Battle trial ( Part 1 )

( Third person view )

After surviving the first day of school, the rest of class 1A was... underwhelmed when the second day was filled with... normal classes, well as normal it can get with pro heroes as their teachers, but still pretty normal. Until the last class, hero basic training.

Hearing various questions about who is gonna be their teacher for this class, Max and Itsuka shared a knowing glance at each other. Due to Max scoring first place in the entrance exam, he got a heads up on someone special who is going to be teaching at UA. It's...

" I HAVE!! COME THROUGH THE DOOR, LIKE NORMAL! " ... All Might, at the door, in all his glory.

" It's All Might! He's really going to be teaching us! "

" Hey! Is that his Silver age costume? "

" Hero basic training! The class that'll put you through all sorts of special training to mold you into true heroes! "

Posing dramaticly, he then showed them a card with the word BATTLE on it.

" No time to waste, Today's activity is Battle training! ". Before the class could yell out their excitement, he told them:

" And for that, you'll need these. " Out of the wall came number labeled cases making the class more pumped at the new addition of stuff.

" Costumes!! They say the clothes make the man and woman, and today, you're heroes!! "

" YEAH!! ". Came the shouts of agreement from the class.

===================================

( Ground Beta training ground )

After almost everyone was dressed in their custom designed costumes and gushing over how cool each of them looked, All Might began the class by saying:

" Shall we begin, my wards? " only to get a raised hand from Iida. " Yes, young Iida? "

" Sensei, we can not start the class yet because two of our classmates have not arrived. ". Hearing that, he had to check the class again and to find that, indeed, two of them missing.

" Eh?! Can someone tell me where young Kendo and Maxwell is? ". Momo hastily replied:

" Kendo told me that she'll be waiting for Maxwell to finished dressing up. "

" Alright then, we'll wait a bit for-".

" Sorry we're late sensei! ".

Came the apologizing tone from Kendo, who was wearing a turquoise knee-length qipao, over which she has a black double-breasted corset, ending just below her breasts. She also sports black short pants under the qipao. For accessories, she wears a loose brown utility belt around her hips, a satchel attached at the back, a thin black domino mask around her eyes and white-heeled navy blue boots with wide vamps that reach down to her toes; filled in with white slips. ( author: sorry for the info dump but if I was going to describe her hero costume, I might as well go all the way)

While she was looking quite good in her costume, making some of the boys in class blush a bit due to the amount of beautiful girls ( asset) in their class, the one that drew their main attention was Maxwell, who was standing close to her.

His costume has a militaristic style to it. From the outside, it consists of a long black long-sleeved coat with the symbol of a silver shield on it's left breast. On the inside was an open collar uniform that is largely black with gold trimming and two gold lines on the back, a small gold chain going from the right side to the center of the it and it's long sleeves connecting with the white gloves he's wearing. A grey black scarf could be seen on his neck. With long black pants and above ankle boots, he looks like an imposing general instead of a hero.

It earned him some positive reactions.

" Woah! You look... Manly as hell! ". Kirishima shouted with a gleam of admiration in his eyes.

" Looking good there Max! ". A certain invisible girl give a him a thumbs up with her floating gloves.

Momo, Mina and surprisingly Tokoyami nodded in agreement. While Bakugou just scoffed and mutter something about extras.

And Todoroki and Shoji just doesn't care.

" All right everyone, time to get this show on the road. ". All Might reminding everyone that there's a class going on.

" We'll conducting indoor anti-personnel training. You'll be split into Villain teams and Hero teams and face off in two-on-two battles. ". Then came the barrage of questions, making All Might overwhelmed for a bit before reading from the Hollywood movie script he prepared. Max and Itsuka had to hide a snicker from this.

After they were done drawing lots, Max Cam over to Itsuka and asked her:

" ... Who are you teaming with? "

" I got paired up with Momo. You? ". Both her and Momo looked at him expectantly.

" ... I got K. And seeing that everyone is paired up, I'm on my own ". They were confused why he was the only one without a partner before remembering

" That's correct young Maxwell! Due to you being an extra student in the class, the class total number has been changed to 21 students and leaving you with no partner. Do you wish to join a team or do you want be by yourself? ". Max decided to go solo.

" Moving on, the first hero team is... team K. Against villain team... D! "

===================================

In the monitoring room, various of them were curious how the match will go. Max, who placed first in the Quirk assessment test against two people at the same time and they were in the top five as well. Especially Izuku, who was extremely nervous and curious about the match.

' He's going against both K-Katchan and Iida. How is he going to w-win? Both of them have high offensive capabilities and utility. Wait, what is his Quirk? He hasn't used his quirk? But how cou- '. Before he could continue his internal struggle, a suggestion came from his teammate, Uraraka.

" Uhmm Deku? If you're that curious about Max's quirk then you could just ask Kendo. She seems to be close to him ". Apparently, he was muttering his thoughts the entire time, he blushed at his habit acting up and realized that her idea has some merit to it. Walking up to Kendo, he nervously stammered:

" Uh-Uhm K-Kendo, can y-you tel-l us-s about Ma-Max's Quirk? ". She gave them a nod.

" Sure, his quirk is called [ Barrier ]. He can basically create dome-shaped barriers that can block and reflect damage. "

" Wait, barrier? So that means he's the one who stopped Ka-Katchan yesterday. Can you tell me how much can his barrier block? How lar- ". Before he could continue his questioning, she put a hand up to stop him.

" Sorry Izuku. But I can't really tell you, that's not my place. If you want to know more, you need to ask him yourself, ok? ". Slightly sad that he can't know more about his quirk, Izuku decided to stay silent and watched the match. While they were waiting for the match to start, Momo couldn't help but noticed how calm Kendo was.

" Kendo, aren't you worry about Max? Even though he did placed first yesterday, he is going against two people ". Hearing this, Kendo just gave her a mysterious smile.

" Oh, I'm won't worry about him if I were you. He'll win. Though, I can't say the same about the two of them ". Momo raised an eyebrow at the ominous sentence.

" What do you actually mean by that? ".

" Well, he tends to... Take things up a notch. Let's just leave it at that ". Giving her fellow teammate a wry smile, she directed her attention to the starting match.

===================================

" Bakugou! We must work together to defeat the villain and complete the objective! " Iida tried to reason with his teammate, only to receive a mocking look.

" Work together?! I'll just blow that dam bastard to smithereens and win myself! ". He took off without waiting for him, making Iida sighed in exasperation at his fellow classmate's foul attitude and following him. They reached the room where the bomb was without any difficulties ( Iida was wary of this fact) and saw Max standing in the center front of the room and the bomb at the end of the room, looking incredibly bored before noticing them and giving them a lazy smile.

" Hello heroes, welcome to my humble abode. Would you like some tea? ". Before Iida could react to the weird welcoming, Bakugou charged forward with a hand out.

" I'd like for you to DIE!! ". Letting out an explosion directly at his face, a big boom resounded through the room and creating a lot of smoke.

" Hah! How about that you dam ex- ". A hand shot out of the smoke, grabbing him by the face and lifting him off the ground. An amused voice could be heard from the smoke.

" Oh? Why did you do that, Lil Bomber? Were you trying to get rid of the dust on me? I should thank you for that. ". He then proceeded to slam Bakugou into the ground, making it cracked and Bakugou to yell out in pain from the heavy impact. When the smoke cleared, Max could be seen standing in the same spot and completely unscathed, not even his clothes were damaged aside from the wrinkle on it.

" Bakugou! Don't worry, I'm coming to help you! ". Iida started moving towards his fallen comrade, only to be met with a grey wall.

" What? What is this? Is this your doing, dastardly villain? "

" Bingo! Congratulations hero, you get the opportunity to watch me play with your ally."

" You think this wall will stop me from saving him? Think again! ". He then kicked the force field with his quirk. Only to feel an agonizing pain in his abdomen and get knocked back to the ground. Here, Max gave him an apologetic smile.

" Sorry there hero. I would love to play with you but the lobby is full already. How about you sit back and spectate me? ".

Grunting and getting back on his feet, Bakugou gave him the most furious look he could muster.

" You shitty zombie face bastard!! You think you can play with me and look DOWN at me?!! I'll KILL you myself!!! ". Determined and pissed, he charged at him again. He blast forward using his explosions before quickly jumping over his head to get behind him. Aiming another explosion at his back, Bakugou smirked viciously.

' Didn't expect me to that, heh!, cocky bastard! I got you no- '. A roundhouse kick to the face was all he got. It sended him kissing the ground again. Before he could recover, he was picked up by his smiling opponent.

" Were you expecting that would caught me off guard huh Lil Bomber? Too bad Lil Bomber, I'm too good at this game. How about I show you a few tricks? ".

Max punched him hard in the stomach, making him spit out saliva. Then he threw him up in the air and side kicked him into the barrier wall, hitting it hard and falling face first into the ground for a third time this day.

While this was happening, Iida could be seen trying to break the barrier with everything he has but the only result was him getting launched back by the force of his own attacks. After getting launched for the 6th time, he struggled to get up.

" R-release him Vi-villian ". He weakly said.

The only response was a cruel sadistic smile from him.

" Are you enjoying this hero? Yes? Good, cause this is just the beginning. "
