Class 1-A, the class made to train heroes, were sitting in the living room of their dormitory.
Bakugo and Kirishima were having an arm wrestling while everyone else in the Bakugo squad watched and cheered them on.
Koda was petting his pet rabbit, Daisy with Hagakure.
Iida and Momo were going over potential projects for the class to do.
Mineta was being perveted as usual which annoyed Jiro greatly, so she jammed one of her ear jacks into his eyeball.
Ochaco was working on homework with Tsu and Shoto.
Tokoyami was brooding in the corner.
All in all, it was a normal day for Class 1-A. Well all except for one student in particular.
"Hey, where's Deku?" Ochaco asked when she realized he was not there.
"Perhaps he's asleep?" Tsu suggested to which Jiro stood up from the couch. "I'll go check on him."
Iida asked "Should we really be waking him up? It has been a busy few days. Perhaps it's best to let Midoriya rest."
Jiro looked at him "It'll be quick, Class Prez. I won't bother him."
Jiro walked out of the living room and towards Midoryia's dorm room. She used her Jack to hear any sound but was met with silence. She frowned a bit before opening his door.
She sweat dropped at the sight of his All-Might themed room. She looked at the neatly made bed before seeing something interesting on his desk. It was a collection of CDs. She never took Midoriya to be a music person. She walked to the desk before picking up the first CD.
It showed a playground with a girl in a dress on a swing set, looking up. A shadow appeared to be a man with a hat on his head. Though his hands didn't look right. They looked like... claws. It gave Jiro an unsettling feeling. Then there was the name of the band. KoRn.
"Korn? The hell kinda name is that?" Jiro asked. Especially with the reverse R. One detail she noticed was the shadow of the girl next to the K. It looked... She was hung. Jiro turned the CD around to see an empty swing set. Along with the title of the songs. However, her eyes widen at the names of the band performers.
Izuku Midoryia-Vocals-Bagpipes
Mina Ashido-Bass
Hitoshi Shinso-Guitar
Shoto Todoroki-Singer-Guitar
Mezo Shoji-Drums
Jiro stared at the names in shock. Several of their classmates were in a band? And no one ever said anything. She looked at the other CDs on Midoriya's desk and decided to confront them about this. So she grabbed the a couple of the other CDs and walked out of his bedroom.
She walked into the living room and Iida asked "Hey Jiro, was Midoriya there?"
She shook her head "No, he wasn't. But I found something else." She held up the CDs and she smirked internally at the surprised looks on Shoto, Mina, and Shoji's face.
Ochaco was confused "Uh... CDs?"
"Oh not just that. Check this out." Jiro turned the first CD around to read the band members.
"Izuku Midoriya. Singer and... Bagpipes?"
Everyone was confused and Tsu asked "You're saying Midoriya is in a band?"
"I didn't know he could sing." Ochaco said with a hint of excitement.
"But bagpipes? What are bagpipes?" Sato asked in confusion.
"They're a traditional Scottish and Irish instrument. Though why would Midoriya play them?" Yaoyorozu said before asking that question.
"Like fucking Deku can even sing! Is this a prank, Jack head?" Bakugo sneered.
Jiro glared at him before saying the next member. "Mina Ashido. Bass."
Everyone looked at Mina who shrunk in herself. Kirishima asked "Mina, you're in a band with Midoribro?"
Mina looked at him "Yeah. We started it after the U.A Sports Festival."
"Who else is in the band?" Kaminari asked Mina before Jiro answered.
"Hitoshi Shinso. Guitarist."
It was silent until Yaoyaorozu asked "I'm sorry... Who?"
Mina laughed a little awkwardly "You remember the purple haired guy who declared war on us before the Sports Festival?"
"That prick?" Bakugo sneered.
Mina glared at him before nodding "Yeah him."
"OK then who's next?" Iida asked.
Jiro looked back down and was about to say the next one when Shoto stood up.
"I'm a member of Korn. I play the guitar as well and I also sing alongside Midoriya."
Everyone's eyes widen at that revelation. To think one of the top students who got into U.A. through recommendations would be in a band. Who also would sing along side Midoriya.
Shoto himself simply stared at them blankly. Yaoyorozu asked him "Todoroki... What possessed you to join a band?"
He looked at her and answered "When Midoriya came to me with the idea, I almost didn't join. But because he's always been there for me, I knew it in my heart, it was the right thing to be there. This band isn't simply something we wanted to do because it's fun. We did it because..."
Shoto was silent before Shoji stood up as well.
"Because Midoriya needed it. What the band represents is all the repressed expressions Midoriya needed to let out."
Everyone looked at Shoji as he spoke again. "Yes, I'm in the band as well. I play the drums."
Everyone looked at the members, minus Midoriya and Hitoshi before Jiro asked "Well... Mind if we give it a listen?"
Shoto looked at Shoji and Mina whom looked at each other before Shoto sighed. "Let me text him."
Shoto gave Midoriya a quick text, explaining that the rest of the class found out. Shoto asked if it was OK to show them the music.
After a minute, Midoriya answered "Go ahead. I knew this would happen eventually. I'll be there momentarily."
Shoto put his phone away and looked at Jiro. "He'll let you all listen to them."
Jiro walked to the TV and looked at the CDs. "Uh... Which one's the first one?" Mina grabbed the CD with the little girl in the playground and the shadowy man. "This one. This was our very first album and what Midoriya wrote the most."
Mina opened the case and put the disk into the gaming console, because it also doubled as a CD player.
Everyone made it to the couch. Well except for Bakugo.
Shoto took a deep breath "Before we start, just keep in mind that everything you hear is for Midoryia. This is meant to be therapy for him. So please reserve judgement. You don't have to enjoy the music, but it's for him."
Everyone nodded as they understood.
Shoto pressed play and the screen showed the beginning of KoRn.
Are you ready?
