Chapter XIV

The first day of school.

And Izuku had already somehow became late.

The boy wasn't used to having to actually leave his house to go to school, so he underestimated how long it would take to get there. So now he was running through the halls of UA desperately trying to find his class.

That is until he ran straight into someone while he was looking at the copy of the school map he had downloaded onto his phone.

After the initial shock of falling flat on his butt Izuku quickly went to apologizing

"I-I'm sorry I-I wasn't l-looking where I-I was going a-and-."

"Hey man don't worry about it! Besides you're the one who took the hit not me!" Eijirou Kirishima, 15-years-old, Alpha, Occupation: 1st year student, Mate: unknown. Kirishima said as he grabbed Izuku's arm and hoisted the boy up effortlessly, which in turned caused Izuku to squeak in surprise.

"The names Eijirou Kirishima, its nice to meet you. Now where were you running to?" Kirishima asked as Izuku had to look up to actually meet the other boy's eyes, and Kirishima had to look down a bit to see Izuku's well-hidden face.

"C-Class 1-A, H-Hero Course." Izuku stuttered, though internally cursing himself for, once again neglecting his social and vocal skills training.

"Oh! Awesome! I'm in that class too! Here we'll find it together!" Kirishima offered, well more so ordered as he grabbed onto Izuku's shoulder and led the boy, or more so dragged him. While Izuku who was left surprised didn't dare fight the older boy as he dragged him.

Though once the two had reached the classroom Izuku once again felt horribly intimidated by the size and the loud chatter coming from the other side.

"Hey, you nervous?" Kirishima asked as he patted Izuku shoulder gently.

"Y-Yes- I-I mean n-no!" Izuku stuttered as his blush somehow reached far past the barrier of his mask. To which Kirishima only chuckled at.

"L-Lets just go i-inside." Izuku mumbled as he pushed open the door, though thankful to see that the loud chatter was only coming from a small group of people, while many of the other students seemed to still not be there.

Though at the same time Izuku internally groaned at the idea of it being louder.

Though what truly caught him by surprise was seeing Iida, not only in the classroom but staring directly at him. Though Izuku flinched horribly when the boy started walking towards him and Kirishima.

Kirishima didn't fail to notice Izuku's flinch towards the other Alpha, and naturally Kirishima placed a hand on Izuku's shoulder.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both, I am Tenya Iida." Iida said as he motioned towards Izuku, while the poor boy practically began to shake where he stood.

"I am happy to see that you got into the Hero Course. Your performance during the exams was quite heroic." Iida stated while Izuku only bowed his head respectfully.

"Hey! Its you!" Ochako shouted excitedly as she pulled Izuku away from the two Alpha's.

"I'm so happy that you got in! I was worried when you didn't get any points" Ochako said as she hugged the boy tightly, while Izuku flinched at the contact, he only stiffened instead, though Ochako noticed immediately and let go of Izuku while give him an apologetic look, to which Izuku only nodded.

"Oi! Will you extra's shut up and get your asses in a seat already!!" Katsuki Bakugo, 15-years-old, Alpha, Occupation: 1st year student, Mate: unknown. Bakugo shouted while Iida immediately went to scolding the other Alpha about his rude behavior.

Though Kirishima, Ochako, and Izuku quickly took their seats, Izuku wasn't all too thrilled he would be sat behind the loud blonde.

But once everyone else began to pile into the classroom, just as Izuku had expected it only got louder.

Though when Aizawa walked into the room, immediately everyone shut up as the teacher glared harshly at them.

"I am Mr. Aizawa or Eraserhead. It took you all a full 8 seconds to give your attention to me. That will not be how this class behaves. I will have your full attention the very second I walked into the room is that understood." Aizawa stated more so than asked as the entire class replied.

"Yes, Mr. Aizawa!"

"Good, now everyone put on your gym uniforms a few tests will be ran today."

"But sir do we not have to get to the orientation?" Iida asked

"And waste our time? No, now go do as I said." Aizawa stated as the entire class went to go change.

Once outside Aizawa held the tests as he also gave them the logical ruse that someone would be expelled if they ended up in last place. While it was Mineta who ended up in last place as the boy panicked.

Aizawa couldn't help but notice that despite the fact that every other student had used their quirks to help aid them in the tests, Izuku had not used his once. While Aizawa wasn't sure what the reason was, he wanted to know.

He wanted to know why on Earth a boy with such a strong quirk, who clearly knew how to use it well, refused to.

Though Izuku wasn't the only one Aizawa had to worry about with that issue. Another boy Shoto Todoroki made it very clear he refused to use his left side.

It seemed as though Aizawa had plenty of problem children to deal with.

The end of the day couldn't have come fast enough for Izuku, while the boy was happy that he had seemed to make at least 2 new friends, Kirishima, and Ochako, he was tired, and mentally exhausted.

He had no idea how people could deal with other people on a regular and not feel completely drained.

Though as Izuku had begun to walk out of the UA gates, he was stopped by a stern hand on his shoulder.

Though when Izuku turned around, he merely paled.

Iida was the one who had stopped him.

"Can I have a word with you please?" Iida asked as he motioned for one of the brick hedges that surrounded the gardens.

Izuku merely nodded as he followed Iida over to the gardens, where they both then sat on the hedge.

While neither said a thing the tension was so thick it would take a sword to cut through it.

"Were you ever going to tell me? Were you ever going to tell any of us?" Iida asked as he looked to his lap, unable to look Izuku in the eye.

"What?" Izuku asked quietly

"Izuku." Iida stated as Izuku flinched at the use of his given name

"You act as if I haven't known you my whole life." Iida said with a dry laugh while Izuku merely teared up, though he fought against his urge to cry.

"I-I'm s-sorry Tenya" Izuku said weakly as he struggled against the lump in his throat.

"I thought you were dead, we all thought you were dead. Where have you been? Why didn't you tell us you were alive? Who is taking care of you? How are you at UA now? You're a year younger than everyone! Are you okay?!" Iida rambled as he finally looked at Izuku, though his own tears fogged up his regular square glasses.

Izuku couldn't hold back the tears anymore as he hugged his friend tightly, while Iida returned the gesture, as he gripped onto Izuku tightly.

"T-Tenya.... I-I promise I-I'm okay n-now, I-I'll tell you e-everything... J-Just not y-yet please... I-I can't.... I-I'm sorry" Izuku stated through his sobs. While Iida released Izuku gently.

"O-Okay, I promise I'll be patient, but please at least promise me your safe now, and at the very least tell me how on Earth did you get into UA a year early?" Iida asked as he took off his glasses to wipe his eyes and clear the fog, while Izuku wiped his own face as he readjusted his mask.

"I-I guess they really d-didn't care h-how old I-I was, o-or maybe they j-just forgot to check." Izuku said with a bit of a laugh, while Iida chuckled to himself.

"But you're, okay? You're not hurt right?"

"I p-promise you, I-I'm all r-right, just p-please don't tell a-anyone yet. I-I need t-to tell them m-myself. A-And I-I need to sort s-some things out" Izuku asked while Iida only sighed

"Okay you have my word. But you can't hide this forever."

"I-I know" Izuku said with a nod as he rubbed his shoulder sheepishly

"I like your hair by the way" Iida said with a bit of a chuckle

What a first day.
