Her first lunch at U.A. was every bit as impressive as it would have been at Momo's house. The pro hero Lunch Rush was amazing at creating the exact meal that people needed to perform at 100 percent. In Izumi's case, that just so happened to be a calorie-packed meal that would keep her light on her feet while using her quirk.

She sat down next to two of her classmates and kept an eye out for Momo to show up and join them, ooh, maybe Inasa too, though would it be weird for him to sit at an all girl table?

"Woah," Itsuka muttered across from her. "Are you really going to eat all that?"

"Yep!" Izumi clapped her chopsticks and bounced in her seat. "It helps fuel my quirk! Kind of, it's not really one to one, but it does help me build up my stamina so I can use my quirk more."

"Makes sense," Setsuna muttered with a mouthful of food. "My own quirk is the same way. I can regenerate lost bits, but it's easier if I have a full belly."

"Still," Itsuka let her shoulders drop, one orange eyebrow staying up. "Isn't that going to weigh you down for practice?"

"Not anymore than her tits." Setsuna gave a light smile and an even bigger one when she saw Itsuka's face go red. She then looked up and gave a blush of her own. "Oh, hey, don't mind us, just joking is all."

Momo was standing there with a plate of food that rivaled Izumi's, causing Itsuka's eyes to bulge. "It's fine, I'm used to those kinds of comments being said around Izumi, mostly by her." Momo gestured towards the empty seat next to Izumi. "I'm Momo Yaoyorozu, Izumi's friend and a member of 1-A. May I join you?"

"Of course!" Izumi scooted over—though she didn't need to—and smiled. "How was your first day of class?"

"A pervert stuck himself to my ass and got expelled."

Momo spoke with the kind of tone that left Izumi wondering if she was serious. Most of the time Momo was incredibly straight faced, but she could absolutely murder someone with sarcasm if she wanted.

"Seriously?" Izumi asked, watching as Momo took the seat next to her.

"I think I actually know who you're talking about," Itsuka tapped her plate and gestured towards her hair. "Short, purple balls for hair?"

"That'd be the one, though it was less that he got expelled because he stuck himself to me, and more that he came in last during Aizawa-sensei's test." Momo let out a long sigh and started to pick at her food.

"Sheesh, sounds like 1-A is pretty cutthroat." Setsuna extended her hand across the table. "I'm Setsuna Tokage by the way, and if you're Izumi's friend I need to know a list of all the places you two eat."

"Why would you need that?" Itsuka asked, "I'm Itsuka Kendo by the way, it's nice to meet you."

"I'm so going to see if I can transfer to your class Izumi, it seems like you have some nice classmates." Momo shook Setsuna's hand, "And we mostly ate at my home, or at school? Why?"

"Well, I'm just saying, whatever they're feeding you two I—" Setsuna let out a light yelp as Itsuka elbowed her in the stomach. "Hey,"

"Seriously, stop talking about boobs."

"What? I'm just, saying that they're both—"

"Thick?" Izumi asked cheerfully.

"Izumi?" Momo gave another long sigh.

"Yeah!" Setsuna snapped her fingers.

"Can we please not?" Momo asked, her cheeks were bright red again. "At least not while we're eating."

"Fine, fine." Izumi giggled and bumped into Momo lightly before she took a few big bites of her meal.

"Nyoom," A very Nejire noise came from behind and above the table. "This seat is mine." Nejire slid into the seat besides Izumi and gave her a hug. "Oh, hey, Momo's here too! Woah, you filled out even more than before! And tall! How tall are you? How do you get your hair like that?"

"I was almost excited that we were back on boobs." Setsuna gave a laugh. "Hello Nejire-senpai, thanks for helping us in class."

Itsuka rolled her eyes a bit, her cheeks still red from Setsuna's boob talk. "I'm surprised we got through everything, but yeah, Vlad-sensei said he'd be better after lunch."

"Oh, don't worry, it was super duper fun, and I got to spend time with one of my favorite Kouhais!" Nejire squeezed Izumi tight, really tight, tight enough that Izumi could feel Nejire's bra through their clothes. It reminded her of her old breast envy she had over Nejire, though that seemed silly now.

Mostly because she was able to compete now!

"Oh, hello, you're tall!" Nejire looked up.

Izumi followed her eyes and saw Inasa standing at the end of their table, his plate of food shaking violently. because of his buzz cut, it was easy to see that his blush covered his entire head. He looked nervous and ready to explode.

"Hello!" He shouted. "I am—"

"Inasa, please don't bow while you're carrying food." Izumi gave him a bright smile. "If you want to join us you can! Setsuna doesn't bite."

"Yes I do."

"Don't bite my friend." Izumi snapped her chopsticks at Setsuna.

"I… umm. Thank you!" Inasa gave a light bow and then took the vacant seat next to Setsuna. "Excuse me."

This was by far the most people she'd ever eaten lunch with! At least, in the sense that they were all her friends in some capacity. Setsuna sat across from her and had all but dragged Itsuka along for some reason. Still, Itsuka was easy to talk to and more or less kept Setsuna in check. With Inasa sitting across from Momo, they really had a full group now. Especially with Nejire here.

"Oh, oh, oh, Izumi, Izumi, I totally forgot what I came here for!" Nejire rapidly slapped Izumi's arm with her usual level of endless enthusiasm. It was going to take a bit of time getting used to having Nejire constantly around. "The way you went flying today, right, right?"

"I don't think she'd forget almost dying." Itsuka commented.

"You almost died?" Momo shrieked, her chopsticks hitting the table with a bit too much force. "What'd you do?"

"Oh, right, I developed a new spell and it kind of threw me up into the air. Like, really far." Izumi chuckled and let her shoulders slump. "I was trying to think of something that would help me with the long jump and then I just kind of went, way up. But, uhh," she turned back to Nejire, who was looking at her with eyes that could only be described as full of rainbows and curiosity. "Why? I'm not in trouble am I?"

"Oh, no, but! I did have an idea! You see, instead of clubs, well, I mean, a lot of people call them clubs, but, like they're not really clubs because you can join a lot of them and stuff, U.A. has student workshops after school! And you got me thinking! I'm like the best flier in U.A. and I can help people with learning how to fly! So, I got permission to hold a flying workshop after school! And you're my first member."

Nejire blinked.

"Vlad-sensei said so."

"But," Izumi looked at her hand and recalled the rune she had drawn. "I can only go up. And I can't really control myself."

"Oh, don't worry, we can totally figure all that other stuff out! Besides, U.A. has a room for this. It's bouncy!" Nejire shrugged. "Besides, I can only do it once a week, the rest of the time you can either join the aquatic rescue club for swimming, or like the gym club for gym stuff, that's where Mirio is!"

"Who's Mirio?"

"Someone that's sometimes naked."

That didn't answer the question in the slightest.

"But anyways, we're going to meet up today! I still don't have any other members though, but I don't think I need too many."

"Umm, Nejire-senpai." Inasa raised his hand.

"Ooh? What, what is it?" Nejire leaned on the table with pure excitement and curiosity on her face. "Have I ever mentioned I love it when people call me senpai?"

"Frequently," Momo muttered.

Inasa coughed in his hand and then nodded. "Yes, well, umm, as you asked earlier, my quirk lets me generate wind, and I umm, have a habit of crashing when I try to fly with it, do you think you'd be able to—"

"Woo! Recruit number two for Nejire Hado's Nyooom class!" Nejire bounced up and pumped both arms up into the air. "I'll have both of you flying in no time. Probably. I'll go get the paperwork ready! You two just meet me at the gym later and I'll show you the way!"

With that, Nejire jumped and flew off, easily maneuvering through the door like a pixie.

"This is great!" Izumi smiled right at Inasa. "We get to be flying buddies."

"Yeah," Inasa said rigidly, he blinked for a few seconds and then jumped a bit. His eyes moved to Setsuna for a moment before he bowed a bit. "I look forward to studying with you!"

Inasa was a funny guy, but he always had a fun energy about him.

Izumi stared at her spellbook. The heavy, coarse pages were sturdy and durable enough to last, though it was unlikely that anyone would ever try to destroy her spellbook, and she did have to basically commit the runes to muscle memory before she could even think about using them, but, part of her was paranoid.

Especially with how Katsuki was one classroom over.

She held a dozen pages between her fingers as she flipped from her first rune for up, the one that she could tie into spells, to the one she discovered today, the one that was a spell in of itself. A single rune for a single spell. The differences between the two was miniscule, only a slight alteration to her first up rune made the rune affect her.

She couldn't start a spell with it, but, what if she added it into an existing spell?

Would it break? Well, she might break. Like, what if she used force and up, would she just explode upwards? Violently?

Man, her quirk was scary.

The bell rang, marking the end of her first day at U.A. Well, almost. Classes were over, but it seemed like U.A. was even more active than her old school with the after class activities.

She needed to sign up for pool use, probably gym use, and whatever the hell Nejire's flight workshop actually was. Vlad-sensei had given her class a list of the locations and where to sign up for them, which was really nice. Most of them could be taken care of in the administration building.

Izumi tapped on her spellbook and bit her lip; the rest of her class was either talking to each other or already out the door.

She wondered if there was someone at U.A. that could help her with her quirk. There might be a pattern to her quirk that she just wasn't seeing.

"Vlad-sensei!" Izumi half sprinted up towards him, her skirt bouncing against her legs. She stopped right in front of the podium the teachers used and held her spellbook up so she could see it.

"Ahh, Fall Girl," Vlad-sensei's two massive tusks didn't hamper his ability to smile in the slightest. "I trust that Nejire spoke to you about her flying lessons? Or are you going to ask for a parachute during class?"

"Oh, well, yes, and also no, I mean, I that's not what I want to ask you about." Izumi shook her head and opened her spellbook for her sensei to look at. "I was wondering if there's anyone at U.A. that can help me with this?"

Vlad-sensei blinked and then pulled out a pair of glasses from the podium. "May I?"

Izumi nodded and handed him the book, "Sure!"

Vlad studied the page for a moment and then flipped to the next. "This is your quirk, correct?"

"Yep, those are the runes I draw to cast my spells. I don't have a lot of them, but I think I finally saw a pattern or something, though I'm not sure. Is there anyone at U.A. that's good with stuff like that?" she asked, bouncing with nearly every single word. "I think if I got some help, I could probably avoid sending myself into orbit."

Actually the exact opposite!

"Hmm," Vlad-sensei scratched his chin. "When I spoke to Nejire earlier, she had a lot to say about your quirk, like how you started to swim to improve your stamina. Is there anything else you do to improve your quirk?"

"Uhh, Byleth-sensei taught me how to use a broom as a weapon and how to draw my spells with it."

Vlad-sensei snapped her spellbook shut and gave her a dangerous look. "Broom?"

"Yeah! It's actually part of my hero costume too, you see, the bigger I draw the runes, the more powerful the spell! And if I use something that has multiple heads like a brush or a broom I can make a whole bunch all at once, so I can use both sides of a broom!"

Vlad-sensei's eyebrow did not return to its normal position.

"I see. Normally I'd be encouraging you to improve your quirk on your own, but given the nature of your quirk," Vlad-sensei rolled his massive shoulders and gestured towards her spellbook, "I believe I know someone that could help you with this. May I show him this?"

"Sure! Just, make sure you give it back!"

"Excellent. Now, you better hurry; Nejire is known for many things, but waiting isn't one."

First Nejire teaches her how to swim, now she's teaching her how to fly.

Even if she couldn't really fly. Just go up.

AN: Inasa is such a good boy.
