Katsuki Bakugo put his legs up on the desk, waiting for the teacher to arrive with a relaxed air. He wondered who would be teaching Hero Class A, hoping it wasn't some weakling.

"Don't put your feet on the desk!"

A loud shout came as Tenya Iida, wearing glasses, arrived in front of Katsuki Bakugo and said sternly.

"Huh?" Katsuki Bakugo raised an eyebrow, looking at Tenya Iida, wondering where this guy came from.

"Don't you think that's disrespectful to the U.A. seniors and the person who made the desk?" Tenya Iida said, gesturing with his hands.

Katsuki Bakugo scoffed, "I don't. Which middle school are you from? Just a minor character."

As the two argued, Yang Xiao noticed a problem: Izuku Midoriya hadn't arrived. According to the normal storyline, Izuku Midoriya should have already been in the classroom, standing by the door.

Even after Katsuki Bakugo and Tenya Iida had been arguing for so long, Izuku Midoriya still hadn't shown up.

Yang Xiao waited for a while. Finally, after Tenya Iida and Katsuki Bakugo stopped arguing, Izuku Midoriya entered the classroom.

"Deku!" Katsuki Bakugo called out angrily.

Izuku Midoriya immediately flinched like a startled chick, looking at Katsuki Bakugo with worry. "Kacchan..."

"How did you get into Hero Class A? How did you pass the exam?" Katsuki Bakugo stared at Izuku Midoriya, asking. Although he had heard some things about Deku's performance during the exam, he didn't quite believe it.

How could someone he used to bully, someone weak, become so strong in such a short time?

"Uh... n-nothing..." Izuku Midoriya stammered. He was most afraid of Kacchan asking him these kinds of questions; he never knew how to answer.

"Huh? You mean you're not going to tell me?" Katsuki Bakugo roared. Tenya Iida, sitting not far away, couldn't stand it anymore and started to get up to argue with Katsuki Bakugo again.

"Ah, you little transparent one with the fluffy hair." Just then, a girl's voice came from the doorway. Izuku Midoriya turned his head and saw it was the girl he had saved.

Ochaco Uraraka looked at Izuku Midoriya with surprise. "Present Mic was right, you passed."

Izuku Midoriya's face immediately turned red. He wasn't good at communicating with girls and was very shy.

"But it's only natural, after all, your punches were so powerful," Ochaco Uraraka said, waving her small fists. "Smash, smash, smash..."

"Um, actually, it's thanks to you going to negotiate that I..." Izuku Midoriya stuttered.

Katsuki Bakugo narrowed his eyes, looking at Deku chatting with Ochaco Uraraka not far away, feeling a surge of anger. What was going on with U.A. High School? Even someone like Deku could get in, and into the same Hero Class A as him!

Right, there was one more person. That guy sitting in the corner. He looked so weak, yet he had also joined Hero Class A. It was truly incomprehensible.

"If you want to play with friends, go somewhere else."

Just as Izuku Midoriya didn't know what to do, a hoarse voice rang out. Following the voice, he saw a yellow sleeping bag lying behind Ochaco Uraraka, with a middle-aged man's face peeking out from the front.

"This is Hero Class." The bearded man pulled open the yellow sleeping bag a bit and took a swig of milk, looking quite strange.

"There's... there's something weird." This startled the people by the door. Who was this?

"Alright, it took 8 seconds to finally quiet down. Time is limited, and you all lack rationality." The speaker was, of course, Shota Aizawa, the handsome teacher of U.A. High School. If he paid more attention to his appearance, the female teachers at the school might have been infatuated with him.

The key was that Shota Aizawa didn't like to be in the spotlight or cause trouble, so he didn't shave and didn't tidy his hair, making him look like a homeless person who had been through the wringer.

Yang Xiao remembered that the homeroom teacher of Class 2-B at U.A. High School, Ms. Joke, liked Shota Aizawa, but Shota Aizawa had clearly stated he didn't want to date.

However, Ms. Joke was not a woman who gave up easily and was still quietly paying attention to Shota Aizawa.

"So, that person is also a Pro Hero?" a classmate asked doubtfully, looking at Shota Aizawa who had just walked in.

"But I've never seen anyone so listless..."

"I am your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Please guide me." Shota Aizawa seemed not to hear some of the discussions. His half-open eyes looked at everyone, finally resting on Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao had a strange feeling, like he was being targeted?

It shouldn't be. He was acting so ordinary. Logically, no student or teacher should pay attention to him.

Had something gone wrong?

Shota Aizawa withdrew his gaze, tidied the sleeping bag in his hand, and took out a piece of clothing. "No more wasting time. Put these on and come to the training ground."

Everyone had an outfit. Yang Xiao suddenly realized that someone seemed to be missing from the class?

He only now realized that all the students should be present by this time. So, who was missing?

Yang Xiao scanned all the students. It was then that he realized the missing student was Koji Koda, whose Quirk was: Animal Voice, allowing him to imbue his will into his voice to control animals and insects.

This student had been inexplicably excluded?

Yang Xiao felt a sense of bewilderment. But this way, the number of people in the class would be even.

Shota Aizawa gathered everyone on the training ground and announced the purpose.

"Quirk apprehension test?"

"What about the entrance ceremony? The school orientation?" Ochaco Uraraka asked, confused. In her opinion, no, in everyone's opinion, the first day of school would definitely be the entrance ceremony, and there would be an introduction to the school's overview.

How could they possibly have a test right at the beginning?

"If you aspire to be a hero, you don't have time for such leisurely activities," Shota Aizawa said, his back to everyone, speaking to himself. "U.A.'s biggest selling point is its free-spirited school culture, and this applies to teachers as well. You must have done this in middle school, right? Physical tests where [Quirks] are prohibited."

"Our country still uses standardized records to set average standards, which is completely unreasonable. Well... this is the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's negligence." Shota Aizawa turned around, his gaze falling on Yang Xiao. "The one who got first place in the practical skills test was Bakugo, right?"

"It's Bakugo. Why are you looking at me?" Yang Xiao felt inexplicably strange, feeling like Shota Aizawa was targeting him. Shouldn't he be looking at Katsuki Bakugo at this moment?

The next moment, Shota Aizawa's gaze shifted to Katsuki Bakugo. "How far could you throw a softball in middle school?"

"67 meters," Katsuki Bakugo replied truthfully. He didn't put on airs in front of the teacher.
