Chapter Text
Two years later Denki and Shinsou have grown quite fond of each other. Unfortunately due to them being ‘weird kids’ no one wanted to associate with them, as such the two boys had no other friends. They didn’t mind too much though, they had each other after all.
“Where are you thinking of applying to for highschool?” Denki asked at lunch one day. “You want to be a hero right? So UA? Oh, we could go to UA together!”
“I think I’ll just apply to Tokiwa Highschool,” Shinsou replied a little glumly.
“What?” Denki exclaimed, “But it’s your dream to be a hero!”
“Yeah, but I have a villain’s quirk,”
“Don’t say that! You can still be a hero!”
Shinsou rolled his eyes, “Mmhmm, whatever you say,”
“I’m serious! Plus even if we don’t get into the hero course we could always be in general and try to switch over at the sports festival,” Shinsou smiled as Denki spoke, “Plus imagine me at UA all by myself with no one,” Denki whined.
“Fine, I'll apply for UA,” Shinsou chuckled.
“Yes!” Denki pumped his fist in the air, overjoyed.

A month later Denki was getting ready for the second part of the UA hero course applications. The practical test. Denki had aced the written test and was nervous for the practical test. He’d zoned out when papa was explaining what would happen. So here he was, outside the arena waiting for the test to start.
The buzz of an alarm sounded and the doors opened. People ran in eager to begin. Denki ran in and immediately saw two bots. They were pretty, so Denki assumed that they must be of higher points. They were easy to defeat, seeing as they were robots and Denki’s quirk is electricity.
He kept going on like this, easily defeating robot after robot. Until he heard the buzz of an alarm again.
“Level four robots have just been released,” Papa’s voice sounded over an unseen intercom.
Denki ran until he saw the level four. He saw a spiky haired redhead with a hardening quirk trying to take it down by... himself?
“You can’t take it down by yourself, it’s too big,” Denki said running over to the other boy, “If we team up though I bet we can take it down easily,”
“Great idea, let’s take it down together!” The boy replied.
True to Denki’s word, it was easy to take down together. Once the two boys had defeated it, the alarm blared signaling the end of the test.
“I’m Kaminari,” Denki said to the other boy, as they walked out together.
“I’m Kirishima, hope to see you in the hero course this year!” The boy, Kirishima, responded.
“Yeah, hope to see you too!” Denki replied.

A full month of waiting later and Denki finally gets a letter in the mail from UA. He sits on his floor in front of his bed and rips open the letter.
Dear Denki Kaminari,
It is with our deepest honor that we, the UA staff, accept you into the UA hero course. You showed outstanding courage and teamwork during the exam. You completed the exam with sixty-six villain points and four rescue points, for a total of seventy points overall. You completed the test as the fifth top student overall. You will begin your studies at UA on April eighth in class 1a. We, at UA, congratulate you and can’t wait to see you this year at UA.
Sincerely,
Principal Nedzu
Denki let out a shriek of excitement once done reading.
“What’s wrong kid?” Dad said coming to Denki’s room.
“I did it dad! I got in!” Denki exclaimed, opening his room door and falling into his father’s embrace.
“Knew you could do it, kid,” Dad smiled, tightly embracing his son.
“Something happen?” Papa asked, coming to the scene.
“Denki made the hero course,” Dad grinned as he spoke.
“That’s amazing!” Papa exclaimed, joining in the embrace.
“Did Shinsou get in?” Dad asked, as the three disbanded from the embrace.
“Oh, I’ll ask him right now!” Denki said as he went into his room, closing the door behind him. He got his phone and quickly texted Shinsou, who in turn answered almost as quickly.

“Shinsou got in too! And we’ll be in the same class!” Denki shouted to his parents, excitement clear in his voice.
“Really? That’s amazing,” Papa called back.

Denki waited patiently until it was finally the first day of UA. Denki had moved into the dorms a few days before alongside Shinsou and some of the other kids in class 1a. The dorms were put in place for people who lived far away from UA, like Denki and his parents.
“Shinsou, it’s really happening!” Denki exclaimed, tugging on Shinsou’s arm as the two walked to school together.
“We’ve been in the dorms for a week already,” Shinsou replied, playfully rolling his eyes.
“Yeah, but it’s real now, we’re really going to class now,” Denki shot back.
Shinsou rolled his eyes in mock annoyance, “Alright,”
“Yo, bro!” Kirishima jogged up to the pair.
“Kirishima! You got in!” Denki congratulated his newest friend, before introducing his two friends to each other, “Shinsou this is Kirishima, I met him at the practical exam. Kirishima this is Shinsou, we come from the same middle school,”
“Oh, nice meeting you man,” Kirishima said to Shinsou.
“Uhm, yeah, same back to you... man?” Shinsou replied, not being very good with new people.
The three of them walked to class together, Shinsou quickly warmed up to Kirishima. As it turned out Kirishima was in class 1a as well. And Kirishima was seated behind Denki, what were the odds?
Class today was mainly just seeing where everyone was strength and academically wise. Denki did pretty okay-ish for strength and was in the upper half, but didn’t do too well academically. Shinsou did well in both categories, and Kirishima did the same as Denki.
After the long day the class was permitted back to the dorms. Kirishima had somehow befriended the angriest guy in class, Bakugou. Shinsou and Denki sat in Denki’s dorm after the long day, eating ramen noodles on the floor.
“All Might being our teacher is cool!” Denki spoke, slurping up his noodles.
Shinsou nodded, “He’s a pretty cool guy,”
The two chatted for a while before eventually turning on a movie and falling asleep on top of each other.
