Chapter 3: UA Begins
Recovery Girl was right. This last week was hell.
The room was in shock when I introduced myself, especially since I was also introduced right after THE ALL MIGHT.
But, even more so, the papers and reporters were going crazy.
Apparently, Amaterasu is making her big debut in Japan! I rolled my eyes.
I've had cameras outside my apartment 24-7.
Today has been especially hectic since they know I actually have to leave to go to UA since school is starting...
I'm sure my neighbors all hate me.
Good thing I can fly. Hopefully I'll get out of here without being noticed.
I snuck out of the window in my bedroom since it's on the second floor and headed towards the school.
My hero costume is all white, but since that would draw too much attention, I wore black leggings and a black long sleeve fitted crop-top with my black sandals.
Stealthy.
I stopped on a roof near the entrance. The school has literally nothing to protect itself from transportation or flying quirks.
I'll talk to Nezu about that later, but for now, I'll fly over the wall to avoid the crowds. Since All Might is here, the press is unimaginable.
I observed the scene... These poor kids, having to navigate through all this.
Just then, I looked down and saw a pink girl with horns and a million dollar smile talking to some people with cameras. "I am just so excited to start at UA!!!"
She had captivated almost half a dozen reporters.... so I guess not all these kids are drowning from the attention.
I recognized her from my class roster. Since I'll be helping every class, while focusing on 1A, I figured I'd get a head start by studying everyone's names before school began. Mina Ashido.
I was going to avoid the publicity, but being the great person I am, I dropped down to escort Mina pass the crowds.
Eraser Head would be pissed if she was late on the first day.
Eraser Head.
It had been awhile since I had seen him, and he avoided me at the staff meeting... Even though he was a third year when I was a first year, we still knew each other.
I also had been around him during my internships and provisional hero work studies. For awhile, I had thought that maybe he was even interested in me...
Present Mic had gave me a huge hug last week, but Aizawa walked right by.
I flew down and put my arm around her. "Excuse me everyone. I'll need to get this young lady to class now."
She looked up at me and stammered, "A-A-Amaterasu."
I gave a close-eyed smile and began to walk her out of the crowd. I ignored all the questions being shouted in my face along with the flashing lights.
My anxiety was ramping up... I was used to this in America, but after my hiatus I was freaking out.
When we got passed the annoyances, I let go of Mina. "Be careful around those cameras... it's not all what it seems." I smiled and looked down at her.
She looked up at me and gawked... Geez this is going to be hard to get used to.
"Shall we get to class?"
"No way!!! Are you going to be teaching us!?" she exclaimed.
I giggled. She's adorable. "As your quirk development coach, yes. 1A will be my main focus, but I'll help out everyone at the school."
She eeped with excitement as I opened the door to 1A, and she rushed in to meet her classmates. I looked around.
Interesting group... A lot of promising students.
A boy with green hair caught my eye. All Might's protege.
All Might and I spoke for hours after the staff meeting and even met up one other time before school started. He told me all about his green-haired muse.
Izuku Midoriya. I laughed to myself. Not what I was expecting, but he's got a heroic smile.
I heard Aizawa clear his throat, and the chatter stopped.
All the students quickly took their seats, and I stayed where I was, leaning up against the wall, fighting the urge to take a seat.
I'm a teacher now....
"I'm Mr. Aizawa. Your homeroom teacher. We're starting with a physical test. Put on your gym clothes and meet me outside." With that, Aizawa exited the classroom. The students started to scramble.
He sure knows how to make an impression.
When everyone was gathered outside, I took my place behind the pack of hopefuls.
I was lingering like some sort of sketchy stalker... but I didn't want to draw any attention.
I wonder what these kids are capable of?
"The lowest ranking student will be expelled from UA. Let's begin."
My mouth dropped. And I saw Aizawa sneak a look over to me and chuckle.
He acknowledged me? For the first time... and he was laughing? I smiled to myself.
All Might approached me. "Did you come to watch your green-haired friend?" I asked.
"I'm worried about Shota. I think he's going to judge Young Midoriya too harshly." I nodded, not quite understanding why that would be.
The practical exam began. There were clear front runners.
Boys, Katsuki Bakugo. Shoto Todoroki. Tenya Ida.
For the girls, Ochaco Uraraka and Momo Yoayorozu caught my eye.
But Midoriya.... he hadn't used his quirk at all yet.
Was he trying to be mysterious? If so, not a good strategy.
On the other hand, there's a fire user and an ice user! Two students I can definitely mentor since I can use both with my quirk.
And the electricity user, might need to avoid him, I felt a sweat drop on my forehead.
I hate electricity quirks....
It was the final test of the day, and Midoriya's turn. His last chance to shine.
Just as he was about to throw the ball, it dropped just in front of him.
"What happened!?" Young Midoriya cried.
"I erased your quirk." Aizawa interjected.
"It's clear you're unable to control your quirk. It's not compatible to your body. I wasn't going to just let you break your arm for the sake of this test..."
"You're a liability, and to be honest, not fit to be at UA with your lack of control." He finished.
Ouch... Even I cringed at that.
All Might and I looked at each other. All Might was right...
"What's that about?"
All Might sighed... "Shota hates showy quirks. He's a great teacher, but I knew he wouldn't have the patience to help Young Midoriya."
Just then, we turned our attention to Midoriya as he prepared to throw the ball for the second time.
It shot through the air at an alarming rate, and blew us all away!
As I looked closer, I noticed his finger had broken.... "So he concentrated all his power into his finger so his whole arm wouldn't break? Hmph. Smart kid."
I look over at All Might. He was beaming. "That's my boy!"
Bakugo started to charge Midoriya, which put me and Aizawa into hero mode.
I launched foreword to grab Bakugo, but before I got there, Aizawa caught Bakugo in his scarfy-capture-weapon.
Where can you even get something like that?
"Knock it off. Don't make me use my quirk so much. It hurts my eyes." Aizawa grumbled while putting eye drops in his eyes and releasing Bakugo.
What the hell was that about?
I looked at the fuming child... Not very tamed I see.
Just then, I realized I had blew my cover and the entire class had their eyes on me.
Before anyone was able to say something, Aizawa spoke up. "Alright. Midoriya, as impressive as that was, you still came in last. However, no one is getting expelled. I just wanted you all to get in the competitive spirit."
The students signed in relief. I think Midoriya started crying.... yeesh, kid. Suck it up.
"Before you all are dismissed, this is Amaterasu." He looked at me, "Want to introduce yourself or do I have to do everything?"
I stared at him. Contemplating. Should I put this guy in his place or set a good example?
I sighed and looked at those bright, shining, confused faces.... good example it is, I guess.
"Hey, Class. I'm Amaterasu, but you can call me y/n. I'll be your quirk development coach and specialist! I came here to check out what your made of. And I must say, I'm impressed.... I look forward to getting to know all of you." I gave my close eyed smile.
I want them to like me... I usually don't feel that way. but I do now.
The class broke out into craziness....
"Amaterasu!!?! You're a legend!" Midoriya yelled.
Manly!" Kirishima shouted.
"And what's so great about you, huh!?! You've been out of business for years!" Bakugo exploded.
"You guys give her a chance!" Mina called.
Oh my gosh. Why are they all yelling!? I might die. What is going on?!
"Quiet!" Aizawa yelled. His eyes glowing red.
"Uhhh..." I stuttered.
"W-Why don't you guys go for the day. Midoriya, go see Recovery Girl. You'll all have a big day tomorrow, and we'll get to know more of each other then." I smiled and the class began to clear.
"What the hell was that?" I mumbled as I looked at Aizawa and All Might who both had smirks on their faces.
