NAGATO IN MHA

"That's some information for your apprentices. The rest you can find out on your own. The internship starts on Monday. The school will take you to the station, so bring the necessary things and come to the school." Aizawa-sensei said a few other things to warn his students. Especially for those who like to cause trouble.

*Tok tok tok

Everyone simultaneously turned their heads towards the door that started to open. Even Aizawa-sensei stopped his lecture for a moment.

*No!

"Sorry to interrupt Aizawa-san, good afternoon children." Nezu entered the classroom with a bright smile.

Aizawa-sensei frowned slightly at Nezu's arrival. "Nezu-san,"

Nezu nodded at Aizawa-sensei's call. "There are still a few minutes before the lunch break. I want to announce something first. You don't have to worry about being late for break, it won't take long."

"We don't mind, Principal." Iida answered on behalf of his class. Because obviously the rest of his friends were thinking about the upcoming break.

"Please remain calm for a moment."

Several people turned their heads and focused on Nezu.

*Crack Click click click

The window beside Bakugo that had been open closed on its own. Followed by the sound of locking. Bakugo who was right next to the window turned his head in shock then his eyes turned to Nezu in front of the class.

The click click click sound continued to be heard in sequence. Starting from windows, doors, to air vents, everything was locked. All access ways in and out were tightly closed.

"The window," Midoriya also saw the incident of Bakugo's side window.

"The door too,"

Todoroki saw his friends' confusion then turned to the corner behind him. Even the vents too.

Because of this incident now everyone was focused on the two people at the front of the classroom.

"Why is everything locked?"

"Sensei, what's going on?" Mina's question clearly represented everyone's thoughts.

"Just listen to what Nezu-san has to say." Aizawa-sensei remained calm standing beside Nezu despite seeing the confusion of her students.

"Alright listen to me carefully." Nezu ignored all the questions and murmurs of the students in front of him and took a small smartphone-like object from his pocket.

A holographic screen appeared between the two teachers and the students. There were various pictures taken from different angles, a familiar little red-haired boy.

They were all pictures of Nagato during his time at UA.

"Nagato, a nine-year-old boy, 120 cm tall, weighing 25 kg, the most distinctive and striking feature is his dark red hair, and also one of his eyes." Nezu began with a brief description of Nagato. Not all of Nagato's personal data Nezu revealed. Only a few that need to be known.

But Nezu also didn't tell about the parking lot massacre case. The story is too cruel and sadistic if it is matched with the age of the culprit, Nagato himself. Nezu wanted his students to be friends with Nagato, not hate each other.

So far, the parking lot massacre case has no clear certainty because the perpetrator has never been found. But only the UA and investigators know if the culprit is a child and is being hidden at UA.

"You must know or at least have seen Nagato-kun."

"He first appeared with the league of villains led by Shigaraki Tomura during the USJ attack. As victims you certainly won't forget that incident." Nezu looked at each student. They clearly remembered the events of that day.

"Well, on that day the attack was stopped and Shigaraki Tomura escaped, leaving behind all the villains she brought with her. Including Nagato-kun."

"The fact that Nagato-kun was too young to be a villain really surprised our side. As a hero school with many pro heroes, Nagato-kun's future as a villain cannot be left unchecked. Therefore, our school, UA took the initiative to save Nagato's future. That's why you can see Nagato-kun at UA for some time now."

"But our efforts were only slightly fruitful. Either Nagato-kun is too apathetic or he's still wary of us." Nezu paused to take a breath.

"That's why I'm asking for your participation to help UA change Nagato-kun. It may be true that Nagato-kun still feels wary of us pro heroes and adults. But you guys are different from adults. Nagato-kun probably won't feel too wary of you. That's why I'm asking for your help to participate in this project."

"Of course you can refuse if you don't want to. I'm not forcing you. But one thing I emphasize. This project is confidential. Even the pro heroes outside UA are completely unaware of this project. So I want you to keep quiet if you are not participating."

Silence...

The information conveyed by Nezu was really concise and clear. Until the room was silent because everyone was still trying to digest everything Nezu had said.

"...Huh?" Bakugo's voice broke the silence. Then other voices chimed in.

"We have to befriend that little villain."

"Can you leave us out?"

"It's dangerous!"

"Why do we have to come too?"

"Sensei, even though he's small, he's already a villain!."

"Is her safety guaranteed?. I mean, you know, that kid is a villain."

"Sensei, you mean, you're asking us to interact with villains, it's risky. Did Sensei ask our parents for their approval?"

Midoriya did not join the protest because he had been told by All Might earlier about this. Todoroki also just silently watched his friends. While Bakugo who was usually the noisiest was also quietly ignorantly watching the noise in the room.

Most of the voices that Nezu and Aizawa-sensei could filter out were protests.

"Will there be a reward?"

Well, except for this one last word.

"Shut up!" Aizawa-sensei's stern voice echoed in the classroom. Everyone immediately fell silent. Aizawa-sensei's floating hair went straight back down after using her quirk.

"Well, this way-"

"Wait a minute, Nezu-san." Nezu only smiled as Aizawa-sensei interrupted and took one step forward.

"Let me ask you, what is the purpose of you entering this School?!" There was a hint of anger in Aizawa-sensei's stern voice.

There was silence for a moment. Then a voice answered.

"To become a pro hero?" I don't know who said this sentence. But this voice sounded low.

"Then I'll change the question. What does a pro hero do?" Aizawa-sensei looked at each of his students. This was such an easy question, even a kindergartner could answer it. But most people in the class averted their eyes when they met Aizawa-sensei's gaze.

Obviously everyone in the class knew the mandatory duties of pro heroes. That is to save and help society.

Facing the silence, Aizawa-sensei asked once again. But in a tone that sounded sarcastic. "With what intention did you enter this school. Answer me."

"We want to be pro heroes!" The class answered in unison.

"Good, then you know what to do, right? As an aspiring pro hero from UA, don't embarrass me." Aizawa-sensei looked sharply at each of his students. Although from the beginning she had rejected her students' involvement with Nagato because it was risky, but Aizawa-san never refused to carry out her duty as a pro hero.

In Nagato's case, Aizawa-sensei did take part in the project of changing Nagato's future. As Nezu said, as a pro hero he could not just let Nagato's future be bleak if he became a villain.

Therefore Aizawa-sensei was angry at the choice of his students who hesitated to help Nagato. Why would they enter the School of Heroes if they didn't care about helping people?.

If there were indeed students like that. Then Aizawa-sensei would never hesitate to expel him from his class that very second.

Facing Aizawa-sensei's anger. The room was still silent. They had never seen Aizawa-sensei's anger because usually Aizawa-sensei would just sigh or stare sharply. But this time Aizawa-sensei even snapped at them.

"Of course there will be rewards." Nezu was still smiling as usual while saying this. Completely unaffected by the tense atmosphere Aizawa-sensei created.

....

"You only have one week left." Aizawa-sensei was about to open the classroom door after the lesson ended.

"Wait a minute Sensei, but isn't there still two weeks before the exam?" Kaminari asked as Aizawa-sensei opened the door.

"That's because the next week is for you to study. I don't accept C's, so study hard. Don't just focus on Nezu-san's project. You need to graduate from school first before you can become a pro hero."

*No!

The door closed, and Aizawa-sensei had already left.

"No!, why don't I have a smart brain?"

"I want to swap brains!, Hey Todoroki!, swap with me!. I'll pay for it!." Mina and Kaminari who were the last two ranks grumbled.

Other voices began to be heard after Kaminari and Mina. The dismissal bell had already rung. The classroom was crowded and noisy as usual.

Midoriya was also cleaning up his books. Iida and Uraraka had walked out of the classroom first. As usual they were waiting for Midoriya outside.

All Might said earlier about the existence of All for one, the creation of one for all, then there was Shigaraki Tomura, and Nagato as well. All those things were intertwined and connected.

All Might had already said not to think about it. But Midoriya couldn't seem to not think about all those things.

Since the beginning, All for one was indeed a villain, so was Shigaraki Tomura. But Midoriya thought not with Nagato.

Just like All Might. Midoriya thought that Nagato was just a victim who was accidentally dragged into this matter.

Midoriya walked out of the classroom while thinking about that. Midoriya could feel anger at the thought. How cruel, All for one to dare to use Nagato who obviously didn't know anything because he was still a child.

"Nagato-kun must be saved." Midoriya muttered as he walked.

"What's wrong with me?"

Midoriya gasped in surprise at the childish voice. After looking around, Midoriya saw the owner of the childish voice.

Red hair and red clothes. Only one eye was visible on the cold but childish face as usual.

"N-nagato-kun, why are you here?" Midoriya stammered as he asked Nagato who was standing there silently.

"Shut up."

"Wh-what?. why?." Midoriya saw Nagato walking away after asking him to be quiet.

"Wait, Nagato-kun!." Midoriya followed after Nagato.

"Why are you following me?" Nagato's voice sounded displeased. Midoriya also saw the boy frowning. Nagato was like this. Looks difficult to approach.

"That..., Dad," Midoriya was also confused as to why he was following Nagato towards the back of the school where there were many forest training grounds.

It was probably because of his conversation with All Might earlier. Or the project Nezu said. Or maybe Midoriya himself already felt sympathy for Nagato.

Seeing Nagato who always wanders alone without anyone. Obviously because Nagato has no friends. Somehow it was Midoriya who felt lonely when he saw Nagato who was often like that.

Nagato who wasn't even ten years old. Alone, without parents or friends. Midoriya couldn't help but think how lonely Nagato was. Maybe Nagato often wandered around because he wanted to keep busy and didn't want to feel lonely.

"Nagato-kun, I...,"

"Shhh," Nagato whispered. "I said be quiet."

"Why?" Midoriya began to get nervous when Nagato spoke softly.

Instead of answering, Nagato crouched down in the bush. Midoriya who was nervous and confused also squatted down.

"What's wrong?" Midoriya whispered. Nagato quietly pointed to the sky that was starting to turn reddish. Midoriya looked at the place Nagato pointed to.

What's wrong with the sky? Midoriya looked at the sky in confusion and then looked at Nagato next to him.

Then Midoriya realized. Nagato's posture was now a stance. One of his knees was bent deeply as if storing strength before being released. Nagato's eyes focused on the sky as if waiting for the right time.

Seeing Nagato's situation, Midoriya could not help but be affected. Then,

*Wuss!

Midoriya only blinked once and Nagato who was beside him was gone. With surprise Midoriya looked at the sky that Nagato pointed to earlier. It turned out that Nagato was already there.

How is that possible?

Midoriya has often seen Nagato and Bakugo dueling. But Midoriya had never seen Nagato use speed like this. Almost similar to All Might's speed.

It seemed like it wasn't just Midoriya who had improved after the apprenticeship.

Even Nagato-kun had improved. Midoriya smiled at the thought.

Nagato who floated for a moment in the sky then fell freely. Midoriya, who was already in the air, was ready to jump to catch him.

But then Midoriya undid his intention when he saw Nagato's falling speed decreasing. Nagato's feet slowly stepped on the grass.

"Are you still here?" Nagato looked at Midoriya.

Midoriya smiled and approached Nagato. "Yes, I thought what were you doing suddenly jumping into the sky. You surprised me, Nagato-kun."

"Oh, I caught this." Nagato unfolded his hand. It turned out that there was a black bird in his little hand.

"He stole the key to the cleaning room. Nezu-san asked me to look for it before going home. Otherwise, there won't be any toilets to clean tomorrow because the janitorial room is locked." Nagato took the key from Itachi's mouth casually.

"I see." Midoriya laughed awkwardly. So the rumors about the thieving bird living in the school were true.

Nagato walked away with Midoriya.

"What did you just say?"

"Huh, what words?" Midoriya had forgotten how many words he had said earlier.

"About me being saved. What about me?" Nagato casually asked.

"That's..., haha there's really nothing. Forget it." Midoriya averted his eyes when he saw Nagato staring at him in surprise.

"Oh yeah Nagato-kun. Can I be your friend?" Midoriya's sudden question made Nagato look at him strangely.

The main character wants to be friends with me? Isn't that the same as me having to face every problem that will befall the main character?.

Just imagining it makes Nagato dizzy. Nagato didn't answer and instead quickened his pace.

"Wait for me, Nagato-kun!."
