Chapter Text
This was it. My first day at UA academy. I stared up at the building with awe as I fiddled with the straps of my backpack. Even though it was in the middle of the school year, I hoped that I could still catch up and learn how to be a great hero.
My whole life, I underwent countless experiments and experienced horrifying pain. But underneath all that, I dreamed of being the greatest hero there ever was. Being number one. And now, after finally destroying the people that held me back, I was starting on the path to achieve that dream.
“Hello there! Are you the new transfer student?” A voice snapped me back into reality.
I looked towards the source of the voice. Standing there, was a student with dark blue hair and glasses. He was moving his hands up and down like a robot. To be honest, he looked kind of ridiculous.
“Uh-y-yea. I a-am.” I replied nervously, smiling at him. I wonder if he’s in my class? I thought. He smiled and gestured for me to follow him. “Right this way ma’am! Let me take you to see our principal!” He started walking as I trailed behind him.
“Oh, by the way, I’m Tenya Iida!” He shouted, not looking back.
“I-i’m Suzumi” I murmured. I was too busy observing my surroundings. I looked around at all the students making their way to the main building. A few shot glances at me, while others walked past me like I was invisible.
As we walked, I couldn’t help but notice that all the students just looked like average 15 year olds. Some were talking together in groups, others were scrolling on their phones. In other words, it looked like a normal high school. I thought there would be teenagers with rippling muscles and cool hero costumes. I thought. Whatever, I should be grateful I even got into this school. I shrugged and turned my attention back to walking towards the entrance.
My jaw hung open as we arrived upon the huge entrance to UA. When I say huge, I mean huge. I mean, what do you expect from Japan’s top hero academy? I noticed Iida standing proudly beside me. After staring in amazement for a while, I heard someone clear their throat. I looked down, and standing in front of the door was, a mouse.
I blinked. Am I seeing this right? Rubbed my eyes and squinted. Nope, it's still a mouse. I looked at the student escorting me and I raised an eyebrow. Before he could say anything, the mouse spoke.
“Welcome to UA academy, Suzumi! I’m Principal Nezu!” He squeaked.
Wait what? This must be some kind of joke.
“Um, you're a mouse?” I gaped at him, not realizing how ridiculous I sounded.
“Oh yes, I am a mouse. But I have a quirk called High Spec which, in short, gives me an extraordinary level of intelligence!” He explained, as if it was completely normal.
My jaw still hanging open, I turned my head to see Iida, presumably to class. I looked down at Principal Nezu.
“Let’s take you to your class, shall we?”
