At least not physically. However, you could not trick a Klyntar by just changing your look up a bit. Venom recognized him and how he felt up close immediately, a task made even easier by the other thing Venom immediately felt upon the man's entrance.
...
All Might, the symbol of peace, the pride of Japan, the greatest product of humanity's warrior class, was in constant pain. Horrible, horrible pain.
It would seem the man's quirk did not come with regeneration powers.
Unlucky him.
The pain was centered around All Might's gut, but beyond that, Venom could not tell what the injury was exactly.
The pain did not prevent All Might from letting out a booming laugh, as he jumped into his role as a teacher.
"Foundational Hero Studies! In this class, we will be building up your hero foundation through various trials! Today! That trial will be… The Trial Of Battle!!!"
Throughout his speech, All Might made dramatic motions, presumably to hype up the upcoming trial, ending with him proudly presenting a large card with the word " BATTLE" written on it.
The class, including both Izuku and Venom, took the news of actual combat training with rather great enthusiasm.
Venom was torn, on hand, the idea of having the students have an actual battle on their second day was an absolutely terrible idea… On the other hand, they really didn't care if the rest of the less powerful students got hurt. Venom and Izuku would be fine.
"And to go with your first battle…" He clicked a button on a small remote, and the wall to the side opened up and a bunch of containers all with a number popped out. "We have prepared the gear we had you send in requests for, to enhance your quirks!"
Everyone in the class exclaimed a shout of joy and enthusiasm at that proclamation.
"Now, get changed, and we'll be all ready to go! After you're done changing, everyone head to Grounds B! The garb you bring out into the battlefield is vitally important boys and girls! They will be how all who see you recognize you from now on."
As he walked towards the exit with great energy in each step stopped by the door to give one final bit of wisdom.
"And don't forget! From now on… You are all officially Heroes!"
Well, it wasn't the most profound thing Venom had heard from a teacher, but they would take it compared to the complete lack of energy Aizawa had.
...
Izuku hadn't worn Venom in the manner the symbiote had explained was the most efficient one for combat, since the day they had finalized their bond.
Which was to say he was just wearing his underwear beneath the suit.
"Is this really the best way to wear this…?"
"Yesss… the less fabric we have to deal with, the better we can focus on acting as armor. The absolute best would be if you were wearing nothing at all, but-" "I'm not doing that."
He blushed just thinking about it. He felt incredibly exposed with just his underwear underneath his second Black/Blue skin, there was no way in hell that he'd ever be able to just go completely naked in public.
For one thing, it was just begging for incredible awkwardness if the suit was ever dissolved and had to reform. That would be bad enough with pants only, but with nothing on? Izuku shuddered at the thought.
At the moment, Izuku and Venom were alone on grounds B with All Might, and a female student named Toru Hagakure, who's quirk was being completely invisible.
Izuku felt both an incredible want to go up and talk to All Might, and incredible embarrassment standing next to both his idol and a girl, while feeling incredibly exposed.
Not helping the fact was that Izuku got a distinct impression Toru was checking him and his skin-tight suit out. Which just made him feel even more awkward and exposed.
One huge advantage of generating your own costume, as Izuku had just discovered, was being able to change incredibly quickly. As proven by the fact he and Toru, were the first here by a longshot, both having really easy to change into costumes.
Izuku had his black suit, while Toru's costume was composed of a set of shoes and gloves.
It was a sign of how self-conscious he felt, that he didn't even consider the fact that a girl was standing relatively close to him while technically being almost completely naked.
Finally, the rest of the class showed up, dressed in a wide variety of costumes, some more practical than others.
"WOW, you look really cool Izuku!" Uraraka said in a cheerful tone as she came up to him.
Izuku blushed so hard he felt like he was giving off heat, though his face was concealed behind his black mask. Then he blushed even harder at the sight of Uraraka herself.
Uraraka's costume was a tight black jumpsuit with open uncovered arms, a fur cape that was fastened to buttons in her jumpsuit, gloves, and simple boots.
It was a simple, yet perfectly functional costume, yet it also showcased something about Uraraka Izuku hadn't noticed before.
The girl had REALLY well-built musculature. She wasn't the only girl in class with noticeable muscles, as Mina also had a pretty noticeable build. However, Mina was built more like the top 5 hero Miruko, while Uraraka was more like… Well, frankly she had muscles that weren't that far from Izuku's own current build.
Not that it detracted much from her attractiveness, as she had pretty noticeable curves, which her outfit showed off perhaps too well.
Still, it was a pretty jarring contrast between how Izuku had generally thought of her as a really cute girl and her actual build like an Amazon.
That being said, he still thought she looked great.
"Man, it must be great to just have an outfit you can just throw on and off whenever. It must be practical."
"Yea-Yeah it really is."
"My costume ended up being WAY tighter than I had planned, I really should have been more specific with my drawings."
She looked over with a longing look at Iida, who wore an incredibly detailed costume, that made him look like a car that had taken human form… that still had very loose cloth parts.
Suddenly, Mineta, a dwarf with hair made up of purple balls inserted himself in front of Izuku with a thumb up sign, and proclaimed "Heroics is the greatest!" then walked off without another word.
Had… Had he even talked with Mineta before now?
Further socializing between students was cut short by All Might, who seemed incredibly eager to start this class in earnest.
"Now then, that you are all finally here… It is time to see what you are made of my little embryos!!! It is time for the trial of BATTLE!!!"
" But before that, let me just say that I'm really liking everyone's styles! VERY COOL!!!" He gave a thumbs-up, and Izuku felt incredible pride and joy in the black suit that was Venom , washing away his earlier embarrassment in newfound pride.
-Fucking hell man, you are way too damn easy to influence.-
Iida suddenly held up his hand.
"Sensei! Regarding the performance ground we'll be using, is it the mock city from the entrance exam?"
All Might gave a chuckle as he answered "Close Tenya-Kun, but no, we will not be using the city itself for this exercise. Instead-" He motioned with a hand to one of the massive tall buildings that littered the fake cities. " This will be an indoor battle trial!!!"
"Villain cleanup is usually seen out in the open, but statistically, most of our job is done inside. Most acts of villainy are done indoors after all."
In front of him and to his left stood Katsuki, hanging on to All Might's every word. Yeah, Izuku understood what All Might meant. Most acts of beating down the weak did happen indoors. He knew that from personal experience.
"Imprisonment… House Arrest… The Black Market… Why, any Villains with any intelligence operates in the shadows!!!"
"For this test, you'll be separated into "Villain groups" and "Hero groups"... FOR A TWO ON TWO. TEAM BATTLE!!!"
-What do you think the chances are, that we'll be getting to fight that bastard Katsuki?-
"Well, that would depend on if it's random or-" Izuku answered in a quiet voice before he was interrupted by Tsuyu.
"What about Foundational training?"
"This is Foundational training Tsuyu-Chan! Only this time there won't be any robots that it's just okay for you to destroy!"
All Might was about to continue, but was suddenly interrupted by the entire class starting to as questions at once.
"So how do we determine who wins and loses?" "Is it okay if we just blow them away?" "Is there going to a threat of expulsion for anyone like there was with Aizawa-Sensei?" "If we're separated into different groups, what method would be best to do so?" "Doesn't this cape look dazzling on me?"
All Might was not amused, though he did not react with rage. "I can't make you out if ALL OF YOU speak up at ONCE!"
Instead of answering any of their questions directly though, All Might instead pulled out a piece of paper and began to read from it.
"For this exercise, we'll have the "Villains" guard a nuclear weapon they intend on deploying! The "Heroes" job will be to stop or their nefarious scheme before it's too late!"
-Holy shit what a melodramatic scenario! If he wants this to be a plausible mission he should have used something more sensible, like a nerve gas bomb, or a bomb to knock out all electronics in the area. You know, sensible, realistic shit.-
"If the "Heroes" captures the "Villains" or touch the nuclear device before the time runs out, they win. If the "Villains" manage to keep the device uncompromised until the clock runs out, or manage to capture the "Heroes", they win!"
