As I entered the class the class looked at me with disdain,

Bakugo: look it's the traitor.
Deku: ugh why'd you even show up to class?
Ochaco: you shouldn't of even come here
Denki: why are you even here traitor?
Aizawa: quiet down everyone He eyed me with disappointment 

I sat down at my seat my usual bubbly, happy, and gentle demeanor replaced with a cold calculating steely one. I watched all around me. staring at people with anger and disgust.

Aizawa: tell me Rhi why did you do that? he eyed me questioningly
Me: Would you have helped her if she was a civilian?

my question hung in the air for a few moments, everyone seemed confused at my question. then Aizawa continued.

Aizawa: if she was a civilian she would need to be saved, that doesn't answer why you helped a villain with multiple crimes against this society, who was wanted by the authorities.
Me: You are a disgrace! I snapped you all are. she was dealing with mental health issues and yet you pushed her down. all she was looking for was help!

Everyone stilled at my outburst they'd never seen me so angry and full of fury before. I was rarely angry, and never full of fury. I stood up.

Aizawa: she a wanted criminal Rhi! she needed to be stopped, that's how this society works!
Me: Well then fuck this society! she deserves help just like civilians, this whole system is fucked! and if we're taught to step on those reaching out for help just because they're villains or have villainous quirks?! I don't want any part of it. I stood up royally infuriated I'm done, you all can suck dicks for all I care! goodbye!

I walked out of the room fury bubbling in every part of my body, some of my classmates went to stop me, but Eraserhead stopped them. he wasn't sensei to me anymore. I walked around campus to cool off before heading to the principal's office. I knocked lightly before hearing a faint "come in" and I entered, me and Nezu were really good friends, I owed him my life after he found my shivering on the side of the road because of mental health issues and my family not able to handle it.

Me: Hello Nezu sir. I know you had big plans for me... but I can't put up with being a hero in training anymore... I want to help those less fortunate them me and my classmates. I am thinking I am going to go into the villain rehabilitation field. It was an honor coming to your school and learning, but hero work in this society is not what I want to be a part of. it's because of this society, many individuals with mental health issues are forced into villainy.

Nezu's eyes widened in concern he seemed lost in thought before he spoke his voice calming to my heated expression

Nezu: I understand your fury at this society, but the villain rehabilitation field is an extremely challenging field. it's filled with possible dangers that don't fit someone of your age. now I know how strong you are so I have a little less worry, but I want you to make the right choice. I agree that this society isn't helpful to those with mental health issues, and you being one could really help others in their quest to find their role. so I support you in every endeavor. just please be safe.
Me: I know sir, and if it wasn't for you, I'm sure I would've followed the same path, it's because of your kindness. it's that same kindness that I want to show others who were in my shoes. Hero work is a goal of mine from long ago. it's not something that fits me however. I know where I belong, and that's helping villainous youth and adults find a place within society that isn't villainy. I have you to thank for showing me the right path. it's been an honor working under your tutelage, but this is the path for me.

Nezu smiled at me and nodded, I could tell his thoughts were whirling around in his brain, he stayed silent for another five minutes before starting to speak.

Nezu: I'd like to support you in any way I can, I remember that small form of you on the side of the road shivering in the mid winter air with shredded clothing. I never want to see that again, I know that you are going to become a wonderful villain rehab individual. I know your kindness is going to show so many people the way to a new life. I am very thankful that you came to UA and tried it no matter how difficult it was after the USJ incident. and I thank you for coming to me to discuss this first, I am going to miss having you around for tea chats however.

Me: Oh I'm planning on still having tea chats, I just will be around a lot less. hopefully I can send some of the troubled youth here to start anew. there are individuals who have potential to become wonderful heroes and I want to ignite that spark within them. my goal is to help those who are less fortunate than me and the class I was once a part of. those who think that they'll be stuck in villainy for their lives because of their quirk or their circumstances.

Nezu smile warmly at me and motioned for me to sit down, I nodded and we shared a cup of tea. we both heard a knock on the door and I heard Eraserhead's voice. "Principal Nezu, may I come in." I nodded at Nezu who stated "come in" and in entered Eraserhead looking at me with slight surprise.

Eraserhead: I was just coming to look for you Kitsu, I want to see you back in class by tomorrow.

Me: are you gonna tell my classmates to chill the fuck down or are you going to keep what is happening in that class happening? because if you're not going to fix your attitude about USJ then I want no part of your classes Eraserhead.

Eraserhead: I still think what you did is wrong so I believe what is happening in my class is justified. so now I will not tell your classmates to "chill the fuck down." why are you even so angry? she's a wanted criminal...

Me: Enough, Eraserhead you are pathetic all you care about are the rules and protecting yourself and heroes in training. if you learned even a hint of what I learned from that supposed "villain" she was only 16 and struggling with mental health issues. so yeah of course she's a villain because she can't do anything else and get good feedback. she fell into a pit of self hatred that she couldn't escape making her lash out at others.

Eraserhead: still she's a villain and must be taken in and dealt with.

Me: Eraserhead, the supposed morally grey hero is seeming morally white right now.

Nezu choked on his tea slightly and Eraserhead looked awfully furious. I just stood up walked past him and said to Nezu, "I'll be chatting with you about how it goes. see you some other time Nezu Sir. on and tell Aizawa and the class my past" then I walked out of the door and walked out of the school

Eraserhead: Where is she going? she's still a student isn't she Principal? and what was that about her past?

Nezu: she is resigning from being a student and is going to become a villain rehabilitator. so no, she's not a student any longer. it's because of your class and what she learned from that villain that she chose that path. also her past, she was in the same boat as the villain she saved. only younger. at the age of seven she was thrown out of her house due to being bipolar. her family couldn't handle her anymore. so she was left on the streets. and for about 3 years she struggled at finding food so became a criminal to get food. mostly petty crimes like shoplifting. but then I found her and gave her a second chance. it's because of me that she didn't become like that villain she helped.

Eraserhead: ...

Nezu: it's because of your class that we lost a very powerful asset. her quirk allowed her voice to heal wounds. if she sang in certain tones she could even heal scars. her quirk is like recovery girl's quirk on steroids in terms of healing. so just think about that for a while.

Eraserhead: ...
