Even though UA is known for its well-established Pro Hero course, it still was like any other school. Basic courses were taught like math, the history of quirks, quirk biology and so on. Some classes were a bit more difficult and often Chloe had to write down the word to translate later. Many times, the English teacher, Present Mic, would use Chloe to have others practice their English. Surprisingly everyone did well, and she used this time to practice her Japanese. Two students that Chloe got to know unfortunately all too well was Kaminari and Mineta. It didn't go unnoticed, that most of their sentences were flirtatious catch phrases. I died a little each time Chloe shuddered. Other than that, classes were pretty much normal and boring, she remembered telling the Orca during breakfast.

At noon they all ate at the grand hall which Chloe and Uraraka found to be huge for any normal cafeteria. It became clear that they had a lot more in common than they think. Growing up with lower income was something that Chloe completely related to and discussed about the craziest things they've done to save money. Most of the students in class 1-A ate lunch together or rather eat alone. Ida, Midoriya and Uraraka sat in one section usually while Chloe and Tysu were not too far away from them. Everyone pretty much sat anywhere that had space.

"I've been meaning to ask, are you a vegetarian, ribbit" Tysu asked staring at her plate. Everything on her tray were filled with mostly veggie wraps, and bowls of fruits. Chloe nodded "Yeah, once you've turned into most animals, it doesn't feel right eating meat again, and I never felt good afterwards"

"Do you crave what other animals might eat though? Having a quirk that gives me all the abilities of a frog there are certain diets that others find to be gross, ribbit" Tysu said slightly blushing.

"Most definitely, especially if I stayed in the form for too long. I remembered being a dog for nearly a day and I still think nobody appreciates how awesome it feels to stick your head out the window" Chloe grinned as Tysu laughed. Many of their conversation were spent asking what it's like to be a certain animal and only briefly they discussed about Chloe's hometown. She would reply that it was pretty ordinary keeping the discussion short. This didn't go unnoticed from Tysu but didn't press any further.

"Hey Chloee, want to have lunch" Kaminari winked flirtatiously. Chloe couldn't help but let out an annoyed sigh. This guy needs an off switch she groaned internally.

"Already ate" Chloe said shortly revealing that there was nothing on her plate besides leftovers.

"Crap. I hate being last in line. It seems like everyone is almost done" Kaminari groaned trudging over to a seat next to Sero and Mineta.

"That guy can't take a hint, ribbit" Tysu shook her head sadly.

"You got that right" Chloe sighed grabbing her tray to empty into the trash. Tysu followed behind as they walked back to homeroom waiting for their next class to start. Chloe and Tysu found students already inside with one of them being Bakugo, and two other students that Chloe recognized from the Recommendation Entrance Exam. Neither one of them spoke to her and seemed way to high in the upper class for her to even try. Either way it's not like at the time she could held up a conversation. She remembered the dark ponytail female student to be somewhat stuck up and found to be like the male version of Ida. Todoroki was a complete asshole toward one of the students. And not obnoxiously loud bad mouthing Bakugo type of asshole. The worst kind of asshole that is completely cold and not worthy to be in his perimeter.

"What did you have for lunch?" Chloe asked her favorite Pomeranian not so friendly classmate.

"Why the fuck do you care? Are you a nutritionist or something" Bakugo said always beginning every conversation with an insult. Chloe was completely use to it by now and easily ran with it.

"No but being a nutritionist was a close second" she grinned. It seems like everything that Bakugo threw at her she would find a way to build up the conversation. Chloe didn't know why she was drawn to Bakugo. She could simply ignore him and spend most of her conservation with Tysu but here she was talking to him again. Despite Bakugo's failed attempts to insult her, he didn't show any effort to end the conversation.

More students began to fill the room as Chloe's eyes wander around the classroom. She always felt the need to check her surroundings even though UA high is the safest place anyone could be at. Chloe couldn't help it though. Living in one of the highest ratings of criminal activities in the world, she knew better to never leave her guard down. She briefly locked eyes on Todoroki but was interrupted by the screaming of Bakugo "BAKA! Its your turn"

"Right. And No" She smirked drawing the body of a hangman on the side of her textbook. He had couple of words right but he's missing one important vowel.

"O" He answered confidently.

"You win" She smirked wider revealing the mystery English word. It wasn't hard to persuade Bakugo to play a simple game of hangman. She convinced him it was all good fun and practice for their upcoming exam. The word LOSERwas written out in large letters and of all the English vocabs that he knew this was one of them. Bakugo was ready to lunge at her but was entirely blocked when Ida saw the textbook to be vandalized.

"Chloe that is highly against school code! Books are meant to be read not drawn on!" Ida said once again making his famous hand gesture. Chloe let out a sigh rather wanting to face Bakugo's wrath than to hear Ida complain.

"I get it" Her voice sounding slightly more annoyed than she intended. "But let's be honest reading about being hero isn't better than the experience"

"Even if that's so we must respect the integrity of the school's property! Now EVERYONE SIT-DOWN CLASS IS ABOUT TO BEGIN!" He yelled.

"You're the only person standing" Chloe answered watching Ida's face turn pale in shock. He hurried back to his desk seconds before the bell rang. She often wondered what would happen if he didn't make it to his desk on time. Will his world collapse? Chloe didn't have time to put much thought into it as she heard large footsteps heading their way.

"IT'S MEEEE!... THROUGH THE DOOR. LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" All Might burst through the classroom. Chloe's golden eyes gleamed seeing one of her favorite heroes right in front of her! All Might was much larger and awesome than on her tiny television back at home. Most people told her that she was never going to meet All Might but here she was standing not even two feet away.

"Let's get right to it! THE TRIAL OF BATTLE! And to go with your first battle, we've prepared the gear we had you send in request for to match your quirk!" Costumes are what many new heroes felt to be the most exciting part about being a hero. It's how you want to present yourself to the public and once your Pro it forever sticks. Everyone grabbed the suitcase that matched the number they were given. Chloe chose a simple outfit that consist of a dark yellow crop top and black shorts. Since her quirk consist of transformation, she needed her clothes to be light weight and adjust to whatever species she transforms to. She did find faint tiger animal prints on her shirt giving a hint already of what her quirk is.

"AND DON'T FORGET! FROM HERE ON OUT YOU'RE OFFICALLY HEROS!


Everyone had gathered around from what was supposed to be where the trial to take place. Chloe has never been to this arena unlike the others who weren't recommended. It looked like a real-life city that could have actual people living in them. Chloe was standing next to Tysu whose costume was very fitting to Tysu personality. Midoriya's costume reminded her of a bunny costume and Ida's costume was surprisingly cool.

"Sensei! Regarding the performance ground we'll be using, is it the Mock- City from the entrance exam?" Ida questioned. Cool costume but same old Ida Chloe smiled to herself.

"You'll see- in fact, take two steps and you'll be there! This will be an indoor battle trial!" All might announce. Chloe didn't find this to be shocking knowing all too well that most villains worked better in closed doors. It's the best way to smuggle or murder anyone. No one can report anything if there aren't any eyewitness.

All Might began to explain the course of the trial in which pairs will be grouped into villains or heroes. If you're a villain, guarding the nuclear weapon is basically top priority while the heroes must either capture or 'detonate the nuclear weapon' by touching it. Teams were chosen by a lottery and Chloe was hoping that Tysu would be her partner. Reaching into the box she pulled out a ball with the letter F. She was disappointed to find it wasn't her frog friend considering it would be easier to work with someone you already know. She found her partner to be the extremely tall and muscular tannish male student. His costume was brightly yellow in contrast to hers that was a much darker theme outfit.

"It looks like we're partners" Chloe said pointing at the matching letters that was written on the ball. When it came down to who they were up against, it turned out to be Mineta and Momo who were the villains.

"I never got to introduce myself. I'm Sato" He said ever so politely as they walked into the building.

"Chloe" She smiled "I don't know if you're up for it, but do you want to think of a strategy before it's our turn?" She asked. This trial was more up her alley considering for the first time in this scenario she was the hero and they were the villain.

"Of course, let's get down to it" He answered. She grinned eagerly not caring if her canine teeth were showing. Instead of being up close to the screen, Sato and Chloe stood back while the others watched Deku and Bakugo's crazy manly rivalry. Well mostly Bakugo's rivalry she thought sadly. It seems that Midoriya only admires Bakugo but to Bakugo it only means he's looking down on him.

Chloe should be concerned for Midoriya's wellbeing but considering that All Might was here, she didn't feel the need to worry. Ignoring the explosion as best as she can, they started talking about each other's quirk. Sato's quirk was his abnormal strength whenever he consumes sugar. For every gram of sugar, he eats, it extends his time and strength which is around 3 minutes. Three minutes was something Chloe could work with and possible even more.

"So are we going to capture or go straight for the weapon" Sato asked

"Why not do both" She said unable to withhold an eager smile as she looked at her opponents. Chloe had an idea of what her classmate's quirk was and from what she observed in the exams, Momo was intelligent. Even though Chloe was never the one to be the top of her class, she made up for in street smarts.

Before Chloe and Sato could go over their plan, a loud explosion shook the building. Sato and Chloe instantly stopped talking and turned their head towards the monitor. Midoriya had finally used his quirk and bust through all the floors with one move! In the next screen we could see Uraraka floating to the weapon by distracting Ida with the debris. They had won. Bakugo's expression was completely shocked and almost frozen in his position until All Might had quickly disappeared and was at his side.

Even though the heroes had won, the victory wasn't given entirely to them. Ida was in fact the winner because of his ability to adjust to the situation. Momo add her input sounding like she should be the one running the trial. Chloe tuned out most of the conversation that was held between her and All Might. She was staring at the screen observing the many floors, and windows. Adding plans just in case things turned for the worst in which 9 out of 10 they usually did.

The class was moved to a different building that was practically identical to the last one. The damage was too extensive and hazardous to even be inside the building let alone battle. Todoroki and Shoji group was up next along with Ojiro and Hagakure. The battle wasn't long and left the whole building in ice. Chloe made a mental note in never using any reptiles against Todoroki.

It seemed like everyone had gotten the chance to battle until finally it was her groups turn. Chloe had a difficult time containing her excitement. She felt like a caged animal that had finally got the chance to let lose. Momo was determined to win as well already perfecting her plan to keep Chloe and Sato away from the weapon. She didn't want to underestimate Chloe knowing that she was also recommended like her. Momo had mixed feeling towards Chloe since she first saw her at the exams. She had the urge to befriend her, but she was also a potential rival when taking the exam. Rivalry won since they were both aiming for the same school at the time and now, they were competing to win once again.

Villains were given the chance to enter the building first before the heroes had the chance to step in. The timer had started as soon as they entered the door. Chloe knew that the first thing that Momo was most likely going to do was barricade the door. She didn't want to assume that though. Instead she played it safe, morphing into a regular common pigeon she saw that entered the arena. She knew that there was a window on the first floor and flew. Sato knew not to use his quirk until he made to the top floor. Instead, he briefly waited for Chloe to return.

Being a bird was probably one of her favorites when it came down to choosing what kind of animals she wanted to transform to. The exhilaration of the wind flowing between her feathers made her feel free. Careful not to be spotted she saw Momo creating steal to keep the door shut. She also found many traps within, many of them being nets. Nets and traps weren't something that Chloe couldn't handle. Before Momo could turn around, she dived down and quickly morphed back to her human self.

"She laid out traps, smart cookie" Chloe said walking carefully down the hall. "The plan still should work but if doesn't will wing it" She shrugged. Sato sighed thinking that she had a plan B of some sort. Beginning the plan in trying to enter through the top floor by going through the vent. Chloe flew out the window once more to the top of the roof. She found the main air vent that led straight to the top floor. Morphing to the smallest rodent, she squeezed right in.

"W-what if they break in" Mineta stuttered. Chloe was inside scurrying on the pipe observing her opponents from above. There was only two entrance, the window and the door. Either one had a laid-out trap. Getting to the weapon was easy. All she would have to do was dismantled the traps around the weapon and touch it. Capturing her opponents will be difficult. In the room was nothing but crates and a large thick sheet. It was then Chloe began to realize that the only source of light was the window. I bet it'll get pretty dark Chloe smirked to herself. Carefully coming down the pipes and avoiding all sorts of net traps. She made it to the dark blue sheet behind the crates and whispers "Now Sato"

Sato began pushing to break through the door. On the second push he heard Mineta screams. Momo was so focus on the one door not realizing that Chloe was openly breaking all the traps from inside. On the second push, Momo was starting to create from what looks like a canon. Using the nails from the crates, she flew to the window with the nails in her beak while the dark blue sheet was carried by her claws. Morphing back and forth to different animals were weighing down on her body but time was fixing to run out. Now transformed to gorilla she swung on the pipes and had the sheet cover the window creating total darkness.

Time to play Chloe smiled darkly. Mineta screamed louder unable to see anything and only hearing the loud noise of Sato pushing hard against the door. Instantly Momo quickly created dark vision goggles for herself and her partner. Letting a low growl as she saw her prey begin to squirm, Mineta squealed when he saw the tiger above the crate, yellow eyes glowing. Sato finally busted through letting out a burst of natural light in. The pain of the light directing through the night goggles disoriented them giving Sato a one way to the weapon and Chloe to easily tie up her opponents.

"HERO WINS"

Momo sighed heavily in defeat as she finally took of the goggles. Chloe in her normal human form was standing in front of her. Chloe wasn't sure what to say and didn't want to end anything on a bad note. She held out her hand in which Momo was surprised to find.

"Uh- good job?" Chloe said almost in a question. She wasn't sure what to say after the battle but didn't want to come off as bad sportsmanship. Momo shook her hand, her facial expression completely professional.

"I should be saying that to you. I see why you were given a recommendation" She said her expression soften. Chloe was amazed to see that Momo wasn't this stuck up serious teenage girl. She had the appearance that most kids judged to be mean and sadly Chloe did the same thing to her. Together they walked back to the main building, chatting about the recommendation entrance exam.

"I'm sorry if I came out rude during the exams. I really wanted to get into this school" Momo started but Chloe held out her hand to stop. "Don't even worry about it. I wouldn't want to be making friends either during that exam. Beside whatever you said , I didn't even understand" Chloe chuckled. The group made it to their peers and found them to be overly excited.

"That was awesome Chloe! I didn't even think about how some animals can see in the dark!" Midoriya said purely happy for her friend in winning the battle.

"Yeah, you looked pretty ruthless Chloe" Kaminari pointed at the screen that froze where Mineta screamed and Chloe appeared ready to pounce.

"Yeah I may have went a bit overboard" Chloe smiled sheepishly as she nervously rubbed her arm. Chloe knew the dangers of transforming into a dangerous predator can sometimes be hard to control. Luckily, her classmates didn't know that.

"Nonsense, you handled that perfectly" Momo said setting her hand on Chloe's shoulder. Sato nodded his head in agreement "You did great Chloe"

"We did great" Chloe reminded him. All Might rushed in front of the students to announce the results, but Chloe could honestly care less. Her team won and that's what mattered to her. Hiding behind the crowd, Mineta pushed through. "So besides Chloe, who else was recommended?" Mineta questioned remembering Momo and Chloe's conversation.

"Ribbit, you were recommended?" Tysu said a bit shockingly. Chloe didn't think it was a big deal at the time. She knew that anything was better to leave the situation she was in back at home. It didn't really occur to her that being recommended was offered rarely.

"I was spotted during gym practice back at home" Chloe lied knowing damn well that is not what happened. Before more students could ask questions, All Might had loudly dismissed the class. Chloe wasn't sure who else knew about her situation back at home. It was clear that All Might knew at least and was ready to push the students out the window for all he cared.


After All Might had gave a brief congrats to his students, everyone headed back to the school. Apparently, everyone was ecstatic over Midoriya and Bakugo's battle. Chloe followed the crowd to check on Midoriya briefly and turned back to find Bakugo. She found her walking buddy already leaving.

"Bakugo" She called out, but this didn't make him turn around. Chloe had to admit this irked her a bit. She caught up to him halfway seeing his eyes darkly hidden. "Bakugo" She said again. This time he stopped walking and stood much taller.

"So, you were recommended" He said his fist clenched "And all this time you were looking down on me just like that damn Deku. Next time if we're ever matched against each other. I'm taking you down." Bakugo said deadly leaving Chloe behind again with confusion and annoyance. This time she did not follow. She knew hearing her recommendation struck a core to his ego and seeing her face wasn't going to help. From here on, they weren't classmates but rivals.
