"Is this hero school or rehab, because the difference isn't exactly clear."
Pop quiz, how do you clean up one of Japan's most loved and scandalous actors enough to put them in a movie about a hero student?
By sending them undercover at U.A of cour...
Welcome to the pre chapter author's note. Woo. How fun.
This is literally just to show you his hero costume 😅 but humor me, please.

So yeah, this is it! I'm curious to see what you guys were expecting it to be tho.
To explain, it doesn't cover his hands or feet so he can have claws and everything, the shorts are so he can move easily and when he hits a button on the center of the harness it basically sucks all his clothes into it so he can transform easily, and it spits them back out again. A nifty little support item to have you know, just in case Taiya decided he actually did want to use all of his quirk. (ha, no way in hell)
So yeah-this is what we're working with! Happy to provide visual aid.
Taiya's second day at U.A started more or less the same as the first.
Mori dragged him out of bed at some time between 'oh god oh fuck its dark' o'clock and 'dear god let me sleep' thirty.
He was sure their neighbors hated them for the amount of banging on walls and shouting and general noise they created in the morning.
Following that was a debate about Taiya's breakfast and if he had eaten anything or just moved the food around pretended he had.
Following that was Mori shaking Taiya awake when he fell asleep in the car and was nearly late getting into the building. It was a lot.
But he got there on time, so that's all that mattered.
Disgruntled, the teen took his seat and laid his head down on the desk. "You look tired. Did you not sleep well?" Uraraka, who sat next to him, asked.
"No I slept very well. Just not used to waking up this early." He replied honestly. Uraraka nodded to herself.
"Well, you can always nap during lunch.".
Now that was a really good idea. An amazing idea. He could kiss Uraraka right now. On the mouth. For several minutes.
"You're a genius." He said, his eyes sparkling under the dull contacts. "I'm gonna do that like-every single day now.". Uraraka blushed, her eyes locked on his smile.
Honestly Taiya didn't remember not being tired. There were very few times in his life when he felt fully rested, no matter if he got a full night's sleep or not. Should he probably see a doctor? Yes. But he didn't trust anyone who overheard that conversation not to share his medical information if something was wrong.
Maybe he could get a doctor to do a house call? Do people still do that? Whatever.
Taiya never left the classroom to go to lunch, deciding to catch up on sleep instead. And he was still asleep when class started. That is, until All Might announced his presence loudly.
Disoriented, he blinked open his eyes. Fuck.
No matter how specialized they were, he had still just slept in contacts. He needed to get to the bathroom and take them out. Fuck would he
"Congratulations, new hero students!" The number one hero said, his trademark smile on his face. "I'm excited to be teaching such a promising group of youngsters!".
Taiya tried his absolute best to wake himself up fully, but it was so hard. He was so drowsy and the sunlight was so warm and nice.
"You'll all be working in teams, either to defend, or to secure the weapon before it can be used." All Might continued to explain. "The hero team will have capture tape to wrap around any villains they apprehend to signify they have been apprehended. Any questions before I get you all to change? You'll finally be able to see your U.A created hero outfits!".
That got the class excited. Everyone had sent their measurements along with their message saying 'yes I will be attending this year'. Taiya knew his measurements by heart. Production crews, costumers, photographers, everyone needed to know his exact dimensions. It was a pretty normal thing in the industry.
"No questions? Alright perfect, watch this!" All Might gestured to the wall where the panels shifted to reveal numbered suitcases.
"Woah, U.A is in a whole different league." Kirishima commented, the first to get his off the
"Seriously." Sero muttered, already opening his massive suitcase. Taiya dreaded whatever was inside his. He didn't know what the support course students would even come up with for his quirk. It wasn't all that common to have a shifter quirk. Transformation type quirks were the rarest type of quirks out there. Having more than one person with one in his class had been shocking enough.
He grabbed his suitcase and followed his classmates to the changing room.
"Oh, this isn't nearly as bad as I thought." He thought aloud, checking himself out in the mirror. It wasn't the worst, and that surprised him. In a good way, of course, but it was a surprise nonetheless.
"Stop staring at yourself, plain looking fucker." Bakugou muttered under his breath. Of course their lockers were near each other, they just had to be. U.A was nothing but an agitator.
"You want to insult my hero outfit? Who the fuck invited the toaster oven to hero school?" Taiya shot back.
"Bike short looking little-"
"At least I'm not wearing thigh straps. You're kinkier than I thought.".
"Cease this behavior at once you two." Iida ordered, shoving them out of the changing room. Taiya rolled his eyes.
"Ah, I see Tachibana and Bakugou are already acquainted." All Might said with a smile. Taiya resisted the urge to vomit. "That makes this easy then! You two will be the villain team and Uraraka and young Midoriya will be the hero team!".
Taiya's mouth dropped open. A team? No fucking way.
"You can't be-" He muttered under his breath, stopping himself consciously before he said something someone could hear.
It was sometimes hard to remember that boundaries were different now. He had no power over what his teacher's told him to do during class and it was awful.
