For Shinsou, everything's a drag. But then again, what did you expect from the insomniac? After catching up with the hero class, and endless training, Aizawa finally decided that Shinsou was ready for some action.

So they went on a patrol. Luckily, there were not many villains walking around on this night, but only one proved to be incredibly dangerous.

"Hey, you!" Shinsou yelled at the villain.

Obviously, he didn't reply. But his split moment of hesitation gave Aizawa enough time to blink and wrap him in his capture weapon. However, it seemed as if the villain was doing something in that moment of hesitation.

A portal appeared from under Shinsou. Shinsou didn't notice at first.

Kurogiri? Aizawa surely noticed the portal and prevented himself from looking around. But it's only this one... He made sure that the villain was restrained well and then called the police. "Shinsou?"

Shinsou didn't reply. Once the police made it here, Aizawa noticed that he didn't reply because he was gone.

But where did he go?

~~~

Shinsou sat up with a groan. He had noticed the portal too late, and now he had no clue where he was. Sitting up, he looked around and examined the environment around him.

Something stood out. The big gate in front of him. On that gate, it said, Gakuen Alice. He found it a bit unnerving and instead walked away from the gate.

But then he saw someone staring at him through the gate. Shinsou walked a bit faster.

He heard the gate open behind him. "Hey, young man."

If that doesn't sound suspicious, I wonder what does. Shinsou decided not to turn around until he heard another crowd of voices.

"Hey, let go of me!" A young girl's.

"Just get in the car," A male, perhaps thirty or so.

Shinsou turned around and looked at what looked like to be an attempted kidnapping. "Hey, you might want to let her go."

"Let he—"

"Let her go and never return to this place," Shinsou said.

The man, in a daze that was caused by Shinsou's quirk, let her go and started the car, ready to leave.

"That was amazing!" The girl turned to him, sparkles in her eyes.

She reminded him a little of Midoriya, but Midoriya wouldn't let himself get stupidly kidnapped. Shinsou replied, "Not really."

"Indeed it was," Someone said from behind them.

Mikan and Shinsou whirled around to find a tall man with blonde hair standing there. He had blue eyes and... was pretty good looking. But Shinsou didn't have enough time to stare as he broke eye contact. The air around them was beginning to smell a bit like Midnight's quirk, and Shinsou was even more unnerved.

The other girl didn't seem to notice.

"You should come to our academy," The man said to Shinsou.

"Hey, what about me?" The girl next to him interrupted, "I'm looking for my best friend Hotaru but she's in that academy!!"

"Then you can come too," With the man's smile, the air around Shinsou seemed to thicken.

The gates were already open, so the two decided to—

K a b o o m.

Some kid with raven black hair and a cat mask decided to break a giant hole in the gate wall.

Well, they better hope they have a Cementoss. Shinsou dryly thought. But then he saw the kid make a fireball in his palm.

But then was whipped.

By the same guy that wanted to bring them into the academy.

Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, Shinsou speed-walked away, Not today, Satan.

The magical guy was also behind him after detaining the fire-kid and tried to convince Shinsou. "You should come to our academy."

"Why? Why should I go to your academy?"

"Because you have an Alice."

Do you mean a quirk? Shinsou didn't say that out loud. "An Alice?"

"An Alice is a superpower that no one else has."

So it is a quirk. "Doesn't everyone have an Alice?" He asked.

"No." The guy smiled, "I'll explain it to you at the academy."

Did I travel through time? That's a possibility. It seems as in I'm in the pre-quirk era. "Okay," Shinsou replied.

"Wait, can I see Hotaru?" The girl asked.

"Only if you enroll here." The lady-man answered.

"I'm enrolling here?"

"I'll enroll here!" The girl readily exclaimed.

So all three of them, the girl, Shinsou, and the weird fire-kid went into the academy.

Walking across campus, he noticed a small water puddle. His reflection stared back at him. Wait, I'm twelve???? Shinsou had a good right to be confused.

He was suddenly the same age as the kids he was with. But I was sixteen a minute ago?

A random door opened, and the three kids plus the guy walked in.

"Oh, I never introduced myself, I'm Narumi-sensei!" The guy chirped. He laid the fire-kid on the couch, "If he wakes up, press the big red button."

"Okay," The girl and him said.

"I'll get your uniforms now." Narumi left the room.

Shinsou sat on the couch awkwardly next to the girl. It was dead silence until the girl said, "What's your name? I'm Sakura Mikan!"

"I'm Shinsou Hitoshi."

"Nice to meet you Shinsou!" Mikan said.

"You too, Sakura-san."

"No wait- call me Mikan."

"Why?"

"Because we're friends now!"

"I don't think that's how that-"

"I wonder if this is for a festival." Mikan inspected the black mask that was previously on fire kid's face.

"That's not a good idea," Shinsou told her. Shinsou saw yet another man behind Mikan.

"I knew it! Narumi you were the one who stole the-"

Mikan quickly turned around, "Who are you?!?"

"Oh, sorry, did I scare you?" Cue two nods. "I came here because I heard Narumi was here but it seems like I found you two instead. Are you two the new Alice candidates Narumi brought?"

"Yes," Shinsou answered.

"My name is Misaki, by the way. The biology teacher. I'll be going now then."

"Bye?"

Mikan and Shinsou stayed in the same room while the door closed.

"That was weird," Mikan said. Shinsou agreed.

Mikan turned around and- "Ah, who are you? Let go of my hair!"

The fire-kid from earlier was holding onto one of Mikan's pigtails while fire sparked in his palm, he stared right at Shinsou, "If you press that button, I'll burn her hair."

Shinsou looked at him, "Who are you?"

"None of-"

"Let go of Mikan and press the red button," Shinsou commanded, pointing at the red button. "And then tell us your name and qu-Alice." He caught his slip-up just in time.

The red button was pressed and Narumi immediately appeared.

"My name is Natsume Hyuuga and my Alice is fire," Hyuuga was clearly dazed.

Narumi opened the door, witnessing the scene. He sweatdropped and looked at Shinsou, "I see you had the situation perfectly handled."

Shinsou shrugged, "You said when he wakes up to press the button, not if he's causing trouble." Shinsou took this as his cue to let Hyuuga out of the daze. He shut off his quirk.

Hyuuga glared at Mikan and Shinsou, "What happened?"

Shinsou shrugged, "I wonder."

"Anyway, here are you uniforms," Narumi handed them each their uniforms, "Go change and then I'll show you around the school, little kittens."

Little kittens? That's weird, Shinsou grabbed his uniform.

"Oh, the bathrooms are to the right."

Shinsou and Mikan walked to the right side of the room, and surely enough, there were two bathrooms. They separated and went to put on their uniforms.

After they were done, they went back to the main room. The first thing Shinsou noticed is that Hyuuga wasn't there. Narumi smiled, "You two look amazing! Now follow me, we'll go to the classroom."

Mikan readily followed Narumi and Shinsou lagged a bit behind, not wanting to get caught in Narumi's Alice-like Midnight's quirk- thing.

"Hey Narumi-sensei, what's my Alice?" Mikan asked.

"We don't know yet."

"And what's Shinsou's?"

"Brainwashing."

"Mind-control." They replied simultaneously. Narumi looked at Shinsou, "Brainwashing?"

"Yes, I think I know my Alice better than you do, so I can tell you for a fact, it's brainwashing," Shinsou replied.

"That's so cool! I can't wait until I find my Alice!" Mikan said.

"I'm sure it'll be an amazing one, Mikan," Narumi smiled. "We're here." Narumi opened the classroom door and walked in.

"We have two new students." Narumi cued at them to walk into the classroom. "Introduce yourselves."

"I'm Sakura Mikan!" Mikan chirped.

"Shinsou Hitoshi." Shinsou saw Hyuuga in the back of the classroom. He seemed to be sleeping.

"So for partners, Mikan's can be Natsume." An immediate protest erupted from most of the girls in the class, especially a certain girl.

"Narumi-sensei, that's not fair!"

"And Hitoshi can be Hotaru's partner."

"Wait, Hotaru?" Mikan wildly looked around.

"Anyway, be good to them!" Narumi stepped out of the classroom.

That had Shinsou confused, Wasn't he supposed to be watching them?

Shinsou sat in a free desk that was surprisingly close to Hyuuga's row. Natsume seemed to have noticed him but ignored him in favor of Mikan.

"It's you!" Mikan exclaimed dramatically.

"You met Natsume?" A blond boy with a bunny asked.

Shinsou observed as the scene unfolded.

"He almost burnt my hair!"

"Maybe you were annoying him," The girl from earlier said. She had two long curled strands, and the rest of her hair was neatly cut.

"He's the annoying one! Does he not know how rude it is to grab my hair like that?" Mikan exclaimed, pointing an accusing finger at Natsume.

"Can you shut up?" A kid said and suddenly Mikan was floating in the air.

Another kid flew in the classroom, "Who is she?"

"What's your Alice?" The same girl from earlier asked Mikan.

"Hey, we should put her down," A boy with glasses suggested, "She didn't mean that stuff about Hyuuga-san."

"You better believe I meant it!" Mikan yells from the air.

"Stop talking about Natsume like that!" The same girl from earlier yelled at Mikan.

Shinsou groaned, this was going to take a while.

Natsume walked to where Mikan was floating, "What's your Alice, Polka-Dots?"

"Polka-Dots?!" Mikan blushed a bright red. She was enraged, "You pervert!"

"'I don't know if I have an Alice'," Some kid quoted.

"You don't have an Alice? That clearly makes us superior!" The same freakin' girl from earlier said.

"You shouldn't be here," Natsume said.

"You aren't the person who decides that!" Mikan glared at Natsume.

Shinsou glanced at the person who seemed to be holding Mikan up, "Hey can you put her down now?"

"Why should I?" The boy challenged, "Don't tell me you don't have an Alice too."

"I do, but you should put her down."

"Oh yeah? What-"

"Put her down softly," Shinsou ordered.

Mikan was lowered to the ground and the boy snapped out of Shinsou's quirk.

"How did you?" The boy looked alarmed.

Shinsou answered, "It's my Alice."

"Since you don't have an Alice, you should leave," A girl said.

"No, I'm staying here for Hotaru!" Mikan insisted.

Natsume's ruby red eyes were clouded with anger, "Go to the northern woods and find Bear. That's the only way we'll let you stay."

"Hyuuga-san, that's dangerous!" Someone protested. It was one of the boys that had defended Mikan.

"There's no way she would survive," The girl from earlier said.

"Watch, Permy! I will!" Mikan challenged.

Shinsou refrained from groaning at Mikan's stupidity.

"At least let me go with you," The boy with the glasses said.

"I'm coming," Hotaru volunteered.

"Permy?" The girl from earlier mentioned, "Listen here I'm Syoda Sumire!"

"Let's go together!" Mikan chirped, "Shinsou, do you want to come?"

Should I go? Mikan should be fine with everyone else, should be. Shinsou shrugged.

"He should stay here," Hotaru said, "He can cover for us when we're gone."

"Good idea, Hotaru!" Mikan smiled.

Hotaru rolled her eyes, "It's common knowledge that we need someone to cover for us, baka."

Shinsou merely nodded.

"Let's go, Hotaru and-?" Mikan looked towards the boy that volunteered to come with them.

"You can call me Iinchou," Iinchou said.

"Okay, let's go!" Mikan exclaimed.

The three walked out the door.

Natsume turned to face Shinsou. Dark purple eyes clashed with bright red. "What's your Alice?"

"Brainwashing," Shinsou easily answered, "But I don't see why that's any of your business."

"Trying to pick a fight with Natsume, brat?" The kid that had levitated Mikan earlier snarked.

"Drop it, Mochiage," Natsume seemingly ordered.

Why does he have so much authority over his classmates? It seems like the class respects him more than the teachers... Shinsou merely looked away. It was his first day, yet Shinsou already knew how tiring this academy was going to be.
