Hero of Hearts (Soriku)

Chapter 1

A few days after the USJ Incident, the students in class 1-A conversed as they would any other day before school. As usual, some stood around while others lounged at their desks, though today, many had the recent incident on their minds.

Kaminari leans back in his seat. "But man, all the channels made a big deal out of it."

"I was surprised," Kirishima admitted.

Jirou stopped playing with her earphone jacks as she sighed. "Can you blame them? The hero course that keeps pumping out pro heroes was attacked."

"But man, All Might was great." Sato threw punches in front of him as he continued his praise, "He pushed back those crazy strong villains."

"Yes, his strength is worth wondering at," Tokoyami agreed.

As the ring of the bell drew closer, the students scrambled to their seats, and an incoming burst of wind and quick footsteps drew closer to the classroom.

"Everyone! Morning homeroom is about to start!" Iida skidded to a halt before the podium at the front of the classroom, hands raised and outstretched. "Stop talking and take your seats!"

"We're already in our seats," someone remarked.

"You're the only one who's not," another said.

Some continued to stare at Iida as he finally took his own seat, pressing his fists down on the desk and grumbling. He was so stiff from the embarrassment his body shook. "Shoot!"

"Don't worry about it," Uraraka assured Iida from behind, tired.

Ashido leaned back in her chair, nearly falling back into Asui. "Tsu, who's..." she paused as Asui placed both hands on the back of her chair to keep her from falling. "...gonna teach homeroom today?" she continued.

"Well," Asui shifted her right hand from the back of the chair, placing her pointer finger to her chin in thought, "Mr. Aizawa is supposed to be in the hospital recovering from his injuries..."

"That's right..." Midoriya mutters to himself. "Mr. Aizawa did sustain a number of injuries at-"

"Morning."

The students' heads rapidly turned to the doorway, where a banged up, bandaged Aizawa stood. He wore two arm casts that covered the whole of his arms, including his hands, and his entire face was wrapped in bandages.

"Mr. Aizawa, you're back too soon!" the entire class exclaimed in shock.

"You're too much of a pro!" Kaminari decided, sweating nervously.

"So you're all right, Mr. Aizawa?" Iida asked, raising a hand, as Aizawa slowly walked up to the podium, two boys wearing the male school uniform behind him.

The taller one had short silver hair, one yellow and one red eye, and nearly transparent, colorful, bat-like wings that sprouted from his back. He also wore a black choker with two black bat-wing charms that dangle on either side of a pink charm in the shape of a strange symbol. The shorter had spiky brown hair, bright blue eyes, and, like a few other students, seemed to brighten the room up with just his presence.

"Can you really call that 'all right'?" Uraraka worries.

"My well-being doesn't matter." Aizawa stops at the podium, turning to face the class. "More importantly, the fight is not yet over."

"Fight?" Bakugo looked relatively unfazed besides the gleam of interest in his eyes.

"Don't tell me..." Midoriya was already worried.

"The villains again...?!" Mineta exclaimed, shaking in fear and sweating profusely.

Aizawa stared down the class through his bandages. "But before that-"
