The next day, (Y/N) spent most of English doing some serious thinking.

Doodling in the corner of her notebook, the girl categorised her list of plants in her head to prepare for the afternoon's training.

Okay, so what do we have so far? Venus flytraps for close-quarters combat. Stickyweed for emergencies- it's fast as hell to grow. Brambles to block off areas. For strength, giant hogweed might work, but I'd have to be careful, don't want to blind anyone by accident..

Her internal monologue went on until the door literally flew open with a bang, along with an announcement of "I'M COMING THROUGH THE DOOR, LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!"

Her eyes widened slightly when freaking All Might  strode through the door and started explaining the afternoon's activities. At the words 'Battle training', she smiled a little, but it was nothing compared to the outright terrifying grin on Bakugou's face.

Of course the bastard would be into this. Guess I'll just have to kick his ass again.

After changing into her hero costume, (Y/N) wandered towards the rest of the class lazily. At the moment it consisted of black shorts and an off-the-shoulder green and pink shirt, with what resembled skate pads strapped to her elbows and knees. She was also wearing a pink belt, with pouches containing water and basic first aid stuff. Finally, a ski-like visor was balanced on top of her head (as it was kind of annoying to wear when she didn't need it.) Hey, it may not have exactly been the flashiest, but it was manouverable and left her plenty of areas to grow her plants from.

Glancing around, she couldn't see any of the three whole people she actually knew, so she just awkwardly wandered up to the crowd and listened to All Might explaining that they would be split into groups, with one having an extra member. In his words, it "EMULATES THE CHALLENGING AND OFTEN UNFAIR CONDITIONS PUT UPON REAL HEROES!"

Pulling out a box of names, he began to assign people to random groups. Apparently, (Y/N) was destined for team G, with the blonde electricity dude and the quiet earphone girl. Not the worst combination ever. I'm glad I didn't get stuck with Bakubastard.. she thought, sharing a sympathetic glance with Iida.

After introducing herself to her team, she learned that the blonde guy was Kaminari and the girl was Jirou. 

"Nice to meet you guys!" (Y/N) gave her usual lazy grin, and both her new team mates smiled back, which she thought was probably a good sign. Probably.

To be honest, she payed little attention to the battles before hers. She'd fallen back into the habit of going over her list of well-known plants time and time again, racking her brains for uses of her quirk.

You wouldn't know by looking at her, with her relaxed and almost fearless attitude, but (Y/N) (L/N) was afraid of losing. 

She did her absolute best to never show it, but letting down everyone- her family, her friends, her team- absolutely terrified her. It didn't help that deciding to become a hero was such a hasty and last minute decision for her; so despite the fact that her classmates were eagerly watching the fights, she took the time to space out a little and revise her battle plans.

She did, however, snap out of it and watch with a furious expression on her face as Bakugou jeapordised his team and badly injured her friend. Every time I see him, I dislike him more. He's insufferable, and I'm looking forward to fighting him some day. Just not today.

The girl resolved to visit Izuku in the infirmary later, just to make sure he was doing alright. After seeing the after effects of his quirk, she was genuinely worried that Recovery girl wouldn't be able to heal him fully.

She also gaped as the disinterested-looking guy, who's name she remembered faintly as Todoroki, managed to freeze the entire building by himself in a matter of seconds.

Sure wouldn't like to get on his bad side.

But all too soon, it was (Y/N)'s team's turn to fight. Kaminari may have looked overly confident, and Jirou was as neutral as ever, but she herself had a stomach full of butterflies.

Time to shine, I guess...

A/N: Another short chapter, sorry :P

Also, just so you guys know, I live in the uk. meaning if article 13 goes through this week, I'll possibly never be able to update again, which fucking sucks.

If this is the last chapter I post, I just want to say I'm sorry and I had a lot of fun writing this, even if it didn't last long. :')
