Hiroki was feeling pretty low at the moment. First he tried to talk to the other kid in the hall, but he stayed pretty quiet. It must have been his size, it always was. Next, the purple haired girl with glasses bursted out of the class and seemed like she was scared when she spoke to them. Again, his size probably scared her immensely. 

"Uh thanks?" Hiroki said to her, but she just was already gone. 

More wind out of his sails. Hiroki turned to go to the cafeteria, but totally forgot he had the two buckets in his hands. 

"Oh right. I still have these. Must have gotten accustomed to the weight." Hiroki shrugged as walked to the nearest sink. After pouring the water out, returning the buckets to the outside of the class, Hiroki walked himself down to the cafeteria.

After getting two orders of egg salad sandwiches, two miso soups, a large pocari sweat, and a curry don. Luckily the lunch staff took some pity on his and discounted his food. The muscle size told them that he needed to eat a lot to maintain his body. They only thing that bothered him was the amount of looks he got when he made his way to the table. This type of stuff always put him on edge. It made him get aggravated and he didn't have the best attitude.

"Just ignore it… just ignore it." He told himself as he clenched his fist around the pocari bottle.

After eating more of his lunch, he seen a dude rush back into the lunchroom like something was bothering him. He was tired of being alone anyway, so he got up and walked over.

"Hey, everything alright? You look like something eating you."


“Ummm sir who are you and you know this is the student cafeteria. The teachers lounge is over there”

Andrew looks up at the masculine tall looking guy. He starts sizing him up and realize that he was one of the late students that was outside. 

“Ummmm I’m good just a little thrown off my game a bit. I’m Andrew by the way. You probably didn’t know cause you were late to class.”

Andrew sat down at the table and proceeded to play Pokémon GO.

“So you gonna just stand there or you gonna seat down. And what’s your name?”


Hiroki let out a hearty laugh. That was the first time someone in the school mistook him for an adult. He held his abs as he laughed.

"Haha! That's a good one."He wiped a tear from his eye."I can understand the mistake."

It was nice to actually talk to another student for once. Like on equal footing. He enjoyed it. Hiroki rubbed the back of his head at the late comment. Andrew was totally right after all. It took him a second to realize he hadn't say and he wasn't sure if he was allowed to, so he waited. Looking awkward as the tension started to build in the air.

"Oh uh Right." He stammered as he sat down in front of his classmate. "My name is Hiroki Yawaraka. I'm a support class hero. Nice to meet you."

“Hiroki huh...... okay that’s cool. You’re a support??? I mean I guess. What does your quirk do?”

This was going great. He was almost excited by the conversation, but he had his poker face on. "I can endure a lot of damage and use myself as a shield. The only thing is I can make my muscles soft to the touch when protecting someone else." He was very serious when he spoke. Trying to make sure this guy wouldn't laugh."Almost pillow-like."

“So you’re like a rubber shield? Can you redirect the momentum back at your opponent? Is there a drawback?” Andrew got curious about it cause he knows one day he wants to be the head of a hero Agency and he could be his personal sidekick.

This was the most constructive conversation he's had for a while. 

"Not yet, but I feel like that is something that may come down the line." Hiroki smiled like he may have made a friend. "What about you? Pokemon go can't be your quirk, right?"

“You got jokes I see lol” This is the first since Andrew got to UA that he actually got a laugh.

“Well my quirk is called Noir. Basically I can manipulate shadows and darkness to my will.” Andrew shows Hiroki how he uses his powers. Hiroki’s face glowed in excitement. 

“Well that’s most of what I can do in the day. When it’s dark outside my quirk goes crazy and I can let loose my full potential.”

"I mean." Hiroki joked back. This was a good feeling. 

"Wow, that's...really cool." He said with great interest. Andrew definitely had her attention.

When Andrew started, Hiroki's eyes got big as he watched. It wasn't anything he's seen before.

"Man, remind me to never look for you in a dark alley." He laughed again.

“I mean as long as you’re not a villain you’ll be okay.” Both of them laugh as Hiroki goes to take a bite of his sandwich while Andrew with the most excitement in his voice just lets out a giant “YES FINALLY!!!!!!” The lunchroom jumps up and looks at where Andrew and Hiroki are seating.

“😅😅😅 sorry hahahahaha”
Hiroki look at him like what happened. “Oh I caught an armored Mewtwo.” 😁😁😁
