After Iron Man announced the winners being the hero team, the rest of the class were in shock by the outcome looking at their classmates, Wanda dropped to her knees panting as Azari comforted her, Peter's wrist was bleeding and bruised along with his costume being slightly scorned from Flash's missile and him having some bruising from the beating, he looked like he was gonna collapse while Flash just stared in disbelief
Amadeus: this is insane. The losers are practically unharmed and the winners are on the ground
Tyrone: what's the saying they lost the battle, but won the war
Gwen: this class is crazy. I love it!" she pumped her fist in the air
Iron Man went out to the field to see robots carry Peter to the nurse's office, he then looked over to Flash, who was shaking
Flash: my attacks... Parker predicted them.. he made me look like an idiot and found a way to win the exercise' he thought starting to hyperventilate slowly remembering Peter's words of not losing to Flash and beating him. But it ended when Iron Man put an hand on his shoulder
Iron Man: hey kid, cool your jets. Lets go review your work. Whether you win or lose, looking back and learning from your experiences is a part of life. As long as you're willing to learn
In the monitor room, Iron Man showed up with Flash, Azari and Wanda with the rest of the class while Peter was taken to Night Nurse's office, the screen showed the Team A won and Team D lose
Iron Man: well, despite the results I say Azari is the MVP of this" this shocked the class
Gwen: hey wait, shouldn't that be one of the heroes who won?
Iron Man: what a valid question. Why didn't I choose one of them? Anyone know the answer?
Riri: I can, Iron Man" she raised her hand "because Azari embraced this challenge. He was the only one who truly adapted to his assigned role. I'll explain. Flash's judgment was clouded by a personal grudge against Peter. As you pointed out earlier, launching a large‐scale attack indoors was a dangerous move. It could have been disastrous. Similarly, Peter's plan was also poorly thought out, considering the amount of damage that he received. He goated Flash into using a dangerous weapon against him, rendered himself helpless and putting himself, his partner and everyone else in danger using it. Not smart. As for Wanda... She let her guard down mid‐battle, and her final attack was far too reckless given the hypothetical stakes. If she'd treated the fake weapon as though it were real, she never would've risked using such an imprecise move. Azari was fully prepared for his opponent's arrival. He had a strategy, and never lost sight of his mission to protect the weapon, even if he was foiled in the end" Azari felt a sense of pride from her words while Wanda felt disappointment from the criticism and Flash was in his mind thinking of the match against Peter "technically, the hero team won, yeah, but they took advantage of the fact that this was training. They didn't respect the spirit of the trial" Iron Man and the class looked to her at how thoroughly explained her answer
Iron Man: that was.. very informative' he thought then looking at her in that suit of armor, seeing and wondering how she was able to built or get it, he knew she was smart, but was for another time he'd have to ask her about it "yes... I also would've brought up Azari could've relaxed a little too, but what you said was correct... well done"
Riri Williams: One of the five students admitted to the hero course based on recommendations.
Iron Man: alright then, lets change locations and start the second match. Think about everything we saw and discussed as you tackle this training for yourself.
Class 1-A: yes, sir!
In Battle Building B
Iron Man: match two! Team B will be the heroes and Team I will be villains!
Outside of the building was Robbie and Nico while inside was Tandy and Riri with the weapon
Tandy: okay, what's the plan?" she asked her partner while stretching, she was wearing a simple outfit, an white and grey jumpsuit with long sleeves and stopped at a collar around her neck, showed her slim and curves, an imprint of an sword in her upper body chest area. She had a white crescent moon around her right eye
Riri: protect the weapon. I'll come at them fast" her face plate of her armor closed
Iron Man: look alive kids, the second indoor combat training match starts now!' the timer started counting down
Nico: X-Ray Glasses!" she said through her staff, summoning a pair of x-ray specs to appear and land into her hands, she put them on, activating them looking through the building until she found Team I and their weapon. Her costume was similar to Wanda's in a way, but her's was more gothic, she was wearing a black sash cloak around her neck with an wicca star amulet symbol attached to it, black and purple lace part of her dress in the art of her bust and shoulders, leotard was tight showing her curves, her skirt was black and went to the middle of her thighs, matched with her high heel boots and pantyhose with purple and black stripes. She was wearing black lipstick and eyeshadow "one's in the hall on the north side of the fourth floor. And looks like the other's on the move flying through the wall possibly heading our way, probably coming to ambush and capture us"
Robbie: alright. Stay here" he walked inside
Nico: hey wait, shouldn't we-" before she could finish, Robbie looked back at her with fire in his eyes taking her by surprise slightly
Robbie: I'll end this quick" he continued moving forward. Riri saw Robbie approaching, she skidded against the floor stopping, aiming her palms at him preparing to fire repulsor beams at the boy as she did. Robbie summoned a chain of fire with a knife at the end, he spun it around blocking the beams he swerved extending the chain outward skidding the floor slightly and slashing Riri's armor in her chest area, cutting through causing the girl to be pushed back, gasped, panting hard luckily she wasn't physically touched only the armor cut, she wanted to move, but was too shocked to. Robbie moved onward as he did, the building seem to be getting hotter, he seemed to be generating heat from his body when he reached the location of where the other team's weapon was along with Tandy. He found her sweating and panting, holding pure white dagger knifes in her hands, when she saw him enter, she threw one of the daggers at him, but he effortlessly dodged it, she ready to throw her other dagger when "you can keep trying, but you're just gonna exhaust your air" he walked toward her, Tandy then decided to hold off as he passed her going to the bomb and touched it winning for his team
Iron Man: he didn't cause any damage to his teammate or the weapon and on top of that, he weakened his enemies without causing them severe damage" the students either fan themselves or pulling their collars because of the heat
Danny: he's really strong" Flash looked stunned seeing Robbie in action and how he won for his team single handedly won, it was then Flash learned it was a big world in wanting to be the best
Iron Man: the hero teams win
Robbie reproduced the heat in the building
Robbie: sorry. But we're at different levels
Roberto 'Robbie' Reyes
Quirk: Spirit of Vengeance: passed upon him, allows him to create and control iron fire chains and generate fire as well as present the look of penance, fatal at worse. He's another one of the five students admitted to the hero course based on recommendations.
Luke: man, that guy's hardcore
Pietro: that Quirk of his" he was taken by Robbie's Quirk
Gwen: that's the strength of someone who got in through recommendations
Iron Man: alright gather around of the review of the second match. We'll start the third match" Flash balled his fist shaking while gritting his teeth
Class 1-A: yes sir!
Battle Building C
For the third match inside was Team J acting as the villains which was Danny and Amadeus standing in front of their weapon, preparing for their opponents. Danny had his mask pulled down, he held in his fist against his palm, his fist started to glow yellow
Daniel 'Danny' Reid
Quirk: Chi Manipulation: he's able to concentrate chi, his vital energy, in certain parts of his body enhancing the strength of that part, usually his fist
Amadeus pounded both his fists together
Entering inside of the building warping was Tyrone
Tyrone Johnson
Quirk: Darkforce: connection to a dark dimension gives him access to abilities of traveling between shadows, intangibility and fields of force darkness.
Leaping through an window was Gwendolyn, who cartwheeled and backflipped landing with one leg, doing an karate crane stance
Gwen: whoa" Tyrone smiled at her, lighting the mood, they made the Team H acting as the heroes "thank you writers for giving me a fun way of entering the building!" that still confused Tyrone, but he chose to ignore it and continued on
Battle Building D
For the fourth match inside was Team C acting as the villains which was Kei and Laura. Kei's red reptile/cat hybrid monster that he drew, that had flaming claws as well as tail spikes he named it Fireclaw, was in front ready to attack with Kei on top of him. Laura was standing next to Fireclaw, rubbing her wrist while sniffing the air of smelling her opponents. Kei looked down at her with his notebook, doing some sneaky drawing, hoping she would never see. Laura looked up at the boy, thinking he had something on his mind, giving him a glare, squeezing her fist and suddenly two blades popped out of her knuckles scaring Kei
Laura Kinney
Quirk: Feral: she has capabilities of a savage being, refined senses, reflexes, speed, regeneration and sharp retractable claws in her hands and feet. She's one of the five students admitted into the hero course
Somewhere in the hallway of the building, Seol Hee waited for her partner to gather information, Seol was medium height, she had pale skin, her eyes were presenting with heterochromia the right was light blue while the left was brown, her hair was short reaching down her cheeks and bi-colored black at the root, but the left side was white. Her costume was simple, a dark blue and white banded top, under a black leather jacket with only the right sleeve that covered her entire arm and having her hand in a black leather glove, her left arm had a short sleeve and wore a sort of glove on her forearm, but nothing in her hand. She also wore white and black micro shorts with a white belt each with an emblem of a white snowflake and a black crescent moon, she wore black high boots and pantyhose with thick fabric on her thighs.
A silver and blue blur passed her, making a small gust of wind that blew her hair to the side, looking over she saw it was her partner Pietro, the two was Team G acting as the heroes. He kept his breath, silently pointing in the direction and location of the other team and their weapon, Seol nodded at him, walking ahead putting her hand on the wall leaving a freeze trail that increased and consume more and more of the building
Seol Hee
Quirk: Cryokinesis: she has the ability to reduce the kinetic energy of atoms and thus reduce temperature to control or generate ice.
Battle Building E
Last building for the final match, Team F consisting of Luke and Groot acting as the villains standing guard their weapon ready for the other team. Groot is an alien, he's an humanoid made entirely of wood, he was tall, slim looking with big brown eyes, he had branches that formed in a kind of ponytail on the back of his head and neck. Groot grew vines to close the weapon wrapping it in a sort of wooden cocoon
Groot
Quirk: Flora Colossus: his species is defined by his Quirk, being a tree-like being, he could manipulate his body to grow limbs. They also grow at a faster rate than normal humans, having super strength, durability, stamina, regenerative healing ability and plant generation.
Somewhere in the hallway of the building, Sam was floating through the corridors while his partner Kamala they were Team E acting as heroes. Kamala was in front she accidentally activated her Quirk in enlarging her fist, knocking Sam to the ground, who groan rubbing his head
Kamala: oops, sorry
Iron Man smiled under his helmet, seeing the pairs act as the respective parts of being heroes and/or villains, he was honestly proud of this generation of young heroes. Later after the exercises were finished, Iron Man stood in front of the class again in the Beta City ground location, outside the locker room
Iron Man: nice work everyone. Aside from Mr. Parker, we didn't have any major injures
Laura: not yet" she glared down at Kei, who shivered after she seen his notebook
Iron Man: you took the training seriously and did a good job for your first training
Gwen: man, it's nice to hear some encouraging words after our homeroom class. Mr. Murdock may be cool, but kind of a buzzkill.
Iron Man: I'm happy to bring such staggering positivity to my alma mater! That's all for now, folks. I should go and check on Mr. Parker's progress! Make should to change and head back to the classroom. Now, watch how a pro exits" he then soared off down the exit corridor leaving a gust of wind, amazing, surprising and confusing the class
Tandy: he such was in a hurry
Pietro: Iron Man is so cool!
Kei: awesome
Iron Man looked back seeing Flash, seeing the boy was down about the match, he knew the boy had a sense of pride about him along with an ego, he knew he had to talk to him about it, but right now his armor was close to draining until he found and entered an exit door, closing it behind him, showing his skinny and paler self panting
At Night Nurse's office
Claire: this is the third time he's been in the infirmary and classes just started, he's becoming a regular" she scolded "have anything to say Mr. Stark?"
Tony: what? I can't visit a student in the infirmary?" he shrugged rubbing the back of his neck, not wearing his armor "but how is he" he looked over to Peter, who was sleeping in the bed with his arm bandage and in a sling "I wanted to stop it, but.. I knew he needed it"
Claire: well, because of his exhaustion of the training I can't use my Quirk. So I gave him a serum and basic bandaging his arm, he should improve overnight
Tony: that's good. Happy to hear it
Claire: but this him? The boy who lost his uncle? Your protege?" she looked at Tony with an raised eyebrow
Tony:.. yeah. You know?
Claire: Pepper's husband doesn't pay attention to her so she invited me to lunch last week" she smirked, referring to him how Pepper talked how sometimes Tony was so busy being a hero he forgot about her at times in being a husband
Tony: yeah, got the message" he rubbed the back of his neck "but you mind keeping this to yourself? Most of the staff already know of my condition, but few know of the kid's Quirk"
Claire: don't worry I know how to keep a secret, but being Number 1 is that important
Tony: if I'm not, bad guys will rise up against the society even more" Claire huffed smiling
Claire: alright. Now get out of here, I got work to do Mr. Number 1
Tony: right, always a pleasure Claire
A while after Tony left, Peter started waking up after having a few daydreams of his life, he found himself in a white room, looking around he still had his costume or what was left of it after his fight with Flash, he saw the bandage on his arm and serum connected to his other arm even noticed the clock on the wall seeing the time
Peter: its late noon?
Claire: oh you're awake
Peter: huh?" he looked to her
Claire released Peter from her office as he headed back to class, he missed his afternoon classes, but hoped maybe he could borrow notes from Wanda or Azari and hoping Mr. Murdock wouldn't wrap him with his billy club like he did Flash
Peter opened the door entering into the classroom when he did
Amadeus: hey, Parker's here!" he shouted getting the rest of the classes attention seeing Peter come in, taking him by surprise he saw them out of their costumes, they were in their school uniforms "good work out there! Dude, I don't know what you said during the match, but you were awesome!"
Danny: it was really amazing seeing you fight Flash, who was first in the entrance exam
Kamala: you did a great job dodging!
Luke: seeing you guys act in the first match, made the rest of us give it our all, too
Sam: you weren't half bad, but-"
Kamala: your relaxes were amazing!" she jumped up and down in joy interrupting Sam
Peter: e-eh?
Amadeus: I'm Amadeus Choi. We were all going over training together" he pointed to his partner during the exercise Danny
Danny: I'm Daniel Rand, but call me Danny
Sam: I'm Samuel Alexander, but call me Sam-"
Kamala: I'm Kamala Khan!" she interrupted him again
Gwen: I'm Gwendolyn Poole! Call me Gwen!
Luke: Carl Lucas, but I prefer Luke Cage
Peter: umm.. nice to meet you guys
Kei: I'm Kei Kawade!" he jumped up in front of Peter
Danny: where did you come from?
Sam: hey MA's rising star here!" he tried getting their attention, but failing
Tyrone: you guys are too loud" he looked to the crowd sitting on a desk
Tandy: speaking like you're the mystery lone wolf" she joked standing next to Tyrone
Azari: Mr. Johnson!" he went over to them "that desk isn't a chair! Please get off it!" he ordered
Seol: dude chill out, its just a desk" she stood next to Tyrone and Tandy
Tandy: learn to relax" she told him causing Azari to sigh in how they weren't taking him seriously
Azari: you people, sorry I can't condone actions that disrespect the desks. Not when the great men and women who were our upperclassmen once used them
Tyrone: now you're loud" the others looked to Azari at his explanation and passion. Suddenly a pair of familiar twins entered in carrying stacks of books
Pietro: so mom wants to go out for dinner, what are you need to mood for?" he asked his sister
Wanda: how about- Peter!" she then looked over to see her partner and friend and ran over to him, even Pietro saw "are you okay?" she asked in concern
Peter: y-yeah, I'm fine
Pietro: your injures all healed up?" he came up behind his sister asking Peter
Peter: yeah Night Nurse said I didn't have much stamina to her Quirk, what about you?" he asked Wanda
Wanda: oh I'll live, but Azari's power isn't a joke" she smiled rubbing the back of her head
Peter: that's great" he smiled. Pietro looked at the two, smirking seeing them interact with each other was funny to him. Peter then looked to an empty seat that was in front of his that belong to Flash "hey Wanda. Where's Flash?"
Wanda: We tried to stop him from leaving. But he wouldn't listen. You just missed him" Peter started running through the halls and down stairs of the building, despite of his bandages, he pushed through in finding his rival, he felt he own Flash an explanation remembering his words of Peter saying he tricked him. Reaching the final floor leading to the entrance, he saw Flash in uniform with his backpack over, walking away from the building
Peter: Flash!" he ran to approach him "hey Flash!" Flash stopped turning his head to him looking annoyed
Flash: what?" Peter was a little unease, he hadn't even told his aunt about his Quirk so for Flash
Peter: there's one thing I should tell you. My Quirk didn't come normally, I was lucky to get it
Flash: huh?
Peter: I can't tell you how I got it, though. Feels like I'm in a comic book. I still get hurt when I use part of it, I have to learn to control it. I tried beating you without it, but in the end I had to, even if it brought consequences, had rely on Wanda mostly" Flash seemed to be more and more irritated with his words "but I will dominate this Quirk making it better, make it mine and beat you" when he finished, the boys just looked at each other
Flash: are you screwing with me Parker? Getting lucky with an Quirk? Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot. You already made a fool outta me in that damn training exercise. So? Did you come here to rub it in? I lost. And to make matters worse, it was to you. I came in first in the exam, but that's not enough. When I was watching that dude with chains and I knew that I couldn't beat him! I reviewed the training and realized that the iron girl was right the missile inside an enclosed area was stupid! I understand! So listen Parker, you enjoy your win now! You won't get another! I'm just getting started! Got that?! I'm gonna end up the number‐one hero. You won't beat me again" he and Peter stared at each other with determine looks a brief moment before Flash turned and walked away, Peter sighed when suddenly he felt a strong gust wind nearly knock him down, looked to see it was Iron Man passing by him in high speeds heading to Flash
Iron Man: Mr. Thompson" he put his hand on Flash's shoulder, stopping him "just wanted you know, pride is an important attribute to have. You definitely have the skills to become a pro hero, there's still plenty you have to learn"
Flash: get your hand off me, Iron Man
Iron Man: hm?
Flash: I'll become a hero that suppresses even you, so save your speeches" he glared back at the hero
Iron Man: oh, alright" he removed his hand from the teen's shoulder, watching him leave the school "well that went well. Guess he's already over it" 'man being a teacher is hard' he thought
Watching from the top of building on the first year floor, not able to hear, but could tell it was drama
Kamala: what was that?
Wanda: the fated battle between rivals
Gwen: this is getting good, can't wait for more chapters" she ate out of her bucket of popcorn
Wanda and Kamala: hmm?" they looked at her confusedly
Gwen: nothing
Peter: Flash's has fuse was lit' he thought looking at his rival still walking away 'but it doesn't change what I have to do. I catch up to him'
Iron Man: kid. What were you and Mr. Thompson talking about before I showed up?
Peter: oh. Uh" he couldn't tell him he almost revealed the secret of receiving his Quirk to Flash
Iron Man: I'm curious. Why don't you tell me all the juicy details?
Peter: would you look at the time. I gotta go. May's probably worried about me!" he ran off inside the building
Iron Man: hey, Parker!" he called out to him
To Be Continued
Jade: here's the next chapter
Julie: this was another tricky one, we know Nico probably shouldn't have the X-Ray goggles they belonged to Alex, but we just went with it to fit into the story a bit and since she's in Shoji's position, we figured
Jade: we did kinda back track on Riri with her giving an very detail review on the first match and she tried going at Robbie and Nico full force, not an good move we know
Julie: Robbie taking her down, his chain doesn't touch her, but damage her armor enough for her that she couldn't move at least and he gave off heat from his fire power without producing the flames like Shoto did
Jade: we have five kids for recommendation in the school, one more then BNHA, we picked Riri as one of them because we thought if she was able to built her own Iron Man armor she definitely should be one of them
Julie: next chapter we will have Tony and Riri talk about her armor, it'll be a side chapter
Jade: we'll try to update the next soon, but until then
Julie: tell us what you think
