Chapter Two: Number 2

I do not own bnha

..............................................................

It has been four months since I've moved to Japan. Since then I've rejoined hero work in Japan. The types of villains typically match those in Russia, though I admitted I've yet to come across any that are to be as strong as the seven sins.

Perhaps that's a good thing.

Shota has been forced to stick close to me while I go on my routs. Considering he appears to get no sleep I feel bad, but he hasn't complained to me yet. I figured unless he complains to me then I won't change anything.

There had been a few changes to my typical hero life. The first being that I wasn't in Russia. The media in Russia and Japan are quite different. The first being that the media here in Japan is not very fond of me, where as when I encountered the media in Russia they always seemed to like me. Perhaps Japan was more used to All Might's personality. Another big difference is that the media in Russia listens if we, the heroes working, tell them to back off so they avoid injury. So far I've had to call out another character to go forth and save a reported in danger a total of six times. 

Somehow each time ends with them yelling at me in anger, or saying I did something wrong or insulting. It's very confusing.

Given the reason I was here, I've changed one main part of my hero costume. While even in Russia I wore a mask which covered my mouth and nose, it had been designed to block out any dust or toxic gas that I could inhale. I still wore that part, but I've now added a whole face mask. With the scar on my face, which is a constant reminder of the pro hero I indirectly killed, I'd rather not be seen like that. However, it did cause a bit of a snag in my work for the first month, as nobody knew who I was.

It's gotten so bad that I'm now referred to as 'Librarian' instead of my actual hero name. There is the possibility that I heard them wrong, but either way I don't have the heart to correct them. Perhaps once I've earned my own redemption I'll be allowed to be called by that name once more.

In month two I had made a big rescue which had caught a good amount of media attention. I'm still not sure if it was necessarily good they were there or not. My ranking soared up with it, but at the same time the media was starting to paint a different picture about me. I didn't pay much mind to it in the end, as long as I was saving people is all that really mattered here.

With classes about to begin soon at UA, I've been spending my free time helping Shota. We had yet to get a class schedule, as the children wanting to enter into the hero course are set to take their entrance exams later today. Due to that we're also suppose to stay here and watch the exam process.

As I was technically off duty, and we were working in the school today, I had opted out of wearing my hero costume. Of course after seeing every teacher still wear their hero costume I made the mental note to not listen to Shota when he said it was optional. Instead I had just worn some simple professional clothes. I had chosen a pair of black slacks with black flats and a cute green blouse. It was comfortable enough for me to be able to fight if need be. Of course the bag I carried with me held at least three books, which I could use if need be. My hair was left down, though the front which was shorter was pinned to the back of my head to keep out of my face.

"You'll get to meet All Might today." Shota mumbled out as he looked through papers. It was a stock pile of future classes he has planned out, though he mentioned changing them to make me more useful to the children's learning.

I blinked, then smiled towards him. "That's nice."

He paused, looking up at me with a raised eyebrow. "Just nice? Weren't you excited to meet him the other day?"
