Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 134 - Bring you back to life

A/N I needed some help to write the later part of this chapter, so I had some help from momokolove (Ao3) and KokoBeanArt (Ao3) OwO.

Aizawa left the 1-A dorms, and Midoriya just sighed. He hadn't been planning to go out, but Aizawa was right when he said that his phone was too bulky to carry around. It was too heavy for him to stick in his pockets, and it was too big to even fit in his pocket in the first place.

Midoriya grabbed his phone, and quickly headed back up to his room to change into something that would block the wind better than his regular hoodie, before he returned to the common room. Most of the students were doing their own stuff, eating, or had gone back to his room, but Shinsou was still sitting in the common room, playing around with his phone.

The greenette slowly walked up to Shinsou, and paused hesitantly, before Shinsou looked up, from his phone, "Going to the Support Course, Izuku?"

Midoriya tugged on his sleeves shyly, nodding, before signing, "Can you come with me?"

The lavender haired boy smiled, and pocketed his phone, standing up, "Sure."

It took some time for Shinsou and Midoriya to make their way to the sections for the Support Course students, but it wasn't too bad once they entered the main UA building. They finally made their way to the Development Studio, and Midoriya yanked Shinsou out of the way just as the door exploded.

"What the -" Shinsou gawked, as black smoke billowed out of the room. Reiko and Ryuto peered over Midoriya's shoulder from their position in his hood, trying to figure out just what was going on.

"Oww..."

"You know, you really shouldn't just put everything you think of together! If you don't have any ideas, stop tinkering and brainstorm! Make a blueprint!" Maijima groaned exasperatedly, "Please, will you listen to me for once, Hatsume!?"

The smoke cleared, revealing Hatsume, who was lying on the ground. She quickly pushed herself up, noticing the two boys, "Hey! Shinsou! Midoriya! It's been a while, huh?"

Maijima raised his eyebrow upon noticing the two students, "Ah, Aizawa did say that you need a new phone, right, Midoriya?"

"You need a new phone?" Hatsume asked, practically vibrating with excitement, "Sounds interesting! What do you need?! What CPU or processing spec?! What kind of operating system do you use!? What size? Any other specifications!?"

Midoriya took a step back as Hatsume lunged forwards, a notebook in hand, and Shinsou quickly stepped between them before Hatsume could get too close.

"Hatsume, calm down. You're going to overwhelm him." Maijima groaned, "I know you're enthusiastic, but please, just tone it down a bit."

"Sorry!" Hatsume grinned, before she stuck her phone out, "What phone are you using now?! Let me see!"

Midoriya gingerly fished his phone out of the large pocket of his hoodie, and Maijima practically gaped at how large the phone was. It was ridiculously big, around the size of a small tablet instead of a phone, and was literally as thick as a brick.

"Yup, too big, too heavy..." Hatsume mused, turning the phone around with both hands, trying her best to be careful so as to not drop it, "And this phone model and brand is ancient! Almost a decade old! How the fuck is it still operating smoothly!? And so quickly?! But duct tape? At least it provides waterproofing..."

She peeled away a bit of the tape, and frowned in confusion, "So much glue? You shouldn't use glue, water makes it weak and easier to fall apart... but then again you did put tape over it... And you just stuck a touch screen on it? That's ingenious!"
