Chapter 6: Unparalleled Power

After such an interesting first day the students could hardly believe how normal their other classes were. Math, history, science, english were the typical run of the mill classes, not a slight difference. They were so normal to a degree that some could hardly believe that they were apart of the most rigorous hero course in the world. Lunches were fair better however as the cooking hero, Lunch Rush, cooked for them along with a few of his sidekicks. "Deku, as usual, having a fangasm." His friend looked off to the side.

With their new high school life came two new friends Iida and Ochako. Begrudgingly he accepted them as he had a feeling that his was simply the way things would be for the time being. However among all the normalcy there is one class that shines more than all the rest, Hero Training. This class was easily the most fun for class 1A this would be their first time. "So Leone what do you think of my narrator voice? Hey were you even paying attention!?" All Might asked.

"Um yeah uncle justice and peace right?" His nephew was looking down at his phone while he pranced across the rooftops towards U.A. "By the way can we go back in that direction?" Leone pointed to the left. The blonde man cocked his head wondering what could be going through his mind. Maybe there was incident that he wanted to investigate. All Might waited expectantly. "There was a Blastoise over there."

"Really Leone?" The hero sighed.

~U.A High~

"Why is it exactly as he said too?" Leone facepalmed himself. The other teachers had to be giving his uncle "updates" about what Leone was doing since his little incident with Aizawa but he never believed that All Might himself would be basically stalking him. He may have walked by like we was just picking up from Lunch Rush but that was the same sort of nonchalant walk he partook whenever he passed by Leone's room.

"Hm," Tenya looked up form his food. "What's the matter with you?" He asked.

"Nothing." He commented going back to his rice. "Anyway you guys excited to be getting our costumes today? They're a little behind schedule but better late than never I suppose."

"Totally! Mine looks so cool I spent hours designing it! Ochako pumped her fists. "What about you Deku, excited?"

"Yeah..." Izuku pushed his food around. "Just promise not to laugh."

"Why would we laugh?" Iida asked.

"Leone knows why." Midoriya mumbled.

Suddenly six sets of eyes were on him. "What are you two looking at me as if I have the holy grail of knowledge? Well sorry to disappoint but you guys but I don't think it's worth my time to explain. No need to waste my breath on something you'll see soon." Leone scarfed down the last remaining bits of his food and got up. "Anyway I'm going to head back to the classroom. Our training's going to start next period so you guys should try to finish up soon as well. See ya."

Ochako scratched her head. Contrary to what Izuku had told her earlier that Leone loved explaining things. "What's wrong with Leone Deku?"

The green-haired trainee looked on at his friend as he left. He was not acting too much differently. Maybe it was something regarding his father? Leone always got like this whenever something revolving around him was brought up. Not much else seemed to phase him. No need to bother their new friends, Leone would tell them when he wanted. "He's probably just thinking about something." He smiled. "

"Now here comes my favorite part of the day. Just a little bit more tea. Nothing in my teeth. Yep! Ok," He inhaled. "I am here! Walking through the door, like a normal person!" All Might stomped through the door. Every child in the room burned with excitement.

"He's even wearing his Silver Age costume. He must really want to pump us us." Leone sighed.

"Welcome your most important class at Yuuei high! The cornerstone of your education! The building blocks that will eventually allow each and everyone of you to become the most sparkling heroes that you can be! This is basic Hero Training or Heroing one oh one! There's not other class that can truly teach you how to be a pro and fight in the name of justice." He posed. "Today we won't be pulling any punches! We're going for the gold today with battle training!"

The class stirred even more. Katsuki grinned sinisterly imaging all the way he planned to annihilate any opponent. More than a few of those thoughts warped to how he would whoop Deku. "But of course there's no way we'll be sending you out looking like a bunch of children even though you are! We gotta make sure that you're all looking good!" Panels in the classroom slid out. "These were all based on your specifications that you sent in before school started! Get dressed and meet me at the training grounds!"

"Yessir!"

"Leone." All Might pulled him to the side. "There's a slight problem with your request."

"What? I asked for things that were so simple to find and craft. I knew I should have taken care of it myself." He shook his head. "Whatever. Just tell me what was the problem I'll make due without the mods."

All Might held up his outfit. Leone's jaw hit the ground. "The problem was that I hadn't finished iron pressing it yet. I figured that it would cling to your skin a little too much and interfere with you fighting." The boy's face scrunched up. He took the outfit and stormed off. "I know he doesn't like being the butt of jokes and all," The hero took out his phone. "But the faces he makes when he gets made is too cute."

~Battlefield Beta~

All Might waited. He wondered why they were taking so long. Back when he was attending U.A some hazing did occasionally go in the locker room but this class did not seem like the group to bully. "Wait...there we are!" The students were making their way down the hall. "Clothes make the pros ladies and gentlemen and looking at you those suits you are the proof! Take it to heart heroes in training! There's not a singly one of you who doesn't look cool! Well...aside from young Midoriya." He had just caught up to the group.

"Nice costume Leone." Denki flashed him a thumbs up. "I bet you gave those people working for the Clothing Allowance a run for their money for your outfit."

"Yeah I was actually getting worried because of the comment a certain someone said." He spoke up. Leone turned to checked all the costumes out accessing how they aided in everyone's quirks. "Katsuki," He mumbled. "Those gauntlets. Do they increase his natural fire power my being stored with maybe gun powder? Or maybe they're reservoirs for nitroglycerin? That would explain the pins." He nodded. "Next on the list is Asui...Tsu. Can I ask what functions your suit gives you."

"Hm." She leaned in. "You gotta stop mumbling. By the way you can look you know its not like I'm naked or anything." Leone refused to look. "Well fine then. You see these, no you can't actually." She began again. "These goggles of mine were specially made for my eyes. I'll be able to see underwater better, the flippers were made to make my swimming even better, and the suit also helps with that. What are you a monk?"

"No," He grumbled. "Just don't worry about it."

"If you say so." She shrugged.

Leone turned his attention to Deku. "Well look at you, almost the spitting image of uncle. Just take away the muscles and the gargantuan smile. Seems you compensated with the latter though. Not too flashy though I could have added a few things for you. Maybe I could have added some healing agent in the suit to keep your bones from breaking or your muscles from ripping apart. Don't press too harshly on the quirk subject." He finished with a thought.

"No. No that's fine. But your outfit," He gazed at it. The outfit was for the most part simplistic. Across his eyes was a blue vizor that connected to his ears like a sort of headset, a blue and white jacket that had a weaving of flames on the side and reached down to his knees, a bulky looking gold belt, pants, and boots. "You look like a new aged hero! What does it do?"

The boy in blue wagged his finger. " I can't go revealing my secrets. Battle training's against each other today. I don't want you to have an advantage over me. And Ochako your- I can see way too much."

"How do you know that? I thought maybe it would be against more of those bots like during the exam." Ochako asked.

"I've got an inside man."

"Now that you're ready let's start the training."

"Sir!" Iida shouted. "This is the same place that we conducted out entrance exams; will we be still fighting in more urban environments?

"No we're picking up the pace because of the increase in villain attacks recently. Besides most battles you see on the news are fought outside but in the world of the of pros the truly despicable villains hide in the shadows and conduct their business indoors. Think about cartoons you all watched as children about secret lairs hit the nail on the head perfectly. So we're preparing you for the best of the best! You'll be split into teams of two!"

Asui raised her hand. "Isn't this a little advanced?"

"Of course it is! The real training is on the battlefield!"

"Sir will you be deciding who wins?"

"How much can we hurt the other team?" Bakugou and Leone huffed.

"Do we have to worry about getting expelled again?"

"Does this cape look stylish enough to you?"

"Shut up!" The adult forced his voice to stay low. "Let me finish talking youngsters." He opened up a script. "Here's a basic rundown. The villains have stored a weapon somewhere in their hide out its up to the heroes to either capture the villains or the weapon. For a villain win they either need to capture the heroes or defend their weapon! Time's limited so let's get to picking these lots!"

Momo stepped up the the lot box. "Team C, so that means I'm with Watanabe. Sir doesn't that leave someone out?" She asked.

"Who could we possibly be miss-" Someone tugged on All Might's cape. "Hello young man who're...you're young Mineta!" He coughed twice. "Excuse me I seem to forgot all about you. You're far, ahem, shorter than even I imagined." Tears welled in the little boys eyes. "We have all the teams filled though adding him to a team may swing the favor for either team. It wouldn't be fair to just put him anywhere. Probably better to ask. Would anyone care to take this strapping young lad on their team."

Everyone was silent. "No one really?"

"We'll take him." Leone pushed Minoru towards him and Momo. She shuttered a bit mostly due to his height.

"Thanks Leone!" Minoru chimed.

"Yeah. Yeah." He crossed his arms. "You're grapes are versatile, only reason I wanted you on this team." Leone kept this part to himself. "Izuku got paired with Uraraka. Hopefully he doesn't let that distract-"

"So Watanabe I think it would be wise to prepare some sort of battle...why are you looking away? Hey I'm talking to you. Watanabe?"

"And of course yours is the most revealing." He cried internally. "I never pegged you for that type of woman Yaoyorozu."

All Might reached back into the boxes. "And the first two groups who are going to be fighting are! These guys!" He raised the balls high into the air. "Team D and team A! Team A gets to be the heroes while D is the villain team. Get in gear and head to the first battle building. Everyone else follow me to the monitoring room."

"Good luck Deku."

"Thanks Leone!" Midoriya waved. All Might's protege clenched his fist. He could feel Kacchan's gaze. Deku's look was one of determination; his bully couldn't stand that damned look. It was the same one he had given him for years. No matter how hard he tried, no matter how he taunted or raved Izuku kept that same look in his eyes. Bakugou needed to crush it. This new Deku was something he would not tolerate.

He and Ochako read over the long list of details All Might had given them just before dashing off towards the monitoring room. "So they can move the weapon to any floor huh? As long as they don't move it from the building after they decide on a place to put it anything goes. What should our plan be Deku?"

"Well," He put up the pamphlet. "Knowing Kacchan he'll probably be on offense if we get close to the weapon. I doubt that he would follow Tenya's advice which might be to just put it somewhere and stay put."

"That's logical so Iida would definitely think that was the best course of action." She agreed. "But if what you're thinking turns out to be true what're we gonna do? Katsuki got the highest score on the exam, like he keeps telling us," She groaned. "Without any rescue points. I don't think our odds are very good if he's going to be the guard dog for the weapon."

"True." He nodded. "But I've got a plan just for that."

"Ready villain team?"

"Roger." They said together.

"Hero team?"

"Let's do this!"

"Good. Begin!" Ochako and Izuku entered the building. It was entirely made of metal. They searched door after door progressing slowly. They reconvened in the middle of the floor confirming that they had found nothing. The only option left was to keep moving. No sense in stopping they were on a time limit. "My I suppose Aizawa was wrong. Young Bakugou isn't being-"

"Deku!" The door to the second floor exploded outwards. All Might's head snapped down being made wrong all of a sudden hurt. "About time you made it up here. What's it been two minutes. Wasting all your time like isn't smart of a "hero"." He jeered. "Now we can finally get to business!" He swung with his right. Midoriya grabbed his arm tossing him onto the ground, looking to his partner. The brown haired girl hopped over Bakugo but while doing tapped his forehead. "What the hell is this."

"Good job Ochako."

"You were right! He swung with his right just like you predicted."

Midoriya had predicted him attacking with his left? Out of all his appendages? "That little bastard." He floated in the air trying to steady himself. He pulled pin on his bracelets but without enough stored reservoirs it only succeeded in sending him flying backwards. "I'm getting farther away! But..." Katsuku grinned.

"Katsuki what's wrong? I heard explosions have you already engaged the enemy?"

"Just do your job." He yelled. "I've got this."

"Why can't he just listen?" Tenya sighed. "It seems that my partner is out of the fight now." He turned his back. "If I am to play the villain I must try my hardest to perform the correct duties! Though I wish I had a swiveling chair and kitten. That would make me truly evil! Hahaha!"

"Sounds like Iida's trying to get into his role."

"When do we strike."

"He won't leave the room I'm sure. so I think the best course of action will be to just rush. He may be fast and able to take on multiple enemies but even he can't protect the weapon forever."

"Alright then on three?"

"One."

"Two."

"Three!" They charged into the room. The glasses wearer spun on his heels. He skidded behind Midoriya and kicked him in the sides sending him to the opposite side of the room. Uraraka screamed at the sight. He shifted his focus to her and smashed the girl directly into Deku.

The engine boy crossed his arms. "In the name of villainy! I will stop the both of you!" He swore.

The hero team gathered themselves and stood once more. One mess up and Iida was done for. "Come on Ochako one more push and I'm sure we can take him down." They fought together counter each of Tenya's moves pushing him further back. "We've got it now!" Deku elbowed his friend making him hunch over. Together they reached for the weapon.

"I'm coming for you Deku!" Both teenagers froze. They turned back a bright light filled the grey corridors behind them. The blonde blasted up the stairs scorching everything on his past them. He grabbed Ururaka on his way in, she was in the air with him. "How'd you make me float like that dammit?" She refused to say a word. He thought back to the one time he had seen Ochacko use her quirk. Tying his legs around her, Katsuki forced her to press her finger tips together. Back on the ground the boy tossed her back into the hall with Deku. "Too bad shrimp. I'm not falling for the same trick a second time."

He propelled himself back down on the ground. "Thank you for your assistance Bakugou. I'm sure together that we can defeat them."

"I'm fine on my own. Didn't need your help in the first place."

The Ingenium pinched the bridge of his nose. "Don't argue Tenya." He said to himself. "He's here now. There's no way Izuku can fight us without hurting himself I'm pretty sure. He's had years to mature his quirk and the backlash even now is simply too much. Uraraka can be dealt with easily as well as long as I use the walls I can fight and Katsuki can still fly around. This win is ours."

"Seems like they put all their eggs in one basket." Momo whispered. "Or maybe it's better to say that they simply ran out of time?" She wondered. "Either way I firmly believe that his is the end for the hero team. Katsukui and Iida can't separate when their enemies are staring them in the face. If they do that they risk losing."

"I doubt this is the end to their plan." Leone engaged her. Momo looked at him from the side. " Moments like these are perfect for when the enemy think that they have won to pull out the trump card. The nail that'll put them in their coffins. If Izuku really wants to win he'll have to use that. His quirk is the only thing that can possibly save him and Ochako now."

"Rah!" Katsuki roared. He aimed for the green clad hero. "What the-?" Deku tied tape around the boy's leg. He pulled his leg out. He had forgotten that they had the stupid tape on them. The talented boy raised his arm again. "You're not going to beat me Deku." a blast escaped his finger tips filling the room but only the hero's half. He pushed the smoke aside. "You're still beneath m-augh!" He was in the air then on the ground.

His face smashed against the stainless steel then he was thrown. Ochacko reached for Tenya and jumped back colliding with Katsuki! They fell out the window. Again they went for the weapon only to be interfered again. Iida pulled his cohort in evil back into the room. "Deku!" He knocked the girl out of the way. "I'm getting tired," his voice rang out. "Of you," A stabbing punch, "And that damn look on your face," a blow to the stomach, "Wipe it off!" finally a roundhouse. "You're nothing! Haven't even used your damn quirk. Still think I'm a joke now." Deku flew backwards, nitro glycerine dripping off his clothing

A sullen look on his face. The bully beamed happily. That was the look that Deku deserved to have on his face. Those eyes and the look that he had on his face were reserved for people with true potential like Katsuki. It seemed as if he had finally given into defeat. He rose again, a hero always does. He wiped the blood off his lip and ushered for his attacker to take another swing. This took the cake.

A right hook. This was the end. Deku thought a smokescreen blinded his vision. He jumped. The faux villain winded up a punch. Izuku spun taking a guess as to where he would be attacking with his vision semi restored he attacked chopping his old friend's neck. He was on the ground. Izuku got on top his arm brimming with power. "I really didn't want things to turn out like this." The floor disappeared from underneath them, the weapon gone. Uraraka and Tenya separated and ran to their classmates.

A gaping hole was in place of the ground now. Izuku was out cold on. Bakugou after what seemed like forever finally took a breath. He found it hard to see that he was still alive. Nothing but darkness was beneath him. He noticed that something was falling down his cheek, a bug?" He flicked it. He scowled on his fingers tips was blood, his own. Upon further inspection it was a full blown cut. "The wind pressure?" He picked up Izuku's body. "You rat!" His gloves burned hot.

"Stop it Bakugou!" Tenya restrained him. "The bout's over, the weapon's gone."

"Leave him alone Bakugou! You won. We didn't get the weapon. I'm sorry Deku," She ran over to him. "I couldn't go through with the plan."

Katsuki slung the body back onto the ground and shoved his hands into his pockets. "That's right. I won. I will always, win!"

The recovery bots were sent in. The three children with minor injuries rejoined the rest of the class. Izuku was sent to the infirmary. "Good thing that's been taken care of." Their teacher nodded. "You performed well Young Midoriya. Time to discuss! Who would like to point out what both teams could have done better in their approach and fights."

The mature teenager raised her hand. "I think that-"

Leone spoke up. "I'll start with the heroes. They started off well putting Kacchan out of commission for a little while when they first engaged him, however instead of simply leaving him there and pressing on they should have stopped to tie him up. It may have been risky due to his strength but in the long run it's quite possible that this could get them hurt. In another course of action they could have blocked up the stairways with random debris. They were too hasty. I won't make the same stupid mistakes. Now for the v-"

Momo interjected. "The villains should have made a better attempt to work together. Katsuki made a grave error in engaging both heroes alone and while he may be powerful he is still only one person. Working with Iida would have granted them a greater chance for victory. Luckily enough Katsuki was able to maneuver around and ultimately force Ochacko to get him back on the ground. Tenya held the two heroes off long enough for his partner to return. After that it was a contest of strength and by the winners we all know who won."

The number one hero slowly raised his thumb. "Good for both of you! Gold stars. I wanted to explain a little but but they took everything. Next up," He rebounded. "Teams B hero side, team C villains! Head on over!" They did. "Alright you know the rules. Things get out of hand I'll step in, villains you have five minutes to set up. Heroes wait for my signal then strike!"

The three villains entered the building. "So we're up against Todoroki. I'm worried about our chances. He and Shouji's power combined may overwhelm us even with strong defenses."

"Don't worry about that Momo all you gotta do is flash your boobs and-"

The two tuned their horny classmate out. "Don't worry about them. I've got a plan."

"Mind telling me what it is then?"

"Psh! No," Leone stated. "just sit back and do whatever it is you have on your mind no matter how frivolous. This is where I shine."
