Demon

"To think Aiden's actually acting like a class rep." Sero said with hands behind his head.

"I know right!" Kirishima grinned

"Are we really going to ignore what he said the other day?" Ojiro muttered unable to believe that his classmates were brushing over the kind of hero their class rep said he was striving to become.

"You mean the whole symbol of fear thing?" Toru slowed down and caught up with the boys.

"Yes." Ojiro nodded.

"Meh." Kirishima shrugged. "Its not like it'll be a bad thing."

"But doesn't it sound kinda villain-like?" Toru spoke up.

"Depends on how you look at it."

Right now, Aiden, Mina and several members of class 1-A were dressed in their casual clothes and were on their way to meet a couple members of class 1-B. Since Aiden had been tricked into accepting Kendo's invite, he was forced to find some members of class 1-A to come with him so the two classes could interact. Because of this, he chose the ones most likely to get along with strangers. Mina's bubbly personality was infectious, Kirishima's vigor was inspiring, Sero's laid back attitude was relaxing, Ojiro's stoic but kind nature made it easier for people to get along with him, and Toru upbeat outlook on life was charming.

Only Aiden didn't know why he also had to come along. According to Kendo it was imperative that he join them, and since he never goes back on his word... here he is.

"There they are!!" Mina pulled his arm and pointed ahead.

Standing next to a fountain, Kendo and a couple members of class 1-B were waving at them.

'*Sigh* Lets get this over with.'

---

"Its you!!" One of the members from class 1-B pointed at him. "The Demon of Class 1-A!"

Not even bothering to look at the guy, Aiden walked passed the students and sat at the edge of the fountain.

Apparently his performance back at the sports festival left such an impact on the audience and other departments of UA that they gave him his own title. THE DEMON OF CLASS 1-A!

"My job was to bring you here to interact with each other... So interact." Closing his eyes, he ignored the sounds around him and started meditating.

Seeing his actions, the members of class 1-B were at a loss for what to do. The students from 1-A on the other hand were used to his anti-social actions and didn't even blink.

"I guess we should introduce ourselves." Kendo said before stepping forward.

"I'm Kendo Itsuka, class representative of class 1-B. Its a pleasure to meet you." She bowed slightly. Next to her, a black haired girl with a expressionless face came forward and introduced herself next.

"Kodai Yui." She also bowed.

"I'm Shoda Nirengeki. Pleasure to meet you again Ojiro-kun." A small boy with ice blue hair bowed.

"I remember you!" Kirishima said after recognizing the boy. "You're the guy who bowed out of the tournament with Ojiro after finding out that Shinso dude did something to get you guys to that stage!"

"Hehe, I'm happy that you still remember me." He chuckled nervously.

The next person to introduce them self was a small blonde haired girl with horns growing out the top of her head. She had a small stature and looked incredibly weak.

"Go ahead." Kendo encouraged her.

Turning to look a the silent Aiden, she clenched her fists and looked at the students from class 1-A.

"I'm Pony Tsunotori! Please take care of me!!" She bowed deeply.

Hearing her voice, Aiden opened his eyes slightly to look at her.

'So she's the reason this whole meeting is happening.'

During his spyi- information gathering, he looked into all of the members of class 1-B and this girl happened to stand out to him. It had nothing to do with her quirk or her threat level, no, she stood out because she was like him. A foreigner from America.

From what he gathered, her Japanese wasn't to great and she was only able to communicate with some guy named Honenuki Juzo due to him being bilingual.

It was only after he saw her here that he understood Kendo's true intentions behind this gathering. She was trying to make him interact with her so that she wouldn't feel to alone.

Unfortunately, Aiden's attitude towards that involved a big middle finger.

"Um... Nice to meet you Aiden-kun." Pony came over and greeted. "I...um... I heard you were from the U.S, and I thought that maybe you'd like to... hang out..." She said the last part in a quiet voice.

Feeling numerous gazes land on him, he sighed and opened his eyes.

"If it's so uncomfortable to speak Japanese then just speak English with me." He said in a dull voice.

"Really!" She said in English.

"Sure." He yawned.

Seeing the two speaking in English, Kendo couldn't help but smile.

"Why don't we get something to eat."

"Heck yeah! I'm starving!" Kirishima agreed.

"I could do with some food." Sero nodded.

"I know this cool cafe!" Mina chimed in.

Now that they had introduced themselves, the students started to get along splendidly.

---

Throughout the whole journey towards the cafe, Pony clung to Aiden and kept asking him about his background. Annoyed with her rambling, he merely smiled and nodded and voiced his opinion once in a while. After spending months with Mina, this skill was essential.

[A/n: Smiling and nodding also works in real life.]

"Dude your quirk's so cool!" Kirishima's voice was heard from the front of the group.

"Its not that great." The midget with ice blue hair said in a small voice.

"Are you kidding! Its awesome!"

"I agree, your quirk is magnificent." Ojiro agreed.

"I'm kinda jealous." Sero said with a smile on his face.

"Motorbikes!" Toru said in shock after learning that Kendo loved motorbikes.

"Yeah, they're kinda cool. Don't ya think so?" Kendo smiled.

"Mm." The black haired Yu nodded.

"Hmm~ I think Aiden once said that he had one back in America." Mina said thoughtlessly.

"REALLY!" Kendo's eyes shined.

Both groups were really starting to bond with each other. Pony especially seemed to enjoy Aiden's company despite his closed of attitude.

"Y'know, back in the sports festival I thought you were very scary."

"Mmm..." He nodded.

"But now that I've spoken to you, I see that you're actually a nice person!"

"Uh huh."

"I really think we can be friends!"

"The best." He said absentmindedly.

Hearing this, Mina's eyes flashed as she suddenly vanished from sight and appeared next to Aiden.

"Where's Mina?"

Grabbing onto his arm, she pulled him to the front.

"Sorry Pony-chan, I forgot where the cafe is and need Aiden to show me the way." She said with a smile.

"Bu-

"Talk to you later, bye!!" Not giving her a chance to respond, she pulled Aiden away without looking back.

The beautiful smell of waifu jealousy.
