Chapter – three –Life as a Student of a Hero Academia

Hello again everyone hope you've all had a nice day up until now! Here is the next chapter.

POV: Sakura

weird, in the 7 years since I remembered all of my memories I haven't felt hunger even once and yet in the last few weeks I've felt a very small but constant craving in the back of my mind to eat…

It is finally time to go to school again, even on my last life those three years were definitely among the most fun and important years I've ever had but I didn't miss them mostly because standing still for long periods of time was boring. But I am used to staying still by now, since moving turned into a stressful exercise about minding my surroundings.

Today is the first day and I am feeling quite excited to get back to social ambient where I can meet more than just mine and Izuku's family. Unfortunately Izuku is not going together with me today so I'll have to go all the way by myself *sigh* at least the uniform they gave me is nice.

Just like before I arrived very early there was barely anyone walking around so just followed the trail to get inside the building.

Simply amazing this is the biggest building I've seen yet. The corridors are of the size of a two way street and the ceiling is definitely a few meters taller than the usual my horns don't touch them even if I tilt my head to the side and there's still a decent amount of distance left. My disappointment starts when notice not many hallways can actually comport me even while crawling so there are many inaccessible places.

I find my class after a few minutes but I decide to go around the school first to find out where i can and can't go to and only come back around half an hour later. And surely there's a very big sliding door, big and wide enough that I can get through it without any problem. So I get through the door, the first thing I noticed was that there's a big table and chair in front of me that I know at a glance must have been put in here specially for me.

So I look around and the next thing I noticed is that the door I just got trough is on the back of the room and that there is a second, smaller one on the other side. It seems no one else has arrived yet "hey! We were in the same area during the exams do you remember me" I hold back a jump in surprise, I look around and only now noticed the floating clothes seem to have something invisible filling them. "My name is Hagakure Toru what' yours?" oh what danger I didn't see her there "my name is Uehara Sakura, sorry I didn't see you there I could have stepped on you by accident"

"Don't mind it, I am already used to it" I think I can see the reason why but… used to not being seem or to being stepped on? What a dumb question "just how did you beat the robots with an invisibility quirk?" I can't see her expression "well you know… doing my best in one way or another" that didn't tell me anything.

The rest of my classmates arrived one by one and some of them arrived together. They all, without counting Katsuki, he barely spared me a glance, talked to me and at least told me their names. I would have liked to believe that everyone is just that educated but seeing how they didn't talk to everybody else as well… it is probably just because I call that much attention to myself with my size.

Izuku was the 19th out of 20 to arrive and he'd already managed to make another friend. Their conversation didn't last long though.

"Okay, it took eight seconds for you to get quiet. Time is limited and you kids are not rational enough" it seems that he is our teacher I think he is the only one I remember by Name and Hero name he is called Eraser Head. "I am your teacher Aizawa Shota, nice to meet you. It is kind of sudden but put this on and get out onto the field, he says while showing of the P.E. clothes.

It didn't take long for all of us to be out and he started to explain about how he would have us take a quirk assessment test. He showed off Katsuki's result and them it was time for us to attempt the test ourselves. "hey, Sensei, how about me, will I have the extra space necessary for taking these tests, even if I stand straight there's barely enough space in this circle."

He looked directly at me and said "no problem you will still do your tests besides everyone else, you don't have to worry about the lines on the ground, just like I was saying before judging your capabilities without your quirks makes no sense and yours makes it so these lines can't reasonably be used for you"

Everyone was already talking how about using their quirks would be fun and Sensei certainly shut it down very quickly "it looks fun? You will have 3 years to turn into a proper Hero, will you have this attitude the whole time? All right, whoever comes in last place in all eight testes will be judged to have no potential and be punished with expulsion"

That commentary managed to get to almost everyone in the class. I am not really worried for myself but… I looked into the Sensei's eyes and wondered whether he would force me to go all out. He might punish me instead, if he thinks I am not taking this test seriously.

POV: Aizawa Shota

It seems the class is properly motivated. Time to start.

The first test is the 50 meter dash.

I decided to order them base on how willing they seem, to give them time to ready themselves and it is nice to know most of them are exited or worried judging by their expressions. Everyone besides Uehara that is, she doesn't look worried or exited at all let's see if we can find out the reason why. "Uehara, Ojiro, Uraraka. You're next" the countdown began as they got ready but after the sign only uraraka and Ojiro started running and Uehara stayed still, it was only a second after that she decided to move *boom* "2.23 seconds" she managed to make the whole 50 meters with a single jump and a decently sized crater was left on her starting point. It seems stopping her momentum left another big scar on the ground besides the cloud of dust it created.

I see, the reason she isn't as excited as the others as well as the reason she decided to wait a second, it was to protect her classmates, to stop them from being hurt by her huge amount power she has no choice besides holding back. The reason she is not exited is probably because she is not going to be able to go all out like the other students. That is not good at all.

"Uehara, redo the test. And from now on you will take every test by yourself." She didn't seem surprised by my words and just got back into position. But this time by the time the machine said three she started growing bigger, I see that what she has is not a completely passive mutation quirk she didn't grow that much bigger in only the 3 seconds but this time she jumped just as the signal was given *boom* "0,54 seconds".

Impressive, this time the whole class was left wide eyed in surprise. It probably isn't even about speed but just about the absurd amount of strength she is capable of mustering. On the other side of the spectrum Izuku the boy managed to get in based only on rescue points and that has a supposed physical enhancement quirk is very much avoiding to use it. At least he is self-aware that if he uses his quirk and incapacitates himself he is automatically on last place.

The tests were as expected. They all used their quirks to help them when possible and Uehara got absolutely god like results, expected given that her quirk above everyone else's gave her a complete physical performance enhancement, I am sure that considering the size of her ears, eyes, Nose and tongue along the rest of her body every one of her senses, besides tact considering how much of her skin is covered by moss must also be super-human.

It is about time. Surely Midoriya also knows that the throwing test is his best chance of achieving a good score.

POV: Sakura

Watching as Sensei stopped Izuku from using his quirk and breaking his arm as a consequence gave me mixed feelings, on one hand I don't want to see Izuku ashamed of himself even if he is usually shy of receiving attention but on the other I don't want to see him hurt either. His next moment though would be the one where he proved to the Hero Aizawa Shota that he had potential.

The moment he threw the ball putting all of his strength only on the end of his index finger was surprising even for me as I can barely remember about the specifics of the story anymore not of this world and most of the others as well, not that it matters since I am here, and the memories I made seem much harder to forget than the ones I started with.

Soon it was my time to throw the ball again. This also happens to be the only test I may be capable of completely going all out on. "Uehara, your turn. You don't need to worry about the circle but do not cross the edge in the direction you are throwing the ball in". Expected but I still want know something "do I have a time limit on how long I can take to throw the ball?" he took barely a moment to answer " use however much time you need but if I see you're just wasting time you're expelled" that was what I wanted to hear.

By the next minute the softball wasn't different from a grain of sand on top of my index finger so I just pointed it forward and gave it a flick with my finger and…

*pop* the ball exploded… oh.

The whole class started laughing and I was laughing alongside them. It was as if everyone had suddenly forgotten about the threat of expulsion. Even Izuku with his swollen finger was laughing.

And Sensei somehow managed to keep a straight face but I noticed he was struggling to hold back by the slight twitch of his mouth as he said with his perfectly usual, bored voice "0 meters".

The rest of the tests happened in the same pattern as the last seven since I didn't get any tired in comparison to how I was in the beginning but this random though is important after all. Can I even get tired anymore? And if I can just how much effort would I have to put in? Or since my body is basically comprised of my soul materialized maybe I would have to get injured. I know I should be able to regenerate any wound regardless of how severe but maybe the process would be enough to make me tired? Food for thought.

"Ok, now I will be telling you all the results" he said as he clicked with his finger creating a hologram showing everyone's placements. As expected I was in first and in last was Izuku.

"By the way, I was lying about the expulsion"

"WHAT!"

The plain tone Sensei is always using is perfect for the execution of a Boke and Tsukkomi routine.

"It was obvious from the start if you thought seriously about it" said Yaoyorozu Momo, I am pretty sure she was surprised as well despite her words. After that everyone relaxed since the testing (fun) was over. The rest of the day was free time so we were allowed to leave if we wanted. And I decided to wait for Izuku outside the nurse's office so we could go back together.

It was on the way outside that we were approached by Ida-san. We didn't even notice until he suddenly started talking "I was really convinced by Aizawa-sensei. I even thought 'this is how the best of the best learn' and such. I didn't think a teacher would try to motivate us with a lie."

It was as soon as he ended his commentary about Sensei that we were approached again, by Uraraka-san this time "Hey! You three, going to the station?". She too managed to control the direction of the conversation as soon as she arrived. Maybe they all have the right kind of charisma.

But then Izuku looked towards me I think I knew what he wanted to say and before he could point it out I said "don't worry, you should go back with them through the station we will see each other every day from now on"

Ida-san was the one to question me on it "do you happen to live close by, I didn't know" he sure sounds sincere. "Not really, I live about as far away from U.A. High as Izuku but I cannot get back by going to the subway station or any other vehicle really because of my size and weight."

Uraraka-san was the one to comment on that "I see… you have a great quirk but it comes with its own set of inconveniences. Just of the top of my head I think you must have had a hard time writing and how about when you eat, do you just swallow the food whole, just how much food do you need to sustain yourself?"

"Well yes, that's exactly what I do. I am pretty sure I could even eat rock if I wanted too but I have no idea what would be the taste since I haven't ever done that before about your second question, not much in fact I can live eating no food at all. My mother and the doctors think that is the reason I have all of this green on me and that I may be performing photosynthesis or something similar"

"Do you want to get on top of my shoulder until we get to the station, there's enough space here for you three" Ida-san looked surprised, but Uraraka-san looked completely charmed with the idea. "Can we? Really, then I would like to" she said as I picked her and Izuku and put them on my shoulder Ida-san then said "if isn't too much trouble" and then I picked him up too.

And we went like that talking about random things and overall, getting to know each other a bit better. I can feel there are even more new friendships just waiting to be made and for me that is the best possible reward for my effort.

- The next day -

The next day at U.A. was really making us work harder but not in the physical way, but the student way. That's the hardest part about being a student, just watching the Sensei talk and explain what we need to know and sometimes also showing examples and giving hints about shortcuts to facilitate our understanding, but if it wasn't for the respect I have for teachers in general I doubt I would have managed to pay attention all the time.

In this case I also had an advantage, math, chemistry, physics, geography, and for the most part biology and philosophy were all subjects I had some form of advantage on since all I have to do is remember things I have forgotten instead of learning them from the get go. And my memory, even if it is far from perfect is still very good. And as expect Present Mic is still my favorite Sensei. I am not sure how much I am missing about the English language, but my understanding of English was still good enough to ace every test I've attempted in the last few years besides the fluency one. It shouldn't be any different here.

We just had normal school day in the morning, it was for the afternoon classes that everyone was exited for. Even me, I had fun testing my limits yesterday after all. When All Might arrived with his spirit lifting presence, I could see it, from behind everyone in the class, that some even started trembling from the excitement of seeing one of their greatest idols.

"IIIIII AMMMMM COMING THROUGH THE DOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" A normal person wouldn't scream that for the whole world to hear. "I am your foundational hero studies teacher. This is the subject where you train in different ways to learn the basics of being a Hero. Let's get right to it what we are going to be doing today is this! Combat training but before that, what you should think about is this!" he said as many compartments hidden in the wall appeared each with a number. "Those are the costumes made based on your quirk registration and your requests sent in before school started, after you change into your costumes, gather in Ground Beta"

Here it is! This is what I was most excited about. I finally get to see my costume.

It was simple but it had everything I wanted on it. The only disappointing part was something about a law that limits the amount of skin I can show, and for some reason they decided the vegetation growing on me counts.

My costume is composed of a two different pieces.

First there is a green colored leotard, made of a special material made to survive even my huge size change, and capable of blending a bit with the vegetation growing around my body, there is a very big pink stripe on the front with the edges being defined by a difference in thickness and a an inwards elliptical outline that occupies most of the front and that slims down into a very small stripe, in comparison, that goes around my waist like a makeshift belt this wasn't specified by me so I wonder if they did it just to change the overall color scheme.

This piece is particularly resistant because of its thickness as a means to compensate for how much it has to stretch. Even if the material itself is not overly resistant the thickness and elasticity provided by the sizes makes this a piece of armor in and of itself. Thankfully they listened to me else they would probably have made it like a bodysuit. They probably agreed to make it like this because of the price range.

The next part of my costume and totally not the only thing I really wanted out of this are the pads for my hands and for my feet. The only requirement I had was that they should be soft to the touch but U.A. went above and beyond PLUS ULTRA! By making them super resistant while still keeping the soft sensation to the touch, they were made to make it easier for me to grab things without having to worry about them slipping if I end up not using enough force as well as being waterproof, having this cool thing on them that stops them from ever getting wet, it can also stretch to keep up with my size! The ones on the sole of my feet are made to do basically the same thing except instead of being super fluffy they are made to be more resistant to wear and act as some kind of buffer between me and the ground.

They are technically based of the same material as the leotard but that went through different processing to acquire the desired properties.

All of those extra ideas thought out by Izuku! And now that I finally have them in my hands I wouldn't know what to do without them, I can't stop touching my own cheeks. I am definitely keeping the pads on myself even after we have to change back into our uniforms.

Apparently there really isn't much in the form of gadgets that can be used by me if I am expected to change sizes. Izuku had many ideas that would work for simply big and strong hero, but there is not much you can do about changing sizes.

I wondered if didn't look funny, because the default size is the smaller one the costume looks overly fluffy by itself, with a visible difference in relief between the costume and my skin that makes it look like an exotic piece of winter clothing.

"They say the clothes make the man, young man and women, be fully aware that in this moment all of you are Heroes"

Sensei went on to explain the exercise we would be having. It would be at most 20 minutes for each battle. We would randomly be paired up with another classmate and divided again in two categories for the battle, villains and heroes. The exercise is to simulate a situation where the heroes must infiltrate the building and neutralize the villains or the weapon.

The villains have 5 minutes to study the building and hide the weapon and after that the heroes would be allowed to enter the building. The villain's team victory condition is to capture the heroes with a capture tape or to stop the heroes from touching the weapon for fifteen minutes while the hero's team victory condition is to capture the villains or to touch the weapon within that time frame.

Apparently I am part of team C together with kirishima-san. Pretty sure the teams are almost all different. Izuku's and Katsuki's match up must be fate

The first battle would be between teams A and D. Izuku and Uraraka-san against Katsuki and Ida-san. Everyone I could argue to actually know ended up on the same trial. I wanted it to be a productive exercise and hoped it wouldn't have gone too far.

Hoped it wouldn't have gone too far, but Katsuki and his obsession took it too far. I think this feeling is anger… "hey, are you okay?" by my side Kirishima-san calls my attention successfully distracting me from my feelings "oh, I am fine just a little bit angry" he seems to have an understanding expression "well that is natural, just like Bakugou you are also childhood friends with Midoriya right, I guess seeing the both of them fighting against each other and going this far must not be nice. "Hmm" I answer and them he continues "but we are taking part in a Hero course right so calm down this is probably not the first time the both of them are going to get hurt" he's right and already knew it. "I know that, it's just that I let myself forget".

After Yaoyorozu's extremely detailed description of what everyone did wrong it was actually our turn right after. Thankfully I could let out some steam. It would be me and Kirishima-san on the hero team against Todoroki-san and Sero-san on the villain team.

I was thankful for those roles. As normal buildings don't usually have enough space for me to move around. They had just entered the building so now we had 5 minutes to make a plan.

"Hey, how do you think we should go about this? My quirk allows me to harden myself and become extremely resistant, I remember you can turn into a giant from yesterday so couldn't you probably brute force this?"

"I would say you are right for the most part but that doesn't mean I can just go and do that, the last match is still fresh in your memory right, we shouldn't be haphazardly causing destruction to the building and it is not like they don't have a counterplan." I verified he was paying attention so I continued.

"I also remember both of their quirks from yesterday. Todoroki-san can cause things to freeze and Sero-san has that tape he can use to immobilize someone. I can grow big and search the building for the weapon but trying to simply touch it might have them immobilizing one of my limbs. I doubt I won't be able to free myself but doing so could very well, on the worst case scenario, destroy the building. So I think we should do this, I should grow huge and find the weapon inside building and I can throw you inside towards the weapon. If that doesn't work I can offer support from outside the building as long as you don't get lost on the hallways"

"You are quiet but very smart aren't you? That sounds like a great plan I'm in!" we were ready to start so I began to grow as soon as Sensei gave the sign. The first thing I did was pick Kirishima-san up and then I went on to search from the lower floors to the higher ones. On the next minute I'd finished growing and looking through all the windows but I couldn't find any sign of them or the weapon.

"Kirishima-san, I couldn't find the weapon and I can't see any sign of them, they must have prepared against our idea and just bunkered up on the corridors. You will have to enter the building yourself and make a lot of noise so that I can get their location or the location of the weapon before I can move to help you. I can't exactly use those communicators with my size. Where should I put you?" he seemed to be putting a lot of thought into to my words.

"Ok, in this case put me on the first floor, my guess is that they would hide the weapon as low as they possibly can to try and hinder you from helping me inside the building. Do you think you can break the building, floor by floor, from top to bottom and just lay the rubble aside? I think if you can do it safely All Might-Sensei won't try to stop us." I look towards him and say." I'm no expert in demolition but I can no doubt try." I say as I move him to a window on the first floor and when he jumped in I stood up again and started gripping the walls of the building and hitting them a bit as if to crack an egg. It was very effective.

POV: Kirishima Eijiro

Damn. And I thought it would have been easy to win with Uehara-san on my team. I guess the other two must also be very smart.

I turn a corridor and the building trembles. It seems she's already started dismantling the building.

I didn't have to wait log to find my first obstacle, a huge number of tapes seems to almost close the way ahead and if they work like I think they work getting stuck in them would mean capture for me. Now, what should I do, Follow through? Or try and find another way? I think the answer is obvious since I have no guarantee that path without those tapes exist so I should just try and get trough but…

*boom* with the building trembling like this it is going to be hard to keep my balance. I advance forward carefully and slowly to compensate for the trembling building and soon the density of tapes around goes down but instead there seems to be wall of ice closing hallway it doesn't look like I can get through by any other way than destroying it. *boom* and ice and the wall crack a bit that one was quite big maybe she managed to collapse one of the upper floors already. I am sure that breaking the ice will make a lot of noise but hopefully I will have enough time before being confronted.

There's no time to waste! I will face whatever challenges wait for me head on. I thought as I started to break the ice wall.

So this was the first part and the next one will continue right from where this one ended, i made sure to split the chapter on a change of POV.

Talking about POVs the next chapter is going to be super focused on the rest of the class and just a bit of Sakura but I got why it looked like a problem when I went back to this chapter and the ones after it on both chapter the amount of POV changes number close to 10. It almost felt like reading a sliced and diced story even more because not all of them happen linearly to each other but I can't see an obvious solution. I think adding extra descriptions besides the POVs might help. Things like their current location and the current time like ? Minutes before/after ? to help identifying the flow of the history and i hope it would help the story to make more sense. That is, assuming the biggest problem with having so many POV changes is the confusion they may cause.

Well this is only a problem for future me, right now I will go back to play FGO I've finally finished the lost belt 2, almost caching up. It is so hard to keep focused on the plot of a history when you don't write it all the way at once. It feels like grasping a faint line of thought that is there but that you almost forgot.
