[MHCISQD] Chapter 417: New Semester and Homeroom Teacher

After the initial appearance of the reincarnators, there was a period of calm, with no second wave of reincarnators showing up.

Shocker and the League of Villains also entered their respective hidden modes.

On Shocker's side, they had gathered enough samples and were conducting a series of experiments, modifying Kaijin and Shocker Combatmen, and working on the creation of Kamen Rider 4. All of this would take some time.

As for the League of Villains, it was primarily due to All For One.

After the battle of Kamino, while All For One had survived and his injuries were slowly healing, his power had diminished compared to before the battle.

During these months, All For One had been quietly amassing and regaining strength while also providing guidance to Shigaraki.

Shigaraki had been following All For One's directives, including missions like the ambush on Nighteye and Togata as well as a confrontation in an abandoned warehouse, all arranged by All For One.

After completing these tasks, Shigaraki obediently remained at the base, undergoing intensive training. He knew that his current strength might not be enough to defeat Renault, the student who had become one of the most formidable opponents, even All Might had to step aside.

On the hero side, they didn't sit idly either.

A group of heroes led by Endeavor spent two months capturing two Shocker bases and thwarting several League of Villains' operations, leading to some intense battles where almost every Pro Hero sustained injuries. Nevertheless, the results were promising, and they helped keep the villains at bay.

In that situation, U.A. High School was about to start a new semester.

Early in the morning, Mikoto, dressed in U.A.'s uniform, waited at the station for Mei, who was coming to school alone. The two of them would take the bus to school together.

"Mei, after today, we're probably going to be staying in the dorms. Did you send your luggage to the school?" Mikoto asked.

"Yes, I did." replied Mei, who was sitting beside Mikoto. She seemed a bit reserved, unused to taking public transportation. "I hadn't thought about all this before, but when I had to pack my stuff in a rush, I almost brought too much. Fortunately, I managed to prepare only the essentials in the end."

"Hehehe, I was pretty much the same. I wanted to bring so much stuff." said Mikoto with an expectant smile. "Living in U.A.'s dormitory should be nice. The environment is excellent. I just hope the dorm we'll be in is one that the third-grade students from the previous year vacated."

"I know something about that..." Mei replied after some thought. "According to my father, the school demolished all the previous third-grade dormitories and rebuilt them for a fresh start in the new semester."

Mikoto was surprised to hear this. "They... rebuilt them?"

"Yes, but with Cementoss-sensei on board, constructing a student dormitory only takes one or two days."

"That makes sense."

Next, as two people waited for the bus to reach its destination, they chatted about their experiences as new students. Up to this point, they still didn't know what their future schoolmates at U.A. would be like.

Regarding this matter, Mikoto had asked Renault to inquire with Aizawa, but he had given a 'confidential' response in the end.

15 minutes later, the bus arrived at the station near the school.

Mikoto and Mei, along with several other U.A. freshmen on the bus, disembarked one after the other and stepped through the gates of U.A.

Upon entering, Mikoto's face lit up with joy. "Hmm, it feels completely different from the previous times I visited U.A."

Mei nodded in agreement. The first time she came to U.A. was to escape danger, and her subsequent visits were merely as a guest and for exams. But today, her status had undergone a complete change as she officially became a student of U.A.

Today marked the first day of the school year, and the school had arranged a special opening ceremony, unlike previous years. After students went to their respective classrooms, they were to head straight to the auditorium.

Class 1-A of the Hero Department, where these two girls belonged.

As they entered the classroom, they noticed that many students had already arrived. However, it was their first time meeting, so they exchanged mere greetings.

After looking around, Mikoto whispered to Mei, "There are fewer girls in this class, and with us, there are only five."

"Um, the student who ranked third in the entrance exam also isn't in this class. Probably in Class B." Mei said while observing the surroundings.

"Likely, someone must have performed better in the entrance exam and bumped him out." Mikoto added thoughtfully.

Soon, all 20 students in the class were present, and the number of girls increased to seven.

With everyone gathered, a short figure entered the room.

Mikoto couldn't hide her surprise as she watched the cute white-haired girl with a nun outfit step up to the podium.

"No way?"

"Ahem!" After letting out a cute cough, the white-haired girl turned to everyone and said, "Hello, everyone. I'm your homeroom teacher for Class A, Theresa Apocalypse, and for the next three years, I'll be teaching you how to become a qualified Pro Hero."

Pausing for a moment, her expression changed abruptly. She shot a piercing glare at a male student in the front left, raised her right hand, and conjured a golden spear that impaled his desk, startling everyone.

"Don't mutter while I'm speaking! And for the record, I'm already an adult! If you dare to bring up your teacher's age again, you'll be running 200 laps around the P.E. ground! Now, gather up and head to the auditorium!"

This display left everyone with no doubts about respecting this teacher.

On the way to the auditorium, Mikoto, walking at the end of the line, tried to keep her voice low. "Mei, what's that teacher's Quirk?"

Mei shook her head. "I don't know, but it seems to be energy-based."

"I think so too." Mikoto mused as she watched the petite teacher who seemed, in her eyes, remarkably young. "This teacher must be new; I've never seen her before."

Simultaneously, Mikoto cast a glance at the other white-haired girl in her class, who appeared to bear a striking resemblance to their new teacher.
