Flames of Hope

Chapter 5

Hello! I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

Waking up, I stretch by arms out, listening to the satisfying noise off my joints popping from their sleep. Slowly, I creep into my bathroom, shuffling with tired feet dragging on the carpet as I open the door. After I finish my shower and brushing my teeth, I remove myself out and back into my bedroom to get ready for the rest of the upcoming day. As I do leave, the mirror reflects my body, showing me tough lean muscles, a 6"2' height and a sharp jaw, no wonder I had so many eyes on me in middle school if I looked like this! (A/N He's a cinnamon roll but damn he's hot)

Not long after, I got dressed in my uniform, packed my things into my yellow bag that is worn down from the decade of use without a replacement. Bags are expensive, what can I say. My shoes aren't in a good condition either, scrounged from clothes recycle bin (Do other countries have them? I know the UK does) and left to U.A. A short walk from my apartment later, I reached the main gates of U.A only to see them blocked with a horde of vultures- I mean reporters, hounding on about how they want an interview with All Might as well as pouncing on any U.A students they could get their grubby claws on.

Batting through the reporters, I feel someone crash into my back, my head turns to look, and I see familiar bob cut brown hair with a slightly scared expression, Iida isn't faring much, crowded by the reporters that ask about All Might. We manage to get through them and into U.A, Aizawa coming out as we come in, telling us,

"Get inside, I'll deal with the media" I swear I hear him mutter, "Damn beast" under his breath as he rushes past us. We head inside to get to our class room whilst chatting idly.

Shouta cursed. All Might working at U.A wasn't supposed to be learnt so soon, he thought about 3 to fives days, not after the first day. How did they find out? He can figure that out later, right now he had to ward off the hoard.

15 minutes into homeroom, Aizawa had yet to arrive, and the silence devolved into chatter about the day and the reporters at the front, I debated with Iida about a new and upcoming hero and their quirk. Aizawa soon came in, looking more dishevelled and sleep deprived than normal, and promptly collapsed into his sleeping bag, letting us talk for the rest of homeroom. Lessons in U.A followed the same as middle school, mandatory Maths, English, History and Science, but in U.A, Hero courses had Hero training last. Sat waiting, I could feel the collective excitement in the room, our last period, Hero Training, but we don't know our teacher yet. Rapid footsteps approached our room until the door burst off it's hinges as a large bulky blonde shouted,

"I AM... COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" Said the number one hero. Shouts of joy resounded in the room, comments like his suit being his silver age costume to him teaching us. Watching the man carefully, I noticed the tense, rigid posture as he moved to the podium, and when he went behind, he began speaking again,

"WELCOME TO BASIC HERO TRAINING! TODAY'S LESSON WILL BE..." He paused, pulling out a card, showing it, "COMBAT TRAINING!" The excitement on my class mates doesn't affect me, I already had combat training as Crimson Blaze; the most excited appeared to be Bakugou, that's no surprise however, he's allowed to beat up anyone without consequences, I hope I go against him, knock him down of his high horse. We get ready to leave, but All Might stops us saying,

"WE CAN'T FORGET OUR COSTUMES CAN WE?!" as he pressed a button revealing 19 briefcases, mine being last. I grab it and leave to the changing room, opening it to reveal my suit. It's something to behold that for sure, a sleek black under suit made of carbon nanotube to go under everything for protection, and its skin tight showing my lean muscles. My boots had an upgrade, being white for one, with green flames designed onto them and reaching up past my knees. I have a white trench coat, with the back reaching down to the back of my calves, with green flames rising from the bottom. My chest had an armour plate on it, said plate is white with a green star on it. My arms had gloves that go past my elbows, they are green with different colour flames on each side. On the right, they're red, on the left they're blue, with wristbands on each acting as buttons. Overall, the costume can withstand the elements: Cold, hot, electricity, and brute force.
