Chapter Text

It was the second day of school at UA and izuku was equally as excited for it as the first. Even though today was a full day meaning he had to take part in other lessons such as math, English, science, etc, he was still having a great time. Although the same couldn't be said for Azaka as it looked like he was just about ready to through his desk through a window especially during the harder subjects like maths and science. But fortunately he was able to make it to the most anticipated lesson of the day, hero basic training.

"Finally! All of those fodder classes are over." Azaka said as he slammed his head into his the desk.

"There not that bad." Izuku said.

"Yeah! You just don't study enough!" Mitsuri said chastising Azaka for his lack of motivation in doing anything that wasn't training.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Where's the teacher already?" Azaka questioned and just like clockwork the door burst open reveling the number 1 hero, All Might!

"I. AM. HERE! Coming through the door like a hero!" Yelled All Might as he entered the room.

The entire classroom burst into chatter amoung seeing All Might in person.

"I can't believe it's really All Might." Kaminari said in shock.

"So he is a teacher! This year is going to be totally awesome!" Kiriya yelled in excitement.

"Is that his silver age costume?" Asui asked in a voice that contained only a slight bit more enthusiasm than her normal monotone voice.

"Ha!ha!ha! I love the enthusiasm! But let's settle down and listen as I welcome you to the most important class at UA high! You can think of it as heroics 101. Here, you will learn the basics of being a pro. And what it means to fight in the name of good! Let's get into! Today's lesson will pull no punches!" All Might announced while throwing a pose.

"Fight training!" Bakugou yelled with a maniac look on his face.

"Finally! I was withering away over here! Let's actually do something!" Azaka yelled desperate to stretch his legs."

"Now, now class! Once again I love the enthusiasm! But before we continue you're all missing a vital piece of being a hero! And that isssssss! Your hero costumes!" All might pointed at a wall in the classroom that started to open up to reveal numbered compartments.
"Each compartment has your class number on the side of it. Inside of it will be the hero costume you submitted with a few changes to suit regulations. Don't fret the changes are only minor. Now, go get your Awesome costumes on!"

Being given the green light everyone scrambled to get to their hero costumes with Iida and izuku being the only ones trying to keep an orderly fashion. And due to this both of them where the last ones to get to there costumes. Iida grabbed his costume and left the room, following after the rest of the class who had rushed off to the changing rooms to quickly put their costumes on. But when izuku checked the compartment that was supposed to contain his costume, somthing was wrong. The compartment was empty."

"It's empty? Did someone take it by accident?" Izuku looked desperately in the compartment, trying to see if there was another secret compartment or something but there was nothing.

"What's wrong young hero? You're holding up the class." All might asked, wondering what was taking izuku so long.

"I'm sorry All Might sir. but I think there's been a mistake. My hero costume isn't in my compartment." Izuku quickly explained.

"Hmm, really? How odd. Wait a second. Of course! How could I forget!" All might yelled smacking his own forehead in exasperation at his own forgetfulness.

"What is it All Might sir!" Izuku asked in concern.

"Sorry but you must be young, Midoriya. This was handed in today for you but it completely slipped my mind!" All might handed izuku a vacuum sealed plastic bag with a note attached on top.

"What's this?" Izuku asked.

"I was told it was your hero costume. Apparently one of your family members dropped it off this morning for you. I didn't look inside of it though, I didn't want to ruin the surprise for myself."

"Wow. Thank you sir All might!" Izuku said with a bow.

"Don't mention it kid. Also just All might will work fine. Now go on kid. I'm dying of anticipation." All might ushered izuku out of the classroom.

"Uh, yes sir All Might. Oh, I mean just All Might."

Izuku ran out of the room and quickly went to the changing rooms to see what this new costume was about. But before he entered the changing room he decided to read the note that was attached to the bag before hand. Unfolding the note he could immediately tell who the handwriting belonged to.

'Hello izuku. Its been a while since I've written a letter to anyone, so I'll try to keep this short. I know that you had a costume already designed, but in this bag contains a uniform that was worn by the demon slayer corpse. As well as the Haori worn by all the previous flame hasira. I've been looking after it for a while now but with you re-lighting the flame Hasira legacy, I feel it is only right that I pass it down to you. And although I don't remember him much I'm sure the previous flame hasira would agree that you should have it. But anyway this note is dragging. Go make us proud.

Sincerely Tanjiro kamado.'

Izuku looked at the note not really knowing what to think. Now knowing what was inside the bag it felt like it changed from being light cloth to a ton of bricks in weight. The weight of the responsibility and expectations he would have to live up to. But he felt glad in a way, glad that a chore like this was handed to him

"I'll do my best, sir Tanjiro." Izuku said silently yet enthusiastically to himself. He entered the changing room and got dressed into his new hero costume.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

"They should be arriving any second now." All might said to himself while waiting for the class to arrive at the training grounds. And right on schedule the entire class arrived dressed in there new hero costumes.

"Oh Boy! You all look awesome!" All might cheered directing a thumbs up at the class.

The whole class started talking to each other mainly complimenting each other's costumes and telling each other the inspiration behind there costumes.

"Woah, Azaka. You're costume is so cool!" Mitsuri complemented as she walked to Azaka as he was the first person she spotted. Azaka however didn't seem to be paying attention to her as he had his back turned to her, clearly focused on something else. But he was paying just enough attention to hear and respond to her complement.

"Its not a costume. It's a uniform, made with combat in mind. Plus how can you even tell? I'm not facing your direction."

"I could just tell it would be." Mitsuri said with a smile causing Azaka to scoff.

"Are you and izuku ever not trying to be nice to people?" Azaka asked genuinely weirded out by how two people could be so genuinely positive 24/7.

"Being nice to people is a good thing. You should try it. And you could start by completing my costume." Mitsuri said, trying to goad a compliment out of him.

"You say that, but you are aware that fishing for compliments isn't very nic!-" Azaka sentence was complete cut off, as when he turned to look at Mitsuri, all the blood in his head almost immediately shot out of his nose due to how revealing Mitsuri's costume was. She was wearing a pair of navy blue thigh-high socks layered with vertically striped lime-green socks. As well as a plain white haori. But the main problem lay with the uniform she had on. She had on a plain black skirt, nothing weird there (although Azaka expected a lot more pink.) But the top she was wearing left her cleavage completely exposed. Azaka being a respectable gentleman, quickly averted his gaze to literally anywhere else, upon seeing such indecency.

"What's wrong?! Don't you like it?! Oh, I knew there wasn't enough pink." Mitsuri said looked over her costume again.

"Its not the colour scheme that's the problem!" Azaka yelled, with cheeks that burned hotter than the sun.

"Then what is the problem?" Mitsuri asked looking over her costume. Still somehow not seeing the problem.

Azaka had no idea how to handle this situation. Does he outright tell her what the problem is? Or would that be weird? He was so out of his element. But luckily for him his attention was diverted from the situation when he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"What's the problem? You two are being louder than usual." The jovial voice of izuku said from behind Azaka.

When Azaka turned around he got to see izuku and his costume in all of its entirety. He hero costume consisted on the regular demon slayer uniform alongside with the flame hasira Haori and flame pattern kyahan. Needless to say it was a very flashy costume that would be popular in the hero world.

"Haha! Nice costume!" Azaka complemented, completely forgetting about Mitsuri.

"Thanks! You're one is great to!" Izuku complimented back.

"Izuku, Izuku! What do you think of my Costume." Mitsuri asked excitedly.

"It looks gr- WHY'RE YOU DRESSED LIKE THAT!" Izuku yelled halfway through his original sentence. His face becoming completely covered in a red blush.

"What!? Not you too! What's wrong with it!?" Mitsuri asked in a panic.

"Its a little... reveling. Dont you think?" Izuku pointed out whilst trying to not directly say the problem ad that would be embarrassing for both her and him.

"What! But I saw online that these kinds of costumes were popular for girl heroes!" Mitsuri tried to reason while also trying to keep her composure.

"Yeah. Popular among creeps." Akaza pointed out in a rather annoyed tone.

"Wh-what that's not true!" Mitsuri yelled out in fluster. "Look at her! Her costumes more revealing than mine." In her panic Mitsuri pointed at Momo Yaoyorzu to try and get the attention off of her. But in all honesty her costume was also very revealing which means Mitsuri did have a point.

Everyone's attention turned to Momo due to Mitsuri's outburst and considering the topic Mono and several other people appeared to be very uncomfortable.

"Actually, my costume is designed this way to help with my quirk, not for popularity reasons." Momo said with a blush on her face, now feeling all eyes on her.

"WELL I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT CONVERSATION TOPIC!" All might quickly cut in to make sure the conversation didn't go any further. "Miss Mitsuri, if your having... troubles with your hero costume, you can submit for a redesign later. But for now, if you would feel more comfortable you can change into the school's gym uniform." All might offered to try and de-escalate the situation.

"No, this is fine. I'll submit for a redesign later." Mitsuri said with in a sheepish tone. She didn't want to be the only one not in costume during the test, she just had to hope no one would be weird about it.

"Ok, then." All might said as he cleared his throat. "Everyone, follow me! The training grounds are this way!" He said in his usual over dramatic tone that was enough to make the students forget about the past issues and focus on him. All of the students followed behind All might as he showed them to the test area.

After walking for a short while it wasn't long till they reached their destination. It was the fake city that the entrance exams took place in, except that they were completely repaired from the entrance exams.

"Today young heroes, we will be doing heroes vs villains!" All might said in a way that made it sound like they were children who were about to play make believe. "You will all be split into teams of two to and put inside of one of those buildings. One team will be the hero team and the other team will be the villain team. The goal of this exercise is to capture the bomb placed inside of the house without causing casualties or capture the villains with this roll of tape. The villains win if the timer runs out or If they are able to catch the hero's with the same tape. Does everyone understand?" All might asked, and all of the students nodded their head in understanding. Everyone compared it to a game of capture the flag, which in essence it was. "Good! You will be put into teams at random by drawing lots from this box. Everyone come draw a lot in register order." all might asked as he presented the box. It didn't take long for everyone to grap a card that would tell them who they would be paird with and so the teams were set.

Team A: Izuku & Mukago.

Team B: Azaka & Tenya.

Team C: Mitsuri & Ochako.

Team D: Bakugo & Todoroki.

Team E: Mina & toru

Team C: Tokoyami & Asui.

Team F: Momo & Kirishima.

Team G: Jiro & Kaminari.

Team H: Aouyama & sero.

Team I: Mineta & Sato

Team G: Shoji & Koda.

And with that everyone had their partner izuku was to team up with Mukago, Azaka was to team up with tenya and Mitsuri was to team up with Momo.

And now it's time to find out who's going to be the heros and who's going to be the dastardly villain's!" All might proclaimed as he put his hand into two separate boxes, one labelled hero and the other villain.

"Let's see our first hero group is... Team A! And our first villain group is Team D!"

The first battle to be had is Izuku and Mukago vs Todaroki and Bakugo

"And our second hero group is Team C and our second villain group is... team F!"

The second battle will be Ochako and Mitsuri vs Momo and Kirishima.

"And our third hero group will be Team B vs... Team E!"

3rd match is Azaka and Tenya vs Toru and Mina.

All might continued to list the heroes and villains which gave enough time for everyone to get into their groups.
