Friendly Foreign Dimensional Exchange Student Spider-Man!: Academia
First Taste of Popularity
The sound of the bell rings throughout the building, signaling the end of the school day. For class 1-A, it was the end of their lesson with Ectoplasm, he holds his subject books being the first to be ready to leave.
"That will be all, students. See you again tomorrow, and good luck with your training for the U.A. Sports Festival."
"Yes, sir." All the students respond.
Ectoplasm leaves his desk and opens the sliding door, exiting the classroom. Peter quickly places his books into the school bag, already finishing his packing as he fast walks to the doorway.
"Hey Parker, where you going? What's the rush?" Izuku asks, Peter stops.
"I'm just heading to the Development Studio to check on my destroyed costume. I will be there for a while, so bye everyone!"
Everyone except Katsuki says their goodbyes to the American boy as he is the second to leave. The rest of the students also get up and begin packing their schoolbags to go home.
"Hmm… his shiny costume? What exactly happened to it?" Yuga wonders with a hand on his chin.
"Well, Aoyama. After the U.S.J. attack, All-Might had to forcibly rip open Parker's gear so it would be easier for the emergency team to treat him." Momo responds.
"Yeah, I saw it too, that sucks. I wonder if Support can even fix it with how damaged it was." Rikido says doubtfully.
"I don't see why not. With how well renowned the department is, I'm sure they can repair it. With much needed time, of course." She answers to him confidently.
"Still, I thought our first encounter with villains will be when we reach our 2nd or 3rd year. Never did I thought it could happen in our first few weeks." Tsuyu chimes in with a finger on her chin.
"Oh! I completely forgot! Did you guys watch the news last night?" Toru asks all of them, they react to the question.
"The news about the U.S.J.? I did." Replies Mashirao.
"It was so cool that we got a few seconds of screen time. Though I bet nobody noticed me hanging out in the background." She slumps her shoulders in disappointment.
"Probably not." Mezo responds honestly.
"Well… it is difficult to stand out when your just gloves and shoes." Mashirao adds hesitantly.
"We're totally celebrities now. Look at how those news channels love us." Speaks up Denki, holding his schoolbag with both hands behind his back.
"Yeah. It's kinda crazy, right?" Eijiro responds.
"I'm not sure about that…"
Everyone looks to Izuku, who's now standing and holding his packed school bag.
"I watched the news too, but they talked about what happened at the facility, there was barely anything about us."
"Midoriya's right, "The Hero Course that pumps out Pro Heroes was attacked." and that's all the media care about." Kyoka speaks up.
"We were all handed a horrifying fate… but we all managed to beat it in the end." Proclaims Fumikage in his usual dark tone.
"Hey, I say we all forget about that U.S.J. stuff. Because now we need to concentrate on the festival!" Ochaco announces with a fist up high, she is at the front row of seats with her friends Tenya and Izuku also prepared to exit.
"Miss Uraraka's absolutely right, we can't cloud ourselves with what happened to us before. It is now time for us to prepare for the Sports Festival, we need to show everyone excellent sportsmanship not just to the spectators but to our future employers as well." The glasses boy agrees.
"So good luck with training everyone, and see you tomo-!"
Ochaco's goodbye is cut off when she sees in shock an unexpected blockage coming from the classroom entrance.
"What the heck is that?" Mezo stares in confusion.
The rest of Class 1-A look to see that the doorway is now filled with lots of students from different courses looking inside, some are holding up phones to take pictures of the Hero Course students while a few are speaking to their friends or classmates.
"Um… why the heck are you all here?!" Ochaco shouts out.
"Do you all have some sort of business with our class?" Tenya questions to the crowd.
"I don't get it, why are they blocking our exit like this?!"
"They're scouting out the competition, Deku. Since we're the class that survived a real villain attack, they want to see us with their own eyes." Katsuki answers.
With no hesitation, he continues to walk, getting closer to the large group of students. This makes Tenya look at the explosion boy in utter disbelief that he is not showing any sign of decency towards them, making Izuku try to comfort his tall friend.
"Let's just hope he doesn't explode anybody, Iida…"
The ash-blond stops, arriving face to face to the crowd.
"At least you now know what a future pro looks like. So move it, extras."
Katsuki's sudden intimidation horrifies the three students behind him.
"You can't walk around calling other students "extras" just because you don't know who they are! And please don't antagonize them or they'll think we're a bunch of degenerates!" Tenya loudly criticizes him.
"So, this is class 1-A huh? I heard you guys were impressive, but you sound like egomaniacs."
The male voice of one of the students stops the murmuring of everyone else, the boy slowly gets through the packed spectators and manages to be at the very front. He is young with messy, indigo-colored hair, and has very dark eye bags underneath his half-closed eyes.
"Tell me something, is everyone in the hero course this delusional, or is it just you?"
His question makes the three behind Katsuki respond in full-on silent disagreement, while the boy in question reacts menacingly.
"How sad to come here and get a reaction like this. I, Hitoshi Shinso, like many others, wanted to be in the hero course as well. But I was forced to choose a different track, such is life. I didn't cut it the first time around, but now I have another chance. In case you Hero Course people didn't know: if any of us do well in the sports festival, the teachers can decide to transfer us to your group, and they'll, on the other hand, have to move one of you unlucky ones to make room."
Most of the class 1-A stiffens after hearing that.
"What?! You gotta be kidding?!" Denki and Mina react in shock.
"Seriously, didn't you two read the Hero Course guidelines properly?!" Tenya asks them.
"He's right though, we could possibly have new classmates, but only if any of us is transferred out due to performing horribly not only at the festival but also in their Hero Couse studies." Izuku exposits. Electro boy and acid girl react with gulps.
"Oh yeah? Well, don't you dare think of me getting kicked out, none of you assholes will ever take my place here!" Announces Katsuki while doing the throat slit sign.
"So full of yourself much? While some of my peers are scouting the competition, I, on the other hand, is here to let you know that if you don't bring your very best, I'll steal your spot right from under you. Consider this a declaration of war class 1-A." Hitoshi announces to them.
While the three friends behind Explosion Boy look in bewilderment in how direct this guy is, the indigo-haired boy looks around again, noticing that someone is missing inside the classroom.
"Also, I noticed that not everyone here is present. Where's the foreigner?"
His question makes the crowd of students return to mutter to each other, wondering who Hitoshi is talking about. But class 1-A knew precisely what this boy is asking for with Katsuki grunting in deep annoyance. Izuku gulps, seeing Kacchan tighten up like a bowstring.
"Gaijin? What's he talking about?"
"There's also an American student here."
"I heard he was first in the Hero Course Entrance Exam." Katsuki can be heard growling.
"Wait, you mean he's not here?!"
"I wanted to ask him on date!"
"Me too!"
"So much for meeting the best Hero Course student." Now the ash-blonde's hand was out of his pocket, flexing.
Izuku had to answer quickly. He could not have one of his classmates inadvertently telling where Peter currently is, or he will have to deal with the same problem as them but all by himself.
He had no choice.
"Um, excuse me…"
Izuku's loud voice causes everyone to eye at him. The freckled boy now feels on edge, having everyone's attention on him but worried if they will believe in what he will convey.
"If… if you're looking for Peter Parker, then I'm sorry… but he's not here. He already went home." Izuku lies to Hitoshi.
This response by their classmate makes most of class 1-A react in confusion. But some of the students quickly understood Izuku's reasoning for deceiving the crowd.
"Huh? Hey, Midoriya what are you-"
Hanta could not finish his sentence as suddenly one of Kyoka's earlobe earphone jacks attacks the inside of his left ear, causing him to twitch erratically.
"Shut it, Sero." Kyoko silently says to him.
The indigo-haired boy responds with a sigh.
"Shame, I too wanted to see this guy in person. Either way, be sure to inform him exactly what I said to you guys. Parker should also be careful of us during the festival."
"Hey, you!"
Then a shout is heard at the back of the group of spectating students. Everyone looks to see a spikey silver-haired boy is the one screaming.
"I'm Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu from class 1-B next door! We heard you fought some villains and I came to see if that was true! But what I see here are a bunch of brats who think you're better than us!"
This causes Tenya, Ochaco, and Izuki to now react in utter dread with how they have become a hated class to these spectators all because of Katsuki's words.
"Talk all you want, and it'll just be more embarrassing when you're K.O.'d!"
But the ash-blond ignores his cries and starts to exit the classroom.
"Hey, don't you ignore me!" Tetsutetsu barks in anger.
"Dude, where are you going? You got to say something! It's your fault that they're all hating on us, Bukugo." Eijiro calls out worryingly.
"These people don't matter, the only important thing is that I beat them. Prove no doubt who is the best."
With that, Katsuki continues walking away to his right. Which the onlookers, in return, let him through. For Izuku at least Kacchan has calmed down... thankfully.
"I'm coming for you, you hear me!" the silver-haired boy barks to the ash-blonde.
"Damn it, I hate that that was such a manly exit." Grunts Eijiro jealously.
"You said it." Rikido agreeing with a hand on his chin.
"We have to beat them, he wasn't wrong about it." Fumikage also chimes in.
"Yeah sure, but this sucks! He made us everyone's enemy!" Denki speaks up, horrified.
"That's right, now all these students will want to put our heads on a platter." Mina agrees in disappointment.

Hitoshi slowly pushes through the pack of spectators still scouting their competition, he finally gets out of it altogether. The indigo haired boy turns to walk left of the hallway, where he notices a short dark purple haired boy is leaning on the wall with his arms crossed. Minoru Mineta looks at him in smiled approval.
"Well done, Shinsho. You probably scared the piss outta them."
"Oh hey, Mineta." Hitoshi responds to his classmate.
Minoru stops leaning and joins with Hitoshi walking together back to their classroom.
"But, I can't believe that American wasn't there." Minoru comments enviously eyes narrowed as he bit his thumb. "Fucking point stealer. I'll never forgive him."
"So, where were you exactly? I thought you wanted to check on class 1-A as well."
"Of course I did, but unlike you and everyone else. I scouted from the left side of the entrance without anyone noticing. I had all the time to analyze the competition without any hindrance."
"And checking under the girl's skirts as well." Hitoshi replies as he rolls his eyes.
This causes Minoru to stop walking and look up at his classmate in shock at his sudden remark. But he then purposely coughs a bit, wanting to change the subject.
"Anyway, you're not the only one who's challenging them. I'm also using this festival to show U.A. I have what it takes! I'll get that transfer and be with those Hero Course girls no matter what!" He announces, clenching his fists. "I've seen what they are, and they're like porn stars compared to the others in our class. With my brain and know-how, they'll be fawning over me when I become a top Pro!"
"Then, let's be prepared Mineta, but I also recommend you be extra careful."
Hitoshi's warning makes Minoru look back at him again with a raised eyebrow.
"Huh? Why me, Shinsho?"
"Well, last I checked, Kujo Rinjo and Takahashi Kiara weren't pleased when someone found a hole in the girl's locker room leading to the boys. They suspect you, and they're gonna take the opportunity to flatten you."
"Oh don't worry buddy, I'll make sure to not get hit even once." Minoru responds in complete confidence. Then he slumps. "Not sure how the hell it got clogged up. Damn the one who found that hole."
They both arrive at their classroom, going inside to retrieve their school bags and head home for the evening.
