The four pulsory csses—Japanese, Mathematics, Sce, and English, were pleted uhe guidance of the respective teachers toss, E, Power Loader, and Present Mic.

  Sioday was Monday, these core subjects were fixed, and additional csses, such as Midnight's Modern Hero Art History or Aizawa's Hero Information Sd Modern Hero Law, would be held on other days throughout the week.

  By now, the time was 12:43 p.m.

  As expected, Aoyama stayed behind in the to enjoy his meticulously prepared French lunch alone. Meanwhile, most of Css 1-A gathered in the cafeteria hall, enjoying a lively lunch together.

  During this time, Kaminari overheard several versations, realizing that not everyone had received proper Hero training during their internships.

  For many, the experience boiled down to simply Hero activities, very basic, often muasks. Essentially, most students were little more thaors.

  This realization helped Kaminari uand Tokoyami's frustration earlier. It wasn't unusual that Tokoyami had learned so little, it was a reasoe giveure of internships for most students.

  "I guess if I hadn't joined as his disciple, my internship experience would've been just as monotonous—patrolling forests, resg people, and maybe dealing with corpses," Kaminari thought to himself.

  He recalled how some of the seniors who had followed his master during their internships had ended up with simirly repetitive and uninspiring tasks.

  His eyes then nded on Midoriya, whose eyelids were still faintly bruised and swollen from his training.

  "Judging by what he said earlier this m, it seems like he went through the same kind of training I did. His temperament feels sharper now, and his eyes hold a new kind of determination."

  This realizatio Kaminari intrigued. He was suddenly eager for the Hero Basics css, it would be the perfect opportunity to see how much Midoriya had grown.

  Though Kaminari couldn't quite expin why he found Midoriya so fasating, something about him stood out. Maybe it was because of the terrifying strength he had witnessed from Midoriya before, those punches were unfettable.

  By 1:20 p.m., Kaminari and the rest of Css 1-A were led by All Might to the training grounds behind U.A. High once again.

  This area was divided into two ses: the simuted city distrid the training grounds.

  Today, they were gathered at the gates of Training Ground Gamma.

  As the css prepared, Kaminari donned his previous bat uniform once more. Despite its ordinary design, it gave him an oddly f sense of returning to his roots, a sharp trast to the golden aura he had bee aced to.

  "Wow!!"

  "Tetsutetsu! What are you wearing?!"

  "Man, when did you get su awesome bat suit?! And wow, it looks so cool!"

  While Kaminari quietly adjusted his robe, the others couldn't help but gawk at Tetsutetsu, who had made an attention-grabbirance.

  Dressed in a white suit paired with bck iron boots, he also wore a striking "Justice" coat draped over his shoulders. The word Justice was boldly embzoned on the back, and as the wind swept through, the coat billowed dramatically.

  "Hahaha! Awesome, right? Totally awesome, isn't it?"

  Tetsutetsu puffed out his chest and grinned smugly, striking various poses as if he were on a runway.

  "This suit is Kaminari's design! It's called 'Justice.' From now on, I'll be the oo carry the mantle of justice!"

  "Ugh, you idiot," Bakugo muttered, rolling his eyes in disdain.

  Meanwhile, Kirishima, standing nearby, gnced down at his own bat uniform and scratched his head awkwardly.

  "I… maybe I should sider getting a new suit, too."

  Indeed, Kirishima's suit was retively pin pared to Tetsutetsu's fshy new look, and the thought clearly made him a little self-scious.

  "'Carrying justice'—I like the sound of that. Great name, and the suit looks fantastic, too!"

  All Might gave Tetsutetsu a thumbs-up, his grin wide as ever, before moving on to the main topic.

  "Alright, css, let's get started with today's Hero Basics session. Everyone, quiet down."

  The students immediately fell silent, their attention fixed on All Might. Their discipline and focus clearly pleased him.

  "Since you've just returned from your workpce experieoday we'll duct a rescue training petition!"

  "Rescue training? Shouldn't that take pce at USJ?"

  Iida immediately raised his hand, his voice serious as ever. His tone reflected his typical strict adhereo order and protocol.

  "That facility is reserved for training in risk ma and disaster relief," All Might expined calmly. Then, with his trademark smile, he tinued, "What I'm talking about is a petition!"

  He gestured to the vast industrial zone behind him, deh maze-like structures, and said, "This is Training Ground Gamma!"

  "In this intricate, factory-like area, you'll be divided into groups of five and pete against one ao see who rescue me first!"

  The students murmured among themselves, intrigued by the challenge.

  All Might then pointed directly at Bakugo, adding pointedly, "Of course, colteral damage to the buildings must be kept to an absolute minimum!"

  "Tch. Stop pointing at me," Bakugo grumbled, turning his head away in irritation. His rea drew quiet chuckles from Ashido, Hagakure, and Kirishima.

  , All Might annouhe teams:

  Group 1: Midoriya Izuku, Sero Hanta, Ashido Mina, Iida Tenya, Ojiro Mashiraroup 2: Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, Kirishima Eijiro, Mia Minoru, Shoji Mezo, Koda Koji.

  Group 3: Kaminari Denki, Todoroki Shoto, Aoyama Yuga, Tokoyami Fumikage, Bakugo Katsuki.

  Group 4: Jiro Kyoka, Yaoyorozu Momo, Hagakure Toru, Uraraka Ochaco, Asui Tsuyu.

  "Alright, Group 1, get into position!" All Might instructed. "Everyone else, head to the observation deck."

  As he finished speaking, the massive steel doors of the training area creaked open.

  Then, in the blink of an eye, All Might vanished. He left no trao afterimage, no sound just ay space where he'd stood seds before.

  "Damn, his speed is terrifying…"

  Kaminari gazed up at the clear blue sky, lost in thought. "How high is the ceiling of this world? Is All Might the pinnacle, or are there others out there just as strong or even stronger outside of Japan?"

  Unbeknownst to Kaminari, the All Might they knew was a shadow of his former self. Yet, even in this dimiate, he remained Japan's number one Hero.

  There's a saying that perfectly fits this sario: "I've grown weaker, but that doesn't mean you've grown stronger."

  This se reflected the current state of Japan's Hero society. Since All Might's rise decades ago, Heroes had fallen into two categories: All Might and everyone else.
