AN: Hello all it's been a while hasn't it. Hope you've all had a good Christmas and New Year, honestly I can't believe it's already near the end of January! So yes, other than that here we are with the next chapter!

That said I did notice that the last one was a bit divisive, in that some people weren't entirely happy either with Mineta being given the boot, or with the scores that were given. So in regards to that all I can say is that Mineta might be out of the class, but that doesn't necessarily mean I am writing him out of the story. After all I don't mind him that much. Yes, he isn't my favourite character and I do get a bit bored of his whole pervyness and the fact that he is mainly there for comic relief, but that doesn't mean I hate his character.

In regards to the score, all I can say is that in my mind they weren't assessed just based on the result, but on a number of other factors, each of which were weighted so as to make sure someone didn't skate by on just one good result. It's the only reason I can think of for why Deku was bottom of the class in canon. So yeah, I reckon things like tenacity, Quirk usage, adaptability, actual positon in regards to the rest of the class, strategy in terms of pacing and several other things were involved in tallying the results. After all from memory they weren't given a score, but instead a ranking from 1 – 20. But yeah, that's the way I had it in my mind when I wrote the last chapter, so sorry if it disappointed you.

Other than that I hope you enjoy this chapter, and check out my other stories if you have the chance.

Thanks for reading.

(Last Time)

"The rest of you head back to class, Mineta you come with me." Aizawa forged on relentlessly.

Hearing the boy's cries, Izuku looked away and followed the others as the now sombre class headed back to the school.

A part of him had hoped that Aizawa had been lying, that it had been a trick to get them to perform at their best.

Turns out, Aizawa didn't lie.

With the cries of Mineta ringing in their ears, Izuku, no doubt like the rest of the class, couldn't help but accept the grim reality of just how competitive, gruelling and ruthless the next few years at U.A. were going to be.

Chapter 6

(The Next Day)

Entering his classroom at the start of his second day at U.A., the first thing that Izuku noticed as he stepped into the room was that almost the entirety of his class was already present. A lot of them already sitting on or behind their desks, a loud rumble of chatter dominating the room. This being in spite of the fact that the form period wasn't due to start for another twenty or so minutes.

Closing the door quietly behind him, Izuku quickly found himself being waved over to where Toru and Mina were sat, both of them looking up from the conversation that they were currently having with the green haired, Ibara Shiozaki, and the spikey red haired, Kirishima, the moment he entered the room and grinning at him.

Or at least he assumed that was what Toru was doing going off the invisible girl's body language, or should that be clothes language, after all the only thing he could see of her was her school uniform.

Still the two girls, his first real friends his own age, happily waved him over the moment he entered the room, the other two with them sending him smiles too, even as he started heading in their direction.

Giving the group a half wave and a slight smile as he approached, Izuku also quickly found himself being greeted by the other members of his class.

Some of them shouting out to him or waving, whilst others, like Todoroki and Shoji, just gave him curt nods and then went back to the conversation they were having before his arrival. It was an odd feeling for him, Izuku noted, as he smiled at Momo as he passed, for him to be so easily accepted. Especially considering how nervous he had been when he first came to this school.

"Hey Midoriya!" Mina grinned, a bright smile spreading across her pretty, pink face, even as she joyfully slapped him on the back as he took his seat. "You sure took your time getting here, didn't you!?"

"I'm still early." Izuku shrugged, not sure what else to say as he smiled at Toru, and then turned to the other two that he had met, but not yet spoken too properly, noticing as he did so that the green haired girl, Shiozaki, seemed to be watching him, a hint of fascination in her gaze. "Err, hey, I'm Izuku Midoriya."

It was a pretty pointless thing to say, after all they all already knew one another's names, if not because they had already at least introduced themselves to the others, then because all the names of the class had been displayed on the score board at the Quirk Assessment test the other day.

"I know, I'm Ibara Shiozaki." The green eyed girl, Shiozaki, replied a gentle smile on her pale, beautiful face. "I don't think we had the chance to talk the other day."

"Yeah, it was a pretty hectic day." Izuku nodded, shifting in his seat somewhat uncomfortably as Kirishima gave him a greeting next, the loud redhead slapping him on the back as he did so, and extolling the virtues of 'manliness' to him.

Looking around the room at all the chatting teens his own age, Izuku couldn't help but feel a little out of place, even after the enthusiastic way he had been greet. Then again this was part of the norm for him as far as interacting with kids his own age went. He was a bit socially awkward before the incident had happened, and well, ten years in a secure unit had done nothing to normalise him.

"Yeah it was pretty crazy wasn't it, Midoriya, in fact we just talking about what happened!" Toru spoke up enthusiastically, catching Izuku's attention as he looked over at the invisible girl, and nodded his agreement that their first day at U.A. had indeed been pretty wild.

"I still can't believe it. It's only the second day and someone has already been kicked out of the class." Mina nodded, her hand on her cheek as she looked over at the seat Mineta had previously occupied.

"Yeah, poor guy." Kirishima grunted, shaking his head as he did so. "I can't believe Aizawa did that, I mean I thought he was just trying to motivate us. Hell we didn't even get the chance to properly get to know Mineta, and I better he was a pretty sorted guy too!"

"He seemed nice enough," Toru agreed, her tone a little sad now.

"I don't know, he always gave me weird looks." Mina replied her face scrunching up as if she were trying to remember something.

"Yeah, same here. Though with me they were mainly looks of terror." Izuku chipped in, the other four sending him amused looks as they did so.

"Well can you blame him man. He was what, two foot tall, and your Titan form is overt thirty metres!" Kirishima chuckled.

"I don't think that was the reason he was scared." Izuku replied, awkwardly scratching the back of his head as he did so.

"Well whatever, he's gone now and there's nothing we can do to change that. I do agree with you though. Kirishima, it was pretty mean of Mr Aizawa to just kick him out of the course like that!" Mina butted in, her black and gold eyes flicking over to the red head now, Kirishima noticeably smiling awkwardly as he met her gaze.

"It was harsh, but I can see where he came from all the same." Ibara spoke up next, shaking her head sadly as she too looked at Mineta's desk. "Hero work is a dangerous profession, and yet despite that it is also very popular. The competition to be in this class, and at U.A. in general, it is fierce. Just think how many you people took the entrance exams. Honestly I'm not surprised Mr Aizawa removed Mineta from the class, when he didn't meet his expectations. There must be dozens of other suitable candidates who didn't quite make the cut in the General Education and Support classes, all of them waiting to step up and enter the Hero course if a chance arises."

"Yeah but still, it was his first day. Surely it would have been a bit fairer to at least give him a week, and you know some training, before he was cut loose." Kirishima shrugged.

Izuku had to admit, the guy made a good point. Aizawa's actions seemed excessively harsh. That said they certainly provided a motivation for the rest of the class, to make sure they all, always gave it their all. Especially with the threat of potentially being kicked out of the Hero Course now hanging over their heads.

"You would think so, but I'm sure Mr Aizawa had a reason for doing it. Besides it's not like Mineta can't keep training and re-join the class later, you know, once he gets the chance too." Toru said optimistically, her voice noticeably as confident and excitable as it usually was. Apparently the smaller boy's expulsion had somewhat dampened her spirits. "What do you think Midoriya?"

Blinking slightly as he heard his name, Izuku quickly noticed the eyes of the other four on him now.

"I don't know, I think we got kind of lucky that only one person was kicked out." Izuku said after a few seconds of thought, a contemplative look on his face as he remembered back to what he had heard the other day. "After what happened the other day, I heard Yaoyorozu asking some of the older students about Aizawa at lunch time. Apparently a few years ago he expelled an entire class because they didn't meet his expectations."

"An entire class!" Kirishima said loudly, his eyes wide and jaw slack. "That's mad!"

"Yeah, and to be honest I don't blame him." Izuku nodded, very much aware that more than just the four in front of him were listening in now, Kirishima's previous shout having attracted quite a bit of attention from several other of his classmates. "Like Shiozaki said being a hero is dangerous work. You have to go up against Villains and other criminals, and who knows what their Quirks will be. I mean…"

Izuku paused for a moment as he said the last bit, his brow furrowing, before a few seconds later he grit his teeth and continued. "Just look what happened at Mustafa ten years ago, I awakened my Quirk and… well went out of control. A hero has to be able to adapt to things like that happening, and, well, if you're not up to the task of adapting to the unexpected and coming out on top, then it's better to step aside now so you don't get yourself or others hurt."

A silence followed his words as he finished, or at least in the immediate vicinity. Several of the students around him looking very nervous, whilst others looked intensely curious. The attention of at least half the class now on him.

No doubt more than a few desperately wanted to hear what had happened that night from his point of view. Whilst others, those that had seen old news reports or videos on the internet, were equal parts scared and excited. After all, what had happened ten years ago had hit headlines around the world, and was still talked of today.

It was the day the Titan struck, and hundreds of people died.

For all that it was a tragedy, it was still a piece of modern history. A very bloody piece, that scarred an entire distract and thousands of people, but a piece of history all the same.

Honestly, Izuku could understand their fascination, even if he wasn't too keen on going into any of the details. He had also lost someone that night after all, his beloved mother, and his piece of shit father, and had thus been left alone in this world. The last of the previously unknown, and now infamous, Midoriya line.

"Maybe, but I still think Mineta should have been given more of a chance." Kirishima spoke up, breaking through the silence as he did so. "It wasn't exactly that manly to kick him out, not when his Quirk wasn't as suited to those tests as others were."

"Well you could say the same thing about the combat portion of the Entrance Exam. It was weighted in the favour of those with offensive Quirks." Shiozaki replied.

"I don't know, I did pretty well and I don't have an offensive Quirk." Toru piped up. Her arm raised and her hand no doubt cupping her face as she turned to face Shiozaki.

"But that's because the robots couldn't see you, Toru, so you could walk around and switch them off." Mina laughed, throwing her arm around Toru as she did so and pulling the invisible girl closer as she gave her a half hug.

"So," Izuku said, looking around the classroom again as he did so, his green eyes scanning the other fourteen students in the room as he tried to find a new face. "Who do you think Aizawa will be bringing in to replace Mineta?"

"No idea, I'm guessing someone from the support course." Mina shrugged, releasing Toru now as she looked over at him.

"Ooo, I wonder whether it'll be a guy or a girl, and what their quirk might be!?" Toru gushed excitedly, the others all pitching in with their own ideas now about who the newcomer might be, and what they might be able to do.

T the rest of the conversation quickly devolving into discussing who Mineta's replacement could be. With serval other classmates migrating over to where their group was sat, as the discussion quickly moved onto the second day, and to the upcoming combat class that they had in the afternoon.

( - )

"Settle down and be quiet," Aizawa's voice rang out a few minutes later, the door opening as the tired looking man entered the room, this time thankfully not wrapped up in his sleeping bag. "And get to your seats."

Rapidly quieting down, the assembled students of Class 1A quickly did as they were bid and took their seats, a sudden excited, nervous quiet descending upon the room as they did so. The memory of the dark haired teacher leading a crying purple haired boy away still in all their memories, as Aizawa strode into the now uncomfortably silent room.

"Right," Aizawa continued to say as he took a seat behind his desk, his stoic gaze roving over the rest of the class as he did so, before he glanced sideways and over at the door. "You can come in now."

Frowning slightly at the teacher's words, Izuku's gaze, like that of the rest of the class, quickly snapped over to the door to the classroom, even as another person walked in.

This one noticeably around their own age, and wearing the familiar, grey U.A. school uniform.

Cocking an eyebrow at the sight of the girl, Izuku watched as the stoic looking teen came to a stop next to Aizawa's desk, after which she then turned to face the rest of the class. His green eyes roving up and down her, as he took in her thin form, her average height, her shoulder length black hair that had been tied up in two ponytails at the back of her head, and her generally plain looking appearance.

This, Izuku assumed, must be the new student.

"Everyone this is Chikuchi Togeike, formally from the General Studies class. As the student that scored forty first in the Hero Studies Entrance Exam, she is the one that I have chosen to replace Minoru Mineta in the Hero Course, please make her feel welcome." Aizawa drawled, the expression on his face as bored as ever as he gestured towards the dark haired girl, non-verbally prompting the girl to introduce herself to her new class.

"I'm pleased to meet you, and I hope to get to know you all well in the future." Togeike said after a moment of silence, with the dark haired girl giving a slight bow to the class, her expression still serious, in spite of the slight nervousness Izuku could hear in her voice as she spoke.

Looking between one another for a moment, the rest of the class were silent for a moment, before, without warning Iida suddenly stood up his hand already waving about in the air as he started to speak.

"Hello Togeike! I am Tenya Iida, please allow me to be the first to welcome you as the newest member of Class 1A!" Iida pretty much shouted, nearly making the girl jump with the suddenness and loudness of his actions. Though noticeably his response had the effect of stirring the rest of the class into action as they all soon started greeting the new girl and welcoming her in their own ways, be it from nods and slight waves, to standing up and verbally welcoming her like Iida.

The entire classroom once again becoming inundated with noise, or at least until Aizawa scowled and told them all to sit down and shut up, the new girl included, for form room. Following on from which their second day of classes soon began.

With the first half of the school day passing by quite slowly for some, as they all diligently worked through a few hours of normal school subjects, each of which were amusingly enough taught by a different Pro Hero. With them working on core subjects like English, Maths and Science. Boring everyday subjects, all of which still had to be learnt and passed if they were to graduate from U.A.

Of course on thing that exasperated matters, and made the day seem to go by even slower, was the class's building excitement over the upcoming combat class, which would be taking place in the afternoon.

( - )

(Later in the afternoon)

Thankfully for most the morning classes did eventually end, and after a brief, rushed lunch, the students of Class 1A were all once again ensconced in their classroom. Each of them patiently, or more often than not impatiently, sitting behind their desks, waiting excitedly for the lesson to begin. A couple of them chatting to one another about what the upcoming class might or might not entail, whilst others just waited in silent anticipation.

That said the excitement for most, probably all save for Izuku himself, wasn't just for the class itself. No, it was also for the teacher who would be leading the class. After all their teacher was going to be a man who was known around the world, one who nearly all Heroes in training looked up to, the world's Symbol of Peace, All Might!

Nearly everyone in the room was excited to see the Symbol of Peace, and be taught by him. Nearly everyone, but Izuku.

Izuku was nowhere near as excited as the others about meeting All Might. In fact he was more nervous than anything, after all this would not be the first time he met the man, but the second, and considering the first time they met he had ended in him trying to kill the Symbol of Peace, even as the Symbol of Peace reduced Izuku's head into a fine, bloody paste.

Suffice to say Izuku wasn't entirely too keen on seeing the man again. Not when he could remember the fury in his glowing blue eyes, and the sound of his voice as he delivered that final blow. Even now, ten years later, Izuku could remember what he had said; the sound of his voice as he roared…

"I AM…"

A loud powerful voice suddenly rang out, making a few of the students flinch, and other lean forward in anticipation. The eyes of everyone in the room all locking on the door, Izuku's hands clenching into fists as he did so...

The door exploding open with a loud slamming noise moments later, to reveal the figure of the Number One Hero in the World, All Might.

"COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"

The voice then added on, taking many of those in the room by surprise as a colossal man stepped through the now open door. The imposing newcomer standing at close to seven feet tall, with huge, broad shoulders, heavily muscled arms, a barrel chest and a massive smile on his face. The famous hero cutting a striking figure as he confidently strode into the room, a long cape flowing behind him and his blonde hair, looking more like two golden horns than anything else, giving him an extra foot of height as he then turned and grinned at the class.

"Whoa, it's really All Might!" One of the student's muttered disbelievingly, their whisper starting the rest of the class off as they all began to murmur excitedly amongst each other.

"And he's wearing his costume from the Silver Age!" Another student, Kaminari, remarked as he recognised the blue, red and gold costume All Might was wearing.

"The design is super retro!" Ochako chipped in enthusiastically.

Ignoring all the chatter, All Might confidently strode across the room, coming to a stop at the front of the class, the large smile still very visible on his face and his hands on his hips as he took up a classic hero stance. "Hello class! This is Foundational Hero Studies! In this class, we'll be building up your foundations as heroes through countless trials! For your first trial, we'll start with this! Combat training!"

A lot of students began shouting and cheering at that, some of them like Kirishima leaping to their feet with their enthusiasm. Izuku though remained quiet, his eyes locked on the imposing man in front of him, a slight shiver of fear and discomfort running through him as All Might glowing blue eyes locked with his.

The two of them for a moment staring at each other. All Might's wide smile becoming strained for a moment as he did so, even as Izuku forced a grimace on his face, fighting through his discomfort as he attempted to put on a confident façade.

Neither of them, Izuku noted, seemed pleased to see the other. In fact, he thought analytically, All Might looked just as tense and uncomfortable to see him, as he did seeing the Number One Hero.

"And because this is going to be your first battle…" All Might continued loudly. His eyes shifting from Izuku now and to the rest of the class, his smile once again becoming more genuine as he pulled out a remote control and pointed it at the far wall. A slight hissing sound soon following his motion, after which several sections of the wall began to slide out. Revealing as it did so, a number of cases, each of which had a students' seat numbers displayed on them. "We've got the costume orders you requested before attending the school! Now everyone get changed and get ready!"

Hearing that there was another loud cheer from the class, before everyone scrambled to their feet as they ran to see what their costumes were like, and whether they looked as good as they'd imagined they would.

The exceptions to this being Izuku, and the new girl, Chikuchi Togeike, both of whom kept their attention on All Might.

"Ahh yes, Togeike," All Might smiled as he saw the girl hadn't moved. "Yes, the design you submitted is still with the designers, and probably won't be ready for a few weeks. So I'm afraid you will just have to stick to wearing you're P.E. kit."

"That's fine All Might, sir." The girl nodded, her serious façade breaking for a moment and her cheeks going bright red as she found herself the sole focus of All Might's attention.

"Good girl," All Might chuckled warmly, his smile widening as he saw the class's excitement, only for it to fade slightly as he looked over at Izuku. "Well what are you waiting for Midoriya, get your costume, you don't want to keep the class waiting do you?"

"No, I don't." Izuku replied quietly, walking passed All Might now, though making sure to keep a distance as he went to grab his own case, with him having an easier time of it now everyone else had already grabbed theirs and headed off to get ready.

( - )

(A few Minutes Later)

Heading to the school changing rooms to get ready, it was around ten or so minutes later that the first students, now clad in their costumes, arrived at the place their combat training would be taking place.

With All Might waiting for them, just at the entrance to one of the replica city districts that the entrance exam had taken place in, a wide smile on his face as he watched the heroes in training arriving on mass, all of them now wearing the costumes they had personally designed.

"They say the clothes make the hero, ladies and gentlemen! Remember this! From now on, you're all heroes!" All Might called out loudly as he saw the students approaching.

In response to that the students continued their approach, checking out both their own costumes and the ones the others around them were wearing as they approached. All of them understanding what All Might had meant as they did so, they truly did feel more heroic now that they were wearing costumes.

"Wow! You all look so cool!" All Might shouted enthusiastically as they came to a halt in front of him, giving them all a big thumbs up as he did so.

Izuku looked around as he heard that, eyeing the costumes of those around him. Noticing, as he did so that Mina had gone for what looked like a skin tight jumpsuit, with green and pink patterns on it and a fur collar, as well as highly durable shoes with holes in the bottom through which she could secrete her acid. It was a costume that looked as bizarre as the girl herself did, not that Izuku, along with probably many of the other guys in the class didn't appreciate how the skin tight costume emphasized her curves.

They maybe heroes in training, but they were also still human dammit!

Tearing his eyes away from Mina, Izuku then looked to Toru, only to go bright red as he saw that her costume consisted of just a pair of gloves and a pair of shoes. His mind going overboard as he realised that that probably mean that she was naked, that or she had gotten her hands on some cutting edge material that worked in the same manner as her Quirk.

Somehow though he doubted it.

As for Izuku himself, originally he'd been a bit stuck for ideas when it came to making his costume. After all his Quirk was strange in that unlike with most other Gigantification Quirks, his didn't increase the size of his body, but instead created a large, flesh and blood body around his own. With his actual body, hidden from view within the nape of the Titan's neck, acting more like a pilot for his larger Titan form. As such that meant that if he were to take on his Titan form then anything he was wearing would be hidden from sight.

That said however he was still able to use a limited amount of his abilities in his base form, about ten percent of what he was capable of in his Titan form.

It was for this reason that Izuku had decided on a rather simplistic costume. One which consisted of a pair of knee high, sturdy, steel toe-capped boots, black slacks, a grey T-shirt and a black parka coat, complete with a grey, fur lined hood. In addition to which he had black, full face mask, complete with a rebreather to protect him from gas attacks, and reinforced lens over the eyeholes to protect his vision. He also had, in the pockets of his coat, a pair of spike knuckledusters, something that could put an extra 'umph' behind his punches.

Utility, that was what he had had in mind when he had drawn up his design with Doctor Nakamura's help. Being flashy, and acquiring himself celebrity status was not he wanted to become a hero. He wasn't in it to be famous, he was doing it to help people and to redeem himself for his past action.

For that reason he had decided on an understated costume, one which put effectiveness over flashiness.

"Hey, you two look good." Izuku said as he walked up alongside the excitedly talking Mina and Toru. The rest of the class just as excited as they compared their costumes, and complimented and questioned one another's tastes.

"I know! This is so exciting isn't it? I mean we get to wear superhero costumes for the first time! How cool is that!?" Mina replied giddily, a bright smile on her face as he turned to Izuku.

"Pretty cool," Izuku replied softly, smiling at the pink girl's enthusiasm, even as Toru wave at him.

"Hey what do you think Midoriya, do you recognise me?!" Toru asked excitedly.

"Yeah, you're costume certainly suits you Hagakure." Izuku replied, his cheeks going slightly pink again as he realised that he was now in close proximity to a naked girl. None of his pre-U.A. training at Asphodel had prepared him for a situation like this.

"Hey what's with your costume by the way, Midoriya, it doesn't look that flashy?" Kirishima suddenly interrupted, the spikey red head approaching in his own costume. His chest bare, revealing his chiselled muscles, and his legs covered up in a pair of baggy, skirt like trousers.

"Yeah I didn't really have any good ideas." Izuku shrugged awkwardly. He didn't want to get into the real reason he had gone for the understated look. Just in case his opinion offended one of the others.

Thankfully, before anymore could be said, the class's attention was drawn to their teacher as he suddenly clapped his hands together.

"Now we are all gathered, let's begin your first class in combat training!" All Might suddenly shouted, clapping his hands together loudly and getting the attention of the entire class as he did so, the man's smile widening more than ever as he looked them all over, his gaze resting on Izuku for a moment, before it flicked away.

"Sir!" One of the students suddenly spoke up. The student in question, who was wearing a set of modern looking, white armour, with exhausts on the calves and a helmet, raising his hand as he did so. With almost everyone immediately recognising the student as Iida the moment he spoke, after all the loud and overly stern boy had already made quite the impression on the majority of the class. "Will we be using the same mock-city from the Entrance Exam for this training?!"

All Might grinned again as he heard that. "Why yes we will! Today's class will however be mostly based around indoor battle training, so you'll be using the buildings in the mock-city! After all, although a lot of villain fights are filmed and witnessed out in the open, statistically though the majority of our work takes place inside, after all the smart criminals tend to act out of sight and in the shadows. With that in mind, for this test, you'll be separated into two man teams of heroes and villain groups, and then you'll duke it out in two on two combat!"

"Wait so we're going to be fighting each other, like properly with our Quirks?" Denki asked loudly his arms crossed in front of him, and his eyes fixed intently on All Might as he waited for an answer. By the sounds of it, he was a bit nervous about fighting against his classmates of two days.

A feeling, Izuku noted, that seemed to be echoed by several other members of the class, himself included.

"How do we determine who wins or loses?" Momo spoke up, the girl in question wearing a revealing red top and short shorts, with a wide belt wrapped around her waist. She having obviously gone for an outfit which not only looked good, but would also aid her in using her Quirk to its fullest.

"We won't get expelled if we fail this time like Mr. Aizawa said, right?" Ochako added on nervously, with the brown haired girl having donned a skin-tight, pink and black jumpsuit as her costume, with a helmet on her head, and some kind of devices on her arms and around her waist.

"Also how should we choose teams?!" Tenya asked again, the boy's mind already no doubt whirling as he probably considered who he should have on his team.

"Just look at my costume, isn't it glorious?" Yuga tagged on his own contribution to the discussions, the blonde in question completely oblivious to everything else as he just twirled on the spot, displaying his overly gaudy and glittery costume to the rest of the class as he did so.

All Might, in response looked completely taken aback for a moment by the sudden onslaught of questions, his composure faltering momentarily before he rallied. "I will answer all of your questions! Now!"

With that said the man then rootled about in his belt before he pulled out a piece of paper, which he then proceeded to read from, as if it were a script. "Now listen up all of you, the scenario for this training is that a pair of villains have a nuclear weapon hidden somewhere in the building! In order to stop them the hero team must infiltrate the building and stop their plans before it's too late! If the heroes capture the villains or the weapon, they win! If the villains keep the heroes away from the weapon until time is up or they capture the heroes, they win! Also keep in mind that the heroes will be given a rope, which if used to bind a villain counts as the villain being captured, and if both villains are captured then the hero team also wins!"

The class all started muttering at that, some of the students no doubt already planning out how they would go about their assignments, depending on what side they were on of course, and who they were paired with.

Others however were already talking to their fellow students, probably trying to recruit them, based on what little they knew of each other's capabilities, in order to make a powerful pair with them.

"As for your teams, well they'll be chosen by a lottery! Now!" All Might then added, interrupting the sudden hubbub, as he derailed all of the students plans with just a single sentence.

"Wait, you'll just chose the pairs at random?!" Kirishima shouted loudly.

"Pro Heroes often have to create makeshift teams with other heroes that they aren't familiar with. There's no way you can prepare for unexpected situations, after all." All Might shot back quickly, coming across as strangely wise as he did so.

Though Izuku suspected that All Might was probably still using that script of his to answer their questions.

All Might upon seeing no further questions then continued, once again taking control of his class. "Anyways, here we go! These are the teams you'll be fighting in today!"

With that said, the man then began reading out names, choosing teams at random as he did so. The man obviously not planning teams around the student's talents, the compatibility of their Quirks or even their strengths and weakness as he instead just read out two names at random and made them a team. With this often leading to some teams being very unbalanced. Still he was the teacher and as such he supposedly knew best…

"Team A: Yuga Aoyama & Mina Ashido!"

"Team B: Izuku Midoriya & Yui Kodai!"

"Team C: Momo Yaoyorozu & Shoto Todoroki!"

"Team D: Denki Kaminari & Ibara Shiozaki!"

"Team E: Mezo Shoji & Ochako Uraraka!"

"Team F: Ejiro Kirishima & Chikuchi Togeike!"

"Team G: Kyoka Jiro & Rikido Sato!"

"Team H: Tsuyu Asui & Fumikage Tokoyami!"

"Team I: Toru Hagakure & Mashirao Ojio!"

"Team J: Tenya Iida & Hanta Sero!"

AN: Right so a few things to cover here. Starting with the new girl, I'll admit I was tempted for Shinso but decided not to, after all I think that there was more likely to be another better candidate in the General Education class than him, one that just missed out on making it into the hero course hence why I used a different canon character from General Education, one that has literally no backstory or personality, but is there regardless. I thought it a better option than a straight OC or Shinso, plus I was originally going to a do a Mikasa- esque rip-off OC, but decided that that wouldn't work as I don't intend on the new girl becoming a main character, and I think that such a character if I did introduce it would become more central than I intend.

Next the fights next chapter, I stopped it at the point I did as I want to get your opinion on what the fight should be, I'll probably only cover one. So feel free to message me or comment your suggestion. All the pairings are completely random, there is no reason or rhyme behind why I put them together. Mainly because I thought it would make things interest.

Finally I have been thinking, and have decided that I might create an account on Spacebattles, and post my My Hero Academia stories on there as well as on FFN. Though this is just because I only just discovered the site, but think that the way it is setup, pretty much an open forum, is more conducive to getting feedback, testing the waters, and finding out opinions than the review section on this site. So yeah I may or may not do that. Just thought I would put that down to avoid confusion as, if I do, I will be posting on both sites.

So yeah, other than that thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Please do review etc. and I'll catch you next time.
