Chapter 61: Battle Training (2)

—

Students submit "Quirk Registry" and bodily specifications before starting school, then a support company affiliated with the school prepares costumes for everyone. That's how normal students got their Hero Costume, however…

Both Momo and Neji's moms being world-class fashion designers, had their Costumes made by the two women. Certainly, it was bound to be a few times better than the other students.

Momo had shown her costume to Neji before, it's the same one she wore in canon. The costume that her mommy made for her… was quite revealing, and according to Miku, she merely wanted to show off her creation, aka Momo's beautiful body, to everyone else.

Momo didn't really mind, truth be told, she was mostly indifferent to it. Though when she showed Neji her costume before, he didn't say anything about the revealing part. But back then they were just friends, but now they are a Couple. Does that mean he would have a different opinion now?

In the midst of it, Momo didn't actually know what Hero Costume Neji had chosen, he said it's a secret, so she was looking forward to it.

These thoughts wandered around in her mind as she walked out of the tunnel-like exit with all the other students, however, she couldn't spot her boyfriend because of the dim light.

Stepping out of the exit with multiple more students by her side as sunlight greeted them, the deep and masculine voice of All Might laughed.

"Shall we begin, my wards?! It's time for Battle Training!"

The students stopped in front of All Might, taking a pose of their own. Some looked happy, some were grinning, some were even nervous - but the fact was, everyone here was excited.

The students observed each other's costumes throwing compliments left and right, as Momo spotted some exceptional costumes.

Katsuki Bakugo wore a tight, black, sleeveless tank top, with an orange "X" across the middle, forming a v-neck. His most sticking out feature was the large grenade-like gauntlets on his forearms. That was a decent enough design, she reckoned, at least surely better than the… 'thing' Todoroki was wearing.

Her eyes also flashed by Izuku Midoriya, her first opponent, as she gave his hero costume a look.

He wore a slick black vest with golden buttons above his white shirt, as a black coat hung from his shoulders, seemingly attached to his shoulder blade for it to not fall off. In his ears, he had two stone earrings, and had a collar-like necklace on his neck.

To Momo, he honestly looked more like a fashion star than a hero, even with the small scars on his body, but eh, she was not in the position to say anything. So she instead continued her search for her boyfriend, but nowhere she looked, she couldn't find his face.

Did he disappear? The thought simply withered away, instead, as her eyes fell on the man clad in white, pure white, except for his thighs.

Momo blinked.

It didn't look like a costume, it looked more like light armour. With silver pieces of metal attached to the chest, creating a chest plate, and silver gauntlet on each forearm along with silver boots, he had a cape floating over his shoulders that had a hoodie attached to it which covered his head. Finally with a mask on that had blue glimmering light coming out of it, just like the blue light coming out of the circle in his chest, the 'Knight' held a heavy spear in his hand.

Momo knew Neji for more than 3 years now, there was no way she wouldn't recognise who the person was under the mask. Only that bastard would bring something so grand.

By now, everyone in the class had their gazes fixed on Neji, on his Hero 'Suit', as the boy in question slowly took off his hoodie, then his mask, revealing the ever so familiar beautiful face.

The silver of his hair went perfectly with the silver of the suit, it was a suit made in heaven for him, the students understood. Even All Might was looking at him.

"Hm?" Neji smiled. "Stop looking at me like that, I am gonna blush."

Bakugo's lips twitched while some of the other students laughed. Momo was about to run to Neji but Ochako Uraraka reached him before her.

"You look amazing!"

Momo frowned slightly but she didn't mind, Ochako was just a friend, they have talked before too since she is just 1 seat behind herself.

Momo approached Neji too and slapped his back as if she was still his best friend.

"So this is what you were hiding." She ran her hands through his chest. "But a lance? Really going on with the Knight theme, huh."

Neji shrugged at this. "This is not just a 'lance', but eh, I guess."

—?—

Okay, I accept I just wanted to look cool, but this is not all about that either. Remember that [Dark Holy Armor]? This thing is made from that, at least the metal parts are.

My Mom has people in her company with useful quirks that help creating costumes as easy as heating water, that's the reason why she is even able to match Momo's mother at all. Basically, they dismantled the armour then changed the colour of the parts to silver, added the cape and mask and also a utility-belt with multiple useful items on it, such as the half-circular and circular blades stuck on it. They also made my Nobunaga spear detachable. When disattached, I rest each one of the sticks on either side of the thighs, like right now.

The coolest thing is, the suit can change in colours. Well, only to black-and-white, but that's cool enough for me. It supposedly was a feature of the actual armour, but one needed to pour mana to change it so I never even knew about it, but luckily, using my dad's technology, it is now possible to change my whole suit into full black, or full white, or even 50-50, which I am using right now.

My Mom and Dad were really curious where exactly I got such an armour, such sturdy metal that can even change colour. I just shrugged and said I got it from a sketchy link on the dark web. They warned me to not buy things from there again, and I just nodded. Such easy excuses.

Why would I were normal hero costumes when I can have this baby? This would not just be a way to show off myself, but would actually protect me and help me in a battle.

I stood beside Momo and Uraraka just when All Might talked again, by now, the students had their eyes off me and were back to normal again.

"Everyone, you all will now be moved on to step two!!"

All Might declared.

"It's indoor anti-personnel battle training."

He continued after the students digested his words. "Villain fights usually happen in streets, or in other words, outdoors, however, statistically speaking, the most heinous villains are more likely to appear indoors…!"

All Might coughed in his mouth, which looked more like an attempt to clear his throat, but I knew what it actually was.

<Toshinori Yagi - High Human - Tier 6>

Japan's strongest is now weaker than ever, he had dropped two tiers already, and I knew he would keep going down. Honestly, if I had… other plans, I would have healed All Might with my health potions, or at least try to see if the potions would be able to cure the wound or not, but… All Might would only be an obstacle for me and my future plans if he was back in peak.

Just then, All Might announced again.

"This time, unlike Aizawa's test, I would put you in teams of two, against another team consisting of 2 people. One villain group and One hero group. The villains would secure a Nuclear Bomb which would blow up in 5 minutes, and the Heroes have to reach the bomb and touch it with their hands under that 5 minute, if not they lose, and the villains win."

This caught everyone's attention. A series of chatter started, the students eyed each other, who will they be teamed up with, or who will they be teamed up against? Some eyed the students they knew were strong, Todoroki, Bakugo, Inasa and myself. They'd be good teammates, but bad as enemies.

All Might breathed in, shouting.

"The first match would be between Momo Yayorozu and Neji Hado vs Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugou!!"

A small silence fell on the area, I could see both Izuku and Katsuki stilling in their spots.

...Oh my, this would be interesting.
