The First Day of School

In the end, Wu Shiyin gave up on the idea of getting everyone together for drinks. There were hardly any normal people here. Aside from Yang Xiao, the rest were all somewhat abnormal.

Toga Himiko liked raw, cold, bloody food. Shinpachi Shimura would sing in public after drinking too much. Tae Shimura, after drinking too much... heh, she would chop people up in public...

And finally, Kagura would tear the house apart as soon as she got drunk!

After thinking it over, Wu Shiyin decided to forget it. Yang Xiao and he would never be able to stop those guys if it came to that. Better for everyone to go home, wash up, and sleep.

Yang Xiao was in a good mood after leaving Problem Solver. First, a weight had been lifted from his heart. Toga Himiko joining Problem Solver meant that she might no longer be able to join the League of Villains.

Second, his salary had doubled, and he could improve his strength at Problem Solver. That was something he was looking forward to.

However, he still needed to make some adjustments to his Quirk and hide it a little. Otherwise, he would likely become one of Problem Solver's main combat members.

He did not object to killing bad guys, but he had never killed anyone before. Doing something like that required mental preparation, and it also took time.

Problem Solver would probably create a specialized training plan to help both him and Toga Himiko transform.

April.

The weather was neither cold nor hot, making it an exceptionally pleasant season.

This was Yang Xiao's first day of school after receiving his acceptance letter. Early that morning, he packed everything he needed, slung on his white backpack, and headed straight for U.A. High School.

No surprises there—he had been assigned to Hero Class A.

After entering the campus, Yang Xiao took in the pure, youthful atmosphere. Although he had once been a college student, that had been near the end of his youth. Now, however, he was at the most vibrant stage of youth, and it was worth remembering.

Students arriving for school gradually entered the campus, their faces unmistakably glowing with excitement.

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

Here, your young wings would grow fuller, flourish, and live up to every moment of your youth.

Burn brightly, youth!

"I think I've seen you before?"

Just as Yang Xiao was feeling stirred up, a voice interrupted his thoughts. He turned and saw a head of dazzling dark purple hair.

They met again, Shinso Hitoshi.

"I saw you at Mount Fuji a while ago." Yang Xiao smiled slightly, showing a friendly expression.

Shinso Hitoshi looked as though he had not slept all night, his eyes appearing sluggish. After hearing Yang Xiao's words, he understood, but he had nothing much to say to him. Although he had saved someone back then, he had been misunderstood. This person probably misunderstood him too.

But why was he smiling? That was not right.

Shinso Hitoshi was not someone who liked to talk much. After nodding, he walked forward, but after taking two steps, he turned back to glance at Yang Xiao. "What department are you in?"

"Hero Class A. Please take care of me!" Yang Xiao did not hide it. Everyone would find out sooner or later. They were in the same school, and information spread quickly, so there was no need to lie.

"Hero Class A?" Shinso Hitoshi's expression, which had not changed until now, suddenly shifted. He looked at Yang Xiao in disbelief.

How could this utterly ordinary-looking student be in Hero Class A?

Every grade had Hero Class A as its best class, followed by Hero Class B. Those were classes specifically meant to train heroes. If one wanted to become a future Pro Hero, joining either of those two classes meant having a better chance of succeeding.

But what about him? Although he had entered U.A. High School, he was in the General Education Course. The gap was far from small.

Seeing Shinso Hitoshi's expression, Yang Xiao knew he had been dealt a blow. Shinso Hitoshi's Quirk was somewhat "subtle," unlike the straightforward righteousness associated with Pro Heroes.

"Classmate, what department are you in?"

"Goodbye..."

Shinso Hitoshi left without hesitation. He felt somewhat unbalanced. He had seen this person at Mount Fuji before, and Yang Xiao had left little impression on him. Yet after meeting him today, he remembered. Who would have thought that someone so unmemorable would be a student of Hero Class A?

Yang Xiao watched Shinso Hitoshi's somewhat lonely back and sighed. He could not help Shinso Hitoshi yet. Later—later, Yang Xiao would find a way to bring Shinso Hitoshi into Problem Solver.

When Yang Xiao arrived at the entrance to Hero Class A, there were only a few people in the classroom. He went in, found a seat in the corner, put his backpack into the desk drawer, and began observing his classmates.

Tsuyu Asui, Ojiro Mashirao, Ashido Mina, Kyoka Jiro, and Mezo Shoji were all in the classroom. It seemed that the invisible girl, Torhu Hagakure, was here too?

The classroom was fairly quiet for now. After Yang Xiao entered, his classmates merely gave him a few extra glances, but none of them took the initiative to come over and strike up a conversation. Clearly, everyone was still unfamiliar with one another.

It would have been impossible not to feel excited. After arriving in this world, most of the people he had met had been ordinary people or passersby. Aside from Problem Solver, the students of Hero Class A were the ones he had looked forward to meeting the most.

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

After all, when he had first appeared in this world, that mysterious white-haired old man had seemed dreamlike, yet full of unanswered questions.

At this moment, students began arriving one after another. The classroom became livelier, and more people began talking.

"Hey, why are you here?"

Katsuki Bakugo tossed his schoolbag onto a desk in the front row, then walked over to Yang Xiao and asked, his eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.

"Did you go to the wrong classroom? The General Education Course isn't here." Katsuki Bakugo added. He did not think Yang Xiao was a student of Hero Class A.

"Classmate, since I'm sitting here, I'm naturally a student of this class." Yang Xiao smiled. He was not 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 worked extremely hard to earn first place in the entrance exam. Even if the guy in front of him had defeated a few mock enemies, he should not have been able to enter Hero Class A.

Seeing how calm the guy looked made Katsuki Bakugo even more irritated.

"I'm only stating the facts. I wouldn't humiliate myself by sitting in a classroom that doesn't belong to me, would I?" After saying that, Yang Xiao had no intention of continuing the conversation. There was no point discussing this topic with him any further.

Katsuki Bakugo stared at Yang Xiao for several seconds before returning to his seat. He would wait and see whether this guy was really in the class when the teacher arrived. If he dared to lie to him, then just wait!
