All Might sat still unmoving as Uraraka completed her story of her dream. They both sat in unbearable silence as the young hero in training waited for the old pro to reply.
"I'll admit this is not how I expected this conversation to go." Spoke All Might finally. As he leaned back rubbing his chin in thought. "So basically you'll have 8 quirks in total?"
Uraraka nodded "That was my understanding yes. So I have my zero gravity, the original stockpiling One For All quirk and now this Black whip."
"If I didn't see the sercurity footage from the cafeteria incident yesterday I'd find this hard to believe." Admitted All Might.
"It was hard enough handling my own and the original One For All but I don't know how to handle these others when they appear." Spoke Uraraka looking down at the coffee table.
"It'll be a tough learning curve no doubt. But I'll be with you every step of the way. And to prove that I'll start looking for whatever information I can on the past Holders to see what we can learn and hopefully learn what quirks you'll have to master." Smiles All Might confidently.
"I appreciate that. I don't think I can do this alone."
All Might rubbed his chin in thought "You know I got a surprising phone call the other day from an Ex sidekick."
Uraraka glanced up raising a brow as All Might continued "It would seem you've left a very good impression on Nighteye. Honestly didn't think he and I will ever speak again since I told him I chose you as my successor."
"He told me he didn't approve of me at first but warmed up to me. The raid against the Yakuza was in a way a final test to prove to him I was worthy. But honestly I think Izuku did more that day then I did." Explained Uraraka.
"Speaking of Young Midoriya have you two spoken yet?" Asked All Might with curiosity
Uraraka shook her head "Never had the chance. Only found out he was enrolled here yesterday... then the whole fight thing happened."
"I'm sure you two will have a chance. Now you best be off. I know Aizawa wanted to speak with the students involved in the raid about information he received from Nighteye and the hospital."

"She's finally awaken from her fever and her horn has shrunken down to a small bump since the fever ended." Announced Aizawa to Uraraka, Kendo, Tsuyu and Kirishima.
Uraraka sighed in relief hearing the little girl is doing well but Aizawa wasn't done. "She's asked to see Uraraka, Mirio and Midoriya."
Uraraka perked up in curiosity "Why us three?"
"You three spent the most time with her and fought the hardest to save her. Unfortunately due to the circumstances of his enrollment here Midoriya can't not leave campus to see her. Only Uraraka and Mirio can go." Explained Aizawa
Uraraka frowned slightly hearing that. The one who fought the hardest and sacrificed the most couldn't see the end result of everything he done to save a life.
Aizawa continued on speaking "I'll leave between you and Mirio to organise a visit and I'll escort you both. Now Kendo since your vice rep I'm going to leave you in charge of announcing the upcoming school festival to the rest of the class."
Tsuyu tilted her head "A school festival?"
"Is it really wise to have that with how wild everything has been going lately." Voiced Kirishima with concern.
"I understand where you're coming from Kirishima but keep in mind this school isn't purely just a hero school. The school festival is a chance for general studies, support and business courses to shine and let loose. The sports festival is purely for the Hero course and it'll be unfair if we were to cancel the school festival because of the Hero students. Keep in mind the dormitories for example. Those were set up as form of sercurity purely for the Hero course." Explained Aizawa
Kirishima looked down in thought process what Aizawa said and mentally cursed himself for being selfish to deny the other UA courses their chance of fun.
"In previous years outsiders have been allowed to attend the festival. But we aren't taking the sercurity risk so this will be for those inside UA only. Which means your class has to be involved. You got 2 days to come up with an idea that the whole class agrees on." Spoke Aizawa as he picked up his sleeping bag and tucked under his arm walking towards the door.
"And if we can't agree on something?" Asked Kendo
Aizawa glared over his shoulder "Then I'll give a public lecture."

Izuku was impressed that the cafeteria was already fixed from yesterday's incident. He honestly couldn't tell that anything even though something did. He was once again sitting alone snacking at his lunch continuing on with his studying.
"Mind if I join you?"
Izuku glanced up just as he took a mouth full of food and in his surprise at seeing Uraraka standing there he began to choke on his food.
After a few solid hits to his chest he managed to clear his throat and airways "Ochako?! I Uh um I Uh y-yeah sure. Take a seat." He gasped for air
Uraraka fought back a giggle and sat opposite him. The two then sat in complete awkward silence unsure of what to say to the other. Occasionally one would catch the other looking at them then suddenly avert their gaze.
Izuku decided to break the ice and cleared his throat "I guess I should be thanking you."
This instantly made Uraraka tilt her head in confusion "Thank me? What for?"
Izuku chuckled nervously "Hehe man where do I even begin. Well first there was when we meet and you helped me out of the cliff and stayed with me until Kurogiri took me back. Then you helped me gain some control when I was going wild as a Nomu. And then you helped me rescue Eri and fight Chisaki. And then to top it all off you and the other interns vouched for me and help give me a chance to be here. So Thank You Ochako."
Uraraka blinked and rubbed the back of her neck shyly listening to Izuku list of his reasons of thanking her making her slightly flustered "Hehe ah well you're welcome. However that night on the cliff wasn't actually when we first meet."
Now it was Izukus turn tilt his head in confusion. Uraraka noticed this and decided to explain "You were with some guy in a hoodie sitting by the fountain at the mall. You looked nervous and I walked over to check on you."
Izukus eyes widened in realisation remembering his conversation with Shigaraki and then a girl interrupting them. "Oh I remember now. I barely remembered it."
Before the conversation could flow any further the two were joined by Kirishima, kendo, Tsuyu, Iida and todoroki. "I hope you don't mind us joining you." Spoke Iida.
"Oh uh not at all." Answered Izuku surprised
Uraraka watched the others take a seat with kendo beside her and Todoroki beside Izuku. During that time Uraraka couldn't help but noticed an awkward tension between Kendo and Kirishima as they seemed to be avoiding looking at one another and keeping a distance. Infact she also noticed this when they were speaking with Aizawa earlier.
"I'm Tenya Iida! It's a pleasure to meet you Midoriya!" Announced Iida bowing at at perfect 90 degree angle before taking his seat.
"Oh likewise."
"I'm Todoroki"
"Itsuka Kendo"
"Kirishima"
"We meet yesterday."
Izuku nodded "Well it's an honour to meet you all. So you guys are all in the Hero course?"
"You bet!! I was actually with you during the raid. I heard about how you stood up against overhaul. To injure that much punishment to your body and not give up so manly!" Ranted Kirishima
"Hey after hearing all the crap you took you're not exactly a pushover either Kirishima." Spoke Sero as he walked past to sit with others in 1A.
"I heard about your Rappa fight. That sounded incredible. Do you mind me asking what your quirk is? I didn't actually get to see you in action." Asked Izuku.
"Oh it's called hardening. Pretty self explanatory. I can harden my body." Kirishima then proceeded to harden his arm in demonstration as he spoke "I also have a level I called unbreakable but my fight with Rappa kind of put that title to shame." He spoke solemnly
There was a few seconds silence as everyone on the table waited for a response from Izuku. Instead of something verbal they all jolted in shock as Izuku pushed away his plate and study books away and opened his notebook onto a fresh page and quickly started filling it out with what he just heard from Kirishima.
"what's your limits?! How long can you hold both forms? Does your hair harden too? What about your eyes?" Izuku shot off questions as fast as he could think of them.
Kirishima rubbed the back of his head with a chuckle and answered as best he could. Soon he'd open a page and start quizzing Iida, then Tsuyu and then Kendo followed by Todoroki.
He never got a chance to ask Uraraka anything as lunch started to come to an end. "Well then me must be off to class." Announced Iida getting to his feet.
Izuku began grabbing his books just as Todoroki stood up and glanced at him "Midoriya. Do you have a phone?"
Izuku looked up and pulled it out "Oh yeah. It's a special phone the school gave me." He handed it to Todoroki and he inspected it before typing something in then the phone spoke in a robotic voice.
"Scanning new number... Number confirmed as UA class 1A student Shoto Todoroki... this number has been confirmed as safe and non hostile... would you like to save in contacts?"
The others stared in awe "wow my phone doesn't do anything like that." Spoke Tsuyu.
Izuku rubbed the back of his neck "Yeah they went all out for sercurity so I keep out of trouble. I'm kept heavily monitored."
Uraraka took the phone off Todoroki and typed into it aswell then the phone spoke again "Scanning new number... number confirmed as UA Class 1A student Ochako Uraraka... this number has been confirmed as safe and non hostile... would you like to save in contacts?." Uraraka smiled and typed more and the phone spoke once more "Ochako Uraraka has been saved in contacts."
Before he could process what was going on the other members of the lunch table began passing his phone around each entering there numbers before Uraraka got it back and handed it to him "now if you have any questions about our quirks you can just message us."
Izuku took his phone and glanced down at it before watching the others head off to class. "Holy moly... I just got a girls number!!!"
(A/N: 43... It took 43 chapters for Izuku and Ochako to have a normal conversation without worrying about Villians or dieing! And I haven't even got to the point where they start to question about how they feel to one another since they've only just kinda became friends and going through the process of learning about one another.
As for Kendo and Kirishima. When I started this story months ago I never had intentions of pairing the two. But after writing the Rappa fight I saw the opportunity for them to connect due to the shared experience and so I decided fuck it let's mess with these kids emotions aswell.
As for Bakugo I'm undecided if I'll will bring him back into the story or not. But if I do it'll will as somewhat better person as I believe he's to fucking stubborn to lower himself to actually team up with Villians even if his natural attitude implies otherwise.
