Teaching at U.A. High School was not in the plan for Sakura Hatake. She originally planned to become a hero with her Sharingan Quirk and started a private investigation service which would slowly build over time. Only the female hero had personally been asked by principle Nezu to return to the U.A. High School as the combat instructor, but she hadn't been the only one asked back to U.A. High to teach the next generation of heroes, for several others had been requested back as well; Nemuri Kayama (Midnight), Hizashi Yamada (Present Mic) and Shota Aziawa (Eraserhead).
It had been rather strange seeing the three again, considering Sakura hadn't once kept in touch with any of the three heroes since Midnight graduated, and she hadn't spoken to Yamada and Aziawa since the death of Oboro Shirakumo, who had been her boyfriend at the time.
She would honestly say they drifted apart and had gone separate ways. Or maybe the death of her boyfriend, someone that kept them together, made her wish to forget the pain from the past.
Either way it didn't matter?
It shouldn't matter, but Shota Aziawa and his Class 1-A were late for the opening ceremony.
"For once I wished he brought his students to these things," Sakura grumbled underneath her breath, arms crossed out in front of her, red eyes watching the doors to the entrance way. "I can't believe Nezu allowed him to get away with this."
Midnight gave a small laugh before smiling in amusement. "Well, it is Shota." Stating the matter like it would solve everything.
"Yeah," She mumbled, crossing her arms. "I'm going to see how his little test is going with the new students. Hopefully he doesn't try to kick them out of the school-like last year."
Sakura turned on her heels before heading to the door and out into the hallway, walking down U.A. High School and headed toward the P.E. grounds. That was always the area where Shota did his little test to see if every new student at U.A. can handle his standards. Not the school standards-his. Which made the female roll her red eyes at the thought about which characteristic and skills Shota always wanted to see when it came to his students.
He's already at the ball throw, Sakura realized the moment the female arrived.
Mastermind's son, Kaito, stood already front and center in a P.E. uniform-much like every one of his Classmates- in the field with a baseball in his hands, the teen seemed bored by everything going on around him. He closed his blue-grey eyes, pulling back his arm where the ball was in his hand-where a blue-and white glove hides his scar, before a small spark of electricity hit the ball and sent it flying into the open air.
The baseball flew high into the sky, it didn't look like it was going to land as it headed up into space. Boy opened his blue-grey eyes, turning his head in the direction of Shota for his score. The phone Aziawa was holding showed the score of infinity.
"Infinity, serious!" Katsuki Bakugo-the kid who tied with Kaito for first place during the entrance exam- is a young man of average height, with a slim, muscular build, and a fair skin tone. He has short, spiky, sandy blonde hair with choppy bangs that hang over his eyebrows. His eyes are sharp and bright red in color.
"Nice work, Kaito," Izuku Midoriya congratulated, grinning. He was a kid short for his age, his round face framed by a short mess of fluffy dark-green hair which sticks up at odd angles around his head, casting noticeably dark shadows onto itself. His eyes are large and somewhat circular, their irises the same green color as his hair, which at times are very watery, and are usually stretched quite wide, giving him an innocent, energized appearance. He has a set of four symmetrical freckles in diamond formations, one on each cheek, but despite these prominent traits, he's often described by others as being plain-looking. He came in seventh in the entrance exam, breaking his whole arm and bones within his body-good thing recovery girl healed him.
Kaito walked over and stood next to a kid with glasses and Bakugo as a brown haired female stood up next to throw her ball.
The female's name was Ochaco Uraraka, a short girl of a slender yet curvaceous figure. She is fair-skinned with a perpetual blush on her cheeks. Her eyes are large and round, their irises a warm auburn brown, with rather thick upper eyelashes, two longer and more prominent ones protruding outwards on either side and fewer but more individually pronounced lower eyelashes. Shoulder-length and about the same color as her eyes, her hair is bobbed and curved inwards at the ends, two longer clumps taking the same shape on either side of her face, and short bangs that reach roughly a quarter of the way down her forehead. On the top inner segment of each of her fingers, she has a small, pinkish pad that's slightly darker than the rest of her skin, somewhat resembling the toe of a cat or a dog's paw, which she uses when activating and deactivating her Quirk-which was gravity.
Ochaco gripped the baseball, activated her quirk and threw it into the air. The ball sailed away and high into the sky-never to return just like Kaito's ball.
"Infinity?" The whole class exclaimed this time. "Again."
"That's insane."
"She got Infinity, too."
Midoriya started to shake within his bright red shoes, teeth clenched together, tightly. This is bad. It's not something simple that I can just do right away. Everyone's at least has had one crazy good score already. He moved forward next and picked up one of the baseballs from a box, he started down at it. All that's left is this, the long-distance run, sit-ups, and the seated toe-touch. It's now or never. He has to use his quirk or he'll end up being kicked out by Shota because Izuku will be ranked last at this rate. This is my best chance to use one for all.
"It doesn't look good for Midoriya," said Tenya Ida who was a relatively tall and muscular young man with a wide frame. He has short dark blue hair, flattened neatly down and parted on the right side of his head, a small patch completely shaved near the base of his head, and rather square eyes which match the notably pointed shape of his jaw. He usually wears a serious expression, and his eyebrows seem to be permanently pointed inwards, quite thin and long in length, the far ends sharply hooked inwards, and he wears glasses with rectangular lenses. Because of his Quirk, he possesses calves that are incredibly thick, and shaped like automobile engines, with six silver exhaust pipes protruding from each leg in columns of three. "If he doesn't shape up soon, he'll be the one going home?"
Kaito rolled his eyes at Tenya's words, annoyed. He rather not hear anything from someone who was already in a hero family.
"Of course he is," Bakugo shouts, pointing a finger at Deku. "He's a quirkless loser."
This statement seemed to catch Tenya off guard. "Huh? He has a quirk." Lida defended, saying he'd seen it during the entrance exam.
Sakura looked at the kids before settling her red eyes on Shota. Only to hear running behind her, turning around and saw All Might. "I guess you found out about what Shota does to the new arrivals at U.A.''
"Yeah, read his file. This is not good," He mumbled to himself, looking at Izuku.
Here we go, Shota thought to himself, eyeing Izuku. He knew at this point the kid was going to do something desperate and use that strange Quirk.
Izuku gritted his teeth together tightly, shut his green eyes, his arm glowing a strange color.
Kaito's eyes widened. That's not what we practiced. He thought with a grimace. That amount of power will break his body.
Shota activated his own quirk, shutting Midoriya's quirk off.
When the ball was thrown, it only went 46 meters.
Midoriya was dumbfounded. He didn't understand what had happened.
"Well, that's interference," Sakura said out loud, rolling her eyes. "This is the first time Shota is willing to make his students fail."
"What gives? I was trying to use it just now," Midoriya exclaimed, green eyes looking down at his hand in confusion.
"I erased your quirk," Shota answered, activating his quirk once again as his black hair and captured weapon started to float in the air around him, almost like a protective barrier.
Midoriya turned around, surprised that Shota had moved to stand only 12 inches in front of him.
"The judges for the entrance exam were definitely not rational enough. Someone like you, should never be allowed to reroll at this school," Aizawa explained, not trying to hold any of his bitterness back. He saw the scores for the entrance exam and concluded that Izuku was reckless-not wrong with that- but also didn't care about his own heal and safety while using his quirk.
"Wait, you did what to my quirk?" Izuku asked, only to go stiff. Green eyes focused on the yellow eyewear the teacher wore around his neck. "Those goggles...I see! I know you. You can look at someone and cancel out their power. The Erasure Hero; EraserHead!"
"Eraser? I don't know him." A student said, confused.
"Who's that?"
"I've heard of him. He's an underground hero."
"He works on the down low." A student explained to the class. Shota Aizawa was not one for the media.
"Well," Sakura said to All Might, looking toward the male and giving a small giggle. "Seems like Shota has a fan."
All Might still kept a smile on his face, but on the inside he was panicking. Aizawa's one of those heroes who doesn't like the media because he thinks they hinder with his work. And he judges heroes like me that look good in the spotlight. That's right, Young Midoriya. He and I don't get along.
"You're not ready. You don't have control over your power. Were you planning to break your bones again? Connecting with someone else to save your useless body."
Izuku tried to defend. "That's not my intention-"
Shota used his capture weapon, sending the grey wrapping forward and toward Izuku, wrapping the kid up and pulling him closer. No one could hear any more about what was being said between the two-not even Sakura. But All Might could hear the whole thing along with Kaito, who reached out with the Force to catch a small amount of it through Shota's mind.
"Whatever your intention," Shota told the kid, glaring down at him. "You'll be nothing more than a liability in battle." Getting injured while on the job wouldn't save anyone. It would only cause more danger. "You have the same reckless passion as another overly zealous hero I know." That was a burn to All Might, making the hero wince. "One who saved over a thousand people by himself and became a legend. But even with that drive-you're worthless if you can only throw a signal punch before breaking down. Sorry, Midoriya. With your power, there's no way you can become a hero."
Midoriya's green eyes widened, before he stopped them. He wasn't going to cry. He'd heard those words and phrases his entire life.
Shota let Izuku go. "I've returned your impractical quirk. You have two turns for the ball throw. Take your final throw. Hurry up and get it over with." He grumbled to himself, walking away.
All Might took in a deep breath.
"I wonder if our teacher gave him some advice," Tenya wondered, hand on his chin and in deep thought.
Bakugo, hands on his hips, answered; "Probably told him to start packing."
"I only have one chance at nailing this. So what am I going to do?" Izuku mumbled to himself.
Is he going to use his quirk and have to fourth it like a fool or settle into last place? Shota wondered to himself, bored, gripping his eye drops and placing them in his eyes. Sometimes his quirk gave him a dry eye. Either way. He doesn't belong here.
I still can't control my power. But I can't just give up either. Do I let the egg explode? Izuku wondered to himself, deeply thinking about every possible outcome. It might be my only shot at staying in the U.A. I have to try something.
Show him.
Izuku's eyes widened. Kaito.
Yeah. Just show him you can control it. Kaito spoke within Midoriya's mind, grinning to himself. Come on. You got this.
Izuku clenched his eyes shut. Thanks, Kite.
A waste of a quirk. Shota thought.
Izuku got ready to throw the ball, pulling his arm back. Mr. Aizawa was right about what he said. If I can't control my quirk, there's no way I'll ever become a hero.
"Hey, hey, is he serious?" All Might exclaimed.
Sakura raised an eyebrow at him.
I have to work a lot harder than anyone else if I want to exceed. Even if I have a lot to learn. I'll focus on what I can do for now. Midoriya thought to himself, his finger lighting up-the training that he did with cassia and Kaito fresh in his mind. Smash...! With that, the ball skyrocketed upward and high into the sky. It still hurts but not as much as before. Only one finger was broken and the boy was still standing.
The ball landed onto the ground. Shota's phone read; 705.3 meters.
"Mr. Aizawa," Izuku said, looking his teacher in the eyes. He brought his injured finger forward to hold onto his arm, gritting his teeth from the pain and answered. "I'm still standing." He was still standing even though he was in a whole lot of pain because of one finger. Only this time it was slightly different because he didn't break anyone's bones except for one in his index finger.
Aizawa was smiling, the brightest grin that Sakura has ever seen on his face in years, and exclaimed, "This kid..."
I came because I was worried, but what the heck, young man? All Might thought to himself in wonder, looking at Midoriya with pride. But you're doing a great job. You still couldn't control your power, but you also couldn't become incapacitated. So, you propelled the ball at the last possible point of contact by sending your power of One for All too just your fingertip. Minimizing the injury while maximizing the power...! What the heck, Young Midoriya. How did you go and become so cool?
"Seems like Shota's impressed," Sakura exclaimed to All Might, turning and looking at the number one hero that started to teach at U.A. High School. "First student I've seen in a long time that has impressed the man. Plus, All Might, you seem to-"
"Too what?"
"The boy with green hair-Midoriya. You seem interested in him with how you were reacting. First I thought you only came here to make sure Mastermind's kid was playing nice."
"Mastermind's kid is here. I didn't know that." All Might said, playing dumb.
Sakura was positive that All Might was playing dumb about everything. The black haired female wouldn't be surprise in the slightest if he did know Kaito and Izuku. How? She honestly didn't have the answer but chose to play along. "All Might, we told you about his kid being here this morning."
"Oh really. It seemed to have slipped my mind."
"Sure it did. Now mind telling me you're connected to Midoriya."
"I really support the underdog," The number one exclaimed, laughing.
"Okay. I see I'm not getting an answer anytime soon." She admits, grinning. She honestly believed that Shota would enjoy his class this year.
U.A. High School was going to be a whole lot of fun with this version of Class 1-A.
Yep. Kaito is in this story as well, but his main story is lifeline. Only Sakura's story isn't connected to Mirai's or his but a standalone. Sakura already knows about Mastermind and a few things.
So. We might not have been in Sakura's pov for long because I wanted to add in more parts of the episode along with some of the things I have planned for Kaito's story. Don't worry Sakura is the main character, but every oc I include is important and has a story of their own to play.
Before anyone ask who Mastermind is the guy is Kaito and Haruto's father, along with a former villain. And, yes, Sakura knows all about him because of her father, who is another villain that will have a role to play in the story later on.
Plus, Kaito and Mastermind have an ability to talk to anyone they have a close connection to within their minds. Which is how Kaito and Izuku can talk to each other within their minds. Along with the fact Sakura and Kaito both have the Sharingan, reason for that will be explained later on in the story.
