Life Within a Tarot Deck

Secrets

All Might was a Hero of high stature. No. 1 among Japan's most admirable superheroes where he has a record of saving lives and bringing Villains to justice. His status brings fear to anyone who hears his name and since he arrived from America the serious crime rate dropped significantly, only petty crimes are committed now. Nothing will bring him down.

Except for one.

The Pro Hero was currently looking at video surveillance where Eraserhead was doing his own assessment of his students. Typical of the Underground Hero as last year he did the same and expelled 4 students not worthy of his class, and from what he can see they are a talented few.

He, however, frowned at 3 of the students. Two of them he did not believe they didn't belong in the course because they are Quirkless, believing that they are nothing but stains in this Quirk-heavy world and having them in this course is nothing but a nuisance. They did not deserve to be in U.A., at all. They will be dead the moment they are out in the fields.

All Might snorted then looked at the verdanette with flame-green wing stubs. This was the brat that he met a year ago and cost him the Sludge villain he had apprehended. He thought for sure he was Quirkless as well, especially when the runt asked him if he can still be a Pro Hero. He had to break him hard, telling him that there is no role for a Quirkless to even be in that profession let alone a police officer, and he relished the look of despair that he caused.

Then why the hell is he here, and with a Quirk when at the records he has been labeled as Quirkless for 14 years? It was a powerful one too as he could see the powers and abilities it had, he felt it did not suit him at all, and it only meant one thing in his mind: the boy has stolen this Quirk.

He will get to the bottom of this once and for all and he will break the other two, in his training. The verdanette is his main priority, though, since there was something else he needed to address, the boy held a secret that could break his position as both a Pro Hero and a teacher.

All Might has to show that he is the ruler and no one will take his spot, and no brat will destroy it without consequence.

Meanwhile, back at the training ground, Aizawa was impressed with his students. They went above and beyond his expectations and despite the limitations, some had the vibe of not getting put down, and that made him proud.

Aurora Dragneel was one of them. She has the mutations of her family's Quirk where she had dragon scales along her body but she does not have the Quirk ability itself, it is more of an aesthetic. However, she learned martial arts and from the ball pitch test, she is a heavy hitter. Her speed and endurance were above average as well, nothing is going to block her.

Yuga Aoyama was another Quirkless who has normal human capabilities but he has some flexibility, and from what he saw at the assessment he is skilled with some laser-based weapons. Aizawa has some concerns for him, but the boy has the drive so he will help him as long as Aoyama is willing.

There is one person he has his eyes on and that is Uraraka Ochako, her Quirk is amazing with Gravity and he believes she can go a long way. The only thing that has him on the radar was when during the transparency in the class she showed a brief look of disapproval towards Aurora and Aoyama, indicating that she may be a Quirkist. However, for now, he will just keep an eye.

"Congratulations, you all are worthy of staying in my class. If any of you showed any hesitation you would have been expelled." Aizawa said and saw the class cheer in excitement. He smiled wickedly. "You showed true promise and the drive to go beyond your limitations, don't forget the key to becoming a Pro Hero is going Plus Ultra."

"PLUS ULTRA!!" The class cheered and headed back to the changing room for lunch.

Lunch Rush provided a lot of food for the Heroes-in-Training and Izuku was starving, he used quite a lot of his Quirk during Aizawa's assessment so he needed to replenish his stock, Eevee was ravenous too and she had gotten pasta-heavy foods, and Lunch Rush provided her a slice of cheesecake much to her delight.

He even provided a bowl of fresh greens for Honey and she was content as well. Though she still kept on standby, as she could tell Izuku was starting to get nervous with the crowd-heavy cafeteria. Even Katsuki started to feel his nervousness.

"Izu, you wanna eat somewhere quieter? If I recall, Aizawa gave us the ok to eat in the class or the Teacher's Lounge."

The verdanette nodded, "Y-yeah, it's starting to get a little overwhelming. Lunch is almost over anyway so let's head to the classroom."

Katsuki grunted and grabbed the bowl of veggies and his lunch while his brother grabbed his meal and Honey, walking towards 1-A. Once there they saw the same electric blonde student in his seat eating a sandwich.

"H-hey, Kaminari-kun," Izuku said, sitting next to him. "Was it too much there?"

Kaminari tilted his head up and smiled after swallowing his piece. "Yeah, I was starting to get a migraine, like I said my Quirk detects electromagnetism and with a crowd it was overwhelming, some also had electric-type Quirks so it made things muddled."

Izuku nodded before he remembered Kaminari's blindness. "I can understand that, I got overwhelmed by the crowd too. I-it is something I have trouble with, I never really had good standings with...."

Kaminari looked at him and sensed that he was nervous talking about it. "You said you got your Quirk late?" He heard Izuku say yes and Katsuki growled, indicating that he needs to tread lightly. "My Quirk was late too, however..." He paused, causing the two to look at him curiously. "It was manifested during a survival condition."

Izuku flinched as Kaminari mentioned that and he felt for him. "So, it was a conditional Quirk too?"

"Yeah," Kaminari sighed, now putting his unfinished sandwich down. "Sorry, not sure if I want to mention how it happened yet."

Izuku understood completely. "You don't have to tell us if you don't want to, Kaminari-kun. Mine too was triggered by a survival condition, and I don't really want to mention things just yet. Only a select few that I trust know or have seen what has happened."

Kaminari nodded and the soft-blonde smiled in approval. He trusts this guy, and he knows he won't hurt his brother without reason. Soon after the lunch bell rang and class started to percolate back in. Eevee found the duo and walked toward them with an angry expression.

"Why didn't you tell Eevee you were leaving? Eevee would have gone with you." She growled, causing the duo to sweat.

"S-sorry, Eevee-chan. I started to get overwhelmed and we were planning to tell you but you seemed happy to talk to Aura-chan so we didn't want to distract you."

"Yeah, and you said you wanted to be her friend right?" Katsuki added and that made Eevee deflate a bit.

"Yes, but next time please let me know."

"Sure/Ok."

"All right class settle do-"

Everyone goes to their assigned seats without noise.

"Yosh. Now, the next part will be your first training exercise, another teacher will take you to one of our training facilities and you will be in pairs. You all better be on your best behaviors."

More silence.

"Now, I would like to introduce you to-"

"HAVE NO FEAR, I AM HERE!!"

"Oh, Jesus Fucking Christ." Izuku moaned and Katsuki looked behind him in shock. He rarely curses and when he does it usually means he is getting pissed. From what Izuku told him a few weeks ago, he doesn't blame his brother one bit. He hated All Might with a passion, and with the events, the blonde too came to despise him.

This will not bode well. He thought, and he became more protective over Izuku. He would not let this bastard near his brother, no matter what.

"Of course all of you know who I am, but just for teaching, I am All Might. I will be training you with how to be the best hero there is. Now, your costumes have been pressed and are ready to go." He pressed a button and panels along the walls began to open revealing compartments. "You will need to put them on before we head out to the facility. I expect you to meet me in Training Ground Alpha in 30 minutes."

With that, he left, and the class looked at their costumes. Mineta looked horrified. "Dude I asked for a belt not a fucking diaper."

The class laughed at his predicament.
