Chapter Text
Shota glared at the green haired teen who was sitting down in the chair in front of him that Shota used to trust and care for. He couldn’t believe it when some students came and told him about the suspicions of Izuku Midoriya being the UA traitor, at first. But as soon as he looked further into it, it was getting more and more like it was the truth.
The teen had ridiculous closeness and favoritism from All Might. The teen was a favorite among most teachers. Most students were usually enchanted by the boy as well.
Shota clenched his teeth. He knew he should have expelled this damn kid when he had the chance, at the beginning of the year. Shota was thankful that he told his class in time to not trust the traitor. Although, a few selective kids still trusted Midoriya, believing even if he was wrong, he was in the right. Sadly that included Bakugou, Todoroki, Uraraka, Yaoyorozu, Tokoyami, and Iida.
The kid swallowed nervously, unknown to him that Shota knew his secret. “Aizawa-sensei, er, why am I staying behind?”
Shota almost snapped immediately. The villain didn’t deserve to call him that. Shota calmed down with a few deep breaths. “Izuku Midoriya. Do you not know why you’re here?”
The kid tilted his head, weirdly child-ish for a villain. “No, why?” The kid glanced around the surroundings, and his face immediately neutralized. Did the villain recognize this as an interrogation? “W-what do you mean, sensei?” There was too much nervousness that seeped into the villain’s voice.
***
“Do you not know your crimes?” Aizawa-sensei slammed his desk, although not letting any of his things fall off, and leaned closer to Izuku. Izuku tried to lean away.
“C-crimes?” Izuku’s voice was slightly broken. Did Aizawa-sensei find out about his counts of stalking? “I swear I didn’t stalk anyone!” exclaimed Izuku, while waving his hands. “They just get creeped out by my analysis notebooks a lot.” Or was it that he was previously quirkless. “I swear, I didn’t do any crimes! They were all falsely accused.”
Aizawa-sensei only visibly clenched his teeth before sitting back down. “That’s not what I’m talking about, but that may relate to your other crimes.” There was an emphasis on the word ‘other’.
“What crimes?” Izuku bit his inner lip. He had no idea what this could be then.
Aizawa-sensei eyed a drawer, opened it, and grabbed something, before slamming the drawer close. Izuku's eyes widened, before exhaling in relief. It was the notebook that he had all his classmate’s information about, and dear Kami Izuku thought the notebook somehow got in the hands of a villain. Yes, the notebook was coded, but it was just a mixture of languages, so it could be decoded with a language quirk or something. “You found my notebook?”
***
The villain’s eyes sparkled as he stared at the notebook that contained all the information about Shota’s class. “Yes. This notebook that you could easily sell information about.” Shota actually took a few weeks trying to crack the code for this with all attempts of failure.
Luckily, he was able to get Nedzu to crack it, although the principal just gleamed and said something about a mixture of languages in the code, before taking it for over a month, before giving it back with a smirk. Nedzu just said it contained information about his classmates, it was quite interesting, and to give it back to the owner, if Shota knew who it was. Nedzu muttered something about calling the owner to his office. Even though Shota nodded, he knew it was Midoriya’s.
“Sell information about my classmates?” There was a hint of ‘this accusation was absurd’ in the villain’s voice. The villain gave a dumbfounded expression before shaking his head. ‘Absolutely not. Why would I endanger people close to me?”
“Close to you? Why would the UA traitor be close to anyone?” yelled Shota, slamming the table again.
The villain’s expression darkened immediately, and looked at the ground. Shota knew this was because the villain finally realized he was found out.
***
UA traitor? Is that what the whispers were? There were a few mutters about the UA traitor when Izuku passed by. Oh dear Kami. The first time that happened, it was like three and a half months ago.
“If I’m the UA traitor…what are you even going to do?” Izuku narrowed his eyes on the man. “Arrest me? Waterboard me until I spill their plans? Execute me? Burn my face off? Keep me into Tartarus?”
Izuku looked straight into Eraserhead’s eyes, and laughed. “You do realize I mostly memorize every single fact I write right? I don’t need the notebooks to spill shit. The notebook only just organizes things better. AND let’s not forget my notebooks are coded. The only person to know my code is Principal Nedzu, meaning you asked him without revealing your true intentions towards Nedzu.”
Izuku huffed, as he folded his arms, keeping his eyes on Eraserhead. “Plus, you stole my notebook, in the first place, didn’t you? I can excuse you for stealing and going through personal items.”
***
Shota narrowed his eyes, as the kid practically confessed. He ignored the word ‘if’ as it was reality, not a hypothetical. Shota blinked a few times as the green haired listing ways to punish himself. He was not, absolutely not scared of the very neutral tone the kid used while listing them. Shota finched as he noticed the glare and very unhinged smile on the teens' expression as the kid continued.
Shota almost widened his eyes at the information that the teen actually memorized what he wrote in those dangerous things. That meant the notebooks were useless to him, well unless, of course, the kid was lying.
Shota didn’t know if the former information was more surprising or the fact Nedzu actually knew about the notebooks. Did Nedzu already know about Midoriya’s ability? If so, why would he phrase it as if the principal didn’t? He even mentioned an intelligence quirk, and Midoriya is known to have only a super strength quirk. Did the kid get quirks from an unreliable source in exchange for selling information? Shota clenched his teeth.
Shota then was startled when the teen accused him of stealing. Well, he did technically, but not after multiple reports of the kid being the UA traitor. “And as if you aren’t the UA traitor, ”Shota snapped.
The kid winced. “And you only did this to me…?”
“You are the one with the report of being the UA traitor,” blandly replied Shota.
***
“Was it Haniko and Polinao?” Those two had been bothering Izuku as soon as they saw him. They hated and detested Izuku because he caused most, if not all, of his class to talk to Mei about support items, and that one time he accidentally bumped into them while in a rush. Most of his friends know about them though.
Eraserhead stayed silent for a bit. “That is none of your business.”
“They did, didn’t they?” Izuku laughed at the ridiculous actions. “And did they talk about my notebooks that I constantly stare at while asking Mei for items? Is that why you took them?”
Eraserhead seemed to be stumped by the question.
Suddenly, the speaker in the classroom gives a beep. “Principal Nedzu here. Can Izuku Midoriya and Shota Aizawa please report to my office?” Another beep.
Izuku forgot about the tea time he had with Nedzu. Izuku stood up, as another beep. “I repeat, Izuku Midoriya and Shota Aizawa report to my office.” And another.
Izuku glanced around and found the camera in the classroom. Izuku bit his inner lip as he realized this area wasn’t covered in the cameras. Izuku stepped a bit back to be in view of the camera, knowing that Nedzu would be looking at them. “Should we go?”
Eraserhead scowled, and nodded.
