Transferred and Transformed

Introductions, kids!

The first person to speak up was a boy with dark hair and glasses, his voice strong and authoritative. 'He seems to be the one in charge but not necessarily a teacher so a class rep maybe?' Lena questioned as she looked him over from head to toe.

     "Hi, my name is Tenya Iida! I am the class representative, it's nice to meet you! We're from class 1-A of the Hero Course," he said as he motioned to the rest of the room. His actions were almost robotic in nature as he knife handed as he spoke, it was actually pretty funny to the four as they stifled their giggles.

     "Hey, I'm Eijirou Kirishima and you must be the transfer students from America, right?" a guy with red hair and sharp teeth asked, he looked friendly despite the deadly mouth. 

Lena nodded, her shyness slowly drifting as she replied, "Yes, we're the transfer students. This school is so big, at least three times the size of our one back in the states. It's nice to meet you two!" 

     "Hello, I'm Izuku Midoriya! It's nice to meet you!" A green haired guy chirped up, his voice soft and calming to Denali's ears. She took in his appearance, a green hoodie and black joggers that fit him nicely and his eyes were a brilliant green. Next to him was a girl who looked to be around her age, she had brown hair in a similar style to her own with pretty brown eyes.

     "Howdy, I'm Denki Kaminari, nice to make ya'll's acquaintance!" said the blondie next to Kirishima. He had what appeared to be a black lightning bolt in his hair and it caught Lena's attention. 'That was kind of cool,'  she thought as she took in his full appearance, a white t-shirt and khaki shorts.

The rest of the room continued with their introductions and before long the four had sort of figured out who they would mesh the best with. Denali took an immediate liking to the pink haired girl, Mina Ashido and the brown haired girl Ochako Uraraka. Midoriya was growing on her as she stole glances over at him, taking more and more of his appearance in each time.

Lena had made her way to Kirishima, Kaminari, and a guy with strange looking elbows by the name of Hanta Sero and was chatting with them. Benny was standing by the door talking with a guy with six arms, Mezo Shoji and a guy with a large tail, Mashirao Ojiro. The group seemed to have blended right in perfectly before a loud bang startled the room. Looking to the door, Benny was on the floor groaning while an ash-blonde guy stood at the door with a glare on his face.

     "Why the hell are you standing right in front of the door, you idiot?!" the blonde kid yelled, his voice deep and booming. Benny glared back up at him as he slowly stood up, dusting himself off.

     "Who the hell barges into a room at full freaking speed, my guy?! I'd say you're the idiot here!" Benny shouted, his hands balled in fists as he stepped toward the blonde. Lena moved in between them and held up her hands as she looked between the two.

     "Hey, hey there's no need to fight you two! We just got here, let's make a good impression please!" Lena scolded, her ears perked up and her fangs elongated in warning. She glared between the two, daring either one to make a move.

     "Sorry, Lena. That shit hurt though!" Benny argued and the blonde rolled his eyes, his glare hardened as he stared down at the wolf girl.

     "Who the hell are you to tell me what to do, ya damn extra!" the blonde grunted, his palms creating what seemed to be tiny sparks and flames. 'So his quirk is explosions?' Lena pondered as she glanced down at his hands, her tail puffing out in annoyance. She looked up at his face and narrowed her eyes, turning fully towards him.

     "Look here buddy, one, you both are at fault. Two, that is not how you talk to people you just met, let alone new classmates. Three, my name is Lena Ortega, not 'Extra', though you're about to see what extra is if you keep pushing it!" Lena fired off, her fangs bared as she stepped closer to him with every word. Her wolf instincts kicked in and she wanted nothing more than to put this kid in his place but first impressions were everything to her and so she stepped down. Turning to Benny, she raised an eyebrow and nodded to the blonde, indicating he needed to apologize for being rude as well.

     "I know you were the one hurt, but you should've taken the high road. Don't reduce yourself to his level, Benny. Though he's arrogant and rude, he does have a point, standing in front of the common room doors isn't the safest of places." Denali chimed in as she checked him over for any bruises. Ric shook his head and walked over from his spot next to a kid who also had dual colored hair and a guy with the head of a crow. He picked up Benny's phone from the floor and handed it to him, before standing next to Denali.

     "I'm sorry this is how you all met but this is Katsuki Bakugou, his temper can be a little over the top sometimes. Bakugou, these are the new transfer students from America. They'll be here for the next few years so please let's all try to get along, shall we?" Iida spoke up, nudging his glasses into place with a strict scowl adorning his features. Lena nodded, retracting her fangs and looking back at Bakugou, her hand held out to shake.

     "My name is Lena, it's nice to meet you, Bakugou." she put on a tight lipped smile but it didn't reach her eyes. He was going to learn sooner or later that not everyone will take his bullying, especially this fiery latina. He looked at it and slowly shook it before stomping off towards the other end of the room, shoving past Midoriya. Lena sighed before making her way back over to her new friends, sitting down next to Kirishima and continuing what she had been saying before. 

They all calmed down and continued their conversations until it was time for dinner and Iida rounded everyone together for the meal. The four kind of stood there unsure of what to do next, though they had been excited to go to Japan, their knowledge of the majority of Japanese customs wasn't top tier. They did know that their classmates went by their last names and not their first and when apologizing, it was best to bow. You're supposed to bow when meeting but they had forgotten that bit when they first introduced themselves.

 Kirishima, noticing the group's uncomfortable stance chuckled before walking up to them and offering them the seats next to him and Kaminari. They did at least know how to use chopsticks, at least they thought they did as each of them aside from Ric continued to fumble with the things. Ric was an expert with the chop sticks and was happily chowing down while Lena held them correctly but couldn't seem to keep the food on them and the noodles always fell before reaching her lips. 

Denali glared down at the demon sticks and hissed every time she dropped them into her soup, quickly giving up and huffing, her tail puffed out with agitation. Benny had finally gotten it down and was only dropping noodles every other time but he was happy with at least being able to hold the things correctly. 

     "Whoever looked at two sticks and decided 'Hmmm I should try to eat with those', I just wanna bloody talk to em'! That's it! I just wanna have a nice chat, because bloody hell!" Denali growled out, her cheeks red with annoyance. Lena laughed out loud and nearly spilled her soup as she looked over at her feline pal.

     "Denali, you look like one of those halloween cat figurines you see in the windows! You're all spiky, calm down woman they're just chop sticks," she laughed, trying to catch her breath as she pictured the spiky black cat in her mind. Ric joined in as he began to picture it too and before they knew it the whole table erupted into laughter as Benny pulled out his phone, displaying a picture of the famous halloween scaredy cat symbol. Denali huffed but couldn't help but to crack a smile as well and giggled as her ears perked up, dinner continuing on with a hitch.
