Heroing 101


She sighed as she walked alongside Fumikage. He looked at her.

"What's wrong?" She rubbed her arm.

"Nothing… I just wasn't expecting Aizawa to do that to us, on the first day." She stared at the entrance.

"Well, they want to push us to get stronger… we have to start expecting stuff like this to happen unexpectedly.." She was about to say something when she heard Uraraka call out.

"Hey! You guys going to the station too?!" She turned to see her running up to Iida and Midoriya. She looked back at Fukimage who only shook his head. She nodded, he shook his head. This went on for a bit before she just grabbed his arm and started dragging him over to the group.

"Hey guys!" When she reached the group, she finally let go of her iron grip on Fukimage and he grumbled.

"Hey Yamiyo! Whats up?" She smiled.

"We were wondering if we could walk with you guys since we're heading to the station as well!"

"You were wondering.." she heard Fukimage grumble. She smacked him on the arm.

"Sure!" Midoriya nodded. They all started walking to the gate, Fukimage seeming grumpy, but Dark Shadow lightened the mood a bit when he came out of Fukimage's back and startled Iida enough to make him jump. Yamiyo laughed along with Uraraka and Midoriya. Although today was stressful.. She was hoping the next day wouldn't be too much for her to handle.

"Now, which one of these sentences contain a mistake?" The students remained quiet.

"Look alive people! Grammar rules!" Yamiyo raised her hand, along with Yaoyorozu. "Lay it on us!" Present Mic pointed to Yaoyorozu.

"The relative pronoun is wrong in the fourth sentence." Yaoyorozu answered simply. She smiled, At least someone knows this stuff!

"This white rice is good!" Uraraka exclaims while taking another bite. Yamiyo nodded, though hers had a lot of meat, she still enjoyed some white rice from time to time.

"Hey Yamiyo?" She turned her head to face Midoriya.

"I don't think I've ever asked you this, but can you eat chocolate and vanilla? I know most animals can't." She nodded and watched him take out a notebook.

"I can eat chocolate and vanilla foods, but I can't eat too much." She rubbed the back of her neck, "It will make me feel gross and nauseous. If I eat way too much I will start to puke and I'll feel disgusting for a few days." She watched him write all the stuff down she said, and she could hear him mumbling, all the people around him sweatdropped. He really has changed a lot…

"I AM HERE!" She shot her head towards the door. "Coming through the door like a hero!" She smiled.

"I can't believe it's really All Might!" Kaminari exclaimed.

"So he is a teacher! This year is going to be totally awesome!" Kirishima shouted.

"Hey, look! Is he wearing his Silver Age Costume?" Tsuyu pointed out as the hero marched to the podium.

"I'm getting goosebumps, it's totally retro!" Ojiro mumbled.

"Welcome to the most important class at UA high! Think of it as heroing 101! Here you will learn the basics of being a pro! And what it means to fight in the name of good!" She watched him move his body as if he was going to throw a punch. "Let's get into it! Today's lesson will pull more punches!" As he said this, he pulled out a red card that said 'BATTLE'.

Combat training…

"But one of the keys of being a hero is.. Looking good!" He pointed to the wall to her left, and the walls extended inwards, displaying shelves of cases with numbers on them. "These were designed for you based on your quirk registration forms, and the requests you sent in before school started!" Everyone started cheering, Yamiyo being one of the people. She did have to lower her ears because of the noise, but it wasn't too bad.

"Get yourselves suited up! And then meet me at training ground beta!"

"Yes sir!"

I don't remember asking for it to be this… tight… She looked at a mirror of herself. Her costume was a two piece. Her crop-top was black with long sleeves that went all the way down to her hands, but the sleeves thinned so they only covered her middle finger. She also wore a white sweater-like thing that ended right above her black crop-top. Connected to it was a hood, for the ears, more fabric was used to cover them. She asked for it to be more soundproof so loud sudden sounds wouldn't hurt them as much. The white hoodie sleeves were cut so they only ended at the end of her shoulders, and there was a deep V-Neck showing off the top of her black crop-top. She wore a pitch black mask that covered her mouth and nose to protect her better from airborne toxins, she still wore an eyepatch over her right eye. Her pants were white, and they were stretchy enough to allow a full range of motion, but they were still tight. (And, she was happy to see that they added a hole around the hips for her tail) Around the shins, there were tiny ripped holes outlined with black. Her black shoes fit tightly around her feet, almost like a sock, she asked for them to be sound absorbing for better stealth. But overall she was happy with the outcome.

She knew that she would be making a lot of adjustments in the future and possibly re-think her entire costume design, but this was good for now.

"You look so good Yamiyo!" She turned her head to see Uraraka standing next to her with a big smile on her face, seeming to have just finished putting her costume on as well. She saw that Uraraka's costume was skin tight, there was a large pink stripe down the middle with two black dots. Her shoes were… rather large. And here was something around her hips, and something similar around her wrists.

"You do too!"

"They did make it a little tight though…" Yamiyo laughed.

"Same with mine!" She noticed that there were very few people left in the changing room.

"We better hurry!" They both raced out of the changing room and made their way to Training Ground Beta.

"They say that clothes make the pros, young ladies and gentlemen, and behold, you are the proof!" Fukimage walked next to her as they made their way through the tunnel. Soon enough, they were standing in the sun, what looked like, a city similar to the one for the practical.

"This is getting me all ramped up! You look so cool! Now, shall we get started? You bunch of newbies!" She smiled as she looked around the sea of students, all wearing their hero costumes. One of which caught her eye. To her, Bakugo looked like a giant grenade.

Well.. that also sums up his personality… she laughed silently to herself.

"Now that you're ready, it's time for combat training!"

"Sir!" A person in white armour raised his hand. That must be Iida under there..

"This is the fake city from our entrance exam. Does that mean we will be conducting urban battles again?" He did have a point. All Might held up two fingers.

"Not quite! I'm going to move you two steps ahead!"

Two steps ahead..?

"Most of the villain fights you see on the news take place outside. However, statistically speaking, run-ins with the most dastardly evil doers take place indoors. Think about it! Backroom deals, home invasions, secret underground lairs." Yamiyo lowered her head to look at the ground. If anyone in class 1-A knew anything about underground lairs and such, it would be Yamiyo."Truly intelligent villains stay hidden in the shadows. For this training exercise, you will be split into teams of Heroes and Villains and fight two on two indoor battles!"

"Isn't this a little advanced?" Tsuyu spoke up.

"The best training is what you get on the battlefield! But remember, you can't just punch a robot this time! You're dealing with actual people now!"

"Sir, will you be the one deciding who wins?" Yaoyorozu asked.

"How much can we hurt the other team?" She sweatdropped at Bakugo.

"Do we need to worry about the losers getting expelled like earlier?" Uraraka asked nervously.

"Will you be splitting us up on chance or comparative skill?" Iida still had his hand raised.

"Isn't this cape très chic?" Never mind.. She sweatdropped at everyone.

"Urk! I wasn't finished talking!" All might pulled out a little book of paper.

A script..?

"Listen Up! The situation is this… the villains have hidden a nuclear missile somewhere in their hideout, the heroes must try to foil their plans. To do that, the heroes either have to catch the evil doers, or recover the weapon. Likewise, the bad guys succeed if they protect their payload or capture the heroes." All Might pulled out a yellow box that was labeled "Lots" in big bold letters.

"Times limited and we'll choose teams by drawing lots!"

"Isn't there a better way to decide the teams?" Iida asked, he seemed a bit confused.

"If you think about it, in emergencies, heroes have to team up with others on the spot or from different hero agencies. Maybe that's what we're seeing now!" Yamiyo spoke up from behind Iida, a hand on her hip.

"Yes I see… lives full of unexpected occurrences.." Iida bowed low. "Excuse my interruption!" All Might spun around so his huge blue cape was facing the class.

"No sweat! LET'S DRAW!" Yamiyo walked up.

"Wonder what teams we will be on.." She faced Fukimage who only nodded in response. She thought his cape was bland when he passed in his hero costume form, but it seemed even more bland in person. She had asked to help with the design, but he shot her down and said he didn't want anything else that would make him stand out.

Team A: Uraraka and Midoriya

Team B: Shoji and Todoroki

Team C: Mineta and Yaoyorozu (Yamiyo felt bad for Yaoyorozu. The other day, Yamiyo, Uraraka, and Jiro were the last ones to finish changing. And thank god for Jiro's quirk. She caught Mineta before he could peek through the door while they were changing, although this wouldn't have affected Yamiyo as she would change in a stall.)

Team D: Bakugo and Iida Good luck Iida.. She even gave him a pat on the shoulder and a sympathetic look, which she earned a glare from Bakugo.

Team E: Mina and Aoyama

Team F: Kota and Satou

Team G: Kaminari and Jiro

Team H: Tokoyami (Fukimage) and Tsuyu Yamiyo elbowed Fukimage and he punched her arm, she laughed as he grumbled and walked away.

Team I: Ojiro and Hagakure

Team J: Sero and Kirishima

Team K: Yamiyo and….

"Huh… guess I'm the odd one out.." She saw All Might walk up to her and place a huge hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, young Miyako! If you want, you can choose who to team with-"

"Fumikage." She said automatically.

"Eh?" The class deadpanned.

"Fumikage and I have been working together and training together for years. Plus, it may be good to show how much a good relationship with your partner can affect your performance." Yamiyo pointed out. All Might stared at her, seeming to be thinking. His smile grew wider and he flashed her a thumbs up.

"Sounds good to me! After everyone has gone, we will see who would want to compete against you two. I expect you to do well, I hope that I see the same fighter as I saw during the Entrance Exam!" She nodded, relieved that it worked. It's not that she didn't work well with other people, it's just… she didn't trust any of them enough yet to fight alongside her. Let alone watch her back for any incoming attacks. She also wanted to work with Fumikage with this lesson, since she assumes they won't be able to work together alot because their siblings and the teachers would want them to work with other people.

Yamiyo stood off to the side, letting her classmates come up with plans, or… almost all of her classmates. Bakugo kept walking off whenever Iida would try to talk to him or formulate a plan. She let Fumikage and Tsuyu form a plan, as Yamiyo and Fumikage's test was last and Yamiyo didn't want to make Fumikage distracted. She sighed and rejoined the group to watch him choose which teams will be going against each other.

"I declare that the first two teams to fight will be…" he pulled his arms out of the boxes and lifted two balls of reverse colors, one was D, one was A.

"THESE GUYS! Team A will be the heroes! Team D will be the villains!"

Well.. I guess the villain role will suit Bakugo better…

"Everyone else can head to the monitoring room to watch."

"Yes sir." But instead of following the group, she made her way over to Midoriya and placed a firm hand on his shoulder. She looked past him and stared at Bakugo, who was glaring at them. She sent a glare back, and she was smiling under her mask. She patted Midoriya on the shoulder and muttered a 'Good Luck' to him. When she was a good few feet away from them, she spun around and began walking backwards. She cupped her hands around her mouth.

"Oh yeah! Good luck to you too Bakugo!" He glared at her.

"I DON'T NEED LUCK, FLEA BAG!" He called back.

"Sure… sure…" She mumbled while following the group.

This will be interesting… Midoriya always looked up to and followed Bakugo's every move basically. It will be nice to see how they have grown over the years.
