Sorry for the long wait yall, I forgot time existed
It's been a week since the Sports Festival, 1-A and 1-B were a day away from going to their week long internships, finishing what packing and preparations they needed before bed. So literally no one was ready for the pinged message from Kaminari that linked an article and absolutely no context.
GeorgeLopez: www.smallmightdatareports.com/reports/stats-and-data-that-show-why-Endeavor-is-less-than-number-two
JazzHands: OwO whats this?
AttentionToDeTail: it's too late for that, please stop Toru.
ACIDiTEA: oh! is this SmallMight's new report on Endawhore?
the perfect scathing review of a burning dumpster fire?
where he drags the man's 'heroic' capabilities?
KendoKnowsKarate: It really is good that someone decided to bring to light the less than stellar track record of Japan's Number Two.
ACIDiTEA: it's a good read, a bit long bc it's SmallMight, but worth it
every sentence that isn't a stat is a burn so hot recovery girl couldn't heal it even if she wanted to
it gave me life
doitfortheVINE: the Lord approves
IceIsHot: I approve
YELLING: this is 40 pages. Ashido and Kaminari read this but can't read Cementoss' five page short story?
DEKirU: as much as i hate to say this Present Mic, i'd also rather read 40 pages of tea dragging an abysmal 'hero' than 5 pages of modern lit.
YELLING: ...
fair.
RobotDad: it is nearing 10pm, we have to be at the train station early tomorrow, everyone please go to sleep!
I have also read this report and as much as I dislike the tone behind it, I can not argue the facts it contains!
RockOn: it's so manly!
SmallMight is a legend!
Social media was abuzz with it as well, #SmallMight, #NixNumber2, and #SMAnalysisReport were all trending by morning. Endeavor's lawyers and PR team had tried to have the article taken down many times for every little thing they could, but the writer hadn't done anything illegal so nothing could be done.
A new article was posted that night which Kaminari again linked in the group chat.
GeorgeLopez: www.smallmightdatareports.com/reports/evidence-of-forced-censorship-by-Endeavor-campaign
aChestWithTeeth: ha! not only did they fail in covering Endeavor's ass, they added gas to the fire!
CatsCoffeeAndComments: is this Karma?
IceIsHot: can confirm, this is definitely Karma.
QuirkSnatched: i can honestly say, this is not what i was expecting from this chat at 2 in the morning.
but either way, it's late. you have internships tomorrow. go to sleep.
✨Sparkles✨: oui! someone as dashing and glamorous as I needs my sommiel de beaute!
FUNGIrl: but you look great already. there's not mushroom for improvement there
MySoul,DarkAsShadows: you do shine very bright
there is very little darkness in you
Shadows,DarkAsMySoul: what a mad banquet of darkness
Bloodbender: I'm only going to say this once. Go. To. Sleep.
So I can sleep.
In the morning, #NixNumber2, #JailEndeavor2237 and #EndEndeavor were trending all over, people were looking into other things the man could have covered up.
There was no word from SmallMight for the rest of the month, rumors had spread that they had been taken to court for their articles by Endeavor's legal team, suing for defamation and slander. But the articles never came down so people assumed that if that was true, SmallMight was winning.
The next Endeavor article was posted near the end of the next month, there had been other articles between the last Endeavor one and this one but they were about other heroes. Todoroki linked it this time.
IceIsHot: www.smallmightdatareports.com/reports/reasons-Endeavor's-legal-team-hate-me-and-why-they-can't-do-anything-about-it
ARMedanddangerous: this is 50 pages of legal loopholes and subtle digs at Endeavor's legal team and it honestly scares me
You'llFloatToo: i aspire to cause this much chaos :)
DEKirU: it's a very interesting read, hints at the legal team doing illegal stuff to try and cover for Endeavor's illegal actions
TapeMeUp: i wonder if that will be SmallMight's next article dragging Endawhore?
how much longer do you think it will take before the man is booted from the top 10 or gets his license taken away?
💥 EXPLODEyourFACE: any amount of time past 'now' is too fucking long
Goddess: Sadly, I have to agree with Bakugo
Shadows,DarkAsMySoul: what a mad banquet of darkness
QuirkSnatched: the faculty had been informed that we should not be condoning the ridicule and exposure of a fellow Pro-Hero.
Fortunately for you all, I do not see you ridiculing nor exposing any pro that I care to defend, so carry on.
YELLING: Shoooo! That's not what the board meant and you know it! Endeavor may not be a good hero, but he's still a pro, yo!
QuirkSnatched: it's come to my attention that Endeavor is still apparently a hero, so if you are going to badmouth him, please do so on another channel or server without any Pros.
Bloodbending: I think you were supposed to tell them to stop not move it to another channel.
QuirkSnatched: that would be illogical and a waste of my time.
they wouldn't listen to that anyway.
And so a new channel is made to the UA First Year Hero Course Server where only the students could see it, aptly titled roast-endawhore.
The next article comes out and it's surprisingly Kuroiro who posts it.
MySoul,DarkAsShadows: www.smallmightdatareports.com/reports/every-illegal-thing-Endeavor-has-done-and-whether-he-got-away-with-it-or-not-chart
GeorgeLopez: h o l y s h i t . . .
DEKirU: just a heads up to people who are going to click the link, it will take a long time to load.
it's a 76 page long chart of all of Endawhore's crimes, sorted into whether he got away with it or not, what his punishment was, with linked evidence and further articles explaining each case.
Goddess: I am starting to worry for SmallMight. How do they find the time to do all this? Are they taking care of themselves?
MCRisDEAD: how do they find all this evidence?
RobotDad: Indeed, if they obtained this information through illegal means, they would be considered a vigilante and could be jailed or fined.
IceIsHot: most of what I've read so far is public information
it's just that no one bothers to go looking for it
everything else can be accessed by anyone who knows were to look in a legal manner
Toadette: I find it suspicious that no one else has ever not looked into this, kero
with how much there is and how easily one can access it according to Shoto
CatsCoffeeAndComments: sounds like Endeavor's being protected by more than just his PR and legal team
smells like a conspiracy to me
DEKirU: well, with what the Hero Commission is and has done to Hawks, I wouldn't put it past them to cover up Endeavor's wrong doings.
GeorgeLopez: wait
what are they doing to Hawks?
Shadows,DarkAsMySoul: ...
DEKirU is offline
💥 EXPLODEyourFACE: shitty fucking deku running away
what haven't they done to the fucking chicken
Shadows,DarkAsMySoul: what do you mean?
💥 EXPLODEyourFACE: I MEAN, he's fucking 22, number 3 fucking hero
youngest hero ever and youngest hero to reach top 10, 5, and 3.
he never attended a fucking hero school
had his own agency at 18.
What the fuck do you think they did to him?
Hell, no one knows his real name.
doitfortheVINE: no one knows All Might's real name either.
💥 EXPOLDEyourFACE: yes, dumb ass, and there's a reason for that.
just like there's a reason no one knows Hawks'.
DEKirU is online
DEKirU: All Might does it because he has things he needs to protect
Hawks does it because the HPSC has things they need to protect
namely where Hawks came from, how he ended up in their hands, why no one saw him before he debuted after he was scouted early on.
IceIsHot: that does sound suspicious
RatGod: I ask that you not give anymore information to them Midoriya. That is a very sensitive topic at the moment.
DEKirU: Right, my apologies
RatGod: as for the rest of you, please put Hawks out of your mind for the time being.
Maybe focus on the fact that Endeavor is going to trial for all the crimes SmallMight has brought to light.
You'llFloatToo: good! he deserves it!
Goddess: do you think SmallMight takes suggestions?
Mt. Lady probably gets chocolates from construction companies every time she's in a fight
I'm surprised she hasn't accidentally killed more people than she has.
KendoKnowsKarate: that's a good point. she does tend to cause more physical damage to the surrounding areas than the villains she fights do
IRONMAN: it's not manly to cause civilian deaths and structural damage that can be prevented!
RockOn: Bro!
IRONMAN: Bro!
CatsCoffeeAndComments: what are the chances that he'll get his license taken away during the trial?
DEKirU: slim to none. at most he'll have to pay a couple billion in damages, and have his name and rep dragged through the mud
I think it only needs one more push, don't you Shoto?
IceIsHot: indeed
CatsCoffeeAndComments: are you two going to share your thoughts to us mere mortals?
IceIsHot: i'm going to talk to SmallMight
ACIDiTEA: oh? you know who it is?
💥 EXPLODEyourFACE: where the fuck do you think the bastard got all that info on Endashit?
GeorgeLopez: so you've been holding out on us, eh?
IceIsHot is offline
DEKirU: a lot of people have been holding out on you, for instance,
Jiro knows what Snipe looks like under his mask
Kendo really does know Karate and other martial arts
Toshi has five cats, Aizawa has eleven
Kacchan knows JSL
Nezu knows everything except who SmallMight is and it drives him crazy
RatGod: that's quite enough chaos, Izuku.
DEKirU: 👍
Shadows,DarkAsMySoul: revelry in the dark
Most everyone was gone from the dorms, being a nice Sunday, most were at the mall or park, a few others with their families. Izuku was lying out in the common room, typing away at his laptop, feet in Shoto's lap.
SmallMight had posted quite a few reports in the last few months on both Mt. Lady and Death Arms as well as a few other lesser known heroes detailing their excessive use of force and it's negative impact on the civilian population among other things. He was set to post a new one tonight, he just had to finish up the editing on both the video and transcript as well as the article he'd added.
This should be his last Endeavor article before the man is finished for good.
"What are yall doing?"
Shoto looked up at Sero's question, not realizing the boy had never left with the rest. "Watching," he answered deadpan.
"Watching what?"
Shoto gestured to Izuku and they all fell into a comfortable silence, Izuku's typing being the only noise. Eventually, Sero sits by Izu, gently adjusting the boy so his head was on Sero's lap, Izu didn't even spare the attention to notice, so focused on his computer screen.
After a few more minutes of continuous clacking noise, Sero pipes up, "did we have homework I wasn't aware of?"
Shoto shakes his head, watching as a few of their classmates start trickling quietly into the dorms, "this is just a side project of his he's been working on for a while."
At the vague answer, Sero tilts his head to get a peek at what Izu is typing. He's almost thrown off by the amount of words on the page, but remembers this is Izuku and Izu doesn't do anything halfway. The boy is typing so fast that Sero has to pick out a sentence he just typed just to be able to read it even partially before it reached the top of the screen.
"...even if Endeavor's 'training' methods were in any way legal or moral (which they are most certainly not as they violate at least eight laws) forcing a five year old to train for something they do not even know if they want to do yet is..."
Sero blinks at that, looking back at Shoto who looks as calm as he usually does, if not with a slight upquirk in his mouth, he looks back at the screen.
"...driving his wife to a mental and emotional breaking point (not mentioning the obvious and poorly hidden quirk marriage he arranged) is a blatant show of abuse and neglect, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Forcing her into a mental hospital that is being paid to keep her there, not help her get better, and refusing to let one of their children see her is..."
Again, Sero blinks, unable to comprehend what he was seeing. He digs out his phone and messages the group chat.
TapeMeUp: guys...
I think Izu is SmallMight
Several people are typing...
RockHard: Whaa?
Goddess: That is...highly probable now that I think of it.
aChestWithTeeth: I wouldn't put it past him
ACIDiTEA: Evidence?
CatsCoffeeandComments: I can see it
RockHard: Why do you say that Sero-bro
TapeMeUp: I'm sitting here watching him type up a fucking essay level document on Endeawhore
It's scary how fast he's typing
he didnt even notice when I sat next to him
or moved him
or talked
AnimalsAreBetter: 🤯🤯🤯
SweetTooth: That is terrifying to think about
Scales: ^^
ACIDiTEA, aChestWithTeeth, and thirty nine others reacted with 😱

KendoKnowsKarate: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
IamEVERYWHERE: so...we can expect a new SmallMight report out soon?
IceIsHot: Yes, Tokage, he said he should be done by tonight.
Several people are typing...
RockOn: wha

InvisibleHelpers: have you known this whole time shott?
shoto*
IceIsHot: indeed

ACIDiTEA: WAIT! if you knew then...
@💥 EXPLODEyourFACE

Several people are typing...
RockOn: Bro!
GeorgeLopez: OMG...did you?
TapeMeUp: betrayal
JazzHands: oohhhh...
BloodRedFeathers: It's been a while, I don't think he's online...
Several people are typing...
GeorgeLopez: HAWKS?!?!?!
Shadows,DarkAsMySoul: what a mad banquet of darkness...
You'llFloatToo: HAWKS!!!!!
Goddess: I was unaware any pro other than Nezu and Aizawa was in this chat...
RobotDad: this chat is only for UA Hero Course Students!
I must politely as that you leave at once!
KendoKnowsKarate: how did you get in here?
BloodRedFeathers: I think Izu let me in one day...
I'm not sure how he got my info though
IceIsHot: That does sound like him
You'llFloatToo: yeah...
BloodRedFeathers: I love all of your users btw
Several people are typing...
💥 EXPLODEyourFACE: STOP BLOWING UP MY PHONE GODDAMMIT!

GeorgeLopez, TapeMeUp, and two others reacted with 👆

DEKirU: I just posted it, so if you guys want to check it out...
www.smallmightdatareports.com/reports/why-endeavor-does-not-deserve-to-be-a-hero-husband-or-father
doitfortheVINE: dear Lord...
Goddess: and you were alright with the world knowing all of this about you and your family, Shoto?
was your family okay with it?
did they even know?
IceIsHot: my siblings were aware
Natsu has been wanting to do much the same thing for a while now
and Fyumi was okay with it as long as there was a large chance that it would work
I have not been able to see my mother nor have they been able to tell her about what has been going on, but they assured me that she would have supported it
aChestWithTeeth: Jeez, now that I know it's Izu doing this, it's all the more terrifying
TapeMeUp: you have another brother?
whos a villain?
RatGod: Shoto, I think it would be wise to set up an appointment with Hound Dog.
IceIsHot: very well
can Izu come with me
RatGod: If you want him there and think he will be helpful to you.
IceIsHot: I do
Izu?
DEKirU: I don't mind!
Two days later, Endeavor has his hero license placed on hold as his court hearings proceed, custody of his children as been given to Fyumi who shared custody of Shoto with UA, and he'd been released on bail. Everything is very hush-hush, Endeavor and his agency makes zero public appearances or statements, the other sidekicks and interns continue business as usual, just without the raging dumpster fire leading them.
Most of class A and some of class B had decided to go to the mall for gift shopping since Christmas was so close. They even got Bakugo, Shoto, and Shinso to come along too. They split into groups when they arrive, making sure that no one was completely alone after what happened with Izu last time.
Shoto, Izu, Shinso, Iida, and Uraraka had decided to group together, none too keen to leave Izu again, and they headed toward one section of the mall as the other groups went in other directions. As they did, Izu got distracted with an All Might hoodie hanging in a shop window, causing both Iida and Uraraka to walk on without them as Shinso and Shoto had almost run into him when he stopped.
Shinso was quick to get the others attentions before they could be completely separated and Izu looked sheepish as they came rushing back. Uraraka ended up grabbing his arm and linking her other one with Iida's. Shinso smirked at the boys' blushes and took Izu's other arm, dragging Shoto into the chain as well.
And that's how they passed most of their morning, a few people switching out with different groups so they could get presents for everyone without anyone seeing what was meant for them. Shoto had just been returned to Izu and Uraraka when they spotted a unfortunately familiar face in the crowd.
And no, it was not Shigaraki or another villain, that would be too nice for fate to allow.
Enji Todoroki was stalking through the crowds, everyone giving him a wide berth as the man passed, highly recognizable even without his signature fire mustache and beard. And boy, did he look angry about something.
Shoto immediately tensed beside them while Izuku and Uraraka unconsciously slide in front as if to unsuccessfully block him from view, which happened to be what brought Endeavor's attention to them.
His face twisted even more, letting out a loud, angry, 'you!' before moving faster toward them, civilians scrambling to get out of his way.
It managed to catch some of the class's attention and they all hurried over to the area that was getting noticeably hotter by the second.
Izu stepped forward as Ashido, Ojiro, and Shoji slipped into their protective bubble around Shoto.
"Enji," Izu said, voice dripping contempt and authority in a way most of their class had forgotten he could. "You've a restraining order and aren't allowed to be within 500 meters of Shoto. Please leave before I call the police."
The temperature spiked, "Shoto is my-"
"He's not your anything. Please leave, and please stop using your quirk as public quirk use is illegal for someone without a license, like you."
Kirishima, Tetsu, Kaminari, and Iida had come up by that time, Iida already calling the police as Kaminari messaged the group chat, Aizawa and Nezu responding immediately along with most of those that didn't come to the mall and a few that did.
The temperature rose again, enough people had their phones out and recording that Izuku didn't have to worry about not having evidence if Endeavor is stupid enough to try to fight them.
Which is a good thing, as it turns out, because Endeavor is stupid enough to fight them. He jets out a lance of fire that Shoda arrived just in time to stop at which point both Uraraka and Izuku have had enough and launch themselves at the man.
As they move to fight him, the rest of the classes finally arrive and set up a perimeter to help try and keep the civilians who ended up watching safe. Izuku distracts Endeavor enough for Uraraka to tag him and float him up a few stories, but the man is a pro, so he quickly adjusts but not quick enough to stop Izuku from flying at him and kicking him into the ground, with the help of Honenuki softening it enough to not shatter upon impact and make a huge mess.
With Endeavor now subdued, the police arrive, quickly cuffing Enji and leading him away once Honenuki let him out of the ground. Statements are taken, but as everyone who participated had their provisional licenses, and Endeavor had attacked first, they were just let off with an official warning and unofficial praise at not severely damaging anything or anyone and still subduing the man.
And that is how Izuku took down the Number Two Hero, Endeavor, both from his position and physically. This was also how the class learned not to touch Izuku's laptop as he had files upon files of blackmail and sources and evidence on heroes, politicians, CEOs, criminals, and everything in between. After all, since Izuku was SmallMight, he had to have the resources and evidence to back up his reports. They also learned really quick that his notebooks were terrifying and off limits (he had thirty of those?!?).
