3rd Person POV, Selo
She stirred in her sleep, slowly opening her eyes. She had forgotten she fell asleep at Bakugo's house and shot up in surprise. She looked outside. The sun hasn't risen yet. It was probably early morning then. She rolled off the couch then looked over at the coffee table. Her uniform was there. She picked it up and quickly got changed. She then whipped her head around towards the sound of footsteps and saw it was Bakugo.
"It's 3 in the damn morning... what the hell are you doing?" Selo looked back at Bakugo.
"Walk." Selo picked up her bag and hoisted it onto her shoulder. "See. You." She goes to leave but Bakugo grabs her wrist. "Stay. Please." Selo quickly shifted in and out of her octopus form and opens the door to escape his grasp. "Bye."

1st Person POV, ???
It's 3 am. I haven't been up for that long, but it's felt like hours. Ever since my old man kept pestering me about waking up early to train, I don't think I've slept properly for a while. Not like it's mattered. I'm currently going through the city. It's somewhat cold, so I've been using my quirk to warm me up. After walking around for a bit, I saw a gleam of silver in the distance. Who is that? As the gleam got closer, I saw it was Tako. I wonder if her Japanese has gotten better, or her math skills.

3rd Person POV, Selo
As Selo walked in the cold, Todoroki approached her. "Hello To...doroki." "Hello Tako. How are you today?" Selo looked back at him with confused and tired eyes. "I don't understand." Todoroki thought for a bit. "How are you?" Selo shook her head. "Are you well?" Selo thought for a moment to process what he said then nodded. "I am fine." They stood in silence for a moment. "Aren't you cold?" "Cold?" Selo didn't really know temperature terms, but she didn't really feel particularly cold or hot in general. "...no." Todoroki looked at her skeptical. "Are you sure?" She nodded. The sun then began to rise behind her, making her look like a silhouette. Todoroki turned away from her and started to walk away in an attempt to hide his pink cheeks. "I'll see you in class Tako." Selo nodded and turned around.

Selo still didn't have a particular destination. She continued to roam around the city. She spaced out until she bumped into someone. "Sorry." She said before looking up at who she bumped into. He had blue hair and hands all over his body. He could really use some chapstick. He scoffed. He then continued on his way, not bothering to say anything. Selo looked at him strangely, and kept this interaction in the back of her head for the next hour.

Selo sat at her desk, still thinking about her interaction with crust man. Nilotic wasn't coming to the school, since she was supposed to be training most of the day.
"Hey, Tako!" Selo looked to the door to see a familiar green head. "How was your stay at Ba-" Bakugo looked at Midoriya menacingly before he could finish his statement. Selo looked at him confused, then said her default response. "Okay." Midoriya sighed in relief and went to his seat. Students flooded in and Aizawa took role call.
"Alright class. Today we'll be doing rescue training. The bus is outside and waiting." Iida immediately got up and presented his seating arrangements, telling everyone to buddy up with their partner and get on the bus. In the end, after everyone got suited up and such, his plans backfired. Selo sat by herself in the very back of the bus. She didn't really care about the conversation the others were having.
"But Tako's quirk could be really powerful if used right." A frog-like girl stated. This caught Selo's attention. "We don't even know the full extent of her quirk."
"Yeah," Kirishima began, "if anything it seems like she came from another world." Selo continued to space out after the topic changed to Bakugo and Todoroki's quirks, and how Bakugo's temper would be his downfall as a hero.

"We have arrived." Selo looked out the window as Aizawa said that. They arrived in front of an off campus site that resembled a dome. Everyone filed off the bus and into the building. They were greeted by a being in an astronaut suit, who explained what they were doing. Apparently the site was called the USJ, and was meant to simulate various types of natural disasters. Some include the landslide zone, the flood zone, and more. Aizawa then started to talk to the being, who is called 13. As they spoke, 13 held up three fingers. Selo looked over at Midoriya, who seemed to understand what was happening. Selo found this odd and kept a mental note. As Aizawa was about to tell the class what to do, a foggy purple mass began to collect in the enter of the building. As it stretched out, men and women of all shapes and sizes began to emerge out of it. "Get back! Those are real villains!" Selo looked at the villains, gripping her octo shot. "Get the students out safely!" The fog man then immediately transported in front of the door. "I can not allow you to leave." Kirishima and Bakugo then lept at the man, only to be engulfed in the fog. As Selo scanned her surroundings, she saw Aizawa had already jumped to stop the villains, and students were already being surrounded by this portal man. Selo did what she knew how to do best. Sneak and attack. She inked the ground under the portal man, who scattered most of her classmates around the facility, and popped out of it. She jumped into the air and went to kick the entity, but missed. As the fog dodged, however, she saw a metal piece in the middle. She aimed her octo shot and fired some in. The metal melted a bit as they fell in agony. "Iida!" Selo called out. "Go!" She pointed to the door as the rest of her classmates attempted to hold the entity down. Selo then turned and ran towards Aizawa. As she ran faster and faster, she saw him. The crusty man. She stared deep into his eyes. I knew I had a bad feeling about him.
