I introduced the costume that Izumi is going to use and it's mostly based on the default Reaper skin. If you want a reference google female Reaper but it's not any of the sexy ones.

UA classroom 1A next morning (Izumi POV)
The anticipation was killing me as we waited for our instructor for our first heroics class. My questionable costume design was forgotten as the day went on with regular classes being taught by Pro Hero's who I eventually need to get autographs from.
"Hay are you listening to me!" Mina shouts next to me.
"Sorry just a little amped for heroics." I say sheepishly.
"I know what you mean I'm a bit nervous." Tsu says in her normal deadpan tone.
"What do you think it will be like?" Ochaco asks smiling.
"Hopefully no studying I get enough of that in other classes." Mina says tipping her chair back.
"I'M COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" All Might shouts coming in definitely not like a normal person causing Mina to fall backwards.
Everyone was in awe except for me who was trying to hide my face hopefully keeping him from recognizing me and Mina cursing up a storm on the ground while clutching her head.
"Fucking hell! My head!" Mina shouts pulling herself up.
"Young Miss I would please ask you to mind your language in the classroom." All Might says in a stern tone.
"Sorry..." She groans out not realizing she was in front of the number one hero.
"Uh at any rate today we will be starting heroics class with combat training!" All Might shouts striking a pose.
It was a bad sign when When Kacchan smiled like that but the excitement was filling the room from everyone. Large panels open from the adjacent wall with numbered containers.
"And part of being a hero is COSTUMES! Please consult the sheet in front which has your names and container number. After you have retrieved your costume proceeded to Ground Beta!" All Might says dashing out of the room.
The class scramble to get there costumes and ran out the door. Before the last of us left I noticed Jiro pick something up from the front of the class. Curious I look over her shoulder to see a small booklet with All Might's speech writer on the first page. She looks me right in the eyes and we both walk out not saying anything.
Ground Beta 10 minuteslater (Izumi POV)
Opening the box I see a note on top.
Hay tall lady! I made your costume and it turned out great! This was the first time I have used DNA infused material so that was cool. If there's anything new you want to add just look me up in the support department.
Mei Hatsume future CEO of Hatsume industries.
The fact that this school can just give me a full costume with DNA infused material was baffling, it was 43000 Yen for just a shirt made the same way. Striping down to my tank top, panties, and thigh high socks I pull out the first part of the costume.
The pants where slightly baggy black combat pants with a gray belt that slipped on easily. The next part was a pair of black combat boots with a metal cover that extended into knee guards that I laced up and put on. The top was a thick black padded shirt with gray metal segments that covers my stomach and one larger piece that goes over and conforms to my breasts. Next was a pair of elbow length gloves also covered my forearms with metal plates, the fingers are covered in segments of metal that can bend and flex with my hand movements.
Now this would have been a good place to end right? A practical outfit with plenty of protection but the costume design that my mother sent in was made made a few years ago during a phase. More specifically a short lived goth phase with black nail polish, black hair dye, spiked wrist bands, and lots of dark makeup.
That's where the short sleeve mid calf length black faux leather trench coat and hood comes from. It also had segmented plates over the back to protect from an attack behind me. The real finale piece was a hard full face mask that was reminiscent of a skull attached to a cloth that covers my neck and went into the shirts collar. The mask actually had a purpose other than teenage angst, the cloth was air tight and the face had a built in air filter. The eyes of the mask were tinted lenses for eye protection making this a very sleek gas mask.
With the full costume on I walk over to the full length mirror in the changing room and give myself a once over. If anyone shorter than me wore this it would look ridiculous but with my hight I looked damn intimidating. (AN this is not an exact replica of Reaper's outfit but something close.)
"Wow that is scary." Mina says also giving me a once over putting on her own fur mini jacket.
"Thanks but I was going for intimidation." I say with the mask making my voice slightly more raspy.
"I think it looks cool." Came the calm voice of Jiro in a very punk like costume.
"Hay does this look too tight?" Ochaco says pulling at the skin tight bodysuit.
"Yes." Everyone says at the same time causing her head to hang low.
"Hay that's not a bad thing you look awesome!" Toru says waving her gloved hands to exclaim her point.
"Wait are you naked!" I say a little loud bringing attention to the boots and floating gloves.
"Not much of a choice with my quirk." She says simply putting her hands on her hips.
"You could probably get a costume with your DNA infused like mine so it will become invisible. Then at least you get some protection." I say holding the tail of my coat out as an example.
"Oh ya that's a thing..." She says in a sheepish tone.
"Right... let's head out. You should talk to the Support department after class." I say moving to the exit.
Ground Beta training area 5 minutes later (All Might POV)
"Crap! Crap! Where is my lesson plan!" I thought while stealthily searching my vintage costume for my cheat sheet.
Being a new teacher was nerve wracking especially if your the number one hero. These kids have certain expectations of my ability, so if I come out here as a teacher and royalty screw up...
"No I just need to find that booklet!" I think redoubling my efforts to save face.
But it was to late the class had finished changing and they did really look like future hero's. While some of the costumes had questionable design choices there was no doubt a great amount of care and effort went into them. Although if I was honest three student costumes did bring some concern.
Midoriya looked like a specter of death with that mask and dark color scheme, Bakugo already had weapons from the support department, and Mineta had a steel diaper on. While not necessarily bad, each could pose a problem in the future.
Pushing those thoughts aside I start to make up something. But before I can pull an lesson out of my ass a student walks up to me.
"Uh All Might sir... I think you dropped this." Jiro says shoving something into my hand and running back to the rest of the class.
Pulling up my hand I see the lost booklet with my lesson plan that I must have dropped when I made my cool exit from the class room.
"Ahem now that you all look like hero's we will begin the lesson! For today's class you will be split into hero's and villains for a two on two indoor battle." I say try to move things along.
"Without basic training?" Asui unfortunately asks because that would probably have been a good idea.
"This is real battle to understand those basics!" I say trying to be convincing.
"How will wind and losses be determined?" Yaoyorozu ask.
"Can we beat them up anyway?" Bakugo asks.
"Will you punish us with expulsion like Mr Aizawa?" Uraraka asks.
"How about we let All Might finish his explanation everyone." Midoriya's voice cuts the class off saving me from a flurry of questions.
Taking the initiative I explained the mock battle training, two on two indoor battles with a fake bomb as an objective. Either the villains capture the hero's or hero capture the villains but they can also capture the bomb.
"And to determine team we will draw lots!" I say pulling out a box with all there names inside.
"There being decided so haphazardly!" Iida says.
"It not like we have much choice in a disaster." Midoriya once again jumps in.
"Now let's draw and get ready!" I say glad the this part was over.
Ground Beta training area same time (Izumi POV)
I knew despite being the number one hero All Might was a first time teacher. As he started to pull pairs of names out of the box, I look around at my classmates for potential a partner. As long as I wasn't paired with Kacchan I would be good, anyone but him.
Luckily I was on Team A as hero's with Toru.
Unluckily I was facing the Team D villains consisting of Kacchan and Iida.
Kacchan's glare could melt steel at that moment but I could care less, not that he can tell behind my mask.
"Villain team, go in first and set up! In five minutes, the hero team will break inand start the battle. The rest of the class will follow me to the observation room." All Might says leading us to the building then the class out of the area.
"Alright what's the plan?" Toru asks waving her arms.
"Actually your perfect for this exercise, your job will be to find the bomb. Stay out here for a couple of minutes then run in to search for the bomb. Don't engage unless your sure that you can capture the bomb. If you feel like your in trouble retreat and try to find me." I say scanning over the building plan while sliding into the leader role, when I was met with silence I turn to look at Toru.
"That was amazing! You made that up so fast and it sounds perfect!" She says jumping up and down.
"Thanks for the complement, now try to memorize the building floor plan. You need to know where your going." I say glad I'm hiding my bashfulness well.
A quick salute from a floating glove was her response as she starts reading her map. Our prep time was spent refining our plan and before we knew it time was up.
"Hero's time is up, enter the building!" All Might announces liver the speakers.
Nodding I walk into the test building trying to get some distance from the entrance, hopefully I was a good enough distraction for Toru to start her search. I only had to walk for a minute before I hear very faint footsteps making there way to my direction, right as I was turning the corner a palm moves to my stomach.
Boom!
An explosion makes me stumble back a couple of steps but otherwise I was fine, looking at the source I see a glaring Kacchan standing in the hallway. The glare faltered for a second into confusion but he immediately prepared to fight.
"Guess I need to work on my reaction time. This costume has some fire resistant so that's out for you, that just leaves concussive force. But you need to be close for your quirk to be affective and I won't give you that chance." I say in slow tone.
Reaching down before he can respond I create my shotguns loaded with bean bag rounds and fire. He was shocked so the first round hit him in the chest pushing him over but he uses the momentum to roll into a stand. I start to fire rapidly at him but he's already dodging effectively.
"Where the fuck did you get those Deku!" He yells still dodging my shots.
"I'm surprised you can run around after that hit, there is going to be a massive bruise later by the way!" I yell back down the hall as I lose sight of him.
Walking at an average pace I throw my shotguns down and get new ones. Keeping both guns trained in front of me I walk down the halls to find Kacchan, a rumble I hear is moving closer to my location. I back pedal as the wall exploded sending fragments flying everywhere.
"So you hid your quirk all this time just to humiliate me! I'll kill you Deku!" He screams rushing me.
I didn't respond as I continued to fire but he raised his gauntlets as a shield as he moved forward. Beanbag rounds couldn't break the metal that the gauntlets were made of so I tried to create some distance. I didn't know that's exactly what he wanted because he stopped once I reached some windows.
"These gauntlets store my nitroglycerin inside them, what do you think happens when I use all of it at once!" He says with a manic grin raising his gauntlet up at me.
"Bakugo stop you'll kill her!" All Mights voice says over the speaker.
"She won't die if she dodges!" He says pulling the pin.
Boom!
I could see the massive fire ball racing down the hallway it I wasn't concerned. Dissipating long before it could reach me I just move towards him hiding in the smoke of his attack. Reforming behind him as the side of the building exploded I raise my fist and punch him in the back of the head.
Smack! Crash!
I seem to forget that my gloves are covered in metal because he drops unconscious like a sack of potatoes. For the sake of the training rules I bend down and wrap his arms in capture tape.
"Uh Bakugo is captured one villain remaining!" All Might says a little less than enthusiastically.
"This costume is the shit." I mumbled seeing that none of it fell off when I dissipated.
Walking up the stairs I see a pair of boots and gloves running at me.
"What was that! The whole building shook." Toru asks waving her hands frantically.
"Just Bakugo having a temper tantrum, did you find the bomb?" I ask.
"Ya fifth floor but Iida spotted my glove when I was spying on him so I went to find you." She says leading me to the bomb room.
"Ah so you have brought you heroic companion to defeat me but I will not be taken so easily hero's!" Iida yells getting way to into this.
"Toru go around I'll deal with him." I say running at him.
"Have at thee!" Iida yells boosting at me.
Dissipating as he was about to kick he goes through my body and I reform when he's past me. Using my arm to grab him from behind I get his mid section and used a technique that my trainer insisted I learn.
"German Suplex!" I yell flipping his body over mine slamming him into the ground.
"The bomb has been captured hero's win!" All Might's voice exclaimed.
Getting up leaving Iida unconscious on the ground I see Toru'a gloves leave the bomb. I give her a thumbs up and receive one back.
Training ground Beta observation room ten minutes later (Izumi POV)
Being the strongest I carry both unconscious classmates to the observation room. Momo was kind enough to produce some smelling salts to wake Iida and Kacchan up who both refused a trip to the nurses office.
"Can anyone tell me who the MVP of this match was?" All Might asks the class.
"I do believe it was Midoriya, as Hagakure said that the plan was made by her. She also quickly and accurately countered the enemy teams quirks. Her quick thinking with Bakugo and the maneuver with Iida were great." Momo says making me blush.
"Yes an accurate description now let's move on to the next team." He says sending the next team.
Most of the rounds were interesting with very creative quirk use but the one that stood out was Todoroki. He chose to freeze the whole building instead of direct combat. When the review of that match came up I couldn't stay silent when most people said he was the MVP.
"I have to disagree." I say getting everyone's attention.
"Please explain your reasoning?" All Might asks.
"Freezing the whole building was a reckless and stupid move, he put his team and the bomb in jeopardy with weakening the buildings structural. When you freeze concrete and steel they become extremely brittle so the weight of the building itself could have collapsed the whole thing. He also very ignorantly heated the building up changing the temperature rapidly risking everyone inside because the steel used in the building can expand." I finished getting a blank look from the boy I criticized.
"Very astute observation young Midoriya! Todoroki please keep those words in mind for the future." All Might say.
The rest of class was uneventful except for Todoroki constantly looking at me and Kacchan having a breakdown in the back of class.
UA high school entrance after school (Izumi POV)
As fun as it would be to hang out with friends after school again I need to keep my gym schedule. Walking out of the schools entrance I notice Kacchan standing just outside the gate. He looks up with a rare look of contemplation but when I move to go around him he blocks my path.
"What?" I sigh out.
"Why did you hide your quirk?" He grits out.
"I didn't, also why would I tell you anything. We haven't been friends for close to a decade and you spent most of that time being an asshole." I say ready for this to be done.
"I wasn't some bully Deku! I was the best and everyone knew it!" He snarled back.
"You are the dictionary definition of a bully but the teachers thought you would be a great hero so they never did anything. The students on the other hand were terrified of you, some even left school after you wouldn't stop going after them. Hell any time someone said they wanted to be a hero you relentlessly bullied them emotionally and physically." I say in a calm manner recalling a few students that never came back after he was done with them.
"They thought they were better than me just like you!" He say crossing his arms.
"Kacchan Explosion is a great quirk and will get you far just like your battle instincts but it's hardly the best. We are in a class with some of the best hero students in the country training to be the best heros. I'll give you some helpful advice, get out of your own way." I say not really knowing where this was coming from.
"What is that supposed to mean." He say quieter than I have heard him on a long time.
"As much as it pains me to say this you will be a great hero if you just work on your pride and arrogance. I'm done here so just think about what I said." I say pushing past him.
Musutafu Silverman Gym 1 hour later (Yu Takeyama POV)
My friendship with Izumi started in a pathetic way at the gym. I had seen her a few time months back and she seemed to be the stoic silent type, or she just didn't want to talk to anybody. One day I got chewed out real bad by some older hero's telling me I should be ashamed about how I act. Deciding to work some frustration out at the gym but I only got an hour through before a rough voice said something.
"Are you ok?" The tall grey skin, green haired woman asks.
I was going to respond with my normal airhead attitude I use for the cameras but I felt something wet on my face. As it turns out I had been crying for a few minutes and she noticed. Once I realize I was crying a dam burst and I started sobbing like a child.
I missed my family in the country side.
I was tired of being judged.
Everything just hit at once so I just cried until a hand started to rub circles into my back. So I just spit out a verbal mess onto her and she just listened nodding along. After that I just hanged out with her whenever were both here.
Today was a bit different because when I walked in Izumi was hitting the heavy bag like it killed her mother.
Snap! Crash!
It ended when the chain holding the heavy bag up snapped under the onslaught of savage hits from the Nearly 200 centimeter tall woman. She just takes off her gloves and moves over to the weight bench set settings up 300 pounds.
"Hay need a spotter?" I ask seeing an in.
"Sure." Was all she said already lifting the weights.
For ten minutes straight she keeps going with the same frustrated look on her face but her arms we're starting to shake. Lifting the weight onto the rack I see Izumi sits up and slumps with exhaustion putting her forehead into her hands.
"So... want to talk?" I ask sitting down next to her.
"I'm just frustrated." She say obviously trying to brush it off.
"About?" I ask.
"I just had to deal with an asshole today who thinks the world revolves around him." She say grabbing a small towel to wipe her face.
"Oh so one of those annoying people, there more common then a cold." I say sympathizing with her.
"Worst part is we were childhood friends a long time ago, so I guess it just hit me a little hard." She adds moving over to the treadmills.
"So that opened an old wound." I said taking the treadmill next to her.
"Ya it did... used to follow him like a lost puppy, then he got a great quirk and I didn't. That's when he started to bully me, it hurt a lot but I moved on and he just stayed that way." She says increasing the speed on the treadmill.
"Just forget that jerk and focus on what's important, like getting a date with someone nice." I say hoping to take her mind of this.
"I have no interest in dating, plus I'm only-" she started but got cut off by one of the most annoying people in town.
"Hay girls! just landed a sponsorship with one of the biggest handbag company's in Japan! You may praise me now." Uwabami says running over and striking a pose.
Izumi has the maturity to congratulate her but I just slow clapped to illustrate my thoughts. We start to argue but in the back of my head I wonder what Izumi was going to say.
UA classroom 1A next day (Izumi POV)
"I went way to hard at the gym yesterday." I think stretching for the fifth time in my seat.
Even with a sort of regeneration my quirk gave me I felt sore all over. It didn't help that the front of the school was crowded by reporters looking for All Might. Now we just were waiting for Aizawa to grace us with his presents. I didn't hide my distaste for our home room teacher very well, not that I cared but others also noticed.
"Izumi why do you hate Aizawa?" Ochako asks sitting next to me.
"I don't hate him, I just don't like his teaching style." I say tapping my pencil on my desk.
"Could you explain what you dislike?" Momo says seating on my other side.
"The first five minutes he interacted with us was full of criticism and derision. Then he threatened us with expulsion on the first day if we didn't do well and admitted to lying about it to motivate us." I say listing off my reasons.
"I understand that it was harsh but I'm sure he had his reasons." Momo says trying to defend our teacher.
"Any half decent teach doesn't need to use negative reinforcement as a first option when it's proven to not work in the long run. Take yesterday's hero class, Ochako asked if All Might was going to expel us for not doing well during the lesson. He painted all of UA to work like that even though it's just him that does it. We shouldn't have to fear that any small mistake will end our hero career before it starts." I say explaining my thoughts.
"She does make a good point." Tsu say putting her finger on her cheek.
"Good morning... today you will decide who is class president and vise president so do it quickly." Aizawa says walking in and immediately laying in his sleeping bag to nap.
The class erupted into a frenzy with people saying they want the job so I just stayed quiet. It was decided that we would vote after each person gives a speech on why we should choose them. Once the votes were in I got a real surprise when my name was called for class president and Momo was the vise president.
"I didn't even run so who voted for me?" I say glaring at the class getting a few people avoiding my look.
"All right now that that's decided go to your next class." Aizawa says rising from the ground.
Before I can protest I see a smirk from Aizawa confirming that he heard what I said earlier about him.
UA lunch room 3 hours later (Izumi POV)
"I'm not mad." I say after my friends admit they basically gave me a write in for the president position.
"Really because that look says otherwise." Ochako says across from me seeing my scowl.
"Sorry Izu we just thought you would be great for the job." Tsu says eating her lunch.
"Ya I bet you'll be great!" Mina adds with her usual cheer.
"I guess as long as I don't have to stay after school it should be fine. I go to the gym most days so I don't need this taking up my schedule." I say digging into my curry.
"From what I understand we only need to meet with the other class presidents once every two weeks." Momo says already making a schedule for us to follow.
"Alright that seems fine but I still don't like it." I mumbled.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
"What in the ever loving hell is that!" I yell over the alarm.
"It's the intruder alarm which means someone broke into the school!" Momo yells back.
Being swept up into the crowd I look out the window to see a swarm of reporters running into the front entrance. Realizing I was the only one to notice this, I dissipate and move to the front of the stampede. Reforming in front of the crowd I materialize a shotgun loaded with a blank and fired into the ceiling.
Crack!
"It's just the reporters so calm the fuck down and return to the lunch room! NOW!" I yell in the most authoritative tone I have.
Slowly they start to move back like chastised child after being yelled at by a parent. Walking to the table I see my friends giving me a smug look.
"What?" I ask becoming nervous.
"That proves we made the right choice voting for you." Mina says smugly.
"Oh shut up." I say half heartedly.
