Here is my fourth chapter. This chapter has one of the three big events I currently have planned out. Also, I said this in Thus the Jade Rose Scatters, but I have created a YouTube channel. I currently only have one video, but I would love for you to check it out and share it with your friends. Also, I should post another video today if all goes well. I play piano and really enjoy it, so I thought I'd share it.

I hope you enjoy the chapter!

"It's MEEE! Through the door, like a normal person!" All Might said, entering the door like a weird person. Everyone immediately started talking to each other, murmuring about All Might. "Foundational Hero Studies!" He yelled. "For this class, we'll be building up your hero foundation through various trials! Let's jump right in with this!" He held up a sign that said 'BATTLE' on it. "The trial of Battle!" Some panels opened up from the wall. "And to go with your first battle… we've prepared the gear we had you send in requests for to match your quirk! Get changed and we'll be ready to go! Everyone gather at grounds B! The garb you bring into the battlefield is vitally important, boys and girls!" Does he ever speak in a normal tone of voice? "And don't forget, from here on out, you're all officially, heroes!" I smiled and grabbed my costume. "Let's see what you're made of, embryos!"

I looked around and saw different costumes. Some looked practical, others were supposed to look cool, others just looked stupid. I was wearing what was basically a black ninja costume. But it is very flexible and comfortable, as I requested. It has pockets and some strips of cloth that are completely for aesthetic purposes. The strips of cloth along with some other parts of the costume were dark green.

All Might caught my attention by yelling, "This will be an indoor battle! Villain cleanup is usually seen out in the open, but, statistically, the better part of it is an indoor job. Most acts of villainy are committed indoors. House arrest… imprisonment… the black market… why any villain with intelligence is lurking in the shadows! For this test, you'll separate into 'villain' and 'hero' groups. For a two-on-two team battle!"

"What about the foundational training?" The frog girl asked.

"This is foundational training!" All Might replied."Only this time, there won't be any robots it'd be okay to just destroy!" everyone immediately started talking over each other. "HNN, I can't hear you if you all speak at once! For this training, we'll have some 'villains' guard a nuclear weapon they intend on deploying! The heroes must stop their nefarious scheme before it's too late. If the heroes capture the villains or reach the nuclear core before time runs out. If the villains manage to keep the core the whole time or capture the heroes, they win. Your teammates will be chosen by… lottery!"

One of the students protested so another student explained the logic of it. I went up to All Might and grabbed a ball from the box in his hands. I saw a big black "D" on it. Wait, that doesn't sound right. I went over to my cousin. "Who'd you get?"

She pointed at Midoriya. "Him, how about you?"

I pointed at the explosion guy. "The idiot, I think his name is Kacchan?"

"That's what I've heard."

"Well, good luck!" I told her.

"You too!"

"And the first two pairs to do combat will be the following! Pair A will be heroes, Pair D will be villains! This scenario will have the villains inside the building first! Then, after five minutes, the heroes will be let in! Everyone else will be able to watch everything unfold through surveillance cameras. This will allow young Jasupa and Bakugou to get into the villain mindset. This is a practice training exercise! So go all out without fear of injury! Though naturally, we will cut things short if it gets out of hand!"

We were led into a building. Sadly, once it started, Bakugou just ran off immediately to fight Midoriya. Yeah, I'm slowly learning names. That leaves just me and Keiti to fight. I'm staying here by the 'bomb' so that Keiti couldn't just sneak past me and win. I waited for Keiti, as she was taking a while. While I was waiting I scratched a rose into the ground. There was still some time, so I drew two wings beside it. I heard Bakugou yelling, and turned off my earpiece. Then I heard my cousin and I looked up and saw her standing there. "Hi." She was wearing a similar outfit to mine. Except hers was white and lavender. The overall appearance is very close though, with a few differences because of height, weight, and gender. She also has gold flecks in her teal hair. She had her hair in a bob cut, but without any bangs.

"Hi."

"So this is nice because now we can fight without holding back."

"True." She smiled. "I forgot that."

I let my sword disappear and reappear. It got a little blunt when I was scratching the floor. My semblance is called Moonslice, I named it myself. I am able to summon a katana at will and manipulate its kinetic energy as long as I'm touching it, including things like making sound with vibration, augmenting my attacks, and creating strong electric currents and discharges. I can also manipulate the length of the cloth bandage at the end of it, for whatever reason.(1) Sadly it takes my own energy to manipulate my sword's. I get tired, and really hungry afterward, so I keep an emergency stash of food on me all the time.

Keiti got into a fighting stance. Her quirk is called Gentle Fist. She named it herself too. She is able to expel energy from her hands. She's studied martial arts, and she uses that knowledge and her quirk together, and is very strong.(2)

She ran at me as I shifted my grip to a reverse grip with the blade facing away from me. She got up close and swiftly punched several times. I dodged a few and blocked one with my right forearm. I twisted my wrist, slicing upwards. She jumped back to dodge. I raised my hand up and swung down, hard. She twisted her torso and stepped forward. She slammed the bottom of her palm into the small of my back and I was thrown to the ground. I turned around and saw her running towards the 'bomb'. I threw my sword, lengthening the bandage as I threw it. I held onto the end of it and manipulated my sword so it would wrap around her ankles. I tugged and shortened the piece of cloth so that she fell to the ground and couldn't touch her target. I release and summon my sword again, jumping up into the air. I stabbed into the ground, but Keiti dodged. I swung it, kicking up dust with my blade. Keiti rolled, but it cut her slightly. She sprang up, and I swung again. She stopped it with her bare hand, releasing energy to knock it away, and out of my hands. She's only done that when she's mad.

"Okay, okay." I held up my hands defensively and summon my sword. "We don't have to do this. Just calm down, count to ten, and-" She thrust her fist forward. I try to dodge but she catches my shoulder and knocks me off balance. I try to swing at her, but she hit me in the sternum, throwing me down to the floor. "Ow! You know, you could have just damaged my heart."

She calmed down a little bit. "Oh, I'm sorry."

I coughed. "Nah, it's fine. I'll just get healed just in case." I throw my sword again, wrapping it around her legs. I pull her off balance again, and then I re-summoned my sword. I wrapped the bandage around my wrist, letting my sword go so it hung down. I started spinning it as she got up and ran at me. I put it in front of me as a shield, but she just punched the bandage. It then came up and cut me in the face. She slid close and hit the back of my knees with her shin. Then she lunged forward, and touched the 'bomb' the whole thing was based around. Well, crap.

"The heroes… The heroes win!" Then the floor exploded up from under me.

Midoriya was missing, he was being healed, but the three of us were standing there, everyone a little scuffed up. "Hmm, I'd say, The best in this match was young Keiti!" All might yelled.

I raised up my hand and high-fived her. "Nice job."
"Now, can anyone tell me why?" All Might ask-yelled.

"Yes, All Might!" A girl raised her hand. "It's because she followed what the mission was actually about. Having watched the fight, Bakugou's behavior was clearly driven by some personal grudge, and thus totally arbitrary. Furthermore, just as you explained to us earlier, a large ranged attack in an indoor arena is just idiotic. The same goes for Midoriya. Jasupa got caught up in the fight too much and lost track of what it was really about. Keiti was able to calm down after she got angry, and instead of focusing on the fight, she changed her target to the core, at the last second."
"Great answer!"

My chest suddenly hurt. I poked myself, and it hurt a lot. "Um," I coughed. "Ow. Teacher, may I go visit Recovery Girl?"
"Yes, my boy! Be sure to come back quick!"

1 This will be explained later, once I go into detail on Jasupa's parents' quirks. I actually have more planned out for this one than my other ones.

2 I don't know a lot about martial arts, so sorry if I get things wrong.

Also, I did a little bit of research on martial arts. One of the most important Krav Maga techniques is a kick to the groin.

Kicking someone in the nuts is a legitimate attack.
