Frozen Heart

Frozen Insides

Chapter 3

Dull grey clouds rolls over the once clear skies of Musutafu. The sounds of hundreds of pedestrians walking toward their destinations across the busy city.
Cars honking in impatience and frustration.
But for Izuku, the sounds of the outside world is blocked out by a tinted window of a private limousine.

He would have preferred to walk or at least dignify himself with public transportation, but that man decided that even if he's a failure he won't 'tolerate his family name being associated with anything less than grand'.

It's been 10 years since the last time he interacted with anyone in his family other than Fuyumi.
Natsuo finally got what he wanted, after getting into his university and applying for a dormitory, he was able to disappear into the sunset and left that prison behind.

Shouto devoted all his time to training, either his desire to or not he still does so.
Izuku tried to do the same, in a sense.
Every day he's gotten better at controlling the output of his ice and the speed of his quirk.

He's hit only one growth spurt in his entire 15 years of life, his short but lanky stature helps his quirk he supposed. Making it easy to be agile than a tank like that man is.
Seems he got more of his mothers genes he comprehends, unlike his twin that somehow grew an entire head taller than he was.
"Lucky bastard"

The sound of the car stopping pulls him out of his musings.
The driver doesn't say anything, just peers back at him through the rear view mirror, he supposes that's his sign to get out.

His dull eyes roam over the entrance to the proclaimed Number One high school of Heroics. Without hesitation the limousine drives off, leaving Izuku at the curb of a sidewalk near the entrance to the school.

His entire life he's been either homeschooled or done online schooling, never had he interacted with anyone outside of his dysfunctional family, nor been to public or even private institutions.

So even if he has an indifferent facade, his social anxiety from being a recluse is finally catching up to him. And it's not a fun experience seeing all these teenagers waking in groups or pairs towards U.A.

With a flex of his palm he stalks forward to the school.
But before he even gets a few steps in, he immediately gets shoulder checked by a spikey haired blond. "GET OUT OF THE WAY EXTRA!"

He stares at the back of the tall blond in disbelief, is he going to have to deal with people like that? Is everyone here that arrogant?..

\^~^/

The bus drive towards site B was.. interesting, everyone was so loud.. and it was grating on Izuku's nerves. They were already shot from actually having to be near multiple people he didn't know, and now they're turned into dust, by being crammed into a small space with energetic or anxious hormonal teenagers.

As he stretched near the intimidating metal gate of the fake city of site B, he unfortunately noticed he was in the same exam site as the uptight blue haired boy.
The teen decided that he should interrupt the hero who was explaining the practical exam about something on the lines of 'there was 4 robots yadayada.. U.A. Should be better at its exams' or whatever he wasn't paying much attention, main take away he started berating the blond about him having him loudly creaking his chair back and fourth.

The blond basically made a death threat in response.

Back to the task at hand, he looks towards the gate with determination. "This is it, I'll show I'm not some Failure"
