one move.

Shouta doesn’t trust this kid. There’s no way to disprove his intentions, not after Tsukauchi confirmed that he told no lies, aside from normal ones. Even now, Midoriya fits into his class so well he may as well have been enrolled in the beginning of the year. There’s no denying that his classmates like him, or don’t care enough to pay attention. The act just looks too real. His smiles aren’t faked. Deception never rings in his compliments to the other students. By all means, he looks like a normal highschool student. But Shouta’s gut is telling him something is wrong, and it’s never failed him before. Sure, his suspicions could be wrong. Logically, this kid is the only lead they have on a villain group that almost killed All Might. The best way to loosen his lips is to make him believe he’s safe, or even convert him to their side. He just can’t get past the niggling feeling in the back of his mind that Midoriya is toying with them.
