CHAPTER START---
"So, cripple boy, Izuku Midoriya, why the fuck are you still here?" Horizon asks, earning shocked and angry looks from most of the class.
"U-uh, well," Izuku's voice is barely audible. "Mr. Aizawa said that he still needs to explain the syl---"
"At UA," Horizon explains. "Why are you still here at UA and not expelled, like you should be, well?"
Bakugo smiles so hard at those words, leaning forward and almost growling out, "yeah, answer the question Deku!"
"Hey stop!" Uraraka stands up and yells, "you can't just go around bullying people like th---"
"Heroes need to be able to stand up for themselves," Horizon says bluntly. "Let him talk, and honestly, you're in the same boat. How the fuck do you get your foot stuck under a rock and need saving, when your Quirk is literally to make things weightless, well?"
Uraraka freezes, and Horizon tilts his head, as if asking her to respond. "W-well my Quirk has a limit that---"
"Excuses that I'm sure the people you fail to save will appreciate at their funerals, right?" he asks, and Uraraka feels sick to her stomach. "Still not at bad as him," her gestures to Izuku, now covered in a thin sheen of sweat. "You plan to answer the question?"
Uraraka silently takes her seat, head hanging in shame, and after a few moments, Izuku finally finds a voice.
"Mr Aizawa said he wasn't serious about expelling anyone," he says in a shaky voice.
Horizon chuckles, "right, the guy who is our homeroom teacher because he expelled all of what would have been class 2A on their first day...was kidding, really?"
The entire class breaks into murmurs at that, those at the lower end of the list realizing how close they were to really going home.
Iida stands up and points to Horizon, "why are you bullying our classmate, are you really so insistent on him going home?!"
"It's not bullying, it's a reality check," Horizon says, causing everyone to look at him all confused. "Deku -nice name by the way- breaks his body every time he uses his Quirk, contrary to what you morons think, Recovery Girl doesn't fully heal anything, she stimulates the cells of your body, essentially cutting your lifespan to accelerate the healing time, and it doesn't properly fix things like nerve damage."
Deku looks down at his hand, a mortified expression on his face. "Wh---"
"Meaning DEKU, only has about, three or four more chances before he becomes a fucking cripple, or he just dies, his pathetic level of Quirk mastery doesn't deserve to be here, he can't even save himself..." Horizon says, but his true thoughts were so much different.
Everyone in the room casts a wary look at Deku, all horrified at the damage he really takes to use his Quirk.
"But I...I want to be a hero too," Deku declares, still sounding so unsure of himself.
"Sir, we have a serious situation here!" Iida says, causing Aizawa to stop and look at him. "Horizon just verbally abused Izuku, I believe his behavior is unheroic and should be reprimanded," he insists.
Aizawa gives him a slow blink and sighs, looking between Horizon who was still playing on his phone, and Deku who was trying to wipe his tears. "Did he hit him?"
"W-what?" Iida asks.
"Did. He. Hit. Him."
"Uh, no sir," Iida says.
"Then get to your seats and start taking notes, I'm not repeating myself, and I'd like to make this quick to take a nap..." Aizawa turns his back to the class and begins writing on the board.
Everyone looks mortified at his non-reaction, and Iida casts an angry glare at Horizon, who actually responds. Letting go of his phone for a moment to give Iida the middle finger, earning more grumbles from his classmates.
With a final pat on the shoulder Iida and Uraraka return to their seats, both still occasionally casting glares back at Horizon, Momo and Tokoyami felt disgusted by having to be desk neighbors with him, but he kept playing on his phone until Aizawa began talking.
Opening his book and placing a pen on it, but just leaning back and listening, not writing at all.
"Listen up," Aizawa says in a tired voice, he can feel the animosity between everyone and Horizon but ignores it. "You can call me Aizawa or Eraser Head, I don't really care which, at UA your homeroom teacher decides pretty much everything, we stay with you from day one until graduation, then we get a new class. As you all know the Hero course has a six-day school week, with Sundays off. Before lunch is the regular classes but after lunch is hero classes, the procedure to use the facilities are in the handbook, if you have any questions they should also be in there or you can log in to the school website and search for an answer, be sure to do both those things before asking me..."
Aizawa goes on for almost ten minutes, occasionally glancing over to Horizon, noticing his pen and book hadn't moved once. The boy spent the entire explanation staring out the window at the massive forest outside while all his classmates had their heads down diligently writing.
Eraser shakes his head, 'thinks he's too cool for UA...people like that never last,' he thinks to himself. Something he's seen many times before.
"And finally," Eraser says. "This is your homeroom, so unless you need to use other facilities for a lesson your teachers will be coming here to have classes. Keep it clean and tidy, or there will be consequences..." most of the class shudders nervously at that, now knowing that he really does expel students. "Alright, that's all," Eraser says and immediately begins walking toward the door. "Be sure to be ready for your first real day tomorrow..."
While everyone breaks into chatter, excited about finally getting into their dream school, packing their books away in their bags. Horizon places his book and pencil case in his desk and gets up, pushing in his chair and scrolling through a few recipes, deciding what to cook for dinner.
A few people notice something strange about him, finally spotting the odd logo on the back of his blazer. Some faces warp in disgust, others in jealousy, all because he somehow got away with defacing the uniform of their prestigious school.
But a few others were already annoyed, believing to better understand him.
Seeing him walk away with his phone in his hand, and his other hand in his pocket, no bookbag at all, only coming with a single notebook in fact.
Almost everyone rolled their eyes, 'I thought UA wouldn't have those cliche bad boy types,' they thought.
But everyone could agree, even Bakugo, they did not like Horizon, either for how he spoke to their classmates, or how he blatantly looked down on them...
