A few things before we get going with the fic! First off, I don't own My Hero Academia or the characters except my own OC, I fell in love with the show after watching it, and I just had to write this! Secondly, I hope you all enjoy it! Now let's get to the good stuff.
It was about 20 minutes before homeroom started when Midoriya walked in to see the classroom was slightly rearranged, the rows of desks had been altered, and after doing a quick count he noted an extra seat in the class. Glancing around the room he noticed other students talking about the sudden change too, murmurs of a high ranking Class B representative sitting in. A student from another school perhaps? No one seemed to know for certain.
"Hey! Ida, do you know what's going on?" The engine quirk user merely shook his head as he glanced around the room trying to deduce what was going on.
"Perhaps someone is sitting in from the support class?" Midoriya was stumped until he saw Erasure head walk into the room, followed by someone he had never seen before until now.
Standing beside Aizawa was a young teenage male, his white skin standing out against the black board behind him, and messy brunette hair lay atop his head in an unkempt fashion. He was extremely broad shouldered, probably causing his uniform jacket to be uncomfortable as it was hanging off his shoulder. He stood roughly as tall as Aizawa, slightly taller when he straightened himself out. The most noticeable thing about him were his piercing eyes, a deep shade of a blackish hazel, that betrayed his intimidating stature and size with a friendly quality.
"Now, normally I don't like making announcements until class has begun, but this is the exception to that, I'd like all of you to meet your newest classmate-" The loud chorus of shouts from the students that followed was deafening.
"NEW CLASSMATE?!"
"But Mr. Aizawa sir! I thought each class was limited to 20 students?"
"YOU'RE BRINGING ANOTHER DAMN NERD INTO THIS CLASS?!"
"ENOUGH!" Aizawa was brief and to the point, shutting down all the sound from his class.
"Ah... Look, the short version is that many rules were bent, and strings were pulled to allow an extra student to join the class, especially this close to the exams... This is George Chesterfield, he comes from Newfoundland, Canada, and it's an extremely special circumstance that he's been allowed to join you all". Beside Aizawa, Chesterfield stood to his full height and offered a smile to everyone who was currently in the classroom.
"It's a pleasure to meet ya all! My name's George Chesterfield, but most of my friends back home called me Chester!" He said with a grin as he looked around the class, as he surveyed the cluster of people his expression fell slightly. Only a handful of people were giving him smiles back. Kirishima offering a big smile and two thumbs up, Midoriya giving a small reassuring smile of his own, and Ashido firing a big welcoming smile at him too.
He looked to where Iida was seated before the Engine quirk user rose from his seat.
"As class rep, it is my duty to welcome you to UA! And help introduce you to your fellow students, My name is Tenya Ida!" He stated, making a rigid motion with his arm towards the rest of the 1A class, some seemed more eager than others to introduce themselves. One by one the classmembers present listed themselves off in their own fashion.
"Hey! It's a pleasure to meet ya! My name's Mina Ashido!"
"My name's Ejiro Kirishima!"
"Tsuyu Asui, ribbit"
"Kyoka Jiro"
"I am Fumikage Tokoyami"
"Don't forget about me, Dark Shadow!"
"I-Izuku Midoriya!"
"Ochako Uraraka!"
"Denki Kaminari's the name! Electricity is my game!"
"Until you fry your brain, you overgrown Pikachu!"
"Kacchan! Come on…"
"IT'S BAKUGO YOU DAMN NERD!"
The greenette merely rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly as his short tempered rival started spouting obscenities at him. Walking over to a free desk George sat down and sighed heavily, sinking into his seat as he was quickly introduced to the few that had missed the announcement.
'It might be a long day…' he thought to himself as he looked up to the front of the class and was shocked to see the grim looking teacher start zipping up a sleeping bag.
"Definitely not back in Petty Harbor" he muttered to himself with a chuckle as he started grabbing a few things from his bag to prepare for the class when he saw the timid green haired boy sit beside him.
"You're…. Izuku, right?" The One-for-All user nodded with a slight grin on his face.
"I take it Japanese is kind of a second language to you, right?" It was worded as more of a statement, but Chesterfield nodded regardless.
"That easy to tell, eh?" The laughter from the pink skinned girl walking over was heard across the room.
"You actually said 'Eh' THAT'S AWESOME!" She continued laughing until it subsided into giggles, Midoriya quickly trying to shush her, but George didn't mind.
"It's alright, I say it a lot more in English than in Japanese, but you're right, I'm not exactly used to speaking it, did I mispronounce something?" He looked puzzled as he was talking with the two of them, unsure of his speaking skills.
"You're actually doing really well, but typically when talking to someone you would use their last name, like with Ashido here-" she gave a cheeky wave at her mention. "-but in some cases, people prefer their first, or nicknames, like Tsuyu over there" he pointed out the girl sitting at her desk, her tongue hanging out of her mouth ever so slightly.
"So, I should have called you Midoriya instead of Izuku, right?" He nodded with a smile.
"Mhm, but don't worry about it, most people call me Deku." To the greenette's surprise, he saw his new classmate take a note of it in what he could see was English.
"Alright, everyone get to their seats, so class can commence!" Iida stated as Aizawa made his way to the stand in front of the room and began prepping for the lesson.
(Time skip to after class)
"I've had weirder teachers back home, none come to mind" Chesterfield was talking to himself mostly as he was walking to his locker, looking around he noticed Iida walking towards him, and a raven haired girl walking towards him.
"Chesterfield! Allow me to introduce Momo Yaoyorozu, Vice Rep of class 1A!" he motioned towards her with his arm just as Chesterfield extended a hand out to her.
"Pleasure to meet you Ya...Yao... Yaoyorozu?" a light blush grew on his face as he stumbled over her name causing her to laugh.
"Maybe just call me Momo for now, I'm sorry we weren't properly introduced earlier" she took his hand and shook it before letting her hand fall to her side again before turning to Ida expectantly.
"Ida and I were asked to show you around the school so you would know where everything is, so you wouldn't have to rely too heavily on following others to your classes." she stated while Ida nodded in agreement. "And to answer any questions you may have about certain things."
"Not to worry, we will try not to overload you with information on your first day, now follow us! There's plenty to see." Ida said and waved for Chesterfield and Momo to follow after him as they began walking around campus. Everything seemed so grand and amazing to George, the tall sleek buildings, the lush green grass and trees was a welcome sight to him.
"Now you've obviously seen Class 1A" Ida stated as they passed by their homeroom, Chesterfield was still surprised he'd been allowed if he was being totally honest with himself, but he pushed that thought to the back of his mind as they kept walking. Mentally taking notes as they continued on the tour of the school.
Momo pointed out to a room off to the side "Here we have the Development Studio, it mainly focuses on costume adjustments and whatnot, but since I believe you don't have a costume yet, you'll have to go here to have your costume made."
"Well, why not stop in now? It's better to have it prepped and ready, since I remember Aizawa mentioning I'd need it for a class later this week." George looked over to Ida and Momo and shrugged, they returned his look and nodded.
"Let's see if anyone is in." George knocked on the door only to have it quickly fly open, and be greeted by an extremely energetic pink haired girl and a rather well armored industrial looking person behind a table tinkering on large pieces of armor. Looking up from his work, the rather industrial looking hero smiled underneath his helmet and looked up.
"Students? I wasn't expecting anyo-" his eyes immediately fell on George. "Now you, I was expecting, come over here so I can get started on your costume!" The Pinkette eagerly grabbed the newest member of 1A and dragged him over to Power Loader as they started taking measurements of him as Ida and Momo watched on with slight amusement as they remembered getting their costumes not too long ago.
"Now, they explained the basics of your quirk, but not all the ins and outs…" Power Loader stated as he finished up the last of the measurements, and began sketching out plans for the costume.
"Well, the increased strength is the main thing, but it can't be an incredibly thick hot material, as part of the strength, my metabolism and body heat are pretty high, so anything too warm will probably be a big issue." Power Loader and Mei nodded, and quickly started discussing various fabrics as George continued, "It's also important that at least my fingers remain uncovered, so I can use the other half of my quirk."
Everyone looked at him curiously, he then sighed as he raised his arms up, he closed his eyes and clenched his fists as he breathed in heavily before opening them with a brief snarl as black and red energy enveloped them. His arms slowly turned into a bloodish blotchy red color the longer he kept up the energy, before he closed his fists and dispersed the energy, the red color fading from his arms he stumbled before leaning against a wall, catching his breath.
"I didn't mean to go pump that much energy out at once…" was all George could mutter out as Ida and Momo rushed over to steady him, Power Loader and Mei quickly noted that down and rushed over to see if he was alright, his skin was pale, and he was sweating uncontrollably.
"Are you okay Chesterfield?! What happened, what was that?" he was leaning on Ida as Momo brought over a chair for him to sit on. He took a deep breath and offered a dry smile that wasn't returned.
"Well, my mother's quirk is called Hercules, basically she had enhanced strength and durability and a high metabolism and body heat, so she could maximize her power. My father's quirk was called Vampiric Energy, he could produce a similar energy, which allowed him to steal other people's energy, which worked well with his low metabolism. I got the best of both, and a mix of the worst, using the energy takes a huge toll on me, because I don't think it was meant to pair up with a high metabolism…" he was taking huge deep breaths, as if he had run an intense sprint. "I'll be fine, I just need a minute".
He quickly recovered from it, but still looked a bit shaken as he continued discussing his costume, with Ida and Momo occasionally commenting on something here and there until they had the perfect idea in mind.
"Okay! So you want a dark blue, light fabric costume consisting of three layers, the first is a simple cloth layer over your body to help keep you cool, and warm depending on the situation, the second is body armor to help you take big hits, and finally another layer of the cloth fabric. So it should look a little something like a ninja outfit almost!" Mei said eagerly as they finished up the final details of his costume. "It should be ready in a day or two, depending on how long it takes for the body armor.
George looked to his watch and quickly noticed that designing his costume had eaten up most of the afternoon. "Ah, crap! It's so late in the afternoon now, I'm sorry you two" they had started walking out of the development studio to see almost empty hallways.
Momo merely shook her head as they all made their way down the halls. "Don't worry about it, we covered most of the important locations anyway" They kept walking down the halls until they reached the front of the school.
"Hey, thanks for showing me around, I know it was a bit of a last minute thing to meet me, but thank you for showing this Newfie around" he quickly realized what he said and started laughing as Momo and Ida looked super confused at his statement.
"What exactly is a 'Newfie'?" they asked, practically in unison as Chesterfield practically doubled over in laughter, despite the confusion, his laughter ended up being contagious. Momo ended up holding back giggles before full out laughing, and Ida soon followed suit.
"A… A Newfie is kind of a nickname for someone from Newfoundland'' Chesterfield managed to say and sighed happily. "Didn't expect to hear that anytime soon, but if it doesn't make me smile".
Ida checked his phone quickly before looking back up at them. "It's about time I start heading home, but if you have any questions, just message me, okay?" Chesterfield's eyes quickly widened as he pulled out his phone.
"I just realized I don't have anyone's contacts! Guess this is as good a start as any, eh?" Him and Ida quickly swapped contact details, and then he did the same with Momo. They both said their farewells and headed off to home, while Chesterfield started walking to the apartment he would be staying in while he was enrolled at UA.
'Definitely not in Petty Harbor' he thought to himself with a smile, and started humming to himself as he walked back to his apartment. He was about halfway back when his phone buzzed, unlocking it he saw a notification.
"Class Rep added you to the group chat: Class 1A"
'That was quick' he thought to himself
Class Rep: " GeorgeChesterfield, welcome to the Class 1A group chat"
GeorgeChesterfield changed his name in chat to: Newfie
Newfie: "Thanks for showing me around today, even if we didn't see much after the Development Studio"
Class Rep: "Not to worry! If you want we can pick up tomorrow where we left off today"
Deku: "I wouldn't mind helping Ida show you around tomorrow"
Newfie: "I may take you two up on that. It'd give me a chance to get to know some more of the class"
Class Rep: "Would anyone else care to tag along? It could be a good chance to interact with more of the class"
Harder_than_steel: "I wouldn't mind getting to know the new guy a bit more"
MinaAcido: "Count me in! We could take him out for some food after! Perfect chance to hang out!"
Lightning-Bolt: "I think I'm free after class, so I'm down!"
Froppy: "I wouldn't mind tagging along. Ribbit"
Chesterfield looked up and saw the apartment building he was staying in, and quickly made his way inside. Walking to the 2nd floor, he walked along counting room numbers until he got to 9, his room.
It was like a little slice of home, his accordion and guitar sat in a corner, books that he had brought littered across the desk against the wall, and his bed was messily made.
Checking the group chat, his eyes widened to see the amount of people asking to join in on the tour tomorrow. 'I guess it could be fun'
Newfie: "Sounds like we'll have quite the ensemble for the dime tour tomorrow, and the idea of food sounds pretty good"
Class Rep: "I think it's settled then! We'll finish giving Chesterfield the tour, then get something to eat afterwards!"
Newfie: "Sounds good to me! I'll see y'all tomorrow, eh?"
MinaAcido: "HE DID IT AGAIN! :D"
Froppy: "Did what?"
MinaAcido: "He said 'Eh'!"
Newfie: "You better get used to it, I say it a lot"
MinaAcido: "AWESOME"
Yawning, he plugged his phone in and sat at his desk and started on the homework from today, occasionally laughing at how the rest of the class reacted to his 'Canadianisms' as they had started calling them. Looking up from the textbook to look at the time, he noticed it was almost 11:30. Closing the textbook for the night, he got into some pyjama pants and a black tshirt before shutting the lights off for the night. Right before he fell asleep a single thought crossed his mind.
'Tomorrow is gonna be interesting'.
And that's the end of the first chapter! I hope you all enjoy this, it's been rattling around in my head for ages now, and I'm excited to finally share it with you all! The next chapter will be coming soon! Until then, Later!
