Tsukauchi: This... was no accident.

The staff room of U.A let out no sounds but the eerie discussion between the police detective, and the weakened number one hero. Sitting on the coffee table were files and photos of a now deceased villain: Kesseki Shokubai. Also known as 'Rock Star'.

Tsukauchi: Approximately 48 hours ago, Shokubai was found in a... mutilated state. Tumours, punctured organs, even his own Quirk turning against him. And although the cameras were 'conveniently' out: Vitality monitors showed that what I just described is only the surface of what his last moments were like.

Toshinori: ...Everything in his body turned against him. This is definitely an outside sourced Quirk at hand.

Tsukauchi: *nods* The guard standing by during that moment has been taken into questioning, but I doubt a Quirk that removes the need to sleep on the user wouldn't do anything like this.

The detective then slides a photograph across the table.

Tsukauchi: This on the other hand...

Toshinori takes up the photo, seeing a close up on the Villains dead body. But he noticed something sticking out of his neck.

Toshinori: It looks like... a thorn?

Tsukauchi: It's the closest thing we had to link a Quirk to. Unfortunately upon removal, it turned to dust in an instant.

Setting the photo back down, the Hero let out a concerned sigh.

Tsukauchi: Given how far our suspect had to go to infiltrate Tartarus to kill some lackey goes to show that the hostage situation a few weeks back goes a lot deeper than we thought. The fact that someone had to tie loose ends means that the League of Villains might not be our only problem.

Toshinori: You suspect this is outside the leagues doing?

Tsukauchi: So soon after the USJ attack? I doubt it. Someone took the opportunity to link Rock Star to the league due to them being Japans biggest talk recently. But we're smarter than that. Whoever this is has another thing coming.

The detective begins packing his things.

Tsukauchi: I'll have myself and some other officers identify and question those with thorn related Quirks. Meanwhile, I heard you've got a busy day today?

Toshinori: Yeah. Four new students are arriving here at U.A. I think you should know one of them.

Tsukauchi: ...That (L/N) kid? He's really gone beyond recently, huh? But you think he can keep up with the others?

Toshinori: I don't just think so... I know he will.

———————————————-

The wardrobe door swung open, revealing a mirror on the doors inside. Within the mirror showed you in your new U.A uniform, with your grey blazer and red tie, you shot your self finger guns before slamming the wardrobe shut and snatching your school bag off the bed.

Running through the old Hero agency halls, you leap down the set of stairs into the lobby. After absorbing the impact of falling, you run straight for the door... until you got grabbed by the collar from behind.

(Y/N): *sigh* Mom... it's kinda a big day. You don't think I can hurry to school for once?

Mom: Oh please, we all know you can spare a minute to say goodbye.

You then turn to face her.

(Y/N): I'm only gone for like, a few hours. Y'know, like always?

Mom: I know... but... I think I still need to take in how far you've come recently. And you need to know how proud I am of you. In all honesty, I would've given up when I saw I failed the exam... but you never gave up on your dream. And I can never describe how happy that makes me. You'll do great things at U.A. And even greater things as a Hero.

(Y/N): T-Thank you Mo-

Mom: Oh, and also keep an eye out for any girls you might like! The girl of your dreams might be right around the corner!

(Y/N): Aaand I'm going.

You then start leaving, whole your Mom keeps going on about you finding a loved one.

Mom: Now I'm not saying you NEED to find someone, but these are probably the best times to find the perfect girl. Or boy, I don't judg-

(Y/N): GOING!!! BYE!!!

Slamming the door on your way out, you made your way down the street towards Redgrave station. On your way however, you take out your phone to check the time... and seeing the MANY unread messages from your friend Sero. All of which asking if you got into U.A. Of course, the best way to tell him is with a grand entrance, so you withheld your answer.

Now on a train to U.A's nearest station, thoughts began drifting to who you'll meet. If you get lucky, you'll be put into 1A, where you have the most familiarity with others like Kirishima and Kaminari. Buuut new faces wouldn't hurt. But as you thought of who you'll meet, your moms words began echoing in your head.

Mom: The girl of your dreams might be right around the corner!

(Y/N): *quietly scoffs* Like that's ever gonna happen.

Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Kaminari trying to convince Chibi (Y/N) to eat cold pizzas with him.

Standing outside the gates of the Hero School, you looked up at the letter shaped building out of nervousness.

(Y/N): I'm finally here. *scoffs* I'm never going to get used to this.

???: Oi! Self monologue!

You then felt an arm rest around your neck. You turn to the side to see the friend you made in the re-entrance exam.

Nokogiri: Ya gonna keep gawkin? Or are we gonna kick ass in there?

(Y/N): *smirks* Let's do it.

You then both make your way through the courtyard of U.A. During the process of transferring schools over the weekend, you were told by the school to meet up with Principal Nezu on the first day... whoever that is. On your way of finding him though, you ran into the other duo who passed the re-entrance exam, standing right outside the building.

Chikara: Great, the gang's all here. Now we can suffer together.

Sakamoto then punches the black haired boys arm.

Sakamoto: Oh lighten up! We can all tell you're just as excited as the rest of us.

(Y/N): So, we all know where to go?

Sakamoto: Looking for this 'Nezu' guy to guide us or something. Who is-

???: Right behind you!

Everyone then spins around in shock, before instinctively looking up.

???: Um. Not that tall.

You then all look down, seeing... a white mouse like creature in a suit with a scar over their eye.

???: Hello! I'm Principal Nezu. And I'm sure you're all the students who passed our re-entrance exam?

(Y/N): Y-Yeah. That's us. *in head* When I thought of 'the head of U.A'... this was not what I had in mind.

Nezu: Great! Follow me please!

He then walks into the building as your group shrug at each other, before quickly catching up.

Nezu: It's important for you all to know why you're here. U.A is going through a time like no other. It wasn't all that long ago that Villains broke through our borders, and harmed both students and staff. The public knows this, and is concerned for the safety of the students.

Nokogiri: Well if that's the case, then why'd you think it was a good idea to bring more students? Not that I'm complaining, but...

Nezu: That is a valid reason. I'll be the first to say. But I, and the other staff here would argue that as Heroes in training, everyone here knows the risk of this course. We stand to fight against those who disrupt peace. And what better way to prove that drive and knowledge exists, then to challenge potential Heroes in a more difficult entrance exam!

Chikara: So that's why the passing grade was narrowed? To accept better, more capable Heroes?

Nezu: That is correct. And while I won't name anyone specifically, a few students in our Hero course wouldn't hold a candle to what you four accomplished.

Making your way up a set of stairs, you all look down a hall to see many doors with signs above them. 1A, 1B, etc.

Nezu: And speaking of the Hero course: that brings us to your classes! Until now, each classroom held a total of twenty students. But now, both class 1A, and 1B, will be increasing their count by two! But before I reveal who's in what class, please note that this separation is not division. You are not enemies.

Sakamoto: The fact that you had to warn us about that isn't a great sign on who we'll meet.

Nezu: ...Again, not naming anyone specifically. Now back to your roster! (Y/N) (L/N) and Blaire Nokogiri, you both will be joining 1A! While Niko Sakamoto and Asahi Chikara will be joining 1B!

(Y/N): 1A, Huh?

Nokogiri: Is that... good?

(Y/N): Should be. I already know three guys in that class, and they're pretty cool.

You then turn towards the new 1B students.

(Y/N): You guys gonna be fine?

Sakamoto: *thumbs up* Hundred percent!

Chikara: Only forty for me.

Nezu: Your respective classes should both be down this hall. Any further information you need should be held by your home room teachers. Now you shouldn't keep you classes waiting, as they've already started!

Your entire group let out a collectively loud 'Huh!?' at that moment.

Nokogiri: Why the hell did you think it was good idea to waste our time when class already began you rodent lookin fu-

You then cover her mouth as your group began dragging her down the hall.

(Y/N): -Fun loving principal! We'll get right to class! Have a good day, sir!

After a concerning glare from the small principal, he nodded as he walked off elsewhere.

Sakamoto: Good grief, you're gonna get us all expelled before we even start!

(Y/N): Is it too late to change classes?

The orange haired girl then grabs your wrist and twists it, forcing you to retract your hand.

Nokogiri: Why the fuck are you booing me? I'm in the right here.

Suddenly, you all stop in front of a MASSIVE door, bearing the lettering '1A'.

Chikara: Are all classrooms like this?

(Y/N): Looks like it. Seeing this is our stop, I guess we'll meet at break, whenever that is?

Sakamoto: *thumbs up* Of course.

Chikara: Sure. Not like we know anyone else.

Seeing the duo continue down the hall, you turn back to the door in front of you. You heard faint voices inside, presumably the class and teacher. You take a deep breath, before smirking and raising your fist to knock.

(Y/N): Let's rock this class.

But before you could do anything, you and Nokogiri got thrown out of your own thoughts as loud yelling erupted from within the room.

1A: The sports festival!!!

(Y/N)/Nokogiri: Eh?

You silently slide the door a bit open, before you both peek inside. Bickering continues as you recognise a few voices.

Kirishima: That's a super normal school event-

Kaminari: Wait a minute!

???: Is it okay to have a spirts festival so soon after the Villains snuck inside?

???2: What if they attack us again or something?

Through the door, you then see who the students are talking to. The so called 'mummy Hero' you saw at the re-entrance exam.

???3: Apparently, they think of it as U.A showing that our crisis management system is solid as a rock by holding the event. But the continuation of the sports festival isn't the only thing to show this.

1A: *visible confusion*

???3: It's a dumb idea if you ask me, but the school thought it was a good idea to increase the Hero course capacity. I'm sure a select few of you heard of the re-entrance exam?

Sero: Yeah?

Kaminari: Wait! The guys who passed are arriving today!?

???4: Please don't include another Bakugou.

???5: Please can any of the girls have nice legs!

???3: Arriving today? *turns towards you* They're already here.

You and Nokogiri both freeze as the home room teacher looks directly at you two through the door.

???3: That's code for 'you can come in now'.

You then slide the door open entirely as the two of you step int the classroom. Excitement amongst the class spikes as you both face the room.

???3: Meet your new classmates. If you two new problem children could introduce yourselves, that would make my job a lot easier.

(Y/N): Uh, Right. Well... *points thumb at self* (Y/N) (L/N), at your service! I hope we can get along great in the near future!

Suddenly, a boy with curly green hair slams his hands on the desk in excitement.

???6: You're the one who fought against that Villain publicly a few weeks back!

Suddenly, murmurs of excitement spread around most of the classroom.

Kirishima: Yeah! You were amazing! After that, Sero kept bugging us to meet you! He said you had such a manly spirit after the years he's known you!

Sero: Not my exact words... but yeah!

As the class hype around you joining the class lingered on, Nokogiri leaned over to you.

Nokogiri: *whisper* Forgot you were a tad bit famous.

(Y/N): Yeah... so did I.

Suddenly, the teachers hair raised up in intimidation. The same thing that happened prior to the re-entrance exam, sending everyone into silence.

???3: I think you've all forgotten that there's TWO students joining you. If you really want to catch up, or meet the new 'celebrity', do it when it doesn't clash with my own time.

Strangely enough, that works in keeping everyone quiet. Must be the norm here. Yay...

???3: *turning towards Nokogiri* And you are?

Nokogiri: *scoffs* Blaire Nokogiri.

Everyone stays silent, waiting for her to go on.

Nokogiri: The hell are you all waiting for!? My address!? My credit card details!?

You then see a girl towards the back with brown hair in a bob and pink cheeks slowly raise her hand at that, before stopping herself. Suddenly, just in front of the girl, a boy with glasses and blue hair stood up from his seat with proud confidence.

???7: As class representative of 1A, I welcome you both into our great class!

???3: Easy down, Iida.

Iida: Yes sensei!

He then sits down... with confidence. But that name... it echoes in your mind.

(Y/N): *in head* Wait... Iida? As in Tensei Iida? Ingenium!? Don't tell me... that's the turbo heroes brother!

But you were snapped from your thoughts as 1A's teacher spoke out again.

???3: From this point onwards, (L/N) and Nokogiri will be a part of this class. But do not take their new arrival as ignorance and lack of skill. These two, alongside 1B's new additions, passed an exam that's considered more gruelling than the one that a majority of you completed. And where they lack in experience, they thrive in determination. Understood?

1A: Yes Sir!

???3: Good. Anyway, you both can call me Aizawa. Now if you both can head to your seats at the back, I can get back on track with a presentation you'll need to hear.

You and Nokogiri both walk past the lanes of desks in awkward silence. Until you reach Sero's desk. Although he couldn't chew you out for keeping your enrolment a secret at this time, he still couldn't contain his excitement as you both fist bump each other as you pass. Finally, you take the seat that sat behind both a girl with long black hair in a spiky ponytail, and someone who's hair looked like a candy cane, whilst having a scar that said he was banished from the Fire Nation to spend the rest of his life tracking the Avatar.

As soon as you sat down, the ponytail girl turns around in her seat to face you, offering her hand.

???8: Hello. My name's Momo Yaoyorozu. It's an honour to have you join our class.

(Y/N): *shakes her hand* (Y/N). But I guess you already know that.

She then turns back to the front as you look to your right to see Nokogiri took a seat that rested behind the girl who needed credit card information, and a massive guy with dark hair and thick lips. With both of you shrugging at each other, you look back at Aizawa.

Aizawa: As I said, the continuation of the sports festival, and the inclusion of more students is show the school's resilience. Security will also be strengthened to five times that of previous years. Above all, our sports festival is a huge chance. It's not an event to be cancelled because of a few villains.

???5: But that's a good reason, isn't it? It's just a festival of sports.

Suddenly, the plain looking kid with green curly hair, turns around towards the football sized grape.

???6: Mineta, you've never seen the U.A sports festival?

Mineta: Of course I have. That's not what I meant!

Aizawa: Our sports festival is one of Japan's biggest events. In the past, the Olympics were called a festival of sports, and the whole country was crazy about them. As you know, with reductions in scale and population, they're now a shell of there former glory. And now, for Japan, what has taken the place of those Olympics is the U.A sports festival!

Yaoyorozu: Of course, all the top heroes around the country will be watching.

(Y/N): All for one big reason.

Yaoyorozu: For scouting purposes!

Mineta: I know that.

Kaminari: After we graduate, it's typical to join a pro agency as a sidekick.

???9: A lot of people miss their chance to become independent after that and become eternal sidekicks, though. Kaminari, I feel like you'd be one of them. Since you're dumb.

You silently snicker at that. Although you only briefly got to know him, you knew the punk earlobe girl had a point.

Aizawa: Of course, joining a famous agency will get you more experience and popularity. Time is limited. If you expect to go pro, then the path to your future will open up at this event. One chance a year. A total of just three chances. No aspiring hero can afford to miss this event. If you understand that, then don't slack off in your preparations!

1A: Yes, sir!

Aizawa: Homeroom is dismissed.

As people get ready for their next class, you glance around at everyone. The fact that you got into U.A doesn't mean it's all smooth sailing from here. If you want to prove your worth, and catch up with the rest of this class...

You need to do well in this sports festival.

Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Nokogiri accidentally giving her credit card details to Chibi Uraraka.

The bell near midday can only mean one thing: Lunch.

It was only a basic math class that you just had. Nothing too different from your old school. But as soon as your class's math teacher, Ectoplasm, leaves the classroom, chatter forms once more. As people vacated their desks, you only laid back in yours.

(Y/N): *in head* I know I've earned my spot here... but I can't help but still feel like a stranger.

You then look over to the side, seeing... the grape boy leaning against Nokogiri's desk... despite being the same height, possibly lower, as the desk itself. Cha cha real smooth.

Mineta: *"seductively"* Hey baby, are you a labyrinth? Because I'll be lost in you for hours.

Nokogiri: Hey gremlin, are you a football? Because I can surely kick you across a field with ease if you KEEP UP WITH YOUR FOCKIN ATTITUDE YA LITTLE SHIT!

Her yelling gets the attention of the entire class as Mineta scurries back, terrified of such reaction.

Iida: Nokogiri! I know you're new to the class, but please refrain from threatening other students! Even if one calls it justified!

(Y/N): Justified? Why would that be justified? Unless... this isn't a frequent occurrence, is it?

Yaoyorozu: *sigh* I'm afraid it is.

Suddenly, you then felt an arm go around your neck, as you were pulled into a headlock. Knowing who it is, you let out a sigh.

Sero: Why on Earth would you not tell me you got in!?

(Y/N): I was gonna do a grand entrance! Or at least, I would've if Aizawa wasn't going to just bring me in boringly.

You both than laugh it off as Sero ruffles your hair jokingly, ruining
