It was a bit of a whirlwind after the teams were announced and they were all are ushered off the stage. The events of the evening rolled fast and hard as Beacon did its best to see to it that Izuku and his team were ready to attend their classes and be full students of Beacon Academy by the next morning . It was all really a lot; first the four of them were quickly ushered around the school in order familiarize themselves with the campus. Now that they were actual, not just potential, students, the staff deemed it acceptable to actually let them know where most things in the school were. Various classes, the dining hall, the kitchen, training rooms for the students (though Izuku noticed they didn't show the training rooms for the teachers that Toshinori had mentioned), and the forge where weapons, armor and other materials could be repaired or tinkered with (closed for the moment but to be open again in the morning). When they had gotten done with the abbreviated tour, the teachers then began to load the students up with their materials.

While Beacon Academy wouldn't provide its students with everything they might have needed, it was a school after all and certain items were prohibitively expensive, it did keep it's students stocked with the basics; books, pencils, notebooks and school sanctioned uniforms. When they had found that Izuku hadn't registered a Scroll with the Academy, a School-Sanctioned Scroll was dropped on top of the pile of his supplies. It was basic, he could tell just by looking at it; messaging functions so he could get in touch with his team and the school, a rather basic CCT browser to look up information or other such things on the fly, and an active connection to the school's network for things like the Sparring Class and to ensure that Beacon knew where he was on campus should an emergency hit.

It wasn't anything fancy, he could probably have bought something more upscale with his own money, but...

'Well, it is my first Scroll,' he began to finger through a Beacon's home page rather mindlessly, 'I guess, it's just kind of cool to have one at all.'

The entire time that was going on, and it went on for a long time for that entire process to go down, Izuku decided to become more familiar with his team. He hadn't met Nora before and it would be good to talk to her...

"So, this mourning, I had a big stack of pancakes. Like a Mountain sized stack. Like fifty fluffy, fluffy pancakes. With about five sticks of butters slathered on top of them all with a whole three gallons of syrup. It was the best breakfast ever. Or maybe this week. Yeah, just this week. Nothing like when Ren makes them. Probably didn't make the batter right, stirred it too long and knocked the lumps out of the batter before cooking. You have to leave some lumps in the batter, that's what makes them fluffy. But still, it was a good breakfast. I mean, it was definitely a big breakfast. Like, not huge or anything, but big. Probably weighed more than Ren. But yeah, mountain of pancakes. I thought I didn't have a chance to finish it, but damn it, I persevered. I just had to keep eating, and with every bite-"

… Or, at the very least, get a few words in between her very rapid fire sentences. It seemed as though that between the two of them, he'd definitely be the more 'listening' part of this pair. Still, Nora was exceedingly friendly and so long as he threw in a word or two she didn't seem to mind that Izuku didn't talk that much.

'This is actually pretty easy,' now that he thought about it, 'Nora does enough talking for two people, which means she doesn't need me to talk. That's going to make it a lot easier to get past my…,' he remembered the several times he freaked out about speaking with the fairer sex, 'issues.'

Though her range of topics could get a little mind boggling at times…

"-and then I reminded Ren, "Hey, in calculating what angle you need to hit that at Beowulf to send it over that branch, you have to use sine in your calculations, not cosine!""

When he talked to Weiss again... there was a sense of strain in the air. It was weird; he had thought that they had a pretty good relationship before this. They'd both talked a couple times and she seemed to be rather approving of his work ethic and how he had contributed to her discussion back in the locker room. Heck, out of everyone, while she seemed more stunned by his victory over the Giant Nevermore, she seemed nonetheless impressed. But now... he didn't know. There was something just beneath the surface here that he just wasn't getting. There was a tension to her own words as she spoke to him...

But she did speak to him. He could see her hesitate but she did answer his questions and even asked a couple questions herself. They're... not exactly 'getting to know you' better questions, they were more questions about his Semblance and why exactly it broke his arm to use it. He explained that he was actually pretty new to not just a Semblance but to Aura in general and, at first, she seemed surprised that he'd been here to begin with... but that surprise slowly turned too. Into a reluctant nod that, despite that, he had managed to pass Initiation. In the end, Weiss' questions about his Semblance did spark a wider discussion about everyone's capabilities on the team. All told it was a rather helpful discussion and it gave him an idea of just what Team MNVW was working with.

It was all a lot to take in but... still, he couldn't help but feel pretty happy with how everything turned out. By the sound of it, Izuku had a very solid team here... now all he had to do was not mess it up and be the best leader for them that he could be and they'd be golden. After today though, he felt up to that challenge.

'After all,' he thought, slowly entering into the dorm building where they would sleep the next four years, 'I've managed to make it into Beacon, to become a Huntsman-In-Training,' his confidence continued to swell, 'Ozpin had enough faith in me to make you a team leader, just as Toshinori had enough faith in you to make me his successor,' he looked back at his team, Nora and Weiss seemingly in a small spat, while Pyrrha noticed him and nodded with a small smile, 'Now I just have three more people that I need to prove that they could have their faith in me. That they can place their confidence in me!'

As they all made their way to their assigned dorm room, everyone looked just a bit bushed, even Nora. It had been a long, long day and everyone was probably looking forward to getting to their own little rooms, putting the last of their things away and just getting one good night's sleep before the start of the next day.

"Okay guys," Izuku casually unlocked the front door to their assigned number, "I want everyone to get a good rest tonight once they get settled in their rooms. We need to be ready for tomorrow."

"Of course"

"That sounds about right."

"No problemo!"

The door swung open.

"Wow, this is a big common room," he more or less began to simply just to think out loud for a bit, "It seems to have it all. Desks, drawers, chairs, beedddddsssss…"

He felt the sweat as it formed on his forehead.

'Four beds,' he turned his head to his side and saw the only door inside the room that was open, which from this angle has a sink in view, 'one bathroom,' he began to shake, 'no,' the situation slowly began to dawn on him, 'NO,' that yes, it did appear that the school grouped a mix of hormonal, emotionally-crazed, super powered co-ed teenagers, and forced them into one room together 'NOOOO!'

Of course, no amount of denial would kill the reality that, yes, Beacon Academy expected him to sleep in this room.

With three, very pretty and very strong girls.

He slowly turned your head as a red glow hit his cheeks and found that Weiss and Pyrrha had a similar shade of red on their own... Nora, however, just looked nonplussed as she walked into the room, dumped her stuff on a nearby counter and just fell flat onto a nearby bed, sighing in relief as she did so.

"You've got to be kidding me..." Weiss muttered under her breath as she rubbed at the bridge of her nose.

"What, do you guys not like twin beds or something?" Nora asked, her voice muffled by pillows as she wriggled around in the mattress to get comfortable.

Izuku, confidence thoroughly murdered by the whims of Ozpin's preferred student residency, tried his best to gain control of himself, and hopefully, the situation, 'Okay. Okay. So Beacon is shoving teams into one room to share and expecting them to just live with it,' Izuku's mind nearly came to a complete halt at the thought of sharing a room with three 'extremely' attractive girls, but he muscled through it, and managed to regain his sense of logic, 'I guess it does kind of make sense.'

'Even with the amount of focus Hunters now have in Urban areas dealing with crime and the White Fang when they make their attacks, it is still a profession that deals with going out into the wilds and dealing with Grimm.'

'Out in the wilds with no walls, no bathrooms, no comforts of modern life. Just the trees, the Grimm and whatever camping gear a team packs. Sure there might be tents but unless a team want to get picked off one by one by the Grimm, privacy isn't going to be the foremost concern. We all will probably be hanging closer than a lot of people. We'll be hunting and being hunted by Grimm, and that'll require some sacrifices in comfort. In that vein, I guess I can see the logic in breaking down those kinds of personal barriers early but in a relatively safe way; after all, while we all do share a bedroom, the bathroom is still closed off and we all still have our closets. There's plenty of room for things to be kept at least somewhat private, more so than there will be when you all start going off on missions…'

It was still embarrassing and it still made his face red but... well, there is a method to this. Still, that's just Izuku... he did have to convince three girls that he was not saying that just because he wanted to perv on them.

'Well... Ozpin picked ne to be leader of this team for a reason right?' he gulped, 'Might as well start trying.'

'Gods this is going to be awkward.'

"L-L-Listen..." He coughed into his fist slightly to try keep his stutter at bay. If he acted too embarrassed by this is might come off the wrong way... "I-I... I know that this is probably going to be pretty weird. Heck, this is the first time I'll be sharing a room with someone period, much less... you know, people of the opposite sex." Weiss and Pyrrha noded as they turn to face him, a suspicious look on the former's face and a curious look on the latter. "... But, well, we're going to be a team of Hunters from here on out. That means that we'll end up in pretty close proximity with each other from now on, especially when we go out for missions in the wild. I can stay in the bathroom while we all get changed and stuff but... well, Beacon's putting us up in a room like this for a reason. Maybe it's part of getting used to the eventual duties of being a Hunter?"

Weiss and Pyrrha's faces went a deeper shade of red by the time he was done and, for a moment, he thought the both of them might just turn or something. That's what happened in these kinds of situations right? Well, when they don't bite his head off or start hitting him for suggesting such a thing, he watched as both of their faces, while clearly still a little uncomfortable, turn toward the room with a thoughtful expression.

"... I suppose I've heard stories about these kinds of living conditions from my... from someone I know in the Atlesian Hunter Academy." Weiss brushed a strand of hair behind her ear as she looked in. "I just didn't imagine it'd be... this early..." Weiss crossed her arms over her chest as she looked in. She seemed apprehensive at best but, eventually, Pyrrha just nodded.

"Still, Izuku has a point. It's something we are going to have to get used to and, well, he's already suggested a way to make it comfortable. He'll do the right thing here... and there's no harm in at least getting ready for this kind of thing." Still, even as Pyrrha spoke, she stroked her arm a bit as she, Izuku and Weiss looked in.

"I really don't get what you guys are making a big deal out of. Renny and I used to sleep near each other all the time before... not like what you're thinking though. We're just friends." Nora muttered from her pillow as the three of you nodded. Eventually Weiss just sighed as she placed a hand to her face.

"Alright... I suppose we don't have much of a choice if Beacon's going to assign us like this." Izuku smiled a bit as he saw Weiss and Pyrrha nod determinedly, though Weiss turned over to look at him with a quirked eyebrow. "Do try to not look so pleased." he flinched a bit comically as the red burns up on your cheeks. Before you can even respond Weiss just shook her head and waves you off. "It's fine, I get it." With that Weiss just walked into the room. While Nora picked the nearest bed to the door, the second bed from the left side of the room, Weiss went to the furthest bed, one in the corner. It seemed that, even agreeing to this arrangement as she had, she was still looking to keep as much space between her and the lone male on the team as she could. Pyrrha agreed to take the bed next to Nora's which left Izuku with the other corner bed.

First things first, getting their things organized. Just because he was living on his own right now it didn't mean he could start living like a slob. Even more so considering that he was sharing a room with three girls. He started unpacking almost immediately and, upon doing so, Nora groaned as she turned her head over to him, looking at him in disbelief.

"Aren't you tiiiired? It's been a long day..." The orange haired girl, normally so exuberant and energetic, whined a bit as he looked over, slightly sheepishly.

"I know but... well, might as well get it done with now, right? We're probably going to be really busy dealing with classes and all that stuff tomorrow. This is probably going to be the best time for me to do this." Izuku saw Nora frown a bit in response to his logic... utterly sound though it may have been. Eventually the bubbly bomber sighed as she managed to kick herself up out of bed.

"... Yeah, if Ren were here that's probably what he'd say too... it'd give him more time to sleep in the morning. Fine, let's be responsible..." Despite her tone of voice he could tell that a little bit of kick returned to Nora's system once she'd managed to get out of bed. Weiss and Pyrrha nodded as they quickly followed his lead, plain approval on the latter's face while... odd mix of emotions seemed to be on the former's. Whenever he caught her looking at him without her noticing, he saw that it's almost as if she was scanning over him like a hawk, analyzing every little move he was making. When she caught the fact that he'd caught her, she seemed to have the decency to look sheepish before snapping her head away and getting back to organizing her own things.

Eventually Izuku managed to get down to his own personal effects at the end of his suitcase and, despite himself, he actually smile. When he was packing up for Beacon, you had imagined that he'd have his own room or living space even after being made part of a team. He knew he'd be homesick... after all, this was the furthest away he'd ever been from Mountain Glenn and it's been the longest he'd ever been away from his home, outside of little camping trips for practical exercises at his old Combat School.

So he brought a few mementos from home. A few books, his bed's comforter... posters of Toshinori. He blushed slightly as you think about what would happen if you ever actually let Toshinori see that you had these. How would he even react?

'You mean, he knows that I'm a fanboy of his, heck, he even signed a page in my Huntsman notebook with his signature before!,' he then looked down at the posters, the frayed edges showing their decade of existence. Still, these are just some of the things that reminded him of home. HE thought that putting them around the room or even hanging them up on the wall might be a good way of staving off homesickness.

He wasn't sure if it was such a good idea now that he was sharing a room with three girls though...

He took a bit of a breath as he grasped at the posters in your bag. Yeah, it's a little goofy and sure he was going to be putting these up in a room with three girls... but they reminded him of home. He was surprised by how much, even now, the homesickness was starting to hit him…

'It might be a good idea to call mom sometime in the next couple days,' now that he thought about it. But before that, he had organizing to do... and some permission to ask. Just because he found yourself 'willing' to put these up didn't mean that it would be right for him to just do so. He was sharing a room after all, no point in being rude and just putting them up without asking his teammates.

"Uh, guys?" He paused a bit as he turned around and looked at the girls, all of whom were putting away their clothes and such as they turned to look at him. "I actually brought a few posters and stuff from my old room back home. You know, something to make a place here at Beacon feel a little more... homey? Would you guys mind if I put it up?" It took a moment for the three to think it over and, unsurprisingly, Nora was the first one to respond.

"Why are you even asking? It's your corner, you can do whatever you want with it!" Nora responded with a bright smile as she nodded her head. Soon enough a thought seemed to cross her mind as she placed a finger to her chin, a small smile forming on her lips. "In fact... I'll be right back!" With that Nora quickly ran out of the room, leaving the door open behind her. From afar, they all can vaguely hear the cry of 'Reeeen, do you still have it?' from down the hall. Weiss sighed as she placed her head in her hands, shaking it a bit.

"Well if Nora's going to jump aboard this... fine. I don't see much of a point but I guess I can't stop you all." Weiss muttered as she continued to put her things away. Pyrrha just smiled as she turned back to Izuku and offered a nod.

"Go right ahead Izuku. I'm afraid I didn't bring much in the way of personal items with me either... perhaps I should call home sometime to see if something can be sent." Pyrrha vaguely muttered to herself as she continued to put things away. Having already put his clothes and everything more important than his personal stuff away, he reached into the bag and started pulling out a couple posters. A few sticky tacks later and there we go... two Toshinori Yagi posters hanging up on his wall, the visage of his mentor, idol and hero staring out. He know knew weird it might seem but... well, it did put him at some ease. This place was already starting to feel a bit like home.

Nora eventually walked back into the room, a smile on her face as she carefully placed a small object balanced on its head on her desk. Izuku might've been expecting something audacious and bombastic, befitting the rather larger than life and talkative young woman but instead what he ended up seeing balanced to carefully on the desk is far more simple. A little wooden hammer, a wide head balanced on a thin handle. The care with which Nora placed it down shows a great deal of love, a smile on Nora's face before she turned to see what Izuku had put up.

"Holy cow, you've got posters of Toshinori Yagi?" With that Pyrrha and Weiss' attention was brought over to Izuku's corner of the room and, indeed, they both seemed a bit surprised at the sight.

"Huh, I knew they made posters these days but I didn't figure people in the actual hunter track would buy them. Seems tacky if you ask me..." Weiss said with a bit of disinterest as he scratched the back of his head.

"Well... Toshinori's kind of my idol and hero. He's what inspired me to become a Huntsman in the first place... I've always thought that the coolest thing you could do was save people. I want people to see my smiling face and feel safe." he offered with a small nod of conviction as you speak. Weiss, at first, seems about ready to dismiss this, probably thinking of Izuku as just some fanboy, when Pyrrha spoke up after smiling.

"I suppose growing up in Mountain Glenn itself just makes that connection run all the deeper, correct?" Both Weiss and Nora paused as they both blink at Izuku wide-eyed. He just nervously nodded as the attention is brought back on you full-scale, sheepishly scratching the back of his head.

"I'm surprised you remember that, what with everything going on in The Emerald Forest." Indeed, to Izuku's memory, he only brought up the fact that he and Bakugou were from Mountain Glenn a couple times.

"Well, you are my partner," there was a small chuckle at the back of her throat, "And besides, you're the first person I really have known from there so it was something to latch on to a bit."

"That's... certainly something..." Weiss muttered under her breath as she looked away, Nora just nodding vigorously as she grins at you.

"Yeah, totally! Not everyday you actually meet someone from the City of The Symbol of Peace. Yeah, I'd totally nerd out over Toshinori too if I came from there! It's kinda cool actually; you grew up in a place that's only around because a Huntsman saved it and you got inspired to become a Huntsman! That's like... I dunno, what would you call it?"

"Poetic, appropriate?" Weiss offered a couple words as Nora just snapped her fingers before she reached over and wrapped an arm around Weiss' shoulders.

"Thanks partner! Poetic, I like the sound of that!"

"... Please get off me Nora."

"Nope."

With that, the rest of the organizing went off without much of a hitch. Nora seemed satisfied with her hammer, Pyrrha made a note to call home for her own personal items and... well, Weiss just seemed to be the odd one out. She didn't seem to begrudge anyone but... well.

'Her space is so... empty.'

"I still don't like this arrangement."

Pyrrha couldn't help but sigh at Weiss' continued argument, glad Izuku had just stepped into the shower. While she wasn't entirely comfortable with it either, she did understand it was something of a necessity and was willing to shoulder the matter. Now she just had to get Weiss to see that. "I know it's odd, but we need to trust our teammates. And I think a good first step is trusting us all in the same room at night."

"But he could be some kind of pervert! We don't really know anything about him at all!"

"Or each other, for that matter." Pyrrha countered with a small smile, drawing Weiss up short. Nora seemed amused at this back and forth debate, though the way she grinned gave the redhead a little courage to press her attack. "But you trust us because Nora and I are girls. I think if you give him a chance, he'll show you how downright gallant he can be."

This time the young heiress let out a brief chuff of laughter, shaking her head and looking to the bathroom. "Him? Gallant? I can't see green and skinny being knightly in the least."

"I dunno." Nora finally cut in, tapping the corner of her lip with a finger before a devious grin curled her lips. "Let's find out."

"What?"

"Huh?"

Rather then explain, Nora tipped back on her bed and brought the back of her hand up to her forehead, eyes closed as she nearly shouted. "Oh no! Izuku! Heeelp!" She wheeled, leaning back as she fake swooned, perched on her bed as the shower suddenly shut off. The other girls were transfixed by confusion and dawning horror when the door was suddenly thrown open, water still dripping from the young Midoriya's body wearing only a towel and a look of worry.

"Nora? I heard you call for help! Are you ok?" His head was practically on a swivel, examining the door, then the window, then turning his head back to the aforementioned Valkyrie for some explanation. She was oddly silent for a moment, looking him up and down before holding up several pieces of paper.

8.5/Ren

He blinked once, then twice, then looked to Nora in absolute confusion. "...is that a good thing?"

"Oh definitely! Second best in the school so far! Don'cha think so girls?"

"Oh my."

Now THAT got his attention, entire body going stock still as he turned his head to see that, why yes, Pyrrha and Weiss were openly gaping at him while red as Nikos' hair. He could feel his entire body just burn red. "S-S-Sorry!" He managed to stammer out before practically throwing himself into the bathroom again, door slamming shut hard enough to shake the entire wall.

"Ya see Weiss? He came right to the rescue." Nora preened. "And didn't seem all that skinny to me."

Pyrrha was apparently too busy with finally burying her face in her hands to respond, though the Schnee heiress finally snapped back to reality with a dainty cough and tried to ignore her blush as best she could. "Y-Yes, well that just proved he's an idiot. A gullible, stammering idiot with really nice abs." She snorted, staring at the ceiling. "But I suppose even an idiot can be gallant sometimes. Fine. He can stay."

"Yay! I'll go get 'em and tell him the good news!"

"M-Make sure he has on pants!"

"I promise nothing!"

"Oh my!"

"Okay Izuku, we've all changed, you can come out now."

Izuku took a long, shaky breath as his hand reached out for the door knob to the bathroom.

'Moment of truth.'

He stepped out from the bathroom, dressed in his casual sleeping wear; a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. He figured that he wore these out into the common area last night to sleep in and that went well enough, no point in trying to deviate from what worked there. Still, as he walked out, he was greeted with a sight that turned his face red. He'd already seen Pyrrha in her relatively simple sleep wear last night and the sight of Nora in a black t-shirt with 'boop' written on the front and pink shorts wasn't too much of a shock. Weiss Schnee with her hair drown and dressed in a sleeping gown while likewise a new sight wasn't even what made this feel so awkward all around.

It was that he'd be sleeping in close vicinity to all of them while they were dressed as such.

"Want to stop standing around and actually get ready for bed?" Weiss asked from her corner of the room, sounding a bit annoyed, as he snapped to attention.

"Oh, right, sorry!" Izuku went over to his own bed and started making it a bit, trying to distract himself with some mundane work in order to force his mind off of the situation. Still he came to find that he wasn't all that tired yet, or at least, not to the degree that he'd need to get ready for bed, and he wondered as to what he could do to pass the time till he was ready.

The first thing on his mind was Nora; while the two had talked about her capabilities and what she could bring to the team while they all were touring Beacon Academy, Izuku still didn't feel like he'd actually gotten to know Nora all that well. He knew what she was like and knew she liked to talk but beyond that it was a bit of a mystery. Nodding to himself he managed to steel his nerves as he walked over to Nora's bed, walking past Pyrrha who was combing out her hair, having undone it from her ponytail, as the bubbly bomber was just sitting down with some headphones on, relaxing.

As she spied him approaching he saw that she smiled and pulled her headphones down, giving Izuku a wide grin. "Hey there fearless leader. What's up?" Before he could even speak, he blinked a bit at Nora's nickname, tilting his head to the side.

"Fearless leader?"

"Yeah! Think about it; when Weiss and I saw that Giant Nevermore take to the sky, we just made a mad dash for the Ruins! Even when it was so far out from where we were, everyone was freaking out about what would happen if it came in the middle of the fight... well, not me, cause that would've been exciting, not Ren, cause he's a pretty calm sort of guy you know, and not that Bakugou guy. He just said he'd blow it up. But then we see the Nevermore go *pop* out of nowhere and then figure out that you just went up and punched it!" Nora waved her arms enthusiastically as she retold her group's half of the story, a wide grin on her face. "Sounds pretty fearless if you ask me!"

"H-Honestly? I-I was really freaked out at the time. I mean, I hadn't actually fought Grimm at all before entering the Emerald Forest, much less a Grimm of that size..." He took a bit of a breath to even himself out before he continued with. "But my plan had put Pyrrha in danger to that thing... she'd trusted in my ideas enough to put herself at risk and, in the end, she could've died. I wasn't fearless, I was scared the entire way going up to it... but I had to do something. It was my responsibility to clean up my mess."

Out of the corner of his eyes he spotted Pyrrha smiling softly as she listened in, her own green eyes craned over slightly to watch as he spoke to Nora. Neither of their eyes met and he didn't think she noticed and, before long, she went back to just combing out her hair. Weiss, similarly, was listening in, but with that hawkish expression that says she was analyzing him, as if picking apart his expression for... something. Maybe a hint of a lie? Either way, there's a drop in her expression after a moment before she turned back to face her own corner.

Nora on the other hand? Nora just grinned nice and wide as she shook her head.

"Sorry fearless leader, but that still sounds pretty fearless to me. You're just splitting hairs!" The way Nora said it made it sound like she wasn't going to allow any argument on the subject. Izuku sighed a bit as he shook his head; if Nora was just going to think what she wanted of this regardless, he supposed there wasn't any harm in just letting her. In the meantime, he just looked back at her. Izuku came over here for a reason after all.

"So Nora, you talk about that Ren guy a lot. You two know each other pretty well then?" He asked, a curious tilt to your head. He could vaguely hear Weiss mutter 'oh no' before Nora practically leapt forward onto the bed, sitting on her knees and looking him right in the face.

"Are you kidding? Ren and I are only, like, the best friends ever! We've known each other ever since we were little kids! We've seen a lot of the world together and even decided to become hunters together too! We know practically everything about each other and we always talk, like, always! Renny's also so cool too, like, I mean in the sense that he's chill but he's also cool in the sense that he's like one of the coolest people you'll ever meet. Not to mention how great he is at so much stuff like cooking and camping and killing Grimm and stuff! He always takes care of things too like I knew that if I didn't know where Magnhild was then Ren would always know and sure he might be a little put off for a bit that I forgot but then he'll just smile and hand it over because that's just Ren and he's amazing and fantastic and just the bestest best friend you could ever hope for! Sure we aren't on the same team now and not partners but we're still in the same school and just down the hall from each other so I'll always be able to see him so we can keep being together forever...

But you know, not like, together-together or anything cause it's totally not like that, we're just friends, but it's not like that I don't see how people could see him like that, heck I only gave you an 8.5 out of Ren Izuku because while you do got some stuff going for you, like seriously nice abs, you're still only second to Ren, not that I'm attracted to him like that or anything, whatever would give you that idea and whatever gave you that idea you need to tell that thing no because Ren and I are just the best of friends. Do you understand?"

"... Yeah, I totally understand Nora." Izuku didn't, he absolutely didn't, but he grasped enough that he could pick up on a few details. Nora and Ren knew each other for a long time and they've been around each other for roughly the entire time they knew each other. They were good friends... he thinks and Nora, while obviously aware that she wasn't on his team or his partner, didn't seem all too put off because they were in the same building. Which was good; it would've stunk if Nora were to feel bad because she wasn't around her oldest friend... or, 'friend' or just friend?

Yeah he was confused. Not helping matters was the fact that Nora, in her spiel, had gotten so close that their noses were inches apart from touching. He gulped as he tried to get used to his personal space being so… intruded upon.

"Uhhh, Nora? Could you back up a bit?" Nora Valkyrie didn't even seem to flinch as she noticed, giving a small 'oh' as she nodded.

"Sorry about that fearless leader, just got a little excited I guess." She offered a slight chuckle as she backs back off onto her bed. He just nodded slightly, his face red, as he walked off for a bit. Well that was all pretty nice to know...

'Now I just need to NOT to go back into the bathroom to splash some cold water on my face,' he shook his head, trying to force himself back into control.

As he finished speaking with Nora, he looked over his shoulder and saw that Weiss was still up. She's brushing her hair at the moment but... she seemed distracted. Deep in thought, Izuku'd even say. He looked down to the side as you frown... ever since the ceremony, he had thought that there had been something on Weiss' mind. It was hard to tell, he wasn't exactly good with people, but... it made things a bit strained between the two of them. He was not sure what exactly it was all about but... well, he considered Weiss as someone who was pretty nice when you get to know her. They had had two pretty decent conversations and, once she realized he weren't trying to cozy up to her because she was a Schnee, she even seemed a bit open. There was still that sense of that there but... well, it was muddied now. It wasn't as clear as it used to be, even with how he had performed during Initiation. He took a bit of a deep breath as he walked over toward her bed, getting her attention.

Her eyes were slightly narrowed as she looked Izuku over, as if trying to get a read on him before he even spoke. Still, there was a slight slump to her shoulders as she sighed, placing the brush down at her side.

"Yes... Izuku. Is there something you need?"

"I-I was just thinking... we know everyone's capabilities now, so maybe... tomorrow we could try to figure out some kind of plan? For the team?" Weiss stopped brushing her hair for a moment as Izuku spoke, almost as if stunned into surprise at this having been brought up.

"What?" She asked, turning her head to look at Izuku as he just nodded nervously, scratching at the back of his neck.

"Yeah... I was thinking that since we're all a team now, we should probably figure out some kind of plan for working together, right? Maybe some training and stuff to see how well our abilities mesh? What sort of ways we can combine our talents? I mean, obviously not all the time, we all probably have our own stuff we want to work on, socializing and, you know, studying and stuff but... well I thought it sounded like a good idea. For example, I really don't know that much about Dust and you do... but I figured with the way Nora's Semblance worked... I dunno, maybe you could combo it with Lightning Dust or something?"

Weiss just paused as she looked Izuku over. There was still that look of disbelief on her face, but... eventually, her expression dropped as she nodded.

"Yes... that does sound like a good idea. Brushing up on what we can do as a team would help our performance and raise us in the ranks here... not to mention how it would help us when we do eventually encounter Grimm. I think that sounds... like an acceptable thing to discuss tomorrow. It's a little late now." Weiss brushed out her hair a couple times as she thought. "As for that... I don't know what to think about super-charging Nora anymore than I've already seen her but... well, it does sound effective..." Weiss said to herself as she continued to brush her hair. "We can discuss all of this tomorrow though. It is rather late, don't you agree?" Izuku nodded his head in agreement with her, finally yawning. It seemed like exhaustion had just now caught up with him, though that had been the hope when he decided on a few things to burn time.

"Alright, night Weiss. Night everyone." He got a few goodnights as he turned back to his bed. As he turned he swore he saw Weiss almost open her mouth to speak again, though when he turned more fully he saw her mouth firmly closed as she finished out brushing her hair. Turning back forward Nora gave Izuku an... odd smile and a nod as she slumped over onto her side and practically fell right asleep. Pyrrha was already in bed and sleeping pretty peacefully herself. Yeah... sleep sounded great right then.

He made sure to set his alarm and, before his head even hit the pillow, he was pretty much fast asleep.

E/N: In this chapter we have a delightful piece by Preventer Squall titled "An Indecent Knight". I would point it out, but the title should give it away. Something I will point out is that it is both the story's and the quest's first Outtake. Well technically it's the second since all of the Partner introduction scenes you saw were technically an Outtake, but since the Author wrote it, I'm not counting it. Except I do count it as the first Outtake in my spreadsheet but... yea.

"An Indecent Knight" was a mark of things to come. Gorilla_Fingers read it, congratulated Squall on it, and then offered to make it canon, or get a stat increase for Izuku. After agreeing to make it canon, the thread began to light up with a bunch of other writers making snippets to help try and expand the story beyond Izuku. Some will be sad, some serious, and quite a few will be pretty dang funny.

A/N: Indeed. I hadn't really expected An Indecent Knight but, ye Gods, was I excited to see it once I realized what had just happened. I was more than happy to reward someone for their hard work and, given that it was such a fun addition, making it canon just seemed like a breeze to me.

On a different note, given all the people bringing it up, I figured I'd go ahead and shoot down the idea of Izuku getting a harem before you guys get too ahead of yourself; that isn't going to happen. Hope those of you who really wanted a harem will stick with the story regardless but if not... with, c'est la vie.
