"Talking"
Hanataro's Thoughts
Chapter 1: First day of School
"Go Beyond! Plus Ultra!"
That is the motto of U.A. High School.
The number one hero school in Japan and the goal for the hundreds of thousands of students who wanted to go into superheroics. It is said that only one in one hundred applicants get accepted into the top ranking school. The number rises to one in three hundred for those who applied to the hero course.
Standing outside the large gates of UA High school was one such lucky student, Hanataro Kino. Hanataro or Taro as the teen preferred to be called took a deep breath as they lifted their right foot preparing them self mentally to take the first step passed the imposing gates.
To the impartial observer Hanataro Kino looked like a normal teenage girl, five foot four, a slim build, with hip length sandy brown hair and large gold eyes with a small nose and full lip and no extra limbs. Just a first year student walking into school for the first day of the new semester.
In truth this was actually Hanataro second go at being a high school student as well as Taro's second go at life.
The teenage girl was actually the second life of a reincarnated soul. One that had been reborn with his previous memory intact and one that had come from a place where things like quirks and superheroes were merely fantasies.
Sixteen years ago Taro or rather Adrian Cook as he was called in his previously life never thought that in saving a rabbits life he would lose his own and granted a new one as a teenage Japanese girl with superpowers in a fictional universe, attending a school where the majority of students had power or rather quirks as it was known in this reality, yet there he stood uniform and all.
Having spent the last fifteen years living as the girl Hanataro Kino, Taro while having accepted his new biological gender still couldn't help but refer to himself with male pronouns. Though his new parents had found it odd at first they simply chalked it up to their daughter being a girly tomboy.
It may not be Xavier's school for the gifted but this time I'm going to do high school right! No swirly, wedgies, getting stuffed into locker or having slushies thrown in my face this time. This time I'll actually have friends and, and, and be one of the cool kids!
"I can do this. I am a dude. I am a hunky dude! I'm a badass hunky dude!" Hanataro practically shouted while doing a fist pump.
"Quit blocking the way and move it!"
Jumping slightly out of surprise, Taro moved out of the way to find a scowling student with ash blond, spiky hair and red eyes walked pass and head toward the school doors.
Rude! Who does he think he is? Wait a minute….
That's the guy who destroyed all those robots in the entrance exams. He probably got into the hero department.
As much as Hanataro wanted to give the rude boy a piece of his mind he thought it best to keep quiet and avoid getting on the guy's radar after recalling the fire power he had displayed in the practical exam.
"I'm so glad I went into the Department of Management instead," Taro voiced as he climbed the entrance steps after the blond boy had gone inside.

"Let's see J….J…..No that's I…. Here it is class 1-J."
Walking pass the large doorway into a large classroom several pairs of eyes landed on Taro as some of the students quieted down before returning to their own conversations. Much to his surprise most if not all of his classmates had arrived before him going by the lack of empty desks.
Boy, the kids in the management course aren't fooling around.
Glancing at the clock on the wall there was at least ten minutes before the final bell. It seemed to be his luck that no matter what happened on the way to school or how late he was running he always managed to make it to school just before the final bell.
This time though he supposed he could thank his mother and her impromptu wake-up call, going as far as giving him a ring on his cell phone a second time to make sure Taro didn't hit the snooze button. Reminding him he had to be more responsible now that he was a high school student before adding in a quick mention of having bought new undergarments for her little girl.
Man, puberty sucks regardless if you're a boy a girl.
Hanataro took a quick visual sweep of the room; finally his eyes spotted an unclaimed desk.
"Hey," he said greeting the student sitting in the desk to his left as he sat down.
The boy barely glanced in Taro's direction simply giving him a nod before turning away and going back to his phone with his bored expression.
"Don't mind him, Kato not very social," a voice behind them said. Turning around Hanataro found himself facing a taller, slightly chubby girl with a horse head who held out her hand to greet him. "Hi there neighbor, I'm Sakura Furukawa. You can call me Sakura, What's your name?"
Taking the extended hand and giving it a weak shake he introduced himself, "I'm Hanataro Kino, but everyone just calls me Taro."
"Taro is so uncute, wouldn't you rather be called something cuter like Hana-chan? Hana-chan, Do you have a quirk? How come you're the last one here? How excited are you to be here? I know I couldn't believe it when my acceptance letter came in, not everyone can get into UA you know. Why did you apply for the department of Management? I want to join Best Jeanist's Office, you know he's the most fashionable hero. Have you met our other classmate? There are about twenty students in our class, so I can tell you who everyone is and even their quirks. Today their doing orientation, what do you think they'll talk about, I hope we get-."
I'm starting to think it's not that Kato doesn't talk much he just couldn't get a word in with this girl's gabbing.
Although Sakura was talking a mile a minute, Hanataro thought the horse girl seemed nice enough. Though admittedly he had been slightly caught off guard by someone he just met asking him so many questions.
"Hana-chan? Hello?" Sakura called out after thirty seconds of silence from Taro who had a glazed look in his eyes.
"Huh? Oh sorry, I didn't catch that last part," he admitted trying hard to not cringe at the name his chatty class mate had settled on for him.
"I was asking if you had a quirk? We have two students in our class who are quirkless, Sakumo and Manzo-Kun," she pointed out giving the boys a quick wave. "They must be super smart to get into UA."
U.A. had removed the quirk requirement, though in the management department it wasn't really a big issue since most classes didn't call for use of a quirk. Despite the change to the school rules there was still a stigma attached to the students who were qurikless
The concept of quirks wasn't something Taro had come to accept until a couple years after being reborn. To his surprise he had actually been granted one by the higher power that reincarnated him.
Taro's quirk was probability manipulation or as he preferred to tell it: "I do have a quirk, I'm really lucky."
"That is so true you are lucky to have a quirk, though not all quirks are on the same level," the horse girl said misunderstanding Taro.
Sakura began pointing out the other classmates one by one to Taro seemingly having already introduced herself to the rest of the class as soon as she got to school and gotten the lowdown on their classmates..
"There's Kaemon, he can manipulate bananas. Next to him is Honda he can stretch his skin and the boy he's talking to is Tori, he has two appendixes. Though is you ask me he might as well be quirkless," Sakura added whispering the last part.
Continuing the horse-girl waved to another girl who was sitting down with an open book and her hand skimming the pages, "That's Tami she's blind."
"If she's blind than why are you waving to her?" Taro asked.
"Oops guess I forgot that she wouldn't wave back," Sakura said laughing at her own faux pas. "In any case her quirk is apparently being good at digging holes."
Behind Tami another group was gather in an animated discussion going by the arm gestures. Sakura named the students to Taro, pointing out each one. "Over there, the one talking is Hisagi, he can hold his breath for over thirty minutes. He's with Roka, he quirk is turning to stone. Kameko can move dairy products with her mind and Yuri, he's the one with green skin, his quirk is photosynthesis."
As they were going through their introductions a boy approached the two and leaned against Taro's desk. "Hey there pretty lady, where are you from? Heaven?"
"Yeah, I'm a ghost. I died fifteen years ago like that pick-up line," Taro answered causing the boy to walk away with his head hanging in disappointment as Sakura laughed aloud.
"That was good one Hana-chan. Though it doesn't look like Yuval-kun gonna give up anytime soon. Poor Ema-chan and Mursaki," Sakura continued name dropping as they watch the boy, whose quirk gave him eyeball on each palm approached the girl who could read the thoughts of Fish and the girl who could sweat excessively.
"Let's see who else we got, there's Ryosuke he can turn slippery like an eel and there's Dai, he can twist his arm one-hundred eighty degrees."
As the first bell rang signaling that their class would be starting soon, the girl with the horse head quirk finished up her intro to Taro pointing a girl and a boy at the front of the room. "Last but not least are Nara, she can change the air temperature around her by two degrees and the boy she's flirting with is Hizaiya, he can change the color of anything and to be honest he and Kato are the best prospects in this class." Sakura mentioned with a blush.
"Well that was certainly informative, thanks for that Furu- I mean mean Sakura-san," Taro quickly corrected noticing the way the girl's face was ready to contort angrily before she gave Taro a big smile.
As the second bell rang, everyone settled down in time for an older man to walk into the classroom. All twenty pairs of eyes remained on the unkempt, bohemian-looking newcomer with his frock coat, fedora, and extremely long, multi-colored scarf.
Who does this guy think he is? The Doctor?
The old man was their homeroom and U.A. High's Hero Law teacher, Kaname Omura, a former manager for one of Japan's mst active hero agency and sidekick known as Computer Whiz who had a quirk that allowed him to communicate with computers and other electronics.
Over the three years of high school students in the Hero Management department would be taking classes that focused on all aspects of heroic business, from founding and managing hero agencies to executive producing heroes. Additionally the management track included mire traditional business classes like Business ethics, business law, accounting, marketing and even entrepreneurship.
"Guten Morgen Class, I hobe you are all ready to pegin ein new zemesder," their teacher greeted in a thick German accent. Mein name is Kaname Omura und I vill be your homeroom teacher zis year."
After passing out a class syllabus and having everyone stand up and introduce themselves, Mr. Omura gave the class a rundown of what was the itinerary for the rest of the first day. "Now zen class in ein few minudes ve vill ko to zee obening ceremony vere Principle Nezu vill giffe ein few opening remarks. Arh ! I exbect efferyone to be on zeir best behaffior."

Given the grand scale of UA High school it was no surprise the large size of the school auditorium. Most of the seats were filled with the students of the various departments, though there were a number of empty spaces.
At the center stage the principle was present with several of the school's staff and teachers lined up behind.
"Welcome Students to a new year at UA High," Greeted Principal Nezu, a large rodent who was head of U.A. High School.
"I see we have some new faces and some returning ones. I would like to begin with a few words and talk about what we expect from…"
Hanataro couldn't help but tune out the principle's opening remarks.
I wonder if the principle is this long winded in the manga? I really wish I could have gotten the chance to at least read one chapter of the story.
Damn you Man on the Moon….
