Izuku got up for the next day of class and rode the train as usual, except this time instead of just Jirou sitting near him a lot of 1-A came over to talk to him. It was surprising how quickly he seemed to be making friends, something he had a terrible time of at his old school. This day the front gates were surrounded by the press who seemingly got wind that All Might was teaching at U.A.
Izuku managed to sneak past the group at a high speed, unnoticed by the reporters and thus not bothered.
The day continued as normal until just before lunch, Aizawa was giving his report to the 1-A class based on what All Might had written. "Now before you all go to lunch, you'll need to choose class representatives."
"So how should we do this," Iida asked.
"I nominate Midoriya for class president," Uraraka excitedly said.
"Wait, we haven't even decided how we want to vote," Izuku tried to protest.
"I second that idea," Jirou added.
"Here," Kirishima raised his hand along with the two other girls. "Dude's manly as hell."
"But I don't even want," Izuku started to say, however more of the class started to voice their affirmation for Izuku to be the class president, that he had been drowned out.
"I think that's a good amount," Momo said as she clapped for Izuku. "Congratulations class president."
"Great," Izuku groaned. "How about you be class vice-president," he said quickly, hoping he could just step down and pass the role onto her.
"Re-really, me," Momo said in confusion as she had hoped to be chosen but didn't expect to be picked that quickly.
"Yeah, you seem really excited for it," Izuku sighed as he hoped the lunch bell would ring soon.
"Are you ready Tomura," Kurogiri asked as they approached the gate.
"Yes, it's the perfect time, with the teachers distracted by their lunch, we should get in unnoticed" Shigaraki said as he walked up to the gate, moments later an obnoxious noise rang through out the school.
"What the hell is that," Izuku shouted above the noise.
"That's the perimeter alarm," Iida responded. "It means someone's gotten onto the campus."
Izuku quickly started to look around the building using his x-ray vision. "There," he pointed to a wall as he didn't recognize either as one of the U.A. staff, nor were the pair wearing school uniforms. "They're using a computer," he said as he floated off the ground. "Yaoyorozu, get the students to calm down, I'm going to see who these people are."
"Right," Momo nodded as she made a megaphone to address the panicking students.
"Who are you two?" Izuku asked as he opened the door to see a man with steel-gray hair and a dismembered hand on his face, along with a man who seemed to be made of smoke.
"How did you find us so quickly," Tomura asked as he reached behind him to grab the sheet of paper.
"Lucky guess," Izuku replied. "Now answer my question." He said as he took a step forward.
"Sorry kid," Tomura chuckled as he slipped into Kurogiri's warp gate. "Maybe next time."
"Dammit," Izuku swore as he saw the mist disappear into itself. "I'll need to go find a teacher."
"Senseis," Izuku called out as he quickly glided across the lawn towards Aizawa and Present Mic. "I found the intruders but they got away."
"Nooooo," Present Mic said in confusion. "We found the intruders, they're right here." He pointed at the two reporters who had snuck onto the campus.
"Sir," Izuku said as he turned to Aizawa who took what Izuku was saying more seriously as he described the pair and what one of them could do.
"Interesting," Aizawa scratched his chin. "Good catch, I'll talk with Nezu later about what they wanted and what they were doing here. Go back to your class and tell them to head back to the 1-A room," he instructed as Izuku flew off to gather his classmates.
"Woah," the reporter said as she watched Izuku fly into the sky. "Can we get an interview with him," she asked as she pointed to the departing student.
"No," Aizawa responded. "Get out of here Ms. Lane before I call the cops."
"Grr, fine Mr. Eraser. Butt. Head. Man, come on Jimmy we'll go find another story," Lois said as she stormed off across the lawn.
The short redheaded young man gave a nervous grin before running after his partner.
Izuku and his class waited a bit for Aizawa to return. "Classes are ending early today," Aizawa said as he entered the room. "Midoriya, good catch seeing who broke into the school, your doing a good job of taking your role as Class President seriously," he said in appreciation as it was entirely possible that the culprits might not have been seen had Izuku not found them, slowing down any investigation.
"Amazing pres," Kirishima said excitedly as the class walked down to the train station together. "Is there anything you can't do?"
"Seriously, you're fast, strong, tough, can see through walls, shoot lasers out of your eyes," Iida listed off. "It's almost inhuman."
"Pfft," Sero chuckled. "What would that make him then, some kind of god?"
"Bwahaha," Mina wiped a tear from her eyes. "Maybe he's an alien or something," she jokingly said as she whistled the X-Files theme.
Izuku tried to laugh off the guesses, but he'd not been used to good natured teasing, even if he knew his classmates meant well, the topic was coming a little too close to the truth for his comfort. "I uh, just you know, eat my vegetables one leg at a time," he awkwardly said.
The class looked puzzled before most of them busted out laughing at the strange mashup of phrases. "This guy gets it," Kaminari happily said.
However a few took notice of his behavior. "I wonder what's bothering him," Jirou wondered as she heard his heart rate rise.
Bakugo on the other hand was seething. "Something about you Deku, I'm going to figure it out, even if I have to beat it out of you," he swore as he followed the group from behind.
"Sensei," Shigaraki said to the static filled television screen. "I got the schedule, except there was a complication a student saw us," he reported.
"Unfortunate, but not impossible either," the voice on the monitor replied. "There was always a chance that someone might notice two extra people, with how many quirks are in the building, we took a gamble getting this information, but they won't be able to plan around what we can do with it."
"Of course Sensei," Shigaraki nodded. "So when is the time we strike."
"Hard and fast, do not give them enough time to prepare, this Friday has the first off campus class with All Might, that will be the perfect time to take him out," the voice answered.
"I'll gather as many npc's as needed to distract," Shigaraki said as he left the bar.
"So they took a class schedule," Nezu hummed.
"Yes, after Midoriya came and told me of the people I had Power Loader do a scan of the equipment, seems they took a list of classes that All Might is teaching," Aizawa reported.
"Which means I am the target," All Might surmised. "Should we change the schedule?" he asked.
Nezu pondered for a moment. "No, while there is a chance this is nothing more than an overeager and creative fan who wishes to meet you, it is far more likely to be sinister," Nezu explained. "As such we will keep it the same, for this week, if nothing happens then the plan is for later on to which we can make the information useless by changing what we do. If we did so now, they would never trust any information they gain from us making it harder to lead them along."
"Sir doesn't that put the class potentially in danger should they choose to attack at the USJ then?" Present Mic asked.
"Possibly, but if they have a plan for All Might, I wonder what should happen if they were confronted again by an alien," Nezu smirked.
"Are you planning on using Young Midoriya as bait?" All Might gasped.
"Of course not, bait would imply they were coming for him," Nezu denied. "No, but with your weakening state, Mr. Midoriya offers us a unique opportunity. To test they capabilities against one of our strongest assets, without risking you falling into whatever plan they may be preparing for."
"That's a little cold sir," Midnight said worriedly.
"Maybe, but we need answers and Mr. Midoriya may possibly be the only way to get them without endangering anyone else, as I highly doubt they would be prepared for someone of his caliber," Nezu shrugged.
The rest of the week was fairly quiet as the students went about their day, they were getting acclimated to the different subjects and all the new teachers, so they were excited to be told on Friday that they would be having a special class dedicated to rescue based tactics at an offsite facility.
"Midoriya," Aizawa whispered up at the front of the bus, knowing that with his super hearing the teen would have no problems listening to him. "The principal thinks this class will be attacked today as a means of getting at All Might, be on the look out for problems, we don't need to cause a panic, but you are the first line of defense against them, blink three times if you understand."
Izuku slowly closed his eyes three times to respond. He hadn't been expecting that to be said to him. Slowly shaking his head he looked back to the students who were in various conversations, unaware that a second person had heard the entirety of instructions.
"Why is Aizawa putting so much responsibility on a first-year student," Jirou thought curiously. "I know he's powerful, but if they think there is such a threat, why not just have more teachers or even a few extra pro's on hand, unless, they're also testing him. But why would they want to do that?" she wondered as the bus pulled up to the large building.
As most of the students excitedly looked around at the place they would train, Izuku kept looking around the area hoping to see or possibly hear anything, after only seeing one person with a set of binoculars watching them from a distance, he made sure not to stare directly at the person, lest he gave himself away. But now he knew some criminal element was present as that person was not any of the U.A. staff, even outside of costume he'd know what they looked like.
So as he looked at the facility itself, he could see that there were close to one hundred people all scattered throughout the different zones. Seeing this Izuku's first instinct was to tell everyone and have the lesson called off, but he also knew that they'd know nothing about these people should they pull out now. Internally he was having a deep conflict about what would be the best, when he felt someone gently tap his arm.
"You know we're being watched don't you," Jirou whispered as she moved closer to Izuku.
"Yeah, how did you," Izuku whispered back.
"I can hear pretty good too," Jirou answered quietly, hoping not to draw anyone into the conversation.
"Oh, right," Izuku remembered that he wasn't the only one with enhanced hearing in the class. "And it's not just that, the building is filled with villains," he added on. "I don't know how they got in, but I think it has to do with one of the villains I saw the other day."
"So what's the plan," Jirou asked as the class started to enter the building.
"I, I don't know, I don't want anyone to be here if they could get hurt," Izuku sadly said.
"But we also need to know more about them," Jirou finished his sentence.
"Yeah," Izuku sighed.
"Go with your gut," Jirou shrugged. "If you think you can take on all the bad guys and whatever else they have planned, then stay quiet, but if you don't, speak up. No one will be mad at you for choosing our class's safety." Izuku nodded at the advice and made up his mind.
"Sir," Izuku called out. "We need to go, now," Izuku said firmly.
"What, why?" the class shouted in annoyance.
"Sir, seriously, this place is filled with villains, they are waiting, I don't know for what, but we can't stay here, they are everywhere, please," he pleaded to Aizawa. "I don't think I can fight them all," Izuku said worriedly.
"What is he talking about," Momo turned to her teacher. "Is this true, is this place full of villains?"
"If Midoriya says so, then it probably is," Aizawa sighed. "Class is off, everyone go back to the bus, Midoriya, cover us from behind so no one sneaks up on us," he barked out his orders a bit saddened that they wouldn't get to know anything about the villains but he couldn't fault one of his students for not being up to taking part in the plan, especially if it was just dumped on them suddenly.
"Leaving so soon," Kurogiri asked as he warped in front of the door, blocking the exit. "We had figured that if one student was able to find us so quickly, then he would do so again at the attack," Kurogiri explained as villains came out of the mist to back him up.
"Shit," Aizawa prepared himself to fight.
"Not so face Eraserhead," a villain shouted as she filled the area with smoke from canisters. "Can't let you get your quirk off, boss said that'd be a huge debuff."
Thirteen quickly activated his quirk trying to suck up the obscuring gas but was hit by a few shots from inside the cloud and preferring to shut off the quirk over accidentally sucking up someone, he backed off.
"Interesting tactic," Kurogiri said. "It won't work though, you'd need to." He started to taunt before a loud clap sent a blast of air that dispersed the cloud and sent the canisters flying away, clearing out the area.
"No," Izuku said as he floated above the class.
"Hmm, flight, strength, hearing, strong American features," Kurogiri pondered as he looked up at the child. "Are you perhaps a bastard child of Captain Celebrity? True or not that is irrelevant," Kurogiri said. "We have come too far to be stopped by a mere child and while we didn't expect this, the American hero's powers are no match for our weapon."
"What weapon," Aizawa asked as he carefully watched the villains. Meanwhile the 1-A class had spread out as much as they could when the villains showed up, with those like Bakugo, Kirishima and Sato up front.
"Ah ah ah," Kirigiri taunted. "You'll just have to find out as he's ripping you all to pieces."
As Aizawa activated his quirk, someone set off a flashbang to blind him, knowing that when his hair rose were the times he had his eyes open. "Dammit," Aizawa swore as he felt something cold swallow him up.
Izuku blinked the light out of his eyes and saw the last of his classmates fall into the villain's quirk, him being unaffected due to being off the ground. "Grr," Izuku growled as he turned away from the bad guy and started looking around the building.
"Oh I wonder how long it will take you to find their corpses," Kurogiri laughed darkly as the villains he brought up with him joining it with their own sadistic cackles.
"Found them," Izuku declared as he looked through all the walls in the facility to see where his class had been sent to. "You know, you made a mistake," he said with a grin.
"Oh and what's that," Kurogiri paused as he genuinely was confused as to what would cause the student to feel some form of joy at this moment.
"Now I don't have to hide all my powers," Izuku said as he turned and exhaled a freezing cold, capturing all but Kurogiri in a block of ice.
"What in the," the villain's yellow eyes widened in shock as he watched the young man rocket off into the distance. He shook off the surprise and warped back to Shigaraki who was watching a few of the students struggle to battle the villains in the center of the complex. He needed to report on what could become a minor problem.
"It's been five minutes," Nezu nodded to the rest of the room. "Aizawa has not pushed the button as instructed, head to the USJ," he commanded to the UA staff who were waiting for the principal's instructions.
