ANXIETY AND EXCITEMENT FLOATED THROUGH THE AIR WHEN THEY ARRIVED. the unforeseen simulation joint, most notably called the USJ, was an incredible building on the outside as ayumi guessed the inside was. if there was one thing UA didn't do, it would be scrimping on the grandiosity.

"everyone, i have been waiting for you," greeted a pro hero in an astronaut suit. it was space hero: thirteen, a specialist in rescues and natural disaster clean-ups for her quirk, black hole. "let's go inside without delay."

"we look forward to working with you!" class 1-A cheered before following thirteen inside the large domed building.

"wow, it looks like the USJ!" kirishima said in awe, referring to the universal studios japan.

thirteen gestured to the areas around them. "a shipwreck, a landslide, a fire, a windstorm, et cetera - it is a training ground i made with different types of accidents and natural disasters. it's called the 'unforeseen simulation joint,' or USJ for short!"

'it really is the USJ...' the entire class 1-A thought in sync, amazed by the wordplay.

"thirteen, where's all might?" aizawa asked her lowly so the rest of the class couldn't hear, looking around the area as if to be wary of him popping out of nowhere. "he was supposed to meet us here." thirteen's reply was inaudible to the rest of the class as well.

(it didn't really matter - they were all too busy looking around the USJ's sectioned areas anyways.)

"let's see... before we begin, let me say one thing... or two, or three... or four... five... six... seven..." thirteen said before trailing off at the counting of her list of things to say.

'it's getting increasingly longer...!' the class thought in their heads, wary.

"everyone, i am sure you're aware of my quirk, black hole. i can suck up anything and turn it to dust," thirteen explained.

"you've been able to use that quirk to save people from all kinds of disasters, right?" midoriya added on energetically, standing next to a very excited uraraka ochaco.

"yes, but it is a power that can kill easily," thirteen said gravely. "some of you also have quirks like that, right? in a superhuman society, personal quirks have been certified and stringently regulated, so that doesn't seem to be a problem at first glance. however, please do not forget that there are many quirks that can kill easily with just one wrong step. with aizawa's physical fitness test, you found out about the possibility of your own hidden powers, and with all might's person-to-person combat training, i think you experienced the danger of using those powers against others."

ayumi cringed a little, thinking about her barely-acceptable performance.

"this class is a fresh start. you shall learn how to use these quirks to save people's lives. you do not have powers so you can harm others," thirteen elaborated further, causing ayumi's eyes to widen. "i hope you leave here with the understanding that you have powers in order to help others. that is all. thank you for listening." she ended out her speech with a bow.

when thirteen finished, ayumi looked down at her hands, which were also covered in faint stretch marks. with all the training she had done here against her classmates and their flashy quirks, ayumi had nearly forgotten why she wanted to become a hero in the first place. she was there to help other people and keep a smile on her face so they wouldn't have to worry. she squeezed her fist tightly.
