AN#1: Wisdom and personal thoughts.
The slow and steady tortoise won the race against quick and nimble hare.
Sorry if I'm a little late.
Up until now, I've been doing a good job of pacing myself to keep my once a week update and even though I'm working on a couple of other things, I'll try to work hard in maintaining my weekly schedule. Don't worry guys and girls; I'll try not to let any of you down too much.
Can I just rant for a second? Who the hell ships Monoma and Kendo? That's worse than putting yourself in a fanfic as an OC and shipping that OC with your fave waifu…gross, and I know that many people are entitled to their opinions, but why, just why? Even Sensei would be disgusted by such a pairing and he's evil…Just ship IronFist alright? You probably know who I'm talking about.
Also, who the fucking hell paired Power Loader and Hatsume? No, I'm not talking bout a father and daughter kind of relationship, some dumbass actually had the nerve to put them together as lovers…keep in mind that Hatsume is 15 and Power Loader is 41! Where is Chris Hanson when you need him? Predator alert! I mean, geez!
AN#2: Reviews.
I'm not too sure about Himiko Toga…but then again, I'm a sucker for the yandere with a crazy-eyed look. No promises…I shouldn't even be going there, once you've gone into crazy, getting back is impossible, I should know, I spent my teen years in many areas around California, I've seen my fair share of real life yandere girls.
Pairing? Still not sure whether I should or should not harem…Ships are not allowed to leave the docks until the dock master gives an ok. Any ship that sets sail without an official clearance will be shot on sight.
Not sure if you you're trolling me about the Star Wars references or do you not know that those references are in the Manga and Anime? They're canon, you know.
Okay, yes, the reason why Izuku can only reach 20% in the manga is because his body is slowly adapting to OFA's power physically, but here, even though Izuku's body is more developed it's because, 1) He hasn't figured out Full Cowl yet, and 2) Izuku has a bit of a mental block, I'll explain more about this later.
Okay, now that we've settled the healing factor dispute/argument, let's move on with more important matters; Vladimir Putin for President! ... Wait, no, that's a different campaign. *looks through folders*, ah, here we are the true important matters; the villains. Since the next chapter will be the USJ attack, I'm just gonna go outright and say that some big changes are gonna happen and I'll be deviating way more from the original storyline than ever. And after that, I'll be taking a hiatus, don't worry it'll only be for about two weeks, like I said, I'm working on other things and I want to get those things done before moving onto the meat of this fic, you've only been given the appetizer, and you'll have to wait for some time before I can present you with the main course. I'll work on the dessert later.
Yeah, Jurota's fight scene, although short, was awesome. I really liked his special move too, 'Roaring Rage' was the perfect name for it as well, if I were to break down this quirk, it's kinda like if Beast and Hulk had a lovechild, the power increase but also losing your mind to your primal instincts. I was also really surprised to see that he can grow to twice his size, like he can just go full were-beast/beast-mode! That was awesome! I also like the way Jurota addresses people, he called Koda and Kaminari as 'Sir' and Shiozaki as 'Lady', which could mean he has a gentlemanlike nature or simply put, he is a very respectful person. It is gonna be a challenge writing his character since I'm trying to get into the mindset of a bad boy while also writing in the mindset of a gentleman.
One more thing. KoseiXTsuyu, that's gonna happen, and I'm not sure if I'm gonna like it. Kosei's 'doki doki' scene was a little bit…odd. But now that I think about it, Tsuyu wrapped her tongue around Kosei's entire body, it even covered his mouth…I wonder if it…oh, now that would be a French kiss under all technicalities.
Let's get on with the story!
"Normal Speech"

"Flashback"
"All Might buff form speech"
PLUS ULTRA!
Midoriya Izuku was a little tired, mostly due to an empty stomach. His healing factor needed copious amounts of fuel in order to function properly, so the fact that Izuku was out of breath was a result of his lack of sustenance.
It was 4:15PM and he was slowly pedaling his bike to the café that Kyouka had told him about. When he got there, Izuku noted that the café looked almost like Magnetron's café at Wookies. He then read the sign which had the café's name. 'La Luna Café and Bistro.' It was printed in cursive as to make it-
"Fancy, fit's Momo's preference to a T." Izuku said as he chained his bike at a nearby bike rack.
Making his way inside, Izuku noted some key differences to Magnetron's café. One was that this café was larger and there were more tables; another was that this café had a second floor, and another was that there were two front-counters and had several people working behind them.
Looking around he saw Kyouka at a table by window waving to him. He walked over a noticed that Ochako wasn't seating at the table, but he also noted one more thing. 'What is HE doing here?'
"Greetings Midoriya-kun!" Iida Tenya said as he stood up.
"H-hey." Izuku said as he looked to Kyouka. "I thought it was just us?"
"Oh yeah, about that. Uraraka invited him over." Kyouka said.
"By the way, where is she?" Izuku asked.
"Restroom." Kyouka replied.
"Oh, Deku. You're here." Ochako said as walked up behind Izuku.
"Deku?" Izuku questioned.
"Yeah, I heard Bakugou call you that at the fitness test." Uraraka said. "It's probably your nickname right?"
"Yeah, but it's more of a name that he uses to make fun of me." Izuku said as he sat down.
"An insult name?" Tenya said.
"Oh, sorry!" Ochako said. "I didn't know."
"It's alright," Izuku said. "I'm used to it anyway; it's kinda like how I call him 'Baka-hatsu'."
"But," Ochako said. "'Deku' kinda sounds like 'Dekiru', so I kinda like it."
'Dekiru, that means 'you can do it', huh? Sounds good.' Izuku thought. "Call me Deku then."
Kyouka then sent Izuku a knowing look to which boy just returned with a shake of his head.
The punk girl wasn't done however; she got on her phone and decided to talk to Izuku via her chat app.
Kyouka: You and I both know the true meaning of that name.
Izuku: Its better if they don't know, I'm not proud of my former life.
K: Other kids, the ones you fought, still know that name.
I: I know, but if they what's good for them, they'll stay away.
K: I'm talking about the gangs, not the punks.
I: I'll keep her safe, I'll be damned if I let anything like that happen again.
Their conversation was ended when a waitress walked up to the table and presented several cake slices and a fresh cup of coffee, probably for Izuku since everyone else had their drinks already.
The teens spent their time just talking and getting to know one another that afternoon, Izuku even found that four-eyes, excuse me, Iida wasn't an ass, he was just really earnest. He had the kind of attitude that would make a good leader.
Along the way, they actually became, somewhat, friends in a way. 'I just hope Katsuki won't mind if we another member to the gang.'
Three weeks before classes started at U.A. we see Midoriya Izuku sitting on the sofa in his apartment, in front of him was a coffee table and there were several papers and letters on it.
Akatani Kojiro, Izuku's uncle and legal guardian, walked by in his way to the kitchen. It was a rare off day for the martial arts trainer, and he was using this day off to look after his nephew. "You sure are busy at this time of day, Izuku-kun, what're you up to?"
"Oh, I need to go to city hall to get my quirk registration for the clothing allowance." Izuku said, but then it suddenly dawned on him about One for All. "But, wait, I'm already registered as 'Healing Factor', gah…what am I gonna do."
"If you're talking about your strength augmentation quirk," Kojiro said. "You can simply re-register and update your status."
"You can do that?" Izuku asked.
"Yes," Kojiro replied. "Everyone is usually examined and registered all at once when they enter elementary and junior high, right? But there are cases where people discover their quirks aren't what they thought they were. So you're allowed to update it once or twice. For example: a person who can send out water from their body can discover that they're actually turning the moisture in the air into water."
Izuku just nodded his head while listening to his uncle's explanation.
"The registration office won't accept outrageous changes though, so if I were you, I'd better come up with a plausible sounding explanation when you tell them that your healing quirk is actually an add-on to a latent strength augmentation quirk that you recently 'discovered'." Kojiro said. "I've known Toshinori-san for quite a while, so please try to keep your 'quirk' on the down low, alright?"
"Will do Uncle Kojiro, and thanks." Izuku said.
"You're welcome. Oh, by the way, I saw those two girls on your Instagram page," Kojiro said in a teasing manner. "You sly devil you; two girls at once, what would your mother say?"
Izuku retaliated this by lunging and aiming a punch at his uncle while sporting a smiling death glare. "Urusei…"
Kojiro, however, caught Izuku's intended punch and threw him back. "Is that all you can do? I thought I trained you better."
That morning, the neighbors who lived next to the Midoriya/Akatani apartment, could only sigh in distress, the uncle and nephew were at it again with their usual sparring matches. But this time, the uncle must've said something to upset the nephew because all they could hear from the boy was a string of curses that could make even the most hardened villain blush.
We now go back to the present date where Midoriya Izuku is sitting backwards on his chair while talking to the beast quirk user who sat behind him.
The students of class 1-A were waiting on their next teacher now that they were in the afternoon period.
"Man, Lunch Rush's cooking is too delicious," Izuku said with a smile. "I couldn't get enough of it."
"That's quite rich coming from you, Midoriya-dono," Jurota said. "You practically devoured 4 bowls of Katsudon in one sitting."
Izuku smiled and laughed sheepishly. "Yeah, that's the thing about my quirk, it requires me to eat a lot of food just to stay fueled. And it's not like you didn't eat 3 servings of Curry rice yourself."
"Hey now, I am a growing beast you know," Jurota said. "I need sustenance as well."
Suddenly a knock was heard on the door which caught the students' attention.
"I am," All Might said as he breezed through the doorway. "Coming through the door like a normal person!"
'What part of that entrance was normal?' Izuku mentally face-palmed, but still, it was just the coolest thing to have the no.1 hero All Might as their teacher. He then turned around in his seat.
The students brightened up and marveled at the sight of the no.1 hero in their classroom.
"It's All Might!" Kaminari said.
"Wow, he really is a teacher!" Kirishima added.
"That's a costume from the Silver Age, isn't it?" Tsuyu said.
All Might then strutted into the classroom.
"Its style is so different; it's giving me goose bumps." Ojiro said.
"I teach Basic Hero Training." All Might said. "It is a subject where you train in different ways to learn the basics of being a hero. You'll be taking the most units in this subject!"
From where he sat, Izuku smiled. 'And this is where I can prove myself even more.'
All Might then struck a pose. "Let's get right into it! This is what we'll do today—Combat Training!"
"Combat." Katsuki said with a wide grin.
"Training." Izuku said with a smirk.
"And to go along with that are these!" All Might said he pointed to the wall which opened out to reveal 20 individual cases marked 1-20. "Costumes made, based on your quirk registrations and requests you sent in before school started. After you change, gather in Ground Beta!"
"Yes, sir!"
"They say that clothes make a man," All Might said as the students of class 1-A walked into the faux city. "But in this case it's the costume that makes the hero, because from now on you are heroes!"
"Deku-kun!" Ochako exclaimed. "You're costume is awesome!"
Midoriya Izuku smiled, his hero costume consisted of a dark green full body jump suit with red stripes running down the sides, he had on black shoulder supporters and black leg bracers, a utility belt that had four pouches, and around his neck was a metallic face/breath guard. He also sported a pair of red, heavy duty, running shoes and a pair of white fingerless boxing gloves.
"Thanks," Izuku said. "My mom helped me design it when I was younger. I just recently made some modifications before sending my final design to a support company."
"It looks cool! Really down to earth." Ochako said as she the rubbed the back of her head in slight embarrassment. "I should've written what I wanted…Mine ended up being a skintight bodysuit. It's embarrassing…"
'The hero course is awesome,' Izuku said as he unintentionally stared. 'NO! Snap out of it, you're no pervert that doesn't belong here.'
Meanwhile in class B, a small kid with purple balls on his head sneezed.
'She looks good though.' Thankfully, the green haired teen wasn't caught staring, mostly because everyone else was admiring the hero costumes of the others.
"W-well, you look good though," Izuku managed to get out. "I like the design, really original."
Ochako already had a pink tint on her face because of her costume, so she was quite lucky for that. But she smiled nonetheless and uttered a light thank you.
Izuku looked around and took note of everyone else's costumes, Jurota's costume, however, was just a pair of pants and a pair of stylized goggles/shades, and around his neck was what looked to be a collar.
For some reason Jurota seemed a little taller, Izuku could've sworn he and the beast quirk user stood at the same height, but looking at him now it felt like he had grown a couple more inches. This caused the greenette to wonder if the beast's sudden growth spurt was part of his quirk.
'Whoa, she's quite daring,' Izuku thought when he saw Momo's costume. 'Is a costume like that when allowed?'
As the students had finally gathered, All Might began his class.
"Alright, it's time to start your battle training."
"Sir!" Tenya said as he raised his hand.
'Wait, is that four-eyes? Huh, his costume actually looks kinda cool.'
"This is a battle center from the entrance exam," Tenya said. "So will we be conducting urban battles again?"
"Not quite, we're going to move ahead two steps!" All Might said holding up two fingers. "Most of the time, when fighting villains, the fights take place outside, but if you look at the total numbers, atrocious villains appear indoors at a higher rate. Imprisonment, house arrest, backroom deals-In this society filled with heroes, truly intelligent villains hide in the shadows! For this class, you'll be split into villains and heroes and fight 2-on-2 indoor battles."
"Without basic training?" Tsuyu asked.
"This is a real battle to understand those basics! However, the key this time is that there's no robot you can just beat up."
The students then barraged All Might with several questions.
"How will wins and losses be determined?"
'Leave it to Yaoyorozu to ask something smart.'
"Can we beat them up anyway?"
'Katsuki, no.'
"Will the punishment be expulsion like with Aizawa-sensei?"
'Don't worry, All Might isn't like that.'
"How shall we be split up?"
'I hope it'll be in pairs.'
"Doesn't this cape look fabulous?"
'What the actual fuck?' Izuku thought, sparing a glance at the 'shining knight' beside him.
"Calm down, I'll get to your questions!" All Might said looking a little excited, or was that distress?
The pro hero then pulled out a small sheet of paper. "Now listen here."
'A script? Don't tell me this is his first time teaching?'
"The situation is that the villains have hidden a nuclear weapon somewhere in their hideout. The heroes are trying to dispose of that. The heroes need to either capture the villains or recover the nuclear weapon in the allotted time of 15 minutes."
All Might then held up a box. "Teams and opponents will determined by drawing lots!"
"They're being decided so haphazardly?" Tenya asked.
"There's nothing wrong with that," Izuku said. "Pros often have to put together make shift teams with heroes from other agencies. This is probably a scenario to mimic just that."
"I see. The discernment to look ahead…" Tenya then bowed. "Please pardon my rudeness!"
'Asking questions isn't being rude, what's with you Iida, I mean seriously?'
"It's fine. Let's do this quickly!"
The following teams were.
Team A: Midoriya Izuku and Uraraka Ochako
Team B: Todoroki Shoto and Shoji Mezo
Team C: Yaoyorozu Momo and Jirou Kyouka
Team D: Bakugou Katsuki and Iida Tenya
Team E: Ashido Mina and Aoyama Yuga
Team F: Sato Rikido and Koda Koji
Team G: Kaminari Denki and Shishida Jurota
Team H: Tokoyami Fumikage and Asui Tsuyu
Team I: Ojiro Mashirao and Hagakure Toru
Team J: Sero Hanta and Kirishima Eijiro
"Wow, it must be fate!" Ochako said. "I'm counting on you! Deku-kun."
Izuku smiled and nodded his head. "Don't worry, I'll make sure we win."
"The first teams to fight will be…" All Might said as he reached into the HERO and VILLAIN boxes. "These guys!" All Might yelled, he pulled out a black and white ball from each box. "Team A will be the heroes, and Team D will be the villains. Everyone else, please head to the monitor room."
"Yes, sir!"
"Oi, Deku!" Katsuki said with glare and smirk. "Prepare to lose."
"I was just about to say the same thing." Izuku said he rammed his forehead on Katsuki's.
As 'bad boy' and 'bad attitude' butted heads again, making her way to the monitor room, Jirou Kyouka could only facepalm at her friends' antics. 'Why can't they just be normal? Then again, they're less boring this way.'
All Might also couldn't help but share a little in the punk girl's embarrassment. 'I really have to work on his behavior more.'
All Might then ushered the villain and hero teams to a nearby building which would serve as the test area.
"All right. Villain team, go in first and set up!" All Might said. "In five minutes, the hero team will break in, and the battle test will start!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Iida-shonen, Bakugou-shonen, learn to think from the perspective of the villains." All Might said as the two made their way into the building. "This is pretty close to a real battle. Go all out and don't be afraid to get hurt."
"Yes, sir!" Tenya said.
"Tell that to the guy with a healing factor." Katsuki said as he pointed Izuku behind him.
"Of course, but things go too far, I will have to stop it for safety reasons." All Might added.
Inside the building, we see Tenya and Katsuki walking up to a huge rocket shaped bomb.
"Even if this is training, it pains me to become a villain." Tenya said.
"Oh shut up," Katsuki said. "What would your precious upperclassmen say if they heard you say that, they probably had to take the same battle training test too, you know?"
Tenya flinched. "You're right, how could I have let such a thought enter my mind. The ones who studied before us must've been tasked to take one villain roles as well; I must follow in their steed if I truly wish to become a hero!"
Katsuki simply developed a tick mark on his forehead, as he rolled his eyes. The sandy blonde walked around the room and thought of something.
Tenya then walked up to the bomb. "So our job is to protect this?" He then knocked on the so called 'Nuclear Device'. "Oh, it's actually hollow on the inside."
"Hey," Katsuki said. "Listen here, I've got a plan."
Meanwhile, outside of the building we see Izuku and Ochako making out like crazy—wait what? NO! That's not supposed to happen yet! Sorry about that, hehehe, I'm getting ahead of myself. *EHEM!* Continue reading…
The greenette and brunette and were currently discussing their plans for marriage…
Izuku turns and glares at the author* "WILL YOU FOCUS ON THE DAMN STORY!?"
Author shakes head repeatedly* Give me a moment, I think I need a cold shower…
A few minutes later. Alright, forgetting all that.
We see Izuku and Ochako discussing their plan on how to retrieve the bomb or otherwise capture the villains.
"You think that will work?" Ochako asked.
"60-70 percent I say," Izuku replied. "Katsuki knows my fighting style all too well, so if we're lucky he's gonna come down and face me head on. I can distract him, but you're gonna have to retrieve that bomb."
"I'll do it," Ochako said. "Iida-kun is my only worry, he's too fast."
"Don't worry, as long as we stick to the plan," Izuku said as he put on his face guard. "What could go wrong?"
"I say nothing. We're a team, aren't we?" Ochako said with ever so bubbly attitude. "Let's do our best."
Underneath his mask, Izuku smiled.
"Now, let's start the indoor person-to-person combat training with Team A and Team D!" The voice of All Might could be heard through a speaker system.
Meanwhile in the monitor room.
"Okay, everyone, you should think as well."
'Midoriya-shonen, here, you are no more than a single student.' All Might thought as he placed an ear piece in his auditory cavity. 'I'll have to grade you strictly, without playing favorites.'
At the test area building, we see Izuku and Ochako sneaking in through an open window.
"We've infiltrated successfully!" Ochako whispered.
"There are a lot of blind spots here, so let's be careful." Izuku replied.
The pair then spent some time sneaking around the building's 2nd floor area while looking around and keeping check on their surroundings.
'Shouldn't be using too much power in here, Katsuki can take one my normal punches, but at 20%, I could seriously hurt him. There's also Iida and Uraraka here too, I can't be too reckless otherwise they could get hurt, never mind the fact that I can heal them anyway. I'll just try to focus on 5% or maybe even lower.'
Continuing their sneak approach, Izuku also thought about several strategies just in case Katsuki figures out part of their plans.
He had at least 13 notebooks of carefully detailed quirks and applications, Izuku's ability to analyze situations could prove to be more handy than ever right here.
While pondering on his thoughts, Izuku was suddenly alerted to the sound of clothes ruffling from what sounded like a jump.
Then he saw Katsuki leap from behind a corner of the building.
"Die!" Katsuki yelled as he extended his right arm, the sandy blonde then fired off an explosion that blew up as soon as it made contact with the wall.
Izuku acted quickly, he grabbed Ochako and jumped back, he quickly let go of the girl and turned to face her. "You alright?"
Ochako nodded and stood up.
Katsuki waved away the dust cloud caused by his explosion. "Come on Deku, don't dodge."
With a smirk, Izuku turned to face his friend. "I figured you'd come after me first." He looked to Ochako and gave her a look. The girl nodded and ran off.
Katsuki saw this. "So it's just you and me now huh?"
Izuku cracked his knuckles. "Yup, looks like it's you and me now."
Meanwhile in the monitor room.
"A surprise attack from the start?" Jurota said in surprise.
"Bakugou, that's cheating!" Kirishima said pounded his fist into his palm. "A surprise attack isn't manly at all!"
"A surprise attack is a strategy, too." All Might said. "They're in the middle of a real battle right now."
"Midori-kun dodged it!" Mina exclaimed.
"There goes Bakugou!" Kaminari said. "He's just gonna rush into it?"
Back the test area.
"I won't do so much damage that this fight get stopped, but I'm gonna get close!" Katsuki yelled as lunged at Izuku.
Izuku however dodged and grabbed Katsuki right arm. "Too easy." Izuku said as he then body-slammed Katsuki into the ground. "You always start with a right swing."
As Katsuki hit the ground he grit his teeth in pain but smirked. "I figured you would do that." Katsuki then air his left arm at Izuku and fired off a relatively small explosion which kicked up a small dust cloud.
"Oh shit!" Izuku yelled, barely getting enough time to jump back.
When the dust settled, Izuku was still standing, okay but was smoldering a little. "I'm getting slow, I forgot to take that into account."
In the monitor room.
"Whoa! That was awesome!" Kaminari said.
"Midoriya was able to get an upper hand on Bakugou." Tokoyami said.
"But Bakugou-chan also got in a good hit as well." Tsuyu added.
"Yes, the ability to discern your opponent's attacks and then turning the situation around."
Back in the test area building.
"So that's your plan huh?" Katsuki said. "Send the gravity girl to try and get the bomb? Not gonna work."
"Yeah, I figured out your plan as well." Izuku said.
"Tch, nothing get's by you, damn nerd!" Katsuki said. "It's one thing to keep you down here; it's another thing to count on four-eyes to make sure gravity-girl doesn't get the bomb."
Izuku smirked. "Well, I'll just have to beat down your ass so I can get it myself."
"Let's see you try." Katsuki said as he launched himself forward with an explosion. He then aimed a punch at Izuku's upper body with his left hand.
Izuku saw and blocked this, but Katsuki retaliated with a swing from his right. The two teens then proceeded to exchange hit after hit by blocking, dodging, and parrying each blow with their own distinct martial arts style.
In the monitor room.
The students were awed by the display of Izuku and Katsuki's fighting skills. Even though they knew that both teens had tied for 3rd place in the fitness test, watching them fight and display such an amazing skill set still left them with jaws wide open.
"Man," Sato said. "Am I glad these two weren't put together as team, if they were, they'd practically be unstoppable."
"No kidding," Ojiro added. "They possess the most destructive quirks among all of us."
"Yeah, that paired up with their fighting skills," Sero said. "These two could likely give even a pro hero a run for their money."
Test area building.
With Tenya, we see the armored teen guarding the bomb as per instructed by his team mate. But as soon he heard a couple explosions down stairs, he immediately contacted the sandy blonde through his ear piece.
"Hey, Bakugou-kun! What's happening down there, give me your status!"
"Just shut up and defend, Deku's partner is coming your way, stick to the plan damnit! I'm really having a blast right now!" Katsuki yelled as he shut off the earpiece.
"He hung up…" Tenya said. "Alright, stick to the plan. No doubt that Midoriya-kun possess skills that only Bakugou-kun can fend off, but still, I feel so useless doing nothing here."
Monitor room.
"What was Bakugou saying?" Kirishima asked. "Can't really tell with just the camera in a fixed position with no sound."
"He's talking to his partner over a small wireless radio." All Might explained. "You can bring that plus the building's floor plan, and this capture tape! Once you wrap this around your opponent, it shows that you've captured them."
"The time limit is 15 minutes," Mina said. "And the heroes don't know where the bomb is located, right?"
"Yes!"
"The heroes are clearly at a disadvantage here!" Mina added.
"Heroes should be able to turn the tables on whatever predicament they're in." All Might said. "Besides, didn't Aizawa-sensei tell you, too? You know—here we go."
"PLUS ULTRA!" All Might yelled in chorus with the students.
But then.
"Monsieur, Bakugou is-" Aoyama said pointing to the monitor.
All Might turn to see what it was.
Test area building.
Katsuki was now using his legs in tandem with his explosions to deliver hard kicks left and right. Izuku stopped blocking and tried to dodge, this caused the sandy blonde to gain a bit of an advantage for a while.
Izuku took a few hits but was relatively okay enough to continue dodging.
In tandem with his explosions, Katsuki was flying all over the place from the floor to the ceiling and from wall to wall, with those movements he also delivered and got a few good hits onto Izuku, who was blocking instead of dodging.
Izuku managed to figure out Katsuki's attack pattern and his jumping though, he reached out his right hand and grabbed onto Katsuki's left bicep, he pulled the sandy blonde in and shouldered him in the gut. Had that been a normal person, they'd have been knocked out or would have at least puked their guts out.
But Katsuki was a tough one, he took the blow easily but managed to stay on his feet without staggering even once.
Izuku rubbed his shoulder. "Man, that vest is thicker than it looks."
"Custom made polymer and carbon fiber cloth, similar to Kevlar and Teflon," Katsuki replied. "Costumes would be stupid without functionality, right?"
"Oh, great, you just had to take my advice," Izuku said he thought back to how he explained to Katsuki about costume functionality in his hero journals. "Me and my big mouth."
"So," Katsuki said. "Should we stop playing around?"
"Why not?" Izuku replied. "Feeling each other out is boring anyway."
Monitor room.
"Don't you think you should stop this All Might?" Kaminari asked.
"Yeah, Bakugou and Midoriya are going too overboard!" Kirishima added.
"It's fine for now." All Might replied which put a bit of confusion in the students.
"But why?" Hagakure asked. "Midoriya could get seriously injured with those explosions!"
"Midoriya-shonen has a healing factor," All Might said. "Which is why Bakugou-shonen is going this far, he knows he can fight like this without worrying about Midoriya-shonen's safety."
The worried students blew a sigh of relief.
'Besides, I don't think I should even tell them that those two aren't even fighting seriously.'
"But still," Sero said. "Bakugou looks like a wild animal when fighting."
Test area Building.
With Tenya, we see the boy with his arms crossed, the boy could hear and feel the explosions downstairs.
"Bakugou-kun is really getting into it," Tenya said. "I'm little jealous of his determination though. If that's the case with him, then I must also devote myself to being a villain. That's right. This is another trial to turn me into a man who will not bring shame to the Iida family."
Meanwhile Ochako was hiding one of the pillars in the same room, she was a little cautious because Tenya was a very capable person. But then…
"Become a villain. Be dyed with evil in order to become a hero!" Tenya said. "I am…extremely evil! Bwa-ha-ha-ha."
Ochako wasn't able to control herself as she let out a snort while trying to hold back her laughter. 'He's taking this so seriously!'
Tenya noticed this and turned to face the girl. "Have you arrived, Uraraka-kun?"
Ochako jumped back in surprise, but eventually stepped out from behind the pillar.
"I knew that Midoriya-kun would send you up here by yourself the instant you encountered Bakugou-kun." Tenya said pointing to the girl in overdramatic way. "Your quirk allows you to make the objects you touch float. That's why, before you arrived, I put away all the things on this floor. Now you won't be able to play your little tricks! You have blundered, hero!" Tenya then broke out into maniacal laughter.
"He's starting to look like a villain." Ochako said.
Meanwhile, a couple floors below.
Izuku and Katsuki shivered, which ceased their fight for a second.
"What the fuck was that?" Katsuki said.
"That felt like someone's taking things way too seriously." Izuku replied.
The two teens shrugged it off before lunging at one another again.
While they fought, Ochako spoke into Izuku's earpiece. "Deku-kun. I'm in the middle of the fifth floor, but Iida-kun found me, how's it going down there?"
"I'm not in position yet Uraraka, try to hold on a little longer." Izuku said as he gained some distance between him and Katsuki.
"Okay. I'll keep Iida distracted for a few seconds." Ochako replied.
While the teens were distanced, the grenade shaped gauntlet on Katsuki's right hand glowed red.
"Good," Katsuki said with a smirk. "It's loaded."
"Wait, don't tell me that thing isn't just for aesthetics?" Izuku asked.
"No," Katsuki said in dangerously quiet tone. "You already know that I secrete a nitroglycerin-like sweat from the sweat glands on the palm of my hand and make it explode."
Katsuki then pulled back the grenade safety spoon which revealed a pin. "If the support company made this thing the way I asked, then these gauntlets will store my excess sweat inside then, and…"
"Isn't that going a little too overboard? All Might could stop the fight you know." Izuku asked as put his arms up in defense.
"I hope he won't, I just wanted to test this thing out on you since you can heal right?" Katsuki said a crazy grin on his face.
"If that's the case, then bring it." Izuku said with a wicked grin.
Monitor room.
'Don't tell me that…'
"All Might-sensei!" Jurota yelled as he too noticed the gauntlets. "Bakugou-dono is going way too overboard now! There's no way Midoriya-dono's healing factor can survive that!"
"Bakugou-shonen, wait!" All Might yelled.
Test area building.
But it was too late, Katsuki had already pulled the pin. "He'll be alright! Not even this can kill him!"
Izuku smirked under his face guard as he was caught directly in the middle in the explosion.
The blast was so powerful that the tremor it caused was felt even in the monitor room.
"This is supposed to be a class! What the heck is Bakugou doing?!" Kirishima yelled.
"Shonen! Midoriya-shonen!" All Might yelled.
Back at the test area, a huge dust cloud enveloped the area. But as soon as the dust settled, we see Izuku still standing, his hands were together, and his body was smoldering.
Katsuki saw this and clicked his tongue. "I thought you were gonna take it."
"Improvised Special Move: Shockwave Clap." Izuku said. "Man, I'd be toast if I didn't have this strength augmenting quirk. That and this fireproof jumpsuit."
Upstairs on the fifth floor.
"Bakugou-kun, answer me!" Tenya yelled into his earpiece. "Did you do that? What in the world did you do? Explain yourself!"
'This is my chance!' Ochako thought as ran in the direction of the bomb. 'If I retrieve the weapon, we can win. I'll just have to switch to Deku-kun's plan B for now.'
Tenya noticed this however and ran as well to block the girl. "I won't let you, hero!"
Ochako then touched the tips of her fingers together, as soon as gained weightlessness, she leaped into the air. 'I just need to touch the weapon itself for it to count as being retrieved.'
"Can she can make herself float now, too?!" Tenya asked
In one swift motion, Tenya activated his engines and grab the weapon before Ochako could even land on it. She fell and flipped a few times before landing hand on the floor and stopping at a nearby wall.
"Your quirk is not a threat if you cannot touch anything." Tenya said. "I'll hold out until time runs out!" He then laughed maniacally.
'He's too serious about this,' Ochako thought. 'But still, looks like I'll have to wait on Deku-kun if we really want to win. What's taking him so long?'
Monitor Room.
"Sensei! You should stop them!" Kirishima said. "That Bakugou's really crazy! He's gonna kill him, regardless of Midoriya's healing factor."
"Bakugou-shonen, be glad Midoriya-shonen is alright. But the next time you use that, I'll the fight and your team will lose." All Might said. "To attack on such a large scale inside is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting. That is a foolish plan for both the heroes and the villains! You will lose points for it!"
Test area building.
"Yeah, yeah," Katsuki said with a grin. "I just wanted to test this thing out anyway. Man, this gauntlet really packs a punch, I'm pissed that you blocked it though."
Izuku looked around. 'I think I'm in a good spot, I just need to bring Kacchan here.' "Okay, I think we should end this."
"Yeah, we should," Katsuki then lunged at Izuku by way of an explosion from his hands. "You first!"
'Sucker.' Izuku thought as he blocked Katsuki's attack.
Monitor room.
"Wait," Jurota said. "Now that I think about it, from their positions, Uraraka-dono is right above where Midoriya-dono is."
"What about it?" Kaminari asked.
"Midoriya-dono seems to be lining himself up to his partner location."
"You're right, I wonder they're planning?"
Test area building.
As Katsuki came in close, Izuku tightened his fist. 'Sorry Kacchan. Time to stop playing around.'
Izuku blocked three of Katsuki's punches but took a round house kick to his left side.
Once he was close enough, Izuku focused 5% on OFA in his right hand and punched Katsuki in the gut. The sandy blonde doubled over in pain, but because of his polymer vest, Katsuki was able to stay standing.
Izuku then called Ochako over his earpiece. "Go to the pillar by the windows and wait for it!"
"Gotcha," Ochako replied. "Over and out."
"Not so fast!" Katsuki growled as he grabbed Izuku's right arm. Using several small explosions Katsuki, in a couple of swift motions, flipped Izuku around, grabbed him by the left arm from behind and slammed Izuku into the ground.
"1 minute and 40 seconds remaining!" All Might announced from the speakers.
'Like I thought, not enough time, looks like I'll really have to do it.' Izuku thought as he focused 10% of OFA into his hands. He propelled himself up and rammed his body head first into Katsuki again, head butting the blonde, but this time with more force. Katsuki growled back a cough as he doubled over in pain.
Izuku got to his feet and caught Katsuki with his left arm, he then managed to wrapped a long string of capture tape around Katsuki's torso. "Uraraka, now!" Izuku yelled.
Upstairs, Ochako grabbed onto the pillar that Izuku had told her earlier.
"Deku, teme…" Katsuki strained.
"Sorry." Izuku said as he focused all 100% of OFA in his right arm and aimed it at the ceiling. "SMASH!"
A shockwave then erupted out of Izuku's arm and blasted through the ceiling of the second floor, but the force was so strong that it made its way through the whole building.
Upstairs, Iida held onto the weapon as the shockwave blew through the floor, he then saw Ochako picking up the pillar she had been holding onto like a bat.
"Sorry, Iida-kun! Improvised Special Move: Comet Home Run!" Ochako yelled as she swung the pillar to bat the debris, the rocks then flew like projectiles over to his side of the room which caused Tenya cover himself.
"You call that a home run?!" Tenya yelled
While the teen was distracted, Ochako jumped using her quirk to float over to the weapon. "Release!" Ochako said as she landed on the weapon. "Retrieved!"
"NO…! The weapon…!" Tenya yelled which echoed all the way down to the second floor.
"Damnit," Katsuki said as looking up clutching his stomach in pain. "That's what you were planning from the start?"
"No," Izuku replied looking up as well. "We were running out of time, this was a backup plan."
In the monitor room, All Might was smirking, but no one could tell since he was always smiling.
The students were awed by the shockwave that tore through the building.
"Hero team, WINS!" All Might announced through the speakers.
The sandy blonde grabbed Izuku's shoulder as he fell to the ground, dragging greenette down with him. "You are a certifiable dumbass."
Izuku just grinned as he touched Katsuki's shoulder with his good hand, a faint green light started to glow from Izuku's fingers. "Nah, we both are. Hahaha." Izuku's other hand was already healing, it slowly turned from an ugly shade of discolored purple flesh to a healthy shade of pink flesh.
"Tch." Katsuki scoffed with a smile.
Back in the monitor room.
"Why are they smiling?" Kirishima asked. "Midoriya won, but is why Bakugou smiling like that."
"They had a good fight I guess." Kyouka said. "I've known those two for a while, they like to test their fighting skills on one another. You could probably call this a victory for them both."
"A battle of the heart between two rivals then." Tokoyami said in a sagely tone.
Back in the test area, Tenya was packing over the sight of Ochako rejecting the contents of her stomach again.
(Later, when the two teams were gathered in the monitor room.)
Izuku, Ochako, Katsuki, and Tenya were standing in line. Izuku was holding Ochako's hand, this was to help soothe her stomach pain.
"The hero team won," All Might said. "Well, even if I say that, the MVP for this battle was Iida-shonen!"
The teen in question gasped in surprise.
"It's not the winners, Ochako or Midoriya?" Tsuyu asked.
"Hmm, well…Why is that? Does anyone know?" All Might yelled as he raised his arm.
"Yes, All Might-sensei." Momo said raising her hand. "That is because Iida-san adapted the most to the context of the training."
"Correct." All Might said.
"From the watching the match," Momo continued. "It appeared that Bakugou-san, even though he and Iida-san orchestrated a plan, acted on his own because of his rivalry with Midoriya-san."
Izuku and Katsuki looked at each other.
"Was it that obvious?" Katsuki whispered.
Izuku just shrugged.
"And as All Might-sensei said earlier," Momo continued. "It is foolish to launch a large scale attack indoors. In the same way, taking into consideration the damage he caused, Midoriya-san's plan was also rash as it could've caused injuries outside of the building with debris and rocks flying everywhere. As for Uraraka-san, she let her guard down mid-battle, and her final attack was too reckless. If she treated the hollow faux bomb as a real weapon, she would not have been able to do something so dangerous. Iida-san had prepared for his opponent's arrival and assumed it would be a fight over the weapon, which made him late in responding to the final attack."
When he heard this, Tenya could help but smile as he felt in immense sense of pride in being praised.
Momo wasn't done yet, however. "The hero team only won because they took advantage of the fact that this was training. They were practically breaking the rules."
Katsuki and Izuku shared another look.
"And I thought your analysis skills were over the top." Katsuki whispered.
Izuku just kept a passive looking face.
'Sh-she said more than I expected.' All Might thought as he shook, not knowing how to respond to this. "W-well, Iida-shonen could be more relaxed, but well, that was correct!"
"We should always start with the basics to develop depth of learning. Otherwise, we cannot become top heroes."
"All right everyone, let's change location and start the second match. Tackle this training after thinking about what we just talked about." All Might said as he drew the next set of Hero and Villain teams.
"Yes, sir!"
The battles went on with the next Hero team being team B and the Villain team being team I.
Staring at the pure display of power that Todoroki used to win the match, Izuku and Katsuki glowered at the screen. "That guy's gonna be quite the challenge for us, don't ya think?" Izuku asked.
"Yeah, he'll put up one heck of a fight that's for sure." Katsuki replied.
Meanwhile, Momo was blushing up a storm no one saw this since the room was darkened, in her mind she was chastising herself for saying such things against Izuku. It couldn't be helped, she was just giving her honest opinion about the match, and she hoped Izuku would be mad at her.
As the afternoon progressed Izuku kept taking mental notes of his classmates and their quirks, he noted that Momo and Kyouka worked quite well together by barricading the entrance with steel beams.
Izuku also noted that Jurota was like a tank, but he needed a driver since his beast quirk would make him give in to his more primal side.
Later, once the battles were all done.
"Good work everyone!" All Might said as he and students gathered in front of the exit. "We're lucky that there weren't any major injuries, even though you all took this so seriously! You did a really good job for your first training class!"
"To have such a proper class after Aizawa-sensei-s class, it's kind of anti-climactic." Tsuyu said with her classmates all nodding in agreement, even Katsuki was bobbing his head up and down.
"We're free to have proper classes, as well!" All Might said. "Well then, I must review the results with the other teachers to decide your grades. Change and return…to the classroom!" All Might yelled as he broke into a sprint through the exit.
Izuku sweat dropped. 'I guess he's about to hit his time limit.'
"All Might's amazing!" Kaminari exclaimed.
"Why was he in such a hurry though?" Ojiro asked.
They then exited the training area and made their way back to the classroom.
Throughout the day, Izuku got more acquainted with his fellow classmates, they were really impressed by his and Katsuki's martial arts skill and fighting prowess. Despite being admonished by Momo a little, Izuku felt in good spirits as he and Katsuki made a couple of friends that day.
As the classed ended, Izuku was again bombarded by questions regarding his quirk and fighting skills. The group that surrounded his and Katsuki's desk were making quite a ruckus.
"You guys are too loud." Tokoyami said.
"Tokoyami-kun!" Tenya said as he made his over to the bird headed teen. "That desk is not a chair. Get off immediately."
"It's not that big a deal, is it?" Kyouka asked.
Tenya flinched.
"What's with those hand gestures, anyway?" Ojiro added.
"You people," Tenya said. "I cannot condone actions that disrespect the desks the great men and women who are our upperclassmen once used!"
"Now you're too loud." Tokoyami said.
"That guy never wavers, does he?" Izuku said with a sweat drop.
The next day.
The media, having heard of All Might being a teacher at U.A. were gathered in droves in front of the prestigious school hoping to get anything they could.
Izuku just rolled his eyes as he walked up the gates, but he was suddenly stopped by a reported. "You there, please tell us, how are All Might's classes?"
Izuku inwardly smirked. "Hell do I know, I'm from the Business course."
The report and the other media team backed away from Izuku like he was a plague.
Making his way inside the school, Izuku laughed a little to himself.
"Good work on yesterday's combat training." Aizawa said to his students. "I saw the videos and results. But I'm far from impressed. Bakugou and Midoriya, I'm talking to you two."
The greenette and the sandy blonde straightened up at their names being singled out.
"In terms of power, your quirks are the most destructive," Aizawa stated. "I want you two to exercise more control, you're equally talented in the use of your quirks, but please, do us a favor and learn to control yourselves next time, understood?"
The two teens just nodded their heads and replied a "Yes, sir."
"Now let's get down to homeroom business. Sorry about the late notice, but today," Aizawa said. "I'll have you decide on a class representative."
This announcement was then met with each student wanting to do the job. In a normal class, students might feel like they're just taking on daily duties. But here in the Hero course, it's a role that allows one to practice being a top hero by leading a group.
From his seat, Izuku was looking around. He didn't particularly want to be a class rep, all he wanted to be was a hero. He felt like duties like this would be nothing more than a waste of time for him. And besides, who'd vote the resident bad boy as class representative? But who know, it might be fun to boss the others around.
"Silence, please!" Tenya yelled which cause the student to suddenly go quiet. "It is a job with the serious responsibility of leading others. It is not a job for just anyone who wants to do it. It is a calling that requires the trust of those around you. If we want to use democracy to decide on a true, then we should hold an election to choose one."
"Your hand is raised the highest!" Izuku yelled accompanied by his classmates.
"Why did you suggest that?" Denki asked.
"We haven't known each other for that long," Tsuyu said. "So, how can we have trust or anything?"
"If that's the case, and everyone votes for themselves…" Kirishima added.
"Don't you think that is precisely why whoever receives multiple votes here can be truly considered the most suitable person?" Tenya explained as he turned for Aizawa, who zipped himself in his sleeping bag.
"I don't care, as long as you decide before homeroom is over." The caterpillar said he fell to the ground in slumber.
"Thank you very much!" Tenya replied.
Izuku looked at Katsuki who looked back, they then shook their heads. They both knew Tenya was a capable student, but he was way too diligent on everything, if his hand movements were anything to go by.
Later, after the votes were tallied and names were written down.
'What the, how?' Izuku thought as he stared at the blackboard, underneath his name was Momo's with 2 votes.
"NO WAY!" Katsuki yelled as he turned to face his green haired friend/rival. "Deku! How the hell did you get 4 votes!? Who voted for him!?"
"Well, it's better than voting for you." Sero said.
"We'd rather not have a class rep with a shitty attitude." Kyouka said with a smirk.
"HUH?!" Katsuki growled as he pointed to Izuku. "That doesn't make sense; he's just about the same bad attitude as I am!"
Izuku smirked and put on his best kind expression, out of nowhere a halo and a heavenly light suddenly appeared over his head. "Kacchan," He said a soothingly sweet voice. "This just proves that even though I'm a bad boy, I still have my good points."
"Teme!" Katsuki growled as he sprouted devil horns and a pointed tail, this was followed by a demonic aura surrounding the blonde.
Ochako, meanwhile, just stared off to the side while whistling a soft tune.
Tenya just sat in his seat upset that no one voted for him and his name wasn't written on the board. "Zero votes…I knew that would happen…That is only to be expected of a person's calling."
"You voted for someone else, huh?" Momo said.
"But you wanted to do it, too." Sato said. "What are you trying to do, Iida?"
Todoroki just closed his eyes.
After all that, Izuku and Momo were called to stand in front of the classroom.
"Then, the class rep is Midoriya, and deputy class rep will be Yaoyorozu." Aizawa said.
Izuku let out a sigh. "Well," Izuku said as the halo suddenly appeared above his head again. "Thanks for voting for me guys, I'll be sure to live up to the position you put me in."
"I shall also do the same." Momo said.
"This might not be so bad." Tsuyu said.
"After all's said and done, Midoriya can be pretty fired up, anyway." Kirishima said. "And Yaoyorozu was cool when we were going over the battle results!"
Later at the 'Lunch Rush' Cafeteria.
"Wow! There's a lot of people here today too!" Ochako marveled as she looked around the cafeteria.
"That's because everyone in the hero course, support course, and business course meets in the same place."
"This rice is so delicious!" Ochako said.
"You can say that again." Izuku said as he polished off his 2nd bowl of Katsudon.
"Midoriya-kun," Tenya said. "You're eating quite a lot again."
Izuku then let out a sigh. "Even though you guys chose me a class rep, I don't know if I'm qualified for it."
"You are." Ochako replied.
"It'll be fine." Tenya said. "Your courage and judgment at critical moments make you worth following. That's why I voted for you."
"But didn't you want to be class rep, too, Iida-kun?" Ochako said. "I mean, you've got glasses and everything."
'This girl just talks without thinking…'
"I kinda figured that out when I didn't your name on the board," Izuku said. "You too Uraraka."
The brunette smiled sheepishly at this.
"Wanting to do it and being suitable for it are different issues." Tenya replied. "I merely did what I judged to be correct."
"Merely?" Izuku and Ochako questioned.
"You don't usually use that word…" Izuku said.
"Oh, that's…"
"I've been thinking…" Ochako said. "You're a rich kid, aren't you Iida-kun?"
Tenya flinched. "I tried to change the way I talk because I didn't want to be called that."
Izuku and Ochako stared, the girl did it out of curiosity while our bad boy did it out of his teasing nature.
Tenya sighed, he then explained about how his family had been a hero family for generations and that he was the second son to a pro hero father. He then went on to describing his relationship with the Turbo Hero: Ingenium, Tenya proudly said that he was Ingenium's younger brother.
This caused Izuku to smile in awe for once, he even describe the hero's agency, number of sidekicks, and how the hero was admired and really popular.
While they spoke and told each other about their goal for the future, an alarm suddenly blared throughout the school.
"THERE HAS BEEN A LEVEL 3 SECURITY BREACH." An automated computer voice announced through the alarm. "ALL STUDENTS PLEASE EVACUATE OUTDOORS PROMPTLY."
"Hey," Izuku said, grabbing the attention of the student sitting next to Tenya. "What's a 'Level 3 security'?"
"It means someone is trespassing on school grounds!" The student replied.
"An intruder?" Tenya exclaimed.
"I've never seen anything like this happen in the three years that I've been here, you guys should hurry too." The student said as he rushed out of his seat.
Due to the alarm, Izuku, Tenya, and Ochako were caught up in a stampede of panicked students.
"Ow, I'm being squeezed here." Ochako said. "What's going on all of a sudden?"
"Hold on," Izuku said as he pulled the girl close and held her safe in his arms. "Iida, get to windows, try to see what's going on outside!"
The bespectacled teen nodded his head and did as he was told.
"It's the press," Tenya said as he slowly shuffled his way back to his friends. "They broke through the U.A. barrier."
"Argh!" Izuku growled. "What's wrong with them?!"
Izuku looked around and tried to think of something. He then saw the exit sign. Izuku looked to Tenya. "Iida, I've got an idea," Izuku said as he motioned to the exit. "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
Iida nodded.
"Uraraka," Izuku said. "Make Iida float."
The girl reached her hand and did as was told.
As soon as Tenya was airborne, he lifted up his pant legs and used his engines to propel him toward the exit sign.
"EVERYONE, EVERYTHING'S FINE!" Tenya yelled which caught the students' attention. "It's just the media! There's nothing to panic about. Everything's fine! This is U.A. Let us act in a way befitting the best of the best."
This managed to calm everyone down.
Izuku let out a sigh of relief as he let go of Ochako. "Glad that mess was settled out."
Ochako however was blushing a little. 'That's the second time he held me like that, it felt really nice though.'
"Hey, the police are here!" One student said.
For the rest of the day, classes resumed as normal. In class, they were deciding on the other class officers.
Later that afternoon.
Izuku was being dragged against his will by the three girls to Wookies again. Not that he didn't mind, he really enjoyed hanging out with the Ochako, Kyouka, and Momo. But to Izuku, It looked a little awkward just being the only guy in a group. He didn't know what to do or say at times because the girls were being, well, girly. Katsuki wasn't able to join him because of a little brown haired girl by the name of Bakugou Hanabi, Katsuki's younger sister. (FYI, this is mostly the reason why Katsuki isn't such a dick in this story.)
"Suck it up mopey," Kyouka said. "We needed a chaperone remember?"
"Why couldn't Baka-hatsu just bring Hanabi along with him, then we'd all be having fun." Izuku said.
"He can't remember, you do know what Mitsuki-san would do to Bakugou if that guy ever took Hanabi outside without asking, right?" Kyouka said.
Izuku shivered at this, he knew, Bakugou Mitsuki was a scary woman at times, especially when it concerned her precious little girl.
"Okay, let's just not talk about that. I should've called Iida when I had the chance."
At least Jirou was there with him. Izuku knew her long enough that he was very comfortable around the dark purple haired girl. But recently, she was avoiding him a little and clinging onto Momo even more than she usually did. Well, all things they were girls, they tended to bond more than they did with their guy friends.
'Do I really have friends anymore?' Izuku thought as adjusted the Present Mic themed headset around his neck.
"Deku-kun?" Ochako said noticing her friend's mood. "Are you alright?"
Izuku nodded. "Yeah, I'm good, I just feel left out as the only guy here."
Ochako smiled. "Cheer up, at least you're not alone right?"
The greenette shrugged. "Being alone isn't that bad, but, yeah."
Izuku then thought back to his other friend; Sho.
When the quartet got to the café, they were surprised to see that there weren't that many people today. Only about three tables were occupied with two people per table.
"Hey, that's odd, business is never this slow on a weekend." Izuku said walking up to the counter.
"You get used to it Midoriya-kun," Magnetron said from behind the counter. "Some days are just not your best, you know what I'm saying?"
Izuku smiled. Yeah, for him, training and improving himself as a hero student was quite the challenge. Even with a healing factor. There were days where he felt like he couldn't do any more, but those were days when he'd be training his stamina's endurance.
As they placed and received their orders the teens then went over to their favorite table by the window.
As they sat, Kyouka noticed that Izuku was a little somber. The punk girl sighed internally, she felt little guilty for ignoring her friend, so she decided to actually speak to him. "Why the long face nerd?" She asked in her usually blunt tone.
"Oh it's nothing," Izuku replied as he took a sip of his coffee. "I was just thinking about Sho."
"Oh." Kyouka said nodding her head slowly.
"Who's Sho?" Ochako asked.
Momo also leaned in, the tall girl was also curios about this Sho person, she had heard a little about him from Kyouka but not enough to piece together a coherent picture.
Setting down his cup looking out window, Midoriya let out a sigh. "We used to be a quartet, Me, Kacchan, Jirou, and another boy named Sho. We were good friends until a year before we started middle school."
"Sho just called us all over the phone one day and said he couldn't be our friend anymore." Kyouka added. "After that, we never saw or heard from him again."
"What was he like?" Momo asked.
Izuku smiled. "He was crazy, just like the three of us."
Some years ago, we see four kids playing at a playground park. There were three boys and one girl. The girl was Jirou Kyouka, she was wearing a white Deep Dope t-shirt and a pair of denim shorts with a pair of pink tennis shoes.
We see Midoriya Izuku, he had on a blue t-shirt with an All Might logo on the back, he was wearing a pair of beige shorts and he sported a pair of red running shoes.
Bakugou Katsuki was seen wearing a black T-shirt, a pair of dark brown shorts, and a pair of black and red sneakers.
We now see the third boy; Sho. He was wearing a light blue t-shirt, a pair of blue denim shorts, a red t-shirt with a similar All Might logo on the front, and on his head was a red, white, and blue All Might theme baseball cap. The cap's bill was shadowing his eyes and you could barely make out his hair.
"Come to think of it," Izuku said as he looked at Kyouka. "None of us ever did see Sho's eyes or hair, right?"
Kyouka shook her head. "Beats me, all I know is, that guy never took his hat off once when we were playing around."
We see the four kids running around and playing on a jungle gym. Katsuki had climbed to the top and was egging his friends to climb up as well. He always boasted about how he was better than all of them, but they just took that as a challenge.
As kids, the three were very close, but Sho a bit of a mystery. They didn't know his surname, they had no clue about his parents, and they didn't even know which school he went to. But even still, he was a great friend who loved hanging out with them.
Sho was better friends with Izuku more than Katsuki, I think you know why, and he treated Kyouka like a sister.
The quartet always hung out in the afternoon when school was over, and in the summer they were always seen together just playing, having fun, and in general just having good time.
AN#3: Extra content and more personal thoughts.
Yeah so, the USJ arc will also feature the 1-B students, I just love them all since the characters are just as dynamic as the 1-A students. But I noticed one thing, class B has more girls and more animal themed quirks than class A, and also does anyone ship Jurota and Pony? Or am I the only one? Yeah, I get it if people ship Pony with Kamakiri Togaru, but still.
The way I see it, Gon, from Hunter x Hunter, and Izuku could pass off as brothers…And yes, the dynamic between Izuku and Katsuki in this fic was based off of Gon and Killua's friendship.
Yes, Katsuki has a little sister in story, I'll explain more about her character in the next chapter, but I'll give you this. Hanabi is 10 years old and is almost like a young girl version of Bakugou Masaru.
Okay, sorry if I cut Midoriya and Katsuki's fight a little short, but we already know that they're capable fighters. It's also better to keep things short instead of dragging them out. I'm looking you Dragon Ball Z.
And speaking of DBZ, I've been watching a lot of JaxBlade's videos on YouTube recently, and if you know who he is, you probably work out once and a while. Because of Jax's training videos and training analysis videos, I've been trying to get into shape and it's really cutting into my writing time, but don't worry about the update schedule, I'll work on it.
And someone get this man(Mera from the provisional license arc) a bed!
