7 Chapter 7 - School and Bullies

The next day

After getting ready for school, Akira went downstairs for breakfast. When she sat at the table, Katsuki was already eating.

"Eat quickly, extra. If you're late, I'm not going to wait for you." He said.

Akira rolled her eyes, "I don't care if you wait or not. I can find my way to school."

"Tsk."

In less than five minutes, Katsuki finished eating breakfast. But, he waited for Akira ,much to Akira's surprise. Then, again, Bakugo Mitsuki was at the table so it wasn't like Katsuki had a choice. If he didn't wait for her, she would probably smacked his head again.

Anyway, after five more minutes, they left for school.

As soon as they were in front of the school gate, Katsuki left her even though they were in the same class.

"Don't act like you know me, extra." He said.

"Fine, it's not like I care." Akira shrugged.

Finding a class wasn't that difficult, at all. But, walking into a hallway of a high school brings back memories. Akira found herself somewhat nostalgic of her past. But, soon enough, she shook off her own thoughts to find the classroom. She opened the door without hestitation and then, entered.

The teacher was already there and he looked at her in annoyance as soon as she stepped into the room. He must be the homeroom teacher that discriminates quirkless students. Akira deduced.

"You're the one who transferred from Osaka?" The teacher asked.

"Yes." Akira nodded.

"Introduce yourself quickly then. We don't want to waste our time more."

Akira sent a cold stare to the teacher while smiling innocently at the same time, making the teacher feel uncomfortable. To outsiders , it only looked like she was smiling but the teacher was the only one who noticed the cold stare.

"Hello, My name is Sasaki Akira. I came from Osaka." Akira introduced herself.

"What's your quirk?" One of the students asked.

"Yeah, you have to tell us your quirk too!" Another student said.

"I don't have a quirk." Akira replied nonchalantly and she noticed the looks the students were giving her changed into mockery. Her lips curled up a little at that. Then, she looked at every student's faces with the same look they were giving her. It was when she noticed a certain greenhead.

'Midoriya Izuku'

"You can go sit there." The teacher pointed to the desk beside Midoriya before starting the lesson. Akira walked to the desk, put her backpack down and sat.

"Hey, we meet again." She said to Midoriya.

"Uh...yeah." Midoriya fidgeted a bit.

"Honestly , I thought I was going to be all alone when I knew I was coming to this school but since we're in the same class, I feel like I can at least get a friend," Akira said with a chuckle.

"A friend? Me?" Midoriya asked, almost too loud. When the teacher heard him, he looked at the two and said angrily, "Don't you know to pay attention during class?!"

Akira replied as if she did nothing wrong, "I was just asking him the page number because sensei didn't bother to tell me or wait until I go to my desk before teaching."

The teacher's mouth twitched in anger but he didn't say anything else to her.

The class continued after that and it was boring. Akira was struggling to keep her eyes open during the lesson.

After morning classes, the lunch break finally came.

"Hey, Midoriya, wanna go have lunch together?" Akira asked.

"Are you sure?" Midoriya replied with a question. "They..picked on me a lot..so you might get picked on if you go with me." He added.

"It's fine. Let's go." Akira wasn't scared of the school bullies.

"Okay!" Midoriya was surprised that someone wanted to hang out with him even after knowing he was quirkless and a target of bullies. He agreed readily and was about to get up when the bullies group came.

They stood in front of Midoriya's desk, towering over him with their height.

"Hey Deku, where do you think you're going!?"

It was Katsuki who asked and Akira sent a glare to him.

"And what do you think you are to bully Midoriya?"

Akira snapped back to him.

The group turned to face Akira angrily and Akira laughed. "Ah..I should've expected that your lackeys would get angry for you. Do they bite in your stead too, Katsuki?"

"Watch your mouth, you damn quirkless extra!" Katsuki yelled at her while making small explosions in his hands.

"Let's go, Midoriya. Ignore them." Akira got up from her desk as if nothing was happening.

"But..."

"It's fine.." Akira reassured before turning to Katsuki. "Hey, tell your lackeys to back off, will you? I bet you don't want your mom to know what you said to Midoriya."

A few seconds...

It took a few seconds for Katsuki to realize what Akira was referring to and when he did, he nearly charged towards her with explosions.

"How did you know!? It's not even your business !"

Akira chuckled and said, "Leave Midoriya alone. Or you're done for."

Katsuki was so angry that he wanted nothing more than to beat her up but he knew he couldn't do that. He had to swallow his anger and told his lackeys to back off.

"Thank you." Akira said with a smile.

Seeing her smile, the lackeys thought, 'Such a two-faced person. Just seeing that smile gives me chills.'

-----------------------

"Oh right, I'm going to register a Karate class after school." Akira said to Midoriya while they had lunch together.

"Karate class?"

"Yeah, I think it's better for me if I know self-defence so I'm going to learn Karate. What about you? You said you wanted to be a hero, right?"

"Yeah.." Midoriya replied, "I thought about what you said after I went home and I think you might be right. So, I'm also going to learn how to fight and practice making strategies because you know..I just realized I've been analyzing heroes and quirks all my life. I could improve that and who knows? Maybe I'll be good at that."

Akira could hear some hestitation at the last part but she could tell Midoriya now was getting better.

"I'm sure you'll be good at that." She said, "Oh, and why don't you come with me to Karate class? You said you also wanted to learn how to fight."

"Is it expensive?" He asked.

"There're different prices from 11,000 yen to 16,500 yen. You can choose the one suitable for you." She explained to him.

"In that case, I wanna check that out."

"Great!"

Akira smiled.
