Hey guys I have come bearing the gift of chapter 3 today. As usual please tell me if you like the story and if there is anything I can improve on. And now on to the story.
dcsonic10: All relevant MHA characters will make an appearance in this story outside the usual side story lines though that won't happen until much later in the story.
Over the past two days Izuku had been given some time to familiarize himself with the layout of the village, where the academy would be and getting all his living arrangements in order.
He was both excited and nervous as today would be his first day at the Ninja Academy.
"I wonder what it's like at the academy?" Izuku thought to himself just as he was about to round a corner someone ran straight into him knocking him down.
"Owww…" was all he heard them groan out in pain. Clutching his head he looked up to see who had run into him he saw a boy around his age with spiky black hair, a blue jacket, and an orange tinted pair of goggles.
Despite his initial displeasure at being run into Izuku couldn't help but feel concerned about him as he the boy clutching his head in one hand asking "Hey are you alright?"
"Yeah I'm alright." The boy said as he reached out his hand to help Izuku up, Izuku gratefully accepting his help.
"Why are you in such a rush anyway?" Izuku asked curiously.
The boy went from somewhat calm to panicked in an instant shouting "Oh no I'm gonna be late for the academy entrance ceremony!"
Before he could rush off Izuku tapped his shoulder telling him "The academy entrance ceremony doesn't start until an hour from now."
The boy calmed down upon seeing that it was indeed too early in the morning for the entrance ceremony. He then laughed while rubbing the back of his head awkwardly telling Izuku "I guess I set my alarm too early huh."
Izuku had the feeling that this boy had a habit of being late.
"Sorry for running into you there." The boy apologized.
"It's ok." Izuku replied before asking the boy "What is your name?"
The boy smiled and said "My name is Obito Uchiha."
Obito then asked "What is your name?"
Izuku replied "My name is Izuku Midoriya, nice to meet you Obito." before extending his hand.
Obito grinned before grabbing Izuku's hand in a handshake and replying "Nice to meet you too Izuku." As the two walked towards the academy.
30 minutes later
As they approached the Academy Izuku noticed that they weren't the only ones there early. Before he could take note of his surroundings he saw Obito run up to a girl with brown hair and what looked like purple markings on her face.
The girl looked a little surprised before happily saying "Hi Obito you're here early."
"Nice to see you too, Rin." Obito greeted her happily.
Rin was about to say something else when she noticed Izuku standing behind Obito.
She smiled and asked "Hello what's your name?"
"Hi, my name is Izuku Midoriya." Said Izuku.
Rin introduced herself saying "Pleasure to meet you Izuku, my name is Rin Nohara."
Just as the three of them were about to start talking some more, a shinobi appeared with a stack of papers announcing to the students "New students please line up to receive your classroom assignments."
The students formed a line and one by one received a slip of paper. When Izuku got his he noticed that the information it contained was which class he was in.
As he got back near the entrance he heard Obito ask him "Hey Izuku which class did you get?"
Izuku looked at his sheet of paper and told Obito "I got classroom A, which classroom did you get?"
Obito grinned and replied "I got class A too."
He then noticed that Rin was approaching them from the small crowd and asked her "Hey Rin which class did you get?"
Rin replied cheerily "I got class A."
Obito then said happily "So we all got the same class then."
As Obito said that a shinobi with a brown ponytail and a mustache appeared and shouted so that all the students could hear him "All students of class A please follow me!"
Upon hearing that the new students of class A began to line up and follow the shinobi.
As they walked towards their class Izuku began to take note of some of his other classmates. He saw a kid with gravity defying silver hair and a mask. He then turned around and saw a boy with a black bowl cut and very large eyebrows.
Just as he was about to look around some more he heard the chunin say "Students we are here." before opening the sliding door and entering.
The room was very spacious with a large blackboard and desks that looked like they would be shared between multiple students. Before Izuku could look around further he heard the shinobi cough to gain the class's attention.
The shinobi introduced himself saying "Welcome class A my name is Ikkaku Umino, starting from today until your graduation I will be your chunin instructor, please take a seat while I perform a roll call."
As the students began to take their seats Izuku noticed Obito waving at him gesturing to the empty chair next to himself and Rin. Izuku walked over to the seat as Obito whispered to Izuku and Rin "So what do you think we will be doing today?"
Rin simply shrugged and whispered "I don't know but it probably has something to do with being a shinobi." As they went back to waiting for the roll call to end.
"Kakashi Hatake." The boy with silver hair raised his hand before putting it down again.
"Maito Gai." An energetic shout of "Here." was heard from the boy with large eyebrows.
"Obito Uchiha." Obito responded "Here."
"Rin Nohara." Ikkaku asked to be met with a "Present." From said girl.
Finally Izuku heard his name and he nervously said "Here." before beginning to tune out the rest of the roll call.
Ikkaku, finally ending the roll call, said to his new students "Today we will have a test."
Immediately groans could be heard and with even a few students smacking their heads on the desks. They were ignored by Ikkaku who handed out copies to the nervous students.
As Izuku was given his test he saw that it was divided into two parts, one part about the history of Konoha and the other about normal subjects like math and geography. Even if he couldn't pass this test he resolved to do his best.
After the test
A shout of "Times up!" Was heard from Ikkaku as the students put down their pencils. Izuku then looked around the room to see how everyone else was doing.
Obito was shaking and looked pale. Rin looked a little nervous. Kakashi, if Izuku remembered correctly, appeared fine though if one looked closely they would see his hands were trembling slightly. The kid with the large eyebrows Gai if he remembered his name looked a little worse for wear. As he was about to look around some more he heard Ikkaku say happily "I think now would be a good time to tell you my students that this test isn't going to be graded."
Sighs of relief could be heard from around the class before Ikkaku sternly stated "Yes while this test will not be graded, that does not mean you should let your guard down after all this is all to prepare for a profession where you will be risking your lives."
Ikkaku then told the students "That will be all for the day. Tomorrow we begin sparring and ninjutsu lessons." As many students smiled at that last bit of information.
With that the students began to file out of the classroom. Izuku getting ready to head home was interrupted by a shout of "Hey Izuku!"
As he turned around he saw Obito and Rin approaching him with Rin asking "You wanna walk home with us?" Izuku simply nodded in response as the three of them began to walk home together.
Despite the pleasantness of being able to make friends with other kids because of his quirklessness he couldn't help but think worriedly "I hope Mom is doing alright."
Back with Inko
Inko was pacing back and forth in her home, tears spilling from her eyes. It had been 2 days since Izuku had gone missing, 2 days since she had called the police, 2 days and no update on whether or not Izuku had been found. Inko thought to herself, scared "Izuku please come home."
Inko right now was hoping above all that Izuku was safe wherever he was and that he would eventually return home to her safely.
Unknown to both mother and child at the time while Izuku would eventually return home it would take a long time before that would happen.
Elsewhere in Izuku's home world
Katsuki Bakugou was having a standard boring day at school but there was something bothering him, it was the fact that Izuku wasn't at school today. Katsuki was also worried because the night he and Deku got into that fight his mom had gotten a call from his auntie Inko about how Izuku hadn't come home at his usual time. After that call they had had no updates from her at all.
Katsuki began to think to himself "Deku may be useless but he isn't dumb enough to get lost especially when the parks not even a 10 minute walk from his house, I couldn't have hurt him that badly now did I?"
Shaking his head in a vain attempt to break that train of thought Katsuki thought to himself "You damn nerd if you didn't make it home I swear…"
Finally with the bell sounding the end of classes for today Katsuki got up trying not to think too much about that phone call from Inko.
And cut. Like usual please tell me what you think of this chapter and if there is any way for me to improve this story. The next chapter will cover more of Izuku's time at the Ninja Academy.
