MHA/BNHA react to For The Want of A Nail by Clouds part 1

Mei: Oh yeah, first day of class!

Izuku tugged at the knot of his tie again, trying to get it to vaguely resemble a triangle at the very least, and tried to ignore Katsuki, who was glaring at him from the other end of the train. It was just his luck that they'd left at the same time and ended up in the same car, but from the map of UA he'd been sent alongside his acceptance letter, the support classes were in an entirely different part of the building than the hero courses, so they would have to head in separate directions almost as soon as they arrived and then he could meet up with Mei. Easy as pie.

Shinso: Or at least it should be.

Kendo: Stop being so pessimistic.

Shinso: I will when I don't have every right to be.

Even though he'd already been there for the entrance exams, walking into UA as a student was an overwhelming experience. He hadn't even realized he'd stopped just outside the door until Katsuki roughly shoulder-checked him, knocking him over the threshold.

"Stay out of my way, Deku."

Izuku instinctively tensed, wondering if Katsuki had finally had enough of his new attitude and he was actually going to die before classes even started, but Katsuki just walked away, not even sparing Izuku a backward glance as he headed toward the hero course. He supposed that even Katsuki wasn't over confident enough to attack him in the halls of the best hero school in Japan, where a pro hero could walk around the corner at any minute. Still, Izuku would have to start leaving earlier if he wanted to avoid being jumped outside the gates.

Midoriya: ...That's weirdly tame of him. Phew.

As soon as Katsuki was finally out of sight, Izuku let out a breath of relief and walked in the opposite direction, relying on the map he'd memorized to find his way to class 1F. The school was a little like a maze and Izuku wondered how much of that was intentional. It must make it more difficult for villains to find their way around if they ever got inside, or maybe Nezu had just remodeled the school this way to get some petty revenge on humans and let them know what running a maze felt like. Honestly, it was probably both.

Nezu: Yes, he's quite right.

Eventually, Izuku found the correct hallway and was met with an armful of Mei as soon as he turned the corner.

"Why are our teachers so cruel, Izu-kun?!" Mei sobbed into his shoulder.

Izuku's mind started racing. Were the teachers here going to be like the ones at Aldera? He'd just assumed that they'd be kinder because they were pro heroes and were supposed to save people, but what if they were just as bad? No, they'd be worse because they had more training.

Mic: ...I wish I could be mad at him for calling us that but seriously he's traumatized.

Aizawa: We'll just have to trust that we can help him through it.

Mei: Well he's got the other me as a best friend so I think he'll be fine!

Before his brain could even fully process those thoughts, Mei started speaking again, "They locked the lab and won't let us in until the teacher gets here! Why, Izu-kun! I need to make my babies!"

Power Loader: Mei stop making him panic please...

Mei: Yeah, sorry, Majima-sensei!

Izuku practically melted in relief. Their teachers weren't actually cruel. It was just Mei being Mei. Not that her outrage didn't make sense! It just wasn't as objectively bad as what Izuku had been thinking! The lab being locked might be an inconvenience, but it wouldn't feel like the end of the world to anyone else besides her.
