Magic.

Akane went to school like normal, as if nothing happened the former day. Well, this time she was dressed as a girl, but who cared. She was walking to school on the roof of building, so she didn't give two shits about that.

Once in the school she found out that she was once again the earliest to arrive here. Well, a little bit of peace before the commotion.

(His Theme (Music Box), cover by Yealt, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp6f3vRY7mc)

She slowly started to hum a melody. Of course, this theme awakened some peculiar feelings in her. As Chara would have said, this theme was about a final reunion, a memory relived after countless of trials. The theme that fitted Asriel Dreemurr, prince of the underground perfectly.

She happily hummed this melody, while slowly walking around the classroom, inspecting each inch of the room.

It was a rather empty room with no unnecessary decorations. There were the windows on the left side of the room, the two doors on the other side of it, the student tables, the blackboard, the teachers desk, the shoe locker for them and a locker for cleaning supplies. Basically, only the bare minimum what was necessary for a classroom.

"Akane? You are already here? What are you doing here? There is still a lot of time left before the first class starts."

Akane chuckled at Momo's question. Seems like she decided not to talk about yesterday again.

"You know, I can ask you the same think, Yao-chan. You are very early too."

"Yao-chan? Aren't we already on a first name basis?"

"Well, I like the feel of you surname on my tongue better, so that's why I chose that nickname for you. Well, or I call you YaoYao if you like that more."

"No, I honestly prefer the first more, Justice-chan."

Both of them looked at each a moment before both of them suddenly started to laugh. Yesterday was that incident, yet they talked about such trivial thing.

"Fair enough, 'Seigi' can indeed be read as 'Justice'."

After that little conversation was uncomfortable silence again.

"Akane, about yesterday..."

Momo just received a light tap on her forehead now. Akane didn't wanted to flick her head just yet.

"Does it really bother you that much that I got 'hurt' yesterday during test? As I already said, that's nothing for me, I am used to it."

"You might say that, but that can't be healthy for you! Getting so many injuries, so many marks on your bodies, I am sure that your bones also sustained long term damages. If you keep that up, you are going to..."

"...kill myself? Is that the conclusion you made after yesterday?"

At first, she wanted to deny it, but at the end she still resigned to nod her head in confirmation. Akane was one of her friends and as that she didn't want to see her hurt herself anymore. She wasn't going to change her opinion on that. What would be the point of becoming a hero if you burn yourself up for that dream?

Suddenly she felt a hand on her hand. Akane was petting her head.

"Momo, that's so sweet of you that you worry about me, but I am sorry, that's the path I chose."

She was getting angry that Akane wasn't taking a hint of her worry. Why did she decide to continue like that when it was so obvious that she didn't want her to destroy herself?

She swiped her hand down from her hand.

"Aren't you listening to a damn word I say?! I am worried about you, and I know that just because I worry about you doesn't make the things I do automatically good, but still! You are walking a path that might as well be suicide! You are just harming yourself with some extra steps! Don't you understand, you shouldn't do this just to prove a point. You shouldn't sacrifice yourself for an impossible dream..."

Momo started to cry, she didn't know what to say to her to make her stop. She didn't even know if what she did was the right thing to do.

"Is that all you have to say? Did you get everything out of your system?"

She was scared to look up. After all, she did deny Akanes dream just now.

"Look me into the face, Yao-chan. I am not angry at you. I understand your point. You are worried about me, right? Worried about the foolish things I do to be strong, right?"

She felt how Akane was touching her cheek. She felt how her chin was grabbed and slowly angled upwards. She was still scared to look Akane in the face, but still, she didn't resist. It felt like she would regret it if she did.

"Momo, look me into the eyes."

She resistantly complied and opened her eyes to meet Akanes eyes.

She was surprised with what she saw. The sight of the two beautiful green marbles in front of her shone with a gentle brilliance as she gazed upon them. She felt soothed, calm.

After a while she realized that something was amiss. Her eyes were green. Weren't they still red just yesterday?

"Momo, let me show you a little secret of mine."

At first, she as confused at what Akane meant, until she cut her palm open.

"Akane! Why did you do..."

Momo observed how the wound on her palm suddenly healed with rapid speed. She was confused at that sight.

"Before you ask, no this isn't a quirk."

"If it isn't a quirk, what else is it?"

Akane just gave her a mysterious smile.

"It's magic."

------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, how many minutes until actual classes are starting, Yao-chan?"

"I came this early to school just to have this talk with you Akane. So, about 39 minutes? Seriously, what's the point in coming SO early to school, I mean I would have understood if you would do this to review..."

Akane put her fingers on Momo's lips to stop her from talking.

"It's because I want to. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go exploring the school a bit."

And so, she stepped out of the classroom and closed to the door. A few meters away from the classroom Akane stopped.

"Aizawa-sensei, don't you know that it is rude to listen in on someone's conversation? Why would you even follow me now? Don't tell me you are a fan of mine? Oh, I would be so proud of myself if a boomer like you loves my music!"

"What the hell are you even talking about? I am not old enough to be a boomer!"

Aizawa just realized what he did, he stood stiff as he realized that he just basically openly admitted that he followed her.

"You cunning girl, you just did that on purpose to lure me out, didn't you?"

No reply, Akane just gave her signature sweet smile.

"Well, you caught me and called out to me, don't tell me you just did that to get a raise out of me?"

"Well, that is one reason why I did that, the other reason is quite a simple one."

She opened her eyes, showing red.

"How much did you listen in to my private conversation. There is no point in lying, you should know that I know the emotions of others just as good as mine. (Understanding them is another problem though.)"

He sighed seeing the girl in front of him. He caught the most troublesome kind of student, the way too perceptive genius. She probably even knew the reason why he did the apprehension test yesterday.

"I only really listened in to the 'magic' part of your conversation. The rest is already hazy."

The girl in front of him just sighed. It seems like he got caught in something troublesome.

"Can you keep the magic a secret for now? I still didn't really progress much with my research and I kind of want to find out the conditions of activation before I come out in public with it."

What, she meant that serious?

"Wait, you really found something that could be classified as magic?"

She opened her palms and suddenly a wave of red energy formed around her palm.

"I just newly awakened this right before the entrance exam. In this moment it basically still does nothing, but..."

Suddenly the energy around her hand formed into a knife before is shattered.

"...as you can see it holds massive potential. You can tell the headmaster about it, but I hope I can trust you too keep this little ability of mine a secret. After all the UA has a reputation for freedom, right?"

Aizawa smiled. The girl was clever, clinging onto the school's reputation and mentioning the headmaster of the school, additionally he also wasn't the biggest fan of how the government acted sometimes. Why the hell should he rat her out?

"Only if you give me a few hints about how to achieve 'magic'."

She smiled at him.

"Emotions, Souls and a good grasp of knowing who you truly are."

------------------------------------------------------------------

Akane was walking back to the classroom 1-A. It was only a couple minutes left before the first lesson and she had the feeling that someone troublesome just arrived.

She opened the doors and was greeted with a heavily enraged Bakugou that grabbed her collar.

"Woah there, buddy. I know I am the shit these days and I have tons of fans. Additionally, we basically know each other, Bakugou, but that still doesn't give you the permission to grab me this way. Now if you could kindly let..."

"DON'T LOOK DOWN ON ME, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"

Katsuki activated his quirk and was about to right-hook Akane. She just met his punch with a headbutt. Akane won this battle.

Katsuki had to let go of her.

"I AM NOT FINISHED WITH YOU YET."

He jumped up and prepared an explosion enhanced axe kick on her. In his rage he miscalculated the amount of sweat he needed, putting too much power into the kick that would have been enough to incinerate the part of the classroom where he would land.

Akane just boldly walked under that kick, taking its brunt force.

"BAKUGOU! You can't do that!"

"Don't you all extras..."

His head was suddenly grabbed. The next moment he realized was the moment where his head was basically smashed into the ground.

"Bakugou, we spent a year together."

She smashed his head again into the ground.

"I know what kind of person you are."

Once again.

"You won't admit defeat, ever! Your pride won't let you."

And again.

"That still doesn't give you the reason to suddenly assault me."

And again.

"Especially considering that we are at school and not any school we are at UA!"

And one last time.

"So, did you cool your head down enough or should I continue?"

"I - cooled - down."

Akane huffed before letting the guy fall on his butt.

"Consider yourself lucky that I took the full brunt of your attack just now, else you would have damaged a lot of school property. I don't know how this schools this will that stuff, but I doubt it would be a light punishment, do you idiot understand?"

Katsuki wanted to reply to her, but the moment he looked at her, he grew flustered.

"Why aren't you answering me? I asked if you understood me!"

She didn't notice, but her uniform burned down after she took Katsukis kick, revealing most of her body. Each boy that arrives until now was either flustered, or very excited, that also counted for the girls.

"Akane?"

"Yes, Yao-chan?"

"Your uniform."

"Seriously? Are you all still getting damn horny seeing my scarred body? Also..."

She pulled on a skin-colored part on her body.

"...it's just my skin-colored bandages. Nothing indecent here."

At this point Mineta just fell unconscious. Akane still didn't understand that even with such a scarred body she was still a world-class beauty. Her skin-colored bandages didn't make it any better.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Lesson start:

A certain loud hero just opened the door to the classroom

"HELLO, YOUR ENGLISH TEACHER..."

He saw Akanes burnt down uniform.

"HOLY MOLY, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR UNIFORM, SEIGI?"

"Oh, that Mic-sensei? Me and Bakugou had some different opinions on something and because he is that hot head that he is, he just decided to attack me. Don't worry though, we sorted it out."

She grabbed Bakugou and latched him into a side-hug, doing all buddy.

"Right, Bakugou?"

"Ye - Yes! We sorted it out."

Katsuki was a bit flustered standing beside the half-exposed Akane. He didn't know how to deal with this situation.

"If you two say so, but we still..."

Akane just grabbed a brand-new uniform from her bag and started spinning to conceal her inventory. To this day she still wondered if other people could see the windows it opened. After she stopped with the spinning she was in her new uniform.

"You said?"

Everyone decided to just ignore that and continued with the English lesson.
