[So. Here's that green-haired, freckled teen that his loud bff was going on about. Izuku sits cross-legged on the bed in his bedroom of his newly provided apartment that he has yet to decorate or anything to personalize the space. He looks a little sheepish as he checks if it seems to be working. He's used to something similar, having this sort of technology back home, at least.]

Um. Hi? I'm Midoriya. That is, uh, Midoriya Izuku. I guess a lot of you already kind of know of me from Kacchan earlier...

[He's sorry. Really. It isn't like he asked Bakugo to go off like that.]

I was just trying to get my bearings, I guess. I heard there's school, or at least classes, here. To learn about our new abilities? I think I'd like that. I want to learn to use mine. To at least learn how to control it. If not to help out with it, and my Quirk. Plus, I want to look into prosthetics to help Kacchan. Maybe learn more about music....? I'm sure there's probably a library or something I can check! And I want to be useful and help out, maybe figure out a part-time job?

[......Yeah. That talk that he had with Bakugo about not overdoing it. Izuku might already be wanting to do more than he might realistically be able to manage. Because he's a Nerd and actually wants to Learn about this place and the abilities, and wants to help out as much as he can. This kid is just not used to the idea of not keeping busy, not being useful. Still in that habit of feeling like he has to prove himself.]

As you said, there are a lot of options. I'm sure there's something out there that you can do while still taking your classes. The tutoring could be easy because you could do it between whatever classes you're taking.

[sizhui's still waiting to hear back on a part-time gig, but he's also been trying to figure out a plot in spring where he can start a community garden for everyone to enjoy.]

You're welcome. Are they? Interesting... Yes, whatever I can teach you might help with that. Is there a particular instrument you want to learn?

Even if you aren't the top of your class, I'm sure you still have plenty you could teach people. But yes, it's not a bad idea to keep your options open, seeing as there is a lot that one can do while they're here.

[if he's good with kids, maybe he could work at a daycare or something of the sort? it also seems like he has some people that want him to work with them, so!]

I'm sure there are instruments that we can borrow until we figure out how to get our own. I have my guqin, so I can teach you on that, but it all depends on what you want to learn.

[he nods.] Well, there is a lot to choose from, some I'm even learning about myself, like the piano. Yes, it's a Chinese zither, if you know what that is. It would be the easiest thing for me to teach you since I already know how to play that, but I'm learning other instruments myself, so...

[like the xiao and the dizi, both types of flutes that he knows from back home.]

Sure, sure! You take your time on deciding and just let me know when and what you would like to learn, okay? Music comes easily once you know the scales and notes.

[whatever midoriya chooses, sizhui will happily help him with, even if it's an instrument he's completely unfamiliar with; it's not like he can't learn too, after all.]

I'll teach you whatever you are willing to learn. Whether you join or not, you'll have some skills under your belt to help them out either way.

[they've only just met, but midoriya is a good boy! sizhui would currently support him in anything and music is something he's quite passionate about, so.]

I was considering taking some classes that might help with our abilities myself. I'm not too sure about any other classes, either. If you figure it out, will you let me know? There might be some things I'd be interested in learning while I'm here.

[it seems like a lot of people are willing to help with things if sizhui's network post and this one are anything to go by, which is nice because it would've made settling in a lot harder if people weren't helpful.]

All of them, haha! I know, that's a bit much, but I want to learn anything and everything I can about this new world.

[he'll super-duper appreciate it and in exchange, maybe he could share some of the food he's going to end up growing eventually? lots of fruits and vegetables and, if midoriya's interested, flowers too. (although he probably shouldn't eat those unless they're edible types.)]

[personal profile] deferences 2025-07-08 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Not every one, no, but whatever ones you learn about, I'll take them and decide what I want to learn from there. I'd bet it's similar here with the optional and mandatory choices.

[if he wanted to do something in exchange for the food, sizhui wouldn't say no either, but he would also want to do something in return for that because offering midoriya food would be his initial thought for him helping out with the classes. (this is a back-and-forth sort of thing, isn't it?)]
