(So I kinda suck at describing stuff, so for Izuku's costume just imagine it as his costume from the picture I have for this story. It's the same thing just with different coloring that I'll touch upon in this chapter. The costume in question is Captain America's costume from Avengers Age of Ultron [remember when I said to guess the movie a few chapters ago? The correct answer was Age of Ultron])
(The Next Day: UA)
Today began the second day of school for Class 1A, leading many to become excited…until some realized that oh yeah, this was school, which meant actual learning like math and English. While a good number of students were upset by this, ones like Iida and Izuku didn't mind. Iida loved school and Izuku had always done well in classes like these, so they and the others like Momo and Todoroki had no problems.
Of course math and English weren't their only classes. Those were the normal core classes, later on in the day were the courses that would help them become pro heroes. It was the afternoon and 1A were in the classroom, waiting for their instructor and for the Hero Basic Training to begin.
"So who do you think'll be the teacher?" Izuku could hear Kaminari ask Sero. The greenette smiled to himself, because he knew who it was, and he was beyond excited to have a class taught by him!
"I overheard a couple of kids say it was Endeavor of all people. Wouldn't it be sweet if the second ranked pro taught us?!" Sero exclaimed in excitement.
"I can assure you my father is not the one teaching us. And if he was, I'd gladly drop out of UA." Todoroki informed, causing some to chuckle at what they thought was a joke. But Izuku knew better, he could see the hate in Todoroki's eyes at the mention of his father.
'Wonder what that's about.' He thought to himself.
"I AM…HERE!" A voice shouted from the hallway, causing Izuku's eyes to widen in excitement. Even after knowing All Might and training with him all these past 10 months, he still got beyond excited when he was around. "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A HERO!" All Might exclaimed, sliding the door opened and leaning in, his cape blowing in the breeze.
'Wait, how is it moving like that? There's no wind current!'
"Do you need the fan anymore?" He could hear Present Mic question from the hallway. Izuku watched as All Might turned his head and shook, thus causing the wind to stop blowing. Izuku was the only to notice this exchange since everyone else was flipping their shit.
"I can't believe it's really All Might!"
"So he really is a teacher! This year's gonna be awesome!"
"Isn't that his silver age costume?"
"I'm getting goosebumps, it's so retro!" Were some of the comments and questions Izuku heard as All Might strutted in.
"Welcome to the most important class at UA High! Think of it was heroing-101. Here you will learn the basics of being a pro, and what it means to fight in the name of good!"
Izuku was visibly shaking in his seat, excited and beyond ready to get this class started! This was yet another step to becoming the number one ranked hero, and he was going conquer it!
Plus, there was a chance at kicking Kacchan's ass, which was always a plus. Their little competition was now 55/55, with Bakugo quickly catching up with Aizawa's quirk test from yesterday.
"Let's get into it!" All Might exclaimed, striking multiple poses with every word he spoke, before he pulled out what looked like a flashcard. "Todays lesson will pull no punches!" The flashcard merely read 'Battle'.
"Fight training!" Bakugo exclaimed in excitement, and Izuku didn't need to see his face to know his friend has a creepy grin on it.
"But one of the keys to being a hero is…looking good!" He shouted, while pointing to the wall of the classroom. Shelves with suitcases attached to them began to pop out and extend, showing that each case had a number. "These were designed for you based on your quirk registration forms and the requests you sent in before school started!"
The class roared in cries of awe and shock at the statement, and everyone began radiating excitement at seeing their costumes in physical form, not just on paper or in memory.
"Grab your case and head towards the locker rooms! Let's get a move-" All Might was cut off at a knock at the door. "Oh, uh, yes?! Please come in!"
"Is Izuku Midoriya in here?" The metallic head of Power Loader popped in and began searching the room for the greenette.
"Ah, yes, yes he is! Do you need him Power Loader?"
"For a few minutes, yeah."
Izuku's head was spinning right now. Had he done something wrong and Power Loader wanted to see him? Had Principal Nezu requested to see him and sent the hero? Kacchan turned around and gave him a questioning look, but Izuku shrugged in response. He could feel other stares coming from the rest of the class as well.
"Grab your case and head along with Power Loader, Young Midoriya! But make sure you head to the locker rooms once you're finished!"
"Yes sir." With a nod, Izuku got up, grabbed his case, and exited the room while following the metallic hero. "Excuse me sir, but am I in trouble?" He asked.
"Relax kid, you're all good. A student I know requested to see you before you started any of your combat training. They're in the Development Studio right now."
Oh, was that all? Ok, he had been worrying over nothing. But this just raised more questions. What student wanted to see him? He hadn't spoken to anyone else other than a few in 1A, and last he checked everyone was in class just now. So who could it be?
"Here we are." Power Loader stated, walking up to gigantic metal doors. "Head on in and see what they want, then get back to class. Got it?"
"Got it." Izuku answered, before watching the metal hero walk away. Staring up at the large doors, he grabbed ahold of the handle before opening it and stepping inside.
He was shocked by the amount of technology and inventions that were scattered around the lab. He walked around, noticing inventions were piled up high on the tables and floor, some were even hanging up from the ceiling. He could see a broken jetpack, a pair of metal boots, a few cracked helmets, and many other decides
"Hi Zuku." A voice said from behind, causing him to freeze. Zuku? No one had ever called him that besides…
He turned around, and his eyes widened at the sight of the beautiful girl with pink hair and yellow eyes. A pair of red goggles sat on top of her head.
"Sume?"
(Training Ground Beta)
"Wonder what's taking Midoriya so long." Kaminari said out loud, noticing it's been a solid eight minutes since Power Loader had pulled him from class. All Might had stated previously that he wouldn't start without Midoriya, so right now he was literally twiddling his thumbs as they waited.
"Nerd probably did some dumb shit and got caught." Bakugo sighed, foot tapping impatiently. He was ready and raring to go!
"Aren't you two friends? Why do you keep referring to him as nerd and whatever? Not very manly if you ask me." Kirishima stated.
"Well it's a good thing I didn't ask you Shitty Hair. 'Sides, it's how I show affection."
"Shitty way of showing affection." Toru whispered to Mina, who giggled in response.
"That's not a very nice thing to call a lady Kacchan." A voice spoke from the darkened hallway that led to the locker rooms. Everyone perked at the voice, while others sighed in happiness. Midoriya was back, which meant they could finally begin the class.
As Izuku started walking down the hall and into the light, his hero costume started being revealed. Mint green combat boots reached up to his calf and ended a few inches below his knees; with the toe cap, vamp, and heel all being black. Forest green pants that traveled up to his waist with knee pads and a utility belt that matched in color. His stomach and sides had rows of different colors and goes as follows from left to right; a row of mint green, followed by a row of white, than mint, then white, mint, white, mint, white, and finally another row of mint. His chest was forest green in coloring and had a white circle in the very middle. A silver object hung around his neck, and it was shaped like a smiling mouth.
His shoulders were forest green, which was followed by a small strip of mint that measured two inches of vertical length, then a strip of white measured in a vertical length of six inches. After that more forest green led down to think black gloves with a mint green underside that reached to his forearm.
What caught some eyes was the piece of metal hanging off of his left arm. It was trapeze in shape, but with a rounded bottom instead of its original. From the outside going in it had a strip of neon green, then a strip of black, followed by another strip of neon green, and finally, the center was pure black.
There were some whistles when he and his costume was revealed, causing him to smile wide and blush pink in embarrassment. He waved to a few classmates as he passed and stood next to Kirishima. He tried not to turn red when he heard Mina whisper to Toru about how nice his butt looked.
"You ever gonna stop playing the knight in shining more?" Bakugo deadpanned.
"Only when you stop being an asshole." Izuku clapped back, before turning to the red head next to him. "You ok? I apologize for his…his-ness."
"Don't apologize for my, my-ness you bastard!"
"You're so manly!" Kirishima exclaimed in awe, eyes sparkling and shining like crazy. Izuku's eyes widened at that, and his blush darkened.
"W-What?"
"Yeah! Standing up for someone when they're getting bullied is like, one of the manliest things you can do!" She was smiling how, showing off her pointed teeth.
"I wasn't bullying you Shitty Hair! It's how I show affection!" Bakugo screamed, sparks flying from his palms. "And stop feeding his ego!"
"The only thing I'm feeding is his confidence! He's like, my knight in green armor or something!"
'I'd rather be your horse so you can- STOOOOOP!'
"Welcome back Young Midoriya!" All Might exclaimed, happy to have his successor and student back so they could start todays lesson. "And might I say you're looking quite sharp! But what is that piece of metal on your arm?"
"Oh! It's a gift from a friend of mine and Kacchans!" He informed, before the metal glowed green. With a snap it extended and rounded, becoming a circular shield. "Look! Our friend made it to where it can extend and become a full-blown shield when I use my magnet quirk! And if I use it again-" The shield glowed green, and it snapped back to its original rounded trapeze shape. "-it goes back to normal!"
"Friend? What friend Deku? The only person I can think about is…" The blond trailed off, his eyes widening in surprise. "No way!"
"Yes way! She's back Kacchan! Sume's back!" Izuku was grinning at this point, body shaking with excitement and happiness. The students stared at the two in confusion. Who was Sume?
"Where the fuck is she?! I'm gonna yell at her for not calling us at all these last few years!"
"Now, now Young Bakugo, you can go on your little friend hunt after class. We still have todays lesson to do!" All Might informed, stopping the blond before he could run off. He didn't have much time in this form, so he wanted to get this class over and done with. "Now that Young Midoriya is here, it's time for combat training!"
"Sir! This is the fake city from our entrance exam: does that mean we'll be conducting urban battles again?" A robot looking guy to Izuku's right asked with his hand raised.
'That must be Iida. He looks so cool!' With a smile Izuku's eyes began to wander around, looking at everyone else's costume. 'Wow, they all look great. Some more than others…' His thoughts trailed off as he got a good look at Uraraka, the red haired girl, the pink girl, the girl with green hair, and the girl with the ponytail. His cheeks started turning pink, which didn't go unnoticed by Mina as she stared at him from the corner of her eye.
'Aww, he's checking me out! Maybe I'll give him a better look later on.'
"Not quite! I'm gonna move you two steps ahead!" All Might answered. "Most of the villain fights you see on the news take place outside. However! Statistically speaking, the run-ins with the more-dastardly evildoers take place in-doors! Think about; backroom deals, home invasions, secret underground lairs. Truly intelligent villains stay hidden in the shadows. For this training exercise, you'll be split into teams of good guys and bad guys, and fight two on two indoor battles!"
What followed after that was a flurry of questions regarding the training exercise. Was this too advanced? How badly could they hurt the other team? How were the teams going to be created? Was All Might going to decide who would win? These were just a small taste of questions asked, and Izuku tried not to grin at the slowly irritated look All Might was getting from getting cut off.
"Listen up! The situation is this-" All Might stated while opening up a piece of paper.
'A script?!' Izuku thought in shock.
"-The villains have hidden a nuclear missile somewhere in their hideout. The heroes must try to foil their plans. In order to do this, the good guys must either catch the evildoers or recover the missile. Likewise, the bad guy can win if they protect their payload or capture the heroes. Time is limited, so we'll choose teams by drawing lots!"
"Isn't there a better way?" Iida questioned, surprised by All Might's choice. Couldn't the teams be made based on how compatible two quirks were? That seemed like the more logical approach.
"Think about it, pros often have to team up with other pros who are on the scene. You can't just wait for a pro you know or work well with to show up when dealing with something like a hostage situation or an attack." Izuku explained.
Ah…that made sense.
"I see, life is a series of random events! Excuse my rudeness!" He apologized while bowing.
"No sweat! It's time to draw!"
There were 10 team in total, with each team receiving a letter to easily identify them. Izuku was surprised when his name was the first to be called, and his surprise only grew when it was Uraraka who was called after him. The two grinned at each other and high fived, happy to have someone they knew as their teammate. They were known as Team A. The other teams are as followed"
B were Todoroki and Shoji.
C were Yaoyorozu and Mineta.
D were Bakugo and Iida (Izuku tried not to laugh at the look of despair on his friend's face).
E were Aoyama and Ashido
F were Sato and Koda
G were Kaminari and Jiro
H were Tokoyami and Asui
I were Ojiro and Hagakure
And finally, J were Kirishima and Sero
After the team were created, All Might brought out two more boxes, one was white and the other was black. The black box had the word 'Villain' on it, while white had the word 'Hero'. He stuck his hands inside and began moving them around.
"I declare that the first teams to fight will be…these guys!" He exclaimed, pulling out a ball with the letter D on it from the villain box, and a ball with the letter A on it from the hero box.
Izuku's, Uraraka's, and Iida's eyes widened at that, while Bakugo merely grinned. The three were shocked that they had to fight each so early and so soon, they had just became friends yesterday! And now they had to fight?!
Bakugo was grinning ear to ear at the news. Not only was he fighting first, he was able to fight Deku of all people! Not only did this mean he was in for a good fight, it also meant he could finally come out on top in their little competition.
"Team A will be the heroes, and team D will be the villains. Everyone else can head to the monitoring room to watch." He informed the class.
"Yes sir." Was the response from the 16 who weren't fighting. They began to move while the final four stayed with All Might.
"Bad guys, go in and start setting up. You'll have five minutes before the good guys will be released and the battle begins. Bad guys, the key to being successful for this challenge is to embody villainy. Think from the perspective of an evildoer."
"Yes sir." The four nodded, before Bakugo and Iida entered their building, leaving Izuku and Uraraka outside. Izuku watched Bakugo's body, and could see his friend was literally vibrating with excitement was he walked through the door and into the building.
"You think they expect to memorize this buildings whole floor plan? It's so big!" Uraraka exclaimed surprised. "You know, All Might's just as cool in person as he is on television! I'm glad he's not threatening us with some kind of punishment like Mr. Aizawa. We can relax!" She grinned at her teammate, whose cheeks turned pink when he saw her smile
"Love the enthusiasm, but sadly I think relaxing is the last thing we should be doing." He replied solemnly.
"Oh? Why's that?"
"You don't know Kacchan like I do. He's loves to fight and takes things like this seriously. He'll be coming at us with everything he's got, and will more than likely target me." Izuku informed. "Plus there's Iida. Depending on how heavy this fake missile is, he could easily just carry it and run around until time runs out."
"Oh, you're right! Man this is gonna be tough!" She sighed. "Do you think we can win this?"
"It won't be easy, but I think we can. You see when Kacchan sets his mind to something, he'll focus on that one thing, and beating me will be that one thing. I'll distract him while you find the missile, and if I'm able to beat him I'll come help you. Unless of course you think you'll be able to make it to the bomb by yourself."
"Sounds like a plan! But what happens if Bakugo catches on and comes after me?" She asked. Izuku turned to her, holding up his right arm where his shield was in its original state. He gave a wide and kind smile.
"I'll protect you of course!" He answered, his smile causing her cheeks to turn pink.
'He's cute when he smiles…wait what?!'
"Alright, let's begin the indoor combat training!" All Mights voice screeched from the speakers surrounding them, bringing Uraraka from her thoughts. "Team A and Team D, your time starts now!"
