How Is This Place Worse Than Australia?

Chapters: 0, 1
‘Shit, why the fuck do people always call while I’m trying to sleep,’ I mentally curse as I rollover to where my phone is ringing with a familiar number that I can’t quite place flashing across the screen. “Hello, this is Eclipse, who is calling me at this ungodly hour of the morning on my one day off for the year,” I sass almost falling out of the bed as I sit up preparing to grab a notepad for if it is important.
“It’s Eraserhead, I’m calling because Nedzu, is looking for an international heroics teacher and I heard that you were involved with the Overhaul case, I understand if you want nothing to do with him but All Might is teaching this year and I fear that he is not properly qualified and might need someone to keep an eye on him.” I hear Aizawa’s dry and tired voice say through the slight crackle of the phone.
“You want me to take on another class of hero students as well as my own while I’m on several cases, I would have thought that you of all people would have been trying to talk Nedzu out of trying to get me to teach after the amount of times that you call me a problem child, after taking another case when I already have 5. Plus, you want me to keep tabs on All Might without wanting to punch his lights out, I thought you knew me better.” I say sass and sarcasm dripping from my words as I roll my eyes and get out of bed deciding that I might as well begin my exercise routine early today.
“I know it is hypocritical of me to ask you to do more work after the amount of times that I have asked you to do the exact opposite, but the bottom line is that you owe me for that time that I saved your life and now I am cashing in that debt. I need your help; the number of criminals being caught on the streets is going down and there are whispers of an attack on UA happening. I don’t want to see any of these kids hurt.” He sounds very serious and sincere.
“Ok, you’ve got a deal, but you owe me for this, I’m going to have to get somebody else to teach some of my classes and take my patrols. Let Nedzu know that I’m coming and to have some accommodation for me, I’ll be there roughly two weeks before the beginning of the school year.” I say sighing at the end while I grab sports pants and a shirt out of the pile of washed clothes that I hadn’t had the time to put away yet.
“Do you want me to tell Nighteye as well? He might want to see you in person if he knows that you're going to be teaching his star intern,” he says, I could almost feel the sarcasm radiating off of him from across an ocean.
“You might as well let him know since you were the one to suggest it.” chuckling as he realises his mistake.
“No, that is on you, problem child, your case, your job to inform him that you're going to be in Japan to teach at UA.” he says seriously with a heavy undertone of exhaustion, probably due to the likelihood that he had just finished a patrol.
“Ok, get some sleep if you can Eraser, it is 4am here so it's 2:30am where you are.” I say a slightly parental tone slipping into my voice coming from many years of teaching.
“I will Jonni, don’t you worry about me, I have Present Mic for that.” he says, an undertone of humour slipping into his voice as he talked.
“So, you two finally stopped pining after each other then, Midnight owes me some money then.” I say chuckling at the memory of my last trip to Japan ending with me and Midnight making a bet on those two before I ‘escaped their custody’ and left the country back to Australia at the end of the case.
“See you in a week, problem child.” I heard Eraser’s unimpressed voice come out of the phone one last time, before hearing the beep that signalled him hanging up on me. ‘Rude’ I thought as I finished getting dressed and left the room, in hunt of Delphi before heading to the training rooms.
