After the whole fiasco with Aldera, the Midoriya Twins and Katsuki were about to start their first day at Nabu Primary School. While Nedzu would've enjoyed taking over their education, Hisashi had put his foot down on the matter and argued they needed social interactions with those their age, Aizawa backing him up. While Nabu was a bit further out of the way than they would've liked, it was the closest school with a reputation for zero tolerance.
As the three were being escorted to their class by the principal, Katsuki looked over at Izuku. The green-haired lad was crazy nervous given how much he was muttering and how big his eyes were. Looking over at Izumi, he could tell the female twin was in the same boat.
"Would you damn Dekus relax?" Katsuki gruffed.
"I-I know, Kacchan; sorry. It's just…well, this is the first day and I wanna make a good first impression but what if our new classmates are just like Aldera and they only see our Quirks and-"
"I know what you mean, Izu-Nii. I mean I know we'll always have each other's backs but I just want things to be different and-"
Katsuki felt his head spin from the combined muttering of the twins and clutched his hands over his ears, trying to drown it out before grabbing them both by their freckled cheeks and pulling.
"ENOUGH!"
"Please, Bakugou. I've heard of your...temper, but do be kind as to not shout in the halls." The principal chided.
"Sorry, Teach..." Katsuki grumbled. "But somebody had to shut these stupid nerds up."
"Sorry, Kaachan..." The twins said at the same time.
Soon, they had arrived outside their new classroom. The principal knocked on the door and at the "come in," she ushered the three inside.
"Ah, these must be the Midoriyas and their friend, Bakugou." The teacher smiled pleasantly before turning to the class. "Everyone, these are your new classmates, Katsuki Bakugou, Izuku Midoriya, and Izumi Midoriya. Please, introduce yourselves, your Quirks, and tell us a little something about yourselves."
Katsuki decided to go first since the twins were still calming themselves down.
"I'm Bakugou Katsuki. My Quirk is called[Explosion]. Basically, I sweat something like nitroglycerin and can ignite it in my palms. I'm gonna be the next #1 Pro Hero, so you all better remember this face and name, people!"
After a moment of silence, Katsuki's cocky smile turned into an annoyed scowl at the lack of reaction.
Izuku gulped before stepping forward. "I-I'm Midoriya Izuku. My Quirk is called[Quirk Crafter]and it lets me copy, duplicate, fuse, and manipulate Quirks. I like analyzing Quirks and I also want to become a Hero."
Izumi bowed gracefully. "I'm Midoriya Izumi. My Quirk is called[Elementalist]and it lets me bend the elements like Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Lightning. I like analyzing Quirks just like my brother and I enjoy ballet, tai chi, and outdoor activities that let me be one with nature. I also want to become a Hero."
"Alright, future heroes. I can't wait to see you both debut." The teacher smiled. Now, please take your seats. Izuku, you'll be behind Hitoshi Shinso, Izumi will be behind Tenshiro Nogra, and Katsuki will be behind Chi Mikoto."
Izuku sat behind a boy with perpetually tired eyes and wavey indigo hair, Izumi sat behind a scrawny, skittish-looking boy with glasses and short black hair and Katsuki sat behind a pale-skinned boy with red eyes, smooth black hair that reached his shoulders, and what looked like fangs.

Hitoshi Shinso was never much of a social person. He tried making friends once or twice, but nobody shared enough of his interests, so he just kept to himself. When his Quirk,[Brainwashing], came in, a lot of his peers made fun of the fact that it sounded perfect for a Villain to have.
That pissed Hitoshi off something fierce. He wanted nothing more than to be a Hero like Eraserhead, his idol. He did his best to ignore the jokes but they grated on his nerves from time to time.
When the Midoriya Twins and Katsuki were introduced as new students in his class, he didn't think much of them. However, he would get a surprise during Lunch when one of them, Izuku, actually came over to his table.
"Mind if I join you?"
Hitoshi just shrugged and continued to eat his rice when he noticed Izuku eating his bento and flipping through a notebook at the same time.
"…What you writing?" Hitoshi asked.
Izuku, seemingly realizing he was not alone, showed Hitoshi some of his writings and sketches of heroes, mostly analzying their Quirks…among other things.
"…Sexy?" Hitoshi teased when he found an entry on Mount Lady.
"….Her costume leaves very little to the imagination." Izuku meakly replied. "Though, she could stand on less showboating and dramatic entrances."
Scanning through the books, Hitoshi also saw analysis on Izumi and Katsuki's quirks, along with a few of their classmates.
"…You do good work." Hitoshi mused.
"…Thanks." Izuku smiled. "Most people think its kind of creepy."
"I think it proves you care and are serious about hero work. Though, sorry to say you won't get much from me." Hitoshi mused. "I'm just a villain in waiting with my (Brainwashing) Quirk."
"…W-w-why would I think that?" Izuku asked, great confusion and worry clear in his tone. "Your quirk would be perfect for hero work!"
Those words nearly knocked Hitoshi clear out of his seat. No one, aside from his parents, had ever said those words. And now a kid with an OP quirk says it with 100% honesty in his words?!
"…Wait, what?" He asked, not sure if this was real. It was, but he got no response as Izuku was already rambling
"You could get suicide contemplators to step away, end charges with an order, maybe even get confessions out of Villains….Whoever said you're a villain in waiting was probably a moron!"
And just like that? Hitoshi decided something:
'…This guy is my best friend for life. I will kill for him and anyone else he cares for if need be.'
Suffice to say, another strong friendship began that day.

Izumi had decided to have lunch on the school rooftops, finding a sense of peace and tranquility to feel the wind on her face and in her hair.
As she opened her bento and gave thanks, she suddenly noticed a flock of doves gathered around some kind of large figure. Curious, the green-haired girl scooched closer to get a closer look at what it was but it seemed she wasn't as subtle as she would have liked, as the doves flew off to reveal what the figure was.
It possessed digitigrade feet with clawed toes, long arms with clawed fingers, a whip-like dextrous tail, and a long thick neck that supported a bald humanoid head that had holes in place of human ears, a pair of slits in place of a human nose and a wide lipless mouth which resembled the mouth of a reptile.
The bizarre person's eyes opened up slowly to reveal them to be pitch black with acid-green pupils. Yawning widely, which revealed an impressive set of pointed canines and even molars, the individual rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"Did I miss Lunch?"
"Um...Hello?" Izumi squeaked as the individual rose to his full, staggering height of three meters from head to tail.
"Hello."
The individual moved with an odd mix of bipedal and quadruped movements, almost like a prowling monster. Izumi couldn't help but be reminded of one of her mom's favorite movie franchises, Alien.
"Hi there. I'm Izumi. Izumi Midoriya." The green haired girl smiled, relived when the student returned the smile.
"Takaryo Romulus." He introduced himself, shaking Izumi's hand before his stomach growled. "…Sorry."
Izumi opened her bent-o and offered some to Takaryo.
"Take your fill." She smiled.
"…Seriously?" The boy said in shock. When all Izumi did was nod, he accepted the first level of the box and devoured it, smiling as he ate.
"Mama overcooks." Izumi explained. "And while normally Nii-san and I can finish these no problem, but today…."
"First day jitters?" Takaryo guessed, getting a nod.
"YEE-HAW!"
Izumi yelped as she and Takaryo turned to see another person making his appearance. He was quite tall and well-built with near-bronze skin, black lipstick, and completely white eyes with no pupils. His school uniform was unbuttoned slightly to show off his pecs, which made Izumi blush, and his hair was curly and black.
"There you are, Takaryo!" The boy beamed. "Been looking all over…Oh my, my, my, my! Who is this bewitching cutie?"
"Isamu. Please." Takaryo begged, missing Izumi blushing.
"B-Bewitching?" She asked aloud. "M-m-me?"
"Well of course!" Isamu smiled. "So many peons focus on the ophysical, but I am proud to say that I see the very SOUL of a person!"
"No you don't." Takaryo groaned.
"Hush you, this is my dramatic introduction!" Isamu playfully kicked his friend away and gave a bow to Izumi. "Isamu Ishida, at your service. Humble wannabe icon and liberator of the truest parts of people…and best friend to that grump over there."
"…he seems fine to me." Izumi mused.
"She gave me some of her lunch." Takaryo managed as he got back up.
Isamu's eyes widened as he looked at the now empty bent-o and Izumi's half eaten.
"Well, it seemed like the right thing to do." Izumi said as if it was the most obcvious tjing to do. "I want to be a hero who helps everyone, after all….Would you like to be friends?"
"….Y-you consider me a friend?"
"…What else would I?" Izumi asked, then gasped. "Oh! Takaryo-kun! Would…"
"The moment you were nice, we already were." The alien boy said as he marched over and handed Isamu a hankee. "I think we should accept, buddy."
Stifling tears, Isamu managed a 'thank you' before joining his old and new friend for lunch.

Katsuki had sat down at a different table apart from where Izuku decided to sit and opened up his bento, which contained all of his spicy favorites.
"Phew! I can smell the spice from here!"
Katsuki chuckled as he saw he wasn't alone at the table. A few individuals were sitting there already. The first was a small boy whose appearance resembled an adorable humanoid furry creature which had a cat-like face with a rabbit-like nose, a pair of long rabbit-like ears, a dextrous otter-like tail, a pair of digitigrade legs with cat-like paws, and a pair of dextrous paws with four digits for hands.
Next was Chi Mikoto, the kid he was sitting behind in class. After that was a rather average-looking young man with short black hair that had a dyed streak of blonde in it. Talking animatedly beside him were two of the more unique boys Katsuki had seen besides the fluffy little runt; the first had shadowy black skin with no facial features aside from a pair of narrow red eyes and flowing wispy hair while his partner was an honest-to-god black skeleton with solid blue flames as 'skin' but not burning through his clothes.
"And then I asked him if the joke was 'HUMERUS'!" The skeleton said before laughing out loud as a rimshot seemed to play out of nowhere.
The shadow boy just sighed and pinched the bridge of where his nose would be with a shake of his head.
"Gani for the love of Horikoshi, can your puns get any more stiff?"
"Stiff as a CORPSE?"
"I hate you."
"Hey, you're Bakugou, right?" Chi asked, recognizing Katsuki from class. "The guy who claimed he was gonna be the next #1 Pro Hero after All-Might?"
The blonde smirked. "Hell yeah, I am!"
"That's quite a boast. Though with a crazy Quirk like yours, I think you'll be a quick-rising star." The boy with the blonde dyed streak said. "I'm Kuro. Kuro Brock."
Suddenly, black tar-like slime formed from Kuro's shoulder and stretched out, shaping the top of it into a face with sharp teeth and milky white eyes.
"And I'm Yami!"
"What the fuck?!" Katsuki nearly fell out of his seat.
"Sorry about him. He's part of my Quirk,[Symbiosis]." Kuro explained. "It's kinda like that American comic, Venom."
"Um...I'm Zeisho Nyusho." Squeaked the fluffy little boy. "I may not look like it, but I'm the same age as everyone else!"
"His Quirk,[Fluffy Beast], makes him look like that." The skeleton boy chuckled. "The girls at this school LOVE him. Oh, and I'm Gani, Gani Morcorba."
"I'm Renji Fangei. I'm this bonehead's best friend." The shadow-skinned boy said as he jabbed a thumb at Gani.
"I guess you already know me since you sit behind me in class but I'm Chi Mikoto." Chi introduced. "My Quirk is[Vampiric Aquisition]. It gives me vampire powers and I can even get new powers from drinking the blood of others."
"Oh, Deku would love you." Katsuki chuckled. "His Quirk lets him copy other people's powers and he can even upgrade and fuse them together!"
"Well, he sounds like the kinda guy I'd love to meet!" Gani grinned.

After school, as everyone was saying their goodbyes and splitting off into groups, Izuku, Izumi, and Katsuki bid farewell to the new friends they had made as they were picked up by their parents.
"Glad to see you kids making new friends." Hisashi smiled at the twins.
"Yeah, it was really nice." Izumi smiled before frowning. "But...the student I sit behind, Tenshiro? He seemed scared, nervous maybe."
"Well, maybe you can try talking to him tomorrow," Hisashi suggested. "He probably just needs a friend to break him out of his shell."
What nobody realized was that the boy Izumi was talking about just so happened to be walking home from school by his lonesome, a despondent look on his face. He had been watching the Midoriya Twins and Katsuki but didn't have the courage to go up and talk to them, feeling insignificant compared to them.
Tenshiro was for all intents and purposes; Quirkless. Despite lacking the toe joint, he never manifested any kind of power, which made people stay away from him. Many had given up on him, including Tenshiro himself; in this society where Quirks everything, he had no place. The only reason he kept trying was that his parents,bless them, assured him that soon enough, his path would become clear.
Suddenly feeling an instinctive desire to hide away from the rest of the world, Tenshiro discarded his school bag and then crawled into a huge pile of junk, seeking to reach its depths to "disappear". Being small for his age, Tenshiro had little trouble finding a place where he could simply lie down and rest to forget his terrible joke of a life.
As emotionally hurt and depressed as he was, Tenshiro failed to notice his body secreting a blood-red fluid that soon enveloped his entire body...
