The loud chatter of teenagers filled the classroom of 1-A, the students discussing their last few lessons as they prepared to go to lunch. "I must say, the faculty at UA truly does live up to expectations." Ilda spoke as he, Izuku and Ochako left the classroom.
"I know, right. Being taught by heroes is awesome. And I've gotten three autographs already." Izuku fanboyed, drawing the gazes of a few people, though he seemed oblivious to them.
"Yeah, you know, I heard Thirteen works here, you think we'll have them for any lessons?"
"Well they're a rescue hero so maybe they'll run a class related to that, and with..." The Miraculous wielder descended into muttering, only snapped out of it when he found himself exiting the lunch queue. The three took a seat, unaware of the cameras that watched them as they did.
"I don't believe I recalled giving you permission to interfere with my choices for the Miraculous, Aizawa." Nezu's voice intimidated even Aizawa, despite how the principal never once raised his voice.
"He needed to hear what I told him." Eraser looked towards the camera feeds, various students displayed upon them.
"Midoriya is a smart boy, I don't believe he is foolish enough to not attempt to solve his issue."
"I can see that, it's how long it'll take him that concerns me. If he's too weak, and loses the Miraculous, you know what will happen to you."
"I'm not concerned about the Peacock falling into malevolent hands, only those who know my true nature could use it against me. You know full well that it is why I keep myself out of the media."
"Fine, but my threat to him still stands. I won't let others be put endanger if the boy's irrationality continues." With that, Aizawa left, leaving Nezu to look down at the ring that was eternally upon his finger, the sign of his freedom from those that made him.
Class 1-A sat anxiously within their seats, it had been a few minutes since their first heroics lesson had began, yet no teacher had appeared. Just as the volume of their conversations began to increase, a soft thumping echoed from down the corridor.
The noise got louder and harder, revealing itself to be footsteps. It reached the classroom, slamming open the door: "I AM HERE... coming through the door like a normal person!" All Might burst through the door in a way which was very much not normal, and marched to the front of the class.
"Today is your first lesson of foundational heroics, it'll teach you all the basics of being a pro. Think of it as heroics 101. But before that..." The symbol of peace pulled a remote from his pocket, using it to open multiple panels within the wall. "These are the costumes you submitted to the support department, now is the time to try them out!"
"Ah, there you are Midoriya, I had noticed you were not present within the changing rooms. Though with hindsight, I suppose the nature of your quirk does not require you to do so." Ilda wore a full body suit, its appearance a mix of medieval armour and a modern car. Izuku swore he had seen the design before, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Nice costume, Ilda. What's it do?" Izuku pulled a notebook out of thin air, flipping to his page on the blue haired boy.
"It's aerodynamic, unfortunately some of that had to be sacrificed for the other components. The other crucial detail is the cooling fluid in-"
"Hey guys!" Ilda was cut off by Uraraka running up to the group, a bright smile upon her face: "Your costume is awesome Ilda. Mine's a bit smaller than I'd have liked, but it does everything I wanted it to."
"I must say, you're costumes all turned out fantastic!" All Might cut off the student's conversations, drawing their attention. "I'm going to be throwing you into the deep end today, that means battle training. The rules are simple, teams will comprise of two people-" Multiple cheers sounded through the class. "Chosen randomly." The cheers quickly became mumbled complaints.
"Those teams will be split into heroes and villains, the villains must protect a bomb within a building, while the heroes must takedown the villains or disarm the bomb. Any questions?"
"Is it truly the most appropriate to choose randomly?"
"Will we be expelled if we do bad?"
"Does this cape make me sparkle more than usual?"
After All Might had tackled the barrage of questions, the teams were chosen. Izuku was lucky enough to end up with Uraraka, unfortunately, his luck was balanced out by his opponents. "First up, team A as the heroes vs team C as the villains."
Izuku was on team C, while A was composed of Ilda, along with the person Izuku really didn't want to fight. Bakugou stared daggers at him, the sadistic smile on his face telling Izuku everything he needed to know about Bakugou's plan.
"Uraraka, Midoriya, follow me please." All Might led the two through the grey concrete building, stopping at a large one room near the centre, a giant fake bomb standing inside. "You have five minutes to prepare. Good luck!" The hero was gone faster than either teen could see, leaving them to prepare.
"Prep time is up! Heroes may now enter the building!" All Might's announcement gave way to a loud explosion, Bakugou's sudden start and greater mobility within the corridors causing him to overtake Ilda.
He listened carefully in between the sounds of his explosions, muffled footsteps reaching his ears. Bakugou rounded the corner, Izuku stood firm in-front of him. His charge was interrupted as the green haired boy clasped an object onto his wrist, the moment it closed fully, he disappeared.
"OI! Don't you run from me!" Bakugou rushed forwards, however his swinging right arm was caught by the invisible Izuku, who threw Bakugou down the corridor.
"I never said I would run, Kachaan. I'm done running." Enhanced speed carried Izuku towards Bakugou, explosions and grunts of pain filling the other wise empty hallway.
"Ah!" Izuku staggered back, the Senti-monster around his arm falling to the ground, ending his invisibility. A light flashed on one of the large gauntlets that Bakugou held, a sadistic grin spreading across his face.
"These gauntlets are destined to store my sweat, then release it all at once. With all your creepy not taking, I'm sure you know what that means." Bakugou raised his arm, and readied the weapon.
"Bakugou, NO! You'll kill him!"
"He'll be fine as long as he dodges!" All Might's warning was ignored as the blonde fired his support item, an inferno springing from the barrel.
"Voyage!"
