(MHA X COTE) - Izuku Midoriya attended a private school for nearly 10 years, only to return home when it was shut down. He intends to enjoy a peaceful life, but will he be able to ignore the call to action when his hand is inevitably forced?

Izuku: Alright.
To say I was uncomfortable was an understatement. Making small talk was not a skill I'd acquired during my time at the...'school'.
Nedzu: Can I offer you some tea?
Izuku: Uh, no thanks. Is this going to take long?
Nedzu: Not really. I just want to talk with some students and see how they're settling in.
I didn't believe him. I was sure he wanted me here to ascertain something. I was sure HE KNEW that I KNEW something was up.
Izuku: Fine, I guess. It's nice.
Nedzu: Just 'nice'? Well, I suppose it can't compare to that academy you went to, right? Speaking of it, do you mind telling me about your time there?
Izuku: I mean, I remember being with a lot of snobby kids. I didn't really make many friends, though. I like U.A a lot more.
Nedzu: That's interesting. You know, I was shocked when I found out about the low acceptance rate.
Izuku: Really?
Nedzu: Afraid so. You didn't know?
He looked at me in a way that said, 'No matter how innocent I may seem, I'm onto you'. I simply shrugged.
Nedzu: I see. Well, that'll be all. Have a good day, Midoriya.
Izuku: Yeah, you too.
As I was walking back, I saw someone I hadn't really expected to see. All Might.
Izuku: Wow, All Might's really here... oops, I said that too loudly.
He was moving almost...cautiously. I'd caught his attention and he waved at me as I made my way back to the classroom. I wondered why All Might took up a teacher's position at this school. Maybe my way of thinking was wrong, but someone as powerful as him could be doing a lot of other things in the world right now. Though, times have changed. All Might doesn't patrol as much as he did in his prime.
Izuku: Maybe he's getting old...or maybe-
As I was lost in thought, I bumped into a girl I recognised from earlier. Momo Yaoyorozu.
Izuku: Ah, sorry. Are you okay?
Yaoyorozu: Y-Yes. Fine, thank you-
She stopped and looked at me as if I had just said something offensive. Was there something on my face?
Izuku: Is everything okay?
Yaoyorozu: Sorry! You looked familiar to me for a second.
Ah, so that was it.
Izuku: I've been told I'm fairly plain-looking. Maybe you're confusing me for someone else?
