"G-greetings, I'm Izuku Midoriya." The boy announced in a slightly nervous tone as he stood up from his seat. "I-I'm from Shizuoka and my quirk is telekinesis."

A moment of realization hit Tokage like a freight train once those words finally set in. In the blink of an eye, memories from that fateful afternoon almost a year ago came flooding in. It was him, it had to be. There was no doubt about it. That's why he looked so familiar.

"Wait a second…." The boy with the white headband now identified as Awase suddenly blurted out. "Green hair, telekinesis…you wouldn't happen to be related to the "Psychic Sisters" would you?" His question gaining a few curious looks.

"N-no, sorry. I g-get that a lot though." Midoriya shyly rubbed the back of his head.

"I wouldn't doubt it." Another student chuckled.

With that out of the way, the green haired boy quickly sat back down as the next student gave his introduction. However, for the remainder of their time in the classroom before heading to the school auditorium, Tokage found herself repeatedly stealing glances at him.

How could she not? She was one hundred percent certain that this Izuku Midoriya was the exact same boy that she met in that alley all those months ago. Granted, she couldn't remember his face too well. But there aren't a lot of people with green hair, green eyes, freckles and telekinetic quirks walking around. And if wasn't for his slight stutter along with the brief look they shared, she wouldn't have thought much of it.

But there was one thing that Setsuna Tokage was absolutely certain of. She definitely needed to talk to this guy.

Orientation went about as normally as one would expect for the incoming class of first years. The students of 1-B received the full U.A. welcome and were introduced to a few of their would-be teachers. Everyone had to do their best not to fanboy/fangirl too much at the thought of being taught by some pretty famous pro heroes. The only weird thing however, was that their sister hero class, 1-A, wasn't present for the ceremony. Apparently, their teacher had them doing something else that must've been more important.

Following the official welcome and their mandatory guidance counseling session from the pro hero Hound Dog, the students made their way to the cafeteria for some much needed lunch.

"Y'know, I thought our first day here was going to be more…exciting." Said Tetsutetsu as he and Tokage walked around in search of a table.

"Yeah, it's definitely not what I was expecting." The green haired girl shrugged.

The duo strolled around the packed cafeteria for about another thirty seconds before Tokage spotted a mop of green hair out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head a bit further and sure enough, sitting all by himself was the object of her curiosity for the last few hours.

"Hey, why don't we go sit with him?" She suggested while pointing over to their new classmate.

"You think he'd be cool with that? He doesn't strike me as the talkative type."

"Oh, I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem with it." She gave him a toothy smirk. Without missing a beat, Tokage and Tetsutetsu made their way over to the almost abandoned table. The girl couldn't help but feel her heartbeat elevate a bit with each passing step. She really had no clue what she was going to say to him. Or if he even wanted to talk to her at all.

He'd been pretty quiet so far throughout the day and she had a feeling that wasn't extremely social. But the logical part of her mind was being overwritten by the curious side.

"Hey, are these seats taken?" Tokage asked with a friendly grin.

Midoriya upturned his gaze and immediately felt his cheeks heat up when the two of them made eye contact. That small reaction was more than enough proof for Tokage to let her know that he recognized her. Although she wanted to just come right out and ask him about that day in the alley right then and there, she knew better. Especially with Tetsutetsu around.

"U-uhm, no. Y-you can sit here if you'd like." He said in a low tone while averting his gaze. All of a sudden, the boy grabbed his tray and began walking away. However, he barely made it two steps before Tokage called out to him.

"Did you not want to sit with us?" She asked while arching an eyebrow at him.

"Huh?" He looked back at her with a confused expression.

"I didn't mean we wanted the whole table, I thought we could all just eat together."

"Y-you want to sit...with me?" He looked to his two classmates as if he was having a hard time comprehending what she was saying.

"Yeah." Tokage grinned back.

"Oh...o-okay. Sorry." The boy quickly apologized before sitting back down at the table. If Midoriya had her curiosity before, now he had her full attention. Something about that was weird. And not in a good way. "I'd be h-happy to eat lunch with you guys."

"Sweet, thanks man!" Tetsutetsu wasted no time in taking the seat directly across from him. Completely ignoring the awkwardness of the last few seconds. "Your name's Midoriya, right?"

"Yes, and you are Tetsutetsu-san and…." He trailed off for a moment as the two green haired teens shared a quick glance. "T-Tokage-san, right?"

"We sure are!"

"So Midoriya...how've you been liking U.A. so far? Metalhead here says that there hasn't been enough excitement."

"W-Well, it's only the first day. I'm sure things will p-pick up once we get into the swing of things."

Before Tokage had a chance to respond, a familiar female voice interrupted her. "Hey, is it alright if we sit with you guys?" Everyone shifted their gaze over to see the orange haired girl, Itsuka Kendou along with the gray haired girl, Reiko Yanagi.

"Yeah sure! The more the merrier, right?" Tetsutetsu waved them on before anyone else could say otherwise.

'Damn! The more people we have here, the less I can get Midoriya to talk.' Tokage thought while keeping up her own inviting grin.

"Thanks." Kendou said with much gratitude. "Alright, let me see if I remember everyone's names. Tetsutetsu, Tokage, Yanagi and Midoriya, right?" She asked while pointing to all of them individually. Earning a set of approving nods.

"Oh man, you have a better memory than I do! I still barely know half of our class." The silver haired teen groaned.

"Well, we'll get a better chance to remember everyone's names this afternoon." Kendou shot back.

"Oh yeah, Kan-sensei did say that we were doing something after lunch didn't he? Any ideas on what it might be?" Tokage looked around the table for some possible insight.

"No clue." Kendou shrugged after taking a sip of her coffee. "Well, no point in worrying about it until then."

"True." She agreed. "So, since we have a whole hour to chill out, why don't we get to know each other a bit since we're all gonna be in the same class? Like I said earlier, I'm Setsuna Tokage. My quirk is 'lizard tail splitter' and I love dinosaurs and movies." The girl beamed.

"Well, I'm Itsuka Kendou. My quirk is 'big fist', I can enlarge my first to a pretty gigantic size. It's nothing super flashy though. I love martial arts and coffee, pretty much."

"I'm Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, I can turn my entire body into steel and I love working out!" The silver haired teen cheered while pumping his fist in the air.

The three of them looked over to the other two occupants and waited for one of them to speak up. Both Midoriya and Yanagi looked at each other for a moment before the gray haired girl decided to speak up first.

"I'm Reiko Yanagi and I call my quirk 'poltergeist'. I can lift any object that's equal or less than my own bodyweight. I also like scary movies and surfing the internet." She said in a low tone that was barely above a whisper.

While all of this was going Midoriya was mentally kicking himself for not having one of his hero notebooks on him. His classmates all had such amazing quirks and he was having a hard time containing himself. On top of that, the fact that he was actually a part of a conversation, with girls no less, was still a bit hard to process. It was only after a few seconds that he realized that everyone was now waiting on him to re-introduce himself.

"O-oh right." He lightly blushed while scratching his cheek.

'Now that I think about it, he's actually kinda cute. And he looks way better without the layer of dirt on him.' Tokage thought while watching the shy teen.

"I'm Izuku Midoriya. A-and my quirk is telekinesis." He stated rather nervously.

"Oh cool, so you two pretty much have the same quirk." Kendou was the first to point this out.

"I-I guess you could say that."

"So, which one of you do you think is stronger?" Tetsutetsu asked while taking a bite out of a piece of steak.

Tokage was quick to scold the brashness of her longtime friend with a not-so-subtle elbow to the arm. Even if she wanted to know the answer to that question herself. "Dude, c'mon! Don't be an ass."

"Sorry."

"It's f-fine, Tetsutetsu-san." Midoriya waved off.

"Well, how much weight are you able to manipulate, Midoriya-san?" A lazy blue eye looked at the boy. For a second, Midoriya was slightly unnerved by the stoic gaze the pale girl was giving him. But he was able to regain his cool in time.

"I haven't really t-tested my m-maximum in a while. B-but the last time I tried, I was able to pick up an old bus. Though, I'm not really sure how much that is." The boy awkwardly laughed.

A silence fell over the table after that. And Midoriya suddenly found himself shrinking under the gaze that his new classmates were giving him. Was he not supposed to say that? Was that not normal? Did it come off as him bragging? The last thing he wanted was for people to think of him as stuck up. Maybe he should've just fudged the truth a bit.

What he neglected to tell them was that he barely managed to get the thing a meter off the ground before suffering a pretty severe nosebleed and passing out for a few hours. Or the three days of headaches that followed.

"Midoriya-san…." Yanagi's pale stare was trained right back onto him. "That's incredible."

"Y-you think s-so?"

"Of course, very few people with telekinetic quirks have that kind of strength."

"Hey, I have a question." Tokage spoke up, hoping to get some more information on this mystery boy. "Does that mean that you can fly?"

"W-well…."

"I sorry, is it acceptable to me for sit with you?" A nervous voice in a weird accent suddenly cut him off. The group redirected their attention towards the other end of the table. And what they were met with was the horned girl from their class, Pony Tsunotori.

If Midoriya remembered correctly, she was the American exchange student in their class. Her Japanese was pretty good, but her grammar did have some room for improvement.

"Many tables here are taken and I wish to not want to sit alone." The blonde haired girl continued with a slight blush.

The students looked around at each other in confusion for a brief moment before Midoriya spoke up.

"It's no problem, Tsunotori-san. T-there's plenty of room." The boy responded in her native tongue.

This caused Tsunotori's eyes to blow open at hearing someone else speak to her in a language that she could actually understand perfectly. "You speak English?!"

"Not very well, sorry."

"Oh man, this is such a relief." The girl said before taking the open seat next to Tokage. "Thank you so much, Midoriya. I was worried I wouldn't find anywhere to sit."

"It's no problem."

"Wow Moptop, you're certainly full of surprises aren't you?" Now it was Tokage's turn to flex her foreign language skills a bit.

"You speak English too? That's awesome!" Tsunotroi practically cheered at this new development.

"Hey as cool as it that you all know another language, I'd like to know what's going on." Tetsutetsu scowled at Tokage.

"Maybe if you paid attention in class, you would know what was going on, Metalhead." The girl immediately shot back.

Tokage's statement earned a few laughs from most of everyone else at the table. After that, the conversations went on as normally as one would expect from the new classmates. Although he tried his best to be engaged in the conversation, Midoriya was still having a difficult time adjusting to actually eating lunch with other people for once.

Up until this point, no one had ever wanted to be seen talking to him let alone sitting at the same table with him. And the fact that he hadn't been to school in months didn't help either. It was certainly an interesting change of pace, but there was still a need to get used to something like this.

~P.E. Grounds After Lunch~

Following their lunch, the students of 1-B were told to get dressed in their gym uniforms, head out to the P.E. Grounds and wait for Kan to show up. Midoriya ended up being the first one done and was nervously waiting by himself.

Everything so far today had been going good. Actually, it was better than good, it was great. Today was the first time in years that he didn't have to worry about getting beat up or ridiculed for just existing. It was almost as if the boy had traveled to a completely different universe. He still couldn't shake the nerves that he was feeling ever since waking up this morning. But at the very least, he didn't have to chronically look over his shoulder every five seconds. Before his mind could descend any further, a female voice broke the broccoli headed teen's train of thought.

"Well, it looks like the two of us are the first ones done." Tokage flashed Midoriya a toothy grin as she walked up to him.

"Y-yeah." He nervously replied.

"Y'know…" The girl placed her hands on her hips and leaned in a little too close for his comfort. "If my memory is correct, you owe me a granola bar."

"Oh…so you do remember after all." His face shifted into a downcast expression.

Oh yeah, there was this entire issue that he needed to worry about. Seeing the girl when he first walked into the classroom this morning was definitely a shock for him. A part of Midoriya hoped that she didn't recognize him as easily as he recognized her. But her previous statement told him otherwise.

"Not gonna lie, it took me a minute after seeing your face. But not a lot of people are running around with freckles and green hair." She smirked once again. "I got a ton of questions, but we can save those for some time after class."

"Huh?" He tilted his head in confusion.

"Let's hang out after class sometime. Maybe we can get smoothies or something?" She asked before realizing that the boy might be tight on cash. "If you don't have enough money then-"

"Y-you w-want to hang out…with me?" His confusion grew even deeper

"Of course I do!"

"Why-"

"Man, you two sure get dressed fast!" The voice of Tetsutetsu interrupted his question. The two teens looked behind them to see the silver haired boy along with Juzo Honenuki and Yanagi making their way over to them. It was only now that Midoriya realized that the gray haired girl walked with a rather peculiar posture, not unlike that of a zombie.

"What's up? I don't think we got a chance to properly introduce ourselves. I'm Juzo Honenuki, but you guys can just call me Juzo." The lipless teen extended his hand out towards the two greenette's.

"How's it going?"

"So, what were you guys talking about?" Tetsutetsu inquired.

"Oh nothing, I was just trying to convince Moptop here to go out on a date with me." Tokage said as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

"Huh?" Midoriya's face immediately lit up like a Christmas tree and he suddenly found himself without the ability to produce actual words. Instead, the boy just gawked at her as if she had grown a second head.

"Pfft!" Tokage tried holding in her laughter. "Oh man, you're too easy!" She patted Midoriya on the shoulder while trying to hold herself up.

"You should probably get used to her saying stuff like that. She's always been like this."

"Well, you guys seem like a pretty fun batch of people." Honenuki chuckled at his classmate's antics.

Before long, the rest of the class showed up along with their teacher. No one had any idea what they were about to do. But if the fact that they were in their gym uniforms was any indication, then it was probably going to be something physical.

"Alright, listen up! This afternoon, we're going to be doing something called a quirk apprehension test." Kan announced to the group of wannabe heroes. Earning more than a few confused looks. "You all remember the fitness test that you had to do in middle school, right?"

All of the students minus Tsunotori nodded in confirmation.

"To put it simply, we're going to be doing the same thing. Except unlike your middle school days, for this test you will be able to use your quirks as you see fit." The white haired man continued.

A brief moment passed before a fit of murmurs erupted amongst the 1-B students as everyone tried to process this information. However, before anyone had a chance to get any more information, Kan spoke up once again.

"Midoriya, out of everyone in the class you got the highest score on the entrance exam if I'm not mistaken."

Nineteen pairs of eyes suddenly shifted onto the green haired boy and Midoriya wanted nothing more than to shrink and jump into a bottomless hole. He already knew that he did relatively well on the entrance exam but it wasn't like he got first place.

"Nice going, Moptop." Tokage playfully elbowed him on the arm, causing him to blush even more than what he already was.

"Here!" Kan tossed the green haired boy a white softball. "While standing inside that circle, I want you to throw that ball as far as you can with your quirk. Anything goes as long as you don't step outside of it." He said while pointing to the area.

All Midoriya did was nod and shakily walk up to the designated spot. Everyone watched as the boy tossed the ball up and down his hand a few times as he considered what he was going to do.

'Okay, this shouldn't be too hard. All I need to do is just carry the ball as far as I can. I think my limit is still somewhere around four hundred meters.' He thought before taking in a deep breath and floating the ball in his hand. The entire class stood silent as they witnessed the green haired teen simply extend his hand outward, sending the ball flying at a pretty decent speed. By the time it stopped, it was further away than what most people could see.

"Four hundred meters even." Kan announced while showing everyone the score on his phone.

"Damn, that's far as hell." Tsuburaba whispered.

"How am I supposed to compete with that?"

'That's over ten times further than my maximum range.' Yanagi thought.

"This is going to be pretty awesome!" Another student cheered.

"I want to see what you all are made of, so don't half-ass these tests. I expect each and every one of you put forth maximum effort. Don't let me find out that you're slacking, you won't like the result."

"Yes, sensei!" Most of the students cried out in response.

Following Midoriya's attempt at the ball throw, the rest of the students lined up and took their own turns. Overall the rest of the class did pretty well in this event. Kendou came in second place with a respectable three hundred and fifty-nine meter throw. Monoma, while using Kendou's quirk, came in third place with a three hundred meter toss. And Tokage got fifth after dethatching on of her arms as far as she could before throwing the ball the rest of the way.

~Long Jump~

The second event was the standing long jump. Based on what Midoriya had seen of his classmate's quirks so far, very few of them had abilities that would really give them an edge in this one. Just like before, the green haired boy was the first one called up, along with Tokage to get their attempts over with.

"So Moptop, are you gunning for first place?" Tokage smiled as the two lined up at the starting point.

"I-I'm just going to do my best." He responded.

"You two are good to go whenever you're ready!" Kan announced.

Tokage was the first to move. The green haired girl dethatched her torso from her legs and floated herself over to clear the sand pit. A few of the students watching couldn't help but feel a slight bit of vomit making its way up their throats, but it only took a second for them to let that pass.

As for Midoriya, the boy simply used his quirk to float over sand pit. Gently setting himself down right next to the girl.

"Oh, so you can fly?" Tokage questioned after watching that display.

"I w-wouldn't really call it flying. I can use my q-quirk to move myself around but it's pretty hard to do and I can do it for too long." He explained while bashfully scratching his cheek and looking away from her.

"It's still a pretty good skill to have." She shot back.

~50 Meter Dash~

Midoriya was the next student called up to do his run along with the horned girl, Pony Tsunotori. The two teenagers got in their starting positions and the young American flashed him a quick smile before crouching down to all fours. Midoriya was curious to see how the girl would navigate this obstacle, but for the moment he had to focus on himself.

"Go!" The robot shouted, signaling them to begin.

Everyone watched a cloud of dust suddenly appear as Tsunotori took off like a rocket. The horned teen moved so fast that barely anyone saw her cross the finish line. In the other lane, Midoriya simply used his telekinetic ability to fly across as fast he could. He was able to move at faster speeds with relative ease in short bursts. It was when he tried to prolong his air time that the headaches and nosebleeds started to occur.

"Lane 1: 3.89 seconds. Lane 2: 4.36 seconds." The robot announced the times for Tsunotori and Midoriya respectively.

"Not bad, Midoriya. Your power is pretty awesome." The girl said to him.

"T-t-thank you, Tsunotori-san." The boy blushed after being praised for his quirk. Something that he still wasn't used to.

The rest of the events went off without a hitch. Tokage felt pretty confident with herself and her performance, but didn't want to jinx it. Once everything was said and done, Kan gathered up all of the students to announce the final placement for the test.

"Alright, I've compiled up the scores for you all. So let's see how well everyone did." The white haired man spoke while slightly fumbling with the controller.

The 1-B students collectively held their breath as they waited to see what the verdict was. Of course, everyone had given the tests their all, but they were still curious as to how well they did or did not do.

Final Result:

1. Neito Monoma

2. Jurota Shishida

3. Itsuka Kendou

4. Izuku Midoriya

5. Setsuna Tokage

6. Ibara Shiozaki

7. Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu

8. Pony Tsunotori

9. Juzo Honenuki

10. Kojiro Bondo

11. Yui Kodai

12. Togaru Kamakiri

13. Kosei Tsuburaba

14. Yosetsu Awase

15. Reiko Yanagi

16. Sen Kaibara

17. Shihai Kuroiro

18. Nirengeki Shoda

19. Manga Fukidashi

20. Kinoko Komori

The short brunette girl let out a defeated sigh after seeing her name at the bottom on the list. Kendou did her best to console the downtrodden teen while silently cheering that she managed to get third place.

"The reason I had you do this test was because I wanted to see how creative you all are." Kan began before Shishida raised his hand.

"Sensei, can you please elaborate?" The furry teen asked.

"Of course" The man nodded. "Real life situations are never going to be cut and dry. Sometimes you'll have to use your wits to achieve victory over an opponent who has an advantage over you. The point of this test was to get you to use your quirks creatively and start thinking about the different ways to apply them. No one had a quirk perfectly suited to every situation. That's how it goes when you're out in the field."

"That makes a lot of sense." Tetsutetsu said while nodding his head.

"But one thing I want you all to take away from this little exam is not let these scores discourage you. Those at the top of the list, don't get complacent and think that you're above anyone else. Those at the bottom, use this as a learning experience to motivate you. It's only the first day, you still have a lot of room for improvement, all of you."

"Yes sir!" Half the class cheered.

"Alright, that is all we have for you guys today, you're all free to head home. Come prepared, because tomorrow we're gonna hit the ground running."

"Yes sir!" The students repeated before finally being dismissed.

After getting dressed and packing up his things, Midoriya was making his way towards the front gate when the voice of Tokage caught his attention.

"Yo, Moptop!" She called out.

The boy turned around to see the green haired teen along with Tetsutetsu and Yanagi. He was curious about why the girl called him out. But didn't really have a chance to think about it before she was literally right in front of him.

"So, are we still on for that smoothie?" She asked.

'She's so close!'

"I'm s-sorry, Tokage-san." The boy bowed along with his apology. "I have to get back home. My mom needed to me to help her around the house."

That statement was definitely enough to confuse the green haired girl. Home? So he did have somewhere to live. And his mom? So he wasn't by himself. The entire day she thought the guy was living at some shelter or something. Which you couldn't blame her considering the last time she saw him. But now she had a lot more questions she wanted to ask.

"Fine, but I still have questions."

"I-I understand." He simply said before giving one final bow and making his way home. Leaving Tokage's curiosity even higher than it was a second ago.

Katsuki Bakugou was absolutely furious. Not only did he get third place on Aizawa's bullshit quirk test, but he lost out to that black haired bimbo and the half-and-half bastard. He was hoping to come into class and show everyone who the top dog is right out the gate. But now he would have to wait for his next opportunity to assert his dominance over those damn extras.

The ashen blonde teen barely made it out the front door of the school when he spotted a patch of wild green hair in the distance before disappearing around the corner.

There was no way, his eyes were playing tricks on him. There absolutely no way in hell that quirkless loser was there. The 'explosion' quirk user shook his head for a second before continuing his journey home.

It had been months since he had seen that useless waste of space known as "Deku". He doesn't know what happened to him, and frankly he didn't care. For all he knew, that quirkless loser finally got with the program and gave up on trying to be a hero.
