Izuku was a bit disappointed with his second day at school, but maybe he shouldn't have expected so much. UA is still a high school after all, at least the work seemed easy enough for him to understand. But throughout the whole day he could feel a pair of eyes constantly watching him, their gaze burning into the back of his head. He raised his hand to scratch his head however, this wound up in him getting called on by Ectoplasm. His head popped up, pulling him from his day dreams. He took a quick look at the board and took a moment to try and answer.

Squeak

His teacher seemed to be confused by his response.

"I'm sorry, but can you repeat that?" She asked of the rabbit boy. He gave a gentle huff to himself. He didn't want to talk, but if he had to then he will. He opened his mouth to answer, but the end of the period saved him. He exhaled in a moment of relief, as around him his peers began conversation about their next class. They seemed excited, but for what reason he didn't know. Wait what was his next class? He was in the process of remembering until someone entered quite dramatically.

"I…AM ENTERING LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" Izuku noted the fact that she was hanging off the door frame with her cape blowing without wind. This was in no way normal. Wait a minute. Wasn't this the hero that his captor would rant about with disdain? All Might! Izuku stood up on his seat, his full attention on All Might now. The rest of his peers seemed equally excited.

"HELLO THERE MY YOUNG STUDENTS IN TRAINING! WELCOME TO YOUR FIRST HEROICS CLASS! JUMPING RIGHT INTO THINGS, TODAY WE WILL BE DOING"

All Might then flipped up a sign. Written on it in big letters were the words BATTLE TRIAL. Izuku eyes began to fill with fear. Memories began to resurface of his time in captivity. Being thrown into a room, tasked to just survive against those mutilated bodies of women. Those poor women who had been turned into monsters. He began to rub his eyes, taking breaths through his hands to calm himself. He could hear the wall behind him opening up in 20 slots. He looked back to see suit cases coming out of holes in the walls.

"YOU KNOW THE OLD SAYING; THE CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN, RIGHT? WELL, I'D LIKE TO THINK THE SAME APPLES TO HEROES AS WELL! NOW GO AND GRAB THE SUITCASE WITH YOUR NAME!" All Might instructed the students. Everyone quickly made their way over to the suitcases, chattering excitedly as they got the one made for them.

Izuku approached the wall, not able to see if a suit case had his name on it from the ground. He crouched down and then leapt into the air, bringing himself higher than even his classmate's heads. He tried to look over the suitcases as fast as possible but only read about 6 due to how many others were in the way. He felt himself start to descend, bracing himself for landing. Only to feel two hands catch him. He reacted violently for a second, flailing about before calming down quickly. It was a miracle he didn't activate his quirk. He looked back as best as he could. It was a girl with a rock-like head. Koda if he remembered correctly. He was a bit surprised when he found his ear brought close to her mouth, and was then calmed when he heard a whisper.

"Would you like some help?" Izuku's head quickly turned to look at the girl. He could understand her just fine but, it was as if she was speaking like an animal. Putting aside his surprise, he nodded and allowed Koda to help him. He felt comfortable with her, it was like he was being spoken to by one of his own kind.

Izuku looked over his suitcase in the empty locker room that was basically his. He opened it, smiling at the fact that his simple request had been met. He took out his costume and put it on with a smile.

Izuku hopped out to the training area All Might instructed them to meet her at. He was, once again, the first one out. This was thanks to having a simple costume. It consisted of a red belt with a black buckle and pouches, and slightly dulled sea-foam green shorts with a white line running down the sides of his legs. He stood near All Might, staring at her. He began to recognize her as the tall lady that would stare at him from around the corner.

"H-HELLO THERE YOUNG IZUKU! I HAVE TO SAY, I LIKE YOUR COSTUME! SIMPLE BUT DISTINCT!" She complemented, looking a bit uncomfortable. Izuku smiled. He decided to talk with All Might, he felt he could trust her enough to hear the sound of his voice considering she was her captors arch enemy.

"Thanks. Why do you just watch me from around the corner?" He said, asking the first thing that came to mind.

"A-AH! I WAS SIMPLY KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU STAY SAFE! YOU ARE QUITE SMALL, WOULDN'T WANT YOU GETTING BY STEPPED ON NOW WOULD WE!" She said, giving a hearty laugh. Izuku smiled, glad that All Might seemed to want to protect him.

"Also, why do you smell like the skeleton lady-"

All Might was saved from having to answer this question, by the arrival of other students. Izuku turned to look at the incoming heroes-in-training. He found himself pretty impressed by the outfits of his peers, the range of them all was vast, but to him the most surprising was Iida's. It looked to be a full suit of armor! He began to hop over to get a closer look until he was stopped by a familiar redhead.

"Hey! Nice costume, I'm surprised they let you go shirtless. I tried to but they added a bra to my outfit. I wonder why…" She pondered. Izuku thought about it himself, and came to the conclusion that it had to something to do with Kirishima's chest. He was going to turn to look back at Iida, but found his gaze attracted to another person. It was Uraraka, in a skin-tight black and pink space-themed costume. It looked really cool! He quickly hopped over to her. Making excited squeaks at her.

"O-Oh! Hey Usagi, I didn't see you in the changing room! But then again you are pretty small. I like your costume! But why are you shirtless?" Uraraka asked, bending down a bit to speak to the rabbit. Izuku couldn't explain it, but he found himself enjoying talking with her. He patted his chest, trying to show that it's because he has none.

"Your…fur? I guess that would cover it…" she said, sounding a bit confused. Izuku huffed and was about to make it clearer, but All Might cleared her throat loudly to call everyone's attention.

"ALL RIGHT EVERYONE, LISTEN UP. AS I SAID BEFORE, WE WILL BE DOING BATTLE TRAILS!" As she finished speaking, questions instantly began to be fired at her.

"Will we be expelled if we fail?"

"Is it against robots?"

"How badly can we hurt them?"

"Doesn't my cape truly sparkle?"

"EVERYONE CALM DOWN, MY QUIRK ISN'T SUPER HEARING!" Izuku idly noted that having super hearing wouldn't have made that situation any better. It certainly didn't for him. All Might began to explain the situation to them.

"EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE SPLIT INTO PAIRS OF TWO. THESE PAIRS WILL BE DRAWN AT RANDOM!" All Might announced. Iida rose her hand and All Might allowed her to speak.

"Wouldn't it be better if we were allowed to choose our own teams?" She asked. Izuku had an answer in his mind already.

"In real situations, heroes don't always get to choose their partners. They have to work with whoever they have available." Momo answered. Izuku realized that he had guessed similarly.

"WELL SAID YOUNG YAOYOROZU. THAT IS THE REASON WE WILL BE CHOOSING TEAMS AT RANDOM!" All Might said to the class. As she spoke, she pulled out two boxes, no doubt to be used for the teams to be made.

It didn't take very long for the lots to be drawn, Izuku noted that it was probably due to some kind of influence on Aizawa's part back on the first day. But he himself was excited, he was paired up with Uraraka! She seemed like a really nice person, so she would probably be a good teammate. In fact, it was he and Uraraka's turn right now!

They stood patiently outside the building the trail would take place in. He looked up at the towering building curiously, he could hear two people up there. Definitely Bakugo he shivered and Iida. Maybe they should try and to the target through the side of the building. He could probably jump himself from window ledge to window ledge, and Uraraka could float herself up the building. Oh, Uraraka was speaking to him. He squeaked to let her know she had his attention now.

"I was asking if you had a plan…" She asked, looking a bit nervous. He nodded his head. She looked at him to continue, so he did as he moved toward the building looking up, and then point up. Uraraka…seemed a bit confused. He huffed, and made a climbing motion at the side of the building.

"…Oh! I think I get it!" She spoke. Izuku smiled, because it was just in time. All Might had just announced the beginning of the exam. He quickly got to work on his plan, angling himself and bounced up to the window's ledge. He looked down at her to make sure she was following. She nodded, and used her quirk on herself to remove her own weight as they began to climb the building side.

A few minutes earlier, inside

Both Iida and Bakugo stood at the top floor, having decided that this was most likely the best spot to set up at. Bakugo seemed to be a bit lost in thought at the moment. She was thinking about the green rabbit they had for a classmate. He seemed familiar to her, but she just couldn't put her finger on it. It was annoying. Something about the rabbit just made her feel like she was missing something- no, missing someone and it pissed her off. Why was this pathetic shrimp who barely came up to her knees making her feel like this?! She was going to get some answers, one way or another.

"Bakugo, do you have a plan?" Her teammate asked. Iida had placed the bomb near the back window and was standing in front of it. Katsumi didn't even face her to answer.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go get myself a roasted rabbit." She growled out. As if on que, the announcement for their start went off, and Katsumi left the room. Which left Iida to defend the bomb on her own. The knight-costumed hero-in-training just stared at the door her teammate exited from.

Now

As Izuku bounded up to the next window, he could hear and smell something. Little pops, followed by the smell of caramel. It was the explosion girl, the one that always made him shiver. Ochako say from her position below him that Izuku had slowed down all of a sudden. He was shaking a bit too. He suddenly took off from the window still, jumping past two windows with a single jump, and continuing to do so. He seemed to be in a sort of panic.

"H-Hey! Wait up!" She said, pushing herself to catch up but she was starting to feel a bit sick. Izuku snapped back from his funk to see Ochako had stopped at a window, looking a bit green. He sniffed his surroundings again; the caramel smell was lower than Ochako's placement on the building. Maybe they should continue inside…

The duo climbed into the building; they were near the top floor where Iida would most likely be. If they continued onward, they could probably avoid Bakugo altogether. Feeling invigorated from how close victory seemed, they began to run down the halls to meet Iida. It didn't take long to reach her, and the poor girl was surprised for a moment that they were both there to meet her.

"H-Haha! It seems you've managed to get past my subordinate, but unfortunately for you two, this is where your heroics end!" Iida bellowed out, then letting out a convincing villainous cackle. She was clearly into the role. So much the Izuku felt the need to give her applause, so he did. This was soon followed by Ochako laughing uncontrollably. Izuku quickly ceased his applause, bursting in with air cannons from his feet.

Iida wasn't expecting the sudden attack, but adapted quickly and posed herself to catch the boy so he could be eliminated. What she forgot however, was Izuku's other quirk. Not that she knew he was using two. Izuku's cheeks began to glow a threatening red color, smoke erupting from his cheeks where his "freckles" were. The smoke quickly transitioned into flames, turning Izuku into a 3-foot flaming bullet. Iida quickly dodged to the side and managed to catch Izuku by his leg. She quickly threw him back from where he launched from before she could be burned.

Izuku bounced off the floor in the shape of a ball once before bursting back at her.

"Trying the same thing twice I see!" Iida taunted. Izuku's face remained determined as he didn't respond whatsoever. As he neared Iida again, he stuck out a hand to his side and let off a burst off air which veered him off to the side of Iida. He stuck a leg out and let flames burst from his foot, they exploded out and knocked away Iida. She quickly regained her footing as Izuku landed at the same time. His hand stung more than his feet did after using Air Cannon only once, which was something to note as useful. The engines Iida's legs came to life as she burst forwards, arms out to capture the rabbit. Seeing the arms reached out for him, Izuku began to breathe faster, and responded by blasting himself backwards from Iida's grab. He brought both hands out to his front and blasted Iida, who was currently giving chase to him. She quickly changed her direction, and brought herself to Izuku's side. He found the entirety of his torso caught in one hand.

And unfortunately

Izuku panicked.

He let out a shriek of fear, the action did NOT remind him that he was in an exercise for school. What he saw right now was a Nomu that had captured him and was about to try and squeeze the life out of him. Flames began erupting from every port in his body and his screams got louder. Iida had already let go as her hand had been burnt from Izuku's sudden outburst, but the fires weren't shrinking. They were growing at the same level as his screaming.

"YOUNG USAGI! CAN YOU HEAR ME?! YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN!"

All Might's efforts were fruitless, as the sound of Izuku's fires had drowned out All Might's voice. His fire raged on as Iida and Ochako had made their escape from the room. The windows had soon blown out, unable to take the heat from Izuku's flames.

It had taken at least 5 minutes for Izuku to stop, and at that point the room had been scorched black. Luckily, everyone else had evacuated and the worst injury was Iida's burned hand, and Bakugo seemed to be upset at first that she basically hadn't participated at all, but seemed to be dumbstruck at the damages caused by Izuku. Found lying limb against a wall with the darkest scorches was Izuku. He was carefully retrieved by All Might and escorted by medical bots on a stretcher.

After that, the class was moved to the building next to it and class continued. Awkwardly of course, no one who spectated could get Izuku's sudden explosion off their mind. Izuku himself woke up in Recovery Girl's clinic in a panic, before he calmed down, he had partially burnt his sheets.

"Young man?" Izuku turned his head to look at Recovery Girl, who sported a worried expression.

"I really think you need to start visiting a therapist, or at the very least Hound Dog. Things like this are going to keep happening if you don't." She said in a calmed voice. Izuku looked down at his hands. The burnt remains of bandages on the front and back of his hands. The flesh itself seemed fine and untouched.

"I-I'll…t-try…" He muttered.

"That's all I'm asking of you dear."
