XXX 1-B Classroom XXX
It took a bit longer for Izuku to return to the classroom than he expected. Because he had almost literally run into Bakugo. Izuku had out of necessity gotten decently good at reading the mood of his explosive tormenter. So Izuku could tell that the blonde was in an even worse mood than normal. Luckily for Izuku, the blonde wasn't facing him, allowing the green-haired hero in training to back away unnoticed.
The run-in forced Izuku to double back and take an alternate route back to class. By the time he was entering he only had a few minutes to spare. The rest of the class were all still relaxing as they waited for the bell to signal the end of lunch and the beginning of Hero 101.
"Hey, Brodoriya, how was your lunch? What did AllMight want you for?" Asked Tetsutesu curious. His mention of AllMight got the attention of the rest of the class.
"It was good Tetsutetsu, AllMight just wanted to talk with me about my speech for the festival." Answered Izuku using the explanation he had thought of on his way back. His words killed the interest of most of the class.
"Oh, that makes sense. Looks like Yanagi's guess form early was right." Spoke Tetsutetsu taking a glance at Reiko who despite her neutral look, gave off a slightly smug feeling to the steel boy.
The bell rings ushering the students all to hurriedly take their seats as the door to the classroom slides open. Midnight struts into the classroom with her normal flare, hips swaying and her heels clicking against the floor.
"Alright, my youth-filled lovelies, today we'll be doing rescue training to make up for the training session you lost due to the villain attack. We will be going to the USJ for this training. If anyone is not comfortable returning there just yet please speak to me. Those that don't want to go to the USJ will be getting a head start on first aid training with Recovery girl. The rest grab your costumes and meet up at the bus." Began Midnight her tone turning soft and full of understanding near. Izuku grabbed his suitcase and made his way to the locker room.
The locker room itself was rather silent, allowing Izuku more time to think about all the things on his plate. The upcoming festival, his speech, the other quirks he had yet to unlock, the analysis of his classmates, plans to take his girlfriends out on dates, how to tell his mother he had girlfriends, possible modifications to his suit, and much more bounced through his mind as he put on his costume and made his way to where the bus was parked.
While he was walking Izuku noticed that the rows of busts depicting the alumni and former teachers of the school that once flanked either side of the path had all been replaced with full-body lifelike statues. Other statues of other noteworthy heroes from history and even myth had been popping up all over campus as well.
Izuku quickly concluded that these were most likely part of the security updates to the school given the vice principal's quirk, any would-be attacker would have to worry about any and every statute being a threat or they would be swarmed by an army of them.
Approaching the bus, he could see Midnight talking with several other teachers which included AllMight, Cementoss, and Ectoplasm. The Vice-principal was also present. But he was standing a few feet away talking into his cell phone.
Izuku was a little happy to see that every member of his class decided to return to the USJ. However, the bus ride itself was much quieter than the first time. All of the students were tense even with all the extra teachers there. None of them spoke above a whisper, the teachers could all tell how the students were all on edge.
Izuku sat in the back of the bus Pony and Reiko on either side of him. Reiko used the same trick with her sleeve she had done before to hold his hand without anyone noticing. Reiko's uncanny ability to calm Izuku's anxiety proved quite effective, and he appreciated the feeling of her soft hand intertwined with his own. In an effort to distract them and to extent himself, Izuku recalled a topic he needed to discuss with them.
"Um Reiko, Pony is it alright if I ask you two something, regarding our r-relationship?" asked Izuku in a whisper, worried that his request would upset his girlfriends
"Of course Izu." Whispered Pony in English, while Reiko nodded. Izuku glanced around to make sure no one was listening in on them.
" Would it be alright if we kept our dating a secret? Not that I am ashamed of you two or anything like that it's just…" Whispered Izuku worried his girlfriends would take offense to the request. But a squeeze from Reiko's hand silenced him.
"It is ok. I understand that you do not want others prying into your personnel life. I also wish to postpone the attention and inevitable queries our classmates would have at the learning of our affections. I do not mind waiting till we are more comfortable." Spoke Reiko reassuring her boyfriend in a quiet voice. Izuku looked at Pony who had a downright adorable pout on her face.
"I wanted to be all lovey-dovey with you in public." spoke Pony quietly, arms crossed.
"Is there anything I can do to get you to agree?" Asked Izuku, Pony hummed in thought.
"How about you take her to Karaoke after class today. There's a small Karaoke place I know. There are even some nice restaurants on the same street you can eat at. None of our classmates should be there." Spoke Reiko proposing an Idea.
"That's a great idea. what do you think Pony?" asked Izuku, more than happy with the proposed idea.
'Just me and Izu getting to sing our hearts out, eating dinner, sharing dessert… and maybe getting to making out a little.' Thought to Pony the images of her and Izuku enjoying themselves flashing through her mind. Having been convinced herself of the idea she only had one concern to voice.
"I love the idea of 1 on 1 time with Izu. But what about you?" Asked Pony, wanting the alone time. But I didn't want to leave out Reiko or be rude.
"I'm fine, you two have fun. I'll have my date after the festival." Replied Reiko already knowing what she wanted to do with her boyfriend.
"Ok sounds good to me." whispered Pony with a smile. Her excitement and joy radiated off of her like sunlight.
Ever since Setsuna had overheard the confession she had been paying closer attention to the trio. She had seen them leave the dorms for what was clearly a date and she started noticing how much closer they all seem.
Setsuna wasn't very surprised when during her observations she noticed Kinoko stealing glances at Izuku. Setsuna knew the Mushroom themed girl had been saved by Izuku several times at this point. So it made sense for her to develop a little crush on him. Setsuna wondered if she knew about Izuku's relationship?
Setsuna's musing was broken when Izuku's head turned and their eyes met. She gave him a toothy grin, hoping he hadn't realized she was staring at him. Izuku sent her a smile that caused her cheeks to heat up. Setsuna breaks eye contact with the boy.
'That smile is so unfair.' thought Setsuna, hoping her blush wasn't noticeable.
Not wanting to risk getting caught again Setusna pulled out and unlocked her phone to find something to distract her. However, the first thing that was displayed was a text message from her mother.
'Remember honey just follow my advice. I can't wait to meet him tomorrow. Good luck with classes today. Love you.' read Setsuna recalling the advice she was given.
'First, you have to be 100% certain of your feelings. Before doing anything else. That's going to take some time to figure out. Let alone decide if you like him enough to be willing to share. For now, just keep hanging out with him and getting to know him. I'll be all ears when you need me.' Thought Setsuna remembering what her mother had said.
"All right students before we arrive I would like to explain the exercise. We'll be conducting a few different kinds of rescues today. The teachers and I will be showing you all how it's done then, you'll be broken into small groups and run through the rescue yourselves. Your classmates and Ectoplasm will act as the victims for this lesson." Spoke Andy beginning to explain the lesson.
"We'll only be doing 3 zones today starting with the ruin zone, then we'll get nice and sweaty in the fire zone, and then round out the exercise by getting wet in the Flood Zone. The size and composition of the rescue teams as well as the number of victims along with the severity of their injuries will all be randomized to a certain extent. But everyone will get to be both a victim and hero." Continued Midnight slipping innuendos into her explanation as normal. causing her colleagues to sigh, some of the students to blush.
"When you enter a rescue situation in the field you will need to adapt to a variety of factors, not just the hazard itself. But different types of victims need to be handled differently. As you may not be familiar with what other heroes will be at the scene or you may not know how many victims to expect. Also because we have multiple teachers we'll be having multiple rescues happening at once!" Spoke Allmight finishing off the explanation with his fists on his hips as the bus slowed to a stop in front of their destination.
XXX The USJ Ruins Zone XXX
Izuku pulled out a blank notebook and a pencil and paid close attention as the teachers prepared to show proper rescue techniques in the ruin zone.
"The main hazard in the aftermath of a large battle or Earthquake, Is the building stability. If you are not careful and vigilant the building you are in could collapse around you. Possibly burying you or victims alive. " Spoke Cementoss as he pointed out certain signs to determine the stability of an area. The cement hero was in his element as he lectured the class while pointing out what signs indicated that an area was structurally compromised. He details proper methods to search buildings, how to handle victims and how to navigate the injured through obstacles.
After Cementoss finished his lecture with some input from the other teachers. The students were broken up into groups and assigned buildings to clear. Izuku, Kendo, and Awase had been tasked with clearing an apartment complex that had 15 apartments per level. The building was moderately damaged with one of the flights of stairs collapsed and parts of the walkways broken off. Cementoss had helped the students chosen to play victims to select their hiding spots spread throughout the build and assigned them each an injury to pretend to have.
The three students had split up to search the ground floor after the exercise began. Izuku had already searched the build managers' office and 3 of the apartments. As he carefully moved to the next apartment to continue his search. He noted the front door on the floor seemingly blown off its hinges. He kept a close eye out for any sign that the area was unstable as he entered.
The apartment was eerily similar to the one he grew up in. A layer of rubble led from the entrance hall deeper into the apartment. The source of which became clear upon him entering the living room, the ceiling had collapsed creating a giant mess of furniture, drywall, insulation, concrete, and rebar. Izuku began to search the apartment properly, checking bedrooms, closets, bathrooms, anywhere a person could be. He also called out regularly leaving pauses in between his calls so he could hear any replies.
"Like help." Call out the muffled but familiar voice of Camie. Izuku moved back into the living room worried he had missed his fawn-haired friend on his first pass of the room.
"I hear you! I'm a Pro hero, please keep calm and keep calling out!" Spoke Izuku Calling out to and trying to reassure the 'victim' as the teachers instructed.
"I'm here." Spoke Camie, continued to play her role.
Despite her voice still being muffled, Izuku realized that it was coming from above. He carefully made his way to the top of the rubble mound directly under the hole to the apartment above. Guessing the edge would not be stable, Izuku activated full cowling at around 2% and jumped in place; he went just high enough to get a quick layout of the floor above. He increased the percentage of Full cowl and jumped up into the apartment above, even calling on float for a quick moment to ensure a soft landing. He scanned his surroundings as he powered down Full Cowling. But Camie wasn't in sight at the moment.
"Save me, hero." Called out Camie. But this time in a more playful tone. Izuku quickly moved to the source of her call, the kitchen.
He found Camie on her stomach, she was 'pinned' under some kind of weight that had the word refrigerator written on it along with her being partly covered in some rubble.
" Do worry, miss, I am here." Spoke Izuku in his best professional hero voice. He even subconsciously used his mentor's catchphrase. Camie let out a little giggle as she turned her head to him.
"Oh thank heavens, please help me. I think my legs are busted!" Spoke Camie with a very convincing performance.
"No worries, I'll have you out of there and to safety in a moment." Replied Izuku a small blush of embarrassment at the girl's playful giggle. Izuku moved towards the weight, lifting the weight was easy for him. After all, he had successfully carried Allmight on top of a refrigerator near the end of his 10 months cleaning the beach and that had all been before he got his quirk.
Camie knew Izuku was strong, she had seen first hand what his quirk could do. So she knew lifting the stuff on top of her would be easy for Izuku with his quirk. However, she was surprised when Izuku casually lifted the weight over his head and moved it to the side without activating his quirk at all. He made even quicker work of the other debris covering her. He rolled her onto her back like she was made of brittle glass.
"I'm just going to check you over for more injuries real quick." Spoke Izuku. Camie smiled happily handing a cue card to the Green haired boy.
The Cue card read broken left shin, broken right ankle, Bruising on arms, and a small cut to the right hand. Izuku crouched down carefully, slipping one arm under her knees and the other under her back, and with great ease, he lifted the young lady and held her in his arms.
"Don't worry I got you."Spoke Izuku with that Heroic look of his. Before he made his way out of the Apartment.
"My hero! However, will I repay you?" Spoke Camie dramatically throwing her arms around his neck enjoying herself. Izuku jumped back down to the 1st-floor apartment, as the entrance to this apartment was unassessable due to rubble being extra careful about his landing.
"Y-you seem to be having fun with this." Spoke Izuku breaking character with a smile as they exited the apartment, Camie laughed.
"Hell yeah, fam I use to be in a theater club in middle school. Plus some of my fav dramas have scenes like this." Replied Camie dropping her act, as Izuku moved to the designated drop-off location. Allmight who was overseeing his group, gave him a simple nod as he's jotted stuff down on the clipboard in his hands. The other teachers were all paying attention to a different group, marking things down on clipboards or tablets.
He arrived just as Pony finished dropping Manga off. She pouted slightly after seeing Izuku carrying Camie in his arms like a princess. Izuku placed Camie down on her legs. But before he could resume his search of the first floor.
"Midoriya! Awase! I'm going to need some help over here!" Called out kendo from the balcony of the 3rd floor.
'Did she clear her apartments on the first two floors already?' thought Izuku as he made his way toward Kendo's location.
Izuku immediately spotted Kendo trying to lift one of the building's support pillars that had fallen over. It was currently blocking the entrance into an apartment. Izuku could hear the groaning of one of his male classmates coming from in the blocked-off apartment. The pillar bugged and lifted it a little. But she couldn't utilize the strength of her quirk unless she had enough room to enlarge her hands.
"Kendo. I'm here, how can I help?" Spoke Izuku, Kendo stopped trying to lift the pillar. Awase arrived shortly after Izuku.
"Shishida is trapped in the apartment. This is the only way in without busting a wall down. Awase If Izuku and I can lift this can you weld it in a way it won't fall over?" Spoke Kendo taking the lead. Awase took a look at the rubble even hopping over the pillar to look at the other side. Once he finished his evaluation he spoke.
"So good news and bad news. Good news: I can weld it in such a way that it will be stable. Bad news; in order to do that you'll need to lift it above your head and hold it there for long enough for me to weld it properly." Explained Awase. Kendo looked concerned, this could be risky. But so would knocking a wall down without knowing if it was load-bearing or not.
'The teachers wouldn't set this up if they weren't sure we could do it right?' thought Kendo, wondering if they should ask Allimight.
"We can do it. Awase, be ready to Weld." Spoke Izuku approaching the pillar. Kendo sent a look that asked if he was sure. He responded with a nod and a smile. Kendo decided it wouldn't hurt to at least attempt. But she planned to go straight to Allmight if they failed.
Izuku and kendo both got into position on either side of the pillar. Izuku powered up Full cowling to the highest he could safely hold. Kendo gave a short count down.
" 3...2..1lift!" Spoke Kendo. The two hero students grunted in effort as the pillar rose at their combined strength. it was lopsided toward kendo. But Izuku adjusted to compensate, once it was at knee height. Kendo enlarged her hands making it much easier for her now. The Pillar rose and rose until it was around eye level.
"It needs to be higher." Spoke Awase ready to start welding the moment
"Kendo, I think we have to get under it." Spoke Izuku.
"Are you sure?" Asked Kendo unsure, it sounded like a bad idea to her.
"Yes. if I don't have to move I can increase my output without backlash." Replied Izuku, the arcs of green lighting dancing over his body. Kendo looked into his eyes for a few heartbeats.
"Ok, I trust you. Let's do it." responded Kendo, the girl adjusted her hold. She hissed as she took more weight as Izuku shifted himself under the pillar quickly.
Izuku to a breath. Before focusing on the ball of power in his core, he upped the percentage of OFA.
'Full cowling 10%' Thought Izuku as he took the pillar's weight from Kendo as she shifted under the pillar with him. They were face to face under their shared burden, Izuku lowered his percentage down. so he could safely move once again they lifted in unison. Pushing the pillar higher and higher.
"Right there is perfect hang tight!" Spoke Awase as he moved to begin welding.
Izuku focused on his output while Kendo's eyes roamed around in case something gave way. She may have taken in the chiseled physique of her class rep through his skintight hero suit once or twice. But if asked she'd say that it was just due to coincidence.
Eventually, their eyes met and the two stared into each other's eyes like deer caught in headlights. They stared at each other for what felt like an hour neither one having the will to speak.
"Okay, that should do it!" Spoke Awase as he finished securing the pillar with his quirk.
Both of his teammates didn't even notice that the weight of the pillar was no longer there.
Izuku broke eye contact with a blush on his face.
"I still have to finish searching my Area!" Spoke Izuku added a quiet apology just loud enough for her to hear. Before he left practically running.
"Ok. I'll grab Shishida." Spoke Kendo despite the fact Izuku was gone.
" Nice wor.." Started Awase before he noticed his teammates had left. The young man shrugged before heading back down to the floor below, to continue his search.
Xxx fire zonexxX
Izuku was thankful for the gas mask on his costume as it gave him some protection against the smoke in the burning building he was in. The building was modeled after an office building. The heat even with the resistance One For All granted him he was still sweating heavily. He could hear Tetsutetsu, Rin, and Jurota his teammates for this rescue calling out and searching for the victims. This rescue was on a timer unlike the last one, partly to keep the students from getting heatstroke and partly to simulate the time-sensitive nature of a building fire. One of the teachers was controlling the flames simulating the fire spreading through the building, as well as monitoring the students through the fire-resistant cameras throughout the building.
They were thankfully on the last floor of their search with time running short they had to search the last of the rooms and get out of the building. Izuku exited an empty meeting room back into the main hallway. The artificial fires surged in intensity. Izuku saw his teammates start coming down the hall, each with a 'victim' either slung across their shoulders in a fireman's carry or with an arm over their shoulder helping the 'victims' walk.
"Is that everyone?" Asked Izuku loud enough to be heard over the roaring fire. Kendo, who was playing the victim. Who was currently over Tetsutetsu's shoulders, was the one to answer.
"I don't know if the boss got out of her office please you have to save her." Spoke Kendo. She had soot on her cheeks, and dotting her costume.
"There is only a single room we have yet to check. That must be the room. Sir Midoriya." Spoke Jurota, pointing one of his clawed digits to a large double door at the end of the hall.
" I'll go check, you guys head down and out of the building. We're running low on time." Spoke Izuku. Tetsutetsu looked conflicted for just a moment.
" Alright, we'll head out, don't take too long." Spoke Tetsutetsu trusting in his friend as he began leading the rest of the team back toward the stairs.
Izuku simply nodded before turning and running down the hall toward the unchecked door. Finding the door locked the young man used a quirk-enhanced kick to bust the doors open. Izuku stepped in and immediately spotted Setsuna sitting down propped up against a fake desk, a wheelchair overturned, and close to a small fire nearby.
"Finally! I'm turning into cooked seaweed over here." Spoke Setsuna not even trying to act the part of a victim. The lizard girl fanned herself with a hand to little effect.
" Don't worry ma'am I'll get you out of here." Spoke Izuku, trying to be professional as he moved toward her. Setsuna handed him her injury cue card, which read she was fine but she was a 'paraplegic'.Izuku lifted her. The girl gave an over-exaggerated yelp of surprise.
"Watch those hands, big guy!" spoke Setsuna, her tone testing and her hands pressed against his chest. She laughed as Izuku's blush went cherry red as he readjusted his grip on her.
He made his way to the door, worrying slightly that Setsuna might be overheating due to the redness of her face. But before he could even get close to the threshold a wall of fire rose in the hallway beyond. A wave of heat slammed into the pair as a result.
"I don't think that way is an option anymore. Gotta plan B?" Asked Setsuna looking at Izuku. The boy frantically looked around until his eyes settled on the bay windows that looked out to the street behind the building.
"Izuku what are you thinking? Izuku?" questioned Setsuna. Izuku didn't reply as he walked up to the desk and with a mighty push, kick sent the desk careening through the windows.
The rush of fresh air caused the flames to grow greatly as they devoured the fresh oxygen. Izuku didn't wait for the flames to rush into the room; he had jumped out of the window right after the desk.
Setsuna never was scared of falling given her quirk. However, unexpectedly jumping out of the 5th floor of a building with a fireball behind you still got her to scream at first in terror than in excitement.
'I just need to active Float at the right time to land softly. ' Thought Izuku as he tried to focus with Setsuna screaming in exhilaration. His timing was a little too late and he had to break his fall with a roll to avoid hurting himself or Setsuna.
"Haha well you certainly know how to make a girl's heartbeat fast mister hero." spoke Setsuna Teasingly. Getting up on her feet as the horn signals the end of the exercise sounded. She gave Izuku a hand to help him to his feet as the test build was no longer on fire.
XXX Flood Zone XXX
After a rehydrating and a short break, the class shifted to the flood zone Vice-principal Andy had demonstrated the procedure for the rescue of a drowning person. Some of the students blushed. when he demonstrated CPR to the class. Midnight had very eagerly volunteered to play the victim for the demonstration. Towels would be provided so they weren't soaking on the bus ride back.
"I would not have minded if you had to practice the kiss of life on me Izuku." whispered Reiko. The thought of Izuku kissing Reiko or any of his classmates in full view of everyone else caused Izuku to flush in embarrassment. Thankfully for Izuku's heart, they would not be required to actually perform CPR on their classmates. Apparently, that would be for another class, when they were getting properly certified later in the year.
Izuku had been paired with Ibara, a lucky break for a two-person team. The 4 victims assigned to them were spread out in the water. Kamakiri and Shihai were treading water, Kodai was wearing a life jacket and Reiko was clinging to a buoy. All of them were at different distances from the shore, with Reiko being the farthest and Shinhai being the closest. Ibara and Izuku were on the starting line waiting for AllMight to start the rescue.
"I should be able to reach the three closest to the Shore." Stated Ibara as Izuku shed the unneeded weight and items for his hero suit.
"Okay, then I focus on getting Reiko. Sorry about giving you more work." Spoke Izuku knowing that if he had access to a higher percentage of OFA he'd be of more help.
"Nonsense we are heroes, saving civilians is what's most important. The blessing given to me is simply of great use in this instance. " Spoke Ibara her vine hair at the ready.
" Right, let's do our best." Spoke Izuku removing his shoes, socks, and gloves.
"May the Lord grant us the strength to succeed in this training." spoke Ibara, her hands clasped in prayer. Izuku could have sworn she was bathed in a column of light for a moment.
"RESCUE START!" Bellowed out AllMight, as he started a stopwatch. Izuku immediately made a mad dash toward the water diving in with a powerful leap. Ibara had stopped near the water's edge.
Izuku noticed Ibara's vines shot past him and toward the other victims as he swam toward Reiko. Even just 5% Full Cowl allowed Izuku to swim at a speed that pre-quirk professionals would be impressed with.
"Hello, Izuku." Spoke Reiko her normal flat tone laced with affection.
"Hi, Reiko let's get you back to shore." Spoke Izuku as he went about rescuing her. As they neared the shore, he felt Ibara take hold of them with her vines and lift them out of the water and back to shore the rest of the way.
"THAT'S TIME, WELL DONE, NEXT VICTIMS AND RESCUERS GET READY!" Spoke AllMight calling out the next rescuers.
"That was quite enjoyable, perhaps going to a pool or beach, maybe a fun activity in the future." Commented Reiko Izuku was about to reply when he noticed that due to the water the white kimono of her hero costume had become slightly see-through showing off her black bra and her curves as the costume clung to her body. Izuku practically sprinted to get his girlfriend a towel to help cover her up.
'Maybe I should add a cap or something to my costume.' thought Izuku, Considering addition just so he could cover someone up if the need arose.
The class boarded the buses and began heading back to the main building. During the drive, the teachers all gave varying levels of criticism and praise on the student's performances. The Class as a whole had made many mistakes. But the vice principal assured them that it was to be expected of their first time. The trip back to the main building was much more lively than the trip to the USJ. The tension from early in the day was completely gone.
"Well done everyone you did very well all things considered. Go hit the showers. Be sure to pick up your homework from the classroom and make sure to get some rest. You don't want to be tired tomorrow. I'll want to see your youthful spirit tomorrow!" Spoke Midnight dismissing her students. Who quickly shuffled off the buses and to the locker rooms.
XXX Class1-B classroom. XXXX
With everyone back in their school uniforms, Class 1-B returned to their classroom. Everyone grabbed a copy of the homework left on the podium and gathered their belongings and backpacks. Izuku also found a flash drive on his desk that he was able to slip into his bag without much fuss or notice. But when Tetsutetsu opened the classroom door to leave. The hall was packed with other UA students.
"Uuh, what are you all doing crowding around our class?" Question Tetsutetsu, confused at the wall of students.
"Do you have some sort of business with our class?" Asked Kendo, having an idea as to why they were there.
"Please allow us to pass, many of us do not wish to miss the train." Requested Ibara not wanting to be late for helping her father prepare for the charity event he was planning.
"My my so this is the class that survived a villain attack. Where's the one who supposedly beat that AllMight killer from the news?" Asked a Blonde-haired student who stepped to the front of the crowd with a smug look on his face which was screaming that he believed he was better than them.
"That would be Midoriya." answered Kuroiro the boy looking like he just wanted to get this over and down with as he pointed a thumb at the Class rep. The smug blond and the rest of the crowd all looked at Izuku. Izuku shrunk in on himself slightly, especially as the crowd started to size him up and doubt him.
"Honesty you seem kind of pathetic. I doubt the thing was anywhere close to AllMight's strength if you were able to beat it. If you are the best your class has to offer then none of you are a threat to class 1-A we'll show everyone that we're bett *slap*" Spoke the Smug blonde before he was knocked out by a long tongue from a girl who bore a striking resemblance to a frog.
"Sorry about Monoma, he can be an ass sometimes ribbit." Spoke the Frog girl bluntly bowing in apology before she began dragging the unconscious monoma away. The Crowd lets her through to avoid ending up on the business end of her tongue.
" Out may way extras, You too frog face, copycat!" yelled Backugo letting out little pops of his quirk as he intimidated the gen ed students out of his way until he was in the doorway.
The Blond bomber glared at Class 1-B specifically at Izuku and his friends, that had gotten him into trouble. Izuku, noticing Bakugo's hateful glare directed at his friends and girlfriends felt an emotion bubble within him.
"Listen here Deku! you and your shitty class aren't' shit. I'll show all of you what a real pro-hero is like. I'll crush all of you at the festival and remind you of your damn place!" Yelled Bakugo a glare full of hate directed at Izuku. Izuku felt the emotion in his core grow larger as it rose to a boil.
"Leave him alone, short fuse. You're just jelly since you'll never be a popular hero with your attitude. I pity whoever ends up with you." Spoke Camie defending Izuku. She wasn't the least bit intimidated by Bakugo as she stood beside Izuku.
"Shut your mouth dicklips! before I teach you and the other bitch extras a lesson by shoving my…" Started Bakugo storming toward her. The emotion boiled over at his bully's words and timid, kind Izuku felt anger and rage for the first time.
"Katsuki!" yelled Izuku, his voice unnerving and full of anger. Bakugo's retort died in his throat as he and everyone behind him took an involuntary step back.`The message ' don't you dare finish that sentence.' was clear to everyone present.
Izuku's eyes seemed to be glowing in their sockets and his body was clad in Full Cowling, the lighting dancing over his form. The air itself felt heavy, causing some to hold their breath. All together the look he was sending, cause everyone in front of him to freeze in place.
Camie's hand on his shoulder was all it took. The oppressive feeling vanished as quickly as it came, as Izuku powered down.
'Did I just do that! I am so dead!' thought Izuku freaking out internally and certain Bakugo would attack him. So he was very surprised when that was not what the Bakugo did.
"Tch, whatever I don't want to deal with you anymore anyway." Spoke Bakugo shoving his hands in his pockets as he turned around and stomped his way toward the exit.
"Out of my way you fucking extras!" yelled out Bakugo more agitated than when he arrived.
"Man is everyone in the hero courses as arrogant as you." Spoke a purpled-haired boy who looked in desperate need of a nap.
"The fuck you say!?" Yelled Bakugo, clenching his teeth as he got right in the guy's face.
"I just wanted to say that like many of us here. We didn't make it into the hero course. But according to the teachers if any of us do well enough in the festival then we can be transferred into the hero course. Which means some of you may be transferred out to make room." spoke the Boy still ignoring Bakugo, making the Pomuraninanin even angrier. His words however worried some of the members of Class1-B.
"Scouting the competition. Maybe some of my peers are. But I'm here to let you know that if you don't do your very best. I will snatch your seat from under you. Consider this a declaration of war on the hero course." Spook the purple-haired boy. Not flinching at Bakugo's glare.
"You picking a fight with me, eye bags! Fine cause I don't mind one more extra to grind into the dirt! You better make it to the one-on-one matches so I can crush you! Now out of my way!" spoke Bakugo shoving his way through the crowd.
Kendo and Setsuna both glanced at each other and left the room following the blonde. Several other class 1-B students also left, causing the crowd to start to leave as well.
"Izu I don't ever think I've seen you get angry like that before." Stated Pony intrigued at seeing this new side of him.
"It's also hella sweet. You went all thunder god cause he was threatening us." Added Camie with a smile.
"I didn't like that he was threatening you guys. You are my friends." Spoke Izuku Shyly.
"Omg, It's such a trip when going from all manly to shy like a bunny." Spoke Camie. Tetsutetsu slapped his back.
"That was so manly dude. Standing up for others." complimented Tetsutetsu with manly tears in his eyes. Izuku got praise from several other classmates as they left.
Izuku had left with his classmates but had taken a position at the pack of the group. Pony by his side as the group made its way through the halls. Reiko, who was in front of them, glanced back and gave Pony a nod. Pony grabbed hold of Izuku's hand and took a turn as the rest of the group kept moving forward.
"We'll wander a little to give our classmates time to leave then we can go on our date." Spoke Pony trying to resist the urge to skip through the hall.

Setsuna had already detached a hand with her phone as she and Kendo approached Bakugo.
"Hey, Bakugo." Called out Kendo in a neutral tone. The blonde stopped and turned to look at them, other students walking past them.
" What do you want, man-hands, split bitch." Growled out Bakugo. Kendo did her best not to call out the insulting names and move the topic to what they wanted.
"We wanted to know what your deal with Midoriya is? You guys gotta have some history right?" Asked Kendo, attempting to appear neutral.
"That Deku has been pissing me off and looking down on me since we were 4! So I…"Angrily started Bakugo before catching himself before he went on a rant.
Remembering that these bitches were on Deku's side for some reason he couldn't understand. He also recalled the warning the teachers gave him and the earful his mother gave him after his actions in the cafeteria.
" I don't have to tell you two bitcths anything. So why don't you two go fuck yourselves or better yet since you idiots seem to like Deku so much, you can go fuck him for all I care, useless trash should stick together." Spoke Bakugo flipping them off and walking away.
"That arrogant prick!" Yelled Kendo wanting nothing more than to beat the bully in front of her up. She was only held back by Setsuna.
"Hold on kendo, you gotta keep calm." Spoke Setsuna keeping the martial artist from turning the Bakugo into a pretzel.
"Your right, your right. What do we do now? He's not going to spill the beans, at least not easily." Spoke Kendo after she calmed down. Setsuna looked past her at the front gate and she broke out into a Cheshire cat-like smile.
"Simple Kendo. If we can't get it out of him, we get it out of brown nosers that he hangs out with." Replied Setsuna pointing at a small group of students from a different school talking with Bakugo, before he yells at them and then all of them fall in step behind them. Kendo smiles and the two girls start to tail the group, waiting for their opportunity.
XXX Dejarik Arcade and Karaoke XXX
Kendo and Setsuna had been tailing the group for about an hour. They had been talking no stop and had stopped at a food stand. The girls watched as Bakugo and his group finally entered a building called Dejarik Arcade and Karaoke. The girls waited a moment before entering after them.
The girls paused after seeing the group turn a corner. Setsuna peeked around the corner and saw the group split in two Bakugo and 4 others moved upstairs to the Arcade and the one who seemed to know him the most entered one of the karaoke booths with a few others.
"Okay anger issues is heading up to the arcade, the one with the long fingers and a few others are in the booth near the end of the hall." Spoke Setsuna informing Kendo.
"Okay, I'll follow Bakugo upstairs. I'll leave this group to you. If you see a chance to get what we need, take it. I'll send you a text if they start to head down." Spoke Kendo, laying out the plan.
"You got it, good luck." Spoke Setsuna. Watching Kendo move toward the stairs that Bakugo went up.
Setsuna waited around the corner waiting for the long finger guy or one of the others to exit. When the booth closest to her opened up, Setsuna almost jumped out of her skin. When Pony stepped out Setsuna felt her heart fill with dread for a moment. Pony closed the door to the booth so Izuku didn't notice Setsuna.
"Set, what are you doing here?! shouldn't you be with Kendo trying to get Bakugo to confess?" Asked Pony confused and slightly panicking as she tried to figure out a way to explain her and Izuku's presence without revealing she was on a date.
"We hit a snag, But we're working on it. Shouldn't you be distracting Izuku with Camie?" Asked Setsuna clearly Suspicious
"I asked Izuku to show me around the city, thinking It would keep us far away from you guys. We ended up here. I was just going to grab us some drinks." Answered Pony, deciding not to mention that it was only her and Izuku.
'I was so excited about the date. I forgot Camie and I were supposed to keep Izuku away from Bakugo!' thought Pony freaking out internally as Setsuna's eyes narrowed.
'She's a terrible liar. She's definitely on a date with him right now. Is Reiko in there too?' Thought Setsuna, seeing right through Pony's attempt at deception.
"Just grab the drinks quickly and keep him in the booth. I'll text you when the pomeranian leaves." Spoke Setsuna. Pony nodded her head and moved down the hall toward the drink machines.
As she glanced back around the corner she smirked seeing her target slip out of the booth, a pack of cigarettes in his hand. Setsuna made a slightly disgusted look.
'Great, he's a smoker. Let's just get ready to get him to spill.' thought Setsuna reminded of her middle school days. Setsuna removed her uniform blazer and tied it around her waist. She removed the tie and stuffed it in a pocket, she then unbuttoned a few of the topmost buttons of her dress shirt to show a little cleavage. She detached a hand and one of her eyes to record the information she needed. She covered the empty socket with her hair and stuffed the arm with the stump into her pocket.
She then proceeded to accidentally bump into the dude as he turned the corner.
"Oops sorry about that." Spoke Setsuna. She saw the boy check her out, giving Setsuna the desire to shower after this was done.
" No problem, I'm Kuzco." Spoke Kuzco paying no attention to the horse girl slipping back into a booth.
"You can call me Toka. You seem a little familiar, were you talking with Bakugo at the school gate?" Asked Setsuna acting like an airhead.
'Hook' thought Setsuna.
"Yes, that was me. Me and Bakugo go way back we've known each other since we were like 4 years old." Bragged Kuzco. Not noticing Setsuna trying to not gag from his bad breath.
"That's so cool! Bakugo's in my class. Oh! maybe you can answer a question I've had. I'd be so grateful." Spoke Setsuna, Leaning forward, causing Kuzco to glance at her cleavage.
"Sure. I can tell you whatever you want beautiful." Answered Kuzco attempting to be smooth. but he clearly had ulterior motives.
'Line' thought Setsuna.
"There's this kid from the other class that he has a major hate boner for and I was wondering why? I think Bakugo calls him Deku or something." spoke Setsuna tapping her chin with a finger.
"That useless Deku actually got into UA!? No wonder Bakugo's been in a bad mood. That waste of space has been annoying Bakugo and the rest of us since our quirks came in." Spoke Kuzco as if he referring to something foul.
'Sinker' thought Setsuna suppressing the desire to smile at how easy this was.
"Oh tell me more." spoke Setsuna, batting her eyelashes at him. As the bully was thinking with his other head started to speak about his history with Izuku.
XXXMeanwhile in the booth nearby XXX
"Thanks for getting the drinks." Spoke Izuku as Pony placed his drink in front of him.
"No problem. Ready to sing Izu?" Spoke Pony, taking a seat right next to him as she grabbed the microphones and song controller.
"I'm not so sure. I don't really sing, I'm probably bad at it." Spoke Izuku nervous as he never really sings anything outside of the shower.
"That's fine Izu. It's Karaoke how good you are doesn't matter. As long as you have fun!'' Spoke Pony, handing him one of the mics as she browsed the English song options.
"Besides, I want to sing a duet with you." added Pony leaning her head on his shoulder and taking one of his hands in hers.
"Well, I guess there's no harm in trying since it's just us." Spoke Izuku, unable to resist her cute affection.
"Yeah! Whoever gets the lower score has to kiss the one with the higher score." Spoke Pony with a playful giggle as she slid herself into his lap.
'But it's just us. we would end up kissing no matter…oh' thought Izuku realizing his girlfriend's intentions, as a blush broke out on his face.
XXX Later outside the booth. XXX
"During middle school, the teachers joined in or turned a blind eye. There were even roamers that messed with his and Izuku's grades. Haha served the quirkless little shit right." Spoke Kuzco with a laugh.
Setsuna's patience was running very thin, she had to use all her self-discipline to not snap and cold cock this asshole. When he went over how he helped torment one of the kindest people she knew, for something he had no control over. Her phone vibrating as a text was received took her focus. Keeping her phone recording. She pulled up the text Kendo sent her.
'I think Bakugo spotted me. He's on his way down right now!' read the text. Setsuna quickly sent a text to Pony.
'Do not let Izuku out of the booth, Bakugo is coming!' wrote Setsuna, sending the message. But before she could get Kuzco to keep talking he wrapped his arm around her waist. It took everything for Setsuna to refrain from kneeing him in the balls.
"Soo do you know how that Deku got into Ua in the first place? I thought for sure he'd fail and end up taking Bakugo's advice to take a swan dive off a roo" Started Kuzco only for Bakugo to cut him off.
"Splitbitch! What the hell are you doing here?! Digits the hell was she talking to you about!" Yelled Bakugo stomping over. Setsuna used the opportunity to slip out of Kuzco's grip and back away a few steps.
"Your classmate here was just curious about our middle school days." Replied Kuzco, clearly scared of Bakugo. Bakugo noticed Kendo stepping up behind Setsuna.
"She is not my classmate you idiot! She's one of Deku's brain-dead friends. What did you tell her!"Demanded Bakugo angry. But before the terrified Kuzco could reply Setsuna spoke up.
"Enough to know you're just a bully, who tormented those you think are lesser just because you have a strong quirk. That's how villains act not heroes." Spoke Setsuna glaring at the explosive boy Kendo joining in as well.
"Tch like I care if you know. It doesn't mean shit! You won't stop me from being a Pro-hero! I will be the strongest! I will be the richest! I will be more famous than Allmight! I will be the number 1 hero and I'll beat up anyone I damn well please like the villains they are! I'll show that Deku and the rest of you bitches that you are all fucking below me!" yelled Bakugo practically growling like a wild animal. Setsuna just narrowed her eyes at him, before she just turned around, and started walking away.
"Come on Kendo, we're done here." Spoke Setsuna as she passed Kendo. Kendo was about to follow when she paused and turned to Bakugo.
"Even if you become the number one which I doubt you ever will. You will never amount to even half the hero Izuku is right now." Stated Kendo with the convection and certainty that what she was saying was 100% true.
" You and those other delusion extras can side with shitty Deku! I'll take enjoyment when reality bitch slaps you." Spoke Bakugo with a smug look.
"We'll see who's gets a reality check in the end." Stated Kendo more to herself than the angry blond yelling about going home. She turned and went to catch up with Setsuna.
"Please tell me you got all that?" Asked Kendo, hoping they got what they needed.
"Oh I got all that and more." replied Setsuna, as her eye and hand reconnected to the rest of her. She broke out into a wide grin as she waved her phone back and forth.
"But for now I gotta head back to the dorms and wash the sleazeball off me. I'll send you and the rest of the girls' copies. When I get back." Joked Setsuna as she and Kendo went their separate ways.
The Lizard girl sent a text to Pony letting her know that it was safe to leave with Bakugo leaving. Pony however would not read the message till 30 minutes later as she was too busy teaching her boyfriend how to french kiss properly.
XXX Parents days at UA FridayXXX
A/N:(I'll be jumping from parent to parent as Inko talks to them)
Inko Midoriya was a nervous person by nature, a trait she had unintentionally passed on to her son. So it wouldn't be a surprise to those who know her that she was currently standing outside of Class 1-B trying to build up the nerve to enter. Even with her losing a little weight thanks to Mitsuki dragging her out of her now-empty apartment to the gym, the green-haired mother was still lacking confidence. She was also extra nervous due to the principal's request to speak with her privately after parent's day was over.
'This would be so much easier if Mitsuki was here' thought Inko fussing over her skirt and sweater.
But she entered the room despite her nerves. All the desks had been moved and were stacked in the back of the room. The parents of all of her baby's classmates were getting acquainted with each other. But none of the children seemed to be present. A large silver-haired man in a hero costume with some bandages approached her. She recognized him from her son's description.
" Hello Ma'am. I am the pro hero Vlad king, and I am Class 1-B's homeroom." Spoke Vlad politely introducing himself.
"It's nice to meet you. I am Inko Midoriya. Thank you very much for taking care of my little Izuku." Replied Inko. She noticed how Vlad seemed to smile widely at the mention of her son. The mention of Izuku had caused several of the parents in the room to perk up.
"Your boy is a very hardworking and driven young man. He has the makings of a great hero. There is no need to thank me. I'm proud to have him as my student." Spoke Vlad genuinely.
"Thanks. Speaking of where are the children?" Asked Inko.
"They are currently changing into their hero Costumes and will be joining us shortly. In the meantime feel free to talk with the other parents." answered Vlad politely, before he walked back over to a man covered in blue fur who was wearing a suit and glasses.
No sooner had Vlad left when a couple moved to great here. The man had pale gray hair, a matching goatee, and was wearing a very nice suit. While the woman was tall and lanky with long straight black hair that covered one of her eyes, she was wearing a dress.
"Hello ms. Midoriya correct? I am Doctor Steven Yanagi, and this is my wife Doctor Emily Yanagi. It is nice to meet you." Spoke Steven introducing himself and his wife.
"Oh, you must be Reiko's parents. She was a joy to talk to when we met." Spoke Inko praising the silver-haired girl.
"Thank you, we have put forth our utmost effort in instructing our daughter to value manners. I am quite curious about your son as our daughter speaks quite highly of him." Spoke Emily a small smile on her lips.
After she finished talking with the Yanagi's Inko took the Initiative to greet another pair of parents. The man had broad shoulders and was wrapped in muscles, he had thick honey brown bread and wore a flannel shirt and jeans and his thumbs were green. The woman at his side was much shorter than him, she had a mutant type quirk that made her appear like a mushroom woman. She had a large red mushroom cap with white spots on her head.
"Hello, I'm Inko midoriya." Spoke Inko. The two parents seem to recognize her name.
"Why hello, I'm Hina Komori, and this big guy is my husband Paul. Our daughter has told us a lot about your boy." introduce Hina with a smile.
"Komori, as in Komori greenhouse?" questioned Inko recalling the place where Mitsuki always gets her flowers, fresh fruit, and tea leaves.
" The very same, feel free to drop by. You'll get the family and friend discount." Spoke Hina offering Inko a business card. Inko was about to refuse or at least question why.
" Please accept. It's the least we can do since your boy saved our little mushroom princesses from those villains." Spoke Paul in a kind tone.
"Oh um thank you I will be sure to drop by. I have always wanted to try your specialty teas." spoke Inko, who didn't have the heart to politely refuse the offer.
After leaving the Komoris Inko had a wonderful conversion with Father Forthill, the adopted father of Shiozaki, and Doctor Henry McCoy, Jurota's Guardian. But when she finished speaking with the well-mannered men she noticed an orange-haired woman and a Seaweed green-haired lizard woman having a tense conversation. With the green-haired woman sporting an "I know something you don't" smile. Inko could have sworn she saw the images of a tiger and dragon appear behind the two women. Both of them suddenly turned to look at her, and Inko suddenly felt like a rabbit in the sights of two predators. They both tried approaching her at the same time, but the orange-haired one won reaching her first.
Thankfully for Inko Hilda kendo wasn't as intimidating as she first appeared and Inko found herself enjoying the women's company, her husband Isshin Kendo didn't seem like much of a talker though.
"Inko you and Izuku should come over for dinner." Spoke Hilda with a smile.
"That sounds lovely. When would be a good time for you?" questioned Inko, happy to accept the dinner offer.
"How about the Saturday after the festival?" Proposed Hilda sending a smirk to the green-haired lizard women on the other side of the room.
"That works for me. I'll be sure to let Izuku know." Spoke Inko with a kind smile.
"I'll send the details through my daughter." Spoke Hilda, before she and her husband walked away.
"Why did you invite them to dinner? You didn't offer it to any of the other parents," questioned Isshin.
"Simple, I'm getting to know our future inlaw," replied Hilda in a deadpan tone. Before her husband could make a fuss she gave him a peck on the cheek and spoke.
"Oh, don't make that face, it ruins your handsome face. I was only teasing you a bit." Spoke Hilda cutting off her husband.
"I just don't understand why you think Itsuka likes this boy." Spoke Isshin with a sigh.
" Just chalk it up to mother's intuition for now. Next time they're together take the time to watch them interact and you'll see. Now, come on we only have a few more people to meet." Spoke Hilda taking her husband's hand and leading to the next person. She could hear him mutter his dislike for small talk.
Inko had a good discussion with Officer Tetsutesu about his job as a member of the Saitama Swat team and his career as a beat cop before that, but Halfway through the store about how he met his late wife. The Door to the class opened and the students walked in.
"Oh Izuku you look so cool in your costume, you too Pony, and I love the cat theme, Camie." Spoke Inko gushing at how dashing her son was and Complimenting both of the American girls' hero costumes looked.
"Thanks, mom." Spoke Izuku rubbing the back of his head.
"Thank you ." Spoke Pony with a smile happy Inko likes her costume.
"Thanks, Mamadoriya, good to know my look is lit." Commented Camie, doing a quick cat pose.
That was when Inko noticed the Lizard woman from earlier approached her with Setsuna in her hero costume. The woman was dressed in a pantsuit with a hole in the back to accommodate her green lizard tail.
" Hello, you must be Mrs. Midoriya. I'm Mako Tokage. It's a pleasure to meet you! My daughter seems to be a big fan of your work." Spoke Mako at a fast pace.
"What?" spoke Inko and Izuku confused as to what Mako meant. Pony and Camie also drawing blanks. Setsuna covered her face to hide her blush.
" Setsuna has told great things about your boy. I was excited to meet him. But she failed to mention how cute he was in his costume especially with those bunny ears." Spoke Mako, before Inko could question her about what her earlier comment meant.
"Why thank you. But you should have seen him when he was little and wore his Allmight onesie." Spoke Inko gushing with pride as she went for her phone.
"Mom!" Spoke Izuku in embarrassment as his mother pulled out her phone to show the pictures. Several other parents gathered to see. Izuku's plea landed on deaf ears as Setsuna and a few of his other classmates giggled and chuckled at his expense.
"Aww, that's adorable. Oh here's Setsuna, when she was around that age she was such a fan of Godzillo." Replied Mako, pulling up a picture of Setsuna in a little onesie modeled after the Kaiju hero as she stomped around a little city made of blocks.
"Mom!" called out Setsuna, no longer giggling as she was now embarrassed.
"That's nothing. Look at my little princess. She said she wanted to find Mario." Spoke Paul, showing the parents a photo of a little Kinoko in a princess peach outfit.
"DAD!" Yelled Kinoko trying to reach for the Phone. But she was not tall enough to even get close.
One by one all of the present parents showed off pictures and in Itsuka's case a video from when they were little. Only Pony, Camie, Rin, Shihai, Kaibara, and Tsuburaba were spared embarrassment; none of their parents were present.
"May I have your attention please." started Vlad gaining the attention of the students and parents. Which had the added benefit of stopping the parents from embarrassing their children further.
"Thank you. I wanted to go over the itinerary for today. We will begin by demonstrating what your kids have learned about hero work so far. We'll start with the most important part of the job: rescuing people. We have a scenario already prepared. If any of you want to join in and play the civilian role you're more than free too." Informed Vlad. The parents all seemed excited at starting the day with the hero work portion of the school.
"That sounds lovely, it reminds me of when Izuku would rescue me from the blanket villain when he was little." commented Inko interpreting Vlad.
"Mom!" spoke Izuku thoroughly embarrassed as he covered his face with his hands.
"*Chuckle* After that the students will do a combat demonstration against villain bots or will spar with each other. After that the students will change out of their costumes then we'll break for lunch. The Principal will then give you a tour of the campus and answer any questions you may have. Then you're all free to go." Finished Vlad.
"I AM HERE TO HELP OVERSEER THE RESCUE AND COMBAT EXERCISES!" yelled AllMight as he entered in his hero costume. His arrival excited the parents further; it was Rare to get to meet the Number 1 hero in person.
"IT IS A PLEASURE TO MEET THE PARENTS OF MY STUDENTS. PLEASE FOLLOW ME TO THE TRAINING GROUNDS!" Spoke AllMight as he and Vlad started to lead the group to the prepared training grounds.
Some of the Parents stuck close to Allmight asking the Symbol of Peace questions about his career. Izuku, who was walking with his group of friends, noticed that Pony looked a little off.
"Pony, are you okay you seem a little down?" Asked Izuku
"It's not much, I'm just a little sad that my family wasn't able to make it. They should be here next week, and will stay till after the Festival is over." Explained Pony
"I'm sure they would have come earlier if they could. But they'll still get to cheer you on in person during the Festival and you can still show them around after the festival." Spoke Izuku trying to cheer her up.
"We can even do rescue exercises for your folks if you want. Izuku and I can request the use of one of the training grounds." Proposed Kendo placing a hand on the horse girl's shoulder.
"I am willing to assist Lady Pony in this task." Spoke Jurota the first one to jump to help
"I can assist as well." Added Ibara, happy to help her friend.
"Same! It's Manly to help your friends." Added Tetsutetsu raised one of his fists.
"Thanks, guys." Spoke Pony, touched at her friends' actions.
XXX Locker rooms after the rescue and combat demonstrations XXX
Izuku was thankful the demonstrations were completed without issue. His mom only fainted once during the entire event and luckily AllMight was able to catch her before she hit the ground. Izuku was thankful she didn't faint again when she came too in his mentor's arms.
"I don't know about you guys, but I worked up an appetite." Spoke Juzo as he stuffed his Hero costume in his suitcase.
"I am also quite famished." Commented Jurota adjusting his tie.
Izuku's Stomach growled as he finished placing his shoes on.
"Yeah, I could definitely eat something right now." Spoke Izuku agreeing with the sentiment that was floating around the locker room.
But when he and the other boys started to filter out of the locker room. Vlad was waiting for them in the hall, a pair of small robots holding folders on either side of him. Izuku had a good idea as to what this was about.
The blood hero asked his students to wait a moment as they waited for the girls and any stragglers to exit. Only when the whole class had gathered, did Vlad king speak.
"I'll make this quick, Midoriya was given an assignment by Nezu to analyze all the members of the 1st year hero course. Each of you has a folder containing his analysis and advice about your quirks, fighting style, and possible support gear. This is completely optional and it is up to you whether to accept it or not. But you have to decide right now. Do not discuss with each other, or attempt to convince your classmates. Simply grab the folder or leave and make your way to the cafe." Explained Vlad, gesturing to the folders as he spoke.
'Seems the vice-principal wanted to keep them influencing each other's decisions to a minimum.' thought Vlad He expected for his students to pause and consider the offer.
But instead, Camie walked up and grabbed it without hesitation with Pony, Yanagi, Kendo, and Komori right behind her. Tetsutesu, Ibara, and Tsuburaba each grab their own folders. After some thinking, Setsuna grabbed her folder and Bondo was quick to follow.
Awase, Kaibara, Togaru, Jurota, Juzo, Manga, Rin, Kodai, and Shihai all simply left for the Cafeteria without the folders, their choice made. Some after much thought and others with a quick decision.
Once Izuku's friends had made their choices they left as a group to the Cafeteria. Izuku was glad that some of his classmates took the folders. After he and Pony returned from their date he had spent the remainder of his time going over the footage and putting in the hard work to thoroughly analyze all of his fellow students.
As he and his friends made their way to the cafeteria. He watched as the students of Class A walked towards them as they made their way toward the locker rooms. After spending several hours analyzing them yesterday, Izuku had a pretty good grasp of their names and faces.
The green-haired boy took note of which members of class A had taken their folders.
Ashido the acid-wielding girl had already opened her folder and seemed to be giving its contents once over with the set of floating clothes that marked Hagakure's presence making comments as she read over her own analysis. Kirishima who was beside them also carried his folder in hand but it was not opened. The rest of their group seem to have chosen otherwise.
Asui, Ida both carried a folder, and they scolded monoma for being rude as he made comments at ClassB as they passed.
Denki was walking beside Jiro and Yaoyorozu, all of them with a folder in hand.
Tokoyami also carried a folder; his sentient quirk seemed to be bugging him to read it, immediately.
Izuku was happy that members of class A accepted the folders he had honestly expected them to all refuse. Even if they only took them to be polite and didn't plan on actually reading the contents. He was still happy.
Izuku was stunned when he spotted Bakugo also carrying a folder as he walked all alone. But the moment he spotted Izuku and his friends, the blonde gained a cruel smile and in full view of Izuku and his friends, ripped the folder and its contents into pieces before dumping it in a nearby trash can. The explosive teen commented that it was where it belonged.
Izuku was surprised that he didn't really care about his former friend's actions. The fact that Bakugo was alone while Izuku was surrounded by his friends. Who were all currently glaring at the blonde definitely had something to do with it.
'Remember what HoundDog sensei said. This isn't like Aldera. I'm not alone anymore.' thought Izuku as he glanced at his girlfriends who had taken position beside him.
"Come on guys let's go eat. I hope Lunchrush made Katsudon." Spoke Izuku to his friends ignoring Bakugo, as he walked past his friends surrounding him. Leaving a fuming Bakugo in their wake.
XXX Nezu's office after classXXX
Andy had suffered a lot when he was little more than a lab rat. He and his brother both had scars both physical and psychological from that time. Nezu was well known to the hero community as a bit of a sadist, due to his love of messing with humans. Andy was often assumed to be the same due to his use of embarrassing blackmail. He didn't normally take joy in the misfortune of others. However, he couldn't deny that watching the wide-eyed number one hero be dragged into the hands of an overprotective mother by his tie was quite amusing.
Allmight had brought the two members of the Midoriya family to Nezu's office after parents' day had finished. Initially, Andy thought she was the non-confrontational, quiet type, slow to anger if at all, with a dash of the same anxiety and shyness her son possessed. She had even squeaked in shock and fuss over him. when AllMight had revealed his more skeletal form to her.
After Inzuku had calmed her down, she listened attentively to AllMight as he explained One for All, his injury, his choosing of Midorya as the successor of the sacred torch, and then he explained to both Midoriyas about All for one, the history he had with the symbol of peace and the previous wielders. When AllMight had finished his explanation both Midoriyas had taken a moment to process.
Then stood up with a smile that didn't reach her eyes as she lifted a hand and used her quirk. Which lead to the current events of AllMight being shaken back and forth by a woman almost 60cm shorter than him.
'Seems I forgot to account for the mother bear factor.' thought Andy taking a sip of tea and wisely staying out of the mother's way. Andy did notice a blush on AllMight's face and made a mental note to tease him about it later.
"You offered him your quirk without mentioning that there's a villain from the dawn of quirks that has killed almost all the past wielders! Not to mention you not planning any time for him to practice with the quirk before the exam. What would you have done if he didn't get it!? What if he blew off his arm because the only instructions you gave him was to clench his butt and yell?!" Yelled Inko as she continued to shake the symbol of peace as if it would shake.
"In my defense, I thought I killed All For One years ago." Spoke Allmight, not even trying to defend the other points she brought up.
"Mom, calm down, and please stop shaking AllMight." Spoke Izuku as he eventually got his mother to release AllMight.
"Okay, I'm calm…Sorry, AllMight." Spoke Inko bowing in apology.
"It is understandable. This is a…stressful topic." Replied AllMight as he sat back down and fixed his tie.
" A topic we should get back to." Commented Gran Torino.
"Right. We believe It is only a matter of time before AFO realizes Izuku is my successor. When he sees young Izuku use OFA during the festival he'll recognize the quirk for what it is.''Spoke AllMight explaining the situation.
"Well, why don't you just pull him from the festival? I get it's important, but the main benefit is him getting an internship. But can't he just intern under one of the teachers or gran Torino or even you AllMight?" Spoke Inko, preferring her son be kept a secret from the ancient villain until AllMight could finish the job or until he was strong enough to fight back properly.
"That could have been an option if we knew that Izuku was not on AFO's radar or if we had known AFO was still out there beforehand we could have committed to keeping Izuku hidden from the start. Sadly If we pull him from the festival now AFO will deduce something is amiss. Which will only make him look into your son more earnestly. We have reason to believe that he may already be looking into young Izuku, due to requests for his personnel and medical records. I'm afraid attempting to hide your son now would only delay AFO discovering him at best." Spoke Andy wishing they could keep the boy hidden until he was ready.
"With that in mind, AFO will not hesitate to use you to get to Izuku. So we came up with some countermeasures, the first of which would be to place you under UA's protection." Spoke Nezu his beady all-black eyes meeting her green ones.
"What do you need me to do?" asked Inko, more than willing to cooperate.
" Simple a position for an administrative assistant will be opening up. Officially Andy and I need an assistant to help with our plans on expanding the size of the hero course and increasing the intake of international students. In reality, it's an excuse to make you part of the staff. Allowing you to live in the staff housing here on campus. Between the UA security system and the pro heroes that live in the same complex you should be quite safe." Spoke Nezu explains the plan.
"I'll take the job, and I'll happily move into the staff housing immediately." Spoke Inko agreeing to the move without hesitation.
"Excellent. I'll arrange for a pro hero to watch over you until you are moved in." Spoke Andy, already thinking of which Pro he could trust with the job.
"No need to call in anyone. I'll do it. We can rearrange Izuku's training schedule. So I'm later in the day." Spoke Gran Torino volunteering for the task.
"Thank you, Mister Torino. I appreciate it. But what about Izuku? won't AFO come for him the moment he knows?" Asked Inko.
"It would currently be very difficult for AFO to go after Izuku. Since he spends the majority of his time here on campus and stays in the dorms, he is under a decent amount of protection already.
"I plan to also move into the staff house, to dissuade AFO. I also plan to introduce my small form as a teaching ad to allow me to conserve my time for when it is needed." added AllMight put Inko and Izuku more at ease. AllMight's time may be shortening, but he was still a force to be reckoned with.
"You'll have to be vigilant whenever you leave campus no matter the reason, if you plan to go out never do so alone, go in a group if you can, or with a teacher. I know that this is restrictive. But it is for your safety and once AFO is dealt with. We can relax them. okay?" Spoke Andy looking at Izuku.
"Yes sir, I understand. I can live with that." Spoke Izuku, understanding the logic.
'Besides I don't really have much reason to leave campus in the first place. And even then I wouldn't be alone.' Though Izuku. he knew he'd only really leave campus for dates or to hang out with his classmates.
"As for internships and possible work-study, you'll already be under the watch of a pro hero. We'll simply request that the Hero comes to pick you up and return you to the school. If that is not possible i or one of the other staff will drive you." Informed AllMight. Inko was very happy to see that they had had plans to keep her little Izuku safe.
"There is one more thing we plan to enact if it goes well than we'll make so AFO will have a significantly harder time targeting Izuku but there are some drawbacks. AllMight since it is ultimately your idea, would you please explain." Spoke Nezu, the Symbol of peace knew it was a setup, the Principle knew that his idea would get a strong reaction out of the Midoriyas.
"Well…" began AllMight prepared for what's next.

Inko couldn't believe it, initially, she wanted to argue and say it was a bad idea. That something else should be tried. But Izuku agreed to it and she knew that he wouldn't budge on it. AllMight had made some decent points. She eventually accepted, after admitting to herself that in the end, it would happen no matter her feelings.
"Alright, I agree." Spoke Inko after she had been silent for almost 20 Minutes.
"Thanks, mom." Spoke Izuku hugging his mom.
"Your welcome sweetie." Respond Inko squeezing her boy.
"With that decision made, I just wanted to bring up one more thing." Spoke AllMight breaking up the small family's moment.
"Young Midoriya, I believe it would be best if you kept that relationship of yours a secret at least until AFO is defeated. you wouldn't want him discovering…" Spoke AllMight before his pupil cut him off.
"What! How do you know about that?!" Asked Izuku in a panic and a blush exploded onto his face. This conversion was a bit of a surprise to the other adults in the room.
"You let it slip when you called me for date advice the other day." informed AllMight, leaving the teen cursing himself for the slip.
"Wait, my baby has a girlfriend! Why didn't you tell me!? Is it one of the girls from your class isn't it! Is it that nice Kendo girl?" Spoke Inko practically interrogating her son. If Izuku wasn't embarrassed before he certainly was now.
"What no, I?" Started Izuku but his mother in her excitement cut him off.
"Oh then is it Pony, you two seem to be close. No, it's that nice Yanagi girl, isn't it? That would explain why she wanted me to teach her some of my recipes tomorrow. She must want to cook your favorites. My Baby Boy is Growing Up!" yelled Inko Tears of joy gathered in her eyes as she pulled him into a crushing hug. Izuku decided to just tell her.
"Mom! Listen. Yes, I am dating Reiko, but I'm also dating Pony. they're s-sharing me." Spoke Izuku breaking the hug. But grabbing his mother's shoulders so she would look at him. Inko's eyes widened at his words and she did exactly what Izuku expected.
Inko fainted muttering something that sounded like grandbabies as her body went limp, held up by her son's arms.
"The Kid has got some luck, doesn't he?" Stated Andy, with a chuckle.
" From what I hear, You're one to talk." Commented Gran Torino offhandedly watching as AllMight helped Izuku lay his mother down on the couch she was seated on.
"What? how did you… Nezu!" Started Andy. before turning to glare at his brother who wasn't even trying to hide his amusement.
"Izuku, I will not tell you to shun romance, as that would be stupid given your hormones and the unhealthy consequences caused by a lack of affection. I do however believe we should talk about possible dangers and risks this might pose to all involved." Spoke Nezu seriously causing the blushing teen to gulp.

Inko was happy as she prepared to teach one of her sons' girlfriends her recipe. The single mother hummed happily as she moved about the kitchen. Gran Torino sat on the couch watching the news. A large stack of moving boxes sat in the corner. Inko planned to start packing the lighter objects after she was done with Yanagi then Gran would bring her to UA where she'd sleep and then return tomorrow with the Vice Principal to get the heavy stuff.
She knew that Izuku should be in the middle of his training right about now.
Cut to Izuku fighting a small army of ballistic gel and Crash test dummies covered in sweat and bits of ballistic gel along with fake blood.
She hoped he was doing well.
*Ring*
"Oh, that must be Yanagi. She's right on time." Spoke Inko glancing at a clock on the wall.
"Hold on a moment." Spoke Gran Torino, causing Inko to pause. The veteran checked his phone which connected to a small camera he'd placed above the door when they had arrived.
"It appears you have extra guests, more of Izuku's Classmates. You can get the door. I have a feeling I ain't going to taste anything today." Spoke Gran Torino, muttering out the last part.
Inko opened the Door to find Yanagi, Pony, Camie, Kendo, and Setsuna on her doorstep.
"Hello, . We're sorry for intruding unannounced, can we please come in?" Asked Kendo, speaking on behalf of the group.
"That's quite alright, please come in." Spoke Inko stepping aside so the girls could enter.
"Is there a reason you all decided to join us? if it's to join in our cooking session you should have told me so I could prepare more stuff." Spoke Inko as the girls entered the conjoined kitchen living room.
"No, we wanted to…" Started Kendo, only to pause as she and the other girls noticed the old man standing in the living room dressed in a hero costume.
"Why hello there. Who are you?" asked Gran Torino leaning more heavily on his cane as he pretended to shake like a leaf.
"We are Izuku's classmates from UA." Explained Kendo politely. Torino nodded along like he understood what they said.
"Who's Izuku?" asked Gran Torino, acting like he was genuinely confused.
'Man I love this cynical old Yoda act. It's always funny.' thought Gran Torino keeping the charade going.
"He's a classmate. Your grandson right?" Spoke Setsuna, guessing that the old-timer was Izuku's grandpa. The old man had to stop himself from breaking character at that comment, so he ended up staring at them for a few moments, before speaking again.
"Why hello there. Who are you?" Spoke Gran Totrnio glad that Inko hadn't called him out.
"Fam I think grandpops isn't all there." Commented Camie quietly, a little sad for the old time. But did Izuku ever mention living with his grandpa?
"Please don't mind him. So you were saying." Spoke Inko feeling that Torino has had enough fun.
"Yes, we wanted to talk to you about Izuku." Spoke Kendo
"Izuku, what about him?" Asked Inko, not sure where this was going.
"We're positive he was bullied in middle school and even earlier than that." Spoke Senstuna dropping the news.
'I knew it.' thought Inko she always suspected there was something wrong. There were times when her baby came home walking funny, or with his uniform torn or dirty. She remembered how first aid kits were missing bandages and supplies. She tried to talk to him but he always explained it away as him getting hurt running around looking for hero fights. She had tried to get him to open up. But the more questions she asked the more the less he talked.
She had tried talking to the school directly. But they chalked it up to horseplay with friends. She knew better but with no proof and he son not talking. The school dismissed her concerns. She had told her concerns to Mitsuki, her oldest friends had promised to get her son to keep an eye on Izuku and watch over him. After that, some things seemed to stop…
"Yeah and what's worse is Bakugo is in the hero course." commented Pony. Inko's train of thought derailed at that comment.
"Yeah, the angry Pomporianinan is such a jerk." Added Camie.
"What do you mean.?" Asked Inko in a serious tone not wanting to believe it.
"Bakugo is the one who has been bullying Izuku for a long time." Spoke Setsuna seriously
"Here I think you should watch this." spoke Kendo passing her phone with the video already pulled up.
'That's one of the boys Bakugo and Izuku use to be friends with when they were younger.' thought Inko recognizing the boy. The girls waited while Inko watched the video. When she finished a malevolent aura was wafting off the matriarch. The mother felt not just anger but betrayal that her godson was the source of her baby boy's torment.
"If you girls would excuse me for a moment." Spoke Inko, her tone cold enough to freeze hell over, as she made her way to the house phone.
"Mitsuki, we need to talk about your son. Please meet me at UA right now.' Spoke Inko into the Phone, not even waiting for a reply as she hung up and dialed a different number.
"Principal Nezu I am heading back to UA. May we have a meeting when I return, we need to speak about Bakugo. Once again she didn't wait for a reply as she hung up and walked back over to the girls.
"We are sorry for ruining your day." Spoke Pony
"We couldn't just stand by without doing something." Commented Kendo.
"We felt it necessary to inform you of the situation after we had obtained suitable evidence." added Yanagi. Inko shook her head no.
"It's ok, I appreciate you girls telling me. Thank you so much for looking out for my son." Spoke Inko sincerely.
"You welcome, mamadoriya, Izuku wouldn't hesitate to have our back. We gotta return the favor." Spoke Camie sincerity in her tone.
"I am sorry for arranging this under false pretenses, . But I do wish to conduct this activity with you at a more opportune time. I shall also forward the record Setsunsa was able to obtain." Spoke Yanagi feeling a bit bad for her deception.
"It's ok Yanagi. We can find some time for it later. Right now I want to put this all away and head to UA." Spoke Inko.
"We can help you put all this stuff away and go with you. We have to return to campus anyway." offered Setsuna, the other girl more than willing to help.
"No thank you. You girls can go ahead. I'd like some time to think." Spoke Inko turning down the girl's offer. Taking the hint the girls started to excuse themselves as they moved to the entrance to grab their shoes and leave.
Yanagi and Pony paused when they felt something pulling on their clothes. They turned around and Inko gave them the best smile she could muster at the moment before she pulled the girls into a brief hug.
"Thank you two for dating my little Izuku."Stared Inko as she broke the hug. Her words caused Pony's and Yanagi's eyes to widen in surprise.
"Not how I wanted this to go. But we can talk some other time. You should catch up with your friends." Spoke Inko. Both girls said farewell and moved to catch up with the other girls.
Inko started putting away all the ingredients she had ready. Gran Torino had enough wisdom not to say anything. The old man simply turned the TV off and helped Inko put away her ingredients.
After everything was set the pair left for UA, not a word spoken between them
