16: Heroics Class
•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•
After leaving a disappointed Kaminari, Yusuke finally managed to find Inasa. He just came from the bathroom, already finishing his favorite food, Tempura.
They talked while walking toward Mina's table. Inasa told him the same thing that Mina told Yusuke. Their classmates were very friendly, one was especially really, REALLY friendly. And according to the blonde teen's cousin...
There was one eccentric yellow-haired student who kept congratulating him for being in the better class. Nonetheless, Inasa liked them, which was a great thing to hear for Yusuke.
Reaching the table, Mina introduced the blonde teen to her friends. After introducing himself, he finally had a bite of his karaage.
...
One hour later, the bell rung, signifying the end of Lunch. Yusuke invited Mina and Inasa to his class' table tomorrow since he also wanted to introduce them.
But, as he was saying goodbye to a certain dark-green-haired girl...
"I still can't believe that Mina hid such a handsome guy like you~," Setsuna said in an alluring tone, which made the blonde teen silent.
"Anyway... I hope I'll see you tomorrow, cutiepie~," she said, walking away from the silent Yusuke.
"Uhm..."
'Okay, she was definitely flirting with me, right?' he asked himself.
The blonde teen then remembered that the bell had just rung, so he composed himself and started heading toward his classroom.
...
They were told that their Heroics Teacher had an emergency, so Snipe was the one who introduced them to Heroics.
A few hours later and their first day of school ended. Mina, Inasa, and Yusuke went home together. Well, not exactly, since they were the first to get off the train before Inasa.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Minacchi!" Yusuke exclaimed.
"Bye-bye!" she replied, waving her hand.
The blonde teen thought about going to the "Training Forest" but later decided against it.
He and his mom ate dinner and talked about the teen's first day in U.A. High.
After their conversation, Yusuke went to his room, wanting to sleep early so that he could get a jog in, early in the morning.
And, that's exactly what he did, the first thing in the morning.
...
One shower later...
He waited by the Train Station for Mina this time. When she arrived, they headed to U.A. together.
In the morning, they had pretty normal classes. The blonde teen liked Present Mic's class, thinking it was very engaging.
On Lunch Break, Yusuke introduced Mina and Inasa to his classmates. Inasa was a bit uneasy when meeting them, though.
But, moving on... The most exciting part of Yusuke's day was when it was time for Heroics Class...
...
A laugh came from the hallway, that gradually got louder and louder, most probably disturbing other classes.
"I have arrived like a normal person!!!" a muscular blonde man shouted, posing as the door slammed open.
"It's All Might!"
"He's really gonna teach us?!"
"May the Lord bestow his grace upon our ears..."
"Hero Basic Training! This is the class that'll put you through all sorts of special training to mold all of you into Full-Fledged Heroes!" All Might informed them loudly, with a different pose.
"No time to dilly dally! Today's activity is this!!!" he said, holding up a card that said...
"Battle Training!!!"
"However, for that... you need these! Every Hero needs them!!!" he told them, as the walls opened, showing different types of cases.
"Costumes!!!" the class shouted in excitement.
"Change into them, and head to Ground Beta!"
...
They changed into their costumes and followed All Might's instructions.
For Yusuke's costume, he wore a white skin-tight long-sleeved shirt. To match his shirt, he wore a gold-colored kevlar vest, completely stab-proof and bullet-proof.
He also had grey combat pants. And, on his waist was a utility belt, filled with necessary items such as a small first aid kit, a small knife for protection, etc.
Now, to top it all off, he wore a white cloak that covered his whole body, with thin gold streaks that extended from his head to toe. And, thanks to the genius minds from U.A., it was made explosion-proof. To cover his identity, if he even can, was a simple yellow eye mask.
"Looking good, maggots!" their Heroics Teacher exclaimed, seeing their outfits.
"Now, let us begin! You'll be moving on to Phase Two! Indoor Combat Training!"
"Villain battles are most commonly seen outdoors, however, statistically, the most heinous Villains are more likely to appear indoors." All Might told them in a serious tone.
"This will prepare you all if such a likely scenario ever happens! You'll now be split into Villain Teams and Hero Teams, facing each other off in two-on-two indoor battles!"
"The Villain Team will be hiding a nuclear weapon in the hideout, and the Hero Team will have to go in and take care of it! However, the Heroes have a limited amount of time to either apprehend the Villains or secure the weapon. The Villains must protect the weapon or capture the Heroes!" he explained, while not-so-stealthily reading a piece of paper that appeared out of nowhere.
"Your partners will be decided by... drawing lots!!!"
