-The Next Day-
(Text in Italics will be narration. Unless stated otherwise, you can assume [M/N] is narrating.]

"U.A's Hero Course curriculum. Considering it's all you ever hear about, most people think U.A's Hero Course only teaches combat and rescue skills. In reality, there are normal core classes. Like English, for example."

"Now, which of these four sentences contains a mistake?" Present Mic asked the class. All around the room were looks of immense boredom. 'I'm gonna die of boredom if this class doesn't end soon....' (M/N) thought, barely able to keep his eyes open as he laid his head down on the desk. "Hey everybody, look alive. GRAMMAR RULES!" Present Mic exclaimed, failing to remove the glazed look of boredom from anyone's face.

"Lunch is served in the cafeteria. You can buy really good food there for almost nothing!"

(M/N) barely managed to keep from laughing up his rice as Midoriya began to fanboy over the Cook Hero, Lunch Rush.

"Finally, in the afternoon, it's finally time for what we wait all day for. Hero Basic Training!"

(M/N) sat at his desk, waiting for the teacher to arrive. "I...AM...HERE!" A booming voice exclaimed. All Might burst through the door. "Coming through the door like a hero!" He exclaimed as the entire class perked up. "I can't believe he's really gonna be teaching us this year!" (M/N) exclaimed in awe. "Hey, look. Is he wearing his silver age costume?" A rather nasally voice asked. "Welcome to the most important class at U.A High! Think of it as Heroing 101! Here, you will learn the basics of becoming a pro, and what it means to fight in the name of good!" All Might explained, the entire class still seeming to be in an awestruck state. "LET'S GET INTO IT! Today's lesson...WILL PULL NO PUNCHES!" All Might exclaimed, holding up a sign that read BATTLE in red.

"FIGHT TRAINING!" Bakugou said in an overly excited voice with a sadistic tone to it. "Real Combat!/Real Combat...?" (M/N) and Midoriya exclaimed in unison, the two obviously possessing differing emotions over today's lesson. "But one of the keys to being a hero is.....LOOKING GOOD!" All Might exclaimed, pressing a button that caused numbered drawers to come out of the wall. "These were designed for you based on your quirk registration forms, and the requests you sent in before school started! Get yourselves suited up, and meet me at training ground beta to get started!" All Might ordered. "YES, SIR!" The entire class exclaimed enthusiastically.

The sound of footsteps, metal, and heels hitting the pavement as the class walked out in their costumes. "They say the clothes make the pros, young ladies and gentlemen. Behold, you are the proof!" All Might exclaimed as the class walked into view. "Take this to heart. From now on, you are all... HEROES IN TRAINING!" All Might exclaimed. "This is getting me revved up... you all look...SO COOL!" All Might shouted. "Now....Shall we get started, you bunch of newbies?" All Might asked.

"The clothing allowance. Before I enrolled at U.A High, I submitted my quirk registration forum. This included my physical measurements and my preference in costume design. The school then sent this to their designated clothing company. They used this to make a state-of-the-art costume for me."

                                                                -Three Weeks Prior-

(M/N) frowned at a piece of sketch paper, his mind empty of ideas completely. "I can't be a hero without a costume, but I don't want it to look dumb..." He murmured to himself, biting down on his pen unconsciously. "SWEETIE! Your father wants to talk to you!" (M/N)s mother called out, walking into the room holding a phone. He grabbed it, bringing it to his ear. "Hey, dad." (M/N) said into the phone, still trying to think of ideas. "Hey, bud! What's going on?" His father asked in a cheery tone. "I'm trying to think of a costume design..." (M/N) replied in a frustrated tone. "Oh, right! Congrats on getting into U.A! Also, you could always just do what I did and take some inspiration from one of your favorite heroes." (M/N)s father replied. (M/N)s eyes widened and his frown flipped into a smile. "THAT'S IT!" He exclaimed. "GOTTA GO DAD!" (M/N) said, the phone dropping to the couch as he began to swiftly sketch a design out.

                                                            -Back to the Present-

(M/N) walked out wearing his costume. He wore a mask carved of bone on his face, wearing two entirely red eye contacts that seemed to glow from within the eye holes of the mask. A rather cheerful and somehow welcoming smile was carved into the mouth of the mask, making it a bit less intimidating. On his torso, he had thin plates of armor made from ebony covering his vital areas. A rib cage had been seemingly engraved into the chest area of the armor before being painted white. On his arms were thin layers of black cloth that allowed his blades to easily go in and out. He wore a simple pair of black pants and a pair of steel-toe boots.

"Hey, Ochako!" He exclaimed, greeting her before taking notice of her costume. If his mask weren't there, it would seem to her as if his face had been replaced by a tomato. "Hey, (M/N)! That's a really cool costume! Not like mine... I should've been more specific. This thing's pretty embarrassing!" She exclaimed before giggling. He nodded a bit before noticing Midoriya. "Nice costume, Midoriya!" (M/N) exclaimed, giving him a thumbs up. "Wow! That costume is amazing! It looks just like the Skeletal Hero, Marrow's costume!" Midoriya exclaimed enthusiastically.

"R-really...?" (M/N) asked, making a poor attempt at hiding the fact he had copied his father costume. "Now that you're ready, it's time for combat training!" All Might exclaimed. "Sir! This is the fake city from our entrance exam. Does that mean we'll be conducting urban battles again?" Iida asked from within his full-body armor. "Not quite! I'm going to move you two steps ahead!" All Might replied, holding up two fingers.

"Most of the villain fights you see on the news take place outside. However, statistically speaking, run-ins with the most dastardly villains take place indoors. Think about it. Backroom deals, home invasions, secret underground lairs...Truly intelligent criminals stay hidden in the shadows...In this training exercise, you'll be split into teams of good guys and bad guys and fight two-on-two indoor battles!" All Might began to explain.

"Isn't this a little advanced?" The girl with frog-like features asked. "The best training is what you get on the battlefield. But remember, you can't just punch a robot this time, you're dealing with actual people!" All Might replied.

(M/N) began to tune out after this, wondering who he would be paired with. He was awoken from his daydream when he heard his name. "Team E: (M/N) (L/N) and Mina Ashido!" All Might exclaimed, causing the two to look at each other after All Might glanced at the two of them. 'Mina Ashido, huh? I wonder what kinda quirk she has...?' (M/N) thought, walking over to her.
