Chapter 10: First day at UA

Izuku - What? Hazel-san has posted a 2nd chapter in the same week?

Ochako - You think it's to celebrate the premiere of our movie?

Shoto - No, she just has no self-control when it comes to sticking to her own writing schedule.

Izuku - *muttering* Well in her defense she has been writing different stories for almost the whole week. And this story is currently the one that she's been writing the most for. So why not post some more chapters while your ahead? However, if she post too much then her readers will expect more frequent updates. Also, school is going to start soon so those updates will slow down. Not to mention that she's been writing so much recently, she might get burned out and have writer's block for who knows how long.

Me - *covers Izuku's mouth to shut him up* I appreiciate the concern Izuku, but I got this. Well... Mostly got this. *turn to you guys* But yeah, I'm really hyped from the lastest chapter of the manga (ch. 193) and the MHA movie. So I thought, why not post another chapter.

Shoto - *slurping soba* In other words, no self control.

Me - I can't help it. My doc manager is getting full and where did you even get soba?

Shoto - *holds out a second bowl & chopsticks* Want some?

Me - Is it warm?

Shoto - Wait. *warms it with his fire* Now it is.

Me - Yeah, it's been a long week. *happily slurps soba*

Izuku - Seems that food made Hazel-san forget one last thing. Thanks to everyone for Hazel-san's first 50 review on one of her stories. Feedback whether it's criticism or praise is something she always looks forward to besides maybe food. *sweatdrops*. Uraraka, you want to read the disclaimer?

Ochako - Sure. Hazel does NOT own Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia). It belongs to Kōhei Horikoshi, Shonen Jump, Funimation, and any other of their partnered companies.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(Izuku POV - one month later)

With the entrance exam out of the way and focusing on my middle school final exams, time seemed to fly by. I still trained & meditated daily and my visits & reports with Dr. Cath had become bi-weekly. Since putting Uraraka's number in MTAB, we texted each other almost every night. We would talk about how our day had been, school, and our favorite things we like to do. I still haven't told her about me being blind, but I plan on telling her today.

At the moment, I'm waiting for her at the train station since our trains only have a 5-minute difference and we could walk the rest of the way together. I have my outdoor MTAB with me as I sat on a bench near the entrance of the station. I could sense her waving before I heard her call from across the breezeway.

"Midoriya!" She came up to me held out her hand for a high five.

"Hey, Ur-Uraraka!" I still stuttered a little as I returned the gesture. (*1)

"We better get going if we want to be on time for our first day." She said as she started to walk, and I followed. "So, what's up with that tablet? I never seen one of those before." She said as she glanced at my MTAB.

"It's a tablet specially made for me."

"Oh, how come?" She said with a slight tilt of her head.

"Well you see, I can't exactly see."

"Can't exactly - uh? So, your blind?" she asked rather bluntly.

"Technically, yeah."

There was a pause in the air and I was afraid that I messed up a good thing. She would have figured it out eventually, might as well get the typical pity out of the way instead of dragging it out. I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts I didn't notice that Uraraka slowed her pace. I slowed and turned to her to get a better sense and her and what I found was surprising. Instead of the usual sad or sympathetic looks that would usually get from other people, her face had nothing but awe and intrigue.

"Are you for real?"

"Yeah."

"That's so cool!"

"Really"

"Yeah! The way that you went like, Boom! at some of those robots and went Pow! when you saved me from the gigantic robot." She said imitating my pulse attack and punch dramatically. "I was already impressed when I saw what you in the practical exam, but to know you did all of that while not seeing is amazing!"

"Shh, can you keep it down a little?" I said trying to quell her excited arms. "I don't mind if a few people know, but I don't like it being common knowledge to everybody."

"Sorry, but at least that explains why you are always squinted closed." She said as looked up in though and continued to walk. "Then wait how are you able to know do stuff without a cane and stuff?"

"My quirk and collar help me out a lot." I said while shifting my neckline to show her my collar "My quirk allows me to sense my surroundings like a radar and the collar keeps me from straining myself."

"Wow."

"S-so, I just want to be sure. You don't think that that it's weird for a blind kid to be a hero?"

"Nope. I'd think anyone would think it's weird unless you act it is."

The rest of the walk to our class was mostly, calmer after that. I told her about Dr. Cath and she confessed to me how she's actually living on her own at the moment. Reasoning that she lives far away from school and would save more money living closer than commuting back and forth every day. I felt a little more at ease with knowing that Uraraka was still her bubbly self after learning that I was blind. I wonder if my other classmates will be the same, I don't know. I'll cross that bridge when I'm good and comfortable.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

When we got to our classroom, the door seemed to tower over us.

"A- Are there giants here o- or something?" I said with a sweat drop.

"With UA, there might actually be some students with that kind of quirk." Uraraka said almost intimidated by the tall door. "but that's not going to stop us."

"R- right."

She slides the door open only for us to be met with in argument, right in front of us. The tall guy with glasses was making rigid gestures as he argued with Kacchan, who had his feet propped up on his desk. Before I could even recognize what, they are even arguing about, the tall guy noticed us and immediately turned to us.

"It's you. You would the one that punch the zero-point robot." He said as he started to approach Uraraka and me.

"Well you about that-"

"Please accept my sincerest apologizes." He cut me off with a deep bow. "Before the exam, I chastised you for not taking the exam seriously. Not only did you performed better than me, but also identified other elements to the test that I never even took into account." He rose and placed a hand on his chest. "From here on out, please allow me to join you as we progress on our path to be great heroes." He then extended his hand.

"Is this guy for real?" Uraraka whispered and strained from laughing.

"I don't know" I whispered back to her before turning back to the glasses guy and returning the hand shake. "Sure, let's do our best... um?"

"Oh, my apologizes, my name is Tenya, Tenya Iida."

"Iida? Well, I'm Izuku Midoriya."

"And I'm Uraraka, nice to meet ya!" Uraraka excitedly shook his hand.

"Oh right, you were the girl that Midoriya saved from the robot."

"If you're just here to make friends, I suggest changing to a different department." a new voice entered our conversation.

We turned to the entrance of the door to find a man with black hair laying on the floor and bundled up in a sleeping bag. He looked exhausted with bags under his eyes and a shadow that was borderline creepy. When he stepped back, he emerged from his sleeping bag to show that he was wearing all black except for a long narrow scarf that almost looked my sports wrapping. He looked familiar like someone that in my hero journal, but I could quite place which hero he was. He sluggishly walked to the front of the class spoke with a bored draw to his voice.

"Good morning, I'm Shota Aizawa and I'll be your homeroom teacher for this year." This sparked muttering among some of the students.

"Really this is our homeroom teacher?" said a flat faced guy with bulky elbows.

"I surprised he's a teacher at all." said a girl with wild hair and tiny horns.

"How did we end up with this guy?" said a guy with slightly floppy hair.

"I was hoping we'd see All Might on our first day." said a guy with extremely spiky & stiff hair.

"Quiet!" Mr. Aizawa commanded, making the room dead silent. "You all might have passed the Practical exam, but I find to be not rational enough. So, I'll be giving my own Apprehension Test." He pulled a remote from his pocket and pressed a button that opened shelving in the wall. "Go change into you PE clothes and meet me out at the PE fields." He started to walk away before Tenya raised his hand and spoke.

"Excuse me sir but shouldn't go attend the opening ceremony."

"Your all training to be heroes, right? Training is essential and unproductive events such as that aren't necessary for any class of mine."

Without any more words, he left of to go change. UA is different to say the least.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(*1) Usually when I refer to Ochako I wound use her first name. But since Midoriya is just starting in their friendship, he would most likely call her by her last name and same with her for him. Even now, I think aside from nicknames everyone addresses each other by their last names. However, I hope to progress any potential relationships faster than they are in the anime/manga. In fact, I might put a poll on om bio, so check it out after the chapter. *posts shameless shipping poll bc why not*

Sorry if you found the intro to be annoying or pointless. I just wanted to try something new and have some fun. Let me know what you guys think and if I should do more stuff like this.

Thanks again to everyone that reviewed, every little bit helps. If you're new to the story, please let me know what you think with a review. Constructive criticism is accepted, but no flames please. And don't be too shy to check out some of my other stories.
