A new student... It was a bit late into the year, with the class already being finished with the U.A. Sports Festival. Eraserhead told them that the new student was supposed to have Mineta's place but was unfortunately absent for a few weeks. While they won't kick Mineta, the faculty decided to just include the new kid into Class 1-A. Most girls groaned when they heard that Mineta wouldn't get kicked from school.

Shoto normally wouldn't have paid attention to this, but he felt a weird sense of curiosity towards this new student. He didn't know why he felt that way. He doesn't get excited over trivial things like these. But for some reason, he did now.

Running footsteps were heard outside the classroom and the new student quickly ran in, panting slightly from the run but was otherwise smiling.

The second she entered, everyone in class, including Shoto himself, seemed to gasp audibly.

She was extremely cute. She had long light green hair in a braid and seemed to have delicate flowers weaved into the braid. She had twinkling peridot eyes that seemed to shine under the classroom lights.

Everyone in class was rendered speechless by this absolute cutie. Shoto could even hear Mineta's thoughts as the grape boy was salivating over her. The girls even thought she was incredibly cute as she shyly stood at the front of the class.

For some reason, Shoto could feel a twinge of annoyance when he heard the boys, excluding Bakugo, whispering about how cute the new kid was. It was a new feeling for him. Was it... jealousy..? No. It couldn't be. Shoto had never once had feelings for someone. Why was he suddenly feeling as if he needed this girl to be his?

It was a foreign feeling to him, one he didn't recognize. But when he did, his annoyance didn't lessen at the other males all wanting her attention.

Eraserhead stared at the class with his usual tired eyes. He had a stack of papers on the lectern in front of him.

"Well? Introduce yourself." He said to the new girl.
