S:THMH 22 Tips

"Uh..." Denki looked a little overwhelmed. "What?"

Dabi(realizing): Oh @(#$&^!

Jana: Language.

"Come here." Midoriya waved him closer. "Let's experiment and see if this is even possible."

Electra's jaw dropped as she watched Midoriya talk Denki through a new usage of his quirk. It wasn't something that she had ever even considered, but would have so many applications in hero work if he could master it. Maybe... maybe her kid getting kidnapped by the Shadows wouldn't be all bad.

Mirko: Okay someone just tell me what in the world is going on!

Jana: No spoilers.

Hanzou's murder was a dead end, not that the students had figured that out yet. Nezu sipped his tea as he watched the students search for clues that the Shadows hadn't left behind. It was a frustrating lesson in cold cases, but one that they would have had to learn eventually. They were doing decently well, all things considered, even if there were perhaps opportunities for improvement. They needed to take a step back, for one, and look at the bigger picture, but they were scared and confused, so he wasn't going to grade them too harshly on that little detail. At least, not yet.

Tamaki: Not helping...

While the second years were busy looking for things they wouldn't find, the Shadows were once again proving that the staff shouldn't have underestimated them. It was impressive how quickly Midoriya had discovered the weaknesses of Kaminari's quirk and the way he had used the other two's quirks as inspiration had just been positively delightful. Nezu took another sip of tea and smirked when he realized that Aizawa was glaring at him. It didn't surprise him that Aizawa had noticed his excitement, in fact, Nezu would have been disappointed if he hadn't caught on.

After a moment, Aizawa heaved a sigh, "You can read those plans on the wall, can't you?"

Nezu: Of course!

"Oh, mostly." Nezu set down his cup. "Midoriya's annotation technique could be improved to make it a bit more concise and easy to understand, especially when he is working in a team, but his intent is clear enough for the most part."

"And, you're already making personalized lesson plans for him." Aizawa groaned. "I wish I was surprised, but I'm really not."

Nezu chuckled, "As if you're not doing the same. Two heroes who focus on stealth and logical ruses? I'm surprised I haven't seen adoption papers already."

Inko: Would everyone stop trying to adopt my son?

Kamui: I mean the dad slot is available-

Inko: Not you too!

"I've been busy." Aizawa rolled his eyes. "What do you think of their methods?"

"They're no more nontraditional than yours, Eraserhead." Nezu pointed out. "Although, I am curious as to how they plan to apply these tactics to hero work, assuming that is their plan. I'd love to pick their brains after this whole thing is over. Ah! It looks like they're splitting up again!"

Midnight: Wait splitting up?

Aizawa narrowed his eyes, "I would have thought they'd stay together a little longer."

"Not if they want to be ready for tomorrow." Nezu giggled with excitement. "There's just too much to do."

Mic: ...And now I'm worried.

"So..." Denki broke the silence as they walked away from the apartment. "What do you think of the Shadows?"

"They're creepy as hell, but they're good at what they do." Kyoka said. "I just wish I knew what they were after. One minute, they're killing heroes and the next they're agreeing to train us for no other reason than Midoriya finds our quirks interesting. And I still havn't seen them go after a single objective."
