Mini-Arc. New Place

The arriving heroes very quickly found and neutralized the rest of the villains, but before that, one of the heroes created a wall of cement that would close the All Might from the eyes of the students.
While they were doing this, Nezu came up to Victor before anyone else, raised his head and greeted:
« Thank you for saving our students.
I would love to hear your name, if it's possible. »
« I am Kizaru, better known as the "Ray of Justice" and I am currently ranked third in the national ranking of heroes. » - Victor said in a loud enough voice, thanks to this, the students also heard it.
« But how ... » - Nezu wanted to ask a question, but Victor interrupted him
« Nezu, I will answer all your questions, but first, let the students leave the center, they clearly need rest. »
« Right. » He turned to one of his teachers and asked him to accompany the children back to school.
The students knew perfectly well who was in the top of the heroes rating, and of course, after the announcement of this "huge" man, they collectively had a question about this hero. Most of the confusion were Tsuyu Asui and Izuku Midoriya, they wondered, "How did he get their names? ".
Moreover, he called their names with such tenderness and with such kindness in his voice that only a very close person can say this. They had questions and would like to hear the answers
After the students were put on the bus and sent to school, some of the staff remained in the center, which consisted of: Present Mic, Midnight, Nezu, Power Loader, etc. Nezu remained calm and vigilant, it was a good chance to ask a couple of questions with his staff. Also with them was Toshinori, who refused to leave and rested here.
"Okay, Kizaru-san , first of all, I can take a look at your license. » Nezu asked.
« Of course.» - Victor answered with his usually "indifferent" face, handing over the license to the headmaster.
What was the plus for the top ranking? There are many of them, and they include licenses, or rather special cards that the government created for them, where everything is explained, it included: the year of birth, the name of the hero and the number in the top.
Nezu's eyes widened, it was impossible, right? The current top three is "Hawks", and he heard about Kizaru for the first time, and such a person as this hero, Nezu would not have lost sight of.
Chimera stretched out his hand to the hero returning his license, and he asked with confusion on his face:
« Kizaru-san, if you have any guesses, can you explain everything? Because at the moment, the top 3 is occupied by a young hero named "Hawks", but looking at your map and with the current top, there is no match. I will tell you some strange parallels, you have not only just such a card - which is issued only to the heroes above, but you also have the seal of the government. »
« I have a guess, but before that I wanted to ask if you know someone named Victor Yamaguchi.»
« No. » - After thinking a little, Nezu answered in the negative
This means that the change of reality and the change is big. Temporary reality. That is, reality with minimal changes, but a postponement in time for a long time.Comparing some of the factors that he noticed, Victor immediately knew where exactly his location.
Because of the steam that the All Might exuded in his battle, and Izuku's actions put an end to Yamaguchi's hypotheses. He is in the original My Hero Academy universe. Since he appeared in his universe, it created a different outflow of the original, which means it created an alternate universe.
«So the theory of the multiverse is true.»
« Multiverse theory? How is she involved here? »
« I am from 20XX, from an alternate universe.» - briefly answered Kizaru.
These words put the school staff in a stupor. An alternate universe? This cannot be.
« The first proof is my map, the second is me myself, because apparently I do not exist in this universe, and the most important thing is my wife. »
« Your wife? »
« Yes, take a look, then you will understand. » - said Victor, pulling out his phone showing a photo in which he and his wife. He showed the photo so that the rest of the teachers could not
see what's on the content.
Nezu looked at the photo, then looked at Victor and again at the photo. He grinned slyly and turned his head towards Midnight, after which Nezu returned to his original position.
« I Understand.» - said the hybrid with a smile.
« Then why don't we continue our conversation in my office, where the All Might will be able to ask you his questions? » The director asked, pointing with his hand in the direction of the exit.
« I would only be glad. »
Victor, the director and his staff left the center, passing through the cops and gathered people.The operators immediately looked in his direction, then returned to their work. On the way back, Victor noticed that the Nemuri of this universe was looks at him, which Kizaru ignored.
***
𝙐𝘼, 𝘿𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧'𝙨 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚.
There were three people in the office: Kizaru, All Might and Nezu. The All Might was in his weakened form, since today he would not be able to return to his previous state.
This man had already seen him like this, and he had no choice but to tell or just keep silent. The hero knew his name, and he pronounced this name then still in the center, with such care that he had not heard since Nana's death.
This brought up a bunch of memories, both pleasant and vice versa, he urgently needed answers.
Victor saw Toshinori's face, he knew this facial expression, and in order not to torment him anymore, he began a conversation:
« I know your condition well, Toshinori, so to make your heart go a little bit sad, I'll tell you everything.»
« My name is Victor Yamaguchi and I am your best friend, Toshinori Yagi. From the beginning UA we got to know each other, I became your first friend, and then this connection grew into something more , I can say we became a brothers. In my own universe, back in the days of the academy, we were better known as: "The Phenomenal Three."
Me, you and Enji Todoroki. We were the best friends and the close-knit team that we are to this day.
A month ago I had a conversation with you about the AFO , I asked you to be calm when you'll see him someday . But unfortunately, in this universe there was no one who would help and support you and, as I see, the consequences of the same level that I predicted.»
- sighing, Victor continued.
« Your strength is waning, part of your stomach is gone and you are constantly spitting up blood, right? »
Toshinori just nodded slowly, not asking questions about the AFO .
«Perhaps you have felt more pain in your life than Toshinori from my universe, I wish you had any support.»
Toshinori listened to everything and did not interrupt Victor. It is true that he experienced a lot of pain, went through a lot. It is true that there was no one in his life whom he could call his best friend. It is true that he lost his composure in the battle and paid the price.
But he was pleased with one thing, it is that the other he will not experience what he experienced. Because of his heroic nature, because of his character, because of his self-sacrifice, he smiled. He smiled sincerely and raised his gaze to Victor.
« Maybe Me from your universe would say the same thing» . His smile only grew wider and he continued. « Thank you for being close and being a friend to the other me. »
« Ha ha ha, this is the Toshinori I know! » - Victor's own smile appeared on his face, he got up from his seat, walked up to Toshinori, put his hand on his shoulder and patted him in a friendly way.
The director sat quietly in his place and listened attentively. This connection is simply amazing. Looking at Victor, he could not read the emotions on his face, because it seemed that his face showed only ... Almost nothing. But listening to all this, Nezu realized that this man is not at all who he shows himself to be.
He had shown tremendous kindness to his friends and that was a good trait, he decided. Kizaru asked for forgiveness for everything that the All Might had gone through, he essentially asked for forgiveness that he was not in this universe in order to help him in the most difficult situations in his life. Nezu began to respect this man.A kind smile appeared on his face and he relaxed his guard.
After Victor patted Toshinori on the shoulder, thereby raising his spirits, Kizaru returned to his seat and turned towards the director.
« I met you, Nezu, from the first day of work. »
« Hooo ~? »- the director raised an eyebrow.
« Enji and I were stopping by to say goodbye to the past director when you showed up. We also met there. After that, I helped you more than once, and we often played chess ... I never managed to beat you. » - at the last sentence Nezu laughed, plus respect for this man. He would not invite a person he does not know.
« Victor-kun, can I call you that? - Received a nod in response, Nezu continued. » - You mentioned the name "Enji" several times, I wonder if it is Enji Todoroki?
« Of course, the guy still loves to make a fiery beard with his suit, but why? I was also wondering how he is doing, Toshinori, I hope he helped you somehow? » - The All Might became a little sad.
« I remember back in school days, I tried to make friends with him, but I didn't succeed. »
« Victor-kun, please read it.» - handed Nez the tablet into Victor's hands.
« Hmm, what is it? »
These were also articles about the hero Endeavor". They also talked about excessive cruelty towards some villains, about direct misanthropy towards the All Might. About his rudeness and much more. These articles have long been forgotten by the community as the fan base kept the hatred against the Endavor from growing.
Victor knew immediately that this was a truly bad version of his Enji. Todoroki from his universe would never have been named like in these articles. At home, in any articles they only did what they praised Enji , about how cool he is, how strong, fair. But of course, the villains were never without injuries, but everyone always justified Enji
. But this Todoroki, the exact opposite, judging by the news about him
He was glad that at one time, he drove respect and morality into a friend's head, otherwise, without him, his Enji would have become like this one.
«It's rather unfortunate, they don't say that about the Endeavor of my universe. » - Victor said, returning the tablet to the director. « Now read about Angie from my universe.»
At the same time, Victor typed a page with one article about the Endeavor and gave his phone to Nezu, Toshinori got up from his seat and went to the director's desk in order to also contemplate this scribble.
He both read it and their eyes widened in surprise and Toshinori began first:
« I wish the Endeavor from here was the same as yours. »
« I must agree.» - Nezu nodded, passing the phone back.
Victor wanted to put the phone in his pocket, but Toshinori asked an interesting question:
« Victor-kun, if you don't mind, I'll call you that.» - silence is a sign of agreement, so he asked -« If it's not a secret, what happened to your wife? »
« Heh. » - came the voice of Nezu who grinned.
« You see, Toshinori, the trick is ... Look better yourself. » - Victor turned on his phone again and showed a photo from his wedding.
Toshinori first looked at the photo, began to look closely. He traced his eyes through the photo, then to Victor, because again in the photo and back. "Isn't that…" he said quietly, repeating the same steps earlier.
« Nemuri ?! » - after silence, and realizing who it was, Toshinori laughed, it was not a mockery, but out of joy towards his girlfriend
« Nemuri Yamaguchi will be more correctly. » - Victor also grinned.
« Damn it, I definitely didn't expect this, ha-ha-ha. »
«I also did not think about this, but there, she found the one whom she always wanted to find ».- put in Nezu, but then asked an important question. - «Victor-kun, do you know how to return back to your dimension? »
At this Victor frowned, go back, of course he does not know how he should know it. Because of such a good friendly conversation, Victor completely forgot about this problem. Then a scientist is needed. Need a smart head, but he himself will not understand. Maybe a new miracle will help here again. Maybe the Allfather himself will contact. He hoped so.
« I have no idea, can I build a portal? » - Victor said, scratching the back of his head, on his face it seemed that he did not care where he was.
« This has never happened, of course such a case as yours. So we can try. But Victor-kun, where are you going to stay the night, I would not like to close you at school for the night, it is graceless . »
« I don't mind if he'll come to my house »Toshinori suggested.
« I have a lot of space, and I will accept my "Friend" From another universe »
«Heh, even here you're saving my ass, Toshinori. »
« It's very good that one problem has been resolved, and it's time for another. » - said Nezu. - « What are you going to do while you are here? And I already have a proposal. »
« I thought about it myself and I don't want to sit my ass all day at home, so I'm ready to listen to your proposal. »
« You, as I understand it, have experience, and experience is not small, would you like to work as a teacher here? » Nezu asked.
« Hmm ... Due to the fact that I have nothing else to do, I am more than happy to accept this offer
- Victor replied, while Nezu's eyes "sparkled".
« I am very glad to hear that, which means that I will introduce you to the staff tomorrow, since today the working day is over and we all need rest. Getting to know the staff will also be easier, we decided to give the students a day off. »
« We get it. Director, we'll go. Good Night»
- said Toshinori, getting up from his seat and heading for the exit.
« Good night, Nezu. » - Victor said, he also went to the exit and bent down to leave the doorway.
« Toshinori, I have to tell you a bunch of stories »- was heard in the school corridor last
