I must have a pain tolerance of a beast because I legit forgot that my dumbass broke my finger. The only reason I remembered it is because Iida came up to me and lectured me about it.
Obviously, I didn't listen. However, when Aizawa realized that I had a broken finger, he handed me a slip to see Recovery Girl!
I haven't seen her since the last time I broke my limbs, and I have been spamming her phone with random shit! Mostly food, though.
Is it bad that I prefer texting her over All Might? Like, I'm aware she can kick my ass, but maybe that's what makes me want to talk to her. All Might is a pansy to me. I guess it makes sense.
I knock on RG's door, and I enter when I receive an answer.
Obviously, I have to be special, "Guess who's back? Back again?"
Recovery Girl immediately whacks me on the head with a cane, but compared to a broken finger, that's nothing, "Why are you sending me pictures of food at three in the morning?! You should be sleeping!" At that time, yes.
"Sleep is for the weak!"
She sighs, "You need sleep for energy for me to heal you. What did you do this time?"
"I broke my finger! I think that's an improvement over three whole limbs!" I say with excitement as I show her my broken finger.
"Or you could not break anything," Recovery Girl grumbles as she kisses my finger, causing it to heal. She hands me an energy gummy bear, and I eat it without a problem.
"I could, but I haven't figured that out yet. All Might isn't much help, and, no offense, but the notes you sent me are vague. It's like I didn't obtain All Might's quirk but instead a bootlegged version of it."
"That's understandable, dear. However, you need to figure out something. I can't heal you forever."
"I mean, doesn't breaking bones makes your bones stronger- OW!"
"Don't even try it, young man! I get you're wonky in the head but if you even attempt that, I will be required to send you to an asylum!"
"I've been asking for a therapist for the last three years, so you can't blame me."
"It's called self-control."
"You know my texting habits."
"Speaking of, I will have to block you if you keep texting me so early in the morning unless it's an emergency."
"Then why were you up?" She has the nerve to glare at me.
"You woke me up. Now, I don't mind the company. In fact, I appreciate it even though I didn't expect it from you of all people. Just keep it at a reasonable time. You are a hero-in-training, so you need as much rest as you can get!"
"Alright, alright, I can do that."
"Good. Now don't injure yourself and get back to class!"
"I'll try my best! Thank you for the help!" With a bright smile and a wave, I head out to search for my classroom.
I was blessed when I came back to see Present Mic as my English teacher. After a quick introduction (and a high-five from him!), he told me that everyone was writing whatever they want in English to give an idea of where they are.
I am happy to note that I'm good in English! I can have an intelligent conversation in English and write if needed.
However, there is something I excel at; song lyrics.
More specifically, I write down any song lyrics that come to mind from musicals.
Heathers? I got you!
Beetlejuice? Uh-huh!
Legally Blonde? Yes, that is a musical, and uh-huh!
And I am not forgetting about the shining star of them all: Hamilton!
When the time is up, I drop an entire stack of musical lyrics on his desk, causing Present Mic to look at me strange. When he picks up my stack and reads the first page, I knew we had a connection when he bursts out laughing and slams his head on the desk, gaining and concerned looks from students.
"YES, MIDORIYA, YES! YOU'LL SURVIVE JUST FINE IN HERE!" Present Mic practically yells as he struggles to recover. It takes him a while, but eventually we were moved to talking to other students in English. He would rearrange us based on how well we were doing in conversation.
Being the chatty little brat I am, I have no problem with this. Though, I'm sure the students are judging me based on the topic of choice: food.
I don't know what you expect.
Despite Present Mic clearly hearing me curse, he doesn't stop me. I guess because most of the students did not recognize it. It's not a priority word for most.
When you listen to musicals, it is, so it works for me!
Eventually, Present Mic's class has to end, and he waves and Midnight, the +18 hero takes his place. (Don't ask me how she is allowed to teach in a high school.)
I will tell you know that things only go south from here.
Midnight teaches Modern Hero Art History, and I have no idea why we need this, or what this is for. How is this going to help me in the future? Like, I get costume design is important and all, but this isn't something I need to dedicate an hour of life to every day.
Next is Ectoplasm, the alien that got saved from Area 51. Okay, maybe that's a bit harsh, but he looks like one, so it's close. He teaches math.
...NEXT!
Finally, we have the grey lego dude Cementoss. NOW THIS IS WHERE THE TEA STARTS STIRRING! He teaches Modern Literature, and usually don't give a fuck about this class. I take the book home, read it then where I don't have to hear the fuckers talk, and return the next day and destroy whatever quick they force upon us. I didn't listen to my teachers at all, which is where half my infractions come from at least.
Logically, I pass out from boredom...for a short period of time.
"Midoriya, please step outside and wait, " Cementoss says however long later. Damn, already getting kicked out? I grab my stuff (I don't trust Kacchan or anybody else with it.) and leave without hesitation. I get I should provide a good impression, but that's called lying, and I was told lying was bad.
Bad by the teachers who always found a way to get me in trouble, but I digress. I rather give Cementoss the whole show now instead of surprising him later.
I sit beside the door and decide to take the time to work on homework. It's basically filling out contact information for the teacher's to find your parents easier, so that should only take a couple minutes. I ain't wasting my time out here. I could sleep on the floor, as you're probably thinking, but the floor uncomfy. That desk was very comfortable.
.
.
.
I'm done!
How long have I been out here? Not really caring anymore, I pull out my phone to see it has been ten minutes!
I don't like sitting still for long at all. Remember when I said I'm likely to be kicked out the first day? This is why. Despite being in trouble, my mind goes 'hey, let's go explore!' I have no self-control to stop that, so I leave the door in favoring of learning about my surroundings. After all, if I become a vigilante and ever need to break in, that's an advantage for me!
From walking around, this place is bigger than I imagined. And more confusing, so I have no idea how I will get back. Though, I guess that won't be an issue if I get expelled. Might as well enjoy my time now!
Eventually, I manage to find the most beautiful place in the world. I found the cafeteria! I don't need to know where my classrooms are! I just need the cafeteria!
As I wander through it, I notice the line (with no people. This place is empty) where I can see the hero Lunch Rush, a hero in a full chefs outfit, moving around boxes.
I don't know what I'm doing when I approach the line, "Hey, do you need help?" I take in the situation, "You're trying to get all the supplies in one place, right? I can help move them if you would like."
Lunch Rush looks toward me and tilts his head in confusion. He doesn't like to talk then. I can work with that.
"I got kicked out. I'm expecting to be expelled anyway, so it's not the biggest deal in the world. Can I help?"
Lunch Rush examines me for a moment before nodding and pointing towards the direction to get to the other side. I go through a gate and immediately wash my hands. I may be hallucinating, but I swear he looks excited about the part that I washed my hands. Is it surprising that I have hygiene?
From there, Lunch Rush silently starts bossing me around of where to put boxes and stuff like that. Meanwhile, I start filling the silence by talking about food and other random things. He doesn't signal for me to shut up or anything, so I guess he doesn't mind. It doesn't take too long for the job to be done, and he gives me a thumbs up as thanks.
"No problem! You need help with anything else?"
Lunch Rush looks around and shakes his head. Then, he points behind me. I turn around to find Aizawa leaning against the doorway.
Aizawa sighs as he pinches the bridge of his nose, "Sorry, Lunch Rush. I hope he didn't cause too much trouble here."
Lunch Rush shakes his head. Then, he points at the boxes, then me, and gives a thumbs up.
"He helped?"
Lunch Rush nods.
"That's something. Come on, Midoriya. Thank you for watching over him, "Aizawa tells him as he waits for me to move. After waving to Lunch Rush, I leave the kitchen area with Aizawa behind him.
Logically, the first thing I ask is, "Can we skip the paperwork, have me hand over my keycard, and force me to go home so I can start my illegal lifestyle? I already been through this process a million times. I don't need to see UA's version of it."
"I'll explain when we get to my office. You're not getting expelled, though."
"Why not?"
"Cementoss expected that to happened." What?
"Then why didn't he just deal with me right there?!"
Aizawa doesn't give me anymore answers until we arrive at his office. He sits at his messy desk while I sit in the chair in front of him.
Aizawa watches me while he explains, "He didn't think you would walk off. He knew you would try to sleep. The reason he pulled you out of the class is because he wanted to explain that you can do that as long as you do your work and not disturb the class." I feel like there is some sort of plot armory going on here.
"What's the catch?"
"There is none. We know you have potential, and we looked over what you go in trouble for in the past, so we know what to expect. If you get the job done correctly, we don't care. It's when you start shit we will."
"That's surprising. Does that mean I'm not in trouble?"
"You are because you went against a teacher's order. Week of detention with me."
"Alright then."
"Starting today. Make sure you let whoever you live with know."
"Now that's just a rip-off."
"Should have thought of that before wandering off, problem child."
"To be fair, I thought I was getting expelled."
"If you were to get expelled, I get to arrest you for suspicion of illegal activities due to what you said earlier. By being here, I can at least keep an eye on you." I can get arrested for that? Most people wouldn't care. He must hate me that much.
"You make me sound like I'm the worst kid you have dealt with."
"You are. Now shut up and do your homework. I'm not letting you out until lunch."
"Offended! Also, I did it when Cementoss-sensei shoved me out."
"Then write a report for why it's wrong to disobey a teacher's order. Due before lunch. If I'm not satisfied or you don't do it, that's an extra day of detention."
"Rude!"
"I can add one for that."
MAN, HE'S HARSH!
Thankfully, my report was good enough to avoid detention, so that's something.
It's the last class of the day, and I am already dreading it. Why?
It's Hero Class, which means I have to deal with All Might.
Don't get me wrong: I like Yagi, and I respect All Might AS A HERO! I'm still totally against All Might for being a teacher.
What makes the situation worst is that when I was about to leave, Aizawa told me that if I caused All Might trouble, he was in charge of dealing with me. Basically, I get another week of detention if I snap at this man.
As someone who casually throws garbage at him once a week at least, that's not a good thing.
"I AM COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"
Oh.
Dear.
God.
All Might, why? Also, why is he in his silver age suit and why do I know that? Wait, that last question is because I watched every All Might movie just to find chances to bully him on it. That's also why my English is probably nice as a lot of the movies are in English only. All Might was in America for a while, so it's expected, but it's also still annoying.
The students absolutely marvel at him.
Meanwhile, I'm here questioning why he is here, and I can tell he sees it, but he ignores it in favoring of the class, "TODAY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE ONE STEP CLOSER TO BECOMING HEROES WITH YOUR HERO COSTUMES!" All Might presses the button, and the wall pulls out to reveal 20 suitcases, each numbered to the respected seat, "EVERYONE GET DRESSED AND HEAD TO FIELD C!" With that, he zooms off.
Oh boy. I could easily start a fight right now, and he wouldn't know it. Not that I am going to.
I grab my suitcase first and head to the lockers.
I would first like to mention that the levels of petty I have are so astronomical that the flaws outweigh the benefits, but I still do shit anyway. I did it with my hero costume. I plan on changing it later, but it will work for now. However, based on the outfit, the support crew definitely pulled through.
I am a green bunny version of All Might. I'm basically making a mockery of him. Unfortunately, they told us to keep it basic for now, so I have a version simple bunny design with basic protection.
As soon as I get the chance, I'm upgrading, but I'm content for now.
Hip hop, motherfuckers!
As I am likely to get lost, I wait for the boys to get dressed. It's like watching a bunch of girls play dress-up as they gush to each other about how cool they look. Looks of the costume really don't matter too much for me. As long as they are functional, you can put me in a thong, and I can work it.
Finally, we head to the field. Along the way, we meet up with the girls, squad up, and arrive at the field all at once. Even I am one to admit that we look badass as we enter the stage. Turns out, this is the city for the entrance exam.
All Might looks over all of the other students until he sees me, the green bunny. He looks away, flustered. I say my goal is complete.
It takes him a moment to recover, "YOU ALL LOOK FANTASTIC! NOW, IT'S TIME FOR YOUR TASK!" GOD, PLEASE TELL ME HE ISN'T-
KILL ME! THIS MAN JUST PULLED OUT A FLASHCARD TO READ OFF OF! COME, ON, MAN!
All Might can't hear the war in my head, "Inside this building, there is a nuclear bomb that needs to be taken down. Everyone will be broken down into pairs of heroes and villains! Villains need to protect the bomb or capture the heroes while the heroes need to capture the bomb or the villains! This will be decided randomly, so when you pull a card with a letter, find your partner with the same one! Any questions?!"
Yeah, that's a lot of questions. I can't even distinguish who is who. Loudmouths.
Uh, isn't this a bit early for us? Shouldn't we learn how to beat each other up first? The frog lady, Tsu, asks the same question out loud for me, and All Might notices. All he says is, "You'll have to eventually! Might as well start now!"
That's not how this works. That's like giving a child a gun and saying 'you'll have to use it eventually! might as well start practicing now!' No. You teach the child how to use a gun responsibly before actually giving them the gun. Same situation. Another great example is Kacchan. He was given explosions and never taught how to use them, so he uses them to explode me.
So yeah, teach kids before throwing them in the wild.
Iida interrupts my thought process, "Wouldn't it be better if we choose our partners, sir?!"
Yaoyorozu, the human-version of Walmart I talked about before, answers, "It's common for heroes to have to work with heroes from other agencies, so it's better for us to get used to it now instead of later."
All Might nods in agreement, "She is right! You don't always get to work with who you want! Besides, you will be with your fellow classmates for the next three years, so it's best for you to be able to work with as many of them as possible!" True. That's the first logical thing I heard from him, like, ever. Actually, second if you include the idea of cleaning the beach. Though, I will say that him talking about teamwork is hypocritical because he RARELY works with other heroes. He doesn't even have a sidekick like most!
Wait, he did. Some salt happened so now he doesn't, but you get what I mean.
Eventually, we draw letters, and I am paired with Uraraka! I can work with that! She's the only person in here that doesn't seem to judge me! I know this because she invited me to eat lunch with her despite Iida's protest!
Everyone gets their letters, and All Might announces the first pairing, "Team D will be the heroes and Team A will be the villains!"
Uraraka and I are Team D. Lame. I wanted to be a villain! Now, who's Team A-?
Oh, this is going to be a show to remember! BRING OUT THE TEA!
Team A is Kacchan and Iida!
"Team A, please take this bomb and place it where ever you want in the building! From there, the teams have ten minutes to strategize! Good luck to you both! Everyone else, follow me!" All Might announces as he leads the students somewhere else. Kacchan and Iida enter the building carrying a fake bomb, and Uraraka and I stay out.
I face Uraraka.
"Okay, so here's the plan: we are going to fuck them up so hard that not even God will know what to do when we win this!"
"Got it!"
