Mob woke up when Midoriya's alarm went off. The greenette hit the snooze button and sighed, then looked at Mob with apologetic eyes. "Sorry about that. Usually before I go to school, I exercise a little, which is why I have my alarm set to early morning."

"It's alright, it's better than waking up late to school." Mob stood up and stretched. "Hey, you said something about exercise right?" Midoriya nodded. "Could I join you?"

"Sure! Exercising with a partner is better than by yourself. I'm going to get ready, then we can start." The esper nodded and headed towards the bathroom with a t-shirt and shorts.

After they both got ready, they headed downstairs. They walked towards a park with a little track field. "This is where I do my running." Midoriya said as he was stretching his legs. "It helps me increase my speed and stamina, which is what my quirk relies on. What I would recommend is jogging." Mob nodded and looked at the track ahead of him. To Midoriya, it was probably nothing, but to the esper, it seemed like he was going to run a marathon.

"Okay, let's start in three… two… one… GO!" The greenette bolted and got a great distance between them, then he started to jog. Mob started his run off with a little sprint before starting to jog. He was slower than Midoriya by a mile, but that was to be expected. He did this basically everyday, sometimes worked out even more than he should. Mob only did it when he was with the Body Improvement Club, which was on separate days and sometimes they cancelled it. Though he did improve from when he first started middle school, it seemed he could do way more. He was already starting to get tired after two laps around the field, and was struggling to continue.

Midoriya caught up to him and saw how fatigued he was. "A-Are you alright? You can stop if you like…"

"I-It's alright, I can do a b-bit mo-" He collapsed and the greenette quickly caught him before he could break his nose on the ground. "Sorry about this… I run out of stamina quickly." He admitted.

"That's okay! You did your best, and I appreciate your determination." He smiled at Mob, then he returned it. His friendship with Midoriya was improving. The greenette let go of him and started to head to the bench where his school bag was. "Wah!" Midoriya shouted as he tripped. He didn't have enough time to push himself back up, so he closed his eyes and braced himself for the impact.

But… he didn't feel any pain. He didn't even feel the ground. He felt… like nothing. W-What's going on? He put his hand up to look at it. The purplish, hazy aura that he saw on that night was surrounding it; surrounding him again. He stared at it, then noticed how he was saved. He turned his head and saw Mob, reaching his hand out. His body was also sporting a similar aura. The esper used his powers to save him.

Mob placed him on his feet, and Midoriya was stunned. "T-That was close…" He brushed off a bit of dirt that was on his shorts. "Your quirk saved me from an injury… and that's what a hero is supposed to do! Good job Mob." He grinned at him.

"Midoriya, I still don't understand what a quirk is."

"What you just did… is that not your quirk?"

"I told you before, they are Esper powers. I'm not sure if they are qualified as a quirk or not."

"I believe that is your quirk, telekinesis. You know, UA will actually be a good place for you. I understand your opinion on your powers and see them as useless… but their not. Like All Might said, you can become a hero. He said that to me as well a few months ago, and not only him and the school, but the people there helped me as well. Don't look down on yourself and think your different because of it. Think about what you can do with it, instead of thinking yourself as someone else your not. What you did just moments ago, was something a hero would do. You acted upon instinct, your body acted without you thinking about it. That's why… you can become the best hero the world has ever known, and using your powers can help you with that goal!"

Mob was taken aback by his monologue. He was… right. He could use his powers for the greater good. He didn't need to think it was useless. Not only that, he was going to attend a school with people that have special 'quirks'. He was not the odd ones out, he was like everyone else in that regard. He also saved someone with his powers, a power he tried avoiding because he was afraid it would hurt someone.

"S-Sorry… did I take it to far?" Midoriya rubbed the back of his neck as he apologized.

"No… but thank you. You helped me a lot by making me realize my potential. I am grateful." The greenette smiled at him and Mob couldn't help himself.

He smiled back.


Progress towards Mob's Explosion

65%

After they packed up their things, they headed onward to school. They were in the front entrance when Midoriya took something out of his pocket. It looked like a student ID pass. "This is your student pass. It allows you to pass through the gates without triggering the security alarms." He gave it to Mob, and inspected it.

"What would happen if someone walked in without it?"

"W-Well… I don't know yet since it never happened, but I'd be better if it stayed that way."

Before they walked through the doors, they were interrupted by someone.

"Hey Deku!" Midoriya turned around and saw Uraraka Ochako, waving at him.

"U-Uh h-hi!" Mob turned his head and saw the greenette's face red as a tomato.

"I just wanted to say hi before school started." She turned her head to look at the boy next to him. "Oh hello there! What's your name?"

"Shigeo Kageyama, but Mob is fine."

"I've never seen you before. Are you new?"

"Yes, actually it's my first day."

"Wow… how did you get in?"

"All Might allowed him a pass." Midoriya answered her.

"FOR REAL?!" She shouted, and some heads turned to look at her.

"Y-Yes." Mob was surprised from her outburst.

"That's incredible! I can't wait to work with you!" She smiled at them, and headed towards the door. "See you guys in class." She walked away.

"We should heard towards class as well. The bell's going to ring soon." Mob nodded and followed him to the class that was 1-A.

Midoriya opened the class door and suddenly Tenya Iida went up to him. "Midoriya, good morning!" He said while moving his hands.

"Good morning too you too Tenya."

It was then that Mr. Aizawa came into their class. "Alright everyone, take your seats and stop yapping." The students quickly sat in their seats. "Today, we have someone new. Introduce yourself." Mob already said his name a lot, but one more time couldn't hurt.

"My name is Shigeo Kageyama, but people just call me Mob. I look forward to working with everyone." He said with a bow.

"Alright, take your seat. Your desk will be in the bottom right corner of the room." The esper headed towards it and sat down on the chair. Inside the desk were textbooks for the various subjects, a few writing utensils and paper. He looked at everyone in the room.

There was a couple of classmates that definitely caught his attention. A small boy with what appeared to be balls stuck to his head, a girl with pink skin and horns on her head, and most surprisingly someone that resembled a bird. Are they like this because of their quirks? He thought.

"All right everyone, take out your Math textbooks and go to page 327."

It was just like normal school, but with people that had special abilities and were training to become a hero and stop villains.

Mob had to admit, he was interested in the concept.


All right! Mob's first day at UA, well part one at least. Next chapter will look at how Mob's world is doing. Until then, see ya!

DNWorks : Yes, Reigen will come back. Not only him, but other Mob characters will be featured as well. He is probably my favourite Mob character, and I would love to have him be more included in the story then only in the beginning.
