Second Chance

Selection

"So, are we set on which of these children have passed?" Nezu stared at the pros sitting around him, everyone had already decided on the new students for the Hero course. The majority of the staff had chosen these new students based on aspects such as the way they handled their quirks, the way they worked under pressure, rescuing the "civilians" and lastly, teamwork, while the last one was not included in the rules, it was a key factor during real life situations.

"It seems so," Cemontoss glanced towards the principle with an inquiring look "Have you still not settled on a teacher yet, Nezu?"

Nezu shook his head "I won't lie to you all, I have been having trouble finding our next homeroom teacher. These children have quite the unique Quirks, so it's been hard to find someone who would be compatible for them all"

Hound dog was quick to continue after Nezu, he pulled out a few folders, they were the files of some of them "not only are their quirks unique and powerful, some of them have some...unique backgrounds."

The screen behind them lit up to life, Four students in particular were shown during their exam's performance, Shitogeru Kishin, Hitonoke Chava, Rikimaru Kana, and Akatani Mitsaru.

"There's also the...circumstances that took for some of these kids to manifest their quirks" The screen changed to the files of both Hitonoke Chava and Hitonoke Ryogami. "These two children were counted as Dead before their quirks finally manifested, and while they're not considered dangerous, we need someone that can take proper measures with them."

At that same moment the room's light began flickering, making some of the staff alert in case of a Villain attack, many of them took a fighting stance, except for Aizawa, who was rather calm, and Nezu, who didn't seem to feel bothered.

The lights went out, making the screen behind shine even more brightly, the screen changed from the student's footage to only static, then a neon green logo appeared, blinking like a damaged street sign, it was the face of a Cheshire cat with a huge grin on his face and cross eyes. A high pitched robotic voice was heard giving a burst of small laughter, it sounded like an imp making fun of the heroes in front.

"What's the meaning of this?!" Vlad was high on alert, the logo disappeared as quickly as it came, a small notification came from Nezu's computer before the screen went off and the lights flickered back to life. Opening the message Nezu found a file. He gave the others a small smile without even looking at them.

"I believe we have the answer to our problem..."

~Later~

Despite his strange form, Corovo was very good at what he did. Which was why he wasn't too surprised to find Pro Heroes after him, again, only he did wonder how they knew exactly where he was.

Corovo could feel the annoyance coming on when he dodged the pro's, only to run into Eraserhead in the alleyway, a curse getting lodged in his throat as he tried to backpedal, only for something to stop him, a warm but raspy feeling springing up around his legs. A quick glance down confirmed it, Vlad King's quirk. He's dodged this guy a handful of times.

"Huh, caught me," He said cheerfully, watching Eraserhead carefully, the moment his hair is down, that means his quirk is off and he can try and break out of this and make a run for it.

However, his gazed quickly darted to the ruffling in the underground hero's scarf, watching as it burst open to reveal a familiar furry rodent climbing out on the bundle and dropping down to the floor.

Corovo's attention was pulled to Nezu, and it left more questions than what he could really handle at three in the morning

"Well, I must say, it's good to see you again Corovo" Nezu gave the man a once over before continuing "It seems that you're still in the same profession from years before"

Corovo tilted his head, face becoming grey with purple swirls "Why hello Nezu, for what do I owe this interesting....meet up?"

The polite smile that the animal wore washed off, giving way for a more serious expression "I have a job offer for you, Corovo"

Corovo frowns slightly "A job offer? I didn't take you as one to ask me for something"

"Corovo I want to offer you a job at the school, as a teacher for the new class"

Corovo had a minute of silence before replying slowly "Nezu, if you have a head injury, the hospital is close by, and if it's a fever and you're delusional, then I once again suggest the hospital"

Nezu's expression stayed strong "I mean it, Corovo, you would be perfect for the position"

Corovo continued to stare at him, long having forgotten about Vlad King and Eraserhead "How would I be perfect for a classroom full of children? You know what I do. How will that help some kids?"

Nezu began to pace in front of him slowly, his voice filled with an unknown emotion as he spoke "Corovo, we have very powerful children entering this new class, some of which have dangerous or unstable Quirks. You would be the perfect candidate for this, you could teach them how to control their power, you'll be able to keep up with them and many more possibilities because you have a handle on your Quirk"

Glancing back at Aizawa, the hero pulled out a small stack of files from his jacket and handed them to Nezu, he looked down at them before presenting them to Corovo. "I know I can trust you with their files"

Corovo was just now aware that both Vlad King and Eraserhead had pulled back their quirks, so with a small huff, he reached forward and grasped the files before flipping through them. Some of these quirks would have been very hard to live with, and one of them was even surprising how they even got into the hero class period.

Nezu climbed back onto Aizawa's shoulder, sending a polite smile Corovo's way "Come by later when you've made your decision. We'll be waiting for your answer"

And then they were gone, leaving Corovo in the middle of the darkened alley, alone.
