"Well congratulations to you all for doing your best in the quirk apprehension test. I'm very proud of each and every one of you," spoke Loud Bastard-sensei.
Katsuki glared at him. He was exhausted and so was pretty much everyone else that had to go through these stupid apprehension tests. In fact they wouldn't have even tried this hard if the metaphorical sword of Damocles hadn't been hanging over their necks in the form of expulsion.
"Now let us check your results," their teacher said and a holographic scoreboard appeared in front of them.
Finding his result, Katsuki clicked his tongue. From all twenty students in his class Katsuki was in 8th place. Fucking up those side jumps really had left an understandable mark on his overall score. Nevertheless at least he was sure that this asshole wouldn't have a reason to get rid of him. After all, Katsuki ball throw still held the best result in the class.
"I hope that all of you are proud of your results and if you're not, then don't worry it means that you are on the first step towards self improvement. Any questions?"
There was a palpable silence until another girl raised her hand.
"Yes Ashido-chan?"
The pink haired girl, who seemed vaguely familiar for some reason, nervously looked around before speaking.
"Erm, Sensei, are you going to throw anyone of us out now?"
Loud Clown-sensei looked puzzled.
"Why would I do that?" He asked.
"Because you told us that you are going to expel someone if they don't meet your standards," replied a spiky red haired guy next to her.
"Ah, that. Well since I haven't mentioned any names it just means that no one is going to be expelled today," Loud Bstard-sensei calmly replied.
Then he seemed to realize something.
"Oh wait, you were all expecting me to tell you that no one is getting expelled. Sorry about that. Ehem. NO ONE IS GETTING EXPELLED. I REPEAT NO ONE. YOU ALL DID A GREAT JOB!"
He then started to clap his hands.
Katsuki felt a thick form over his eyebrow. Maybe he could skip a year. Like how big the chance would be that his next teacher could be worse than cotton candy hair.
"Ok, if there are no more questions, I guess it means that everyone can go home now. Thank you for being such wonderful students and I'll see you all tomorrow."
With that a cloud suddenly appeared under their teacher's feet and he flew over the air, disappearing behind the UA building.
Katsuki watched where the guy had vanished and tried to accept that this will be the man teaching him for the next three years. Truly the road to the top was full of hardship.
"Bakugou!"
His musings were suddenly interrupted by an, at this point, easily recognizable voice.
Katsuki turned around and saw a very serious looking Inasa.
"Yes?"
The taller teenager grabbed his shoulders and Katsuki remembered everything that he learned about escaping an opponent's hold and then IT happened.
"That was amazing!" The larger guy shouted in his face.
He blinked.
"What was?"
"I think that he means the way you threw that ball, brother."
And now Tenya was also here. The blond, not so much delinquent, was also looming over him with a smile that, though not as dumb as Inasa's, still managed to irk him.
"It was really hot blooded!" Exclaimed the hot head.
Katsuki understood that as an agreement.
"Truly it was brother," added Tenya while pushing up an imaginary pair of glasses, "the way you not only beat your previous record by using your ingenuity but also the way you managed to impress Loud Cloud-sensei. It was all totally effin rad."
"What Ida-san said," hot head added, "also the transformation thing that you did with your hair was also very hot blooded!"
Transformation? Katsuki was confused until he figured out what the guy might've meant. He touched his head and realized that it had again escaped from its casing. God damnit!
"Let's celebrate," suddenly exclaimed the hot-head, thus gaining their immediate attention.
"What a weird suggestion to offer, especially knowing that today there is no noteworthy holliday or any other occasion," Tenya commented before realizing that he might've sounded a bit too sophisticated, "erm motha effa."
"What are you talking about? It is our first day at UA and we became 1A's first hero team, blessed by Cloud-sensei himself. What is there not to celebrate!?" Inasa proclaimed.
"I'm pretty sure that the jackass was just messing with us." Katsuki thought.
Also he didn't want to hang out with this weirdo. Yeah, hot-head wasn't that bad, but Katsuki's gut was screaming at him that he'll be considered a weirdo by almost everyone just by being close to this guy.
He wanted to politely brush him off however Tenya beat him to it.
"Inasa," the blond delinquent (?), Katsuki was starting to doubt if he really was one, grabbed the taller teenager by his shoulder while looking dead serious, "what a terrible idea."
Oh thanks All Might. At least Tenya thought so as well.
"To not do!" The fake blond exclaimed, trashing Katsuki's wishes for a peaceful rest of the day.
"What an effin rad idea, my hot-blooded brother," Tenya said as the two giants then exchanged a handshake, "let us make marrily and party till we drop."
It was official, Katsuki could never allow these two morons to agree on anything. He then tried to sneak away only to have his shoulders grabbed by each of them.
"What do you say Katsuki, my man, let's party it up?" Asked Tenya.
"We'll even allow you to choose the place." Added Inasa.
Katsuki looked at the two boys with their sparkling eyes and hopeful expressions.
"I am going to be punished by some higher power if I say no, to them, won't I?" He thought.
"Okay, sure, stop puppy eyeing me."
Both morons then did a hive five.
"... However," Katsuki added, knowing that someone needed to be the voice of reason here, "nothing too crazy. Even though we didn't get expelled for poor performance we still could get kicked out if they catch us doing something stupid. So no funny business."
"Of course," said hot-head, "I am very hot blooded for following proper behavior code. Ain't that right, bro."
"Of course," barked Tenya, "as so am I. After all, what kind of delinquent would I be if I didn't follow the rules!?"
"An actual one," thought Katsuki.
These two are going to give him an aneurysm.
"Alright in that case I know this one great tofu place nearby," Katsuki said. "Will that be okay?"
"Of course," said Tenya, "what better way to start our friendship than with some tofu."
"Wow Bakugou-san, what an old person thing to like. Sure, let's go." Replied Inasa.
Suddenly the air felt silent as Katsuki felt that his eyelid was twitching.
"What!?" He asked while his mouth curved into a smirk that signified that the teen was approaching his "danger zone".
"I mean you do remind me of a grumpy old man, but I think that it fits your aesthetic." Spoke Inasa whose smile indicated that he had no idea that he was just adding fuel to the fire.
Tenya who despite his appearance and taste seemed to be more socially aware tried to salvage the situation.
"Erm bro, you should stop." He said looking and sounding unsure.
The tallest of the trio just offered him the same derpy grin.
"But it is great! I feel that for example I couldn't be compared to a senior citizen despite how much I would try. It is admirable that Bakugou-san is able to do it so effortlessly."
He then faced Katsuki again whose body was slightly discharging energy.
"Don't you think so too, Bakugou-san or maybe Elder Bakugou!?" He then did a wink.
It was the last drop.
"WHO YOU ARE CALLING OLD, YOU BRAINDEAD IDIOT!" Katsuki shouted and went for the kill.
Inasa laughed, thinking that this was a game while Tenya hurried to save his life.
Unknown to Bakugou Katsuki, he had been secretly watched for the whole ordeal by a certain someone.
"Great job Young Bakugou," thought Toshinori as he was watching his successor chasing after his friend(?). The man wasn't sure of it himself.
He came rushing once he had realized that his successor had been put in the class of the most infamous teacher in all of UA only to see that there was no point for being concerned.
The young man had again proved himself to be a perfect choice by not only not giving up in the face of the new competition that were his classmates but also to keep innovating himself by quickly learning new techniques.
"Alright Sir, I know that this is probably a misunderstanding but can you please explain to me why you are hiding behind the corner while watching my kids," suddenly said a voice behind him.
Toshinori took a quick turn and Loud Cloud stood in a fighting position with his staff drawn.
The other teacher squinted his eyes before a realization dawned upon him.
"Oh, it's just you Yagi-san. My apologies, I didn't recognize you without all that Might." The man joked and poked Toshinori's stomach with his staff.
Then a second or two passed and his expression became serious again.
"But wait, what are you doing here?"
Before any misunderstandings could happen All Might quickly responded.
"Sorry for that Loud Cloud, I just had an empty spot in my schedule so I was wandering around the yard when I spotted your little test and since I had no experience in teaching I decided to see how you do it as a reference. I apologize if I acted weirdly."
Loud Cloud grinned from ear to ear.
"Of course, there is no issue Yagi-san," the man said while grabbing all Toshinori around his shoulders.
"In fact you should've joined us. If I told those brats that All Might will be grading their performance then I bet they'd have done even better in that test."
"Well it's good that it didn't happen, then." All Might mused.
"But hey, how about we go to the lounge and I can show you the tools of the trade, my young padawan." Said Loud Cloud.
He then led Toshinori away before the man had a chance to even protest. The man mused that somehow he was paralleling his student at the moment.
The beginning of his 2nd day at UA proved to be quite uneventful for Katsuki in comparison to the first.
It all started with him arriving at his seat and then getting prepared for class to start. During that moment he just happened to make eye contact with his closest neighbor.
It was an unassuming girl with blond hair that looked to be fashioned in a bowl cut of sorts. She also wore a pair of thick rimmed square glasses.
They looked at each other for a second before Katsuki, being the courteous individual that he tried to be, offered her a good morning. Instead of reciprocating it, the rude bitch turned her head in the opposite direction. Frankly at that point the only thing that kept Katsuki from calling her out for this shit was the fact that he really didn't wish to test UA's policy for misbehavior.
Afterwards the most of the day was spent, ironically doing mundane school shit. Yeah it was taught by heroes however calculus didn't suddenly become interesting only because it was being explained by Pro Hero: Cementos. Still, even though he wasn't a big fan of doing regular school stuff, Katsuki still addressed the subject with dedication. After all he wasn't about to let his grades slip or something.
In fact the only noteworthy thing that happened was during lunch. Katsuki had just escaped the food line and was looking for a place to bunker down and have lunch.
Of course, he could go and sit between the two stooges, but after what had happened yesterday, he kind of needed a break from them. Tenya and the hot-head were cool guys, but they were a hard company to handle in large quantities.
A bit further, he actually saw Izumi and some of her classmates chatting. She looked to be having a great time and Katsuki even wished to join her. However things still felt a bit awkward between them. Besides, that table was packed.
Instead he looked around and was even willing to bite the bullet and sit with the two noise makers when he spotted someone waving at him. It was some dude with brown hair and an average face which for some reason felt familiar to him. Katsuki shrugged and walked towards the table.
He sat down and placed his meal. Immediately as he did the other guy immediately went for the attack.
"I'm Tsubaraba Kōsei, it's nice to meet you, my man."
He then offered him a hand.
"Bakugou Katsuki," he replied and shook it.
There was an awkward silence during which Katsuki didn't know what to say.
"Anyway I wished to thank you," the other teen suddenly said.
Katsuki suddenly raised an eyebrow.
"For what?"
"Oh you saved me from a 2-pointer during the practical exam. Don't you remember?"
Suddenly the brown hair and distinct feature lacking face made Katsuki remember who he was.
"I do know you," he said, "did you manage to get into the hero course?"
The other guy grinned.
"Yes I did. You are looking at a proud member of class 1-B." He proudly said.
Somehow this guy's mannerisms reminded Katsuki of his Ryuu. He also realized that it was the same class where Izumi had been put in.
"Well, congrats for getting into the hero course despite your little hiccup. It must've been tough." Said Katsuki.
"It kind of was," Tsubaraba admitted, "however I didn't want to go out like some kind of wimp, so I tried my hardest and by some chance of luck, I got in."
"It wasn't luck," replied Katsuki with a steel expression.
The other guy looked surprised.
"You did your best and UA acknowledged that. In fact there isn't a single person in both class B or A who didn't earn their place. Remember that."
"Thanks," responded Tsubaraba as he awkwardly scratched his head.
Katsuki did his best to ignore the slight blush on his face.
"Anyway," Katsuki added as he intentionally looked away, "thanks for offering up your points so I could get admitted. It was kind of you."
"Wait, how do you know that?" Tsubaraba loudly asked.
"They showed it in my acceptance video," Katsuki replied, facing him again.
He then saw the strange expression on the other guy's face.
"What?"
"They showed you that!?" He exclaimed so loudly to the point where almost everyone in the cafeteria was looking in their direction.
Katsuki made an annoyed expression while Tsubaraba looked apologetic.
"Sorry," he whispered.
"Why did they need to show you that? You know how uncool I looked there."
Yup, this dude definitely reminded Katsuki of his former classmate.
"I mean it wasn't that bad, dude." Said Katsuki, remembering some of his embarrassing stunts.
Like seriously, no manner of excuses wouldn't make falling in a crying fit in front of your parents not embarrassing.
They both then chatted till lunch break ended at which point they parted. Katsuki had to admit that Tsubaraba was a pretty okay guy despite possessing a sort of an ego.
After this it was time for a class that Katsuki had waited for the rest of the day: Heroics. And Katsuki was pretty sure about who would be teaching them.
"I am here, coming through the door like a normal person!" Exclaimed All Might slipping through the classroom's door.
The reaction from his class was understandable.
"Oh my God, it's All Might!"
"He really is teaching here. I thought that it was a false rumor."
"Look, he even has his silver age costume on."
That last comment actually gained Katsuki's attention.
All Might had his hero suit on however instead of the new one in which he had been prancing around for the last ten years, he had his old ass costume with the red torso and the cape. Now that Katsuki thought hadn't All Might once accidentally been caught in a wind turbine because of the cape.
It made Katsuki even happier that he had smartly decided to opt out of that shit when designing his suit.
"Now, now I know that you're excited," said All Might in response to the abundance of hyperactive energy that his Katsuki's classmates were showing.
"However, this is not the time for pleasantries but training."
He then pushed a button on a controller and a row of metal briefcases came out of the walls. Katsuki, easily saw his one between them.
"Suit up and let's meet at training ground Gamma. It's time for me to whip you zygotes into shape." All Might said with his grin growing wider.
Katsuki in return grabbed his case and flashed a predatory smirk. It was time to show everyone what this baby could do.
Toshinori believed that he did a fairly good job to make a good first impression on his students.
Yesterday, listening to Loud Cloud's advice on what he should and shouldn't do gave him the perfect baseline of how to start his heroics class.
Though not all what his fellow teacher had said proved out to be useful.
"If you want to leave a good first impression for the students, do something cool. Like throwing a house. You're strong and could pull it off."
Yeah, Toshinori was really glad that he didn't follow through with that one.
He was waiting for his students at the aforementioned training ground Gamma which had been modeled to look like an actual city. Frankly it even surprised Toshinori how much money was placed into UA's or more accurately Nezu's piggy bank. Not that he'd ever tell it to the dog/rat. If there was one being that All Might truly feared besides his old teacher it was the school's principal.
After a minute or so of pondering, Toshinori finally saw the students coming out of the entrance in their hero suits.
Frankly Toshinori didn't wish to sound old, but it always formed tears in his eyes when he could witness the next generations show their love to the concept of heroes, especially knowing how different it had been when he was a child.
They were expressive and colorful. Built to accommodate their quirks and to show their vision of what a hero should be.
However it would be a lie if he hadn't been looking forward to seeing Young Bakugou's hero suit the most. So he eagerly scanned the crowd.
Unfortunately nothing between the groups of brightly dressed students indicated to even remotely resemble his successor so Toshinori looked back at the entrance, impatiently waiting to see Young Bakugou. That's when he heard it.
-Thump-
It was a horrifying sound of something heavy hitting the floor which was soon replaced by another one and again another one and then it came out.
It was a student dressed in what All Might could assume was shiny black power armor, a skull shaped helmet with sharp orange spikes coming out of the top of said helmet like some sort of demonic mohawk.
It was pretty bulky with the biggest parts being the arms and legs as well as its shoulders. Finally an orange X marked the thing's chest.
"There's no way that it could be him," All Might mused or more accurately begged.
The hell soldier then looked at him and a sort of recognition was exchanged between them. There was no denying it, despite how All Might wished for it to not be true. This definitely was Young Bakugou.
"Hey, nice setup bro," said a voice, gaining Katsuki's attention.
It was Tenya or more accurately something that had his voice.
Just like Katsuki, the fake blond had decided to take the full armor route and had greeted in his own pair of battle armor. Katsuki guessed that if you had a speed quirk then a pretty good way of fighting villains was to be decked like some sort of death bumper car.
However, unlike Katsuki's own hero suit, Tenya's was silver and seemed to slightly shine while the kanji characters for Bō-Sō-Dok-kō were printed on his back.
There were also exhaust tubes attached to his back and forearms. Katsuki had no idea if they did anything but if Tenya's goal was to resemble a pimped out motorcycle then he had succeeded.
"Great minds think alike, isn't that right brother." Tenya said as he inspected Katsuki's suit.
The wielder of One For All noticed that Tenya had a much easier time moving than him. It was possible that his suit was most likely lighter than his.
"Hey you two match," exclaimed a loud and at this point mentally exhausting voice, making Katsuki groan.
Hot-head was proudly marching in their direction. The only upside was that unlike them he also wasn't sporting another set of power armor. Otherwise, Katsuki would have attended the lesson in his underwear.
No, unlike them the loud teenager sported some burgundy steampunk-esque suit with many tubes sticking out of his costume, which knowing that he had some kind of wind quirk probably helped with manipulating said quirk.
While over his head there also laid a burgundy cowl that was connected to a cape that went down his back. While his chest was cowered in two lines of golden buttons.
"Ta-da!" He acclaimed while extending his hands to both sides, probably noticing their gaze.
"What do you think of my costume?"
"That it reminds me of my grandmother's curtains," thought Katsuki.
"It looks unique," he said instead.
"It looks cool as hell man," said Tenya, "though that material looks like it absorbs a lot of heat. Won't you be hot in it?"
"What a thoughtful question, my hot blooded brother. Since I have a wind quirk which also allows me to fly, I decided that it would be smart to have a suit that could keep me warm when I am flying. I'm more concerned about you two. Those suits of armor don't seem like the type to ventilate well."
"That's where you're wrong, Inasa bro." Tenya said as proudly hit himself in the chest.
"My hero suit has been designed to ventilate well, especially when I am running and I can Imagine that Bakugou bro's outfit is made in a similar manner."
They both then turned to Katsuki as if they were expecting a confirmation from him.
"Yeah, just like Ida said, I have something as well so that I wouldn't bake."
Not that he would ever tell anyone what it was. His suit came with many different components all of which existed with the purpose to assist with his quirk.
One of those was some kind of coolant that was sprayed all over his body in order to keep Katsuki from burning himself.
Frankly, despite its usefulness Katsuki hated the stuff. It felt like taking a long soak in a tube of cold buggers. His only hope was that it wasn't something hard to clean out otherwise he'd be pissed.
"How dashing you all look," All Might commented, gaining their attention.
"I bet that you all are ready for your first heroics class which will be….. COMBAT SIMULATIONS!"
That got a reaction out of them all, especially Katsuki, who was more than ready to try out his suit.
All Might waited for the eagerness to die down before continuing.
"We'll be splitting up into teams of heroes and villains. Each team will consist of two people. The villains task will be to guard a bomb for around 10 minutes while the heroes will have to stop the villains before the bomb detonates. Any questions?"
A sea of hands rose and All Might chuckled.
"Alright, let's start one by one."
He then pointed at someone in the crowd.
"How about you, Young Uraraka."
A girl who seemed to be dressed in what Katsuki assumed was some black leather bdsm gear shyly spoke up.
"How are we going to decide who is in which team, All Might-sensei?"
"Just call me All Might, Young Uraraka. Sensei makes me feel old," he said while showing her a brilliant smile.
A few of them laughed after seeing this.
"As for your question, we'll be drawing lots to decide who'll be partnered up with who."
That resulted in a plethora of uneasy reactions from some of the kids who had already decided with whom they wished to be paired with.
"Do you have another question?" All Might asked the girl.
She shook her head and so All Might focused on the next person.
"Yes, Young Kaminari."
The student in question was some guy with yellow hair with a black lightning bolt that ran by the side of his head.
"I wonder what his quirk might be?" Katsuki thought, sarcastically.
"Yeah, eh All Might. I have no issues with your teaching methods but isn't making us partner up with people that we don't know kind of a bad idea."
A girl with short cut hair that stood next to him noded. By their similar hero costumes, Katsuki could wager that they were probably close friends.
"Actually a lot of heroes usually have to take down villains on the fly. Which includes having to work with complete strangers."
Instead of All Might it was a different guy from their class who said it. He wore a simple dark blue hero suit with extra white attachments to his back and around his arms. His hail was in two different colors, with one side being completely white while the other one was red.
He then noticed that everyone was looking at him and seemed to get kind of nervous.
"Well, that's what my dad says at least."
"You are right on the money Young Todoroki." Said All Might.
"During operations heroes often need to be able to work with whatever help they have at hand. Even complete strangers. This exercise is to help you with that."
Katsuki perked up. Wasn't Todoroki the surname of the number two hero?
"Any more questions?" Asked All Might.
Katsuki was getting the feeling that his mentor was getting sick of them.
A final hand rose.
"Yes, Young Asui?"
A girl in a green spandex suit with some sort of googles around her head perked up.
"All Might-chan," said the girl in a cute manner, "where will we be having these simulations?"
"Another splendid question, Young Asui. Also, thank you for the cute nickname," All Might said and made a pose that pop idols used to show, "I might be a hulking mass of justice but on the inside I am a shy school girl just like the rest of you."
That made everyone explode from laughter, Katsuki included. These really were the qualities that allowed All Might to be the symbol of peace.
"Back to your question, we'll be having the battles indoors. It is a little known fact but most of the time we heroes have to fight in the lairs of villains. The media just usually focuses on the outside brawls."
"Any more questions?"
There was a resounding silence.
"Then let the lesson begin," All Might said and raised his fist in the air.
They picked lots. Katsuki got the number 13 which he hoped wouldn't be a sign of bad luck. Hot-head and the Thugmobile (there was no way, that Katsuki couldn't use a different nickname after seeing that suit) went to find their partners which left Katsuki to stand and look for his because Katsuki's suit was a tad on the heavy side and so made moving slightly problematic.
"E-excuse me, are you perhaps number 13?" Asked a shy voice.
Katsuki turned his head and was met with a girl. She had pink skin and hair that was in the same color, two antenna-like things sticking out of her head and a pair of yellow eyes with black sclera.
Her hero suit consisted of some kind of body suit that was in some psychedelic colors, a white jacket over said suit and a white eye mask.
In one of her hands she held a stick with the number 13 engraved on it.
Something in her demeanor reminded him of Izumi when they were younger.
"Yeah, that's me," he said, showing her his stick.
"I'm Bakugou Katsuki by the way," Katsuki put his hand out, "it's a pleasure to meet you."
A relieved smile appeared on her face, Katsuki's guess was that she had been intimidated by his suit, and she grabbed his hand in both of her's. It was an act that actually startled him.
"Thank goodness," she said with a smile, "I was a bit afraid that I wouldn't have a partner. My name is Ashido Mina and it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Bakugou-san."
In theory Katsuki should have no issues talking with girls. After all, he had done it before. However, he has never experienced a girl wanting to talk to him or seeming so happy just to meet him.
"Finally get to meet me! What is she talking about? Alright, calm down Bakugou Katsuki, you are better than this. Now think. There must be some normal explanation which is better than the virgin shit that a part of your brain is thinking."
"Are you talking about yesterday's test results?" He blurted out.
The girl looked confused while Katsuki felt like a tool.
"Well yes, that's how I learned of your name, however I met you before that. Remember the entrance exam when you saved me."
Internally Katsuki sighed. It explained everything. Now he just needed to remember how he had saved her. I mean, he had saved a couple of faces, however, Katsuki was sure that he'd probably remember saving someone with pink skin.
He knew that she was in the video. In fact she had been the one leading the group of people who wanted to give him their points. However where did….
A terrible pit formed in Katsuki's stomach.
"You were at the zero pointer." He stated like a moron.
The girl instantly brightened.
"So you do remember. Yeah, I was about to be crushed to death by that robot when you saved me."
"It wasn't like that." Katsuki thought, horrified.
In fact back then he had completely forgotten about her as he had rammed himself into that Zero pointer which was a sign of luck if he had ever seen one.
If that robot had fallen face first instead with his back then we'll….he didn't even want to imagine that.
As another testament to Katsuki's luck, good or bad, a scream pierced the air, gaining their attention.
"My eyes!" Exclaimed Inasa from the ground while tears were leaking from his slightly reddened orbs.
"Still loud," said a person that stood next to the moron and had to be his temporary partner.
She had blond hair that was tied into a singular tail, yellow eyes like that of a cat and a very annoyed face as she was looking down on Inasa.
Her hero costume consisted of a sand colored cloak that covered her body and only revealed her feet which were downed in some white skin-tight footwear.
Before Katsuki could react to this, someone else did.
"Bro," Ida exclaimed as he ran up to his fallen aly.
He then looked at the girl.
"How could you poke your own teammate in the eyes, you bi…..bird!?" Tenya exclaimed.
"Dude, just curse. No one will give a shit." Thought Katsuki.
Meanwhile the girl eyed Tenya as if he was a very persistently annoying fly.
"I thought that it would make him become more quiet," she replied, "it didn't."
Katsuki was one hundred percent sure that even she knew that what she said was bullshit.
"There's no reason to poke your own teammate in the eyes!" Tenya loudly declared like some emissary of justice.
His own partner a black haired girl, Katsuki was sure that her name was Uraraka, also didn't seem to be sure how to react.
Fortunately before Katsuki could get involved someone else did.
"I understand that you are angry Young Ida, however there is no reason to become upset about it." Said All Might who had appeared at the scene.
Everyone stared at the man, who in turn was looking at Inasa's partner. Katsuki noticed that he wasn't smiling.
"Young Himiko, I saw what happened, so could you be polite enough to tell me why you decided to poke Young Inasa in the eye sockets?"
There was a certain level of tension that All Might brought when he had been displeased with someone and Katsuki had never been so unfortunate to be at the receiving end of it.
To no one's surprise, the girl's defiant expression quickly vanished.
"I'm sorry Sir," she said, "Yoarashi was being very loud and was a bit too close to comfort, due to which I got defensive and responded in the way that you just saw. I'm not used to being around people however it gave me no right to act as I did now. I'm terribly sorry about it."
To Katsuki it sounded a bit too fake. Like a response that one would read of a leaflet. However he knew that this girl didn't need to mean what she said. She only had to never do anything of that nature again.
All Might seemed to think as well.
"Alright, I am happy that we are on the same page however I am not the one that you should be apologizing to."
He then kneeled next to Hot-head.
"Young Yoarashi, are you capable of attending the rest of the lesson?"
With that the genie had been let out of the bottle.
"Of course All Might-sensei," the guy yelled as he suddenly got on his feet.
"IN FACT SUCH A SMALL THING COULD NOT POSSIBLY QUELL MY HOT BLOODED SPIRIT!" Hot-head yelled while his eyes seemed close to popping out of his skull.
"I'm glad to hear it my boy," All Might said with a grin.
He then gave Inasa's partner the side eye.
The girl, fortunately, seemed to know what he wanted.
"I'm sorry for poking you in the eyes," she said and placed her hood over her head.
Then the unexpected happened.
"Apology accepted. I'm sorry two for being so forward," Inasa replied in a normal tone while not having that dumb grin on his face.
"Holy shit, she must've actually found an off switch," Katsuki mused.
Anyway the atmosphere around them was pretty awkward and fortunately All Might, as always, came to the rescue.
He grabbed both of them by their shoulders and pressed them against his sides.
"Great, now that these two have shown us how to de-escalate a tense situation, how about we return back to the scheduled program."
All Might then let go of them and picked up two square boxes that had holes in them.
"Please hold these," he asked Inasa and the girl, who did it without protest.
"Now then the first one to battle will be these two," All Might then pulled out two different colored balls with numbers over them.
"The villains for this exercise are going to be: team 13!"
Katsuki turned towards Ashido, who looked nervous. It seems that 13 really had been his unlucky number.
"As for the heroes: team 8."
"FINALLY!" Exclaimed a voice from the crowd.
People parted as a figure approached Katsuki and his increasingly more nervous companion.
"You have no idea how eager I've been to get to scrap with someone." Said the stranger and Katsuki felt his eyebrows widen.
It was another girl. Her hero costume consisted of a red one piece leotard that only covered her chest, stomach and ass leaving her arms and legs bare. While her other only two articles of clothing seemed to be a pair of white boots and a pair of red combat goggles that covered her eyes.
However what, unfortunately, caught most of his attention was the large zipper that went from the top to the bottom of her suit's front.
"What in the poorly regulated hell is this thing," Katsuki thought.
The girl then gave him a grin that was all teeth and no warmth.
"If I recall you are the guy who scored top place on the entrance exam. Well I have hope that your performance now will be better than what I saw at the quirk test. Otherwise I'll steamroll through you."
Not being one to back down in a dick measuring competition, Katsuki went into a counter attack.
"And who the fuck are you? Or should I just call you Chloe with the "c" and "l" being silent of course."
"Damn!" Said a voice from the crowd belonging to one of the boys, though it wasn't sure which one.
The chick looked surprised for a second before her fangful smile re-appeared.
"Well, it seems that someone has spunk. Good otherwise this wouldn't be twice as fun. The name's Yaoyorozu Momo. Remember it well because it is the name of someone, who'll blow you away."
Well that was a name that struck some chords with Katsuki. He had remembered the names of everyone who had gotten better results than him yesterday and this chick ranked at the very top.
Great! He loved the idea of testing himself against someone actually challenging.
Katsuki leaned forward until her face almost touched his helmet.
"Even though it's kind that you offered to blow me, how about we leave it after I've pummeled your skank ass into dust, e tut's?"
Everyone looked with a mix horrified at the display while the two of them were literally butting heads.
"God, I missed this," Katsuki thought fondly.
In a place, far away from the prying eyes of society a man was indulging himself in a good read in his private quarters. It was a room of other luxury that could easily compare to the dwellings of the super rich. From the high end leather of his sofas to the Italian maple built tables, everything here screamed of status. After all, for One such as him everything less would be an insult.
Currently the man was sitting in one of his chairs and was indulging himself with a pleasant read from his tablet. It wasn't anything special, just the local news reel.
Usually the man wouldn't have wasted his time to read the drivel that was posted in these company sponsored tabloids. He had much better ways of learning about the actual affair of things.
Nevertheless now and again even he liked to check with what Japan's government was feeding the sheep to keep them docile. This time however the man found something that even he could find interesting.
"ALL MIGHT AT UA." Read the title of the newspaper.
So he read the article and if this little piece of consumerist trash was credible then the Pro Hero All Might had become a teacher at the prestigious UA High.
The man let out a breath that he didn't realize to be holding. He first needed to check with his information sources but if this was true then it could only mean one thing.
Without wasting the time he activated a quirk: Message. It was a fairly simple ability and did as the name said. The user could send a telepathic message to one person of their choosing. Though with careful 'additions' the man could increase the amount of receivers.
"Doctor, please mobilize Tomura and the new Nomu and wait in standby for further instructions."
With that the man got up and made a nervous stroll around his quarters. He then picked up the paper again as his eyes fell on the article.
"Took you long enough, boy." Said All For One as a smile grew on his face.
Extra.
Katsuki took a mouthful of his mapo tofu and hummed from the pleasantness of the dish. After he had stopped trying to murder hot-head the three of them had gone to the tofu place that Katsuki had suggested.
Tenya had gone with some Nikudofu. While the big guy had taken the same spicy as all hell tofu that Katsuki has and well it was a sight to see.
Hot-head's face was already in a worrying shade of red while the hand holding his chopstick was visibly shaking. Still, he still had the same goofy ass grin. Katsuki was starting to grow suspicious that it might be more due to muscle cramps than anything else.
Katsuki exchanged a concerned look with Tenya and the both understood that if they wouldn't stop hot-head, the poor moron might pass out from his lack of a decent spice tolerance.
"Hey em, Yoarashi?" Katsuki nervously said, hoping that hot-head was still lucid enough to recognize speech patterns.
Instantly the big doofus's eyes turned towards him.
"Yes?" He asked, sweat dripping from his face.
Katsuki and Tenya exchanged another look.
"Are you doing alright?" He asked.
"Of course," the guy replied with his skin increasingly approaching the color of chili pepper red, "I'm here having a great meal on my first day in UA with my two new best friends. What else could be better?"
He then took another mouthful of spicy tofu and visibly shuddered.
"You know bro no one will think less of you if you can't finish your meal." Said Tenya, most likely trying to convince Inasa to stop eating.
Katsuki gave the fake blond an annoyed look. It was a bad idea.
"What are you talking about, Ida-san? I'm more than capable of finishing the same meal that my rival is having. Look." With that hot-head started to push more food in his mouth without even properly chewing it.
"His poor asshole," Katsuki thought, shuddering from all the gastric issues that this moron was about to give himself.
Suddenly a thought appeared in his head.
"Damn this is hot!" Katsuki loudly said without any reason.
Both guys looked at him. While Tenya was confused, Inasa looked as if he had finally stumbled upon an oasis in the middle of a desert.
Katsuki then kicked Tenya from under the table. Suddenly the other teen realized what he meant.
"Is that so? Then what are you about to do Bakugou-kun?" Tenya said, sounding like the unholy love child between bad method acting and a dodgy voice AI.
"I'll get some ice cream. It will definitely help me with the spice," Katsuki replied, not sounding any better. His only hope was that Inasa was stupid enough to not figure it out.
"How about you hot-head, you also want some?" Katsuki asked.
"Of course, but only because you wouldn't feel bad." Inasa replied.
Meanwhile Katsuki and Tenya exchanged a look after which the former pressed the little buzzer on the table to call the waitress. This was definitely the last time he was going out anywhere with these morons.
Hey everyone, I hope that you liked the chapter because I will be having some bad news. I'll be having a hiatus. My personal life requires more attention, due to which I wouldn't be able to continue consistently updating this fick.
I know that doesn't sound good, especially leaving you all with such a cliffhanger. For that I'm sorry.
I thank those who loved this story and wish you all the best.
Soul out.
