The day started normally. It was a Monday morning, as Echizen headed his way towards school. On the route to school, he met Momoshiro, who was on his bike. Momoshiro decided to let Echizen pitch a ride, and both made their way to school safely.
Since there was no morning tennis practice, the two went their separate ways. When Echizen arrived to his classroom, he saw a strange sight.
His class had a vacant seat for three months, and that seat was next to Echizen's. However, this morning showed that the seat wasn't vacant anymore. A boy with blonde hair sat on that specific seat, as he was reading a book, and charging his phone in an uncanny way.
He was biting on one end of his charging cable.
Everyone else stayed at a considerable distance from him, probably because they wanted to warn him the dangers of biting onto a charging cable, but also fascinated by how his phone was actually charging. It might be his quirk, most thought.
Echizen dismissed this boy's existence and sat on his seat. That was when he got a tap on his shoulder.
"Echizen, who's this boy?" The person next to him asked, who turned out to be Horio. Echizen shook his head.
No one really knew what was going on with this boy, or they knew what his name was. Echizen also took notice of the black tennis racket the boy had with him.
For some reason, he felt threatened. Hopefully, this boy would not talk to me, Echizen thought.
"I heard that you're really good at tennis."
Speak of the devil.
Echizen averted his sight to this boy, who was still charging his phone and his eyes focused on his book.
"Hmm," Echizen replied, not knowing what to say.
"Sounds like you don't care much about your reputation, huh," the boy said.
"It can get annoying," Echizen sighed, thinking of the fangirls he had seen.
"I understand, But isn't it great that people know that you're strong?" The boy asked.
"When you have a destructive quirk, you can hurt people easily. As someone quirkless like you, yet still be so good, you really should appericate this reputation of yours."
Echizen did not answer him, but what he said was pretty true. A destructive quirk could cause some major casualties.
He found this boy to be quite an interesting individual.
When the homeroom teacher came to take the attendance, everyone in the class knew the name of the new boy.
His name is Kaminari Denki.
