The next morning, the students of Class 1-A gathered in their classroom, only to be greeted by a towering presence at the door.
"I'm going through the door like a normal person!"
All Might stood there, his signature smile radiating confidence and inspiration. The room erupted with cheers and murmurs of excitement as their beloved hero entered.
"Good morning, Class 1-A!" All Might's voice boomed. "Today, we'll be doing a special combat training session… with me as your instructor!"
The announcement caused a wave of energy to ripple through the room. Everyone couldn't wait to see what was in store. All Might motioned for them to follow him, leading the group to Ground Beta, the familiar mock city used in the entrance exams.
As they arrived, a collection of lockers was revealed, each containing their customized hero costumes.
The students quickly suited up, excitement in the air as they stepped out one by one, showcasing their unique styles and personas.
Izuku looked at his costume with mixed emotions—it was a slight upgrade to his original concept, incorporating modern materials and a sleeker design but it had the same designer, his mom.
She simply was too excited after he told her that he awakened his quirk, after a quick Quirk registration with the help of All Might's knowledge, she spent many days weaving him a Hero suit, eventually she made it almost the same but without the ears and added a plastic mask.
Izuku decided to keep this suit as a memorial after he requests a suit from the support department.
'How nice, I wish my mom's still alive...' the silhouette of banjo spoke with yearning and emotion.
'May she rest in pieces, Banjo-san'
'Thank you, Shimura-cha- wait you said pieces?! You said pieces just now you demonic bitch?!'
'Ara, you're imagining things, Banjo-san'
'Oi Izuku, she said pieces, right?!'
'Sorry, I wasn't listening, I was just enjoying being the only one who is not motherless.'
'...' x2

Once everyone was ready, All Might began explaining the day's activity.
"Heroes!" All Might's voice carried authority and enthusiasm. "Today's exercise is a battle trial, focusing on indoor combat scenarios. In real life, many conflicts take place inside buildings, where civilians are often in harm's way. You'll be split into teams of two: heroes and villains. The heroes' objective is to secure the bomb or subdue the villains, while the villains must protect it or neutralize the heroes until the countdown ends. Teamwork and strategy are key!"
The students nodded, their determination evident as they hung on to his every word, absorbing it like a sponge.
"The battle will take place in Ground Beta, where we've set up several indoor locations," All Might continued. "Villains, you'll have time to strategize and set up defenses before the heroes enter. Heroes, your task is to infiltrate and succeed without getting caught!"
A question popped up from the group. "What happens if we go too far with damage?" asked Iida, adjusting his glasses.
All Might's smile remained, but his tone grew serious. "Remember, being a hero isn't about showing off your power. If you destroy too much, you're putting civilians in danger. That will be taken into account."
The class nodded again, the stakes of the exercise sinking in.

As everyone paired up, Izuku found himself talking to Shinso, who stood to the side with his usual calm demeanor.
"This test seems straightforward," Shinso commented, his eyes flickering to Izuku. "But I get the feeling you're going to make a big impression again."
Izuku chuckled lightly. "Just doing my best, Shinso. What about you?"
Shinso smiled faintly. "I've got Momo on my team. I'll make it work, but seriously, your quirk is basically built for physical confrontation"
"It's not that versatile, I simply punch really hard, compared with other special quirks it's not that great"
'Cough, bullshit, Cough.'
'STFU, Banjo!'
"Not that great? Are you serious... I wish my quirk was like yours"
"Oh yeah? And whats your quirk?"
"....it's a bit... creepy"
"Don't worry, you know me enough to know that I don't judge others easily."
'Cap.'
'Banjo if you don't shut the fu--'
"True....well, it's M-Mind control, it works via sound"
"Holy shit. That's so cool, you could pair it up with a sound mimicking device to confuse villains and subdue them!"
"Huh....I never thought about it like that... you're really smart, Midorya"
"Haha, call me Izuku."
"O-oh...okay"
---
The first few matches went off as expected, with students showcasing their Quirks and strategies. When it was Shinso and Momo's turn, Shinso's quick thinking came into play.
"Yaoyorozu-san," he said, looking at her with an analytical gaze. "Can you create a sound recording and replicating device?"
Momo though for a second and nodded confidently. "Of course. But why?"
"My quirk works via sound, it's mind control"
"Oh, that's Clever thinking, Shinso-san"
"Thanks, but its Midorya's idea, he's really smart"
"Midorya...? Hmm..." Momo's opinion of Izuku Midorya was that he was simply a promising hero but as she remembered how he beat her in the written exam she couldn't help but be impressed.
'He has the brain and the brawn... Interesting guy.'
As she worked, Shinso outlined his plan. "Once it's ready, I want you to taunt the villains. Say something provocative. If they respond verbally, I'll handle the rest."
Momo smirked, understanding his strategy. "Got it."
'So his Quirk requires a response...'
With the device complete, the test started.
Shinso and Yaoyorozu ran into the building, Momo held a small sound bomb and multiple flash bangs.
Kyoka Jiro hid in the 2nd floor with the bomb while Denki Kaminari intercepted them, upon seeing the two Denki directly used a powerful current of electricity to attack them, Momo reacted quickly and an insulated blanked coated her and Shinso.
"Is that all you got?" Momo taunted.
"I've only just began!"
Shinso adjusted his device after he recorded their voices.
"Your attack was weak, Kaminari-kun!"
"Then try to block thi-" Denki's entire body froze.
"Where is the bomb?" Shinso got out of the blanket and spoke calmly.
"It's on...the 2nd floor... First room"
"Yaoyorozu-san."
"Yes!" Momo created a rope to shackle Kaminari.
Shinso dashed to the 2nd floor, a flash bang and a small sound bomb in his two hands, he threw them into the first room and blocked his ears and eyes.
Jirou looked at the two rolling devices that were approaching her in confusion, she has never seen something like this.
The bombs were disguised as toys.
A bright light attacked her eyes, followed by a loud deafening wave, she clutched her ears as the Bright light caused her eyes to cry and close shut tightly.
She fell down in pain, Shinso dashed in and touched the bomb.
Their victory was clean and efficient, earning praise from All Might.
"Now, who was the MVP?" All Might asked.
"Clearly it's Yaourozu-san, she made the disguised sound bombs, the mimicking sound device, the flash bangs and the rope to shackle Kaminari, while Shinso did well with his plan he simply relied heavily on Yaourozu-san's help and the element of surprise."
'You sound like a nerd' Banjo said casually.
'Can't argue with that, her quirk is very versatile, if I had it I'd create guns 24/7'
'You've got the heart of a true American, kid'
'I had many American friends in my past life, especially black people.'
'I know where this is going and no, you can't say the N-word.'
'Tsk.'
"Correct observation, young Midorya, the MVP was Momo Yaoyorozu!"
All Might watched his student with pride, Izuku was quite perceptive, he was smart.
'As expected of the 9th, I simply can't compare!'
---
Finally, it was Izuku and Uraraka's turn to face off against Iida and Bakugo.
The moment the battle started, Bakugo charged at Izuku like a raging storm. His palms exploded with fiery blasts as he closed the distance.
"Uraraka, go ahead, I've got this."
"B-be careful"
"You think you're so great, huh?!" Bakugo snarled, his eyes blazing with fury. "Topping the exam, acting all cool—you're still the same damn Deku to me!"
Izuku didn't respond, keeping his focus razor-sharp as he dodged Bakugo's attacks with ease using Sharingan, he could see each muscle movement in slow motion and predict his attacks.
Bakugo's mind raced as he attacked relentlessly. 'He's different now… he's stronger. Smarter. I can't hold back—not against him.' His muscles tensed as he launched a particularly massive explosion, aiming to catch Izuku off guard, he pulled the trigger on his gauntlet with a dangerous smirk.
'Careful kid, your hair might burn'
'Don't worry, Nana-san, I'm flicking small attacks with my fingers to push the heat'
'Good thinking, always protect the head.'
All Might frowned, he had told them about avoiding property damage but Bakugo ignored his warning.
But Izuku had been preparing for this. Using One for All, he darted to the side with lightning speed, countering with a powerful punch aimed at Bakugo's side.
'OFA 4%'
"Light Impact."
Bakugo barely managed to block it, the force of the impact sending him skidding back and going through a wall.
"You've improved," Izuku admitted, his voice calm yet firm as he walked towards him slowly.
"Shut up!" Bakugo growled, launching himself forward again, ignoring the pain.
The clash between them grew more intense, with Bakugo's explosions lighting up the darkened building.
Izuku's Hero Aura subtly took effect, increasing his stamina and resilience while slightly dampening Bakugo's confidence. It was a brutal, close-quarters fight, Bakugo was giving it his all.
Yet, Izuku has decided that he has had enough, he was on a time limit, he punched him hard with 7%, sending him out of the entire building and knocked him into dreamland.
'Stay down, Bakugo, you've fought hard.'
Izuku looked at his surroundings and the Distruction his fight with Bakugo had caused.
'Fuck it.'
'Izuku, remember Toshi's warning about the property damage' Nana quickly interjected.
'I don't care anymore, I'm done with this nonsense, the explosions gave me a headache.'
'OFA 25%'
With a precise movement, he unleashed a punch directly into the ceiling above them.
The mighty blow caused the building to tremble, chunks of debris falling and scattering everywhere.
In the chaos, Uraraka seized her chance. She picked up a huge pillar, floated it and slammed it into Iida, sending him sprawling.
'Ahahaha! She smacked him with a fucking pillar!' Banjo's laughter was infectious.
Izuku evaded the falling debris and watched as she reached out and touched the bomb, securing victory for their team.
The buzzer sounded, signaling the end of the match.

'Oh shit, Izuku! You got playful cloud!' Banjo's voice was boiling with excitement.
'This thing is basically made for you' Nana quickly interjected.
'I'm happier about the Charm II thing, I'll basically become perfect! Strength, smarts and looks, imagine if I got Charm III, that'd make me basically a freaking god among men!'
'Calm down, Romeo, you're still bitchless'
'Meh, let him enjoy it, at least he'll look good while getting the shit beaten out of him by that Nomu'
'...'
'And didn't you say you had a Juliet??'
'Speaking of Juliet' Nana interrupted the two's musing and made them focus on the oncoming girl.
Uraraka bounced from the second floor, her feet nimble and her movement unbound by gravity.
"We did it, Deku!" Her face was absolutely thrilled.
'Hahahahaha! She called you Deku!'
'And she said it with an absolutely thrilled face! Hahaha!'
'I'm exorcizing you two someday.'
"Call me Izuku, Uraraka-san, that nickname means useless"
Uraraka's face showed surprise "O-oh..." she stammered "I thought it meant capable since it was close to Dekiru..." She lowered her head with guilt.
'Ahhh she so freaking cute!'
Izuku ignored the internal screaming of Nana, although even he was critically injured by the cute girl's guilty face.
"Haha, don't worry about it, Uraraka-san, no harm is done"
"O-okay... I-Izuku.." Uraraka twirled with her fingers as she said his first name shyly.
'Ahhhhhh!---' Nana lost her control and collapsed.
'But still... playful cloud, huh...' Banjo mused while touching his chin.
Izuku remembered how terrifying this three-section staff is in JJK and how it works without the need for cursed energy.
'The JJK universe is on another level, a 1 finger Sukuna will mop all the people in this verse, not even debatable, except for a specific few like Shigaraki Tomura after getting his body modified.'
'Dismantle and Fuga is one thing, domain expansion is another and fucking centuries of hand-to-hand combat experience'
Izuku looked at the icon of Playful Cloud in his system storage.
'I have to admit, this is my trump card, with this I'll humble that Nomu'
---
The students gathered back outside as All Might reviewed their performances. While he has some critiques towards Izuku, he forgave him since he was the MVP, he commended Izuku and Uraraka for their teamwork and ingenuity.
"Bakugo, back to you, you caused too much distruction and failed to defeat the heroes, you failed the test."
"..."
Izuku's chest swelled with pride, but he kept his expression modest. He glanced at Bakugo, who stood off to the side, his fists clenched tightly as he glared at the ground.
'Oi Izuku, I think you went overboard on the kid' Nana's figure floated near his head with a frown.
'He would have done the same to me, he unleashed two massive gauntlet bombs at me'
'You're older and wiser, be the bigger person'
'I'd rather be the problem.'
'...'
And just like that, the day ended with Izuku and Uraraka walking to the train station together into their home, after all, Ochaku's home was on the same route.
Izuku returned home and saw a note from his mom on the fridge, he read it quickly.
'Izuku, sweety I decided to spend some time at the Gym, to have a fresh breath, dinner is ready just heat it, I'll be back in a couple of hours.'
"Hmmm... Nana."
'Yes?'
"My mother never went to Gym before, explain this please, you're a woman after all."
'Isn't it obvious? She's trying to improve herself'
'But why? That didn't happen in cannon' Banjo interjected.
"Hmm... could it be..?"
'Good guess, why would she do that otherwise'
'Thats crazy, are you okay with this, Izuku' Banjo said, surprised.
"I support it, she deserves happiness, Yagi-sensei also deserves it as well.'
Izuku heated the food, put on his earbuds, turned on the music and started doing push-ups again.
'More... More... I need to grow stronger...USJ is close... I can't allow AFO to harm my potential father... To let him set his eyes on my mother... To let him destroy all of Japan like in cannon.'
198..
723..
4,820..
13,009..
Izuku spent a long-time doing push-ups, he used his Speed III to its maximum potential to go as fast as possible, his Stamina III helped him immensely.
With that, Izuku slept soundly after greeting his mother and taking a shower.
Izuku opened his eyes in the void, the figure of Nana and Banjo beside him.
He groaned "Not again..."
A lean man with short, beige hair that parts away from the base of his forehead, and thin, green eyes that slant slightly downward. He had a two scar-like cracks stretching from the left side of his forehead down to his chin.
"You are..." Izuku tried to remember his name from the anime but failed.
"I'm the 4th user of OFA, Hikage Shinomori, I'm honored to finally meet you, Shishido-kun."
