Sorry for being so late! Uni was killing me last two weeks, but I hope everything will be fine from now. Now on ao3 as well.

Thanks to your reviews, I understand better what people want from this concept of Izuku in HPSC. If you are interested in something, I think I will be able to put something like this in my story. Even if it won't be a major part of the story, I can make it as a reference or a fanservice. I have one added for Iorweth22 in this chapter.


Midoriya's office, 5:31 PM.

"Sorry for taking your time" Midoriya said on the phone.

"Are you kidding? Thanks to you, I finally got my real job back" Said the man that one day took him to the HPSC – Suzuya-san. "Remember, students are a secondary job. You are a representative of the Commission. The most important thing is not to do anything that can somehow cause us reputational harm."

"Of course" Midoriya replied, putting on his jacket, "Everything is as you taught."

"Considering your half–dead condition after your operations, I can't be completely sure how you learned everything. Okay, we have another call here. One of Endeavor's sidekicks accidently burnt someone"

"Going to keep them silent with money?"

"You are making it sound as if we are doing something shady here. We will make sure that Endeavor's agency pays for the treatment and the compensation. Well, it's not really a problem with his agency, they are kind of used to it. In return the injured and his family don't talk about it."

"I guess that's just the way it is"

"Yep"

"…Anyway, thank you for your advice. When UA will have anything planned with the media that concerns us, I'll call you. Is that fine with you?"

"Of course. Now go get some rest." Izuku could hear smile in Suzuya's words.

"Yes sir"

After that, Suzuya hung up, and Midoriya went to the exit.


UA exteriors, 5:38 PM.

In general, the first day went quite well. Even though he has been working at UA for a month, the real work begins only now, when the semester has begun.

He met Momo, Ashido, Kirishima, and met Jiro for the first time. He made contact with Shinsou and Monoma, whose training he should start tomorrow. The plan was drawn up together with the instructors from the Commission based on the first tests, and their training results will also be regulated by them.

The meeting with Class A went well. Tomorrow there will be the first classes on quirks in both classes that Izuku planned to attend.

However, there were two problems that did not pass by his eyes.

The first was Todoroki Shoto. For some unknown reason to Izuku, the young student had problems with him. Definitely, Izuku wasn't the problem. The guy simply did not know the representative, and his look was quite...uninterested, at first. Exactly until Shoto found out that Izuku was part of HPSC. The teen started looking at Izuku with disdain. Most likely there will be some problems with the Endeavor's son, but only time will tell.

The second problem was…

The second problem was standing at the gate of the UA with red eyes glaring at the young representative. Bakugou Katsuki.

"De-Mid-Deku" He…somewhat greeted, unsure of a better way to call Izuku.

"Bakugou." Greeted in kind Midoriya, going through the gates. He tried not to look at the teen.

They both live pretty close to each other, and not far from UA. It looked like the road home was going to be quite interesting.

"Explain" Katsuki half-ordered, following the representative.

"Explain what?"

"What do you mean what?! You disappear for ten months and now somehow work in UA?"

Midoriya ignored him.

"Hey!"

"Stop ignoring me!"

Midoriya stopped and turned to the other teen.

"I think I have every right to ignore you, Bakugou" Said Midoriya with a scowl, "And what's with you actually talking to me? Weren't you the one who started ignoring me ten years ago, huh?"

Izuku was an operative of the Hero Commission. He was the official face of the Commission in UA. But…he was also a teen. And teens hold grudges.

"You still-!"

"Oh no, no no. Don't interrupt me now! You wanted me to explain, Bakugou? I'll do that, then! While you were happily training for UA, attending school, I was getting this!" Midoriya pointed at the scar near his eye. "I was-"

Katsuki was having none of this.

"This!" Katsuki pointed at the scar again, interrupting him anyway. "Idiot, this is exactly the reason I stopped talking to you!"

Now it was Izuku's turn to be surprised. Katsuki continued.

"You are quirkless, dipshit! You couldn't become a hero! If you stayed with us, you wouldn't throw that stupid dream away!"

"And you decided that stopping our friendship was the best choice?!"

"I was stupid, alright?!" Now Izuku was really surprised. "We were five at that time!" Shouted Bakugou, looking away. But then he turned to stare right into Izuku's eyes "And your father's call did not fucking help at all!"

"You know exactly why he made that call!"

"I know! I had years to think about it! But do you even know what he told me?!"

"And what did he say, exactly?!"

Midoriya exhaled deeply and tried to calm down a bit. He never actually heard what his father told to Bakugou that scared him away. Or…he thought scared him away.

Bakugou's gaze never left Izuku's eyes.

"If you ever land a hand on my son again – you can forget about becoming a hero"

Izuku's eyes slightly widened. But only for an instance.

"Quite reasonable words of a worried parent" Said Izuku in his father's defense.

"You still don't get what I try to say, do you? His words only steeled my thoughts that you were too fragile for this!" Said Bakugou, but after this tried to calm down a bit. Izuku wasn't sure what to say about it.

"I'll make you my…my sidekick, yea!" Shouted little Bakugou, looking away. He couldn't look at Izuku.

"Woa~, can't wait to get my quirk, so I can help you fight villains!" Exclaimed Izuku with stars in his eyes.

Red eyes were looking into emerald ones, as both teens stood in a middle of a street.

"I'm not a flower, Bakugou." Finally said Izuku. "You asked me to explain, but interrupted while I tried to do it. I've been an enforcer for nine months, and was trained for ten years to become one. I'm more than fit for the work."

"You better not fucking die, then"

Izuku frowned. People tried to kill him more than once…but got the bullet themselves. But he will not talk with Bakugou about it. Not now, at least. He was not sure if he could talk about it with anyone not from the Commission.

"Get your ass moving, it's getting dark" Said Bakugou, and started going.

"I'll go with you only if you admit you were wrong" Said Izuku trying to smirk, crossing his arms. Katsuki stopped.

"What did you say?" growled Bakugou, turning around. Izuku's smirk did not falter. Now he understood why Emiya was annoying him so much. It felt nice to finally try it himself.

"Please, I've seen shit far scarier than you. Your intimidation is not working."

"You…"

"I'm waiting."

"No, I was not wrong, damn it! You weren't fit to become a hero"

"Yes, that I know. About another thing."

"What thing?"

"Try guessing."

"Fuck no" Said Bakugou, turning away.

"That's not how this is supposed to work." Grumbled Midoriya. "Well, am I still someone to shoo away because I 'wouldn't throw away my dream' and all that…that?"

Bakugou stopped again.

"You are still upset that I stopped talking to you?"

"See, you can if you want to."

"Urgh…" Bakugou growled out. He stopped and didn't turn to the operative "Shit…iwsrng"

"What?"

"…IWSrng!"

"Bakugou, I don't have a hearing related quirk."

"I was fucking wrong, allright?!" Shouted Bakugou shaking, turning a furious gaze on the young representative "Here, glad now, dipshit?!"

Izuku laughed a bit and started going. That was the answer.

"Maybe…this can work, after all" He thought.

"So, what was that in the classroom?" Asked Izuku, somewhat in line with Bakugou.

"Huh?"

"'Why would I listen to a quirkless' something"

Bakugou didn't turn to him as they walked down the street.

"I could care less whether you had a quirk or not. I won't listen to orders, especially not someone our age"

"So 'quirkless' was the only insult you could find, Kacchan?"

"I said the first thing that came to my mind. And if you call me Kacchan in front of the class, I will kill you. Doesn't matter if you are from Commission or whatever. Same goes to embarrassing me."

"Well, if you call me "dipshit" in front of others, I'll make sure the school sends you to a therapist. Don't forget that I'm your superior in UA."

"Then how should I call you?"

"Try Midoriya"

"Lame"

"Midoriya-sensei?"

"You are not a teacher, dipshit"

"My personal advisor, Midoriya Izuku?"

"I won't use this shit you proposed in the classroom"

"My holy salvation, Midoriya Izuku?"

"Where the fuck that came from?"

"Hm…maybe because I saved you from the Sludge Villain?"

Bakugou stopped with wide eyes and his mouth agape.

"You didn't"

"Oh, but I did. I still remember your scared face when-"

"Shut up!"

Katsuki was done being surprised with things for one day.

No, he will not ask. Well, maybe he did save him, Katsuki couldn't prove the opposite. And it doesn't matter how he did it. It doesn't fucking matter.

It doesn't-

"How did you do that?" he asked, quietly.

"I used my quirk."

"What?"

Now Katsuki was really done being surprised.

Midoriya smirked at the surprised expression. He took his pistol from the holder and spun it in his hand.

"This. I train with it, work on it, and it helps me fight villains and save people. Sounds a lot like a quirk, doesn't it?"

"Stop your stupid analogies and tell me"

Izuku sighed.

"Well, I used the sniper rifle. Me and my father started working on this when I was nine and…"

Two teens continued discussing usage of explosions on their way home.


Ground Beta, 9:51 AM.

Izuku was nervous…again. It was the first time he was in somewhat teacher position. Well…as close as it could get.

It was time for the first Hero lesson for class 1-A and Izuku, of course, decided to participate. It was a battle test, and the students will be using their quirks against people for the first time.

To keep notes on their progress, Izuku knew he should see everything as close as possible. He will also need to attend 1-B's lesson as well in an hour and half.

He needed to look at the students in action for any possible calculation.

Everything shall be noted, starting with their costumes and ending with their comments between the matches. Of course, his biggest priority among 1-A were Shinsou, Yaoyorozu, Jirou and maybe Mina. He still did not know if she was interested in additional training.

The person standing next to him did not help with calming the young representative.

"Nervous?" Asked Allmight, who was about to begin his first lesson.

Midoriya nodded.

"Me too"

They both stood in a fake city, awaiting 1-A in their costumes.

"So, uhm…what's the plan for the lesson?" Asked Midoriya.

"Battle training inside a building. Uh…" Midoriya glanced at number one hero taking out his notes. "Villains hide and protect the weapon, and heroes look for it. If heroes find the weapon or catch the villains - they win. If villains protect the weapon long enough or catch the heroes – then they win."

"Hm, I-I got the idea. Will they work in pairs? I think that any more than this, and students will get overwhelmed." Asked Midoriya, rubbing his chin.

"Ha! You are getting it quite fast, young Midoriya!" Shouted Allmight, slapping Izuku's back slightly. "Yes, they will work in pairs. They will draw lots, since you can't always choose who to team up. For example, during emergencies!"

Izuku smiled at number one hero.

"Well…not in our case. When I was choosing heroes for operations, the first thing to consider was the task the hero should complete. But if heroes were going to work together, we must also made sure that they can work together. I hope this won't be a problem today."

"Hm. Young Midoriya, you've been studying students' profiles quite a lot, am I right?"

"Yes. W-Why do you ask, Allmight?"

The hero looked at the entrance, and then at his watch.

"Will you notice if there's a group that can't work, based on their quirks?"

"Of course."

"Then how about you take a support role during the class? If there's something you think should be somewhat changed, tell me. I think some adjustments won't hurt."

Izuku looked at Allmight with wide eyes.

"Y-you want me to-"

"Wait" Suddenly interrupted him Allmight. "They are coming. And yes, tell me anything you think we should change."

Allmight made a few steps and put his hands on his hips. One by one more students were getting to the fake city.

"They say looks create the hero" Said Allmight with a smile to the arriving students "From this moment, all of you are heroes!"


"Hey, look, it's Midoriya-san!" Said Mina to her classmates that were going with her. Momo and Jirou looked ahead and noticed him as well.

"Who?" Asked Tooru.

"Isn't that the boy from yesterday?" Uraraka asked, still a bit embarrassed about her skintight suit. She glanced at Momo…and felt a few of her worries leaving her.

"You're right. But what is he doing here, kero?" Asked Tsuyu.

"Who cares?" Mina was a bit too excited about it for Momo's liking. "Don't know about you, but I want his professional opinion on my costume!"

Momo narrowed her eyes slightly. Thanks to the time she spent with Izuku, even she could find a few problems in Mina's costume. She glanced at herself and nodded. Considering her quirk, he will find Momo's more practical.

"Why are you so excited about it?" She asked her horned classmate.

"Why do you…ah" Mina smiled mischievously at Momo "I guess you didn't experience his…'gaze', did you?"

Momo quirked her eyebrow at this.

"What gaze?"

"No time to explain, just watch!" Replied Mina, running ahead.


"Midoriya-san!" Greeted Mina, approaching Izuku. Allmight was talking with a few of the students, before the rest arrives.

"Ashido-san" Acknowledged Izuku.

"What do you think of this costume?" She asked, turning around. "You tried to predict how far I can go, but it was such a long time ago! Maybe you can do this again now that I have my costume?"

"By 'maybe I can' you mean that you want me to?" Asked Izuku, inspecting the costume.

"Yep!"

Izuku sighed a smile.

"Okay…hm."

Izuku's gaze lost his emotions as he was looking at Ashido, and he put hand to his chin in thoughts. Momo and others approached with interest.

'Is that what Ashido-san was talking about?' Wondered Momo. She was not sure if she could stand with a straight face while being inspected like this.

"The color palette works quite nicely with your skin. I think using purple color only as dots on your costume was right decision. In addition to this, skintight costumes attract a lot of attention, so it will definitely help with ratings in the future. Using your beaty always works. Not using heels is correct in your case, since you can slide with your quirk – at least I think I remember you doing it in practical exams."

Mina felt proud at herself. She spent so much time designing it, after all!

"But…" Mina widened her eyes just slightly, not expecting anything else. "I'm not sure about your mask…" Mina breathed out. It didn't sound like a major problem.

"In addition to this…" Continued Izuku.

"Oh, come on!"

"You said that you can create acid from your whole body, but at the same time you have a lot of your skin closed. If your costume lets the acid go through, this is not a problem. I'm not saying you should expose yourself – your costumes provide protection…But costumes shouldn't make it harder for you to use your quirks. Also, I don't see any support gear. This is fine for now, tests like the one you are having today will help you find your weaknesses. When you know where you lack, you can compensate with support gear. My predictions did not change, though. I think you can get into top two thousand of hero ratings right after your debut. Are you satisfied, Ashido-san?"

Izuku glanced up at was met with two wide black eyes staring at him with a slight shock.

"Um…yeah. V-very informative. Thanks"

"I'm next!" Suddenly announced Momo, breaking her own surprised expression. Izuku finally gave her and her costume full attention…and started coughing.

Momo smirked at the first expression.

"*cough* cough* …a cape *cough*" Managed to slip through his coughs.

"Everyone, come here!" Announced Allmight when the last student, Mineta, got into view. When he said in his costume description that everything, minus cool cape, was up to the costume manufacturer, he did not expect THIS.

Momo pointed her finger at Izuku.

"As I said before, you are not running away from me. I will find you after the lesson, Midoriya-san" she said with confidence this time. "You can prepare your analysis in advance."

"Of course"

As she left, another voice was heard behind Izuku. Though, the operative wasn't startled since he heard someone coming from behind.

"Can you make an analysis on my costume as well?" Said Shinsou with his mask down.

Izuku half-turned to him.

"After the lessons. You heard Allmight, go and listen to the briefing"


"Todoroki, you only use ice, am I correct?" Asked Izuku in the room, filled with screens from different cameras. Two groups of students – Koda and Sado against Kirishima and Sero – already left to fight.

"Huh?" Face of usually stoic teen a bit angered "Yes."

"Okay" Izuku turned to the rest of the students. Teaming him up with Asui will not work. Izuku approached Allmight.

"Is everything fine, young Midoriya?" He asked.

"Asui is not compatible with Todoroki. He only uses ice, and it hinders her body, from what I know."

Allmight hummed for a moment. He looked at the students, but struggled to remember all their names. He turned to Izuku again.

"Then switch her with someone. But make sure they won't complement each other too much."

Izuku nodded and turned to the class.

"Asui-san, Shouji-san, switch teams!" Izuku turned to Allmight "Can I make one more replacement?"

"I'll trust your judgement, young Midoriya" He said, looking at the screen. He looked at his watch again. Sado fought quite intensively with Kirishima, while Sero was quickly getting to the weapon's location.

"Excuse me!" Shouted Iida. "Wasn't the whole purpose of us drawing lots to simulate a situation close to real? So we could adjust to other heroes, whose quirks might not combine well?"

"That's right. However, this is your first real lesson. We need all of you to get some experience from this. So, I'm-I mean Allmight and I are making sure you at least can work together."

"Thank you!"

"By the way, another switch!" Announced Midoriya.

Izuku looked at clearly uncomfortable Momo, who was paired with Mineta. Izuku glanced at the rest of the class.

"Kaminari-san, change teams with Yaoyorozu-san"

"WHY?!" Shouted one midget.

Yaoyorozu smiled at him with a sigh, feeling somewhat relieved.

'Thank you' she mouthed.

"It is possible that Jirou-san might be sensitive to Kaminari-san's electricity. We are not taking chances right now."

Izuku nodded to himself. That should work as an excuse.


Damn.

HPSC representative was currently watching Todoroki destroy his opponents, freezing the building. Maybe replacing Asui with Shouji wasn't necessary. The match ended…a bit too fast.

Midoriya frowned. That was exactly what he wanted to evade.

He…had an idea. He checked the time on his watch. Thanks to Sero getting to the weapon quickly and Todoroki finishing his fight in an instance, they had time.

He approached Allmight and asked him about his idea. The hero slapped him on his back again with a laugh, agreeing completely.

"Just find the fourth member."


Shinsou Hitoshi & Bakugou Katsuki (Villains) vs. Uraraka Ochako & Iida Tenya (Heroes)


"Villain, huh" Shinsou frowned, curling his palm into fist. He decided against wearing his mask. It might be a good instrument to him, but his greatest strength right now was their ignorance. His class did not know his quirk, and they did not know what his mask does. It would do him no good to waste both of his secrets out at once.

He glanced at Bakugou approaching him.

"You, Purple hair, don't interfere. I'll deal with them myself!"

Shinsou looked at the explosive teen with annoyed expression.

"Haven't you heard what Midoriya-san said in the room?"

"I don't care!"


"What are we going to do with Bakugou-san?" Asked Uraraka, somewhat anxious about meeting such a scary opponent.

"At the physical assessment test, I haven't used my full speed, Uraraka-san" Said Iida, putting a hand to his chin. "I hope we can surprise him with my speed. I will start fighting him, and you will use your quirk on him while he is distracted. That is, if he comes at us alone."

Ochaco scratched her head.

"Will it even work on him? Can't he just use explosions to move through air?"

Iida looked surprised and turned to the building.

"I didn't think of that…my apologies! Then I think you should slip through while I distract him! Our second opponent doesn't have a quirk that enhances his body, so I think your quirk will work just fine against him"


Izuku grinned at Iida's words. The plan was good enough, but the young hero missed one thing.

The one that Izuku is specialized in.

Information gathering.

They did not know Shinsou's quirk, and thanks to that they will fail. Todoroki too did not show any abilities during the physical test. Yet, he was the one to finish his test in seconds.

"Why do they want to separate when they don't know Shinsou's abilities?" Asked Momo, approaching him. She crossed her arms, standing next to him. "I think their plan is quite lacking."

Izuku smiled at her attempt at analysis.

"No" He disagreed. "The plan is good enough. Everyone before them separated as well, minus Todoroki's team, and it worked fine. Bakugou is hard to fight against, and, most likely, he could take them both at once. Honestly, if there was anyone but Shinsou or Todoroki, the plan would work."

"I understand why you mentioned Todoroki-san here, but why are you so confident about Shinsou?"

"Because I know his quirk" said Izuku, running his hand through his hair. "Just watch, Yaoyorozu-san"


Judging from all the explosions, Uraraka's teammate was holding quite nicely. She was quietly moving through the building, expecting an ambush from the second 'villain'.

However, heels did not exactly help with stealth.

"I know you are there, Uraraka-san" Said the calm voice of the purple-haired student.

"Here, watch!" One could see stars in Izuku's eyes as he was pointing at the screen to Momo.

"Oh, I was just-"

Her mind went blank. She couldn't move, drawing confusion from everyone watching the match.

"Now, stand still while I put the cuffs on you" Added Shinsou, feeling anxious about using his quirk in front of people. On his classmate, even.

"What's going on?" Asked Momo.

"That is, my dear student, is what I want to nurture into a great underground hero" Answered Izuku.

"D-dear student?"

"Uh, eh, I-I mean, I did train you, didn't I?"

Once restrained, Uraraka woke up again.

She looked around, trying to move, but nothing worked.

"Eh? What happened?" She thought with slight panic.

"Sorry for this, Uraraka-san" Said Shinsou, running away.

"Sorry for what?!" Damn it, she couldn't remember anything! Did he hit her so hard or what?

As Shinsou was running downstairs, he was considering his options. Now was a good time to use his voice-changing mask, but he will leave it for another time. Iida still did not know his quirk, so it wasn't required.

When he reached his destination, he noticed one panting Iida that couldn't continue, and Bakugou standing over him.

"I…will not give up, because I'm a hero. And a hero never loses!" shouted Iida, barely getting on his legs.

'He really got into the role' Mused Shinsou.

"Just fucking stay on the ground!" Growled Bakugou.

"Never….a hero will not…"

Bakugou decided he was done with the armored student and shoved him to the ground, before putting restraints on him. There was way too much time left, and Iida was surely not giving up.

"You let one through." Said Shinsou, approaching.

"Villain team wins!" Shouted Allmight from the speakers.

"So what?"

"How would I protect the weapon if you told me not to interfere?"

"Shut up"


Sullen looking Uraraka, along with Katsuki and Shinsou, returned to the briefing room. Iida was sent to Recovery Girl.

Shinsou was particularly anxious about the possible reaction from other students. Still, with Midoriya there, Shinsou could get at least someone supporting him.

At least, he hoped so.

"Woah, and here are the winners!" Shouted Kaminari, greeting the pair. He threw one hand over Shinsou's shoulder. "What was that? You just ended this in a moment! Was that your quirk?..."

"…or maybe just your natural charm?" He added this part quietly.

Bakugou looked at them with a raised eyebrow.

Shinsou, a bit uncomfortable, knew that this gesture from the blonde was a sign of friendship. He decided against distancing from his classmate.

To hell with it. All cards on the table.

"Yes, it was my quirk. Brainwash." He answered.

"Damn, it can work so nicely in a lot of situations!" Shinsou was surprised at those words, but then slightly smiled at the comment. "Just don't use it on me, okay?"

"Will you use your quirk on me?"

"Nah, why would I?"

"Why would I, then?"

Kaminari slapped Shinsou's back slightly.

"Good point, actually. Oh, they are discussing an MVP of the match, let's listen to them!"

"…Since he stayed to guard the bomb, and used an element of surprise since he kept his quirk hidden until now. It shows a strategy mind, with him using the available resources at the right moment. At the same time, Bakugou-san left his teammate without any plan, and Iida-san and Uraraka-san didn't plan their actions taking into consideration the secret of Shinsou-san's quirk. Then needed to proceed with much more caution." Said Momo.

Izuku and Allmight felt sweet rolling down their head.

"She didn't leave me anything to say" Thought both of the UA staff.

Shinsou was speechless. After failing the exam, getting the last place in physical assessment, for the first time he felt…so nicely about something.

"A bit too harsh" Said Midoriya. "But, it is also true. Uraraka-san, rest for now. You will have one more fight today"

"Eh?" Suddenly Uraraka's eyes were alive again. "Why? Who? Where?"

"We will mix you again. Shouji and Tooru as villains, and you, Uraraka-san, with Ojirou as heroes"

"B-but why?"

"You four didn't really do anything by now." Said Izuku, getting a wince from everyone he mentioned. "This is not your fault. You are only getting to know each other on the battlefield. I-…I mean we are giving you one more chance."

"Am I even needed here?" Questioned Allmight in his head.


Jirou Kyouka & Momo Yaoyorozu (Villains) vs. Mina Ashido & Yuga Aoyama (Heroes)


"This is perfect" muttered Momo, turning to Kyoka. "I'm much better at defense…I think."

"Well, I'm not" Said Kyoka, as she and Yaoyorozu were moving the bomb to higher floors "I could use my jacks to locate the weapon, but I don't know how we could use it in defense."

"Well, I…I think I have an idea in mind"

"Hm?"

"We need to set traps, and for the biggest accuracy we can manually activate them. Your quirk would be the key in this scenario."

"Traps?" Asked Jirou "As if…tripwires?"

Momo stopped for a moment. She forgot one thing.

"Can I even legally use Midnight's gas? Did we prolong the contract with her?!"

Oh…whatever. She will apologize and talk with her teacher about future uses of her sleeping gas. It was way to good to have it in arsenal.

"Yes. I know how grenades work…" She noticed Kyouka's eyes widened "No-no-no, I'm not using explosives. I can make grenades with sleeping gas."

She was the one who made the sedative ammunition for Izuku, after all.

"You sure they won't just run away from it?"

"No, it's very strong, and it will either stall them, or hinder them. Wait…"

They put the weapon down at the highest floor. Izuku was right when he talked about information gathering.

Everything counted, not just the quirks of their enemies. Momo's eyes shined with confidence once more.

"Jirou-san, your quirk allows you to translate the sound of your heartbeat through your jacks, right?"

"Yeah, but didn't you already know it?"

"Can you destroy the floor with it?"

"…I think I can. Though it will be quite hard. I think I will have to use it maybe 2-3 times at once."

"That's good enough."

Yes, everything counted. Not just the quirks, but also the surroundings. After Bakugou's fight the building was changed. The floor was clear, setting the traps will only work on the staircase.

But…directly under the staircase there was a room. Momo turned to Jirou.

"I have a plan."


"BEGIN"

At those words, Mina slid into the building, spinning and spraying her acid in every way.

"Hey! No one is here!" She exclaimed, looking around and then waving for Aoyama to enter.

"If Yaoyorozu-san had any traps on the first floor, they would be destroyed by now" said Midoriya to Allmight. "A good move, in my opinion."

"She decided to surprise the enemy. It is mostly done by the defense, not offense. Though, it was quite irrational to jump into any building like that" Allmight added, putting down the notes.

"Let's go!"

It was quite hard for Aoyama to run with all this armor, but he didn't care. Even he understood that giving more time to his opponents will make their defense stronger.

They both got to the stairs, but Mina was much ahead of him. At this rate, she won't give him a moment to shine.


"Not now…"

Only one pair of footsteps reached the end of the stairs. The second opponent was much slower.

Kyouka was leaning close to the ground, with her jacks inserted into floor.

"NOW!"

She channeled the sound for the first time, damaging the floor, and used it again and then the third time to destroy the floor.


"Woah!" Stumbled Mina as the floor began cracking.

"What is-" Started Aoyama in panic.

Then, the second and third waves approached, breaking the floor. They both began falling, but luckily barely had any injures at the landing. They were in an empty room. As they landed, purple smoke began appearing from everywhere.

They both quickly recognized that the smoke was not something to inhale, attempted to get to the door from the room.

It was not opening!

"Aoyama!" Shouted Mina. Using acid on the door will take too much time.

They were already inhaling the gas when Aoyama tried to destroy the door with his laser.

The door was destroyed…or so they thought.

Because the laser was reflected.

"It's not working!"

Izuku grinned. Not only the villain team barricade the door, but they also used mirrors to negate Aoyama's quirk.

Midoriya's gaze turned to the room with Momo and Kyouka, and both of them had a shield with a mirror.

"I would say it was a lucky guess, but Aoyama did have a lens on his costume. That gave his disadvantage away."

Mina tried using her quirk to melt away the mirror in one final attempt, before she and Aoyama fell on the ground.

"Villain team WIIINS"


"Good job everyone" Said Allmight, looking at the students. Izuku noted that, for some reason, the number one hero was slightly disappointed. The young representative put that idea away. "And don't let the defeat break your confidence! This is only the beginning!"

"Agreed" Izuku nodded. "Also, before you go, anyone who wants to train their quirks after classes? Raise your hands"

Yaoyorozu raised her hand first. But then, she noticed that Jirou, Kirishima, Shinsou, Uraraka, now present Iida in school uniform and Kaminari also raised their hands.

"Whoa" Midoriya's eyes widened. "I guess the training room will not work, then. I'll arrange another place." He said, adjusting his tie.

"Hm…the support faculty haven't got them their spare costumes."

"You will be staying quite late, so make sure to have a good lunch. Now, hurry to not be late to the next classes" Said the representative.

As everyone began leaving, Izuku took out his phone.

He was about to call when someone poked his shoulder. It was Momo.

"Didn't you promise me something?"

Izuku sighed in his head.

Playing dense was getting harder and harder with her.

"About the costume?"

She put hands on her hips with a small smile.

"Well?"

Izuku inhaled deeply and then his gaze became much more calculative than usual. She saw that look many times by now…but being so intensively inspected by Izuku was…she wasn't saying that word. Nope.

"The color pallet is bright and noticeable, white works with most colors. Red color brings attention, which will help you through your ratings. It shows a lot of your skin, which is both a good thing for your quirk and your ratings (again), but also you will have to rely only on yourself when it comes to protection. But, as I said earlier, using your beaty always works."

His gaze went lower. Momo was starting to doubt her decision.

"Hm. Belt is beige in color. White would work better, since you already have white lines. Heels are good. Not too high, not too small, and are quite thick. Won't hinder much. What do you have in your belt?"

"R-ration bars"

Izuku nodded.

"Good. Overall, your quirk is very universal, and a lot of things can work with it. Again, don't expect Mt. Lady speed in hero ratings, but you will get through them much faster than most of your class."

Izuku dropped his calculative gaze and noticed Momo blushing quite hard from the thorough examination.

'Play dense play dense play dense play dense' He repeated in his head.

Izuku was not ignorant to the attention he was getting from Yaoyorozu heiress. But he couldn't bring himself to answer it properly.

"With you, this won't work" Somehow, Emiya's words were usable in a lot of situations in his life.

"Can I ask why?"

"Huh? Ah, well – don't tell them I said that – but I find a lot of quirks in your class quite unimpressive. You will progress much faster than most"

Momo's eyes widened. Izuku waved his hands to stop her before she said anything.

"Some of you will get into top 50 at one point, I'm sure of it. That is by itself is a miracle, and yet I see some of you getting to that point. This is higher than all of your teachers, minus Allmight...But most won't get to that."

Momo sighed.

"I guess that's just the way it is."

"Please, don't take my words as a fact. That's just my opinion."

"Aren't you the quirk expert here?"

"I-uhm…hey, are you even trying to defend your classmates?"

"I-I…"

They both stood silent for a moment.

"…When did you get other scars?" Asked Momo quietly, changing the topic. "On your hands"

"Those…" Izuku rubbed his arm. "I continued participating in battle operations one week after I got into UA staff, and stopped right before the entrance exam."

"Why?.."

"I'm still an enforcer, Yaoyorozu-san, even when I'm a representative. Your teachers do your hero works while teaching you, so do I have my other work sometimes."

"Then what about you saying that we are your job?"

"You are. I haven't participated in any operation since the entrance exam. There was a lot of work even in UA"

And that was true. He had to look through all the students and the recordings of their license exams, which meant every Momo's upperclassmen.

"…But I can't say I won't participate in them during the year."

Momo rubbed her hand with a frown. She looked into his eyes, and noticed that they were soft, and yet firm. Filled with confidence in what he said and did. And she, once more, felt this confidence getting into her as well.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, Yaoyorozu-san"

She breathed in.

"We, students, are your job. Right?"

"Well, yes."

"And that means that I am also your job, right?"

Izuku understood where she was getting with that. He ran his hand through his green hair.

"Yes."

"Then I expect you to visit this Saturday." When Izuku was about to say something, she stopped him. "And no buts. This. Saturday."

Izuku sighed with a smile.

"Yes, ma'am"

Allmight was reading through his notes, stealing glances at the pair.

"Teens these days."


Izuku finally got a moment to get his phone, and called the vice-president of HPSC.

He really could buy a house if he sold his phone.

"Midoriya-kun? Did you want something?"

"Yes, Mera-san. Can I rent the Stadium for Hero License exams?"


Ground Beta, 11:31 AM.

"Are you going to say it again?" Izuku turned to Allmight.

"Hm? What are you talking about, young Midoriya?"

" 'Looks create a hero, from now on you are heroes' "

Allmight hummed and then coughed. That didn't evade Izuku's attention.

"You think students will find it lame that I used the same phrase for both classes?"

The representative smiled.

"I don't think so. You are Allmight…and, well, the phrase was quite cool."

"Well then…"

Class 1-B Was approaching. Allmight coughed again before greeting the class.

"They say looks create the hero. From this moment, all of you are heroes!"


This was...astonishing. This student. This quirk.

Izuku was barely holding a crazed laugh as he was watching the fight with Kuroiro.

The HPSC representative couldn't even keep his breathing steady.

'It's a shame he passed the practical exam. He would be a perfect addition to HPSC.'

Anyway, this particular student will be working quite a lot with the Hero Commission in the future. If he fails at getting a license, Izuku will make sure HPSC gives him a personal one.

"Excuse me" Said a soft voice behind him. Izuku was so glued to the screen that he actually didn't hear anyone approaching.

He turned to the student that happened to be Ibara Shiozaki.

"You are Midoriya Izuku-san from the opening ceremony, am I right?"

Izuku straightened and adjusted his tie.

"Yes, that's me. I am the representative from HPSC. You wanted something, Shiozaki-san?"

She was a bit surprised that he knew her name.

"Yes. You were talking about help with interning. I know it is too early to speak about it, but…I just wanted to ask in advance. Is it possible to arrange an internship with the Priest hero, Kotomine?"

Izuku felt shivers going down his spine.

"…Yorokobe, shounen"

"Ah…no-no, I mean – no, sorry he is not really available in that program"

"Ah, my apologies, then. Thank you."

Izuku was looking at her as she returned to the class.

He couldn't just tell her that he and Emiya actually killed the priest hero. He turned out to be a psycho with a basement full of…

Another shiver went down Izuku's spine. It was the only time Midoriya really wanted someone to receive a bullet.


"Good work, everyone. Now, if any of you want to get additional training with your quirks, feel free to ask our representative of Hero Commission" Said Allmight, nodding to Izuku.

"Yes, the first training is today, after the classes. Anyone willing to participate? Raise your hands."

Tetsutetsu, Kendou, Honenuki and Setsuna raised their hands.

Izuku looked at Monoma with a raised eyebrow.

The student sighed and raised his hand as well.

Izuku smiled, though inwardly he sighed at Kuroiro who didn't express any interest.

"Good. Meet me at 255 after classes. Take your PE uniforms with you"


Midoriya's office, 4:48 PM.

The lessons should be finished by now. However, Izuku's attenion right now was on something else.

"We might need you soon." Said Emiya on the video call from his home.

"What happened?" Asked Izuku, putting down the notes on the students.

"The warp villain. He disappeared."

Midoriya stopped and turned to the screen.

"Isn't that...good? Why would I be needed, then?"

"Well, since they left, we need to fight more. Villains are no longer running away. In addition to this, we are losing track of human dealers. Every recon squad member counts."

Izuku sighed. Loosing track on human dealers?..So someone - most likely All For One - got what he wanted when it came to quirks.

"I understand. Just make sure no notify me beforehand." Answered Midoriya, gathering the documents in a folder.

Emiya nodded.

"I'll warn you one week in advance. Will that work?"

"One week? That's…quite a lot."

"Well, if we have an emergency, get to the HPSC headquarters within an hour and a half."

Midoriya nodded.

"Got it. Can I use the issued armored vehicle in the UA garage?"

"Only during emergencies. Otherwise, ait until you are sixteen"

"But I passed the driving exam"

"Right now, you aren't legally allowed to drive. Since we both are enforcers of the law-

"Shirou, did you make the dinner?!" Said another voice on the video call. It was a female voice.

"Tohs-?! I have to go" Suddenly said Emiya and ended the call.

Midoriya was looking at the screen of his laptop with a raised eyebrow.

"Shirou?.."

That was the first time he heard someone calling Emiya by his first name.

A knock on the door interrupted him.

"Enter"

Monoma and Shinsou entered the room. He could hear other voices from behind the door.

"Ah, you two. Good timing"

"Midoriya-san"

"Greetings."

"Well, let's be quick. Shinsou - you have a good costume with nice defense, but lack any weaponry. I'll arrange a consultation with Power Loader tomorrow. Monoma, your costume will have to be adjusted. You can get quirks by touching someone, but at the same you have gloves. Make sure your coat is easy to remove, and have your shirt sleeveless. Today, we will test your quirks. Shinsou, I have a lab ready for your quirk, we will establish how exactly it affects the brain. Monoma, we will establish how much contact is needed for you to copy a quirk."

Both of them stood with a wide eyes at the unending information coming from the representative. He was in quite a hurry.

"Moving out, team"

As he left the room followed by the pair of his recommended students, he was met with ten more students.

"All of you are here? Good. Let's go, every minute counts"


UA Exteriors, 4:56 PM.

"I thought we were going to train in UA" muttered Jirou to Yaoyorozu as they were walking to the opposite direction of UA's training buildings.

"I too thought so" Said Midoriya, hearing her quite nicely. "But some of you have quirk with large area of effect, and I want to keep track on all of you. In addition to this, I'm quite unfamiliar with how UA's training rooms work. They need Cementos to work, from what I know."

Izuku stopped, his green hair swaying on the gust of wind. He turned to the students.

"Get it, we don't have much time."

Behind Izuku there was a bus.

To where?

"What did I say? We are not wasting time! Come on, come on, on the bus."


As somewhat doubtful students were getting to the mysterious destination, some of them decided to break the silence.

"I'm Kendo Itsuka. From 1-B" Said the red-haired girl, sitting on the opposite side from 1-A.

"I'm Yaoyorozu Momo. From 1-A"

"Kyouka Jirou"

"Setsuna Tokage!"

"My name is Iida Tenya, nice to meet you!"

As everyone greeted and got acquainted with each other, a huge building was getting into view.

Setsuna leaned on the window.

"Wait, is that?...What is that?"

"Some kind of a stadium" Said Kendou, following her gaze.

"Yes" Said Izuku "And for the closest few hours, this is my stadium. I received this from HPSC for the training today."

That got him a few of surprised gasps.

"Damn, UA is the best!" Exclaimed Kaminari,

"Sorry, Kaminari-san, but that's not UA. This is from Hero Commission" Said Izuku.


The staff turned the light on.

It was…like a huge field with different areas. Students could see a zone with mountains, a city, an industrial zone and a flat field. It took the breath from everyone but Izuku.

He turned to the students in their PE forms.

"Honenuki-san, Jirou-san, to the right, over there" He showed them rocky field in the distance. "Your quirks are already strong. We will be increasing your limits."

Both nodded.

"Kaminari-san, you are going to that generator and a battery" Izuku pointed at the equipment he ordered earlier. "You have a similar situations, but your weakness is much harder to ignore."

Denki felt a doubt filling his mind. Why did he agree to this, again?

"Tetsutetsu-san and Kirishima-san, you are going to the left. You will be sparring, mostly, during time intervals."

They both looked at each other with a grin.

"Kendo-san, you are going to the same area as Honenuki-san and Jirou-san. You see those rocks?"

"Uh, yeah?"

"Well, your quirk is very straighforward. But we will have to work with what we have. You will train on them, slow and steady. We are not going to rush it with you. Uraraka-san, you are going with them, as well. We will record how much you can stay at your limit, and then slowly increase the weight of objects affected by your quirk.

The girls looked at Izuku with readiness and clenched their fists.

"Iida-san, you are going to run around the field as much as you can. If you have your brother's Recipro burst, use it as much as you can."

Iida nodded with a firm gaze.

"Yaoyorozu-san, Shinsou-san, Monoma-san, Setsuna-san, you will go with me."

They looked at each other, wondering why they of all people were together.

"Now, I'll walk you to your areas and give the final tips."

Izuku grinned at them like a devil.

"Today, we are testing the limits of your quirks. Good luck to everyone!"


End of chapter 6. A/N A bit lower.


Omake: The quirk doesn't work this way.

The whole building was frozen because of Todoroki's quirk. Shinsou tried to break free, but nothing was working. Ojirou wasn't holding better than him.

At least, he could still could breathe…and talk.

As Todoroki entered the room to get to the weapon, Shinsou tried to use his quirk on the other teen.

"Wait, Todoroki-san"

The teen turned to him.

"Hm?"

His mind went blank. Shinsou greened at face of Endeavor's son that lacked any emotions.

'Nice'

"Now, melt the ice" ordered the purple-haired student.

Todoroki did nothing. Shinsou raised his eyebrow.

"Melt the ice."

Nothing happened.

"Break the ice that holds me"

Now Todoroki moved and punched the ice. When it didn't work, he punched again.

And again, and again until his punches that were barely affecting the ice became a blur.

'…Standing here, I realize...'


Sorry for the lateness again. I finished this chapter after I slept for, like...15 hours, I guess. Woke up at 3 AM, and then went to sleep in 9 AM again. Made the Omake when I was drunk, but it is actually connected to the way Shinsou's quirk works in the series.

The purple haired boy is staying with us for a long time. Establishing his quirk properly is the least I can do for him.

So, once more, if you are interested in something or liked something in particular, leave a comment. I go with the way I planned everything, but it doesn't mean I can't add details on the way. Your comments show me what you are interested in.

So...yeah, the feedback is much appreciated. As are likes and follows. Thanks, everyone!

A peek into the next chapter:

"Base is listening, agent Midoriya"

Izuku installed the scope onto his sniper rifle.

"Send every available enforcer team to my location."
