"Sato Kyoya-kun. I am Principal Nezu."
"Good morning Principal Sir!"
"Good morning! Please take a seat."
Normally, when someone gets called to the Principal Office, it's nerve racking.
But... somehow, I don't feel scared of him.
Afterall, he is a rodent, and looks like a chill guy.
He even made me tea.
"So, Kyoya-kun, All-Might informed me that you figured out that Midoriya-kun has the same Quirk as him?"
"Well... that much strength from just a finger was odd. And All-Might becoming a teacher this year was too much of a coincidence. So I thought that Midoriya might be related to All-Might, and their reaction basically confirmed it."
"Hmm. And it seems like some Villains also found it odd that All-Might has become a teacher. Or, they might have been looking to take students as hostages.
The Warp Mist Quirk was unknown till now. For such a person to appear now of all times is definitely a bad sign."
I nodded.
But why are you talking about useless things with me? Isn't he going to punish me?
"Kyoya-kun."
"Yes?"
"Aoyama Yuga actually turned out to be a spy."
"Huh!?"
Really!?
So I hit my suspicion on the mark!?
Yes!
"But, why are you happy?"
Shit!
"You know... I was just judging everyone by their reactions... And it's my first time doing investigation..."
"Kyoya-kun. This is not a detective game."
"Yes sir..."
"Edgeshot was sent to keep an eye on Aoyama and his parents, and he found definitive proof of his parents getting information out of him, in fear that they will be killed if they don't do it. So, there is a mastermind behind all this."
Saying that, he put down his tea cup.
"And that mastermind, it's you, right?"
"What!? No way! That's a false accusation!"
What the hell is he talking about!?
Wait a minute! In a situation like this, I should keep my mouth shut and let a lawyer do the talking!
I should have the right to remain silent!
"I plead the Fifth!"
"Japan does not follow USA's constitution. Moreover, the 5th Amendment of US constitution was scrapped long ago."
"I would like to bring my mother here!"
"There is no need."
"But—!"
"Because you are in the clear."
"Huh!?"
What!?
"You caught the spy with your intuition and observation. So, I am also going to trust my intuition and by judging your reaction, you are not involved with the Villains."
...So he said that to gauge my reaction?
...He is not a chill guy.
And indeed, the Principal Office is a really scary place.
"Kyoya-kun, you have the makings of a great Hero. Your intuition is even greater than most teachers here.
And your Quirk is powerful too. They are not just illusion eyes, are they?
You controlled the 'beggar' looking villain, tracked the Quirk Mist Villain, and managed to dodge All-Might's attack, no matter how much he was holding back to not destroy the whole building."
...This guy is scary...
So, I chose to stay silent.
"Well, since the mastermind managed to slip in a student as a spy, it wouldn't be too far off from him to get access to students' Quirks through the national registry.
Since you might have earned his anger, I will not update your Quirk registry."
Phew!
Wait... Right! I foiled the most-likely main-villain's plan! This is bad... He will surely be after me now...
"Umm, since you might be providing Aoyama's parents protection, can you provide protection to my parents as well?"
I have a bad feeling for this...
"You might not know it, but all parents of UA are provided protection secretly."
"Then shouldn't Aoyama have been caught well before?"
"We don't spy inside their houses. We provide protection, not spying."
Well, it's better than nothing, I guess.
"Now, about your punishment for using your Quirk in public."
...I don't think it will be anything severe.
"Your punishment is training the weak students in your class after the school ends."
Well, that's a great punishment!
"Your advice to Midoriya-kun turned out to be great. With those eye of yours, you probably can see something about Quirks that we can't normally see, right?"
I stayed silent. He is really perceptive.
"Then make good use of it. You can go now."
"Thank you Principal Sir!"
I don't want to stay in his office any longer. So, I quickly left.
Still, this 'Punishment' isn't really a Punishment.
