Your Power

                                    

                                          
Signing up for Hero Team training was, as it turned out, far less complicated than either Izuku or Mina had thought. Literally, the only thing that it took was Ectoplasm taking a note of both of their names, and their Team Hero Name. After a small amount of debate between the two young students, they had agreed that the name Awkward Energy did suit them best - Even if Izuku's contribution to the team name being his meek disposition hurt his pride. Once that had been attained and noted down, Ectoplasm would send it off to the Headmaster for confirmation, and their names would be officially added to the roster by the end of the day.
                          
It almost felt too easy, like there was some sort of catch to these extremely simple conditions that was just waiting to be sprung on them that were going to catch them out and put a crimp in their plans. But there wasn't one. No tricks or temptations to sway them, or any info-drops dumped on them designed to test their resolve by trying to scare them away.
                          
No, it was as simple as a few scribbles on a piece of paper, and one signature later they would be ready to go.
                          
It caused Izuku to blink a few times after it was done, feeling like he'd just blacked out through half of the conversation. Thanks to how Aizawa-sensei did things, he was used to expecting trickery or deceit during this sort of thing now.
                          
"You alright?" Ectoplasm questioned, looking at Izuku with the closest look to concern that his Hero Costume and his grotesquely bizarre face would allow him.
                          
"S-Sorry." The green haired boy apologised, shaking his head rapidly to snap him out of his stupor. "I was just... I didn't expect it to be that easy, that's all."
                          
Sharing his surprise, Mina nodded in agreement with her boyfriend, nearly mirroring his expression exactly. "Yeah... Aren't you gonna like, try and throw us off, or intimidate us or something?" The pair had almost been essentially conditioned to expect such straightforward things to be overly complicated when dealing with Yuuei staff. It was hard to remember that not every single teacher was as... Eccentric as theirs were.
                          
Sitting back into his chair, their Clone Quirk using teacher responded in a relaxed, calm manner. "I might have done normally, but you first years have already been through a huge amount this year. The USJ, the Kiyashi Ward incident, and now your training has been accelerated up in pace considerably, and you're all still attending classes. To top that off, you're also here to attend extra-curriculum sessions on how to work as a Hero Team, willingly. As far as I'm concerned, that's good enough an indicator that you're both serious about becoming Heroes. Trying to freak you out about this sort of class would be pointless."
                          
Neither of them could be persuaded out of doing this, both of them knew this much. Izuku's awkwardness was one thing, but he wasn't going to back down from this once he was certain about it. Nor could they be intimidated from doing so. Basically, any of the traditional Yuuei attempts to shake their students faith before sending them off into a drastic and dangerous test wasn't going to work on them right now.
                          
The logic was there, but...
                          
"That's a bunch of crap!"
                          
... The other Hero Team Students didn't seem to feel the same way about it.
                          
Rising from his seat quickly, the Professional Hero stood tall as he could on his prosthetic limbs, like he were a kindergarten carer about to scold a naughty pupil. Pretty clearly an action that Ectoplasm wasn't happy to have to take with third year Hero Course students. "Kuroshi -"
                          
"We all had to go through some sort of initiation to attend these sessions! How come the first years can get away without doing one!?" The third year student sounded seriously angry at the prospect of a simple entrance into the classes. The ferocity of which he seemed to oppose this startled Izuku and Mina both, throwing the pair of them off completely.
