Chapter 11 - Battle Trials and Teams

[U.A. High School, Class 1-A, Japan]

Coming through the classroom of Class 1-A the door slid abruptly opened followed by a booming voice shouting, "I HAVE…!! … COME THROUGH THE DOOR, LIKE NORMAL!!"

Everyone was stunned to see All Might appear in the flesh as everyone was excited and ecstatic seeing him here in UA. Especially, Midoriya who nearly idealized this this man and was also his successor. All Might was striking a pose at the front of the room All Might shouted proudly, "Foundational Hero Studies! As the name suggests, this class focuses on teaching you everything you need to know to be a proper Hero. As for our first lesson…"

Striking yet another pose, this time holding a placard with the word battle written on it, All Might declared, "We'll be conducting a battle simulation!"

Hearing they would be conducting battle training on the second day of school, a tense yet excited atmosphere pervaded the classroom. Things became especially exciting when All Might pressed the activation switch of a tiny remote, causing the far-side wall of the classroom to slide open, revealing 20 numbers of briefcases as he explains, "To aid in your first battle, the school has prepared gear and costumes per the forms you filled out during your enrollment. In other words, these are your very first Hero costumes…!"

As not everyone had the means to acquire rare materials or develop high-quality costumes, the class practically erupted in response to All Might's words. Hiro and Momo, weren't so excited, as he had already worn his costume as he had personally created his own and Momo's costumes and had put considerable effort into designing their Hero Costume.

Soon All Might made a pointing gesture towards the door with his thumb saying in a proud tone then bolted out of the room, "Grab the briefcase matching your Seat Number and then make your way to the Field Beta. You can change in the corresponding locker room. With that said, I'll see you there…!!"

*SWOOOSH*

Having left everyone hurried to grab their assigned briefcases, the only exception was Shinso. He didn't have a briefcase just yet, so he waited for everyone else to clear out before grabbing his gym uniform and following at a distance as the class made their way to Field Beta.

As both me and Momo we the last to get our outfits we headed near the changing while talking and as we reached the pace we separated as I head towards the men's changing room.

Everyone soon took their suitcases and went to the changing room. When Hiroto took off his clothes gazing at his body smirking at the hard work and muscles he gained over the past years.

My outfit was just a copy of Jason Todd suit from Batman Arkham Knights.

I look like the same as the character from the game I had already installed JARVIS to the costume so I could easily access all the data from my hero suit itself. And I do suppose I did like this design from the game.'

Seeing his outfit, the nearby Kirishima couldn't help but look at his figure in an impressed tone, "Is that your hero costume? It looks pretty badass, and you have nice muscles.

Hiroto only smirked as he kept the hero's name to himself in a calm tone responding casually to Kirishima, "Thanks, man. You look cool too."

Kirishima smirked thanking him for his hero costume compliment. And soon enough everyone began to head towards the Training Ground Beta.

-----------------------

[U.A. High School, Ground Beta, Japan]

Everyone soon gathered and assembled at the Ground Beta-like All Might oriented nearly everyone showing their Hero costume. When the students trickled in most of the girls wore form-fitting costumes that would bolster their popularity once they became heroes, while most of the guys wore edgy or flamboyant outfits that would allow them to stand out. Midoriya too had the same costume as his canon counterpart.

Female heroes especially attractive ones, had a much easier time earning fans and brand endorsement, so male hero costumes needed to be flashy or iconic to compete, but Hiro thought neutrally, 'Of course, none of that matters if you were truly powerful…'

Waiting until everyone arrived All Might struck a pose with his hands on his hips and said in an excited tone, "They say the clothes make the Pros, and behold, you are the proof of that claim! From this moment on, you are all officially Heroes-in-training!" Midoriya's eyes were practically glowing seeing All Might, his idol teaching him in class.

Everyone smiled as Jiro spoke to Ren after an amount of time distancing themselves in a nervous tone checking his body out, "Hey Ren! I like your costume! A little flashy but it fits your… body."

He paused hearing that as he thought in a surprised tone before smirking, 'Wait did she just check out, her best friend's boyfriend?... nice.'

Hiroto turned to see the girl's Hero Costumes to be the same as canon. But his attention was on Momo's hero uniform, liking the appearance as she waved innocently at him while wearing the costume that I designed for her.

Hiro returned the kind compliment to her in a kind tone eyeing her outfit being genuine of his words, "Thanks Kyoka, but to be honest I'm more impressed of your dress. These flexible resist fibers. But looking at you, I see that being a little surer of what I want will pay off greatly."

Hiroto thanked her compliment while complimenting back as she began to stutter, "Yeah. Y-you know, that's just my… uh… style."

Finishing talking to Kyoka. Hiroto paid attention as Ida began questioning All Might, he began explaining what the test would involve in an upbeat tone, "… Most of the villain's fights that you see in the news take place outside. However, statistically speaking run-ins with the dastardliest evil villains occur indoors. Think about it! Backroom deals, home invasions, secret underground lairs. Truly intelligent evils stay hidden in the shadows…"

Feeding into everyone's excitement, All Might began explaining the details of their Battle Training. Simply put they would be split into groups of two, one side playing Heroes, and the other Villains charged with protecting a fake nuclear bomb.

If the heroes managed to touch the bomb before time ran out, they would win. On the other hand, if the Villains managed to incapacitate the heroes or stall until time ran out, they would be the victors.

All Might then proceeded to draw lots from two boxes to randomly form groups. Ida questioned this confused, "Isn't there a better way?"

Seeing All Might struggle Hiro stepped in as he answered Ida's question in a casual tone crossing his arms, "Think about it. Pros often had to team up with heroes from other agencies on the fly, so maybe that's the reason we are seeing that here. Random team-ups can happen."

All Might gave Hiro a thumbs up as Ida reflected before bowing asking for forgiveness, "Yes, I see. Life is a random series of events. Excuse my rudeness."

All Might didn't mind as Momo remarked on Hiroto's critical thinking, "Nice thinking, Hiroto!"

He smirked and winked at her agreeing to take the credit. The draws were started the same as some of their canon counterparts.
