Chapter 20 - Introduction

As Hermann slowly entered the classroom he paused for a moment to observe his new classmates. There were lots of new and different people all around him talking and doing things loudly. There were shy people sitting isolated from others silently keeping themselves occupied, loud and active people sitting in groups discussing their points of interest and other people mixing in between. Slowly Hermann moved away from the annoying loud kids searching for a quiet place among the socially awkward to avoid being annoyed by nosy brats.

After a few minutes a teacher entered the noisy classroom.

Teacher: "Silence! Quiet down so that we can start the lesson. My name is Suzuki and I will be your homeroom teacher for this year. Now we will start with the introductions. First I will call your name from the list and if you hear your name being called please stand up and introduce yourself to the class."

Slowly everyone quieted down and the introductions began. Hermann didn't seriously pay attention to their introductions as he didn't know most of them both from this life as well as from the show. The only times he was a tad bit interested was when he realized that he was in the same class as 'The weakling' Izuku Midoriya and 'The annoyance' Katsuki Bakugo.

H: [Why did I have to be in this troublesome class….I just wanted to live normally to relax]

The first introduction he payed attention to was Bakugos. Proudly and menacing he declared:

"I am Katsuki Bakugo. I like food and doing stuff. I hate Deku over there. In the near future I want to be the strongest hero."

A short while after Bakugo it was Midoriyas time for the introduction. Shyly he said:

"My name is Izuku Midoriya. I like hero shows but I don't really dislike anything. In the future I wish to become a hero like Almight."

After a few introduction of side characters it was finally Hermanns turn to introduce himself. He came last as he had no family name. His mother had somehow insured that he couldn't be traced back to her in any way. So he stood up slowly while contemplating on his introduction.

H: "My name is Kaiser. I don't feel like telling you about my likes and dislikes. I haven't really really thought about my dreams for the future. As for hobbies….I have lots."

After his short introduction he quickly sat back down. As he looked around he could see all of his classmates looking at him questioningly. Following this were a few silent seconds until the teacher decided to continue the lesson.

Suzuki: {cough}"After this short introduction let us start with explaining to you about our school rules…."

As soon as Hermann heard this keyword he put his arms to the middle of the table, put his head on it and slowly drifted towards the dreamland. At least until he was rudely awakened by a piece of chalk and his teacher yelling at him for sleeping in class in the the first lesson. After this Hermann forced himself to stay awake and listen to boring rules he could learn by simply glancing into the rule book. When the class was over they had a short break to eat and drink something. In the next class the got a small tour around the school where the teacher explained the facilities and the location of important rooms. Following that they had a short lesson in Japanese as well as math until they were sent home along with the parents that came to get them.

Along the way to the orphanage he was asked about his day by his caretaker to which he replied as short as possible due to his fatigue. After they arrived at the orphanage and had a meal Hermann excused himself and went to bed. After all, what's the point in training when you can't give 100%?
