Chapter 12: A whole new side to oneself

Today's the start of a new week and the start of school. Snow is preparing himself for school and psyches himself up to not freeze up during introductions.

"The only person there that will know me is Saya but other than her everyone else will be new to each other. Just make a strong impression and don't be awkward. I got this." Snow walks out of his room with his school uniform and joins his parents for breakfast. Gekkoukans school uniform consists of a black jacket,white button up shirt, and black pants. He sits next to his mother and father across from him. But before Snow could sit down Saori has a request.

"Snow could stand over there. I want to take a picture of you on your first day." Saori says while pointing toward where she want's Snow to stand.

"Sure mom." Snow stands where he was instructed and Saori takes out her phone and takes a picture. Once done Snow takes his seat and enjoys his breakfast. Hayato notices Snow is awfully quiet and decides to talk to him.

"Hey Snow you ok?"

"Y-yeah dad I'm fine just a bit nervous is all." Saori puts one of her hands on Snow's shoulder and the two make eye contact.

"Don't worry Snow you'll be fine. You'll make tons of friends." Saori finished with a warm smile

"I just don't want to get off on the wrong foot."Hayato starts to talk.

"Well you could only do better than I did." Snow was curious as to what his father meant by that.

"How did your first day of highschool go dad?"

"Uhhh. Don't worry about it, you take after your mother mostly so you'll do just fine." Hayato says with a reassuring smile. "Last thing I need is Snow to start fights with other classmates although some of them did deserve it." Hayato thinks back to the numerous times he's started fights. Most of which were against bullies. They were either bothering him,Kisara or people too weak to defend themselves. Hayato hates people who prey on the weak for no reason. Snow shakes off his fathers somewhat unsettling answer and realizes he's gonna be late for school. Snow quickly finishes his breakfast and grabs his bag from his room. Then gives his mom a quick kiss on the cheek and gives his dad a quick hug and races to the door to put on his shoes. Before Snow opens the door he says goodbye to his parents.

"Bye mom,Bye dad."

"Bye Snow." The two said in unison. Snow opens the door and closes it behind him and runs down the street. As he's running down the street he notices Saya is a ways away so he picks up his speed to catch up to her. Saya hears rapid footsteps behind her and sees Snow running towards her. She stops in her tracks to let him catch up. Once caught up he gives Saya a quick hug and the two continue to walk towards their school.

"So Snow you ready for our first day."

"Ready as I'll ever be. Although we still don't know what's the deal with class 0."

"True but we'll find out soon enough." The two teens continue to walk to their school and before they knew it they were at the school gate. They walk into the building and take out their letters to show the receptionist. The woman began to speak.

"Oh you two must be the last members of class 0. The classroom is on the 3rd floor all the way down the hall. Hope you two enjoy your first day here at gekkoukan and welcome to class 0." The receptionist said with the last part sounding way too enthusiastic for Snow's taste but shrugged it off.

"Thank you very much." The two said with a bow and made their way to the staircase. When they make their way up the stairs they walk down the hall and see various classes labeled with numbers. Starting with 9 and ending with 0. Once they're in front of the door Snow made his way to the handle and was hesitant to open it at first.

"It's ok Snow they're all strangers to me and others this will be fine." Snow opens the door and lets Saya in first and follows behind her. The two are then greeted by an overly energetic girl. She has long,braided,ginger hair and teal eyes. She's also wearing the female school uniform which consists of a black jacket,red bow tie,black skirt and a button up white t-shirt.

"HI!" Snow and Saya were taken back by the sudden high pitch voice but returned her greeting.

"Hi." Snow said while raising his hand for a wave.

"Hello." Saya says while mimicking Snow's greeting with a hand wave. The girl was gonna talk again to say her name but was cut off by the door suddenly opening. All 3 of them look back to see that it was Minato. They all bowed and he did as well and looked at them with smiles. He surveys the small room and thinks to himself.

"Only 12 students this year huh. This should be fun." Minato turns his head back to the 3 students and starts to talk. "Glad to see you guys eager to introduce yourself but first take your seats wherever you like So we can do proper introductions." The 3 students nodded and took their seats. Snow,Saya and the girl all take seats in the middle row while Minato walks towards his desk. The other students catch the person walking to the front desk and quickly get to their seats. Minato standing behind his desk takes a clipboard from his desk and grabs a pen. "So first things first my name is Minato Kirigaya,as for my hero name it'sWraith. Next on the agenda is proper introductions so let's start with the 3 I met at the door. Say your first and last name and quirk. Let's start with you." Minato points at the girl and she stands up.

"Hi, my name is Cinque Toyosaki. It's a pleasure to meet you all. Oh and my quirk is called gaia pulse." Cinque takes her seat and Saya stands up next, ready to introduce herself.

"Hello, My name is Saya Sasaki. I look forward to getting to know all of you and my quirk is called thunder tsar. Saya sits back down and Snow is now feeling the pressure. He quickly stands up and has a moment of silence for what felt like 5 minutes but was only about 10 seconds

"Just say something ALREADY!" Snow opens his mouth. "Hi everyone m-my n-name is Snow Arisato. I hope to get along with all of you and my quirk is called absolute zero." Snow sit's back down and mentally sighs to himself. 'Well that could've gone worse." Minato puts check marks next to their names to signify they're present.

"Alright, anybody want to stand up to introduce themselves?" A boy with short,ruffled red hair and short bangs stood up.

"My name is Flare Izayoi and my quirk is called amaterasu.." He sits back down and Minato thinks to himself.

"No pleasantries, just straight to the point. Curious how you'll develop with my core values." More students one after another started introducing themselves one by one. A boy with short blond hair and light blue eyes stood up.

"Hi, my name is Ace Kaji. I look forward to working with all of you. My quirk is called wild card." Ace said with a calm voice. Next another boy with blond hair but slightly longer than Ace's stood up to introduce himself.

"My name is Trey Nakamura,if you need any help on academics I'll be sure to do my best to help out my fellow classmates. My quirk is called accurate arrow." With a confident smile Trey sat down. Next another boy with blond hair stood up. It's like they were triplets but they definitely weren't related due to various demanors.

"Yo, I'm Jack Suzumura. I was known as the class clown in middle school. Hope to make you all laugh. Oh and my quirk is called enmity." Jack says with a laugh and sits down. Next was the last male in the class. He has black hair and green eyes.

"Hello my name is Machina Kunagiri. I hope to get along with all of you. My quirk is called awakening." He sits back down and it's just the rest of the girls to introduce themselves. One of the girls stands up,she has shoulder length brown hair and red eyes.

"Hi, my name is Rem Tokimiya. It's an honor to meet my fellow classmates. My quirk is called seraphim light." She bows and then sits back down. Next a girl with blue eyes and white hair tied up in a messy ponytail stands up.

"The names Sice Sawashiro and I can be a bit hard on others. I want to push others to their greatest potential so let me know when to dial it back a bit and my quirk is called phantom scythe." Sice sits down and Snow notices that she mentioned a scythe.

"I wonder if she could teach me how to use one properly. She seems approachable enough but I don't want to weird her out on the first day. I'll just let some time pass first before I ask for any help." Snow was broken out of thought when a girl with short auburn hair started talking.

"My name is Cater Chihara. Kinda like Sawashiro I'm not afraid to beat around the bush and I too want to see the best in everyone. My motto is trust your instincts,don't think. My quirk is called charge and dodge oh and I'm an ice elemental." Cater sit's back down and realizes another classmate has something in common with him.

"Maybe it'll be easier than I thought to make new friends." The last girl/last student stood up and introduced herself. She has long brown hair and dark blue eyes. She was hesitant to speak due to her shy nature but forced herself to speak.

"H-hello my name is Deuce Hanazawa. I'm pretty shy but once I get to know you all I'll open up a bit more. My quirk is called concerto." Snow once again finds a similarity in another classmate.

"She's like me. And her quirk is called concerto. It's Italian for concert and it means to harmonize. Curious how her quirk actually works." Deuce sits down and Minato starts to talk.

"Now that everyone is acquainted, time to explain, this class is called class 0. It's called class 0 because 12 out of the 100+ students are at the top of the leaderboards in terms of academics and quirk apprehension." The students are taken back from the statement. Snow couldn't believe he was at the top 12 of 100 students that applied to the hero course.

"I can't wait to tell mom and dad." Saya as well had the same line of thought as Snow and felt an immeasurable amount of pride within herself. Everyone in the class did well minus one. Flare was unamused as if he was already expecting to be in the top. Minato continues to talk.

"So with that knowledge definitely pat yourselves on the back. Believe it or not this is the smallest class I've ever had. Last year's class 0 had about 20 students. Be proud that you 12 stood out to me the most and yes I did handpicked you 12 specifically. I see great potential in you all and I'm extremely excited to say the least that I have the opportunity to teach all of you and mold you into the heroes of tomorrow. Now that we have our pleasantries and praises out of the way I have 3 tests for you all." Everyone groaned from that sentence. Minato laughs at the reaction and continues to talk. "I should've expected that you're all teenagers after all. The 3 tests you'll be taking is one simple written test that shouldn't take no more than an hour."

"Shouldn't take too long and written test shouldn't belong in the same sentence." Saya thought.

"The next two tests will be back to back but that's all for now I'll be passing the tests to the front rows. Take one and pass it down." The students do as they are told and take out writing utensils. Once all of the tests were passed out Minato began to speak. "Obviously no cheating and answer each question to the best of your ability. You may begin." Everyone starts to take their test and they see it's a series of mathematics and hero scenarios. Everyone answers the questions to the best of their abilities and after one grueling hour they're done and are now passing up their tests at the front of the rows so Minato can collect them. Once Minato collects them properly stacks them on his desk and sets them aside.

"So now that's out of the way, everyone get changed into your gym uniforms and follow me outside to the training field." The gym uniforms consisted of an all gray tracksuit with red on the side and white stripes running down the arms. The sweatpants have the same design. "The next 2 tests will be physical. The first one is a basic series of exercises to see where you guys are at and the next one will be a test of your combat abilities. It'll be similar to what you went through in the entrance exams but make no mistake if you found that easy you're in for a rude awakening." The class was left to wonder what Minato meant by that last sentence. They all collectively shake it off and follow Minato out of the classroom. Before Snow gets up he stuffs his gloves in his back pant pocket and follows the rest of the class. Once they change they head outside and see an open field with an obstacle course presumably to be used for their test. Minato stands in front of his group of students to speak.

"So as you guys can see that obstacle course will be a part of your basic exercise test but first we'll go through the other exercises. Buddy up with someone and get ready to start." Naturally most students didn't know who to pair up with since they all just met each with the exception of Snow and Saya. Saya and Snow stand next to each other waiting to start. Everyone just asks others if they are ok with partnering up and everyone finds their partner. "Good now that all of you are partnered up we'll start with push ups. One will do push ups for 3 minutes while the other counts so get ready."

"I'll go first Saya and don't worry about counting ok." Saya was baffled at first but just went along.

"Alright, ready. Set. Go." Minato starts the timer on his stop watch and everyone starts to do push ups at a normal speed minus Snow and Flare. They were going at faster speed than everyone else. To them this was lightwork. If no one knew what was going on they would think that 2 boys were competing. Saya had seen Snow workout before but it was mainly jogging around the park.

"Well I guess I know how Snow got that amazing body of his. Why did I just think that!?" Saya quickly shakes her head triest to count how many push ups Snow was doing. Once the 3 minutes were up Minato shouted.

"Time!" Everyone stops and is standing up slightly tired except Snow and Flare. They looked like they could go for another 3 minutes if not more. "Alright switch." Saya is now on the ground and Snow is ready to count how many push ups she can do. "Ready. Set. Go." Minato hits the timer again and everyone starts doing push ups at a normal rate. Once again 3 minutes have passed. "Time! Alright I'll be coming to you individually so get ready with those numbers." Minato walks over to everyone and collects the data and comes to Saya and Snow. Snow answers first.

"200 sir." Kirigaya was surprised by the answer. He expected Snow to do well but not this well.

"Alright we have 200 push ups. I wonder if anyone matched you or one upped you, Arisato. How about you Sasaki?"

"I did 80 ." Minato jots down the answer and heads on over to the last duo of Flare and Machina.

"Alright, how many Izayoi?"

"200." Minato was once again surprised by an answer."Seems you and Arisato have a rivalry going on. Keep it up you two." Flare ignores the comment.

"Tch." "Don't you dare compare me to him." Flare thought to himself. Minato continues to talk to Machina and jots down his answer. Once done Minato stands in the middle of the group of students to announce the next exercise..

"Alright we'll be doing sit ups once again one will be doing sit ups while the other counts. Get ready." Saya's mind begins to wander again but shakes the thoughts out of her head before they could form. Snow once again said the same words to Saya not count and she did just that. The students went from sit ups,squats,jump rope and planking. Once they were done Minato stood in the middle of his students to announce the top 3 so far.

"Great job everyone, now I will be announcing the top 3 so far in this test. Now before I start don't be discouraged about your placements looking at this now almost all of you are pretty much tied which is what I expected. Now those who are a cut above the rest are as follows. Arisato is 1,Izayoi is 2 and Sasaki is 3. Now the gap between 3 and 2 is a marginal difference Sasaki did above average. But 1 and 2 matched each other score for score. Incredible work you two but not to play favoritism all of you did well like I said before. Don't use Arisato or Izayoi as a benchmark but definitely push yourself as hard as these two did. Now before we continue to the obstacle course I'll let you all have a 10 minute break to relax and stretch a little you'll need it." Some students plop to the ground and some are still standing up. Some Students started talking to one another. Ace starts to walk over to Snow and he notices and mentally prepares himself for the conversation.

"Just don't be awkward." Ace is in front of Arisato shooting him a friendly smile and Snow does the same. Ace speaks first.

"Nice work Arisato. Nice to know who I'm competing with gives it his all regardless of the circumstance." Snow is slightly embarrassed and starts to scratch the back of his head.

"It was nothing Kaji and I look forward to a friendly competition. We can start with the obstacle course." Snow says while pointing towards the obstacle course.

"Who knows I might pass you up. It was nice talking to you, Arisato. I look forward to the potential friendship." Ace extends his hand out halfway and Snow meets him halfway and shakes his hand.

"Me too Kaji." Ace walks away and starts to do some light stretching before the obstacle course. Saya was smiling at the whole exchange between those two and couldn't be any happier for her friend. Snow was finally getting out of his shell and starting to talk to people without the help of Saya. Saya would normally help Snow strike a conversation in the past during middle school. Unfortunately the conversation attempts in the past were no more than simple greetings so Saya was Snow's only one and true friend. And Saya was grateful for that but she always wanted him to find more people to talk to,hangout with and show his hobbies too. Snow is a great person and more people should be able to get to know him. Snow turns around to see Saya smiling at him and he gives her a confused look.

"Did I do something?"

"Yeah, You talked to someone without my help."

"Well it wasn't a very long conversation."

"But it was longer than a simple hi and bye. I'm sure Kaji would be happy to be your friend Snow."

"You think so?" with a lot of doubt coming out of Snow's voice.

"I know so!" Saya gives Snow a reassuring smile and Snow smiles back.

"Thank's Saya. Oh we should probably start stretching so we don't pull a muscle." Snow and Saya start stretching for the remainder of the break. Minato starts to walk over to the middle of the students and begins to speak.

"Alright 10 minute break is up. Follow me to the obstacle course." Minato starts to walk and the students follow. Once there Minato turns around and talks again."Ok as you guys see it's a basic obstacle course there's hurdles for you to jump over,a wall to climb and a final sprint to the finish. Now no quirks are allowed and I will be waiting at the end of the course to write down your time. And I give a signal for the next student to get ready. We'll be doing this in alphabetical order so Arisato you're up first." Snow froze up and awkwardly made his way to the starting line. Once there he got in a ready position and looked back at Saya. Saya mouthed the words "good luck" and smiled at Snow. Snow smiled back once Minato started counting down. "3. 2. !" Snow starts to dart down the course and makes his way through the hurdles effortlessly. Once at the wall climb Snow runs up the wall and grabs the ledge and pulls himself up. He even did a little flip while pulling himself up for extra style points and stuck a perfect landing. He continues to run and makes his final sprint to the finish line where Minato was waiting. Snow passes the finish line and Minato stops his stopwatch and looks at the time and is once again surprised by Snow's performance.

"Wow Arisato , 30 seconds is not bad. That's gonna be a tough time to beat."

"Thank you ." Minato gestures to the next student to get ready and starts to count down. This continued for 5 minutes until everyone was done. Minato once agains shares the total times with the class."Once again great job everyone the times are pretty average which is good. The top 3 are as follows. 1 is Snow. 2. Sasaki and 3. Izayoi. Seems we have a trend here. And this goes right into our last test. You will be in groups of 3 and take the bells away-" Minato shows 2 silver bells and attaches them to his waist. "From me. Quirks are allowed and I'll be using mine as well. There's a reason why I didn't tell you guys about my quirk. You also have a time limit of 5 minutes to take away these bells. Now the teams will be assigned by me so the teams are as follows. Team 1 will be Arisato,Sasaki and Izayoi. Team 2 will be Kaji,Hanazawa and Nakamura. Team 3 will be Kunagiri,Tokimiya and Chihara. Team 4 will be Sawashiro,Suzumura and Toyosaki. Team 1 will be going first. You have 3 minutes to come up with a plan and once we're done the rest of you better have your plans ready because I'll be calling you up next." Minato walks away into the open space and Saya and Snow walk to each other to form a plan. But noticed Flare was nowhere near them. They look around and see him already walking towards Minato and Snow runs in front of him to stop Flare in his tracks while Saya follows behind him. Snow's eyes met with Flares and there was a hint of animosity towards Snow from Flare's cold stare. Snow was hesitant to speak at first but ignored his cold stare and continued.

"Hey, we're supposed to come up with a plan, Izayoi. Unless you have one already we're all ears."

"Yeah we're supposed to be a team." Saya chimed in

"I don't need either of you two to help me. I already have a plan and it definitely doesn't involve you two so stay out of my way." Flare said this with a hint of anger and Snow felt something he's never felt before talking to someone. For some reason Flare's words were getting Snow progressively angry. Snow ignores those feelings and decides to reason with Flare.

"You're not a lone wolf. We're a team. If you have a plan you should tell us or at least let us provide support."

"Like I said I don't need you or your girlfriend's help so leave me alone." Flare's shoulder bumps into Snow and continues to walk towards Minato. Minato and the rest of the class watched the interaction and were just as confused as Snow and Saya were.

"So then Flare you're not much of a team player. Guess I know where to work with regards to you." Minato starts to talk to team 1. "You guys have 1 more minute for planning and start coming over already Arisato and Sasaki." Snow and Saya look at each other and start to walk towards Minato and Flare. Snow quickly comes up with a plan albeit a bit risky with their unknown factor being Flare.

"Saya you think you could distract Kirigaya for a bit."

"I-I could try. What are you planning on doing Snow." Snow starts to put on his gloves and coniutnes with his plan

"Izayoi's plan is probably just brute forcing his way to the bells. If he fails, you come in and start to fight Kirigaya while I freeze the lower half of his body during the commotion."

"That could work but what about a plan B?"

"We time our attacks with Flare and overwhelm Kirigaya and take the bells that way. Sorry for putting you in the front lines."

"No no I get it. My quirk requires me to touch something or someone in order for it to be effective you on the other hand don't. Just don't miss ok."

"I won't." The two teens have joined Flare and all take a fighting stance. Minato stands still nonchalantly and begins to speak.

"Alright let's begin." Upon those words Flare ran forward and threw a punch at Kirigaya straight to his face.

"Easy. I knew the teacher was weak." Suddenly Kirigaya's body had changed to a murder of crows and appeared behind Flare. "How did he!?" Flare turns around and tries to deliver a jumping roundhouse kick to Minato but he catches Flare's foot with his right hand.

"My quirk is called shadow dance. It allows me to transform my body to crows for a short period of time. You'd best work with your team Izayoi, they'll be the crux of your win." Flare was angered by those words and jumped into the air while leg was still in Minato's hold and tried to punch Minato. Minato catches the fist with his left hand but Flare isn't done yet. He then twists his body upside down to deliver a kick with left leg. It was imbued with a purplish black flame and his foot connected with Minato's left arm and sent him flying back. Flare quickly lands on his feet and rushes forward to Minato. Snow and Saya watched the whole interaction amazed at Flare's fighting abilities but quickly enacted their first plan. Saya runs behind Flare and Snow loosely follows behind Saya readying his quirk.

"I only have one shot at this. If I fail Kirigaya is sure to catch on and go after me since it seems like I'm the only one with a long range quirk." While Snow was looking for his perfect opportunity, Flare was still fighting Minato one on one. Flare continues with his strikes imbued with his flames and Minato dodges them effortlessly. Minato figured he humored Flare long enough and retaliated with an attack of his own. Flare throws a mid punch at Minato and Minato redirects the punches momentum and uppercuts Flare into the air. Minato then turns into the murder of crows and follows Flare into the air. He transforms back into his normal form and grabs Flare and holds onto him tight and their bodies start to spin a spiral like motion and head straight to the ground. A loud crash could be heard and the screams of pain from Flare could also be heard.

"AAAAHHH!" A giant dust cloud could be seen from their impact and Snow and Saya's attention were caught up in the air when they saw Minato jumping out of the dust cloud and behind Saya. Saya quickly turns around and jumps back to make a great distance between her and Minato.

"Just what is he? Flare's most likely out and I have no shot in distracting him." Saya was contemplating on what she should do. Her teacher virtually had no opening. Saya grits her teeth and braces herself and starts to run towards Minato. "I have to act. I just need to give Snow a small opening and he'll capitalize on it." Saya threw a mid punch and Minato blocked it and retaliated with a mid kick. Saya catches the kick and tries to activate her quirk but was too slow on the activation. Minato already turned in the murder of crows and appeared behind Saya. Snow took this opportunity to activate his quirk. Snow bent down and placed his hand on the ground.

"Freeze!" Ice traveled from Snow's hand towards Minato. Minato notices and dodges the ice. "Dammit I almost had it. Alright then plan B." Snow starts to run towards Minato while creating icicles. Snow cups his hands together and a barrage of icicles shoot out of his hands.

"Absolute zero:Freezing rain!"

Minato dodges all of them, while this was going on Saya was taking the opportunity to grab the bells. Minato notices this and grabs Saya's extended arm and pins her down to the ground with one arm behind her back. Flare is slowly getting back up and is furious and throws out a projectile attack at Minato and Saya.

"DEAD SPIKE" Flare dragged his arm from the ground and raised it and a mass of black flames emerged from the ground. It resembles a beast's head and quickly travels to it's targets. Minato looks up and releases Saya from the hold and gets out of the way of the incoming attack. Saya, still on the ground, stood still like a deer in headlights. Snow stops in his tracks and notices Saya isn't moving and quickly places two of his hands on the ground.

"Ice wall!" Ice quickly traveled from Snow's hands to the ground and in front of Saya making a giant wall of ice to protect her from the attack. The impact of Flare's attack melted the ice wall almost instantly,luckily Saya was protected by the ice wall. Minato had backed up a good distance and looked at his watch and began to speak. All 3 combatants' heads quickly looked towards Minato as he spoke.

"Aaaaaand time." Saya and Flare looked dejected upon hearing those words. Both knew they could've done better but Snow didn't share those feelings. All he felt was anger building up from Flare's careless actions. Snow makes his way towards Flare. Flare noticed and gave him a cold stare and Snow returned the stare. The two were now face to face.

"What the hell is wrong with you! You could've hurt Saya!" Snow said with anger rising from his voice.

"She was simply in the way, not my problem." Flare said nonchalantly and started walking away. Snow grabbed his arm and Flare immediately turned around and tried punching Snow in the face. Snow grabs the fist and their two glares meet each other again.

"Not your problem!? She's on our team! Don't you think you should be more careful!" Flare removes his fist from Snow's hand along with his arm from Snow's grasp.

"If either of you two are expecting an apology then you're not getting one."

"It's not a matter of apologizing, it's about realizing what you could've done! She could've gotten seriously hurt and you're ok with that!"

"Again she was in the way. Not. My. Problem." Snow clenches his fists and activates his quirk. Saya had never seen this side of Snow. She didn't even know that this side of Snow existed. She's always seen Snow as this kind,reserved and quiet person. Never one to get angry at anything really. But to see this side of him felt oddly comforting to her. To know that he wasn't gonna take blatant disrespect and endangerment of others so lightly. Minato was watching what was transpiring and ran immediately in between the two angry teens.

"Arisato! Izayoi stop it at once!" Both looked to their teacher and went their separate ways. Snow deactivates his quirk and walks over to Saya to make sure she's not hurt.

"Hey you're not hurt are you?" Saya was snapped out of a trance. Her mind was still on the fact that this was the first time she had ever seen Snow angry. And this won't be the last.

"Uhhh,Yeah I'm fine just a bit dazed is all. I'll be fine." Snow lets out a sigh of relief and the two walk towards Minato.

"I'm sorry about my outburst . I-it won't happen again." Snow says with a pleadful bow. Minato places his hands on Snow's shoulder and Snow looks up into his eyes.

"We'll talk about it once we're done here but do you need to talk to walk to clear your head." Minato showing concern for his student. Minato Definitely wasn't expecting him to react that way but then again can you blame Snow? He was only looking out for his friend from a reckless person.

"No sir, I'll be fine."

"Good. You and Sasaki can stand over there and watch as I test the rest of the class." The two nodded and walked over to where Minato pointed. "Alright team 2 is next." Trey and Deuce made their way to Minato while Ace was behind. He wanted to check on Snow due to what he saw.

"I know it's not my place to ask but what happened between you and Izayoi. The rest of us couldn't really hear what was going on. All we knew was that you looked pretty angry."

"I'm fine, really Kaji but thank you for your concern. I'll….explain later maybe during lunch."

"Ok and if you don't tell me during lunch it's alright. Just know I'm here for you." Ace says with a reassuring smile. Snow was taken aback from Ace's words. The only people that showed Snow concerned about his well-being were his parents,Kisara,Saya and her parents.

"T-thank you Kaji. You should get going, I don't want you to get in trouble."

"Right. I'll see you around Arisato." Ace says while catching up to Trey and Deuce. Minato was impressed by Ace for quickly showing concern for a fellow classmate who he's only known for an hour and some change. He smiled at the interaction and knew that this year's class-0 held great promise. Ace,Trey and Deuce stand before Minato in a ready position. Minato adjusts the bells since they've been loosened during the prior fight. Once done he looks at his students and readies himself.

"I won't be taking any chances if Arisato,Sasaki and Izayoi were anything to go by then I need to take them all seriously." Minato begins to speak. "Alright let's begin." All 3 students back up and a glowing white light glows around all 3 of them. This signified that Deuce activated her quirk. Her quirk concentro works as a buffer to other quirk users increasing their abilities by a marginal percent. Ace summons a hand of cards 7 in his hand and 3 of the 7 cards start to flow at the top of Ace's head. With the 4 remaining cards in hand he throws them and they start to dance around Minato. Before Minato could move a pillar of light erupted from the cards and Minato was hit by it. Wild card has a myriad of abilities and this was one of them. Ace was able to manipulate the cards as he pleased and has various attacks for single target and area of effect for group fights. But by going for an AOE route Ace sacrifices the damage for the weaker spread.

"Mega Burst!"

Minato reels back from the sudden pain but suddenly realizes Trey hasn't attacked yet. While running from Ace's cards he sees a rock coming towards him with an intense speed and ducks the rock. Trey's quirk allows him to throw any object with pinpoint accuracy like an arrow.

"A long range fight huh. I'm gonna have to use my quirk more than I thought." And Minato does exactly that. Ace's attacks start to become easier to dodge in crow form along with Trey's attacks. After some maneuvering Minato found himself in a better position and went back into his normal body form. Minato started to run towards Ace first,he was deemed the most dangerous of the 3. Ace notices and throws a card towards Minato. Minato moves to the side as he's running but notices Ace is gone from his eyesight. He turns around to find Ace is where the thrown card had landed. "He's able to teleport to where a card is. Interesting." Ace then gathers 4 cards and shoots them straight at Minato.

"Spiral Shot!" Minato rolls to the side and transforms into crows once again to get closer to Ace. Ace throws another singular card to teleport. Minato goes back into his normal body and grabs the card.

"I won't be falling for that again Kaji." Minato then senses someone behind him and rapidly turns around to see Deuce running at him. Minato tries to jump back but his attempt was cut short due to Trey throwing rocks at his feet. "Dammit, my quirk is still on cool down. These kids might actually get me." Minato then realizes that Ace's and Trey's quirk were being amplified by Deuce. With the sudden realization Minato leaves his guard open for Deuce. Deuce notices this and takes her chance to grab the bells. Minato deflects her hand and palms Deuce's head and slams her down to the ground. After that Minato transforms into the murder of crows and goes beind Trey. Ace notices that and readies another card but feels the sudden decrease in power due to Deuce losing her concentration. He still tries to fight anyway and throws a card at Minato and teleports immediately. Minato again catches the card and places it in Trey's back pocket and jumps away. Ace teleports behind Trey and the two are standing with their backs against each other. Trey elbows Ace in the back thinking that Minato was still there. Ace reels over in pain and Trey realizes he's hurt his teammate/

"I'm sorry Kaji I thought you were ."

"It's ok Trey." Ace says while placing a hand where the pain was coming from.

"And time!" Ace looks up and Trey looks towards Minato and couldn't believe that time was up. Both sigh in defeat and Ace gets up and heads over to Deuce to make sure she's ok.

"Hanazawa are you ok? You took a nasty fall there." Ace extends his hand out and Deuce grabs and is hoisted up by Ace.

"I'm fine Kaji thank you for asking." Ace and Deuce walk over to Trey and join him in the conversation that he and MInato were having.

"Nice to see you're ok Hanazawa. I'll just repeat what I said to Trey. You three did amazing. Going for a ranged approach and overwhelming me was a good strategy and Deuce I assume that you were amplifying their quirks?" Deuce nods and Minato gives her a smile in return. "That's exactly what I'm looking for within you three quick planning and execution along with great teamwork." All of team 2 and bows and Minato sends them over to where Snow and Saya stood. Minato then goes into the middle of the field again and starts to speak."Alright team 3 you're up." Machina,Rem and Cater walk towards Minato within seconds they're in front of Minato taking fighting stances. "Let's begin." Machina makes the first move and charges at Minato with a red aura surrounding him. Awakening boosts Machina's attack and speed at the cost of leaving himself vulnerable. Machina is going straight for the bells and Minato dodges every attempt. Cater starts to run at Minato and Minato dodges over Machina and tries to kick Cater mid doge but she dodges out of the way. Minato notices a light emitting from Caters index finger. Cater smirks and points her finger like a gun and fires off an Ice bullet.

"Blizzard Shot!" The bullet travels at a fast speed and Minato responds by transforming into a murder of crows to avoid it and Machina's advances. Once out of the way he's then faced with Rem raising both hands in the air and bringing them down violently and above Minato were rays of light coming down at him. Minato rolls out of the way and dodges all rays of light. Machina takes the advantage and speeds towards Minato. Minato notices Machina and delivers a kick to Machina but was surprised to find Cater there to dodge the attack.

"They're overlapping their speed. Then where's Machina!?" Minato was too distracted by Cater's sudden appearance and Machina's disappearance. Cater takes aim again.

"This time I won't miss. Take this teach!" Cater fires off another blizzard shot and Minato ducks it and hits Machina down to the ground. Minato then dashes forward and grabs Cater's arm and tosses her over his shoulder. Rem starts to shoot beams of light out of her hands at Minato and Minato runs in between the beams dodging left and right and goes for a low sweep. Rem trips up and is now on the ground flat on her back. Minato once again senses that Someone is behind him and transforms into a murder of crows and soars into the air and detransforms, he looks down and saw that it was Machina. Machina jumps in the air to clash with Minato. Once the two are only inches away Machina throws a punch and Minato grabs his arm and goes for a spinning pile driver izuna drop style once again like he did against Flare. Minato jumps out of the dust cloud and begins to speak.

"Time!" Once the dust cloud disappears Minato helps Machina up and helps him wipe the dust off of his clothes. Cater and Rem join up with Machina to hear Minato's words. "You three did gret. Overlapping your speed with one another was a genius plan along with the barrage of range attacks." All 3 bow and Minato sends them over to the other groups of students. Up next was the final team."Alright team 4 you're up." Sice,Jack and Cinque make their way to Minato. They stood in a fighting stance in front of Minato. "Let's begin." Sice materializes a scythe and points it at Minato and shoots out a dark blast.

"Dark Nebula!" Minato dodges out of the way and is met with Cinque screaming as she jumps into the air with a fist aimed at him.

"RRRAAAAAAHHHHH! Minato jumps back and dodges and Cinque's fist impacts the ground and a crater is formed where Minato once stood.

"Good thing I dodged that." Once Minato lands he's backhand fists Jack standing behind him but Jack doesn't move from the impact. Jack instead returns with a punch of his own and Minato blocks it but is sent skidding across the ground on his two feet."So Suzumaru's quirk combines his own strength with what was dealt to him. If I'm not careful these 3 could actually take my bells." Minato watches the movements of Jack and Cinque carefully due to their insane strength; one slip up and they can successfully take the bells. Minato continues to dodge Cinque's attacks and notices Sice hasn't attacked at all. Sice in the distance spins and reels her scythe back

"Death maelstrom!" Minato transforms into a murder of crows and flies over the tornado heading towards him. Once away he turns back into his human form and Jack tries to fight Minato. Jack throws a kick at Minato and Minato grab's Jack's leg and sweeps him. Then flips over Jack while still holding onto his legs pulls it towards Jack eliciting a scream of pain from Jack.

"AAAHHH" Minato got up and saw Cinque in the air again and decided to meet her there. Cinque punches and once again Minato deflects the punch and holds her tight and goes for another izuna drop. Once Minato is out of the dust cloud Sice immediately swipes with her scythe and Minato grabs the pole and brings it towards him along with Sice. He then pushes the pole part to Sice's head knocking her down instantly. Minato then backs away and hears Jack running towards him and Minato quickly turns around with an elbow to Jack's stomach causing him to reel back. Minato then takes one of Jack's arms and puts it in an arm lock.

"Aaaaand time!" Minato releases Jack's arm and goes over to Cinque to help her up. Jack does the same to Sice and they meet up with Cinque and Minato. "Good work you three you're uncoordinated attacks actually threw me for a loop until the end." The 3 bow and Minato continue to talk or rather yell. "Alright class that's all for the tests, get changed in the locker rooms and head back into class,we'll talk about this test in more detail then!" Minato takes his leave and everyone heads to the locker rooms to change out of their gym uniforms and into their school uniforms. Once they're all back in class Minato walks in front of his desk and goes over the combat test. "Ok class so as to quickly go over the results you all passed but 1." Everyone had a confused expression as to what Minato meant. They didn't get the bells, doesn't that mean they shouldn't have passed."I guess I should elaborate this was test of teamwork to see if you guys could work together we may have had a little mishap at the start-" Minato looks over to Flare and Flare avoids eye contact."But you all did amazingly well for especially when all of you just met. The bells were just a common goal if you successfully took the bells from that meant extra credit. But now to talk about the one that didn't pass." Minato said the last part with a serious tone.

"Izayoi you showed blatant disrespect and disregard for your teammates safety. Thankfully Arisato had acted quickly before your attack could even hit Sasaki." Snow mentally sighs to himself from not being the one that didn't pass.

"Honestly, I thought my outburst would've led me to failing the test." Snow spoke too soon and Minato is now looking over to where he is.

"Although I appreciate you standing up for your friend Arisato, I won't tolerate an attempt of aggression towards a fellow classmate." Snow looks down in disappointment. Not exactly a strong start to the school year."Now the question is does this warrant a punishment that's to be decided. We'll come back to this at the end of the day. With that out of the way I'll pass out the syllabus for this school year for your general studies and hero training. We'll be going over it together so feel free to ask any question while I'm explaining." Minato hands out the syllabus and starts to go over what they will be learning over the year along with the teachers they'll be taught by. Snow listens to the best he can but his mind is still on what transpired between him and Flare and Minato's words.

"Mom and Dad aren't going to like this. They'd probably be as surprised as I am considering this first time I've even acted like that. Hope I didn't scare anyone." Snow is broken out of his thoughts once Minato is done talking about the syllabus.

"Alright and that's everything, keep the syllabuses with you and if you have any questions feel free to ask me. But for now go out and have lunch. I think you guys have heard me ramble on enough." Everyone gets up and starts to head out the classroom and towards the cafeteria. Once at the cafeteria Snow and Saya grab their lunch together and sit by a nearby table. Snow and Saya start to eat lunch although Snow's mood is still pretty down. Ace wasn't too far behind them and walked up to their table.

"Hey you two don't mind if I sit with you?"

"Of course not Kaji, we don't bite." Saya says with a chipper tone and a smile. Ace smiles back and sits down

"So Kaji, your quirk is pretty interesting. You summon cards, it's not something you see everyday." Said Saya

"Yeah it's definitely a unique one and I'm glad to have it. This might sound silly but if any of you are familiar with kamen rider I've always thought of my quirk like the card motif that Blade and Ryuki had." Snow's face lights up from the mention of kamen rider and starts to talk.

"I'm very familiar with both series and kamen rider in general. I grew up watching the old reruns of black,RX and Kuuga. I've actually never met another fan of the series!" Said an enthusiastic Snow. Ace notices Snow's mood has been lifted up and continues with the conversation.

"Yeah it's definitely something you don't see everyone talk about on a daily basis. Which Series is your favorite Arisato?" Snow starts to think of an answer and Saya decides to join in the conversation.

"He's going to be there for a while but I can answer your question Kaji."

"Oh, had no clue you knew what kamen rider was Sasaki. Sorry for not including you in the conversation."

"It's ok and I got into it because of Snow here. I may not be as big a fan as he is but we've watched a couple of series together. My favorite would have to be Ryuki or Kabuto."

"Those are great choices. I'm also very partial to early heisei era series and with my quirk being card related naturally my answer would have to be Ryuki or Blade. Hard to decide between the two. So have you thought of an answer Arisato?"

"Yeah I think so. It would have to be Kuuga. I have really fond memories of watching it with my mom and Godai as a character was inspirational. A hero that fights so that everyone can keep on smiling."

"Yeah, that is pretty inspirational Arisato. Sorry to change the subject,Sasaki you said you and Arisato watched some of the series together and you even called him by his first name. How long have you two known each other?"

"Well we're childhood friends. We've known each other for about 10 years." Saya says while putting one arm over Snow's shoulder and bringing him closer to her. Snow starts to blush at this action and tries to calm himself down from being so close to her.

"Why is she doing this now? This girl is gonna kill me!"

"That's nice that you two have known each other for that long. And seeing how friendly you two are towards me I have no doubt that we can become the best of friends."

"Of course Kaji we'd be glad to be your friends."

"Y-yeah Kaji I'm glad I'm able to call you my friend." Ace wonders what Snow meant by those words but shrugged it off.

"I shouldn't press on what Snow said. I'm just glad his mood changed." The 3 enjoy their lunch together while talking about their favorite moments in specific kamen rider series. Once lunch is over they start to head back to their class and spend the rest of the day going over introductory lessons on various subjects until it's time to be dismissed. Once it's dismissal time Minato talks a bit before letting his students leave.

"So today we had a bumpy start but let's not dwell on it and look at the positives that happened today. Let's all start tomorrow on a positive note. You're all dismissed except for Arisato and Izayoi. You two can come to my desk before leaving." Everyone packs their bags and starts to head out the front door except for Saya. She stood next to Snow's desk to tell him something.

"Hey Snow, I'll be waiting for you downstairs by the front entrance whenever you're done."

"Thanks Saya. I'll try not to take too long." The two said their goodbyes and Saya headed out the classroom. Snow and Flare both pack up their bags and head to Minato's desk. Once their Minato lets out a big sigh before talking.

"So I decided not to give a punishment however there are two things I want to say to you two. First I'll only be letting you guys off with a warning and you should be thankful I'm not notifying your parents. Snow mentally sighs to himself due to the fact his parents won't find out about what happened while Flare seemed unchanged from his nonchalant attitude. "Second, I want you two to apologize to each other, you two know what you did unless you want me to repeat it." Both stare at each other and give each other the side eye of wanting the other to apologize first. This continues for a couple of minutes until Minato speaks up. "Ok then if neither of you two will apologize I'll just notify your parents." Minato takes out his phone and Snow stops him.

"Wait! Fine, I'll go first."Minato puts his phone down and Snow lets out a sigh and has a quick thought."Can't believe I need to apologize to him." "I'm sorry that I threatened you with my quirk Izayoi. It-it won't happen again." Said a defeated Snow. Minato now looks over to Flare expecting his apology but Flare had other plans in mind.

"Threatened me? As if you could pose a threat to me." Before Snow could even retort Minato interjected.

"Don't you think you've done enough already Izayoi? Unless you want me to move you straight out of this class and into the other hero courses I suggest you shape up." Flare gives in and apologizes to Snow.

"Sorry Arisato for endangering your girlfriend."

"By her name Izayoi,please." Said a slightly aggravated Minato.

"Sorry for endangering Sasaki. Better?"

"Yes, much better. Now let's not have a repeat of what happened today for the days to come. I know it's easy to succumb to negative emotions when losing, or let your emotions start to take over when it involves a loved one you two are only human. But moving forward you need to get along. Am I clear on that?"

"Yes sir/Yeah." Snow and Flare both replied at the same time.

"Good. You are now dismissed. Enjoy the rest of your day you two." Minato sits back in his chair and starts to grade the written test. Snow and Flare bow and head out the classroom and make their way to the downstairs entrance. Flare walks past Saya and Saya avoids eye contact. She notices Snow and walks up to him curious about what he needed to stay behind for.

"Everything alright Snow?"

"Yeah everything's alright. wanted me and Izayoi to apologize to each other."

"Seeing as how you two are out of the class I'm gonna assume it went well?"

"Could've been worse. He almost called my mom and dad. Glad he didn't,I don't exactly want either of my parents finding out about this."

"Yeah that definitely could've been bad but Snow I know you. You don't like hiding secrets from your parents, you're gonna tell them sooner or later." Snow is slightly embarrassed by Saya's words. She's not wrong either Snow never liked lying especially if it was a little white lie or even if it benefited him. He knew sometime today or tomorrow he's gonna have to tell his parents.

"Hey Saya, we should get going."

"Oh right. Let's go." The two walk out of the school and start to walk down the street. They are suddenly halted by Saya's ringtone coming from her phone. Her ringtone was the opening guitar part to hatenaki inochi. She notices that it was her mom that was calling her,

"And you said you weren't a big fan of kamen rider Saya." Snow said with a smirk.

"I blame you." Saya said before answering the phone."Hi mom, me and Snow just got out of school and we're on our way home right now."

"That's good to hear sweetie, I just wanted to tell you that we're at that Diner you two love so much oh and tell Snow his parents are here as well we're celebrating your first day in school." Saya looks over to Snow and points in the opposite direction of where they are standing and mouths the words"Start walking that way." Snow has a confused look on his face but shrugs it off and they start walking while Saya is still on the phone.

"Yeah I'll let him know mom and we should be there in about 5 minutes or so."

"Great! I would say get here safely but I know you have a special someone with you to keep you safe." Snow hears that last part and starts to blush.

"MOM! Ughhh I'll see you there bye." said a slightly agitated Saya

"Bye sweetie" Saya hangs up and puts her phone in her pocket and looks over to Snow.

"You didn't hear any of that right?"

"Didn't hear a word." "Feigning ignorance is probably for the best."

"Good. Oh and our parents are at the diner not too far from here. They're celebrating our first day."

"I could actually go for some food right now."

"Yeah I can as well, especially dealing with my mom's antics." The two teens walk towards the ice cream parlor to meet their parents. They talked about various things. One topic that stood out was hero costumes. Over the months Hayato has taken Snow to Kisara's place for designing and are currently in the stages of finalizing the design. Saya on the hand has her costume design done.

"So what does it look like Saya?" Curiosity piqued Snow's interest. Saya was never one to be very flash so naturally Snow wanted to know.

"It's a secret."

"Aww come on you can't do that."

"Yes I can and I don't want you to tell me what yours looks like either."

Snow throws his hands in the air and lets out a sigh "Fine." The two continue to bounce around subjects and notice they're in front of their destination. Snow opens the door and let's Saya in first and he follows behind. They look around and Snow see's the group of adults. He taps Saya's shoulder and points towards the group and they both walk up to the booth and sit with their respective families. Snow and Saya both sat in the middle of their parents. They all greet each other and a waiter takes their orders and walks away to place their orders. Saori spoke first and asked the burning question on every parent's mind. What is class 0?

"Well first off what is class 0." Snow jumped at the chance to give an answer.

"Well mom me and Saya along with 10 other students were handpicked by our homeroom teacher to be a part of class 0 because we placed at the top of the leaderboards of academics and quirk apprehension."

"That's great you two! Now it really feels like a celebration not to say we wouldn't have if class 0 wasn't what we thought it would."

"I understand mom doesn't help that they were pretty vague about it as well."

"My guess is to keep us in suspense." Saya chimed in.

"Probably. Onto my next question, how was your first day? Surely it had to be different from what was the norm."

"It was eventful to say the least." Saya says while holding the arm that was behind her back during the combat test. Akatsuki noticed what Saya was doing and decided to speak.

"What did you two do?"

"Well first we had 3 tests,one was written the other was basic exercise with an obstacle course which by the way Snow was totally a show off today." Snow blushes and starts to ruffle his hair while all attention is focused onto him.

"It was nothing Saya,really."

"Snow you lit-ter-rally placed number 1 in both basic exercises and the obstacle course. You cleared that obstacle course in less than 10 seconds. Ok a bit of an exaggeration it was 30 seconds but still,you even did a cool flip as you climbed up the wall."

"All that extra training must've really paid off Snow. I had no doubt in my mind that you'd place number 1." Hayato says while placing his hand on Snow's head and ruffles his hair around.

"Where did you place in those tests Saya?" Asked Yukina

"3rd for basic exercises and 2nd in the obstacle course."

"That's great Saya you weren't too far behind Snow then. Oh and you said there were 2 other tests, what were they?"

"There was a written one that wasn't graded yet and the other one was a combat test/a test of teamwork. Me and Snow were lucky to pass." Snow was slightly freaking out from Saya's last sentence. But who wouldn't? Your friend is telling both of your parents you barely passed a teamwork test. A kid that was mostly kind,courteous and considerate barely passing a teamwork test rings some bells.

"Well it's good that you two passed what the test was like." Snow decides to speak in hopes of not being suspicious with his silence.

" had bells attached to his waist and we got into groups of 3. It was and Izayoi, a fellow classmate." Describing Flare that way left a bad taste in his mouth. "Unfortunately Izayoi wasn't that much of a team player, he's the only one that failed."

"You should also tell them what happened after we were done testing." Saya said while sipping her drink.

"Saya!"

"What happened Snow did you get hurt? Saori shows concern to Snow's response. Of course she knew being a hero meant getting hurt but she was still concerned for her baby boy.

"I'm fine mom, nothing to worry about." "I'd rather not talk about this now." Saori tries to shrug it off but she had a sixth sense for whenever something happened to Snow. A mother's intuition if you will.

"If you say so Snow I won't press on it."

"Thank you mom." Snow mentally sighs to himself in relief that his mother quickly dropped the subject. But Saya had other plans. She normally wouldn't do what she was about to do but definitely felt that it was best for Snow to get out in the open now.

"Snow almost got into a fight."

"DAMMIT!" Snow bangs his head against the table and is preparing himself for whatever punishment his parents were gonna doll out to him. But was greeted by an unexpected response from his dad.

"That's my boy!"

"Hayato!"

"Oh right we're supposed to scold him." Snow was dumbfounded by his father. Normally Hayato and Saori were on the same page but they definitely had a different viewpoint on the matter. Oddly enough Saya's parents had mirrored reactions. Yukina was just as proud as Hayato was and Akatasuki was just as shocked as Saori was.

"Snow the last thing I thought you were capable of was starting a fight. How did this even happen?" Snow was broken out of his stupor from his mothers concern and tells everyone what happened without skipping a detail. Once everyone was caught up to speed Hayato was slightly disappointed that Snow wasn't exactly in a fight. But he was definitely proud of the fact that Snow's tolerance level to endangerment was as low as his. Saori was confused on one aspect though,she knew kids and teenagers as well can be cruel and do things with no rhyme or reason. The one thing on his mind was the fact that she was never notified about this happening.

"Snow, how come they never called me nor your father."

"Because just wanted to let us off with a warning. He was about to call you two if we didn't apologize for our action. I think that should explain everything. I'm sorry mom it won't happen again I promise." Saori knew that Snow would never keep something like this hidden nor lie about it never happening. She also knew that his words were sincere and she could never stay mad at Snow. Saori hugs Snow.

"It's ok Snow just promise me you don't make this a habit. I don't think I can handle hearing about my little boy almost being in a fight."

"I can."

"Hayato!" Snow hugs his mother and laughs at his mother and father's back and forth.

"I promise mom." With all the school talk out the way everyone enjoyed the rest of the day at the diner.

After everyone has eaten and paid the bill they all start walking home together. All of the adults were in the front while Snow and Saya were in the back to talk with some privacy. Once they entered a familiar street Saya thought it would be the right time to apologize to Snow for earlier.

"Hey Snow, I want to say sorry about what happened in the diner." Snow was taken aback by Saya's sudden apology.

"I-its ok Saya. At some point I was gonna tell them today although my mom probably would've interrogated me to talk while we were home."

"So you're not mad at me?"

"Of course not Saya. Why would I be mad at you?"

"Well I did just tell your parents your business without your permission."

"Like I said my mom definitely would've interrogated me so it's better this way."

"You have such a pure heart Snow." Snow chuckled at those words."And that's what I love about you the most, Snow."

"So I've been told." The two continue to walk and catch up with their parents who made a big distance between their children. Once they're at the crossroads they say their goodbyes and Snow and Saya give each other a hug without their parents noticing and go their separate ways.

Author's note: So first things first thank you to those who recently added my fic into their favorites makes me incredibly happy and hope you guys enjoy what's to come. Second of the references , the only noticeable one was obviously the kamen rider talk between Snow,Saya and Ace.(First friend group to be formed)

The other reference was Minus the 3 OCs everyone else in class 0 were a reference to the actual class 0 from type-0. I took the last names of their voice actors to be their last names in the story. Speaking of OCs we had two of them introduced, one is Flare with his projectile attack being a reference to Ragna from blazblue(one of my favorite fighting games).His quirk name isn't really a reference depending on who you ask but it was a last minute name on my part lol. I like Naruto so it works out. Next OC was Minato and his quirk is a reference to Hibiki who is also from blazblue.

As for the rest of class 0's quirks I named them and described them after passives and abilities from either DFFOO(a gacha game I play) and the game they originate from. Well minus Rem and Jack I couldn't think of a way to spin what they do into a quirk so I came up with seraphim light and enmity. And that's about it for reference.

The next chapter will be a hero vs villain simulation like what happened in the anime/manga but it will be different. In the anime/manga it was the first time Izuku stood up to Bakugou. Here it will be different for Snow and Flare. And I really hope that Flare doesn't give off a typical rival trope,he will have a chapter or 2 to himself to build up some background for him. That's all for now, see you guys in the next chapter and take care until then.
