The first day of school is always tense but for the first day of Stardew Valley High is intense. The new teachers and students have all been carefully sorted, with people with quirks that could force people to tell the truth or read their minds called in to make sure that no one gets into the school that has any negative view of the quirkless or anything else. No one who has bullied others, no inflated egos, no one who was allowed to do what they wanted because of their quirks or family, no one who was seen as having an interesting personality no matter how badly they behaved.

The school is also going to be more like a western school, no long hours of studying or pressure on tests, where the teacher looks the other way as one student is picked on for a way for the rest of the class to release their stress on. Is all out and western teachers and heroes are replacing the Japanese ones. For Izuku the reason for all the changes and money poured into the school, needs a stress free environment where he can trained and not worry about passing a test, that is useless for him. Which one western teacher Sundial pointed out by beating one Japanese teacher to a bloody mess in front of the school board by pistol whipping her face, to show what would happen if Izuku spent more time studying for a test then training. (1)

The teachers are all under strict rules that if they allow any student to get away with anything, they be thrown into prison and the student expelled. The teachers who be teaching Izuku are western teachers who have taught quirkless students in hero courses before, as none of the other countries are willing to trust the Japanese in teaching someone who doesn’t have a quirk to be a hero. The students in the class with Izuku are all hand picked who while having skills that could help him train, also aren’t anything like any of his former classmates, who had their quirks taken from them. All of them are fearful of being the one who causes Izuku to quit. Which is why most of the students are from other countries from countries that do teach quirkless heroes and many are quirkless.

With the announcement of what type of duel Izuku would be doing, fencing for the fate of the planet. The students were changed to those who came from sword schools to help train him. Some legendary sword styles of Japan’s past, are just that now as they fell out of favor or like some styles where only one person could learn the style, the sole person either died before they could teach someone or that no one cared to learn it. Especially the ones who sword masters had hidden themselves away and expected someone who wanted to learn their style to come to them, ending with them dying alone. (2)

Besides regular classes, Izuku would be training both in learning different sword styles as well as strengthening his body. A plan diet, supplements and vitamins to build up his body. A medical team who will be monitoring him, making sure he’s healthy and mental health experts to make sure he isn’t under any stress or have issues that he’s not talking about. The school is filled with cameras and people looking for anything that could result in Izuku finding reason to give up.

The students all gave Izuku space as he walks into the school, having been dropped off by a flying vehicle. He also has 12 robotic orbs following him at all times. The orbs are equestrian and keep an eye on Izuku, they’re able to create forcefields and fire powerful lasers. They’re the same types that are protecting the manor he’s been living in.

At the rabbit hut -

The former intelligence rodent Nezu is being tormented by Sundial as she sprays him with the garden hose. With his mind locked away and his body on autopilot, he’s been living as an animal. Being aware but unable to do anything, eating the rabbit food, when he use to eat cook food, drinking from the water bottle when he use to drink from a cup, sleeping on straw when he use to sleep on a bed. And worst of all reliving himself out in the open.

“Don’t be such a baby, you stink rodent,” Sundial said as she washes off the filth on Nezu’s fur. She never did like the rodent and takes pleasure in tormenting him now that he’s a dumb animal.

“That’s a big rat,” Eri said watching her guardian spraying the rodent

“He is and he bites at anyone who tries to wash him,” Sundial said.

“What about drying him?” Eri asked.

“Nope, he will dry off sooner or later,” Sundial said.

“Sundial, come on class is going to start,” Gil said poking his head out of a window.

“Coming,” Sundial said spraying Nezu one last time before turning off the water and leaving with Eri.

Inside Nezu’s mind, having watched what happen to his body, all he could do is weep. He can still feel what’s happening to his body but has no control over it, all he can do is watch. He’s only kept alive because he’s a living lesson to the others in the school. Of what will happen to them if they get on the wrong side of Izuku. He won’t have to do anything as the Equestrian royal family would handle that for him.

Author's Note

1 - In most Asian countries they put a lot of pressure on getting into the right school and having high grades. A high stress environment and bad when trying to get someone ready to fight for the fate of the planet and that they can quit anytime they want.

2 - Only in fiction can a style where only one person can learn the style would survive for long. As there’s so many ways for that to end with the sole master dying or unable to pass the knowledge down.
