Chapter 5

"TODAY IS ANOTHER DAY!!!" I reassured myself as I woke up.

This is the day that I redeem myself. Today I will be reborn into a better hero. Today I will make a difference. Today-

Fast forward to School in the Principal's Office
"I am in trouble..." I shivered as I waited for the principal to scold me.

Long story short, I haven't passed a draft of my hero costume yet. This is because I was still unsure of the design and it never occurred to me that I would be needing one this soon. And with short notice, I was informed that we would be needing them later for our Hero Basic Training. Fuck, they're going to expel me for lack of compassion aren't they?

I facepalmed myself as I waited. It has been a drastic 30 minutes and I have been sweating profusely.

Minutes later the door opened and in shock, I hurriedly stood up. But I couldn't see a shadow, nor felt a dash of wind enter. I felt a chill run down my spine as I thought that maybe the principal's room was haunted. I gulped in horror.

"Your line of sight is what's wrong Miss L/N. I am over here.", a voice coming from below said. I panickedly looked down and immediately saw a small white creature with a scar on his right eye standing right before me. He was sipping coffee and I couldn't help but let out a questioned look at him. Who is this? Or what is this rather?

"Good morning. I am Principal Nezu.", he claimed as he sipped on his cup.

I gasped and bowed as soon as he uttered the word 'principal'. HOW RUDE OF MEEEE!!!

"I'm t-terribly sorry p-principal for my horrendous a-acts. P-please spare m-me.", I apologized, practically pleading him. How the fuck could I give the Principal of UA such a look?! That's it, I'm done for.

"It's alright, Miss L/N. I get those looks a lot. So.... I see you haven't passed a draft of your hero costume yet. Are you having trouble with the design?", he asked me as he stood on his chair.

"W-well... a l-little. I guess hehe. B-but I'll finish it soon, sir! I promise!", I frantically replied. I hope I can.

"Well. It's fine with me. But I hope you can submit your draft as soon as possible. Or else you'll have to wear your PE uniform every Hero Training and that wouldn't be convenient for you Miss L/N. You can wear your PE uniform for later.", Principal Nezu assured sipping another on his cup of coffee.

I nodded and bowed slightly before him. "Thank you so much, sir."

"Off you go now.", he told me as I stepped outside of his office.

I let out a sigh of relief as soon as I got out. Thank goodness. I thought I was dead meat for sure. I gradually made my way towards our classroom.

Why haven't I finished my costume yet? Oh yeah. Right. I was too busy worrying about school and friends and being a better hero that I forgot to sketch my design. Now I'm practically forced to create one as soon as possible.... I am badly in need of help.

I entered the classroom in dismay. But since classes were already starting, no one could approach me and ask what's wrong although most of them had worried looks on their faces... well except for Bakugo who's stoic as usual.

I kept thinking about what I would do for my costume's design that I wasn't able to concentrate on the classes nor my friends' worried questions at all. Until finally... (dreadfully)... afternoon came...

"I am...."

A graspy voice coming from outside said making Izuku gasp to which I noticed. Why, who was it?
