The Immortal Hero: Phoenix

Chapter 15: Resolve of a Rescuer

Shota Aizawa felt a bit of sympathy for his class as they waited for him to finish the afternoon Homeroom. When he was done, they'd be going to the Unforeseen Situations Joint, or USJ to complete the first of their Rescue Trials. Many of them, including Izuka, had been excited the first time around as they wanted to become Rescue Heroes, so training like this was crucial for them. But after the attack by the League of Villains and the death of Izuka, many were more than a little apprehensive about going back there, to see the spot where a classmate was literally tortured and killed. The fact that Izuka was still alive and healthy wasn't enough to shake those feelings from the rest of Class 1-A.

Finally, Homeroom ended and Aizawa began the class. "Okay students, you know what time it is and what we'll be doing. Before we head to the USJ, I have some important things to tell you. First, the security at the USJ and the rest of the school's facilities have been massively upgraded. Special Sensors have been developed by the Support Course that are tuned to DNA signature, specifically the DNA of Shigaraki and Kurogiri. If either appear anywhere on school grounds, the whole place will go into lock-down, the students will be evacuated and every hero in the city will come running."

"Unless the sensors are jammed again..." Kaminari said bitterly. He didn't display it like some of his classmates, but he had also felt guilt over the USJ attack as he hadn't been able to use his quirk to undo the jamming.

"I can assure you, that won't happen." Aizawa said, not unkindly, "Power Loader has completely reworked out alert system. Now, on top of the normal alert system, we have a computerised check system. Every five seconds, every sensor and electrical system sends a signal to the school's central computer. If any are jammed, the signal can't be sent and so the school is still alerted. There are at least nine other fail-safes, but truthfully, that was the only one I understood." their teacher admitted. "In addition, we will have five teachers with us today, including myself."

"Five? Who are they?" Mina asked.

"Myself, All-Might, Thirteen, Power Loader and Ingenium." Aizawa stated.

Iida immediately perked up, "My brother!? He is truly coming to assist!?"

Aizawa nodded, "Yes. We'll be dividing you into five teams of four for the training, so we have one teacher for each team. Iida, Ingenium won't be teaching yours to ensure there is no bias. Likewise, Midoriya, All-Might won't be teaching you for this."

The girl nodded. She was among the only students in class not bothered by going back to the USJ. She hoped she'd get to be in Thirteen's or Ingenium's group as they were great rescue oriented heroes! Aizawa held up a piece of paper, "I'll be assigning your teams now. Team A, you are Aoyama, Kaminari, Sero and Mineta. Team B, you are Ashido, Kirishima, Tokoyami and Yaoyorozu. Team C, you are Asui, Koda, Todoroki and Hagakure. Team D, you are Iida, Sato, Shoji and Bakugou. Team E, you are Uraraka, Ojiro, Jiro and Midoriya."

Team A looked a bit annoyed; they were a motley crew of strong and strange personalities. Team B was fairly happy with their group; Ashido and Kirishima knew each other from Middle School and both Yaoyorozu and Tokoyami were the kind that could work with almost anyone. Team C was... unconventional to say the least; Koda and Todoroki didn't really talk, Toru didn't really STOP talking and Tsuyu just said whatever she wanted. Team D was going to be an explosive group no matter what with Katsuki as a member, but pairing him up with the serious and devoted Iida and Shoji was bound to cause fireworks. Sato looked desperately to Izuka, who just smiled sympathetically and made a prayer motion with her hands. Team E was another of the more happy teams, as Ochako was thrilled to be with one of her best friends, Jiro was happy to have three serious comrades and Ojiro was looking forward to seeing the three girls in action. Izuka was happy regardless of what team she was on, though she was happier that two of her comrades had great rescue quirks.
