Line Break
The morning air over Musutafu carried the lingering scent of the last cherry blossoms. The sun, pale and distant behind a thin veil of clouds, continued its slow but assured ascent into the sky, casting a soft glow over the land. U.A. had planted plenty of Sakura trees on the road up the hill leading up to its entrance, so the last stranglers of students who hurried on by could get a thick and floral scent of them as they raced onto campus.
Many others had already made it onto campus and were waiting for the start of the day in their homerooms. The first-year hero course was no different. Despite the attack, no injuries had been so serious that a day or two in the hospital couldn't fix them, and the added days off school only helped to relieve tension among them and the greater student body.
Or at least it would have been if they hadn't been invited out last Saturday and ended up learning things about the world they could have never imagined, never mind believed, if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes. But where the USJ had been a stressful time for all, their time at Emerald Labs seemed to only elevate their spirits. How could it not be when one discovered an entirely new side to the world?
“You know, with how everyone was, I didn’t even watch anything about the USJ attack on the news.” Hagakure pointed out, which served as something of a new conversation between them as Kirishima tapped his chin in thought.
"Oh yeah, my folks mentioned that they walked the special report, but I was kind of distracted by the whole monster thing.” The redhead replied, as when you went up against that, some basic criminals really seemed even lesser than they were.
"It was kind of weird seeing my face on the news or remembering that they'll still be talking about it," Asui added. When her parents called about it, they naturally worried for her. Like her siblings, she had been more focused on what she witnessed. She didn't tell them that, and she figured they suspected she was keeping something, but hopefully, they didn't suspect what she was hiding.
"Well, it was something no one expected to ever happen, and it's not like the police or heroes released any details. All they can do is speculate." Kaibara noted.
“It was weird watching that from the other side. One report was talking about how it was just a training accident that got out of hand and U.A. lied to save face.” Kaminari giggled.
"Did you see the one about it actually being an assault by Shiketsu, who wants to take the rivalry to the next level?" Ashido asked him, to which he nodded. Jiro looked at both in exasperation.
“What news sources are you guys using?” she asked them as they rattled off the craziest stuff that couldn't possibly have been in any legitimate news. It sounded closer to things you'd read in a conspiracy theorist chat room.
“Either way, we kicked those villains’ butts. And we got to fight a monster; what's manlier than that?” Kirishima asked, Tetsutetsu loudly agreeing with him as the two shared a handshake, trying to squeeze the other’s hand into submission.
“How are you two so pumped about this? You saw that thing? It was a horror movie with legs and wanting to kill us!” Mineta yelled at that.
“Shut up, you pipsqueak!” Bakugo barked at him, getting Mineta to yelp before he dived behind Sato for cover, the taller wondering when he would become the human shield.
"Someone's in a saltier mood," Tokage noted. Since they arrived for homeroom, Bakugo had been a ball of anger…well, he always was, but it wasn't this blatant.
“He’s probably mad that he missed the big fight. You know he would have loved to blow that thing up.” Sero joked, which only got on Bakugo's nerves as he expectantly shot to his foot, explosions popping off in his hands.
“You want me to go over there and shut you up?” he threatened. Sero raised his hands in surrender, and Iida stood up, chopping his hand towards the two.
“Bakugo, Sero, no fighting in class! It’s beneath hero students!” he yelled at the two, Kendo agreeing with him. She kept her eye on every temperamental classmate. If any of them would be the one to escalate, it would be Bakugo.
“He's right. Besides, we shouldn't be getting into needless arguments about that." Kendo spoke up, Bakugo glaring at her but without one punishment over his head. He wasn't looking to make things worse, so he sat down with a grunt.
Yaoyorozu sometimes wondered about Bakugo and how someone with such a temperament could want to be a hero. Still, if he wasn't causing issues, they could work together. Besides, there was some good news for some of them. “She’s right, we’re meant to be getting those contacts today, so let’s try and focus on that.”
Fukidashi seemed to have too much energy during the remainder. “I still can’t believe it; you do think we’ll be able to see each other’s quirks or just Midoriya and Aoyama’s?”
"Not sure, they never said anything about it, but a quirk's a quirk, right? It shouldn't be impossible." Tokage replied.
"I know I haven't forgotten; I've been looking forward to it all weekend." Komori cheered as she hoped that her quirk was as cute as the mushrooms she created as those clips and other files should make it seem like quirks looked like their users but also could take on other forms.
"Still, it was a rushed order, especially for some requiring specialized variants. We can't expect them to have managed it when they need to keep so much under wraps." Iida reminded them, though he spent quite a bit of his weekend wondering about the logistics of their operation.
“How odd would it be to order that many? It’s not like they’re made by banned substances….right?” Tsunotori asked, looking toward Shishida.
“Why are you looking at me?” Shishida asked as he fixed his glasses.
“No reason.” She replied as she didn't want to explain that someone with glasses would know more than that. Before he or someone else could ask, she changed the subject. "Speaking of which, has anyone seen Midoriya or Aoyama? They would typically be in class by now."
Her question was enough to divert attention as Yanagi frowned in thought. "Not sure, they didn't tell us anything." And after the weekend they had, those two promised they wouldn't keep secrets from them, especially if it was necessary.
"We didn't see them in the morning, but they sent a text saying they'll be a little late, but we cleared it with the school," Kamakiri replied as he scrolled through his phone.
There were questions about that, such as what could lead both boys to need to be allowed to arrive late? Was there another case that soon that they needed to handle? Was there some issue at Midoriya's mother's lab? Such questions formed more, but none could be voiced as the door opened.
"Morning," Aizawa greeted his students, the man looking as tired as ever. But he wasn't alone, as behind him were their two missing classmates, both carrying large boxes. I'll skip through the fanfare and get to the point. The order we placed for those contacts came through this morning. Midoriya and Aoyama just had to go fetch them as they arrived at the lab." He walked to the front, followed by the two boys who lifted the boxes in question.
“They got them done that fast?” Iida asked, as others were just happy to get them.
“Oh man, I can’t wait, where’s mine?” Kaminari asked.
“Quiet down,” Aizawa flashed his quirk, getting the room to quiet down and regain some composure. "The staff have already received our letter not too long ago, so I can tell you that it won't be as you expected. Once you all have them, we'll explain." With that said, he turned to the two, already dreading the coming act.
"You can start handing them out, " he told them, nodding and stepping forward to address their classmates and fellow heroes-in-training.
Aoyama took the lead, the flamboyant showman always eager for the spotlight. “Understood, all right, ladies and gentlemen. Before we start, we ask that you wait till everyone has them before putting them up. As for these lenses and the speed of production, that was accomplished; as for most of you, little needed to be changed.” He set the box down on Kamakiri’s desk as Midoriya did the same with Tokage’s.
"However, taking into account your quirks and general heteromorph features," Midoriya took over from there, his eye going over them. He started calling them out as he saw them. “Bondo, Monoma, Fukidashi, Tokoyami, Todoroki, Hagakure, Shishida, Kaminari, Kuroiro, Ashido and Asui.”
With their attention, he opened his box. He pulled out a smaller box with Kaminari's name written on it. In contrast, Aoyama pulled out one for comparison. His had no such names, as it was ordered without specifications. “You’ll all get your contacts from me.”
“Wait, why is Monoma on the list? And Todoroki and Kaminari as well?” Kirishima asked as the people in question got up and walked over to Midoriya. Aoyama went down the aisles and placed cases on each person's desk.
“Monoma’s quirk kinda makes it that his features can change depending on whatever quirk he has, so we got him something a little more adaptive,” Midoriya explained as the producer, an eccentric woman in her own right, had only seen it as a challenge even if she charged them more. Good thing Nezu agreed to pay for it.
He handed Monoma his case and reminded the blonde, "Though should you have issues, please come to Aoyama or me, and we'll try to get you a replacement pair."
"Much appreciated," Monoma smirked as he accepted the case and returned to his desk. Todoroki was next in line.
"As for the others, it's all about how their quirks function. Half Todoroki's face can drop to polar temperatures at the drop of a hat while the other half has the opposite." Midoriya explained, handing the case to the fire and ice user. "So, Todoroki, please remember which is which, or else it can lead to…complications."
Todoroki could imagine, and while part of him thought he could use the fire one, he wouldn't go so far as to leave himself half-blind to possible threats. “I’ll keep that in mind.” Kaminari was the most excited of the bunch, approaching Midoriya like a kid in the candy shop given free rein to pick whatever they wanted for free.
"I'm guessing Kaminari's the same because his body emits electricity, which could damage the regular ones." Yaoyorozu guessed as Aoyama handed her a case. The girl inspected it and noted that it wasn't of lousy quality. It was nothing like what she would have had lying about, but certainly, whoever they contracted had an eye for presentation.
“Oh yeah, that makes sense.” Kaminari agreed with her, leaving Jiro and Kaibara wondering how Yaoyorozu figured out about his quirk before he did. But hey, he was happy, so they'll let him have his moment.
"But what about me? I don't secret acid from my eyeballs, you know." Ashido asked as Midoriya handed her a case, to which he shrugged.
“Call it a precaution.” Ashido had never tried it, but maybe they were designed for splashback since Ashido could secret a continuous flow from her hands and feet without issue. Depending on how she created it, it could be similar to water, and anyone who has washed dishes can tell you that it can splash to the oddest of places.
“And that’s the last of them," Aoyama said as he handed the last of his cases to Bakugo. Bakugo took it with a guff noise and little else, but the Frenchman didn't expect much from Bakugo, so he wasn't offended.
When everyone opened the cases, they found some cleaning supplies, as well as both contact lenses suspended in an antibacterial fluid that was good for 100 washes. It was also safe for their eyes; otherwise, they'd need to dry them before putting them on every morning.
“Why don't you open them up and put them on? Don't worry; it's not as hard as regular contacts." Aoyama encouraged, and to his word, it wasn't nearly as hard as they thought it would be. When they held it over their eyes, the lens fell and seemed to self-align. A couple of blinks later, they could hardly feel them there, and their vision didn't seem impaired.
But with them on, they didn't really…see anything different, not in themselves, their classmates, or their teacher. "Oh, okay, now what?" Tetsutetsu asked.
"I'm not seeing anything different," Kendo replied as she was tempted to try and use her quirk and see if that would change anything.
Aoyama, who, along with Midoriya, returned to the front and puffed up his chest. “Luminance, shall you dazzle them?”
Seemingly born from nothing, a creature formed at Aoyama's side. The students saw what could be a truly massive peacock, the bird's body nearly as large as a large horse. Koda was especially surprised by that until he recalled it wasn’t truly a peacock.
Even if not, it was perhaps for the best as no other could compare to its beauty with its long, slender build draped in feathers that started white but quickly faded into all colors of the rainbow, bright and seemingly bioluminescent. Its tail was so large compared to its body that the bird saw fit to open them, letting them rise halfway to the ceiling, an impressive feat when one recalled how the room's ceiling wasn't average height but more than double what you'll in typical buildings like officers.
Like its body, its tail was decked out in bright, rainbow feathers that constantly shifted colors. Atop her elegant and lean head, she had three flower-like feathers and kaleidoscopic eyes that, like her tail, were an ever-changing array of colors.
Shivering a little as she formed in the human world, the massive bird turned to Aoyama, seemingly not amused. “Yuga, darling, just because I enjoy the spotlight doesn't mean I'll just prance about whenever you ask it of me.” Even her voice flowed like water over smooth stones.
“Holy shit! That’s your quirk?” Tsunotori pointed at the giant creature as it…she turned to the rest of the class, whose jaws were wide open. Well, most of them, she spotted a few that did it better, but Luminance knew they were just as amazed by her beauty as they should for a creature such as her.
"She's beautiful," Tokoyami uttered, and the prideful creature soaked up the words like a sponge to water as she daintily strolled towards him. Her long legs allowed her to step over tables like stones on a path.
“Oh, such a handsome lad; please, praise me more.” She leaned forward, eyeing up Tokoyami, who felt Dark Shadow getting…jealous of all things with this one.
“Don’t feed her ego,” they turned to see another quirk; this one rested atop Midoriya's head. “It’s big enough as is," Faunalution continued. She was nothing like the first, if for no other reason than their size. She resembled a tiny dog with how easily she could just sit atop Midoriya's head with only her long vulpine, bushy tail hanging off his head, her fur mainly brown with a fox-like face and ears with bright red eyes.
“Everyone, this is Faunalution, my main quirk.” Midoriya introduced herself, though they didn't have time to gush over the adorable little creature, and Luminance scoffed at her words.
“Mangy mutts are always barking. I can’t help that I’m beautiful while you…cute.” As soon as that last word was said, it was like Faunalution’s mood shifted from lazy to alert-no to furious as her fur stood on end, her tail went alert, and her ears twitched toward the peacock.
“Oh no.” Midoriya groaned as Aoyama took a step back.
“What?” Uraraka asked. What was the issue with being cute? Or was this about the mangy mutts part?
Her size meant nothing as Faunalution hissed back. “Did you call me cute, you overgrown chicken?! I'll wring your noodle neck right here, right now!”
“Overgro-You dare?!” Luminance was tripped up by the insult before she turned, just as furious as her counter park as she stalked down the stairs, her form shifting as it shrunk and transformed till when she reached the end, what stood there was an exceptionally tall, pale woman with the same eyes as before with waist length white hair whose ends halfway become an ever-shifting array of color. That hair was styled into ringlets, and lastly, Luminance wore what seemed to be a ladies' white, blue, and golden evening dress seemingly picked out of the wardrobe of a noblewoman from mid-1700s France.
Mineta seemed to be eying up the lady as usual. Still, everyone else wished not to be there as the woman's heels clicked against the floor like gunshots. "How dare you compare me to mere poultry! I’ll gouge out your eyes since you clearly aren’t using them!”
Faunalution’s hissed again as she jumped off Midoriya’s head and flipped-mid-she too changed, shifting to her humanoid form and landing in a crouch; she stood to her full height, displaying her fair skin, bright, confident, confrontational eyes with her hair being similar waist length and brown like her fur had been, but more of a mane then the well-dressed ringlets of her counterpart. Still, unlike her, she retained elements of her beastly form with a flower pattern-tipped tail, sizable pointed fox ears atop her head, and her hands and feet covered in fur and tipped with long, dark claws.
Standing up to her foil, it didn't seem to occur to her that she was smaller by at least 3 inches and what could be 30 lbs, as her smile displayed her canines, ready to rip into the taller woman. "Oh, you can try, you overrated pigeon; I'll rip those stupid ringlets off your head and strangle with them.”
“Guys, your quirks might be acting out!” Honenuki yelled, some having already taken cover beneath their desks.
"Midoriya, Aoyama! Is this normal because it seems dangerous?" Yaoyorozu yelled, but neither seemed to be moving. What was going on?!
"Screw that. This is getting good!" Bakugo seemed to be one of the only 2 eager for whatever fight was about to break out between them as he cheered for Frenchie’s quirk to win; the other was Kamakiri, who was cheering for Faunalution to show the prissy giant of a woman who was boss.
“Aizawa-sensei, aren’t you going to do something about this?” Iida turned to their teacher, hoping that the no-nonsense man would stop this. It seemed like one of them would throw the first punch any moment now, and they had all seen what a rampant quirk could do.
Aizawa just sighed. “Why would I? They’re messing around.”
Like a switch had been flipped, the tension between the two quirks vanished as Faunalution turned and pouted toward Aizawa. “Oh, you didn’t have to ruin the bit, you sour puss! We had plenty more to share.”
Luminance, too, seemed equally disappointed that their fun had been cut short. “Honestly, some people can’t appreciate the arts.” She just couldn't understand humans like Aizawa, who had no love for theatrics, drama, or presentation. Perhaps that was why he had such…dull clothing. Was he allergic to color?
"I am…so lost," Rin spoke up for the group as it seemed like whatever was holding Midoriya and Aoyama back broke, the two starting to laugh at their confusion while their quirks turned to them with knowing, amused eyes.
“They wanted to display that the contacts allow you to fully see and hear them. I thought it was a waste of time…I was out-voted.” Aizawa explained.
“And you still ruined it! I’m going to have to that Kayama lady about you.” Luminance wagged her finger at the smaller man, who hardly batted an eye. Even if Midnight gave him flak, he would stand by it.
“Wait…was that all an act?” Fukidashi asked, and when they nodded, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“They transformed? How cool is that?” Kaminari asked, losing his mind over them as both were straight knock-outs in the look department. Luminance was a tall, refined beauty with an hourglass figure that blended well with her dress. Faunalution, on the other hand, was smaller, scrappier- someone that you thought grew up as wild as she looked. She had a more bottom-heavy figure and long, powerful legs left exposed by the torn shorts she wore.
“Dude…how the heck is it fair that they have two babes as quirks?” Mineta asked himself, as he could already tell their three measurements, and oh God, did he want to cop a feel, especially of Luminance, who was the peak of 'step on me, mommy' energy he had ever seen.
“Dude, you need to touch some grass.” Sero turned to warn him as sure they were hot, but they were also not human and belonged to guys…okay, that sounded worse than it was, but his point stood. This was far too complicated to let being horny guide you down. What could end with a horrifically painful death, or just you want to die from whatever embarrassment that befell you?
Of course, Mineta might have had the common sense to keep his thoughts on the downlow. They were present with sensitive enough hearing to hear, as Faunalution’s ears had twitched in their direction, which made the fox girl smile. "Oh, did you hear that, Lumi? You got a fan?”
Luminance raised a delicate, finely groomed eyebrow. “What are you talking about? I have many fans. How could I not?”
"All right, you can discuss this later," Aizawa stopped them before they could continue as they needed to finish this. "But we should move on. Those contacts don't just allow you to see artificial quirks or quirk spirits. They can also allow you to see regular ones."
"Really?" Kendo asked, to which Aizawa nodded as he flashed his quirk again. Now that they all had the equipment, they could see something that Aoyama and Midoriya had been seeing since they were ten. Behind Aizawa, a mass of tendrils and scales formed, writhing and twisting about before revealing itself to be a five-headed hydra, each looking like a fearsome dragon with razor-sharp teeth and eyes as red as their holder.
The students gulped when they were faced with it. As if nothing else, the creature fit its master, as its gaze could freeze them in place. With his point made, Aizawa let his quirk fade, and with it, the creature vanished from sight. "Yes, but only when they're active. Heteromorphic quirks that permanently alter your forms don't count, from what I've been told."
“Holy…I didn’t think your quirk would look like that, Aizawa-sensei.” Sato noted.
"I would have imagined it being more octopus since he can kinda, I don't know, wrap you in his erasure." Tsunotori tried to put it into words, but she had never had to describe how a quirk looked, so was having issues with it.
"Don't ask me for the specifics; it's well above my pay grade." Aizawa’s words got them to turn to their resident experts.
"Quirks match the holder and have two forms. Don't ask for the how and why; my mother's still working on that." Midoriya replied, which they could accept. However, with that done, they started to flash their own quirks, showing off something that could have never been imagined before.
“Why does mine look like that?” Mineta asked when displayed his quirk by pulling balls off his head, only for Monoma to describe it as a purple caterpillar made from balls similar to his hair.
"Perhaps because it's nothing compared to mine quirk looks like." Monoma gloated as Fukidashi described a quirk befitting a collection of mirrors and crystals forming three interlocking rings.
“Gotta admit, you have a pretty good-looking power." Tokage complimented Jiro's.
Attentively sitting on her desk was an avian-styled creature similar to Luminance, just much smaller. It had a long, sharp beak, primarily orange, fading to red and black at the tip. Its round blue eyes sat beneath pale grey, pointed eyebrows. Feathers formed a short crest at the back of its head. White markings covered its face, chest, and wing undersides. A jagged red band encircled its neck. Its long tail had three feathers, and its spindly blue legs had two toes pointing forward and two backward.
“So cute!” Hagakure called from across the classroom when Uraraka used Zero gravity on her pencil case, allowing a small, pink, bipedal creature to float above her. It had a rounded snout, triangular ears, and large blue eyes filled with curiosity. Its short arms had three-fingered paws, large hind paws bore oval markings, and a long, thin tail ended in an ovoid tip.
Uraraka blushed a little at the compliment and looked up to see it. She could agree that her power was just adorable, but maybe she should not try using OFA, as…displaying 2 might lead to questions.
“Yes, I got an alien!" Ashido cheered as her quirk seemed to form when she made some acid in her hands, the creature looking like an otherworldly dragon. Its curved body resembled the number three, with light purple sides marked by slender lines and a dull brown body. A purple patch surrounded its red eyes and had a tubular, upturned snout. A thin appendage extended from the back of its head, topped with a red, leaf-like crest and two brownish-green antennae. Leaf-like appendages adorned its sides and tailfin, while three small spikes lined its back.
“Not sure what the steal beam is for, but it's certainly something I can get behind." Kendo appraised as she let her hand grow, and with it, her quirk appeared to her. A gray bipedal creature with a large, round, dark-red nose stood in the aisle to the side of her desk. Atop its head were bulbous features that resembled hair, with violet bulges resembling swelled veins across its large, muscular arms, thighs, and chest with similar bands adorning its shoulders. Weirdly, it had an hourglass shape and formed carrying an I-beam in its arms.
“Enough!” Aizawa regained control over his students, though, for one, he wasn't as irritated as he could be. Yes, they were acting like children at a zoo…but this was an unprecedented experience. They certainly didn't act any different than the staff. You can continue this on your own time. We have other things to discuss, that being the upcoming Sports Festival."
"We're still having it? Even after that whole mess with the villains?” Tokage asked, Midoriya and Aoyama silently taking their seats as they had all been far more invested in their quirks.
"She's right. Shouldn't we focus more on security right now so villains can't break in again…" Kaminari turned his eye towards the two in question, the same as the rest of the class.
"You don't need to worry about quirk spirits; unless incredibly powerful, they don't move about, and U.A.'s nothing that would link one to the grounds, especially a violent one," Midoriya answered their unspoken question with ease. "At best, there'll be some watching the events, but they won't cause any issues."
Aizawa nodded. "Your concerns are valid, especially the second one, but part of why U.A. is pushing forward with the festival is to show that our confidence in our revamped protocols holds strong even after that attack."
“Revamped?” Kirishima asked.
"I'll spare you the details but know there'll be five times as much security for the event this year compared to previous ones. However, there is a second reason why the sports festival wasn't canceled, and that's to do with you." Aizawa’s gaze swept over the room filled with young talent, people who could be forged into the next generation of heroes, provided they had the chance.
"The festival is where you'll showcase your abilities, intelligence, and, for your first years, your potential as future heroes not just to the public but to hero agencies," Aizawa explained, which caught on with some as they had all watched at least one Sports festival and knew that they could get insane with the events that happened, and how it was probably the biggest media event of the Year, Japan’s equivalent to the U.S. Superbowl.
“They’ll be watching to scout for up-and-coming talent to offer spots to.” Yaoyorozu nodded, having heard about this sort of thing from her parents. It was part of why she had asked to attend U.A. over Shiketsu.
"There's also the public appeal to it, as unlike other schools, who keep their festivals in-house, for us, people will see what we'll all about. It's a good PR boast for any agency if they can land one of our better-performing classmates." Honenuki leaned back into his chair, arms crossed, as he wondered how he would tackle this. The events were hardly the same as the previous years to keep things fresh.
"Yeah, but I would rather not end up just being a flashy new gimmick," Tsuburaba added that if he wanted to be watched and not touched, he would have tried acting.
"Well, if that's not what you want, do as you always do and work for it. The better your performance, the better the odds you'll be scouted by a top agency that can nurture your talents and bring out your potential in ways we just can't in a classroom." Aizawa spoke, redirecting attention to him, his face imparting just how serious of an opportunity this was for them; as if they performed, they could find offers from top agencies run by pros in the top 10.
“Keep in mind, you only get the 3 shots. Each one being increasingly harder than the last, so while I would heavily discourage you slacking off," The way he said that heavily part sent a shiver down their spines, as if any would be dumb enough to hold back now. Aizawa could see that, and his face twisted into a creepy smile matched only by the look in his eye. "This is your best shot to make a good impression. Am I clear?"
“Yes, sir!”
Line Break
Well, this is a little weird. I started writing this late because I was busy, but because we're back in more familiar territory, I still was able to get half of it done in a day. This meant that today, when I posted it, it was just half the work needed before the editing process, and it was then that I hit issues. Though there was something of a fun moment, I was able to add to this, which couldn't be in the last one.
Line Break
Yeah, they can take on human forms outside their inner world; it just takes practice, and, for them, it makes little difference, so they hardly do so. And when I called Luminance tall, I meant it as in her humanoid form, she stands at 185cm/6’1”, which is Shoto's age here(As you can guess, being older, their heights have been altered accordingly), and she weights 88kg/194 lbs. Faunalution’s stands at just 171cm/5’7” in her humanoid form and is much lighter, coming in at 72kg/158 lbs so yeah, imagine that height difference.
When it came to quirks and what they looked like, much like Midoriya took inspiration from the Eeevee line, his classmates took inspiration from several Pokemon. Jiro's a Trumbeak, Uraraka got Mew, Ashido’s took heavy hints from Dragalge, and Kendo got the weird one as I went with Gurdurr.
