Chapter 19 - First day at U.A

Michael took the train to U.A once more, he had the same feeling of being watched, but this time he could tell who was watching him, it looked to be the pro hero snipe, he guessed that after the attack by All For One. The U.A staff thought he might attack again, and arranged an escort to bring him to U.A. Considering he would be living in the U.A dorms, and would therefore be considered safe after this, Michael thought it was a good choice.

As Michael entered U.A, he met up with Mashirao.

"Hey Mashirao, which class did you get into"

"Hey Michael, I got into 1-A, what about you?"

"Same as me then, this is great, we can train to be heroes together, I hope Izuku's in 1-A too, introduced you guys about two months ago, what do you think about him?"

"He's a nice guy, even if he has some confidence issues, I know he'd have my back if I have his, he's loyal and determined to be a hero, honestly its kind of endearing."

"Hey look there's 1A" Says Michael passing by a giant door with the letters 1-A on it.

As they entered, Mashirao sat down at his desk, which was the closest one to the door, while Michael sat in seat 10, behind Tenya Lida, and to the right of Momo, who didn't seem to have the same seat as the anime, where she sat at the back. It seemed she had switched seats with Koji Koda. It didn't seem like Rikido Sato was in the class at all, maybe he had been placed into 1-A or general studies?

The last three students that hadn't got to class yet were Katsuki Bakugo, Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka. Michael could see Aizawa in his yellow sleeping bag who seemed to be in another room, probably waiting for all the students to arrive before waking up from his nap.

Tenya approached Michael by turning his chair around to speak to him face to face, "My name is Tenya Lida, I-I'm from Somei Private Academy. I misjudged you previously, I thought you went to the exam to have fun and play around, I've looked you up online, and I've heard of your heroic actions and attitude. As well as defeating the Reset pointer, I am proud to have met such a great upcoming hero and be your classmate as we learn to become heroes here at U.A"

"You seem to already know my name, but it'd be impolite not to reciprocate. My Name's Michael Steele and it's good to meet you too Tenya Lida, speaking of, are you related to the pro hero Ingenium in any way? I'm a big fan."

"Yes. he's my respected older brother. I am a big fan of his work as a pro hero as well, I aspire to become a worthy hero just like him."

"It's good to meet you Tenya, I hope we can be good friends and classmates during our time at U.A."

Hearing this, Tenya turned his seat back around, Michael then used his x-ray vision to look for the three missing students, he saw that Bakugo was making his way to the classroom and winced slightly, not looking forward to the confrontation with the explosive boy.

As Bakugo entered the classroom, he spotted Michael. "You didn't break the first half of your promise, Michael, the part about beating me however, that parts going to be broken. I've reflected on your words, I've heard about your fight with Muscular too. I decided to be more focused, so I can beat you, you ******."

"Glad to see you too Bakugo, it's good to see you toned down the attitude slightly, it might've been fine in our old school, but U.A isn't taking any attitude from it's applicants. I heard a teacher expelled an entire class of students on their first day. It's why there isn't a 2-A at UA. I don't want your potential to do good wasted because you got all pissed and angsty."

Hearing that an entire class got expelled on the first day, the rest of the class, as well as Izuku and Uraraka who had just entered the class exclaimed "EHHHHH... That can't be true!"

"Expelling an entire class isn't going too far?"

"It's not, maybe they didn't have potential, or they did something unforgivable on their first day. I don't know the full story but I know the principal backed the teacher when it happened."

"Do you know which teacher did it?" Said Denki Kaminari, who got closer to Michael's desk.

At this moment, Aizawa slid into the classroom in his yellow sleeping bag, "If you're here to socialize, get out. This is the hero course."

Hearing this everyone rushed back to their seats.

"It took you 10 seconds to quiet down, time is a precious resource, don't waste it. I'm your homeroom teacher Shota Aizawa, pleased to meet you." says Aizawa as he gets out of the yellow sleeping bag."

"Quickly now, change into your gym clothes and head out to the grounds"

Everyone quickly gets changed, worried about Michael's previous conversation and their teacher's attitude, everyone had the thought of 'Could he be the teacher Michael was talking about? Am I going to be kicked out?' Michael, seeing everyone's worried faced, smiled wryly, having not intended this effect, as Aizawa interrupted him too quickly to finish.

He wanted everyone to be more serious about the test and not annoy Aizawa enough to mention that he was going to kick the lower scoring student out, as in the anime, Aizawa didn't kick Izuku, the lowest scoring candidate out because he had showed potential at the last second, if it had been another student, they might've really been kicked out of the hero course, this time Izuku wasn't going to be taking last place, he was stronger and more suited to using One For All's power.

"Bakugo, you have the highest villain score with an emitter quirk, second place in total, how far could you throw in middle school?"

"Seventy two meters."

"Great now try it with your quirk, do whatever you need, just don't leave the circle."

Bakugo circles his hand around his back towards the sky, screaming "DIE!" as he uses his quirk to send the softball flying."

"It's important for us to know our limits." says Aizawa, as he holds up a device saying Bakugo threw the softball 732.3 meters. "This is the first rational step towards seeing what kind of heroes you'll be."

"This looks like fun, never got to use our quirks during this kind of test before. Awesome!" "732 meters? Seriously!" "So we can use our quirks for real, man the hero course is great!"

"Awesome you say? You hope to become heroes after three years here, and you think it'll be all fun and games?"

Michael hearing this, paled, anticipating what's coming next.

"The one with the lowest score across all eight events will be judged hopeless... and will be expelled."

"Your fates are in our hands. Welcome this is... The hero course at U.A High!"
