Author's Note: Okay, so, there are only supposed to be 20 students in each hero class. Counting Ryu, there would be 21 in one class... which wouldn't really work out the best, but, I'm not going to eliminate a character from the story (bc so many of you bnha fans would have heart attacks), so we're just going to say this class has 21 students and roll with it. Okay? Okay. On with the story~
Ryu could feel his heart beat in his chest with anticipation.
'I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.'
He chanted in his head as he saw the front of U.A. High School in the distance.
Without even noticing, he sped up his pace. Ryu padded along the brick entryway towards the building.
He eagerly bounced up the steps and almost tripped as he quickly pushed open the door.
'I'mhereI'mhereI'mhereI'mhereI'mhere.'
Ryu smiled contently to himself, making his way down the hallway.
Suddenly, he noticed a student walking a few feet in front of him.
Realization spread across Ryu's face when he took in the green curly hair of said person.
"Oi! Midoriya-kun!" Ryu called.
Midoriya jumped in surprise before quickly spinning around.
Realization also came upon Midoriya's face when he saw Ryu.
"Ryu! Congratulations on first place!" Midoriya said, backtracking a bit to meet up with Ryu in the hall.
The two continued to walk.
Ryu blushed sheepishly at the compliment. "Me? Come on! You got 8th place just from rescue points!" Ryu praised.
Midoriya also gave a sheepish smile as he nodded. "Yea... I was really surprised... I thought I'd gotten last place." he laughed.
It was easy to tell these two had similar personalities.
Midoriya then turned his attention to the doors on their left. "1-A... 1-A...." he muttered, "This place is too big..."
Ryu beamed. "You're in class 1-A, Midoriya?" he asked.
Midoriya looked back at Ryu. "Hai."
Ryu smiled even bigger and pointed at himself. "So am I!"
Midoriya grinned. "Uwaaaah... that's a relief! At least there'll be someone I know in my class."
"Let's just hope those scary people aren't in there..." Midoriya muttered.
'Scary...? Does he mean Bakugou? It doesn't seem like they get along well...'
"Ah!" Midoriya shouted, "There it is."
Midoriya pointed to a gigantic door with "1-A" printed across it in big red letters.
"That's a really huge door..." Ryu said.
"Is it for... accessibility?" Midoriya suggested.
'For someone with a giraffe quirk?'
Ryu and Midoriya took one last glance at each other before Midoriya slid open the door.
"Don't put your feet on the desk!"
"Hah?"
"Don't you think it's rude to the U.A. upperclassmen and the people who made the desk?"
"Ha! No. What junior high did you go to, you side character?"
Midoriya and Ryu stood in the doorway as Iida and Bakugou spoke with each other.
Ryu could see the sweat drop forming on Midoriya's head.
"I attended Somei Private Academy. My name is Tenya Iida." Iida said.
"Somei?! So you're a damn elite, huh?" Bakugou said, leaning forward in his seat, "Looks like I'll have fun crushing you!"
Iida looked taken aback. "Crushing?" he asked, "That's cruel. Do you truly aim to be a hero?"
"Tch!" Bakugou said, looking away.
Then, suddenly, their eyes came to fall upon Midoriya and Ryu.
Well... almost Ryu... as soon as their heads had started to turn, Ryu had bolted behind the door.
Iida stared at Midoriya. "You're..."
Every eye in the classroom turned to Midoriya.
Nervously, Midoriya looked behind him for support from his friend... only to find himself staring at the empty outline of Ryu.
"R-ryu-kun?!" Midoriya exclaimed.
'Sorry~'
The green haired teen turned back around to face his classmates. "Oh, um..." he looked around nervously.
"Good morning!" Tenya confidently strutted over to Midoriya, "I am from Somei Private Academy! My name is—"
"I heard!" Midoriya said.
Iida stopped.
"U-umm... I'm Midoriya. Nice to meet you, Iida."
"Midoriya. You realized there was something more to that practical exam, didn't you?" Iida asked intensely.
"Eh?" Midoriya questioned quietly.
Iida made a pained expression. "I had no idea... I misjudged you!"
Iida looked away. "I hate to say it, but you are better than me."
Suddenly, a loud noise resounded through the class when something came crashing on top of Midoriya.
Midoriya fell to the ground, flat on his stomach, and looked to see what was above him.
"Ryu-kun?!" Midoriya shouted.
Ryu smiled. "Ohhh? I've reappeared!"
"What are you doing?" Midoriya strained to ask.
Ryu got off of Midoriya's back slowly. "Sorry~ I tripped while I was hiding behind the door."
Midoriya stood up and slouched. "But how did you trip if you were just standing there?!"
However, Midoriya's question was not answered, because it was replaced with a different one.
"Wait... aren't you...?" Iida asked cautiously.
Ryu smiled brightly. "Oh! Sorry! I'm Shinawa Ryu! You can all just call me Ryu~"
The class blinked.
"Hah?! Wait a minute! You're the one that got 140 points on the exam, right?!" Iida asked, energetically moving his arms back and forth in stiff motions.
A small uproar of whispers started within the class. Ryu opened his mouth to answer, but he heard a voice from behind him.
"Oh! That curly hair! You're the plain looking one... and it's that cute girl, too!"
Midoriya and Ryu turned around to see Uraraka standing in front of them.
Ryu grew a small tick mark.
'Girl...? Was she talking about me? She better not have been talking about me...'
She smiled at Midoriya. "You passed, just like Present Mic said!"
She threw her fist in the air, waving it back in forth. "Of course you did! That punch was amazing!"
Midoriya's face went red. "Ahhh— It was thanks to you going to speak with him directly...."
(Meanwhile Uraraka not paying attention and waving her hand around shouting "Break! Break! Break!")
"Huh? How did you know about that?" Uraraka asked.
"Oh.. uh.... that's because—!" Midoriya seemed to struggle for an answer.
Uraraka continued relentlessly chatting with Midoriya. Midoriya however, was covering his face, trying to think of what to say.
"And you!" Uraraka directed her attention to Ryu. "You're that girl who helped me! And you got 1st in the exam!" she said, smiling.
Ryu tried his best to smile and not seem irritated.
"Thanks... but actually, I'm not a—"
"Go somewhere else if you want to play at being friends."
Ryu and the others turned to the hallway. A black haired man was lying on the floor, wrapped up in a yellow sleeping bag.
Ryu's face contorted in horror. "That poor man has been eaten by a banana!" he shouted, pointing at the sleeping bag accusingly.
The sleeping bag unzipped slightly, and the person squeezed out the contents of a packet into his mouth.
Midoriya, Uraraka, and Iida adorned the same expression of horror that was on Ryu's face.
The man stood up, unzipping the sleeping bag completely. "Okay, it took 8 seconds before you were quiet." he stepped out of the yellow sleeping bag, "Time is limited. You kids are not rational enough."
Ryu eyed the man who had miraculously escaped the banana curiously.
'A teacher...? That means he must be a hero—'
Ryu clapped his hands together.
'Eraser Head! I knew I'd seen him somewhere... the banana threw me off...'
Eraser Head's voice droned, and he looked extremely worn out. His eyes were droopy and bloodshot. "I am your home room teacher, Shota Aizawa." he paused, not for emphasis, just out of laziness, "Nice to meet you..."
"It's kind of sudden, but put this on and go out onto the field." Aizawa pulled a P.E. uniform from out of the dead husk of the banana monster.
Ryu tilted his head curiously.
'Hmmm? I wonder...'
Author's Note: Heeeeeyyyyyyyy. Hope you guys liked this chapter! Bakugou is going to irritate me bc I never use language in my stories unless it's an exact quote. XD But I don't want to alter his word choice because that would change his character... lol. (How can Bakugou irritate me anyways? He's too amazing to be mad at, lol.) Anyways, thanks for reading!
