The lounge of the 1-A dorm was abuzz with energy. Most of the students had settled in, their personalities already sparking small conversations and dynamics. Mina Ashido, ever the energetic one, clapped her hands together to get everyone's attention.
Mina {grinning brightly}: "Okay, everyone! We're living together now, so let's do introductions! Name, likes, dislikes, and your Quirk! It'll be fun!"
The room filled with murmurs of agreement, though some were less enthusiastic than others. Izuku sat in a corner, quietly observing, his sapphire-blue eyes sharp as ever. He said nothing but nodded slightly when Mina's gaze lingered on him.
Mina {pointing at herself excitedly}: "I'll go first! I'm Mina Ashido! I like dancing, shopping, and aliens! I hate boring people. My Quirk is Acid! I can secrete acid from my body, and I can control how strong or weak it is. Pretty cool, right?"
The introductions began making their way around the room, each student sharing a bit about themselves.
Yuga Aoyama {dramatically posing}: "Je m'appelle Yuga Aoyama! I adore fashion and sparkle! I detest plain things. My Quirk is Navel Laser. Très magnifique!"
Tsuyu Asui {calmly}: "I’m Tsuyu Asui. Call me Tsu. I like rainy days, and I don't like people who lie. My Quirk is Frog. I can do anything a frog can, ribbit."
Tenya Iida {adjusting his glasses, standing rigidly}: "I am Tenya Iida! I like structure, rules, and organization. I dislike chaos. My Quirk is Engine. I have engines in my legs that make me run incredibly fast."
Nezuko Kamado {smiling shyly, writing quickly in her notebook}: Nezuko Kamado. I like sweets and flowers. I don’t like loud noises or bitter things. My Quirk is Flame Blood. My blood ignites when it touches air. I can also heal myself and regenerate my blood quickly.
Her neat handwriting made it easy for everyone to read. She smiled brightly after showing her notebook, earning some impressed nods.
The introductions continued, each student sharing their quirks and interests.
Katsuki Bakugo {gruffly, glaring at everyone}: "Katsuki Bakugo. I like winning. I hate everything else. My Quirk is Explosion. Got a problem with that?"
Ochaco Uraraka {cheerfully}: "I'm Ochaco Uraraka! I like cute things and helping my family. I don't like being poor. My Quirk is Zero Gravity! I can make anything I touch float!"
Shoto Todoroki {calmly, but distant}: "Shoto Todoroki. I don't have strong likes or dislikes. My Quirk is Half-Cold, Half-Hot. I can create ice on one side of my body and fire on the other."
Finally, all eyes turned to Izuku, the only one who had yet to speak. He stood up slowly. His gaze swept across the room as he began, his voice calm and firm.
Izuku {bluntly}: "My name is Izuku Midoriya. I enjoy reading, writing, and creating. I dislike inefficiency, unnecessary noise, and ignorance."
There was a brief pause as he let his words sink in. He continues.
Izuku {matter-of-factly}: "My Quirk is called All For One. It allows me to steal Quirks from others through physical touch and use them for myself. I can also transfer the stolen Quirks to someone else, should I choose to. Additionally, I can wield multiple Quirks simultaneously."
The room went silent. For a moment, it seemed as though the air had been sucked out of the space. The implications of his words hung heavy over everyone. Awe, fear, worry, and even anger flashed across various faces.
Denki Kaminari {nervously chuckling}: "Uh... that's... kinda intense."
Mina Ashido {wide-eyed}: "Wait, you can just... take Quirks? Like, for real?!"
Izuku nodded, completely unfazed by their reactions.
Tsuyu Asui {blinking, her blunt tone softening in surprise}: "That's a scary power, ribbit. But you're not using it on us... right?"
Izuku's piercing gaze turned toward her, his expression unreadable.
Izuku {flatly}: "I have no intention of using it on anyone here. Unless provoked."
His bluntness caused a ripple of unease, but before anyone else could respond, Tenya Iida stood abruptly, his voice filled with righteous indignation.
Iida {pointing at Izuku}: "That Quirk is dangerous! How can you be trusted with such power? It's—it's villainous!"
Izuku's gaze didn't waver. He folded his arms, his voice cold and calm.
Izuku {bluntly}: "Trust is irrelevant to me. Your opinion of my Quirk changes nothing."
Katsuki Bakugo growled, his hands sparking as he stepped forward.
Bakugo {snarling}: "Tch! So you just steal other people's quirks like some wannabe villain, huh!? Who the hell do you think you are?!"
Izuku turned his sharp eyes toward Bakugo.
Izuku {coldly}: "I think I'm someone who knows how to use what’s been given to me. Unlike you, who lets his emotions dictate his actions."
The room went silent again, the tension thick. Even Minoru Mineta, who had been fidgeting nervously, finally spoke up.
Mineta {panicking}: "H-how do we know he's not gonna steal our quirks? This guy's scary!"
Izuku sighed softly, clearly unbothered by the accusations.
Izuku {with a shrug}: "Believe what you want. I don't care."
Nezuko, who had been quietly observing, stepped forward and tugged gently on Izuku's sleeve. When he glanced at her, she held up her notebook, showing a simple message: "I think its cool."
Izuku's cold exterior softened slightly, and he nodded once in acknowledgment.-
The group slowly dispersed, the mood tense and divided. Some students, like Ochaco and Mina, were more curious than afraid, while others, like Iida and Bakugo, were openly distrustful. Nezuko remained by Izuku's side, her quiet presence a source of calm amidst the chaos.
The chatter came to an abrupt halt as the doors swung open. Standing in the doorway was a tall, scruffy man with long, unruly black hair and a perpetually tired expression. His black outfit and the scarf wrapped around his neck gave him an imposing air, despite his casual stance. His sharp, calculating eyes scanned the room, silencing any remaining murmurs.
Aizawa {in a low, gruff voice}: "Alright, listen up. I'm Shota Aizawa, your homeroom teacher and the pro hero Eraserhead. I don't care who you are, where you came from, or what you think you're good at. You're all here to become heroes, and that means following orders."
The students exchanged quick, nervous glances. Some of them, like Tenya Iida, straightened their posture immediately, while others, like Katsuki Bakugo, simply glared. Izuku Midoriya stood quietly in the back.
Aizawa {continuing, his tone unchanging}: "Grab a gym uniform and head to the PE grounds. You have five minutes. Anyone late will regret it."
The room broke into a flurry of motion as students scrambled to follow the command. Izuku didn't hesitate for a second. Without a word, he fetched his gym uniform from his neatly organized closet, and walked toward the exit.
Mina Ashido {holding her uniform, whispering to Ochaco}: "Wow, he didn't even blink. Does anything rattle that guy?"
Ochaco Uraraka {laughing nervously}: "I guess not."
Meanwhile, Katsuki Bakugo growled as he shoved past a few classmates.
Bakugo {snarling}: "Tch. Who does that guy think he is, giving orders like he owns the place?!"
Iida {adjusting his glasses, speaking loudly}: "He's our teacher, Bakugo! Show some respect and move quickly. We only have five minutes!"
As the group rushed to get ready, Aizawa watched silently, his tired eyes narrowing slightly as they began to filter out of the dorm. His gaze briefly settled on Izuku, who was already heading out the door.
Aizawa {thinking to himself}: "Efficient. Doesn't waste time. Interesting."
Within moments, the dorm was empty, save for Aizawa, who sighed deeply before following his students out. For him, this was just the beginning of what promised to be a long day. For Class 1-A, it was a clear signal: the real training was about to begin.
