I have returned from my foray into Egyptian shadow magic, with a side of heroics. Now to get back to my bread and butter...Random fantasy pantheon magic! Also with a side of heroics, of course, it's like meat and potatoes, the combo is just too good.

Well, that's enough introductory nonsense for one chapter, let's get on with the show.

"And that's about all of the monsters and magical creatures that are commonly seen around Axel. If you want a more in-depth explanation of how they work and such you can always visit the library, construction should be done by now." Izuku finished giving his classmates a brief crash course of Axel's local flora and fauna.

And yes, they built a library. It just seemed like an obvious and important public work that they could spend Alderp's ill gotten gains on. The information provided by it would no doubt lower Adventurer mortality rates and improve people's education levels in general.

"So, what I'm hearing is bring weapons and don't hold back. Seriously, you guys have 10 meter tall frogs that eat goats in one bite?" Sure that wasn't much of an issue to most hero students. But they were bringing their parents too, aside from Endeavor the rest probably wouldn't be thrilled by the idea of deadly fauna.

"Ah don't worry, those frogs and most of the other fauna never get close to human settlements. And ever since we took over we made sure to write quests for regular patrols around nearby farms which protects the outer reaches too." The giant frogs were pretty easy to deal with. Even for a level one adventurer, so long as they were properly equipped of course.

"...If you say so, man." They decided to trust the locals when it came to safety. Besides, they'd have All Might with them anyway, it should be fine.

"All right, we'll go back to our world to collect some supplies then. Does anyone want to come with us?" Immediately the room erupted into yelling, each student trying to have their shot to visit another world early. Well, most of them anyway, a few of the quieter ones were ready to wait a bit more.

"Ok...We can take five, one for each of us to keep an eye on." Not seven since Aqua herself needed someone to watch over her too. "Not that I don't trust you guys of course! It's just that Axel and especially the capital city can be a bit difficult to navigate and an escort would be appropriate." Plus he didn't want any of them to accidentally get in trouble while navigating the new world.

"...Janken it is!" Class A decided, beginning a long and bloody battle between hero students for the right to- "Heck yeah! Victory for the Bakusquad!...And Uraraka-san, good job girl." Mina celebrated the victories of herself, Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, and Uraraka.

"Well, as long as everyone is ok with it. Eri-chan is coming along too, just promise me that you'll stick close to us alright?" Izuku asked in a serious tone, not wanting Eri to get lost in a strange new place, even if most of the people there would be able to help her out.

"I will Izu, and I'll stay away from the pretty ladies with wings, and the blonde person with red eyes." Ah, Kazuma taught her well. "And if I see the one in blue armor I should throw tomatoes at him...What's a tomato?" Kazuma was going to get a stern talking to later.

From Izuku anyway, he would get an ass beating from Aqua after she finds out.

The next day, Axel, guild building, Luna's office

"Izuku-kun! Welcome back, are these those hero friends that you talked about?" Luna's welcome glomp was the first thing Izuku and his extended party saw after stepping through his portal. Thankfully the surprise factor didn't eliminate Izuku's ridiculous strength so he wasn't knocked down from it.

"It's nice to be back, and yes, these are some of my old classmates. Please introduce yourselves, this is Luna-chan-" "Holy crap look at the size of them! And no bra too!" An unexpected voice said from behind Aqua.

What?

"Mineta-kun. Why are you on Aqua-chan's back? Also how? And since when?" How did she not notice him!... Oh right. Maxed out stats and Mineta wasn't exactly a massive addition. "Nevermind that, please just get off and don't cause trouble…" Izuku realized that someone would need to pull double duty to watch over the grape stow away.

It couldn't be Megumin, she might blow him up and Yunyun didn't have the backbone to deal with Mineta's usual nonsense. Darkness would more likely than not be an enabler. Kazuma already had his hands full with Aqua. Izuku already had to watch over two people with Eri...Which left Eris.

"Please just don't maim him. Permanently." Izuku added, remembering that most damage could just be fixed by Aqua. "Ah, and keep him away from the succubus district." "THE WHAT?!"

The rest of Mineta's class chose to ignore him and let Eris drag the demonically crying boy out of the building.

The blonde guild representative awkwardly coughed into her hand and chose to ignore what had just happened in favor of properly meeting Izuku's old friends. Speaking of which, the cough caught their attention and acted as a cue to start their introductions.

"I'm Mina Ashido, we're all the same age as Midoriya-kun and my quirk is Acid, no prizes for guessing what it lets me do." The ever-energetic Mina started things out, letting loose a bit of acid to demonstrate her quirk… Forgetting that she was in a room with a wooden floor.

"Please don't do that again. I try my best to keep my office clean and well maintained." The wind in Mina's sails died faster than Dust's chances with women after opening his mouth. Replaced with sheepish and slightly guilty laughter.

Coughing a bit to clear the air Sero continued the introductions. "Sorry about that, Ashido-san can get a bit excited at times. I'm Hanta Sero, and my quirk is Tape." This time he just showed off his elbows and shot off some tape before reeling it back to demonstrate his quirk.

"Tape? Like that adhesive product that Kazuma-kun invented a few months back?" An awkward silence and a bit of glaring descended, the latter of which was directed at the second most popular young man in green.

"Oi, different world, different rules. As far as Belzerg is concerned I did invent it and I did what any responsible businessman would do in my situation." Milked the hell out of the natural monopoly and get rich before anyone else could replicate 'his' invention. Eventually, the code was cracked and other distributors began to sell the same product, but Kazuma still had his foot at the door much earlier so he didn't sweat it.

The glares turned into sheepish looks, most of them couldn't fault Kazuma for what he did...They would have done it too if they were thrust into a new world with a seeming monopoly on advanced technology. Izuku also couldn't really say anything. After all, it was partially the information provided by his tablet that fed Kazuma's little money-making operations.

Besides, nobody was getting hurt from this. The people of Belzerg were able to advance at a previously impossible rate and their party could rake in the gold from some honest, albeit lop-sided business…Oh well, they funded hundreds of public works with that money anyway, it was no weight on their conscience.

"Before we get off track again, I'm Denki Kaminari and my quirk is Electrification. I shock things basically, but if I use too much energy it messes with my head." The blonde said, adding in his quirk's drawback just in case it ever came up. Unfortunate misunderstandings could happen from a lack of information.

"I'm Eijirou Kirishima, and I harden. That's about it I guess." Yeah, his quirk was a lot less complex than the others. At least on the surface.

"Huh. It is a simple power, but simple doesn't mean bad. There's a benefit to simplicity in that it's easy to plan with." Luna tried to reassure the red-haired...Warrior? She just assumed that would be his class, though from what Izuku said classes weren't a thing in his world.

"It's nice to meet you Luna-san, I'm Ochako Uraraka and my quirk lets me negate gravity. The more I do it the more nauseous I get though, and my current weight limit is about three tons." Luna's eyes widened. That went from a seven to a twenty real quick.

"That's...A lot. Oh right, you need to touch something with those pads for it to work? That's much more balanced." Luna muttered at the end. If the young woman could just negate gravity on any object near her it would have been one of the stronger abilities that the guild leader had heard of. Right up there with advanced magic.

"Got it right in one. How did you know?" Sure her quirk had a visual part that gave people a hint, but that was a pretty big leap in logic.

"Oh, Izuku-kun told me a lot about his old classmates. Especially about a certain girl that could negate gravity with a touch, I just connected the dots from there." Luna explained, giving the brunette a wink. She could tell from how enthusiastic Izuku was when talking about the girl that there were feelings there, she just hoped that Izuku's time in Belzerg helped them get over the initial awkwardness.

"Come on, let me show you around the guild, the humble beginnings of many adventurers!" As Luna said this she opened the door to her office and the general chatter and noise of the adventurer's guild could be heard. Including the usual sounds of glass breaking and people getting punched in the face of course.

"This place certainly looks...Lively. Is that guy going to be ok?" One of the adventurers got a broken glass bottle to the stomach and was currently bleeding all over the floor. Thankfully a priest was never too far away and the relatively minor injury was healed in seconds. "Nevermind. Wow, that's so cool!" Knowing that any immediate danger to a person's life was taken care of, Mina could focus on the coolness factor of casual magic use.

"As you could probably tell, the adventurers here are a rambunctious bunch. Except for when there's actual work to be done of course. Lazy bums." She was a little salty, sue her. Though Luna may have also been a bit spoiled by how successful Izuku's party had been with completing quests.

"About that, can we register as new adventurers? From what we were told so far it sounds like a really neat power boost without any downsides." The starting process itself didn't boost stats or anything, but the leveling system? Izuku's insane growth in strength from how he was just a few months(or years from his perspective) proved just how useful it was.

"Of course! And since you're Izuku's friends we'll waive the fee of course. The kingdom could always use more heroes, even if they don't work here permanently." Besides, the fee wasn't that much anyway.

"Dibs!" The hero students all but fell over each other trying to rush towards the registration crystal. Though they slowed down considerably when Izuku warned them that the orb was both fragile and very expensive...For most people anyway.

Being the least confrontational of the hero students, Ochako calmly walked towards the crystal and gently placed her hand on it. Gasping a bit at the bright light that came with it. "Ooh, that feels kinda tingly." With that said, a card was spat out and as usual, Luna had the honor of reading it out to an adventurer's guild who finally realized that Izuku was back and paid attention to the new arrivals accordingly.

"Wow, impressive! All of your stats are significantly above average, and your Dexterity is something special." The exact numbers were as follow:

Strength: 22

Vitality: 30

Intelligence: 35

Wisdom: 30

Dexterity: 40

Luck: 15

"With stats like these, most of the standard classes are available to you. However, I recommend one that uses Dexterity as their main stat. And considering your power, the Shaolin Monk class would be a great choice!" Luna suggested. A suggestion that Ochako took easily, she already had experience with martial arts and knew just how useful the class could be for her skill set.

"Me next!" Mina made use of her classmate's curiosity and placed her hand onto the crystal while they looked at Ochako's card. "Huh, you weren't kidding, it feels a little like how my skin gets when I make acid that's a little too strong." Another card was spit out from the machine and this time Mina took it for herself to read aloud.

Strength: 18

Vitality: 57

Intelligence: 15

Wisdom: 10

Dexterity: 35

Luck: 20

"Huh? Why'd my vitality stat so high?... Oh right. Acid. Makes sense." It took Mina a moment to remember that she had a unique advantage when it came to defending against certain methods of attack. "Yo Kaminari-san, you're next! I want to test something.

Confused but accepting as usual Kaminari did as he was asked… "Pfft, I knew it!" Mina broke out into laughter upon skimming over the electric boy's stats.

Strength: 20

Vitality: 42

Intelligence: 11

Wisdom: 8

Dexterity: 15

Luck: 20

"Hey! Words hurt you know, besides we're not that far apart when it comes to intelligence...Why is my wisdom so low though?" Mineta's right-hand man questioned his life choices, sadly his intelligence meant that it would take him a while to figure it out.

"Hmm, you both seem to have higher than average vitality. For Mina-san I'd recommend the ninja class with a specialization on poisoning to capitalize on those high stats. As for Kaminari-san...The basic warrior class is probably your best bet. Nice and well rounded." The two agreed with her assessment. Mina because she thought the idea of a neon pink ninja that could spew acid was hilarious and Kaminari because he just thought it would look cool.

"My turn!" Sero rushed up to the crystal, though he didn't really need to. Kirishima had already stepped aside, not minding being last. "...yeah, that's about what I expected." He didn't bother reading his stats aloud and just showed it off to the others.

Strength: 30

Vitality: 15

Intelligence: 15

Wisdom: 13

Dexterity: 50

Luck: 15

"Swinging around on these things needs some upper body strength, the rest is pretty self-explanatory." Bootleg spider-man explained before stepping aside to let Kirishima have his chance. One card was spat out and read, once again, the results were rather easy to guess.

Strength: 40

Vitality: 150

Intelligence: 20

Wisdom: 15

Dexterity: 10

Luck: 15

"Definitely a candidate for a vanguard class. I highly recommend the Crusader class, though the Swordmaster class is also a viable option." Luna recommended, with Darkness piping up by explaining the benefits and drawbacks to the crusader class. With Kazuma clearing up the misconceptions that Darkness created by assuring Kirishima that he would still have methods of attack, Darkness was an exception, not the rule.

"Ayy! We got another advanced class here, and he's part of Midoriya-sama's posse too. I think this calls for a party! Yo Kazuma, are you gonna pay for the drinks tonight?!" Dust, sensing an opportunity to get some free drinks, spoke up and revved everyone up for a party.

"Eh, fuck it why not. Drinks are on me tonight you savages!" The tax collector had to give back to his community every now and then right? Besides, it's been a while since he had a good drink with everyone else.

"Drinks? Right, you guys said the drinking age here is way lower. Should we…" Kaminari let the question hang, not wanting to be the first to suggest it.

"Maybe another time, you guys have to be back by the end of the day so getting drunk wouldn't be the best idea. Instead, let us show you some of the local food, I'm sure you'll love it!" The Bakusquad plus Ochako were only disappointed for a millisecond before cheering up at the mention of unique and delicious food.

Giant frog legs anyone?

That will be all for now. As a fair warning I'll probably be slowing down my uploads in the coming weeks. Long story short, new job, long hours, but thankfully I only work 3-4 days a week so it shouldn't effect my hobbies too much.

Until next time, and as always, have a great day.
