"So what's on your wrists, bro?" Kirishima asked, pointing to her friend's wrists that had two inventions on them, one on each wrist. Even though it was the day after they chose their class president and vice president (the former being Iida Tomoyo and and the latter being Yaoyorozu Momo), rough cliques had started to form. Kirishima, Bakugo, Sero, and Kaminari were in a corner of the room, chatting amongst themselves, while Jirou and Hagakure had gravitied to Momo. Iida, Uraraka, and Tsuyu were in another corner, and the rest were loners.

"Oh, this?" Kaminari said with pride, "Midori built this just for me," she answered with high praise in her tone of voice.

"What does it do?" Bakugo asked, looking up and examining from a distance the devices.

"It allows me to shoot my electricity from a distance. I think I'm gonna call them: The Arc Shooters!" the girl explained with a little flourish. "No matter what Yaoyorozu said about the man, he really is a genius!" she defended him with a knowing look.

"Glad to see someone sees his talents. Just because he's a man doesn't mean he's stupid," Katsumi agreed with her.

"Where is that man anyways? Class is about to start any second now," Sero asked, looking out for the little guy.

"The nerd is busy with an invention, he should be here soon," Bakugo answered, putting away her smartphone.

Without warning a green fluidic portal opened up at the entrance to the classroom, with Midoriya stepping out carrying a large donut box, adjusting with his free hand a glowing V-shaped device on the center of his sternum, it protruding about an inch or two off his body. "Hey, everyone. I had to beat an old lady with a stick to get these donuts," he joked. "Who wants one?"

Everyone (barring Yaoyorozu) scrambled to get a donut, the box quickly emptying as each person got their favorite.

"Thanshs, Midoshia!" Mina managed to get out with a mouthful of the delicacy.

"Yeah thanks, bro!" Kirishima thanked, chewing loudly on a jelly donut.

"You're welcome," he said, ignoring the scrutinizing glare from Momo. It was honestly bothersome for him to keep noticing her glares, as she did so near-constantly whenever they shared a room. He sighed before looking about the room, noticing that their homeroom teacher was missing. "Where's Aizawa-sensei?"

Suddenly the door to the classroom opened up as a large blond muscular woman entered. "I'm coming in like a normal person!" came the heroic voice of the number one pro heroine, All Might. She strode through the door and near the teacher's desk while wearing an older heroine costume that was prominently red, white, and blue, with a flowing cape following behind her. "As you all hopefully know, I am All Might, the number one pro heroine of Japan. And you all are hero hopefuls, am I right?" she asked rhetorically, getting cheers from the class. "Excellent! And you, young man, I'm glad to see you got in! I always knew your inventions would get you through the practical, Young Midoriya," she said with her signature smile.

"I'm sorry, but have we met before?" Midoriya pondered, realizing that All Might looked suspiciously like that Toshiko woman. Under his breath he muttered, "JARVIS, pull up a side by side of All Might and that blond woman from the beach, Toshiko something."

"At once, Sir."

All Might sweat-dropped at her mistake as she carried on, "Nevermind! Everyone grab your hero costumes!" she said as she pulled out a device with a single button on it. She pressed it and out of nowhere silver suitcases began popping up, and on the side was a number corresponding to their name placement. Kacchan smiled ferally as she got her suitcase, but noticed that her future husband was distracted by something that was being displayed on his sunglasses.

"Sir, there's 98.32% chance that they are one of the same," JARVIS informed, showing the two of them side by side on his lenses. And by god, they did look alike, eerily so. Something to question later as Midoriya got his hands on his special suitcase that looked completely different from the others, being red and gold in color, akin to his suitcase suit (the Mark V); much to the approval of his childhood friend.

"Now, all of you get changed and meet me at Grounds B for your combat training!" All Might told them, leaving very quickly after.

"They say the clothes make the woman, and in your case it totally does!" All Might agreed with the old proverb, judging each of her students on their heroine costumes. Bakugo Katsumi looked absolutely deadly and lethal with her awesome-looking grenade-themed bracers, Yaoyorozu Momo's looked way too scandalous from the lack of clothing, Hagakure Toru's was an even more extreme lack of clothing, and then there was the suit of armor. It was red and gold in color, the faceplate being gold while the arms and legs being mostly red in color. The center of the torso had a glowing circle on it, giving the whole thing a very foreboding atmosphere. "Um, who is it in the suit of armor?"

"Me, All Might-sensei!" Midoriya announced before the helmet retracted and revealed his face, the diamond-shaped freckles being prominent on his "generic" face.

"That's your hero costume?" she asked, not in a mocking or callous way, but more confused and wondering. "How can you move in that heavy thing? How are you supposed to dodge?"

"There's an exoskeleton in the construction of my Iron Man suit, ma'am. I can move, but I'm more of a walking tank than an acrobat," Midoriya patiently explained, getting awed looks at his impressive suit of armor.

All Might shrugged, seemingly placated at his response.

Until a certain woman decided to intervene:

"All Might-sensei, isn't that clearly a violation in what a hero costume is? Shouldn't that man," Yaoyorozu said with thinly-veiled disgust, "be forced to go without it? It's clearly more 'support gear' than a hero costume."

"She is a mythic bitch," Midoriya remarked quietly. He said the next part at a normal tone of voice, "JARIVS?" he asked his personal AI, turning on the loudspeakers incorporated into his suit.

"'A costume is a distinguishing outfit worn by Heroes, Villains, and Vigilantes. Hero costumes are often equipped with gear to help Pro Heroes do their jobs more effectively, reducing risk to themselves while increasing their in-field efficiency. They also help the public recognize them and distinguish themselves from other heroes,'" JARVIS explained, shocking everyone with his voice.

"Who was that?!" Ashido asked.

"Oh that? That's Midoriya's AI called JARVIS. But back to the topic at hand, JARVIS is right, Midoriya's Iron Man suit is definitely more a costume than support gear."

"But he doesn't have a quirk!" Momo vainly pointed out.

"Young Iida and this 'JARVIS' is right, Young Yaoyorozu. Young Midoriya, I'll allow your exotic 'Iron Man' suit," All Might said, giving a thumbs-up to the man. "Now, can we please get back to the lesson plan?" she asked, knowing that nobody will go against her. The number one pro heroine pulled out a piece of paper that looked like a pre-written script as she began to read aloud, "You all will be doing two on two mock battles, heroes versus villains, that sort of thing. We'll be drawing lots to determine who'll be the heroes and who'll be the villains. Who wants to go first?"

Everyone rushed towards the pro heroine to be put on a team immediately, All Might being overwhelmed for a second or two until she got it under control. The first up was Team A (Uraraka Ochaco and Sero Hanako) as the villains, versus Team B (Shoji Misuzu and Todoroki Shiho) as the heroines. It was a wash, as in the first ten seconds of the battle starting Todoroki froze the entire building in a blink of an eye, leading them to win.

The next matchup was Team H (Tokoyami Fumika and Asui Tsuyu) as heroines versus Team I (Ojiro Masayo and Hagakure Toru) as villains. The heroine team did decently well, outmatching the villain team. When it got to Team G (Kaminari Denkiko and Mineta Minori) as the heroines versus Team E (Ashido Mina and Aoyama Yuumi), Midoriya watched on proudly as Mineta stuck her enemies to the ground using her quirk while Kaminari used her Arc Shooters for an easy knock-out.

It went on and on like this until it was finally Team J (Kirishima Eriko and Midoriya Izuku) as the villains against Team C (Yaoyorozu Momo and Jirou Kyoka), the heroines.

They were given ten minutes to prep for the hero team, more than enough in Midoriya's opinion. He and Kirishima were on the third floor of the building, guarding the fake bomb. "So Midori-bro, wait, can I call you that?" Midoriya nodded. "So what's the plan?"

Izuku looked momentarily shocked as he pointed to himself, "You want to hear what I have to say?"

"Yeah! My girl Kaminari was singing your praises earlier today, saying how much of a genius you are, and I gotta say she's right! You built all those cool inventions, so you must be smart."

"…thanks," he said, blushing a bit. "But, uh, the plan is this," he said before commanding the SDT on his suit to come out and fire a green ray of energy at the fake-plaster bomb. It enveloped the fake bomb until it shrunk rapidly until it was the size of a small paperclip. He picked it up and placed it in inside his suit's pocket, keeping it hidden from the opposing team.

"Woah, how'd you do that?!"

"With science," he said simply as he approached the exit door.

"Wait! Where are you going, bro?" Kirishima asked, thinking they'd do better if they stayed together.

"I've got a woman to fight," he replied as he opened the door and exited, hearing All Might's voice announce it was time to start. Midoriya strode through the hallways of the building with slight confidence, knowing that his suit would be a huge deterrent to most of the class's quirks. He walked his way through the tight corridors until he finally met up with the heroine team. The two girls nodded to each other as Kyoka departed and left them, probably to fight Kirishima if he was correct.

"You!" Yaoyorozu said vehemently, her eyes narrowing at the sight of him. She created a Bo staff from her arm and twirled it in circles before aiming it at him. "How much longer are you going to keep up the act? A month? A week?!"

"What act?" he questioned, leveling his two repulsors at her.

"Your whole 'I'm a genius and I can build things' routine, it's become very grating," she explained.

"You're very grating," Izuku countered under his breath.

"And a bitch," Desiree commented, watching the scene unfold between the two.

"I can't believe principal Nozomi let such a charlatan into the heroine course when you're such an obvious liar," she thought aloud. "I mean, she's supposed to be the smartest being on the planet but she let you in."

"Are you actually insulting the all-knowing Nozomi? She could be listening to us right now, you know," he pointed out.

"Please," she said dismissively. "She has better things to do then listen or watch me beat you."

Midoriya retracted his helmet to show his unamused face, "You literally have a stick to fight me with. What the hell are you going to do, huh?" he mocked, as he made a "come here" gesture, putting his helmet back on. She took the bait as she charged at him and he let her hit him multiple times, unfazed by the weak strikes. "My turn," he said evilly as he fired a non-lethal repulsor blast at Yaoyorozu, who dropped her Bo staff and quickly materialized a medieval shield to block it. "Fascinating, you can create whatever you want, is that correct?" he asked as he ripped the shield away and then blasted her into a nearby wall. She wasn't stunned for long before she made a Russian matryoshka doll, which hid a flash grenade inside. Thankfully JARVIS cut the video feed temporarily so he wasn't blinded before turning it back online. "But you'll have to do better if you want to stop me," he egged on. This time Momo attacked him with by materializing a fireman's axe, it making a small dent in his armor that he'd need to buff out later.

Yaoyorozu didn't want to admit it but the armor was actually holding up against her attacks. Had she been wrong about the man? No no no, she couldn't have been. She decided to pull out the big guns and quite literally pulled a 12 gauge shotgun to shoot him with. She pulled the trigger and the lethal buckshot hit his armor, but it did practically nothing, much to her dismay.

Midoriya walked with purpose to his adversary and then struck her in the head with his metal fist, knocking her out cold as she fell limbly to the ground. "That was easy," he remarked, scanning her vitals with JARVIS to ensure she wasn't dead (she wasn't).

"And the villains win!" All Might announced, ending the mock battle.

"Now, who can tell me who the MVP is?" All Might asked, looking over her students and seeing some raised hands. "Young Iida?"

"Yes, sensei! I believe it was the man, Midoriya."

"And why?" the heroine asked, knowing that was the correct answer.

"He clearly had the advantage in both gear and strategy, as he shrunk the bomb and placed it within his impenetrable suit, making it impossible for the heroine team to win. He also took down one of the best women in class for her very versatile quirk, Yaoyorozu, like she was a gnat. For that reason I think he is the MVP," Tomoyo explained.

"Correct on all parts, Young Iida! Yes indeed, the man was a fierce combatant and a worthy adversary; but it is sadly the end of the combat training," she said, getting a bunch of groans from her students. "Yes yes, I know. Bummer, really. But it's time for you all to undress and return to your homeroom," she lightly commanded, watching as most of the class went to the female locker rooms, save for Midoriya who simply told his suit to get off him as it detached from his body. He keyed in the location of his lab at Geonosis and the suit walked itself into the portal, leaving him alone with the pro heroine. "I must say, Young Midoriya, that suit is quite impressive. Unfortunately I have to be somewhere else, so goodbye!" she suddenly said before taking off to the skies.

"She's definitely that Toshiko woman," Midoriya said as he pushed his JARVIS sunglasses up his nose, before opening a portal to the entrance of classroom 1-A.

"Indeed, Sir," his AI agreed with him as his creator stepped through the portal, being the first to arrive. The classroom then began to fill up with the rest of the remaining students, all of them getting into their seats or going to their respective cliques, waiting for the bell to ring to signal the end of the day.

As Izuku rested at his desk he requested to JARVIS to pull up a videofeed of the nurse's office to see how that stuck-up girl was, as he probably gave her concussion from the bonk he gave her. His AI managed to do so, and upon discovering she was still all right he turned off the feed, ready to go home.

"Hey, Midori!" Kaminari greeted as she walked up to his desk with a pink-skinned friend in tow. "This is Ashido Mina, in case you didn't catch her name."

"Hi, Midori!" Mina enthusiastically waved hi to him, her black sclera eyes widening as she did it. "Kaminari told me you do commissions," she revealed loudly with a giddy smile.

"I do, if it's an interesting challenge," he said before noticing that almost everyone in the room was paying attention to their private conversation with Iida, Uraraka, and Jirou in particular being interested in what was happening. He had to be careful what he said next, lest he attracts undesirable attention. "What's your quirk?"

"My quirk is called Acid, it allows me to produce a corrosive liquid from my body; I can control how corrosive it can be though," Ashido explained.

Midoriya adopted a thinking pose as he muttered to himself, "Hmm, seems like a good offensive and defensive quirk, especially if you were to surround yourself in it like an armor of sorts. Depending on how corrosive the acid it must affect the time it takes to dissolve any number of things. But that would probably harm the skin of the user, so she must have a built-up immunity to it, or rather—"

"Izuku, you're mumbling again," his childhood friend pointed out, slapping him on the back to rouse him from his thinking.

"Oh, sorry. Thanks, Kacchan," he said before the bell ringed, signalling to them that they could leave. "Sorry, I have to go. Text me later," Midoriya said as he scribbled down his phone number and handed it over to the pink-skinned girl. He and Katsumi left soon after, leaving them behind.

"Oh my god, a guy gave me his number!" Mina squealed within the confines of her mind.

How exhilarating!

In a certain nurse's room, that which being Recovery Girl's, a young woman awoke from her slumber, blinking wearily at the ceiling above her.

Why was she here?

It came back to her slowly.

Being put on Team C with Jirou, fighting that man in "his" suit of armor, getting her ass kicked…

She sat upright with urgency, getting slightly lightheaded in the process, wanting to get revenge on that cheating, no-good manwhore. There was no way he was what he said he was. A man being an inventor? Preposterous and idiotic if one looked at it from a rational point of view, which Yaoyorozu was doing. That man was clearly placed into the heroine course to fuck with all of them, all for principal Nozomi's amusement, it must be.

How else was she supposed to explain away "his" accomplishments? If "his" Energy Gauntlet and that "Iron Man" suit was actually made by "him," then that would be world-changing. She vowed to herself she'd find out the truth, to expose the lies built up by this man and prove to the world he was stealing technology, using it for his own gain (like with that arc reactor he showed off on "his" EG), and pretending to understand any of it.

"Ah, I see you're awake, dearie," came the elderly voice of the Youthful Heroine, Recovery Girl. "You had quite the concussion when you were brought in. What or who did this to you?" she asked politely, holding a clipboard with a medical paper on it, pen in hand.

"A man did this," she said, seething secretly.

Recovery Girl looked surprised momentarily before a lightbulb went off in her head, "It must be that new student then, that Midoriya boy. How he managed to get into the heroine course is a mystery to me, but it's not my place to judge. How'd he give you a concussion?"

"He used a suit of armor like none seen before and used it to bonk me in the head. He stole it, he must have," she said with conviction in her tone of voice.

"A suit of armor? How interesting…" Shuzenji mumbled, writing down the information. "Why do you think he stole it?"

Momo snorted at her stupid question, "What man can build anything, let alone an…admittedly high tech super suit."

"To my understanding, men aren't stupid, just like how women can be smart or dumb, so too can a man be."

"Have you ever seen a smart man in high school? Or even middle school, for that matter?" Yaoyorozu pressed, leveling a questioning look at the nurse.

"Can't say that I have, but there have to be smart males on Earth; just take a look at that Midoriya male and see that—"

"He's an idiot! He's a stupid, bad-mannered, piece of garbage that dares to sully the grounds of the illustrious U.A. High School!" Momo shouted out, startling the poor nurse. She huffed in and out, finally getting it off her bountiful chest. "He's unintelligent, he stole all that tech from a self-respecting woman and is passing it off as his own."

"And your evidence?" Recovery Girl asked. "Do you have any proof he's actually done that or—"

"He's a man, what more proof do I need?!" Momo countered. "We all know that men can barely comprehend school, much less build a suit of armor that can fly and have weapons and gadgets to protect himself with. What more proof do I need?"

The short pro heroine shook her head, disagreeing with the young girl. "Saying he's a man and therefore couldn't have built it is a mute point, as before the rise of quirks there were smart men, such as Newton or Einstein."

"But as you said, that was before quirks, before men got more stupid," the raven-haired girl pointed out. "I can't believe principal Nozomi let such a knockoff in. She's supposed to be the smartest being on the planet, and yet she made such a fatal mistake," Yaoyorozu badmouthed.

Recovery Girl started sweating, not liking where the conversation was heading. "Let's not bring up the Rat God while I'm here. Who knows when she's listening?" she reminded, looking at the security cameras in fear.

"Too late!" a new voice entered the room, high and feminine-like. The principal of the school came out of a vent in the corner of the room, landing with little effort as she dusted herself out. "We need to clean the vents more often," she mumbled to herself. "But Recovery Girl, Young Yaoyorozu, hello!" Nozomi greeted. "I heard you were talking about me."

The young girl suppressed the shiver that wanted to overcome her as she voiced her concerns to the principal of the school, "You made a mistake when letting that man into the heroine class."

"I made a mistake? That's news to me! I haven't made a mistake in quite some time. Please, enlighten me," the stout-like chimera asked, a feral grin slowly forming.

"That man, Midoriya something, he stole all the tech he's proudly and arrogantly using and even managed to dupe not one, but four of my classmates into thinking he's a genius," Momo explained with a scowl on her face. "He needs to be expelled immediately and be forced to return the tech he unrightfully stole and took credit for," she suggested, hoping that Nozomi would live up to her name and be smart for once.

"Hmm, what an interesting proposal! Unfortunately everything you said was wrong, so there's no need to expel the man," the principal said chiperly, daring Momo to argue.

And she did:

"How can you not see he's a charlatan?! He clearly stole all that tech from a smart woman and is taking credit! I thought you were smart!"

The temperature of the room seemingly dropped as Nozomi, even with her low stature, seemed to grow several feet in anger and annoyance. "I AM smart, thank you very much. If I thought for even a second that Young Midoriya Izuku was faking it I would've investigated immediately. He's not a liar, he's not stupid, and he certainly did not steal tech from anyone else. Everything you've seen from him has been his own hard work and dedication, as he worked hard to get a spot in the heroine program."

"But principal Nozomi—"

"No buts! Stop your foolish whining of the man's many talents and just ignore him, or hell, get to know him. He is who he said he is, nothing more, nothing less. Good day to you, Young Yaoyorozu, Recovery Girl," she bid farewell, leaving the room to the two ladies.

"Now you've done it, dearie. Good luck," Recovery Girl wished as she departed the room as well, leaving Yaoyorozu Momo to her thoughts. The man couldn't actually be a genius…

Can he?
