Chapter 1 : Start
"W-Wha... Huh?"
I woke up, groaning as I stretched my muscles, for some reason I feel like I've been hit by a train or something. I feel sluggish and tired. I looked around and no one was here yet. So was it really all just a lie? I blinked tiredly, noticing that this wasn't the classroom I entered in earlier.
"W-Where am I?"
I asked, looking around. Even if someone moved me, I've been known to be a pretty light sleeper, mostly keeping alert even in my sleep. There's no way I would not have woken up, especially when I've been moved to a completely different location from where I started. There's just no way I've dozed off that deep. I sat up and checked my phone for the time.
For some reason the numbers are glitched and I can't do anything to fix it. I checked my messages but for some reason there's not a single one of them. I tried to call Kacchan's number but there was no signal. At least I still have my games with me? Their data untouched. But still, now is probably not the time to waste time playing games.
I slapped myself, forcing myself awake. Now noticing a crude looking paper next to me, folded, I took it into my hands and opened it. It revealed the words, 'Orientation Info' in them. Even though its crude, hand-written by what seemed to be a child, I should probably read it, maybe it'll give me information over what happened although I highly doubt it.
I quickly skimmed through it before deciding this is more of a prank more than anything. I still stuffed it in my backpack though. The back part is clean, maybe I can use it to take notes or something.
I glanced around the room again, now more awake, I noticed that there was a camera, a pretty large one at that. Although I'm not sure why they would need one inside the classroom, especially such a big looking one but the world is a dangerous place, especially with everyone having quirks and all the like. It's probably to keep a better watch on the students and to make sure that the students know that they're being watched.
I noticed a clock in the middle of the classroom as well. It seemed to be completely stuck on 8:00 am. Still, I remember coming a bit early, at around 6:30 am. Knowing how much I've walked I think it would be a safe estimate that I fell asleep at about 7:15... I don't think I've ever napped for this long especially so early in the morning and especially on an uncomfortable cold hard wooden desk.
I noticed a tv as well, at the side. It's not very hard to believe that this type of academy would have a tv in their classroom, especially by how good it is from what it says on the net but... it somehow feels very unsettling. Especially in the type of situation I am in.
Now that I think about it. Has that always been there? I'm not sure. My memory is kind of fuzzy. Then again this is a different classroom from where I've slept. I can't say for sure whether that tv has been on there recently or for awhile now.
In my surprise, I've also noticed that the parts where the window should be is plated with metal and screws.
"What the heck? Those definitely weren't there before."
At least in the classroom I slept inside of. I knocked on it but it seemed to be very thick and not just a thin sheet. It's going to be very tough to break out of it but... why would I really need to break out of it? More importantly, why are they here in the first place?
There's also... moss and plants all around from the creaks on the floor and at the corners of the room. It somehow feels very old in here and not the same pristine academy I've seen from earlier.
I stood back, stopping myself from over analysing things. Judging from the place, the classroom orientation is pretty similar to the one I've entered earlier minus the plants and moss. It's safe to say that I'm still in Hopes peak academy but you can never be too sure, especially with those platings on the windows. This feels more like a hostage situation rather than an ordinary high school day.
It's probably the best if I explore a bit, it's way past the meeting time anyways. I'm sure everyone is here already- or at least, I'm sure someone will be here and not just me. Hopefully.
I left the room and immediately felt like something was wrong. Was it just me or did things... feel a bit more creepy and colder? Thankfully I've made myself familiar with the halls, I guess it would be best to start at the entrance and search up from there, right? I quickly made my way there and quickly sighed in relief. Realizing that I was no longer along is probably the best thing that has happened to me yet.
But... I have to admit, is it just me or... did everyone looking kind of.. similar to me and to each other? Green hair, freckles, but different heights, somehow different faces.... it looks like I'm looking at myself but from different stylised mirrors.
"Oh hi there! Are you new here too? My name is Izuku- Ah well actually, we're all named Izuku here! Except for the girls, they're named Izumi!"
A boy, the most plain looking one wearing a UA uniform says. I looked at him incredulously, really? Seriously? My name is Izumi too!
"Yep, can confirm."
A lazy looking, lanky tall guy said. Waving at me.
"Well we've decided to start referring to ourselves by our ultimate titles just to avoid the confusion, we all already know each other but you're kind of late which is not a bad thing of course. Um, you can call me Uh... Nerd, I somehow got the title of Ultimate Nerd."
He sighs, looking down, kind of depressed.
"Kacchan would make fun of me if he was here..."
"Hey that's no way to start a day, my name is uh.. well as you know, Izumi, my title is Ultimate luck!"
"Ultimate luck? Cool, how did you get here? Did you get an invitation as well? I was just planning to check the place out but the moment I stepped inside I just felt kinda dizzy and when I woke up I was in a classroom, kind of weird, huh?"
"Eh? That happened to me too!"
"I was actually planning to wear the uniform they sent if I wasn't planning to go to UA afterwards! Um I kinda glad I didn't, it looked kind of similar to Survivor."
"Survivor?"
"The beefcake in the corner who's trying to pet Spy there."
He points to them, Survivor cornering the poor spy who keeps hissing at trying to claw him whenever he comes close, kind of bizzare.
"I suggest you leave them alone for awhile, best to start off with others!"
I nod, I still find it kind of bizzare, this is way too detailed to be a dream. Also I slapped myself earlier so there's no way this isn't a dream but no use just standing around with jaws gaping, it's best to just adapt and overcome, no matter the situation.
I approached the tall lanky guy from earlier, the one who waved at me.
"Heya."
He says, casually looking down at me, I feel sort of intimidated but I don't... really care? He doesn't seem to be a bad person, he's wearing uniform that's all white and has pockets all around, he also seems to be carrying a broom. It makes me think of a janitor but what kind of janitor wears pure white?
"Hi, I'm Izumi but you can call me Lucky since Luck is my ultimate talent... I guess?"
"Oh, my name is Izuku- but you probably already know that right? You can call me Psychic."
"Oh cool! Are you a psychic?"
"No."
He says rather bluntly, it almost shocked me.
"You aren't?"
"Nah, I'm just good at reading body language, probably mistook me for a psychic or something, but if it makes you feel better, I'm almost never wrong when reading someone's emotions."
"Oh... I see."
He doesn't seem much for conversation and looks like he'd rather be left alone so I moved unto the next person.
I approached another one who was wearing something you'd see out of a fantasy universe, he wore a long flowing robe and is even holding unto a staff.
"Hi! My name is Izumi but you can call me Lucky since Luck is my talent."
"Oh cool! Luck would be really useful in casting spells- my name is Izuku- you can call me Magi, my Ultimate talent is Magic!"
I'm not sure what kind of quirk classifies as magic or maybe the guy is lying but then again, nothing is impossible in a world of quirks I guess?
"Here, have this!"
He snaps his fingers and suddenly a pair of white bunny ears connected to a hair band appears, he hands it to me and I take a few moments inspecting it. It's as soft as what a real bunny ear would feel like and it feels like real fur.
"Put it on!"
He says a bit excitedly, I wore it out of politeness. He smiled brightly at me, giving me a thumbs up, not sure what to feel about it, I just went to talk to the next person.
Although I'm not used to calling other boys cute, usually more focused on my studies right now, this boy is really cute, he wears a cute over-sized peach sweater that reaches down to his finger tips and only wearing black shorts that reaches mid-thigh and brown boots with heels that reaches up to his knees, he mostly looks confused. Although he looks cute at the same time he looked very plain.
"Hi there! My name is Izumi! You can call me lucky since my talent is Luck!"
He looks somehow startled before looking nervous.
"Um.. I..I'm sorry I'm not sure what my title is." He says, a bit shyly.
"You don't...?"
"I-I don't know, my mind just feels kind of hazy... S-Sorry, everyone called me Memory so maybe you can call me that too. I-I'm sorry..."
He looked almost at the brink of tears when he says that, I felt my sweat drop.
"H-Hey it's fine! No need to cry it's not your fault, I'm sure you'll remember!"
"B-But... But I don't want to remember..."
He breaks out into muttering and I'm not sure if I could understand, he doesn't want to remember his title? I wonder why?
"Well I'll be talking with other people, feel free to always come up to talk to me when you need anything, okay?"
He nods and I make my way to the next person.
Or rather, they made their way to me.
"Hi! I just noticed but you're taking too long to get to me, I hope you don't mind if I introduce myself, right?"
They say a bit excitedly. I felt startled, he... he somehow looks very pretty and has this aura of calmness around although he seems very excited and energetic. There's a flower crown on his head and he's wearing golden bracers and all the like that makes him look like an angel, is he a fantasy themed person too?
"My name is Midori! Call me Midori! People call me that, my title is Ultimate Summoner but I just think it sounds kinda silly, doesn't it? I don't want to be called Summoner, it sounds creepy."
"Oh, well my name is Izumi- but you can call me Lucky! My ultimate talent is luck!"
"Lucky is a pretty cute name, it definitely suits you- I love your bunny ears, where'd you get them?"
"I got them for Magi!"
"Oh, he didn't tell me he could do that!"
He says with a pout.
"Well thank you for telling me! Keep wearing it, it looks cute! It can be your defining feature to us!"
"...Okay?"
I watched as Midori march to Magi and promptly demand to get a bunny-ear hairband as well. I move unto the next person.
It didn't take me long to deduce what kind of ultimate talent he has, practically dressed up as a doctor but he seems to be wearing a scarf...? I wonder why he'd need that, while it is cold, it's not that chilly.
"My name Is Izuku- but you can call me doc, I hope that we get along! My ultimate talent is being a doctor but... I'm still in the process of being legally one."
He says with a wide smile that makes me think of memory, he's just as cute although he doesn't look.. plain?
"Your talent is Luck right?"
"Yep, feel free to call me Lucky!"
"Well nice to meet you! If you ever need some sort of medical assistance, no matter how embarrassing it is feel free to come to me! Seriously, don't worry I won't judge you for anything, you know a lot of people die nowadays because they're too scared to get a check up. I promise that we doctors don't judge, so if you ever feel that something is wrong. My door is always open!"
He says happily. I can do nothing but nod, I have never met an energy so pure and bright before. I quickly excused myself before talking to the next person.
"Hi, my name is Izumi but you can call me Lucky, who are you?"
"..."
Not much for conversation as well?
"...Omni, you can... call me that."
He says, looking a bit down.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine... I just... I kind of miss Kacchan..."
"Oh... I'm sure we'll get to him soon enough. Don't worry about it!"
"You think so...?"
"Yep! And I'm sure Kacchan would want you to be down like that for him, would he?"
"...You're right! Thank you..."
"Um let me introduce myself again, my name is Omni, I wish we continue to get along unto the future."
"I wish too, feel free to talk to me when you need anything, okay?"
He nods, I move on to the next person.
"Hi! My name is Izumi, you can call me Lucky because my talent is Luck!"
A voice that is definitely not my own says. What the hell?
"Pffft you look so silly, never talked to yourself before? You're literally doing it!"
He says with a wide grin, looking smug, who is this person? He's wearing what seems to be a hero outfit, reminiscent to All Might but all edgy, baggy and dark.
"Oh I can tell you, but nah, just call me your Supreme Leader! It's my talent! You may also refer to me as My Lord or Master if you so wish!"
"...I think I'll just call you obnoxious, how about that?"
"Oh you're so funny, I like that."
I feel shivers down my spine as he smiled at me, who the hell is this guy?!
"I'm you, except I'm a boy!"
"I'm done talking to you."
"But you're still talking to me-!"
I quickly ignored him, I don't think I've ever hated myself more than I did right now.
I sighed, finally realizing that at least one of us is a girl.
"Hi, my name is Izumi, you can call me Lucky, my ultimate talent is Luck!"
"Oh thank god, I thought only me and Hunter were the girls!"
She says with a happy grin, hugging me tight, although it is a bit awkward. She pulled away, now a bit red-faced.
"S-Sorry... it's just that, Hunter is the only person I feel really comfortable with right now but... she's pretty closed off. I mean she lets me hug her but I feel more like a nuisance more than anything, you know?"
She says with a sad smile.
"No no it's fine! You're free to hug me all you like uh..."
"It sounds kind of pretentious but um, you can call me Idol! My talent is being an Idol I guess..."
Now that I think about it, I looked at her outfit and she's definitely the most stylish out of all of us. And she's really pretty too I guess.
"It's fine, you can call me Lucky!"
"Oh... well hello Lucky! For the sake of us three, I hope we get along in the future."
I nod and move unto the next person, probably the next normal looking one, only wearing a t-shirt, some loose pants and a jacket.
"Hi! My name is Trickster- don't worry I'm not that bad! Promise, the only people I've tricked is police trying to catch me!"
"... Excuse me? I'm... I'm going to become a lawyer one day, you know."
"Oh shi- well I hope that doesn't stop us from being friends here! We're schoolmates, you wouldn't rat me out or anything, right?"
"What kind of crime are you exactly doing?"
"Im a vigilante but for some reason they won't believe that I'm Quirkless like, just because I'm using tools and I'm fast doesn't mean that I can't be Quirkless, you know? People nowadays think that quirks are everything, it's annoying."
"...I'll let you off this time but if you actually ever commit any crime-"
"Don't worry! I promise I won't!"
I gave him one more suspicious glance and he returns it with a bright smile before I moved unto the next person.
"...Hi."
The person before me wore something a soldier would probably wear, camouflaged yet her hair is overgrown, possibly longer than Idol because it's tied up in a pony tail, she looked at me up and down as if analysing me.
"...You have a good body, do you do martial arts?"
I stiffly nodded.
"...I see, if you ever wish to continue your training. You're free to come to me to spar. Your body is strong yet not strong enough, you're a blue belter, aren't you? You can call me hunter."
"Ah... I see, I-I am.. I'll keep that in mind, Hunter-san."
"... Hm. Cute."
Did I just got called cute?!
"Your... bunny ears."
"Oh um, thank you."
I shakily give her a smile yet her expression remains unchanging, I quickly move unto the next person.
He looked a lot like a girl, I admit, everything about him is feminine and he was really pretty but glancing down... he's definitely a boy alright. There were small demon wings popping up from his back and a cute devilish tail, I assume it's his quirk.
"O-Oh um... I've heard, your name, don't worry about it... M-My name is... um, my talent is Ultimate Manipulator but honestly... I'm not sure what it means exactly... I swear I don't! I would never do that kind of thing, I'm... I'm sure they just mislabelled me or something..."
He mutters in a soft melodic voice, despite knowing his title I suddenly feel my guard slide down, I mean, there's no way someone as cute and soft as this would do that kind of stuff, right? Right?
"It's fine...?"
"Ah! Oh no... it's because of my title... oh no... I bet you don't trust me now..."
He whines hiding his face in his hands while his tail swirls around him.
"Oh no! I totally trust you! Don't worry about it!"
"Y-You do..?"
He gently peeks from his hands.
"Of course! Don't worry about it, okay?"
He nods and I quickly move unto the next person.
Wait... was I just- no no way, he wouldn't do that.
"Hi! My name is Actor! No need to repeat yourself, it's getting kind of annoying."
It surprised me to see his emotions changed so quickly, at the start of the sentence it was happy but at the end he immediately looked dissapointed.
"Eitherway, I suggest you talk to Survivor over there already, get him away from poor spy, the kid is totally stressed right now. I'm surprised no one tried to stop them yet."
I nod, immediately making my way towards them, from close up, I realized that spy had a tail and scales, he looked like... he seems to have a snake quirk?
"Aren't you getting tired?! Get away from me already!"
"Come on just a hug?"
"No!"
He hissed, definitely a snake quirk.
"Um hi! My name is-"
"Lucky, ultimate luck, we know, your voice is loud." Spy says, annoyed.
"Hey that's no way to treat a person who's just trying to be nice! Apologize!"
"I'll consider it if you stop trying to hug me!"
Well that's about all of them.
"Now now, are we going to sit here and dawdle around pointless stuff, Survivor! Spy had enough, leave him alone already."
Supreme Leader says, glaring at him.
"Do I have to?"
"Just because we have the same quirk doesn't mean I'm going to be lenient on you, let him go already."
Survivor pouts and finally leaves Spy alone. Spy let out a sigh of relief.
"Now that we have everyone's attention... is it just me or is there like, no signal here? I downloaded the wrong candy crush and it needs internet!"
"There's more to be concerned about, specifically, the weird metal thing here-"
Hunter says, knocking on the contraption behind them.
"-And the fact that we're all boarded up in here like some kind of prisoners, how about let's discuss that first?"
"I agree! But I do believe that it's also good to discuss the lack of signal! I mean- only if you want to Hunter-!"
"No. I guess it's good to bring that up too, Idol."
"Hey I got to it first! Why are you only acknowledging it from her?!"
"Because you had foul motives."
"Shut up you hero-wannabe."
"Hey! That's not very nice, let's not fight here I haven't found much supplies aside from my own to heal wounds-!"
We were all quickly cut off by the loud noise of a school bell ringing.
"Ah... Mic check... Mic check? Is the mic working? Mic check? Can I have your attentions please."
A voice that sounded familiar but at the same time, not says.
"Is that... Nedzu-san?"
Survivor asks, a bit confused.
"Attention to all the new students! I would like to start on with the entrance ceremony please! So everyone, please proceed to the gymnasium."
"It's definitely Nedzu!"
Survivor exclaims.
"I'd know that annoying voice from anywhere."
Supreme leader rolls his eyes.
"Whatever, let's go check what's up."
