Is this thing on? I sure hope it is. So... Hello you wonderful people. Some of you may know me, some of you may not, but most of you hate me for leaving this story, and abandoning you, my dear readers. I know it'll be hard to regain your interest and/or trust, but... I think I'm back. I finished my education a couple of months ago and stuff so... yeah, had to focus a bit. It is not an excuse for me, but don't let it ruin this story.
I hope that you can come back to this fanfiction and dive into the plot once again to enjoy it together with me, while sharing your thoughts and ideas!
As always, already thanks, for the possible support
Class 1-A spent both Thursday and Friday on getting familiar with the school layout and meeting their teacher. They were surprised to see, that all of them were quite known Pro Heroes like Midnight, Cementoss and Present Mic. They also took some time and went over everything that happened in their first combat training. It turned out, that Bakugo's team run into Uraraka's while they were following Iida. Tenya also made it very clear that he was not at all satisfied with the outcome of their training, because they were the only one's, that didn't get to see any action that day. But, despite his words and the support of his teammates, they still were the winner.
"Sometimes hero has to pick his fights and not throw himself into the action headfirst", rationalized Midoriya while they were sitting in the cafeteria. Next to Iida sat Uraraka and Bakugo, while Todoroki occupied the seat next to Izuku. This was a quick arrangement that had to come up with, because it was quite packed today and finding an empty seat was a task not everyone was up to.
"Like hell he does!", unrationalized Bakugo? Is unrationalized even a word? "You're the one, who decided that fighting against a student who got in with a recommendation and a student who got the top score in the practical entrance exam was a good idea!"
"You also jumped through fire just to land a hit on me. It hurt like hell, but I think, that the feeling was mutual, huh Midoriya?", Todoroki added.
Izuku only smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head.
"It sound like quite a fight Midoriya. Now I'm even more disappointed, that I didn't get to be involved in it", exclaimed Iida, while looking at the green haired student.
Their conversation was quickly cut by Kirishima who walked up to them and told Bakugo, that they had and empty seat. The explosive teen stood up, shouted 'See you later Extras!' and left. Moments later Todoroki finished his meal and also left, leaving Uraraka, Iida and Midoriya by themselves.
"So… y-you two know each other?", asked Izuku after the silence became too uncomfortable for him.
"Yeah, we went to the same middle school and were classmates for its entirety", beamed Ochako.
"It's amazing that you both managed to get into UA and even land in the same class"
"I think that this was what gave us energy. We knew, that we had to prepare for the entrance exam as much as we could, if we were to meet here, in the most prestigious hero school in Japan", explained Iida with a satisfied smile.
"So… you two are a thing, if I understand correctly", Midoriya stated the obvious and saw both of them redden on their faces.
"W-well I wouldn't call us a t-ting i-if ya… um… Oh, how, h-hot it got in here! I-I thinkt I will go and catch some f-fresh air!", Ochako mumbled quickly and shot out of cafeteria.
"I just remembered, that we have PE next, so I'll go and do a lap around the school to get myself warmed up!", said more composed Iida, but Izuku could swear, that the ends of his exhaust were heated up.
"Yeah… definitely a thing", he thought as he deadpanned at their embarrassment.
The first week of school passed without any more major events. The second one followed suite as the students mainly focused on normal high school classes and getting started on various hero and Quirk laws and , being the observant guy he was, given his enhanced sight, managed to spot some groups form in his class.
Explodee Boys - Bakugo, Kirishima and Sero
Gossip Club - Hagakure, Aoyama, Yaoyorozu, Mina, Jirou and Kaminari
Commoners - Iida, Uraraka, Ojiro, Sato and Asui
And the loose group dubbed Margin - Mineta, Koda, Todoroki, Tokoyami and Shoji… and Midoriya to some extent. This was mostly the waiting room for everyone without a group. Izuku was not the most sociable person on the planet, so he has quickly fallen in line with the usual suspects of borderlining.
Everything was going smoothly until one day, Aizawa walked into class and said something, that sent chills down their spines.
"Today, you have a special task at hand", stated the Pro Hero while looking at his class with sleep deprived eyes; everyone sweating in their seats. "You will be choosing your Class Rep and his or hers second in command"
"Just normal high school activity", everyone sweatdropped and breathed a sigh of relief. And then, nearly all of them started stating, that they are the best for the position. The sad thing was, that the most capable ones, were sitting quietly and didn't care about the position at all. Well… with a small exception of Iida Tenya, who started karate chopping his recommandation of himself.
"H-how about we do an anonymous vote?", Midoriya said loud enough for everyone to hear him clearly without shouting.
"That's an excellent idea Midoriya!", commanded Iida with a series of karate chops.
"So, how are we going to do this?", asked Kirishima after a couple of seconds passed.
"Everyone will write their vote on a piece of paper and we will then count all the votes", explained Izuku, his classmates eyes focused on him with some exceptions.
And, weirdly enough, everybody was cool with his idea and they decided to follow his lead. After all the votes were collected came the most stressful or exciting (it depends on who you asked) moment. The counting. While everything went quite smoothly, Midoriya was growing moore and more unnerved with each time that he saw his name pop up. The end results were… were… let's keep it at that.
Midoriya - 6
Yaoyorozu - 5
Mineta - 3
Iida - 3
and 3 blank ones.
"H-how did I tie with someone like Mineta?", thought depressed Iida.
"Kaminari! Our only chance at making skirts shorter is gone!", screamed mentally Mineta.
"W-why am I at the top?!", panicked Midoriya. "S-so, t-these are t-the end re-results", stated the green haired student.
"Congrats Midori! You too Yaomomo!", shouted Mina and some of their classmates followed her example and congratulated the two.
"It still does not make any sense… 6 voted? From who?", Midoriya was sitting by himself in the cafeteria, which was not nearly as packed as last week. He was too preoccupied with his thoughts to notice that he wasn't sitting alone anymore.
"Um, Midoriya, is everything okay?", he heard a voice and instinctively turned in its direction, only to see a facefull of Yaoyorozu that has taken a seat right beside him.
"O-oh, y-yes! A-alright everything! I mean, e-everything alright…", he overreacted as his face turned red and his eyes darted away from her. "Just trying to figure out h-how exactly I m-managed to get so many v-votes…", Izuku explained after he regained his composure.
"Well, you can count me as if I were your first", Momo said with a bright smile. Only his crimson red cheeks made her aware of the words that she chose and what other meaning they could possess. "I-I mean, as-s if I w-were your first s-supporter!", she whisper shouted and quickly turned the other way with her face rivaling his in terms of redness.
"Y-yeah, t-that's e-exactly what I t-thought about-", was his less than composed answer.
"Aaaand you can count us in too!", exclaimed happily Mina, as she approached the awkward duo along with Jirou.
"O-oh no… If they knew what we were talking about", panicked thoughts run through her mind like speeding vehicle on a red light. "Then they must've heard the words I spoke to M-midoriya!", the black haired teen looked at her friends, who decided to sit with them and noticed their devious grins. "I just gave them month worth of material to tease me with… Ohh, I'm so doomed"
"So, Midori, how does it feel knowing that Yaoyorozu was your first?", Ashido looked at the green boy in question and smirked teasingly.
"I'm so sorry Midoriya!", Momo shouted internally and made a mental note to make it up to him some day.
Meanwhile the lean, mean, green machine was turned into overdrive, with multiple trains of thoughts running through his mind, colliding with each other and… Let's just say that it was complete and utter cluster fuck on the inside, while the outside remained red and still. The girl were sure, that if this keeps up any longer, his face could never fully lose the red color, that was now visible.
"M-mina, don't you think, that you went… Umm, a timsy wimsy bit overboard?", wandered Kyouka while looking at the mess of a boy sitting with them.
"W-well, I… I didn't expect… this", the pinkette said while pointing at Izuku.
"Why do I have to be so socially awkward?!", was his only sensible thought in that moment.
It may have only been three weeks since the begging of the school year, but Izuku was so tired of all the shit that happened, that he felt is if it were three months rather than three weeks. And then, just as he thought, that the fourth week of September would fly by without anything special… SHE happened. He remembers as if it happened only minutes before… Which it did, but, first things first.
Class 1-A was currently having a small talk about their hero names, which they will have to come up with at one point and that it was best to start early, to thoroughly think about your choice. It was then, that the class heard a knock and looked in the direction of the door, which opened a second after, revealing the Pro Hero that was taking care of Support Course students - Power Loader.
"Oi, Aizawa, I'm sorry to interrupt, but we have business to one of your students"
"Kaminari, Mineta, what did you do this time?", asked Eraserhead, fully aware of how problematic the duo was. But before anyone could respond to accusations, a girl with pink hair and goggles walked, okay maybe rather rushed into the class.
"Which one is it?!", she energetically asked her teacher.
"She's quite energetic, huh? It's like Support Course version of our Ashido", Izuku thought and smiled to himself at the comparison.
"The green haired one", Power Loader simply answered and pointed at Midoriya.
"What did I do?!"
"Midoriya, what did you do?", asked Aizawa, shifting his accusing gaze to the seat of the Class Rep. But again, no one was able to answer, as the pinkette shot from the place where she was standing and appeared right in front of Midoriya's desk.
"Hello! I'm Mei Hatsume and you're going to help make suuuper cute babies!", she exclaimed and grabbed Izuku's arm, then proceeded to drag him out of the classroom.
"Hatsume Mei, come back here and give us back our Class Representative!", shouted Iida after her, while karate chopping in the general direction of the door.
"I'm sorry for the trouble that Mei has caused, but I promised her, that if she didn't blow up anything for a weak, I would introduce her to the student who created drachmium", explained Power Loader, trying to right the wrongs of Hatsume Mei.
"Drachmium?", asked curious Yaoyorozu. For her Quirk to be as versatile as it was, she had to study a lot and learn the structure and components of many various materials and minerals, but she has never in her life heard the term 'drachmium'.
"Yes, drachmium. It seems that it's liquified kevlar, that somehow not only retained its natural sturdiness, but also became flexible as water! I couldn't believe that structural integrity that this material could hold together, as even when spilled it refused to lessen the strength of molecu-", Power Loader stopped himself and looked at the Hero Course students, who had their eyes fixed on him with completely dumbfounded expressions on their faces. "I'm sorry, for myself this time. When you work with Support Course students that are the most creative ones it's hard to come across something new that really changes how you see things"
"Wait, kero. You said that you would introduce her to 'the student who created drachmium'?", asked Tsuyu with her tongue sticking out of the corner of her mouth.
"Yes, you see. Your classmate came to me one day to give me the schematics for his hero costume and the name drachmium appeared. I asked him about it and he explained that he was the one who created this material, by accident. And was able to recreate the exact same process! Colour me impressed!", he then went to take his leave, but turned in the direction of Aizawa and spoke. "Don't take it personally, but I think that this boy is wasting a lot of potential in the Hero Course. With such a mind he could revolutionise the Support Items as a whole. But, it's a prospect for another fanfiction, I guess", and with that he finally vanished, closing doors behind him.
"So, hero names", spoke Aizawa in an always bored voice.
"He is totally unfazed!"
