CHAPTER 6
Daniel: "This is the place huh?"
Aizawa: "Yep"
Daniel: "Quite hmm modest actually, last thing I'd expect from President Mic's home"
Aizawa: "You get used to it"
Both Daniel and Aizawa had left Union Academy and were now standing in front of President Mic's a.k.a Yamada Hizashi's house. That looked like the complete opposite of thing one would expect from the loud and impulsive hero everyone knows him to be. Before then was a nice, calm, peaceful, and modest-looking two-floor house.
They stare at the house for a bit before Daniel steps aside and motions Aizawa to go first.
Daniel: "After you, he is your friend"
Aizawa: "No he's not"
Daniel: "Your years of friendship say otherwise"
Aizawa: "Mire like he didn't get the hint, and just stayed around for years"
Daniel: "So best friends"
Aizawa: (eyes glow red and his scarf flouts for a second) "Quiet"
Daniel: (looks down nervously) "Yes sir"
Aizawa calms down and his eyes and scarf go back to their normal states, as he walks past Daniel and towards the door of the house. Daniel shook his head and followed after Aizawa, who stood in front of the door with a blank expression before he sighed and knocked on the door. Nothing is heard from the inside until Aizawa knocks on the door, but nothing happens.
Daniel: "You sure he's here?"
Aizawa: "He said he was"
Daniel: "Knock again? or call him?"
Aizawa: "He puts his phone on mute when he's not in school so I'll just keep knocking, but I'll get tired doing it"
Daniel: "You're just tired aren't you?"
Aizawa: "Yep"
Daniel: "Alright" (walks up to the door) "Let me" (looks to the side and sees a doorbell) "Oh hey a doorbell"
Daniel stares blankly at the door and starts spamming the doorbell without care.
Aizawa: "Having fun"
Daniel: "In a weird and nonboring way . . . . . this is therapeutic"
Aizawa: "Did you even go to therapy after the war had finished"
Daniel: "I did, told it I was fine, so I never went again"
Aizawa: "Problem child four you worry me sometimes"
Daniel: "I'm glad you still care"
Daniel continued to hit the doorbell without care and started to press it much quicker, as the clicking sound of the doorbell could be heard loudly now.
Aizawa: (hears footsteps) "I think you should stop"
Daniel: "Why you say tha—"
"STOOOOOP THAAAAAAT!!!"
The door gets blown away by a sound-based blast that comes from the inside of the house. Daniel reacts quickly enough to the attack and jumps out of the way while Aizawa just steps aside. The door goes flying until it lands on the street and walking out of the now doorless entry is Yamada Hizachi.
Yamada: "So who is the funny guy huh!?"
Aizawa: "Mic"
Yamada: "Hmm oh! Shouta my bro! How long has it been!? Because it feels like it's been years since I last saw you!"
Aizawa: "We saw each other yesterday"
Yamada: "Then it's been too long! Wait!? Were you the one hitting my doorbell!? You owe me a new door you know"
Aizawa: "That wasn't me, it was Daniel"
Yamada: (eyes widen) "Daniel? Wait Daniel's here!?"
Daniel: "Down here"
Yamada: "Huh?" (looks down)
Daniel: "Hey Mr. Hizachi"
Daniel was now in what he calls, his 'shadow puddle' as he was peaking his head out and looking up at Yamada.
Yamada: "Daniel!" (pats Daniel's shoulder) "Good to see you man, how's my superstar? Also, you owe me a door"
Daniel: (sighs) "I'll get my shadows to fix it don't worry, I'm good, and I'm glad to see you again loud teach"
Yamada: "Hugh!" (Feels hurt) "at least come up with a better nickname than that bro!"
Daniel: "But it makes sense"
Aizawa: "He has a point"
Yamada: "I swear you two are like father and son sometimes!"
Daniel: "Can we come inside, I'll ask some of my shadows to fix your door"
Yamada: "Yeah sure! Come on in my peps!"
Aizawa: "Not me, I only came to bring him here" (turns to leave) "See you some other time problem child number four, and stop being annoying Yamada"
Yamada: "Nice seeing ya bro!"
Daniel: "Bye Aizawa"
They wave goodbye at Aizawa before Yamada goes inside his house and is followed by Daniel. Who before going inside, summons his shadows to fix his door while he handles business with Yamada. Once inside Yamada sat on his couch while Daniel sat on the other couch which was on the opposite side of Yamada.
Yamada: "So superstar! What can you're dear old teach help you out with my young protege!"
Daniel: "I'm not you're protege, but" (sighs) "considering what I'm doing and what I'm going to ask I might just be your protege after this"
Yamada: "Hmm? Now what do you mean by that?"
Daniel: "Well . . . . . can I ask you something first before I tell you what I want to say?"
Yamada: "Of course, what's got you all bumping out is that you've searched for the mighty President Mic for help!"
Daniel: "Why did . . . Why did you become an English teacher Mr. Hizachi? Your powers are sound based and with you're impulsive personality I'd expect you to teach a music class or even become a famous singer, so why did you decide to teach English in a class full of people with many kinds of abilities?"
Yamada stared at Daniel surprised, he was surprised by the question he had been given, it was deep, honest, and sincere. Daniel wants to know more about Yamada's ideals and thoughts on what made him become a teacher. On a basic topic that would not make sense to teach considering the world they live in. To Daniel's surprise, Yamada's hype demeanor drops and he stares at Daniel with a serious expression.
Yamada: "Now that's quite the serious question there superstar" (scratches his chin) "For one thing, I wanted to be a teacher so I could help all my little brothers and sisters in Union Academy"
Daniel: "Hmm? You see students in Union Academy as your younger siblings?"
Yamada: "Heck yeah! Ever since I graduated and became a full flesh hero! I decided to come back to help all my little bros and sis! That way we all become heroes! And the other stuff"
Daniel: "Hunters, huntresses, shinobi, mages, and wizards?"
Yamada: "Yeah yeah whatever those things are, but you get it right?"
Daniel: "Kind off, but why English though?"
Yamada: "Simple really my still youthful and high-spirited listener"
Daniel: (stares at him blankly) "My spirits are low"
Yamada: "I swear you and Aizawa are the same!" (Clears his throat) "The answer to the question about why I chose to teach a general study like English when I could be doing some cool and awesome stuff is because of . . . words"
Daniel: "Words?" (tilts his head)
Yamada: "Words! Like for example, I'm pretty sure you noticed it easily, but whenever I use my quirk my attacks and shouts are always either a word or a sentence, though mostly a word" (leans back against the couch) "words can be powerful Daniel and when I think about teaching English, it might be boring, but we live in a world where this language as taken over quite a bit in our society and let's not talk about the other few dozen languages we have around here too, like Spanish and English, and so I teach English because I feel like it's something my little bros and sis would find useful in the future . . . actions speak louder than words, but what's the point of action when you don't get the words to back things up, make a rhyme, inspire others, and so many other things, plus the other topics presented in the English class are to refine and make sure you can handle and do the language better and in more ways than one"
Daniel was baffled beyond belief, he had never expected to hear Yamada like this and was surprised by his answer. So much so that it made him think about his own choices, as he looked down at the ground with a thoughtful expression, one that Yamada noticed.
Yamada: "What . . . . brought you to that question anyway"
Daniel: ". . . . . . I want to be an English educator"
Yamada: "Hu-Huh!? Really! You're following in your big bro's footsteps! Haha! I knew I had an impact on you!"
Daniel: "It wasn't because of you!"
Yamada: "Oh" (lowers his head) "my wish has not been accomplished yet it seems"
Daniel: "Oi! Don't give me that look!" (sighs) "Look, let me just tell you how it happened"
Yamada: (Brightens up) "Alright! I'm all ears"
Daniel: (shook his head) "It all started like a few days ago when I was out on patrol, Freed had a kid as a hostage and was waiting for me to come into the scene, which was his mistake as I saved the boy and took down Freed" (leans back against the couch and crosses his arms) "after that I decided to take the kid back to his school, spoke in Spanish too, but the weird part about him was his quirk"
Yamada: "His quirk?"
Daniel: "His quirk allowed him to understand and write down any language, but he can't speak these languages and worse phew when I saw him and his classmate in an English class, they were all struggling and the teacher wasn't doing much to help them, plus they were middle schoolers"
Yamada: "Hmm I see I see, now it makes sense" *scratches his chin before gaining an idea* "And you want to become an educator that's the opposite of the one you saw?"
-> Daniel: "That's right" (nods his head) "To me, an educator is someone that makes a path for his students, whether it's an easy path, a difficult path, or a path that's easy, but has its challenges. All these things will be all up to the educator." "They're the ones in charge of the students' education, making sure they master, learn properly, have fun learning, and being creative with the approach of their education. The ones that make a second home for the students, that make a space where students can be safe, comfortable, happy, eager, and entertained. Educators help students and defend them, showing them that he or she can be trusted with whatever they need.
Yamada: (whistle) "Couldn't have said it better myself hehe and that's the kind of educator you want to be"
Daniel: "Yes, I know I have my faults, but I want to try my best to become that sort of educator in the future"
Yamada: "You got the heart and mindset there superstar! I'm sure you'll do it!"
Just then, two shadow knights come inside the house and go back into Daniel's shadow.
Daniel: "Huh? Oh I think they're done fixing you're door"
Yamada: "Phew! I was scared I had to go buy one or make you buy one"
Daniel: "Yeah well that's done at least, and I like to thank you a lot Mr. Hizachi, you've helped me with something here, and didn't realize I had that in me"
Yamada: "Glad I was able to help, what you gonna do now?"
Daniel: "Hmmm" (places his hand on his chin until his eyes widen when getting an idea) "I think I'll be . . . paying my parents a visit actually"
Yamada: "Hmm really? Why's that?"
Daniel: "I'll have to see that for myself, but don't worry it's nothing too bad" (stands up) "Until next time Mr. Hizachi"
Yamada: "See ya around kid! And tell little superstar I said hi!"
Yamada referred to Kiara, Daniel's daughter. With one nod of his head, Daniel disappears from Yamada's house and goes towards his next destination, which might probably be his last destination.
