The halls of U.A. High were anything but normal today.

Instead of the usual morning buzz of students and hero chatter, the school echoed with roars, screeches, and the occasional crash. Bright posters lined the walls:

“U.A. Presents: Bring Your Pet to School Day – Where Quirks Aren’t the Only Things Wild!”

Kirishima was the first to make an entrance, striding in with a baby rhinoceros at his side. Its horn was polished, and it wore a red bandana that matched Kirishima’s hair. “Manliest pet in the world!” he declared as the rhino accidentally bumped into a vending machine with a grunt.

Then came Bakugo, a proud smirk on his face and a massive lion padding beside him like it owned the building. Students scattered like ants. “Anyone touches him, they lose a limb,” Bakugo snapped before anyone could even say hi.

Ochaco entered next, cradling a wide-eyed red panda in her arms. “He’s so soft! I think he gets dizzy when I float him, though,” she laughed, letting the little creature drift in the air with her Quirk.

Todoroki walked in silently, accompanied by a very serious-looking penguin waddling loyally by his side. “He doesn’t do tricks,” Todoroki said flatly, “But he’s cool.”

Perched on Jirou’s shoulder was a sleek snow owl, its eyes scanning the room like a silent judge. “Ugh. This is gonna be chaotic,” she muttered, adjusting her earjacks.

And then—

All eyes turned as Midoriya entered, wide-eyed and nervously gripping the leash of a majestic albino tiger. Its white fur shimmered under the hallway lights, and its blue eyes glowed with quiet strength.

“I-I’ve got him under control! He’s really friendly, I swear!” Deku stammered as the tiger let out a low, regal growl that sent even Bakugo’s lion backing off a step.

Mr. Aizawa trudged in last, sleeping bag over one shoulder. He took one look at the group of pets—and future pro heroes—and sighed deeply. “This is going to be a very long day.”
