Coco: Hello, everyone! Here's Coco with an update, and a little heads up that I went back and edited chapter three, so it's a bit different. And you'll probably need to go back and reread it, so not to be confused. Hope it isn't too much of a bother.

Also, you'll notice quite a few more characters that are of my creation. Like classes 1-A and 1-B will be getting four students each to keep the numbers even in team ups and such. There will also be new teachers at U.A. Like teachers who run programs like fine arts classes, sports classes, and such. I just want to show the students getting into other normal school activities even if they're training to be heroes, and it'll give me chances to lengthen the arcs. Some stuff happens pretty fast, and I just want to slow it down a bit since Ayano and Katsuki getting together is going to be a bit of a slow burn. Furthermore, there will be new villains they will have to face in little mini arcs I'm working on, and to add on to the League of Villains. Not too many of those though.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter :D

Timed passed in a blur after that, and before Ayano knew it, it was time to start off to her new life at U.A High. She walked through the gates wearing her knew uniform while heading for the room that would hold her class—Class 1-A. There were only two classes that were set on the Hero Course, and each class had twenty-four students.

Though there were only forty-four of them that were accepted for the Hero Course through the exams while four other students were sent their on recommendations from pro-heroes. Ko had always said he'd recommend her when her time came, but she told him he'd make it on her own. And she did make it on her own. She had even rushed to the hospital to tell him the great news that she was one of the forty-eight accepted this year.

It wasn't many first years, but U.A was very exclusive. Only those who proved they had enough talent and potential were accepted. And three of those first years were from little Aldrea Junior High. The first in the school's history to ever be accepted to U.A. Of course, Katsuki hadn't been happy that Ayano and Izuku both made it like he had.

He even tried to threaten them to drop out, but Ayano just brushed off his threats. Hence why she's making her way to class. She wondered what her classmates would be like. Hopefully better than her last ones. She frowned with Katsuki's raging face appearing in her mind. Would be she lucky enough not to be in the same class as him?

"Probably not." She deadpanned to herself aloud.

Well, at least she knew how to handle him. She felt more sympathetic towards their new classmates who had no idea how much of a brute Katsuki was. Ayano came out of her thoughts when she heard someone calling out to her. Or at least she thought they were addressing her since they were calling out—!

"Hey, ginger girl! Hey!"

Ayano turned around in the hall while ignoring some of the looks the upper classmen were giving. Her eyes landed on the web-slinger from the exams as he was jogging up to her. He had a grin on his face as he came to a stop in front of Ayano. He chuckled looking a bit sheepish as he finally caught up to her.

"Sorry for calling out to you like that." He said. "I just don't know your name, but I recognized you from the exam. Glad to see you made it in. Though I thought you would with your skill. You killed it out there, seriously! I'm Nida Hachiro by the way."

He half-bowed his head to her with that grin remaining on his face. He seemed like a nice guy, and if he was going to be one of her classmates, she could definitely live with it. He was a major improvement of some of her old classmates.

"Ishida Ayano." She introduced herself. "It's nice to meet you, Nida-kun."

"Totally." Hachiro said. "Are you heading to Class 1-A too?"

Ayano nodded her head, and Hachiro suggested they could walk together. Ayano agreed with the two of them falling into step alongside each other to head to class.

"So why are you here to be a hero?" Hachiro asked. "If you don't mind me asking."

"I don't mind." Ayano said. "I'm…I'm here for my brother."

It was a partial lie since Ayano was more here to prove to herself that her quirk wasn't just some curse. That it could be used for some good, but she didn't know Hachiro well enough to tell him her problems with her quirk. She doesn't even talk to Katsuki and Izuku about it.

"Family, huh?" Hachiro asked. "Me too. My family has been in the hero business for a few generations now. My parents are pro-heroes, and some of my older brothers too. I have some who are third-years here, and a lot of people are expecting them to be great just like the rest of my family."

"You have seven older brothers, yes?" Ayano inquired. "That is why you are called Hachiro?"

It did mean eighth son, which is why Ayano made the assumption. And he did keep talking about having brothers.

"Yeah." Hachiro said nodding. "I know it's a lot, but they were born in sets. My eldest brothers are triplets then there are my other brothers who are quadruplets. I'm the only one born solo. But they've all done great things, so I have to do my best! Can't go embarrassing the family business. You're looking at the next great rescuer of the Pack Rescue Company."

Ayano blinked a bit surprised. She knew of that pro-hero agency. She was sure everyone in Japan did. It was agency run by a family of pro-heroes who were all gifted with animal quirks. Each of them perfect for certain rescue operations. Cave rescues, air rescues, water recues—etc. Their only real rivals were the Pussycats, but the Pussycats only did mountain rescues. Everything else was basically left to the Pack Rescue Company for other natural disaster rescues, and even rescue operations that involve heavy combat with villains.

"You certainly have a lot to live up to." Ayano said.

"Yeah," Hachiro agreed while looking a bit nervous. "I just hope I don't let my old man down or my brothers. I'm the first arachnid born into the family, and I don't even look like the animal I take after. You wouldn't even think I'm part of the family. Most people don't even believe me when I say I'm a member of the Pack Rescue Family. Even so, I can't let them down, so I guess I'm a bit worried."

He sighed hanging his head, and Ayano sweat-dropped while wondering if she had said the wrong thing.

"I'm sure you'll do great." Ayano said trying to smile though she was sure it looked more like a grimace.

She wasn't good with comforting people since she usually kept to herself. Sure, she tries to keep Izuku's spirits up from time to time, but he's different. He's the little adorable dork from her childhood. The little boy who would come to her when Katsuki was being a jackass. She was practically certified to cheer up Izuku and keep him as safe as possible from Katsuki. Other people not so much. She must have done something right though since Hachiro grinned.

"Thanks, Ishida." Hachiro said. "And I'm sure you'll make your brother proud too! We just have to do our best."

Ayano nodded as the two continued on to their classroom. It only took a few more turns until they finally came to a stop in front of a large door marked 1-A.

"What's up with this school and giant doors?" Ayano asked with a quirked brow.

"Do you have a thing against big doors, Ishida?" A familiar voice asked.

She and Hachiro looked to the left seeing Eijiro walking their way with a large friendly grin on his face. Looks as if there's another person from their block joining them in Class 1-A.

"Not particularly, Kirishima-kun." Ayano said. "I just don't understand the need for such a large door."

Eijiro shrugged with the grin still on his face. He then noticed Hachiro, and he stuck out his hand.

"Hey, man, I'm Kirishima Eijiro." He said. "I recognize you from our block."

"Yeah, I remember you too." Hachiro said as he took Eijiro's hand. "My name is Nida Hachiro."

Once the boys finished their greetings, they looked to Ayano who had patiently waited for them to get through.

"Shall we head inside?" She asked. "I can already hear our classmates inside."

She really could hear a whirlwind of thoughts coming from inside. One of those voices being Katsuki. She knew there would be no getting rid of him. She supposes it's just fate keeping them together.

"Yeah, let's go." Eijiro said grinning.

Hachiro nodded, so Ayano reached out to grab the door handle. She opened the door while stepping inside with her new companions. Some of students who were whispering together stopped to look at their arrival.

"My name is Ishida Ayano." She said dipping her head to everyone. "Pleasure to meet you all. I hope we can get along."

As the boys gave their own greetings, some called back their greetings of their own as Ayano lifted her head. Ayano's eyes met Katsuki's, and she saw the frown on his face as he was leaned back in his seat with his foot on his desk. He definitely wasn't happy about any of this. Though she already knew he wouldn't be, so she honestly could care less if he was happy or not at the moment. She continued looking around while spotting a few other familiar faces.

The paper girl who had helped them save that girl with the broken leg was there, and she was sitting behind a boy with darker blonde hair and a tail. She leaned in whispering something to him before she stood. She walked up to Ayano and Hachiro while acknowledging Eijiro with a nod before giving her sole focus to the prior two.

"I thought I would see you both here." She said. "I never had the chance to properly introduce myself after our team-up during the exams. I am Kurafutoshi Konan. I hope we all work well together in the future as we had done during the exams."

She spoke in a rather former tone though it wasn't exactly like stiff or unfriendly. It was just as if she was one of those serious types. Kind of like the boy Ayano had a slight altercation with before the exams. Ayano hopes this doesn't cause her and Konan to clash as well.

"Yeah, we should totally team up again." Hachiro said as he put his hands behind his head. "Along with that speed girl. Is she here?"

He looked around the classroom for her along with Ayano, but Ayano didn't see Ayumi.

"Not yet, but I am sure we will see her here." Konan said. "She had a high score in the exams. Higher than mine I'm sure, which means I must do better than her next time if I am to improve."

Yep, definitely the serious type. She'd probably be great friends with that other guy. Konan then excused herself to return to her seat where her friend gave her look that looked amused. As if he was used to her serious, formal attitude to the point it amused him. They must be very old friends like Ayano is with Katsuki and Izuku. She wonders when Izuku would ever get here. She hopes he isn't late on the first day.

"She seems nice." Hachiro said.

"A bit intense though." Eijiro said. "Anyway, where should we sit? There are plenty of free seats left."

That was true, but none of them were really close together, so if Eijiro wanted them to sit near each other, Ayano didn't think it'd be happening. Besides, if she took the seat behind Katsuki, she could probably safe the one behind that for Izuku. Before she could reply to Eijiro's question, the door to the room opened again with that boy, who had asked about the fourth robot, walking in. He calmly walked in with his head high before noticing Ayano, which brought him to a stop.

Ayano tilted her head wondering if she was going to have a problem with a fellow student. She was already going to have a problem with a certain ash blonde. But with Katsuki it was expected, but she usually didn't have problems with others. Even the students at her old school. She mostly ignored them, and they ignored her for the most part. Though they did know not to mess with her when her temper did flare. However, this guy was different, and she did kind of cut this guy off in front of everyone. However, instead of looking upset, he seemed to steel himself before walking over to Ayano.

"Hello, my name is Iida Tenya." He said. "I would like to apologize for the other day. You were right to say it was…uncool of me to call out your companion. I hope you can accept my apology."

He bowed his head to her while obviously taking what happened between them to heart.

"Please, don't worry about it." Ayano said as she made her way over to the seat behind Katsuki. "It wasn't as if we had been in a serious altercation. Let's just try to get along since we'll be in class together, Iida-kun."

Tenya raised his head seeming a bit surprised that Ayano wasn't more upset with him. What he didn't know is that Ayano has dealt with much worse than a small tiff between her and someone else. But once he starts getting to know Katsuki along with the rest of their classmates, he'll understand.

"I'm Ishida Ayano by the way." Ayano said holding out her hand.

Tenya reached out to take her hand, but Katsuki seemed to catch his eye. He gasped while walking right passed Ayano to the blonde. Ayano blinked in confusion before turning to see Tenya was frowning disapprovingly at Katsuki.

"Take your feet off that desk right now!" Tenya ordered.

Instead of immediately losing his temper, Katsuki smirked up at Tenya not seeming very impressed.

"Huh?" Katsuki questioned obviously trying to egg Tenya on.

Ayano supposed she should just be grateful that he just didn't immediately explode the second Tenya yelled at him.

"It's the first day, and you're already disrespecting this academy by scuffing school property, you Cretan!" Tenya said.

Yep, this guy was way too serious about everything it would seem. And he was about to learn that Katsuki doesn't give a shit about anything that he's saying.

"You're kidding me right?" Katsuki asked. "Your old school put a stick up your ass? Or were you born with it?"

Ayano said nothing though knew this couldn't end very well, and soon someone would lose their temper. Probably Katsuki. Tenya was obviously taken back by Katsuki's questions before he seemed to come up with a different angle.

"Let's start over." He said while placing his hand over his chest. "I'm Iida Tenya from the Soumei Private Academy."

Ayano let out a mental whistle because that was pretty impressive. Though she wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these kids came from private academies or junior highs with more prestige than their old one. Though it doesn't take much to outdo Aldrea.

"Soumei, huh?" Katsuki said not getting any friendlier. "So you must think you're better than us."

He gestured to himself and Ayano, and Ayano sighed wishing he hadn't brought her into this.

"I'm going to have fun tearing you a new one." Katsuki said.

Tenya gasped at Katsuki's threat as Ayano let out another sigh, which is something she does a lot around Katsuki. She knew the threats were coming. She was actually surprised they took so long to come out of his mouth.

"You would threaten me?!" Tenya asked. "Your own classmate? Are you sure you're in the right place?!"

Katsuki scoffed rolling his eyes as Ayano guessed she should try to keep the damage down to a minimal.

"Please, overlook Katsuki." Ayano said as she set her things down. "He has no manners whatsoever, and basically has the temperament of a rabid animal."

She said this so bluntly some of her class sweat-dropped. Said boy with the rabid animal temperament turned to glare at Ayano.

"What was that, Aya?!" Katsuki demanded as a certain someone was watching from the opened doorway with wide eyes. "Maybe I should tear you a new one first!"

Ayano rolled her eyes at Katsuki while waving off his threat since she's used to them.

"Yes, yes, I've heard it all before." She said to Katsuki. "Please, try to come up with something else because your old threats are getting boring."

Katsuki growled about to tell her to shove her attitude up her ass when he finally noticed Izuku, who had been standing there for some time, at the door. He frowned while completely forgetting about Ayano. Her brow quirked noticing that his attention was elsewhere, so she looked as well to see Izuku. Funny…she hadn't heard this thoughts to alert her that he was here. Was she that focused on Katsuki? She decided to forget about Katsuki though as she looked to their childhood friend.

"No reason to be shy, Izuku." She said. "The only one who seems to bite here is Katsuki, but you're used to that, aren't you?"

The class seemed to frown in confusion as to whom she was talking to before noticing the boy in the doorway as well. Izuku jumped at all the attention

"Oh, um, hi!" He said unable to meet all their gazes.

Tenya seemed to forget all about Katsuki as well as he went to say hello to Izuku. When he was gone, she looked down to Katsuki who had raging thoughts running through his head as he wondered how Izuku got in.

"I wouldn't worry too much about it." Ayano said. "Wouldn't want your head to explode. Though I suppose it does that on a daily basis."

Katsuki sent a glare her way as another one of their new classmates—a girl who seemed to know Izuku—arrived. She added into the conversation Izuku and Tenya were having, but Ayano and Katsuki continued to have their own conversation.

"Shut-up." Katsuki grumbled. "I was supposed to have gotten rid of you losers."

His whole plan of being the only one accepted into U.A from their loser school was out the window because of these two. He couldn't seem to shake them. It was really starting to piss him off.

"I was hoping to be rid of you as well." Ayano said honestly. "But it seem as if the universe has different plans."

"The universe can suck it for all I care." Katsuki said.

"How did I know you were going to say that?" Ayano asked sarcastically.

Katsuki just grunted in return, which had Ayano nearly rolling her eyes. However, she decided to just go and see who this girl was that knew Izuku. She could see in the girl's head that she was excited for their first day at school, and ready to make new friends along with starting her journey to being a hero. Of course, she didn't need to read her mind to know those things since she was talking at a rate that almost matched how fast Ayumi was talking to the frog girl before the exams.

Speaking of Ayumi, Ayano was certain she heard her mental voice getting closer. Next thing anyone knew is that a silver streak zoomed into the room with enough force it sent papers flying and hair lashing around the faces of their owners. Thanks to having short hair, it didn't bother Ayano as much, and she turned to look at the speed girl as Ayumi came to a stop. The speedster certainly didn't look ready for school since she was missing her jacket, her shirt was partially unbuttoned to reveal a black tank top underneath with a lightning bolt on the front, and she was wearing silver sequin high-tops instead of her loafers provided by the school. Though Ayano didn't seem the problem with some personalization.

"Just a second to spare." Ayumi said grinning to herself.

As the rest of the class gawked at her as if she was an alien, Ayano noticed another voice had entered their space. It was calm and deep, and obviously belonged to a man, which had her looking out the door and down at the floor. Ayano blinked when seeing the unkempt man in the sleeping bag on the floor. He looked back up at her while acting as if a grown man in a sleeping bag on the floor was normal.

"Hey, Ayano, is something wrong?" Izuku asked noticing her attention was elsewhere as did Tenya and the girl.

Ayano looked back at Izuku then pointed to the floor, which had Izuku looking down. His eyes widened when seeing what she was seeing.

"There's a large caterpillar on the floor." She said.

This had Tenya and the other girl looking as well with their eyes widening when they saw the man.

"If you're just here to make friends then you can pack up your stuff now." The "caterpillar" said.

Ayano and Izuku exchanged a look with the latter asking Ayano if she knew what was up with this guy.

'Apparently, he's the homeroom teacher,' She replied to him mentally.

At least that's what she got from the guy's thoughts. He was thinking about how much of drag this would be to have to teach them, and how he was sure half of the class would be sent home before the end of the day.

'No way!' Izuku replied in the same manner.

Ayano nodded to show she was being serious before the two of them looked back at their teacher.

"Welcome to U.A's Hero Course." He said then unzipped his sleeping back partially to pull out a food pouch.

He sucked the last bit of it dry as Ayano's three classmates practically hid behind her feeling freaked out. Even Tenya didn't want to get too close to the caterpillar man. Said man managed to stand with ease while still inside his sleeping back though he started to unzip it.

"It took eight seconds before you all shut up." He said then stepped out of the sleeping bag. "That's not gonna work. Time is precious. Rational students would understand that."

The entire class just went silent as they looked at their new teacher obviously trying to decide what they thought of him.

"Hello, I'm Aizawa Shota." He said. "Your teacher."

He then started digging inside his sleeping bag before pulling out what looked like a gym uniform.

"Right, let's get to it." He said. "Put these on and head outside."

No one moved at first, but Ayano supposed they were just wasting time, so she reached out to take the first uniform from Aizawa. She saw there was name on the tag.

"Kacchan, this is yours." She said using her telekinesis to pass it to him.

He took it without question as Ayano used her telekinesis to pull out of the rest of the uniforms. Some of the class watched in awe as Ayano sorted through the uniforms.

"Ashido Mina?" She called out.

"Me!" A pink-skinned girl said raising her hand.

Ayano sent the uniform to her then started calling out other names, and sending the uniforms to the right owner. As she worked, Aizawa watched her. So she was the take charge kind of person, was she? Just like Ko. Ayano blinked looking towards Aizawa as she picked up his thoughts. He knew Ko?

"After getting your gym clothes go to the changing rooms." Aizawa, who decided to ignore her inquiring look, said looking to his entire class. "And be quick about it. Don't waste my time."

He started leaving the classroom as Ayano was finishing handing out the gym clothes.

"Here you are, Izuku." Ayano said giving him. "Iida-kun."

She gave the taller student his as well, and he thanked her before hurrying out the door to get dressed. Ayano then turned to the girl.

"And you must be Uraraka Ochaco." Ayano said turning to the girl who had been speaking with Izuku and Tenya.

She held out the girl's uniform by hand instead of mind, and Ochaco smiled while taking it.

"Yeah, thanks." She said nodding. "Well, I guess we better go get changed. I wonder what we're going to do!"

Ayano wasn't sure since she hadn't peeked that much inside their new teacher's head. Though she had a feeling some things wouldn't be pleasant.

In the changing rooms, the girls all quickly put on their gym clothes though chatted as well to get to know each other a bit before having to meet the rest of their class.

"I'm kind of worried about all this." The invisible girl of their class—Hagakure Toru said as she sat on the bench in the locker rooms.

"I'm not." Ayumi said as she put her hair up in a ponytail. "I'm just here because my dad told me to get in. If I pass, I pass. If I fail, I fail. I don't care either way."

She then kicked her locker door shut with a bothered look on her face. Ayano knew it was none of her business, but she peeked a bit inside Ayumi's head to see what the girl was thinking.

'Stupid old man,' Ayumi was thinking. 'He thinks putting me here is suddenly going to change things. He's just sending me here to be out of his way, but I won't let him push me to the side so easily. I will get him to notice me.'

Ayano left the silver-haired girl's thoughts not needing to hear more to know Ayumi and her father—Warp—didn't have the best relationship. It looks as if Ayumi isn't as carefree and happy as she lets people believe. It was none of Ayano's business in the end though, so she dropped out of the silver-headed girl's mind. Ayano finished putting on her gym clothes while noting they fit perfectly. She wasn't sure who made these gym uniforms, but she quiet liked them.

"I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, Hagakure-san." Konan said respectfully. "We just need to do our best out there."

Toru seemed to move a bit, so Ayano assumed the girl was nodding her head, but it was hard to tell when you could only see the girl's clothes moving—not the actual girl. Ayano then shut her locker door while hoping no one would mess with her stuff while she's outside with her class.

"Well, I'm excited!" Mina said grinning.

"Me too!" Ochaco said smiling as well.

As the girls continued talking, Ayano realized she liked the atmosphere around them. Yes, their thoughts were buzzing with possibilities of what could be happening. It was kind of loud, but nothing unbearable. And she found she liked their mental presences better than the mental presences of her last class. It looks as if she finally found a classroom full of students that she didn't want to strangle to shut them up. It only took going through kindergarten, grade school, middle school, and junior high to find that class. However, Ayano supposed better late than never. Not that she could sit her and enjoy it for long since they did have somewhere to be.

"Maybe we should get going." Ayano said to her new classmates. "Aizawa-sensei obviously doesn't like to be kept waiting."

"She's right." Yaoyorozu Momo said. "We better join the others soon."

The rest of the girls agreed while heading outside the changing room to start heading outside.

"Hey, is it just me, or does Aizawa-sensei seem a bit…unhinged?" Jiro Kyoka asked as they walked.

"You have to be crazy to wiggle around on the floor like a caterpillar as if it's completely normal." Ayano said.

Some of the girls laughed at her comment, which had Ayano's lips twitching up partially. Maybe she'd actually make some friends of the female persuasion at this school. She's only had Katsuki all her life and Izuku most of her life as friends, and you couldn't really have girl conversations with them. Especially not Katsuki. Never with Katsuki.

"So you know the boy with the bad attitude and the guy with messy hair, right?" Mina asked as she walked alongside Ayano. "Did you all like come from the same junior high as Kirishima and I did?"

It seems as if Ayano and the boys weren't the only multiple accepted graduates from the same junior high. Though she already expected that when Konan was speaking with such familiarity to Ojiro Mashirao in the classroom.

"Yes, but I've known them since I was little." Ayano said. "Kacchan and I have even shared a crib before. Our parents were scheduling playdates since we were still in diapers."

"That's adorable!" Ochaco gushed as she placed her hands to her cheeks.

Ayano sweat-dropped while not sure she'd agreed. She doesn't remember much from her time in the crib with Katsuki, but his mother has enough documented evidence in the form photos of him either pulling her hair or hogging the crib. Even then he was basically a jerk.

"You even have nicknames for each other." Mina said. "Right? You just called him Kacchan and he calls your Aya. Are you sure you two aren't more than just childhood friends?"

She grinned at Ayano while nudging her as the other girls seemed curious as well.

"I am not the only who calls him Kacchan." Ayano said. "Our other friend Izuku does as well. It's just a name we used for him as children, and it's kind of stuck to him even after all this time. He even still calls me Aya and Izuku—he still calls him Deku."

"Then you three must be close like Mashirao and I." Konan said. "I have known him since we were in diapers as well."

"Well, we're not exactly that close." Ayano said as she scratched the back of her head. "Not anymore. Izuku and I still get along just fine, but Katsuki…I might know him well enough and still call him my friend…but we're not exactly the best of buddies or anything."

But despite their differences, Ayano would come to his aid in a heartbeat if needed even if he didn't appreciate it.

"I dunno." Mina said as she tilted her head towards Ayano. "I still think you and Bakugo could be cute together. Even if he does have the personality of a rabid animal as you said it."

Some of the girls laughed as Ayano grew silent. Her and Katsuki cute together? No, if they were to ever get together, it'd be the day the world ended. Probably not even then. The group finally made it outside while seeing Aizawa and the boys were waiting for them.

"Finally." Aizawa said. "You're wasting time, girls. Hurry it up. It's time to start the quirk assessment test."
