3rd Person's POV
As the sun begin to rise and the first light of the day crept through the window , Kaede stirred in bed . She opened her eyes and took a deep breath , inhaling the fresh and cool air . Slowly , she sat up and stretched her body , feeling the stiffness in her limbs slowly start to dissipate. The latter started to get up from the bed then started to do her morning routine .

Kaede's POV
It was yesterday when I attended the meeting. It went well and there was no problem . Despite my bad memory , I can still remember the conversation we had yesterday .
~ Flashback ~
" Hoshizawa san , I have a proposal for you . Do you think you can lend me your ears for a while ?"
Nezu turned to my direction while asking .
" Sure . Go ahead . I'm listening." I answered , not wanting to appear rude .
" Thank you . So , I was saying .... Will you please attend our school?"
Nezu asked reluctantly while looking at me .
" ... "
I was silent for a moment , thinking about his proposal. It doesn't seem bad , isn't it ? However , the only question I had in mind was ... Why would he want me to attend school?
" Why ? "
Nezu smiled while the others stayed silent .
" Lately , reports of disappearance were quite popular . And the people who disappeared without a trace were often teenagers or children . Last week , a police officer stumbled upon a place , he found it quite eerie. And he also said that there was a strange smell coming from the place so he decided to take a look . He was very shocked and traumatized by the scene that he was still in a hospital today . The police found out that the missing people was on that place . No survivors , just the body's of the missing people . It was strange that every victims were either missing a limb or arms . So when I heard your statement about man eating demons , I suddenly came into conclusion that maybe you can help me . "
Nezu completed his statement with a serious expression. I looked at his face , and he didn't look like he was lying .
After he said that , I fell into a deep thought , ignoring the people around me .
Disappearance? Missing body parts? I'm sure it was a demon's doing . But what does it have to do by me attending school ?
After finishing my thoughts, I looked at Nezu blankly.
" Does this things happens often ? " I couldn't help but ask .
" No . It was the first time we heard about this so I was quiet worried . Of course , missing cases were common but finding them dead was new . "
I see . So is this the reason why Nezu want me to attend school?
I was reluctant at first but , isn't it my duty to protect humanity? I suddenly came into realization. Yes , I'm a demon slayer and my job is to slay demons to protect humanity.
" I guess it's not bad accepting your proposal. It was part of my job after all ."
This time , I didn't hesitated to answer .
Hearing my answer , the people in the room heaved a sigh of relief.
~ Flashback ends ~
I shaked my head , then proceeded to do my morning routine . I opened the closet that was full of clothes that Midnight bought for me . I swear , she really reminds me of Mitsuri nii.
Today , I'm going to join Aizawa san's class . I grabbed the uniform that the school provided and put it on .
'Ugh , why is the skirt so short? ' Annoyed by the skirt , I huffed lightly then put on the black socks that Midnight bought for me yesterday .
I put my hair into a neat bun and then wrapped my weapons into my haori, putting it on the bag .
I grabbed the backpack and sprinted towards Aizawa san's kitchen .
When I arrived there , Aizawa san is already seated and is sipping his coffee quietly , waiting for me .
" Good morning, Aizawa san."
I greeted which he responded with a nod. I sat on the chair opposite to him and we started to dig into our meals quietly .
After we finished eating , we left the house and went in to the car .
As Aizawa san told me , in this world , supernatural powers exists that was called "Quirks". Only eighty percent of the population has quirks while the rest twenty percent had none.
I looked at the road and was greeted by massive buildings , people and cars . I didn't realize that we arrived at the school cause I got lost in thought.
" Hoshizawa, we're here ."
Aizawa san's voice snapped me out of my thoughts . I quickly straighten my back and nodded at him . I got out of the car and followed Aizawa san inside .
We walked through the hallways for a while and then stopped at a very large and tall door that has a sign " Class 1- A " written in it .
" Is this door for titans?" I couldn't help but ask. Then I heard Aizawa's chuckle .
" Enter when I call your name ."
Aizawa san simply said after he's done chuckling then he slides the door open . I responded with a hum to his sentence and then waited outside the door .
...
3rd Person's POV
The classroom door of Class -1 A slid open , revealing Aizawa . From his presence , the originally noisy room became quiet in an instant. He walked to the table then turned his head on the students .
" Today , a new student will be joining the class."
Aizawa's words made the class shocked . They erupted into series of discussion , causing for Aizawa to click his tongue .
" Keep quiet!" His hair stood up as his eyes glowed red , making the whole class stop their discussions and shut their mouths .
" Come in, Hoshizawa." Everyone turned their attention to the door and looked at the girl who entered the room . Her dull blue eyes blinked as she made her way in front of the class .
" Introduce yourself."
" The name's Hoshizawa Kaede." The girl introduced herself bluntly.
" Excuse me!" A student with glasses rose his hand .
" Yes ?"
" Why are you only joining now ? Yesterday was the first day of school ."
Aizawa answered him . " She's a transfer. "
The boy nodded in satisfaction then proceeded to sit down . With that , another student rose their hand .
" How old are you ?" A pink skinned girl asked the blank faced Kaede .
Kaede looked at her for a moment. " I'm fourteen ."
Kaede's blunt answer left the class in shock . Then , a yellow haired boy asked this time .
" What's your quirk ? " Kaede knew that this would be asked and she had the answer prepared on the tip of her tongue . " Healing ."
" Tch , a weak quirk ." Kaede heard a statement and she turned her head to look a the source of the voice . It was an ash blonde haired boy with an aggressive expression on his face .
" Sit down beside Todoroki . Todoroki, raise your hand ."
A dual haired boy raised his hand . Kaede looked up and met his heterochromic eyes . Kaede felt a little drawn from the boy's eyes but she shaked her head to go back to her senses .
She took a seat beside the window . On her left side is where the dual haired boy was sitting .
...
Kaede's POV
The day dragged on , and I was honestly bored . English was useless , since I was fluent since the age of six . Then, there was lunchtime .
I sat at a table , far away from people cause I feel like my eardrums were going to burst if I continued to stay into a crowded area .
To my surprise, students from the class I recently joined approached me .
" Umm... Hoshizawa san , can we sit here ? " A girl that had a short auburn hair with eyes that matched in color , asked with a tray of food in her hands .
I stayed silent for a few seconds before opening my mouth and spoke .
" Kay ."
She beamed and sat down beside me . There were two people too , who sat down on the opposite side . It was the blue haired boy with glasses from earlier and a scruffy green haired boy with freckles scattered across his face .
I lowered my head as I heard the girl shout , making me wince quietly and cover my ears .
" Todoroki kun, come and sit here !"
I looked over who she was yelling at only to see the heterochromic boy that was sitting beside me .
He stared at us for a moment before making his way towards our table . We made eye contact but he quickly averted his eyes . I raised an eyebrow at his behavior but immediately lowered my head to look at my meal .
He arrived and murmured a little thanks before sitting down beside me .
" By the way Hoshizawa san , my name is Uraraka Ochaco , this is Iida Tenya , Midoriya Izuku and Todoroki Shoto." The girl pointed each people from her , to the blue haired guy , and the green haired guy and lastly , to the boy beside me .
" It's no use introducing yourself." I murmured. I thought they didn't hear me but they did , really .
" Huh ? Why ?" This time , the blue haired guy asked then looked at me with a frown .
I pursed my lips , blinked several times , before answering .
" I'm bad at remembering names ." I'm literally telling the truth . I can only remember Aizawa's name because I told him to remind me every time. He even reminded me the names of the UA teachers and he said that I should remember their names because I'm going to be a UA student from now on.
" Oh ." The four sudden said as if they came into a realization .
I silently clicked my tongue and sighed . ' This day is going so slowly .'
...
( Still Kaede's POV)
Finally , lunch was over and I made my way into my respective class . As I waited for the teacher to arrive , I feel neither familiar nor unfamiliar energy racing down the halls .
" I am...coming through the door like a normal person !"
Allmight burst through the door in the most abnormal way I have ever seen in my entire life . I feel like rolling my eyes but I held back . The class burst into excitement at the mere sight of him . What's so special?
He explained something about Hero Basic Training thing as I rested my cheeks on my palm .
" Today , we will be doing combat training!" Allmight announced , making me lift my head to look at him . " And to go with that , are this !" He outstretched his arms to the wall as containers with the class' hero outfits emerged . I heard that's what they call it , I think .
" Costumes made based on your quirk registrations and request you sent in before school started . Allmight explained . " After you're done changing, meet up at the ground Beta ."
...
3rd Person's POV
Once everyone got into their costumes , the class made their way to ground Beta , where the Hero Basic Training will be held .
Kaede stared at Midoriya, then at Allmight . ' Is it just me or Midoriya and Allmight were looking similar now ? ' Several question marks appeared above Kaede's head as she tilted her head in confusion . She really wasn't paying too much attention until she heard multiple questions coming from different students .
Sighing , Kaede scratched her head then waited for the noise to dissipate. Allmight pulled out and opened a book , reading it aloud.
" Teams and opponents will be determined by drawing lots !" Allmight finally yelled , holding up a large yellow box .
Kaede ended up being paired with Todoroki , what a coincidence.
Kaede stood in the back of the room , trying to avoid people as much as possible, but to no avail . A boy with bright yellow hair and a black ...' Wait , that's the boy who asked what my quirk is .' She somehow remembered , what luck .
Kaede glance at him , and he seemed to be grinning from ear to ear . Not deviously or anything, just because he was happy . It was kinda weird .
" Hey , your the new girl !"
Ah , so he talks .
" No , I'm not ." Kaede sarcastically remarked. She noticed that someone was listening to their conversation. Not that she cared though.
The boy stared at her , awaiting for a second response , only for Kaede to look back at the large screen projecting the fight .
The first teams up against each other were Bakugo and Iida versus Midoriya and Uraraka . Not that Kaede remembered their names though . She forgot . As usual .
Even with Kaede's ability to sense energy through the ground , she knew that something was going on between Bakugo and Midoriya. Even though she only arrived today , she can feel it .
" Hey is there something wrong ?" The boy beside Kaede asked as he looked towards her . " I'm Kaminari Denki by the way , nice to meet you !"
" Okay ." Kaede dryly replied , too lazy to talk to someone.
He scratched the back of his head . " Ehe ...I thought you were too shy to talk so I talked to you first , umm yeah..."
'It seems like his attempt of flirting failed .' Todoroki, who was eavesdropping at the corner thought .
" If you don't have anything to say, shut up ." Kaede answered the lad then looked back at the screen .
The boy chuckled awkwardly then turned to look at the screen .
It was pretty calm , Uraraka and Midoriya making their way up to the building , but suddenly,
" Holy crap !" Kaminari flinched as Bakugo came running from around the corner , his explosion already aflame .
" A surprise attack from the start ?"
Kaede looked at the ground . ' Not too surprising honestly , seeing as he seems to have a hot temper , especially when it comes to Midoriya . But he seems to have brains behind those angry eyes , no doubt .'
Bakugo launched forward , his right hand outstretched, but only for Midoriya to grab it , turn , and slam him onto the ground .
Kaede remembered watching a video of the entrance exam yesterday , only to find out that Midoriya destroyed a big and massive robot . If he were to use his quirk here , he would kill someone, no doubt about it .
" You seem to be deep in thought huh ?"
Kaede looked up to meet Kaminari's golden eyes and said . " What ?"
" No it's nothing ."
" Seems like Iida Kun didn't know he was planning that though ."
Kaminari tilted his head and look at where Kaede was staring , only to see that Iida was kind of ... frustrated.
" Oh , your pretty observant ."
"....."
Kaede didn't answer and just quietly observed again .
Kaede looked at Todoroki , who didn't have someone talking in his ear every time he tried to think . Kaede really wanted to complain .
' Ugh . I envy you Todoroki .'
" Whoa , hey ! Look !"
Looking up the screen , Kaede noticed Midoriya wrapped the capture tape on Bakugo's ankle . The form looked quite familiar ... ' Uh... Aizawa? '
Bakugo swung his right arm and aimed it straight but only to be dodged by Midoriya before his fist made contact to the latter's face .
" Wow , that guy's amazing!"
" He's not even using his quirk against the guy who ranked first in the entrance exam !"
Kaminari poked Kaede's arm .
" Hey ,do you know why ?"
Despite in Kaede's irritation , she still answered .
" Well , I noticed they had nicknames , so they've probably know each other for a long time . And we've already elaborated that the Bakugo guy or something is short-tempered and impatient. And from the surprise attack before , you can also tell that he's right handed ."
At the end of that , Kaede was sure that she was being stared by everyone , including Allmight.
Kaminari's jaw dropped through the floor . He stared at Kaede with shining eyes .
" You got that just from observing?" A red haired guy asked .
" It's somewhat simple if you string them altogether." Kaede murmured.
As Midoriya and Bakugo continued to bicker , Midoriya stepped back and lost him .
Bakugo looked quite irritated. His eye seemingly blinded with rage . From what Kaede could tell about the scent he had , he was somewhat prideful , and confident to a certain extent.
However, pride can lead you to shame . Once you get pushed off that high pedestal you put yourself on , it'll hurt when you get pushed off .
" You tricked me! "
Kaede read Bakugo's lips .
" Was it fun tricking me all those years !?"
" Hm ? " Kaminari glanced at Kaede's direction. " You seem deep in thought ."
" It looks like the face she had five minutes ago." Kirishima said .
Kaede ignored the two and peered to the screen , seeing Uraraka making her way to Iida's location. After a while, Bakugo finally found Midoriya, while Uraraka was facing Iida .
" Huh ? What is he pulling out ? " Kaminari questioned. Kaede squinted her eyes . " It's the grenade thing on his arm . "
" Young Bakugo, stop ! " Allmight yelled. He wanted to stop Bakugo's action , but it was already too late.
* Boom ! *
The ground shook as Kaede stumbled unto someone's arms . She felt the person's arm wrap around her waist, stopping her from falling.
Kaede looked up and met Todoroki's heterochromia eyes . " Are you alright ? " He stared with a hint of worry in his tone.
" Yes , I'm alright . Thank you ." Kaede stood up to her feet and looked down .
" Hey , you alright there ? " Kaminari questioned. Kaede nodded. ' Why is he talking again? '
Kaede looked up to the screen to see if Midoriya was fine .
His body was battered with bruises .
" Despite Bakugo's recklessness, he still had sanity left . Somewhere ... Maybe... " Kaede's statement made Kaminari and Kirishima chuckle .
Kaede looked at the screen to see Bakugo who was advancing towards Midoriya as he was up against a window .
" Should we really continue this ? " Kirishima asked worriedly. " Isn't this only a class ? "
Allmight gritted his teeth as Bakugo and Midoriya pulled their arms into a punching position.
" Young Bakugo! Sto- " Kaede cut off Allmight's statement. " Don't worry , Midoriya will punch upwards . "
Allmight reluctantly nodded and stop what he's about to say .
Kaede knew Midoriya's plan when he led Bakugo under the floor that the " bomb " was in .
Midoriya punched upwards , redirecting the explosion into Iida and Uraraka .
Uraraka grabbed onto the "bomb" , making their team win .
On the floor below , the dust cleared , revealing a beaten up Midoriya.
...
Everyone was gathered around to hear the results.
" Despite what I just said , the MPV of this match is Iida Tenya! " Allmight announced.
A frog girl asked with her hand on her chin. " Not one of the winners , Ochaco or Midoriya? "
" Nope , does anyone knew why ? "
" Allmight sensei! " A raven haired girl rose her hand , with an eager expression on her face.
The girl , explained a lengthy explanation about why is Iida the MPV , Kaede agreed but ...she should have left a few parts .
" Y-yes that's correct! Thank you young Yaoyorozu." Allmight stuttered , definitely having the same thought as Kaede . " Next match will be team B and team K ! "
Kaede looked at Todoroki which he also did.
" I guess we're next . "
Taisho secret! :
Some of you may notice the scene that Kaede thought ' Ugh, I envy you Todoroki ' . That scene, Kaede subconsciously remembered Todoroki's name even though she confessed that she was bad at remembering names.
After the meeting in the previous chapter, Kaede told the pro heroes about her mysterious healing ability and got it checked. Kaede's healing ability can heal any kind of wound such as scratches, abrasions or even detached parts of the body can be treated by her . It's also like a regeneration ability and Kaede can heal herself without losing energy. Her ability didn't have any drawbacks so it was advantageous for her.
There's another scene that Todoroki eavesdropped at Kaede and Kaminari's one sided conversation. He felt that he wanted to strangle Kaminari because he was leaning too close to Kaede. He's still confused what's going on with him and he'll probably ask her sister about it. Woo , romance is blooming!
