My Hero Academia: Marvelous Legacy

by Oan Glalie

The daughter of a living legend, a fangirl, a boy with unatural powers and a mysterious girl will soon be attending Japan's top hero school. What lies ahead of them is quite unknown at the moment, but they can discover it soon enough as they work on becoming heroes together alongside their new classmates and teachers... Their story has only just begun.

23. Class B at the USJ

"Alright kids! It's time to begin your rescue training!" Vlad told the class.

The entirety of the class all stood quietly and behaved in a correct manner. All with their attention directed towards the five adults before them. Not a minute too soon and All Might finally took the opportunity to start addressing the students before him. They have all been waiting for this particular moment for a week already. He was sure as heck not going to disappoint them. Especially considering that he also had to look the part in front of their guests as well.

"Alright then, we-" All Might was about to say, but before he could continue, Robbie raised his hands. "I see we have an enthusiastic group, don't we? What is it, young Reyes?" he asked.

"A booklet fell from your pocket." the boy in the black jacket said, pointing at the ground and making All Might, the very Symbol of Peace of an entire nation… feel pretty nervous.

"Oh… that's uh… uh… m-my grocery list, yeah!" All Might tried to come up with something all the while Mayday picked the booklet up and caught a glimpse of some of the things that were there.

"And I take it you give motivational speeches to your lettuces?" she jokingly asked in english (for the hero's sake that is).

"If one wishes to make a good stew." All Might played along, although feeling that this wouldn't be that great of a day to him. Bad enough that he already made a poor impression on young Anna Parker, but now the other sister as well. That's without counting that he was sure that he wasn't living up to the expectations that young Reyes heard of him. "Anyway, now that that's taken care of, I'm sure that most of you are wondering what will you all do, right?"

"You bet we are!" Khan said in excitement.

"It is good to see young children looking forward to learning!" Thirteen said as All Might followed her lead.

"Alright then!" All Might said, clearing his voice for a bit before addressing the students. "As you all know, a hero has many duties. For heroes are the ones that uphold what's right. They are the ones that stop villains from doing as they please and another aspect that defines a hero, is that they rescue those in need."

"This facility was built for that very purpose. So that we could teach you kids to do just that." Thirteen continued where All Might left, as Vlad followed soon enough.

"And to make sure that you all get to have a good start in learning to do that, this class will be a joint one between myself, All Might, NO. 13 and our two guests here."

"So, what exactly will we be doing?" asked Kendo.

"Are we going to go to every place here?" Kamala followed with a question of her own.

"Not quite yet, let us go by steps. We'll only use three of the many sites here at the U.S.J for today." All Might answered. "And for that, we'll all form groups!" he then followed.

And with just mentioning that the class will have to form teams, did Sen stiffened. Taking a quick glance at the girl with thorns-like hair, the boy who could turn his skin into metal and the boy with that looked like a mantis and then remembered… a not so pleasant experience. Yeah, he was already looking like he was about to cry and to start praying to god for the strength to endure what was coming. Then, Vlad presented a small box to the group and stepped in front.

"Alright, listen up! We'll be dividing into three different groups. Two groups of seven and one group of eight! Inside of this box there are balls with a corresponding number. I want you to come and pick one, after which you will all have to group with whoever has the same number as you. Understood?" he asked as the class all nodded. "Good. Then let's get started."

The twenty two students all lined up waiting for their turn to pick a ball and see who their teammates would be… well, most of them anyway. Kaibara looked like he was still praying and at one point, asked Robbie to put him out of his misery if he were to be placed on the same team as Shiozaki, Tetsutetsu and Kamakiri. Excessive? Maybe, but just to show his solidarity, he promised to make sure it would be painless if it were to happen. Soon enough, every student had a small ball the size of an apple in their hands, all numbered from one to three, obviously. Team one was comprise of Robbie Reyes, Yosetsu Awase, Sen Kaibara, Shihai Kuroiro, Kinoko Komori, Manga Fukidashi, Reiko Yanagi and Neito Monoma. Team two was made up of Kamala Khan, Kojiro Bondo, Juzo Honenuki, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, Nirengeki Shoda, Jurota Shishida and Yui Kodai. Lastly there was team three which had as members Itsuka Kendo, Ibara Shiozaki, Pony Tsunotori, Kosei Tsuburaba, Setsuna Tokage, Hiryu Rin and Togaru Kamakiri… safe to say, Sen couldn't look more relieved even if someone had told him that he won the lottery.

"Excellent! Now that we know what team you all belonged to, let's get you all assigned to your respective teachers!" said the Symbol of Peace as Thirteen followed.

"Team one will be under All Might's charge. Team two will be under both Vlad's and Mayday-san's charge. Which means that team three will be under both mine and Ingenium-san's supervision." she told the students. "Are there any questions?"

"Um yeah, I have one." Manga said, raising his hand. "Will there not be another guest teacher coming? Because All Might-sensei will have to look over the largest group all by himself while the other two have at least someone to help the teacher out."

"Oh yeah, I didn't notice that before." Tokage said, as she and the rest of the class then realized that it could be a little problematic. However, All Might soon reassured her and the other students.

"HAHAHAHA! Worry not, young Manga, young Tokage! While your concern is appreciated, I must implore you all to have a little faith in your teachers! For are we not here to guide you into the path to become your better selves as heroes?!" he told the class in his always hyped self, which thankfully for him seemed to work. And he really was thankful, because… "I knew I should have bought that teacher's book when I had the chance!"

"Well then, I guess we should get started, right?" Mayday asked Vlad, who nodded in agreement.

"Team two, with us! We'll be heading for the Ruins Zone!" he yelled out.

"Team three, we're going to the Landslide Zone." Thirteen told her group.

"As for team one, we'll be practicing on the Mountain Zone!" All Might said as he and the rest of the teachers all took the students under their care to their respective sites.

"Huh, this place sure is big." was what Annie said, as she and the rest of class A arrived at the site that they were all taken to. "Geez, are all schools in Japan this over the top?"

"Insensitive, much." muttered Denki.

"Come on, take a look at all the nonsense that this school has and tell me that I'm wrong." Annie argued. "Seriously, how many bazillions of money do you all expend on a regular basis?"

"If last week is anything to go by, more than I'm comfortable knowing." Snipe muttered, before addressing the class. "Very well class, welcome to ground Omega." he said, presenting the forested area behind him.

It was quite large, truth is, it might be the size of an actual forest all things considered. Nothing but trees and greenery as far as any of them could see. They all stood in the entrance, with the supervision tower not that far from them. Some, like Annie, Jiro and Shoji all managed to hear what sounded like running water or something. Made sense, since at least the two American girls were told that there was at least a river in the grounds. U.A was the number one hero school of Japan and they definitely wanted that to be seen.

"So this is where we'll be doing our class exercise?" asked Shoji.

"Indeed."

"And what exactly are we doing again?" asked Kirishima.

"Glad that you asked. Alright, everyone listen up." Snipe said in a commanding tone that had all of the students pay all their attention to him. "Throughout ground Omega, there are two dummies. The scenario that we'll have is one in which two hikers got lost in the woods and may be in serious need of medical attention."

"So the exercise will be timed?" asked Shoto.

"In a way, yes. I want to see how long does it take for you to coordinate and to find the dummy. In these sorts of cases, efficiency is key. Slacking off means that someone's life may be in jeopardy."

"Wow, sounds really serious."

"Duh, it's hero work. Kinda given that it'll be hard." Annie said, as an answer to Mina's comment.

"Agreed. As future pro-heroes, we should expect the most dire of situations and must act according to said situations." Momo followed as Valerie was about to ask a question herself.

"Mr. Snipe sir, is t-the reason there are t-two dummies so that e-each member has to find one?"

"Nice observation, young… young V. No, I thought I might add something to spice things up."

"How so?" asked Sero.

"How does a little friendly competition sound to you all?"

"Competition?" Bakugo asked, as the teacher had peaked his interest.

"Two teams will go out at the same time. They'll be tasked with locating their respective dummy in their respective part of the forest. Whoever finds theirs first obviously wins. However, just because the other team found theirs first, doesn't mean that the other one is allowed to stop all together. They'll have to keep looking until further notice. Understood?"

"So manly, yeah!"

"Sounds kinda fun!"

"We'll be the ones to win, got that you fucking extras?! And god help you if you make us lose, grape-fuit hair fucker!"

"Whaaa! Could I get another partner?!"

"Settle down. Let's see which teams shall go first." Snipe said, as he took off his hat and put it in front of himself. "I do hope that you all still have the pieces of wood with you, right?" he asked, as everyone nodded, pulling said piece of wood with their respective markings each. "Good then, I want that one representative of each team comes and puts their pieces here."

They all did, with a member of each team going to where their teacher was just as they were all told. Once all of the team's representatives placed their pieces of wood in their teacher's hat, he started to scramble them. After a minute or so, the teacher randomly picked two pieces from the hat. The pieces of wood that he pulled were the ones belonging to both the team of Uraraka and Valerie and Ojiro and Kirishima. It seemed like both of the guys were rather pumped, mainly Kirishima, who couldn't help but to tell everyone that he would do a manly rescue… he sure liked to use that word. And while Uraraka seemed her usual upbeat self, Valerie… yeah she was more of a nerve wreck than normal.

She had a feeling that the rest of the class would be watching today's exercise from the tower near them and of course, the thought of so many people watching her made her feel more nervous than normal. Borderline terrified even. Sure, she's been through a few scenarios like this before. Mainly the entrance exam and last week's battle trial exercise. But the difference from then and the now was that the first one, she was mostly focused on getting into the school in the first place… that and she kinda didn't knew that there were many judges seeing them do the exam… she didn't even gave a thought to consider the possibility until after she got her results. And while sure, she definitely knew that a total of two classes were watching her during the battle trial of last week, she didn't feel as nervous because not only was Annie there to calm her nerves, but she even got to, in a way, be with her other friends Robbie and Kamala. So she did feel somewhat more at ease because of that… or at least until she fainted after seeing the mess that Robbie and Annie made out of each other.

Now though… yeah, she already wanted to throw up.

"Hey V-chan, let's give it our all, alright?!" said Uraraka in excitement as she pumped her fist upwards."

"Huh, o-ok." the blue girl shyly and quietly said.

"Hey girls, no hard feelings once we win, right?" Kirishima joked, indirectly making Valerie feel even less sure about herself than she already was.

However, just like always, a certain green-eyed hype girl came to her rescue.

"You wish, Ejiro. But Val has this one on the bag. I bet my lunch money on that…! Well… if I actually had lunch money, that is." Annie said, soon realizing that she actually never had lunch money due to always bringing her own home-made lunch.

She then glanced at the white-haired girl and flashed her an assuring smile as she gave her a thumbs up. Yeah, the arachnid girl always had a way to make her feel better. She returned the gesture with a smile of her own and a nod. If the second-born Parker said she could do it, then she must be able to do it, right?

"Alright then. Girls, your dummy will be located on the northern part of ground Omega, just past the small ravine. Boys, yours will be on the southern side."

"Understood, sir."

"We'll bring that dummy back in no time!"

"Just leave it to us! Right, V-chan?"

"R-Right."

"Ok, if there's nothing else to… oh wait, I was forgetting something." Snipe said, remembering something of most importance. "You… you all know how to swim, right?" he asked, confusing the students.

"That's kinda oddly specific to ask." Jiro noted.

"I just want to make sure of… certain aspects. Which brings me to the next point. I would appreciate it if you didn't do anything reckless like try to bring the entire forest down while searching for the dummy." Snipe told the class as Annie glanced at Bakugo… something he quickly noticed.

"Why are you looking at me?!"

"The better question would be why wouldn't I be looking at you?"

"What was that, you damn Yankee!? Care to-"

"Just keep collateral damage to a minimum if you must, ok?" the teacher asked, as the entire class looked at one another and nodded. "If there isn't anything else to discuss, we must get started. Both teams go to your respective areas and wait for further instructions. As for the rest, let's all head for the observation tower."

They all nodded and both teams started to enter the artificial forest. As for the other students, they all started to head for the tower near them. As they did, Annie suddenly stopped out of nowhere. Izuku and the rest of the class suddenly found that odd, especially since she later kneeled down. The other green-eyed individual of the class asked his teammate if there was anything wrong and his answer came when she saw the girl standing up and picking… something that had far too many legs for most of their liking.

"Aww, look! Ain't he a cutie pay?" she genuinely asked, as in her hand… there was a spider.

And not just any spider, no, no, no that wouldn't be enough nightmare fuel to them (safe for the young Parker, apparently, whom honest to god seemed to believe that that… thing was actually cute somehow and Jiro who didn't seem to mind the eight-legged creature that much), it was a huntsman spider. Or as the natives of the land of the rising sun knew them better, Joro spiders. And while some were starting to be reminded of the folklore tale of a woman that could turn into one of those things to seduce and eat men… poor Koji Koda ended up fainting.

"This is going to take forever!" Juzo complained.

Him and the rest of his classmates, alongside their teacher and the guest teacher, had all arrived at the ruins zone of the U.S.J. They weren't exactly sure what to expect. With a name like that, Kamala and Shishida made a comment of believing that it would be some Raiders of the Lost Arc type scenario. Obviously, most of the class thought that said idea was nonsensical and, as it turns out, they were right. The ruins zone didn't look like something out of an archeological dig, it looked like they were suddenly transported to the aftermath of either an earthquake, a hurricane, a tornado… or all three of them at once. A small faux city, similar to the ones they were on during the entrance exam, except with buildings looking almost demolished. Windows were shattered, the pavement was at the least crack and at most having chunks of it either missing or having been raised. Rubble of many shapes and sizes filling the empty streets that gave the sensation of being in a berand wasteland.

There were even a car or two every now and then. Most of them either missing pieces of importances, covered in rust or with huge dents, almost as if some sort of behemoth came down and misshaped the vehicle with its bare hands. Honestly, the class was expecting that the entirety of the compound would look like this after the villain attack last week. Heck, Juzo already made a joke about how this was actually meant to be another normal city-like scenario, but due to the consequences of some of the villain's actions, they just let things as they were to save a buck or two. And while he would never tell his students any of it… Vlad had to admit that they did spend less money on repairing the ruins zone than any other zone of the U.S.J.

Hey, the place is supposed to look like the end of the world in a populated area. They say, trying to fix a zone that is meant to look like an apocalypse-like scenario, would be like having a diet soda to keep up with the diet after eating like two burgers, three bags of chips and one and a half pieces of cake. In any case, upon arriving to class, Vlad began explaining the exercise. They were expected to locate and rescue a total of three dummies before the end of the class. Dummies which they had scattered across the destroyed faux city. They could be hanging from a very high place, buried in some debris, trapped inside a building, or any other scenario they could come up with. By now, the entirety of the students were all searching for them across the grounds. And truth is… some weren't doing as great as one would expect.

"So, how far do we have to look for the dummies?" asked Khan.

"You're just asking that?! Asking for intel, whether it is the simplest of basis or the most complex, is the very first thing you need to do?!" Vlad yelled… loudly.

"I think what your teacher here wants to say is that in the case of emergencies, a hero should always be informed of what just occurred. How would you all feel if you all, say, ended up looking for the injured in a completely different area?" Mayday insinuated, which turned out to be the correct guess since Vlad looked at her and gave her a nod of acknowledgement.

"So, huh… how far do we have to look?" Kamala asked once again, making Vlad sigh.

"The southern side of the ruins zone. Around a radius of three and a half blocks from that building over there." Mayday said, pointing at a somewhat tall building with what looked to be some sort of water tank on top of it.

"Oh, now you tell us?!" Bondo complained.

"As we have explained, heroes must always be as informed of the situation as soon as possible. In case of emergencies, they should first approach the officers and rescuers for guidance in how to act, where to look for and what to expect. In this case, that would be us, but in the field then you must always seek out police officers, medics and so on." Vlad told his class.

"Yeah, we should have thought of that before. Sorry sensei, guess that we were so used to Snipe-sensei telling us everything. And we, just assuming that they would be here since this is where we arrived, didn't help either.

"That was done on purpose, believe it or not." Mayday said, confusing the class.

"Emergencies that were caused by natural disasters or a rampaging villain are bound to bring stress. Stress can lead to disorder and the confusion of the mind. Which in turn could lead to the mind forgetting certain aspects due to it being focused on the dire task at hand."

"Law enforcers and rescuers are all professionals, so they are unlikely to not do that upon your arrival. Still, just because something is rare to happen doesn't mean it won't happen. So regardless of any of it, you all should ask for information from the very beginning." Mayday said, following Vlad's lead. Then, she caught a glimpse of one of the students trying to reach for something beneath one of the beaten cars from the ground. "I also don't think that you'll find the dummies under a car when we already said that they weren't here."

"Sorry it's not that. My vizor seemed to have loosened because it suddenly fell off." Shoda said, as true to his words, the vizo that was reminiscent of a scouter of a certain popular franchise of Japan, which normally would be located over his left eye was there no more. "I think it slipped under the car, but I can't reach it… I hope that it didn't break."

As he kept on trying to reach his piece of equipment, yet failing due to his arms not quite reaching, most of his classmates all decided to try and help him out. It's not like it would be difficult for most of them. Kamal could shapeshift, change sizes to a degree and stretch in a fashion somewhat similar to Mr. Fantastic. Juzo could just use his softening quirk and his own skills to try and grab it for him. Both Tetsutetsu should be at least strong enough to push the car and Yui had the ability to change the size of anything non-living that she touches. Any of them could have taken care of the issue at hand, yet before any of them could offer their service, the guest teacher decided to lend a hand.

"Don't worry, I got it." she said, walking towards where the student and the car were.

Then, upon arriving next to the kid, she did something that no one but the inhuman expected to see. She just… picked the entire car… with one arm no less… she was literally treating something that should weigh about a ton or so like it was just a mere toy. Actually, maybe it also surprised Kamala a bit. Sure, she was aware that having spider powers meant to also have super strength… but she kinda forgot just how much said super strength could do. She then, somehow, managed to pick the piece of equipment and handed it to the boy… while also still having the car over her like nothing.

"Here you go. Please try and be a little more responsible with it, okay?" she gently told the shocked boy, as she put the vehicle down.

"Uh… o-ok."

"Good then, you kids should start heading for the actual area where you could find the dummies. Wouldn't you all want to lose precious time, right?" she said, as Vlad agreed (although he also did have to recover after seeing just how strong the older Parker was, despite not looking the part).

And as they all started to head there, most of the class was asking Khan just how strong her friend's sister was. And truth is… she kinda sometimes forgets that they are actually super-duper strong. Once they all arrived at the area, the search continued. One was instantly visible, being under a lamp post that had fallen on top of it, the students didn't waste that much time with that specific task. And even if there were at least an issue or two, there was nothing that required him to stop to lecture them.

Soon enough, Tetsutetsu ended up noticing something… off. He didn't know how he managed to take notice of it, but he saw that on the other side of a collapsed wall covered in rubble, there seemed to be the presence of something. And upon further inspection, in which he walked towards the fallened wall and saw through a gap that was big enough for his sight to see the other side. And as he had hoped for, the dummy was there.

"Alright, I found another one!" he shouted.

"Really, where?" asked Shishida.

"On the other side of this pile of rubble! Man, talk about luck!" he said, turning his buddy into metal and preparing to deliver one powerful strike at the wall.

However, before he could do that, Mayday stopped him again.

"I mean… are you sure you want to do that?" she asked him, stopping him in his tracks.

"Uh? I don't get it. Isn't the point of the exercise to rescue the dummies or something?" he asked, visibly confused.

Instead of giving a straight answer, she decided to ask all of the students to make a quick stop to what they were doing and to come and answer something. So, she asked them why she stopped Tetsutetsu.

"Um… because he could have accidentally hurt the civilians?" asked Shoda.

"He could have caused structural damage more severe than first thought?" asked Kodai.

"Punching a wall is just kinda dumb to begin with?" asked Kamala.

"Technically, all of you are right." Vlad said, as Mayday followed.

"Rescue operations are kind of a very complex procedure. Sure, you may see All Might and others seemingly doing it very straightforwardly, but truth is more complex than a mere glance may lead you to believe." she said, as Mayday began to give a more in depth explanation. "There are far too many factors in hero work. It is a stressful situation for everyone, sure. And sure, there may be times in which you may only be able to act on instinct more than anything else. But remember this; always have a cool head and keep calm. It's easier said than done, sure, but trust me it's better to start preparing that mentality now than wait for you all to be in an actual crisis with long-lasting consequences. Take your surroundings, analyse as many details as possible and do everything you can to act accordingly and responsibly as possible, understood?"

The students nodded, some kinda starting to get what she was saying, while others still felt lost. Still, they decided to try and slow down for a bit and try and think of a better solution than just letting Tetsutetsu punch the wall. They all started to try and analyze the situation and look for any detail that could help them. Kodai suggested to try and make the rubble smaller, but Shishida pointed out that her suggestion may lead to similar issues as Tetsutetsu's, but on a different path. Kamala suggested for her to first try and use her powers to try and get them out, but Shoda said that they should first see if there could be anything that could make things go south if she or anyone else tried anything. And as they did, their teacher and the older Parker sister were watching from a distance the kids trying to figure things out.

"So… how have I been doing so far?" the young adult asked the season pro-hero.

"Well… you may have made things a lot easier for them. A little too much perhaps. If Eraser was here, he would probably tell you that you were practically giving them the answer on silverware and that doing that would take away any potential growth in them."

"That's the homeroom teacher of class A, right? My sister has mentioned him." Mayday said, as the Japanese man nodded. "And yeah, I guess I see your point. My bad. Guess it's the big sister in me, that and the fact that back home I used to tutor when I was their age."

"Understandable."

"Hey, I have a question." Mayday said.

"And that would be?"

"My sister mentioned that she heard one of her friends say that her homeroom teacher fought alongside my dad a long time ago. Do you know if that's true?" she asked. True, she could have just asked Jarvis and/or her dad, but she wanted to hear what the natives of Japan had to say about it.

"I'm not sure." he answered. "I do know that Eraser and a couple of other teachers have been to your country at least once or twice. So the possibility is there. However, I have never been to America and don't recall ever meeting with the top heroes of your country. And this is the first time I'm ever hearing this, so until I ask him directly, then I won't know for sure. The guy sometimes keeps to himself."

"Oh, ok." she said, as the pro-hero took a glance at her.

"Is there anything else?" he asked.

"Well… I know for a fact that not many people like me here. That's something I'm still trying to get used to, since bad press was something I didn't deal with back home. So I was wondering if my presence is in any way making you guys uncomfortable."

"You're here, aren't you?"

"Yeah I know it's a little late to-"

"That's my answer."

"... Eh?"

"I understand why you would ask that. After all, vigilantism is very frowned upon here in Japan. And as the child of the most well-known example to ever live, you and your sister are bound to face criticism. If this were any other school, then that might be the case… However, your sister hasn't caused too much of a hazel so there's that."

"So that means she has been a hazel, to an extent, hasn't she?" Mayday asked, only for Vlad to remain silent for a bit… which was more than enough to answer her question. "I swear, sometimes she makes me want to strangle her."

"These children mean a lot to me." he suddenly said, taking Mayday by surprise. "Not only this class, but every student of U.A. I take my job as an educator seriously and each and everyone of them, especially those under my direct care, are my priority. To make sure they grow up to become the best heroes that they can be… You came here and regardless of whether your sister was in danger or not, whether it was another class or not, still protected them. You got us information that could help us better in protecting them in the future and are currently showing them the proper ways to be a hero." he kept on saying, turning to the young American with brown hair. "Any prejudice that hypothetically could have existed or not are second thoughts at best. Had I thought that you could pose any danger or negative reaction to the children, I would have opposed you being here. So either you wouldn't be here because of that, or I wouldn't be here because I would have resigned had they allowed you to come. Yet, neither outcome came true. I hope that that serves as your answer."

"It… it kinda does. Thanks." Mayday said, keeping silent for a few seconds until… "She started a foodfight, didn't she? Because last week there were yellow stains on her jacket and she murmured something about cleaning the cafeteria." she asked… and once again the hero decided to keep silent. "Yeah, I really want to strangle her from time to time."

"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry? Seriously, it was an honest mistake, cut me some slack. How the heck should I know that Koji was entomophobic…? or arachnophobic, one of the two." Annie said.

"She's got a point, plus isn't your quirk that you can talk to animals or something?" Jiro asked to the still pale Koji Koda, who only shivered at the thought of a bug near him.

"That is no excuse for what you did! It was still a reckless and irresponsible thing to do!" Ida yelled.

"How exactly is what I did irresponsible?" the American murmured.

"You shouldn't just go around picking stuff from the ground! Especially when it's poisonous!"

"Venomous, there's a difference."

"That doesn't make things better!"

"I still can't believe you were even able to touch… that thing. Much less call something so… BLEGH, cute." Mina said while shivering, with Toru seconding her.

"Far cuter and enjoyable to be with than some people that I know."

"What is that supposed to mean, you damn Yankee?!"

"I wasn't even being specific this time! So what does it say about you and your self-esteem if your first impulse was to draw that conclusion?"

"Care to repeat that?!"

"I said, what does it say about your self-esteem if your first impulse was to draw that conclusion!"

"Parker, don't antagonize people!"

"It's not my fault napalm brain shot himself in the foot!"

"I'll shoot you in the foot!"

"C-Come on, guys. T-There's no need to fi-"

"Shut it, Deku! Or I'll shoot you on the foot too!"

"Next week can't come any faster, can it?" Snipe thought to himself as he listened to their argument.

He knew that having favorites as a teacher was unbecoming and very unprofessional… but dear god, was he starting to appreciate class B more and more as time went on.

They were all inside of the observation tower of ground Omega. Currently watching the team of Vector and Uraraka and Kirishimma and Ojiro competing with who can find their dummy first. By now, it's been approximately five to eight minutes since they were signaled to begin their search. The boy with the hardening quirk and the tailed boy were currently making their way through their section of ground Omega in different directions. They thought that if they were to cover more ground, then their likelihood of finding their dummy would increase. The girls on the other hand, were mostly sticking together. It was fairly obvious that it was mainly due to the blue girl probably feeling terrified of the thought of looking for the dummy by herself that the two were sticking so close to one another. But even then, there was a certain level of strategic reason that such a scenario could be chosen over the boys' method. For example, having two sets of eyes search for something at the same time as just one, would decrease any chances of missing a crucial detail. Plus, since they were only going with the most bare minimum, they didn't have any way to communicate with one another. So if they were near the vicinity of each other, then it meant that the risk of not communicating would be reduced as well.

Overall, not that bad so far… and at least no one has fallen on the river.

"I want you kids to pay as much attention as possible. Analyzing your classmates' performances could give you an idea of what to and what not to do once your turn is up." the teacher told the class.

"It will be us to bring triumph! Right, mone mi?" Aoyama asked Sato.

"We sure will…! But seriously, where do you get all the glitter? Or is that just… something that happens?" he asked, questioning the sparkles around his teammates that had just appeared.

"As if! We'll be the ones to win, you goddamn extras!" Bakugo yelled out loud, only to quickly turn to his 'teammate'. "Right?"

"Y-Y-Y-Y-YEAH!" Mineta cried.

Meanwhile down with the girls, the two were still looking for their dummy near the small ravine that Snipe had mentioned. It was still on their side of ground Omega, so it was ok as far as things go. Valerie suggested (in her shy manner) that if this were a real scenario, then the lost hiker would probably follow the flow of the river/ravine. She once heard that said tactic is something that could lead someone to civilization. Uraraka decided to follow her lead, since this was a first for her. Plus, it did sound logical to her, so maybe the blue girl could be up to something.

"Nothing so far. How about you, V-chan? Found anything?" Uraraka asked.

"N-No." she replied.

"Really? Oh man, and here I thought that looking near here would be a good idea."

"S-Sorry." the blue American apologised, sounding a little bummed down and making Uraraka react quickly.

"Oh, I didn't mean to say that your idea was bad or anything, please there's no need to apologise." she said, trying to reassure her.

"S-Sorry…" the blue American apologised, only for her to realize what she did after what the japanese girl said. "... S-Sorry…" she said once more… and realized once more what she did.

"Wow, she's really, really not used to talking with other people." Uraraka thought, just now noticing just how shy she was. Like she's giving her this image of a child only now learning how the world works for some reason. "Do you think that we should start looking somewhere else?"

"Um… I don't know… w-what do you t-think?"

"Oh, I don't know. Sorry, I'm not good at solving things like this." the round-faced girl apologised.

"... W-What if t-the dummy is on the trees?" the foreigner suggested.

"Uh, on the trees? What makes you think it could be?" Uraraka gently asked… although for some reason the blue girl of white hair seemed somewhat intimidated.

"... W-Well… s-since this is a s-simulation of a h-hiker getting lost in the forest… and the f-forest has a lot of animals… m-maybe the h-hiker could have climbed one f-for r-refuge against some p-predators?"

"Huh, I didn't think of that. Great idea, V-chan!" Uraraka congratulated the foreigner, who blushed at the compliment. "Mmm… Well, I don't think he could have climbed the trees from this part of the forest… or at least I wouldn't if I were a lost hiker. Plus, I think we would have noticed by now."

"S-So that means w-we should look somewhere e-else?" the blue girl asked.

"I guess." she replied as the two then started to head for another area to look for.

Uraraka acted as normal as she usually would. A happy look on her face and doing the best that she could… And Valerie… was the complete opposite. She either looked really uneasy or really scared. Like she was almost expecting for the trees to suddenly try and eat her, or for a maniac with a chainsaw to suddenly jump out of nowhere and give her a scare. Ochako was very social and friendly towards others. Back in middle school, she either tried to always offer a helping hand and/or befriend most of her classmates. So far, her current highschool life in U.A was somewhat similar to a degree. For example, she's pretty much on good terms with damn near everyone in class… well, with at least five exceptions.

The first two were Bakugo and Mineta. Bakugo had an explosive and kinda antagonistic attitude, so it was hard to even talk to the guy. Mineta… he was a pervert. There was no going around that. And even if he hasn't done anything too exceeding as far as she's aware, it was hard to interact with him because of that. Still, Deku was on friendly terms with him so far, so maybe he isn't that bad. Todoroki was another one of her classmates that she has had very little interaction with. He's very stoic and doesn't talk that much. Plus, he's somewhat reserved, or just doesn't want to talk that much. Still, he seemed nice. Lastly, there were the two Americans and boy were there more than a handful of reasons as to why she has a hard time to even talk with the two of them.

First off, there was Parker. She seemed nice, caring, and despite her joking nature, was very smart and very serious and always trying to be responsible. She was also… very, very reserved. She talked with the others if they approached her with a question about something about school, or any issue like that, but that was it. She doesn't talk too much about her or anything like her likes and dislikes. At most, she does a little quip with Sato, follows a statement of Yaomomo with one her own (and despite saying it in a very casual manner, was just as intelectual), or just arguing with either Ida and/or Bakugo… a lot actually. So far, the only people she has seen the redhead interact with in a very casual and friendly manner, were probably just V, Deku to an extent and the other students that she sits with during lunch period. She wondered if it had to do with who her father is. That was probably it. She wasn't that much into with some of the legal parameters and whatnot of hero work in Japan (like, the fancy-talk part of it), but she was aware of the basics and the basics were very simple; a hero must have a hero license, a hero will be rewarded monetarily after a job well done and will be ranked based on said work and that doing hero work without a license was the same as vigilantism and that vigilantism was wrong.

Although it was probably only a Japan thing (and probably the same with other nations with a similar system). So she wondered how things were done in America and other parts of the world. After all, the United States is considered the birthplace of modern heroes. And their heroes are always up to some crazy stuff, or at least that's what she's heard others say. They were probably a little more lenient about that… or maybe it was also wrong? Maybe that has to do with why she's here? She never mentions her father, but from what she can tell so far is that he's a very busy man and that Parker truly loves and respects him. If the argument she had with Ida and the others last Friday before the attack was any indication, that is.

As for V, she was shy… really, really shy. She's kinda of… well, a scary cat (or at least that's what she thinks that's what the people of her country say about people like V). She seemed very scared of many things and unless she was with Parker or someone she was already close with, chances are that she probably would choose to avoid any kind of social interaction if possible. So far, only Ojira has been somewhat able to get past that shyness, although it was to be expected after hearing that they were trapped in the same area with many villains surrounding them.

Still, that wasn't going to stop her. She's of the believe that sometimes people could need a friend and maybe the two of them could have another one. So, she decided to try and have some small talk with her to try and break the ice. Who knows, maybe they have something in common.

"Hey, V-chan, why don't we talk while looking for the dummy?" she suggested, to the unsure blue girl.

"I-I don't k-know… W-What if we g-get distracted?"

"Don't worry, V-chan! We'll be ok, so let's try and get to know one another better, ok?" Uraraka insisted.

"Um… ok, I guess. S-So what d-do we do?" Valerie asked.

"How about our likes? If you want, I can start. I like traditional Japanese food. My favorite is mochi. I always try to eat it when I can… even if my parents tell me that I shouldn't eat it that much."

"M-Mochi?"

"Uh? You mean you haven't had it?"

"I d-don't think so…"

"Oh trust me, you need to have some! It's so yummy!" Uraraka excitedly said, unintentionally scaring Valerie for a moment at seeing her so pumped up for something. "I like to have it with some green tea if I can. Oh, I also like to watch the night sky!"

"The n-night sky?"

"Yeah, I like to watch the stars. It's so nice and relaxing. Kinda makes you think a bit about what's out there in space and all."

"Well… space is kinda scary…" Valerie said, making Uraraka feel a little bummed down even if she didn't show it. "... B-But… I think that the stars are nice." she followed, making the other girl smile.

They then continued their search, looking for any sign on the ground, as well as above on the trees. While they did, Valerie had yet to say anything so far, being somewhat shy and scared to share anything about herself. Still, while many would no doubt take offense to that, or just point out how rude said action was, Uraraka tried to be patient. Having a feeling that she needed to work at her own pace. Just because Parker can get her to open up more (or at least as far as she has seen when the two interact), doesn't mean that she'll be as open with others.

Still, the thought of constantly being rude bombarded Valerie, wanting to be anything but that. So as they kept on their search, already on their third spot to look for the dummy, she started to try and build her own courage to reply to Uraraka's offer of a simple small talk. And once she felt as confident as she thought she could be, she opened her mouth.

"I…" Valerie said, surprising Uraraka as she was looking near a bush. "... I enjoy having ginger cake… someone that I l-look up to makes it for me from t-time to time… and… I sometimes have it with some black or oolong tea."

"Oooh, sounds fancy!" Uraraka said, making the other girl blush

"N-Not really… I a-also like to draw…" Valerie said, although that last bit was said in a lower tone that, unfortunately for the blue girl, was still audible for the Japanese girl.

"Really? That is so cool!" Uraraka said, making Valerie blush a bit.

"I-I'm still learning…"

"Could I see your drawings? I bet they're really nice!"

Naturally, Valerie reacted the way one would expect. It's not that she didn't want to show Uraraka her drawings… but asking her to have confidence is like asking Panda bears to not go extinct. Unless someone were holding their hands (or paws in case of the bear), that was just not going to happen. Then, she noticed that Uraraka was looking her way, but not her exactly. No, she was actually looking slightly above her direction. With her curiosity piqued, Valerie turned around and looked at where Uraraka was looking. Then, she was able to see something weird on one of the branches of one of the trees. After squinting their eyes and walking a little back, they were now capable of recognizing that what they were looking at was actually the dummy.

Uraraka congratulated the blue American, for her idea worked. And even though she acted her usual shy self, she smiled back at the complement. And what's better, was that thankfully the dummy was within the reach of Valerie's ability to create portals. So, with some careful maneuvers, the two became the first team to complete the exercise. And as one would expect, that fact was followed by the rest of their classmates and their teacher to congratulate the two of them. Even their two opponents gave them encouraging words once they arrived a total of eight minutes later. And of course, Valerie was starting to feel pretty overwhelmed, which grew tenfold when Uraraka mentioned that Valerie came up with the idea of looking above them. Thankfully, she was now by Annie's side, so that made things easier for her.

The class kept it's course, with each team now aware that there was the possibility of the dummies being hidden on the trees. By now, they were watching the teams of Kodai and Tsu vs the team of Bakugo and Mineta. And truth is… pervert or not, they were feeling for Mineta. Poor little fella was going from seemingly one end of their section of the forest to another. Not because he wanted to impress the ladies of his class, but because he didn't want to cause the rage of his teammate if they were to lose. Thankfully for him, they ended up winning, with the other team finishing just two minutes later.

"Who knew that Minoru could move that fast." Annie said.

"With Bakugo as my teammate, I would to." Kaminari said.

"Kachan can be very motivational."

"You and I have different definitions of that word, buddy." the American said, their teacher turned to them.

"With those four now on the clear, if the next pairs could get ready?" he said, for after they all got to the watchtower, the order was soon decided.

"Guess we're up, Izuku."

"Yeah."

"Good luck, Parker-san, Midoriya-kun." Momo told the two.

"Yeah Parker, Midoriya, may the best team win." Jiro followed, which was followed by a nod from the green-haired boy… and the redhead murmuring something about no one calling her by her first name.

The four students were about to head to the entrance of ground Omega, but Snipe stopped them before they could.

"What is it, sir?" Annie asked.

"I believe I said that you were going to do this exercise with only the bare minimum." he said, pointing at the web-shooter that she had on her right wrist. "Your powers don't force you to require an assist tool like Aoyama's belt. And I know for a fact that your assist tool is too versatile. I'll have to ask you to hand it over." he told her.

Normally, any student would do as their teacher says, especially in cases like this. And Annie herself was very respectful towards her teachers in most cases (ignoring her talking back to Aizawa, a comment or two about All Might and that time she ate a drawing of her spider family instead of giving it to her teacher when she asked for it)... However, this was not the case. She looked at the device on her wrist and looked like a child was told to give away their pet or their favorite toy… or, a gift of their parents.

"D-Do I have to?" she asked her teacher, keeping her right arm close to her chest and having a hold on the device with her left hand.

"If I were to let you keep it, it would be an unfair advantage."

"W-What if I promised to not use it?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't let you keep it for the exercise."

"I'll… I-I'll clean every toilet of the school if I so much as to spin a web."

"Parker, stop acting so childish and hand the device over to Snipe-sensei!" the class rep told the redhead American.

"I can give you the web cartridges. That way, I won't be able to use it. I-I'll-"

"Parker, please hand it over." Snipe insisted, sounding a little more stern than before as he extended his hand, expecting for the student to do as he said.

Honestly, this shouldn't be such a drama. It was just some piece of equipment that he was asking for and an old one at that. And it's not like he was going to lose it or anything, she could have after they finish the exercise. If one were to use logic, the correct course of action would be to hand it over and she knew that… but….

"Sir… please…?" Annie pleaded to her teacher.

The sight was a bit of a surprise to the class as a whole. This was Parker, the always joking and headstrong girl that was ready for almost anything. She always challenged both Bakugo and Ida in one way or another, she was ready to talk back to Aizawa if she saw it fit and if the events of the U.S.J are to prove anything is that she's either the bravest student in class or had a death wish… or both.

Now though, she didn't resemble any of that. Instead… she was acting in a manner that was similar to the way Midoriya or the young Van Dyne would. Something that felt like almost the opposite of her nature.

Still the normal course of action would be to ask the device once more. But Snipe simply sighed. It didn't seem like that was going to happen any time soon.

"... Fine. But I expect you to hand all of the cartridge over. I don't want to find out that you had one hidden or something of the likes." he told her as she nodded. She then took the cartridge that was in the web-shooter's chamber, as well as a pair that she had in her pocket to the teacher. "I also expect you to see me after class. Understood?"

"Yeah sir, thanks...and sorry."

"You may leave." Snipe told the four students, as they finally started to head for ground Omega's entrance.

"Well done children! Why, if you keep this pace, no doubt will you become great heroes in no time!" All Might encouraged the students under his care.

The group under the care of the Symbol of Peace of Japan were currently at the moment at the mountain zone of the U.S.J compound. More specifically, on the lower part of the zone, making it seem as if they were in the middle of a canyon. Just like with the other two groups, they were tasked with locating and retrieving a number of dummies scattered throughout the zone. However, unlike with the case of Vlad and Mayday's group, this one was being very efficient. By now, they had managed to find three dummies. Could it be that it was all thanks to the tutelage of the number one hero of the land of the rising sun…?

Nah.

He was doing a pretty good job so far, but never could he take credit that belonged to someone else. And the credit for such performance laid on the very students themselves. Between the team effort of Reiko, Kinko, Sen and Kuroiro, the support that was given by both Manga and Awase and the leadership of both Robbie and Neito (the later of which was kinda surprising to see he could be very analytic) they proved to be the most efficient of the three groups of their class.

Right now, they were trying to lower one of the dummies that was inside of a collapsed cavern. Removing the rubble from the cavern's entrance was not the most complicated of tasks to them, but getting it down to ground level was another matter entirely. It was on a very hard spot to reach for most of them.

"What should we do now?" the girl with the mushroom outfit asked.

"Can't you get it down with your chains, Reyes-san?" Manga asked the American.

"I would advise not to take that route just yet, young Fukidashi!" their teacher told them.

"Why's that, sensei?" Sen asked.

"While this may be a trial, try and take it as if this were a real scenario! One can not be so hasty when fulfilling their duties as a true hero!" he told them, with his always upbeat tone. "I want you all to think that right now, that dummy could be a real person. One that could be injured at that."

"I see. So if Reyes tried to use his chains, he could injure the civilian if he's not careful." Awase noted.

"Indeed!"

"So with that option out of the question, what now?" asked Kaibara.

"Victory so close to our grasp, yet still beyond our reach." Kuroiro said, as the group agreed with the sentiment.

Just then, however, the California child tried to think of a solution to their current issue at hand. And his train of thought led him to the fanatic of the occult of the group, believing that maybe she could be the key to it all.

"You think you can use your quirk to get it down safely?" he asked Yanagi.

"I don't know… if it's not above my weight limit, then I guess I could probably do it. But it would still be a bit of a hazel."

"Well then, if that's the case you think you can help her?" he asked Monoma, who understood perfectly what he had in mind.

"I see what you mean, Reyes. And I must say that it seems like you read my mind."

Neito Monoma - Quirk: Copy!

By coming into contact with someone else, he's able to copy their quirk at the most basic at very least, gaining all of its strengths and weaknesses along the way for a limited time period! He can store a total of four quirks at a time and has trouble with trying to replicate powers that aren't quirks in nature if at all! Still, better have a copyright lawyer near him!

The blonde boy then turned to one of his classmates, believing that he could be beneficial for the task to succeed without a hinch.

"Could you use your quirk then, to make a soft area for us to place the dummy? After all, if this were a real scenario and if the civilian was injured, leaving them to lay on the ground would just not be any good."

"Yeah, I can do that!" Manga replied.

Manga Fukidashi - Quirk: Comic!

It allows its user to manifest onomatopoeia in the real world, by creating the words written in Japanese, if it wasn't obvious! The words will have whatever effect the sound is based on!

"Alright then, everyone give them some space. But still keep an eye in case things go south." Robbie told the rest of the class.

They nodded and followed his orders, as Monoma touched Yanagi's shoulder, allowing him to copy her poltergeist quirk. As he did that, Manga made a sound that was the onomatopoeia of someone soft, for the dummy to lay on. And while they were doing that, All Might decided to approach the American child.

"Well done, young Reyes! You managed to come up with a well-thought plan that would allow you to fulfill your hero duties in a proper manner! I can see that you are quite the leader, my boy!" he congratulated Robbie.

"It was nothing. I'm sure the others would have thought of something sooner or later."

"Please, take pride in your accomplishments, young man! While what you say is true, it does not take the merit of your actions! I'm sure that they would agree!"

"Maybe." the student said, for that was definitely something his class would do.

Then, All Might thought of something while watching the other students doing what they could to lower the dummy. He failed to make a good impression on young Parker, he suspected as much. He wasn't able to approach the older Parker sister and both young Khan and the adoptive Van Dyne (even if at the very least he still had the respect of the later two as far as he was aware), and they were all the foreigners that he had taken a certain level of interest in. Not saying that he wasn't interested in his other students, far from it, teaching them was a duty of his as an educator… even if it looked like he was slacking in that regard… he had to fix that very soon.

But those specific individuals were different in more than one way. They all had, to an extent, connections to some of the greatest individuals that he had the pleasure of knowing. A different mentality with different ideas of what a hero should be, compared to most of their peers. And he believed that said ideas and mentality could be beneficial. Not just to them and his sucesor, even if the idea first came off from that possibility, but to the rest of the students. He wanted for the next generation of heroes to be something great. For them to accomplish great things and for them to grow into fine men and women that could uphold what was right. And if he wished to do just that, if he was to make sure that the path for their growth could be made, then someone had to make the first move and he wouldn't be a hero and teacher if he were to be that someone.

"How has life in Japan been treating you, young Reyes?" he asked, in English, to try and make things easier for him (even if the boy was taken aback a little by this).

"Well, I guess that I can't complain. Big time school, a couple of friends, a roof with three meals a day and I get to be with my brother and knowing that someone is actually looking over us? Truth is… nevermind, let's just say that things are nice."

"Worry not, my boy. I've read your application papers." All Might said, knowing that Robbie's time before U.A were… unfavorable to say the least. And while he mourned at the situation that young Reyes and others like him have to go through, he at least was glad that his story had a more positive outcome so far. "Quite the impressive background if I do say so myself. Good grades, with you being the top of your class, an adept mechanic at such a young age, being able to keep all of that and many more responsibilities…? I can see why Strange would take an interest in you." he said, making the boy give a small sigh.

"Guess that you know too, uh? Should have seen it coming. You hung with the Avengers back then, didn't you?"

"You could say that, I guess. And I take it he's that doctor you mention, right?"

"It's not exactly a lie."

"And I'm not implying that it is. I understand why you would be somewhat vague in that regard." the teacher reassured him. "So I take it that since he took interest in you and pushed for you to be here, that your abilities are magic in nature?"

"... Kinda."

"I see. You know, magic is something nor as commonly seen here in Japan as in other parts of the world. Or at least in the ways you may think."

"Really? How so?"

"You'll see as your time at U.A keeps going. Though hopefully none of you would have to learn the hard way, like I did."

"What happened?"

"Well… one of the first times I encountered a threat of a magic nature… Well, it wasn't that pretty. There was this foe that at first I believed to be some individual with either an animalistic quirk, a hairy mutant or just some guy that fell on a pool of something akin to radioactive shampoo. It wasn't until later that I learned that it was magi and thought the foe to be some sort of werewolf that I tried to do what they do in the movies and I still almost got my face bitten off!" he said, admitting that he could have lost in one of his first encounters with the arcane yet still gave a humoristic chuckle."Turns out, it was something that resembled a werewolf, but was not quite it. I still won, but it took me more than it should have, had I known at least something."

"Didn't Strange warn you of something like that?"

"Oh no, that was before I met him. I mentioned that to him and he did reassure me that something like was to be expected of someone that wasn't familiar with the mystic arts."

"Yeah, seems fair."

'But I can see that you have been doing well on your end! Those powers of yours sure are something, wouldn't you agree?"

"If you say so, sir. Though so far, a lot of the others still get spooked by it. Safe for web… safe for Annie and a few from class… Also, I sometimes catch Reiko having some sort of gleam in her eye whenever she sees me transform. What's up with that?"

"That I am not certain. Perhaps she thinks that they are a rather unique set of powers. Why in my time doing hero work overseas, I've only seen someone like you once before. Although he definitely looked spooky to me. He also looked more skull-like and had a bike with him." he said, remembering his meeting with at least one Ghost Rider. "Say, you two would happen not be related, would you?"

"World's a big place and all… actually… well truth is-" Robbie was doing something that he wasn't known for, he was rambling, trying to find the proper way to explain things, but thankfully for him, his teacher stopped him by placing a hand on his shoulder.

"It's ok, my boy. I won't insist if you don't feel comfortable doing so. Putting any of you in a difficult position is the last thing that I want to do." he reassured the boy, giving him his oh so iconic smile and for once, Robbie started to see why he was the number one hero. "In any case, you are now a student of U.A, and I, alongside the rest of the faculty body, are now your teachers. And as teachers, it is our duty to guide you on the path that will help you become the better version of yourself. So if there's anything we can do, or if you wish to speak about something, don't hesitate to approach any of us. I assure you, we'll be there." All Might finished, making the boy smile in gratitude.

"Thanks sir, I appreciate it." Robbie said, as he now had a newfound respect for the Symbol of Peace of Japan.

Guess his classmates weren't too delusional after all.

And so, class continued its course. The exercise went without a hinch and was as smooth as they had all hoped. Soon enough, time flew fairly quickly and in no time, the final bell rang. The guest teachers went to the principal's office, classes were now over and the students were walking through the hallways, preparing to go home and no doubt to try and put homework off as much as possible… until realizing that it was harder than first thought and they end up regretting not doing it earlier while finishing what they could at two in the morning. The students of class B were talking with one another, expressing their excitement at the fact that they finally got to have All Might as a teacher and got to that awesome complex that the school had. And best of all, no villain attacked them…! Ok maybe that was a little insensitive, but Monoma ended up getting hit by both Reyes and Kendo… so at least now the rest knew better.

As they were walking, they all spotted the American duo of class A whom Reyes and Khan always hung with during lunch period. When they did, both Robbie and Kamala turned to one another, nodded and with a serious look on their faces, headed towards them.

"What do you think they want to talk about?" asked Tokage.

"Don't know, but I've never seen Khan so determined." said Awase, who was soon followed by Manga.

"And I didn't think Reyes could be any more serious than he was already."

"I hope it's nothing bad." Pony said with some worry as the four Americans were now talking with one another.

"When higher powers meet, it's best for the rest to-"

"WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR MONTHS! WHY DID NO ONE MENTIONED IT BEFORE?!" the redhead American yelled, cutting Kuroiro mid-sentence.

Turns out, they were still sore about just learning that the U.S.J (Universal Studios Japan) was a thing.

---

Somewhere inside of a very tall building, there was a talk between the people inside. Word of the former American vigilante being on probation started to spread faster and faster. Well, there were still some people that were as aware of that detail as some. There were a few that just thought that she had bad taste, but regardless, that didn't take away the fact that she was still a somewhat polarizing figure. After all, it's not like Spider-Man is that liked in Japan. That tends to happen when you punch their national hero in the face a couple of times… among other things.

Still, she was starting more and more talk among some civilians and most of all, among the pro-heroes and other law enforcers and others. Especially after how it seems like she and Ingenium have been stopping crime after crime left and right. And after learning that the two had a hand in apprehending some of the villains that attack U.A, well that only got more people talking.

"Huh, who would have thought that she had it in her?" a woman of red-orange eyes and pointy teeth said, looking at a news report of Spider-Girl and Ingenium stopping a robbery in progress of a bank in Housu.

"I say it was probably Ingenium doing the heavy lifting." a man covered in strips of bandages said, taking a sip of his beverage.

"Poor Four Kind. His agency was the nearest one and they ended up getting upstage like that?" an individual with a horned hapiri said. "Regardless of whether you like her or not, that's gotta stink."

"I hear you. Well, at least we know Ingenium is doing a good job. Although if things go well, I bet that Idaten will get a surge in popularity…well, more than it already is."

"When you put it like that, it makes me kinda wish she was here." the bandage man said.

"Wonder why the boss didn't get to be her supervisor?" the woman asked.

And as for said boss, he was in his office. One large and imposing, expected for someone of his caliber. There were two sofas on top of a fancy carpet and with a nice coffee table in the middle. A chandelier above them and large windows overseeing the city. In his desk, was the person in charge, looking at the same report as his underlings, while having a newspaper on top of his desk. One of months by now, about a department building catching fire and with a picture of the arachnid-themed heroine swinging towards it to save the day. The only good picture of her doing hero work since arriving in Japan.

"Mm… it's still hard to think that she's here of all places. To expect that his child would be in Japan over any other country in the world is, unexpected to say the least." the man said, rubbing his beard… his flaming beard, that is.

My Hero Academia: Legacy Bits! - To Live With A Genius!

It was an ordinance day in the small Stark residence of Musutafu Japan. Jarvis was out for the day, dealing with certain business and probably getting the groceries for the week (as he kept insisting on doing them), leaving the two adoptive daughters of Janet Van Dyne at home. Valerie, the eldest of the two, was currently in the kitchen. She had been baking some desserts for them to have later. Nothing too out of the ordinary, just some chocolate and cherry muffins for Annie and her family, apple pay for the two Reyes brothers and their legal guardian Yu and for Kamala and Miss Aikawa, and despite that one being the hardest of them all, it was still fun to do. Jarvis is an excellent cook and since she was already learning to paint from Captain America, she thought that learning to cook could do her some good. So, she has been the student of the Avengers butler for a while now.

At the moment, she was finishing the dessert for them specifically to enjoy afterwards. Nothing too fancy… god do they have enough of that as it is. Just some cookies. Valerie made three sets for each of them specifically and none of them with a sign of nuts. After all, she didn't want to risk Jarvis having an allergic reaction. One set was plain old chocolate chips for Nadia, it's not like she was hard to please when it comes to sweets. She gets very excited with most things, actually. The other one were of shortbread cookies. Fancy-looking cookies, for a fancy palate. And for the hybrid girl, blueberry macarons.

"I think that they're ready." Valerie said, going to the oven and turning the light on.

When she did, she saw that her feelings were right. Nadia's chocolate chip cookies were finally done. She smiled at the results of her labor, turning both the light of the oven and the oven itself off and getting the plate of cookies out. The aroma was also very nice and sweet. Then, an idea came to mind. Sure this was for later, but maybe giving her sister a treat wouldn't be bad, right? With that in mind, she took two cookies of each set and headed for Nadia's room. After knocking a couple of times and getting no answer, she apologized and entered. She was probably sleeping, she thought, so she would just leave the plate of sweets on her drawer and- what was she looking at?

The whole room was a mess! There were pieces of paper all over the place. As if a tornado had come in and out of the room while no one was looking! And why were the blankets and pillows piled on the floor instead of the bed?

"N-Nadia?" Valerie called, as suddenly the younger sister piped out of the pile of blankets.

Yeah, that sounded like her.

"Oh, hi Valerie!" the girl said, pulling herself off the pile of blankets and revealing that she had no pants.

… she was thinking of science stuff.

Well, at least her button-down sleep shirt was like three times bigger than her… so there was that.

"Are those cookies?!" he asked, rushing to the side of her teenage adoptive sister and taking a bite of one of the choice chips cookies. "So goooood! Do you have some milk with you?"

"W-What were you doing?"

"Oh you know, stuff. Don't worry there are no death lasers, everything is all productive!" she reassured the blue girl as Bill came flying by.

"Greetings, scientist ultra-supreme Nadia Pym, I have returned from my mission! Unfortunately I was unable to obtain the uranium you require-"

"U-U-Uranium?!" Valerie asked, almost turning fifty shades of white.

"Oh, greetings princess Valerie! I was not expecting for you to be here!"

"W-W-Why d-do y-you need uranium?!"

"Oh, you know, stuff." Nadia replied, as a mortified look appeared on Valerie's face. "Everything is all safe, so don't worry!" she said… as she suddenly started to vibrate… making Valerie worry.

However, said worry started to lessen when she heard that there seemed to be a sound of a phone vibrating. And putting two and two together, she quickly realized that it was her phone… because of course it was. However, she had no pants and the sleep shirt that she had, had no pockets. And if the look on her face that told her that Nadia was doing her best not to laugh was any indication, that meant that her phone was…

"D-Did you put your phone on your bra?"

"Uh-hu." Nadia replied, as she started to reach for her phone… by pulling her arm inside of her sleep shirt, that is.

And as adorable as that might be, Valerie wondered if she should start worrying.

Hello there and Happy Holidays…! Unless you don't celebrate anything this month. I. Which case, Happy… day, I guess.

It's been a while with this story. Was busy doing stuff, trying and succeeding in not failing school and just other house stuff. So since there were a handful of comments from last chapter, might as well reply to some.

First off, I can tell that there were some that liked my preview. Well, the two series are now up alongside a one-shot to start it all which, fun fact, could have been chapter one when the idea first came to mind, but I decided to start chapter one of both of them a little differently. What do you think of them? I've been having fun writing them. Do any of you have some ideas for the legacy one. So far, I've actually been talking with at least three people about them and their ideas, so if any of you are still eager to have a possible idea for it, just PM me and we can talk about them. Just some ground rules, if you want for your story to be there, try and avoid making it rated M. I can talk about the specifics of it later and/or privately if any of you message me, but the shot version of it all is that it's mainly to try and keep things consistent. It would be odd to read an appropriate chapter one moment, only to read something on the other side of the spectrum in tbe other one. I might update this chapter with some other stuff about the stories and all later (mainly because it would take a while and I just want this chapter to be up already), so yeah, there's that.

Now, review talk.

Aztec 13, Random65 and CRUDEN, good to see you back. Glad that you've enjoyed it and hopefully you keep on enjoying.

For'Sleepy: oh yeah, that happened. I know of its existence, but I haven't read it just yet. But hey, there was a story in Marvel comics about Deadpool in Japan. It involved him, ninjas, some briefcase or something and Deadpool's monster queen wife. Don't know where I'm going with this, so let's keep going, shall we?

One guess asked if we'll see Spider's villains, to which I say… we kinda already have. I mean excluding Regent and the Bar with no Name, we have seen both Joey and Supercharger… Yeah, sure, they're not exactly the most iconic and/or threatening. To the point that they're on the bottom of the least and are only a threat to inexperienced heroes. And sure, they may be getting built up to become Annie's (and the rest of U.A) baddies, but they're there.

PikaMew1288: Well, I don't know if I would go that far with Aizawa. Like, yeah sure he isn't exactly teacher of the year, but at least he does show that he actually gives two thirds of a flying turd at bare minimum. Which is more than we can say about the guy that was just a jerk to students because he was bitter that one of the students' dad used to bully him and ended up marrying his childhood sweetheart… I think.

I'ma be honest, I have never read Harry Potter and have never watched any of his films from front to back in one sit with the exception of either the second or third one (and that was only because there was nothing else on TV at the moment). And also, I'm fairly certain that the web of life and destiny doesn't work like that… at all. I even asked to make sure of it. And while I am no living encyclopedia, I do know my spider-stuff fairly well. Plus, there was a whole event of people artificially tapping into it and the most that happened, was that they turned into actual spiders. And not only did that happen after a long period of time of at least a coupon of days, but was probably mostly the Spider Queen's doing. That and there's both the fact that Renew Your Vows MJ was also tapping into it in a more artificial manner and that Otto was later on doing the same via clone bodies that the Inheritors didn't even want to eat… and nothing happened. So I don't know, but I don't think that Monoma could explode just because he tried to copy a spiser-totem's power. Not like he should normally since it isn't a quirk, but I'm trying to make things for.

The other guest that goes by Hiroplay37: you have your fair share of criticism and to that I say… you're right. Under any normal circumstances Peter wouldn't juts leave his family like that and truth is, he wasn't going to originally.

I'll go into a detail another time, but the originally, the story was very different from what we have now and in one of the different versions of the story that I had Peter was going to Japan with them as well. But there are just a lot of issues that come with that. When talking about the character himself, ditching New York like that doesn't feel right either. And while sure, there are more heroes that could try and pick his slack… things would go well in the long run. Excluding the fact that the idea of Peter basically dropping his responsibility on someone else in that way to is just not him, every time that something like this occurs, they almost always find a way to screw things up, forcing Peter to have to step in and try and fix the problem. Just look at the Red Goblin fiasco where he had to be the one to beat Norman despite having the help of Flash, Miles, Cindy, Clash, Jhona, Venom, Otto and even MJ. King's Ransom in which if he hadn't done anything, the other heroes of New York wouldn't have bat an eye at Kingpin and the life tablet. Absolute Carnage where the only Avenger to have the decency of showing up was Cap, whenever the Sinister Six messed with someone that isn't him, etc…

But the biggest reason of them all… if Spider-Man were in the story, then there wouldn't be a story. Or at least as we know it. Like, All Might has a time limit for how long he can do hero work. Spidey doesn't have that. As a matter of fact, he has the opposite. He can be a hero for literally days without so much as a shut eye. He's also a hero comparable with the Avengers, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. In some cases, he is a hero that surpasses them and especially when it comes to street work. Like, the second he hears about some loonies attacking his daughter's school, much less that two are targeting her specifically, he's going to just go on town with them. Even if he couldn't reach the U.S.J in time and that All Might is the one to solve everything like in canon, he wouldn't be left with his arms crossed as if nothing ever happened.

The moment that's over, he would start his own investigation regardless of whether or not he's even allowed to do it, would no doubt track All for One's operations and would surely give me potato head and his goons a piece of his mind. Likes the guy being there would make him the smartest man in the country by default. He's good enough to impress Richards, Pym and Stark and in at least one ovation, one-up them. He once figured out a Hydra conspiracy before any other Avenger could. His plans are so good that Otto pulled a Tower of Babel on him by stealing them and beating the Avengers all Ra's Al Ghul style and has dead-ass stayed that he could come up with a plan to beat (and possibly kill) the Hulk. There's just so many blockroads that one can put before they start to feel forced. And even if one could say that All for One would still be too much for Spidey (which at least to me would be too improbable on so many levels), him being there means that All Might wouldn't push himself too hard, they could coordinate an attack on him with the other heroes when they least expected and All for One is no more. And if all things fail, then they're just one quick call to the Avengers and Fantastic Four and some of the X-Men away from beating him (since only with these sorts of scenarios, where they actually listen to the guy… sometimes) and only in a drunken dream high on LSD would you think that he could so much as to at least last five seconds against at least half of it (and even then, you would still find doubt in it all).

Yeah, Peter does deserve a happy ending and I'm sure that you could come up with a lot of other valid reasons as to why Peter should be in Japan or his family still in New York. Which is one of the reasons as to the existence of the two anthology series. I mean, there was a gap of literal months in-between Vow of a Wall-crawler and chapter one. Surely in that period of time, would one think that things could have been solved. And so, I'll do everything I can to give as much reason as to why that didn't happen. Hopefully I can at least satisfy you that. And if not and you guys still think I'm a hack (which would be understandable)... Well, there's probably a reason why I'm not a professional writer, right?

This is actually something that I like about reviews like this and why I welcome them. One can't go around life only hearing nice things of why they want to hear. That way, they wouldn't be able to grow (as a person, writer, you name it). So again, if any of you find something that you found odd, didn't like or just think that could have gone better if taken into a different way, don't be afraid to mention it. I have to learn to take criticism and learn how to take criticism (it's different to, say, telling a Chef that the soup may need a little more salt than to complain that your Enchiladas are spicy when you like sweet food. One just doesn't make sense at all). And even if for some reason I get a review of a hater or something (which so far, I don't think I have ever gotten one as far as I'm aware), I would still take at least a couple of minutes to read it and analyze it. Because a broken clock can be right twice a day, a madman can make sense every now and then and a liar would say the truth once in his life. Even if it's mostly random ramble, there might be something worth looking at it that tells me of something that could help me do better.

I am by no means some expert writer (that I'm sure it's already been proven). I can make mistakes and I can learn from them. So feel free to point them out and hopefully we can all learn something new.

Well, it's been long enough as it is. So to finish things off, I just want to say thanks for taking your time to read the rambles of a guy that should probably do more sleeping, Happy Holidays to those that celebrate anything these days and to those that don't hope you guys are doing well. Here's to making it to one more year and here's to making it to another one.

Good night/day, happy new year and I'll see you all later. Stay safe.
