CH1 Fresh Start!
It all ended in a flash! All at once, everything I knew was destroyed. So now, I stand here, in front of Japan's most well established hero training school. The wind picks up as I cross from the archway onto the school's property. All I can do now is work on strengthening my quirk, so someday, I may face you again.. I promise, with everything I have to give.. I WILL KILL YOU!
As I walk up to the school's main building, I see students. They all seem so happy. So safe and secure. They don't know what evil lurks outside these walls. They haven't seen what I have. They will never be true heroes. But that's fine, I'll show them what a hero looks like. I'll do what I must to avenge those who were slain by that murderer. I continue to walk towards the the office to complete my registration. Observing my surroundings, I note how many possible exits there are. How many students I see pass me. Everything I need to know to make sure I'm ready to be on the offensive at a moments notice. I walk into the administration office, the seemingly normal looking secretary greets me. "I'm a transfer student from UTA West, and I have an appointment with Principal Nezu." I inform her. She gestures for me to sit. I stride over to some chairs and sit. I take another moment to observe the room. '' So, there's only one exit as far as I can tell from this room. '' I sigh. The door opens and a bear like creature steps out, along with a large brooding man with silver hair and protruding lower canines. "Ah! Perfect. Right on time Ms. Imagi!" The bear says. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Principal Nezu, but you can just call me Mr. Principal." Nezu adds. "And this scary guy isn't really that scary, he's your new homeroom teacher. Sekijiro Kan." he gestures to the tall beefy man next to him. "Good afternoon Ms. Imagi. I'm your homeroom teacher Mr. Kan. When you have finished with Principal Nezu, you can report to room 1-B for class. Please excuse me now." He finishes with a slight bow and ducks out of the room. "Now please step into my office." Nezu motions to a seat before a large desk. We enter and sit across each other. We speak briefly about my transfer from UTA West and how I can always ask if I need anything while I get used to being the first mid semester foreign transfer student at UA. "We have just about everything on campus, and we have some of the finest Pro Heroes teaching here. So there's no need to fret about security." He nods, noting I'm surveying the school grounds from the large window behind him. "That's what they all say…" I huff. Principal Nezu can tell I just don't trust his words at face value. "Well in due time you'll see just why we are the best hero training academy in Japan." He chirps. Smiling like he knows he will prove me wrong. I bow and exit the administration office.
'' There is no way this place is safer than UTA West was. '' I sigh heavily and begin walking towards class 1-B. I knock then open the classroom door. Mr. Kan looks over and gestures me to come to the front. "Now class, this is our new transfer student. Her name is Imagi, Yume. She is American and adjusting to life here in Japan. Please greet her with all the best we have here at UA." The class is in a tizzy. Eyeing me like a prize pig at the fair. I just glare back. "Nice to meet you." I bow lightly. "My name is Imagi, Yume. I'm from California in America and I'm here to kill a murderous villain." I look dead forward with a straight face as my lips release the words I've said to myself since I arrived. The entire class is silent. Some students just give clueless looks back. Others smirk, thinking I'm some entitled American with a big ego. A small few can tell I'm dead serious. A girl stands up from her seat, she seems very rigid. "Great to meet you Imagi-san. My name is Kendo, Itsuka. I'm your class rep and would like to give you your first welcome to our school." She's so straight faced. "There is an open seat right next to me and Monoma-san." I look Monoma in the eyes. He seems unfazed by everything. I shift and walk to my seat. Monoma follows me with his eyes until I'm seated. "So, you want to kill a villain huh? How are you gonna do that pre-tell? Hm? Are you gonna stare them to death?" A large hand flew into view. "Monoma-san, will you please not harass Imagi-san?" Kendo griped. "So, what's your quirk Imagi-san? I'm super curious since you're the only transfer I've ever met. Aside from Tsunotori-san." Kendo queried. "No comment." I said flatly. "Aw really?" Kendo sighed. "I heard you had to transfer because your entire class perished." Monoma spat. Another large fist flew into view. "MONOMA!" Kendo nearly screamed. I shot him the most venomous look he'd seen in his life. He froze for a second. I shot up proclaiming. "I need to use the restroom." Bolting from my seat, I ran to the nearest bathroom.
Flinging the door closed I held back the fiery tears as I slid to the floor. The floor was welcomingly cold. It was the calm before the storm, before I could think. Eyes welled in a panic at the memories that surged in my mind. ''AAAHHHHHHH! '' ''NOOOOO! '' ''HELP M-... '' "No. Please stop. I can't take it!" I blubbered. White hot tears flowed down my cheeks. The door burst open. "Imagi-san?! Are you in here?" It was Kendo. ''Shit.. I can't let ANYONE see me like this. '' I cowered in the stall, praying Kendo would just leave. She must have known where to look as she came closer to the stall and knocked. "Look Imagi-san, I'm not sure what happened or if you even want to talk about it. But whatever you need, please know I'm here for you." She turned, about to leave as I came from my hiding spot. "Kendo…. I'm sorry." My head lowered like a sad puppy. She looked at me, about ready to cry herself at the sight of me. Tilting my head back up, I could see the concern and worry on her face. She was softer, more caring. It was like she was a mother trying to comfort her child. I felt so at ease, like i could tell her anything and everything. I opened my mouth to speak, but felt it would diminish my chances of completing my goal if i told anyone. "It's ok. Whatever it is can wait till you're ready. Until then, please allow me to be your friend." Kendo calmed me. "Ok.. T-thank you Kendo-san." I emerge from the stall. My face soaked, my eyes pink from holding back more tears. Kendo pulled out a tissue and blotted my face. "I apologize for Monoma-san. He's very… Um." Kendo stammered. "Much an asshole?" I finish. Kendo stared at me blinking several times. ''Oh yeah… They aren't as forward about that kinda stuff here in Japan.. '' I thought, seeing I made myself look stupid. "Well to put it bluntly… Yes.. He is." Kendo confessed. "He's just always been a troublemaker. Ever since we met he's always egging people on and pushing too many buttons…" Kendo added. It seemed she would have to keep him from causing trouble quite often. "Well I'm sorry you feel you have to keep him in check." I groan. "Eh it's ok. Somebody has to." She giggled. Her smile was so reassuring. She seemed like she would be a great and strong ally. So I finally decided to start looking for other students like Kendo to help me achieve my goal. My goal to kill the bastard villain who tore me from my home.
