I'm back my little sunflowers! I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to update this week, but alas I was able to. :) Also, I wanted to thank those that favorited and followed my story! ^_^ It truly means a lot! I hope you all enjoy this chapter and don't worry, there will be some Shouta/Camilla moments in the future but as of rn, it'll be slow (not too slow, I don't wanna make you sunflowers suffer). Anyways, here's the 2nd chapter, enjoy!
I do NOT own Boku no Hero Academia, I only own my OC.
Chapter 2
Camilla was nervous about meeting her students, but her nerves were easily replaced with relief once she got through introductions. The students were sweet and welcoming, excited about their new teacher and what plans she had in store for them.
"What I expect from you all is to work hard, don't half-ass things just for the sake of getting it done. Please don't be afraid to ask questions, whether you're unsure of something or need help. Always speak your mind, I would truly love to listen to what you all have to say," Camilla explained.
A student with red hair raised her hand.
Camilla pointed at the girl, "Please remind me of your name, dear, what's your question?"
"Himura Akari, and regarding our training with our quirks, will we be training twice a month or something?" she asked.
Another student spoke up, his dark fringe covering most of his forehead. "Yeah, our last teacher wouldn't really have us practice using our quirks. I know since we're only in general studies it's not as common as the heroic courses, but still, I'd like to train more. Fukui Itsuo, by the way."
Many students agreed with him, adding their own comments on how they'd like to use their quirks more.
"Honestly, I feel the same. You all got into Yuuei for a reason, and even though this isn't the hero course, you all do deserve to train your quirks more. I've spoken with principal Nezu about this and he feels the same. Obviously, we won't be doing quirk activities every day, but I would like to incorporate at least two lessons a week regarding your quirks. I want to do both hero lessons and rescuing lessons, and as we go along it'll become more challenging." Camilla explained.
The students all cheered, happy that they can train more than before. Yes, they were happy that they were in Yuuei, but many of them wanted to join the hero course. They were grateful though that they were getting a better education than from a regular high school, so it wasn't so bad.
Camilla quieted the students down and told them that for just this first week they will focus on regular school work. She knew of their quirks already, but she still wanted more time to create a lesson plan that will benefit them.
The bell for lunch rang and all the students left in a hurry, happy to get some food into their stomachs. There was one student who still lingered after the others left. Once he knew all the kids were gone he made his way over to Camilla.
She didn't look up from collecting everything off her desk as she said, "Got a question, kiddo?"
The boy cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck, "Yeah, I just wanted to know that when we train how long is it going to be?"
Camilla looked up at him and saw that his purple eyes were looking down at the desk.
She smiled softly at him, "Name please,"
"Shinsou Hitoshi,"
"Well, Shinsou, in the beginning I plan on keeping it simple, no more than an hour of training and the exercises won't be so tough. But as we go along I'll extend the time and difficulty of the training,"
Shinsou nodded, this time looking at her.
"Anything else?"
"No, that's all, thanks,"
"Alright, now go and get some food, that way you can be focused when class resumes,"
Shinsou left the classroom without saying a word, and once Camilla had gathered everything she needed she headed out as well.
"So, how has the first half of the school day treated you?" All Might asked.
He and Camilla were in the teachers lounge eating their lunches, Present Mic and Midnight having joined them too.
Camilla took a quick sip of her iced tea and smiled wide at All Might, "It's been great, the students are fantastic and incredibly sweet,"
"Well that's Yuuei for ya, that's why I'm also fantastic and sweet!" Present Mic said.
Midnight scoffed, "Sure, Mic, keep telling yourself that,"
"Say what?!" Present Mic yelled.
Aizawa entered the room at that moment, his tired eyes setting on where the others sat. All Might noticed him first.
"Aizawa, nice of you to join us," he said.
"Well, I wanted to take a nap, but Hizashi kept blowing up my phone to come eat. So, here I am,"
Present Mic glared at Aizawa, "Well excuse me for caring," he pouted.
Aizawa noticed that the only seat left was between Present Mic and the new teacher, so reluctantly he sat himself between them. Present Mic passed him the unopened bento that was on the table, cute little images of cats plastered all over the cloth wrapped around it. Camilla grinned when she noticed it.
"That's so cute, where did you get it?" she asked Aizawa as he loosened the knot.
"I got it for him as a gift!" Present Mic answered.
Aizawa merely nodded and began to eat his food. Camilla remembered that he didn't like to talk much and turned her attention back to the others.
Present Mic and Midnight asked about what Camilla did before coming to Japan.
"I worked at a publishing agency and was a professor at a university,"
Midnight let out a low whistle, "Wow, that sounds like a lot of work, especially reading and writing,"
Camilla let out a small laugh, "It was, but it was manageable. I was only a professor twice a week, and the other days at the publishing agency I was a commissioning editor,"
"Commissioning editor? What's that?" Present Mic asked.
"Basically, I would need to find new books and approve them to the agency to help keep bringing money in," she explained.
"You must have read a shit load of works then," Midnight commented.
Nodding, Camilla said, "Yes I did, and many of them. But it was still amazing to read people's ideas, regardless if the work was good or bad. It was a nice change because everything I read was different, it was incredible to read, to see, what these people envisioned in their minds,"
Aizawa listened intently, although his eyes never left his food.
"It seemed like everything was going well, why'd you decide to come here?" Present Mic inquired.
Good question, Aizawa thought.
Alarm flashed through Camilla's eyes, but it was only for a second as she composed herself. All Might quickly glanced at her, he noticed that she was a little tense. To the others she seemed okay, but since he's known Camilla for years, he was able to tell she was troubled by the question.
"My boss and I at the publishing agency just kept bumping heads. He wanted certain works to be published, and as my job to find and approve new books, it was also my duty to research what types of works were popular at that time. But my boss just wanted to publish works related to war, crime, stuff like that. He was also a very sexist man," Camilla said. The lie was practiced many times the week prior, she almost believed it herself.
Midnight rolled her eyes, "Men like that are the worst, they think that just because they're the boss it all has to be their way,"
"What an arrogant jerk, you did good on leaving, no need to waste your talent there," Present Mic added.
"Why didn't you file a complaint to get him fired?" Aizawa asked as he looked at Camilla.
All Might wanted to hide his face behind his hand. You're always so vigilant, Aizawa, he thought.
"Fired?" Camilla asked.
Aizawa raised an eyebrow, "He was sexist, so you could have gotten him fired," he stated.
Camilla's mind scattered around for an explanation, "Oh, well yeah, of course I went to HR, but even then they didn't do anything. He's a person of power and has been in the publishing agency for years, they weren't going to fire him just because one employee came forward to say that he's sexist. It was all corrupt and I couldn't change anything, so I left. Not long after that All Might called me up about a position that opened here so I decided a change would be good," Wow, that was good, she thought.
She could tell that Aizawa was skeptical of her.
He was still staring at her and Camilla stared back, not wanting him to catch on her lie. He looked at her for another moment and turned away, seeming satisfied with her response.
Wanting to change the subject, All Might asked Midnight about some villains she caught the night before, and they quickly moved on from the previous topic.
Aizawa still didn't truly believe what Camilla said, he could tell that something was off. He noticed how she tensed up even if it was just for a second, and how her light brown eyes slightly widened with the questions. Present Mic and Midnight didn't seem to have noticed because they believed everything she said. And of course they would, she was an old friend of All Might so there was no reason to doubt anything about her. Aizawa knew that All Might wasn't a bad judge of character, and he was friends with the people he chose because they were good. If Camilla was lying he didn't why she would need to, unless if it was something bad or personal. Still, he wanted to know because regardless she was a stranger, and he didn't want his students or anyone else to be in any form of danger. Aizawa noted that he was going to keep an eye on her, to make sure she wasn't up to something.
He didn't notice that he had been staring at her from the corner of his eye until she looked at him. Black eyes met light brown eyes, and they both instantly looked away.
For the rest of lunch Aizawa stayed quiet, Camilla and All Might added comments here and there, while Present Mic and Midnight talked most of the time.
A/N: I hope you all liked this chapter, I know much isn't happening but just so that you guys can get the feel of the type of character Camilla is. :) And hey hey, looks like Camilla is Shinsou's teacher for 1C. *squeals in excitement* Also, since there isn't much info on class 1C I made up the names for those characters. Horikoshi needs to give us more deets on the other students and classes. & I wasn't sure if the general studies students have a different teacher for every subject like 1A & 1B, so I'm just going to have Camilla be their teacher for majority of the subjects except for like, maybe 2 subjects or something. I know the teachers also have at least one period free so that they can grade or plan a lesson, and I just wanted to add this now before I forget. Since xmas is just a few days away I might not have a chance to update but if I can I will. :) Anyways, pls don't forget to favorite, follow, and review! Also, HAPPY HOLIDAYS & stay safe! ^_^
