The quirk assessment was done in a brief time. Students who were injured were instructed to locate Recovery Girl in her office. Shin and Mineta, despite not having any wounds, made their way to Recovery Girl to ensure all was well with their bodies.
She handed some candy to both of them and dismissed the young students who had come for healing. Sliding the doors open, the world clock hanging on the wall caught Mineta's eye when he saw it was time for English class, which was taught by Present Mic.
"We're late, Nakamura! Let's hurry up!"
"Yeah!"
They approached their classroom, making their way in, yet Present Mic was absent. The class erupted in chatter about the quirk assessment, with the girls all crowding around Shin, bombarding him with questions.
A knock interrupted them, snapping them out of their little world. It was Present Mic. "Time for studies. Take your seats," he said.
English class commenced for a brief period, with Present Mic asking the students questions while some, like Bakugo, were totally uninterested since it was boring to him. The bell echoed throughout the hallway, indicating it was time for lunch break, and Present Mic gave them some assignments before exiting the class.
"Man, I'm starving," Shin hummed.
"Wanna grab lunch together?" Kaminari muttered in amusement.
"Sure! Let's get going."
"I heard the food there is top-notch," Sero said, gesturing for them to join the crew as they made their way to the large cafeteria.
Upon arriving, they saw that the cafeteria was huge and spacious. They noticed the crowd was intense since everyone was eager to eat the top-notch classic food prepared by the cook hero known as Lunch Rush.
Lunch Rush wore a cooking apron, a chef's hat, and a mask that covered his face. He also wore white gloves and shoes, with a tube connected from his mouth to his back.
The crowd began to thin as everyone ordered their food and left. Now, it was time for the crew to order their food before lunch break ended.
Shin ordered his food first, followed by Sero and Kaminari. After getting their food, they approached the closest seat in the cafeteria and sat down, discussing various topics while eating.
After some time, some girls from their class joined them, sharing lunchtime together like a family. The atmosphere erupted in chatter when Mina broke the silence while chewing on her meatballs.
"Hey guys, don't you think Sero and Shin's quirks are alike?" Mina swallowed, then sipped some water from her glass.
"Now that you mention it… I never really thought about it before. I mean, Shin's got a quirk called Threadbound, allowing him to manipulate strings and use them to swing like Spider-Man," Kaminari muttered.
"Really? I never noticed that. Having a similar quirk with a classmate," Shin said.
"I can shoot tape from my elbows and swing with it, but yours is like the advanced version of mine in some way," Sero added.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, it is what it is. Long story short, you've mastered your quirk, so all that's left is for me to work harder than anyone here and improve mine."
"That's the spirit, Sero. You can do it—and I won't lose to you either. Anyway, I'll be right back."
"Where to, Shin?"
"I'll go order some curry."
"Eh? How can you still eat that much?"
"I'm still hungry, that's all."
"I've never seen someone who eats this much. Don't you wanna slim down?"
"He said he goes to the gym with his dad, so that helps him stay in shape."
The bell echoed throughout the entire UA structure. Shin and his crew finished their food and rushed back to their classroom.
The door slid open as Mina entered, seeing the noisy atmosphere as chatter filled the room.
"Welcome back, Mina."
"Why didn't you join us at the main cafeteria?"
"I'm sorry about that, Mina. I'll join the crew tomorrow." The girls embraced each other while Mineta couldn't suppress his lewd thoughts, glancing at them.
Kaminari headbutted Mineta to prevent him from drawing the girls' attention and starting rumors about a perv in Class 1-A.
"Hmm? What's that sound?" Kaminari's ears picked up a faint rumbling.
"An earthquake?" Iida muttered, adjusting his glasses. The rumbling grew louder and louder as an unknown figure approached the classroom.
"Someone's at the door. Prepare yourselves, you extras," Bakugo warned, sweat nearly sliding down his face.
"Do you think it's some kind of monster trying to kidnap us?" Uraraka exclaimed, shivering.
"This is a hero course, idiot. No one can just walk in and kidnap us," Shin said.
"That's true, but…" Uraraka swallowed, glancing at the door as it slowly began to open.
"Here it comes," Mineta said through gritted teeth, fearing the worst.
"I am here… coming through the door like a normal person!"
"Eh? All Might?" The class exclaimed, seeing the bulky figure of Japan's number one hero standing before them.
"Are you surprised?" All Might, clad in his red hero costume with a blue cape draped behind him, struck a pose, flexing his muscles for the students to admire.
"All Might? I mean, what's the real All Might doing here at UA?" Iida adjusted his glasses with his middle finger.
"Awesome, man! Seeing All Might in the flesh is totally different from TV," Kaminari said, clenching his fist in excitement.
"I can't believe you're a teacher here… this is amazing," Kirishima added.
"Calm down, kids. Don't get too excited," All Might said, walking toward the chalkboard. "It's true—I'm a teacher here, and I'm going to teach you how to be great heroes."
"Really? I can't wait to become a great hero too," Izuku muttered, clenching his fist with a bright smile as he glanced at his mentor.
All Might continued, "Being a great hero doesn't mean having the flashiest quirk. It means putting others first—making quick decisions, utilizing the situation, and saving those in need." He raised a finger. "Just like young Shin over there. He saved the highest number of lives during the entrance exam, and that's what makes a true hero."
All eyes turned to Shin, who rubbed his bald head, flustered by the compliment. "Thanks, All Might."
"Don't get too excited, fatso. It's just the beginning," Bakugo argued, frustrated that Shin was getting all the credit.
"All right, Class 1-A, I'll be teaching you Hero Basic Training today." All Might picked up a marker and wrote on the board. "Let's get started right away. Here's what we'll be doing…"
"What is it? I'm already getting goosebumps," Shoji muttered.
"Are you all ready?"
"Yes, All Might, sir!"
"We'll be doing… combat training!"
"Combat training, huh? Sounds great," Bakugo said, pumped up.
"Sounds fun. Time to see who's stronger," Todoroki added from his seat, arms folded.
"I'll show you extras who's the king of 1-A."
All Might clapped his hands to regain the class's attention. "All right, settle down. You'll be using your customized hero costumes based on the quirk registrations you submitted before school started."
He pressed a button on a controller, and the electrified walls slid open, revealing numbered compartments.
"Costumes, huh? The first step to being a hero," Shin whispered, walking toward the wall to retrieve his. He held the bag in his arms, a small smile forming as he examined his costume before heading off to change.
"Awesome!" Kirishima's voice echoed through the classroom as he opened his box to reveal his hero costume.
"Go get changed, and let's move out to the battleground!" All Might announced.
Moments later, the students had switched from their school uniforms into their customized costumes.
"This is… amazing," Izuku muttered excitedly. *All Might, I won't disappoint you.* He clenched his fist, ready to give it his all.
The students filed out of the classroom in their costumes and approached the battleground for their test. The area was spacious, filled with towering buildings.
"All Might, do we get this whole area to ourselves?" Shin asked curiously.
"Yes, young Shin. Feel free to go all out—and if things get too dangerous, I'll step in," All Might assured them with his signature smile.
"This is giving me goosebumps," Kaminari muttered.
"Now we're like real heroes," Jiro said.
Iida raised his hand. "All Might, is this the same battleground used for the entrance exam?"
"Yes."
"So, will we be conducting urban battles like before?"
"No. This time, we're moving forward in two teams! For this class, you'll split into villains and heroes and fight 2v2 indoor battles!" All Might explained.
"Heroes and villains, huh? I'm getting excited," Bakugo snarled eagerly.
