"They say that clothes make the pros, young ladies and gentlemen, and behold, you are the proof!"

We all walk into the training grounds as a group, our collective confidence uplifting everyone's spirits. Our costumes arrived today, and I couldn't be more happy with how mine turned out. I even skipped lunch so I'd look pretty in the skintight top.

On top of that, we've now got a training session with the one and only All Might!! He's so much larger and intimidating in person, but his personality is infectiously cheerful. You can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of motivation when he's talking to you.

As a class, we gather around in front of the number one hero, in some sort of an artificial cityscape.

Everyone looks so cool.

"You look so cool!" All Might affirms my thoughts, "now, shall we get started, ya bunch of newbies?"

I quirk an eyebrow.

We've been split into eleven teams of two, half of us villains, and the other half heroes. I'm on the side of the heroes, paired up with Shoji - a tall, muscular guy with several arms. He looks rather intimidating, but we've discussed our tactics, and he's actually very quiet and polite.

We're up against Kaminari, who can produce electricity but not with great control, and Sero, who can shoot out tape from his elbows.

Our aim is to find the 'nuclear missile' hidden somewhere in a tall building, and either 'disarm it' (touch it), or 'capture the villains' (tie the other team up).

At the moment, the whole class is watching the screen in front of us, where Bakugou and Midoriya beat the everloving shit out of each other.

"Jeez, Bakugou really isn't holding back, huh." Kaminari mutters next to me. I hum in agreement.

"He doesn't seem the type to ever water himself down." I say.

Kaminari chuckles nervously. I sneak a glance at him, and he's completely focused on watching the battle, his mouth slightly open in awe.

Of course it's important to get a good grasp on our teammates fighting styles, but I prefer to do that by just fighting them. Watching people fight has always been so boring to me.

Excusing myself, I head to the bathroom.

Incessant buzzing comes from the overhead fluorescent lights. I have half a mind to break them to just stop the annoying noise, but I'm not about to vandalize school property without permission.

I don't actually need the toilet, so I end up pacing around the corridors of the building, thinking of our plan.

Shoji wanted to play it safe, locating the missile and capturing it together. He said it's the most logical and safe way to win, but for me it's not the option I would've first gone with.

After talking it through with him, I've managed to convince him to both capture our enemies and disable the missile. This way, we'd have an undeniable win, and hopefully earn our teachers respect.

First of all, Shoji will discern the floor that Kaminari and Sero are on with his quirk, turning the advantage back to our favor.

The next part of my plan was based around an assumption, and it banked on that to work.
