One against All

Chapter 13

Just like his first time entering the school, it was daunting. With his lawyer besides him, he was allowed in by the one who helped him unknowingly, Present Mic. The man was way louder in person.

Trailing behind the hero down the hallway was nerve wracking, but he urged himself to calm down for the meeting. His lawyer, Tanaka Benjiro, was a few steps from him, his usual kind look present.

He had straight long pink hair tied into a low bun. Faded pink skin added to the vivid color, yellow horns protruding from his head in a similar look of a ram's. His eyes were bright red irises with black sclera. The forty year old constantly chatted about his niece on down time, his sister's daughter who had a better acid quirk than he did.

Arriving at the office felt like an eternity, turning many corners that made Izuku want to give up on trying to remember the layout of the hallways. That doesn't mean he didn't either way because of his stuborn nature.

The rapping sound against the door came from Present Mic, who mindlessly talked up a storm while escorting the adult and teen. Mr. Cockatoo called out a permission of entry, earning a go ahead by a way too cheerful voice.

Honestly made the bush head jealous, not like he would admit that. He was probably just a ball of spite at the moment, wanting to be a hero mainly on the basis of proving he could, and to maybe torture Bakugou if he got in. Getting a piece of his own medicine, not like he would go as far as the male.

Opening the door allowed him to see the chimera of a principal, and smell three fresh cups of tea steeping. A set was on a table in front of the chimera, who decided to use the couches in his office to have a meeting instead of his desk.

Izuku urged Tanaka-san forwards by walking to a seat, plopping himself down on the adjacent couch from Nezu. Said chimera just smiles, paws seemingly intertwined in his lap.

"Welcome Midoriya-kun!" Exclaims the chimera in a cheerful tone, before going into a spiel, "am I a bear, mouse, or a dog? That doesn't matter, why?" A dramatic pause for flare, Tanaka taking a seat next to Izuku in the mean time, "because I'm the principal!"

"Chimera" Izuku corrects, not caring about common courtesy since the letter came from the male, "I'd say you're a chimera, mouse tail, similar body of a bear or dog as the same with a mouse like nose, being shorter in stature than a bear would be though" he explains his reason of explaination.

"I would say it's a pleasure Nezu sir, but I'm not really here for a nice chat" he sits back, the hair that had grown out on the right side of his face shifting and showing more of the scar present, "may we get to business?"

At least he was polite in one thing, but it seemed to amuse the chimera who seemed to smile wider. If that was even possible. Not the issue.

"Yes, we shall, tea?" He offered, motioning a paw towards the set of cups and tea kettle. A small nod and barely distinguishable smile of gratitude, and he gently grabs a cup.

He takes a quick sip of the steaming liquid, not flinching as the heat burns his lips and tongue, surprising the principal. Tanaka got used to it after their meetings, when Izuku cooked when the adult urged him to come over and take a rest, knowing his distaste on how his mother dictates his life, and burned his forearm on a pan.

And from there they learned of his tolerance of heat. He didn't allow Tanaka to know how he came like that though.

Setting the cup on the small plate that belonged to it, he pulled the bag off his shoulders. From the bag, he pulled his laptop and opened it, swiftly typing in an intricate password and pulling up a file. He didn't bother turning the screen, and clicked play on the first video saved to the file.

It was the one involving Present Mic and the girl, and he played it not once, but twice, starting to explain his case. As he had placed top in the practical and had a 98% on his written exam.

"-this is just discrimination against me based on my quirkless nature, which is against the law if you look under section 5 title 23" a pause as he pulls out the printed laws that he stuffed into his bag, the stunned presence outside the door seemed to be the hero who might've helped get him into the school, "discrimination against one person based on their quirk or lack therof in such an act to physically or mentally harm them, or prevent further growth, up to 128 hours of community service and a fine of up to 30000 yen"

He didn't allow Nezu to speak, "not only that, but that was just one video" with those words, he played the next one, this one entailing the conversation between him and Present Mic.

Once that finished, he continued talking, "there's more specific laws of quirk descrimination that can be stacked on, you had lifted the no quirkless rule, giving me all the freedom to enter the hero course, but I haven't? And why's that when I got first place with rescue and villain points, excelling in the written portion as well"

"Sir, not only that, but two of the admitted students that are to be placed in class 1-A have extensive history of perverted and abusive nature" he grabbed his computer and clicked another file, bringing two students onto the screen. He totally didn't have time to learn how to hack in his free time, had to get backing information somewhere.

Extensive filing on Mineta Minoru and Hayato Nonomoto was shown to the principal with photo proof and old cases on them that were disregarded because of their useful quirks. Mineta had accused rapes and sexual assaults against him, with found footage and images that he pulled from the places that they were reported. And with Hayato, he had abuse, physical and mental, accused against him with them being sweeped under the rug for his quirk.

"If you heed my warning to expel them before starting to teach them, then I'd also suggest anger management for Hayato and some self control classes of some sort for Mineta, wouldn't want any new villains popping up because of that decision"

He finished up his whole case soon after, a cold stare on the principal as his smile was vacant. Next to him, the comforting presence of Tanaka, who already helped him so much, began to speak.

"We kindly ask for Midoriya-kun to be transfered to the Hero course before school starts, or we will take legal action" he paused as a grin settles on his face, "it would be quite the scandal, "quirkless child refused a spot in the hero course after placing first in the entrance exam," the media would eat that up like the vultures they are"

And Nezu finally gets to talk.
