Hey all, SomebodyWhoLovesThings here!
I have some very important disclaimers to make before I continue on with the FanFiction.
SYKE! I really have one.
I have no idea what the fourth season holds and I haven't read the manga (sue me), so the third years coming in and the extra hero work programs are not going to be covered yet.
My bad!
But I still hope you can enjoy

Day 3 of 21
Monday
- POV - Uraraka -
I had gotten back into class today, and Deku and Bakugo were finally with us. Their house arrests have finished their... "sentence". Deku's finished two days ago, and Bakugo's finished yesterday on Sunday.
We had gotten back into class. I looked over at Deku. He was already prepared. His notebook was out, he was ready to take notes, and he seemed 100% focused. A person like him shouldn't need a math tutor... he's such a good student...
My trance was interrupted by All Might bursting into our homeroom. He laughed heartily. "I AM HERE!" I paid full attention immediately. What are we doing today?
All Might immediately went back into his scrawnier looking form, coughing up a bit of blood. Oh dear... "All Might, don't push yourself. The students already know," said Aizawa.
"All right, listen up!" All Might was weaker, but still as convicting and intimidating a speaker as ever. "Aizawa and I noticed over the exam that we haven't gone over the proper ways to save people are yet!"
Todoroki looked a bit embarrassed. Bakugo, on edge as always, stood up for a second. "IS THAT A CALLOU-" Kirishima grabbed his shoulder and pushed him down back into his chair. That's the first time I've seen someone calm down Bakugo.
"No, Young Bakugo. Not everyone has passed, but we all only learned the proper procedure as we moved on. Most of us adapted accordingly and did this correctly."
"Correct," Mr. Aizawa said. "There is no point system, so the people from the Help Us Company will only do what you tell them to do. We will be observing to grade you on this."
"Are there any questions?" All Might asked.
Deku raised his hand. Good at paying attention, like always. I was staring at Deku again; this was a habit I had only recently developed. After a while, I realized what I was doing and felt embarrassed at myself. "A-Ah!" Stop it, me!
"Are you alright, Young Uraraka?"
"Y-Yes! I'm fine! C-Can you repeat what you said?"
"Oh, that's fine. Young Midoriya just asked if this was a test grade, and the answer is no." Whew! "This will be a test grade in the future, but for now, it is only classwork and will be graded, but it won't affect your grade. Take notes on what we tell you to do for proper saving, and practice your techniques!"
"Additionally, we have one more announcement," said Aizawa. "Since All Might's quirk has run dry, we will need someone to be able to watch over the students and save them if needed. We have selected Momo Yaoyorozu due to having the highest score on the second phase of the Provisional Hero Exam."
The whole class turned to look at her, and she blushed. "W-What?"
"Young Yaoyorozu, if you do not want to do this, then we can have a volunteer do it. But know that you won't have to do this on test day."
"O-Oh, okay. I'm fine with this."
"Okay, are we all ready?"
"Yes, All Might!" shouted the class.
"Let's go! Plus Ultra!"
"PLUS ULTRA!"

- POV - Momo -
I led the class into walking down to the place where we'd be saving those from the Help Us Company. It was at the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, like most of our practices and activities.
Mr. Aizawa leaned over and whispered into my ear. "Don't think that you're exempt from hearing criticism from us. You're going to work too."
"Yes sir!"
"Also," added in All Might, "you might be working a bit more than expecting."
"How so, All Might?"
"You see, we have some traps set in place near where those in need of saving are. The students will definitely fall in at least one."
"W-WHAT?!"
"Sh..." said Mr. Aizawa. "Don't worry. If you can't save them, we still have set up some emergency procedures so that the students won't get hurt. But keep this a secret."
"W-Why are you doing this?"
"We need to make sure the students are prepared to both save and be able to adapt to the scenario. You will be tested on that as well, although it is a bit more lenient because you won't fall into any traps. We figured this was all right due to your high test score, however."
"O... Okay." I was a bit critical of his methods, but I could see where he was coming from. All Might has said that a true hero can always break out of a tough spot, so it's necessary that we are put in them for practice.
We walked further down the hallways to get to the Unforeseen Simulation Center, and I spotted Present Mic walking down the hallway to the place we were going. I wonder what he's doing.
When we got there, Present Mic was standing next to Aizawa. "All right, everybody!" he shouted. "We are going to divide you all into groups! The groups will be in pairs besides one group of three, and you will work together!"
Alright, here it comes! The list was put on a large screen. "Here is the list!"
Group List:
Group 1: Denki Kaminari, Eijiro Kirishima, Hanta Sero
Group 2: Izuku Midoriya, Shoto Todoroki
Group 3: Tenya Iida, Ochaco Uraraka
Group 4: Minoru Mineta, Tsuyu Asui
Group 5: Koji Koda, Kyoka Jiro
Group 6: Katsuki Bakugo, Fumikage Tokoyami
Group 7: Rikido Sato, Mashirao Ojiro
Group 8: Toru Hagakure, Mezo Shoji
"Those are the pairs that you all will be working in! Each has been reviewed by Eraser Head, All Might, and I. We have chosen based off of teamwork abilities, compatibility, and others. You will be working in different pairs when the exam comes up!"
I'm particularly interested in the Bakugo Tokoyami pairing. I'm pretty sure they did that on purpose to see if Bakugo could refrain from weakening Dark Shadow during their saving.
"That is all, good luck everyone!"
I sort of eavesdropped in between the conversations between the pairs. I didn't tune in to the first group, because I knew it'd be about the "bros being together" or something like that.
Bakugo and Tokoyami were opposites; certainly incompatible. Bakugo was furious, but Tokoyami was laid back after finding out the pairing.
Midoriya and Todoroki was a pairing that I wasn't surprised to see. I was expecting Midoriya to either be paired with Iida, Uraraka, or Todoroki. Maybe Bakugo if Present Mic wanted to watch someone die.
I saw Iida and Uraraka arguing about something, and I unintentionally overheard some of their conversations.
"I don't understand what you dislike about this, Iida."
"This would've been a perfect opportunity for you to ask him, Uraraka! Now we'll have to wait until the weekend."
"No, there's plenty of other times we could try and ask him about it. Maybe lunch tomorrow?" Are they talking about Midoriya?
I decided to butt in. "Are you guys talking about Izuku?"
They both turned their heads. Uraraka's cheeks turned pink and she immediately looked away. "No, no! You've got it all wrong! It's not like-"
"I wasn't assuming anything, don't worry."
"Momo, do you think you get what's happening or should I fill you in?"
"I... Iida!"
"No, I think I'm fine. I'll see you guys later when we start our practice."
Welp, if it's between Iida and Midoriya, I think we have our answer pretty solidly. I couldn't help but be curious about what they wanted to tell Izuku.
Is it a confession? I can't really see Uraraka confessing like that though. She seems a bit too... awkward? Yeah, that's the right word.
Iida seems pretty confident and well-spoken, plus he's really intelligent. I could see why she'd come to him about this.
The groups went off and started to save those in the Help Us Company. Luckily, the groups weren't far apart, just working separately. So I was able to keep an eye on most of them at once in case they needed saving.
I had eaten a lot of food in preparation for this because I wanted to be sure I could create everything I needed to.
I checked all of the groups and their strengths in order to predict where they would be failing and how I could save them.
The trio group didn't have too many tricks up their sleeve. Kaminari could move heavy objects, and Sero could move around using the tape. I predict that Kaminari would be the one needing saving.
Midoriya and Todoroki were both ace students in the class, and they are very smart. Their biggest problems were that they were more individual and sometimes their quirks were a bit too powerful.
Iida and Ochaco were a perfect pair. I can't really see any whatsoever for the beginning. Iida's speed and Ochaco's Zero Gravity allows Iida to quickly transport anything of any weight, which allowed for great movement of victims, heavy obstructions, and etcetera.
Mineta and Asui were mainly based around mobility, with Asui being able to jump around and Mineta being able to use his balls. Asui even used her tongue to put the balls on her tongue and attach multiple victims to her tongue for mass transport. I feel that because we're not around water, Asui may need saving sooner or later.
Most of these teams are working together better than I expected. I wonder if this was planned out by All Might, Aizawa and Present Mic specifically.
Koda and Jirou were also very good together. While there weren't many large animals around, Jirou was able to amplify Koda's voice to call many insects to reach insects in places they couldn't get to themselves.
Tokoyami and Bakugo were the first "problem" pair. Tokoyami will probably need saving soon because Bakugo could accidentally deactivate Dark Shadow. So I kept an eye on Tokoyami.
Sato in group 7 I worried about more than Ojiro. Ojiro's tail isn't as strong as Sato's sugar rush, but the cognitive defects could lead to him falling into a trap more easily.
And I have no clue how I'm going to keep track of Hagakure. I've got to keep my eyes trained on her uniform and hope she doesn't take it off, otherwise, I'm finished.
I scanned the area, looking for traps and possible ways that the teams could need saving. Mei Hatsume had given me some support items so that I could maneuver around faster and find people in need.
I zoomed in to look at group 1. They were lifting rubble to help a crushed victim, and a large rock was hoisted on Kirishima's back. "I got it!" He held the victim in one arm and the rock in the other.
But little did he know, picking up that rock, a piece of wall with a rugged surface started falling. Only his arms are hardened, and unless he hardens his whole body in time, he'll get scraped terribly.
The teachers probably knew they'd use Kirishima's power and put this in place. It's either a test of Kirishima's reaction time or a test of mine. We'll see who gets it first.
"KIRISHIMA! DITCH THE ROCK!" Shouted Sero. He threw it to the side where nobody could get hurt. "Take this and turn around!" I told him. I created a shield and gave it to him. The wall fell on the shield, and that took all the pressure.
Kirishima put down the victim and Sero scooped him up. He ducked. "Brace yourself, Kirishima!" He turned around swiftly, holding the shield with both hands.
The jagged surface scratched the shield like crazy, but I'd rather that then gash Kirishima's skin. It held the surface until Kirishima moved it out of the way.
Sero crawled out from under, careful not to hit his or the victim's head, and took the victim to the teacher. "Thanks, Momo!"
"Just doing my job. Where's Kaminari?"
"He went inside the building to save someone inside!" The building that had broken into pieces was still standing, but it was on fire, and some walls and foundation had been removed.
"Oh, for Pete's sake!" I did a scan of the other teams, and they seemed to be doing fine. I rushed inside the building.
I used the mobility tools Hatsume had given me to scan the windows. Is he an idiot without using his quirk? Why would he go in here alone? I scanned the building and found him.
He was in the computer lab. There were puddles everywhere, and computers were crashed and broken on the floor. I opened the window. "What are you doing?!"
"I can't pick up the victim without shocking her! My body's resistant to the electricity, but hers is not."
"Search the area for a wooden tool!" Kaminari searched the lab while I went to the victim. "We'll get you out of here, just don't step in any water! Stand still!"
"O-Okay..." Kaminari, you better have checked the condition of the victim before I came here, otherwise, we'll lose points with Mr. Aizawa.
"There's no wooden objects! Not even any desks!"
This is a test of my quirk! They removed the desks so that they could see if I could come up with a way to save her! I needed to create wood, make sure it didn't catch on fire and make a plan so Kaminari could get out of the building and save her.
I wasn't allowed to directly save people unless they were students. I could help them, or I could save them if need be. But the saving of victims was for everyone else.
I created a pair of gloves. "Put these on."
"Okay?" I crashed the window and created a wooden platform and some rope. "Kaminari, what's wrong with the victim?"
"She broke all of her fingers on both hands when a desktop fell onto her fingers." Good. Her legs and arms are fine.
"Victim, lay on this platform! We'll get you out of here!" The victim did so accordingly. We tied up the victim on the platform by the window by her legs, torso, and arms. We made sure her fingers weren't put under pressure.
"Momo, what are you planning to do?"
"Stand on the platform, with your feet beside the victim!" I tied his feet to the platform as tight as I could. I was a very good knottier. "Grab onto the electric wire and hold on. You're ziplining to the next building!"
"Momo, that idea won't work!"
"Trust me!" Kaminari slid down the wire. I used the gloves to protect his hands from the friction, which would have cut his hands open. The electricity was fine on its own.
He made it to the other building, and I went to the middle of the saving ground after that save. "Thanks, Momo!" I heard in the distance as I was leaving.
It's miraculous that line held up... and the slope of the wire wasn't fast enough for the impact to hurt the victim. We got really lucky...
I got a few more saves, but those were the only real notable ones that I had gotten. I scanned the area and found more students in trouble.
Most of the "traps" were very subtle. Subtle to the point I barely realized they were traps. The teachers must have had some help from Principal Nezu. I have no idea how they could predict the students' actions and scenarios so perfectly.
There was really only one more save that was extremely notable, but it wasn't my save. In fact, it was the only save from somebody else.
After getting a save on Group 7, I heard explosions from behind me. Bakugo?! Bakugo was trying to blow his way through a wall to get through to a victim.
"Bakugo, you need to be more careful! The person could be injured!"
"Shut up! How else do we get through? Why aren't you helping?"
"I would have probably used Dark Shadow by now, but he's afraid of the light you're giving off."
Little did Bakugo know, that on the other side of the wall was Iida and Uraraka. The voice was a fake. It was a test designed to fake out those like Bakugo, and it worked perfectly, creating an unexpected scenario for Group 6 and group 3.
"Iida! The rubble from the explosion is going to fly out and fall on someone below the building!"
"I'll evacuate those on this floor. You focus on trying to lighten the impact of the explosion!"
Iida had gotten those on the floor and dashed out, while Uraraka used damaged parts of the room to barricade the wall. She eventually tried holding them there with her Zero Gravity. She was pushing hard against it.
Eventually, the explosion happened. "Uraraka!" I watched. She'll use her Zero Gravity and save herself. I know it. But she started falling! What?
Oh, I know what happened. Uraraka is still holding onto the rubble from the explosion. It floated in the air as she fell. But she couldn't save herself because she knew that if she dropped the rubble that someone could get hurt. She thinks I am gonna save her! What can I do?
I created binoculars and looked at where she was in the sky. I could determine where she would land. I then started to try to create pillows, but only two came out.
My stomach churned. Uh oh! Don't tell me I've run out of ammo! How am I going to save Uraraka! The teachers couldn't have possibly planned this out! This was because of a students' actions!
I felt a harsh wind blow over me. I looked up and she was gone. What the? I searched around with my binoculars to find them. I couldn't see them. After a while, the rubble started falling, so I took cover.
When it was over, I eventually spotted where they were at. Midoriya's was slightly illuminating with red lines, almost like arteries, glowing from his legs.
He powered up... and he caught her from mid-air? Did he jump from somewhere else? He was holding Uraraka bridal-style, and when he put her down, she immediately turned around and covered her face. She then ran away, seemingly embarrassed.
"TIMES UP! PRACTICE IS OVER!" shouted Present Mic.

- POV - Deku -
I saw Uraraka falling. Why isn't she saving herself with her quirk? This isn't Camie, is it? But I looked up and saw that rubble was oddly floating. What the?! She's sacrificing herself for a bunch of useless rubble!
I looked down and looked for Momo, who should be saving her. She was creating stuff, but she suddenly stopped. Uh oh... did she run out of lipids? Uraraka was falling, and there was nobody to help.
All Might... I wish you were still able to help. But he still was. He was still able to help. Through me. I knew that she could die if I didn't do something.
"Pros are always risking their lives! That's the mark of a TRUE hero!" I coursed One for All through my legs. I was going to jump to the next building and save her, even if it meant sacrificing my legs.
It won't explode, it won't explode, it won't explode, it won't explode, it won't explode... "OCHACO!" I yelled at the top of my lungs as my legs propelled my body into the air.
I flew past the rubble and time seemed to slow down when I was near her. She was falling with her back first. My legs... they don't hurt! I can still land!
I caught her mid-air, holding her I held Asui when I caught her with her injured legs. Ah... focus on the landing! I still need to put energy into to not break my legs on the impact. I could drop Ochaco!
"One for All..." my legs felt more energy being flowed into. "SMASH!" I kept the burst of energy short to not break through the ceiling of the building I landed on. I dented it, but it was still intact.
My legs ached, but they weren't broken. My breath was heavy. I was panting. "D... Deku? What happened!?"
I didn't realize I was still holding Uraraka. "U-Uh... Uraraka! Are you alright?" I looked at her, and she looked back in awe. I tried to hold back my blush, and it worked a bit. I had almost forgotten how beautiful she was. Wait... did I just?!
"I-I was just falling... did you... teleport me?" Oh, how long did that actually take? Time seemed to have slowed down for me.
"I... I saw you from o-over there... and I jumped..."
"You... you jumped...?" Uraraka put her hand on my cheek. "Your... your face is warm..." She seemed tired.
I blushed harder. W-What is she doing? Why is she...I turned around for a second, and she was still holding the rubble up. That's why! I looked, and nobody was there. "Release it, Uraraka! Nobody will get hurt!"
"... Release..." All the rubble dropped, and she fell asleep.
"Uraraka... this isn't the time to sleep." No answer. "Uraraka?" I shook her, as I was still holding her. Her eyes cracked open. They then widened, and she jumped out of my arms.
She looked me up and down, and focused on my legs for a split second. She then ran away, covering her cheeks. "S-S-Sorry, Dekuuuuuu!"
"U-Uraraka! Are you okay!" I started chasing her down. "Urara-"
"TIMES UP! PRACTICE IS OVER!"
