Rise up

~2~

Even flying at Hawks top speed while carrying me, I barely managed to make it into my class, 1-A, at the same time as the teacher. Surprisingly I just now find out that my teacher will be Pro-Hero Eraserhead, who occasionally ran into Keigo and me at Hero events.

"Do try and make it here before me from now on, Takami." The sleepless man utters out as we both head into a bustling classroom.

'Damn Birdbrain and our morning bickering already made me almost late for my first day.'

"Yes, sir." I hurriedly say and continue towards the only open seat left in the class. Thanks to being the last in today, the only available desk is in the front row at the row farthest away from the door. This position would have to be ranked top 3 in my worst places to sit in class, coming in after right in front of the teacher and dead center.

Before I slide into my new spot for the rest of the year, I can't help but notice the spikey-haired ash-blonde who occupies the seat directly behind.

'Might be somewhat more difficult to focus knowing someone so attractive sits immediately behin-'

"Tch. Would you like me to sign something for you fucking extra? I mean, you are staring at the future Number 1 Pro-Hero." The blonde's voice brings me back from my dazed and staring state.

I think for just a second before replying, "Awe! That's cute, just like you. Although I hate to be the bearer of bad news, that Number 1 spot has my name written all over it, bud."

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU CALL ME DAMNED EXTRA?? AND YOU SIT BACK AND WATCH ME BECOME NUMBER 1!!"

"I believe the word I called you was cute unless you would like me to use something else such as attractive, handsome, or hot. Also, the name is Y/N Takami. I don't want you to forget who will be snatching that Number 1 spot from ya!" I reply with a smug grin while I relish in the amusement this blonde is providing me at the moment.

"Why, you little-"

"Enough, Takami and Bakugo." Aizawa interrupts the furious blonde, who lets out a small 'tch' and turns his head away from me with the tiniest blush present on his face. As I swing around in my seat Aizawa continues, "Here are your practice uniforms. Everyone grab one and change into, then head outside to meet me on the practice field."

Arriving at the field, I noticed that I was the first one, aside from Mr. Aizawa.

"What's up, Eraserhead? Been about a year since I've seen you at a Hero event. Honestly, I didn't take you for the guy who likes teaching kids." I decide to strike up a quick conversation with the Hero before my classmates start arriving.

"All the times I bumped into you at those events, you didn't realize how much I detested them. Also, be prepared for having me as your teacher; I don't hesitate on expelling kids who are unqualified to be here." He countered, hoping to raise some anxiety in me about possibly being expelled. The tired man also noticed that I didn't have my wings on display since I arrived.

"Ah, Well, don't worry about me; you can expel whoever you'd like. I don't plan on getting too attached to any of my classmates. And we both know I'm more than qualified to be here, so you're gonna be stuck with me till I graduate." I reply with nothing but confidence as I notice most of the students approaching from the main building.

Once everyone gathered in front of Mr. Aizawa, he begins today's instruction. "Now, we are out here so you guys can perform a quirk assessment test, and I can see where you all stand in this class."

"But what about the schoolwide orientation? We can't just miss it." A brunette girl with the pinkest blush worriedly asks our instructor.

"Here at UA, we don't have set traditions required to follow. You're in MY classroom, and I will run it how I see fit. Also, the person in last place will be expelled from UA high and not be allowed back."
