Engines- A Kami-Iida Story

Chapter One: The Beginning

Kaminari's POV

    UA. The literal school for heroes, and I, Denki Kaminari, am walking through the front doors. It’s so surreal! I went from being the kid who couldn’t control his quirk, to the student at the prestigious school that might change my future for the better. I could be a hero, like All Might! Well, maybe not that big of a hero. I’m not here to become one of the big heros, just someone who can help the world a bit. Although, with a quirk like mine, it’s a bit hard to stay out of the spotlight. Turns out, having the power of electricity gets a lot of attention, especially when I shock someone accidentally. 

    But here I am, among people who would be my future friends! Hopefully at least. I walk into the building, hoping to get to class a bit early to meet some new people. It has a very fancy interior, with shiny tiled floors and cream colored walls, but I don’t have time to look around. As it turns out, the building is huge, and I end up getting to class a couple minutes before the bell rings. The sign above my homeroom door reads “1-A”. I look at the door, take a deep breath, and walk in.

    “I’m gonna have fun tearing you a new one!”

I hear a gruff voice say. I look around to see one of the boys from the entrance exam, the guy with the explosion hands. He seems angry, but from what I saw of him, he seems to always be angry. But who’s he yelling at? I look around him to see a taller guy with blue hair and oddly shaped eyebrows. He was the one with the weird engine legs, right? He seems to be pretty uptight, but he seems smart to say the least. If I talk to him, maybe his intelligence can rub off on me and I can pass the more school-y stuff. I realize I have been staring at him for a little longer than is normal, and quickly shift my gaze to what I assume to be my seat. I quickly sit down, and relax into my chair. The door opens once more, but this time, there isn’t a student there. In fact, I can’t see anyone there at all. That is, until a man in what appears to be a yellow sleeping bag stands up. 

    The bag unzips to reveal a man with greasy black hair, and with a large gray scarf wrapped around his neck and a bit of his shoulders. He seems extremely exhausted, almost like he’s about to pass out at any given moment. Is he a student? Or a homeless man who somehow got in? He seems to out of it to be any kind of teacher, especially at a school like UA. He slouches over, and walks into the classroom. He mutters something, and holds out what looks like gym uniforms. We all hesitate, but grab ones from him. The uniforms are a bright blue, with the letters UA on the front. It’s.. real. All of it suddenly hits me like a wave. I’m in training to become a hero. I need to get it together because I, Denki Kaminari, am going to be a hero.
