Present Day~
Senku Residency, current occupants(one), Time: 12:00 AM.

Izuku grunted with annoyance at the beeping alarm clock. His eyes were tired and exhausted from looking back into his save states. That, and the nagging motivation to get off his ass and start his day.

Getting off of his day-bed, Izuku pushed the mattress up and turned the bed into a couch. He had about an hour to get ready. Making time, he took a quick cold shower, grunting at his discomfort but now wide awake, Izuku went into the kitchen to cook his breakfast. Some rotten scrambled eggs and months expired milk. Yep, the ideal breakfast.

Skill: Cooking(level 2)

He sighed, he needed to stop buying take-out. His stomach was growling like an NPC would. However, his gut was in for a wild ride. Setting the food on a broken plate, Izuku walked over to the couch and stared at the night sky just past his window. It was nice and quiet, with the exception of some buzzing from flys and few crickets.

"Fuck I need to start practicing my culinary skills. These taste like absolute dog-shit." Indeed it tasted like dog-shit.

Soon after finishing his meal, Izuku got ready to go to work. Grabbing his school bag, which was his "everything bag", dressed in some security clothes. Izuku looked at his apartment and headed on his way towards his first job: the museum.

Fossil Museum, Current Occupants(2), Time 12:50 AM

Izuku clocked in early to start setting up in his security booth. He sat his stuff down beneath the desk and began logging into the security footage.

It was the easiest job when it wanted to be. Leaning back on the office chair, Izuku took out a book, a science fiction called "A Warrior Race" by G.E. He enjoyed reading, it was a great pastime.

As his shift officially started, Izuku turned the page, just as he was about to start the first paragraph, a pair of hands fell upon his eyes. "You sure do love to sneak up on me." Izuku commented.

"It's fun, besides I can't help but feel happy that my number one fan is reading my works." A tail landed on the teen's shoulder.

"Gine-Sempai, I need to work. Don't you have your own booth to work."

"Oh please, you know my quirk can sense life energy right? I am not worried that someone can get the drop on us, besides who steals from a fossil museum, paleontologist?!" The older teen sat down next to him, releasing her hold on his eyes.

Izuku's first co-worker, Gine Okari, a new writer in the making. Massive fan on science fiction genre. As soon as she sat down and made her statement. The alarm went off.

"Some determine paleontologists." Izuku sighed before putting down his book and gearing himself up.

"Man...why is it always me when I jinks it?" Gine mumbles annoyingly before racing out of the booth. Izuku merely shook his head before racing after her.

Both teens found themselves face to face with the perpetrators, holding a bone from a triceratops.

"The hell?! C'mon guys, don't just take a bone!" Gine shouted as she dive kicked the first man. Izuku followed suit with a haymaker, busting the man's skull with an audible 'crack'. Gine was in the middle of her fight when four more guys showed up.

Izuku grunted before dodging one's punch and snapping that guy's elbow with ease. Another attempted to uppercut him in the gut, but Izuku cross blocks it then soon performs a mean roundhouse kick to the man's jaw with two tooth's flying out.
