Here's the second chapter, but before you all begin. I do have something I like to share. The reason why I didn't change anything major before USJ Incident is because this is how I ignore some events I find irrelevant to change. But whether people move on or stay for the story is something can't and won't control, what matters is that I keep working until the first season is finished.
That is all, and enjoy the second chapter!
Classroom 1-A
After everyone had changed clothes and completed today's lesson, the rest of the afternoon was spent on social interactions among classmates. However, Neo may have gathered the most crowd with her overall performance in combat training.
"Seriously, Neo-chan. That quirk of yours is super cool!" Mina remarked,
"And with that whole trick of being on the first floor throughout the match. You even had all of us fooled when Todoroki froze the building," Kirishima added,
"Not to brag, but I would've liked to trade Quirks with yours any day," Mineta said casually while hiding his illicit intentions beneath his words. However, it didn't fool Tsuyu as she briefly slapped the purple-haired boy with her froggy tongue,
Neo's only response was some nodding and a few short words on a written, then came Hagakure as she went to her side, "Alright, Alright! That's enough, you guys. we all know Neo-chan's cool but she'd like some space if she can. She can get anxious quite easily. Especially there's a lot of people around her."
"Really? In that case, we're sorry that we didn't ask," Mina quickly apologized,
Neo made a look of reassurance and wrote the following message on a whiteboard for them: "It's alright."
"You know that reminds me," Sero stated and directed his attention toward Hagakure. "How is it that you two became friends?"
"It was on the first day we met," Hagakure revealed. "Everyone was so interested in her Quirk that they hounded her for a bunch of requests. It's bad enough that she couldn't tell them, but I went and gave them a piece of my mind!"
Neo then wrote on her whiteboard and showed them the following details: "However, a bunch of boys went and mocked Tooru-chan for keeping me to herself, and her quirk even when she just wanted to protect me. So I gave them a piece of something after they pushed her,"
"Well, that's rude of them!" Mina yelled, "I hope they got in trouble!"
"They did," Hagakure revealed, and she placed her hand on Neo's head. "Neo pulled it off without the teacher knowing it. Since that day, we've been inseparable until she moved to Shikaku Academy."
"That would explain why she lunged at you," Sato stated,
"But that reminds me. During Combat Training, you mentioned something about Neo-chan being a master Magician. I thought she only used her Quirk to win against Todoroki-kun," Tsuyu said,
"During middle school, Neo took an interest in magic performances. The ones performed without quirks," Hagakure explained. "She was popular with them, and one of her greatest acts was something she performed on me with her quirk."
Neo knew what Hagakure was discussing and stood up from her desk to perform the trick. Those around her and those watching were curious to see the trick, even with her Quirk added to the mix. Neo pulls out what appears to be a towel that covers Hagakure's face, conjures a magic wand in hand, and gives it a wave before lightly tapping her friend's head once.
After a three-finger countdown, Neo removed the towel, and everyone in the class was in awe at Hagakure's pretty face behind her invisibility Quirk.
"Is that what you really look like without your Quirk? You look so cute, Tooru-chan," Mina complimented,
"Thanks, that means a lot," Hagakure said with a flattered look and rubbed the back of her head with an invisible hand,
Neo seems content, knowing that her classmates here at U.A. High appreciate Hagakure's company whether or not she's fully invisible due to her Quirk. When they were apart, she often wondered how she was faring in their old school and hoped she didn't suffer much bullying due to her invisibility.
Now, she no longer has to worry, as their classmates are more open and sociable to interact with, and Neo would try to get used to them—even when they're under U.A. High's possibly rigorous schedule.
Moments later, their classroom door opened, and Izuku entered the room with an arm sling. With that, almost everyone went and greeted the green-haired boy. They shared their names, praised his efforts, and so much more while Neo sat on her desk and watched them with Hagakure.
Then they turned to hear Iida lecturing Tokoyami sitting on the desk and demanded that he stop as it was a sign of disrespect to the seniors who once sat on them and those who made them. His overbearing nature of being a strict and model student was amusing to see, and Neo amused herself more by standing and patting Iida on the back.
However, he misinterpreted her intentions as he continued to scold Tokoyami, "See, even Valentina-san agrees! We much respect our former peers by not sitting on the desks they once sat on!"
"You shouldn't have supported him," Tokoyami said directly to Neo,
Her response was to shake her head, followed by a cheeky look. Tokoyami said nothing else and accepted things as they were.
"So that's what you look like without the invisibility," Jun remarked as she tended to Hagakure with Ojiro, Jiro, Shoji, and Yaoyorozu. "And they were right; you really look cute."
"Thanks, but this is Neo's most accurate assumption. I still don't know what I look like without my Quirk," Hagakure replied,
"How did she measure your overall appearance? Did she have to touch you to do it?" Jiro inquired,
"She did, and it's not just to my face, too!" Hagakure admitted without hesitation,
This led to a misunderstanding as Jiro looked rather flustered, Ojiro was speechless, Shoji widened his eyes, and Yaoyozoru placed the tips of her fingers against her lips. On the other hand, Jun looked incredibly cheeky with a Cheshire cat grin and the constant waggling of her tail. "Eh? You let someone like her explore around that body of yours? I didn't know you had such interests."
"It isn't like that, Jun-san! It's just that I like people seeing me without my quirk! That's all!" Hagakure bashfully exclaimed,
Moments later, Neo tugged on Jun's uniform and showed her message as the latter turned. "Floating swimsuit"
"Oh? Is there something you'd like to share with us, Neo-chan? If so, we're all inclined to know that story," Jun insisted, whilst donning the same grin as before,
"Neo-chan!" Hagakure whined,
"I don't think I would want to hear such a story," Ojiro objected. "It kinda feels dirty."
"S-Same here," Jiro timidly followed while whirling her Earphone jack, and Shoji sided with them with a nod,
"What about you, Yaoyorozu?" Jun asked as she turned to her. "With someone whose costume exposes a lot of skin, I'm sure you're eager to know the details."
"Um... Honestly, I designed my costume to utilize my Quirk more efficiently. It's not because I made out of style or anything," Yaoyorozu explained,
"Momo-chan..." Hagakure said with relief,
Then, all that relief was crushed when Yaoyorozu stated the following: "But considering Neo Quirk's versatility and ingenuity, I'm quite interested to know the details."
"That's the spirit, Yaoyorozu!" Jun said with a thumbs up,
"OI!" Hagakure explained, and Neo just snickered before revealing the tale through her quirk instead of writing,
If these two weren't enough to embarrass Hagakure, the others gathered around and witnessed Neo detailing everything about the 'Floating Swimsuit' story after Izuku left to find Bakugo. She and Hakagure went to the beach together, and the latter was wearing a swimsuit she had bought.
Hagakure's swimsuit that day caught a lot of attention from the boys, who made open comments about her. Some girls were sneering and frowning because she was getting all the attention. Because of this, Neo purposely dragged Hagakure out and used her quirk to reveal her entire body after proper measurements were made.
This led to Neo openly but unintentionally revealing Hagakure wearing her swimsuit to her class, and the latter began swatting it away before any more of the image was seen. A few seconds of it were enough to acknowledge how well she utilized her quirk for her friend's sake.
"Wow... You really rocked with that body, Hakagure. I'm impressed," Jun cheekily said.
"Please stop, Jun-chan! Even though I was happy, I didn't know I'd feel embarrassed when people can actually see me!" Hagakure said with her invisible hands pressed against her face,
"Still, that rocking body of yours sure is great to see," Mineta remarked, albeit with a lecherous look,
This led to Neo tapping him on the shoulder, and he turned to see her with a miniature size of him in her hand. Moments later, she grasped the body of Mineta's miniature self and squeezed it tightly enough to pop the head off and have it roll around her desk with a dead expression on its face,
This caused Mineta to lower his perverted tendencies around Hagakure and hope that he doesn't get on her bad side any time soon...
"That reminds me. During Combat Training, we're well aware that you could create clones of Jun and Tooru. Does that mean you could do the same to all of us as well?" Mina inquired,
Neo would do more than create clones as she stood up from her chair, used her Quirk on herself, and struck a pose after she assumed Mina's hero appearance, "You bet I can!"
"That's my voice!" Mina exclaimed,
"This is unreal," Sero expressed,
Neo grins in the same manner as Mina and then mimics some of her classmates and teachers. These forms consist of Kirishima and Sero despite their height difference, Yaoyorozu despite their size difference, and even Aizawa in his hero costume and capture weapon. She even made it such that the latter's capture weapon functions properly as the original, but it doesn't share the same strength and durability as the original.
In simple terms, Neo could transform into anyone in Class 1-A and possibly anyone in U.A. High whenever she desires. She may even create an army of All Might clones if she wishes. But as Neo revealed in training, the clones themselves wouldn't purely match All Might's overall strength and durability and can shatter like glass as Shoji did.
As for the clones copying their respective Quirks, besides that of Jun, it has yet to be seen...
What comes after is everyone returning home for the day, but they would soon find themselves in quite a predicament.
The Following Day...
After word of All Might becoming a faculty member of U.A. High, the entrance was swarming with interviewers, and Neo was awfully timid in the crowd. Fortunately, she had Hagakure by her side, and the latter took a deep breath before turning to her friend, "Don't worry about them, Neo-chan. Just stay close to me."
Neo had her arms tightly wrapped around Hagakure's, and the two walked their way toward the entrance. This soon caught the interviewer's attention and swarmed around them like vultures. "Excuse me! Can you two share your thoughts about All Might being a teacher?"
"Sorry, but I'm afraid my friend and I have something important to do in class. Also, she gets really nervous around crowds, so I'll see you all later!" Hagakure said, and they hurried their way through the entrance gate,
Since they're well informed that U.A. High's defenses would only activate towards trespassers, those interviewers wouldn't be able to follow them through. Neo calms herself after they've reached the entrance and releases her friend's arm.
She then tugged on her friend's shoulder and gestured the following: "Thank you, Tooru-chan."
Even with invisibility, Neo could tell she was smiling as she patted her head. "No worries, Neo-chan."
Class 1-A
Everyone was gathered once more, and Aizawa nonchalantly congratulated his students for yesterday's combat training. Though he would give remarks on Bakugo for his attitude and Izuku's reckless use of his Quirk and that the same excuse wouldn't work all the time.
What follows after his advice to him is another matter in homeroom: "Sorry about the late notice, but today, I'll have you..."
Everyone was tense because Aizawa was about to put everyone through another special test. Fortunately, today was a relatively normal activity, "decide on a class representative."
With that, almost everyone in the class wanted to be the Class Rep. Neo wouldn't partake in such a role since she doesn't do well with responsibility. If anything, she's fine with anyone else becoming Class Rep.
"Silence, please!" Iida yelled, "It is a job with the serious responsibility of leading others. It is not a job for just anyone who wants to do it. It is a calling that requires the trust of those around you. If we want to use democracy to decide on a true leader, then we should hold an election to choose one."
But despite how serious his speech was, he too was raising his hand, and Neo found herself snickering at such a sight that a model student was also eager for the position.
After some discussions, everyone settled for a class election. Once all the votes have been tallied, including those who voted for themselves, the majority goes to Izuku with three votes, while Iida and Yaoyorozu are tied with two.
"Why, Deku?! Who voted for him?!" Bakugo yelled,
"Well, it's better than voting for you," Sero remarked for obvious reasons,
While Bakugo goes about his rant, Iida wonders who would vote for him. But that was revealed when Jun lounged against her chair, "Dang, Iida. You and Momo are tied for second. Quite the predicament for Deputy Class Rep,"
"You voted for me?" Iida questioned in a surprised manner.
"Of course. Despite your obvious eagerness and high-strung attitude, you seemed capable of the role. And since I hold no interest in being Class Rep, I've made you my first choice in the election."
Iida, genuinely touched by her words, stood up from his chair and bowed his head. "I'm grateful, Ikumi-san!"
"Does that mean you voted for yourself too, Tenya-kun?" Tsuyu inquired,
"Huh? No," Iida said as he raised his head,
"Then... Who's the other vote?" Sato inquired,
Neo answered by knocking on her desk to gather their attention. Then, she raised her hand to reveal herself as Iida's second vote. Jun was one thing, but Neo was entirely different.
"You've voted for me as well? Why?" Iida questioned,
Neo wrote her answer on the whiteboard and revealed her answer to him, "You were great, Iida-kun."
Once again, Iida felt grateful and directed his bow to her again, "Thank you for your vote, Valentina-san!"
Neo smiled with a nod, and another round for the election between Yaoyorozu and Iida occurred. Even though Iida had received the usual vote with Jun, Neo, and a handful of other students, Yaoyorozu was picked by the majority of the class.
Thus, Izuku Midoriya and Momo Yaoyorozu were respectively elected as Class Representative and Deputy Class Representative...
