Chapter 3 : School Nights

After many hours of academic learning from the teachers, the light from the sky retired for now and soon the night came to put an end to the school day. While rest of the students relaxed on the couch in the main room, I and the others headed to what I assumed was my room, given that no one has claimed to use it.

"So you're telling me no one once thought to use this as a means to benefit themselves?" I asked

"Well, when Tenya asked about it, he told us that room was reserved for something later on down the line, so we just rolled with it." answered Izuku.

"I see...anyways, let's get started with the boxes." I suggested. The group nodded their heads in agreement as I opened the door to the cardboard box-filled space.

"Jeez dude, did you bring everything you had from your house?" asked Kaminari.

"Sort of." I simply responded. I grabbed some scissors from the nearby counter and handed the others one each, from there we started to cut the tape and opened the boxes, taking out the Styrofoam and from inside the cardboard revealed..

"Hey Kamren, what's this?" asked Ochaco as she pulled out a green curtain.

"Ahh, looks like you found my green screen."

"Green screen?" said a confused Mina.

"It's what movie directors use to bring actors to other places, like alien worlds, in the final product of the film." explained Tenya

"So you make movies?" continued Mina

"Not exactly, just skits on YouTube, nothing else beyond that. I haven't been able to make any before coming here, so I might get back on that later on when the weekend comes."

"Can we get in on the action? Sounds like fun." asked Kirishima

"Sure, It'd be nice to have help every once in a while. Most of my projects are mostly done by one person, and it can be a loadful sometimes." I chuckle, picking up a laptop from one of the boxes.

"Wow! Kamren, where'd you get all of this?" exclaimed Izuku. I turned to him in confusion and there in his hands was a All Might themed blanket, behind him lied three opened boxes filled to the brim with All Might merchandise. As you do when someone finds an embarrassing collection of a celebrity, my face went completely red and I took the blanket from him, covering my face.

"Whatcha mean, Midoriya?! The obviously not real All Might figurines and merchandise I have!? You're a riot!" I laughed nervously, failing miserably to hide the blanket and the remaining boxes.

"We got another one…" chuckled Ochaco and Mina.

"Keep it down, newbie! Some people are tryna fuckin' sleep around here!" yelled Bakugo in the distance. Great, the last thing I need is "Explosion Boy" sleeping across the hall, but I'll give him credit where it's due, it is getting darker outside and some people might go to sleep earlier than others.

"Um...is it too late to change rooms?" I joked.

"Oh you'll be fine, Bakugo's a nice guy once you get to know him better, right Midoriya?" enlightened Kirishima, only now noticing that our green haired friend was too focused on the All Might collection.

"You really seem to admire All Might a lot, don't you Deku?" said Ochaco.

Izuku turned to us, holding a action figure, finally realized what's going on. "Huh? Well yeah, he's simply amazing and he inspires everyone around him..." He stops suddenly and his smile of positivity slowly turns to one of frowns and sadness, we all could tell what those facial expressions were referring too.

Ever since All Might retired from being the number one Symbol of Peace, the world has been affected for the better or the worse, on one hand, you have many of a new generation stepping up to fill his place, but on the other, lies a society filled to the brim with villians waiting to strike at anytime. It scares me like you wouldn't believe, knowing that the fate of the world could turn a 180° at any second is both unpleasant and spine tingling. The room became silent, many of us sharing the same feelings as Midoriya, including myself.

"Hey…did you guys ever get lessons from him?" I asked, trying to make small talk.

"Yeah, he was our hero studies teacher." answered Kirishima.

"Then he must've taught you to have a fighting spirit at some point, right?"

The others were scratching their heads in confusion, as if they didn't seem to recall their teacher mentioning anything in that regard, huh…guess he didn't get to that part yet.

"Strange...anyway, I'm sure he knows how important he means to the class, and I'm also willing to bet that he'd cheer everyone up with his heroic smile and attitude." I enlightened.

My fellow classmates looked up at me, smiling lightly once again at my positive enforcement.

"Why don't we start finishing up soon? The others are probably waiting for us out in the living room." suggested Mina.

We nodded our heads and continued where we left off, picking up the materials from the boxes and decorating the room.

After an hour and a half later, the room, once an empty space with nothing but loaded cardboard, turned into a living arena I've only just recently been able to require. Over in the corner, the 10x10 green screen is hanged up with a tiny tripod and light stands just across from it, on the other side of the room lied a desk with a desktop monitor hooked up to a television, next to it was a laptop more suited for video games whenever I wanted to do something else for a change, and in the main center of it was a king sized mattress over in the other corner with the closet right off the edge of the bed.

"Excellent job everyone! This place looks pitch perfect!" celebrated Tenya, once again chopping his arms up and down in the air.

"Are you always like that? So upbeat and enthusiastic?" I asked the class president.

"Of course, It's my duty as class president to keep everyone's heads high and mighty!" Tenya responds, halting his arms.

"I understand that, but don't you think you can relax a bit? It's kinda embarrassing..." I sighed.

"Yeah, you tend to embarrass yourself more times than not, Tenya." supported Kaminari.

Tenya backed up a bit, blushing a bit as of response to our criticism. "I'm sorry everyone! I'll make sure to change my current setting to that that'll satisfy your likeness!" Tenya announced.

"You don't have to change your entire style of personality, just the embarrassing ones." I clarified.

"I don't know 'bout you guys, but I'm gonna head out to see the girls." spoke Mina as she left to join her friends.

"Now that she mentions it, I'm gonna go see what everyone's up to. Wanna come?" Kirishima asked me.

"I'll meet you there, I'm gonna lay down a bit."

"Alright then, see you then." Kirishima said as he, along with the others, left to their own devices.


Tired and exhausted to an extent, I opened up the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of , drinking the sugar-filled liquid thus waking me up for a little while longer. After regaining my strength, thanks to the soda, I headed out the room to join everyone else.

On my way there, I turned to a corner only to find a purple ball-haired Mineta creeping around the halls.

"Hey Mineta, whatcha doing 'round here?" I asked him.

He jumps, startled by my sudden appearance. "Oh, hey Kamren! Just hanging out as usual!" he chuckles nervously.

"Right….Listen, We're all gonna be in the main room, care to join me there?"

"I'll catch up eventually, anyway, I got some important business to attend to, see ya there!" Mineta shrugs off as he dashes someplace else, leaving me in the dust. For someone of his size, he knows how to scurry his little feet in a hurry.

After...whatever that was, I managed to find myself joined together with the rest of my classmates, minus the girls, a couple of the boys I haven't met yet and Mineta

"Oh hey, it's the new guy. Name's Sero Hanta." Introduced one of the classmates. There wasn't anything too noticeable about him other than the absurdity that was his elbows, but I did at least know one thing prior to meeting Sero in person.

"Hold up a minute, aren't you the 'Nice Try' kid who lost in the first round brackets?" I jokingly referenced when he was humiliatingly overpowered by Todoroki in the Sports Festival.

"Pretty much…" Sero responded with a hint of shame in his voice.

"Sorry about that." I apologized.

"Nah, don't sweat it. It doesn't mean anything to me anymore."

I sighed in relief and sat down on the green couch, relaxing on it's soft surface. Next to me was Kirishima and Kaminari, sitting in the chair was Sero, and standing in the center was Tenya.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there supposed to be more male students or was I hallucinating?" I asked curiously.

"They decided to turn in for tonight, said they were too tired from math class." explained Tenya.

"Makes sense in my opinion, never was great when it came to either Algebra or Geometry."

"You get used to it after a while." said Sero.

"Tell that to any school I've been in, they'll give you the same results." I sighed, grabbing a T.V remote, ready to surf through the channels.

"Hi boys.." voiced a female outside of the current group of males. We turned our heads to the voice's direction to find Mina and Ochaco, along with the remaining girls from the class, walking to our presence. One of the girls walked up to me and reached out her hand.

"I don't think I properly introduced myself earlier, I'm Momo Yaoyorozu, it's very nice to meet you." introduced the girl.

"Oh right, you're the kind woman that created the desk for me. Kamren Campbell, nice to make your acquaintance." I replied, shaking Momo's hand.

Coming up next to Momo, and I can't believe I'm saying this, was a floating pair of women's clothing, particularly a pink panda shirt with a skirt to match. "Hey there! Wassup?" asked the piece of fabric, resembling a cheery female tone.

Catching me off guard with the sudden, and might I say 'unnerving' appearance, I jumped back behind the couch, hitting head first on the floor. "You ok there? Did you get a concussion?" asked a worrying Tenya.

"I'm fine….She j-just threw me off guard there. I've never seen a quirk that turned anyone transparent before." I responded, grunting back on my feet.

"I'm not so sure whether to feel flattered or insulted." said the invisible girl.

"Sorry...anyways, let's start over properly. Whom is it I'm talking to?"

"Toru Hagakure, or you could call me...Invisible Girl!" She exclaimed, jumping in the air with flying colors.

"Obvious hero name is obvious." mocked Kaminari. Walking up to him was the last of the girls, she had a sleeveless blue t-shirt with a U.A uniform zipped open. She clenched her left fist and knocked Kaminari out cold, me and the rest of the boys stood there in shock of the sudden K.O. As Sero and Kirishima turned to their unconscious friend, this girl walked towards me, ready to start her introduction.

"I'm Jiro Kyoka, and I hope you aren't as much as a jackass as he is." said the girl.

"N-not at all, and nice to M-meet you." I stuttered nervously, hoping I wouldn't be knocked out like him.

After Kaminari was revived by his friends, I couldn't help but notice something was bothering Toru, who was looking around the room confused.

"Um girls, where's Tsu? Wasn't she supposed to be here too?" she asked her girlfriends.

"Tsu said she'll come eventually, she had to grab some groceries first." explained Ochaco.

Curious to an extent, I joined in on their conversation. "She a classmate of ours?"

"Yeah, she was supposed to be in class today but she was feeling a bit sick. So that's why you didn't see her earlier."

"I see." I took notice at my surroundings and also realized we were missing someone else. "Speaking of which, where's Midoriya?"

"He went off to train before it went dark." answered Tenya. I raised an eyebrow in utter confusion, from what I remember from the Sports Festival, Midoriya's quirk, while being a powerful one, results in physical knockback causing broken bones.

"Hold on, shouldn't someone be watching him train? If I remember correctly, he destroys his arms and legs each time he uses his quirk. If he isn't careful, he could unintentionally kill himself." I worried.

Tenya put his hands on my shoulders and looked me in the eyes with confidence. "Midoriya will be fine, he's been training hard and like everyone here, he's improved his quirk to a point where It's less self-destructive than it used to be."

"You sure? 'Less Self-Destructive' implies he can still hurt himself." I pointed out his choice of wording.

"We're positive." joined Ochaco.

"Alright, I'll trust your word since you've known him the longest, but know that I still have concerns."

"Noted" ended Tenya.


A hour and a half later, everyone wished each other good dreams and decided to turn in for the night, I on the other hand decided to take a stroll 'round the dorm building for a while before ending the night on a high note. Once I finished touring myself around the building, I sat down on the ground, thinking about what Tenya said.

("Midoriya will be fine.")

"I sure hope you know what you're talking about, Tenya." I spoke to myself. Brushing against the tender grass next to the cemented sidewalk, my mind reminded me the thought of that girl from the many dreams I've had.

("Remember...Kamren.")

Scratching my head, I grunted at the vauge hint. "Remember what?" I frustratingly asked myself repeatedly. For the next three minutes, I rolled on the grass, trying to figure out what she meant. "If only you could be more specifi-"

"Detroit SMASH!"

The loud cry immediately caused me to jump off the ground with frightening caution. "What the hell was that?" I questioned with a scared tone in my voice. Suddenly, the wind accelerated to high speeds as I was almost removed from the ground beneath my feet. Was this the act of a villain? No, it couldn't be, surely no one is that stupid to attack the campus at night. Well whatever it is, I have to check it out.

Once the wind speed died down, I rushed to where the sound came from, ready to fight the person responsible for such a ruckus. A couple hundred feet from the dorms resided a group of trees, and inside the mini-forest sounded grunts of exhaustion and bits of pain. Not hesitating for a second, I jumped into the scene and who do I find making all of the commotion?

"Izuku?"

Stood in front of me was Midoriya in what I suspected was his hero costume. He wore a green jumpsuit with a neck brace resembling a smile rivaling that of All Might's. He had a shocked expression on his face, probably due to not expecting me to just pop out of nowhere. "Kamren! What are you doing here?!" He screamed

"I should be asking you the same thing! I was almost taken off the ground by that gust of wind!" I countered.

"Young Midoriya, who's the kid? A friend of yours?" asked a third voice, specifically of the male category. Standing behind Midoriya was a slender, blonde-haired man who appeared to have no pupils except two blue, glowing dots surrounded by the black abyss of his eyes.

"He's the new student I was talking about." He explained to the frail man.

"I'm sorry, but who is this guy, Izuku?" I asked befuddled. The pair looked at me as if I was pulling their legs or something.

The man then walked up to me and in probably the weirdest but yet greatest moment in my life, transformed from his fragile body to a muscular hunk, wearing a familiar smile I've seen many times before. In front of me at that very moment was the retired number one hero in the world.

"A-Al-All M-Mi-Might!?" I yelled to my heart's content.

"Hahaha! Yes, it is I! All-Mig-"

All Might began to revert to his skinny form, coughing out blood, I on the other hand had my mouth gaping wide open, completely clueless at the current situation.

"M-Midoriya...h-how...and w-why….is A-All Might here?" I slowly turned to Midoriya, stuttering.

"Um..well you see-"

"I was just helping him out with quirk, making sure he controls it better." All Might cut him off.

"Is that it?"

"Yep, it pretty much speaks for itself, right Young Midoriya?" He turns to the green haired boy.

"Right!" He nodded yes.

I should still be asking more questions as to why they're out here so late, but I'm willing to leave it at that. "Okay, I'll take your word. I'm willing to forgive and forget."

The two sighed in relief, but then Midoriya looked at me with concern as much as I was suspicious of their actions. "Speaking of which, how come you're out here?"

"I was touring around the places while I was still awake, and then I started to-" I paused myself, covering my mouth. I couldn't tell anyone about my dreams yet, I'll wait 'till people could understand my reasoning.

"Started to what?" asked All Might.

"Nothing, forget I said that part. Anyway, as I was walking around, Midoriya caused so much wind pressure in the air that it almost lifted me from the ground." I explained in further detail.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that to you, I was only working on my moves!" worried Midoriya.

"It's fine, Midoriya. It's nothing to get upset about." I chuckled. I then turned over to All Might. "It's an honor to meet you sir." I bowed.

"Why thank you..What's your name kid?"

"Kamren. Kamren Campbell at your service, would it be alright if I asked for an autograph? I've been a fan of yours since I was in kindergarten." I asked holding a pencil and notecard.

"Sure, I don't see any harm in it." I gave him the supplies and he began to jot his name down on the notecard, when he gave it back to me, I tucked in in my pockets with a smile on my face, fanboying hard on the inside

Once we were done chattering, I left the pair to their own devices, entrusting Midoriya to keep his quirk under control. I still have goosebumps from earlier, getting an autograph from the man himself. "You did it Kamren, you finally got his handwritten signature. I'm gonna die happy now." I thought.

As I approached the doors of the dorm building, I heard grunts of exhaustion coming from behind me. As I rotated myself to see who it was, it was a girl that had dark-green hair with a bow tie knot in the back, her face resembled that of a frog's or a upgraded version from that horrible abomination of an image on the internet. She held many bags of what seemed to be food and accessories, and she seemed to almost lose her grip.

"Hey! You need help carrying that?" I asked her, trying to be a good Samaritan.

"Yeah, take some of the heavy ones and I should be good carrying the rest." I walked to her aid and grabbed the handles of the heavier bags, or what I had assumed to be heavy as these bags didn't have anything too difficult to lift.

"You good handling the rest?" I asked.

"I should be fine for now, I'll let you know if you need to carry another bag."

"Here, let me open the doors for you." I suggested as I used my back to push against the entrance, opening the inside of the building. "I didn't get your name, I'm Kamren by the way."

"Tsuyu Asui, but please, call me Tsuyu or Tsu." She introduced herself.

"Sure thing, Tsu."

After we entered the building, me and Tsuyu headed down to her room on the fifth floor using the elevator. On the ride up, she started conversation.

"So are you the new guy?"

"Pretty much, let me guess, did Mina tell you about me?" she nods her head 'yes' in response. "Figures as much."

"So how are you enjoying yourself? Meet anyone else?"

"I got the chance to hang out with Midoriya, Ochaco, Tenya, Hagakure, Kyoka, Mina, Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, and Mineta. So to put it simply, I think I got around to meeting a couple of your friends." I explained.

"Wait, did you say Mineta? He didn't give any of the girls trouble, did he?" she asks with concern.

"He didn't seem to do anything out of the ordinary…" I paused as I remembered what happened when I ran into him earlier, he seemed rather cautious and suspicious. "Actually, now that you mention it, I ran into him earlier and when I asked him if he wanted to join me and the others in the living room, he said he had unfinished business to attend to."

Tsuyu sighed in disappointment, facepalming herself. "That pervert is going to be in so much trouble."

"If I catch him doing anything uncalled for, I'll make sure he gets what's coming to him. Can't have the boy running around the halls with girl's underwear in his hands." I joked. It seem as if she didn't take that lightly as her tongue extended much like a frog's and smacked me across the face.

"Never put that image in my head again." She warned.

"Noted." I replied, rubbing my cheeks.

The elevator came to a halt as we reached our floor, me and Tsuyu grabbed our bags and headed for her room at the end of the hallway.

"Judging by that tongue of yours, I can only assume that your quirk is entirely frog themed, correct?"

"Yep, why ask?"

"No particular reason, just wanted to be clarified."

We arrived at the end of the hall and she opened the door to her room. "You want some something to drink?" she offered.

"No thanks, I had something to drink earlier." I declined.

"Okay, you can set the bags down next to the door, thanks for helping me carry everything, ribbit ribbit."

"Don't mention it, I was just doing what's in my nature….and did you just croak?"

Tsuyu nodded her head 'yes'. "It's something frog's do from time to time, if you didn't mind, I'd rather not discuss it any further than that."

"Sure thing, it ain't my place to talk about it. I'll see you tomorrow, Tsu." I raised my hand to her for a handshake.

"Cya later, Kamren." Tsuyu smiled as we shook hands, afterwards we waved each other goodbye as I headed to the elevator to find my room on the fourth floor.
