7 One Day You Appeared PT1

I guess It's my turn to tell you my side of the story now then?

My name is Izuku Midoriya, and I started attending UA as of this year along with my friends.

In my childhood I learned at the age of four that not all men are created equals. When we were kids, Kaa-chan and I were both friends. We used to play together and talk to one another, but when he had gotten his Quirk, he changed. Though it's funny, even with the way he acted I still look up to him as one of the greatest people ever to live.

People looked down on me when I was Quirkless, so I didn't have many friends to call my own. No one believed I could be a Hero without a Quirk.

Until one day she appeared...

***

-Two Years Ago-

Izuku felt himself being pushed to the ground by one of the third years from his middle school. He spat out some of the dirt that had gotten into his mouth before standing up while he staggered a little. The third years laughed before as one of them waved a notebook to him. "Look at the little Quirkless boy!" He said, "He's gonna piss himself!"

"Seriously?" One of the other kids said as he laughed, "That's rich!"

"Ple--please, give me back my notebook!" Izuku begged, "I need it!"

"For what your little future endeavors?" He said, "Like you're gonna become a Hero!"

"It's important! It doesn't mean anything!"

"Right, doesn't mean anything! Hey, why don't we see him cry a bit more when we rip this book to pieces!"

"No! Not that! Anything but that!"

Izuku went to grab his book but the other teens grabbed him by the arms to hold him in his place.The third year's hand turned into scissors as Izuku pleaded with them as he shedded tears. Before he could cut it up, a can had been thrown to his head and he fell on his side surprising his other two friends; the notebook fell out of his hands and onto the floor.

Izuku turned to see a young teenage girl wearing a plain gray colored shirt with a pair of jeans and a pair of black sneakers. Her hair was of purple and aqua green that went up to her shoulders. Her eyes were of red and purple and upon her head she wore what looked to be an old worn out red baseball cap. Strangely enough she looked as though she hadn't slept in weeks.

"What do you think you're doing bitch?!" One of the teens spatted harshly as he gave a glare.

"Just thought I'd take out the trash." The girl replied with a non-expressionless face, "It's irritating me."

"What the hell was that!?" The other had exclaimed before going to punch the girl.

"L--Look ou--!"

Izuku had been cut off when the girl suddenly hit him right in the face with her foot, making him fall on his back taking him by surprise. The other teen who had been hit with a can earlier managed to get himself up as he had seen what had happened.

"You're gonna pay for that!" He yelled before charging at her.

The girl moved out of his way, though when he threw a punch again, she didn't see it coming as his fist collided with her face making a bruise. She suddenly had a glare on her face which actually made the third years shrink a little. The next second she punched him clearly across the face; he had been flying, hitting his friend who had been right next to Izuku at the time. "You damn bitch!" He yelled when he realized she had knocked out a tooth, "You'll pay for this!"

As this was said, the teens got up and headed for the hills leaving the girl and Izuku who had still been on the floor behind. Izuku looked at her just speechless by what she had just done. "W...Wow…" He finally said, "That was… I don't even know what to say…"

She looked over to the notebook on the floor and went to pick up the book. Izuku noticed that her hand had been shaking which took him back a little. She clenched her hand and took a deep breath before she picked up the notebook. She dusted off the sand before she went over to help Izuku to stand.

"Here." She said handing the book back to him, "If this is really important to you, take better care so it doesn't get stolen."

"Ri—right." Izuku said, taking his notebook back, "Thank you."

"It's nothing really." She said adjusting her hat a little. She placed her hand on her cheek as she felt a little pain from where one of the third years had punched her; Izuku noticed this as his expression was written with worry.

Though before he could ask, she went to take her leave without saying another word to him. Izuku wanted to follow but found himself unable to as he watched her disappear down the block.

"Who… Who was she?" Was the only thing he could ask.

***

-UA Cafeteria-

Reina had sat with Izuku, Floyd and a couple of her new friends Chouko, Fumikage, Gio, Tenya, and Ochaco. While most of them were eating lunch, Gio had been playing a video game on the Nintendo Switch while Reina and Floyd were playing a game of cards, which had been poker and they were betting with candy. Reina smiled at the cards that she had in her hand.

"You better be prepared, boy! Because I'm ready for battle!" Reina said with confidence.

Floyd had said back to her, "Ha! I bet you can't figure out my hand!"

"Challenge accepted!" Reina said before pushing the candy she had won previously towards the middle of the table, "I'm all in!"

Floyd laughed to himself before doing the same, "Bring it on!"

They both said to each other, "Show your hand on three! One… Two… THREE!"

They both slammed the cards on the table, but they were both equally shocked when they saw that they had the same hand, which was a Royal Straight Flush. "HOW!? HOW!?" Reina exclaimed as she nearly fell off her seat, "FLOYD-KUN! WHAT KIND OF CHEAP TRICK ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL!?"

Floyd yelled back as he slammed his hand on the table, "I COULD ASK YA THE SAME THING! ARE YOU READING MY MIND?!"

"YOU KNOW I CAN'T!" She yelled as she hit him on the head.

Ochaco couldn't help but chuckle at the way that they acted, "You two really do bicker like a married couple."

"WE'RE NOT MARRIED!" They both yelled.

Chouko ate from her plate before she asked, "So… How did you three know each other? I know Nouki-chan said, "You guys have known each other since middle school."

"Yeah." Izuku replied, "Reina-chan and I have had the same classes since the first year and Floyd-san came the year after."

"Yep!" Floyd said before adding, "Just a few months after my 6th grade graduation!"

"You and your family were from America right?" Fumikage said, "It must've been interesting for you to have attended a school here in Japan."

"You must've had a hard time adjusting when you came here with your family." Tenya said.

Floyd had happily responded with a smile, "It was at first but then you kinda got the gist of it after a while! And as it turns out my parents were given the star treatment!"

"You're super lucky to have pro heroes as parents!" Ochaco said, "I bet they teach you all their coolest moves!"

"That reminds me…" Chouko said, "What are the pro-heroes like in America anyway?"

"Oh, from what Floyd-kun said, some of them are total assholes." Reina said.

"Is that true?" Tenya asked.

Floyd replied, "Most of them. Every time Manhattan gets destroyed the Mayor had to tax millionaires to rebuild."

"Though some of the other heroes are really cool!" Izuku said with his eyes brightened, "I remember reading that the group of Heroes saved one of New York's boroughs, Queens!"

"That was one insane battle, at least from what I've been told." Reina said.

"Your parents must've taught you so much when your Quirk manifested." Chouko said.

"Well I wasn't an easy student ya know." Floyd said with a chuckle.

"That's saying a lot." Reina said with a laugh, "Stubborn as a mule is what your mother told me."

Floyd gave Reina an affectionate nudge before he said, "Hahaha, you're a funny one!"

Ochaco soon spoke up as she swallowed the rice she had in her mouth, "Nouki-san? I've been wondering since yesterday, how did you meet Deku and Aihara-kun anyway?"

Reina's expression suddenly changed at the mentioning of how she met Izuku which Izuku himself seemed to have noticed. Her hand shook a little before responding a bit hesitant, "... I transferred in the middle of my first year to his school. I happened to be in the same class as him. We talked and we were quick to become friends on the first day I showed up. As for Floyd-kun…" As she continued she had gotten her smile back as if to hide her previous expression, "... I beated him in a race when we were in PE. He stuck to me like glue ever since then!"

"It's true! Turns out we had more in common than we thought!" Floyd added with a smile.

"That sounds interesting." Fumikage said.

"What about that other student?" Gio said looking up from his game, "Bakugou was his name right? How did you come to meet him?"

"Well…" Reina started to say before she had been interrupted by Floyd.

"Don't even get me started on that asshole!" Floyd said, "He and I met in the middle of the second year. We both had a tie in several events from classes to even special events, and we've been rivals since then!" It wasn't long before he mumbled to himself so that the others wouldn't hear as he looked in Reina's direction, "And because he was making goo-goo eyes at Reina-chan."

Izuku soon added as he started to red; at one point he started to stutter, "Kaa-chan and I grew up in the same neighborhood together and we used to play with each other, but well I just--"

Reina noticed as he started to mumble; she chuckled as she shook her head a little. "What about you Nouki-chan?" Chouko asked, "How do you know Bakugou-san?"

"Uh—" Reina said looking off the side, "Well—"

Before she could start her sentence the bell had suddenly started to ring, making some of the people in their seats scramble a little. "Time for us to head back." Fumikage said as he got up.

"Sweet! It's time for the good stuff!" Gio yelled jumping from his seat, "I heard rumors that All Might is teaching here you know!?"

"What!?" Floyd said as he followed Gio, "No way, that's a lie!"

"Hey you never know!" Ochaco had said.

Reina had been the last to leave the table as was Izuku since he decided to wait for her. She gathered up the cards she carried into a box before putting them in her pocket. He noticed her hand shaking a little as she grasped it with her other hand.

"Reina-chan?" Izuku said as he approached her, "Are you okay?"

Reina turned over to Izuku before she gave him a reassured smile, "I'm fine."

"No offense… You don't look fine." He said to her.

"You noticed huh?" She said fixing her hair a bit before she started to walk back to the class with Izuku.

"I know that you're still uncomfortable with talking about certain things. You told me, Kaa-chan and Floyd-san about your Quirk, but you haven't told Floyd-san what happened in our first-year… I'm just saying you can't hide these things forever. You have to tell them eventually."

"Would they look at me the same way you and Bakugou-kun do?"

This time Izuku didn't say anything, instead he kept whatever his thought had been to himself. Though Reina could understand his worry. Despite Floyd being one of her best friends there were just some things she wasn't able to tell him even after she got to know him better. Something that only Izuku and Katsuki knew from the first year in middle school. It was one of the only few things she wished she could forget.

Knowing this was going to be on his mind for quite awhile, she placed a hand on his shoulder before saying, "Don't worry about me Izuku-kun. I'll tell them when I found the right words to say, okay?"

Izuku smiled a little at this before he nodded before they both found themselves in their classroom.

***

-Two Years Ago; Aldera Junior High-

Several students in Izuku's class talked with one another as they normally did at the beginning of the school day. As Izuku wrote some new notes in his notebook he couldn't help but think back to the girl from yesterday.

He had practically remembered the faces of all those that lived either in his neighborhood or nearby but the girl, he couldn't help but find odd. She had been the only thing that was on his mind. He wanted a chance to thank her properly for what she did, but at the same time, he wanted to get to know her a bit more.

It's not like he could ask anyone else about her; the only person he knew in his class was Katsuki, though he was sure he'd blow him up if he started asking him a question such as that. Than again he always didn't want to be bothered.

It hadn't been long before their homeroom teacher came into the classroom telling all of the students to take their seats.

"Alright people." The teacher said, "Before I get down to business I have an announcement to make. We have a new student that will be joining us today."

Some of the students gasped at this while others started to make small chatter as they wondered who they will get. Izuku and Katsuki (Who had sat by the window) on the other hand were a bit interested, as it had already been in the middle of the year.

"Now I know most of you think its sudden, but the principal made an exception because of this student's unfortunate circumstance in previous school, though that shouldn't change how you all think; she's a transfer nonetheless." He soon turned to the door, "Come in."

The door slid open and the new student stepped inside. The students were a bit taken back by surprise, especially Izuku and even Katsuki by the girl that they saw. Izuku had recognized the girl to be his savoir from yesterday, though he had been a bit taken back when he saw a set of bandages on her forehead.

The teacher soon introduced her to the class, "This is the student that will be joining us. I expect you all to treat her well and make her feel welcome."

The girl bowed to the class, "It's a pleasure to meet you all. My name is Reina Nouki."

The girl named Reina soon took notice of Izuku who sat towards the back in the second row, as he couldn't help but flinch a little. At this Reina smiled a little over in his direction which took him back even more.

"Oh my gosh, she remembers me!" Izuku said with his hands over his mouth. He didn't realize that Katsuki had been glaring over in his direction when Reina looked at him.

Lunch soon came and everyone had either been eating in the classroom, the cafeteria, or outside. The only place that had no one at all was the roof, which Reina found herself comfortable in. While eating her lunch she had been drawing her sketchbook; she had been wearing her old worn out red baseball cap to cover herself from the sunlight.

Izuku peeked through the door and watched her do her own thing. He thought about what to say for a moment before he hit himself in the face.

"Okay."

He opened the door, nearly tripping himself before he approached her. "Um!" He said, getting her attention, "He-hello there, Nouki-san!"

"Oh, it's you again." Reina said, "Do you need something?"

Izuku turned red a little before he started to stutter, "Um--Well--Uh--I--Just uh--" Finally he thought of the right words to say, or at least he thought he did, "Your eyes!"

Reina tilted her head a little, "My… Eyes?"

"They're--!" Izuku continued, "--Unique! I've never seen them in that color before!"

Reina couldn't help but chuckle a little as she fixed her hair a bit, "Thanks. Anything else?"

Izuku stuttered again before he said, "Well I--I just wanted to thank you for what you did yesterday! The way you fought was amazing!"

Reina shrugged a little before she started to draw in her sketchbook again, "... It was mostly my Guardian's idea. Said that I needed to be able to protect myself if I wanted to survive in a world full of villains. Have to say that they did pay off." Izuku looked worried as he had noticed that her cheek still had the purplish bruise on her from yesterday. Reina took notice of the way he looked, "... It's just a bruise. It doesn't hurt as much as it did before, there's no need to worry."

"Are… You sure?" Izuku asked as he twiddled his thumbs, "You looked like you were in pain."

"It's nothing I can't handle." She told him, "How about you?"

Izuku had flinched a little by this, "... I'm sorry?"

"Those people…" She clarified, "... Do they always treat you like that?"

Izuku looked to the floor as he had said expression on his face; his hands shook slightly at the thought of it. "It's okay. You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Reina reassured him, "I mean, you and I technically just--"

"Yes." He said cutting her off nearly took her by surprise.

Izuku took a deep breath before he sat down in front of her; he didn't know why but he felt like he could say whatever he wanted to her; It was about time he got it off his chest. "For as long as I can remember I've been picked on by other people. Even people like Kaa-chan do it. Though I guess it's to be expected since… I'm not like other people."

"Not like other people? How so?"

"... Like, there's something I'm missing. And everyone else has it but me…"

At first Reina didn't really understand what he meant by his words, though she seemed to understand as she gave him a solemn look. "You don't have a Quirk… Do you?" She said to him. Izuku merely responded by nodding his head

"I've been used to it though." Izuku said with a sad smile, "Because no matter what they say I'll be a Hero!" He took out his notebook that he had been keeping in his bag, "This is all the notes that I've been taking down from every Hero I've seen on TV and the internet! With this I'll be able to make it into the UA, and I'll help people like All Might does, so I'll--" He cut himself off when he realized that he had been rambling. He turned red from embarrassment at this as Reina looked at him. "I'm sorry." Izuku stuttered again, "You must find this ridiculous right? I won't blame you if you start to make fun of me for it."

"Why would I?" Reina said, surprising him again, "... Just because you don't have a Quirk, doesn't mean I'm going to treat you differently. If you want my opinion, it sounds amazing."

"Re--Really?" Izuku stuttered.

Reina merely nodded her head, "You probably have one of the best ambitions of becoming a Hero I've ever seen. It sounds really cool."

Izuku turned as red as a cherry by this as he stuttered again. Though he started to talk gibberish suddenly as his words were incoherent. Reina couldn't help but laugh a little at this, "You're not used to talking to girls huh?"

"No--Not really." Izuku replied honestly.

Reina looked over at his notebook before asking, "... Do you mind showing me some of your notes?"

Once more Izuku was left in shock by this as Reina said, "I'd like to see them if that's alright with you."

Izuku's eyes widened in awe before he nodded, "Sure Nouki-san!"

Reina smiled once more before saying, "Please, call me Reina-chan. What's your name?"

Izuku soon replied as he rubbed the back of his head, "I'm Izuku Midoriya!"

***

-Present; Classroom 1-A-

All of the students sat within their seats, all but curious to see who their afternoon teacher was going to be. Most of the students however had a pretty good idea on who. They had heard the rumors that the Symbol of Peace All Might was going to teach the class in the afternoon much to many's surprise and excitement. Reina however had sat awkwardly in her seat as she just happened to be seated in between Floyd and Katsuki, who had done nothing but glare at one another as they did in the morning before the classes started.

"This is a little embarrassing." Reina said as she put her head on her desk.

Floyd said as he gritted his teeth over to Katsuki, "Yeah, you're sitting next to a walking bomb right there.."

"When this day is over, you're dead meat." Katsuki said to him with a sneer.

"Not quite what I meant." Reina mumbled to herself as she sank further in her seat.

Lena soon hit both Floyd and Katsuki on the head, "Enough with the stare down! Your next teacher is about to come in!"

The students seemed to have perked up when the door slid open, and a familiar voice was heard.

"I AM…!"

Reina's expression brightened a little as did Izuku and Floyd's when they realized that the voice had belonged to All Might. Reina and Floyd nearly fell out of their seats when they saw All Might in an awkward position as he yelled--

"COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" All Might shouted.

"That's not normal in any way!" Reina and Floyd thought in unison.

All of the students were in awe when they saw All Might step to the front of the classroom.

"It's really him! It's All Might!"

"He really is going to be our teacher!"

"That is so cool!"

"That costume he's wearing, it's from the Silver Age isn't it?"

"That style is giving me goosebumps!"

All Might cleared his throat before he started to speak up to the students, "I teach Hero Basic Training. It's a subject where you train in ways to learn the basics of being a Hero. You'll take most units in this subject!"

"So you better all pay attention if you're serious about becoming Heroes!" Lena said to the students, "Otherwise I get to punish you!"

All Might started to stretch and flex his muscles as he said, "Let's get right to it than!" He pulled out a card that read what they were going to cover in the subject in particular. What they were going to cover was--

"COMBAT TRAINING!" Both All Might and Lena yelled.

Most of the students were surprised at this though Katsuki had smiled at this as he could finally show off his skills. Reina on the other hand couldn't feel anything other than anxiety. She knew that UA would provide combat training but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

She gulped and held her expression so Izuku and Floyd wouldn't realize that she looked off; Katsuki however seemed to take note of how she looked as he somewhat lost his smile.

"And to go with that are these!" All Might said before pressing a button on a remote he had been holding. Out from the wall came what looked to be cases of sorts which all of the students seemed excited for. "These are costumes made based on your Quirk registrations and the requests you sent in before school started!"

"Alright all of ya! Go and get geared up!" Lena said, clapping her hands, "Once you've done that, report to the Ground Beta so that we may begin!"

***

-Ground Beta-

All Might and Lena waited for their class to arrive with the Ground Beta of the UA. They soon spotted the class as they stepped into Ground Beta. They both smiled when they saw that they were wearing outfits completely different from their uniforms.

It was their Hero Costumes.

"They say the clothes make the young men and ladies!" All Might said as he stood tall, "Be fully aware… From now on… You are Heroes!"

Both All Might and Lena seemed very happy to see them all in their Hero Costumes; though only a few stood out from the rest. Reina's Hero's Costume was all but unique like her in a way. Around her head instead of a set of bandages it had been a long headband in the color of dark red.

As for her costume it was another story altogether. She had on a trench coat with what looked to be a zipper in the middle; the jacket was in the color of black and a dark red color with the large collar in the color of dark gray; the jacket revealed her stomach where there was some muscle definition.

Underneath the jacket she wore what looked to be a dark purple halter top and she wore a pair of dark brown pants up to mid-thigh with a black belt and she had a pair of dark gray knee socks with what looked to be black gun holster straps.

She had on a pair of dark gray combat boots and on her hands she had what looked like robotic gloves; from on the wrist she had what looked to be wires connecting to her wrist, and even had a pearl with no color. On her back she had on a hostler which had her sword.

Floyd's costume had been an interesting one as well. His was a red jumpsuit with gloves that can go from normal to fingerless as well as light gray sneakers. Around a brown belt he had what looked to be his sketchbook on it's very hostler. Both Reina and him stood with confidence along with the other students. They both turned to one another giving each and one another a glance at their costumes.

"Well, your costume is not looking that bad." Reina commented, "I take it you got the idea from your parents?"

Floyd chuckled before he replied, "That and TV!"

Reina couldn't help but laugh a little before noticing a certain someone was missing, "Hey, where's Izuku-kun?"

"Still getting his costume ready." Floyd replied, "He should be joining us up soon."

It hadn't been long before Chouko, Fumikage, Ochaco and Gio approached them. Reina and Floyd had gotten a good look at their costumes and needless to say they were impressed. Ochaco's costume consisted of what looked to be a skin tight costume that was of the color of black and pink. She had on knee high boots that had been in the color of pink as well and a belt around her waist and thick rounded braces with a pair of handles attached to them; she also had on a pink helmet; though it looked as though she had on a skin tight suit.

Chouko's costume looked like that of what looked to be a light blue short yukata with a white sash around her waist. She had on what looked to be red ribbons around her upper arms and the sleeves covered her hands. With the white socks she wore she had on a pair of black sandals with brown straps in between her toes. There had been an opening at the back of the yukata so that her wings would be able to show.

Gio's was an interesting one to say the least. He had one what looked to be a blue trench coat with a black shirt under it and brown straps across his chest as well a pair of dark brown pants with a pair of black sneakers. It looked as though his coat had several pockets; what had been in them though Reina couldn't really tell. Fumikage's costume had what looked to be a dark cloak covering his whole body from the neck down.

"Looking sharp you guys!" Floyd commented with a smile.

"You two aren't so bad yourselves!" Gio said as he stretched

"Nouki-san, your costume looks so cool!" Ochaco commented, "I didn't think you would be the type of person that would be into this!"

"Well what can I say, skirts and dresses aren't really my thing." Reina said with a smile before commenting, "You guys though, you look pretty cool."

"Thank you Nouki-chan." Chouko said.

"I appreciate the comment." Fumikage said.

"Hey! Thanks!" Gio said as he showed off his coat, "Honestly I wasn't really sure of this style but now that I'm in it, I look as good as any kind of Pro!"

"I wish I could say the same thing." Ochaco said as she blushed out of embarrassment, "But mine just ended up being a skin suit."

Floyd had said as to comfort Ochaco, "Nah nah, it's cool! It looks fine!"

Reina laughed and shook her head a little before she spotted a familiar boy with blonde spiky hair. She had to be perfectly honest she didn't get a chance to talk to him all day, mostly because of how Floyd has been acting since she had been sitting between them, so now was as good a time as any. She snuck away from Floyd and went over to where Katsuki had been. That's when she noticed his own costume; He wore a black tank top that was a v-neck with an orange X going down his chest and around his back.

Around his neck he had what looked to be a metallic neck brace that looked to be a collar. On his arms he had what looked to be gauntlets in the shape of hand grenades that reached up to his biceps. He also had a belt that carried a few other grenades and it held up baggy black pants with knee guards with a pair of black boots with orange buttons. She noticed his mask looked like it had been in the shape of an explosion, not really surprising her in any way.

In fact she was more speechless about what he wore as her eyes were transfixed.

"Wow…" She said softly before saying loudly, "Bakugou-kun... You… Look… AMAZING!"

Katsuki finally noticed Reina, as he jumped. His face turned a crimson red as his eyes laid on her costume. Though Reina didn't seem to notice as she approached him and took his arm into her head, which made his face heat up even more just at how close she was.

"Seriously! I've never seen a costume like this, let alone gauntlets of this size! It even matches the charm I gave you!" Reina said still in awe, "Are these to help your Quirk? Aren't these things heavy? Can you fire your explosions from these? What made you come up with these designs in the first place? Won't these be hard to move around in when you're in a battle?"

Reina finally looked up to Katsuki and noticed the way he was. Though she assumed differently as she let go of his hand and she turned red from embarrassment. "Oh gosh I'm so sorry!" She said rubbing the back of her head, "I geeked out without thinking, didn't I? Hate it when I do that."

"She's so cute…" Katsuki thought to himself mentally before shaking his head to rid himself of it.

"But seriously…" Reina said, getting his attention again, "Your costume is out of this world! Like literally, I've never seen other Pro Heroes have costumes as awesome as yours. Compared to my costume, it just looks ordinary."

Katsuki looked at her a bit shocked and looked over her costume again. He averted his gaze from her before he commented, "No… It looks good on you." His face turned a little red again after what he said. Reina's eyes sparkled at Katsuki's words.

"Really?" She said with a smile, "Thanks, that means a lot!"

Once more Katsuki avoided her gaze, as his face was still red. Though as he had his head turned away from her he couldn't help but give a rare smile at the fact that he made her happy. Just before he could say anything more they both sensed the presence of someone glaring at them. They turned and saw Floyd giving the death glare over to Katsuki which he couldn't help but give back.

Floyd had yelled, "YOU BETTER NOT BE DOING ANYTHING WEIRD TO REINA-CHAN YOU TRIGGER HAPPY EXPLOSION BOY!"

"WHO THE HELL EVER SAID I WAS HALF-BREED!?!" Katsuki yelled back as raised his fist at him.

"THEN STOP MAKING GOO-GOO EYES!"

"DO YOU WANT TO DIE YA BASTARD!?"

"COME AT ME BRO!"

All of the students in Class 1-A couldn't help but give awkward looks as they watched Katsuki and Floyd yell threats at each other, while Reina rolled her eyes at this. "...Why do they always do this?" Reina asked herself.

"HEY SHRIMP, PISS FOR BRAINS!" Lena yelled, making the two of them freeze up, "YOU TWO HAD BETTER NOT BE STARTING ANOTHER FIGHT!"

"Nope I'm just letting him off with a warning!" Floyd said casually with dead fish looking eyes.

"WARNING MY ASS!" Katsuki yelled. "AND WHAT'S WITH THE EYES?!"

It hadn't been long before Izuku had joined the crowd of students, which Reina and Floyd immediately noticed. Though they had been taken back by what he wore as their eyes widened in shock. He had on a green and white suit with his mask having what looked to be white teeth painted just around it.

Over his head he had a hood he had what many saw to be bunny ears though Reina and Floyd saw otherwise. He had on white gloves and his signature red shoes and black pads around his elbows and knees. Both Reina and Floyd's jaws dropped at the way his costume looked as they were both speechless and even All Might noticed as he was speechless too.

"Midoriya-san!" Chouko said, "You're here!"

"We were beginning to wonder where you were Deku!" Ochaco said.

"Shoichi-san! Uraraka-san!" Izuku exclaimed before turning red at the sight of their costumes.

"You look so cute in your costume!" Chouko commented and Izuku couldn't help but cover his mouth as he was speechless.

"Yeah, and not to mention cool looking too!" Ochaco said, before turning red again, "Aw man I should've been more specific about my costume. Again, it's just a skintight bodysuit."

"Nonsense, like Aihara-san said, you look fine." Chouko reassured her.

"The Hero Course is the best." The boy with purple balls in his hair named Mineta said, taking Izuku back a little.

Lena slapped him on the head as she said in a threatening tone, "You mind saying that again, you little creeper?"

"Eep! No!" Mineta exclaimed as he shrunk at her gaze.

Reina and Floyd were still speechless about Izuku's costume as they couldn't form the right words. Finally Reina spoke, "Floyd-kun? Doesn't his costume look a lot like…?"

"No… It can't…" Floyd said, "Or could it…?"

They both looked to All Might and back to Izuku seeing the eerily similarities between his costume and All Might, which All Might himself noticed too. It wasn't long before the three of them looked at one another before they started to stifle a laugh.

"So obvious!" The three of them thought in unison.

"Hey, are you two okay?" Izuku asked, noticing how Reina and Floyd were acting.

"We're fine!" They both said at the same time still holding back their laugh.

The chatter among Class 1-A soon ceased as they all gathered around after journeying a bit further into Ground Beta; their All Might and Lena stood in front of the crowd ready to announce what exactly the Combat Training would entail.

"Alright you maggots!" Lena said, "It's time for us to begin the Combat Training!"

"Aihara-sensei!" A student who looked like a power ranger said. Reina, Izuku, Floyd and Gio recognized the voice belonging to Tenya. "Huh, I almost didn't recognize him in that gear he had." Reina whispered.

"He looks so cool." Izuku commented.

"Yeah he reminds me of that hero, Ingenium." Floyd said.

Gio couldn't help but laugh, "You make it sound like they're both related!"

Tenya didn't seem to notice their side conversation as he asked his question, "This is the battle center from the entrance exam, so we will be doing urban battles again?"

"Actually no!" Lena replied with a smile, "We're going to move two steps ahead of the game!"

All Might soon cleared his throat as he started to explain to most of the students that were confused, "Most of the time fighting Villains take place outdoors. However if you look at the total numbers there's actually a higher chance of fighting Villains indoors. Imprisonment, house arrest, backroom deals--In this society filled with Heroes the truly intelligent Villains hide in the shadows!"

Lena soon continued, "So today in this exercise, there will be two teams! One team will be the Heroes and the other team will play the part of Villains. From there you'll be fighting indoors!"

"We're going to be doing this without basic training?" The frog girl named Tsuyu asked as she tilted her head slightly.

"Screw basic training!" Lena yelled, "When fighting with Villains you get none of that!"

"Besides, this is a real battle to understand those basics!" All Might had added, "The only difference this time is that there's no robots you can beat up!"

Sure enough all the students bombarded the two teachers with several questions of their own.

"How will the wins and losses be determined then?"

"Can we beat them up anyway?"

"Are you going to give us the same kind of punishment like the one you came up with Aizawa-sensei?"

"How are we going to be split up?"

"Can we choose who can be on our teams?!"

"Isn't this cape crazy?"

"QUIET!!" Lena yelled in a booming voice shutting everyone up, "YOUR TEACHER WASN'T DONE SPEAKING! SHOW SOME RESPECT, YOU TURDS!"

All Might cleared his throat again before saying, "Thank you Aihara-san, though turds might be a bit harsh." He soon took out what looked to be a piece of paper.

"Is that a script!?" Reina, Izuku and Floyd exclaimed in their thoughts.

All Might soon explained what they were going to do, "The scenario is this. The Villains have hidden a nuclear weapon somewhere in their hideout. The Heroes are trying to dispose of the weapon. The objective of the scenario is that the Heroes either have to capture the Villains or retrieve the weapon in the time that they are given, while the Villains objective is to defend the weapon or capture the Heroes."

"Oooh! It sounds like a video game!" Gio said aloud, "How classic!"

"And now for the teams!" Lena said holding up a yellow box, "To make this fair, the teams will be determined by drawing lots! I better not hear any complaining if you don't like who you're placed with!" As she had said this, she eyed Floyd and Katsuki in particular as they both gave her a sneer.

"Why are you looking at me when you say that!?" Floyd and Katsuki yelled at the same time before they glared at each other.

"Hold on!" Tenya said, "They're going to be decided haphazardly?"

"Well I can see how this can work." Reina said, "Pro Heroes in particular have often made makeshift teams with Heroes from other agencies."

"Yeah!" Izuku said before adding, "It's so they can get a better understanding of each other, maybe that's why?"

"I see… You two are looking ahead." Tenya said before bowing, "Please excuse my rudeness!"

"Don't worry about it!" All Might reassured Tenya.

"Let's not waste anymore time!" Lena said before holding the box up in the air, "EVERYBODY DRAW!"

Thus Class 1-A drew from the lots and the teams had been decided.

Team A was one of the only few that had four people, and that consisted of Reina, Gio, Izuku and Ochaco themselves.

Team B had a team of three which was of Fubuki Todoroki, her twin by the name of Shoto and a tall muscular teen who appeared to have tentacles one by the name of Mezo Shoji.

Team C had a team of two which was Momo Yaoyorozu and Minoru Mineta; Mineta looking very pleased about being paired up with a girl.

Team D had four people as well. It was of Tenya, Chouko, Floyd and Katsuki, much to Floyd and Katsuki's hate.

Team E was of a girl who had pink skin and hair named Mina Ashido and the young teen who couldn't stop sparkling named Yuga Aoyama.

Team F was of a teen wearing a yellow jumpsuit and another had worn yellow and red both named Rikido Sato and Koiji Koda.

Team G had a girl with what looked to be plugs hanging from her ears one by name Kyoka Jiro and a young man with yellow orangish hair named Denki Kaminari.

Team H was of Chouko's cousin, Fumikage Tokoyami and the frog girl named Tsuyu Asui.

Team I was of a young man with a tail named Mashirao Ojiro and a girl who had just gloves and blue ankle high shoes who had been invisible named Toru Hagakure.

Lastly team J was of a young man with spiky red hair named Eijiro Kirishima and another wearing a white, orange and black helmet who was named Hanta Sero.

"It must be fate, Izuku-kun." Reina said, "Who knew we would be paired up with these two."

"R--right!" Izuku stammered at the fact Ochaco had been on their team, "Funny how that works!" Reina couldn't help but giggle at the way he acted.

"Let's do our best okay!?" Ochaco said with excitement, making Izuku's face turn redder.

"YEAH! LET'S GIVE IT OUR ALL IN THIS GAME SERVER!" Gio yelled to the sky.

The three of them looked to Gio with confusion who now had an awkward face.

"Don't you mean training?" Reina asked.

Gio proceeded to turn red from embarrassment, "Right of course! That's what I meant!" He soon mumbled to himself, "Stupid Gio! This ain't no game, it's life! REAL LIFE!"

Meanwhile on team D Tenya and Chouko tried to keep Floyd and Katsuki from killing each other as they glared at one another.

"Aihara-san! Bakugou-san! Please calm down!" Chouko said nervously.

"We're supposed to be a part of a team, not focusing on how to kill one another!" Tenya added.

Floyd and Katsuki ignored their protests as their foreheads touched one anothers as they glared. "I'm gonna beat your ass so hard that when I'm through your own mother won't recognize you." Katsuki said with an evil look on his face.

Floyd replied with the same kind of look, "Funny I was gonna say the same thing. Imma kick your ass so hard you gonna have amnesia for weeks."

"They're completely ignoring us…" Tenya said as he couldn't help but slump over.

"How does Nouki-chan and Midoriya-san deal with these two?" Chouko asked awkwardly.

Lena drew up a whip and used it to hit the ground underneath their feet; it seemed to get their attention as they immediately turned to their peers. "Alrighty people! Now it's time for the first matchup!" Lena said before reaching into a pair of boxes which were of the slots, "Our first Hero and Villain match will be…" Lena soon pulled out a pair of balls; one of white and the other of black. She looked at the letters on the spheres as she was taken back a little by who the match up was of.

"TEAM A AND TEAM D!" Lena soon yelled.

Both of the teams gasped and looked at one another; all of them took back that they were going against each other. Izuku especially considering that Katsuki happened to be on the team that had been selected.

"Alright!" All Might said, not really taking notice of their shocked faces, "Team A will be the Heroes while Team D will be the Villains in this scenario! Both teams will follow me to where the battle will take place!"

"As for the rest of you!" Lena said to the rest of the students, "Follow me to the monitor room, and study this fight well!"

The students did as they were told; While the rest of the class followed Lena to the monitor room the two teams went with All Might to where the fight will take place. They stopped at a building that had at least six stories where they began to set themselves up.

"The Villains will go in first and prepare themselves." All Might explained, "As for the Hero's they'll be given five minutes to prepare. When they break in that's when the battle will start. Do you all understand?"

"Yes sir!" They all replied except for Katsuki.

"Right then, Team D proceed into the building!" All Might said.

As Reina's team waited they watched team D head inside. Though Reina and Izuku went towards them to say something. "Floyd-san! Iida-kun! Shoichi-san! Let's do our best alright?" Izuku said.

"You know it!" Floyd said with his thumb up.

"I wish you the best of luck." Tenya said, "To all of you."

"I'll try my hardest as well." Chouko said, "So please don't go easy alright?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Reina said.

She soon turned over to Katsuki who had ignored the group talking. She approached him once more and gave him a gentle tap on the shoulder getting his attention. "Bakugou-kun?" Reina said with a smile before holding her hand out so that he could high five it, "May the best team win."

Katsuki merely gazed at Reina before turning over to Izuku. With a sneer he simply went to the entrance of the building without even so much as replying to Reina, which she found strange.

"Bakugou-kun?" Reina said with concern as she watched him and the others go into the building.

Floyd said to Katsuki as he caught up while he gave a light tap on his head, "Oi dumbass! Eyes on the game!"

Katsuki shot a threatening look at Floyd before giving him a growl; Floyd couldn't help but shrink before saying to him, "Just saying… Pay attention."

As Reina watched them disappear she placed her hand over her heart as she felt some kind of twist in her chest. It wasn't long before she had a thought.

"I know this is supposed to be training… So why do I feel like something bad is going to happen…?"

-Two Years Ago-

A few weeks went by since Izuku and Reina met one another, and needless to say that they both had an instant bond. They talked during lunch and always walked home together to talk with one another. Soon they had started to hang out in places like the arcade or in a cafe learning more about each other. They sat in a local ice cream place with Izuku having a simple milkshake and Reina having a chocolate sundae. Izuku had just finished telling Reina a certain story and needless to say Izuku had been embarrassed.

"No way your mother didn't!" Reina said with disbelief.

"Ye--yeah." Izuku said with his face buried in his hands, "Right in the middle of the store."

"I guess it's true what they say, watch out for the quiet ones." She said before asking, "Did she at least let that cashier guy have it?"

"She did." Izuku said, "But then she almost got kicked out of the store. Dark day at the supermarket."

Reina couldn't help but laugh before Izuku started to laugh along with her.

"One of these days you gotta introduce me to your mom." Reina said, "She sounds like the coolest person in the world!"

"She really is!" Izuku said, "I think you'd like her!"

"Okay, it's your turn, do you have a question for me?"

"Hmm… Actually now that I think about it… And I'm sorry if it's personal but…" Izuku pointed to the red baseball cap that sat just on the top of her head, "Why do you keep wearing that hat? I mean no offense but it looks like it's ready to fall apart."

Reina seemed to have lost her smile as her expression softened a little. She let out a sad sigh which Izuku immediately took notice of. "I--It's okay if you don't want to answer!" Izuku said as he stammered, "It was stupid of me to ask anyway!"

Reina shook her head a little before saying, "It's okay. I don't really mind it. It's just a bit surprising since no one has asked about it before."

"Really? So I'm the first?"

"Pretty much, yeah."

Reina removed her hat from her head before looking at it. "I suppose it's about time I told someone about this…" She said as she placed the hat on the table. Izuku was a bit hesitant as he proceeded to ask another question, "Was it by any chance a gift from someone?"

"... I actually have no idea." Reina ended up replying. Izuku looked at her in shock. How can she not remember is what he couldn't help but think to himself. As if reading his thoughts, Reina soon spoke up, "... My life wasn't anything like your Izuku-kun. I had a completely different childhood. Mostly I was isolated from the other kids, and with good reason too. In that isolation, I only had two things with me. Most kids have a toy to keep them company, but for me… One of those things was this hat."

Izuku noticed the look in her eyes as she spoke; her eyes look sad is what he thought; Reina had soon continued.

"… To who gave me this hat, I may never know." She said brushing her fingers along the top, "I know one thing though, that this hat is something I treasure most and I'll take care of it always. To others, this may seem like an old hat, but to me, it has so much more meaning."

Izuku felt moved by her words but couldn't help but feel solemn for the girl before him. At the moment he didn't know what to think, all he couldn't help but feel pity for her. He saw her similar to that of a lost child, at least in his sense. He couldn't help but feel like she too had been missing something. Though she hadn't been very clear he had an idea, or at least something that he considered. Whatever it was he could tell she was struggling to tell whatever it was she wanted to say.

"Reina-chan?" He said getting her attention back to him, "... You don't have to tell me everything if you don't want to."

This time Reina was one who looked to him with what he said. "You can just take your time with it. Find the right words to say, and when you do I'll be here listening."

Reina's eyes widened a little at this before giving him a warm smile, "Thank you Izuku-kun. You're… A really good friend."

Izuku's face turned red before he started to stammer, "I--Well--You're welcome! I mean thanks! I mean Wanks! Wait what?"

Reina couldn't help but laugh before she ruffled his hair a bit, "... You're such a dork huh?"

-Present; UA Ground Beta-

Team D had gotten to the top floor where they would discuss their strategy on how to capture their opposing team, and they were pretty shocked to see the amount of space they would have to work with and the large missile that sat in the middle of the room. "I know this is only training, but it pains me to have to play the part of a villain." Tenya said, having removed his helmet.

Floyd had said to Tenya, "You're telling me, I wanted to be on the Hero team!" He soon whispered so only Tenya could hear him, "And the fact I don't wanna be paired with you-know-who."

"Our objective is to protect this then?" Chouko said as she approached the weapon. She placed her hand on the base of the weapon, feeling for only a moment, "It's papier-mache."

"Well obviously! What did you think they would give us a real weapon to guard?" Floyd said jokingly.

Chouko couldn't help but chuckle, "You're right, I should've expected this."

"Hey! You three!" They heard Katsuki call out; the three of them turned to him, "Deku has a Quirk, right?"

The three turned to each other before Floyd went and replied, "Well duh. What are ya, yesterday's news?"

"I'M SERIOUS INKHEAD!" Katsuki yelled suddenly as Floyd flinched at the tone in his voice, "Don't screw with me, unless you REALLY want to die."

Floyd's eyes widened a little at his tone as he said to him as calmly as he could, "Take it easy man. it was just a joke."

It wasn't long before Tenya added, "Besides you saw his monstrous strength, though it puts him at a great risk to himself."

"You and Midoriya-san grew up together right?" Chouko said, "Nouki-chan told myself and Iida-kun. I'm not sure what you have against him, but Nouki-chan and Aihara-san would be upset if you go and hurt Midoriya-san. So please don't do anything that will make Nouki-chan hate you."

"From what we've seen she looks up to you as a friend." Tenya added.

Floyd had added as he put his arms over his chest, "Yeah she sure gonna never speak to ya again if you do something she doesn't like!"

Despite their words, Katsuki's body shook with anger; the only thing that was on his mind was the fact Izuku has a Quirk, something he didn't want to believe. "That little bastard…" Katsuki thought to himself, "Has he been punking me this whole time…?"

He suddenly had an evil smile on his face as the others didn't notice since he had his back turned, "That damn nerd!!"

-Outside-

Team A had been looking at the blueprints to the building they had been given; they took their time to study the floor plans to figure out what they're plan of action should be. Reina however had looked to the building in front of them as a certain thought came to her head as she had a look of worry.

"What's the matter?" Gio asked, "You nervous?"

Reina shook her head before replying, "It's Bakugou-kun. I'm a little worried."

"You're worried about him? How come?" Ochaco asked as she had been curious as well.

Reina was quick to reply, "He always has an angry look on his face for as long as I remember, but just now he looked like…" Her words trailed off as she didn't know whether to say it out loud. She picked up her sentence again, "... I'm just worried he might do something reckless today."

"Hey! Don't you worry about it!" Gio said to Reina, placing his hand on her shoulder, "Even if he was to do something like that the teachers would be able to stop it! And from what I've seen yesterday, Floyd would be able to stop him too if he gets too crazy!"

"He's right, Nouki-san!" Ochaco said, "There's no need to worry about it, so we can relax! Right De—"

Ochaco stopped herself when she saw Izuku shaking up a storm while Reina and Gio were taken back by how he looked.

"YOU'RE NOT RELAXED AT ALL!" Ochaco exclaimed.

"AND YOU'RE SWEATING THROUGH YOU SUIT?!" Reina soon yelled out of confusion.

"DUDE SERIOUSLY! YOU SHOULD GET THAT LOOKED AT!" Gio shouted.

Izuku soon stammered as he replied, "Well… It's because we're up against Kaa-chan, that and Floyd-san, Iida-kun, and Shoichi-san. I feel like I need to be on my guard...."

"Oh yeah that's right…" Ochaco soon said, "Bakugou-kun was the one always making fun of you right?"

"Yeah, it's kind of a downer seeing as how we're going to be going up against your childhood bully." Gio said.

"Not necessarily." Izuku surprised them, excluding Reina, "Kaa-chan… He's the most amazing person I know. He's a piece of work, but despite this, his goal, his confidence, his strength, even his Quirk, they're more amazing than mine." He soon stood up, and put his mask over his mouth, "That's why right now… I don't want to lose…!"

Gio and Ochaco smiled at Izuku's words, though Reina couldn't as she still thought about Katsuki. Izuku's expression softened when he saw the look on her face. His thought had been discarded when he heard Ochaco say, "So it's a fated battle between men huh?"

"It sure seems that way!" Gio said, "The plot thickens ever so much!"

Izuku stammered before saying, "Oh! Uraraka-san, Terebi-kun I'm sorry for getting you guys involved! This isn't your problem!"

"But it is!" Ochaco said before hooking her arm around Reina's arm and Gio's, "We're a team after all! And like they say, you take one, you take us all!"

"Y--yay~." Reina said hesitantly lifting her hand in the air as if the battle had already been won.

"HOORAY FOR TEAMWORK!" Gio exclaimed, before saying to Izuku, "Also call me Gio."

"Let's all do our best okay!?" Ochaco said with a smile.

They soon heard the speaker turn on, and Lena's voice came through. "It's time to begin the indoor combat training with Team A and D! To both teams, good luck to ya!"

"Time to play the game!" Gio said as he fixed his jacket and approached the building, with Ochaco following. Izuku was about to follow but noticed Reina still standing there looking at the building within; he knew very well what had been on her mind as his expression softened again. "Reina-chan?" He said, snapping her out of her daze, "Are you okay?"

"Ye--yeah." She stammered, before following Gio and Ochaco inside, "Yeah, let's go."

Izuku nodded before following behind Reina.

The four of them quickly climbed up to the second floor and went through the window. There they were greeted with what looked to be a maze, as they were several halls turning one way and another. They looked around and saw there had been no one in sight. "The coast is clear!" Gio whispered, "We've infiltrated successfully!"

"There are a lot of blind spots, so let's be careful." Izuku said before taking the lead and the others were quick to follow. They turned every corner of the many halls, each time they reached the corner they made sure the other team wasn't in sight. Reina had been in the back of the group still thinking about the way Katsuki had looked.

"The look in his eyes…" Reina said in her thoughts, "...It was the same look as me back then…" She placed her hand over chest, "This feeling, I can't get rid of it… He's going to do something reckless, but what should I do when that happens? What should I do?"

The group stopped in their tracks when Floyd suddenly appeared around the corner; He seemed to have a panicked look on his face. "GUYS! THANK GOD I FOUND YA!" Floyd yelled.

"Floyd-san?" Izuku said confused, "What are you doing here?"

"Yeah shouldn't you be guarding the weapon or something?" Gio asked.

"Hey you look pale, what's wrong?" Ochaco asked with worry.

Floyd soon said still in a panicky tone, "Look there's no time to explain!" He turned to Reina and said, "Reina-chan! Listen! He's gone crazy! You have to take Izuku and run!"

"What are you talking about? What--?" Reina couldn't finish her sentence, when she and the group felt a woosh when Katsuki jumped out of the corner, with a look to kill; she noticed his hands as they sparked with fire.

"DIE!" He yelled.

Katsuki thrusted his hand to attack the group, and thus he caused an explosion.
