uchiha-rune: Haha. It's more of a cult than a religion, and I…still hesitate to consider it as one given that there are only two people in it. And yes, building more bonds of friendships. Izuku deserves as many friends as possible.

Daemon of Wrath: Of course, Izuku will be embarrassed, look how the two edge lords act to 'seek for an audience with him'. Mirio's preparation for Monarch's invasion has been established since Interlude 9, being warned by the Ruler before he becomes their host. Currently, Shoto's been using ice imbued by mana, and it was so subtle that none of them noticed yet. Izuku would have detected it earlier if not for him being too busy having fun with his friends in the quirk apprehension test. And yes, Endeavor ends up crippled for life. As for the cafeteria scene, I'm glad that you like how Izuku gets more friends. Regarding your question regarding Shinso, he is still jealous because he doesn't know the empty seat on the hero course. It didn't help that Mineta's absence was unknown by the rest of the U.A. students, and RG was too busy healing him that she was unable to tell anyone about it. And for USJ, it's a massacre. For Hero Training, you just have to read this chapter. Gang Orca isn't just a 3rd-year teacher, he's going to teach all three years for the current semester, making sure everyone will be aware of the world of magic so if there's a chance anyone randomly got awakened, they won't be any panic and it also helps for Mirio revealing his newly-gained magic. Your Antares idea is a great one, a perfect way to show how much of a threat Antares is compared to other Monarchs. Monoma's inferiority complex makes him an insensitive bitch, as it was clearly shown how he reacts when class 1-A got the spotlight, missing the point of how they got attacked by villains and could've died, so he will rant about it. You'll see Trinity's hero outfit in this chapter. For your question, 13 plus Ruler equals everything sucked into the black hole…..yeah, no, sorry. For Baka-gou becoming Baka-ran's host, he will toss away the equipment, believing it is useless for him, and for the weapons, Izuku will simply give it to Igris, adding salt to lethal injuries.

AnimeFan13579: Oh, that will be a massive embarrassment for the couple and Mina will do everything to tease them about it. Pre-Sport Festival Todoroki does have an ego, so beating Endeavor does make his ego more inflated. And yes, he has no idea how magic works, simply sees it as a 'permanent quirk boost'. And you are right, physical quirk does fare better against magic. As for the changes, you need to understand that All Might has mentioned he got his teaching license by studying hard at Interlude 11, so he isn't an inexperienced new teacher like in Canon. And you're right for the other reason why I made the changes, with one of them being Baka-gou's support gear itself. For Gang Orca, no, it's not strictly for the third year as three of his interns are in the first year, and given how much of a trouble magnet they are, he can't leave the first years in the dark for 2 more years. For USJ, you just have to wait and see.

hdzalex084: …..huh?

Whitemare: The fight is inevitable, and don't worry, Shoto will be saved. How? Just wait and see. Wolfram will remain in the I-Island arc and the dungeons involved in that arc will not be the ice elves, and his fate is inevitable. For Melissa, lower than that but still higher than Izuku during the canon internship arc. I-Island happens after the final exam and before the summer camp just like in canon. For Izuku's hero costume, you'll see in this chapter and the pun…..*facepalm* just…why? For Antares, I decided to not let him have a host, to show how much of a threat he is.

Guest:…..don't turn Gang Orca a Disney Princess' animal mascot, please?

U.A Support Labs

Melissa can be seen wiping off her sweat as she looks at the devices she's creating, taking a bite off her granola bar. She has been very, very busy with her current project, to the point that she forgot how much time was spent. Ever since she got transferred from I-Academy to U.A., she has been planning everything on how she will get herself into Hero Course to finally chase after the dream she has desired so much since she was a child.

She can't help but chuckle humorlessly at how foolish she was, giving up so easily and choosing an easy way out. She decided that there would no longer be an easy way out. As she builds, she remembers every word Izuku has told her, and the fire inside her has burned brightly ever since.

'Thank you, Izuku,' Melissa says, her blue eyes lit up a bit. 'You are right, I am not All Might. I'll be my hero, using my knowledge and strength,'

She puts away her tools as she looks at the unfinished gauntlet before looking at the blueprints she draws. It looks like a rough sketch of mechanical armor for her. This blueprint was first meant as a support item for some heroes who require the raw power to beat villains out of their league, but Melissa decided to modify it to not only help with the quirk she got from All Might but also to help her increase her combat proficiency. She looks at the blueprint before clutching her fist and placing it right on her chest. She still remembers how All Might entrusts the power of the past to her, which has become her quirk.

Her quirk, it's such a bizarre thing, but here she is now. She decides to continue with her project.

'Uncle Might…Izuku…just watch. I'll exceed both of your expectations!'

Meanwhile

Training Ground Beta

"My, my! Look at all of you!!" All Might exclaims, a slight strain visible on his smile. "You all look ready to roll out!"

As All Might says this, the entire class walks towards him with their respective Hero Costume. Each is unique on its own, but some were simply a complete fashion disaster.

As for Izuku, he dons a dark green form-fitting shirt with a hooded vest, a pauldron on his left shoulder, a pair of sleeveless black gloves, and a pair of grey trousers with a pair of combat boots. There are visible rune stitches on some sections of his outfits, most notably on both sides of his sleeves and his gloves.

For Ochako, she wears a white dress shirt with a dark pink trench coat with fantasy elements like sun pendants, a pair of grey shorts, a pair of brown combat boots, a pair of black fingerless gloves, and a witch's hat, with golden crescent moon pendant and an eight-point stars embedded on it. Like Izuku, visible runes are stitched on her outfits.

And lastly, for the last member of Trinity, Eijirou wears a sleeveless gray hoodie with a zipper, a red bandanna, a pair of black shorts, a pair of black sandals resembling the ones worn by ninjas in Naruto, and a pair of fingerless gauntlet. A blade is attached to his tail. Like Izuku and Ochako, runes were stitches on his outfits, except for the gauntlet which the runes were carved on it.

"Oh, wow!" The Trinity turns to see Mina staring at them with starry eyes. "You guys look cool! You guys look like an adventurer's party from a fantasy story but with a modern touch of it! And what's with those runes? Not that it makes the outfit look weird, but I'm curious why did you add those?"

"For aesthetic, Ashido-san," Izuku says with a grin as Mina pouts.

"I know you guys are lying, but I bet you guys won't tell me no matter what." Seeing Izuku's amused grin, Mina confirms her suspicions. "Fine, keep your secret, will ya?" With that, she walks away with a huff.

"Even if I tell her what's it for, she will not believe me," Izuku mutters while chuckling silently.

"True, I mean, Merissa's the proof of it." Ochako points out.

"It's Melissa, Ochako." Eijirou corrects her.

"Details," Ochako waves it off.

"Guys, please, let All Might talk," Izuku says, which not only stops both of them but also gains everyone's attention. They all turn around and surely enough, All Might try but fail to gain their attention.

"T-thank you, Midoriya." Izuku gives him a thumbs up. "Anyways, like I previously stated, for today's lesson, we shall start with equipment checks! And for this lesson, I have brought a special guest to assist me. Please give a warm welcome to my close friend."

"You sure know how to make an introduction, didn't you, All Might?" A man chuckles behind All Might's massive figure before revealing himself to everyone. Izuku's eyes widened in recognition as he saw the man.

"You're David Shield!" Izuku exclaims in excitement. "You're once All Might's sidekick who becomes the greatest inventor hail in I-Island! You create All Might's costumes and various other support gears, and even got the Nobel Quirk Prize!"

"Haha! It seems that I have a fan here. And he does a brief introduction better than the one I have planned." David says as Izuku can't help but flustered and apologizes. "I was joking, kid. Calm down. As this young man…"

"Izuku Midoriya, sir." Izuku introduces himself.

"-Midoriya says, I am David Shield. All Might has requested me to help him with the equipment check." David explains as everyone seems excited. "I had to be honest when All Might asked me to meet him and stay in Japan for a quite amount of time, I wasn't expecting him to invite me to U.A. Nor did I expect him to teach at all."

"Life can be surprising, David." All Might says sagely.

"Indeed, I still remember how you failed your math test back when we were in the States." David teases as All Might looks flustered.

"D-don't tease me about it! I still remember you failed the history lesson despite being the 'proud citizens of the States!'" All Might exclaims.

"Oh, so that's how you play, huh?" David says as they both glare at each other before snorting and bursting into laughter. "Haha, I truly miss this."

"Indeed…" All Might says with a warm smile before looking at the students. "Apologies, I suppose that we may have been too distracted."

"Oh, don't be, sir," Momo says while waving her hands. "It's…. nice to watch you guys interact. No offense to U.A.'s staff, but this type of fresh air is what we need after what happened yesterday and the earlier lessons."

"…..what happen?" All Might asks out of concern. David's face also shows a concerned look.

"Everything!" Mina exclaims wildly. "On our first day, we got threatened to get expelled by our homeroom teacher!"

"I'm not trying to be rude, but the way the U.A.'s staff taught us was like listening to a middle-school teacher teaching us, so seeing these interactions made us feel…..more excited," Tsuyu says with a nod.

"Ah, perhaps it was due to cultural differences," David says with a nod.

"I….admit, I prefer the State's way to teach than Japan." All Might says as he leans closer to David. "They're too stiff," He says loud enough for everyone to hear, causing everyone to snort.

"All right, enough conversations," David says as he claps his hands. "Now, let us check your equipment to make sure you guys are well-equipped." David trails off before looking at Tooru and Momo. David did a double take before he pressed a button on his glasses and looked at Tooru before turning it off in less than a second, pinching the bridge of his nose. "….young ladies, pardon me, but what are you two wearing?"

"Um….our hero costume?" Momo says nervously.

"… Apologies, but first of all, is this your choice of outfits or is it modified by the support department?" David asks.

"W-well, I did ask for more exposed skin for my quirk to work. My quirk is Creation, it allows me to convert my lipids into anything as long as I know the molecular structure." Momo says as she demonstrates it by creating a matryoshka doll. "But, to do so, I need for my skin to be exposed, and using my quirk with my clothes off will tear them off."

"….ladies, there are things we call zippers," David deadpanned as Momo blushed. "And before that, can you use your quirk through your hair?" Momo tilts her head before she tries again and sure enough, it does.

"Well, that means a DNA-coded fabric will work for you," David says before looking at Tooru. "And that goes for you, young lady. Seriously, who approved you walking around naked!?" This immediately made everyone nearby blush and avert away from Tooru.

"W-well, I did ask for it…" Tooru mutters, twiddling her thumb. "I…don't know such things existed."

"And given that they didn't recommend it for you, I say those idiots deserve to be banned from the Support Department!" David exclaims.

"What were they thinking? She's just 15…" All Might mutters before rubbing his temple.

"Oh, before we continue, I suggest maybe HUD goggles for you, young lady. I doubt having a thick dictionary on the back of your waist is very uncomfortable. And maybe switch your heels with boots." David suggests as Momo nods, grateful for his suggestions.

And the equipment checks continued; Kaminari and Jirou were suggested to add some armor to their clothes for protection with Kaminari given metal weapons to conduct electricity and much better ways to defend himself so he wouldn't rely on an all-or-nothing attack. As for Jirou, David told her to switch her speaker to her hands for easier ways to attack.

Koda and Shoji were also suggested to apply some armor, with Koda suggesting a voice amplifier with a blunt weapon for extra protection. Shoji was suggested with a gas mask for better protection and a pair of visors while suggesting that he shouldn't neglect the pair of eyes on his head, giving him an extra layer of protection and a HUD.

As for Ojiro, he was told to get extra protection, while suggested to add a pair of knuckledusters or gauntlet, a pair of heavy metal boots, and reinforce his tail for extra damage. For Tokoyami, a flashlight in case of Dark Shadow rampaging and maybe weapons if Dark Shadow was unable to protect him.

Of course, he wasn't free from being told to add armor for extra layers of protection.

"…" David pinches the bridge of his nose. "Okay, to not make me repeat myself, I suggest that those who don't have any ways to protect themselves, add armor on their clothes, my suggestion is on your vital area." Everyone could only nod. "All right, let us continue."

For Mina, she has suggested a pair of gloves with a built-in hose to help her spray acid further or wider. She has also suggested canisters that could store her acids and be used as grenades. For Aoyama, he was told to wear less exaggerated armor while also suggesting for removable cape, hoping to not repeat the mistakes of some heroes who died by their own capes.

For Sato, he was told to put the sugars into capsules for easier uses and to prevent getting crawled by ants. Everyone can't help but shiver imagining ants crawling into Sato with the skintight outfit. It was an utter nightmare. For Sero, he was suggested to have a knife or scissors in case he got himself stuck by his tape. Sero can't help but ask what are the chances in a joking manner but David and All Might simply give him a blank stare, making Sero realize it's a common occurrence before agreeing.

For Shoto, besides armors, he was suggested to add a heat regulator to prevent himself from getting hypothermia. Shoto curtly nods, but inside, he silently scoffs at the suggestion of a heat regulator. Ever since he got his fire removed by Sillad, he has never experienced the constant backlashes of his ice quirk. For Tsuyu, besides an extra layer of protection, there's nothing else that needs to be added.

For Iida, he was suggested to lessen the bulk of his armor and replace it with a lightweight metal alloy that's not only durable but also aerodynamic. He was also told to add a regulator on his legs in case it was overheated. As for Bakugou,

"…." David blankly stares at the oversized gauntlet before tossing them to All Might, much to everyone's surprise. All Might didn't say a word and casually destroyed the gauntlet.

"Huh!?!? What's with the big fucking idea of destroying my support gears!!!" Bakugou exclaims in shock and anger.

"The reason is that your gear was too dangerous. Storing that much nitroglycerin in a tank is asking to be explored in time. If someone accidentally detonates them while it's on your hands, then you'll lose your life. You don't want that, do you?" David asks, staring at him with narrowed eyes.

"Just because you're All Might's 'sidekick' doesn't mean you can do whatever the fuck you want!" Bakugou snarls.

"I can do anything necessary to reduce the risk of anyone using the support gear, it is stated by the law to anyone who has the Support Inventor License," David states calmly, not bothered by Bakugou's glare. He has years of experience dealing with customers like him and villains with worse temper and personality, after all.

"And besides, I don't trust you handling such a dangerous weapon, given your records." Bakugou was completely taken aback by his words, not expecting him to know what was going on in Japan. And it seems everyone seems to hear it as they all nod in agreement. David finally looks at the Trinity before raising his eyebrows.

"It seems that you three also fall into the same problem, the lack of armor," David says as Izuku can't help but chuckle before he holds his hand and pulls before a gauntlet decloaks itself, revealing everyone as they widen their eyes.

"Well, I can't exactly wear armor on top of armor, can't I?" Izuku says as he waves the gauntlet before tapping his chest, making a 'clank' sound.

"Interesting…" David muses before looking at Eijirou.

"W-well, my quirk isn't exactly clothes or armor friendly. My clothes were custom-made just to keep my modesty." Eijirou says sheepishly. "We tried everything, and my quirk just tore it down."

"As for me, I have my ways to protect myself," Ochako states as Izuku demonstrates it by trying to stab her with a knife, making everyone panic. But, the pendant glows and creates a small glowing barrier to protect her. She grins at everyone as they all gape in disbelief.

"…..interesting…" David muses, trying to hide his disbelief.

"Well, then," All Might calls everyone. "For the next lesson, we're going to do a test run to see what other things need to improve."

"What kind of test run, sir?" Jirou asks.

"One-on-one combat!" Everyone seems to be in disbelief at his suggestions. "Hear me out, it may sound bad, but this will give you insights to not only find the flaws of your gears that are unnoticeable by a simple glance, but it also helps to give you all insights on what could be improved in your battle skills. And now we're in an open field, we could do it safely."

"But, sir? Is there no other way?" Momo asks.

"Well, the other way is to ask you guys to take your clothes off and test them through any possible trial that could cause damages to your clothes, or you'll be the one standing there and let yourself get hit." All Might says as everyone immediately shakes their head. "And besides, I doubt any of you wants to do such boring things." With that, everyone shamelessly agrees with his words, with Bakugou and Todoroki seeming excited at the idea. Todoroki hides it with an indifferent look while Bakugou lets out a feral grin before pulling up his hand.

"I challenge Deku to a fight!" Bakugou exclaims before pointing at Izuku, who raises his eyebrow.

"Now, now, Bakugou. We haven't chosen who's against who," All Might says as Bakugou growls. But, before he could say a thing, Izuku raised his hand.

"Will you agree if the other party agrees to accept the challenge?" Izuku asks as All Might hesitates a bit before looking at Izuku's eyes, before nodding.

"Because today is the first class, I will agree just this once, and I want to end whatever feud you two had here. We don't want this to happen again in the next class." Izuku nods as Bakugou happily grins. Everyone immediately gets away from them, giving them a space to fight.

"I'll enjoy crushing you, Deku," Bakugou snarls as he lets out an explosion from his palm. "You're lucky I don't have my support gears, or else you're doomed!"

"I only agree because I want this feud to end, once and for all," Izuku says as Bakugou growls. All Might raise his arm while looking at both sides before pulling down his arms.

"Begin!" In an instant, Bakugou immediately charges Izuku by using explosions to propel himself. As he gets closer, he lets out a powerful explosion right on Izuku's face point-blank.

BOOM!!!

Everyone shouts in panic as they don't expect Bakugou to be so brutal, exploding someone's head without caring if he could kill them. Meanwhile, Ochako summons a bucket of popcorn and offers it to Eijirou, munching nonchalantly. David is about to stop the fight but All Might stops him and shakes his head.

"All Might, the match's over! No one could've survived such an attack!" All Might raise his hand before pointing back at the battlefield. David looks confused before looking back at the battlefield.

To everyone's disbelief, a hand appears out of the smoke and grabs Bakugou right on his face. Bakugou, in panic, grabs the hand and tries to claw it in desperation, unable to escape. He even goes so far as to explode the hand but to his shock and horror, it does nothing.

As the smoke clears, Izuku can be seen completely unharmed, his clothes are untouched and a silhouette of a knight's helmet can be seen around his head before it disappears into thin air. Everyone's jaws dropped as they watched the scene while Ochako and Eijirou almost choked for wheezing too hard by their expressions.

"H-how!?! How are you unharmed!!?!" Bakugou roars as he continues clawing Izuku's hand, desperately trying to get him off his face. "Y-you're just a pebble! A fucking pebble on a fucking street! How?! How?!?!"

"I don't owe you any answers," Izuku says coldly before he tightens his grip on Bakugou's head, causing him to yell in pain. But, immediately, it was cut off by Izuku slamming his back so hard that he choked, concrete debris flying out of the street as Bakugou bounced upward. But, before he could fall again, Izuku slammed his fist onto Bakugou's guts, causing him to cough out his spits before he got launched into the wall of the building like a rocket, dust clouds covered the entire area as everyone stared at the scene in disbelief.

As the dust clears up, Bakugou can be seen slumping down on the ground, completely unconscious. His body is covered in dust and bruises are visible on his face resembling Izuku's handprint. Izuku stares at the unconscious boy before letting out a sigh and turns around, only to see a disbelief and gaping audience, except for Ochako and Eijirou munching their popcorn.

"Hey, izu, you didn't do it fast enough!" Ochako points out as Izuku gives her a deadpan look while mouthing a 'really' to her. She merely shrugs while giving him a sheepish expression.

Tokoyami and Dark Shadow saw the scene and couldn't help but be in awe. Once again, the Dark Lord has shown his supremacy to his opponent. That brat was so arrogant towards his lord earlier, not noticing how much he was beneath the almighty darkness himself. It was obvious when the Dark Lord didn't bother to use his true powers at him, and he was convinced that he merely used some of his mortal strength just to prove the point to that arrogant brat.

Shoto merely watches the scene in bemusement, completely expecting such results. He may want to beat Izuku and the rest of the Trinity, but he wasn't stupid enough to not acknowledge his opponent's strength. With raw powers alone, Izuku easily overpowered Bakugou and the battle was the proof of it.

"Umm…" Everyone snaps out of their attention before looking at Izuku, who seems nervous. "I….may need to bring him to the infirmary…" After saying that, a pair of robots carrying a stretcher arrives and picks Bakugou up before moving away. "….nevermind…"

To be continued
