Chapter 11 - School… oh the horror…

Yeah I'm never showing up to elementary school. Nezu already told me that because he pays extra for my tuition they will allow me to not show up as long as I submit tests with the rest of the class and stay near the top. Homeschooling is frowned upon and maybe even illegal so I will make do.

I'm pretty sure I could do all the tests anyways considering my past life but I'm still gonna revisit it with my photographic memory. It's good to have it in the tank so when the time comes I can show these brats who knows all the times table up to twelve.

'Heh.'

"Are you monologuing again Takaba?" Sekijiro said disapprovingly.

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

"Think fast."

*Bonk*

"OWWW!"

—3 months later—

"Takaba. Time to show you the support course." Nezu walked up to me and grabbed my hand as I measured myself.

"Got it." I continued measuring myself. "Stop tugging. Let me finish this first. Please."

"No."

"Got it."

——

"Takaba this is Power Loader. Power loader this is Takaba."

"Isn't this guy a little bit young for a high school Nezu?" Power Loader asked while stratching his head.

"He's smart enough at least." Nezu said while shaking his head.

"Clearly not." I grumbled.

"As long as your inventions don't explode the workshop you can work here." Power Loader said while showing Takaba in.

"Wow. There is so much… there are so many inventions?" Takaba said while looking at a pile of random devices.

"If you need anything then come to me alright?"

"Okay got it."

"Good." He then got back to his creation and worked away.

I, however, walked around before sitting down far away from Power Loader and pulled out some tools and got working on the shell of a drone.

'I could make this in seconds using my quirk but this helps with understanding. I'd rather make it by hand first since I'm going to mass produce it.'

—4 months later—

I'm consistently at the top of my class so I've just been training lately. I don't have any teachers at the moment other than maybe Power Loader. We kind of just have an unspoken agreement though. I work in his shop or bring by inventions and he improves it.

The improvements help me understand a mechanics way of thinking rather than mine which is to absorb a textbook and just recreate it. He's teaching me innovation basically, we don't talk to each other I just plonk down opposite him and wait.

Sekijiro is busy working his way to be a full time teacher rather than a support. Recently Nezu told me that a guy called Cementoss is coming to teach next year who has a really handy quirk and can allow for even larger scale projects for Nezu. I kinda feel bad for those students.

—1 year and 5 months later —

I've done so much since back then. Mainly physical training and trying inventions/ideas out. I thought of one reasonable ultimate move and one unrealistic ultimate move. I've always been working apart from my birthdays which I spend with Nezu and the random parts of term when Nezu takes me out for random things.

Recently I've been training in stealth around campus and although it was hard at the start I'm a lot better now. There are rumours of a blue haired spirit haunting campus unfortunately.

That ghost be me. Nezu talked to me about it and he only scolded me for getting caught. In his words: "if you have an idea you have to make sure it will succeed. Also I noticed you stealing my biscuits".

Now that I think about it he was more mad about the biscuits. Maybe that's what the conversation was about. Sounds like him. Speaking of Nezu, I can call him dad without thinking about it now. It was quite the challenge but I'm all good now.

There is a problem though. All Might's injury has happened. I'm sure I'll see him around UA at some point. Anytime anything goes on around UA there's a high chance I'll know. Although the only reason I haven't seen All Might is because Nezu has kept me busy.

He will introduce us when he wants to, it's not a big deal to me.

Someone's pointing at me. They noticed me in the tree so it's time to dip.

—2 years later—

I've met a new teacher. Lunch Rush. He's a nice guy who leaves out a plate for me to grab in the corner of his kitchen. I decided to learn the basics of cooking from him since my quirk is so versatile I might as well be a jack of all trades in some way.

I've also kept up my position as a ghost. People mainly see me napping in random spots around campus so I'm semi-relevant. I'm basically like a monkey in a zoo at this point. Or should I say cat? Whatever.

I don't see Recovery Girl often but we are on pretty good terms. She has asked me to promise that when my year comes I'll do my best to stop my class from visiting her but I don't think I can stop that so much.

Me and Power Loader get along well. Haven't said a sentence to each other in years but we get each other. Couple of grunts is all we need. A simple life it is.

Sekijiro teaches me from time to time but is more occupied with his official teacher job. Same for Hound Dog although I don't know him that well so I only nod my head at him when I see him. He's head of discipline something something now. I forgot already.

I'm small. But still taller than Nezu. I think he really wants to be able to sit on my shoulders or something but it's not looking good in the height department for me.

In the meantime I'm going to work on my special blanket designed specifically to get the best sleep. I might even branch out into making a sleeping bag version for when I'm travelling or something… I don't know. Sounds cool though.

Cementoss is a new addition. He's actually the one who pointed me to the stairs when I first infiltrated UA. He was only a student back then though. A teacher called Snipe also joined. He helped me with using long ranged weapons and aiming using a multitude of weapons.

—1 year later (April 1st)—

"Happy Birthday!"

There were a couple of people here. Nezu, Recovery Girl, Power Loader, Cementoss and Sekijiro. It was a pretty quaint celebration with most leaving after 10 minutes and some cake.

The only remaining three was me, Recovery Girl and Nezu. Recovery Girl was double checking that I knew how to provide first aid and that I summoned all the correct items in my medical kit.

Nezu was watching as Recovery Girl hit me with her little stick every time I got the labels wrong.

"Dad can you help me… it's my birthday after all." I whined.

"Birthdays are days for fun Recovery Girl. So please, keep going, I'm having slot of fun watching right now." He chuckled afterwards.

"TRAITOR!"

*Bonk*

Recovery Girl hit my head with her stick. "Don't shout so close to my ears."

"Yes ma'am."

A/N: I'm speed running time skips and not making statistics for Takaba so I can be lazy later on.
