Episode 2

Midnight slowly woke up to her alarm, stretching before shutting it off. She yawned and made a big stretch, looking g next to her seeing the bed was empty.

Midnight: Hm???... a... d-dream...?

She then noticed the faded bite marks on her bare chest.

Midnight: No... hmmmm, good~...

She smiles, getting up, dressed, doing her hair and heading downstairs. She came down to the kitchen, seeing Simon sitting at the table with Xandra asleep next to him. But now, a new girl was present.

Midnight: Good morning!~

She yawns.

Simon: Hey! Sleep well?

The hero nods.

Midnight: She one of yours?

She asks, pointing at the new girl.

Simon: Yeah! This is Shifty!

Shifty: Yo.

Simon: She can turn elements into other elements! She made me this!

He held up a smoothie.

Midnight: Huh, interesting. So, want me to make you something for breakfast?

Simon: Oh, s-sure! I haven't had earth food in eight years!

He says excitedly. Midnight smiled, a bit nervous from the situation. She was only informed on aliens a few weeks ago so to have the guy actually from space blow her back out and stay for breakfast was a LITTLE weird to her.

Midnight: So, what do you want? Waffles? Pancakes? Bacon?

Simon: Well, whatever you want really!

Midnight: Alright, a little bit of everything it is!

She made a large breakfast plate for her guest, the boy happily licking the plate clean before they head out for school. Simon had a uniform- which he didn't really like- and walked into school carrying a bag in one hand and with Xandra on his back- not in uniform, but instead a hoodie and sweatpants- earning a few confused looks from other students, but didn't really care. He noticed everyone wore uniforms like his, some with skirts instead of pants.

His eyes suddenly land on a scene, a girl tripping over her own feet and falling. Simon, instinctively, ran while still holding everything and caught her by the back of her sweater.

Simon: You okay?

The girl looked up at him.

Girl: I-I... umm... u-uhh...

Simon helped her up.

Simon: Gotta get to class now, see ya around cutie!

He says before leaving the flustered girl to her own devices. He made it into the actual building, walking to find his designated class: 1-A.

Girl: W-Wait up!

Simon: Hm?

He looks back, seeing the girl from before running up to him with a blush on her face.

Simon: Oh. Miss me already?

Girl: S-Sorry about earlier! I-I just... uhh... I-I'm not that g-good with people...

Simon: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to overwhelm you!

Girl: N-No it's my fault, really!

She offers a handshake.

Midoriya: M-My name is Izuki Midoriya! Nice to meet you!

Simon: Simon Tennyson!

He accepted the handshake, then pointing to the woman on his back.

Simon: This is Xandra, she's part of my quirk!

Midoriya: Tennyson... h-hang on! I thought I recognized you!

Simon: Oh, I'm guessing I helped you before?

The girl shakes her head.

Midoriya: Y-You helped my mom, actually. B-But I thought you went missing!

Simon: Eh, not really. Got hurt thanks to some villains but my quirk unlocked and saved me! I've just been practicing for a while now.

Midoriya: Really? Wait. You said she was a part of your quirk!?

She excitedly pulls out a notebook with stars in her eyes.

Midoriya: Tell me everything!!!

Simon: Ehe, maybe later. Kay?

???: Oh, hey! It's falling girl!

Midoriya went right back to blushing, spinning to see another girl approaching them.

Midoriya: H-Hi!

Simon watched the new girl skip over.

Girl: Thought I recognized that messy green hair! Glad to see you made it in!

Midoriya: T-Thank you! Umm-

Ochaco: Ochaco Uraraka!

Her eyes then drifted to Simon and Xandra.

Ochaco: Oh! And who are...

She pauses.

Ochaco:... Do... I know you from somewhere...?

Simon: The name's Tennyson. Simon Tennyson!

The girls eyes suddenly widen.

Ochaco: N-No way... b-but I heard you-

Simon: Nah, just got injured. But I found my quirk and pulled through!

He says with a smile.

Ochaco: Oh, well... by any chance...do you r-remember me?

Simon: I remember everyone I help! You got separated from your folks and I came in and reunited you three, another day of work!

Ochaco:...

The girls face was red. For something that happened a near decade ago, she was surprised he had remembered her.

Simon: Glad to see you're doing well!

Ochaco: Oh, Y-Y'know! I've been... eating...?

Simon: That's good!

He chuckled.

Ochaco: So. Who is... she?

She asks, pointing at Xandra.

Simon: This is Xandra, she's part of my quirk.

Ochaco: Wait, really?

Simon: Yeah! I'll explain it when it comes up in class. Alright?

Ochaco: O-Okay!

Midoriya looked disappointed again, but followed the others as they walk to class.

Simon; So, what class did you get?

Ochaco: 1-A.

Midoriya: Me t-too.

Simon: Huh, funny! Same here!

Ochaco: No way!

Ochaco(thinking): Yes!!!

They reach the classroom and open the door to find a mostly filled room. The center of attention right now however, were a pair if students in an argument.

Blue Hair: Get your feet off the desk this instant!

Blonde: What are you gonna do about it four eyes!?

Simon(thinking): Ah, trouble maker meets teachers pet.

He glances behind him and saw Midoriya with a nervous look, one telling Simon she possibly knew one of them. He sighs and walks over to the two, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder.

Simon: Don't worry, the teacher will be here soon and I'm sure they'll tell her off. Don't stress yourself out man!

Simon was expecting him to calm down or stop off, but instead his attention turned on him.

Blue Hair: What are you talking about!? It's our duty as students here at B.U.A. to show basic respect to our school and its property! Speaking of, that girl on your back isn't in uniform! And sleeping on day one isn't a good look either!

Simon: Okay, here we go. Yes, but you should hear that from a teacher, not some imaginary rule book you came up with. Secondly, she isn't a student she's part of my quirk so those rules don't apply to her.

Blue Hair: She's-

The boy straightened his posture.

Iida: Apologies, allow me to introduce myself. Tenya Iida, a pleasure!

Simon: Ah, you're related to Ingenium then?

Iida: Indeed! Thank you for noticing!

Midoriya: Ingenium!?

The girl asks, suddenly running over next to Simon.

Midoriya: Really!?

Blonde: Oh great, of course you'd end up here Deku!!!

???: Ehem!

Suddenly, everyone's attention was caught by a pink, caterpillar-like object inching into the classroom.

???: Class has already started...

It stood up, now revealing it was a tired looking man in a sleeping bag.

Tired Man: And yet you're all out of seat and talking.

He slid out of the bag.

Tired Man; Get to your seats. Now.

Iida was the first to sit down, quickly followed by Midoriya and Ochaco, finally Simon who set Xandra down on an extra chair they had left out for her. The tired man took a sip from his bottle of strawberry milk, now facing the whole class.

Aizawa: I am your home room teacher. You will refer to me as Mr. Aizawa. If you're here to make friends you came to the wrong school. This is BUA's hero/hunter course, not daycare. I expect your full focus and attention. Nothing less.

He looks to the blonde.

Aizawa: Mrs. Bakugo, feet off the desk unless you're willing to get expelled.

The blonde girl- Bakugo- sighs and sat normally. Aizawa walks over to the teacher's desk, pulling a box out from under it and placing it on top.

Aizawa: These are temporary uniforms. Change in the bathroom, put them on and meet me outside for a power assessment test within the next ten minutes.

And without another word he left the classroom, leaving everyone confused.

Simon: No nonsense, I like it!

He quickly got Xandra on his back again before quickly grabbing a uniform and rushing off to get to the power assessment test, soon followed by Iida and then the rest of the class.

Later—

Now all outside in matching jumpsuits (Except for Xandra who was asleep on a nearby bench), the class stood across from Aizawa.

Aizawa: The problem with the rest of the school system is they try and make everything "fair". That's stupid. Natural disasters, Grimm attacks, villains, they don't care what is it isn't fair.

His eyes drift to Simon

Aizawa: Simon Tennyson.

A few people shifted or started looking around after hearing that name.

Aizawa: You got invited to join here on recommendation alone, apparently good enough to skip the entrance exam.

He pulls out a rectangular device along with a fancy looking baseball.

Aizawa: Do you remember how far your softball pitch was in junior high?

Simon: Uhhh... 100... 110ish?

Aizawa: Alright. I want you to do it again, but this time use your quick.

He says, holding the ball out. Simon walks over and took it, stepping onto the base.

Aizawa: You can do whatever you want, just don't leave the square.

Simon nods, pulling up the dial of the Chaquetrix.

Simon: Hmmm... I'll go with Becca!

He pushes the dial down and with a pink flash a large, muscular girl with four arms appears.

Becca: Sup boss?

Simon: Hey Becca, throw this for me!

He hands her the ball.

Becca: We've got a target?

Simon: Nah, just as far as you can!

Becca: Sure thing!

She took the ball into one hand, posed, reeled her arm back and rose her leg up, releasing a throw that made the air go from still to heavy winds, scattering dust as the ball rockets away from them.

Aizawa: ... hmm... you broke it.

Simon: We did?

Becca: I-Is that good? Did I throw it too far!?

Aizawa: No, that was good. Just confirms what I was hoping.

He turns back to the class.

Aizawa: The ball only loses connection if it hits something wet meaning it either landed in a lake, the ocean, or a pool. The nearest lake in that direction is thousands of kilometres away, that's not even mentioning the ocean. It is possible it landed in a pool, but that means it crossed the emerald forest. That's around 2400 kilometres in that direction...

He sighs.

Aizawa: The fact he was graded on that first score is pitiful, and is why I don't want any of you holding back. Throw hard, punch harder, kick hardest. You understand?

Class 1-A: Yes sir!

Aizawa: Everyone else will now take turns doing the same ball throw, thankfully I have back-ups.

He says, pulling another out from his scarf.

Aizawa: You will go through several strength tests like this one. Whoever scores the lowest, gets expelled outright.

The sentence made everyone extremely worried.

Aizawa: Alright, let's begin.

He started calling up students to do the test while everyone else watches.

Bakugo: Tennyson. Right?

Simon glances to his side, seeing the girl with a ticked off expression.

Simon: Yeah. Bakugo. Right?

Bakugo: I remember you. Quirkless kid doing random acts of charity.

Simon: Yeah, that's me! I remember you too I think. Your mom was asking you to help carry in some groceries but you refused, so I decided to help.

Bakugo: Yeah... I respected you for that. Doing good for the world while staying in your lane. I know someone who should have done the same...

She says, not-so subtlety glaring at Midoriya.

Bakugo: So... who was she exactly?

Simon: Part of my quirk. Turns out I just needed a support item to activate it! To sugar coat it, I can summon actual heroes to do stuff. So I'm still basically quirkless anyway.

He shrugs.

Bakugo; Hmm...

Aizawa: Next.

Bakugo took the chance to go, marching up to the base and grabbing the ball, planting her feet and reeling an arm back, lifting her leg up and just like Becca, threw it. But unlike Becca, a massive explosion forms in the girls hand and launched the ball into the forest.

Aizawa: 2100.

Bakugo grit her teeth, but marched back to the group. Up next was Midoriya, who nervously approached the base. She took a ball and pulled her arm back. Her arm seemed to glow and spark pink electricity before she threw it. But suddenly, her arm turned to normal. She threw the ball but it only went a few feet. Everyone- Midoriya included- were surprised by this.

Aizawa: What. Were you gonna ruin your arm again?

Everyone looks to see his scarf was floating around him, now tinted pink along with his hair, eyes, and cheeks glowing the same color.

Aizawa: So?

Midoriya: Your E-Eraser Head! The Eraser hero! That means...

She looks at her hand, seemingly relieved.

Aizawa: I erased your quirk. Yes. I saw what you did in the entrance exam. You broke both your legs and your left arm. Do that here, and you're expelled.

Midoriya was sweating a little, but nods. She looks down at her hand and sighs, pulling her arm back. On one swift motion, the ball rockets through the sky. The winds blew ten times as hard as when Becca threw it, shocking everyone, especially Bakugo.

Aizawa: Lost connection... hm.

He looks back up at the girl. The cuff of her sleeve on her throwing arm was torn from the force, her index finger a sickly purple color.

Midoriya: I-I d-d-did it! O-Only broke o-o-one f-finger!

Aizawa(mumbling):... this kid...

Simon: Hm... impressive-

Suddenly, Bakugo ran forward with small explosions sparking in her palms.

Bakugo: STUPID DEKU!!!!! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT CRAP!?!?!?!?

But Aizawa was quick to act, grabbing her with his scarf.

Aizawa: Mrs. Bakugo. Another step and you're gone for good. Do not test me.

Bakugo, seething, grit her teeth but gave up. She stumbled back a little before stomping away.

Aizawa: Alright, who's next?

More students went to take their turns while Midoriya went back to the group, clutching her injured hand.

Simon; Hey. Need help with that?

Midoriya: Y-You can help with broken bones?

Simon: Well, Malice can!

He pulled up the dial of the Chaquetrix and in a smaller pink flash, a blob appeared on Simon's arm.

Malice: Hello honey!~

Simon: Hey Malice! Mind helping my friend's hand here?

The blob turns to Izuki, narrowing her eyes.

Midoriya: Whoa!!!

She says with stars in her eyes, fascinated by the creature before her.

Malice: Sure thing!~

She latched onto her hand, making Midoriya jump in surprise. After a second, Malice pulls away and Midoriya's hand was better than before.

Midoriya: I-It feels... great! Thank you!

Malice: My pleasure sweetheart!~

She slithers up Simon's shoulder.

Malice: So, this is that place you were talking about?

Simon: Yup!

Malice looks around at everything.

Malice:... Tacky.

Simon just rolls his eyes.

Later—

Next test was grip strength. Becca and Midoriya shattered their devices, which was a lot since they were made to withstand heavy pressure. The action broke Midoriya's hand, but Malice repaired it for her.

???: Hey!

They look to see a pink girl run over to them.

Pink Girl: You're Simon Tennyson? Like-

Simon: The quirkless boy who ran around helping people? That's me! And if my memory serves me correctly... you're Mina Ashido. Right?

The girl blushed.

Mina: Y-You remember me???

Simon: Of course! You're the cute pink kid who was alone on the playground, sulking cuz none of your friends were there. Then I arrived and cheered you up!

Mina, now extremely flustered, stammers out a response.

Mina: O-Oh, W-W-Wow!... Uhhh... C-Cool quirk!

She says, pointing at Becca to change the conversation.

Simon: Thanks!

Mina: How many can you summon?

Simon:...

He looks at his fingers and quietly mumbles to himself.

Simon:.... 1,000,910- no... 1,000,912 because of Perk, Murk and Queen!... hold on, I scanned some more since then-

Mina:... eh...?

Simon: Hehe, I'll get an answer to ya later!

Later—

Next was a speed test, where a machine recorded them.

Machine: Ready? Go-

*Zoom*

Machine: 0.0000000000000000000001 seconds!

Florence: Yawn! When can we get to the fun part?

She dashed over to Simon, who was helping Malice heal Midoriya's legs, leaving them good as new despite the torn lower pants she now had.

Florence: Yo dude. Was that it?

Simon: Sorry, just needed someone fast. I knew you'd be perfect for the job!

Florence: well... a-alright...

She blushes a little.

???: Yo! Tennyson!

Simon noticed two people approaching him.

Yang: Been a while!

Simon: Oh. Hi Yang! Nice seeing you!

He then gets tackled into a hug by the second girl.

Girl: Simon!!!

Simon: H-Heya Ruby!

He hugs her back.

Simon: What are you doing here!? You skip a year?

Ruby: Yeah yeah yeah! But I can't believe it's really you!!!

She says, hugging Simon tighter.

Simon: Sorry to spook ya!

Ruby: Spook!? I was mortified!!!

Yang: Seriously dude, where'd you go?

Simon: Coma. Then got taken in and trained by a few heroes.

Yang: Huh, that's awesome!

She says excitedly.

Yang: Who took you in?

Simon: It was Midnight. She's been great!

Yang: Oh, really-

Aizawa: Hey.

The sudden appearance of the teacher the students jump in surprise.

Aizawa: I thought I said you weren't here to make friends?

Yang: Sorry, Sorry! C'mon sis!

She says pulling her sister away, much to Ruby's dismay. Aizawa glares at Tennyson before walking away.

Becca: What's his deal?

Simon: No idea.

Malice: May I-

Simon: No you cannot eat him.

Malice: You never let me have any fun!

Later—

They did a few more tests that Simon and Midoriya effortlessly passed until came the final scores. Simon and Midoriya tied for first, with each being better in certain aspects. And the person in last was some kid named Minoru Mineta. But before anyone could even react, Aizawa got rid of the list.

Aizawa: And no one's going home!

Everyone:... huh?

Aizawa: That was a reasonable deception to get all of you to try as hard as possible.

Most of the class seemed confused or even angry, but mostly relieved.

Simon: You guys really thought he would send us home on day one?

Another girl- who Simon recognized as Momo Yaoyorozu- chimed in.

Momo: Yeah... I thought it was obvious... sorry for not telling everyone I guess?

Aizawa: Alright, get changed and head back to class. There will be a course syllabus on my desk, take one and head to your next period while I prepare your individual training plans. Dismissed.

He says, waving his hand before walking away and leaving the confused class to themselves.
