This time I will protect them I won't be a coward

After their quirk assessment test, they had regular classes followed by lunch break.

Denki was so exhausted and hungry after the quirk assessment test that he could feel hunger pangs in the last history period before lunch break rolled on.

At the sound of the bell signalling, lunch break he literally ran out of the class to the cafeteria.

Denki doesn't care if Iida reprimands him later for running in the hallway like that. Right now his only focus is to get something in his empty tummy.

Grabbing his ordered tray from Lunch Rush. he starts looking for an empty seat, but sadly it was too crowded today.

Among the crowd of students he spots Sero Hanta and Kirishima Erijiou pestering Bakugou Katsuki and also the Dekusquad laughing and chatting while having their lunch together.

Denki did not want to ruin the happy moment by going there.

So, he starts walking away from there before any of his classmates take notice of him.

Then, he sights an empty seat besides Shinsou Hitoshi and walks up to him.

Hitoshi was about to have his ramen, when he noticed a preppy dressed or rather a cute looking boy carrying a lunch tray walking up to his table.

The said boy smiled sweetly at him and said, "Hey!". And pointed  at the empty seat  beside him.

This surprises Shinsou due to his quirk he knew people usually tended to avoid him.

What shocked him the most was, this boy who looked like a literal doll with a perfect face, eyes full of sunshine and a smile that could topple empires, was willing to sit beside someone like him, given the account of rumours floating around in the school about his villainous quirk nature.

Hitoshi nods at Denki that he can sit beside him and goes back to slurping his ramen.

Denki sets down his lunch  tray and digs into his yummy veggie cheese sandwich. That's when his phone pings.

With curiosity Denki grabs his phone from his pant's pocket and unlocks his phone screen to check who sent him a message.

Denki's face lights up when he sees it is from Estella and clicks on the message icon to read her message.

Estella had sent him two kissy face emoji under his school uniform picture which he had sent earlier in the morning and there was also a second message that read 'I hope you make a lot of friends on your first day of high school and just be yourself!'.

Denki smiles at the message and then puts back his phone in pant's pocket and goes back to munching on his sandwich.

Shinsou looks warily at the boy sitting beside him. He notes that the boy had a sunshine type of a smile and when Denki had to bend his head down to unlock his phone screen, to Shinsou's  horror.  He noticed two or no was it three actually!?. He spotted five angry red scars peeking from Denki's turtleneck.

Hitoshi prays in his mind that they are not what he was thinking. He really hoped those were not suicide scars and decides to keep a close eye on his new cafeteria seat buddy.

Soon, the lunch break comes to an end.
Denki is happy with his stomach being full and gets up from his seat and bids goodbye to Shinsou, who too replies back goodbye and says, "See you tomorrow as well".

This shocks Denki the lone wolf Shinsou Hitoshi actually spoke to him.

With that Denki heads back to his class now. Soon his afternoon Heroic Class would begin with All Might.

Everyone was buzzing with excitement in the classroom.

All Might soon enters through the sliding door by making a comical entry.

Then with his signature smile ask them all to get ready and head to the battle ground arena and click on the remote button device in his hand and the students hero cases slides out on the hidden rack and everyone one by one slowly grabs their hero costume case with the assigned number and heads to the locker room while Denki grabs his case and heads to the joint bathroom stalls to change with no clue on how his costume is designed as he had left all the designing in Estella's hands and had only specified what type of weapons he would needing.

Denki sets the case on the counter and unlocks it and lifts it with both excitement and nervousness and lets out a gasp of surprise.
