Izuku was minding his own business, jogging down the path along Dagohba Beach when he spotted Akemi, and then his day went completely away from his original plan.
Well, not that he had a lot planned.
According to Akemi, Kōki-San has a street Basketball match today, and she is going to be a supportive sister and go watch Kōki-san's team completely crush her opponents. And Hibiki-san, who is tired of Shinsou-kun being a 'depressed shut-in', decided to drag him along the ride. Iida-kun somehow got rung into the whole thing, and somehow, Hibiki-San had gotten Uraraka-San to join them.
So now, larger than normal group of six is standing in front of the local court, which is now bustling with people, and Izuku is suddenly highly aware of his shorter then average height, standing in front of this sea of people which towers over them all.
"Annnd we're here!" Akemi crossed her arms, standing on tiptoes as if trying to find someone, "This tournament is a interdistrict one, so Kō will probably face a little challenge. Not sure how long this'll take, but..." She brightened as something caught her eye, "OI! HAMANO!"
Somewhere near the entrance stood a teen probably a year older than him, black hair in dreadlocks dyed blue towards the tips pulled in a ponytail, a cap on his head and a guitar case slung on his back. He's seen him before at the hospital when Kōki-san's team barged in, and... is he smoking?
"Yo, Akemi-san!" His voice is loud but not as gruff as he expected, "How're ya?"
"Woah... he's tall." From next to him, Uraraka-San breathed, craning her neck to look up the boy approaching them, Shinsou grunted in reply, and Izuku had to nod.
Sure he isn't as buff as All Might in his powered form, but this guy is no slouch. He is only half a head shorter than All Might when the latter is powered up. Now that he is standing in front of them, Izuku could see that he easily towers over them, and that the stick in his mouth is a lollipop, not cigarette.
"Fine, thanks, where's the team?"
"Kō went signing us up and Hika is with her, Hiro's off buying us drinks and stuff, and our ace is off trash talking, I think."
"And Yoshihide-kun?"
"Oh, Sato's getting our seats or something, either that, or he's off flirting." The teen, Hamano, rolled his eyes. "I swear, If I find him flirting instead of doing what he should, I'll tell him to go one on one with Kō." He glanced towards them, "And they are?"
"Well you know Hibiki." Akemi shrugged, then turned to them, "Guys, introduce yourselves, He's not Kōki, his quirk isn't telepathy."
They shared a look, and Iida-kun decided to go first And bowed 90 degrees in his usual stiff manner. "Iida Tenya! UA 1A Class President! It is nice to meet you!"
Hamano looked amused by the gesture, and offered him a hand, "Well, Hamano Teruki, High school drop out, I play in a band for a living. Nice to meet cha' too, prez'," Iida-kun shook his hand, and Izuku blinked a little at Hamano's hands, they're huge.
They all introduced themselves, and Izuku winced a little as he pulled his hand away from the teen's grip, that grip strength... seriously, he need to train more. He watched as Hamano pulled his phone out checked something, then waved them goodbye saying that Kōki-San called for the team.
"Ueno?" Izuku glanced over to Shinsou-kun, who finally spoke (He had Hibiki-San introduce him) after this entire day.
"Yeah?"
"What's up with the people you know?"
He had to suppress a laugh, as Hibiki-san giggled and slapped the purple-haired teen on the back, and Akemi chuckled.
If you know Akemi, you're bound to know some strange people.
Hamano Teruki
He plays Center, and is ridiculously tall, standing at 210 cm (All Might is 220), 17 years old and a bit of a delinquent. He drinks (Illegally), has a lot of bad habits, gets in street fights, but also has an artistic streak and is the base and one of the singers for a small-time band in the district.
His quirk is Light Orb, which let him create small orbs of bright, glowing orange energy. They can be used for combat and can burn or electrocute you, but most of the time he just ended up as someone's (aka Hayutaka's) portable light source.

Writing this chapter while listening to 'No Friends'... Now I kinda feel depressed. T-T
A little warning for the coming chapters: I watch Kuroko no Basuke, so I might have over did it with the description of the game haha.
...I ran out of stuff to say, so onto the reviews!
To darkpaladin89: Oh well, Good luck to me convincing Akemi to not break down the forth wall and come after you.
