31 The one that doesn't shut up***

I arrived at the class before Mina and Eijiro. They stopped to talk to Izuku and Ochaco. Jess split off from me a while back so I arrived at class alone. At least I thought I did. I received a tap on my shoulder. A girl with red eyes and white hair. She almost looked like she had albinism. As even her skin was pale.

I was about to say hello when she spoke. "Howdy! Is this Class 1-A. My name is Erin Conners! I wasn't here for the first day and I hear the second day is something I just couldn't miss! The first day was a quirk apprehension test right? Glad, i wasn' there! I'm basically quirkless! You seem somewhat responsible and from 1-A as well. Can you tell me about my fellow classmates!"

What? I feel like I just had someone vomit words at me. I processed everything she said. Besides her weird choice of phrasing it seemed normal enough. She was no doubt the person who was missing, which meant me and her woul-

"Are you okay? You seem distracted. Is it because I'm cute?" She made a point of blushing. I frowned though since she literally cut off my inner monologue.

"I'm sure you can get along with them yourself." I stepped into the class and saw everyone was mostly quiet. I moved to my desk and sat down. The Erin girl followed me in and seemed to analyze those in the class.

She stopped when she saw Momo. "Oh, WOW! You are Momo Yaoyorozu right? I heard about you and your quirk. What can you make with it? Can you create a nuke? Oh, how about creating the chemical substances created by other quirks. Have you tried creating entire support items? Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I was absent yesterday, my name is Erin Conners."

Momo paused, "Oh, uh glad to meet you. You are a recommendation student right?"

The new girl nodded. "Indeed I am! I was accepted due to my multiplied submitted support item systems. As well as martial ability. I've been studying combat techniques since I was a kid. I've mastered about 11, practiced 19 routinely and have learned the basics of at least 44."

That raised an eyebrow of the surrounding classmates. Well, they already were paying attention to her. However, that line got a response, it was even more shocking to see it was Mezo. "You said your name is Erin Conners? Erin Conners who won the Golden Body Martial Arts trophy?"

She gasped, "You heard of that!"

Momo and I both asked, "What is the Golden Body Martial Arts trophy?"

Mezo elaborated before the talkative girl got a chance. "It's a competition of martial arts around the world. It takes place every 4 years and the most recent was just last year. It was held in Sydney, Australia. I thought about participating, but they disallow the use of most quirks. Hence the name Golden Body."

That has got to be the most words this man has ever used. I guess he was passionate. Erin was nodding, "Yeah! The only quirks really allowed are certain mutation quirks. Like this kid with a tail fought me in the competition! He said he wanted to be a hero, but it seems he didn't pass the entrance exam. Nonetheless I'm sure he will try again next year, either that or he is in general studies. I have no clue! I didn't check."

Izuku and a few others walked into the classroom. However they were not spared the onslaught of the new girl. She was out of her seat and shaking Mina's hand in seconds. "WOW! Nice to meet you. You have a very lovely shade of pink skin. It makes me wonder what the rest of your body looks like! I have Albinism from my quirk so I can understand the plight of a sunburn. Want my secrets to good sunscreen?"

Did that girl really say what the rest of Mina's body looked like? Mina took it in stride though, "O-M-G! You are the first person to mention that. I would love to know, as it's so hard to tell if I'm cooking or just missed a spot of sunscreen."

Erin nodded, "For sure! I absolutely love tal-Mhmgh!"

Mr.Aizawa's scarf wrapped around Erin's mouth. "That's enough Ms. Conners. I don't need you talking the ears off of the other students."

She tried to speak, but… "Mrmgrgh." Realizing she couldn't speak, she nodded and gave a thumbs up.

With that Mr.Aizawa released her and she went back to sitting directly next to me. Seems as if my ears may start bleeding. I Thought for a second and leaned over to Momo as Mr. Aizawa explained what we were doing today. "Can you actually recreate a chemical by a quirk?"

Momo shrugged, clearly she never tried. It was whatever, it would have been sick if she could. The possibilities would be endless. If that avenue was possible she could really help in studying certain quirks and how they manifest.

Mr.Aizawa spoke, "It seems some of you aren't paying attention. I didn't want to use this, but as you know All Might is a teacher here now. He will be the one guiding you. Though due to some scheduling conflicts, this will be delayed for tomorrow sucks to be you guys. Should have paid attention."

That didn't really sound like our fault. I raised a hand and spoke anyway. "Is the scheduling problem because All Might is still doing hero work unlike some of the other teachers?"

Mr. Aizawa smirked, "Or maybe he just doesn't like you guys. Nah, I'm just messing with you. Yeah, he had some extra work to do."

The bell rang signaling a class change. "Now, leave so I can get some sleep."

He zipped up his sleeping bag. I shrugged, and rotated to the next class.
