Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 97 - I cut you into pieces

Shuzenji deemed Midoriya healthy enough for training, and given that he was still working as an intern in Sasaki's agency, she also allowed him to participate in patrols and fights. She was pretty sure that Sasaki also didn't want anything to happen to the boy, and would ensure that he would take care of himself.

UA had already fixed up the washing machines, and Aizawa had to be called out of homeroom in the middle of the week for some mission, so Kayama opted to take that opportunity as the substitute teacher to chase the students back to the dorms and to drive the students with destroyed clothes, as well any other students who wanted to go shopping, though they had to keep it a secret from Aizawa.

Needless to say, Kayama, Hagakure, and Ashido were having a lot of fun picking out shirts that they thought would look cute on Midoriya, but the greenette just wanted to get a few more hoodies and plain shirts. He was very insistent that he didn't need a lot of clothes, and just got the cheapest articles of clothing he could find, though the cheapest t-shirts had random words like "shirt" and "pants", so Midoriya just chose those.

Why there was a shirt with the word "pants" printed on them, Midoriya would never know, but he didn't really care.

That didn't stop Kayama from sneaking a hoodie with cat ears, and some other shirts into the shopping basket, much to Midoriya's confusion.

Reiko did seem rather amused as Midoriya tried to return the clothes he was positive he didn't pick out, but Kayama just told him to keep them, refusing to let him return them.

"So! Welcome back, Midoriya!" Awata cheered, almost flinging herself at Midoriya to wrap the kid up in a hug, but Moashi pulled her back in time, "Bubble Girl, calm down. But all the same, it's great to have you back, Midoriya."

Awata just smiled, "It's been a really long time, right?"

Midoriya just nodded, handing Sasaki another analysis report and Togata smiled proudly to himself. Once he had heard that Shuzenji had given Midoriya the go-ahead for patrols and fights, he had gone over to the 1-A dorms to ask Midoriya if he wanted to go to the agency for some hero work. It was obvious that Midoriya would agree to some action, but the greenette had left both Reiko and Ryuto back in the dorms so they could help Kacchan settle in.

The hero commission wanted all the heroes to step up on their workload, and for the more well-known students, like the four first years and the three third years who had participated in the raid on the Eight Precepts of Death, to go out more on patrols. With Enji as the new Number One hero following Yagi's retirement, it was clear that they needed to fill the gap before the Hero Billboard Chart rankings were officially announced.

Tatsuma was being swamped with paperwork due to being in one of the top ten, and currently, she was teaching her interns about how to more efficiently finish them. Meanwhile, Toyomitsu was also temporarily out of service as he built up his fat to the right proportions, and he was currently working out a diet plan for Kirishima in hopes that it might help him with his Hardening. Amajiki was experimenting with more exotic foods, but had gotten sick with a mild case of food poisoning.

"Welcome back." Sasaki nodded, gently patting Midoriya's shoulder, "It's been some time since you last patrolled, let's go to that mall that's a few blocks from here."

"Oh! Come on, let's go!" Togata grinned, "You haven't been there before, that place is awesome! Except that there might be a few thieves here and there... so we should be on the lookout and catch a villain! Power!"

"I'm just really glad you're okay, Midoriya!" Awata spoke up, "Those injuries you got were pretty bad! But -"

"Please stop talking, Bubble..." Moashi muttered, but Awata just ignored him, But now you're here, all healed up and ready to go!"
