3 2nd Day
"My quirk's called solar absorb," she began to explain, her voice carrying a hint of enthusiasm. "I stockpile solar energy and use it for power. I can do a bunch of stuff with it, but I can't really turn it off, so I have to be careful."
"That's incredible!" Izuku exclaimed, his words echoing the sentiments of the rest of the class.
"It doesn't matter what your quirk is, Goldy Locks!" Bakugo abruptly shouted, "I'll surpass you just like the rest of these idiots!" Closing the distance between them. "I'll be number one," he growled, his tone and expression exuding an ominous intensity
"Hey, man, chill out," Kirishima interjected, attempting to calm Bakugo down. Ignoring the attempt, Bakugo forcefully pushed past him and headed for the door, intending to leave.
"Number one?" Himari tilted her head and questioned, halting Bakugo in his tracks as he turned around to exit. "I don't wanna be number one."
Bakugo's expression shifted from shock to anger. "Then why are you even here?!" he shouted, striding back toward her, ready to confront.
"I just want to help people," Himari calmly responded, her words cutting through the tension, causing Bakugo to halt in his tracks.
"Yeah, well, that doesn't change what I gotta do," the angry boy said, his tone notably calmer than before, before exiting through the doors.
"What a jerk," Jiro remarked from her desk as she prepared to leave.
"Yeah, he's kind of scary!" Mina exclaimed, sharing her apprehension about Bakugo's intensity.
As the scene wound down, everyone began packing up and making their way out. Himari caught sight of Izuku, Iida, and Ochaco on their way to the station.
"Are you guys heading to the station?" she asked. "Sure are!" Ochaco responded enthusiastically. "You were incredible in the tests!" she praised, pumping her fist in the air. "Yes, you were quite amazing, Charlotte-san," Iida chimed in.
"I got really worried for a minute, though. I mean, expulsion on the first day!" the bubbly girl added with a chuckle.
As they continued their conversation, they eventually split off, each heading their separate ways home.
——————————————-
"I'm home," the golden-haired girl announced as she stepped into her house, though her smile seemed dimmer compared to earlier in the day.
'She's not here again,' she noted, glancing at the absence of shoes near the entrance. Slipping off her own shoes, she made her way to her room. Dropping her bag on the ground, she walked over to her bed and crouched down, reaching underneath to retrieve a notebook. The title of the notebook was blank, but as she flipped it open, numerous pages filled with writing came into view.
"I'm 100% sure after today. I'm truly in the canon timeline," she muttered to herself, flipping through the notebook that contained all the knowledge she'd compiled about My Hero Academia since a young age. After jotting something down, she closed the book, returned it beneath her bed, and left her room.
'I need some sun,' she thought, stepping out of the apartment and swiftly soaring to the rooftop. There, she laid down, letting the sun's rays envelop her, a feeling akin to a comforting embrace, rejuvenating her and lifting her spirits, reminiscent of being hugged by her mother.
'Tomorrow will be fun,' she concluded in her mind, as she relaxed under the sun's warmth, letting it lull her into a peaceful slumber.
-------------------------------------------
"I AM HERE!" All Might's booming voice echoed as he burst into the classroom, exclaiming, "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A HERO!"
"I can't believe All Might's really going to be teaching!" one student exclaimed, while another added, "That design is so Silver Age, it's giving me goosebumps!" Voices erupted from their desks, expressing their excitement.
"THIS IS FOUNDATIONAL HERO STUDIES," he began, emphasizing each word. Then, flexing his muscles dramatically, he continued, "NOW," holding up a card that read BATTLE, "LET'S JUMP RIGHT IN!"
"Fight training," Bakugo exclaimed enthusiastically from his desk.
"AND TO GO WITH YOUR BATTLE..." All Might announced, pressing a button that caused compartments in the wall to open, revealing numbered cases. "WE'VE PREPARED THE GEAR YOU REQUESTED TO MATCH YOUR QUIRKS," he finished, his voice carrying an air of excitement.
"Our battle gear!" several students cheered in unison, their excitement palpable throughout the classroom.
"GET CHANGED AND HEAD TO GROUNDS BETA."
-----------------------------
As everyone changed into their costumes and filed out through the tunnel to the training grounds, they found All Might waiting for them.
"Wow, Himari! You look awesome!" Mina exclaimed. (outfit resembling the one on the cover, except her blue skirt was now a vibrant red.)
"Thank you, Mina! Your costume looks fantastic too!" Himari replied with a cheerful and infectious smile.
"Oh man" a purple thing drooled off to the side
"THIS WILL BE AN INDOOR BATTLE TRIAL!" All Might's booming voice grabbed their attention.
"FOR THIS TEST, YOU'LL SEPARATE INTO VILLAIN AND HERO GROUPS. IT'LL BE A TWO-ON-TWO TEAM BATTLE," All Might explained, the seriousness underlying his enthusiastic tone. "YOUR TEAMMATES AND OPPONENTS WILL BE CHOSEN BY LOTTERY," he concluded.
"Is that really the method we'll use?" questioned Iida, seeking clarification with a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
"Well, pros are often forced to make impromptu team-ups with other heroes they might not know, so this is probably testing that," Izuku explained, offering some insight into the reasoning behind the method.
"I see...! I apologize for the interruption," Iida responded, acknowledging his earlier interruption.
"NO SWEAT," All Might replied, his voice steady but perhaps showing a slight tremor, as he attempted to reassure them.
After everyone pulled there letter the teams were set
"Looks like I've got a partner in you, big guy," the golden-haired girl remarked, her smile brightening as she turned to the tall boy in the yellow costume.
"Ah, yeah, I'm Rikido Sato. Pleasure to meet you," he replied, a hint of shyness lacing his introduction.
"My name's Himari Charlotte, and I'm really looking forward to this battle! Are you?" she exclaimed, a vibrant smile lighting up her face.
"Yeah, me t—" He was about to finish when All Might's voice boomed.
"AND THE FIRST TO FIGHT ARE THESE GUYS!" he announced, emphasizing his words. "TEAM A WILL BE HEROES, AND TEAM D WILL BE VILLAINS!"
"EVERYONE ELSE, FOLLOW ME TO THE MONITORING ROOM AS THE TEAMS PREPARE!" All Might's voice commanded as he set off on his path, leading the way while the students swiftly fell in behind him.
-------------------------------
"NOW WATCH AND HATCH STRATEGIES OF YOUR OWN!" All Might's voice echoed as all the students gathered in the monitoring room. The space was adorned with numerous monitors displaying various angles of the building, its interiors, and live feeds of the two teams navigating through.
"NOW OBSERVE CLOSEY AND STARTEGIZE!" All Might reiterated, his voice resonating through the room, encouraging the students to analyze the unfolding events and craft their own tactical approaches.
At the forefront, Himari stood with her arms crossed, wearing a confident smile and an expectant gaze, fully prepared for the battle about to unfold.
BOOM! An explosion rocked the area, causing Izuku and Ochaco to leap back in surprise.
"A sudden ambush!" one student shouted in alarm.
The two boys engaged in combat as Ochaco fled, but the monitors didn't display any audio, despite it being apparent that they were conversing with each other.
"Are we able to get audio, All Might-sensei?" the golden-haired girl inquired.
"TEMMATES CAN COMMUNICATE THROUGH WIRELESS TRANSCEIVERS! AND THEY ALL HAVE A ROUGH SKETCH OF THE BUILDING. AND THEN, THERE'S THIS CAPTURE TAPE," he explained, displaying the tape for everyone to see.
"The time limit is 15 minutes, and the heroes don't know where the core is being held, right?" Kirishima asked.
"YES," came the firm reply from All Might.
"So, no audio?" Himari inquired, but her question was quickly overshadowed by Mina's next statement.
"The hero side is at a heavy disadvantage in this scenario?" Mina voiced the concern that seemed to resonate among the group.
"DIDN'T AIZAWA TEACH YOU KIDS OUR MOTTO? SAY IT WITH ME NOW!" All Might's voice boomed through the room.
"PLUS ULTRA!" Most of the class exclaimed, but the chant was interrupted by Aoyama's sudden exclamation, "Ah, Monsieur Bakugo!"
Izuku and Bakugo continued their intense confrontation until both boys began shouting at each other. As their conflict escalated, they both charged at one another, preparing for their final attacks. However, at the last moment, Izuku diverted his attack toward the ceiling, causing an explosive impact that shook the building, creating an opening for Ochaco to reach the bomb and touch it.
After a deafening silence that lingered for a few moments, All Might erupted with exhilaration:
"THE HERO TEAM.... WIIIIINNNNSSS!!!"
