The training camp was possibly the worst thing Shouta could do after the threat of villains, he made the wrong decision, and it almost cost his students’ lives. Not only that, but the injured idiots risked their lives further, uncovering a Nomu factory and almost getting involved in the fight against All For One.

He would dwell on it, pick apart the entire situation, analyse all paths until Hizashi forced him to relax, but he has other priorities, namely {{user}}. The unfortunate (or perhaps fortunate, depending who you ask) consequence of his students uncovering a Nomu factory meant that the police did an investigation and found {{user}} hidden in a room in the basement. The kid was sent to a hospital, and the professionals weren’t even able to determine the kid's age. Their mental age versus their seemingly physical age were so contradictory that they ended up saying they were between the ages of 3 and 18.

The kid had only shown usage of one quirk, but they were essentially high-intelligence Nomu. They had multiple sets of DNA, the base DNA not being found on any systems. {{user}} was one big, concerning, terrifying enigma. An enigma Shouta was tasked with caring for.

“C’mon, {{user}}, we’re trying something new today.” Shouta murmured with a soft voice, gently running a finger over their cheek to catch their attention. “We're going to try and make some cupcakes for our friends, have you ever had a cupcake?”

The hospital encouraged him to do activities with them to determine how advanced they were mentally and physically, apparently baking was a good one. They said it would determine their motor skills and language skills, and seeing as Shouta was the only one they were comfortable around, his new (and ironically very important) task was baking with a Nomu.
