Chapter Text
UA High is known to be the #1 school in Japan for students that want to become heroes & heroines. Getting into this school is no easy task. Even though there are a few ways of getting accepted, you have to pass certain tests. Every year there are applicants that get accepted and rejected, but once you’re in its not so stressful anymore. UA High not only has the best security to keep students safe, but it’s also busy. Students always stick to their schedules and kept on their toes.
The day at UA started out like any other day. Students would attend their classes and prepare for a quiz or training in the gym. By lunchtime, Izuku met up with his classmates and they all stood in line to get their food. Today they were serving five different lunch specials. It was: Udon w/ fresh vegetables, Tempra w/ rice and fresh vegetables, Tonkatsu w/rice and choice of veggies or fruit, Unagi w/ rice, and Yakitori w/ grilled vegetables. Everyone in class 1-A thought it all looked so good, but they were only allowed to choose one. After waiting in line and thinking about what they wanted, Izuku picked Udon, Katsuki picked Yakitori, Denki & Kirishima picked Tonkatsu, and the girls decided to get the same special. They got Tonkatsu but picked different sides that went with it. Everyone else picked what they wanted. Shoto got his usual. He didn’t bother with the specials. Once Izuku and his classmates found a table (or two), they sat down and began to eat.
“Hey, this is really good,” said Izuku
“Not as good as the Yakitori you damn nerd,” said Katsuki
“Bakugo, you love Yakitori,” said Denki
“You got a problem with that Pikachu?” he snapped
“No. I just think it’s good to try different things once in a while.”
“Why don’t you tell that to Icy Hot? He always eats the same old damn thing!”
“Hey, why didn’t you want to try the specials today Todoroki?” asked Kirishima
“I don’t care for them. Besides, I like soba the best,” he replied
“You can’t live off of soba noodles Icy Hot,” said Katsuki
“Hey if he doesn’t want to try the specials, he doesn’t have to,” spoke up Momo
“Nobody asked you!” snapped Katsuki
“Just shut up and eat your food.”
“Whatever.”
Momo looked at Shoto and gave him a smile. He smiled back and then gave a surprised look. Underneath the table, Momo had taken off her shoe, wrapped her foot around Shoto’s ankle, and slightly rubbed it. She likes to play footsies with him when she gets the chance. Shoto smiled and continued to eat his soba. Unbeknown to the group, Shoto and Momo are in a secret relationship. They plan to tell their friends when the time was right. As for the others, Izuku & Ochako got together during the summer break, Kirishima & Mina got together before the new school year started, and Denki & Kyoka got together near the beginning of the year. Almost all the students at UA knew about the happy couples (as well as other couples from different classes), but carried on like it wasn’t anything new. As Ochako ate, she looked over at Izuku. It took a moment for him to notice that she was staring at him. He slurped an udon noodle.
“What’s wrong?” asked Izuku
“You have something on your face,” said Ochako
“I do, where?”
“Here.”
Ochako then leaned in and gave Izuku a kiss on the cheek. He blushed as Katsuki scoffed in disgust.
“Excuse me Uraraka, that’s not allowed at school!” said Iida
“Sorry,” she replied
“Just remember the rules.”
“Fun police geek,” muttered Kyoka under her breath
“What was that?” asked Iida
“Nothing,” she replied
Everyone continued to chat and enjoy their meals. Near the end of the day, all students went back to their dorms. Class 1-A went about their business, helped prepare dinner, and cleaned up the mess when they were done. Afterwards, everyone went about their daily routines. Some classmates visited others in their dorm rooms, some went to bed, and others just relaxed in the lounge. Izuku was having a movie night with Ochako in his dorm room. Denki, Kyoka, Kirishima, & Mina had joined them. The room wasn’t very big so it kind of felt cramped. Izuku & Ochako took the bed while the others sat on the floor. They were watching “Spirited Away” as they all stuffed their faces with popcorn. Izuku and Ochako fed each other popcorn as they cuddled.
“I love this movie,” said Mina
“Ooh, here comes the best part!” said Denki
“Shh!” shushed Kyoka
Once the movie was over, everyone cleaned up the popcorn mess and then decided to do a movie night in Kirishima’s room next week.
“How does “Hot Fuzz” sound to you guys?” asked Kirishima
“Sounds good,” said Denki
“Oh you and your foreign action movies,” said Mina
“Hey I’ve never seen it. Sounds interesting,” said Izuku
“You’ll have to read subtitles though since it was never dubbed in Japanese,” said Kyoka
“That’s fine with me.”
“I guess it’s settled then. We’ll watch “Hot Fuzz” in my room next week,” said Kirishima
“I’ll bring the snacks,” said Izuku
Everyone then started wishing each other goodnight. As Kirishima, Mina, Denki, & Kyoka were leaving, Izuku grabbed Ochako’s hand. This surprised her at first, but when she looked at him, she recognized that look. He didn’t want her to leave yet. She stepped back inside as he closed the door quietly.
“Izuku it’s getting late. I need to get back to my room,” said Ochako
“I know, but please stay for a few more minutes,” he replied
“Okay, but only for a few minutes.”
They stood there staring at each other for a few moments, and then Izuku wrapped his arms around Ochako slowly. He then leaned in and locked lips with hers. Ochako wrapped her arms around Izuku as they kissed. They leaned against the door. Their kissing soon turned into French kissing. Izuku loved it when he locked tongues with Ochako. Soon they pulled away from each other. They both smiled and blushed.
“I love you,” said Izuku
“I love you too,” said Ochako
“Hey, are you feeling okay?”
“What do you mean?”
“You look a little pale.”
“Well I am feeling more tired than usual lately, but that could have been from the extra workouts I’ve been doing this week.”
“Don’t overwork yourself.”
“Hey, don’t worry about me. I’m fine.”
Ochako then leaned in and locked lips with Izuku. They made out for a few more minutes before saying goodnight. Izuku watched as Ochako disappeared down the hall and towards the elevator. Izuku closed his door and quickly changed into his pajamas. He flopped on the bed and got comfortable. Soon, he drifted off to sleep.
The next morning Izuku woke up to the sunshine shining through his window. He stretched, yawned, got up, and ready as usual. He soon met up with Katsuki and Shoto. When they walked in the lounge, they noticed something was different. There were only a few students up, but most of them still haven’t shown up.
“Hey, where the hell is everybody?” asked Katsuki
“That’s what I like to know,” said Tsuyu
“This is very peculiar,” said Mineta
“No one is preparing breakfast either,” said Iida
“Was there a special event we forgot about?” asked Tokoyami
“I don’t think so. I would have remembered if something was going on today,” said Izuku
“This isn’t like our class,” said Iida
“I think we should go check on them,” said Shoto
“Good idea,” said Izuku
Everyone spread out and went to check on their classmates. Izuku knew who he was going to check on first. He made his way to the elevator and once he reached the floor, he rushed to Ochako’s room. He knocked and waited. There was no response. That was odd. He knocked again, but louder. There was still no response.
“Uraraka it’s me! I’m going to come in okay?” said Izuku
He turned the knob and opened the door. Once he stepped in, his eyes widened as he froze in fear. Lying on the floor was Ochako and it looked like she had got sick a few times (seeing the waste basket not far from her). Izuku quickly rushed over to her side. He took her in his arms and tried to wake her, but it didn’t do any good. She didn’t look well at all and was unconscious. Izuku touched her forehead and his eyes widened.
“You’re burning up!” he said worriedly
Izuku slowly picked up Ochako and carried her out of the room. The only thing he could think of was getting her to Recovery Girl. Izuku was trying hard not to panic. Meanwhile, the others went to check on their classmates and were shocked to see them sick in bed. Some of them were awake and others weren’t. They were experiencing symptoms of nausea, fever, chills, stomach cramps, pain in the abdomen, etc.
Minutes later, Iida met up with the others in the hallway. They all had concerned looks on their faces.
“What is going on? Why is everyone suddenly getting sick?” asked Tsuyu
“I don’t know, but we need to get Recovery Girl immediately,” said Iida
“Whatever this is, I hope it’s not contagious,” said Katsuki
“Well it’s very fortunate that none of us got sick,” said Tokoyami
“Where’s Deku?” asked Mineta
“I haven’t seen him, but let’s hurry and get Recovery Girl,” said Shoto
As they made their way to the elevator, they saw Izuku trying to push the elevator button with his foot and were shocked to see Ochako in his arms. They quickly rushed over.
“Hey nerd, what are you doing with Uraraka?” asked Katsuki
“I need to get her to Recovery Girl immediately! She’s unresponsive and burning up,” replied Izuku
“You shouldn’t have taken her from her room,” said Iida
“She was on the floor! I couldn’t just leave her there!” snapped Izuku
“Oh no, she looks terrible,” said Tsuyu
“Come on, let’s get Uraraka to Recovery Girl and report to Mr. Aizawa about the others,” said Tokoyami
Everyone quickly got into the elevator and the doors closed. It felt like it was taking forever for the elevator to reach the main floor. Once they reached the main floor, they quickly made their way to the lounge. When they arrived, they were surprised to see their homeroom teacher Mr. Aizawa and All Might. They had concerned looks on their faces and quickly rushed over to the students.
“Are you guys okay?” asked All Might
“We’re fine except most of the class fell ill,” said Iida
“Oh no, I was afraid of that.”
“What’s wrong with Uraraka?” asked Aizawa
“Sir, I found her on the floor in her room. She’s unresponsive and burning up. We were going to take her to Recovery Girl,” said Izuku
“That wouldn’t have done you any good.”
“What do you mean?”
“Recovery Girl is already swarmed with other students that fell ill. She and other staff members are trying to control the situation right now.”
“Okay, what the hell is going on?” demanded Katsuki
“Most of the students on campus have suddenly fallen ill including this class and we still don’t know the cause,” said All Might
“WHAT!” shrieked Mineta
“What do we do sir?” asked Iida
“All of you go to your rooms and gather your personal belongings. You’ll be evacuated from the dorms and placed with the other students that haven’t been affected,” said Aizawa
“What about Uraraka?” asked Izuku
“Give her to me.”
Aizawa took her from Izuku’s arms and carried her to the couch. Izuku was still concerned about her. He tried to follow Aizawa, but All Might stopped him.
“Isn’t there anything I can do? I want to help,” said Izuku
“You can help by doing as you’re told. You all have 10 minutes to get your things together. All Might then will escort you to the other students,” said Aizawa
“Don’t worry young Midoriya, we’ll take good care of Uraraka as well as the rest of the class. You better get going,” said All Might
Everyone nodded and headed toward their dorm rooms. They made haste by getting the belongings they needed or thought was important. Within 7 minutes, everyone was back in the lounge and met up with All Might.
“Alright, let’s go,” said All Might
As they left, Izuku looked back and saw Aizawa tending to Uraraka. He had put a cloth over her forehead to try and bring down the fever.
“Young Midoriya, eyes forward,” said All Might
“Sorry sir,” he replied
“It’s going to be okay. You’ll see,” whispered Iida
They all walked outside the dorms and followed All Might in a single file line. He led them to one of the training facilities. All Might opened the door and let Izuku & the others inside. They saw a big group of students inside. Some of them were sitting on bleachers while others stood around and chatted. None of them seemed to be in a happy mood and few looked terrified.
“Alright, stay here and don’t leave this facility. Principal Nezu and the rest of us will meet up with all of you soon. Go talk amongst yourselves or even interact with the other students,” said All Might
Izuku and the others nodded. All Might then left closing the door behind him. Izuku wasn’t sure what to think or even do. After a few moments, he and the others decided to sit on the bleachers.
“How could this have happened? Everyone in our class was fine yesterday,” said Izuku
“I know. This doesn’t make any sense,” said Shoto
“You don’t think the villains had any thing to do with this do you?” asked Tokoyami
“I’m sure a lot of us are wondering that, but I doubt it,” said Katsuki
“Why?” asked Iida
“Well for one thing, UA has the highest security system in Japan. So if a villain was on campus, don’t you think we would have known about it?” asked Katsuki
“Good point,” said Mineta
Two hours have passed since the students have been evacuated from their dorms. Principal Nezu, All Might, Aizawa, and a few other staff members finally entered the facility and approached the students.
“May I have your attention please?” spoke up Nezu
“Be quiet!” snapped Aizawa
Everyone grew quiet as Aizawa activated his quirk to get the entire student’s attention. All eyes were on Principal Nezu and teachers.
“Now I’m sure you’re aware why you have been brought here. I know you all are concerned for your classmates, but rest assured they’re being taken care of right now. As of this minute, UA High is under quarantine,” announced Nezu
Izuku’s eyes widened as some of the students started to panic and began to uproar. Aizawa activated his quirk once again to quiet down the students.
“I know this situation is scary, but please try to stay calm. Right now we still don’t know what the cause is. About 75% of the students here have fallen ill along with a few staff members,” said All Might
“Do any of you have any questions?” asked Nezu
A few students have raised their hands and Principal Nezu decided to answer one at a time.
“Is it possible that villains are behind this?” a student asked
“Excellent question, but the answer is no. We have gone through our security footage and saw nothing out of the ordinary. We even searched the campus for any signs of a break in but found nothing. You can all rest easy knowing villains are not involved with this situation,” replied Nezu
“What about our classes?” asked another student
“All classes and hero courses are cancelled until further notice,” said Nezu
“Sir if we can’t return to our dorms, where are we supposed to stay?” asked Iida
“You will be sent home soon, but everyone here will be getting a checkup first and be asked a few questions as well,” said Nezu
A few more questions were answered until Principal Nezu made the decision to stop. All the students in the facility were asked to wait a bit longer, but while they waited they could continue to talk among themselves. As Principal Nezu, All Might, Aizawa, and other staff members left, the students went about their business. Shoto and the others sat back down on the bleachers. They talked for a while and noticed Izuku wasn’t with their group. They looked around and saw him hunched over with his face buried in his hands.
“Izuku, what’s the matter?” asked Mineta
“I don’t understand how Uraraka and the rest of the class got sick. This is confusing,” he replied
“I know it doesn’t make any sense, but everyone is being taken care of with the best treatment UA has to offer,” said Iida
“I know they’re being cared for, but I still can’t help but worry especially for Uraraka,” said Izuku
“It must have been scary finding her like that. I was also scared finding our classmates ill. Poor Momo was also very sick,” said Shoto
“I just wish there was a way we could help,” said Tokoyami
“I know how you all feel, but the best thing to do is to leave it to Principal Nezu and our teachers,” said Iida
“I just hope they can figure out what caused all this,” said Izuku
