Holy smokes we made it to chapter 30!

So, going to say this right now, I want to THANK ALL OF YOU who have stuck with this story up to this point. The level of enjoyment people have been having from my silly writings, honestly feels great ^^

So now it's a countdown to the Sports Festival, and boy oh boy, do we have some things to get through before THAT mess.

So hope you enjoy this chapter and please leave a comment or review and I'll happily answer them!

Also, I will like to point out that at some point in the VERY NEAR future, the writing is going to get a little spicy... And with that being said, I know how FFN tends to not allow that sort of writing. So, what I plan to do is editing out that part for readers here on FFN, but leave everything unedited on ao3 for all to enjoy.

It sucks, I know, and I rather not have to edit out part of the story, but I don't want the story to be deleted because it has romantic smut in it.

Reviews (FFN):

human dragon: Thank you, glad you have been enjoying the story.

Silvanium: Quinn's stunt was more the catalyst that caused the link, there were some other things going on between Quinn arriving in Hydaelyn's realm long ago, to the point where he found Izuku's "star". It will be better explained later on, but let's just say that little "stroll" took a LONG time for the former WoL to reach. So, the connection between the source and Earth is THERE... but it's very weak, and only someone/thing trying to go between the two would need a LARGE amount of Aether just to survive the trip.

And very good guess, but yes, the final battle mentioned was Zenos. As for him coming back? Well... maybe... granted we all know how Zenos just LOVES to body swap.

This "Nabriales" has very much gone Rogue, but the reasons for that shall remain a mystery, for now ;)

Firem78910: Grandma Inko is so much better than Time powers XD

fallendemon248: And just think, she'll be getting even more at some point :D

AnimeFan13579: Oh, the girls will be having a talk with Izuku about this, obviously he needs to explain himself, because they are the only ones who know about Izuku's true power.

Chapter 30

Eri, the Unicorn of Class 1-A

If someone had told Izuku the previous morning that he would be waking up to a small child sleeping beside him, clinging to him like some sort of giant green teddy bear, while also muttering out words such as "Papa" in a soft tone of voice. Well, Izuku would kindly refute that claim while also having a good chuckle about it with a blush on his cheeks. Him? A father? Hardly likely given his track record for romantic relationships.

Granted, this was before UA. But now? Despite only knowing the small girl for less than a day, he already felt a bond with her, not only due to their connection to the goddess but after having seen what Eri had been through… Izuku couldn't have been more enraged.

Sure, he was tormented as a kid himself, pretty brutally at times. But he still had days where things were moderately ok, while the little girl- no, his daughter, never had a single day of peace since discovering her quirk. If Izuku could turn back time, he would gladly take any of the pain she felt during those two years under the red masked man and his various "tormentors".

From the looks of those so-called doctors, it was no wonder why Eri had such an adverse reaction to Tokoyami and Dark Shadow. However, he was thankfully able to calm her down and explain that the "birdman" staying in the same building with them was a good guy while also divulging the knowledge that Dark Shadow liked apples, which surprisingly made Eri much more calmer and slightly drool at the mention of the fruit, but also taking a liking towards the "beastly shadow and its master".

As he gently nudged Eri to wake her up and as she cutely yawned, Izuku's mind started to worry about other things. Sure, the support from his mother was a bit of a shock. After all, he was just starting University and already adopting a six-year-old? Most parents would call him crazy for doing so. It was apparent that she didn't buy the lie about Eri's quirk being a teleportation quirk… so he'd have to deal with that aftermath later today.

But what was also creeping in his mind was the girls and their reactions. Sure, they were just as shocked as everyone when Eri had called him "papa", but the only one who didn't seem to hesitate to speak and get to know the child was Tsuyu, which made sense given that Eri was probably her baby sister's age. But Momo, Mina, and Kyoka? He saw them watching Eri interact with the others with obvious adoration, and he swore he heard Kyoka say to the others that "Eri was super cute."

However, this didn't mean that they would be ok with dating a guy with a child; it was hard enough to try to become heroes with their relationship, but now to add in raising a child into the mix?

Izuku couldn't blame them if they had decided to bow out, nor would he think less of them for it. But it was now pretty much a given that if they wished to date him, they would have to handle the responsibility of being Eri's mama as well.

That one thought really made Izuku blush hard.

After a relatively quiet breakfast, Eri asked questions about the different things she was coming into contact with for the first time. Aizawa had shown up at the dorms and froze when he saw Eri eating a piece of toast while looking at him with a tilt of her head. The teacher said nothing, looking more tired than usual as his gaze shifted towards the green-haired student who the small girl was sitting in the lap of.

"Nezu informed me of our new… guest… and wants to speak with you and your mother after breakfast. You have been excused from your classes for the rest of the day, Problem Child."

"Papa, what's a 'problem child'?"

That first word made Aizawa stiffen up, and his usually tired expression shifted into one of shock. At the same time, the other students that had been around the student, now parent, and his supposed daughter backed away.

Izuku chuckled nervously as he looked at Eri, "It's a special nickname that Mr. Aizawa likes to call me… it doesn't mean anything bad."

"At least I hope so." Izuku thought as Eri frowned for a moment in thought, then looked back to Aizawa with a curious look.

"Can I have a… ni..n.. nickname too?"

The room went silent with that request, everyone watching as their teacher slowly sighed and went to kneel down in front of the child and stare at her for a few moments, which made Eri flinch a little bit but still kept her gaze on the tired-looking man.

After a few moments, while he was smirking under his scarf to hide it from his students and the small child, he uttered one word, "Unicorn."

Eri blinked, as did Izuku and a few of the others as the small child tilted her head once again and asked, while also having a little trouble saying the word, "U-Unicorn, what's that?"

"It's a magical creature, Eri." Izuku spoke up, grabbing her attention for the moment, "They can appear suddenly; usually, they have a pure white mane and a single horn on their head. They are often used as a sign of elegance, but also bring people happiness."

Eri blinked for a moment and then turned her attention back to Aizawa, who raised an eyebrow when he saw the look of pure awe as suddenly Eri leaped up and hugged him tightly, "T-thank you, Unca 'Zawa!"

Everyone froze from the response given by the now dubbed "Unicorn of Class 1-A", even Aizawa was frozen stiff for a moment upon hearing Eri call him an Uncle. Still, he softened a bit and gently placed a hand on her head. Once Eri let go and nestled back against Izuku, the green-haired boy's complexion grew pale as he saw the severe yet stern look he got from his teacher, where he mouthed out the words "Not one word".

Aizawa rose up and gave his other students a similar look before looking back down to Izuku and Eri, "Hurry up with your breakfast, Problem Child, I'll go and let your mother know to come to the office right away as well since Recovery Girl needed some assistance with preparing the infirmary." And with not another word or glance, he walked out of the dorms.

Everyone relaxed with a collective sigh as Izuku looked down to Eri and asked, "Why did you call him 'Uncle'?"

Eri squirmed in his arms and looked shyly before speaking softly so only he could hear her, "One of the bad men… he treated me nicely, made sure I had food, would tell me stories of fights he was in… when I asked him for his name, he simply said to call him 'Unca'."

"So anyone who is super nice to you gets called 'Uncle'?"

"Mhmm! Like Unca Yami and Unca Shadow! They are not like the bad bird men, and Unca Shadow likes apples and gave me one!" Eri said aloud, pointing towards the bird-headed pair. Tokoyami was blushing a deep red, while Dark Shadow came out from under the cloak and squealed in delight.

"And you are the best niece ever, Eri!" cried the sentient quirk before being sucked back into embarrassed hero student, earning not only a few snickers from his classmates but a giggle from Eri, who enjoyed watching the two.

To say that the meeting with Nezu later on that day would go smoothly would be dead wrong, as, of course, anything in Izuku's short life had proven, nothing ever goes smoothly for him.

When Izuku, Eri, and his mother had entered the office, only to be met with not only Toshinori, Aizawa, and Recovery Girl in the room, did the young hero student know things may get ugly. Taking his seat, with Eri on his lap, Izuku held her close as the dean looked him squarely in the eye. No words were said until the little furred being chuckled and leaned back in his chair, tiny paws together, and spoke four words that sent shivers down his spine.

"So, you met her?"

A few tense moments of silence passed before Izuku gently nodded, and both Nezu and Recovery Girl sighed heavily. At the same time, Inko looked confused at the reaction between her two bosses.

It was then Inko learned what her son's true power was.

After a fainting spell that had lasted for almost ten minutes, until Recovery Girl had used some waking salts to raise Inko, the poor mother learned everything that involved Izuku with being the Warrior of Light. From when he received his powers, to the various kits he had and why so many of them just broke so many of the rules when it came to quirks, to also how Eri came into their lives, and his disappearance from class was not caused by a teleportation quirk that Eri has, but because by the now smaller crystal hanging from the child's neck.

Izuku winced when she lightly flicked her son's forehead as "punishment" for lying to her in the first place since they had an understanding that they would not keep secrets from one another anymore. Izuku received double punishment when Eri, the sweet child that she was, had attempted to flick Izuku as well because he did a bad thing to "grandma Inko".

That had caused Aizawa to speak up and address the issues now involving the said child. While it was nothing of fault regarding Eri, nor would he blame her, he did point out that raising a child was highly illogical for a single eighteen-year-old. That was when Nezu had dropped the bomb.

Through his various networks of people, he informed everyone in the room as to Eri didn't exist to any records. Any forms or reports from when she was born to where she had lived or who her guardians were had been cleaned out or destroyed.

Izuku held Eri close, who looked confused due to all the big words used when she winced and gently rubbed her bandaged arm. Izuku gently looked down and asked if her arms were hurting, and she calmly nodded, saying she didn't want to bother anyone.

That nearly tore his heartstrings, as well as most of the others in the room as Izuku gently moved Eri to his mother, who quickly scooped the small child up in her arms. He gently whispered into his mother's ear to take Eri to the infirmary and see if she could ease some of the pain, wanting to fully explain Eri's circumstances without upsetting her.

Inko nodded, and after convincing Eri to come with her to stop the aching in her scars and have an apple lollipop afterward as a reward. Once they were sure Eri was no longer in earshot, Izuku described what he had learned about Eri from the vision he had been given by Hydaelyn.

From the small child's overly powerful quirk, to the two years in literal hell being experimented upon by Kai Chisaki, to also the news that Eri was the first human born with a substantial amount of aether within her body, which shocked Recovery Girl, while also made Nezu snicker, causing Izuku to frown and look questioningly at the dean, before being waved off by the small furry creature.

Suffice it to say, the meeting ended within thirty minutes with a few key factors. For one, Eri was not to leave the UA grounds for any reason until Nezu had deemed it safe for her. It was clear to everyone in the room that she would be hunted down by her captures, and not knowing where she originally came from within the city made it that much more difficult to figure out where they were operating from primarily. Secondly, while Izuku was ahead of the class for this first year, the boy still needed to focus mainly upon his studies; if Eri's presence had caused him to drop his current scores considerably, Eri would be taken care of primarily by his mother.

While Izuku could feel his heartache at that stipulation, the reasoning for such was not made because they didn't think he would be a positive role model for the girl, but Izuku knew he was here to train to become a hero. He had to have his priorities straight. One of the last decisions made was, after confirming it with Inko, to have the small spare room in the dorm manager's suite to be converted into Eri's own private bedroom. This was, of course, when she would be ready. For now, she would be staying in Izuku's room until she was comfortable.

And just as the meeting was about to end, Izuku had asked for the others to listen to a favor for him regarding Eri. And as Izuku began to explain himself and list the possible reasons why they should allow this, Nezu's eyes seemed to glint while smiling at his "personal student". At the same time, Aizawa sighed heavily and muttered the boy's nickname.

Izuku scribbled into his notebook as the battle on the field raged on; Ojiro had been sparring against one of their "sister" students in Class 1-B, a boy named Juzo Honenuki. Despite a mutation that gave him a somewhat "scary" look, Izuku could see Honenuki's intelligence shine with how he could often keep the distance between himself and his sizeable tailed opponent with his quirk, which allowed him to change the properties of the cement battlefield (provided by Cementoss who was watching the various fights himself as a special guest speaker), to soften into something akin to quicksand or harden back to its previous state in a flash.

A whistle going off knocked him out of his thoughts as he saw Ojiro had been finally caught in the quicksand and trapped within the floor; the cheers of Class 1-B roared loudly while the groans of Class 1-A echoed out while Juzo helped Ojiro out of the ground, being the good sportsman he was.

"HAHAHA! Excellent work, both of you! And congratulations, young Honenuki, for an outstanding performance!" All Might shouted loudly as he went to both of the boys who were currently panting from their rather intense spar, "And young Ojiro, a good attempt! But do not be dismayed that you lost; this is merely a single setback for you to improve upon, and perhaps in the future, this will provide you better expertise with villains who used range-based quirks!"

Ojiro nodded and turned to Juzo, bowing his head and thanking him for a good spar, the other boy doing the same before they both returned to their respective classes, the other thirty-eight students all sitting in bleachers and talking and offering both congratulations and words of encouragement. All Might's throat clearing caught everyone's attention as he stood upon the now repaired battle platform with Aizawa, Cementoss, and Class 1-B's homeroom teacher Vlad King standing just behind him as the number one pro smiled brightly, "Such a great spar between two more of UA's wondrous heroes in training! While my assistant from this morning has already given me recorded data of this morning's fights and watching the few I have been able to see with my own eyes this afternoon, I can already see the great potential being displayed between both classes!"

"Excuse me, Mr. All Might, sir." The blonde boy from 1-B named Neito Monoma spoke up with his hand raised. Once All Might had acknowledged him with a nod, the boy spoke up, "While your assistant this morning didn't provide us with any details when we asked… but what is the point of all this? Class 1-A already has the spotlight on them after the USJ. Is this simply to give them more of an edge for the upcoming sports festival by displaying our quirks in front of them?"

"It's not like we asked to be attacked!" Kirishima shouted and glared at the blonde, a few others from both classes starting to hell and argue between the two. Thankfully, both sides were silenced with a loud clap coming from the blonde pro before them.

"Before I answer your question, young Monoma, be aware that I was informed of the rivalry between the years before this one. Why I remember it when I attended this fine institution 'lo those many years ago!" All Might said with a trademark smile, "But from what I was told, it has gotten to the point where the two classes simply will not cooperate together, even after they graduated. This is why I planned this special heroics class. Usually, the classes wouldn't normally start doing group exercises until their second year. I did this to prevent that sort of issue happening."

"I am not saying that having a rivalry between the two classes is a bad thing, however." All Might spoke, with his hands on his hips, "A healthy one can actually motivate and empower the two parties to improve themselves, learning from previous mistakes and perhaps working together in some scenarios. As there will be times during your internships later on where you will be together with those from the other class."

"Let me be clear," All Might's smile faded slightly, "Yes, the USJ incident will have everyone's eyes on 1A, and it is something I truly wished no one here would ever have to experience as the villains that attacked were targeting me. But, this is not why I decided to make this special class, as some sort of 'favoritism' for Class 1-A."

"I am the number one hero, and I fully understand what would happen should I one day retire from heroics, or… the worst-case scenario, I am killed in action." All Might said in a somber tone, his icy blue eyes looking at the reactions from the reality of him being gone hitting them, "When I am gone, villains will think that they can take back the streets and cause chaos and destruction, or much worse if we are not prepared for it. That is why I am shifting my primary focus from heroics to teaching you, the next generation, so that when the inevitable happens, our beautiful country will not be without its protectors. The populace will need you to stand up to the waves of crime and villains with as much of a presence as I have!" The pro hero smiled proudly, "It will be your turn to take up the mantle as the protector of the people, and my goal is to make sure that when they call out for a hero, each and every one of you can all proudly call out, 'I AM HERE'!"

Both classes stood up from their seats cheering for All Might, most having been pumped up by his speech as Izuku smiled brightly, watching his favorite hero encouraging him and his classmates.

"Now! Onto our next match!" All Might shouted loudly as Aizawa called out the next two combatants down to the fighting area, as the rest of the students began to talk and make guesses as to the winner of the two fighters.

Izuku flipped open a new page of his notebook when the soft "clanks" against the metal bleacher caught his attention before suddenly getting tackled from the side by Eri, "Papa! Look at what Gramma got me!" The small child exclaimed while she stepped back to show off her new outfit for him.

Turning around for him, Eri was wearing a white button-up shirt with a rather red but adorable dress that had straps comfortably resting on her small shoulders with big yellow buttons sewn on to connect the two straps to the dress. She was wearing black tights with red rubber boots on her feet that looked suspiciously similar in design to Izuku's own red sneakers. Eri also happened to have a small green side bag decorated with tiny plastic flowers.

"Wow! Look at you, Eri!" Izuku said with a big smile that caused the girl to sit down beside him, "Grandma really picked out a nice outfit for you. Did you thank her?"

Eri nodded her head before the heavy panting of said "grandmother" caught both of their attentions. Inko stopped a few feet short of the duo as she gasped for air a little, "Eri, sweety... You can't go running off like that; Grandma can't keep up with you…."

Eri slowly looked down, a look of complete hurt on her face as she sniffed, her eyes starting to tear up, thinking that she hurt her grandmother and that because of such, they would get rid of her. Those fears were dashed when she felt not only the gentle hug from Izuku but Inko as well. She looked up to her papa and then her grandma as Inko smiled down at the child, "I'm not mad at you, Eri, it's just I'm not as young as you or your papa, so I don't have the energy to run after you when you bolt like that… I know you were excited to show Izuku your new outfit, but please don't run off like that unless you get permission from your father or me, alright?"

Although still looking a little upset, due to her inner turmoil, Eri very gently nodded before hugging her grandmother and muttering out a "sorry", for which both Inko and Izuku gently smiled and continued to hug her gently, causing the little girl to cheer up.

From afar, the rest of Class 1-A simply watched the very adorable and heartwarming scene, though there were one or two that looked away. Momo smiled gently as she watched Izuku talk with Eri and showed her his notebook, and watched the little girl's eyes open wide in awe at all the pages he no doubt filled up already. She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned her head to be met face to face with the floating head of one Setsuna Tokage, whose face was wearing her usual shit-eating grin as she spoke, though low enough as not to let the small family overhear her, "So, who's the munchkin? And why is she calling greenie 'Papa'? And more importantly…" the disembodied head floated closer, her voice slightly more profound with a teasing undertone, "Who's the 'Mama'?"

The afternoon progressed rather quickly if Izuku had to be honest.

Once Eri and his mother had shown up, All Might had introduced them to both classes as the afternoon's "on-call nurses" and that made most if not all of the girls coo and gasp as Eri had a tiny little nurses hat on her head when the time came up.

Izuku knew he would make Eri a special dessert tonight for dinner as a reward for how she did today. He knew that his "daughter" was still very intimidated by most of his classmates, both within class 1-A and 1-B. Still, he watched as eventually, Eri would give off band-aids or small tubes of muscle relaxant to the various students, with Inko behind her just in case something went wrong.

What was more interesting was the interaction between Eri and Todoroki.

It was no shock that Eri would instantly take an immediate interest in the stoic loner of 1-A, not that they had interacted much. But from the way that Eri would often stare at him, or more stare at the rather large scar that surrounded Shoto's left eye, Izuku knew she would either ask about it, or Todoroki may tell her off for her constant staring. But he had to hand it to the little girl, as she had worked up enough courage to walk up to him after his spar between one of the other boy's of Class 1-B, whose name was Nirengeki Shoda (who was being currently thawed out by the teachers due to Todoroki just encasing him in ice instantly.)

Izuku, as did the rest of the students, watched as Eri offered a small tub of lotion. Todoroki had looked down and raised his single eyebrow at her while taking it. He asked why she was showing it to him when he was fine, but the answer Eri gave him nearly shook everyone to their core.

"It looked like that patch over your eye hurts… this helps when mine hurts."

And that's when most people who were close enough could see the ends of the scars that no doubt riddled her arms as the sleeve of her shirt slid slightly past her wrist. Eri hadn't noticed the sleeve slip as she lowered her arm back down; the scars were once again hidden. Todoroki was staring at the child before he gently knelt down and spoke softly to her. However, Izuku couldn't quite hear it, seeing Eri nod with affirmation and a hint of a smile ghosting her lips before running back to Inko. Izuku soon felt the gaze of the dual-haired boy on him with a look he couldn't quite place as Todoroki's eyes squinted at him.

Izuku was snapped out of the staring contest by the boisterous call of All Might, "Young Midoriya! It is your turn!"

Izuku nodded, placing his notebook and pencil inside the nurse's bag that his mother had left beside him while she and Eri saw the now thawed-out Shoda. Eri gave him a wave of encouragement as Izuku returned it before stepping up onto the battle platform where All Might was waiting with one of the Class 1-B girls.

Standing beside the giant blond was a woman of average height with bright orange hair tied off to the side of her head. Although she was wearing the standard UA gym outfit like the rest of the students had been, Izuku noticed how her pant legs were rolled up to just be below her knees. She had a bright smile on her face when she bowed slightly to Izuku, "Hi there! I'm Itsuka Kendo of Class 1-B!"

"Ah!" Izuku stammered suddenly, bowing as well to the girl, "I-I'm Izuku Midoriya, of Class 1-A."

All Might watched as his successor was fumbling, rather severely, trying to talk to the other classmate, who seemed to be giggling at his attempts to be friendly. In the old pro's mind, he mused and chuckled that while Izuku was getting better at interacting with people in general, despite having several female friends, the poor boy was still a mess when it came to girls he barely knew.

Shaking his head slightly to remain focused on the lesson, All Might first looked at Izuku, then to Kendo, his smile brightened, "ALL right! This will be today's final sparring match!" he bellowed out with a solid bit of laughter afterward, before speaking low enough for the two students to hear just him, "As much as I am sure both of you want to give it your all, I would recommend dialing it back a little, this is only sparring, not full-on combat like in the battle trials."

When All Might got the nod from both of his students, he gave them a thumbs up, "Good, now wait till you hear the bell, and we will begin!"

As the blonde hero walked back towards the awaiting group of students and teachers, Kendo looked to Izuku with a smirk, "I'm guessing you went a little overboard yourself during the first heroic class too, huh?"

The green-haired boy looked to his opponent, but he chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his head, "Y-yea… I may have sent one of my classmates through a few of the cement walls before they were stopped by a building outside of the training area…."

Kendo merely whistled, crossing her arms and under her chest as she giggled lightly, "Funnily enough, I did the same thing to Tsuburaba although it was sending him through a few of the floors until he hit ground level." which led to her nervously giggling as Izuku paled slightly.

"H-how many floors?" Izuku asked, more out of morbid curiosity for the sake of his notebooks which he would be updating later tonight.

Kendo blushed gently, her arms now uncrossed, and she rubbed her forearm a little in embarrassment, "T-the rooftop."

Izuku's eyes widened in shock from the answer given, which caused the girl to shift on her feet a little in embarrassment before Izuku's shocked morphed into amazement and started to ask a few dozen questions about her quirk and how strong it was, stunning the orange-haired woman.

From the bleachers, while most of 1-B were utterly confused from the rapid amount of questions Izuku was asking, as members of class 1-A sighed comically at the fact that this may take a while, the girls of class 1-A sitting separately from the boy's as not only speak amongst themselves but also to keep a particular pair of eyes off of them. Tsuyu croaked suddenly when she felt a slight tugging on her sleeve to her left and turned her head to Eri, who was looking a bit perplexed and little nervous around the frog-like woman, but after having talked with Todoroki, seemed to retain some of that courage to try and speak to the other students, "W-what's papa doing?"

"Well, your papa really likes to analyze people's quirks, Eri. It's a hobby of his, kero." Tsuyu said before looking back out to the two students on the field, with Izuku now embarrassed for asking all of his questions and Kendo trying her best to calm him down, just as Aizawa was calling out to them to stop wasting time. Eri's next question caught her attention as her wide eyes shifted back to the small child.

"What's a 'hobby'?"

"A hobby is an activity that someone likes to do in their spare time, it can be anything from reading to writing, to making music or… Kero, in Izuku's case, analyzing quirks." Tsuyu further explained, causing Eri to think deeply for a moment before her eyes went wide, and she nodded to herself before bowing slightly to Tsuyu and dashing off towards Inko, who was sitting a little further down from the students.

"With how many questions she asks, I'm shocked she isn't the green bean's actual kid." A voice from the immediate right of the women said as all six heads turned toward Setsuna, who was smiling with her trademark razor-sharp teeth on full display. Behind her were the rest of the girls from 1-B, who offered small well-meaning greetings before sitting down beside their "sister" class.

"Eri already seems to have bonded quite quickly to Izuku, just as fast as she did to Inko shockingly, all under twenty-four hours of meeting the pair," Momo said as the large group of women now turned towards the interaction of said grandparent and grandchild, the younger of which sipped some juice out of a small little packet with a tiny little tupperware container on her lap full of fruits, including some apples.

"They have that sort of vibe to them." Kyoka said as she looked at Momo, "Let's face it, Inko is very easy going and also very approachable, and despite Izuku's usual timidness, he is the same. You know you can trust them just by interacting with one or the other for a short period."

"Still, for a student of the university to adopt a child this soon after starting seems very … and I don't mean to be rude by saying this, but irresponsible?" The vine-haired Ibara Shiozaki spoke up, "Though from what we were told about him, it would make sense that it would happen?"

"Oh?" Kyoka said with a raised yet irate eyebrow, clearly not liking this woman who seemed to think ill of Izuku. Any anger she had disappeared when the blonde, horned girl suddenly spoke up in very broken japanese.

"Green boy, very kind! Setsuna tells us that already saved from bad guys!" The clearly foreign girl said with a bright smile, which slowly faded when all she got in return from the rest of the girls were confused looks.

Setsuna, thankfully, spoke up and caught the blonde's attention, "It's alright, Pony, you just got a little too excited again… just take a deep breath and try it once more, just slower, o.k.?"

The now identified Pony nodded, taking a deep breath before slowly speaking once again, "The green boy is very nice; Setsuna told us about how he saved people from bad guys before school started." A collective 'ah, ok' came over the other girls that made Pony smile brightly again, clearly happy they could understand her a second time, which earned her a head pat from Setsuna.

"Agreed; the stories that our lizard-like friend has regaled us with his heroics shows he would rush out to save anyone, no matter the consequences." Another girl spoke out, her hands in front of her like one would see on a stereotypical rendition of a ghost, "He seems to rush into things without thinking things over from what we have been told."

"Not... usually…" Mina said while rubbing the back of her head, knowing that while Izuku was very intelligent and quick to figure out problems, he did tend to just rush into danger and other situations without clear thought, "He's brilliant, but honestly, there are times I wonder if he's too darn 'heroic' for his own good."

"MINA!" Momo said, aghast, her hand covering her mouth from the shock.

"I mean! Remember the 'you-know-what'? From what you, Tsu, and Kyo told us, it sounded like he just blindly rushed in to face..." The pink girl started to mumble and fidget with her hands, "I love Izuku, I really do... But he just worries me sometimes, you know?"

"I know, Mina… There are times where he does seem to value others' well-being far from his own, which is fine for our line of work, but I do worry his own views of self-worth are horribly low." The heiress said somberly with a sigh.

"Whoa, hold on!" Setsuna raised an eyebrow looking at her two friends before settling on the pink-skinned one, "Mina, girlfriend, buddy, gal pal… since when do you love Izuku?"

It was then that Mina realized just who was AROUND them just then during her little admittance, not just the girls that already knew what was going on between her, Izuku, and the others, but now their 1-B counterparts. She was smiling brightly but still a little embarrassed and began to shift from side to side. However, before Mina could fully explain herself, or why three of the other girls of class 1-A were also blushing just as much as she was, a grunt of pain coming from the battle platform caught their attention as Setsuna winced and hissed low as did the others at seeing Izuku getting tossed and punched about by Kendo, "Oh, Greenie's in trouble now."

"How do you figure, kero?" asked Tsuyu with a tilt of her head; Setsuna took her eyes off the fight for a moment and smirked at the frog girl.

"Our class rep down there is freaking awesome when it comes to martial arts; she's been learning since she was a toddler as her family owns its own dojo, and since middle school, she has been winning tournaments left and right." Setsuna looked back to the fight, grinning and watching Kendo toss Izuku around a few more times, all the while the green-haired boy was getting back up and going after her again, "Heck, she's the region's top martial artist in quirkless combat for the last two years in our age category, and I know she could probably give some of our teachers a run for their money when she goes all out. And when she does, she uses her quirk, and that makes her techniques even more powerful."

"So, she's not taking him seriously, kero?"

"All Might did ask them to tone it down," Kyoka quickly commented, twirling her right ear jack around as the girls all looked to her surprised. However, the ones who knew the punk rocker quickly realized as to why, "Even when he whispers it's still pretty loud, but, yea, they are taking it seriously, at least doing so with how much they are holding back."

As everyone looked back to the fight, now having Izuku being tossed over Kendo's shoulder for the umpteenth time of this match, it was Uraraka who noticed the look that Izuku was giving Kendo and instantly recognized it, "Uh oh…."

"What's wrong, Ochako?" Toru asked from beside her, her clothes shifting to show she was looking at the brunette.

"Izuku is looking at Kendo like he did Tsu during our assessment tests." She replied, sounding quite cryptic to the 1-B girls, but the rest instantly knew what would happen. Without another word, Momo began to create sunglasses and quickly distribute them amongst the small group, causing further confusion to their sister class.

"Trust me, you'll thank us when it happens." Kyoka said as she placed her own pair on.
