Chapter 2
While Aizawa was too busy looking at the most beautiful person he has ever seen, Izuka moved off the table and noticed he’s staring. “Don’t you know it’s rude to stare at people, boy?” She said as she stood in front of him, making him snap out of his shock and look down at the green-haired beauty. It was only then when she came close to him, did he noticed the two green ears on top of her head and what seems to be about 9 tails swaying behind her. “Hello?” She waved a hand in front of him, once again gaining his attention. Aizawa blushed and hid his face within his capture weapon, “Sorry...” he mumbled, she nodded looking satisfied with his answer before walking over to Nedzu.
“How have you been, Zukun?” She asks with a smile, one that is filled with love and familiarity. Nedzu responded with his own smile, shocking the heroes with how sincere it was compared to his normal sadistic smiles, “I have been well, until recently,” he said with a hint of sadness in his voice. “Oh? Would that happen to be the problem you wrote in the letter?”, she asks as she lifts Nedzu up from his chair sitting down on it then placing Nedzu on her lap. “Yes, and now that you’re here we can start the meeting,” Nedzu said excitedly, not at all bothered being placed on her lap.
Izuka nodded, signaling Nedzu to begin the meeting, he hopped off her lap and onto the table. “Now, I would like to introduce my good friend Izuka, she is a yokai! And she will be here to help train the children and she can also help us with the Nomu if we ever encounter it again,” after he dropped that bombshell, many of the heroes started to ask questions all at the same time. Nedzu put a paw up and all questions ceased, “One at a time please,”, they all nodded and began to ask one after the other. He answered all their questions until Kan asked a very unique question.
“Nedzu you said she was a yokai, but those types of things don’t exist, right?” Kan, Vlad King, asked the chimera. And just as Nedzu was about to open his mouth Izuka jumped in, “We do exist; demons, yokai’s, and spirits all exist. We used to live freely and not having to hide so much against humans,”, she says with a look of fondness but also a hint of sadness was shown in her eyes. Aizawa looks at her expression, ‘Why is she sad?’, he thought to himself.
She continued, “But because of quirks many spiritual beings had to go into hiding, humans never really like us before anyway. Although many have gone into hiding, others use quirk mutations to their advantage. I bet some of your own students might be part yokai or any other spiritual being,”, she finished off her explanation. Kan looked at her with a weird expression, “How do you know if their yokai or whatever?”, she replied back with a smile on her face. “That’s the fun part, you don’t. But we can,”, this time Kayama had a look on her face, “We? Who are you talking about?” Izuka only smiled, this caused Aizawa to blush, “I’m talking about other being like I am. We have a certain trait to know if someone is like us or not,”, just as Kayama was about to ask, Nedzu jumped in, “As much as this was fun, I think it would be best if we end the meeting here,”, he said with his usual cheerful tone. Izuka nodded next to him, “Yes, I agree with Zukun. I’m sure you had things to do today,”, Nedzu then continued from there, “That’s right, well then I say this meeting is now over. If any of you have questions, you can talk to me later,”, the heroes there dumbly nodded as the two left the room without saying anything else.
“Zukun, are you sure it was alright to leave them?”, Izuka asked as they walked down the halls of UA. “Yes, they are after all adults Izu,”, Nedzu replied as she carried him like a child would carry their favorite toy. She chuckled which echoed through the halls making it sound louder than expected, “Yes, your right. I must say though Zukun, you have such interesting friends,”, Nedzu smiled. “That I do,”, they continued to walk until they reached Nedzu’s office.
“Ne, Zukun since I will be staying here where will I be sleeping?”, she asks the chimera. “Don’t worry, I have a certain place for you to stay in,”, he told her as he walked up behind his desk and sat in the chair, “I built a place for you if you ever came by and stayed”. Izuka nodded as she accepted the tea from Nedzu despite him not moving an inch since he sat there, “How thoughtful of you Zukun. And it’s nice to see that you don’t hate humans as much as you did before,”, Nedzu smiled and nodded at her. “Well, I could never blame someone for another’s action. And I love these children because we can mold them and guide them,” Izuka smiled softly at him, “It would almost sound like you’re manipulating them, Zukun. But I know that you wouldn’t do that because after all, I would hate if something were to happen to you,”
Nedzu visible shivered at her eyes. It was as though she was hunting for prey… and he was it. “Of course, not Izu I would never do that. I am simply guiding them to the right path, all though… I do wonder where I went wrong with Todoroki Enji,”, Izuka tilted her head. “That man who has been abusing his flames? What was he called… I think Endeavor?” Nedzu nodded, “Yes, that’s him. Honestly, I never taught him to be so brash.”
Izuka only shook her head, “It’s not your fault Zukun, maybe something must have happened for him to be like that. Maybe rivalry with another person or something in the family, you would never know what is up with the human mind. But that’s what makes them so interesting, ne?” Nedzu nodded as he handed her some folders, “I agree, that’s why it quite fun to teach children, their even more interesting,” when Izuka took the folders from Nedzu she tilted her head. “What’s this?”, she asked him.
“That is a folder containing information of the students you will be teaching.”
“Hmm, these are some interesting quirks. I’ve heard and seen similar quirks like these ones, but they’re so unique.”
“Yes, and this folder is information for the villains that attacked us and their creature.” He handed her a new folder labeled, Classified, in red. She took it and started to read the contents before closing it. “If you don’t mind Zukun, could I read this in my chambers?” Nedzu nodded and hopped off his chair, “Of course, let me show you to the place you’ll be staying in,” Izuka nodded her head in thanks, ‘What are you doing… Osamu?’
