Quirks don't make a hero

Chapter 19: A lesson in morality

"We'll be doing something a little different today,"

"What?"

~~~

Come Monday morning, and Izuku was ready for anything. After his therapy session on Saturday, he spent the whole of Sunday holed up in his apartment with his dads and four cats, the one he found in the alleyway being number four and he named her Cappuccino, which he thought was ironic since she was pure white all over.

He and Hitoshi walked into the classroom and were met with a buzz of noise. They quickly walked to their seats, trying to delay the inevitable as much as possible, but alas, in the words of the famous grape man, destiny still arrives.

"Hey, Yagi! Shinsou! I saw what happened on the news. Man, that must have been scary!" Kaminari said, walking over to the two of them and putting his arm around Hitoshi's shoulders.

Hitoshi just grabbed his arm and dropped it off his shoulders, before he turned towards Izuku and wrapped his arms around his waist, causing Izuku to giggle.

Kaminari just huffed a little, in laughter or annoyance, Hitoshi didn't know, before walking over towards Iida and Shoto to get the story from them.

"You've four had the most action-packed internship, yeah?" He asked, looking between the two.

"And you two! It's so cool how you defeated the hero killer!" Mina said, skipping over towards the couple.

"Yeah...It was hard though," Izuku said, scratching his cheek a little in embarrassment as he wasn't used to all this attention. Years of bullying and neglect does that to you.

"Yeah, but you gotta admit, Stain was kind of cool," Kaminari said, causing both Izuku and Hitoshi to scoff.

"He was not cool, or any other adjective meaning cool, quite the opposite in fact. He was a murderer. His ideals were extreme and his methods were unnecessary. He thought that only All Might was worthy and those fake heroes needed to be slaughtered, but yet he hurt Ingenium, who was, in every sense, a true hero. He was a psychopath who had extreme ideals and messy morals," Izuku explained, causing everyone to stare at him wide-eyed.

"Sorry..." Kaminari said, shrinking down a little.

"Yagi is right," Aizawa said from the podium, causing everyone to flinch and spin around to face him. "Stain wasn't cool, and he wasn't heroic, he was a murderer with an extreme set of ideals," he explained.

The class nodded and all sat down in their seats, ready to start the day.

Aizawa looked around the class, his gaze lingering on a guilty-looking Iida, though only Izuku and Hitoshi noticed due to how long they've been around him.

"We were going to have a training session with All Might," Aizawa said, causing the class to become excited and bounce in their seats. "But," he said, causing everyone to freeze, "I think we need a different lesson before that."

"What?" The class asked, thoroughly confused.

Even Izuku was confused, and he lived with the man.

"I will be giving you a worksheet, with different scenarios as questions. After each scenario, you need to write down what you would do, and why you chose to do that. There will be ten scenarios in total and there will be a maximum of thirty minutes to work on this," Aizawa explained, handing out the worksheets to the first person in each row.

As he handed Izuku the worksheets, Izuku saw the questions and instantly knew what this lesson was about. He handed back the worksheets to Hitoshi, who sat behind him, and he could tell, by the spark in his eyes, that he also figured out what this lesson was about.
