What? What the hell is this?

"You need to hurry!" A voice shouts to me, it... it sounds familiar...

"Raijin! You need to stop-!"

I awaken suddenly, ugh, my second damn day. Hopefully, it's not as bad as yesterday.

"Hey, Kyo! Get up it's time to go to school!" My uncle says knocking on my door.

"I'm up! I'm up!" I shout to that old fart. "Freaking clam chowder." I mutter walking to my mirror, my red hair drapes over my eyes, I sigh brushing it out of my face, my green eyes dull. I've got to make it to Friday, then Saturday is the usual meeting. I've got a free Sunday finally, the first one in almost a year.

Later I'm seated in class, most of our classes were boring as hell, our last class of the day is our hero basic training.

Our normal courses are as follows, English, math, science, and history. Lunch happens roughly around noon. After lunch, it's time for that class.

"I AM..." With a loud shout, his voice rings through the class, many people gasp in excitement. I, however, sink in my seat and try to sneakily place on my earbuds, but they're hooked and yoinked away by prongs from Yaoyorozu, ah, bugger off. "...HERE!" The door slides open and he rushes in hanging onto the door and the frame. "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A HERO!"

Many of them stare at him star-eyed, in amazement and joy, all except for myself, and one of my fellow red-haired students, Aka Bokasu, Bokasu yawns, I however groan as little as I can, several of those nearby glance at me before, quickly, returning to their doughy, childlike glee and wonder. "Welcome to the most important class at UA High. Think of it as 'Hero-ing 101!'" He smiles at everyone. "Here you will learn the basics of heroing, and what it means to fight in the name of good!" He poses. "Let's get into it! Today's lesson will pull no punches!"

I grin slightly, I'm not alone, Bakugo does so as well. "Battle training..." I mutter my smile and glare mixed probably isn't a good look, but, I can't wait to teach these kids a lesson.

"But one of the keys of being a hero is... looking good!" He presses a button and 20 suitcases come into view, the suitcases are numbered specifically to where we are seated. "These were designed for you based on your quirk registration forms and the requests you sent in before school started."

"Damn you, Akan." I mutter, I know he's going to have designed my suit, that bastard.

"Get yourselves suited up and then meet me at training ground Beta!" All Might orders.

Everyone excitedly gets their suits, I sigh, having chosen to wait I get mine at the end, myself the last one in the class. Later, we all approach the the training ground, several of them excited, I remain near the back of the class, my battery strapped to my back, and several pockets well hidden holding more, smaller, batteries. I remain next to Yaoyorozu, not by choice mind you, but because she was ensuring I didn't try to run away again.

"I like your suit." Yaoyorozu says with her polite smile.

I however scoff. "Please, you're just happy I'm here."

"Well, I am."

"Shouldn't be."

"Why not."

"It doesn't matter. I'll just end up having to replay this conversation later anyway."

"You're still in therapy?"

"No shit."

"Kyo..."

"Oh don't give me that 'Kyo...' bullshit, you know I don't like this."

"Then why did you grin earlier?"

"Cause I get to teach these drones a lesson."

"Drones?"

Instead of continuing the conversation I scoff and push away the purple-haired Mineta who'd been ogling Yaoyorozu and her exposed stomach and portions of her exposed chest.

"What'd you do that for?" She asks.

"You're too exposed, he was lusting after you like a pervert, I hate perverts far more."

"Than what?"

I don't respond instead looking away, I sigh lowering my goggles they have a port for earbuds, so I quickly turn on the earbuds in my left ear

"Now that you're ready! It's time for combat training!"

He's immediately interrupted by Iida, and I've never been prouder in that grade-A idiot. I ignore the majority of what's spoken until All Might opens a script.

"Listen up. The villains have hidden a nuclear missile somewhere in their hideout. The heroes must try to foil their plans. To do that, the good guys either have to catch the evildoers or recover the weapon. Likewise, the bad guys proceed if they protect their payload or capture the heroes." It's like one of those old action movies. "Times limited! We'll choose teams by drawing lots!"

"Isn't there a better way?" Iida asks.

"You can't be serious?" I say with a glare directed at Iida. "Pros often have to Team with others from other agencies on the spot. It should be obvious."

"How would you-?"

"I've seen it. Several times, and I've heard the complaints about it." I say my glare turning back to All Might, she constantly complained about working with you.

"Let's draw!"

I glance around and then draw mine first.

A Team - Izuku Midoriya & Ochaco Uraraka
B Team - Mezo Shoji & Shoto Todoroki
C Team - Kyoreki Raijin & Momo Yaoyorozu
D Team - Katsuki Bakugo & Tenya Iida
E Team - Mina Ashido & Yuga Aoyama
F Team - Koji Koda & Minoru Mineta
G Team - Denki Kaminari & Kyoka Jiro
H Team - Fumikage Tokoyami & Tsuyu Asui
I Team - Aka Bokasu & Hanta Sero
J Team - Eijiro Kirishima & Toru Hagakure

"What are the chances we're on the same team, Kyo?" Yaoyorozu mutters I sigh and begin stretching,

"Yeah, the two of us make a good team, I guess."

"I declare that the first teams to fight will be..." He sticks his hands into two boxes before extracting two balls for the teams. "These guys!" Team D For the villains against Team A for the heroes. "Team A will be the heroes! Team D will be the villains! Everyone else can head toward the monitoring room to watch.

We all quickly make our way to the room, I sigh and rummage through the costume, thin wires meant for electrical traps and dead batteries for my Light Grenades. I don't bother with the match. The major rumblings cause me to scoff, and others to glance at me.

"What's a matter?" Ashido asks me.

"That was stupid."

"Huh?" Several of them recoil.

"In a real-life scenario that 'Fast Ball special' could've set off the nuclear bomb and that would've killed not only the four of them but a large portion of the city, millions of lives would've been snuffed out in a moment."

All of them stare at me, my glare, or what I assume is a glare. Midoriya is quickly carted out of the arena and to Recovery Girl. Bakugo, Uraraka, and Iida stand before the class.

"Well despite the results. The MVP of this exercise is young Iida!" All Might announces.

"Shouldn't it be one of the heroes instead, since they're the winners?" The frog girl, Tsu, asks.

All Might hums with a large smile plastered. "Valid question. Why didn't I choose one of those two? Who has a guess."

Yaoyorozu and I both raise our hands, I however speak first. "Cause the heroes were idiots, and Bakugo let his ego drive him above all else. Midoriya made the same mistake Bakugo did earlier in destroying the building, if Iida hadn't moved the bomb earlier in the engagement, Midoriya would've destroyed it and set it off. As I said earlier Uraraka's fast ball technique also could've set off the bomb had this not been a training exercise. As for Bakugo and Iida, Bakugo was so driven to crush Midoriya, that he made the mistake of rushing out to attack when Iida should've been the villain running around the building fighting the heroes." I spit on the floor. "In summation, the heroes would've nuked the city, Bakugo made mistake after mistake costing his team the match, by process of elimination that leaves only Iida, he's the MVP on a technicality."

"Well, you could go without insulting them all." Yaoyorozu speaks to me.

"They'll never learn without the honest and brutal truth, Aizawa will definitely teach that lesson to all of you."

"Now then. Time to blow this joint! Let's move on to the next match! Think about everything we saw and discussed as you tackle this training yourself.

The second match saw the team of Todoroki & Mezo Shoji defeat the team of Eijiro Kirishima & Toru Hagakure fairly quickly. Match three saw Aka Bokasu & Hanta Sero face off against Fumikage Tokoyami & Tsuyu Asui. Bokasu and his speed put up stiff resistance against Tokoyami, even being able to capture Asui, he would however fall to the might of Tokoyami's Dark Shadow in a well-hidden shadow of the building, ending in his team's defeat. Then came match four, Yaoyorozu and I, versus Kyoka Jiro & Denki Kaminari.

"Seal off all but one entrance." I give a small crackle of energy. "And make me an extension cord to that outlet over there..." I point to the outlet behind the bomb. "... to where I am now."

"Right."  She does as ordered sealing the other entrances.

I mark a single door not to be touched with a can of spray paint. I grin, as electricity crackles around me and I riddle floors 2, 3, and 4, with traps, we're on floor 5, the bomb is on floor six, and neither of them has a way to get to the roof without alerting us, and floor 7 is rigged to blow the roof off this place.

"They're welcome to come and get us, they'll go through hell to get to Heaven" I grin.

Yaoyorozu sighs. "Just try not to hurt them too badly."

"Oh, I won't, if they can avoid all the traps, then by all means, I'll show them what we recommended's are all about."

"Begin the match!"  I crouch down, feeling the electricity surging through me, I close my eyes, several of them are rigged to blow upon activation of the false wires, some, rigged to the real ones, they'll never know which is which.

"Yaoyorozu, no... Icon, to the bomb, don't make it obvious which floor it's on."

"Right." She escapes the room, being sure she's out of the room I remain in.

I open my eyes and blast several beams of electricity out of my fingertips, each finger controls two beams, and with the slightest movement of my fingers, I can maneuver them through just about anything. I can also scout long-range with these, don't fail me, Lightning Cords. There's a rush of electricity in the building, the first three mines went off, they've reached the second floor, at the current rate, they'll meet the cords on floor three.

The fight was rather simple, incapacitate Jiro, and force Kaimari to run the gauntlet. She's best at recon, he's an attacker. After several minutes the cords don't find anyone on the third floor, I grumble and turn swiftly using the extension cord I wrap it around a wall, I use it along with a wire from my suit to swing down to the second floor by jumping out a window, I crash through another window and blast electricity through the floor, activating every trap at once, the entire floor essentially explodes with electricity, no damage is done to the building as they're all weak attacks, but then I hear it, screams of pain, and two bodies falling over. I hurry over to the pair and wrap them with the capture tape.

"The Villain team wins!" All Might announces our victory. Afterward, there's one final match, I don't care after my match ended, I just went on with my day. It's easier that way, no one to really worry about in my class, my biggest threats currently, are getting hit with Midoriya's full strength, Bakugo's fighting prowess, and Todoroki's fire. Everyone else would be playing catch-up.

As I walked away from class, I suddenly stop and open the door for a young girl, she has short black hair and stunningly dark blue eyes.

"Thank you." She says politely with a soft smile.

"No problem. What class are you from?"

"1B, you're from 1A right?" She asks.

"Sadly."

She glances at me quizzically the two of us walking together. She doesn't ask further questions and neither do I. I much rather enjoy the silence. We sit next to each other on the train.  I'm told that when I got home that day I had a smile, that hasn't happened in a while.

Chapter End.
