Beast In The Woods

Dinner and Chats

Izuku packed his laptop away and stretched his back. He turned to Kacchan who just finished packing his things to go home for the day. "Alright! Let's go!" Izuku led the way to the door. He opened it and a crowd stood behind it. Izuku stared at everyone. "Hello! Um, is this normal, Kacchan?" He greeted them all in a group and asked his old friend.

"They are here to scout the competition in the Sports Festival. Some might want to join the hero course if they didn't manage the first time around." He explained.

"Oh, that makes sense. Well, I'm Izuku. Nice to meet all of you!" He beamed at them all. He sniffed the air and caught a familiar blond hair. "Monoma! You passed the exam, that's great!"

"Ah, hello, Izuku. Nice to see you again. I thank you for being so understanding in the exam. It's a shame you are in Class 1A and not in mine." Monoma greeted his acquaintance.

"Hey! I was thinking if you copied my quirk and changed some things in your body. Would they stay after the time limit wore off? Because if it stayed! You could do some many things!" He got close to Monoma's bubble without any hesitation as everyone watched the odd boy.

"That does sound intriguing, like what?" Monoma was a bit of a quirk nerd and was very interested in what Izuku was talking about.

"Like -" Izuku raised his hand to show his skeletal structure covered in steel but Shinso stopped him.

"Let's not traumatize the whole first year with your..." He waved his hand at Izuku's whole body. "... abilities."

"Izuku, let's go already!" Kacchan called from down the hall.

"Coming Kacchan! See you later, Monoma! Bye, Shinso. Bye, Mina." He said his farewells.

"Later, Zuku!" Mina said in return.

"He's weird." A Grey-haired boy next to Monoma said.

"It's better to have him like this instead of how he was at the USJ." The remaining 1A class inside shivered at the memory of Izuku tearing apart the monster and taking his trophy from its prone body.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Monoma asked Shinso. He saw how Izuku treated Shinso and could figure out that they were friends.

"No, no. You have to wait for the surprise like the rest of the class did." Shinso said.

"He was terrifying," Mina said. "But he's great the rest of the time!"

"Someone's biased," Jirou smirked at the redding of Mina's ears.

Izuku got off the train with Kacchan and followed him down the street. Izuku looked around with very faint memories as he walked. He stopped at a park and could remember he and Kacchan played at it when they were young. The blond noticed he has stopped and waited for him in silence. He shook himself out of his thoughts and caught up with the blond.

Kacchan walked up to the door of a modest home and Izuku remembered it faintly, he followed. "We're here!" Kacchan called inside.

Mitsuki ran around the corner and pushed Kacchan out of the way to hug Izuku behind him. "Oi!" "Izuku! I'm so glad you are okay!" She almost had a heart attack when UA called to tell them about the USJ.

Masaru patted his disgruntled son's shoulder. "How was school?"

"Back to normal, Sports Festival is still on." He said to his father.

Mitsuki pulled Izuku to the couches and sat him down. "Come on, tell me how have you been?" Izuku gently lowered himself to the couch. It creaked only slightly. "You've gotten heavy, haven't you?" She laughed. Masaru joined them and Kacchan dropped his bag next to the couch and sat on the recliner.
