So, remember that Hackmon bit? It's among things I'm writting a chapter of as an idea and I actually did it and since it WAS in this story first. And also cause its still digimon.

In the age of heroes, there was pretty much one goal just about every person had growing up. To be a hero, which was admittedly pretty much impossible for most but a lot of them could probably get a few points for trying.
Unless like they want to be a villain for some reason or just another career path. But the spotlight on the heroes pretty much ensured the vast majority of the citizens of Japan would end up looking up to them as a result. All things considered, it was probably better than not having that considering the spread of quirks, which were essentially superpowers of all kinds, among the populace. Something that up-and-coming heroes were trained at in hero schools, provided they qualified.
This brings us to Kirishima, a black-haired (for the time being) teenager in the middle of preparing himself for such a qualification. He'd been following his own plan to prepare for the entrance exam to UA, the best hero school in the city, but the sudden and recent appearance of a dojo based around training the physical capabilities of a person caught his attention. It felt like a useful step forward, considering how his quirk meant how important being physically strong and able was.
That and how the poster emphasized the "royal knight" training the owners had received really caught his eye in building up a chivalrous spirit of his own to help him stand out... even if they apparently said that's also secret but could do some of their own.
Also, it was apparently on the cheaper end of things and any bargain is a good one right? And one of the other students at his school had talked about this place being pretty kick-ass.
The large inside, a multitude of punching bags (including one that strangely had a hole stabbed in the bottom of it), weights, and fighting mats were all encouraging signs to him.
That it was currently empty besides something asleep on the desk, covered by a red cloak, with a book open in front of them seemed less so. Although it was pretty eye-catching so there was that. Still, he ignored it for waking up and pushing the desk bell to see if anyone was in and to make sure they hadn't just accidentally left the door unlocked.
In hindsight, he should have realized it'd both wake up and startle the thing on the desk.
"I DIDN'T STOP STUDYING!" Said thing shouted in fear as it shot up awake. It was a large dog-sized four-legged draconic lizard with white armored skin, gold eyes, two large triangular ears, a horn on the end of its muzzle, and black claws on all of its limbs. The red cloak even turned out to have goggles sewn into it.
The dragon creature quickly looked around before noticing Kirishima awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck as he gave them an equally awkward wave in greeting. Prompting it to calm down as it glanced back at the room behind the desk, with its ears twitching at some movement it could hear.
"Woah sorry, little... uh." The voice certainly sounded like a guy, one his age at that, at least from what he got from the screaming but given quirks and how they lacked any clear physical traits to signal either way.
"Oh right. Guy, pink girl asked the same thing." He quietly spoke and nodded as he answered Kirishima's question before making a strangely awkward attempt to stretch his legs, like he wasn't entirely used to his limbs, before moving into a sitting position on his hind legs, "So-sorry I thought you were... one of the girls. I think they're just finishing up some stuff but it might take a minute. I- uh. Sorry." He shook his head before mumbling some words under his breath that Kirishima wasn't able to make out himself. "Noir and Ciel are out, Aren't they? Think they are..." His muttering ended with a shake of his head. His voice increased in volume as he faced Kirishima again, "Uh right- uh. I'm watching the desk. Hi! Sorry for falling asleep and uh... Shit."
"Hey don't worry it's all fine man!"
"No, I just realized... how do I work the register?" The draconic boy tilted his head as he glanced down at his front legs, then the register, and finally back again, "Sorry... I think there might be a free first-time session thing? Like if you still want to try anything but you'll have to wait for one of the girls in the back... Fair warning they're... Uhm."
"Pretty?" Kirishima, in an attempt to reassure and calm the small dragon, asked in a bit of light-of-hearted sarcasm.
"...I guess. I was going to say, terrifying... Or intense?" His eyes wandered downward before shooting up at him in alarm again, "Don't tell them I said that though!"
"Don't tell them what?" A young feminine voice called out as a girl with silver hair and eyes entered through the door behind the desk, the latter seemingly having pupils in the shape of a cross. She wore a white almost nun-like dress with gold trimmings and on her head had a bright pink, rabbit-like piece of headwear that trailed all the way down past the skirt part of her dress. Said girl immediately became happy as she skipped up to the desk, beaming at Kirishima, "Hey there! Welcome to the Holy Dragoon! What kind of ass-kicking are you looking to learn?"
Kirishima blinked at the small girl before turning to the other person here still sitting on the desk, who simply nodded expecting the usual question of if she was serious. "Blanc is really good, so are the other two but... uh. Yes."
"Well if you're sure..." Kirishima tilted his head as another thought occurred to him before pointing at the draconic boy, who quirked up a curious brow in response, "So if she's one of the guys in charge..."
"I just live here... And with them... They're friends..." His got quiet enough that nobody but himself could hear them again as he shrugged his shoulders, at least that's what it looked like he was doing, "Well kind of."
"We're his chaperones, Chief saved our lives way back so looking after him is a way of paying him back." Sistermon Blanc added, not hearing the last words spoken by the other digimon, before cracking her knuckles with a bright smile, "Alrighty let's see what we got here."
Kirishima had to quietly admit, paying someone back for saving your life by looking after what sounds like their kid? That sounded pretty manly.

There's probably some explanation worth going through about the whole Hackmon thing I got going here. Well, I woke up that way, and the Sistermon were around along with Gankoomon. Apparently right after that whole reset thing after the eater incident... To the point that any explanation I tried to give in the initial panic didn't exactly work out so well. I think they took it into consideration before they made me just pick up where he took off. Unless it was an intentional part of it? Hard to say, couldn't even come up with much of an argument on it even with the others suggesting some kind of fused mind/soul situation from the reset so I gave up on arguing.
Quite some months ago all that.
Also, I didn't try that hard against his suggestions because Gankoomon is kind of terrifying and I'd rather not argue with him more than I have to. He's not dumb so I assume he knows what he's talking about, or more than he lets on.
And I may have let slip things like Marcus and his 'I'll fist fight anything including mega levels and god.' Those two get along well enough that I'm not even going to stay in the same valley as both of them when they're together if I can help it.
...I may have also offhandedly mentioned some stuff I used to watch a few times and the topic of places that did training came up, which got them curious enough to get Yggdrasil to check if they existed to check them out.
In my defense when I mentioned superhero school, I was actually talking about Sky High and had zero intention or knowledge they'd drag us out here. But we ended up here, at the Sistermon's insistence once they got a look. I think they just wanted to do a dojo thing here, to be frank, those ladies and Gankoomon have a funny idea for what counts as sane training.
Maybe that's why they wanted to come here, the land of 'hey children breaking their bones to become heroes is pretty alright.'
The Sistermon for the record are also terrifying, to varying degrees. Never let Ciel drive, that's all I'm saying about her in that area. Blanc is alright... but she's still punched me hard enough in the face that I didn't have very many teeth for the rest of the night. I'm not dumb enough to mention anything when it comes to Noir.
Still, we haven't actually derailed anything and I'm pretty sure Mina coming here, it's just been a few lessons... Not sure why she came here at all. But whatever, at least with her I could preemptively hide behind the desk. As for now...

I quietly watched the black haired-teenage boy excitedly talk to Sistermon Blanc, nice kid I guess. And I'm not mad at all for him scaring the crap out of me by ringing the bell next to me after I fell asleep studying on the desk just like Noir has taken to doing.
And Noir is kind of a jerk at times.
Look it's not my fault studying is even more boring when you can't even get notes down without major effort due to a lack of hands. And putting a pencil in my mouth just makes it thoroughly illegible. Thankfully the Sistermon weren't aware of which hero school here was the best so I can stay the hell away from the walking disaster zone that is UA by just lying about that.
They might be good enough with computers to forge identities and all of that without issue but they're taking me at my word way too easily. Digimon for the win I guess, and they're not likely to look it up so probably won't notice until it's too late.
...Well they shouldn't notice so long as Mina doesn't recommend this place to anyone else from or going there since I avoided her bringing it up with them around. But I don't think I'm in the clear, more than this guy who just got thrown to the floor, I think. My attention was more on my book at this point but peeking over it showed a new crack in the ground. Tough kid.
Well, I suppose at worst they might change the entrance exam scores but I doubt that really matters in any long-term way.
Whatever his name is... I think they wrote it down on the registry once I stopped paying attention, and I can see that if I peek behind at the desk behind me- Oh god fucking dammit.
"So what's this I hear about UA being the best hero school around? And not Shiketsu like you said?" Blanc suddenly asked looking over my book with a smile on her face and a glare in her eyes, the teenage boy that I now knew was Kirishima was slowly getting back up to his feet with a massive grin on his face. Great, he likes them and he's probably just got me in trouble, wonderful.
"Maybe he just got mixed up?" Kirishima suggested, letting out a groan as he dusted himself up before beaming at Blanc, "That was awesome by the way."
Probably, and I missed it but whatever.
I'd get angry at him but he couldn't have known what I was doing... and honestly, he's rather nice. So I stared at her back for a few seconds, before glancing at the television in the dojo's corner and carefully turned up the volume without saying a word by using one of my hind legs to turn up the news that we had going in the back... ground. Oh god dammit.
Hero Killer Stain, apprehended by concerned civilians! Interview on the scene!
How... how did that happen? I haven't even done- oh... I know that voice.
Said voice was a cheerful somewhat older teenage feminine voice, but not the most mature sounding one I knew so that narrowed it down. And even if it was blurred out could make out the black headwear that I'm pretty certain was one of the other Sistermon. The blur that was behind her with blue headwear also kind of made it clear. "...At which point I told him to back off or to try me bitch, and he did! Unluckily for him, he did decide to try me and I had my pieces!"
"...Your pieces?" The confused interviewer asked.
"Anthony! Both of them. I can pull these bad boys out at any time. So anyway, I started blasting!"
...So much for avoiding making an impact. And I haven't even DONE anything yet. Dammit Noir! And Ciel too you were with her how'd that happen!

Note: Okay to note something I've got a few MHA ideas, this is the one referenced within this fic itself. So might be worth a gag or to think about doing. The other two in it are as follows.
Medabots, with SI as a reactivated one from the past of MHA before quirks derailed tech but I got nothing for that in where to go.
Or as a silly one, I do a spin off to LGaD and have from the digital world arc Strabimon and company there making their own "mystery investigation club" at UA. Would reference YJ but nobody from there in it. Basically making them a walking noodle incident when they talk about stuff here up to something on their own to an outside perspective. And because, well imagine Tokoyami finding out what Ludgermon is despite how he acts, not his kind of darkness embracement that.
This one has fastest canon derail in the west.
Its less a break and more I'm slowing down a lot but I've been meaning to start doing next chapters words here and there but haven't gotten to it.
