After the USJ incident everything seems to be back to normal... except the part you see a mummified version of your teacher walk in your classroom. "Sensai!, should you be here in your current state?, you need to rest and heal." Ochaco said worriedly, if you recall a creature of total mass destruction almost killed him, but that didn't stop him from attending to his students, goes to show that he does care. But it came with a cause in which the school now knows a deadly assassin/hero in training walks amongst the campus and suspected her as the traitor, class 1A didn't believe that Izumi was the traitor luckily Principle Nezu managed to clear the confusion by explaining her situation and asked to keep it a secret which the class greatly complied. But word will spread out soon without them knowing.

"You don't have to worry about me, you have to worry about something else... Like her." Aizawa said as he gestured to the door to reveal a certain greenette, "Izumi!!!." the class exclaimed worriedly yet relieved, "Hey guys." she said with a small smile only to find herself tackled by the girls in a group hug,

"You had us so worried!!!." Tooru exclaimed,

"Don't be reckless again!." Momo scolded,

"You're too precious to die!!!." Mina cried.

Izumi was touched, but she was more shocked that her classmates weren't afraid of her nor disgusted. "You're not.... Mad?." She stuttered, "Mad?, You managed to escape the villains who did you wrong and became a badass that rescued us from the USJ!!!, You're a hero!!!." Sato cheered, "You're even more manlier than any of us." Kirisihma cried man tears, all of the class agreed making Izumi blush nervously.

"Calm down everyone, our principal mentioned that Midoriya is still new to emotions, so we need to take a careful approach." Iida said in a brotherly tone as he escorted the greenette to her seat.

Izumi was happy that she'll be able to pursue her goal to be a hero, but she was worried with a certain blonde in front of her, Katsuki was awfully quiet lately, yesterday after she had another panic attack he was silent as he and his parents took Izumi and Toshinori back to their apartment. She was worried about him, sure she remembers fragments of her other memories about him but was he upset about it?.

"Alright now that's out of the way, we need to focus on the next task... A task that will be a test of fortitude." Aizawa said seriously making the students hold their breath as if there is a sudden drumroll of suspense.

"The Sports Festival." Aizawa said, making the class sigh in relief, but some of the students worry that the Sports Festival is happening too soon after the attack. "But sensai isn't the sports festival too soon." Momo asked,

"The competition is far too important to cancel. It is one of the most-viewed events in the world and a major opportunity for U.A. students to get scouted by professional Hero Agencies." He explained.

Few hours later

At lunchtime, the students of Class 1-A decide to forget about the attack and pump themselves up for the Sports Festival. The most excited one so far is Ochaco who puts her game face on.

"Come on everyone!, Let's do our best!!!." She yelled, making the rest of the class cheer with great spirit, "Ocha-chan, calm down will you." Izumi said while pinching her cheeks together, "Let's go and have lunch." she said and made her way to the door, "You seem rather calm about the festival Midoriya." Iida said while fixing his glasses, "Well, think it's time for the world to know the first quirkless heroine." Izumi said with a grin.

"Speaking of heroes, what made you pursue the hero course?" She asked, "I want to follow in my brother's footsteps who is also a fellow pro hero." Iida said proudly, "Oh?, you mean Ingenium?." Izumi asked Iida nod in response, "How about you Uraraka?." the male asked.

"W-well... I only plan on becoming a hero for the money." She said awkwardly which surprised Izumi and Iida, "You see my family is struggling financially because business is slow for their construction company." she mentions sadly.

"We understand Ocha-chan." Izumi said, "It's normal for future heroes to have simple goals!." Iida said as he gave an applause to the brunette and then both friends sandwiched Ochaco in a hug.

"HAHA, YOUNG MIDORIYA IS HERE!." an all too familiar voice appeared,

The three friends turned around to see All Might, "Fa- All Might, is there something wrong?." Izumi asked, hoping her friends didn't catch the slip up. "Lunch!." He exclaimed.

"Wanna join me?." He asked while holding a bento box wrapped in a blue cloth with white rabbit prints. "That's adorable!!!." Ochaco squeals. The greenette knew it was something serious so she followed while Tenya and Ochaco decided to go to the mess hall without her and started to talk about her relationship with All Might, piquing an eavesdropping interest.

Meanwhile Izumi and All Might arrived at a lounge area and talked over tea.

"The Sports festival is upon you, what's your plan for the games, a lot of pros heroes will be watching in which young heroes in training are given opportunities to aid pro heroes as sidekicks." All Might said as he transformed back to his skeletal form. "Well I made a strange discovery regarding One for All, the power continues to grow it even affects my way of fighting." She explained.

"Well keep training, I'm afraid I can't hold on much more, I can only hold my hero form for about fifty minutes now." He said, "I'm sorry father... if only I was stronger." She whispered sadly but Toshinori just laughed it off which surprised her.

"Young lady, it will take more than that to bring me down. But you better hurry and become the next symbol of peace and a sports festival will be your debut." Toshinori encourages while handing her onigiri shaped like a panda.

Hours later

Once the school day ends, the students are on their way to pack their belongings to leave "Everyone!, line up in an orderly fashion." Iida instructed, "But Iida, you are not even in line." Kirishima sated making the indigo haired male to sulk.

As they made it to the exit it was blocked and crowded by students from other classes as they're there to scout out the competition. "What's with all these fucking extras?." Katsuki growled,

"So this is the infamous class 1A..." A new voice said

"Where's your so called quirkless assassin?." The crowd parted to reveal a male with purple wind blown hair, he was well built and tall but wore a tired expression, "How sad that this class is filled with arrogant bastards." He insults as to rile up the heroes in training, "HA!!!, YOU THINK YOU CAN BE IN OUR LEAGUE?!." Katsuki taunts back, "I don't, I know and I plan on taking your place in the Hero Course." He said with a creepy Aizawa like grin.

"Students from other courses that do well in the exam can be moved into the hero course." He explained making class 1A shiver in fear as he declares war on Class 1-A,

"YEAH!!!, TIME TO BUT YOU UNMANLY HEROES TO THE GROUND!!!." Tetsutetsu challenges Class 1-A,

Other students started ganging up on them and many of the students in Class 1-A worry that Katsuki has ruined their reputation and caused all the other classes to hate them.

"That. Is. It." Izumi said and stood up from her seat.

The sound of gunfire shocked the crowd of students making them duck down to take cover.

Once they were greeted with silence, they look up to see an angry green haired female with red eyes that scream murder.

"Does everyone think that heroism is a competition!?." She growled at the U.A. students, "The sports festival is meant for us students to show potential to pro heroes that we can be the people's greatest defenders, while the rest of you want to win or sit still and look pretty in camera and get praised for doing nothing." She said in a more calm manner.

She packed her stuff and approached the door, "Hitoshi Shinso was it?." she said as she confronted the male, "Don't threaten my class unless you're ready to dance." she said, "What are you talking about you quirkless freak." Shinso fought back, making class 1A shudder in fear at his mistake.

"I don't think you understand... I'm not locked up here with you." She said as her eyes slowly emitted a red flame at the side of her eyes.

"You're locked up in here... With. Me." She finished with a headbutt at him making Shinso stumble back luckily one of his classmates caught him.

"That implies to the rest of you, you all came here to be a hero, NOW ACT LIKE IT." She said and grabbed Katsuki by the ear and dragged him with her. 1A decided to follow the two just in case things got messy.

Later

"You didn't have to do that." Katsuki grumbled while rubbing his sore ear, Izumi looked at him with an emotionless gaze but the tear that peeked from her eyes didn't go unnoticed.

"Kacchan... during the USJ attack, I was able to recollect some of my memories..." She said, making the ashen blonde fidget at her gaze, "I remember you said you didn't help as a child, the sludge incident and the heroes who called me reckless... and from that moment I knew I would always be alone." She said with a sad smile.

Katsuki felt a lump on his throat making his heart ache, he wanted to say that she's wrong and that she was never alone... But what's stopping him?.

"I was forced down this path and I will take the punishment for my actions. Who cares if the heroes or U.A. think I'm a traitor, no one cares anyway." the greenette said, as she turned away to leave a warm hand grabbed her wrist.

She turned around to see Katsuki holding her hand and to her surprise her classmates were behind him too. "Train me..." He said.

"If I win the sports festival, I'll prove you wrong and you'll do anything I say." Katsuki said with a challenging grin making Izumi shocked at his statement.

"Yeah go Bakugou!!!." Mina cheered,

"I wanna learn from Izumi too." Ojiro declared,

"You're not alone Izumi!!!." Ochaco said with a hug.

"But why do you want me to train you guys?" she asked, "Because you're the most capable fighters who can hold their own, we want to prove to the others that no one messes with 1A's first quirkless heroine and class 1A." the class responded with a determined look like they won't be taking no for an answer.

"The road will be rough." She said to coax them to change their minds,

"We have quirks." Momo demonstrated with a smirk,

"There's no turning back." She challenges again,

"Guess we have to roll with the punches." Tokoyami challenges back,

"Easy won't be part of the equation." She warned them,

"Promise?." Froppy said casually,

"Gotta warn you, go to the belly of the beast, danger in every turn." Izumi grinned at their determination,

"We eat danger for breakfast!." Bakugou yelled back.

Let the Battle commence!.
