Third POV

The sun was starting to set, and the path to the dorms was rough and almost dangerous to walk on. When they eventually reached the building, it wasn't just 'not in great shape'. Some of the windows were broken, almost all of the outside doors hung open a little and there was garbage all over the lawn.

"What were you saying about needing to 'clean up'?" Killua joked.

"It seems that we will be needing something to clean with." Gowther deadpanned.

"No shit." Ban laughed.

The four of them stood in front of the building for a little bit until Killua broke the silence. "Are we going to go in? Or stand outside until night falls and there'll be nothing we can do in the dark." They nodded and entered the building.

The inside wasn't as bad as the outside, the walls were intact, the paint was only peeling a little, and aside from being dusty, all of the old furniture was usable.

"Oh!" Ban lifted the plastic that was on one of the chairs. "These look expensive." Ban grinned.

"Please refrain from stealing anything from the place we'll be staying." Gowther reminded him.

"Heh."

"It's pretty dark in here, is there a light switch?" Killua looked around.

"Light... switch?" Gowther asked.

"Do you guys not have electricity in your world?"

"Electricity?"

Killua facepalmed. "Yes. Like, computers, consoles, lights?"

"Computers?"

"I'll take that as a no then."

Saiki found the light switch and flipped it up. The room lit up and they all realized that this was a very nice place.

"Huh." Ban commented as he picked up a vase. "I wonder why they stopped using it?"

"I guess that means we'll have to find out!" Killua smiled.

Saiki noticed stairs in the very back of the U-shaped building (the first floor was all open concept except for a small kitchen area and two bathrooms.).

"We can go upstairs." He pointed out. While he was walking towards the stairs, he scanned the ground and the walls around him until he saw one. A cockroach. He didn't have anywhere to teleport other than places in the school, all the other places he'd been would be busy at this time of day. He disappeared.

"Saiki?" Killua looked around.

"He has vanished." Gowther stated.

"I can see that. But where'd he go?"

Saiki POV

I teleported to our classroom. I had expected no one to be there, but I was sorely mistaken. All of the first years teachers were there (All Might, Eraserhead, the Principal, Midnight and some people from the engineering department). They were having a conference of some sort.

"..."

"..."

"Saiki." The mouse man said. "May I ask how you got in here?"

Damn it. Nothing I can do about it now though.

"I teleported."

"Alright. Two more questions for you."

"..." I said nothing.

"What is your quirk?"

The fact that the man said he had 'two more questions', must've meant that he had already predicted what I was going to say. Fine then Mr. Mouse. I'll play along.
