(then the screen switches to his school and starts showing his classmates and peers while filming in first person view) This is my school. Not much but it's home. (then he shows his crushes and friends) These are my special loved ones. Say hi. (they wave and then Ochaco is shown changing in the locker room) This is the girl of my dreams. (then he realizes his mistake) Oh shoot. (she hears him and notices him but he runs away to avoid getting caught as she screams to get back here) Okay, let's make sure she doesn't see this. (then we see Kaachan making explosions) This is is the bully Kaachan. (Kaachan heard that and flipped him off. Then he is in class and Aizawa is teaching) This is Class 1-A, my homeroom. Taught by the most creepiest teacher ever. Shota Aizawa, also known as Eraserhead. (Aizawa glares at him and angrily orders him to not insult staff on camera. The class laughs) Sorry sir. (Aizawa rolls his eyes and continues teaching. Then we switch to Tenya Iida and Melissa Shield making out) This is one of my favorite couples in the school. (then he realizes what they're doing and gulps. They hear him but he closes the door. He then records Class 1-B and they seen to be a rough crowd. Poni is near him and smiles) This is Class 1-B and here we have the most innocent sweetheart little sister of mine Poni. (she chuckles and hugs him. However, Setsuna notices and gets jealous as she walks towards them but Setsuna smiles too) This is one of my big sisters Setsuna. (she chuckled at this and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Then we go to Class 3-A where the Big 3 wave) This is the Big 3: Big Bro Mirio, Super Hottie Nejire, and Extreme Cool Tamaki. (they smile at this. He is then eating lunch with Shoto, Momo, Fumikage, Tsuyu, Shinso, and Mei) These are the rest of my friends. Two of them should be in the hero course. (Shinso and Mei nodded in angry agreement but they still wave friendly. Next scene shows Kota and Eri who are eating ice cream but notice the camera and grin) This is my little girl Eri and her boyfriend Kota. (they blush but smile. However, they hear some noises and find out that Tomura is attacking) That's my arch enemy Tomura and he's attacking. Gotta go. (then he switches to camera view to his camera glasses on his mask and is shown fight Tomura. Long story short, he defeated the guy and everything became normal. Then we see Izuku in the middle seat of a car with Mirio next to him and the car is being driven by All Might) Sorry this is short but I want you to know if you have a quirk and want to be a hero then welcome to U.A. High School, the school for future pro-heroes. This is Izuku Midoriya and don't forget to watch an episode of our superhero T.V. show My Hero Academia."
