It wasn't very long after the first hero training course Robin had that news spread of the new number one in Class 1-A. Robin sighed softly upon hearing people gasp and whisper about her as she made her way towards Midnight's office. She heard whispers about her being Midnight's niece, about being super powerful and being the "New Ace" as people put it. She hadn't meant to stand out but her brain was wired to come out on top. That was her job back by Chrom's side - make sure her side won. In a way, Robin felt bad that she easily beat all of these kids so easily, but then again she had two wars worth of experience behind her. When the end of the day came, Robin bade farewell to her classmates and friends before making her way to Midnight's office. She raps her knuckles on the door and is greeted by the woman she was looking for.
"Hello Robin! Ready to go home?" Midnight asks, grinning upon seeing the purple haired student.
"That I am, but I can wait for you to finish up if need be," Robin answers, being polite. Midnight chuckles.
"Just let me grab my stuff and we can head out," Midnight says. Robin nods and she waits, leaning against the wall. Midnight ducks back into her office and cleans up her stuff so that she and her "niece" could head back home. Closing the door behind her, the R rated hero starts walking out of the school, the Ylissean tactician following right behind her. The tactician ignored the whispers that were floating around but noticed a spark in Midnight's eyes. Robin sighs, knowing that the woman with her was going to definitely ask questions about the whispers. They walk to the car and each get in, pulling on seatbelts and Midnight starting the car. "So how was your first day at hero school?"
"It was... something, that's for sure," Robin answers. "Some of the subjects are interesting though. Nothing we had back in Ylisse."
"Do you like UA?"
"I like it enough to not hate it... But I do regret showing off a bit..."
"Something happen in hero training I take it? Considering I heard whispers about you being the so-called 'New Ace' when we were leaving?"
"Yeah. It was a cooperation exercise and I lead my team to victory, easily putting Katsuki into his place."
"Well don't feel bad. Hero training is supposed to help you achieve your best. Besides, it's just like you said when you talked about your past - you've fought in two wars!"
"I know.. I just didn't want to attract all this attention to myself," Robin huffs. Midnight laughs a bit at seeing the ever so serious Robin huff.
"Oh that reminds me, since you came late into the semester obviously, you need to pick your hero name!" Midnight says. Robin blinks.
"A hero name? Like how you're Midnight?" Robin asks, arching an eyebrow.
"Yup! I'm known as the 18+ Only Hero: Midnight," the older purple haired female answers, chuckling a bit. Robin nods.
"I see..." Robin hums out. She thinks about what would be a suiting name for her. "Well if I need a title like that then... The Tactician Hero: Grandmaster."
"Oooo~ Fancy~" Midnight grins at Robin, causing said girl to blush lightly.
"Not really... I just used my two classes to form my name. I started as a Tactician and eventually was promoted to Grandmaster with all my hard work," Robin says humbly. Midnight laughs.
"One more question for you Robin," Midnight says, glancing at the Ylissean next to her.
"And that would be?" Robin asks, arching a purple eyebrow.
"Is it true that you're calling me Auntie Nem?" the 18+ Hero asks, causing Robin to pale a bit.
"...Uh... No..." Robin lies, sweatdropping a bit. Midnight laughs.
"You're a horrible liar Robin! But that's so sweet~ I feel closer to you already!" the darker purple haired woman coos.
"You remind me of Frederick... And not in a good way.." the lighter purple haired female groans, shoving her face into her hands. Deciding to spare Robin from further embarrassment, Midnight turns on the radio for the rest of the car ride home. Robin appreciates that Midnight was finally letting off on the smothering. It was only as Midnight pulled into the driveway that Robin realized she had no one's contacts except for the four teachers, but shrugs it off. She reminded herself that it was better that she only had necessary contacts so she could go home easier when a way was found. Robin walks to her room and changes into a set of comfy clothes before grabbing a book and flopping onto the bed. Robin enjoyed the rest of her evening reading, pausing only when she needed to use the bathroom or eat dinner. The tactician eventually falls asleep with the book covering her face.
The next morning, Robin was dreading walking through the doors of UA considering she had built a name for herself - Midnight's niece and the new Ace. Steeling herself for the unwanted attention, Robin walks through the gates of UA, parting ways from Midnight. It did not surprise her that many General Course, Support Course and even some Hero Course students began to flood around her. They were all clamoring to get to know her, everyone shooting off questions. The purple haired female did her best to ignore everyone but eventually she has to politely ask people to leave her alone. A good portion do, albeit a bit sheepishly. Robin's grey eyes give a stern glare to those that still lingered after she asked everyone politely to leave. The tactician was glad to see her glare still did the same trick and she heads on her merry little way to her class when she hears an obnoxious laugh behind her.
"This the new Ace? How EMBARRASSING! I bet they only let you win out of pity for losing your parents!" a blonde boy says. Robin turns around calmly.
"And who might you be?" Robin asks, giving a fake smile to the blonde.
"I am the brilliant Neito Monoma! You will remember my name and know that one day I will overpower you and all of 1-A!" Neito proclaims.
"Not a memorable name but sure. Good luck with that chump," Robin says before starting to turn to walk away. Neito reaches out towards Robin, activating his Quirk to try to copy this supposed Magic Quirk. Robin notices out of the corner of her eye and ducks out of the way. "Trying to lay a hand on me without my permission? What a disgrace," she sneers.
"You're the disgrace here! You only got into 1-A cause your Auntie teaches them! People like you, using your connections are disgusting!" Neito taunts, a faint crazy look appear in his eyes. Robin scowls at the blonde and approaches, the look on her face darkening. She was NOT about to be told that she didn't belong in 1-A, while in this world, after fighting two wars and sacrificing herself! She worked her way to the level of skill she had and she was not going to listen to some punk slander her. If Chrom and Frederick taught her anything, it was to defend her honor and this kid was slandering that honor.
"I proved that I belong in 1-A you absolute walnut," Robin hisses. "You want to test your luck against me? Then I'll gladly show you where the Naga damned door is," the tactician threatens, orange casting runes starting to form around her hands. Neito immediately backed off from Robin, seeing the casting runes and the sudden and extreme change in demeanor. The blonde just turns and leaves, not wanting to deal with the pissed off transfer. Robin waited for Neito to completely go away before taking a few breaths to calm herself and running a hand through her purple bangs. That was probably going to spark yet another talk about her. Shaking her head, the tactician just heads into her classroom and goes to her seat. She sits down and pulls out her book and immerses herself into the fictitious world. She was aware of the others entering and taking their seats, only nodding in acknowledgement when someone actually said hi. Upon feeling eyes bore into her, her grey eyes look up and see heterochromatic ones boring into her. She arches a purple eyebrow in a silent question.
"You're annoyed," Shouto states bluntly. Robin blinks at the statement.
"How did you know?" Robin asks.
"There's an angry fire in your eyes and your body language says it all."
"I see. Thought by reading a book, no one could tell."
"What pissed you off?"
"Some asshat named Neito Monoma."
"Ah, so you finally and unfortunately met him."
"I take it he's likes that to everyone?"
"Only to us in 1-A. He thinks he's better than all of us."
"So what you're saying is that he's a salty little shit about not getting into 1-A."
"Yup," Shouto says. It was all he could say as the class bell rung and Aizawa rises from his sleeping bag like a zombie. As Robin got her stuff out for the day, she inwardly curses as she could feel a bond forming with Shouto. She knew she needed to keep it at acquaintances if she wanted to get out of here with no problems. With a sigh, she focuses on what Aizawa was telling them.
The school day was long and not even Hero Training made the day fun. Sure it was nice to let out her anger and annoyance from that morning out but it still made the entire school day suck. At lunch, she had reluctantly let Shouto, Tenya, Deku and Ochako put their numbers into her phone. This eventually allowed her to get the rest of 1-A's numbers when Ochako put her into the 1-A group chat that had been created. She was staring at her phone and the group chat, wondering if there would be a way that something like this could be made back in Ylisse. If she could ever get back, she would try to find one of the many Anna's and see if there would be a way to get her to work with Miriel on making something like the phone. Robin was startled out of her thoughts when she felt a warm hand on her shoulder and she looks up, seeing Shouto.
"Are you busy this afternoon?" Shouto asks, removing his hand.
"No, I'm not," Robin answers. "Why do you ask?"
"I was thinking we could hang out and work on homework," Shouto says. Robin feels her phone buzz and looks at the message. It was from Midnight saying that she had a bunch of meetings that afternoon and that Robin should explore in the meantime.
"Well, since Auntie Nem is going to be in meetings for the afternoon, I suppose I'll take you up on that offer," Robin answers, gathering her things. "Just us?"
"Yeah, just us if that's okay with you," Shouto nods. Robin thinks about it for a moment. While on one hand she didn't want to get closer to Shouto, if she went with only Shouto, she doesn't have to risk getting closer to more people.
"That's fine. Got a place in mind?" Robin says, hoisting her bag onto her shoulder.
"A small little tea shop," Shouto answers. Robin nods and follows Shouto out of 1-A and out of UA. The tactician was glad that Nezu told her about the trains should she ever need to use them as they were a common way of transportation. Robin mimicked what Shouto did as to not seem like she was out of place. A few curves caused her to stumble a bit to the side since she and Shouto had to stand on the train. Eventually the train came to the stop that Shouto wanted and he leads Robin off the train.
"Oh wow, it's really pretty out here," Robin comments. The heterochromatic eyed boy nods in agreement, thinking that Robin was even prettier.
"Right over here. Get whatever you want, my treat," Shouto says, gesturing to the menu.
"Shouto, I couldn't do that.." Robin says.
"Nope. I asked you out here so I'll pay," Shouto says. Besides, he was spending the old bastard's money. Robin looks at Shouto for a minute before sighing and giving in.
"Fine," Robin says before looking at the menu. Once she knew what she wanted, the two go up and place their order. They waited about five minutes for their drinks to be made before finding a table off to the side. They set their drinks down and after sitting down, they pull their homework out of their bags to start working. They made small talk and helped each other whenever possible. Robin was pleased with herself when she was doing fine with her homework despite not living in Japan. Obviously it wasn't up to her standards but until she was in Japan long enough, she was not going to be too harsh on herself.
Shouto felt himself slowly forming what he was told is called a crush on Robin. The purple haired female was smart, didn't seem to care that Endeavor was his father, willingly hung out with him when she could have said no and he knew that she was kind-hearted despite the cold wall she put up. Of course, he thought she was beautiful, even more than Momo. The study date came to end far sooner than Shouto would have liked but obviously, he did not push it. It did make him happy that Robin allowed him to walk her home. After walking Robin to her place, Shouto headed home with an actual smile on his face and not even the thought of his father's shouting and who knows what else could wipe the smile off of his face.
