" Shadows?"
" Yes, I have the ability to use them."
Today is Sunday, and tomorrow I'll have to begin my days as a student once more. But I must place the despair of school in the back of my mind as I had to focus on the children.
Cats, loads of cats made from shadows were being smothered by the children, but not all of them wanted cats. Some wanted birds, dogs and even a wolf.
But I noticed one child didn't partake like the other children.
Her name is Lily if I remembered correctly who recently just…
' Right, sensitive topic for her.' I shook my head as I got up and walked towards lily as I crouched next to her conjuring a shadow bunny in front of her.
" Ah! Kuro!?" She exclaimed looking up from the ground.
I smiled as I patted her head, " It'll be alright lily." I comforted her as she nodded her head cuddling the rabbit in her arms.
I continued to play with the children until dinner since Mother wanted me stay for before heading back home.
But before I left, mother stopped me and hugged me.
" Stay safe sweetie alright, and make sure to call." She said as she patted my head.
" I will, goodnight mother." I smiled.
" Goodnight Kuro."

" The kid has a bright future along with his personality but that hero complex of his could damage him if not checked just like in the battle exam where he burnt out at the end. But I can't deny his enthusiasm which pushed him far beyond his peers." Aizawa explained as he placed the tablet on the table.
" And that puts him as number one on the ranking list."
" Well, that settles it. Finally we finished the evaluations!" Midnight exclaimed as she stretched her upper body.
" Good job everyone! Now that you all gotten to know your new students, you may now prepare for the orientation tomorrow." The principal, Nezu dismissed the teachers as they left the room grumbling about the long meeting.

The student uniform was a little stuffy as I unbuttoned my collar and loosen my tie to breathe better as I pushed the classroom door open to see the it empty.
" looks like I'm the first one here-" I stopped myself as I stared at the man's eyes before speaking.
" Good morning." I greeted.
" Morning, take a seat. Doesn't matter which one you choose." He grumbled before turning around in his sleeping bag.
I smiled as I chose a seat next to the window and brought out my personal notes.
[ Skills created: Shadow step ]
( Description: a skill built in speed to traverse in a single direction. Idea came from 'Blink' and 'flash step'.)
( Traverse speed: 3 meters per step; limit: 4 steps. In total distance: 12 meters before legs and feet start tiring.)
' Progress is slow, but it's a start.' I thought as I reflected the failed attempts before closing the skill book and looked at door as I heard footsteps approaching.
The door slammed opened to reveal to bakugo who immediately noticed me.
" Before you start screaming, I would advise for you to find a seat." I warned as I didn't want to bakugo to disturb Aizawa.
But Bakugo didn't listen.
" Hell the hell did you get here before me!!" He shouted as he stormed his way towards me before I grabbed his wrist before he could grab my collar.
" Bakugo, sit down." I warned as i gently pushed him back.
Bakugo clicked his tongue before finding a seat and placed his feet on the desk grumbling before people began to move into the classroom.
And one of them just so happens to start an argument with Bakugo.
"DON'T PUT YOUR LEGS ON THE DESK!DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S DISRESPECTFUL TOWARDS YOUR CLASSMATES!?" He shouted angrily as Bakugo argued with him.
"NO, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DONT THINK SO. WHICH MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE YOU FROM ANYWAY, YOU TWO-BIT EXTRA?NO, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DONT THINK SO. WHICH MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE YOU FROM ANYWAY, YOU TWO-BIT EXTRA!?"
I sighed as they began to argue and the rest of the students were watching but I couldn't sit by nor ignore the noise they made as I got up from my seat.
And to make it worse Midoriya arrived which prompted Iida to apologize to him and Bakugo to start shouting again.
" Alright, that's enough. You're all being too rowdy this early." I said as I held Bakugo's collar before he rushed to Midoriya.
" Let go you damn kitty cat!!!" Bakugo shouted as I let him go.
" If you're here to socialize, then I suggest you get out. This is the hero course." The teacher spoke as he stood up while in a sleeping bag.
" It took you 8 seconds to quiet down, time is a precious resource. You lot aren't very rational are you?" He spoke as he took out a UA gym uniform.
" I'm Shota Aizawa, your homeroom teacher, please to meet you." He introduced himself.
" Quickly now, change into your gym clothes and head out to the grounds."
' A quirk test.' I thought as I watched one of them ask about the ceremony which the teacher blew off as he threw me a baseball.
" Kuro, How far could you throw in middle school?"
" 112 meters." I replied.
" Great, now try with your quirk. Just try not to leave the circle."
I nodded and walked into the circle.

As Kuro warmed up his right arm, the class began to speculate his quirk.
" what do you think his quirk is? Ribbit."
" I don't know, but he looks tuff!"
" Obviously a mutant quirk, don't you see his ears and tail?"
Midoriya smiled as he heard his classmates talk about Kuro's quirk.
" A-Actually his quirk is shadow manipulation." He revealed surprising the group.
" Shadow manipulation!?"
" Hey, he's starting!"
They turned their attention to Kuro as he fled his arm back and saw a blackish purple covering his forearm before he threw it into the air.
A shockwave blasted across the field as the ball left with a black trail.
Aizawa showed the screen on his phone.
876.5 meters
" Woah! That's so cool!"
" Awesome! We can use our quirks for reals! Man, this hero course is great!"
" Awesome you say, you're hoping to become heroes after three years. And you think it'll be all fun and games. Right, the one with lowest score across all eight events… gets expelled. "
" WHAAAAAT!!!??" The class shouted in shock.
" Your fate is in our hands. Welcome, this is the hero course of U.A." Aizawa announced.
