Shinsou X Neko Reader

Part 1-Introductions

Quirk: Neko (You can turn into a cat. You can also turn any part of your body into a cat's, such as obtaining claws or a tail.)

Drawback: If you are currently a cat, and you fall asleep, you will forget that you are a human, and act like a regular housecat. If someone says your name, you remember who you are. 

(If you don't want to read the story and just want to get to the mature x reader part go to chapter 14. If you just want plot without sexual themes, read 1-13.)

            This was it. You finally passed the test and were accepted into U.A., the most prestigious hero school in all of Japan. You maneuvered through the entrance exam by using your wit; turning into a cat and slithering into the machinery, clawing the wiring from inside the large robots. Since you were so small, you didn't get a chance to show off, and not many students saw you or had any idea what you did. Therefore, they may underestimate you in the future. You note this, in case it may come in handy. Even though you weren't flashy, you did so well on the practical part of the exam that you got placed in the first hero course, class 1-A. You took the acceptance envelope and beamed with pride as you placed it neatly on your desk.

           You glance up at the clock. You had spent so much time in thought daydreaming and being prideful, grooming your fur that you almost missed class on the first day! You transform into a cat and race through the halls like no human ever could. The hallway was silent and bare, and you passed only a few people. Everyone else must have been quite early to class. Understandable, you thought, considering how it was the very first day of such an amazing school. It was good that the hallways were not filled with people, because if the halls were crowded, you, a cat, would attract a lot of attention, or perhaps even have your tail stomped on once or twice. The silly students would have tried petting and picking up 'the pretty kitty'. 

           You skid past the door to class, then you circle back after processing the sign and find your seat. You hop up onto the desk, rapt and at attention, tail curled neatly around your paws, waiting for class to start. You peek through one eye to assess your classmates. No one really stood out, except for a blonde boy who was yelling at an ordinary-looking kid for seemingly no reason. A white knight sort of fellow was defending the green-haired boy. The other, more normal-seeming kids socialized, talking about favorite colors, TV shows, and games. How boring.

           Ten dull minutes ticked by, and you settled into a curled loaf position. Eventually, you dozed off waiting for the teacher. This is a problem for you, because when you are in cat form, you easily fall asleep, as it is natural for cats to nap throughout the day instead of taking a long sleep at night. Since cats are light sleepers, you awoke with an ear-twitch at the sound of someone different, an adult. Where were you again? The adult human, who seemed to be in charge of the younger humans, got the teenagers calmed down and in the seats. He seemed like a no-nonsense person, and you respected him for that.

           You yawned, stretched, and started licking a paw, keeping one eye on the adult. He went through some normal boring school stuff. Then he noticed you. "Why is there a cat in here? How did no one notice that? Honestly, you're telling me that you, future heroes didn't notice? I'm scared of what will happen to society in a few years. I knew the future was looking grim. Geez." 

The students shot each other glances, unspeaking, and laughed. They had assumed that, like the principal, the cat may have had some sort of human intellect, not wanting to be offensive or jump to conclusions that the cat was not welcome. It eased some of the tension in the class at the thought; it was truly still ridiculous that a cat could be their classmate.

          He came over to you, and pet you a bit, expecting one of the students to answer his rhetorical question. "Well, who's little kitty is this?" he asked again. You rubbed against his weathered fingers.

         The plain-looking green-haired boy stood up with a blush on his cheeks. "A-actually Aizawa-sensei, I think that 'cat' is a student that has a cat quirk. Their name is Y/N. I did some research on my classmates..." He continued muttering, trailing off.

           Oh, looks like class has started. You licked your paw and jumped down into the seat. You hope you didn't sleep too long. What happened? The adult was bending right over your desk. Yikes, trouble on the first day?  A pink-haired girl and a yellow-haired boy were pointing at you laughing. Soon the rest of class was laughing again. You puffed up into yourself, scared of the noise with how amplified sounds were, and a dark-haired girl covered her ears and winced. "Talk about teacher's pet!" someone said. You look up to see the man still standing over you. 

            "Oh, are you the teacher? Nice to meet you." He just stared at you, mouth slightly open in shock of the situation, face slightly reddening. "I'm sorry, what did I do? I must have dozed off!" You look up at the teacher with a blank expression. The class had another roar of laughter. You turned back into a human, your cheeks blazing and sat down in the chair, hoping they were merely laughing because the teacher had made some joke, not because you had already messed up on your first day of school... and the teacher did not look like the type to joke around much.

            The teacher apologized to you with a bow, telling you he should have looked at your papers closer before class, though you had no idea why. "No, no, it's my fault," you replied, having no idea what was going on. He seemed nice. Maybe he made a rude cat joke when you were sleeping. 

            He went on to talk about how many students he had expelled for some reason, pivoting the class in another direction after walking to the front of the class. Looks like you weren't the only one wanting to forget whatever moment occurred.

           The rest of the day went without a hitch, and the incident wasn't brought up again. You even got to meet All-Might, who was a teacher this year. At your school! At the beginning of the day, you did placement tests with your homeroom teacher, Aizawa-sensei. 

            Your quirk didn't help very much in the tests, but you did best with 'standing long jump' and '50 meter dash' by simply being a cat. In things like throwing a baseball, you were absolutely ordinary. Overall, you think you got the worst score. Your heart sank as you recalled what Aizawa-sensei had said at the beginning of the test; the person with the worst score got expelled. You felt tears stupidly start to well up in your eyes, so you quickly swapped into a cat so you would not be able to cry in front of your new classmates. 

          "It's OK, I'm sure he didn't actually mean it. Anyway, I think I did way worse than you," a tall girl with a big black ponytail tells you. She must have been good at reading people to notice your moment so easily. "I think he just said that to make us be our best." She pats you on the shoulder hesitantly, as if unsure how to interact with a cat-student. She seemed pretty smart, and you had heard she got into U.A. just by recommendations. If she thought that, then you should believe it too. A red-haired boy came over as well. 

        "Are you ok? Seemed like you were maybe crying. Not the manliest..." The girl with the ponytail smacked him. 

      "Fight, fight, fight!" Cried a yellow-haired boy, flocking over, causing a scene. 

        "No, I deserved that. That wasn't very manl- I mean nice of me. Showing emotions is the manliest thing you can do. I kinda overuse the word a bit. Actually, it was really unmanly of Mr. Aizawa to make this contest at all... we're all just starting to learn." 

         The yellow-haired boy chimed in, pretty much restating what red hair had said, but in an even weirder way, like he was flirting. Why had you joined the hero course again? The girl introduced herself as Momo Yaoyorozu, and the boys were Ejiro Kirishima and Denki Kaminari.

           "I mean, who really ever expelled a student on the first day of school, right?" Denki said.

             Apparently, Aizawa-sensei did. As he said earlier, he had expelled a whole class, and he truly was a man of his word. Even though he was only 30, he had already expelled over a hundred students. He expelled the lowest scoring person, Minoru Mineta. He cried on his way out, and everyone else cheered except for Denki. It was already crystal clear that Mineta was an absolute pervert. You let out a sigh of relief, he was gone and you were not.
