[IC] My hero Acadamia: the story of class 101

[Azure Flame]

Lucas took his seat as well, ignoring Meruem.

The day went on smoothly, the class learning their core academic skills in a rather homely room. The teacher was kind and soft on them, open to the crucial help they may need, the classroom was well acquainted and seemed to get along decently well. Class went on for a rather long time, however, feeling boring and by the end, the average person would be glad to get to stretch their legs. As the students made their way home, the group chat began to spark up. It was the speed boy, sending pictures of himself and a couple of other friends: A young girl with purple tentacles for hair and a pair of eyes like a squid, a young man with the body of a lizard, and a normal, yet meek and tiny looking male all hanging out. He would explain they were giving him a proper good-bye celebration, this group being the ones that helped him train: The lizard being his sparring partner, the girl being his study buddy and a good moral support, and the young tiny one being a quirkless nerd who happened to know the ins-and-outs of the hero academy's rules. They went from various places: Hooka bars, fancy restaurants, arcades, but one thing was always a bit cryptic about it all. There was a person always in the back, always just out of the corner of the picture, too blurry to make out any real detail other than that they were in a green hoodie. At first, he would shake it off, then explain it was probably just another friend of his 'goofing' him. This was cut off from the next two hours until 3 in the morning. He sent a picture of a warehouse, one-half ruined. On the floor was the body of the quirkless from earlier, his leg missing, leaving only a bloodied stub hidden under red-stained pants. He was clearly unconscious and had been crying based on how his eyes looked. The tentacle girl was seen just out of the corner of the photo, tied up. This was the final cut off, the last thing he would send.

The day in class the energy was far different. The obvious fact that Baxter Crash was gone made things seem eerie, this wasn't just some goofy, well-played joke he was doing, or if it was he was going too far. Things were only made odder by the replacement of him. In his seat sat a young woman, her back arched and her arms folded so that she could more comfortably sleep on the table. Her suit jacket was put on the back of her seat, her snoring subtle but apparent. He was new, that was obvious, none of them had seen her before. There she sat, sleeping like an ogre in the seat of a student-no-more.

Haley sat in her chair ideally scratching at her desk. She was super freaked out by the pictures, then the replacement being there unsettled her even more. I wonder what happened to that kid... I... God... Haley's face was covered in her fear, she couldn't hide it despite her best efforts. She hoped that the teachers would have some information on the missing kid, she couldn't take her mind away from it all night. She looked around the room briefly to see if anyone else looked to be in a similar state.

[Azure Flame]

Lucas, who hadn't given his number to anyone, thought it was a bit odd when he walked into the room and saw Haley freaked out, and some girl in the engine boy's seat. He walked up to her and asked "What's wrong? And who is this girl?"

[OrizaSaucer]

A few streets away from UA, a beaten up but still functional convertible parks itself narrowly inbetween two cars, and its driver runs a hand through her literally flaming hair, easily seen from afar due to the wind billowing it around, though the flames themselves don't go out for some odd reason. She sighs, mutters something incomprehensible, and exits. Walking over to the rear of the car, she opens the trunk and removes her surprisingly heavy bag, almost filled to the brim with notebooks and different coloured pens, pencils, and even brushes. After making sure the car is locked, she starts the long trek to UA. She isn't too happy about the press, so she does her best to dodge them, which is a little bit easier due to her flaming hair, cause nobody wants first-degree burns. She says nothing, instead keeping her eyes to the ground and slips on a pair of semi-fire-resistant sunglasses. Her posture is a bit conceited, and isn't the most confident, but soon enough straightens itself as she gradually begins hyping herself up with words of confidence.
You can do this Karen. They're just kids, you've dealt with much worse. Just go in and introduce yourself, but make sure they know you're in it to win it. You can do this!.
By the time she gets close to the class, she has a long smile across her face, and is pretty confident. She opens the door with what can only be described as swagger, and opens her mouth to introduce herself. Her mouth remains open as she looks around the room, almost standing mid-stride, with her hair still on fire, causing odd shadows to be cast of herself and the surrounding area around her. She continues openly staring, almost gawking at the normalness of the students. She was expecting badasses, and instead, she gets a class of seemingly normal looking kids. She notices that time didn't stop, so she closes her mouth and clears her throat, trying to forget about how insane she must look to the other normal looking kids.
"Umm... Sup- Er, I mean, greetings... People... Classmates..." Whatever she was saying to hype herself up has completely flown out of the nearest window, and she's left standing at the doorway, awkwardly and on fire.

The burst of a flaming woman into the room caused the sleeping lady to let out an abrupt snort, stirring her from her rest as she slowly moved up, letting out a loud yawn, stretching backwards and then to the sides. When she noticed the others, she gave then a dopey smile, waving and signaling the flame lady to come and sit next to her. She seemed a bit out of it. She was very slow moving and had that goofy smile, her eyes only half opened.
"Oh cool, people are here. How are y'all? Call me hughes"

[LemonZest1337]

Haley looks up at Lucas and shakes her head. "I... I don't know. But look at this." Haley pulled out her phone and scrolled to the pictures engine kid sent, her hand was shaking slightly. She the look up as Karen enter the room, now normally she might have been happy but the current circumstance had her shaken. I just hope he's alright... She thought someone as nice as the engine kid didn't deserve the possible grizzly fate that the pictures depicted. She slowly looked back at Lucas.

[Azure Flame]

Lucas paled at the last picture. "This isn't some kind of joke, is it?" he asked.

[LemonZest1337]

Haley shook her head again. "I don't think it is..." Her fear and sadness were fairly clear on her face. "I-I just don't know what to think..." Haley took back her phone and slid it into her pocket. "Maybe the teachers will have some information for us..." She proposed with a fleeting hint of hope. She then sifted through her things and made sure she was ready for class. I... I need answers... She thought to herself clenching her fist.

[Azure Flame]

"I just wish there was something we could do." he said. "But I know we're not strong enough for a real villain."

[OrizaSaucer]

Karen was stupidly nervous now, her earlier blunder completely stripping her of almost, if not all, of her confidence. Her hair still billowed around her back and shoulders, as the nature of fire is to move. She swallowed what little saliva she had in her mouth, and slowly walked to sit beside the sleepy girl. Her cheeks were flushed a deep red, and she was speechless for quite some time, her mind berating her over and over for her stupidity. Eventually she realised that she still had to be polite, and she took a few deep breaths before she spoke to Hughes.
"Karen. P-pleasure, I'm sure..."
Even when introducing herself, she stuttered. Internally screaming, she forces a smile at Hughes', and hopes she isn't seen as a lunatic, or a simple idiot. She payed no attention to what Haley and Lucas were talking about, both due to her choosing not to eavesdrop, and because there was a lot more on her mind than she wanted, mostly being how stupid she reacted in front of her new class.

Meruem Kiryu - @OrizaSaucer @LeamonZest89 @manapool1 @Azure Flame

No, no! he barked and growled silently. I need to know, he's at school right? Yea. he has to be, I'll get answers from him!

Meruem sprinted through the gates of U.A., dodging the slow students and meandering teachers. As he got to his classroom, he slammed the door open and peered... at a new student. A new student who was sitting in the Engine-Kids' seat. Tsk! I didn't even catch his name, There was something about what was going on, something that plunged his gut into a corkscrew. He held his stomach to keep his breakfast together and quickly clamped his mouth with the other to hid his frown.

Through muffled words he apologized to the new girl. "Sorry, I didn't... Didn't mean to startle anyone." He made a beeline for his seat. He plopped his bag down, stuffed his hands in his pockets, and leaned back. His body was being ravaged by jitters and excess energy. Calm down, Meruem! It was a joke, a horrible one but a joke nonetheless. The teacher will know. Wraith the Hero, will know.

He let his body ease, first reluctantly, then forcibly. He pushed his anxiety beneath the hungry waves and allowed himself to smile. Out of some need... or want, he found, Haley's face. "Morning everyone," he said before noticing what he shouldn't have missed before. Another new student, burning and sparking, sizzling and warm. He pushed his seat from beneath him, his smile turning into a excited grin. "Hi, I'm Meruem Kiryu. What's ya name?"

[LemonZest1337]

Haley jumped slightly as Meruem burst into the room then she turned her attention back to Lucas. "Mmmm. W-we'll just wait and see if the teachers have anything to say. They'll know for sure." She then forced a smile and focused on waiting for the teacher. There has to be answers. I'll just have to wait to find them. She nodded to herself and regained most of her composure, before looking at the two new girls. She tried in vain to be excited that two new girls were in the class. Perhaps now she wouldn't get so much attention she thought on this briefly before returning to her other thoughts.

[Azure Flame]

"Right." he said, getting in his seat.

@LeamonZest89@Renny@OrizaSaucer@LeamonZest89

"It sure is, flame girl. I gotta say you're pretty tall" came the slow, relaxed response of the other new girl, her eyes fixed on the fire, her face still smiling like an oaf. She didn't call her by her real name, instead 'fire girl' but it wasn't meant as a derogatory thing, more as a new little nickname. She was cut off from further talk as another boy slammed his way into the class, and though she didn't seem too afraid, she slowly moved her head past the new tall girl to see him, giving a dainty little wave before moving back and reclining into her seat. When that same boy immediately moved towards the girl with flame hair she merely chuckled.
"Gee, you're not one for subtlety? Heheh" She chuckled afterwards, a snort at the end.

Suddenly the room began to grow colder, to the point that one's breath could be seen. The lights dimmed as a long, masculine sigh echoed through the room. Walking into the class was a hunched over Xavier. His eyes seemed so much less active and excited, his body slightly more thinned out and longer, his hair all drooped down and slightly covering his eyes. There were bags under his eyes, and there where slightly red from what one can only assume was crying. He held a large box in his hands that he placed with a large thud onto the podium before looking to the class, taking a moment to just stare at them before giving a deep breath and speaking in a droning, shaky voice.
"Class" He began, his eyes growing glassy now.

"It is with a heavy heart I share some information with you all. A fellow student of your classroom, Baxter Crash, was found dead at 3:48 A.M. this morning. With him, another U.A. student, Lua Taako, was found dead with him. If you haven't noticed, because of this, a student was to take his place, but we found the backups had almost identical scores and so I agreed to take them both. Meet Karen Koning, and, my own Daughter. Ayn Walker" He responded, gesturing to the two of them. He let out a groan as he turned his head, mummbling to himself over how he isn't doing this right.

"it's terrifying to think of an apprentice such as you all being defeated by a villain, but it's the fact of the matter that it's dangerous and if you don't keep your cool, this could be you. But, don't be discouraged. This is what you are learning to fight, now you have an incentive. We won't ever forget Baxter, what little time you had with him, but the quicker we train you, the better you can use those skills to save people from similar issues" He responded. There was a long silence after this before he clapped his hands together loudly.
"Now then! I have your costumes. Karen, they made you one based on your request from the past class, however, they may have taken advantage of the fact they can use the transfer as an excuse to add whatever they like. Ayn already has a costume she brought herself. Would you all like to see them?"

[olcharlieboi]

Zero

The door would open as another boy stepped in, his pale features very distinguishing him. Carrying only a bag on his shoulder for school supplies and of course wearing the usual uniform. He would scan over the room once before stepping towards the teacher and giving him a bow seeming of respect. "I apologize for my tardiness sir" he speaks, his voice wouldn't have any distinct accent to it, it would sound nearly like an answering machine more than a person, then he would straighten his posture pulling out a paper and holding it out towards Wraith, the paper being his somewhat late transfer into the class.

[OrizaSaucer]

Karen calmed slightly knowing she didn't embarrass herself infront of all of her new classmates, so she starts going back to what she is normally like(more confident and a bit louder than she has been).
"Karen Koning. Pleasure to meet you, I'm sure."
She doesn't smile, but she does have a warm look in her eyes, as well as being warm in general due to her flaming hair. She raises an eyebrow at Ayn, not overly content with 'Flame Girl' as a nickname, but just so there isn't any conflict, she remains quiet about that. She's about to say something, when Wraith enters with a chill, and the bad news. Although she never met the boy, knowing that he was killed by a villain is still unnerving to say the least, and as such she goes back to being a bit quiet. She stays quiet while he talks, almost holding her breath, and feels like she should speak up when it comes to her costume, which is non-existent due to her unstable quirk, but decides to keep her mouth shut. She silently muses to herself about the very odd and creepy order of events, including the new boy entering at such a bad time.

[Fjanz]

Augustus had appeared on the way to the classroom as a message on his phone. He opened the message at the same moment as he felt the fear Haley gets. Augustus dies in the classroom. You also saw the news. Where is Mr.Xavier? He ignores the new faces until short for a moment than he looks at them. who are you? (in the head of the new persons) Xaviaiar was comming and said that the missing student Baxter is dead. He also says that we can see our costumes. He says that we have an incentive now and also that we can see our costumes.

[manapool1]

"Ah thanks. I suppose we have another student, named uhhhh" He responded, pulling up the paper and reading the name aloud.
"Charles McCloud. Uh, find a seat I suppose. Anyway, costumes. Come up here and get yours, they'll have a note telling you all about what they can do and why they are designed the way they are"

[Azure Flame]

Lucas paled when Xavier told them the news. Two of their fellow classmates were found dead. Lucas walked up to grab his costume and said "Sir, apparently some of the students got photos from Baxter before he died, you may want to look at them." He motioned for Haley to show him her phone.
