Its Your Turn, Eri!

Chapter 2: The Beginning

"Eri......."

"Eri......."

"Eri!"

Eri quickly woke up to the sound of her dad calling out her name. Eri's cat, Noraneko, quickly hopped off her bed and raced out of Eri's room, clearly spooked at the events that had just occurred over the span of a few seconds.

"Eri, you better hurry up and get dressed. You're running behind this morning." Aizawa's voice wafted as he walked out the door, "Oh, and don't forget to fill up Noranekos' food bowl. We don't want a starving cat on our hands, now do we?"

"Don't worry, dad, I'll make sure to feed them before I head out," Eri replied as she got up out of her bed, quickly throwing on the uniform she had laid out on her desk the night before.

Eri looked over at her alarm clock, the time  reading 7:40. Well maybe she had been running a bit late this morning, but that will not stop her from arriving to school on time. Perfect attendance is necessary in order to become a hero!

Eri's dream job was to become a pro hero like her dad, Mirio, and Deku, and to help those in need of saving. If Eri couldn't become a hero, then she could always enroll in a different program at U.A and become a nurse. Regardless of which path she chooses to follow, Eri wants to pick a career that would allow her to be able to save people...though she could always turn to vigilantism as a side job.

Walking into the kitchen, Eri noticed that her dad had already left for work and Noraneko was about to take a bite out of her eggs! Eri quickly grabbed her plate, immediately taking a bite out of the egg with her fork, "Nope, Noraneko, you're not eating my breakfast."

Noraneko pout only lasted a couple of seconds before going back to playing with their ball of yarn, right on the kitchen table! However, that wasn't her total concern as she quickly finished up her breakfast and grabbed her Lemillion backpack, filling up Noraneko's food and water bowl before heading out the door to school.

The school year was about to come to a close, and that meant Eri has all summer to prepare for the U.A entrance exams (which then again it wasn't like she has been training with her dad, Deku, and Mirio for almost a decade). Eri was excited to go back to U.A and become a student there, though Eri wasn't for sure on what type of hero she would decide to become. She supposed that will be up for debate in the future, but for now she'll just stick to being herself.

For now, Eri just wants to live a normal life until the day she takes her entrance exam. Finally, almost a decade's worth of training will come into some use (other than rewinding some bad injuries her friends and brotherly figures sustain once in a while). Eri was excited and looking forwards to the future, beaming as she thought about the many possibilities becoming a hero could open up for her.

"Eri, you're dazing off again!" Kota said as he tapped on his childhood friend's shoulder.

Blinking, Eri turned around and looked her friend in the eyes. This was a normal occurrence for the two of them, dating back from primary school to now; Eri would be daydreaming about becoming a hero and Kota has to snap her out of it. Occasionally Eri's thoughts would be interrupted by an outside force, but most of the time it's Kota and his stern demeanor.

"Sorry, I'm just so excited that this school years finally ending!" Eri smiled as she begun to pack up her things.

"You're applying to U.A, right?" Kota asked her.

Eri nodded, "Yep! Going for the heroics course?"

Kota grinned, "You know it! Oh, and don't forget I'm coming over to your place after school to train with Mr. Aizawa."
