Izuku stood at the top of his apartment building in the dead of night, looking at the quiet streets as the moon rose to the highest point in the skies, illuminating the city as most people slept soundly. He couldn't sleep though, at least not now. He had gotten a nap after school so he could wake up at 8 P.M. and help Mei at her lab, who he made do the same thing so she would get rest and not burn herself out. They had been working on the gear for 4 hours straight before Izuku stepped out for some fresh air, or rather to gather his thoughts.
"In the morning, both classes will be going to the USJ for rescue training. But I can't help but feel something is going to go wrong. Someone destroyed the gate on purpose and for a reason, but Mr. Nezu refused to tell me what was missing. I can only assume that whatever was stolen, it was something serious, as it was one of the first times I had seen him truly angry at something. Mr. Aizawa also seemed pretty pissed off, as his red eyes boiled with frustration." Izuku sighed and looked at his hand, before looking down at the floor and seeing sparks coming out from Mei's lab, indicating that she was working hard.
"Either way, I have to watch out. Whether it be Neito, Hitoshi, or anyone else in the group. I know they can handle themselves…" Izuku looked at his street, and the darkness that smothered it as the street lights went out one by one, before only one stood strong, the one Izuku stood right over.
"But I'll do anything I can to help them. Whether it is to team up with them, protect them, or stay away from them." Izuku took a couple deep breaths to calm himself down as he looked up and the Waning Crescent of the moon provided the light needed for him to just stop and stare. Even if his Reality Simulator looked and felt real, it would never replace the absolute beauty that he loved when staring at the word for an endless amount of hours. Whether it was laying down and staring at the stars, traveling across a desert, standing at the highest mountains, he loved it all. He hated when people said they wanted a change, but never decided that they would join in to help the change.
"The world evolves, and new situations come with it. Now, I have a chance to help some of those situations." Izuku smiled and looked at the clear sky, the stars shining upon him as he pointed out the many constellations.
"And I'll take every chance I can get. I live life to the fullest every second, never slowing down, but always moving ahead. Now, I have people to keep me a little grounded, and in return, I give them as much help as they need. I refuse to be someone that doesn't leave a mark…" He glowed blue as his blue hair started waving around with the gathering wind, his green eyes glowing with power.
"Because if anyone tries to stop me, I'll run straight through them."
Izuku hopped back to the ground and saw the opened garage door, letting cool air flow into the building as he saw Mei at her desk with her steampunk goggles on, her golden eyes zooming in on the multiple costumes they had finished. So far, they have completed Shishida's new costume, Yaoyorozu's improvements, Hagakure's new costume, Kamakiri's improvements, Kaminari's new copper discs to help him shoot his quirk in multiple directions, and Jirou's new amps. He looked at the board with all the names on it and saw that most that were urgent had been crossed out.
"Mei!" She didn't hear him as she was too busy with her babies before Izuku grabbed her goggles and then she finally turned around.
"Ah, Izuku! We have finished every costume that is urgent for your field trip tomorrow. You need some sleep for your big day." Mei said, giving him a confident smile as he looked at her with a groan.
"Mei, we really need to focus on your hearing capabilities." Izuku joked before Mei innocently replied, "I heard you, I just didn't care." Izuku muttered incoherent words before hitting himself in the head and sighed while chuckling. "Yeah, whatever you say, Zoom. Just know that Power Loader is making you go with us to monitor the technology there along with some other support course students. So make sure you bring some tech to defend yourself with just in case it goes haywire." Izuku warned her honestly as he felt his intuition rising, as everything didn't add up.
"Relax, I always bring my babies with me. And with your Capsules, I can bring them out at any time." Mei pumped her fist as Izuku nodded before yawning.
"We need to rest for tomorrow. Remember, you have control over whether or not the Reality Simulators defense mechanisms are up as well as the safety measurements, so program correctly and make sure not to spoil as even I don't know what Nezu had programmed in there." Izuku said while inwardly wincing from what Nezu brought up, as Nezu wasn't the most sane person out there.
"Yes, Big Brother." Mei rolled her eyes as she walked upstairs before whimpering with a smile. She really appreciated what Izuku had done for her and her psyche, as she was earning more and more friends and becoming less socially weird and inept. She became fast friends with Pony from 1B and Uraraka, Mina and Toru from 1A. Even if they weren't personally friends with Izuku, they respected him and she got to know more people from there.
Izuku just stood there, stunned at what he just heard. He just looked up at the elevator with a large smile as he heard the ding that signified that Mei had gotten upstairs before locking up the lab and walking over to his apartment building. He walked in and went to his stairs up to where his bed was before he sat down on his bed, having taken off his normal outfit and got into his casual clothes with blue shirt and blue shorts. He looked out his window and saw the lights of the city, smiling as white chaos energy flowed out of his hands. A warm presence blanketed his apartment as it got more and more comfortable. Izuku laid down within the soft bed sheets and entered his rest, only pleasant dreams guiding him through the night.

Ibara Shiozaki was not afraid to speak up for what was right. Her parents taught her the word of God from a young age, always following religion with a passion. She prayed every single day, never once missing a moment where she felt like she had committed a horrible sin. She had a bible on the side of her bed that she constantly referred to when she needed motivation, never parting without it unless it was for a serious situation. Despite this, she never really had a stance on whether or not a relationship before marriage was bad. Her parents met before they married and conceived her before they got married, but they had explained to her when she was able to understand more that God had gifted her to them and he had forgiven them when she was born. Now, she was in her bed lying down while staring at her phone before putting it down and breathing in and out softly, letting her heartbeat slow down and humming delicately.
"Yeah, a villain broke down the walls. They could've used that as a distraction and broke into the school." Izuku's emotionless voice haunted her constantly throughout the fallout of that high-tension moment, never once leaving her mind. She saw the way Izuku reacted, one of the nicest people she knew had become the most serious she had ever seen him, letting everyone who knew him know he wasn't playing any games with that one statement that made everyone shudder from the tone that he exhaled. He ended up leaving with Mei, Hitoshi and Neito discussing something, but not before giving Ibara another showing of why he was reliable.
"Ibara, you alright?" Izuku sat above in the cherry blossom tree while Ibara looked up at him and saw the look of concern that he had for her, worry glistening from his deep blue eyes.
"I'm feeling adequate. I will admit what you said really bothered me, and the cadence that you gave us in the cafeteria made my bones chill, and this could go for many others. That Jirou girl from 1A looked the same way, along with Ashido from 1A and Tsunotori." Izuku frowned softly at the thought of scaring his friends with something unintentional. He never really got too serious around them other than when he talked about heroism with UA, but it's something they needed to hear. He sighed softly and looked towards the sky before picking a leaf out of the tree, Ibara looking on in interest as white energy came out of Izuku's hands before he jumped down and stood in front of her with a sorry look on his face before putting his hand up and offering a smile.
"Yeah, Jirou said something similar to me earlier outside of the cafe. I already told her this, and you deserve to hear it as well, I didn't mean to scare you." Ibara looked at his hand and remembering what they did earlier, pressed her whole hand against it, feeling the warmth once again circle her hand as Izuku smiled at her before looking away. "It's just that I wanted to express how serious this situation is. I understand you might be scared and confused about how serious I was, but that's just how I get when I hear there are villains that are threatening anyone, and a direct threat to the biggest hero school is something that calls for it. I won't apologize for being serious, since we are going to be heroes and we can't be afraid of the unknown anymore, so we best prepare as much as possible." He gave her a grin as his white energy stopped flowing between his hands, leaving their bare hands connected before Ibara softly smiled back with vines spreading around her arms.
"I see, so you wanted to make sure we would understand the severity. I apologize for any inconvenience that could've been shown." Izuku gave her a thumbs up and started walking away before turning and giving her a wave, which she returned with haste as he joined up with Hitoshi, Neito, and Mei in the distance before Ibara looked down and saw the vines she had conjured up before humming and walking away, mulling over what he had said to her.
"I wonder, how could you be so calm in a situation like that one?" She asked herself as she thought about what would happen tomorrow. There would be a rescue training field trip for both UA hero courses and some support course students gathering data and configuring something unknown. She knew no one of Class 1A besides Izuku and slightly Hitoshi, although never speaking to him. She had gotten a little accustomed to her class, not appreciating Jurota and his beastly state, Togaru's foul mouth, and Setsuna's provocative attitude, but she tolerated it. Now it was a whole new group of people that she had to grow around, and from some stories that Izuku had told to her after their trial together, she wasn't looking forward to some of their attitudes. But she also heard good things, so who besides God knew what tomorrow would bring? She sat up from picturing a hand with white energy holding her own hand and Izuku's comforting smile before her classmates also popped up in her conscience, everyone having their own natures that benefitted them before softly closing her eyes and resting beneath the clear night.

Nozomi didn't know what to truly think. First was the school alarm, then Izuku jumping from the roof and telling her that her father needed to see her, being informed of the fact that her father was saved from being trampled by the same person who she envied in a way. Her father couldn't give any details on what happened, but judging by the way that his emotions played out, she had an answer. Someone had gotten into the school somehow, she was sure of it. Her father was out for a while, not coming back to their house for a while. She was home alone for the longest time before her mother came home, and they both embraced each other. Her mother looked like an older version of her, long green hair tied up in a combat ponytail, mature figure, green jumpsuit with dark green outlines, green gloves, black combat shoes and green cape along with white and blue sleeves, goggles and black combat leggings. This woman was Inko Yagi, formerly Inko Midoriya and known to the public as Green Psion.
"Nozomi, I heard what happened! Are you okay?!" Her mother hugged her tightly with the promise of never letting go as Nozomi hugged her back softly, enjoying being in her mother's touch before she responded, "Yeah, it was really rough to get through though." Inko took off her goggles and cape and laid a hand on her daughter's face, getting an embarrassed blush out of her as they both smiled at one another.
"How's the first week at UA so far? I heard from Toshinori that you got in trouble." Inko asked with a stink eye as Nozomi nervously rubbed her shoulder before responding quietly, "I may have taken things a bit too far in a trial. Mr. Aizawa reprimanded most of the class, but threatened me and Shoto Todoroki if we ever tried what we did again." She looked down in shame, not daring to look at her mother before feeling a hand on her head, and looked up to see her mother looking at her with disappointment, the worst look she could ever give.
"Nozomi, I know you and Katsuki rub off on each other, but UA is no playground for your antics. I might've let it slide on some occasions when you went to Aldera because you always fixed the place up, but here I won't be so lax. You wanting to prove your strength right now needs to be put on the back burner, for now make sure you focus your skills into being the hero you wanted to be, the hero that wanted to be like her father." Nozomi clenched her fists as her mind went back to Izuku for a second, gritting her teeth at how he got away with most things she used to get away before remembering he was an independent person who cared for himself, thus making it a moot point. There was also the fact that Izuku abided by the rules, so there was nothing she could realistically say that doesn't sound hypocritical.
"Yeah, sorry mom. On the bright side, though, I was elected Vice-President of my class. I'm making decisions along with Momo Yaoyorozu and Tenya Iida. We also go on a field trip tomorrow." Inko glowed with pride at hearing how her daughter was gaining more and more friends and asked her, "Who are the people in your class? I know of Katsuki, Shoto Todoroki, Momo Yaoyorozu, and Tenya Iida so far, but you should name all of them. I can't wait to see your whole class!" Nozomi smiled at her mom's attitude before she began to list her classmates. "Ochaco Uraraka and Tsuyu Asui have been great friends so far. They and Iida have been great to me. Mina Ashido and Toru Hagakure are nice enough, but they mostly float between friend groups since they are the two gossip girls. Kyoka Jirou is nice enough, though she likes to keep to herself most of the time, and she hangs around with Yaoyorozu a lot. For the boys, Eijiro Kirishima is really nice, though he keeps referring to things as 'manly.' Denki Kaminari and Minoru Mineta are two perverts, though Kaminari is a lot more reluctant to show it and Mineta is being contained. Ojiro Mashirao, Mezo Shoji, and Fumikage Tokoyami keep to themselves most of the time, although Mashirao is more open and keeps Mineta in check. Yuga Aoyama is someone who prides himself on being flashy. Hanta Sero is nice enough, but mostly hangs around with Katsuki and Kirishima. Hitoshi Shinso is someone who keeps to himself in class, but outside of class he's friends with many people and is always tired…" Nozomi stopped and paused for a second, with Inko lowering the smile on her face from when she was gushing about her class.
"Nozomi, continue. Is the last student someone who you don't get along with?" Inko asked with a twitch of her eyes as Nozomi shook her head before looking at her arm and glaring. Inko saw the tension and went to touch her before Nozomi continued, "The last one is Izuku Akatani. He's the most friendly out of all of them, but I just…" Inko looked at her daughter, who was clenching her fists before she yelled out, "I don't know! He's strong, possibly the strongest kid in our year, and he directly challenged all of us! Me, Katsuki, everyone in the class. He talked about how being a hero was serious and made absolutely sure that we didn't underestimate him anymore..." She paused again before looking at her mom, who was looking back in confusion and worry for her daughter. "I want to beat him, to be stronger than him. When he challenged us, he never stopped being friendly and encouraging, but that's what made it worse. He defeated Katsuki, the same Katsuki who I've known for so long. He beat him easily, mom, like he wasn't trying. He then called Katsuki a rival, encouraging him to get even better so they could have a rematch. We haven't had a single interaction besides very short moments and yet…" Nozomi started glowing green as she said,
"I want to be stronger than him. He's shown a lot, and I know he has that much more to show. He's an enigma, one that no one can figure out. I want to beat him, to show who's stronger."
Inko looked at her daughter before raising her hand slowly, emphasizing what she was doing before Nozomi looked around and saw many things in the house were floating from when she activated her quirk in her passionate speech. She knew what her daughter was thinking.
"She had been top dog in school nearly her whole life. Always getting good grades, always being at the top of anything, but now she feels threatened. Katsuki is rubbing off on her in ways I'm not fond of. His mentality of being the strongest got to Nozomi's head." Inko shook her head before walking up and staring directly at her daughter, who was now taking deep breaths.
"Come on, let's go to your room and have a talk about this." Inko said with a worried tone as Nozomi followed her inside, ready to hear her mother's wisdom.

Izuku twitched in his sleep before waking up, his blurry eyes catching the faintest glimpse of sunlight before he looked at the alarm clock, which revealed the time to be 6:12 A.M. He yawned before sitting up and looking to his left to see his phone on the bed and 19 unread messages from some people. Most were from Mei and Kinoko, begging him to wake them up before he saw one that he got from Juzo.
"Which bus are you heading on for the field trip?" Izuku read it and replied, "I'm on the 1A bus. The support course students will be riding with you guys, but we meet at the same place." He then put his phone back down and stood up, shaking his head to get himself more awake before he received another text.
"Alright. I'm getting in some last second training right now at Gym Gamma over at UA. I'm in one of the optional dorm rooms for the school and if you want to come work out, I'm down." He smirked before giving a voice message, "I'll be there. Just need to make sure that the group knows I'm going to be busy." He then sent a message to everyone saying that he would be busy for the morning before taking a shower and getting his bag, putting his uniform in there as well as the capsule for his hero outfit. He walked out and decided to take his Extreme Gear out to ride to the school. He got on it and hovered away at a fast pace, enjoying the rush that he felt from dancing through the winds with no resistance. Before long, he eventually arrived at UA to see an improved gate.
"Seems like Mr. Nezu found a good replacement." Izuku thought to himself before crossing through and walking towards the gym, where he saw Juzo in his gym outfit practicing with his quirk.
"Yo man, you might want to stop before you tire yourself out with your quirk before the field trip." Izuku said with a teasing smirk as Juzo looked up at him with a stink eye, not appreciating the joke before Izuku put his bag down and Juzo went underground before pulling Izuku into the ground and hopping out.
"Considering how you're in the ground right now, I wouldn't say anything." Juzo smirked before laughing as Izuku started laughing along with him before Juzo pulled him out of the ground.
"What are we starting with first?" Izuku asked him before Juzo nodded and said, "I just want to practice fighting without a quirk today. I recognize that I rely on my quirk way too much, and I want to improve it in case a situation arises where I'm unable to use it. Plus, 1A's teacher erases quirks, so what's saying a villain with the same ability doesn't come around. I want to improve my fighting ability and I know you, Itsuka, Neito and Hitoshi from 1A all have practice with martial arts." Izuku nodded with a smile before they heard a voice come from behind them. "Am I allowed to join you all? I'd love to see what happens when we spar." Izuku and Juzo turned to see Ojiro looking at them with his gym outfit on and an interested look on his face. Juzo looked confused while Izuku obliged with a grin on his face, knowing Ojiro was a martial artist and his tail would be a nightmare matchup for sparring.
"Ojiro! I didn't know you decided to get a dorm as well." Izuku walked up, Juzo following behind him as Ojiro walked up with a smirk. "Yeah, my parents let me come here immediately." He then looked at Juzo and said, "Nice to meet you. I'm Ojiro Mashirao from Class 1A. I can help with your fighting ability, since I am a martial artist and my tail helps with fighting." He let his tail loose and Juzo nodded before saying, "Pleasure. My name is Juzo Honenuki from Class 1B, and my quirk is Softening. I can soften the ground and walls into a quicksand-like substance, and I can travel through. I appreciate you wanting to help me." They both shook hands as Izuku looked behind them and said, "Alright, Juzo who do you want to spar with first?" Juzo pointed at Ojiro who nodded and both got in position on the gym floor while Izuku got in the middle, ready to start the spar.
"Ready…" Both took their stances, Ojiro with a much more advanced stance with Juzo not backing down.
"Begin!" Ojiro waited while furthering his stance by setting his feet as Juzo tensed himself and ran at him before dodging a swipe by Ojiro's tail. Juzo sent a kick to his side that was blocked before Ojiro chopped downwards, Juzo blocking with both of his arms before Ojiro tried to swipe his legs, with Juzo doing a late backflip over it, Ojiro taking advantage and kicking upwards, hitting Juzo's arm and swiping his tail once again, hitting a second shot on the other shoulder. Juzo fell back before getting back on his feet, feeling the effects of Ojiro's counterattack. He set his fists before focusing on Ojiro's tail as Ojiro ran in. Ojiro threw a fast jab that Juzo dodged before grabbing onto Ojiro's tail and jumping over his shoulder, trying to send a spin kick to Ojiro's head. Ojiro moved his head in the nick of time as Juzo's face grazed the side of his face before Ojiro grabbed his leg and spun Juzo around before jumping up and sending his tail to send Juzo into the ground. Juzo knew he couldn't dodge as both were in mid-air and tried to lessen the impact of the blow by blocking as the tail aimed for his solar plexus. The tail smashed directly into Juzo's arms, sending into the ground as a dust cloud settled. Juzo sprung up before seeing the bruises left on his arms and flinched before taking a stance once again.
"If he used his quirk, he would've defeated me easily by now. I appreciate how he's trying to get better." Ojiro thought before taking a stance once again as Juzo's bruises began to show more and more. Izuku looked at Juzo before grinning like a loon at what he was going to do. Juzo changed his stance, now more low to the ground before rushing forward, keeping himself low as he sprang forward. Ojiro saw this and also ran towards Juzo before Juzo jumped and tried to kick Ojiro in the jaw, which was blocked with haste. Ojiro sent an open palm towards Juzo, which he dodged and sent another punch, which Ojiro caught before Juzo kicked the side of his stomach. Ojiro flinched and used his tail before Juzo went below the swipe and tried to get a sweep, which Ojiro countered by trying an axe kick. Juzo narrowly dodged this and sent a high kick to Ojiro's side, which he blocked with both of his arms. Ojiro wrapped his tail around Juzo's leg and swung him above him before trying to send him back to the ground, which Juzo countered by sending another kick directly to Ojiro's abdomen. The kick landed directly as Ojiro spit out saliva before letting Juzo go and then dodging another kick before leaving himself wide open for a haymaker punch. Ojiro stopped it with both of his arms before hitting Juzo's arm with his own spick kick before flipping backwards, landing a bicycle kick on Juzo's jaw as he did a hand spring. Juzo fell backwards on his back and started to get back up before the ground beneath him began to soften before it stopped. Juzo stood, breathing softly and still ready to fight before they both stopped and nodded towards one another.
"Good Fight." Izuku walked up to the two as they shook hands and grinned at both.
"Nice spar, you two. Juzo you did well considering Ojiro has way more experience with martial arts, and he could use his quirk. Although there's not much you could do about that." Ojiro chuckled while Juzo nodded and looked at Ojiro, "May you tell me anything I need to improve on?" Ojiro nodded and began to tell Juzo what he needed to work on.
"For a first spar, that wasn't bad considering you were limited on the fact that you couldn't use your quirk. For starters, I'd say don't rush in too much and try to not head into the air a lot. I guess my tail added an extra amount of stress considering it's a sixth limb, but you tried to get into the air a lot. You landed a good hit on me when you faked me out, so I'd say work on that as well." Izuku then added, "Also, practice that second stance you did mid-spar. You improved your stance and that helped a lot with your speed and dodge timing. I'd say that stance suits you, considering your quirk is basically tied to the ground." Juzo nodded as Ojiro looked at Izuku and said, "You know when this field trip starts?" Izuku shrugged and said, "Probably as soon as the whole class arrives. We better get Juzo to the nurse's office soon anyway, unless you want to improve your pain tolerance as well." Izuku's challenging smirk is all Juzo needed as Ojiro shook his head before Izuku looked at him and said, "What about you? You want to do a three-way spar?" Izuku's hand glowed white as he healed Juzo's bruises, both looking at him with a grin as they all got to three different sides before they all rushed each other, each going at speeds that warranted such a fight before a collision ensued. Flesh collided as all three blocked attacks from the other, with each having a smile on their faces.

Izuku, Juzo, and Ojiro all were showering while conversing with each other about the spar they had.
"I still don't understand how you can never get tired, even after an hour of sparring." Ojiro said while Izuku laughed and Juzo snorted. "Don't act like you both got tired either. We could've fought for much longer if we didn't decide to stop right there and make sure we are ready for the trip." Juzo added on, "I agree, plus none of us were going full speed against each other. I believe we are all saving that for the Sports Festival." Everyone smirked at one another before they all put their school uniforms on.
"Alright Juzo, see you at the place." Izuku said while he and Ojiro walked towards their class, with Juzo nodding and walking towards his room. On the way to the room, they both saw Aizawa's cocoon hanging at the front desk before seeing Iida already in his seat, thirty minutes before class started. Izuku snorted before Iida walked up and bowed, "Akatani, Mashirao, how are you this fine morning?" Izuku and Ojiro looked at each other before chuckling, Izuku saying, "Good Morning Iida. Why are you here so early?" Ojiro snickered before Iida moved his arms in a robot-like manner and replied with, "I am simply showing the dedication of what a UA student should be showing at all times. I am surprised you are here without Shinso, Kirishima and Kaminari however." Izuku didn't waste any time in his response and said, "I came here 2 hours ago, I was just sparring with Ojiro and someone from Class 1B, I wanted to warm myself up for today." The three heard a grunt and turned to see Aizawa's bag being unzipped and Aizawa looking at all three before saying, "That's good you are not getting complacent with your skills. I assume you work out every day before school?" Izuku nodded and said, "My group and I work out every day as long as we aren't burnt out. Whether it be a 8 km run, 50 meter sprint, or bench presses. Itsuka Kendo from 1B has a family that runs a gym, so most of the group heads there."
Aizawa approved and questioned, "Is there an area where quirk usage is allowed?" Izuku nodded and replied, "Yeah, it's where most of the quirk sparring happens apart from my Reality Simulator. Itsuka's dad got it registered a while ago." Aizawa nodded before zipping back up as Ojiro and Iida looked at him bewildered while he just shrugged. They each took a seat while waiting for the rest of the class to come. Iida asked Izuku for some tips on how to improve his quirk before Jirou walked in and saw Izuku, giving him a short wave before walking up and stopping right in front of him.
"Thanks for yesterday, Blue, I appreciate it." She walked away before he could even respond, not willing to show him the slight smile she had on her face as he just looked at her with a smile.
"No problem, Jirou." He whispered to himself with a grin as she plugged her earphone jack into the ground and heard him before turning around, seeing his grin widen as she shook her head and chuckled. She put on some headphones and listened to a song she discovered yesterday before Nozomi walked in, looking at everyone before settling on Izuku. She narrowed her eyes before shaking her head as Izuku looked confused before Sero walked in with Bakugo, who seemed to be in an off-mood already if the veins on his head weren't confirming it.
Eventually, multiple people came and Izuku saw Hitoshi before waving at him, Hitoshi walking up and giving him a fist-bump before Kirishima and Kaminari did the same. Aizawa saw everyone was there and unzipped his sleeping bag before saying in a dead tone, "Alright everyone, listen to me clearly. As you already know, today we will be having a field trip headed up by me, All Might, Class 1B's teacher and someone else. We will be doing rescue training. I'm sure you understand why you must do this training." Momo raised her hand and said, "We must be able to deal with any kind of natural disaster, whether it be a flood, wildfire, or mountain slide." Aizawa nodded before saying, "Yes, but rescue training also includes collapsing buildings, city takeovers, and hostage situations."
"Flood disasters should be my specialty, kerro." Tsuyu said with her hand rubbing her chin as Kirishima pumped his fist, "Yes, I can't wait. This is what a hero job is all about!"
"Let me finish…" Aizawa's emotionless voice made everyone silent before he continued, "As I was saying, you can choose if you want to wear your hero outfits. Head to the locker rooms to change if you are and meet at the buses in 10, or we'll leave you behind. Single file, please." The class almost flooded out of the room before Mei appeared at the door.
"Ah yes, my mistake. Some of you will be getting your improved costumes today." Aizawa drawled out before Mei winked at Izuku and got in front of the class.
"Hello everyone! My name is Mei Hatsume, future CEO of Hatsume Inc. I have the new hero gear for the following people in this class, brought to you by me and Izuku." She sent a thumbs up to Izuku as Izuku sent one back before she read the list.
"Toru Hagakure, Momo Yaoyorozu, Kyoka Jirou, Eijiro Kirishima, Fumikage Tokoyami, Ochaco Uraraka, Tsuyu Asui, Denki Kaminari, Mina Ashido and Hanta Sero, please follow me to your new gear!" Hatsume yelled before the following students looked at each other before giving Izuku an interested look as he just grinned at them. They all went out to see Togaru and Jurota outside their class before Mei led them away. Izuku and Hitoshi both walked out before they both threw the capsules that held their outfits, the rest of the class just looking confused at what just happened. Iida and Aoyama ended up walking out, Bakugo following them begrudgingly while Ojiro went to put on his Gi, Mineta walked out with a dazed look, Todoroki quietly sauntered out with Shoji following him, and Nozomi left before Aizawa locked the door.

Kyoka Jirou didn't know what to expect when she walked away with half her class, being led by a person who Izuku knew well, but she had no relation to. Uraraka, Mina and Toru chatted amicably with Mei while she walked next to them, only having Momo to speak with before she was called on by her.
"Hey, Jirou right?" Jirou turned to see Mei looking at her with a smile before she responded with, "Yeah, that's me."
"You'll love what Izuku made you. He worked on it all by himself, said he didn't want any help from me on it." Jirou noticed the girl looked mad at that, but didn't comment as Momo asked, "Why do you think Akatani decided to work on yours by himself?" Jirou shrugged and said, "No clue. I have no idea what goes on in Blue's mind, other than he's almost always positive." They looked forward as Jirou used her heartbeat and plugged her earphone into the floor to hear what everyone was saying and they were all talking about the same thing, the field trip.
"I just know Blue has something to do with the field trip, considering what he told me yesterday." Jirou thought to herself before she was tapped on the shoulder by Uraraka.
"Hey Jirou, what do you think Izuku did to your outfit?" Jirou looked and saw Mina talking to Momo, Toru talking to Tsuyu, Sero talking to Kirishima and Kaminari with Tokoyami following behind them and said, "He probably didn't change much if I'm being honest. I only asked for small upgrades after all." Uraraka then said, "I hope they did well with mine, everyone here is so excited to get something new." Uraraka's bubbly nature made Jirou crack a smile as they all eventually arrived at briefcases that had their names on it.
"Alright…" Mei turned around and faced the group, "You can go to your locker rooms and try out your outfits. There are notes in each briefcase for what upgrades your gear received and how they changed. Thanks for the time." Mei ran towards the Support Course laboratory as they all shrugged and got their suitcases. Jirou looked at Togaru and Jurota, seeing them looking at their suitcases with smirks as if they already knew what was in there before she looked at Kirishima and Kaminari and saw matching grins on their face. She frowned slightly before walking to the girls' locker room with her group and setting her suitcase down before every girl looked at each other.
"Alright, who wishes to go first?" Momo asked before Toru yelled, "ME!" She opened her suitcase with haste and saw her new costume for the first time before quickly swiping it and taking it into a stall. Each girl wondered why Toru was being secretive before she came out wearing goggles and a reflective outfit. The girls saw floating reflective gloves, boots, knee pads, and elbow pads before Toru cheered.
"Watch this!" Toru then turned her costume invisible and started walking around, but no one could hear her as her boots were muffling her footsteps. She then turned her costume back on as the girls got scared before she twirled around.
"Girls, he really improved it. This is so much better than before." Toru pumped her fist as Mina yelled, "ME NEXT!" She opened her suitcase to reveal her original costume was some slight changes, such as less fur, gauntlets to shoot acid out of, and boots with holes in it to secrete acid from. She put on her costume and shot acid out of her gauntlets before letting some slip out of her boots and jumped.
"This is so cool. He kept the design and improved it. Awesome!" Mina admired the design before Uraraka and Tsuyu opened there at the same time. They both went inside the stalls before coming out with much different looks. Uraraka now had her colors switched around along with paddings around the outside sleeves, grappling hooks on each wrist. She also had different boots on before pressing a button and thrusting forward. Tsuyu had on a nearly identical costume, but this time had a thermometer that could control the temperature she felt around her, as well as armor underneath her costume, so she could take more hits. Tsuyu tested the thermometer and felt it getting warmer before she adjusted it to normal and smiled.
"Wow, Mei and Izuku really took time to think about this. They made sure I wouldn't have trouble moving around when I use my quirk." Uraraka wowed at her outfit as Tsuyu added on, "Yeah, even if I asked for small changes, the armor underneath as well as the thermometer are really nice touches." Momo then opened hers and many new things, so she immediately walked inside the stall and the others waited a long time while she got her costume ready before she exited the stall elegantly as the girls admired her outfit. Momo now had on a top with a zipper in front with silver elbow pads that were open and open red gloves. She also had one belt with pouches for snacks and equipment as well as a wristband with a red button. For her legs, she had on red leggings that showed skin in different areas but covered up her thighs and showed her calves, making it more practical. Her shoes were now lightweight see-through boots, and there was a small poncho that could be used in some situations.
"Wow, he really added some things." She looked down before asking, "Does it look good?" All the girls nodded as Tsuyu said bluntly, "It looks less sexualised." Momo blushed before stammering as Jirou smirked at her. "I needed to show skin…" Momo tried to defend herself as Uraraka said, "At least Izuku decided to cover you up a little while giving you more skin in better locations. He even gave you pouches to keep snacks in so you can eat and get lipids back." Momo then saw the button and pressed it, revealing a blue screen that showed the molecular substances of multiple items. "What the…"
"Dang Yaomomo, they went off for you." Mina yelled out as she looked stunned before Jirou gulped and looked at her suitcase. She slightly opened it before closing it and walking inside the stall, setting it down before thinking, "I swear to god Blue, if you messed with mine." Jirou opened her suitcase to reveal a violet jacket with salmon lining and light blue hem. The salmon lining connected at a point where multiple amps were found on her jacket. She then looked at her gloves and saw open-fingered white gloves with pitch devices connected to it. She then saw a utility belt that was violet and white before seeing that the boots were violet and salmon with the design of an electric guitar. She looked at the notes he left that told her everything she needed to know.
Boots can create powerful low pitches
Gloves can shift the pitch of your quirk to higher or lower
The amps on your jacket can allow you to get more sound output.
Make sure it has skin contact, as the amps and gloves won't work if not directly connected.
She slowly exhaled before putting on the outfit. Before long, she put everything on perfectly and saw a little capsule in her suitcase. She pressed it and smoke came out as the girls all looked confused before hearing Jirou gasp and got even more interested. Jirou eventually came out and the girls all saw the violet and white-striped electric guitar as well as Jirou's new outfit.
"Wow Jirou…" Momo couldn't speak as all the girls looked stunned before Jirou looked at them with wide eyes as she read the note that came with it.
"You can connect your earphone jacks to this guitar to play riffs that can knock an opponent off their game and get multiple opponents as this is a directional weapon that sends vibrations. When you play it, your heartbeat rate increases, so watch out for that and only use it when you feel you must until you're sure you can handle it." She read it out loud as the girls all cheered her on before Mina said, "Damn! Jirou, he really went all out for you. He changed your whole style and gave you a new thing to use." Mina grabbed the notes and saw what Izuku had written for Jirou and grinned. "He really upgraded your costume to the max. It fits you." Momo walked up and looked Jirou up and down before adding on, "Yeah, he really outdid himself with you." Jirou was shell-shocked before smiling and putting the guitar on her back and putting her newly improved headphones on, "Thanks Blue. I don't know how to repay you, but you're a goddamn genius."
"We all look great! Izuku and Mei did amazing. I can't wait to see what the others think of us." Uraraka cheered as everyone nodded with a smile before they walked out with confidence brimming out of their bodies. They all looked towards the boys and saw how some of their costumes had improved. Kaminari now had gauntlets around his arms that could send copper discs for his lightning to hit as well as a staff that was made of conductible steel. He also had a counter on his arm that displayed the voltage he would have released, thus telling him how much closer he would get to his limit. Kirishima had armor for his jaw that covered his whole mouth, red kevlar armor that fit his body type, and arm bands that could stretch when he hardens. Tokoyami now had armor on his arms as well as a foldable cloak that he could unfold to protect Dark Shadow from light and a dark red scarf that emitted light whenever Dark Shadow got too out of control. Sero had on mostly the same outfit besides extra tape supply that he could use and armor around his arms and legs so he could take hits. The girls then looked at Togaru and Jurota as Togaru grew a blade that passed through his costume with no trouble and retracting it, having no rips. Jurota had black and brown stretchable armor with steel-toed black combat boots that could also stretch with his quirk. Kirishima saw Jirou and grinned sharply at her with a smug look as Jirou now knew what he was up to before everyone walked towards the buses.

Izuku and Hitoshi walked toward the buses slowly, enjoying the walk on the way there before they met up with Neito at the USJ.
"What levels do you think Nezu brought up?" Hitoshi asked with a sigh as Izuku immediately said, "There will most likely be a snow level, but other than that, clueless. Nezu really wants us fooled." Both shook their heads as they arrived at the buses and saw some 1B students on the bus, including their group. They both waved as the class all waved back, Izuku looking at Ibara for a split-second to see her focusing on him alone as he smiled at her before turning away. She noticed his glance and smiled softly before holding a prayer as Izuku got on the 1A bus to see Nozomi sitting with Bakugo, Todoroki sitting alone, Shoji sitting with Ojiro, and Iida sitting with Aoyama while in a down mood. He looked at Aoyama with a raised eyebrow before he answered, "Moi, he is saddened that there are no assigned seats." Izuku chuckled while Hitoshi breathed in a sigh of relief before they sat down and put on their headphones, about to listen to a song before Aizawa walked in and laid down at the front.
Izuku and Hitoshi both took looks at the man's sleeping bag before looking back at each other and shrugging. Before long, the rest of the class came in and Izuku saw how all of their costumes were and grinned. Iida and Nozomi saw Ochaco's new outfit and gaped before she smiled bubbly at the two of them and said, "Hey, you guys! Check it out!" She did a twirl and smirked at the two before Mina walked in with Toru and Asui, then followed by Kirishima with Kaminari, Tokoyami with Sero, and finally Momo and Jirou. As soon as she got on the bus, Izuku saw the guitar that he made for her and grinned before looking down before putting his headphones on and making it seem like he was in his own world. Jirou looked at him as she walked past before Aizawa stepped up and asked, "Alright, is everyone on?" He heard a resounding "yes" from the class and looked at Hitoshi, who was about to put his headphones on. "Shinso, get Akatani's attention." Hitoshi tapped on Izuku's shoulder and Izuku took the headphones off before Aizawa said, "I'd like a list of every upgrade you made for the students so I could read it on the ride there." He then looked at the class and said with a freezing glare, "Remember, don't rely on your support items too much. If you get complacent, you will never improve. The support items are a privilege and we are lucky that Akatani offered to make everything himself, don't misuse them." Izuku got up and gave him the lists of everyone's upgrades before he nodded and sat back down before the bus ride started. Izuku looked back and saw the 1B bus getting ready as well. He sat down again and put on his headphones before looking at Hitoshi and making him put on the headphones before they heard the song he made last week.
(Play After Dark Cover by Mr. Goatee ft. Kade Kalka)
The riff starts as Izuku begins to bob his head while others are looking at him in either annoyance, confusion or excitement.
So I'm undercover now, I'm taking my shot to run away
Keepin' Low
The class all turns to him as he starts to sing out loud with his music while Hitoshi is side-eying him before sighing with a chuckle
Try to lift off the ground, but I feel the wings fall off of me
Broke them off
The bus jerks forward as they begin to go down the road, Izuku now fully bobbing his head to the beat and riff. Mina pulls out her phone and begins to record him singing while others are enjoying the sound of his voice before he suddenly turned on his speaker.
A sweet aroma I've gotten used to, I feel it all around
Suddenly a familiar voice begins
Crying out
Izuku jumps up and startles the class before Iida tries to yell at him to sit back down and turn it off, Uraraka hitting him on the head before shushing him as the whole class is now focused on Izuku's performance, thinking he didn't notice they were watching.
All that's left of hope and power, might keep on and fly again
But how long will it carry on
Izuku opened his eyes and grinned at the class as they all widened their eyes before his eyes glowed light blue as the class took extra notice of that
Start to walk a lonely journey, saving all that I got left
Soon the world will swallow it all up
He looked at every member of his class before looking at the other bus and grinning as he saw the other bus staring at him from the back door, not knowing what was going on
I may not ever wake up, if all I know is giving up
Cause all I need is to say
He looked at Bakugo, who glared at him before he looked at Nozomi with a grin, as if daring her to do something as she widened her eyes. He then looked at Todoroki who stared back with an emotionless stare. He then looked at Hitoshi before looking at the 1B bus and seeing everyone there before turning to face his whole class.
"HEY, I-IIII NEED TO WIN!"
He glowed a clear blue before pointing a fist at the whole class, reminding them of what happened their first day. In the front, Aizawa grinned as he knew what Izuku was doing.
"Firing up the class huh, you damn problem child."
(End Song)
Izuku took off his headphones and grinned like a shark at the whole class, seeing their reactions before he received some cheers and shocked looks. Mina, Toru, Kaminari, Kirishima, Sero and Uraraka cheered him on while Mineta grumbled before stopping himself and smiling slightly. Tokoyami, Shoji, Todoroki had no changes to their facial features while Aoyama, Ojiro, Momo, and Tsuyu all gave varying smiles while Iida could say nothing, so he just muttered about the disturbance with a short smile. Hitoshi had a hand on his face, but a hidden grin that only Izuku saw. Bakugo muttered something under his breath while Nozomi furrowed her eyes at what the performance meant, but kept her thoughts to herself as she did quite enjoy it. She could separate the fighter Izuku Akatani from the person. The last person who Izuku looked at was Jirou, who had a simple smirk on her face as he smirked back.
"That was amazing, such a manly performance!" Kirishima yelled out as Izuku gave him a thumbs up before Mina ran up to him and showed him the video. "You made that? That sounded great!" Izuku shrugged and said, "Music is a hobby. If you want a really musical specialist, you should look at Jirou. After all, she was the first person who listened to this song." The class looked at her as she glared bloody murder at him before he laughed at her as Tsuyu said, "Izuku, you know how I always speak my mind, right?" Izuku sat back down and looked at Tsuyu and said, "I mean, you are the most blunt person here, Tsu." Everyone wondered about the nickname before Tsuyu asked, "Why do you want to be a hero? You could become big in multiple categories like music and inventing?" Izuku looked at her before looking at his hand with a serene smile, everyone wondering what was going on in his head before he said softly, "I want to help…" He looked up and his eyes glowed blue, everyone staring while Aizawa listened in.
"I want to show anyone that they have what it takes to be anything they want. I want to save people, regardless if I get fame or not. I want to save people with a smile, I want to help people who need help. I want to inspire a new generation, quirk or not. I want to leave a mark on this world, showing everyone that they are free enough to not be dragged down by society. You heard stories of people becoming villains because they have 'villainous quirks,' but it doesn't matter. I want to show the entire world that anyone can be a hero. I came from nothing, lived alone my whole life, but I still stand strong and unwavering…" He didn't notice that during this, his eyes began to glow as he looked at Tsuyu before staring at the class, letting his bright green glowing eyes show themselves for the first time.
"And I want to show everyone that they can be that way as well." His million-watt grin sent many people to their thoughts, thinking about their own lives and how they were blessed. While all of this was going on, Todoroki silently scoffed before looking up and seeing Izuku looking at him with a smile, as if he knew something.
"If anything, this just proves you're going to be a top hero with that mentality. Add onto that with the fact you got a flashy quirk, you're set. You, Bakugo, Todoroki, and Yagi all have great quirks. Mine is just Hardening." Kirishima said before Aoyama added, "Moi, my quirk is flashy as well."
"Yeah, but your stomach hurts right after you use it." Mina added with a laugh as Nozomi spoke up suddenly, "You don't need to have a flashy quirk, Kirishima. It all matters on how your personality is." Kaminari laughed and said, "Yeah, Bakugo is too angry, he won't be famous."
"The hell did you say about me, Pikachu? I'll be an amazing hero!" Bakugo yelled out as Momo shook her head, "Such foul language, I wonder how you got through the interview process." Izuku laughed as Bakugo yelled, "And what's that supposed to mean, Bob the Builder?" Tsuyu croaked and said, "That's exactly why. You get too defensive whenever someone criticizes you." Bakugo grumbled before Nozomi hit him on the head as he began to burn before she glared at him. "Don't make me call Aunt Mitsuki." The class all looked as Bakugo shut up before they widened their eyes and saw Izuku laughing his ass off.
"No way, Bakugo got bitched!" He held onto Sero as both began to laugh before Bakugo's hands started to spark until Aizawa stood up and glared at all of them before they all gathered themselves.
"Enjoyment is an incredible energizer to the human spirit."

Both buses arrived at a large building before stopping as everyone got out, both classes mixing as they stared each other down before Izuku walked in the middle and said his greetings to the other class.
"What's up, you guys?" He fist bumped Itsuka, Sen and Yosetsu before slapping Neito on the shoulder as he gave Setsuna a smirk before hugging Kinoko and side-hugging Yui. He then went over to Jurota and Togaru and asked, "How are your costumes, you two? Any thoughts?" Jurota nodded in respect while Togaru grinned and said, "Thanks man, this costume is fucking great. My blades can easily pass through, just like you said." Jurota added on, "Yes, this is much more practical for my quirk than before, as it also gives protection. Thank you once again, Izuku." Izuku gave Jurota a fist bump before nodding at Reiko with a smile. Tetsutetsu and Rin walked up to Kirishima and Tetsutetsu asked, "You're Kirishima, right?" Kirishima hardened his arm and said, "That's right. You must be Tetsutetsu, nice to meet you man!" Tetsutetsu turned his arm to steel as they both clasped each other's hands with grins as Rin's arm turned to scales before he offered Kirishima a handshake. "My name is Hiryu Rin, a pleasure." Juzo walked up to Momo and offered her a handshake. "It's been a while since the recommendation exams, Yaoyorozu." Momo gave him one back and said, "Yes, it has Honenuki. Have you been well?" Juzo and Momo had a conversation while Kosei walked up to Mineta and Kaminari. "Yo, what's up you two? Name is Kosei Tsuburaba." Kaminari pointed finger guns at him and said, "Hey man, name is Denki Kaminari, and this is Minoru Mineta." Mineta then looked at the girls of 1B and said, "Wow, you have some really cute girls over in your class." He began salivating while Kosei nodded sagely, "Yes man, I understand the pain. Having so many cute females around me everyday hurts me physically and mentally." Mineta and Kaminari saw a similar spirit within Kosei and began to talk about the girls before Tsuyu hit them all with her tongue.
Bakugo stood alone before Togaru walked up to try to talk with him before he said, "Don't even try to come close to me, you fucking extra." Bakugo didn't care about what he said next until he heard what Togaru said, "Who the fuck are you calling an extra?!" Bakugo glared at Togaru as Togaru glared back at him before Bakugo's hands began sparking while blades began forming out of Togaru's hands before Nozomi stopped Bakugo and Setsuna stopped Togaru. Jirou and Ibara stood by each other, watching it happen with annoyance on their faces before nodding at one another.
Bondo stood silently with Shoji and Todoroki while Kuroiro stood with Tokoyami in the shadow, each staring at each other before both nodding in respect for the dark. Shoda stopped to talk with Aoyama, Ojiro and Sero while Uraraka tried to have a conversation with Yui and Reiko before Mei jumped out of the bus to talk with her about her upgrades while members of the support course came out of the bus following her. Iida and Jurota tried to calm everyone down while Izuku, Neito, and Hitoshi all stood together before they all heard a whistle and saw Aizawa standing next to Kan.
"Enough chatter, let's head inside." Aizawa and Kan began to walk before Nozomi asked, "Mr. Aizawa, where's All Might?" Aizawa cursed silently as he said, "He'll arrive, he just has hero work to take care of." He clenched his fists slightly as he silently cursed the number 1 hero before walking inside with Kan while the students talked. Izuku, Hitoshi, and Neito kept to themselves since they already knew who was going to be there before Izuku got tapped on the shoulder and looked to see Jirou looking at him.
"Yeah, what's up Jirou?" He saw her smile and looked confused before she pointed at her guitar and said, "Thanks for the upgrades. You made me look more like a hero than I did before." Izuku shook his head and said, "It's no problem, but don't downplay yourself, you looked good before." Jirou heard this and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"I meant that your original costume looked good before, it enhanced your natural beauty and rockstar look." Izuku said nonchalantly as Jirou had wide eyes at what he said.
"Wait, what…" Izuku saw the blush forming on her face as he smiled at her and said, "Yeah, did you think you didn't look good before? You're cute, Jirou." He gave her a grin as she mulled over what he said before they came to a courtyard and stopped when they saw someone in a spacesuit waiting for them, Uraraka screaming in joy in the background.
"Oh my god! It's Thirteen, the space hero! She's my favorite!" Thirteen noticed the group of students as well as Aizawa and Kan and made her way over to them, hearing the praise that the students gave her on the way and waving the group over before standing in front of Kan and Aizawa.
"Aizawa, Kan, nice to see you finally arrived." Thirteen said as Aizawa didn't respond before he asked quietly, "Where's All Might?" Thirteen put up the number three as both Kan and Aizawa knew what that meant before grumbling, while Thirteen looked at the crowd of students.
"Support Course students, follow Kan to the control room." She ordered them as Mei cheered while the others followed behind. They eventually disappeared as the students all looked at the multiple domes that surrounded the fountain. Izuku, Neito, and Hitoshi narrowed their eyes at the 3 domes that were kept secret even from them before Thirteen began her speech.
"As you all know, I am the Space Hero: Thirteen. Welcome to the place that I designed along with Nezu and help from Akatani, Monoma and Shinso." Both classes looked at the three as Thirteen snapped for their attention again.
"This is the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, also known as the USJ. This is where we shall help you train to make sure you can handle rescue operations and your quirks." She saw a raised hand and looked to see Momo with her hand raised.
"Aren't we already training to handle our quirks?" She asked with haste as Thirteen shook her head before asking, "Do any of you know what my quirk is?"
"Your quirk is Black Hole! It allows you to create a black hole to suck stuff into, which can prevent enemies from escaping." Uraraka yelled out as Thirteen nodded and said, "Good, but you also know what dangers my quirk may contain." Some students understood what she meant as she continued. "My quirk could easily kill someone if I'm not careful. If a person gets sucked into a black hole I create, they would be turned to dust immediately. However, I'm still a hero, even with this quirk. It's because I was so careful that I was able to become a hero, and now I'm here to teach you restraint as well as help your journey by making sure you understand that importance."
Izuku listened to Thirteen's speech, taking in the facts she just relayed to them. It's true, some quirks could kill not if not handled correctly. He immediately thought of his own and how he had trouble controlling it before, how much damage he would cause to the surrounding area before learning control. He looked at his arm and saw a blue wisp emerge from it for a second, giving it a serious look before looking at Thirteen. He then saw a ripple next to the fountain and frowned before seeing a second ripple above them as he looked up. He wasn't the only one to notice this ripple, as Neito and Hitoshi saw the same ripple as they both looked to see him looking up. No one noticed them looking, and a purple portal suddenly opened above them without making noise. The trio's eyes widened before Izuku screamed out as his body glowed bright blue, "WATCH OUT!"
He jumped up as everyone looked confused before seeing the portal snap shut. He landed and looked around before looking at the fountain and seeing the portal open again. He wanted to run before stopping himself and looking at Aizawa to see him confused but also angry. Thirteen on the outside looked expressionless, but on the inside she was shocked and ready to battle.
"Oh cool! You guys even got fake villains." Kirishima rang out as Izuku jumped to the front before Neito and Hitoshi joined him, each standing in rapt attention while Izuku shouted, "CHAOS BOOST!" Blue energy of great magnitude exploded from his body as people who knew Izuku immediately knew this was serious, as he wouldn't use his Chaos Boost right off the bat. Aizawa looked at Izuku and yelled, "Akatani, Monoma, Shinso! Stand down, immediately!" The trio gave Aizawa a look as he glared at them before putting on his goggles and saying, "Kirishima, those aren't fakes." The class grew shocked as a person with multiple hands on their body walked out of the portal, being followed by a behemoth with its brain exposed. Following them were multiple villains, each equipped with a weapon. Knives, pistols, bats and a multitude of people, matching the amount of students and more. The portal eventually closed before the man with the hands spoke up, lifting his head and looking straight at the class before muttering, "What a bummer. I thought the great Symbol of Peace would be here." He then lifted his hands before grinning psychotically behind the hand that covered his face and said loud and clear, "No matter… We will wait for the final boss to show up. For now…" He then pointed at the class, showing his calloused hands to everyone there.
"Kurogiri, separate everyone. We can't have this group of grunts try to interfere with the fight against the final boss." The portal turned into a man that comprised a dark purple mist with yellow eyes, suit and tie.
"Yes Tomura Shigaraki, let me just take care of transporting you, then taking Thirteen out." Kurogiri bowed before standing up and turning back into the portal before disappearing. While all of this was going on, Aizawa stared at every villain before yelling, "Someone, call UA immediately! We need to let them know we are under attack!" He then thought about Kan and the support students and cursed out loud before Kaminari said, "There's no signal, someone is jamming it."
"If someone is jamming it, then Mr. Kan will eventually catch up to them soon if he wasn't apprehended beforehand. We just have to wait until then." Izuku sounded out as Aizawa nodded before saying with an emotionless voice, "Thirteen, get the students out of here. I'll deal with this the best I can until you get back up. Find Kan and make sure he gets to me, quickly!" Aizawa held no time for argument as he simply rushed in while all 40 students watched their teacher/supervisor run right towards the group of villains with no fear.
"Damn it, Mr. Aizawa! Let us help you!" Hitoshi shouted out as Thirteen said hurryingly, "Let's go. We need to leave!"
Thirteen led the students, including a reluctant Izuku, Bakugo, Nozomi, Hitoshi, Neito, Kirishima, and many others away from the battle, refusing for the students to get hurt.

Notes:
I decided to split the USJ in two. Hope no one gets mad.
Ibara's POV: I included it to show her thoughts about Izuku and how she really admires him., but also isn't afraid to question him and wants answers.
Nozomi's Opinion: Yeah, she doesn't hate Izuku, but wants to prove that she's stronger. In other words, put him in his place. When you are praised countless times and someone upstages you countless times after that praising, you will need a reality check.
Izuku, Ojiro, and Juzo: Yeah, Juzo's improving. I want him to get stronger, since he's a vital character for this story with his quirk being a rival to Izuku's speed. Ojiro is a martial artsit, so I thought he, Izuku and Juzo training together would add a nice touch.
Bus Ride: Please check that song out, it's so damn good! But yeah, Izuku riled up his class with that song and then got into the conversation with Tsuyu about his ideals, which he aired out to the class.
Next Chapter: The hero course takes action, Izuku tries to make contact with UA, and the fight versus the Nomu.
