Chapter 1
Chapter Text
Japan, Hero Academy, Room Class-1A:
The classroom for class-1A was rowdy as usual with kids talking in multiple tight nit groups. Nothing big or major, just the regular kind of stuff like discussing TV shows, new training ideas, news about whats going on with heroes, etc.
"So guys, did you ever think about changing up your costumes a bit? I thought I should change mine up a bit. Maybe add some more colors." Stated Mina as she talked in her group with several of the other girls in the class.
"I understand what you mean, Mina. But I think in the grand scheme of things, you should keep it simple. Otherwise it'll look like your begging for attention." Stated Tsuyu in a thoughtful manner.
"Na! No way! Forget that! Be as bright and colorful as you want girl! Who knows? You'll probably make all the villains jealous and be an even more popular hero!" Stated the energetic Tooru.
"So, Bakubro! Wanna train with me and help me strengthen unbreakable even more? I can feel it getting stronger every time I train, so what do ya say Bakubro?" Asked Kirishima with a smile as Bakugou glared at Kirishima.
"IN YOUR DREAMS WEIRD HAIR! AND FOR THE LAST GODDAMNED TIME, STOP CALLING ME BAKUBRO OR I'LL BLOW YOUR ASS TO THE MOON!" Roared Bakugou furiously.
"Let's make a deal, I'll stop calling you Bakubro if you help me train." Replied Kirishima.
"If I'll shut you up then fine!" Growled Bakugou as he turned away from Kirishima. As Kirishima simply pumped his fist into the air and cheered "Awesome!"
"Can you two please keep it down? It'd like to eat my soba in peace." Stated Tordoroki calmly as he ate his soba quietly.
"How are your guys training going? Getting any better?" Asked Izuku as Uraraka nodded with glee and Iida gave a stiff quick nod.
"Yeah! With all the training I done, I can now make objects float in zero gravity and make it last five more minutes before it wears off and I start vomiting!" Stated Uraraka with a smile.
"Yes! Indeed! My training allowed me to run faster then before and increased my reaction time!" Stated Iida as he pushed the rim of his glasses with his finger.
"Yeah, me too. The training I do every day helps push me to the top." Stated Izuku with his fist clenched on his chest with a big smile on his face.
"So this female hero is patrolling the beach as usual, until this MASSIVE wave hit her and knocked off her suit!" Stated Sero in a suspenseful tone as Mineta and Kaminari were both listening intensely.
"What happened next!? You gotta tell us!" Begged Mineta as he started to drool.
"Tell us every aspect! No matter how small or dirty it may be!" Stated Kaminari as Sero leaned in to the two boys. As if he was going to tell them the greatest secret in the universe.
"This part you'll remember with the rest of your lives! She-" But before Sero could finish, the door slammed open as Mr. Aizawa walked in with a deathly expression as always, as he marched to his seat.
"Okay everyone, stop talking and listen up!" Stated Aizawa as everyone did what they were told and stopped talking, including Sero as Kaminari and Mineta stared at him with shock.
"What happened next!? You gotta tell us!" Whispered Mineta.
"Yeah man! You can't just hold out on us like that!" Whispered Kaminari.
"Sorry guys, I already got several detentions. I can't afford any more." Stated Sero as Mineta and Kaminari looked at their fellow student with saddened and shocked expressions.
"Hey! Stop talking or I'll place all three of you in detention! Understand?" Asked Aizawa as Sero, Mineta, and Kaminari looked at their teacher and nodded in fear.
"Good. Now that your all done running your mouths, I have an announcement to make. We're going to have a special guest come in from America to study abroad and see how we do things here. He's in the abroad studies program at his school and majoring in the hero course."
'Woah, a new student? From America?' Questioned the entire class silently in unity.
"A student from America? Cool! I hope he has an awesome quark!" Stated Kirishima happily.
"Ohhh! I hope he's cute!" Stated Tooru with glee.
"Me too!" Added Mina.
"Why couldn't it have been a girl!?" Groaned Mineta.
"Maybe he will like the dark as much as I do." Commented Tokoyami.
"Hopefully he's a bit more organized then all the other students of 1A." Stated Iida as he pushed the rim of his glasses.
"I don't care. As long as he's civil. And also perhaps likes soba." Stated Todoroki calmly.
"I gotta agree with Todoroki, I just hope he's nice." Commented Uraraka.
"Same here. I hope he's also into heroes as much as I am." Commented Izuku.
"Maybe he could be into music." Stated Jirou.
"Well, I don't care. Whoever they are, there's no chance they're as strong as me! And if they challenge me, I'll blast them into smithereens!" Growled Bakugou as miniature explosions erupt from his palms and he starts smiling malevolently.
"Quiet down! Now, like I said before, he's in the studying abroad program from America. He's going to become a part of this class for a whole three months to see how hero courses in other cultures differ and use new methods he learned to become a hero. Like the rest of you. Now, he's our guest, that means I want you to show him the upmost respect. That goes double for you, Bakugou." Stated Aizawa as he glanced over at Bakugou.
"Who says I'm not respectful!? I can be the most respectful guy on the planet!" Roared Bakugou as he stood up from his seat and pointed at Aizawa.
"Yeah, sure. When pigs fly..." Quipped Sero as he and several of the other boys started giggling as Bakugou turned to them.
"What!? You wanna go at it, Tape Boy!?" Growled Bakugou.
"Sit down!" Yelled Aizawa as Bakugou did as the teacher asked. After Bakugou sat down, Aizawa looked over at the door leading into the classroom as he spoke.
"Okay, come on in." Stated Aizawa as the door slowly opened up, as all the students looked on in anticipation. The class heard the sounds of footsteps coming from the open door as a boy walked in.
The students all looked on as the boy walked over to Aizawa's stand, all the while the class got a good look at him. He was about the same height as Deku, perhaps only an inch shorter. He had blond hair, freckles, blue eyes, and buck teeth. But one thing that irradiated about him more than anything else was his smile and positive energy. He was much like Mirio, except several years younger. As he made his way next to Mr. Aizawa's stand, he stood in front of the class as he stared at them with his positive carefree smile.
"Alright, introduce yourself so I can start teaching." Stated Aizawa in a melancholy tone as always.
"Hey there everybody, I'm Bob Hillenburg. I'm from America. More specifically, the Bikini Bottom. That's where I went to a hero school and applied to become a hero! Not for fame or fortune, but just to make the world a better place! I, uhh... Know it sounds a bit goofy and ridiculous to say something like that... But I believe in it. Just like my hero, MERMAID MAN!" Stated Bob as he pumped his fist into the air with a triumphant smile.
"Wait! You mean the aquatic American hero, Mermaid Man? He's the greatest water type hero in the world!" Stated Deku as he stood up from his seat.
"Yeah! I wanna be just like him! He fights evil and is never scared of anything! Along with his sidekick Barnacle Boy! Not to mention he also lead the International Justice League of Super Acquaintances! He's so cool!"
"The IJLSA was the best superhero team in all of America! Probably even the world! Do you collect hero merchandise? Because I collect a TON of All Might merchandise!" Said Deku with a massive smile on his face, being so glad to meet someone else who's just as much of a geek about heroes as he is.
"Well, as a matter of fact, I-"
"GET ON WITH IT! I DON'T WANNA SIT HERE AND LISTEN TO TWO DAMN NERDS YAMMER ON ABOUT HEROES FOR AN HOUR! JUST GET IT OVER WITH!" Roared Bakugou in an impatient tone, instantly silencing both Deku and Bob from their excited conversation.
"I'm guessing some of you guys are just REALLY passionate about becoming heroes..." Stated Bob, followed by a slightly nervous laugh.
"Don't take it personally, he does that to everyone. You'll get used to it." Stated Kaminari as he laid back.
"Fuck you, electric bastard!" Roared Bakugou as he flipped off Kaminari.
"Uhh, anyway my quark is 'Sponge'." Stated Bob as all the kids looked at him with confused expressions, as Bob continued to explain.
"I can turn by entire body into a sponge-like material. See?" Said Bob as he demonstrated by holding out his hands as they started to morph into a yellow sponge-like substance, as his entire body transformed into the substance.
"Woah! Another mimicry type, like Tetsutetsu! I never seen a quark like that before!" Stated Kirishima gleefully.
"Gotta admit, that one is new." Stated Satou.
"Yeah, it's kind of a weird quark... But it's the one I have. Anyway, if we ever go on a patrol together or go on a mission or something like that, I'd liked to be called by my hero name: SpongeBob." Stated Bob as several of the students raised their eyebrows in confusion at such an odd name.
"Nothing spectacularly glamorous, but there's nothing really wrong with something a little more average." Commented Aoyama.
"Hey, no offense of anything man, but... Why not just go with SpongeBoy?" Asked Sero.
"Uhh, actually I was going to call myself SpongeBoy. But the name was copyrighted by a mop company so that was off the table. Anyway, I think SpongeBob fits better. You know what, just call me SpongeBob instead." Said SpongeBob with a smile as he was about to continue.
"Wrap it up." Commented Aizawa as he already started to get into his yellow sleeping bag.
"Oh, well, I-I'm honestly a little nervous here. I watched the U.A. Sports Festival on TV and... I saw all of you in action. Your all really awesome and honestly on the same level as some of the pros. You're all just really amazing. I just hope I can get some really good tips here about becoming a pro hero, and becoming good friends with everybody here." Said SpongeBob with a big smile as everyone, except Bakugou, Shouji, Tokoyami, Todoroki, and a few others smiled back.
"Good, now take your seat." Stated Aizawa as SpongeBob walked over to the only empty desk in the room and took a seat there. Unfortunately for SponeBob, actually really for Bakugou, he sat right next to the hothead. As Bakugou tried to ignore SpongeBob, SpongeBob turned to the student and whispered.
"Hey, your the one who won the U.A. Sports Festival, right? Good job." Whispered SpongeBob as Bakugou glared at the American.
"Talk to me again, and I'll blast you to pieces cheese boy..." Replied Bakugou with a growl as Izuku, Uraraka, Sero, Kirishima, and many of the other students silently turned to the pair to see the eventual fireworks that will go down.
'Oh no... Come on SpongeBob, just mind your own business!' Screamed Deku mentally as SpongeBob quickly expressed a look of shock, before silently laughing and turning to Bakugou again.
"Bahahaha... That's a good one. A little smack talk can do wonders to build a new friendship." Whispered SpongeBob as many of the kids in the class looked on in shock and surprise.
"No. I'm serious, weakling, I'll blow you into a thousand tiny pieces if you even THINK about getting in my way. Besides, you look so weak and scrawny, I almost mistaken you for a girl the second you came in here." Growled Bakugou in a low voice as every female in the class glared at Bakugou. SpongeBob remained silent as he stared at Bakugou for a second, before finally replying.
"... Am I a pretty girl?"
"...Uhh." Bakugou had no idea how to respond, until Sero whispered to him.
"So? Is he a pretty girl, Bakugou?" Asked Sero, and just like that everyone in the class exploded in laughter. Mainly Kirishima, Sero, Mina, Kaminari, Jirou, Satou, Tooru, Mineta, and almost every other student laughed like crazy. All the while SpongeBob looked around in confusion while Deku looked on in shock and Bakugou threatened to kill everyone around him.
"Excuse me..." Growled the insidious voice of as the entire class instantly became quite and slowly turned their head back to their livid teacher, who stared through all of them with his icy glare.
"Would you mind telling me what is so humorous?..." Growled Aizawa as the entire class shook their heads vigorously as each student stated the same thing.
"Nothing!"
"Nothing at all!"
"It was nothing, Mr Aizawa !"
"Nothing, Mr Aizawa !"
"It's nothing!"
"Well, do you know what's even funnier then that?..." Hissed Aizawa as the entire class braced for impact, with all remaining silent.
"KEEPING YOUR MOUTHS SHUT AND LETTING ME TEACH MY CLASS IN PEACE!" Roared Aizawa as the entire class developed looks of terror, as if they seen a ghost. And just like that, Aizawa returns back to his normal teaching process as if nothing happened.
"... I think I'm gonna like it here!" Said SpongeBob with a smile on his face.
Japan, Hero Academy, Room Class-1A: 30 Minutes Later
Only 30 minutes later as Aizawa teached the class, in the middle of his lecture he sat down with his back against the wall and fell asleep in the sleeping bag he was already in. As Aizawa slept, it finally gave all the students a chance to meet the new kid from America as all the kids got out of their seats and crowded around SpongeBob. Only Todoroki and Bakugou still at their seats and not interested in the new kid.
"Hey there, I'm Eijirou Kirishima and my hero name is Red Riot!" Greeted Kirishima.
"My name is Mashirao Ojiro. But my hero name is TailMan." Greeted Ojiro.
"I'm Hanta Sero, but on the battlefield, you can call me Cellophane!" Greeted Sero.
"I am Aoyama! And my hero name is 'I cannot stop-'" Aoyama's greeting was interrupted as Mina jumped in front of him.
"Hey! I'm Mina Ashido! But my codename is Alien Queen!" Cheered Mina.
"But wait, I thought Miss Midnight said you can't have that name." Commented Asui as Mina turned to her friend and replied.
"Yeah, but I don't care! I AM Alien Queen!" Stated Mina defiantly with her arms crossed, as Asui turned to SpongeBob.
"The name is Asui, my hero name is Froppy. But please, call me Tsu." Greeted Asui.
"Hey, the name is Satou. But my hero name is Sugarman." Greeted Satou.
"Uhh, hi... I'm Kouda. But my hero name is Anima..." Greeted Kouda shily.
"Hi, the names Jirou. But my hero name is Earphone Jack." Greeted Jirou.
"Hi there! Your less cute then the American boy I thought was coming, but your nice enough! I'm Tooru but my hero name is Invisible Girl!" Greeted Tooru.
"Greetings! I am Momo Yaoyorozu and I am one of Class-1A's representatives. On the battlefield, you may call me Creati." Greeted Momo.
"The name is Kaminari, and if you need any help around here, you can count on me to help you out. Also, the hero name is ChargeBolt." Greeted Kaminari as he stepped aside so SpongeBob could see the four other students not crowding around the new student.
"The four loners over there are the class loners and edgelords. But we love them anyway." Stated Kaminari as he gestured to Bakugou, Todoroki, Tokoyami, and Shouji.
"FUCK YOU, YOU GODDAMNNED ELECTRIC ASSWIPE!" Growled Bakugou as he flipped off the Kaminari and the rest of the students surrounding SpongeBob's desk.
"You already met Bakugou... He might look scary... And he kind of is... But he really is cool once you get to know him. But he doesn't have a hero name just yet..." Stated Kirishima.
"FUCK YOU! I'M KING EXPLOSION MURDER!"
"That's not what Miss Midnight said-" Replied Sero.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
"Anyway, the bird boy over there is Tokoyomi. Hero name: Tsukuyomi. The big guy with the extra arms is Shouji. Hero name: Tentacole. And the red and white pretty boy over there is Todoroki: Hero name:... None yet." Stated Kirishima as he turned back to SpongeBob.
"By the way, you gotta show us your quark in act-" But Kirishima was interrupted as Mineta jumped out of nowhere and announced his presence.
"-And I am Minteta! The hero Grape Juice!" Cheered Mineta as everyone was taken aback for a moment. But before anyone could reply to Mineta's sudden appearance, the sound of fast pace moving footsteps got closer and closer.
But before anyone could even react, they heard the all too familiar voice of Iida rushing in as the students surrounding SpongeBob instantly split like the red sea as Iida rushed in.
"I CANNOT CONDONE ACTIONS THAT WILL MAKE CLASS-1A SEEM LIKE A BUNCH OF DISORGANIZED CHILDREN TO OUR AMERICAN GUEST! IT IS UNTHINKABLE!" Yelled Iida as he grabbed SpongeBob by the shoulders as he began to shake him vigorously.
"Please forgive my classmates! I am Tenya Iida the class representative and it is my goal to make your stay as educational and relaxing as possible! ARE YOU RELAXED AND EDUCATED YET!?" Asked Iida as he continued to shake SpongeBob, before stopping and letting go. After that, the whole class stared at SpongeBob who sat there silently with an overwhelmed expression on his face.
"Uhh, do you think we might've gone a little too far?" Asked Ojiro as SpongeBob transformed into his Sponge form as his body took on a more liquid and fluid-like quality. As he fell off his desk and on the floor.
"... Yeah, maybe we went a little too far..." Stated Tooru as SpongeBob remained in the same liquid state for a moment, as SpongeBob began to think.
'Alright, probably shouldn't have done that. But how else am I supposed to react to all this sudden introduction? Either way, I need to get over it, or I'll be nothing but a puddle!' Thought SpongeBob as his eyes drifted down to see one of his shoes drifting away in the puddle of semi-liquid SpongeBob.
"Uhh, sorry about that. Everyone is just excited to meet you. Don't worry, I had the same experience." Stated Izuku as he stepped forward and looked down at the semi-liquid SpongeBob. SpongeBob then started to pull himself back together and returned to his original solid form as he stood back up.
"Hehehe, sorry everyone! Sorry. I love being around people, but this was a bit of a shock. But don't worry! I'll be just fine. By the way, I never got YOUR name. You seem to really be into heroes." Said SpongeBob as he held out his hand with a smile on his face. Izuku smiled back and shook the boys hand.
"Izuku Midoriya. But, it'll be easier just to call me by my hero name: Deku." Said Deku as she shook SpongeBob's hand and got properly introduced. All the while the other students looked on in disgruntlement.
"Aww man! Why did WE have to be the weirdos to freak out the new guy? That's so unfair!" Groaned Kirishima.
"Welcome to the club." Quipped Mineta as Kirishima and the rest glared at him.
"Great to meet you, Deku. Kind of a weird name, but I'm the same guy who calls himself 'SpongeBob'. Anyway, nice to meet ya!" Said SpongeBob as he shook Deku's hand.
"Oh uhh, sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier. But I'm Uraraka, but my hero name is Uravity." Said Uraraka as she walked in and smiled at SpongeBob. All the while, SpongeBob looked at her with a shocked expression on his face. Silent for a second before shaking his head.
"Oh... Sorry about that. I just can't believe I'm meeting you Uraraka, I saw you on TV during the Sports Festival and saw how hard you fought. Even when multiple explosions went off in your FACE, you kept fighting! SO COOL!" Said SpongeBob, geeking out for a moment before returning to reality and rubbed the back of his head with embarrassment.
"Sorry about that. It's just that... You guys were inspirations for young heroes in training all over the world. Sorry for acting a little weird, I just can't believe I'm here in one of the best hero schools in the world!... For at least a month..." Said SpongeBob as the students instantly changed their looks from happy to curious. Despite SpongeBob's introduction to the class, they still don't know that much about him.
"Actually, I'm curious about that. Why did you come to study abroad in Japan in the first place?" Asked Deku as SpongeBob started rubbing his chin.
"Well, like I said I'm from the Bikini Bottom's hero course. I've been going there for a few months now to become a hero. Even though I wasn't exactly struggling with my studies or even training or anything like that, it wasn't enough. I needed more experience and better training. And Mermaid Man said there was no better way then to learn it her-... Oh, wait! Uh, wait!-" SpongeBob just realized his mistake as the other kids around him had their eyes widen in amazement as SpongeBob attempted to explain himself.
"Wait! I didn't mean to say-"
"You know Mermaid Man personally!?" Asked Kirishima.
"What about Barnacle Boy?! Those guys are like the BIGGEST heroes in America!" Stated Mina with a smile as SpongeBob realized the awkward position he was in. All the while, Deku looked on in surprise. Deku knew there had to be someone else out there that's like him, with so many people in the world there are bound to be a few people who are similar. But Deku had no idea one of the people who was most similar to him was not only an optimistic, kind, hero fan like him, but also training under a well known hero as well.
"Yeah... Me and my friend Patrick met them once... But he's just a teacher at my hero school back in America. Anyway, enough about that, what are you guys into? What do you guys do for fun around here?" At this question, the students errupted with a pantheon of different answers.
"Go to the mall!"
"Lifting weights!"
"Doing each others hair!"
"Studying!"
"Baking!"
"Looking at dirty magazines!"
"Mineta! Would you stop being a creep for five seconds!?" Yelled Tooru as she banged her invisible fists over Mineta's head.
"Well, if you guys are still curious about me and what I like, I enjoy blowing bubbles, butterfly collecting, KARATAI! And fry cooking at the Krusty Krab!" Stated SpongeBob as the other students stopped talking about what they liked to do with Tooru ceasing her assault of Mineta.
"Did... Did you just say you blow bubbles?..." Asked Kirishima in disbelief.
"Yup! I sure do!" Said SpongeBob as he reached for his back pocket and pulled out a bottle of bubbles, where he then skillfully blew several bubbles in the shape of dinosaurs. The class still remained silent as they watched.
"And... You collect butterflies?" Asked Jirou.
"Kind of. I only catch and release them, I don't really kill them and pin them down with needles. That's just cruel." Stated SpongeBob as he blew a new set of bubbles.
"You also work at a place called the... Krusty Krab?" Asked Momo.
"Yup! That's where I make Krabby Patties! The best food in the whole world! It's also the most PERFECT place in the universe..." Stated SpongeBob as the entire class stared at him with surprised expressions. All the while Deku, Uraraka, and Iida looked on as they all facepalmed at SpongeBob's brutal honesty.
'Well, it was nice for him while it lasted...' Thought Deku as Kacchan was hanging out at his desk as he listened in. All the while, smirking like a supervillain as he tried to hold back his evil laughter.
'Hehehe, what a dumbass! That fucking moron just made himself an outcast with how stupidly honest he was about being a wimp and a loser. Hahahaha! It was STUPID to think that that fuckin' dork would ever be a threat to my greatness!' Thought Bakugou as he watched from a distance, waiting for the fireworks.
"Yeah... Thats kinda what I like to do... So... Are you guys okay?" Asked SpongeBob as he looked at all the speechless students around him.
"You... Blow bubbles in shapes like THAT, and your honest about it?... NOW THAT'S MANLY!" Cheered Kirishima as Deku, Uraraka, Iida, Bakugou, and even Tordoroki who was listening it looked over at Kirishima and SpongeBob with shocked expressions on their faces.
"What!? Are you serious!?" Yelled Bakugou in disbelief as he looked on from his desk.
"Really!? Everyone else I know thinks it's silly. Besides Patrick." Said SpongeBob with a slightly ashamed look.
"Any guy who admits his hobbies to others with zero fear, AND is skilled enough to make his bubbles in complex shapes like THAT, is MANLY in my book!" Said Kirishima as he pointed at his chest with his thumb.
"Yeah, and collecting butterflies and not actually hurting them is really cool!" Stated Kouta.
"Also, you decide to work at a restaurant and work hard like any respectable member of society! Very responsible." Complemented Momo as SpongeBob looks on in surprise and shock.
"Woah, you guys are so cool! Unlike some of the other kids in my last school... But you guys are amazing!" Said SpongeBob as Bakugou's face began to darken in anger as Iida, Uraraka, and Deku let out collective sighs of relief.
"Are you kidding me!? You have a lame quark that turns your entire body into a cleaning sponge, you act like a moron, you collect butterflies, you work at some greasy burger joint, and you BLOW BUBBLES!? AND YOU WANNA BECOME A SERIOUS HERO!? YOUR NOTHING BUT A BUBBLE BLOWING DOUBLE BABY!" Roared Bakugou in anger as SpongeBob and the rest of the class looked over to Bakugou, who was stomping over towards SpongeBob with murderous intent.
"Uhh... Yes? I-... Just wanna help people." Stated SpongeBob with an optimistic yet slightly nervous tone, as Bakugou stopped as he made it to SpongeBob's desk.
"If you want my advice, you'll pack your bags and return to America! An imbecilic dumbass like you doesn't belong in a prestigious hero academy like this! And to even believe for a fraction of a moment that you think you can become some marvelous hero by running around and blowing bubbles like some toddler, proves that you can NEVER BECOME A REAL HERO!" Growled Bakugou as SpongeBob and everyone else looked at him in silence. Until Deku stepped in between Bakugou and SpongeBob to protest.
"Hey, Kacchan, leave him alone. He just came to this school and he's super nice. Don't yell at him like that!" Stated Deku as he nervously anticipated Bakugou's figuratively and literally explosive insults. But before Bakugou could yell, a hand was placed on his shoulder. As Bakugou looked over, he saw that the hand belonged to Kirishima.
"Bakugou, Deku is right. Don't yell at this guy, he might be a bit different but that's no reason to yell at him like that." Stated Kirishima as Bakugou angrily brushed Kirishima's hand off of his shoulder.
"Gee, Bakugou..." Stated SpongeBob as everyone turned back to face the American. "After the school day I'll go out and buy a dictionary so I can figure out what you just said."
Bakugou's eyes widened in shock as his face dropped. All the while part of the class laughed, another part looked on in shock, and the last part including Mina, Kaminari, Mineta, and Sero said "Ohhh! You just got SERVED BOY!"
Bakugou just looked on in sheer shock and anger, before silently turning around and walking back to his desk. Deku looked back in amazement before turning to SpongeBob.
"Wow, SpongeBob, none of us have been able to get Kacchan to walk away like that. And you did it on your first day..." Complemented Deku as SpongeBob gave him a puzzled look.
"Uh, I just didn't know what he was saying." Replied SpongeBob in all honesty.
"Anyway, your a big fan of heroes, huh? Even trained to an extent under Mermaid Man? That's really cool!" Stated Deku excitedly.
"Yup, I have all the Mermaid Man comics, ultra rare action figures, all the cards in his trading card series, his autograph, and Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boys Conch Signal!" Said SpongeBob as Deku let out a large shocked gasp.
"Woah! Me too! Except for me it's All Might and not Mermaid Man... But that is so cool!" Replied Deku.
"Bahahaha! Yeah, cool! I'm not as big of a fan of All Might. But even though Mermaid Man can defeat him, All Might is pretty coo-" But SpongeBob wasn't able to finish his speech before being silenced by Deku.
"Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah!... Woah!... What was that? Did you just say you think that Mermaid Man can beat All Might in a fight?" Asked Deku in a far more serious tone as SpongeBob rolled his eyes.
"Well, I don't THINK so, I KNOW so. Mermaid Man can survive the high pressures of the deepest parts of the ocean and can toss around massive submarines like they were nothing!" Replied SpongeBob as Deku became even more serious then before as he slammed his hands on SpongeBob's desk.
"Yeah, well All Might can change the weather with a single punch and defeated All for One several times. Mermaid Man is strong, but he isn't THAT strong." Stated Deku as SpongeBob and Deku narrowed their eyes at each other. As the two began to throw arguments and statistics back and forth on who would win between SpongeBob's and Deku's respective heroic icons, the students began to trade awkward and unsure glances towards one another.
"So wait... Does this make them rivals now?" Asked Mina.
"Well... At the very least a more healthy and less violent rivalry then Deku and Bakugou." Replied Uraraka.
"Either way, debating over which hero would win in a fight is very manly in my books!" Stated Kirishima as he crossed his arms and hardened them.
"*Sigh* Is there anything that ISN'T manly to you?" Asked Tooru with an annoyed sigh as Kirishima turned to her.
"Uhh... I guess unless their a jerk." Replied Kirishima with a cheapish smile.
But as Deku and SpongeBob's debate became more intense, Iida immediately dashed in and started shaking the to by their shoulders vigorously.
"That is enough you two! You may set up an organized debate AFTER CLASS and debate to your hearts content! But for now everyone MUST return to their seats and stop speaking! We must give our class, teacher, and proper organized debates respect as we sit down and stop talking!" Yelled Iida as he stopped shaking SpongeBob and Deku.
"Wait... I thought the teacher fell asl-" But SpongeBob was interrupted by the bell.
Ring!
"Alright everyone, get into your training outfits and head to the training course." Everyone stopped and looked over to see Mr Aizawa standing up and holding his yellow sleeping bag under his arm as he walked out the door.
Japan, Hero Academy, Teachers Office:
All Might sat at his desk as he held a phone to his ear and started to someone on the other line.
"I know Mermaid Man, but I don't think your student is... No. No, not at all. I'm facing something very similar with mine. Yes, the kid with the green hair from the UA Sports Festival. Yeah, he learned to control it better and doesn't break his fingers anymore... Uh-huh... Uh-huh... I understand why you sent your student over here, and I will make sure to assist him however I-... Uh-huh. Okay. Also keep an eye out? For what? Oh, THEM?... *Sigh* I wish you told everyone here earlier... *Sigh* Okay, I'll inform them and keep an eye out. Hopefully it's just a bunch of hysteria, and it's not really them. Uh-huh, same. Alright, take care Ernie." Said All Might as he hung up the phone and sighed to himself.
"This is gonna be quite a month..."
Japan, Hero Academy, Gym Gamma: 10 Minutes Later
In Gym Gamma, all the students stood in front of the mountainous training course in their hero costumes. With one notable new student who's in a costume of his own. As everyone spoke with one another, Deku looked over at SpongeBob who was in his own superhero outfit. It was odd how similar his outfit was to the standard UA training outfit, SpongeBob's outfit was blue with white stripes around the arms, chest, legs, and back. The white stripes also form a large white 'S' on SpongeBob's chest. Along with a blue face mask that SpongeBob was currently wearing, covering up his top head and his upper face while revealing his lower face.
"Hey, SpongeBob, sorry about what happened earlier. I just get a little passionate about All Might." Said Deku as he expressed a nervous smile and rubbed the back of his head.
"Don't worry, pal. I got a little carried away myself. Maybe later we can have a more... civil debate." Offered SpongeBob with a smile as Deku nodded.
"Yeah, sure thing. But, I have a question about your costume... Did you take inspiration from UA's training uniforms? They look really similar." Stated Deku as SpongeBob shook his head.
"Nah, it was honestly just a coincidence. Blue and white have always been my colors, and I came up with the costume idea when I was a kid. Something water themed."
"Oh, that's pretty cool. But, you also know that you don't have to wear your mask, right?" Asked Deku as he pointed at SpongeBob's mask.
"I think it's cool. Some of the best heroes in the world wear masks, it just adds to the wonder and awesomeness that is heroism!" Stated SpongeBob excitedly.
"Yeah, but... does your costume have to be so... tight?" Asked Deku as he pointed to SpongeBob's skin tight outfit.
"It allows MAXIMUM MOBILITY! I can FEEL IT!" Said SpongeBob as he turned and started shaking his behind with the incredibly tight suit showing off the extremely detailed... features. "In fact, it feels like I'm wearing, nothing at all! NOTHING AT ALL! NOTHING AT ALL!"
Deku and several of the other students shared at SpongeBob in disgust, as Jirou covered her own and Momo's eyes with her aux cords with Sero pulling off a piece of tape from one of his elbows and covering his eyes with it.
"MY EYES!" Yelled Deku in agony as he covered his eyes with his hands.
"Alright guys, shut up and listen up..." Everyone stopped talking as they all looked over at Mr Aizawa who was standing in front of Class-1A with his usual strained expression.
"As you all already know, we have a special guest here today who came here all the way from America to see how we do things here in UA." Said Aizawa as he and the rest of the students turned their attention to SpongeBob, who looked around with a slightly nervous laugh.
"Baha... Yeah, that's me..." Said SpongeBob with a nervous tone.
"That also means he took tests back in America to get into a hero course as well. But here your not just gonna come waltzing in and join everyone training, your gonna show us first hand your quark in action and how developed your skills are." Stated Aizawa as he took a few steps to the left to show the massive stone pillars that took up most of the Gym area. But what caught everyone's eye there was several of the green training robots on different pillars. The robots were very similar to the robots from the entrance exams. In fact, the sight reminded Deku, Bakugou, Kirishima, Uraraka, and everyone else who was at I-Island about the obstacle course that Deku, Bakugou, and Kirishima took.
"Your task is simple SpongeBob, there are ten training robots on the rocks there, your job is to destroy and dispatch of all of them as quickly as possible. It will show everyone what you can do and make it easier to do team up training's. Now step forward and tell me when your ready to start." Stated Aizawa as he pulled out his phone to keep track of the time as SpongeBob looked on with a nervous expression.
'Oh no... I wasn't told I'd have to do something like this on my first day. In front of OTHER PEOPLE too!? Oh man, I'm not good at putting up a show like this in front of other people. And what if I don't break the robots within the amount of time they wanted me too!? What if they send me back!? What if I disappoint Mermaid Man and-' But SpongeBob was interrupted from his thoughts as he felt a hand rest on his shoulder. As he looked over, he saw the hand belonged to Deku as he, Uraraka, and Iida were all smiling at SpongeBob.
"Don't worry, Bob... You'll be fine." Said Deku with encouraging words.
"You'll do fine, go on." Said Uraraka.
"At first I had my doubts of your intellect. But your heart is in the right place, as your temporary classmate I believe in you." Stated Iida as SpongeBob looked back at the three with a smile, as he looked forward yet again.
"What are you waiting for? The heat death of the universe? Get your butt moving!" Commanded Aizawa as SpongeBob stiffened up as he walked to the marked spot on the floor as he took his place and started to get ready.
"Okay, tell me when your ready..." Said Aizawa with his thumb hovering over the go button on his timer.
"... I'm ready." Said SpongeBob in the most epic voice he could muster.
"Go!" Said Aizawa as he started the timer and SpongeBob ran forward. But as he took his first few steps forward, he slipped on a tiny pebble he didn't see and screamed as he started bouncing all over the place like a super ball.
Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing!
"YA! OHH! YEE! AAA! YA! AAA! OHH! EEE! YEE! AHH! YA! OHH! YEE! AAA! YA! AAA! OHH! EEE! YEE! AHH! YA! OHH! YEE! AAA! YA! AAA! OHH! EEE! YEE! AHH!"
The students glanced at one another as SpongeBob's bouncing momentum only built up more and more speed as he bounced around the entire mountainous arena. SpongeBob's momentum only moved faster as even the training robots gave each other awkward glances.
"Oh... This will be fun..." Stated Aizawa sarcastically as SpongeBob's bouncing started to have some pattern to it. As SpongeBob's body continued to move around with the speed of a bullet, he eventually collided with multiple training robots, destroying or at least severally damaging each of them with one or two blows.
Crash! Kaboom!
Crash! Kaboom!
Crash! Kaboom!
"Huh... Bouncing around the battlefield like that, he's kinda like you, Izuku." Stated Uraraka.
"Yeah... kinda... He acctually reminds me of Kacchan." Replied Deku.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Roared Bakugou as Izuku took a step back fearfully.
"N-Nothing, Kacchan!"
"I'm nothing like that idiot! He's not even attacking! He's just a clumsy nerd!" Growled Kacchan as SpongeBob continued to bounce around the area uncontrollably.
Crash! Kaboom!
Crash! Kaboom!
Crash! Kaboom!
Crash! Kaboom!
Crash! Kaboom!
And just in a matter of seconds, he took out five more robots before quickly grabbing ahold of a surface of the next object he hit. Luckily it was solid ground as SpongeBob pushed himself back up.
'Finally, I stopped bouncing... Now where is the other-' SpongeBob's thought process was cut off as he turned around to see one of the two robots left as it was preparing to attack. The robot attempted to swing at SpongeBob several times, but each blow missing. Until the robot tried to swing a third time, as SpongeBob quickly dodged and grabbed the robots arm. Tearing it off and piercing it through the robots head.
'Almost done, now where's the last-' But SpongeBob was silenced as he turned around to see the final robot standing in front of him, as it pointed flame throwers at him.
"Oh no..."
FROOSH! FROOSH! FROOOOOOOSH!
"Yahahaow!"
Crash!
The students shielded their eyes after each blast of fire, before SpongeBob finally defeated the robot and crushed it. A moment of silence passed as a chard SpongeBob with soot covering most of his body, slowly walked forward with the top of his head having a small candle-sized flame still burning.
As he walked up to Mr Aizawa, he looked up at him with a cheapish smile.
"Uhh... How did I do?"
"Congratulations, you managed to do better then the three worst students in my class." Stated Aizawa as he reached forward and extinguished the kindle on SpongeBob's head. To be continued
