Wu Shiyin ultimately abandoned the idea of inviting everyone for drinks. Few people here were normal, except perhaps Yang Xiao. Everyone else was a bit… off.

Toga Himiko liked to eat raw, cold, bloody food. Shinpachi Shimura would sing in public after drinking too much. Tae Shimura, when drunk, would… well, publicly dismember people!

And finally, Kagura, after too much to drink, would just tear the house down!

So, Wu Shiyin figured it was best to just let it go. At that time, he and Yang Xiao wouldn't be able to stop these guys. It was better for everyone to just go home, wash up, and go to sleep.

After leaving the Problem Solver agency, Yang Xiao was in a good mood. The first weight on his mind had been lifted. With Toga Himiko joining the Problem Solvers, it meant she likely wouldn't join the League of Villains.

The second thing was his salary doubling. Plus, he could improve his strength at the Problem Solver agency, which he was rather looking forward to.

However, he would need to adjust his Quirk and keep it relatively hidden. Otherwise, he might very well become one of the Problem Solver agency's primary combat members.

While he didn't object to killing villains, he hadn't actually killed anyone before. Doing such a thing required psychological preparation and time.

He figured the Problem Solver agency would create a special training plan to help him and Toga Himiko undergo a transformation.

April.

The weather was neither hot nor cold, a very comfortable time of year.

On this day, the first day of school after Yang Xiao received his acceptance letter, he got his things ready early, slung on his white backpack, and headed directly to U.A. High School.

Without any surprises, the class he entered was Hero Class A.

Upon entering the campus, Yang Xiao took in the fresh atmosphere. Although he had been a university student before, that was nearing the end of his youth. Now, however, he was in the most vibrant stage of youth, a time worth reminiscing about.

Students arriving for school began to enter the campus one after another. Their faces undoubtedly showed excitement.

Getting into a top institution like U.A. High School was the dream of every teenager.

Here, your young wings would grow stronger, sprout vigorously, and live up to all your youthful years.

Burn your youth with all your might!

"I think I've seen you before?"

Just as Yang Xiao's heart was surging with emotion, a voice interrupted his thoughts. He turned his head and saw dazzling, deep purple long hair.

We meet again, Shinso Hitoshi.

"I saw you on Mount Fuji a few days ago," Yang Xiao said with a slight smile, revealing a friendly expression.

Shinso Hitoshi looked as if he hadn't slept all night, his eyes appearing listless. He seemed relieved upon hearing Yang Xiao's words, but he didn't have much to say to Yang Xiao. After all, even though he had saved people then, he had been misunderstood. He figured this person would misunderstand him as well.

But why was he smiling? That wasn't right.

Shinso Hitoshi wasn't one for many words. He nodded and started to walk forward. After a couple of steps, however, he turned back to look at Yang Xiao. "Which course are you in?"

"Hero Class A, please take care of me!" Yang Xiao didn't hide anything. This was something that would be known sooner or later. Information circulated quickly within the same school, so there was no need to lie.

"Hero Class A?" Shinso Hitoshi's expression, which had been unchanged until now, suddenly shifted. He looked at Yang Xiao with disbelief.

How could this seemingly ordinary student be in Hero Class A?

After all, Hero Class A was the best class in each grade, followed by Hero Class B. These were classes specifically for training heroes. To become a Pro Hero in the future, joining one of these two classes significantly increased one's chances of success.

But he, despite getting into U.A. High School, was in the General Education course. The gap was more than just a little.

Seeing Shinso Hitoshi's expression, Yang Xiao knew he had been hit hard. Shinso Hitoshi's Quirk was somewhat 'obscure,' not the kind of openly righteous Quirk that Pro Heroes typically possessed.

"Classmate, which course are you in?"

"Goodbye..."

Shinso Hitoshi left without hesitation. He felt a bit unbalanced. He had seen this person on Mount Fuji, but he had no impression of him. Yet, meeting him today, he remembered him. Who would have thought that someone so unremarkable would be a student in Hero Class A?

Yang Xiao sighed as he watched Shinso Hitoshi's somewhat lonely back. He couldn't help Shinso Hitoshi yet. Perhaps later, Yang Xiao would find a way to bring Shinso Hitoshi into the Problem Solver agency.

When Yang Xiao arrived at the entrance to Hero Class A, there were only a few students inside. Yang Xiao entered, found a corner seat, put his backpack in the drawer, and began observing his classmates.

Tsuyu Asui, Ojiro Mashirao, Ashido Mina, Kyoka Jiro, Mezo Shoji were in the class. It seemed the invisible one, Torhu Hagakure, was also here?

The class was relatively quiet for now. After Yang Xiao entered, his classmates only glanced at him a few times and didn't make any move to approach him. Clearly, everyone wasn't familiar with each other yet.

It was impossible not to be excited. After all, most of the people he had met in this world were ordinary people, passersby. Aside from the Problem Solver agency, the classmates in Hero Class A were the most anticipated.

This world's story revolved around U.A. High School. Although Yang Xiao knew this might not be the original My Hero Academia world, it was likely one of many parallel worlds.

After all, when he first appeared in this world, that mysterious old man with white hair felt somewhat dreamlike, yet full of questions.

At this point, more students began to arrive, and the classroom became livelier, with more people talking.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Katsuki Bakugo threw his bag onto a desk in the front row, then walked up to Yang Xiao and asked, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment.

"Did you come to the wrong class? General Education isn't here," Katsuki Bakugo added. He didn't believe Yang Xiao was a student in Hero Class A.

"Classmate, since I'm already sitting here, I am naturally a student in this class," Yang Xiao said with a smile. He wasn't afraid of Katsuki Bakugo.

"What did you say?" Katsuki Bakugo was getting annoyed. Could this guy really be a student in this class?

He had put in a lot of effort to get first place in the entrance exam. Even if this guy in front of him had killed a few villains, he couldn't possibly have gotten into Hero Class A, right?

Seeing the guy's calm demeanor, Katsuki Bakugo became even more displeased.

"What I'm saying is the truth. I couldn't possibly bring shame upon myself by sitting in a class I don't belong to, could I?" After saying this, Yang Xiao had no intention of continuing the conversation. It was pointless to discuss this topic further with him.

Katsuki Bakugo stared at Yang Xiao for a few seconds before returning to his seat. He wanted to see if this guy really was in this class when the teacher arrived. If he dared to lie to him, he'd be in for it!
