."

Aizawa sighed, and sank into the couch.

"It's complicated."

"I bet." Shinsou moved over to plop himself down next to Aizawa.

"Rescue points are... given by five teachers and Nezu. None of us were the ones giving rescue points. Not Ectoplasm, Yamada, Recovery Girl, none of the teachers that teach you are in charge of that. Most of the other teachers... they may be a bit biased towards Midoriya." Aizawa groaned. "Also, because we're keeping track of so many students, usually the people flashier quirks will get more attention because it is easier to see. Honestly, after looking through the camera feeds, Midoriya should have gotten a much higher score, but most of his rescuing wasn't noticed by the other teachers. Nezu did point it out, but we can't change the scores after the exam had finished."

"That's dumb." Shinsou snorted.

"It is true, as much as I hate it." Aizawa growled, "We get distracted when there's a huge explosion or something like it. And Midoriya with his EMP.... even Nezu couldn't give him a very high score because he did stop the zero-pointer in a very precarious position, though it did buy him time to rescue Uraraka. The other teachers were skeptical since he had an EMP, and gave him a really low score since they assumed he knew about the rescue points. He still got an impressive thirty three though, given that a lot of his points were skipped over. Although I am curious as to why Midoriya even had an EMP in the first place."

"So, he can still get in from the Sports Festival, right?"

"Probably, if he can win. Robots are a lot sturdier than humans, but the students have pretty powerful quirks that he will have to find a way to get around. Just look at Todoroki, Midoriya will have a hard time just getting near him." Aizawa sighed, "I am curious to see how he'll perform, though.".

Shinsou looked around for the mop of green hair, before he found Midoriya standing at the doorway to the cafeteria.

He gave a quick wave, and Midoriya turned in his direction, before he weaved his way through the crowd of people. He finally made his way to Shinsou's table, and Uraraka and Iida raised his eyebrows at the General Education student.

He gestured towards the seat opposite Shinsou, beside Iida, and Shinsou nodded, "It's empty, go ahead."

He caught the questioning looks from Iida and Uraraka, and Shinsou just replied, "I invited him."
