"Uuuhh.."
"I can't have ONE normal morning at this fucking school!"
Izuku & Katsuki were greeted at the disintegrated barrier by their homeroom teacher and classmates. Parked in between the gateway and path inside was a specialized school bus. They hadn't even attended U.A for a week yet, and they were apparently going to have a field trip.
"S- Sensei, shouldn't we go to the classroom first?", Izuku wondered.
Aizawa let loose an exasperated sigh due to the student interrupting his juice box slurping session. "With the barrier out of commission, Principal Nezu suggested we perform a different approach to hero training. I'll explain when everyone is loaded on the bus."
Izuku nodded in understanding while Katsuki grumbled to himself. When the two boys stepped foot inside the transport vehicle, they were hit by a maelstrom of greetings.
"Bakubro, over here! Yo, you too Midoriya!", Kirishima shot up from his seat that he had been saving.
"No, sit over here with me!", Uraraka exclaimed while patting an empty space.
"The Class President should have provided us with a seating order!", Iida reprimanded an anxious Izuku.
"If it's that much of a concern, Bakugo shall sit with Kirishima and Midoriya can sit with Uraraka.", Yaoyorozu acted as a saving grace. Izuku gave her a thankful glance.
"This is so exciting! Do you have any idea where we might be going?", Ochaco vibrated with joy.
"Um, n- not yet.. Aizawa-Sensei said he would tell us when everyone was ready.", Izuku was overwhelmed by the girl's ecstatic behavior.
"I just hope it isn't a boring museum or something.", Ashido leaned over her seat to reveal she had been eavesdropping.
"What if they're taking us to the movies?! My old school used to do that all the time.", Uraraka theorized.
"I doubt it. Neither of those things have to do with heroic activities. If I had to guess, we would be going somewhere like a gym to train.", Izuku muttered with his own thoughts & suggestions.
"Ooh, what if they're taking us shopping?! I could really use a trip to the mall!", Ashido ignored the murmuring boy.
"That would be fun!", Uraraka was far too consumed in her conversation with the pinkette as well.
Izuku slumped in his chair upon realizing he had been completely forgotten.
Eventually, Tsuyu Asui climbed aboard. "Sorry I'm late everyone. I had to make breakfast for my younger brother and sister.", she apologized.
"Aww, it's okay Tsu! You can squeeze in here with me and Midoriya!", Ochaco waved her friend over.
"Thank you. Kero.", the greenette agreed to sandwich the poor blushing boy.
"H- Help me.", Izuku twitched and sweated.
"Alright, that should be everyone. We can finally get this bus rolling now.", Aizawa gathered everybody's attention.
Hanta Sero shot his hand up with astounding speed that would be useful in combat. "Um, what're we doing exactly?"
"This is a lesson that will be supervised by myself, All Might, and one other teacher. We will be preparing you for disaster relief; this will range from fires to floods."
"Rescue Training!", the class exclaimed in realization.
"I'll be right at home in the flood portion, Ribbit.", Asui seemed happy about to announcement despite her unreadable expressionless face.
"Rescue, huh? Sounds like another rough day.", Kaminari complained.
"Come on, this is what being a hero is all about! I'm pumped!", Kirishima was his usual energetic self.
"Tch. I'd rather blast villains in their dumb faces.", Bakugo growled.
"Hey. I'm not done."
Everyone shuddered upon seeing their teacher glare at them with red eyes.
"It's up to each of you whether or not you'll wear your hero costumes; as some of them are ill-suited for this sort of activity."
"But Sensei, aren't our costumes back in the classroom?", Yaoyorozu raised her hand to interject.
The ragged looking hero grinned before flipping a switch on a portable remote.
The class looked on in awe as lockers descended from the roof. They had witnessed a similar feat in their classroom with the wall, but it was still a startling surprise.
"At the back of the bus is a restroom. You can get changed in there.", Aizawa drawled.
Then the bus lurched forward and began its journey. Students began making trips to the back to get dressed while others made small talk.
"Midoriya. I generally say what's on my mind."
"O- Oh! What is it, Asui?", Izuku wondered.
"Call me Tsu."
"T- Tsu?"
"Your quirk kinda resembles mine."
"Huh? How so?", Izuku completely forgot about his nerves. Whenever it came to quirk discussion, he was always in the zone.
"Yeah. What makes you say that, Tsu?", Uraraka pried.
"My quirk allows me to exhibit everything a frog is capable of doing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Midoriya is able to do anything a spider can."
"Y- Yeah, that about sums my quirk up.. I never thought about it that way, but you're kinda right.", Izuku ponders his classmate's words.
"So that's how you were able to pull off all those awesome flips and stuff! Man, that's pretty cool and flashy! Not like my hardening quirk, I'm good in a fight, but it's pretty boring.", Kirishima chimed in.
"A- Actually Kirishima-San, I think your quirk is super neat! Your hardening is more than enough if you wanna go pro! With enough practice, you might be able to withstand hits that All Might dishes out!", Izuku reassured the redhead.
"Heh. Wouldn't that be manly?", Kirishima flashed one of his infamous shark toothed grins.
"You wanna talk strong and cool? That'd be Todoroki and Bakugo!", Ashido sprang up from her eavesdropping position. Izuku silently wondered how many times she would secretly listen in.
"Tch.", Bakugo rolled his eyes. He was used to receiving praise, so it didn't matter much to him.
"But Bakugo's so unhinged. He'd never be popular.", Asui retorted.
"What did you fucking say, frog face?!", the ashy blonde shot up like a firecracker.
"See?", the greenette pointed at the volcano eruption with a cheeky expression that stuck out her tongue.
"I'll fucking fuck you up, you fucking fuckwad!", Bakugo roared as Kirishima struggled to hold him back.
"What a vulgar conversation!", Yaoyorozu shook her head.
"Indeed. I don't think your mouth could get any fouler, Bakugo!", Iida chopped his hands condescendingly.
"Oh yeah, four eyed fuck? How about I pound you?", Bakugo sneered.
"G- Guys, let's just calm d- down and stop fighting.", Izuku pleaded.
"Oh yeah, that reminds me! I wanted to ask you something, Midoriya!", Kirishima turned his attention to the intervention once Bakugo settled down.
"O- Oh? What were you wondering, Kirishima?", Izuku nervously asked.
"You were able to shoot webs during the battle training, but didn't use them any other time. What's up with that?"
"Ah, well.. Um, ya see.. That's not really part of my quirk."
"The nerd built shitty support items to do that crap.", Bakugo supplied an answer.
Kirishima's eyes widened in awe. "Whoa, he's that smart?!"
"The nerd isn't THAT smart!", Bakugo hollered.
"Then why do you call him a nerd? Aren't nerds smart? Kero."
"I'll fucking kill you, frog face!"
"Stop your bickering and look sharp. We're here.", Aizawa interrupted the conversation.
"Yes, Sensei!", the class replied in unison.
In the amount of time it took the driver to find a parking space, Izuku and a few others changed into their hero costumes. Yaoyorozu took charge and led the class in a single file line when finished.
However, the trek to their destination was briefly postponed for everyone to gawp at the massive structure. An enormous dome with marble steps leading towards it had them completely mesmerized.
"Save your fascination for when we get inside.", Aizawa strolled past the gawping group. He knew that this was nothing compared to the interior and braced himself for the next reaction.
"WHOAA!"
"Is this Universal Studios Japan?!"
The facility was an impressive lot the size of a metropolis. The entrance platform somehow managed to overlook it all. In the center was a plaza and fountain. From there, pathways split in different directions to route visitors to customized locations.
"There's the flood zone, landslide zone, conflagration zone, and plenty more!"
The class turned their awe ridden gaze to the newcomer and suddenly became starstruck.
"It's the Space Hero: Thirteen!", Ochaco Uraraka squealed like a fan girl.
The pro hero dressed like an astronaut nodded in acknowledgment. "I built this facility myself. It contains every disaster and accident you can imagine. 'The Unforeseen Simulation Joint' to train heroes how to properly rescue!"
True to the hero's word, every site was specified for different calamities. One burned hot with fire while another poured with artificial rain & thunder. The students could barely take it all in, but their attention span was certainly trying.
While nobody was focused on the teachers, the two began whispering to one another in the corner.
"Thirteen. Where's All Might? I thought he was meeting us here.", Aizawa grimaced at the mentioned hero's tardiness.
"About that, Senpai.. It seems he just about reached his limit during his morning commute. He's resting in the break room back at U.A with the promise of appearing towards the end of the exercise to say a few final words."
Aizawa rubbed his temple with a shake of his head. "The height of irrationality.. So be it. Let's get started."
Thirteen nodded before turning towards the class and raising their voice. "Before we do, I have one or two points to make. Possibly three? Maybe four? Lots of points."
Class 1-A sweatdropped while Aizawa continued shaking his head in annoyance.
"As I'm sure many of you are aware; my quirk is called Black Hole. It can suck in and tear apart anything it's focused on.", Thirteen gestured towards their glove where a finger cap popped open. With enough precision, a miniature whirlwind was created before being snuffed out.
Uraraka nodded her head to show she was listening intently. "You used it to save people from all sorts of disasters!"
"Indeed.", Thirteen confirmed. "However, my power could easily kill.", that response then drained the joyful aura from Ochaco & everyone else. The mood had changed to something far more serious.
"Sensei?", Uraraka prodded to see where that statement was headed.
"I have no doubt there are some among you with similar abilities. In our superpowered society, the use of quirks is heavily restricted and monitored. It may seem that this system is a stable one; but we must never forget that it takes one wrong move with an uncontrollable quirk for people to die."
"During the physical fitness test I had you all perform, you discovered your hidden potential.", Aizawa added his part of the explanation.
"Through All Might's battle training, you experienced the danger that your respective quirks can pose to others.", Thirteen continued.
"I see! From the very beginning, our hero lessons were carefully thought out! I shouldn't expect anything less from U.A!", Iida adjusted his glasses as if he had seen a new light.
"Correct. Now, this class will show you a new perspective. You will learn how to utilize your quirks to save lives. Your powers are capable of inflicting harm, but I hope you leave here today with the understanding that your meant to help people as well!"
Izuku nodded in understanding. He learned that the hard way when entering a wrestling tournament; he could have used his quirk to save his mother rather than flaunt it.
"That is all! I thank you for listening!", Thirteen bowed at the end of the speech.
"Bravo! Bravo!", Iida applauded enthusiastically.
"Moving on..", Aizawa interjected while stepping forth.
Whatever the homeroom teacher said beyond that was drowned out by the buzzing in Izuku's head. The spider clad teen clutched the spot of dull throbbing with a small groan. Whatever the reason for his tingling senses, they were quite severe this time around.
"Midoriya? Is something wrong?", Aizawa seemed to notice this behavior and raised a brow in concern.
"Sensei.. I- I think I sense something coming.", Izuku tried to warn everyone.. but it was too late.
Right on cue, the light bulbs illuminating the environment began to burst with a surge of electricity. With lights dying out, a centered mass of darkness began to swirl in the middle.
A chill ran down everybody's spines as they something begin to climb out of it.
Aizawa pulled up a pair of yellow goggles and prepared his capture cloth for combat.
"Get back! This isn't a simulation; those are real villains!"
The lens on Izuku's mask widened in realization.
Leading an assault of gnarly looking foes, was a villain covered in severed hands.
Izuku instantly recognized the blue haired man and his ally.
The purple mist is capable of creating bigger warp gates afterall.
