One Hero For All People! (#1 Priority)

Chapter 18: Combat Training... huh?

Class 1A sat in their homeroom, the air buzzing with excitement after just finishing their English class with Present Mic. The energy in the room was palpable, and everyone was chatting eagerly about what was coming next. The lesson they had all been waiting for—Heroics 101—was finally here, and the question on everyone’s mind was the same: Who is our Heroics teacher?

Kyoka sat at her desk, twirling one of her earphone jacks in her hand absentmindedly as she glanced over to her boyfriend Izuku's empty seat. He had left halfway through Present Mic’s lesson, something that wasn’t like him. Usually, Izuku would be fully engaged, jotting down notes with intense focus. But today, he had quietly slipped out, leaving Kyoka wondering what was going on.

Kyoka, {thinking to herself, frowning}: "Where did you run off to, hero boy?"

The room was alive with chatter, some students speculating about the upcoming lesson while others debated who their Heroics teacher might be. Katsuki Bakugo leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, while Tenya Iida stood by the front, still discussing the curriculum with Momo Yaoyorozu in his typical enthusiastic manner.

Suddenly, the door to the classroom swung open with a loud bang, cutting through the noise like a knife.

All Might, {booming voice}: "I AM HERE, AS YOUR HEROICS TEACHER!"

All Might strode into the room, fully dressed in his iconic Silver Age costume, the sunlight from the hallway framing him like a living legend. His presence alone seemed to fill the room, causing the excited chatter to instantly transform into gasps and cheers. Several students leaped out of their seats, their eyes wide with excitement.

Ochaco Uraraka, {starstruck}: "No way! All Might?!"

Eijiro Kirishima, {grinning}: "This is gonna be awesome!"

Even Katsuki Bakugo looked intrigued, though his expression was a mix of excitement and impatience. The entire class erupted into chaos, the energy in the room reaching new heights as they processed the fact that the Number One Hero would be teaching them Heroics.

But amidst all the excitement, Aizawa—sitting in the corner of the room—gave All Might a deadly glare, his eyes narrowing as if silently warning him to keep things under control. All Might, catching the glare, cleared his throat and raised his hands to calm the class down.

All Might, {grinning but serious}: "Alright, alright, settle down, everyone! I know you’re all excited, but we have important work to do today."

Slowly, the room quieted down, though the students were still brimming with anticipation.

All Might, {energized}: "Today, we’re going to be doing some good old-fashioned 1v1 combat! But first… you’ll need to suit up."

With a dramatic flourish, All Might pressed a button on the control panel near the front of the room. The walls shifted, and a row of lockers opened behind them, revealing sleek silver briefcases, each marked with their seat numbers. The students exchanged surprised glances before turning back to All Might.

All Might, {pointing to the lockers}: "Inside those briefcases are your hero costumes! Designed based on the requests you submitted. Go ahead and grab them, suit up, and meet me outside at Ground Beta!"

With that, All Might bolted out of the room with a gust of wind, leaving the class staring after him in stunned silence for a moment.

Kyoka, {raising an eyebrow, muttering}: "He sure knows how to make an exit."

As the students stood up to retrieve their costumes, the excitement in the air was nearly tangible. Kyoka grabbed her briefcase, her curiosity about Izuku now mixed with excitement for the upcoming battle training. She wondered if he was already out there, preparing for the lesson, or if something else had come up.
