Battle 1

School was much more normal than Mizuki was expecting. Other than the fact that the teachers were professional heroes, everything was unbearably normal. Well, it would be for the morning at least, their hero training was delegated to the afternoon.

All of Mizuki's classes had a lot of inclusion for herself with each assignment being written in braille. Though due to the fact that she hadn't read braille in about 2 years, since she was at Somei, she wasn't the best at it anymore, so it took much longer to do assignments, which would have already been the case due to how long it takes to read braille.

In any case, she didn't get a lot done per class, and would undoubtedly have to have Toga just read hers rather than go through all those booklets over many hours.

The afternoon, however, held the class that everyone had been waiting for, the class that makes hero schools different from just any old high school.

Basic hero training. Not exactly the most exciting name, but it riled up everyone in the classroom all the same.

'I wonder if I'll get to fight someone.' Mizuki smirked, as she felt the presence of a somewhat familiar giant marching his way toward the classroom.

"I AM..." The giant man started while he opened the door, leaning inside almost flamboyantly, "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"

'Anything but normal.' Mizuki mused as he continued his march toward the teacher's podium.

"Wow, I can't believe All Might is really teaching us!" A voice called out, Mizuki didn't care to identify who.

"That's his silver age costume! It's so retro!" Another voice she didn't care to identify explained.

'Thanks for the conveniently placed information. Explains why he has a cape at least.' Mizuki identified the cape that lifted up behind him with the slightest trace of a breeze.

"HERO BASIC TRAINING, THE CLASS THAT'LL MOULD YOU ALL INTO THE HEROES OF THE FUTURE! It's also worth a hell of a lot of credits." All Might tacked on, "NO TIME TO DILLY-DALLY, TODAY'S ACTIVITY IS BATTLE TRAINING!"

Many were excited at this prospect, though some were also very nervous based on how they shrunk in their seats at the idea.

"AND FOR THAT, YOU'LL NEED YOUR HERO COSTUMES! All made in accordance with the quirk registry and the request forms you filled out." All Might said as the class exploded in excitement, Sparky perhaps a bit too literally.

"AFTER YOU CHANGE, MEET ME IN GROUND BETA!"

A wave of affirmation answered All Might as he blitzed away from the class at a speed Mizuki could barely sense. His heavy footsteps had made it easier though, if he were any lighter he would have practically vanished from Mizuki's senses.

Mizuki grabbed her costume and walked along with Toga to the changing rooms.

"So, what does yours look like?" Toga asked her. She knew what she was doing.

"You know the answer to that question." Mizuki had the bag holding her costume over her shoulder.

Toga giggled, "Well what did you ask for?" Toga asked a separate question.

"You also know the answer to that one. You had to write it down for me." Mizuki shrugged off the question.

"Aw, come on, I am just trying to make conversation!" Toga smiled widely, something Mizuki now realised was stretched across her face much further than any other person, except maybe All Might. It was cute.

"All of our conversations eventually get to blood."

"Ya, because blood is great!"

"Does she always talk about blood?" A third voice cut in. Kyouka Jiro if Mizuki remembers correctly. She was on the shorter side, still taller than her like almost every other person in class, and had weirdly long earlobes. Something which Mizuki assumed was part of her quirk.

"Almost exclusively, but there is a personality under there I swear." Mizuki joked.

"Rude! I will have you know that I am also funny and cute!" Toga puffed her chest out.

"You're not allowed to claim what I say as your personality."

They had arrived at the girls locker room and they entered quickly, hoping to get to Ground Beta early.

"Why not? We're pretty much the same person with all your blood I have inside me."

"W-what?" A new voice was shocked, and Mizuki recognized her as Momo Yaoyorozu.

"Little vampire sucks me off every time she needs a pick-me-up." Mizuki purposely made what was most likely a misunderstanding, worse.

Yaoyorozu squirmed in place, desperately trying to figure out what Mizuki meant in a not lewd way.

"Keep in mind that vampire means she sucks blood, and her quirk can store blood for later use. She's got enough of me in her to masquerade around as me for at least a year straight." Mizuki properly explained.

Toga seemed extremely nervous at the fact that Mizuki had shared that information, "Hey..." Toga's voice shook as she looked at Mizuki.

"They're gonna find out eventually, I'm just ripping off the band-aid now so if they do end up rejecting you I can kick their ass." Mizuki smirked reassuringly. She was pretty sure that was the case, as it always made Toga feel better, but Jiro and Yaoyorozu next to her seemed to shudder slightly at her when she did so.

Of course, as usually Toga smiled widely and hugged Mizuki, their height difference became obvious with said hug. Not as much as between her and Yaoyorozu though, not that she wanted to think about it.

Toga threw her costume on quickly. It honestly looked rather unassuming, being a hoodie with padded armour underneath and shorts. Along with that, strangely enough, was a sort of backpack connected to a collar.

Toga jumped in excitement and hurriedly put it on, clasping the thick mechanical choker around her neck, "It's the blood sucker I asked for!" A tube with a syringe on the end seemingly floated off of the backpack.

Toga read a manual that came with it, labelled Baby Number 947, She muttered through the manual out loud, "Painlessly extracts blood from a target? That's no fun." Toga frowned, but Mizuki could feel that it wasn't all that serious of a comment.

'Wonder how they managed to do something like that painlessly? Wouldn't just piercing the skin hurt enough?'

"Still leaves them sore, good enough."

Mizuki left Toga to ponder her strange new item which she made sure to hammer into her head to not abuse, and took out her own costume.

She pulled out a full bodysuit first with padded armour along vital parts of her body, making sure to avoid the joints so she could move fully. After that, she also had a very baggy set of clothes to put on top of it. Figuring out that she needed to tie a belt thing around her waist to keep it all together was annoying, but she managed.

"Green looks good on you." Jiro complemented Mizuki.

"I would take the compliment, but I have no idea what green looks like." Mizuki responded.

The group of girls headed toward Ground Beta, with Mizuki just following slightly behind them, as she still had no idea of the layout of the school. It was fine though, she enjoyed new places after all.

Everyone arrived before long and Mizuki was staring directly at Toru since she arrived.

She was mostly trying to make sense of why nobody was pointing her out.

In short, Mizuki sensed no clothes on her. At least none covering private areas, just standing in gloves and shoes and nobody was paying her any mind, like it was normal.

Not wanting to make a scene, Mizuki walked right up to Toru and got her attention.

"Why the hell are you naked? How is no one else noticing this?" Mizuki whispered.

"H-huh? I'm invisible, so this is the easiest way for me to use my quirk." Toru explained.

"Well you're not very invisible to me." Mizuki's face felt hot, feeling the wind as it brushed up against- 'No. Toga is enough.'

"Sensei. This seems to be the same area as the entrance exam. Will we be practising cityscape manoeuvres?" Iida's voice came from what appeared to be a full suit of armour. While the fact that he was wearing armour was interesting, Mizuki was also wondering why Iida hadn't approached her yet. It was clear that Iida did remember her, but hadn't said anything yet for whatever reason. Not even casual conversation.

"NO YOUNG IIDA, WE WILL BE MOVING ONTO STEP TWO. INDOOR ANTI-PERSONNEL TRAINING." All Might began, "WHILE MOST VILLAINS ARE SEEN OUTSIDE, THERE ARE MANY MORE THAT HIDE AMONG THE SHADOWS. THE MOST CLEVER VILLAINS ARE THOSE WHO LURK INDOORS!" All Might explained.

"FOR OUR FIRST BATTLE TRIALS, WE WILL BE SPLITTING EVERYONE INTO MULTIPLE TEAMS OF 2 AND BATTLING IT OUT TO EITHER PROTECT AN IMPORTANT ITEM, OR RETRIEVE SAID IMPORTANT ITEM. YOU'RE FREE TO THINK OF YOUR OPPONENT AS A VILLAIN IF THAT GETS YOU MOTIVATED!" All Might laughed heartily.

"So... no basic training?" A girl with long hair and a hunched form asked. Mizuki remembered that she was Tsuyu Asui.

"PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE IS BASIC TRAINING!" All Might reassured.

"How will the teams be decided?" Iida asked.

'Once again on top of the questions game Tenya Iida.' Mizuki didn't particularly enjoy that Iida would always jump the gun when asking questions.

"TEAMS WILL BE DECIDED THROUGH LOTTERY." All Might pulled up a box from out of nowhere.

"Is that really the best way?" Iida seemed shocked that random chance would be the deciding factor.

"Heroes often have to randomly team up with other heroes during emergencies." Mutter-boy cut in.

"Ah, I apologise for getting ahead of myself!" Iida bowed slightly.

'Something he'd have to do less if he actually waited for once in his goddamn life!' Mizuki was miffed for no particular reason other than it was a pet peeve of hers.

The teams were quickly chosen.

Team A is Mutter-boy and round faced girl, who Mizuki now knows as Ochako Uraraka.

Team B is a dwarf and herself. She felt excited being the tallest on her team. The dwarf's name was Minoru Mineta, not that Mizuki particularly cared. She would 100% be taking this opportunity to make fun of someone shorter than her.

Team C is Yaoyorozu and Octopus, Octopus' actual name being Mezo Shoji.

Team D is Sparky and Tenya Iida. She hoped to go against them if only over her petty grudge over Iida being so strict.

Team E is Horn-girl, otherwise known as Mina Ashido, and guy who won't shut the fuck up, otherwise known as Yuga Aoyama.

Team F is Big Guy, otherwise known as Rikido Sato. He didn't really have many huge qualities that she could pull from that she could see, so that was the best she could do. His partner was creepy guy, otherwise known as Shoto Todoroki. The guy just kind of sits there and stares at people, at least she has the decency to do it secretly.

Team G is Shocky, something that happened when she bumped into him made all her hair stand on end, a static shock, so that was his nickname. His real name was Kaminari Denki, and his partner was Jiro.

Team H is Tsuyu Asui and Fumikage Tokoyami, who was cool in her book. Anyone who doesn't immediately shun her best friend is okay with her.

Team I is Toru Hagakure and Himiko Toga. It would be really fun to see Toga transform into Toru. Especially with what they discovered with her quirk recently.

Finally, Team J is Manly Man and Weird Elbows. Otherwise known as Eijiro Kirishima and Hanta Sero. Kirishima always went on about manly things all the time, and Sero's nickname is self-explanatory.

Mizuki would probably have to change some nicknames as she learned more about them. Except for Sparky, and maybe Mutter-boy. Those stuck for now.

"How will we decide which team is defending and which is attacking?" Iida asked a very similar question to earlier, and everyone was fine with letting him do so.

"THROUGH LOTS!" All Might said cheerfully.

'Of course it is...'

Without paying any mind to the reaction of his students he continued, "ALRIGHT, WE'LL CHOOSE WHO'S ON WHAT SIDE AFTER THE END OF EACH ROUND, STARTING WITH THE FIRST, ON OFFENCE WE HAVE, TEAM A!" All Might announced.

Mutter-boy seemed nervous to be attacking, and Uraraka was as well, even if it didn't show on the surface.

"AND ON DEFENCE WE HAVE TEAM D!"

"What kind of chump defends!?" Sparky barked.

"NOW NOW, YOUNG BAKUGO." All Might settled, "THE DEFENCE TEAM GETS 5 MINUTES TO SETUP BEFORE THE OFFENCE TEAM CAN START." He ushered Sparky toward the building along with Iida.

'Shame. It would have been fun kicking their ass.'

"Um, excuse me, but what precious item are we defending?" Iida was on a question streak, but it seemed important.

All Might cleared his throat, took out a piece of paper and read from it, "THE DEFENDING TEAM HAS ACCIDENTALLY LEAKED THAT A POWERFUL WEAPON WAS IN THEIR POSSESSION, AND THE OFFENSIVE TEAM WANTS TO EITHER TAKE IT FOR THEMSELVES OR TAKE IT FROM THE WRONG HANDS. EITHER OR. NO OTHER INFORMATION ON THE WEAPON IS REVEALED. TO WIN, EITHER CAPTURE THE OPPONENT WITH U.A PATENTED CAPTURE TAPE, OR DEFEAT YOUR OPPONENT. AS THE OBJECTIVE IS THE WEAPON, IF THE OFFENSIVE TEAM TOUCHES THE WEAPON IN THE GIVEN TIME LIMIT, THEN THEY WIN!" All Might slipped the piece of paper back in his pocket.

Team D walked into the building to learn whatever the hell it was they were protecting while Team A waited just outside it. All Might led Mizuki and the rest of the class to a small monitoring room with enough camera's to cover every corner of every floor.

Not that Mizuki could really appreciate it. The camera's didn't even record sound, which was dumb, Mizuki wanted to at least tell a little about about what was happening.

"So we have to protect a bomb?" Yaoyorozu said, having most likely identified the weapon on the monitors.

"AS WE ARE USING SEVERAL DIFFERENT BUILDINGS FOR THIS EXERCISE, EACH BUILDING HAS A DIFFERENT WEAPON." All Might explained.

"BEGIN!" All Might called into a microphone.

Mizuki could not tell the details, obviously, but from what she was hearing from the other students, Sparky was a bigger asshat than she thought. She'd have to figure out an ass-kicking time for him on her calendar.

From what Mizuki could tell, Sparky was a little ball of rage and fire, and for some reason, he seemed to be taking it out on Mutter-boy. She didn't care much about their past, but she wanted to know why Sparky was so... for lack of a better word at the moment, disgusting.

A loud explosion sounded from the outside, and Mizuki could instantly tell that Sparky did something he wasn't supposed to, especially based on the fact that All Might said that Sparky could have killed Mutter-boy.

Somehow, Mizuki's opinion of the boy decreased.

Some parts of the battle were narrated by others in the class, impressed by Sparky's surprising amount of battle intelligence. Though that didn't stop him from losing, when Mutter-boy had apparently worked with his teammate a few stories up by giving her something to use her quirk with and capture the weapon.

"OFFENSIVE TEAM WINS!" All Might announced with a bit of worry in his voice.

Mutter-boy was taken to the nurses office for his, most likely, once again, broken arm. She wished she could see what it looked like for once, but the monitor room was too far from the building for her to sense it at all.

"IIDA WAS THE VIP THIS ROUND, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY?" All Might asked.

'Seems he wants to talk about our current skill level. Well, I can't know why since I saw nothing.'

"I do All Might Sensei!" Yaoyorozu brought attention to herself.

"It's because Iida was able to adapt the most. While Bakugo went after Midoriya because of a grudge, he was also much too destructive for an indoor training session. Much the same with Midoriya. Iida was able to plan ahead for Uraraka's quirk, and lost focus halfway through. He was only late in reacting at the end." Yaoyorozu expertly analysed.

"C-correct!" All Might gave a thumbs up.

The next round's combatants were chosen as Team B as the defence. and Team F as the offence. For those that already forgot, that is Mizuki's team versus Todoroki's team.

'Creepy guy isn't someone I wanted to go against. Weirdo has a weirdo costume too.' Mizuki shuddered looking at the rock-like costume covering his left side.

'Still not as creepy as the little fuckin dwarf.' Mizuki was mostly paying attention to the other people in the room since she couldn't watch the monitor, and wouldn't you know it? Dwarf was staring directly at Yaoyorozu's ass the whole time.

'Whatever, he pervs out on me and I'm throwing.'
