"You have your backpack?"
"Yes."
"Your pencils?"
"Yes."
"Your-"
"Mom! I've got everything I need, don't worry."
Izuku was busy at the moment. He had just finished putting on his U.A. uniform. Part of him was still in disbelief that he was wearing the uniform of the best hero school in the country. Right now his mom was fretting over his preparedness and it was starting to annoy him. Though his mood changed when he saw her sad yet hopeful expression.
"I know dear. I'm just so proud of you."
Izuku smiled and gave his mom a hug which she returned. After a moment the door bell rang, much to Izuku excitement and nervousness. He answered and smiled at the person on the other side, his girlfriend Momo.
She was wearing the U.A.'s girl uniform and had a smile on her face as well. After the couple shared a quick peck in greeting Momo's eyes narrowed in concentration. Then she let out a chuckle.
"Momo?"
It was then his girlfriend undid his messy attempt at a tie, fixing it quickly and efficiently. Izuku rubbed the back of his head in as Momo finished the job. After she was done, they locked hands and looked at Inko as she waved them off.
"Have a nice day!"
"Thanks Mom./You as well Ms. Midoriya."
The two heroes began their walk to Momo's waiting limo. Izuku held the door open as they got in and she gave the driver the go ahead. Hands still interlocked, she squeezed his in excitement and reassurance.
"Ready to become heroes?"
"Yes! Together!"
'Hulk ready too!'
Laughing at his quirk's childlike excitement, Izuku settled in his girlfriend's car as it took the young couple towards the future.
The large U.A. campus stared down at the young couple, however the two were ready for whatever the school would throw at them. With confidence they crossed the gates and began to make their way through the hollowed hall of herodom. While both were awestruck of the sheer size, though only one was truly fanboying much to the delight of his girlfriend.
Eventually they entered and began the search for their class. The schedule they had got in their uniforms said they were in Class 1-A. And were currently looking for the door. With both of them looking, and Momo having looked up a floor plan, they made it to their class well on time. They were met with quite the big door with a 1-A stylized on it.
'Big door. Probably for those with gigantification quirks.'
'Hulk not that big! Is Hulk?'
Momo grasped the door handle and turned to her other half. With a confident nod, he gave the go ahead to open the door to their future. In truth Izuku was incredibly nervous, especially if a certain someone was in his class. Hopefully he was in a different class. With that hope, his girlfriend opened the door.
"Please get your feet off the desk!"
"You lookin for a fight, Four-Eyes?"
"Fight?! Are you in the right school!?"
Izuku felt his hopes dash and the Hulk grumble as he saw the scene before him. Bakugou leaned back in a seat and was in a confrontation with the glasses boy from his exam. Making a big impression was his bully's specialty. There were others there, but they seemed to be ignoring the conflict for now.
It didn't take long for the glasses boy to straighten himself out with a sigh.
"Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot. My name is Tenya Iida, I'm from Somei-"
"Somei huh? Fancy. Think you're better than me Four Eyes?"
The now named Iida was once again taken aback, but he and the angry blond both then noticed their audience. Iida had a flash of recognition whereas Bakugou looked at the greenette hatefully. With a huff the blond stood, his red eyes meeting the boy's green.
"Deku."
"Kacchan."
The stand off lasted until Momo walked forward, a flash of realization in her eyes. She moved forward, sparing her boyfriend a glance. The movement caused both boys to look at her quizzically.
"Oh! So this is the boy you told me about."
"Who are you, Pony-"
*POW*
Time seemed to stand still as Bakugou fell to the floor after being hit by Momo's outstretched fist. The other students took notice as Momo smiled in satisfaction. Iida and Izuku meanwhile were stunned, the former in such a rough unprovoked display while the latter was more mesmerized by his girlfriend's actions. While he shared his bullies past action, which he could tell bothered his girlfriend, he never thought she would do anything so drastic.
"That was for what you put my boyfriend through."
"Momo…"
'Hulk never notice how pretty Momo is til now.'
Bakugou meanwhile was livid. Breathing heavily and wiping a bit of blood off his nose, he stood as explosions popped off his palms. The boy's mind was on two things. One was the fact that a complete stranger just sucker punched him. The second, and more important to him, was the word she used. Boyfriend.
'Someone actually fell for that monster?!'
Crimson eyes locked on her as he took a rageful deep breath. Slightly calming his rage as grey and green eyes met his. Meeting the interloping girl's eyes, he sneered.
"You're gonna pay for that Ponytail!"
Momo readied her defenses, slightly raising her arms up. However, her green haired knight came to her rescue. He stood between his bully and his partner, a righteous fury in his eyes signaled by a slight green glow.
"Not that I don't think she can take you, but you'll have to go through me first."
Bakugou only smiled and scoffed at that.
"Jokes on you Deku, I've been waiting too for years!'
The boys' steely gazes were interrupted when Iida reentered the fray, getting in between the two.
"Calm down you two. This is unbecoming of future heroes."
Momo placed a calming hand on her boyfriend's shoulder while Bakugou simply scoffed and retook his seat with his hands in his pockets. Iida smiled as he turned to the couple before bowing to Izuku much to the green haired boy's confusion.
"I owe you an apology. I misjudged you during the exam, you clearly saw the path of the hero while I was focused solely on the objective."
Iida then straightened up and offered his hand.
"I'm Tenya Iida. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
Izuku smiled and shook the boy's hand while Momo chuckled at the straight-laced student's formalness. It reminded her of herself in some ways and for good reason. Her boyfriend's expression then turned bashful.
"Thanks. Though I think you overestimate me."
Momo nudged him, loving his humbleness but subtly telling him to accept the compliment. Iida's eyes then noticed Momo and he offered a smile.
"Ah, Yaoyorozu! I thought you would get in."
"And I you Iida. Glad to see you here."
Izuku looked back and forth curiously before Momo explained.
"Iida and I attended Somei Academy together."
Izuku nodded in confirmation before Momo whispered in his ear.
"Trust me when he says someone is hero material he means it."
Izuku smiled once more through a blush as his girlfriend smiled. She always knew how to make him like himself. Just another one of the reasons he loves her.
"So mind telling me what that was about." Iida commanded, pointing toward Bakugou who was rubbing the spot where Momo had punched him.
"It's a long story, but you should ask my boyfriend. It's more of his place to say than mine."
"So this is the boy. Well from what I've seen and how she's described you I'm now even more intrigued! Tell me your heroic secrets!
"Again I think you give me too much credit Iida."
'Heh. Glasses boy not so bad.'
'He really is. His name sounds familiar though.'
As Izuku made his new friend, another person made their presence known.
"Oh It's you!"
The trio turned to the feminine voice that introduced itself. Izuku's eyes went wide and he smiled in recognition. It was the brown haired girl with a permanent blush on her face from his exam. The same girl he saved. She ran up to him clearly excited, causing him to blush nervously.
"I knew you'd get in! The way you punched that bot was awesome!" The girl praised, mimicking the Hulk's smash technique.
"Thanks. Your quirk was cool too! I've been meaning to ask about it," Izuku responded, materializing one of his notebooks from somewhere.
"If you're only here to make friends and rough house I suggest you leave."
The teens found themselves trying to find the tired sounding voice that had interrupted them. Eventually they noticed what seemed to be a large yellow caterpillar right behind the gravity girl. Eventually it stood and what could only be described as a hobo looking man with black clothes and gray scarf unzipped his cocoon and looked at the class with tired eyes.
"I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. It took you several minutes to quiet down and even more to notice my presence. Very time wasting…"
There was some talk amongst the class at the low energy intro while the other half seemed to be embarrassed by his comment as the teacher sucked on what seemed to be a fruit jam packet. As he threw it away, he reached into his sleeping bag and pulled out the standard U.A. gym uniform.
"Put these on and meet me outside. You have ten minutes."
With his orders clear the tired man left them. The class was left slightly confused, but followed his orders anyway. As they made their way to the locker room, the small friend group talked about the previous encounter.
"I have to say his no nonsense and to the point attitude is very efficient, if a bit cold for a hero," Iida observed.
Momo took her middle school friends' words and thought about them. It was true the teachers here were all pros, but their current teacher was an enigma.
"Izuku, do you-"
"HisclothesareplainnotunlikeanyherosuitI'vesee.Maybeundergroundhero?Butwhichone?Thenumbersarekeptsecrettokeepvilliansonthiertoes…"
Momo smiled fondly at her boyfriend's mumble storm as their two companions sweat dropped. She squeezed his hand causing him to pause, before he broke out in a blush.
"Um, yeah…I wonder who he is…"
It didn't take long for them to find the changing rooms. The group broke off, ready and slightly dreading what their mystery hero of a teacher had in store.
The class met outside in one of the open training grounds, the teacher drinking a coffee while scrolling through a tablet as they walked up. Noticing them, the teacher finished his drink and let his tired eyes observe the class as it quickly settled.
"You guys got ready in a good time. Very nice. Now you are here for a quirk assessment test."
"A Quirk Assessment test?!" the class exclaimed.
"*Sigh* Yes. I need to apply a baseline to measure your potential."
The class murmured at that. The blushing-brown haired girl raised her hand with a question.
"What about orientation?"
"Heroes do not have time to waste on petty ceremonies. It's irrational. Here at U.A. us teacher get to decide how things are run in our classes."
The class murmured once more before another student, a boy with electric blond hair and a lighting black stripe raised his hand with a question himself.
"Wouldn't you already have that info? Like from our middle school?"
"Also irrational. Think about it. For physical activity test till now, were quirks ever considered?"
The class thought about it for a moment before their teacher let out another tired sigh.
"It's irrational. The government likes to think we're all the same, but that's as far from the truth as you can get. So, once again, to get a baseline we're going to do a standard quirk assessment test. Clear."
The class nodded and some even began to give challenging and fun smiles. A pink girl with horns shook in place, her excitement more than most of the class combined.
"This is gonna be so fun!"
To say the mood change was instant was an understatement as the teacher's smile made the student's go from excitement to dread.
"Fun huh? Well how about this: The student who comes in last will be deemed to have no potential and will be expelled."
A collective gasp and worry filled the class. Nervousness was at an all time high. Almost instantly some members of the class began to protest.
"But, we just got in!"
"I haven't even met all the girls yet!"
"Sir! Surely this is a joke!"
"You can't do that!"
"Yeah! It's unfair!"
That one got the teacher and he silenced the class with a glare.
"Fair huh? Tell me: Are villains fair? Natural disasters? As heroes, we deal with everything unfair. Here at U.A., if you stay, you'll learn to take on these unfair scenarios. Plus Ultra style."
Most of the class calmed down and let his words settle in their brains. As they thought, Momo tapped her boyfriend on the shoulder.
"Don't worry. I don't think he's serious."
"Maybe. But he's not wrong."
'Hulk not have to worry. Hulk strong.'
Once the class settled, Aizawa tapped once again on the tablet as he looked back to the anxious, but determined class. Eventually his eyes found the student he wanted as his black eyes met green, causing the boy to freeze up a bit. Some of his previous nervousness came forth.
"Izuku Midoriya. You got the top marks on the entrance exam."
"Yes sir!"
"You got the high score on the entrance exam," the teacher stated as he threw a ball at Izuku, which he caught. "So you'll be going first."
Motioning him forward, Izuku stood in a chalk circle as the teacher typed away on the tablet.
"Throw the ball as hard as you can with your quirk. You can use it in any way, just stay in the circle."
Izuku looked down at the ball then at the class. Most looked at him with expectations, probably because they didn't know his quirk and wanted to see what first place was about. Meanwhile his girlfriend and those who were at his test site looked at him with confidence. Momo even gave a smile of loving support. Then his gaze found his bully, Bakugou. His face was one of hatred with a hint of fear.
And it pissed Izuku off.
The class watched wide eyed and Aizawa raised an eyebrow as Izuku's breathing grew slightly heavy as his eyes turned radioactive green with power. Gripping the ball as his growl was heard around the class, his muscles shifted green and bulging out.
"RRRAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
With a mighty scream the Hulk threw the ball into the stratosphere to the amazement of most of the class. Aizawa raised an eyebrow and showed the results from his tablet to the class.
"5,191 meters!"
"Like I said, Plus Ultra style."
The teacher turned to tell the green giant to get back in line only to pause at the display before him. The Hulk was looking at his still intact gym uniform, tugging it with a puzzled expression on his angry features.
"Hulk shirt not rip."
"Your gym uniforms have been modified to better suit your individual quirks."
"Hulk like it when Hulk shirt rips."
"*Sigh* While uniforms may be replaced due to accidents or training damage, if the student damages them in any way, they or their family will have to pay for replacements."
Hulk thought for a moment before his other half interrupted him.
'We are not making mom or Momo pay for more!'
Hulk grunted before zipping out and tying the jacket around his waist. He lumbered back in line, not noticing the blushes on his girlfriends and other female's faces. Momo gave him a pat on the arm and gave him a thumbs up causing the giant to blush green and turn away slightly embarrassed.
Aizawa observed the giant and thought to himself, 'So that strength is natural. Interesting.'
Clearing his throat he faced his class.
"All right, who's next."
With confident expressions, the class readied themselves for a test that would decide their futures.
50 Meter Dash
Bakugou grumbled as he stood by the green monster, both sharing a look of hatred as they waited for Aizawa to signal a start to the test. Soon he gave it and the rivals were off. The blond bully thrust his hands behind himself, propelling himself with precise explosions. A smirk on his face as he rocketed forward.
To his and the class surprise though, it would seem the Hulk's strength wasn't just in his arms. The green giant lumbered in an awkward run behind the explosive blond narrowing the gap. The blond scoffed and amped it up. Soon both crossed the finish line, Bakugou defeating the Hulk by a hair.
Bakugou landed and flexed his palm, the smile of victory on his face. The Hulk simply grumbled before going back in line as the teacher noticed the interaction.
'Katsuki Bakugou and Izuku Midoriya. Interesting…'
With that several others went. A French boy with a belly button laser raced against a pink skinned student with horns. The blushing brown haired girl went up against a girl that looked like a frog, the former touching her own clothes before the run. The sight of these quirks was getting Izuku excited, much to the Hulk's fond annoyance.
Soon it was Momo's turn and she was against Iida of all people.
"Let the best Somei student win!" he boy offered
Momo gave a confident nod as she lined up, happy for a friendly challenge. She observed her opponent and got an idea. Soon she removed her gym shoes as the telltale glow of creation overtook them. Soon she stood ready in a small pair of rocket shoes.
With a nod of confirmation, Aizawa started the race. The middle school friends were off rockets flaring with hot blue flame. Soon the two finished, dust flying as they finished. Giving each other a friendly smile, the two returned to line as Aizawa recorded their results.
Momo smiled at her big green boyfriend who laughed at her close victory and ideas. All while Izuku gushed internally about his girlfriend's smarts and Iida's cool quirk. Soon it was time for the next test.
The Grip Strength Test
The class all had grippers that could measure their grip strength. Unlike before with turns, everyone was doing it at once. Momo decided to forgo any creations on this one, instead wanting to see what her body could do on its own. Squeezing hard, her reading came through.
'56 kg'
"Not bad. It seems you didn't neglect physical training," Iida observed, having just completed his own.
Momo nodded as the two turned to their big green companion, who had some confusion on his features as he fiddled with the gripper. She tapped his arm with her own questioning expression.
"What's the matter, Hulk?"
"Hulk hand not fit."
Momo observed the gripper. It was the biggest U.A. had and the green goliath could only fit two fingers in it. Even the current front runner, a tall boy in a mask with tentacle-like appendages, had some trouble fitting his hands in.
"Guess you'll have to make due," Momo sighed, "Don't worry. I'm sure you'll still get a good score."
Moved by his girlfriend's support, the Hulk let the anger flow and flexed his hand.
*CRACK*
To the amazement of everyone, Aizawa even raising his brow, the machine crumpled in his hands. Hulk held up the broken device and gave a half confident/ half apologetic smirk. Aizawa sighed as he tallied the results and they were on to the next test.
The Standing Long Jump
They were in pairs again. However, Hulk was up against the sparkling French boy from before. Bakugou had gone and got a respectable distance. Momo had made some springs in order to gain some extra distance further saving lipids in case of emergency. It still astounded the boy that he had a girlfriend in the rich super genius.
At Aizawa's mark, the two were off. Frenchie cleared the sand box and matched previous distances. Hulk however found himself in an odd situation.
He was in the middle of Mustafu on one of the roads, blocking traffic. Before anyone could question it, the Hulk leapt back to class. The same confidence filled him even more as their tired teacher sighed as the rest of the class was awe struck sans Bakugou who wore a hateful expression at the giant's strength.
Side to Side Steps
This one was fairly easy for the students. Hulk managed to not jump into the next town, but shook many as he jumped side to side. Momo's springs came back, just as handy as before.
Bakugou even managed to keep a consistent speed with his explosion.
Though to the surprise of many, the front runner was a little midget with purple orbs on his head. He had taken some off and placed them on the ground and bounced rapidly between them. While Izuku wanted to be thrilled about his fellow students' quirk, he didn't like the way he was looking at the girls especially Momo.
'We need to watch that one.'
"Yeah."
Sit-Ups
Another easy test for the students. Though Aizawa and some members of the class had to remind the two rivals of the explosive blond and green goliath that they should stop and proceed to the other tests. With grunts of disappointment and angry looks the two made sure to stop at the same time, fiery eyes of challenge meeting as they moved on.
Seated Toe Touch
Once again an easy test for the class. Though Hulk had some trouble, what with his bulky frame. Bakugou let out another scoff of victory as Momo gave him some comfort afterwards. The best student was the pink skin girl with fluffy hair and horns, doing not only the toe touch but other stretches as well. While second and third was a blond with twin hair buns and a drowsy looking one with purple hair respectively. Though some would miss Aizawa's nod of approval at the last two.
Endurance Run
The students readied themselves at the starting line for the endurance run, the circular track ready for the young heroes. While normally a run like this would be a walk in the park, Hulk and Momo were out for redemption here after the 50-yard dash. Hulk's angry gaze drifted to the cocky Bakugou while Momo was deep in thought. Then an idea dawned on her, catching her boyfriend's eye.
"Momo have idea?"
"Yes, with only two tests remaining, now is not the time to play it safe like before."
With that declaration, she unzipped her jacket causing an atomic green blush to take the giant's face as her stomach began to glow blue with creation. Other students, especially the grape head boy, looked over. However a growl from the giant dissuaded any peeks at his woman.
Soon she finished and Izuku internally marveled at the heiress's creation. She sat atop a small moped, colored red and gold. With confidence she revved the engine, making the Hulk match her smile. Aizawa observed the moment.
'Yaoyorozu, quick thinking with your quirk and at the right time. Good.'
Soon the students were ready and the teacher signaled for them to start. Dust flew as the students began their laps around the arena. Iida's engines roared. Bakugou's explosions popped off. Momo's moped roared with glowing blue lights and zoomed down the track. The Hulk lumbered along keeping up with the small group of leaders.
The last one in the front was the boy with a scar that Momo had met in the recommendation exam. He seemed to be forming ice on his right side and using it to slide along the path before him. His stoic expression was determined with what seemed to be a smoldering fire underneath it.
The students ran for several minutes, the aforementioned ones going the longest until Aizawa signaled them to stop. Now it was on to the final test.
Ball Throw Test
They were back to the ball test. Hulk already had a score so he was content with just watching. He didn't want to switch back until the results , which Izuku agreed with. So far the only student who beat his throw was the brown-haired girl. Her padded fingers enveloped the ball with a pink light and when she threw it she got a score of infinity much to the amazement of everyone present. It sent Izuku's quirk obsessed mind into overdrive.
Soon Momo was up and to the confusion of some she had her moped with her in the circle. Although it was a strange tactic, the green goliath had faith in her plan. Even if it was hard to understand both Izuku and Hulk knew one thing: Momo was a genius.
Clicking a button on the handle bars, the moped began to transform around her hands. Quickly it took the form of her usual gauntlets and chest piece, the glowing ARC reactor in it's center. Clenching her fist with the sound of clanking metal, Momo took hold of the ball and threw with all her might, glowing blue lights signifying her power.
"825 meters"
"Nice!"
"Good job!"
"Yeah! Way to go!"
Momo smiled as she took off the tech she made as she stood by her hulking boyfriend. He offered one more smile and thumbs up before his expression turned quietly hateful again as the next person went.
Bakugou scoffed at the beast's leering gaze as he squeezed the ball.
'I'll show you and Ponytail, Deku!'
Gripping his ball tightly, the explosive blond let out his biggest explosion to date as he rocketed the ball to the horizon.
"Go to hell!"
"Heh…"
After a moment of silence the tablet pinged with his score and his cocky face fell.
"705 Meters."
Bakugou paled at that score. All this time, energy and effort into training. All for nothing.
'What the hell?! Not even close to that damn monster?!'
Aizawa meanwhile was satisfied with the result, tapping away on his tablet. After he was done with that he turned to the stunned blonde.
"All right next up-"
"Again."
Aizawa raised his brow at the declaration.
"I need to throw again! Have to prove I'm-"
"Mr. Bakugou, that was your test. Move on."
Bakugou turned to the teacher, his red eyes livid and in disbelief. Explosions were going off in his flexing palms as he seethed with rage. However, upon noticing his teacher's no nonsense expression he scoffed and looked down. His red gaze moved towards the object of his ire.
The Hulk just had the same angry smirk on his face, clearly happy he had him beat. It pissed the young blond off. Bakugou saw red.
"Deku!"
Propelling himself towards the object of hate he readied one of the biggest explosions he could muster, hoping to blow that beast to smithereens. The Hulk noticed his speed and with an angry expression, stood in front of his partner and clenched his fist for a counter attack.
The blond was almost there and thrust his palm forward-
"Die!"
*poof*
-only for a weak puff of smoke to spurt out rather pathetically.
Bakugou only had a moment to look confused before he was ensnared in some gray bandage looking trappings. The gathered students' eyes wandered to the source of the wrappings, finding it was the scarf their tired sensei was wearing. Said sensei's eyes were glowing a bright red as his hair stood on end. Upon further inspection they could just make out a pair of yellow goggles around his neck. Izuku had a moment of realization.
'He's Eraserhead!'
"Eraserhead?"
"The underground hero?" Momo said, knowing her boyfriend's hero fanaticism.
Said underground hero pulled the angry blonde towards him, his glowing red eyes boring into the scared blondes.
"Katsuki Bakugou, your reputation was not unfounded I see."
He released the student dropping him to his knees while keeping his quirk active.
"A braggart who abuses his power when things don't go his way. While you're past teachers irrationally fed this ego, I will not tolerate it here. While under normal circumstances I would expel you right here and now, the principal says you're a special case. So consider this strike one. Now grow up and get back in line."
Shutting off his quirk, the teacher returned to his tablet as Bakugou silently got up and returned to his place in line. Hulk and Izuku were stunned, but satisfied.
'Right. U.A. really is different.'
The students were gathered in nervousness. All were anxious for the results as their teacher tallied the results. With a final tap of his tablet, the results were shown via hologram to the gathered hopefuls.
1.) Izuku Midoriya/Hulk
2.) Shoto Todoroki
3.) Momo Yaoyorozu
4.) Katsuki Bakugou
5.) Tenya Iida
6.) Fumikage Tokoyami/Dark Shadow
7.) Mezo Shoji
8.) Eijiro Kirishima
9.) Mina Ashido
10.) Ochaco Uraraka
11.) Koji Koda
12.) Tsuyu Asui
13.) Himiko Toga
14.) Yuga Aoyama
15.) Hanata Sero
16.) Denki Kaminari
17.) Kyoka Jiro
18.) Toru Hagakure
19.) Hitoshi Shinso
20.) Minoru Mineta
Hulk let out a satisfied grunt as the class searched for their own names finding relief. All except of course for the boy at the bottom. He was the grape headed midget who did well with side steps but not much else. He was currently bawling his eyes out, much to the discomfort of everyone present.
"No! I can't go yet! I haven't even met any of the girls here yet!"
Momo leaned towards Hulk at that declaration causing the giant to put an arm around her protectively. Maybe expulsion wasn't such a bad idea.
"Actually I lied. No one's being expelled."
"WHAT!?"
"That was just a logical ruse to get the best performance out of you," the tired teacher said with a trolling smile.
That got the boy and to a certain extent everyone else to calm down for now. Soon Aizawa got the class's attention again.
"You'll find a syllabus at your desk. Go home and rest because tomorrow is when the real training begins."
With that the teacher left. As he was leaving he took note of the secret audience member who had been observing the entire time.
"There's a reason you're not a stealth hero, All Might. What do you want?"
Said hero came out of his hiding place in a yellow pinstripe suit, his ever present smile even as he geared for a serious conversion.
"Aizawa you liar! We both know you've expelled entire classes!"
"Why so judgmental? Your big green protege did just fine."
"I knew he'd be fine. Especially after what you said about him during the entrance exam."
Aizawa nodded as he kept walking. While it's true he felt the big green giant was hero material, part of him worried for the boy. The destruction of the Zero Pointer was good, but he knew such strength could be dangerous if used improperly. However, after the incident before the test, Izuku showed he could control the beast, at least for now.
"He has potential. That's all I'll say."
All Might let out a small chuckle at that. His mighty gaze looked towards the locker rooms, his thoughts on the new batch of young heroes. Especially the boy he helped train.
'Young Midoriya. When did you get so cool.'
The day was over and Izuku and Momo found themselves hand in hand walking out the front gates. They chose to walk instead of taking any sort of car. It was good as a third person had joined them, Iida, who was processing the day they had.
"While I respect him as a hero and as a teacher, lying to his students is reprehensible. Even as a tactic it seems rather villainous to me."
"Well he is underground Iida," Momo said.
"Yeah. They're kinda like anti-heroes from old comics. If anything, lying can catch villains off guard."
"I see! So it's not just a villain's tactic! We have much to learn from him."
The group laughed at Iida's over analytical mind, though Momo gave Izuku a knowing look. Iida would fit in just fine with them both.
"Hey! you off to the station? Wait up!"
The group turned to the new voice, finding it was the brown hair blushing girl from before. As she caught her breath Iida's face lit up with remembrance.
"You're that infinity girl, correct?"
"Yep. My name is Ochaco Uraraka. Let's see, you guys are Iida, Momo and Deku right?"
Izuku and Momo paled at that as the Hulk growled internally.
"Um…Actually my name is Izuku Midoriya. Deku's what Kac-"
"His bully calls him."
Nodding at his girlfriend's explanation, Ochaco rubbed her head nervously.
"Oh sorry. It's just that it sounds like 'you can do it' you know'"
Izuku paused in thought as his girlfriend joined in his thoughts. Sharing a smile with both his girlfriend and hopeful new friend, Izuku beamed.
"Then you can call me Deku if you want."
'Puny Midoriya got over that quick…'
Momo smiled as the new friend joined the group and introductions were made. Momo had to laugh when Ochaco jokingly despaired at their relationship but the good mood did not spoil. Soon it was just the two of them left after Iida and Ochaco split off for home. Seeing a teasing opportunity, Momo took it.
"You have a way with ladies, Izuku. I remember when you would freeze up into a blushing mess."
"Well when you date the most beautiful girl in the world, talking to other girls is easy I suppose."
Momo blushed and pulled him closer at that, an action Izuku appreciated. Soon the lovers came to Momo's stop. Goodbye's and kisses were shared as Izuku made his way home.
Izuku made a fist and looked forward, excited for his future at his hero academia.
