Fourteen

We were told the next day that the sports festival would be in three weeks, and to keep up our training so we would be ready. "Akaguro." Aizawa called me before I could leave for lunch.

"What's up Aizawa?" I smiled at him after I waved Todoroki and Bakugo to go on ahead without me.

"Today you're going to be training with the third years after lunch." He stated casually, but my eyes widened at the news.

"Huh?! Third years?! Shouldn't I start with the second years or something?!" I panicked. Aizawa chuckled and shook his head.

"No, you're going to train with the third years, end of discussion." He ended the debate, causing me to frown. "Now then, come back to the classroom before lunch ends and grab your hero costume, I'll walk you to their classroom." Aizawa told me. I slowly nodded, backing out of the room.

During lunch, I was so distracted thinking about what the training would be like I barely ate or said anything. And before I knew it, it was time to go.

I stood nervously outside the door of Class 3A, scratching the back of my hand and biting my lip. Aizawa had told the teacher that I would be joining them for training that day, and their teacher had agreed.

So there I was, nervous as hell as I imagined the worst possible scenarios. The first one was that they all resented me because I'm a first year that gets to train with the third years.

Just as I ran through several more scenarios, the door opened and the teacher waved me inside. Walking into the room, my gaze was firmly forward; I can't show any weakness. "Everyone, this is Kosoke Akaguro from class 1A, I expect you to make him feel welcome." He told them.

As I gazed at the class, I found that my scenarios were wrong as all of the students had huge smiles on their faces when they saw me. I held up a peace sign with a grin, completely relaxed. "Alright, now that that's done, get changed."

As soon as the teacher was out of the classroom, everyone rushed toward me. "Oh my god, hi its so nice to meet you!" A girl with blue hair pushed through the crowd, a tall blond guy following her. "I'm Nejire Hado!"

"Nice to meet you Hado." I beamed at her, nodding respectfully.

"Hey, I'm Mirio Togata." The blond grinned at me. "I can tell we'll be great friends."

"Thanks, I hope so." I agreed with a laugh, "Aizawa-err Eraserhead said I am gonna be coming here a lot."

"That's awesome! Oh, we should probably go get changed, yeah? Go on, Togata, you should show him the locker rooms for the third years!" Hado pushed me towards the male with a surprising amount of strength, causing me to stumble slightly.

"Sure, leave it to me," He agreed and saw her off. "Alright, shall we go? I just need to grab my costume so give me a sec."

Already having brought mine with me since Aizawa told me to take it, I waited outside the classroom for him to grab his costume. Once he did, we headed to the locker rooms to change.

"Holy shit dude, what the hell have you been up to to have a body like that?" The guys demanded once I had stripped off my shirt. I knew they weren't talking about my abs, but the scars littering my entire upper body. There were more on my lower half, which they soon saw as well.

I just laughed it off. "Oh you know, the usual~"

We finally made our way to the training arena, and I looked really impressed at everyone's costumes. They looked totally badass! "Whoa, Hado you look so cool!" I grinned at her when Togata and I walked over.

"Thanks Akaguro! Yours is pretty neat too." She returned, "Oh, hey Tamaki!" Turning to see who she was addressing, I find a cute guy decked out in some cool gear standing near Togata, looking nervous.
