Izuku's POV

I stared at the computer, my mouth hanging open and my eyes wide, for the second time this holiday. I was stunned, absolutely baffled and stunned, this was unbelievable, what in the world was going on. 'What was going on with my life?!' I thought. I didn't even know how to reply to the email. I just stared at it. I then blinked and shook my head back into reality, 'don't waste time, get this over and done with, you don't have enough time to get surprised over every little thing' I thought, lightly scolding myself. Oh! What happened? Well it went something like this....

I was spending like 15 hours a day on the computer, doing hacking and improving my skills and teaching myself new ones. I need to be able to get better. I had more work to do and places to be, it would be a problem if I'm stuck on the first stage. Was it bad that I was getting about 2 hours of sleep, yes, yes it was, worst was that after the goose chase incident Mr Aizawa's taken to checking in on me. So now Luna guards and tells me when he's coming so I can feint sleep before he walked into my room. 'Honestly I couldn't even complain seeing what I did!' I mentally grumbled. Anyway all I wanted to do was find out how well my skills have gotten. I didn't do anything too illegal! I swear!. I was just watching the news like anyone would when a hero agency name caught my eye. It was showing a report on a villain that they were trying to catch, but we're having difficulties with. The announcement lasted about 5 seconds, but it was enough for me to think up of an idea.

I got out my computer and did a quick search on the internet for the villain, not much info came up. I then proceeded to try to hack into some security cameras and watch the fight between the said villain and Bubble girl. Did I pick up on many types of things that would have led them to win? Yes, yes I did, so that's how it led to the genius but crazy idea of sending them an email about the fight and an analysis of the villains' quirk and movements. See! I didn't do anything too illegal!

Anyway I thought it would be suspicious if I was able to send it to their work email. So I sent it to their fan email. And because I knew that most of those get deleted, 'believe me I've tried before, I've only got a reply once from the million emails I sent to the hero's' I thought mentally crying. Anyway I sent a carefully written 5 page analysis of the villains quirk and movements. Then I added an extra page with the mage suggestions and techniques I thought would work best. And when I sent the email in I might have also done some light codding, so the email showed in a different color to the rest, a dark purple color, that I wouldn't be deleted when trying to do a group delete and that it showed an infinity symbol where the box to tick the email would have been, 'why an infinity symbol? Honestly, no idea'. All in all I just did all the precautions to ensure that it would at least be noticed when going through the email. I was hoping they would notice quickly seeing that Nighteye's agency doesn't have many fans. But I wasn't expecting much, it probably wouldn't even be seen, the villain doesn't look that hard to beat, 'they'll probably just catch him soon' I had thought.

And I was right, after about 2 days when eating lunch I noticed the clip where the villain was getting handcuffed and brought into a police car. I hadn't thought much of it. But I am sure thing much of it now. Because right now I was starting at a email from the agency thanking and complimenting my work. I was quite happily with that honestly. But it was the second part that made my eyes widen and my jaw drop open. Because the rest of the email was saying it great to have a new analyst around, and asking what was my analysis name, a check of $500 and asking what my official price was, and a warning of them informing other hero's of my existence. So yes I was looking at the page staring at it shell shocked.

'$500!?!? Who gets paid that much?!?!! I swear isn't the minimum wage like $15 per hour? I worked on the paper for 3 hours max!' thought, my head was swearing. 'how much does an analysis cost!?' I thought. After some research I found out that they do get paid about $800 every mission they help out with. I was going to flat out refuse the money, but I stopped, honestly I was thinking of getting an online job to earn some money. I would have needed it for later. And I didn't know how long I would need to work to earn the same amount of money. So snapping out of my trance, I quickly type up a message saying that I'll be selling my analysis for $100, which to be honest still seems like an overkill, 'like $100 for an hour of work?!'

I sighed, "well I guess that one thing to cross off my list" I said looking down to Luna, who had been sitting on my lap the entire time laughing at my reaction. Getting out of the message my breath hitched, I had 3 more emails, all from agencies ranked 135, 97, and 223. I gaped at all the emails, finally remembering to breathe, each was from their official hero email and contained a request of a quirk analysis of someone they were trying to catch or stop and a few videos of their fight.

I smiled, "ok time to get to work!" I said stretching and cracking my knuckles. Luna just settled in for a long day of not doing much.

~3 hours later~

'... Yours forever,' I thought as I finished typing my worded signature. I was honestly trying to sound more 'girly' to lead them away from me, that's why the ending might sound a bit cheesy, but I also thought it went well with my sign signature.

'I finished' I thought as slumped into my chair. I only did three analysis, double triple encrypted my computer and emails and did an extra cover using Brava's help. Now any money that I earn from my side job will transfer into a bank account that Brava and Gental are holding on to, I also made a system where I will not be sending the messages but I'll be sending them to Brava and she'll send them to the hero agencies using my signature (the image on the top). I also got a email back from Bubble girl saying that my prices are too low, when I insisted that it was fine she hesitantly agreed, but she also said that she's paying me $1000 for the one I already did that from now on she'll pay $100 for each. When I complained she just said that take it as a prepay and make sure to keep her analysis as priority.

I still didn't agree but I failed at returning the money, 'so now I'm $1000 richer....' I thought sweatdropping (AN: honestly wouldn't complain if I were you...😑).

"OK that's enough! Come on Luna, we're going for a walk! Then you can help me with training!" I said getting up and stretching out my muscles, I could hear my spine crack. Luna jumped up from the bed she had migrated to. And ran to the door. "Sorry girl, I've been keeping you locked up all day haven't I?" I said walking and opening the door. I grabbed a quick lunch for me and Luna before heading out.

(AN: this was a smaller chap. And now our bunny is RICH! I might be rambling but I do have a plan for this book, idk when I'll get to it but these details are kinda important for later! Anyway, hope you enjoy! Thanks for reading!)
