A shorter one, but it just didn´t want to come. It fought me like with teeth and nails, like an angry Mightyena. It didn´t feel fluid like my previous ones, but I did my best. Thanks for the follows and the favorites, glad that people are enjoying this story. Updates have no shedule, sorry. Currently working on the next chapter for The Pirate Trainer and heads up, a new story will be uploaded soon. My muse is a cruel mistress.

"Why is Midoriya covering her face?"

"I wonder what happened back there. One second they were celebrating, and the next Midoriya started to freak out."

"Sensei, do you know what is happening?"

All Might didn't answer. The number one Hero was doing all he could to contain his anger and maintain his trademark smile in place. He grabbed his new phone and marked a number.

"Aizawa hello there. It´s All Might. Eh? You know? Oh, right, Nezu-san gave you this number. Anyway, we have a Code-R-rated situation. Yes. Hagakure-shoujo. Someone from the Hero Costume Department. Yes, Nezu-san would probably enjoy taking care of this conversation."

That being taken care of, he opened his communicator so that both teams could hear him.

"Ok, both teams return to the viewing room! We still have more matches to do!" One switch, and he spoke only to Young Midoriya and Hagakure.

"Midoriya-shoujo, I understand that you are, well, embarrassed, but we still have to continue with the class. Hagakure-shoujo, before joining us, please put on your gym uniform."

When they reunited, Midoriya´s Pokemon surrounded Shoji immediately. Hawlucha and Hakamo-o puffed out their chests while Tyrogue mimicked shadow boxing. Shoji looked at Midoriya in confusion. The trainer smiled at her team´s behavior.

"They want to fight against you, Shoji-kun. I think you impressed them."

"I see. I don't have any problem with that, but maybe on another date?" "Of course, Shoji-kun! Tyrogue, you can watch, but you´re still not fighting real opponents."

Tyrogue deflated at her order. Machoke rubbed the younger Pokemon's head. He still remembered how overprotective Izumi had been when he was a baby. She had been so afraid of accidentally hurting him that she spent weeks researching all she could on Machop raising and similar topics. Even after passing the three-month mark, she was still hesitant about letting him train, so Infernape chose to give him some older brotherly advice:

"When Izumi gets too stubborn or too focused on her thoughts, then the best way to wake her up is a good smack! And the best way to prove to her that you´re ready for training is to do it!"

And so the next morning, Machoke, then a young Machop, approached his trainer, his motherly figure, and punched her in the stomach. As she was recovering, he went into a fighting stance, just like he had seen Infernape and Lucario do. When Izumi saw that he was serious and that the others backed him, she sighed and smiled. After that, he began to train with the rest of his family.

Izumi smiled at her Pokemon. She knew very well that Tyrogue was impatient about battling. It wasn't that she didn't want him to do it. It was more like she had no good partner for him to start practicing. Most of her Pokemon were older or fully evolved; she herself was stronger than she had been when Machop had been born. With Machop, she had been his sparring partner until he evolved, and he had battled Pokemon of his own level. As soon as he evolved, he began to train against his older siblings.

"Great job, both teams! Midoriya-shoujo, Hagakure-shoujo great teamwork. And Machoke too! Todoroki-shonen, great show of control over your quirk. However, remember to make multiple plans next time. Many times, heroes had to face villains whose quirks were their perfect match. That's why it's important to not be overconfident!"

"Yes, sensei!"

"Hagakure-shoujo, after classes, Aizawa-sensei will take you to the Support Department. There, they will develop a real suit for you."

"Eh? A real suit? But when I sent my costume drawings, they told me that it would be extremely expensive and difficult to develop. And that a normal costume would be useless, so it would be best to just use gloves and boots."

All Might really had to work hard to not show his rage in front of his students.

"Hagakure-shoujo, I can assure you that UA has more than enough money to cover its students' necessities. The person who told you is someone who can't be trusted and will be dealt with."

All Might gave a long sigh. He definitely wasn't the right person for this type of talk. Midnight was supposed to give them the talk. And it wasn't supposed to happen until at least their second year!

Mental point to himself: talk with Nezu and Midnight about giving the First Years an early talk about proper costumes and at least the no means no talk. Considering the leering look that Mineta-shonen gave to Yaoyorozu-shoujo, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

"Very well! Let's continue! Any more thoughts on the last match?!"

The rest of the class seemed to pass quickly. The students acted like a fire had been lit inside of them. They wanted to show All Might that they, too, had what was necessary to be great heroes.

During the third match, Yaoyorozu reinforced the door and windows, showing the diversity of objects she could create with her quirk, and had Mineta use his sticky balls to help. Jirou and Kaminari tried to find a way to overcome her defenses; at the end, Kaminari chose to discharge all his electricity and ripped the door out of its frame. However, that left him out of commission, with Jirou having to face both Yaoyoruzu and Mineta.

The punk girl managed to defeat Mineta easily. Unlike his partner, he didn't leap away in time from her sound waves. His little body was sent flying to another walk, and he fell unconscious quickly.

For the next few minutes, they witnessed both girls' skills. Yaoyoruzu used mostly a bo staff against Jirou, keeping her at bay and away from the missile. Jirou would skip away from her range and counterattack with her sound blasts. Yaoyoruzu panicked at first, but quickly formed earplugs and a small shield to protect herself. After that, she formed a blunted foil and pointed it at Jirou.

Before the fight could get more interesting, Kaminari's confused body face slammed into the missile.

Nobody knew how to react. Jirou and Yaoyorozu just glanced at each other and at Kaminari, disbelieving. Both had completely forgotten about the blonde after he had fried his brain with his quirk.

Even the Pokemon were baffled at what they knew was simply a lucky win.

A silent agreement about not discussing it was made by everybody in the room. They just praised both teams' strategies, mostly Team C, and their adaptability. All Might also cautioned about using moves that could harm the user. After all, a hero who was incapacitated was another civilian that had to be protected. Moves that could severely harm a hero, even potentially kill them, were frowned upon and to be used only in the most extreme circumstances.

The fourth match began with Asui using her tongue to throw Tokoyami as high as she could and him using Dark Shadow to destroy the windows and enter the building. Asui followed him with a giant leap. As soon as they were inside, they began to run straight for the top.

When they reached the missile room, Tokoyami found himself bound by Sero's tape, while Kirishima ran straight for Asui. The frog girl managed to jump away from the red head and aim for the missile. However, Sero used his other arm to trap her leg with his tape and slam her to the ground.

Before Kirishima or Sero could use the restraining rope, Dark Shadow attacked Kirishima, keeping him busy, while Asui hit Sero with her tongue. Then she pulled hard with her leg and launched him forward, a spinning kick meeting his face and knocking him away.

Kirishima kept his arms up, protecting him from Dark Shadow´s strikes. He slowly walked towards Tokoyami, withstanding the sentient quirk attacks. Despite their strength, Kirishima Hardening was able to handle them easily, even if he was unable to hit the quirk.

Sero kept chasing after Asui. The frog girl was both agile and fast, so Sero focused on leading her away from the missile.

Asui made a motion to Tokoyami, who nodded. The frog girl jumped away from her opponent and instead used her tongue to wrap around the redhead. Kirishima was startled by the move, and more so when she threw him at Sero. The other boy barely managed to jump away, so he was unable to stop Dark Shadow from touching the missile.

Despite losing, neither Kirishima nor Sero lost their grins. In fact, the redhead was praising his opponents, calling them so manly for their skills and teamwork, with his partner agreeing besides him.

Asui and Tokoyami had taken inspiration from the first two matches. First entering the building from the highest window they could reach and then remaining together and not splitting up, even if the enemy was alone. The hallways were large enough to allow them enough mobility, especially since Tokoyami used Dark Shadow and barely moved himself, and Asui was both agile and flexible.

They were lucky that both Sero and Kirishima chose to stay in the missile room, giving them more room to move. While they were preparing, they remembered everything they could about both boys.

Kirishima was strong; there was no doubt about that, and Sero had shown his speed using his tapes. Tokoyami had been sure that Dark Shadow could distract Kirishima long enough for Asui to handle Sero. Even though Asui had powerful legs because of her frog quirk, she wasn't built to handle the redhead's strength. Sero, however, didn't have superhuman strength or the ability to withstand extremely strong kicks.

Sero and Kirishima, on the other hand, had planned on waiting until both mutants arrived and wrapping them with Sero's tape. That part worked. What they didn't count on was Dark Shadow showing up so quickly and keeping the redhead busy, or Asui using her tongue as a weapon.

The final match between teams E and F had everybody win a newfound respect for Koda. After all, seeing dozens of mice and rats harassing Ashido and Aoyama was both amazing and terrifying.

Aoyama grabbed Ashido and used his naval laser to get them away from the rodents. When they fell, Ashido twisted backwards, landed on her hands, and began to melt the floor. Her acid melted the concrete easily, creating a giant hole where the animals fell.

Koda's quirk allowed him to communicate with animals of all shapes and sizes, even insects and arachnids. However, they were still animals. They obeyed his commands, but if he wasn't giving specific orders, then they acted on instinct.

As soon as all the rats and mice fell through the hole, Aoyama used his naval laser to make them cross again. Both teens tried to recover the time lost dealing with Koda's little friends.

When they reached the final floor, they found Sato waiting for them, eating sugar and buffed up. He leapt at them, hands stretched to capture both, and Ashido responded with a wave of acid. It wasn't strong enough to harm him severely, but it did sting his arms, making him flinch away from them.

Aoyama released another ray after him, but Sato evaded it, so the beam impacted the steel doors, tearing them and throwing them into the room.

The three teens looked inside the room and saw poor Koda glancing at the remains of the fake missile.

All Might choose to call it a draw. He pointed out that such maneuvers were to be avoided as much as possible in the case of hostages or explosive devices. Team F had done well getting rid of the rodents without hurting them, showing that even with dangerous quirks, it was possible to reduce your enemies without causing fatal injuries.

"Ahh, what a day! Shame my match ended that way. I wanted to show my moves!" Mina grumbled at how her fight ended so quickly. She understood why, in real circumstances, Aoyama's attack would have produced an explosion big enough to destroy more than a few blocks.

"I am sure there will be more opportunities to show off, Ashido-san."

"Easy for you to say Yaomomo."

"Yaomomo?" The heiress was confused by the sudden nickname.

"Yeah! Yaoyorozu is such a mouthful! So Yaomomo! Don't you like it?"

"I do. It feels nice, Ashido-san."

"No, no, you guys can call me Mina." Yaoyorozu smiled at Mina.

The rest of the girls smiled at the little display. They continued to change out of their costumes and into their uniforms while making small chat.

Kyouka paused. She could hear voices from the boys changing room. Mineta's voice. The grape boy was talking about... oh, fucking pervert.

Kyouka walked to the wall separating both changing rooms; she looked closely and found it.

"Jirou-san?" Momo glanced at the punk girl. The other girls glanced their way. Kyouka just shushed them and showed them her discovery.

A feeling of disgust enveloped the entire room. Izumi's hands twitched at the pokeballs in her belt. Her left hand was eager to release Hakamo-o.

Kyouka took care of the problem. She lifted one of her ear jacks and jammed it in the peeping hole that connected both rooms. Mineta's painful screams were heard from the other side.

"Fucking idiot." "What a perv."

While the students were changing and chatting with each other, the teachers were holding an important meeting.

"So, a human chose to be naughty? Such a shame. I wonder why humans never learn from their mistakes. It is almost like they want to be punished. Hihihihi." Principal Nezu laughed sinisterly at the thought of causing pain to humans.

"He really enjoys this type of situation," Aizawa, All Might, and Midnight thought.

After sending Class 1A to change, All Might joined Aizawa and Midnight for a quick meeting about Hagakure's costume problem.

All Might had been the one to report the incident; Aizawa was her homeroom teacher; and Midnight was in charge of teaching the students all about PR, hero perception, and the talk.

For the first years she would only talk about costume changes and proper hero names before their internships, leaving the more heavy topics for the second and third years.

However, in this case, maybe she would have to give an introductive talk, at least to the girls, to prevent any more incidents.

"Very well, first of all. Aizawa-kun, make sure to bring Hagakure-san to Majima-san. Majima will make her costume himself if it's necessary." Nezu folded his paws and acquired a serious tone. The three teachers in front of him, two of them his former students, straightened out.

"Nemuri, prepare a small talk for all the first years and do a review of their costumes. We need to get ahead of this problem before it gets worse. I will find out who is the naughty human that misbehaved."

The three pros sweatdropped at their superior´s cheerful tone.

After leaving Nezu's office, Toshinori activated OFA and ran towards the entrance. During the meeting, he had turned to his skinny form in order to save energy. He only had enough energy for maybe half an hour. There will be no heroics for him today.

He found his target easily. The boy was walking fast, trying to leave as soon as possible. He was alone, which was good. It would be better to avoid a spectacle.

"I AM COMING TODOROKI-SHONEN!" the Number 1 stopped right in front of Endeavor's son. The boy just stared blankly at his sensei.

"Sensei, what can I do for you?" He asked respectfully.

"Hahaha, do not worry, Todoroki-shonen. I just wanted to give one last piece of advice before you leave. Something to consider"

Todoroki nodded and waited.

"A hero's life is one of unknowns and dangers. Every hero, when they are on the field, puts in their 100%, no, their 200%. Hero life is no place to hold oneself back."

Todoroki frowned.

"What are you saying, sensei?"

"I don't know why you chose to only use your ice, not only in the past two days but also on the Entrance Exam. If it's out of a sense of superiority, then it stops now. If it's for personal reasons, then all I can do is urge you to speak with someone who can help you. Hound Dog's office is open all day."

There. He gave his advice and made an offer. If Todoroki took it or not, then it was up to him. He surely hoped that the boy wasn't only using half his quirk out of arrogance. Aizawa was already considering threatening to expel him if he didn't get his act together.

"Only five students passed the Recommendation Exam. Todoroki was the one with the highest note. However, in no instance did he use his fire. At the time, I just made a note out of it, and that's it. However, during the Quirk Apprehension Test he refused to use his fire again. When he introduced himself to his classmates, he stated that he didn't use his fire." He had started the morning meeting with that.

"There are a couple of possible explanations. Number 1: he suffered some type of trauma related to fire; considering his burn marks, that option is extremely plausible. Number 2: he lacks control over his fire for some reason and is too proud to admit it. Number 3: he believes himself to be more powerful than the rest and that he only needs one half of his quirk to pass the Hero Course."

After explaining his theory, Aizawa turned deadly serious.

"If it's the third option, then I will have him expelled immediately. There are too many arrogant heroes already in the world. But if the new generations believe they can hold back in the field, then we will be slummed with dead heroes and civilians. I don't care if his father is the Number 2. I won't teach a boy who believes himself superior to the rest by only doing the bare minimum. I already have an arrogant, explosive blond to deal with. At least that one doesn't pull his punches back."

Todoroki frowned harder at All Might's words. His fists were balled tightly. His eyes sparkled in fury. But he didn't say anything. Only nodded and bowed respectfully.

Then he left.

Toshinori sighed. Based on his actions, it seemed that at least option three wasn't the case. If it had been that one, then the two-toned boy would have been flustered and angry.

But Todoroki had only been angry. Angry and offended. Like someone who was accused of doing something bad on purpose when it wasn't their true goal.

While All Might mused about his students and went back to the teacher's lounge, in another city, others made their own preparations.

After all, it isn't every day that one learns that the Symbol of Peace has an exploitable weakness.
