A/N: Oh??? My??? God???? WE FINALLY REACHED CHAPTER 100!!!!

█▒▒▒▒▒█ ◈ █▒▒▒▒▒█

Nighteye shuts the machine Bubble Girl was trapped to off, giving Izuku a death glare, "You little... What's with that face? What are you trying to do?"

"Oh, well, um...!" Izuku takes a few steps back, bumping into Y/n who didn't even react, her cautiously watching as Nighteye steps towards Izuku.

"You committed this outrage knowing that I was All Might's former sidekick?!" Nighteye grabs Izuku around the eye, pulling his eyelids open, "All Might's wrinkles are not like that. In his normal face, the wrinkles around his eyes are 0.6cm long. From Silver Age on, they were about 0.8cm long. These days, even unlicensed merchandise specifies which age it's from. Do you not even know that?"

Y/n grabs Nighteye's wrist harshly, pushing it away as Nighteye was forced to let go of Izuku's eye.

"You didn't need to grab him like that." Y/n frowns at the man, feeling very less willing to have a work study with him.

"This is very unpleasant, please leave." Nighteye starts to walk away, but was stopped when Izuku started to speak again.

"The vinegar riverbank incident... Are you not aware of that?" Izuku asks as Nighteye looks back at him, "A middle schooler whose Quirk could change water quality was drowning in a river and All Might saved him. The drowning middle schooler change the river into vinegar in his panic. And they got into All Might's eyes when he jumped in to save him. This is the face he showed at the interview right after that... His smile with narrowed eyes... I chose that face here!"

"Of course I know about that." Nighteye responds, "It happened before I teamed up with him. They also mentioned it on the Yomiuri TV program, A Look Back."

"Yes, that one!" Izuku waves his hands up and down excitedly infront of him, "There wasn't any villains involved, and it's boring compared to his other work, so it's not really talked about on the fan sites, but I like it! I especially liked the witty response he gave after being thanked by the boy!"

"...my skin feels ten years younger." Nighteye recites as Izuku looks back up, still waving his hands up and down in excitement.

"That's it! I loved the 'my skin' part!" Izuku fanboys.

"Were you testing me?" Nighteye's tone was accusatory.

"Oh, no! It's just that because All Might is a teacher at our school, it's hard to speak much about him, so I got too excited and couldn't help myself..." Izuku looks down nervously.

"The crux of that incident was the family life of that middle schooler."

"That's right! Whether you know that or not makes a big difference in the weight of the words!"

Y/n sighs, zoning out as she ignores the two talk about All Might, praying it'll be over soon.

"So, you want to do a work study here in order to become stronger?" Nighteye asks the two, Y/n fighting back a snarky remark as she simply nods.

"Yes, sir! Please allow it!" Izuku implores.

"You two have contracts from the school—"

"Of course, I brought it with me!" Izuku digs through his bag, digging through it.

Y/n nods, opening up inventory as she taps on the paper, it appearing in her hand as she sets it down on Nighteye's desk.

"You will not interrupt me when I am speaking." Nighteye warns sternly.

"No sir!" Izuku takes the paper out of his bag, putting it on Nighteye's desk.

"Once my stamp is on those papers, the work study contracts will become official." Nighteye reiterates.

"Yes, sir!" Izuku bows deeply.

"A hero work study is not like th weeklong internships of normal workplaces that you can participate in casually. You must work here for at least a month, and of course you will be paid. As a first year who still has a lot of classes, you will also rack up a lot of absences," Night explains as Y/N can't help but roll her eyes on that last one.

She already has a fair amount of absences, like last week when she skipped Present Mic's class to burn down some random apartment with Himiko and Touya.

To be fair, Touya burned it, Himiko killed the residents and took their blood, while Y/n just stole anything she found cool. One person actually had a bunch of rare Pokémon cards, so it was worth it to Y/n.

"—and you will not be able to continue on this path on the same level as your classmates." Nighteye's voice draws Y/n's attention back.

"I understand that!" Izuku exclaims, "But, If I match my pace with everyone else, then I can't be the best!"

Night raises the stamp, moving his hand down only for it to land right in between the two papers.

"Um, you missed..." Izuku says as Y/n has to refrain from sighing.

"Because I don't feel like stamping it." Nighteye proceeds to stamp the desk over and over, "I understand the merits of working here for you. But what merit is there in employing you? With two sidekicks and one work study student, this agency runs smoothly, so to add two more... What benefit is there in that? How can you contribute to society? How can you be useful to others? In order to be acknowledged, you must make those things clear."

"All Might showed it with his pier and humor. He gave hope to those who lived in fear of crime. That's why people acknowledge him." Nighteye elaborates.

"How I can contribute to society...?" Izuku mumbles to himself.

"In order to show how you can benefit my company, you should show it with your actions, not your words." Nighteye holds up a seal.

"One of you has to take this seal from me in three minutes or less. If you want to work as a hero under me, then stamp the seal yourself." Nighteye seems to attempting to be threatening but Y/n simply blinks.

Casting a look at Mirio, Y/n looks at him confused, as though trying to ask if he told the man about her Quirk. Mirio catches her gaze, shaking his head with a small smile.

Y/N's lips twitch up at the information.

"I'm saying that even though you don't possess a single funny bone, I'm giving you a chance. Well don't you think I'm a nice guy?" Nighteye looks towards Bubble Girl and Mirio.

"Mirio and Bubble Girl, you two go outside." Nighteye demands.

"Oh, alright." Bubble Girl responds.

"That's not very energetic." Nighteye says pointedly.

"Yes, sir!"

Once the two left, Nighteye looks back at the two, only to be left confused by their expressions. Midoriya seems relieved, while L/n was almost smug.

Nighteye's eyes narrow in question of the odd reactions.

"I will not attack you at all, and you may attack however you wish. It doesn't matter what happens to this room. Come and get it."
