I'm gonna be honest and say that I didn't think I would get this far into the fic. But I am glad that people are enjoying it. Almost to a hundred favorites on the story really surprised me. I also know what element that Izuku will gain next so I hope you all enjoy that part. As always feel free to leave me feedback, it always helps.
Chapter 19: First Day
-Apartment Rooftop-
Izuku sits on the ledge of the rooftop looking at the sky and over the small city. He thought about all of the training and support he got before getting accepted into U.A. The support from his mother, the training from Iroh and Rengoku, and the help he got from the transparent world. The images of the two thunder breathers and single flame breather flash in his mind as he smiles. The sun rises in front of the boy giving the small town a beautiful glow.
He stands up and picks up the flame sword next to him. Getting into the stance of the fifth form he slowly goes through the motions of the attack. Rengoku told him that when it comes down to it there is no real set of strikes when using the fifth form. He will have to adapt to what is coming at him on the fly as he goes through the form. The stance makes him tense and requires him to consciously keep a hold on his sword as it gets heavier along with his legs getting difficult to move.
The attacks he swings with the blade are percise slashes at where an enemy would be. Each attack aims to either defend himself or to damage the enemy. Izuku keeps his breathing in mind as he keeps going through the motions slowly. He can feel his arms getting heavier the more he moves. The way that Rengoku was able to run at a high speed and keep up the form baffles the boy as he continues to attack an imaginary enemy with controlled slashes.
An alarm goes off signifying that he has to get ready for his first day at U.A. He steps out of the stance and picks up the sheathe of the blade and bows in respect. Sheathing the blade he heads back into the apartment for a shower and to change into his new uniform.
-20 Mins Later-
Izuku stands in front of his door mirror looking at the way his uniform fits him. The grey jacket over the white shirt hides the muscle he has making him look scrawnier than he really is. The red tie is not done correctly making it look a bit goofy but match his red shoes. The dark blue pants are a little baggy but still look nice on him. He smiles at finally getting to wear the uniform of his dream school.
He opens the door to see his mom standing in the hall holding his yellow backpack with a proud smile. Inko had to go to work soon and couldn't take Izuku to his first day of highschool which the boy was a little thankful for. They separated at the train station going into different directions. Izuku watched the city pass by as he thought of what the day would be like.
All of a sudden he feels a tap on his shoulder. He tenses up at the feeling and turns around slowly. The sight of purple hair and ear lobes longer than they should be made him smile shyly.
"Jiro! how morning are this doing you!?"
The boy practically shouted. A moment went by and he replayed what he said in his head. He sunk his shoulders and face palmed in embarrassment while the girl started to giggle. Izuku looked up at her smile and laughed a bit as well. She lightly punched his shoulder as they continued to laugh.
"I'm doing good you dork!"
He didn't flinch the slightest from the hit which could if left him with a small bruise if he was still thin. Izuku then noticed that she too had the U.A uniform on as well. He smiles even more at Jiro and points to the uniform.
"Nice, you also made it into U.A?"
She gives a thumbs up at him and grins widely. Moving her ear phone jacks they show the plug in pieces at the end. Izuku saw those the day they first met and has so many questions about them but didn't want to be rude. She sees him staring and mumbling to himself and uses the jacks to tap him on the forehead. He snaps out of his mumble rant and blushes at embarrassing himself again.
They both let a moment of silence go by as Izuku tries to calm himself down. Jiro just giggles at what happened before looking out the window. The city is in it's morning rush as people are walking around and moving about their day. The train pulls into a stop and they both exit making their way to the school.
"So how have you been since the entance exam?"
Izuku asks curiously trying to switch the subject. Jiro takes a moment to think as they continue to walk. Izuku spots the giant school ahead and starts to slow down to hear her answer.
"I've been pretty good. Doing some more trainjng with my earphone jacks so that I can be ready for what's to come. How about you?"
Izuku thinks of how to answer the question. He remembers all the training that he did with both Iroh and Rengoku along with his alone training.
"I have been training as well. My sword skills are getting a lot better along with training my fire and lightening."
The girl nods in surprise as she remembers the boy using two different elements during the physical exam to save the other test taker. She subconsciously wraps a jack around her finger as she things of a question to ask.
"So what's the deal with your quirk? Fire and lightening are two different things but you can control both?"
The boy shrugs with a look of 'I have no idea.' They make it to the gates of the school and see other students entering. Some of them have a look of excitement that gives away that they are also new while other older students continue on. They both stop at the entrance and look at the massive gate.
"Wow, I've dreamt of being a student here for so long and now it's finally happening."
Izuku said with sparkling eyes. Jiro nods in agreement though her look is not as extreme as his. Izuku takes another step only to trip on a piece of stone that is sticking out of the entrance path. Jiro tries to catch him but misses only for the boy to stay in place, feet not touching the ground. Both of them are staring at each other in shock.
"I'm sorry for using my quirk on you without permission! It would be bad luck to fall on your first day of school."
A familiar voice says behind Izuku. Both he sne jiro turn to see the brown haired girl that he saved in the entrance exam. She waves awkwardly at the two of them as they also wave back.
"Oh, uh thank you for catching me!"
Izuku says as he tries to touch the ground with his feet. The other girl takes a moment to realize that he's trying to het down and points at him while the brown haired girl sweat drops and places her hands together.
"My bad! release!"
Izuku falls to his feet and looks around confused. He turns around to look at the girl and bows. She gets a little red in the face at the action.
"Thanks for the save. We should get going now, don't want to be late on the first day."
He says quickly and both girls nod. They walk into the school and marvel at how big the halls are. There are many students walking to their classes or talking to one another. Izuku looks at the girls and tilts his head to the side.
"I forgot to ask but what class are you two going to?"
Both the girls answer at the same.
"Class 1-A!"
Izuku rubs the back of his head with a happy chuckle. Both girls stare at him a little confused before they ask him the same question back.
"I am also heading to class 1-A. Guess we'll be heroes in training together huh?"
They both nod at him and continue to walk through the hallway. Izuku studied the map of the school snd remembers where most of the rooms are. The girls follow behind him trusting that he knows where he's going. He turns to the brown haired girl while walking.
"By the way my name is Izuku Midoriya. It's nice to officially meet you."
Jiro looks at her as well with a small grin.
"And my name is Kyoka Jiro."
The brown haired girl's face gets a little more red. Izuku and Jiro then notice that her cheeks seem to have a small permanent blush at all times. They both have the same thought.
'Cute.'
The brown haired girl bows a bit as she introduced herself.
"My name is Ochako Uraraka, it is nice to meet you two as well!"
After the introductions were made the trio found themselves standing in front of a massive door. The room number '1-A' is seen above in big black letters. They give one another a look of determination before Izuku opens the door with little to no struggle surpising the girls.
'Hopefully I won't have to see Katsuki much this school year...'
Izuku thinks as he walks past the door only to sag his shoulders at what he sees next. Sitting in one of the desks with his feet on the table is none other than the explosive blonde himself. And to add a cherry on top he sees the boy from the beginning of the entrance exam with the glasses telling Katsuki to get his feet off of the desk. The scene would be more on the funny side if Izuku had known them differently.
"It's the first day of class and you're already disrespecting school property!"
The boy with classes says while making chopping motions with his arms. This only makes Katsuki grin as he looks the other boy in the eyes.
"What school put that stick up your ass glasses?"
He asks mockingly while tilting back in his seat. The other boy adjusts his glasses before answering in annoyance. The whole thing seeming to entertain Katsuki.
"My name is Tenya Iida and I come from Soumei Junior Academy!"
At the mention of the school Katsuki's smile changes into a glare. The now named Tenya is caught off guard by the look.
"Soumei huh? So you're one of those rich kids that thinks he's better than me? I can't wait to kick your ass and leave you in the dirt!"
Tenya gasps at what the blonde says while taking a step back. Izuku watches while thinking that the blonde will never change.
"You dare threaten me?! Your own classmate? What kind of thug are you?"
The whole class was now watching the two. The atmosphere in the room is tense with all the other students thinking that a fight is going to happen on the first day of highschool. Before anything else is said Ochako sneezes making everyone look at the new trio standing at the door entrance. Katsuki and Izuku make eye contact with the blonde clearly getting angrier.
"Deku! What the hell are you doing here?!"
Jiro and Ochako look at Izuku confused at the name. Before the greenette can say anything someone clearing their throat gets everyone's attention. They look in the front of the class where the noise was heard to see no one there.
"Down here."
A tired voice says as the students see what appears to be a man inside a yellow sleeping bag with only his face visible. All the students sweat drop at the appearance while others looked shocked.
"You are being too loud for my liking. Now everyone take your seats and listen up."
The man says as he crawls out of the sleeping bag. His appearance is that of a homeless man who hasn't slept in days. He wears black pants and a black long sleeve with what appears to be bandages around his neck. His hair is long and unkept with a scruffy face.
"My name is Shota Aizawa your homeroom teacher."
All the students look shocked at seeing that man be a teacher, especially at the best hero school in Japan. Izuku, Jiro, Ochako, and Iida find desks to sit at while the other students settle down and listen to what the man has to say. Aizawa steps behind the desk while holding the sleeping bag and taking out a juice pack from the side.
"It took you all eight seconds to quiet down. Next time I expect it to be a lot quicker than that."
He takes a long drink from the juice pack while staring down the class. A moment of awkward silence goes by before he continues to talk.
"The teachers here have three years to train and teach you all how to be pro heroes so there will be no slackers. Each teacher is given free reign on how to teach their class so each one will be different from the last."
Izuku is surprised to see how serious the man is. He wasn't expecting anything like this on the first day of class but it does make sense. He also thinks that the teacher seems familiar in a way. Like he has read or seen something that reminds him of the dark haired man. Aizawa reaches into his sleeping back and takes out a gym unifrom that is dark blue with red and white designs on it.
"Everyone take a gym uniform and meet me outside in the training field."
The walls in the class move to reveal twenty different slots with numbers on them. All the students took the case that had the same number as their seat position and went to the changing rooms. Aizawa watched them all head out of the class as he took another juice pack from the sleeping bag.
-15 Mins Later in Training Field-
All the students stood bunched up in front of Aizawa. The man stared each student in the face to get a good idea of who they are. He took out a baseball with a black band around it.
"In your middle schools you all took a series of physical tests without your quirks. The country wants to make you believe that everyone is equal but that's not how things really are."
He points at Katsuki who smirks in pride. Izuku rolls his eyes at the blonde's attitude.
"You, what was your middle school record for the softball throw?"
Katsuki smirks more as he takes a step forward and extends his arm with hand raised.
"I got sixty-seven meters without my quirk."
He says smugly. Some of the other students gasp at the answer while others showed looks of being impressed. Izuku hated to admit it but it is an impressive distance for a middle schooler. Aizawa didn't even bat an eye at the boy's answer. He tosses the ball to Katsuki who catches the ball without a second thought.
"You will throw that ball as hard as you can just like the middle school test, only this time use your quirk. Anything goes as long as you stay in that circle."
He says as he points to a white circle in the dirt field. Katsuki's grin turned onto a smirk that everyone saw. He slowly walks over to the circle and takes a look at the class. Izuku can feel the intense stare from the blonde as its honed in on him. Katsuki looks at the ball in anger and smoke is seen coming from his palm. He cocks his hand back and with a loud shout and big explosion he sends the ball flying into the air.
"DIE!!!"
Everyone watches in shock at the power the blonde possesses. Izuku is also shocked at how much stronger his old friend has gotten. He remembers when they were still in elementary school that he could only make small sparkles and pops with his quirk. When they all processed what he said everyone minus Aizawa had a sweat drop as they all shared the same thought.
'Die?...'
That is chapter 19 everyone! We are finally at the U.A part of the story. I'm excited to think about how I am going to make Izuku go through all the tests. I hope that those who are reading the story are enjoying it so far. I know what element that I'm going to give Izuku next too so be ready for that in the next few chapters. as always please leave a review and what you think of the story so far.
