A Day at U.A.

Tenko thinks he used all his luck in his first 15 years of life. Well, from ages 4-15, at least. He doesn't remember much from before that, but he does remember the picture of his grandmother, his sister's face, and the way his father crumbled to dust under his hands. Not the most pleasant memories (especially the rest about his birth father) but memories all the same.

That was all bad luck. The loneliness and desperation after the Incident he also remembers somewhat. Then came the good luck. What he does remember clearly, was Dad finding him. He remembers being taken to the bar and being introduced to Kurogiri (or is it Shirakumo now? Tenko doesn't know, but apparently memories from before he was Kurogiri have been returning slowly), and he remembers a year or two later he was taken to the Midoriya house. There he met his aunt and cousin (though now they're his mother and brother) and he couldn't ask for a better family.

Then, because his brother has always had a weird ability to befriend troubled kids, Izuku befriended the then-Todoroki's. Tenko met his best friend in that family, and they've always been there for each other.

Then Tenko came in fourth place for the UA entrance exam, and was put into the same class as Touya. He also managed to get a decent score on Aizawa-sensei's test on the first morning and wasn't expelled. All his luck has been used, he thinks.

Which is why he doesn't complain when he's paired with Baita Meinu in heroics class. She thinks she's hot shit, but no one likes her. She came second on the entrance exam, yes, but it was exclusively villain points. She got sixth on the apprehension tests too, but it was all with her quirk. It was a simple, yet versatile, force application quirk. Flashy, useful, and can be used in all kinds of situations, but she only uses it for the most obvious things. Pushing things, crushing things, nothing outside of the box.

Touya, the lucky bastard, had gotten paired with Tanoshi Iine. She was an empath, but she could slightly influence people's emotions and make constructs and attacks depending on what she was feeling. The effects had major differences between emotions, apparently. Best part about Tanoshi? She was a nice person.

The exercise was to find more flags than the opponent team, as well as fending off their attacks and stealing away their flags for themselves. They also had a 'home base' of sorts - really the whole thing was capture the flag, but with extra flags everywhere. Simple enough. For anyone that didn't have Baita Meinu, that is.

"You just stand back. Do something even a worthless worm like yourself could do, like hold the flag. You can do that much, right?" She didn't even wait for a response before sauntering off to find the other team.

Tenko just sighed and hung his head in his hands. She was going to get destroyed by the other team. Another stroke to the bad luck; they were against Touya and Tanoshi. A powerful duo, without arrogance and with smarts to plan things out. The smart thing for Tenko's team would be have Baita defend the flag (she could push anything and everything away from it, making it perfectly safe) while Tenko - who's had some level of stealth training already, and in all honesty was probably lighter - go fetch the other flags. But no. Baita just had to go off on her own. Tenko will just have to set up as many defenses and traps as he can.

It took all of the prep time and then some to set everything up. Tenko wasn't quite confident in using his large scale decay yet, so he was stuck with decaying things in small sections, as well as doing it quietly so as to prevent the other team from potentially hearing what he was doing.

The ground immediately surrounding the flag housed a complicated web of pipes and construction materials, while the ground further out from that was similar to a moat. With rudimentary spikes at the bottom. Tenko had also managed to create only a single entrance way to the grotto he made (not including from the sky), and there were some basic traps he constructed in the passageway inwards. Pretty decent for the limitations he had. He only had a moment to consider if he would stay with the booby trapped flag, or if he would go collect the mini ones, before the signal to start echoed through the jungle of pipes that was their battleground. He decided to collect the extra flags that are in a small radius of the base.

Not even five minutes into the exercise, Tenko could already hear the sounds of fighting. He had already found one bonus flag and was bringing it back to base, when "Baita Meinu is out." sounded. Tenko just heaved a long suffering sigh. Probably taken out by Touya judo flipping her. God he would've liked to see that.

Another fifteen minutes had passed quietly, and Touya had managed to collect and bring back about seven flags. He could wait for the next ten minutes to tick down and protect the base, which is what he probably should and would do, or he could go directly for the other base. The problem here was that Touya, his best friend of several years, and who obviously knew how Tenko thought and how he liked to play things safe, was his opponent. Touya would come to the conclusion that Tenko would stay back and defend his flag. Thus, he would have him and his partner search for the base and overpower him. It would leave their base undefended.

Making his mind up, Tenko silently made his way to where he thought the other base would be.

As he thought, unguarded.

It was child's play to take the flag and get back to his own base, though he did stop to discreetly take blackmail photos of his best friend stuck in some of Tenko's traps.

In the end, Tenko had won the exercise, and after a stern talking to Baina had been expelled. He doesn't know what happened in Aizawa-sensei's office, but it ended with Baina storming out yelling how she was the best in the school and how they can't expel her, just they wait, blah blah blah.

Aizawa-sensei also congratulated Tenko on his stealth, and offered to help him with it sometime.

"So how was school?"

"The class bitch got expelled, but I doubt she'll stay quiet. Might go vigilante or villain or something."

"What's her quirk?"

"Force application, but she isn't at all creative."

"I'll make sure to keep a look out."

Notes of Future-Past
Volume 1

Entry 10: Yamada Hizashi, left page

Birthday: July 7th
Age: 37
Height: 185cm
Blood type: B
Quirk: Voice
Yamada could increase the volume of his voice, causing damage to structures and eardrums. It could also cancel out sound-based quirks.

Yamada was charismatic and cheerful, as was befitting his job as a radio host. He loved audience and class engagement, and was a fun guy. He was incredibly grudge-bearing, though not as much as Aizawa was.

He was saddened after learning of something about Kurogiri - though he refused to say what - and went on a warpath shortly after the beginning of the War, hunting him and all his affiliates down. He naturally didn't last long, dying within the first year of the War, even before All for One was freed from Tartarus.

Apparently Aizawa had tried to get him to stop many times, but was just brushed off repeatedly.

He never showed up as a Noumu, though witnesses of his death reported that the body was in too many pieces and in too bad shape for that to be possible. We theorized he was taken out by a prototype version of a Were-class Noumu.
