Whispering


Winter yawns quietly into her hand, scratching the back of her head. She walks into her rowdy classroom, wincing at the noise.

"Winter-chan!" Ochako exclaims cheerfully, walking up to the tall girl. Winter smiles softly and gives a small wave.

"Hello Ochako-chan. How are you?" Winter greets politely while she walks to her seat. Ochako follows after her with a skip in her step.

"I'm still a bit shocked I'm going to UA. How are you?" Ochako asks with a bright smile. Winter stifles a yawn as she sits down, taking off her satchel.

"Just a bit tired. I was so focused on my current design, I forgot to go to bed," Winter admits with a small shrug. Ochako giggles and smiles softly.

"Maybe you can take a nap during lunch? We have hero training today," The brunette suggests, making Winter smile.

"I'll be fine. Thank you for your suggestion," Winter says before the door opens. Shōta walks in with a slouch, Ringo following after him with a bright smile.

The class immediately quiets down, everyone going to their seats. Shōta stares, approval in his eyes, before he sighs and waves a hand in Ringo's direction.

"Because of her parents concerns about her safety here in Japan, Lady Ravette is assigned a personal bodyguard chosen by herself and checked by the Hero Commission. His top priority is to protect Lady Ravette and this class in case anything happens. He will be here under the guise of being my teacher's assistant. His name is Yaoyorozu Ringo," Shōta explains tiredly. Ringo gives the class a lazy wave, his smile turning brighter.

"Yo," The 18 year old says, stuffing his hands into his pockets.

"Your parents have been notified that he is Lady Ravette's bodyguard and they have all signed a non-disclosure agreement. You are all forbidden from revealing him as a bodyguard to the public, and the consequences will be severe if any of you leak this information out to the media," Shōta continues with a serious expression. "Only Lady Ravette and Nezu have the permission to reveal any of this information."

"Does anyone have any questions?" Shōta sighs heavily when he sees almost everyone raising their hands.

"Are you related to Yaoyorozu-san?" Ochako asks curiously.

"Yep! She's my baby sister," Ringo answers with a cheerful smile. Momo keeps her eyes on her desk, fidgeting with her fingers.

"Are you qualified to be a bodyguard? You only look a few years older than us," Denki asks with a confused expression.

"Well, I hope so. Out of five candidates, Winter-kun chose me. Besides I've been trained to become the head of security for my family's company and the personal bodyguard for my Imōto when she inherits the company," Ringo says with a shrug.

"What's your Quirk?" Izuku asks, a burnt notebook open and pen ready to start writing.

"It's Chemical Creation. I can create any chemical as long as it comes from the elements. I don't use it much, because it uses up 1,000 calories to create one chemical," Ringo explains, leaning against the podium.

"Really?! So you can create any element?" Izuku asks excitedly, quickly writing down the information.

"Why does Ravette-san need a bodyguard? Shouldn't the heroes be enough?" Minoru asks, making Winter pause. The brunette male sighs and stares at Winter. Winter glances up and shakes her head.

"Winter-kun's parents are trying to be prepared. Heroes won't be able to watch Winter-kun outside of this school or outside of hero agencies. I am hired to be her shadow until Momo-chan becomes of age to inherit our family's company and I am reassigned as her bodyguard," Ringo explains carefully, making sure not to say anything about the assassination attempt.

"That's all the questions we have for. If you still have any, ask them outside of class," Shōta says, making those who were left unanswered to grumble.

Winter sighs quietly, shoulders relaxing slightly. She crosses her ankles and leans back.

"This is going to be a long day of questions," Winter thinks with a tired sigh.


Winter yawns quietly into her arms, desperately ignoring the incredibly excited class. Her back ached from laying her head in her arms for so long, but she was too tired to lift her head.

"There's rumors that All Might's a teacher here this year! Isn't that crazy?!" Denki exclaims excitedly.

"To be taught by All Might, just saying it is crazy!" Hanta adds. Winter groans quietly when the class gets even louder.

BAM!

Winter bolts upright so fast, her vision goes dark for a few moments.

"I AM... COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" All Might's voice booms through the classroom. Winter blinks rapidly, slowly relaxing her tight grip on her desk.

"OH MY GOD! IT'S ALL MIGHT!"

"HOLY–THE RUMORS ARE TRUE!"

Winter feels a headache form from the blood rushing to her head and from the screams and shouts of her class.

"Calm down!" Winter shouts over the noise, making the class go quiet. She sighs in relief and takes a deep breath.

"All Might-Sensei won't have any time in class left if we continue to freak out," The white haired teenager adds calmly.

"Thank you, Young Ravette!" All Might says loudly, giving her a thumbs up. Winter feels her cheeks warm while she gives a small nod.

"I teach Hero Basic Training. It is a subject where you train in different ways to learn the basics of being a hero. You'll take the most units of this subject!" All Might explains, the entire class attentive. The tall man goes into an odd pose.

"Let's get right into it! This is what we'll do today–" He pauses and brings out a post card with BATTLE written in bright red letters. "–Combat Training!"

"Combat–"

"–training..." Katsuki and Izuku speak at the same time, Katsuki with a sinister grin on his face and Izuku expressing his nervousness.

"And to go with that are these!" All Might points to the wall. Immediately, panels come out with numbered cases. Winter starts clapping her hands, a bright smile on her face.

"Costumes made based on your Quirk registrations and requests you sent in before school started," The blonde man says while the panels finish pulling out. The class bursts in excitement, Winter to happy to bother about her headache

"I'll finally be able to test out my own costume!" The white haired teenager thinks, smile growing even wider.

"After you change, gather in Ground Beta!" All Might states loudly.

"Yes, sir!" The entire class exclaims loudly before they all quickly run over to the panels, grabbing their assigned case. Winter easily reaches hers, a bright green 21 labeled on top, and walks out of the classroom, towards the female locker room.

"Oh, I'm so excited! Momo-chan, I'll finally be able to get some field testing with my costume!" Winter cheers, keeping her case close to her chest. Momo giggles, holding hers by the handle with both hands.

"I hope the support class did well with what I requested," Momo says, making Winter frown slightly.

"You'll let me check?" Winter asks when they reach the locker room. Momo smiles and nods her head, both of them entering. Winter smiles and enters a changing room, quickly shutting the door. She takes a deep breath and sets her case down on the bench.

"Here goes!" Winter opens the case and grins when she sees the bright, contrasting colors of her costume. After quickly taking off her clothes, Winter grabs the first part of her costume and puts it on.

The first part of her costume is a skin tight body suit. It had no sleeves, went up to her chin, and went down to her ankles. From the neck, down to a few inches below her chest was bright red. Starting from her left ribs and going diagonally down, around her body, back to her left ribs, was a bright cerulean blue. It was shaped like an action bubble from a comic book, but with thinner, longer spikes. The blue went down both her legs, until just below her knees with spikes, where the red continued. On her left side, from the neck, down to her left ankle, was a hidden zipper for her take the costume off and on easily.

The next part is her gloves and her mask. Her gloves are fingerless and went up to her elbows. Cerulean blue started from her fingers, up into spikes in the middle of the gloves, where the bright red continued up to her elbows. The mask was a domino mask that she tied right under her hair. It was bright red with bright cerulean blue spiking around her eyes, outward, appearing like stars.

The next thing Winter put on, is a waist cincher corset. It had vertical panels of ember orange with the middle on both the front and the back being the bright red in diagonal panels. The laces were black and could be mechanically tightened, so it wouldn't come undone from pulling.

The last thing she puts on–which is always her favorite with any outfit–is her shoes. They were under the knee, four inch heel boots. The back of the boots, from where the buttons are connected, was ember orange with the rest being black. The heel was cerulean blue and the eleven buttons on each boot went down in a pattern of red, orange, blue. Winter clicked her heels once and squeals in excitement when blades appear out from the bottom of her boots and form ice skating blades. She clicks her heels twice and watches the blades retract.

"Oh, this is amazing! I hope everything works correctly!" Winter squeals again, jumping up and down in excitement.

"Winter-chan, is everything okay?" Momo speaks from outside the changing room. Winter runs a hand through her hair and opens the door, a wide grin on her face.

"Look! Mama did such an amazing job!" Winter spins around, showing off her bright costume.

"That's so lit! You look awesome!" Mina exclaims, putting on her boots. Momo nods her head in agreement and giggles.

"Auntie Whisper never does anything less than perfect for anyone. She did a wonderful job!" Momo compliments with a bright smile. Winter smiles back before she notices the black haired girl in her costume.

It was a high collared, sleeveless, crimson leotard with silver lines around her waist and arms. It's open from her neck to her navel, exposing her skin. Two gold utility belts were around her waist and a thinner one went around the top portion of her chest, below her shoulders. She had on calf-length, crimson heeled boots, dipping sharply down in the center.

"This is horrible," Winter mutters with a frown, feeling the fabric of the leotard and the utility belts.

"Not even a steel fiber fabric! Just an aluminum carbon fiber! And not to mention how clunky these utility belts are! It'll be able to tear easily!" Winter rants, stretching the fabric slightly.

"It doesn't even have the smallest amount of armour! Not even some cheap padding! And the colors!" Winter continues a bit louder. "Earth tones go with your complexion so much more beautifully than crimson! You can always pull off crimson, but with silver, silver, and gold?! They're trying to wash you out!"

Winter doesn't notice how Momo just smiles and leads her to Ground Beta. The rest of the girls follow after the two, watching Winter rant with wide eyes.

"–this is a wonderful costume, but why couldn't they use the right materials? Or armour?! I mean, a decent part of a hero's popularity comes from how aesthetically pleasing their costume is to the media and how it relates in some form to their Quirk and their name, but practicality is more important when you're fighting villains!" Winter was still in her rant when the girls reach Ground Beta. The boys and All Might stare at her weirdly while Ringo laughs softly.

"Nīsan, you have to convince Nezu-Sensei in allowing Winter-chan to redesign my costume. She'll start ranting about how impractical most hero costumes are soon and I'm not mentally capable listen to that rant again," Momo begs, her hands clasped in front of her. Ringo notices her costume and frowns.

"I can see where Winter-kun's coming from. Silver, gold, and crimson? It doesn't even look like there's any padding! And it's designed way to sexily for a 15 year old," Ringo says, his eyes narrowed. "Oh, Winter-kun."

"Yes?" Winter asks, glaring holes into Momo's costume. Ringo smiles and gives a dramatic flourish wave with his hands.

"Love the costume. Auntie Whisper did amazing," The brunette says, successfully distracting Winter.

"Thank you," Winter says with a bright smile.

"You look badass!" Denki exclaims with wide eyes. Winter scratches the back of her head and averts her gaze.

"Shouldn't your costume be white and blue? Kero," A short 15 year old with long, dark green hair, big eyes, and fair skin asks curiously. Winter shrugs her shoulders, tightening her mask.

"White will wash out my skin tone completely. Same with too much blue. I look better in reds. Orange usually doesn't go with my complexion, but it's complementary with the cerulean and the red and if I left the blue and red alone, it would contrast weirdly. I will never wear grey unless it can go with a bright color. Icy blues are only good as accessories, like my scarf, and all silver will make me look trashy," Winter explains, putting her hands on her hips. She frowns while she scrutinizes everyone's costume.

"I'm redesigning everyone's costume before we graduate, even if it's the last thing I do," Winter states, glaring heavily at Momo's and Denki's costumes.

"Excuse you, Albino Bitch?! My costume's perfect!" Katsuki snarls angrily, making Winter stare at him. She scrutinizes his costume, face completely blank.

"Definitely aesthetically pleasing. Doesn't have armor or padding, except for your kneepads, and those gloves. I assume those gauntlets are some type of weapon you can use your Quirk with, so they don't count. With just a glance, the fabric looks like the normal aluminum carbon fiber and will tear easily. The stitching looks decent, but those are simple stitches and can tear easily after so many fights. Also, the thread used in the stitching is probably some normal thread or just plain carbon thread instead of a stronger type. The design is wonderful, I won't change it, except for a few adjustments. I'll change the black to a coal grey, so it would appear less daunting to the media and the gauntlets would have to shrink to a smaller size," Winter points out the problems she sees with a small scowl.

"With your Quirk, titanium fiber might combust if it starts to fray. Tungsten mixed with steel fiber would be best for the fabric. The pants need to be slimmer by a few inches. Steel thread will be used for the stitching and I would probably have to use back stitches. The gloves will need to be made out of tungsten fiber to handle all of the heat that builds up. I could sew a steel mesh layer in-between two throughout the entire costume as armor, " Winter adds as an afterthought. Her fingers twitch rapidly while the white haired teenager mentally takes notes.

"Unfortunately, there isn't much else I can do until I can observe how you utilize your Quirk and how you fight without it." Winter messes with her gloves with a small frown.

"Woah..." Mina trails off, mouth open and eyes wide. Winter blinks rapidly and focuses on the pink girl, noticing everyone staring at her in shock, excluding her best friend and her bodyguard.

"Oh–Of course, I won't redesign your costume without your permission, Bakugō-san. I was criticizing who created the costume, not the design," Winter quickly corrects herself with a small bow.

"Focus everyone! Now is time for combat training!" All Might says, bringing the focus back to him. Winter gives Katsuki one last smile before turning.

"Sir!" Tenya raises his hand, his voice echoing through the helmet he wore. Winter gives his costume a once-over, frowning slightly.

"It's almost exactly like Ingenium's costume. Well, Iida-kun is his little brother if I remember correctly..." Winter thinks, focusing back on All Might.

"This is the battle center from the entrance exam, so will we be conducting urban battles again?" Tenya asks.

"No. We're going to move ahead two steps!" All Might says, holding up two fingers. Winter bites the inside of her cheek.

"Isn't this his first day teaching?" The white haired teenager thinks.

"Most of the time, fighting villains takes place outside, but if you look at the total numbers, atrocious villains appear indoors at a higher rate. Imprisonment, house arrest, backroom deals–In this society filled with heroes, truly intelligent villains hide in the shadows!" All Might starts, clearing his throat. "For this class, you'll be split into villains and heroes and fight 2-on-2 indoor battles."

"Without basic training?" The green haired girl asks, tilting her head.

"I have a bad feeling about this..."

"This is a real battle to understand those basics!" All Might exclaims.

"My bad feeling just got worse."

"However, the key this time is that there's no robot you can just beat up."

"How will wins and losses be determined?" Winter and Momo ask at the same time. They both smile at each other before focusing on the No. 1 Hero.

"Can we beat them up anyway?"

"Will the punishment be expulsion like with Aizawa-Sensei?"

"How shall we be split up?"

"Isn't this cape crazy?"

"Everyone, quiet!" Winter announces firmly. "Give All Might-Sensei a chance to answer our questions."

"Thanks again, Young Ravette! Yes, I will answer all of your questions!" All Might says, taking out a small book.

"Now listen here. The situation is that the villains have hidden a nuclear weapon somewhere in there hideout. The heroes are trying to dispose of that. The heroes need to catch the villains or get the nuclear weapon back in the allotted time. The villains need to protect the nuclear weapon the whole time or catch the heroes," All Might explains. Winter smiles softly.

"Pretty American," Winter thinks with amusement.

"Teams and opponents will be determined by drawing lots!" All Might picks up a bright yellow box and shows it to the class.

"They're being decided so haphazardly?!" Tenya asks in surprise.

"Pros often have to create makeshift teams with heroes from other agencies, so maybe that's why?" Izuku suggests.

"I see. The discernment to look ahead... Please excuse my rudeness!" Tenya bows in apology.

"It's fine. Let's do this quickly!" All Might turns around and pumps his fist into the air.

"Um–All Might-Sensei, if it's 2-on-2 battles, a team will have to be repeated or two teams need to have three people. There is 22 students in this class, which makes up eleven teams," Winter says with furrowed eyebrows. All Might laughs and nods his head.

"That's correct! One battle will be 3-on-3 to keep it fair, for today," The blonde man says. Winter smiles and nods her head, picking a lot.

"Team K..."

"The first teams to fight will be..." All Might trails off as he digs into two boxes. "These guys!" He holds up two balls with D and A written on them.

"Team A will be the heroes, and Team D will be the villains! Team K, since you are the eleventh team, will be split between these two! You can choose which side you want! Everyone else, head toward the monitor room," All Might says.

"Yes, sir!" The class shouts before walking off. Winter notices Minoru standing off to the side and gives him a small wave.

"Flip a coin?" Winter suggests, creating a coin with her ice. Minoru shrugs, staring at Winter's chest. The white haired teenager fidgets nervously while she adds details to each side of the coin.

"Flower is heroes, star is villains," Winter says, showing each side before she flips the coin into the air.

"Flower!" Minoru calls out, watching the coin fall. Winter catches the coin and places it on her hand without looking at it. She moves her hand and smiles apologetically.

"Star. Sorry, Mineta-kun. Better luck next time," She says, dissolving the coin. Minoru grumbles and trudges over to Katsuki and Tenya. Winter makes her way over to Izuku and Ochako.

"This is going to be... entertaining, at least."


Hey. Hope you like the new chapter! A little long, but there wasn't really any good places to stop until the first 2-on-2 battle.

Also, did I do a good job describing Winter's costume? I hope I did. Hope you all like the story so far! Bai!
