With bullshit out of the way, such as the investigation and having to write a report, it's time for the second part: rescue! This is my weak point. I can't help people for my life unless I'm close friends with them. Otherwise, I might actually be somewhere in life.

However, first, I set a few things up. To start, I have no idea how I made it here because my legs are barely moving without pain. It doesn't help that my movement seems to be slowed down from the medication, so CAT is on my legs, letting me roll around. I don't have the top part, only the bottom. This leaves me with two scouts to help look for people.

Second, I hack the system. Before you say that it's illegal, it shouldn't be. If you have information on a villain base you are going to invade, you aren't going to ignore information just because it's 'unfair.' If you plan on doing that, get out of the field now. We don't need idiots on the stage. Anyway, I learn this isn't only a rescue mission: this is a fucking villain invasion! And you want to know who we are fighting?

The number ten hero: Gang Orca! That makes sense because he was voted as one of the top heroes that looks like a villain. However, he isn't a damn pushover. His quirk Orcinus gives him the attributes of a Killer Whale. Even though I deny they are going to build an ocean for him, he isn't someone to mess with on land either. He's a Killer Whale for god sake! It doesn't help that they are probably going to have an extensive support system for him.

This is a situation that is hard for pro-heroes, let alone teenagers. I can't say I didn't expect this because we need to be prepared for the worst.

Third and final, I roll to the middle of the room and clap my hands together to catch everyone's attention," Hey, everyone! As everyone should know, the next portion is a rescue test. With this, we are expected to work together. Now, let me prove to be a use to everyone right now: this isn't just a rescue event. There is a villain attack in the mix. Don't believe me? Here." I throw my phone at a random student, seeing their face drop along with the others around them.

"GANG ORCA?! HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO FIGHT HIM AND RESCUE?!" Mineta freaks out. I guess someone has to.

When Iida gets the phone, he quickly chops his arms toward me, "This is cheating, Izuku!"

"To be fair, they shouldn't have made it so easy to hack. Or put it down in general for that matter. Honestly, are you going to ignore free information? You wouldn't do it on the field, now would you?" Multiple heads shake no, " Flipping good. Now that we are on the same track, I have a plan. Anybody willing to follow?"

"Why should we, you quirkless?" A snarky boy decides to challenge me — wrong move.

"Do you have an idea? If you do, I would love to hear it! Otherwise, get off your high horse and let us strategize! I already proved myself multiple times, whether it be being here or the other incidents I was involved in." That got him to shut up real quick, "Good! Now, where are my long-range folks? More specifically, people who can get capture large amounts."

A few come up, but the main ones that come up are earthquake boy, Todoroki, Airbender, and hair boy. I think we understand hair boy, and earthquake boy was the one from the beginning who touched me without permission. Todoroki and Airbender, however, is a duo I can get behind. Sure, they keep looking at each other like they want to die, but if I can get them to work together, it could be a mighty team. I don't know everyone else's quirk too well, so I can't make teams there.

"You all are my first defense. You're going to knock out as many as possible to make the rest of our lives easier. I will be telling you where to go specifically. If we don't knock them out quick, we get screwed over. For everyone else, for now, I want to group people. I don't know everyone here, so I'm going to hope everyone can group themselves — team up with other schools. I recommend groupings based on anyone who can help injured folks, the rescue team, and close-combat, and long-range like I already have set up. To make our lives easier, Momo is in charge of injured, Uraraka rescue, Iida close-combat, and I will work with long-range. Everyone whose name I said, please raise your hand and go to each corner of the room. From there, go into smaller groups that can benefit each other. I can fly up and tell everyone where to go. The only other information I can tell you is that the field is the same as round one. Now get to it!"

Well, that got them to move quickly. Before the mess, I pass out a hand-held radio to the leaders I have set, so I have more access to what is going on. I move over to a corner to see who I got. There are about ten people; most can hold off a large group of people, but not stop them. For example, hair boy might be able to push them over, but unless he gives them a hairball. He can't really knock them out. That's still useful, so I'll take it! I'm able to create a quick plan.

"Alright, I will tell you the general area I want ya'll at. This way, when they come, you can attack quickly. However, I have an idea of how to start this off. Todoroki, I want you to freeze the door they are supposed to come out of. This should take a little bit of time. We want any time we can get. Once they break it, earthquake boy, I need you to use your tremors then. After that, Todoroki will use his ice to freeze them in place, and Airbender here will use his wind to bring up the cold to distract them. From there, we will figure it out. I'm worried about the small guys. We know Gang Orca, but not what the little guys have."

Airbender raises my hand, and I nod to him, " Do I have to work with him?" He says as he points at Todoroki.

"Yes. Do you realize how well you two could work together? Your quirks are meant to be together! Look, I don't know your vendetta with him, but unless you want to fuck over your chances, you have to get over it. You have to work with heroes you hate, whether you like it or not," I growl. We are wasting time with this.

"But he isn't a hero! He doesn't give people comfort, just like his father!"

Todoroki, like right before the Sports Festival, lashes out, " Don't you dare compare me to him!"

" It's true - "

"ENOUGH!" I scream, using my aura to get them to shut up. It screws everyone up for a moment, but they get back to work, " You aren't helping! If you two fuck this up, I will not hesitate to step in and do it myself." I focus on my breathing for a moment as I try to tug my hair only to find most of it under that stupid bandage.

The hairy dude catches my attention, " I'm sorry for his actions. It's not proper of him." I sigh.

"Not your fault. Alright, team up so -"

The intercom interrupts, " There has been a villain attack! Please report to the field!"

Fuck. That time went by way too quickly. I look to see the door starting to open into our next challenge. I throw my radio to Todoroki and zoom towards the door.

"LET'S DO THIS EVERYONE! WE HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE!" Might as well treat it like an actual rescue, " Patchy, wing mode! CAT, heat vision, radio, and pull up the programming in my visor. Scouts, start looking for people." CAT gets me out of the door, and the wings slam on my back. I fly up to gain an idea of the field because I have no idea where we are coming out from. The moment my feet leave the ground, I almost lose balance for a moment. The extra weight from CAT is not helping, but I need to do this. I adapt to the pain and go up. Alright, I can work with this. I see everyone coming out and swoosh down.

"Momo, the best place to set up camp is over there, " I point in the direction, " Long-rangers, go that way and start working, " I aim at another direction, " Everyone else, let's get to work! Todoroki, I'll show you where to aim ice. If a couple of rescue teams want to follow me, I can tell you where to go. I have heat vision on my visor to see people." With that, I head back into the sky and start guiding some people in the direction we need to go. Unfornitually, with the situation involving crumbled buildings, I had to sacrifice some of my long-rangers for now. As long as they come back, I don't care. We arrive on the other side of the city where they are supposed to come out.

Shit, there are so many people that need to be rescued nearby.

"Todoroki, freeze the wall in front of us. Everyone, start evacuating people from here, " I fly and lead my team to the people that need to be rescued, making sure Todoroki and earthquake boy are near the door. Meanwhile, I turn on my radio and go higher to be seen, " Izuku here. I need anyone fast to come to my location. Send another team."

"Uraraka is here, and understood! I sent another team to your location."

"Iida, I am coming."

"Momo and everything is going good here. Everything is working efficiently."

"Good to know. Hurry." Hopefully, they get here before the villains get here.

Suddenly, the ice shatters. God damn it, why you do this to me? I don't ask a lot from life here. I see Todoroki try to freeze only for it to be destroyed again from Gang Orca's sound wave.

"Earthquake boy, now is your chance!" I yell to him as I swoop down to see if there is anybody else that we didn't get out within the premises. The ground under him and his minions crumble, causing them to go off balance. However, go fucking figure when the hero suddenly appears in front of him and uses the sound wave on him. Damn it! I go down and pick him up to get him out of the way. Todoroki freezes them in place, but I see them start shooting at us. I stay low as I get us a distance. I hand him over to one of the rescue students before going to see what the substance is.

Fucking cement.

"Izuku here. Their weapons are instant-cement. I don't know limits, but if you are hit, you're fucked. Avoid being hit." I get an affirmative as I see the ice destroy, air causing them to fly down. I growl and turn to see Airbender trying to push them away. However, Todoroki then starts screaming at him.

A fucking mess. Focus, Izuku. Based on the programming, the whole thing finishes the moment we get everyone to the rest area. I can't babysit everything, so I'm hoping to Jesus, maybe even God at this point, that they will distract with their stupidity. They can go fuck themselves over as long as they don't hurt people. I was trying to avoid saving people because I wasn't sure if my equipment was safe enough to do so. Now, I have no choice. I find a person near the scene and land beside them.

Turns out, it's a kid. A little boy, to be exact. Oh boy.

"Hey, kiddo, let's get you out of here, eh mate?" I ask as I bend down to his height.

Of course, the boy has to make my life harder, " But I want to watch the fight!"

"That's what TV is for! The safe way of going about it without adding another body to the count! I thought we were past this era where people die of selfies."

"But, it's rare to see a fight this close!" The boy starts throwing a temper tantrum, causing some of the villains to look at us. They raise their weapons to aim at us, but I'm not taking the chance. I snatch the kid up and soar into the air. I make sure to avoid being hit as we get away from hell.

"Because people die that close, kid! That's the reality of things. You need to be careful." Thankfully, the kid settles down by looking around as we are in the air. This isn't the place to freak out. With luck, I find Iida and drop the kid off with him, "I may have traumatized the kid so just a warning. " With that, I go back to the action to help people.

Todoroki and Airbender are still fighting amongst themselves. Welp, I'm pretty sure they are failing this. If it gives the villains a show, I can deal with it. I had to call my close-combatants in because the extra villains are starting to come towards the base.

While I was checking the areas for anyone else, I notice the battle go way off the bar.

Gang Orca aims his supersonic wave at me. I didn't have time to react! He made the hit, and I crashed into the nearest building with glass shattering everywhere. Even my visor cracked!

"Izuku, is everyone alright?!" I don't know how much of it shattered. I can ignore my blood despite the snell, but if citizens were down there... I get no response. Did it break? I pull it off only for it to reveal that it's short-circuiting. The glass that shows me the programming and people is broken. That also means that the nanobots, Patchy, and CAT won't work without commands.

I don't have time to fix it. It has a program to repair itself, but that will take to long. I need to move!

"CAT, Patchy, original forms." I snarl the robots leave me. I crumble to the ground, but through sheer determination, I crawl to the broken window.

Oh, I see why Gang Orca wanted me out. He's trying something. I can't tell because of my vision blurry AF. If I were down there, I would be kicking his ass. I ain't an idiot. With the condition I am in, I would be a burden. It would be worthless trying to go down there in the fight.

My robots will have to do.

"CAT, Patchy, I need you to go down there and defend." With a squawk and a meow, the two go down to fight. Taking a deep breath, I try to stand up only to fall. God damn it, what is wrong with me?

Oh, wait. I recognize those black spots. I got those all the time when I was a drunkard!

Something tells me this whole thing went too far, but oh fucking well.

I try to stay awake only to fail miserably. I mean, if this is how I'm supposed to sleep, I hate this. This is pain, and I'm not into BDSM believe it or not, you fuckers.

---

Oh flip, am I in hell?

The first thing I wake up to his someone petting my head. Wait, I'm leaning against someone? Hell naw! I start to struggle only to be pulled closer by the arm around my shoulder.

"Izuku, it's Shouta!" The man himself growls.

Oh...I still don't want to be leaning on him.

"Let me up, " I mumble as I try to pry myself from him. Failure seems to be in my system today. The petting is slowing me down more, but, for once, I don't mind. I guess that's from mental exhaustion or some shit.

"After that stunt? You need any rest you can get." Everything slams back to me like a bullet train.

"What happened after I knocked out?"

"It finished a minute later. After that, everyone got the results. Everyone passed except Bakugo and Todoroki." I slam my head into his shoulder, earning a grunt from him, but he doesn't complain.

"The two most powerful players didn't even fucking pass? Wait, does that mean I passed?"

"Yeah. You got an 85. The only problems you had were cursing and being too blunt to people at times. With that out of the way, how you doing? Someone had to use a healing quirk on you for your legs and a concussion; you were knocked out for an hour. They estimated you to be out for four." My disrespectful ass got an 85? I'm shocked.

"Slight pain, but definitely better than before. Where's the class?"

"I put Iida in charge and sent them home. I wasn't going to leave you by yourself. You would have freaked out." No shit, sherlock. Strange. We aren't in a nurse's room. We are on a bench in the middle of the hallway. Somehow, that doesn't comfort me.

However, I will say that I appreciate him staying. I won't ever admit to it aloud.

"Why are we still here?"

"Detective test, unless you want to hold off? I can't blame you. You don't look great, kid." I remove his arm from my shoulder, stand up, and take some tentative steps. I look down to see all sorts of annoying bandages covering my body. Badass scars, but I have to prevent infections — another thing on my list.

"I need to do this. I'm tired of Nezu's pussy cases. But first, I'm hungry. How much time till I have to take it?" Much to my disappointment, a fruit pouch gets thrown at me.

"Ten minutes." I glare at the pouch.

"This is why I'm the fucking cook."

Shouta stands up, ignoring my statement, " Might as well start walking there."

On my way there, I suck that pouch clean. I mean, food is food. However, you can't live on this shit. Shouta has to give me three more for me to be partially satisfied, but he has to get me food on the way home.

Part of the agreement.

We arrive at a room that immediately catches my eye because there are monitors everywhere. A lady spins around when she hears the door open and looks at us.

"Oh hi! You must be the one taking the detective test! I'm the judge of the exam as well as the explainer because this is rarely done. If you could wait here, sir, I need to take Midoriya inside." I feel a hand ruffle my hair, and I glare at Shouta.

"Good luck, kid," He states.

"Yeah yeah, better luck than you and Hizashi going on a date," I growl as I leave the tech room to enter an all-white room, "Ma'am, am I finally going insane?"

She chuckles, " No! This room transforms into your environment. Here's how this works: You will be thrown into a randomized case that you must solve with 4 hours in real-time. However, every 10 minutes, in reality, gives you a day in the alternate world. Pay attention to this because clues can come up at any time and any place. You must be able to prove that you are right through clear notes. Also, You must follow all the ethics of being a detective. Finally, you're allowed to use quirks and abilities you have. In your case, since you can hack and build, you're allowed to do that in the system. Understood?" I nod without hesitation because this is going to be fun, " Alright, here's your pen and paper, and good luck!" She hands me a clipboard with paper and a pen, then steps out of the room.

In a snap, the room goes dark before brightening up at the murder scene. A guy with a mutative ear quirk is on the ground with what is presumably a stab wound in the chest. Blood is on the walls and ground, meaning he was probably thrown around. I have to take a deep breath to calm down. We are in a dark alleyway with no cameras. There are also buttons in my line of vision to allow me to interact with things.

This is going to be interesting. I start scribbling my notes while forcing my hand to write decently.

---

That was fun. Not the situation, but the game. It took me an hour to complete; 6 days in the game, but that is the fastest time ever to finish it.

The whole situation ended up being a yakuza that was working on distributing trigger. This drug makes a person's quirk temporarily more powerful. This involved five other groups for fuck sakes! The reason for the murder was because someone substituted the drug with something that killed someone. Basically, it was a revenge kill. I would explain the whole thing, but it took 20 pages for me to do.

My notes got approved, and I passed! In my hand, I hold my mostly useless provisional license with 'Virus' filling the bottom! The only reason I need it is that, unlike my peers, it has a shield with a little hat on it in the bottom right-hand corner. This says: 'Hey, stop fucking underestimating me, you fucking bitches. I can come in and help.' The first case I'm forcing myself back in is the League of Villains because they keep fucking around with us, and I'm not happy about that.

"Izuku?" Shouta's voice cuts my thoughts. Why is he serious?

Why so serious?

. . .

Okay, you can mute me for that.

"Yeah?"

"Don't over-do it, alright? You're still a kid."

"Of all people you have to remind that they are a kid, you remind me? Damn, where did your standards go?! Let alone, saying that I can do shit again?!"

"That's not what I mean, and you know it, Izuku. With everything that has happened, I'm worried that you will go overboard like always."

"If you're worried that I will leave you alone, I won't. I have standards to keep low. Otherwise, this story will go to shit."

"What?"

"Oh shit, we might need flex seal for that. Ignore what I said."

"How am I suppose to ignore that?"

"You ignore the whole class by sleeping away your problems. Obviously, you have the skill. Now stop being a smartass and use it, dumbass. Oh, and food. Lots of food. And don't try pulling out more pouches because those do shit for me."

"Grumpy."

"Izuku uses Uno reverse card. It's super effective!"
