In The Morning

Natsu and Izuka had finished getting ready and were currently eating breakfast. Natsu was scarfing down the food, like he hasn't eaten in ages. Izuka was happy seeing Natsu back awake, She felt a bit responsible for how Natsu ended up. Every night she would check on Natsu and couldn't help but feel bad. Everytime she found herself in danger Natsu was always there to help her and make her feel better.

But when Natsu needed her, she felt like she wasn't there. Just thinking about that day gives her a weird feeling. Izuka reflected on that day a lot, her whole life she was doubted just because she didn't have a Quirk, and when All Might offered her One for All she was overjoyed, even to a state of crying. Izuka thought now she could be the one to help Natsu out, and that now she could become a real hero.

But what's the point of having such an amazing Quirk if she couldn't help anyone, especially the ones she values and loves. Izuka was snapped out of her train of thoughts after Natsu told her it was time to go. Inko gave them both big hugs as they both headed off to U.A.

"Are you sure you didn't want to stay home? I mean you just woke up, your body could still be recovering." Izuka said to Natsu, In a concerned manner. Natsu looked at her and gave a small laugh.

"Trust me, I'm perfectly healthy! All I needed was some nice sleep." Natsu replied, with a cheerful voice. Izuka sighed at hearing his response and was about to say something but a voice from behind said something.

"Hey! You damn Pinky!" Katsuka shouted angrily from behind. Natsu and Izuka looked at the direction and saw the angry blonde calling him.

"Uhhh… I'm going to head on." Izuka said awkwardly. Izuka wanted to stay but decided to head on.

"IT'S NOT PINK FOR THE LAST TIME!" Natus shouted back to Katsuka. Katsuka ignored Natsu, shouted and caught up to him.

"What are you doing here? you should still be healing, you know." Katsuka said, not wanting to sound concerned.

"Psshh, That weak attack did nothing! I just need some sleep." Natsu said, like he was trying to sell something. Katsuka saw right through this however.

"Cut the crap, I'm not dumb. I saw the state you were in, you're only human if something like that happens again you might not get so lucky." Katsuka replied sternly

"If you're talking about my arm it's in great shape! It's not like something weird happened to it or anything." Natsu said, this time obviously hiding something.

Katsuka had a suspicious face and unexpectedly grabbed his arm. Natsu quickly took his left arm back, but he was too late as Katsuka now had more suspicion.

"Spit it, now." Katsuka said, basically demanding an answer.

"Ohh my arm… It's just the bandages… they're double stuffed!" Natsu said, trying to be convincing. Katsuka looked him deeply in the eyes before giving up.

"Fine. But if I find out you're lying, I'm going to kill you. You hear me!" Katsuka replied, seriously.

"Yeah Yeah. Jeez when did you start caring so much for me?" Natsu jokelying asked.

"S-Shut it, we're gonna be late if we don't hurry." Katsuka said back,with a shade of pink on her cheeks. Not wanting to be late Natsu and Katsuka hurried on to get to school.

At U.A

Natsu arrived later than Katsuka because he stopped after smelling some food, but regardless he still made his way to U.A. Before entering the room Natsu looked at the door before smiling, he didn't know what to expect on the other side, and that kind of made him happy. Natsu walked into the classroom and was greeted by many of his classmates, kind of surprising him.

"Natsu! I did not expect to see you hear so soon!" Iida said, with his well-known serious voice. Iida extended his hand towards Natsu to go into a firm handshake but was pushed to the side when others came to greet the pink hair boy.

"Natsu are you feeling well? We heard about what happened to you, all of us were deeply concerned. Momo said politely, with many of the students nodding in agreeance.

"Yea, so if you need anything just let me know. I'm sure I can help out." Kami added on.

"After hearing about your heated spirit, I had no doubt that you were gonna recover quickly." Kiri said with a confident tone. Kiri meant what she said but she would be lying if she said that she wasn't a little worried, because they're just classmates right?

Natsu looked at his classmates for a second not in shock but in surprise. Natsu quickly smiled before giving his response.

"I wish something like that would've happened again, cause now I'm better than ever." Natsu said, pumping his arm. While many laughed at his remark that didn't stop a certain student from screaming in fear.

After talking and catching up with everyone Natsu and the others finally took their seats. When sitting down Natsu was unexpectedly met by Shota.

"Hey Shota! It's a nice first day back huh?" Natsu happily greeted me. Shota looked at him with her usual face.

"I would be lying if I said no, but regardless are you sure you're ok? Your arm didn't look too good last time I saw it." Shota said.

"Yeah my arm is great, it 's completely healed!" Natsu replied, panicking a bit. Shota saw the slight panic in his voice and a tiny bit of sweat from his forehead.

"Really now? That's a relief, If you don't mind however I would like to see it." Shota said, grabbing his lower left arm.

Natsu quickly pulled his arm back and tried to play it off, but one touch was enough and like Katsuka, she also had suspicion. She was going to question more but was interrupted when the class door opened.

"Morning." Aizawa greets, all bandaged up. The whole class shouted in shock seeing all bandaged up.

"So you're alright, Mr. Aizawa?" Iida asked, as if it was hard to already tell.

"Can you really call that ok?" Ochacoo questioned, worried.

"My well-being doesn't matter. More importantly, the fight is not over just yet." Aizawa dryly states.

"Huh? The villains are back for round two, well let me at em! They won't get away this time!" Natsu said, getting pumped up, while a tense atmosphere builds around the rest of the class.

"I don't think you should be fighting just yet Natsu." Izuka said, as everyone's attention is still focused on Aizawa.

"The U.A. the sports festival is drawing near." Aizawa said, with a serious but tired tone. The class was happy at the news, while Natsu was disapointed that he wasn't going fight anyone yet.

"That's a super normal school event!" The whole class shouts, in excitement.

"Is it ok to have a sports festival so soon after the villains snuck inside?" Jiro asked, sparking the interest of the other students.

"Yea, what if we get attacked again?" Ojiro added on.

"Apparently, they think of it as U.A. showing that our crisis management system is solid as a rock by holding the event. Security will also be strengthened to five times that of previous years. Above all, our sports festival is a huge chance. It is not an event to be cancelled because of a few villains." Aizawa explained. Mineta tried to put up an argument but was too quiet for anyone to notice.

"Our sports festival is one of Japan's biggest events. In the past, the Olympics were called a festival of sports, and the whole country was crazy about them. As you know, with reductions in scale and population, they're now a shell of their former glory. And now, for japan, what has taken the place of those Olympics is the U.A. sports festival!" Aizawa finished.

"Of course, all the top heros around the country will be watching. For scouting purposes!" Momo said, clenching her fist.

"After we graduate, it's typical to join a pro agency as a sidekick." Kami said.

"A lot of people miss their chance to become independent after that and become eternal sidekicks, though." Jiro added.

"Of course, joining a famous hero agency will get you more experience and popularity. Time is limited. If you expect to go pro, then the path to your future will open up at this event. One chance a year… a total of just three chances. No aspiring hero can afford to miss this event. If you understand that, then don't slack off on your preparations!" Aizawa said. And with that homeroom was finished.

Lunch Time

Even though all that stuff happened, I'm getting really excited!" Kiri announced. Natsu was right besides her and had the same look of excitement in his eye.

"Just hearing about it… gets me all fired up!" Natsu shouts, as he boils with anticipation. Izuka looked around the classroom and was a bit surprised to see everyone so hyped about the event.

"We enrolled into U.A. to become future heros, so it's natural for everyone to be fired up." Iida said as he approached Natsu.

Everyone in class 1-A kept talking about the school festival coming up and how it could change everything. But it was lunchtime so everyone made their way to the cafeteira. Natsu, Iida, Ochaco, Izuka were walking together when.

"So Uraraka. Why did you decide to come to U.A. and become a pro hero?" Izuka asked. Although flustered she gave an honest answer, money.

She explained that her family owned a construction company and that her family wasn't the wealthiest, so she wanted to become a hero to help support them. Ochaco asked Natsu why he wanted to become a hero since no one other than Izuka really knew.

"It's obvious!... To fight strong people!" Natsu answered, like it was the obvious truth. Even Izuka was a bit shocked at the reason. Ever since they were little Natsu always protected her, so if she was being honest she expected the answer to be a bit more… noble?

"Is that the real reason Natsu?" Izuka asked, seeing if he was joking or not. Natsu looked her in the eye for a moment before laughing.

"Of course not! The real was, because we promised! Don't you remember that when we were younger we promised each other that we would become heros together." Natsu replied smiling, scruffing her head.

Not only did Izukas face go a bit red but she felt a little warmth in her heart. Knowing that even after all these years Natsu still wanted to become a hero with her. Without realizing it she hugged Natsu, but was brought back to her senses after hearing All Might call for her. She quickly hurried towards the number one hero, now with a bigger blush on her face.

Natsu and the other two went on to lunch with the rest of the day to continue…

Whoop… That's this chapter. Personally I like this chapter, but if there's something I could improve on is probably getting Natsu and Momo relationships more developed. But if there is any else I can improve on or if you have a suggestion, let me know.

Reviews

Leafy-tan:Thx! I'm trying to be more active.

Wolf1741: Natsu's 'forgotten' memories will eventually play a role in the story.

erasenpai946:The next member of the draconization will be revealed later on. And right now only two people have a suspicion, maybe next chapter a couple of people find out? And I'm going to try my hardest to limit Natsu's denses.

Chaotic:Thx! Unfortunately I can't reveal the secrets of the crimson fire yet. Right now Natsu is unable to do anything on the scales, will he in the future? only time can tell. Also yes Natsu scales also acts like a defence to heavy blows.
