"For today's hero basic training, it had turned into a class with three instructors. All Might and me, and one more person." Aizawa-sensei announced, his stern gaze scanning the rowdy students. [Name]'s mind buzzed with curiosity about the identity of the third instructor.

Sero raised his hand, seeking clarification. "Excuse me?! What's on the agenda for today?"

Aizawa-sensei responded by holding up a card with bold, black lettering that spelled out 'Rescue.' The word hung in the air, and [Name] felt a surge of excitement.

"Disasters, shipwrecks, and everything in between. It's rescue training," Aizawa-sensei explained, his voice steady and commanding. The class absorbed the information, realizing that this exercise would demand a different set of skills than the intense battle training they had grown accustomed to from the first day of battle training class.

"Rescue..." Kaminari whispered, a mix of awe and a bit of dread in his voice. "Looks like it'll be a lot of work this time, too. Unlike with the battle training. I really don't think my quirk is suited for this." He finished off with an awkward chuckle.

[Name] couldn't help but smile, feeling a surge of determination. The prospect of rescue training presented a new challenge, and [Name] was ready to bring forth their clow cards to aid in the trip. Just to name a few from the top of their head would be Mob from Mob Psycho 100, or Chuuya from Bungou Stray Dogs. At this rate they are vibrating, they could pass through their chair like Flash can do when vibrating through walls.

The classroom buzzed with anticipation as Aizawa-sensei outlined the details of the upcoming training.

Ashido, brimming with excitement, threw her arms in the air

"Right?" she exclaimed, her enthusiasm contagious.

"Idiot," Kirishima chimed in, leaning toward Kaminari, "this is the duty of a hero! I am ready!" His fists collided with a resounding crash, and a confident smile adorned his face.

Amidst the spirited declarations, Asui calmly asserted her own strengths. "No one can beat me in water," she croaked, punctuating her words with her signature 'ribbit.' [Name] couldn't help but find Asui's amphibian-inspired charm super cute.

Aizawa-sensei, appearing tired, interjected. "Hey, I'm not done. You can decide if you want to wear your costume or not this time." He pressed a button, summoning storage units that slid out for further explanation. "Because there are probably costumes that limit your abilities, too. The training will take place off-campus, so we're taking a bus. That is all, start getting ready." With that, Aizawa-sensei exited the classroom, leaving the students to prepare for the trip

[Name] chose to wear their hero costume as they speedwalk to the gender-neutral bathrooms to change into their costume.

-----------------

"Oh, so you're wearing your PE clothes?" [Name] asked, walking up to Midoriya. They felt bad because it had been a while since talking to Midoriya, excluding yesterday as it wasn't a friendly conversation more of a work conversation. However, they did text him a bit last night to see if he was okay after the training battle against Bakugo.

Soon after, Uraraka walked up to them to join in on their conversation.

"Where's your hero costume?" She inquired as she looked at Midoriya wearing the P.E uniform.

Midoriya gave us both a sheepish smile as he tugged on his sleeves. "They got damaged during the battle exercise, so I'm waiting for the support company to fix it."

[Name] nods as they understand Midoriya's reasoning.

Iida signaled [Name] over, waving them to assist in organizing the students for the upcoming bus ride. [Name] offered a polite excuse to those around them with a casual wave, making their way to join Iida.
