"IT'S ME! THROUGH THE DOOR, LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" I hear an infamous voice boast.
Into the classroom enters the one and only All Might. The students are energized. I can hear chatters of how excited they are to be taught by All Might. But I simply cover my ears and observe All Might with keen interest.
Japan's Number One hero. The "Symbol of Peace." Has been for decades. He's so popular that he is known overseas. Even in England, I had heard of him. I haven't seen any of the footage where he uses his quirk because it was obvious that he had a terrifyingly powerful one. Just watching one such video would have forced me to absorb it and suffer. However, word of mouth is enough to know his reputation. The people here practically treat him like a god. His signature smile and catchphrase appear on almost every hero poster. He's good with the media, an icon to the public, an ally to the police, and a force to be reckoned with by criminals.
If I can curry his favor ...
If I succeed in obtaining All Might's support, it will catalyze the Hanada Group of Companies venture and possibly give me a reprieve from the torture sessions for at least three months.
Having found a new target, I lean back in my seat and watch him with cool eyes.
All Might raises the overall excitement in the classroom with his next words. "Foundational Hero Studies! For this class, we'll be building up your hero foundation through various trials! Let's jump right in with this! THE TRIAL OF BATTLE!"
The students quiet down immediately after hearing that, but not for long.
All Might continues, "And to go with your first battle, we've prepared the gear we had you send in requests for to match your quirks! LOOK HERE!" Rows of shelves with numbered suitcases appear from the sidewall.
Now the class is yelling and shouting in fervor and passion. These students have a lot of energy despite being adolescents. I think I slightly underestimated exactly how much he is revered.
I glance at Todoroki-kun. He's excited about this ordeal too. It is obvious by his smirk.
All Might tosses these suitcases to their respective students, and mine lands on the desk with a clang.
He dismisses us. "Get changed and we'll be ready to go! Everyone gather at Grounds Beta! The garb you bring into the battlefield is vitally important, boys and girls! And don't forget! From here on out, you're all officially HEROES!"
He has to end the last word in every paragraph in capitals, doesn't he?
