Hey, guys! Here is the sixth chapter of Grand World War! The Union prepare to take on the first two parts of the Training Exams, hoping to increase their strength and teamwork. Hope you liked it.


Chapter 6 – Training Exams: Part One


It was right now 7:15 AM, and everyone up and about having breakfast before getting ready for 1st Period. They were all informed of what happened last night of Naruto and the other Acts of Hope's encounter with Reggie and Brokko.

"So you guys were attacked last night?" Kid asked.

"We got lucky." Soul replied.

"Luck only got us this far." Izuku commented.

"Just glad you'd all worked as a team to take'em down." Kiba commented.

Black*Star was eating his large plate like a vacuum.

"I could've taken those guys in my sleep!" Black*Star hollered, while eating.

Tsubaki sighed.

"Could've taken them out in one shot." Bakugo commented.

"You weren't even there, explosion freak." Velvet growled.

"Say that to my face, demon hag!" Bakugo hollered.

Velvet scoffed at Bakugo and turned to the opposite side, angering the Explosion Quirk user even further.

Everyone else began to back away.

"Bakugo has lots of issues." Spike commented.

"You have no idea, sweet cheeks." Mineta muttered.

"Did you say something?" Spike asked.

"N-Nothing!" Mineta replied.

"By the way, where's Sorey and Ichigo?" Edna asked.

"They're with Sakura-chan, Ino and Lailah-san in the infirmary healing those two wolves they found." Naruto replied.

In the infirmary, Sakura, Ino and Lailah were healing the injuries of the two wolves.

Sorey and Ichigo were watching with small concern.

The Healing Trio were just about finished.

"They're both fully healed." Sakura said.

"But… are you two really sure about this?" Lailah asked.

Sorey nodded.

"We got this." Sorey replied.

Sakura, Ino and Lailah left, leaving only Sorey, Ichigo and the two wolves alone.

Sorey petted the tan brown one gently, as did Ichigo with the black one.

"You think they'll get along with everyone?" Sorey asked.

"Including Mikleo I hope." Sorey thought." Sorey thought, having a sweat drop on his forehead.

Ichigo chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Sorey asked.

"Nothing. Just feeling nostalgic." Ichigo replied.

The black wolf was the first to wake up and looked at Ichigo.

Ichigo began to smile.

"Glad you're awake. I'm Ichigo." Ichigo said.

Ichigo and the black wolf stared at each other for a few seconds before it licked Ichigo's face.

"And he's just like Blue." Ichigo thought.

"Never would've guessed I'd be saved by a human." The black wolf thought.

"I'll call you… Sirius. Like it?" Ichigo asked.

The black wolf, named Sirius, smiled.

"Guess I'll call this one… Hige!" Sorey hollered.

The other wolf, named Hige, barked happily.

"I second that!" Hige hollered.

A new bond forged between two men and two wolves.

In the HUB mission control room, Kakashi conducted a meeting with Toshiro, Alisha, Sergei, Stein, Blair, All Might, Aizawa, Endeavor and Gran Torino concerning last night's attack.

"Who would've imaged the enemy almost got the drop on us, huh?" Gran Torino asked.

"They ain't taking any chances." Sergei said.

"We need to come up with ways to help the gang prepare for the worst." Endeavor explained.

(A/N: Endeavor's now more relaxed and focused. But is now keeping his distance from Shoto instead of the usual abusive attitude towards him.)

Blair was sleeping, not listening to the conversation, irritating Toshiro.

"Are you listening or just sleeping on the job?!" Toshiro asked, in an angry manner.

"Either she had a hangover with Matsumoto, or being like the usual housecat she acts like." Stein explained.

Toshiro angrily sighed.

"Anyway, we need a way to improve their skills." Alisha explained.

"That is a good point, young Alisha." All Might said.

"What do you think we should do, Aizawa?" Kakashi asked.

"Well… I have an idea…" Aizawa replied.

Outside the workshop, Sorey and Ichigo introduced Hige and Sirius to their respective groups as they wait for Naruto and the others.

"Glad to see you two bonded with your new pets nicely." Lailah explained.

"You're incredible, Sorey-san." Laphicet commented.

"First Blue, now these two." Chad commented.

"It's like fate's giving us something good." Uryu explained, adjusting his glasses.

Sorey tossed a slab of fresh meat to Hige, who caught it in an instant.

"Hehehe, guess Hige loves food the moment he sees it." Sorey commented.

"So good!" Hige hollered.

Mikleo was hiding behind Chad, due to his fear of dogs.

"Why did he have to make friends with a dog?" Mikleo asked.

"Don't be such a chicken, Meebo." Edna said, poking Mikleo with her umbrella.

"Stop that!" Mikleo hollered.

Velvet and Eizen chuckled at Edna teasing Mikleo's phobia.

"Your sister's a real piece of work." Velvet commented.

"That's just how she rolls." Eizen said.

Chad began to have a sweat drop on his forehead.

"At least everyone's having a good time." Orihime commented.

Orihime then looked at Rose, who was starting at Sorey with a blush.

Orihime gave a light poke to Rose, causing her to jump lightly.

"Are you alright, Rose-san?" Orihime asked.

"Y-Yeah." Rose replied.

Orihime was confused.

"Why am I thinking about Sorey? It's not I like him or anything, right?" Rose thought.

Rose's cheeks began turning a bit red.

The speakers suddenly turned on.

"Attention all members of the Union. Meet at Ground Delta in 6 minutes." Stein explained.

The speakers turned off.

"Guess we better get moving." Ichigo said.

Ichigo shunpoed to the gym area.

Everyone else followed behind.

XXX

Arriving at Ground Delta, the Union began to look to their surroundings on preparing for battle.

"Any idea what kind of training this is?" Ino asked.

"Don't look at me." Liz replied.

"They must have something in mind." Iida said.

"Here's the first lesson." Stein said, through a microphone.

"Is that Stein-sensei?" Maka asked.

Holographic images of predatory dinosaurs like velociraptors, carnotaurus, tyrannosaurus and spinosaurus, as well as larger versions of lions, vultures and polar bears with high levels of rage popped out of nowhere.

"A survival battle against these holographic predators for 1 hour and 30 minutes." Stein explained.

Izuku, Sparx, Orihime, Crona, Shiemi, Ochaco, Ino, Laphicet, Liz, Mineta, Kaminari, Ashido and Kyoka screamed in fright.

"IT'S A MASSACRE!" Sparx, Ochaco, Liz, Mineta, Kaminari and Ashido shouted in unison.

"You've gotta be kidding me?!" Ichigo exclaimed.

"Yahoo! A challenge!" Black*Star hollered in unison.

"How is that okay with you?!" Sirius and Hige exclaimed in unison.

"What a drag." Shikamaru said.

"Tch. Waste of time." Sasuke muttered.

"We got this! Believe it!" Naruto hollered.

Everyone prepared themselves for battle.

XXX

Watching the battle in the control room, Sergei, Stein, Marie, Aizawa and Gran Torino can only wait to see the results.

"Hope the youngsters got this." Gran Torino said.

"We'll just have to believe in themselves." Sergei said.

"Not gonna lie, but this is kinda overpowering for them." Marie explained.

"We appreciate your concerns, dear." Stein said.

"But this is important to get a good look at their progress on how they all function as one unit." Aizawa explained.

"With all of our toughest enemies coming at us and only a few allies on our table…" Aizawa continued.

"… They need to prepare themselves for the worst as a team." Aizawa finished.

Naruto blasted a T-Rex back with his signature technique.

The Union were giving it everything they've got as their teamwork became more balanced despite the bickering, overpowering the predators with a bit of effort into the mix.

"We need to thin their ranks and make it easier!" Maka hollered.

After an hour-and-half have passed by, the entire Union took a small break in the waiting room.

"Looks like we passed for now." Uryu said, adjusting his glasses.

"We still got another part after this." Velvet said.

Naruto suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Midoriya." Naruto said.

"Yeah?" Izuku asked.

"What happened to *held a laugh* him?" Naruto asked.

Naruto pointed to Kaminari, acting like his dumb self with his thumbs up.

"Yay…" Kaminari said.

(A/N: Kaminari's "Brain-Dead" state never gets old!)

"He acts like that whenever he overuses his Quirk." Izuku explained.

"That's a not-cool power." Soul muttered.

Kyoka began to hold her laughter.

"Such an idiot…" Kyoka said.

XXX

In the next 20 minutes, the team began to take a written test to get 20 out of 25 answers correct.

Only Akamaru, Sirius, Hige and Sparx were not allowed to take the test because they ain't humanoid students.

"Gotta time this right." Sakura thought.

"Must proceed with caution." Sai thought.

"Can't fail now." Mikleo thought.

XXX

After 30 minutes were done, the Union handed their tests in and got results.

Most average from 60 to 80%, with a few getting 90 to 100% by a mere chance.

The rest of the day went by smoothly as it was now nighttime; the female members of the Union began to hangout in the common area.

"What a day, eh?" Tenten asked.

"Hahahahaha! It was fun~!" Patty hollered.

"Cool your jets, Patty." Kyoka said.

"We should think of a strategy for the final test tomorrow morning." Momo explained.

"Good point." Sakura said.

"Any ideas?" Maka asked.

Orihime wasn't sure.

"Ochaco-chan. What do you, Hinata-chan and Rose-chan suggest?" Tsuyu asked.

Hinata, Rose and Ochaco were in a train of thought.

"Are you okay?" Tsuyu asked.

Tsuyu gently tapped on Ocacho's shoulder, causing her to jump, which also alerted Hinata and Rose.

"Are you three okay? You all seemed spaced out." Tsuyu explained.

"W-We're fine." Hinata said.

"Don't worry about us!" Rose hollered.

"Nothing's wrong here!" Ochaco hollered.

"We mean…" Hinata said, blushing.

Rose and Ochaco began to blush too.

Maka, Orihime, Ino, Liz, Mina and Kyoka suddenly realize what the trio are thinking.

"We're just…" Rose said.

"… Thinking about other things." Ochaco said.

"It's love!" Mina hollered.

Hearing what Mina said got Hinata, Rose and Ochaco extremely embarrassed.

"W-W-What?!" Hinata exclaimed.

"Glove?! Shove?! Dove?!" Rose and Ochaco exclaimed in unison.

"Who is it? Tell me!" Mina hollered.

"It's nothing like that!" Hinata, Rose and Ochaco hollered in unison.

All three were in extreme denial, but their faces became redder as the conversation grew on.

"Come on~! Tell us!" Ino hollered.

"Now I gotta know." Spike said.

"I wanna know too!" Lailah hollered.

"You three will get a lighter sentence if you each confess." Kyoka said.

"T-T-There's nothing to confess!" Hinata hollered.

"Besides I doubt I know anything about romance!" Rose hollered.

"I never even dated anyone in my life!" Ochaco hollered.

"It's not a good idea to force it out, right?" Tsuyu asked.

"She's right. We've got prepare for tomorrow anyway." Momo explained.

"Aw~! Don't be a party pooper!" Mina hollered.

"This is what girls talk about!" Lailah hollered.

"Why does it matter?" Sakura asked.

"Isn't that what girls like to discuss?" Spike replied.

"Since when do you talk about that, Spike?" Maka asked.

"I'm a girl, Maka!" Spike exclaimed.

Velvet felt a bit irritated.

"Give it a rest why don't ya?" Velvet asked.

Hinata, Rose and Ochaco continue to blush in denial before they saw Naruto, Sparx, Ichigo, Sirius, Sorey, Hige, Soul, Crona, Ragnarok and Izuku sparing quietly in the night.

Watching Naruto, Sorey and Izuku practicing cause amazement within Hinata, Rose and Ochaco.

"It's not it… right?" Hinata, Rose and Ochaco thought in unison.

The feelings they hide might be more important than the three realize.


Preview Skit:

Izuku: Those exams weren't that easy. It's a miracle we made it.

Ochaco: That was too close.

Sakura: Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Izuku: You're right.

Velvet suddenly appeared, with a serious face.

Velvet: We got a problem.

Sakura: What's wrong?

Velvet: Look at this.

Izuku, Ochaco and Sakura looked at the paper in Velvet's hand. All three's expression suddenly changed to surprised.

Sakura: B-But this is…

Ochaco: This is bad!

Velvet: We're in over our heads.

Izuku: We need a plan first.

Ochaco: You're right, Deku-kun!

Izuku: Next time: Chapter 7 – Training Exams: Part Two.
