Chapter 22 - Chapter 22 - Student Zero

It's been a few days since the USJ Incident, as usual, Kaito was the first to arrive at school, After a few minutes Todoroki and Momo came, Todoroki went to his seat but Momo brought out a magazine and went to Momo

"Kaito-kun, Why didn't you tell us that you were famous?" Kaito was confused and Todoroki became interested and got up, Walking towards the two as Momo handed the magazine to Kaito

The magazine cover was Kaito, modeling for Best Jeanist's Company, Todoroki and Kaito were looking while flipping through the pages as they see Bakugo and the Bakusquad

"..They work faster than I thought.. I wonder how the other's are doing.. especially with this new found fame.." Kaito said as more of their classmates came inside the classroom, Going to Kaito, asking about the modeling thing, Kaito answered that it was only a coincidence that they ended up modeling for him

In the end, Bakugo, Mina, Sero, Kirishima and Kaminari were the last ones to arrive, They looked tired out as Bakugo went to his seat while the rest fell onto their knees as Mina yelled out

"Being famous I'd not what I thought at all!! Screw the famous life, I wanna go back to my normal life!!" Mina said as the other three agreed as they see Kaito infront of them giving them a small bag of chocolates

"..here.. now cheer up.. this is only a part of being a hero.. you'll have to endure more than this so.. keep up the good work.."

Mina and the others had tears in their eyes as they accepted the chocolate and hugged Kaito while saying in unison

"Kaito/Kaibro! You're an angel, Please never leave or go missing again!!" Kaito patted the heads of the four as Midoriya said

"That's impressive, Kaito-kun calmed them down in an instant" Uraraka, Tsuyu and Iida walked up to him as Tsuyu said

"Kaito-kun is the oldest so it only makes sense he'd be able to calm them down, I have younger siblings but even I can't calm them like that, ribbit" Tsuyu said as Kaito helped the four go to their seats as Aizawa walked inside

It was now the end of the day, Aizawa already announced the Sports Festival is coming soon, Everyone was excited as Kaito went to Todoroki, asking him if he could try a new move that he's been thinking and he needed him for it to work, Todoroki became curious and agreed to come as they hear Midoriya and Uraraka's suprised gasps

Everyone turned to see students were blocking the door, Todoroki and Kaito were going to ask to leave as a student with purple hair come inside their classroom and look around "So.. this is Class 1-A? Interesting.. You know-"

Before he could continue Kaito interrupted him "..Ah- Sorry but could you let us pass for a moment? ..we have somewhere we need to be.."

"..Eh..?"

"..Like I said.. we have to go train and I'd rather not waste time listening to a pointless declaration of war.." Kaito, Todoroki and Kaminari walked past him as the purple haired student turned to look at him and said

"Are all Class 1-A students like this? Stuck up? Like to trample on others? Hah.. I should have guessed" Kaito stopped as he turned to look at the student

Kaito sighed as he said "..Hiroshi Shinso, Quirk, Brainwashing, It allows the user to put someone in a state where they are forced to obey whatever they command.. The user can only activate this power when the target verbally responds to something the user says.. Brainwashing must be intentionally activated and will not take effect if the user doesn't want it to.."

"How'd you-"

"..You passed the written portion with flying colors.. but failed the practical portion since your quirk doesn't have the destructive power to destroy the robots.. But if you listened, you might have knows that Mic-sensei said 'defeat' not 'destroy' meaning there was more than one way to 'defeat' the robots in the exam.. of course I didn't participate so I could be missing some information on you as well as the entrace exam.."

The students were stunned silent as Shinso asked "What do you mean.. didn't participate in the exam.. you mean you got in through recommendations?"

"..Not exactly.. To put it simply, I am the first student of Class 1-A even before the Entrance and Recommendations exams existed.. I'm sure the rumors about 'Student Zero' has kept you all well informed.."

The students started whispering and talking as Kaminari pulled on Kaito's shirt, Kaito looked at him as he asked "What rumor?"

Kaito patted his head and said ".. Apperantly someone has spread rumors of a 1-A student who mysteriously got in but they never took the Entrance or Recommendations exam.. Apperantly they were keeping it under wraps from 1-A but I had my ways to gain access on these rumors.."

Kaito picked up Kaminari and placed him on his shoulder, carrying him, The size difference was surreal as Kaito turned to look at Shinso "..Now, Hitoshi Shinso.. If you want to continue your declaration then go a head but just know.. that a declaration of war was already announced as soon as The Sports Festival was announced.. Not only are we competing with each other.. Where also competing with all the students in the other departments.. this is also a test to see if the students are fit to stay where they are or.. someone from Class 1-A or 1-B will get replaced by a General Course Studies Student.. so I'll say this just once.."

Kaito's usually calm demeanor was instantly replaced by a piercing glare, making all the students who were present have a shiver down their spine

"Get the hell out of our way."

The students who were blocking the door all ran away, Shinso looked pissed but left as Kaito carried Kaminari to the changing room to train while Todoroki and the Bakusquad went to follow them, curious on how Kaito's training routine is

Class 1-A understood now as they all went their separate ways to train on their own, Hoping to have a chance to face Kaito and win the Festival
