Chapter 4 - Meet Class 1-A

...

-Kaminari POV-

My routine was finally stablished after months of being here, I'm trying to be as productive as I can without having a burnout, so I did a schedule. Waking up at 05:00 AM was early enough to be productive and not be sleep deprived, from there it was straight to a morning run through the beach and a swim, the salt water helps me in a weird way, still gonna see what specifically salt water does with electricity.

The collar has it's perks all things considered such as allowing me to enter bodies of water without the fear of accidentaly shocking people around me, I would zap people if I was wet no amount of conscious control could stop this. Water parks were complicated. Nowadays I have to worry about insulators like rubber and not being actively electrified otherwise I will shock circuit and be out of comission. You see, I am "immune" to electricity running through my body as long as I don't touch water. It's shameful to always be aware of rainy days.

I see there's still time to not rush things, unlike back home, I have to be there at 8:25 'til 16:10-unlike the terrible 7:30/17:30 in my old school- so I have some time to spare. Heavy breakfast, waving Ana goodbye and off to U.A we go, our oficially first day is here.

U.A is huge, had to take directions here and there to finally arrive at my designated class, 1-A of the Department of Heroes branch, all A and B classrooms of U.A are to become heroes once graduating.The door was huge, probaly with gigantism quirks students in mind when designed. Slid the door and went in.

"GREETINGS! My name is Ilda Tenya! It's a pleasure to meet you!" What an entrance, I really thought this guy who reprimanded Midoriya wasn't gonna be this loud and upfront, Ilda Tenya, this guy is about my height, looked like he participated in my Dad's trainings regiments from how well built he is, the glasses gave him a nerdy look. He blasted in front of me and over-articulated, caughting me off guard, not gonna lie.

"Hello there, Tenya Ilda." Play it cool, I'm really trying to be friendly and make friends here. "I'm Kaminari Raio, it's great to finally meet you." His locked in smile made him a great character impossible to be missed, I feel like we're gonna get along nice. I found my seat while still chatting with Ilda, he turned his attention, so did I, at the door loudly swinging wide open, Katsuki Bakugou arrived.

"So you'll be the NPCs I will have to deal with now, huh?!" His voice was rough, like a death metal singer, his statment striked me as amusing and cringe, like he indeed believe that we were extras in his way. He threw his backpack at what I can guess it was his seat across the classroom, then proceeded to put is feet on the desk. Just as quickly as with me, Ilda rushed to Bakugou and berated him for "Such and inappropriate act to rest your feet on the desk!" though Bakugou ignored him and locked eyes on me, I did the same out of petiness but looked away later, I have an aversion of loud-mouth narcissistic ego types, Bakugou fitted the description like a glove.

...

Crazy that the whole Bakugou ordeal made me almost not notice the rest of the class, so I focused on those around me.

In front of me there was a Tail with hair at the end. Yes, a tail, Ojiro Mashirao was a normal dude with a tail for quirk, his aptitude for martial arts is definitely something I would want tips so I am going to know him better.

To my right we have an cheeful and easygoing loud girl with pink skin, small horns and pitch black sclera, Ashido Mina has a very energetic personality, she flooded me with questions about back home when not speaking to a curious girl with her tongue sticking out and huge anime-like eyes, think her name is Asui or something? She has abnormaly large hands.

Behind me was Kirishima Eijiro, red-haired boy with an awesome resolve, he's adamant about being the peak male performace. I would love to be his friend.

Finally, to my left, dangling earphones made of... her ears? Jiro Kyoka was a complete antithesis of Mina, she's closed, kinda shy and doesn't look out for interaction, too bad for her she's seated right next to me and Kirishima, I guess.

Finally, Bakugou's stare, surprisingly enough, wasn't the only gaze I was attracting as this... unique fellow was eyeing me like hawk, If I remember correctly he was at the Entrance Exam and shot lasers from his belly. Another foreign student like me, french boy Aoyama Yuga was a sight to behold, though a creepy smile.

Bakugou and Ilda were still in this back and forth banter about codes of conduct and NPCs behavior until Midoriya arrived, then all attention went to him with Tenya and the floatie girl Uraraka Ochako right behind. Bakugou stopped glaring at me when Aizawa Shota came in, our teacher. I really had to open my ears and concentrate to understand him, he spoke in such a lazy manner my japanese was struggling bad.

...

-Narrator POV-

And so their teacher Aizawa -known as Pro Hero: Eraser Head- gave a formal introduction in his own, little-to-no energy consuming way and explained the Quirk Apprehension Test was to be next on course, to gauge the never allowed to be used in middle school quirks of the students. After briefing, the students headed to the lockerooms.

On their way to the field, Kaminari have had little friendly chatter with Kirishima and Mashirao about how hard this test could be. Kaminari had personal concerns about the usage of his quirk on those tests. Individually, he may perform well but team based tests he was worried he could become death weight.

The lockerooms were a concept Kaminari wasn't grown accostumed to, education system back home is vastly different. Changing clothes amongst other boys wasn't a problem, but the looks made Kaminari a little timid, his body physique, although not the best of all, Sato Rikido and Shoji Mezo had way more impressive well built physiques, was enough to atract stares. The gym clothing provided by U.A fitted nicely on the body.

Out of the lockeroom and onto the field, the boys reunited with the girls and together followed along. Kaminari couldn't stop but notice a nanite boy with what seemed as balls attached to his head literally drooling at the girls. Sure, some of them looked great in gym clothing but the way he was acting gave Kaminari the feeling of creepiness, almost all of those who noticed showed to have the same idea.

On the field, Class 1-A Quirk Apprehension Test is ready to start.
