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

The lunch buzzer rang through the halls of UA High School, signaling the end of the break and the start of hero class. Shiro, Uraraka, Midoriya, and Iida walked together, weaving through the bustling crowd of students.

"I wonder what today's lesson will be about," Uraraka mused aloud, stretching her arms above her head.

"Whatever it is," Iida replied, adjusting his glasses with a sharp motion, "I'm certain it will contribute to making us outstanding heroes!"

Uraraka and Midoriya chuckled at Iida's enthusiasm, while Shiro remained silent, his expression thoughtful.

'Battle training… Finally, a chance to test out my adaptation power in a real scenario,' Shiro thought, his gaze fixed on the floor as they walked. 'Explaining my quirk afterward will be a hassle, but the experiment is worth it.'

Turning a corner, they arrived at their classroom, the sound of chattering students echoing behind them. Sliding the door open, the group entered and dispersed to their seats.

Shiro walked to his assigned spot in the fourth row, second column, offering him a clear view of both the front of the room and the windows. Sitting down, he placed his hands on the desk and leaned back slightly.

To his left, Mineta sat slouched in his seat, a bored expression plastered on his face. He turned his head lazily toward Shiro and muttered, "Hope this class doesn't involve running. My legs are still sore from yesterday…"

Shiro scratched his head, replying, "I mean… I don't know what you expected from the Hero Course at UA. It wasn't exactly promised to be a relaxation session."

Mineta rolled his eyes, brushing off the comment. "Of course you'd say that. You've got an ultimate transformation that turns you into a beast, so you don't even have to use your own body."

Shiro sighed, turning his attention to the front of the classroom. 'He's not wrong… but still.'

The door suddenly burst open with a thunderous slam, snapping everyone's attention forward. "I HAVE COME THROUGH THE DOOR, LIKE NORMAL!" boomed All Might, striking a dramatic pose as his Silver Age costume gleamed in the light.

The classroom erupted in gasps and murmurs of awe.

"Whoa, All Might?" Kirishima exclaimed, jumping to his feet. "Isn't that his Silver Age costume?!"

Beside Shiro, Mineta perked up slightly at the sight of the Number One Hero but quickly slouched again. "I wish it was Midnight…" he muttered, disappointment dripping from his voice.

Shiro shook his head lightly at the comment but kept his focus on All Might. 'Finally, we're getting started.'

All Might's booming laughter echoed through the room as he stepped to the front. "Class 1-A! Today's lesson will be one you'll remember for the rest of your lives!" he declared, raising a finger dramatically.

"Battle training!"

The classroom buzzed with excitement as murmurs and whispers filled the air.

"Yes, yes, that's right!" All Might continued, holding up a small control device. "You'll be testing your abilities in a simulated hero-versus-villain scenario! And to do that…" He pressed a button, and compartments in the classroom walls opened to reveal neatly packed hero costumes.

"Your hero costumes have been tailored based on the designs you submitted with your applications!" All Might announced with pride.

A thoughtful expression crossed Shiro's face. 'Oh… Our hero costumes. I'd forgotten about that.'

"Take your costumes and get changed! Once you're ready, head to Ground Beta!" All Might instructed before exiting the classroom.

The students erupted into motion, scrambling to grab their costumes from the compartments. Shiro waited patiently, watching the chaos unfold.

When the crowd thinned, he walked over and grabbed the briefcase labeled with the number 14. Opening it slightly, he confirmed the contents. 'This should be mine,' he thought, satisfied.

"You waited for the chaos to end too, huh?" a voice asked. Looking up, Shiro saw Jirou standing nearby.

Shrugging, Shiro replied, "My suit isn't anything special, so I'm not in a hurry to wear it."

Jirou raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Your suit isn't special? I thought you were just being mature by waiting."

Shaking his head, Shiro said, "No, I'm just not excited or anything."

Jirou's curiosity peaked. "Well, now I'm curious. What is it?"

Flicking open the briefcase, Shiro revealed its contents.

Jirou's hand flew to her mouth as she stifled a laugh. "Pfft…!"

Shiro frowned slightly, clearly annoyed. "Y'know, it's pretty rude to laugh at someone's costume."

Walking over, Jirou peered into the briefcase, lifting the outfit to inspect it further. Upon realizing there wasn't anything else inside, she broke out into laughter. "Shiro, right? You're hilarious! What're you trying to be, a security guard? What's with the all-black suit and tie?!"

Closing the briefcase with a soft click, Shiro retorted, "Judging from your style, you probably have a leather jacket in there. One out of ten for creativity."

Jirou's expression grew serious. "Hey, leather jackets are trendy, you know."

Grabbing his briefcase, Shiro shrugged and walked away. "Whatever you say."

Being the last to enter the changing room, Shiro naturally ended up as the last one to exit. Standing in the hallway, he adjusted his black suit and tie. Beneath the sharp look was special material designed to stretch and endure his transformations.

'There's nothing more comforting than an all-black suit,' Shiro thought, satisfied with his choice.

As he prepared to head to Ground Beta, Jirou stepped out of the girls' changing room, spotting him immediately. "Keeping the school safe, are we?" she teased, her voice dripping with mockery.

"Don't you have a concert to go to?" Shiro quipped, walking ahead.

Jirou followed with a grin. "Yeah, mind protecting me while I'm performing?"

The playful exchange continued until they arrived at Ground Beta, rejoining the group.

"Shiro! You're finally here!" Uraraka called out, jogging over.

Shiro nodded, his eyes scanning her costume. "It looks better in person," he said without thinking.

Uraraka froze, her face quickly turning red. "U-Uh… Th-thanks…" she whispered, clearly flustered.

Midoriya, who had been watching the interaction, looked down, his shoulders slumping slightly. 'He said they've known each other since elementary school…'

Using his Metavision, Shiro caught Midoriya's reaction. 'That wasn't my intention... Really,' he thought, slightly irritated with himself.

All Might clapped his hands, commanding everyone's attention. "Now then! Let me explain the rules of today's exercise!"

The students leaned in eagerly.

"How will we be divided into teams?!" Iida asked.

"Can I blast everyone away?" Bakugo interjected.

"Will you threaten to expel us like Aizawa did?" Uraraka added.

"One at a time, please!" All Might replied, exasperated. "My quirk isn't super hearing!"

He began answering questions one by one. When it came to Iida's, he explained they'd be divided by drawing lots, holding up a box with numbered balls.

One by one, students reached into the box to draw their team assignments. Shiro pulled out his lot and glanced at it. 'Looks like I'm paired with Ojiro,' he thought, noting Ojiro's matching number.

All Might then drew lots to determine the matchups. "Villain team: Bakugo and Iida. Hero team: Midoriya and Uraraka!"

Midoriya visibly stiffened, while Bakugo cracked his knuckles with a menacing grin.

The second matchup was announced: "Villain team: Shiro and Ojiro. Hero team: Todoroki and Shoji!"

Shiro frowned slightly, chewing his nails. 'That's a tough match. If Todoroki catches me in his ice, it's game over. And I can't rely on my titan form here…' he thought, formulating a plan.
