Chapter 2

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

[By the way, my name is Kumagawa Misogi.] the smiling teen said as he introduced himself. [What's yours?]

"Midoriya Izuku." responded the green-haired teen.

[Nice to meet you Midoriya-san! I look forward to the fun we'll be having in the future.]

"Fun?" Izuku repeated in confusion.

[Is that not the purpose of school?] Kumagawa asked in genuine sincerity. [Fun comes first, learning comes second.]

"Err, I think it's supposed to be the other way around." Izuku corrected.

Kumagawa paused for a moment before lighting bopping himself on the side of the head with his knuckles. [Of course! I always get things like that mixed up.]

Before Izuku got a chance to ponder Kumagawa's answer, the other teen spoke up again.

[It looks like this is the place.]

Izuku swiveled his head forward to face the same direction that Kumagawa was facing. In front of them was a large- no- an enormous door with '1A' marked on it. "I guess it's big for people with Quirks that make them large." mused Izuku. 'Only 37 kids passed the exam to get into the Hero Course, plus 4 students who got in on recommendations... 21 kids in class 1A and 20 kids in class 1B. These guys are the best of the best to become heroes... And now I'm among them.'

Sensing his hesitation to step forward, Kumagawa turned to Izuku. [Is something the matter Midoriya-san? You seem a little tense.]

Izuku turned with a start, realizing he was lost in thought and Kumagawa was being kind enough to wait for him. "I-It's nothing. Just the reality of the situation is finally sinking in for me." answered the nervous teen. In actuality however, he was also dreading to find out who was in his class. 'Kumagawa and I make 2, which means there's still another 19 kids in the same class as me. I just hope Kacchan and that stern boy with the glasses are in class 1B.' he prayed in his head as he grabbed the doorknob and turned it.

Pushing the door in slowly, Izuku peered in.

"Remove your feet from the desk this instant!" came the voice of the glasses wearing teen from the other day.

Izuku didn't even need to utilize his high intellect to realize who the person he was yelling at was.

"Don't you think that's disrespectful to your classmates?!"

Katsuki sneered at the teen in response. "No, as a matter of fact, I don't think so. Which middle school are you from anyway, you side character?!" the blonde taunted.

The glasses wearing teen held his hands up stiffly, not unlike a robot. "I attended Soumei Private Academy. My name is Iida Tenya."

"Soumei~!" Katsuki drawled out before scowling. "Well aren't you an elite. Looks like I got a reason to crush your ass after all!"

"C-Crush me?!" he blurted out in shock at the words of his fellow classmate. "What nerve! And yet you come here with the intent to become a hero?!"

At this point, both boys noticed Izuku hovering by the door nervously with Kumagawa standing behind him. Iida immediately approached, much to Izuku's discomfort.

"Greeting. My name is-"
