Chapter Four: Battle

  Izuku and Toshi blinked into UA, each heading towards their own destinations.

  "Have a good day Izuku.." Toshi said, a smile plastered on his face.

  "Why did you say it like that?" Izuku asked.

  Toshinori just chuckled to himself and walked away.

  "I wonder who our heroics teacher is going to be.." a yellow haired kid- Kaminari, Izuku thought- said.

  "Whoever it is, it's got to be a pro hero!" The pink girl said.

  A distant thud thud thud thud thud drew their attention.

  Izuku's eyes widened fractionally as the door was flung open.

  "I AM HERE!!!" All Might declared.

  The hero leaned in through the doorway, his signature smile on his face. He scanned the classroom, his grin growing fractionally wider when he saw Izuku's shocked expression.

  "It's All Might!!" The redhead exclaimed.

  "He's our teacher??" Uraraka said.

  The muscular hero strutted through the door dramatically, spinning to face the class once he reached the teacher's desk.

  "Greetings fledgling heroes! I will be your heroics teacher this year! You can think of this class as hero-ing 101!" He said.

  All Might reached behind himself, bringing out a card with big bold letters on it.

  "And today's lesson will involve... Battle training!! However, for this lesson, you will require these!"

  All Might pulled out a remote, pressing a button and making the wall open up with several cases inside.

  "Grab the case with your number on and change into the costumes within! Meet me at ground Beta, quickly!" All Might sprinted from the room, racing down the corridor.

  Izuku blinked the suitcase into his hand, then blinked down to the male changing rooms.

  He blinked out of most of his clothes, then opened the case.

  Izuku's hero costume was quite simple. It was made up of a dark green jumpsuit with black accents. The black accents on his suit were lined by dark purple. Izuku had a metal mouth guard that doubled as a gas mask and hid his face.

  Izuku kept his bright red boots, but had special metal shoes made for them to strengthen any kicks he would make during combat. The costume was finished by a dark green cowl with 'bunny ears' and long white gloves that reached his elbows.

  The greenette changed quickly and blinked to ground Beta long before anyone else entered the changing rooms.

  "Toshi! You never told me you were teaching our heroics classes!!!" Izuku said.

  The skinny man laughed, admiring Izuku's costume. "I wanted it to be a surprise. Your costume looks amazing!"

  Izuku grinned, taking a stance.

  "It's more comfortable and easy to move in than I thought it would be. Anyway, what are we doing this lesson?" Izuku asked.

  Toshi smiled, crossing his arms.

  "Not telling. I don't want to give you an advantage-" Izuku snorted at that. "- and I don't want to explain it twice."

  All Might buffed up just as the voices of the class reached the duo.

  "Speak of the devils.." he said.

  Izuku was approached by Uraraka and Iida.

  "Wow Midoriya, your costume is so cool! You look like a real hero already!" Uraraka said.

  Iida nodded his ascent. "Indeed. It's very practical, and you look the very image of a hero."

  Izuku thanked them, then blushed behind his mask and mouth guard, noticing Uraraka's costume.

  "I should have been more specific with what I wanted..." She said, scratching her head. "Mine turned out to be skin-tight.."

  Iida was quick to encourage her.

  "That is not a bad thing! It makes it harder for anyone to grab you by the clothing, and accessories will not impede your movement either!" He said, chopping his armoured hands.

  Izuku hastily nodded in agreement, turning to admire Iida's armour.

  "You look like a futuristic Knight!" Izuku said.

  Iida chuckled behind his armour, reaching up to adjust his glasses, forgetting they weren't there.

  "This kind of design has been passed down in my family for generations! My own armour is in fact based on my older brother's version, as I aspire to be like him!" He said proudly.

  All Might, now with the entire class present, cleared his throat.

  "They say the clothes make the pros ladies and gentlemen, and you all look amazing!" He said, striking a heroic pose.

  "Now." He continued. "Today's lesson will be an indoor battle trial. You will all be split into pairs using lots, and will be facing eachother in 2 Vs 2 battles. One team will be the heroes, the other the villains! The heroes objective is to secure the weapon within the Villain's base before time runs out. The villains must do everything in their power to prevent that! Any questions?" He asked.

  "Will there be a threat of expulsion?" Uraraka asked nervously.

  "How badly can we kill the other team?" Bakugo asked.

  "Isn't this cape amazing?" A blonde boy asked.

  All Might trembled in annoyance.

  "My quirk isn't super hearing you know!" He said.

  The hero then pulled out a pair of boxes.

  "Now, here are the teams..!"

  Izuku was paired with Uraraka.

  *Okay, calm down, we need to work together!!* He told himself.

  "Wow, it must be fate!" Uraraka said obliviously.

  They were the hero team. Bakugo and Iida were the villain team.

  Bakugo glared at Izuku as he entered the building. Izuku stared determinedly back at him.

  Izuku and Uraraka were given 5 minutes to memorize the floor plan and think of a strategy.

  "My quirk will come in handy for laying a trap for Bakugo. He will almost certainly rush off ahead, leaving Iida to guard the bomb. If we can trap Bakugo, then we can go 2 Vs 1 on Iida. Is that alright?" Izuku asked.

  Uraraka nodded, a bright smile on her face.

  "Sounds good to me!"

 
  Five minutes later and they were stalking through the corridors of the second floor.

  Izuku took out his spool of capture tape, making a big loop and handing the other side of the loop to Uraraka.

  "The moment he shows up, let go." Izuku said.

  His teammate nodded, watching Izuku carefully.

  Izuku took both ends of the loop, crossing them and closing his eyes.

  *Bakugo...*

  Izuku opened his eyes and tugged hard, tightening the loop and tying a knot in the capture tape.

  Bakugo looked down at his restrained arms angrily.

  "Huh??"

  "Bakugo has been captured!" All Might announced through the speakers.

  The blonde spun around, his palms crackling angrily.

  "Deku you piece of-!"

  Izuku grabbed Uraraka and Blinked away to the fourth floor.

  The duo continued their search of the base, peering into every room, until they heard a voice from further down the hall.

  "I am extremely evil.. muahahaha!!" Iida's voice echoed.

  Uraraka nearly laughed loudly, but muffled herself with her hands.

  Izuku crept down the grey hallway, peeking into the room at the end. Iida was stood in the very middle, monologuing to himself.

  Uraraka crouched next to Izuku.

  "Can you do the same thing again? Use my capture tape!" She whispered.

  Izuku paused, then nodded, taking the tape from the brunette.

  "I'm going to Blink to him and capture him, while you grab the bomb. Touch my shoulder!" Izuku whispered back, standing and twisting the tape into a loop again.

  Once his partner had a hold of his shoulder Izuku Blinked behind Iida, tightening the loop of tape and tying a knot in it. Uraraka's grip left his shoulder as she reached for the weapon.

  "Iida has been captured, and the heroes have secured the bomb! They achieve a perfect victory!" All Might exclaims.

  Iida looked down, only just noticing the capture tape wrapped around him.

  "Huh??" He asks.

  Izuku pulls the tape from his friend.

  "You did a good job Iida. If Bakugo had actually worked with you then you would have stood a chance." He said.

  Iida sighed, chuckling to himself.

  "I'll admit, I didn't expect you to defeat Bakugo so quickly, and I didn't even notice I'd been bested until All Might announced the end. You are both exemplary heroes!"
