Izuku sat down on the bus with a sigh. He was looking forward to the rescue training, but was also dreading it.

  Ochako sat down beside him, a wide smile on her face.

  "I wonder which hero is going to be teaching us today!" She said.

  "Dadzawa is an underground hero. All Might and Viridian Storm are limelight brawlers. It'll probably be a rescue hero. There's only one person it could be." Izuku clicked slowly.

  "Who is it?" She asked excitedly.

  Izuku chuckled.

  "Surprise." He said.

  The brunette pouted, but Izuku didn't divulge any more information.

  "Mask." A voice said.

  Izuku turned to Asui.

  "I normally say what's on my mind. You're pretty strange. Ribbit." She said.

  Izuku exhaled sharply, his mouth split into a grin.

  "How so?" He signed. The hero course had been given basic sign language lessons by UA. Yayorozu and Izuku had given anyone who wanted it extra tutoring.

  "You never show your face. I understand it's because of your scars, but we're your classmates. It's like you don't trust anyone except Ochako, Todoroki and Izumi. You also seem to dislike All Might and Viridian Storm. You always seem sour when they enter the same room as you. It might just be the mask though." She said.

  "I can show you my scars if you want, but they're really not pretty. Yagi found out by mistake, and Todoroki and I have similar stories to go with our scars. Ochako coerced me into showing her after the entrance exam." He signed.

  Ochako snorted.

  "I did not!"

  "Did too."

  "I offered you food!"

  "In an elaborate plan to get me to take my mask off."

  "You took it off yourself, without hesitation!"

  "I felt cornered."

  The class watched them bicker playfully for a while, before Tsu spoke up again.

  "You don't have to show us if you don't want to Mask. I was just saying that's what it seemed like."

  "After the festival. I'll take my mask off then." He signed.

  "Are you sure man?" Kirishima asked.

  Izuku just nodded.

  "I trust you all. I've just been nervous as to how you'll react." Izuku signed.

  The bus soon reached its destination, and the students stepped outside a large domed building.

  "Good morning everyone!" A robotic voice said.

  Ochako squeaked when she caught sight of the hero.

  "It's the rescue hero Thirteen!!" She said excitably. "I love Thirteen!!"

  Izuku huffed in amusement.

  Thirteen waved to Ochako, then returned her attention to the class.

  "Welcome to the USJ! You will be doing a series of rescue operations within!"

  The hero led class 1A inside. Izuku looked around the building in awe.

  "It really is just like Universal Studios Japan.." he clicked.

  Aizawa spoke quietly to the space hero, who just held up three fingers. Thirteen turned back to the class.

  "As some of you may know, my quirk is called Black hole. I can suck up and disintegrate anything, making it perfect for rescue operations!"

  Most of the class nodded.

  "However, my quirk can also be used to hurt or kill. I'm sure some of you have powers like that." She continued, looking pointedly at Bakugo.

  "I will be teaching you how to save others with your quirks, instead of hurting them!"

  The class gave the hero a polite round of applause.

  "Alright, so today-"

  The lights flickered, and the fountain spluttered in the courtyard below.

  Izuku's eyes were drawn to a dark purple mass in the centre of the dome below. A lone, pale hand pulled the mist aside, revealing a skinny man covered in severed hands.

  "A portal..?" He clicked.

  "Is this like the entrance exam? The lesson has already started?"

  "No, stay back! Those are real villains!" Aizawa yelled.

  The class took a collective step back, whilst the heroes took a step forwards. The courtyard below slowly filled up with seemingly hundreds of villains.

  "Thirteen, protect the students, get out of here! I'll hold them off!" Aizawa said.

  "No! Your style isn't suited for group fights! You're just going to get yourself killed!" Izuku clicked.

  "You can't be a hero with just one trick kid."

  Eraserhead charged into the fray, while the students ran for the exit, ushered by Thirteen.

  Izuku was clicking out SOS over and over, following Ochako to the doors.

  Their way was blocked by the same purple mass that let the villains get in.

  "Greetings, we are the league of villains. It may be presumptuous of us, but we have let ourselves in to ensure that All Might, the symbol of peace, takes his last breath. The schedule said he would be here.. has there been some kind of change?" The mist man asked.

  Bakugo and Kirishima wasted no time in leaping at the villain. Izuku clicked out a curse, pulling Ochako to the side as the mist surged forwards.

  "I'd almost forgotten, you are still heroes in training. Away with you!"

  They weren't fast enough. Izuku fell through a portal after Ochako, grabbing her arm and pulling her close, wrapping his arms protectively around her.

  "SOS! SOS! SOS!"

  Izuku landed awkwardly on a rocky floor. He smacked his head against a rock, blinking the fuzz away from his eyes.

  "Iz- uh, Mask, are you okay?" Ochako asked.

  Izuku nodded, taking the hand offered to him.

  "Thanks. Where are we?" He asked.

  Ochako looked around, then straight up.

  "I think we're still in the USJ, probably one of the Zones." She said.

  Izuku turned to where the centre of the dome was.

  "We should try to get back. Dad probably needs help, he's not a group fighter. The others are probably in the other zones, but they should be okay." Izuku said.

  Ochako nodded, following the white haired boy towards the centre courtyard.

  They walked around an outcrop, and came face to face with a villain group.

  The villains hesitated for a moment, staring at the two students that casually strolled around the corner.

  Izuku acted, opening his palm and firing several knockback rounds at the group, sending them flying into the wall or off the low cliff. Ochako ran among the group of whoever was left standing stunned, tapping them and tossing them into the air.

  Izuku fired a few knockback rounds into them, and Ochako released her quirk.

  Izuku high foured his friend, smiling behind his mask.

  "Let's keep going." He clicked.

  Izuku led Ochako to the courtyard. To Izuku's surprise, Aizawa had taken out most of the villain horde. Only the leader and the hulking beast remained.

  The villain leader had grabbed Aizawa by the elbow, which was disintegrating.

  "Stay here!"

  Izuku sprinted over, catching the Villain's attention.

  "Oh? Some snot nosed brat trying to stop me?" He sneered, reaching his hand out.

  Izuku stepped to the left, grabbing the Villain's arm and kneeing him in the gut, tossing him away.

  Izuku stepped over to Aizawa quickly.

  "Are you okay?" He asked.

  "I'm fine kid. You need to get out of here!" Aizawa replied.

  Izuku shook his head.

  "Can't. Ochako's over there, and you're hurt. The rest of the students are probably fighting villains in the other zones." Izuku clicked quickly.

  The misty portal man appeared next to the seething leader, who was clawing at his own throat, drawing blood.
 
  "I apologise Tomura Shigaraki. One of the students was able to escape. The heroes will be here soon."

  The Villain's temper tantrum seemed to grow woorse, until it unnervingly stopped.

  "Oh well. Guess it's game over. Time to retreat Kurogiri."

  Izuku frowned. They were leaving? Just like that?

  "But why don't we tarnish All Might's pride by leaving a few corpses?" The villain almost giggled with glee, reaching out towards..

  "OCHAKO!!"
