The day progressed on, with academic courses feeling like a breeze after the craziness during homeroom. After meeting a few more teachers and some basic assignments, lunch time finally came around.
The cafeteria was swarmed with students from different classes. The food was pretty cheap, but there was an assortment of gourmet options for everyone to pick from.
Shoto Todoroki was sitting alone with a plate of fresh cold soba. Though he would never be a fan a noisy school cafeteria, he tried to enjoy the unbothered tranquility of his own space.
His peace was short-lived.
"Excuse me, can I sit here?"
Annoyed, Todoroki spared a glance to the person that spoke.
"Sorry," she said, "but everywhere else is full."
He tilted his head to the side pensively.
"I guess..."
The girl nodded and took the seat across from him.
"Thanks."
"Yeah, sure."
Todoroki watched as she settled herself in. He took note of her wavy brown hair with golden streaks. Her golden eyes were fixed on her lunch, though he noticed her left seemed rather dull in color.
It's that girl again...
She paid no mind to her classmate as she took a bite of her pork cutlet. His thoughts began to wander as he remembered their homeroom class.
During the Quirk assessment tests, she controlled the air and ground. Multiple elements...
He tensed at the memory of it.
How annoying.
Her performance showed that she was not only powerful, but also incredibly versatile. Todoroki knew that if he wanted to keep his place at the top, he had to find out more about his opponent, and eventually expose her weakness.
"What's your name?"
The girl was mid-bite when he addressed her.
"Hm?"
"Your name," he repeated. "I don't remember hearing it in class."
The girl hesitated. That was so random...and kinda rude.
She had felt his eyes on her since she sat down. At first, she thought he was just curious; maybe he remembered she had given him that earbud. But now, she felt as if he were staring at her with disgust.
Not only did he interrupt her meal, but he basically said that she wasn't worth his attention. Not that it mattered to her, but he made it sound like she was beneath him. As if being acknowledged by him was of the utmost honor and importance.
Ugh.
She didn't like it.
"If your nosy ass must know, it's Aoi. Aina Aoi."
The boy was taken aback to say the least; he never had anyone insult him like that before, let alone swear at him.
So rude...
"Who on earth are you?" There was a challenging edge to her voice.
He debated even responding at first. But he'd be a hypocrite if he didn't.
"...My name is Shoto Todoroki."
Aina stared blankly at the boy across from her.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" he asked.
