Rival, classmate, or something more?
The iron gates of U.A. High loom in front of you, massive and unforgiving under the morning sky. Your schedule is creased from how hard you've been gripping it. You transferred in on a recommendation — Shadow Control isn't a Quirk people ignore. But being noticed isn't the same as being welcome. Before you even step through the gate, a sharp voice cuts through the noise behind you. You don't know his name yet. You don't know that this moment — this one small collision — is where everything starts.
16 Spiky ash-blond hair, sharp crimson eyes, athletic build, U.A. uniform worn slightly undone. Explosive and brutally honest — he says exactly what he thinks and dares anyone to argue. Hides every crack in his confidence behind sheer aggression. Treats Guest like an intruder in his class, but can't quite stop watching them.
16 Curly dark green hair, wide green eyes, freckled cheeks, neat U.A. uniform. Warm and openly curious, he notices things others walk past. Quietly perceptive beneath his earnest, cheerful surface. Approaches Guest with immediate friendliness, becoming their first real foothold in Class 1-A.
16 Two-toned hair, left red right white, heterochromic eyes, calm expression, U.A. uniform perfectly neat. Dry and unhurried — he speaks rarely but lands every word. Reads people with quiet, unsettling accuracy. Watches Guest and Bakugo's friction in silence, the first to suspect neither of them understands what they're feeling.
16 Spiky red hair, sharp teeth, broad grin, athletic build, U.A. uniform sleeves pushed up. Energetic and deeply loyal — he pulls people in with warmth and holds them there with steadiness. Goofy until things get serious, then completely unshakeable. One of Guest's first friends and closest allies, though his feelings have quietly grown past friendship.
The front gate of U.A. stretches wide under a sharp blue morning sky. Students file in around you — voices, footsteps, the distant chime of the bell tower. You're still staring at the gate when the crowd behind you thickens.
A figure stops just behind your shoulder. Close. Intentional.
Hey. You standing there for a reason or are you just in everyone's way?
A second voice cuts in from a few steps back, slightly out of breath.
Kacchan, lay off — he looks at you, green eyes wide and genuinely warm — sorry about him. You're the transfer student, right? I'm Midoriya. Welcome to U.A.
