Masks.

Izuku didn't have very many expectations for what Sensei would be putting them through. Questioning his sexuality was not high on that list, in fact in was even on the list of possible issues. Sensei, like pure usual was clad in black clothes. However, this time he had brought a friend that looked drop dead gorgeous. Izuku had met some people who gave you the look that indicated that they wanted sex. This man looked at you like he had already slept with you and was contemplating doing it again.


Beside him Bakugo had gone completely still and was staring at the man, eyes wide.


"Having a gay panic there?" Izuku teased and coped a punch to the shoulder.


*Who is this?* Bakugo signed with shaky hands.


"Sensei, Kachan is asking who this person is." Izuku translated.


Sensei chuckled and replied, "This is Uta. He's a friend of mine and he will be staying here for a couple of days to help improve your costumes. Then he will be going down to the 24th."


"Why would our costumes need improving?"


"You'll see. For now whilst we wait for the rest of the class to arrive would you like to spar?"


Izuku looked at Bakugo and shrugged. "Sure."


"Good. Sprout, you're with me. Cotton Puff you're with Uta."


*He's a fucking sadist.* Bakugo signed franticly as his face grew red.


Ten minutes later Izuku was slumped on the ground, exhausted and bruised. He was still yet to land a single blow on Sensei. Thankfully the man was patient and gave pointers on how to improve. Izuku never got this far with All Might as the number one hero was impatient and would always leave disappointed on Izuku's lack of improvement. Thinking of All Might, where was he? He hadn't turned up at school once, nor had he called. Sighing, Izuku sat up and joined the rest of the class.


"There has been a change of plans." Sensei began, catching everyone's attention. "Those students who are not capable or suited for hero duties clearly are not getting any better. Those who are, have been improving at an accelerated rate, so I have decided to cut the tests here. If I call your name please step forth."


'Oh no. Did I fail? What if I failed. Oh god All Might won't be happy.' Izuku panicked..


"Shoto Todoroki. Ibara Shoizaki. Denki Kaminari. Kyoka Jirou. Momo Yaozarouzu. Izuku Midoryia. Katsuki Bakugo. Itsuka Kendo. Tenya Iida. Toru Hagukure. Ejiro Kirishima. Ochacko Uraraka." Sensei called.


One by one the students all stepped forth, each one believing they had failed.


"You twelve have all passed. Congratulations." Sensei said cheerfully and oblivious of the near heart attack the children had. "Everyone else, you are all expelled. Grab your stuff and go home."


"As for you lot. Sit down, I have to explain something." He said, turning to those that passed.

The twelve students before Kaneki sat and listened as he explained everything to them. What he is, who he was and where he came from. None of them interrupted. None of them judged Denki when he explained that Denki was one of him. In fact Shoto had actually placed a supporting hand on Denki's shoulder.


"Any questions?" Kaneki asked.


Momo raised her hand, to which Kaneki nodded.


"I take it you would like to extend that offer you gave to Kaminari to us as well?" She asked.


"You have a keen eye, little Raven. Yes I would like to extend that offer to the rest of you. There will be no judgement on wether you choose to keep your humanity or become a monster. The only reason why I. Extending this choice to you is because the twelve of you are going to be front line fighters in the upcoming battles and this will help keep you alive longer. That is also why I have brought Uta with me today. Should you decide to become a Ghoul he will make you a mask and redesign your hero costume to better suit the usage of Kagune. I will let you think about it for now, but please give me your answer by the lessons end."


Much to Kaneki's surprise it took the class thirty minutes to come to s decision. Every single one of them had come to the conclusion that in order to be the best hero they could, they would sacrifice their humanity. If they needed to become monsters themselves to fight off the other monsters in the world then they would do it.


"Uta. Mask them." Kaneki ordered.
