Meeting New People

They stood in front of their classroom door; it was nearly fifty feet tall, maybe even bigger than that. The door also had a big window to see the class and a big '1-A' on it.

Mika placed her hand on her chin, "If I were to guess, the reason the door is this big is that there might be students who can't fit through a regular door." she said; Koji nodded in agreement.

As Mika turned to Koji, she noticed he was shaking, "You scared that you have to introduce yourself?" she asked. Koji looked down and nodded, "It's alright." Mika said, making him look at her, "If you don't feel like talking to the others, then I can do your introduction for you."

Koji sighed in relief, "Th-Thank you, Lyoko." he said. Mika smiled a bit and opened their classroom door. They saw a few classmates having their own conversations. The room went silent when they saw them at the door.

A tall boy with blue hair and glasses speed-walked towards them, "Welcome, classmates!" he shouted, "My name is Tenya Iida from the Somei Private Academy!"

Tenya held his hand out to them, "It's a pleasure to meet you two!" he shouted. Koji flinched a bit, but Mika smiled and shook Tenya's hand, "It's nice to meet you, Iida." she said, "My name is Mika Lyoko."

Mika turned to Koji, "The big guy behind me is Koji Koda." she continued, "Don't mind him if he's quiet; he's shy." Koji nodded to confirm Mika's statement, "I see." Tenya said.

Tenya looked at Koji and bowed, "Please forgive me for my rudeness!" he continued. Koji tried to calm Tenya down, but Mika giggled a bit, "No need for that; we're classmates, so we'll be fine." she said.

Tenya looked at Mika, "Thank you." he said; she smiled and took the very back seat in the second row. Koji followed Mika and took the seat in front of her; she looked at her other classmates.

Mika saw a boy with half of his hair red and the other half white. Mika saw another classmate with pink skin, pink hair, and horns coming out of her head.

One classmate that caught Mika's attention sat next to Koji; his body is normal but has a raven's head and a red choker around his neck.

Mika was interested, "You know it's rude to stare at someone." he said as he looked at her with his red eyes. Mika flinched, "O-Oh! Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude." she said.

The boy with the raven head closed his eyes, "It's all right." he said, "I can tell that you were curious." He looked at Mika and held his hand out, "My name is Fumikage Tokoyami." he said, "It's a pleasure to see two more classmates."

Mika smiled and shook Fumikage's hand, "It's nice to meet you too, Tokoyami." she said, "My name is Mika Lyoko." Mika looked at Koji, "His name is Koji Koda." she continued, "I hope you don't mind Koda's quietness; he's shy."

Fumikage looked at Koji, "I see..." he said; he turned to Mika, "Do you and Koda know each other?" he asked. Mika rubbed the back of her neck, "More or less." she said, "We first met at the entrance exam and fought in the same battle center, but that's about it."

Fumikage nodded, "That makes sense." he said. Mika smiled, "Well... hopefully, we can make other friends with our classmates." she said; Fumikage nodded and looked forward.

After a few classmates came into the classroom, one classmate noticed Mika, "Hey! You're the girl that helped me in the entrance exam!" she looked at the entrance and saw Rikido with a smile. Mika smiled a bit, "Oh yeah, it's good to see you." she said, "It's Sato, right?"

Rikido nodded and took the seat behind Fumikage, "That's right! I'm glad to see you too, Lyoko." he said. Fumikage looked at Mika, "Do you know this noisy person?" he asked. Mika rubbed the back of her neck, "Sort of..." she said, "I helped him a little during the entrance exam."

Rikido looked at Mika, "A little? You helped me a lot." he said, "If you weren't there when that robot was behind me, I would have been knocked out."

Mika blushed a bit and smiled, "Ah crap, I forgot to do my introduction." Rikido said. Rikido turned to them and held his hand out, "My name is Rikido Sato." he continued.

Fumikage introduced himself to Rikido; he held his hand out to Koji, making him flinch a bit. Koji shook Rikido's hand but didn't give him an introduction.

Rikido was confused until Mika chimed in, "Don't mind him." she said, "His name is Koji Koda; he's timid." Rikido nodded, "Oh, I see." he said; he turned to Koji, "Sorry if I was too rash about introductions." he continued.

Koji shook his head and forgave Rikido. Mika heard the door open and turned towards it; she saw a classmate with ash blond, spiky hair, and his uniform looked like it was sagging. He took one of the front desks and kicked his feet on it.

It did not get ignored when Tenya told him to get his feet off. "That's Katsuki Bakugo." Mika turned to Rikido, "I heard that he got first place in the entrance exam." Mika nodded and looked forward.

Fumikage noticed Mika glancing at the door from time to time, "Are you waiting on someone else?" he asked. Mika turned to Fumikage, "Sort of... I'm wondering if Midoriya got in." she said.

Fumikage was curious, "Midoriya? You mean Izuku Midoriya?" he asked; Mika nodded, "Do you know him?" she asked. Fumikage shook his head, "I wouldn't worry about him, though." he said.

Mika was confused, "And why is that?" she asked; almost like clockwork, the door opened. Mika turned towards the door and saw Izuku at the front door in a U.A. uniform.

Fumikage looked at Mika, "Midoriya was in the top ten of the entrance exam with sixty rescue points." he said. Mika turned to Fumikage, shocked, "Really! How did he get that many rescue points?" she said.

Mika was about to talk to Izuku, but everything went quiet when they heard a voice, "If you're here to make friends, then get out." she looked at the ground and saw a man in a yellow sleeping bag.

Mika quickly sat back down as the man stood up and got out of his sleeping bag. He held it and walked towards the podium, "It took you eight seconds to shut up; time is precious." he said. He looked at them, "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa." he continued; they were surprised.

Mr. Aizawa pulled a gym uniform out of his sleeping bag and held it out, "This may be sudden, but I need all of you to change into these uniforms and head outside." he said. Mr. Aizawa walked towards the door, "If you're late, there will be consequences." he continued as he left.

Mika remembered something, *That's the Aizawa guy Recovery Girl mentioned in the nurse's office.* she thought, *I wonder how he disabled my Quirk.* They stood up, *Hopefully, he has a caring side.* Mika thought as she left the classroom.

(Time Skip)

Mika stood in the changing room with the other girls; she looked at her gym uniform in her hands. The uniform's base color for both the jacket and pants was blue with white stripes on the front and white stripes on the sleeves, and bits of red.

The white stripes on the front of the jacket said 'UA' vertically. The back of the jacket was mostly blue with a white stripe on the collar. The pants were mostly blue but had white stripes on the front that go from the waist to the ankles.

Mika smiled a bit, *It's a good thing I brought a tank top from home.* she thought. Mika changed into her gym uniform and slipped on her gym shoes.

After Mika closed her locker, she saw some girls talking. Mika had her hand on her chin, *Now that I think about it, I've only befriended a few guys.* she thought, *How should I start a conversation with girls? Do I talk to them first or wait until someone talks to me?*

Mika flinched when she felt someone touch her shoulder, "Hey, are you alright?" she turned her head and saw a girl with part of her long green hair in a bow; she nodded, "I-I'm fine." she said.

Mika calmed down and rubbed the back of her neck, "Sorry, I usually get in deep thought sometimes." she continued.

The girl with green hair shook her head, "It's alright, some people do that, ribbit." she said. She held her hand out, "I'm Tsuyu Asui, but please call me Tsu." she continued.

Mika smiled and shook Tsuyu's hand, "It's nice to meet you, Tsu; my name is Mika Lyoko." she said, "I hope that we can get along." Tsuyu looked at Mika, "You look... familiar." she said as she placed her finger on her chin; she was confused, "How so?" she asked.

Tsuyu remembered something, "Oh yeah, you're the girl who held a zero-point robot's foot when rescuing someone, and if I recall, that guy sitting in front of you was there too." she said. They stared at Mika, making her nervous.

Mika looked at Tsuyu, "H-How do you know that?" she asked. Tsuyu smiled a bit, "The person you helped out of the rubble was a friend of mine." she said, "She didn't make it into U.A., but she wanted me to thank the people who rescued her if I see them."

Mika nodded, "Well... whenever you see your friend, tell her it was no problem." she said. Tsuyu smiled and nodded, "Will do, ribbit." she said.

The girl with pink skin, Mina Ashido, got close to Mika, "Is it true, Lyoko!" she shouted, "Did you really hold a zero-point robot's foot to help someone!"

Mika fiddled with her thumbs and nodded, "I-It's true, I held a zero-point robot's foot to help someone." she said; they were shocked and impressed.

A girl with plug-like earlobes, Kyoka Jiro, looked at Mika, "I gotta admit, what you did at the entrance exam sounds pretty badass." she said. Mika blushed a bit, "You really think so?" she asked.

The girl with a black, spiky ponytail, Momo Yaoyorozu, nodded, "What you did sounds amazing, even though it was reckless." she said, "I'm impressed that you had the capabilities to hold something that large."

Mika scratched the back of her head, "Well... you know what they say, 'Never judge a book by its cover.'." she said; they giggled a bit and left the changing room.

As they were walking in the hallway, the girl with short auburn hair, Ochaco Uraraka, smiled, "I'm glad you got into U.A. too." she said.

Mika nodded, and Ochaco thought of something, "Hey! I was thinking about doing a group chat for Class 1-A." she said, "Do you want to be part of it?"

Mika nodded as she got a sharpie out of her pocket, "Sure, let me just write my phone number, and you can send me the invite." she said.

Mika was about to write on her hand, but Momo stopped her, "Oh no, allow me." she said as she pulled a piece of paper out of her arm. They were shocked, "Is that your Quirk, Yaoyorozu?" Mika asked.

Momo nodded as she held the paper to Mika, "My Quirk is called Creation." she said, "It allows me to create anything inorganic with the lipids in my body as long as I know the molecular structure."

Mika took the paper out of Momo's hands, wrote her cell phone number on it, and handed it to Ochaco, "That's cool, Yaoyorozu." Mina said, smiling; the others nodded in agreement.

Mika placed her hand on her chin, *I wonder what kind of Quirk Midoriya has for him to get in this school.* she thought. Tsuyu looked at Mika, "Is there something on your mind?" she asked.

Mika nodded, "Well, I'm curious about something... about one of our classmates making it in this school." she said; Ochaco turned to her, "Really? Who?" she asked.

Mika scratched the back of her head, "Well... it's about Midoriya." she said, "One of our classmates said he got in with sixty rescue points." she said.

Tsuyu had her finger on her chin, "Really? I didn't know that." she said. Mika nodded, "Me neither, so I was wondering what he did to get that many rescue points." she said.

"Oh! I can answer that." they turned to Ochaco, "He rescued me; when I was in the rubble, Midoriya jumped towards the zero-point robot and punched it."

They were completely shocked; Mika shook her head, "Midoriya punched a zero-point robot!" she shouted, "You mean the similar robot that I held its foot to help someone, that robot!"

Ochaco nodded and made a punching motion in the air, "When Midoriya got close to the robot's face..." she said.

Ochaco punched her palm, "Bam! Broke the robot into pieces." she continued. Mika was in disbelief and nodded, "That's incredible; I never knew Midoriya had a powerful Quirk." she said.

Ochaco nodded, "I know! But, that means the other classmates have to do just as good or even better than they expect us to be." she said with enthusiasm; they nodded as they got to the door.

(Time Skip)

Mika stood with her classmates; Mr. Aizawa checked if all of them were there. Mr. Aizawa nodded, "Looks like everyone is here." he said, "Now then, the reason we're all out here is that we'll be doing a Quirk Apprehension test."

They were completely shocked; Ochaco looked at Mr. Aizawa, "But sir, what about orientation?" she asked. Mr. Aizawa looked away from them, "There's no time to waste for stuff like that if you want to become heroes." he said.

Some of them were worried, "There will be eight tests: the 50-meter dash, grip strength, the standing long jump, sidestepping, softball throwing, upper body training, seated toe touch, and endurance running." Mr. Aizawa continued.

Mr. Aizawa looked at them, "In junior high, you weren't allowed to use your Quirks." he said, "Well, in this apprehension test, you'll be tested with the use of your Quirks."

Mr. Aizawa tossed a ball to Katsuki, making him catch it, "Bakugo, you were first at the entrance exam." he continued, "How far could you throw a ball in middle school?"

Katsuki walked towards the center of the circle, "Sixty-seven meters, I believe." he said as he got in the circle. Mr. Aizawa nodded, "Alright, try throwing the ball with your Quirk." he said, "I don't care how you throw it as long as you stay in the circle."

Katsuki nodded as he stretched his arms. Soon after, Katsuki had a big grin, "Die!" he shouted as he threw the ball. They saw Katsuki create an explosion in his hand, making the ball go farther.

Mr. Aizawa looked at the screen on a device as the ball landed on the ground, "It's important to know your limits." he said. Mr. Aizawa showed them a device with 705.2 on it, "This'll help you determine what kind of heroes you'll be." he continued.

They were shocked, "That's really cool." one of them said; Mina smiled, "I wanna go, this looks fun!" she said. Mika placed her hand on her chin, *It sounds simple enough.* she thought, *However, I have a feeling that there's some catch or tactic to scare us and make us do well.*

Mika looked at Mr. Aizawa, "You have three years in this high school, and you think it's all fun and games, huh?" he said. Mr. Aizawa grinned, "Well, how about this? The student with the lowest score after all eight events... will be expelled." he continued; they were completely shocked.

When Mika looked at Izuku, he was trembling in fear, *I had a feeling something like that would be the case.* she thought, *But I'll use it as a drive of motivation to get a good ranking.*

Mika looked at Mr. Aizawa as he pulled his hair back a bit, "Your fates are in our hands." he said with a devious grin, "This is the hero course of U.A. High."
