I loved the response that I got from the last chapter, even if most of you didn't write reviews or chose to write short ones, the fact that 221 people have favorite this and another 263 are following my story means that I must be doing something write. Writing in everyone's different personalities was hard but worth it, some didn't shine since it wasn't the right time for them to do so, case in point-Mineta didn't openly prev on the girls, the reason being that he knows that it wasn't the right time to do so, especially with the confirmed strict teacher watching them like a hawk with a hangover (Aizawa needs a vacation).

Omega Armadillo 3000 – Thanks for the comment, I just thought by actually showing the different tests and highlighting who did best and worse for each one was make more sense in the end because you as the reader can see where I was coming from with the ranking. When I made the lists up, Mineta highest score was 13th place in the distance run but Izuku already noted that everyone in the class was at least in shape while others like Bakugo are in crazy shape so though he may be a giant pervert, little Mineta is pretty healthy compared to the average teenager. That goes double for Ojiro and Izuku.

tacktician – Thought Izuku may ask Aizawa for help in his training and advice from him, I can't see him wanting to use the same capture weapon, one since it gonna become Shinso thing later down the line and two, because he isn't that into having wraps around him. Remember, he will be either hovering or flying fast in combat or other hero related work, there would be no way for him to through such a weapon faster than his movement speed, it would just lag unless he built some sort of launcher for them which again, takes up space and energy better used elsewhere.

Anyway, this chapter will cover either most of the combat training or all of it, depending on how much I can fit into this in 7-8k words or less.

Chapter 7: Challenges from unexpected sources.

After the whole quirk test Aizawa-sensei put us through, we left or the showers were like the men we are, we didn't speak to each other, make eye contact, dare look below the belt which was quite hard for someone like Mineta nor waste time, it took us about ten minutes for everyone to finish and leave, the girls took longer but they could hear them discussing the test through the wall so they were excused-(BYW, they thought that Kota was the most adorable of the boys and Bakugo the most dangerous looking. Like with everyone else, they all think I'm plain looking, maybe I should ask Yu-chan about it later). The rest of the day passed by without any incident other than the usual high school stuff. Still, by the time the final bell rang, I was tired-not physically but emotionally.

It had somehow leaked to the rest of the school that I was quirkless and in the hero course which predictable, got on some assholes' nerves. I spent the rest of the day listening to the snide remarks and crude jokes passed around the halls and cafeteria. I swear, if it wasn't for Tokoyami sticking close to me for all of that, I would have tased someone. Their words didn't hurt me so much as they did frustrate me, like a lot.

"Aizawa-sensei was pulling us along with that expulsion threat. Though I would have much preferred a more honest approach to things." Tokoyami stated as the two boys walked off campus, heading home.

"I don't think he was lying." Izuku replied as he pulled out his board and checked the wheels and such to make sure he won't faceplant when he tries to use it.

"What do you mean?" Tokoyami asked him, he didn't notice any faults or ticks from the man that would hint that but before he could get an answer, another person made their presence known.

"Midoriya-kun!" Iida called out as he marched on over to them in his robotic fashion.

"Hmm, Iida?" Izuku asked him once he caught up with them.

"I was meaning to ask a question if you don't mind!" Iida requested of him, though Midoriya could guess what he was going to ask, he could see it in just about everyone's eyes in class.

"Go ahead." Izuku gave his permission.

"Is it true that you are quirkless?" Iida asked him as quietly as he could tell this was a touchy subject and had heard some of the snide remarks their schoolmates had said about him, it was a disgrace to such a school to have people like that!

"Yes it is, didn't you notice that from my performance?" Izuku replied with a straight face as he started walking again, leaving the other two to follow in his footsteps.

"Forgive me! But it wasn't obvious as your quirk may have been an emitter or mutation type that doesn't show, I had thought it was an intelligence booster at first." Iida told him and he wasn't wrong, many types of quirks wouldn't have been useful in the quirk test Aizawa made them do.

"He is not wrong Midoriya, appearances can be quite deceiving about one's quirk." Tokoyami stated, agreeing with the speed-based teen.

'He would know that since even I thought his bird head had something to do with his quirk.' Izuku thought to himself as he looked over at Tokoyami.

"I wanted to say that you truly are the better man! Not only are you in the hero course of your merit but your quirkless status has not hindered you from performing better than I! I shall follow your example to better myself and become a better hero!" Iida continued as he gave the boy a bow with some energy behind it. His apparent compliment was a surprise to the two boys as they didn't think Izuku would get some so soon.

'He is passionate about this.' Midoriya thought to himself with a sweatdrop.

'He must have more energy than he knows what to do with is he insists on those robotic hand movements.' Tokoyami thought to himself with a sweat drop as well.

"Thanks…I guess." Midoriya replied after taking a second to process that before they continued to walk off-campus. "Anyway back to what I was saying, I heard some 2nd years talking about Aizawa and found out we must be lucky or we all impressed him." Izuku continued what he was telling Tokoyami.

"Why's that?" Tokoyami asked him.

"The guy expelled his entire class last year for the same reasons he threatens us for, he judged them to not have hero potential." Midoriya told them both, scaring the two of them as they didn't think the school would let someone expel an entire class on the first day! Hell, it was pushing it to expel just one!

"That is rather unfortunate for our would-be upperclassmen, then that means he wasn't lying about the threat." Tokoyami said as both he and Iida came to the same conclusion Midoriya already did and felt the shiver go down their spines, they lucked out.

"He just lied about lying since we all met his expectations." Midoriya finished the collective thought as they walked in silence for a bit to think about that.

"It is rather unsightly for our teacher to use such underhanded tactics but the results obtained don't lie. I should have expected such from an institution like U.A. to use such unconventional methods." Iida said with some hand chops which were starting to look pretty funny.

"Hey! You three!" They heard someone call out to them from behind as they all turned to face it. "Going to the station? Wait for me!" The girl calling out to them yelled with a smile as she raced to catch up.

"Uraraka?" Midoriya asked as he recognized her from the class register and matched the name to the face.

"You're the infinity girl, correct?" Iida asked as she came up to them. She nodded her head with a smile as she faced them.

"I'm Ochaco Uraraka." She introduced herself as she looked at Iida. "Um, you're Tenya Iida," She then turned to Tokoyami. "Fumikage Tokoyami and…" she stated, both times the boys nodded their heads at her to show they got their names right. "Deku Midoriya, right?" She finished with a smile, think she got all three right.

"Deku!?" Midoriya asked her, appalled she would insult in the first damn day, and with such an innocent smile!

"Huh? But that is what the boy-Bakugo called you during the fitness test." Uraraka said as they all recalled what Bakugo said when it was made clear Midoriya was pushing it with the push-ups.

"Deku, you Bastard stop scoring so damn high!"

"Izuku is my name, Deku is just something that explosive ass likes to call me to make fun of me. I stopped caring about years ago." Midoriya told her with a frown as he recalled how many hundreds of times he had heard it by now, not all from Bakugo but those around them that were jealous he was the smartest kid in school.

"An Insult? Iida asked as he cupped his chin.

"And you haven't tried to stop this, why?" Tokoyami asked as this was the first time he was hearing of this.

"I did but he's as stubborn as a mule mixed with an old dog. Once he starts something, it's almost impossible to make him stop." Midoriya replied with a huff as he now felt slightly depressed.

"Oh sorry about that, I didn't know!" Uraraka apologized as she saw her error and tried to make up for it. "But Deku sounds a lot like Dekiru which means 'You can do it'!" She finished with a fist pump.

"Huh?" Midoriya uttered, he had never thought about it like that in all the years he has heard it. "I never thought about it like that, thank you Uraraka." He replied with a smile as he continued walking, now feeling…lighter?

"It is indeed rare to find an individual that can turn such a cruel insult into a positive nickname." Tokoyami stated as they all continued down the road towards the terminal.

'There are indeed things that I will never be able to do but…I've accepted that and chosen to focus on the things that I can do. I'll work hard to achieve them and become the hero I always wanted to become and with all the support in my life, I know that I will do so.' Midoriya thought to himself as he waved goodbye to the three who stepped into the terminal as he placed his board down and skated home.

(With All Might)

Later that night, Yagi was in his apartment, looking down at his hero costume as he thought about what was to come. 'You don't have the time to relax, young man. The real test starts tomorrow.'

(The next day)

'The U.A curriculum for its hero course wasn't all that different from most high schools as they were still required to take regular classes such as English in the morning.'

"Which of these four English sentences is wrong?" Present Mic asked the class in a quiet and rather mature manner, behind him on the board were four separate English sentences he had written down earlier.

'So normal.' Mina, Jiro, and Kaminari thought to themselves as they faced forward.

'This is so damn boring.' Bakugo dismissed as h looked out the window.

"Everybody, head up! Let's get this party started!" And just like that, the man reverted to his usual loud and random self. After his little burst of energy, one of the girls rose their hands.

"Yaoyorozu!" Present Mic called out as he pointed at her for her to stand and answer to which she did so.

"The relative pronoun is in the wrong place in sentence number 4." She stated as she pointed to the sentence in question.

"Correct! Someone get the young listener a cookie!" Present Mic confirmed for her as she sat down, wondering why someone would just hand her food. Was it a U.A. thing?

'After that, we had Mathematics with Ectoplasm.'

"Now, can anyone solve the following Trigonometric equation?" The coat wearing pro-hero asked the class as he pointed to the pretty hard-looking equation on the board. "Come on this was something you all should have done in middle school. You're going to get much harder ones from here on out so I hope you're preferred to study." He told them as even pros still needed a high school diploma at the very least, hell some go on to study something in college such as Recovery Girl picking up her Doctorate in Medicine to even practice her craft.

'Great, more math.' The whole class bar a few thought to themselves. Midoriya was one of those who didn't share the collective opinion and rose his hand.

"Midoriya, would you like to try and solve it?" Ectoplasm asked to make sure the boy knew what he was doing.

"Yes sir." Midoriya confirmed as he stood up and walked over to the board. After about a minute he put the chalk back down after finishing putting down his calculations and final answer.

"Correct, you can take your seat Midoriya." Ectoplasm said as he instructed the boy to sit down.

"Yes sir." Midoriya replied as he went back to take his seat, not noticing Ashido and Kaminari looking at him like he just found the Atlantis.

'Lunch was held in the main cafeteria, where we could buy gourmet food for reasonable prices.'

"White rice is great comfort food, isn't it?" The Pro hero, Lunch Rush asked Midoriya's table which had himself, Tokoyami, Iida, and Uraraka.

"It sure is, and is very cheap." Uraraka replied with her mouth full, leaving Midoriya to wonder why she brought up the pricing.

'And then, in the afternoon, we had the class that we had all been waiting for.' Izuku thought to himself as he entered their homeroom class and took his seat. 'Hero Basic Training.' He finished as the last person took their seat as they waited for their teacher to arrive.

"I am…!" A voice called from behind the classroom door.

'Wait a minute, isn't that?' Midoriya thought to himself as he could recognize that voice anywhere.

"Coming through the door like a normal person!" All Might announced as he didn't come through the door like a sane person world but with his usual flair

"It's All Might!" Kaminari said in joy at seeing the number one hero.

"Wow, I can't believe that he's a teacher!" Kirishima told Tsuyu who sat near him.

"That's the costume from his Silver age, isn't it?" Tsuyu stated with some noticeable awe in her voice as All Might marched over the teacher's desk.

"Its style is so different, it's giving me goosebumps." Ojiro said as he took in the older but great-looking costume.

"I teach Hero Basic Training. It's the subject where you train in different ways to learn the basics of being a hero. You'll take the most units of this subject so be prepared for that!" All Might announced to the class.

"Let's get right to it. This is what you will do today," All Might started as he pulled out a card for all of them to see. "Battle Training!"

"Battle Training." Midoriya and Bakugo said at the same time with different thoughts on the subject.

"And to go with that are these!" All Might continued as he pointed to the wall with a remote which he pressed the button one, revealing selves with briefcases with different numbers on them. "Costumes made based on your quirk registrations and request you all sent in before school started." He explained to them as the class got up to fetch their costumes, luckily they started enough to know that your seat number marked which was which.

"I finally get to test the full thing out." Midoriya uttered to himself with a smile as he held onto his case which was a bit bigger than everyone else's.

"After you change, gather at ground beta!" All Might informed them as he made his way to the door.

"Yes sir!" And with that, the pro hero left the room as the class made their way to the changing rooms to get dressed.

(Later at Ground Beta)

'I wonder what young Midoriya will have, the last suit I saw him test was the one from the beach but he needed a whole set-up plus assistance to remove the thing, his case didn't look that much bigger than everyone's else so maybe something small and light?' All Might thought to himself as he waited for not only 1-A but 1-B as well. The two homeroom teachers thought it best to have them complete this kind of class together to see how they work together. Vlad noticed that some of his class looked angry that 1-A did a quirk apprehension test on the first day and took it as an insult to them so he suggested this to help smooth things over. As All Might pondered this, he heard the students walking out of the tunnel towards him, he could already make out some of their costumes and he was impressed with what he saw.

"They say the clothes make the man, young ladies, and gentlemen. So be very aware from this point onwards, you are heroes in training!" All Might told them all as both classes made their way into the sunlight.

"That's great, everyone. You all look very cool!" He complimented as he looked over every one of them.

"Now shall we begin, you bunch of newbies?" The top hero challenged as his eyes landed on Izuku and were quite shocked with what he saw.

(Flashback to three weeks ago)

'Normally Hero schools take in design applications from students and work with their quirk registries to make suitable costumes for heroes in training. You simply send in your physical measurements and desired designs so support companies under exclusive contract to that hero school can produce the state-of-the-art costumes.' Izuku thought to himself as he looked over his forms and designs.

"The only problem is that I already built my gear and suit so can the school accept that or do I need to rely on some person I don't even know, no way I'm giving up my hard-worked and tested designs." Izuku muttered as he had no interest in sharing his designs as they could be stolen and made by some else if he wasn't careful.

"I'm home!" His mom announced as she opened the front door and walked in but not before locking the door behind her.

"Welcome back! How was the store?" Izuku asked his mom as she carried the shopping to the kitchen to put it away.

"It was good, I got some good deals on some plums and carrots." She replied as she put away the before-mentioned produce. "What are you working on?" She asked him.

"I trying to see if U.A. accepts students bringing their costumes." Izuku replied as she put down the forms.

"I think they do, the neighbor's son did the same when he went through hero school a couple of years back. It saves them work so I don't see why U.A. would be any different." Inko told him as she recalled have a talk about this with the neighbors some years back.

"That's a relief, so I can just ship the Mk VIII." Izuku stated, pleased that his work would be accepted.

"Speaking of which," Inko started as she went back into the kitchen to keep putting cans and bottles away. "Have you had time to paint it yet or is it still that dull grey and white?" She asked him. She was met with a silence which made her think he had left for his lab without her noticing.

.

.

.

.

.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT, I GOTTA GET THAT DONE TODAY AND SEND IT OVER!" Izuku panicked as she heard him race down the hall for the elevator to his lab, no doubt he was going to start painting the thing right now.

"For a smart boy, he has his father's forgetfulness at the worst of times." Inko muttered with a fond smile as she went back to what she was doing.

(Flashback end)

"Is that a suit of armor?" Uraraka asked Midoriya as he stepped out wearing his hero costume which in his opinion was more of a suit. It consisted of a full black body glove worn under some protective padding which was for his knees, thighs, elbows, shoulders, and chest. He was wearing the same red boots he wore the previous day as well as clawed gauntlets. The fast and most prized piece of equipment he had was his green and white-winged backpack, the wings themselves may have been closed but they were so big that they still stuck out much like Hawks. The wings themselves were red and green. He held the knight/fighter pilot-inspired helmet in one hand.

"Is it like Iida's, Midoriya?" Tokoyami asked him as he inspected the saw how most of it looked mechanical, in his opinion-he gave the boy a rather steampunk appearance.

"No, this is something much more than that, I assure you." Midoriya answered with pride in his voice as he caught Bakugo watching him in the corner of his eye.

"Oh my God, are those wings?!" Uraraka asked as she pointed to the very large wings attached to his backpack. They were nearly as tall as he was.

"Yes, they are." Midoriya replied to which she reached out and touched one of them. "Why are you touching them?" He asked her after she didn't stop touching them after a couple of seconds.

"They're just like a bird's…but made of metal." She uttered as she felt how each individual 'feather' moved independently but somehow still looked capable. It kinda reminded her of Aizawa-sensei's wraps but stiffer.

"A special metallic-carbon alloy." The boy corrected.

"It's great, I should have written what I wanted though. Mine ended up being a skin-tight suit. It's kind of embarrassing." Uraraka replied as she sheepishly rubbed the back of her head, leaving Tokoyami and Midoriya to wisely not comment that they didn't mind the costume.

"Then could you not merely send in a form to have your costume size redone?" The bird-headed boy asked her.

"I could but that takes some time so I'll be stuck with this for a while." Uraraka told them as it would take them up to two weeks to make another one if she asked.

"Still, I did not see us doing a joint exercise with 1-B." Midoriya said as he and the rest of them noticed how both classes largely kept to themselves and didn't mingle.

"Well, Kan-sensei wanted us to work together on this to build interclass relations." A voice said from behind them. They turned to see a boy taller than all of them wearing light-colored knee-high boots, a dark vest with white clouds across it, and a collar that covers his chin. He had a belt tied around his waist with pouches on the side and he also wore large gloves and a visor on his head. His outfit appears similar to a Jiangshi-(From what Izuku remembered from reading about Chinese mythology and folklore)-his visor appears similar to the talismans commonly seen pasted on their forehead.

"Is that right, oh where are our manners? I'm Izuku Midoriya, that is Fumikage Tokoyami and this is Ochaco Uraraka, you are?" Midoriya introduced each of them before asking the newcomer's name.

"Hiryuu Rin, a pleasure." The now named Rin started with a handshake, he seemed friendly enough. While they talked for a bit, Izuku couldn't help but look over to Uraraka when she wasn't looking.

'Damn, she got some curves on her…wait,' Izuku thought to himself as he looked her over but then he noticed that Bakugo was still looking at their group, at first he thought he was sizing them up but his gaze was locked only for Uraraka. 'Is Katsuki 'Explosive Tsundere' Bakugo checking her out? Now I've seen everything.' Midoriya thought to himself with a silent chuckle as he wasn't sure there was a sex drive in that boy.

"The hero course is the best." Mineta came to the same conclusion about the poor girl's costume.

"The fuck you say, grape stain?!" And apparently, the resident explosive tempered make didn't appreciate the comment.

'Okay, he was checking her out and doesn't like when other guys do the same.' Izuku thought to himself as he was the only one who heard the short boy's comment since Uraraka looked confused as to why Bakugo looked like he was going to murder the prev.

"Such a vulgar brute." One of the girls from 1-B commented, she wore a toga-like costume and had green vines for her.

"I'll avoid him for a while, see if he chills out." The tall brown-furred teen standing next to her stated.

"The Hell you say?!" Bakugo called out, seemingly angrier than usual for some reason.

"Or maybe not." The furry giant replied as he took a step back in slight fear.

"Now it's time for combat training!" Lucky for them, before a fight could break out, All Might called the class to order.

"Sensei?" Iida asked with a hand raised. Once All Might gave him the go-ahead, he went on with his question. "This is the battle center used in the entrance exam, so will we be conducting urban battles again?" The tall glasses-wearing boy asked.

"No, we are going to move three steps ahead. Most of the time, fighting villains take place outside but statistically speaking, more villains are found indoors more often than not, and it is the most heinous and crafty of the criminal underworld who stay away from the light of day, so to speak. Think about it, imprisonment, house arrests, backroom deals, home invasion, or even the standard hostage situation." All might explained to them with three fingers raised in the beginning before he started listing all the situations where villains and other criminals would be indoors.

"For that reason, we will be doing something different today. The two classes will be split into groups of five where two will act as the hero team while the other three will act as the villains. They will then fight it out in a 3-2 match in our indoor battle simulation for today." All Might explained.

"Without basic training?" Tsuyu asked.

"That seems kinda strange." The armor-wearing student of 1-B, Honenuki added.

"This is a battle to understand those basics, besides leaning in this manner tends to stick better than being told the same thing in some stuffy classroom." The number one hero answered with a chuckle.

"But doesn't a three-on-two fight seem unfair for the heroes?" Ashido asked.

"As I'm sure Aizawa-san already told you, the life of a pro is always unfair and as you might have seen on the news or in the streets, heroes more often than not, have to fight and arrest multiple opponents rather a fair one on one. The official statistics show that heroes are more likely to face three weak villains than one average villain." All Might replied to her question with the same hard truths Aizawa had told 1-A the previous day. "The fact is the matter is that the criminals outnumber us 13 to 1, the only reason that we can match them and drive them into the shadows is the ease of movement and proper training, things they lack." "This is why hero schools have such high standards and such higher demands for their students, to produce the best pros they can to meet this threat." He finished, giving a reason as to why hero schools have such high standards, they were counteracting quantity with quality.

"That is true, almost every fight I've seen as more than one villain and maybe two pros." Midoriya added as he had seen hundreds of them on the internet, news, or in the streets.

"So the students picked to be pros are to fight with a handicap, how unfortunate." The black-skinned student of 1-B stated, sounding…excited by the prospect.

"Yes but remember, you will be fighting actual people this time, not robots which means you must hold back and not inflict any long-lasting wounds or unnecessary damage. If you do so, your team will be automatically disqualified." All Might warned them ahead of time so they would have no excuse later on.

"How will wins and losses be determined?" A light-haired redhead from 1-B asked.

"Are we still allowed to beat the crap outta them?" Bakugo asked, just wanting to skip to the part where he could blast something

"Will the punishment still be expulsion like Aizawa-sensei said yesterday?" Uraraka asked, surprising those not from 1-A that had no idea that their sister class went through that.

"How shall we be split up?" A boy with a bandana asked.

"Is that cape crazy or what?" Aoyama asked the most useless question of them all.

"I'll answer all your questions!" All Might shot out with nervous sweat. He coughed into his hand and answered the first question from the girl he called Kendo. "The situation is that the villain team has hidden a nuclear weapon somewhere in their hideout. The heroes are trying to neutralize that threat. The heroes need to capture all three villains or one of them needs to touch said device while the villains must either last till the end of the exercise or defeat both heroes." He then further explained the grading. "Now the heroes and villains are graded on their technique, communication skills, teamwork, adaptability, power and control/restraint, observation, how well they work under pressure and tactical-(problem-solving)-skills so you don't necessarily need to do any of these things to pass or fail, the heroes can get someone to touch the bomb but if they act alone you can potentially fail. Same for the villains as if you beat the heroes but fail to properly plan out things and just rely on brute force, you can fail as well." He finished as he answered the question and gave the details of the exam, making it obvious that you could fail and cost your whole group if you're a loose cannon.

"Yes, you can let loose on your foes but remember to hold back, we don't need Recovery Girl to make rounds for every group, we're not training villains here." All Might answered Bakugo's question with the same warning to hold back but otherwise go nuts. "You will be split up randomly by drawing lots so you can't choose partners now." All Might answered the boy he called by the name of Awase before he turned his attention to Aoyama. "For that last one, I don't know, ask someone like Midnight."

"This feels very American." Midoriya stated as this sounded like a standard action movie.

"I like it! Nice and simply like." A short girl from 1-B replied in somewhat imperfect Japanese, which combines with her facial features made it clear she was a foreigner.

"You same kind of optimist?" Sero asked her.

"So haphazardly?" Iida asked.

"Pros more often than not have to work with other heroes from different agencies in emergencies so this is rather realistic." Momo told him as it made perfect sense.

"I see. The discernment to look ahead, forgive my interruption!" Iida bowed his head in apology.

"It's fine. Let's do this quickly!" All Might announced as the groups were randomly chosen and shown to the class by a smartphone app.

Group A: Midoriya Izuku; Awase Yosetsu; Bakugo Katsuki; Kodai Yui; Jiro Kyoka

Group B: Kendo Itsuka; Ashido Mina; Tsunotori Pony; Hagakure Toru; Shishida Jurota

Group C: Kirishima Eijiro; Rin Hiryu; Sero Hanta; Shoda Nirengeki; Aoyama Yuga

Group D: Kuroiro Shihai; Shoji Mezo; Bondo Kojiro; Ojiro Mashirao; Kaibara Sen

Group E: Iida Tenya; Komori Kinoko; Koda Koji; Tsuburaba Kosei; Mineta Minoru

Group F: Honenuki Juzo; Uraraka Ochaco; Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu; Tokoyami Fumikage; Shiozaki Ibara

Group G: Asui Tsuyu; Yanagi Reiko; Sato Rikido; Fukidashi Manga; Yaoyorozu Momo

Group H: Monoma Neito; Kaminari Denki; Kamakiri Togaru; Todoroki Shoto; Tokage Setsuna

"Now the first group will be split like this!" All Might announced once more before he presented the results.

Heroes: Midoriya Izuku and Kodai Yui.

Villains: Awase Yosetsu, Bakugo Katsuki, and Jiro Kyoka.

At this announcement, both Midoriya and Bakugo locked eyes. They didn't think it would come this soon but a fight between them was bound to happen sooner or later anyway. The groups stayed behind as the rest of the classes followed All Might to the monitor room but before he left, All Might informed them that the villain team gets to enter the building and set up with a 5-minute time limit to do so before the hero team could enter.

(Later-with the Villain team)

"Man, it sucks that we have to the villains." Jiro complained as she looked for suitable spots to plug into the wall to listen to the vibrations of their targets.

"Can't be helped, all we can do is our best to keep this thing safe, kinda clique looking for a nuclear bomb though." Awase replied as he walked over to the bomb that they were supposed to protect. His hero costume consisted of a baggy, full-body suit with its collar passing his chin. He wore shoulder pads, and he had a bag on his belt in which he keeps various items, including metal and blocks of wood to aid with the use of his Quirk. He also switched out his usual zig-zagged headband for a striped one.

"It's paper mache, I already checked." Jiro told him before he could touch the thing for himself.

"So we can at least move it around easy, that's good." Awase said as he could imagine that it was light.

"Hey!" They both turned to the third person present. "Watch out for that little nerd, he's smarter than he looks and I'm not failing just cause of you two extras." Bakugo both warned and insulted them as he glared at the door, waiting for the trial to begin.

"Charming personality on that one." Jiro joked about him, getting a rise out of him in a form of glare which she shook off.

"What's his quirk anyway? Yui's is that she can change the size of just about anything so long as she makes contract." Awase asked while giving them what he knew about the Kodai as he heard the girls talking about their quirks the previous day when he passed by their table at lunch.

"That sounds dangerous." Jiro commented as she finally found a good spot to set up.

"Deku is quirkless." Bakugo informed them, totally not caring for the shocked looks they both had.

"What!"

"The damn nerd thinks he can take me on without a quirk." Bakugo went one, looking like an enraged bull at the thought of Midoriya of all people beating him, he wasn't going to let that happen.

Not if he had a say about it.

(With the hero team)

"So how do you propose we go about this?" Midoriya asked his team-mate as he looked over the floor plan and saw that there were many places they could store a 'nuclear bomb', even if none of them were built for such.

"I can't say, the villain team is made up of mostly your classmates, as a result, I cannot come up with a good strategy." Yui monotony told him. He looked her over as she spoke to get a better read on her.

Her hero costume consisted of a simple red bodysuit with a white-collar trim, a matching "V" pattern running over her chest and around her upper arms, which also included a short white skirt with a red design at the front, dipping so it follows the one in her chest. She wore plain vambraces, as well as a hat that resembles the front of a baseball cap, colored red with white U-shaped lines around the sides, with a metal piece resembling a fin attached at the back of the strap around her head. She had a belt at her waist and straps around her shoulders, what appears to be an oval-shaped gemstone set between them on her chest, each adorned with a small pouch

"Well I know that Bakugo can create explosions with his sweat so watch out for him, he's a beast in close quarters. Jiro on the other hand, I don't know much about her quirk." Midoriya stated as he recalled what he saw during the previous day's tests, Jiro didn't use her quirk….at all from what he could see. Must have been unsuited for all of them which means he knew he didn't help her in the traditional physical sense but not much else, maybe it was a mind booster.

"Then is aren't sure about the abilities of our opponents, it will be best to know our own. My quirk is called 'Size', as the name implies, I can alter the size of objects that she comes into contact with, however, I can only activate it by pressing five of her fingertips together. It also does not affect living things." Yui told before gesturing to him to say something as well.

"I'm quirkless so I use this armor I designed to supplement that area. It grants me increased strength, speed, durability, and flight. I also have built-in scanners and other weapons." Midoriya replied as he gestured to his suit. He waited for her response about him being quirkless or even have a power armor of sorts.

"Okay."

"Wait, what?" Midoriya asked, thinking he heard wrong, no way her answer was so bland.

"Yes?" Yui asked him, turning her attention back to him.

"You're not going to say anything about the quirkless part?" Midoriya asked, he was so used to it that he was expectant of it these days but this….was something new.

"Why would I? The fact that you are in U.A. taking the hero course shows at least have potential. I shall hold any further judgment of my own till the end of the exercise." Yui told him like he was nothing and turned her attention back to the pouch she was meddling with earlier.

"…Okay then, so what about Awase, what can he do?" Midoriya asked her, changing the subject to get rid of this awkward air around them.

"He can fuse two things so long as he's touching both. So he will most likely seal most of the windows and doors shut to either keep us out or force us to take routes of their choosing." Yui told him as she already had thought about it and came to that conclusion.

"So we have an unknown, a guy will bar some paths and will most likely try and lead us to Bakugo," Midoriya thought aloud as he cupped his chin-(he's wearing his helmet by the way)-"You wouldn't happen to have some experience on self-defense, would you?" he asked her, it was always beneficial to know such things.

"Mostly Judo my parents signed me up for in middle school. You?" Yui asked him, her folks had told her such was required if she wanted to defend herself and she knew she was somewhat…desired. The point was that she wanted to be able to fight off boys who didn't take no for an answer.

"Crane Style Kung Fu, Aikido, Judo, Taekwondo and some Hapkido I took up last year." Midoriya replied, so he was the main fighter of the team, she would have to stay behind him in a supporting role then. With this knowledge, Izuku tried to come up with a suitable plan to win this challenge.

"Okay…I think the best plan is to let them think they have us duked. As we go through the place, I'll keep scanning for them or the bomb. Once we know its location, we will lead at least two of them away from it. Once that is done, one of us circles back to capture the device. Sound good?" Midoriya asked her after telling her his thoughts

"Interesting thought but what if only one is led away?" Yui asked.

"Then we take them down together, that way it will be a two of two for the device." The armored lad responded as he already could think of who was gunning for them most.

"Okay. That can be the plan of attack." Yui agreed just before the announcement to begin was aired.

"Now, let's start the indoor 3 vs 2 combat for group 1 begin." All Might announced throughout the area, to which the Midoriya unfolded his wings and after taking Yui into his arms-(it was not romantic in any way)-he flew over to a window where they could enter the place.

(With the others)

"Now everyone, you should all watch as well and see how this plays out. It may help you when your turn comes up." All might advised everyone as they watched the test being recorded through dozens of cameras and audio receptors, giving them a great seat.

(With the villains)

"Are they in yet?" Bakugo asked as he patrolled through the route they set up. He had left the bomb room as soon as the test started to search for the hero team while Jiro stayed behind.

"….Yeah, they just entered through a 2nd-floor window on the west side." Jiro responded as she could hear footsteps coming in from that direction, the hero team must have scaled the building since they never used the front door.

"Did you finish blow-touch?" Bakugo asked as he came to a corner.

"Yeah, all the short routes are blocked with debris. They can only take one of three paths." Awase replied as he made his way back to the bomb room.

"It was supposed to be one!" Bakugo yelled over the coms.

"Well sorry, I run out of time. Five minutes isn't that much to work with you know." Awase defended himself to which Bakugo just cut the connection.

"By the way, why blow-touch of all things?" Awase asked Jiro as they both knew Bakugo had signed off and couldn't hear them.

"Just go with it, I don't think he even takes the time to remember names." Jiro told him as she kept track of their movements the best she could.

(With the heroes)

"Just as I thought, no cameras like with most lairs." Midoriya said as he and Yui crept around another corner and had yet to even spot a camera.

"So they can control our direction but they can't see us?" Yui observed as she looked around for new paths, already they can come to four doors that had been fused shut.

"Seems like it. I've been scanning for a while now. The highest heat signatures are this way." Midoriya said as he checked the infrared readings again to make sure he was right.

"Listen Yui, when we find Bakugo, take this and head to the other way." Midoriya said as he took out a small grenade-looking device and passed it to her.

"Why are you so sure that it will be Bakugo, Awase from what I have observed is no slouch?" Yui asked him.

"Bakugo isn't the most….social bird in the sky, he'll come for us alone. That will leave the other two to guard the device." Midoriya replied as he rounded another corner which ended with a dead end.

"Sounds logical." Yui stated as they walked to the end of the hallway where they could see the door.

"Hold up, this path was blocked." Midoriya said as he tried to open the door but like the others, it was fused shut.

"Meaning it could be a shorter route. Suggestions?" Yui asked him as this was the right track. Midoriya inspected the door and saw that, unlike the other doors, the door wasn't fused to the frame completely, meaning it wasn't one with the building just yet.

"Can you make the door only smaller?" Midoriya asked as he stepped aside for Yui to step forward the see the thing for herself.

"I can try." Yui replied as she tried to use her quirk on the door. At first, she was getting nothing so Midoriya ripped off the parts that were fused and Yui gave him a quick thanks. "Okay, it's done." As she removed the door and placed it in her pocket.

"Good, let's go." Midoriya stated as they kept moving, at least that was the plan till Midoriya checked his scanners and saw something was coming towards them very fast.

"Move!" Midoriya yelled as he pushed Yui out of the way of what would have been a face-full of explosions, courtesy of the resident boom-boom expect.

"You good?" Midoriya asked as he got back to his feet to gauge the threat in front of them.

"Yeah, nothing serious." Yui replied as she took got back up.

"I had a feeling you would take this route, don't dodge next time Deku." Bakugo threatened as he stood in their way.

"And who in their right mind, would just stand still and let someone blow them up?" Midoriya asked as he got into a combative stance.

"Yui, when you see a chance, run past him." Midoriya told her quietly as he didn't wish for Bakugo to hear them, she got the message and simply nodded her head in confirmation.

(With the others)

"A surprise attack?" Tetsutetsu called out, seemingly disgusted by such a move.

"That's so unmanly Bakugo." Kirishima added as he was apparently of the same mind as the first.

"Would you expect any less from such a ruffian?" Monoma asked, it had already been established he didn't particularly like 1-A for reasons unknown to them so his taunts weren't as hurtful as the first few.

"A surprise attack is a tried and true strategy people, there's nothing wrong with that." All Might reminded them as there was no shame in such, it was also true that Bakugo was playing the role of villain so such moves were to be expected.

"Still, he was fast if he could dodge and save Yui like that." Ashido gushed as it was getting exciting to watch.

"He's going at it again!" Tsunotori called out as she pointed to the screens where Bakugo was charging them again.

(With group A)

"I won't do so much damage that they call the match but it'll be pretty damn close, Deku!" Bakugo yelled as he went for a big right swing but Midoriya caught his whole arm in a hold, surprising him. "What!?" and with that, Midoriya used his hold on the boy to flip him into the wall, rather than the ground. He hit the surface with so much force that the wall was cracked from the impact.

"You're too easy to read!" Midoriya told him as he slid down to the floor in a pained heap "Besides, I should say the same to you. After all I only threw you into the wall since I know you can take it. Yui, get going-remember, stick to the plan!" He finished as he turned to his team-mate quickly to see her ran past the both of them.

"On it!" Yui said as she ran down the path Bakugo came down. As she did, Bakugo had already got back up to his feet.

"You bastard…!" Bakugo growled out as he let off some explosions in his palms.

"You usually start with a big right swing. I've known you for years, there's not much I don't know about how you fight after seeing you do so since we were in kindergarten." Midoriya started as he got back into his stance.

"So let's get this party started." He finished as he dashed forward towards Bakugo, who responded with his advance.

Well, that was longer than I thought it would be. I wanted to fit in the whole fight but I reached my word limit for the chapter so that will have to continue next week people. As you all just read, the Combat training part of My hero was changed to encompass both hero classes it works in the randomness factor of hero work, you never know who you might have to work with. The other reason for that was because of the author MidnightMint who did the same in their story-(Reliving is the name, you should check it out, it's pretty good)-and I thought to myself 'it isn't something done often as I don't want to write about the same thing from canon and I added to the unpredictability of thing so why not?'

As All Might, neither side has to accomplish what they set out to do to pass the exercise but they are being judged on performance. This combined with the 3 on 2 scenarios was my brainchild as I've yet to find a story with a similar premise.

Monoma isn't as annoying yet as it's stated that kicked off after 1-A was attacked at the USJ and got super famous for it, for now-he's just confident that his class is better. Shiozaki comment on Bakugo was warranted as he doesn't scream 'polite'-(both fugitively and literally)-so those two will butt heads now and then.

And before, any of you think that Yui and Midoriya might develop feelings for one another…it's NOT going to happen. Maybe if I write another story as I've been thinking of doing, I'll do so but for this storyline, it stays just Yu and Izuku, nothing more or nothing less.

Hopefully, I'll be able to finish group A and skimmed through the battles and results of the other groups in the next chapter.
