"Ouch, Ouch, Ouch! Rachel!" My ear is in pain as my sister drags me away from a reporter interviewing about All Might being a teacher. She drags me all away from the main entrance to the second floor, right outside the classroom. "Rachel, stop we're here, please stop pulling my ear!"
She finally let go. I used my phone's camera in selfie mode to check my ear. I know that I'm being over dramatic, but pulling my ear hurt like hell.
"There is no blood, you big baby." Rachel pouts looking annoyed. "Seriously, you didn't have to answer that reporter's dumb question.
"Dumb, how the hell was that dumb? She was asking about All Might being a teacher." I yelled back after the ear-pulling. Damn it, it still hurts.
"That's the thing, those reporters' were nothing more but paparazzi, Also they're harassing underage students, preventing students to enter the school. Thank X-hal we didn't end up being molested."
I wanted to defend myself, by explaining my interview question to my sister. "Well, that is a good thing that we didn't get molested. Though, if I chance to answer that reporter's question it would be."
"Oh geez, here we go." She rolled her eyes.
'Rachel, stop pushing my buttons!'
I took a deep exhale. "I would have said to the reporter. Every day with him is a reminder that I'm enrolled in this preeminent educational institution. Beyond his–"
"Woah, that's your interview, Geez, here I thought you were going to ask that babe's number, she was hot." I was interrupted when I heard the voice of my friend.
It was Denki, and he was eating toast.
'Wait, did he run to school with a toast in his mouth, he is such an Outaku.' I thought.
"Seriously, Tenya that's a bad interview. You do know those reporters work for E-News." Denki said. "No offense they want to know about All Might's sex life, or who is he dating."
My jaws drop feeling my pride goes sour. "I had no clue they're paparazzi?" I asked.
Denki finishes his toast. "Anyways, I saw Izuku and Ochaco back in the main entrance, I think Mr. Aizawa and Present Mic are helping the student to enter the classroom, speaking off we should head in."
Denki is right, I don't want to mess up my permanent record.
A little while later. As we sat down to our seats, there was barely anyone in the classroom. There was only Todoroki when we entered. The rest were probably outside, still getting their interview questions done.
Classes were about to start, I had a feeling that it won't be just 1A getting a late start to the class. Perhaps all the classes would start late.
No thanks to the paparazzi.
Moments later. One by one our classmates entered the classroom, they were a mess as we were.
Yaoyorozu's ponytail was undone, and her hair was a mess.
Sero was a sweaty mess, he is covered in sweat like a sinner in church.
Tokoyami's shirt buttons were undone, and we could see a glimpse of his chisel chest. Also, I swear I think I heard Asui saying 'ribbit' the moment Tokoyami walked in.
Finally class could start as Aizawa finally came in. "Sorry for the late class, students. Present Mic, Miss M, and I took as long to make sure that the students got into school safely," said Aizawa.
Ashido raise her hand, "Is that why the first period was moved to the second period?" she asked. "There are like 30 minutes left before lunch break."
Aizawa sighs as he answers her back. "Sadly so. The paparazzi still outside demanding an interview with All Might. I swear that big buffoon is marked absent…" He pause as he took some sheets of paper to read. "Anyway, after the lunch break. The heroes Thirteen, All Might, and I are going to be in charge of today's Hero basics 101. This afternoon we're going to focus on rescue training."
Many of my classmates cheered toward this afternoon's hero basics 101 class, heck, I'm excited as hell as my class is, I can even hear Denki cheering along.
"Rescue, huh… Sounds like another rough day, ahead." Denki said excitedly.
"Right, this is so cool!" Ashido said excitedly too.
"Come on, this is what being a hero's all about! I'm pumped!" Kirishima said pumped up.
"I'll be right at home in a flood rescue exercise. Ribbit." Asui said.
"This is so awesome, aren't you excited too, Rachel?" Ochaco asked my sister.
Knowing my sister it's hard to tell sometimes if she is excited by the idea of this afternoon's exercise, but I know when she is honest. My sister put her book down and answer Ochaco. "Well, I am looking forward to the exercise, but I try not to be excited."
Ochaco frowned, at my sister's answer. I know my sister's answer was… well, encrypted is the best word I could describe. I wonder when will my friends figure out that my sister cannot express emotions, to control her quirk.
There is no day passed by, I wish my sister was allowed to feel her own emotions. If it wasn't for that blasted quirk. I think my sister can truly be happy.
I sometimes wonder what Izuku and Ochaco truly think of my sister. I know She and Denki get along like two peas in a pod, but Izuku and Ochaco are at odds with Rachel.
'That or that's just in my head?' I thought to myself.
I hope they do get along like a couple of BFFs one day.
Now focus on the present and just listen to Mr. Aizawa in what he got to say in the next couple of minutes left of class.
"Before class ends." Aizawa started his lecture as he sat down at his desk. "I'm here to discuss All Might's report regarding your performance from yesterday's battle training. Because it was everyone's first time I didn't expect my students to be Pro Heroes immediately, you're still all diamond in the rough, after all."
That seems fair, I have a feeling my battle training with Bakugo, Izuku, and Ochaco won't be one of the best. Plus, All Might ended our match toward the stupid this that Bakugo was about to do.
It was All Might who ended the fight right?
I wasn't there when he ended the exercise, I do think it was him.
"Alright, starting from best to worst," Aizawa said. "I honestly have to say, this is not an easy decision. There were only three best battle trials and I chose the battle trial with, Shoto Todoroki, Mezo Shoji, Toru Hakegure, and Ojiro Mashiro."
I notice Todoroki game a small smile, while the villain team hides their faces.
"Shoji, I know you didn't do much to, but don't let this exercise bring you down, because you, your partner trapped the villain team, and didn't destroy the false nuke. I say you did a good job. As they say in cooking, less is more." Shoji just nodded, while Aizawa turned to his attention Mashirao and Hakegure. "Mashirao and Hakegure, don't let this defeat bring you down. The odds were just not in your favor. Even if the situation was reversed, I don't think you two would win. Though I give the two of you a passing grade. You two put your head in the game and were focused on the task."
The two sighed in relief, and Aizawa turned his attention to Todoroki.
"Lastly, for this group. I want to say Todoroki, I grade your performance what it deserves, an A plus. For a Hero-In-Training and a recommendation student. You pass with flying colors." Todoroki felt proud. "I guess that's what I could expect from the son of Endeavor."
Todoroki's face turned to a look of disgust, I wonder why?
"Now, the next group."
A Few minutes later.
Aizawa went to explain everyone's battle trials.
The second to the best went with Kirishima, Sero, Yaoyorozu, and Mineta. I had a feeling they had the second-best trial. The Hero team both got an A plus for their performance. Too bad for Yaoyarozu. She and Mineta had a strong scolding from about of them, True, Yaoyarozu had her head on the task, but she didn't instruct her partner to do the same thing, even if Mineta wasn't her partner. She shouldn't expect her partner to be exactly just like her. As for Mineta… Well, what was there even to explain?
Aizawa explains that Mineta should have his brain take the lead, rather than his male anatomy. If he can have all that attention for the sake of his sex drive, he can do the same with heroics.
If Mineta was my partner, I should take Aizawa's advice that he gave to Yaoyorozu. UA High is not like Somie Academy or Moira Queen Junior High.
Being open-minded can be a go trait in the years to come here at UA.
Aizawa mention that their trial was handled great on both sides. Both sides had a great plan, however, Tokoyami's plans were more clever.
My sister and Denki planned to defeat Asui first before fighting Tokoyami, preventing a 3 versus 2 fight. The problem was they brought Asui with her to find the bomb, which was a trap.
I was in the villain team and it did read in the paper. As the villain, I can free my partner if She/He was captured by the hero team.
I assume the Hero Team doesn't know that trait for our roles.
Yesterday we never got an agreement on who should get the MVP, Aizawa mentioned that Tokoyami should have gotten the MVP grade. I cannot argue, my sister's plan was good, but Tokoyami's plan was better. He did set a trap for Rachel and Denki.
Lastly, Aizawa ends up my battle exercise with Bakugo, against Izuku and Ochaco.
Ochaco and Myself had the less lecture, however, Ochaco has been told to take the exercises seriously, like it was the real thing. Villain wouldn't care if they're funny looking or not. You'll never know you might deal with a knife-wielding psychopath, like in the documentary about Victor Zsasz.
'I still find it odd they cast Evan Peters as Zsasz, right after the Jeffery Dahmer Story.' I thought.
"Bakugo, grow up already. You are a talented young man, don't waste it with your childish endeavors." Aizawa said.
I heard Bakugo growl. Which is odd, with out sitting arrangement he is quite loud. As Bakugo answered our teacher. "Got it."
"Midoriya, learn to control your quirk. As I said, don't expect to be rescued every time you break your bones. I swear, if you don't control your quirk, there are students in General Studies who would want to take your spot…" Aizawa said, making Izuku gulp, and Bakugo chuckle. Aizawa turned his eyes red and his hair rose. "That goes to you to Bakugo, if you don't grow up. I will transfer you to the General studies. That goes to the rest of you. If my students don't shape up, you all can easily get replaced or expelled."
We all gulped. "Yes sir."
'Geez, this threat about being replaced or being expelled doesn't sound like a bluff to me. I have known Shota since I was 6, he was close with Tensei, and he helped Rachel and me with homework once upon a time ago. Knowing him, this threat is more like a promise. I do worry if I was the one to be replaced, despite our history together. Shota has changed a lot ever since Shirakumo. Rachel has no clue what Shota was like'
'But I did.'
'Tensei, Shota, Oboro, Hizashi, and Nemuri' friendship was like my friendship with Rachel, Izuku, Ochaco, and Denki. They just happened to be the original Titans. When Oboro Shirakuma died. Their Titans changed and they were never the same teens when he died.'
Tensei wouldn't admit it, but, since Oboro died. Shota became more serious when it comes to life. He only let his shield down when he wants to bring in his friends.'
'Now, seeing him more. Now as my teacher, he wants to take the Hero Course seriously, but the thing is and I admit, we're still kids. The rest of my classmates will never know what Aizawa went through during his second year of Work Studies.'
'I pray to X-Hal, I hope my work studies won't be as fucked up as much as Aizawa went through.'
'Though the threat is still in the air, and he threatened Izuku twice already, due to his glass cannon quirk. There must be something I can do to help prevent Izuku to be at the top of Aizawa's replacement list. Let's face it, he isn't wrong, many students in General Studies would want to be in 1A and 1B. Rachel and I honestly want our friend Hitoshi to be part of our class, even if it means saying goodbye to another classmate.'
This year's Sports Festival is coming up, and if there was any chance that Hitoshi or someone else caught the eyes of Eraserhead or Miss M. I hope they won't replace Izuku with any of them.'
'Here's a thought. Maybe in the upcoming Sports Festival, I can teach Izuku shoot style, I know he won't master it any time soon. It's better than simply breaking his bone to gain attention… It would also lessen his chances of being replaced… I should ask help from my fellow Teen Titans.'
"Before that school bell starts ringing. There is something important that we need to discuss." Aizawa spoke, shaking me out of my thoughts. Whatever this discussion is, I guess it might be necessary."You'll need to pick a class president, to represent class 1A."
WOAH, SUCH A NORMAL SCHOOL THING!
Normal school thing, Perhaps, in ordinary high schools or general studies, but in the Hero course. The role of the Class president is more than simply providing leadership to class officers and class members because, in the Hero Course, it is the steps of a good leader.
Tensei was class president during his three years at UA, which molded him into a great leader to other Heroes when a crisis happened, he always stepped up when he had to lead new heroes to the job, and he's a great leader to his sidekicks in the agency.
A role that I took seriously over the years since I want to follow in Tensei's footsteps, this role is meant for someone like myself.
I'm sorry my classmates, I hear many of you want the role, but this role is too important to be chosen by chance, it has to be settled in more reasonable actions.
By having the people choose who they want their class president, in the best way I know how. "Listen, everyone, please quiet down!"
"Yo, guys my bro, Tenya has something to say!"
I smiled as I thanked my friend. "Thank you, Denki, now, the position of class president shouldn't be chosen by random chance. I believe the best way to find our class president is by having an election."
I can see that my classmates weren't sure about my idea, but I still stand by it.
"Woah is that a good idea, it's only been like less than two days, and we don't know each other that well," Mineta said leaving out a very good point.
"It sounds like you just want the role, Tenya?" Ashido said cheekily.
I sigh, I do want the role, but I chose this idea and I should stand by it. "I know, it's only been less than two days, but the role of the class president also means you're putting trust in that person. So whoever this president is, that means as a class, as a whole. We not just like the individual, but we also trust this individual. I trust everyone to vote, and I do see the chances that everyone would end up voting for themselves, but in case there are more votes than the others, I think we know who that president is."
I think my plan worked, and oh, they are ripping pieces of paper and taking out their pencil.
This is great, my election idea worked like a charm, now, my biggest question is, who should I vote for?
I know, the most obvious part is that I should vote for myself. I do want the role of president, but if I end up voting for myself, I would feel like a hypocrite, after my great speech about trust.
No, I shouldn't vote for myself, rather vote for the one I trust the most.
Though, Mineta isn't wrong. Voting for someone you barely know is hard. Is like playing that, went, eeny, meeny miney, moe game that kids like to do in games like the monkey in the middle.
Though unlike Mineta I do know people, such as my friends, and I trust them.
'Well, trust them enough to share the bill, when we go to eat at Pizza Buddy, of course.'
Who to start?
What about Izuku?
Izuku is such a great friend, even on the first day of school. I do trust him, though, he can be a very nervous guy, and the role of Class president requires him to communicate with students with confidence.
And I do mean every student, Including his rival… Now that I'm thinking of it, I guess Izuku isn't ready for this enormous responsibility. Giving him a push of confidence is one thing, but making him class president is another.
If I push him to be president, it is like I trapped him in a speeding car, and with him is a howling ashed-blond monkey in the driver's seat, high on cocaine, and his ego. Also, I think Izuku won't trust me anymore if I keep pushing him to be president or continue being friends with me.
What about Ochaco?
She is a nice cute girl and a social butterfly. Though at this point, I don't know her that much. Voting for her may not be the best idea. True, there are traits and qualities that I don't know about Ochaco, but figuring out what those traits are can wait. What the class needs is a class president now.
I'm sorry Ochaco, but I am not giving you my vote.
There are the recommended students, Todoroki and Yaoyarozu. Then again, being recommended doesn't change anything. Those two are still strangers to me.
What about Denki?
Denki has been a good friend since the start, he seems he can get along with almost everyone. Just like Ochaco, he too is a social butterfly. He is been such a good friend to my sister, and I say Rachel has a point. I bet he and Hitoshi would get along, like their peanut butter, and jelly.
I think Denki would be a great class president if given a chance.
Though besides Denki, I have another candidate to vote for, that being sister, Rachel.
Unlike the others, I know Rachel much longer, and she would be a better class president. She knows not to have her emotions take the lead, rather her actions and solutions come to her mind.
I sound biased because she's my sister, but not at all. I'm being very logical towards my choice. True, she'll not like the idea of being class president, but she is very capable of the role. She is much more mature than me, she is more patient and empathic. She stands up for what's right ever since the whole Yumi Ono incident, she grew up into a young, strong, beautiful young woman.
I admit I have many doubts that there is a chance I won't win this election, but I can only hope that Rachel becomes class president.
Alright, I know who to vote for. As I wrote my sister's full name in my paper, and submit it to Aizawa.
Rachel's Pov.
Cafeteria, Lunch Period.
The class got dismissed.
I wouldn't call what we had today a class. We just sat down for thirty minutes and had that stupid election to be Class president.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I thank the paparazzi for delaying today's first and second periods. Thanks to the fiasco, I got a lot of reading done, and Denki got a lot more sleep on his desk.
Speaking of, Denki and I just got our food from the line-up, Ochaco was right, the food is super cheap, the serving is a lot and it was good. I guess that's the perk of having a Pro hero, to be the UA's official lunch lady.
Denki's food tray was more American. Cheeseburger and fries, while I have more Japanese in my food tray, I got chicken curry and white rice.
If only the Pro Hero serves waffles that would be amazing. Evil beware, UA has waffles.
I notice our friends finding a table, but I see a notice that Denki is heading somewhere else. "Denki, where are you heading?"
He turned around and his eyes widened like a light bulb just turned on above his head. "Oh I forgot to tell you guys, yesterday Izuku and I went to the supported studio."
Izuku stood up and brought his tray. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot," he said. "We promise the girls that we plan to return to help them get measurements with Denki's support item."
Umm. That got me by surprise. I recall that Izuku said something about helping Denki get his support item, but I had no clue it had already begun. Then again, I barely know Izuku. I had no clue that he is that dedicated to this idea of his. I guess helping friends in heroics make him motivated, sounds like he does it with heart. I guess he is more than a hero fanboy.
If I didn't stop his battle trial and his fight with Bakugo, I might have seen a different side of Midoriya that I didn't know before.
"Alright, I get Denki has to go to the supported studio for his measurements… I don't understand why are you coming with him Izuku." I change my tone to more of a teasing one. "Let me guess, you're going to try your luck with the two girls at the studio."
Surprisingly enough, he didn't go all flustered or blushing red. Instead, he stayed calm."It's not what you think. I had fun yesterday talking to Felicity and Karen, I would like to get to know them a lot more. Who knows, maybe they have quirks suited for making support gear?"
Uh, I was expecting a different response. I thought Izuku could have a playboy type of trait, or Player is the word that I was looking for. You know, a similar trait to Denki's flirtatious manner.
Then again, Denki too didn't feel flustered by my teasing.
I guess this 'Felicity and Karen' sounds awesome.
Though, I can meet them a bit later. I don't want to eat at a place like the supported studio. I would imagine motor oil and other Goo that I'm not familiar with. I guess it just going to be Ochaco, Tenya and I will enjoy our lunch together without the dynamic duo.
Before I got the chance to sit down, Tenya stood up with his tray in hand. "Hold on, I would like to come too. I am honestly curious to see the supported studio myself."
Of course, Tenya would like to see the support course. Ever since he got his quirk, he gain an interest in cars and their engineering. It makes sense he has engines on his legs
"Cool the more the merrier, girls would you two like to come?" Denki asks us, girls.
I already made up my mind, I'm not eating near black oil and other goo. "We'll meet up with you guys, I just want to finish our lunches."
"Cool. see you then."
Ochaco's Pov.
Woah, m'kay then.
This is awkward, this is the first time that Rachel and I were left alone together. Ever since we met, we girls never just had a conversation just the two of us.
Also, I have this weird feeling that she doesn't like me at all.
Maybe it's just in my head, or this is just me feeling insecure?
Between Rachel and me, she seems like the coolest girl in 1A, more than the other girls like Ashdo or Jiro.
I might be the social butterfly but compared to Rachel, I'm a dork.
I don't dislike her, and she may not dislike me, but I want Rachel and me to be friends. Even without the boys, we are the Teen Titans and everyone within the titans is friends.
Who knows we can end up becoming best friends forever!
"So, umm Rachel what do you think of the upcoming rescue training?" I asked. I know, I already asked this question earlier, but it won't hurt to try again.
Rachel pause from eating as she stared at me. "To be honest, I'm not excited or pumped up like most of our class. To be fair it is only been the first week, who knows I might enjoy our rescue class."
I have to admit that is a fair answer. I'm excited because I'm aiming to be a rescue hero. Perhaps Rachel prepares to be in the spotlight like All Might or Mirko, though that is hard to believe she doesn't seem like the type of girl who likes the spotlight and making heroic big speeches.
Perhaps, I can ask?
Before I could, Rachel went and asked me. "So, Ochaco, have you ever had a boyfriend before UA?"
I froze at her question. Like woah, I didn't expect her to ask me that. I wonder why is she asking. "Umm, no, I never had a boyfriend before?" I blushed, saying the word boyfriend always makes me turn red.
"To be honest, I'm a bit surprised I thought a pretty girl like you would have a boyfriend or at least a few love confessions?"
Is she insulting me, or is this her version of small talk?
Maybe if I answer her question it could lead to a conversation. True, the question is embarrassing but It could be worst. "Nope, not even a love confession." Well, she didn't react in any way. She probably let her walls down, now it's my turn to ask. "What about you Rachel, have you ever had a boyfriend?"
I continued. "You're a pretty girl yourself, dip-dye hair, and plenty of the boys liked your legs. I'm sure plenty of boys had your eyes on you back in Junior High?"
I was expecting a blush, a smile, or anything that shows an emotional facial expression, positive or negative.
That wasn't the case.
She remained emotionless. Like none that I said matters. I thought I brought down her walls, but I think I might have made her walls stronger.
I am honestly not sure what am I doing wrong. Making friends with the other girls was easy. Rachel seems like she doesn't want anyone to penetrate her walls. Through that's not true. She is very close with her brother and Denki.
Maybe I can ask Denki for advice, I cannot ask Tenya, it would be too awkward. Their siblings and I might say something about his sister that I might regret.
I should had join the boys at the supported studio, but after my attempts in making friends with Rachel. I lost the mood to join them. I bet they're having fun.
I bet they're using this time to flirt, it's the supported studio after all. I'm expecting them to use the environment and talk about cars and show how manly they are.
*Ring, Ring.*
Great, the lunch period has ended. I guess I'll meet them back in the classroom.
A few moments ago.
Rachel's pov.
"What about you Rachel, have you ever had a boyfriend?"
"You're a pretty girl yourself, dip-dye hair, and plenty of the boys liked your legs. I'm sure plenty of boys had your eyes on you back in Junior High?"
Those were Ochaco's questions and I just froze like a dummy.
I think I once again disappoint Ochaco, and I suck.
I was never good at making friends, let alone having a conversation that can last more than a few words.
Ochaco is trying very hard to be friends with me, while I froze like a deer in headlights. Yeah, I made friends before with Hitoshi, Kori, Yumi, and Denki, but they're the ones extroverts while I'm the introvert who struggles with socializing. That is why on the day of orientation I rather read a book and make new friends. It was Denki who let down my walls and socialized with one another.
I wish I could join the boys when they're heading to the supported studio, at least within a group, I can let down my wall just a bit.
*Ring* *Ring*
Damn it, lunch has ended.
I promise next time I can have a fun conversation with Ochaco. Tensei did say making friends with someone new is like testing the waters of the pool. I should avoid cannonballing because I end up making awkward questions. Like seriously, asking if she has had any boyfriends before. That was just a lame and awkward question.
I guess, we'll just meet up in the classroom so we can get ready for the rescue exercise.
Moments later in Classroom 1A.
I feel like there is a gray cloud hovering above me, while there was sunlight raining down my brother's smiling face. While we stood in front of our classmates, due to the results of this morning's vote.
"Alright, our class president is Tenya Iida with four votes, and our vice president is Rachel Iida with two votes." Even with Aizawa announcing the results Tenya's smile went brighter, while I stood there with disinterest.
"Wooo! Iida siblings!"
"Wooo, Rachel and Tenya we believe in you!"
I gave a small smile. Even though I didn't want this position at all, I don't want to let down the people who voted for me. Hearing my friends cheer I have a strong feeling they're the ones who voted.
"WHO THE HELL DIDN'T VOTE FOR ME? I'LL KILL YOU!" Bakugo yelled in fury, while I rolled my eyes at his temper tantrum.
There was a snicker of laughter from a few. "Seriously, giving death threats to get votes, is not a good look for the role class president."
"I agree with Sero if you end up as class president. You'll be representing the whole class. I can see other class thinking that Class 1A are a bunch of Bakugo clones, Loud and Angry." Jiro said, and she does have a good point.
"Thank god, we didn't vote for Mineta, because it would be a lot worst if outside our class think Class 1A are a bunch of perverts can imagine everyone one of us, a pervert?" Ojiro said.
I shiver towards the thought itself, I can't imagine anyone of us as perverts. We won't even be a classroom, we would be the closest thing to a sexually deviant group.
X-Hal, please prevent that from ever happening.
Todoroki stood up and spoke. "I voted for Iida T." That caught my brother and me by surprise. "I know we're not close or anything, but during our conversation, yesterday while watching the others have their battle trail. I see that you're smart with great judgment. That to me is a trait of a good leader and the right role for Class President."
Woah. That was a great speech from Todoroki, and that made my brother very happy.
Tenya bowed. "Thank you for your vote Todoroki, but I just want to say thank you to the rest who voted for me, and I promise to be a great class president." He said. "Now, First things first, as Aizawa mentioned we have rescue training."
Aizawa spoke back. "The class president is right, You are allowed to wear your Hero costumes or wear the UA PE uniform. Well, be taking the school bus, our training ground is located not too far from outside UA." he turned his attention to us. "Now Iida siblings, I trust you both to make sure everyone gets inside the bus. Understood?"
"Yes, Mr. Aizawa." We said in unison. However, Tenya had more pride and excitement in his tone, while I was in my usual tone, with a pinch of boredom. I honestly didn't want this position, then again, two votes didn't just come from nowhere. Whoever they are I don't want to let them down. I'll try my best to be a vice president of Class 1A.
"Here you go sis, your suitcase with you're Hero Costume in it," Tenya said. I'm glad that he gave me my suitcase.
"Thanks, I guess you have a plan for your first day as Class president?" I asked him.
He smiled. "Well, of course, I do promise that I'll be fair president. I already picture it now, my format plan, once the school bus arrives I would assign everyone to be seated in alphabet order by last name. Ooooohhh I can feel the tingle."
I rolled my eyes, 'Yeah, no one would like that.'
A few minutes later, on their way to USJ.
Tenya has his head down in disappointment. Ever since he saw the format of the bus structure his plan crumble as everyone chose their seat.
Here am I now, sitting next to Denki, the pink girl Ashido, and next to Denki was Todoroki. Across from me were my brother, Ochaco, Izuku, and Asui.
I have to admit it was nice to see everyone wearing their uniform. Well, almost everyone, Izuku's lost his hoodie from Bakugo's attack yesterday. He requests repairs, so among everyone, he is the only one who wears the PE uniform.
"Well, this is a disappointment," Tenya said, Ochaco just pats his back.
"Well, it's just the bus format Tenya it's nothing to cry about," Ochaco said trying to cheer him up.
I notice something different about Denki, around his waist it seems like a utility belt, and is that? "Denki is that a slingshot?" I asked unsure what I was looking for.
Denki perks up. "Oh, this." He show me the object and it was a slingshot. "While you and Ochaco stay at the cafeteria. Tenya, Izuku, and I went to the support studio."
"Oh yeah, you're supposed to get your measurements for the utility belt from the girls–"
"YOU THREE WERE HANGING WITH BABES IN THE SUPPORT STUDIO!" Sadly Ochaco didn't finish because Mineta interrupted and jump towards Denki and shakes madly. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU SON OF BITCH!"
"Ahh, Please get off me, Mineta!" Denki and I panicked.
"MINETA, GET OFF DENKI AT ONCE, WE'RE IN A MOVING BUS X-HAL'S SAKE!" My brother tries to reason with Mineta, but the little grape pervert just hisses at him like a feral beast.
Mr. Aizawa went to rescue Denki with his capture scarf capturing Denki." That's enough Mineta, for the whole ride you'll be riding next to me."
"Can he be tied up outside the bus Mr. Aizawa?!" Denki asks rubbing his neck.
"That can be arranged once we leave the USJ."
"Get off me, you elderly virgin– Mineta wasn't able to continue he was gagged by Aizawa's scarf.
I went to check on Denki hoping he is fine. As the chaos that Mineta created, I notice Asui going to talk to Izuku. "Midoriya, I am someone who generally says what's on my mind." She said. "Is it just me, or is your quirk resembles All Might's quirk."
Uh, now thinking about it. Izuku's quirk does remind me of All Might's quirk back at the ball toss. Also, I notice Izuku's emotions change to yellow, the color of fear. What would he be afraid of?
"Nah, Tsu. No offense Midoriya bro, but there is no way your quirk is anywhere close to All Might's quirk. It's not like the symbol of peace breaks his arms after his epic fights." Kirishima said. "The whole strength-enhancing thing is cool and there are so many things to do with it. You can be easily noticed by the media, like this second-year girl I met with Sero who works on the school paper. Hey Sero what's her name again?"
"I believe her name is Lois Lane, so Lane Senpai," Sero said. "Kirishima is right, not everyone has a flashy quirk. Like Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki, and Rachel. I bet once you guys graduate, you four would be the main talk of the country.
I felt flattered by Sero's words, I never imagine myself as popular, it's not like popularity ever matter to me. Thought I am thankful for Sero to say those kind words to us.
"Ribbit, I can see Midoriya, Todoroki, and Rachel being popular very easily once they graduate. Bakugo will never be popular, especially with all of his false death threats." Asui boldly said making the ashed-blond yell back.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY, FROG GIRL? I'LL KILL YOU!"
"Oh please." We all turn our attention to the invisible girl. "If you want to be popular you'd take an anger management class, but there's no way you ever will. You're just counting the days until All Might has his final epic showdown that would determine the fate of good and evil. On the time of his death bed, he calls for you and, in a croaky whisper, explains that Izuku Midoriya is incompetent being the Number One Hero and that you, the long-suffering Katsuki Bakugo, are the only one qualified to be the next Number One Pro Hero, and you weep shameful tears, because you know deep down that being number one hero is the only true love, you will ever know."
We were all silent and Bakugo was pale as a ghost with his mouth just hanging from shock. We were all shocked to hear Toru Hakegure's thoughts.
"Hot damn," Jiro said breaking the ice.
"What?" the invisible girl cover her mouth in a panic with her gloved hands. "Oh my god, was I talking?"
'She said that by accident.' I thought.
Finally, the ride to the training grounds ended, It would be nice to flex my legs. I see my classmates are excited even walking up the stairs is fun for them.
If I was allowed to feel my emotions, would I be that excited too? I always wonder that question to myself. Ever since I got my quirk, I don't remember the last time I felt that excited. I don't remember how I acted too.
I saw Ochaco's reaction when meeting the Pro Hero Thirteen. Her body and emotions are in sync. I'm jealous that she can express her emotions and it shows on her face. Her smile and her glittering eyes. I wish I can be like Ochaco, even for a day.
I know, Tenya secretly has feeling for her. It's my little superpower that I called, sister sense. I question what is like, to like someone in the sense of romance. I never even have my first crush ever. When I asked Ochaco earlier if she ever had a boyfriend or had any boys confessing to her. I asked that exact question for a reason.
I want to know what that feeling is like, with my quirk, I can finally know what it is like, even if the emotion isn't even mine.
Am I a bad friend, or somewhat selfish by having the idea to borrow emotions?
"Hey now Rachel, it is no time to be a gloomy duck. It is time to be an excited hedgehog." Denki smiled trying to cheer me up. I smiled back, he has a point. Perhaps listening to Thirteen can distract my emotions and thoughts.
"Welcome Class 1A to the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, or what I like to call it, The USJ." Thirteen said.
Aizawa stood forward and asked about All Might. Now, thinking about it, he is supposed to be here to train with 1A.
Did the schedule change and he is training with Class 1B?
I notice Izuku's aura, he is yellow again. I should ask him and help him deal with his worries. "Izuku is something that matters?" Oddly enough he jumped, I wasn't even trying to spook him.
"R-Rachel, I'm sorry. I was overthinking." Izuku said as he is avoiding eye contact.
He is avoiding eye contact, and his aura change to yellow, when Asui compared his quirk with All Might his aura is yellow too. Do his worries have to do with All Might?
Maybe If I calm him down as I did to Denki when we first met. Perhaps he can share with me what worries him.
I touched Izuku's shoulder and I concentrated on my feeling. Thankfully enough that I was already calm and making him calm should be quite… easy— What the?
Strange, there is another aura covering Izuku's emotions, like this other aura is shielding me for some reason. Underneath his yellow aura was green, the color of willpower.
This shouldn't be right, everyone carries a single emotional aura, and yet Izuku has another one. The way I understand aura is like the soul. Every living being had one, and yet Izuku has another.
I could be wrong, Aura as a soul is just a theory I made up to make sense, it's not like it's fact.
Maybe if I take some of his worries and place them on myself, he'll be much calmer by then.
Taking someone's emotions, like Izuku's worries is quite easier than transferring my own emotion onto people. At least I don't have to concentrate on an emotion that has to create order to feel. Borrowing someone's emotions that already exist in the present time is quite much easier.
Though I have to be careful, especially about the side effects. Like the time I took Aizawa's grief, and made it mine. I almost hurt myself with Aizawa's emotions.
I hope there is no downside to taking Izuku's worries.
After taking Izuku's worries, I notice that Izuku was calmer than before. Now, I can ask him. "Izuku is there a problem?"
"Yeah, I just heard from Thirteen that All Might isn't coming," Izuku said getting everyone's attention.
"What, no way! All Might not be coming?!" Ashido shouted. Getting everyone to feel disappointed.
Surprisingly enough, my brother raises his hand. "Thirteen, Mr. Aizawa, Is this had to do with All Might in the news?" he asks.
What uh? What news, I am very confused now.
"Tenya is right sir. Me, Izuku, and Tenya saw the live news about All Might dealing with a hostage situation with Mount Lady, Kamui Woods, and Death Arms," Denki added.
"What, Kaminari, where did you guys see the news?" Kirishima asked for everyone.
"Well, the boys and I went to the supported studio earlier, and we saw live news about All Might with other heroes in a hostage situation. It took almost three hours according to the news broadcast for the whole fiasco to end."
"Is that so, I don't see this as a big deal. This is All Might, after all, I'm sure the Number One Hero can catch up to do his lectures." Yaoyarozu mentions it, and she does have a good point.
"That might be true, Yaoyarozu, but All Might won't be going us today." We all turn back our attention to Aizawa. "Because of the hostage situation, All Might went to do the paperwork needed after his job saving the hostages. It would be just Thirteen and I today."
"Paperwork is the most boring thing to do as Pro Heroes," Sato said and many agreed with him.
After learning about the disappointment that All Might was not coming to join us on our rescue train, We finally entered the dome building that is the USJ. To my truth, I was expecting another training ground like the city battleground, or the suburban neighborhood like my entrance exam.
I was wrong.
I was surprised to see the inside of the USJ, it was just a huge dome ground area, but inside it like we just fell into a rabbit hole and entered Wonderland, and the USJ is quite a wonder.
"Holy macaroni and cheese! This place is like an amusement park!" Sato yelled at everyone thrilled to see the inside of the USJ.
Sato wasn't wrong, it did look like an amusement park. There was a flood zone, landslide zone, and a conflagration zone, well there are also other zones, but if you add a Starbucks, and book store, it could be almost perfect.
Burp! We turn to Thirteen, we didn't expect them to burp in front of their students. "Sorry students, I had a heavy lunch. Anyways, Let me introduce myself, I am the space hero, Thirteen. My pronouns are They and Them, I'm non-binary and asexual, and I like history, visiting museums, and watching nature documentaries. I dislike the color pink and my fur allergies, are my favorite hobbies. Learning new recipes and I have a side job for children's birthday parties, I do face painting, I also pose nude for art and –"
"Thirteen for Pet's sake, you have a class to start!" Aizawa yelled at the hero.
I yawned, I felt lost after hearing Thirteen kept talking about themselves. They remind me of my old substitute teacher back at Moira Queen Junior high. I'm not even paying attention at this point, I just heard stuff like, Our quirks can be dangerous if used on people, blah, blah, blah, and something about using our quirks for rescue, blah, blah, blah. When can we flex our muscles and let the action do our work for us?
I think I fell asleep, I heard Ochaco, Izuku, Denki, and Tenya cheering for Thirteen. Oh man, did I miss something?
Aizawa went to speak as I try my best to pay attention to the class. "Alright, Thank you Thirteen for that lecture. Now first we'll divide you into teams, it would be the same teams for the whole exercise, now When I call up your name–" He stopped as he moved as aside.
At first, I thought He would choose our teams, but that seems like no longer the case, then I saw his emotional aura lights up, and I was yellow. He kept pushing us aside until he reach the staircase.
Looking in his direction, I start to feel a cold chill run up my spine, as my worries rose high towards what I saw at the main plaza.
It was a violet purple and people are coming out from it, and they share the same emotions shown in their aura, it was rage.
"Woah, are those volunteers for our rescue exercise?" Aizawa pushes back Kirishima as sees his fear increasing.
"Step back students, those aren't volunteers, those are villains," Aizawa said in a calm clear voice, but his calm voice didn't any of us calm.
Especially, the last people who exited the portal. It was a man covered in fake hands. I gulped hoping that those were fake. The guy was a monstrous being, with an exposed brain. Lastly, the portal was a person, wearing a nice fancy suit, and he seems like a mutant type because his head was just violet mist and yellow glowing eyes.
We all thought this was just a simple rescue training, Now we're going to fight for our lives.
Wooooh. This was fun to write. Originally this chapter was supposed to be longer. We're going to see more of the USJ in the next couple of chapters.
For now, I'm ending this chapter.
As for MHA Watches Avatar The Last Airbender. It is on its way, I'm just currently dealing with writer's block.
I never mention why I switch to first-person writing. I've been reading books, and I honestly enjoy writing first person. It is very different from the Third person. That is why I switched to the first person.
Anyways next chapter in my new Chapter Cyle is MHA Watches Avatar the Last Airbender, Til next time.
Mabuhay.
