Okami and Emika entered the classroom along with the rest of their classmates and took their seats. It wasn't long before an overly boisterous All Might busted through the doorway yelling his signature "I AM HERE!", startling everyone out of their conversations. After a short spiel about 'being a true hero', he instructed them all to change into their hero costumes (again) and meet on Ground Beta for their first Hero Basic Training lesson (combat edition).

Okami stood on the road in front of the gate to Ground Beta with All Might and a few of her classmates, waiting for the rest of them to show up. Her hero costume consisted of a black, fitted t-shirt with a zipper down the front and red-and-gold buckles around the waist, chest and shoulders and black, fitted cargo pants with more buckles, black combat boots and a spiked choker necklace. As she adjusted her flame-shaped belt buckle, she heard a cheery shout, that could only be Emika, call out to her. "Oki! Your costume looks epic!! It's exactly how you designed it!" Emika waved as she ran over to Okami, trailed by Sero, Kirishima and Kaminari.

"Thanks! Yours looks great too, Emi!" She complimented Emika, who was wearing a charcoal, mint and mauve halter neck unitard with a diamond shaped 'boob window', cream and mauve above-the-elbow gloves, charcoal and mauve thigh-high socks, mint and mauve converse and a mauve utility belt. The two of them marvelled at and scrutinised each of their classmates' costumes as they filled the area outside Ground Beta.

Once everyone arrived (after twenty whole minutes and All Might struggling to lecture them on time management and efficiency) the Heroics class began. "Now that you're ready, it's time for combat training!" All Might began only to be cut off by Iida, raising his hand robotically.

"Sir! This is the fake city from our entrance exam, does that mean we'll be conducting fake battles again?"

"Not quite. I'm going to move you two steps ahead!" the buff Pro responded, "Most villain fights on the news take place outside. However, statistically speaking, run-ins with the most dastardly evil-doers take place indoors," he continued.

"Really!?" Emika gaped.

"Think about it. Backroom deals, home invasions, secret underground lairs. Truly intelligent criminals stay hidden in the shadows."

All Might scanned his eyes across the students. "For this exercise, you will be split into teams of good-guys and bad-guys and fight two-on-two indoor battles,"

"Isn't this a little advanced?" Asui questioned (voicing the opinions of almost everyone).

"The best training is what you get on the battlefield!" All Might defended, "but remember, you can't just punch a robot this time. You're dealing with actual people now,"

"Sir, will you be the one deciding who wins?" Yaoyorozu.

"How much can we hurt the other team?" Bakugou.

"Do we need to worry about the losers getting expelled, like earlier?" Uraraka

"Will you be splitting us up based on chance or comparative skill?" Iida

All Might looked physically pained by the amount of questions thrown at him. Okami was tempted to add another just to see if he'd lose his shit, but ultimately held her tongue.

"Listen up!" All Might started, opening a notebook that he pulled from somewhere in his costume (where the fuck did he get that thing?), "the situation is this. The villains have hidden a nuclear missile somewhere in their hideout. The heroes must try to foil their plans. To do that, they must either catch the evil-doers or recover the weapon. Likewise, the villains succeed if they protect their payload or capture the heroes,"

"This sounds like a movie..." Emika whispered to Okami beside her, who snickered.

All might procured a large box from, once again, seemingly nowhere as he continued his explanation. "We'll choose teams by drawing lots!"
