"He's up, cripple boy," Horizon says, leaning back on Nezu's couch with a bottle of water in his hand.
"You're calling him 'Cripple Boy'?" Nezu asks, watching Izuku walk up to throw the baseball.
"It's what he'll be if he doesn't get his shit together, but if Eraserhead is as much of a hardass as you said his hero career ends here," Horizon shrugs and gives the screen his full attention.
Nezu takes a sip from his second cup of tea. "Unfortunately unless Midoriya has made some great improvements that appears to be the case, normally he'd expel you for not showing up on the first day of school, but since you're with me he can't do that."
They see Izuku eventually throw the ball by only activating One For All in a single finger, and Nezu smiles, but Horizon just sighs in disappointment.
"It's rare for a Quirk to hurt the user like that," Horizon says. "Most Quirks have a kind of built-in recoil absorption, but somehow you let in two Quirks without that adaptation. One breaks bones and the other needs a diaper."
