"Stupid press, with their stupid cameras and their annoying microphones...."

Miyo shoves his way through the dense crowd of reporters, microphones and cameras being forced into his face at every step forward.

Hands grab and pull on his arms and clothes as he inches closer to the gate, then he's tugged back harshly, and multiple people scream questions into his face from all sides.

"Is it true that All Might teaches here?"
"What course are you in?"
"What's your name?"
"What year are you in?"
"Tell us! What's it like having All Might as your teacher?"
"What have you learnt from All Might?"

There are a few more questions being said, but it's almost impossible to decipher what anyone is saying, their voices overlapping each other.

He shakes in his spot at so many people forcing their way into his personal space; he attempts to escape but can't even manage to get a single step away.

In Miyo's brief panic he feels something coil around his waist before he is practically ripped out of the reporter's vicious hold.

A pair of hands land on his arms, and he looks up at their owner; it's Aizawa. Tension gradually slips out of his body.

"Thanks for saving me from the vultures, Mr Aizawa; you're a lifesaver." Miyo thanks him while keeping his eyes locked on the vast numbers of reporters crowding the front gate.

"Anytime, kid. We all hate them. Do you think any of your classmates are trapped out there too?"

"I heard Iida; I think I saw either Aoyama, Kaminari or Bakugo, but there was no explosions, so it was probably Kaminari or Aoyama. I might have seen Uraraka and Midoriya. There were a few other students from the other courses too..."

"Alright," Aizawa sighs deeply; it's one of those sighs for when you're just done with the world and its crap. "You head inside; I'll be there soon enough. I just have to try rescuing the other students. Make sure Bakugo doesn't blow up anyone or anything until I get there."

Miyo nods to him before turning and going inside the building. He arrives at the classroom about five minutes later. Not including him, under half the class is here.

There's Todoroki already sitting in his seat; Aoyama is looking into his reflection on his phone – are there sparkles floating around him? – Bakugo is brooding at his desk, and Yaoyorozu is reading a huge book – is it on quirk science!? He wonders if he could talk to her about quirks later – at her desk, Hitoshi is already napping at his desk – which is just rude; he gets to nap while knowing that he abandoned Miyo to the vultures – and then finally there's Jiro, Tokoyami, Ojiro and Shoji talking quietly at the back of the room.

Miyo dumps his bag at his desk and heads over to Todoroki. Miyo sits backwards in the seat in front of the dual-haired boy with his arms crossed over the back of it.

"How did you manage to avoid the vultures outside? They're extremely persistent with their questions..."

"I came in early enough to avoid them; they only started showing up about forty minutes ago. Did they hurt you in any way?"

Miyo shrugs his shoulders in response.

Before he can say anything else, the classroom door swings open, and in stride Iida, Uraraka and a washed-out-looking Midoriya.

Shortly after them, a dazed Kaminari stumbles into the room and collapses onto his chair; a grumpy-looking Sero tumbles in right behind the electric blonde. Miyo decides to head back to his desk.

Another minute passes, and in waltz Kirishima and Ashido; a worn-out Sato drags himself to his desk soon after them.

Lastly, Hagakure and Asui calmly enter the room and head straight to their desks. Aizawa comes in last, shutting the door behind himself, and he then stands at the front of the room.
