Daemon of Wrath: Baka-gou, hah! Classic! No, Izuku will not use his soldier. He isn't planning to manslaughter anyone, even his former bully. Shigaraki as Antares' host is a good idea, but for some reason, it feels….a bit off, I don't know why. And Chimera as a second host choice is also a good idea. Thanks for agreeing with Quaresha's idea. As for saving the host from Monarch, you'll see in the future because I have an idea for that. Athenio's host, Nedzu and La Brava is a good choice, but you forgot another candidate, Saiko Intelli and Momo Yaoyorozu. As for Arios, how about Tensei Iida/Ingenium post-Hosu arc? Knuckle Duster as a Ruler's host is a unique take, but I might consider it. As for Star and Stripe *shudders* I am terrified that the villain's fate will be in Star's hands. As for Gentle and La Brava, that's a good idea and I just have a perfect idea of which role they will play.

uchiha-rune: the luck of the main characters is always random. I'll leave Mineta's fate to you and the reader's imaginations. Also, true about Todoroki. And for TVTropes, it's fine. I was just asking because I was curious.

ProjectIceman: You have no idea.

AnimeFan13579: Yeah, poor Tokoyami. Jokes aside, you're right. The only possible Izuku pull out the power of Shadow Monarch will be in USJ.

TheSlySage: In order of your reviews, the identity of the location will remain a mystery for the characters, so it will remain '???' until they visit the place once again. I try to make Izuku a normal teenager, not a perfect human being as the chapters have shown it multiple times. As for the UEIS, just imagine, a world of superheroes and they could make a cool idea for names, but they choose UEIS of all things. It's like hearing a bad superhero name when there are better choices. One example is Can't Stop Twinkling. As for the fight, it was intentionally made to look like it was forced. Izuku is a kid who never likes to fight, but his pent-up anger toward anything related to bullying makes him toss away his rational thoughts. Mirko is a professional hero with years of experience and knows not to start an unnecessary fight, but her pride and her past made her start the fight without thinking. As for the phone, there will be times when anyone forgets to bring it with them. Trust me, I have first-hand experience with those. Kandiaru's 'Good Luck' looks more like him mocking Izuku than a 'blessing'.

Whitemare: No need to apologize about it, but a reminder that this story didn't focus on romance, so your ships may or may not appear. And even if they become official, they will not be a main focus. For the Ice Elves' Arc (Rename it from Red Gate Arc since it won't make sense as the Birth of Trinity Arc involves the Red Gate as well), it will happen early (I did read the manhwa, so no need to apologize for the spoilers). As for Melissa's OFA usage, she just started her training a week before UA's first day, do you think she will get stronger that instant, even with the headstart of carrying all kinds of support items, materials, or tools over the years? 45% or 50% is completely out of questions and it will make her too OP. And before pointing out that Izuku himself is OP, he takes an entire Saga before he starts to curb-stomp the majority of the boss, and magic itself is literal outside-context magic in the world of quirks.

Kouteikuro: Ah, apologies. But, even so, that isn't something that can be joked about lightly. They're 15 years old. Also, I doubt Izuku will do any of that because he was traumatized by the Kobold's…activities back in the 2nd Arc. As for Bakugou, you'll just have to see his future fate. Unlike Horikoshi, I make sure he pays for his consequences, like how he has a permanent injury in his lungs thanks to Sludge Villain, he was on constant watch by heroes after Aldera, and he got a taste of his own medicine when he moved to another school, and they all are just a tip of the iceberg. If you read my replies with Daemon of Wrath, you'll understand.

The Next Day

U.A. High

Musutafu, Japan

"I can't believe this, the Dark Lord wasn't in my class but in another one along with that damn raven!"

Kuroiro can be seen walking towards U.A. while grumbling, his bag hangs on his shoulder as his head slumps down in disappointment. When he first got his acceptance results, he couldn't be happier as he got into the U.A.'s Hero Course. Not to mention, he is happy that his Dark Lord got in (More like he saw Izuku's name on the first rank and assumes that's the Dark Lord's true name) but to his disappointment, he wasn't in the same class as his.

To make it worse, the raven who tried to get the attention of the Dark Lord himself was in the same class as him! The blasphemy!

Kuroiro shakes his head before he calms himself down. He will control his emotions and make sure he doesn't embarrass the Dark Lord himself. Out of nowhere, he saw the familiar boy with messy green hair walking in front of him along with the girl with brown hair (possibly his Dark Mistress?) and the spiky red/black-haired boy (Dark Lord's right-hand man!). In excitement, he immediately rushes towards his Dark Lord before he unintentionally bumps into someone, causing both of them to fall with a loud yelp.

"Urrgh…" Kuroiro groans as he rubs his bruised forehead and turns around to see who the culprit is, which makes him scowl. It is the raven himself, in the flesh.

"Ugh, what did I crash into?" Tokoyami mutters before looking at Kuroiro. "Oh, it's you…"

"' It's you?!' That's it!?" Kuroiro loses his shit before he got up. "You have crashed onto me and all you say is 'It's you!?'"

"We don't have time for this," Tokoyami mutters before trying to walk away but is stopped by Kuroiro. "Get away, I'm having an audience with the Dark Lord."

"You!?" Kuroiro chuckles mirthlessly. "Do you think you are worthy enough to have an audience with such a figure? It is clear that you have lived in your delusion. I am the one who's worthy of such a thing."

"You? What makes you think you are more worthy than me?" Tokoyami scowls as he crosses his arms. "From what I saw, you clearly are full of yourself. And I doubt the Dark Lord will agree to have an audience who doesn't know his place."

"Oh, now you made it personal." Kuroiro growls.

"You did it the moment you started this aggression in the entrance exam." Tokoyami scowls as he summons Dark Shadow.

"Woohoo, the creature of the night and the one blessed with the shadow! This battle shall be legendary!" Dark Shadow exclaims in excitement. "The winner shall have the audience with the true Dark Lord himself!"

"Affirmative," Fumikage says with a smirk as Kuroiro prepares himself. But, before anything could happen, they feel their power suddenly shut off and tied up by a capture scarf. They turn to see Aizawa in his full glory, his scarf floats around his head, and his hair moves around as his eyes glow red.

"What, are you two doing?" Aizawa asks with a scowl. Before they could reply, Aizawa cut them off. "Never mind, I'll hear everything once I call Vlad King to discuss this problem." With that, Aizawa drags the edge lord duo away. Meanwhile, the Trinity has heard everything, from the crash to Aizawa's arrival. It's safe to say Ochako and Eijirou chuckle at the entire conversation while Izuku isn't amused in the slightest.

"Not funny…" Izuku mutters.

"Sorry, sorry. I-it's just…." Eijirou chuckles. "Two edge lords know your power and start worshipping you to the ground. It's so bizarre that I can't help but to laugh out of disbelief!"

"Nothing about it is funny." Izuku deadpans. "And I would like to not have edge lords start calling me 'Dark Lord'. Being called a Shadow Monarch upon seeing me is already annoying."

"I don't know….I kinda want to see more…" Ochako mutters as Izuku looks at her in utter disbelief and betrayal. "I'm joking, I'm joking." Izuku simply crosses his arms and pout while they laugh at him before they all walk away. Meanwhile, from afar, Shoto watches the group with narrowed eyes, curiously wondering about what happened yesterday.

When he first obtains his magic from Sillad, he believes that he has gained the power that could topple the world. It didn't help his easy victory against Endeavor as he beat him with zero difficulty. But, his beliefs were shattered as the Trinity showed their strength and control that was far superior to his, which didn't sit well for him at all. At the same time, he wonders who grants them such power because it is nothing like the power granted by Sillad himself.

On another side, Bakugou can be seen glaring daggers at the back of Izuku's head. He growls in anger, especially with everything that happened yesterday. He thinks Deku has grown a big head ever since he reveals he has a quirk and forgets his place. All the laser-guided karma and the consequences he faces only feed his delusions even more. All he could think of was to beat Deku in his place, nothing more nothing less.

As the Trinity walks in the hallway, they notice the Big Three walking towards them, Mirio waving at him cheerfully, and Nejire trying to tackle and hug Izuku, but is stopped by Ochako with her staff. Amajiki sighs in exasperation at the interaction as Eijirou gives him a sympathetic smile. Mirio can't help but chuckle at Nejire's action while Izuku can only give him the holy of all deadpan stare. Nejire pouts as she leans on Ochako's staff while Ochako gives her a death glare.

"Haha, all greetings aside, how are you, my kouhais!?" Mirio exclaims as Izuku shakes his head with a smile.

"Good," Izuku says warmly. "We got to meet Gang Orca last evening and he brought us to dinner."

"He did!?!" Mirio exclaims before groaning. "Damn it, I miss it!"

"I told you, lay down on your training, but nooo, you just have to continue to push yourself beyond your limit." Nejire chastised Mirio, who could only rub the back of his head sheepishly. "I never understand why you continue to push yourself harder. You're already one of the strongest students in the U.A."

"I can't, Nejire," Mirio says as Nejire pouts, but the Trinity can see a hint of sadness in her expression.

"Why are you so obsessed with becoming stronger?" This immediately causes Izuku to tense up, grimacing at the words.

"…..just to prepare for a possible future threat," Those words immediately cause the Trinity to flinch. No one saw that except for Amajiki. Nejire sighs before walking away, which makes Mirio chase after her while Amajiki looks at the Trinity.

"You guys know something, don't you?" Amajiki asks quietly.

"Sorry, but we were told not to tell anyone about it," Izuku says. "But maybe you will hear the details later."

"From who?" Amajiki asks in confusion.

"The new UA Staff."

Later

Class 1-A

'So….boring….'

The entire class sans for selected few students can be seen staring at the whiteboard in utter boredom as Present Mic tries to teach the students English. But, unfortunately, it was visibly shown that none of them were interested in learning from Present Mic given how boring his teaching is.

As for the Trinity, Izuku blankly watches the scene while Ochako and Kirishima bury their head on the table, muffled groans can be heard from them. The reason behind their actions is due to they still remember the moment they were tutored by Izuku and Igris, more specifically Igris.

They can still remember the violent lessons Igris put them through as he taught them. The rage in his voice, the yelling, the 'abuses', the 'emotional damage' he's given. They experience them painfully every single day during his lessons in any academic subject, but the worst one has to be English. Back then, they didn't know a single English word, but his verbal abuses were so brutal they didn't need to understand to even feel the pain. And when they finally learn them, the pain returns tenfold.

Right now, they're trying to handle the 'emotional trauma' Igris has to deal with triggered by Present Mic mentioning English in a very loud voice. When they hear it, the image of Igris screaming for them to learn English flashes into their minds like paparazzi taking pictures of famous people. It was safe to say both of them were not all right and Izuku used every fiber of his being to subtly keep their souls out of their bodies.

'I've learned this shit for so long! This is not only boring but pointless!' And of course, Bakugou was one of the bored students who didn't pay attention.

'I can feel the flow of energy again from them, but this time it was much weaker.' Todoroki thought, silently staring at them. 'I wonder….how did they get it?'

Because he lacks social skills, he doesn't even consider that asking them directly is a choice.

Cafeteria

"Holy shit, this is so good!"

Izuku can't help but snort at Ochako's casual curses while complimenting how good the food is. Given that the one who cooks the food is Lunch Rush, the Cook Hero, Izuku didn't find it weird. It didn't help that Eijirou gulped his food violently, letting his animal instinct take over.

As Izuku eats his food, he can't help but eavesdrop on his surroundings, catching any possible news regarding what happens in school. He hears Tokoyami and that black-skinned (No, his skin is pitch black) and white-haired boy fight again at the distance, arguing about who's going to have 'an audience with the Dark Lord'. He immediately shuts it away and focuses on the others.

He hears maniacal laughter followed up with words he can't comprehend due to how the person refuses to stop laughing. The only words he caught are 'beating Class 1-A' and 'be the superior class' or whatever it is. He winces when he hears a loud chop and he can hear a sound reminiscent of a bone cracking.

He focuses on something else and hears a loud growl from the distance. He at first assumes it is typical Bakugou before noticing that it is more low pitch than Bakugou usually does. He subtly looks at the source of the voice and sees the same purple-haired boy silently glare at them, the hero course students. Judging from his attitude, he didn't make it and he was bitter about it. He can't help but sigh as his help wasn't to get him into Hero Course, but given how much of a wet noodle he is, it wasn't that surprising.

…..okay, maybe he sounds a bit like a hypocrite, but glaring and hating at people won't do jackshit!

He also notices students cheering while arm-wrestlings, some simply gossiping about rumors and relationships, some simply chilling and eating silently while enjoying each other's company, and some still in line at the counter to get their lunches (He still can't believe it's free!). Izuku notes how lively the place is, somewhat happy with the atmosphere.

"Excuse me, may I sit here?" Izuku looks to see a familiar black-haired girl holding her tray along with Iida and a girl with a frog mutation behind her. "I have tried to look for seats but it seems that everyone has occupied them."

"I don't mind at all. What about you guys?" Izuku asks. He knows what his friends would say, but he still asks out of habit.

"Izu, you know us long enough to know that we don't mind at all," Ochako says in amusement as Izuku scratches his cheeks sheepishly.

"W-well, old habit dies hard," Izuku replies meekly as Ochako snorts in amusement. The three students all blink owlishly, not expecting such interaction.

"Well, I don't mind. Besides, it ain't manly not letting you guys sit when we have empty seats." Eijirou says while licking all the stains off his mouth.

"M-Mind your manners while you eat! You could cause much mess!" Iida chastises Eijirou as he and everyone sit next to them.

"Don't bother. If he got a taste of high-quality meat, he will devour them like a wild animal." Izuku replies. "You can say that it's like his quirk's side effect."

"Speaking of quirk, may I ask what exactly your quirk is? You have shown powerful strengths, speed, agility, stamina, etc. But, it seems that it was more than that, isn't it?" The black-haired girl asks as Izuku looks at her before giving her an amused grin.

"Well, you hit right on the nail, um…" Izuku trails off. "I'm sorry, but what is your and the other's name? We didn't introduce ourselves properly because of the test yesterday. I know all the names, but do not know which is who?"

"Oh, apologies." The girl says, a bit abashed as Ochako mutters 'a rich girl?' quietly. "My name is Momo Yaoyorozu, I'm truly sorry for my late introduction."

"My name is Tenya Iida from the Soumei Junior High School. It's a pleasure to meet you three." Iida says politely.

"My name is Tsuyu Asui, but you can just call me Tsu." The frog girl, Tsuyu introduces herself.

"Well, my name is Izuku Midoriya, this is Eijirou Kirishima," Izuku gestured at Eijirou. "And this is Ochako Uraraka." Izuku then gestures at Ochako. "As for your question, how about we make it a bit more interesting? I want you to try and guess it."

"…..I would like to say your quirk is body enhancement based on your performance yesterday, but from your tone, I can't help but notice that you have something else to hide. As if you haven't shown your entire skill." Momo deduces as Izuku looks a bit surprised before grinning.

"Well, you got that right," Izuku says, making Iida and Tsuyu look surprised. "Sadly, my 'other skill' was a bit useless in that test, given that they give me advantages on fights, not that kind of test."

"If that's true, then emitter? An energy-based type?" Yaoyorozu deduced as Izuku simply smiled in amusement.

"Good guess, but try again," Izuku says in a teasing tone as Momo shows a glint of determination, taking his words as a challenge. Iida and Tsuyu watch the scene, unsure how to react.

"Izu is having too much fun with this," Ochako says exasperatedly, before smiling in amusement.

"Oh, yeah he is. And we only have ourselves to blame for this." Eijirou retorts with an amused smirk. "We corrupt him for the worse."

"I think that's thanks to you teasing us endlessly." Ochako deadpans as Eijirou widens his eyes in realization.

"Oh, fuck…." Eijirou mutters in faux horror. Iida and Tsuyu look at each other.

"I think we're been ignored, kero." Tsuyu bluntly points out. "But, then again, we didn't try to start any conversation at all." Tsuyu looks at Ochako. "So, Uraraka-chan, I can't help but wonder, are you in a relationship with Midoriya-kun?"

"Um, yeah," Uraraka admits as she looks a bit nervous. "We make it official after our first date, it happens after we get our entrance exam results."

"Huh," Tsuyu mused. "I thought you guys dated for a while now with how you guys act during the entrance exam. It was like a pair of old married couples."

"W-we know each other for several months before the U.A. entrance exam and the three of us have been hanging out with each other ever since!" Ochako says as a blush appears on her face.

"That is nice, but I hope you won't let your relationship distract you with school stuff." Iida points out as Ochako rolls her eyes.

"Don't worry too much about it. Izu has been tutoring me for quite a while now." Ochako says before sipping her water.

"….kero, I'm jealous." Tsuyu bluntly says as Ochako sputters in disbelief, spilling the water out of her mouth before looking at Tsuyu with a 'What!?' expression.

"…..you did that on purpose, didn't you?" Eijirou asks and he is unsure if Tsuyu's 'kero' is either a confirmation or denial.

Back to Class 1-A

After the short break, the entire Class 1-A went back to the class and they were all traumatized by one particular lesson, maths. Ectoplasm teaches the class and it's safe to say that everyone feels their soul leaving their body out of despair. The only ones who survived the complete onslaught were Momo, Iida, Izuku, Shoto, and Bakugou.

Once the entire lesson is over, everyone lets out a sigh of relief over the fact they have survived through such horrifying thoughts, some muttering 'Why does math have more letters!? It's math!!' under his breath. Izuku can't help but wince, especially when he sees Ectoplasm slumps a bit when he watches through the window. The teacher did notice everything and held himself together for the sake of his responsibility over the student's education. All Izuku can do is silently offer his sympathy to his teacher.

"I wonder who's going to be our teacher for heroic foundation." Kaminari mindlessly ponders, as his words immediately revitalize everyone and make them all cheer. Izuku saw Ectoplasm slump further and wince again, it was clear that he heard everything. Then, Izuku hears loud footsteps followed by a familiar laugh, and from everyone's reaction, everyone seems to hear the laugh as well.

"AHAHAHA! I am here, coming through the door like a normal person!" He in fact didn't come through the door like a normal person. Who in the sane mind thinks leaning on the door with both hands hanging on the sides and exposing his front body is how a normal person enters? But, apparently, everyone seemingly ignores the fact and cheers for his appearance, hyped by the fact that All Might of all heroes teaches the heroic class and believes it will be an amazing experience.

This only makes Izuku feel bad for Ectoplasm even more. Poor hero was unappreciated by everyone. He didn't even notice how he didn't feel bad for Present Mic despite being he was treated in the same way by everyone, but worse.

Izuku notices that the hero currently wears a completely different uniform than the one he usually wears. He wears a skintight red and white long-sleeved shirt and a pair of blue and white skintight pants, with a large dark blue cape on his back, yellow armbands, a yellow belt, and a pair of yellow boots. Izuku recognizes the attire as All Might's silver-age costume.

"Haha, it seems that you all are excited! Well, you shall be as today we will start our first Hero Foundation Lesson 101!" All Might exclaims as everyone cheers. "And today, we shall start with equipment checks. As a hero, preparing for everything is essential, and equipment is one essential key to preparing for any worst-case scenarios! Now then," All Might pulled out a remote (Izuku wondered how he that given the costume didn't seem to have a visible pocket) and pressed the button.

"Here are the hero costumes you all ask based on the requests you made before the first day!" All Might states as everyone lit up. "Changes into your costumes and meet me in the training ground Beta! We will not only check your equipment by simple observations, as test runs will be required as well! Now, take the cases based on the name displayed next to it and go to the changing room! Let us not waste any time!"

In an instant, everyone excitedly grabs their case and rushes into the changing room. Izuku looks at Ochako and Eijirou before the trio smiles in excitement and rushes into the changing room, joining their classmates.

Meanwhile

Class 3-A

Amajiki was completely deep in thought, his mind unable to stop thinking about what Izuku said earlier. Izuku says that the new U.A. Staff knows what happened to Mirio and his sudden obsession with getting stronger, but he can't stop thinking of how it makes sense. He then pauses before checking his new curriculum that has been provided a few weeks before the new school year starts.

Before he could properly check once more, the door was slid open and revealed to be Gang Orca. His attire changes as he wears a white buttoned-up shirt with a gray vest and red tie, gray suit pants, and a gray suit coat around his shoulder acting like a cape. He also dons a pair of glasses to match his attire, looking like a cool university teacher.

And it seems that everyone loves it as the majority of girls and even some guys say 'god damn, he looks hot' or something like that, to which Amajiki silently agrees.

"Greetings class, my name is Kugo Sakamata, or you all know me by my hero name, Gang Orca." Gang Orca introduces himself. "I am U.A.'s new staff and in this lesson, I will teach you something that has been hidden from everyone by the HPSC. A secret that has been hidden in these last decades. But, before that, let me ask you one particular question." Gang Orca takes off his glasses and looks straight right at everyone.

"What is your opinion regarding magic?"
