A/N: Continuation of Tsume's Social Link...Persona Style...Yes I am a huge fan of Persona. Lol. I've became interested in the fourth and fifth game. 

Request: Becoming Human Again...

Hello Little Listeners! It's your favorite teacher again! Hey listen. I know you guys might not like this. But I suddenly had an idea. It's about our newest recruit, Tsume. I know what you're thinking. Half of you don't what nothing to do with him and I can't blame for that. But regarding his backstory, it's pretty sad. I was hoping some of you can teach him some social interactions and start getting along. You never know, he might learn a thing or two from you guys. This is going to be an ongoing request. Because I know it's going to be hard. But please...don't give up on him. He may not say anything but he needs as much help from a hero as anybody else does.

Client: Present Mic

Rank: 5

Mikoto: Okay...It's a day since we've talked with Tsume...I think it's time I go look for him again. This time with a different group...

He already talked with Sylvia, Haru, & Kenji on the matter and they're cool with it.

Sadly, Souta seems like he's too caught up with other personal related matters, so he's out...

Mikoto: Alrgiht. I'm going to get help from the Jacksquad this time.

He begin to phone them.

~Later~

Mikoto and the Jacksquad begin to all over for Tsume in the hallways.

Eito: Do we really have to do this?

Luna: Come on Eito. I know half of the class don't like him but if we're going to get along. We need to get Tsume on our side.

Samuel: That's right. Sure. He did a lot of damage as Niko. But it wouldn't hurt to help him find closure in redeeming himself.

Jack:.... Well what if he doesn't want to redeem himself?

Destiny: Present Mic said he'll go back to prison if he don't. There's a reason why he's in rehab in the first place.

Mikoto: Thank you guys for helping me. 

Jack: Hey no probs, Class Rep.

Mikoto: You guys are aware of the rumors, right?

Destiny: The rumors about him being an ex-villain in rehab. Sure do. 

Jack: People sure do like talking shit about others. Even at U.A. 

Luna: Yeah! They get excited fast and lost interest even faster....It goes round and round like record player. There's no underlying reason for it. Alright then. Let's go cat-hunting.

Destiny: Uhhh...He's not Niko. He doesn't wear the hoodie no more...

Luna: Oh...right...I forgot he's not an actual cat...As much I am scared of Niko. But the cat hoodie does look cool.

Samuel: It must be a fashion style...

Eito: Tch. I still don't want to see him...

Samuel: *Scowls* Eito!

Eito: What? What did I do?!

Luna: Good to see he has some of his mean-spirited personality.

Suddenly, they all stopped once they saw a small group of students nearby. In the middle of them was the person they were looking for. 

Mikoto:... What's going on?

Luna: Oh no...I have a bad feeling...

The group walked a little closer to see the three unnamed students talking to Tsume. 

Male Student #1 : I've heard of you! You're the shadow slasher aren't you?!

Tsume: Whether I am. Whether I'm not. What's it to ya?

Male Student #1: You got a lot of nerve showing your face here at U.A! Villains like you don't deserve to be here!

Male Student #2: That's right! Murderers like you deserve to be locked up behind bars!

Female Student: Yeah! Do everyone a favor and go away! You freak!

Tsume: Freak? Wow. It's been awhile since I've been called that. Come up with something better next time you spineless wannabe heroes. 

The students got angrier at that insult.

Male Student #1: You little shit! You got a lot of nerve! How about we put you in your place!

Female Student: W-Wait! Won't we get in trouble?

Male Student # 2: Not like anyone is going to do a thing about it. He's a villain remember and heroes beat up villains~~~!

Mikoto and the Jacksquad did not like where this is going.

Tsume: Really? You guys think you're heroes by ganging up on me? Is that what you all think heroes are about. You're sadly mistaken. It's no wonder you aren't in the hero course. You would've been a waste of everyone's time. 

Female Student: H-How dare you!

Male Student #1: Now you're asking for it! 

Tsume: Oh temper temper. This argument is just senseless and petty bullying. You brats don't have the means to survive the hero society's two-faced nature. 

Male Student #2: Let's just beat him up. If he tries using his quirk. It's on him. We'll just tell the teachers he used his quirk and we fought back in self-defense~! 

Male #1: Ohhh~! I'm going to enjoy this.

Luna: *Disgusted* (Honestly. Bullies. They're all the same...)

The three students zone in on Tsume. Mikoto and the others had just about enough of this.

Jack: HEY!

The six of them begin to walk on over to the group.

Male Student #1: Oh crap! The hero students!

Mikoto: Tsume! There you are! We were looking for you!

Tsume:....Eh?

Samuel: Big Brother was so worried.

Luna: Yeah. You promised me & Samuel we go swimming later!

Tsume:...I did? 

Tsume then noticed what they were doing.

Tsume: Oh. I guess I did promised you that. Sorry it must've slipped my mind.

Destiny: Oh silly Tsume. Keep this up and you stoop to Jack's level! Anyway, what's going on here? Are these guys giving you a hard time?

Male #2: U-Uhh...We weren't...hahaha...

Samuel: I hope you guys know that bullying is wrong here at U.A.

Eito: The teachers here won't definitely like that.

Mikoto: If I remember, unlike many other schools out there who turns a blind eye to bullying. That doesn't work here at U.A. Bullying, Harassment, Assault, & Quirk Usage without a hero license at this school would mean either expulsion or jail time. 

Samuel: We had Riku recorded the whole outcome.

Female Student: E-Eeeep! 

Male Student #2: L-Let's go!

Male Student #1: D-Damnit! *Glares at Tsume* This isn't over!

Destiny: Threatening will get you no where unless you want us to tell the Principal! Do you want him to bring out the wrecking ball? Again?

Male Student #1: *Scared* F-F-FUCK!!! 

The posse left without another word.

Jack: Assholes. 

Mikoto: Are you okay,  Tsume?

Tsume: I'm fine. You guys didn't need to do that.

Jack: But dude. No way in heck are we going to allow those guys to beat you up at they please.

Tsume: Well it's because they're afraid of Niko.

Jacksquad: ?!!!

Mikoto:....

Tsume: Think about it. When I was Niko. I've killed a lot of people in the past. Citizens. Heroes. Men. Women. Children. Elderly. I wouldn't be surprised if one of those randoms had a relative that was one of my victims. So can you blame them for hating me?

Mikoto: Tsume...

Jack: Well...that killed the mood...

Destiny: Jack!

Jack: What?!

Tsume: Well he does have a point...society is a cruel mistress. 

Eito: Because society wants you dead?

Tsume: Bingo. But oh well...I must say...even if I don't like you lot all that much... But...that was really cool of you to stand up for me...Thanks...I guess...

Jack: No probs dude!

Luna: Yeah! What are friends for?

Tsume:.....Friends? That's a bit of stretch there...

Luna: I-I know. But I believe it's best we all get along. I mean...I know it sounds naive but...it wouldn't hurt to start over as friends....right?

Samuel: Yeah. I second that.

Eito: Still having doubts...

Destiny: Eito! Shut Up!

Eito: What?! I can't voice my opinion?!

Tsume:....Friends...Never had one before...Speaking of friends. You can tell the analysis kid to delete the recordings. There's no need.

Mikoto: Oh...that...well...

Tsume: What?

Luna: That was a lie...

Tsume's eyes went wide.

Tsume: A lie?

Destiny: Yeah...the whole...Risky recording the whole conversation was a lie just to intimidate those jerks.

Tsume:...A scare tactic... You guys used a scare tactic...and your heroes...pffft. Haha hahaha hahaha!

Tsume started genuinely laughing. 

Just hearing him laugh... It was quite different from Niko's laugh. Niko's laugh was evil. Demonic. Hollow. Fake.

Tsume's laugh on the other hand. It sounded...

Sweet. Adorable. Contagious.

It was so contagious, the other couldn't help but laugh too.

Mikoto smiled at that. While there is no hope for Niko...But maybe just maybe...there is some hope for Tsume Yamikage. 

Because right there...Tsume had begin to slowly open his heart to Class 1-C.
