Capítulo 1364: 29
Days before Izuku regained consciousness.
In the conference room of UA sat Nezu, and all the teachers of UA, the topic of this meeting were none other than Izuku Midoriya. "Are you serious Nezu, expulsion?" Midnight asked as she looked at the principal as he solemnly nodded his head.
"It can't be avoided. Midoriya took part in a battle between a hero and villain-."
"And won if it wasn't for Midoriya All for One would have gotten away and All Might would have died for nothing!" Midnight shouted not believing that she had to spell this out.
"So what, we just pat him on the back and things go on? The ends justify the means is that what we're telling our students?" Eraserhead asked rubbing his forehead. He'd just gotten back from being badgered by a roomful of reporters at the UA press conference. "If we do that we're saying anyone can take on a villain as long as they win. Is that what you want Nemuri?" Aizawa asked using Midnight's real name letting her know he was serious.
"No, but still this is a bit much what is the world going to think if we expel him for trying to help. Everyone saw what he did how he aided All Might and even managed to save a civilian. If we do this we're going to get backlash the likes of which we've never seen. Can UA take another hit like that? First the USJ incident, then Bakugou's kidnapping, and now we expel one of our students for doing what he's been trained to do?" Midnight asked crossing her arms as she leaned back. Nezu ran a paw over his head. In all his years as principal he'd never had a problem as complex as this one even with his immense intellect he couldn't figure a way out of this without getting shit on his shoes.
The room remained silent as each thought about the problem before them. There was no easy way to do this either they keep Midoriya and ignore his actions in favor of rewarding his reasons, or they expel the boy adhering to the law and weather the media storm that will kick up from doing so.
Izuku looked at Principal Nezu his eyes going dark as his mind spasmed at the words he heard. Expelled? Did he say expelled, but then what am I going to do? I can't be hero if I don't attend a hero school. What about what All Might said. He said I could be a hero, if I can't do that what do I do with One for All? Who would I pass it on to?! All these thoughts and more ran through Izuku's mind as Nezu and Aizawa looked on for a moment before Nezu spoke.
"I'm sorry Midoriya but there's no other way, but don't think that we're ignoring the good you did. We are a school of heroes, and we won't ignore your heroic actions. Yes you are being expelled, but you don't have to give up your dream of being a hero." Nezu said as Izuku looked up at him his dark eyes regaining some of their shine as tears gathered.
"I-I don't?" He asked as Nezu shook his head.
"No we may be expelling you, but that doesn't mean you can't pursue your heroic aspirations at another school, or you're free to take this year off and apply to UA again starting next year. We will hold all of your pertinent information and you can resume your studies with us." Nezu said smiling as he placed a paw on his hand.
"You are a heroic spirit Midoriya we don't want to lose you. I can't thank you enough for what you did for Toshinori. He believed you could be a hero and I believe in him." Nezu explained as he patted Izuku's shoulder and slid off his chair. Aizawa stood up as well, but did not immediately follow Nezu out.
"You need to learn that actions have consequences. It went well for you this time, but what about next time? Take this time to learn what you have to do as a hero." Aizawa said as Izuku bowed his head.
"Thank you Mr. Aizawa." Izuku said as he heard the door close. He stayed bowed like that tears raining from his eyes onto the blanket. "I-I can still be a hero. I promise I'll be a better hero All Might, so please watch over me." Izuku said as Recovery Girl patted him on the back.
"Your mother will be here to pick you up soon, you should get ready. You'll be going out the back of the school while Nezu keeps the press busy out front." She said as she left to allow Izuku to get dressed.
"Do you think this was too much for him?" Nezu asked to Aizawa as Recovery Girl exited the room.
"If it is, then he didn't deserve the chance we gave him, but I think he'll be fine. Midoriya is the best at learning from his mistakes. This will make him think about his actions going forward and in the end make him a better hero." Aizawa explained as the three adults nodded in agreement. "Now let's go deal with wolves at our door."
Izuku sat in the passenger seat as his mother drove them home. She'd spent at least ten minutes chewing him out before they even got in the car and once they did she began crying saying how worried she was about him. That really hammered home what Aizawa had said about his actions having consequences. He'd just acted without considering what would happen if he failed. His mother reached over stroking his hair seemingly subconsciously as they drove before she pulled into a parking lot. Izuku looked around and knew exactly where he was; the cemetery. Inko reached into the backseat pulling out a bouquet of flowers that she placed in Izuku's arms.
"I thought you might want to stop by as soon as possible so I bought these on the way to get you." She explained as Izuku felt his eyes burn with tears. "I'll be here when you're done, take as long as you need." She whispered as Izuku climbed out of the car and smiled at his mom before walking into the cemetery.
Izuku took a deep breath as he meandered through the paths after having to ask directions from a groundskeeper he found himself cresting a hill to All Might's grave it was a tall spire of Stone at least six feet and was Inscribed with the name Toshinori Yagi and. Around the grave were a plethora of offerings from flowers, and toys to medals and the like. As he approached Izuku realized he wasn't alone. There standing in front of All Might's grave was Endeavor. The now number one hero wore a trench coat that flapped in the chill breeze. His flaming beard was gone as he stared down at the grave. "I-I'm sorry I'll come back later." Izuku said about to trek back down the hill.
"No come forward, you have more right to be here than I do." Endeavor said turning to face the boy. He looked him over as Izuku approached. Everything seemed so ordinary about him, as if he was any kid on any day, but Endeavor had been there in person to witness the power he displayed after All Might's death and he'd been shocked at what he saw. Comparing what he saw at the Sports Festival to what he'd seen in Kamino it was a no contest Izuku was superior to Shoto. Endeavor chuckled gaining Izuku's attention.
"What's so funny?" He asked looking at the flame hero as he rose from placing the bouquet of flowers. Endeavor waved his hand.
"That was rude, excuse me. I was just thinking that All Might had me beat yet again." It was sad really how easily All Might dwarfed Endeavor's ability. Not just at being a hero, but even picking a successor.
Izuku cocked his head to the side as he looked at Endeavor. "What do you mean?" Izuku asked as Endeavor coughed.
"For my entire career I've been chasing All Might. To be the number one hero was my goal, and not for some noble purpose such as being the symbol of peace or inspiring others. No I wanted to be the top hero so I could be the best. It was my selfishness that drove me to do the things I've done and the funny thing is now that I'm here I can't enjoy it. I didn't earn this title it was handed to me and it's so frustrating it's hilarious." Endeavor said clutching his face as he laughed at the irony of the world.
Izuku remained silent thinking about what Shoto had told him about Endeavor and what he'd done to beat All Might. "I can understand that irony." Izuku said crouching down to All Might's grave pushing a few leaves from the pedestal. "I wanted to be a hero more than anything, so much so it blinded me to doing what was right for me and what's right for everyone. My selfishness drove me to be expelled from UA." Izuku said.
"What!?" Shouted Endeavor startling the boy as he looked into Endeavor's piercing blue eyes. "Those cowards at UA are just trying to cover their ass. Let me guess they expelled you for getting involved in the Kamino incident." At Izuku's nod Endeavor shook his head. "Those idiots rather take the easy way out and let the media eat them alive then stand up and tell the world you did the right thing. I was there, and even with the combined power of all the heroes there I'm not sure we could have stopped that villain. All Might would have died for nothing." Endeavor growled crossing his arms before looking back at Izuku seeing him smiling.
"What?" Endeavor asked startled by the gentle look he was given.
"You really admired All Might didn't you?" Izuku said smiling as he rubbed his head. "He respected you too. I think having you right at his heels drove him to be better and do more." Endeavor looked down at Izuku before turning away from him. He just didn't get this kid at all, but he felt as if he was standing next to All Might right now.
"Well what do you intend to do now that you're expelled?" Endeavor asked as Izuku stood up placing a hand on All Might's grave.
"Well Principal Nezu said I could apply to UA again next year or I'm free to transfer to a different school and pick up where I left off. I'm not sure. I had my heart set on UA, but I can't be selfish enough to just sit and wait for next year, so maybe I'll apply to Shiketsu or Ketsubutsu." Izuku explained before Endeavor turned to him.
"Before his fight with you in the Sports Festival Shoto refused to use his fire no matter what I did, but after that he came to me of his own free will for his internship. He's matured and realized that he needs to put his personal feelings aside if he wants to be the best and it's all thanks to you. I owe you something for that, so if you want to be a hero come to my agency. I'll take you on and train you. As the new number one hero I have a duty to finish what All Might started. I will make you a great hero just like he wanted." Endeavor said holding his hand out to Izuku who looked at it for a moment before clasping it.
"Thank you sir!"
Momo sat up in her bed as the morning light trickled through her curtains. She sighed feeling absolutely drained as if she hadn't just woken up. She hadn't been sleeping well since Kamino. She'd woken up that morning to see the news about what happened and watched Izuku go toe to toe with the villain that killed All Might and defeated him, but the Izuku she saw on the screen wasn't the Izuku she knew and to be honest it scared her. She was worried for him, but also angry with him. He knocked her out and stole her tracker. He sidelined her with no regard for her feelings. She'd been texting him all that morning, but received no reply, and after talking with the other girls found out they were receiving no response as well.
Momo had thought Izuku would show up at All Might's funeral at least, but he wasn't there either. Deciding enough was enough Momo went to talk to Aizawa, but all he could say was that Izuku was being taken care of by Recovery Girl at UA. She supposed it was only natural Izuku's face was on every news outlet. Many people touting Izuku as a hero for his actions, with others admonishing him mainly the authorities saying it wasn't his place to defeat the villain. There's no way he could be treated at a regular hospital
Momo's heart was in her throat as she watched day after day the news both praise and curse Izuku's actions. Everyone in the class felt the same wondering what would become of their Class Rep and then after five days of stonewalling UA gave its press conference caving in to the media camping outside its gate.
Principal Nezu stood on a podium constructed by Cementoss on the spot. "Everyone thank you for being patient with us as we gather ourselves after these harrowing events. First of all regarding the lack of security around our students we apologize once more to the parents and our students. We failed you, but no more as of now UA will be implementing a dorm system for all its students to live on campus." Many voices rang out at this statement as cameras flashed.
"Now to the matter most of you are here for. By now I'm sure all of you know that the boy who defeated the villain calling himself All for One was in fact Izuku Midoriya." Principal Nezu announced.
"Yes we know that, but where is Midoriya and what is UA's stance on the boy's actions? Do you agree with the majority in saying he's a hero and his actions were justified in capturing the villain? Or are you on the side of the minority and say he committed a crime in using his quirk to apprehend All Might's killer?" This reporter wasn't pulling any punches either way UA would be put in a bad light. Nezu took a deep breath before speaking.
"I will say that Izuku's Midoriya's actions were instrumental in the capture of All for One. If not for him I do not know if the villain would have been defeated and for that we should all be thankful." Nezu began.
"So you agree that his actions were warranted then?" Another reporter asked as Nezu raised his head.
"I agree with the reasons behind Midoriya's actions, but I cannot condone them. Midoriya is not a hero or even have a provisional license. With these facts UA has no choice but to expel Izuku Midoriya." The reporters burst into a storm of questions at this announcement. Momo covered her mouth as she heard this as tears formed at her eyes.
"Oh Izuku." She whispered.
"That's bullshit!" Shouted Raphael as he launched to his feet heading to the door. "I'm going to that fucking school and beating that mouse, bear freak until he changes his mind!" Raphael shouted before Leo grabbed his arm.
"That's not going to solve anything Raph and you know it, besides the principal is right. Izuku did break the law." Leo said looking down as Raphael looked at him.
"Are you fucking stupid! He saved lives out there that deserves something goddammit. I know you're all about the rules and shit, but this is wrong!"
"RAPHAEL that is enough!" Splinter shouted calling his sons' attention to him. "All this arguing is doing nothing. Leonardo is right in the fact that Izuku broke the law it is only natural that a government institution holds with the law on this. No matter how good Izuku's intentions were the fact remains the same." Splinter said turning the TV off. "I have faith that Izuku will come out of this stronger. Believe in your brother." Splinter said walking to his room.
Ever since that press conference had been released expelling Izuku Katsuki had been in an even worse mood than usual. He came out of his room and went into the kitchen grabbing a glass from the cabinet as Izuku's face flashed in his mind. He hurled the glass against the wall breaking it. Mitsuki came around the corner looking at the broken glass and shook her head before grabbing Katsuki by the collar "Let go of me!" He shouted flailing in his mother's grip.
"You've been pissing and moaning about the house ever since you heard about Izuku's expulsion. How about you do something productive and go see your friend eh Katsuki?" His mother said causing Katsuki to cease his flailing.
"I'm not supposed to leave the house." He responded only for his mother hit him on the head.
"So fucking what you don't listen to anyone anyway let's go!" She shouted dragging him along.
"Damn you woman let me go I can walk on my own two legs dammit!" Katsuki shouted as his mother ignored him continuing to drag him along.
Katsuki and his mother arrived to a media circus outside the Midoriya household. "Fuck!" Mitsuki shouted getting out of her car as Katsuki followed after her. "They're going to give Inko a heart attack. Alright you buzzards move it or lose it!" Shouted Mitsuki kicking a reporter in his back slamming him forward into the crowd of others as Mitsuki began clearing a way to Inko's front door only to find the area completely clear as class 1-A stood in front Inko's door glaring at the media. "Guess I won't have to kick anyone's ass today. I'm guessing you kids are here to see Izuku too?" Mitsuki asked as Katsuki walked up behind her glaring at the reporters.
"Umm yes we are, but we couldn't just let these guys harass Midoriya and his mom anymore." Mina said looking at the group of reporters like they were pure shit.
"This is no way for the media to behave, truly a shameful scene." Iida said adjusting his glasses.
"I like you kids." Mitsuki said shoving Katsuki towards his classmates. Why don't you all go inside, I'll hold these vultures back." She said knocking on the door. "Inko it's me Mitsuki could you let the kids in for a bit." She said as the door was slowly opened by Inko Midoriya.
"Hmm five out of te-." Mineta was struck on the head by Ojiro.
"Have some respect please." He said dragging the boy inside as class 1-A piled into Inko's home.
"Where the hell is Izuku?!" Shouted Katsuki once the door was shut.
"Bakugou mind your manners. Everyone place your shoes neatly at the doorway. Mrs. Midoriya on behalf of 1-A please pardon our intrusion." Iida said bowing followed by all of his other classmates.
"Oh how polite, you must be Iida. Izuku told me you were a polite young man." Inko said as Iida blushed happy Izuku said such nice things about him to his mother.
"Yes ma'am pleasure to meet you." Iida said.
"Oh, oh what did Izuku say about me?" Toru asked jumping to the front of the line.
"Toru right he said you were his first friend in UA I'm so thankful." Inko said bowing as Toru blushed.
"Who the hell cares what Izuku said about any of you idiots where is he?!" Katsuki shouted getting to the reason behind their visit.
Inko cocked her head. "He didn't tell any of you anything?" Inko asked as they all shook their heads causing Inko to sigh. "I can't say I'm surprised, well come on I'll explain what I can." She said bringing them all into the living room as everyone found a spot with most of them sitting on the floor with the exception of Todoroki and Tokoyami who leaned against the wall. "Izuku was released from UA a couple days ago and told me that he was expelled from UA for this school year, but was free to pursue his education in other places." There were several breaths of relief in the class.
"That's good to know Midoriya hasn't been blacklisted from hero society." Iida said patting his chest.
"Yes I was happy to hear that as well. He will be able to reapply to UA next year, but as luck would have it Izuku was taken on by a pro the day he was released from UA."
"WHAT!? What pro was it, who took him on!?" Katsuki shouted slamming his hands on his knees. His shock was mirrored by the others.
"I've heard of landing on your feet, but this is a bit much. Is that even possible to be taken on by a pro this early?" Kirishima asked looking at Iida and Momo.
"It's rare, but possible. Before my brother's injury he made an offer to sponsor someone who hadn't attended a hero school so they could earn their license while working under him." Iida explained.
"Yes it's possible for a pro to take someone on in extenuating circumstances, but it's not something just any pro could do. It would require tons of paper work not to mention a lot of clout to pull it off." Momo clarified thinking of who could do such a thing. "I'd say anyone in the top ten is capable of that." She said as Katsuki growled.
"Tell me who the hell is it Aunt Inko!" Katsuki shouted shocking all the class at the familiarity he just displayed.
"I can't Katsuki Izuku didn't tell me. He said he didn't want to cause trouble for his mentor. All I can say is that he met this person when I took him to All Might's grave." Inko said before grabbing the house phone. "But I can call him, so you can talk to him." She said dialing Izuku's number. The phone rang once, twice, three times before it was picked up.
"Hello?" Izuku said right before an explosion could be heard.
"You must be really confident to answer the phone when you're sparring with me asshole!" A woman's voice shouted as Izuku's labored breaths echoed out of the phone. Katsuki took this moment to grab the phone.
"Izuku you bastard tell me where you are so I can kick your ass. You think you're special training from some pro is enough to beat me well you're wrong!" Katsuki shouted into the phone as another explosion could be heard and a grunt of pain from Izuku.
"Wow you must be talking to a pretty girl in order for their voice to throw you off that much!" The mysterious woman's voice taunted Izuku as a vein appeared on Katsuki's forehead.
"Tell that bitch I'm not a girl Izuku right here and now. I'll kick both your asses!" Katsuki shouted before the phone was pulled from his hand by Inko.
"Katsuki sit down and hush!" Inko said as Katsuki obeyed fuming in his seat on the couch.
"Wow Mrs. Midoriya must have experience training wild animals." Denki commented getting a glare from Katsuki as Inko spoke to her son.
"Izuku I'm sorry to interrupt, but your classmates were worried about you. I can't believe you didn't tell them anything, that's very rude!" Inko said as Izuku sighed.
"I-I'm sorry everyone I didn't want to worry you or make any of you feel bad. I was expelled because of my own actions and even though some of you were with me I'm glad you didn't get in trouble." Kirishima clenched his fist as Shoto looked away and Iida dropped his head. "Don't worry about me guys I promise you'll all see me again real soon. Oh I guess I should pick my replacement as Class Rep, though I don't think Mr. Aizawa will care. I pick Momo Yaoyorozu as the new Class Rep." He said before another explosion was heard.
"Get off the phone you wimp. I've still got a lot more to drill into that pitiful body of yours!" Shouted the mysterious female before the line went dead. All of class 1A looked at the phone for a moment taking in everything they heard.
Momo came out of her bathroom getting dressed for the day ahead. She felt better knowing that Izuku was still working hard on becoming a hero, but wanted to see him, talk to him about that night. It'd been days since they'd all gone to Mrs. Midoriya's house and Izuku still hadn't contacted any of them as far as she knew. Just how soon was real soon Momo thought as she sat at the dining table having her breakfast placed in front of her. An elegant dish of pancakes with a side of fruit and topped with whipped cream and a cup of tea. As she raised her knife and fork her butler appeared before her. "Pardon the interruption Madame, but a boy is at the door. He says he needs to speak with you. He appears to be heavily injured should I escort him from the premises?" Her butler asked tightening his gloves as his eyes glowed blue.
"Not just yet Bartholomew." Momo said rising from her seat at the dining room table and heading to the foyer where Izuku Midoriya stood. Both his arms were wrapped in bandages as well as several Band-Aids across his face. She could see his eye was healing from what she assumed was a nasty black eye. Momo's heart pounded in her chest as she looked at him. Love, joy, relief, and anger spun inside her like a hurricane. She ran to him as he looked at her and then slapped him across the face. Momo stood there panting as her hand stung with the impact of her hit. Izuku looked at her a little shocked before she kissed him cupping his face as she did so.
"You idiot!" She shouted stomping her foot as Izuku smiled.
"Sorry Momo." He said holding her
