Miku looked at her phone to look at the time. And then her game progress and then to look at her chat mesages
Miku: Teacher. Can I talk to you about something in person. When you have time?
Arata: Of course!
Miku: o-ok.... Thank you. I'll see you then. Um...let me know when you're free..I need to tell you something. Its not really for the chat
Arata: Alright--I'm usually free after classes.
Well, it was after classes. And he was free now. She took a deep breath and decided to approach him. She tried her best to look civil before coming here and approaching him, because she was a mess physically and mentally. Between the hours of crying to just the mental anguish she was not ready to handle. The anger, the sadness, the fear. She just didnt know how to handle it. How could one handle the fact that some shifty woman approached her and suddenly announced herself as her mother? Miku was a 100% sure that her mother was dead. Ok, well not a 100%....it went to a 50% when she remembered where she heard those news. But, if that was her mother, why did she come to her just now? What was her goal? She just felt something terribly off back then, she didnt want to see that woman ever again. But why did she still hold her note though?
She finally got to her teacher
"C-can we talk now?" she asked

Arata had been sitting at his desk after class, taking out the class registry to flip open the book, seeing the class photos of all of his students, then flipped the pages from person to person. He just couldn't believe it. He had robots in his class, demons, sentai heroes. This world he lived in, it really was just like an amazing comic book come to life.
He was sitting around waiting for someone in particular, someone he nicknamed in his mind Green Thumb, for her quirk and upbeat attitude that he could just imagine her always giving a thumbs up, one Miku Hanabira. He flipped the pages over, landing on the one that was her profile.
On the page were a few sketches of the girl, and ideas of what he could see her doing. He was using his vast knowledge of anime and manga to devise ideas for the girl, at least recommendations so that he could urge her to become strong in her own right.
That was when she came up to him and he shut the roster to look at the girl with a smile, his eyes shut and head tilted to the side as he gave that sincere and honest smile, "Sure! What's up Miku-chan?

As soon as he asked her what was up, Miku suddenly blanked out. It was like a cat got her tongue but worse. She thought for a while how to put it in words.
"I...umm..." she had trouble speaking about it at first, but eventually she said it "I dont feel safe. Someone tracked me down and wrote this" she then showed him a note she got precisely 20 days ago. The note said 'Dear Miku, meet me in the park at noon, love your mother'
Miku then explained "One day this super scary and suspicious woman lured me out. And she claimed to be my mother, but I know my mother is dead. I know this woman could have just disguised herself to look like my mother or shapeshifted. But..." she pasued for a moment, she just couldnt really form cohesive thoughts or words. This month just really messed her up "I-I dont know. I dont like that some stranger just tracked me down here. I just dont know what to do. I dont know anything anymore. It scares me. What if she tries something?"
Miku really didnt know what to say. She felt like she could have said more, but didnt. She felt like she forgot something important. It was just like the incident with her parents when she forgot who they were and what they looked like. But now she forgot something important, something the shifty woman said. It was at the tip of her tongue and it was driving her crazy. She tried to keep her composure from just breaking down once again

Arata held out a hand for the note, hoping that Miku would hand it over. It would allow him to inspect it for a moment before handing it back over to the girl. He had a couple of questions, but it was time to listen to his student. She was distraught and it was his duty to make sure she was level headed.
"First thing's first: who told you your mother was dead? Did you see it happen? Is this her hand writing?" Arata was no stranger to stuff like this happening in crime novels, or mystery books. Someone is believed to be dead but they aren't, but this wasn't a fictional book, this was a serious situation that involved stalking.
Rubbing the back of his neck, he looked at the note, then at Miku with a gentle smile. He knew exactly what to say, "Well as long as you're here on campus you should be fine right? You have me and other heroes around to protect you."
"As for whoever this woman is, well we will just approach that if she tries to contact you again. I'll let the other teachers know about it and if anything else comes up, you can come to me. And here's a bonus for you. If you ever need me to come to you, if you feel in danger or anything, you can call me directly."
Taking out a piece of paper, he wrote down his personal cell number on it to hand to the girl, something as a token to make her feel safeguarded.

She gladly gave him the note. But then the questions came
"The person who told me that they were dead was my guardian or adoptive father. I didnt really see it happen, I just arrived late and saw the Villain over them..I-I dont know how or why..but he let me live. And yes, that's the womans handwritting" she answered all of his questions
She felt pretty uncomftarble and scared talking about this. But talking to a friend like Nemuri, well... even though she's an adult,all she can do is call the police. But her teacher, he's an actual hero and an actual authority figure. Which in a way made Miku more nervous
But the next thing Arata did, calmed her greatly. He made her feel safe again on the campus and she got his number! Which of couse she would only use in dire and extreme emergencies. She took the paper with the phone number
"Thank you,sir"
Miku didnt know really how to feel, before she was angry and then that anger turned to sadness, that sadness turned to fear and now.. she felt calm. But this was an eerie and uneasy calm. Like a calm before the storm. She just hoped that her only 'family' would be safe. Even though he did also mess her up.
"I wonder if my love for him is unhealthy or is there actual good...or am I making it up" she wondered to herself

It was the woman's hand writing that had been on the note, the woman that gave her the note. But that wasn't really what he was asking, but it was best to not press on it when she was stressed out. Maybe it would be best to change the subject?
But to what? He was still new to the whole teacher thing, and he was new to the whole socialization with people younger than him thing. Two whole things to be new to. That's like, twice the normal effort it takes to get accustomed to something! The horror! He had to think of something. But what? Anything you fool!
"Now that we have that all settled for now, how about you tell me a little more about you Miku? I only know what's on this report and I want to get to know my students better. You're so far the best in the class when it comes to listening to instructions and following the rules. So what makes that adorable head tick?"
He said this while touching Miku on the forehead with his index finger, hoping to snap her out of whatever funk she was in by engaging in some small talk that could potentially build up in to something greater of a topic.

She blushed a bit when he called her adorible, even though she tried her best not to. Sure she has a crush on her teacher. But she knew this wasnt really appropriate so she always tried her best to surpress those feelings. But his kindnes and just his kind words sometimes make her slip up
"Oh..umm..well....w-what does it say on the report again?" she fumbled out a question
Her mind kind of went blank. What was on the report? Was she supposed to know? What did he know? She assumed he just knew her name and her Quirk, but she had no idea if he knew something more.
She didnt even know what to say. She did a mental recap of what was her life like. First she was very little. Her parents were dead. The man she saw with her parents was her adoptive father, who in actuality was a killer who kidnapped her and raised her shockingly well. And in a way, everything revolved around him. He raised her, sheltered her from the world and made her extremely well mannered and obedient. Not to mention that they developed similar interests...like in music. How could she say something like that? Sure her...'adoptive dad' turned over a new leaf and became a Vigilante, but he was still an ex Villain. People wont ignore that....
Come to think about it. Did the UA have things such as parent-teacher conference?! What would he and the teacher meet? Would they be oblivious that one is a Hero and other is a Villain/Vigilante? Or would they fight? That also got Miku worried

What was on the report? He lifted it up and offered it to the girl, it was about her, so she was free to read it. In it were a series of school photos of her, the kind you would see on an Identification Card. Along with that were a series of papers and a smaller folder that held medical information about any allergies or necessities that had to be acquiesced to. But most importantly was the information about her immediate family. there wasn't anything in there about an ex-villain, just the man who raised her.
If she shuffled through enough of the papers, she would come across sketch work of herself, drawn during one of the down times during class. He drew all of his students, along with concepts of potential hero costumes.
While she looked through the report, he pulled out his phone and accessed a messenger app to send something to the faculty of the school as a whole, something that students couldn't see, but after that he would look up and smile at the girl.
"Now then, I sent out a message so that security will be vamped up. I played it up that the number of people that might not appreciate a large collection of super powered individuals gathering in to one place might be detrimental to our academic pursuits."
"And now that that is all handled, and you can be protected, let's talk about something lighter shall we? What made you want to become a hero, what do you hope to do Miku? Can I get you a coffee or something? The cafeteria doesn't have the best, but it's better than store bought coffee. How about it?"

She looked through her report and saw some basic stuff like some photos of her you'd see on an ID, her immediate family, medical info,pretty usual stuff. Miku didnt know why, but she always considered those reports to be more mysterious, like it made the teachers all knowing at such. Maybe her imagination just ran wild when it came to teacher only stuff. She then saw some sketches of herself and thught they were so cool. Those sketches totally deserved a 'squee' as soon as she got to her dorm room. But now, she listened to what Arata had to say
First he made a few calls....well....a few texts. He handled so well, so amazing! The only regret Miku had was that she didnt go to her teacher first. She wanted to hug him, but she also didnt want to overstep her boundries, after all she was student and he was teacher. They had to remain professional and such, much to her dismay.
But now Arata moved on a lighter subject. He asked Miku why did she decide to be a Hero, as well as asking her if she wanted coffee or something.
"N-no, thank you. I dont want to bother you any more" Miku politely refused
"Coffee, I never had coffee that was sooo adult. I wonder what it tastes like. Maybe some other time" she thought. But then she moved back to the first question "Why do I want to be a Hero? Well...I sort of answered that in the chat when you asked what was everyone hoping to do with the schooling here. But...yea...there is a longer story. You see,my parents-" she noticed she still had the report in her hands,so she politely returned it to him before continuing to talk "Yea...well...you know. They are deceased. And besides me, the first one to come to the crime scene was a Vigilante. After doing some Hero or...erm..Vigilante work, he decided to adopt me, saying that he didnt want me to 'fall victim to the cruel system and get thrown in an orphanage'. And well..he raised me. And I wanted to be just like him...saving people. But, he knew I wasnt a fighter type of person like him, so he suggested UA,so I could be a better then him and be an actual legal Hero. And...well, later after learning about various Heroes and such...I decided to become a Rescue Hero that deals saving people from natural disasters,rather then a fighter who deals with thugs in dark alleys and such" she explained, although she sugarcoated a few places in her story. Like how her caretaker is an ex Villain and how she made it seem like he did things more legally than he actually did when it came to adopting her. As much as she would like to avoid talking about him, too many things revolve around him because he always always kept her close to him and sheltered her from the world. This here now, not just the UA, but everything as soon as school started was a first time experience for her. She never got to leave the house alone, she never did anything by herself, she never had actual friends her age. He was always close, like a possessive guard dog. Even a few days ago, she saw him at the festival when she was out with her new friends, although he claimed he was gonna go on a date, she somehow highly doubted it.
After her story, Miku was also nervous what would happen next. This was the first time she told anyone the full story, sure it was sugarcoated, but 90% of it was the truth. She didnt know much about Heroes or Vigilantes and if they got along,so she didnt know if she messed up with her story and said something bad

Arata listened to her story. Sitting back while holding on to his chin as he folded his other arm underneath the chin holding one, looking at Miku while she regaled him with the story of her parents and how she came to be here. She wanted to become a Rescue Hero, whether it was for her caretaker's sake, or for the sake of getting to the scene before the loss of another, like she lost her parents, Arata took in the information she gave him.
If what she said had any merit, he had a perfect idea for her in his upcoming exercises. "Well do youw ant to know why I became a hero?" He asked her before leaning forward, folding his hands and resting his elbows on his knees, looking at the girl as if waiting for a response, if he got a yes, he would tell her exactly why. Maybe it would help her get her mind off the person that was staking her.
"I never wanted to be a hero myself. It sort of got put on me. See: I grew up with a dad that wanted me to not use my powers at all, or use them only so that the family could be put in a good standing, and i could be arranged to be married off to some well-to-do family. So what did I do? I ran. I ran away from home and started up living a life of commissioned artwork and scaping by while earning favors of the land lords I lived under."
"Eventually, I got in to vigilante work myself. AN occasional bounty or two was a nice score, and it also gave me plenty of ideas for artwork and stories. But, I eventually got caught. i was given the ultimatum: study to become a teacher and teach new heroes, or go to prison. Because as we all know, vigilantes, when caught, go to prison. I opted to come here, and teach all of you. And I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Everyone here is like a precious book waiting to be opened and their stories waiting to be read. That includes you Miku. So when I tell you that you can come to me for anything, I mean it. I'm here to keep you safe and help you become a better person than you already are. That's my job. Now how about that coffee? I could go for some cold brew myself." He brought it back to coffee again, thinking a nice hot or cold beverage would help calm the plant producer.

When he asked her if she wanted to know why he became a Hero, she just politely nodded. She was eager to see her teachers story. And she when he did talk, she eagerly listened. She really really wanted to hug him during this whole time, especially when he said that they were precious books waited to be opened and their stories being read. Especially when he said her name. But of course, she had to remain clam and diligent and not hug her teacher. That would be totally inappropriate
And then suddenly it seemed like Arata brought his story full circle cuz he asked if she wanted coffee, once again. Well...since he was persistent and insistant
"Well...alright...if you insist"
"Does this now officially make me an adult?" she childlishly wondered to herself. She had no idea what coffee tastes like and imagined only adults did that
While he went to get her coffee she thought about the stuff he said how he earned money though commissioned artwork. Well, she saw the sketches he did of her,so he was very talented. She considered asking him to teach her how to draw. But considering that her drawing skills match her childish mentality. Like, the skills of a 10 year old, she was too ashamed to ask Arata for any tutoring or lessons about art. Even though that was her favorite non plant hobby

Arata would look at Miku, raising an eyebrow to her response, "Come on, I'm not getting coffee and bringing it back. We're gonna sit down together and share some coffee in the cafeteria." He motioned for her to follow after him, walking on ahead and out in to the hallway. She would have to come with him if she wanted to continue to talk to him about what had happened, he wasn't gonna come back.
If she did follow, they would head straight for the cafeteria where he would move to get his cold brew coffee, turning to look at Miku, his eyes going up and down her body, as if he was looking for something. To some, it might look as if he were checking her out, but what came out of his mouth just left anyone wondering sighing in relief,
"You don't look like you've ever had coffee before. So you might like cold coffee better. It's smoother tasting, easier on the body, and doesn't leave you with your tongue burnt and unable to taste anything for three weeks and you have to miss out on some home made bread pudding because you tried to drink said hot coffee and ruined your chances at tasting it." That, was an oddly specific and telling story about what had happened to him.
He grimaced at the thought of ever burning his mouth with hot coffee ever again. Plus there were plenty of options. Coffee, cafe au lait, cappuccino, espresso, iced coffee, cold brew, condensed milk chilled coffee. You could have it black, with creamer,with sugar, with milk, some people even mixed weird things in to their coffee. The world was Miku's oyster, at least if that world was a world of coffee beans and all the different ways to try it!

"I-I knew that!" no she didnt
But then she heard the next thing he said. They're gonna have it together at the cafeteria?! There was no time to even mentally squee!! Arata was already on his way there and so she followed him
While she was following him, he turned around and looked up and down at her. Was he checking her out? Normally a student would probably raise their brow or something. But with Miku's.....'unique' upbringing, she kind of thought this was normal.
And then he spoke. And...he knew she never drank coffee?! Wow he was smart! And amazing! And...had an oddly specific warning or story?
"Did that happen to him?" she wondered
Yes Miku, that most likely happened to him
Bt now when it came to coffee. She had no idea what coffee she would try. She didnt even know cold coffee existed. If her teacher was to ask her what kind of coffee she'd like. Her mind would be a blank.... that or she'd just take what he's having
"Having coffee with my teacher! Wow! Ok Miku... I know you like him. But focus! You're student and he's teacher. You cant go doki doki on him! Thats a no no! Its all strictly business! Good? Good!" she gave herself a mental pep talk

Sitting down at the table nearest them, Arata sat down with a nice glass, a tall thin glass at that, frosted in coloration, with a dark black liquid inside of it. "Funny how saturating plants with water leads to strange drinks. Put leaves inside of it, you get tea. Put the right kind of beans in it, you get coffee. Put fruit or cucumbers in it--well, you get water but it's flavored. It's nice to know how useful water can be." He said while taking a sip of his coffee, hoping Miku had sat down with him.
Whatever she chose, it was a nice choice, he just hoped she wouldn't try that hot coffee. "Did you want to talk about something else? Or just sit here and have coffee with your teacher in public?" He asked in a slightly teasing tone, but that smile and look on his face was gentle and caring, not as teasing as the tone on his voice.
"Tell me a bit more about your quirk. I know you can work with plants. But is it any kind of plant? Or a specific type? You wanted to work in rescue operations, so certain plants might be helpful for you." He was still trying to drive the conversation away from the girl's stalker. Hopefully, he could make her smile and get her thinking about something else. He just hoped this was a push in the right direction.
Plus, it was nice hearing about other peoples' powers. He couldn't do much with his. He summoned ghostly hands, he could combine them, use them for platforms, use them to restrain people, help him draw, but that was it. They were just hands. He could play a mean game of rock, paper scissors with them though!

Of course Miku sat down with him and she also chose the same coffee as her Teacher, mostly because she had no idea what to choose. When he asked if she wanted to talk about something else and then tease her, she blushed a bit. Just a bit. She reaallly just wanted to cover her face, but at the last second, she realized that would make her just blush more. He then asked her about her Quirk "My Quirk? Well, as far as I know I could manipulate any plants. I mean I'm still too weak to control trees, but I could manipulate their branches. I could grow any plant as long as I have the correct plant seed. I mean...I tried to train and master my Quirk and learn its limits. Being raised and I guess trained by a Vigilante has taught me my Quirks limit. My Quirks range is 3m radius. And..I ...uhh... I dunno. Thats all I really know. I tried to train before coming to UA so I could be ready. But our Quirks werent compatible. So showing me how to use my quirk was hard." Miku shrugged, she really didnt know what to say
So she sipped on that coffee and tried it for the first time. She had no idea what to make of this taste.
