Notes: phew! work really has been a pain. Due to my schedule I haven't had the time to knock out as much as i wanted. But as my promise to keep it weekly i am here with more content. Enjoy!

Katara stared at herself in the mirror for what felt like an hour, taking in the outfit she wore. The gray UA uniform that was sent to the home fit her body perfectly, the jacket contouring her shape down her sides. The skirt she could have gone without, but being school dress code she figured not to argue it. The one thing that mattered the most to all of this was the fact it was a school uniform to the place she wanted to go.

Hero school.

She couldn't help but smile in amusement to hearing that. After simply doing the right thing where she came from, now she was going to a school to learn more about saving people and how to do it.

"Seems like it would be pretty obvious." She mumbled to herself as she grabbed her backpack and carried it out of her room. She entered the main hall and found Tenya already waiting for her by the door, poised and ready to go as he put his hands to his hips.

"Well Katara, today is the day that we both join the ranks of other future heroes and learn how to become pros!" he shouted out in glee as the waterbender chuckled at him.

"Yes it's a big day for both of us. I am ready for this, too." she responded.

"Shall we get going? We do not want to be late on our first day."

"Yes, let's go."

"Wait! Wait!"

Both of them flipped around at the sudden call, and they were met with a bright flash catching them off guard. "What the- mother!"

Madoka was there with a camera in hand and a giant grin on her face. "Oh this is so exciting! My little baby and his friend have gotten into UA together, and in the same class as well!"

Katara sighed but smiled at the woman's happiness. "Yeah I feel a little better that I know at least one person in my class."

"Indeed, it is quite lucky we both are together." Tenya agreed. "And we must get going, mother. We should not be late for our first day."

"Well that is why I am here. I will be driving you to school!" Madoka cheered.

"Uhh mother it is quite alright." Tenya responded. "We can get on the train quite quickly."

"Oh nonsense. It's your first day and I have to be on the road anyway. Besides it will be much faster." Madoka held her finger up. "And no exceptions."

As she walked away, Katara raised an eyebrow at Tenya's deadpanned face. "She really is determined when something's on her mind, huh?"

The ride to UA in the car certainly was much faster than the walk, getting there in less than ten minutes. Now katara was a bit disappointed this couldn't be there way everyday now, but would take what she could get. The large structure that was their school came into view as Madoka pulled along the curb with the other cars. Once she stopped, the elder woman looked back behind her, her eyes sparkling through her glasses. "Alright you two, I hope you have a good day!"

"Thank you mother." Tenya responded and opened the car door.

"Yes, thank you." Katara nodded and followed Tenya out.

Before she got all the way out, Madoka suddenly gasped. "Oh, Katara, wait! I almost forgot."

"Huh? What is it?" Katara watched as Madoka was digging through her purse, suddenly pulling out a small rectangular item. Her eyes widened when she realized what it was. "Wait, is that…"

"Yep, your own phone." Madoka smiled and held it out for her. "Tensei bought it last night. In case there are emergencies and you need to get a hold of us."

Katara was silent as she reached and pulled the phone towards herself. She had seen them use the phones on multiple occasions, but she herself had never really tested them out herself. She stared at the item a few moments, actually enjoying the way it fit into her hand perfectly. She smiled and gave a bow forward. "Thank you so much."

"You are very welcome. Just keep it on you for when you need it. Plus if there is a cute boy, don't forget to give him your number.''

Katara felt her cheeks warm as Madoka chuckled and gave a wink before driving off. She stood there phone in hand on the sidewalk, her eyes drifting down to the item she held. She sighed and slipped it in her pocket. "Guess I'll have to figure this out soon."

She turned behind her to the large school, the place that would be her place of study from now on. It was nothing to what she had ever expected she would be doing, although she never expected to end up in another world. She took a deep breath and stepped forward, not sure if she was prepared for what she was getting herself into, but now she would face it no matter what.

"I'm ready for this." she sternly said to herself as she walked after Tenya into the school.

The two of them walked down the large hallways into campus. Katara's eyes noticing the dozens of other students she passed by, staring at the many different kinds of people she was going to be in school with. She tried seeing if there was anyone else she had seen before, but so far none that she had seen during her entrance exam were here. After another minute or so, they came onto a giant door with a large 1-A on the front of it.

Tenya smiled and looked back towards her. "This is it, Katara. This is our class here."

Katara nodded but never took her eyes off the massive door. "Why is this thing so big?"

"Well there are chances that there could be very large students that made it into UA, so they have to compensate."

Not wanting to think much about it, she shrugged and watched as he opened the door to the class. It slid open, revealing the room they would call home for the next year. Inside there were already other students in their seats and talking among the others. Her eyes went around, noticing the blonde boy in front with a large tail coming out from behind him. Another… uh she wasn't sure since it was just a floating set of clothes seated down. That she would have to check out later for sure. She then turned and-

"Oh wow! You are here!"

Katara yelped as a flash of pink hopped in front of her, the familiar yellow eyes filled with excitement. The waterbender sighed when she recognized who it was. "Hey Ashido. That's amazing you made it too. I'm glad."

"I know right? It's cool we are in the same class too!" Mina responded happily. "And what about you? I saw you got the highest score in the entrance exams. That is unbelievable!"

"Thanks. I had no idea about those rescue points they gave out…" Katara responded. "… I saw you got some too for helping me in the end."

"Yeah, but not much." Mina gave a small frown, "Probably took some points off for my little stunt."

"Oh I'm sure it wasn't that much."

"Oh well. I'm here at least, and look who else got in as well." Mina smirked and pointed behind her.

Katara looked passed the pink girl and caught a glimpse of a familiar bird head sitting in the back. "Tokoyami is in here too?" She said with surprise.

"Yeah I saw with his rescue points and battle points he scored second. Talk about some tough quirks in one class!" Mina cheered.

Tokoyami took notice of Katara looking at him, a small smirk forming on his beak as he nodded towards her. She followed suit and returned the gesture, a little happier to see a few familiar faces in her class at least. Her eyes then caught a glimpse of something behind Tokoyami, making her mind suddenly block out all other senses.

'Wait… did I just.' she whispered internally as her head shifted to the left to get a better view, but when she did, she felt her heart stop when something from her past came in her line of sight. Her breath came in quick gasps as sweat began forming on her neck, her eyes locking onto the familiar scar that she had seen so many times on her friend and former enemy.

"Z-Zuko?"

Mina tilted her head in confusion to the sudden change in Katara's persona. "Uh, you okay?"

The waterbender didn't even hear her as she stared at the boy in the back of the room. After a few moments she realized it wasn't her friend sitting there. His half red and white hair hung like Zuko's, but he was shorter in height and eyes two different colors. But what shocked her was the familiar burn that was over the left eye, the same side as Zuko's. She was lucky he was looking elsewhere, for she couldn't take her eyes off of him. The only thing that broke her focus was the sudden snap in front of her face.

"Hello, is anyone home?" Mina annoyingly asked. "You went full statue for a bit."

Katara shook her head and breathed a few more times. "Oh s-sorry. I just…" She exhaled once again as her eyes finally left the scarred boy. "Thought I saw an… old friend."

"Hmm?" Mina turned around and looked behind their bird friend, a large smirk growing across her face. "Oh, you looking at the hot boy in the back? I noticed him too."

Katara glared at her. "I'm looking because he looks like a friend from my home. Who is he?"

"Well only the hotshot of the school." Mina said with a big smile. "That's Shoto Todoroki. He got in through recommendations."

"Recommendations?" Katara suddenly remembered the room she walked by after the exam, and who she ran into. Her mind started spinning as she looked back to the boy in back, his left side suddenly reminding her of the flame hero.

"So… that is… Endeavor's son?" she hesitantly asked.

"yep, that's crazy how we have the kid of the number two hero in our class, huh?"

Katara kept her eyes on the boy, now somewhat cautious what kind of person he was going to be. She then noticed the empty seat to his left in the back, her heart beginning to race faster as she began hoping what she thought wasn't going to be true. She then pulled out the small entrance sheet that had been sent to her a few days ago with the school uniform. She looked it over until she found the arranged seat section, seeing a number ten there. She looked up to the desks from the left and saw five in the row, and the next row there were-

"You've got to be kidding me…"

Her desk was in the back row, and right next to this Todoroki.

"Can this get any worse?" She mumbled to herself.

"Ah what's your problem? Your old school shove a stick up your ass or something?"

the sudden shouting from the other side of the room made Katara turn her head, and felt her shoulders slump even more. "Now this really did get worse…"

Tenya was arguing with that same blonde kid she had encountered right before her exam, his mouth curled in a massive grin.

"Ah Sobe huh, so you think you're better than me. I'm gonna have fun tearing you a new one." Bakugo laughed as he watched Tenya's eyes widen in shock.

"You'd threaten me? Your own classmate!? Are you sure you are in the right school?" The stunned Iida shot back.

Katara rubbed her forehead as she tried to contemplate everything that was happening to her. First she is sat next to the son of the man who would be happy with Azula as his daughter, and now she was also in class with that angry kid that threatened to kill her before. What a great start to her school days.

"Uh, e-excuse m-me."

Hearing the stutter behind her, Katara turned and was met facing the familiar green hair she had seen at the entrance as well. She then noticed she was blocking the doorway and chuckled. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be in the way." She watched as his face suddenly turned a burning red as he spoke to him. "You okay?"

"N-no no! Y-you'e fine!" Midoriya buried his face in his arms as he turned away from her, sweat already pouring down his face.

"Uhh… Okay then." Katara just sat in confusion as the stuttering mess in front of her couldn't even look at her. 'Jeez, has he ever talked to a girl before?'

"Ah, so I see you have made it here, too." Tenya came stomping towards the green haired mop passed his friend. "I am Tenya Iida. You were in my testing group at the entrance exam."

"uh y-yes I remember you!" Midoriya waved his hands rapidly as his nerves blew through the roof.

"Midoriya, both you and my friend Katara here knew there was more to the exam…" Tenya closed his eyes and shook in frustration to admitting the truth. "I misjudged you. As students, you both are superior to me!"

Katara sweatdropped at her friends bluntness. "You need to work on your introductions, Iida." She then turned to the boy and smiled. "As you heard from my friend, I am Katara. And you are… Midoriya?"

Not even able to speak, Midoriya just stood frozen as the blue eyed girl talked to him, 'Holy crap, this beautiful girl introduced herself to me! And she said my name!'

"Hey I remember you. Falling boy!"

Izuku felt his blood boil in embarrassment as he looked behind him and saw the same girl he saved in the entrance exam, taking everything he could not to feint. 'Two cute girls talking to me!? High school is so crazy!'

As the four of them talked and introduced themselves, Bakugo's eyes focused on Izuku, a hatred burning inside of his chest.

'Deku… you little bastard. I don't know what the fuck you did, but I'll figure out how you got in here." He then looked to the tan girl next to his childhood classmate, his teeth clenching tighter. 'And that bitch. Who the hell is she? She passed me in the entrance exam. I'm not gonna let that slide.'

Feeling eyes on her, Katara turned around and met eyes with the enraged Bakugo. They both glared at each other, Bakugo sneering and looking away first. Katara took a deep inhale and sighed. She would have to watch out for him.

"So I really am excited for all this!" the young girl Uraraka said as she continued on her happy rant. "I'm curious what our teacher is like. This is gonna be so much fun!"

"If you are here just to make friends, you can pack up your stuff now and leave."

All four of the students by the door froze to the flat and cold voice coming from the hall. Their eyes all turned to see… A large yellow sleeping bag? The only thing that told it was a person was the raggedy black hair and bloodshot eyes poking out the opening.

"It took eight seconds for you all to be quiet. Time is precious and you just wasted some of it." The tired voice of the man came out as he unzipped the bag, his worn clothes hanging off his body as he walked towards the now silent class.

"Hello, I'm Shota Aizawa, you're homeroom teacher." He drearily declared to them all.

"Teacher?" Katara questioned out loud as the exhausted looking man came in. 'This guy is going to teach us? He looks like he doesn't even want to be here!'

Aizawa ignored the whispers the students were giving out to each other as he reached in his sleeping bag and pulled out a blue tracksuit. "Alright, lets just do this. Put these on and meet me outside…"

As she changed in the girls locker room, Katara looked down at herself as the new blue tracksuit slipped on perfectly over her body. She eyed it curiously as she looked to Mina next to her. "So both our school uniforms and our practice outfits all look the same?"

"Yep, that's school policy for you." Mina answered as she slipped on her tracksuit.

"Didn't your school have the same thing where you went?"

Katara turned to the voice behind her, seeing a tall girl looking down at her. Her black, spiky ponytail stuck out behind her reminding her of a porcupig from her own world. Ignoring the odd visual, katara shook her head. "Well, no. I didn't go to school here."

The girl's eyes widened when she realized who she was talking to. "Wait, you're the exchange student that got first at the entrance exams? I heard so much about you from the others!"

"You did?" Katara asked.

"Yes. Most of the kids are talking about you. It's amazing your score!" the tall girl gave a small bow. "Momo Yaoyorozu. Pleasure to meet you."

Katara smiled and nodded her head. "Kairi Katara. Same to you. What did you get in the entrance Score?"

"Oh mine was different than yours. I was entered through recommendations." Momo responded as she took off her jacket.

"recommendations? You mean you were…" Katara's words faded when she watched Momo remove her shirt and reveal… quite the chest for a girl their age.

'I-I mean that doesn't matter about who people are but…' Katara subconsciously crossed her arms covering her own, smaller size, '… Damn that's unfair!'

"You okay?" Momo asked.

"Oh… sorry lost in thought for a second." Katara forced a smile as tried to ignore the sight below the girls neckline. "So recommendations was a different test than what we did?"

"Yes, that is where a larger name agency or pro put in their request for certain students to enter UA." Momo clenched her fist and brought it to her chest. "It is now my responsibility to do my best and excel since others gave me this chance!"

Katara raised an eyebrow at the girls determination. 'Okay… she's Iida if he was a girl.' she said to herself as her mind kept going back to that flame hero and what he said to her back then. "So… your test was with Todoroki?"

"Yes, he was pretty quiet, but had so much focus. He scored at the top of recommendations I believe." Momo responded.

"I see.''

"I saw your score, too. That was for sure something!" Uraraka added from the side, already dressed in her track suit. "I heard some of the others saw you in action and you were amazing."

"I feel like I barely got in, and you simply blew through the test…" another short haired girl with jacks hanging from her ear said, "...That's really cool. Kyoka Jiro by the way."

Katara smiled and nodded. "Thanks, and I-

"Glad to meet you too! I'm Hagakure!"

Katara yelped in surprise by the floating UA uniform in front of her, realizing it was another girl… or what she assumed should have been one there. "H-hi there. Same here."

The final girl in the locker room caught Katara's eyes was one with large buggy eyes and wide mouth. Her green hair hung long down her hunched body. Not wanting to be rude, Katara nodded towards her too. "And nice to meet you, too. I'm Kairi Katara."

"Thank you…'' the girls raspy voice responded. "I'm Asui, but you can call me Tsu."

"Tsu? I'll remember that." Katara smiled and stood up from the bench and started walking out with the other girls. "So what do you think he's making us do?"

Uraraka shrugged her shoulders. "I have no idea. These are their suits they use for physical training, but this is only the first day of school."

Looking back forward, Katara followed as the other girls exited the locker room to a large outdoor field. Multiple different areas were designated for what looked like a range of different things people could use for training. Just passed all of those things were the rest of the other students all gathered together in front of the tired looking teacher. She walked over and stood next to Iida in the center of the group.

"So has he told you what we are all out here for?" she asked her friend.

Tenya shook his head. "No he has not. I am quite confused as well."

"If you all would shut up I can get this over with fast." Aizawa sighed to the chatter. "I brought you all here for a quirk assessment test."

"A quirk assessment test?" Most of the students questioned together.

"Yes, most of you have been doing standardized testing most of your lives, but you were never able to use your quirks in physical exams." Aizawa reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone and what looked like a ball. "But here I get to run my class the way I see fit."

The ragged teacher walked towards the students and popped his neck. "Bakugo, what was your record for the softball throw in Junior high?"

Bakugo raised his eyebrow to the question. "sixty seven meters, I think."

"Alright, now try that with your quirk." Aizawa said as he tossed the ball to the blonde. "Anything goes as long as you stay in the circle."

The spiky haired blonde walked passed the teacher and into the white circle in the dirt, stretching his arms as he looked to the distance. 'Alright, I'll throw a little heat on this and drop their jaws.' He grinned as he winded back his arm and whipped it forward.

"DIE!"

A large blast erupted from his hand catapulting the ball through the sky. The rush of air reached the other students, blowing Katara's hair back behind her face. Her eyes widened as she watched the dissipating explosion in front of her. Her mind went back to the three eyed bounty hunter she and her friends faced back in her world, except this kid could shoot those explosions out of his hands like a bender. She took a deep breath and frowned internally.

Things just kept getting better.

As the ball seemingly disappeared beyond their sight, Aizawa turned back to the crowd. "All of you need to know your maximum capabilities. That's the most rational way of determining your potential as a pro hero." He lifted the phone to the class revealing 705.2 meters.

"woah thats crazy! Over seven hundred!?" a spiky red haired kid exclaimed.

"Wow that looks fun, I wanna try it!" Mina yelled out in excitement.

"Fun?" Aizawa's cold gaze went to the happy pink girl. "You think this is all going to be fun and games here? Not so likely. Today you will compete in eight physical tests to see your potential." His mouth curled up into a dark grin at the quiet students. "Whoever comes in last will have none, and will be expelled immediately."

All of the students gasped in shock at the sudden revelation they had learned, many of their mouths hung open in disbelief.

"What, you can't do that! It's the first day of school, that isn't fair!" Uraraka complained.

"Fair? The world isn't a fair place for any of you…" Aizawa shot back as he stepped forward. "I run this class my way. Understand? If any of you have a problem with that. You can leave now and go home."

Many of the kids were feeling the pressure coming onto them now, afraid of what may come. But Katara took a deep breath as she clenched her fists. She had her own struggles with her bending master in the beginning, and she wasn't about to let this slow her down. She swallowed hard and readied herself.

Test 1: 50 Meter Dash

The class of students waited in pairs as two at a time sprinted down a small track as fast as they could. Katara was standing next to a taller boy who went by the name Sero, and noticed his odd looking elbows that stuck out awkwardly. She didn't want to be rude though and tried not to stare at them and instead looked to the track Where Iida and Tsu were. And in the next moment, they were off.

Tenya of course took the lead, his legs launching him down the track in an instant. She then watched as Tsu hopped across the ground like a large frog, hence what Katara simply assumed her quirk was as well. In a rush of air, Tenya of course finished first with 3.04 seconds and Tsu with a 5.58.

"Kinda figured he was going to finish first." She chuckled to herself as her and Sero lined up next.

The tall boy next to her grinned and crouched into position, pointing his right elbow forward. "Hey, no hard feelings about who gets first."

Katara simply smiled and popped her canteen open. "Same here."

At the sound of the timer, they kicked off. Katara immediately bended her water to her feet and rushed herself forward, shooting her across the dirt. Her eyes noticed a weird strip shoot passed her body and latch onto the ground ahead. Not wanting to be distracted, she looked straight ahead and kicked harder. She seemingly water skiing over the grounds surface, pushing her body faster and passed the timer at the end first between the two of them.

"4.35 seconds!" the machine called out.

"5.22 seconds!"

Katara skidded to a stop at the and looked over to her opponent, his face simply amazed at her time. "Huh. Not bad." he admitted.

"Thanks." she responded. As she walked to the side, she noticed that Todoroki was next against Tokoyami, and immediately she was intrigued. She stepped to the side and watched as the two of them lined up.

'Tokoyami has his shadow power…' she said to herself as they both crouched down, her eyes focused on the red and white haired boy, '...but I've seen how fast firebenders are pushing themselves.' When the timer sounded off however, she was left wide eyed as Shoto launched forward, and something very different came out from behind him.

"Ice!?" She said out loud in shock as Shoto blasted down the line as a trail of ice pushed his body along the track leading the pair.

"4.04 seconds!"

"4.35 seconds!"

'He doesn't have fire? But his father does…" Katara said to herself as he walked by her, his face stricken of any emotion. For someone who was the child of a top hero, a powerful quirk, and seemingly had life for himself going, she couldn't help but notice the same look she had seen on her own friend back in her world. One that was always looking for something to fill an empty void in his life. And judging by the scar he received, she was thinking perhaps he had a scolding from his father he would never forget.

'Maybe… he won't be like Azula….' She whispered inside, in fact hoping he could somehow be like the person she once knew.

She would have to try and talk to him later. But for now, she looked back as more classmates took their turns sprinting down the line to not lose this chance at being cut. And she had seven more tests ahead of her.

What she didn't realize however… were two sets of eyes staring at her.

First, Midoriya couldn't take his eyes off of the tan girl standing on the side of the track watching the others run down the line. Yes she was definitely cute, for sure. Any boy would be an idiot not to have her catch their eye. But there was something else. Something that kept bugging him from the moment he saw her. And when he watched her use the water, it started eating at him more.

'I don't know why, but there's something about her…' he whispered internally, his hand grabbing his chin, '...but it's like… I've seen her before from somewhere.'

The other was of Shoto Todoroki. While he didn't appear to before, he had noticed the stares he was receiving from her. The reason he watched her however, was the same to Midoriya.

'It can't be her, there's no way. But…' his left fist clenched, eyes narrowing as he watched her, '… she looks just like her...'

Notes: ohh boy. first day of school and already dealing with tension. It only goes up from here.

While I didn't want to end after the first test, the rest would have taken too long to get to with my schedule, and I promised to keep updating weekly. Next chapter will be very interesting. Till next time!
