Chapter 3
Got this done! Finally, we going to meet some U.A kids and Crona being U.A! Let see how this turns out~
Special thanks to R3N41SS4NC3 for beta-reader this chapter
"You got in!" Maka gushes when Crona tells her the news. She uses the mirror to tell her about the school she has gotten into. He smiles and looks downcast a bit.
"Maka." Maka stops and Crona tries to find the words, but his tongue catches in her throat. But Maka waits there to let Crona gather up her words, "Do you think they like me? The other students?" she asks.
"I don't see why not. You're kind, thoughtful, and overall a great friend to have," Maka lists, but notices that Crona still looks down, "You nervous?"
Crona rests his head on the sink, "Yeah."
"Crona." Crona looks up. "You going to be fine. Me, Marie, and even Stein will be with you every step of the way. If you have a bad day or need to talk, then you always call me and Marie, ok?"
Crona smiles, feeling better, "I do thank you."
Crona feels his legs get weaker at the sight of the sheer size of U.A. It's 20 times the size of DWMA.
'Breathe in and out,' Crona recalls Marie's breathing lessons she taught her beforehand. Breathe in and out slowly. Slowly he calms down and walks ahead. He keeps her eyes cast downward. He can't meet anyone's gaze yet. Plus he has gotten pretty good at walking with her head down, only needing to glance up occasionally to find the right classroom.
'1-A, 1-A...there it is!' Crona smiles when she spots the classroom but stops before entering.
'There are going to be people in there. People that will look at me and judge,' Crona panics, sweat starting to form on his face, 'No!' He shakes her head and wipes the sweat from her brow. 'It'll be fine! I need to make a good first impression.' Crona took a deep breath and walked in with her head held high.
...Only to bump into someone and almost make the other fall over.
'So much for the first impression.'
"I'm sorry!" Crona shouts out and lowers his head.
"I'm sorry!" The one his bumped into apologizes to her. When his got a good look at the guy, his saw a young, plain-looking boy around his age.
"No, I bumped into you and it's my fault. Please forgive me!" Crona told the boy. By now the whole class is watching this exchange.
"No, I'm sorry!" The boy professes to bow his head to him.
"Oh, will you two shut up!" A loud voice shouts at them causing both children to jump. A blond student with his feet on his desk glares at them with red eyes.
Crona was about to open his mouth to defend herself, but two other voices stopped his.
"Franken!"
Crona turns and sees a familiar pink-skinned girl and a red-haired boy.
"Ashido! And um..." Crona takes a closer look at the red-haired one. Those red eyes and scar look familiar. Then it clicked.
"Kirishima?" Crona asked and Kirishima smiled.
"Yep! Glad to see you made it!" He pats Crona's back. He almost doubles over but manages to hold her ground.
"Sorry." Kirishima helps her straighten. He guesses he doesn't know his strength.
"It's fine. I'm glad you guys are here." Crona says truthfully. The other boy, the one she'd bumped into, was nervously chatting with a kid with glasses and a short girl round girl.
"If you're just here to make friends, then forget coming to this school," A voice told them.
Wha?
Crona and the others turn to the door and see a tired-looking man in a sleeping bag. Was he there before? Crona didn't sense him because he was talking to his classmates.
The man got out his sleeping bag and looked over the classroom.
"It took you 8 seconds to calm down." Man commented as he got up out of his sleep bag, "Time is precious. You lot can do me a favor and be mindful about it." Everyone takes this as a cue to get back to their desk. Crona sits far in the back to be closer to the corner.
"Hello, I'm Aizawa Shouta, your homeroom teacher. Nice to meet you all," He greets in the most bored tone. Kinda reminds Crona of Stein when he's not cutting something or discussing any science in class.
The man reaches into his sleeping bag and pulls out a blue uniform with white trim.
"Put on these and head outside," The teacher orders them.
"W-where to?" the green hair asked.
"The Training Grounds."
Crona tilts his head. Don't they need to get to orientation?
"Um...sir," Crona starts but is cut off by the teacher.
"What are you doing?" The teacher narrows his eyes at them, "Do heroes stand when they receive an order? Get to it!" he orders, and the rest of the students get up.
"Yes sir!"
Bakugo huffs as he walks to the changing room with the rest of the extras. He was in a bad mood today. First, he found out that someone stole his spot in the first of the class, and then Deku appeared in the U.A. even after he threatened him. God, can't he take the hint?
He angrily slams the door after changing. The sooner this is done, the better. Some skinny-ass pink-haired student had the unfortunate honor of standing in front of him when he was getting out.
"MOVE EXTRA!" He yells and the pink-haired flinches and moves away. Good. Someone knows their place around here. He enters the Training Ground with the rest of the extras. The teacher waits until they are all here before he speaks up.
"Franken." The pink hair flinches when called upon. "You finished first in the practical exams, correct?"
Wait a minute...
"Yes sir..." The pink-haired answers the teacher. The teacher throws the ball at her and she catches it.
"Then you can be first to throw using your quirk," the teacher told her.
ARE FUCKING KIDDING?!
THIS PUNK BEAT HIM FOR FIRST PLACE!?
Crona nervously walks up the base. He faces away from others and ready himself to throw. Then he remembers she has to use his 'quirk'. Should he use Bloody Needle? No that would destroy the ball. Scream Resonance?
"Franken?" It took Crona a moment to realize that he was being called on. They were still not used to being called Franken but it was for the mission.
"What's the problem?" Aizawa asked her.
"N-nothing I'm just thinking." He answered.
"Well better hurry up or you'll have to leave this school," He tells him coldly.
Crona's eyes were wide and was about to throw it panic but remembered she had to use her power. But which one?
"He got the top score?!"
"Why is she this shy? I thought the stronger the quirk the more presence the person has?"
"My, my," One of the boys spoke up "Can his abilities shine that brightly if his appearance or he cannot?"
They could feel the other students looking at them whydotheydothat. Cronadidnotlikeonebit.

A voice louder than the rest shouts, "Just throw it already you fucking sacredly cat!" Before Aizawa or anyone else can say anything to a blond-haired kid. Ragnarok busts out from Crona's back(ripping up his shirt in the process), grabs the ball, and throws it at the blond kid's face.
"Will shut your fucking mouth you fucking blondie!" Ragnarok shouts and Crona tries to cover his mouth but that only makes him angry and starts pitching his cheek, "You want some too, Crona? Piece of shit!" Crona bats Ragnarok's hands away. Then the blond boy let out a demonic growl and turned to see the blond-haired kid giving Crona the angriest look she had seen on a person.
"You." The blondie darts forward. "ARE SO FUCKING DEAD!" Crona's eyes widen but then narrow. Ragnarok melts back into his skin and from skin pores in her hand transforms into his sword form. He was mistaken if Crona thought that blond kids would stop because they had a weapon. Heck, Crona swears he was grinning.
Lucky Aizawa steps in and grabs the boy with his scarf.
"What the fuck is this thing made of?!" The boy shouts at the teacher.
"Carbon fibers and a special metal alloy." While glaring at the boy with red eyes, Aizawa explains, "Go back in line and settle down."
Crona quickly goes back in line and Bakugo glares at them as he walks past.
This wasn't over.
Not by a long shot.
Aizawa put eye drops in his eyes. Damn it he didn't want to use his quirk that much. But those two got into a fight.
Speaking of...
He looks where Franken was in line. When he uses his quirk on them the grown on Crona's back, Ragnarok doesn't disappear. That never happened before. Aizawa rubs the bridge of his nose in thought. He knew the kid is in trouble because of their records, but there seemed to be more to their story than what was on paper.
He needs to get to the bottom of this.
Crona hangs his head. First day and he already made an enemy.
'Great work Crona! You painted a target on your back,' He thought bitterly.
"Oh hey!" A cheerful voice calls out to him. Crona looks around, confused until he sees...floating outfit.
"Um...hello?" He doesn't know how to deal with this....
"Do you remember me?" The voice sounds like a girl. Crona thought back to where he heard that voice before and then remembered the exam...
"Oh! You're from the test!" Crona exclaims and the girl giggles at his outburst. Crona rubs the back of his neck. "Sorry, I didn't catch your name before."
"Oh it's Hagakure Toru," She tells her.
"I'm Franken Crona," He answers in kind.
"It's nice to meet you, Franken." She couldn't see her face but the tone of her voice that she was happy.
"It's nice to meet you too," She answers. Crona was about to talk to her, but the teacher cut her off.
"Let's get on to the next test!"
First Test. Fifty Meter Dash.
Crona stretched as she was up to the dashed line. Kirishima was stretching to her side, but he had a nervous look on his face.
"You ok?" She asks him.
He rubs the back of his neck, "Yeah it's just..." He looks ahead at the track line, "It just..my quirk is not suited for this course." He explains to her.
Crona blink, "Oh?" She didn't think of that. Then again her black blood can almost do anything so she is good about these tests. But without it, she is just a skinny teen so she can kinda see it from Kirishima's point of view. She fell short on spots with BlackStar and Kid a couple of times, but then BlackStar said something to her that made her feel better...
"Kirishima." Kirishima turns to Crona. The breeze brushes against her hair dramatically. "You may not be a star that shot down god-like my friend's planning to do, but you shine like one."
"Whaaat?"
"Runner on your mark!" The robot announces to them and they get the message and get ready, "Go!"
Kirishima took off like an arrow.
But Crona is like a bullet with Ragnarok's wings out.
"4.23!" The robot beep as Crona presses it, "5.50." When Kirishima passes.
"You did good!" Crona tells him.
"You did bad," Ragnarok tells him at the same time.
"Ragnarok don't be mean," Crona scolds him.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Ragnarok pinches her cheeks.
"Ouch! Stop it Ragnarok!"
"What did I just say?!"
"Franken," Crona and Ragnarok stop their little fight to turn to Kirishima, "I understand what you were trying to say."
"You do?"
"Yeah." Crona got nervous because Kirishima's face was blank momentarily before crying manly tears. "We should aim high and reach for the stars so we leave a blaze of glory even if we fall. That's so manly!"
Ummm...
"I guess." Crona doesn't understand it either, but Maka said that's what BlackStar meant.
Kirishima holds up his hand so she can take it.
"Let's do our best Crona!"
Crona nervously takes it. "Um... yeah." Oh god, she's making friends and doing good do fa-
"Let's move, people," Aizawa deadpans.
Second Test. Grip Test.
Ok, this test is simple. Just grip as hard as you can on the hand-held device and it measures it out. Crona knows how to deal with this.
"Here it goes," He takes a deep breath and squeezes it as hard as he can.
Beep!
Crona looks down and his eyes widen.
999.99 kilograms.
"Um... Aizawa-sensei." Crona turned to his teacher, holding the device. Aizawa took the object and looked it over. "I-I didn't mean t-too...I mea-"
"It's fine. Just put it back," Aizawa tells his as he hands it back.
"O-oh...ok," Crona nodded and returned to the box where the other devices were put when the students were done. When Mina walks over to deposit her own, she looks at Crona's device.
"Wow, that's a lot of 9s!" Mina exclaims.
"Hm? Someone beat my mark?" Sato says as he walks over. He's a tall, very muscular young man with spikey, brown hair.
"O-oh! Um...I guess I did." Crona rubs the back of his head. This was too much. How did BlackStar deal with this?
"Great job! I know you can do it!" Kirishima pats Crona's back.
"T-thanks...I was just doing my best," Crona replies.
Deep breaths Crona. You can do this!
Third Test: Standing Long Jump.
Crona clears the ground easily with Ragnarok wings. Along with some of the other students. One creates a javelin to clear the field and another with ice.
So far an impressive crop.
Fifth Test: Ball Throw
Crona sighs, he didn't have to go do this test again and can stand off to the side. He watches all the other students go. Uraraka won because she just made the ball float. Not even Bakugo can top that. Hagakure went up and it came out to 37.3.
"That was bad." She sounds sheepish as stands beside Crona.
"I-I think you did good!" He tries to comfort her.
"Nah...you doing so much better than me." Hagakure comment. That comment should have made Crona feel better but je feels someone glaring at her. He didn't need to put two and two together to see it was that Bakugo kid.
'He's out for me isn't he?' Crona thought sadly to himself. The teacher calls for Izuku to throw. He flinches but goes up anyway. Crona feels for him. He hasn't been doing well and people keep looking at him.
"Ha! He's going to get kicked out!" Bakugo said out loud enough for Crona and Hagakure to hear.
"Haven't you seen his quirk?" Iida asks him in disbelief.
"What are you talking about Deku doesn't have a quirk!" Wait he doesn't? Well, that does explain why he not doing well but why was Iida saying he does have one? And what nickname is Deku anyway? Doesn't sound that nice if what he remembers Deku translates to.
Crona's attention turns back to Izuku when she hears a soft thump sound. Izuku looks at the ball in disbelief. It only went up to 48 meters.
"I erased your quirk," Awaiza explains to him. His hair begins to wave as if he were underwater, "Those stupid Entrance Exams should be changed if someone like you can pass." Izuku's wide as he saw the goggles.
"My quirk is erased! Wait, those goggles...are you Eraserhead, the Erase Hero!" Crona tilts his head. The... what hero?
"Ever heard of that hero?" Crona whispers to Hagakure.
"Never heard him," Hagakure answers him.
Crona didn't hear what the teacher was talking to Izuku about. But whatever it is, it seems to hurt Izuku from the look on his face. He looks like a kicked puppy. Awaiza didn't look too happy as he returned to his spot. He locks eyes on Izuku, and his frown is firm.
"What do you think they talking about?" Hagakure asks her. Crona is about to tell he she has no idea but Bakugo opens his mouth first.
"He's probably going to get kicked out!" Bakugo shouts in glee.
"That brat's got a big mouth," Ragnarok comments and Crona agrees. So much so that he said that she shouldn't have said.
"You got this Midoriya!" Crona cheers. He could feel Bakugo glaring at him. But Izuku looks back at him and smiles. Making Crona think he did the right thing.
Izuku looked at the ball and talked to himself but Crona couldn't make out the words. Izuku reared his arm back to throw and...was his finger glowing?
"SMAASH!"
The ball shouted out his hand like a canon. Crona and the rest of the students look up in awe.
"Sensei!" Awaiza looks up from his phone, "I can still move!" Even with tears in Izuku's eyes, he and his hand gripping with his broken finger.
"This kid!" Awaiza grins.
"Now that's a hero's throw if I have ever seen one!" Uraraka shouts in glee.
"Holy crap that was awesome!" Hagakure agrees.
"What the fuck!" Bakugo charged, his quirk blasting alongside him, "Explain yourself, Deku! You lying snake!" Deku screamed and Awaiza was about to stop Bakugo. Only for Crona to tackle Bakugo and hold him down. Crona grabs Bakugo's arms and forces them away from her so that he won't get caught in his explores.
"Get off of you scaredy-cat!" Bakugo roars, "I'll kill you!"
"Like to see you try asshole!" Ragnarok yells back.
"He just throws the ball. I don't why you work up to about it," Crona comments, but that only makes Bakugo madder.
"Since when did you grow a spine?! I'll kill you!" Bakugo shouts at Crona. Unlashing small explosions in the process, but Crona holds on. "How are this strong?!" Bakugo shouts. For a skinny thing, Crona is strong.
"Because of me! Can I get a thank you?" Ragnarok asks Crona.
"Oh thank you," Crona replies, while still holding Bakugo down. Ragnarok then pitches Crona's nose.
"That's thank you very much!" Ragnarok corrects him and Crona yelps but holds on to Bakugo who is trying to escape. Suddenly all three of them were wrapped in Aizawa's scarf.
"Hey, what's the big idea? I was about to teach them some matters," Ragnarok shouts at him.
Aizawa frowns, "Franken control your quirk, and Bakugo gets back in line. Or both of you will be kicked out!" All three got the message and let up. But Bakugo glares at Crona before they get back into line. Crona just sighs.
Already made an enemy.
"Here are the results," Aizawa as he presses a button.
1. Franken Crona
2. Yaoyorozu Momo
3. Todoroki Shoto
4. Bakugo Katsuki
5. Iida Tenya
6. Tokoyami Fumikage
7. Shoji Mezo
8. Ojiro Mashirao
9. Kirishima Eijirou
10. Ashido Mina
11. Uraraka Ochako
12. Koda Koji
13. Sato Rikido
14. Tsuyu Asui
15. Aoyama Yuga
16. Sero Hanata
17. Denki Kaminari
18. Jirou Kyoka
19. Hagakure Toora
20. Midoriya Izuku
Crona and Hagakure both sigh in relief when they see their names on the board.
"That was close," Hagakure said but then looked at Midoriya. "I feel bad for Midoriya though." Crona looks at Midoriya who looks like he wants the earth to swallow him whole. He bites her lip. He doesn't know what to do. Should she go over to comfort him? Or will he be embarrassed because of this in a public place?
"Oh yeah about expelling one of you." Midoriya flitches when Aizawa speaks. "I lied."
"Huh!?" All of the students shout in surprise.
"It was a logical ruse, so you all will try your best," Aizawa says with a big grin.
"WHAAAAT!" Iida, Uraraka, and Midoriya shout, and Crona covers his ears. They were loud.
"What, you guys didn't figure it out? Sorry, I should have said something." Yaoyorozu comment.
"Was it? I didn't notice," Hagakure whispers to Crona.
"I didn't either," Crona whispers back. He was sure that Aizawa was going to expel someone.
"I wouldn't see your best performance otherwise," Aizawa explains to them. That makes sense but don't scare her like that!
"Anyways" He rubs the back of his neck, "We're done here. Your syllabus and documents are in your classroom. Midoriya." Midoriya flinches. "Go see Recovery Girl about your finger." He walks up to him and hands Midoriya a slip of paper, "Tomorrow will be just as hard as it was today. Be at your best, ok?" Midoriya nodded as he took the note. "Dismissed."
With that, Crona and the other students head back. He couldn't help but look back and see Midoriya enter another building where the nurse was. This was already the first day and there was already a huge risk of her being let go.
Crona better give it all she's got in this school.
He couldn't shake it. Something was wrong with that kid. Not only did she have good control over her quirk, but when Aizawa used his quirk on the growth, of Ragnarok, it didn't stop. It's the first time that has happened to him. Usually, even a Transform-type quirk would be too stiff for the user to use. But Crona used him just fine.
If being an underground hero teaches him anything it's trusting your instinct. And his instinct is telling him that Franken is hiding something big.
And he's going to find out what that is.
Crona sighed as she got out of school. This has been a day...
"Franken!" Crona almost trips. Who..? When she saw the floating outfit she knew who it was.
"Hagakure?" Crona tilts her head.
"Hey, Franken! Want to walk home together?" He asks her.
Crona blinks in surprise. "You want to hang out with me?" she asks in disbelief.
"Well yeah! You're nice to hang around," He explains. "Would that be cool with you?"
"Um...well sure!" Crona said still shocked that this was happening, "Does this mean we are friends?" He asks her.
"Maybe if you buy some sweets on the way," Hagakure told Crona.
"Oh! Um..." He feels around her pockets, "I don't have any money on me..."
Hagakure laughs, "I was just teasing you! Of course, we are friends!" He runs up ahead.
"Hurry up! Or the train will be leaving soon!" she exclaims.
"Hey wait up!" Crona catches up to him.
Maybe things are looking up for him.
And that's a wrap!
I'm glad we get to meet some U.A students now and next chapter we get to meet more include one loud-mouth blond.
