Monday, early morning.
Renault woke up early, finished his morning exercise, and changed into the uniform of U.A. High School. He stood in front of his grandparents' photo in the living room on the second floor.
"I know you guys must be complaining about me not listening to you. But I know that if I don't take this step, I may regret it for the rest of my life. So don't worry, I will live well and become a hero that the world will admire."
Taking a deep breath, Renault picked up his backpack from the chair and left the living room.
"I'm leaving."
Today is the day for U.A. High School's new student enrollment, but the school does not have a boarding system. The students are all-day students. However, Renault did not see many second and third-year students on the way to school. Are they on an internship? It seems that U.A.'s practical courses are quite a lot.
Without riding a bike, Renault took the bus as usual and arrived at the station near U.A. Then he walked and entered the school gate.
He didn't know if there would be a school entrance ceremony like a regular high school. Renault was very resistant to it. After all, it was uncomfortable to listen to school leaders giving meaningless speeches on the podium.
The enrollment notice indicated the location of the Hero Department 1-A, so Renault wouldn't get lost.
However, as soon as he arrived here and before he got to the classroom door, Renault saw a few people at the entrance, talking excitedly.
"I wonder what kind of teachers we'll have? Will there be an enrollment ceremony or any activities on campus today...?"
"Click!"
The sound of the shutter made the girl's words stop abruptly. Midoriya Izuku, who was standing in front of her, also reacted and turned to look at Renault.
"Oh, it's you!" Midoriya Izuku recognized Renault at a glance. After all, that incident was still fresh in his memory. At the time, Midoriya Izuku had wondered if Renault was a Pro Hero from somewhere, but now he knew that he was also a new student at U.A. High School.
"Hey! Long time no see, you're full of energy. Your performance in the exam was impressive," Renault greeted Midoriya Izuku and the brown-haired girl with a camera in hand, then walked past them into the classroom and took a photo of the class.
"It seems like everyone's here. Nice to meet you all," Renault said, smiling.
The bespectacled boy standing on the side looked at Renault with a serious expression. "Renault, the first place in the entrance exam."
"The first place?!" Midoriya Izuku exclaimed when he heard this.
"It's not a big deal. We're all on the same starting line now that we're here," Renault said, waving his hand.
Just then, a disheveled man with bloodshot eyes and a sleeping bag appeared at the classroom door.
"Are you our teacher?" Renault asked.
"Hmm?"
"When did he arrive?"
"This is the teacher?"
"Let's cut out the meaningless chatter. This is the Hero Department, not a kindergarten," the man said as he slowly got up and walked into the classroom. He then looked at Renault, who had taken his seat at the back of the classroom, and said, "Don't take pictures in the classroom without permission. I won't punish you this time."
Renault shrugged and put away his camera.
Looking around the classroom, the man said, "I am your homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shota. Nice to meet you all."
"Ah!"
"He's really our teacher!"
No one had guessed that this strange-looking man, who seemed apathetic, was actually a Pro Hero and their homeroom teacher.
Renault, on the other hand, didn't feel anything about it. He was currently observing his future classmates in the classroom. He found that there were many interesting people here.
For example, there was a person sitting in the first row who could only see their clothes and nothing else. Based on their attire, it was a girl. Her Quirk was probably a passive type.
Then there was the guy in front of him with a crow-like head and a small boy with several grape-like round balls on his head.
Renault sat in the second-to-last seat on the left side. The two people on either side of him had their eyes on him.
On his left was a tall girl with a single ponytail. On his right was a handsome-looking boy with half-white and half-red hair, but there was a scar above his left eye that made him look quite cold.
Renault had seen everyone else present at the previous test to some extent, but these two didn't leave any impression on him.
'Are they the recommended students? They seem to be very talented.'
Renault thought to himself and nodded at the two in turn. These two were also very curious about Renault. Their family backgrounds were both excellent, and they knew a lot of things that other students didn't, such as the names and Quirks of the top students in this entrance exam.
Renault's quirk, Vector Manipulation, is not a simple or common ability. If it is developed well, its power can be very terrifying. Compared to the boy next to Renault, the girl on his left is even more curious about his ability. This is because she saw Renault put his camera in his pocket and the camera disappeared. At that time, she thought his quirk was a space-type one but later found out that it was Vector Manipulation.
'Multiple Quirks?'
This guess is absolutely impossible, the girl immediately denied it. What kind of skill or special item is it then? She thought, should she wait until she gets to know everyone in the class before asking? After all, knowing the principle might be applicable to her own Quirk.
At this time, the homeroom teacher, Aizawa Shota, slowly took out a dark blue tracksuit from his sleeping bag and said to everyone, "Don't waste time, put this on and come to the P.E. Grounds."
No entrance ceremony? And no opening speech for the start of the school year? Renault was very happy.
When he got up and prepared to get the tracksuit, a foot stretched out in front of him and stopped him. It was the tea-haired boy, looking like a delinquent, staring at him.
"Is there something wrong?"
"First place? Hmph, I'll let you see who the real first place is."
After speaking, the guy got up and walked out of the classroom.
At this time, the girl on Renault's left walked up from behind and said to him, "That's the second place in the entrance exam, Bakugo Katsuki, his quirk is Explosion, and he's a hot-headed person. It seems like he's a bit unsatisfied with you getting first place."
Standing in front of Renault, the girl extended her right hand and smiled, "I am Yaoyorozu Momo, my Quirk is Creation. Nice to meet you."
"Renault, my quirk is Vector Manipulation. Nice to meet you," Renault gently shook the girl's hand and smiled.
