As I approached UA's campus I was met with a crowd of reporters flocking at the gate. They were quick to rush me with questions about All Might and his teaching skills. I had to make a decision; to either activate my quirk and walk through them, pushing everyone out of my way, or I could politely answer her question just encase this actually aired and could somehow affect my future. Deciding to be polite, I flashed a smile.

A reporter shoved a mic in my face as I excused my way politely through the crowd, "What's it like having the number one hero as your teacher??!??"

"It is nothing but a privilege to learn the ins and outs of being a hero by the Symbol of Peace.", I smiled and kept walking. Knowing that five more steps they couldn't touch me, I would be home free.

Today's class began with Aizawa critiquing both Izuku and Katsuki's performances from yesterday's battle. Everything he said were things they already knew, but I'm glad that he made a point to say these things himself.

"Miyake.", I was snapped from my thoughts by Aizawa calling my name.

I straightened in my seat, "Yes, sir?"

"Control your emotions. Your little outburst was also among the footage. I expect better from you."

Fuck. I quickly bowed my head, "I am sorry for my behavior. I will not let it happen again.", I knew it was a lie, but I just couldn't get caught next time.

"Good, now lets get back to business. Our next task will decide your future.", the room shifted into an even more serious tone, wondering what was next in our path. "You all need to pick class representatives.", everyone gave a hefty exhale at the typical school activity.

Their ease turned to a campaign trail, everyone exclaiming and asking for their classmates' votes. It was decided, after being suggested by Iida, that we would vote democratically. We were passed slips of paper and asked to write down the name of our chosen classmate. As I looked around at the entire class in front of me I realized I had no idea who I was going to vote for. I also didn't want to risk voting for myself and winning, because I knew if Izuku didn't vote for himself he would vote for me. With a sigh I made the easiest decision to just vote for him.

After the results were all pulled together, it showed that Izuku had three votes and that Yaoyorozu has two.

"Okay you idiots, who voted for him??!?", Katsuki screamed from his seat.

My eyes wondered to two out three people who had zero votes, Iida and Uraraka. Todoroki, who also had zero votes, would never vote for Izuku. I couldn't help but smile to myself, even though Iida wanted the win he still didn't vote for himself. Looking at the board I saw that I myself had a vote, meaning I was right about Izuku voting for me. I'm glad I ended up not voting for myself, I wouldn't want them to try and force me into a position because I tied with Yaoyorozu.

Izuku and Yaoyorozu stood in the front of the classroom facing us. He couldn't help but quack in his boots, nervous about his new appointment. Soon after elections followed lunch in UA's grand cafeteria. After waiting in line and retrieving my lunch tray, I scanned the room trying to figure out where to sit. Sitting at a table towards the center of the room was Izuku with Uraraka and Iida. I took a step in their direction, but was stopped when I felt a pair of eyes boring holes into me. When I turned I was met with Katzuki's red stare, angry that I hadn't immediately seen him.

Instead of walking over I rolled my eyes and continued towards Izuku. Katsuki has yet to redeem himself since almost killing Izuku in training. Of course, I knew he would never outright apologize, but I was still waiting for his gesture that said 'I knew it was wrong, and I'm sorry.' I refused to give into him and his demands, even though I did feel bad that he was currently sitting by himself.

As I reached my intended table and plopped down next to Izuku, I picked up the end of the conversation they were having.

"Wait, you were one of the three?", Izuku asked Iida.

"Wasn't it obvious to you?", I picked up my chopsticks and some rice, "They both had zero votes, besides Todoroki."

He started a nervous sweat, "I didn't even realize that."

Uraraka smiled at me, "Miyake, did you vote for yourself??"

"No actually,", I looked at Izuku as he put it together right then and there, "I'm Izuku's third vote." I nudged him with my elbow, "I knew if he didn't vote for himself he would vote for me, and I had to make sure I wasn't elected into a position."

Iida stoped eating for a moment, "You prevented yourself from being given the position? Why would you do that?"

"Not everyone wanted to be a class rep.", I shrugged.

"Didn't you want to be class rep, Iida? I mean, you do look the part since you wear glasses.", Uraraka asked.

"Wanting a job and being suited for it are quite different things. Observing the Iida Family Hero Agency has taught me that much.", he clarified.

"Agency?", Izuku and Uraraka asked together.

Izuku pressed, "Hold on, what does your family do?"

"Oh uh,", Iida stuttered, "It's nothing."

"You know, i've been wondering something about you,", Uraraka started, "Admit it, Iida, you're filthy rich!"

"I was afraid people would treat me differently if they knew about my family...", he heavily sighed, "You see, the Iidas have been pro hero's for generations, it runs in our blood."

"What?!? That's awesome!!", Uraraka and Izuku screamed.

"Are you familiar with the turbo engine hero, Ingenium?", Iida asked.

Izuku practically leapt out of his seat, "I know all about him!! He's a super popular pro with sixty five side kicks working along side of him at his Tokyo agency!!", he paused, "Don't tell me-"

Iida stood from the table and struck and prideful pose, "He's my older brother!"

"He's super famous!", Uraraka excitedly squeals.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!", Izuku screams.

Meanwhile I just continued to eat my lunch, watching the entire conversation unfold. It's not that I felt this conversation was a waste of time- it was already things I had pieces together without it being laid out for me. I would have been an idiot if I didn't recognize the Iida family name and it's importance.

Iida continued, "Ingenium is an unmatched commander who honors the hero code. As the second oldest Iida son, I strive to be just like him.", he smiled to himself, "However, I think it might be a bit soon for me to be in a real leadership role." He pointed his smile then towards Izuku, "You figured out what the judges were looking for in the practically exam."

Both of them were caught in awe by his words until Uraraka chose to cut into it, "That's the first time I've seen you smile, Tenya!! You should do it more."

"What are you talking about? I smile all the time!", Iida defended.

"Uh, wait... about the practical exam-", Izuku started.

Suddenly an alarm went off, "Warning, level three security breech. Please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion.", spoke an feminine voice over the intercom.

Around me students began ditching their lunches and bolting towards the exit. Iida, Uraraka, and Izuku were already making their way to supposed safety, so I went to follow. By the time I reached the exit they had been swallowed and dispersed among the sea of students. I attempted to make my way through it, but kept getting shoved around until I was being pressed flat against the window.

I could feel my anxiety start to jump as I tried to pace my breathing. If I couldn't cope in the panic my quirk would start to go off, which uncontrolled could potentially kill everyone around me. The harder it became to catch my breath the more I felt my body shaking against the window pane fighting off its instincts to propel everyone away from me. My legs felt as if they were going to give out at any moment from under me. I squeezed my eyes shut and continued to hyper ventilate until I felt someone press themselves against my back.

"Miyake, are you okay?", spoke the voice from behind me.

"I-", I took a labored breath, "I-I can't", another heaving, "breathe".

I felt their body harden against mine and then realization hit me; it was Kirishima. "It's okay, I've got you." His rock hard body took most of the pushing from me, but there was still a lot of push back on the both of us. He seemed to realize that even though my breathing was slowing it wasn't going to be enough. "Hey, this might be kinda weird... but can you turn to face me?"

Without much hesitation I listened to him, I could barely think for myself right now. After I turned, he quickly did as well so we were face to face and no longer back to back. His hands were now pressed against the window behind us, and his arms were raised above me. My body fit under the arch way his was making around me. "Sorry about the position, it was harder to lean forward when I was facing them- and I didn't want to press into you from behind." He gave me a quick shy smile and then looked behind him at the crowd. "Everything will be okay soon."

I kept my eyes tightly shut as I nodded at him, "Thank you.", I almost whispered.

We continued to wait there like that until Iida relaid to everyone that there was no actual threat. Media outlets and reporters somehow managed to get their way beyond the school gates. Once the threat was neutralized, everyone began to calmly make their way back to the lunch room. Kirishima and I continued to stand until most of the crowd had scattered.

When he pulled his arms back towards himself and stood upright, I had realized I was clutching onto his shirt. I snapped my eyes opened and gasped at my lack of self awareness.

"I'm so sorry-", I began.

He looked down at me, unbothered, "Are you alright?"

My breathing was almost back to normal, and my legs felt a little unstable but were okay enough for me to support myself. I gave him a quick nod and that prompted him to take a step away from me.

"Sorry I couldn't think of any other way to help you.", he began to rub the back of his neck, "My only thought was to put myself between you and the pushing."

"Don't be sorry.", I shock my head, "I'm not sure what else you could've done.", I looked him directly in the eyes, "Thank you, Kirishima. If it weren't for you I don't know what I would've done."

"Eijiro.", he smiled and then shot his hand out for me to shake.

I grasped it and gave it a firm squeeze, "Thank you, Eijiro.", I then smiled, "Don't be afraid to call me Aiya then."

"Hey losers!", our heads snapped in the direction of the voice still holding hands,"What the fuck is that about?", Katsuki's eyes shifted to our hands, still together.

He slipped his hand from mine and used it to rub the back of his neck, "It's nothing, I just-"

"Eijiro helped me from being trampled by the stampede.", I cut in, "Without him I don't know what would have happened."

Katsuki sucked his teeth, "Whatever.", I rolled my eyes, "Don't be so helpless anymore."

I put my hands on my hips and puffed out air, "No need to but in if you're just going to be mean about it.", a smirk formed on me face, "Thanks for checking to see if I was okay though, it's nice to know you care."

He immediately grew angry at my words, "I don't fucking care about you-"

Eijiro slung his arm around my shoulder and pulled me to him with a huge grin on his face, "Bakugo, that's so sweet of you to look after your friend like that!", he winked and gave him a thumbs up, "I kept her safe and sound!"

Katsuki balled up his fists, "I don't give a shit about her! I could care less if she were to get hurt!" The longer he looked at us in our friendly pose, the more I could see the jealous poke through his eyes.

I slipped out from Eijiro's arm and walked towards Katsuki and started pulling his forearm along with me. He immediately ripped himself from my grasp, "Come on already, we have to get to class now!". I looked behind me and saw that Eijiro was walking right behind me, and Katsuki a little behind him.

Katsuki talking to us after the commotion was the closest I was going to get to an apology from him. I would wordlessly accept it and move on from the situation, but I wouldn't do this every time anymore. He's a big boy and knows how to use his words- next time he will apologize to me whether he likes it or not.

While we walked towards the classroom, I couldn't help but wonder how the reporters got through the gates. It was no secret about UA's top security. No one without a pass or special clearance could make it through without being crushed by the gate's defense. So just how did they do it? It also didn't make sense that they would go as far as hacking the system to dismantle it just to get a glimpse of All Might in his teacher position. But, who knows? People are crazy about him and getting their story, they would go to insane lengths to get it.

Returning to class we had gotten right to business. Izuku gave his rep title to Iida, who graciously accepted it. Afterward Aizawa informed us that we would be doing hero training at an outside facility and would need to travel by bus to the location. We were instructed to put on our hero costumes and meet outside, which is where the entire class currently was. I was sitting on a bench tying my shoe laces when Iida began yelling instructions on how we should board the bus. Instead we all just boarded normally.

I sat next to Katsuki, who was looking out the window, and listened to the conversations happening around me.

"The buses open layout completely ruined my boarding strategy!", Iida exclaimed, bent over between his knees.

"Iida, you really need to chill.", Mina said.

"If we're stating the obvious then there's something I want to say. About you, actually.", Asui stayed.

"About me?", Izuku stiffened, "What is it, Asui?"

"I told you to call me Tsuyu.", she corrected.

Izuku blushes, "Yeah, right..."

Asui continues, "That power of yours, it's like All Might's."

He immediately started panicking, "What really ?? You really think so???"

"Wait, hold on.", Eijiro cut in, "You're forgetting All Might doesn't hurt himself. That makes a huge difference." Izuku exhaled out of relief, "Still, it's cool to have a flashy quirk. My hardening is super strong and can defeat bad guys in a fight, but it doesn't look all the impressive."

"No way!! I think it's really awesome looking. You're definitely pro material with a quirk like that.", Izuku encouraged.

"Really? I feel like it would be easier to be a popular hero if flashier.", Eijiro thought aloud.

Aoyama smirked, "My navel laser has got the perfect combination of panache and strength."

"But it's way lame if it gives you a stomach ache, sweetie.", Ashido knocked him down a peg.

"Well", Eijiro continued, "If any of our classmates have pro quirks it's Todoroki and Bakugou.", his eyes then locked with him and he grinned, "And Aiya, of course."

I smiled at him, "I don't really think my quirk is very flashy, you can't see it-"

"No,", Eijiro agreed, "It's how you use and demonstrate it that makes it pro hero worthy."

My eyebrows furrowed, "What do you mean?"

"Everything you do with your quirk is so effortless! It's almost like second nature for you.", Ashido explained, "And you look so good while doing it!" I felt a small blush on my face begin to form.

"She's right, Aiya-chan!", Izuku agreed, "Whenever you use your quirk it's hard not to watch!", he smiled at me, "There's no doubt you'll be a popular hero!"

I smiled at him, "Thank you, Izu." I rarely ever called him that, I've never been one for nick names, but then there I wanted to match his innocent kindness with a form of my own. His light blush and a smile told me that he received it.

"But Bakugo could never be a popular hero, he's way to angry all the time.", Asui commented.

Katsuki promptly lunges forward, gripping the bar in front of us, "What did you say?!?!!! I'll kick your ass !!", he raged at her.

"See?", Tsuyu concludes.

I grabbed his forearm and pulled him back into the seat next to me as Kamanari spoke up, "We basically just met you, so it's kinda telling that we all know your personality is flaming crap next to the garbage."

Katsuki was seething next to me, and as his grip on the bar tightened, so did mine on his arm. "If it wasn't for the darling little friend next to you constantly speaking for you, I'm not sure we would put up with it at all.", Aoyama smiled, "Without Miyake's charming presence always diluting your blistering out bursars, there would be no saving grace."

Katsuki shot out of his seat again, "SHE'S NOT CHARMING WHAT SO EVER! I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU REGRET THE DAY YOU APPLIED TO THIS SCHOOL, YOU FUCKING LOSER!"

"Katsuki!", I tugged in him hard, "Stop fucking proving their point if you hate it so much!"

"Oh shut up, who asked you?!!", he turned to me and then ripped his arm out of my grasp, "Stop clinging onto me-"

I crossed my arms, "I wasn't clinging and you know it, now sit down before-"

"Hey, hey!", we all silenced at Aizawa's call, "We're here. Stop messing around."

We filed off of the bus and we met by the pro space hero No. 13. Many of my classmates were in awe, and though I was well aware of who the hero was, being in their presence was a different story.

"I can't wait to show you what's inside!", they spoke to us leading us into the building.

The Unforeseen Simulation Joint, USJ for short, was where we would be having our training session. The class couldn't help but find the similarities between this and the amusement park, Universal Studies Japan. There were different stations for different disasters; a shipwreck, landslide, fire, windstorm, and many other locations.

While the teachers discussed All Might's absence between themselves, I began to grow excited about what our training will bring. It was easier to utilize my quirk in combat situations over ones that demanded me to be on the defensive. This would be a great learning experience for me.

"Clock's ticking,", my thoughts were cut off by Aizawa, "We should get started."

"Excellent! Before we begin let me just say one thing... wait two things- possibly three, four, or five...", No. 13 continued on. They gave us a big speech on how it is important to recognize the strength our quirks have, and their affects, They could easily be used to kill instead of protect if we weren't careful. It was a scary realization to make, one I'm sure some of my classmates had never considered before. "That is all I have to say,", they bowed to us, "Thank you for listening."

"Right, now that that's over-", Aizawa begin.

Suddenly all of the lights were cut out, and below us a purple warping portal at the water fountain appeared. I took steps from the back of the class towards the front, trying to see what was going on. I watched as a man with blue hair covered in human hands stepped out from it as it expanded.

"Stay together and don't move!", Aizawa instructed, "No. 13, protect the students!"

"What is that thing?", Eijiro asked from behind me as more people, villains, walked out from the portal. "The training started already? I thought we were rescuing people-"

"Don't be so naive.", I spat, "This isn't apart of the training." My heart began to beat so loud that I felt the pulsing in my ears.

I went to take a step further, "Stay back!", Aizawa snapped. I watched as he put his goggles over his eyes, "This is real, those are villains."
