The gentle breeze carried alone the voices of students as they chatted about what they would do, who they wanted to sign with and other small thing. The sun shined brightly as the heat hung in the dry air. A few feet away however, was me. I had spend the last 43 and a half minutes going over possible teams of me and my fellow students.

I had finally gotten a teacher to make time and agree to be the opponent for a training bout, and I was told 5 people were needed or there was no challenge. Midnight was the person in question, and she was possible one of the best choices for this. She was well known for her Quirk, but many people did not know she was a force to fear when it came to close combat. That mixed with the risk of ripping her clothes made her a great opponent to force me and others to come up with a solid plan.

So far I had me and Tsuyu, Kacchan had turned me down. I had to think with a plan in mind, I cant just choose who I know how to fight with. Tsuyu made sense, our teamwork was solid and her tongue made it easier for her to attack without getting in range of Midnight's sleeping Quirk, plus she could pull me back if I was in danger of getting caught in her Quirk.

Mina, while I enjoyed working with her, was a bad choice over all due to how her Quirk worked on clothe. She would either be without her Quirk or leaving Midnight full of opening for her Quirk to work.

Tenya was also a no. I thought at first maybe he would work, but he would not work as well in the forest area we had agreed to use. In a more open area, he would had been a great choice for a hit and run tactic.

Mineta was… no.

Ochako was a tough one. Her Quirk gave me a lot of room to make great plans, but she would have troubled keeping up in the tight knitted woods, and would be an easy target for someone like Midnight who was famous for picking on the weakest in the group.

I needed people who were fast, could move about freely in the woods and had good defence. We had to be able to work well together and each person needed to be able take the lead if one of us falls.

"you seem to be lost in the sky bro" Kirishima said, patting my back to snap me out of it. I looked up at my friend and a smile started to form. He would be a good choice, Midnight was famous for her whip. Having someone who could tank the hits for us would be great, plus he was a great front line fighter.

"hey, you wouldn't happen to be free later today? I got Midnight to agree to a training match, and I need 3 more people". He returned my mile with far more enthusiasm.

"I am in, I can't wait to have you watching my back bro" with that I was down to just two more to find. I needed someone who would help Tsuyu with ranged battle, maybe able to pull us back like she could.

"do you think you could get Sero to join?" I had seem the two of them chat every once in a while. He nodded, seeming to like the idea of him on the team.

"Ok, I will go for my other pick, text me if he agrees or not" I left after getting a friendly punch to my arm and started back into the school, I think I knew where he was.

Todoroki was just wandering about the roof, he often came here after a workout or a test. He turned when he heard my footsteps and we held an uneasy stare for a few moments. I was still unsure how to face him after our battle.

"Midoriya" he broke the silence first, and I was thankful he had done so.

"Todoroki, I have a favor to ask" I had gone over it many times in my head, his Quirk was perfect for creating walls and pinning an enemy down. His fire half was also a good strong finish if we needed to throw everything at the wall. His timing, reflex and judgment would help me if I over look any details in a plan.

"I need a fifth person for a bout with Midnight, I can't think of a better person I'd rather have than you" I did not want to undersell how much I through his presence would do for us. He nodded, even smiled at my question.

"I would like that" I was happy, I think we have a good chance at winning this.

"okay, so everyone ready?" Midnight asked, toying with her whip. She no longer had the cute little cat-o-nines she had at the sports festival, now wielding a long thin whip she was often seen using on villains.

"aye" Sero was the first to speak, he was overall enthused to be part of a group battle. He seemed to think he worked better with someone else calling the shots.

I was still nervous, under Midnight's flirty and cheerful smile was Hero who had lived through more battles then days I had been alive, when the battle starts we would be facing a real pro.

"Okay~ then I will give you all a good and long punishment" her eyes were scary, she was honestly enjoying the idea of beating.

"get, I will give you 5 minutes to get yourselves lost in the forest before I come and find you all" she winked at the word 'come'. She covered her eyes and mockingly started to count as if this was a game.

We made use of the time, trying to head as deep into the forest as possible, hoping the tight spaces would make using the whip harder for her, but it would only be a slight annoyance to her in the long run. I was in front with Kirishima, taking the middle of Tsuyu and Sero while Todoroki covered out back. It seem to make the most sense, the one with physical Quirks in front, the ranged in the middle and the all around best in the back. Todoroki would be able to spot Midnight before she sneaks up on us, and with Sero and Tsuyu in the middle the chance of them getting jumped was very low.

We stopped after the five minutes were up. Sero had suggested we chose to fight in an area we thought we had the upper hand. We chose a small opening, not too open for her to freely use her whip, but not too dense that she could sneak up on her and pick us off.

The time we spent waiting for her seem to last forever, every sound and movement made the tension in the air grow. When she finally did show herself, I swore my heart stopped. She did not really do anything, she stepped into the clearing, no attacks or loud sounds. But her eyes were chilling, a hardened look.

"found you" she lacked the cute and sexy tease her voice usually had, now replaced with a cold and dead voice. I had seen pros in work, I had watched All Might fighting, but looking at a pro who saw you as an enemy was a feeling I never want to feel again.

I tapped Kirishima on his shoulder and we both rushed her, coming from different angles to stop her from attacking us both at once. Todoroki carefully aimed as he would let loose a flurry of ice in attempts to keep her away from us and to catch her feet. Sero and Sero would take turns attacking while the other looked for a chance to pull an ally in danger away. We had gone over our roles, and we agreed this was the best sports for us all.

Midnight smiled cutely as she watched us run around to attack her from both sides, almost amused. She lunged at Kirishima and planted a knee in his gut. He had hardened, but still look like he was ready to puke. I was not spared, her whip had wrapped around my leg and before I could react she pulled my leg out from under me. I hit the ground with a pained grunt, and soon a scream as she pulled me towards her. I would have been in front of her and helpless if not for Tsuyu who blindsided Midnight with a tongue to her temple. I freed myself and looked back at my allies, Kirishima had been dragged back to Sero who was helping him to his feet, Todoroki was shooting shards of ice at her covering Kirishimas escape.

I took this chance to buy him some time to regain his wit. I charged at Midnight who dodged my first kick by side stepping. I had better luck with my punch, a well timed smash to her knee. She growled as her knee gave out after the hit. I was not gonna let up after getting such a lucky hit in. I went in for a second punch only to suddenly feel the choking grip of her whip around my neck. I fought back but was helpless as she pulled my face close to her own.

"you are really making this fun" she breathed out, with her voice came a sweet smell. I cursed myself, I should have guessed she could emit the smell from her mouth as well. I quickly lost my grip on the world, I gave in and closed my eyes and fell forwards only barely hearing her as I feel asleep.

"oh, how bold"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I awoke with a burning pain on my arm, my screams quickly stopped the pain. Todoroki looked away, slightly ashamed that he had to burn me to wake me up.

"thanks" I weakly mutter, while it was the best way to wake up someone under Midnight's 'spell' it still hurt like hell.

I looked at how the fight was going. Kirishima had been able to keep her in the clearing while Sero covered him. Kirishima looked fairly beaten up, his body covered in small red marks from where the whip must had failed to dig into his hardened body.

"throw me in" I say, standing up and offering Tsuyu my hand. She nodded and wrapped her tongue around my arm an flung me back into the fray. I was able to soar back Kirishima and land a kick to Midnight's chest. While I forced her to take a few steps back Sero pulled Kirishima to safety to catch his breath. I pulled away from Midnight and was happy to see a wall of ice crashing towards her, only to have her shatter it with a strong few lashes of her worn down whip.

"Ohh did you miss my embrace young Midoriya? I was surprised by the boldness you showed" she hugged her hips and wiggled as she talked about my…boldness? I had little time to think too deeply, as I was barely saved from a lash to the face by an ice pillar raising to take the blow.

"don't let her distract you" I heard a warning from Sero and I cursed myself for my foolishness. I threw the odd remark away and dashed at her, failing to land my first few hits on her. She danced just out of my reach while still making sure not to be caught by Todoroki's blasts of ice. We traded missed blows until Kirishima flew back into action with a heavy overhead strike that smacked into Midnight's gut and as she winced in pain I jumped on the opening and let off a 5% smash to her face, the first I had even landed at such a low percent. She stumbled back, coughing.

"ohh dear, I am more use to being the one dealing pain, I will have to repay you for the foreplay" she softly hummed before I felt a sharp pain sink across my face, and the feeling of blood leaking from my face. I stumbled back in intense pain as the world around my started to yell in chaos.

When I finally wiped my face and swallowed down my pain, the battle had taken a massive turn for the worse. Kirishima was slowly passing out while being chocked by Midnight's whip. Sero launched his tape to try and save his friend, but Midnight was ahead of him, grabbing his tape before it reached Kirishima and pulled with a surprising amount of force, forcing Sero off his feet and tumbling towards her. With one clean hit to his temple he was out cold. I ran over to help both my passed out and passing out friend. Todoroki followed, creating a bridge of ice to get there faster. Tsuyu grabbed Sero with her tongue and pulled him away from the fray.

By the time I had reached her, Kirishima had passed out and was kindly released from the whip. I drew her attention, swinging my fists at her in an attempt to get her away from Kirishima. She willingly joined the dance, dodging and smacking me with a few soft playful hits. I catch Tsuyu pulling Kirishima away, and Todoroki sliding in to take his place. Midnight was softly panting, the few hits we had landed were starting to slow her, and she was using too much energy trying to keep herself from getting caught in ice or by my smash.

She was aware of how the battle was going and put most of her time in taking Todoroki down, while he was smart enough to keep himself at a good distance and block her whip with his ice. I made a quick choice, waving Tsuyu into the battle. We were gonna need all we had for this.

"Todoroki, aim for her feet and pin her, I will give you the opening" I shouted as I leaped at Midnight, Tsuyu rushing in after me. While me and Kirishima did have some nice teamwork, Tsuyu and me were perfectly in sync. I would weave in and cover Midnight's view of Tsuyu, giving her an opening to attack when I weaved out. Midnight was losing ground, she had been really worn out by the time Tsuyu jumped in, while Tsuyu was rested and had time to study how Midnight fought. Even with all this, Midnight was smiling like a child in a candy store as she lashed out with her whip at me.

Midnight had landed a lucky hit on my ribs, forcing my breath to leave me. I was grabbed by my hair before I could get away. I held my breath as I recalled her breath was also able to render me asleep. Seeing this she let out a wicked cackle.

"ohh you will resist? I love a good struggle~" she hummed into my ear, but instead of attacking or trying to get me to breath, she threw me away from her and caught Tsuyu by the hair as she jumped in to save me. I landed a good distance away as I watched Tsuyu struggle in midnight's grip.

"A cute girl jumps in to rescue a lover~ I just can't take it" she sang out before passionately kissing Tsuyu, who slowly stopped her struggle. Pulled out of the kiss, a string of saliva still linking the two of them. Tsuyu made a softly moan before her body went lip. I was dumbstruck, I was too lost in the bewildering scene in front of me. Luckily Todoroki was less shaken and took this chance to freeze Midnight's feet to the ground.

"NOW" I crouched down and leaped at the pinned woman.

"ALL FOR ONE: FROGS LEAP" I crashed into her, smashing her hard onto a tree and before either of us could move, Ice encased us together to the tree. I felt a rush of joy and pride as I proclaimed.

"our win" my pride soon blew away in the wind as I was stuck with my head resting on her shoulder and her hands wrapped around my body. A sick smirk was painted on her face as she looked at us.

"I see, you really wanted to get close to me? Why not just come out and ask? Then again I do like your shyness~ let me help you grow into a man~!" she teased, I would have fought back with my own words, but as I breathed in I found myself struggling to keep my eyes open.

"but you did win, so why not sleep, we will wake you up after this is all cleared up.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I woke up on the grass near the training field. I was lost for the first few seconds, wondering where I was, what had happened and was everyone okay. I was not in the nurses office for once, but I was still clearly bandaged and treated, so who brought me out here?

"Awake?" I turned to the speaker, Tsuyu.

"it seems" I laughed out as I slowly sat up. My face still burned from the place the whip bit me. I looked at her and smiled.

"we won, it was a tough battle and a lot messier than I had hoped, BUT we won!" I winced as the movement it took to show how happy I was caused me a great deal of pain. Tsuyu patted my head at my silliness.

"you took a beating, you were the only one we needed to burn, and you were covered in blood by the end" she laughed, still worried but also understanding that it had to be done.

"well I was not the only one to go down… so I am okay with it" I laughed, she had easily taken four of us down, even if I got back up. My laughed stopped suddenly as I recalled how she took Tsuyu down.

"you okay?" she asked at my sudden silence. My cheeks were glowing at this point. Catching on fairly fast Tsuyu blushed a little and spoke up.

"she is a good kisser" I rubbed my neck as she said that.

"yea?" I know I would be thinking about how she kissed her for a while.

"it was an interesting first kiss"

"first? I am so sorry" I felt a wave of guilt, I had cost her a first.

"why?" she asked with a cute croak, she was cute when she croak.

"you were caught trying to save me" I should have watched myself better and not put Tsuyu in the spot she was in.

"do you feel bad? It was the right thing to do, besides I am sure some would be jealous that my first kiss was Midnight" she croaked again, a sweet smile followed the croak. I was unsure how to handle this, I had always thought a girl treasured her first kiss, then again Tsuyu had proven to me many times that I knew little about woman.

"it does not bug you?" she looked at me with a rather large smile for her.

"I don't, besides I Still can have my first kiss with a boy" I guess that made sense, but I still felt bad.

"if it makes you feel better, you can treat me." I smiled, happy she gave me some way to repay her.

"okay, what do you want?" I was thinking maybe a cafe, or grabbing a few of those jelly cups she and her family seemed fond of.

"a movie" I was not really expecting that, it was a little like a date. I could not say no now, even if it was the first time I would be taking a girl to the movies, just us.

"o-ok, what were you hoping to see?" I cursed myself for stuttering.

"you can pick" she did not have anything in mind? I was surprised.

"okay, when were you hoping to go?" I assumed she would need to set it up so her brother and sister were taken care off.

"I am free tomorrow" that would work, tomorrow was my cool down day from training. I was just gonna catch up on some forms and see if there was any news about the other me.

"that works for me too" I would have to look up movies tonight and see if there was anything that would work for me and Tsuyu.

"deal" she said, gripping my hand with her tongue to shake it. I looked away and started to burn up.

"y-yea" her tongue still felt as nice as ever. It was odd that she would shake my hand like this, knowing about my Tongue fixation. Soon her tongue let my hand go, but she just leaned closer to me and rested her head on my shoulder. The breeze blew pass us as we sat there, her leaning on me and my head finding rest on her head.

I wish this could last forever, me with Tsuyu.

I was gonna add 3000 more words, but I think it would be better to split it into 2 chapters and work on the outline for the hero Killer arc while I do.
