Chapter 19: Once more, with feeling!
I hate temporal mechanics.
-Dr. Light, Bob and George
Inko gasped, starting away from the sudden noise. "What on earth…?"
"Mom, stay back," Izuku growled, pushing his mother behind him as the frantic pounding on the door continued. It wasn't even 5am yet according to Izuku's alarm clock, so whoever was out there couldn't be someone normal. Especially not with the memories floating around in Izuku's head. He could hear muffled shouting coming through the door, and slowly moved forward.
"Izuku, maybe we should just call the police," Inko worried, wringing her hands together and glancing at the phone.
Izuku ignored that. He could handle whatever it was far more easily than the police could. He let One For All fill him, feeling the energy pulse in his tense muscles as his hand darted out and flung open the door.
Instead of the Villains or monsters he'd half expected, Izuku found two pink haired young women scuffling with one another.
"Look, I'm really sorry," the older one gasped, trying to wrestle the younger away. "I don't know what's gotten into my sister, she-"
Izuku didn't hear the rest, jumping out of the door as Mei escaped her captor and leapt into his arms.
"You were real," Mei whispered as she clung to him. "That wasn't just a dream. It did happen, because you're real." She looked up at Izuku, tears filling her odd eyes as her grip threatened to tear his shirt. "You remember me, right? Everything was real?"
"I'm real. It's okay. It really happened." Izuku breathed out, feeling the adrenaline he was running on bottom out to stark relief. After what felt like an eternity of contact, he lovingly raised his hand to Mei's cheek. Then he kissed her.
They had to break apart quickly however from the twin squawks of outrage around them, as they'd forgotten about their guardians.
"Izuku! What on earth are you-"
"Alright, hold up, what the hell is happening! Mei, I swear to God, if this is some sort of prank-"
"SHUT THE HELL UP! IT'S FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE DAMN MORNING!" A voice drowned out both his mother and presumably Mei's sister's indignation, coming from the apartment across from them.
Izuku winced, but Mei was quick to spin around and yell right back. "You be quiet! We are doing something very important!"
"I DON'T CARE! SHUT UP OR I'M CALLING THE DAMN COPS!"
"Er, Mei, maybe we should go inside," Izuku said. After carefully taking his hands away from her sides, he even managed a quick bow to her apparent older sister. "Um, hello. You must be Hari Hatsume. Please, come inside."
"Yeah, ok," Hari sighed. "Jesus. What the hell, Mei? This is weird even for you."
Izuku stepped back inside, arm in arm with Mei, where his mother was still staring at him, her mouth hanging open. He swallowed. "Um, mom, this is Mei. She, um, she's my-"
"I'm his wife! We got married. I am sorry we did not invite you," Mei said proudly.
Behind Izuku, Mei's sister suddenly let out a stream of unrepeatable but highly creative expletives.
For her part, Inko groaned, then fainted dead away. Izuku managed to catch her, then quickly carried her over to the couch.
"Alright. I'm going to need a cup of coffee, then an explanation," Mei's sister ground out, glaring at Izuku and Mei. "Because I want to know how the hell my little sister, who has as far as I know never expressed the slightest interest in any boys that weren't robots, wakes up in the middle of the damn night and runs off to find some strange boy I've never seen before, and claims she married him!"
"Coffee would be good," Mei agreed tiredly, looking like her adrenaline was finally wearing off. "I am still sleepy. We did not get much sleep last night. But look! I still have my baby!"
Izuku realized that Mei had her crossbow strapped to her back, which she happily held up for Izuku to see.
"That's weird," Izuku said, frowning and thinking about how that was physically possible. "Um, watch my mom for a moment please? I'll make some coffee."
Izuku quickly found some instant coffee in the cupboard, then put on a kettle of water. By the time his mother groaned and her eyes fluttered back open, he was able to press a hot cup into her hands, feeling more awkward than ever as he languished under Hari's intense stare.
"Alright," Hari started, sipping at her cup before making a face, though it was hard to tell if it was from the taste or the topic. "Mei, start explaining."
Mei looked uncertainly at Izuku. "She does not believe me, I tried to tell her."
"Yeah, because what you were saying was pure freaking nonsense, not to mention utterly insane! Another world? Monsters? A goddess? An explosion cult? Mei, you had a messed up dream, that's all. Where does this kid come from, and who the hell is he?"
"I told you, he is Izuku!" Mei snapped. "You were not listening!"
"Um, sorry, but, yes, I'm Izuku Midoriya. This is my mother, Inko Midoriya. Um, mom, this is Mei, and her sister I think, Hari Hatsume."
"Izuku," Inko said slowly. "I'm not mad, just very, very confused. When did you get a girlfriend?"
"Um, that's sort of a long story," Izuku said. He looked at Mei for help. "Maybe we should just say we met on the internet."
"That would not work, Hari knows I do not use the internet very much, except to buy more materials for my babies," Mei said mercilessly shooting down that idea. "We should say we met at the junkyard."
"Perfect! I was cleaning up Takoba Beach for months! There was a ton of salvage there."
"Yes! I went there a few times to get supplies for my babies when I visited Hari!" Mei eagerly turned to her sister. "We met at Takoba Beach while I was looking for scrap."
Hari closed her eyes with a hand to her face and gritted her teeth. "Mei, I just heard you and this boy say you were lying and making that story up."
"Hari, you can either believe we met at the beach looking for salvage, or that we met when I was running away from the undead with my wizard friend Megumin and Izuku came with the goddess Aqua and saved us."
"Yeah, OK. two met at the beach, then." Hari grumbled and opened her eyes. She glanced at Inko. "This make any sense to you? Your kid play any weird online games or something?"
"Um, I don't think so. All he really does is study and work out," Inko admitted.
"What if I told you I met Mei while I was looking for um, school supplies? Right! We both go to UA!"
"Yes, but Hari thinks I have not started school yet, and I checked the calendar. This is the first day of school. That weird man said he was doing a rollback, I think he put us back in time," Mei pointed out with a small tilt of her head. "That would make sense, as I think I accidentally created a small blackhole which would have destroyed most of Japan, if not the Earth. It was a very big explosion after all."
"We really did go back three months then..." Izuku muttered, rubbing his forehead. "This... is insane."
"Izuku, are you talking about time travel?" Inko asked, baffled.
Izuku glanced at Mei desperately, and she simply shrugged. "Um, yes?"
"Hari, would you believe I accidentally made a super cute baby that made a hole in the space time continuum and flung Izuku and I back in time?" Mei suddenly asked.
Hari blinked slowly. "Actually, that's the first thing you've said that I would sort of buy."
"Do you have some sort of time travel Quirk?" Inko asked Mei, looking worried.
"Oh, no, my Quirk just makes my eyes very good. But I am a great inventor! I make super cute babies, like this!" Mei proudly held up her crossbow. "This one I will have to make with more advanced materials, my resources were limited when I made this one, but I do love #78 very much. Not as much as Izuku though. Did I mention we got married?"
"Um, we got married in the future," Izuku added. "We knew each other for er, a long time, and we were definitely adults."
Mei eyed Izuku sideways, but when he motioned frantically she quickly nodded. "Yes! We were 20, which is how old adults are. Hari, you were Twenty four, and you definitely had a boyfriend and were not jealous at all."
"This is completely nuts," Hari groaned. "Mom and dad are going to freaking kill me. Jesus. How am I going to explain this to them, Mei? You were just supposed to stay with me while you went to school at UA! It was supposed to be fun! You could even help me in the shop when you weren't at school, my boss was totally stoked when he heard how good of a mechanic my baby sister is!"
"Right, Mei said she's from Kyoto but you got a job here in Mufasu as a mechanic, and she was living with you to go to UA," Izuku went along with the lie. "We, er, um, we spent a lot of time together."
"Yes, we went to school together, and I made super cute babies for Izuku, and he won the Sports Festival and beat up lots of bad guys like...like…" Mei boasted before suddenly breaking down crying. zuku quickly hurried over, embracing Mei as she wept. Tears filled his own eyes.
"It's OK, Mei. Blois, Anton, all the others...they're alive, now. That guy Smith, he said he fixed it all when he did the rollback," Izuku said gently, trying to comfort Mei as much as himself. "And...and I'm sure Aqua, Megumin, Darkness, and Kazuma, they're back where they belong too, happy. And, we'll see Uraraka and Tokoyami at school."
"Will they remember us?" Mei whispered.
Just then, Izuku's phone buzzed. He drew it out of his pocket and found a text.
"Hey, this is going to sound crazy, but do you remember me? Or what happened last night?" Izuku read aloud. He grinned widely. "It's from Uraraka's number!"
"Tell her I remember her, and will make her lots of super cute babies!" Mei said quickly.
Izuku quickly typed out a reply, letting Uraraka know Mei was with him and that they both remembered.
While Izuku and Mei were talking, Inko and Hari had their own whispered conversation. Izuku looked up to see his mother looking worried, but obviously forcing herself to smile. "Izuku...I don't know what's happened, but, well, I'm, er, glad you found a girlfriend."
"Mei, I'm also happy you have a boyfriend," Hari agreed, before raising a fist threateningly. "But so help me God, I am going to kill you if you start calling yourself Mei Midoriya and telling everyone you're married!"
"Well, I'm not going to stop having sex with Izuku," Mei said bluntly. "We were married by two goddesses, so it counts."
Hari put her head in her hands, clearly struggling not to scream, while Inko took a deep breath. "Izuku, what exactly have you-"
"We're being safe, mom. We, um, we know we're not ready to have kids," Izuku reassured her with a deep blush on his face, wishing desperately this conversation never happened.
"Yes, Izuku always says the Goddess Eris Pads her chest," Mei stated as if it explained everything. Which it did, just not to the two who wanted actual answers.
Izuku blinked at the sudden reminder. "Huh. Does that still work? The Goddess Eris Pads her chest."
Izuku felt the increasingly familiar sensation and blushed, while Mei peered down at Izuku's groin expectantly.
"I'm not going to ask," Hari sighed. "Look, you're a bit young, but, well, I'd be lying if I said I didn't fool around behind mom and dad's back in highschool too. I'm still putting you on the damn pill."
"Just… don't wind up like me and your father, Izuku," Inko managed to say, wringing her hands. "We thought having a child would fix our relationship, but…"
"Don't worry mom. I know it sounds crazy, but Mei and I have been through a lot together," Izuku chuckled, not wanting to go down that path. He then stood up, sighing. "Alright, it's already morning now. Who wants breakfast?"
"Yeah, no, we're going out to eat. This coffee tastes like ass," Hari disagreed immediately, standing herself. "Shit. I'm going to have to call into work today. I think you and I have some talking to do, Mrs. Midoriya."
Sometime later, after a good deal more embarrassing and probing questions, Hari dropped Izuku and Mei off in front of UA High, half an hour before school started. "You two behave yourselves," she ordered, leaning her head out of her car. "I don't know what the hell happened yet, but, well, it seems like you care about each other at least. Have fun in the Hero Course, both of you."
"Hero course?" Mei said, frowning. "Izuku is in the hero course. I am in 1H, in the support course."
"What? No you're not! Check your damn class schedule," Hari ordered. "Look, I've gotta go, the boss won't let me call in too late because I'm still new. Take the train home, Mei, I'll see you then."
And then she drove off, leaving Izuku and Mei standing together as students filtered passed them into the school. Mei took off her backpack, digging inside the mess of papers until she found her class schedule.
"Class 1A?! This does not make sense! Izuku, you remember, I was in 1H!" Mei exclaimed, holding up the paper to him.
"Yeah, that's really weird. Didn't you take the Support Course entrance exam?" Izuku agreed, pondering where this change came from.
Mei shook her head. "No, I got a recommendation because my babies are the cutest. I remember meeting with Mr. Maijima, Hari had to drive me all the way from Kyoto. She was very excited when I got in."
"Wow, that makes sense I guess, you are the most brilliant girl I've ever seen," Izuku admitted. He suddenly started, spinning about as a student shuffled past them. "Kacchan!"
"Huh?" Bakugo looked up, appearing to have been lost in his own thoughts. "Oh. Hey, Deku."
Izuku swallowed. He'd have to start off on the right foot this time. "Listen, Kacchan, I'm sorry for hiding my quirk from you. I can't...I can't tell you much, but...but I want you to know, I still want to be friends. I look up to you, you're strong."
Bakugo looked at Izuku blankly for a moment, then shrugged. "Yeah, OK. On one condition. You quit calling me fucking Kacchan. You can call me Katsuki, I don't give a damn. But we're not five anymore, Deku."
"Well you don't call Izuku useless!" Mei snapped. "He is a hard worker, and has lots of muscles, and is very smart, and can-um, he can fight lots of bad guys!"
Bakugo frowned at Mei. "Who the fuck are you, Goggles?"
Izuku gritted his teeth to bite down an uncharacteristic instinct to shove Bakugo's teeth down his throat. "Kach-um, Katsuki, this is Mei. She's my, er, girlfriend."
"What? Since when the hell do you-" Bakugo's eyes narrowed. "Wait. You're the one, aren't you. From...right. Ok." Bakugo breathed out through his nose, looking around. "Listen. We've got to talk later, nerd. I...dammit. There's some shit we need to discuss. I don't know who all I can trust. But you're pure as a damn virgin, so-"
"Izuku is not a virgin NEET!" Mei snapped. "He is my boyfriend!"
That seemed to startle Bakugo off his train of thought. "Wait, what? Shit. I don't even-look, we'll talk later. I've got some shit to do now." With that, Bakugo walked off.
As he did so, Izuku frowned. For one thing, that was not how he remembered Bakugo behaving. Ever. For another, where had Bakugo gotten an enormous two handed axe, and why was he bringing it to school? Granted it looked shockingly natural on him, but...
"Something weird is going on," Izuku muttered as he shook his head. "Come on. Let's go figure out what's going on with your class schedule."
As it turned out, Mei really was in Class 1A now, which both of them found baffling for different reasons.
"Yes, you're in the hero course, dear, I'm quite certain," the secretary said, annoyed at the resistance towards such a coveted position. "Now please, there are still lots of students with questions about their schedules. Take a map and hurry along, class starts in a few minutes."
This left Izuku and Mei walking away, sharing confused looks.
"Well, I mean, at least we get to be in class together?" Izuku said.
"Yes, that will not be so bad, all of the kids in 1H were dumb and boring," Mei agreed. She smiled widely. "I will have three friends at school now! I have never had friends at school before! This will be great!"
"You never had friends before?" Izuku asked, feeling a pang in his chest.
Mei shrugged. "People think I am weird, and I had bad social skills, and I was in special education, and I only cared about my babies before anyway. Now, things are different."
"Really? You were in special ed too?" Izuku asked, surprised.
Mei blushed. "Um, yes. I did not tell you, but, um, I am autistic."
"Really? Huh, that's cool. I was, um, quirkless. They put me in special education too for counseling since that's considered a disability before well, you know," Izuku admitted.
"Oh, right, because you got your quirk from," Mei looked around, then leaned in and lowered her voice. "All Might."
"Right, yeah, that's a secret still though. I'll have to talk to him soon too. I'll introduce the two of you, it will be great!" Izuku agreed with a wide grin.
As they approached Class 1A, Izuku could already hear a commotion. Students around them were also stopping and looking down the hall, where shouting could be heard. Izuku and Mei hurried forward, watching as a tall blond girl Izuku had never seen before grimly strode through the halls. She had a student tucked under each of her arms, and they were both kicking and yelling at the top of their lungs.
"Dammit, put me down! I refuse! You can't make me! I'm going back to being a full time NEET!" the boy she was carrying shouted.
"I am going to be a NEET too!" the girl wailed as she struggled to free herself from her captor's grip, small fists pitifully hitting the larger girl's back as she flailed about. "We will sit in our apartment all day, and do nothing but play video games and eat junk food! So put me down, before I cast Explosion on you!"
"Wait, is that…?" Izuku gasped at the familiar phrase.
Mei, however, grinned and ran forward. "Darkness! Kazuma! Megumin! It's me, Mei!"
Kazuma and Megumin ceased their struggles, looking up in surprise.
"Mei." Darkness said, nodding. After a closer look, Izuku could tell it was her, but she looked different, younger somehow. She suddenly dropped her burdens, who landed with a loud thud and muffled groans. "Perhaps you can talk some sense into these two."
"Hi!" Mei said, grinning widely and kneeling in front of Megumin. "Are you coming to school here now too? I thought you were gone forever! I am very happy to see you again, Megumin."
Megumin sat up, sniffing and wiping at her eyes, the same deep crimson as ever. "Mei? What are you doing here? Did you get exiled too?"
"What? No, this is UA, my school. I am in Class 1A now! Why are you here, Megumin?" Mei asked.
Izuku hurried forward, a huge smile on his face. "You guys! I don't believe it! It is you! I thought we'd never see any of you again!"
Kazuma stood casually, dusting himself off. "Yeah, well, sorry disappoint you, Midoriya."
"See? I told you that it was a good idea to come to school. It is our duty to do well, and once more become heroes," Darkness crossed her arms triumphantly. Then she stepped forward and drew Mei into a tight hug. "I am glad to see you again. I thought…but if you are here, then is…?"
"Tokoyami should be coming soon," Izuku told her. He looked behind Darkness, and smiled wider when he spotted Aqua, who was shuffling forward, her eyes downcast. "And Aqua! What are you doing here? I thought you would be, um, well, you know…"
Aqua looked up, revealing her eyes to be red and puffy, her cheeks stained with tears. But she forced herself to smile. "Hi, Izuku. No. This is where I belong now, I guess. I'm...I'm just like you. An ordinary, mortal human."
"Wait, what?" Izuku gasped. He looked around, but people in the halls were still staring at them and the show they were putting on. "Crap. Here, let me see if anyone else is inside."
Thankfully, it was still 10 minutes until the bell, and no one else was inside of 1A. Izuku even checked behind Mr. Aizawa's desk to be sure, but their teacher wasn't passed out there just yet. He motioned the others inside, while Darkness dragged Kazuma and Megumin in with Aqua drudging behind before slumping bonelessly into a desk.
"What happened?" Izuku asked after he shut the door. "All I remember is Smith saying he'd do a roll back, and then I was suddenly at home in my bed, but it's three months before the Sports Festival on the first day of school."
"Same thing happened to us," Kazuma said, sighing and helping Megumin up, then taking a seat at a desk himself. He glanced at Aqua, who was staring listlessly at the wall, her head laid down on her desk. "But, um, well…"
"We got our status as goddesses revoked," Megumin explained, fidgeting nervously. "I'm just a regular Crimson Demon now. Or maybe even just a human, though I still have my red eyes. And Aqua…"
"I'm a human too," Aqua mumbled, lifting her head and sniffing. She rubbed at her eyes with her hands, then smiled, a watery if warm look. "But, I'm here with all of you. So, that's what I really wanted anyway. I'm happy. Really. I just…"
"Hey, it's OK," Kazuma said gently. He reached over and put his hand on Aqua's trembling shoulder. "We're in this together."
"Yes. Specifically, we are in school together. And I shall not allow the two of you to retreat into NEEThood," Darkness warned. "You will come to class, every day."
"Well you can make me come, but you can't make me try!" Kazuma snapped. "I've saved two worlds now! I deserve a damn break!"
"Are you dumb?" Mei asked Kazuma. "Did you already forget?"
Kazuma froze, and he looked away. When he spoke, his voice was rough. "No, I haven't. Maybe that's why I just want to hide in my room. It's safe there. Besides, what did I even do? I was barely a part of that final battle."
Megumin shook her head. "You saved me, and you blew up that buttler. That counts for something, right? Besides, at least we are together. This seems to be a peaceful world. Maybe we can relax."
"There's still villains here, but thanks to All Might, this world is safe...or at least, much safer than the last one." Izuku said with a smile. "Don't worry, this can be fun! Everyone here is really nice."
So, of course, that was when the door opened and Bakugo strode in. He paused, looking around the room. "Ok. What the fuck."
"Katsuki!" Izuku said, spinning around. "Um, these are our new classmates!"
"The fuck they are," Bakugo said, his eyes narrowed as he looked around the room. "Who the hell are these people? Who let a bunch of jackasses and the weird one from the support course in here?"
Izuku's jaw clenched and his fists tightened. "Katsuki. These are my friends. And our classmates. I suggest you respect them."
"Yeah, no, these are not our damn classmates," Bakugo said, his hand going to his back and grasping the axe he had strapped there. "Someone better start talking fast, or Red here's about to get a warm up."
Izuku let One For All fill him, the energy suddenly radiating from his body. "I won't let you hurt them, Katsuki."
"Won't let me!? Shit, this all makes sense now! You're not fucking Deku, you're some damn replacement!" Bakugo snarled as he drew the axe. "Well I've dealt with shit like this before. I will pile your fucking corpses at that fuckers feet until that four eyed bastard shows his damn face!"
"Hault!" Darkness ordered. She raised her hand, and her great sword appeared in it. "I know not who you are, but if you seek to harm Midoriya, I shall not allow it!"
"Yeah, you mess with him, you mess with all of us you spikey haired son of a bitch," Kazuma agreed.
Megumin grinned, her hands twitching. "Let me blow him up. I wanna blow him up."
"THAT'S MY LINE!" Bakugo roared, blasts emanating from his hands as he gripped his axe. "ALRIGHT! LET'S DO THIS! COME ON! I'LL BEAT YOU ALL! I'LL-"
"Bakugo! What's going on!" a girl ran into the room, her hands raised as glowing circles appeared around them. "Don't worry, we've got your back!"
Bakugo just about jumped out of his skin, leaping to the side as his eyes bugged out of his head, but strangely, so did Izuku's four new classmates.
"Yunyun?!"
"Kazuma? Megumin? Wait, is that you, Darkness and... Aqua? You look...different," the new girl said. "Bakugo, why are you fighting my friends?"
Bakugo's head jerked around. "Wait, you know these jerkoffs?! And what the fuck are you doing here, Yunyun! I thought-shit, what's going on?!"
"Um, I sort of got banished here," Yunyun admitted. "They, um, they realized I'd been staying in the Divine Realm and kicked me out. I thought I was getting sent back to Belzerg, but, well, we sort of woke up here."
"'We?'" Kazuma demanded. "Who the fuck is we?"
Two more strange girls entered the room, one a petite blond with an even bigger sword than Darkness', the other a silver haired girl with a boyish figure carrying twin daggers in a reverse grip.
"Eris?!" Aqua gasped. "You got banished here too?"
"Ok, we need to figure out just what the hell is going on," Kazuma groaned, scratching his head. "I don't-"
"Big brother!" the blonde squealed, her sword vanishing as she jumped over and tackled Kazuma in a hug. "I never thought I'd see you again!"
"Wait, who even are you?" Kazuma gasped, looking up in befuddlement at the grinning teen girl from flat on his back.
"Don't you remember me! It's me, Iris!" the girl said, laughing. "I thought you were all dead! I thought I was dead!"
"We were fucking dead," Bakugo grumbled, lowering his axe. "I want to know what the f-rick happened after you and me bought the farm."
"Iris," Megumin hissed, her crimson eyes glowing. "You have one second to get off of my boyfriend before I unleash my dark powers upon you!"
"Oh relax Megumin," Iris said, climbing off of Kazuma. "You two are really dating, though? I'm disappointed, Kazuma. I told you I'd marry the hero who defeated the Devil King. Though I suppose now Big Bro has some competition."
Just when Izuku thought things couldn't get any crazier, the rest of Class 1-A showed up right as the first bell rang. This time, Izuku saw some of the people he expected; Todoroki, Iida, Kaminari and Yaoyorozu arrived in a group, along with Uraraka who was talking with Iida. Then came Sero, Ashido, and Kirishima, who seemed to recognize the strange new students. Last of all came Tokoyami, who shuffled in looking depressed, but upon seeing Darkness let out a cry and ran over to embrace her.
"I thought you were gone forever," Darkness whispered, returning the embrace and giving Tokoyami a tight squeeze back.
"Hiya toots, we're back!" Dark Shadow squawked. Tokoyami, for his part, seemed too overcome to speak.
"Right. You two are going to have to knock that off before I expel you," Mr. Aizawa said as he walked into the room. For some reason, Izuku got the impression he was even more irritated than usual.
"Sorry, sir," Tokoyami apologized, quickly separating from Darkness. "It's just-"
"I don't really care," Aizawa interrupted, tossing a stack of papers nonchalantly onto his desk. He looked around at the students, who had all been standing and talking frantically. "Time is precious. What are you all waiting for?"
Everyone scrambled to their seats, save for Kazuma, who slumped at his desk, already looking bored. Mei raised her hand, and Aizawa let out a heavy sigh. "What is it, Hatsume?"
"Why am I in this class?" Mei demanded. "I was in the Support Class, this is very strange."
Aizawa frowned. "What do you mean? Be rational for once. You were placed in the Hero Course on recommendations. We had a lot of those this year, which is why we've opened up a third class."
With a sigh, Aizawa sank down into his chair. Immediately, a loud, wet fart resounded through the room. Everyone stared in shock, while Aizawa closed his eyes, gritting his teeth. "I am going to kill that woman."
"Who are you anyway?" Kazuma asked, his legs kicked up on his desk. "Some sort of bum who wandered into the school?"
"Kazuma, that's the teacher, Shota Aizawa! He's a pro hero," Uraraka hissed, slapping at his feet.
Rolling his eyes, Kazuma straightened up in his seat. "A Pro Hero? What, are heroes in this world-OOOF."
Kazuma rubbed his side as Uraraka continued to glare at him, even after having elbowed him in the gut.
"Well, it looks like I'm going to have a smaller class by the end of the day. At least that will cut down on all the work," Aizawa deadpanned. He reached under his desk and pulled out a box of PE uniforms. "Right, put these on and-"
Iida sprang up and grabbed the box. "Everyone, please form an orderly line. Yaoyorozu, if you would take the girls uniforms and distribute them, we can make this much more efficient."
"Who died and put you in charge?" Kazuma demanded of Iida.
"I'm the-oh." Iida flushed, looking embarrassed. "Um, that is, I felt that someone should take charge, and er, I think I would make a good class rep so-"
"Everyone in favor of making Engine Legs the class rep," Bakugo sighed, raising his hand.
Everyone quickly raised their hands, save for Kazuma, who did so after another glare from Uraraka.
Aizawa blinked. "Well. Normally I don't have you choose a class rep on the first day, but I suppose that's less work for me as well. Hurry up and get changed. We're going outside."
Izuku quickly grabbed his PE uniform. He wondered just what was going to happen next.
