In the first week of May, wearing his silver-age costu, All Might made a flashy entry through the Class 1-A's doors.
"I AM HERE!"
As All Might walked in, a cheery wave coursed through the students.
Even though All Might started at UA from the start of this year, it was the first ti he would be teaching the first years of the Hero Course.
First, it was the Jaku Incident that kept him occupied.
Because of that, Sand had to fill in, turning All Might's Hero Combat Course into a Hand-to-Hand Combat one.
Then, only last week, it was the UA's barrier-breaking incident during the lunch break, followed by the massive explosion outside the school premises.
The Pro Heroes and Police had made no arrests related to these incidents yet.
All Might, on the other hand, had decided to carry on his tutor's duties.
"Aizawa must have told you all about a Special Combat Exercise," All Might said, putting on a big smile. "Well, what are you waiting for?! Put on your costus and et at Ground Beta!"
…
"You just wish you don't have to fight , fanboy!" Bakugo grinned madly, staring at Luke. "This is no handy-handily combat… I am gonna destroy you!"
Luke couldn't help but smile wryly.
They had already arrived at Ground Beta, donning their Hero costus.
Luke rembered so things Momo had told him about this particular exercise, but there were no details. Still, he didn't mind that. For him, this was a fun way to explore his Beyonder powers more without letting anyone find them out.
Of course, unlike Luke, Nyx couldn't remain shut against an insult.
"Destroy us?!" She cawed, chuckling like a villain. "Like you destroyed the toilet before coming here…"
"You! Freaking bird!!" Bakugo fud, sparks going off his palm.
"What?" Nyx's eyes narrowed. "Feeling nervous? Oh, wait! Is that how your Quirk works? You collect sweat from your ass…"
"Alright, enough!" Luke pinched Nyx's beak as he saw Bakugo's face going red and pink in anger. He hurriedly apologized and put so distance between them. "Seriously, Nyx?! Do you have to be a child with children?"
"Shut up!" Nyx snapped. "I was so excited to beco a Seer… even stole… I an, bought a Diamond Pendulum… Why do I have to wait?!
"I am telling you… that Miss Justice has ulterior motives… textbook case of spies… I read everything about it in the third volu of the Underskirt Kingdom of Princess Diana…"
Luke rubbed his face, barely trying to keep it in.
He had explained it to her, but Nyx was just not ready to let it go.
According to Miss Justice, Luke could only give soone a Sequence Potion one level lower than him. As he was a Sequence 9 of the three Pathways, he couldn't brew a Sequence 9 Seer Potion for Nyx yet.
However, as technically Nyx had adopted the faith of Mr. Fool, Luke had fulfilled his one-follower requirent to unlock the next series of Sequences.

…
As always, Luke liked the Marauder's Pathway's Sequence 8 the least. There was just sothing about the Swindler na that disgusted him.
The next sequence of Seer Pathway, Clown, felt the strangest one, and Luke failed to find any relation between a Clown and a Seer, making him frown.
Then, there was Trickmaster.
The sheer number of tricks this Sequence could do surprised Luke.
This Sequence 8 felt the most practical to him, despite a Seer's strangeness.
Of course, for now, he needed to digest the Apprentice Potion, and Luke had already figured out the Acting thod — to be a good student.
The core of the Apprentice Potion lay in humbly accepting the teachings.
For a student like him, guided by Pro Heroes in different exercises, even Miss Justice had guessed that he wouldn't take more than a month to digest it fully.
Luke saw All Might clearing his throat and he joined the children as well.
If accepting teachings was the goal, then he would make sure to accept All Might's instructions and impress him to get feedback.
"For this course," All Might said, replying to Tenya's question about the choice of the battle site, "you will be split into teams of villains and heroes and fight 2-on-2 indoor battles.
"I know that you have been learning basic hand-to-hand combat, right? It would be the best ti to put those moves into practice as well."
Momo raised her hand. "Sir, how the wins and losses will be decided?"
"How much can we hurt the other team?" Bakugo asked. "Can I kill a bird?"
Nyx's head snapped toward Bakugo. She raised her wing. "Sir, if I have to go the bathroom, can I…"
All Might felt a headache coming as he tried to calm down a riled-up Bakugo and bird. He hurriedly pulled out a script from his pocket.
"Listen up!" All Might said, quieting everyone. "Here's the situation. The Villains have hidden a Nuclear Warhead sowhere in a five-story building. The Heroes must foil their plans.
"A win for Villains will be if they successfully prevent the Heroes from capturing them or prevent them from recovering the warhead.
"A win for Heroes will be if they successfully capture the Villains or recover the warhead.
"You will have 15 minutes to do all this. We will choose teams by drawing lots."
"Isn't there a better way?" Tenya complained.
Midoriya was about to answer, when Luke stepped up, finding an opportunity to solidify the groundwork for his Acting. "If you think about it, Pro Heroes often have to team up on the spot. Just take the Jaku Incident as an example.
"Rabbit Hero: Mirko and All Might tead up to take down the Villains there, no?"
As Midoriya smiled at Luke, and Tenya apologized for guessing it wrong, All Might gave Luke a big thumbs up. "You said it right, young Luke! OK! Let's draw!!!"
After a few monts, All Might declared the teams.
With a strange turn of fate, Luke was paired with none other than Momo Yaoyorozu.
