Winter glances at the other four with her, tapping her fingers on her thigh. Momo sat next to her looking completely calm, only her nervous tic of messing with her bangs showing she isn't. Katsuki sat to Winter's right, calmly typing on his phone with a small frown and his foot tapping on the ground. Izuku was a nervous wreck while sitting next to Momo, muttering every once in a while until Katsuki growled at him. Shōto was as blank and as tense as before, not revealing how nervous he was–if he was at all.
"Do you have any idea why Nezu-Sensei would call all five of us to meet him?"
Momo asks quietly, looking around the empty hallway. Winter shrugs as she focuses on drawing the costume sketch she was working on.
"Maybe it's about that test our class took," Winter suggests, taking out an eraser.
"That is correct, Lady Winter!" Nezu speaks up cheerfully, making Momo and Izuku jump. "I apologise for the wait, I had to get a few affairs in order. Come in!"
Nezu opens his door while the five teenagers stand up. Winter walks in first, followed by Katsuki, Momo, Izuku, and Shōto.
"To be honest, I was only interested in Lady Winter–which is why I gave your class the test–but you four surprised me!" The animal principal exclaims as he walks towards his desk.
"Then why the fuck are we here?" Katsuki asks, hands in his pockets and back slouched. Winter's nose slightly wrinkles in displeasure, but doesn't say anything.
"Because, I want to personally teach you all," Nezu states with a cheerful smile.
"What?" Winter stares at the principal for a few moments, mouth slightly open.
"I'm sorry, you would like to teach the five of us? In what?" Winter asks politely. Nezu chuckles and waves a hand in dismissal.
"Before I can tell you why, you have to prove to me that all of you can handle it–if you agree of course." Nezu laughs at the hesitant expressions everyone held. "Next week, you will have your first lesson. After school. If you don't like it, you can leave but you won't be able to come back. If you stay for a few more lessons, you can't leave until the end of the year."
"That doesn't give us much of a choice, Nezu-Sensei," Winter states dryly, face blank.
Nezu's smile widens. "Simmons-san has told you stories about me. When have I ever given an easy choice?"
Winter doesn't break eye contact with the principal before she calmly stands up. "What day next week?"
"Wednesday. You all will meet me in my office!" Nezu exclaims cheerfully. The white haired teenager gives a small nod before leaving the room.
"Are you all joining h–"
The door closes after Winter.
"Who is Simmons?" Shōto asks after walking over to Winter. She jumps slightly, about to tie her mask around her face. It was the day after the surprise meeting with Nezu and Winter had finally gotten a decent amount of sleep. It was also the day Class 1-A would be going on a trip.
"The principal of Baton Academy for Heroes. Principal Simmons Marjorie. She used to be one of Mama's personal hero models and had recommended Nezu to be UA's principal when he had been a candidate for the position," Winter explains with a small smile before she ties on her mask like a headband.
Shōto hums, glancing down at his phone. "Fuyumi wants to meet you. She's invited you and Whitney for dinner Sunday, with my father's permission."
"Oh?" Winter turns to give him a surprised look Her face splits into a bright smile as she clasps her hands together.
"Really? Oh, that would be wonderful! Let me make sure Sissy is free! What time?" She exclaims brightly, making Shōto turn his face away, a faint blush appearing on his cheeks.
"Would 6:00 work? Father's home by then and Natsuo's visiting from his university." The stoic boy goes back to staring at his phone. Winter giggles and nods her head, smiling even brighter.
"That would be perfect." Winter takes out her phone and unlocks her messenger app.
Sissy:
"Shōto has invited me and you to dinner with his family! Are you free Sunday at 6:00?"
"Yes. Good luck on your training!"
The white haired teenager puts up her phone and gives her cousin a thumbs up. "She says she is free! Thank you for the invite."
"Everyone, quiet. We're here." Shōta interrupts all conversations, standing in front of the door. Winter gasps lightly as she peers out of the window. The dome was so large!
The class bursts into excited whispers while they exit the bus, making their way to the entrance.
"Quite a magnificent structure. I wonder what is inside?" Winter inspects what she could from where she stood.
"Everyone, I've been waiting for you!" The white haired teenager blinks in surprise at the hero standing in front of the entrance with Ringo behind them. It's Thirteen. Holy–
"Oh my God, it's Thirteen!" She whispers in awe, making Momo giggle.
"Let's go inside without delay," Thirteen says with a wave of their hand.
The class bursts out in excitement. "Look forward to working with you!" Some bow, including Winter and Momo. They all quickly enter, buzzing in awe and excitement.
"A shipwreck, a landslide, a fire, a windstorm, et cetera–" Thirteen raises their arms from their side "–It is a training ground that I made with different types of accidents and disasters. It's called the Unforseen Simulation Joint, or USJ for short!"
"Is this Universal Studios Japan?!" Winter stares at the magnificent sight of multiple rescue terrain simulations. This was going to be amazing!
Winter sees Thirteen raise three fingers, talking quietly with Shōta. Ringo glanced between them in confusion. "What was that about?"
A few moments later, Shōta walks to the side and gives the space hero the stage. "Let's see... Before we begin, let me say one thing–er–or two, or three–or four... five... six... seven..."
"I didn't take Thirteen as the type to give a speech," Momo whispers to her best friend. Winter lightly slaps her arm, stifling her laughter.
"That's rude, Momo-chan!"
"Everyone, I am sure you are aware of my Quirk, Black Hole. I can suck up anything and turn it to dust," Thirteen starts to explain.
"You've been able to use that Quirk to save people from all kinds of disasters, right?" Izuku asks curiously, fingers twitching as if he was mentally taking notes.
"Yes, but it is a power that can kill easily." Some of the more excited students reels back in slight shock. "Some of you have Quirks like that, right?"
"Ooh boy." Winter winces once she realizes which speech this would be. Whitney gave it to her years ago. She sees Ringo wincing as well. He got the same lecture.
"In a superhuman society, personal Quirks have been certified and stringently regulated, so that doesn't seem like a problem at first glance. However, please do not forget that there are many Quirks that can easily kill with one wrong step. With Aizawa's physical fitness test, you found out about the possibility of your own hidden powers, and with All Might's person-to-person combat training, I think you experienced the danger of using those powers against others." Thirteen raises their arms. "This class is a fresh start. You shall learn how to use your Quirks to save people's lives. You do not have powers so you can harm others. I hope you leave here with the understanding that you have powers in order to help others."
"That is all. Thank you for listening," Thirteen ends with a bow. The class tarts clapping and complimenting the teacher's speech. Winter politely claps with a tight smile on her face.
"Some experienced the danger of using your Quirk against another living being before UA," She thinks bitterly, crossing her arms.
Shōta walks back to Thirteen. "All right then, first–"
He's interrupted by electricity malfunctioning the lights. Winter immediately feels the hair on her arms and the back of her neck stand on end. She takes a step closer to Momo, glancing around.
Winter turns her gaze towards the center plaza when a dark purple mist starts to appear. She feels her heartbeat spike as fear courses through her veins.
"Please be a trick..." She wishes while the purple mist explodes out. A pale hand appears through the mist and a man with long, pale blue hair and covered in hands slowly starts to walk out.
"Gather together and don't move!" The students stare at their homeroom teacher with confusion. "Thirteen, protect the students!"
"What's that?" Eijirō wonders quietly as dozens of people start to pour out of the mist. "Is this like the Entrance Exam where the lesson's already started?" He leans forward with Izuku about to take a step.
"Don't move!" Shōta orders loudly. Winter takes a deep breath and glances at Ringo before glancing at Momo.
She really hopes this isn't because she moved to Japan... Putting her friends in danger for her own safety is not something she ever wants to do.
Hey! Hope you like the new chapter! Ooh, I'm pretty sure you guys are gonna hate me for the next few chapters... Sorry not sorry. I have plans for Winter.
Hope you all like the story so far. Bye!
