Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 34 - Your Starlight

Midoriya felt that something had happened while he was gone. The vibe he had gotten from his classmates were definitely different from when he had left in the morning, but Midoriya couldn't figure out what it was.

"Ah, Midoriya, you're back." Iida smiled, having hastily slammed the laptop lid shut when he heard footsteps outside of the classroom. He had already created the class chat, with Aizawa's permission, and had shared the document with everyone in 1-A.

"We all decided that having a class chat would be beneficial to everyone, but I do not have your phone number. Homeroom will end soon, so I will add you to the chat later. Can you give me your phone number?" Iida asked, taking his phone out and passing it to Midoriya.

Midoriya's eyes narrowed as he hesitantly took Iida's phone and inputted his number, before handing the phone back to Iida. His phone was filled with messages from his old classmates, and as much as Midoriya knew it was wishful thinking, he really didn't want anymore messages telling him to jump off a building or hang himself. He had already done it and it wasn't a good experience at all.

"Thank you!" Iida bowed, grabbing his laptop and running back to his seat as Kayama entered the classroom, finally relieving Aizawa of his homeroom duties.

Reiko and Ryuto just sat on Midoriya's table, looking around curiously. They never bothered anyone, and never made any noise during lessons, nor did they distract Midoriya or anyone else from their work for no reason, so Aizawa really didn't care that they were there. The other teachers didn't really mind their presence, so Reiko and Ryuto were allowed to remain by Midoriya's side at all times.

The class didn't mind either. They were all fond of the two animals, especially Uraraka, Yaoyorozu and Koda, and it was hilarious to see Reiko smacking Kaminari's hand with her paw every time he wrote the wrong math equations. Ectoplasm was especially amused whenever that happened.

"Yes, Principal?" Aizawa asked.

"You don't have any lessons for the rest of the day, do you?" Nezu asked.

"No."

"Alright. I need you to do something." Nezu started, "You know Aldera Junior High, don't you?"

"Isn't that Midoriya's former middle school?" Aizawa asked, and Nezu nodded.

"Yep. I did some digging, and there are reports saying that Midoriya is a huge trouble maker in lessons and constantly disturbs his classmates."

Aizawa frowned, "Uh... are you sure you have the right report?"

"Positive." Nezu nodded, "That's why I want you to go and check the logs and the security cameras. I was originally going to go myself; I already have the permits and documents for an investigation, but I have some last minute work assigned by the Hero Commission and I would like this to be done as soon as possible. You up for it?"

"Obviously." Aizawa grinned, "Can I leave school now?"

"Go ahead." Nezu passed Aizawa several forms and a few hard drives, "You can download all of them for us to analyze later; I also have the permits for that as well."

Midoriya pushed the stopper into the sink, placing a small towel over it to cover the metal before filling the basin with warm water. He had already showered, and rewrapped the bandages around his arms; Shuzenji had already removed the bandages around his fingers, but had ordered him to keep the bandages around his arms for a few more days. He had just gotten back to UA after volunteering at the pet rescue center, and he had brought Reiko and Ryuto with him. Midoriya had taken the opportunity to buy shampoo for the both of them, since he realised that he didn't bring any after he had moved out from his foster home, though he doubted that it was necessary right now.
