The rest of the tests went by without a hitch.

Now it's time for the results.

While they waited, Katara was still somewhat in a trance as she went back to thinking about what she did to Bakugou. Sure, she stopped him from harming Midoriya, but still...she blood-bended.

As she tried to figure out how this odd occurrence even happened, Aizawa got his phone out and showed everyone the results through a hologram coming out of his phone.

"Alright, here are the results," he said to his students.

Once he showed them their stats, each student tried to find their name on the hologram. Now out of her thoughts, Katara looked up to see if she could find her name as well.

She found it!

She was...No. 3 on the chart!?

"Wow, Katara! Look! You're number 3!" Ochako exclaimed with a grin, "And...oh! Well, I guess number 10 is a pretty good spot for me!" she said with a sheepish smile.

"Whoa, nice Katara! *ribbit* " Tsuyu complimented, "I'm not so lucky though...quite literally figuratively. I'm number 13 on the chart!"

"I have no doubt in my mind that you did really well, Yagi-san!" Iida said with a chopping motion with his arm. "...It also looks like I did pretty well too...although I'm fifth place."

"Hey, number 9 isn't so bad!" Mina said with a grin.

Katara stood there in awe for a bit at her placement in the chart. She was below Todoroki, who was number 2! The number one spot was...Yaoyorozu Momo?

Momo? Wow...that's that tall girl, right?

But one thing she saw that she couldn't help but put a smirk on her face, was that below her in the chart was...

"WHAT THE HELL!? Why am I in fourth place!?" Bakugou hollered.

The girl with long ear jacks gave him a deadpan stare. "Why are you mad? You're in the higher spots."

"Yeah, dude, you did a really good job also," said the electric blonde young man.

"Shut up! It's not good enough!" Bakugou gritted his teeth in distaste.

The blonde boy and the purple-haired girl blinked. The latter frowned and crossed her arms as she muttered, "Sheesh, talk about being a perfectionist."

"Yeah...the guy needs to chill..." the blonde shifts his eyes to the purple-haired girl next to him, "Uh...the name's Kaminari Denki, by the way."

"Huh? Oh, uh...Jirou Kyoka. Sup?" she asked.

"Nothin' much," Kaminari shrugged.

Todoroki meanwhile looked at the score.

...That's good. Not great, but good...and I did it without my dad's fire...

He glanced at Katara, who has third place in the chart.

...She's stronger than I thought... Todoroki thought.

Back with Katara, she tried to find Midoriya's place in the rankings...

...She found it.

Katara's eyes widened in shock.

19!? And the last one is-

"NOOOOO!" yelled out Mineta in despair, "I'm last! I'm last! I'm last! I'll never score a hot babe! I'll never become a sex symbol! I'll never get to have a harem filled with women!"

...

All the students, plus Aizawa, just stared at Mineta...

Katara couldn't help but look at the tiny boy in...cringing disgust.

"...Also, I was lying about expelling someone...apparently," Aizawa said as he turned off the hologram on his phone.

"...WHAAAAAAA!?" said the majority of the class.

"It was all a rational deception," Aizawa said, "It was to get the best out of all of you."

The tall girl, Momo, shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Well, yeah. Of course it was a test to get us all to do our best. It wasn't that hard to figure out."

Katara blinked.

Ochako had her mouth dropped down.

Iida froze in bafflement.

Mina looked floored.

Tsuyu...looked indifferent. But she did say, "Huh. Yeah, that makes sense."

And Izuku...his mouth dropped down with a shocked look on his face.

"Anyway...we're done here. Your documents about the curriculum and such are back in the classroom. Give them a look..." Aizawa glanced at Midoriya, "Midoriya."

Izuku jumped at the mention of his name.

Aizawa then pulled out a medical slip and gave it to him. "Take this to Recovery Girl. She'll fix you up," he looked at the other students, "Just know that tomorrow's trials aren't gonna be easy, everyone. Until then, I'll see you all in class." he turned around and walked off...however, he stopped, "Oh. And Mineta?"

...Mineta froze in fear.

"...A word with you after class."

"...Yes sir," Mineta feebly said.

And with that, Aizawa walked off...

...The students all were silent...

...Then Katara remembered something that Aizawa said.

Take this to Recovery Girl. She'll fix you up.

...Wait...so...Midoriya was hurt!?

Katara turned to Midoriya...who looked dumbfounded while holding his medical slip and clutching onto his finger.

Then...it seems the pieces were starting to connect as she thought of why Aizawa stopped his Quirk...

Was it...dangerous for him?

She also realized...

...Oh...wait...did...Aizawa tried to...erase my...I mean...was he trying to cancel out my bending?

As a lot of things started coming at her all at once, a male voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Hey."

Katara jumped and turned around to see Todoroki.

"Oh, uh...T-Todoroki, right?" she asked him.

"Yeah," he replied.

"Um...good job on the ranking back there."

"...Yeah...I'm going to be blunt."

"Huh?" Katara blinked.

"...We might be rivals from here on, so..." Todoroki glanced at the ground for a second and looked back at Katara, "...Don't hold back."

And with that, Todoroki walked off and back into class.

...What?

As Katara blinked some more, another voice came up to her.

"Hey, pretty awesome back there!" said Jirou, who was followed by Kaminari.

"Huh? Oh! Uh, thanks, um..." Katara tried to remember her name.

"Just Jirou is fine!" the girl smirked.

"Hey! Name's Kaminari!" Kaminari introduced himself with a smile.

"Hey there! My name is...um, Yagi!" Katara said with a smile from herself.

"Hey there, Kat!" Ochako went over to the group, "Man, who would have thought that Aizawa-sensei would lie about expelling someone if they didn't do well on the test!"

"Yeah! That was a dirty trick!" Mina said with a pout as she came up to them.

"Well, it makes sense once you think about it. *ribbit*" Tsuyu said as she was now part of the group.

"I completely was almost fooled by that! UA must certainly be a harsh and well-thought-out institution to let us be tricked into doing our absolute best!" Iida said as he came up to the group.

"Oh, hey, you're that speedy guy, right? Nice job on the...well, speed, I guess," Jirou complimented.

"Oh...uh, th-thank you! I, um, well, I-I try!" Iida said with a salute...and maybe with a little bit of a blush.

"Yeah, all of your Quirks are pretty awesome!" Kaminari said with a grin.

As they continued to talk amongst each other, Katara looked back at Midoriya as he was walking off to Recovery Girl's office.

...I got to talk to Toshi about what kind of Quirk he gave him...

And soon, they all went back to class to wait on the next subject…

Meanwhile...

"Aizawa! You big fat liar!" All Might semi-exclaimed at the Class 1-A teacher.

"Hm?" Aizawa turned his head to the No. 1 Hero after he rounded a corner of the building, "Ah, All Might. Good to know that you were wasting time spying on me and my students."

"Nevermind that! A 'rational' deception!? April Fools was last week! You expelled last year's class because you said in your report that you didn't see any potential in all of them! You mercilessly discard those with zero prospects! Now, you go back on your word? What changed your mind?" All Might asked Eraserhead seriously.

"I saw that they have potential. Not much to it," Aizawa shrugged.

"Even that Midoriya kid?" All Might asked curiously.

"...He has the drive. However, if he didn't have the prospects, I would've cut him loose long ago...to me, at first glance, he doesn't stand a chance. But...his drive certainly is something to pay attention to. That's all I can say," Aizawa muttered, "Other than that, I don't want to be the person to tell a kid to chase their half-baked dreams. There's nothing crueler than lying to a kid."

...Ah. I see. So this is your way of being kind then. All Might thought in understanding.

"Besides, I bumped him up from last place. If anything, he should take that as a mercy act," Aizawa says.

"Ah, yes...it would seem Young Midoriya did not suffer from last place! You put that Mineta boy in that last spot! ...That kid seems to be a little too...pervy, I guess I should say." All Might nodded.

"Hmph. He'll be dealt with..." Aizawa turned his whole body at the No. 1 Hero, "By the way, your niece actually did really well...a little too well."

"...Oh! Um, thank you! She is, um...she is rather talented!" All Might said, almost a little uneasily.

"Hm...she certainly is. Talented enough to not be affected by my Quirk Erasing stare...do you have any idea what that's all about, All Might?" Aizawa raised a suspicious eyebrow.

"...Oh...um...yes, that was...uh, that was strange...w-well...u-uh...I mean, did you recently have cataract surgery, or...?"

"...No."

"Ah, okay...uh...gee, I...I don't...particularly know...?"

"...I want to talk to you after the school day ends."

"...Right...uh...s-sure..."

"Hm. In the meantime, I also want to meet up with Nedzu about your niece. He might want to hear about how she wasn't affected by my Quirk."

Oh, you don't need to worry about that...although, he'll be quite intrigued by it.

"R-Right."

"Hmm..." Aizawa walked on ahead to his class, "Don't try to use your buff form for too long, All Might. That would be wasting your time."

"...Sure thing," All Might muttered.

And with that, Aizawa left with All Might/Toshinori standing there...

...Yeaaah, this is gonna be difficult to explain to someone like Aizawa.

Around Noon...

While changing back into her school uniform in the girls' locker room, she has her tie applied around her neck and was about to put her blazer on, when someone came up to her.

"Hey there! That's a really awesome Quirk you got!" said a girl's voice next to her.

Jumping at the voice, Katara turned to her right.

...To see a pair of underwear and a bra floating.

"...Uh…" Katara blinked.

"Oh! Sorry! I didn't mean to startle ya! But hey, I guess I succeeded in being a stealth Hero for that! Hehe!" said the...voice? Floating underwear?

"...Oh! You're...one of my classmates, right?" Katara asked sheepishly.

"Hehe! Yep! Name's Tooru! Hagakure Tooru! I guess it's obvious what my Quirk is, huh?"

Katara chuckled awkwardly, "Um...well, I'm guessing it's invisibility?"

"Haha! You're right!" Tooru said as she made a stance, probably winking and putting out a peace sign to her. "I mean, it's not as cool as yours, what with the water manipulation!"

"Oh, it's not that special...but thanks," Katara said as she smiled, "And hey, don't sell yourself out! Your Quirk is really useful in a lot of things! Like you said, you can do stealth missions and you can sneak up on someone to knock them out! Maybe you can even fight someone even while you're invisible!"

"Heh, aww, now you're being too kind. For me, I really have to find some kind of special suit to really clothe myself. I mean, I can't really be stealthy in the nude, you know?"

"...Oh...um...well, it's still pretty cool either way!" Katara shrugged with a sheepish smile.

"Heh, I appreciate that!" Tooru said with a…smile? Katara hope she was smiling. "But man, I'm just lucky to be in UA!"

"Tell me about it!" said Mina as she approached the two girls, buttoning her shirt up, "Although, I really hope we don't have tests like that as often!"

"Yeah," Jirou said as she also buttoned up her shirt, "I heard UA is supposed to be brutal, but I didn't think we would get a test on the first day."

"Well, at least we passed...even though that test was just somewhat of a sham," Tsuyu tied the tie around her neck.

"I don't know why all of you were shocked about that," said Momo who was sitting on a bench and putting her shoes on, "It's only reasonable that our teacher would use the art of deception like that...although, I am a recommended student, so..." blinking at that, she realized what she said, "...Oh! I mean, well...I'm not saying..." she looked up at the girls and waved her hands anxiously, "W-Well, I'm not saying that just cause I'm a recommended student, I wouldn't be cut out so easy and that I wouldn't know about it! I just figured that...well...I mean, I'm not saying I would get a pass or anything like that, but...I-I mean, I would've gone to the Entrance Exam just like everyone else, believe it or not! It's just...my parents are protective and they wanted me to do the Recommended Entrance Exam! W-Which is why I studied really hard and excelled! I mean...oh dear, it sounds like I'm really boasting at this point...n-nevermind!" Momo got up and started bowing in apology. "I-I'm sorry for making you all uncomfortable! I just wanted to be part of the conversation!"

...The girls looked at Momo, dumbly staring at her...and blinking.

Katara, though, after Momo's rambling, couldn't help but giggle. "Your name is Momo, right?"

Momo stood straight up and looked at the waterbender in surprise. "Oh! Um, yes! Yaoyorozu Momo!"

"Hehe!" Katara giggled, "Okay then! Well, I want to ask, what's your Quirk?"

"M-My Quirk?" Momo blinked, "Well, it's, um, it's Creation. I can create anything out of myself, as long as I know the components. I also would waste away lipids if I create anything out of myself, so I have to be careful. With that, I have to eat constantly."

"Oh. Huh...wow. So you created that cannon out of you at the test?" Katara asked her.

"Oh yes! Hence...why I look...well, why I look thinner..." Momo explained.

"Oh...well, that is a pretty nifty Quirk!" Katara smiled.

"Oh! Why thank you! Yours is actually pretty good as well!" Momo said also with a smile.

"Well, hey, since we're talking about Quirks, mine is Earjacks, if you can believe it," said Jirou in good humor as she swung one of her long ear jacks around. "Didn't do too much with my Quirk, but I can hear frequencies, such as the heartbeats of other people, and use my own heartbeat to make soundwaves. Also, I'm good at hearing conversations and picking up if people are nervous when they talk."

"Oh really? Wow, you almost sound like a friend of mine. She can tell people are lying just by hearing their voices and heartbeats" Katara grinned.

"Really? Well good for her! What's her Quirk if I may ask?" Jirou asked.

"Oh, well...it's kind of-"

Then, as if God was on Katara's side, a strange gurgling sound came from...Momo...

...Momo blushed, "Sorry, I'm...really hungry right now," she patted her stomach.

"Well hey, let's get something to eat then! Lunch is almost starting!" Ochako said as she put on her blazer.

"Yeah! I'm starving!" Mina exclaimed.

"Not as much as Yaomomo though!" Tooru giggled.

"...Yaomomo?" Momo blinked.

"Hey, that's a good nickname for Momo!" Ochako said with a grin.

"Haha! Yeah, I give out some pretty good nicknames once in a while!" Tooru giggled.

"It has a nice ring to it," Tsuyu nodded.

"Yaomomo, huh?" Mina grinned as she looked at Momo and pointed at her, "Then we'll call you that from now on!"

"Hold on, we got to know if she's okay with it, at least," Jirou frowned.

"Oh! Um...a-actually, that sounds...quite pleasant, really," Momo nodded with a smile. "Yaomomo...huh. That's kind of creative."

"What do I tell ya!?" Tooru said as she laughed.

The girls joined in on the laughter, with Katara joining in as well.

Wow...I never had any gal-friend moments with anyone other than Toph...this is nice.

As their laughter died down, Ochako then said, "Oh! Hey, speaking of nicknames, that Bakugou guy called that Midoriya guy 'Deku'! I wonder why he said that? Do they know each other?"

Katar stood there as she thought about that.

...Do they happen to know each other? What does that jerk have to do with Midoriya?

"Well, I'll tell ya one thing about Bakugou, he has a personality of a brick," Jirou mumbled.

Katara smirked at that.

I'm gonna like this gal.

"Yeah, he was really loudmouthed!" Mina said with a frown, "I wonder what he and Midoirya's deal is?"

"Well, I can say that his temper is certainly unheroic at best," Momo threw her two cents in.

"Yeah. Not the most attractive personality," Tooru said with a nod.

I think I'm gonna like all of these girls. Katara grinned.

"He's the type of guy who won't get popular for long," Tsuyu said with a nod of her head.

"You know what? I think we can all agree on that!" Katara said jovially.

"Well...I kind of thought he meant like Dekiru, like 'You can do it'!" Ochako said.

Katara turned to her with a raised brow, "'Chako, we met him firsthand. I don't think he has that type of personality."

"If anything, I think he meant 'worthless'," Tsuyu added.

"What?" Katara turned to Tsuyu in surprise.

"Well, yeah. 'Deku' is pretty much a derogatory name," Tsuyu explained.

"Oh, well...yeah, I guess. But...that Bakugou guy has to be a Hero for a reason, right?" Ochako reasoned, "No Hero-in-training would call anyone worthless."

...That's...troubling... Katara thought in concern, but only for Midoriya.

"Well, hey, how about we hit the cafeteria right now? We'll talk about stuff when we get a table!" Mina suggested.

"Oh yes! I really need the nutrition right now," Momo said, nodding.

And with that, they all got dressed and left the girls' locker room to hang out in the cafeteria. All in all, Katara was really grateful that her first day at UA was pretty successful. She has some new friends, learned the ends and outs of Heroism and their teacher, and some of her classmates' Quirks!

After School...

So far, everything went by fast on her first school day. The first couple of subjects after lunch weren't that bad to learn, except maybe English...she didn't really know why she had to study that one. But she did enjoy her teachers...well, sometimes with Aizawa. Katara can't help but feel his eyes trained on her, either judging her or in suspicion...and she saw him firsthand looking at her like he was trying to figure something out...

That was...a little worrisome.

Either way, she ignored it(or at least tried to) for now, and the last school bell rang. It was time to go on home...

As Katara said bye to her girl classmates and went with Ochako out of the campus, both girls saw Iida over at Midoriya as he was talking to him.

Katara didn't have time to check if Midoriya was okay, as he sped out rather quickly. He was also quiet the whole entire time in the classroom...

As they got closer, Ochako was the one who called out, "Hey! Midoriya and Iida! Hey!"

Both boys turned their attention to the girls. Iida reacted first.

"Oh! Y-Yagi-san and...uh, Uraraka-san?" Iida asked to make sure.

"Yep! Bingo! Haha!" Ochako said happily.

"Oh, u-uh, hey Ka-...wait, Yagi-san?" Izuku blinked.

Huh...she has the same last name as All Might's real name... Izuku thought.

Katara mildly winced, "Uh, yeah! Hey, guys!"

However, Iida apparently caught Izuku's blunder.

"Wait a minute! You were going to say Yagi-san's first name?" Iida asked Izuku, "Wha...What is your relationship with Yagi-san?"

"Huh? Uh...w-well, I, uh, u-um, I-"

"Oh, she said she prefers to be called by her first name!" Ochako said as they went up to them.

"Huh?" Iida turned his surprised gaze at Katara, "Really?"

"I-I mean, yeah, I, uh, well, it's just...a name...y-you know?" Katara tried to nonchalantly smile, but it came out a little forced.

"...Oh…" Iida blinked. He turned her head to Izuku and then back at Katara, "...C-...Can I call you Katara?"

"...Um...sure?" Katara shrugged.

"...O-Okay then…" Iida then stood straight up and a blush emerged on his face, "W-W-Well, I will call you Katara then!"

...Awkward silence...

Katara blinked.

Ochako blinked.

...Izuku was confused.

Iida...just stood there a frigid as a statue...

...Maybe I was too bold? Iida thought.

"...Well, anyway!" Ochako broke the silence, "Your Quirk was really cool, Midoriya! You sent that ball flying!"

"Uh-heh, well, your Quirk was...infinitely more awesome! Uh...sorry, no pun attended!" Midoriya nervously said.

Uraraka and Katara giggled.

"Uh-heh, yeah...oh! And Katara, your Quirk was really outstanding too!" Midoriya complemented her.

"Aww, thanks, Midoriya!" Katara smiled appreciatively at him.

"I have to agree with Midoriya on both of your Quirks, Uraraka-san and...K-Katara-san!" Iida said with a slight blush. "Ahem! Anyway, I was checking up on Midoriya-san on his injury on his finger after doing that throw!"

"Oh! Yeah, how is your finger, Midoriya?" Ochako asked him.

"Oh, uh, it-it's really okay! Recovery Girl healed it!" Midoriya smiled nervously.

Katara looked at his hand which had bandages around it.

Oh yeah, that's right. I got to ask Toshi about that.

"Oh okay! Well, hey, we're all headed to the station! Are you guys heading that way?" Ochako asked them.

"Um, yeah, we are," Midoriya said, his eyes blinking.

"Well, we probably should be going!" Iida advised, "The next train ride will take us fifteen minutes, so we need to make haste!"

"Well, let's head on over there then!" Katara said.

As they walk to their route to the station, they chatted amongst themselves, which let Ochako bring up something in the conversation.

"Hey, Midoriya! Why did that Bakugou guy call you 'Deku'?"

"Huh? Oh...uh, w-well, that's Kacchan's way of...acknowledging me, I guess," Midoriya answered awkwardly.

Kacchan? Katara thought inquisitively.

"Acknowledging you? Do you happen to know him?" Katara asked Izuku.

"Um...i-in a way...yeah..." Izuku mumbled.

Katara frowned. "Well, he shouldn't call you that. That's not a very nice thing to say."

"Ah...w-well, I-..."

"Hey...I mean it," Katara told him sincerely, "Whatever history you have with that guy, he shouldn't call you that. You're way more than a 'Deku'. You're a Hero to me, Tsuyu, Mina, and Iida as well."

Izuku turned his head at Katara and looked at her for a second...and looked back down, a smile on his face a bit, "...T-Thanks."

Katara nodded with a smile. "No problem."

No one should feel worthless, Midoriya, because you're not. In fact, All Might saw great potential in you...and I see it too.

And with that, they kept walking to the station as they conversed.

Back in UA...

A deflated Toshinori and Aizawa are all in Principal Nedzu's office...

They sat across from each other on couches...

Each of them stared at the other...

One was sweating...

The other wanted answers...

...

...It was then the door opened.

"Ah! Thank you for waiting!" said Principal Nedzu as he walked in with a cup of piping hot tea in his hand, closing the door behind him. The furry chimera walked around the two couches and went up to his absurdly-large-for-his-size desk, and sat in his raised-up seat. "Now...what seems to be the problem?"

"Nedzu. The girl known as Yagi Katara, All Might's niece, used her Quirk on a student...while I was looking at her. Meaning my Quirk didn't affect her," Aizawa started.

"Oh, really?" Nedzu took a sip of his tea, "Hmmm...did you have cataract surgery, Eraserhead?"

"..." He turned his head to Nedzu, "Nedzu, I'm being serious."

"And so was I."

"..." Eraserhead sighed, "...No. But that's not the point. The point is...I feel like All Might here isn't...believe it or not, being truthful about his family tree."

"Oh? What makes you say that?" Nedzu asked.

"Honestly, I was hoping All Might would give me the answers," Aizawa said as he turned his attention to Toshinori.

"...Right," Toshi nodded, "Um...I...well, you see...she...I mean, Katara...I mean...she's very...special...special in the terms of-...well, she's...uh...y-you see-she...well, as you can see, I...don't have a shade of tan on me, so...I...I mean, I think I did one time, but...well, that was long ago, and the fight against...well, you-know-who, and-"

"Look," Aizawa said with his fingers pinching the bridge of his nose, "Just answer me this: is she, or is she not your niece?"

"..."

"...Answer truthfully." Aizawa narrowed his eyes.

"...No..."

"...Hm...I kind of figured much...now, the question is...who is she?" Aizawa asked.

"...A...girl that manipulates water," Toshinori answers with a mutter.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...You're gonna have to be more specific, All Might."

"...Well-"

"Oh, let's just cut to the chase, shall we?" Nedzu said as he set his teacup down, "Aizawa, Katara is from another world."

...

"...What?" Now Aizawa turned to Nedzu, dumbfounded.

Toshinori's eyes went wide as his mouth dropped open, turning his head at Nedzu in surprise.

"I said, Katara is from another world. Meaning, her 'Quirk'...isn't a Quirk," Nedzu explained.

"..." Aizawa blinked.

...

...

...

"..." Aizawa turned back at Toshinori...and back at Nedzu, "...You're really serious, aren't you?"

Nedzu kept his smile on his furry face, "I wouldn't joke. I'm all business. You know that, Eraserhead."

"...What the…" he turned back to All Might, "She's...really...from another world?"

...Toshinori turned his attention back to Aizawa, mouth closed but eyes still wide.

"...Yes..." Toshinori answered truthfully.

"...Oh…"

...Awkward silence...

"...So...I have an alien in my classroom?" Aizawa asked.

"...You could say that," Toshinori said, "Although...it's...kind of complicated..."

"...Uhhh-huh…"

Nedzu sipped his tea and placed the teacup down as he said, "Well, I think we all need some kind of explanation. I only know that she's from another world thanks to All Might telling me. How she got here, is something that wasn't explored until right now. So All Might, why don't you start from the beginning, hm?"

"Umm...right...well...I didn't really find her originally..." Toshinori began.

Hoo-boy...I'm glad I texted Katara that I was gonna come home a little later in the evening. This is gonna take a while...
