Chapter 23: Chapter Twenty Three
"That doesn't mean you can shred someone just because they can regenerate. Much less cut a person's palm off just because their quirk may be a threat."
All might said, visibally restraining himself from raising his voice. Ayato didn't care, as the burly man said, it could have been a threat, he couldn't risk himself dying then, he would be leaving too many people behind.
"I have too much to live for to risk my head, I can't leave people that care for me behind just because of the small chance that I would come out unharmed even if I did nothing."
The blonde released a sigh as he intertwined his fingers and placed his elbows on the table in front of him, leaning his head on them. Nezu however, hummed in thought, while placing his small paw on his chin, or what passed off as a chin, anyway.
'Yes, you have quite a few people that care for you, Your parents, grandparents, Yukimori Rin, a student from the general course. Her parents too. I have no doubt that you also made many friends before you arrived here as well."
Behind his blindfold, Ayato narrowed his eyes, he wouldn't mention Rin for no reason, the rat wanted something from him, or from her. The teen restrained himself from controlling the wind to strangle the rodent right where he sat. He wouldn't be manipulated.
"She has a very interesting Quirk, something that can be used for good. She is wasting her potential if you ask me. The upcoming sports festival would be a good opportunity to transfer her to the hero course-"
"You say that like you won't be giving her a choice."
The hyper intelligent mouse paused, looking up from the papers where Rin's information was undoubtedly written. He could feel the animals stare on him as tension rose in the room. The young dragon could feel Midnight tense along with All Might, while Aizawa remained impassive, only tilting his head slightly towards him.
"Of course she will be given a choice, however, I don't want her talent to be wasted, I'm sure you know yourself how useful her Quirk would be in an emergency situation. You two are living together after all. Besides, it will be good for you too, since you will have a familiar face to interact with."
Translation: he will try to persuade her to join the hero course to try to keep him calm, with the goal being him restraining himself from acting in the way he did.
What he just said would have come off as something that would benefit him, them and the "Innocents" in the future. Ayato could see right through the charade. The schools were built to make heroes, even in general and support courses were leaning towards supporting heroes.
By the statistics that he looked up, most of the general course students became journalists, reporters, basically heading into media, even now, this early in the first year, they were learning how Quirks effected the body, how to treat the changed bodies in the biology class.
The support course was even worse. They had to work around the hero students. Built equipment for them that would make their quirks more powerful, make them more effective in certain situations and make their job easier only to get a chance to be recognized for their work and hired... To do the exact same thing.
"While that is true, I'm sure we have some other options that we would prefer, you wouldn't restrict our free will, would you, Principal?"
Translation: I have options, I don't have to stay here to do what I want.
Looks like the rodent didn't lac the ability to read between the lines, as he nodded and intertwined his fingers, placing his hands on the table.
"Indeed, young man, I would not."
-Flashback End-
The bell rung and Ayato snapped out of his thoughts as he stood up on autopilot, picking up his notebooks as he reached for his bag. He wanted to get home right now, the day was already stressful, and the fact that the sports festival was coming up in two weeks didn't make things easier.
His classmates were already weary of him, and all he wanted to do was go home and take a nap.
AS he left his desk and neared the door, he rose an eyebrow at Bakugo, the one that has been an annoyance for the whole day. He understood wanting to be strong, but no need to shout in his ear that he would "Kill" him to prove his strength. His ear was sensitive, damn it.
His Quirk supplied him with what was happening. There was a crowd of students just outside the door and more importantly, Rin was there.
Sighing at the stupidity of teens, he shoved past Bakugo, getting an angry yell in response as he faced the crowd of people. In front of him stood a shorter boy with a messy hair, it reminded him of what would happen if someone looked out of a speeding car's window and used the wind style their hair, just because it seemed fun.
Before the boy could even open his mouth, Ayato gathered Air in a straight line, enlarging it, creating an invisible wall that stopped right in front of Rin and with a thought the wall split in half, pushing the students to the side.
"Move."
He muttered as he started walking calmly towards the red-head who seemed to to school her features as he started his stroll toward her. The other student's tensed as he neared her, he could feel his classmates ready to run to him to try and restrain him if he did something drastic, forgetting the fact that he could stop them with just a thought.
The two "Stared" at each other for a few seconds before in a sudden move, Ayato bent at the waist, stealing a quick kiss from Rin and picking her up to perch her on his shoulder.
"Let's go home Rin."
She sighed, a small smile adorning her lips as he started walking. Ignoring the stares of the other students.
