Izuku felt real dapper.
The costume fit him like a glove, and it looked exactly as he had envisioned it.
He's stuck to a black and white theme with certain green highlights, to match his watch, he thought that since he had to wear it all the time whether he wanted to or not his costume might as well go well with it.
The costume itself came in two pieces, a full body suit, form the neck down it had a black triangle that settled into a white chest area, which itself became black again at the waist. The costume was black up to his elbows with white fingers, that were armoured at the knuckles, and he had white boots with steel soles, heels and toes.
There were green protrusions which served as storage for first aid equipment, emergency rations, just in case, which were stored in the ones on the side of his boots.
In the ones on his forearm, Izuku had small canisters that contained sleeping gas for quickly neutralising indoor targets.
Corners were dangerous.
He wore an emerald green scarf around his neck, mostly because as much as he wanted a cape, he realised that having something that big of a distraction attached to him just because he thought it looked cool when it billowed in the wind.
Finally, he had a simple white helmet with two conical shaped protrusions coming from the sides, which acted as a way for Izuku to listen to the radio, which he hoped to one day link to the police feed, and communicate with linked devices, he connected his phone to it for good measure.
The helmet's visor was shaped like the triangular hourglass on the front of the inactivated watch, and a mouth piece that could provide oxygen in case of gas based attack or sudden loss of atmospheric pressure.
A lot of the tech was his own, since the school couldn't condone using so much budget on one student, and Izuku wanted to keep the fact he had access to a vast amount of funds somewhat over wraps, but the support department had done a wonderful job at putting the whole thing together.
He'd use Upgrade to give it a once over and any final tune ups later on, but for now he wanted to give this baby a test drive without undermining the work that was put into it by his fellow U.A students.
"Woah dude, that's such a manly costume!" Kirishima exclaimed as he gave Izuku a friendly slap on the back.
"Thanks man," Izuku replied, "you're looking cool as heck."
The black trousers with red highlights and red gears around his shoulders really did suit the redhead.
"You too Iida, following in the legacy of your family I see." Izuku remarked, noticing how the tall boy was donning white armour similar to the current Ingenium.
"Thank you Midoriya, it brings me great pride to carry on the Iida family name." The boy said with his usual responsible tone.
"Cool man, but like, isn't there an Ingenium right now? What is your hero name going to be?" Izuku questioned curiously, Ingenium was a name passed down from generation to generation, and the title was usually held by the oldest member, or whoever became a hero first.
There could only be one Ingenium, so Izuku was unsure of what Iida was planning to do, especially since the boy hadn't thought to add any flair of uniqueness to his costume.
"Ah, that is a good point my friend, you don't mind if I ask you for help on the matter once the time comes to decide those things?" Iida asked seemingly unconcerned.
Izuku was of the opinion that a hero persona wasn't simply brewed over night, but if Iida wanted to play it by ear than so be it.
"Sure thing bud, where are the girls at?" Izuku asked, eager to see what Ochako and Mina had chosen for their costumes.
"Over there, having girl talk I think. Not that I can decipher what they're on about." Kirishima said, motioning over to where the six girls of U.A were gathered, talking in seemingly hushed tones.
Well, Mina was talking, and Izuku assumed Toru was as well since someone was talking back but no one else's lips were moving.
The green haired boy was just glad he was wearing full face helmet, because he was sure that at that moment people would mistake him for four arms from how red in the face he had gotten.
He'd heard about and seen over sexualisation of female heroes, but he'd never seen it on girls he knew personally, or his own age.
From a realistic outlook, it was wrong to do this to fifteen year old girls, but the hormones raging around in his brain were perfectly fine with it.
Too fine with it if anything.
From Jirou's quite conservative punk look that suited her really well, and that low cut shirt that revealed the tender white skin of her collar bone.
To Tsuyu and Ochako's full body skin tight suits that hugged their curves tightly.
Mina's low cut jumpsuit.
Momo's, well, Izuku was unsure what to call Momo's costume, he supposed it was a leotard, but then barely so.
Finally there was Toru, who was quite literally wearing gloves and shoes, which he supposed was because she was invisible, but he was sure the girl would go through hell in the winter.
He quite literally had to tear his eyes away from the scene, his penchant for analysing anything hero like backfiring horribly as he couldn't stop himself from drinking in the forms of his female classmates.
It made him feel like Mineta.
It was a horrible sensation.
"ALL RIGHT YOU ZYGOTES! Let's see what you're made of. Today's trial will be an indoor battle trial." All Might began, before explaining the rules to the trial.
Izuku found it an interesting concept, having hero students to behave like villains, maybe to allow them to think like villains, it was important to know your enemy after all.
They proceeded to select teams by drawing lots, which saw Izuku on team H, paired up with a boy called Tokoyami Fumikage, who had the curious feature of having a bird head that looked rather intimidating.
"All right, Young Midoriya and Young Tokoyami on team H, you will be the first hero team, whilst Young Hagakure and Young Ojiro will be the villain team." All might called out, Izuku was getting a few spots of anxiety for having to go first, but his excitement did quite a bit in helping him expunge them from his system. "Villain team please head inside you have five minutes to prepare, the non participating members of the class please follow me to the observation room."
This left the newly appointed partners alone to plan their assault.
Honestly, Izuku would have liked to have been paired up with someone he knew, like Ochako, since they had a pre-existing chemistry from the few times they had trained together.
Perhaps traditional teens didn't hang out by creating devastation combo moves, but Izuku was far from conventional, he also had no clue how to hang out with people, but Ochako seemed to have enjoyed bringing ruin to a beach, so he was sure his hosting abilities weren't terrible.
But, she had been paired with Tsuyu, and the two girls seemed to be hitting it off quite well.
Despite being slightly disappointed that the world would not be able to bear witness to their ultimate combination move: Asteroid belt just yet, the boy supposed meeting new people was important, it helped that Tokoyami's quirk was actually rather interesting from what Izuku had gathered, this was a good opportunity to get more detailed information on it.
"Tokoyami right?" Izuku began, deciding that introducing himself was a good first step.
"Indeed, you are Midoriya, is that correct?" The bird boy asked back.
Izuku was glad everything was going good so far, he just had to follow his plan of attack, and him and his new partner would be friends in no time.
"Yep that's me, so based on what I saw of your quirk, you have some kind of sentient shadow right?" Izuku questioned, really wishing he had his notebooks, in fact, if he compiled them all to digital form and added some form of display to his costume, he could have access to them at all times, he filed that away as a project for the near future.
"Yes, that is dark shadow, the manifestation of my inner darkness, come out and say hello." The boy said before a shadow with a head in the same shape as its owner came out from under Tokoyami's cloak.
"Yo! Are you one of Fumikage's friends? Boy have I got some embarrassing stories to tell you." The shadow creature said rather animatedly.
Tokoyami gave it a chop on the head for its effort.
"Anyway, Midoriya, how does you quirk work?" The bird boy asked.
"Well using this watch I can transform into anyone one of ten forms, it's quite simple really, but the ability is quite versatile." Izuku said, refraining from going through the whole, it's not a quirk shebang again, really he needed to round up all his classmates and explain it to them all at once. "I've come up with a plan using them actually." The green haired boy stated.
"Do go on." Tokoyami remarked.
"Well, Hagakure is probably our biggest issue in this situation, her invisibility is quite annoying to deal with, but do you remember that orange dog thing I turned into for the endurance race?" Izuku asked, to which Tokoyami nodded, "Well, I call it Wildmutt, and basically, it has a very keen sense of smell and hearing, which basically hard counters Hagakure, so how about I deal with finding the bomb and capturing her, whilst you deal with Ojiro?"
"Sounds good, I reckon that if I use the element of surprise, Ojiro will stand no chance against my darkness." Tokoyami stated.
Izuku couldn't help but feel that the boy liked to be a tad dramatic, which wasn't a trait his friend group had yet.
Should he be collecting friends like they were Pokemon?
Izuku still hadn't quite figured that part out yet.
"So, should we enter through the front door?" Tokoyami asked.
Izuku smiled at the boy.
"Doors are for chumps."
Toru was not feeling good about her chances.
Tokoyami in itself would have been a problem, she'd been in the same test site as him for the entrance exam, and had noticed the boy using his quirk to quite literally tear a robot to shreds, she did not fancy her chances against that.
Luckily for her, she was invisible and could escape the problem all together, hopefully capturing the boy's before he realised she was even there.
Which was why she was going to go scouting as soon as the prep time ended.
Aside from Tokoyami, she had to face Izuku Midoriya, top student, and generally considered Class 1-A's badass, literally, it was the second day, and the boy was already a legend spoken about in mere whispers.
Well, the whispers were mostly because at no cost could girl talk be overheard by the boys, secrets were at stake.
Still, she'd seen him in the quirk apprehension test, any one of his aliens, as Mina like to call them, could probably end this trial singlehandedly.
The boy had crossed fifty meters in almost half a second, there wasn't much she could do to stop him if he just rushed for the bomb.
Ojiro was as calm as a lake somehow.
Toru did not understand whether he was confident or just resigned to his fate.
Once they heard the signal to start in their ear pieces, the invisible girl began to strip herself of what little clothes she was wearing.
Her sense of embarrassment was completely and utterly shot at this point, with being see-through and all, even still she made her partner look away as she did so, there was a difference between invisible streaking and stripping of course.
"Okay, Ojiro, I'm off to scout." The girl said happily, trying to mask the defeat in her voice, she didn't want to say it was utterly pointless, but she knew when she was outmatched, better to just get it over with and then have a good laugh about it with her friends.
Little did she know her wish was about to come true, because the next few seconds would probably be remembered as the single most sudden thing that happened in her life.
Just as the girl was about to leave, she briskly turned around at the sound of shattering glass and a heavy thump landing on the floor, her surprise expounded by the fact that they were on the top floor.
A large orange dog, that she quickly recognised as one of Izuku's alien forms, stared straight at her with his eyeless face.
She was just glad she was invisible, because the expression she was making was not exactly the most attractive face she had ever pulled.
Surprise and awe do not mix well.
Then Izuku pounced directly on her, as if he could see he clear as day.
She felt her arms being pinned down by two powerful limbs as a mouth full of fangs gave a low rumbling warning growl at her.
She then watched her partner rush over to help, only to be slapped aside by a shadowy black claw.
Being the rather skilled martial artist he was, the tailed boy managed to flip himself in the air and use his tail to stop his motion, before using the same limb to throw himself towards his assailant.
Tokoyami's shadow creature moved to intercept, but using an impressive display of acrobatics, Ojiro launched himself over the shadow beast and made a beeline for its Summoner.
The bird headed boy barely managed to cross his arms to defend himself, before Ojiro's tail slammed into him, sending him flying backwards onto his backside, realising a grunt of pain.
The tailed boy moved to finish the fight with the next move, but Tokoyami's dark creature wrapped around to stop him, the long tendril that connect it to Tokoyami wrapping around her teammate multiple times to restrain him.
"The villain team has been captured. The hero team is VICTORIOUS!"
Toru didn't want to say she had called it.
Except she totally did.
