The next day, Class 1-A returned to their classroom, brimming with excitement. All Might had announced that they'd be starting Hero Basic Training, and the anticipation in the air was almost tangible.

All Might entered, his signature grin in place, as he struck a pose. "Today, you'll be taking one of your first real steps toward becoming heroes! And for that..." He held up a small remote, clicking it with a flourish. "You need these!"

With a click, the left wall of the classroom sprang to life, the paneling sliding away to reveal a row of glass compartments. Five compartments at a time, each filled with a student's unique hero costume, emerged from the wall. Suzuha's eyes widened as she scanned the compartments, noting that each costume was personalized to the seat placement of its owner.

"In accordance with the Quirk Registry and your special request forms, we've created costumes tailored to your needs!" All Might announced proudly. "Each one is designed to enhance and support your Quirks in action."

Excited murmurs rippled through the class, and Suzuha felt her heart racing as she approached her compartment. She recognized the design immediately, folded neatly inside, just as she'd sketched it. The thrill of seeing her own costume took hold as she carefully reached for it, fingertips brushing over the fabric. As she lifted it from the compartment, a small piece of paper fluttered out.

She caught the note and opened it, reading the familiar handwriting. A small smile tugged at her lips as she read her parents' cheerful words:

Suzuha, your costume design has grown so much more professional! - Father

We're proud of you - stay safe, and know we're cheering you on! - Mother

*They made it themselves,* she realized with a pang of warmth. Glancing at the fabric, Suzuha's expert eye recognized the custom blend her parents' company was known for—a material that balanced durability with flexibility, ideal for combat situations while allowing precise movement.

All Might's voice brought her back to the moment. "All right, heroes-in-training! Change into your costumes and head to Ground Beta in ranking order!"

**Suzuha's Hero Costume**

In the changing room, Suzuha took a moment to unfold her costume and inspect it in detail.

Her design was sleek and practical, reflecting her own calm demeanor. The monochrome palette, primarily black with accents of dark blue and touches of white, gave it a professional and composed look. She noted the material, a specialized, lightweight blend her family's company had developed. It offered her the perfect balance between protection and flexibility, with reinforced sections around the joints to support her movements during combat.

As she put on the suit, she admired how the cuffs and fingerless gloves were tailored precisely for her Manipulative Mastery Quirk, allowing seamless hand movement and control over her manipulable items. The gloves had just the right amount of grip and flexibility, ensuring she could handle objects with precision.

She smiled, feeling the thoughtful craftsmanship her parents had woven into each detail. *They knew exactly what I needed,* she thought, flexing her hands to test the fabric's range of motion.

Her suit was equipped with magnetic snaps on her pockets, allowing her to access items like pens and manipulable tools with ease, and each pocket was positioned in reach of her hands. Her belt held a compact medical kit, self-adhesive patches for minor repairs, and a communication device for staying connected with her classmates. These were all simple, functional touches, but each served a purpose. Even the retractable pen she carried was designed to double as an emergency tool, crafted to her exact specifications.

Suzuha slipped her hands into the gloves, feeling a surge of readiness as she examined herself in the mirror. *This costume is exactly what I need,* she thought. *It's professional, efficient, and represents my family's work.*

**Joining Class 1-A at Ground Beta**

Stepping out of the changing room, Suzuha joined her classmates as they gathered at Ground Beta. The urban-style training area, which was set up similarly to their entrance exam site, stretched out before them, familiar yet challenging.

As her classmates filed in around her, each in their own costume, she felt a sense of camaraderie. Izuku Midoriya was nervously adjusting his suit, while Katsuki Bakugo looked ready to explode into action. Suzuha could see the individuality in each costume, a reflection of everyone's unique Quirks and personalities. For Suzuha, her costume represented not only her Quirk but also her family's legacy - a blend of precision, functionality and understated style.

She took her place among the class, adjusting her gloves one last time. The excitement of wearing her costume for the first time, combined with the sight of her peers in their own, filled her with a sense of unity and pride. This wasn't just about the costume; it was about taking on the responsibilities that came with wearing it.

*This is the start of something real,* she thought, her gaze steady as she looked out at Ground Beta. *We're all here for a reason, and we're ready.*
