"You got everything, son?" Inko asked her son for the millionth time as she watched Uzumaki Izuku grab his notebook which happened to be the last thing he needed. Izuku chuckled at his mother's worrying but he couldn't blame her, they would be far apart for a longer duration this time around, or at least till he got used to his new life at U.A. "Don't worry mother, I have everything and Kurama double checked me. I'll call you when I settle in the dorms within the week, and text once in the morning and at night."
Inko knew she was worrying about nothing and knew her son was definitely capable of handling any situation that may arise in the future, but her mother-like instincts didn't want her baby to leave yet, it was only natural. "I know, son. I have full confidence that you'll have no problem at U.A and if there is one you'll figure out a situation. I know your father would agree with me." Tears started to well up in her eyes and Izuku brought her into a hug. "I know, mother. He would have told me that he believed in me a hundred percent and that I should help out my peers when they need it."
Giving her one last hug, Izuku put on his backpack and grabbed his small back duffel bag and headed out the house. Before he disappeared in the tree line he gave one last wave and walked his way away from his house.
"Izuku, out of everything I teach you, remember these words. Never give in to your anger or hatred, it is only then you lose sight of not only your goals but you lose sight of yourself as well. Help out those in need as best as possible, be a hero in more than action, be a hero who is supported in more than your costume. Remember these words because they will be the cornerstone of your career if you still plan on becoming a hero, ok son?"
Reaching the edge of their property, Izuku saw Mirio and Toshinori by the Pro Hero's truck waiting for him. "We got an hour before your first day, hurry up Izuku!" Mirio said hopping in the front passenger seat, receiving a nod from Toshinori to hop in the back.
Izuku was curious on how big someone had to be for them to make the doors so big, but opened the door to an unsurprising scene. "Get your feet off the desk, you are disrespecting the craftsmanship and past heroes who have once sat in these very seats!" It was the tall blue haired guy with the square head and glasses, scolding the one person Izuku wasn't surprised by his actions. " Shut up you extra! What Jr. High are you from?!" Bakugo shouted, not at all caring about his disrespectful attitude.
'Some things will never change I see.' Walking in and looking around, he was surprised to see his pink female friend. Walking past the two arguing boys, he saw her talking to two other girls who stared at him but they were unable to inform the pinkette before it was too late. Wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her into a hug from behind and swung her side to side. "Mina-Chan, good morning!"
Mina in return let out a small scream at the action before she realized who it was. "Izu-kun?!" Setting her down, Mina gave him one of her own hugs this time with him hugging her back. "I'm so happy we're in the same class, Ochako-Chan is also with us. She should be here right…now." No sooner did Mina say that, Uraraka Ochako opened the class door and walked in, quickly spotting the duo. Running over, she enveloped both Izuku and Mina into a hug.
"I'm so glad we'll be in the same class, it's going to be so fun now!" A cough was heard behind them that caught their attention, Mina blushing in embarrassment at the realisation that she forgot she was speaking to some of the other girls before Izuku came in. "Right, let me introduce everyone. This is Yaoyorozu Momo, her quirk is creation."
Long black hair tied in a ponytail, black eyes and fair skin, matched with a heart shaped face. She had a fuller physique than the other girls, accompanied with more fat on her thighs and stomach than any other part of her body. Izuku thought she was cute, taking note that her quirk might have an impact on her body. "Beside her is Kyoka Jiro, her quirk is Earphone Jack."
An inch or two smaller than Yaoyorozu Momo with a slim boyish figure, black eyes and short dark purple hair with two chin length bangs. She had fair skin with two earphone jacks hanging her earlobes at the end of two thin cords that act like extra limbs. "Next is Hagakure Tōru who's quirk as you can tell is invisibility." All Izuku and Ochako could see was a school uniform floating, at least what they could see with their bare eyes.
"Last but not least is Asui Tsuyu, her quirk is frog." Standing about the same height as Kyoka Jiro with a slim figure and fair skin. She had bigger hands and a wider mouth due to her quirk, wide black eyes and a heart shaped face. She had thick tights that he deduced were part of her quirk as well, long dark sea green hair with two long bangs going down to her chest and one stopping at her forehead.
"Girls, these two are Uraraka Ochako and Uzumaki Izuku. Ochako-Chan quirk is zero gravity and Izu-kun is energy manipulation." It was no surprise to Ochako and Mina that the other girls knew he was devilishly handsome, and within the few minutes that followed they could see he was also a gentleman. All while the group talked, Bakugo was glancing at them with a scowl, not liking that Izuku was in the same class as him.
With everyone relaxed and excited they all jumped when the door slammed open, drawing everybody's eyes to see a yellow sleeping bag caterpillar making its way to the front of the classroom before a tall man emerged from his sleeping bag. "Everybody quiet down and take a seat."
"It took eight seconds for everyone to quiet down and find a seat, eight seconds that you could have used in battle. Anyways, my name is Aizawa Shōta and I'll be your home room teacher." He was a tall slender man with pale skin and shoulder length black messy hair, a white cloth like material wrapped around his neck lossly. His bangs partially in front of his face where it almost covers his half opened eyes; dressed in an all black combat clothing and boots, he didn't look like much to many of the students. The only one who actually knew the man to a point was Izuku and only because he recognized the messy black hair and white cloth around his neck where he knew the man's yellow goggles were. "Now, everyone change into your gym clothes and head out to the field."
Ten minutes later, all of Class 1-A were standing in the field by what looked like a throwing pit. "Today we will be conducting a Quirk test." That shocked many of the students who were expecting a normal high school first day. "Unlike other high schools and many Hero schools, UA allows teachers to conduct their classes how they see fit, a freestyle educational system." Walking to the pit, he grabbed a baseball and scanned his students, his eyes locking onto the greenette longer before calling out Bakugo Katsuki and handing him the ball.
"You all should remember the eight standard No-quirk allowed gym tests: softball throwing, standing long jump, fifty meter dash, endurance running, side-to-side stepping, upper body training grip strength, and toe touches." Making sure they were all listening and on track, he instructed Bakugo to throw the ball while using his quirk. Stretching his arms a bit, he threw his arm back before with all his strength shot it forward, using his explosion quirk at the moment of release to get the best and maximum distance while shouting "DIE!"
"It's critical that we as hero's know our limits, that's the first rational step into finding out what kind of hero you become." Everyone was excited at the fact that they could use their quirks freely in the test, how they would soon regret their choice of words. "Since you all seem to be so excited, let me tell you something about these tests. The student that has the lowest score, I will deem hopeless and will be expelled from the hero course and at UA." The shouting and cheering from the students was quickly shut down at his words.
"The one with the lowest score is expelled… even if it's the first day, isn't that extreme?!" He was a short boy with what looked like purple balls for hair, a pale tan complexion. Something about this boy unnerved Izuku in a wrong way, and more than him looking like a teenage baby too. Aizawa looked at the small boy before listing off unfair and dangerous events that happen on the basis. "The world is filled with unfairness: Natural disasters, highway pileups, rampaging villains, even death of innocent people. We as hero's face these situations and more on a daily basis and it's our job to relieve as much of these problems as we can."
Running his hand through his hair, he gave the students his full attention which gave most of them chills. "For the next three years, U.A holds your future within its hands and will put you through the ringer. Now let's begin." What followed was the start of the eight events, starting with the fifty meter dash.
Izuku watched as everyone went in pairs with the fastest being from the tall blue-haired kid, followed by Bakugo. When it was his turn to go against the small teenager with purple balls for hair, Izuku decided to not use any chakra reinforcement on this one and use his natural speed. What followed shocked everyone there and angered Bakugo with a time of two seconds flat. When he regrouped with the others, he could feel Aizawa's eyes on him but focused back on the mission at hand. The next event was the standing long jump, where he noticed that himself, Bakugo and Asui did better than anyone else. Next was the sidestepping where Izuku got second and was surprised to see the smallest of the group use two of his balls and bounce off them at an insane speed for his body.
Moving inside the gymnasium, Izuku made his way to Mina and Ochako. "How's it going girls?" They looked up at him and made room so he could walk between them.
"Not too bad. I feel like we are doing better than we would have if we hadn't trained with you before this." Mina agreed with Ochako, remembering something they noticed during the events. Making sure no one was really paying attention to them to hear, Mina leaned closer and whispered her question, knowing Izuku would hear her. "You haven't used your ability have you yet, more than likely thinking you don't need to… right?" Izuku nodded his head, knowing that if they noticed then Aizawa also noticed with all the starring he's been doing.
"Next is the grip strength, step up and grab a dynamometer. I'll come around and record your score." Izuku thought about using chakra but seeing his score he thought otherwise, glancing at the big guy beside him and his score which was a little lower than his own. 'Imagine if I actually gripped it with my full strength without chakra, I'll break the machine…' Scoring first in Grip strength, everyone moved on to the next event, upper body training that consisted of crunches, push-ups and pull ups. Taking first in all three events for the Upper Body potion, he could feel his home room teacher's eyes on him but when he looked he the pro hero was heading outside with everyone following him.
'Only the Endurance running and ball throw left.' Izuku thought before he was interrupted by an unpleasant scene, involving a small teen with purple balls for hair. He glanced over to Aizawa to see he also saw it and planned to get back at him, no one gets close to his friends perversely and gets away with it. "Looks like someone is jealous…" He heard Matatabi say singly with the other laughing, even Kurama was laughing with a chuckle. Izuku blocked them out and focused on what he needed to do as they were doing the endurance run now.
Everyone lined up at the start, Izuku quickly and secretly flashed through five hand signs. 'Let's see if he can run from the nine devils!' Right as the whistle blew everyone started to run, all except one who seemed to be paralyzed with fear. Pale faced and sweating up a storm, as Izuku was in the lead he released the boy from the genjutsu where he now looked with fear in his eyes as he looked around trying to find the nine huge monsters that were just chasing him. "Minoru Mineta, you're disqualified. Stand over to the right and wait for everyone to finish." Izuku heard Aizawa say, smirking widely.
'That'll show you to stare at the girls' butts like that, next time I'll show you what happens when I appear in your dreams!' The greenette thought with an evil chuckle and smile, the Bijū's sweat dropping at their friends' weird thoughts.
One by one the students were dropping, two of them stopping on lap five and three on lap six. After lap twenty five it was down to the blue haired guy and Izuku still in the running, whereas the blue haired guy started to feel it unlike Izuku. He had decided to stick with the engine quirk boy since it was a good pace and after lap fifty, it seemed he was done as he leaned on his knees to stop and catch his breath and bearings. Izuku kept on for another ten laps maxing out at sixty since they didn't have all day for him to get tired. He could hear Ochako and Mina cheer for him, and he gave them high fives as well as congratulating them for making it to lap fifteen.
He walked over and shook hands with the other guy who's name was Ida Tenya, a pretty chill dude that only looked stuck up. They talked a little bit as they walked back to the ball throwing pit they were earlier, and split off so Izuku could make his way back to his two female friends. "Since Bakugo has already gone, the next student may come and throw the baseball." One by one the students came up to throw the baseball using everything they got into this last event. Izuku knew right away that he would be getting second place seeing Ochako set up and activate her quirk but that only made him excited to see where he placed before sweat dropping at Aizawa showing them the infinity sign.
Walking up to the circle and receiving a ball Izuku stood in the center of the circle before channeling a good potion of chakra to his arm. Everyone could faintly see a blue glow come from his arm, their first actual glimpse of this person's quirk. Mina and Ochako both smiled to see it, having only seen it a handful of times after the entrance exam. They found it weird that he hardly talked about his own quirk or used it, but explained that he didn't need his quirk for everything, he was different from most people they met and knew.
'… This should be enough to secure second place.' It happened within seconds, with a throw that sounded like a bomb exploding, they saw the clouds split and disappear and had to cover their eyes due to the wind caused by the throw kicking up the dirt. Aizawa had his eyes locked on the ball's distance watching the numbers increase by the second for two minutes before looking at Izuku and breaking out into a grin, turning it around for the others to see. "ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND METERS!" The highest score by landslide, shocking everyone including Mina and Ochako.
While the students were still shocked, Aizawa saw Izuku flex his hands with a frown before walking away from the pit and high-fiving his two friends. 'It's more than a mere physical boost, it's something on a whole new level… Uzumaki Izuku, what is your true quirk?'
After a few minutes of calculating everyone's scores, everyone got to see where they stood as well as seeing who got last… "WHAT!" Everyone looked down at the small boy who was on his hands and knees looking down at the ground in despair. "My dream… all the naked women… gone…" even if they wanted to feel bad they couldn't, not after what he just said and his previous behavior.
Aizawa walked to the group and gathered their attention, all but the depressed boy. "As everyone can tell, this was all about pushing yourselves and to see where everyone stood among their peers, as well as to see if you all belong in U.A. About what I said, the person who scores last will be kicked out, it was a lie to see if you could push through the pressure…" Mineta looked hopeful and slightly rejuvenated at that, maybe he wasn't out of his dream yet. "…Minoru Mineta, out of everyone here, you showed the least amount of potential as well as the drive to continue in U.A or any other hero school for that matter." And then he was thrown off a metaphorical cliff, his dreams shattered in front of his very eyes.
"Not only that but you also showed behavior that was unfitting of a hero and will cause problems with others in the future, having no doubt this personality of yours will never change no matter how hard I or anyone else tries. Grab your things and exit off the perimeter by the end of the day or else you will be forced off by legal matters. Everyone else, head back to the classroom, we have to get you prepared for the next three years of your life." Not sparing them a second glance, Aizawa disappeared around the corner heading back to his room.
Everyone else started to leave one by one after a few more seconds to see where they stood and who was at the top. It wasn't a surprise to many who had witnessed the greenette during the events but it was still something during the last event, the ball throw, seeing him talk to the two females that seem to almost be stuck to him like glue. This didn't go unnoticed to the other girls either as they could see it in the way they talked and acted, they really like Izuku on a deeper level. Mineta didn't receive any sympathy from anyone as they passed him as if he wasn't even there to begin with, nor did they care for what that meant for his future either.
Izuku smirked as he passed the purplenette and decided to give him a last parting gift, afterall, he had a personal grudge on the boy after what he saw in the boy's eyes as he stared at his two best friends. It was for only an instant and only directed at the perverted teen but it had the desired effects, he didn't need to see to know the fear he just inflicted on his mind but he didn't care.
Once everyone arrived and sat down, he started writing a few words on the board before he turned back to face the class. "Who can explain the meaning of these words?" They were fairly simple words: Uncertain Situations, Area Situations, and Collaboration.
"They are what Pro hero's need to understand for them to be successful in this line of work."Izuku said standing up. "Uncertain Situation means the date and time a disaster happened since we can never certainly say when it will, we have to be flexible for an ever changing day. Area Situations is the vicinity in which the event happened, builds, landmarks, bystanders, victims. These are all examples of what Pro's have to count for in a second, especially damage to the surrounding area. Collaboration is working with hero's who you either just met or know but have met up at that spot, using your quirk to either limit the cause of the disaster, stop civilians from closing in the scene, fight the cause and much more. A Hero, no matter how experienced one might be, must be able to work with other heroes in the best possible fashion."
"Exactly, which leads me to the reason why I wrote this. Class 1A and 1B will be having combat training the first week of every month together, each class will be going against each other and be mixed into teams and challenge each other in various events each day." Just then the door opened and came in what they could only assume was 1B, and Izuku was surprised to see someone he knew among them. "Good afternoon, 1A, I'm VladKing, the home room teacher of 1B. I can see that Aizawa has already briefed you on what is going to happen here for the next couple of months. This is something that's new to U.A as you wouldn't really be getting into this til you were a second year to third year but change is unstoppable."
"We don't have all day Vlad, we need introductions and get them prepared for next week. For the next hour and a half, I want all thirty-eight of you to introduce yourselves. Go." Everyone quickly started to disperse and talk, afterall, they needed to know each other if they were going to work with each other every month. Izuku quickly made his way behind an orange girl who was talking to Momo and a girl with green thorn-like hair, making sure Momo didn't notice him, he leaned down to her ear and blew in it. A girlish squeal was all the three of them heard before she turned around getting ready to murder whoever did that but stopped when she saw him, his arms open waiting for a hug which was so received.
"Izuku-san, I'm glad to see you're in the U.A! Why didn't you tell me you were applying here?" Kendo exclaimed, stepping back to get a good look at him. "You've hardly changed since we last met." Izuku only scratched the back of his head sheepishly while grinning, looking at his left and right to see Ochako and Mina looking between the two.
"This is Kendō Itsuka, a friend I helped before the Entrance exams, except that I didn't know she was going to apply to a Hero school, much less U.A. The one on my right is Uraraka Ochako and the one on the left is Ashido Mina, we became friends after the Entrance exams and spent time over the summer." Izuku said introducing his friends to each other, before excusing himself when seeing a beast type person with brown fur covering his person.
Ochako, Mina and Itsuka stared at each other while Momo and the vine-like hair girl stared at them in confusion. "It's a pleasure to meet you Uraraka-san, Ashido-san." The orange haired girl said, holding out her hand for them to shake. "Same here, Kendō-san." The both of them said, shaking her hand, the three of them smiling at each other. What followed for the next couple of minutes was silence that made Momo and the other girl get uncomfortable, it was like they were waiting for something but the two bystanders didn't know what.
"So you met Izu-kun before coming to U.A, how did you two meet?" Kendō looked at Mina wondering if she could even out right tell her since she herself wasn't sure Izuku wanted anyone to know what happened in the forest, but she also didn't want to lie since it seems Izuku really liked them and wanted to make them her friends as well. "We met during my Coming of Age training trip, where we are sent with only what is needed to survive in the forest just outside east of the city, and it seemed he was also at the time training." So they met while they were training for the entrance exam they thought, glad it wasn't something extreme.
"So how did you two meet him, especially since it happened to be during the Entrance Exam." Now it was their turn to think of an answer since Izuku wanted them to keep what they knew a secret till he was ready. "He saved our lives from being disqualified during the practical exam…" Mina said, passing on the rest to Ochako. "… And then as a thank you, we promised to buy him lunch the next day. We've hung out over the past few months following that." It was believable and something that she could see Izuku doing, he probably didn't even care about the consequences that would follow if it meant he could save someone.
They continued to talk and ask questions which were mainly about Uzumaki Izuku, which, after fifteen minutes, the three of them came to the same conclusion. 'She/they…'
"Ladies, sorry about that. I saw a student with a transformation quirk and I just had to know more, you wouldn't believe what I got!" Izuku exclaimed as he brought out his notebook that said 'Quirk Analysis for the future! Vol.30'
Once time was up, there was only an hour before classes ended and they would be shown to their dorm rooms, where they would be living for the next three years. "The last thing we have today is the layout of the school, where you can and are not allowed to go for whatever reason. You will each grab a map and sit back down so I can explain to you some things that have changed this year." The map covered more land than anyone in the class thought, claiming the entire mountain it sat on, the forest from top to bottom, and even the air space above it. Most of the map was covered in red which was obviously meant to be restricted areas they weren't allowed to go to, and then everything else was in green.
"Areas that are marked red are places students are not allowed to go, whether it be unsupervised or staff only. Areas marked green are places students are allowed to enter on their free time and during hours before lights. Lights will be at twenty-one hundred, nine pm, you are expected to get to class on your own by eight am. It's only a twenty minute walk so I do not want a single student to be late or they will receive a punishment, unless you either have permission to be absent and/or late. Students outside their building after lights will be punished, unless me, Vladking or another U.A Sensei has you do something and has notified me or Vlad.
"Weekends are available off campus hours from zero seven hundred to eighteen hundred, you must also check in and out at the gate with at least one other student. Your parents are allowed on base from zero eight hundred to seventeen hundred, you must also check them in and out at the gate. If your parents come on base, training ground Echo and Lima are available from parents as well as the chow hall and the dorms.
"If any student is found drinking, smoking, or doing drugs or having them in their possession, they will be expelled from U.A and be unable to get into any Hero school in this country and in any other country for that matter. Relationships are allowed but must not affect your life here on campus and must be brought to the principle, where both parties must sign a paper stating specific requirements for staying on campus and being together.
"If there is any fighting not within the training grounds or unsupervised, both parties will be held accountable and the one who started it will be held accountable for the most part. Punishments vary from community service hours to explosion, and may or may not go on your record depending on what started it. If any, and I mean any staff no matter who they are besides me, Vlad, your other sensei's or the principal tells you to do something that either goes against the school rules or seems immoral, tell one of us immediately."
After Aizawa finished his long explanation VladKing stepped up to speak. "You all will be sharing a dorm building that will be divided in half by home room, connected to a joint common area for everyone as well as a shared kitchen and dining room. The building is then split for boys and girls, with their own bathrooms connecting each individual's personal room. There will be no elicited acts against each other while in any U.A building and doing so is punishable, which is then decided by the principle and the victim. There will be no off campus personnel on campus during school days, mail is delivered every day but Sunday. The chow hall is open on the weekends and if you need to talk to a teacher about a subject or such, it needs to be during school hours.
"When we leave in just a minute to head to the dorms, your sensei's will be there to meet and greet. Lessons start tomorrow at zero eight hundred as Aizawa said, other than that, grab your stuff and wait outside the building." It took an hour for all thirty eight new U.A students to have all their stuff and gathered outside the building where two buses were currently waiting, where they were told to get into the buses by class. "It's going to be a five minute drive so you best remember the way we're going right now and keep the campus map on you, we won't always meet in the class for homeroom and other classes may be instructed outside the school building as well so keep that in mind."
Izuku sat at the back with Ochako and Mina in the middle with the rest of the girls, it seemed he wanted to be alone and everyone could see it too as he had his eyes closed with his head down. It looked like he was sleeping but he was actually entering his mindscape to see a vast field where trees covering a majority of the area with a mountain range that had a massive waterfall attached to it, a big lake and a small area of just hot blazing sand. He was told that these places were similar to where they lived years ago before they met Naruto, and it was still breathtaking to see what his fathers home was like to some point.
"I don't see why you didn't do worse for what the insignificant thing did, I personally would have ended that insect in the most painful way imaginable." Izuku heard Kurama say behind him, in his human sized fox form. It was a tempting offer but it wasn't right, that should be a late resort should it come to that and he didn't know if he could do that to anyone but he would if he didn't have a choice. "While he may be scum, I planted fear into him so he got what he deserved."
"Like father like son, Naruto used to do the exact same thing to his opponents. What now?" That was a good question, he only had a few minutes before he had to go back to the real world. They would most likely settle into the dorms for the day and get right into business tomorrow since that was what Mirio had told him, they also got the chance to redecorate their own rooms to their liking so he was excited for that. But he also needed to find out that strange signature he felt earlier today during the quirk test Aizawa had them do, it reacted to his chakra and he needed to know what that meant. "We'll need to track down that signature from earlier, maybe there are other people who could use chakra or possibly be able to wield it.
"There ain't any people who have chakra here in this world, they may have something similar but nothing as strong as chakra. The most likely case is that this person is like you, having the potential to use it." It was going to be a long week with everything from classes to finding the person Izuku sensed to training without destroying the area. It was time to take a leap forward after today and one step closer to his dream.
I'm back after so long, it's been crazy this year. Finished boot camp and now into my job training, writing new stories I'm about to post this weekend I think if everything goes well.
How was it? Good? Bad? Need some work after not writing for so long? Well, tell me what you think in the comments and I have a list for those who are going to be with Uzumaki Izuku. CHRIS8477, it seems we had the same idea! They say great minds think alike and it must be true, thank you for reading and following if you are!
The possibility list can mean a lot, there could have a massive impact on him or have some connection to him.
Next time on Izuku's Shinobi Life:
Izuku shows more of his skills, why he's ranked first among everyone against his opponents, who this person is that he's trying to find and the coming evil that isn't dead yet. A step toward comes with both good and bad situations, how will this change the course of everything we thought we knew??
