The second school day passed by quite quickly. Class 1A just had regular lessons, like maths, English literature and sciences. They would be having their first heroics class after lunch.

  But that was after lunch, and Izuku was not looking forward to taking his mask off in a room full of curious teenagers.

  "I really need to bring the eating problem up to Powerloader." He clicked.

  Izuku and Ochako took their trays from Lunch Rush, who greeted Izuku warmly, and looked for a seat.

  Izuku clicked a couple times to get Ochako's attention and headed for a table in the corner occupied by a single person.

  "May we sit with you?" Izuku clicked.

  Todoroki nodded, returning to his meal.

  Izuku sat facing the wall, while Ochako sat opposite him.

  He calmly took his mask off and began eating. Todoroki's eyes had narrowed slightly.

  "We are very similar Mask. Your scars could only come from one kind of quirk, and one kind of person. An arrogant fool, obsessed with strength, and being the best."

  Izuku snorted in amusement, nodding his agreement.

  "Endeavour and Bakugo are very similar." He clicked.

  Todoroki nodded, returning his attention to the soba. A strange bond formed between them. Understanding and sympathy.

  Surprisingly, Mina hadn't come over and tried to peek at Izuku's scars. That was perhaps because Kirishima kept her at their table, grabbing her every time she tried to dart off.

  Once lunch had ended, it was time for their heroics class.

  "I wonder who our teacher is going to be." Someone murmured.

  "I am..."

  Izuku's mood immediately soured. Nezu had revealed the true identities of Toshinori and Inko Yagi to Izuku, who had grown to despise the two 'heroes'.

  "Coming through the door like a hero!" All Might said, coming through the door like an idiot. Viridian Storm followed behind him. All Might seemed to be the main act here though.

  "Good afternoon class! Viridian Storm and I will be your Heroics teachers this year! Now, for this lesson you'll be doing... BATTLE TRAINING!!" All Might bellowed.

  Viridian Storm pulled out a remote and activated the cases in the wall.

  "You'll be needing your hero costumes for this excersise. Put them on, and head to ground Beta." She said.

  The two heroes then left, and the students each grabbed their costume cases and headed to the changing rooms.

  Izuku lagged behind the others, entering the changing room just as they were pulling their costumes on.

  "Mask, you must get changed quickly, or you will be late to class!" Iida exclaimed, walking out of the changing rooms in a set of armour.

  Izuku nodded quickly, stepping inside.

  Todoroki was the last one there, probably for the same reasons as Izuku. The other boy was covered in burn scars, different to the one on his face.

  "Fire and water?" Izuku clicked.

  Todoroki nodded, pulling a blue jumpsuit with short sleeves on.

  "Endeavour is a.. tough trainer." He said quietly.

  Izuku unbuttoned his uniform, removing his shirt and revealing his metal arm to the other boy.

  Todoroki's eyes were wide.

  "Bakugo blew your arm off?!?" He hissed in disbelief.

  Izuku nodded, flexing the metal appendage.

  "He has a powerful quirk, so the school wiped his records clean. Hardly anyone knows he took my arm though. I want to watch the realization dawn in his eyes as I stand over him in the sports festival." Izuku clicked.

  Todoroki gave a short huff of laughter.

  "I'll watch your career with interest. See you out there Mask." He said.

  Izuku nodded to the boy, pulling his costume on over his scars and mechanical arm.

  He wore a long sleeved jumpsuit that had been synthesized from a strand of his hair by a support company. As long as he was in contact with the fabric, anything that touched his costume, or the soles of his shoes, could be Altered.

  Izuku wore a glove over his right hand, and just kept his regular green mask on. It was specially armoured against all sorts of things anyway, so he didn't need a new one for training.

  Izuku ran out after Todoroki and joined his classmates.

  "Excellent, you're all here! Now, today's training will be a team battle! One team, the heroes, must infiltrate a villain hideout and capture either both of the villains, or secure the doomsday device!" All Might said.

  "And the villain team must defend their hideout, and their doomsday weapon for ten minutes, or capture both of the heroes." Storm said.

  All Might put people into teams, and Viridian Storm pulled balls out of boxes to decide the matchups.

  "Team D are the heroes, and team A are the villains!" She said.

  Izuku and Ochako were team A.

  Bakugo and Izumi were team B.

  Izuku huffed beneath his mask, while Ochako have a satisfied smile.

  Bakugo looked ready to fight, but Izumi looked sceptical.

  "Villain team, you have five minutes to prepare a strategy and hide the doomsday device before the heroes enter the building! Heroes, use this time to study the floorplan, and come up with an effective strategy!" All Might said.

  Storm gave each student an earpiece connected to their teammate's.

  "Villains, once you enter the building your five minutes begin!" All Might said.

  Izuku nodded silently, walking out of the viewing room alongside Ochako.

  Once they were out of sight Izuku removed his mask, showing his partner the massive grin on his face.

  Ochako smiled back.

  "What's got you so happy?" She asked.

  Izuku huffed in laughter.

  "My quirk is called Alter." He whispered. "The hero's floor plan is going to be useless."

  Ochako laughed out loud.

  "Step one I assume?" She asked.

  Izuku nodded, putting his mask back on as they approached the building, and the cameras.

  He reached out and brushed his left hand against the wall. There was a loud rumble, then nothing.

  "Let's go and secure the doomsday device. If we split up and occupy different floors, we can lure them to the wrong places." Izuku whispered.

 
 
  Once their five minutes were up, the hero team entered the building.

  "This isn't anything like the floorplan at all.." Izumi muttered.

  "Indeed it isn't, Hero." Izuku clicked.

  Bakugo growled.

  "Leave this masked bastard to me Zumi. Go look for the bomb and the gravity bitch."

  Izukus eyes narrowed at Bakugo's use of the nickname he gave his sister.

  Izumi nodded, running back the way they came to search down a different corridor.

  Bakugo strode forwards confidently, his palms crackling with small explosions.

  "You can make this easy.. or you can make it difficult." Bakugo said.

  Izukus eyes narrowed, and he fired a plasma bolt at the boy.

  "Difficult." He choked out.

  Bakugo growled, then blasted off, launching himself at Izuku.

  Izuku raised his right arm and caught the incoming blast on his forearm. His sleeve and glove were obliterated, but his arm was left undamaged.

  "What the-"

  "Surprise motherfucker." Izuku croaked.

  Izuku lashed out, entwining his metal fingers with Bakugo's.

 
  And he squeezed.
