Class 1-A

Ameri

"Uh... M-Midoriya?" I ask nervously.

"Yeah?" He asks.

"Um... w-what's the rest of your class like?" I question.

"Why? Ya scared?!" Bakugo demands.

"N-no!" I defend quickly.

"Relax, Ameri," Arnoux shoves his hands in his pockets and smiles at me, "they can't hurt you if I'm here!"

"Much of training is either solo, or paired randomly." Todoroki says, "It's unlikely you'll be paired together."

"I meant outside of your hero training or whatever," Arnoux replies, "I'm not worried about Ameri getting hurt when he's prepared."

"Scaredy cat..." Bakugo grumbles at me. I flush and avoid looking at anyone.

"Well, everyone in our class is really nice!" Midoriya assures me, "I'm sure they'll be happy to meet you."

Of course... it was the opposite.

When we walked into the classroom, they took one look at me and Arnoux, and half of them ran to the corner while the other half activated their magic, or quirks I guess, and got into fighting positions.

"Whoa!" Midoriya exclaims, waving his hands.

"Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki, what are those strangers doing here?" A boy, with dark blue hair and glasses, asks.

"They are temporarily joining the class until the teachers find a way to get them home." Todoroki says flatly, before walking to his desk.

"What?! But, what if they work for the villians?!" A boy with spiky red hair demands.

"Tch, even if they were they wouldn't be much of a threat." Bakugo retorts, walking over to his desk too, "They're both weaklings."

"Hey!" Arnoux's tail and ears stick up straight as he glares at Bakugo. Mine flatten in fear as they stare at us.

"Guys!" A girl with pink hair and skin, and two bug-like antennae/horns, pushes to the front, smiling brightly, "Mr Aizawa let them join the class, so they must be nice! And strong!"

"Not quite." I look behind me. Mr Aizawa enters the class, "Yes these two boys are joining the class, not because of how strong or nice they are. I'm going to keep an eye on them until we get them back to where they came from. I expect you both to behave yourselves, and the rest of you to treat them like you would your other classmates."

And with that, he pointed to two empty desks in the back.

"You both can sit there. Now, for the lesson... today we're sparring. Solo. Suit up and meet in the field. Since Ameri and Arnoux don't have suits, just follow the others to the field." He says, before exiting.

I gulp.

So we're just here... so he can make sure we aren't a threat...

"You heard him! Come on everyone!" The spiky redhead says, standing up.

So, Arnoux and I follow them.

Arnoux

On the way out, everyone introduced themselves.

I... kind of forgot a lot of them, and their mag- sorry, quirks.

When we got outside, Aizawa put everyone's names in two boxes and pulled one out from each.

"First up: Fumikage Tokoyami VS Ameri Lycan." He says.

Ameri is up already? Cool.

The bird guy, Tokoyami, steps forward. I pat Ameri on the back, and he steps forward nervously.

Aizawa pointed out in the field, and they both walked over, standing across from each other. I smile.

I don't care what Tokoyami's quirk is, if he's not a werewolf, he can't beat Ameri.

"Why are you smiling?" Kirishima asks, staring at me, "Tokoyami is one of the strongest dudes in our class, shouldn't you be worried?"

"Is his quirk or whatever you call them super speed?" I ask.

"No." He replies.

"Then no, I'm not particularly worried. Ameri is stronger then he looks." I tell him.

"Heh, y'know it's super manly that you believe in your brother, but I think your underestimating our class." He crosses his arms.

"Hey!" I turn, and see Kaiya running towards us.

"Hi Kaiya!" I wave at her, "Ameri's about to fight the bird dude."

"Bird dude?" She asks, "Oh, I'm here for mom. We saw you setting up to spar, so I ran over."

I nod, and turn back to Kirishima.

"Maybe I am, but..." I look at Ameri, who doesn't look so scared anymore, "as wolves... well, I guess you could say we have killer instincts."

He gives me a weird look, but nods.

"Begin." Aizawa says.

Tokoyami just mutters something, and a shadow-like demonic being sprouts from his chest, zooming towards Ameri.

In less then a second, the shadow is where Ameri was.

Was.

Because within seconds after the shadow appeared, Ameri was out of the way.

He pauses behind Tokoyami, and the bird boy turns around just in time to be punched in the face.

"What the hell?" Kirishima mutters, "He's so fast..."

"Dark Shadow is coming behind for a sneak attack." Kaminari mutters, "Fast match."

He's right. The shadow zooms around behind Ameri, and tries to sneak attack. Ameri's ears twitch, and he dives to the side without even glancing back.

"What the hell?! He didn't even look behind him! Is that boy a psychic?!" Kirishima exclaims.

I facepalm.

"Whatever you wanna tell yourself dumbass..." Taiya mumbles.

They go on for a little while, Ameri dodging the shadow as it tries to attack him.

Then finally, Ameri gets close enough to kick Tokoyami's legs out from underneath.

Tokoyami falls backwards, and lays there, dazed.

"Tokoyami is out." Aizawa says, "Ameri wins."

In a span of five seconds, three things happen at once.

I let out a loud cheer.

The others in the class start yelling in confusion.

And Ameri snaps out of his fighting attitude, and freaks out, starting to apologize to Tokoyami over and over again.

"Everyone quiet." Aizawa says, "Ameri and Tokoyami, get off the field."

They both nod, and jog off.

"Oh my Irene, I'm so, so, sorry!" I hear Ameri saying, as I go and meet him.

"No apologies needed." Tokoyami says, seeming a bit miffed.

"But I hurt you! I'm so sorry!" Ameri says.

"Geez Bro, calm down," I say, then turn to Tokoyami.

"Sorry, Ameri tends to... freak out, like this." I tell him, "He's just worried about seriously hurting someone."

"I see." He nods, and then walks away.

"Dude!" Kirishima jogs over with Kaminari, "That was awesome! How are you so strong?!"

"Uh..." Ameri blinks.

"Looks like you have fans Ameri." I snicker. He glares at me.

"I-it was nothing really!" He says nervously.

"We're werewolves. We can do anything a wolf can do, plus we have advanced hearing and scent, and fast reflexes." I say.

"So your kind of like Tsu, huh?" Kaminari asks.

"I'm a frog Kaminari, not a wolf." Tsu says.

"Well yeah, but I mean in the sense that your quirks are based off of animals, and you can do everything that animal can do." Kaminari replies.

"Next up: Arnoux Lycan and Katsuki Bakugo." Aizawa says.

"I'm up, cool!" I exclaim.

"Arnoux? Do me a favor, and don't lose." Ameri tells me. I smile.

"Got it. See ya!" I wave, and walk out onto the field, facing Bakugo.

I remember what I had seen of him so far...

"Tch, even if they were they wouldn't be much of a threat."

I'll prove him wrong.

His quirk was... explosions, I think. Or something like that.

Guess I need to watch out for that. Good thing I'm a werewolf.

"Begin." Aizawa says.

BOOM!

I jumped back just in time, smoke going everywhere.

At this rate, he could be anywhere.

Footsteps, behind me.

I turn around and sidestep, just in time to avoid getting hit, and aim a punch at his face. I didn't miss.

I feel unfamiliar rush of power to my eyes, and panic. Stupid adrenaline rush from fights...

I shut my eyes, tight. I'll have to rely on my hearing, since the smoke isn blocking other scents, I can't let anyone see my red eyes.

"Closing your eyes and hoping to beat me? Now that's just INSULTING!"

Shit, I got distracted!

He hits me, and the impact sends me flying. My tail sticks up straight, and I manage to roll and land.

I can still fight, and now that I'm out of the smoke I can smell properly.

Bakugo's coming towards me, from the right. I roll forward, and punch him again, hoping to grab his arm.

Success! I grab his arm, and flip him over, managing to pin him down.

Everything is silent.

"Bakugo has been pinned. Arnoux wins." Aizawa says.

I stand up, and offer a hand to help Bakugo.

He swats it away.

"I don't need your help, damn mutt." He grumbles.

"Just trying to be a good sport, geez." I mutter.

Ameri tackles me in a hug.

"Arnoux! Don't scare me like that, I thought you had almost lost!" He exclaims.

"Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence bro." I say sarcastically. He laughs, and presses a fabric into my hands.

"The adrenaline caused it right? Here's your bandanna." He whispers, just loud enough so only I can hear it. I nod, and tie the bandanna around my eyes before opening them.

Everything has a red tint to it, though I can still see just fine. Not sure I'll ever get used to seeing like this though.

"Is that a blindfold?" I look over, and see Midoriya.

"Oh, uh... yeah... sorry, it's a... um..." I trail off, trying to think of an excuse.

"It's a medical condition!" Ameri says quickly.

"Bullshit," Bakugo calls, "you didn't put that thing on until after the fight." He glares at me.

"Whatever man, that was awesome!" Kirishima exclaims, "You beat Bakubro!"

"Don't call me that Shitty Hair..." Bakugo grumbles.

"Yeah, I'm not quite sure how I did that myself." I admit.

"I wanna know how the hell you saw me coming." Bakugo grumbles.

"I heard you." I say, twitching my ears.

"Tch..." he starts walking away.

"If you're all done, can we start the next matchup?" Aizawa asks.

Everyone nods and goes back to the spectating area, which is literally just the sidewalk by the field.

Aizawa calls up Midoriya and Uraraka next. I don't pay attention.

Calm down... focus on your breathing, like Dad said. Calm down...

I'm too busy trying to get my red eyes to go away.

Ameri is next to me, holding my hand. It... helps, to know my brother is with me.

That's embarrassing to say...

Before I know it, class is over. Kaiya leads Ameri and I to the apartment we're staying at.

"Oh my babies, you're okay!" Mom immediately wraps us both in a hug.

"Geez Aph, you act like your mother." Katelyn says.

Kaiya laughs.

Mom pulls away, and we tell them what happened. Including Mr Aizawa's warning, and the fights.

"We got the same warning..." Zane sighs.

"You were fighting?! And you both won?! Yes!" Mom cheers, hugging us again.

"Yeah... blegh, I can still smell smoke from that Bakugo guy..." I grumble. Ameri laughs.

It almost seems... normal.

Izuku

Walking home... I think Kacchan was right when he said Ameri was lying about Arnoux's eyes.

There's more to it, especially if he didn't put the blindfold on until after the battle.

I shouldn't get involved...
