After an event in her early adolescence that changed the entire trajectory of her life, and in how she viewed her quirk, Hitomi Kanetsukabe was ecstatic to find she'd been admitted to UA's hero course.
Her high school life was just beginning, and sh...
A/N: Before all the rewrites and edits this chapter was originally like, 3 separate ones? I put them all together when I started making all those changes because I wanted this fic to stick to 100 chapters. The art from 2020 still holds up pretty well though (several were just screenshot edits where I added a character in), I think there's only one that I decided to redo :)
BTW for the people who listen to the soundtracks, there's three used in this chapter! If you see this (🎵🎶) it means a different music is being used ^^

Hitomi was seated in the front row, watching as Gang Orca paced back and forth in front of the class. All Might, Present Mic, and Endeavor were all seated together in a different area of bleachers, and knowing she'd feel incredibly awkward sitting with them, she'd asked All Might to sit somewhere else. The thought of sitting right by Endeavor made her nervous as he was such an overwhelming and intimidating presence, and to her relief All Might agreed to her request without questioning why.
Hitomi sweatdropped as she listened to Gang Orca yell at the class, saying they were all "lower than fish poop."
What the heck? He's scary...
"Especially you!" he yelled at Bakugou, who Hitomi could see was forming a scowl on his face from her seat. "Do you even want to be a hero?!"
"First of all, I'm not poop-"
"Disciplinary action!"
He tossed him like a sack of flour, before turning to Todoroki.
"How can turds save the mighty humans?!"
"Indirectly, through fertilizer and-"
"Disciplinary action!"
Todoroki also got tossed, Inasa the next victim of Gang Orca's yelling.
"Can people be praised for just combat ability and mobility?!"
"Sir, yes sir-!" Inasa got interrupted as Gang Orca tossed him aside as well.
"Disciplinary action!
And you!" Gang Orca turned to Yoshiho, who glared back at him as if she was challenging him. "Is your attitude even one fit for heroes?! How can you expect to work properly with others?!"
"Not every hero is-"
"Disciplinary action!"

The four of them were all on the floor at Camie's feet as Gang Orca berated them, lecturing them on their faults that had been made apparent during the license exam and what they needed to work on.
"Will anyone take hold of the hand you put out?" Gang Orca said harshly. "No! Even if they bare their fangs at you, if there is a life there, you must save it! To save and be saved— The essence of that is an agreement and understanding between your hearts!!" he exclaimed, the doors behind him opening. "Now, conquer! Through this life-or-death battle, show that you can come to an understanding with them!"
