Chapter 4: Meeting the Class
"Aizawa-sensei please tell me you are joking right," came a nervous laugh from a boy with blonde with black lighting streak.
"Kaminari, I don't think I ever joke…" Aizawa deadpanned "Midoriya is part of a reform program just put into place by Principal Nezu. Jekyll here is his guard; he is to make sure Midoriya is not injured outside of training and so that Midoriya does not injure any of you outside of training. Midoriya you will be sitting in seat 18 next to Bakugo and Mineta." Aizawa then pointed to the empty seat next to the spiky blonde with red eyes, 'Kacchan!' Izuku's mind alerted, and a short boy with purple balls for hair was practically dripping with fear.
Izuku then happily got to his seat with Jekyll right behind him who went to a chair at the back of the class while handing Izuku his backpack. Izuku noticed that Bakugo was glaring daggers at him but, Izuku could not keep his eyes from Mineta who started to violently shake in his seat as Izuku started to drool a little.
"I know it is tempting little Izu," said Jekyll a little amused "But No, you already know the rules you were given."
Izuku snapped out of his stare and blushed with embarrassment, the green scales on his face darkening as he quickly pulled out a notebook and pen. Mineta's shivering only seemed to increase.
"Now on another note The Sports Festival is coming up," announced Aizawa.
"Wait, hold up!" Spoke up the boy named Kaminari "That sounds like something villains would try to infiltrate… Isn't it? Will it be alright?"
"On the contrary; Since we're going ahead with the festival, it means that the school is confident it has all its ducks in a row when it comes to its crisis control now," explained Aizawa "I hear police presence will be five times bigger than normal, for example. What you all should be thinking is… What a huge chance the academy's Sports Festival presents for you all, except for Midoriya, however. It has been decided due to your power and circumstances that you will be sitting out."
Izuku wilted a little that he would not be able to participate, but it did make sense he was able to face All Might, and news of what he is was probably already making people nervous that he was attending UA.
"What, is the commission afraid that my little Izu could beat all of UA's little heroes?" grinned Jekyll.
Aizawa just stared at Jekyll before answering "No the commission and UA staff agreed that not just because he could stand against All Might is that the public now know what Midoriya is and don't want a panic when he can probably defeat most of students here because he was engineered that way."
"Made better you mean…" Jekyll argued.
"Anyhow, even though you will not be able to participate Midoriya you can observe from the waiting area, locker rooms, and hallways. I recommend you try and get to know your classmates during that time as well as any other free time you get."
Izuku happily nodded a yes.
During basic classes Izuku happily scribbled down notes seeing what he had missed or forgotten while being with the MadLab family. Every now and then he would peer up to notice Kacchan was giving him a silent glare before looking away. Izuku felt that the glare was sadder then angry he thought while flicking his tongue.
Soon the school bell rang signaling lunch had started. Jekyll led Izuku to the cafeteria kitchen where Lunch Rush, the head cook hero, handed Izuku his plate filled various raw meats. Jekyll had Izuku sit at a table in the far back by themselves. Izuku happily started to eat his still bloody meat by hand when Jekyll spotted a certain blonde with red eyes walking towards their table. Jekyll's eyes narrowed and sat up to walk to Bakugo and block his path.
"Out of the way old man," Bakugo hissed.
"You of all human spawns will not be sitting next to my Izuku," Jekyll hissed back.
"I can sit wherever the hell I want," argued Bakugo.
Jekyll then leaned down near Bakugo's ear and whispered "I will not allow the human who abandoned and abused my Izuku in the first place to be near him. However, I guess I should thank you at the same time because, if you did not abandon him back then I would not have had another little brother. Now scram…"
Bakugo gave a pained look before cursing and turning around. Jekyll then happily went back to his spot next to Izuku who looked at him a little annoyed.
"Now why did you go and scare him off Jekyll," asked Izuku "I wanted to ask why he was so familiar to me."
"Don't worry about it Izuku, here," said Jekyll as he pulled out small lunch box "Xillion's been trying to cook again. He made it fried so the oversized rat could not smell it."
Izuku grabbed the box and opened it revealing three slices of unknown fried meat. "It's not as good when cooked, but when you see Xillion next tell him I said thank you," said Izuku with a giggle as he grabbed one of the slices and happily took a bite.
As Izuku ate he looked around the cafeteria. Every now and then he would catch a couple of stares quickly looking away or others trying to avoid his gaze particularly when it was one of his fellow classmates. Though he did catch the boy with a rock shaped head glancing at him curiously before frantically looking away. Izuku sighed briefly before taking another bite, he was not surprised no one else would come and try and talk to him after Jekyll scared off Kacchan…
Not too much longer the bell rang, and classes resumed. Izuku was sucked into his into his note taking while Jekyll happily watched from the back of the class until the final bell rang for the day. Izuku's classmates seemed more then ready to leave his general area. The boy named Mineta seemed to disappear with how quickly pretty much he got up from his seat.
Jekyll walked up Izuku while glaring at Bakugo sending him a silent warning to not approach. Bakugo only scoffed as he got up from his seat sending a quick glance to Izuku before heading towards the door.
"I will lead you to the dorm you while be living at," said Jekyll looking to Izuku once he was satisfied with Bakugo's distance.
"Why do you not like him Jekyll," asked Izuku "I just want to know him, clearly I knew him from before and it's bugging me."
"And what have I told you about the you from before," said Jekyll.
Izuku sighed a little annoyed "That there is no use of the before as the me now is better, but something is telling me that I should talk to him."
Jekyll hummed in thought for a moment before answering "Maybe if I decide that he has proven that he will not harm you."
With a defeated sigh Izuku replied "Fine, but I will eventually talk to him with or without your approval I'm not a hatchling anymore."
"You will always be a hatchling to me my little Izu," chuckled Jekyll ruffling Izuku's hair avoiding the nip of the now woken up Stealk "Now let us go."
"Whooa...," spoke a brown-haired girl blocking the doorway "What the Heck!?"
Izuku's ears twitched as he noticed there was crowd outside their class' doorway and walked over to see what was going on, Jekyll close behind.
"They're crowding the exit!" quivered Mineta looking around hoping he can find a hole he can escape through "What are they here for?"
"They're scoping out the competition, retard," answered Bakugo muscling to the door "They want to see the gang who came through the villain ambush." Izuku's tail twitched anxiously. "They're checking us out before the big battle. IT'S POINTLESS TO TRY, SO WHY DON'T YOU JUST FUCK OFF, YA GOD DAMN MOB!"
"Don't go calling people you don't know a 'Mob' right off the bat!" Yelled a blue-haired boy with glasses while chopping his hand.
"I came to see what you kids are made of, true" spoke a boy with shaggy purple hair and extremely tired eyes from the crowd moving to meet Bakugo "but I didn't think you'd be this arrogant. Heard you all even gained a new pet."
Izuku flicked his tongue and his tail twitched, "I'm no pet…"
"Are all the kids enrolled at the department of heroics this way…" The purple haired boy continued "I'm a bit disillusioned. So that is it, huh?"
The purple haired boy then looked to Izuku and Jekyll who was looking more and more irritated with the tired looking boy. "So, you are the 1-A's pet villain, you better hope your owners know what they're doing or their spots in the heroic course will be taken. I am going to pull the rug out from under all the heroic course kids while they are on their high horses. Consider it a declaration of war."
The tired boy then walked away from the class door and strolled down the hallway. Izuku watched a little annoyed with being called a pet but wondered "Why does he want to get into the heroics course so badly, I'm curious."
"Lets finally be on our way Izuku before I 'accidently' do something," said Jekyll not trying to hide his irritation as he led Izuku out of the classroom and away from the crowd. The crowd easily moving out of Jekyll's way avoiding his angry gaze. As they walked Izuku caught the surrounding whispers as they passed.
"Hey, isn't that the Noumu thing that took on All Might?" one group whispered.
"Why the hell isn't it in Tartarus?" whispered another.
"Wasn't it some kind of weird experiment," passed another whisper "the hell is the principal thinking, can he even control it?"
"Shush, I think he heard us," shushed another "I think I saw his ears twitch."
Izuku sighed and looked down and faced Jekyll's back "I saw this coming when I wanted to be made better and become a hero, but it the words still hurt…"
As they left the building Izuku spotted the purple haired boy again watching him his serious face earlier gone to a soft and almost sympathetic look towards Izuku before turning around and heading in the opposite direction.
Jekyll led Izuku to a brown building named Heights Alliance. As they entered the building Izuku looked around curiously taking in the new scents as he flicked his tongue. They had entered an elevator to head to the second floor.
While they waited in the elevator Jekyll spoke up "You still have that bad habit of putting yourself down little Izu."
Izuku gave a little chuckle in response "So you noticed. I can't seem to help it; I hear their words and it hurts because I want to be a hero and they already see me as either a villain or some kind of beast to be tamed or locked away…"
"They are humans Izu and it's only been the first day," said Jekyll trying to comfort his little Izu with a smile "There stubborn it's going to take a lot of work to change their minds, but I know you can do it as you can be just as if not more so stubborn."
The elevator stopped and Jekyll lead Izuku to one of the dorm rooms.
"Now my little Izu get some sleep these next to weeks before the Sports Festival won't be easy," Said Jekyll opening the door.
"But I won't be participating?" asked Izuku.
"That doesn't mean you can slack on your studies or training," smiled Jekyll "while your classmates will be training for the festival, we will be continuing your flexibility training we left off on back at the lab with supervision from Aizawa. Too bad we don't have Xillion here to spare with you."
Izuku gave a grown "That's going to be even harder now that real body is bulkier and heavier…"
Jekyll chuckled "Well it's a good thing that we will be starting that tomorrow, now go get some sleep."
"Alright, good night Jekyll," said Izuku as he walked into the bare room with just a desk and twin sized bed. Maybe he will be able to decorate the room at some point, hopefully he can convince Jekyll to get his heated mat from his room at the lab for winter.
"Good night my little hatchling. If you need me, I will be on the first floor with any of the hero guards for the night," said Jekyll a large and soft smile on his face as he closed the door.
