Hey guys! In this chapter it will be different! I will also be telling you guys of Uraraka's costume difference! :)

I hope you guys like it and let's get this chapter started!

P.S. I just found out this:

The two words for blond/blonde are differently used.

Blond = for male

Blonde = for female

Does that mean I've been calling Bakugou a girl? Wow.

Also, just to say. When Uraraka calls someone by their last name without any suffix, it means she either doesn't know them that well or don't like them. She calls Iida without suffix because she doesn't know him well while Bakugou without suffix because of the problem they have.

Chapter 9: Hero Combat Training.

«»«»«»«»«»

Urakaka didn't even know that the ash blond boy was walking next to her as they exited out of the tunnel with the rest of the class. She didn't even notice him until she felt a heated gaze upon her face.

Tilting her head up, Uraraka barely saw the crimson eyes as he snapped his head away from her and looked straight ahead.

She raised a brow at the surprisingly quiet boy but shook her head in dismiss. It must be your imagination. She ran her fingers down her suit, trying not to show that she was a bit embarrassed of how tight her body suit was. A small sweatdrop was adorned on her face accompanied with a nervous laugh.

I think I should've been more specific...

Her outfit consists of having a black tight sleeveless shirt (which shows off how developed her body actually is) and with long black fingerless gloves till her forearms. A special white corset-ish (without those things on the back) wrapped around her torso, just below her breasts. Her collar is white has one button on each side. She also has the same thing wrapped around her wrists, but they were kinda puffed out like cuffs and had a button on each side as well.

Uraraka specifically told the designer to make her costume in a way so she can perform her pressure points on herself whenever she needs to. Every button that is designed on the costume is the place where she can strike. Well, excluding the costume designer's insignia below her collar. It was only two white dots on a line.

There was also a helmet delievered, which Uraraka didn't even order so it came out as a surprise. It has a protection shield and with two buttons just below her earlobe area. Those pressure spots are for emergencies only. If she strikes those, she won't feel anything in her body for a certain time. However, there will be slight consequences if she ever performs it. And also, because of the helmet, she has to put her hair in a small ponytail, brown auburn strands falling to her cheeks and behind her ears.

As for weapons, she has her two rods strapped beside her hips. If she clicks them together, she will form a metal rod.

But the one thing that Uraraka is excited about using the most are her heavily customized sized thigh-high boots.

Her white thigh-boots are special and were the most techincal and difficult ones of them all. The designer had taken in Uraraka's suggestion and he used her words to make this invention. The boots were created in a way to kinda trick her Quirk into thinking she is anti-graviting when actually it's the opposite. So, instead of going without weight, it will instead increase weight. The weight will begin at ten percent and the limit is a hundred percent. A hundred percent equals the earth floor cracking or stone crates. And there are air compressors on the side, making it let out steam whenever the boots get too heated up.

"That's great everyone! You all look so cool!" All Might's complimented everyone's costume, him grinning widely at the variation styles. "Now, shall we begin, you zygotes?"

Uraraka blinked at the name that he has called her and her classmates.

Everyone was complimenting each other's costumes and she will admit, she did get some flattering ones from the girls and cool comments about her shoes from the boys. Suddenly, she heard a sound of feet tapping behind her while she was adjusting to her helmet with a slight concentrated look. Uraraka looked behind to see that it was Midoriya who was running towards the group.

A grin came on her face when she got a look from his costume. In her opinion, it was very cute and really suited him. There was a few things that were based off of All Might but she guessed a fanboy can't get rid of so easily. Yes, she knows that Midoriya is a huge fan of the number one hero and finds it amusing.

"Midoriya-kun?" She called out and walked towards him, the sound of her boots made quite a sound each time she took a step. Her grin widened when her eyes got even a better close up of his costume. "That looks cool, really down to Earth." Uraraka added as well.

Midoriya slightly jumped from his name being called out but greeted her anyway, "Uraraka-san!-" But he even jumped more when she got closer to him. A small evident of blush came to his cheeks when he got a good look on her costume. His 'imaginary ears' perked up and muffled his sound behind his hands. A very shy demeanor he had on.

A sheepish smile was on Uraraka's face when she saw his shy reaction to her costume. She laughed sheepishly and rubbed her neck. "Yeah, I know. I should've asked a little bit more details."

"No, no, no!" Midoriya waved his hands, thinking he had offended his brunette friend. "It really suits you! And I really like your-" His voice fell out once he got a look at her boots.

"Midoriya-kun?" Uraraka tilted her head. She was confused of the sudden stop.

"Those look amazing!" Midoriya exclaimed, a sudden sparkle was held in his eyes as he was now mumbling plus fanboying. "Those shoes must be very hard to wear, no..maybe they did some very light metal? Titanium? Even though, the air compresser and the cables must be because of her Quirk." He just kept on mumbling.

Wow...Midoriya-kun. I guess your fanboyness is useful.

Uraraka sweat dropped and blinked at her friend who was now mumbling even more to the point she can see visible words of 'mumble, mumble.'

Midoriya Izuku

A sudden shiver fell down Midoriya's spine and snapped his head open only to shiver more. The oh so familiar red crimson eyes were staring at him heatedly. And even more than normal. Really, it was like there was going to be flames pouring out of his eyes.

Kaachan...! He's glaring at me more than usual! Midoriya chuckled and waved his hands at Bakugou who did a loud tch and snapped his head away from the curly green haired boy. Why does he do that whenever I am near Uraraka-san?

He glanced at Uraraka only to see that she was also glancing at Bakugou's direction. He heard a quiet sigh from her lips and Uraraka turned her head away from the angry teenager, clutching her left wrist tightly.

Midoria blinked.

Left wrist?

He moved his orbs back to Bakugou and chocked on his spit when he saw that his childhood friend also glanced at Uraraka and clutched his right wrist quite tightly. His crimson eyes held a lot of emotions, but the ones that Midoriya could read clearly are: pure anger and confusion.

But why is there a small spark of something completely different?

Midoriya watched as Bakugou gritted his teeth quietly and looked away from the brunette, all his emotions once again became guarded.

Confusion clouded his mind as Midoriya kept on darting his head between the two who were ignoring each other unbeknownst. There seemed to be some tension around them, though he didn't think his classmate would even notice.

Again, his green eyes saw them both clutch their wrist. Both having annoyance written on their faces, though Uraraka was trying to hide it while Bakugou was very noticeable.

A click came into his mind and he gaped at the two teenagers in front of him.

No way. Are Kaachan and Uraraka-san...soulmates?

And it proved even more when they both glanced at each other but snapped away once their eyes connected.

He blinked. Twice.

Oh my...This will be very interesting.

«»«»«»«»«»

"Now, it's time for combat training!" All Might announced to the class in front of him.

The boy on Uraraka's right side raised his hand up in the air. He was wearing an all suit that was covering his identity very well. Kinda like a knight."Sir, this is a battle center from the entrance exam. So, will we be conducting urban battles again?" The voice is revealed to be Iida.

Iida looks very cool.

Uraraka smiled lightly and continued to look straight at the teacher.

All Might raised his hand and did a two pointer, raising up two digits. "No, we are going to move ahead two steps! Most of the time, fighting villains takes place outside, but if you look at the total numbers, atrocious villains appear indoor at a higher rate."

The brunette nodded her head in agreement. She remembered there was this time that a villain barged into her apartment, demanding for her family to give him their stuff. Luckily, she was at the right time, at the right place, to disarm him without using her Quirk. Though, she still got a lecture from the police and got grounded by her parents for scaring them half to death.

"Imprisonment, house arrest, backroom deals— In this society filled with heroes, truly intelligent villains hide in the shadows!" All Might said, coughing slightly at the villain part, but was still grinning.

Honestly, Uraraka doesn't know how he can smile so much without getting a strain.

"For this class, you will be split into heroes and villains and fight 2 on 2 indoor battles."

Uraraka could feel the trembling of excitment to the ash blond boy on her left and she couldn't deny that she was also feeling excited. Although, working with a partner will be a bit different for her, as she is used to fighting alone with no help.

Well, She glanced at Midoriya who was standing next to Iida. I did get help from him during the second Exam.

Asui, the frog girl, tilted her head and asked. "Without basic training?"

"This is a real battle to understand those basics! However, the key this time is that there is no robots to beat up."

Then questions started to come from Uraraka's classmates.

"How will wins and losses be determined?"

"Can we beat them up anyway?"

Why did he have to be close to me. I can feel my mark burning!

"Will the punishment be expulsion like with Aizawa-sensei?" Uraraka asked calmly, though in the inside she is the opposite. Unbeknownst to her, a certain boy was also feeling the same about her.

"How shall we be split up?"

"Isn't this cape crazy?"

You can tell that All Might couldn't handle all the questions. He let out a sound, raising his shaking fist in the air, still trying to keep his grin up.

"I will answer all of your questions...!"

«»«»«»«»«»

A few minutes later...

After all of the questions have been answered (All Might internally sighed in relief), it was time for them to be split into teams.

All Might had explained how this will work. Simply, there will be two teams and they must be either heroes or villains. Then, they will be put in on of the building which has a nuclear bomb on the very top floor. The villains must try to protect it while the heroes have to either capture the villains or touch to nuclear bomb to win.

All Might raised a big yellow box with has the words: Lots written in the center.

"Teams and opponents will be determined by drawing lots!" He declared loudly. He started to call out everyone names.

Uraraka was in her thoughts, not noticing the heated stare that she was receiving until her name was called out. Snapping her head up, she came in contact with the pair of crimson eyes.

Pinching. Her mark vines were pinching again. They were trying to urge her to talk to him, make up with him, be with him and stay with him. She broke eye contact with him and walked away, heading towards the box with her head raised high.

I will not show him anything.

Raising her hand up, she placed it inside the box and grabbed a paper out. Touching it with her fingers, Uraraka said outloud her letter. "Number A." She turned her head to the group and landed her eyes on Midoriya who jumped in surprise.

"You are in Team A with Midoriya shonen!" All Might said and slightly nudged her.

Uraraka nodded her head and went towards Midoriya with a wave. She beamed brightly at him, not even noticing his panicked state. "I guess we are in the same team, partner. I'm counting on you."

Midoriya blushed, turning his head away from her and started to slightly panic. 'Seriously!? Kaachan is going to kill me! Or worse-!'

He shivered when he felt a murderous feeling towards him. He didn't even have to turn back to know that it's his childhood friend who is glaring at him with daggers. Midoriya started to cry in the inside.

'Why meee...!'

Uraraka tilted her head to the side.

All Might continued on, not giving them a chance to say anything about their assigned partner. He dove his hands in the two boxes beside him while saying. "And the first team to fight will be..." He raised the balls in the air.

It showed A and B.

"...These guys!"

Uraraka gasped slightly. She was going to go up against her soulmate. But it's not only her that will be fighting. Her partner will finally be fighting against his childhood friend after many years of torment. She gritted her teeth, clenching her fist tightly beside her.

"Team A will be the heroes and Team D will be the villains. Everyone else, head towards the monitor."

Her classmates followed All Might's words and followed him. Except for Uraraka, Midoriya and Bakugou.

The honey brown eyed girl slid her orbs to see Midoriya giving a determined look to Bakugou who was surprised for a second before he sneered at him. She placed her hand on the green suited boy, startling him, and said. "Come on, Midoriya-kun. We better hurry and start our plan."

"H-Huh? Uh, yeah." The two teens started to walk.

Uraraka, still letting her hand on her partner's shoulder, turned her head over the shoulder to glance at the person behind her. She didn't even flinch when she saw that the crimson eyed boy was already staring at her.

His face was formed into a scowl. His eyebrows scrunched and his teeth clenching hardly. His sharp eyes became even more menacing when he narrowed them and his crimson turned even a darker shade. She didn't even have to look down to know that his palms were atarting to emit a small trail of smoke. The most obvious emotion was anger and more anger. However, there was also a slight sign of jealousy and confusion.

Why should he be jealous? It's not like he even wants me as a soulmate.

Uraraka's face was completely blank as she turned her head away from him, staring straight back ahead, not before releasing her hold on Midoriya.

Why couldn't my life be easy?

Uraraka sighed tiredly, not even noticing the worried look that her partner was giving her.

«»«»«»«»«»

Currently, Uraraka and Midoriya were now outside, waiting for the 'villains' to be ready.

She moved her orbs to her partner, seeing him clench his fist repeatedly. "Your Quirk gives you enchancment, doesn't it?" She asked, while she was adjusting to her ponytail. Her rods were slightly hitting against her hips.

That broke off Midoriya's thoughts and looked at her. "Huh? Oh, yes. S-Something like that."

She nodded her head and then knelled down, adjusting to her boots. She was tweaking some bolts while saying. "We must have a plan to get the bomb. Right now, the villains are probably in the room where the bomb is and are waiting for us," Glancing to see if Midoriya was listening, and he was. "- I will go up and fight against Iida while you will fight against Bakugou."

"Eh? Why-"

"I know that you have some unfinished business with him." Uraraka replied calmly and stood up, tapping her foot against the concrete floor, to see if the adjustment is better.

Placing her hands on her hips, she turned fully to Midoriya and looked him in the eye.

"I want you distract him while I go upstairs. While you are fighting with Bakugou, I will try to disarm Iida and touch the nuclear bomb. It might be a bit difficult but I believe we can do it."

Midoriya nodded his head determinedly. His thoughts were now all focused on the plan.

"How will you get up?" The curly green haired boy asked

"I will use my Quirk on myself to float. As I go inside, you will go inside as well and will tell me how it's going through our walkie talkie." Uraraka gestures towards her hand which was actually a small ear piece.

Midoriya nodded his head. "We also mustn't do any severe damages or the building will collapse." He added and Uraraka nodded her head in agreement.

She took a deep breath and looked at Midoriya with a small smile. "Ready?"

"Ready."

She placed her fingers on her chest and turned on her anti-gravity. Feeling the familiar feeling of lightness, her feet floated up. Glancing down at her green haired friend, she started to float up, heading towards the highest window. When she reached the highest, she looked through the window and saw that Iida was standing there. There was no sign of Bakugou.

"I was right." she muttered to herself and quietly opened the window, entering in with a small thump. Luckily, Iida didn't hear her as she did a summer sault and placed her back against one of the pillars, hiding her body from sight.

She has never been the type of person to think before fighting. Her fighting instincts comes natural while there are others who think before taking actions. Her natural instincts had increased when she was in her fighting classes as a child and over the years she has improved quite greatly.

Uraraka started to hear Iida talking behind her as she was inching her hands towards rods.

"I am...extremely evil!" Iida tried to sound as villainy as possible. He probably thinks he has done a good job of imitation.

A sweat drop appeared on her face. Uraraka bit her lip, trying not to let out a sound and took a deep breath. She already knows that Midoriya is already fighting with Bakugou, and now it's her turn.

She snapped her eyes open, her eye color has turned a shade darker and narrowed her eyes, now become sharp. She quickly raised her rods up and slammed them together, making a long staff appear, and stepped out of her pillar, running towards her opponent with her staff spining between her fingers.

Iida head snapped when he heard the sound of feet coming towards him. Fast.

He barely missed the swing of the metal rod and took a step back. Just as he was about to raise his hands, he felt the inpact of her foot meeting his shins. Pain enveloped his legs, and because of the heavy weight of Uraraka's boots, the pain was ten times.

Iida yelped and fell to the ground.

Uraraka raised her hand up, aiming a punch towards his head. However, before she could make impact, he kicked against her stomach, making her grunt in pain, but didn't falter. Iida took this chance to use his super speed and dashed towards the nuclear bomb, moving it away before Uraraka could touch it.

"It's no use Uraraka-kun! You can never get through me!" Iida started to evil laugh, not even noticing the smirk that was crawling up Uraraka's face. Below them, they can obviously hear the loud commotion of their partners.

"You sure about that?" She tilted her head, raised her hand up in the air, revealing that she was holding onto something.

Iida suddenly felt a tug. He looked down, only to see that there was capture tape wrapped around his ankle. His eyes widened in shock.

"How did you...!?" But he couldn't say anything as he was tugged again, but this time much harder and was flunged towards her.

"Sorry Iida but...!" Uraraka exclaimed and raised her clenched fist, elbow up. "This is going to hurt!"

She threw her punch forward and it landed on Iida's face. A small sound of crack was heard coming from his helmet and the sound of pain coming pass his lips. Iida, yet again, flung across the room and his back hit against the nuclear bomb. His body slumped against it.

Uraraka winced slightly at her strength but walked towards the nuclear bomb. Just as she was about to touch it with her palm, her ankle got clamped with a tight grip. Her sharp eyes looked down, to see that her classmate was holding onto her ankle.

A sigh passed her lips and smiled apologetically at him. "Gomen, Iida. But I won't allow you to win."

Finally deciding to see what her boots are made of, she raised her right leg in the air, and touched her hand on where the special button was and turned her Quirk on. A strange sound came, like tiny sound of static, and a robotic voice and suddenly spoke. Jū-pāsento on!"

She slammed her boot onto Iida's back, feeling the pressure upon his body. Iida yelped, feeling like there was a small boulder upon him and he couldnt get up. He struggled to get up but knew that he couldn't get out of this position. So, he sighed in defeat, dramatically lowered his head to the ground.

"You win, heroes!" Iida exclaimed.

Uraraka giggled at his act and placed her palm onto the bomb.

"The hero team...winnns!"

Uraraka touched the walkie talkie earbud which was in her right ear and spoke. "Midoriya-kun, we won. I touched the bomb." She smiled, thinking that her partner can hear her voice.

However, her reply was just the sound of statics and mumbled talking. Uraraka raised her brow at this.

"Midoriya-kun?-" But she got cut off by the sound of a explosion. The tremor was so bad that she fell to the ground, falling beside Iida and grunted from the hard floor. She winced and opened one eye and looked beside her to see that Iida was also confused on what is going on.

Both of them looked at each with confusion written adorned on their faces.

What's going on?
