"Again. From the top." Glynda Goodwitch ordered.

"Uh… the creatures of Grimm are bloodthirsty monsters that inhabit most of the planet. Their lust for carnage knows no ends… jeez. That's kind scary." Midoriya said as he looked through the text he was reading.

Goodwitch nodded. "Indeed. The Grimm are not to be trifled with. It's the job of huntsmen and huntresses to protect humanity and its ways."

Izuku looked at the picture on the page, showing a shadowy blob with red eyes. 'In my world, the monsters were villains. Here, though, mindless beasts are what I have to be worried about? I'm not sure which is worse.' He put the book down. "I think I'm ready."

"Are you sure? We can wait a few more days if you need-"

"I'm ready. I'm… I'm sure everything will be fine." He smiled.

Goodwitch smiled before opening the door and leading him out.

It had been several months since the day Midoriya appeared. In that time, the young hero had been studying the world he was in, reading text after text, taking note after note. His book was filled with page after page of facts and tales regarding the world.

Midoriya looked through his notes, smiling. 'This is quite the interesting place, but…' He turned to a few pages toward the back of the book. It showed several notes on theories and speculations regarding interdimensional travel. Midoriya smiled sadly. '... I'm hoping there can be something here that will get me home.' He closed his notes and sighed. He and Goodwitch were on their way to Beacon, ready for Midoriya's first day. For the past few months, the huntress had played the role of his legal guardian and tutor, teaching him the ways of the world and the current curriculum. Due to his lack of knowledge regarding hunters and the like, and due to his injuries, he was forced to start class a bit later than his peers.

As the duo approached the school, Midoriya couldn't help but think of the fateful conversation that led him here…

"What?" Midoriya asked, surprised.

Ozpin merely smiled. "You're going to be attending Beacon Academy."

Goodwitch raised an eyebrow. "Ozpin, you can't be serious. If what you're saying is true and he is from another world, why on Remnant would you want to make him a huntsman? Not to mention, he seems a tad… young?"

Ozpin sipped his tea. "Mr. Midoriya, your aura is… interesting. I can sense a great power within you." He looked at the boy. "That kind of power can really help people."

Izuku's eyes widened. "My… aura?" He looked at his fist. 'Is he talking about One For All?'

Ozpin closed his eyes. "Mr. Midoriya, I believe you can be great if you let us help you. In the meantime, I'll do everything in my power to find you a way home." He stood and held out a hand. "Do we have a deal?"

Midoriya hesitated before nodding and shaking the hand. "Deal!"

Izuku shook himself from his thoughts when he heard Goodwitch call his name. "Izuku? Are you alright?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Just… nervous, I suppose."

"Well, considering you had to miss initiation, there's no doubt going to be some awkward placing. I believe most of the students already have their teams." Goodwitch pointed out.

Midoriya gulped. "Well, thanks for the vote of confidence." He looked at the school in front of him as the duo approached. 'Apparently, this is supposed to be an advanced school specifically built for teaching the next generation of huntsmen. Sounds an awful lot like U.A. However, it's supposed to be for advanced students, a bit older than I am. Ms. Goodwitch told me of only one other student with this exemption, so I don't know if I can avoid drawing attention to myself.' He closed his eyes and breathed for a moment before looking at the school with determination written on his features. 'No… I don't need to worry. I can do this.'

'I can't do this…' Midoriya thought as he stood in front of the class, shaking like a leaf. He was ushered in as the teacher was telling a rather long winded tale. The class seemed rather bored before he walked in, but now all eyes were on him. 'Crap… what's with this pressure all of a sudden?'

The teacher, Professor Port, stood next to the young hero. "Ah, you must be the newest addition to our class." He stepped aside. "Care to introduce yourself?"

"Uh, sure! I-I am Izuku Midoriya. I-it's an honor to meet you all!" He bowed. Professor Port looked over the notes regarding the new student. "Ah, so I see you're another exempt student. Your schedule seems to be dictated by whomever shall escort you around the school." Professor Port looked out at the class. "Alright, folks. Mr. Midoriya here needs a temporary team to help him learn the basics of Beacon. Who's willing to be a hero and help him out?" He said, raising a fist in triumph. The class, however, remained silent. Midoriya tried not to hear the murmuring in the room, but it seemed to echo around him.

"He looks so… normal!"

"He's kind of a small fry, isn't he?"

"I… don't know if we should have him on the team…"

"Poor guy… he looks kinda frail…"

Midoriya sighed as he heard the murmurs. 'This is like grade school all over again.'

Professor Port raised an eyebrow. "Come now! Wouldn't anyone like to show young Izuku the ropes of our prestigious school?"

A blonde boy in the back raised a hand. "Uh, sir? It's only been one day… I don't think any of us fully, uh, 'know the ropes'."

Professor Port put a hand to his chin. "Oh, right. Er…" He thought for a moment.

Midoriya stood awkwardly at the front, trying his best to avoid the judging eyes of the class. However, a girl suddenly raised her hand. "Oh! Oh! We'll do it! We will!" She called out excitedly. The girl beamed at him happily with silver eyes. Her hair was jet black with red tints. Furthermore, on the back of her uniform, a red hood flowed.

Professor Port smiled. "Ah, a volunteer! Izuku, grab a seat next to Ms. Rose." He said, preparing the next part of his lecture.

Midoriya nodded and approached, shaking the girl's hand. "Uh, thanks."

"No problem! The name's Ruby Rose! Nice to meet ya!" She greeted. Suddenly, a huge smile grew on her face before pulling the greenette into a full embrace and squealing. "I am so excited! A new member of the team! I know it's temporary, but still!"

Midoriya looked away, blushing at the close proximity. "Well, you know, I-I'm glad to be w-working with you." He stammered. 'She is really close!'

Ruby halted her affection when a sharp cough was heard from the professor. The duo immediately sat down as the lecture began. As they sat, a girl in white, Weiss Schnee, leaned toward her scarlet friend. "Why on Remnant did you volunteer? We have enough problems dealing with the first day." She whispered.

Ruby shrugged. "I dunno. He seems nice. We couldn't just leave him hanging."

Midoriya glanced at Ruby, suddenly able to notice her features a bit better with the close proximity. 'She seems to be my age. She must be the other exempt student!' He began to sweat. 'Man, this is a lot of pressure. If she's here as an exemption, she must be some sort of prodigy! I wonder how strong- huh!?' He was shocked to see her suddenly fall asleep during the lecture. "Uh…"

As the lecture went on, Midoriya noticed the girl in white grow visibly angered by her comrade's actions. From napping to generally goofing off, she didn't seem to be paying the lecture much mind. Midoriya tried to ignore it and focus on the professor. 'I'm sure it's none of my business. I only just joined this team after all.' He reasoned. Suddenly, the snoozing Ruby fell on his shoulder, snoring. Midoriya's face grew red as he suddenly stood, jumping back. "Eh! S-sorry, I-"

"Ah, Mr. Midoriya! Already itching to volunteer! Just like a true huntsman!"

Midoriya looked at the teacher in confusion. "V-volunteer?" He looked at a large cage beside the professor. 'Crap! I wasn't paying attention!'

Midoriya stood facing the cage, his sweat dripping as he entered a fighting stance. 'This isn't good. I've never even seen a Grimm. I don't even have a weapon. How am I supposed to do this? Using One For All in the classroom… even with just my finger, it could cause some serious damage, or even hurt someone!' He closed his eyes and breathed. 'Focus. It's not just a monster, it's an animal. It must have a weak point.' He forced a smile and waited.

The blonde in the group, Yang Xiao Long, tilted her head. "What's with his face?"

Ruby shrugged. "Maybe he has to use the bathroom?"

Weiss rolled her eyes. "Maybe he's realizing how foolish he was to volunteer without a weapon?"

Professor Port quickly sliced down his axe, opening the cage and releasing the beast. A boar-like creature came charging out, its sights set directly on the young hero. He prepared himself as it ran before quickly rolling to the side. The beast quickly redirected and charged once again. Like before, Izuku rolled, but the boar was prepared. At the last second, it tilted its head, making a small, but stinging scratch along the boy's leg. "Ugh!"

"Watch those tusks! The boarbatusk is quite the powerhouse." Port called.

Ruby cheered for the hero. "Go! Izuku! Go! Target its belly! There's no armor!"

Izuku noted her advice and formulated a quick plan. He waited for the boarbatusk to redirect before it began charging. He stood his ground. 'It keeps attacking without remorse… like Kacchan. That means…' As the beast drew closer, he quickly sidestepped and grasped the boar's tusk. Using the momentum, he pulled the beast forward and lifted. The Grimm squealed as its body was overturned before landing on its back with a heavy slam. The class watched closely. Yang smirked. "Whoa! I've never seen anyone go pro wrestler on a Grimm!"

Weiss held her nose up. "It's reckless if you ask me. He could have been impaled."

"But he wasn't. That was a sick move. Go, Izuku!" Ruby cheered.

As the boar fell, the tusk broke off in Midoriya's hand. The young hero quickly made use of the vulnerability and plunged the tusk into the beast's soft stomach. He sighed and stepped back, watching the boarbatusk disappear.

Professor Port clapped. "Splendid work, Mr. Midoriya! Using the beast's own movement, you were able to topple it! Though you fought without a weapon, you still held your own! Well done!"

Midoriya scratched his head, blushing. "Uh, well, it was nothing, really."

Professor Port smiled. "Remember, class. Being a huntsman requires you to know how to handle the creatures of Grimm and how to protect those who can't. I know there's a certain flashy nature that comes with having a weapon, but never forget that it's your responsibility to adapt to situations! Dismissed!"

Izuku sighed in relief before returning to his seat to grab his things. All the while, Ruby practically gushed over his actions. "That was so cool! You've gotta teach me some of those moves sometime!"

Midoriya covered his face to hide his blush as she came close. "Ah, it was nothing. Just a move I learned." He coughed and smiled. "Ah, thanks for the advice, by the way."

"No problem. A good leader always knows what's best." Ruby declared. Weiss seemed to scoff before grabbing her books and stomping out. The group raised an eyebrow.

Ruby looked at Midoriya. "Uh, give me one moment. Meet the rest of the team!" She said, running after the girl in white.

Before Midoriya could respond, he felt an intense pat on his back. The blonde girl smirked. "Heya, Izuku! The name's Yang. This here is Blake." She said, gesturing to the girl in black.

Winded, Izuku gave a weak smile."Uh… nice to… meet you both." he looked out at the door. "Are they going to be alright?"

Yang shrugged. "I'm sure they'll be fine. Weiss seems to be a bit high strung and Ruby… isn't."

Blake sighed. "I'm sure they're going to be clashing a lot."

Midoriya scratched his neck. "I see. I hope I didn't cause any trouble."

Yang laughed. "Nah, don't worry about it. Now, let's talk moves." She leaned close, grinning. "You gotta tell me where you learned that grabbing move. I gotta admit, it looked kinda fun!"

Midoriya sweat a bit. 'Fun!?'

Blake grabbed her shoulder. "Yang, Weiss was right. A move like that can be kinda reckless. It's best if you just stick with a strong punch."

Yang pouted a bit. "Fine." She held up a hand and whispered to the young hero. "Tell me later!"

Izuku laughed, nervously. 'This is going to be a strange school…'
