The next has been coming along nicely in my opinion, but there are certain gaps that's taking me some time to figure out.

So I decided to give out another preview to make up for the time it's taking me.

Not much else to say.


As promised, Izuku gets to for go the normal main lessons for today after lunch for a very special occasion, one that involves meeting with a group of people he was thrilled to see in person, and the very reason why he was rushing to not risk being late at the designated meeting point. Taking also into consideration was the duffle bag of some equipment he planned on using, accompanied with some special eyewear with an earpiece attached.

His destination became easy to spot from the sight of the people already there.

It was them. The students of Class 1-A, dressed in their hero costumes.

Seeing them was cause for Izuku to stop running and look at them from a distance to admire their heroic appearances. He may have already familiarized himself with who they were and what they looked like in their costumes in his previous analysis, but he's had a lifetime to distinguish between the thrills of seeing heroes in videos, and in real life.

He continues his approach on a gentler pace, wanting to make a good impression with the kind of students he admired the most. He was noticed by the one that was the closest to him, who spared him the effort to start the greeting process.

"Hi there."

It was one of the fewer female students who had shoulder-length auburn hair and and eyes, welcoming him in a pleasantly filled manner. If he remembers correctly, she's the one whose quirk allows her to nullify gravity. Her costume was a black full-body suit with some pale pink formation, seemingly space themed.

"H-Hello. My name is I-Izuku Midoriya. I'm From Class 1-H." He find more opportunity to talk with the opposite gender.

"Oh yeah, we heard someone was joining us on our rescue training. My name is Ochako Uraraka. It's nice to meet you." She identifies as the name he rightfully assumed.

"I-It's nice to meet you too. I'm really looking forward to seeing all of you in training."

"We'll have to do our best then. So is this for your own special train?" She inquires.

"Something like that. I'm here to gather data for a project I started awhile ago. I actually saw the battle training you all ha-."

"DEKU!"

With that one word, all feelings and expression Izuku had turned to anxious worry. His head was drawn to the very familiar sound of that term and found the only person in the world who could make it.

In the excitement to meet new people involved in heroics, he overlooked the fact that the circumstance would come with seeing an old friend as well, who was not any more enthusiastic about this encounter, by the rage filled demeanor he displayed as he walked closer to him.

Standing before Izuku was the spiked blond-hair teen he's known for as long as he could remember in the costume he's been given for his heroic endeavor, a black combat suit consisting of a sleevless tank top with an orange x around it, baggy pants held by a belt that carries grenades and knee-high combat boots with orange soles. It had the accessories of a black jagged mask surrounding his eyes with two flare shapes panels protruding from each end, a rectangular metal neck brace, and of course those large grenade like gauntlets to enhance his explosions.

"H-Hi kachan, i-i-it's nice to see you a-again. Y-You have an amazing c-costume to." Izuku gave him his usual friendly greeting in some nervously driven effort to avoid some of the tension between them.

"What the fuck are you doing here? Don't you have toys play with it in the tech nerd class?" Katsuki responds with unbridled aggression, loud enough to get everyone else's attention. Another of the hero students reacts from overhearing him.

"Bakugo! Your attitude is reflecting badly on our entire class! Aizawa-sensei gave specific instructions against such things for our guest student!"

Izuku heard that stern voice before, coming from Tenya Iida who wore a one piece suit with various armor pieces of a pale silver color, including a full facial helmet he held in his arm while revealing the glasses he normally wears, and adorned with metal pipes as thematic to his quirk.

"Shut it four eyes! This is personal business between me and the nerd!" Katsuki turns to retaliate.

"Calm down Bakubro." Some of the others tried to get involved, such as the red-haired student with his chest left bare, gear-shaped shoulder pads, a wire guard on his face and a half cape around his baggy pants with a red 'R' in the center of the belt.

"Yeah what's your beef with this guy?" Asking that was the teen boy with whose quirk places two round formations on his elbows, a skin-tight bodysuit of black and white design and a yellow helmet shaped like a tape dispenser that had a black facial visor.

"This worthless loser not knowing his place as always. Thinking he can have anything to do with heroes, his pathetic way of saying he's better than me!" Katsuki points to Izuku, causing him to flinch.

"Why would you believe that?" Another familiar voice was heard.

Momo made her presence to the argument in Izuku's defense, dressed in the physical training uniform again and not looking pleased with how Katsuki is acting towards him.

For once, people were standing up for him against Katsuki, and that includes one of his newest friends. It felt nice.

For the short time it'll last anyway. Katsuki will reveal the inevitable, and their opinions of him will change. Izuku knew this to well.

And why is his involvement in heroics something to take offence over?" Momo asks further.

"Because he's even worse than any other extra who think they're worth anything! He's fucking quirkless!"

And there it was. It couldn't have remained a secret forever, but Izuku hoped that it's moments of uncovering since coming to UA would've been on his terms, when he'd first prove himself in ways that might not let it effect how people see him as it did before. In the place that mattered most to him, Katsuki destroyed all chances of that without mercy. He could feel all eyes trained on him now with that cursed knowledge, despite his own not making any contact while looking down in sorrow.

"I though the message finally went through your skull when you went and joined the grease monkeys. So again, why the fuck are you here Deku?" Katsuki reinforces that question.

"Obviously, you didn't hear that he's the one that's tagging along with us." Another of of the female students retorts, who had the earphone jacks protruding from her earlobes, and whose costume was a simple black outfit with a leather jacket over a salmon colored shirt, and boot with stereos built into them.

If anyone else was going to talk more in the conversation, Izuku didn't expect it to be anything other then them siding with Katsuki after learning the truth, as history has proven time and again. Even less that they'd still be willing to act in his defense. And yet that appears to be the case.

"R-Right! I-I'm collecting data on the hero classes for one of my inventions, a-and I was told I could a-accompany your class for that today!" Izuku quickly adds.

"Tch, some excuse you cooked up to nerd out on all our quirks, and now you got some stalker tech to do it!"

"If you're referring to his analytical skills, then it's to everyone's benefit. Clearly you're more familiar with him than I am Bakugo, so you should know about his amazing abilities to discern quirks. I've seen enough of it to know how invaluable he would be for hero work." Momo provides more to support Izuku, who was more happy in the fact she would for him, meaning that she might sees him no differently than before his quirkless status came out.

"The only thing I need to know is that this worthless wanna-be has always been to pathetically desperate for people to think he can be the one thing he has no right to be! And as if real heroes need help from this kind of weakling to get better!" Katsuki retorts then turns back to a flinching Izuku.

"You can fool them, but not me Deku! I won't let you forget it!"

"That's enough!"

Before the whole argument is stirred further, a new intercepting voice takes over. Everyone was drawn to the adult making his way towards the students, a man with long messy black hair and look that can be defined as 'worn-out', clad in an all black outfit with a utility belt and a lengthy scarf wrapped around his neck. Izuku didn't need anyone to tell him that this was their homeroom teacher.

"Bakugo, can't say I'm surprised you'd ignore what I said about being on your best behavior and act like the professional you aspire to be when you'd have a spectator, but I at least thought you had a higher standard than to attack him unprovoked, personal history aside." He says to the explosive teen impassively.

"Therefore, you can refrain from speaking to him, or of him, while we go on with the training, unless you'd rather sit it out and waste my precious nap time in detention and remedial training later on."

This shouldn't be anything new to him. Somewhere in his mind he knew that, but it was. A teacher is protecting him from Katsuki, showing no favor for the boy with a powerful quirk over the one with no quirk at all, no doubt aware of the fact. What's more, instead of reacting back with aggression, Katsuki remained silent. Clearly not of his own desire when Izuku looked back at him and saw him stunned, then changes to an expression of reluctance, that was followed by an even more uncharacteristic gesture of simply walking away in agitated silence.

"Midoriya."

Hearing his own name from the teacher broke him away from staring at a historical moment that was Katsuki Bakugo backing down. Though the man had protected him in the last few minutes, he was still the one teacher at this school who didn't want to give any bad impression of himself, so he couldn't help being nervous for him now.

"Aizawa sensei. Thank you for having me! I promise not to interfere with the lesson!" Izuku says anxiously while bowing to the man.

"See that you don't, and to make the most of your time here while you're at it." A simple response given in return and Aizawa walks past him.

"Get everyone on the bus." He instructed the class representatives. Izuku raised himself and watched him leave.

"Good day to you." Someone else offered their greeting to Izuku.

I'm Tensei Iida, vice representative of class 1-A. I believe you are acquainted with my superior." He introduces before directing attention to Momo.

"Hello Midoriya." She welcomes him casually, no different from previous occasions to Izuku's eternal gratitude.

"H-Hello Yaoyorozu."

"I'm glad to have you with us today. I am sorry about Bakugo though, we didn't expect him to react so suddenly like that."

"I to would like to express my sincerest apology for our colleague's highly rude and unbefitting conduct." Tensei adds.

"O-Oh no, don't worry about Kachan. I've known him for most of my life and that's uh, that's normal." The first time Izuku has had to explain that to people who weren't like minded with Katsuki.

"His personality and behavior are beneath what I'd consider normal, far less for someone who is pursuing the noble title of hero." Tensei counters displeasingly over the exact nature of those things.

"If you've known him for a long time, then I find it concerning if that's the way he treats you. It's not the sort of thing you should have to endure Midoriya." Momo tried to affirm for his well being.

"R-Really, I don't mind any of it. Bakugo might not give the impression, but I just know he will make a great hero. Oh that reminds me, I've been meaning to tell you what a good job you did with the media situation the other day." Izuku compliment's what Tensei did during that whole ordeal.

"Ah yes, thank you. I simply acted accordingly to quell the chaos. Any number of students would have if they'd only looked out the window." Tensei explains with modesty.

"Anyway, I hate to cut this conversation short, but we really should be heading out now." He informs Momo, who nods her head.


I put this part up not just because it was completed, but also it was to introduce certain characters for the first time, like I did with the first preview.

Trying to get the full chapter out as soon as I can!
