Morning classes were finished and Mitsuji remained in his seat. Feeling frustrated, he didn't have the appetite to eat lunch. He felt that he could've done more in the combat training. From what Recovery Girl said, he passed out due to fatigue and extreme nervousness. He felt useless and didn't feel like eating lunch. However, a boy with neon blue hair approached him.
"Hey Saiga. Wanna eat lunch together?", Kai asked.
Unable to reject his kind offer, Mitsuji accepted and the two of them went to the cafeteria. After getting their food and finding a table, they began eating.
"Sorry about yesterday", Mitsuji apologized.
"What? Why?", Kai asked.
"We lost because of me. If only I didn't pass out because of nervousness, Midoriya would've had a hard time and we could've won. I'm no-good"
"Don't be like that! The past is in the past. What matters is what you learned and what you can do for the future!"
Despite Kai's effort to comfort him, Mitsuji still felt frustrated and lost confidence.
"Hello there! Mind if I sit here?", a boy with dirty blond hair and blue green eyes asked.
"Sure", Kai answered and he sat down.
"I'm Jacob Wilson. Nice to meet you. I saw your fight", Jacob said.
"Is that so?", Kai asked.
"You've got a neat Quirk: being able to shoot off laser from your hands and fingers. How strong is your laser?", Jacob asked.
"Well… My laser can pretty much pierce through metal after some time", he answered.
"Enough about that. I'm more interested in your Quirk!", Jacob exclaimed and faced Mitsuji.
"M-M-Mine?", he asked.
"Yeah. Fire and electricity?! It's like having two separate Quirks at once! That's amazing! And your fight with Mondronen was awesome. The way you only used fire against him and then finish him with electricity was quite a smart move. Although you won by luck since if I were Mondronen, I would've knocked you out already and not give you a chance to use your Quirk. But what if you zap from a distance? That could work. But can you do it? Electricity is faster than fire after all so Mondronen would have a hard time dodging… Oh sorry! I think I rambled on again!", Jacob told Mitsuji.
Mitsuji was overwhelmed by Jacob's words. He looked to Kai for help but Kai found it amusing. Mitsuji pleaded silently and Kai smiled.
"So Wilson…", Kai said.
"Jacob will be fine. Back in my country, we don't use last names", he interrupted.
"Okay. So Jacob… I think you need to slow down a bit. My friend is a bit on the nervous side",
"Sorry. It's just that whenever I talk about Quirks or Heroes, I get too excited and I ramble on. Sorry for scaring you"
"Ah. Don't worry. It's my fault for being too nervous", Mitsuji said.
"What do you call your Quirk?", Jacob asked.
"It's called Primal Split. I can use fire, earth, and electricity to some extent. I can't overuse it though",, he answered.
"Not only fire and electricity but also earth?! That's quite a powerful Quirk. That's quite nice",
"I can only use one element at a time and it takes some time to switch from one element to another"
"I see. I see", Jacob muttered as he took down notes.
Jacob continued asking questions and even involved Kai in his interrogation. Their entire lunch break was taken by the questioning and they were almost late for their afternoon hero lessons.
###
"Young kiddos! For today's heroics class, you'll go to the field!", their homeroom teacher announced.
"Ehhhh? Where's All Might?", Nozomi asked.
"I thought he was in charge", Aome added.
"Bwahahaha! Don't worry! He'll train you lil' kiddos into fine heroes alright! But for now, he ain't around", Matthew said and fired his pistol at the ceiling.
They changed into their PE uniforms and headed straight to the field. Matthew accompanied them and when they arrived there, they saw 20 people wearing the same uniform as them.
A man in black clothes with bandage-like cloth wrapped around his neck stepped forward. He had black hair and dull-looking eyes.
"Are those your students?", the man asked Matthew.
"Aye!", he replied.
"Hello, Class 1-A. I'm Shota Aizawa, Class 2-A's homeroom teacher", Aizawa introduced himself.
He's a teacher?!, everyone thought.
"Let's get this over with. The people behind me are your upperclassmen. They have more experience than you and some are on par with pro heroes. You will learn a lot from them over the next two weeks", Aizawa said.
The students of Class 1-A looked at him blankly. They would've remained that way but Nagai raised his hand and gathered the courage to ask a question.
"What do you mean by that, sir?", he asked.
Aizawa looked at Matthew.
"You didn't tell them anything?", Aizawa asked.
"It's better if you tell 'em", Matthew replied.
The black-haired teacher sighed.
"All right. Listen up. For the next two weeks, each of you will be trained personally. That's all", Aizawa said.
That wasn't enough to answer their questions but they don't have the courage to ask any more questions since they felt an intimidating pressure coming out from the black-haired teacher.
"Then let's announce the hero-sidekick pair. Step up and go to that corner when your names are called", Matthew said.
"Hero: Yuga Aoyama. Sidekick: Kai Hikari", Aizawa announced.
Kai stepped to the front and faced a boy with slightly long blonde hair and bright indigo eyes.
"Bonjour! I hope we get along dashingly!", Yuga said.
"Let's work hard, Senpai!"
"Hero: Mina Ashido. Sidekick: Tang Izumi", Aizawa announced.
The water girl walked towards the center and met up with a pink-skinned girl.
"Wow. You're such a cutie! Let's work hard together kay?", Mina asked.
"Yes, Ashido-senpai!", Tang nodded.
"Hero: Tsuyu Asui. Sidekick: Aome Okami"
With her tail wagging, Aome went to the center and looked at the frog girl in front of her.
"Let's do our best. And call me Tsuyu-kero", Tsuyu said.
"Okay, Tsuyu-senpai!", Aome replied.
"Hero: Tenya Iida. Sidekick: Tsubaki Kamiya
Tsubaki gracefully walked to the center and faced a boy who had glasses and had six exhaust ports coming out of each of his legs.
"Hello! Under the name of Ingenium, I will refine you into a wonderful hero!", Tenya declared.
"I thank you in advance, Iida-senpai", Tsubaki replied calmly.
"Hero: Ochaco Uraraka. Sidekick: Nagai Tokuhei"
Nagai smiled and walked to the center. He met a short girl with brown hair.
"I'm blessed to have a beautiful lady to teach me how to be a hero. I thank the heavens. Now let us depart on our journey to heroism!", Nagai said and offered his hand.
"Yep! Let's work hard, Tokuhei-kun!", Ochaco replied and shook his hand.
"Hero: Mashirao Ojiro. Sidekick: Watabe Kiyoga"
The colorful boy met up with a tailed blond guy.
"We make a colorful team. Let's become a fabulous hero together", Watabe said.
"Wait. You're saying that I'm not plain? Are you serious?", Mashirao asked while being genuinely happy.
"Hero: Denki Kaminari. Sidekick: Shiroi Kiri"
White mist came out of Shiroi's hands as he walked towards the center and met a blonde boy.
"Let's get along!", Denki said.
"…", Shiroi remained quiet.
"Hero: Eijiro Kirishima. Sidekick: Nozomi Kido"
A boy with spiky red hair met up with Nozomi at the center of the field.
"I've seen you fight. You got guts if you can take on attacks with your body. That's manliness!", Eijiro said.
"Kirishima-senpai. Are you calling me a man? Aren't these telling you otherwise?", Nozomi asked and directed his attention to her bosom which made him blush.
"Hero: Koji Koda. Sidekick: Purorakudo Gemu"
They met up and shook hands.
"Hero: Rikido Sato. Sidekick: Erude Rikaga"
Erude went to the center and saw a muscular boy with brown spiky hair,
"Let's work hard!", Rikido said.
"Yes, Sato-senpai", Erude replied.
"Hero: Mezo Shoji. Sidekick: Drake Smith"
Drake dragged his feet as he walked. He met a tall guy whose mouth was covered with a mask and had six arms.
"Yo Senpai! Let's have a good time", Drake said.
"I'll train you into a good hero", Mezo replied.
"Hero: Kyoka Jiro. Sidekick: Kokoro Nanami"
Kokoro was excited to see her partner and when she found out it was a girl, she was happy. Her partner had short purple hair and plug-like earlobes.
"Let's work together Jiro-senpai!", Kokoro said and smiled innocently.
"I saw your fight and I'm kind of interested in your Quirk. It'll be fun working with you", Kyoka told her.
"Hero: Hanta Sero. Sidekick: Kuroi Niriyama"
Hanta gulped down since his sidekick was the delinquent Mina and Eijiro told them about. He knew he was going to have a hard time.
"Kufufufufu… I'll be in your care, Senpai", Kuroi said and smiled.
"Y-Yeah"
"Hero: Fumikage Tokoyami. Sidekick: Runa Tenshi"
Runa walked to the center and saw a guy with a head of a black bird. She was quite relieved that her mentor had bird-like features too.
"We are fated to fight united. Then I shall train you in my path", Fumikage said.
She was then doubting her judgment.
"Uhhh… Sure", she replied.
"Hero: Shoto Todoroki. Sidekick: Suzumi Midoriya"
Suzumi walked towards the center but for some reason, she felt that all of Class 2-A was staring at her. But she didn't mind it. She faced her partner who had split-colored hair that was white on the right side and crimson on the left.
"You're Izuku's cousin. I'm interested to see what you can do", Shoto said.
Suzumi looked at Class 2-A and saw Izuku. It then clicked to her.
"You're Izuku's classmate?", she asked.
"Yes. Let's discuss this later", Shoto answered and started walking.
"Hero: Toru Hagakure. Sidekick: Daichi Hisakawa"
Daichi was surprised to see a floating set of PE uniform but he was even more surprised to hear it talking.
"Let's work hard together!", Toru said.
"…Okay", he replied.
"Hero: Katsuki Bakugo. Sidekick: Narruk Mondronen"
Narruk walked to the center and a boy with spiky ash blond hair faced him.
"You'd better be ready to die if you're working under me!", Katsuki said with a dangerous smile on his face.
"I wouldn't have it any other way!", Narruk replied without hesitation.
"Good! I like you already. Don't disappoint me!"
"Yes Bakugo-senpai!"
The two walked away.
"Hero: Izuku Midoriya. Sidekick: Jacob Wilson"
Jacob walked to the center and met a green-haired boy.
"Let's work hard together", Izuku said and smiled.
"Yes Senpai!", Jacob replied.
"Hero: Minoru Mineta. Sidekick: Arakawa Juene"
Minoru couldn't believe his eyes. His sidekick was cute. Arakwa had puffy brown hair and glasses that added cuteness. Along with a short and petite build, Minoru was grateful for his luck that he was paired with a cutie.
"Hello Senpai", Arakawa said.
"Hey there, cutie. I'll teach you a lot of things", Minoru said with a wink.
"If any of you have complaints with your upperclassmen, feel free to tell us and we'll handle it", Aizawa said.
"Sorry to disappoint you Senpai but I'm a guy", Arakawa told him.
Everyone could hear Minoru's heart breaking.
"You're a trap?!", he shouted.
"That's what they all say but I'm not happy with it"
Minoru paled because all of his fantasies with Arakawa changed meaning when he found out that he was a guy.
"Hero: Momo Yaoyorozu. Sidekick: Mitsuji Saiga"
Mitsuji walked to the center and saw a girl with a black hair that was tied in a ponytail.
"Leave everything to me and you'll be a great hero!", Momo declared.
Gaaaahhh! Why does it have to be a girl? And a beautiful one to boot! My stomach hurts!
"Is something wrong? You look pale", she asked.
"I-I'm fine", Mitsuji said without looking at her in the eye.
"All right kiddos! Listen up! For the next two weeks, you'll be attending classes like usual. However, it's up to you on how you train with your partners in your free time. Make as much progress as you can since the one with the least improvement will be loaded with supplementary lessons!", Matthew said.
"Eh?", Class 1-A asked while Class 2-A remained calm since they already knew the consequences.
Supplementary lessons?! Which means… I might drag down Senpai too? I got to get my act together. But…
"Let's work hard. Okay?", Momo asked.
"U-Um… Y-Y-Yes. L-Let's work had…erm… h-hard!", he replied.
I can't talk to beautiful girls!
Hey everyone! So sorry that I couldn't update last time. I kinda got rushed to the hospital due to my sickness but anyways, I'm fine now… At least… As long as I don't overwork myself. But anyways, that was it. I thought real hard on the Hero-Sidekick pairing and it was tough with all the requests. So I did my Rubesty and managed to pair them up with their Quirks and requests in my mind. Anyways, this note is getting too long so I hope you enjoyed it and don't forget to review!
