The Hero Course Experience


Kyoro was waiting at the front door of his home with his new school uniform.

He wore a gray blazer with dark green accents on the cuffs and shoulders, a white dress shirt with a red tie, and black slacks. On his back was a black and white backpack.

He was waiting on Min Min as the others stood on the side. She ran down the hall and stopped. She wore the same blazer, a white dress shirt, red tie, but a dark green skirt, and black knee-high socks. She didn't have on her hat and her hair was still in its ponytail, yet her bangs were still hanging down. She also had a backpack that was grey and red.

She walked over two Kyoro and slipped on light grey trainers before adjusting the straps on her backpack. "Ready to go?" She asked Kyoro. "Have been for 20 minutes." Kyoro answered rolling his eyes. "Shut up, let's just go." Min Min said nudging his side. "We're off!" Min Min exclaimed.

"See you later!" Kiriyu shouted. "See ya'." Akane said with a wave. "Have a nice day." Elisio said with a smile. "Leave." Ryukei said with a groan.

The two left and started making their way to U.A. High School.

~•~

Kyoro had split up with Min Min and was walking through the halls of U.A. He saw the door for his designated class, Class 1-A, and that it was open.

He walked up to it and saw Izuku talking to a tall male with dark blue hair. Kyoro stood at the door with a bored gaze before hearing someone behind him.

"Oh, that curly hair! You're the plain-looking... one?!" The girl with brown hair said in shock. Izuku and Kyoro turned around and looked at the new arrival. "Th-Th-There's two?!" She asked in a panic. She began pointing at the two of them. "You're the girl that let me fall." Kyoro said squinting his eyes. "B-But I caught... you?" The girl said before she held her head. "I-I'm the one who you caught... and the one that s-saved you." Izuku said timidly. Kyoro walked away and to a seat by the windows, since the conversation didn't involve him.

He noticed he was two seats behind Bakugo and sighed. Kyoro also felt a few gazes on him and glanced to his side. About half the class was focused on him making him turn their way. They all darted their heads back making Kyoro squint his eyes again.

"Go somewhere else if you want to play at being friends. This is the hero course." Kyoro heard a adult male say. He couldn't see them. He saw a male with long black hair, a beige scarf, and in a black jumpsuit, step out of a yellow sleeping bag. "Okay, it took eight seconds before you were quiet. Time is limited. You kids are not rational enough." The man stated. 'He's the teacher...' Kyoro inferred. "I'm your homeroom teacher, Shota Aizawa. Nice to meet you." Aizawa greeted.

"It's kind of sudden, but put this on and go out onto the field." He ordered pulling a blue jumpsuit out of his sleeping bag.

"That one better not be mine." Kyoro muttered.

"A quirk assessment test?!" Most of the kids asked. They were all in their own blue jumpsuits. Consisting of a blue short-sleeve jacket with a white 'A' on the stomach area and a 'U' on the chest leading to the back. On the sleeves were white squares with red outlines. The blue pants of the jumpsuit had two vertical white lines, continuing the legs of the letter 'A'.

"What about the entrance ceremony? The orientation?" The brown haired gi— Ochako. I think you know this is tiring...

"If you're going to become a hero, you don't have time for such leisurely events." Aizawa started making the kids murmur. "U.A.'s selling point is how unrestricted its school restrictions are. That's also how the teachers run their classes. You kids have been doing these since junior high, too, right?" Aizawa asked. "Physical fitness test where you weren't allowed to use your quirks. The country still uses averages taken from results from students not using their quirks. It's not rational. Well, the Ministry of Education is procrastinating." He ranted. "Bakugo, you finished... second of the practical exam, right? In junior high, what was your best result for the softball throw?" Aizawa asked.

"67 meters..." Bakugo answered with a bit of shock, for not being first. "Then, try doing it with your Quirk." Aizawa ordered.

Bakugo was now in a white circle on the field. "You can do whatever you want as long as you stay in the circle." Aizawa said tossing him a softball. "Hurry up. Give it all you got." He added.

Bakugo stretched a bit before reeling back ha
Is right arm. A threw the ball with an explosion from his hand, a cloud of dust picking up behind him. "DIE!" He shouted.

'Die?' Kyoro pondered.

"Know your own maximum first. That is the most rational way to form the foundation of a hero." Aizawa said before showing a phone with the numbers, 705.2. Everyone gasped at the number. People began to talk about how far it was and how the test would be fun. "You have three years to become a hero. Will you have such childish attitudes like that the whole time? All right. Whoever comes in last place in all eight tests will be judged to have no potential and will be punished with expulsion." Aizawa states with a smirk.

"Huh?!" The kids shouted in shock. "We're free to do what we want about the circumstances of our students. Welcome to U.A.'s hero course!" Aizawa said lifting his hair out of his face, his smirk never leaving it.

'I call bullshit. But, I can only do my best in response.' Kyoro thought stretching his arms.

Test 1: 50-meter Dash

Kyoro was crouched down beside a girl with long dark green hair, Tsuyu Asui. A robot shot a blank and the two took off.

Kyoro began running at full speed while Tsuyu hopped. Kyoro was speeding off and crossed the finish line.

"3.00 seconds." Another robot announced. "5.58 seconds." The robot said after the girl passed the line. Kyoro gave a nod towards Tsuyu who did the same before the two went their separate ways.

Test 2: Grip Strength

Kyoro held the machine in his hand with his eyes closed.

'What can I do...' Kyoro thought. 'I don't think there is anything...' Kyoro thought before clenching the grip of the machine. He looked down and read 56kg. 'That's humbling...' He thought with a sad sigh.

Test 3: Standing Long Jump

Kyoro stood in front of the sand box with a face of contemplation. Suddenly he grew determined and created three seed bombs while throwing his arms under him. He flew over the sand box and landed with a roll.

'Cleared it... nice.' He thought with a smile.

Test 4: Repeated Sidesteps

Kyoro was bouncing between two large mushrooms at blurring speeds. Suddenly one disintegrated making Kyoro fly to the ground.

'GAIA!' Kyoro shouted in his head. 'Sorry. But I couldn't resist.' She said stifling a laugh.

Test 5: Ball Throw

Ochako got infinity, and Izuku got 705.3 at the cost of a broken finger.

Kyoro stepped up to the circle before being tossed a ball. Kyoro threw the ball up into the air a couple of times before a flurry of petals flew out of his arms and swirled around him. Kyoro reeled his arm back before the petals surrounded the ball. He threw the ball before it flew off at Mach speeds. Kyoro held the pose a bit longer until he heard Aizawa's phone beep.

He held it up and revealed another infinity, the other students gasping as Kyoro shook his hand a bit. 'I easily could've tossed it and got the same result since I just made it fly... I just wanted to look powerful, but that kind of hurt.' He thought walking back over to the others.

~•~

The test were over and Kyoro was panting as Izuku fell down beside him. Kyoro crouched down and helped him up.

"You okay?" He asked. "I'll be fine." Izuku answered as the two walked over to the others.

"Okay, I'll quickly tell you the results. The total is simply the marks you got from each test. It's a waste of time to explain the results all at once." Aizawa said before pressing a button on the phone, a hologram being projected.

Kyoro and Izuku read their placings with sad faces. Izuku came in last, but Kyoro came in tenth.

"By the way, I was lying about the expulsion." Aizawa announced bluntly. "It was a rational deception to draw out the upper limits of your quirks." He said with a smug toothy grin.

'I CALLED IT!' Kyoro shouted in his head. 'You're yelling.' Gaia commented. 'Sorry, sorry. Forgot you're in here...' Kyoro said with a chuckle. 'I have other things to do, asshole.' Gaia responded.

"Of course that was a lie. It should've been obvious if you just thought it through." Momo, A girl with black hair and a spiky ponytail commented. 'I didn't notice...' Most of the class thought.

"With that, we're done here. There are handouts with the curriculum and such in the classroom so when you get back, look over them." Aizawa said walking away. He stopped in front of Izuku and Kyoro holding out a slip. "Midoriya. Have the old lady fix you in the nurse's office." He ordered before staring to walk off again. "Tomorrow will be filled with even more rigorous tests. Prepare yourself." Aizawa added before finally leaving.

~•~

Kyoro exited the building in his uniform and walked to the gate of U.A.

Seconds later Min Min ran up beside him.

"Wha?! H-How are you always getting places before me?!" She asked in shock. "I think you're just slow." Kyoro said starting to walk again. "I'm sick of you insulting me. You're really making use of that bet last year." Min Min said with a glare as they walked.

"Hey, you said I wouldn't get over thirty, and I did. So now, you can hurt me in anyway, shape, or form." Kyoro said with a smile. "Tch. That ends tomorrow, and you know what that means..." Min Min said with a growl. "I'm just gonna make the most of it." Kyoro said with a shrug. "I can't even call you a name..." Min Min said with a sigh.

~•~

The next day...

"I am..." Kyoro heard from his seat behind Izuku. "...coming though the door like a normal person." All Might shouted sliding open the door.

"It's All Might!" Kaminari said in awe. "Wow, he really is a teacher!" Kirishima commented. "That's a costume from the Silver Age, isn't it?" Tsuyu added. "It's style is so different, it's giving me goosebumps." Ojiro said.

"I teach Hero Basic Training. It is a subject where you train in different ways to learn the basics of being a hero. You'll take the most units of this subject! Let's get right into it! This is what we'll do today—" All Might said before pulling out a card. "Combat Training!" He exclaimed.

"Combat..." Bakugo said enthusiastically. "...Training" Izuku finished.

"And to go with that are these!" All might said as shelves came out of the right wall, cases with numbers on them filled the spaces. "Costumes made based on your quirk registrations and requests you sent in before school started." All Might explained.

"Oh no..." Kyoro thought in a panic. 'I didn't register my quirk!' He thought putting his hands on his head. 'They've seen your quirk already.' Gaia responded. 'But, shouldn't I keep the information about this to a minimum?' Kyoro asked. 'For now, yes.' Gaia answered.

"After you change, gather in Ground Beta!" All Might ordered.

"They say the clothes make the man, young men and ladies." All Might started from the street of a mock city. "Be fully aware... From now on..." He said as the class walked through a tunnel. "You are heroes!" All might shouted as they stepped in front of him.

"That's great, everyone. You all look cool!" All Might said gazing at everyone's costumes. "Now, shall we begin, you zygotes?" All might asked.

Izuku and Kyoro were running through the tunnel. The two stepped out and into the light with their costumes.

"Oh, Deku?" Ochako said turning around. "Uraraka!" Izuku said before he and Kyoro started to blush. "That looks cool! Y-You too, Midoriya. Really down to earth, you two." Ochako commented.

"I should've written what I wanted... Mine ended up being a skintight bodysuit. It's embarrassing." She explained. Kyoro was adverting his gaze while Izuku just covered his mouth in embarrassment.

"Now, it's time for combat training!" All Might started. "Teacher!" Iida, the male with dark blue hair said from a white suit of armor. "This is a battle center from the entrance exam, so will we be conducting urban battles again?" Iida asked. "No, we're going to move ahead two steps! Most of the time, fighting villains takes place outside, but if you look at the total numbers, atrocious villains appear indoors at a higher rate. Imprisonment, house arrest, backroom deals— In this society filled with heroes, truly intelligent villains hide in the shadows! For this class, you'll be split into villains and heroes and fight 2-on-2 indoor battles." All Might explained.

"Without basic training?" Tsuyu asked. "This is a battle to understand those basics! However, the key this time is that there's no robot you can just beat up." All Might answered. "How will wins and losses be determined?" Momo asked, her costume being a red leotard with white accents. "Can we beat them up anyway?" Bakugo asked. "Will the punishment be expulsion like with Mr.Aizawa?" Ochako asked. "How shall we be split up?" Iida asked. "Isn't this cape crazy?" Aoyama asked.

"I'll answer all of your question!" All Might said with a little annoyance. "Now listen here. The situation is that the villains have hidden a nuclear weapon somewhere in their hideout. The heroes are trying to dispose of that. The heroes need to catch the villains or get the nuclear weapon back in the allotted time. The villains need to protect the nuclear weapon for the whole time or catch the heroes." All Might explained. "The situation feels very American!" Izuku commented. "Teams and opponents will be determined by drawing lots!" All Might added holding up a yellow box.

"They're being decided so haphazardly?" Iida asked in shock. "Pros often have to crest makeshift teams with heroes from other agencies, so maybe that's why?" Izuku informed. "I see. The discernment to look ahead... Please excuse my rudeness!" Iida apologized. "It's fine. Let's do this quickly!" All Might said turning and giving a fist pump.

"Wow, it must be fate! I'm counting on you!" Ochako said enthusiastically to Izuku.

"Wait, if that's Midoriya..." Kyoro heard before turning around. He looked up and saw Momo Yaoyorozu looking down at him. The two stared at each other before Kyoro brought up his hand. "Pleasure to be working with you." He said with a small smile, a faint blush on his cheeks. "You as well." Momo said shaking his hand with a smile.

"Alright! The first teams to fight will be... these guys!" All Might shouted holding up two spheres, one black with a white letter D, and one white with a black letter A. "Team A will be the heroes, and Team D will be the villains. Everyone else, head toward the monitor room." All Might ordered.

Kyoro felt someone glaring at him and saw Bakugo giving him the stink eye.

"W-Wrong one..." Kyoro said pointing to Izuku. Bakugo flinched in embarrassment before stomping away.

"Well, this cant be too bad." Kyoro said walking after his classmates.

~•~

'You stand corrected.' Gaia said as Kyoro watched Izuku get rolled out of the building in a stretcher.

"A-All right, next up is Team B and Team C. Team C are the heroes and Team B are the villains. Please head out to the mock city." All Might ordered. Kyoro looked around to find his opponents and saw a male with half of his body covered in ice looking at him. The two stared at each other for what felt like minutes before Momo tapped Kyoro's shoulder.

"S-Sorry. Let's go." Kyoro said shaking his head. The four left the building and towards the mock city.

Kyoro and Momo were standing outside of a different building than the last due to the severe damages.

"First things, first. Do you know our opponents quirks?" Kyoro asked. "Todoroki has created ice before during the quirk assessment test. I haven't seen Shoji use his quirk's full abilities." Momo answered. "Is there anyway you can give a rundown of your quirk?" Kyoro asked with a hand on his chin.

"I can create inanimate object through the lipids in my body as long as I know the chemical make up of the item." Momo answered. "Woah! That's cool! My quirk is similar!" Kyoro said before created a hibiscus flower in his hand. Momo awed for a bit before shaking her head with a smile. "Does this information give you a plan?" Momo asked.

"Hmm. Ice... Ice... I assume he'll try to restrict our movement. So I'll tell you when to jump when we get inside. Afterward, you should make ice climbing shoes so you can walk on the ice he creates. Depending on the way he attacks, I'll give you a suggestion on a countermeasure." Kyoro said before hearing All Might in his ear piece.

"Now, let's start the second indoor person-to-person combat training match!" All Might shouted, a 15 minute timer starting in the monitor room.

"Alright. Let's move." Kyoro started walking in the building. Momo followed in before seeing Kyoro hold his hand out and touch the wall. "Jump..." Kyoro started before Momo saw a glistening shine down the hallway. "Now!" Kyoro shouted hopping upward, Momo doing the same as Ice covered the floor and walls around them. Momo held Kyoro's shoulder before creating a pair of ice climbing boots. She slipped them on and firmly placed her feet on the ground.

"Ready?" Kyoro asked. "Don't you need a pair?" Momo asked. "I should be fine. I can maneuver on ice." Kyoro said taking step forward. "I wasn't able to pinpoint their location before the ice covered the walls. All I got was that they aren't on this floor through the third. That leaves the fourth and fifth." Kyoro said as he walked down the hallway. "How did you do that?" Momo asked. "Sound waves when they speak." Kyoro said as they reached the stairwell. The two slowly walked up the stairwell, Momo pacing herself due to the boots. The two made their way up the stairs and to the fourth floor.

As the two exited the stairwell, the two saw Todoroki, the boy whose body was half-covered in ice, standing menacingly at the end of the corridor.

"For now, we play passive-aggressive. We analyze until we gather enough information to apprehend him." Kyoro said before crouching. "Right." Momo said before creating a bo staff. Kyoro slammed his hands into the ice as Momo waited for Todoroki to make a move.

With the step of a foot, Todoroki summoned more ice that shot at the two. As it was about to hit the two, large roots burst from the in front of them. "Follow my lead." Kyoro started before dashing at Todoroki. Momo started to do the same before seeing Kyoro created two seeds in each hand. He threw them forward before they exploded in a flash of light, blinding Todoroki. Momo caught on and created one of her own flash-bangs. She rolled it toward Todoroki as Kyoro created a flurry of petals around him.

Todoroki covered the flash-bang in ice making it spread through the ice and the whole hallway, blinding everyone. After a few seconds, Todoroki recovered and saw Momo and Kyoro in a daze. He sent ice towards the two before suddenly more roots burst through them and towards Todoroki. Todoroki sidestepped in shock before seeing Kyoro was rubbing his eyes with one hand and his other was through the ice again. Todoroki decided to send two waves of ice that trailed onto the walls and at both Momo and Kyoro.

Kyoro grabbed Momo and threw himself to the floor. The ice on the wall erupted and crashed into each other. Kyoro looked up and saw the ice barely missed the two. He looked down and saw Momo with her eyes closed, holding onto him. Kyoro used his feet to kick the ice a couple times and broke it. Momo opened her eyes as Kyoro helped her stand up.

"We need to get close and overwhelm him. Stay behind me and read another flash-bang." Kyoro said as he and Todoroki stared at each other. "Let's go." Kyoro said before creating more petals that surrounded him. Todoroki sent a wave of ice but watched as they began to get sliced by the swirling petals rapidly. Todoroki clicked his tongue before watching Kyoro dash at him. Todoroki crouched down and created a wall of ice between him, Kyoro and Momo. Kyoro didn't stop running and reeled his arm back. He threw his fist forward as a large log sprouted from his knuckles, smashing through the ice and into Todoroki.

Kyoro hopped over the excess ice with Momo behind him. Kyoro ran past the dazed Todoroki before seeing him about to freeze Momo's feet. Kyoro turned his upper body around and threw a vine around Momo, reeling it in after making Todoroki miss. Kyoro caught Momo and continued to run, hearing Todoroki stand up behind him and give chase.

Kyoro ran up the next stairwell before jumping off the wall and gaining more speed. He flew out of the stairwell but saw three arms ready to clothesline him. Thinking quickly, Kyoro threw his feet forward and kicked off of Shoji's arms. He flew backward and into an unsuspecting Todoroki making him hit the wall. Kyoro quickly began running again and at Shoji. Suddenly, Kyoro's feet were incased in ice making him come to an abrupt stop, Momo flying out of his arms with a squeal. Kyoro fell to his face but quickly created a large mushroom and threw it under Momo. She bounced upward and stumbled onto her feet.

"Get the weapon!" Kyoro shouted breaking out of the ice and facing the two 'villains'. Momo quickly nodded before a wave of ice got past Kyoro, making his eyes widen. Kyoro threw his arm back making a vine slam into the wave of ice, yet the ice trailed up the vine and onto his arm. Kyoro created petals and threw them towards Momo just before he was tackled by Shoji.

Momo continued to run at the nuclear weapon at the end of the corridor as the flurry of petals Kyoro sent surrounded her. Todoroki clicked his tongue again and sent a larger wave of ice. Kyoro struggled against Shoji and slammed his head against the ice on the ground and sent a large wave of vines after it.

"Frenzy Plant!" He shouted before the vines darted towards the ice. The vines began lashing around and destroying the ice covered floor. The vines intercepted the wave of ice and protected Momo in time for her to touch the weapon.

"Hero team... wins!" All Might shouted making Todoroki stop and pant before glaring forward. Shoji released his hold on Kyoro and stood up, Kyoro rubbing his bloody forehead. Todoroki glared at the ground as he crouched, placing his left hand against the ice. The ice began to melt away turning into boiling water and soon evaporating.

In the monitor room...

"He's so strong!" Kirishima said looking at the monitor, a tab showing Kyoro holding his bleeding head from the ground.

Bakugo stared at Kyoro and Todoroki in shock, his eyes widened in an emotion he couldn't describe.

"W-Wow!" Sato said in awe. "Who knew his quirk had so many uses?" Kaminari commented. "Wasn't he at the top of the entrance exam? As expected." Tsuyu added.

"All right, everyone gather round for a review of the second match. Next, we will begin the third match!" All Might said as Bakugo frowned in deep thought. "Yes, sir!" The class shouted as Bakugo but his lip in anger.

~•~

Everyone but Izuku was back at the entrance of the mock city.

"Good work everyone! We didn't have any major injuries other than the two Midoriya's!" All Might exclaimed as everyone looked at Kyoro who was in the back, said boy holding his head while staring into space. "You guys took this on seriously! You all did a good job for your first training!" All Might said giving a thumbs up.

"To have such a proper class after Mr.Aizawa's class... it's kind of anticlimactic..." Tsuyu commented as everyone deadpanned. "We're free to have proper classes, as well! Well then, I must review the results with Young Midoriya Number 1! Change and return..." All Might took off. "...to the classroom!" He shouted.

"All Might's amazing!" Kaminari said watching All Might speed off. "Why was he in such a hurry?" Ojiro asked. "Someone should help Midoriya walk." Tsuyu added before the class watched Kyoro trip over his own feet.

Kyoro was sitting in his seat with an ice pack over his head, courtesy of Momo. He heard the door to the classroom slid open and saw Izuku.

"Oh, Midoriya's here! The green one!" Kirishima announced. "Good work! Man, I didn't know what you were saying during that match, but you were fired up!" He added as a couple of classmates greeted him.

"You're too loud." Tokoyami said sitting on his desk. "Tokoyami! That desk is not a chair. Get off immediately." Iida scolded. "It's not that big a deal, is it?" Jiro asked. "Wha—?!" Iida let out. "What's with those hands, anyway?" Ojiro asked. "You people... I cannot condone actions that disrespect the desks, the great men and women who are our upperclassmen once used!" Iida shouted. "You're too loud..." Kyoro commented to their left. Ochako and Kaminari walked in carrying textbooks before Ochako ran over to Izuku asking about his injuries. Izuku saw Kyoro with an ice pack on his head and called out to him.

"Kyoro, are you okay?" Izuku asked. "Oh, I'm fine. Just a concussion." Kyoro answered taking ice pack of for a bit. "Um, where's... Kacchan?" Izuku asked. "Uh, he left a few minutes ago." Kyoro answered before Izuku ran off.

"O... Okay..." Kyoro said before placing his ice pack back on his head.

~•~

Kyoro was now at his residence, and in his bedroom.

He was lying on his bed with Kiriyu and Elisio with him, watching a movie on a TV beside his bed. The three sat in silence before Min Min busted in with an angry face.

"The bet's over!" She shouted before her arms coiled into springs and grabbed Kyoro. Kyoro screamed as he was dragged away.

"She would help him?" Elisio asked taking popcorn from a bowl. "Nope!" Kiriyu answered happily, her tail swinging from side to side.
