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

Izuku intentionally left later than he should have for school so that he wouldn't have to deal with his classmates which was worth the risk of running into Katsuki on the train. He honestly wasn't planning on being as late as he was, but when he reached the station, he caught sight of Katsuki already waiting for the train. Luckily, he was facing the other way so he hadn't seen Izuku yet and he was able to hide around the corner until the train left. It meant that Izuku had to wait for the next train, but he wouldn't have to deal with an angry Katsuki, so it was all good.

As it was, Izuku ended up sliding into the little desk outside his workroom right as the bell rang. Mei was sending him the stink eye, but he resolutely ignored her as Power Loader walked to the front of the room. He knew she was just trying to do what she thought was best for him, but she'd never had to deal with being quirkless before.

Mei: Yeah but I know my classmates! They won't be mean!

Jana: Don't forget it's another world. There are worlds where Midoriya's a villain so there are worlds where your classmates are quirkist idiots.

Mei: I sure hope they're nice in Cheat Code's world though.

Power Loader: We can only hope...

"Alright class, settle down." Power Loader said. "Welcome to the support course! Today, you're going to be deciding on and starting your semester projects. These have to be approved by me, and I'll also be looking over them as you work to evaluate your progress and help you improve. I would personally recommend choosing a project that you would be able to use in the sports festival, since you're allowed to bring any support items you want, as long as you made them yourself. It's still a ways away, but it can sneak up on you if you're not careful."

Iida(thinking of his 'fight' with Mei): ...I wonder how long Hatsume has been working on her support gear.

Mei: You mean the babies I fought you with? Oh, those have been blowing up since the start of the school year!

Shinso: I am totally not surprised at this point.

Izuku thought back to the project that the principal had given him. It wasn't an invention, but knowing all the first year hero students' quirks would give him an edge that nobody else would have, so maybe that was why Nezu assigned him to analyze their quirks. He should try to give each of the students a few suggestions before the sports festival as well, to help them do well. He glanced over at Mei, who was already messing with the materials on her desk in excitement. Choosing just one project would be difficult for her.

Power Loader: Yep, it was... she submitted like three dozen different project ideas... I'm still not sure which one was the main one and which ones were just extra credit.

Power Loader called his attention back to the front of the room, "You are also allowed to work on other projects for extra credit, if you want. These have to be approved by me just the same as if they were official projects, they just don't have to go as in depth. I will be right up here if you have any questions or want to get your project approved, so don't hesitate to ask."

With that, he sat back down and left them to their work. Izuku immediately bolted into his room so Mei couldn't try to force him to make friends and closed the door behind him with a sigh. Immediately, his attention was grabbed by a non-descript post-it note stuck to the central screen of his computer. Izuku approached it hesitantly, fully expecting some hatred-filled death threat. It wouldn't be the first time, though his desk this morning had been notably clear of graffiti, which was a pleasant surprise. Though maybe Mei had just scared them out of doing something that obvious. Izuku hadn't ever had someone who was willing to protect him like that before.
