"This pce is huge!" Tetsutetsu excimed as he looked around the sprawling campus of U.A. High School in awe.

  "For real," Jiro agreed, gng around as well. She tried to be discreet, but her eyes flickered over the other students wearing the same U.A. uniform as them, clearly just as curious.

  "And there are so many students..." Tetsutetsu added, his initial excitement cooling off as his expression became more ral. He even started stuffing his hands into his pockets, like he was already used to the vibe of being at U.A.

  It was easy to tell that Tetsutetsu was beginning to see himself as part of this prestigious Hero school. His demeanor showed how simple guys like him could adapt quickly.

  "Well, that makes sense," Kaminari chimed in from the front, keeping his eyes on the signs direg them toward Css 1-A. "U.A. doesn't just have the Hero Course, but also the Support Course, Business Administration, and even regur academic tracks."

  "But even for the general subjects, U.A. accepts way fewer students than other schools. The entrance exams for U.A., whether practical or written, are no joke," Kaminari tinued, leading the way as the three of them entered aor to the fifth floor.

  The elevator opeo reveal a rge hallway. To the left were s for the Support and Business Administration courses, and on the right were those for the Hero Course.

  "Here it is... Hero Course, Css 1-A," Kaminari announced as they approached a door with "1-A" painted in bold red letters above it. The number seemed almost te, giving the door an intimidating presence.

  But there was no reason to be nervous. They'd made it. They were here, ready to meet their cssmates and start their journey as heroes.

  Kaminari, with a calm expression, pushed the door open and stepped inside. He felt a surge of curiosity more than anything—w who his new cssmates would be and what kind of Quirks they had.

  As the door swung open, the room fell silent. The students who had already taken their seats turo look at the three newers.

  For a moment, everyone just stared at each other, as if sizing one another up.

  Then, a tall boy in the back with gsses suddenly stood up. With a serious expression, he walked toward them, stopping in front of Kaminari, Tetsutetsu, and Jiro before extending his right hand.

  "Good m!" he said in a formal tone. "I am Iida Tenya, from Soumei Private Academy! I look forward t with you all."

  Kaminari reized him immediately as the same Iida who'd left a strong impression during the entrance exam. Despite their teera back then, Kaminari didn't hold any grudges. He reached out and shook Iida's hand.

  "Kaminari Denki," he introduced himself.

  "Jiro Kyoka," Jiro said coolly, giving a small nod.

  Tetsutetsu, oher hand, puffed out his chest and decred proudly, "Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu! I'm going to be the hardest, most hardcore hero out there!"

  For a moment, no one in the room reacted. But a red-haired boy sittihe back raised an eyebrow, intrigued. Though he said nothing, it was clear from his expression that he was already making a mental o challesutetsu at some point.

  The three of them made their way to seats by the windows, with Kaminari taking the middle one. As soon as he sat down, a taller-than-average girl with long bck hair sitting nearby turo look at him, her eyes lighting up with i.

  "Kaminari... Denki?"

  "Uh, yeah?" Kaminari responded, fshing a polite smile, already used to people reizing his name.

  "Hello, my name is Yaoyorozu Momo," she said with a warm smile. "I've heard your music before."

  Kaminari's eyebrows lifted slightly, surprised to meet someone here who knew his music. Yaoyorozu tinued, "I'm not particurly into rock, but your songs are really enjoyable to listen to."

  "Especially Only My Railgun. Though I think Hero is more of a boy's song," she added with a pyful glint in her eyes.

  "Thanks. It's an honor to know you liked them," Kaminari replied smoothly, having heard simir pliments from fans many times before. Even though Yaoyorozu was a beautiful girl, he remained posed.

  "Pfft." Yaoyorozu suddenly ughed, giving him a pyful gnce. "e on, we're cssmates now! Is it really okay to be so formal?"

  She then leaned in slightly and added with a teasing smile, "I've seen ye on MTV before. That's not how you replied to ents on there!"

  Kaminari was momentarily speechless, while the other students who had been the exge began whispering among themselves. Some of them seemed to be eg the dots, realizing that Kaminari might actually be more than just a regur student.

  A pink-haired girl sitting nearby quickly pulled out her phone and, after a moment of searg, gasped. "Wait a minute! You're the guy who sang Only My Railgun!?"

  As soon as she said it, the rest of the students who were unfamiliar with the music se started reag too.

  Several of them took out their phones and began searg for him, and soon the room was buzzing with murmurs of surprise.

  "It's really him!"

  "No way! Our cssmate is the creator of Only My Railgun?" excimed Toru Hagakure, whose invisible figure was only noticeable by her floating clothes. Tetsutetsu kept gng at her, clearly fasated by her Quirk.

  "Wait, Hero is your song too? I've listeo that track at least ten times!" shouted the red-haired boy from earlier—Kirishima Eijiro.

  Even students who hadn't joined in on the phone searches, like Todoroki and Tokoyami, now g Kaminari with mild i.

  Kaminari raised a hand, giving a small wave as he addressed the css. "Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the support, but remember—right now, I'm not a singer or a star. I'm just a student in Css 1-A of U.A., just like all of you. I look forward t with you."

  His calm response was met with approving nods. Kaminari khis kind of attention wouldn't st long. After today, once everyo used to him, it would all die down. They'd see him as a fellow student rather than a celebrity.

  *Bang!*

  The door to the suddenly swung open with a loud crash. The sound reverberated through the room, and everyone froze.

  All eyes turoward the entrance, where a boy with spiky, ash-blonde hair stood. His whole posture screamed arrogance. From the way he walked to the way he carried himself, he looked more like a delihan a student.

  With a loud thud, he slumped into a seat in the back of the room, casually propping his feet up on the desk.

  Kaminari watched him with mild annoyance. He didn't know this guy personally, but he didn't like him already. There was something about his demeanor that just rubbed Kaminari the wrong way. It wasn't just a matter of age, it was something simpler than that. He just didn't like this type of person.

  "You!"
