Hello, and welcome to the next chapter!

hellspam; Thanks! Yeah, it was a sweet moment huh~? Hehe, he did have some fun reactions to their costumes huh~? They did yeah, Katsuki was pissed off, and dished out nicknames for them left and right, some pretty accurate~ She did yeah, she's gonna be needing another knife now, she might get an even better one now. Hehe, Himiko probably would say something like that~ Yeah, she probably would be a teacher, especially after a certain event that's going on. I'm thinking after the USJ, but we might see her before that within the school~ Ooh yeah, I am sure that Mineta especially would try something, and maybe some of the other boys as well~

LoamyCoffee; Thanks very much!

The Harem God; Yeah, she's going to have quite the reaction, and Kenji's going to help there. Camie, she's be a good choice yeah, I'll think about it~

KobayashiSenpai; Hehe, they surely are! Katsuki's pulling ahead for now, but the others shall have a few good stories around them as well. Simple yes, effective as well as we'll see~ Ooh yeah, Momo and Kenji will have quite the combination during this fight, and showcases their Quirk's, and intelligence as well. Yeah, it's going to be developing a good part of the Kenji/Shoto romance. Toru is very bold! Tsuyu is quite the fun character to write for. Yeah, he'll show them all love as he falls for them. And yeah, it's going to be quite the thing~ And thanks!

ShadowUzumaki55; Thanks! Yeah, Momo and Kenji are going stronger all of the time. And yeah, he's got a few friends within UA. Baby steps indeed, he'll gain their favour as the story goes on. Indeed, it is going to be quite the thing, between them. Yeah, I could see that happening. Hehe, I guess so yeah~

Guest 1; Yeah, it is going to be quite the fun when she finally does~ Hehe, that would be pretty funny, I could see Mt Lady trying that. And yeah, Tsu could do that as well. And it could do yeah~

Guest 2; Yeah, you never know, she could have written many things in her diary~

Striker Studios; Thanks very much! He surely is huh~? Maybe in the future, I'd have to watch those series before doing anything, but what I have watched before, I liked so there's a possibility yeah~

1jesus; Hey, thanks very much~ Yeah, I'll have to watch the series, before saying yes, or no, but I like what I've seen of some of the franchise, so I'll think about it~

King of heroes; Yeah, you're probably right, he would be quite the person for such a name~

Guest 3; Ooh yeah, there's going to be quite a few fun moments in the future. He'd be aware, it's pretty common knowledge who Kenji's Mother is, even a perv like Mineta would know it. Hehe, that would be funny~ I think they would love her as well. Yeah, he has a so-so relationship with Hikari, he doesn't hate her, but he doesn't go gaga over her like most people do. I could see that happening~

AlphaOmega; Indeed, he knows how capable Kenji is, and as he said, he didn't have anything planned. Indeed it is yeah, they have quite the relationship between the two of them. Slowly, but surely, they are seeing that yeah. They are indeed, and you'll find out within the chapter~

Nobody important; Yeah, I like those voices for those characters, I don't see why not~

Guest 4; Ooh yeah, Izuku and Kenji are going to team up during the series, and fight enemies together.

Guest 5; They'd probably do that, and I could totally see Himiko doing things of that nature.

Guest 6; Actually, yeah I would be, since some of the girls, like Mina and Toru really don't have many focuses in the series itself, so I'll be doing at least a chapter or two focused on them, along with Jiro and other members of the harem as well. And yeah, that would be a good idea~ Hehe, that would be funny~

Anime PJ; Yeah, it did, Kenji ain't a fool~ It was pretty fun, they'll have plenty more of fun and weird interactions in the future. Indeed, that Midnight, truly a perv huh~? And thanks!

Guest 7; Yeah, I suppose that's how I see it~

Guest 8; Cool, I shall do~

Silver crow; Thanks very much! Hehe, I was thinking similar things before the chapter was released, based on what we've seen on Aizawa and Shinso in the background. Yeah, Kenji helped out Tsuyu the best that he could, and they're a little closer because of it. They always have some pretty fun interactions. Indeed, he showed that he can keep calm under such situations. Hehe, Toru's always there~ Indeed yeah, that's not the last time they'll have a fight, and it isn't the last time Kenji is going to meet Himiko either~ The glasses have a purpose, which we'll see in this chapter. Yeah, so have I, it was fun to write, not gonna lie. And yeah, Momo is his partner~ Hehe, well here they are~ Yeah, maybe she could do something like that~ And yeah, maybe they could~ And yeah, they probably would as well~ And yeah, he could do~

Guest 9; Yeah, I don't see why not, she could do. And yeah, that could be a cool way to do it too~

Ragna; I don't see why not, he probably would bring something like that up. Yeah, that's how it is, perhaps I will.

Guest 10; She could do yeah, I don't see why not. It could do yeah, Hikari can heal people, though in a different way to Recovery Girl. Those would be cool outfits, thanks for the suggestion!

AlphaOmega; Well, it has been stated that All Might isn't the best when it comes to lessons, and he trusts Kenji to help him out, so he leaned on him for this. Hehe, indeed, what's going to happen there? Though there is a few people that might want to do that. He really doesn't no, and that's not going to be the last time that he tries to get Kenji either. Yeah, even if Kenji wants that deep inside of him, he knows what path he needs to take.

Guest 11; Ooh yeah, I can't say when, but they'll team up at least once during the story.

Guest 12; Hehe, I could see that happening, and that would be pretty funny, she just carries all these knives with her.

BloodChamp; Thanks! Yeah, it was, Kenji apologized though~ It does for the moment, as that's what he's more comfortable with. But, as he begins accepting his Death side, he's going to have his costume upgraded to accommodate for that as well. Yeah, that would be a cool name. And perhaps when I see those series~ And thanks!

Guest 13; I could actually see her being like that, it would be pretty interesting. And yeah, you're probably right about that honestly. And I agree, that's one of the funny quotes I like from Hancock.

Guest 14; I've only ever watched the films, and read the first book. So, I don't know if I would, I have liked what I've seen/read before, so it is possible for the future. Yeah, I think you're right, I'm not 100 percent, but I think you're right. And that would be pretty cool. And yeah, that would be a good reason for a harem and all~ Thanks for the suggestion~

Guest 15; Ooh yeah, there will be scenes like that in the coming future. It would be in character for her and it would be funny to see Midnight and Mt Lady going at it~

Well, with nothing else to say, it is time to start the chapter!


The trial of battle!

"Life Chains!"

Hikari announced, wearing her doctors outfit, but she was in the middle of a Villain attack. Chains of Life energy erupt from her body, and bind around the enemies, chaining them together, and knocking them out in the process, as a Villain tried to ambush her from behind, but with her physical prowess, she jumps into the air, and twirls, kicking the man in the back of the head, and down onto the ground, where she binds him as well.

Looking around her, she saw a few Pro Hero's were injured, and beaten down. But, she looked as if she didn't have a scratch on her.

And it was the same for a man with a flaming mustache as well, his hulking body bending down towards Hikari.

"Ah, thank you for coming Vitality!"

Hikari giggled awkwardly, waving off the man.

"Ooh, don't worry Endeavour-chan, my pleasure. Seems like these were tough ones huh."

"Not that I couldn't do it myself, just wanted to make sure you were here just in case."

Hikari slightly nodded at Endeavour, and rotates her shoulder.

"Good thing it didn't take long."

"Yes, I agree. Incidentally, while you're not busy, would you like to get lunch?"

Hikari offered a kind smile, but rejected with a wave of her hand.

"Oh, I would, but I've got surgery to perform in about..." She looked at her watch, and grimaced. "...twenty minutes. Wonderful. After that, I've got to get down to the psych ward, to check on a few people I help out there, and then I've got another surgery at four, busy day."

"I see...then dinner, after work. As gratitude for giving me a helping hand."

"Ooh, Endeavour-chan, I would, but I've got an appointment this evening, call it a dinner arrangement."

"Tch, with that Demon chi-"

SPRAY!

"First of all, don't call my son a Demon child." Hikari pulled the fire extinguisher away, having coated Endeavour's head with the foam. "And second, no, it isn't with Kenji, he's going to be with Kacchan probably, or Midoriya-kun, he'll tell me later. No, I'm going to dinner with All Might, we meet up from time to time to discuss, many different things. Would you like to come?"

Endeavour showed an annoyed face, tightening his hand.

"I'll pass if it is all the same."

"I see...o-ooh! I heard not long ago, your little girl...erm, Shoto-chan, she's in the same class as Kenji, isn't she?"

"I guess. I don't much care."

Hikari rolled her eyes.

"No, I'm just saying, I think they'd totally get along great! Since they are both half and half people with the Quirk's, what unique children."

Endeavour placed a hand on his chin and thought about it.

"Yes...you're right, they would get along rather well...though, a fight between Shoto and Demon..." Hikari raised the fire extinguisher, causing Endeavour to pull away with slight fear. "...your boy, my daughter would win."

Hikari twirled her hair.

"I dunno, my Kenji is pretty strong and smart."

Endeavour twitched his eyebrow.

"Is that so?"

"Yup, that's how it is."

Hikari answered with a beaming smile.

"I see. Well, he does have your beautiful Quirk, so he's got half a soul in him."

"Fire extinguisher Endeavour-chan, don't make me use it."

Endeavour actually cringed, as the police took away the Villain's.

"Right...anyway, once again, thank you for coming, I'll have to buy you dinner sometime."

"Sure, that would be fun~ Maybe we could have Kenji and Shoto-chan become good friends as well, it would be so cute~"

Endeavour furrowed his eyebrows, and thought about what she said...


"Alright!" All Might announced with a large booming voice through the microphone that was before him within the control room. "Lets begin the Indoor Combat Training! Team A and Team D! Your time starts now!"

With that, the teams began their objectives...or rather, Kenji saw that Katsuki wasn't really following along with Iida. It seemed like Iida had the right idea, and wanted to stay with the bomb, while making a strategy, but she took off running to go and find Izuku, he knew what he said before might help her...or, it might not even register, he knew that she would have to see for herself, she just hoped that no one got seriously injured, or worse through this battle trial.

"Come on Deku-kun...Kacchan...it's times like these when I don't know who I am supposed to be cheering for...ugh, this is going to suck either way..." His eyes shifted to All Might who watched with keen interest. "I also hope that he does step in before it becomes too late and not allow it to drag on, but All Might is interested in the growth of Deku-kun...maybe I should step in...but, I don't want to overstep...I'll just have to do it if something bad happens."

Kenji's thoughts were on what was going on and how the fight might take place. He could see several scenarios on where the fight might lead to quite the dangerous zones. Izuku was the type to harm himself to use his powers, and Katsuki was a close range fighter with her Quirk, but so was Izuku.

"Soooo! It seems like the rivals are going head to head huh!"

Mina said aloud as Kenji and the other members of Class 1A all sat in a room with the monitors before them. They could see Katsuki, Iida, Izuku and Ochaco all within the building. It hadn't been long since their match had begun, and they weren't wasting time.

Toru, who was completely naked, and invisible, strolled over towards Kenji and stood before him. Because she didn't make a noise, he didn't even realize that she was there, and he was staring basically at her boobs.

"Hehehe, Kenji-kun is so wild, to look at my bare chest like that. He's such a little pervy boy, but I like that about Kenji-kun~"

She sang to herself within her mind and decided to stay where she was.

"It sucks that we don't have any sound."

Kirishima added, watching it was quite dull.

Kenji hummed to himself, and stood up. Casually, he went towards the console, or tried too as he did, his hand came into contact with something very soft, and firm. His eyes scanned the room, hoping that no one had noticed anything.

Though he couldn't see where Toru was, she wasn't wearing her gloves or anything…

Then he realized what he was touching.

Soft, firm...and he definitely felt a nipple on his palm.

"W-Why is she doing this to me? A-And why does she seem okay with me groping her by mistake...ooh crap, I only wanted to fix the sound issue, I didn't think it would go into things like this..."

He cried mentally, pulling his hand away, as a small moan was released from Toru.

"Hey, did anyone just hear a moaning sound?"

Tsuyu questioned, as Kenji danced his way around Toru who moaned once more with a sad sounding voice.

He then began typing away on the console, to the bemusement of All Might, and the questioning looks of the others as well.

"What's he doing?"

Jiro questioned aloud, as Kenji continued on.

Then, a few seconds later, the speakers kicked in.

[We should be careful, Uraraka-san.]

[Y-You're right Deku, it might be dangerous, they could come from anywhere.]

The class looked surprised with the voice of Izuku and Ochaco coming out.

Kenji yawned, as he sat back down between Momo and Shoto.

"How did you do that?"

Sero, the boy with tape shooting from his shoulders, quizzed Kenji who rotated his shoulder.

"It wasn't that hard, just had to bypass some security measures, the speakers are in the building, I checked before we came, and it isn't hard to tap into them to make them broadcast the sound and all. Well, now we have sound, I think that's good, isn't it?" Kenji's question was left hanging as he sat down, besides Momo who snickered. "Had a lot of free time on my hands, no friends, so I learned a few things~"

He said it with a gleeful expression, while All Might turned his head towards Kenji briefly, smiling at the sight, and then he coughed into his hand.

"Haha, as Mikami said, that's quite the showcase of intelligence."

Kenji chuckled lightly, waving his hand.

"Yeah, no worries All Might-sensei, just want to appease the crowd. What's fun about just watching it, hearing it enhances the experience as well."

All Might had to agree, and his eyes went back to the monitors.

"Hey, Ken-chan, who do you think is going to win?"

Momo, who was sat next to Kenji, Shoto was on the other side, questioned the young boy.

"Well, if Kacchan and Iida-san worked together, then I would believe in their chances more because their Quirk's are strong, and Deku-kun can't really control his, you saw what happened with the Quirk Assessment Test, and all. However...Kacchan seems to have taken it upon herself to settle a score she has with Deku-kun so...well, I currently don't know."

Momo stroked her chin as she thought about what he said.

"I tend to agree with you. So far, it seems like Bakugo-san isn't doing as the assignment has been asked of her."

Kenji couldn't agree more with what Momo said and continued to watch on.

"Even if she hasn't, Kacchan isn't a weakling, she knows her powers, she knows how to use them...I just hope they don't go too far, it is only a trial after all."

Shoto spared a glance for Kenji who bit his thumb in worry for what was going to happen.


Izuku and Ochaco continued speaking around as best as they could given the circumstances. With blind spots, it would be hard to find out where the opponent would be. But, Kenji had faith in Izuku, yet he wanted to cheer for Katsuki to win as well.

It truly was at times like these, he would have a hard road to go down.

But, then as they were walking, around the corner, Katsuki jumps out. With a grunting noise, she came down from the heights of the ceiling, and rushed down towards them. With quick thinking, Izuku grabs Ochaco, and throws them both towards the left, as Katsuki's hand slams against the wall, blowing parts of it away with her destructive Quirk.

[Are you alright Uraraka-san?]

Izuku asked, Kenji seeing that half the mask he wore got blown away by Katsuki's attack.

[Y-Yes, I'm fine.]

She answered, rubbing her head gently.

"She almost got the jump on him!"

Jiro announced, taking a keen interest in the fight.

Kirishima placed his hands together.

"Sneak attack, Bakugo? What kind of person pulls that cheap crap?"

"A smart one." Kenji spoke up, the others giving him a questioning look. "I'm not going to deny that what we're about to probably see is Kacchan's anger...but, she's no fool. You do anything it takes to win, to use anything to your advantage. And right now, she's supposed to be the Villain, which gives her more right to use a sneak attack."

The others listened intently, while All Might smiled to himself.

"She didn't get him though! Midoriya-kun dodged it!"

Mina smiled out, while Momo furrowed her eyebrows.

"Yes, even then, this fight could still be..."

Momo didn't have time to finish as Katsuki charged for Izuku, her right arm being the one which was going to strike. Kenji knew that move all too well, she always went with the right hook at first, and Izuku seemed to know of it as well, as he got close to her, and blocked her shot.

[What!?]

Katsuki yelled angrily, as Izuku went into her body, twisting around with her arm caught.

[Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!]

Pulling with all his might, he hauled her over his shoulder, and flung her down to the ground. Katsuki spat out spit as her body collided with the ground, Kenji was relieved that he managed to do that, but at the same time didn't want to see Katsuki in any pain.

"All that time Deku-kun spent admiring Hero's, he took in to account everything, and he knows Kacchan well. He knows what kind of move she's going to make, and she fell for the trap. Come on Kacchan, I know you're smarter than this...don't let your pride get in the way."

Kenji was snapped out of his thoughts when Izuku, who was panting from doing that, looked on towards the floored Katsuki.

[Y-You can call me Deku, but I'm not the same helpless, defenceless kid I used to be! Because from here on out, that name is a Hero's name!]

Though he declared that boldly, Kenji could see that he was shaking, and for good reason. He couldn't use his Quirk that well. And Katsuki was able to use her Quirk in many different ways, and that was what terrified him the most.

Katsuki's eyes flared angrily, and turned themselves to Izuku. Her body left the floor, and her hands fell to the side of her. With Ochaco behind her, she was determined to take care of Izuku right there and then, mini explosions going off around her hands.

[Tch, even as you stand there, you're shaking Deku! Yet, you want to fight me anyway despite being so scared! That's what I hate about you!]

Kenji lowered his eyes, knowing that she was allowing her anger to take the better of her, when he knew she would be so much better if she used that anger in a productive way, rather than allowing it to be just unleashed as it was.

[Bakugo-san! Come in Bakugo-san! What's your status!?]

Iida called through the radio within his ear to her own one.

Katsuki showed an annoyed face, placing her hand to her ear.

[Shut up Pencil! Just guard the damn weapon, I've got this!]

Kenji cracked a smile at how she called him Pencil even now.

[I wish you wouldn't call me Pencil! Please don't call me Pencil! And you shouldn't be going off on your own-]

[Pencil! Do shut up!]

"So...is anyone else wondering why she calls him Pencil?"

Tsuyu brought up, the others getting into a questioning stare.

"Is no one wondering why she has a radio in her ear at all?"

All Might brought up, with Kenji chuckling.

"It's because you gave it to both teams, along with a map of the building, and some capture tape." He explained, to the happiness of Momo who always enjoyed Kenji showing his intelligence. "Using that capture tape, takes them out of the game, am I right All Might-sensei?"

"Y-Yes, that's right. But don't forget the time limit!"

"Yeah, the time limit! The good guys have no idea where the bomb is, nor do they have any idea where the enemy could be! That's totally a disadvantage!"

Mina complained, so Kenji spoke up once more.

"Most often than not, Hero's are at disadvantages, Mina-san." Kenji continued once the eyes of the others were on his form. "The Hero's here are to be doing their best to work together and find the bomb and touch it before the time runs out. If they don't touch it, then the Villain's win. It is the way of life for most Pro's to face challenges like this and if we're going to be Pro's, then we will have to face these challenges as well."

"Couldn't of said it better myself Ken-chan."

Momo smiled out, she always did like speaking to Kenji, he always could keep up with her with his intelligence, and they would have quite, nice conversations and could always plan together, among other things as well.

"Aaah! You're so smart Kenji-kun! That's why I like you~"

Mina giggled, and gave the boy a hug, to the ire of the other males in the class, especially Mineta who really was afraid of Kenji.

"Hehe, no, it is no worries at all."

He assured, giving her a pet on the head, minding the horns.

Then, their eyes went back to the monitor, to see Katsuki's hand backwards. Kenji knew what this meant, and so did Izuku from the way that his eyes were looking.

[Ugh! Uraraka-san! Go!]

Ochaco nodded, and took off as Katsuki propelled herself towards Izuku. The boy could see where she was going to go, so he threw up his arms, and blocked her kick which went for his face.

However, Izuku had the capture tape at the ready, and was wrapping it around Katsuki's leg, making her eyes widen.

[Damn you bastard!]

Katsuki wasn't having any of it, and brought up her arm. Izuku, using his Hero knowledge, and the knowledge of Katsuki, ducked, and dodged to the left, as her hand embedded itself into the wall, creating an explosion which tore through the wall.

"Damn! He's holding his own and he hasn't even used his Quirk yet!"

Sero mentioned as Kenji tightened his hands.

"Go Deku-kun! Go Kacchan! Show good sportsmanship out there!"

Kenji cheered, seeing Izuku doing the smart thing and taking off. Katsuki wasn't thrilled about that and gave chase after him, becoming more pissed off as she had been beforehand.

Shoto's eyes turned towards Kenji, and saw the worry on his face.

"Why do you look so worried?"

Kenji's eyes turned towards Shoto and adopted a small smile.

"Because they're my friends, I'd be worried about any of my friends going into fights like this, especially with the bad blood between these two. I just don't want anyone to be hurt."

Shoto's eyes scanned the young boy as Momo looked towards Kenji as well.

[You've been laughing at me behind my back for years Deku!] Katsuki yelled, Kenji's eyes went towards the screen sadly. [Well, you wont anymore, I'll show you that Quirk or no Quirk, you wont be able to beat me! You never will!]

Kenji lowered his eyebrows, and thought about what she said.

"Kacchan, you really have so much pride, you can't see that Deku-kun looks up to you as a strong person. Even I can tell that. Though you might not be friends...at least see that hating him isn't the right way to go about it."

Though he knew she would have to learn her own way and time, he was going to continue supporting her no matter what.

"That girl has real anger issues, it's kind of scary."

Kaminari spoke up with a slightly fearful look.

Kenji shook his head however.

"It isn't just anger in general, it is anger for Deku-kun. Because...well, that's Kacchan's private thoughts, it isn't for me to say why...but, she's so determined."

"She's crazy."

Kaminari spoke up once more, Kenji shook his head, and continued watching Izuku hiding away as best as he could, and Katsuki blowing down doors so she could find what she needed to find.

"It seems that right now, Midoriya-san is playing bait, wouldn't you agree Ken-chan?"

Kenji nodded his head at what Momo said.

"Yes, he knows that Kacchan is going for him, so he's giving time to Uraraka-san to go and get the weapon. He might have a plan with Uraraka-san that we aren't privy too. All I do know is that if he stays there for too long, then she's going to find him, and the fight isn't going to be pretty. Call Kacchan what you want, but in a fight, she's a tactical genius, she's got a handle on her Quirk, she knows what her limitations are, and she knows about Deku-kun and his way as well to a certain extent. If anything, they both are setting one another up so they can have the best kind of fight. But, Deku-kun is avoiding using his Quirk...though he's not going to be able to do that forever."

"No matter how much he thinks it will hurt him, he knows that he'll have to use it eventually, and he's trying to find the best way to use it."

Momo added on, Kenji agreeing with the others just giving them odd glances. Even All Might was as well, since he didn't even think about what they were saying, and had to admit that Momo and Kenji weren't bad together, and might show off some good movements themselves.


Kenji turned his eyes back to the screens to see that Ochaco had made it towards the bomb room. Somehow, she managed to sneak in, while Iida was muttering to himself. Kenji watched as Iida said something to make Ochaco laugh, which he thought was a little of a rookie mistake. Then again, he didn't know if he would do the same thing during the fight as well.

Upon noticing her, his eyes turned towards the pillar she was at.

[Uraraka-san, is that you?] Her body stiffened, as Iida, who acted like a Villain the best he could, raised his hands and spoke in a maniacal laughter. [Your Quirk allows you to float anything you touch with your hands! But, I've prepared for that and removed every object within the room so you have nothing to use against me do-gooder! Mwhahahahahaha!]

"Impressive, he's the only one thinking about his side seriously right now. Don't you think so..." Her eyes went to Kenji who held a hand to his mouth. "W-What are you laughing at?"

Kenji's eyes slyly went to Momo.

"His evil laugh sounds like a witches cackle."

Momo cracked up, but didn't allow her giggle to escape her throat, no matter how much she wanted it too.

Then, Ochaco called Izuku over the ear radio.

[Deku, I've found him.]

[Where are you?]

[In the middle of the sixth floor.]

She spoke back as Iida walked closer to the young girl.


Izuku on the other hand looked upwards, since he was on the fifth floor, and where his position was, he knew where he had to go.

Taking out the tape to capture her, he looked around the corner...but, became surprised when he heard a sound coming from behind him.

[So, I've found the bug.]

Izuku gasped, and turned around to see Katsuki there. Her bracer was glowing red, and her eyes focused deeply onto Izuku, as if she was going to crush him.

[K-Kacchan! I'm not going to run away from you!]

[That's right, I'm all loaded up now.] Her eyes turned wild, as she held up her bracer. [Don't you see, I secrete a nitroglycerin like sweat from my hands. These bracer's aren't just for show, they store all that sweat within them, for one big burst.]

Katsuki hand went upwards, and she put her finger on the trigger, ready to pull it for one big massive attack. Kenji tightened his hands, and turned to All Might.

"You've got to stop it, that could kill him! Deku-kun might not be able to survive something like that!"

"Yeah, you're right, that's going too far." All Might leaned closer to the mic, and called into it. "Young Bakugo, don't pull that! You'll kill him!"

[He'll be fine as long as he dodges!]

She called manically and looked ready to do something that she might regret if Izuku truly didn't manage to dodge it in time, Kenji unable to sit by and do nothing, grabbed the mic and held it to his mouth.

"Don't do it Kacchan! You want to be a Hero, this isn't the Hero's way! Think before doing it! Remember the training exercise!"

Katsuki's finger, literally seconds from pulling the trigger...stopped, and looked upwards. Though she couldn't see him, she knew he was watching her, concerned for her well being. It was evident within his voice that was what he was for her.

[...Fine, I'll beat him the old fashioned way! I'll fight you with my hands!]

Katsuki didn't hold back and jumped forward using explosions to propel herself forward at a very fast speed.

"Sorry All Might, I just had to..."

All Might shook his head.

"No, this time, you did the right thing."

Kenji was relieved All Might wasn't pissed off at him.

Izuku turned heels, and ran away, as Kenji noticed that Uraraka couldn't grab the bomb. Iida was using his speed to move the bomb around out of her grasp. Wondering where he was going for a few moments, Izuku managed to dodge the large attack from Katsuki and enter a new larger room with the young girl following after him.

Kenji then noticed that where Izuku ran too, and where Ochaco was, within the building, right near the windows, he chuckled.

"So that's their plan...crude, yet effective."

Momo turned towards Kenji, and then went close to his ear.

"I think I know their plan, it is to do with Midoriya-sans Quirk, yes? And where they are in the building?"

"I think so, he's planning to use it to...yeah, that's what it is Momo-chan, quite smart, yet within the parameter's of the training match, also highly dangerous. Good thing that thing isn't a real bomb or something huh."

Momo nodded slowly, as Izuku readied a straight punch. However, while in the air, Katsuki thrust a hand to the side, and propelled herself with an explosion. Kenji had seen her do this before, it was something she could do because of her Quirk.

Izuku watched as Katsuki bounced off a wall, and used an explosion to propel herself towards him. Before she could make it, Izuku pulled out a single marble. All Might looked confused, but Izuku tossed the marble into the air.

[A good friend said that this would be a good way for me to fight as well! So have this!]

Izuku channeled the power of One For All through his finger. Then, with a precise movement, he slammed the marble so hard that the air pressure built around it. The marble went flying for Katsuki, who couldn't change trajectory in time, and was slammed in the shoulder with the marble, and because of the force behind it, the girls body was blown backwards, slamming against the ground as the marble broke through the wall.

Katsuki put a hand to her shoulder, and winced, while Kenji mentally apologized to the young girl and saw Izuku's finger being a little messed up as well because of that movement. But, he was glad that he managed to help out, even if a little bit.

Kenji saw All Might turn his eyes towards him. Without words, they exchanged information, with All Might knowing that it was Kenji who had supplied Izuku with that knowledge on how to do that, and gave a chuckle.

[You damn bastard! I know you didn't come up with that!]

[I-I well...a friend did!]

[You don't have any friends besides that Minion, Pencil up there, and Ken! It was Ken, wasn't it!?]

Kenji slapped himself in the forehead, as Izuku nodded slowly.

[E-Even then, he is my friend so he would help me!]

Izuku yelled out, causing Kenji to stiffen, wondering what others would think about it.

The class, who had been listening in, all looked towards Kenji who felt suddenly very uncomfortable.

"Whoa, you taught him how to do that?"

Mina questioned, Kenji shrugging.

"I gave my opinion, is all. Deku-kun put in the work for it, he's always training."

"Amazing, even though we don't know his Quirk, you managed to help him invent a good move all his own. Launching projectiles as strong as that would result in a good movement. I am impressed, Mikami-kun."

Shoto praised Kenji for his intelligence, and knew that he would be quite the opponent.

"W-Well, thank you..."

"Hey, could you come up with an idea for my cool Quirk~?"

Kaminari asked, as Jiro leaned forward.

"Before him, come up with one for me, okay Mikami-kun?"

"No way, do it for me Kenji-kun!"

Mina cheered, as Sero put his thumb forward.

"I have a cool Quirk, come up with an idea for me too, alright?"

"Naaaah, he's got to come up with one for me! Man among men, that's what we are, right Mikami?"

Kirishima added, as Tokoyami leaned forward.

"Certainly, the mind of Mikami is as vast as the oceans themselves. I myself would like to hear your thoughts on my own Quirk."

Tsuyu jumped forward, and got into Kenji's face.

"I've got a Frog Quirk, so you'd be able to think of something for me too, right?"

Kenji watched as most of the class forgot about their awkwardness with him and began asking for his advice.

"Erm...w-well...we could...have a brainstorming session sometime..."

[Yeah!]

The class cheered, as Kenji's cheeks burned red a little bit. Somehow, because of his intelligent mind, they seemed to have forgotten most of their prejudice against him and wished for his help, which since they were classmates, he was more than happy to do, even Momo had to admire that about Kenji, and was glad that people were beginning to see what she saw, All Might couldn't contain his smile as well, though Kenji could feel that they still felt unsure about him as a person, but if they were willing to at least give him a chance, then he was happy.

However, Katsuki then tossed her eyes towards Izuku.

[Even then, it doesn't matter, cheap tricks wont work with me!]

Katsuki rocketed herself forward. Izuku tightened his hand and threw his fist forward. However, at the last second, Katsuki threw her hand up, and created an explosion. Because of the smoke, it blinded Izuku, which allowed her to propel herself over his body. Getting behind him, she set off an explosion with her hand furthest away from Izuku, thrusting her body forward, and then put her hand closest to him, setting off an explosion that slammed against his back.

[Ngh!]

Izuku let out a hard breath, but Katsuki wasn't done yet.

[This is that famous right hand you were worried about before!]

Katsuki brings down her right arm against Izuku's own, causing the boy to cry out, Kenji didn't even know if his arm had been fractured or what from that, but it seemed painful. Then she grabs onto Izuku's arm and slams him into the ground after using explosions from her free hand to build up momentum.

All of it caused Kenji to wince and worry for his friend. And from what he could see with Ochaco, she wasn't doing much better. Though, Iida didn't use his Quirk to torture the young girl, like Katsuki seemed to be doing to Izuku.

Izuku got off the ground, with a pant, and pulled away from Katsuki. He ran towards the wall, as his classmates questioned what he was doing. Kenji and Momo however already figured out what was going to happen, so they merely watched on.

[You think you're better than me! Hiding it all these years! It wont matter today!]

Kenji looked towards Izuku, and saw that he was shaking. He even was crying as well. He knew this must be hard on him, no matter what was happening. Kenji could understand that quite well as well. Though he didn't know what was going to happen next.

[Kacchan, you've always been stronger than me! Better than me! That's why I want to beat you because you're amazing!]

[Come on then Deku!]

Katsuki and Izuku charged at one another. Katsuki's hand was ready to explode Izuku, while Izuku's arm had tightened and the veins of his power went across his entire arm. Kenji looked towards All Might who's hands were tightened.

Even with the kids complaining behind him, he could see it within Izuku's eyes, and knew he had some idea, as did Kenji. And that came true when he placed a hand to his ear.

He spoke to Ochaco who grabbed a nearby pillar. Iida didn't know what was happening. Izuku on the other hand lined his punch up, and as the two neared one another, his fist went upwards, and a brilliant air pressure smashed upwards. The windows, the ceiling was broken apart with the incredible attack that he used, while Katsuki was left stood there, visibly stunned.

Ochaco however, used his chance to use her Quirk on the pillar, and use it like a bat. Sending debris towards the enemy, Iida didn't know what to do. However, Ochaco used the distraction to jump, float herself over towards the bomb, and hug onto it, smiling as she did so.

Iida couldn't believe it.

However, Katsuki was the one who already knew what the outcome was, and her eyes widened. She looked so stunned, she didn't even know what to do, and saw the injuries she had caused Izuku as a result of him punching upwards. Because of that, he had passed out.

"You did it, the Hero team!" With time up, All Might raised his voice. "WINS!"

"Hey isn't that great..." Momo turned to Kenji, but he had already gone. "K-Ken-chan?"

She looked around, but she couldn't see him.


Kenji rushed towards the battle sight, to see the devastating damage. He saw the visibly shaking Katsuki, who looked as if she was going to fall over. Even though she wasn't really hurt, Kenji could tell that there was something going on inside of her.

His eyes went towards Izuku, and walked over towards him. Already, Izuku had fallen unconscious from the injuries he suffered, so he brushed a strand of hair out of his face, and checked him over.

"Geez Deku-kun...what am I going to do with your recklessness huh...but, well done, you proved something today, I'm very proud."

As the young boy checked over Izuku, some robots came. Medical type robots. It seemed All Might had called them.

The young boy looked towards them, as they put him on a stretcher and explained to the robots the injuries he could see.

Katsuki on the other hand looked as if she was going to pass out. Her eyes flickered, and her heart was jumping in her chest.

Kenji looked towards her, and saw she was still shaking. He knew what this was. He didn't want her to suffer, of course he didn't. But, he knew that this lesson would have to be learned, as he himself once learned it, the hard way.

Kenji walked over as many thoughts ran through her mind. He could see that she was breathing harder and harder, as if she was going to hyper ventilate. But, before she could continue, Kenji placed a hand on her shoulder, causing her eyes to meet his own.

"It's okay now Kacchan, it is all over with now. Win, lose, every experience teaches you something. Keep calm, okay?"

Katsuki's hands shook, so he grasped her hands, and pulled her closer. His arms went around the visibly shaking girl, and cradled her head against his shoulder, stroking her blonde hair, and whispered "It's okay now." again and again, hoping that it would soothe her, and in ways, it truly did begin to soothe her.


Later on, minus Izuku due to being injured, everyone was in the monitoring room. Kenji's hand firmly held Katsuki's hand, who still looked out of it, he understood why. He didn't say anything right away, because he knew she'd have to process it before he could say anything.

"Well, despite the results..." All Might's eyes went towards Iida. "The MVP of the match was young Iida!"

Iida looked stunned that All Might said that.

"HUH!?"

"Shouldn't it be the Hero's since they won the match?"

Kenji heard Tsuyu ask, as Katsuki's head leaned upon his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around her, sitting down with her, and allowed her to continue leaning on him for support.

"Hmm, valid question..." His eyes went towards Kenji who kept stroking Katsuki's hair. "Young Mikami, would you like to explain?"

"Ehehe...well, Momo-chan is better at public speaking and we were speaking about it before, so she knows why better than anyone. Besides, I tend to ramble when people look at me, so go for it Momo-chan~"

Momo nodded and began.

"Of course Ken-chan. I can tell you why All Might-sensei. Iida-san embraced the challenge. He was the only one who adapted to the assignments role. I'll explain. Bakugo-san judgement was clouded with a personal grudge against Midoriya-san, and though she didn't pull it, if she had pulled that trigger, the chances of Midoriya-sans survival could have been limited. Similarly, Midoriya-san's plan was also poorly thought out considering the amount of damage he received. He rendered himself helpless. Not smart. As for Uraraka-san, she let her guard down mid-battle. And her final attack was far too reckless given the hypothetical stakes. If she had treated the fake weapon as if it was real, she never would have risked an imprecise move. Iida-san on the other hand, while he failed, was fully prepared for the opponents arrival, he had a strategy, and never lost sight of his mission to protect the bomb."

Iida's eyes turned teary, full of joy, while Ochaco giggled awkwardly. Katsuki didn't know what to say, or even what to think, and knew that Momo was right, even if it was something that she hated to admit.

Momo then continued.

"Technically, this was training, and they took advantage of it, the Hero team. In a real combat scenario, this would have been too hazardous, and they lost the spirit of the trial in the first place."

All Might looked, and seemed quite impressed with Momo and her words.

Kenji himself looked on with a sly smile on his face, and mentally praised Momo.

"...Okay then, now it is time to move onto the next round!" All Might put his hand into the Villain's, and Hero's boxes, and pulled out two balls. One with 'B' and one with 'C' on it. "My, it seems that we have the next fight! Team B are the Villain's and Team C are the Hero's!"

"Ooh no, we're Team C...and Team B is..."

Kenji's eyes went towards Shoto, and saw that her expression was one of excitement.

She usually looked cool, and collected. But right now, she wasn't. Her eyes looked as if she had wanted to do this for a while now, and she didn't seem like she would be holding back anytime soon.

"Ooh you are kidding me, I have to face Elsa."

"...I don't know what to say to that, but we should be going."

Kenji nodded his head, and went to stand...but, he felt Katsuki's hand tightly around his hand.

Looking downwards, he saw Katsuki's hand not letting go of his own. Leaning towards her, he gently kissed the side of her face, her eyes widening and met his own gaze.

"Kacchan, I'll be back soon, okay?"

Realizing what she was doing, she pulled her hand away, nodding slowly.

"Yes, good luck, Ken."

Even if she was messed up emotionally by what was going on, she still had kind words for him, and that was better than anything else.

"No worries Kacchan, leave it to me~"

Shoto watched as he stood up, and walked away with Momo.

Tightening her hand, she knew that this was her chance to understand a few things, so she went together with Shoji.


Getting onto the field of battle, the others watched on as Kenji and Momo stood outside, with Shoji and Shoto both stood with the bomb. Since they were the Villain's, it would make sense as to why they would be there.

Momo and Kenji were speaking together, but they spoke so quietly, that they weren't able to hear what they were saying. But, whatever it was that they were saying, it seemed to be quite the conversation, and even Momo seemed to be handing Kenji a few things, as he did the same for her as well.

"Grrr! I want to hear what they're saying!"

Kirishima growled angrily, as All Might chuckled.

"Don't worry about it young Kirishima, it seems that the two brain's are coming up with some plans. That's what they are good at, the pair of them together, it would be scary what kind of plans that they would come up with."

"But, Todoroki-chan has ice powers? How are they going to get the bomb? They will be frozen before they could even get there."

Tsuyu expressed her thoughts, as Katsuki looked on. She watched as Kenji and Momo discussed a few things, and wondered what he would do. Because of her own thoughts at the moment, she didn't know how he was going to get through this, she just hoped he'd do his best against her.

But then, the pair walked casually into the building.

At the same time, Shoto and Shoji stood with the bomb, and Shoji allowed his tentacle to take the shape of an ear. Because of his ability, his Quirk, he could replicate parts of the body and he could use them to hear quite well.

[You just tell me where they are, and I'll freeze them immediately.]

[Yeah, I am on it...but, I can't hear them that well right now. Are they being quiet on purpose…? I don't get it...]

Shoji tried his best, while Kenji and Momo continued going through the building, walking slowly, quietly, and weren't in any hurry to get anywhere.

They walked through the building and went into different directions. No one could understand what they were doing.

"Are...they even looking for the bomb? And why are they moving so slowly? It's like they are walking on eggshells or something."

Mineta questioned, seeing how they went around into random areas, and didn't seem too concerned either.

"Don't doubt them, they are the smartest in the class, they'll be alright! They're doing it for a reason!"

Mina cheered, excited to see what was going to happen.

All Might furrowed his eyebrows as well.

"Hmmmm, these two are the top of the class in intelligence, they wouldn't be walking around for no reasons, they must have a plan somewhere. But, it does seem that they are moving randomly, they even seem to be back tracking as well. What are their plans?"

All Might couldn't understand what they were doing, and neither could the class. Even Katsuki wasn't aware of what they were doing.

[Ken-chan, I think sufficient time has passed since we began, lets find them, we only have 13 minutes left now by my calculations.]

[Right, I'll find them, though keep your guard up, we'll have to see if our predictions are true.] Momo inclined her head. Katsuki and the others watched on as Kenji placed his hand on the wall. [Search Life.]

Activating his power, a pulse went through the entire building, searching for the life of the people inside.

"What's he doing?"

Sero questioned, as Toru giggled.

"It's the same as his Mom! She can do that too! He did it with me as well, to find me when I was inside of that building!"

A few seconds went by, and nothing happened.

But, then Kenji turned to Momo.

[Found them.]

As he said that, Shoji turned towards Shoto.

[Found them, I can hear them on the lowest floor, walking around. I'll direct you.]

Shoto hummed to herself, and then nodded.

[Stand back, I'll end this right now.]

Her hand danced with mist, an icy mist. Katsuki watched on as she placed her hand on the ground. From that simple action, the ice of her powers began to spread outwards. Going through the entire building besides where she was stood. And behind her as well of course.

"Wow, she's super powerful! There's no way that they'll escape this!"

Kaminari announced as the ice got close to Kenji and Momo.

Momo gasped, and pulled closer to Kenji who threw a seed on the ground. As he did, the seed grew and wrapped around them into a dome, the ice shooting around it and froze it all together.

Katsuki's eyes widened, she wouldn't know what to do in that kind of situation, yet Kenji remained calm, and took the attack. Even seconds later, the ice shattered as Kenji forced the vines to grow even more.

"Ken...she's powerful, yet you're so calm...how can you be so calm right now Ken…?"

Katsuki didn't understand it.

He was so calm that it didn't make sense to her, it was as if she wasn't able to see what it was that Kenji could stay calm about.

[Ken-chan, it seems like we were right, Shoji-san is tracking us based on the noise we've been making. When we made louder noises, they knew exactly where we were, and didn't freeze the area beforehand.]

[Yes, it does seem like that, this was a more concentrated freeze, than freezing the entire building. Though, he wont be able to hear what we're saying as we're speaking quietly.]

All Might widened his eyes at their conversation, realizing what was happening.

"Those two, they were merely testing the accuracy of Shoji's ability to hear, and the ice ability as well and how fast it freezes with their movements before! Hah! Those two are clever! They predicted that combination before even arriving! That is a good skill to have, to gather intelligence on the enemies."

The rest of the class looked stunned, as Kenji produced two seeds. Allowing his life energy to flow through them, he grew plant people, basically. They weren't tall, and had flower heads, but they had vine feet, and arms as well.

Momo then pulled out two mini cameras, and a device with her Quirk, attaching it to Kenji's glasses lens, and the cameras to the flowers petals, and then made hoods, and put them over the creatures bodies, from looking at them, they looked around the same height as Momo and Kenji, and because of the hood, it disguised their heads, so the flowers petals looked like normal human heads, something that the others found to be truly intelligent, even Katsuki did as well. Momo even gave them some objects as well to hold.

All Might didn't get what they were doing...but then they simply ran out of the area while the plant monsters began cracking the ice with their vine feet.

"Now they are running away!?"

Kirishima yelled out, while Katsuki continued watching, wondering what they were even doing. It all seemed random to her. If it was her, she would go and attack the enemy...but, they weren't doing that at all, and were doing something which she didn't even know about either.

Momo and Kenji made it outside, where Kenji placed a hand on the ground, and activated his Pulse Of Life technique, and caused a flower to grow towards the seventh floor, but they did it so quietly, Shoji didn't notice, and they hid outside of view from the window.

[I can see them Momo-chan, this is cool, I'm glad you said to have these glasses made, I can see them wirelessly.]

Momo waved her hand, and inhaled a breath, as her eyes peaked through the window, only so she could see, and not make it so obvious.

[They just have to believe that they are us, and when their guard is down, we'll grab the bomb from the window and it shall be our victory. It is the easiest method. Good thing you learned how to control them without having to touch them or attach your Life Line to them.]

[Indeed, it was hard, but right now, I'm connected to them and if they sustain damage, so will I.]

Kenji nodded, as the flower children ran through the area. Making as loud of noises as they could, so Momo and Kenji could be safe. Shoji was having a hard time picking up the sounds.

[They've picked up the pace! They're coming right here!]

Shoji announced, making Shoto feel annoyed.

[Avoiding my first freeze, lets see if they can do another!]

Shoto once again placed her hand on the ground and faster than before, the ice shot outwards, and was being directed by Shoji, as Momo waved her fingers, signifying what Shoto was doing, which gave Kenji the time to prepare.

"Amazing! That's so cool!"

Mina cheered as the vine creatures jumped out of the way of the ice made from Shoji. It didn't even touch them at all.

"How is he able to see it though? He isn't even in the same place as them...right?"

Kaminari developed a confused face, as Jiro sighed.

"Don't you see? He's using the glasses of his, thanks to the device Yaoyorozu-san made, so he can see what they're seeing. Timing it perfectly, with her telling him when Todoroki-san has released the ice, though the monsters don't seem to be as nimble as humans, it seems that they have enough mobility to avoid direct attacks like that and continue on. All in all, that's pretty intelligent."

"Exactly Jiro!" All Might grinned. "These two are taking advantage of the others Quirk's! They know that a direct confrontation with Todoroki there would be quite difficult, and their objective isn't to fight Todoroki or Shoji, it is to retrieve the bomb. This is why they are able to move like this! They know their capabilities, and their flaws, I can't praise these two enough for coming up with this kind of strategy! Everyone, please take note of these two!"

The class watched, even Katsuki did as well, watching as the flower children dodged all of the ice attacks thanks to a combo of Momo telling Kenji when the ice is being released, and Kenji's own precise control over his Quirk, Kenji had to mentally praise the training he did with All Might for this.

The flower children in hoods eventually made it towards the room with the bomb inside, and immediately charged for the pair. The Momo fake pulled out what appeared to be a staff, and with a swing of it, went for Shoji. The man raised his arms, and made his tentacles take the form of hands, swiping for the Momo fake, and knocked it away.

[What a ploy, but it wont work with me!]

The Kenji fake went towards Shoto who aimed her hand towards the hood. She waved it downwards, unleashing a wave of icicles, as the real Momo opened the window as quietly as she could, the same with Kenji, following her through it.

"Ken...to come up with this ploy...I understand now...Ken, all this time...you have been learning more and more..."

Katsuki watched with amazement as Shoto managed to grab the Kenji fake, and froze the fake. The cloak of the fake froze first, and shattered, revealing the body of the frozen plant, her eyes widening in shock.

[No! They're fakes! Then that means!] Her eyes went towards the bomb, seeing Kenji and Momo literally inches away from grabbing it. [No!]

As fast as she could, she unleashed a wave of ice spires for Kenji and Momo.

[Ken-chan!]

[On it! Get behind me!]

Kenji got before Momo, creating a wall of vines to block the ice attack, but it pushed them away from the bomb and when the ice shattered, all four of them having a stand off.

Kenji's eyes went to Shoto, who did the same thing. Momo looked towards Shoji who did the same thing.

"Awwww! They almost got it as well! That was so cool! They work so well together!"

Toru complained, seeing what had just happened.

Katsuki couldn't believe what was happening.

They were working together so well, Kenji and Momo weren't idiots, they had a sound plan. It would have worked, if Shoto was a second later. She questioned herself, if she would be able to do this with such precise timing.

"Again, these two are simply outstanding, what a plan! They almost pulled it off as well! This is what it means to work as a team! Todoroki seems to think Shoji is in the way, while Mikami and Yaoyorozu are working together expertly!"

All Might smiled, while Katsuki continued to watch on.

"Is this, what Ken is capable of…? I already knew he was smart...but he was able to do this with that girls help...is cooperation this important…? Could he have done that alone…? I don't know...damn it, Deku that bastard...Ken…."

Katsuki didn't outwardly show it, but she was worried for the young boy.

Kenji and Momo looked between their opponents, as Shoto turned her eyes towards Kenji.

[I have to admit, you did rather well, both of you. I commend you. However, now that you are here, I will be able to freeze you. You wont be able to win. My Quirk is simply too strong.]

[Good luck with that, we aren't pushover's.] Kenji turned to Momo who nodded. [I've got Todoroki-san, can you handle things here Momo-chan?]

Momo made a metal staff within her hand thanks to her Quirk, and spun it around.

[Yes, I have Shoji-san, take care of Todoroki-san.]

Shoto looked surprised at how confident they seemed.

[You think, you can defeat me?]

Kenji adopted a smile, and placed his hands outwards as his shoes glowed.

[We'll have to see, wont we!? Over Life, Springy Grass!]

Kenji surprised the young girl by jumping upwards. She raised her hand and followed him. Seeing his line of path, she waved her hand and sent a wave of ice towards him. But, what surprised her next was how he bounced off the wall, and shot towards another place in the room, the ice completely missing him.

Shoto clicked her tongue, and looked towards Kenji once more. Using her ice, she created an ice slide to chase after Kenji. Kenji headed for the door, sharing one last look with Momo who did the same with him, and faced off against Shoji.

[Yaoyorozu-san, wasn't it a little foolish for Mikami-san to leave you here?]

Momo waved her hand without a care, while All Might wondered what she was doing with the nesting dolls she had within one of her hands.

"She's got to have them for a reason, but what could it be?"

His thoughts were delayed as Momo spoke up.

[Don't mind that, Ken-chan and I know what we're doing.]

Momo spun her staff, as the man made his tentacles become hands, and charged for her. She pulled backwards, as he got close. His fists went for the young woman's body, so she pulled backwards, and avoided the strike, at the same time tossing something at him, but he swatted it away, it seemed to be a Russian nesting doll, and Shoji gave it a glance, but since it didn't do anything he left it along and, she was glad about that.

Momo then swung her staff for the man, thinking she had him off guard, but one of his many hands caught the staff, and pulled her upwards. He was strong, to be able to lift her up so easily, and she grimaced as well.

[Sorry, Yaoyorozu-san.]

Momo winced as she chucked another Russian nesting doll at him, but once again, he swatted it away and it landed in the place Momo wanted, something All Might found suspicious all together.

[Oh…]

Momo didn't have time to think as she was thrown away from the bomb. She skidded on the ground, and came to a halt as she used her Quirk to make a heavy leg plate, and saved her from suffering damage, her eyes going to the place where Kenji and Shoto disappeared all together.

Shoji tightened his hands, and aimed for Momo who didn't back down for even a second.

[Even if I am outmatched by your strength, Ken-chan placed his trust in me and as his partner, I wont lose!]

Momo placed her hands together, as she ran forward, and threw another Russian nesting doll at him. But, once again, he swatted it left, All Might knew that she would have to be doing that for a reason, yet didn't get why she was doing it.

Shoji thought he had this in the bag, and went to grab her body with his hands. But, she raised her arm, and formed a shield, blocking the hands, and then formed a metal staff with her other hand, embedding it into Shoji's torso, making him cough out a little bit of bile with how strong she thrusted it, and toss a net towards him, but even in his state, he brushed it aside with his Quirk's hands.

[Gwaah!]

He spat out once more as Momo pushed the man's body to the side, using her leg to give him a kick to the arm. Shoji tightened his eyes on her, and swiped again and again for her, keeping Momo on the defensive, and didn't give her any opening's at all.

All Might watched on, seeing Momo engaging in a fight with Shoji, while Kenji drew away from that area, and Shoto followed after him, seemingly not thinking about what was going on. Even with a powerful Quirk that Shoto had, All Might believed he knew what Kenji was doing. And if he was right, then he was quite the smart person.


"S-So...he's running away now huh..."

Aoyama spoke up, watching the fight, and was feeling quite intense.

"I know, come on dude! Show us what it is like to be a man already!"

Kirishima complained, tightening his hand.

"Hmph, stupid fools, they don't know what Ken is doing...actually, even I don't know what he's doing...damn it Ken, what are you doing?"

Katsuki rolled her eyes, and watched as Shoto sent several ice attacks towards Kenji who simply evaded them while running. His shoes helped him with that as well, using that springy grass, and gave him good mobility as well.

[Stop running!]

Shoto yelled, sending her ice towards him from her foot this time.

[Heeeh, sorry about that but if I stopped, I'd be captured, you know? I don't feel like getting frozen today!]

Kenji said, as he avoided another ice wave. The icicles that was being shot towards him, was a dangerous situation. If he got caught up in them, then he knew that it wouldn't do the best for him, so he avoided them quite well with what he had going on with him.

But then he came to a halt, within a large room, and faced Shoto who did the same thing.

[So, you've finally decided to stop running away.]

Shoto asked, only for Kenji to smile softly.

[Running away huh? Yeah, I guess so, you're too fast for me Todoroki-san.]

Shoto's eyes narrowed on Kenji who smirked right back.

[...No, you aren't that stupid, did you lead me here for a reason?]

Kenji showed an innocent smile.

[Besides keeping Momo-chan from getting frozen, not really. This area is big enough for our fight, that's all.]

Kenji answered swiftly, as Shoto placed her hand outwards.

[Yes, you're right, I wouldn't want anyone else getting in the way. Especially with what I've got in store for you.]

Kenji gave a bow of his head, and readied himself.

[Good, show me what you've got, and I'll show you what I've got as well, Todoroki-san.]

Shoto accepted the challenge, and then unleashed a giant ice wave. Though Kenji didn't use his Death Quirk, he made a seed spring out, and swung it around again and again. With precise timing, the vine swatted away the ice before it could touch his body.

However, the ice grew more and more and surrounded Kenji's body. Realizing what he was intending to do, Kenji thrust his arms to the side, and the guards on his elbows shot out stronger than normal vines, stabbing through the ice, and whipped it around, creating a dance of shards of ice breaking around his body, the class looking on, impressed, no more so than Katsuki however, who was stunned.

"Ken...he...Ken..."

Muttering, Kenji threw two seeds outwards, and vines shot for Shoto's body.

[Todoroki-san, why aren't you using your flames?]

Kenji asked as one vine wrapped around her ice side, which Shoto froze immediately. But, the other vine wrapped around her other side, and went up her body as well, and went to entangle her body.

[I don't need it, why aren't you using your Death side? Your Life side isn't suited to combat, is it?]

Shoto briefly thought about using her fire side, even Kenji saw sparks of flames going off from her hand...but, she stopped herself, and grasped the vine with her ice side, throwing it away in a crumble once freezing it.

[My Death side might kill someone, and I don't want to do that! My Life side can be used in combat, if you know how to do it like me! Face me Todoroki-san!]

However, as she was doing that, Kenji used this chance to propel himself forward with his grass springy shoes. Like a bullet, he went for Shoto, and withdrew the capturing type. Shoto, gasped as did the members of the class.

"Damn, he only did that to trick her and get close so she couldn't unleash her ice so fast! Wow, Kenji-kun! You are awesome! Keep doing it! And win! I'm routing for you!"

Mina couldn't help but continue cheering, seeing Kenji's hand grasping Shoto's flame side, and allowed the ribbon to begin going around the young woman's arm.

[No way...I wont let you!]

Shoto's eyes widened, and kicked the ground, unleashing a hard wave of ice for his body.

Kenji didn't have a choice, and from his elbow guards, vines shot backwards, wrapped around a pillar in the room, and launched him backwards. The ice followed, and though it was fast, Kenji retracted faster, and once making it to the pillar, he jumped from it, avoiding the ice all together, and landed on the ground.

Katsuki continued watching the fight, and couldn't help but see what was happening, she was stunned. She didn't know if she would be able to avoid these attacks the way that Kenji was. And how he was using his Quirk, it was different to how she had seen it before, he was going for it, with everything that he had.

Kenji panted as did Shoto from the usage of their Quirk's. Kenji could see that ice was continuing to grow on Shoto's body and he guessed what that was about, he knew what she would need to do to offset that, but she wasn't doing it.

[Todoroki-san, you said that you wished to face me. May I ask why that was? I don't think you ever answered that.]

Shoto waved a hand through her hair, fighting off the ice creeping onto her body.

[The reason why I wanted to face you, is because you're exactly like me. You and I have so much in common...but, you haven't shut yourself off from the world. Even though you have every right to do that, you still do what you can to be friends with everyone, even when they show disdain for you. It...fascinates me, and I want to understand more about you. I also need to see if I can beat your duel Quirk with my ice only. If I can...then it shows that I don't need this fire side, I don't need his power.]

Kenji could relate to that very well. Using that persons power, also made him feel sick, he didn't want to do it. And he could see that Shoto was going through something as well.

[His power huh...I can understand that. Though your Quirk is unique to you, Todoroki-san.]

Shoto furrowed her eyebrows, as she felt a pulse coming from her heart.

[Mikami-kun I...no, I need to face you. Don't hold back on me, use your Death as well!]

[No, I can't do that, I'm sorry Todoroki-san. But, if I did that, then I could hurt someone...I can't do that for a simple test like this. This isn't life and death, there's no need to go that far at all. I want to win the exam, of course I do...but, no exam, is worth killing someone else for.]

Katsuki's eyes shot open, while Iida looked stunned by what Kenji had said, remembering what had happened not long ago within the classroom and how he spoke to him, something that he was beginning to regret.

Shoto's hands tightened, and Kenji saw sparks of fire going off around her hand, along with ice. But, when realizing herself, she stopped the flames from bursting forth, Kenji cracking his hand to the side, with a smile.

[Anyway, shouldn't we be fighting!?]

Kenji didn't give her time to keep calm, and allowed his vines to go right for her body.

Shoto took to the side this time, and made an ice slide, avoiding the attack.

Kenji followed her with his vines, and whipped at the ice bridge she made, breaking it apart.

Shoto's eyes briefly widened, but then she did a forward flip, and made another ice bridge, heading for Kenji himself. The young boy went towards his belt, to retrieve another seed, but Shoto saw that coming and grabbed his waist.

[No.]

With that single command, Shoto froze Kenji's belt, along with all of the seeds that he had in reserve, besides the ones placed at different points of his body, Kenji was glad that a certain something didn't freeze as well.

But then it happened.

Because his belt held up his pants, his pants fell down to the ground, exposing his lower body. Thankfully he wore underwear, but, Shoto, and the rest of the people viewing him, could see his lower body.

[O-Oh my…]

Shoto actually blushed at the sight while Toru's nose bled.

"That's what I came for! Hehehehe, I really like his body! It is the best ever!"

She grinned out and her body twitched around, though nobody could tell, as she was invisible, as Mina's nose bled, her thumb stuck out while she shook her body.

"I love Todoroki-chan right now! Freeze his shirt too! Lets see some chest action!"

Tsuyu, who watched on, stuck out her large tongue, and licked her lips.

"Well, this is a treat, I enjoy this more than the killing fight from before...nice."

She finished, and bit her lower lip from saying anymore.

Jiro looked on once more, this being the second time she had seen Kenji's lower body, and her blush went across her entire face.

"...So punk rock, he's really still going for it even after everything that has been going down...he's so good. Good body...person..."

Jiro turned her eyes from the screen, as Katsuki glared at the others.

"That body belongs to me! Stop looking at him immediately or I'll kill all of you!"

The others took a glance at Katsuki, who didn't look the happiest right now. In fact, she looked like she was going to kill someone.

Kenji on the other hand looked down at the ground and as if he was going to shed a tear or two, he looked into Shoto's eyes.

[...Why did you do this to me exactly? Why does this keep happening to me...?]

Shoto looked concerned for the young boy, and didn't know what to say as a result.

[I...I only meant to freeze the seeds that you have on your belt, I didn't mean to actually do anything like this. I am sorry Mikami-kun.]

Kenji showed a less than happy face, and pulled away from the young girl. Said girl casually looked towards Kenji as if she was ready for a fight. Kenji himself didn't know what plans he had going on now, but he knew he had to keep on his toes, or Shoto would finish him off before anything else could happen.

[W-Well, don't count me out just yet! I have a few tricks up my sleeve!]

[No, you don't, sadly to say.] Shoto began. [I've destroyed your seeds, you can't fight without them. Your Life Quirk works by channelling your Life energy into living things and manipulating them. Beyond that, you can't do anything unless you use your Death Quirk, and since you're unwilling to do that, I guess this means the end for you, Mikami-kun.]

Shoto allowed her hand to go outwards, and the area began to freeze. Kenji went to pull away but a large amount of ice headed for Kenji's body. The others watched on as the ice completely encased his entire being.

"Kenji-kun! No...that's not fair..."

Mina pouted, seeing Shoto seemingly have won.

"Awwwww, that's not fair! She froze his method of attacking, there's no way that he could have countered that at all!"

Toru raised her complaints, while All Might didn't say anything. He didn't even have any emotions on his face at all, it was like he was completely calm and natural as well. He didn't even show an ounce of worry for Kenji.

Katsuki cast her eyes downwards and felt annoyed, enraged that Shoto managed to pull of a victory…

However, that didn't seem to be the case in the end.

[W-What!?]

Shoto stood there, stunned by what was happening.

Kenji...was stood there, within the ice, and wasn't frozen. He wasn't beaten after all.

"H-Hey! How's he doing that?!"

Kirishima yelled out, as Iida took a long look at what he saw.

Seeing Kenji stood there, he wasn't unprotected.

He had a white aura around him, in the shape of a dome.

The ice had encased the dome within it, but the rest of him, within said dome, was protected. He had been saved by the white energy, and Shoto looked beyond surprised, as did Katsuki who didn't know what he was doing.

[B-But, that's impossible...your Life Quirk allows you to control life…]

[With Life energy.] Kenji revealed, as he spread his hands, and the dome of ice cracked all around him. [You got one thing wrong. I do use my Life Quirk to control plants, and living things, but its main use is to harness Life energy to manipulate, to either place it into other forms of life and manipulate it, or shape it to use it in other ways. Though Life energy isn't truly that harmful, I can't cause physical damage with Life energy, but I can protect myself like this, and I can affect life with whatever I hit it with. All you froze was my Life energy, and I was safe and sound deep within the dome. I practiced, my Mom can do this as well, she can do it better than I can. You became cocky because you thought I was out of tricks, well I'm not yet!]

Kenji clapped his hands together, and summoned two light auras to his hands.

Directing his hands towards Shoto, he shot them off like arrows. Since she didn't know what the power would do, Shoto used the ice bridge to avoid the attack, only for Kenji to snicker, and unleash a barrage of the arrows towards her.

Shoto didn't know what they would do, so she swung her hand outwards, and created an ice wall. The arrows slammed against the wall, and disappeared with a flash of beautiful lights. While she did that, Kenji took the chance to run around to the side, and appear before her on the left.

Shoto's eyes tightened on his form, seeing him channel Life energy into his hands once more, and blasted it towards her. Katsuki was amazed by what was going on. Even with his seeds gone, it was something of a marvel to see him switch so easily to his other methods of attacking.


At the same time, Momo looked around and saw that everything had been set up, Shoji was within the middle of the Russian nesting dolls, which had been planted around the room.

Raising a hand to her ear, Shoji watched Momo contact Kenji.

[Ken-chan, I'm all ready now.]

Katsuki and the others wondered what she was talking about.

"I don't get it, what's she ready for exactly?"

Quizzing aloud didn't get her anywhere, and Tsuyu was left wondering.

"W-Well, they've got something planned, but I don't know what that is..."

Mineta tried to think but he didn't know what was going on.


Kenji inclined his head.

[Alright, I'm ready too.] His eyes went towards Shoto who looked back with a wry gaze. [Sorry Todoroki-san, but we've won this now, you can't beat us with what we've got planned.]

Shoto gave him a suspicious look.

[What are you talking about?]

Kenji smirked, and placed his hand outwards.

[Over Life, Sensitive Eyes!]

Using his Life energy, he shot it forward towards the young girl. Said girl attempted to raise an ice wall, but Kenji had already planned for that, and tossed what seemed to be a nesting doll towards her as well.

Shoto didn't know which one she should go for, the doll or the energy, so she tried both. Waving her hand outwards, she made a wave of ice. Freezing the doll at first, Kenji snickered as he sent his Life energy into it, which caused it to sprout out a giant vine and broke through the ice, shocking the young woman.

Her hand, her fiery side went up to burn them...but, then she stopped, wondering what she was doing.

But, she didn't falter, and froze the vine before it could touch her, however it was already too late.

The Sensitive Eyes trick had already hit her eyes, and seeped in. Kenji knew this would be the right time, so he pulled out a flash bang, that Momo had made for him before, and tossed it towards Shoto, who widened her eyes.

[Oh damn-]

FLASH!

The light of the flash bang went off, and because it was so intense and because of Kenji's technique as well, Shoto's eyes felt like they were burning.

[Aaaaaaaaaaaagh! D-Damn it all to hell!]

She held her hands to her eyes, as Kenji slammed his palm against the floor, pressing a button on his glasses that connected to the cameras Momo was wearing.

[Over Life, Growth!]

Sending out a pulse of Life energy, it travelled through the building.


Momo held her stance on where she was, and didn't back down. Shoji was slowly walking towards her, but Momo knew what she had to do.

And then it came.

[What's this!?]

As the Life energy came, the nesting dolls erupted with large and thick vines, which spread around Shoji. He tried to swat them away, but they were fast, and he couldn't take them all down, circulating him. So the vines, began entangling around him as he struggled but to no avail.

[This is it!]

Momo, using the capture tape, ran forward, and tied it around Shoji who was defenceless because of the vines.

The others watched as Momo tied him up, and because of that, he was out of the game.

"Yes! That's how you do it everyone! This is true team work!"

All Might couldn't be more proud of what he was seeing, it was such a wonderful feeling that even Katsuki had to admit that they did pretty well together. And, it made her feel jealous all at the same time as well.


While Kenji went to pull his hand away from the ground, Shoto fought through her blinding and turned her ice onto Kenji, sweeping him up in a wave of ice, who yelled [Ooh crap!], and pinned him to the wall before he could raise a barrier, so he couldn't move.

Though she was in pain, she walked towards him slowly.

[I've...ngh, got you now...you can't escape…]

Shoto groaned out, as Kenji chuckled.

[You're right, you've captured me. It was a necessary move for this to happen.]

Shoto gave him a wry look, as much as she could due to her current condition.

[W-What are you talking about?]

[...While you're here with me, with me captured, who's guarding the bomb?]

Shoto scrunched her eyebrows together.

[Shoji-san is.]

Kenji gave a challenging smirk.

[Are you sure about that?]

Shoto gasped, and her hand danced with mist. She forced her hand to the ground as fast as she could…

However, All Might announced, seeing Momo touching the fake bomb.

"Aaaaaaaand! The winner, is Team C! The Hero Team is victorious!"

[B-But how!?]

Shoto let loose a surprise burst of shock, as Kenji shivered.

[...Could you let me down please? I'll heal your eyes as well if you let me down. I'm freaking freezing.]

Shoto glanced towards Kenji with her sore eyes, and consented, melting the ice until it became a large puddle of water, falling to the ground and shivered slightly.


Later on, back in the monitoring room, they were going over the second fights results, and speaking about what had happened. Kenji sat down (now with pants, to the sadness of a few people) with Katsuki on his arm, glaring at the other girls, in particular Shoto for what happened. Shoto herself was stunned, and couldn't believe that she had actually lost. She lost sight of what the goal was, and managed to be tricked, when she usually prides herself with her intelligence.

"So, how did you lose your belt again?"

"She froze it Momo-chan!" Kenji cried. "People keep stripping me...first Mina-san, then Todoroki-san and Kacchan has done it before too, the women in this class keep taking my clothes away from me..."

"I know I certainly liked it~"

Toru gushed out as Kenji sweat dropped.

"But, I don't understand." Kaminari spoke up. "How did you guys plan all that out? Did you see the future or something?"

Kenji and Momo looked to one another.

"Momo-chan, do you want to?"

Momo waved her hand.

"I'll allow you to begin."

Kenji nodded, and began telling the tale.

"Okay, we knew that Todoroki-san was our main competitor, no offence Shoji-san." Shoji waved his hand and allowed Kenji to continue. "Yes, and we knew that a direct confrontation, would be quite difficult, and time consuming, even if both Momo-chan and I worked together, and we had a time limit, we couldn't just waste time."

He looked to Momo who continued.

"So, we developed some plans. We didn't go off one plan, we went off a few. Beginning with what Shoji-san could hear. We suspected that Todoroki-san wouldn't freeze the entire building, and would concentrate on a direct freeze to make it harder for us to escape, as she knew of our capabilities. We walked carefully, and waited for our chance. When knowing the exact amount of noise it took for him to hear us, we played on that. So, Ken-chan made the flower monsters, and had them pretend they were us."

Momo then switched to Kenji who cleared his throat.

"After that, we waited outside for our chance, using Momo-chan's Creation ability, and my glasses which were designed to connect to video feeds wirelessly and used that to our advantage. Our main objective, was the bomb. We were using the flower monsters as bait. However, that didn't go as well as we hoped. Todoroki-san managed to see through that quite steadily, and blocked our chances."

Momo nodded, and continued after Kenji.

"That's why, we went with plan B. And that was, to get Todoroki-san, away from the bomb, to split them up. We already knew Todoroki-san was very eager to fight Ken-chan, so we hoped she'd be eager enough to ignore the objective, and chase after him, which she thankfully did. His main objective, was to wear down Todoroki-san in a different area, while I do the same with Shoji-san upstairs with the bomb, all the while planting nesting dolls, with Ken-chan's seeds, all around, and I had cameras on me, from my Quirk, so when he needed too, he could see where to direct the vines."

"So, it was just a matter of buying time and when the chance was right, I used my power to blind her, and with the help of Momo-chan's flash bangs as well. Having them both in the same room, would have been very difficult to deal with, and we didn't know the extent of Shoji-san's abilities, so that's why we set it up the way we did, hoping that we had worn them down enough to take them by surprise."

Momo held her hands up like scales.

"It was a gamble, we have to admit. But, we had to take this kind of gamble to win the fight. We know that we wont always be able to set up the plans of a fight like this. But, in this instance, we knew our enemies, and what they might be capable of, and acted accordingly. And as Ken-chan said, he bought time. And by the time Todoroki-san realized it, it was already too late. She couldn't win against us. We never lost sight of our objective, we knew our enemies might be able to overpower us, but we devised tactics to stall, rather than fight head on, and we didn't damage the bomb, we protected it, and made sure that we had the best chance of protecting others lives."

When Momo finished off, the others were left staring there, blankly at Kenji and Momo and didn't know what to say. They were stunned, they looked like they wouldn't be able to win now. They knew that Shoto was probably the strongest in the class, yet, Kenji and Momo managed to defeat her, and Shoji, with baits, misdirection's and presumptions on the enemies parts.

All in all, All Might was so impressed by their ingenuity.

"Hahaha! I thought you two might have been a little crazy, or something. But, it seems you two have done an amazing job at cooperation, which was what Todoroki and Shoji didn't accomplish. Yaoyorozu, and Mikami, you both accomplished today's tasks. Of course, there's areas which could be improved upon, however, you had an objective, a goal, and you never lost sight of that goal, and accomplished said goal with a very timed, and well executed plan, which relied on team work. So far, you both have proven how capable you are at working together, and relying on one another for assistance, that's what it means to work as a team."

Kenji and Momo looked relieved, while Shoto still looked so lost, and didn't know what to say at all. Kenji looked towards Katsuki, and saw her eyes on the ground. His hand encompassed her own, and held it tightly, making her eyes shoot for his, and she felt calmer than before.

"Thank you sir, we tried our hardest, and it succeeded, and as you said, there were areas we could improve, this just gives us that incentive to continue working hard."

All Might nodded his head, as Kenji raised his hand.

"Sir, would it be okay if I go and see Deku-kun now? See if there's anything that I can do to help him out perhaps? With healing, as Recovery Girl can only do so much on her own, I'd like to see if there's anything I can do to be of assistance."

All Might watched Kenji for a brief few moments, before nodding his head in consent.

"Yes, of course, please do."

"Thank you sir." Kenji bowed his head once more, and looked towards Katsuki. "Kacchan, are you going to be okay?"

Katsuki tossed Kenji a look, then nodded her head.

"Yes, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me, that's what you do best. Though, I want to see you later...I need to ask you something's."

Kenji adopted a small smile, and inclined his head.

"Of course Kacchan." He leaned closer and gently kissed her cheek, the others in the room turned wide eyed at the sight. "I just need to do this for Deku-kun, you know?"

"I know, you're so kind, always putting others before yourself. Go on."

Kenji nodded, bowed his head, and walked out of the room, All Might smiled happily. Shoto saw the young boy leaving and couldn't help but smile gently to herself, it was barely visual, but she definitely did have a smile on her face.


Later on, as the redness of the sky came known to Japan, a groggy Izuku's eyes cracked open. He looked down at himself, and felt...he just felt his body. He didn't feel as if he was going to break, he actually felt normal.

"H-Huh…? W-What's...b-but, I was broken..."

"You're lucky." Izuku turned his head to the side to see Recovery Girl sat there. "That boy, Kenji-kun came here, and healed all your wounds, the ones I couldn't heal of course. Though, because of the healing, he passed out."

"K-Ken-kun passed out...to heal me?"

Recovery Girl inclined her head, looking to the opposite side of the room. Izuku followed with his eyes, and saw a passed out Kenji, and Katsuki who held his hand tightly, and wouldn't let go, even as he was unconscious.

"That's right, that child came in here and even without knowing your current situation, placed his hands on you, and began healing your wounds. Because they were quite extensive, and he had been using his Quirk for his big battle, and the pain accompanied with his type of healing, he passed out. But, he refused to ever pass out before you were healed. You must be some friend for someone to put themselves through something like that."

Izuku looked at Kenji once more, and showed teary eyes. Yet, he smiled at the same time, nodding his head slowly.

"Yes...he's my best friend...he always heals me, no matter how damaged I get...I feel terrible..."

"Don't feel terrible sonny, that boy clearly knew what would happen, yet he didn't care because he wanted to help his friend. Even when I said to him that you'll heal eventually, he refused to stop and continued to heal you, he's exactly like his Mother. Oh, he also won his match if you wanted to know."

"H-He did? Who did he face? I-If you don't mind me asking."

"He faced Shoto Todoroki-san and Mezo Shoji-san. According to All Might, they got the standout for the day, along with a boy named Iida-san. They stood out as the people of today, though All Might also praised you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and see All Might."

Recovery Girl stood up from her seat, and walked out of the room, as she seemingly needed something to do.

Izuku looked towards Katsuki who just sat there silently with Kenji, and didn't say anything. Izuku knew that she probably would be pissed off, but he had to say something, anything, even if he didn't know what he was going to say.

Izuku stood up from the bed, so surprised that he didn't feel an ounce of pain.

He walked over towards the bed, and placed his fingers together.

"Kacchan..."

"What do you want now?"

She spat out with annoyance, causing Izuku to flinch.

Izuku watched on, as Katsuki gave him a death glare. Izuku thought about something, something that he needed to say. He had the intense urge, and even though Kenji knew, he also wanted Katsuki to know about it as well, at least to save Kenji having to lie for him as well. He knew that he had been, and it didn't feel right.

"...I have to tell you something, something about me...maybe that will explain what's been going on." Izuku began, as Kenji's eyes slowly opened. Seeing the look between them, he wondered what was going to happen, so he feigned being asleep. "I, I haven't been hiding my Quirk from you."

"Ooh shit..."

Kenji mentally cursed, but Izuku carried on without that knowledge.

"It was, given to me by someone else. Recently." Katsuki narrowed her eyes at him, making him flinch even more. "B-But, I can't tell you where I got it from, so please don't ask me. Sounds crazy, I know. It's like something out of a comic book. Only it's real. The thing is, I don't really have any control over this power...that's why, Ken-kun has been healing me. He knows too, and has been helping me try and control this power, in anyway that he can...he's a true friend...he even came here to heal me..."

"Geez Deku-kun, All Might said not to reveal anything...but, I totally get why he is..."

Izuku then continued.

"That's why, I didn't want to use it in the exercise...b-but, in the end, that's the only way I had a chance of winning." Katsuki began shaking angrily. Her body was getting hotter with rage. Even Kenji could feel it through their connected hands. Izuku carried on, while looking down. "I still have a lot to learn Kacchan...I know that...that's why I am here." Katsuki was close to boiling point at this time, she couldn't contain her anger for much longer. "You see...I'll work until I have full control over this Quirk. And I'll finally beat you with my own power! And Ken-kun too!"

Katsuki just glared at him, while Kenji mentally sighed at what was going on right now. He didn't know if he should speak up or not, he did want to say something...but, he chose not to do it in the end.

Izuku looked on, and just realized he had messed up.

Speaking about the borrowed Quirk, he didn't intend to say that. But, he ended up saying it. And now he couldn't take it back, as it would look as if he was lying, and he didn't want to be known as a liar at all.

Katsuki on the other hand, growled angrily.

"How dumb do you think I am? Borrowed power? Don't talk to me like I'm an idiot. You already made a damn fool out of me in that damn training exercise. So, come to rub it in?" Kenji could feel her anger growing and wondered if he would have to step in. "And what's worse? I lost to you! I came in first in the Entrance Exam along with Ken! But that's not enough...I saw it today...that bitch Todoroki...I realized that I couldn't beat her in a head to head fight, yet Ken did better than I could!" Kenji inhaled slowly, hearing how that hurt her, which he never intended. "I even saw Creation girl working so well with him! Damn it, damn it, damn it! Ken was right...I didn't see it, I didn't want to believe it...but, he was right...and...and..." Kenji saw from his slitted eyes, that Katsuki was crying, not out of sadness, but out of frustration, something he hadn't expected to happen, and it pained him to see her like that. "Enjoy your win Deku! I'm just getting started! I'll defeat you, and all of them here! I'm going to end up the number one Hero, no matter what! You'll never beat me again...no one will..."

Kenji, couldn't stand it anymore, and 'woke up', wrapping his arms around Katsuki's neck, surprising her. Her tears flowed down her face, as Kenji brought her head towards his chest silently. Stroking the back of her head as he brought her onto his lap, his eyes turned towards Izuku.

"Deku-kun, don't worry, I can handle this from here."

"A-Are you sure you're okay?"

Kenji nodded, continuing to stroke her head.

"Yes, I'll be fine, don't worry. I think the others want to see you in the classroom, that's what I heard before I passed out."

"R-Right...thanks Ken-kun, I'm so sorry I burdened you again."

Kenji waved his hand and kissed the top of Katsuki's head, as she shed tears into his chest.

"It's okay, continue to burden me Deku-kun and I'll burden you with my problems. That's what friends do to each other...well, that's what I think about anyway. Go on, go home, and rest, you've earned it. You did well today. Don't look sad either, I am okay, I promise."

"...Okay, I'll call you tonight, okay?"

Kenji adopted a smile, nodding his head.

"Good, speak later~"

Even when in these situations, Kenji still made Izuku feel better. Inhaling and exhaling, Izuku bowed, and left the room.

Once he was gone, he turned his attention to Katsuki, and continued to hold her in his arms.

"Kacchan, you've just realized it, haven't you?"

Katsuki stiffened, her eyes met his own, and he could see the tears. Using his finger, he brushed them away while she looked annoyed with herself.

"...You shouldn't have to see me acting so pathetic like this...I hate it, I shouldn't show you this side of me..."

Kenji shook his head, and gently brushed her cheek with his lips. He held her close to his body as she got comfortable on his lap, as their eyes never left one another's. Kenji could see how vulnerable Katsuki looked, and he definitely knew that she has had a small, maybe even major epiphany.

"You saw me, when I was pathetic, remember? When I cried...you don't have to hide away from me Kacchan, I'm always here for you. I said it before the trial, didn't I? That something would happen today..."

"I can't believe that I lost to Deku..."

"You and Iida-san, would have been stronger together...but, your biggest downfall was, you didn't work with him Kacchan, because of your pride and your rage for Deku-kun, I understand why you have that for him though."

She hated admitting it, but on some level, she knew he was right.

"...Ken I..."

"Also you saw people today...Todoroki-san, is very powerful."

"Tch, Todoroki is strong, she's stronger than I thought..."

"She is yeah. I heard what you said to Deku-kun...yes, you saw Todoroki-san strong, but that doesn't mean you're automatically weak, because you're not weak at all, you're one of the stronger contenders in the class, I can tell you that myself. But you've discovered...today, you saw everyone was quite talented, and that shocked you, right?"

Katsuki breathed in and out slowly, reluctantly nodding.

"...It's not just that...Ken, you, today, I saw how strong you are, I'm surprised."

"Eeh, more like maximizing my Quirk, is all, and I worked with Momo-chan as well, I couldn't have done that without her. Todoroki-san is very strong, and the reason I fought her so well, was because she underestimated me a little bit, like you did with Deku-kun."

"Deku...he truly does piss me off...it's so humiliating, all this time...and now, he actually managed to win...that loser..."

Kenji stroked her face gently, to calm her down slightly.

"Deku-kun huh...you know, he isn't out to humiliate you, he just wants to be a Hero, he probably admires you for being so strong, and talented, like he said during the fight. I heard what you said, how he's laughing behind your back and hiding things from you...he's not doing that Kacchan, he's out to prove himself with his Quirk, just like everyone else here. He just wants to be a Hero. I know it must be surprising that he has this Quirk, but don't count yourself out Kacchan, because you are powerful, you're a genius in fighting. If you had used your mind more and didn't give into your anger, you could have won that fight, I know you could have."

Katsuki thought to herself, and wondered if that was true.

"Ken...what you said then, and how you worked with Creation girl, I didn't work with Pencil and ended up losing..."

"Yes, Kacchan, that's right, I couldn't have beaten them both without her help, and I do believe that you and Iida-san could have won if you worked together. But you know, it's mistakes, and losses, that help us become even better. Losing, gives someone more things to learn and build off of, than winning. And so what, you lost today? You can learn off that, and be better next time. I know losing sucks, winning is more gratifying, but losing can also help you become better as well. I'm not saying lose on purpose, but don't take it so hard if you do, in situations like these, use your loss, and become even better, so when the real situations happen, you'll be ready, that's why we go to school, so we can be prepared and learn here the proper way to be a Hero. So don't worry Kacchan, I know your pride has been damaged today, but lets learn from our mistakes today, and come back better than ever, okay?"

Katsuki's eyes widened, realizing what he had been saying was true. All this time, she thought that she was superior and didn't need others help...but, now that she had listened and experienced what she had today, she could see that Kenji was speaking the truth.

Katsuki's eyes went to Kenji once more, and saw his supportive smile.

All of the time, he supported her.

Even now, he was supporting her.

"Ken...I don't know what to think, but...I trust you, if you're saying it...I need to think about this...so many emotions are rattling around inside of me..."

"I'm sure there are a lot of things going on inside of you. But one day, you'll find the answers you are looking for, and I'll be here, when you reach your answer, whatever that is. And I'll help you in anyway that I can."

Katsuki looked at the boys face, and then raised a finger to his cheek, gently brushing it. Kenji smiled as her eyes hungrily went into her own eyes, her fingers clinging to his shirt.

"I hate how smart you are sometimes...but, you're always beside me...even now, when I'm acting kinda pathetic, you're here, picking me up, telling me how it is, I respect that of you, you telling me what's what without the bullshit, and doing it to help me improve..."

"Of course Kacchan, lying isn't going to make you better, you've called me out on my faults before, and I respect you too much to lie to you, and...yo-you know my feelings for you...I'm...you're my Kacchan...if you're low, I'm here to help you, like you did me..."

"And you're mine, Ken. I'm never letting you go...I can't, I just want you, more than anything. You don't know how much I want you..."

"Me too, Kacchan. I don't get emotions much...but, I do understand that I feel deeply for you, and would like to explore more of that."

"Heh...yeah."

Katsuki allowed a small smile to appear on her face, and leaned closer. He accepted it and leaned closer. Kenji grabbed one of her hands, and their fingers entwined with one another. Pursing their lips, they moved ever closer.

And then it happened.

Their lips, finally connected.

After all the teases, after all the almost's, they finally managed to share their first kiss.

It felt wonderful. A spark passed between the two of them, Kenji holding Katsuki close, who did the same thing. Their lips moved in time with one another's, sharing the magic between the two of them, their bodies growing closer to one another's by the second.

They continued their kiss for over a minute, before parting. They both panted at the raw feelings they had for one another. Kenji definitely could feel it thanks to his Quirk, what she was feeling, and Kenji used that Quirk to share with Katsuki what he was feeling at this moment in time, which made her so happy.

"K-Kacchan..."

He blushed wildly, and she did the same, holding one another even closer.

"Y-Yeah...that was...I loved it Ken, that kiss..."

"I-Indeed, you and I actually kissed...I thought about it quite a bit...but, it was better than what I had imagined. Kacchan...with that kiss...w-what does that mean for us…?"

Katsuki pulled on his shirt, dragging his face to her own. Their lips hovered above one another's, and hungrily, she brushed her lips against own, causing his lips to react, and capture her own briefly in a small kiss.

"I already said, you're mine, I'm not letting you go, not again."

"Again…?"

"Not ever, Ken. Nothing is going to block my path for you, my Ken. I simply can't let you go now."

She finished off, making him smile, and hug her tightly.

"I never thought...anyone would like me like that...but, Kacchan, who I really...Kacchan is mine too...please don't disappear...too many people disappear from my life, I've lost too many people...and you're so important to me..."

Katsuki sensed how more innocent the way he said it than she did and how vulnerable he looked right now, told her many things about him.

"I'm not going to disappear, you don't have to worry. Also, just because I kissed you, doesn't mean I don't want to kick your ass either."

"Kacchan?"

"Yeah, I saw you today, you genius bastard. Smart techniques you came up with there and how you fought Todoroki. I do want to fight you, I am going to become the Number one Hero one day, and you, are strong, so I'll have to face you as well."

Kenji adopted a smile onto his face.

"I shouldn't expect anything different from you Kacchan. But, that's why I really like you, you inspire me to try harder too. But, you think you can take me, do you Kacchan?"

Inside, she wouldn't express it, but she was glad that she did, and it made her all the more happy.

"Yeah, I can take you. I'll beat your ass."

Kenji leaned closer, and smirked, as did Katsuki.

"I'd like to see you try Kacchan..."

Katsuki pushed Kenji down onto the bed, and pinned him to the bed, making him chuckle as she did as well.

"I'll kick your ass, and then you'll be my trophy husband or something in the future..." Realizing what she just said, her cheeks tinged pink. "W-Wait, husband...o-oh damn it, I mean...great, now that's what Mom would say...y-you're not my husband Ken! Y-You're my guy, that's it!"

Kenji's blush deepened, his arms snaking around her as he sat up with her on his lap.

"Trophy husband huh..."

"I didn't mean it like that!"

Kenji chuckled, while Katsuki rolled her eyes.

"Well, trophy husband means to be desired, right?"

"Heh, I guess so, in a way. Also...what you said then about learning off mistakes...I hate relying on others...but, I can rely on you...so, lets train together more. I don't know about what you said...but, I can definitely work with you, you understand me well, we can work together to become stronger."

It was a start, he knew that. Though he knew she was prideful, and still held that with her, if she was asking for his help, even in an indirect way, when she really didn't before, he knew that this was a turning stone for Katsuki, and he was going to be beside her, no matter what.

"Yeah, I'd like that Kacchan."

Katsuki slowly nodded, and deeply looked into his black and white eyes.

"Now, come back to my place."

It was more of an order, but he didn't mind as he found it quite attractive when she did things like this.

"Sure, Kacchan...it's getting late though."

"Stay over, I want you, in my bed, right now, with nothing but your underwear on."

Her words were sexually charged, and she wanted Kenji. He was so surprised by her forwardness, but he also liked this side of Katsuki, it was a surprise, but a very happy surprise at the same time.

"K-Kacchan, y-you sound so full of desire, I like this side of you Kacchan..."

"That's because I am, because of you, my Ken. And you do huh. Good, because you'll see a lot more of it when we're alone."

She admitted, causing Kenji to blush even more.

She hopped off the bed, and dragged his body upwards. Though he felt weak from healing Izuku, he could walk enough with her support, her arms around his torso.

"Ugh...I am tired..."

"All the more reason to get to bed, Ken."

They began walking out of the room together, and smiled in content, and began going back to Katsuki's place.


Upon arriving outside, the pair holding one another's hands, Kenji saw that at the gates, Shoto was stood there, looking a little lost.

Looking towards Katsuki who sighed, he bowed his head.

"Kacchan, I'm going to go and see Todoroki-san for a moment, okay? There's, something that I need to ask."

She sighed, but consented with a nod as she kissed his cheek.

"Don't be long."

Kenji nodded as a result, and walked closer towards Shoto.

Inhaling slowly, and exhaling slowly, Kenji moved closer, and made it to Shoto. Shoto's eyes glanced at Kenji, and remembered what happened during the battle. She looked at both of her hands, her ice, and fire side. Then her eyes went towards Kenji, who offered a smile.

"I almost...used it today, a few times."

"Your fire, you mean?"

Shoto looked at her hand once more, and then back at Kenji.

"You...exceeded my expectations, Mikami-kun. The way you fight, is tactile, and brilliant, your Quirk usage is intelligent, the way you use it, I never would have imagined. I have to admit, I came so close to unleashing my fire...but, each time I was going to, my mind went back to my Father...his disgusting flames, I don't want to rely on that power. But, I was tempted today, several times...what does that say about me? That monsters flames..."

Kenji looked at the trembling girl, placing a hand over her own hand. Shoto's eyes widened slightly, glancing back at the boy who continued to smile.

"You, are very powerful Todoroki-san, and today, you overpowered me, though I technically won the battle with Momo-chan, I lost the fight to you."

"...I still lost in the end, I lost sight of my goal, in order to test myself against you, yet, you didn't lose sight, not even once. I have to admire that about you."

"Well, that's because Momo-chan would have chewed me out, but yeah...Todoroki-san, can I ask...the reason your Hero costume covers your fire side, are you ashamed to have his fire?"

Shoto's eyes flicker, remembering what her Father had done to her...

But then her eyes went towards Kenji who just smiled at her.

"...Aren't you ashamed of his Quirk? Your Father's?"

"...I am, but my Quirk, is not his Quirk. I learned that recently, but I find it hard to accept it. Todoroki-san, if you unleashed your flames, you could have taken me out."

"The same goes for your Death, you could have unleashed that and beaten me."

"I was tempted, like you, to unleash it, my dark side."

"...You were?"

Kenji nodded.

"I was, because you're very strong Todoroki-san, stronger than I had predicted." Kenji chuckled lightly, and then placed a hand on her red half of her hair. "I like the colour red, it's nice."

Shoto's face turned slightly red, as Kenji's hand left her hair.

"...Mikami-kun, your Quirk...your Death Quirk...are you scared of using it?"

"I'm scared, of hurting someone...but, I have used it before, to save people, I used it to help before. I hate my Father, I hate his Quirk, but it is powerful, it can help me. I fear what I could do with it...but, I don't want to be afraid of it. I am afraid of my Father, Todoroki-san, when the class talked about it with me and I said he was my worst nightmare...that's because he truly is my worst nightmare. And I don't pretend to know everything that's gone down with your own Father, but I do know you, and you're very nice Todoroki-san, and your flames...I am sure that they'd be very beautiful to see." Even more, Shoto's face began to burn red, without her even realizing it. "Todoroki-san, it's okay, to use your fire, because it is you. I know it sounds stupid coming from someone who refuses to use their Death Quirk...but, I can say, I am sure you'd be able to use his Quirk...no, your Quirk. Will you, show me your flames next time? Because, one day, I want us to go all out with our duel Quirk's. Your fire and ice, and my Life and Death."

Shoto's face turned upwards slightly, into a small smile.

Kenji watched as her eyes met with his own.

"...Mikami-kun, I...yes, I would like that too. And thank you, for the match today...it has taught me many things, not just about myself...but, about you as well. And...I saw you, when you had healed Midoriya, you pushed yourself too hard for everyone around you, so they can be happy. I feel...you inspire me, so much. I see how you are, with everyone, how even after they say terrible things about you and they put you down, you don't hold it against them, when you have every right too, and stand back up. You continue to smile, and say "I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere, so lets deal with it together." which, I truly do like about you."

"T-Todoroki-san..."

"Mikami-kun..."

Shoto brushed a lock of her hair out of her face, as she took a step forward. But, her foot caught on a rock before her, and fell against Kenji, who caught the girl in his arms and her arms fell around him, something that Katsuki really didn't like.

"Hey, are you okay Todoroki-san?"

Shoto looked up at him, her head against his chest, and flushed lightly.

"Y...Yes, I am sorry about that, Mikami-kun. By the way, you're holding me...I wonder if that means we're together..."

"Eh...?"

Kenji drew a blank as Shoto furrowed her eyebrows.

"I don't really understand relationships, but you are the first man to ever hold me in such a manner, and I do not dislike it, and I have read somewhere that hugging is an act of a relationship...hmmmm..."

Kenji's face turned a small shade of red at what she was saying, but Katsuki wasn't having any of it.

"BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!" Katsuki yelled, and leapt towards them, glaring right at Shoto who stared back normally. "Why are you holding onto him Icy Hot bitch!?"

Shoto looked at the close proximity that she was to Kenji, and where her arms were, her hands laying on his lower back.

"I see, you are jealous of me?"

"I am not jealous of you! Ken and I are together, so screw you Icy Hot bitch!"

Shoto looked between the awkwardly looking Kenji, and the blazing Katsuki, and laid her head on Kenji's shoulder, igniting rage within Katsuki.

"Thank you, for our talk Mikami-kun, I feel much better."

"Ah, I'm glad Todoroki-"

"Bitch! Off him now!" She forced Shoto off Kenji, and wrapped her arms protectively around Kenji's waist, pulling him closer, her eyes glaring like daggers at Shoto who narrowed her eyes back. "Hmph, you totally can try, Todoroki, but Ken is my boy, and if you want a fight, come and fight me for him."

"...I might just do that."

Kenji looked surprised, while Katsuki's eyes blazed furiously.

"Tch, you can you try Todoroki, just because I lost my match today, I'll become the strongest. Enjoy it while you can, because I'm going to become the strongest, and I'll defeat you as well."

"I see, I look forward to the day we have a match."

Shoto and Katsuki held glares for one another, and didn't back down. Kenji looked between them, and it oddly felt like a rivalry was heating up between the two beauties.

"K-Kacchan, come on now, lets get to bed, okay?"

He called, trying to diffuse the situation.

Katsuki paused her anger movement, and looked towards Shoto, and smirked, placing a hand on Kenji's butt, and squeezed it, making him jump.

"You're right Ken, lets get to bed. Bye Icy Hot bitch."

"Ehehehe...goodbye Todoroki-san, see you tomorrow. Sorry for the sudden hug and all."

"No, that's fine...I look forward to tomorrow, Mikami-kun."

With that said, they turned around and walked away together.

Shoto noticed something as she watched them walk away, her heart beat had increased, and she finally felt the flushing on her cheeks. What it was, she didn't know, but it only seemed to happen when Kenji was around...


Meanwhile, somewhere else entirely, Grim Reaper casually sat in his office, watching something on his computer. What appeared was a very young Kenji, around the age of 4-5 years old, and a younger Hikari, with another girl there as well who was slightly older than Kenji, as Grim Reaper himself, walking through the door, having a camera station somewhere to get them all in the shot.

[Dear! Dear, it happened!]

Hikari happily clapped her hands together, confusing Grim Reaper in the video.

[What has, dear?]

Hikari pushes Kenji forward who held out his hands, white energy and black miasma in his hands.

[It's Kenji, he's developed your Quirk too! Look, it's so beautiful isn't it?]

The video Grim Reaper turned towards Kenji as he smiled brightly.

[Isn't it cool Daddy!? I'm gonna be like you and Mommy~]

The young girl flicked Kenji in the head with a playful smirk.

[Don't think so you dweeb~ I'm going to be the strongest.]

[Mouu...don't pick on me...]

IRL Grim Reaper showed a slight smile at the sight.

[Hey now, no fighting. But, Kenji, you've really developed my Quirk too, I'm so proud of you. I'll teach you many cool things, I'll teach you how to use your Quirk to do many things like I do. With a duel Quirk like yours, you'll become a beacon of hope one day, so strong.]

[Yes, yes Daddy!]

Hikari giggled, placing her hand on both of the children's heads.

[My, we're so cool. But, Kenji, don't forget my Quirk too, it is cooler than your Dads~]

[She's right dweeb, so much cooler, like me.]

Video Grim Reaper showed a dissatisfied smile.

[Heh, I don't think so. Kenji, who's cooler, me or your Mom?]

4 year old Kenji placed a hand to his mouth, but then looked to his Mom.

[Mommy~] Grim Reaper sweat dropped as Hikari giggled. [But, I wanna be as strong as Daddy! You can beat All Might, can't you Daddy?]

Video Grim Reaper showed a slightly forced playful smile, while IRL Grim Reaper showed a darker smile.

[Well, I don't know, he's quite powerful, I probably could beat some other people though, but I don't plan on fighting any Hero's anytime soon.]

[Hehe, but you're the strongest Daddy! You're equal to All Might who's the top Hero! I want to be just like you one day! Strong, and awesome as well as saving the day with your awesome Quirk! Even Mommy as well! I got the best Quirk's ever! I'm Life and Death man...]

[That name sucks, you'll have to come up with something better.]

The little girl said, playfully poking child Kenji's cheek.

[Mouu...I will do...but Daddy?]

[Yes?]

[I'm going to become the best Hero now! Will you help me!?]

Child Kenji asked, jumping into his Father's arms, which in turn made the man smile.

[Yes, of course I will. I'll teach you many things, and show you why I rank where I do.]

[Hmmm. Dear, don't forget my ranking, I am in the top ten as well~ You might be higher than me, but I am no pushover~]

Hikari giggled, Grim Reaper chuckled lightly.

[Yes, I never will underestimate you, even All Might would be scared if you got angry. Even I'm scared when you're angry.]

[That's because she's awesome~]

The young girl giggled, as Kenji smiled at his Father brightly.

[Thank you Daddy for teaching me, I'm glad I got your Quirk, I love you~]

Grim Reaper IRL, adopting a small smile, looked between all of them, before the door opened, so he closed the computer, and looked to see Himiko casually walking in.

"Mouuu, my knife is gone now, I feel so empty without it. Damn handy bastard, I wish I could slice his throat."

Grim Reaper gave the girl a bemused smile.

"I see, I'll get you a new knife."

Himiko's eyes brightened immensely.

"Really!?"

Grim Reaper inclined his head.

"That's right, I'll get you the best kind of knife, pick one out and I'll get it. Want a Gunblade? They look cool, I might modify my scythe to become like that, shoot out my Death easier."

Himiko looked super excited while Grim Reaper's grin grew.

"Thank you! Thank you! Gunblade sounds cool! A Gunknife would be awesome! Ooh, I wish I had one that could contend with All Might...but, you can, can't you Dad? You're stronger than All Might, right?"

Grim Reaper paused, remembering what was said on the video.

This time, he chuckled.

"Hmmmm, honestly, in the past, at his maximum, he'd probably be able to beat me. But now...as he is, it's fair game. Who knows, not even I know if I could or he could, but it would be interesting to see. In fact, we soon will." Himiko looked confused, so Grim Reaper continued. "Because, soon, we'll be making our come back. I think this is a good enough time for us to show that we're still here. And, I've got the perfect place to begin."

"Hmmmm?"

His eyes turned upwards into delight, and he began chuckling.

"I was just watching something that gave me a reminder of something, and what you said then. Yes, I think the world's been a little too comfortable, it's time to make this world sweat a little more, as well as that Quirk stealing bastard since I've just got some information about the Nomu's which interests me...this world is going to have a rude awakening soon, and All Might...yes, I wonder who is stronger between us now? But remember, never underestimate your opponents, even a weakened All Might is the top Hero, so we'll have to be careful."

"Shall I gather the troops?!"

Grim Reaper chuckled, petting her head.

"Right now, I'm not waging war, I've got other assignments for them. This is just an opener, it is about time for me to make my comeback. Himiko, we're going to have a lot of work to do soon. I hope you can handle it?"

"Yup, leave it to me~ I've always got your back Dad, and when we get Kenji-kun on our side, and your wife, it's going to be one big happy family~"

"You're right, one big happy family. Things are about to get interesting, because the world is going to fear the name, Grim Reaper."

Himiko clapped her hands again and again together happily, while Grim Reaper kept smirking.

Something, was about to begin.


End chapter!

Hikari and Endeavour appeared this chapter, and it seems that they get along, and at least Endeavour recognizes Hikari's skills as he's more calm with her around than he usually is. So, the battle trial happened! Katsuki learned a few things from that, and Izuku showed what he can do. And because of his smarts, it seems the class are beginning to see just what Kenji is made of, and slowly are beginning to accept him, even more so with his plan with Momo, and how they executed it as best as they could, and adjusted as needed also showing how much they trust one another to depend on the other, which also began something to stir within Shoto, and how she feels about Kenji which we'll see more of later. And finally, Katsuki and Kenji, after their dance with emotions, Kenji telling Katsuki how it is, and planting the seeds as it were to help her see a few things, not changing her completely or anything but beginning to help her see a few new concepts, finally took the plunge and kissed one another, and can be considered a couple now. Katsuki certainly thinks so, and Kenji might do as well, but that shall make the other girls all the more determined. Finally, it seems Grim Reaper's going to be making an appearance soon to the other characters, but what's he after? And who's the little girl on the video? We'll find out eventually!

Also, a few people have been asking after Kenji's, Hikari's, and Grim Reaper's stats, like most of the canon characters have, so I'll display them down below for anyone that's interested.

Kenji.

Power; 5/5

Speed; 4/5

Technique; 5/5

Intelligence; 6/5

Cooperativeness; 3/5

Hikari.

Power; 3/5

Speed; 5/5

Technique; 6/5

Intelligence; 4/5

Cooperativeness; 6/5

Grim Reaper.

Power; 5/5

Speed; 6/5

Technique; 6/5

Intelligence; 6/5

Cooperativeness; 2/5

So yeah, that's the stats for them, Hikari isn't a powerhouse, but she more than makes up for it in technique and other areas, Grim Reaper is pretty much a powerhouse as most expected with him being fast, techniques being high (as we'll see in the future) and his intelligence, something that Kenji inherited from him, and Kenji's highest stat is his intelligence like Momo, with being proficient in most areas like Shoto and Katsuki, and an average cooperative stat.

Well, until next time! Thanks for reading!

Kenji; Momo, Himiko, Katsuki (fem), Mina, Shoto (fem), Toru, Mt Lady, Midnight, Tsuyu, Jiro.

Izuku/Ochaco.
