The next day Izuku and the other students were ushered out into another training area after they suited up in their costumes that had been modified for the winter.

His new winter based costume was made of a thicker material and now had a large black leather overcoat with a high fur collar that brushed against the ravenette's hair. It also had a fur lining on the inside he also had a pair of fingerless gloves that retained the heat in his hands. The black combat boots he wore now had a inner lining of fur that held in the heat of his feet.

Izuku was mostly distracted by thoughts of the thing he had met within his quirk. It reminded him all to well of Tomura.

If that was what he could have been then he was even more glad for the fact that he had escaped when he did. He thought of the icy feeling of his "shadow's" breath on his face and the chilling hand that had caressed his face.

Izuku was so caught up in his thoughts that he almost didn't notice the entrance of 1-B. Though he most certainly caught the annoying squawking of his slightly older half brother.

Monoma's squawking was silenced as Eraserhead's scarf wrapped around his throat. Crushing his windpipe and shutting him up.

"Quiet." Eraserhead simply said as he released Monoma from his scarf. Letting the blond drop to his hands and knees as he coughed to try and breath through his bruised throat. Izuku shook his head and sighed at his half brother.

'You really need to learn when to shut up and let go of your anger Monoma.' The ravenette thought as he looked at his wheezing half brother.

Vlad Kind 1-B's homeroom teacher pushed past Eraserhead and spoke. "Alright lets get right down to business." He said glaring at the students. "Combat exercises!"

The man began before he pointed to the fake industrial area behind them as he explained what they'd be doing that day.

Apparently the classes would be up against each other in four on four team rounds. Each team would perceive the other as the villains and attempt to capture them. The winner would be the team who captured all of the members of the opposing team. The class with the most total wins would be the overall winner.

And the teams would be chosen by drawing lots.

The teams are this.

Round 1

Class A-Bakugou, Iida, Mineta, and Kaminari

Class B-Honenuki, Kaibara, Bondo, and Kendo

Round 2

Class A-Tokoyami, Shoji, Mina, and Asui

Class B-Kuroiro, Shiozaki, Kodai, and Shoda

Round 3

Class A-Ojiro, Sero, Kirishima, and Hagakure

Class B-Rin, Yanagi, Tsunotori, and Awase

Round 4

Class A-Uraraka, Aoyama, Todoroki, and Jirou

Class B-TetsuTetsu, Tsuburaba, Komori, and Tokage

Round 5

Class A-Izuku, Koda, Momo, and Sato

Class B-Monoma, Shinsou, Jurota, and Kamakiri

The different teams grouped up to begin discussing strategy.

Izuku looked at his teammates. "I may have an idea." His emerald eyes looked at the ever shy Koda. "But it will require Koda and Sato for it to work." The black haired boy said making the two (mainly Koda) look at him in surprise. "And with you on our team Yaoyorozu I think my plan may work even better." He said with a smile on his face.

The other three nodded.

"What's your plan Midoriya?" Yaoyorozu asked with a quirked brow.

Izuku looked at her and placed his hands on his hips as he spoke. "Okay it goes like this." He began looking at his fellow students with a smile on his face. As he explained his plan he could see out of the corner of his eye that the other teams were discussing their plans as well.

After Izuku explained his plan it was almost time for the first round. He and the rest of the gathered students sat down in front of the screens that showed the massive industrial yard.

One screen focused on 1-A's team and another focused on 1-B's. While others showed the industrial yard in general.

Izuku watched the two teams prepare with slight anticipation. He knew the capabilities and quirks of his classmates. But the students of 1-B... were a wild card.

Their quirks were a total unknown to all of 1-A and Izuku could only make the barest of guesses on what their quirks were. Monoma's quirk was the only one he was aware of. And even then he wasn't fully sure how his half brother's quirk functioned

So he was extremely excited for the upcoming fights. Especially so he could see what the soon to happen fight would bring.

Learning about new and interesting quirks was one of Izuku's favorite pastimes. Especially if he was able to get his hands on them.

Izuku smiled and rolled his shoulders and cracked his back before he settled into a more comfortable position.
