As per regulations, the UA Six wore their typical gray and blue UA school uniforms for the school day. When Deko got up, she was greeted by Mischa and Jessa.
"Good morning, Midoriya!" said Mischa.
Deko smiled. "Good morning, Mischa and Jessa! I'm ready for classes whenever you two are."
"Why don't we grab breakfast first?" said Jessa.
"Good idea!"
The UA Six accompanied Mischa and Jessa to the cafeteria, which had quite the smorgasbord of food. In contrast to UA, Supernatural Academy served more typically American breakfast foods such as cereal, bacon, waffles and scrambled eggs, plus some premium items such as fried chicken and ribeye steaks. Deko took a table with Todoroki, Mischa and Jessa, though they wouldn't be the only ones dining at this table. Also here were two other boys. One was a tall boy with long, dark blue hair partly done up in a bun, tan skin and purple eyes. He wore a dark purple blazer with gold trim, a dark purple sweater vest over a dark purple long-sleeve shirt with a dark purple tie, dark purple pants and black leather dress shoes. The other was an almost as tall boy with light blond hair in a quiff style, yellowish-brown eyes and a similar complexion. He wore the same kind of blazer as the other boy, but with a red sweater vest, a white long-sleeve shirt, dark purple pants and black leather dress shoes.
"Hey Jessa, you never told us that we'd be having visitors," said the blond boy.
"Brax, Max, these are our guests Izuko Midoriya and her boyfriend Shoto Todoroki. Izuko, Shoto, this is my boyfriend Braxton Compass, aka 'Brax'. The dark-haired one is his brother Maximus, aka 'Max'. He's Mischa's boyfriend."
Brax – the blond boy – waved at Deko and Todoroki. "Hi, nice to meet you both!"
Max waved at Deko and Todoroki as well. "Yeah, nice to meet you too! It's not often we get Asians here at this school."
Deko smiled. "Todoroki and I were sent here from Japan as exchange students because Mischa and Jessa had a mission for us."
"Oh, that! Well, it's a good thing they called for help, because based on what I know about this 'Projekt Reichswolf', it seems like they could even put the Dragon King to shame."
Todoroki swallowed a piece of waffle. "Louis told us about the Dragon King and what happened to your father."
Deko frowned. "Mischa, Jessa, I'm really sorry for your loss. I don't know exactly how either of you feel, but to be honest…I never really got to know my real father. He was posted on an overseas assignment when I was really young and I haven't seen him since. All Might was the closest person I ever had to a real father. If you ever need to talk about any of this, I promise, I'm here for you two."
Mischa smiled. "Thanks, Izuko. That really meant a lot to me."
Jessa smiled too. "Yeah, I haven't even known you for a day, but I already like you!"
Deko giggled. "Awww, thanks!"
"So tell me, you four: what are your Quirks?" asked Todoroki.
Mischa raised an eyebrow. "Quirks?"
"Yeah, what do you mean?" asked Jessa.
Brax shrugged. "I'm clueless, too."
"Yeah, tell us!" said Max.
Deko put a hand on Todoroki's shoulder. "Uh, Todoroki, I don't think these people have Quirks in the traditional sense."
"They don't? Then how do they expect to become heroes?"
Deko chuckled. "Just let me explain, honey." She turned to the rest of the group. "In our world, 80% of the human population is born with a superpower, or 'Quirk'. We have special schools where people learn how to become heroes. My Quirk is a legendary Quirk called 'One For All' that has been passed down through generations, growing stronger and stronger each time. However, it's so powerful that I can only use a certain percentage of its power without hurting myself."
Mischa and Jessa were wide-eyed at hearing about this.
"Wow…that is so cool!" said Mischa.
"Yeah, I never knew that stuff existed!" said Jessa.
"My Quirk is 'Half-Cold Half-Hot'," said Todoroki. "It allows me to shoot ice from the right side of my body and fire from the left side. However, I'll freeze to death if I overuse my ice, and I'll die of heatstroke if I overuse my fire."
Brax nodded. "OK, OK, I get this whole 'Quirk' thing now. I'm a Dragon Shifter, which means I can transform into a dragon. There aren't many of us left because of discrimination against Dragon-Marked people."
"I'm a vampire," said Max. "You can figure the rest out from there."
"Jessa and I are Wolf Shifters," said Mischa. "Well…Jessa's more of a Dual Shifter."
"I accidentally discovered the ability to shift into a dragon form as well as a wolf form while confronting Kristov one day. It's been pretty difficult living with her, but we've gotten along better since the fight with the Dragon King."
"Fascinating," said Todoroki. "I had no idea there were ways of having powers besides Quirks."
Jessa smiled. "Well, you'd be surprised, Shoto."
Todoroki smiled. He was definitely enjoying being at Supernatural Academy so far. However, it was clear that Kacchan was enjoying it less:
"LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU GRAPE SODA BITCH!"
The current object of Kacchan's ire was a purple-skinned fairy with shoulder-length wavy white hair done up in a bun, with a few braids. This fairy wore a purple blazer similar to what Max and Brax wore, plus a dark purple sweater vest, a white blouse, dark purple pants and no shoes.
"Excuse me, but I do NOT approve of you being so rude to me! Don't you know who I am?"
"NO, AND I DON'T FRIGGIN' CARE!"
Uraraka – who was sitting at the same table as Kacchan, Tsu and Tokoyami – chuckled nervously.
"Um…please forgive Bakugo! He has a bit of a hair-trigger temper!"
"NO ONE ASKED YOU, PINK CHEEKS!"
"Well anyways, my name is Jae Stanek," said the fairy. "I go by the pronouns they/them."
Tokoyami gasped and his eyes widened at the revelation. "You're ALSO nonbinary!? Why, it is the greatest of honors to meet you!"
Jae smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Mx…"
"I am Fumikage Tokoyami."
Tsu put her index finger up to her chin. "This school seems to be very friendly towards the LGBTQ community, ribbit."
"Got that right!" said a voluptuous Black girl with long, curly, ombre-colored hair in a ponytail and greenish-brown eyes. She wore a purple vest with green trim, a white long-sleeve blouse, a dark purple skirt exactly like Jessa's and black loafers.
"Who are you?" asked Tsu.
"I'm Terra de Klerk!"
"Nice to meet you. I'm Tsuyu Asui, but my friends call me 'Tsu'."
Terra smiled. "Nice to meet you, too!"
And with that, bonding was well-set.
The students' first class was Human History, taught by Frank McQuarrie, a large brown troll wearing a white long-sleeve shirt, a black tie, a dark red kilt, long socks and brown leather dress shoes.
"A'richt, students, we hae six exchange students joining us th'day. Ye six, please come forward 'n introduce yourselves."
The UA Six stepped up to the front of the class and took turns introducing themselves:
"Good morning, everyone! My name is Izuko Midoriya, but you can call me 'Deko'! My Quirk…uh, power, I should say, is called 'One For All', which gives me great power passed down through generations. I like video games, reading, playing and listening to music, and cooking. It's nice to meet everybody!"
The class gave positive responses to Deko's introduction. Kacchan stepped up next:
"Hi, I'm Katsuki Bakugo, and all of you suck."
The class booed Kacchan's introduction, prompting McQuarrie to try to restore order:
"Class, settle doon! settle doon! Bakugo, hae ye na respect fur yer fellow students!? Ye shuid shaw mair respect while ye'r 'ere. Ah cuid break ye, sae apologize tae th' class."
Kacchan crossed his arms. "And if I don't…?"
"Then ah will hae na choice bit tae expel ye fae this schuil 'n tell yer faculty members whit an ill-behaved bastard ye'v bin."
Kacchan sighed. "Fine." He turned to the class. "I'm Katsuki Bakugo, and my Quirk is Explosion, which allows me to create explosions from my body. I like mountain climbing, playing drums, and spicy foods."
Next up was Todoroki:
"Hi there, I'm Shoto Todoroki, son of the #2 Pro Hero Enji Todoroki, aka 'Endeavor'. My Quirk is Half-Cold Half-Hot, which allows me to shoot ice from the right side of my body and fire from my left side. I enjoy video games, watching foreign films, playing and listening to music, and art. I'm also a firearms enthusiast."
Uraraka went next.
"Hey, I'm Ochaco Uraraka! My Quirk is Zero Gravity, which allows me to make anything I touch – as well as myself – to float. I like doll collecting, boxing, starlit skies and woodworking."
Tsu came after Uraraka.
"Hello everyone. I'm Tsuyu Asui, but my friends call me 'Tsu'. My Quirk is Frog, which allows me to do anything that a frog can, ribbit. This means I can swim underwater, hop long distances, extend my tongue for long distances, climb up any surface, camouflage myself and secrete a multipurpose toxic mucus. I can also spit out my stomach to clean it. That's not very useful, though. I like rain, hiking through forests, playing tabletop strategy games and jelly donuts. Thank you."
Finally, it was Tokoyami's turn:
"Greetings, students. I am Fumikage Tokoyami. My Quirk is Dark Shadow, which gives me control over a sentient being of the same name. My pronouns are they/them. I enjoy apple pie, dark places, playing and listening to music, falconry, and – like Tsu – I enjoy tabletop strategy games."
All of the UA Six – barring Kacchan – had gotten their fair share of applause. Then, McQuarrie got on with the day's lesson:
"Class, th'day we ur aff tae be learning aboot th' Godzilla movies. Th' Godzilla movies ur based oan th' incredible true story aboot howfur th' radioactive monster Godzilla attacked Tokyo in 1952 'n…"
Suddenly, Kacchan burst out laughing, which drew McQuarrie's ire:
"'n whit's sae funny, Bakugo?"
"Oh, that is so freakin' stupid! The Godzilla movies are true stories? Yeah, and Ronald Reagan invented the Internet!"
"Dinnae mock mah intellect! Mr. Reagan's stoatin contributions tae th' field o' telecommunications cannae be underestimated! Wi'oot th' modern Inturnet, lee as we ken it cuid nae exist!"
"Whatever, Rock Head."
"Th' name's nae 'Rock Head'! 'tis 'Mr. McQuarrie'! Git it richt!"
Kacchan rolled his eyes. It was gonna be a long day for him.
Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
