The annoying beeping of an alarm jolted Dokusei awake. Grumbling, he got up from his warm comfy bed, walked to his desk, and turned off his alarm clock. The clock read 6:15 so he had a few hours before school started.

Grabbing his school uniform, he walked out of his room and to the bathroom, and as he left his room, he could smell his mother's cooking. "Good morning, dear," his mother called out. Dokusei walked by his parents' room seeing the door open and nobody inside. He looked towards the bathroom to see that the door was also opened.

Dokusei decided to check on what his mother was cooking. "Morning, Mom. What's for breakfast?"

His mother smiled at him. "Something I learned when I lived in the states. Bacon and egg, cheese sandwiches." She may look of Asian descent but Higa was actually born in the states and moved to Japan when she wanted to learn more about her family.

Dokusei looked around the main room, not seeing his dad; in fact Dokusei didn't even remember his father ever returning home last night. "Did Dad come home last night at all?"

"He did; you just missed him. He already left for work."

"Ok, I'm going to go take a shower, then head to Mina's after breakfast," he informed his mother, walking towards the bathroom.

"Hurry up or your breakfast will be cold."

"Yes, ma'am." After a quick shower and changing into his uniform, he grabbed his breakfast sandwich, scarfing it down. Telling his mother 'thank you' for the meal, he then headed towards Mina's place.

Reaching his destination, he knocked on the door three times until he decided to just open the door; they wouldn't mind. "Hello," Dokusei called out while taking off his shoes. When he didn't get a reply he called out again and looked back at where the shoes were. The only pairs of shoes there were his own and Mina's. "Guess her folks had to go to work early." He walked in and checked the kitchen. He saw a note on the fridge.

"Mina, got called in early; breakfast is in the microwave, and knowing that Dokusei comes over on Tuesdays, the door will be unlocked. Love, Mom."

Dokusei sighed, "knowing Mimi, she's probably still asleep."

Walking to her room, he lightly knocked. "Mimi, are you up?" He popped his head in seeing Mina spiralled out on her bed with one arm wrapped around her teddy bear Mr. Snuggles. Dokusei chuckled to himself and walked up to the slumbering heroine, gently shaking her. "Mimi..." No response, so he tried again, just a bit harder and a bit louder. "Mimi, wakey wakey sleepy butt." This time Mina grumbled and grabbed Dokusei's hand and brought it towards her chest and cuddled with his arm, leaving Mr. Snuggles behind. Dokusei could have sworn he saw a tear escape from the bear's button eyes.

The toxic boy sighed; his forearm was between Mina's breasts and his hand was pressed against her cheek. Any other guy would've killed to be in his position; fortunately he was raised better than that. "Mina, can I have my arm back?"

"No..."

"If you don't get up and get dressed we're gonna miss the train."

She groaned in annoyance and opened her eyes. "Fine." Giving back his arm, she sat up, resting her head on his shoulder, and hugged him around the waist. "Morning, Doku."

Dokusei returned the hug. "Morning, Mimi." Ruffling her bed head, he got up much to Mina's protesting and headed towards the door. "I'll be in the living room if you need me, and your breakfast is in the microwave." As soon as the door closed Mina went face first into her pillow and let out a groan.

Dokusei waited in the living room, tuning into the local news channel. Nothing too noteworthy; the hero killer was still at large, and today was going to be sunny but partly cloudy. He heard Mina walk into the bathroom, and hearing the shower turn on, he looked back to see that the bathroom door was still open. "Door's open," he called out. Mina retaliated by opening the door all the way. Dokusei sighed and focused his attention on the tv again.

About five minutes later the shower turned off, and a minute or two after that Mina came out with the bottom half of her uniform on and was fiddling with a bra that appeared not to be cooperating. "Doku, can you help me out here?"

Dokusei looked back at her and sighed. "Yeah sure, turn around." Mina did as instructed as he walked up to her. It was a troublesome bra, and it took him a couple tries but he eventually got it. "There you go; now hurry up."

"Thanks, Doku." She pecked his cheek then scampered off to finish getting dressed. Dokusei shook his head lightly and grabbed their bags. Mina came out fully dressed and went to grab her breakfast from the microwave. "Egg sandwich-" she slumped her shoulders "-ugh I hate cold egg..."

"You'll live; we don't have time to heat it," Dokusei said as he handed her bag to her. Mina grabbed the sandwich and strapped the bag over her shoulder. As they left the house she ate the sandwich a little too quickly, nearly choking and scaring the toxic boy.

By the time they reached their classroom they had about ten minutes to kill. Dokusei sat at his desk, mainly talking to his desk mates such as Iida and Uraraka. Midoriya joined them not long after Dokusei walked in. "M-Morning guys."

"Morning, Deku!" Uraraka smiled at the freckled boy.

"Morning/Good morning, Midoriya!" Dokusei and Iida said at the same time, causing the two to look at each other before Dokusei chuckled.

"So how do you think today will turn out?" Uraraka asked with clear eagerness on her face.

"My guess is that it'll be like a normal school 'till the hero course, then UA will show us its true colors." The three of them looked at Dokusei with questionable faces. "What? This place is technically still a school. We'll only find out if SHTF during the hero course."

"SHTF?" Uraraka and Midoriya asked.

"'Shit hits the fan.'" That earned a snicker from Kirishima, who appeared to be eavesdropping, so Dokusei elbowed him in the back. "It's not polite eavesdrop, Red Horns."

Iida was about to lecture Dokusei about the use of foul language, however Kirishima interjected. "Red Horns? Didn't take you for the nicknaming type."

Dokusei shrugged. "I'll eventually give everyone nicknames, but it may take some time for some people."

"What's mine?" all three asked at the same time; they needed to stop that.

"Well, Iida's is Mr. Roboto."

"I am not a robot!" Iida shouted as he moved his arms robotically.

Dokusei pointed at Iida's movements. "See my point?" Then he looked to Uraraka. "Unfortunately I don't have a nickname for you yet, sorry." He gave her a sheepish smile.

Uraraka smiled at him and nervously rubbed her head. "It's ok. I'm probably not unique enough for a nickname."

Dokusei grabbed at his neck. "No, it's not that; I just have trouble creating names for women, especially if they're really pretty such as yourself." Uraraka's cheeks became more red; it seemed that Dokusei was the only one to notice this and quickly changed the subject. "Midoriya, you wanted to hear yours as well?" the toxic one asked rhetorically.

Midoriya froze up at the sudden attention, though he managed to nod his head yes. "I would call you Deku, but it's too close to mine, so to avoid confusion, I'm calling you Mordy!"

Iida tilted his head. "So you just shortened his name?"

"Well I think it would be a bit too forward of me to call him Izuzu." Dokusei gave them a smirk and a chuckle, sarcasm dripping from his words.

As soon as Dokusei finished Aizawa walked in. Homeroom and the second day of UA had officially started. The first half of the school day was pretty much like any other school, Math, English, History, etc. Lunch was good, nearly bringing Mina to tears. Said it reminded her of her late grandma's cooking. Things took a turn to the exciting side when Hero Basic Training finally rolled around.

"I HAVE!" A voice got the class's attention. "Come through the door like normal!" All Might announced his "normal" entrance. The whole class exploded in chatter, mostly about how All Might was teaching them and about his current silver age costume.

"Hero Basic Training!" All Might showed off his muscles by flexing them. "The class that'll put you through all sorts of special training to mold you into heroes!" He then pulled out a card with the word battle written in all caps on it. "No time to dally. Today's activity is battle training!"

Everyone got excited now; Dokusei had a small smirk on his face. "Throwing us straight into the deep end, eh?" he thought to himself, "No training wheels for us; this is going to be one hell of a day."

"And for that..." All Might pulled out a remote, pointed it at the left wall, and four shelves started extending from it. "You'll need these!" The shelves revealed twenty suitcases, each with a corresponding number. Dokusei immediately knew what those were, their hero costumes! Everyone yelled out the words in his head; he could also see Midoriya having a fanboy moment. "After changing, come out in ranking order to Ground Beta!"

Dokusei's hero costume consisted of a pair of green elbow length gloves with retractable silver claws that could extend almost two inches on each digit, a black and green bodysuit with the green coloring his torso and shoulders and the black coloring his waste and limbs, a green cloak with a hood, a sliver plague doctor's mask with bright blue glowing lenses, a silver utility belt, and a pair of green boots with silver toed tips. The mask could open its beak to allow Dokusei to spit his poisons out of a tube with surprisingly high velocity and accuracy, and the claws encased his organic ones, providing protection and a longer reach for injecting his toxins into his opponents.

After making sure everything was on securely, Dokusei nodded his head then walked to Ground Beta. He saw Bakugo and as much as it pained him to admitted it, his costume was pretty awesome. Then Dokusei saw a guy with a costume that looked like Ingenium's. Walking up to him, Dokusei had a decent guess on who it was. "Iida? Is that you under there?"

"Dokusei? Why your costume looks great!" Iida spoke, confirming the toxic boy's guess. "Although, I would never have thought you'd go for a scary look."

Dokusei shrugged, showing off his silver colored claws. "Wanted to go with a intimidating look, yet not too scary that I would scar children." His shoulders sagged, "Guess I need to work on it." He was then soon tackled by a pink blur.

"Doku! Your costume is amazing!" Mina practically screamed in his ear.

The tackled looked up to the tackler, who was giving him an innocent smile. Mina's costume matched her personality quite well, though in Dokusei's opinion, it was a bit revealing, however considering how her quirk worked, he didn't mind too much. "Mina..." Dokusei's voice came out annoyed .

"Ashido, get off him this instant! That is unprofessional for a student of UA!" Iida exclaimed, stomping his foot and waving his arms pretty robotically.

"Mina, would you kindly get off me?" Dokusei's mask hid his face, but Mina could tell he was giving her a nasty glare.

The three of them heard a giggle, and they turned their heads towards the sound, spotting Uraraka and Kirishima; the red head was trying not to laugh at Dokusei's position. Dokusei also spotted Mineta sending a jealous look his way.

Dokusei looked at Mina and put more authority in his voice. "Mina, off, now."

Mina pouted a bit, but soon got off and then helped Dokusei up. "You're no fun." She swiftly turned to Uraraka, "Uraraka, your costume is soooo cute!"

Dokusei looked at the gravity girl and felt the equivalent of one of his kicks to his gut. He didn't know why because he had seen many attractive girls, but it appeared that Uraraka was different. "Um hey, Uraraka." Dokusei hated it when his old, shy self reared its ugly head. "That costume looks amazing on you; it really fits your personality from what I can tell." He regained control of himself quickly.

Uraraka hugged her helmet to her chest as a light blush spread across her face. "Thanks, guys, though I think it's a bit embarrassing."

"Are you ready to begin, my wards?" All Might's voice called out to the class.

Uraraka and Dokusei looked back towards the tunnel, watching the last one to arrive. "Ah Deku?! Cool costume, really practical looking!"

Dokusei looked at Midoriya. Tilting his head, he asked something that was going to bother him if he didn't. "Mordy, why do you look like a rabbit?"

Midoriya went all shy and produced a small stutter. "Uh... w-well you see. It's umm..."

"Are we all here?" All Might interrupted Midoriya. "Looking good!" Looking towards Midoriya, he coughed into his fist, muttering something under his breath.

Dokusei looked back and forth between All Might and Midoriya. A lightbulb moment went off in his head. "Oh!" Slapping the back of Midoriya's shoulder, he chuckled a bit. "I get it now. You must be a really big fan of All Might."

Midoriya just nodded his head.

Iida raised his hand, his voice getting the two green heads' attention. "Sir! This appears to be the same field used in the entrance exam. Will we once again be performing cityscape maneuvers?"

All Might answered with his classic smile. "Nope! You'll be moving on to step two." He raises his fist in the air. "Indoor anti-personnel battle training!" He then went on to explain how the more devious villains were more likely to fight indoors. Dokusei understood that, and it appeared that most of the class did as well. "You'll now be split into Villain teams and Hero teams and face off in two-on-two indoor battles!"

Tsuyu asked a question that was on everyone's mind. "So no basic training?"

"Practical experience teaches you the basics!" was the Symbol of Peace's answer. He was soon attacked by a small onslaught of questions.

"What determines victory?" Yaoyorozu asked a very logical question.

"Can I just blast everyone away?" Bakugo's was too aggressive for Dokusei's taste.

"Are you threatening to expel someone like Mr. Aizawa did?" Uraraka's was very valid; the poor girl looked worried. Dokusei patted her shoulder for comfort.

"How do we divide ourselves into teams?" Iida was the only one to raise his hand clearly.

"How fabulous is my cape?" Aoyama's was really the only stupid question thrown out there.

All Might raised a fist to his chest and looked to the sky. "One at a time! My quirk isn't super hearing!" He then pulled out what appeared to be his notes; at least he's not making it up as he went along. "Listen up! Here's the deal. The villains will be handling a nuclear weapon in their hideout. And the heroes have to go in and take care of it!" He flipped a page. "The heroes have a limited amount of time to either capture the villains or secure the weapon. The villains must either capture the heroes or protect the weapon until time is up!" He then pulled out an opened box with the word 'lots' on it. "Your battle partner will be decided by drawing lots."

Iida raised his hand again. "Is that really the best way?!"

Midoriya gave Iida an explanation. "Makes sense, because pros often have to team up with heroes from other agencies on the spot during emergencies..."

"It's also a good way to see who we work well with or not," Dokusei added in his two cents.

Iida looked between his new friends and All Might. "I see...! I apologize for getting ahead of myself, my mistake!"

All Might raised his fist high into the air. "It's fine! Now let's get to it!"

There were ten teams, each with a corresponding letter from A through J. The teams were as followed- team A: Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka- Midoriya looked like he was about to have a breakdown while Uraraka looked happy to be teamed up with him- team B: Shoto Todoroki and Eijiro Kirishima; team C: Rikido Sato and Yuga Aoyama; team D: Katsuki Bakugo and Dokusei Sumiteru- Bakugo looked ready to kill Dokusei- team E: Tenya Iida and Momo Yaoyorozu; team F: Mina Ashido and Mezo Shoji- Mina gave her partner a big thumbs up- team G: Kyoka Jiro and Toru Hagakure; team H: Denki Kaminari and Fumikage Tokoyami; team I: Tsuyu Asui and Mashirao Ojiro, and finally team J: Hanta Sero and Minoru Mineta.

"Nice! Must be fate! Let's do this!" Uraraka cheered to Midoriya.

Dokusei and Bakugo were having a stare down; well it was more like Bakugo was staring at Dokusei's mask, while the toxic one was having a small breakdown of his own. "Of all the people I could have been teamed up with, it had to be Short Fuse." He looked around for Mina, seeing her with her six armed partner. "Well at least Mimi and her partner are getting along." Looking towards Midoriya and Uraraka, seeing that Midoriya probably couldn't talk yet, he released a silent sigh. "Seems that Mordy is having trouble talking right now; lucky bastard, at least his partner is nice."

"Moving on, first up are..." All Might's voice got everyone's attention. Both of his hands were in separate boxes, one labeled "Villain" the other labeled "Hero". "The heroes are team A and the villains are team D!"

Both Bakugo's and Midoriya's heads shot up. Dokusei looked between the two. "I may have to retract that previous statement, Mordy." The two teams followed All Might to the test building. The Toxic boy looked to his friends and stuck his hand out. "Good luck, you two!" Midoriya and Uraraka shook his hand in reply back.

All Might pointed to the building. "The Villain team goes in first. The timer starts in fifteen minutes then the Hero team will sneak in. The rest of us will watch via CCTV!" He addressed the Villain team, "Sumiteru. Bakugo. You boys need to adopt a villain-like mindset! This is for practical experience, so go all out. Hold nothing back! Though I will stop you if you take things too far..."

Bakugo and Dokusei went to where their "bomb" was located. Dokusei walked up to it and knocked his knuckles across surface. "Huh, papier-mâché. At least we don't have to worry about moving it at a moment's notice."

"Hey. So Deku has a quirk...?" Bakugo got the cloaked hero's attention.

Dokusei fiddled with his mask. "You saw his impressive throw, even though it did cost him his finger." He faced Bakugo, "It's clear that he doesn't have full control over his power. My guess is that he just recently got it, a late bloomer you could say." Dokusei saw how tense Bakugo was getting, so he sighed, "You're going to go after him whether I say so or not?"

Bakugo looked ready to explode. "You're damn right I will; that damn nerd will not get in my way!" He looked Dokusei straight into the eyes of his mask. "And you're not going to stop me, got it, Villain Reject?"

Dokusei rolled his eyes; thank god his mask hid his face as he's pretty sure Bakugo would attack him if he saw that. "Crystal-clear, Boss. Just don't bring the building down on top of us; I'd like to pass with as little structural damage to the building as possible."

Bakugo walked off, leaving Dokusei with the bomb. He sighed, deciding to check his utility belt; it had a basic first aid kit, a pair of handcuffs, an assortment of throwing knives, a pair of noise canceling earbuds, about fifty feet of metal wire, and a Swiss Army knife. "Some of this I didn't even ask for, nice!"

"Indoor antipersonnel battle training, Start!" All Might's voice called out through the PA system.

Dokusei shook his head and stood guard. "Why didn't he just call it CQB training?" he asked himself.

Unbeknownst to him, All Might heard that. Said man sweat dropped. "Why didn't I call it that?"

It didn't take long for the sound of an explosion to reach Dokusei's ears. He put a finger to his ear where his communicator earpiece was located. "Short Fuse, you have confirmation on the enemy?"

Dokusei's ear was blasted when Bakugo yelled back. "Shut up, Reject, and keep watch! I'm going to wreck this damn nerd!"I

Dokusei sighed. "At least he's taking this somewhat seriously." He put his finger to his ear again, "At least let me know if they split up." A quick learner, he took out his earpiece this time for Bakugo's loud reply.

"Fine, just shut up already!"

It didn't take long for Dokusei to get an update. "Round Face is leaving."

Dokusei didn't reply; he looked around the room seeing a lot of things to hide behind, a lot of debris that Uraraka could use against him. He decided to get into a position behind a pillar where he could see the doorway but where no one from the doorway could see him. It didn't take long for the sound of footsteps to be heard.

Uraraka popped her head in. Scanning the room, she didn't spot Dokusei to her right, and she continued to walk in cautiously, still scanning for the enemy teammate. As she continued on with her task, Dokusei slipped further behind the pillar, going around and getting behind her blind spot. He slowly crept up to her, and when Uraraka was just up to the third set of pillars, he pounced into a flying roundhouse kick.

Uraraka's only warning was the sound of someone jumping. She managed to duck in time, dodging the kick that sailed passed her head. As she stood up and turned around to face her opponent, she received a sidekick to her gut. Bending over, she put her arms over her stomach, trying to draw air back into her lungs as she backed away from her attacker.

Dokusei circled around her, putting his back towards the bomb and establishing a fighting stance. "And there's our heroine, all by her lonesome." Uraraka stepped further back, steadying her breathing. "Hopefully I didn't hurt her too much."

The gravity girl put a hand to her helmet. "Deku! I've- Ah!" She dogged another kick from Dokusei; he wasn't going to let her call in that easily.

"Uraraka?!" they both heard Midoriya yell through the comms.

"It's on the fifth flo- gah!" Uraraka dogged the fourth kick but received a punch to the face, knocking her helmet off. She hastily put her hand to her ear, "Fifth floor, right in the center!" She managed to block a punch and tried to touch Dokusei's chest. However Dokusei side stepped out of reach and grabbed her wrist.

Dokusei pulled her arm forward, placed his other hand on her shoulder, and stretched out his leg enough to trip her's. The next thing Uraraka knew was that she was sailing face first into the concrete. Her assailant dug his knee into her back and raised her arm high. "Ow ow ow." Pain escaped from Uraraka's bruised face as she tried to struggle out of his hold

Dokusei chuckled. "No hard feelings? By the way, try not to move, don't want to accidentally dislocate your shoulder, now would we?"

Uraraka deflated and stopped struggling. "Yeah, no hard feelings." She was trying to think of a way out of this, but with her arm in Dokusei's control, and him on top of her, she was pretty much stuck.

Suddenly, a loud explosion shook the entire building. Dokusei lost his balance, letting go of his opponent's arm. Taking this opportunity, Uraraka rotated to her back and lunged her hands forward, landing on Dokusei's chest and making him float.

"Ah damnit!" Dokusei yelled as he flailed his arms around.

Uraraka stepped away from Dokusei and put her hand up to her ear. "Deku! Are you ok?!"

Dokusei put his finger to his ear. "WHAT THE HELL, SHORT FUSE!? Are you trying to get this building dropped on top of us!?" His eyes locked onto Uraraka, anger clear in his voice.

"Now's my chance!" Uraraka ran to the bomb.

"Oh no you don't!" he yelled, pulling out a throwing knife and the metal wire. He tied the wire around the handle of the blade and threw it at Uraraka. Wrapping the blade around her leg, he pulled hard, causing her to stumble and sending himself towards her at an alarming rate.

Uraraka looked back at her opponent once more, seeing him flying towards her. She ducked under a kick aimed at her head. His kick landed on a concrete pillar, breaking a chunk of the corner that was about the size of her head. Uraraka's face went white at that.

Dokusei took a quick look at the hole he made. "Dial it back a bit, do not let your anger get the best of you." He bounced off the pillar and landed a quick knee into Uraraka's shoulder. Raising his arm back, extending his claws, his toxins dripping from the tips, he prepared to strike.

Uraraka, seeing this, jumped back and brought her hands together. "Release!" she yelled as his arm launched towards her. However, Dokusei dropped like a stone before he could hit her.

Uraraka backed up to a pillar near a window. Her opponent cautiously got up; the beak of his mask was bent. He grabbed the mask and discarded it, showing his sweaty face under the hood. His eyes scanned hers, wondering what she was going to do next. Dokusei pulled out another throwing knife, and he quickly licked the blade, coating it in his toxins.

Dokusei didn't know what she was planning, but he'd bet that Midoriya was involved. "Did Bakugo lose? No I'm pretty sure All Might would have said something." Squinting his eyes, he wondered what would happen next.

"Okay!" Uraraka yelled as she grabbed the pillar.

Dokusei immediately raised his hand to throw the knife. "Wait, don't tell me?!" However before he could throw it, the ground before him and Uraraka exploded.

Uraraka was floating and held the pillar like a giant baseball bat. "Sorry, Sumiteru, no hard feelings!" She swung the giant pillar, knocking concrete towards Dokusei and the bomb. "Comet home run!" Dokusei used his cloak to shield himself from most of it. His eyes locked onto Uraraka, who was flying towards the bomb; she wasn't pass him yet.

Taking his only chance, he threw his knife at the girl. She tried to dodge it, but the blade cut her left arm just below the shoulder.

As Uraraka flew passed Dokusei, she pressed her hands together, making her be commanded by gravity once more. She knew she was poisoned, and its effects were immediate. Her movements were swiftly becoming sluggish, and she could barely move the fingertips on her left hand.

Dokusei, seeing that she was closing in on the bomb, made a run for Uraraka, but the floor underneath him gave out. Acting quickly, he jumped out to solid and secure ground.

"Secured!" Uraraka screamed out, although a bit slurred. She was on top of the bomb, grasping it with all of her body.

"The Hero Team wins!" All Might howled out through the PA system.

Dokusei got up and dusted himself off. Looking back at the hole, he gave a low whistle. "Now that's some damage." The attack went through most of the floors and through the ceiling.

Uraraka slowly slid off, the paralyzing toxin taking full effect. She soon realized she was falling, however before she could hit the concrete, Dokusei caught her. "Wouldn't be a good hero if I let the pretty girl fall, now would I?" he said with a smile.

She tried saying something but no words were formed, just a weak groan escaped. Her friend chuckled at this.

"Yeah paralysis will do that to you." He set her down, "Unfortunately it's going to take some time for the paralysis to wear off, and no antidote or antivenom well help hasten the process. So I need you to blink once for yes and twice for no. Got it?"

She blinked once. "He seems to know what he's doing." Her limbs were still locked in place from when she grabbed the bomb.

Dokusei took a deep breath and grabbed the back of his neck. "Okay, now I know this is going to sound weird, but hear me out." He coughed into his fist, "I'm going to massage your limbs as best I can to relax the muscles, which may involve touching you in inappropriate places." He looked away at that. "You're free to say no." He looked at her again and finally asked the real question. "So uh... Will you allow me to massage you?"

Uraraka's face was bright red. "Did he really ask me that?! I know he wants to help, but can't Recovery Girl just do it instead?" She blinked twice, "Sorry, Sumiteru," her eyes conveyed

Dokusei nodded and pulled out his first aid kit. "Understood. Can I at least bandage that cut up to save Recovery Girl the trouble?"

She blinked once. "That's more reasonable."

Dokusei gave a small bow. "Thank you, Uraraka." He soon got her arm bandaged up and waited patiently for the recovery bots to arrive to pick her up.
