Unusual Knighting

Start from the beginning
                                    

Iida approved of the choice as well. "Midoriya is Class representative." Looking at the other tallies... there were a few votes for Momo Yaoyorozu, as well. She was quite knowledgable, which made sense for a Class Rep, but with only a small amount in the face of Izuku's 15, it was clear that she is Vice Rep. "Yaoyorozu is Vice Rep. We have chosen our representatives, Sir."

Aizawa stood up, having carefully extracted himself from a... is that a sleeping bag?!

"I've noticed. There is a meeting between all Year 1 Class Representatives after school, so be sure to attend. Other than that, your next class will begin shortly."

The other teachers were actually really nice. Cementoss was stoic, but had some humorous things to say during his literature lesson. Present Mic was much too loud, especially for Jirou. Fortunately, Momo immediately acted, giving her a pair of noise canceling headphones. It didn't block out the noise completely, but enough to make it tolerable. After apologizing at the end of class for that... It was now time for heroics class.








While there was a break in class, Izuku gave his first edict as Class Representative. "While our heroics teacher is on the way here... we should have a meeting about how to deal with... well... our enemy. The best time is during lunch. Is that alright?"

There was a murmur through the class, except for Bakugo, who fumed, stating, "I'm not taking any orders from you, Deku."

Ignoring him, Izuku turned his gaze back to the door, noticing that Jirou had already done so. She must have heard the teacher arriving. While Izuku knew who it was... the rest of the class did not. And they would be quite surprised...

"I AM HERE, ENTERING THE ROOM LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" He was not entering the room like a normal person. He was holding onto the doorframe, leaning inward, head tilted at an awkward angle...

If Izuku was as big a hero fanboy as he was, he'd be fawning over him like the rest. Right now, though? He nearly cringed from the action. It was soon after that entrance when he strode into the room. The hero wore his silver age costume, complete with a cape. His voice boomed.

"TODAY, AND FROM NOW ON, I WILL BE TEACHING HEROICS, AKA HEROING 101! TODAY WE WILL BE GETTING RIGHT INTO THE THICK OF IT, SO THAT WAY YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THINGS ON A MORE PRACTICAL LEVEL BEFORE WE GET INTO HERO LAW NEXT WEEK!" He clicked a button on a remote, and a closet opened up, showing cases full of... "HERO COSTUMES! TO BECOME A HERO, YOU NEED YOUR SPECIALIZED HERO OUTFITS! GET CHANGED AND MEET ME AT FIELD BETA... FOR OUR FIRST PRACTICAL BATTLE TRIAL! I'LL SEE YOU SOON!"

Allmight immediately ran out of the room, quick to get started. Everyone was just as eager, and quickly retrieved the cases assigned by student number. Gripping his, Izuku was satisfied by the weight of it. After all, he had asked for armor. He'd soon look the part Erika believed he could be.

Things were not so smooth for Ochako. She had wanted her costume to be a reference to her favorite hero, Thirteen. It was supposed to be more like a space suit. Puffy, not form fitting... but the costume was distinctly not that. It was skintight, and not at all related to space in any way. Reiko's costume was a sort of kimono, cut at the knees for mobility. Her straight, long hair provided necessary anonymity for hero work. The two of them looked over the rest of the class, eager to see all of the different themes people went for. A lot of traditional heroes, but some were going for other things. Yuga was one, as he went for a shiny 'knight' theme. Bakugo looked like an edgy OC, and Hagakure was... wait, was she naked?

However, before the duo could ask about that, Izuku entered the scene. And everyone noticed. He went for a knight theme as well... but his was far more realistic. With plates of metal on top, and a mix of chainmail and cloth underneath, he was an imposing figure. Even more so with his blade in his grip. It was clear the class representative went for function over form, even if the armor looked incredible. What topped it off was the helm. It was simple, with a large metal plate bent into a form fitting design, the bridge of his nose having a ridge, leading to both eye holes. Due to the way the helm was designed, his eyes remained covered in shadow, hidden from view.

Now that everyone was here... allmight began the lesson. "MY, DOESN'T EVERYONE JUST LOOK THE PART! LOOKING GOOD IS PART OF BEING A HERO, AND YOU ALL LOOK THE PART! NOW, THE SCENARIO IS THIS... ONE GROUP IS ON DEFENSE, WHILE ONE IS ON OFFENSE! IF A GROUP IS CAPTURED WITH THIS SPECIAL CAPTURE TAPE, THEN THEY LOE BY DEFAULT. THE DEFENSE GROUP MUST GUARD A SPECIFIC DEVICE FOR 10 MINUTES. IF THE OFFENSE TEAM TOUCHE IT, THEY WIN. EACH TEAM WILL BE IN DUO, AND CHOSEN AT RANDOM. ANY QUESTION?"

Iida was the first to ask, hand raised, "Sir, why are we doing random teams?"

However, before the hero could answer, Izuku did so for him. "Because, Iida, in the field, we won't be able to choose who is at any given place. We'll have to work with whoever's there. Just like the entrance exam."

"I see! Insightful as ever! Pardon my interruption, sir!"

The hero teacher just laughed it off. "HAHA, NO PROBLEM, YOUNG IIDA, NOW, LET US GET STARTED, SHALL WE?"

After everyone picked lots, the teams were set:

Momo Yaoyorozu & Ochako Uraraka

Minrou Mineta & Mezo Shoji

Izuku Midoriya

Katsuki Bakugo & Tenya Iida

Yuga Aoyama & Mina Ashido

Rikido Sato & Koji Koda

Denki Kaminari & Kyoka Jirou

Fumikage Tokoyami & Tsuyu Asui

Reiko Yanagi & Toru Hagakure

Hanta Sero & Enjiro Kirishima


After seeing this, everyone was surprised that Izuku had somehow gotten by himself. "Sir, is that fair...?"

"UH... Well, it was luck of the draw... um... Young Midoriya, do you want to join a team...?"

The greenette appreciated that he was trying to make things fair... but after yesterday, he needed to prove that he could stand on his own. "It's fine. After yesterday... I need to show what I can do."

"If you say so! That is quite the statement! I can't wait to see you prove it!" To the rest of class. "Now, let's begin! Let's see what teams are first..." He picked out two random letters, and faltered slightly, before putting on a smile. "Team C vs. Team D!"

Bakugo grinned, eager to finally have a reason to fight Izuku, while the green haired boy resolved himself for the battle to come.
