Dismissal

"Vague Practices."

Izuku returned to class, he cast a glance behind him to see the dual haired boy sitting down at the same time as him. Midoriya narrowed his eyes, something was off about the ice wielder.

As everyone was settling down, someone burst through the door, making everyone startled. What was wrong with this school? Did everyone insist on scaring each other? Weren't they supposed to be heroes? He sighed and leans back into his chair. All Might was taking their class. Battle training, this ought to be good.

As Izuku disappeared into his own world, All Might rambled on, and, before he knew it, Costumes appeared from the walls, everyone was awestruck as All Might explained the costumes. Izuku frowned, Taisei didn't mention they had to design a costume...
But what he pulled out made his breath hitch in his throat.
The students went to the change rooms to put on their costumes before meeting in one of the fake cities from the entrance exam.

Izuku's costume seemed plain, a large trench coat hung around his body, etched into the collar was T.M, His fathers initials. He wore formal attire with a belt that had many knives laced into it, on his thigh was a slightly larger knife that he could use for hand-to-hand combat. Perfect.

The students gathered around All Might, as he explains the jist of the exercise. Teams would be formed, one duo the heroes, whilst the other duo would be the villains. Luck of the draw.

he gazed at the other students, all their costumes were amateur.
"And for round one, Izuku Midoriya paired with Shotot Todoroki!" Izuku snapped his attention back to the muscular teacher, he was put with Todoroki. Astounding, now he'd have the perfect opportunity to work with this secluded individual.

He and Todoroki were up first, versing Bakugou and Kirishima. Great.
The four students got into place, Shoto and Izuku were made the villains, so they headed in first, going to the upper floors to secure the fake bomb.
Imagine if it were real, I could instantly blow this place and be gone!

He pushed the nagging thought away, it was wishful thinking. Instead, he turned to his teammate, who seemed awfully silent.
"So, Shoto? Was it? How's U.A holding you up?" Midoriya asks, casually letting green flames flicker across his hands, this seemed to make Todoroki nervous, as he glanced at the flames and seemed to flinch.

Odd. He thought, Shoto didn't answer strait away, but he did answer; "it's fine I guess." Was all he spoke out, Izuku was unsatisfied, he was about to ask more questions, but All Might's voice boomed over them.
"BEGIN!"

That's when they made their plan.
"So, I can hold them off while you protect the bomb, your ice can help with building a defence wall around it, be warned though, Bakugou could probably blast through that ice in a matter of seconds, I can take care you him, you can fend off Kirishima, his quirk it powerful but —" what started off as a strategic plan, turned into Izuku muttering to himself, He spaced out as Todoroki nudged his shoulder.

"I get it, you're offence, I'm defence." He slurred with no emotion. Izuku was desperate to work this kid out, but right now he had an old friend to catch up with.
He leapt into action, he left Todoroki standing by the bomb, he shot a glance over his shoulder at the ice boy and narrowed his eyes for what seemed like the one hundredth time that day, before disappearing into the metallic halls.

...

He was right where Izuku wanted him, he should have known he would have sent Kirishima off strait away. Izuku saw the red head run past Bakugou, and right past him, lurking in the shadows. Once Midoriya was satisfied Kirishima was gone, he turned the corner, seeing Bakugou's back turned to Izuku made him smile. The dusted blonde seemed tense, on edge, like he wasn't sure of what he was doing. This made him smile even more.
