Classes were... interesting, to say the least.
In every subject, he had different teachers. Midnight's class was definitely the most distracting. I mean, did she have to wear her hero costume when she was teaching? I was never going to learn anything...
Later that day, we were back in class with Mr Aizawa. He was saying something about a task we had to do, and it sounded really ominous. Turns out, we were picking our class representatives.
Everyone started shouting that they wanted to be the president then. Even Bakugo! I think it was because a role like this is great for leadership. I think I may have been the only person in the class not raising their hand.
Just then, Tenya came up with a good idea. We would have a class vote to decide the positions. Mr Aizawa said do whatever you want, and fell asleep in his sleeping bag.
"I wonder who I should vote for, I don't want to vote for myself..." I thought. I just hoped that someone who wasn't rude was made the president. I decided who I was going to vote for.
Then, we tallied up the votes. The person with the most votes was... a three-way tie between Midoriya, Yaoyorozu, and... me? Are you serious?
We all came up to the podium, and it was decided we would have another vote between the three of us. Before we could do so, I said: "I don't need to be a class position, Midoriya and Yaoyorozu can be president and vice-president.".
It was then decided that after lunch, we would vote between the two of them.
I was then asked to come to lunch with Kirishima, which I complied with. After we got our food, I sat down at a table with a bunch of people I didn't know. Kirishima introduced these people as Kaminari, Jirou, and Sero. They were all in our class, which was cool as well. We got along well and were ready to head back to class when an alarm went off in the school.
Apparently, this alarm meant that someone has breached the security of the school. Everybody was in a panic to get out of the cafeteria, it was a stampede! I was pushed to the side and almost fell over, about to be crushed by all of the people running by, when Tenya caught me. I was then pushed forward with him and Uraraka, who was eating lunch with him at the time. Tenya said he had to get up on the sign over above the doorway, and I had an idea of how to get him there.
"Uraraka, make Tenya weightless!" I shouted. As soon as her hand touched him, he began to float and dropped his glasses which I caught. I would give them to him later. I then extended one of my hands on the sign above the door, and another towards Tenya. Fists clenched, and soft 'pop' was heard, and then Tenya was floating above the crowd.
He then gave a speech of sorts about how we are Yuuei students, and how we should act like that. Everyone slowly calmed down, and it was revealed that the press were actually the ones who somehow broke into the school.
Eventually, we all got back to class. I still felt the adrenaline pumping through my veins from earlier, but now it was time to calm down and vote for the positions.
Midoriya and Yaoyorozu walked up to the podium once again. Midoriya then said he had something he wanted to say. He started talking about how Tenya should be the president instead of him, and that he handled the situation at lunch very well. I agreed with him, and Yaoyorozu was upset but fine with that.
It was settled. Tenya was the president, and Yaoyorozu was the vice-president of class 1-A.
The day continued without any more major interruptions. There was this one thing in math that was really annoying to solve, but after like half an hour, my group solved our problem. Well, I sort of solved it alone. My group was the group I had eaten lunch with. The only person who helped me with Jirou, but Kirishima, Kaminari and Sero were more there for moral support.
When we finished it, it was a huge celebration at our table. I mean, half an hour for one long-ass problem? I think that deserves some celebrating.
"Guys, we should go out to celebrate our amazing accomplishment after school!" Kaminari shouted to us.
Everyone agreed, but I was still a bit... timid? I don't know, but it was just a bit difficult to already go out with this new group of people I had just met today.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Kirishima.
"What about you, man? Are you coming? I think that you kind of have to, seeing as you sort of solved the whole problem for us!" Kirishima chirped happily.
"Hey, I helped too!" Jirou could be heard shouting from behind us.
I guess that if Kirishima was going, I would be okay with going too. I did like this new group of friends, and it would be a great way to get to know them better.
"Of course, why wouldn't I?"
When school ended, we all set out to a local ramen bar that Kirishima said was really good. Once we got there, we all sat at a booth, but it was sort of small so we were all smushed together. Of course, Kirishima sits next to me. Why not?
Anyways, after we all ordered, I got to know this new group of people better. We all started explaining our quirks to each other, and they were all super cool! Kaminari could emit electricity. Jirou had really good hearing and could blast sound waves with her hero costume. Sero could shoot really strong tape, and Kirishima could make his body super hard. Ok, that sounded weird, but you get the point.
"So, what's your quirk, Robaato? I've seen you use it, but I don't really understand what it is?" asked Sero.
"Well, it's sort of confusing," I started. "Pretty much, I can swap any object with another object that I can see, any person with another person I can see, or any person with an object I can see. Though this one time," I started, thinking about that time with Uraraka and Bakugo on that first day of training. "No, nevermind. Anyways, the more I do it, the more tired I feel, and swapping people makes me more tired than objects." I explained.
"Wow, that's so awesome!"
"That's why you got 1st on the entrance exam!"
"That's a dangerous quirk though if not used right."
As everyone started talking about my quirk, I wasn't really paying attention, but that last statement got me.
"You're right Jirou. It is very dangerous. When I was little, I used my power in a bad way. I had to move from where I lived, swap location I guess." This was something I had tried to ignore for a long time, and I wasn't ready to talk with my new friends about it yet.
"Wow, what happened?"
"Hey, he might not want to tell us."
"You're right, sorry Robaato."
This talk continued for a while, but I just couldn't stop thinking about what happened on that day all those years ago.
I guess that was why I wanted to become a hero. Because I couldn't save the people I cared about. Because that's what they would've wanted.
Or maybe it was because I was the one who they needed saving from.
