Chapter 1: Discipline and Back Bone

Disclaimer: I own nothing

(((A little over two years ago)))

Inko Midoriya had brought her son, Izuku to meet with the Bakugo family. Izuku's mother and Katsuki's parents had something they needed to tell the boys.

Once everyone was in the Bakugo's living room, the conversation began.

"Alright, they're here. Now what the hell is it you want to tell us." Katsuki asked annoyed.

"Uhh… Well… Ya see…" Katsuki's father, Masaru stuttered.

"The both of you are about to enter middle school, and, well…" Inko tried.

Katsuki's mother, Mitsuki, already fed up with the spinelessness of her husband and friend, shouted "Oh for crying out loud. Both you boys are going to Military school."

"Wait, what? Military school?" Izuku questioned.

"What the hell, old hag?" Katsuki shouted.

"Is it really that big of a surprise?" Mitsuki asked. "Katsuki, you could use a little discipline, and Izuku, you definitely need to grow a spine."

Katsuki immediately started swearing, while Izuku began to feel nervous for his chances of surviving in a Military school. Ultimately, both boys were proving Mitsuki's point.

"I rest my case." Mitsuki joked as she pulled out a brochure and put it on the coffee table. A brochure for the Military school that the boys would be attending.

"Irohama Military Academy, turning boys into fine young men since 1986." Mitsuki recited. "That's where you two will be spending your middle school careers."

Katsuki only seethed while Izuku was on the brink of fainting.

(((Present day, Irohama Military Academy classroom)))

A class of twenty students, each student wearing the uniform of Irohama Military Academy. A dark blue Gakuran uniform, student cap, and a pair of black combat boots.

Among the class was Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo, both of whom had changed quite a bit during their time at Irohama.

Izuku had gone from a scrawny wimp to having quite a bit of muscle mass. He is currently ranked among the top five in his class in terms of physical ability. Something else that changed about him was his hair. He now had his hair styled in a crew cut, the shaggy hair on top of his head almost looking like a Mohawk. But the most significant change that Izuku had undergone was his attitude. He was no longer the scared little pushover he used to be. He was now a trained soldier with an iron will who took no nonsense from anyone.

Katsuki was different as well. His hair was no longer a wild mess, instead, it was now well groomed and parted on the side. It wasn't just Katsuki's hair that was different. He was no longer the foul mouth delinquent who used to bully people. Now, he was a respectful and polite young man who didn't hesitate to help someone in need. As it turns out, even Katsuki Bakugo wasn't stubborn enough to resist the disciplinary methods of Irohama.

Katsuki currently ranked first in his class.

"Students, Attention!" Voiced an ex-military man of roughly fifty-five years old. He wore a Japanese military uniform decorated with a number of medals. His name Kosuke Mokuji, formerly an Officer of the Japanese Military.

"Sir, yes Sir?" Each of the students replied simultaneously.

"Now that you've all entered your third year of middle school, you need to give some serious thought to your respective futures. You could stay here and enter Irohama's high school division; however, for those of you who want to become Pro Heroes, I regret to inform you that Irohama's high school division doesn't have a Heroics department. You have almost the whole school year to make your decision." Mokuji explained to his class.

"Cadet Bakugo?" Mokuji called.

"Sir?" Katsuki responded as he sat up from his desk, posture stiff as a board.

"Cadet Bakugo, since you're top of your class, I sincerely hope that you'll choose to stay at Irohama." Mokuji stated.

"Thank you, Sir. I intend to give the matter some serious consideration." Katsuki replied.

"At ease." Mokuji ordered.

Katsuki sat back down.

After class, Katsuki walked over to speak with Izuku.

"Cadet Midoriya, a moment of your time, please?" Katsuki requested.

"Of course Cadet Bakugo." Izuku responded.

"Cadet Midoriya, by any chance, have you already made a decision regarding high school?" Katsuki asked.

"You know that it's always been my dream to be a Hero." Izuku answered. "I thought you had the same dream. Are you really thinking about staying at Irohama instead of transfering to U.A.?"

"I'm honestly not sure." Katsuki admitted. "I've always wanted to be a Pro Hero, just like All Might, but I also want to continue here at Irohama."

"It's honestly a shame that we can't have it both ways, but it was decided when Quirks first appeared. It's illegal to use Quirks for military application, therefore, military academies like Irohama are prohibited from teaching classes to hone one's Quirk." Izuku lamented.

"It's just not fair. Irohama Military Academy made me the man I am today. If not for Irohama, I'd probably still be the out of control delinquent that I was two years ago." Katsuki complained.

"And I would probably still be that scared little wimp." Izuku added.

"Cadet Midoriya, is it really that easy for you to consider leaving Irohama? Since you're Quirkless, it would probably be better if you stayed here." Katsuki pointed out.

"That's probably true." Izuku agreed. "You know, it's kinda funny. You'd probably be better off trying out for U.A.'s Hero course, but you're leaning towards staying at Irohama. Meanwhile, I'm probably better off continuing here at Irohama, but I'm leaning towards U.A.. Ironic, isn't it."

"I just feel like no matter what I do, I'll have regrets." Katsuki confessed, grasping at the medal attached to his uniform jacket.

As the top student of his year, Katsuki was recognized as the class rep., and as class rep., he wore a medal on his jacket, similar to a medal awarded to soldiers for achievement in the field. The class reps. from each generation at Irohama each wore a similar medal.

"We should get going, Cadet Bakugo. We don't want to be late for our next class. You know the punishment for tardiness." Izuku reminded.

That was all it took to get Katsuki moving out of the room and to their next lesson.

Okay, this chapter was sort of an intro.

A super long summary if you will.

For the first part of the story, it's gonna be Izuku and Katsuki going through their first two years at Irohama Military Academy, then we're gonna go through their third year at Irohama, then we get to the main story of MHA.

For those of you that think Katsuki and Izuku don't seem like themselves, they went through a lot of emotional growth in less than one year at U.A.. Image what kind of growth can happen from several years of military school.

Granted, most of their growth in U.A. was because of villain fighting, but I think that the strictness of military school should be able to make up the difference. Right?

Anyway, please leave a review.

And I am taking suggestions on this on.

Oh, in case anyone was wondering, Katsuki's new hair style. Yes, it is Bakugo Jeanist hair.
