The Immortal Hero: Phoenix

Chapter 7: Class 1-A

The week before school officially started, Izuka and Katsuki trained as usual, both more fired up than ever thanks to making it in and also being in the same class together, Class 1-A. Izuka had spoken with Ochako and Momo over the phone and was happy to discover that Ochako too was in 1-A, meaning that all three of Izuka's friends would be in her class, and their home room teacher would be Aizawa-Sensei, one of the teachers she knew best since he had always supervised her Junior Internships.

On the morning of their first day, Izuka and Katsuki were dressed in their new uniforms, smiling proudly as their mothers took pictures and their fathers gave words of encouragement.

"Don't forget, I'll be a teacher too! I can't give you any special treatment though, so behave yourselves!" Toshinori grinned, entering All-Might mode to punctuate his point.

"Katsuki, keep a close eye on Izuka and be sure to try and keep your temper. Don't blow up your classmates!" Masaru told him, only half joking.

Mitsuki stopped taking photos and ruffled her son's hair; "You may be an annoying brat, but I'm proud of you!" she said in a rare moment of softness. She also kissed Izuka's cheek; "Don't let this idiot boss you about just because he won that bet, and kick his ass if he starts getting cocky!"

Inko hugged Katsuki, "Be good, Katsuki." she told him, before hugging her daughter much more gently, but with a reluctance, like she didn't want Izuka to go. "You make me so proud, my dear. You guys both look really cool; like real heroes."

The two teens grinned, with Izuka getting choked up and even Katsuki feeling a bit teary eyed. "We'll do our best! See you tonight!" Izuka smiled brightly as Katsuki turned to leave before the mushy stuff got to him.

The two walked to U.A in companionable silence, excitement and nerves building with every step. When they arrived, they searched for their classroom, finding it quickly and pausing at the door.

"This is it... we'll be alongside the next generation of Heroes!" Izuka gushed.

"Yeah yeah. Make friends with 'em if you want, but remember that the two of us are gonna be Number One! Don't get distracted!" Katsuki told her. Unlike Izuka, he'd never had a desire for friends, he just wanted strong people to challenge him or in Izuka's case, walk beside him.

They opened the door and were immediately met by the sight of the Glasses Boy; Iida, scolding a blond boy for putting his feet on the desks. The other boy was rubbing the back of his head and apologising with a smirk, but the moment Izuka walked in, Iida's attention honed in on her and he marched over.

"Greetings! I am Tenya Iida, from Soumei Junior High! You are Miss Midoriya, correct?" he asked, punctuating his words with strange robotic chopping motions.

"Um yes! You know my name?" Izuka asked, slightly puzzled. She didn't remember telling him during the Exams...

Iida nodded, "Yes, I learned of it after the exam. I have much to thank you for!" he said, remembering the day he received his acceptance letter.

Tenya was sitting in his room, grasping his letter with a small amount of nerves. Carefully opening it so as to preserve the envelope, he discovered a small Holo-Disk and put it on his desk to activate it. Almost immediately, an image appeared of All-Might wearing a gaudy yellow suit and standing in what looked like a Game show set.
