I'm No Hero - Vigilante BNHA

Chapter 7: The Meeting

~ Meeting ~

What was I to do? I cant just waltz inside the building! ...Well, actually, that's a lie because I most certainly can. But it was too risky, what if there were students inside the building for whatever reason. Or what if teachers, who are literal pro-heroes and could argue their way into arresting me, attack me or worsen my injury? They could slow me down to the meeting with Nezu that I was already late to.

Sure I would get out of the arrest, because laws are not built for the quirkless anymore, and because I don't use a quirk, and because the police actually encourage me to do what I do... it would still possibly get my identity out there. And I can not risk, no, I will not risk those monsters taking me again. Or worse, going for the people I care about. Sometimes I still think it's a dream that I'm away from them at all.

It shouldn't matter anyway, what's the chances the teachers know what I looks like. There is like no close up footage of me online at all besides a few second clip from when I first started—I was being clumsy—and now that close up from that dimwit in the crowd who filmed me. Sure it will still be hard putting the pieces together that it is me, but many might remember what I look like from saving them or my fighting style. Everyone knows I wear a green mask, at least those who care to know anything about Hikari.

The teachers might think it's weird, though, for someone to come into school that isn't staff and doesn't have the school uniform on. And that I'm hiding my face. Damnit, I need to go home and delete that new video of me now. Hopefully, if teachers are roaming the hallways, they'll just leave me be.

I shook my head. I would have to just walk into the school. I didn't know what window Nezu's office was, and sure I could find out, but that would take a few minutes and I would be even more late. And it's much to risky to just scale the school and look through the windows.

Hesitantly, I walked into the entrance of the school, glancing around. Empty. Phew, okay, I was in the clear. For now, of course. Walking around the school—now somewhat knowing where I'm going, I forgot I printed out a map of the inside of UA. It was hard to find since UA hid it, probably for villain attacks, but I had managed to hack into the files they stored it in—I didn't run into any students or teachers. But slowly, I started to realize it was a bad thing that I couldn't find anyone.

I stuffed the map into my pocket, already having the path memorized. I walked up a stairwell to get to the next floor, the floor Nezu's office should be on.

Whispers. Before I even opened the door to the stairwell, I could hear talking. Multiple voices. I pause my movements, slowly pressing my ear onto the door. Was someone close? Was someone in the hallway? The voices were still muffled echos, meaning that the voices were probably not in the hallway connected to the stairwell door. They were too far away, and the voices were probably echoing from the lack of people up here.

I was in the clear. Carefully, to prevent any noise, I opened the door and stepped into the hall. I was right, no one was in this hallway. Slowly, I closed the door.

Now, obviously no students were in the hallway. And it seems like the voices were coming from the hallway I needed to go down. So, hopefully, these were people Nezu trusted that would not hurt me. So I walked down the hallway, trying to get closer to the meeting spot, just to find I was right. The voices were getting gradually louder. Eventually though, I was in front of a door. Teachers Lounge. The talking was coming from there.

Should I knock?

Now, maybe this is where the meeting takes place? Nezu didn't specify, or did he, I can't remember. Welp, I guess I could just stay here, because eventually someone will come out and I can ask them. And if they don't help me I'll just leave. Sure I'll have an upset Nezu on my tail, but hey, what else am I to do?
