Immortālitās

Chapter Six

"Young man!" A reporter stopped me as I tried walking into the school yard. "Is it true that All Might is teaching Basic Hero Training?"

"Will you tell us about how the Symbol of Peace is like as a teacher?!"

"How do you personally believe he is as a teacher?"

"Well I think," I grumbled, turning on them quickly. "That you are impeding on my access to the school grounds. You're going to disrupt our classes, please leave."

"B-but—!" She looked behind me. "You're pretty dark and scruffy, what's your deal?"

"All Might isn't on duty today," I heard Eraser Head say behind me. "And I have to agree with my student here. Please leave."

He turned and I followed him as we passed through the gates.

Aizawa grumbled to himself as we walked closer to the school, and I watched as the reporter from earlier got too close to the gates and activated the U.A. security system.

After hearing that All Might had been hired to teach at U.A., the nation was surprised and the pesky reporters descended upon the school. This was the first time they've stopped me to ask questions though.

What an annoyance to the learning environment.

I followed Aizawa-sensei to our homeroom, and he waved me on to get inside first.

I walked to my seat quickly, waving a short greeting to Ochaco as I walked by her desk.

"Good work on yesterday's combat training," Aizawa stated to the class. "I saw the video and results. Ivan and Uraraka, you showed a good display of teamwork. Bakugo, you're very talented, so don't go acting like a kid. And Midoriya. You broke your arm again, huh? I don't like saying the same thing over and over, so fix the control issue. There's a lot you'd be able to do otherwise."

The class was silent as we rode through Sensei's speech.

"Now let's do some homeroom business," he sighed. "It's late notice, but today I'll have you decide on a class representative."

A normal school activity? What a shocker.

"I want to be class rep! Pick me!" Eijiro jumped from his desk.

"Me too!" Both Denki and Kyoka raised their hands simultaneously.

"It's a job made for—" Yuga, or rather bellybutton man started but was interrupted by Mina.

"I'll be the leader!" She waved her arms happily.

Minoru said something about making skirts above the knee, and I think he felt the glare I gave him because he quickly sat down.

"Let me do it!" Bakugo said aggressively from his desk. "Me!"

"Silence, please!" Tenya stood from his desk. "This is going to be a job with serious responsibility! It won't be for just anyone who wants to do it. It calls for the trust of those around you. For true democracy, we should hold an election to decide!"

We haven't known each other too long; most people are going to vote for themselves. Though I suppose whoever it is that receives multiple votes has already earned the trust of some of their classmates.

"I don't care what you guys decide to do," Aizawa yawned snugly from his sleeping bag. "As long as it's before homeroom is over."

He then slumped onto the floor and was instantly asleep.

If I didn't already know he was Eraser Head, I'd think that he was some sleeping hero.

We all took a moment to vote, and then looked at the board as Aizawa displayed the results.

"The class representative will be Mr. Tantarimoto," Aizawa read off the board. "The deputy class rep is Uraraka. You are dismissed."

"There's a good amount of people in the cafeteria today," I said looking over the room. "Most of the people in here usually prefer to eat outside."

"It's pretty hot out, so I'll take a guess that that's why." Ochaco stated before taking a bite of her rice. "This is so delicious!"

"Is it now," I lightly elbowed her. "Miss Deputy Class Rep?"

"Mmm!" She kept eating. I guess not even my teasing is better than food. "Are you not going to eat anything, Mr. Class Rep?"

"I'm not too hungry," I looked at her and then smirked. "Though I guess I can take this."

I reached for her face and picked off the piece of rice that was next to her lip, before placing it in my mouth.

"You're right, Ochaco!" I laughed at her reddening face. "The rice is pretty delicious!"

Then the alarms started going off.

"There has been a Level Three security breach," the system declared. "All students please evacuate outdoors immediately."

Level Three? That means someone's trespassing on school grounds.

Everyone promptly began to freak out and ran towards the doors. This only caused the hallways to become congested and created little moving space.

"Tch," I grunted while keeping a decent amount of space around Ochaco. "I guess not even those who are training to become heroes can control their flight response. Ne, Ochaco, do you think you could give me a quick tap? I want to look and see if I can see who tresspassed."

"Good thinking, Ivan," she tapped me on the shoulder and I floated above the wave of students.

I growled in frustration. It was only the press.

How dare they?

"Oi! Everything's fine!" I shouted, and everyone stopped to look at me. "It was the media that alerted the security system! Let's all stop panicking. We're students of U.A., the most illustrious school in the country for heroes. Even if there was a real threat, let's show everyone that we are the best of the best! That we know how to properly control ourselves when an unknown situation arises!"

Everyone sighed in relief as the commotion stopped.

I dropped back to the floor as Ochaco released her quirk.

"That was really cool, Ivan!" She gave me a thumbs up.

"Mmm, I suppose," I sighed as we walked towards our next class. "I'm just glad the cops finally showed up to kick them out."

"For today's Hero Basic Training class," Aizawa instructed from the front of the room. "You will have three instructors. All Might, myself, and one other person."

"What will we be doing today, Sensei?" Hanta asked.

"Today we will be focusing on Rescue Training." Aizawa held up a white card with the word rescue written on it. "Disasters, shipwrecks, and everything in between. You can decide if you want to wear your costume or not this time, as there are some costumes that may limit your abilities. The training will also be taking place off-campus, so we're taking a bus. Start getting ready."

I decided to wear my hero costume, like most of the class, and we quickly boarded the bus that brought us to a large domed building.

"Everyone," a hero greeted us outside the building after we got off the bus. "I've been waiting for you!"

It was the Space Hero, Thirteen!

"Oh wow!" Ochaco was excited. "I love Thirteen!"

"Let's get inside," he motioned for the building. "We have a lot planned for you today!"

"We look forward to working with you!" The class chorused.

The inside of the building looked like an amusement park. Each section designed to show-off different rescue scenarios, or natural disasters.

"This is a training ground I designed in order to display different types of accidents and disasters!" Thirteen opened his arms wide in a display of affection. "It's called the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, or USJ for short!"

"Where is All Might?" Aizawa walked up with his hands in his pockets. "He was supposed to meet us here."

Thirteen walked up to our Sensei and whispered something to him.

"That is the height of irrationality," Eraser Head sighed. "But it can't be helped. Shall we begin?"

"Before we begin, I'd like to say a few things," Thirteen asked for our attention. "I am sure you are aware of my quirk, Black Hole. I can suck up anything and turn it into dust."

"You've been able to use that quirk in order to save people from all kinds of disasters!" Ochaco bounced on her feet in excitement.

"Yes," he spoke again. "But it's a power that can kill easily. Some of you also have quirks like that. In this superhuman society, quirks have been certified and strongly regulated, however; please do not forget that there are many quirks that can easily kill with one wrong step. With Aizawa's test, you were able to see the top performance of your powers. With All Might's test you were able to experience the possible dangers of using those powers against others. This class will be a fresh start for you. You will learn how to use your quirks in order to save people's lives!"

Thirteen is another good example of Pro Hero's being able to pull off impeccable speeches.

"First thing's first—" Aizawa started to say before the power around the building was cut-off. A purpleish glow appeared at the very center of the arena that caused him to look panicked. "Gather together and don't move!"

A large group of people started walking out of the thick glow. Some of the students got curious and tried to take a closer look.

"Don't move!" Eraser Head was putting on his goggles. This was serious then. "Those are real villains. It appears that the trespassing the other day was because of these scumbags."

"Sensei, what about the trespasser sensors?" Momo asked Thirteen.

"We have them, of course," he said. "But it appears that the power may have been cut, causing the sensors not to respond. Or someone's quirk is interfering with the signal."

"Thirteen, protect the students." Eraser Head advanced towards the stairs. "Begin the evacuation and try calling the school. It is possible that someone with radio-wave-type powers is interfering, so we need to to try and contact back-up as soon as possible. Kaminari. You try contacting the school with your quirk too."

"Yes, sir!" Denki responded.

"What about you?" Izuku asked. "Will you fight by yourself?! With that many, even if you can erase their quirks, your fighting style revolves around capturing an enemy. A full-on battle like this..."

Midoriya trailed off at the end.

"You can't be a hero and a one-trick-pony," Eraser Head replied. "I'm leaving the students in your care, Thirteen."

He then leaped from the top of the stairs and charged towards the enemy.

"Follow me, everyone!" Thirteen started running for the exit.

We didn't get too far before the villain with purple mass appeared before us. I stood protectively in front of the class. Right behind Thirteen.

"I won't let you escape," the mass said. "It is nice to meet you. We are the League of Villains. We have invited ourselves in to the home of the heroes in order to watch All Might, the Symbol of Peace, take his final breath. According to your schedule, All Might should have been here. Was there an unforeseen change of plans?"

We tensed as he began to move. "Well that is of no consequence to me. This is the part I am to play"

Thirteen went to move but Bakugo and Eijiro were already charging at the enemy.

Those idiots.

Bakugo made an explosion go off that distorted our line of sight.

"Did you consider being beat by us first?" Eijiro asked.

"Oh dear," a voice said from within the smoke. "That's dangerous. Even if you are students, you do have some excellent golden eggs."

"Move away you two!" Thirteen shouted.

The villain's purple mass began to surround us and my vision and hearing was distorted as it grew closer.

"I will separate you all and torture you to death!"

I blinked and felt a drastic change in temperature, as I was suddenly placed within the fire zone.

"That purple guy's quirk must have warped me here," I spoke out loud.

But I didn't seem to see any other students. Were we all individually split up? I'll need to check if anyone else is trapped in here on my way out. I looked around and saw only burning buildings, I'll need to find some other way to look for the exit.

"Oh?" I turned, hearing a voice behind me. "Looks like we've got ourselves our first victim."

A group of five villains appeared before me. Four of them were holding some form of a weapon, while the fifth one was pulling in the flames around him, creating a small vortex.

"Sorry kid," the guy playing with fire said. "You were unlucky getting trapped in here with us! But please, try to put up some form of a fight before getting burned!"

"I'm the unlucky one?" I grasped the handle to my battle axe. "By the looks of it, I think you're trapped in here with me."

They all laughed before running forward.

I charged at them with a smile on my face. Things were about to get a little messy.

The one who could control the flames sent a spiraling stream of fire at me, and I continued running right at it.

While I was growing up, I used to be horrified at the sight of fire. Many kids, and adults used it as a tool against me. But that was many years ago. Now? Fire has no control over me.

"The kid ran directly into the fire!" I heard one of them laugh as the flames licked away at my exposed skin.

They were shocked as I emerged from the flames. Whether their shock was from my survival, or burned appearance I could not tell, and I screamed as I swung my battle axe, stopping it just before it connected with the fire user's neck.

I wanted to be a hero after all, the idea was to capture and to not kill.

That's when I noticed something.

None of them have reacted since my emergence from the flames, and they looked scared.

Terrified even.

These guys were nothing compared to the one that warped me here. They made a mistake thinking that these small-fry would serve as anything other than a hindrance to my class.

My class? Huh, I guess the class representative title is really sticking to me.

"Something on my face?" I asked, and the fire user screamed. Promptly passing out. "Well that was embarrassing."

"Shut up you monster!"

"Is this even a kid?!"

"Monster?" I questioned them, placing my axe back in its holder. I wasn't going to need it. "You want to see a monster, eh?"

I took a step forward, and they collectively took a step back.

I charged forward once more and laughed at their screams.

I'd show them a monster.

Hello, friends! If you want more of a visualization on Ivan's hero costume, picture the kind of armor that Madara Uchiha wears. His helmet also resembles the Dovahkiin helmet from Skyrim. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

TTFN.
