Chapter Text
In Class 1-A, there are two main cliques.
The Bakusquad and the Izucrew.
The Bakusquad which is centred around and named after their leader, Bakugou Katsuki, is known to be rather rambunctious, loud and generally very out of control. Basically, peak chaotic teen energy. They do stupid shit like stick fingers in electric sockets, joyride a trolley through the supermarket, try to make a human chandelier using scotch tape and provoke their hot-tempered leader until he blows up because teenage curiosity is a morbid and dangerous thing. They are the chaotic bunch in the class, shenanigans usually resulting in some form of collateral damage because Bakugou has a short and literally explosive temper. Everyone knows that.
The Izucrew is a lot quieter and calmer, probably because its members all prefer and/or are content with silent companionship as opposed to chatter, though make no mistake as gossip is still very much existent. And while that may be true, the Izucrew have some …let’s go with issues, regarding their involvement in illegal and barely legal situations, unintentionally or otherwise. They are friends hanging out, and they do have their wholesome and calm moments; things just kind of happen. And if some of those situations tend to be vaguely (read: extremely) life-threatening and outweigh the wholesome moments… Well, everyone else but them (and Nedzu, Aizawa and Yamada, some of their families, and occasionally the police and the Japan Underground Network, and the Internet) will be none the wiser. For the most part.
Bakusquad is vibing, but the Izucrew is out there doing God’s work because society can’t do it themselves. You don’t put a group of overachieving, natural anarchy-bringers together and not expect something to happen.
After all, the Izucrew’s namesake is a trouble magnet who literally can’t stop breaking all his bones, and has the mind of a supercomputer and absolutely no sense of self-preservation.
Now consider the other members as well: the ‘strait-laced’ class president who has straight-up attempted homicide and double standards; the force of nature with such severe Daddy Issues™ he vents it through excessive pettiness and deadpan sarcasm as well as increasingly wild conspiracy theories; the insomniac with a penchant for cats, dark humour and a hardcore appreciation for pre-quirk musicals and literature; an eccentric genius inventor who should really give Power Loader a break; a BAMF who will yeet people to the next galaxy over with her quirk that defies the very laws of the universe— Even the only relatively sane one has a razor-sharp wit and will not hesitate to whip your butt in under one minute. And don’t forget, since Midoriya ‘Problem Child’ Izuku has “Be friends or die trying, then try again in Hell” and “Everyone deserves to be saved” as his life mantras, they have connections. Like powerful, insane(?), ecstatic-to-watch-the-world-burn connections who are happy to indulge them when they skirt around the law.
Looking at you, Principal Nedzu.
On a side note, Aizawa and Majime really need a break. And a raise.

Hi! I’m Midoriya Izuku! Thanks for taking the time to check this out. This book is a compilation of some of the Izucrew adventures. I still think it’s a bit embarrassing to have my friend group named after me, but I’m also kind of honored? *Awkward laugh* Oh, and just so you know, the stories are interconnected, or at least somewhat loosely connected.
This after-story commentary is also going to be a thing, and it won’t be just me! You’ll hear from the others too! If there’s a specific person you want to hear from, let Author-san know. We’ll see if that person is free to comment.
Okay, one last thing. Caution warning: You’ll get to read some of our more dangerous adventures, but please do NOT try them yourself. What we do is dangerous, borderline illegal and the only reason why we haven’t been arrested yet is because we have provisional licenses and are technically still following the law. Kind of. Furthermore, we are trained for situations like this; you are not. For the public’s safety and your own, please don’t go around pulling the stunts my friends and I did.
And, uh, I think that’s everything I need to say. *mumbles* I hope I didn’t miss anything. *mumbles* Anyway, please enjoy! Our adventures are in your hands.
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!
