The prestigious school that turns out many heroes, AU Academy. Enrolled in their hero course, a group of students run toward their dream, stand up to any difficulties, and save people with a smile...in order to become the greatest Hero!

Students of Class 1-A walk down a street to the training area, wearing their Hero costumes for the first time since enrolling in this school.

One of the students named Delaware is the first to speak. "Isn't this the practice city that was used for the entrance exam?" He scans the area.

Another student named Missouri asks, "Where's the teacher?"

"I'm right here!" shouts a booming voice.

All the students look to the sky. Up in front of the sun, a patriotic Hero in red, white, and blue flashes a vigorous smile, taking a moment to impress his students with a heroic pose before gliding down to meet them on the ground.

"Whoa! It's All Murica!" Colorado can't believe his stoned eyes.

"That's right!" He makes his signature salute to freedom. "As the greatest American Hero since Captain America, I'll be your teacher throughout your time as students of AU Academy."

A couple of students awe, "Wow! So cool!"

A student named New Hampshire raises their hand. "Pardon me, All Murica. May I ask what we'll be doing today for today's training?"

"Good question, young student!" He gives him a thumbs up. "Today, everyone will experience a common Hero-Villain situation: an indoor battle."

Utah tilts his head. "An indoor battle?"

"Yes," All Murica says with confidence. "A common site for conflict involves fighting within enclosed walls. Quite often, many Pro Heroes face challenges in an indoor environment. If they're not careful, the consequences are devastating. This is why everyone needs to get familiar with such a situation and learn how to adapt and adjust to succeed in their objective."

"So, how are you going to test us?" California asks without raising her hand.

"Another good question." He smiles. "Everyone will be split up into ten teams of two, half Heroes and half Villains."

"What? Villains?" the beaver mutant named Oregon frowns. "I don't understand. We're training to become Pro Heroes. Why are some of us being assigned Villains?"

"Excellent question, young lady! Well, you see... Villains...are cunning and..." His forehead sweats. 'What's the purpose of assigning some teams as Villains again...?'

"I see." Nebraska nods her head. "I get what you're saying, All Murica."

"Oh?" He raises a brow. "Is that so? Mind telling the class, then?"

"Certainly." She turns around to face her classmates. "Heroes and Villains are a lot alike. Both sides must calculate and predict each other's moves to overcome the other. As future Heroes in the making, we must understand not only how to defeat Villains but also how to think like one. That's what All Murica is trying to teach us. To see whether we can take steps to outsmart our opponent rather than solely rely on strength alone."

Oregon slowly nods her head. "I get it now. If we can succeed as Villains, we'll surely succeed as Heroes, too."

"That's a smart idea coming from All Murica," says Ohio.
