Chapter 2; That's a lotta Damage!

"All right, it was decided that today we will take a bit more of a practical approach to the rescue strategy. You will be supervised by a four-man team consisting of me, your homeroom teacher, All-Might and someone else. You will learn to be the hero everyone needs, whether it's a flood or any other disaster. It is entirely up to you whether you want to wear your costume. Some of your costumes probably aren't adapted to the task at hand, after all. The training area is fairly far away, so we'll get there by bus. That's all. Go get prepared." Finished Azumi and Aizawa on his right nodded to the students of 1-A. Then the two teachers walked out of the class to get ready themselves. Well, more like Azumi went to change into his combat boots and Aizawa went to chug another two cups of coffee from the machine in the teacher's lounge.

"You know, you already had like three cups of that stuff this morning, right? Your heart must be jumping from your chest right now." Said Azumi worriedly.

"Hmm." Was the only response he got. Azumi sighed and reached into his bag. Grabbing the steaming cup of coffee he replaced it with a packet of apple juice he pulled out from it.

"Here, that's healthier." Aizawa sent him an unimpressed glare and the other male only smiled as he sipped the stolen coffee. Poor Azumi then cringed at the too bitter taste and Aizawa smirked.

"What? Wish you kept that juice now, do you?" He said with amusement.

"No, I'm just wondering if you ever heard of the concept of milk."

"Well, I'm not really a caramel macchiato kind of guy."

"I noticed." Azumi said and reached into his bag for his blue, lightweight coat. "God damn it Miko." He cursed when he saw the previously spotless, new coat covered in Miko's golden fur.

"Your dog?" Asked Aizawa with a raised eyebrow.

"Cat actually. Probably decided to make a bed out of my bag again."

"Hmm, didn't strike you as a cat person."

"They're more independent so they won't be too depressed when I'm at work. Although Miko is quite the social one." Replied Azumi as he searched for anything that wasn't contaminated by the fur. Finally he pulled out one of his older coats and pulled it over his shoulders. "Fireproof it is, I guess." He sighed and they left for the bus.

The ride was more or less uneventful, except for the few times the teachers had to tell the kids to quiet down. Then the excited murmurs began as U.S.J. appeared in the view. Stepping out of the bus, Azumi could already see Thirteen waiting for them.

"Flood wrecks, landslides, fires... this is a training area created to simulate all kinds of accidents and disasters, and its name is Ultimate Space for Jams!" Thirteen greeted the students enthusiastically.

"Hey, Thirteen, where's All Might? He should be here around this time." Asked Aizawa and looked around.

"From what I've been told, sensei, it looks as though he'd been out hero-ing while commuting up until his time was up. Now he's resting in the nap room."

"That guy is the height of irrational." Aizawa growled and Azumi sweat dropped.

"Hey, it's no problem. We have a back up plan after all." Grinned the white haired teacher. Thirteen started talking to the students about quirk safety and Azumi looked around fondly. U.S.J has been his favorite place to train at for many years.

"Huh?" He heard his co-worker hum as he turned around. Azumi looked as well and his eyes widened.

"HUDDLE TOGETHER AND DON'T MOVE! NO. 13, AQUAMARINE, PROTECT THE STUDENTS! THOSE ARE VILLAINS!" Yelled Aizawa and rushed off towards the villains.
