- "The entire top ten has potential... a shame that not all of the examinees had that same potential."- A teacher said. – "I mean, look at first place, it's been a long time since we had someone score more than 100 points."-
- "And he did it with a decent amount of rescue points."- Another teacher said.
- "Well, we can say that we will have a very different year from the others, I have a feeling that we will see something very interesting with our students."- Nezu said. – "Especially with that boy... Izuku Midoriya... for some reason you catch my attention."-
- "You are undoubtedly right about that, this situation with the hero course has only happened once besides this one in all the time that UA has been in existence."- Another teacher said. – "If I'm not mistaken this also happened during Endeavor's student days."-
- "And in that exam he also came in first place with a score greater than 100 points."- Another teacher said.
- "It seems that things are repeating themselves, a boy with a fire quirk enters UA with a score greater than 100 and just that same year the hero course is not completely filled."- The first teacher said.
- "Let's just hope the same thing doesn't happen as that time…"- Nezu said.
- "Yes, I heard some rumors... are they true?"-
- "I wasn't the principal at that time... but unfortunately I can confirm that the rumors are true."- Nezu said.
- "Wow... I was hoping those rumors were just that, rumors."-
- "Unfortunately they are not, but things have changed and now things are better, since All Might got the title of the symbol of peace, crime has decreased a lot."- Nezu said. – "Not only that, after everything that happened that year UA has raised its standards and now we make sure to prepare our students in a better way so that this does not happen again."-
- "Okay, now back on track… Who will be in charge of which class?"-

Blaze of Glory: Izuku Midoriya's Fire Hero Chronicles
…
…
…
- "Izuku! Are you sure you don't forget anything?"- Inko asked to her son.
- "Yes, I double checked."- Izuku said. – "I'm leaving, I'll be late."-
- "Brother, you look very cool!"- Izumi said. – "I can't wait for my turn to go!"-
- "I bet you look just as cool or cooler than me."- Izuku said as he pats his sister's head.
- "Izuku!"- His mother calls his attention. – "You look so cool."-
Izuku smiled back at his mother. – "Thanks."- After these words Izuku begins to head towards the UA.
…
…
…
Izuku arrives at the train station and enters, however in his haste he crashes with a guy with black hair and an expressionless face. – "I'm sorry!"- Izuku said.
- "No problem."- The guy said with a completely expressionless voice. – "Just be more careful next time."-
Without saying a single word or waiting for a response, the guy leaves. – "I guess he must have had a hard day... although it's only morning..."- Izuku thought as he sits on a seat on the train. – "Maybe his job has him tired."-
After a while on the train, Izuku finally arrives at UA. – "My first official day as a UA student... I'm ready!"- Izuku thought as he starts to look for his classroom. – "I'm in class 1-A, I just have to search."- After several minutes of searching, Izuku finds the entrance to his classroom. – "Here it is, the door is undoubtedly large, although it is probably for people whose quirks make them larger than a normal person."-
Izuku enters the room and is surprised, not by the people who have already arrived, but by the few seats there are. – "There are only ten seats... as far as I remember each class consists of twenty students." – He thought.
At that moment a boy approaches him, it is the boy he saved from a robot in the exam.
Izuku takes the time to observe him well, the boy has purple hair combed back, his skin is light and he wears the normal UA uniform.
- "Hey! It's you, great!"- The guy said. – "Thanks for the save at the exam, I'm Renjiro Takahashi, a pleasure!"-
- "Izuku Midoriya, nice to meet you, Renjiro-san."- Izuku said while shaking hands with Renjiro.
- "You barely know me and you already call me by my name, huh?"- Renjiro said.
- "Yeah, I think so... I don't know... I've always liked calling people by their first names instead of their last names."- Izuku said. – "You can call me Izuku if you like."-
- "Sure!"- Renjiro said. – "Interesting that there are only ten seats, don't you think?"-
- "You noticed too, didn't you?"- Izuku said. – "Classes are usually made up of twenty students, something must have happened..."-
Just then the door opens and a boy Izuku recognized enters. – "Very well... get ready everyone, I have arrived, Sensoji Tsukino has arrived!"- Sensoji said.
- "Wow... looks like you managed to pass, huh?"- Izuku said.
- "What are you doing here!?"- Sensoji said.
- "Well, I passed the exam, so it's obvious why I'm here."- Izuku said.
- "You know him?"- Renjiro asked.
- "Something like that."- Izuku said. – "Look... we'll be classmates from now on if we try to get along, okay?" –
- "As long as you don't get in my way we'll be fine."- Sensoji said.
Izuku and Sensoji stare at each other as more people enter the room.
- "Please... let's avoid conflicts on the first day."- A person said entering the room.
Said person is a tall, slim man with an unnaturally long and flexible neck, as shown on several occasions, and dark, heavily lashed eyes which appeared to tilt slightly inwards. He has rather long, blond hair which he wears combed drastically to the left, covering his left eye.
He is dressed in a pair of jeans, a denim waistcoat with two large breast pockets, and a denim dress shirt with a very high collar which covers his face up to just below his nose. He wears two belts, one around his collar and one around his waist, and short dark brown boots with thick gray shafts and soles.
- "We are in the heroes course, save that energy for later." – The man said. – "Please be polite and sit in your seats."-
Paying attention to the guy, everyone sits down.
- "Very good, now that everyone is seated I will introduce myself."- The man said. – "I am Tsunagu Hakamada, also known as the professional hero Best Jeanist and I will be your homeroom teacher for the rest of the year."-
- "Best Jeanist... He is an incredibly famous hero; many people believe that soon he will be part of the top heroes."- Izuku thought. – "Incredible that UA was able to recruit someone like him!"-
- "Many of you will have several questions."- Best Jeanist said. – "The most obvious is why the reduced number of seats in the class, isn't it?"-
- "That's right, I was wondering why there are only ten students in the class?"- A girl with blue skin asked. – "Aren't classes at UA supposed to consist of twenty students each?"-
- "Well, that's because this year has been something special."- Best Jeanist said. – "This year the number of passes was excessively low; we did not even have enough students to complete a single class of the hero course."-
- "Almost no one approved? So... does that mean it's just us at the hero course?"- Izuku thought.
- "Then the director decided to do something interesting..."- Best Jeanist continued. – "Some of you did not pass the practical exam... but not for not trying, but because of how it is structured, some of you do not have combat-oriented quirks and therefore could not collect enough points."-
Saying this, some of the class members felt uncomfortable.
- "But you know that, don't you? That's why you also applied for the general studies course knowing that you would have a second chance at the sports festival, right?"- Best Jeanist said. – "That is why the principal was in charge of reviewing your files one by one and decided to choose all those who have the potential to become incredible heroes from the beginning, and here you are now."-
- "Okay... but that doesn't explain why there are ten of us."- Renjiro said.
- "Despite doing this, we barely had enough students for a single class, which is why we decided to divide the hero course this year into two classes of ten students."- Best Jeanis said. – "So... please, I don't want you to belittle your classmates who entered through this method, if the principal allowed them to enter this course from the beginning it is because they are your equals, do you understand?"-
- "Loud and clear, sensei!"- Izuku said.
Best Jeanist smiles. - "I like you boy."- He said. – "Okay, now that I've explained this, it's time to move on to the next thing… Each of you will come forward and introduce yourself, your name and quirk."-
- "Could you give us an example, sensei?"- The blonde girl from the exam said.
- "I guess I can... As I already said, my name is Tsunagu Hakamada and my quirk is Fiber Master, it allows me to freely manipulate the threads in any nearby piece of fabric."- Best Jeanist said. – "Now it's your turn, let's go in the seating order."-
The first to pass is the blue-skinned girl. – "Nice to meet you, my name is Kaoruko Awata and my quirk is Bubble."- She said. – "My quirk allows me to produce bubbles filled with any aroma that I had smelled at least once before. I can make both sweet-smelling bubbles and foul-smelling ones."-
- "She must have been one of those who came in through the principal accepting her after the exam results."- Izuku thought. – "As Hakamada-sensei said, she is my equal now."-
The next one to pass is a girl that has notably straight teeth and quite long, dark hair, which is styled into two low plaits with a neat fringe hanging just over her eyes. Her eyes themselves are oval-shaped, and appear to be entirely blacked-out, showing no visible iris or pupil.
- "Hello, my name is Emi Aoki and my quirk is Mass Expansion."- The girl said, - "It allows me to increase my body mass, turning myself into a blob-like form in the process. This blob form can grow larger than a residential building and is rubber-like in nature, allowing me to stretch and contract, as well as protects me from attacks."-
- "Her quirk sounds interesting... apparently she can control the size she expands to."- Izuku thought.
Next is a boy who has his face, arms and hands covered in bandages. – "I'm Yukihiro Kato, my quirk is Traject."- He said. – "It allows me to redirect objects in motion that pass through my bandages. It works in both living and non-living objects."-
- "Another one who probably entered the hero course in a special way."- Izuku thought. – "Even so, his quirk can be very useful as support in a fight."-
The next to pass is Renjiro. - "Hi! My name is Renjiro Takahashi and my quirk is fire fist!"- He said. – "As the name suggests I can cover my fists with fire, this also gives me some resistance to fire."-
- "Interesting... I guess we share something in common now... Our quirks are fire quirks."- Izuku thought while standing up ready to introduce himself.
- "It's a pleasure to meet all of you, I hope we can get along well in these three years! I'm Izuku Midoriya and my quirk is Inferno."- Izuku said. – "My quirk allows me to produce and manipulate large amounts of extremely intense fire at will, the doctors say that my flames are much hotter than normal flames."-
- "You're not as pathetic as I thought... I guess you're worth paying attention to, Izuku Midoriya."- Sensoji thought.
After introducing himself, Izuku returns to his seat and the next to pass is the blonde girl from the entrance exam. – "Nice to meet you guys, my name is Yu Takeyama, you better remember it! My quirk is Gigantification."- She said. – "My quirk allows me to grow to a gigantic size of 2062 cm, no more, no less."-
- "Her quirk is similar to Emi's... only she cannot change her size as she grows."- Izuku thought.
Next up is Sensoji.
- "I am Sensoji Tsukino. My quirk is Blast."- He said. – "It allows me to create blasts from the palms of my hands.
- "Simple but strong... now I can see why he is so arrogant." – Izuku thought.
Next is a girl with long light brown hair and eyes of the same color.
- "My name is Hana Yoshida and my quirk is Lightning generation."- She said. – "My quirk allows me to generate electricity in the form of lightning from my hands."-
- "An electrical quirk...those are becoming more common lately."- Izuku thought.
Next is a girl with smart blue eyes, sloping inwards, and short, shoulder-length hair of a lighter blue color which she wears side swept to the right.
- "Nice to meet you, my name is Aiko Honda and my quirk is Good Ear."- She said. – "My quirk allows me to hear high frequencies and quiet sounds that normal people cannot."-
- "Another one that entered in a special way."- Izuku thought. – "Even so, her quirk can be very useful to facilitate communication between several heroes as well as to listen to conversations of villains."-
Finally, a boy with cream blonde hair and blue eyes stands up to introduce himself. – "I'm Daichi Suzuki and my quirk is Air Blast."- He said. – "My quirk allow me to shoot blasts of air from my hands."-
- "An air quirk... we could make a good team, after all air can enhance fire."- Izuku thought.
- "Alright, now that we're all introduced, it's time to move on to today's next activity."- Best Jeanist said. – "Please everyone follow me as we will go to the introduction ceremony by Principal Nezu."-
Class 1-A follows their teacher to the outside courtyard where all the first-year classes gather for the introduction ceremony.
- "Welcome freshmen to UA High School."- The principal said. – "I hope all of you are in great shape and ready to begin your three-year journey."-
On both sides of Nezu are all the UA teachers.
- "With our staff we will be in charge of nurturing all of you so that when you become professionals you are all ready for the challenges that life throws at you."- Nezu said. – "This year we have a reduced staff because several of our staff have just retired, even so that will not stop us from giving you the best quality of classes and lessons."-
- "Our class schedule is from Monday to Saturday, from 8 a.m. the morning until 4 p.m., with the exception of the hero course whose classes will conclude at 6 p.m., you will all have your time to rest and eat at 2 p.m., in the cafeteria you can all order the dish you like; our professionals will take care of your orders."- Nezu said. – "Our school also has various clubs to which all of you, except the students of the hero course, can join."-
- "That's kind of unfair, don't you think?"- Renjiro whispers to Izuku.
- "I guess because we have extra activities unlike the rest of the classes."- Izuku whispers back.
- "Our facilities have everything you need, from an infirmary managed by Recovery Girl, to the cafeteria led by Lunch Rush, all with the purpose that you will lack nothing during your studies here."- Nezu said. – "Your classroom teachers will be in charge of giving you orientation and introduction to the facilities once this ceremony is over."-
- "With this I finish my speech, now I only have to welcome you to UA High School."- Nezu said.
After the introduction ceremony, Best Jeanist gives his students a tour through the facilities, ending when they return to the classroom of class 1-A. – "And with this we finish the orientation."- Best Jeanist said. – "Now, to finish today's day... under your desks you will find your gym uniforms, put them on, I will be waiting for you at the training ground."-

To be continued.
Next Chapter: Tests and classes.
So yeah. Here we are.
Another chapter finished and yeah.
Alright, we have Izuku's classmates as well as his teacher.
I suppose you recognize some of them, others, I don't think so since some are characters from the Vigilantes manga.
In addition, some, rather most, have invented names since we do not know their real names.
Just so you know who Izuku's classmates are, I'll give you who they are in canon.
Kaoruko Awata, I think we all know who she is… but just in case, she is Bubble Girl, one of Nighteye's sidekicks.
Emi Aoki(Original name) is Enigma, a character from the Vigilantes manga and Ingenium's (Tensei) sidekick.
Yukihiro Kato(Original name) is Kido, one of Endeavor's Flaming Sidekicks.
Renjiro Takahashi(Original name) is Onima, one of Endeavor's Flaming Sidekicks.
Yu Takeyama is Mount Lady(That one was the most obvious one).
Sensoji Tsukino(Original last name) is Mister Blaster, a character from the Vigilantes manga who actually is, or was, a student from UA.
Hana Yoshida (Original name) is Toy-Toy, she is a professional hero who appeared in the sports festival arc and the Paranormal Liberation war and is one of those who complained about Bakugo when he was fighting Uraraka at the sports festival.
Aiko Honda(Original name) is Sirius, Selkie's sidekick.
Daichi Suzuki(Original name) is Airjet, a pro hero who has been mentioned a few times in the manga, but has a little major appearance in the Vigilantes manga.
That's right, they are Izuku's classmates, it was very difficult for me to get him some classmates since many characters in My Hero Academia, who are not students, are too adults to be from the generation of this Izuku in this story(By the time the canonical Izuku entered UA this Izuku would be between 22 and 23 years old).
Others who had the required age are known to have not gone to UA, like Mirko or Hawks (Mirko is confirmed to have gone to a hero school in Hiroshima and Hawks was specially educated and trained by the government).
So I had to do a lot of research, mainly taking characters whose age was unknown but who looked young enough, approximately 22 to 23 years old.
The only one whose age was confirmed and was within the required range was Yu Takeyama aka Mt. Lady.
And yes, there are only ten students in total, the reasons are because it cost me a lot just to get ten and getting twenty was going to cost me years of life, in addition, I feel that a class of ten members is better for developing characters than a class of twenty.
Which is demonstrated with class 1-A in the canon, since several of the members of the class had very little time in the spotlight.
We also have the homeroom teacher of class 1-A, Best Jeanist!
Another thing, the villain group will still take a couple of chapters to debut, but when they do they will take a couple of chapters of protagonism.
Another thing with the antagonists is that they will not do anything against UA, since they have their own goals that do not involve UA, it will be fate that Izuku will get involved in their plans in the future.
Even so, we had a small glimpse of a member of the villain group in this chapter.
Well nothing, the next chapter we will continue with this.
As always feel free to leave any comment, review, suggestion, or question about the story, of course always with respect.
Leave your comments about the story, if you like it or not, that also helps me to improve my writing.
So yeah. That's all for now.
Bye Bye.
