Disclaimer: I don't think I actually have to do this every chapter, but I need to remind myself that these things are not mine.
An: Here it be. If you are wondering...yes, Izuki is having mental issues(insanity). It's in the description, and it comes with the territory, her being through loads of trauma and -Spoiler Alert- other things in the past that she has not remembered. But just because someone can't remember something, doesn't mean it doesn't effect them. Think of amnesia victims. Many of them still have the same personality even after forgetting things... moving on, enjoy!
Chapter Sixteen: Harrowing Heights
Aizawa was prepped and ready to wear them down to the bone. Just after they'd barely recovered from being broken to pieces and fed a large dose of reality, he stuffed them into rooms with maybe two or three feet distance from door to door. It was a terrible fate for teenagers, well, for the ones who weren't as optimistic as jumping beans.
"It'll be like a sleepover every night!" Cheered Uraraka.
"Yay, this'll be great!" Intoned the other two constantly happy girls, Hagakure and Ashido. None of the guys seemed quite as thrilled, other than Mineta, but he only liked this new situation due to the many oppertunities it might grant him to be a total perv.
Izuki just lugged her small duffel of things up along with everyone else, thinking about the strange scene that had played out in her living room yesterday.
Izuki had returned home late, but luckily, Inko had worked late as well so she needn't find out that her daughter had faced the Herokiller, only to sort-of defeat him when he had a seizure in reaction to her blood, somehow come back to school alive, and to work herself into a Quirk-induced coma.
When Inko did come home, there was Aizawa, tagging along with her so casually anyone looking might've thought he lived there.
"Welcome home, mom." Inko smiled, but her features quickly morphed into a frown. Aizawa waited politely by the door.
"Thank you, sweetie. But what is this I hear about Quirk Exhaustion? You know you're not supposed to work so hard, especially so soon after you came out of dormancy..." Then, in a smaller voice,
"You don't want to cause any accidents, do you?"
Izuki winced, pretending she didn't catch that last part.
"I know, mom...Hitoshi said the same thing..." She grimaced. This was embaressing, Aizawa was standing right there! He didn't need to know about her sort-of boyfriend that sometimes acted just like him. And she knew Inko would most certainly want to talk about it.
"Who's Hitoshi?" Izuki sighed.
"I'll tell you later...why is Aizawa-sensei here?" Thankfully, Aizawa must've been thinking that this conversation was wasting valuable time, so he moved it along.
"I'm here to get your mother's permission to let you live on campus. Due to the recent villain activity, we think it'll be safer if the students lived in dorms." Izuki shivered. Living at Yuuei...she wasn't sure how to feel. On one hand, she'd become closer with her classmates, get to talk to her teachers more easily, and hang out with Hitoshi more often, while on the other she had no idea what being away from home for so long would do to her.
"Absolutely not!" Declared Inko, face set in stone.
"Izuki has only ever gotten hurt while at that school, and imagine what could happen to her if she was there full time! Is there a teacher there who can handle students prone to panic attacks, crowd anxiety, and acute DID?"
"Mom." Izuki had wrapped her arms around her torso. Her mother had just spouted off all her mental issues to the most indifferent teacher, one who took no excuses.
"Actually yes," Responded Aizawa, features impassive. Izuki was glad for once to not know what somebody was thinking.
"Principal Nedzu has a Psychology Phd, and has a traumatic backstory of his own. He's helped many students find themselves in their career." Inko narrowed her gaze.
"Will he be around enough to help?"
"Certainly, although he's busy, he will find time." Inko relaxed.
"Good, then, I suppose she can go."
Izuki had just finished unpacking, and it was late into the night, when everyone suddenly decided to stream into the lobby and chat about nothing in particular. This lead to a dorm-room competition, checking out the inside of everyone's room and judging them based on something. Izuki wasn't entirely sure what that something was, but she did not want anyone inside her room, especially Mineta. Luckily, he was disqualified right off the bat.
Izuki went off alone when everyone was distracted by Sato's delicious baking, and disappeared into her space.
Inside she had a normal bed, with sheets the same purple as Midnight's mask and walls with black galaxy coloring. What she was concerned about though wasn't even the few posters she had of Midnight in her earlier outfits, which although skimpy, weren't truly terrible. No, she was focused on the focal-point of her room. A sort-of copy of Midnight's sexiest costume which she had on her wall. It had been remade to fit Izuki, a present from her mentor to her, and it was horrifying.
Like a Miami swimsuit, it seemed to be constructed of mostly strings. Two of them were criss-crossed over the breast area, just barely providing a cover for her nipples, while the other two swooped around to form protection over her lower areas. Blushing, and disgusted to ever be touching such a thing, Izuki speedily shoved it into her bottom-most drawer, and flopped down onto her bed, just in time for the group to get a look at her room before moving on.
She sighed, exhausted and ready to start studying for the final exam, which would be explained tomorrow. She drifted off into a deep sleep filled with dreams of strange robots, and missing days.
"You'll be fighting your teachers." Started Aizawa, in the same serious, threatening way he did things ever since the beginning of the year.
"What? There's no way we can beat them!" Panicked Kaminari.
"Yeah, there're professional, while we've had less than a year of training." Chimed Tsuyu. Aizawa waited for the gullible members of the class to calm down, before continuing.
"You'll be in pairs of course, the teachers will probably go easy on you, and there are a few options. The first is to beat them, which many of you probably won't be doing. Otherwise you can escape capture and injury for four minutes, or successfully run away without being caught by them." Just as the students were calming down...
"Of course, anyone who fails will be expelled." Izuki sighed, wondering which teacher she'd be facing. Aizawa stepped back to reveal the match-ups, in order, on the blackboard.
Sato + Kirishima Vs. Cementoss
Asui + Tokoyami Vs. Ectoplasm
Yaoyorozu + Ojiro Vs. Power Loader
Aoyama + Iida Vs. Thirteen
Ashido + Kaminari Vs. Nedzu
Jirou + Koda Vs. Present Mic
Hagakure + Shoji Vs. Snipe
Mineta + Sero Vs. Midnight

Uraraka + Todoroki Vs. All Might
An: So... changed it up a bit. I'll briefly cover the fights that were already hashed out in the manga/anime(Cementoss, Ectoplasm, Nedzu, Present Mic, Snipe, Midnight) and speed through the others(Power Loader, Thirteen, All Might) until it gets to Izuki's(Eraser Head). This is more focused on her story than all of 1-A anyway. That's why I haven't d anything from the villain Pov...or have I?
