Chapter 015 - Trouble at the USJ Part 1

"Welcome to the Unforeseen Simulation Joint or USJ for short!" announced Anan as she greeted classes 1A and 1B, Midnight, Aizawa and Vlad King in front of the enormous dome shaped building while in her hero costume of a puffed up space suit and her helmet on.

"Oh my gosh, it's Thirteen! I LOVE THIRTEEN!" squealed Ochaco excitedly as she saw her favorite hero. Seeing her reaction made many of her friends and classmates smile and chuckle over it.

"Seems I have a fan," commented Anan with slight amusement and happiness over what she saw.

Ochaco let out a squeak from embarrassment and covered her blushing face within her arms. Her friends laughed a little more while nudging her against her sides with her telling them to stop.

"Alright, settle down you lot," spoke up Aizawa annoyingly and immediately both classes quieted down.

Anan was impressed over Aizawa's control but said nothing. Instead, she decided to continue what she had planned to say. "Anyways, welcome. I have a few things to say before we enter. Maybe five. No six, or seven. Maybe more...Anyways, I built the USJ to help up and coming hero potentials train for various disaster scenarios. Though we have incredible powers and gifts that we use to help, protect and save people, they can also be used for the opposite. You all know about my quirk, Black Hole..."

"Yeah! You use it to suck up debris, rubble and many other things that could be trapping people and allows you to get them out of trouble!" spoke up Ochaco excitedly, unintentionally interrupting her.

"Oh wow, Ochaco, can't believe you interrupted your favorite hero," teased Mina from the side.

Eyes widening and blushing again from her mistake, Ochaco bowed while speaking. "I'm so sorry!"

Many more chuckles and laughter were let out before Vlad told them to quiet down this time. Anan shook her head in amusement. "It's alright. And yes, what you said is true. I do use my quirk to help save people. It's very useful for rescue work especially if there's things in the way as was mentioned," reiterated the rescue hero before continuing on in a more serious tone. "But, my quirk that I use to help people can just as easily be used to hurt and even kill people. I have to be very careful with my quirk to make sure I don't cause that kind of damage. And so do many of you, who probably have very powerful and versatile quirks that can be used to help and protect, but can also be used to hurt and destroy too. And rather easily too."

Her words made both classes reflect on that, with some even looking at their hands. They all knew what they could do so thinking about accidently hurting someone made many of them become suddenly nervous about it. Some of them didn't linger on that so much and focused back onto the pro hero in front of them. And few didn't even reflect on it at all.

"Now that you understand, we'll go ahead and enter. Follow me." Anan turned around and went towards the large entrance gate. Pushing in a set of codes on the keypad, the metal doors swung open inwards. Walking in, she led the students and teachers into the facility. "Take a good look everyone!"

Almost all of the students let out sounds of excitement as they looked around while Thirteen explained the layout. They were at the entrance area that was to the north. It consisted of the large blue gates and the staircase that led into the next area, which was the central plaza. That area had a water fountain in the middle of it along with trees around the perimeter. Several paths from the central plaza connected to the six individual disaster scenario areas located around the enormous facility.

The ruins zone was located in the northeast and consisted of many different buildings in various states of being broken down or disrepair.

The landslide zone was to the east that contained a large open terrain with differently assorted debris all over the place.
