章節 7: First day

[Two months later] [Monday - 6:30]

Doryoku woke up early and quite expectant for his first day at UA, so he got up from his bed and got ready to go to the academy.

Unlike the entrance test in which he had to go with Oboro, they would both go this time separately, mainly because Oboro was always late.

Doryoku dressed silently, brushed his teeth, prepared a light breakfast for himself and his mother and started walking towards the exit after having his backpack ready with everything he needed.

"Where do you think you're going Dory-chan? I can't just be asleep without saying goodbye to you on your first day of school" said Doryoku's mother with an inquisitive tone as she appeared behind him who was quite upset by her sudden appearance.

"How-?" Doryoku said quite confused by the appearance of his mother and being cut off by her.

"I know you better than anyone Dory-chan, I knew you would leave without telling me to let me sleep more" said the mother with a victorious smile and then see her son from closer.

"Your face still looks dirty you have to wash it again, besides your tie is too tight and you need to fix your hair" said Doryoku's mother with a warning tone and seeing things that Doryoku still couldn't differentiate from himself.

The UA uniform was basically dark green pants, a white shirt, a gray vest, and a red tie, quite comfortable and breathable for Doryoku's liking.

Doryoku wiped his face again and loosened his tie a bit, only to be caught by his mother and her demon brush.

"Ouch, Okā-chan that hurts" Doryoku said as he comically cried and his mother fixed his hair.

"You are lucky to look like your father, otherwise I am sure you would be mistaken for a homeless man" Doryoku's mother said as she managed to fix Doryoku's hair somehow.

Doryoku dramatically clutched his head as he shed a few tears from the pain of that demonic brush.

His mother could only let out a tired sigh at the drama of her son and say...

"You've already grown a lot Dory-chan, you're already a man" said Doryoku's mother as she pressed his cheeks affectionately.

Doryoku was already the same height as his mother, 5,9 feet, so this she was very happy for the growth of her son.

"At any moment you will find a girlfriend and you will forget your mother" said Doryoku's mother dramatically like few times, causing Doryoku to have a drop of sweat on the back of his neck.

"Take care Dory-chan, have a nice day at your new school and remember that I'm proud of you" Doryoku's mother said warmly as she kissed him on the forehead.

"I'll have it Okā-chan, see you!" Doryoku said smiling widely and leaving his house.

At the excited attitude of her son, his mother smiled happily and said.

"Every day he looks more like you Daiki, if you were here, I'm sure you would also be proud" said Doryoku's mother with a bit of nostalgia as she remembered that man with dark red hair.

With Doryoku, he took the train to Musutafu to get to his first day of classes at the academy.

After this, he walked a bit through the quiet streets of the morning calmly and enjoying his journey.

When he arrived at the academy, there were only a few maintenance people and the occasional teacher with various documents who seemed quite busy.

Doryoku walked through the empty corridors of the UA in search of his classroom.

After walking through the large building for a while, Doryoku found his classroom, General Studies Room C-1.

But as he passed through the door, Doryoku hit his left shoulder with some force from a miscalculation.

"I curse you physical training" Doryoku said as he grabbed his left shoulder in a bit of pain.

Something that no one told him is that when you exercise your body obviously grows, but it makes you have the wrong idea of your body in space, like who drives a car and then a truck causing your shoulders to suffer a lot because of it.

It was 7:20 a.m. or so, so there was obviously no one inside and Doryoku chose the first seat next to the door to sit.

There was a certain feeling of accomplishment and control of the situation arriving so early anywhere, so Doryoku was extremely punctual due to this.

Doryoku reached for his phone and started listening to music to wait for the rest of the class while he listened to the more masculine songs, those of Taylor Swift.

"~Got a long list of ex lovers they'll tell you am insane~" Doryoku sang lightly as he waited for the rest, leaned back in his seat and used his backpack as a pillow.

Little by little the students were arriving, they all seemed very excited for their first day and seemed to make friends with each other.

A small detail that should be noted is that, Doryoku always had an aura of 'stay away' around him, it was not that strong but he always kept most people away from him.

It was not something scary, it felt like Doryoku wanted to rest without being disturbed, like a cat but without the adorable unless you are his mother.

At one point two students arrived who were much louder than the rest, one of them was a blonde girl with short hair down to her shoulders and yellow eyes that seemed to shine especially energetic and loud, in addition to another girl with long purple hair with eyes of the same color that was always by her side and was calmer.

"Hey!!" said the blonde girl appearing next to Doryoku and making him jump a little in fright.

"H-huh? Do you need something?" Doryoku asked much more kindly than the girl expected.

"Wow, I thought you were some kind of emo, whatever, my name is Mirai itō, tell me what made you come to the academy of heroes partner" said the girl now known as Mirai a little surprised and with enough curiosity and energy.

"M-mirai, you shouldn't ask that so lightly" said the purple haired girl a little nervous and trying to stop her.

"Don't worry Azami, this is kinder than he seems" Mirai said without worrying and waiting for a response from Doryoku.

Faced with the girl's energy and curiosity, Doryoku had a drop of sweat on the back of his neck, until he decided to answer.

"My name is Doryoku Suzuki, it's my pleasure and well, I'm here just to study" said Doryoku cordially and with a calm tone causing the girl known as Azami to be a bit surprised.

"It is quite rare to see someone who comes only to study, what is your quirk? I can make lights with my hands" Mirai asked somewhat surprised as well and with even more curiosity as her hands lit up.

"I'm a kyanseru, though I think-" Doryoku said trying to remember the name of his quirk until he was cut off.

"Sorry you took a long time, I have to ask the rest!" Mirai said suddenly ignoring Doryoku and talking to the next student.

"I'm sorry about that Suzuki-san" Azami said as she made a little apologetic bow and followed Mirai.

'I guess I already know who the class president will be' Doryoku thought with a nervous smile seeing the girl's social capabilities.

Doryoku leaned back on his chair to wait for his teacher and start class.

And after a few minutes, the door opened showing a man with dark blue skin, a big smile and the appearance of a ghost apparently, dressed in a dark blue trench coat as well and apparently having a bit of difficulty walking.

"Good morning students, I will be the main teacher of this class, my hero name is Ectoplasm, it is a pleasure to meet you" said teacher Ectoplasm quite cordially and calmly.

Although he didn't look like it, this was his first time being a teacher and he was a little nervous, but there weren't many expressions to show on his face to notice.

After having an accident and losing his legs, Ectoplasm still wanted to help heroic society in some way with all the experience gained from his golden hero days.

And knowing this, the director Nezu hired him as a professor of the UA, to which he seemed quite in agreement with that option, both to recover until he was fit again, and not to be useless at that time.

And with all this, the first class of the general studies began.

—————————

After his classes, the bell rang indicating lunch time, to which Doryoku came out first cause he was next to the door.

When he was searching for his classroom, Doryoku also took the liberty of doing some research around to find out where each important place in the academy was.

So, Doryoku went to the dining room, ordered some Yakitori, and sat at an empty table next to the window facing outside.

The dining room filled up very quickly with students, but it didn't take long for them to get their food and sit at a table in groups of friends.

The Yakitori was pretty good, although Doryoku was sure his mother cooked much better.

Doryoku ate quietly, until he heard Oboro's voice in the distance.

"Doryoku Look!, I made new friends!" Oboro said excitedly as he dragged a young man with black hair who looked like he would fall asleep at any moment.

Behind Oboro was also a young man with blond hair a lot from the 90s and orange glasses, who had a big smile on his face and brought the food of all of them.

"Look Doryoku!, this boy is called Aizawa Shota and I'm sure he is the last of his clan" Doryoku said as he introduced Aizawa to Doryoku who seemed quite annoyed and his eyes turned color red.

"I told you that I preferred to eat alone" Aizawa said tiredly and trying to escape.

"A pleasure partner my name is Hizashi Yamada!!, How are you?!!" said the blond haired boy now known as Hizashi with much more energy than Oboro and as he dragged Aizawa to the table.

"My pleasure, I'm Doryoku Suzuki" Doryoku said with a bit of nervous sweat and cordiality as he introduced himself.

Aizawa gave up and took the food from him to sit in front of Doryoku and start eating.

Hizashi sat next to him and Oboro sat next to Doryoku as they all started eating together.

"Wow, we look a lot alike!!" Hizashi said suddenly making Aizawa cover his ears from the noise.

"I would say yes!, but Aizawa looks like he will fall asleep at any moment and Doryoku just seems to be bored" Oboro said happily as he pointed at Aizawa and then Doryoku.

"Guilty" Aizawa and Doryoku said at the same time calmly and without denying it as they raised their hands.

"I'm sure Yamada-san is much louder than you Oboro" Doryoku said as he also suffered a bit from Hizashi's screaming.

"Guilty!!" Hizashi and Oboro said at the same time as they excitedly jumped out of their seat and raised their hands.

"What about you Suzuki-san!!, what brings you to the UA?!" Hizashi asked Doryoku excitedly and quite curious.

"Actually I came straight to study in the general studies department, I doubt it's a good idea to be a hero" Doryoku said in a calm tone as Hizashi looked a bit surprised as did Aizawa.

"What is your Quirk Suzuki?" Aizawa asked correctly assuming than the problem was in his quirk.

"I am a kyanseru, in short my quirk is too volatile and difficult for my body to control and I need to use this bracelet to cancel it" said Doryoku calmly as he lifted his right sleeve revealing his black bracelet.

At this, Hizashi and Aizawa understood Doryoku's situation completely and decided not to ask any more, making the environment a bit awkward.

"You don't have to feel nervous, I can use my quirk to a certain extent with a switch and I don't mind talking about it" said Doryoku smiling slightly and causing both of them to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Suzuki, from what you say your quirk can make you a great hero, why didn't you even try to get into the hero department?" Aizawa asked quite confused and interested in that aspect.

"My goal was never to be a hero in my whole life, just to graduate to help my mother and to have more time with her" Doryoku said smiling calmly as he continued eating.

"*Sniff* Damn I always cry when he gets like this" said Oboro as he comically cried and wiped his tears with his napkin.

"*Sniff* I support you Suzuki-san! You can count on me!" Hizashi said as he covered his face with his right arm and also seemed to be crying.

"It wasn't that bad" Doryoku said with blank eyes at their exaggerated reaction.

Aizawa, although it may not seem like it, was also quite affected by Doryoku's words while he was eating.

'So that's why he does it, if I want to be a hero, I should have a motivation as strong or at least similar to his own' Aizawa thought rather doubtfully about his hero studies and whether he was really cut out to be one.

And this ends Doryoku and Oboro's first day at UA.
