When Sae finally returns to class most of her classmates are less than pleased to see her. What's with those looks? Was the health aid position that popular?

Shaking her head, Sae moves to the opposite side of the class and sits down: Mochizuki in front of her and Todoroki to her right. A few students watch her even after she sits down but most turn their heads away once she passes by.

Atsuhiro sighs, rubbing his temple and stepping to the front of class, his chair shattering the crushing silence. "Everyone is here now, we did introductions while you were away Yamada-san but could you properly introduce yourself to everyone?"

Nodding, Sae stands up from her seat and faces the center of the room. "I apologize for my late introduction for most of you; I am Yamada Sae and will be your health aid for the foreseeable future, so if you're ever in pain or injured you should call on me." Lifting the edges of her skirt ever so slightly, she bows into a small curtsy and returns to her seat.

The response wasn't especially warm: Nakano was seething, Mochizuki and Tokuda seemed annoyed, Isowaki and Shitai barely batted an eye, Todoroki and Aoki glanced at her briefly. Oshigami looks between his classmates and Sae, finally shooting out of his seat and knocking the desk over in the process.

"What's with this grim attitude? Sae-kun, I heard you helped fend off Odd Eye all on your own so Fuujin-kun and Akane-kun could get away!" Dashing towards her desk, he slams his hand down and asks question after question which she responds with confidence and occasional glances at Aoki and Shitai.

"None of this was much really. Aoki-san was able to navigate the school very well and Shitai-san certainly tried to be relevant when possible."

"I was perfectly relevant that entire time, especially at the end. Right Aoki-san?"

"Akane-kun seems to be throwing a silent fit about the election results, haha-!" Oshigami jokes, not noticing Aoki flinching or Mochizuki slamming her fist into his side.

"Way to read the room dumbass!"

"That was a pretty solid punch, not gonna lie!" Usagiyama leans back in her chair, resting her feet on her desk to Tokuda's chagrin.

"Aoki-san didn't get captured right out the gate, like someone else we know, right Oshigami-kun?" Takami laughs, patting Oshigami's back.

The jabs, both physical and verbal, against Oshigami were cut short when a man with long, disheveled black hair steps into the room. "Alright, let's get this done so I can nap. Aizawa Shoto, Eraserhead, I don't really care which you use. I am in charge of civics and you'll figure out the rest later." Aizawa gives a quick glance to Sae, with her giving a firm smile in return. He heads out the door without another word, leaving the class in silence while they wait for the next teacher to walk in.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because of how long the chaotic first 'lesson' was, by the time all the teachers had made their introductions it was already time for dismissal. Everyone began to pack their bags, hurrying to tell their family about their first day and go over their results. Sae's phone vibrates, she pulls it out to see a single text.

Atsu:

Ignoring my folks for today, so I'll most likely head over to your house and try to tell your dad you'll be busy.

Trouble with his family? Well, I'll ask him later and at least Papa should be calm with me being late getting home today.

Pocketing her phone, Sae grabs her bag and starts off for the infirmary. By the time she reaches the door, most of the class has already left or chosen to stick around. When she slides open the door, an arm wraps around her neck and a familiar head of red and black hair pops out from the corner of her eye.

"Sae-kun! Heading off for your nurse duties already?"

"Yes, I shouldn't keep Chisaki-senpai waiting for long."

"Well it's good you have the spirit to help out!" He's loud, way too loud for the regular person to have shouting next to their ear and grabbing their neck. Sae, fortunately or unfortunately, is very familiar with an enthusiastic and loud man yelling in her ear. "But try to be more careful, okay? I know you were just tryin' to be honest to Hajime-kun during the vote but most other people don't see it that way."

Sae blinks, not finding anything to say before Oshigami pats her shoulder and charges back into the room to be yelled at for yelling. I thought we both were a little socially slow, but does he actually have an eye for these things?

Shrugging, Sae steps into the hall but doesn't get far before someone pulls on her jacket collar.

"You need help getting to the infirmary, Yamada-san?" Aoki releases her grasp and rubs the back of her neck. "I still owe you for today, especially after hitting you and all."

Sae smiles, and not a sadistic or worrying smile either, and pulls on Aoki's sleeve to go down the hall. "That's the wrong way Yamada-san! How did you even find your way to class from there?"

"What? Chisaki-senpai may have helped a bit but I mostly did it on my own!" Sae chuckles and follows after Aoki, who has already taken off.

Maybe I've made one friend after all...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yeah, yeah. I know you want us to get more information and not setting an example on the first day looks bad, but giving away too much information is even worse in the long run. From our first impressions though, there are a handful of people that stand out as possible threats. Personally, I'm going to make sure Yamada Sae isn't out of either of our sights for too long. She's either got a screw loose or will be annoying even if she checks out anyway. We'll see, I guess."

"We understand, keep an eye out for anyone else and inform us if there are any changes. We cannot let threats live, especially when society is already on edge."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Atsu, you completely abandoned me on the train!" Sae busts open the front door, putting up her coat and bag on the nearby rack and carefully setting down her shoes as her father follows suit.

"Welcome back you two. Quite an exciting day, wasn't it?" Atsuhiro is lying on the couch, watching the news program about UA's first day. "We're famous already."

"You may be famous but apparently I'm infamous for wanting to be the health aid for our class! I was supposed to make more friends this year and so far I only have one!"

"Kids these days have such trash tastes! My little girl is already in trouble, so what are we gonna do this time Hiro-kun?"

"Yamada-san, this time we should let Sae figure it out, don't you-!"

"WRONG! Wrong answer you brat!" The man, who has exceptionally tall blonde hair, leaps at Atsuhiro and begins rubbing his knuckles into his head.

Groaning, Atsuhiro manages to slide out of Present Mic's arms. "You know that never works on me. And Sae isn't in trouble, it's just the first day and she already almost has one friend at least." He sighs and makes his way to the kitchen. "Oshigami-san really helped you out today, so make sure to thank him tomorrow." He pulls out a soda from the fridge and heads over to Sae, who is pulling out a notebook from her bag. He reaches his can above her head and taps her forehead in-time with his words: "If. Someone. Helps. You. Say. Thank. You."

"Ow! I know that, I just didn't know he helped until he had already left, I swear!"

Mic pushes himself off the floor, grabbing the remote to change the channel at random, and setting up pots to cook dinner. "Try to get along with Aoki: she's got a good head on her shoulders and helped you out today! Also you're sticking around in the guest room tonight, right Hiro-kun?"

Sae pushes Atsuhiro's can away from her head and darts around him to the table with her papers. "I did thank her today when she helped me get to the infirmary again. She seems to be a bit slow though-"

"Oh, you are not allowed to say that Sae. Should be illegal, honestly."

"Nothing she does can be illegal! Perfect scores, perfect style, perfect effort!"

"You're a biased old man!"

"Damn right I am! I almost lost it today when Odd Eye was assigned to your class, the nerve of that guy acting so extra as a teacher!"

"So that's where Sae's hypocrisy comes from, huh?"

Jotting down random notes on her papers, Sae undoes her ponytail and suddenly most of her hair vanishes, leaving a manageable and cute short cut. "I'm not hypocritical, you just struggle to keep up. Even at the orphanage it took you a while to figure out my clean logic!"

"Walking around with a scalpel and blood on you gives a bad impression, full stop!"

"I was helping."

"It definitely didn't come across that way when the other kids ran away crying. Luckily I caught on but I fear how you'd survive without me."

A ring echoes through the room, Mic tapping a spoon against the pot. "Hiro-kun, could you go pick up some groceries? There isn't enough here for Sae, especially now that she's regularly using her quirk. Just take my wallet out with you."

"I should be able to manage that. Sae, do you want to come with? This is all to satiate that abyss you call a stomach after all."

"It's not my fault it takes a lot of energy to properly maintain a pocket dimension. You all should eat more anyway." Tucking her papers back into a folder, she sets down her bag and pushes her chair in.

"Sae, be careful out there, it's the first day of classes so it could be worse than normal." Mic sets the ladle into the pot, and ruffles Sae's hair.

"If it's such a concern, do you want me to go alone then?"

"You gotta be kidding me, right? Your best quality is being slippery as hell, so just do what you do best and there won't be a problem, ya idiot!" Laughing, he gently knocks on Atsuhiro's head and pushes the two out the door. "I'm not going to be some dragon keeping you inside, I promised that much when I took you in."

Patting the hand on her shoulder, Sae smiles back. "I know, I know. You and Atsu worry too much. I'm a perfect genius aren't I? You'll ruin your hair from all the needless stress."

Atsuhiro chuckles and heads off, leaving the father and daughter on their own for a moment.

It'll be a good night. Like always.
