I'm No Hero (My Hero Academia Fanfic)

Chapter 11

Despite having that conversation with Mr. Elastic and barely making it out alive during the first exam, I somehow manage to make it through my first week at U.A.

And surviving that first week turned into surviving my first month at U.A.

It was kind of strange how classes blurred into one another. While the second half of the day nearly killed me with all the hero training, the first half wasn't bad. It probably helped that the entire school day started out with history. I really enjoyed learning history from Ape X, a hero who took the form of an oversized gorilla. As a hero, he only wore a tie and ripped cargo shorts which differed from what he wore in class. It was strange seeing him in a full suit, especially since the gorilla hero looked very uncomfortable in it. Despite how uncomfortable as he looked, he still made history fun.

Before class could even start, I started to look over my notes, scribbling whatever notes I forgot or tried to find easier ways to memorize things. Unlike Ollie, I couldn't teach myself by acting it out, but I could find ways to make the material easier to learn. It would be one thing if this was material we had already learned about in previous years; however, the gorilla hero made sure he concentrated on the material that no one ever seemed to want to teach about.

Learning about it made me eager to learn more.

This must have been how my classmates felt about the hero classes, which always left me sore. How they found joy in getting beat up, overusing their Quirk, or whatever it was Mr. Elastic decided to throw at us, I'd never know. At least that sort of training was left for the second half of the day, otherwise I would've found it harder to concentrate in my academic classes. Well, assuming I could even make it to those classes after nearly being thrown to the brink of death.

If things were reversed, well, I wouldn't have enjoyed history as much, knowing that I would have probably been distracted by the pain rather than eager to learn the new material.

Somehow, I'd find a way out of these classes, but not right away. I had to make it look like I was trying a little bit for my family.

"Here, five dorayaki, Orangie" Sakura mumbled as she threw the pancake-looking treats wrapped in clear wrappers on Kaito's desk.

I turned my head, seeing Kaito pulling those treats to the center of his desk, smiling up at Sakura. It was a vastly different expression than the one Sakura had as she crossed her arms and had her nose scrunched. She was clearly bitter about losing their bet.

It was a shock to say the least. I didn't think Sakura would have ever lost a bet, but Kaito proved the impossible. Apparently, Michi had a boyfriend who went to Seijin High. While it was somewhat far, they must've called each other everyday. Since Sakura and Kaito found out about it during the first week of school, Sakura owed him his five dorayaki, but she wasn't happy about it. She thought he rigged it somehow. Sakura even went as far to prove that by demanding Michi about her boyfriend and for her to call him for proof.

The boy sitting between us took his seat, causing me to look away from both Sakura and Kaito. True to Mr. Elastic's word, the placement test was just a way to get us to work harder. No matter what, we would stay in the same seats we were first assigned to. While I wasn't complaining about my current rank—as I wanted out of here—it was kind of sad that I sat far away from all my friends. Kaito was the closest one to me, but even then, there was someone sitting between us. Sakura was a lot further away from me than he was from me, sitting three seats ahead of me, and one seat over. Part of me worried how she would do so far away, but Yamamoto sat behind her while Daigo sat pretty close to her.

At least I could just worry about myself. If anything, it could be another excuse as to why I had eventually dropped out of U.A. without it making it look like I didn't want to be here in the first place.
