Kawaki took a deep breath as he looked at the door which granted entry into class 1A.
A hand was placed on his shoulder. "They won't think any different of you Kawaki" Aizawa stated, causing the black and blonde teen to smile a little.
He pushed the door to the side and stepped into class. He watched as all of class 1A's heads turned towards him and watched as most people smiled.
"Yo" Kawaki said with a little hand wave.
The sound of a chair hitting the floor echoed through the room as a yellow blur sped through the room and crashed into Kawaki.
Familiar arms wrapped themselves around Kawaki and a unique mop of yellow hair was firmly placed in his chest.
"Don't ever worry me like that again" The person whispered.
Kawaki patted the head of the person wrapped around him. "I won't Nii-san"
Kawaki looks at the rest of the class and smirked as Denki, who was wrapped around him let go.
The sound of a chair dragging along the floor got everyone's attention. Everybody watched as Midoriya stood up.
"Kawaki-kun, I-I might not be speaking for the others, b-but I'm glad you're back! Midoriya stated as he drew a deep breath. "I think we all can agree that you stepped up in the attack and probably prevented a lot of damage… I don't think any less of you for what you have done and know that all of us are here to support you"
A look of shock took over Kawaki's face. A feeling of warmth spread through his body and a smile was formed on his face.
"I'm with Midoriya!" Kirishima shouted as he stood up.
"Me too!" Mina shouted in sync with the invisible girl Hagakure.
"As am I!" Ida shouted with his robot hand gestures.
Uruaka gave a positive nod with and a vocal hum of agreement.
"I stand with you Kawaki" came from the back of the room, from the vice president in Momo.
Once Todoroki Shoto coughed lightly, the class went silent. "Don't think any less of yourself, you used power to protect"
Kawaki felt tears welling in his eyes, he quickly bowed the class. "THANK YOU SO MUCH! I HOPE YOU ALL CAN RELY ON ME!" he yelled as Aizawa walked to the teacher's desk.
"As warming as this is I have to stop it there, we have something important to discuss" Aizawa stated, causing Kawaki to stop bowing and walk to his desk with his still standing brother.
"The danger is not over yet" he stated getting everyone but Kawaki to tense up. "The U.A sports festival is almost here"
(***)
"Would it be okay if I sit here?" Kawaki asked his classmate that was eating soba in front of him.
"Sure" the boy replied in-between breaks of slurping up soba.
"Todoroki… why did you speak up during class? I mean not that I don't appreciate it, far from it. But why you of all people?" Kawaki asked as he sat down at the table.
The scared teen looked at the black and blonde teen. "From seeing you in the bathroom, and knowing about your recent exposures to death, I felt like it would be best to show support, your talents would be wasted on you going insane"
Kawaki chuckled. "Well, thank you again"
"I'd assume that you would do the same for me if I ever am in the same position" The half-half user stated, not taking his eyes off his soba.
'Was that a cry for help? Or am I reading too far into this? I know all about Shoto's past, but I better ask to cover up my tracks' Kawaki thought as he looked at the Bi-coloured teen. "If you don't mind sharing, how did you get that scar?"
Shoto froze for a second before turning his head to Kawaki. "My piece of shit dad is the number 2 hero, Endeavour…"
(***)
Class is finished for the day, Kawaki starts to walk away from his locker just in time to see Uraraka open the door.
"Huh? What are all of these people doing here?" she screams while jumping back in surprise to see a mass of U.A students packed around the door of class 1A.
"What business do you have with class 1A?" Iida asks in a 'class rep' tone, with his robot hands.
"We can't even get out" Mineta shouts looking up at the horde.
"tch, what a cheap intimidation game" Kawaki hears someone say as he begins to walk towards the door.
"What are they even doing here?" the ball head hero in training asks.
"Scouting out the enemy small fry" Bakugo states while walking to the door "We were the ones that survived a villain attack, they probably want to check us out for the sports festival"
Bakugo stops in front of the crowd "There's no point in doing that, get out of my way extras"
"Stop calling people extras just because you don't know them!" Iida scolds the unlistening Bakugo.
A new voice enters the fray "I came to see what the famous class A was like, but you seem pretty arrogant" the voice gets louder as a purple haired and eyed boy makes his way through the crowd. "Are all hero course students like this?" he asks.
Bakugo grunts in disapproval
"Seeing something like this makes me disillusioned… there are quite a few people who enrolled in other classes that didn't make the cut for the hero course. Did you know that?" he challenges with crossed arms.
Kawaki yawns at this and starts to walk towards the door. "What should I have for dinner?" Kawaki asks amidst the speech of the purple haired boy.
"As I was saying… the school has given people like us a chance in the form of the festival, it's simple if we shine they'll consider transferring us into the hero course… and it seems they may transfer people out" he finishes shocking the majority of the hero class.
"Tch! That doesn't matter" Bakugo says as he begins to walk through the crowd. "It won't matter when I rise to the top" he finishes coolly before disappearing into the crowd.
Kawaki chuckles and walks over to the crowd. "I'm Kaminari Kawaki, I scored first place in the entrance exam, my quirk is called Thor, in short I can fly and discharge electricity" He says looking at the crowd.
"In the festival I look forward to your challenges" he says with an impassive face. "Just because you are in a general education, support or business class it doesn't mean that you can't win, just know that we in class 1A won't back down" Kawaki finishes as he begins to float before flying above the crowd.
"Kawaki-kun!" a female voice screamed from the edge of the crowd.
"Setsuna-san" Kawaki replied, floating down next to her. "What is it?"
"Just making sure you're okay after the villain attack, I heard it got pretty hectic, even some rumours that you saved the life of Eraserhead" she said as the two began to walk away from the crowd.
"Interesting" Kawaki said with a hand on his chin. "Let's wait here for a second" Kawaki said as he leant against the railing near the window.
"Why?" Setsuna asked, also leaning up against the railing.
Out of the crowd came a green haired boy.
"Awww, Kawaki-kun are you replacing me with another green haired person?" Setsuna teased, elbowing Kawaki in the ribs lightly.
"Yes, for the next two weeks I am" Kawaki replied with a smirk before walking up to Midoriya.
"Kawaki-kun? How can I help you?" The green haired boy asked, looking up at the black and blonde boy.
"Quirk-wise we have similar problems, let's work together to fix it quicker" Kawaki announced.
"What do you mean?" Midoriya asked, as the two in his mind had very different problems.
"Control" was the only thing Kawaki said.
Midoriya looked at Kawaki for a second before smiling. "I'd love to Kawaki-kun, but today isn't a good day for me"
Kawaki nodded in understanding as Midoriya walked by. He turned to face Setsuna and smiled, "But thank you for checking in"
Setsuna looked up at Kawaki and a slight blush appeared or her face. "You know you should smile more, you look 10 times sexier"
Kawaki chuckled. "I only smile when I want to show someone I appreciate them, consider it a reward"
Setsuna wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. "Can I have more than that for a reward?"
"You're going to have to earn it" was the response Kawaki verbalised.
"So when I win the sports festival, you can give me that reward?" Setsuna asked with a smile.
"Sure, that's if you can beat everyone in the first year" Kawaki chuckled. "There are some monsters in our class"
"Oi! Kawaki-kun!" another familiar voice called out.
The two residents of Saitama turned their heads to where the voice was coming from.
Walking towards them where two of Setsuna's classmates, one with blonde hair and the other a face Kawaki knew well, it was Kendo.
"Yo Kendo" Kawaki replied with a small wave.
"Kendo-neechan, what brings you to this part of the hallway?" Setsuna asked.
"Just wanted to see how Kawaki-kun was holding up after the attack on the USJ" she stated as the two stopped walking.
Kawaki smiled gently. "I'm holding up Kendo, thanks for your concern" he replied before vanquishing his smile and replacing it with his normal, delinquent-esk face.
"Kendo-san, is the buffoon from class 1A?" the blonde asked with an uneasy smile on his face.
Kawaki laughed in response.
"Monoma!" Kendo groaned, as a response Kawaki used a hand gesture to tell her 'Don't worry about it'.
"I'm Kaminari Kawaki, just call me Kawaki though" he introduced, holding out his hand.
The boy shook his hand and instantly a black karma marking like Kawaki appeared on his hand and backhand. Raising an eyebrow, Kawaki looked at Monoma. "Care to explain?"
"My quirk… copy!" he announced proudly, as he was about to start Kawaki began to walk away. "I have some training to do, Ja ne!" he said waving a hand.
(***)
Kawaki yawned as he stepped out of the train, onto the station. 'Man, Eraserhead doesn't play around' he thought, taking steps towards the exit of the station, Kawaki notices a group of girls in a circle.
He walks closer to them, having no intention on separating them, until he heard what they were saying.
"Huh? You think that just because you have a boosting quirk that you are better than us?" one girl yelled.
"Damn Nerd! Why'd you have to butt in to our physics group?" a second, fox looking one scolded.
"Now Nishenoya-kun and Hayate-kun won't pay attention to us!" a third wined.
"And what did you mean they invited you!" the fox girl screamed. In between the gaps, Kawaki could see a boy, looking very uncomfortable.
The fox girl wound up her hand and her claws sharpened. "This will teach you to butt in! You don't belong anywhere you damn orphan!"
Just as the girl was about to swipe a hand grasped her wrist.
"What?" she screeched as the group of girls turned around.
Holding her wrist was a much taller and intimidating Kawaki.
"Oi" he said in a low voice. "Quirk usage in public is prohibited unless you have a licence"
"Uh?" the fox girl uttered as the two other girls looked at Kawaki.
"He's hot" one of them whispered.
"But he looks like a delinquent" the other said in response.
"No! Look at that uniform! He's from U.A!"
"And persecuting people for factors they cannot control isn't legal either" Kawaki stated as his grip on the girl loosened.
"You don't understand! H-" the fox girl started but was cut off by Kawaki.
"I do, you feel inferior and decided to attack his weak spots to make yourself feel better, what a fucked up thing to do" Kawaki spat, letting go of her hand. "Scram, and if I ever hear about you targeting this kid again for reasons he cannot control… a lecture is the least of your concerns"
The girls nodded and started to walk away. Kawaki looked at the kid, he was about two years younger than himself. "Oi gaki, give me your phone"
"ummm?" the boy asked, still looking afraid.
"Just going to ad my contact details, so you can call me if anything's wrong" Kawaki explained as the boy handed over his phone.
"Ummm… tha-" the boy started but was cut off by Kawaki shoving the phone back in his face.
"Don't thank me" he says before walking away.
He passed a girl wearing a unique school uniform.
"That was like, totally cool of you!" she said walking over to Kawaki.
"Nah it wasn't" Kawaki replied. "Anybody would have done the same thing"
"Wow! Humble and super-hot! Can I have your phone number too?" the girl asked with a smile.
"Why would you want my number?" Kawaki asked, as the girl made a pouting face. "When you don't even know my name?"
The girl giggled. "Well, I guess I want your name and number then"
"Kaminari Kawaki, call me Kawaki" he said with a grin.
"Utushimi Camie, call me Camie, Kawaki-kun!" she instructed, holding her phone out.
Kawaki gave her his phone, and took her phone. The two added their contact details and returned the other's possession.
"So you live here in Saitama?" she asked looking up at the black and blonde teen.
"Yeah, near Electro-flight lane" Kawaki replied as a small bolt of electricity cackled around his fist.
"No way! I'm on that same lane, though sometimes I get confused because the renamed it from Katakuri lane to that" she explained. "Being honest, I thought it wasn't enough, Electro-flight was like, one of my favourite heroines. She would always fly in and put herself in danger. A statue at the park would be fitting"
"Yeah, a statue would be nice" Kawaki whispered.
Camie looked at Kawaki and bent over to look at his right palm. "Is that a tattoo? Not that I mind! I think it makes you look hotter"
"It's a part of my quirk" Kawaki explained as both he and Camie stopped walking. The girl grabbed his hand and looked at the forearm of Kawaki, it being covered by his Karma.
From this angle Kawaki could fully appreciate the girl. Shoulder length, fawn coloured hair. He plump lips, covered in pink lip gloss shining in the wake of the setting sun. She looked up and showed Kawaki her eyes, a dark brown that when made contact with the orange of the sky, looked like pools of honey.
The two looked at each other, staring into their counterpart's eyes for what seemed to be an eternity.
She smiled, and for some reason, Kawaki's heart skipped a beat. She returned to her normal standing position without breaking eye contact, still much smaller than the 183cm Kawaki.
She giggled before turning around, not letting go of his hand and started to walk, dragging Kawaki with her.
"I have to say, I thought you were a little less built, but that might just be your uniform, with those forearms, you could definitely do a lot of things with ease" Camie said, making it appear as she was thinking aloud.
Kawaki's eyes trailed down to their interconnected hands, he fought back a blush as he saw her hips swaying with her skirt. 'Yeah she's definitely Thicc' Kawaki thought as his eyes focused on the road ahead.
The two walked to Electro-flight lane, with Camie chatting away, asking Kawaki questions here and there.
Eventually the two stopped out front of Camie's house, which was about a block away from Kawaki's home.
She turned around and looked at Kawaki. "You go to U.A right?"
"Yeah, and you?" Kawaki found himself asking, even if he knew the answer.
"Shiketsu" she replied. "Anyways, I'll make sure that I'll come meet you before the final round of the Sports festival"
"Wait? What?" Kawaki blurted out.
"Me and my friend go every year, so I'll meet up with you" she said before letting go of Kawaki's hand and then giving him a hug.
Kawaki blushed a little, feeling her breasts pressing up against his body. She looked up and smiled "Thanks for walking me home Kawaki-kun, we should do this again". Camie then winked and let go of Kawaki and turned around.
"Think of me" she said, waving and swaying her hips.

Green lightning started to crackle around Izuku Midoriya. "This feels weird"
Kawaki chuckled as blue lighting crackled around him like Midoriya. "I can get used to it… though can I try something on you Midoriya?"
"What would it be?" the green boy replied, wondering what Kawaki had in mind.
"I want to try and absorb the electricity you are emitting, can I?" He asked, hestitantly.
After a half minute of thinking Izuku replied. "Sure, just don't hurt yourself"
Putting his hand on Izuku's shoulder, Kawaki began to suck in the energy that was being emitted.
A rush of energy surged through Kawaki as his karma instantly went into its final form. Kawaki continued to absorb, then the two felt a massive pressure weigh down on them.
Kawaki's eyes widened as he saw eight figures behind Midoriya.
Midoriya turns his head slightly and his own eyes widen.
A massive blast of pressure was exerted where Kawaki's hand was and he was blown into the air. He recovered quickly by stabilising with fight.
"Heh, just as I thought" Kawaki said quietly. "You really do have the most powerful quirk in existence"
'A quirk with unrivalled power that cannot be stolen, one of only two SS Class quirks' Kawaki thought as he landed.
"We don't need to train together anymore Midoriya, we have fixed our problems" Kawaki said as he began to walk away. "Oh and I won't tell anyone what I saw, you're secret safe with me" he added.

[From: Camie-chan 3
You can do it Kawaki-kun! I'm cheering for you x]
Kawaki smiled and replied
[Wouldn't expect anything less from you, thanks for your support!]
Over the past week and a half, Kawaki had taken quite a liking to the Shiketsu student, her flirtatious actions and bubby attitude always kept Kawaki on edge, yet they were oddly comforting.
"Oi Kawaki-kun, pay attention!" Ida yelled at his fellow classmate, snapping him out of his thoughts. "We have been called to walk into the stadium"
Yawning, Kawaki stands up and turns his head to reveal a full Karma mark on his face and arm. 'It hasn't gone down since yesterday, which means I'm supercharged for today' he thought as he grabbed his red cape from the table and clipped it onto his uniform.
"Why the cape Kawaki?" Kirishima asked as the class started to file out of the room.
The red haired boy noticed both Kaminaris tense. Kawaki took a deep breath in and then exhaled. "It's a gift from someone very special to me, she told me to wear this when using my quirk, she said that heroes wear capes" he explained with a smile.
"That's so manly!" Kirishima replied as all of the class entered the inner stadium.
"They survived a villain attack and they're only first years! Please welcome the Heroic's class 1A!" Present mic announced as his voice echoed through the stadium.
The class of 1A walked into the light, surrounded by cheers from pros and civilians alike.
"Fuck that's a lot of people" Kawaki muttered as he looked around the stadium.
"Coming up next, they haven't had as much screen time as their counterparts but that doesn't mean that they are any less unworthy, welcome Hero Class 1B!"
Class 1B exited their tunnel and came into the light, their individual members looking in awe at the amount of people in the stands.
"Following them are General Ed courses C, D and E as well as Business Courses F and G"
More and more first year classes came out of their own tunnels.
"But don't forget Support courses H, J and K! Let's gets started with the introduction of the official referee the +18 Hero: Midnight!"
A whip snapped, prompting Kawaki turned his attention to the podium in front of him.
Midnight appeared on the stage. 'Holy shit, that's very sensual' Kawaki thought as he stared at Midnight's costume.
"I now call upon Kaminari Kawaki to give the student pledge" Midnight calls as the entire stadium went silent.
"Shit" Kawaki cursed as he began to walk over to the podium, every eye in the building on him.
Stepping onto the podium he walked past Midnight, who winked at him and whispered "You got this big boy~"
'God damn it, why did she have to do that' Kawaki thought as he fought back a blush. Keeping a straight face he walked on. Once he reached the microphone, Kawaki looked up at the heroes' box and thought of a speech.
He took a deep breath. "I didn't have a speech prepared so I'll keep this short"
Kawaki looked at the gathering of students and smirked. "Try your best, because anything less than 100% won't be enough"
'Wow that was lame' Kawaki thought as the crowd erupted into cheers and the gathering of students stared at him with fire in their eyes.

Review Response:
Bow Burn1: 51% is a pass in a school test, and in the U.A enterance exam there are things beyond being smart that allow entry, like quirk, quirk usage and heroic attitude. Sure it helps to get a higher score but if you act like a hero for a hero school you have a better change for being selected than getting a good score in the exam and not being a hero... thats what i thought at least.
Anyways Reviews are always welcome!
Till the next episode
