Chapter Text
The night before (prep time)
Everyone was sitting in the common room, all equally excited for the events coming the next day. Nezu had told them it would be some sort of battle simulation and that it would 'test their survival skills' whatever that meant, Nezu also said that four of the teachers would be joining them aswell! Which was both absolutely terrifying and extremely exciting at the same time. So there's full truth in saying that all of class 1-A are anxiously waiting for the rodent to come in and explain what was going to happen.
That's when they heard the voice of the principal from outside the front door and the entire room went silent.
"Good morning class 1-A" Nezus chipper voice cut through the silence like glass and all the students sat at attention. "As I'm sure you all know im here to explain what you will be doing tomorrow and how you should prepare for it tonight"
The rodent slipped off his small, red shoes at the doorway and stepped inside. Walking towards the common room and taking his place infront of the TV right in the centre of all the students.
"Tomorrow you will be doing a survival simulation" Nezus voice dipped at that last word though only a few of the students noticed the emphasis and the sly grin following after it, those few felt a shiver of dread run down their spines, but Nezu was their teacher, his job was to protect them. To keep them safe.
Right?
Even if they were heros in training they never got extremely injured during class training (that's excluding Midoriya ofcourse)
"Ok class 1-A! Im not going to spoil the exercise but I will tell you that you will not be allowed to bring any personal objects with you. That means no phones" A collective groan went out between the students, though one knowing look from Nezu got them to shut up "nor any electronic devices. Or anything that would let you get in contact with people outside and inside of the simulation. That includes you Kaminari no matter what your quirk is." Said student crumpled under the principles gaze. Successfully stopping him from smuggling stuff in before he even tries.
"You should also know that this will take an undetermined amout of days"and there was yet another groan from the class "but! I will not leave you so in the dark" all the students who had previously slumped in their chairs sat up in excitement to listen better "the teachers that will be accompanying you in during this exercise are picked at random and as of yet have still not been picked. So I will now be doing the selection"
Out of nowhere a box that looked almost identical to the box All Might used for their first battle triles (they didn't go so well) and nezu quickly stuck his paw in and as soon as it was in it was out "the first teacher going with you is..... Midnight!" A few of the female student brightened at this. They don't often get to have a older female around who they can confide in so it's nice (everyone ignored the visible enhance in Mineta's mood as that was said. They also ignored the muttering of how he was 'hoping to see her out of costume')
"The next teacher going with you will be" taking the paper out of the box and quickly reading it "All Might!" Most of the students fidget at this, the man was...awfully self-centered. They had noticed this a few months into the school year, along with his weird obsession with Midoriya. How, whenever they were doing training All Might always paid extra close attention to the boy. How he always grabbed Midoriya away from the group for a 'private conversation'. It worried some of the class but whenever they asked the green haired boy he just brushed it off looking rather nervous, and a little scared?
"The third teacher going with you will be" Nezu broke them out of their thoughts "Present Mic!" Nearly the entire class let out a Woop of joy at that.
This time no one noticed the glint in the rodents eye. This one wasn't as mischievous though, not with the caring look in his eye that he had always had when looking at his students. No. This one had the dark light of revenge, the look of someone who had been hurt at the hands of humans too many times to ever forgive, but no one saw that. So its ok.
Right?
"And the last teacher going will be" for a final time Nezu put his paw in the box, retrieving a small piece of paper out. Nezus eyes shone with recognition like he already knew what was on it. "Aizawa!" A scream of joy burst out of the class, not a single student looked disappointed with this pick. Aizawa was their favourite teacher by far, he risked his life for them at the USJ and processed to do it again, and again.
He joined the class for movie nights on Fridays aswell. No one had said it to the man but most see him as a parental figure, filling in for their own parents who couldn't be with them while in the dorms. Some of the class had even taken to calling him Dadzawa while he wasn't listening, because no. They will not call him that to his face. They would rather die than call him that to his face.
Whenever Aizawa was there they were safe.
Right?

Soon Nezu left, every single one of the members of class 1-A were still as confused (though slightly more scared) as they were before the rat had come.
"So its a survival trile? Kaminari was the one to break the silence.
"Sounds like it, but what are the teachers doing. Now we know who the teachers are so that absolutely shits on the whole 'element of suprise' so why tell us?" That time it was Kirishima, though no one could answer either of the boy's questions.
"Will they be part of this like helping us? How can we be sure they'll be against us? I mean, yeh, I know they like, alway are but that dosent mean they always will be" Mina was right in that regard but they still had absolutely no way to back her point up.
The entire class was getting figigity. Nervous for what was going to happen the next day. Some of the students started leaving to social area. Planning to get some extra sleep to be ready for the hard day/week coming, seeing as they still had no idea how long they would be gone for.
"Whatever it is i hope Nezu isnt fully incharge because if he is we're all fuckin dead" with a barking laugh Sero left the room to go sleep.
Because it was a joke.
Because they were safe.
They are safe.
Right.
...
Right?

When only about half the class was left in the common area someone entered the dorms, and if if about ten of the students there spun around with an image of a short white rat with bright red shoes and answers. No one will mention it.Though none were upset at who stood in the passageway, actually they were thankful.
"What's got you kids all riled up?" The man hid a small grin behind his gray scarf raising an eyebrow slightly in question.
"Sensei!" A chorus of quiet but happy teens wiper yelled. Though one voice could be heard easily over the rest of them.
"Aizawa-sensei! We would greatly appreciate if you could bring us up to date on any information that you are allowed to give us about the heroics class we will be attending tomorrow. As when Nezu-sensei came to tell us about it earlier we did not get a very substantial amout of information as to what to expect" this ofcourse was followed by many air slicing arm chops.
"Well Iida, I regret to inform you I'm no more in the know than you. I believe Nezu will be having the teachers help in the activities and not try to hinder them. So whichever class I'm with I suspect I won't have to beat up. Hopefully." A proper grin formed on his face this time. The one that students who had never seen him in his bright pink sweat pants to flee from.
"Oh! Sensei you're actually with us. Nezu-sensei just came and told us. That's like quite literally the only thing actually he told us. The teachers." Most students didn't notice Midoriya's eye's role when he finished that sentence. Those who did see it though laughed. It's not very often you see Midoriya Izuku get annoyed about something.
"Well I guess that's good for me" Aizawa leaned up against the door frame "No need to tell me the other teachers. Nezu will inform me when I get back to the teachers dorms. Now it's time for lights out so you all better be in bed in the next ten minutes."
A frantic scrambling followed as the students rushed to get ready for bed. None had noticed the time while they were talking over what might happen the next day. This ment no one had realized the time was half ten. Half an hour past their 'bed time' allotted to all the UA students who lived in the dorms.

"Kacchan" Walking up behind Bakugo, Izuku went infront of him. Forcing the other boy to stop in his tracks.
"Yeh Zu?" Bakugo's posture relaxed. Hands in his pockets.
"Did you hear Nezu. When....when he was talking about what we're doing tomorrow?" The boy look nervous, his eyes fliting around the hall. Making sure no one was listening. That he wasn't listening, because Izuku wouldn't put it past his principal.
"Come on." Katsuki grabbed Izukus arm and pulled him into his dorm, shutting the door after them. He spun the shorter boy around to face him, putting his hands on Izuku's sholders. Looking the boy dead in the eye. There was not even a hint of anything showing on his face. Nothing. Except his eyes. It wasn't quite fear, but it wasn't just anticipation either. Katsuki was nervous.
Izuku went to talk. To explain what he was trying to say before he thought of security cameras. Katsuki beat him to it though.
"Somethings up with the rat, and it scares me. It scares me Izuku because that thing is one of the most intelligent creatures on earth and humans fucked with him." The hands on Izukus sholders grew tighter before moving to his face cupping his cheeks with his hands "We fucked with him." And Katsuki let go of Izukus face, abruptly spining around as he started to pace his room "Now I think he's gonna fuck with us, and if he wants to do somthing. I don't think we can stop him. We can't fucking stop him Izuku, and i know its stupid caz' he wouldn't do that and im just being paranoid and shit, but i dont know Zu. There was somthing in his voice out there. Something in his eyes, his posture. It freaked me the fuck out and i know im not the only one" The pacing stopped. Turning to Izuku Katsuki saw the same look mirrored in his boyfriends eye.
"I know. I know! But he wouldn't do that. He's our teacher Kacchan. He wouldn't hurt us." Midoriya's eye's were hard with somthing. Not determination or preparation, no kt was somthing different. Like he was trying to will himself to...well to believe himself.
But he was right.
Everything he said was true.
Right?

As Yaoyorozu made her way up towards her room many questions flew around her head. She knew no sleep would come to her if she didn't talk to someone about the next mornings events. Talking to Shoto was out of the question as it was past curfew so if she was spotted on the boy's side of the dorms there would be repercussions. Then as she got to floor two she remembered her amazing girlfriend.
"Jiro" she announced herself as she made it to said girls door, knocking lightly then remembering that Jiro was one of the students who went up earlier. She's probably asleep.
That's when the door opened to a purple, messy haired girl.
"Bed head" Yaoyorozu let out a huff of laughter. As Yaoyorozu entered the room she gave Jiro a quick hug.
"Sorry if I woke you sweetie, but I just wasn't able to stop my mind from thinking." She looked her girlfriend straight in the eye.
"Its ok Momo, I get what you mean. I'm so confused about what we're doing tomorrow. That rat wasn't very informative." Rolling her eyes and waiting for her girlfriend to reprimand her for insulting a teacher, but she never did. Jiro looked Yaoyorozu back in the eye."you agree with me!" A huge smile crossed her face as she rested her head on the other girls sholder.
"I don't know either. I'm rather confused but....I'm also quite worried. I have a bad feeling about this Jiro." Her arms came around purple haired girls sholders and a grimace fell on her face.
"Me too Momo...me to. It scared me. When he was talking. Momo if you could here his heartbeat while he was talking you would be scared too. It was too clam. So fucking calm like it always is and then when....when he said its a survival simulation" she stopped as a shiver ran through her body. She suddenly felt the other girls hand start gliding through her hair, gently untangling throught the knots. "His heart rate jumped. Jumped like her was excited. That rat scares me Momo."
"I know. I know. He....well in that moment he scared me too, I could hear it in his voice. But I think we are just being anxious for no reason. UA has never led us wrong before. They will keep us safe."
They stood in silence for a few more minutes. Just feeling eachothers presence. Knowing that they are safe and here. Nothing can change that.
Right?
