Kebou Household

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The alarm rang, and Mira awoke instantly, almost like he was already awake, too excited to get more sleep - after all, today Mira was going to U.A.

He quickly changed into his brand new school uniform: a white dress shirt with a bright red tie, covered by a grey blazer with dark turquoise trimmings on the top of the shoulders and the lapel; he also wore dark turquoise pants with white trainers - his own choice there.

He zoomed down the stairs with his black suitcase, and Lt Kebou already waiting for him.

"You know you really should have gotten more sleep, your nearly late!" Kebou teased.

"I know! But I just couldn't!" Mira exclaimed, " I am literally attending hero school today, how could I not be pumped!?" "Plus your breakfast sandwiches are super good" he added.

"You're right, they are" Kebou agreed, then sighed, "you've done amazing Mira, you're at the final step now of your rehabilitation"

Mira looked at him, slightly confused, "I thought the final exam was the last bit, what's the last step?"

Kebou raised a hand to Mira, for a final goodbye handshake, "becoming a kick-ass hero." Both men smiled as Mira gracious took the shake, and hugged each other as a silent goodbye.

Oustide U.A High School

Thousands of successful entrants stood outside the legendary U.A Barrier, the unique security system that only let in U.A students and teachers, as well as and special guests as long as they all had ID.

Mira made his way up to the crowd, finishing his sandwich, he couldn't help but think 'Did Hayate pass? What about Angel?' while he was fired up for this new school life, he definitely knew it would be even better if at least one of them got in with him. But his doubts were quickly dashed as a loud and familiar "MIRA!" filled the air, and someone quickly latched onto him.

That person was Hayate, who was also wearing the same uniform as Mira, rocking bright yellow sneakers for his footwear; accompanied with Angel, wearing the standard uniform, altered with 2 long holes in the back for her wings and a dark turquoise skirt instead of pants with slightly expensive looking black low heel shoes. "You nearly had me there bro! I almost thought you hadn't made it!" Hayate cried.

"C'mon Hayate" Mira replied, tearing his best friend off him, "there's no way in hell that I wouldn't have made it if your here." Angel giggled at the comment, and Hayate gave Mira a light punch to his shoulder in offense.

"I guess I got to see you again Mira" Angel said, beaming with a sweet smile. Mira nodded, but before he could reply, the gates of the barrier opened and 2 people stood before the students, Principal Nezu and Present Mic.

Nezu cleared his throat and began, "welcome new students! You have persevered through countless struggles, and shown us all that you have the potential to go beyond! I hope your 3 years at this establishment will be beneficial to your development into young adults in this ever-changing world!" The crowd cheered, ready to start their new school life.

"Alright!" Bellowed Present Mic, again receiving dagger-glares from the students, "we'll separate you all into small groups, and some of our amazing second years will give y'all a terrific tour of the school! Please make your way to your classes after so you can chill with your new classmates and meet your homeroom teacher!"

Inside U.A High School

The tour was spectacular, everything in the school was so hi-tech: interactive working desks in all the classrooms, the state-of-the-art gyms that had advanced sparring bots, even all the clubs the school had received decent budgets, enough to acquire the best tools to help them.

U.A High School Cafeteria

The cafeteria was huge, and thanks to being run by the Cooking Hero, Lunch Rush - a wide array of foods from many different cuisines were being served: Japanese, Chinese, French, American - you want it, it was probably already there.

U.A High School Sports Training Grounds

The huge grounds gave lots of room to play many different sports, football, baseball, Mira even noticed they had a superball court. Right next to the sports grounds, were the multiple training grounds that simulated potential scenarios a hero will encounter, Ground Alpha is based on natural disasters (floods, earthquakes, etc.) where the land can be unstable and hard to move through, Ground Beta is based on the City, with tall buildings and narrow alleys everywhere, Ground Gamma is the industrial area, were explosive substances containers and pipes are everywhere training quirk usage and awareness.

Student Dorms: Heights Alliance

The student dorms were also pretty massive, each building housed only 1 class, yet it still towered over everyone. There were enough rooms for each student which all came with en-suites, there was even a small spa room with saunas and jacuzzis. The living room provided ample space for everyone to get together and chill, with a large TV too.

Once the tour ended, the trio were speechless, this place had - everything! They made their way to the reception near the entrance to find out what class they were in, to find out that they were all in the same class, 1-A.

1-A Classroom

Once at the classrooom, after staring intensely at the menacingly huge door, the gang decided to enter.

The room was pack with about 11 other people - some talking to others to develop new circles, while others stayed out of the mingling, deep in study or thought. Soon after entering the room, the three heard a loud gasp, followed by a girly squeal, as someone raced up to Mira and Hayate, exclaiming "it's them, it's them! The ones that took down the 100-pointer!"

The excited girl had snow white hair tied back in a ponytail, and snow white skin, but her skin didn't really look human-like, it appeared to be hardened almost like it was an exoskeleton instead. Looking down, you could see that her slim legs had demarcated joints resembling that of an insect, as well as her hands and fingers. She stared at Mira and Hayate with her 4 eyes with scarlet pupils and light pink sclera, though her second pair of eyes were much smaller and placed near the front of her temples. Though she still had many human features across her face and body, Mira couldn't help but think that she resembled a spider, but unlike the creature many are afraid of, she didn't seem all too scary at all, but rather friendly, maybe a bit too friendly. "Sorry" the spider-girl apologised, "I get a bit 'intense' when meeting someone for the first time" she brought out her hand, "I'm Yokina Kumori, pleasure to meet ya!" Both accepted her honest gesture. But as more of 1-A came over to check out another student, a hulking mass made its way over to the duo.

He was much taller than Mira, about 6'7", and definitely much bulkier. His dark red eyes stared condescendingly down at the two, through his long, wild dark orange hair as he said, " so these are the two grunts that beat that measly 100-pointer huh? Well... don't get big-headed for doing something like that, if I encountered my one, I would have destroyed it easily... alone."

"But ya didn't now did ya big guy?" Hayate jeered, earning a fearsome glare, "oooh, Mira I think someone's a bit jealous!"

After some quiet chuckles arose from the rest if the class, the mammoth immediately grabbed Hayate by the collar and pulled the boy up to his face, "You trying to pick a fight?" The behemoth beckoned, but Mira intervened fast to stop it escalating.

"He just made a joke man, you need to back off" he warned separating the two.

"Eh? You think you can tell me what to do? Damn sidekicks..." the bully replied. Mira was quickly reminded of Jack through this guy, they were both irritatingly arrogant, but this guy seemed to be a but less intellectually capable than the cunning Jack.

But just before the large kid could raise his fist up, another voice appeared, breaking the tension and coming from behind Angel.

"Excuse me? I need to get through, I have a class to homeroom" the feminine voice asked. Angel quickly stepped aside, understanding immediately who was behind her, and the woman stepped through. "Please boys, don't start a fight on your first day, now get to your seat everyone, homeroom is starting."

Everyone sat down, Mira getting a good middle seat next to Hayate and the window for daydreaming. Angel was sat at the back of Mira's column, since she didn't want her wings to obscure others. Even with everyone sat down, the rest of the students noticed, that 2 of their seats were unoccupied.

The homeroom teacher looked to be in her mid -20s, with bright red hair and eyes, she had a cheerful smile spread across her face as she inspected her new class. She was a Pro-Hero, someone who received payment from the government based on her heroic performance - currently in her hero costume, which consisted of a 1 piece skinsuit, covering her entire body up to her neck, the suit was split into 3 portions vertically, with each portion being filled with a different colour, red on her right, blue in the middle and yellow on the left. Just above the centre of her chest was a medallion with a three-headed hydra engraved on it - each head had a pair of different gems embedded within them, rubies on the right head, sapphires on the middle head and topaz on the left head.

Many of the students in the class got excited, knowing exactly who the person before all of them was, but Mira didn't since he wasn't a big fan of heroes. She started, "Welcome Class 1-A, I'm Red Hedra and I'll be your homeroom teacher this year, you can call me Ms Red. I'm sure most of you here already know 'us' as Ms Hydra, but just to be sure, allow me to introduce 'ourselves'."

'Us? Ourselves?' Mira thought deeply, not understanding what she meant. But he soon found out, as Ms Hydra closed her eyes and quickly, her hair changed colour from a bright red, to a deep blue. She opened her eyes, revealing they to had changed colour.

"Good morning everyone" she said, in a monotonous, apathetic manner, "I'm Ms Blue" she sighed, "cause Red is such a simpleton, she forgot to tell you that she'll also be teaching you Japanese, while I'm teaching maths."

Blue did the same thing as Red and closed her eyes again, this time her hair changed from a deep blue, to a striking yellow. "Ahahaha! The name's Ms Yellow kids! I'll be your science teacher this year!" Yellow seemed to be way more unhinged compared to the other two Hedra's. I crazy smile grew on her face, as she said, "alright, now that introductions are complete! I wanna see what us three have to deal with for the next 3 years! We're going outside!"

The class was excited, what were they going to do first, if they're going outside, they must be getting ready to do some training - Mira was already about to jump out if his seat.

"When I call on ya name from this register please make your way to ya dorms to change into your gym kit." Yellow stated, "then make your way to the fields."

"Hayate Yuso! Yokina Kumori!" Both the goofball and the spider stood up and silently exited the room.

"Okoma Yaiju! Angel Sora!" The brutish boy that confronted Mira and Hayate stood up and left the room with Angel. 'Sora... where have I heard that name before?' Mira wondered.

"Taro Mitaru! Omamori Komaeda!" Both boys rose up and moved out. Taro appeared to be 'perfect', with silky light purple hair that went down to his jaw, and never below. The stern look his silver eyes gave through his crystal-clear glasses, gave Mira the impression that he was super serious, or just really uptight. Omamori, on the other hand, seemed to be really chill. Like... REALLY chill, as if he really didn't have a care in the world. His black hair was messy and his facial hair was growing rampantly, giving him some stubble across his lightly tanned face.

"Oh yeah miss, you can just call me 'Oma'" Oma stated, his dark brown eyes staring off as he left.

"Satori Hatai! Satoru Hatai!" The twins stood up simultaneously, both looked like the male and female counterparts to each other. With bright red hair and hazel eyes. Satori had two long pigtails that reached past her shoulders, while Satoru had a much more resevered, keeping his fluffy hair cut short. The sister appeared extremely confident and amiable compared to her stoic brother, who was emotionless.

"Fukuro Shisen! Sei Kinzoku" Fukuro definitely was the most muscular of all the girls, she looked like she had undergone muscle building training her entire. She had a tomboyish look, with short black hair that kinda resembled a raven, her focused red reticule-eyes gave a powerful glare to everyone. But Sei, Sei was... a one-of-a-kind. The man was entirely metal, but it didn't look like a metal-skin quirk. He was a robot! The tiny pistons he used for muscles and the intricate wiring that acted as his veins and arteries could be seen from the small gaps in his plating. His face was human like, but he had no nose and his eyes glowed a dark blue. Mira stared at him in awe as he exited, 'I have a robot as a classmate!' He thought.

"Daigo Jikan! Kusaki Yakuso!" Daigo looked, pretty average - average height, no signs of physical training with curly white hair and bright topaz eyes. But Mira was wary, acknowledging that Daigo must have someone special in order to be here with him.

Kusaki had a mystical and gothic appearance to herself. Her long hair had a smooth purple gradient from periwinkle the top to violet at the tip, like a flower petal which complemented her stem-like pale green body.

"Shin Yume! Mira Kagemaru!" The last boys stood up and both left the classroom. Shin had dark blue hair, black eyes and a VERY confident smile spread across his face, making Mira think of only one word. Eccentric. SUPER eccentric!

Outside the room and on their way to the dorms, Shin turned to Mira dramatically and asked, "lets hope I'm not too stunningly brilliant out there, right?" Mira shook his head and silently walked away from Shin, scolding himself for always making the right predictions, at the wrong time.

U.A High School Sports Grounds

Mira made his way over to his class in his new gym kit, composed of his own black trainers blue pants and a blue shirt, the shirt had 'UA' on it in large white font, and the 'A' went all the way down to the bottom of the pants, the sleeves also had a bit of white at red. The shirt was reversible turning into a white shirt with a blue 'UA'.

"Alright ladies and gents!" Yellow started holding a duffel bag, "we're gonna have a little team building competition today! The way we've decided to do this is by... having a game!" as she pulled out a football from her bag.

The whole class stared at her bewildered, they all thought they would be doing some actual hero stuff today, not playing sports. "Ms Yellow, no offence but... is there any point in doing this?" Taro requested, pushing his glasses up, "we're in the hero course, I'm sure we all expected to do something that would aid us in our goal of becoming Pros."

Yellow snickered, "did you seriously think that on the first day I was just going to start off with getting all of you to fight robots or simulate hostage scenarios?" Taro remained silent, "hmm, thought so... I first need to see what you're all capable of doing and where your weak points lay." A crazy grin grew on her face and she continued, "we're gonna do a 7-a-side football match - unlike actual football though you may use your quirks however you like, just don't kill anyone! Ahahaha!"

It all made sense now to 1-A. Sports are a good way to build teamwork, and by allowing them to use their quirks, creativity and general control can easily be assessed, "a genius move" Taro stated defeated, "sorry for being so forward, I should have known that U.A always knows what their doing."

The class was split. White Team: Taro, Kusaki, Satori, Oma, Fukuro, Shin and Okoma. Blue Team: Satoru, Sei, Yokina, Daigo, Angel, Mira and Hayate.

Mira could see that Satoru and Satori were both dissatisfied by the results of the team arrangements. "Miss, me and Satoru work way better together, so how come we got put on different teams?" Satori asked.

"Oh sweetie! I know that you two have great compatibility" Yellow answered, putting two fingers together, "so I want to see what you two can do as 'individuals'" moving the pair of fingers apart as she concluded her analogy, and left the disheartened Satori to her own devices.

Blue team huddled together.

"Okay" Sei said, with his computerised human voice energetically, "tell me all of your quirks and I'll arrange our formation that will best utilise each of us!"

After quickly going through the ways everyone's quirk works, Sei started up his software, "beginning Battle Formation Compatibility Software." His eyes began to flash like a blue strobe light and Sei remained quiet and still for a couple seconds, then awakened from his computing trance, "alright I got it! Satoru, you'll be in goal. Yokina and I will be in defense. Mira, Angel and Daigo will be midfielders, and Hayate will be our forward."

With each team's formation complete, the game could start with the Blue Team kicking off. "Okay everybody!" Yellow screamed, "lets see your Plus Ultra!" And the whistle blew.

Hayate took the ball from Mira and speedily began moving up the field. Okoma's large body provided a decent barricade against the attack, but Hayate responded by sinking into the floor with his portal quirk, and appearing again from behind the behemoth. "He has a portal quirk?!" Okoma raged.

"That's right! A hundred points to Okoma!" Hayate responded, "now... catch me if you can!" Immediately he began zipping from one point to another - no one from the White Team could stop him. He broke past the midfield, then the defense line, and eventually made it to Taro, the goalkeeper.

"Take this!" Hayate yelled as he blasted the football into the top right of the goal. But, Taro was already there! And he caught it with ease. Hayate kissed his teeth and ran back to his side of the pitch.

"Now we counter-attack!" Taro threw the ball to Fukuro, who didn't move once she received it. She stood still and scan her environment, seeing Okoma running down the left wing, with her reticule set on a point, she punted the ball, and it flew across the pitch, too fast for Angel to even attempt to intercept it in the sky - the ball flew 90 metres and landed, right next to Okoma!

"Alright!" He bellowed, "I'll break em apart!" Soon his body began to swell, and increase drastically in size, he went from 6'4" to about 7'6", his heavily tanned skin went from light brown to a dark crimson, and his dark red eyes glowed orange. After he gave a furious war cry, and began his charge. Though he was huge, his speed was insane! He zoomed past Daigo, shoving him off the pitch easily - Sei and Yokina both tried to defend against him but he was too powerful, and his charge broke through the duo's defense like a battering ram.

One on one with Satoru, Okoma began to take his shot at him, but a nearby Satori tried to intervene, putting a hand out.

"Wait! Don't shoot yet!" She warned, but Okoma didn't take notice, and fired the football, leaving a small sonic boom behind it. The ball zoomed across the pitch and was caught by Satoru - however, he wasn't instantly overpowered by the shot, at first he seemed to be struggling to hold the shot at bay, but eventually the ball wore down and stopped spinning, like all its energy had been sapped from it.

An angry Satori confronted the monster, "you big idiot! I was trying to tell you! Satoru has a quirk that weakens anything he touches, so it doesn't matter how powerful the shot is, if he can catch it, it's not getting past him!"

"You can't tell me what to do, piss off" the monstrous Okoma growled, and walked away from the fuming Satori.

Play resumed and Satoru threw the ball high up into the air, which was caught gracefully by Angel who held it with her legs, she proceeded to glide across the field with her snow white wings, leaving most of the White Team unable to defend against her. But soon something caught he leg, pulling her down and dropping the ball. It was a vine! Sent up with incredible accuracy from Kusaki, once the ball fell, it released her and receded into the earth. Kusaki attempted to pass the ball to Shin, but a thin, black wall appeared in front of him, and the ball rebounded of it to Mira, who deactivate the quirk and let the blade of grass fall to the floor. His experiment worked, he could use Shadow matter on objects he had touched recently, but wasn't currently, though is was much harder to maintain and didn't have a large range.

He began his move and dribbled through the midfield with skilful coordination. Eventually he encounter Oma, blocking Mira from the goal. Mira couldn't force his way through, but with a quick feint he got around him. But, before Mira got away Oma got a tap on his right shoulder, shrugging afterwards and letting Taro handle it.

Mira was through. Taro readied himself and Mira noticed that he was already in the spot he was thinking about shooting in. He pulled his leg back and took his shot..

And missed! Soon he felt his balance shifting backwards, causing Mira to fall right on his butt, leaving the ball to roll of the pitch. Mira sat there, confused and embarrassed - he was certain he was going to hammer that football, but, by some cruel twisted fate he flopped quite an easy shot, and slipped over for additional awkwardness.

"Hahaha! Nice one Mira" Okoma taunted, pointing an orge finger at his victim, "If that's how you took down the 100-pointer, then I guess it really wasn't that big of a deal!"

Angel came over to help her crestfallen friend up, "don't listen to him," she said sending out a helping hand.

Mira nodded, taking her hand and lifting himself up, "we'll wipe that dumbass smile off his dumbass face soon enough." And the two made their way back to their side.

Play resumed and the ball was given to Satori. "You wanna see what I can do Ms Yellow!" She exclaimed, "then I'll show you." All of a sudden she started moving extremely fast across the pitch, even though she was in the defence, all of the sudden she was already at the halfway line, before the Blue Team could even respond!

"Was she always that fast?" Daigo asked shocked, "why would she be a defender if she had a speed quirk?"

"I don't think it's a speed quirk" Sei answered, "I checked the school database, her quirk lets her amplify the properties of anything. She most likely used it on herself."

"He right Satoru?" Daigo asked, looking to the goalie and getting a couple nods back."so she's amplified her speed and strength!"

"What can we do to stop her?" Sei wondered, "Dammit! She's already at our midfield line!"

Satori passed the ball the Shin, panting due to the penalty of using her quirk on herself, "that's... all... I can do... for now."

"Do not fret Madame, I shall spin your inelegant spectacle into a stunning sight!" Shin responded, "with my... BEAUTIFUL ILLUSIONS!"

'Maybe I shouldn't have passed to him' Satori wondered.

Suddenly, dark blue smoke began forming around him, and all of a sudden, there was another Shin with another football! Angel, Daigo and Yokina tried to each tackle one of them, but one of Shin easily and quite impressively danced around Angel and Yokina with precise dribbling. The other Shin exploded into blue smoke with a POOF! Once Daigo touched the football with his sliding tackle, leaving him coughing and wheezing, while shin was through on goal.

Shin made another clone, and both simultaneously took the shot. The pair of footballs sped through the air, each going in opposite directions. "I'll get the right one, you get the left!" Sei commanded, and both attempted to block their respective shots. The balls approached, Satoru punched it with his fist, Sei blocked it with his foot.

POOF! Both footballs exploded into smoke! And with the goal keeper-less, Shin blasted his real shot into an open net.

"GOOOAAAL!" Yellow screamed, "that's 1-0 to the White Team!"

"Oh I truly am brilliant!" Shin stated, "Did my Illusions stupefy you?"

And with that, the first half ended.
