Chapter 1

Getting to U.A was the easy bit, but Izuku simply wasn't prepared for the sheer enormity that was the inside of the building. He raced through the halls in a desperate search to find his classroom before the first bell rang.

"1A... 1A..." he panted as he rounded another corner. "Where the heck is it?!" he cried as he gradually increased his pace. Only to have his efforts rewarded by slamming into something as he turned the next corner without looking. Upon hitting the obstruction, Izuku bounced backwards and landed on his butt. Rubbing his sore face, the green haired teen groaned as he got back up. "Man, who left something in the middle of the hall?" he wondered aloud. Only to find that upon further inspection, the 'something' he hit was actually a 'someone'.

Sprawled out face down on the floor in an undignified heap was another student.

Izuku immediately went into panic mode upon realizing that he had accidently injured another student. "Ahh! I'm sorry sir! Are you alright?!" he cried as he flailed his arms about in his flustered state.

The student on the ground managed to pick himself up and return to his feet. Dusting off his uniform, he turned to face Izuku. [No need to worry. I'm used to much worse.] he said as he accepted Izuku's apology.

Now that he was facing Izuku, the aspiring hero was able to get a better look at the teen. He had short black-hair and blue eyes. Both his height and build were average, as were his looks. The only real thing to note about him, was the overly innocent looking smile on his face.

Snapping himself from his quiet observation, Izuku refocused on the situation at hand. "Regardless, I should've been paying more attention to where I was going. If I had, then I wouldn't have knocked you over. I'm just in a hurry to find my class before I'm late." he said meekly.

[Well, it's nice to see that you are at least owning up to your mistakes. So few people nowadays are willing to admit that they were in the wrong.] the teen responded without dropping his smile.

"I-I suppose you're right..." muttered Izuku. "Umm, you wouldn't happen to know where 1A's classroom is?"

A flash of recognition worked its way across the teens face. [Ah! You are part of class 1A too?] he asked.

Izuku nodded hesitantly.

[What a coincidence! So am I. This means we can head to class together.] he beamed as he gestured for Izuku to follow him.

"A-ah! Wait up!" Izuku called out as the teen already began making his way down the hall.
