notes: here we are. Ten chapters in this story and loving the support. Even chose new artwork for it.

Back to the test!

Test 2: Grip Strength

Holding the odd device in her hand, Katara looked around as other kids began squeezing there's as hard as they could. Some like the red headed boy Kirishima suddenly turned his hands into what looked like stone and squeezed, his score shooting up to 223.5 KG. She then turned to Tenya and watched his face turning purple as his cheeks puffed out from his strain.

"Woah, easy. Take a breath!" She warned him as he continued squeezing.

Finally inhaling, he gasped out as his hand finally loosened his grip. He looked down and frowned when his score came up. "75.2 KG. That is very disappointing."

"Well your quirk is a speed boost. It can't do your entire body." She said trying to make him feel better.

"But if I lack in one field I should be training harder to compensate for that!" he shouted in determination.

Katara rolled her eyes at his attitude and patted his shoulder. "You take yourself way too seriously."

He frowned and crossed his arms. "Alright, missy. Let us see what you can do."

looking down at her own device, she was about to use just her hand before she noticed Momo… had some kind of clamp come out of her skin through a glowing patch!?

She watched in awe as the ponytailed girl set the item she created and put it on her own grip strength machine. Katara then remembered how Aizawa mentioned to use your quirk to your advantage, deciding to encase her hand in water and wrap it around the machine and squeezed with her left, and simultaneously used bending with the other to magnetize the pressure. After struggling for a few moments, she hit her max and released the device, and both her and Tenya's eyes widened.

"254.7 KG? Astonishing." Tenya said out loud.

"Yeah… I had no idea what it was going to be either." Katara admitted, surprised herself by the score.

Crack!

Both of their heads turned back to Momo, the girl blushing in embarrassment as her clamp had snapped the grip she had. "I'm sorry sensei. I can pay for that!"

"Okay, that's not even fair." Katara frowned at the creationist's ability.

Test 3: Standing long Jump

The long sand pit was as basic as it got. Just… a big sandbox.

Katara watched as several of the kids simply tried jumping and could barely clear half of it. Then there was Bakugo who seemingly flew across the whole pit.

Now that she was up, Katara took a deep breath and enveloped her arms in water. She latched onto the ground several feet in front of her and leaned back against the liquid building pressure. When she was ready, she yanked forward propelling herself through the air, watching the pit pass below as she started coming down. She reached with her legs and landed with a thud just on the other side of the pit.

"Phew… closer than I would have liked…" She chuckled to herself. She knew others had passed it easily and she barely cleared it. Things were kind of interesting for her.

She then caught sight of Midoriya lining up. She watched him brace his legs, waiting for that powerful rush Tenya told her head had and… Barely made it half way in the pit.

"Did he not use his power?" She wondered as she watched the defeated boy crawl off the ground, his face filled with worry. "Has he not been using his quirk this whole time?"

Test 4: Repeated side steps

"Now these are starting to feel pointless…" Katara sighed as she watched Kirishima hopping back and forth over a line. He huffed as he pushed off the ground every time, his face straining as he tried going faster before Aizawa clicked his stop watch.

"Time."

Frowning at his seemingly low score, Kirishima grunted and stomped off. "Man, my quirk is useless for this test!" he yelled in annoyance.

Next up was someone who looked like he should have been at home with his parents still. The small boy suddenly began popping little purple balls off his head and forming little mounds on each side of him. Katara watched the strange act until the little boy grinned to the crowd.

"Time to get bouncing." Mineta snickered.

Katara's eyes widened in surprise as he started whipping between the two stacks he made, having to whistle in amazement as the little guy bounced off each thing. "Okay that is pretty creative."

After he was done, Mineta smirked and walked off the line passed the taller Katara, his eyes taking a sneak look behind to see the girls back end. "You can touch my balls there if you want. But be warned… you may not want to let go."

The sexual innuendo shot through Katara's ears like an ice spike, her head slowly turning back to the little pervert. Even Bakugo felt a cold chill run through the air from the look she gave.

"You want to say that again to me?"

Mineta's lip sucked in so tight he probably couldn't have spoken the rest of the day.

Test 5: Ball Throw

Now they were back to the original test that started the whole thing off. Katara waited behind Momo as she conjured what looked like some sort of cannon, shoving the ball into the end of it and pressing the trigger.

BOOM!

The class all stepped back in shock as the explosion launched the ball far into the sky and disappear beyond view. Aizawa turned the phone and showed the score.

"1,647 meters!? Woah!" Mina gasped.

Katara chuckled as she watched Momo move the cannon to the side and out of the way. "Now I really would call that cheating."

Yaoyorozu giggled and closed her open sports shirt. "He said use my quirk, so I am."

"Yeah, and now I have to follow that…" Katara sighed and walked up to the spot. She grabbed the next ball from the stack and spun it in her hand.

"Use my quirk, huh…" she thought out loud. Pulling a long stream of water from her canteen, she enveloped her entire arm and strung the ball onto the very end of it. She stretched out the water whip far behind her head, taking a deep breath before rushing forward. With a forceful whip, the water snapped forward and ended with a loud crack. The ball rushed through the air down the field, with their teacher once again flipping the phone around.

"350.6 meters? That's a really good score!" Uraraka cheered from the crowd. "I wanna try it next!"

Katara smiled and stepped out of the way, hoping at least her score would seem impressive for a bit.

And then Uraraka threw it.

And it kept going.

And going.

And going.

The waterbenders smile completely faded as the entire class sat jaw dropped to the never ending toss this girl just made. So much for that idea.

"Jeez, I don't think anyone wants to follow that one." Kaminari chirped in as most of the others still murmured in amazement.

One was to follow next, and sure enough… it was Midoriya.

Katara watched as the boy seemingly sulked towards the spot, his eyes seeming to lack the confidence he needed. She had noticed he was either towards or at the very bottom with every test. It seemed like everything he was trying to do was just by himself and never using his quirk. But no matter what it was, he didn't look like he had a chance to make it.

Midoriya himself was feeling the pressure of where he was, but it was for the risk of his new power. He had no idea how to control his quirk yet, but he couldn't stop here.

'All Might gave me this power so I can become a hero. He did this for me…' His eyes burned a new fire as he stepped forward and winded his arm back. He whipped it forward, immediately feeling the surge run through his arm ready to burst out. '...And I won't let him down!'

He threw it… but it fell flat under fifty meters.

"Wh-what happened? I was for sure trying to use it that time…" Midoriya stuttered in shock.

"I erased your quirk."

All of the students looked in fright and shock as the rags floated up around their teachers neck, his hair standing on end as well. The icing on the cake was the bright red glow his eyes now had, focused on the terrified Izuku.

"The judges for this exam were not rational enough…" Aizawa coldly stated, "… someone like you should never be enrolled here."

"You… erased it?" Midoriya slowly asked, but went eyed eyed when he saw the goggles hanging around Aizawa's neck. "Wait, I know you…. You are able to cancel out someone's powers by looking at them. You're… Erasurehead!"

Katara felt a shiver run up her back when she heard that. 'Wait. He can what?'

Her mind immediately replayed the many times she encountered that chi blocker friend of Azula's back in her world. The way Tai Lee could come in, hit your pressure points and take away your bending. But this… this man simply had to look at you and he could take your abilities away? That was something truly terrifying. But what scared her was the thought if he tried using that on her. Would his ability erase her bending? Or would it not, and then cause trouble for her since others would see she has something else entirely.

She took a deep breath and hoped it never came to that.

Aizawa kept his cold glare towards the shaking green haired boy. "Look at you, you have no control of your power. Are you planning on breaking your bones and having someone else save you?"

"what? No, that's not at all what I- Agh"

Midoriya was cut off as Aizawa whipped part of his cloth out and wrapped him, yanking him closer.

"You are a danger to be out in the field. You use your quirk and then you are useless. You would be nothing more than a liability in battle." Aizawa's brow furrowed as he leaned in towards the terrified student, "What are you going to do? Save one person and then be completely helpless and need rescuing? What kind of a hero is that?"

Releasing his grip, Aizawa's hair and rags fell back down, his eyes blinking and the glow disappearing. "I returned your impractical quirk. Hurry up and make your final throw."

While the scolding teacher may have seemed harsh, Katara knew if what he was saying was accurate, it would be hard for him to do anything. She looked over to Tenya and nudged his arm. "You said he broke his arm during the exam?"

Tenya nodded. "Yes, it was when he punched the robot at the end."

A chuckle escaped from Bakugo's mouth to their right, earning a glare from Katara. "What's so funny?"

"I bet you Deku there simply broke his hand by hitting metal like a dumbass." he scoffed out. "He has always been a quirkless loser."

"What do you mean? He destroyed one of those large robots during the test!" Tenya exclaimed.

"Bakugo sneered at that statement. "You were just seeing things four eyes. There's no way that worthless little-

"SMASH!"

All of them were silenced by the massive shockwave erupting out from Midoriya. Katara's eyes widened as the shockwave from his throw reached her and blew her braid out behind her, mouth agape in both shock and amazement. "Woah… and you said he didn't have a quirk!?"

Every other student was left bewildered as they saw the score revealed. "705.3 meters!? That's insane!" Kaminari gasped out.

Midoriya looked over to his wide eyed teacher, his face a mix of both pain and satisfaction. "Aizawa sensei…" He paused as he clenched his fist, his pointer finger a deepened red from breaking. "You see? I'm still standing!"

Aizawa couldn't help but smirk to this boys determination. "This kid!"

while they were all impressed, Bakugo felt his hands shaking in a mix of emotions he couldn't even explain. His eyes were locked onto his childhood acquaintance, his blood coming to a boil. 'Deku… what the hell? Did you just… have…'

Like an enraged bull, the explosion user burst forward hands out. "Deku you bastard! You've been toying with me this whole time, haven't you!?"

Katara watched in shock as Bakugo rushed passed them, seeing the killer intent in his eyes. "What is he doing? He really going to attack him!?"

Before she could even say anything else however, the furious blonde was entrapped in a pair of wraps catching his face and yanking him backwards. "What the hell!?" Bakugo's eyes widened in surprise as he tried to pull at the membrane, but couldn't even budge them. "That the hell is this stuff!?"

"Quit making me use my quirk…" Aizawa shot out as he pulled bakugo back, his glowing eyes filled with annoyance, "… It gives me dry eye!"

Releasing the angered student, Aizawa walked over and stood directly in front of him. "Now I don't know what kind of crap you got against each other, and frankly I don't care. But in my class you tow the line, or you can take your backpack and find another school, you got it?"

Feeling the material release, Bakugo gritted his teeth but kept his mouth shut. His eyes shot a cold glare to the frightened Midoriya, their eyes locked for a few moments before turning away and walking back to the sidelines.

Katara stared intently at the ill tempered Bakugo as he hunched his shoulders and glared at the ground. She knew he had a temper just by their small interaction, but she saw something else inside him. Something that really made her uncomfortable. She really would have to keep an eye out for him.

Test 6: Toe Touch

The last three tests were certainly much more straight forward than the other ones from before. The first was a toe touch. Katara raised an eyebrow and looked to the teacher as she casually leaned and grabbed her feet. "This is really a test?"

Aizawa didn't look up from his clipboard as he pointed behind her. "You'd be surprised."

She turned around and raised an eyebrow to the large quiet kid known as Koda, the poor guy barely able to reach passed his knees. "Ah… I see."

Test 7: Sit ups

Next the sit ups, where everyone simply laid on the ground and did crunches. In the second group, Katara rolled fluidly up and down as Tenya held her feet in place, the punctual teen keeping her updated.

"Forty. Forty one. Forty two. Forty three. Forty-

"That isn't necessary." Katara huffed out between crunches.

"I'm making sure you do not forget. Focus is very important when-

"Yeah... that is making it hard." She grunted as she hit fifty.

"Wow, check it out, we got a challenge going on." Mina giggled as she stood to the side.

"Huh?" Katara almost faltered as she turned and looked over to the side, realizing only one other still going in her group. And that was Todoroki. His eyes met hers as they both continued going up and down, a determination set in is gaze.

Furrowing her brow, Katara wasn't one to put down a challenge and pushed forward. Her abs were feeling a burn, but she was used to a life of strenuous training and refused to give up. She pushed harder, wincing as she hit sixty.

"Damn, look at her go!" Kaminari cheered out, "Keep going!"

"Wow, I gave up at forty." Uraraka groaned as she felt her still sore stomach.

Grunting, Katara sweated as she forced her body up again, a burning sensation rushing though her stomach. The pain was getting worse, her face twisting in pain as she laid back again. Her eyes wandered to Shoto once more, and watched his own face sweating but still pushing at a decent pace. It seemed like he was struggling but still could keep going, where her pain was getting worse.

After two more, she felt her abs finally hit her limit, falling back and wincing in pain. She laid there panting, her hand reached up and wiped her damp forehead. She felt a comforting tap on her knee from her friend.

"That was exceptional, Katara. You ended up with seventy four!" Tenya exclaimed.

Katara didn't answer as she forced her body up, gripping her sore stomach and looking over to Shoto who had done six more than her. He was breathing hard himself, but his eyes were set at his feet and not shifting. Suddenly the other students all began chirping in unison to the end results.

"Now that is a badass way to go out. Nice job to both of you!" Kirishima gave a thumbs up to the two of them.

"You were amazing Katara. That was good. Ribbit." Tsu chimed in.

"I should have figured the top two aces would go head to head here." Mina giggled as she stretched her arms. "I doubt I'll get that close but I'll try."

Smiling to all the compliments, Katara forced herself off the ground and tried to stretch the sharp pain out of her stomach. Looking over to Todoroki, she watched as he drank from the fountain on the side. While she did have a bad taste in her mouth because of who his father was, she knew far too well that a child shouldn't be judged for what their parent was. Perhaps she could be the one to break the ice first.

Walking over, she bent over and drank from the fountain next to him, getting back up and wiping her mouth. "Hey, good job there." she said as he dried off his neck. She gave a small smile waiting for him to finish, but let it fall as he simply looked at her for several moments. His two colored eyes never left her before turning around and walking away.

"Thanks…" he quietly answered, not looking back towards her.

While not completely blown off, Katara could definitely feel the tension in the air as he left the room and went outside. "What was that about?"

The final test was a simple long distance run doing laps around the school track. Iida to no surprise of Katara easily kept pace at the front of the class, hardly breaking a sweat. "Should have expected that with your kind of quirk." Katara chuckled as she kept her own decent pace.

"You seem to know that Iida pretty well…" Mina said as she huffed next to Katara. "...you meet him recently?"

"No, actually I'm living at his families home. That was through that program I told you, remember?" Katara answered.

"What?" Mina gasped, "Living with a classmate? That's kinda odd."

"Not like I planned that…" Katara sighed, "… it uh… kinda just happened."

Mina lifted an eyebrow but gave a quick shrug. "Alrighty. So… expect this on the first day?"

"Not really…" Katara exhaled, "… You?"

"Heck no. I figured all talking. But this is kinda cool to actually try out our quirks on things." Mina grinned and looked to the others around. "And we got some other cool quirks here, too."

Looking ahead of them, her eyes found the red and white hair of Todoroki bouncing just after Tenya. Her mind thinking of the ice once again. "Yeah… cool."

After the all the students finally cooled down, they all gathered by the gym entrance where they all started. Aizawa inputted the final scores to his phone and added the averages to the final chart. "Now for all of you, most probably have a good idea where you stand. In case you were curious, here are the final results."

Waiting in anxiety, a few of the students wiggled back and forth as they hoped their names wouldn't be at the bottom. When the screen illuminated in front of them, there were a few surprises in the rankings.

Rankings

1. Momo Yaoyorozu

2. Shoto Todoroki

3. Katsuki Bakugo

4. Kairi Katara

5. Tenya Iida

15. Hanta Sero

16. Denki Kaminari

17. Kyoka Jiro

18. Toru Hagakure

19. Minoru Mineta

20. Izuku Midoriya

Katara sighed in relief as she saw where her name was. While she was sure she had done better than most, it still felt better to actually know the rankings. "Wow, we both did pretty good, Iida." She said to her friend next to her.

Tenya nodded to her and grinned. "Yes, we both did. Congratulations Katara."

Iida turned back the board and gave a small smile to being towards the top of the class. He was also happy seeing Katara do so well, for he knew she was very talented. But… he couldn't help but bite down slightly at seeing her name in the position above him. He wasn't mad of course… its just he wasn't exactly sure what he felt.

'So… you beat me again.' He sighed internally. He took a deep breath, clenching his fist and looking down at it. He knew he wasn't mad, but to lose again… it just left an odd taste in his mouth . 'Time for some more training.'

Katara looked back to the board and looked at the other standings. With… whatever power Yaoyorozu had it was no surprise she made the top spot. Then there were the other two above her, making her slightly bite her tongue in distaste, but had to admit there abilities were very impressive. Her eyes then noticed the last place spot, and felt her heart ache slightly.

"Oh no…" She whispered and looked over towards Midoriya.

She could see the disappointed look in his eyes, sweat beginning to form on his forehead. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him and decided to at least make him feel better. She walked over and patted his shoulder. "Hey… I'm really sorry Modoriya."

His eyes slowly turned to her and felt his breath catch in his throat having a girl so close to him, but the pain of seeing his ranking was overpowering that feeling. He looked back to the ground and swallowed. "Th-thank you. It's a-alright I guess…" he barely stuttered out.

Aizawa turned off his projector and looked back to the class. "Oh and I lied. No one is going home today."

"WHAT!?" Most of the class screamed out in shock, including Midoriya who nearly passed out right there.

"I just figured it would make you all try your best with some pressure." The dreary teacher responded with a grin, "… Just a little deception."

Momo looked over to the others and sighed. "It was pretty obvious from the beginning honestly. I should have said something."

Katara rolled her eyes and looked back to Midoriya, his face nearly a pasty white from shock. "Well… I guess that's a relief now." She chuckled.

Midoriya couldn't say anything as he felt a wave wash over his body. One moment he was about to be sent home for completely failing this test, and now he was still here. High school was too much for him!

Aiazwa put his phone away and walked away from the kids. "Now being it's already towards the end of the day, it's not worth going back to class for twenty minutes. So go get changed and head on home. Be ready for tomorrow."

"I t-thought he was going to send- OW!" he yelped as he gripped his broken finger.

Katara looked down to his bandaged finger and remembered him using his power. 'Wow, it really does hurt him.'

She then remembered… there was something she could do to help a little. "Hey if you want I can help soothe that injury."

Midoriya's face turned deep red to her offer and quickly started waving his hands back and forth. "Oh d-don't worry! I'll go to recovery girl and get it fixed up right away!"

"Oh… alright then. Take care." she watched as he quickly turned around and sprinted towards the boys locker rooms ahead of the others.

"Watch it Deku, you annoying little shit!" Bakugo screamed out as the sprinting boy ran passed him, making katara glare at him.

"Hey, what's your problem?" She yelled at him, "Why do you have something against him?"

Bakugo stopped and turned around. "What did you say?" he growled at her.

"You. What is your deal with Midoriya? Why are you being such a jerk to him?" she shot back at him.

He clenched his fists and gave a quick spit to the ground. "It's none of your damn business, so why don't you just butt out?" he shouted before stomping away. "Besides, you should watch yourself. You may have beat my score in the entrance exam, but I already passed you today. Soon I'm gonna be the one in that number one spot at this stupid school."

Katara glared as the unstable blonde walked passed the other students on edge from the little standoff they watched, many quite surprised by her attitude standing up to the angry kid. Taking a deep breath, she turned around and walked towards her own locker room, rubbing her neck to relax her nerves.

"Phew… you got some fire in you, girl." Jiro chuckled as she walked by Katara.

"Excuse me?" Katara questioned.

"You. Not many wanna say anything to that dude. He's got quite the hot head and yet you simply called him out. Nice." Jiro laughed and nudged the water bender's arm.

Hearing that Katara just rolled her eyes. "What is his problem? He just looks likes he's ready to snap at anything."

"Eh, he may be more bark than bite. Maybe he just needs a good ass kicking sometime." Jiro responded.

"I think he is just really hot headed." Tsu added with the other girls. "Like he has never lost before."

"Hey, good job out there..." Momo said as she came to Katara's side. "… I'm really impressed."

Katara chuckled out loud to the compliment, walking inside the doors and sitting on one of the benches. "Me? You did the best out there. You were the one who did a good job."

Momo smiled but waved her hand. "It's nothing special, just using my quirk."

"Yeah… what is that by the way?"Katara asked as she stripped off her tracksuit. "… you can just make things?"

Momo nodded. "Yes, I can create any item that I desire as long as I know what it is made of."

"Wow, that's a really neat ability." the waterbender responded.

"Well I have to know the molecular structure of the item I am making, and it uses lipids in my body so there is a limit to how much I can create."

Katara raised her eyebrow. "Lipids?"

Momo chuckled. "Fats."

"Oh. Okay." Katara's eyes trailed down as Yaoyorozu stripped her own tracksuit off, revealing her near perfectly shaped body, bringing a small frown to the waterbenders face.

'So she can simply burn up fat whenever she wants. No wonder she looks that amazing.' she thought in slight jealousy, slipping her normal uniform back onto her body.

"So, what did you all think of today?" Uraraka asked happily. "I thought it was really cool to see everyone in our class use there quirks."

"Yeah, I think its awesome to see everyone go at it!" Toru cheered out, her floating shirt bouncing up and down in the air. "I hope I don't fall behind everyone else!"

Katara couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the seemingly floating clothes get removed, leaving nothing but a floating bra in the air. "I will say you would be really good at sneaking up on people… but you'd have to take everything off."

Steam seemed to rise out of nowhere from Toru's embarrassed face. "I know… but it still so nerve racking!"

"But being so sneaky is pretty rad!" Uraraka added from the side.

Katara couldn't help but smile at the others chatting and joking with each other. So far it seemed like most of her classmates she was getting along with good so far. Of course… there were a few she was a bit hesitant with so far.

'Maybe it will get better at least…' she thought to herself as she slipped on her school jacket.

"Hey, since we are all here, why don't we exchange numbers?" Mina asked everyone.

Uraraka smile grew across her face as she heard that. "Yeah that's a good idea! So if we need help with something we can just get a hold of each other."

Katara froze mid motion at that. 'Wait… numbers?' She then watched as some of them pulled out their phones, her eyes widening as she remembered the one she was given earlier. 'shit, how do I work that thing!?'

Mina finished typing in Jiro's number when she looked over to Katara sitting there. "Aren't you gonna do the same?"

"Oh, uhh funny thing…" Katara blushed and rubbed the back of her head as she pulled her own phone out. "… I just got this today, so I don't know how this works. He he…"

Mina tilted her head in confusion. "Well if you don't know your new number yet why don't you just insert ours?"

"Well…" Katara looked away to hide her reddening cheeks, "… I've never actually owned a cell phone before, so I REALLY don't know how it works."

"WHAT!?" a few of them yelled in shock. "You've never owned a phone? How!?"

"Like I told you…" katara shrugged to Mina, "...my village was pretty isolated."

"Well you did, but…" Mina scratched her forehead, "… wow."

Momo shook her head in disbelief. "I have to say, I really don't know how I could have gone for so long without having one. Here let me see that." she asked reaching towards the waterbenders phone. "We can add our numbers to yours and send it to ourselves."

"Oh… well okay then." Katara said as she handed the phone over. She finished getting changed as she watched her phone passed girl to girl, each of them typing into it and saying they sent something called... a text to themselves.

"I'll really need to figure out how that thing works soon…" she chuckled to herself.

After finishing up, Katara made her way out through the school hallways and back towards the main entrance. She eyed the phone in her hand, sliding her finger across the screen as it opened up. She stared in awe as the image changed to a list of different symbols lining the front. "Woah, this thing really is interesting."

She had no idea what half of them were, but heard the others mentioning "contacts" with each other. She then saw one of those items say the same thing, so she clicked on that one, changing the screen to a list of names. She read through the different names that were there; Ashido, Madoka Iida, Tensei Iida, Tenya Iida , Kyoka, Uraraka, Yaoyorozu. She eyed them curiously and clicked on Tenya's name, and another two symbols popped up of what looked like a phone and a letter.

"Huh… I think that's how you talk to someone." she said out loud and shut it off, putting it back in her pocket. "I'll really do have to figure this out soon."

She passed through the front doors and saw Tenya waiting there for her, his smile meeting her as she approached. "Greetings Katara, look like it's time to head on home."

She was about to answer with a sarcastic "no crap", but her eyes took notice of Midoriya passing by them, his face deep in thought as he walked down the steps of the school.

"Hey Midoriya, your finger better?" She called out to him.

He froze mid step and looked back to her, his face turning bright red again. "Y-yes it is! Thanks for asking!" his eyes barely able to look at hers.

"You went to Recovery girl and she healed her finger? That was very wise." Tenya added as he walked over towards the green haired boy. "It is quite fortunate that Aizawa Sensei did not keep his promise of sending last place home today. You are still able to continue your studies here."

Midoriya rubbed the back of his head and gave a small chuckle. "Y-yeah, pretty lucky I would say. I'm just heading to the train station now."

"Oh so are we, why don't we go together then?" Katara happily said next to them, bringing another wave of heat through Midoriya's cheeks.

'She wants to walk with me to the train station!? Oh gosh!' He screamed internally. "S-sure, that sounds good!"

She chuckled and rolled her eyes, joining the two of them as they all walked down the steps. "It was odd why he lied about sending someone home for testing low."

"Oh, Aizawa sensei?" Tenya responded, "I was concerned by his approach after class, but I judge the schools judgement for appointing him a teacher."

"Yeah, but we are all still here at least." Katara added.

"Hey, wait up you guys!"

They all turned to see Uraraka running towards them, a big smile on her face. "You all going to the station? I'll join you!"

Katara smiled as the brown haired girl came up to them, seeing Midoriya sweating even more now. "Yeah, we are. Let's all go together then."

"Thanks! Me and Katara have already introduced each other, but I'm Ochaco Uraraka, nice to meet you." Uraraka happily said, eyeing the other two, "Let's see… you're Tenya Iida. And you are… Deku, right? Midoriya?"

"Deku!?" Midoriya gasped out, making Uraraka's eyebrow raise.

"Uh, yeah… isn't that what Bakugo called you?"

"W-well my name is Izuku, but Kachaan calls me that when he's making fun of me…" Midoriya responded.

Katara frowned thinking back to hearing him that one Bakugo yelling that back on the field. "So he's insulting you by calling you that?"

Despite the others feeling uncomfortable to the reveal, Uraraka simply smiled again, "Well I like Deku. I think it would make a great hero name. Plus I think it sounds kinda cute."

"DEKU IT IS!"

Tenya gasped at Midoriya's sudden change of perspective, his arm chopping in front of him. "You cannot simply change on a dime like that! His insult should not be accepted!"

Katara simply laughed for a few moments at their antics, Tenya looking at her curiously. "What is so funny?"

"I think it really isn't a bad name honestly. And besides…" She smiled over to the blushing green haired boy, "… it can't hurt if you use it."

He looked in confusion to her statement. "What do you mean?"

"I mean if you accept that name as your own, him trying to insult you with it will be pointless. You make it yours and he loses his strength over you."

Midoriya sat silent for a few moments to her words, realizing what she told him actually made so much sense. Over the last several years he had grown so used to hearing the word Deku he simply would respond to it, but he always tried to disavow it when others heard it. Maybe… using it for himself would be the best thing he could do.

"Y-yeah, maybe I should…" He gave a small smile to the two girls. "Thanks."

They both smiled as they continued walking together towards the train station. For Katara, her first day of school was quite the interesting one. She saw there was so many new and interesting powers that would have probably made her feint if she saw them the first day she came here. There were a few in the class she was not a fan of so far, but she figured there would always be those few who don't mesh with others. She then looked to her left and watched the other three chatting happily with each other, bringing another smile to her face.

She felt like she was making some interesting and good friends so far.

Midoriya was feeling the same way, he had struggled for so many years to make friends due to his childhood life. Always the one pushed to the side due to being quirkless, the outcast and unpopular. And now, he was in the greatest school in Japan, and being accepted by the others as friendly equals. His own eyes found their way to Katara, his mind once again scrambling to why it was bothering him.

'I can't put my mind to it now. But for now…' he smiled again as he saw her laughing with Uraraka, '… I'll think about it later. I have new friends now, and I need to focus on getting better with my quirk.'

Across Tokyo, the lone Shoto Todoroki made his way down the sidewalk towards his home. His dual colored eyes were not focused on anything, for his mind was too occupied on the certain classmate he had encountered. He still couldn't believe it, but it seemed like he had completed his search.

"There is no mistake about it… it is her." he told himself as he walked up to the front door of his place. He opened it up and was met with a familiar face.

"Oh hey Shoto!" his older sister Fuyumi yelled out from the kitchen, her white hair streaked with red bouncing as she rounded the corner. "How was your first day of school?"

"It was fine…" he blandly responded as he took his shoes off. "You are home early."

"Yeah, I finished work ahead of schedule so they gave me the rest of the day off." She answered, "So, you want something to eat?"

"I am fine. I need to do some things now." he nodded and walked towards his room.

"Oh, by the way…" She hesitated slightly knowing he wouldn't like hearing this. "… Dad wanted you to call him after school, said he needed to talk about something."

Shoto felt his blood boil slightly at the request, his brow furrowing as he continued forward. "I'm busy."

"You know he will be upset…" She warned him.

"Yeah?" he sneered as he opened his door, "… When the hell is he not?"

He shut the door and locked it behind him. He threw his backpack to the side, taking a breath to calm himself. He didn't care if his old man was upset at him or not, for the bastard was always pissed at something in life. Grunting, he walked over to the computer on his desk and turned it on.

"Now… let's see that once again." he hissed as he opened up the image folder and scrolled through. Once he found the one he was looking for, he felt his heart jump as his guess was finally confirmed.

"There you are…"

He remembered four months ago when his father came home more pissed off than usual, the enraged hero smashing several sets of equipment in his training room. Then he came across several news articles speaking of a strange quirk user causing trouble in Hosu, but there was denial from the police and others claiming it to be false information being spread. After a few weeks, bigger stories took center stage, and the rumors had all but been swept away and forgotten. And then, one day… Shoto stumbled across his father's open email, and a single document sent to him from the chief of police himself.

It was a single image, one that the articles had used, although those were somewhat hazy and not perfectly clear. This was the original, and was as clear as any. He had copied it and sent it to himself, and had probably looked at it nearly everyday since. It was of his father in the street, his own fire erupting from his fist and colliding with a stream of water. But the water was not what the teen was looking at. His eyes were looking at the one manipulating the water.

"I finally found you…" He coldly stated as his right hand formed ice over his keyboard, his eyes staring at Katara.

Notes: AHH! Shoto has made a startling conclusion. what shall happen now!? be ready for more next week.
