Currently, in the Gym of UA, a handful of certain students from each 1st-year class were taken out of classes for the day and told to report to the gym for an unknown reason.
From Class 1-A and 1-B of the hero Department, the students that were picked were Kaminari, Jirou, Momo, Tetsutetsu, Shihai, Ibarra, Juzo, and Neito.
From class 1-C, also known as the Support department, was Shinsou Hitoshi, Who had messy purple hair and he looked like he was always tired, he just wore the UA Uniform, next to him was Hoshiko Chiyoko, a young teen girl, who had black hair and her eyes looked like the night sky when it was clear, and another student alongside them was Akira Masaru, a teen boy with blonde hair that almost seem to glow.
Finally, from class 1-H, a support class specialized in tech, the student from here one Mei Hatsume, who had Pink hair styled in a braid-like fashion, wore the UA's gym pants with her black undershirt.
"Does anyone know why we're here?" asked Shinsou
"No Idea man," Kaminari said, he then looked to Shinsou and gave him an awkward smile, "I'm Denki Kaminari by the way"
"Hitoshi Shinsou" Shinsou replied
Momo and Jirou then proceeded to introduce themselves as well, "It's very nice to meet you Shinsou, I'm Momo Yaoyarozu"
"And I'm Kyoka Jirou," said Jirou
Shinsou just looked at them and nodded, he then pointed to his classmates, "These two are Hoshiko and Akira" Shinsou introduced
The two looked his way and Hoshiko gave them a polite wave, while Akira just smiled at them. Shinsou then looked over to the 1-B students.
"And you guys are?" Shinsou asked
Ibarra, a girl with vines for hair, turned to him as did the rest of her classmates. She and her classmates got closer to them and Ibarra gave them a bow
"I am Ibarra Shiozaki, from class 1-B, a pleasure to make your acquaintance" Ibarra greeted
"Name's Shihai Kuroiro" Shihai introduced
"I'm Neito Monoma," Neito told them
"Yo! I'm Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu! nice to meetch'a!" Tetsutetsu greeted/introduced
"And I am Juzo Honenuki," He said "Nice to meet you as well"
Shinsou then looked over to Mei, who was currently tweaking some gadget, "Hey Pinky!" He called out and she turned to look at him "Ya got a name?" he asked her
"Mei Hatsume" She replied quickly
Shinsou decided to let it be as she was clearly too focused on whatever she was doing. Shinsou was going to continue with the conversation and ask more questions, but the doors of the gym opened and they all turned to look at whoever was entering the gym. As they revealed themselves, the Class A and B students were in shock as all 9 members of the HVE Corp. along with Principle Nezu walked into the gym and looked at them all.
Nezu looked at all the students and had his calm smile on his face and his teacup in his hands. "Ah, I see you've all made it safe and sound, good, now there is something that I and Mr. Naomasa here would like to talk to each of you about," Nezu told the students "I will let Mr. Naomasa speak and if you have any questions, he and I will be able to answer any questions you may have at the end"
Naomasa thanked Nezu with a nod and stepped in front of him then looked at the students, "Hello, for those of you who don't know me, My name is Naomasa Tsukauchi, head honcho of the HVE Corporation, now, I'll cut to the chase, the reason you all are here is that we need talent and we see potential in every single one of you," He said with a smile "You see we work directly with both the government and the Hero Association, we are mostly a secretive group and our job is to kill both Villains and any Rouge or corrupt hero"
The students who didn't know about this part were in shock, however, both class A and B students remained calm, already hearing this information beforehand.
"Now, I know how bad that sounds to most, but trust me, we're the good guys," Naomasa said "Anyway, the reason we all want you here is because we want you to join the HVE Corp"
"Join the HVE? As in joining the Corporation down the line?" Kaminari asked
Naomasa shook his head, "No, we want you to join now, however, you don't have to, but if you do, there are both pros and cons to the job" Naomasa said, "We'll get to those later, but the reason we are asking you to join now is because of we're low on people, the nine of us here are the only members, besides that, that's all I have to say, any questions?"
"Yeah, how is UA, The Hero association, or the Government ok with a group like this hiring young teens!?" Kaminari cried
Naomasa just looked at him with a kind smile, "The reason that they are ok with this is that we ourselves can not only help continue your education, but we can also train you and your quirks and you'll be licensed Heroes as soon as you join for you to help us with the jobs we are given and the jobs we take" Naomasa said "The HVE is very Important to both the Government and the Hero Association, the reason they want youngsters to join us is that they feel like some of the next generation need to be ready to do the unthinkable"
"What kind of Job?" Neito asked
"Mostly we deal with Major Villain Groups, our current investigation that you'll be a part of if you join is our investigation of the Leauge of Villains" Naomasa said "Also, any corrupt or rouge heroes we come across will be dealt with deadly force since most of these heroes can not be allowed to live," Naomasa said
"Why?" Momo asked
"We can't answer that until we have your answer, but rest assured, it's for a good reason," Naomasa said
"Will we be allowed on any or all information about any individuals and missions?" Akira asked
Naomasa nodded, "Most of the time, yes, but some times no, the hero association, as well as the Government, will only give us the information that they think we'll need to complete the mission"
"Well, we also have to travel around the country or even out of it?" Shinsou asked
Naomasa nodded, "Yes, sometimes villains of Japan will escape into other countries, it is our job to track them down" Naomasa replied "We also have some form of diplomatic immunity in other countries but that won't always protect us in certain cases"
"You also mentioned pros and cons, what would those be?" Ibarra asked
"Well again, one of the pros is getting your hero license sooner, you and your family will also be financially be taken care of and we also have one of the best fighters and trainers as well as the best tech from I-Island itself, so you'll be able to take on any pro, villain or even Nomu" Naomasa replied
"And the cons?" Hoshiko asked
"Cons are you'll have to quite UA and also move into our HQ, you'll also mostly have little or limited contact with families and of course the biggest Con is, of course, most of you might not survive the jobs we do, I'm being honest with you all, when the HVE was formed, we had 100 members that consisted of both police and Pro-heroes, now most of them are dead and some had quit," Naomasa said "You won't be the only one's join of course, but your the selected few we want here at UA, but again, you don't have to join, but if you do, we need your before the day ends... we'll be waiting for your answer here in the gym, for now, head back to your classes and think it over," Naomasa said
With that, the students said nothing and headed out of the gym and back to their respective classes. Each thinking of their answer.

Kaminari was thinking. Thinking harder than he's ever had to in his life. He thought long and hard about the offer that Naomasa gave him and the other students. Not to mention, they had seen potential in him.
'but why?' Kaminari asked himself
What did they see in him? what was special about him that a group like the HVE would want him? Truth be told, despite Kaminari's cool wanna-be persona, he truly had a lot of self-doubt in himself. He had to be one of the weakest people in his class, despite his quirk being very strong and very deadly. The reason for this was because if he went over his limit, he would be basically a useless baby when fighting, and that pissed him off a little while also being a major factor of his self-doubt. Not to mention he needed to be saved two times already in the span of a few days and on those days he also couldn't do anything to protect his friends and teammates.
First, he needed to be saved by the HVE during the USJ, and then Sato had saved him from being blown back by Chitose, he couldn't help Momo or Jirou as they fought the Villains at the USJ and he couldn't even save Jirou from Chitose's attack during yesterday's training, not to mention that he also couldn't use his quirk around other people because he would hurt them as well and he had no hand-to-hand fighting experience or any training in weapons.
The only thing he was good for to his classmates was charging their phones.
"-Inari! Yo! Earth to Kaminari!"
Kaminari blinked and was taken out of his thoughts as he looked over to see Mina, Kirishima, and Sero waiting for him in the class as the others around him walked out of it.
"Oh, uh, sorry," He said "What's going on?" He asked
"It's lunch bro, you coming or what?" Kirishima asked
"Yeah, Yeah, I'm coming," He said
Kaminari left his stuff and headed out with his three friends to the lunchroom. As they left the class and walked down the halls, the three other teens couldn't help but notice that Kaminari seemed to be thinking really hard about something, which was a bit of a miracle to them.
"Hey, Kaminari, you good?" Sero asked
"Huh? yeah, why?" Kaminari asked
"Well you just look like your thinking really hard about something which means two things" Mina piped in
"What?" Kaminari asked
"You finally grew a brain or your thinking about something perverted" She joked which also got a chuckle out of Sero and Kirishima
It kinda hurt Kaminari that his friends thought that way about him but he also couldn't blame them for thinking like that, still, nonetheless, it hurt. "Hey, I can think really hard about something that isn't perverted stuff ok," He told them
They chuckled at him, but Kirishima stopped and looked at him, "Alright, but for real, what's got you thinking so hard dude?" Kirishima asked
Kaminari looked to his redheaded friend and didn't know if he should say anything about his offer to him or Mina and Sero, "I just been thinking... if you had the opportunity to get stronger and provide yourself with a future even though you'd have to do things that weren't in your comfort zone, would you do it?" he asked
"Maybe," Kirishima thought "But maybe not, after all, it all depends I guess"
"Depends on what?" Kaminari asked
"Like am I getting stronger to do good things or bad things?" Kirishima asked, "Am I doing it to help others, or am I doing it to help myself?"
"Let's say the first option, You're doing it to help others," Kaminari said "Would you do it?"
Kirishima thought hard about this and after a minute he looked back to his blonde friends and nodded, "Yeah, I'd do it in a heartbeat if it means I'd be able to protect my friends and family" Kirishima said,
"Where is this all coming from Kaminari?" Sero asked
Kaminari looked at his friends and then just turned away from them and looked down the hallway and walked alongside them
"It's... It's just something I've been thinking about" Kaminari said as he walked down the hall, still thinking hard about his answer and so far, he kind of had it

Back at the Gym, Izuku, Saiko, Sen, and Mawata, were just lounging around in the gym, while Naomasa, Saiko was just finishing a whole book of Sudoku, as well as crossword puzzles, and even answering some riddles she had found on the web. Sen was just napping, lying on one of the benches. As for Mawata was just reading some Manga she had brought with her from HVE HQ, the same for Izuku, but he was also reading some dirty magazines.
Despite his vision being full of some nice asses and boobs, Izuku's mind was somewhere else, specifically, on the students that Naomasa had picked out to join them. He then looked over to Mawata
"hey, Mawata" he called
"yeah Izu?" She asked
"You think those kids will be dumb enough to join us?" Izuku asked
"Maybe, after all, they'll be pretty much living the good life, but they also might die an early death, Humans can't resist easy life filled with money but they are also afraid of death," Mawata said "So it's not a matter of 'IF' it's a matter of what more Important to them, Money or living"
Izuku shrugged, "True, but I doubt most of those kids will say no," Izuku said "Most of the old HVE members we worked alongside with in the past wanted money and a better life for themselves or their family, some for some stupid sense of justice and duty, I don't think they should really join," Izuku said
"Why do you not want them to join?" Mawata asked "If they join along with the others that Emi and Moe recruited then it'll be a big help to the HVE and we won't have so much paperwork to do"
"You mean that I won't have that much paperwork to do" Saiko butted in "You three and Chitose never do your paperwork so it has to be me that always does it"
"Whatever" Mawata said, "But still, why don't you want them to join Izu?"
Izuku just looked away from Mawata and back at the magazine, "I just feel like they really shouldn't be a part of our world... if we work with them, we'll become friends, and if they continue to work with us, they'll die" Izuku said "Unlike them, we can take damage and even survive getting our heads cut off, but if that happens to them, they're dead, and we'll have to see the friends we've made die again and that'll just piss me off again"
Mawata and Saiko could understand where Izuku was coming from. Since they had joined the HVE when it started, they worked alongside police and heroes, and while indifferent to them at first, they warmed up to their co-workers and found friends, and thought that those friends couldn't die, that they would never die... but those friends did and it hurt them a little. bit by bit, as each friend died or quit, the four young teens felt a sense of sadness in their hearts. Izuku and Mawata really hated that feeling, no one could tell how sen felt about the death of their friends, and Saiko felt and understood that pain, but moved on, truly hoping that those who died had died for a reason and she moved on, continuing with whatever job she was given or was needed for.
"I get it Izuku... but maybe things will turn out different this time?" Mawata said with a cheerful smile
Izuku looked back at her and felt a bit of relief as Mawata was always the happy one of the group and could always cheer him up, but his feeling of dread was more present and he turned away from her yet again.
"Maybe..." He said, "But I doubt it..."
Mawata could tell that he was still feeling upset and while she wanted to talk to him about it, she knew that words weren't going to cut it but only worsen the feelings he felt currently. Thankfully, they had a much better idea to cheer Izuku up.
"Hey, Izuku, why don't we head to ground omega and spar?" She said in a cheerful tone
Izuku looked at her confused, "Why?" he asked
"I just feel like letting loose a little, and we'll make it into a competition," She said "If I win, you'll have to do my chores for a week"
"And if I win?" Izuku asked
"I'll give a french kiss~!" She said in a sly and seductive tone
This of course had Izuku on his feet in a matter of nanoseconds and grabbed Mawata by the wrist and ran off to spar "Sounds like a deal! let's go Mawata! See you guys later!" he yelled as he dragged Mawata who just had a goofy smile on her face
Saiko's cheeks reddened as she pouted a little since she couldn't believe Izuku was such a degenerate
"Perverts," She said with a scowl as she saw the two runoff.

The day eventually ended and Kaminari had his school things packed and he left the classroom and walked down to the ground floor. However, he didn't walk out the front gates to head home. He turned and walked in the direction of Gym Gamma. He soon arrived at the gym doors, but before he went in, he took a deep breath in through his nose and then exhaled out of his mouth, and then he grabbed the handle of the door, opened it up, and walked in.
Once he was inside the gym, he looked around and saw that Shinsou, Hoshiko, Akira, Shihai, Ibarra, Juzo, and Mei were all present in the room. He was kind of bummed out that Momo and Jirou didn't join up with him, but he understood why they didn't, after all, they would be doing a lot of stuff that most Heroes wouldn't do, but... he was. He didn't want to be the brain-dead idiot who needed saving anymore.
"You guys are joining up too?" he asked them
"Yep," Shinsou said "figured it might a better option for me if I want to be a hero"
"Pretty much the same for me," Hoshiko said
"I joined up because I really need the money," Akira said "so that's the only reason I'm joining up"
Kaminari then looked to Ibarra and the other 1-B students that decided to join alongside him,
"I just want to help people, if I can do that sooner rather than later, I'll take that chance," Ibarra said
"Same for me," Juzo said "The money is just a bonus that my dad and little brother could really use"
"I don't feel like sharing my reason just yet" Shihai piped in
Kaminari then looked over to Mei, "And you Mei? why'd you join?"
"Mostly the tech from I-Island as well as it might allow some of my babies to get noticed by a few higher-ups," Mei said "So it's good for my business"
"What about you Kaminari? Why'd you join up?" Ibarra asked
Kaminari smiled a little bit as he had found his reason why, "I wanna get stronger, so I don't have to be the one getting saved all the time, I wanna protect people not be protected" He said
Ibarra gave him a soft and kind smile with a nod and Shinsou just gave him a small grin. Naomasa looked at all the students that had decided to join the HVE and he just smiled, "Alright, now that all of you are here, we'll begin the recruiting process as soon as we all head back to HQ" Naomasa said "We'll be stopping by each of your houses and you'll be getting your things for your rooms, and you'll be able to say goodbye to your families"
Izuku looked over at all of the new faces that would be joining them and couldn't help but feel both sadness and pity for them. Because they had no idea what they were really getting into. He knew most of them were going to die in just a matter of days or weeks, and then, they'd just be looking for their replacements again.
"Congratulations to all of you," Izuku said "you just signed up for your deaths"

A/N: I know we haven't spent all this time with the Kokoromu even though their main characters but I also need to focus on the other characters and develop them. Otherwise, you won't feel sad when I kill some of them off.
Also, why only Jirou, Momo, and Kaminari were asked to Join, well they have quirks better suited for the HVE and I didn't want to add other major destructive powers to the team, which is why I didn't add Bakugou or Todoroki.
Momo can create anything which the HVE can use
Jirou can hear really well and with her jacks, she can eavesdrop on conversations.
and Kaminari's quirk is very powerful and is a living batter that the HVE can use for a number of different reasons, but besides that, it's also possible that he can jam out radios as theorized by many if he is the "UA Traitor"
As for the others, eh, I kinda need to up the body count but they also have quirks that can be useful.
Juzo can soften the ground and thus trap enemies
Ibarra's quirk allows her to attack and defend and restain very powerful people
Shihai is a living shadow and can pop up from any dark spot, making him the best infiltrator and assassin.
Mei is a genius in her own right, being responsible for most of Cannon Izuku's tech no doubt.
And Shinsou has a mind control quirk, who wouldn't want him on their team.
Hoshiko and Akira are just OC's I added who have quirks that aren't really meant for fighting but are very useful for other things, which we'll see later on.
Also, since we're nearing the Sports festival Arc as well as the Hero Killer Arc. The HVE will be focusing on of course Stain, but he won't be the only baddy to show up and make an appearance. Also, We'll be getting a bit more the Doctor and OFA in the coming chapters since they are the main big bads.
