I'm occasionally chilling in JaxWolf4's (Author of Nah, I'd Adapt) Discord Server. It's a chaotic lobotomy mess. Not for the faint of heart.

-Story Start-
You know, throughout their months together practically stranded in a new reality.
Through thick and thin.
Their travels throughout this Quirky Japan.
Settling in Musutafu and the gradual discoveries of how the world of heroes and villains sort of works...
Yuji would admit he's gotten to know Aoi very well.
...More than one would comfortably admit.
Being on the receiving end back in his Jujutsu Sorceror days and through seeing it many many times as of recently - Yuji is familiar with Aoi's Unique way of evaluating others.
...
And the violent repercussions that may occur if they disappoint him.
Now, beating up some less-than-tasteful individuals and setting them straight as collateral of having bad taste according to Aoi wasn't really an issue for Yuji.
They deserved that much, those grunts.
So, surely Aoi would have some situational awareness and not enact a violent response to a fellow classmate's poor taste in the middle of a classroom on their first day.
...
'HE ACTUALLY PUNCHED HIM?!' Yuji's mouth hung loose as Aoi's fist flew in a powerful right hook towards the scowling Bakugo.
Whether it was prodigal talent or a natural keen instinct that allowed someone so inexperienced in combat to react.
Whatever it was, Bakugo barely managed to bring his left arm to guard his face.
His forearm absorbed the blow rather poorly as Aoi's punch connected and pushed Bakugo's own forearm into his face, sending the poor boy flying toward a classmate with spiky red hair.
Everyone present gasped at the sudden fight that broke out, as the classmate immediately hardened his entire skin to stone to absorb the impact through the usage of his quirk and caught the flying Bakugo.
Calming himself he lowered his head to Bakugo, "You good ma-" He inquired only to freeze as Aoi's hulking figure moved at a disturbing speed.
Only to stop in an instant as a firm grip held him in place.
"Bro, stop!" Yuji firmly demanded, shaking his head as Aoi's head turned to meet his serious look.
Yuji's shout was what brought all the prospective Heroes to their senses.
Aoi opened his mouth to retort only to feel tape wrapping his limbs, "Calm down, that was completely uncalled fo-" The classmate chastised with an uneasy frown only to be interrupted by another loud shout.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD! I'LL MURDER YOU!" Bakugo roared out as blood seeped from his mouth at Aoi's powerful punch, the red-haired classmate doing his best to hold onto the squirming Bakugo.
Sparks flew out of Bakugo's hands but only for another student to assist - a Heteromorphic boy with multiple arms and is roughly equal to Aoi in stature.
His multiple arms held onto Bakugo firmly, his masked face similarly uneasy as the others who suddenly realized that a fight just broke out.
A well-bred girl with a ponytail nodded, "I'll go look for a teacher, hold on to them!" She announced much to the relief of her unaquainted distressed classmates.
"DON'T CALL A TEACHER! LET ME GO AND I'LL FUCK HIM UP MYSE-" The multiarmed student who restrained the snarling Bakugo took a piece of tape from the one holding onto Aoi and shut his mouth close.
"I'll come with you!" Tenya Ida offered his assistance to the pony-tailed girl.
They immediately rushed towards the door, and in that situation, the wrapped figure of Aoi whom Yuji was still holding onto tightly sighed audibly.
His eyes narrowed at snarling Bakugo, and he frowned deeply, "Rejoice. The only reason you are not reprimanded for your pathetic dismissal of a taste is because of my brother's plea."
Bakugo looked incredibly keen on responding, however, his mouth was restrained.
At that announcement, Aoi's muscles relaxed and Yuji's firm grip and frown lifted as well.
The classmates had figured that was the aggressor's announcement of ceasing his offensive and thus have lowered their guards as well - but not completely.
Arriving at the door, the two dutiful classmates were put to a stop at the sight of a strange, creepy-looking undoubtedly sleep-deprived man standing in front of it as they slid it open.
"No need to look for a teacher." His words felt low effort completely, fitting his look to a T.
"Umm... what's with the commotion?" A rosy-cheeked girl arrived beside him, appearing like a deer caught in the headlights as she tried to process what happened in the classroom prior to her arrival.
Sighing audibly, the sleep-deprived man spoke with a bit more emotion, "I wasn't planning on arriving before the designated time of the class." He admitted.
Introducing himself swiftly to confirm his authority to all those present, "Shota Aizawa the homeroom teacher of Class 1-A."
At that announcement, the students who restrained Aoi and Bakugo backed away releasing their grip from both.
The red-haired boy had to carefully back away from the snarling Bakugo.
Aizawa's eyes scrutinized the classroom, and his gaze narrowed at the figures of Aoi and Bakugo whose figure trembled with rage.
His eyes lingered particularly on Aoi, a clear familiarity and disdain crossed his features as well as his tone.
"I hate being right... but I didn't expect you to prove me correct so soon, Todo Aoi." He glared harshly at the unfazed and stoic Aoi.
Yuji blinked, "What did you do?" He asked with a mixture of exasperation and worry for his eccentric brother.
"Nothing of great consequence, my friend," Aoi smirked, even in the face of harsh scrutiny.
He practically spat out, "I don't care how much Nezu likes you, after a stunt like that and many more to come I am certain... I am expelli-"
Much to the surprise of everyone present, the one who spoke up this time was...
Katsuki Bakugo.
"I slipped." He spat out with gritted teeth.
Everyone present turned to look at the busted lip of the uncouth boy with bewildered looks, whilst Aoi hummed impressed but unsurprised.
"WHAT ARE ALL OF YOU LOOKING AT? I'M FINE DAMN IT!"
Aizawa frowned, "Are you certain you don't need to see Recover-"
"I SAID I'M FINE!" He declared with certainty and barely restrained emotion.
His snarl turned to Aoi, "YOU! JUST YOU WAIT YOU FREAK! I'LL BEAT YOU TO A PULP WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YO-"
"You won't. Because he's getting expelled. U.A. has a zero-tolerance policy towards violence outside of training and spars-"
Aoi's smirk broadened, "He said he had slipped, had he not?"
Yuji was currently feeling like he'd prefer if the ground could swallow him whole.
'Couldn't he have just beaten up in some sparring session or anything?!'
It appears he had yet to get used to Aoi's eccentricities.
Nor understand his machinations.
Aizawa was unimpressed, looking at the perplexed classmates ignoring the arrival of the grape-haired boy who inquired, "What's with the awkward atmosphere?"
Aizawa looked Tenya Ida specifically, "Did he slip?"
Without a moment's hesitation, Ida replied with a mechanical shake of his head, "He did not! Sensei! After what appeared to be a disagreement, Todo-san suddenly assaulted Bakugo-san!" He made sharp, exaggerated gestures with his hands to emphasize the gravity of the situation.
Snarking, Bakugo spoke again, once more surprising everyone present, "WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!"
He turned to look at Aizawa, "ARE YOU TELLING ME WE CAN GET EXPELLED FOR LITTLE KIDDY FIGHTS LIKE THIS? FOR THROWING A LITTLE PUNCH?"
He scoffed, "WHAT'S NEXT? YOU GONNA WIPE MY ASS FOR ME, SENSEI?"
The red-haired classmate looked at Bakugo with strange enlightenment, muttering an audible exclamation by all, "H-How manly!"
Having calmed down for a moment, Bakugo retorted, "It's common sense, dumbass."
...
Aizawa had to pinch his brows in frustration, "Problem children..." He muttered under his breath.
He turned to Bakugo, "I won't be expelling Todo. Yet. I need confirmation, are you certain you can function at your one-hundred percent?"
"More than that," Bakugo replied with a scowl.
Nodding in understanding, Aizawa turned to the classroom, "We're skipping orientation, grab your Gym clothes and meet me in the P.E. Grounds." He turned to Ida once again, "You stay here and make sure to inform the eight who have yet to arrive where you are heading."
He then turned to Aoi, "As for you... once the curriculum is over for the day, you will head to Nezu's office with me. Am I clear?"
While Todo Aoi had his faults, in terms of performance in the little test he is going to set up...
Aizawa regrettably held no doubts that the eccentric problem child would perform.
"Crystal." Aoi's smirk persisted even in the face of Aizawa's harsh and demanding tone.
-------------------------------
"Usually you're very smart, but even I can admit that was pretty dumb, dude... couldn't you have just beaten him up in training or something?" Yuji's question echoed loudly in the changing rooms.
"I fail to see the issue." Aoi shook his head, naught a hint of regret in his actions.
Yuji deadpanned as he took off his shirt and gestured at the other boys who made sure to keep a wide berth between them and Aoi... and consequently Yuji.
Seeing the small groups and the isolation - first impressions were a bust indeed.
Aoi snorted, "Acting unlike yourself is the epitome of cowardice, brother."
"In plain Japanese?"
"I refuse to be a coward."
"Didn't you sucker punch him?" He pointed a thumb at the fuming Bakugo in the back.
"He blocked it, didn't he? It was most certainly a predictable strike."
"Uh-huh... well, I'm not saying that, what I mean is couldn't you just have held back a little?" Yuji pinched his fingers to emphasize.
"I did." He nodded proudly.
"Now did you mention it you didn't put any-"
'Cursed Energy in that punch.' Yuji thought.
Shaking his head, Yuji corrected, "Not that! I mean like... wait for an opportunity to beat him up without any consequences or singeling us out?"
Aoi was about to retort, only for a haughty voice to chime in.
"He can't wait for that opportunity because once it comes, and it will... I'LL SKIN YOU ALIVE! THAT SUCKER PUNCH MEANT NOTHING!" Bakugo approached the shirtless Aoi and Yuji with naught a care in the world.
Aoi smirked, "I look forward to it." He towered over the figure of Bakugo who stood steadfast and with a mighty competitive smirk.
At Bakugo's side, was the spiky red-haired boy who held the snarling Bakugo at the earlier little scuffle.
He appeared slightly uncomfortable, but flashed a boisterous smile easing the tension in the air, "Those are some manly muscles!" He pointed at both Yuji and Aoi.
Yuji's deadpan expression brightened up at the friendly classmate's approach, "Thanks! You're not too shabby yourself man!"
Chuckling, the red-haired boy extended his hand for a handshake, "I think we all sorta started on the wrong foot."
The tape boy snorted from afar, overhearing the conversation alongside a sheepish blonde-haired boy who was completely clueless as to what happened, "Heh, especially these two." He gestured at the topics of the recent event.
The red-haired boy introduced himself, "I'm Eijiro Kirishima. Itadori-san and Todo-san right?"
"Yup! Nice to meet you!" Yuji smiled and they firmly shook hands.
Gesturing for Yuji to come closer, and doing as prompted, Kirishima whispered, "You mind helping me get those two to make peace with each other? I think it'll do better for everyone presen-"
Suddenly, in between the two smirking visages of Aoi and Bakugo stood a dwarfish boy with purple hair who innocently inquired:
"I missed the fight... but spiky hair, I heard Gorilla-kun made you his bitch, can you confirm?"
To Be Continued!
-Author Note Start-
Sorry for the short chapter, I'll be pumping these out quickly to get done with the first day.
There are too many FUCKING CHARACTERS RAHHH.
But, I'll only highlight a bit of em, not all of em.
Anywho hope you've enjoyed this lil nugget and it was up to par in quality n shi.
I will warn you guys, it'll be hard but I'll try my best to give spotlight to all characters but some will get more than others (Except the 3 MC'S & Deku).
Some will develop differently than Canon, some will be stronger or weaker accordingly or will be slightly more or less mature.
Really depends on how the Bruzzah's impact snowballs and changes things.
And whatever madness Todo cooks up lol.
Nezu and Todo gotta be 2nd most broken duo in this series ngl.
Anyway!
Love ya! Cya! Bu Bye!
I'll also appreciate any and all constructive criticism and feedback regarding the characters that appear in this fic (Especially my representation of the Bruzzahs.)
