6 New Friends in High Places

The next few tests were a bit of a hassle since the ball throwing test and needless to say it had been hard. It was not only from the potential fight that could've started but because the last test had been harder especially since Floyd had weights tied to his ankles during the last test which had been the long distance run. The students all caught their breath as most of them had collapsed onto the ground to regain their bearings.

"I've gotta know, Floyd-kun…" Reina said, "... Where the hell has your sister been keeping those weights?"

"More importantly, what are they made of?" Izuku asked as he took deep breaths.

Floyd responded as he groaned, "Handmade fresh from Corona, Queens, New York. To think she was training us to be Kazam Masters or something. Next thing you know you'll find to spiritual advisors joining your party."

"Alright students!" Lena yelled, "Gather round, it's time to see the results of the eight tests!"

All the students gathered around a certain area on the field as they were eager to get the results of all the tests that they had done; though Izuku had been the most nervous out of all of them.

"Okay, the results you see are in total how you all did on the tests we've provided." Shota told them, "It's a waste of time to explain verbally so, I'll show you all at once."

With a press of a button on Shota's phone, the results appeared in the form of a hologram. Reina looked to see where her name was and was actually surprised when she saw that her name had been in the top four as well as Floyd, whose name was just underneath Katsukis. Reina soon found Izuku's name in last place though she knew that it had been too good to be true as she looked over in Shota's direction as she couldn't help but wonder about something.

Any thought she had in her head was confirmed when she heard Shota say--

"By the way, we were lying about the expulsion." He said as the students were put into shock; He soon added with a smile, "It was a rational deception to draw out the limits of your Quirks!"

"EEEEEEHHHHHHHH!?" Most of the students yelled except for a few.

"I KNEW IT, IT WAS A LIE!" Reina yelled as she fell to the ground face first.

"Of course it was." A girl with a black ponytail named Momo said, "It should've been obvious if you really thought about it."

"None of us noticed!" Some of the students yelled.

"With that we're all done here." Shota said before he started to walk away.

"Yup we're calling a day kiddies!" Lena yelled as she followed Shota, "Hope to see you all next time when we put more hell into your assignments!"

"YOU ARE EVIL, LENA!" Floyd yelled at his sister.

It hadn't been long before the school day came to an end. Reina and two of her friends were seen walking out of school. Izuku had a bandage around his finger as he was slouched over.

"God… I feel tired…" Izuku said.

"Well that's what Recovery Girls Quirk will do to ya." Reina said.

"I hate the fact that she has to literally kiss you to make you better though." Floyd said as he shuddered a little.

"It's not that bad ya know." She told him.

"Well excuse me! I want my first kiss to be special!" Floyd said.

***

Before Reina could ask what he meant by that, they felt the presence of someone behind; the only way they had noticed was when Izuku felt a tap on the shoulder. They looked and it was revealed to be their classmate Tenya.

"Oh! Iida-kun!" Izuku exclaimed a little.

"What are you doing here?" Reina asked curiously.

"I came to check on your friend." Tenya replied before turning his attention to Izuku, "How's your finger?"

"Oh, yeah, it's healed up, thanks to Recovery Girl." Izuku replied, showing his bandage finger to Tenya.

"That's good. At the very least it's not causing you pain." Tenya said, relieved.

"Well since you're here, you wanna walk home with us?" Floyd asked, "We could get to know each other better."

"I don't see why not." He replied as he fixed up his glasses. "Welp, the more the merrier." Reina said with a shrug as she and the group started to walk. Tenya had soon asked Reina, "Is Aizawa-sensei really your caretaker?"

"Yup, he has been since I was six." Reina replied, "Hard to believe I know."

"It is." Tenya said, "I was really taken back by what he did. I even thought 'This is the best of the best' and such. But I didn't think he would encourage us to lie like that."

"You haven't seen him at his worst."

"He has a worst side?"

"Trust me, he does."

Izuku chuckled to himself before he whispered to Floyd, "You know, I thought Iida-kun was just scary but he's just earnest."

"You know what they say, don't judge a book by it's cover." Floyd said with a smile.

"Nouki-chan!"

Reina turned over and saw Chouko waving over to them; She walked alongside a teen who appeared to have a bird's head in the shade of black, and his eyes were of red; They both approached the four of them.

"Thank goodness, we managed to catch up with you." Chouko said with a smile.

"Hello, Shoichi-san." Reina said with a smile of her own.

"That's the girl Reina-chan met in the exams." Izuku said.

"Her wings look so cool…" Floyd commented.

"Do you mind if we join you?" Chouko asked, "I'd like to know more about you and your friends since we're all going to be in the same class together."

"Sure but…" Reina said before looking at the teen next to her, "... Sorry I don't think we've met."

"Oh right." The girl with wings said, "Nouki-chan, this is my cousin that I mentioned."

The teen bowed as he had said to the group, "My name is Fumikage Tokoyami. It's a pleasure."

"Likewise." Reina said as she bowed.

"It's very nice to you too." Izuku said.

"Hope to get along with ya!" Floyd added before he saluted.

"I hope the same thing." Tenya said.

The young teen Fumikage looked only to Reina before saying, "Chouko told me what you did for her during the Entrance Exams."

Reina looked at him surprised, "Uh… She did?"

Fumikage only nodded before saying, "Your Quirk is really extraordinary, but what you did I'm sure must've been risky for you, and I condemn you for putting others' safety before your own. If it hadn't been for you Chouko wouldn't be standing here right now." It hadn't been long before he bowed again, "Thank you for saving her."

Reina turned red at this before she bowed again while stammering, "It--It was nothing really."

"I WOULDN'T SAY NOTHING!"

Everyone jumped out of mere shock and surprise when Gio appeared quite literally out of nowhere. Floyd yelled Gio angrily, "COULD YOU NOT JUMP OUT LIKE THAT!?"

Gio ignored him before saying to Reina, "What you did in the entrance exams was amazing! And I never would've taken out that robot if it hadn't been for you!"

Floyd continued to yell at Gio, "OI ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!"

"Oh hey Floyd." Gio said, finally noticing him.

"You just noticed him now?" Reina asked as she felt a sweat drop from the side of her head.

"DO YOU WANT TO DIE?!" Floyd shouted as he took out his quirk like Wolverine.

"Floyd-san don't!" Izuku exclaimed, "You'll get in trouble!"

"Aihara-kun! Not on the first day please!" Tenya yelled as he moved his hands.

"Is he always like this?" Fumikage asked Reina.

"Yeah, pretty much." She replied.

Chouko chuckled a little before saying, "This is going to be an interesting year."

"Hey you guys!"

They looked over in the direction where they heard one more voice. They saw that it was Ochaco Uraraka running towards them with a smile on her face. "Are you all going to the station? Wait for me!"

"Uraraka-san!?" Izuku exclaimed as his face turned red.

"The infinity girl!?" The rest of the group exclaimed.

She stopped in her tracks before she said still with her smile, "It's Ochaco Uraraka actually." She looked down the line of the group, "Let's see, if I'm right, you're Tenya Iida, Fumikage Tokiyama, Chouko Shoichi, Gioco Terebi…"

"CALL ME BY NUMBER GIO!" Gio suddenly yelled with his face all red.

"THE NUMBERS AGAIN!?" Reina and Izuku yelled.

"WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND NUMBERS!?" Floyd exclaimed. "ARE YOU CALCULATOR OR SOMETHING?!"

"Oh sure, whatever you say." Ochaco said awkwardly before she continued, "Now let's see, you're Reina Nouki, Floyd Aihara, and if I'm not mistaken… You're Deku Midoriya right?" Reina, Floyd and Izuku looked at each other a bit taken back when Uraraka called him that. They looked back to Izuku before saying, "I'm sorry… Deku?" Izuku asked.

"Isn't that your name?" Ochaco asked, "I mean that other guy, Bakugou-kun called you Deku right?"

"Ah, there's a misunderstanding about their Uraraka-san." Reina said before she started to explain, "You see Izuku-kun and Bakugou-kun have known each other for a while, and Bakugou-kun has the habit of calling him Deku since well, it means useless. No offense buddy."

"Wait, so than it's an insult?" Chouko asked.

"Unfortunately so." Floyd said.

"That's not very sportsmanlike." Iida commented.

"Indeed." Fumikage added.

"Oh gosh, I'm sorry I didn't know." Ochaco said, "But if you really think about it, Deku means 'You can do it!', so I kinda like it."

"I'M DEKU NOW!" Izuku suddenly exclaimed with his face all red, surprising pretty much everyone.

"JUST LIKE THAT!?" Reina, Floyd, Gio, and Fumikage shouted.

"Are you sure that's alright?!" Chouko exclaimed.

"I thought Nouki-kun said it had been an insult!?" Iida yelled.

Izuku replied as he put his face in his hands "It feels like a copernican revolution!"

"What?" Reina asked.

"Cope?" Ochaco and Chouko added.

Floyd slapped himself in the face before saying, "Oi vey, Don't mind him. Dude's more nervous than my lil bro at 12 years of age."

"We should go now." Fumikage said, "We'll be late for the train otherwise."

"You're right." Reina said looking at her watch, before hatching an idea, "Hey, how about instead of going straight home, we can all go to the new arcade that opened up?"

"That sounds like fun!" Chouko said.

Gio said, "You're gonna see my skills in gaming!"

Floyd said with an excited smile, "Oh I wanna see!"

"That does sound like a good idea." Tenya said.

"Yeah that sounds awesome!" Ochaco said.

"Sure we can do that." Izuku said.

It hadn't been long before they heard someone very familiar shout from a distance, specifically to Floyd, "Hey Shrimp!"They all turned in the direction of the voice, with Floyd starting to sweat. They saw Lena approaching them with a demonic look on her face. "Hey there little bro! You remember that other punishment we talked about?"

Floyd quickly said to the group, "Oh yeah. Sorry guys, I forgot I had to deal with this.."

"Does she have that lasso again?" Reina asked.

He nodded his head before he had been caught in the lasso again. "I'll see you guys in the afterlife."

"THAT'S A BIT MORBID DON'T YOU THINK?!" Tenya shouted.

Reina simply placed her hand on Tenya's shoulder before saying, "Don't question it Iida-san, this happens a lot in his family."

"SEE YOU KIDS TOMORROW!" Lena said with a smile before dragging her brother off to who knows where. "I'LL SEE YOU GUYS TOMORROW IF I LIVE!" Floyd yelled as he waved what looked to be a white flag.

"See you Floyd-san!" Izuku said as he waved.

"Try not to die!" Reina said.

"American siblings are surely scary.." Fumikage said.

Gio looked confused as he asked Reina, "Ummm, he's gonna be okay right?"

"Oh yeah, you'll see him tomorrow." Reina replied before saying to the group, "Now let's head over to the arcade!"
