As we got back to class everyone started gathering at their friends' desks, and I just sat in mine off to the side. *Well, this suits me just fine.* I started zoning out a little as the class chatted until the next class period started.

"I AM... coming through the door like a normal person!!!" All Might shouted as he entered the classroom drawing everyone's attention. I mentally facepalmed, *That's not how a normal person enters a room All Might. We gotta work on that.* The other students marveled that he was really teaching at UA as he explained that he was the Hero Basic Training teacher. "And what we'll be doing today is Combat Training!" He said after striking a pose and holding a card that read 'Battle'. "And to go with that are these!" he added and pointed at the wall as compartments slid out revealing the cases with our new costumes in them. "After you change meet in Ground Beta."

In the Locker Room:

"Hey Kuro?" Kaminari asked, after poking my side to get my attention. I looked at him with a 'Yes? Do you need something face?' because my hands were occupied. "Why are you putting on the gym uniform? Don't you have a costume?" That got the others attention as well and they all walked over, putting on pieces of their costumes as they did. I finished putting on the jacket and rolled up the sleaves then answered. "Yes I do it's just the support group hasn't actually finished making mine yet so for better or worse I'm stuck with this. And I can tell by the looks on some of your faces that you have another question. And the answer is yes, I do keep these wraps on almost all the time." When everyone had finished putting on their new suits, I had to guide them to Ground Beta because none of them knew how to get there from the locker rooms.

"They say the clothes make the man, young men and ladies. Be fully aware... From now on you are heroes!" All Might told us as we walked out of the tunnel and into the testing area. After giving us some time to chat with each other he started explaining what we would be doing for this exercise. "For this training you will be split into teams and have a two-v-two battle. We'll draw lots to decide what the teams are."

Ojiro raised his hand and asked, "But there are 21 of us so there will be an odd one out. Is there a solution to this?" I looked at him strangely then looked around and realized that all the others were wondering the same thing. Mentally facepalming I started signing, "Guys, today I'm not here to fight, I'll just be watching you guys and coming up with ideas on how you can use your quirks better." They all just looked at me *Did you guys even listen to Mr. Aizawa earlier?* I just sighed and gave them a brief explanation. "My level of skill in combat is equal to or greater than most pros so if I were serious none of you would stand a chance of winning"

"He is telling the truth. If I went against him, I would win but it would not be an easy fight, and we would both come out very injured." Everyone stared at All Might after that comment, I looked at their faces and Bakugo and Todoroki gave me looks that said: 'I'll believe that when I see it.' *What's their deal?* I raised my hand and when All Might saw it he nodded to let me ask my question.

"Can we hold some mock battles after this for anyone who wants to have a fight with me?" All Might gave it a few seconds of thought and replied, "I don't see why not. Just don't give anyone serious injuries."

"No promises," Bakugo responded with some mini explosions going off in his hands. Apparently, he thought that last comment was directed at him.

"I love the spirit Young Bakugo, but I was actually talking to Young Tatsuki when I said that." All Might's words smacked that smug look right off of Bakugo's face, only for it to replaced with fury. All Might looked at me and said, "Go ahead and take your position. We'll have the first battle in that building." He pointed to the one he was talking about. I nodded and jumped, twisting in the air so I could land facing them... on the roof of a six-story building across the street from the one the test would be in.

"How in the world did he do that?! That's a 150-meter jump at least!" I heard Ashido yell, which caused me to smirk as I did some squats to get warmed up.

It was the start of the first battle, and I was just waiting for the action to begin. When I saw Midoriya and Uraraka run into the building I activated what I call my quirk vision (what he used with the girls earlier). *Wow, Midoriya has a massive amount of power inside him, I wonder how he uses it. Bakugo's is focused on his hands, Iida his legs, and Uraraka her fingertips, but Midoriya's looks like it could be used anywhere. Maybe...* My thoughts were entirely interrupted when a massive explosion occurred on the second floor of the building. I looked through a window to see what in the world happened and saw that Bakugo had used one of his gauntlets on Midoriya. I heard All Might say over the loudspeakers, "Young Bakugo if you use that one more time I will end this session! The villain team will lose!" 

As I watched them continue to battle, or I guess I should say Bakugo giving Midoriya a one-sided beating, I noticed that Midoriya's energy was fluctuating all over the place, almost like it's unstable inside him. *What is up with his quirk? Did it just manifest or something? Late quirk manifest are extremely rare but they do happen.* At least until it focused in his arm as he performed an uppercut, blowing a whole through the ceiling straight to the sky allowing Uraraka the opportunity to grab the weapon, but breaking his arm in the process.

"THE HERO TEAM... WINS!"

My eyes were so wide I wouldn't have been surprised if they popped right out of my head, and my jaw was almost going through the floor. *What the heck?!?! How can he generate that much power? It's unreal.* But I noticed that he couldn't control it hence why his arm broke. *How long has he had his quirk? It's like he doesn't know a thing about how to control the output.* I watched as medbots took him to Recovery Girl. *Maybe I could help him with that. Our quirks appear to be similar when I use my energy to increase my physical power.

"So who did the best in todays exercise?" All Might asked the class, to which Yaoyorozu raised her hand.

"Iida did the best sir, because he..." I spaced out while she was explaining why Iida did better than the others even though they lost. *I wonder why Midoriya's energy was going crazy like that. It doesn't make any sense. Also, his power looked familiar for some reason, why can't I put my finger on why?* "Was that correct sir?" Yaoyorozu asked after she finished her, rather lengthy, explanation.

"Eh, y-yes that's correct. Do you have any advice to give Kuro?" he asked me after sweat dropping. "In the way of quirk usage not really, but Uraraka could use some martial arts training, Iida some acting lessons, and Bakugo... some therapy sessions." I heard some of my classmates snicker at that, but what surprised me was that the guy in question didn't have a response for me. "I also have some tips for Midoriya, but I can't really tell him for obvious reasons."

The rest of class continued in a similar matter with All Might asking who did best and then asking me if I had any advice to give, at least until it was time for the after matches that I asked for.

"Young Tatsuki, I asked for Midnight to come and oversee these battles. I, regretfully, have somewhere else to be at the moment so I cannot observe the proceedings." "I understand All Might. Go on and check on Midoriya. I'll visit and heal him if I get the chance." He gave me a real smile and ran off while I went to go see who of my class had the guts to go against someone who could beat most pros.

Hey guys sorry about the unexpected hiatus. I was not planning to have one, but it did allow me to get some things sorted out and now I hope I can write more often. I also decided to have a little end note like some authors do. Mine will be: Stay scaly.
