The next day was full of lessons that were normal but taught by the heroes under the morning such as English with Present Mike. Fuka was glad they didn't call her by the nickname 'Firebird' like when she was a kid. It would be really embarrassing and strange to be called that since nobody in her class knew about her relationship with the staff of the school, it's true they call her by her first name but no one asks why though which was a relief. Fuka also started to memorize her classmates' names since the only ones that she personally met were Midoriya, Iida and Uraraka while she knew Bakugo's name thanks to Aizawa earlier. After lunch break, it was the lesson that everyone had waited for, Foundational Hero Studies taught by the number one hero himself.
"I am…" The voice of All Might said behind the giant door to the classroom, getting everyone's attention and some were excited to see the number one hero up close. "...Coming through the door like a normal person." Everyone except Fuka was fanboying about All Might and his costume, but Fuka wasn't so interested and just wanted him to prove his loyalty to the students and as a teacher before she could truly trust him.
'There goes a teacher with a good introduction.' Fuka thought, annoyed.
"I teach Foundational Hero Studies." All Might explained. "It is a subject where you train in different ways to learn the basics of being a Hero. You'll take the most units of this subject! Let's get right into it! This is what we'll do today… Combat Training!"
"Combat…" Bakugo said confidentially.
"...Training." Midoriya said nervously.
"Is he out of his mind?!" Fuka exclaimed quietly.
"And to go with that are these!" All Might continued and out of the wall came shelves that held box compartments which had specific numbers on them for each student. "Costumes made based on your Quirk Registrations and requests you sent in before school started." Everyone was shocked but quickly dismissed it. "After you change, gather in Ground Beta!"
Everyone got up from their seats and took their respective case with their costumes, going to the locker rooms to change.
All the girls except Fuka were chatting among themselves in the locker room. Fuka was lost in thoughts as she was taking off her school uniform and now taking off her shirt which brought Uraraka and Asui Tsuyu's attention.
"Hatori-chan, what's that mark on your back?" Asui asked in wonder as the other girls noticed the mark.
Their attention was on a bird-like mark on the lower part of Fuka's back that was slightly orange in color. It had been there as far as Fuka could remember and might have a connection to her past in some way but not only that, it is a proof of her Quirk.
"Oh, looks like a bird tattoo of some kind." Yaoyorozu guessed as Fuka put on a sleeveless white turtleneck with slightly exposed back but covered the mark and was black around the neck.
"It's a birthmark." Fuka answered as she put on a pair of black shorts with blue stripes on each side, fixing her utility belt in place. "It proves as a symbol of my Quirk and that mark is called the 'Feather of Millennium' or 'Phoenix Feather'."
"I'm impressed it is called that." Jiro Kyoka replied interested.
"Can't wait to see your Quirk, Hatori-san!" Uraraka said excited and the blue eyed girl smiled. "You said it was battle oriented yesterday."
"Oh, that sounds really interesting and cool, Hatori-san!" Ashido Mina said with a huge smile.
"Can you tell us how your Quirk works?!" Hagakure Toru asked excitedly despite the fact that she was invisible and the only thing she wore was a pair of gloves and boots. "You'll have a big advantage today!"
"If you wanna know something that'll help check if I use it. Whenever I use my Quirk, feathers would appear." Fuka explained. "Let's finish changing so we don't come late to class."
"Right!" All the girls agreed happily as they continued changing into their Hero costumes.
After a few minutes, All Might waited for his students to come out together in their new hero costumes at Ground Beta. All Might was standing proudly as he watched the students gathering in front of the entrance to the battle ground.
"That's great, everyone. You all look cool!" All Might said.
Fuka tightened the black and blue gloves on her hands as her Hero costume could only be described as flexible. Over her arms and shoulders was a black jacket, streaks of blue going down her arms and wearing gray thigh high stockings, as well black boots with blue soles. Fuka observed everyone else before following Uraraka, who just noticed Midoriya in his hero costume.
'I'm not so interested in making my costume so extravagant like most people here, all I care about is mobillity. Nothing more.' Fuka said in her head before noticing Midoriya's costume, seeing similarities between his costume and All Might, sweatdropping. 'Midoriya-san really is a fanboy.'
"Nice costume, Midoriya-san." Fuka replied, the said person then blushed in embarrassment at the comment.
"Right?! I wish I had been a bit more specific like you were, Hatori-san." Uraraka pointed out a little embarrassed herself.
"The Hero Course is the best." That was Mineta Minoru, the girls quickly understood that he was an absolute pervert and made sure to stay away from him under the exercises, they had to keep an eye on him. The group then paid their attention to their teacher.
"Sensei! This appears to be the same field used in the entrance exam. Will we once again be performing cityscape manoeuvres?!" Iida asked, telling everyone that he's the one in white armor.
"No, we're going to move ahead two steps! Most of the time fighting villains take place outside but if you look at the total numbers, the most atrocious villains appear indoors at a higher rate." All Might answered. "In this society filled with heroes, truly intelligent villains hide in the shadows. In this class, you will be split into villains and heroes fighting 2 on 2 indoor battles."
'2 on 2, we're an uneven number in this class.' Fuka thought. 'Either the last one gets to choose a partner after all of them are done or one group will be three instead.'
"Without basic training?" Asui asked in confusion.
"This is a real battle to understand those basics." He explained. "However this time, there's no robot you can just beat up."
Everyone started blasting him off with questions, not allowing him to answer said questions. Yaoyorozu`s hand slightly raised, "what determines victory?"
With Bakugo plainly shouting out, "Can I just blast everyone away?!"
Then there was Iida who politely raised his hand asking, "How do we proceed to divide ourselves into teams?"
"Will there be a punishment like with Aizawa-sensei?" Uraraka asked nervously.
Then there was the nonsensical sparkling Aoyama, asking incredulously, "How fabulous is my cape?" His face was directed to All Might.
"I'll answer all your questions!" All might yell. "Now listen here..." All Might pulled out a small booklet and explained to us the rules and instructions of the training exercise.
'But why is he reading from a script?' Fuka asked in her head. 'He definitely isn't prepared for this job.'
"Teams and opponents will be determined by drawing lots!" He announced.
"They're being decided that haphazardly?" Iida protested.
"Pros often have to create makeshift teams with heroes from other agencies. So maybe that's why..." Izuku explained.
"I see...the discernment to look ahead..." Iida thought aloud and bowed to All Might.. "Excuse my rudeness!"
"All Might." Fuka said and raised her hand to get his attention.
"Yes, Young Hatori." All Might answered.
"What about the last lot?" Fuka asked. "We are an uneven number. What are you going to do with that person?"
"Good question! The one who is last drawn will be able to choose a partner of their choosing while I choose their opponent!" All Might answered which got the most excited. "Let's do this quickly!" He randomly picked small pieces of paper with their names on it out of a box. Fuka was last which meant she had to be careful when choosing a partner. "The first teams to fight will be...these guys!" He pulled out two balls with the letters A and D on them. It was Midoriya's team against Bakugo's, this isn't going to be good. "Team A will be the heroes. Team D will be the villains. Everyone else heads to the monitor room."
"Yes sir!" The class replied and headed to the monitor room.
"Good luck!" Fuka said hushed to Midoriya as she walked past him.
Everyone watched the tense match between the group. Everything started out well with Midoriya able to get Bakugo off guard twice in a row, giving an opening for Uraraka to run away to look for the weapon with Iida. However after some time, Bakugo started to do some reckless attacks against Midoriya which got Fuka's only attention as she started to get worried over what is going to happen if it continues. In the end, Uraraka and Midoriya won the fight, however, the green haired boy was badly injured from both his own Quirk and from Bakugo's brutal and reckless attacks as well his costume became completely ruined.
Fuka had no idea that Bakugo would do something like this in training as well as the safety of his opponent. Midoriya was moved to the infirmary to recover as the rest of the class watched sadly at the result of the match.
"He's insane." Fuka mumbled angry, clenching her fist tightly as smoke appeared from her palm.
"I feel bad that Hatori-san might have to fight him." Kaminari pointed out worried.
"Bakugo might be strong and tactical." Fuka said as she glanced back at her classmates. "However, if I were to fight him, he won't be able to hit me a single time."
"Talk about confidence, Hatori." Kirishima said, impressed.
Not long after, the rest came in together with All Might as they all waited for the results.
"Iida was the MVP in this battle!" All Might announced and everyone looked confused at them.
"Not Ochaco or Midoriya?" Asui asked, confused.
"CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY?" All Might voices curiously.
Yaoyorozu raised her hand diligently, "I do All Might sensei. It was because Iida was most able to adapt to the scenario, Bakugou's every action was motivated by a personal grudge, as you said before sensei, 'using destructive attacks indoors is foolish.' Midoriya's performance suffers from the same faults. Uraraka lost focus half way and her final attack was too haphazard... but Iida formed an actual counter strategy." Iida looked funnily touched at her praise.
"Also, Bakugo let his emotions take over the fight instead of doing what the exercise instructed." Fuka continued, lifting up her glasses with her finger. "In a real fight with a villain, that would be resulting in death immediately. Don't let emotions take over you that way."
"A-ALRIGHT! NEXT TEAM IS..." Team B and Team I. Essentially it was Todoroki versus Ojiro.
Unfortunately for Ojiro, Todoroki simply froze the whole complex within a second. Ojiro struggled and his feet got unwittingly frozen to the floor, without harming his ally or the nuclear weapon, Todoroki seemingly managed to immobilise the enemy and the weapon. This ensured an immediate win for the Heroes. His quirk: left side freezes, right side: burns. Son of the second top pro hero, Endeavour, a fiery legend. Teams after that continued to go on.
Fuka heard Todoroki say, "we're in different leagues," as he stood aside.
"SO MISS HATORI," All Might finally used the correct term in front of the other students, "Who will you pick?"
Everyone turned to Fuka, a recommended student who didn't take the normal entrance exam. Her Quirk was mysterious as it could be and even her personality, a student that's been respected by some of their teachers to be called by her first name.
"I would like to partner up with Todoroki," Fuka said calmly.
"Excellent choice!" All Might said and looked around, stopping at Bakugou and Iida, yet still Bakugou retreated his eye focus onto the ground. "You and Todoroki will be against... BAKUGO AND IIDA!" Iida looked in shock, he changed it to a face of determination and pumped his fists. Bakugou 'tsked.'
"Damn! The three top people, versing each other."
"How's Iida gonna Do?"
"What do you think Bakugo will do?"
"They're so unpredictable."
After five minutes of waiting, Fuka and Todoroki sneaked their way into the building. Fuka asked Todoroki to not use his ice on the whole building since she knew that Iida was one of the smartest people she knew and Bakugo was no exception despite his attitude.
"Most likely Bakugo will take the weapon. He's got fiery abilities, they counteract yours. They'll most likely be on offence and concentrate their efforts on defending and evading us." Fuka told him her plan.
"I'll Take Bakugo." Todoroki said and the gray haired girl nodded.
"I'll flank Iida, if not, go straight for the nuclear weapon or separate them from it by dressing a pillar between them."
He nodded at her analysis, and they decided on taking the plan into action. When they reached the floor where they held the nuclear weapon.
Bakugo didn't immediately attack like in the other battle. Whilst Iida waited for Fuka willingly, he tried to intercept her and charge but Fuka dodged it easily without much effort, she had to admit Iida was quite quick but not as fast as her. Fuka seemed to play with Iida a bit by jumping around before she went to the weapon through sprinting towards it with the help of a pillar.
Back to Bakugo and Todoroki. Bakugo immediately grew mad, the frustration leading him to becoming very rash in actions. He sprinted to Todoroki, who frosted the floor underneath him. The fight was interrupted by the horn.
"Hero team… WINS!" All Might announced in the speakers from the surveillance room.
With that Todoroki halted in his actions, he knew it was over and the fight would be futile but Bakugo didn't. His eyes glazed over with rage, his arms were out, prepared to attack. Todoroki couldn't react quickly enough, but Fuka took action. Out of nowhere, Fuka appeared in front of Todoroki calmly with her hand grabbing tightly around Bakugou's arm and all of them noticed that she wasn't wearing her glasses anymore.
"That's enough, Bakugo." Fuka told the rage bomb. "You lost."
However, Bakugo didn't listen and tried to attack Fuka. To the girl, she saw everything in slow motion when he was about to deliver an explosion on her but Fuka's eyes turned bright red and punched hard into Bakugou's chest. In the eyes of the others, everything went by so fast that they didn't know what just happened. Bakugou was sent into a wall on the other side of the room in high speed and luminous orange/red feathers appeared from the orange punch mark in Bakugo's costume.
'When-When did she hit me?!' Bakugo thought in absolute shock as he stared at Fuka, who was still standing normally with her eyes still bright blue as she calmly took out her glasses again to put them on. 'She was just standing there and did nothing!'
Meanwhile in the surveillance room
Everyone was in a great deal of shock over what just happened and the girls noticed the feathers right away, Fuka had just used her Quirk on Bakugo. The battle wasn't long but it wasn't short either and everyone wondered how powerful Fuka really was.
"Woah.." Mineta let out in shock.
Uraraka was wide eyed like everyone else in the room, even All Might was in a state of shock. Unlike all the other teachers in U.A, All Might didn't know about her condition nor relationship to the school and teachers didn't bother to tell him that information since it could ruin their relationship with the group since it was quickly shown that she didn't like the number one hero that much.
'How much combat experience does young Hatori have?' All Might thought.
The door clicked open and in came the contastens, immediately asking Fuka many questions about the fight and Fuka's strange Quirk which the later was ignored since there might be a misunderstanding of it since it wasn't a relatively normal Quirk to begin with. All Might congratulated the hero team and advised Iida on being more aware of the opponent's actions. All Might then told everyone about their good work before running away from the class.
Everyone changed back into their school uniforms and Fuka was getting praise from her classmates before she went to check on Midoriya since Uraraka asked her nicely and was probably the only person who knew how to get around the school building currently out of the class. Fuka had to admit, she was a bit worried about Midoriya's injuries since his match. By the time she arrived, Fuka heard voices inside and she opened the door carefully to see the sight of Recovery Girl talking to a skinny All Might.
"Fuka-chan. Welcome." Recovery Girl greeted kindly as the girl closed the door.
"Young Hatori!" All Might exclaimed in panic and Fuka raised a hand before placing a finger over her mouth, seeing Midoriya groaning at the loud noises.
"I know of your condition, All Might. No need to panic around me." Fuka explained before walking over to the old woman in the chair, hugging her. "I'm sorry that I haven't come to visit you after the exam."
"No need to apologize. Congratulations on getting into U.A." Recovery Girl said proudly as they let go. "Take those glasses off when you're with us. Besides, your hard work paid off so I wasn't worried." Fuka smiled as she took off her glasses and laid them in her skirt pocket.
"Ok, mind telling me why Hatori knows about my real form." All Might demanded.
"Of course. Fuka-chan is an honorary student unlike everyone else, every teacher knows her name and her past but it isn't like we can tell the public about our relationship with her." Recovery Girl explained as the blue eyed girl looked down sadly at the floor, thinking about her lost memories. "The only thing we can say is we are aware of the strange abilities of her Quirk."
"You have to keep this information a secret from everyone." Fuka said slowly but unsure. "I'll keep your true form secret too even though it doesn't bother me really. My glasses are fake so I can control my Quirk in front of people, that's all I'm gonna say."
"I see." All Might said in understanding of their wishes.
"Besides, I came here because Uraraka-san asked me to check on Midoriya-san." Fuka told them as she walked over to the door. "I can see that he won't wake for a while since he is exhausted."
"I'll send him to the classroom when he wakes up." Recovery Girl said and Fuka nodded before leaving the two with her friend, knowing he's in good hands.
After classes had ended, Bakugo left as the others said he should wait but he just walked away. Midoriya then had come to which had relived the whole class with his recovery even though his injuries hadn't completely healed. Fuka then left the room with her school bag and walked around the hallway to see Aizawa waiting for her by one of the windows.
"I'm glad you didn't expel Midoriya-san." Fuka pointed out, getting the teacher's attention.
"I presume he got your attention, Fuka." Aizawa said as she leaned against the railing, noticing Midoriya and Bakugo talking to each other in the courtyard.
"He has real potential." Fuka explained. "He analyzed the situation in combat at an amazing speed and managed to counteract Bakugo's attacks without the use of his Quirk though thanks to the latter's actions, Midoriya had to use it to win the fight." Fuka turned her back to the window with a grin. "Reminds me of our training together a few years ago."
"Sure enough, however you weren't as reckless unlike Midoriya." Aizawa pointed out and Fuka glared irritated at him.
"Anyway. He has hero potential that counteracts Bakugou's personality. If you had expelled him then that class would be a total mess. You'll see that in the recordings of the battle training." Fuka then started to walk away to get home.
"Fuka." Said girl stopped and glanced over her shoulder at Aizawa. "Good job bringing down Bakugo, show a little restraint next time."
Fuka blushed as Aizawa walked away, silently chuckling that he managed to trick the young girl. He watched Fuka's fight before coming and was quite satisfied that no one managed to figure out why she had so much experience in combat, nevertheless the true form of her Quirk.
Fuka's hero costume is from the comic/manga 'Honkai Impact 3: Moon Shadow' as well in her backstory videos.
I hope you enjoy this!
