Crona slowly came to, seeing bright lights. The meister couldn't remember what led them to being there. As he slowly got up, he was startled by a voice saying "How are you feeling, child?"
Crona quickly turned to the direction of the voice, and saw a short, elderly woman wearing nurses garb. "W-who are you? Where am I?"
"I'm Recovery Girl. You are at U.A Academy. What is your name, young man?" the woman- who Crona now knew to be Recovery Girl (strange name) said.
"...C-crona. M-my name is Crona Gorgon." "Well, Gorgon-san, if you would follow me, Principal Nezu would like to meet you." "W-why's that?" Crona responded, wary of the purpose of this meeting. "He just wants to know why we found you where and how we did."
Feeling as if he had no other choice, Crona decided to follow the woman.
Chiyo Shuuzenji-better known as Recovery Girl- was rather intrigued by the child. For one, his appearance was highly androgynous, almost uncannily so. She actually had to go as far as checking under their robe to determine that they were male. Secondly, he was incredibly thin, unhealthily so even. Thirdly, he appeared incredibly jittery, seeming to jump at almost any small noise. The last two especially troubled her, recognizing them as signs of abuse. Then there was his name. "Crona Gorgon" she thought. "A rather strange name, almost certainly not Japanese."
And there was the most interesting fact. When she had taken a blood sample to see if he was infected with anything, instead of red, his blood was a thick, inky black. "His Quirk, or perhaps a side-effect of it?" She now realized that there was probably only one way to find out. "If I may ask such a personal question, what is your Quirk, Gorgon-san?" His reaction wasn't expected by her. He momentarily frowned, appearing rather confused. "Q-quirk?" he asked. "You, do know what a Quirk is, don't you?" "N-no, I'm a Meister if you're asking that." Recovery Girl was now just as confused as Crona was. "How could he not know what a Quirk is? And what does he mean by "Meister"?". "I think any other questions the both of us have should wait until we meet the Principal, Gorgon-san." "Okay," Crona responded.
