《Claws and Lightning (Male Zeraora Reader x Boku no Hero Academia)》CH 4: New Territory, New Rules
Advertisement
As Zeraora was about to depart for his first day his sister Pixie-Bob once again pulled him in for another hug much to his dismay, though he didn't struggle much, after years of dealing with his sister's eccentric behavior he grew to a point where he is rather numb to it, mostly anyway.
After what felt like hours Pixie-Bob finally releases her brother. '(Y/N), make sure you play nice with the other students, and respect your teachers OK 😊, said Pixie-Bob. Zeraora simply gave her a somewhat reassuring nod while also signifying that he won't guarantee anything.
As Zeraora traverses through the halls of UA High searching for his homeroom Class 1-A, his encounters Midoriya who much to his surprise was able to get admitted.
"Hey Zerachan! looks like we're in the same homeroom", Midoriya greets. Zeraora nods as two make their way to Class 1-A.
Having finally reached their homeroom Zeraora noticed Midoriya's nerves getting to him. "Hope those two aren't in this class, maybe everyone here is nice", Midoriya reassures himself, clearly referring Bakugo and the blue haired guy with glasses.
Unfortunately, much to their dismay Midoriya's hope was immediately dismissed as the moment Zeraora opens the door the voices of the aforementioned individuals are heard.
"Take your feet off the right now".
"Huh?"
"It's only the first day and you're already scuffing school materiel you cretin."
"You're kidding right, your old school put a stick up your, or were you born with it"?
"What, okay let's start over I'm Tenya Iida from the Somei Private Academy".
"Somei Huh! So you think you're better than me that it, I'm gonna enjoy tearing you a new one"!
"Wha ! You would threaten me! Are you sure you're in the right place"?!
"Tch".
" Huh, it's them"!
The glasses guy now identified as Tenya Iida turns his attention Midoriya and Zeraora, as does the rest of the class. Midoriya was rather shook with all eyes suddenly aimed at him.
"Ummm... He-hey everyone", Midoriya stuttered.
"Hello! I'm Tenya Iida from Somei"...
"Yeah Yeah I know, I'm Izuku Midoriya it's really nice to meet you". he interrupted.
" Midoriya, you realized there something more to the practical exam and I completely misjudged, I admit as a student you are far superior to me".
Iida's statement had Zeraora rather surprised, he wonders exactly what happened with Midoriya during the exam but he chose wait and see what occurs.
"Hey I know that messy hair, Falling Boy", another's voice catches the trios attention, a brown-haired girl who Midoriya seems to recognized. The girl introduced herself as Ochako Uraraka, she also brings mention to Midoriya's action during the exam however Zeraora simply went his assigned sit, on the way he noticed Bakugo glaring daggers at him but that rather normal at this point, although he spot the same green-haired girl from the entrance exam. Just as Zeraora took his sit his ear twitched from another voice that entered the room.

"If you're just here to make friends then you pack your things and go home", said the unknown man in the sleeping bag.
The entire class reacted from the arrival this man who had serious bags on eyes.
"It took you all eight seconds to quiet down, that won't cut it, rational students would silence themselves immediately. Oh well moving on, I'm Shota Aizawa your homeroom teacher".
"Anyway all of you put on PE uniform and hand out to the field", Aizawa demanded.
"What a quirk assessment test", said the class in shock.
"But orientation we're going to miss it", Uraraka said confused.
"If you really want to make to the big leagues you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies, here in UA we're tethered to traditions therefore I run my classes however I see fit". said Aizawa.
"You've been taking standardized tests in school, but you've never had the chance to use you're quirks in physical exams before. The country's still trying act like everyone's created equal, by not allowing those with the most power excel it's not rational, eventually the Ministry of Education will have to understand that".
"Bakugo you scored the most villain points in the entrance exam, what was your farthest distance with the softball throw", Aizawa asked.
"Sixty-Seven Meters I think", Bakugo answerd.
"Right, this time try doing it with your quirk".
Bakugo was handed a softball and stepped into a circle.
"Anything goes just in the circle, hurry it up you're wasting our time", Aizawa said.
"Alright man you asked for it", Bakugo said with confidence.
The Class observed as prepared to wind up for a throw, Zeraora briefly noticed Bakugo smirking.
"NOW DIE", Bakugo shouted as he fired the ball with tremendous force.
"All of you need to know you maximum capabilities, it's the most rational way of determining your potential as Pro Hero", Aizawa said while also revealing Bakugo's softball record, leaving the class rather surprised and excited.
"Whoa Seven Hundred and Five meters are you kidding me", said the blonde-haired boy.
"I wanna go it looks like fun", said the girl with pink skin. However that comment didn't seem to sit well with Aizawa.
"So this fun to you huh ? You have three years to become a hero you think its all gonna be games and playtime". Aizawa said with a little contempt. "Idiots you'll partaking in eight physical test to gauge your potential whoever comes in last as none and will be expelled".
The class was left in shock, Uraraka said that he can't expel a student on the first day and that it wasn't fair. Aizawa combats her words by stating that it is heroes duty to battle unfairness.

Zeraora was slightly skeptical about the expulsion, but regardless he mentally prepared himself for the incoming tests.
Zeraora, Iida and the green-haired girl were up first for the 50 meter dash, as the three prepared to run Zeraora body was subtly laced with electricity to enhance his speed.
The instant the robot gave the signal Zeraora dashed to the end in about 1.01 seconds. Iida followed behind with 3.04 seconds.
"At fifty meters I can only reach up to third gear, but I didn't think I would bested in speed, Iida thought to himself as he turns his gaze to Zeraora.
Moving ahead to Midoriya and Bakugo's run, Bakugo propelled himself using his expolsions earning a time of 4.13 seconds.
"My power has more uses than anyone else in the school", he claims as he turn to Midoriya labeling him as 'pathetic', but he looks towards Zeraora with an infuriated glare.
"Even though you always threaten me you never made serious move, you just keep spitting empty threats", as Zeraora's past words replay in Bakugo's mind.
"One day I'm gonna roast that damn hairball", Bakugo declares to himself.
"If Midoriya doesn't step up soon he'll be sent home", Iida states with a little concern.
"Huh! Or course his just a quirkless loser", Bakugo states. " What he has a quirk did you not hear about what he did in the entrance exam, Iida responds. "What?", Bakugo question
Zeraora looks on with some slight doubt about Midoriya's performance, however what Iida and Uraraka's said about the entrance exam still has him curious to what could happen.
As Midoriya throws the softball it only went a measly forty-six meters, it is then revealed that Aizawa had 'erased' his quirk and that Class 1-A's homeroom teacher was the Erasure Hero: Eraserhead, while the name by itself isn't very interesting Eraserhead is probably one few heroes Zeraora could called a 'Pro',
After giving a few word to Midoriya he allows him to attempt the softball toss again. As winds up preparing to throw Zeraora notices a distinct flow of energy in Midoriya's finger, as he throw the ball with incredible force. Leaving Iida, Uraraka, and Bakugo visibly surprised.
"Mister Aizawa, see I'm still standing", he says while forcing a grin.
"This Kid", Aizawa say seemingly impressed.
Zeraora looks on rather shocked, but noticed how Midoriya's finger is broken from that move, leaving him puzzled.
As he tries to process it Bakugo suddenly rushes towards Midoriya.
"HEY! DEKU YOU BASTARD TELL ME HOW YOU DID THAT"! Bakugo demands as he sprints towards him. Only to get intercepted by Aizawa's scarf which doubles as a capture tool.
"Stand Down, I would appreciate it if you don't make use my quirk too much, it gives me serious dry eye. He remarks, and the rest of the comments on his quirk is amazing.
"You're wasting our time right now so get back in line, Zeraora your up", he says calling the boy with the Tiger-like traits.
After shaking hand from the force he exerted Zeraora returns back in line and notices the dumbfounded expression on most of classmates, he also catches Bakugo gritting teeth so hard it's also like their gonna crack.
Aizawa brings up the results of the test, with Zeraora in third, Bakugo in fourth and Midoriya in last. Zeraora slightly glances at Midoriya who look completely dishearten, that is until Aizawa reveals the expulsion threat was just a 'rational deception', however Zeraora suspects that was seriously planning on expelling whoever came in last place, but it is what it is. Zeraora grabbed the syllabus before heading home.
"Hey (Y/N)! How was your first day, you didn't start any problems did you"? Pixie-Bob teased, catching on to his sister's teasing Zeraora only gave her a nod telling her it was just fine. "That's great, anyway we've sushi and curry for today so take you pick I'm going out for a bit alright, so be good boy", once teasing, this time Zeraora simply rolled his eyes.
After having the dinner of his choice, Zeraora went to his room recollecting the events that happened on his first day.
'Day one at UA and already some crazy stuff down, although Midoriya's quirk still gets to me, especially the effect on his body its almost like he isn't used to using it. If he had the whole and since he's a huge hero fanboy you'd think trained to where he could use it with out so much backlash'.
'Maybe he's a late bloomer, that would explain his lack of control and why he was so hesitant to use it, oh well I'll just drop for now'.

Redshirt: The Journey
Freedom and Order. Peace and War. Love and Hate. Hundreds of young children awaken in a damaged world, on the brink of societal collapse, witnessing the birth of an omnipotent system. Their roles are pre-determined, yet the very fabric of reality lie in their hands. The order of the world shapes them, just how they are free to shape the world in their disparate visions. Each choice, each action, each word, has consequences that reach far beyond their perception. Freedom or Order; ashes in the wind, or the gilded chains. Updates at least every Monday, Thursday, and every other Sarturday, (from 26/11/2021). This is primarily a story exploring what it means to be human, using a lens of a hopefully real-feeling fantasy world. This story is not a power fantasy or a traditional Litrpg , while it has elements of these genres, it will focus on how these tropes would influence real people and possibly Redshirt will break some of these tropes along the way. There will be a variety of different characters and perspectives, some you hate, some you love, and some that will frustrate. Just as all people do. I don't believe there will be anything overly traumatic or explicit, but it's better to be safe than sorry. There will be some heavy topics explored, the characters views do not reflect the authors; however, if there is an issue in how I present/understand these issues please do tell me, and I will try my best to rectify it.
