Selo was finally out of bed and heading to the 1-A classroom when a hand was placed on her shoulder. She whipped her head back to see who it was. It was a girl with yellow eyes and pink hair. Her hair looked like they were thick noodles. She was wearing the gym uniform, except the jacket was tied around her waist.
"Hey! You must be Tako!" She began with a smile. She changed the position of her hand to grab Selo's wrist. "Come on! Majima has something for you!" Selo quickly turned in order to follow her instead of being dragged. "Oh, by the way, I'm Mei Hatsume! I'm in the support course!" Selo thought to herself. Majima mentioned it once or twice.
"Hello." Hatsume stopped in front of the support work space. Majima looked up from the project he was working on.
"Ah, there you are Tako. I finished what you asked me for." Selo's eyes lit up. "It might not be perfect, but you can make any tweaks you need to here." Majima went to a closet and pulled out a giant brush. It was bigger than Selo, with paint already on the tip. The tip was flat as well, making the marks on the floor wide lines. Majima handed this brush to Selo. Selo looked at the brush with glee. She dreamed of using this, but never got to because of her status in the army. "Thank you Majima." She put the brush over her shoulder. She then remembered something else. She pulled out a piece of paper, as well as a glass vial with the green ink from yesterday. "Ink tank." She handed the paper to Majima. What was detailed on it seemed to be blueprints. She then pointed to the vial before handing it off to Majima. "Hold acid ink." Majima thought, then nodded in understanding. Today was going to be a good day.

"There is something very important coming up..." Everyone was on edge as Aizawa said this. Silence filled the room. "The sports festival is coming up." Everyone was ecstatic, jumping into the air until Aizawa sat them all down. A few students, Selo included, didn't know what this was and didn't jump up. Then again, she didn't understand most of it. The door opened and Nilotic was there.
"Sorry for being late and interrupting Aizawa, I had some things to attend to." Nilotic gave her signature soft smile. She walked back over to Selo. Like the first time they met, she brought their lips together in order to understand her language.
"So you kissed someone else with your quirk activated? Or did you just want an excuse to kiss me?" Selo kept her straight face as Nilotic giggled.
"You'll never know." Selo sighed and looked back to the front. Nilotic and Selo didn't seem to notice the various stares of jealousy from some students. Aizawa started going off on explaining what the U.A. Sports Festival is. It didn't seem logical why they held this event after a villain attack, but Aizawa quickly explained. Selo ended up thinking about how she'd utilize her new weapon in battle. Brush and bomb, an interesting combo. In the end, she picked up on the fact that she had plenty of time until the festival to prepare. She decided to take this time to learn her weapon. She left the classroom with Nilotic, ignoring her classmates calling to her.

"Selo, you know it was kinda rude you ignored your friends."
"I'd rather them not try to pry me open like a safe."
"You can tell me anything, you know." Selo speed up her walking as Nilotic said this. "Why are you trying to leave?"
"Because you're clearly trying to open me up like them."
"Come onnnn, I'm practically your personal assistant."
"Personal assistant my ass." Nilotic looked at Selo in minor surprise. She wasn't aware she knew another language.
"What did you just say?"
"Nothing for you to worry about. Why don't you go home for the day?" Nilotic thought for a moment.
"Fine." Nilotic turned down an alleyway.
"Hey extra." Selo turned to see Bakugo standing there.
"What?"
"I..." he averts his eyes and tries to hide his face. "I want you to teach me how to speak your language." Selo looks at him with tired eyes. "Tomorrow." Bakugo perked up. "Teach tomorrow. Selo turned back around and headed to Midoriya's house.

As she opened the door, she was tackled by a hug from Inko.
"I was so worried when you didnt come home yesterday!" Inko buried her face into Selo's chest, since Selo was quite tall. Selo put her arm on Inko's back and her other hand on her head. Inko pulled away from the hug. "Sorry, I just thought something happened."
"Izu didn't... tell?" Inko looked inside. "He actually rushed out of the house before I could ask him anything. He said he was going to the mall and came back with a big box. Maybe it's a gift for someone." Selo and Inko walked into the house, finding Midoriya lifting a small weight on the couch. "Hello Izu." Selo waved to him. "Hey Selo!" He put the weight down and Selo looked at it. She looked back up at Midoriya. "Learn... my l... angu... age?" Midoriyas eyes slightly widened. "You want me to learn your language?" Selo nods. Midoriya gave her a wide grin. "I'd love to! But why are you asking so suddenly?" Midoriyas eyes seemed to peer into her soul. "Bakugo asked. He wants to... learn l... anguage." Midoriya looked to the floor and shakes his head a bit. "I'll still do it. It would be nice if I could talk to you in your native language." Selo's straight face sported a slight smile. To Midoriya, it looked nice and natural. It was the first time she smiled ever since she got to this world. "Oh! Right!" Midoriya got up and went to his room. Selo sat on the couch as Midoriya wheeled out a small white plastic suitcase. "I thought that you move around so much and you like to keep your things with you, you'd want to have something to carry your things in." Midoriya wheeled it over to Selo, who observed it and smiled. "Thank you. I a... pprec... iate it."
