Taishiro went to Momo's room after his problem children checkup was over. She was excited to see the BMI hero in her room. Fatgum was a bit sursprised when he saw the room. Her file mentioned a wealthy family, but he didn't expect to see all that expensive furniture. Even his bed wasn't that big. The girl was reading something.

"Judging from the file and what I heard from her classmates, she appears to be a genuinely nice person. I need to tell her to be humbler without sounding rude." He thought.

"Good evening."

"Good evening, sensei." She smiled and gave him a box with strange writings. "Please, have this tea. It was delivered straight from Sri Lanka. I guarantee you will like it"

"Okay, I guess this is what he talking about."

"Yaoyorozu. I need to ask you something."

"Of course." The girl eagerly nodded.

"I need you to be more considerate with the way you demonstrate your status."

"I beg your pardon?" She raised an eyebrow out of confusion.

"You see, one of students in our class is uncomfortable with your displays of wealth. I think they didn't tell you directly because they didn't want to upset you."

"I don't understand it. What exactly am I doing wrong?"

"The student in question grew up in poverty. If you are not careful, you may come off as entitled in front of them. Being mindful of what you say is something you need to keep in mind to as future hero."

Yaoyorozu spent a good minute digesting this information. Her face facial expression went from confused, to concerned and then shocked.

"Oh my God!" She almost screamed. "Sensei, who is that person? I need to apologize to them! Was it Uraraka-san? She lost consciousness went entering my room."

"Crap." Taishiro cursed in his head. "The last thing I need is dragging other people in this."

"No, it wasn't her. Listen, you are overthinking this. Just don't bring up your status and everything will be fine."

"If you say so."

Despite her sensei's words, Momo couldn't help but wonder who was the person she upset. Recalling past events, she realized it was Daigo. The time was late, so he might already be asleep. She would need to apologize the next day.

Students woke up to and went to do their morning routines (breakfasts, showers, workouts for physically lacking). First thing Yaoyorozu did after making her hair was try to find Brando in his room, but he already gone by that time. She figured he went to have breakfast. She went to the kitchen.

"Why do we study at Saturdays?" Camie groaned while pouring herself coffee. "So not cool."

"Because we are going to be heroes, duh." Itsuka replied. "You need to get used to this."

"I know, fam." She sighed.

"Look at the bright side." Setsuna pulled out her dinosaur shaped crackers. "We can go hang out in the city or go visit our homes after the classes. Do you guys have plans?"

"I'll stay here." Shouto replied. "Need to keep training."

"My parents are dying to see me in person." Momo replied. "They wanted to discuss building…" She stopped due to thinking about the implications of her words. "They wanted to discuss family matters."

"My brother told me he wants to visit an orphanage to act as moral support for the children there." Tenya tried to recall. "Sunshine. Yes, Sunshine!"

Daigo spat his drink out.

"Oh, is that the same place where you help the caretaker?" Camie asked.

"Yeah. That's the one." He replied dryly.

"That's totes awesome!" She smiled. "How about I go too? I'm super with kids."

"Great idea!" Tenya nodded in approval. "I believe we should all go."

"This is my chance!" Yaomomo decided in her thoughts. "A chance to set things right."

"I will go as well." She said.

"Didn't you have family matters?" Itsuka asked her.

"That can wait!"

"Sorry, everybody." Izuku chuckled nervously. "I am not allowed to leave UA grounds without Pro Hero supervision or a license. They are afraid I might get attacked."

"That's gotta sting." Fujimi took a handful from Setsuna's bag.

"I will stay here to help Ibara's garden." Ochako took bread from a toaster. "If you need company, we can provide it."

"No, it's fine, really. I'm going to spend time testing quirks with other people. That reminds me." He took out his quirked objects. "Yaomomo, could you please make sturdy token for quirk safekeeping. I recently realized that photos and pens are easy to destroy, and I cannot afford to lose anything in my current possession."

"Alright." She nodded. "You need six of them, correct?"

"Probably a bit more, in case I need to switch up quirks between students or teachers. Now." He spoke up louder to attract attention. "In case you want to participate, I need to know how many quirks you can take in the first place. Actually, I think you should let me know either way, since we might get teamed up later."

Izuku took out his notebook to write the information down. After the runners returned for breakfast, he asked them to join as well. The results were written down:

Me: 1 (technically 2)

Iida: 2

Bakugou: ? (need to ask sensei for to convince him)

Todoroki: 2

Monoma: 5 (I'm so envious!)

Tsunotori: 2

Tsuna: 3

Romero: 2

Shiozaki: 2

Kendou: 3

Brando: 3

Shinsou: 2

Yaoyorozu: 3

Utsushimi: 2

Uraraka: 3

Tokoyami: 2

"So far a 50/50 split. I wonder if that is the case for everyone on Earth or just a fluke."

"I'm sure you'll figure it out later." Tokage encouragingly patted him on the shoulder.

More normal lessons. Midnight's art class involved drawing a bowl of fruits. Present Mic went over various figures of speech from, English, some of which were really strange. Math was quite hard for Izuku to wrap his head around. In biology they were going over nuanced differences between quirk types.

Now it was time for heroics! 1A gathered in the same spot where Fatgum did the quirk apprehension test. All Might announced that today they would practice fighting without their quirks. To win, they would have to push their opponent out of bounds, make them surrender verbally or knock them out.

"Sensei." Fujimi wondered. "Why would we fight without our quirks ever?"

"There could be many reasons. You could get very unlucky and run into Eraserhead's cousin, or be in a situation where quirk could be detrimental to use. Take Present Mic as an example: his loud scream could spell disaster if used near civilians or unstable structures. A hero should be able to do something even if the quirk doesn't fit the situation."

Izuku couldn't help but recall the Sludge incident.

"Not sure how my transformation could endanger anyone, but ok." Romero shrugged.

Some students considered this explanation unsatisfactory, but chose not to speak against their teacher.

"Your costumes and gear are fair game this time." The hero pointed at a screen behind him. "And I already chose pairs based on my discretion."

Pony vs Tenya: Pony had the advantage of vestigial mutations that made her stronger and tougher even without her quirk. The same could be said about Tenya's legs. They were both chose to run head first to try and overpower the other, starting off with powerful kicks. Iida really didn't want to harm Tsunotori too much, so he slowly pushed her to the ring boundary as they fought. In the end, he tried to push her outside with one decisive tackle and… succeeded. His massive frame was over her body, which caused both of them to blush (presumably. Nobody couldn't see through the helmet). Tokage made a flirty joke, which made Itsuka want to karate chop her neck. The bespectacled boy volunteered to get the girl to the doctor, but she insisted on going herself.

Camie vs Itsuka: Two most skilled unarmed fighters in 1A. Utsuhimi was trained by her policeman father, while Kendou's dad was a karate practitioner. The brunette started with a left hook, but red head blocked it and went for a sweep. Camie countered by trying to stomp on her opponent's foot, but Itsuka's attack was a fake out all along! Her leg instead bent in the knee and attacked the cop girl's stomach. The brief stun from this was enough for karateka to throw her opponent over her head and lock her arms. The whole fight ended quickly, unlike the slow slugfest from last time. They didn't even need Recovery Girl's help. All Might congratulated their skills.

Katsuki vs Daigo: The only people in 1A who carried weapons with them (Uraraka's gear was going to be finished soon). All Might explained that even though Bakugou's bombs use his sweat (some people found that disgusting), they count as separate equipment since he could carry them at all times. It was a matter of Bakugou's grenades vs Brando's bullets. Daigo wasn't seemingly unsure of his throwing skills, so he left dynamite sticks out of the arena and went with the gun. Katsuki threw two grenades at his opponent, one of which was shot off course almost immediately and the other exploded near Daigo. The cowboy was sent backwards from the knockback, but swiftly recovered and shot third and fourth bombs before they could reach him. The last two bullets hit one of Katsuki's arms, which caused him to drop his next projectile when it was already primed. The explosion didn't harm the ash blond much (must have been a result of mutation or training), but it gave his foe enough time to use a speed loader and have a fully loaded revolver again. All Might preemptively declared Daigo the winner to avoid further wounds (Recovery Girl's demanded him to be more careful with students), but something about this battle seemed strange to him. He noticed that the cowboy's eyes were twitching very quickly, as if he tried to instantly snap on his targets. Was this a new shooting style developed by Snipe? Or a mutation? Regardless, they both needed medical assistance. Bakugou was not happy to lose despite not giving up.

The rest of the fights were admittedly less exciting to watch.

Shouto vs Fujimi was a diet version of Camie vs Itsuka. They demonstrated surface level skills, but in the end it boiled down Fujimi's experience is melee combat.

Neito vs Izuku was the most basic brawl ever. It was clear their focus on quirks made them fight with simple punches, hair pulls and kicks when those were out of equation.

Momo vs Hitoshi was in a similar boat. Shinsou used whatever he learnt in the last few days from Kendou while Yaoyorozu relied on her prior training with coaches. The boy emerged victorious by going for the eyes. This caused a few boos from the audience.

Fumikage vs Ibara had the latter hesitating, as she wasn't used to throwing hands. The boy, on the other hand, didn't want to attack a person who doesn't fight back. At last, the raven head took her opponent out of the ring peacefully.

Ochako vs Setsuna was a decent fight, with former being a bit stronger and latter a bit more agile. Uraraka actually asked Yaoyorozu for a pair of four finger gloves to not use her quirk by accident. She managed grab the lizard girl by the shoulders and head-butt her hard enough to score a knockout. Her head hurt for the rest of the day.

After the lessons were over, 1A went to the cafeteria. Izuku liked Lunch Rush's cooking very much. Not as much as mom's cooking, but still. He wondered if he could ask for lessons…

An alarm went off! In UA of all places. Everyone began to panic and try to get out as soon as possible. Luckily, Nejire-sempai was able to attract everyone attention by flying up to the ceiling and grabbing everyone's attention with her flashy waves. Hadou convinced everyone to calm down and leave the cafeteria quietly. This wasn't something Izuku expected from a seemingly airheaded person. She must have had a more serious side.

Turns out, journalists were waiting near the UA gate for the whole day. After getting confirmation that All Might was teaching there, they wanted to intercept whatever hero students wanted to go outside for the weekend. Some of them were also hoping to catch the elusive quirk thief. An unknown person disintegrated the wall near entrance, allowing the press to come in and trigger the alarm. Teachers quickly understood this and made them leave. Unfortunately, this whole fiasco meant Midorya's quirk exchange extracurricular had to be postponed until after Monday's rescue training. He was saddened by these news, but found comfort in knowing that nobody was hurt.

Out of 1A students, Izuku, Itsuka, Pony, Neito, Ibara, Katsuki, Shouto and Ochako stayed in dorms for various reasons. Midoriya was hoping he could at least test their quirks during these two days. Setsuna jokingly told him to be a good boy and not cheat on her, which made him blush. We went to Monoma to see how their quirks would interact. Itsuka only got to teach Denki who also stayed in his dorm.

Other teenagers went outside UA until Monday. First they had to get past hordes of journalists who were still waiting for them. Daigo was tempted to speak with them but Tenya practically dragged him and the girls away from the crowd. He promised Tensei to be home on time so they can go to Sunshine as soon as possible, which meant others had to come on time too. There were two limousines waiting for him and Momo. Camie clapped her hands while Daigo rolled his eyes. Yaoyorozu thought this would be a good opportunity to apologize in private, so she dragged the him into her car and asked the others two get into the other one.

Author's notes: Please leave comments!

One thing I find tiring about other AFO Izuku fics is that they put everyone else (except OFA wielders) into an extra status, even top tiers like Todoroki. This is why I made it so Izuku's power relies a lot on other people (quirks can be stolen when in trinkets, but not when in allies). I think it allows others to shine, makes Midoriya less intimidating in-universe and forces him to learn powers thoroughly like Nine instead of stacking 300 strength boosters.

Sorry if this fic feels like a slog. I wanted to try and delve deeper into relationhsips between students.

Nejire got to prove her status as Big Three member, which IMO makes more sense that any first year.

Next chapter will be weekend rest, and after that Rescue training with a brand new teacher!
