Prime in a New Earth - Book 1 (TFPXMHA)

USJ Pt.1

Optimus was on his fourth day as a student in UA, not even a full week. It had already been pretty eventful too. On the first day instead of doing orientation Mr. Aizawa had decided to test his class, threatening the "loser" with expulsion. The second day Optimus participated in Combat training. Just yesterday there was an incident where a hoard of reporters had made their way on school grounds. This caused a panic. Thankfully Iida, the new class rep, had calmed everyone down before someone was trampled. Optimus was thinking about all of this when Aizawa started to speak.

"For today's hero basic training, it's turned into a class with three instructors, All Might, me, and one more person."

Sero quickly spoke up, "Excuse me! What'll we be doing?"

Aizawa held up a card that said, Rescuse. "Disasters, shipwrecks, and everything in between. It's rescue training."

This seemed to excite the class, Optimus for one was interested in seeing how this would play out. *Is the extra instructor the one we will be "saving"?*

"Hey, I'm not done." Aizawa said, quieting the class, "You can decide if you want to wear your costume or not this time. Because there are probably costumes that limit your ability, too. The training will take place off-campus, so we're taking a bus. That is all. Start getting ready."

Optimus decided it would be best to wear his costume, just so that he can get used to it. Many of the students also decided to wear their costumes. Midoriya wore his gym uniform with some of his hero gear. *Probably because his original costume was destroyed by Bakugo.* Iida quickly got everyone on the bus.

Optimus had never been in a bus before, this one had the chairs lining the walls facing inward. Iida seemed upset that he had assumed that it was a different kind of bus, Optimus hadn't even realized there was more than one kind. Asui, who insists her classmates call her Tsu, decided to start a conversation.

"Hey, Midoriya," She started, "Your Quirk is like All Might's."

Optimus had noticed this too, he had been trying his best to see what the possible relation between Midoriya and All Might was ever since the Combat Training. All he could tell was they were friends, or maybe All Might was privately training Midoriya, Optimus couldn't quite tell.

Midoriya reacted quickly to Tsu's statement, "Y-Y-You really think so? But I'm... uh..."

Kirishima spoke up, "Wait a sec, Tsu, All Might doesn't get hurt when he uses his. They just kind of look the same."

*Does Kirishima know something we don't, or is he just trying to help Midoriya be less jumpy?*

"But it's nice to have a simple augmenting-type Quirk. You can do lots of flashy stuff!" Kirishima continued, "My Hardening's strong against others, but unfortunately it doesn't look like much."

"I think it's really cool!" Midoriya pipped in, seemingly full of confidence again. "It's a Quirk that can definitely pass as a pro's!"

"A pro's, huh?" Kirishima repeated, sounding unsure. "But you have to think about popularity as a hero, too, you know."

Optimus finally spoke up, "Being a hero isn't about how popular you can be. Sure heroes get rankings, and the higher you are the more agencies want you, which can help you get support items or a good team. But being a hero is more about the people you save, knowing that people out there, even if it's a small amount, know that they can count on you to save those in need. That's what being a hero is, saving people no matter the cost."

For what seemed like a long time the bus was quiet, nearly all of the students were looking at Optimus. Speechless.

"Thanks," Kirishima said. Shortly after someone started talking about something not so hero related, Optimus was just glad that they finally had something to do other than be surprised by what he said.

They finally arrived at the site.

"Everyone, I have been waiting for you." Said a hero, who Optimus assumed was the third instructor Aizawa mentioned. One of the students said that their name was Thirteen.

"Let's go inside without delay." Thirteen stated, "Looking forward to working with you!"

"It is a training ground that I made with different types of accidents and disasters." Thirteen explained. "It's called the "Unforeseen Simulation Joint, or U.S.J. for short."

Aizawa then walked up to Thirteen and spoke with them. Optimus noticed All Might was nowhere to be seen. Are they talking about All Might?

"Let's see..." Thirteen began, "Before we begin, let me say one more thing... er... or two, or three... or four... five... six... seven. Everyone, I'm sure you are aware of my Quirk, Black Hole. I can suck up anything and turn it to dust."

"You've been able to use that Quirk to save people from all kinds of disasters, right?" Midoriya asked.

"Yes, but it is a power that can kill easily." Thirteen responded. "Some of you have Quirks like that, right? In a super human society, personal Quirks have been certified and stringently regulated, so that doesn't seem to be a problem at first glance. However, please do not forget there are many Quirks that can easily kill with one wrong step. With Aizawa's physical fitness test, you found out about the possibility of your own hidden powers, and with All Might's person-to-person combat training, I think you experienced the danger of using those powers against others. This class is a fresh start. You shall learn how to use your Quirks to save people's lives. You do not have powers so you can harm others.I hope you leave here with the understanding that you have powers in order to help others. That is all, thank you for listening."

Optimus felt like he was going to enjoy training in the USJ, but that thought quickly left his head. Something was off, he had a bad feeling, but what was it?

The power in the USJ started to malfunction, a purple-ish black portal opened up on the floor of the USJ. A man seemingly made of mist was the one creating it. He outstretched himself and groups of people came walking through... Villains.
