Your POV

The next day came before I knew it. Morning classes were like any typical school, with English and Math and History. Lunch times were in the cafeteria, and the food was actually quite good. A definite upgrade from Junior High. However, the fun class was in the afternoon. Hero basic training. 

The first class we had was with All Might, and I could see the wonder in everybody's eyes as the hero burst through the door in full costume. 

"HELLO! I AM COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A HERO!"

I shook my head. I never knew he was such a dork. 

All Might gave a quick briefing on what the class was, and what they were going to be doing today — which included getting our costumes. 

Four shelves suddenly popped out from the wall, each with our designated number on it. 

"GET YOURSELVES SUITED UP! THEN MEET ME AT TRAINING GROUND BETA!"

"Yes sir!" The class said in unison.

I barely remembered what my costume request was. As I opened my compartment, I prayed I wasn't feeling lazy the day I sketched out my design. But when I pulled out my suit, I wasn't disappointed.

As we entered the area, I could see the figure of All Might standing at the end of the tunnel. We all emerged at the same time, stepping into the light.

"They say the clothes make the pros young ladies and gentlemen! And behold, you are the proof!" All Might proudly said.

I looked around to properly see everyone's costumes. Aoyama looked like some kind of knight, Iida a robot, and Kacchan, a grenade. A whole grenade. It actually suited him though.

I looked down at my own outfit. I requested for it to be waterproof, fireproof, and as durable as possible. The material felt sturdy, but not uncomfortable. It was tight, but only to allow movement.

It consisted of a long sleeve white leotard-like torso, with shoulder armor on one side. Thigh high boots with blue outlines protected my legs, and it was topped off with a red and orange utility belt.

I straightened my gloves as I took in our surroundings. We were in an arena similar to the one of the entrance exam. It looked exactly like a real city.

I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see what I could only imagine to be Deku running out. He had a blue-green tracksuit on, complete with two ear-like things on his head that mimicked All Might's hair.

To me, he sort of just looked like a lost bunny. I guess that's pretty much what he is anyway.

"Cute suit." I said, looking him up and down.

"Whoa!" He said, covering his mouth. "Y-you look so cool! And mine...It's not much, I know." He rubbed the back of his head. "But my mom got it for me. So I'll wear it for her."
