"Now for today's basic hero training, this time, All Might, myself, and one other will supervise."
Hanta Sero raised his hand. "Sensei, what are we doing, exactly?"
Aizawa held up a card with the word "RESCUE" on it.
"Preparing you for disaster relief, from fires to floods. It's rescue training."
…
Hitomi walked towards the bus, decked out in her hero costume save for her goggles. If it was rescue training, she wouldn't need to hide the glow of her eyes, right? It wasn't like they'd be fighting anyone.
Mina was walking next to her, avidly talking about the different things they might do wherever it was they were going.
Iida was standing by the bus, blowing a whistle to catch everyone's attention.
"Everyone, line up according to your I.D. numbers!" He was moving his hands in odd gestures, as if he were a robot. "Fill those seats in an orderly fashion!"
…
"Damn! It was this type of bus…!"
Hitomi saw Iida bending over in his seat, likely either from shame or embarrassment.
She was seated near the back next to a boy named Shouto Todoroki, who seemed like he had been genetically cut in half. His red and white hair was perfectly split down the middle, and the preciseness of it kind of disturbed her.
She tuned in to the conversation near the front when she heard Kirishima's voice.
"... I'm good in a fight, but it gets real boring."
Midoriya and the others were talking about quirks fit for a pro.
"Well, if you're talking about flashy and strong, it's gotta be Todoroki and Bakugou, huh?"
Hitomi side-eyed Todoroki, recalling his performance during the battle training. He had single-handedly immobilized the villain team by freezing the entire building, without even damaging the bomb. Had he not needed Shouji's help in locating the other team, he would've practically done the exercise all by himself.
Hitomi heard Tsuyu speak. "Bakugou's always mad, so he doesn't seem like he'll be popular, though."
"WHAT THE HELL?! YOU WANNA FIGHT, FROG-FACE?!"
"See?"
The bluenette sighed, leaning her head back.
This was gonna be a long ride.
The space-themed hero Thirteen proudly called the facility the "Unforeseen Simulation Joint".
Uraraka and Midoriya were enamored with them, energetically nodding along to what they were saying.
Aizawa and Thirteen exchanged some words before Thirteen turned back to the class.
"Before we get started, I have one or two points.
Or three… or four…"
It just keeps adding up…!
…
"Your powers are not meant to inflict harm. I hope you leave here today with the understanding you're meant to help people.
That is all! I thank you for listening!"
Iida applauded Thirteen while Uraraka cheered.
Hitomi felt a rush of excitement at the activities they would be doing, before the lights seemed to cut out and the fountain faltered.
A dark swirling mass appeared by the fountain. It seemed to distort reality, before starting to spread out.
Hitomi felt her gut wrench.
That feeling only worsened as Aizawa turned to see the black mist, before turning back to the class.
"Gather together and don't move! Thirteen, protect the students!"
Kirishima turned to see the same thing Hitomi and Aizawa saw, asking, "What's that? Is this like the entrance exam where the lesson's already started?"
Midoriya tried to step forward and get a better look before Aizawa stopped him.
"Don't move!"
Aizawa was slipping his yellow goggles on.
"Those are villains."
"Villains…?" Kirishima exclaimed. "There's no way they could get into a hero school!"
Yaoyorozu stepped forward. "Sensei, what about the trespasser sensors?"
Thirteen turned to her. "We have them of course, but…"
They trailed off as Todoroki spoke instead. "Did they only appear here, or around the school? Either way, if the sensors aren't responding, that means they have someone with a quirk that can do that.
An isolated area separated from the main campus during a time when a class is supposed to be here.
They might be fools, but they're not dumb.
This surprise attack was carefully planned with some sort of goal in mind."
Hitomi's eyes widened in fear as Aizawa told Thirteen to start the evacuation. As he told Kaminari to try contacting the school with his quirk, Midoriya stepped forward in worry. "What about you, sensei? Are you going to fight by yourself? With that many, even if you can erase their quirks…"
Aizawa turned to Midoriya. "You can't be a hero with just one trick. I'm leaving it to you, Thirteen." Aizawa then leapt forward, diving headfirst into the sea of villains.
Hitomi watched for a moment as Aizawa fought the villains, before turning to run with the rest of the class towards the entrance.
Her stomach dropped as the swirling purple mist by the fountain appeared in front of them, stopping the class in their tracks.
"I won't let you."
The purple mist towered over them, and Hitomi noticed large glowing yellow eyes near the top.
"Nice to meet you. We are the League of Villains. It may be presumptuous of us, but we have invited ourselves in to the home of heroes, UA High School, in order to have All Might, the Symbol of Peace, take his last breath."
Hitomi felt like she couldn't breathe.
They want to kill All Might…?
Hitomi felt herself freeze up as the villain continued to talk, before Bakugou and Kirishima charged forward, smoke erupting from Bakugou's explosion.
Hitomi had to shield her face as the smoke billowed around them, only to hear that same voice that made her freeze in fear.
"Oh dear, that's dangerous…"
As the smoke cleared, Hitomi saw that the villain appeared unharmed, and was even complimenting Kirishima and Bakugou's quirks.
Thirteen cried out. "No! Move away, you two!"
"My job is to scatter you all and torture you to death!"
The villain's purple mist then engulfed the class, and Hitomi tried to will her legs to move.
She was still frozen in fear.
She heard Iida cry out, his engines wooshing behind her, before she felt the purple mist swallow her completely.
A/N: Hitomi was overtaken by Kurogiri! Where will she end up?
I was planning on writing USJ in one whole chapter, but I wrote so much before the League of Villains even appeared that it had to be split in two.
Fun fact, I was actually writing out this arc after I finished my SAT last week. :P
