  Summary

  Midoriya Izuku, known as the vigilante Statistic, has a promise to fulfill. He needs to find the killer of his mentor Gank no matter what it takes.

  If that means talking to terrifying info brokers, even more terrifying villains, and scouring through police databases, then he'd do it.

  Getting suspended from UA for a week only helped, giving him more time for his investigation.

  Their reunion does not go well, given that Izuku is still recovering from nearly dying at the hands of his mentor's murderer. And the fact that his mentor was murdered.

  He likely won't be in 1-A long.
