Tanjiro stood in front of Izuku's home, he glanced at his phone looking at the previous text sent by Izuku that read that they needed to talk, Tanjiro looked at the door and knocked, the one who opened the door was Izuku who's right arm was in a sling and the other bandaged, "Hey Izuku, where's your mom?" Tanjiro couldn't smell the scent of Izuku's mother, only that she was here, "She just got in the shower." Izuku leads Tanjiro into the living room "What do you want to talk about?" Tanjiro sat on the sofa opposite the one Izuku sat on "It's about my, I mean, the quirk I was given." Tanjiro was confused at what he was just told, "I'm going to tell you this because you know when someone's lying, so here it is" Tanjiro didn't need his sense of smell to know that his friend was nervous, he saw Izukus fingers fidget and his palm were sweaty, "the name of my quirk is One for All, and I got it from All Might."
Izuku explained everything, from how he and All Might met, to the beach training, and what happened at the entrance exams, Tanjiro let out a deep sigh and leaned back, he didn't know what to say except "I get why this has to be kept secret, but I'm the last person you can ask to keep this a secret." Izuku was perplexed for a second until he realized what Tanjiro meant "Sorry, but you were the only one I feel like I can tell this to." Tanjiro nodded in understanding before standing up "It's Ok, I better head home, Curfews gonna start in an hour."
Tanjiro thought about what he was recently told as he walked home until an intense smell of blood hit his nose making him gag, he looked ahead, and walking down the street was a figure wearing a maroon hoodie and jeans, the figure had this monstrous aura that will make someone's blood run cold, and it only felt more intense the closer it got to Tanjiro, who was sweating buckets and his breathing became erratic and heavy, when the figure was right next to Tanjiro it whispered into his ear "In two weeks, be prepared to lose hope, my other half." The figure then slowly walked away chuckling leaving Tanjiro to process.
*2 Weeks later, Tanjiro's perspective*
That night was stuck in my head like a tree growing around an object in its way, worse yet I had another dream, well it felt more like a memory that was stuck in a loop, all I was doing in the loop was running through a mountain forest avoiding various traps and that was it, earlier today the news press broke through the schools' barrier causing a drill, "Hey! Tangyro, snap out of it!" I look to my right and find a snout pressed against my face, at this point I gave up on correcting Jason on pronouncing my name correctly.
"What is it?" Jason leaned back and lifted his suitcase into my view and simply said "Field trip.", "Jason it's not a field trip, we're just going to a different facility," Zenitsu said in a patronizing tone behind me, Jason snapped back at Zenitsu "On a bus, so it's a field trip!", he then handed me my suitcase "We better hurry because everyone left," he said as we walked out of the class.
as I put on my suit I noticed a folded sheet of paper taped to my tool, unfolding the paper, there was a note written on it.
*Back to our regular programming*
The air in the bus was buzzing with excitement, the class couldn't wait for what their test could be, "I wonder if you'll be using the Dance during the test?" Rita said to Tanjiro, the pink-skinned student, Mina, shifted her attention to what she just heard, and inquired about what Rita said loudly, soon the entire class except for Izuku, shifted their attention to the two brothers making Rita regret asking the question.
Tanjiro, having no reason not to tell anyone, explained, "Well, you see, my family had this tradition since the Sengoku Era where every year, on New Year's Eve to the morning, the eldest man in the family will dance nonstop outside repeating the same twelve movements from dusk till dawn, to ward away Yokai and spirits, my dad used to do it and though I haven't mastered it, I decided to adapt the Hinokami Kagura to fight, in his memory." Izuku and Rita looked at Tanjiro with confusion when he said the name of the dance "You mean the Dance of the Fire God, right?" questioned Rita.
minutes later the bus dropped the class off at a dome-shaped facility, "This is where the test is taking place, The Unforeseen Event Simulation Joint or the USJ" Itsuru lead the class into the USJ, though right before he entered, Zenitsu heard a voice he didn't recognize, a female one, "I better return to master, the prime targets here." Whatever spoke rustled leaves, Zenitsu noticed Jason looking in the same direction, yet also tracking something, "you noticed that as well?" Jason shook his head "Yeah, and it felt like it left, and I think I felt it before, whatever that worm thing was." Zenitsu didn't know what Jason meant about it being familiar 'probably just him being weird.' he thought.
Inside was a single room that took up the building, the room was built to simulate four different unpredictable events, earthquakes, floods, fires, and landslides, all areas surrounding a central area with a fountain accessed by a giant set of stairs, the top of which is where the class stood, also standing atop the staircase was an astronaut-themed Hero simply named 13 as some students exclaimed.
after 13 and Itsuru talked about something private, 13 explained the test, it was a test to teach the class to be aware of their environment while using their quirks, because not only can their dependability vary but they are very dangerous around civilians If used recklessly, though after the speech something dark, purple and misty appeared in front of the fountain, grabbing both Heroes attentions an then the classes, the mist then expanded into a large wall.
