	The auditorium door creaked open just an inch, a single eye peering inside. Despite the rockstar attitude and his willingness to make a spectacle of himself, the gravity of today was not on Kaito. Dressed top to bottom in the required school uniform, but still sporting the mouth covering mask he favored, the musically inclined hero-to-be entered the auditorium with careful hesitance.

	Unlike on the bus, Kaito was not carrying an instrument. Everything he could play had already been donated to the school by his grandfather the very instant news of his grandsons acceptance had caught the doting old mans ears.
	With the school unable to purchase quality instruments or anything with variety, it had fallen to Haruto Recordings to follow through.

	Kaito had spent the morning unloading a van full of the charitable donations himself. One of the seldom used rooms in the school now stocked dozens of instruments. Guitars, brass horns, clarinets, a drum set, even a heavy piano had been brought in. 

	With that all done it was still early for the assembly when Kaito finally made his appearance. His nerves were so wound up tight you could have played them with a violin bow. 
Nervously, Kaito approached the gentleman sitting in the front row and mustered the courage to make the moment happen. 

[color=fff79a]"H-hey! Is, uh.. this spot? Taken?"[/color]

        Since the assembly hadn’t begun yet, Kenji decided to send a quick update text to his mom back home. He figured that out here the reception would be weak up here but he was relieved to see the message go through even on his old dated brick of a phone. 

[b]Hey mom.I made it. Talk 2 u soon.[/b]

        He was so focused on trying to type on the ancient numerical keypad that he almost didn’t smell someone coming until they had asked for the seat next to him. Kenji’s hair-like antennae perked up suddenly and he looked up to see another male student, who was so visibly nervous that Kenji could tell even through the mask that covered his face. But it was a much more welcoming sight to see someone like that than the so far highly confrontational students he had met today. And more amazingly he actually wanted to sit next to the heavy-set kid with the freaky antennae. Kenji half-expected the seats adjacent to him to go empty as usual.

        [color=00a99d]“No, uh. No have a seat, please.”[/color] Kenji invited as he made sure he was not sitting too close to either seat, excited at the prospect of having a normal talk with a classmate and not wanting to make them feel uncomfortable. [color=00a99d]“My name is Kenji.”[/color]
        
        [color=fff79a]"Kaito. It's nice to see another early riser here."[/color] Smiling genuinely, Kaito took a seat on the left of the antennae boy and dropped his simple black messenger bag into the seat next to himself. Settled in nicely, he extended his right hand out. [color=fff79a]"My grandpa always says a handshake is the first brick in a new friendships foundation. What say you?"[/color]
        
	Having been tuning the instruments earlier, playing a few parts from various songs, the moment they touched hands would activate his quirk POWER CHORD. Like a small shot of adrenaline it would boost the recipients body, making them stronger, faster, their mind briefly more alert. Something he always forgot he could do after a good song.

        Kenji saw the outreached hand as a monumental gesture, and people weren’t usually so quick to propose being friends with a bug. He had a big toothy smile as he reached his own hand out to complete the greeting. 

        [color=00a99d]“I say your grandpa sounds like a wise ma- WOAH!”[/color] Kenji blurted suddenly as his armored hand met Kaito’s. Suddenly, he felt like he could take on the world. It was as if he had never walked all that way to the academy at all and had instead parachuted in from low earth orbit and just had six cups of coffee. The sudden strength boost forced Kenji to loosen his grip and let go for fear of crushing Kaito’s hand in shock. And he could swear that he could SMELL a plant walk into the room just then. His head snapped towards the door to see that he was RIGHT, but he turned back to Kaito promptly. [color=00a99d]“What just happened?! I feel amazing!”[/color] Kenji sputtered as he tried to lower his voice during this moment of sudden enigmatic invigoration.
        
        [color=fff79a]"O-oh! Sorry! My Quirk, Power Chord. I'm a support booster type and i must have still held a charge from earlier! Sorry! J-just.. stay calm. Your physical strengths have been temporarily amplified but it'll wear off."[/color] Of all the stupid things he could have done he just had to go and supercharge a classmate again. There wouldn't be anything to worry about since it wore off quickly but for now this boy likely had 2x his normal strengths.
        
	[color=fff79a]"Try to be careful with yourself. Big guy like you could probably turn one of these chairs into a scrap metal ball while you're boosted. Sorry!"[/color]

	[color=00a99d]“No no don’t apologize. That’s an amazing quirk! I feel so renewed now, actually, thank you.”[/color] Kenji buzzed in gratitude, even if he didn’t mean to the sudden boost was practically life-giving after the long trip. He just hoped that it didn’t work like caffeine and cause him to crash when it did wear off.  [color=00a99d]“My quirk is uh-- less so.”[/color] Kenji admitted finally, not quite eager to explain that he was basically just a giant bug. [color=00a99d]“I guess, the easiest way I’d explain it, is that I have armored skin and enhanced strength. I can normally lift about one thousand pounds, but right now I feel like I could lift a lot more. Also, those hairs on the top of my head that keep moving around aren't actually hair and are more like a second nose. They’re really sensitive though...”[/color] he trailed off after catching himself in a minor rant.

	He stopped himself before he went any further with it, and he became still save for the twitching hairs scanning the room like they had a mind of their own. He managed an apologetic grin and laughed at himself. 

[color=00a99d]“Sorry, I got a bit carried away there.”[/color]

	[color=fff79a]"No need to be sorry, I think your quirk sounds awesome! With a heavy lifter around to boost I think you and me should get on famously. I'll even let you join my band when we get going. Might be getting ahead of myself here but, damnit, this is so exciting!"[/color] Kaito's eyes were bright and manic with his barely contained excitement. No doubt beneath his face mask there was a broad smile across his features. [color=fff79a]"Lets work hard to become pros! You with me?"[/color]

The excitement was shared equally between them with the quickly forming bond and the apparent synergy of their quirks. Kenji nodded and gripped the sides of his chair to contain himself, inadvertently causing the metal to bend in his grip to leave a perfect hand print on each side. His antennae perked up as if they too were excited for what was to come. 

[color=00a99d]"Yeah. We'll be top heroes one day, I'm sure of it."[/color] Kenji promised with an ear to ear grin.

	Then, another student approached Kenji and quickly took the seat next to him and opposite of Kaito. Kenji turned to greet her politely, though with the accidental boost from Kaito still active he became very hyper aware of her smell. His antennae flicked about and he could tell that she was freshly showered, but there was a lingering stench that he couldn't quite place. Maybe she had spilled some food on her belongings a few days ago and the residue had gone sour, and maybe no one else could tell but him, but it was certainly there. Still, he wouldn't be improper and smiled at her through his discomfort. 

	[color=00a99d]"H-hi, I'm Ito Kenji. Pleasure to make your acquaintance."[/color]

[hider=tl;dr]Kenji quickly forms a bond with Kaito through shared excitement for the year ahead and an accidental use of Kaito's quirk. Soon after, Haruishi Mari sits next to Kaito and greets him. Though her odd scent makes him uncomfortable he politely introduces himself anyway.[/hider]
