UnHero

Chapter 2

-Spring-

A few months had passed since the exam, middle school had finished and during the break he had before UA started Naruto mainly spent it working on understanding and getting a grasp on One For All.

To call it just a strength quirk was an understatement personally as when he used it it truly felt as if there was a raging fire inside him almost. He felt that was the best way he could really describe how it felt inside him - if anything it almost reminded him of Kurama's energy after they fought in the seal.

His body was already honed and prepared for the quirk as it, even having been reverted younger, was still stronger than most kids his age and growing up with a better environment had allowed him to grow up better to the point he was taller than he was when he was 15 the first time and a touch bit stronger - though without chakra some parts of his strength were 'capped' as chakra, even when not actively used, was said to enhance the speed and strength in ninjas.

Though UnDead helped make up for it a good bit.

UnDead, being what it implied, allowed him to truly unleash himself as, without worry of any permanent damage, he had learnt to remove the limiters on himself. Limiters were something all humans unconsciously put on themselves in an effort to protect themselves, things like not punching so hard you tear your muscles or break all your fingers on impact.

Stuff your body does without any thought on your end to protect itself and keep you from hurting yourself

Being UnDead, none of that mattered as he could heal himself - now that's not to say he punched everyone at full power but it meant his 'max strength' even without One For All - or OFA to be easier to say - wasn't anything to sneeze at.

It took a bit but he had gotten to the point where activating One For All didn't take any real conscious effort. He approached it the same way as Kurama's power given they gave off a similar feeling inside him so when he activated it he had it spread throughout him like when he went into his cloak mode in the past.

It worked for the best but there was one noticeable drawback - he couldn't use his Negating powers while using the quirk. He somewhat expected this and it didn't quite put a damper on things as he just took it as another power he had to switch and swap to when he needed it - hence why he worked hard on making its activation easier for him.

He also somewhat had to work on limiting how much of it he used since when he activated it the first time and threw a punch - even while having limiters up and not even having the power cranked all that high - his arm got quite injured.

But it wasn't much of an issue, he was an 'instinctual learner' so with some training he got a good flow and feel for his new power and got to a point where he felt he could actually use it in battle should he need to.

Which was great timing as his first day at UA was officially starting today.

"You ready to go Himiko!?" Naruto yelled out as he put on his shoes near the door, waiting for Himiko as he didn't want to leave her behind.

"Ready~" she sang out as she hurried down the stairs with a happy smile on her face, wasting no time before she put on her shoes. "Where is Manami? I thought she'd see us off?" she asked, looking around a bit as he opened the door for them.

"She left a bit before Toshinori did, said she had something to do and apologized for not being able to see us off on our first day" Naruto said as he figured it was something important if it caused her to leave on their first day.

"I guess that's okay then…Let's hurry! I wanna see who else is in our class!" Himiko said, her slight frown turning into an excited smile as she grabbed his arm and started to pull him away the second he had locked the door.

They had gotten lucky to be in the same class, Class 1A, but that was all they knew since even with Toshinori being hired to be a teacher at UA he obviously stood strong on his 'no special treatment' standpoint.

As they arrived at UA the feeling of walking through the front gate had a much different feeling to it than when they were here for the exam - this time they were official students and this was their school.

"Whoa, big door" Himiko said with a giggle as the door was easily four times their height, most likely to accommodate anyone who was much taller due to their potential quirks.

"Wonder who is on the other side, gotta say - knowing my poor luck with this stuff, I can already bet the two people I'd rather not be here will" Naruto told her with a sigh, referring to Bakugo and that other glasses wearing teen from the exam before he opened the door - immediately giving a heavy sigh as he was right.

"Remove your foot from that desk! Such an action is insulting to those who came to UA before us as well as the craftsmen who made the desk" the glasses-wearing teen said as he tried his best to get Bakugo to take his foot down.

"Like I care! What middle school are you from, you extra!?" Bakugo asked with his usual attitude, showing nothing had changed over the months.

"I-I'm from Somei Private Academy. My name is Tenya Iida" he said as he introduced himself while Bakugo merely scoffed.

"Somei?! A stuck-up elitist then? I should blow you to bits" Bakugo threatened with an annoyed glare as Tenya recoiled from the threat.

"You're awful! You you really wish to become a hero!?" Tenya said as Naruto sighed again.

"He's an ass and has the speech patterns of a villain but he won't actually try anything as unlike in our middle school there is no teacher favoritism to keep him out of trouble" Naruto told them as they walked into the classroom with a flat look on his face, getting Tenya and Bakugo to notice him and Himiko. "Though we are in high school and in UA, might want to stop with calling everyone an 'extra' before you get egg on your face or your foot in your mouth….not like that's ever stopped you before" he warned a bit which got a glare from Bakugo, his expression showing he was holding himself back from starting something like he normally did whenever Naruto called him out on shit.

"Uzumaki…you…you perceived the true nature of the exam while I did not! I misjudged you! I hate to admit it but you were the superior candidate, especially given you ranked highest amongst all the testees…." Tenya ranted as he walked up to him before Naruto waved him off while Bakugo glared daggers at him - more than usual, though that was probably due to the 'ranked highest' part of things.

The 'I've gotta be the best around' in Bakugo didn't do well when others surpassed him at anything.

"Um…I didn't perceive anything? There was no 'true nature', I just saw a girl in trouble so I rushed in. I didn't think about the exam or points when doing it - hell, it could've made me fail and I still would've done it" Naruto told him, raising an eyebrow a bit at him as personally an exam shouldn't be the driving factor for taking action since heroes were all about saving others.

"Thanks again for that" a familiar voice spoke out, getting Naruto to turn to see Kyoka standing in the hallway with a smile before she walked in. "Seems like we are in the same class" she added, still smiling as she twirled one of her earphone jacks around her finger.

"Seems like it, at least that makes one familiar face that I'm actually glad is here" Naruto said as he subtly pointed his eyes in the direction of Tenya and Bakugo while his back was turned to them, getting a chuckle from Kyoka.

"If you're here to socialize then get out" a man in a literal sleeping bag said as he slid into view on the ground on his side, getting confused looks from him, Himiko, and Kyoka. "This is…the hero course" he said as he pulled out a packet and started to drink from it before slowly standing up.

"Well we are waiting for our teacher, nothing says we have to shut up during it" Himiko chimed in with a frown, already a little weirded out by the man.

"It took eight seconds for you to quiet down" he said, seemingly ignoring Himiko's comment. "Time is a precious resource. You lot aren't very rational, are you?" the man continued as he got out of his sleeping back with a sigh.

"As Himiko said, we are allowed to talk while we wait for our teacher, which I'm now going to guess is you?" Naruto asked as the man simply nodded.

"I'm your homeroom teacher Shota Aizawa, pleased to meet you" he said in a flat tone before he reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out a t-shirt. "Quickly now, change into your gym clothes and head out to the grounds" he told them, showing despite his very lazy appearance he didn't want to waste any time.

As the class went to get changed and head out they found him already waiting for them with a familiar face that surprised Naruto.

"M-Manami!? What are you doing here!?" Naruto asked in shock as Manami was standing there beside Aizawa.

"Surprise! I've been hired by UA as an assistant teacher! I wanted to keep it a secret from you!" Manami revealed as she did a little twirl to also show off her new outfit.

It was definitely cute, consisting of an indigo shirt with frilly shirt cuffs, a big white bow at her neck, a pair of puffy white pinstripe pants, a brown corset of sorts that went up to right under her chest, a pair of white gloves, and black heeled boots.

"You all can call me Aiba-sensei!" she said with a happy smile and a peace sign before Himiko rushed in to happily hug her.

"Why is a kid our sensei?" one kid with red hair asked as another student, a girl with vine hair, looked towards him.

"And how do you two know her?" she asked before Manami put her hands on her hips, after Himiko let her go, and frowned towards the red haired student.

"Excuse me, I'm not a kid, I'm 21. And I know Naruto and Himiko because I am friends with their guardians, who both helped get me this job" Manami explained to them, referring to Toshinori but also keeping his and Himiko's connection a secret while glaring somewhat at the red haired kid who at least looked apologetic for his comment.

"She is here to help with the class here and there, the principal allowed it so I don't have room to argue but we aren't here for socialize. Today we'll be conducting a test of our quirks" he told them to get them back on track.

"What about the entrance ceremony!? Or guidance sessions!?" one girl with short brown hair and what seemed to be a perma blush on her cheeks asked as Aizawa didn't seem to pay her much mind.

"No time to waste on that stuff if you want to become heroes. UA is known for its freestyle education system, that applies to us teachers as well" he started to explain. "Softball throwing, standing long jump, 50 meter dash, grip strength, side-to-side stepping, upper body training, seated toe touch - you all did these in middle school, yes? Your standard no-quirks-allowed gym tests" he asked as he listed a long list of gym activities that they all did every year to pretty much get a read on how they were growing.

Naruto always had to use a power that wouldn't affect those scores whenever he had to do those exercises so - if this was going the way he thought it was - he was actually a bit excited to see how well he could score.

"This country still insists on prohibiting quirks when calculating the averages of those records. It's not rational, the department of education is just procrastinating" Aizawa said with a flat tone before looking around the group. "Bakugo, how far could you throw in middle school?" he asked as he randomly chose Bakugo out of the lineup.

"67 meters" Bakugo answered before Aizawa tossed him a softball.

"Now try it with your quirk. Do whatever you need to, just don't leave the circle. Give it all you got" he instructed as Bakugo stretched a bit to ready himself.

As Bakugo threw the ball, the massive size of the explosion didn't surprise Naruto, neither did Bakugo screaming 'Die!' as he threw it. All he could do was sigh and shake his head at him.

"It's important for us to know our limits, that's the first rational step to figuring out what kind of heroes you'll be" Aizawa explained to them as he showed a device that seemingly tracked the distance the ball was thrown, showing 705.2 meters for Bakugo's pitch which got some reactions from the others, all saying how awesome it was.

"Awesome you say? You're hoping to become heroes after three years here and you think it'll be all fun and games?" Aizawa asked as his tone became serious. "The one with the lowest score across all eight events will be judged hopeless and will be expelled. Your fates are in our hands. Welcome, this is the hero course at UA high!" he declared, getting shocked and worried reactions from the group though Naruto felt something was up about that statement a bit.

He might no longer have 'Negative Emotion Sensing' but he still believed himself to be able to figure out what were lies or 'half truths' at times and the whole 'expel the lowest student' felt off to him. But, he figured it'd be revealed at the end so he didn't quite worry about it much for now.

"Natural disasters, highway pileups, rampaging villains. Calamity is always right around the corner and I'd say Japan is full of unfair things. Heroes are the ones who correct all that unfairness. If you are hoping to spend your evenings hanging out at McDonald's, I'm sorry to tell you that for the next three years UA will run you through the wringer - that's Plus Ultra. Use your strength to overcome it all, so bring it" Aizawa said, going into a bit of a speech before he clapped his hands.

"The demonstration is over, now it's for real" he declared as they began the first event which ended up being a 50 meter dash.

As Naruto stood waiting for his turn he spent the time watching the others and seeing what quirks some of them might show.

First one he noticed was Tenya's which seemed to be some sort of exhausts in his legs that reminded him of an engine's which also allowed him to do it in 3 seconds. Next was a girl who looked a bit like a frog, Tsuyu Asui from what Aizawa said when reading out her time which ended up being 5 and a half seconds.

After that was the perma blush girl Ochako Uraraka whose quirk he couldn't quite tell with a time of 7 seconds. Then Yuga Aoyama who could shoot a laser from his navel….although the way he used it while facing backwards and leaping, only to fall and waste time getting back up to shoot again, made him slower, than the pink skinned pink haired girl with horns that ran alongside him with a time of 5 and a half seconds while she had a time of a little over 5 seconds.

"Hope that camera thing is good at detecting high speeds as I've been dying to show this off" Naruto said with a smirk as he got into position on the starting line.

"Really? What can your shitty healing quirk do for speed?" Bakugo taunted while Naruto just smirked over at him.

"When did I say healing is all I can do? You saw what I could do when I saved you from that slime villain, didn't you? I've got way more under my belt than healing myself" Naruto taunted back as he switched into the perfect power for it.

At the sound of the starting pistol, well, safe to say Bakugo was stunned as he was knocked over from his burst of speed - as was everyone else as he crashed into the tree a few yards away from the finish line.

"Naruto Uzumaki - 0.29 seconds" Aizawa stated as Naruto chuckled and pushed himself back up onto his feet, thankful that the shattered tree was covering up his two broken legs.

UnStoppable - that was what he just used. It was a skill for pure speed as it allowed him to move at incredible speeds but, like most of his powers, with a drawback - whenever he tried to stop while using it it would instead double his speed. The only actual way to stop while using it was when his body went through a change like a broken arm, or in this case, two broken legs due to him hitting the tree with a 'dynamic entry'.

Though UnDead made up for any damage he might suffer from it.

"See Bakugo? My power is much more than meets the eye….sorry about the tree though" Naruto said with a chuckle as he was thankful that his shoes were never seemingly affected by his high speeds.

"I was warned about your reckless abilities though I haven't been given a full look at your file. Is everything about your quirk this reckless?" Aizawa asked as Naruto gave a shrug of his shoulders..

"My power allows me to be reckless as I can't get hurt from it. Recklessness allows me to save people" Naruto said as he met eyes with Aizawa, the man clearly not being fond of how his powers tended to result in self damage, as the others rushed over to him.

"Dude! How the hell are you that fast?" one teen with blonde hair that had a black almost lighting bolt highlight on it asked as Naruto looked over at Bakugo who finished with a time just a bit over 4 seconds.

"Because my power makes me UnStoppable although that also makes stopping difficult" he told them with a chuckle as he dusted himself off a bit, all while feeling the intense glare from Bakugo.

He tried his best to watch the other's times but something about Aizawa's comments made him wonder, getting him to subtly call Manami over…though how she cutely rushed over like a little puppy made it less subtle.

"So, how much does Aizawa-sensei know?" Naruto asked Manami as he leaned against a nearby tree.

"I don't think he's been given enough time to fully look through all the student's folders. He knows base quirks and a simple understanding of what they do but, given how much reading is with yours, I think he hasn't had the time to look it over fully" Manami explained as Naruto's power had a whole lot to it so it wasn't quite something anyone could briskly look over and fully understand.

"So still have time to surprise him?" Himiko asked as she appeared beside him, using her stealth so no one would notice them gathering. Normal people would have jumped out of their skin at her suddenly appearing out of nowhere but the two of them - along with Toshinori - were used to it.

"Guess so, gives me more opportunities to surprise him and everyone else then" he said with a smirk as they made their way to the next test.

'Grip strength eh? Wonder how well this could work out' Naruto thought with a smile as he activated OFA, curious to see just how much strength was in his quirk before he felt his power stop which confused him.

He knew he wasn't using any of his negating powers but something felt off and, as he looked around, he figured out what and he finally remembered why Aizawa seemed familiar.

"Aizawa-sensei, could you stop erasing my quirk?" Naruto asked, confusing the others as they looked over at Aizawa and him in confusion.

"Wait, what do you mean?" one girl with short brown hair with bangs that covered her eyes asked as she looked back and forth between him and Aizawa.

"Aizawa-sensei isn't too well known but he's a pro-hero that goes by the name of Eraserhead, his quirk allows him to stop people from using their quirks while he's looking at them" Naruto explained, only vaguely hearing and seeing him in the news due to how he tended to apparently avoid media appearances. "So why did you erase my quirk?" he asked again as he and Aizawa had a bit of a staring contest before Aizawa started walking towards him.

"Your power is the epitome of recklessness and it will only inconvenience those around you as you use it. The entrance exam and the dash - both situations required self harm and as a teacher it's my job to beat that way of acting out of you" Aizawa stated as Naruto kept his eyes locked on him as he also started walking towards him.

"If you even briefly read over my file then you should know at least the name of the first power at the top - UnDead" Naruto told him, lowering his volume so others wouldn't overhear. "Let me just say the name is very literal with that one. I've swam in lava, survived space, drowned, and cut off my own limbs more times than I can count and I'm still here. If you saw the exam then you saw me cut off my own feet and grow them back like it was nothing" he started to list as he hardened his glare and got close to Aizawa, resisting the urge to grab the collar of his shirt like he wanted to.

"I'm reckless because I literally can't die and I like to believe that every death I'm going to experience as a hero will take the place of those I'm working to save. I regenerate faster than you probably expect and my other powers can do things you could only imagine so please, sensei, don't treat me like some reckless kid who is out of his depths cause I promise you, my recklessness is very, very calculated" Naruto told him, his tone incredibly serious before he activated UnTruth to make Aizawa turn off his quirk and blink which surprised him as he hadn't willingly done it.

Though it was a bit annoying to force himself to like Aizawa right now but, thankfully all his training on doing so to get the most out of UnTruth was coming in handy.

"Now, can I get back to the test?" Naruto asked as he took a few steps back, getting a begrudging nod from him - although his intense stare was still there - as all eyes were on them from their little 'intense talk'. "Good. Now," Naruto said with a smile as he lifted the grip strength machine up a bit so Aizawa could see it before he activated OFA and broke it almost instantly "you'll be needing another one of these" he told him, still smiling as he tossed the broken machine at Aizawa's feet and walked away before dropping the smile once his back was turned.

His back being to Aizawa did allow to hide his hand and fingers healing from exerting a touch more OFA than he intended but honestly he didn't care if Aizawa saw it or not. Though, if anything, he was glad Bakugo didn't see as he really didn't need his freaking out over his strength - although he knew it'd happen sooner or later.

"You okay Naruto?" Manami asked as she made her way over to him, noticing the little confrontation and instantly wanting to help as she reached up to put a hand on his arm.

"Yeah I'm fine, just annoyed a bit I guess. I know I'm a kid again technically but him treating me like some brat who just got his powers yesterday and doesn't know the risks, dangers, and everything else just struck a nerve" Naruto said as he patted her hand, getting her to remove it as he showed her he was okay.

It was hard to explain why exactly Aizawa had gotten to him so much but, if he had to really put a finger on it, he guessed it was due to him having a poor history with teachers.

They tended to go one of two ways with him - they either focused solely on others like Kakashi did with Sasuke or be a bit lazy when their sole thing they wanted to train him in didn't work out like Jiraiya who pretty much stopped any training after harnessing Kurama's chakra hit a wall.

Sure he still learned things from both but he knew now, after having Toshinori be such a hands on and serious teacher, that they could've done way way more.

From there the rest of the tests after that went fine with Aizawa leaving him alone. Though for the remaining tests he didn't actually need to use OFA as for the long jump he used UnStoppable and the side-stepping he used his natural unrestrained athleticism.

Though, as they got to the next event - ball throwing - he felt using it might be needed again.

"Wow, that's impressive" Naruto said with a whistle as the perma-blush girl threw the ball only to have the ball float endlessly into the sky, resulting in an infinity sign and him assuming her quirk made things unaffected by gravity.

"Gonna be hard to beat that score" Himiko said with a giggle as she excitedly waved over to the girl, getting her to warm smile and wave back in return as Naruto had noticed Himiko and her chatting a good bit throughout the tests.

He was happy to see her making a friend in the class so quickly and honestly, it didn't surprise him given how much of a 'social butterfly' she was around people.

"It isn't about beating people's scores, just doing your best. This isn't a fight against others, even with that odd threat of expulsion" Naruto told her while they continued to watch others do their attempts before it eventually became his turn.

"You're up Uzumaki" Aizawa called out, tossing him a ball as he walked into the throwing circle.

"Not going to erase me again?" Naruto asked, not wanting to get ready to throw only to have his throw ruined by it - only getting a flat look from Aizawa in return.

"Just throw the ball" he bluntly told him, clearly 'done' with him and just wanted him to take his turn.

"Fine, fine, I got it" Naruto assured him as he tossed the ball a bit in his hand as he peered out at the field. "Say, how far is this field?" he asked, looking over to Aizawa who somewhat raised an eyebrow at.

"Five kilometers so you don't have to worry about going too far. Not even All Might was able to get to the end of it back when he was a student. I think his record back in the day was almost two kilometers" Aizawa explained, instantly not liking the smirk on Naruto's face as he got ready to throw.

"Everyone might want to stand back a bit, not sure how strong the shockwave will be!" Naruto called out, giving them a few seconds to move back before he channeled OFA throughout him, putting a touch more into his throwing arm than his other limbs before he did the wind up and threw it with all his might.

The shockwave as the ball shot off and flew into the distance - as he expected - was rather intense as the ball rocketed into the air. He made sure not to overdo himself, wanting his score to reflect his limit without exploding his limbs so he could see how far he had grown the next time he attempted this.

Blowing himself up really wouldn't be a good 'benchmark' to go off of after all - especially after he already somewhat pushed it with the grip strength test.

"So, what's my record?" Naruto asked with a smirk, hoping that he had beaten Toshinori's record by a good amount as - despite Toshinori being undoubtedly stronger than him, he had two things that put him over Toshinori.

First was obviously his shinobi body making his base strength higher than Toshinori's was when he was his age and the second was that OFA was more refined and stronger than when Toshinori set the record since he was the ninth user and Toshinori had spent his adult life honing and growing it.

"I-It's 2,745.1 meters…." Aizawa stated, even him having trouble believing the score on the device.

"2.7 kilometers, I'd say that's pretty damn solid and I didn't even bust up my arm getting it" Naruto said with a smirk as he held up his hand and wiggled his fingers.

"Whoa! Now that's a hero-like record if I ever saw one!" the perma-blush girl cheered as some other students agreed with her.

"What the hell was that ramen-face!? Explain yourself!" Bakugo yelled out, the sounds of explosions going off rapid fire rang out as Bakugo used them to speed towards him only to be caught by Aizawa's cloth and seemingly have his quirk erased.

"What the…this cloth…it's stiff!" Bakugo groaned out while stuck in an awkward position due to Aizawa pulling back on the cloth.

"It's a capture weapon made of carbon fibers and special alloy wire but could you please stop using your quirk already, I'm getting dry eye over here!" he yelled out, showing a rather glaring weakness to his quirk since it stopped working whenever he blinked and dry eye made it hard for him to keep his eyes open for long. "Just prepare for the next event" he told them as he let go of Bakugo and walked off with Naruto doing the same before he stopped and turned back towards Bakugo.

"If you want to know about my strength and abilities, the reason you never knew about it is simple: I don't go around bragging and showing off my 'awesome quirk'" Naruto told him, adding air quotes at the end since Bakugo really loved to boast. "I like to keep my cards close to my chest and have some surprises so trust me when I say I have a lot more to show you" he added, somewhat enjoying the chance to land some well deserved and overdue blows to Bakugo's pride before he walked off.

Although he could still feel Bakugo's glare on him, even throughout the rest of the tests. Thankfully he seemed to restrain himself to just glaring so there were no other incidents of him rushing at him seemingly ready to attack.

It wasn't long before the tests were over and Aizawa gathered them to reveal the results.

"Time for the results" Aizawa started once they were all together. "Your total scores simply reflect your performance in each of the events. Explaining the process would be a waste of time so all you get are the final rankings" he told them as he pressed a button on his device.

"Also I was lying about expelling someone," he plainly told them as a little hologram started to flicker on in front of him "that was a rational deception meant to bring out the best in all of you" he revealed, chuckling a bit while some people freaked out.

The results were pretty interesting - he found himself at the top with two names between him and Bakugo, noticing Himiko was also at a pretty solid spot at number eight.

"Well, of course it was a lie. Didn't take much to figure that out…" one girl with a black ponytail said towards the few students who were freaking out.

"Funny enough this isn't the first time this kinda thing has happened to me" Naruto said with a chuckle, remembering the bell test with Kakashi which made him smile a bit but also feel a bit melancholy over that old memory of his.

"Anyway, we're done here. Your documents about the curriculum and such are back in the classroom, give them a look" Aizawa offhandedly told them as he walked off.

"I know today's class was a bit hectic but I promise you things'll be more structured" Manami said with a warm smile. "I know you all are probably exhausted but, maybe after getting changed, you can introduce yourselves to everyone else since Aizawa immediately started with this. I can stay in the class so you all don't have to worry about being told to leave" she added, trying her best to act like an actual teacher for them.

"She has a point, we might as well learn each other's names here while we have a chance. We don't have to go into detail but we can maybe also name our quirks or something" Naruto said, hoping to get some people on board as he looked around, seeing they didn't really need much convincing as most seemed on board.

Getting changed didn't take much time and, as they returned to the class he was surprised to see Bakugo there.

"You're actually joining us Bakugo?" Naruto asked, genuinely surprised since this was the last thing he expected.

"Hell no, I couldn't care less about knowing the names of fucking extras so count me out. I only came for the syllabus and papers" Bakugo barked out in true Bakugo fashion as he flipped him off and stomped out of the room.

"What is his problem?" one girl with wavy dark green hair asked with a raised eyebrow, confused why he'd react so harshly like that.

"He has a massive ego and he has the personality of an angry roided out chihuahua" Naruto told her, sticking his head out into the hallway and saying it loud enough for Bakugo to hear before going back into the classroom.

"I went to the same middle school as Bakugo and he was exactly like this all three years. He was the school bully and called everyone extras and threatened people with his quirk all the time while I stuck my neck out to help out his targets" he started to explain as everyone more or less followed him. "He is a hero and wants to be one but god damn does his personality scream villain" he added with a sigh before he looked around, unsure how to start things before Manami noticed and clapped her hands to get things back on track.

"Seating charts will be revealed tomorrow but, to determine an order, I'll let you all know ahead of time so you guys can use the order to introduce yourselves" she started to say as she headed over to the white board and, with the help of a set of small steps for her at times, drew squares on it to represent desks before writing a name on each one.

The introductions were nice though, depending on the person, either they rambled a bit or gave a very short one.

The first was Yuga Aoyama, the laser from his navel blonde guy and he definitely was in the 'rambled' category. He revealed he was actually born in France and half Japanese, though it was a bit obvious from his accent. His quirk was called 'Navel Laser' but had a drawback where it gave him serious stomach problems if he used it for too long.

After him was Mina Ashido, also somewhat a rambler but more from nerves and not from wanting to talk like Yuga did. She was interesting as she was pretty much pink all over with pink hair that had two almost question mark horns poking out of and pink skin with some seriously unique looking eyes that had the 'whites' of her eyes completely black. Her quirk was 'Acid', allowing her to secrete acid of various levels on command.

Tsuyu Asui was next - definitely a girl of few words as her intro was just her name and her quirk, which happened to be 'Frog' which gave her characteristics of a frog. She had rather big round eyes, a frog-like mouth, and long dull green hair. He actually felt a bit of comradery with her given his connection with toads as they might be different but it was still close enough.

Next was Tenya Iida, somewhat a rambler although at least he seemed a bit less 'up tight' than during the exam but it was definitely still there. His quirk was 'Engine' and pretty straightforward as it created engines in his legs that boosted his speed. Naruto had a strong feeling that Tenya didn't quite like that Naruto also had a speed quirk and beat his time by a lot.

He'd have to see if that reared its head anytime soon….

When it got to him he kept things short, just introducing himself a bit before he named his quirk. Its name confused a bit of people while others seemed more curious but thankfully they accepted his brief and bare explanation of it allowing him to 'negate things' along with the promise they'd see more of it later.

A few of them did recognize his name from the entrance exam due to him having the top score among them. Manami though was able to keep the introductions rolling before people started asking him a ton of questions about his performance in the exam.

The next person up was the perma-blush girl with short dark brown hair whose name was Ochaco Uraraka. She was a cheerful girl and very friendly, happy to be here and get to know everyone. Her quirk was rather interesting, called 'Zero Gravity' where anything she touched with the almost 'paw pads' on her finger tips became completely weightless until she touched her fingers together again.

Denki Kaminari was next, him being the blonde haired teen with the black 'lightning bolt' highlight in his hair. His quirk was 'Electrification' which allowed him to generate electricity - honestly it was a bit obvious with his hair. He seemed like a chill and down to earth guy which was nice.

Next was another guy, this one with red hair that was styled in tall spikes with hair gel. His name was Eijiro Kirishima, his quirk being a defensive 'Hardening' which allowed him to harden and sharpen his body. He was a nice and friendly guy that definitely seemed chill to hang around just like Denki before him.

After him was the girl with short honey brown hair whose bangs covered her eyes. Her name was Kinoko Komori, a petite girl with a thin build. She was a bit shy and soft spoken. Her quirk was 'Mushroom' which allowed her to spread spores from her body that quickly grew into full mushrooms.

She only really got animated when it came to talking about mushrooms and kind of rambled before blushing and becoming embarrassed once she realized what she had been doing. Manami easing her worries helped her become less embarrassed, which was nice.

The next girl was Ibara Shiozaki, a girl with green vines for hair that went down to a bit above her waist. She was rather interesting as her personality was quite pieous and saintly but not in a 'talking down to others' way. She was a nice girl and he remembered her name from the exam as well due to her being high up on the scoreboard.

After her was Mezo Shoji who definitely reminded him of Kakashi due to not only the light blue mask over his mouth but also his gray hair. Mezo was an inch or two taller than him and a good deal more muscular while definitely one of the most unique looking students due to his six arms that had a sort of web of skin attaching them to one another. His quirk was 'Dupli-Arms' which allowed him to replicate other parts of his body at the tips of his other arms.

He was a man of few words but even then you could just tell he was a good guy.

Next up was Kyoka, Naruto unable to keep from smirking a bit at her nerves as she introduced herself and her quirk which was 'Earjack' which allowed her to channel the sound of her heartbeat through her headphone jack earlobes when plugged into something for an attack or even use them to hear small sounds and vibrations when plugged in.

Her nerves were pretty cute though she definitely noticed his smirking, getting a little lighthearted glare and her sticking her tongue out at him before the next student began their introductions.

The next was a guy with short black hair named Hanta Sero, a simple looking guy whose quirk was 'Tape' which allowed him to eject various types of tape - other than duct tape - from his elbows. He was another down to earth guy in the class which Naruto liked as it would be a nice 'offset' from Bakugo.

After him was Setsuna Tokage, a rather pretty girl with dark green hair and sharp pointed teeth that reminded him a bit of a shark. She was a bit chatty but very cheerful and friendly, revealing how she got into UA through a recommendation which surprised a few other students.

Her quirk was called 'Lizard Tail Splitter' which allowed her to split her body up and remotely control them or even regenerate the pieces should they be gone for too long or destroyed - which she demonstrated by flying her hands around the room before reattaching them.

Next up was Himiko who, in her usual fashion, excitedly and energetically introduced herself. He couldn't help but be happy for her as she told people her likes and whatnot, somewhat rambling but obviously no one minded, a few even smiling as her smile was a bit infectious.

As she explained her quirk she got a bit nervous, explaining how she could transform into others by digesting their blood with the duration of the transformation depending on how much she drank. She even took it a step further by telling the class a bit of her struggles with her quirk as it gave her cravings to drink blood of those she cared for.

He almost stood up to go over to her as she looked like she was about to cry, most likely worried about being shunned by the class, but Setsuna comforted her and the class accepted her and told her how that was just how some quirks were.

The relief on her face as Ochako and a few other girls hugged her to console her was clear as day - probably was clear on his face as well and, after getting Himiko some tissues, the introductions continued.

He made sure to get her attention and give her a proud smile and a thumbs up which made her smile grow even bigger.

Next to introduce themselves was another guy of few words, a teen with the head of a crow or a raven. He didn't really say much though didn't come off as stuck up or dismissive, more just not one to talk all that much like Mezo. He described his quirk 'Dark Shadow' as a sentient shadow that he could summon and use in battle before showing it off for a quick moment before sitting back down.

The next student was a guy with a bit shaggy half white hair and half red hair, his eye on the red hair side being light blue with a burn scar around it while the one on the white hair side was brown. He was also a bit quiet, just introducing himself as Shoto Todoroki and giving a simple explanation of how his quirk was 'Half-Cold Half-Hot' and it was literal with how he could generate fire from one half of his body and ice from the other before sitting back down.

He didn't seem like he didn't want to be there, more just wanting to keep to himself a touch.

The next girl, well, was a bit hard to describe as she was literally invisible, only her school uniform able to tell her how she was sitting in her chair. Her name was Toru Hagakure and she was very energetic and cheerful, easily on par with Himiko by how excitedly her sleeves were waving and moving as she talked.

Her quirk, while a bit obvious what it did, was called 'Invisibility'. It was a permanently active quirk and, according to her, no food she ate showed up floating chewed up in her mouth which she was thankful for.

Next would've been Bakugo, but since he stormed out, Naruto gave a very brief introduction of him and his quirk - explaining how he knew him due to going to the same middle school. His quirk was 'Explosion' which allowed him to sweat out nitroglycerin and ignite it at will from the palms of his hands.

He decided to refrain from badmouthing Bakugo as they'd already seen a bit of him and would undoubtedly see more of it as the days go by.

The last student was the girl with black hair that was done up in a ponytail whose name was Momo Yaoyorozu. She was definitely beautiful with a rather mature figure, quite curvy though it was obvious so it wasn't from him ogling her or anything.

Her quirk was very interesting called 'Creation' that let her create anything she knew the atomic configuration of from her body. It seriously reminded him of 'Creation of All Things'.

"I hope this let you all learn a bit about one another though I'm sure you'll get to know each other more as the school days go by. This is the start of your school life, it'll be tough but I really can't wait to see how you all grow!" Manami said with a big and bright smile that infected a few faces as, with it being over, people decided to slowly start leaving.

A few stuck behind to chat with one another, Naruto smiling as Himiko chatted with some of the other girls before she quickly ran over to his desk which he was currently sitting on.

"Hey, some of the girls invited me to go to an arcade so I won't be able to walk home with you" she told him with a bit of a frown before he quickly waved her off.

"Don't worry about me Himiko, go enjoy making friends" he quickly assured her, getting a massive smile and a big hug from her before she ran back to the girls who left with her, a few of them waving to him as they left.

"You okay there? Did your friend ditch you?" Kyoka asked, a smirk clearly on her face to show she was joking as she leaned back on her desk, having seen the interaction.

"She didn't ditch me, she just went to hang out with our classmates to make friends with them. If anything I'm happy for it" Naruto said with a soft smile, happy to see her getting along with the others so quickly and easily - especially with how some people occasionally were when it came to 'darker quirks'.

"So, I take it you two know each other?" she asked, noticing something between the two during the tests earlier and then again just now.

"Yeah, we've known each other for about two years. I helped her a good bit and she's stuck with me since" he simply told her with a shrug of his shoulders as he didn't want to make a big deal about it or reveal too much.

"And you happen to know our assistant teacher?" she also asked as they watched Manami leave, her giving Naruto a happy wave and a smile which he returned.

"I helped her a bit as well but in my defense I had no idea she was working here and only learned of Himiko taking the exam when I learned I passed" Naruto said to make it clear, not wanting to seem like he was getting anything special.

"Relax, I'm not suggesting anything as you're already special enough after all, not everyone can slice off their feet and regrow them to save someone" she said with a warm smile, showing she had seen him when he cut his feet off to gain height to save her. "That obviously has something to do with your quirk, right? Don't worry though, I won't say anything about it" she added, holding a finger to her lips to show she'd keep it a secret.

"Well, it won't be a secret for long but let's just say I can do a whole lot more than people expect with my quirk's vague name" he said with smirk as he knew his powers would cause a whole lot of talk, especially with how they were unlike any other quirks out there.

But he was used to causing waves, it was a bit what he excelled at and, well, he was more than ready to do it again.

Discord

I have officially started a discord server for my writing that anyone can join!

If you wish to join drop me a PM and I'll give you the link or you can ask alongside your review and I'll give it to you. Originally I was just gonna have the link here but that could be a tad bit dangerous if a troll got it or if someone I have blocked got it lol

Keep in mind people have access to channels with stuff equivalent to the tiers they are pledged to. BUT, even if you aren't pledged you have access to all the basic stuff of the server :)


Pat Re On

I would like to remind everyone I do have a pat reon which includes rewards like seeing progress updates, notifications to new stories I plan to do, voting polls, and early access to chapters before I post them on FF.

Simple go to pat reon and paste:

/user?u=4783680

At the end of pat reon's url and you'll find my page.

You don't get anything that everyone here won't get aka there will be no "pat reon exclusive stories" or things where I have to get a certain amount of money before I work on something as both of those are shitty practices.

It is solely "hey, you want to support me, a disabled unemployed writer who survives off my disability checks? Thanks, I appreciate it" and nothing more

So yeah, check it out if you want :)


!**NOTICE**!

I went back and added these onto chapter 1 but I'll add them again here to make it clear

First off, no Izuku obviously since he wasn't mentioned whatsoever in chapter 1, thought that was obvious that he isn't in the story given he wasn't mentioned whatsoever and Naruto is getting OFA. Writing two protagonists is very difficult and would hurt the story - I've tried to do it in the past and it ended up with Naruto coming across like he was along for the ride.

Second, Naruto's power isn't a quirk, it is the Negator powers from Undead Unluck which were granted to him by being at ground zero of an explosion powered by Kaguya and the Shinju - akin to a big bang in a sense. They are only "quirks" in the eyes of the world to explain/hide the truth from everyone as its easier to lie to the world than it is to explain some new unknown power as quirks only exist on BNHA's Earth and those born there

Lastly, Naruto doesn't have chakra - thought I made that clear through a few mentions in chapter 1 but apparently wasn't clear enough. He lost it and the Bijuu in the explosion - his body was rewritten, hence why he can live without it. The Bijuu will reform in the Elemental Nations due to that being where they originated from and where the fragments of their chakra linger in the stump of the Shinju's tree that got cut down by Naruto and absorbed by Madara.

Hope that clears up the confusion


So, one thing I wanna mention, Naruto isn't instantly a master of OFA - he just has a better grasp of it early on and his body is stronger so it can handle more of it from the start than Izuku was able to. He has a better grasp of how to channel it as Kurama's cloak as a reference I feel fits his line of thinking and would replicate the 'even distribution' that Izuku took a while to figure out.

He still needs to train his body to handle it more and more since his body still needs to acclimate to it but, unlike Izuku, he can draw out its full power without risk at times due to UnDead - although he does his best not to so his body can actually get used to the power rather than have it just blow him up each time.

Also, I changed up Class 1A - and subsequently - 1B with swapping and moving around a few characters. I removed Mineta entirely and swapped Kinoko, Ibara, and Setsuna for Koda, Ojiro, and Sato. I just felt that some just didn't make sense to be in 1A as 'animal talking' and 'tail' just don't seem A material you know? Just my personal thoughts on the matter

Naruto and Aizawa also kind of buttheads a little bit as Aizawa, even with Naruto's quirk, isn't fond of recklessness and well, Naruto is naturally reckless. Aizawa will lessen up the more he sees Naruto fight and learns of the full extent of Naruto's powers.

Also, on the topic of 'butting heads', I'm not bashing Iida but with how he was introduced and then have him do a complete 180 always felt odd to me. It came off a bit like Hirokoshi maybe meant to have Iida a bit of an antagonist but quickly changed it, causing a bit of whiplash for me personally lol. He won't be that bad and he also will become how he is in canon after a bit.

With the class introductions I did my best to describe them a bit as if I did full descriptions and wrote out everything they said for the introductions of a class of 20 teens it'd take up sooooo much space and go on for far too long you know? Gotta know what parts you can summarize a touch so I hope this still works.

I personally like how I did things, tried to make them unique and even add some moments like with Himiko, Kyoka, and others even if slimmed down.


I hope you all liked it

Until Next Time
