I'm gonna be completely real I have no plans of following the canon of the story simply because I can't be fucked to go through the entire manga again just to get all the details right. There will be mentions of it just like there was last chapter idk how many mentions but there will be mentions at least at certain points. I'm making another chapter cuz I had a lot of fun banging out the first chapter during my free time at work so here we go.

'We're screwed'

'We're screwed

There are multiple reasons for this shared thought between user and quirk. Darkshadow's reasoning is simple, he doesn't wanna be on the recieving end of Izuku's One for All enhanced punches and for good reason. Fumikage's reasons are a bit different though.

'This is quite possibly one of the most atrocious match-ups we could have gotten. With Midoriya's analytical skills, combat strength, and knowledge of my quirk paired with Yaoyorozu's intellect and her ability to create anything this battle is most certainly in their favor.'

'Don't forget that we have lil miss chatterbox as a partner. I don't mean to be rude' 'That's a lie' 'but she ain't exactly the sharpest cookie in the crayon box if you catch my drift'

As much as Fumikage preferred to avoid thinking lowly of his classmates he couldn't deny that Darkshadow had a point. Mina's grades were consistently at the bottom of the class, and judging from her practical exam against Nezu, fighting opponents that outmatch her intellectually causes her to panic and run around like a chicken with it's head cut off. Sometimes metaphorically or like her practical exam with Denki quite literally. It also didn't help her case that she never seemed to have a care in the world since she was more interested in gossip and socializing rather than academics. However Ashido had her own thoughts on their pairing and match up as well.

'Oh my god we are so dead. So very dead. How am I supposed to find a work around for Midoriya and Yaomomo AND keep up with someone like Tokoyami it just isn't possible. Midoriya and Tokoyami outclass me in combat. Yaomomo, Midoriya, and Tokoyami are all leagues above me grade wise. I am so dead!'

While she never really showed it her performance during the practical exam and the fact that she she had some of the lowest grades in the class hit her quite hard. It's not that she didn't try its just that focusing on academics was very difficult to do. Her attentionspan was unnaturally short and school just all in all wasn't interesting and couldn't keep her attention. The most her grades improved was with her study session with Yaoyorozu and even then it still wasn't enough.

As the classes rolled by these both partners were plagued by these thoughts of negativity. They both believed they had the worst matchup possible with the partner they were completely incompatible with. Mina had all but given up, Fumikage however wasn't entirely deterred. He was deterred alright but not entirely. So it came as a surprise to Mina when the avian headed edgelord approached her at lunch. In fact it stopped her from banging her head into the table before it even began.

"Oh Tokoyami whaddya need buddy?" Mina asked with a very convincing fake smile that almost no one caught. ALMOST everyone.

"I was wondering when would be a good time to discuss how we should go about Mr. Aizawa's practical assignment. We have an atrocious disadvantage considering our opponents and should attempt to mitigate it in anyway possible."

Mina perked up at this not knowing that Fumikage considered her a slight disadvantage but not nearly as overpowering as their opponents.

"Well would right after classes be fine. Some of the homework we had was a little confusing so I figured 'Hey Tokoyami has pretty good grades maybe he'd be willing to help' so we can discuss our practical and I could have a good tutor then bada bing bada boom two bird with one stone ya know?" Fumikage quirked an eyebrow at her request, but Mina took it a different way.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry I didn't to be so insensitive oh my god I can't believe I sai-"

"Ashido relax I took no offense from your metaphor, I was simply intrigued that you found me to be a suitable tutor. Surely others could do a better job at assisting you?"

This caused Mina to blink a few times before letting out a sigh of relief. "Well normally I ask Yaomomo for help, but seeing as we're enemies for a week I didn't think she'd appreciate me poking and prodding ya know?"

Fumikage could definitely see the logic in it as it could be percieved as a way to try and gleen information out of an opponent so he agreed that they would meet in her room after class so they could discuss how to proceed with their project. He also agreed to tutor Ashido and was flattered that although he was an alternative out of convenience he was still a viable alternative. Once that was out of the way they went back to their normal groups for the rest of lunch. Classes rolled by once more and once they were done both partners went to their respective rooms to get changed before they began.

Tokoyami changed into simple black pants, all black converse, and a black shirt with a skull design on it. All black check, edgy design check. He then proceeded to Mina's room. Once he got there he knocked on the door and waited a few seconds before she opened the door. She had changed into a black tank top with the word 'Acid' written across it in pink letters and denim shorts. After a quick greeting Mina invited the boy in and they began their discussion

"First off we should address our own weaknesses before trying to overcome those of our adversaries. Is this acceptable?" asked Fumikage.

"Oh yea that totally makes sense great idea dude is it cool if I go first?" the pink skinned girl requested. After recieving a nod from Tokoyami she began.

"Well first off is that if I make too much acid it becomes painful to produce more, but that's easy to avoid, um I don't have the best of attentionspans unfortunately and I'm not exactly a genius either." she said dejectedly. "If I may interject" the edgelord asked to which Mina nodded "I believe another weakness of yours is that you're quick to panic when faced with an intellectually superior adversary such as principal Nezu."

Her response to this was a simple "Guilty" as she hung her head down. Seeing her disappointment Fumikage decided to go over his own weaknesses.

"Due to Darkshadow's nature he is quite weak to light which resulted in my loss to Bakugo. While I have slightly mitigated me weakness to martial combat with Black Anhk I still lack the experience that Midoriya does."

This caused Mina to perk up as she never thought the avian boy had weaknesses. This raised a question however.

"So what do we do about it?"

It was a simple question, but it was also very daunting. However Tokoyami had an answer to this.

"I believe I should be the one to handle direct combat especially with Midoriya. While you are athletic and quick you don't have many options to deal with Midoriya if he gets close." Mina planned to follow his lead but had a question. "How are you going to fight both Midoriya and Yaomomo?"

"A fair question, but Yaoyorozu doesn't have any means of combatting Darkshadow which makes the task far less daunting."

However Mina had another very good question. "Didn't she create flashbombs to use against Aizawa though?"

Darkshadow took this has his que to appear. "You're an idiot Fumi" "How did I not think of that" Fumikage said before slamming his head into her desk.

"W-well lets think of how to deal with that later yea I think we made some pretty decent headway" Mina said slightly startled at Fumimage's action. The boy murmured his age old mantra before agreeing and began to help the girl with her homework. After helping her she thanked him for the help and he thanked her for her insight before leaving. As he left her primary thought was 'Fumi is a cute nickname' before her face gained a lilac tone and she decided to try and call it a night.

Meanwhile as Fumikage was walking back to his room Darkshadow decided to tease his user.

'You think she's cute'

'Silence'

'That wasn't a no'

'We are not talking about this'

'Spoilsport'

Fumikage did however find Mina quite attractive although he had no plans of voicing this opinion at the moment he may perhaps voice it in the future.

And chapter two is done yay. Idk how I'm gonna do the rest of this I'll probably think about it during my free time at work. That's all folks and remember Hentai is the one true god.
