Hero course training with All Might starts any minute and to say the class is excited would be an understatement.

He enters the room with an extra flare that was... well, extra. "I aaammm... here, coming through the door like a hero!"

"Like a hero?" Tamiko whispers amused.

Everyone cheers in awe and excitement.

"Welcome to the most important class at UA high!" All Might says. "Think of it as heroing 101! Here you will learn the basics of being a pro and what it means to fight in the name of good!" He strikes a pose. "Let's get into it! Today's lesson will pull no punches!"

"Fight training!" Bakugo cheers.

Tamiko flinches from his obnoxious shout in her ear. "Calm down."

"Real combat?!" Midoriya squeaks.

"But one of the keys of a hero isss..." He points to the wall that begins to move out to reveal cases. "...looking good! These were designed for you based on your quirk registration forms and requests you sent in before school started. After you change, come out to ground beta!"

"Yes sir!" everyone cheers.

Everyone grabs their case based on their seat number and heads off to the changing rooms.

Tamiko keeps to herself as she changes. She flicks open the suitcase and stares in awe at her hero suit. No one could tell from a glance at her face, but she loved it.

Pink is her favorite color. It's been her favorite color for as long as she could remember. She's a super girly girl, though it always surprises people when they find out. She didn't know why.

She wanted her hero outfit to be more princessy, but her father disapproved and told her all the cons. She got approval with this outfit even though he didn't want her to add a cape, but he caved.

She enjoyed her hero outfit more than she thought she would. She isn't the biggest fan of black or yellow especially honey mustard yellow. But... it... surprisingly worked though.

Tamiko changes into the fit, impressed with how snuggly and comfortable it is. She leaves as soon as it's on to the battlefield All Might told them to head to.

"Tamiko! Wait up!"

She stops, turning to see Denki running up to her. "Denki."

He smiles. "You remembered my name."

She blinks at him. "You're the only one who's talked to me."

"Oh." He smiles. "Well, I really like your hero suit! Cute and badass. Didn't peg you as a sparkly pink kinda girl."

She looks over his suit as he blushes. "Thanks, but yours could use some work."

So blunt... He sheepishly laughs, rubbing the back of his head. "Yeah, I kinda forgot to send my design in until the last minute..."

"Oh."

"Sooo, what do ya think All Might will have us do?"

"No clue. Fighting each other somehow I guess."

"Hey, guys!" The two look at the new voice to find the spiky red-haired boy. "You guys look good! I'm Kirishima Eijiro!"

"Tamiko."

"Kaminari Denki!"

"The others should be right behind us," Kirishima says, looking back to find the rest of 1-A trailing behind around the corner.

"Get outta the way, extras!" Bakugo shouts, pushing passed everyone to be in front. He shoves by Tamiko with an annoyed grunt.

"Look who's talking, gremlin," Tamiko retorts with an eye-roll.

Bakugo whirls around with a snarl. "You say something?"

"That you're a gremlin extra?" She dead-eyes him.

He gets in her face. "You looking to fucking die?"

"If we were to fight, you'd lose. I wouldn't be the one dying."

Kirishima pulls Bakugo back as Kaminari pulls Tamiko.

"Whoa whoa!" Kirishima shouts as Bakugo roughly shoves him away.

"Don't touch me! Listen, pigtails! Next time you're dead." He stomps off.

Kaminari sighs in relief. "That guy is super scary! Tamiko, you shouldn't make him angry."

She shrugs her shoulders and moves to follow the loud blond. "Not scary. Big headed."

Kaminari snickers as Kirishima sighs.

"What happened?" Mina asks as the rest of the class walks up.

"Bakugo is an asshole," Tamiko answers.

"Yeah, that figures."

They all make it to the exit into the giant fake city area where All Might is standing, waiting for them.

"They say the clothes make the pros, young ladies and gentlemen!" All Might grins. "Behold, you are the proof!"

Everyone admires each other's outfits.

"Mademoiselle! You look fabulous!" a blond boy with a sparkling purple cape compliments her. "I love the added pink sparkle! We match! Isn't this cape trés chic?"

"Very sparkly," Tamiko nods, a little jealous. She wants her cape to be sparkly too.

All Might explains the rules then they all get paired into teams.

Team A: Deku and Uraraka.
Team B: Shoji and Todoroki.
Team C: Mineta and Yaoyorozu.
Team D: Iida and Bakugo.
Team E: Aoyama and Ashido.
Team F: Sato and Koda.
Team G: Jiro and Kaminari.
Team H: Tokoyami and Asui.
Team I: Ojiro and Hakamada.
Team J: Sero and Kirishima.

Heroes vs villains:
A vs D
B vs I
H vs J
G vs C
E vs F

Tamiko looks around for the person with the other 'I' ball, not knowing who Ojiro is.

The blond boy with a large tail walks up to her. "Hey, Hakamada, right?"

She nods. "Ojiro?"

He nods. "Looks like we're paired up this time around."

"Do you mind if I take your measurements real quick?" She pulls a tape measure outta her utility belt.

"Uh, I guess? Go ahead."

She does so quickly. "Done."

He blinks. "That was fast. Who else have you got in your measurements?"

"All the girls and Bakugo."

"When did you do that?!"

"When he was leaning into my face like a fool," she simply replies.

"You're... kinda scary..."

"Thank you." She eyes his tail, wanting to touch it. "Can I–"

~~~

After watching the first match, they had to move to a different location as the building was too wrecked to stay in safely.

Midoriya was sent off to the nurse's as the other three return to the rest of their classmates. Bakugo ignores everything around him, still too in shock and anger, and surprise. All Might reviews their battle with mainly ponytail talking before the next match.

Todoroki and Shoji as heroes vs Ojiro and Tamiko as villains.

Tamiko and Denki were having too much fun with Ojiro's tail to realize that it was their turn.

Tamiko asked Ojiro earlier if she could feel it which made Denki curious as well. Ojiro laughed, bringing his tail around for the two. That's what the two were doing while Ojiro was a bit more focused on watching the first match.

"Team I, you heading out?" All Might announces, shaking the three outta whatever trance they're in with Ojiro's fluff. Ojiro flushes embarrassed.

"Oh, Ojiro, that's us," Tamiko says, bowing to All Might apologetically before the two go to the building.

"D-Do you have a plan?" Ojiro asks as they enter the building to their 'bomb.'

"Ojiro and Hakamada, you have 5 minutes to make a plan," All Might announces to them.

They find the room with the fake bomb.

"I wasn't paying attention to everyone's quirks yesterday," Tamiko admits. "Who are we against again?"

"Well, one has six arms that duplicate and the other has some kind of ice quirk?"

She hums, closing her eyes in thought. She holds out her hands, dropping goop to form two more of her. One clones out another of her and Uraraka. The other does the same but with Jiro. Then again with Tsu. Then Kaminari. Then Bakugo. Then Edgeshot. Then Best Jeanist. Then Ojiro. Then again and again until the room is filled with them.

She then clones the bomb.

The real Ojiro gets overwhelmed by everyone. All the clones leave in groups of all cloned each with a bomb. A few of each remain.

"This should work."

"Wow," Ojiro says. "Incredible... Am I even needed?"

The 5 minutes pass and the whole building immediately gets covered in ice, trapping every single clone and the real two.

The Bakugos are quick to get themselves out of the ice.

It doesn't matter though. The villains already won. No matter how many clones Todoroki takes out and how many bombs he touches, none of them are the real ones. He wastes so much time on the fakes he never even gets close to the real ones.

Tamiko has her clones toy with him for the whole 15 minutes.

All Might announces the villains as the winners.

She snaps all the clones away in an instant.

The four walk back to the rest of their class.

Shoji falls back to walk with Tamiko and Ojiro as his partner is pissed off and not much of a talker.

"That was cool," Shoji comments. "We never stood a chance."

"No, you didn't," Tamiko agrees. "Why didn't you help?"

"My partner didn't want me to," he answers.

"What's your name?"

"Shoji Mezo."

"Tamiko," she responds, eyeing his arms. "Do you mind if I touch your arms?"

"They don't freak you out?"

"No? Why would they? I find all mutant quirks incredibly interesting."

"She's not lying," Ojiro chuckles. "She asked to touch my tail."

"Your tail fluff is very soft," she nods.

"Sure." Shoji holds out his arms, spreading them out evenly.

"Thanks." Her eyes shine though they can't tell as she squishes the webbed skin between each arm. She moves down to the middle stump where a hand would've been. She flinches when it morphs into a hand.

He notices and chuckles. "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you."

She turns to see the last stump as a talking mouth and releases a small excited gasp. She cups the mouth stump with both hands. "Fascinating." He shifts it into an ear then an eyeball. "Can you only do it with the four stumps?"

"My hands stay hands," he explains then shows he can expand the stumps as well.

"You can replicate any body part?" she questions.

No one could tell but his face flushes a bit. "Uh, yes."

"Neat," she nods, pulling her hands away. "Thank you for letting me sate my curiosity."

"Y-You're welcome."

~~~

"The MVP of this battle is young Hakamada!" All Might announces.

"Obviously."

She listens to the beginning of what her sensei was saying but gets distracted by her bird classmate. She really wants to feel his head. Is it soft hair, feathers, or a mix of both? His arms are crossed and his head is angled to the ground as he listens to All Might scold Todoroki about utilizing partnership.

"Good job, Hakamada," All Might says, breaking her out of her trance. "Alright! Next teams!"

~~~

Everyone goes through their battles as the end of class comes to a close.

All Might blows a whistle. "That's a wrap!"

All Might leaves in a rush after a short speech and everyone mutters in awe at how fast he is. The class then decides to head off to change back into their normal uniforms to complete the rest of the school day.

~~~

The rest of the day passes, and Midoriya doesn't come back until the last few minutes of the final class.

Everyone begins to introduce themselves to him. Tamiko makes sure to remember each name. She decides to walk up as well.

"Call me Tamiko, not Hakamada. That's my dad. I'd ask to measure you, but you're not in the best condition."

"Do you need everyone's measurements to clone them?" Kirishima asks.

She nods.

"When'd you get Bakugo?" Denki asks.

"When he was leaning in my face," she answers. "No one notices."

"Where is Kacchan?"

"Oh, he left a little bit ago."

He races away without a word.

"Well, get my measurements!" Kirishima grins. "It'll be nice to know them, so I can see my improvement!"

"Me too, mademoiselle."

Everyone ends up wanting to know their measurements. Only two she didn't get were Midoriya and Todoroki.

"Tamiko."

She should really get her teachers too.

"Tamiko!"

She looks up to find everyone looking at her. "Huh?"

"If you need everyone's measurements to use your quirk, how do you know Edgeshot and Best Jeanist?" Mina asks.

She blinks. "They're... friends... of my parents."

"Whoa! That's so cool!" Denki and Mina shout.

"They were high school friends."

"That means your parents went to this school too, right?" Sero asks.

"Yeah, they aren't heroes though." She then notices his elbows as his sleeves are rolled up.

Sero notices and chuckles. "You're really interested in mutations, right?" He holds his elbows out in her direction. "Go for it."

She gets a bit sheepish. "Sorry. I didn't realize I was so obvious." She pokes his elbow. "Is it bone?"

"Yup."

She tilts her head, finding no space where the tape comes out. "Your skin splits when you use it? Does it hurt? Can they get jammed?"

"It does, no, and no."

"Hmm. Okay." She nods a thanks in reply. Her phone bings, making her look at it. She reads that her father is here to pick her up. "My dad is here. I'm leaving."

"I'll walk with you," Denki grins, shuffling his bag over his shoulder.

"No thanks," Tamiko responds, leaving the room.

"Aw, come on!" He follows behind her anyway.

A few of their other classmates make that their exit as well.

Shoji, Aoyama, and Ojiro catch up to walk beside them.

Tamiko sighs, typing out a quick message to her father to hide his face. "Fine."

The boys chatter about their battles as they walk out the gates.

Denki whistles as soon as his eyes land on the fancy car. "Wow, your dad must be loaded!"

Tamiko looks down. "Yeah... I guess so."

"Yeah, such a flashy vehicle, magnifique!" Aoyama approves.

"You said Best Jeanist and Edgeshot are your parents' friends? Are your parents a support gear business?" Shoji asks.

She shakes her head. "Sorry, gotta go. See you tomorrow." She makes a quick escape, jumping into her dad's car.

"Looks like you've made friends," Tsunagu smiles. "Are they your classmates?"

She nods. "Yeah. The one with the tail was my partner today, and we went against the guy with the many arms plus another guy."

"Sounds like you had fun." He starts the car and takes off toward his office.

She thinks for second. "Yeah, I guess I did."

~~~...~~~

Jiro, Kami, Ojiro, Kiri, and Aoyama are going to be her besties.

All the 1A blondes gotta stick together except Bakugo he can suck it. Our girl blond is going to bully the blond bomber and viceversa.
