Dinner

After the quirk apprehension test had finished, Aiden quickly got changed and saw Mina waiting outside for him.

Seeing this made him frown a little.

'Aren't girls meant to take longer when getting changed?' He felt as if his entire life was a lie.

"How'd you get changed so quick?"

"Hihi." She smirked. "I knew you'd leave me behind if I didn't, so I melted my clothes off as soon as I got into the changing room." She said smugly.

Aiden couldn't help but stare at her as he couldn't understand why she was so proud of destroying her training uniform.

"Hey guys! Wait up!" His thoughts were interrupted by someone's yelling.

The two turned around to see a smiling Kendo coming towards them.

"KENDO!!" Mina yelled and pulled the girl into a hug.

'Fuck, more girl talk...'

Not waiting for her to greet him, Aiden turned back around and started walking away.

"Can't get away from me that easily!" Kendo tried to hug him, but similar to what he did to Mina this morning, she found herself grabbing nothing but air.

"Eh? What happened?" She looked confused.

"You get used to it." Mina patted her on the shoulder and dragged her towards the distant Aiden.

---

"Aiden got second place! That's so cool!"

"Of course it is." Mina stuck her chest out proudly. "As my bestfriend its impossible for him to get any less."

"He's your best friend!?" Kendo said somewhat skeptically.

"The one and only. Oh! That reminds me." She turned to Aiden. "Mom invited you over for dinner tonight."

"What she cooking?"

"Pork chops."

Hearing this caused his body to tremble as he couldn't help but imagine the taste.

"See you tomorrow Kendo." Grabbing Mina by the hand, he didn't wait for her to respond and the two disappeared into the distance.

"...."

---

"So how was your first day?"

"It was so cool mom! There was this quirk apprehension test and Aiden totally crushed it!" Mina spoke like she was injected with chicken blood.

"Quirk apprehension test?"

After explaining what happened today, Mrs Ashido was slightly shocked when she heard that the one with the worse score was going to get expelled, but she sighed with relief when she heard that everything turned out fine.

"Well that's a relief. What about the rest of your day?"

"Oh yeah! We met All Might!!"

"Really!?"

"Yeah! And he was so cool! Tomorrow we're having mock battles and we get to wear our hero costumes!"

"That's nice dear." Mrs Ashido smiled.

"What about you Aiden?"

"What about me?" He looked up after swallowing a piece of his pork chop.

"Were you excited about meeting All Might?"

'Not in the slightest.'

"It was okay." He shrugged.

"Ah Aiden, no need to act all tough around me and mom." Mina poked his cheek.

"...."

Instead of reprimanding her like he usually would, he chose to focus on his food and left her as an afterthought.

"Oh yeah mom, we made this friend called Kendo."

"Hmm~ Is she part of class 1a?"

"Nah, she's in class 1b but she's really nice and fun to be around."

As a mother, Mrs Ashido was happy at the fact that her daughter was making new friends and meeting new people. Although she liked Aiden, she had to admit that he was quite the anti-social type unlike her daughter. She just hoped that the two of them would take care of each other at school.

"I'll wash the dishes." Aiden suddenly stood up and took the empty dishes towards the sink.

"Ah! She don't have to do tha-

"Its fine." He cut her off and grabbed the sponge.

"But-

"Its fine really. You cooked, I'll wash up and Mina can dry up."

"Eh!" Mina looked shocked.

"Don't eh me. If I'm working then you're sure as hell definitely working."

"But I don't wanna!"

"And I don't care what you want."

After forcing Mina to do her part, Aiden returned home and went straight to bed. Today was a long day and he found most of it mentally exhausting. Thinking back on the quirk apprehension test, he had to admit that he was impressed by some of their quirks. Although he found it strange how some of them made it into class 1A, he had to admit that the entire class had potential. He even made a mental profile on all of the students and the quirks that he saw them use. Of the entire class only 3 people made him interested in them. The first was the son of the faker Todoroki Shoto. Although he didn't see it, Aiden guessed that he could also use fire as well as ice. His fighting style was ranged combat and had a widespread area of effect. Probably the most dangerous in the class.

The second person to catch his eye was his desk mate Yaoyarozu Momo. With the ability to create anything, Aiden saw much potential in her. If she was ever trained in assassination techniques he had no doubt that she would only be below him in efficiency.

The last person in the class to catch his eye was that loud mouth Bakugo Katsuki. His use of explosions impressed Aiden as he used it to not only improve his speed and mobility, but could also use it to enhance his blows. In a sense, Aiden was jealous of his quirk as his own lacked the same kind of destructive capabilities and relied on his own knowledge of martial arts and assassination.

"*Sigh* A hero costume..." After finding out that he had been accepted into the academy, Aiden had sent in a design of what he wanted his outfit to look like. Now he was only wondering if they followed his design or made changes to it.

'Whatever, its not like what I'll be wearing will matter when I start fighting.'
