A few 3 days it was the day that u.a got back and max was in a better house its not to fancy but it enough to be better that the on before. max got into in the u.a uniform and if he is being honest he dosent like the uniform. While max was getting ready to deal with the hero shenanigans he actually put up a request to take care of eri and he will pay 32.000 yen. Max wasn't familiar with the currency system in Japan but he did his research and thanks that nezu lend him some money he doesn't have much to struggle eri was still sleeping and the door bell rang and max went to get the door and when he opened it he was a little surprised to see a large woman with blonde hair and a mutated look but he just saw her as a woman and not what ever she is.
Woman: um excuse me but I saw your request and want to see if I could help.. I didn't came to the wrong place right?
Max: no you are in the right place can I know your name?
Woman: it's Ippan josei nice to meet you um
Max: max McKnight and thanks I promise I will pat when I come back from u.a
Max let ippan inside it was still early so max still has time before going to u.a
Ippan: so you are a foreigner this that's something.
Max: yeah hold up I'm gonna introduce you to eri and oh right I show say what to do and not to do.
Max looked at ippan with half a serious face.
Max: eri is pretty shy and she dosent trust people she dosent know so don't be to hard on her and don't force her to do something she doesn't like.
Ippan only nodded.
Max: another thing to get eri to listen to you is to get her apples or just watch cartoons and don't show her the hero news I don't want her to be obsessed with becoming a hero.
Ippan: um if I may ask why?
Max: if I'm being honest I don't like heroes people here have just overshadowed everything and if you ask my opinion the cops should be the ones stopping crime not idiots in ridiculous outfits and the people are so reliant on heroes that they see them as Gods but all I see is just people that don't what they sign up for.
Ippan was shocked that max didn't like heroes at all normally people would say that max is a villain but ippan often suffered from discrimination because of her appearance and she even heard people behind her back calling her a freak. In a way max was right that the system is flawed.
Max: sorry I really just don't like how they do things but just take care of eri and treat her well I'll go wake her up.
Ippan decided to sit on the couch and wait for max her early impressions of the boy was that he might be a teenager but he has a good head on his shoulders. And even after hearing him going on about how the hero system is flawed she knew that he was right mutant and quirkless discrimination is at the top of the list and she after heard that quirkless people cumit suicide because of bullying and insult.
Ippan now thinking about this is making her realize that max is right about how the hero system is completely flawed.
Max: ippan
Ippan julted after hearing max and she saw a little girl with him.
Ippan: sorry I completely spaced out is this little eri.
Eri hid behind Max and she was looking at ippan with scared eyes but it was more of unfamiliarity. Max Crouched and made eri look at him.
Max: eri miss ippan isn't going to hurt you she is nice and I asked her to take care of you while I'm gone I will comeback and please listen to her and don't run off I don't want you to be in the streets because who knows what could happen eri promise me won't disobey lady ippan.
Eri: i will.
Max: thank you ippan here might be big but she is not scary now I got to get going I have to hurry.
Max grabbed a backpack and he went for the door.
Max: remember eri don't be shy to talk to ippan you need to learn to open up with someone that isn't me.
Max was heading towards u.a he made sure to read ippan like a book and he deduced thar ippan is a good person and she won't hurt a fly.
Max got to the campus and he meet aizawa on the way there and aizawa told him to wait out side for a while he could hear voices inside and when he got the go-ahead max entered the room and max was in front of the class but he noticed thar one of the seats behind the greeny was empty he honestly doesn't care much of who sat on that desk but he was glad thar at least he has a place to seat.
Aizawa: introduced yourself.
Max: I'm max McKnight it's nice to meet you I guess.
One of the students blue haired with glasses shot his hand up.
Aizawa: what is it lida
Iida: sir with all do respect should someone like him be in this school he killed those creatures and-
Aizawa: he is the only one that can take those things down and even if one of you intervene it wouldn't have done much so I don't want to hear it now sit
Iida sat down.
Aizawa:now sense mineta quit u.a and decided to transfer to another school doe to his cowardly nature Max will be sitting behind midoriya.
Max and midoriya made eye contact and max could see that midoriya had 9 soul's but the extra one was his own and max didn't care for the backstory it wasn't his business and max sat down behind midoriya not caring much for what comes next.
Aizawa: now to the important stuff your fight is not over yet the u.a sports is soon.
All the students when on an uproar except max who was dosing off but listening all that he got behind the festival was it was a one man show for people to show of there powers in Max's opinion thats is the stupidest way to do its like you are yelling out your weaknesses at the opponent and obviously bad guys or gonna watch this to get information and that is one thing that max hated the most is the lack of awareness of how much public attention can backfire on you.
Moline: I'm glad that our events are in private areas and not on a fancy screen because everyone would know our weaknesses.
Max: yeah me too
After aizawa finished everyone was talking about the event and how pumped up they are while some are just rambling about how they are going to win honestly Max wanted to be in the festival only to let eri could see him and show her that she doesn't have to worry about the bastard that keeped her isolated. Thinking of that max really wanted to find him and kill him but he can't just ask eri because whoever torture her really traumatized
Max: I might have a sharp tongue but I'm not an asshole if I was a lot of people would want me dead.
Tokoyami: mind if I drop in I saw how you dirint reacted much when aizawa told us about the sports festival.
Max that's because I don't care much.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and they all looked at max like he lost his mind.
Max: what?
Kaminari: dude how can you not be excited if you make it to the top leagues alot of pros will notice us and we will gain plenty of offered internships.
Iida: and not to mention it will leave a huge impact on your hero carrier.
Max: who said I'm here to be a hero?
Everyone was stunned by that response.
Max: the only reason why I'm here is because your principal needed the information of the monster that attacked not just you but people through out Japan and I'm the only one that know how to handle these guys and he offered me a place here but of course he tempted me and it worked because I was living in the poor side now I'm merely here to pass my time and when I'm done I can do my job freely with no one getting in the way.
Kirishima: dude that's not manly at all if you are here because just to pass the time why did you join here?
Max: simple so I can get a license so that non of the heroes interrupt my work.
Jiro: and what exactly is your job?
Max: making sure those lost soul's don't kill any more victims and those thing enjoy making people suffer.
Ochako: lost souls
Max: just picture them as evil spirit that just wanted to devour human and they are not afraid to kill kids either.
Everyone were stunned and horrified because max just revealed that those thing wouldn't have just killed them they would have eaten them alive and they saw how the quirks of the pros didn't do much damage to them and the thought of them catching one of them and eating them terrified them.
Max: that's why I'm here so that when I get a license the pro heroes won't get in my business because they won't be enough to take them down.
Mina: how are you not scared of them?
Max: I've been dealing with those things ever since I was a kid.
After seeing max getting up they all remembered that it was lunch time and they are late.
But when they wanted to get out there was a hoard of students max decided to stay away from there line of sight.
After that was done max had lunch and they were allowed to leave school early since this is just a day to announce the sports festival.
When max got home he saw ippan watching cartoons with eri and they noticed him eri went running towards him.
Max: wow you missed that much huh?
Eri nodded.
Max: did ippan treat you well?
Eri: y~yeah she is nice
Max went for the kitchen and he grabbed a bill of 30.000.
Max: I know it's 32.000 but I kinda used the money to buy groceries so hope you don't mind.
Ippan: no its fine I'm just glad this wasn't a scam I kinda wasn't being paid much my original work place so I was kinda working at a part time job but this paid well.
Max: glad to not disappoint.
Ippan: mind if I have your number? I kinda figured you will want to keep in contact.
Max: sure.
Max pulled out his phone and him and ippan had each other's phone numbers.
Ippan: well I'll leave see you tomorrow eri.
Eri: bye
With that ippan walked out the door and max decided to spend some time with eri but tomorrow he will be teaching a classmate how to handle a sword.
