Happy Holidays! Since it is officially the last weekend before Christmas, I am going to inform you all that this will be the last chapter posted before the holiday season ends. I work in retail, and it is getting absolutely nuts. So for now enjoy and I will see you all again after a bit of a break.
Remember unless it's OC I DON'T OWN IT!
Chapter Five
"That was actually a lot more fun than I expected." Mina called out as the girl group of 1-A met up again after the lectures ended.
The seven girls had just finished Midnight's final lecture on Coordinator protocol and got the chance to see the stage they would be performing on from time to time when it came time for such things.
"Sure it was a lecture, but we got to bring our partners out and get a feel for the arts!" She said her excitement was still in the air.
"While I don't plan to be a coordinator…it was nice to see what you are going to do to prepare." Tsuyu said with her usual deadpan. All the girls were walking with their partners out.
Izumi had Sunny walking beside her while Allura was resting on her shoulders. Ochacho was carrying Cutie while Queen walked beside her, Momo with Psy and Toxica, Mina carrying Perfume the Gloom, while Tsuyu had a Poliwhirl named Swirl, Kyoka had Stereo the Noidbat on her head, and Toru had a Haunter she called Trickster floating beside her.
The sun was setting as the group headed back towards their dorm building when they arrived Izumi giggled at the sight of Katsuki sitting in a lawn chair while Blaze rested next to him.
While Kirishima was running nearby being chased by Chomper and Daenerys while a Geodude floated nearby. "Looks like my horn buddy is trying to expel some excess energy." Mina commented as they approached.
Daenerys noticed the approaching group before she chirped in happiness and flew over landing in Izumi's arms making the greenette giggle. "Hello to you too. Did you have fun with Katsuki and your brother?" She asked as she cuddled the Dragon type.
"She mostly spent the time on my shoulders. This is the first time she got to do anything." Katsuki explained as he rose from his seat with Blaze opening his eyes causing his plums to light up as they approached.
"Girls this is my brother in all but blood Katsuki Bakugou and his partners Blaze and Daenerys. Katsuki the ones you don't know are Mina…" Mina waved. "…Tsuyu…" She gave a small wave. "…Toru…" The mint haired girl waved with a bright smile. "…and Kyoka."
"Hello." The punk dressed girl said, making him nod.
"How has your day been Kaachan?" Ochacho asked making Katsuki glare at her.
"Don't call me that Round Face!" He hissed, getting a puffed-up pout.
"I'll stop when you stop calling me Round Face!" She yelled as the pair glared at one another foreheads once more pressed against one another sparks appearing.
Momo sighed at the sight. "Fair warning Katsuki tends to give people nicknames instead of calling you by your proper name." She explained making Katsuki suddenly move causing Ochacho to fall onto the ground without his support.
"Must you talk about me like that Ponytail?" He asked, causing her to simply motion towards him in explanation.
"Makes me wonder what he plans to call us?" Mina wondered before she looked back at Izumi with the little Dratini.
"Anyway…" He started making everyone pay attention again. "…the other extras are inside if you want to meet and greet." He explained motioning towards the building.
Izumi sighed long used to her brother's views of the others. "Must you?" She asked, making him shrug.
"Until they prove to me otherwise." He said, making her sigh again before she looked down at Dany.
"Please don't ever get his attitude." She begged, making the Dratini giggle as she snuggled into her cheek.
"Stop spoiling my Dragon!" He hissed as he walked up and took Daenerys back from her.
"I'm her aunt…it's my prerogative." Izumi defended as she followed behind with Allura giggling from her place on Izumi's shoulders.
"And you aren't one to talk considering you bought a supply of Moo, Moo Milk for Allura when she was only on bottle meals." She said, making Katsuki shrug as they walked towards the dorm.
"Just making sure she was healthy." He shrugged as they walked in with Kirishima joining their group.
"So is he a nice guy who just has a rough exterior, or an asshole who has a soft side?" Mina asked in a whisper to her horn buddy who shrugged.
"Don't know yet. He does have an ally pin though." He whispered back thinking that at least didn't make the guy all bad.
"Well he is Izumi's brother." Mina pointed out making Kirishima wave his hand in a so-so manner, getting a nod.
After all, not all family was supportive of the LGBT plus community. "Are you two done talking about me?" The pair jumped as they looked to see Katsuki giving them a hard eye form over his shoulder.
"Sorry." They said together. The group walked in to find a familiar blue haired teen talking loudly and waving a single hand around in a robot-like manner.
"Not again!" Izumi and Katsuki groused aloud making said teen turn towards them.
"Ah…you two." He said as he walked up to the pair. However before either of them could open their mouths he bowed to them. "I'm terribly sorry!" He said making Katsuki close his opened mouth while Izumi blinked.
"You were right…I had no right to judge the pair of you that day." He said, making the others in the room look at him in confusion.
"Wait a minute…? This is the guy who tried to pick a fight because he thought you two were taking the entrance exam seriously?" Ochacho asked, making the teen in question flinch slightly.
"Again I'm sorry. I realize I let my own worries about the exam make me a little…hostile." He explained to the group.
Katsuki snorted before he walked past the teen. "Fine but accuse me of not taking this seriously again and I'll show you just how strong my partners are." He said, making the blue haired teen nod.
"Agreed. I'm Tenya Iida by the way." He introduced making the others nod.
"Izumi Midoriya and I forgive you too." Izumi said, making him nod in understanding.
Before any of the others could speak up an adult spoke up. "Well at least I won't have to worry about teenage drama right off the bat." The teens in question turned to see Aizawa standing near the kitchen with Mirio and Nejire both holding platters.
"I'm Shota Aizawa aka Eraserhead. I'll be your homeroom teacher for the next three years. You already met Lemillion…" Mirio nodded. "…and Nejire Chan." Izumi blinked at Nejire's stage name but didn't get a chance to question it before Aizawa-sensei spoke up again.
"Follow us to the class one meet and greet. You will introduce yourselves there as well as meet the other RA students and some of the teachers." He said before stepping out of the door with his RA students following behind.
The twenty members of 1-A followed out of the dorms past the other dorm building towards a smaller building where they saw lawn chairs, a grill, coolers, and some games waiting.
At said grill was a hulking gray-haired man wearing a red outfit. "Vlad, I've brought the supplies and my students." Aizawa said, making Vlad King look up.
"Welcome to the first year meet and greet. Since it's still nice weather we've decided to have a barbeque and just in time for me to place the first bits of food on. For any who are vegetarian or vegan there are options that will be brought out when the rest is done cooking." He explained getting nods.
"While you wait now is the best time for both classes to introduce yourselves." Aizawa pointed out motioning to the other twenty teens that walked out of the building carrying tables, food, and other items one needed for an outdoor cookout.
"Aizawa-sensei is right!" Nejire pointed out in her usual bubbly voice as two more third year students walked out as well, each ladened down with bags of chips and other snacks.
"Since we're the RA students we'll start. I'm Nejire Hado, stage name Nejire Chan, head of the Puffball Coordinators club, and I'm working on being a professional coordinator while also looking into the fashion industry!" She called out in eager joy.
Mirio chuckled before raising his hand. "I'm Mirio Togata or Lemillion. I'm currently head of the Dragonite battle club and current ranking trainer student of UA. I'm looking to become champ or at the very least replace one of the elite four." He explained.
Izumi blinked at that information; it was a lofty goal and she was sure Mirio-senpai would be up for it.
"I'm Yuyu Haya. I'm a future doctor and nutritionist for Pokémon in general. I am also interning for Recovery Girl as some of you saw earlier so please don't hesitate to come to me if you need help." The spiky haired girl said before they all looked at the spiky black-haired teen with slightly elongated ears giving him an elvish look.
"Tamaki Amajiki or Suneater…and I can't do this." He commented trying to turn away and leave only for Mirio to arrive and stop him.
"Don't mind him. He's a bit of an introvert. He's one of the best trainers and is quite the showcase performer." Mirio explained.
"As you can guess we're the RA students of your first year. Now who would like to get the introductions underway?" He asked not getting a response right away.
However, Tenya raised his hand as he walked up releasing his Voltorb and two headed bird, a Doduo. "Hello, I am Tenya Iida from Somei academy. These are my partners Voltorb and Doduo. I wish to one day join my brother's gym so I can one day either take over or learn what I need to, so I am one day start my own." He explained making Katsuki snort.
"If he came here from Somei, that would explain the stick up his ass." He hissed to Izumi who barely hid a snort of amusement.
After Tenya the ball started rolling with Momo following introducing her partners, then Mina, Kirishima, and Toru went next before a new face walked up.
This time a boy with blond hair and a black streak that looked like a lightning bolt. "What's up! I'm Denki Kaminari, future Electric type extraordinaire! This is my buddy Sparky!" He called out motioning towards the Pikachu on his shoulder.
"Sounds like he wants to be another Present Mic." Izumi commented to her brother who simply nodded with a grunt.
Next up was a familiar flamboyant boy Izumi remembered from her exam. "Hello one and all! I am the dazzling coordinator/trainer Yuga Aoyama!" He said as his body seemed to twinkle showing off the sequins in his clothing.
"Oi…" Katsuki groaned since he wasn't one for bubbly people.
"And this is my partner Roselia!" Aoyama called out as his partner bowed.
"I saw him move into a room on my floor…I swear if he wakes me up with some jazzercise bullshit I am going to kick his ass." Katsuki commented, making Izumi flinch.
Katsuki liked his sleep and tended to take it very personally if one tried to upset his schedule.
Kyoka went next, introducing Stereo. She was followed by Tokoyami who showed off his Murkrow as well as his new partner a Heracross before explaining he planned to become a trainer who liked a mixture of Flying and Dark types.
Soon a blond-haired teen wearing a karate Gi walked up with a Throh by his side. "Hello, I'm Mashirao Ojiro and I'm a fighting type trainer while also being a martial artist myself. I wish to one day start up my own Dojo like Kendo-sensei." He explained making Izumi blink.
"He and Itsuka must know one another." She thought as the martial artist stepped down and allowed Ochacho to step up.
Tsuyu went after her, showing off Swirl. After her walked up a lavender haired teen with dark circles around his eyes giving him quite the shared appearance with their homeroom teacher.
"Shinso Hitoshi…" He simply introduced before motioning to the rottweiler like Pokémon by his side. A Houndour. "…this is Mira, my partner. I like dark types mainly but don't mind training others as well." He said before walking off.
"Isn't that the guy Kirishima mentioned earlier?" Izumi asked Mina who nodded, meaning he was on their floor.
Izumi walked up after that to introduce herself and her partners with a smile mentioning that her goal was to become Top Coordinator as well as the champ.
When she left the stage she heard a few whispers. "Isn't that the girl who placed first in the exam?" A blond boy from the 1-B students asked.
"Yep…and she's scary smart too. I'll bet she could've taken the recommended exams as well if her school had been able to sponsor her." Juzo Honenuki replied, making Izumi blush slightly.
"She doesn't seem all that tough." The green mohawk student said, getting a growl from Katsuki who suddenly marched up.
"Katsuki Bakugo…remember it because one day all of you extras will be looking up as I take the championship!" He called out making Izumi sigh as the attention turned to her brother as many of the 1-B students glared at his attitude.
"Guy has some ego…but you can't deny his dedication to helping a friend." Kirishima pointed out having noticed how Katsuki went up when people had started to down talk Izumi.
"These are my partners Blaze and Daenerys, two of the best here! If you have something to say about it…come and prove me wrong!" He hissed in challenge before jumping down with Blaze keeping his nose in the air while Daenerys hissed at a few of the glaring faces.
Shoto Todoroki walked up next with his Alolan Vulpix and surprisingly an Alolan Sandshrew as well.
Once Katsuki was next to his friend he received a gentle nudge from her. "You didn't have to do that." She whispered, making him shrug.
"I know…but it felt good." He stated making Izumi giggle slightly before quickly side hugging him. "Get off!" He growled under his breath making her giggle again before she looked up to see Todoroki walking off the stage already.
"Darn missed it." She thought as she watched Todoroki stand with the group once more.
A tall muscular teen walked up wearing a face mask by his side a Machop walked with pride. "I'm Mezu Shoji and this is my friend and partner Champ. I am planning on being a mixed type trainer while looking into possibly opening a health gym." He explained showing he is a man of few words.
Next up walked a shy looking teen with short black hair and wide eyes by his side walked a Deerling that was orange and white with yellow spots and a yellow flower atop of its head. Showing off its autumn coat.
He waved before motioning with his hands. "Um…what?" Kaminari asked, not understanding.
"He's introducing himself as Koji Koda." Izumi said as she walked up. Koda looked at her before motioning his hands again, making her nod.
"Yes I sign, and I have no problem translating for you." She said moving her hands as she talked. Izumi moved gently to the side as Koda signed again.
"'I am mute…'" She translated. "'…so I communicate mainly through sign language so please do not be offended if I don't answer a question right away. I can hear perfectly so don't be afraid to talk to me, and I try to always carry a notepad with me for those who don't understand sign. This is my partner Fauna. I am trying to gain my license so I can become a Pokémon breeder, doctor, and all-around caregiver.'"
She explained for him getting nods of understanding from the group. After all, to become a doctor or nurse you don't need a trainer's license, but if you want to become a registered breeder, having one saved time and effort.
Once he was done Koda smiled and signed to Izumi making her smile back. "You are most welcome." She replied, signing as she spoke.
"Why does Izumi know sign language?" Ochacho asked Katsuki who smiled slightly.
"There is a little girl named Nana that lives in her neighborhood. She's deaf and can't speak normally. Her parents would sometimes bring her by the center where Auntie Inko and Izumi worked at so she could see the Pokémon and interact with the gentle breeds in the kiddie zone.
Since the zone was one of Deku's responsibilities she took to looking after Nana constantly. She learned sign in order to help her navigate the world." He explained making the group blink in surprise while he gained a small smile.
"Wow…she really is a big cinnamon roll." Kyoka commented, making the group who had gotten to know her nod in agreement.
"Just wait till you see her interact with kids." Katsuki thought remembering the constant comments directed towards Izumi when she worked at the kiddie zone.
"Why Deku?" Kirishima asked, making Katsuki smirk.
"Dekiru…she can do anything she puts her mind to." He simply answered, making the redhead blink before smiling widely.
A minute later Koda and Izumi walked back after he thanked her and expressed happiness that they shared the same floor so if he ever needed to find her quickly he could.
Up next walked a black-haired teen with hair that fell to his shoulder with a wide smile but kind of a flat look to his face.
"Hello everyone. I'm Hanta Sero." He said smiling before motioning towards his side where a brown and yellow rat like Pokémon with puffed cheeks and red and yellow eyes stood.
"This is Bucky, my Watchog partner. I am also a mixed type trainer but I tend to favor Normal types because they can learn so many different moves." He explained before allowing the final student another muscular guy with spiky brown hair and big lips walk up.
He wore clothing like Kirishima showing he was from Iwa, but unlike Kirishima he had a Phanpy by his side. "Hello. I'm Rikido Sato from Iwa. I'm interested in becoming a Pokémon nutritionist as well as a professional trainer. I tend to bake different poffins and other sweets constantly so please feel free to come and be my test subjects if you like sweet things."
He explained making a few of the girls smile at the idea of having a supply of sweet snacks nearby. "This is my buddy Phanpy." He introduced getting a trumpet from the tiny elephant like Pokémon.
With that Class 1-A had officially finished their introductions making Itsuka walk up and introduce herself as well as her partners.
She was followed by the other members of the top fourteen. Tetsutetsu walked up showing his Aron and Cubone neither of whom had nicknames, Yosetsu Awase walked up showing his extra partner is a Psyduck beside his Roggenrola, Togake and Ibara went after them showing off their partners, finally was Honenuki with his partner Drillbur and hatched Magby.
After them Yui walked up. "I am Yui Kodai, and this is my partner Kirlia. I wish to become a top Psychic type expert while also enjoying life as a coordinator and trainer." She simply said before walking off.
Komori followed shyly introducing herself and her Paras partner before walking off with a large blush. Pony walked up with a Miltank she had raised on her family's farm as a child she affectionately called Betsy of all things. Reiko walked up next and introduced a Gothita she called Gwen to the others.
With the girls done the rest of the guys introduced themselves as well. First was Sen Kaibara who introduced a Slowpoke he called Dopy, then the green mohawk styled Kamakiri walked up with his Scyther, Shihai Kuroiro and his Zorua, Jurota and his Darumaka, Nirengeki and his Makuhita, Kosei and his Sigilyph, Manga and his Smeargle, and Kojiro and his Goomy.
After him the blond who had asked about Izumi walked up releasing a purple blob. "A Ditto?" Most asked internally with their heads tilted.
"That right look on us in splendor!" The guy called out holding his hands out.
"I am Neito Monoma! With my partner at my side we are going to prove that just because we were placed in 1-B doesn't mean we aren't as strong as any of you!" He called out laughing dramatically.
"Oh brother." Katsuki said aloud, making everyone there nod while Itsuka appeared, and karate chopped Monoma, cutting off his laughter.
"Sorry about him. He has a bit of an inferiority complex and seems to have placed it mainly upon you guys. He's mostly harmless so please don't be too offended." She said with a slight bow before dragging Monoma away.
Finally a young man with his black hair pulled back into a braided ponytail walked up with a blue miniature tyrannosaurus rex beside him.
"Oh wow! A Tyrunt!" Izumi called out in shock as she quickly got to work on her sketching.
"That's right this is Bite, my partner who was rejuvenated from a fossil by my parents. Since he was so young they agreed to let me raise him. I'm Hiryu Rin." He said as Izumi approached cautiously, holding out her hand.
Bite looked at her as she stopped just before him allowing him to make the final approach. Izumi waited before Bite gently pressed his snout against her palm. She smiled as she gently scratched between the pair of short horns upon his head before moving her hand around causing Bite to turn onto his back allowing her to scratch his belly.
"How did you do that?" Hiryu asked surprised to see Bite in the vulnerable position.
"Dragon types, even mixed ones, all have a desire to grow stronger, but they also have a very playful side in their early stages." Izumi explained as Bite began to bounce one of his feet in the air as she scratched him.
"It isn't until they're older that they gain the attitude they're famous for. This little guy is…" She took a moment to count the spikes around his neck like a white collar. "…just barely a full adolescent. Meaning I still have plenty of time to enjoy just a little bit of playfulness." She said before gently turning Bite onto his stomach and gently lifting his jaw.
She also took out her brainy specs as the girls had begun to call them as she looked at the teeth. "He's in pretty good dental health, but you should probably add some Aspear Berries to his diet since the slight spice of them can help prepare him for his more powerful Dragon type moves.
Also a good strong chew bone wouldn't hurt either since this species tends to use such devices to ease any aches." She said before lowering Bite's jaw. She ran her hands down his spine getting the Pokémon to purr.
"Usually he's stubborn." Hiryu said, making Izumi giggle.
"That's true of most fossil Pokémon since they rely almost completely on their instincts to survive. Whereas most of todays' Pokémon have had more interactions with humans." She said before releasing the Tyrunt from her hands getting the Dragon/Rock type to blink in surprise at the sudden release from the scratching and petting.
"Can you show me more about Dragon types? I want to mainly focus on them and learning a bit about such tricks would really help." Hiryu asked, making Izumi smile.
"I'm already making nutrition charts for my female classmates. If you like, I could do the same for you one weekend when we're free." She said with a smile, making him return it.
"Damn you and the power of Dibbs." Vlad hissed to Aizawa who just smirked under his scarf.
"Chicken's ready kids!" Vlad called out after making the teens look towards him.
Soon everyone was chowing down on barbecued chicken, potato salad, and other such options as each broke into their own little groups to talk more about their hobbies and goals.
Izumi was enjoying a conversational debate about certain nutritional value of different barriers with Yuyu-senpai with a few others gathered around to listen to them talk.
Once the moon was climbing high in the sky, Aizawa and Vlad called the evening to a close and everyone returned to their dorms for the night.
The next morning Izumi walked out of the dorm with Sunny and Allura. She wore a green sports bra, green exercise shorts, white running shoes with green laces, and her hair was pulled up in a ponytail.
"Alright you two. Let's get started." She said, making Sunny and Allura nod as the three began to stretch out.
A minute later Katsuki walked out wearing a sleeveless black and orange shirt, black sweatpants, with green and red running shoes. Daenerys hanging on his shoulders while Blaze cantered by his feet.
"Good morning." She said, getting a nod as the pair led their partners through morning stretches.
Eventually the pair looked up to see a still sleepy looking Ochacho who was wearing a pair of sweats yawning loudly.
Momo walked out wearing an outfit like Izumi with red replacing the green and black instead of white shoes. "Late start you two." Katsuki growled.
Momo shrugged nervously. "Sorry. It took a while to coax Ochacho out of bed." She explained making the brother and sister pair look at the bob cut girl who was barely standing on her feet.
Katsuki growled once more before they heard the door once more. The group looked in surprise to see Kirishima walking out. He blinked at the sight of the group before him.
"Morning…I didn't think anyone else would be out and about." He commented as he walked out wearing a pair of gray sweatpants and a sleeveless red shirt, his usual bandanna and red and white running shoes.
Katsuki growled into the air. "Anybody else?! Or can we get started?!" He called out only for the door to open again and show Todoroki, Iida, and Shoji walk out.
"I WAS FUCKING KIDDING!" He shouted into the sky.
After the 'fiasco' of a morning…as Katsuki called it…Izumi and her classmates soon were out and about once more this time to learn more about the schools' clubs whether they be battle, coordinator, or showcase clubs depending on their personal choices.
"Mirio-senpai seemed pretty excited for some reason." Momo pointed out as they walked.
"He's the leader of one of the battle clubs. He's probably excited to see if they gain any new members." Izumi pointed out to her crush.
"Are you going to join a Coordinators club?" Mina asked Izumi since the girls had decided to stick together for now.
"I asked Nejire-senpai and it's okay to join multiple clubs as long as your grades don't slip. So I'm going to check out the Dragonite Battle Club first and see if it's for me. What about you?" Izumi asked her pink loving neighbor.
"Midnight-sensei is the advisor to one of the coordinator clubs. I'm going to look into it to see if I'd enjoy it."
"Sounds like a plan, but I plan to investigate the type of clubs I've heard about. I am interested in seeing what the Water Type club is like." Tsuyu commented, making everyone start to talk about where they are going.
"Welcome to the Dragonite Club!" Mirio called out in eager joy while Amajiki nearby looked very uncomfortable.
The battle club in general was inside a seemingly empty room. There were four other upper-class students in the room showing that the club had lost a lot of their numbers this year.
"Here we work together to not only improve our skills as battlers but to expand our knowledge of Pokémon in general." He explained as he continued to talk.
"Sounds like you already fit in perfectly." Katsuki commented to Izumi making her roll her eyes but not deny the point.
"Now…at this time I would explain what makes us different from the other clubs. The main difference is…how we will hold tryouts." He explained scratching the back of his head with his eyes closed.
"Huh?" The first years gathered asked in confusion. Amajiki sighed as he walked up.
"At any point in time there are twelve or more members in each club. Dragonite holds internal tournaments between their members to see who is in the top six. The six in question are the frontrunners for any school tournaments involving the Battle Clubs.
The remaining are reserve students. Each club also holds tryouts to see if a student can join and keep up with the other members. However as you've noticed…" He motioned to the other four nearby. "…our numbers have dropped considerably. So instead of battling to gain position in the club…you will battle in a bracket to determine your position in the club."
He explained before bringing up a tournament bracket he had on a clipboard. "Since there are so many of you…" He motioned to the group of first years gathered around the club. Izumi looked as well. Besides herself and Katsuki the others there were Ochacho, Kirishima, Kyoka, Tokoyami, Kaminari, Koda, Shinso, Itsuka, Ibara, Togake, Tetsutetsu, and Yui.
Momo was currently looking into the Coordinator/Showcase Performer club that Nejire-senpai was a part of with Midnight-sensei advising with most of the other girls.
Iida and Todoroki had walked off to one of the other clubs with the rest of the trainer students.
"So basically we're going to battle it out to determine which of us are the representatives of our club?" Itsuka asked, making Mirio nod.
"Yep. To keep it fair these will only be one on one battles." He explained getting nods from the first years.
"Sounds like fun! I can't wait to battle it out!" Kirishima called out in eagerness.
"This is a super manly way to join a club!" Tetsutetsu called out, making Itsuka and Katsuki sigh.
"Can't believe there are two of them." The pair groused together.
"Please come up and draw lots." Amajiki motioned towards a box with a hold on the front.
Before anyone could get the chance Katsuki walked up first and drew a number. "8." He read making Amajiki nod as he jotted down on the clipboard.
One of the senpai went next. She was a tall woman with fang like marks or tattoos on her face that were red, a wild look about her face and hair, said hair was brown and very spiky, she wore grayish black pants and a long-sleeved shirt covered by a dark green vest covered in pockets.
"Ha three!" She called out.
"I'm Tsume Inuzuka by the way!" She called out to the group before moving back.
"Whoops…forgot introductions." Mirio chuckled embarrassed at the oversight.
"It's okay Mirio-senpai. Tsume is just excited is all." Another student said as he walked up this one a serious looking male with black round sunglasses covering his eyes, a weathered coat covering most of his body, and black spiky hair showing from the top since the collar of the coat covered his face from the nose down.
"I'm Shino. I'm a bug type expert but don't think that means you'll win easily." He introduced as he drew a number. "19." He read making Amajiki nod.
"Guess I'll go next." This time the older student was a more rounded student not overweight by any means but clear signs of a gut. He had swirl like marks on his kind face, auburn hair that ran down into a ponytail, and a green jacket covering a red vest with black pants.
"Call me Choji. I tend to focus on heavier Pokémon since I prefer Power to speed. 2." He said, making Amajiki nod as the final senpai walked up.
"I'm Chojuro." The blue haired teen said as he walked up. He wore a blue sweater with black lines running all around it, a pair of snow camouflage pants, black boots, and what seemed like a vest with a plate on the front.
"I am a mixed type trainer who usually prefers Water, Ice, or Steel types." He said adjusting the square spectacles he wore while a pair of blue and white headphones hung around his neck. "Looks like he's shy like Amajiki-senpai." Izumi thought.
"18." Chojuro said making Amajiki nod.
"Since Amajiki is doing the numbers I'll draw for both of us." Mirio said getting nods of approval.
"Amajiki gets…4." He said aloud before placing the paper aside to draw again.
"While I'm…17." Once he was done Kirishima and Tetsutetsu rushed up to draw.
Before they could fight for the position Kirishima tripped slightly in his rush up allowing the gray-haired clone to draw first.
"13!" He called out before moving aside to let Kirishima go.
"And I get…10!" Once the rowdier members of the group were done Itsuka went up.
"Number nine." She said getting a nod as she walked back. Izumi walked up after that. "I got…16." She said wondering who she would be facing off against.
Kaminari went up next and cursed under his breath once he looked at his number. "7." He said with a gulp as he looked towards a smirking Katsuki. "I'm dead." He whined as he walked off with a sulk.
Tokoyami walked up next. "Fate has given me…number five." He said holding the paper out.
Yui went next and blinked. "Number six." She said making Tokoyami blink as the pair looked at one another.
Ibara walked up next and placed her hand inside the box. "Please lord and savior give me a good draw." She prayed aloud her body seeming to cover in light before she pulled her hand out.
"1." She said making Amajiki nod. "What was that?" Shinso asked getting shrugs from the others before he walked up.
"14." The tired looking boy said before he walked back.
"Nice!" Tetsutetsu cheered at the knowledge of whom he was likely to face. Ochacho walked up and drew a lot. "11." She said with a bright smile.
"Looks like I'm last to draw." Togake commented as she walked up and pulled out her number.
"12." She said, making Kyoka sigh.
"Which makes me 15." She commented looking towards Izumi looking slightly distraught.
Amajiki nodded as he wrote down names before looking at everyone. "Here are the matches." He said showing a normal tournament bracket…but the placements were off.
"What the…?!" The first years called out, making the second years sigh.
"Amajiki-senpai tends to switch up things like that. His training programs work…but they tend to feel like they come out of left field." Choji explained to them.
"So matches will be Choji vs Shino." The serious and kind senpai looked at one another before nodding.
"Tsume vs Chojuro." Tsume smirked as she looked at the blue haired senpai.
"Myself vs Mirio." Mirio smiled at the match.
"Tokoyami vs Midoriya." Izumi looked at Tokoyami, both nodding at the idea of battling.
"Kodai vs Jiro." The punk rock girl looked at the brown-haired girl who just kept a deadpan look.
"Kaminari vs Shinso." The tired looking boy sighed at the sight of the loud blond who looked relieved.
"Bakugo vs Tetsutetsu." Katsuki nodded once as Tetsutetsu pumped himself up.
"Kendo vs Togake." Togake hissed slightly as Kendo looked ready.
"Kirishima vs Uraraka." Ochacho looked pumped up as Kirishima clenched his fist.
"Shiozaki gets the bye and will face the winner of the last match." Ibara nodded in understanding.
"Follow us to the training field." Mirio said, waving his hand as the group walked towards the back area of the school. Izumi couldn't help but feel excited for her first official match at UA. "I just hope we all have fun." She thought as she passed the doorway outside.
That's all for now. Happy Holidays and R&R
