Chapter Text
All twenty members of 1-A looked down at the surprise test they’d been given, a couple ( cough MinaandDenki cough ) were muttering prayers for mercy.
"You have ten minutes to-" Aizawa started to say when a screen suddenly appeared on the wall behind him, causing the whole class to jump.
"What the hell!?"
"Is it a villain attack!?"
"Settle down!" Aizawa ordered, quickly stepping away from the screen. They all stared at it when a heavily modulated voice rang out
"HEEELLLOOOOO CLASS-hang on." It said, the screen showing nothing but a blank wall. “Come on, you…” The screen shook and a test pattern appeared.
*Thump!*
“Leggo!”
*Crash!*
*REEE-OOOWWRRR!*
“Dammit, Skittle, I told you that’s not your litter box!”
The class sat there in a mix of worry, confusion, and a dab of growing amusement when it came back on, showing someone in a blue kimono and biker helmet
“Ok, where was I? Oh right; HEEEELLLOOO Class 1-A! Before anyone asks, don't worry, I'm not a villain. Well, not unless you count pirating public access tv."
"Who are you!?" Aizawa demanded, ready to use Erasure.
"Name's Cinema, and I'm bored. So, I decided to show you guys something. My Quirk is Feature Presentation. With it, I can basically show alternate worlds depending on who I focus on."
“W-why us??” Ochako asked nervously.
“Eh, between what I heard happen at the USJ, and the Sports Festival, I figured ‘hey, this lot’s bound to have some interesting realities to poke around in’. So, here I am. And like I said, I’m bored. I’d rather braid my nose hair before watching another infomercial.”
Before anyone could respond again, a familiar sound came from the midst of the class.
"...five-point…”
*scribble*
“full control...reality..."
*scrib-erase, scribble*
"...frequency..."
*scribble…page flip…scrablescribble
"...infinite..."
*scribblescribblescribble*
"...backlash..."
*scribble*
“Uh, should someone tell Midoribro he’s mumbling again?” Kirishima asked, glancing at the appointed class cinnamon roll whose face was buried in one of his journals.
Kaminari shuddered slightly. “And whatever he’s saying….kinda scary??”
“H-hang on, I know the controls are here somewhere.” Cinema grumbled as they seemed to fiddle with the edges of the screen. “Rewind, slow motion, turn up volume…there!”
Izuku’s voice replayed from the screen, slower and louder. "...emitter but not the usual five-point version. seems to work through video or possibly just the type of communication he's using currently. He said one so does that mean he can focus only on a single target or can he do groups but chooses not to? Does he have full control of the type of reality he can project? Something like picking up a radio frequency or is it limited to a specific number he has to select from, and his Quirk implies that multiverse theory is accurate meaning the "infinite worlds" speculation would be true, so does he have to handle the information overload? Or is there some other form of backlash…”
As the eyes of the students and teacher slowly turned towards him, Izuku glanced up from his notes, apparently so absorbed in taking them that he hadn't seen what happened on the screen. "What?" He asked, flinching back uncertainty as they stared.
“I take it back.” Kaminari spoke up. “THAT’S scary!”
“He do that often?” Cinema asked.
Aizawa took a deep breath. ‘Never thought I’d honestly be glad you’re on our side, Problem Child’ Unknown to the underground hero, his sentiment was shared by nearly everyone else in the room
“As fascinating as their questions are, it’ll be way easier to just show you.” Cinema’s eyes began to glow behind the helmet, rapidly shifting through red, blue, and yellow. “Thanks for volunteering!”
“Wait, what-” Izuku’s face suddenly looked like he was holding a leaf blower in his face. “BWWWUUURRRR!”
“Ok, nah…nope…boring …not showing THAT one with a teacher around!” Cinema muttered, blurry image stills rocketing by. “This’ll work for a start!”
"Don't start! Don't start!" The classroom door suddenly opened to All Might, with an excitable Nezu on his shoulder.
"We are here!" All Might called out. "Though I have no idea why." He pointed at Nezu. "Never tells me anything..."
Nezu was damn near giddy. "I've never gotten to see an interdimensional viewing before! Who's the lucky focus?"
"Wait, how do you...why am I asking, it's Nezu..." Aizawa facepalmed. "And it's Midoriya."
"Wha...? Who dere?" Izuku wobbled in his seat once his face uncontorted. "Wy's 'eryting tasht periwinkle??"
"Yeah, that happens." Cinema replied. "Now, we getting this show on the road?"
