2 0002: Owning a Cafe
Izuku looked at the timer and then realised this was real. But then what was 'HyperTech' and 'Resident Evil'? The latter sounded a lot like the game Resident Villain but was it some kind of upgrade to it?
His head was flooded by more questions like 'Was this his quirk?' and more. Yet it now seemed he had a goal to set up a gaming cafe, judging by the fact it offered a game with the cafe. His dad did suggest it as an idea and to be honest running a cafe where he can play games with others seemed nice.
So he got out of bed and cleaned himself up and checked his phone. Selling his merch had given him quite the ample fund excluding what his dad also offered. As he sat eating cereal that morning his mum walked in yawning.
"Morning, Izuku. How did you sleep sweetie?" She asked half asleep.
"I slept alright. But I had an idea for what I want to do as a business." He replied by taking the kettle from his mum to fill at the tap.
"Is that so, what do you plan?" She asked curiously.
Taking a deep breath he spoke. "I want to open an internet cafe."
He looked back into his mother's emerald eyes and watched the gears in her mind spin trying to find a response. "Are you sure?" was what she came up with.
"Of course, they are generally self sufficient besides managing something. We don't really have something like that in Mustafu and besides this is the city of UA there will definitely be plenty of highschoolers and the like as customers."
"Izuku, that's wonderful. But we need to plan this first and definitely talk to your father first. After all, we need to make sure you have all the needed credentials and registrations." She said resolutely. Looking him in the eye she saw the determination in that focus.
Izuku smiled and nodded. Thankfully it was a weekend which meant he could spend some time looking at buildings and planning. Although he would need to find an excuse for where his computers are coming from. At that moment he heard a familiar beep as a voice spoke in his head.
"You didn't think this glorious system had not prepared an alibi." came a haughty female voice. "For your cafe you can explain it as a franchise sponsored by the system. Since we do have an official website you can use to cover your tracks for this just search it up. The website is…"
Izuku hastily picked up his phone. "HyperTechCafe.co.jp"
Once he hit enter he was presented with a very well formatted website with bold lettering of 'HyperTech' in the centre. Quickly browsing the website it looked like it was legitimate.
"Of course it's legitimate, there is nothing but the best which is produced by the system after all." Came the voice, reading his thoughts once again. It really sounded like a feminine Bakugo. Especially with its ego. "Don't worry we sent an email to your account to state you have been accepted as a franchisee once you obtain a location."
Izuku decided to show this to his mum so he could possibly speed up the establishment of the store.
"Uhh, mum. I do have the site of the company that runs the franchise on hand. Also I do have the email. I was thinking of this a little while back so I tested my luck with an application for franchise ownership." He told her the email and then the website. He had lied a little but nothing that would be harmful.
Inko was stunned looking at her son having already been so thoroughly prepared despite him seeming to have just decided the idea first thing this morning.
"Okay, Izuku if you are serious and already have this confirmation. We can start looking at properties since it's my day off. But even though you are already considered an adult, next time tell me when you sign a contract." She scolded lightly.
"Got it." He responded meekly.
Then they called up Hisashi who seemed ecstatic at the idea of Izuku attempting to break into a niche business for a startup. Hisashi was the kind of person that loved taking long shots and for him that always seemed to work. Even though it did end up with him having to run his business in person in America. It did not help that he was in the hospital a few years ago from an accident when a villain attacked the company while he was talking to them. When Izuku brought up how the franchise had 'Resident Evil' he seemed ecstatic talking about how his little brother had loved that game and it was technically considered 'retro' to most.
After that talk his dad sent a little more than what he promised to give Izuku saying he would love to visit when he can. Soon he and his mother were spending time at the table looking at spots they thought would be best for the cafe.
Eventually they found a location for sale quite close to UA with an apartment on the top. So they decided to contact the seller to check it out.
Getting to the cafe was a relatively quick train ride around thirty minutes away. They were soon greeted by the two story building which peering in was hollowed out for the most part. The contract was discussed and they were happy to allow Izuku to have the store registered with documents byMonday. Yet once Izuku signed the contract handing ownership on that table he heard a ding.
Once he had gotten home he had called up the screen to see it had some updated information.

Looking over his stats he was surprised by them. Though he did look sadly at how low his Constitution and Strength was. He remembered how each stat in most games were important and he decided that he would like to be a little stronger and less frail so he put two points into strength and one in constitution. Then looked over his stats again

Izuku felt his breathing easier a bit more than it normally did. Nothing major but it was a lot more comfortable after all Bakugo left his lungs ridden with smoke inhalation from burning most of his things everyday. While he poked his arm and felt how they were firmer than before and when he flexed his arm he could actually see the bicep raise a little. His eyes lit up at the potential of this, his quirk, this system could make him stronger.
"User, can you please check the new mission logs." The system asked.
"Okay, also System?"
"Yes?"
"Are you a girl?"
It paused for a while. "I think so? I never really thought about it. But yes this glorious system will declare themselves as a woman."
'Yep, definitely a girl Bakugo.' Izuku thought.
"Noted." Then Izuku went to open the mission interface.
