"Iida!" Tenya Iida heard you call from down the hall as you ran towards him, "(y/l/n)! There is a strict rule about running in the hallways, along with you should always use your indoor voice when inside a building." Iida began to reprimand you. "Yeah yeah, anyways! Apparently Mr.Aizawa and All Might are going to be taking us to another training zone where we'll get to practice our quirks against each other!" You said as you grabbed him by the arm and began tugging him towards the classroom, even though lunch hadn't ended yet.
"H-Hey no need to pull me, I am very capable of walking on my own." Iida said, his head turned away from you to hide the light blush that was dusted across his cheeks. "Hmm? Oh! Sorry..." You mumbled and quickly let go of him.
Once the bell for class had rang and everyone had taken their seats, Aizawa cleared his throat and addressed the class, letting them all know to quickly get into their hero costumes and meet him at the entrance to the school where they would then go to a new training zone for some practice. You changed quickly, Bouncing on the heels of your feet you waited for Iida to finish changing before once again grabbing him by the arm and hurriedly making your way to the schools entrance.
Iida and you had met back when you guys were in public school, and had been friends all the way up to high school and you thought it was the best moment of your life when you found out that both you and him had been accepted into U.A., afterall it was his dream to become a pro hero just like his older brother. And it was your dream to help everyone you could.
Somewhere along the line of friendship you'd both began to develop feelings for the other, although neither of you wanted to run the risk of letting the other know and possibly ruining the friendship you had. You were worried he wouldn't think of you the same way if you told him and he didn't return your feelings, he was worried that if he told you, you wouldn't want to spend time with him anymore. So you both kept your feelings hidden and instead gave in to just being friends.
"Alright we're going to announce who you'll be up against for this round, there will be a series of fights between each student, you won't be able to fight everyone today but you'll get to fight a few. This will give you each a different view on how to react to certain quirks and situations." Aizawa said looking bored, already beginning to zip up his sleeping bag, intending to nap while All Might took care of everything.
"You are all great fighters, but you also have much to learn, don't be upset if you don't win every match, instead learn from them and make sure to win next time." All Might said, his signature smile never leaving his face. "First up we have Ochako Uraraka vs Eijiro Kirishima! You'll each start on opposite ends of the arena and when the horn blows you have to either immobilize your opponent or knock them out. That doesn't mean you can severely injure each other. I will step in if things get too rough." All Might said, and with that it began.
The fight between the two of them lasted a long time, Uraraka was doing everything she could to try and get the upper hand, but everytime it looked like she was winning, Kirishima just hardened his skin and it was like everything bounced right off of him. "Come on Uraraka! You can do it!" You shouted as you watched the two of them lock in hand to hand combat from the television screens in the room everyone who wasn't fighting was in.
You watched as Uraraka suddenly began running away, "Where are you going?!" You questioned, staring at the screen in anticipation, "Release!" She said and all of the rubble that she had been collecting whenever he was distracted fell from the sky and crushed Kirishima. He was okay due to using his quirk, but he was unable to dig his way out because of all he weight. "Uraraka wins! Kirishima is unable to move. Congratulations!" All Might said, unburrying Kirishima.
