Multiligual Denki

A/N I suck at languages so I won't be actually writing in a different language because I only know English. I'm sorry 😅
Summary: Denki know A LOT of languages. He grew up moving and travelling a lot and had a lot of different languages in his home. His family had a faze where they learned sign language just so they didn't have to talk to people they didn't like and pretended to be mute. His family liked to pretended they didn't understand when people talked in different languages (to here bad talk or gossip) and then reveal it at the end and see the mortified expressions.

Denki will admit it he is awful at most subjects but there is always one subject he has excelled at, languages. Denki was fluent in a lot of languages unfortunately mathematics was not one. It seems no one in the class actually knew about this and he didn't go boasting about it either. Although it would get out eventually so Denki didn't make it his goal to keep it from anyone. And this is people slowly figuring out.

-language one-

Denki was just sitting in his seat not really paying attention to the English lesson because he already knew all this stuff. The teachers had asked him if he wanted to go in an upper class because he already knew the stuff they were teaching but he refused because he just didn't want to. The teachers couldn't really force him. So they let him do what he wanted during English class.

"Kaminari!" A voice came from behind him drawing his attention. "Why are you not paying attention! This is an important lesson!" Now he realised who it was, it was Iida. So he thought 'why not'.

"Because I already know this stuff," Denki says with a shrug turning back around.

A resounding 'ehhhh?' came from the class.

"Come on Denks don't lie!" Mina said in a fake disapproving tone. Denki just gave her a confused look.

"He isn't lying," this drew everyone's attention back to Present Mic. "He is fluent in English," Present Mic continued.

Mina turned back to Denki with surprised face "wait are you serious!?" Mina asks

"It's eh" Denki shrugged.

"Can you say a sentence in English for me!?" Mina asked excitedly. Denki gave a smile and a nod.

"Hi! My name is Denki, I do schooling at U.A. HighSchool!" Denki says in perfect English.

Minas eyes seemed to shimmer "ok, you're my new English study pal!" Mina says while scolding herself on how she never knew.

"Ok, that's cool with me!" Denki flashed a smile and a thumbs up. And then class started up again.

-language two- italics means French (I can't language, I'm sorry)

It was the end of the day and Denki was the last one in the class packing up the rest of his things. Suddenly the door swung open and in strode Aoyama.

"Isn't a wonderful day!" Aoyama said in his beautiful French language (he is fluent).

"yes it is! I hope it stays that way!" Denki hadn't even realised he was speaking in a different language, it was just an automatic response to speak in the same language as the other. And it had completely caught Aoyama off guard.

"You know French?" Aoyama questioned hoping he can finally talk in French with someone.

Denki eyes widened finally realising he spoke in a different language. "Oh yeah! I lived in France a while back and just continued to learn it after we moved again!" Denki replied.

"Excellent! We shall talk and no one will know what we are saying!" Aoyama declared.

Denki chuckled before giving his signature thumbs up. "Sure!"

And that's what happened he and Aoyama spoke to each other and everyone found out he was also fluent in French.

-language three-

Denki had been observing his classmates during the day, he had started to notice Kodas shivering and anxious gitters. He had noticed every loud noise seemed to make it worse.

Denki was going to mention it when he looked towards Koda and found him on the ground in a panic attack. Denki watched as people crowded him, he knew it was only making it worse. People tried to talk to Koda but that made it even worse and people were starting to freak out not knowing what to do. So he did the only logical thing. He got everyone the hell away from Koda. He grabbed each person and motioned for them to be quiet and stand back. After he had gotten everyone quiet and out of the way he kelt down in-front of Koda, he made sure his moves were slow and Koda could see him. He knew talking wasn't going to work so he did the next best thing.

Denki lightly tapped Koda to get his attention, once Koda looked up he began. 'Koda I'm going to need you to do something. Can you please give it a try?' Denki signed. Koda gave a small nod, anxiety still there.

'Can you follow my breathing?' Denki signed. Koda gave another nod. Denki then started doing deep breathes while Koda followed.

Soon Koda was calmed down and the two were happily signing to each other. The class just stood there, amazed at how Denki handled the situation.

When Koda and Denki parted ways and Denki was with his friends, they bombarded him with questions.

"Bro since when did you know sign?" Kiri asked in genuine confusion

"Like forever, my whole family know sign" Denki said nonchalantly.

"Why did you learn it?" Sero asked.

"Yeah! I know non of your family needs sign, so why?" Mina asked (she was probably the one that knew the most about his family)

"Oh thats easy!" The others listened in intrigued. "It's so we didn't have to talk to people we didn't like. We pretended to be mute." Denki said as if it was obvious.

When they had processed it Bakugou and Mina started laughing as Sero looked at him like he was stupid and Kiri looked at him in utter confusion.

"That is the most extra thing I've ever heard!" Mina said between giggles.

"Your Family Must have really fucking hated them" Bakugou states

"Yeah, they were annoying and rude." Denki agreed.

And this kept happening. If a classmate started taking in a different language, Denki would just reply. Momo had started talking in Russian (she learnt it from a tutor a while back) and Denki had started talking in Russian also. So after the forth time the class decided to set up a meeting, they decided to make a game out of it 'how many languages does Denki know?', they made a list of all the languages each of them knew and decided to bring them up around Denki. First was Tsu (Tsu knew Korean), and of course Denki knew Korean too and had started talking to her in Korean, she was
surprised to say the least. Todoroki had decided to join in too (he knew Spanish), and in fact Denki knew Spanish, everyone was slowly learning their classmate was very interesting and certainly beat all of them in the language department.

Tokoyami had decided to test something out, he wanted to know if Denki knew Morse code (Tokoyami know it) he decided to start off with a simple question directed at him 'hey. Do you know Morse code?' and he had actually replied with 'yes'. They had decided to talk like that during lunch and now Tokoyami had someone he could actually talk to.

"He knows Morse code." Tokoyami said. He had set up a meeting with the others to discuss the matter. "Are you sure he's human, he knows like every language." Jirou questioned.

After that the class slowly came to terms with Denki's weird language knowledge. Denki had slowly started talking in a lot of different languages for different people.

And that's how he became the multilingual of 1-A

A/N sorry this is kinda rushed.
