GRAN TORINO I
"Where did you found him, Nana?"
"He is really great right?" smiled Shimura Nana, pride perceptible in her voice. "He can already use One for All so well, he will be a force to reckon with."
When Nana called him to say she had found her successor, Gran Torino had been naturally surprised, Nana had been searching for her successor for years, especially last year since All for One had become more active. Gran Torino wouldn't say that Yagi Toshinori was a bad choice, the boy was a genius at martial art, he worked hard and didn't complain despite his harsh training. Gran Torino could see why Nana had chosen him, both were optimistic, hard-working, and could smile in the harshest situation. He had the making of a good hero, maybe even become the pillar of the society as he had said his goal was. Now, if only he wasn't color blind.
- "I meant by this, if you had found him in a dumpster. What is he wearing?"
Gran Torino would have thought that the boy was a die-hard Bruce Lee fan if only by his haircut and his love for martial art. And while he may not have the famed yellow jumpsuit, he had found a one just as tacky if not more with his form-fitting green jumpsuits along with his orange leg warmer. Nana laughed sheepishly.
"Every hero have their oddities. At least it is better than his friend." the woman muttered in an afterthought.
Todoroki Enji, the boy seemed fairly normal, apart from his mask. The two middle schoolers were stuck by the hip, more because of the blonde haired boy than the other boy. They were close, this was obvious, and incredibly talented, both were sparing in front of them, and their skill was nothing to scoff at. Nana had really outdone herself when she found those two. He should have known that the boy was just as weird as his spandex wearing friend.
"What did he do?"
"He writes porn in his spare time. I think the only reason he doesn't read it in plain sight is because of Toshinori."
"This society is doom, their top hero will be a color-blind martial artist fanatic and a barely covert pervert."
"So you believe they will become top hero?" Nana smiled.
"I'm not nearly deep enough in denial." scoffed Gran Torino. "These boys will breathe through UA, I pity their teacher."
He didn't like the silence that followed his words, turning his head to his friend and seeing her sheepish grin, she knew that she had done something, again.
"Talking about this Gran…"
He was doomed.
As he had thought, Todoroki and Yagi were both monsters in becoming. The robots wouldn't have stood any chance from the start, they wouldn't have left any for the other participant. Putting them through the recommendation exam had been a good choice. Now if only they could have taken this more seriously, or maybe less seriously, he didn't know what to think of the scene in front of him. At his right, he could hear Nana's unrepentant snicker, the woman had known this would happen, and didn't think to warn them in advance.
This year, the exam for recommended student was an urban race, a straightforward task. But the race had become a contest between the two boys, who had seen fit to transform it into one of their "bet" which Gran Torino would later acquaintance himself with more than he would have liked. A soon as the whistle was blown, the two contestants blew past the others students, people would have thought that with One for All, the race was in the bag for Yagi, but Todoroki kept up by using his flames as propellors and throwing walls of flame in front of Yagi so he couldn't truly use his speed. Both had too much ease to navigate themselves around the course, maybe they were familiar with parkour, or maybe they did something in their spare time, that Gran Torino was sure would give him a headache.
It was easy to see that Todoroki and Toshinori would easily finish the course, the question was more of who would be first and who would be second. Maybe the race would have been more entertaining to watch if he wasn't one of the homeroom teachers, but watching them still in the air, throwing object at each other and fighting with soup tureen and a spatula which they had found in one of the building, as if they had jumped out of a gag manga, Gran Torino could only think: "I can't let them be put in the same class"
A/N: Really short chapter. I'm so happy that people are interested in this fic! Thanks for those who reviewed and kudo this fic! I'm glad that people liked my headcanon. Some are glad that Lee will reincarnate as Midoriya and some less, and while I am pretty sure that Lee will become Midoriya, I also like Deku so much that it would be kind of a shame to completely erase him, so maybe I'll write some omake in which there isn't Lee!Deku. I won't update for quite some time I think, so I'll take this opportunity to let the readers decide of the POV of the next chapter. Option 1: Shimura Tenko, Option 2: Bakugo Katsuki. I already have a rough idea of how it will go for these pov.
PS: I also want to write this fic version KHR in BnHA, so many headcanons.
Interviner: Yeees, I write his POV first bc of this! Class 1-A will come in later, first I'll do some background (even if it won't be in chronological order, and then I'll write the canon in chronological order...it's weird)
Uzumaki Sora: I really hesitated to put Lee!Deku or not, bc I just love how Midoriya works! And he would have made a nice contrast with Gai. But in the end, I just love how Lee would fit in 1-A, maybe I'll write some omake about if Lee wasn't Deku
AkabaneKazama: Thanks for the review! Gai is reincarnated as you can see. And yes for now it'll be a one shot serie, but later I'll write something more story like. Now it'll be a collection of one shot.
3milly: Of course! Aizawa is such a ninja sometimes, and I love the idea of Kakashi tor-teaching Aizawa and transforming him in the sadistic-ish teacher that he is in canon.
Haruhibunny: Thanks! Glad you like the idea!
