AN: I SURVIVE! WHOO. THIS ILLNESS OF MINE REALLY TOOK AWAY MY STRENGTH, BUT I'M FEELING A BETTER NOW. A LITTLE BIT. HERE IS THE 3RD CHAPTER OF UNACCOUNTED VARIABLES.
YOU GUYS REALLY LIKE THIS HUH?
[BETA: TheToonyBoi]
To say that Intelli was surprised was an understatement.
She was overwhelmed!
Seiai Academy was an all female academy
And what does an academy of girls do in their spare time?
Gossip and train.
And if the subject of that gossip was about the ex-tyrant changing her ways, especially if the reason for that change was a boy… well the outcome was obvious wasn't it?
"How did things end up this way…" Intelli sulked.
She told only a couple of her closest friends. So how did half of the entire student body know?
Her pink-haired friend bowed in apology. "My apologies Sai, I only told one person, but the information spread like wildfire and everything is being blown out of proportion."
The gossip she was overhearing was completely outrageous. A little bit of information goes out and radical assumptions were already concluded as truths?
'Unbelievable…'
It was nighttime in the dormitory of Seiai Academy which was dubbed Divine League. In the common room were almost all of the second years gathered in a meeting in a large dining table.
The focus being on Saiko Intelli.
"Where did you meet him?"
"What did he say?"
"Is it true that it was that green haired boy from the UA Sports Festival?"
"Do you want to meet him again?"
"Talk to us girl!"
"Spill it!"
"This is an intervention!"
Such were the questions and demands she had to endure.
"Is it true that you took him to a love hotel afterwar-"
"Where did you hear that nonsense?!" Intelli slammed her hands upon the table and stood up, face flushed.
Only to see the smirking face of her classmate.
"Oh she can talk~" Her classmate teased. "Relax Intelli, I'm only teasing you." Her eyes gained a gleam. "Unless… you actually di-"
"No!" Intelli shot down. "No we did not! The first time we met was in the exam, we have not met again yet."
"You said yet." Another classmate of hers pointed out. "You do want to meet him after all.
"Just tell us about him!"
"Tell us then we'll never mention it again."
Intelli raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
The girl snorted. "In your dreams."
Intelli sighed.
'Should've known.
"Come on girl, we want to know how this boy changed your whole attitude and stuff."
Intelli contemplated.
'It's not really a secret. And it's just to get them off my back, definitely not because I want to tell the story.'
...
'Of course not.'
Intelli sat down. "Fine, I'll tell you, but you better listen up. I won't repeat it."
At once, all of the girls sat down and shut their mouths.
Intelli sweatdropped at the sudden change in attitude.
'Give me a break.'
'Give me a break.'
Midoriya Izuku was currently having a situation, one that revolved entirely around him. This situation was cause for every boy in Heights Alliance to get together and discuss.
Absolutely no females allowed.
In the common room was every boy in the dorm huddled in a circle to discuss a little rumor that has been spreading around about the resident cinnamon roll and his new 'girlfriend'.
"Midoriya, is it true?" Sero asked him.
Midoriya was terrified, but managed to keep his composure and answer.
"Is what true, Sero-kun?"
"Don't play dumb Midoriya." Sato told him. "Rumor has it that you hooked up with a girl from another school during the License Exam."
Midoriya froze.
"Where did you hear that?" Midoriya cautiously asked them.
Kirishima shook his head. "Doesn't matter. Is it true?"
Midoriya denied. "I did help out someone after the exam, right after the first test. But to say that we hooked up couldn't be any farther from the truth." He explained. "I just cheered her up, that's all."
The guys seemed to understand.
"Yeah, seems like something you'd do." Todoroki commented.
"Why'd she kiss you then?" Mineta asked, genuinely curious.
All except for maybe one or two of them.
Midoriya's face flushed. "I-Its wasn't a real kiss, I-It was only on the cheek!"
His eyes widened.
'Oh no…'
All of the guys stared at him with wide eyes that were filled with bewilderment, sans Mineta or Kaminari.
'I am filled with regret…"
"What the fuck, Deku?" Bakugo said, jaw dropped. "Are you shitting me right now?"
"N-Nothing happened Kacchan!" Midoriya tried to reason. "I just talked to her that's all!"
"You don't just talk to somebody and get a kiss you know! Even if it was on the cheek!" Kaminari told him. "Remind me where was she from again?!"
"S-S-Seiai Academy! Shoji-kun met her. Intelli Saiko." Midoriya gestured to the multiple armed boy.
Shoji raised an eyebrow. "I did?"
Midoriya nodded. "Yeah, she said she and her classmates fought you in the License Exam." He said. "Baby blue hair, drinks a lot of tea, Seiai Academy?"
Shoji's eyes widened. "You mean her?"
Tokoyami nodded. "Midoriya, if you would please elaborate, then maybe we would understand."
"Oui." Aoyama said.
Midoriya sighed.
I really don't want to do this...
"Okay, I'll tell you all what happened." Midoriya declared.
And in an instant, they were all closely surrounding him. Eyes eager with anticipation for his story.
"It began when I spotted her sitting alone on a bench..."
"He approached me when I was sitting alone on a bench." Intelli started. "I was still upset and remorseful after my mistake caused our defeat, sulking and thinking. When he suddenly walked up to me."
"Was he suave?"
"Suave?" Intelli chuckled. "No, it couldn't have been further than that." She told them. "He was plain looking, but he peaked my interest."
"How so?"
"He was so concerned for a complete stranger, it caught me off guard and well..." Intelli said. "I guess his genuine nature made me cave in." Intelli looked up fondly in remembrance.
The other girls smirked at her expression, she was clearly smitten with this boy.
"He walked up to me and offered me a canned beverage." Intelli said as she recalled the memory. "I don't like canned beverages, but at that time I would have accepted anything."
"Wow, not like you to accept anything so easily, Intelli." A girl called out.
"Exactly" She flicked a couple strands of her hair out of her face. "We were both stubborn. He kept pushing me to talk to someone as he saw distraught I looked, it didn't even need to be him. I kept telling him off, saying that I didn't want or need his pity." She said. "Or so I thought."
A girl raised her hand. Intelli nodded towards her.
"Yes?"
"How did he convince you?"
Intelli chuckled. "I was getting to that. I told him that I didn't ask for his help, he knew and acknowledge it. But then he said something…:" She elaborated. "I was tempted to just leave the bench. But then his words made me reconsider."
All the girls listened in, some even took out notepads. Intelli giggled at her classmates' antics.
"But, isn't meddling when you don't need to the essence of being a hero?"
The monocle-wearing girl had a fond faraway look at her eyes. The rest of her classmates coo-ed and squealed at the very thought. It was almost like a fairytale
Intelli dreamily sighed.
'Such an inspiring line.'
"That's so cheesy!" Sero managed to get out in his laughing fit.
Midoriya covered his increasingly red.
Kirishima chuckled. "Still though, to pull that line without stuttering, that's gotta take some guts!"
"T-Thanks, Kirishima-kun."
Iida nodded. "Words to live by, especially in our line of work." He remarked. 'It's also what he said to the Hero Killer back in Hosu.' Iida recalled the memory.
"Did she loosen up then?" Sato asked him.
Midoriya contemplated. "I think she was still confused on what to do." He said. "But the way she looked was so heartbroken, it made me want to help even if she didn't think she needed it." Midoriya told them. "She may not have passed the exam, but there is always another opportunity. Study upon the mistakes you made and use it."
Todoroki nodded, while Bakugo scoffed and turned away.
Kaminari snickered. "Oh come on guys, there's always next time."
Mineta stood up. "But the hierarchy! The hierarchy is-!"
Bakugo exploded. "Shut up you shitty grape!"
"Is it just me or does Bakugo actually want to hear the story?" Shoji noticed.
"I just want to know how fucking Deku of all people got a girl's attention!" Bakugo explained.
"It must be infuriating for you that Midoriya already has the interest of a girl." Tokoyami commented. "You know, If you fixed your explosive personality more, the-"
"YOU GOT A PROBLEM BIRD BRAI-"
"Quiet." Iida cut him off. "The ladies are asleep, we don't want to wake them up."
Aoyama nodded. "Oui, I doubt that they'd take missing in on this lightly." He said. "But they don't have to find out."
Kirishima's eyes widened. "Ah! So it's like a guys only thing huh."
Tokoyami sighed. "Did you really just notice that?"
Midoriya laughed.
Kaminari shook Midoriya. "Come on you smooth bastard! What happened next?"
Midoriya calmed down after being shook by Kaminari so hard. "A-Alright! Alright!"
"Well, I was just about to leave..." The green haired started.
"But then she suddenly grabbed my hand-"
"-to prevent him from leaving."
Intelli scratched her forehead. "At the time, I guess I was desperate for any kind of solace."
A classmate of hers clicked her tongue. "Ah is this the start of the meltdown?"
"Hush, you prude." Another classmate of hers hissed.
"We're getting to the good part!"
Intelli's eyes were wide with bewilderment. "You girls really want to know, huh?"
"Of course we do!"
"Heck yeah!"
"We're girls, it's what we do."
The baby-blue haired girl giggled. "Hmph, fine then. I shall deliver this last and best segment at the utmost quality I possibly can!" Intelli declared with an aura of haughtiness.
All the girls in the vicinity chuckled. And Intelli laughed along with them.
See, moments like these would probably never have happened if it weren't for a certain boy. All of them wanted to know how the high and mighty Saiko Intelli was finally lured down to Earth to be with her people.
How a few words can drastically change someone, for better or for worse.
"Well… I don't know exactly how to put it…" Intelli started. "But he made me feel lighter, took off the weight of my worries. He made me realize that despite my failure, you all would understand."
Most of her classmates raised an eyebrow. "Us?"
Intelli wiped a tear that was threatening to escape. "I was afraid you all would blame me for our loss." She admitted. "I realized I was too overconfident and demanding the moment those UA students outwitted me. Me! Supposedly the smartest girl in class. I was too narrow-minded, I cost us the battle..."
She clenched her fist. "That's why I-!"
One of her classmates interrupted her with a firm hug.
"Damn it Intelli! We already told you that we forgave you. We want to hear about the boy, not about your failures." The girl exclaimed.
Intelli returned the hug. "T-Thanks."
The girl broke the embrace and gave a soft smile. "You're welcome."
"Really, thank you."
"I already said you're welcome. Now get on with it." The girl sat back down. "The suspense is killing me!"
Intelli chuckled. "As you wish. Now, where was I… Oh yes!" She snapped her fingers. "He reassured me, told me that it was okay to be selfish sometimes, to not worry about the things that I could have done and instead makeup for those mistakes." She paused again, in deep thought.
"He told me it was okay to live to fight another day.." She gave a soft smile.
After a few seconds she gestured to all of the other girls as she continued. "And that's when I realized that I had to apologize to you all. I was being well… frankly I was being an ass. And I wanted to become stronger with all of you, together." She gave a strong smile as she concluded.
"He gave me the drive to become a better leader, a better hero."
Her classmates looked at her in awe.
"Wow…"
"That's… wow. That was so inspiring."
"Damn, that boy seems wise for a first year."
"I'd love to meet him."
"Yeah! Me too!
Intelli chuckled. "Not before I meet him again you don't."
Her pink-haired friend snapped her fingers in remembrance. "Oh that's right, Sai kissed that Midoriya boy didn't he?" She said, smirking as she continued in a teasing tone. "Could it be that Sai is in loooooove?"?"
All of her classmates' eyes widened.
Intelli tried to calm the impending storm.
"I-I can explai-"
But it was too late.
"YOU DID WHAT?!"
Intelli sighed.
'Give me a break.'
"I'm happy I cheered her up."
Midoriya told them as he was just finished telling them about his little stunt.
Shoji nodded. "Perhaps we'll see a better side of her in the future."
"I agree." Tokoyami remarked. "Midoriya's words seemed to have left quite an impact on her."
Kaminari nodded. "If I didn't know better I'd say Midoriya has the heart of a Harem Anime protagonist."
Mineta snickered. "More like a dating sim."
Iida clasped Midoriya's hand. "I think what you did was remarkable. Truly worthy of someone with the upcoming title of hero."
"Helping with words alone huh?" Todoroki raised an eyebrow.
Midoriya scratched the back of his head. "You think so? I was just telling her what she needed to hear the most though." He told them. "No one looks good with tears in their eyes, especially not someone as pretty as her. I just… well,"
"I couldn't just let her be sad anymore."
All the males in the room stiffened.
Iida grabbed hold of Midoriya's shoulders. "Midoriya-kun."
"Y-Y-Yes? I-Iida-kun?"
"You are too pure for this world!"
"W-What does that even mean!?"
AN: WELL, THIS CHAPTER WAS A BIT OF A SETTING POINT THAT I NEED FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER. IF I WAS A BIT BORING, THEN I'M SORRY FOR THAT. MOST OF THE CHAPTER WAS DONE WHILST I WAS SICK. EVEN NOW I'M STILL ILL.
BUT MY FINGERS WORK JUST FINE.
SIGNING OFF…-
WAIT
I'VE BEEN FINISHING THESE CHAPTERS LIKE ONE SHOTS HAVEN'T I? WELL, IT'S TIME TO MAKE USE OF THE POWER OF ANTICIPATION.
Saiko Intelli was excited and anxious.
Why?
Because today, her teacher had a certain announcement that spurred the torrent of emotions inside her.
"Good morning class." Their homeroom teacher greeted them.
"Good morning ma'am." The whole class greeted her as they sat back down.
"Today, I have a little piece of news that may or may not shock you." Their teacher cleared her throat. "As you may know, Seiai Academy is an all-female academy. An academy in heroics. One of the most prestigious Hero Academies in the world."
Intelli became intrigued. "I sense a but-"
"But!"
Called it.
"The academy has decided that while the environment in this academy is suited for those of female gender; Once you become pro-heroes you will need to interact with people of the opposite gender." She said. "That is why, our school will be holding an annual school trip starting this year!"
A classmate of hers raised her hand.
The teacher nodded. "Yes?"
The girl stood up. "May I ask where are we going?"
Their teacher hmphed. "Well," She said, giving out a radiant smile as she puffed out her chest in pride. "The most prestigious hero academy in all of the world."
"The very graduating place of our symbol of peace!" She declared.
Intelli's eyes widened.
'UA!'
At the same instance, a mop of messy green hair filled her vision.
'Midoriya-kun!'
"So pack your bags! Take your gizmos and gadgets a plenty!" Their teacher wrote a date on the board for all to see. "Because we'll be going next week!"
Most of her classmates were ecstatic.
"Woohoo!"
"UA, baby!"
"W-Will I be okay?"
"So many unfamiliar people…"
"W-What?!"
However, the cheers of her failed to reach Intelli's conscience.
'U.A… Midoriya Izuku…' She put her palm against her chest to still her excitable heart.
'It appears our fated meeting is closer than I thought.'
DID YOU LIKE THAT?
SIGNING OFF…
ZacFF.
