Chapter 8

The next day Akina was waiting outside the door to the 1-A classroom. She pulled on her tie to loosen it up a bit as she waited. Earlier that day she had met with the home room teacher, Aizawa Shouta. He had been badly injured during the USJ incident and was in the hospital for the past two days which was why she hadn't met him personally before today, though going by the bandages he was covered in he was still recovering from his injuries.

As she waited, Akina listening in on what was happening through the doorway.

"Mr. Aizawa!" A male's voice exclaimed, "I'm glad you're okay!"

"You call that okay?" A girl's voice asked.

"My well being is irrelevant. I have two important announcements today. First off, we're going to be gaining a new student, Miss Hayashi, please come in."

"Yes sir!" Akina exclaimed. She opened the door and stepped inside, feeling the class' eyes on her.

"This is Hayashi Akina. Starting today she will be your classmate."

"It's a pleasure to meet you all!" Akina exclaimed, giving the class a small bow. She had agreed with the faculty that her working as extra security would be kept from the students, unless it was absolutely necessary for them to know.

"What the hell are you doing here!?" A familiar voice shouted, and Akina looked over towards the explosive blond she had seen when she first arrived.

"Oh! Hey! Didn't expect to be seeing you here, Hedgehog." Akina said, waving at him. "Though I guess it makes sense, you are part of this class."

"You know this girl, Bakugo?" A boy that smelled like lightning asked.

"Of course I do. She was one of the fuckers at the USJ."

"You mean she's a villain!?" A boy with grape-like hair exclaimed in fear.

"I'm afraid that was a misunderstanding. I don't actually have any affiliation with those villains." She smiled and clapped her hands together. "I was brought there against my will and had no say in it. I guess you could say I was kidnapped!"

She said that so casually! The class thought in synch.

"I don't buy it, you gotta be a villain!"

"Wanna fight to settle this, then? Looser has to admit he's wrong." Akina said, a dark aura surrounding her.

Bakugo jumped out of his seat, a wide grin on his face and his hands holding small explosions in it- until there was nothing.

"Bakugo. Hayashi, You two can settle this later." Mr Aizawa said, and Akina looked back at him to see his eyes glowing red and his hair flying up in the air.

Bakugo scoffed and slumped back into his chair. "Fine. Whatever."

"Anyone who has questions for Miss Hayashi can ask them after lunch. Hayashi, you're sitting in the back, behind Yaoyorozu."

A girl with a black ponytail raised her hand and Akina smiled, walking down the row and sitting down in the empty desk.

"All right, enough of that. What's more important is that your fight isn't over yet." He paused and Akina could feel tension rising in the classroom. "The UA Sports festival is about to start."

"Ah! Why would you scare us like that?" Everyone shouted, the tension getting replaced by excitement.

"What's the Sports Festival?" Akina asked as the class started to chat excitedly.

"You've never heard of the Sports Festival before?" Yaoyorozu asked, evident shock on her face. When she saw Akina's look of confusion, she started to explain it to her. "Well, to put it simply it's a Festival that U.A puts on every year. Each class in each grade participates. It's different every year but it's normally two competitions followed by a one on one match."

"Oh, so it's like the Grand Magic Games!" Akina exclaimed.

'The what games?"

Akina shook her head, "Don't worry about it. Thanks for explaining it to me."

Aizawa cleared his throat, quieting the class down. It seemed that some of the students were questioning if it was a smart idea to still hold the festival even after the villain attack. "Apparently the administration thinks this is a good way to show that the threat has been handled and our school is safer than ever. Plus, they're strengthening security this year compared to past years. This event is a huge opportunity for all students at UA. It's not something we can cancel because of a few villains. Our sports festival is one of the most watched events in the entire world. In the past, everyone obsessed over the Olympic Games, but then quirks started appearing. Now the olympics have been dragging and reduced in terms of scale and viewership. For anyone who cares about competition, there's only one tournament that matters. The UA Sports Fesival."

"That's right, and top heroes everywhere will be watching." Yaoyorozu said, "This is where you get scouted."

"Sure, unless you're dead." Grape boy said quietly.

"She's right." Lightning boy agreed, "After graduating, a lot of people join pro industries as a sidekick."

"Yeah, but that's as far a some people go." A girl with strange looking earlobes said. "They miss their chance to go independent and stay eternally side kicks." She then looked at Lightning boy, "Actually, that's probably where you're headed. You're kinda dumb."

"It's true that joining a famous hero agency can grant you greater experiences for popularity. That's why the festival matters. If you wanna go pro one day, this event can open a path for you. One chance a year, three chances in a life time, no aspiring hero can afford to miss this festival. That means you'd better not slack off on your training." Aizawa said, getting the class' attention back on him.

"Yes sir!"

"Class is dismissed."

Once lunch started, Akina was swarmed with introductions and questions. Students wanted to know everything they could about her, and as a result they had crowded her the moment the nightmare bell sounded.

"What's you're quirk?"

"Why were you at the USJ?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Can I see your boo-" That last question was cut off.

"Everyone stop crowding her! She can't answer all your questions at once!" A boy said, zooming between Akina and the crowd of students.

"Thank you." Akina said. She was used to people swarming her, since she was a mage of Fairy Tail and all, but she was grateful for the boy's help nonetheless.

"It's not a problem. It's my duty as class rep to make sure there is order within the classroom." He smiled and turned toward her, placing a hand over his chest. "My name is Iida Tenya, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Pleasure to meet you as well, Iida." Akina said, then turned to the class, "Now that it's quiet, I'll answer your questions. My quirk is called Ultimate Nature. Pretty much I can control and generate almost all things nature."

"Woah, that's an amazing quirk!" A boy exclaimed, his eyes shining as he wrote something down in his notebook.

"Why was I at the USJ? I have no clue, honestly. I was just kind of warped there all of a sudden by that mist man. And no, I don't have a boyfriend- nor am I currently looking for one." She turned to the kid who asked the last question, a dark smile on her face, "And absolutely not, and if you try anything funny I swear to Mavis I will punch you so hard that you'll be seeing stars for the next three months."

"Woah, she got you good." The girl with the earlobes— Jiro— said, looking at the grape boy— Mineta and laughing.

"For a girl you're quite manly!" A voice said and Akina whirled to look at who had just spoken, only to see Kirishima she had seen at the USJ. She could of sworn he sounded almost like Elfman.

"Ah, thanks." Akina said, placing a hand on the back of her neck.

"Well, it you don't have a boyfriend, why not go out on a date with me?" Kaminari asked.

"Sorry, I'll pass." Akina said bluntly, watching as the blond fell into a gloom and the boy with weird elbows, Sero, comforted him. In a way Kaminari reminded her of a less experienced Eve. She stood up and and gave the class a smile, "I'd love to answer more questions but I'm a bit hungry, hope you don't mind me getting some food!"

"Of course not, it was rude of us to keep you." Iida said.

She nodded and walked through the crowd and into the hallway. She let out a sigh and walked through the hallway. "I hope I can get some fruit..." she muttered as she headed to the the cafeteria.
