Chapter 10

Location; U.A. High School

Time; 12:30 GMT

(A/N Beware. This chapter is going to be long as heck)

All the students of Class 1-A were staring at Izuku. Most of them started cheering, throwing their fists in the air.

"He threw it over 700 meters!"

"Nice. He's finally showing us his true powers!"

"But his finger appears to be broken now, just like in the entrance exam. His quirk is very odd, or he's just not used to it yet." Tenya Iida added, analyzing Izuku. Katsuki stood there, dumbfounded. His jaw was dropped open. What the hell was that? If he had a Quirk then he would've shown me it when we were kids. This is impossible.

James helped Izuku off of the ground since he tackled him. The two started laughing and distributing high-fives with each other. All of the sudden, they heard a voice yelling at them. The two turned to see Katsuki was running straight towards them.

"Hey! DEKU, YOU BASTARD! TELL ME HOW YOU DID THAT OR YOUR DEAD!" Katsuki yelled. Izuku squealed loudly while James got into a fighting stance. James was about to land a deadly blow to Katsuki's face until something grabbed him, it was holding him back.

Aizawa's scarfs had wrapped around Katsuki, holding him back. Aizawa looked annoyed. He was struggling, keeping an outreached hand.

"What? Why the hell is your damn scarfs so strong?" Katsuki asked, looking back.

"Because it's a capture weapon made out of carbon fiber and a special metal alloy. Stand down. It'd wise to stop making me use my Quirk so much, it gives me serious dry eyes." Aizawa grumbled, his eyes were red. Izuku and James gulped, looking at him. Aizawa let go of Katsuki and his scarfs retracted back into their natural place.

"You're wasting my time now. Whoever's next can step up." Aizawa said, with the wave of his hand, walking away. Izuku and James walked away, almost running away from Katsuki. James knew that he was afraid of Katsuki, but he would do anything to defend Izuku.

After the small encounter with Katsuki. The rest of the day had been them finishing up their physical fitness tests. Which was a bunch of basic tests of sit-ups, seated-toe touch & long-distance run, James would always be one point behind Izuku. Which kind of made him upset but he didn't say anything. After all of the tests, Aizawa gathered all the students to give them the report of how they did today.

"All right, time to give you your results. I've ranked you all from best to worst. You should probably have a good idea of your standing already. I'll just pull up the entire list. It's not worth going over induvial scores." Aizawa said. James felt Izuku shift uncomfortably. He was shaking slightly. All the students knew that whoever was rank the lowest was going to get expelled from the Hero Course. With the click from Aizawa's phone, everybody score had appeared. James looked at everyone's score to see that he was placed at the bottom, underneath Izuku. Which was to be expected, James hadn't shown off any potential skills. He sighed and looked at his feet. I look like a complete failure. Izuku turned to look at James, he bit his lip. He wanted to reassure the smaller teen but he didn't.

"And I was lying, no one is going home." Aizawa finished. Everyone looked at him dumbfounded. James started to laugh as he rubbed the back of his head. Of course. I should've remembered this. Lately, I've been having a hard time remembering what happens in the show. James thought.

"That was pretty intense huh?" A student called out.

"Nah. I'm always done for a challenge. The students started talking and Aizawa called James and Izuku over, he was holding a pass in his hand.

"Take this and go have the old lady fix you up," Aizawa muttered, handing the paper to Izuku. Izuku nodded and the two boys went off.

The two boys were finally out of school. Izuku was groaning, his head down. "Ugh, I'm so tired." He groaned. James snickered and punched his arm softly. "Well obviously. Don't you remember what the nurse told you?" Izuku opened up his mouth to say something until he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned around to see Iida standing right behind him. James turned around too.

"Oh Hi there Iida," Izuku said.

"How's the broken finger doing?" He questioned.

"O-Oh. It's doing fine thanks to recovery girl." Izuku said, smiling and holding up his bandaged finger.

"Yeah. She got lips all over Izuku." James smirked. Izuku gave James a dirty look before Iida started talking again when they were walking.

"I was a bit concerned from 's approach in class. But I trust the school's judgment. U.A. Is the top program. Even so, lying is downright immoral." Iida said before staying quiet, he crossed his arms as he walked with the two teenage boys.

"Hey! Wait up you three! Are you going to the station? I'll join up with you guys!" A girl said, running with her arms fully out to the three boys that were waiting for her now.

"Oh, you're the infinity girl," Iida said.

"I'm Ochaco Uraraka." She said with a bright smile on her face, stopping in front of the three boys.

"Let's see. You are Tenya Iida.

"And your name is Deku, right? Midoriya? And you're his sidekick?"

"Deku?!"Izuku exclaimed.

"Sidekick"?! James whined.

"Uh yeah, isn't that what Bakugo called you? During the fitness he said. Deku, you bastard. And I'm sorry I just don't know your name." Uraraka finished, pointing at James.

"Uh well. My name is actually Izuku, and that's James." Izuku muttered, a blush forming across his face. James let out a "tch" sound and crossed his arms.

"I'm sorry James!" She said, rubbing the back of her head, "But you know what. I like Deku. It could make a great hero name. Plus, I think it's kind of cute." Uraraka said, with a bright smile. In that same moment, Izuku's face lit up like a tomato.

"Deku it is!" Izuku shouted, James jaw dropped, annoyed.

"Just like that?! Weren't you saying it was an insult?" Iida said, confused and slightly annoyed too.

The four of them started to head home. The four of them had survived their first day at U.A. Even if James and Izuku kind of failed. But they both knew that All Might would be proud of them. The four of them. Well, the three of them, Izuku, Iida, and Uraraka were now becoming new friends. James on the other hand well, he wasn't great at making friends.

Night had fallen fairly quickly. The two boys read over the syllabus they had picked up after they left the nurse office. Izuku was busy scribbling in his notebook. While James was looking at the ceiling. The two of them hadn't said a word since they had gotten back from school. Izuku's mom had asked James if they were alright and all he had done was shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't mad or anything. He was just jealous of how Izuku reacted to Uraraka. It irked him in so many ways Izuku put his pencil down on the desk and turned towards James, and broke the silence that was happening between them.

"What's wrong? You haven't said a word to me since we got home." Izuku muttered, walking up to the bed. James ignored him and let out another "tch" sound. Annoyed. Izuku gritted his teeth and placed his hand on the boy's shoulder and shook him. James flinched slightly.

"Hey. Don't be like that. What the hell is your problem?" He said, starting to get frustrated with the other boy.

"Stop. Don't touch me."

"What's wrong?"

"Izuku, leave it alone, and get your fucking hand off of my shoulder."

"Just tell me. What's wrong?" The green-haired boy wasn't ready for what was going to happen next. The shorter boy turned and faced Izuku. He balled up his fist and slammed it into Izuku's nose. Stunned, Izuku fell to the ground. He held onto his nose that was now bleeding. Thanks to James.

"W-What W-Was that for?" Izuku said, gritting his teeth in pain. James slid off of the bed.

"Nothing is wrong. I told you not touch me." James muttered. There was pain in his eyes. Izuku looked up at him and started to feel bad. Oh god, I did something wrong didn't I? Izuku thought. He stood up from the ground, clenching his nose tightly so he didn't drip blood onto the ground. He looked down at James. While James looked up at him. He knew the smaller boy didn't mean to punch the shit out of him.

"I'm sorry for punching you," James whispered. Izuku nodded his head, he wrapped his arms around the smaller boy, embracing him in for a hug.

"It's okay. I understand…" He whispered back, he rubbed the James' back.

"I'm not mad. I just don't like how that girl was all over you. And I just suck at making friends."

"We barely even know Uraraka. She seems really nice. Along with Iida. Just give them a chance. What's the worst that could happen?" Izuku said, soothing the smaller boy. James shrugged his shoulders. He knew that they were kind. Right? He could barely remember a thing about the show. He could feel everything was going to change tomorrow because of him.

Time; 11:30 AM GMT

U.A. Hero course curriculum. There were many normal core classes, like English. The teacher for that class was Present Mic. He wasn't that good at being a teacher but nobody had complained. The English class had usually met in the morning. Then after all the classes, it was time to eat lunch. Now lunch, was actually pretty delicious. They had amazing food that was pretty cheap. And then, in the afternoon, It was finally time for them to go and take on the Hero Course in class 1-A; Hero Basic Training. When the students had entered the classroom, they reported to their assign seats immediately. Izuku and James sat right next to each other. So they had time to talk before the class was started. The class had gotten quiet when they heard the door open.

"I AM HERE! Coming through the door like a hero!" All Might announced, swinging the door open. All the students gasped in awe. Most of them hadn't seen All Might in person. All Might walked into the classroom, going up to the podium in the front. He had his signature smile on his face.

"Welcome to the most important class at U.A. High. Think of it as Hero-ing 101. Here, you will learn the basics of being a pro. And what it means to fight in the name of good! Today's lesson will pull no punches!" All Might said, holding up a piece of paper that had the words BATTLE written across it.

"OH YEAH! Fight training!" Katsuki announced, a bright smile going across his face.

"R-Real Combat?" Izuku said, biting his lip.

All Might then continue on with his speech. "But one of the keys of being a hero is… looking good!" All Might said, pointing to a wall where it had started to open. On the wall had glass, with numbers on it. The numbers that were on the glasses where they're assigned seats. (A/N Y'all are getting what I mean right? It's hard to explain. Just watch S1 E6 get what I mean) All the students cheered loudly.

"Costumes!" Izuku said, with a bright smile.

"Get yourselves suited up, and then meet me at Training Ground Beta!"

"Yes, Sir!"

Before each other students enrolled into U.A. High they submitted their Quirk registration forms; which included the following; physical measurements and any desired costume designs to an exclusive clothing company designated by the school. With all that info, they created state-of-the-art costumes for each of the students that were attending the school.

3 Weeks Ago

Location; Izuku's Apartment

Time; 2:30 PM GMT

Izuku was sitting on the purple couch, which was located inside of their living room. He had on a white hoodie, blue jeans, and white socks. Earlier that morning, James and his mom had gone out but they didn't tell him where they were going. So he remained kind of suspicious of the two of them but didn't really mind it. He was sorting quickly through the papers that had come in an envelope from the U.A. High, for him and James.

"I need to go down to city hall and get our registration forms for the clothing allowance." Izuku was muttering to himself. "But I'm already registered as having no Quirk. So isn't James but… Oh no, what should I do?" Izuku asked himself. He picked up his phone and called All Might. Within the first couple seconds of the phone ringing. All Might had answered. Izuku quickly told him about the problem that he was having.

"Quirk registration? Yeah, you can update that, not a problem."

"It's that easy!" Izuku screamed from the other end of the phone. All Might started laughing.

"You know how everyone's examined and registered when they enter elementary school? Well, there's plenty of cases where people discover that their Quirks aren't exactly what they thought they were at first. Of course, you're allowed to change your forms once or twice when you understand your Quirk better. Normally, they wouldn't really let you change it a lot but, if you had none before I'm pretty sure they're going to let you update that make sure you put down that James has a Quirk too. On the other hand, speaking of James, I was looking at James' records and it says that he never was examining or register-"

"Izuku! We're home!" James shouted loudly, closing the door that he had just entered. Izuku quickly presses the end button on his phone, ending the call with All Might.

"CRAP! I just hung up on All Might!" Izuku yelled out, a little bit too loud. He shrugged his phone quickly into his hoodie. Reminding himself that he would have to apologize for ending the call, But then another thought came into his head. Wasn't James examined or registered? But how? Izuku thought to himself. He had to also ask James about that. James and his mom opened up the door to see Izuku sitting on the couch. The two of them had a bright smile on their faces, James closed the door behind them

"Oh good. You're here." She said, putting her hand into the bag and started to dig something out. James stood right by her, smirking now. All of the sudden, she pulled out a green with white lines costume.

"Congratulations! I'm so proud of you got into U.A!

"Is that a costume?" Izuku said, standing up from the couch. He was now towering over the teenage boy and his mother.

"We both had might've jumped to conclusions a little bit, this morning, James and I made you food but you had already fallen asleep again. And James showed me your notebook."

"Seriously?!" He said, looking at James. He was now blushing.

"To be honest with you, I've been feeling really terrible lately. About something that I had said too you. I think you might have felt that I had given up on you. But now look at you. You persevered and kept chasing that dream of yours. I'm sorry Izuku. And I promise. I'll support the two of you with everything I've got from now on!" She said, pushing the costume closer to Izuku. He grabbed the costume from his mom's hands and smiled. He wrapped his arms around his mom and James, pulling them both in for a tight hug.

"I love you guys so much!" Izuku said. James smiled and laughed a little bit. He felt his cheeks get hot with redness. He let go of hem and looked at James.

"Thank you, James. And also, we have to finish up your stuff for school." Izuku said, smiling at him. Right now isn't the best time to ask him. I'll ask him later on.

Location; Training Ground Beta

Time; 12:30 PM GMT

All the students were fully decked out in their hero costumes. Izuku was wearing the costume that was James and his mom had picked out and got for him. While James was decked out in his own hero costume. He wore a black jumpsuit. The entire jumpsuit was made from carbon fiber, he also had black knee pads, and elbow pads. He also wore black fingerless gloves. He had a belt around his waist, which carried two pairs of daggers on each side. James didn't need to be all flashy for everyone. He was fine with the hero costume that he had picked out. He stood close to Izuku, while Uraraka turned and looked at them with a smile.

"Oh, Hey Deku! Hi James!" Uraraka said, walking up to them.

"I love your costume, James. And yours too Izuku. Not too flashy." She said with a bright smile. Izuku was starting to sweat underneath his costume when he had seen what Uraraka was wearing. She blushed, rubbing the back of her head with her hand.

"I should've been more specific about what I wanted. This bodysuit is skin tight. Not really style." She said, laughing about it. All Might was now focused on the three of them. Oh God, It's so obvious!" All Might thought to himself as he saw the protruding bunny ears sticking up from Izuku's hero costume. He then looked away. Embarrassed and slightly annoyed and continued on with his class.

"Now that you're ready. It's time for combat training. This time you won't be conducting urbanized battles. This time you will be fighting two on two indoor battles. But one team will have an extra person. The best training is what you get on the battlefield!" All of the sudden, students were starting to call out all the questions to All Might,

"How badly can we hurt the other team?"

"Do we have to worry about getting expelled again?'

"Will you be splitting us up against based on chance or comparative skill?"

All Might at this point was frustrated with all the kids. All Might started digging into his pocket and pulled out a script.

"Listen up. The villains' have a hidden nuclear missile somewhere in their hideout. The heroes must try and foil their plans. To do that, the good guys either have to catch the evildoers or recover the weapon. Likewise, the bad guys will obviously if they protect their payload or capture the heroes." All Might announced, he then grabbed a box.

"Time is very limited, and we'll choose teams by picking lots!"

"Isn't there a better way?" Iida asked.

"Think about it. Pro Heroes often have to team up with people from different agencies on the spot, so that's the reason we're seeing this here." Izuku said, answering his question. Iida nodded his head in agreement. He then bowed down to All Might.

"I'm sorry!"

"NO WORRIES. LET'S DRAW! All the students ran up to the box and started drawing lots. Then they looked at who they were with.

Team A: Izuku, James, Uraraka

Team B: Shoji, Todoroki

Team C: Mineta, Momo

Team D: Iida, Katsuki, ETC

"WOW. What are the chances? We're a team!" Uraraka shouted, with a big smile on her face. Instead of James giving his natural attitude he held up his hand. Uraraka delivered a high-five.

"This is going to be interesting," James said, with a smile. Uraraka nodded her head. While Izuku was panicking over being on a team with the two of them.

All Might was starting to dig into two boxes. One was labeled; VILLAIN and the other one was labeled; HERO.

"I declare that the first teams to fight will be… THESE GUYS!" All Might shouted. He held up a black ball and a white ball. The black ball was labeled D for Team D while the white ball had an A on it. Which was labeled for Team A. James started to shift uncomfortably. He knew that Katsuki was on team D.

"Team A will be the Heroes. While Team D will be the villains. Everyone else can head to the monitoring room to watch!" All Might announced, the rest of the students that weren't participating yet walked away with All Might. Izuku looked to see Katsuki, was glaring at him. He clenched his fist, biting down onto his lip. James and Uraraka walked up to Izuku's side, James giving him a death stare while Uraraka stood there, staring. Katsuki looked away, aggravated.

The bad guys were allowed to set up for five minutes. Then the good guys would be able to go in and stop them and the battle would start. Before the bad guys had walked into the building to set-up. All Might reminded them that if things go too far, that he would stop the battle between the five of them.

Izuku, James, and Uraraka stood outside, discussing their plan.

"Do you really think they expect us to memorize buildings' floor plan? It's so big!" Uraraka said, looking at a piece of paper that All Might had given them. James was also analyzing the paper, remembering where every floor was.

"You know. All Might is just as cool in person as he is on television. I'm glad he's not punishing us with some sort of crazy scheme like Mr. Aizawa did on the first day of school. We can relax-"Uraraka was saying before she turned to look at Izuku, who was profusely sweating through his jumpsuit. James looked over and snickered.

"Jeez Izuku, it's not that hot." He laughed.

"H-Hey. You should be scared too. We're up against Kaachan. Plus, Iida is also there, too. We should be on guard. You don't know what they could do." Izuku said, shaking.

"Oh, that's right. Bakugo, isn't he the one that makes fun of you two?" Uraraka asked. James shrugged his shoulders. He knew he was afraid of him. He just wasn't going to admit that he was. He was stronger than that.

"Yeah, he's really good. He can be a real pain in the ass. But his strength and his confidence… and his ambition to be a hero… Not to mention his Quirk. It's so much better than mine. But that just means, I have to do better. I refuse to lose today!" Izuku said, gaining his confidence back. Uraraka looked up at him, smiling.

"So it's a battle between two rivals?" Uraraka said.

"N-No. I-I-I'm not trying to get you caught up or wrapped up in our problems!" Izuku cried. Uraraka just laughed.

"Are you kidding? We're a team, right? Let's win this!" Uraraka said, throwing up her fist into the air. James had a smile on his face.

"No one can stop us, Izuku. Just remember. You have two of your friends by your side. And we will be by your side to help you!" James shouted. Izuku smiled and nodded his head. Izuku embraced the two of them in for a hug.

"Let's do this guy."

(A/N I didn't reveal his Quirk for a reason. This chapter wasn't the moment. The next chapter is going to change everything. I hope you're enjoying this! Please, make sure to review! I take everyone's reviews to my heart and I apply them to my story. I'll see you guys Thursday!)
