3rd Pov:

Izuku arrived in class the next day and saw the two boys that ranked at the top with him yesterday were the only ones in the classroom so far... Izuku decided to introduce himself to them and get to know them better since they seemed the most disciplined in the class. As such, Izuku walked up and introduced himself. "Hello, you two. My name is Midoriya, Izuku. Nice to meet you guys!" Izuku said as he introduced himself. They looked at him and introduced themselves. 

The first boy to introduce himself was named Salazar, Kenneth. He had blueish hair and red eyes. He was just a few centimeters taller than Izuku at 169 cm while Izuku was 165 cm. "Hello, I'm Salazar but I don't care if people call me by my first name Kenneth." He stated and he also explained his quirk to Izuku which was blade master. He could create red blades of different lengths out of his arm and it consumed his body fat. As such, he always needed to keep some fat on his body. The longer the blade is the weaker the durability would be so he stuck to shorter blades most of the time and did close combat.

The next person introduces themselves. The second boy was named Lloyd, Hadaai. "Yo! I'm Lloyd, Hadaai. I don't care what people call me either but most don't call me my first name due to the weird name. Most just call me Lloyd even if they are really close." Lloyd stated with a smirk on his face. Izuku felt like Lloyd was going to be the crazy type of person. Lloyd then explained his quirk and how he can use it in combat. Izuku found his feeling of manipulation quite amazing. "It could be used for more than just combat. Rescues as well if it can be done. You could apply positive emotions to your teammates to help them get up and going if they were discouraged or being beaten. You could install calmness and safety into civilians that are scared or little kids to ensure you can get them out of the combat area easier." Izuku said as he muttered about many things.

Then Izuku heard some whispers from other people. Their other classmates had walked into the classroom without Izuku realizing it and they were talking about how he could use his quirk on them to hinder them in class. Izuku could tell Lloyd was sensitive about that and bet that he got picked on for that aspect of possibility. Izuku refused to keep his mouth shut. "How about you all shut up? You're whispering bullshit about him possibly using his quirk on you when he hasn't done shit. You are pathetic if this is how you think hero-in-trainings should act." Izuku stated. Salazar just agreed with Izuku and called them out on their words. Lloyd looked happy at them standing up for him. Then they heard a cough from the door. They saw Aizawa sensei. He did not look, please.

"To let you all know.. I did hear all of that. To those that were talking shit. This is your one and only warning. Discriminate against someone for their quirk and I will kick you out of my class. Do you understand?" Aizawa asked. They nodded their heads and he told Izuku to sit down so the class could start. Izuku sat down next to the two boys and started to listen to the class. The class for the most part was normal. Soon they made it to lunch. Izuku and the two boys all sat together. Lloyd had thanked them for standing up for him and Salazar told him it was no problem. He stated that he had gotten bullied a bit in the past because people thought he would become a villain due to his quirks nature of only really being useful for combat. "We three can be friends from now on!" Salazar said and Izuku had a tear down his face. They noticed and asked what was wrong. "It's nothing... I've just never had friends... I've always been bullied since my quirk came in late and I was assumed quirkless for most of my life," Izuku said with a few tears in his eyes. The two other boys froze. They knew what bullying was like and they knew the statistics for those that were quirkless. 'Shit! When the hell did he get his quirks!?' They thought. They had asked him and Izuku told the truth that he's only had it for under a year now. "Well, no problem then! We three are the misfits then!" Lloyd stated as both boys hugged Izuku.
