The next group was Izuku himself and the boy with the lightning bolt as Izuku took his socks and shoes off. They stood at the foot of the lines until they got into position until the sound of the gunshot rang out once more as Izuku summoned OFA: Full Cowling 20% and his clawed hands and feet. The cheetah's speed of the Dumuren, combined with OFA, and his claws digging into the ground to further push him gives Izuku a massive head-start. He was on the other side in a flash as the machine rang out 1.08 seconds.
Izuku's wings sprout from his back to use as a parachute as he feels his upper torso getting yanked. After repositioning himself and landing on the floor, he turned his arms and legs back and retracted his wings. He heats his back slightly as he feels his gym uniform sew itself back together. Izuku recommended Auntie Mitsuki's special heat-sewing cloth for all his outfits so it wouldn't be so bothersome to get a new outfit every time there were tears in them. He heard the machine give a score of 6.87 seconds for the lightning bolt hair boy as they walked back to the group. There, Izuku gets bombarded by the brunette, the boy he was paired with, and some other students.
"Dude, that's awesome! Bat wings, claws, and that throw back there, you sure your power's not a dragon like Ryukyu? Oh I never introduced myself, my name's Denki Kaminari." Lightning boy asked as he shook hands with Izuku as others crowded him.
"No, it's a dumuren not a dragon." He answered as Katsuki, Tenya, and the brunette also walked towards them.
"Hi there, Mina Ashido, what's a Dumuren? Is it a dragon relative?" She asked as she clenched her hands into fists and bounced them up and down. The spiky redhead and others were beginning to ask Izuku too many questions for him to process, luckily Katsuki came in with his own information and a crazy smirk.
"The Dumuren is a mythical creature. It's basically an animal version of All Might, protects people, keeps the peace, and is the fucking absolute best because it's unbeatable." Katsuki explained as he hit his best friend's back ferociously as Izuku looked at him in exasperation while rubbing his back.
"Ohhh, a creature like All Might! Like super strength and super speed?" The brunette asked before Tenya could have the chance of lecturing Katsuki on his foul language. Izuku smiled and he tried to explain when...
"Well that, but also other abilities such as-"
"The abilities of the cheetah, bat, and siren, elemental powers and resistance, size manipulation, indestructible wings, flexible wing thumbs, 360 degree turning and prehensile tail, fur-hardening armor, enhanced senses, and many other abilities not yet discovered. They're known for their titles as Humanity's Guardian, Creature of Peace, and the Undefeated Myth." A deep voice rang out as everyone turned to see the red and white haired boy walking past Izuku as his name Shoto Todoroki is called as he's set up with someone named Toru Hagakure. Everyone watches as the gunshot is heard and he makes a ramp of ice that shoots him across the field with speed that almost rivals Izuku. The machine rings out with a score of 2.95 seconds as he lands and melts the ice. Poor Hagakure is almost knocked out of the field but she regains her form and jogs down the field. Despite her poor showing, the machine gives her 8.09 seconds. Shoto then walks off while making eye contact with Izuku, a challenge floating in the air as the greenette stares at him. Silence erupts the air until it's broken by Kaminari once more.
"Woah, hey I think I know that guy. Yeah, he's Shoto Todoroki, the son of the Number Two Hero: Endeavor."
"What, really? Guess that explains how he got in on recommendations." Ashido replied.
"Wait, he got in on recommendations! That means he's super strong then. Oh yeah, I also didn't give you my name yet, Eijiro Kirishima." The spiky redhead commented as he hardened his fists and pounded them together before offering his hand to Izuku.
"Izuku Midoriya and-" The greenette was about to point to Katsuki but Kirishima beat him to it.
"Katsuki Bakugo, I know. I actually know the two of you." Said boy and Izuku looked at Kirishima as he continued.
"I read that article almost a year ago about how some kid got taken as a hostage from the sludge villain, and how another kid, apparently his friend, went in and saved him! That was so manly of you Midoriya, and it was amazing how you transformed into a dragon-"
"Dumuren." Izuku and Katsuki corrected him.
"Dumuren sorry, but it was awesome and Bakugo, you were awesome in fighting back against the guy even without your Quirk. And then All Might swooped in and saved the day. That was the most manliest day ever, and no wonder your dumuren form looked so familiar on the throwing pitch. That was my favorite news report ever even even though I don't usually read the news." Kirishima finished his rant as Izuku and Katsuki sweat dropped from his enthusiasm while the others also chime in.
"Oh yeah, they say a creature said to protect people went in and saved Bakugo! It was amazing! Talk about creature sightings." The brunette shouted.
"You do know it's just Deku's Quirk that allows him to turn into a dumuren right, Pink Cheeks?" Katsuki asked as the girl bristled at his unusual nickname for her.
"Pink Cheeks?"
"Well I don't know your name since you never introduced yourself." He reasoned as she thought back to all their interactions and realized he was right. She never did introduced herself.
"Oh sorry. I'm Ochaco Uraraka and I already know your names too from the article, but I kinda forgot later on since it was a long time ago." She said eagerly and sheepishly on the last parts.
"Forgot later on. You have a poor memory, Pink Cheeks." Katsuki snickered as Ochaco tried to puff out steam.
"It's Ochaco Uraraka!" She reminds him as he takes out one of his hands from his pant pockets and pats her on the head jokingly.
"I know but if you want me to call you by your actual name, you need to earn my respect first, Pink Cheeks." He smirked in amusement as she pouted. The fun was ruined with Tenya's annoying rants and arm chopping. Seriously, does he not know that he could hit someone in the head if he continues doing that?
"She already gave you her name, so you should call her by her respected last name!" Luckily, Ochaco ended it.
"No Iida, he's right but I'll get his respect soon. You'll see." She turns to Katsuki and sports a confident smirk which he returns. Izuku smiles as they have new friends and Katsuki has another rival and challenger. His smile disappears when he sees Shoto staring at him with a look that wants to tear him a new one. Though the red and white harried boy looks away when their teacher calls out for the students to finally begin test 2: Grip Strength.
He brought everyone into the gym stadium and gave them all grip machines to measure their strength. Izuku uses OFA: Full Cowling 20% and his Dumuren strength and produces a result of 610 kilograms as Katsuki got an impressive score of 345 kilograms. The two looked at each other and smirked, it is on. They heard the weird elbow guy and a small boy with purple balls for hair exclaim near another boy that was the tallest in the class, was wearing a mask that covers his mouth, and has arms that looked like they split in six. They hear the two shout that he hit 540 kilograms as everyone else was curious about someone else's score as groups of three to four formed. Right now it was Izuku, Katsuki, Ochaco, and Tenya as the latter two also had good scores.
The third test was the Standing Long Jump as a long sand pit laid before them for the students to jump across. It wasn't a problem for students like Izuku, Katsuki, the navel laser boy, Tenya, Ochaco, and Shoto, while others struggled a little. The fourth test was Repeated Side Steps which wasn't a problem for said students and it gave the boy with the weird purple hair time to shine as he used the balls to form two clumps that he used to propel himself left and right. The fifth test was the Ball Throw as Katsuki went up and had 705.2 meters as he walked back to Izuku as Shoto took the stage. He pulled his arm back until he threw the ball but then used ice to make a large, thin glacier to freeze the ball and push it further into the air. His score was 780.9, beating Katsuki's but not Izuku's score. He scowled in annoyance before he walked back and once again eyed Izuku. The two stared at each other as Katsuki scoffed at him as Ochaco went up and used her Zero Gravity Quirk to make the ball float until it was practically out of orbit. She got a score of infinity which Aizawa allowed and everyone was surprised to say the least.
"That's insane! How's that possible?" Kaminari questioned as she walked back to Izuku and Katsuki. She's now the new number one record holder for the ball throw as she walked back to the two and gave Katsuki a cocky smirk. Not bad, he had to admit, Katsuki gave Ochaco a high five for a job well done that she graciously took. The remaining tests were Sit-ups, Seated Toe-Touch, and the Long-Distance Run which were pretty easy to accomplish with Izuku and Katsuki getting good results and making it a game between them and Ochaco. But the competition between the three was unfortunately cut short as the tests were completed and everyone is now standing in front of Aizawa as he holds a hand-held device.
"All right, time to give you your results. I've ranked you all from best to worst, you should probably have a good idea of your standing already. I'll just pull up the whole list, it's not worth going over each individual's score." He said that as a holographic screen with everyone's names listed from first to twentieth.

Everyone had either happy or disappointed faces from where they were placed. Izuku had a surprised look on his face, even while using Dumuren form and OFA: Full Cowling 20%, Katsuki and several others were able to keep up with him in some of the tests. He felt a hand on his shoulder as Katsuki looked at him with a face of both pride and a challenge. He'll get first place soon if they do the assessment test again. Izuku took the challenge as they fist bumped together while Ochaco and Tenya came near them. They gave Izuku congrats for making it to first place while they mused on their current standing.
"And I was lying, no one's going home." Aizawa said as the screen disappeared as everyone looked at him in shock. He gave the students a wicked smirk. "That was just a rational deception to make sure you gave it your all in the tests."
"WHAT!" Everyone, except Izuku, Katsuki, and the Yaoyorozu girl, screeched as some of the students who were afraid of getting expelled for getting poor scores sighed in relief. The ball-headed boy was relieved that he wasn't getting expelled since his Quirk didn't have much uses except for repeated side steps. That and he was too busy staring at the girls' breasts and butts to care about the test.
"I'm surprised the rest of you didn't figure that out. I'm sorry, I guess I probably should have said something." Yaoyorozu, the girl with black hair tied in a spiky ponytail and the tallest female student, said. Everyone who took in Aizawa's lie seriously looked at her in exasperation. She couldn't have clued them in?
"That's it, we're done for the day. Pick up a syllabus in the classroom and read it over before tomorrow morning. Also, when you get back to the class, I want you all to give a small description about yourself. Just your name, Quirk, and hobbies." Aizawa said as he walked off inside the school. Everyone also walked inside as the girls already went into their respective changing room.
"Midobro, congratulations on getting first place man." Kirishima said as he wraps an arm around him. The weird elbow boy also did it to Izuku on his other side.
"Yeah, that was awesome and your Dumuren form is sick. I know we're going to introduce our names to each other and all, but I'm Hanta Sero. Nice to meet ya." Sero exclaimed as he offered Izuku a handshake. The greenette graciously takes it until they hear the nasally voice from the shortest boy in the class.
"Hey guys." He points to the girls' locker room door that was open a small crack. "What do you say we spy on the girls while they're busy changing. At long last I can get to see the girls naked, ohhh, all those big boobs and glorious butts will be a feast for the eyes!" He drooled as he fantasized about his female classmates.
Before anyone could reprimand him, Izuku transformed into Dumuren form and closed the locker room door as Katsuki made explosions to propel himself to Mineta and violently yanked him by his collar. The dwarf-sized rat was about to retort until he saw the scariest death glares on Izuku and Katsuki's faces. They spoke of hell as the former's eyes glowed purple and his wings were spread wide while the latter's hands sparked explosions one after another. They saw how the perverted boy was trying to touch one of the girls inappropriately during the test but wasn't able to since either Izuku or Katsuki would catch him in the act and stop him.
"Go ahead and try it, you perverted sh*t stain! Me and Deku have been keeping an eye on you since you've been preying on the girls, so this may be a good excuse of blowing your fucking head off!" Katsuki growled out loud as the explosions got louder and larger as Mineta flinched and had large tears enter his eyes.
"Peek at the girls, do anything bad to them, or make them feel uncomfortable ever again, and we'll burn you so bad that you can't even look at yourself in the mirror." Izuku snarled as his sharp teeth were bared while the other boys stared at the two in shock and fear. These two may as well be the scariest of all their classmates. They've already proven they're some of the best physical and strongest boys in their class, not even Tenya was going to interfere with them as he knows first hand how terrifying they can be.
"Now, get your head out of your disgusting thoughts and we'll be nice enough to let this incident go since it's the first day at U.A. High. Got it?" Katsuki shouted as Mineta nodded his head vigorously and the angry blonde lets him go. He cowardly ran inside the boys locker room as Izuku turned back into human and looked at Katsuki in annoyance. Having to deal with a disgusting pervert should not happen on the first day!
The two headed inside and walked to their lockers tiredly as the other boys shook off the incident to not provoke either male any further and hurried to get changed. It took them several minutes to finish as they met up with the girls, who secretly sent Izuku and Katsuki looks of gratitude. A dark purple-haired girl with long earphone jacks attached to the ends of her ears held up her right hand with one of her fingers twirling her right ear jack. The two boys looked at each other and theorized that her Quirk had to do with something on keen hearing. They then gave the six girls a thumbs-up which caused them to smile.
Everyone walked back to their classroom with Aizawa standing in front of the classroom and the room's desk as he tiredly looked at the kids. His eyes flashed red and his scarf floated, scaring the kids who hurriedly took their seats and sat down. Their teacher threatened expulsion for being last in the test, they did not want to test his patience on not being ready for whatever he wants next!
"Now that's settled. We'll do the brief introductions and I'll let you go for the rest of the day. We'll go in seat order so Aoyama, you're up first. Name, Quirk, and something about yourself. Don't take too much time or else." Aizawa explained as he ordered, the French blonde hurriedly got up and moved to the front desk. He got up on stage and did a flashy pose with 'sparkles' floating around him.
"Why hello everyone! I'm Yuga Aoyama, my beautiful Quirk is Navel Laser. My precious belt allows me to shoot marvellous beams from my stomach as its power shines! I aspire to be a dazzling hero and that won't be too hard with my abilities. I can't wait to work with you all." He finished with another pose as everyone just looks bored and overall confused with his introduction. Aizawa didn't seem to care at all as he called the student behind Aoyama to go next. The peppy Ashido pretty much skipped her way onto stage.
"Hey guys, Mina Ashido here! My Quirk is Acid where I can manipulate it in any part of my body but I have a limit on how high I can use its potency and viscosity. As a result, I have this pink skin pigment, and I love breakdancing!" She exclaimed excitedly as she flashed a happy smile and did a quick twirl. Everyone's mood lifted well from the French boy's speech.
"My name is Tsuyu Asui, but please call me Tsu if you'd like. My Quirk is pretty much self-explanatory as I have the abilities of a frog. One thing about myself is that I love swimming, Ribbit." The cute frog girl croaked as the students' mood is once again lifted.
"Hello, my name is Tenya Iida. My Quirk is called Engine: the engines in my leg allow me to go into different gears for different speeds in various situations. I don't have anything to say about myself but I am honored to be here and I can't wait to work with all as U.A. students." The glasses boy bowed deeply, almost hitting his head on the desk. He seems… strict and spirited in a way. Aizawa tells him to calm down as the last student in row one goes up.
"Hey, I'm Ochaco Uraraka. My Quirk is Zero Gravity: I can remove the gravity from an object or person whenever I touch them. I can give back their gravity when I press my fingers again. Something about myself is that I love making Mochi as it's my favorite food." Izuku and Katsuki looked at each other as she went back to her seat in a bright mood. Maybe they can invite her to one of their houses to make food for each others' families. The first person in second column two went up, the blond male with the bulky tail.
"My name is Mashirao Ojiro. My Quirk is self-explanatory like Tsu's. It's just a tail, but it's great for fighting and I do a lot of martial arts training. So if anyone wants to spar, I'd be happy to be your partner." He goes back to his seat as several students raise their hands slightly to show they'd like to train sometime.
"Hey everyone, Denki Kaminari in the house! My Quirk is Electrification. I can discharge large amounts of electricity from my body, but I can't use too much or else I'll fry my brain. I like to play video games and I can't wait to get along with everyone." Kaminari said excitedly as he went back to his seat. He high fives Kirishima who goes up next.
"Hey, what's up guys? Name's Eijiro Kirishima! My power's Hardening, I can turn my skin into hard rock basically so I'm a pretty heavy hitter. My hobby is working out and I love anyone with a manly spirit!" He hardened his fists and banged them together again as he bared a sharp smile.
"Rikido Sato, my Quirk is Sugar Rush. After eating some sugar I get a massive power-up, my hobby is baking. I can bake cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other sweets, so if anyone has any favorites I'm more than happy to make them." The last boy in row two shyly goes up but instead of talking, he did sign language. Almost no one could understand what he was signing so Aizawa did it for him.
"His name is Koji Koda. His Quirk is called Anivoice where he can talk to animals and they can do his every whim and desire. One thing about himself is that he likes nature walks and he loves to look after the woodland animals. He also has a pet rabbit." Koda bows to Aizawa who nods as he walks back to his seat as the tallest male in the class from column three goes up.
"My name is Mezo Shoji and my Quirk is Dupli-Arms. I can manipulate the tips of my arm tentacles into body parts but I can only do eyes, ears, and hands at the moment." He demonstrated as he lifted his left hand to make the tentacles turn into a hand and an eye. Several students either flinched or were amazed by the display. "I don't really have anything to say about myself but I'd like to try to work together with everyone here."
"Kyoka Jiro. These earphone jacks of mine are my Quirk, I can generate my heartbeat into sound waves and can give you a deadly earache if I wanted to give you one. My hobbies are music and rock bands." The punk-rock girl said as she twirled her earphone jack around her ear again as she marched back to her seat.
"Hello everyone, my name is Hanta Sero! My Quirk is called Tape and that's self-explanatory. I can shoot sticky tape from my elbows and one thing about myself is that I like to eat healthy foods and if you want a specific food for anything, I'm your guy for the job." He pointed at himself enthusiastically before jogging down to his seat as an edgy bird head boy went up.
"My name is Fumikage Tokoyami. My Quirk is Dark Shadow," a being of dark energy that took the form of a bird head with yellow glowing eyes emerging from his back as they wave to everyone. "This beast of darkness is mine to command and my hobby is exploring the pits of hell." This left everyone glancing at him in confusion as he walked back calmly. The beast retracted back into his body as the red and white haired boy went up as he glanced at Izuku once more before going to the desk.
"Shoto Todoroki. My Quirk is Half-Cold, Half-Hot. My right side is ice and right is fire. I don't have any hobbies." And with that, he walks back to his seat without much going on. Everyone doesn't know what to go on with that as the invisible girl went up to bring up everyone's mood once more.
"Hey, hey, I'm Toru Hagakure but you guys can call me Toru if you want. My Quirk is also self-explanatory as I'm… invisible. I love to hang out with everyone and I can't wait to get along with the rest of you! " She cheerfully stated as she also skipped back to her seat. Katsuki then walked to center stage.
"Katsuki Bakugo. Quirk: Explosion. I secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from my palms and then denote them at will." He made a small demonstration as sparks formed in his right hand. "My hobbies are mountain climbing, volleyball, and practicing krav maga and karate. Also, I have a habit of giving people nicknames so if you want me to call you by your actual name, you need to win my respect first. Because why be a hero if you're not giving it your all!"
He pounded his fist with his other open hand as an explosion popped from it before walking back to his seat. Everyone was taken aback by his last sentences but they all smiled, motivated as he seems to like those who were a challenge. They'll prove to him they're worthy of being a hero! Izuku chuckled softly as Katsuki softly nudged him as he went up. Everyone beamed from seeing the greenette walk up as he introduced himself.
"Hello, I'm Izuku Midoriya. My Quirk is called Dumuren Shifter, I can turn into a mythical creature called a Dumuren and I have most of their abilities. My hobbies are also volleyball, practicing taekwondo and muay thai, and I love to analyze Quirks. So if any of you guys need some pointers, I'm more than happy to help. I look forward to working with you all." As he bowed politely and was about to go back to his seat when Ashido shouted.
"Wait, can you transform into your Dumuren form again?" Izuku tried to decline gently until everyone began begging him to transform one more time.
"Come on, just one more time?" Sero asked.
"Yeah, just one more." Kaminari and Kirishima also asked him. Tenya was about to tell everyone to let the next person go but Ochaco stopped him. The exhilarant students were urging the greenette to shapeshift as he looked at Aizawa who merely shrugged. Without much argument, Izuku took off his shoes, stepped back from the desk, and jumped into the air where he immediately transformed into his Dumuren form. A loud roar came from his mouth, wings appeared from his back, his head turned into a cheetah's, his hands and feet turned into paws, and his long tail sprouted from his rear end. He landed on the desk on all fours as everyone exclaimed in excitement.
Izuku shook his head as his large bat ears and siren-like fins flapped before looking at the class with glowing green eyes. His wings spread wide as they almost touched the sides of the classroom. Ochaco, Ashido, and some of the girls squealed in excitement as the boys marvelled at the now transformed Dumuren. The only ones who didn't show any amazement were Katsuki, who smirked before giggling silently as he bowed his head down on his desk, and Shoto, who looked at Izuku as though he's the ultimate prize.
Deciding he was done showing off, Izuku wrapped his tail around his shoes and flapped his wings once before turning back into human form as he landed in front of his seat. While putting his shoes back on Katsuki turned to him and muttered 'show off' before they playfully tried to grab at each other's hands. The second to last student to go up was the purple pervert as he flashed a pose and smirked at the girls who ignored him annoyingly.
"Hey there ladies, Minoru Mineta. My Quirk is Pop Off as these sticky balls of mine can stick to any surface except me. What I love the most are hot girls and women heroes, especially those wi-" He began to drool slightly as his hands were beginning to make grabbing motions until he caught sight of Katsuki's hands smoking and Izuku's eyes glowing. He can also feel Aizawa's piercing glare as he can see pieces of his scarf floating around his head. Remembering what happened at the locker rooms, he decided to end his introduction before the two scariest boys tried to tear him apart right then and there. Everyone glared at the gross pervert as he shrunk from their disgusted gazes, especially said scariest boys. Luckily, the last student in the classroom goes up and clears her throat loudly as she gathers everyone's attention.
"Hello everyone, my name is Momo Yaoyorozu. My Quirk is Creation, I can make any non-living object as long as I can understand their molecular structure. I don't have anything to say about myself but I hope to work well with everyone and become pro heroes." She bows politely as well as everyone took interest in her introduction. And with that, everyone had introduced themselves as their teacher went up to the desk.
"Alright, thanks for the intros and use the remaining time of class to get along and you all can go home for the rest of the day. Welcome to U.A. High, don't disappoint me kids." He said with a smile as his students shivered. Aizawa is so scary sometimes. After their teacher leaves the room and they have the last ten minutes until the bell rings to let the students go home, everyone got around Izuku and Katsuki's desks. Unlike middle school where everyone wanted to be their friend just for their reputation, they can tell their new classmates are genuinely curious about them and want to get to know them better.
"Your powers are so cool, especially yours Midori!" Ashido exclaimed as she got in his face again as he leaned back slightly.
"Yeah, what other kind of abilities of the dumuren can you use?" Kaminari asked as more and more students began to crowd around Izuku. Once again, Katsuki has his best friend's back as he gently pushes everyone back.
"Hey, how's he going to answer your shitty questions if you crowd him like that." He sat back on his seat annoyingly as Kirishima and Kaminari came near him.
"You know Bakubro, you seem to know Midobro well."
"Well duh, me and Deku are childhood best friends. We've practically known each other since we were babies."
"Yeah, Kacchan's mom and mine were really close friends with each other when they were young, so it's kinda given." Izuku explained.
"Deku? Kacchan?" Ochaco asked about the nicknames since the two have been calling each other since they met.
"Nicknames from when we were kids. If anyone thinks I'm calling Izuku 'Deku' as an insult it's short for Dekiru. I'd never call my best friend useless. For clarification, it's Dekiru but it's Deku for short, anyone got a problem with it?" Katsuki folded his arms and glared at anyone who tried to question him.
"Nope, and I kinda like Deku being short for Dekiru though. And childhood best friend nicknames are so cute." Ochaco exclaimed as she, Hagakure, and Ashido squealed. Izuku and Katsuki looked at one another for like the eighth time, completely weirded out. So this is what it's like having actual female friends for once.
"I'm curious about something, how did your clothes sew itself back together?" Ojiro comes up to Izuku as he turns his attention to him.
"Oh yeah, your gym outfit had tears in them from popping out your wings, and this time when you transformed. Honestly it's kinda freaky how it fixed itself, like an alien." Ashido commented and Izuku cocked an eyebrow at her. Alien, this coming from her?
"I'm not going to lie, it is a little bit freaky. Auntie Mitsuki or Kacchan's mother is a fashion designer so she works with a lot of fabrics. When my Quirk came and that problem happened, she made a special thread that can reattach itself when in contact with heat. From that point on, she decided to make the rest of my clothing and I recommended the school her fabric so I wouldn't go through the trouble of getting new uniforms every time I tear my outfit." Izuku explained.
"Wait, Mitsuki? Like Mitsuki Bakugo." Sero widened his eyes before turning back to Katsuki. "Dude, my mom knows your mother. She said that she met a feisty blonde woman who knows her way with fabrics and clothing, said she was practically an Einstein in the world of fashion."
"Yeah, Mom definitely knows a lot about that crap. Annoying as it is and I'm completely not interested in it, she uses me, Dad, and Deku as models for outfits. It sucks but she's a pro at what she does, also if you girls or anyone who's interested in that shit, you can come over to my house. She has a fashion studio, and me and Deku said we like to play volleyball. Mom craves the sport too, so we have a net in the backyard to play." Katsuki blushed slightly at Sero's praise until he offered the idea of friendly hangouts at his place. Said girls beamed at the idea of working with a literal fashion queen while some of the girls and boys were excited at playing volleyball at a new friend's house. Mineta wanted to say something in order to see the girls in their undergarments or sports clothing but remembered what Katsuki would do to him if he tried, so he was actually smart enough to keep quiet.
Everyone was talking about the two until it transitioned to talking about sports, clothing, and other hobbies that several of them have forgotten to mention during their introductions. Izuku and Katsuki had big, wide smiles on their faces, it was nice being able to get along with people who aren't trying to be your friend solely for your reputation or Quirk.
While no one was looking, All Might, in skinny form, was secretly peeking into the classroom and saw Izuku and Katsuki talking with their classmates. The happy looks on their faces, the wide smiles, the excited glow in their eyes, and the joyful laughter said everything. All Might smiled as well, he knew things were going to be looking up for the two of them. U.A. High was the place for them to gain that happiness and can't wait for what things the two would show the next day, where the real fun begins.
Unfortunately, the fun had to end when the bell rang and everyone begrudgingly went back to their seats to get their things. However, they all broke out into small groups to talk as they walked home. Izuku and Katsuki were accompanied by Ochaco and Tenya who actually use the same train they use to go home. Peeking at the two boys, Ochaco asked them a question.
"Hey, is it okay if I can call you both by your nicknames too?" When the two boys looked at her, she explained. "It's just really adorable how you two call each other by those childhood nicknames, and it seems like fun."
Izuku and Katsuki looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders.
"Sure, go ahead Pink Cheeks." Katsuki smiled while Ochaco's face illuminated with light and happiness. The two boys kinda wanted to take a picture of her face and save that image, so that's really what it's like to have female friends. Their thoughts are broken when Tenya chopped the air, almost hitting Ochaco on the head.
"It's Uraraka, Bakugo! I get that you want her to earn your respect in order to call her that, but can't you at least call her by her honorific name once in a while." Katsuki scoffed and gave Tenya a face that only a delinquent could have.
"I told everyone that if they want me to call them by their actual name, they need to earn my respect, Sonic!"
"Sonic! it's Tenya Iida, you heroic delinquent!"
"It's Sonic for now, specs!"
"Can't you at least call me Iida!"
"Sonic!"
Izuku and Ochaco eyed each other as the ash blonde and dark blue haired boys continued with their childish bickering. The girl maneuvered her way next to Izuku so she wouldn't get hit in the head by the Engine user or spat in the face by the Explosion user. She and the greenette sighed but decided today was a good day as they made new friends despite the craziness that happened.
Unbeknownst to them all, Shoto is walking behind them until he stops and looks at Izuku as he continues staring at the bickering boys in exasperation with the girl. Shoto wasn't interested in making friends or doing anything that would slow him down while he's at U.A.. He was going to be a strong hero with only his mom's gift, he's going to be a hero without that disgrace of a father's power of destructive, harmful fire. He'll be a hero that'll even outrank All Might, and he'll do it by beating the creature that's remained the undefeated champion. And he'll do it by taking out Izuku Midoriya: the Dumuren Shifter.
He continues staring at the greenette until he and his friends make a right turn once they exit the entrance. How annoying to have to take the same path back home as the one he'll defeat in the future. Shoto started moving his feet as he remembered that his father will be back home sooner than usual, and he threatened to make his training much harsher if he didn't get back home on time. Shoto signed, can't the first day of U.A. be better when you don't have to go home to a monster who only sees you as a tool for his own ambition?
Reluctantly shrugging his annoyance for the day, he drags his feet towards the train station where he sees the group of four enter a train. He blends in with the crowd to go into another train car in order to avoid being seen as he feels his phone buzz in his pocket. His older sister Fuyumi texted him that their father is going to be back in ten minutes. Well on the bright side, the train to his house is around six minutes and he can get back home in a quick jog in three. At least his training won't be extended and ten times more intense than usual as he feels the train begin to take off.
After the train slows down to his stop, Shoto immediately breaks into a run. He either dodges or pushes people out of his way in order to make it back home in time to begin training. It takes a few turns left and right until he makes it back home. It was a traditional Japanese-styled house with some trees and a small garden surrounding it as Shoto jogs his way to the sliding front door. He takes out his house key but as he was about to put it into the hole, the door immediately opens. Shoto looks up to see his sister Fuyumi looking at him with worry and fear. She ushers him inside quickly as she closes the door and locks it again as her younger brother makes his way into his room to change his clothing for training.
He puts on a regular white sleeveless shirt and some baggy training pants as he catches his breath and then hears a car slowly pulling into the driveway. He heads his way to the training room as quickly as he can before his old man does as he hears his sister greet their father. He coldly brushes her off as he makes his way inside, luckily Shoto makes it to the room in time as his father opens the just closed door. Shoto stares at his father with a bored look as he looks at him with a disgruntled look.
"Good, you're ready to begin your training. Wait for me to get ready, in the meantime get on the treadmill and start some light jogging." He ordered as he slammed the door shut and made his way to his room. Shoto rolls his eyes annoyingly as he slightly regrets running his way home. Nonetheless, he turns on the treadmill and sets it to fast setting. The machine picks up speed as Shoto begins jogging lightly.
As he jogs, he thinks about his first day at U.A., so far not bad and he's thankful that no one bothered him today. The last thing he needed on the first day was to have the same pesky classmates pestering him about his father and what it's like having a "hero" as a father. With Endeavor, it sucked ten fold as he began jogging faster unintentionally. How he "made" him and is running his life at every twist and turn, every decision, every dream he had, everything he wanted he decided for Shoto. His life was his, not that monster's!
He continues picking up speed and gets lost in his anger that he doesn't notice the door sliding open to reveal Endeavor in his training clothes. He shouts for Shoto to stop running, but when he doesn't he walks up to him and violently jams his finger onto the button. It was enough to snap Shoto out of his thoughts as he felt the machine slow down and he reluctantly got off. His father scowls at him before ordering him to get ready as they engaged in hand-to-hand combat. It was like this everyday: learn some martial arts and then onto Quirk training, the hell part of the day. It was where Shoto refused to use his fire in order to spite his father, he'll become his own hero where he'll use only his mother's Quirk, not this abomination.
The day continues until the afternoon where Shoto gets onto one knee in exhaustion as beads of sweat rolled off his forehead and his clothes clung to his skin. Endeavor looks at him disappointedly and yells at him to leave, have dinner, and then go to bed. Shoto angrily picks himself off the floor and storms his way to the door until he hears his father call out to him.
"Shoto, I heard that shapeshifting boy from the sludge incident is attending U.A.. Is it true?" Shoto doesn't answer for some time before he turns to him.
"Yes." He answered. Endeavor's eyes narrow at his son's blunt, one-worded answer but continues nonetheless.
"I also heard that he got the highest number of points on the entrance exam. He along with another boy were able to beat All Might's long-record score, but I expected the shapeshifter to get the top spot. I don't give a damn about mythology, but I did some research about the Dumuren beasts. That boy, Izuku Midoriya as they call him, can turn into one. He will be a good challenge for you, after all, they're basically the animal version of All Might, the strongest. If you beat the Undefeated Myth, that'll mean you're one step closer to beating All Might, make sure you beat him. Maybe put him down since Dumuren are seemingly unkillable too, and you'll become the first hero in all of history to beat a Dumuren." Shoto leaves as he doesn't want to hear anymore nonsense spewing out of his father's mouth. It was bothersome, he was tired and hungry and he wants to get to bed to start tomorrow.
He takes a bath that he enjoys at the moment as he takes in the heat to ease his nerves and calm his mind. After that, he goes to the family room to eat cold soba, his favorite food, with his sister as his father took his food to eat in his office. Fuyumi attempted to talk with Shoto about his day but he kept giving her either one-worded answers or short sentences. He ate his dinner quickly in order to get some sleep afterwards, so he thanked his sister for the soba and took his bowl to the kitchen sink. His sister sighed sadly, even if she was closer to Shoto than almost anyone else in the family, barring his mother, he's still so distant. She looked at her dinner in melancholy as she now doesn't have the appetite to eat.
Placing his bowl in the sink before leaving to his room, but not before wishing his sister goodnight. Shoto opened the door to his room before lifting the blanket from his futon to place himself in the sheets. He lays his head on the pillow while looking outside his window on his right. The sky was so beautiful with the bright, white stars shining in the dark blue as flashes of purple and pink swirl in the night. It's sights like those that make him calm down from days that are so distraught and filled with nothing but horrible memories. Additionally, it's sights like those that give him good memories of his childhood where things were slightly decent enough that he wouldn't call his past a total nightmare. That, and there was something else that made life worthwhile.
He sits up from his futon and reaches towards the small bookshelf on his left as he uses his left arm to grab a book. On the cover was a childish drawing of a Dumuren roaring in the sky while the townspeople cheered around it. And inside were pages telling the basic things one would need to know about Dumuren, like their titles. The book was torn, frail, and old, the corners were beginning to tear off as the pages inside were rather wrinkled. The color within them was also fading since it's a very old book, but it was a book that Shoto treasured a lot. It was a book that his mother got for him when he first started his harsh training with Endeavor.
She was sent to shop for books to further Shoto's "education", thus she couldn't get any of the children's books that should've suited Shoto's age at the time. Just as she was about to leave in order to pay for the books, one in particular caught her eye. It was a book depicting Dumuren, their deeds to the people and to the world, how they're the strongest creature in all the land, and what makes them so captivating. Shoto's mother knew that the red and white haired boy heavily favored All Might over Endeavor, but wasn't allowed to watch or read things related to the Number One Hero as it'd only provoke him, so they did it in secret.
However, she decided to be daring for once and put the Dumuren book in with the bag of other books with mathematics and english reading. After Shoto was done with his training, she took him to his room to read the book about Dumuren. She went over every page with him and as she read, Shoto's eyes roamed over the drawings of the mighty animal with awe. The creature is exactly like All Might, how it protects, keeps the peace, interacts with the people, and defeats any bad guy that tries to harm anyone. To the young boy and even now, he can confidently say that Dumuren were deserving of all three of their titles, and nothing can change his mind on it.
The book is one of the things that helped Shoto get through his horrendous childhood, even on his worst days, and even after his mother got sent to the hospital when she finally broke from his father's abuse, the book was a saving lifeline. However, as time went on, Shoto began to lose his fascination with All Might and Dumuren as he desired to become his own hero with only his mother's power. He put his book away in a place where only he and his mother knew that it would be safe and out of Endeavor's hands, and never took it out for some time.
It was only after seeing Midoriya transform into a Dumuren that he felt something awakened within him. It was just like when he first saw All Might on tv beating up villains and when he first read the Dumuren book: awe, admiration, and a sense of wonder. He knew that he was staring at Midoriya throughout the first day, but he couldn't help it whenever he turned into his Dumuren form. Sure, he knew Midoriya wasn't a real Dumuren, but he still couldn't help but feel the emotions stated before reappearing inside him every time he did so. After the sludge incident, Shoto finally took out the book that he hadn't looked at in a while and went over it several times.
Shoto held the book with nostalgia as a tiny smile appeared on his lips, it was days like those that he wished he had his entire life. He supposes that the first day at U.A. High wasn't completely annoying and tiresome. He goes over the book with care as he flipped page after page, remembering all the memories he had with his mother, and the times where he took out the book when he wanted to read. After reaching the last page and closing the book completely, Shoto placed it back into its hiding spot before tucking himself back into bed to finally sleep. He gazed at the window to his right and stared at the night sky, determined to handle whatever comes at him tomorrow.
