The Immortal Hero: Phoenix

Chapter 8: Foundations of a Hero

The first day of a Lessons at U.A brought a wave of nostalgia for Izuka. She'd been coming to U.A for tutoring since she was ten, but it was a very different experience than the traditional classroom setting, which she hadn't been a part of since she was kidnapped during Elementary School. Sitting behind a desk, surrounded by her peers while listening to a teacher lecturing was a much less personal experience compared to the tutoring, but she couldn't deny that she liked it. The lessons themselves were fairly easy, since Izuka had been studying with Nezu, but they were made interesting by the teachers themselves, all of whom were Pro-Heroes! Present Mic taught English, Cementoss taught Modern Literature, Ectoplasm taught Mathematics and even Midnight taught a lesson; Modern Hero Art History.

The classes themselves were fairly normal despite the Hero Teachers, though each one did discreetly acknowledge Izuka (or at least Ectoplasm and Cementoss did, Present Mic outright called her out to chat before class, and Midnight insisted on her hugging her in front of all of Class 1-A when she first walked into the room). Even Lunch was a normal experience made interesting by the person in charge; the Cooking Hero Lunch-Rush!

But finally, the afternoon came and just as Aizawa was settling the class for the Pre-Hero Studies Homeroom, the door was thrown open. "I AM HERE!"

Izuka grinned, "He came!"

All-Might, dressed in his Silver Age Costume, burst through the door "I'M COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" he announced, noticeably NOT entering through he door like a normal person.

The class went wild; "I can't believe it! All-Might's really gonna be teaching us!"

"Check out that costume! It's so Silver Age it gives me goosebumps!"

Aizawa just scowled at the man; "You're early for the first time in your life and in the process, interrupt Homeroom... only you, All-Might..."

All-Might's smile turned bashful, "Ah! My apologies, Aizawa! I wanted to come early so I could give my introductions and get to know the class before we do the first Hero Activity! I also brought some Upperclassmen to talk to you all!"

Aizawa just sighed; "I'll leave it to you then. Just don't keep those three out of class for long." he said, already having guessed who the Upperclassmen were. He walked out and three Third Years walked in. Two boys and a girl; the first boy was very muscular and had blond hair reminiscent of a young Present Mic, though is face was... oddly plain. The second boy was a gloomy looking guy with wild black hair and the final student, the girl, had very long light blue hair that reached her legs and twisted as it reached her waist.

All-Might smiled at them and Izuka practically jumped out of her seat; "Mirio-Senpai!"

"Izuka! It's good to see you as a Student finally! The Nurse's office has been a more sombre place without you scampering about!" the blond boy grinned, ruffling Izuka's hair.

Seeing the class looking confused, All-Might introduced them; "Class, these are the three top ranked students among the Third Years here, and are thus the top three Hero Students in both U.A and the country as a whole! We call them the Big Three!"

"I've heard of these guys... they're on a whole other level compared to us." Jiro commented.
