Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

" I have to say I am quite disappointed." The mouse that had until that moment given me a ray of hope in my dream to become a hero, immediately crushed it with those few words.

' I knew it, I didn't do well enough, I should have pushed myself more, maybe if I had used the stats points I would have passed exams, stupid, stupid st-'

" I am disappointed in myself for thinking you would have done worse."

" St- Excuse me what?"

" Your tests result are nothing short of perfect, your mind and ability to absorb knowledge would immediately make people think you have an intelligence-related quirk, but then after seeing your body strength and ability to become skilled in several martial arts in a few months, they would doubt their previous statement, and then like a flash in the middle of the night, your inventory quirk makes their previous beliefs shatter, you Izuku Midoriya are a perfect example of what hard work can do." He smiled while putting down the folder he had until that moment.

" Then I passed the exams?"

" Passed? Midoriya you crushed them, as the Principal of UA I have the power to make someone a student without them passing any exams, Izuku Midorya is one of these rare cases, welcome to UA."

'I... I did it.' My eyes became watery, my hands began shaking, my breath quickened, and the chair I was sitting on did little work to contain my excitement, I had to use everything I had to remain seated and not start crying.

" Now, on another matter regarding your future, as I told you before I would love to have you under my wing, as an apprentice, even though I might not be the strongest in the world, there are few people that can overcome in intelligence and connections, so what do you say? Do you want to become my student?"

"...YES." This time I couldn't hold myself back and shouted while smiling and getting up from my chair.

Nezu's Student

You have signed your fate, be prepared for what that entails

Bonus: While studying a subject with the direct or indirect help of Nezu, related skills will grow 30% faster, and Int/Wis/Per will grow 20% from now on.

---

My smile only widened at the new title, the boost to skill levelling was nice, but a direct plus 20% to 3 stats was the thing that attracted me, two of them being still under the 50 mark.

" Now then, let's talk about your future schedule until UA officially starts you will be following lessons in the afternoon on different important skills for a hero, from fighting skills to first aid in case of emergency, you will also be able to decide some specific skills you want to train and I will do my best to help you train them, instead during the UA you will be part of 1-A in the hero course, considering your capabilities I think it would be for the best if you also take part in the support lessons, I think you would be able to create items that would help you in your career as an hero."

My excitement could be seen across my body, the idea of constantly moving and studying didn't annoy me even for one second, overcome by the possibility of learning new important skills that would help me as a hero.

"Now, would you like to ask for anything?"

" Ehm... I am sure you wouldn't put them, but safety can never be enough, I would like for my room not to have any type of security camera."

" You are a teen filled with hormones, I understand."

My face becomes red at the implications Nezu is making.

" It's not for that." I coughed and then said after I had calmed down.

" I know, privacy is something I wouldn't take away from anyone."

I don't know why, but I think he is telling the truth, what matters to me though is that my room doesn't have cameras so that I can go into dungeons.

During the nine months, I recorded myself during a dungeon run, and I discovered how during it my body would become transparent and all matters touching me would pass right through.

" Now then, one last thing before I leave you to your room, I would you to meet the future top three of class 3-A."

On cue, the door of the room got kicked open, and a girl with blue hair and a smile bright enough to blind a blind person began shouting.

" WHERE IS HE?"

Like a wolf looking at his prey, the girl pointed her eyes at me and pounced, not leaving any time to react.

Some sort of spiral energy surrounded her body while she began moving all around me, poking almost every inch of it, I can still get married.

" He looks so cute." The girl said to two other boys who arrived soon after her.

" It reminded me of the first time you met Tamaki, you said the same thing and then obliged him to become your friend." A boy with blond hair, blue eyes, and shaped like a brick, said while laughing at the girl's antics.

The other boy instead, with dark blue hair and black eyes, looked at me directly in the eyes and mouthed the words * I am sorry*.

" Now, I present you Mirio Togata, Amajiki Tamaki, and lastly Nejire Hado, why don't you show Midorya the school?" Nezu said while smiling, this time through the smile didn't feel as warm as before.

" YES, COME ONE, FOLLOW ME," Nejire shouted while grabbing my hand and dragging me towards the door.

The last thing I could do before being dragged away from the room was a small shout for help before the door closed leaving Nezu alone.

" Ahhh, youth."
