“So what's the deal with him then?”

I'm midway through shovelling a spoonful of pork cutlet in my mouth. Shaking my head, I swallow my food and lean back. Mina, Jirou, Yaoyorozu and I are sat in the cafeteria. The hall is bustling with students of different ages and courses. Admittedly, foreign faces nowadays make me extremely happy - I don't know them and they don't know me. Perfect.

“Well it wasn't just nothing.” Jirou points out as she idly messes with the food on her tray. Yaoyorozu hums in agreement,

”That young man was quite impolite. But he knew you and Midoriya-san. Are you acquainted in any way?”

 I was praying they wouldn't bring that up. The shock of them being in my class is more than enough torture. I mean - I'm still in denial. 

“We went to the same middle school. The three of us.” I admit, “L-Let's just say Bakugo-kun wasn't a good person and leave it at that?”

“He still isn't a good person, evidently.” Mina huffs, “But don't let him stop you from doing well! As long as we all ignore distractions, we'll be A OK!”

I smile. Bakugo is the last thing that should be on my mind. I have much better things to think about.

Like how the Erasure Hero: Eraser Head is my HOMEROOM teacher!!

It took every ounce - every fibre of my being to stop any impromptu fangirling once Aizawa-sensei made his appearance! And what's better is that he's exactly how I've always imagined him! Sure, he's a little, uh...miserable and intimidating, but in a cool way! If only I could muster up the courage to ask him some questions about his work...

“Right.” Yaoyorozu agrees, “This year will go smoothly, I'm sure.”

“Gotta prepare myself to be an academic weapon!” I say. Mina groans,

“I'm 100% gonna be an academic victim.” 

Our table laughs at her comment and she slouches in her seat,

“Academics have never been my strong point!”

”You'll live, Mina-chan.” I pat her shoulder before standing to take away my food tray. As I approach the other end of the hall I fall into step with Midoriya.

“Hey, L/N-chan.” 

“Hi.” I say back.

“You must've been pleased to know Eraser Head will be our homeroom teacher.”

“I was over the moon!” I gush, thinking back to the moment of realisation I'd had in the classroom. Midoriya grins,

“Well, you always were a big fan.”

“Always will be.” I reply, emptying my tray, ”Oh yeah, I totally forgot to ask." I face him fully,

”Did your quirk actually manifest then?”

“H-Huh??” The question causes Midoriya to freeze. I narrow my eyes at his sudden shift in demeanour. Eyeing him carefully, I say,

“Your...quirk? I mean this in the nicest way possible but, uh...how did you even get into the hero course?”

“Right. My bad.” Midoriya clears his throat, “Yeah, it manifested during our final year at junior high. It was really sudden but UA's always been a dream of mine so...”

“So you put your all into preparing for the entrance exam.”

“Yeah. Exactly.”

“I gotta hand it to you, Midoriya-kun.” I nudge him playfully, “That's pretty amazing. In such a short period of time as well? I could never.”
