As Aiko was walking toward the school, she noticed a large crowd surrounding the front gate. Once she got closer, one of the reporters noticed her and rushed up. "How is All Might as a teacher?"

Another rushed up, "What is it like being under the advice of the Symbol of Peace?"

More rushed toward her, asking questions of the same caliber, until Aiko was completely overwhelmed. "Holy shit these people need to calm down!" Haru exclaimed, unsure of how to help.

"U-uh... I have to get to class..." Aiko stated, trying to push through the crowd of reporters.

One with a brown ponytail grabbed Aiko's arm and said, "Come on, just one little statement? You kids need to learn how to respect the press if you want to become heroes."

Aiko gulped and stuttered, trying to give the woman what she wanted, "U-um... A-All Might..."

Aiko was so caught off guard and nervous that no words came to mind. However, a moment or so later, a hand reached through the crowd and grabbed the collar of Aiko's jacket, pulling her away from the crowd and toward the school. Once safely on the inside of the UA barrier, the hand let go of Aiko's uniform. Aiko turned and said, "Thanks for the-" she noticed that a lone figure was walking away from her. 

The only thing that she was able to tell about him was that he had wild violet hair.

When Aiko walked into the classroom, she was surprised when Ashido approached her and said, "Morning!"

"M-morning," Aiko replied shyly as she walked to her seat.

"Hey Gessei!" Kirishima said happily.

"H-hey," Aiko said.

"What do you think we're doing today?" he asked.

Aiko just shrugged, unsure. Moments later, Aizawa walked into the classroom and said, "Alright, I viewed the footage from yesterday's training. Bakugo, you're talented, so don't sulk about your loss. And Midoriya, I see that in order to win, you broke your bones again. If you want to be a hero, you need to find a solution. I won't take the excuse that you can't control your quirk, got it?"

Midoriya nodded, "Good. Now, everyone else did well, so onto today's business."

Everyone tensed up, expecting something like from the first day. "You need to choose a class representative."

Everyone sighed in relief, 'A normal school thing!' they all thought. Almost instantly, the class went up in a roar of people arguing about who wanted to be representative, and nearly everyone wanted to. Aiko was one of the few who did not want the role. She lowered her head, overwhelmed by all the noise, and hid her face in her arms. Then, from beside her, she heard Iida stand up and propose that everybody vote. Haru then walked over and said, "Not to freak you out, but someone is staring at you."

Aiko lifted her head and looked around to see that someone was, in fact, staring at her. It was a boy with red and white hair. She hadn't learned his name yet, but his appearance was intriguing to say the least. His hair was perfectly split down the middle, his eyes were different colors, one being a bright blue while the other was a dark gray, and he had a large mark around his left eye. He was staring at her with an intense yet blank expression devoid of any emotion, which made Aiko feel very uncomfortable. She quickly averted her gaze and looked back down at her desk.

Todoroki shrugged to himself and thought, 'Interesting quirk. She may be an obstacle...'

Once everyone passed around a piece of paper, Aiko stared at hers and thought about who to vote for. 'Hm... what about Iida? He seems to be really serious, so he'd take the job seriously. He also seems to be a natural leader. Yeah, I'll vote for him.'
