(Fuyo's hero costume aboveee)

I walked through the tunnel, scratching the back of my head with a yawn. I was wearing my hero costume, along with the rest of my classmates.

My eyes quickly scanned the group of students, and I stopped on a tall form clad in some white armor. Who the hell is that?

"Hey, Doku! Come over here!" Uraraka grinned as she waved at me. I slowly made my way over to her.

"I like your costume! It's so cute!" She complimented me. I turned away, slightly flustered. I'm definitely not used to compliments.

"Uh- thanks..." I muttered.

"They say that clothes make the pros, young ladies and gentlemen, and behold, you are the proof! Take this to heart. From now on you are all..." All Might paused for dramatic effect.

"Heroes in training!" He finished, giving us his signature grin. "Now. Shall we get started, you buncha newbies?"

"Ah! Hey, Deku!" Uraraka called out to the green haired boy.

"Uraraka!" He replied, trotting up to her. His gaze traveled over to me, and a cold sweat ran down his face. "O-Oh hey, Doku!" He nervously greeted me, and I raised a brow at his costume.

"Hey." I replied, sluggishly lifting my arm. "What's with the bunny suit?" I looked him up and down, and he jumped.

"W-What?! Oh! That's not what it is! It's- it's nothing!" He panicked, glancing at All Might. Now that I think of it, his suit matches All Might's hair style.

"My mom made it. Of course I'm going to wear it." He let our a sheepish chuckle.

"I love your costume! Not too flashy, ya know?" Uraraka spoke up, and Midoriya's face flushed to a bright red as he noticed her skin tight costume.

My costume was also pretty fitting, but Midoriya seemed to be more scared than attracted to me.

"I should've been more specific about what I wanted. This bodysuit is skintight. Not really my style." Uraraka laughed lightly, and I sighed.

"Me too. I didn't think they'd give me these short ass shorts." I muttered, crossing my arms.

"I love this school!" The little purple haired boy drooled, and I let out another tired sigh.

"Now that you're ready, it's time for combat training!" All Might announced before being interrupted.

"Sir!" A familiar annoying voice emitted from the armor. My eyes widened in realization.

"Iida?!" I blurted, and he turned to look down at me. "What the hell is a dumb nerd like you doing in such a cool costume?!"

"Dumb... Ner...." He muttered, trailing off. "I will take that as a compliment, Miss Doku." He spoke up, and I scoffed.

"In your dreams, four-eyes." I replied with a frown, and he let out a sigh.

"Anyways, allow me to announce my question. This is the fake city from our entrance exam. Does that mean that we'll be conducting urban battles again?" He asked.

"Not quite. I'm going to move you two steps ahead. Most of the villain fights
you see on the news take place outside. However, statistically speaking, run‐ins with the most dastardly evildoers take place indoors." All Might explained, and my classmates gasped. Since I was exposed to many major villains from a young age, I already knew this information.

"Think about it. Backroom deals, home invasions, secret underground lairs. Truly intelligent criminals stay hidden in the shadows. For this training exercise, you'll be split into teams of good guys and bad guys and fight two‐on‐two indoor battles." He instructed.

"Isn't this a little advanced?" The frog girl, I think her same as Tsu, asked.

"The best training is what you get on the battlefield!" All Might grinned. "But remember, you can't just punch a robot this time. You're dealing with actual people now."

Good. Those robots were a pain in the ass with my quirk.

"Sir, will you be the one deciding who wins?" The girl with the black hair, Yaoyorozu, spoke up.

"How much can we hurt the other team?" A menacing grin stretched across Bakugo's face.

"Do we need to worry about the losers getting expelled like earlier?" Uraraka added.

"Will you be splitting us up based on chance or comparative skill?" Iida rose his hand.

"Isn't this cape très chic?" Aoyama, the fancy blonde, flaunted his cape.

"I wasn't finished talking!" All Might tensed, overwhelmed by the questions. "Listen up." He then pulled out a set of papers.

"A script?" Midoriya muttered, and I raised a brow at the pro hero.

"The situation is this. The villains have
hidden a nuclear missile somewhere in their hideout. The heroes must try to foil their plans. To do that, the good guys either have to catch the evildoers or recover the weapon. Likewise, the bad guys succeed if they protect their payload or capture the heroes." All Might explained.

I tensed, nervous that'd I'd be a villain. The idea of being the thing that everyone labels me as makes me extremely uncomfortable.

"Time's limited, and we'll choose teams by drawing lots!" All Might pulled out a box with a hole in the top.

"Isn't there a better way?" Iida asked.

"Why do you even care?" I sighed, and the boy scoffed at my rude remark.

"Think about it! Pros often have to team up with heroes from other agencies on the spot, so maybe that's the reason we're seeing that here." Midoriya spoke up.

"Yes, I see. Life is a random series of events. Thank you for your useful response, unlike Doku." He nodded to Midoriya, his tone dripping with annoyance as he said my name. I snickered quietly, and shrugged.

"Please excuse our rudeness." He apologized to All Might.

"No sweat." He replied. "Oh! I almost forgot!" He exclaimed, and we all stared at him in confusion.

"Due to the odd number of students, there will be two teams of three. One of the members of the team of three will have to go twice, in order to give everyone fair fight." He explained, and I frowned. Being on a team of three would suck, I better not be on one.

"Got it? Now, let's draw!" The man grinned, and I yawned. As long as I'm not on a team with that loser Iida, I should be fine.

I watched as my classmates dig into the box before lowering my own hand into it. I pulled out a card with the letter D on it.

I looked up to see my two least favorite classmates. Iida and Bakugo.

"Great. Just my luck." I muttered, crossing my arms.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT ME?! I'LL KILL YOU!" Bakugo yelled, threatening me with his hand.

"Shut up man, I'm more disappointed about being on the same team as Mr. Safety Patrol over there." I pointed at Iida, who jumped in offense. Bakugo laughed loudly, acting as if he wasn't just screaming at me a second ago.

"How did I end up with two of the most careless unrefined hooligans in the class?" Iida complained to himself, shaking his head.

"I declare that the first teams to fight will be..." All Might dug his hands into two boxes "These guys!" He pulled out both team A, and D.

I looked over at team A to see Midoriya, Uraraka, and Yaoyorozu. After seeing Midoriya's stunt during the entrance exam, I knew this wouldn't be easy.

"Team A will be the heroes, Team D will be the villains." All Might announced, and I tensed, my breath hitching in my throat. He looked up from the cards, and straight at me for a moment.

"Wait! Hold on!" All Might yelled as he held up his hand. "Doku. Switch places with Yaoyorozu, please!" He grinned, and I blinked.

"Yes sir." Yaoyorozu complied, walking over to my team.

"Huh? But why?" Midoriya looked up at All Might in confusion.

"I feel like the match up of those three will prove to be quite problematic, so I'm moving them around a bit." All Might replied, but I knew it was a lie.

He didn't want me to feel uncomfortable about being put on the villain team. I was still slightly shocked as I walked away from Bakugo and Iida, and over to Midoriya and Uraraka.

Why would All Might do something like that for me? I thought that the teachers would all hate me since they know my identity. I honestly thought I'd get kicked out.

"Hey Doku! Man, I couldn't have asked for a better team!" Uraraka cheered, yanking me out of my thoughts.

"I'm just glad that I'm not working with those two sad excuses for tolerable people." I sighed, shaking my head. I earned a loud growl from Bakugo and an offended scoffed from Iida.

"Everyone else can head to the monitoring room to watch!" All Might directed everyone to a room in one of the abandoned buildings.

I caught Bakugo glaring at Midoriya, and I watched the boy flinch. He quickly regained his composure, and looked straight back at Bakugo in confidence. This act surprised the blonde, and he sneered lowly at Midoriya.

Iida, Yaoyorozu, and Bakugo entered the building as my team and I stood outside, instructed to compose some sort of plan.

"Ya think they expect us to memorize this building's floor plan? It's so big!" Uraraka joked, holding the layout of the building in front of her face.

"You know. All Might's just as cool in

person as he is on television! I'm glad he's not threatening us with some kind of punishment like Mr. Aizawa. We can relax‐" The girl looked up from the paper, and over at Midoriya. "Ah! You're sweating through your costume!"

"Uh. Well. It's just because we're up against Kacchan. Plus there's Iida, too."

"Gross." I interrupted.

"We should be on our guard, who knows what they'll pull." Midoriya finished.

"And Doku seems to have some sort of rivalry with Iida." He added, and I scoffed.

"That nerd deserves the hatred I give him. At least I'm not as much of a jerk as Bakugo." I stated, frowning at the thought of both the explosive blonde, and the nerdy class pet.

"Oh, right. Bakugo. He's the one who's always making fun of you." Uraraka spoke softly to Midoriya, and I turned to look at the nervous boy.

"Just beat the asshole up." I bluntly stated, and Midoriya flinched violently.

"But he's amazing! He can be a real pain, sure. But his strength and confidence... and his ambition... Not to mention his quirk. They're all so much
greater than mine." Midoriya muttered before catching himself, and shutting up.

"All that praise you give him is why his ego reaches mars." I leaned against the railing behind me, crossing my arms.

"Well... He really is impressive. But that just means I have to do better." Midoriya straightened up, trying to boost his confidence. "I refuse to lose today."

"So it's a fated battle between rivals? Uraraka asked.

"Oh, not that I'm trying to get you guys wrapped up in my fight or anything!" Deku exclaimed, frantically waving his hands.

"Are you kidding? We're a team, right?Let's win this!" Uraraka grinned, pumping her fist in the air.

"All right! Let's begin the indoor
combat training! Team A and Team D,
your time starts now!" All Might announced, and we immediately headed for the window.

"And just like that, we're in." Uraraka whispered as she climbed through the window. I followed behind her, hopping swiftly into the building.

"Careful, there are a lot of blind spots." Midoriya warned, and we nodded.

We quietly made our way through the building, making sure to be cautious of the other team.

We rounded a corner, and Bakugo suddenly sprung out from a hallway, aiming his attack at Midoriya. I jumped back, pulling Uraraka out of the way.

"Uraraka, you okay?" Midoriya asked as I pulled the girl up from the ground.

"I'm fine. Thanks!" She replied, also thanking me.

"Oh! Deku!" She exclaimed noticing the damage Midoriya took. His costume was singed from Bakugo's explosion.

"It's just my mask." He reassured her.

"What's the matter, Deku? Afraid to stand up and fight me?" Bakugo grinned maliciously at Midoriya, ready to attack again.

"I knew you'd come at me first! And figured you'd try to catch me by surprise." Midoriya replied, panting slightly from his panic.

"I won't hurt you so bad they'll have to stop the fight!" Bakugo screamed as he ran at Midoriya. I took this opportunity to quietly back away, running down a different hallway, going unnoticed.

I thought about the layout of the building, and figured that they'd keep the weapon somewhere on a higher floor. I continued to make my way through the building, trying to travel up.

A javiline shot out from one of the hallways, and I stopped dead in my tracks. The pole impaled the wall inches in front of my face.

"Are you trying to kill me?!" I exclaimed, surprised by the aggressiveness of the attack.

"Stop right there! I won't let you get to the weapon!" Yaoyorozu called out from the depths of the hallway before running at me with a spear.

I jumped back, trying to create some distance between us. I quickly created a needle, hiding it in my hand. Yaoyorozu swung the long spear at my head, and I ducked under it. She then aimed for my legs, so I swiftly jumped over it. I launched myself off the ground, jumping over the girl.

As I was above her, I threw one of my needles at her. I hadn't laced it with too much poison, subconsciously afraid to badly injure her.

The needle impaled her arm, and she winced in pain. She then stumbled back, feeling the affects of my poison almost immediately.

"W-What did you do to me?!" She gasped, grasping onto the wall.

"That needle is laced with my body's posion." I stated, staring at the girl.

"P-Poison?!" She exclaimed, and I turned to start running again.

Yaoyorozu suddenly sprung back up, swinging her spear at me again. O couldn't dodge in time, and the blade slice my arm. I winced slightly in pain.

Well, I'm glad I was able to dodge the attack enough so that I wasn't completely stabbed.

I quickly recovered, and Yaoyorozu charged at me with the white tape to capture a hero with.

I quickly procuded two needles, throwing them at her. This time the needles were laced with my other posion. The one that allows me to paralyze my opponent.

The needles impaled her arms, causing them to quickly dropped limply beside her body. The white tape rolled to the ground, and I quickly picked it up. I shoved it into one of my pockets before dodging a kick from Yaoyorozu.

"You paralyzed my arms!? How many tricks do you have up your sleve?!" She exclaimed, and I attempted to sweep her legs out from under her. However, she quickly dodged my attack.

"If I told you, it'd ruin the surprise." I smirked. She jumped back, looking down at her arms. I could tell she was trying to formulate a plan.

Suddenly, Uraraka attempted to kick Yaoyorozu from behind. The girl swiftly spun around, creating a shield from her stomach.

"Doku! I found you!" Uraraka yelled from the other side of Yaoyorozu.

"Yeah, sorry for running off. I wanted to go unnoticed." I apologized.

"That's alright! Now go!" She yelled. "I'll hold Yaoyorozu back, go find the weapon!"

I nodded before running down the hallway, continuing to try and find the weapon. I almost tripped as I realized something. The only villain left was Iida. Man, don't tell me I have to deal with that nerd in order to get the weapon!
