Everyone was quiet in class the next day, as they watched Aizawa read through some notes he'd brought in with him before he addressed the class. Merely getting to the school that day had been a nightmare, with reporters having swarmed the outside of the building on finding out about All Might's employment.
"You all performed well on the training exercise yesterday, for first timers."
A few people smiled at the praise, as the man handed out the sheets which contained some criticisms of their performances for future notes. As he handed them out, the scruffy teacher also have his own opinion and comments about the exercise.
As he did, Midoriya noticed he would often echo similar comments to what Yaoyorouzu made in her own assessments, though with a few more comments on top.
"Bakugou, we've already discussed why your behaviour and decisions were unacceptable yesterday, however I will acknowledge you are talented and if you get yourself under control you could be an incredibly powerful hero. So don't go sulking like a child about your loss." The teacher commented, with his tired drone before turning to the greenette. "Finally, Midoriya. I was unaware of your other ability. I had a word with principal Nezu about it and it seems there was a paperwork error. You are now listed as having two quirks, instead of just super strength. Aside from that, you handled yourself well. You and Uraraka worked well together to keep yourselves from getting injured and you're actions as…. Izuruaka was it? They were a little reckless but effective. Hopefully, with some training and getting used to each other you can learn to more effectively control it."
Beaming with pride, the two friends shared a quick look. Then Aizawa cleared his throat, getting their attention once more.
"However, the amount of extra work I'm going to have to do now is not appreciated. Potentially nineteen extra students, and here I wanted a peaceful year." The man grimaced, shaking his head and making Midoriya blush. 'Whoops.' "Anyways, we have something incredibly important to do today. It will affect the rest of your time here at U.A."
'Oh god, it's not another quirk test is it?'
"You have to pick a class president, and vice president."
There was a moment of silence as they students let that sink in, before chaos erupted. Then after a moment, Iida proposed a vote and got everyone to calm down.
Midoriya grinned, confident and thankful that no one would pick him. 'Wonder who it'll be…'
Ten minutes later, and he was stood in front of the class shaking like nobody's business beside Yaoyorouzu. 'O-oh…. It's me.'
Yes, somehow, he had gotten five votes for himself. Him, who was terrible at human interaction and was only just getting used to talking with other people positively.
Crap.
"Well, Midoriya is class president. Yaoyorouzu is vice president. Any complaints?" Aizawa asked, looking out over the class.
'Now would be a great time to speak up Kacchan….' Midoriya thought as sweat rolled down his forehead, throat dry.
The blonde just grunted and looked away, while everyone else voiced their confidence in the greenette.
'Dammit, stop believing in me guys!'
"Right, then let's get on with class. You two, think over who the class officers should be during the next few periods and lunch." Aizawa instructed, before sending them back to their seats. "Now, we have fifteen minutes left of class. I'm going to sleep, don't interrupt me unless you want detention."
Midoriya frowned as he looked at his murky reflection in his soup, swirling the hot liquid around absent-mindedly. He looked up to the rest of the people with him at the table. He'd ended up joining the girls, who had all been at a table when Mina had flagged him over and Iida had been with him at the time. "Guys…. I'm not so sure about this class president thing…"
"Hm? Why not?" Yaoyorouzu asked, tilting her head as she placed a roll of sushi in her mouth.
"I-it's just…. I don't even know w-why anyone would of picked me. I'm- I mean im a nervous wreck half the time." He said as his frown worsened. He felt a sudden pressure on his knee and looked to see Mina had placed a hand on him to try to make him feel better. It caused him to blush but he shot her a thankful smile.
"Nonsense. You have proven in the short time we've been here to have excellent quick decision-making skills, and proven you can overcome your own problems even temporarily for the sake of others. All valuable traits for a leader." Iida put in his own opinion, turning to his friend with a smile. "That's why I voted for you anyways."
"O-oh so you were one of the votes?" Midoriya asked surprised, getting a nod.
"Oh same!" Uraraka chirped happily, causing the greenette's blush to worsen as he turned to her.
"I just voted for you cause you were the first sensible choice that came to mind." Jirou revealed, and Midoriya just blinked.
"Uh…. Anyone else vote for me?" He asked, now curious just how many of them were here. At the question, everyone but Asui and Yaoyorouzu raised there hands. "Well…. Huh…"
"So yeah, probably gonna struggle to convince us otherwise." Hagakure laughed at the boy's dumbstruck look. "Speaking of, didn't you want the job Iida? You seemed pretty eager. Kinda weird you gave up the chance with a vote."
"Well wanting a job and being suited to it are quite different things. Observing the Iida family agency has taught me that much." The blue haired teen said, getting looks from his classmates when he realized what he just revealed.
"Agency?" Jirou asked the question they were all pondering. "Your family are heroes?"
"Wait- Oh! That's where I recognized your name from!" Midoriya blurted out as his eyes lit up. "Tensei Iida is Inegnium! He's a super popular hero with 65 sidekicks working under him at his Tokyo agency! He-"
Noticing the looks he was getting from the girls, he toned down his excitement, clearing his throat.
"S-sorry. But…. Don't tell me…"
"Yes, he is my elder brother!" The engine teen announced with a proud smile. "I strive to be just like him!"
"That's awesome!" Hagakure said excitedly as she bounced around her seat in her ever so animated style.
"Still, It's probably too soon for me to be in a real leadership role. You for example, Midoriya. You realized what the judges were looking for in the exam. A rep needs that sort of insight." Iida said, with a smile that seemed infectious to the group, though also made Midoriya feel a little guilty.
"You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, Iida." The greenette began to explain his own cluelessness over the points but before he got a chance…
BRIIIIING! BRRIIIING! BRIIIING!
"-What is that?!"
"Warning. Level three security breach. Students please evacuate the building." A semi-robotic feminine voice instructed, causing multiple students to burst out of their chairs in a decidedly NOT orderly fashion.
"W-what the hells a level three breach!?" Jirou asked, as she stood up, the rest of her classmates following suite. A third year beside them turned to them, a look of fear in their eyes.
"It means someone's gotten past the school's barrier. This hasn't happened in my entire time here!" They revealed, before taking off. The 1-A classmates shared a look before making their way to the exit with everyone else as Midoriya's mind raced. 'Who would try to get into U.A?! Maybe…. Maybe a villain with a grudge against All Might?! Oh that hardly helps, that could be literally anyone!'
In just a few moments, he went from being calm and finally enjoying his meal to shoved about and kicked around. No one seemed to understand what a calm evacuation was as everyone tried to climb over one another to escape.
He took elbows to the stomach, people stomping on his feet and all sorts. For once he was actually somewhat glad for how people treated him growing up is it made it easier to tolerate this.
As his body was forced to twist and turn just to keep moving, he saw multiple members of his class all being pressed against the wall or squeezed against people. They almost seemed like the only calm people at all.
Then suddenly a hand came around.
SMACK!
"Agh!" He hissed as he was suddenly thrown to the ground, someone trampling over his stomach. 'Dammit! The panic caused by that announcement isn't good. People are getting out of control!'
"Midoriya!" Iida called out, and suddenly he was yanked to his feet by his collar. Looking beside him he saw his tall friend pressed against the glass. "Are you alright?"
"Fine, just had the wind knocked out of me." The greenette reassured, turning to look out the window. "Who even-"
His question died on his tongue as he looked out the entrance, watching the crowd that was pouring in. Iida confirming what he saw.
"Reporters. I have no idea how they got in but they are no villains, even if they are trespassing." The blue haired teen explained as the two were forced to continue shimmying along so as not to get trampled again. "I tried calling out into the crowd but they're to distracted to listen. We have to get their attention somehow!"
Midoriya's eyes widened at that, tuning to look at the panicking group. He could see his classmates getting washed away. Initially he looked for Uraraka but once he spotted her he realized the brunette had been moved too far away by the flood of students.
He gritted his teeth, thinking. Then it hit him.
Then the two exploded into green and pink light, throwing their assailant across the room
"Though seeing as size is added into a fusion as well I can only imagine how unbalanced we'd be at the height we'd be at…."
"Iida! Grab my hand!" He demanded quickly, barely able to even lift it up. Still, Iida seemed to get the ideas as he reached out, only just managing to grab on.
Then, it began. A blue and green explosion of light occurred, washing over the students and naturally drawing their attention as a silhouette formed within. Then finally there he stood,
With a blue right eye and a green left one, the fusion's gaze was harsh and made all who fell under it shudder. His glare wasn't the only thing intimidating about him, as he stood towering above even the tallest students his very presence seeming to quiet people down as they stared.
He had short but messy blue hair with green and black highlights and Izuku's signature freckles. He still retained Iida's glasses and square jawline however.
"EVERYONE!" He shouted, his voice causing many to flinch. It was harsh and commanding, demanding instant respect and compliance. "CALM YOURSELEVES! THERE ARE NO VILLAINS PRESENT! ONLY REPORTERS WITH NO SENSE OF RESPECT! PLEASE STOP THIS INSANE PANIC, BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT WORSE THAN THEY ALREADY HAVE!"
It took a couple moments after that announcement, but as his revelation spread out amongst the students, they started to look outside and relax as they realized they were in no real danger.
"Midoriya? Iida?" A voice asked, and the fusion turned to see Sero looking up at them. "That you two? Or like I guess if it's a fusion, I mean…"
"Ah, I believe I understand what you're asking." The fusion said as he placed a hand to his chin, taking a moment to think. Finally, he smiled a bright grin he most definitely got from the Midoriya half of himself as he announced his name. "Izida should suffice I believe. Now come on, the panic may be over but we're still expected to leave. I'll remain like this for now, defusing here probably won't be easy."
With that, the two made their way off with the rest of the students.
It took a while, but eventually the students had found themselves being lead back to their class, where Aizawa waited on them. Upon seeing the fusion, he raised an eyebrow but said nothing more.
With them being back in class, the two boys defused, this time landing much more gracefully than Uraraka and Midoriya had when they defused. Looking to each other, they shared a quick grin before making their way to their seats.
Well Iida went to his seat, Midoriya had to remain at the front when Aizawa held him back, and motioned for Yaoyorouzu to come up.
"Firstly, I trust you are all ok?" Aizawa asked, looking out over them. "I heard there was something of chaotic evacuation."
"Yes sir." Most of the class chorused. One or two mentioning minor injuries but nothing worth going to the infirmary over.
"Um, so is anyone going to ask about the fusion?" Kirishima asked, scratching his head. Before either of the two who had been involved could though, Aizawa spoke up.
"You can ask your questions later. For now, I'd like to deal with the issues that were already present before the break-in." the teacher said, turning to the two class presidents. "Did you pick your officers?"
Midoriya actually smiled as he turned to the man, nodding along with Yaoyorouzu. He was still incredibly nervous about being the class president, but after being able to help deal with the panic, he felt a little more confident in himself.
"Well, the first class officer should most definitely be Iida." The greenette said, as he turned to them all. The two boy's eyes met and for just a moment, Iida probably would of saw a spark of joy in Izuku's eyes.
Because he fused again and it was amazing again. If he had any lingering doubts about fusion, they were gone now. He was sure nothing could ruin this feeling!
Unfortunately, tomorrow he would be going to the USJ. Where dark and malevolent forces waited.
Forces that even fusion would struggle against.
