The Protagonist System

185 School Daze

It was the first day of school, so I kissed my girlfriends goodbye, then hugged and kissed Eri on the forehead and asked her to be good for mom, then kissed Inko's cheek. They all waved as I left and I went to the train station. It was a long trip to UA and I boarded the first car and sat down as I checked my class assignment again. I sighed because it was 1-A, just like Midnight had warned me it would be.

Why did they put me in the problem class where everyone else had issues? Maybe it was because Aizawa hated All Might and wanted his chosen protege under his thumb? In any case, I was going to have to be careful with how I acted. I was tempted to be a complete asshole and defy the teacher right from the start, then chose to ignore the man instead. In the end, he didn't matter.

I arrived at the train station by the school and made my way onto the campus. The place was crowded and there were dozens of people checking out the new arrivals. I gained a lot of appraising looks, since I was 6 feet tall and had a muscular physique that could put pro heroes to shame. I nodded or said hello to anyone that did it first and entered the building.

I used a search spell to find the right classroom and entered. I was the first to arrive, so I found a seat in the middle of the room and sat down. There was no way I was going to sit in the troublemaker's seat at the back of the room by the window. I would let some other idiot accept that stigma, thank you very much.

Dammit, I just called myself an idiot. I thought and sighed as I leaned back in my seat and crossed my arms. I only had to wait another 20 minutes for the rest of the class to arrive and for Aizawa to not let us go to the general assembly. It was one of the reasons I didn't want to be in his class. He ignored proper school procedure and his students always suffered for it.

People started walking by the door and a few looked in. I wasn't surprised to see a few of the characters I recognized, like the martial arts girl with big fists and the mushroom girl. Both were cute and blushed when I waved at them. It kept me amused as some of the Class 1-A students started arriving.

“Good morning, Midoriya.” Momo said when she came in and sat beside me.

“Good morning, Miss Youyorozu. How are you today?” I asked.

Momo smiled at me. “I'm a little nervous about meeting our classmates. How about you?”

“I know everyone that's going to be here, they just don't know me yet.” I said and she let out a little laugh. “I'm serious. Todoroki should be next, then Tsuyu the frog girl, then I'm sure Jiro the ear jack girl will be right behind her.”

Momo stared at me. “How do you know that?”

“Time and practice.” I said, not explaining that I was using the trick All For One had used. It was a combination of three different quirks working in conjunction that let him predict things in the very near future. It was only like 5 minutes warning; but, that was plenty of time to figure out who was going to show up next.

Momo looked like she didn't believe me and I chuckled and pointed to the door just as Todoroki stepped through the doorway.

“Good morning, Ice King.” I said and waved. “Grab a seat and tell me how your sister reacted.”

Todoroki smiled briefly and walked over to sit on my other side. “She wouldn't stop hugging me until this morning when she absolutely had to let me go.”

I barked a laugh. “I figured she'd adore your new aspect. Your powers compliment each other perfectly.”

Todoroki nodded. “It's been quite the difference.” He said and formed a dagger out of ice and then let it dissipate into nothing. “I've never had this much control before.”

I patted his shoulder once and let go. “I'm glad you're enjoying it as much as I hoped you would.”

“I am.” Todoroki said. “Good morning, Youyorozu.”

“Good morning, Todoroki.” Momo responded.

I pointed at the doorway again and in walked Tsuyu and right behind her was Jiro.

“How?” Momo asked.

“It's magic!” I said and laughed.

Momo softly laughed and then rolled her eyes at me.

“I can feel the quirks in my range, actually. It's pretty easy to tell who's who after a while.” I said and waved to the two new girls. “Ladies, it's nice to meet you. I'm Izuku Midoriya. Feel free to call me Izuku.” I said and motioned to Momo and then Shouto. “The beauty on my right is Momo Youyorozu and the beauty on my left is Shouto Todoroki.”

I felt the instant power-up of ice and leaned my head back as a snowball shot through the space my head was just in. It barely missed the tip of Momo's nose and hit the far wall with a splat.

“I'm not a beauty.” Todoroki said in a low tone that promised pain.

I chuckled and held my hands up in surrender. “I'm sorry. It was a joke and I won't repeat it.”

“Be sure that you don't.” Todoroki said and lowered his hand.

“I'm Tsuyu Asui. You can call me Tsu.” The frog girl said.

“I'm Kyoka Jiro. Just Jiro is fine.” The ear jack girl said.

“Welcome to Class 1-A.” I said and waved at the chairs in front of me. “Have a seat and tell us how your families reacted to having heroines in the family.”

“Mom was okay with it. Dad almost lost his mind.” Jiro said. “You'd swear I was signing up to be a famous rock star or something.”

“My mom freaked out, too. I'm used to it, though.” I said and nodded at Tsu. “How about you?”

“They're really happy and also nervous. I take care of the tadpoles and travelling here from home takes a while.” Tsu admitted.

“Really? That sucks.” I said and took out my top of the line cell phone. Tsu and Jiro sucked in sharp breaths when they saw it. Both Todoroki and Momo nodded in approval. “Excuse me for a moment, I just need to check on something real quick.” I said and started searching for a new place to live.

“Todoroki, I just noticed your face.” Momo said and the two new girls also looked. “You found a healer that could fix it?”

“Something like that.” Todoroki said and tried to not look at me.

“Izuku did it?” Momo asked, surprised. “What's your quirk? I thought it was strength or something.”

“It's power.” I said and found a nice apartment building that was on sale. It was nearby, too. “Hey, Tsu. Where do the tadpoles go to school? Would living closer to here be better for them?”

Tsu looked shocked at my questions and blinked her eyes. “Um, they learn at home most days after I get home from school. Mom and dad get home late and take over when they can.”

“Well, that makes the choice to move easier. Do they own their own home? Is it near a swamp or a natural water feature or anything?” I asked and now everyone was staring at me as a couple more students came in, Mina Ashido the pink-skinned acid girl and the rock skin guy, Eijiro Kirishima.

“No, we live in a normal house.” Tsu said.

“Really? Huh.” I said and looked up the real estate agency and chuckled.

“What's funny?” Mina asked as she leaned against my desk.

I looked up at her and smiled, making her blush. “I was looking at a nearby apartment building for sale and the name made me chuckle, because my friend is right there.” I said and handed my phone to Momo Youyorozu. “Could I bother you to arrange buying this for me? You'd save me a ton of time and useless effort.”

“Do you have the funds for such a thing?” Momo asked and flicked through the information.

“Of course. I deal with First National.” I said and she nodded as she worked. “My team and I cleaned up Dagobah Beach and fixed up everything that was there and sold it for a mint price.”

“That was you?” Jiro asked and I nodded.

“Why is that amazing?” Mina asked.

“The place was known as a public dump and no one did anything about it. Now it's listed as one of the main destinations for the best beaches in Japan.” Jiro said. “My mom loves it there because the acoustics are phenomenal.”

“It did come out really nice after I filtered through all that sand for contaminates.” I said and Momo handed me my phone back. The sale had already gone through and she looked pleased. “Thank you very much, Momo. If you ever need anything, let me know.”

Momo's eyes dropped to my phone and went back to my face.

“Do you want one of the top suites as a retreat?” I asked and she nodded. “Then it's yours to do with what you wish. Being so close is going to save us all a lot of travel time during the week, that's for sure.”

A few more students came in, Ochaco Uraraka, Tendo Iida, and Fukikage Tokoyami.

“Did you just buy an apartment building at school?” Jiro asked and Ochaco gasped.

“Yeah, I've been putting it off because I've been so busy studying and training for the entrance exams. Now that school's started, I can relax and get some other things done.” I said and looked over the sale agreement. “It looks like the apartment building passed inspection and none of the apartments are rented yet after a fight damaged it and they had to renovate.”

“It was covered under Mount Lady's agency insurance.” Momo said. “I can assure you, the company my parents run would not cheap out on materials.”

I had to chuckle at that and smiled at her. “I know and I trust your expertise, Momo. The Youyorozu Group would never cheat their customers.”

Momo smiled back and nodded.

“Are you talking about the building a few blocks over?” Ochaco asked and I showed her the building on my phone. “My family's construction company worked on that and it looks great inside! The apartments are huge and have all the amenities.”

Momo almost preened at the praise.

I turned to Tsu. “So, what do you say? Do you want to move in during the week and your family can return to your actual house on the weekends?”

Everyone let out sounds of surprise as Tsu blushed.

“As my neighbour.” I clarified and everyone relaxed. “I already have five girlfriends and we're engaged, so there no need for you and Momo to worry about anything untoward happening.”

“F-f-f-five? You have FIVE girlfriends?” The girls asked.

“Yep! They also agreed to marry me when we're old enough to not need their parents permission.” I said.

“The law won't allow multiple wives.” Momo said and looked a little sad.

“We can worry about that when it's time. Until then...” I started to say.

“We can live together happily and raise our daughter without worry.” A familiar voice cut me off.

I caught my breath and jumped to my feet to stare at the doorway. There they stood, my five girlfriends, and they wore their best Gyaru outfits. Unlike middle school, they didn't bother trying to hide who they really were. I walked over to them and gave each of them a kiss, right on the lips, and they blushed.

“What are you doing here?” I asked and then my eyes widened. “You didn't!”

Hibiki giggled and handed me her acceptance letter. I took it and read who the top students were and there were the five names I never would have expected to see.

“Why?” I asked and looked at each of their faces. “I thought you were going to attend a normal hero school and we could meet up on the weekends.”

“We did some research and realized you trained us too well.” Hibiki said. “If we didn't try out for UA, our skills and abilities would go to waste.”

“Plus, we wanted to be here with you as you showed off.” Rei said and tapped her ear. “You sneaky devil. Buying us a home without talking to us first.”

“I'm sorry, it really did slip my mind. It was Tsu that reminded me I wanted a place close by.” I said and motioned to the frog girl. “She was about to tell me if she was going to accept my offer to move in.”

Everyone turned to look at Tsu and the poor girl blushed deeply and let out a very frog-like sound.

“Ribbit.” Tsu said and looked really embarrassed.

“Hey, you don't have to answer right away. Talk to your family and invite them over to look at the apartments. Momo already agreed and I've got my mother and my girlfriends agreeing, too. The top floor's pretty much taken up now, so there's only a dozen other floors to fill up.”

“How much?” Ochaco asked.

“With a combined student and friend discount, it's only 5,000 Yen a month.” I said.

“SIGN ME UP!” Everyone shouted, except for Todoroki. He just smiled and shook his head.

The rest of the class came in as Momo arranged rental agreements with everyone, since I made her my temporary building manager, and they all signed up for an apartment. The money was just what was needed to cover the utilities and things, so the apartment was pretty much free. I would set up various protections and things for it as well after school.

A giant silkworm slid into the classroom and watched us finish up, then it stood and opened up to reveal it was the teacher, Shouto Aizawa. “Take your seats.”

Everyone did so and he had nothing to complain about, then he lifted a carboard box onto the teacher's desk and pulled out a jogging suit.

“Put these on and meet me at the sports field at the back of the school.” Aizawa said and left.

Akari was at the box first and made a sad sound. “They're all the same.”

Rei softly laughed and helped pass out the uniforms to everyone.

“We can change in the locker rooms by the field.” I said and we all left the classroom at a jog. We split off, the boys in one and the girls in the other one.

When we reached the field, I finally managed to see who was a part of the class. The girls were the same as in canon, with Momo Yaoyorozu (creation), Tsuyu Asui (frog), Toru Hagakure (invisible), Kyoka Jiro (ear jack), Mina Ashido (acid), and Ochaco Uraraka (gravity).

Then there were my five girls added to that, with Hibiki Yuzuko (bluebell flames), Akari Shimizu (elastic powers), Rin Matsumoto (super hearing), Keiko Yoshida (water manipulation), and Mai Sasaki (super strength). With them there, the number of girls were almost on par with the boys that also made it into the class.

The boys were Mezo Shoji (multi-arms), Shoto Todoroki (ice), Rikido Sato (sugar buff), Tenya Ida (engine legs), Denki Kaminari (taser guy), Fumikage Tokoyami (bird shadow), Hanta Sero (elbow tape), Eijiro Kirishima (stone skin), and myself, Izuku Midoriya (power).

It wasn't until Aizawa started talking that I realized there were three of the recommended students in the class instead of the the normal two. Momo, Todoroki, and myself. That left Setsuna alone in Class 1-B and I wondered how that came about. I glanced at my five girls and they surrounded me and started whispering.

“We totally cheated with the exam placements.” Rin told me. “We showed up early, found the arena assignment cards under the seats, and sat where we had to instead of together. We did the exams and then went to the same city block and worked as a team to completely destroy the competition.”

I had to muffle my laugh at them gaming the system and the girls looked amused.

“We kept it secret because we wanted to surprise you today.” Hibiki said. “Then you bought an entire apartment building and surprised us right back.”

“I did that because I knew your parents wouldn't approve of you all moving in with me.” I said and gave each of them a quick kiss. “This way, you can keep pretending you're staying over at each other's place instead of with me.”

“Aww, you're so considerate.” Mai said and gave me another kiss. “We should pay attention to the teacher now.”

I nodded as Aizawa called out Ochaco for being the highest rank in the normal exams. We all watched as she accepted the baseball from the teacher and she used her quirk on it and threw it. It kept going and going, since the pull of gravity had been negated on it.

“This is what happens when you use your quirks to excel.” Aizawa said and showed his phone with the infinity symbol on it.

Ochaco skipped back over to the class and beamed a smile at everyone.

“Now we'll do the actual physical tests.” Aizawa said and that's what we did.

Of course, myself and my team excelled at all of them and no one could touch us. We had a lot of practice using our powers and applying them to practical uses, so none of the events caused us to slow down. The only events we were beaten in were the ball throw and long jump, because Ochaco's infinity couldn't be beaten.

Funnily enough, Aizawa didn't interfere with mine when I threw the ball. At least, I didn't think he did. I hadn't been affected if he had, so I knew his erasing quirk didn't work on me. That was good to know.

“Get your info packs from your desks and read them over. Regular classes start tomorrow.” Aizawa said and we were dismissed.
