Neduz knew many things, it was just how he was. A genetically modified being with a quirk known as high specs. You could give him a list of scenarios and he would respond with ways to deal with them. He ran a school for fuck sake. He had to be prepared as the lives of the students and those that worked there depended on it. Yet nothing, not even his vast knowledge, could have prepared him for a child, especially not one that was on par with a wild animal. ______ From the age of 3-9 young Izuku lived in the forest, simply surviving with the help of their instincts. For years they navigated the forest, interacting with the creatures that lived there. They kept up this life until they ran into a young child in the process of being attacked by others within their age group. Feeling an odd need to protect, Izuku dove in (quite literally) and helped the child. This quick push of instinct was the catalyst for a life Izuku wasn't quite prepared. I mean, when your instincts scream at you to go with the strange man, who honestly looks like they could benefit from a couple of years of sleep, after helping his child, you kind of do it. That's just how surviving with instincts worked.
