Update 12/19/2021: Cleaning up grammar mistakes
Chapter 4
"I'M AM HERE! COMING IN THE CLASSROOM LIKE A NORMAL PERSON," Crona almost jumps out their sent and sees the man himself All Might dramatically coming into the class. Everyone was a cheer when they see him.
"It's All Might!"
"He looks cool in real life!"
"He's in silver age costume!"
Crona had to turn off their Soul Perception. All Might's soul was just too bright. It was like the sun to them. This wasn't normal.
'This is…,' Crona look up at the smiling man, 'The Number One Hero.' They look at him in awe and fear.
"This is going to be so cool!" Kirishima exclaims pumping his fist.
"Welcome to Hero Basic Training, or as it calls Heroing 101! Where we define what kind of hero will be!" All Might told the whole class. While some cheered but something in that speech stuck to Crona.
'The kind of hero,' They look at their hand, 'I want to be?'
"Get ready newbies!" All Might points to the student dramatic, "It's time for Battle Training!"
"Battle," Izuku gulp.
"Training!" Bakugo grins like a mad man.
Crona was right there with Izuku…
"Indeed! And you get to wear your costume!" All Might announces as he pulls out a device from his back pocket and presses the button, "And you need these! Your Hero Costume!" To the wall compartments with numbers begin to open up to the side.
"This is time to show off of our hero costume!" Mina cheers. Crona got up and Hagakure grab them to talk about Battle Training.
"This is going to be so fun!" Hagakure raves as she talks to Crona who was next to her. It's kind of a blessing that their desk was next to each other.
"Yeah.." Crona mumbles not paying attention.
"You sound nervous. Are you ok?" She asked them.
"It's just," Crona trying to find the word, "...not a big fan of fighting."
"Really? But you so good at it!" Hagakure asks, which made Crona flitch and look down, "But I kind of understand." Crona looks right back up at her, "It's not the same but my quirk isn't really good for long terms fights. So when I was in middle school I decided to be a stealth hero instead. There is more to being a hero than just fight but we should learn how to take down villains. So think of it just take this as a stepping stone."
Crona thought for a moment. What she saying is right and they do need to learn the laws of this world to cover…
Crona nods, "Thanks Hagakure."
While Crona couldn't see their face her cheerful tone told them that she was happy.
"No problem!"
Bakugo glare at Crona who was talking to Hagakure and then look at Izuku who look nervous.
'I'm going to roost these damn nerds today!' Bakugo thought in glee.
Crona set out in the Battle Center B. They were the last ones to get ready because Crona was nervous but suck it up and got through it. Stepping out to the open and seeing all the different types of costumes that students come with were cool but some were weird in Crona's option. Not they will voice it.
"Stein!" Crona turn to where they heard Hagakure. Which was harder than it should be because all her hero costume was a belt and gloves. Wait does that mean she's...
NOPE!
NOT THINKING ABOUT THAT!
"Is something wrong Stein?" Hagakure asks as she notices they are blushing.
"N-nothing!" Crona quickly said which made Hagakure confused, "Also you can me by my first name Crona. Stein sounds like I'm in trouble."
"Oh ok! I like your first name better it's kind of cute." Hagakure told them cheerfully.
'Cute?' Crona blush at that.
"Also Crona what's with your hero costume?" She asks them. Their outfit was a dress that was a purple-black and black rose pattern. Purple-black gloves that look like claws and a wire sticking from claws to the back of their neck. They also have a black helmet a which looks like it had two turfs on it making looks like horns or ears.
"It like kind of a villain," Hagakure explains not at all sugar-coating it. Crona feels like their self-esteem took a hit.
"Sorry. I'm not the best at making these types of things so I ask my friends to help me." Crona explains to her.
"They did?"
"This is hard," Crona grumbled as Maka, Soul, and they try to think of a design for their costumes.
"It is a lot better if someone didn't keep shutting down our ideas." Maka glared at Soul.
"Your design is not cool enough! Like really a dress Maka?" Soul huffed back.
"Why would Crona need spiky armor? Their black blood already protects them! It only wears them down." Maka points out.
"Your it's just a dress. Not one of those cool-looking ones either! Just plain dress!" Soul argues back. They went about this for a few hours with them arguing back and forth while Crona tried to block out the noise by covering their ears. They wish they stop fighting but they arguing too loudly for them to get a voice in.
"BLACKSTAR IS HERE TO COMFORT TO YOUR LIVES," Like a gift from Lord Death himself Blackstar and Death the Kid appears and stop the fighting, "Now what's going on here?" He said looking at Soul and Maka.
"We trying to make my hero costume but I'm having a hard time making it," Crona turns Maka and Soul, "Maka and Soul have been trying to help but we can't agree on a design." They explain. Blackstar grabs Maka's and Soul's drawings from a desk without asking and looks them over.
"Hey!" Both Soul and Maka shout at him.
"I like this one," Blackstar said as he holds up Soul's drawing.
"HA!" Soul laughed. Maka glared at him.
"Well, I think this one is a good starting point," Kid holds up Maka's drawing. Maka beams.
"Thank you Kid," Maka noted. Giving Soul a 'see what I told you to look.
Blackstar laughed at Kid's choice, "How Crona is going to scare villains with a dress?" He pointed out.
Kid fumed, "But it's not symmetry!"
They argued back and forth for while Crona looked at the pictures. They look at Maka and Kid and back to Soul and Blackstar.
"Maybe we can do both?" Crona asked them. They stop their fight, looked at them, and then looked at the drawings.
"Actually," Maka grabbed the picture that Blackstar was holding.
"Hey!"
Maka ignored him and walked over to Kid.
"Kid, you are the better artist here," Kid beamed at that while Blackstar pouted, "Can you draw something that compares these two ideas?"
Kid picked the picture, "Hmmm," A lightbulb goes off in his head, " I believe I have an idea."
Looking back at that, Crona realizes that maybe all of them should have thought of a better design…
"Stei-I mean Crona are you ok?" Hagakure asks them. Crona snaps out of their flashback.
"Oh yeah! I'm fi-"
"HEY PINKIE!" Crona flitches and turn around. Bakugo was stalking toward them with an angry look in his eyes.
"What did I do?!" Crona cries out in despair in their mind. Bakugo stops right in front of them and glares, "Can I help… you?" Crona asks. 'This guy was too close to me and I don't know how to deal with that.'
"Better not get used to being number one." He jabs one of his fingers to their Crona, "Cause I'm going to knock down from your throne!" He declares which made Ragnarok pop out.
"Like we ever go all out with you!" Ragnarok shouted, "You're too weak to be taken seriously!"
Bakugo snaps.
"YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD!" Bakugo went to smack them with an open palm. Remembering that this is one of his explore attack and Crona quickly smack it away with their hand cover in black blood. A loud boom sound and Crona feel the heat from the explore. Bakugo growls but Crona acts faster. They kick Bakugo in the stomach and push him off. Bakugo roar and haul himself at them, knocking Crona to the flood.
"Stop it!" Hagakure shouts she got in between them and push Bakugo away. Bakugo went back to charge at them but he couldn't see Hagakure Crona realizes. And if he couldn't see then…
"Bakugo!" A gust of wind blew as Iida stepped in between them. His hero costume consists of a black one-piece suit with a high collar, over which he wears various pieces of armor, all in a bar of pale silver. He wears a helmet covering his entire face, its sharp bevor full of holes to allow him to speak and breathe easily, and its upper piece rounded over his head with two larger holes on either side, two curved horns just behind and a single spike sticking out of the back of his head.
"Stop this fight! Bakugo doesn't act like a villain! Stein didn't mean it. Ragnarok has a mind of his own-" Bakugo cuts Iida off.
"Then they should better control of their quirk!" Bakugo shouts at them.
"Big talk for we-" Hagakure quickly covers Ragnarok's mouth.
"You stop it too Ragnarok!" She scolds at Ragnarok. Who glares at her and tries to bite her. But Crona was faster and punch him.
Silent…
You could have heard a pin drop by how silent everyone was.
Ragnarok blinks and then grabs Crona's nose.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO LITTLE SHIT! I'LL-"
"Would you stop this noise?" A cold voice cut him off. They all turn and saw it was Shoto talking to them. Shoto is reasonably tall and well-built for his age. His hair is evenly split between two colors: white on his right side and crimson red on his left. His left eyes appear turquoise, while his right is a brownish dark gray. Additionally, he has a large burn scar on the left side of his face, which reaches from his hairline to halfway down his cheek. In his initial hero costume, he wears a plain off-white shirt with matching pants and boots, with two gold-colored straps going over his shoulders. He has what appears to be a material resembling ice covering his whole left side.
His eyes look from Bakugo and then Crona. Crona didn't know how to deal with his staring. It was like they were studying them.
"All Might is calling us. He was about to pick teams." On cue, all of them head where other students were at. But Crona did notice that Bakugo was glaring at them. They sigh.
What did they do to deserve that?
Shoto keep an eye on Bakugo and Stein. He didn't want to socialize with his classmates because to him it's a waste of time but the way Crona was acting was….
Fist raise again and Shoto feels like crying again. Why isn't anyone helping him? Why did his mommy had left? Someone, please-

Shoto shook his head out of that memory, 'Don't get emotionally here. You got a job to do Shoto.'
"First up are Team A and Team D!" All Might announces and Izuku's fell while Bakugo grins. Crona falls pitying for Izuku so they and the other students left they tap on Izuku's shoulders.
"Good luck." That was all they could say. But oddly enough it seems enough to Izuku.
"Thanks."
As they walk away with the other students Hagakure walk along with them.
"Dude you think he can deal with him?" She asks.
"Maybe," Crona replies. Bakugo was whole another beast to time with.
"A sneak attack Bakugo? What kind of a man does that?" Kirishima comments as the whole class watch Team A and Team D fight. Crona had to agree with him. While fights between students in DWMA were common it was rarely this bad….
"Vile is maybe, it's a good strategy. He playing the role of the villain." All Might explains to him.
'I can play a better role than him,' Ragnarok scoffs. Crona shook their head.
'We no longer doing that remember Ragnarok.' Crona reminds him.
'Yeah, yeah.'
"Wait! Young Bakugo! Stop! You kill him!" All Might cry out in alarm.
"He is fine as long as dodges!" Bakugo shouts and Crona was taken aback. This was...so wrong! They look at All Might to see if he will call it off. But fiery explore flashes across the screen. Crona panic. They need to go. They need to help-
"Young Stein! Stay here!" All Might orders them. That's when Crona realize that they were moving toward the door.
"B-but teacher...he's going too far! We have to do something!" Crona argues with him. All Might didn't say anything at first. His eyes lock on the screen. Then smoke was clear and Izuku was alright. He was burned and half of his mask was ripped off but he's fine!
Crona breathes a sigh of relief. He's ok. Hagakure grabbed their arm and lead them back.
"It is fine Crona. All Might know what he is doing," She said to try to calm them down. Crona took a deep breath and watch the rest of the fight.
At the end of it, Crona was scared of Bakugo even more and felt bad for Izuku way before he broke his arm. Like dear god what was Bakugo thinking…? Like Kid and Blackstar were rivals going on but they won't kill each other from what Crona could tell. But these two...well Bakugo wants to do more harm but Izuku doesn't.
'What happened between these two?' Crona thought to themselves.
"You think they are ok?" They ask Hagakure.
"Oh don't worry All Might is alright checking upon them!" Crona tilts their head. All Might was just here- Crona look around and find All Might not in the room. They look up to one of the TVs and saw him talking to Bakugo. They didn't notice that All Might move. Crona wasn't even sure that they could have either way. Not with their soul that bright. Serious what was that..?
After a couple of minutes of checking up on the team, All Might bring them back. Uraraka looks tired, Bakugo looks miserable, and Iida looks depressed but he was the MVP of this whole lesson.
"Does anyone know why?" All Might ask the class. Crona thought for a moment thinking of the answer. Izuku and Bakugo were the ones doing more of the fighting. But Bakugo was acting on his own and Izuku was reckless. Could have destroyed the building and killed himself. Crona when working with their Medusa they make sure to have a way to escape and think about their attacks. Uraraka was doing good but she laugh giving herself away. That leave…
"Because he didn't break character and thought ahead of his opponents. Bakugo and Midoriya were acting too reckless and Midoriya hurt himself in the process. Uraraka was treating more of a game than a test which is why she almost lose." A student called Mom explains. She was is a tall girl with a spiky ponytail with a large strand hanging on the right side of her face. Her eyes are thin and sharp, dark in color, and paired with short eyebrows set in a determined expression. Her hero costume consists of a high-collared, sleeveless crimson leotard with silver lines at her waist and around her arms, which is open to expose her skin from her neck to just below her navel. She sports calf-length red boots with heels, which dip sharply down in the center, and two gold utility belts around her waist, another, thinner one around the top portion of her chest, below her shoulders. Overall her outfit made Crona look the other way. This was going to be hard to work with her.
Uraraka flinched, Iida beams, and Bakugo still looks miserable.
"Umm All Might?" Crona pipes up.
"Yes, Young Stein?" All Might turn his gaze to him.
"Is Izu-Midoriya going to be alright," Crona almost forgot that Japanese people prefer to be called by their last names than their first ones.
"He is alright! He is with Recovery Girl! No need to worry over Young Stein." Crona sigh in relief.
"Now it's on to the next teams," He grabs the balls in the box, "And they are Team B and Team C!"
Crona gulp and lock eyes with Shoto. He had a stern expression on his face while Crona look down. This was their first real fight. So got to make a good impression.
"Crash of the Titans… of elites," Tokoyami comments.
"Crona is beast on their own but Todoroki is one of the Recommendation Students," Kirishima comments as he looks at Crona and Shoto.
"But so is Momo remember?" Mina add.
"Team B will be the Heroes while Team C is the Villains." All Might told them, "Good luck to the both of you!"
"Come on Stein. We need to get ready." Momo said as she head to the door.
"R-right," Crona walks after her.
"Seem we going to work together," Shoji walks over to Shoto, "Against the top student, eh?"
Shoto looks at the door where they disappear too.
"Yep."
Next up Shoto and Shoji vs Crona and Momo. Like I said this was had to cut this because it will take too long and I want to get this chapter out this month. But good news I have the outline for it.
Also Crona's Hero Costume: 0iajbpzs3k
