POV: Aizawa 1st Person
"Isn't it a bit soon to let them into the school? They didn't even know what a quirk was." I questioned Principal Nezu's actions, but he did always do questionable things. "I think it would be a wonderful opportunity for them to learn about Japan and how to speak Japanese! Either way, we both know that wasn't a human language they spoke." He looked me dead in the eyes. "Alright Nezu, but don't count on me giving them a warm welcome. It is only the second day of school after all."
POV: Selo Phis 3rd Person
As she walked through the halls, she saw Uruaka again. Uruaka seemed frantic, eyes darting left and right. "Uraka!" Uruaka's brown eyes met Selo's gold ones.
"Tako! You made me so worried!!" Uruaka brings Selo into a hug. "What happened!?" "Learn... U.A..." "Wait, you enrolled here!?" "Y...yes." Uruaka let go of Selo. "Yay! Don't worry, I'll show you what it's like to be a hero!" Uruaka starts to swing her arm in a circular motion, like a wheel on a car. "Just wait until Deku and Iida find out!" "I...da?" "Oh! You don't know Iida, do you?" Selo shakes her head. "I'll introduce you to him tomorrow. I'll see you later then!" Uruaka turns to leave and waves goodbye, leaving Selo standing there. Selo just stands there, looking down the hallway. As she looked outside, she realized it was evening. She wanted to go home, but realized she didn't have one.
"T-Tako?" Selo turns around and sees Midoriya standing there, shying away from her gaze. "Please follow me. You can stay at my place." "Ok." Selo turns her entire body towards Midoriya and follows him out of U.A. Midoriya then starts to talk about his mom and what it's usually like at U.A. Selo took full interest in what he was saying, despite only knowing bits and pieces. "Then there's Bakugo." Selo took even more interest. It was the blonde kid that was chasing her earlier. "Ba...k..."she tried to put the sounds together. "Boom...me...run..." Midoriya was attempting to put her words together. "Kacchan used his quirk against you?" Selo nodded. "So you ran?" She nodded again. Midoriya put his hand against his chin in a thinking position and mumbled to himself. "Midora." "Please, call me Izuku." "I...zu...u..?" Selo began to think hard. "Izu?" Midoriya's cheeks were dusted with pink. "T-thats alright Tako..." Midoriya then led Selo up a few flights of stairs and stopped in front of a door. He pulled out a key and stuck it into the door knob. Selo watched intently, as she wasn't very familiar with this technology. Normally the doors back home are grates that only trained octolings could pass through. They walked in, and they were greeted by a short woman with green hair. Selo could definitely tell she was Midoriya's mom. "I'm back mom!" "Welcome back Izuku!" She hugged Midoriya, then took notice of Selo. "Who's your friend?" "Ah, that's Tako. Shes a friend from school! She doesn't really have a place to stay, so I invited her here!" The woman looked her up and down. "She seems very nice! I'm Inko, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Inko stretched her hand out. Selo quickly grabbed it and shook it. "Hello In...ko." "Tako! You're getting a better grasp of Japanese, I see." "Yeah." "I'll set up a futon for you in the living room Tako." Midoriya then went off into the other room. Inko then sighed and looked back at Selo. "Do you want some different clothes?" Inko asked Selo. Selo just realized she was still in her octoling armor. She then realized that her clothes are ink resistant, and regular clothes are not. She looks up at Inko snd shakes her head no. Inko then nods and goes to the kitchen while Midoriya comes out with a pillow and various blankets. He laid them on the hardwood floor, looking back at Selo. He then rushed in and out of his room, holding a t-shirt and pants. Both of which were oversized. "Y-you can wear these Tako." Selo looked at the clothes and politely declined. Midoriya insisted, however, and she took the clothes. In doing so, she also took off her ink tank. She just realized no one questioned why she was holding a gun, and became concerned.

Later that night, after everyone was asleep, Selo woke up and got out of the futon. She changed back into her armor and grabbed her ink tank and octoshot. She wanted to explore a bit after regenerating her ink. She went outside and jumped to the ground, silently. She then shot a blob of ink on the grass and submerged into it, regenerating her ink. She then got out of the puddle and then contemplated what she should do with the ink. She couldn't just leave it there, but maybe theres bacteria in the air that can take the chemicals in the ink and digest them, like the bacteria back home. She left the ink and ran down the street.

The moon was high in the air and she didn't really have a clear direction to go. She wandered into the city, running around seeing various shops with no light inside. She then came across a bridge. She stood atop the bridge, thinking she could get a better view at the top. She then shifted forms and shot herself into the sky and on top of the bridge. The view was breathtaking. The lights in the windows glistened, and could almost be mistaken for stars. She started to daydream about taking her troops with her to see this, when she was interrupted by a shout.

"Hey! You!" Selo looked down. The person calling to her wasn't someone she had seen before. She couldn't tell at this height anyways. She jumped down from the bridge, making a mini crater where she landed. She observed the human that called her. Theb she realized she couldn't observe her at all, she was invisible! "What were you doing up there!?" She asked in a worried tone. "Wa...tch... wait..." The girl looked at her confused. The girl then sighed. "No matter. The real question is why are you up so late!? Its 3 am!" Selo then tilted her head. "I don't... understand..." The girl then made a surprised gesture. "Well, I'm Toru Hagakure!" "Tako..." "it's a pleasure meeting you!"

Fun fact:
Selo thought she heard Bakugo for a moment, but then realized it wasn't him.
Hagakure was going to do some morning shopping, but decided to go to the bridge to look at the ocean.
Yes, the ink did get cleaned up.
