Professor Paradox

Chapter 1: Present

...

Wind blew through the trees, through the streets, through the hollows, and throughout alleyways. A chill was instilled in the air, autumn was soon to make its way out and welcome in winter. People roamed the streets, all bundled up in nice layered clothes. It kept them cozy in the cold.
Everyone had somewhere to be, some at work, some at school, some at stores, and some at homes. There wasn't anyone out who didn't have a reason.

It was a calm day in Japan, it was a great feeling never having to worry most of the time about the peace being disturbed. Because of heroes who kept villains in check, the crime rate was pretty low.
But not low enough.

An explosion erupted, bank notes flew in the air as maniacal laughter shattered the peaceful atmosphere. A large van swerved down the street, barely avoiding other cars and humans as villains made their get-away.

It wasn't an uncommon occurrence for a bank to be robbed, but still quite a disturbance to the general public.
Screams of civilians sounded through the air, alerting nearby heroes.
Though, before anyone could act, a familiar hearty laugh could be heard.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! I am here!"
He cheered as he launched himself at the car.
Bullets shot straight at him, but they bounced off his body as if they were mere rubber.
He grabbed ahold of the vehicle and forced it to come to a stop.
In a swift couple of movements, the 5 criminals who robbed the bank were in custody, with no way of escape.
As always, it wasn't unexpected.

"All might saved the day!"

"Way to go! Thank you All might!"

"Another day of criminals apprehended!"

Civilians cheered all around, happy to see their #1 hero.
Chants all around began for the hero who only smiled and waved before flying out and away.
There were more people who needed saving, and he couldn't waste time.

People continued on their way, they still had places to be, but now there was an interesting story they could tell when they arrived.

Heroes all around maintained the justice system.
Because of superhuman quirk arrival, there was an increase of villain incidents.
And to balance out evil there had to be good, and so heroes came in to save the day from the villains. It wasn't always easy, not everyone was physically strong or bullet proof. There were many different heroes with many different quirks that found different ways to help.
Though even despite their training and strength, sometimes the villains were a lot to handle...
Luckily, it wasn't an issue. There was always help after all.

With the rise of quirks and many people wanting to become heroes, schools centered around the teachings of quirks and training of heroes emerged.
UA High and Shiketsu High were perfect examples of high rank hero schools.
Their rivalry was strong, but in the end they were still working towards the same goal.

Keeping Japan safe.

Though, not anyone could be a teacher or professor at these schools.
They had to be well versed in hero education and/or heroes themselves.
And all that, just to deal with highschoolers who didn't understand just what they were getting themselves into...

Especially when they've experienced nothing first hand...

"Hey sero, what's on the school lunch menu today?"
A bright teen asked, he had bright electric hair with a black lighting bolt dashed in it. Had it not been for his quirk, one would think he dyed it that way.

"I don't know Kaminari I was too busy reviewing for Mr. Aizawa's test"
Sero sighed, drooping his head into his tape dispenser shaped arms.

"...there's a test...?"

"Everyone settle down and get into your seats.
As you should all know, today we're having an exam.
The topic - The Basics of Hero Rescue.

Nothing too difficult if you've studied.
But well, if you were lazy or forgetful... "
He trailed off, giving a look of disapproval to the electric teen who found himself suddenly drained of all energy after the mention of the test.

He quietly walked over to his seat and sadly sat down as he awaited his sad fate.

"good morning class.
I hope you all revised and studied well,
It's just the basics but they're still very important.

No cheating, cheating results in an automatic zero.
I will know if you cheat.

Notebooks away, and good luck"
He said, monotonly.
He had no expression, not a smile, nor a frown.
Neutral in his entirety.
The students of class 1-A had yet to get used to it as they were used to more normal teachers of the past.
Though they would get used to it fast, Mr. Aizawa wasn't the only one around who was as monotone and apathetic in his speech.

It was only the first week of school, and they were already going through some difficult trials with the many exams being thrown at them.
It wasn't at all what they were expecting, but they refused to falter.
They worked hard to get into UA, and they weren't about to allow academic laziness to be their downfall.

Most of the students had already gotten familiar with one another, considering they saw each other in every class it was difficult not to.

Many of the students had already formed their little cliques based on who they got along the most with, but the class overall had no problems with one another.

After the test, dreadful for those who didn't study, it was time for another class.
It wasn't an ordinary class, not at all.
It wasn't available anywhere outside of UA, and getting in was only available for the hero class students or students who proved themselves worthy in the general classes.
Other than that, no one in Japan had access to the class.

Outsiders of UA didn't know much about it, only that it had been around since the founding of UA.
It was among the oldest classes there.

It was a class known as Quirk Theory.

Taught none other by

Izuku Midoriya.
