Lessons

Walking into U.A. the next day far earlier than he actually had to. Wanting to see if he could meet his principal before the day started but honestly didn't have much hope of being able to do so without making an appointment. Then again he did heal All Might so he was probably a special case.

As he made his way through the gates, looking up at the giant glass building before him. The barely rising sun had washed over the windows shining the building with a warm orange glow. As he made his way forward he heard a voice behind him.

"Hendrix, you are very early. Much more than usual?" Her voice was curious as she walked towards him.

Turning around Nick saw Yaoyorozu walking towards him. His gaze looked over her as he tilted his head. Of course, she was here early, and the student council members were all getting here early to prepare for the upcoming sports festival.

Nodding his head Nick said, "I was planning on meeting with the principal, I have something that I want to discuss with him. What about you? Here for more planning?" He said as he slowed down so that she could fall into step beside him.

"Yes, I am here to prepare for the roles that Tenya and I will be having to fulfil." Her words were polite as she looked ahead.

Nodding his head he said, "Sorry if I was dismissive when I gave up the position of vice president. Honestly, I think that you are much better suited for the job. While I have my strengths management is not one of them. Thank you for taking on the role." He said as he looked at her. He didn't bother trying to force a warm smile, there was no point.

Looking up at him finally, she furrowed her brows a bit before nodding. Her face softened into a small smile as she said. "Thank you, Hendrix." Her voice was a bit less formal. She probably thought that he just passed the position onto her because he didn't want it. But now that she knew he thought she was better suited for it, there was a bit more understanding between the two of them.

With small talk filling the silence as they made their way into the building they parted ways as she left to the business classrooms to find where Ida was.

Nick made his way up the stairs to the top floors of the building. Walking to the principals' doors he knocked on them a few times. After a small moment of silence, the movement came from the other side of the door and he finally heard. "Come in?"

Opening the door Nezu looked at him, All Might sitting on one of the couches in his muscle form. Speaking Nezu said, "Nicklaus! An unexpected pleasure, normally people make appointments but I assume you wouldn't come without a reason, I do hope it is good news you come with." His voice was merry as he took out a large bottle and pump of hot water and motioned to his tea kit as he said, "Tea?"

"Something that can help me stay calm and think if there is such a magical brew," Nick said as he made his way into the office and sat down opposite All Might, nodding at the man as he received a nod back. Noticing the man's back had straightened he wondered what was wrong before it clicked.

"Oh nothing is wrong unless you are feeling anything odd then I think the healing went without a hitch?" His voice questioned, prompting the man to tell him if anything felt off.

"no, no young Hendrix, I have felt better than I have in a long long time thanks to you. I have been caught up in doing Hero work so I am sorry I have not come by to formally thank you. You have done a great deed for not only heroes. But for me. Thank you young Hendrix." All Might said as he bowed his head, reverting back to small Might.

"I can now use my transformation for almost 10 hours. It has been a massive blessing." Yagi finished as he kept his head low.

Smiling Nick said, "You're welcome, but please. Don't bow your head, I did what I should have done. That does bring me to why I'm here. Sorry if I am interrupting something I can come back at another time." He said as he accepted the teacup from Nezu who sat next to all might. He could catch the faint smell of honey from the cup. Before he could find out what the other ingredient was he tuned into Nezu who spoke up.

"Not at all Nicklaus! I was just asking All Might here to be the announcer for the events during the sports festival. Something I am sure that he will readily accept so as to not disappoint his young students!" The mouse said smiling at All Might.

Catching Nezu's gaze he turned to All Might and gave him a hopeful look, happily playing along with the games the mouse was playing.

Seeing the look that Nick was subtly giving All Might said, "Of course, I will accept, I wouldn't want to disappoint the new generation after all!" All Might said as he went into his muscle form and flashed a brilliant smile.

Shaking his head in slight amusement he smiled at Nezu as he said. "Well onto why I am here then, I want to heal more people, but I don't want it to be associated with me. Nick. I want it to be associated with another persona of mine that I can make."

His words were cautious, almost hesitant. Seeing this Nezu took a sip of his tea and said. "Well then let's talk it out! All Might I do believe that you have courses you need to plan for? After all, you have been missing them recently despite your current increase in health."

With a guilty look, All Might left the office as he made his way to do whatever work he needed. A quick goodbye was exchanged between him and Nick as he left.

"Well, he is often clouded by his desire to do nothing but good. But I believe that it would be best if he was not here for this discussion. I have an idea of what you want if what I know about you is correct?" Nezu said in a merry and amused voice, his smile kind.

Nodding his head he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I… I want to heal more people, I want to do it but I don't want it to be linked back to me. Since I don't want people coming to me in my private life and treating me like a prophet, I also can't heal everyone. Even if I spent all day every day healing I wouldn't be able to…"

"So I plan on healing heroes first and foremost. I can pretend to charge them or we can come up with a small deal where you pretend to pay for them. Something that will lead to Heroes getting free treatment but not unfair treatment." His voice was serious as he leaned forward, "Of course, if I think that the hero is not a true hero and is just doing it for fame or money then I will still be charging them… I hope that doesn't bother you."

Nodding his head Nezu took a sip of his tea as he looked at Nick and said, "Do you think that I am unfamiliar with the nature of heroes that I raise? I know that a lot of heroes are selfish and arrogant, but despite that, we overlook it because they are doing hero work at the end of the day. I am very much aware of the dark side of the hero society and the aspects of people that it always has and will continue to bring out. So I am fully understanding charging those that you don't accept as true heroes. I understand that. But that isn't why you are hesitant is it?" Nezu said. Providing Nick with the opportunity to bring up a tough point.

"I will also heal rich people that can pay for it. And since I clearly need to cover up the identity it will only work with appointments since I will need time that I can be there." His voice gained rhythm as he went over the idea and brought his thoughts forward.

"That all sounds well and good, it would also make sure that no suspicion comes towards it being a hero-focused business. Making it less likely to be targeted for just healing heroes… but what else?" Nezu said once more prompting. Nick's nervous demeanour gave away that he was thinking of something else.

"I… I also think that I will heal villains, at least those with influence and power. It is just an idea. But I don't think that it is a bad idea. From my perspective, I am thinking about how I will be able to know what is happening if they chose to reveal any information, that and I can plant bugs on them or a fail-safe in case some massive event occurs."

Nezu sat there for a moment as he thought it over. "Have you thought of the risks involved with this, if you were to be attacked by the villains? I am well aware of your strength but still the unexpected may happen. Also what if they find out you have placed a fail-safe, then not only might they attack you but they will also never trust you again. And once you use a few fail-safes some might become suspicious of you… as. Interesting as the idea sounds it would need to be very thought out before it happened. We have had heroes act as double agents, even some that have attacked heroes to keep their cover. But healing villains is a dangerous idea." Nezu argued as he put his paws together, looking over at Nick to see his reaction.

Leaning back into the seat Nick looked at the ceiling, he had considered it a good idea because he knew the future. But had he really thought over it properly. "I guess… I am confident in my skills to defend myself. That much I am sure of." Nezu responded with a nod, encouraging Nick to continue. "I guess you're correct about the fail-safes though. I just want to do more with my persona, someone more than just someone who heals people."

"Is there any point to healing villains if you cannot get anything out of it, for either yourself or for the good of others. Let's think about some points here." Nezu said as he started to raise the digits of his paws as he spoke. "I think that you might be able to find out unknown quirks and gather the information that normally we would not be able to. But is that all really worth it? Would healing villains gain you that much apart from helping them cause more strife?" Nezu finished as he thought of the points that he could make.

"I don't think so. I guess I am overestimating the information that I could gather from the other side… I do want to try and have an influence on their actions, however. I don't think I could with just being the doctor. I could only heal them in certain conditions and make it clear that I won't heal wounds that can be treated otherwise. I simply will be a neutral party…" Nick said, going over some thoughts that he was having.

"But is it worth it? Are you doing this because of what you think will be best? Or because you want to do it for some reason that you have convinced yourself that it is the best course of action for something that you think you can stop? I have seen many heroes act impulsively trying to stop something that they think will happen but only end up causing harm, 'for the greater good.' I have no doubt that your intent is honest and pure young Nicklaus, even if it is just to make sure that those you care about are safe before helping us. But actions always will have consequences Nicklaus, whether those consequences are good or bad. Or the intent itself is good or bad. I am not opposed to the idea. But we must have a solid reason to take a risk, not just because we feel it would be best. For now, have the doctor simply heal those that make appointments. From those who are rich to heroes."

Pouring himself another cup of tea Nezu wasn't finished speaking so he waited for the mouse to soothe his throat before he continued. "I will be happy to provide a clinic as well as someone to run it, we shall start with just healing Heroes and civilians but we will keep the idea of making it a neutral party on the table. At least for now." Taking another sip as he finished.

Nodding his head Nick also took a sip of his tea before staring into it, maybe he was acting too rashly, trying to stop something that he didn't even know would happen. Nezu had practically seen right through him, he knew the mouse was smart but now he was seeing he was not just intelligent but also incredible at reading people. That only left the problem of what did he do with Yo Hojo and Yomi… he would figure something out. He still wanted to get rid of the Marionette… at least for now, no one would be trying to rise to power because of All for One and All Might. But when they fell… then people would.

He would start setting up foundations for his own organization, that was probably the best idea for now. Then he could act and interfere with anything that changed because of his presence as he Hero outside of Hero's work. While Nezu had given him a lot to think about, he knew that healing villains was not the best idea. But making sure that he could have a hand in who rose to power once All for One fell? That would be useful, at least he thought so.

The removal of the Mafia because of Chisaki's death, just left the League as big players, that he knew about. He was sure that other groups would start to emerge. Even if Heroes would take care of them he could help in other ways. Take down people like the Marionette who despite being evil, never made it into Heroes Sights because of the cover of a legit business.

"Thank you Nezu, your right. I don't think I was thinking of the consequences. I like the idea because I want to be… more. But I didn't stop to think about it thought completely." Nick admitted as he hung his head a bit, he was still so immature in the ways of this world, it was all so much more complicated when powers were involved.

"Don't worry at all, I am glad that you sought out guidance instead of acting. I can understand why you would feel you want to do more. You are a large step above your peers, a very large step. But that does not mean you are not a student. For now, let yourself learn, let yourself grow. You can make the world a better and safer place when you know now. You don't need to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders just because you are different, you are still a kid. Learn and grow. That is an order as your principal. My doors are always open to those that need guidance." Nezu said kindly as he smiled. "You better get to class since it is starting soon, and I have a lot to do for the festival. Have a wonderful day Nicklaus, and do behave!" The principal said as he waved his hand, dismissing Nick.

Standing up Nick smiled as he said, "Well I don't plan to. I've got to make your life exciting somehow. Thank you again Principal Nezu. If you ever need help I will do my best to provide it."

With goodbyes said, Nick left the office and made his way to classes, he really wished that he could at least shadow Clone or something so that he didn't have to attend school. But he couldn't so it was time to handle English, the worse lesson because he spoke it… so he was always called out.

He would think about the sports festival for now, at least he knew that was happening. He would put off making any organization until he was able to properly think over it. Looking up from the floor he just let out a small sigh. He couldn't wait for lunch.

Thanks for all the support that has been given! Taking a bit of a turn it this chapter. Now that Nick has sort out help from others he has actually had someone else to help him sort through his thoughts of is what he wants to do right just because he thinks it will make a change.

As for him still starting an organization, I do think that is going to happen, how I will go about it is defiantly in the works for after the sports festival. But he does want to make sure that getting rid of Chisaki has made more groups come up once the two kingpins of japan are gone.

Thanks for all the support! Reviews and comments are more than welcome! Let me know what you think!
