[Afterschool, U.A. High School, Japan]
As classes had let out nearly half an hour prior I began to leave and Momo was standing near the school's gates, seemingly waiting for me. Confirming my suspicions, she called me out as she noticed my approach cheerful tone, "Oh, Hiro! Let's go to home together~!"
I didn't hesitate to respond with a sly grin on my face accepting such an offer in a kind tone moving towards them, "Yes, my cute girlfriend."
Momo blushingly remarked my words, "Don't call me cute out of nowhere, Hiro."
*Tap*
Feeling someone near my shoulders I see Jiro and Mina appear with a cheerful grin interjecting in an upbeat tone, "How about we make it to the station together!"
I began to shake my head maintaining a confident smile I asserted in a calm tone, "I would be a fool to respond to refuse the company of two cute girls."
Both Jiro and Mina blushed. Not expecting me to call her cute out of nowhere, "You should be more careful with your words, Hoshino-san. You could cause a misunderstanding if you go around calling every girl you meet cute."
I said in in a calm tone, "I don't go around calling every girl cute, only those I genuinely believe to be charming. I prefer to speak my mind."
As for Jiro, her face was completely red as she pressed the earphone jack tips of her Quirk together and muttered cutely, "It would be best if you used polite speech until we're a bit closer…"
I continued forward with my confidence as I spoke in a confident tone broadening my smile, "Then I look forward to becoming closer to you both. Feel free to address me by my given name in the future. Preferably without the -san."
Understanding my final few words were directed at them, Mina stared back at me with a somewhat blank look as she said in a blunt tone, "I wanted to ask are you and Momo in a relationship, spill it."
Instead of contesting the matter, I gave a cheerful smile and responded in a casual tone, "Yes, she's the love of my life." I said as I hugged Momo giving her a kiss on her forehead.
Momo's face flushed red, so much so that it looked like blood would come out of I pinched her cheeks and buried he head in my chest.
I just shrugged and started walking holding Momo. As I noticed them not following, I called out to them, "Hey! Kyoka, Mina, why aren't you guys following."
*Swooosh*
*Wooosh*
Both their eyes were remarkably round. I even managed to make their heart skip a beat by calling them Mina and Kyoka which resulted in me almost getting attacked with her earphone jacks, only for my [Instinct] to kick in and avoid getting hit using [Permeation] as it passed right through me.
Blinking a bit, I asked unbothered rubbing the back of my head in a blunt tone, "A bit too much?"
Mina ever the blunt girl with a light blush nodded her head with a deadpan expression and agreed, "Just a bit yeah." And Jiro still had a red blushing face.
Fair point. And so, we finally made our way out of UA.
To be honest, I didn't expect much from my first day. Anyway, luckily, I'm already making some friends which is an upgrade from my previous school life.
But making some friends will make things easier in the future. As we kept our pace all of us chatted about our Quirks and some of our hobbies. As I explained about my Quirk, they both were baffled saying that my Quirks were a cheat.
Although, I do have to wonder who's going to replace Mineta if he is expelled. If my guess is correct, it might be Shinso as he was later introduced into hero course later by Aizawa himself later on in the show. So, it's just going to be an reveal for him. I wonder what else the future holds ahead… it's both quite scary and exciting at the same time.

[Next Day, U.A. High School, Class 1-A, Japan]
After teasing them the previous day, Hiroto wasn't too surprised when Mina and Jiro ignored him. They returned his greeting when he called out to them but made no attempt to come over to his seat when he dropped his stuff.
Instead, they say together in the next seat, Mina borrowing other's seat as the two conversed with Momo as he thought in a calm tone, 'I figured my teasing seemed to be a bit much… doesn't help my social skills hasn't improved much only crippling me to Momo and Nejire, and a few friends in I-Island.'
(a\n: you know where I am taking this to when I mentioned i-island.)
Because he ignored people, he almost even forgot the names of the previous people in his school. They did try at first, mostly girls. But being ignored or having to be glared at by Momo and sometimes Nejire didn't help too.
However, calmed down as he inhaled and exhaled checking up on his phone during this free time. Momo within the class talked to him about some topics with their usual conversation about Quirks or other topics about home.
He started texting Nejire, who as doing her work studies, about some questions about his class curriculum and exams after texting for a while till the bell rang. Which prompted them to get ready for class soon.
*DING*
With the morning bell sounding Aizawa entered the classroom looking like a man who hadn't slept in weeks. This sentiment was reinforced when he stepped up to the classroom's podium, his expression and tone tinged with exhaustion as he said, "Good, everyone's here. We'll be receiving a new student today. Try and get along."
As Mineta was not present, his seat in front of mine was empty, Aizawa mentioning that everyone was present caused a few students to gulp at the news. Fortunately, though no one celebrated as a new person entered the room making Hiro smile and recognizing him using [Observe] on him.
[Hitoshi Shinso Lv.5 UA Student]
Description: Hitoshi Shinso is a student at U.A. High School, attending Class 1-C of the Department of General Education before being transferred into Class 1-A of the school's Hero Course replacing Mineta for his perverted behavior. Shinso is both happy and nervous to finally have a chance to shine with his Quirk [Brainwashing].
From his level I can easily say that he hadn't really practiced too much of his Quirk, due to having an inferiority complex about using his quirk, just like in canon.
Following inside the classroom was a much taller boy with messy indigo hair and half-lidded, seemingly exhausted eyes raised his hand and said in a stoic tone, "Hi. My name is Hitoshi Shinso. I was previously in Classroom 1-C of the General Studies Department. Due to your classmate… personality it seems I'll be a member of the Hero Department from now on."
Noticing the empty seat in front of Hiro, he sighed taking a seat that once belonged to Mineta to Shinso. Taking his seat Aizawa got on with homeroom, providing an overview of UA's facilities and explaining who to contact if they were having trouble at home or with UA's admittedly taxing curriculum.
Once the formalities were out of the way, he pulled out his sleeping bag and gave everyone free time until their first period of state-mandated classes, English Studies. With everyone having free time Ren was the first to greet his acquaintance in a calm tone, "Nice to meet you Shinso. I'm Hiroto Hoshino."
Hearing this, the class listened, seeing the two interact as he spoke in a stoic tone, eyeing him weirdly, "Hello, Hoshino-san. I really didn't expect to be suddenly selected to be in the Hero Course just the next day. Otherwise, everything is fine."
After me Midoriya who sat in front of Shinso introduced himself too, to which Shinso replied with, "Don't mind me asking, but weren't you the guy that cleaned the beach from the trash?" to Midoriya
Gesturing to his attempt to clean the trash of the Beach Park, Midoriya nodded his head as he started, explaining himself in a nervous and stuttering tone, "Y-Yup. I-i-i did it as training practice to gain some s-s-strength."
Shinso merely smirked, laughing lightly, causing Midoriya to back down to his seat. And he turned to me sitting behind to him in a stoic tone, "Haha! Midoriya-kun, Hoshino-san, you guys must have been so lucky to be blessed with an awesome Quirk in your whole life." After hearing this I just shrugged my shoulders.
But to his and everyone's surprise, Midoriya bluntly responded to his prior status of being Quirkless a year ago, "N-n-n-not really. I-i was Q-q-quirkless for the last 14 years. I-it was only just recently, a year ago, that I manifested one. A late bloomer."
This made Shinso blink a bit surprised as he muttered, knowing about Midoriya who as in top 10 rankings, as he said in a surprised tone, "Really now? Well, that sounds like an interesting tale. Anything else I should know about this class?"
Listening to their conversation, everyone except Aizawa sweatdrops hearing the conversation. And being kids, their curiosity is peaked listening to one of the top 10 student on the scoreboard tale.
When free time was over the classes finally resumed normally. Though UA was the number one School of Heroics, the first half of the day was set aside for general studies such as Math, English, Japanese, and Art History.
After that students of the Department of Heroics would have an hour for lunch before attending classes that would prepare them to become heroes, a seemingly random mix of theoretical and practical lessons colloquially referred to as Foundational Hero Studies…
