A marble table with wood foundations was currently holding up a multitude of dishes, 3 plates were layed out, on the first seat was Hozumi, to his left sat his father, who was reading a newspaper while eating. Deep wrinkles ran like waves across his forhead, patches of white were among the ocean of black hair like islands. Eyes fierce like a hawk piercing through all he looks at, the newpaper would've died if it had not been fearing the pain it would suffer even after death.
to his right stood an empty seat, yet a full plate stayed there, as waiting for someone to come and join their dinner.
The chair seemed untouched for years as if both Hozumi and his dad refused to touch it or alter it.
"Father…" Hozumi spoke first.
"Hm.." his father's eyes didn't drift from the paper, but his fork stopped moving, showing his attention had been given.
"It's my first day at UA today," He announced.
"Goodluck," eyes still unmoving, his attention mostly on the paper in front of him.
"Not general studies… the hero course," he added, flinching a bit as he waited for the reaction.
Although his dad was unmoving, this level of stiffness was unheard of, his eyes slowly shifted from the newspaper upwards until they met Hozumi's in the eye. "No," a simple reply, marking the end of this conversation.
"But I made a man's promise, an oath," He affirm, his fists clenched.
"Do you want another empty seat on this table?" This sentence forced both to be silent for a second. "You know how dangerous quirks are, and you want yours, which is arguably one of the most dangerous, to be let loose?" Which each word his typical silent and calm father got loud and ferocious.
"Let this law be absolute!" Hozumi roared, slapping his hand on his chest, "I will not activate my quirk unless me or someone else is at the threat of death," a couple seconds later his frame grew, slightly filling out his outfits and to the height of 6'2.
His fathers lips curved up ever so slightly, "you already broke a weight-1 so if you break this you know what will happen," although his voice showed satisfaction and happiness, his brows were furrowed, the severity of his sons actions were quite heavy.
"Due to the boost in physicality I should be able to survive UA, and then I still have a weight one condition." Explained hozumi.
"I'll never support this, but you're an adult so do what you want," his father stood up, beginning to walk away, "but if you make me go through that one more time, I won't let you feel peace, even in death," the pressure of the room increased by an incredible amount, black aura beginning to form around Hozumi's father.
"I promise I won't," Hozumi bowed deeply, "if you want I'll even-"
"No… save it for when you need it," His father walked out the room, hands behind his back.
—-
"The gate of UA is massive," Hozumi muttered, he slicked his hair back, hair covering his eyes was not an issue anymore.
Hozumi began walking in, his eyes drifting all over the place, admiring the fine architecture of UA.
He began traversing the entire building looking for the classroom of 1-B, and finally he found it.
"Sigh*" he stood outside the door, glancing at his phone, the time showed he was 9 minutes late.
He slid the door open, glancing over the class, Kaen sat near an empty seat, his expression serious as he looked at the board.
20 chairs were laid out in a 5x4 format, from the left,closest to the door, to right, near the window.
First row:
A girl in pink hair sat on the seat closest to the door, her smile radiant as she constantly tapped her foot.
a guy with turquoise eyes that had multiple rings of yellow in them and brown hair was next, his eyes darting around frantically.
A guy with headphones on, purple hair and yellow eyes was next, he was laying his head on his arms seemingly asleep.
A girl chewing on pink bubble gum with neon green hair, with occasionally pink strands, she had her knees on the desk pushing her chair back and forth.
A brown haired guy with brown eyes, looks like any average dude, he was just sat doodling on a notebook.
Second row:
A guy with blonde hair, blue eyes and angel like wings was sat up straight paying full attention to what the teacher was saying.
A guy with dark purple hair, green eyes and extremely heavy eyebags sat with his back hunched, looking barely conscious to understand the lesson.
A girl with 8 eyes and the lower half of her body resembling a spider had her long dark blue hair and fangs poking through her lips.
A girl with blue hair that was slowly dripping onto her jacket uniform, but she paid it no attention as she stared out the window.
A guy with spikey grey hear and rectangular glasses, he seems quite tall for his age.
Third row:
A very short man with black curtains sat with his legs not touching the ground, his face as a constant scowl.
A girl with a halo, orange-pink hair reaching her knees and a doll like expressionless face.
A girl with Black wavy hair to her shoulders with deep black eyes, her hair tangled and in knots, she was in a yellow sleeping bag, almost looking likena caterpillar.
Slightly chubby with Curly black hair and black eyes, a feint hue of pink surrounded her bronze skin, with a very prominent gem on the back of her hands.
A red and black haired boy with a moderate frame was playing with 2 steel balls by making them levitate and spin.
Fourth row:
Kaen, his face showing a wide smile and his uniform was sagging while his shirt was untucked.
Empty seat.
A blonde girl with blades on her knuckles was tapping the desk in a repeated rthym.
A boy with black hair and creamy highlights was in a daze while looking at the aforementioned doll like girl.
And a boy, orange hair and purple eyes, with a dead like expression, staring intensely at the teacher, not with conecrtration but hatred. He had a metal collar around her neck that was flashing red repeatedly.
"Sorry I'm late," Hozumi said softly, bowing deeply towards the teacher.
"It's no problem man! Just make sure to not make a habit," smiled the teacher, his frame towering over everyone in the class, approximately 8 foot in size, and overally hairy, having his spikey messy hair and very long sideburns. His eyebrows looking like catipillars that are trying to kiss each other.
'He seems rather friendly. I expected someone of his stature to be angered easilyc,' Hozumi thought to himself. "Yes sir," a quick bow before dashing to the 4th row to sit next to Kaen.
"So back to what I was saying!" The teacher grunted, slamming his hands on his equally large podium with enough force to cause most the students to focus. "We will go person by person, going name, quirk and a brief description and then quirk level, we will then play a game involving that information!" He clapped his hands when he finished, causing some to flinch at the noise made.
"Yay I'd love to play a game!" Spoke the pink haired girl in the front row.
'Seems shes the joy filled extroverted type, I better avoid her, I can barely handle kaen.'
"Well then, we'll start with you," the teacher motioned towards the bubbly pink haired girl, and right before she spoke he piped up again "oh wait! I forgot to introduce myself!" He face palmed, his face palm causing a boom to bounce across the class.
'This guy is on another level physically, would he be able to win using his quirk?' Kaen thought his eyes glancing at Hozumi.
"I am Higashimori Taiga, just refer to me by my hero name, Ironpaw!" He pressed his thumb against his chest proud.
'He's in the top 100,'
'This guys the real deal,'
'If I can beat him…'
"My quirk is beastification, I can go from normal human to part or full beast, increasing myself in all ways but decreasing intelligence," he explained, his voice diming slightly on the last part. "Quirk level of 6.7!" He finished off with a shinning smile.
A massive hairy arm motioned towards the first desk to the left.
"I'm Sakuraba Hanami! Please just call me Hanami!!" She practically exploded in into sunshine and rainbows, "my quirk is cherry blossom barrage! It lets me make pink energy balls that multiply per bounce later turning into cherry blossoms that are very sharp! And it's a level 6!" She flailed her arm erratically with each word, her character and looks making some feel more confident about introducing themselves.
'Level 6?' The internal thought of the class was this before splitting into 2 other thoughts.
'That's so low!'
'That's so high!'
"That was wonderful Hanami!" Ironpaw replied matching her energy.
"Thanks sir ironpaw!!" She saluted jokingly.
"We'll proceed quickly so we have enough time for games!" He announced, before glancing at the student who was frantically writing notes.
"…"
*scribble scribbles
"Ahem!" Pronounced Hanami.
"Oh- uh- sorry!" The boy with unique turquoise eyes dropped his pen in panic, his messy dark blue hair hiding the deep red shade of his face, "I'm Michizane Keito!" His voice came out slightly squeaky but everyone stayed quiet under the watchful eye of Ironpaw. "My quirk is trajectory sight, I can see the most likely path of objects and people! Its a… level 4.6" his voice dimmed considerably when mentioning it's level.
All eyes shifted to the next person.
Very slowly, as if having ample time to take get his head of his desk, take off his headphones and to stand up. "Otanashi Hibiki, Vibration manipulation, as it sounds, level 8," He spoke in bursts as if a robot, before taking his headphones from his shoulders onto his ears and resuming his previous position.
'Level…'
"8???'
Everyone stared at this boy with intensity. Although quirk level didn't rank how amazing someone was, it ranked potential, versatility and overall power. Meaning from the people mentioned so far, including the pro hero ironpaw, this kid when fully realized will be the most powerful one.
'I feel bad for everyone after him, they will be viewed with less grace due to the level difference,' Kaen scowled.
Standing up with her hip popped in one place, her hand resting on the exaggerated hip with her bubble gum on full blow, "I'm Hayami Rinko, my quirk is momentum shift, I'm able to steal the momentum of people or things that aren't myself." It was hard to make out most the words she said as they were inbetween and during chews.
She was about to sit down before seeing everyone still watching her attentively.
A very slow deep eye roll before "level 7.3."
As soon as Hayami touched her seat another Boy shot up with military like stiffness. "Tomari shun! Quirk, checkpoint, I can place marks that let me return to a place indefinitely!" He then glanced at keito and nodded before announcing, " level 4.2."
Brilliant white wings wrapped around a beautiful boy, His hair flowing with non existent wind. "Amane seraph, my quirk is guardian angel, anyone in possession of my feather gets a shield and a boost in regeneration," his smile provided warmth similar to Hanami. "My purity percentage is 66.6%," he calmly added before gracefully sitting down.
'He must have measured his quirk at a high end area for the resolution to be 0.1%' Hozumi Pondered
"…"
Everyone glanced at the boy currently just sat down, not even looking at anything besides his desk.
"It's your turn dear seatmate," Amane Added, his tone calm and reassuring.
"I'm the strongest. That's all people like you need to know." His voice was directed at his desk still, as if refusing to acknowledge he has classmates.
"Sigh* Kuma Arata, a quirk allowing him to wrap place in a localized point, Level 7" Explained Ironpaw to the class, his eyes tracking the 50 page document explaination of his students, his face in slight disappointment.
"Uh- I'm… umm… Aoi Kumo." Her voice barely audible to her own voice, "5.3 level quirk," she instantly sat down, not even explaining her quirk, probably due to it being very obvious in appearance.
Ironpaw had a fient frown on his face as he saw Aoi.
"Nagisa mizuno, quirk is liquification, I can become water," She didn't even get up for the introduction, just laying back on her chair, her neck loose letting her head hang with her eyes closed. "5.5."
"Kaido Genta," The tall boy spoke, staring at his fingers while speaking, "My quirk is called punishment doll, my Doll can tank damage for me," he explained, seeming more confident the more he discussed his quirk. "My quirk level is 7.6!"
"I'm kurogane hayato, my quirk is a body enhancement quirk." His fists clenched so hard his palm and knuckles began changing shades. "I'm a level 2."
'How did he even make it in?'
'The new entrance exams let people like that slip by,'
'Pathetic,'
"Wow, you must he really smart and creative!" Hanami explained, her smile on full blast.
"I just work hard." His scowl was a perfect equal to Hanami's smile.
"I Am. Kanzaki Rei. Pleasure to. Meet you." A doll like face spoke, clearly not used to speaking publicly. "My quirk. Assimilation. Allows me. To fuse. Giving a. Buff." She was not blinking or moving, her mouth occasionally seemed delayed. "Quirk level. 6.2."
"Ishida medusa, quirk petrifcation sight, quirk level 5," she didn't even pull off her sleepimg bag, her mumbling barely audible.
"I am Hoshino Akari!!" She explained in excitement, "my work is crystallization, I'd love if we all became great friends!!" She added before looking at Hanami and waving, her joy spreading around the room.
Hanami returned it with even more enthusiasm, truly cementing who the main characters of 1-B will be.
"Oh! And my quirk level is 6.78!" She quickly noted.
"Tetsuya Ren, my quirk is magnetism," he made his steel balls levitate and move around the class, marking the first demonstration of quirks. "Level 8."
Although more focused on his music, Hibiki did take a slight glance at the man supposed to be his equal in level, sizing him up.
For a man who ignores everyone, Kuma was paying way more attention, his hands clenching anytime someone mentioned a quirk level higher than his.
'Wow, having level 8 people in our class feels so surreal!' Hanami was kicking her legs under the seat in excitement.
"I'm Bakugo Kaen, my quirk is Demon foot, I can release explosions and fire from my lower half, my quirk level is 7.9," his gaze was zoned out. He slowly refocused before adding "It's a pleasure to meet you all!" He waved at the class, earning a few chuckles.
"I'm Hozumi ritsuto, my quirk is oathmaker, I can place conditions on people and places," his quirk describtion puzzeled a lot of people, but they decided not to speak up. "My quirk level is 8.5."
"…"
Everyone who was or wasn't payint attention initially was now staring at him with overwhelming intensity.
Ironpaw scanned his stack of papers, seeing 3 dedicated to just Hozumi's quirk, he realised that this was the student the research team was speaking about.
"Uhhh… Anyway I'm tachibana reina, my quirk is weapon generation, I can turn my body parts into weapons using my body fat," she explained, annoyed that some glances were still being directed at Hozumi. "It's 6.3," she practically whispered to he last part.
'Damn it, this has to be a set up, why the hell is there an 8.5 here or even in our country as a whole, there should be around 1,000 in the world!' Her veins were budging.
"Yo yo yo gentlemen!" He shouted, causing everyone to give weird stare, "and ladies~" he said in a way smoother, calm voice. "Shiraishi Genta at your service!" He did a 2 finger salute, "I have bone manipulation, it's sorta exactly like the name? So yea.. haha," His awkward behavior made a couple of people exchange glances. "Level 6.8!"
He stood up, his collar still flashing, catching a few weird glances. "Daigo Inryoku, my quirk is attraction and repulsion." He looked towards Hozumi with a sadistic smile, "and I'm a level 8.5!" He took a step outside his desk in the direction of Hozumi.
*BZZZZ
Electricity shot through his body, knowing him to the ground.
"He used to be in Juvi but due to principle Deku thinking he has potential, he was released on the condition he attends our class as rehab." These words of Ironpaw caused the class to fall extremely silent. "Sooooo… who want's to play a game?"
"We're okay for now teach, it's about time we got goint, we still need to unpack and get adjusted." Pops and clicks of bubblegum was released inbetween each word.
"Sigh* you're right, Get going all of you, with the exception of Aoi, Hozumi and Daigo," his voice went through disappointment from releasing the students so early, to sympathy, Excitement, and frustration at the names of the students.
"Uh oh…" Hozumi muttered.
Kaen slowly got up, placing his hand on Hozumi's shoulder, "see you in the dorms Ritsuto!" He smiled.
Hozumi was annoyed about hearing his first name but was more focused on another part.
"dorms?"
