Small Might: Um… Ok?

On the second day of school all of Class 1-A was at least a little excited for their afternoon class, it was finally time for basic hero studies (although technically Aizawa's test from the day before was part of the curriculum). As the day went on the excitement rose until it reached cue fever pitch excitement when All Might slid into the class with his trademark smile and said "I am here, coming in the door like a normal person!"
Aaand somehow the hype is still going strong even though that was not how a normal person entered a room.
"Class it's time, time that is for your first official Heroics class and for that we have this." as he was saying this he held out a placard which read 'Battle'. "The trial of battle but first you'll need your hero costumes, go and get changed and then meet me at ground gamma."
After this last part All Might pressed a button on a remote and sections of the wall came out with numbered suitcases corresponding to each student's number in the class. Once they were open the students rushed to the wall to find theirs and then they all went towards the locker rooms in order to get changed.
Time skip (15 minutes later)
At ground gamma while everyone was wearing their costumes and checking out each other's outfits Izuku came out with Tenya who was wearing what appeared to be a suit of armor that looked aerodynamic enough that was mostly white with blue accents.
Izuku himself was wearing a green tracksuit with white and black accents. Also included was a mesh mask meant to filter out smoke a little bit and a hood that came over his eyes with lenses in them to protect his eyes. To finish of his hero costume he had knee and elbow protectors, white gloves, and his red tennis shoes.
A minute or so after Izuku and Tenya made it to ground gamma out of the tunnel came Ochako and she was wearing a skin-tight bodysuit with equal parts black and white and some highlights of bright pink. Around her wrists were white balls with pink handles for some reason and her boots were big probably doubling the size of her calves if not more. As for her helmet, she wore one that appeared as if it was supposed to belong to a spacesuit.
'Damn, she looks good in her hero costume.' Was the first thought in Izuku's head when he saw her but then he shook his head to clear his thoughts. 'No, this is hero class you're not supposed to be thinking that kind of stuff.'
"Hey, Deku what ya doing? Nevermind that you're in hero training obviously duh. What do you think we're doing? Ooh, I really like your hero costume where did you get the inspiration for it from? Mine is based on the space hero thirteen….. Hey, Deku You're not sick are you? You're kinda red."
Izuku was not 'kinda' red as Ochako so kindly put but rather he looked like a strawberry that was at its peak. This happened because as Ochako continued on with her mini-rant she kept getting closer and closer as Izuku kept getting redder and redder until he was his current strawberry and he could barely string an actual word together. "Hsfsijdbdgdishsggdhdjshnskdygdoapnsh."
"Round face back off from the nerd before you break him more." As katsuki entered his hero costume was revealed. It consisted of dark grey or black cargo pants with metal knee guard then a black tank top with a red "X" completes his body while his head has a mask that appears like stylized explosions. To finish it off he has what appear to be two giant grenades surrounding his arms.
"Huh, what do you mean kacchan? I didn't even touch him." Replied a baffled girl.
"You're too close, he's not used to receiving female attention. And didn't I tell you not to call me kacchan!"
As she was backing up from Izuku, Ochako replied to Katsuki. "Well, you call me 'round face' it's only fair I get to call you by a nickname as well."
Katsuki blinked then stalked away with a muttered "whatever"
Izuku once again in control of his senses piped up now. "Don't worry about him he's grumpy when…well...always I guess you'll get used to it eventually."
Before anyone could say another word All Might spoke up. "All r(m)ight now that everyone's here we can get started."
Suddenly multiple people interrupted the teacher all at once.
"I wanna fight robots!"
"We are in the same area as the entrance exam will we be doing something similar?"
"Shouldn't we do some training before battling?"
"How many people do I get to kill?"
Finally, he had had enough "QUIET" after All Might could hear himself think again he said. "As many of you probably already know although the majority of the villain battles that the public sees take place outside the main action takes place inside. That said not only are the villains found indoors smarter but they normally have more complex and dangerous quirks as well. So with that in mind, we have indoor battle training."
Now taking out a piece of paper he began to tell the class the specifics of the day's activities. "The villains have hidden a bomb somewhere in the building, after a five minute headstart to hide said weapon the heroes will enter and have a further fifteen minutes to locate the bomb. In order to win either team must win using this capture tape" here he holds up a small roll of yellowish-white tape " or the hero team can touch the bomb and if times runs out the villains win."
"And before any questions are asked I'll be drawing lots to decide teams and the matchups."
This was apparently an unsatisfactory answer as Tenya asked a question anyway. "But sir why are we doing this randomly. I see no good reason why we should?"
Izuku knowing the answer already responded in lieu of All Might. "When you think about it, heroes rarely get to choose who they have to work with on the job. They're just stuck with whoever is in the area when a villain shows up."
"I'm sorry for interrupting All Might sensei, please continue." said Tenya with a bow.
"It's ok young Iida no harm done, and now onto the teams!"
Team A: Izuku Midoriya & Ochako Uraraka
Team B: Mezo Shouji & Shouto Todoroki
Team C: Mineta Minoru & Momo Yaoyorozu
Team D: Katsuki Bakugou & Tenya Iida
Team E: Yuga Aoyama & Mina Ashido
Team F: Kouji Kouda & Sato Rikido
Team G: Tsuyu Asui & Denki Kaminari
Team H: Kyoka Jirou & Fumikage Tokoyami
Team I: Toru Hagakure & Mashiro Ojirou
Team J: Eijirou Kirishima & Hanta Sero
"And now for our first match we have, for the heroes Team A, and for the villains, we have Team G. Now go villain team you have 5 minutes prep time."
Break
Outside the building that they were supposed to be raiding, Izuku and Ochako were sharing their skills and ideas.
"From what I've seen the only one we need to worry about is Denki."
"What are you talking about Deku? Tsu is really strong. She had the longest long jump out of those who actually jumped."
"Yeah, she is physically strong but it's nowhere close to strong enough to contend with Ocular Outburst."
"Well then what's the problem with Denki, is he that strong?"
"Hehe not really it's just that he's my perfect counter."
"How so?"
"I um...well...I saw him charging phones in his mouth."
"Pfft, I gotta see that someday, but anyway he's got electric powers and that'll travel straight through your water all the way to you right.?"
"Yeah, so we can't melee him, we need some longer range weaponry."
"Well if that's what you want I have the perfect idea. Now come closer."
For the rest of their allotted time Izuku and Ochako planned for how they would take down Denki and ultimately win the exercise.
Break
Back in the observation room most of class 1-A was watching the screens(there was nothing better to do, and none of them really knew each other all that well) Katsuki suddenly spoke up. "Welp, the nerd's won already."
"What are you talking about the match hasn't even started yet." Said a busty girl with a giant black ponytail. "How could you possibly know the winner already."
"It's exactly because the match hasn't started yet that I'm confident Deku and round face are gonna win. The nerd's biggest weapon is his mind, he soaks up knowledge like a sponge and notices everything. He probably already knows the basics of everyone's quirks from yesterday, which also means he has a strategy to beat all of you in the works. Give the nerd enough time and he could probably get a strategy to mess up every pro hero if he wanted to. That's why he'll win, Ponytail."
"Still he needs the time and there were some people who didn't even use their quirks yesterday, how could he have any information on them?" Said the girl who had just been dubbed 'Ponytail'.
By now everyone was paying attention to the two of them as they were the only interesting things going on right then. Then taking out a green spiral notebook Katsuki said "Here take a look at that, it's the nerd's hero analysis book, his "classmates" edition."
Looking at the notebook Ponytail said "This is actually really detailed but a lot of it is just speculation."
"Fine then let's test it, shitty hair, what's your quirk?"
Eijirou looked up at this as Katsuki had pointed at him as he spoke "Um well I can harden my skin to increase my offense and defense."
"Now, Ponytail read what's in Shitty Hair's section."
"Um, it says "Because of the quirk assessment test Eijirou Kirishima's quirk can be reduced to not being strength, speed, or mobility enhancing either it is defensive or mind-based, with the second being unlikely as there would be a low chance of getting in through the normal entrance exam."...that's actually amazing."
"Also you can never use the same attack against him twice, even if he doesn't remember it his quirk will, it's quasi-sentient, or some shit like that. Now shut up and watch Deku fuck these guys up."
Break
Izuku and Ochako were sneaking through the halls hoping to catch the villain team by surprise, they had already cleared the first three floors and were starting on the fourth at the moment. "So are we hoping that they'll come at us one at a time Deku?"
"It doesn't really matter I think we're ready." replied Izuku.
"Oh, you think you're ready do you well then here I come." said a masculine voice from down the hall followed quickly by a cry of "Indiscriminate Shock One Million Volts"
What happened next could only truly be understood in hindsight. Izuku, who had been made weightless due to Ochako's quirk, utilized his own quirk in order to kick up the floor to block the electricity. Then as Denki was standing there with a smug smile on his face out of the cloud of dust came a crack like a whip, and a stone flew out of the smoke screen towards the celebrating electric blonde.
About two meters from Denki, Tsu spiked the rock down into the ground to avoid it hitting her partner. "Damn, Tsuyu's here, this complicates things a little."
"Deku stop that, you can't act to save your life."
"Huh, fine yeah, this doesn't really change anything."
Before Izuku could finish admitting to his mistake, another two rocks came sipping out of the thinning dust. Unfortunately for the villains Denki couldn't react in time to shield himself or dodge. And alas Tsuyu was predisposed as well avoiding her own rock that had come speeding along.
Every male, and even some females, that could see what was going on cringed as they saw where the rock had hit Denki, he had been struck in the nether regions. He then proceeded to double over as the immense pain caused him to collapse.
Ochako turned towards Tsuyu and said "Well that's one down and one to go."
"Yeah, now we can go to the bomb there's nothing else we have to worry about."
"You guys know I'm still here *ribbit*?" questioned Tsuyu as she went in to attack the pair.
While Ocular Outburst dealt with the kick Izuku said "Yeah, Um, about that you can't touch me and when we're close you can't even touch Ochako. Oh yeah, Ochako do you mind using the capture tape on Denki?"
"Not at all,though did we pretty much win already?"
"Well, yeah you do *ribbit* there's nothing I can do to stop you. *sigh*" Changing her line of sight upwards Tsuyu called out "All Might I can't win, I surrender."
It took a moment but finally All Might announced over the radios "Hero teams wins! Now get back here and we'll talk about the results of the activity.
Break
"Good job you for you all did wonderfully. Now, would anyone like to garner a guess at who the MVP of this battle was?" As Ponytail raised her hand All Might nodded towards her.
"The MVP would have to be Izuku as he was the one who made a plan able to neutralize his weakness. His quirk also made it so him and his partner were untouchable by any average melee fighter. These factors allowed Izuku to lead himself and Ochako to a quick and handy victory."
"Ya'know, it's considered rude to finish quickly." said a short boy with purple balls on his head and a diaper as his hero costume.
Ignoring the boy's comment All Might began to speak "Very good miss Yaoyorozu, while it is true Izuku was the MVP for the reasons you listed I must also give praise to another of our contenders. Miss Asui I must commend you, knowing when you are outmatched is a valuable skill to possess."
"Sometimes, it can save lives to retreat instead of getting into a pitched battle that you know you can't win and possibly putting people in harm's way. Now, with our first battle done it's time for the second battle."
Break
In the end only three of the other matches were noteworthy those of Katsuki, Todoroki and Momo. The first two because of how easily they dominated the opposition and the third because of a person Katsuki dubbed Grape-perv.
Izuku had just gotten back from the bathroom when he felt the tension in the room, and Katsuki was the cause of it all because of course he was.
The ash blonde looked ready to explode, both literally and figuratively, then as Izuku approached him he said in almost a growl "Grape-perv's touched her ass three times already and tried another three."
At this Izuku zeroed in on the screening time to see Minoru try to get another feel and said "P.A.L. Status confirmed?"
To which Katsuki replied "P.A.L. Status confirmed."
"What do you think about setup Alpha for after this exercise?"
"Sounds good, and we'll even be able to try out technique number twenty three."
"Can't wait."
As the rest of the class had looked on Katsuki had calmed down over the course of the conversation and now looked more anticipatory than mad.
Break
The girls of Class 1-A were walking back towards their classroom after the battle trial when they heard Izuku's voice from around the corner "Minoru come over here, I found a window into the girl's locker room."
The girls heard the perverted grape respond "Oh my Izuku, that's amazing. I knew there had to be at least one kindred spirit in the class."
"N-no way Deku isn't like that, I know him."
"Well guess ya didn't know him as well as you thought." said a girl with black hair in a pixie cut.
As the girls rounded the corner in order to give the two boys a piece of their mind they were just in time to see a most glorious sight.
Katsuki had punted Minoru towards Izuku who was ready with a baseball bat made of water from his quirk as the two yelled together "Combined Special Move, P.A.L. Death Technique Number Twenty Three: Batter's Up". When Minoru reached Izuku the water bat moved, made contact with Minoru and sent. Him. Flying.
In the next moment two things happened, firstly, Katsuki put a hand over his eye and called the distance while Izuku exclaimed "New high score."
Then, from around the corner the two boys heard a feminine voice call out "That. Was. Amaaazing."
The boys froze when they realized someone had seen them and only moved again when they were almost surrounded. In order to try and save himself Katsuki yelled "SHIT, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE DEKU."
"K-k-kacchan, don't leave me."
Laughing maniacally Katsuki blasted off using his explosions and shot back "Sorry Deku you're on your own."
Izuku who was still quite panicked could do nothing as the girls finished surrounding him and promptly had a meltdown "bcksbyrownfykfbshkdbfjdlebudndhhdld"
As the girls all giggled and hoisted their champion up on high one said something that stopped them all in their tracks "Hey girls, Deku's mine got it."

Gravity Gal: I have a problem, could you lend me your ear?
Small Might: Sure I'm not busy, go ahead.
Gravity Gal: Well the thing is I've had a crush on best friend for a long time now and I didn't realize it, but just recently he saved me and I became aware of my feelings. What should I do?"
Small Might: …
Small Might: Well if I were as confident in my feelings as you were I would probably just tell him. I really don't have much experience with this kind of thing, but I know if it were me I couldn't keep this kind of thing secret or it would just eat me up inside.
Small Might: …
Small Might: Sorry if my advice wasn't very helpful.
Gravity Gal: No no no it's okay it seems like great advice, I'll work on putting it into action.

'Damnit' was the only thing Izuku was thinking as he laid back in his bed after texting his friend Gravity Gal.
'There's someone she likes, of course there is. She's very friendly and apparently I'm the only one who thought of us as best friends.' Of course in Izuku's mind there was no way in the world a girl could possibly be interested in him romantically, he hadn't even talked to a girl in real life for any significant amount of time in years since that week had started.
Also, now the person who he considered his best friend (who he had to admit he had had a crush on for a while now) had someone she was interested in. Yeah, his life was deeeefinitely looking up.
A/N: K so I'm still amazed at the response this is getting its just amazing. First up is a thanks to my betas then to everyone who followed, faved and commented so far. Next I gotta say I'm sorry if it wasn't obvious but if anyone says AFO or OFA they're actually saying the words I'm just lazy so I used a shortcut, sorry I should've specified that earlier. So for this chapter the battle trial was used to showcase the strengths and weakness of Ocular Outburst as opposed to the character development it was the vehicle for in canon. Also yes the P.A.L. killing was based off viridescent (go check it out Ch 39 just dropped). Finally, ya know how I said the izuocha subplot wasn't gonna be that important well, I kinda lied so…sorry but next time the plot'll be driven by some izuocha stuff and we'll see a very horny little girl.
