Monoma's POV
When they arrived at the training deck with the other hero course, the stupid class A, Monoma couldn't help but notice how chatty the new students were towards each other, despite being in rival classes. They spoke in English, of course, about anything and everything, except for the fact that they were in the future.
Monoma also noticed that the hero costumes for these new students were somewhat… boring. They all had a very grey or dark colour palette and didn't seem to be wearing anything that showed what their quirks were. Whether that was good or bad, Monoma didn't know.
The first was Thalia Grace, the youngest looking girl, but also the most mature one. She was wearing a silver parka with rolled up sleeves, with ripped jeans and some leather boots that were strapped onto her legs with several silver belt buckles. A crown adorned her forehead and she had a bow and quiver tied on her back, accompanied by a long, fully silver spear.
Next was Piper, a cute girl of native heritage. She had a silver parka identical to Thalia's, which she kept unzipped to reveal a blue shirt tucked into her dark grey skirt. The skirt reached down to right above Piper's knees, and below that, she had simple brown hiking boots with spikes on the soles. She had a black mask over the bottom portion of her face that covered her nose and mouth. Her choppy brown hair was bunched up into a messy braid with many colourful beads and feathers inside it.
Leo Valdez was wearing what seemed like the most hero-like costume. It some dark brown pants and a dress shirt of the same colour, the sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and the bottom of the pants were rolled up to reveal his ankles. Valdez has some basic black sneakers on, and a tool belt adorned his waist. Beside all that, he had bronze wrist and ankle cuffs, as well as shoulder and knee pads of the same material. They seemed lightweight despite them being metals, and almost shone with pure power. A pair of welding goggles were strapped on his head and had been pulled up to his forehead, acting a bit like a headband that kept his messy hair from curling every which way.
Last was Zhang; he wore a red shirt under a dark, greyish-blue sweater. Some simple ripped camouflage jeans adorned his legs, then some black boots with spikes on the bottom. Black aviator glasses covered his eyes, making it impossible to look at them. If Zhang had been wearing a leather jacket and boots, Monoma would've probably run away thinking he was from a biker gang or something. He was extremely intimidating without even trying, and it didn't help that he was a good head taller than everyone else there.
Just as Monoma was about to go walk over to the foreigners, the teachers called all the students to them. Aizawa, stupid Class 1A's teacher, spoke in a bored voice.
"Today, you'll be working on finding villains in disguise amongst citizens. For that, we will be creating three groups with eight people in them. You will all take turns acting like heroes trying to find villains while on patrols, so don't worry. If three villains are captured, the heroes win. If all the villains complete their tasks, the villains win. If heroes wrongly capture three citizens instead of villains, the heroes lose. Now, All Might will call out the first hero team."
The skeletal version of Monoma's idol walked in front of them and listed out the names of the people in the first hero team.
"For the first hero team, here's the people you will stick together with during your patrols. Todoroki and Monoma, Iida and Thalia, Bakugou and Leo, and Mina and Kodai. All four of your groups will find a random building at different spots in the false city and only come out when the horn sounds. Now go!"
Monoma quickly found the loser son of Endeavour and ran with him through the city. Todoroki didn't speak to him at all the entire time; the nerve of some people! They eventually entered a fake police station and went inside, then sat down as to wait in tense silence for the horn to sound.
Piper's POV
After the hero team ran off, four people among the remaining students were meant to be chosen as villains.
"The villains are going to be Mcclean, Tokoyami, Midoriya, and Kuroiro. You will each be given a task to go accomplish. Mcclean, you are to retrieve a gold ring from an alleyway. Tokoyami, you have to capture the civilian indicated on a card you will pick after the explanation. Midoriya, you must go cause traffic at a busy intersection in any way you see fit. Kuroiro, you need to mug three citizens of your choice."
The skeleton then pulled out some cards and showed them to Tokoyami, who nodded at the victim he was told to capture.
"Everyone else is a civilian. You can travel alone, or with a maximum of two other civilians. If a villain captures or mugs you, you're not allowed to fight them. That's the hero's job. You're allowed to call for help, that's all."
After reading what the skeleton man said, Piper nodded quickly and got herself ready to try and find the golden ring the horn rang out, and the villains and citizens started to run or walk through the city.
Narrator POV
The students ran around through the falsetto city, trying to accomplish their goals or to act like simple civilians. After fifteen minutes of the game, the Heroes started to panic. Bakugou and Leo were bursting into any building they could in an attempt to catch a villain doing something bad. Thalia and Iida were going up to whoever they saw on the streets and interrogated them thoroughly, despite Thalia wanting to go follow her instincts and run after the people who seemed to be in a hurry to get somewhere. Mina and Kodai were too scared of messing up to work properly, and instead watched for any obviously villainous behaviour. Todoroki and Monoma would have done pretty good, if Monoma didn't despise class A, and in consequence, his teammate. Everytime Todoroki wanted to take the lead, Monoma did the opposite of what his partner said.
On the villain side, things were going great. Piper had already retrieved her ring and was strutting along the streets of the faux city, charmspeaking any hero who intercepted her into leaving. Tokoyami was sitting on a rooftop, Frank tied up and humming calmly beside him. Midoriya had been searching everywhere to try and find some traffic, and when he finally did, he destroyed the street lights and piled them in the middle of the large intersection. Kuroiro only had one last person left to mug for the villains to win the game.
Thalia ended up finding Piper next. After her charmspeak worked only on Iida, but was ineffective on Thalia due to her power over controlling and seeing through the mist, Thalia wacked Piper on the head with the butt of her spear.
"If you're trying to charmspeak me of all people, it's obvious you haven't been taking your training into consideration," The daughter of Zeus groaned out as she snapped her fingers, Iida breaking out of his trance. Thalia quickly apprehended Piper, tying the daughter of Aphrodite's hands behind her back.
Iida spoke up after the interaction between both Americans.
"Let's bring her back to the starting point while some of the others search for more villains. Though, I must ask, how did you break away from her quirk, Grace?"
Thalia chuckled and wrote something one-handedly on her translator, "Her quirk focuses on making people so enamoured in trying to please her that they'll do anything for her. The more they find her attractive, the better it works. But for someone like me who doesn't feel any kind of attraction towards anyone, I'm completely immune."
Of course, that was stretching the truth extremely far, since Thalia was only partially immune, and that was because she was skilled with the mist's power. Thankfully, Iida caught the bait and nodded as if it all made perfect sense.
Thalia quickly used a bandage inside her coat pocket to gag Piper, as to stop her from controlling anyone as they led her out of the fake city and sat her down at the teachers' feet. Before the adults could respond, Thalia dragged Iida back onto the training field.
Yelling and blasts were heard in the distance before they saw Bakugou running to the teachers with a half unconscious and messily tied up Midoriya over his shoulder in a fireman hold. Leo was lazily flanking the explosion hero, obviously worried about the curly-haired greenhead's blast marks. Midoriya weakly held up a thumbs up at Thalia and Iida as he was carried off.
After another five minutes, a loud horn sounded and all the hero trainees walked back to the city entrance, except for Frank, who was brought to the entrance by dark shadow carrying him, since Tokoyami wanted it to be obvious that he had succeeded in fulfilling his objective.
Once every student had returned in front of the teachers, All Might spoke up.
"From the looks of it, this seems to be a win on the villains' part, despite two of them getting captured. All four of them managed to finish their tasks, some way or another. As for the winner of this round, that is most definitely going to be Mclean; even though she was captured in the end, she swiftly and efficiently looked through the city and found the single ring she was meant to be looking for. After finding it, she was able to completely get people's attention off of her using her charmspeak quirk. It's pure luck that Grace was somehow immune to the power, therefore catching Mclean off guard and attacking her. Good work everyone! It's time for the last round."
The students all yelled out their approval and quieted down for All Might to call in the new teams.
The second round passed by much faster than the first and ended up leaving Piper and Todoroki as the MVPs of that day's training. After the hero classes left the training deck, Leo and Frank started getting bombarded by questions in the men's changing room.
They were all generic questions; some were about the boys' powers, others were about the past, and an overwhelming majority were about the two other girls who had joined the hero course with them. The questions only became more annoying when Leo let it slip that they had two other girls who were in the general course as well. At that point, the two demigods slipped nervously out of the changing rooms to avoid further questioning.
The boys hung around outside the building, waiting for the girls to come out from the changing rooms and their classes. Eventually, they spotted Annabeth and Rachel, walking towards them while talking to a gloomy kid with crazy purple hair.
The girls trotted up to Frank and Leo, and Rachel spoke up.
"Guys, this is Hitoshi! He's a really cool guy. Apparently, he's trying to get into the hero course"
Frank waved awkwardly at the new acquaintance, while Leo simply nodded his head. The next to come out were Thalia, Piper, and just about all the girls in the hero course. They were chatting while the two demigods were using their translators.
When Piper spotted the guys, she smiled and waved at them, then ran over with Thalia.
"That was so fun today! It really felt like some of the training at camp!" She said excitedly while waving the girls over.
A pink girl with pink hair, horns, and black eyes spoke to them in Japanese, her voice showing off her hyperactive personality.
"We're gonna throw a party for you guys at the A dorm! That goes for the girls in the general course too. We really want to get to know you better!"
Frank smiled and wrote in his translator before speaking, "That's really nice of you guys. We'll be sure to come after getting ready at our respective dorms."
The pink girl squealed in delight and went back to the group of girls, repeating what Frank had said.
It didn't take long before all six survivors from the past were dragged off to the dorms by their classmates, confused and disheveled.
The pink girl – Ashido Mina, yelled out as she stood in front of the new students.
"Tonight, we're gonna party hard! Also, tomorrow's Saturday."
