Izuku Midoriya and Ochako Uraraka were in classroom 1-A one afternoon, waiting for their hero training class with All Might to begin. Yesterday's battle simulation had been an absolute disaster. Izuku had broken three of his limbs fighting Katsuki Bakugou, and Ochako had used her gravity control too much and hurled in the sight of her supposed enemy, Tenya Iida.

Suddenly, Ochako glanced up from her notes to look out the door. "Who's that?" she asked. "There's a kid out there talking with All Might."

Mina Ashido followed Uraraka's gaze. "Ooh! He's cute!" she exclaimed happily. "Is he coming into our class? Please say yes, please say yes..."

"He does look tres chic, and very young, too, but that does not necessarily mean he is a student, non?" countered Yuga Aoyama. "For all we know, he is a teacher, or even a separate member of the faculty."

"Ribbit! But he's wearing a student uniform," Tsuyu Asui shot back. "The teachers wear their hero outfits to class, and they can even choose which ones they wear. Why would a teacher choose to wear something that their pupils are all wearing, knowing that they could be wearing the uniform that they use for hero work?"

"Good point." Yuga sighed. "Observant as always, mon ami. But then, who is he?"

Fortunately, All Might spared the class any more suspense by opening the door and ushering the boy in. "Good news, class!" he exclaimed. "Number one, I am here! Number two, we have a new transfer student today! Please welcome Jaxon Sachizado!"

The kid brushed a swath of brown hair out of his eyes. He looked as though he was about to have a headache, and a big one. "Hi, guys," he murmured. "I'm Jaxon."

"Tell us a little about yourself," exclaimed Hanta Sera.

"Oh, yes, please do!" added Ashido, her already pink face turning even pinker.

Jaxon smiled. "Well, I just moved here from Minato a few days ago. I got to my house during the time slot of the practical exams, so I wasn't able to participate."

"What's your Quirk?" This, surprisingly, was Kacchan.

Jaxon nodded at Kacchan. "I have a number of abilities," he answered.

The class went silent. Denki Kaminari was the first to speak. "Multiple Quirks? How is that possible?"

Jaxon shook his head. "You're thinking in the wrong direction. My technical Quirk is called T.A.C., or Total Ability Copy, and it gives me the ability to copy others' Quirks. However, I don't always have someone with a useful Quirk at my disposal. So I bring these with me." He produced a statue that looked like some kind of green knight. "I touch the bottom of this statue, and..." He touched the bottom with one finger. Instantly, he transformed. He was now around six foot four, and had two curved swords at his sides, as well as his hair having changed to a platinum blonde. "Voila."

The students gasped. Tsu cocked her head. "Ribbit! What abilities can you use with those?"

"Currently, I believe there are sixteen or seventeen. They vary. Some are elemental, others are melee attacks, others change my actual form."

"Is it physically possible to use more than one at a time?" Kacchan was on a roll today.

"With enough training, I will indeed be able to combine my attacks. However, if I do it right now, I will suffer an attack similar to a stroke, but entirely in my brain. As a result, I can only use one at a time. That's alright, because I usually only need one to do a job. However, there is one other side effect."

He turned back into his normal form. "When I use one of these statues, I become a totally different person, with a completely different personality. When one of my personas isn't in use, it uses my brain as a host. Having seventeen people inside me takes a big toll on my mind, and I get migraines a lot. So if I hold my head when I'm near you, it's not because you're boring, it's because I'm in pain."

Ashido almost fainted. "He's adorable, and his Quirk is amazing! I like him already!" she whispered to Yuga.

"Oui, well, you will have to decide which him you like pretty soon, because the other girls are beginning to see him the way you do, if I am seeing them right."

Yuga really didn't appear to be seeing the other girls right. Ochako was listening attentively, but didn't look lovestruck, at least not as much as Ashido. Momo Yaoyorozo wasn't even listening. Tsu looked completely deadpan, as ever, and Toru was... well, invisible. Kyoko Jiro was the only girl who looked mildly interested in Jaxon's looks, but that was only visible through a slight smirk.

Minoru Mineta, who was silent until now, spoke up. "What happens to your mind when you copy someone else's Quirk?"

"Good question." Jaxon nodded. "Usually, nothing happens. However, when I copy someone with an ability similar to one of mine, such as..." He looked around. "Who among you has elemental Quirks, like fire, ice, water, or electricity?"

Kacchan, Todoroki, and Kaminari raised their hands.

Jaxon nodded at Kacchan. "You. Uh, the blonde. What's your Quirk? Something to do with fire?"

"Explosions."

"Perfect." Jaxon turned back to the class. "Say I were to copy him. I would turn into my Fire personality, since his Quirk involves fire. However, my moveset would be more of a mix between mine and his."

All Might stepped in. "Alright, that's enough grilling for one day. We need to get to our lesson. Today, we'll be doing..." He pulled a card out of his pocket. "Rescue training!" He motioned to Jaxon. "While I explain, you can take a seat. Next to Midoriya, I believe there's an empty one. Unless that's Toru's seat."

"I'm wearing a uniform!" Toru whined, halfway across the room from the empty seat. "You should be able to see me!"

All Might laughed. "We all make mistakes! Now, have a seat."

Jaxon obeyed, sitting next to Izuku. The boy had one hand on his head, as he'd explained, but he was staring intently at All Might, listening to the instructions.

"Alright, here's what's going down today! You will be taken by bus to an off-campus facility. Unfortunately, I will be unable to join you there in person, as I have a lot of paperwork I need to fill out because of our new hero-in-training. Mr. Aizawa will be taking my place, but I'll make sure he's not too much of a... how did you word it, Ms. Asui?"

"Buzzkill." Tsu twirled her finger by her head.

"Ah, yes. Anyways, in this facility, you will be trained on how to handle rescue missions in a large number of disasters, such as windstorms, landslides, wildfires, shipwrecks, and more."

Jaxon raised his hand. "Quick question," he said weakly. "Shouldn't the missions involve combat too?"

"Erm... why do you say that?" asked All Might.

"Well, one of the situations you named was a shipwreck. Don't villains cause a lot of those? Landslides and fires, too, depending on their Quirks. It would make a lot more sense and train us a lot more thoroughly if we had to take out mock villains in some of these trials as well. Not all of them, but the ones that could be man-made."

All Might was speechless for a second. Finally he gathered his wits. "That's... an excellent point. I suppose, ideally, that is how it should be done. However, to create mock villains for the exercise would cost much more money and resources-"

"Then another idea is, split the students up, like you did with the battles. Put teams of two 'hero' students against one 'villain'. The ultimate goal will be either to take out the opposing side, or for the heroes, to rescue every target. The heroes will try to rescue as many people as possible, while the villain will try to stop them, as well as to capture them."

The entire class was staring at Jaxon at this point. This time, Ashido really did faint.

All Might cleared his throat and stared in wonder. "You... seem to know a lot about these sorts of exercises," he exclaimed.

"Well, no, but my dad was a pro hero for a long time. He wasn't famous, but he was pretty successful. He taught me everything he knew."

"Well, then! I will take your advice into account!" All Might's grin widened. "To the buses!"

The class got up and began to file toward the door. Ochako and Izuku stayed behind. Mainly to wake up the still-unconscious Ashido, but also to talk to Jaxon.

"Well, like All Might said, welcome to the UA!" Izuku exclaimed, while Ochako tried to wake Ashido up.

"Thanks." Jaxon got up and walked over to Ashido. "I think I know how to do this," he murmured. He pulled another statue out of his pocket. This one looked like a set of pointed, blue diamonds. He touched the bottom of the statue, and his skin and hair turned blue. He took a deep breath and blew a cloud of frost in Ashido's direction.

She shivered and woke up. "Ochako? What's-" She saw Jaxon (or Chill, as this form was known,) and almost passed out again.

"Hey, don't conk out on me again!" Ochako exclaimed. "We're getting on the buses for rescue training."

"Alright..." Ashido got up, a bit wobbly. She glanced at Chill and blushed. "Th-thanks," she said, almost breathless, both from the cold and from the fact that the cutest guy she'd ever seen had just indirectly given her CPR. She smiled, murmured something under her breath, and walked to the door, running into the side of the doorway on her way out.

Chill glanced at Ochako. "She always like that?" he murmured, his voice considerably lower than normal.

"No. Usually, she's really enthusiastic and bubbly. I don't know what's gotten into her..." In reality, she knew, and it was pretty obvious what had gotten into Ashido, but for Jaxon's sake, she wouldn't say it yet. She grinned at him. "See you on the bus!" she exclaimed, bouncing away.

"She's one to talk..." Chill chuckled to himself, then turned to Izuku and switched back to his base form.

Izuku smiled warmly. "That's a pretty insane Quirk you've got there."

"It's not that awesome. What's yours?" Jaxon asked.

"Well..." Izuku tried to think of an explanation that didn't give away the secret of One For All. "I can increase my physical strength for a couple seconds at a time, but if I attack or do pretty much anything during that time, I'm basically out of commission."

"Oh, yeah! I watched some of the practical exam tapes. You're the guy who took out the big baddie, right? Shattered a few of your bones in the process?"

"Well, if that's how you want to remember me, then sure! My name's Izuku Midoriya."

"Nice to meet you, Midoriya," Jaxon answered. "We should get going, huh?"

The two walked out of the classroom and rejoined their classmates at the bus terminal, where Iida was yelling out orders about how to board the buses. He seemed to be doing fine, until Koji Koda noticed- "Uh, um, Iida? The b-buses have open-floor plans..."

Iida stood stock still for a moment, then sighed and boarded his bus without another word.

Izuku sat between Asui and Ochako. Jaxon was in the back left window seat. He looked out the window at the passing scenery, trying not to get carsick. He didn't notice that Tsu was trying to get his attention until she gave him a whap with her 20-meter tongue.

"Ribbit! Jaxon? Are you okay?" She looked worried, which was unusual, because it was very rare for her to betray any sort of emotion. "Your face is green."

"Your hair is green, and I don't see anyone else complaining," Jaxon murmured. He shook his head. "Sorry. I'm just getting one of my signature migraines. Comes with a lot of things. Bus rides are one of them."

Tsu grinned. "That's fine. Most of us get headaches pretty often too." She glanced around, as if trying to get someone to respond

Kaminari picked up the joke where she left off. "Usually when Baka-gou over there is shooting his mouth off."

"What did you say, punk?!" Kacchan yelled, sitting up instantly. "Don't make me come over there!" Jaxon could instantly tell that this wasn't a joke.

"See? Like that. Man, it's already splitting." Kaminari held his head in both hands. "You've got some kind of gift, Kacchan, and it's a dark one."

"I'll crush you, twerp!" Kacchan snapped. "Don't think I won't! You're no match for me!"

"Yeah, if being an annoying bully was a contest," piped up Eijiro Kirishima.

As the students bickered, Jaxon smiled. "I like you people already," he murmured, still looking out the window.

Give or take, he thought.
