New Challenger Approaches

It was a new day for U.A high. Hyde and Kaiden where walking to their class.

"Well that was a good day off." Kaiden stretched.

Hyde then put his arm around Kaiden and slumped his body. "No way! I want more time I wasn't lazy enough."

"Get off me." Kaiden said.

"No carry me to class slave. Carry me!" Hyde chuckled as he joked with his friend then stopped when he felt someone watching him. He let go and turned around only seeing a fluttering skirt.

"What's wrong?" Kaiden asked.

Hyde then gained a knowing smile. "Nothing..."

The two reached class 1-A where it was already in full swing with the class talking amongst their peers. It was all normal till a bandaged Aizawa came through the door addressing the class.

"All right everyone quiet down, we need to talk about the annual sports festival." He says looking at the students before one of his students interrupts him.

"Wait, wouldn't this be something villains would want to infiltrate and attack us." Shoji ask his teacher a little worry in his voice.

"Don't worry I heard the police presence will be five times bigger than usual, and since we are going ahead with the festival this means the school is much more confident it could benefit for all of you." Aizawa states expressionless as usual

Mineta gets nervous. "If villains do break into the festival, we can halt it right."

"It's gonna be a massive stadium filled with dozens of pro heroes not to mention heroes in training that wouldn't mind fighting I think we'll be fine." Kaiden says leaning back in his chair.

Aizawa continues his explanation. "The sports festival is one of Japans biggest events, it's even replaced the Olympics."

He then looks at Kaiden and Hyde. "I know back in America they don't really do this sort of thing, so if you two need a more information I'll explain after class."

"A tournament showing a student's abilities and how capable they are fighting against others". Kaiden grins and chuckles "This sounds like fun."

"Don't even try and act cocky, both you Gaijins will be the first taken out, you won't even make it to the semifinals." Bakugo sneers not even looking at them.

"Thirty thousand yen says these two Gaijins make it to the finals and kick your ass to kingdom come ash boy, what do you say Kai-Kai you wanna do it or me." Hyde smiles elbowing his close friend.

"One, I told you not to call me that, second make it fifty and he loses to a nerd like me." Kaiden smiles small before Bakugo slams his hand on the desk and stands up.

"I'll take both of you losers on right now and I won't even break a sweat, you'll be the first one to go because you rely on stupid and cheap fighting moves!" Bakugo yells while making sure that insult hits Kaiden.

"I'm sorry what was that." Kaiden says growling and getting up actually scaring some of the students present he starts getting close before Hyde grabs him.

"Sit down and be quiet or you'll both sit on the sidelines and not participate at all, we don't have time for pathetic little grudges save your energy for the festival." Aizawa says getting ready to trap the boys. "If you keep attitudes like that the pro heroes who will be scouting you won't be interested." Aizawa states warning them.

Kaminari looks at Jiro. "I've been thinking about taking the sidekick tactic for pro hero squads after graduation. what do you think about that?" He says confidently to the rocker girl.

"But you need to think bigger there are loads of heroes who get stuck as sidekicks forever and miss their chance to have big career going solo, then again I wouldn't be surprised if your dumbass did it." Jiro says with no remorse as Kaminari looks at her shocked and offended.

"If you get noticed by a pro hero, you'll have a brighter future of becoming one yourselves, in other words this is an event you can't overlook take it." Aizawa states to the class each either nodding or smiling with determination.

As fourth period ends the students talk with each other about the festival everyone seems to be really pumped about it.

"The tension is souring sky high, if we all stand out during this event it'll be a giant leap forward!" Kirishima yells excitedly

Kaiden smiles at Hyde. "We need to start training as soon as we can I can't wait for this!" He says with an uncharacteristic chuckle

Hyde looks at him and starts playing with his hair. "Yeah training sure. But first I gotta make a hair appointment, manicure, and a tooth whitening."

"Oh, for god's sake, think about it we are going into a sports festival that's gonna hold all the top hero schools in this country, and we are the first American students to enter it and we get see many other students with interesting quirks not to mention pro heroes watching us how can you not take this seriously!" Kaiden says to Hyde gripping his shoulders

"Ok, ok I get it don't get a nerd boner just yet." Hyde laughs as Midoriya walks up to them

"I take it you two are also excited are you guys even nervous at all." Midoriya ask the two boys.

"Not really no." Kaiden says rubbing the back of his head before he can continue speaking someone catches their attention.

"Deku, Hyde, Kaiden, Ilda..."

All four students look over to see Uraraka with a heavily determined face her brows pointing downward as she speaks again.

"Let's crush the sports festival!" She says with the upmost seriousness and determination.

"What the fuck is up with your face?" Hyde ask a little scared.

Uraraka gets up and starts pumping her fist. "I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna win!"

Few minutes later the five teens are walking down the steps all thinking about the upcoming event before Midoriya ask's a question that makes them stop in their tracks.

"I forgot to ask you guys why do you want to become heroes." He asks looking at them all

Uraraka rubs the back of her head before looking away "Well... I'm kind of in it for the money."

All four boys look at her dumbfounded before she continues

"Sorry, I know it's sounds lame like I'm not trying to be a pure hero, I mean Ilda especially is doing it for principles and I know Kaiden and Hyde are doing it for selfless reasons too...but it's for my family." Uraraka sates quietly as she shrinks a bit.

"Hey, hey its fine it doesn't make you seem selfish we all have our reason for why we want to become heroes and besides you said it was for your family we all understand it." Kaiden gives a thumbs up to Uraraka smiling.

"It's just my family has a construction company and there's not much work around really that's why I want to be a hero." Uraraka says softly before looking at everyone. "I'm going to be a hero and earn money so I can give my family the easy life they deserve".

Ilda begins to clap and cheer on for the gravity girl, while Deku is stunned at the girl's speech and her true motive, while Kaiden and Hyde smile understanding her situation.

"Enough about me what about you guys, why are your motives I mean you could've stayed in America why come here?" Uraraka says looking at Kaiden and Hyde

"America didn't have many opportunities in all honesty it was our master who suggested we come here, but I want to be a hero who can entertain and bring smiles to those I save no matter the situation or the disaster." Hyde says smiling while putting his fist up.

"Like Hyde said there wasn't much back the U.S, my reasons for being a hero is to prove to the world that I capable of doing it and that I can control my quirk, I want them to see a hero who cares about protecting people and not some freak." Kaiden says crossing his arms with a little seriousness in his voice.

"Well I say you guys made the right choice, wouldn't you agree?" Uraraka says looking at the two boys then Ilda and Midoriya.

Midoriya and Ilda nod, Ilda then looks at the boys curiously

"You both mention this master of yours I assumed he trained you to fight and be strong with your quirks, who is he exactly?" Ilda ask trying to figure out who it could be.

Hyde rubs the back of his head "Well he often visits Japan when he has free time, your telling me you haven't heard rumors of an American hero visiting Japan every once and awhile?"

All three think for a few minutes before shaking their heads.

Kaiden sighs. "Guess he doesn't like the attention typical of him, he's more of underground hero like Aizawa his name is..."

Before he can tell them, a door slams open scaring the five students with the Symbol of Peace looking for a certain student.

"Midoriya, my boy!" All Might yells in his usual tone. "Wanna eat lunch with me?" He says holding up a bento box.

"He sounds like a teenage girl!" Uraraka says laughing trying to hold her mouth.

"Uh, sure I'll see you guys later."Deku says walking with his idol.

"What are we chopped liver?" Hyde asked rhetorically.

"I mean when the number one hero asked to eat with you, you don't say no." Uraraka responded.

"True, I wonder what their relationship is?" Kaiden wondered.

"Oh god you don't think they have the forbidden teacher-student relationship, do you?" Hyde said with a grin causing Uraraka to blush profusely.

"Raider-kun, that is very inappropriate! All might-sensei and Midoriya don't do such illicit thing, especially in school!" Iida chastised doing his usual chopping motion.

"Maybe after school." Hyde pointed out.

"No!" Iida rejected.

"Hyde." Kaiden called out for him to stop.

"What? there's nothing wrong with it." Hyde defended until he heard a girl yelp behind him.

"Ahh!" Yelled out a brown haired with two large breads and glasses she looked like a beautiful maiden with great features. When she was seen by the group, she made eye contact with Hyde then turned around and ran toward the opposite direction with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Who was that?" Uraraka asked.

Kaiden shook his head. "No idea. Why was she watching us and why did she run?" Kaiden drew a blank on this question but Hyde soon chuckled to himself. "Hyde, you know her?

Hyde put his finger and his thumb on his chin and gave a confident smirk. "Somewhat but it's not hard to see what happening here."

After school it was time to head home until...

"What!" Screamed Mineta, Kaminari, and sero.

"Quit lying!" Mineta yelled crying blood.

"There is no way some cute girl has a crush on you." Kaminari added.

Hyde was sitting in his chair with his legs crossed and head rested on his hand look mighty triumphant. "Believe it boys. She has been eyeing me all day."

"How do know she likes you?" Sero asked.

"Our eyes met. Her face became red and that's all there is to it." Hyde explained. "Listen guys don't me mad, there are some guys who have "It" and some people (Mineta) just don't." Hyde stuck his nose up over his angry classmates.

"Yeah right!" Mineta rejected.

"She's playing a trick!" Kaminari yelled.

Kaiden stood by with Midoriya watching this spectacle with his backpack on hand. "Mind if I walk with you guys? I don't wanna deal with this all the way to the station." Kaiden asked as Midoriya nodded.

"What the heck!" Uraraka shouted as the boys looked to see why, they saw a multitude of students standing in front of the door outside.

Mineta looks at the group shocked. "Why are they crowding the exit?"

"They're scoping out the competition." Hyde and Bakugo says simultaneously before looking at each other weirded out.

"You owe me a coke bomb boy!" Hyde snickers.

Kaiden looks at the students and understands the situation instantly "They want to see the group who survived the villain ambush, they're studying us before the battle even starts." he sighs and looks at the group. "Fucking move, we don't have time for your pointless intimidation tactic, Hyde come on."

Kaiden begins walking to the front door before a voice stops him.

"I came to see what Class 1-A was made of I didn't think you all would be so arrogant, is this how all the students are?" The person soon comes out revealing a tall boy with messy indigo hair.

"You know a lot of kids ended up in the General Education Department and other departments because they failed the hero course." He says with a cold stare

"Well sorry buddy but that sounds like their fault not ours." Kaiden says staring at him

He looks at Kaiden, then to the rest of the class before continuing.

"Not to mention based on the results for the sports festival some students if they do well enough can be transferred to the heroics department, scoping out the competition how about I pull the rug out from under the heroic kids while they are on their high horses, consider this a declaration of war." He says with a serious tone while staring at the class

Hyde chuckles a bit and begins to speak his mind "Declaration of war? High horses? Sorry eggplant but you couldn't be more wrong, Bakugo may be cocky." He says pointing his thumb at him "But the rest of us are serious about this, do you honestly think we planned that villain infiltration we were scared shitless some of us almost died." He says staring daggers at the boy

All was still in quiet then a loud voice breaks it a boy with sharp teeth and long gray hair.

"Hey! I'm from class B! I heard you knocked around with villains so I came to here to see if it was true. All I have to say is don't embarrass us during the main even you hear me." The kid yelled at the class.

"Who the hell is that?" Shoji asked.

"I dunno." Kirishima responds.

"Don't ignore me!" The white-haired kid yelled.

This time it was Kaiden's turn to speak up "I'm only gonna say this once" As he said this he gets the attention of everyone "You all ended up in a different department because you failed this course, that's your fault maybe this proves that we took it way more seriously than you so, with that being said take that declaration you were talking about and shove it up your ass." Kaiden says coldly with the class being shocked and Hyde staying silent.

"Hyde, let's go, we got training to do." He says as he starts walking out the class leaving everyone quiet.

"Sure, oh and eggplant one more thing..." Hyde walked up to the purple haired student. Hyde then threw a straight punch at the boy. The tired eyed boy couldn't react in time as the strike was going to hit but stopped short of landing it. The boy was had taken a step back in surprise. "That's how you declare war." Hyde pats his shoulder and walks with Kaiden.

"Too far?" Hyde asked his friend.

"Made them spread out didn't it." Kaiden said. "Although now we got a target on our backs like Bakugo. So, we should start our training with..." Kaiden went on but Hyde wasn't listening as he saw Present Mic and got a grin on his face.

"Yeah, juice got." Hyde ignored the green tipped boy and walked to the teacher. "Go on I got something to take care of." Kaiden shrugged and walked toward the exit.

The next few days pass both boys giving it their all with training. Today was a particular day for the two as they say on the couch waiting for two classmates to show up.

"Boy's you are training today right, I don't need to you skipping out on this already last thing I need is you two getting flabby." Riko says flatly looking at the two

"Yeah we're just waiting for our two friends to show up, they were interested in what master taught us they want to try out his fighting style." Kaiden says reading a manga.

Riko looks at them curious. "Oh really, who are they and why are they stupid enough to go through what you two did?"

"Deku and Ojiro, two of our classmates who actually rely on fighting for their quirk, Ojiro has a tail he uses as a main weapon but if he keeps being obvious with it, it won't get him that far, as for Deku his quirk breaks his body whenever he uses it so it wouldn't hurt to teach him a few things." Hyde says playing his switch.

"They should be here in a few minutes hopefully they don't collapse in the middle of training." Kaiden says not looking up from his book.

Riko sighs with a smile on her faces and nods. "Don't go overboard with them ok?" Kaiden waves his hand.

"Yeah, yeah no promises." He says focused on the book he soon here's his aunts stern voice

"Kaiden Gen! I'm serious if you boys go overboard and they get hurt you both will feel my wrath and I promise not even All Might will be able to save you." She says with her hands on her hips glaring at him.

Kaiden looks up at her and pales "Ok, ok!, We promise we won't overdo it we'll just teach them the basics even though that's hellish torture too." He says muttering the last part.

"What was that?" Riko says with a raised eyebrow with a cold stare that could send a chill down any villain's spine.

'N-nothing we will go easy on them nothing extreme I swear!" He says nervously as there a knock on the door.

Kaiden gets up to answer the door and see's their two classmates waiting.

"Hey, you guys ready for some training?" He says with a smile on his face

"Yeah can't wait to see what you'll both teach us." Midoriya says excitedly.

Ojiro nods. "I finally get to learn that fighting style you guys use, hopefully it will help with the tournament."

Kaiden smiles. "It will help improve your endurance and strength, we're actually going somewhere else to train, it's a big open field so don't worry about others interrupting us."

They both nod eager to get started Kaiden turns to Hyde who is still playing his switch he sighs a little before calling to him.

"You can finish Smash Ultimate later now come on." Kaiden says waiting impatiently for his friend.

"Yeah, Yeah just a minute I'm maining Incineroar." He says not looking up from his match to focused on winning.

Kaiden looks at Deku and Ojrio and mouths "Watch this." He soon calls out loudly

"Aunt Riko! Hyde is trying to skip training!" He says with a smug smile on his face as Hyde's face goes to something of pure terror

"Like hell he is!" They all soon hear marching as Riko comes in fuming.

"Well, would you look at the time, we better get going if we want to teach our pupils something, bye Riko!" Hyde says bolting out the door running for his life.

Kaiden laughs at Hyde's reaction "Priceless, it's funnier every time." He smiles and starts leading his two classmates to the open field. To warm up they all decided it was best to jog there.

"You suck you know that." Hyde grumbled while carry large bag.

"Suck it up. we got training to do." Kaiden said.

Ojiro finally spoke up. "So, when you initially brought your fighting style up you said their where four parts? Like fall is relax or something."

"Oh, that well Hyde do you wanna explain it or should I?" Kaiden asked his friend but was too busy calling someone on his phone.

"I don't know give him the song "I need five" he's a big guy." Hyde said talking to his contact on the phone.

"Yeah, he's useless so let me explain." Kaiden sighed turning to his classmates. "The Fist of Four Seasons follow four main principals. Summer, a hot and fierce attack. Fall, a relaxing flow, winter, a sturdy ice, and spring, a refreshing crash." Kaiden explained.

Midoriya stopped taking notes and put his pencil to his cheek. "Wait how Is a crash refreshing?"

"Well you see..." Kaiden was about to respond.

"And what do you mean sturdy ice?" Ojiro inquired also.

"I mean...well..." Kaiden struggled to come up with. "Listen I didn't come up with this stuff!" Kaiden retorts. "To put it simply Summer is striking, Fall is evasion and redirection, winter is defense and submission, and Spring is throws." Kaiden explained.

"I see." Midoriya says trying to digest this new information.

"So, why Is this martial art not public?" Ojiro asks.

"Master says it's due to it only being taught to one student only. The only reason both me and Hyde can do it is due to him getting drunk and teaching us then realizing it was too late." Kaiden remembered his teacher guzzling beer and teaching them the basics.

"Hey do you think you can show us how the style works in a motion?" Midoriya asked.

"Sure can. Hyde come on let's spar." Kaiden turned to his friend again who is still talking on the phone.

"Hahaha. Yeah, yeah, he can totally get that one. Oh man I can't wait." Hyde chuckled.

"Hyde!" Kaiden shouts to get his attention.

"What!" Hyde snapped.

"Come on, we're gonna spar." Kaiden says.

"Ugg fine." Hyde goes back on his phone. "I'll call you back later." Hyde hung up the phone.

"Alright let's go." Hyde said getting into his fighting stance. This stance has him put his right hand closest to him while having his left forearm raised in front. His legs were also in a strong form as his right leg is slightly behind him. With his left planted firmly.

"Ok man, you going to tell me who your talking to? you've been calling and getting called since the sports fest was announced?" Kaiden asked while getting in his stance from before.

"In due time, Kai-kai." Hyde said in a Zen like tone.

"And now I'm glad I get to punch you." Kaiden said before he and Hyde both go quiet.

Midoriya and Ojiro stand and watch as both Hyde and Kaiden close their eyes and breathe slowly, they both exhales.

Ojiro leans over to Midoriya and whispers "Forgot to mention while you and Uraraka were battling against Hyde and Bakugo, Kaiden mentioned that him and Hyde have sparred over 463 times and during their sparring matches they would never hold back not even a little they would go all out". Midoriya eyes widen as he begins muttering to himself and taking notes.

Both students ignore him and continue to breathe slowly, No one notices a lone crow sitting on a branch near them it caws and both students open their eyes quickly before sprinting at each other.

Midoriya and Ojiro watch in amazement as what follows next is various and fluent strikes and blocks and dodges. As they watch the match Midoriya can see the look in both Hyde and Kaiden's eyes, sure both have said they are close friends but right now they see each other as rivals maybe even enemies.

As the fight continued Midoriya and Ojiro winced as they can see blows landing and causes some damage bruises starting to from and some blood being spilled even. Kaiden goes for a punch only for Hyde to duck and sweep his leg. As Kaiden falls he quickly stands on one hand and tries to deliver a kick to Hyde's stomach but Hyde put both arms up and widens his legs to take the hit. "Winter form: iceberg" Hyde thought.

As he does this Kaiden's eyes widen "Shit, gotta move quick or he's gonna try to grapple me!" Kaiden thought as he put his other hand on the ground for some slight balance and swung his legs away from Hyde then he planted his legs on the ground and jumped backwards. Hyde however did not give up his pursuit as he plants his foot down and throws not only his fist but his elbow at his opponent.

"Summer form: Scorch!" Hyde internally shouted.

Kaiden saw it coming and placed a palm on Hyde's fist and redirected the attack downward. "Fall form: Brown leaf!" Taking advantage of the moment he grabbed Hyde wrist and proceeded to flip his Spiked haired rival. "Spring form: Warm."

Hyde however saw this coming a lifted his legs and slammed them on the ground leaving his in a leaned position. Hyde proceeded to throw a punch even this position, hitting Kaiden in the face causing him to let go. Hyde repositioned himself and dashed at a Kaiden, but was met by two left jabs to the head. With his opponent dazed Kaiden launched a kick to the neck. Unfortunately, Hyde grabbed Kaiden's leg and jumped into wrapping his legs around Kaiden's leg while also twisting his ankle. This move left both fighters on the ground with Hyde pulling a submission.

"That's 264 to 200, Kai-kai." Hyde chuckled tightening his hold.

"Damn it, thought I had it and stop calling me that" Kaiden sighs he soon looks at Deku and Ojiro. "So, what do you guys think?"

Both students stare at their friends in amazement and disbelief.

"I... wow guys the strength and stances." Ojiro says softly trying to replay what he saw.

Midoriya finishes his notes then looks at them. "Kaiden your balance and agility during the match was incredible and Hyde your strength was far more powerful then I imagined, not to mention the quick thinking you had when Kaiden went for the kick, I wouldn't be surprised if you two won the festival." Midoriya states amazed while going over his notes again.

Hyde lets go of Kaiden "You don't need to take notes you know." Kaiden says going his green haired friend and taking the notebook and looking at it. "Well at least you written down what each season means."

Kaiden goes back to Hyde. "What do you think we should teach them first?" He says curiously looking at him.

"Well we should split up you can teach Ojiro and I'll give Deku the Basics." Hyde said with his evil grin.

"Sure..." Kaiden gave Hyde a weary look. So, the two took their partners and began showing then the ropes. Kaiden was with Ojiro practicing the Spring form.

"That's right, grab the wrist and twist it. You know you told us you also did martial arts maybe we can train at your dojo sometime." Kaiden said.

"Yeah sure, plus to be a hero you're gonna need more in your arsenal." Ojiro explain.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" They turned their head to see where that scream came from and it was from Midoriya. The green haired lad was leaning back over a spike that was inches away from touching his spine. Above him was Hyde holding a punching mitt.

"Come for Summer form you gotta punch in any direction at full power!" Hyde yelled like a drill sergeant.

"Hyde, I thought we said the basics?" Kaiden asked his friend.

"This is basics, remember." Hyde responded.

Kaiden stood there and thought for a moment until something came to him. "Yeah, you're right continue."

"EI!" Both Midoriya and Ojiro reacted.

A few hours go by and everyone is resting after an intense work out. Hyde ran off to get drinks, so that leaves Kaiden, Ojiro, and Midoriya.

"So how do you guys feel?" Kaiden ask with a small smile

Midoriya breathes heavily. "Exhausted and worn out."

"I feel like my body is melting, like everything's on fire." Ojiro says wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Hey we only taught you Summer and Spring, you don't want to go through Winter he would take us to the coldest point and have us in nothing but basketball shorts and have us defended ourselves against wild animals to mention for Fall he would chuck knives at us for dodging." Kaiden states remember how much hell it was.

"I say we're good with just the two." Deku stutters nervously

Ojiro looks at Kaiden with a deadpanned look "Who the hell is your teacher, and why isn't he in prison?"

Kaiden chuckles and then he goes to full on laughter "If he was in prison, he wouldn't be locked up with inmates the inmates would be locked up with him!"

Hyde comes back sporting four energy drinks and tosses them at his buddies. "Besides, our parents signed waiver forms so we could do jack anyway."

Kaiden takes a sip then looks at Deku and Ojiro "Rest up for now because in 30 minutes we are gonna work on our quirks, Deku I suggest you work with Hyde on yours, both of your quirks are a little similar and maybe Hyde can help with you controlling yours."

Hyde nods and smiles. "Sounds good to me, last thing we need is you broken during the tournament."

"As for you Ojiro we will train together I got a plan that will help both of us." Kaiden says seriously.

All four boys nod and soon start their training with Hyde testing Midoriya's quirk and seeing what affect it has while Kaiden tries to strengthen his quirk and test Ojiro's reflexes.

"Ok so the plan here is I'm gonna try and control my quirk by sneaking on you and attacking you quietly and stealthy, you will try to defend yourself and be aware of your surroundings, this will benefit both of us." Kaiden says looking at his blonde friend.

"For you this will help with your reaction time and how quick you can attack with your martial arts and tail and possibly make your tail even faster, for me it would be controlling my quirk and coming up with new attacks for my darkness sound like a plan?" Kaiden ask curiously hoping that this training exercise would work.

Ojiro thinks a bit looking at the sky "I suppose so but will it really wo..." as he looks back Kaiden is gone nowhere to be seen "I guess we're staring now." Ojiro says loudly getting in fighting stance and looking around.

Meanwhile with Hyde and Midoriya a few yards away. Midoriya is explaining how he manages to control is quirk with Hyde having a confused look on his face.

"An egg exploding in a microwave? Did you have the munchies while this was happening?" Hyde says curiously and still confused.

"No but whenever I think of it a small portion of my body has suffered damaged instead of large part like during the Entrance Exam before I could try and control it one of my arms and my leg got twisted and broken, now whenever I picture the egg is been my fingers so it's starting to improve really." Midoriya says explaining the damaged he goes through when using his quirk.

"Dude have you ever actually put an egg in a microwave? The egg will break and then you'll have big ass mess, which in your case is not far from what happens. Here's what I do, I focus all that energy into my muscles that way it evens out with the rest of my body." He says to Midoriya as he takes a few steps back.

"Let's try that, here this is a perfect spot." Hyde said walking Midoriya to a tree. "Try controlling your quirk on this Hyde says patting the tree and smiling.

Midoriya nods and gets in a stance he breathes and begins to throw a punch and just before it hits Hyde grabs his arm suddenly.

"Why did you stop me I was about to hit it?" Midoriya looks at Hyde and actually sees seriousness on his face.

Hyde sighs before letting go of his arm "Oh Great Deku tree, you weren't listening to me were you still imagining the egg in the microwave?"

Deku shakes his head "No I did what you said and try and let the energy flow through my muscles it would've made a dent in the tree."

"You would've broken your hand again, yes you let the energy flow through your muscles but you're still putting it all into a specific area, you tried pitting it to all the muscles in your hand, Deku when I said spread it to your muscles, I meant through all the muscles in your entire body that's what I mean when I said even it out now try again." Hyde says forcefully as he got out of the way.

Deku breathes slowly and tries to focus as green electricity soon surrounds him "Not just one point but to my entire body!" He soon throws a punch that connects with three as a huge gust of wind flies by them when Midoriya winces in pain and removes his hand to see a good size dent impacted in the tree.

Hyde soon grabs his hand and brings it up so both of them can see it. "Nothing broken or deformed only bruising it looks like moss head is improving, holy shit that rhymed!" Hyde says as his eyes widen noticing his rhyming skills. "Ok let's keep going" Hyde says confidently as Midoriya nods and smiles.

Meanwhile a few yards away Ojiro is focusing and listening for anything unusual. He hears the leaves in the tree rustle he turns swings his tail as Kaiden is able to block it. Kaiden smiles as darkness pins him to the ground and Kaiden kicks him across the field.

Kaiden walks up to Ojiro shaking his hand in pain. "That tail feels like brick wall damn, but you're getting faster." He then wincing as he grabs a part of his head.

"Hey, you ok?" Ojiro asked in a concern tone.

Kaiden soon let's go of his head and nods lying "Yeah, just a little headache didn't get enough sleep last night I guess." He chuckles and helps Ojiro up.

"I say that's enough for today, last thing I need is you and Deku collapsing." Kaiden says as they both look and see the sun setting. "Come on let's go and make sure Hyde didn't kill Deku." Kaiden smiles and walks over to them.

"Hey we're wrapping up for the day how is everything?" Kaiden ask the two he then sees the tree. "Who did that?"

Hyde ruffles Deku's hair "He did without breaking anything only slight bruising like a banana."

Kaiden's eyes widen "W-wait seriously you didn't break anything!" Midoriya then shows his hand nothing looked bent or out of place only slightly purple.

"Holy shit this is great, now your quirk won't be much of a glass cannon anymore!" Kaiden says with a big smile on his face.

"Thank Hyde he gave me great advice on self-control." Deku says smiling at the spiky haired teen.

Kaiden looks at Hyde surprised and smiles "Wow, you actually taught him I'm proud of you." As Kaiden says this Hyde heels over and covers his mouth.

"Oh god, don't say that! It makes me want to puke!" Hyde says his eyes wide with terror

A tick forms on Kayden's temple "Fine then be an asshole then!" Midoriya and Ojiro chuckle a bit.

"We should get going glad you guys liked the training we gave you today, we can't wait to see how strong you guys are when the festival starts." Kaiden says with a smug grin.

"Hyde looks at Midoriya. "Use what I taught you during the festival or else its back to the basics got it?" Hyde says with an evil smirk as Midoriya shivers a bit.

With that the two groups go their separate ways taking their training to heart and waiting for the day to come. Days pass and the day of the festival is finally the area is filled with massive crowds, news feeds and food stands everyone waiting for the annual event to start. In the locker room class 1- A is getting prepared to show what their made of.

"Is everyone prepared we are set to enter soon?!" Ilda yells trying to get everyone's attention

Shoji sighs in disappointment. "I was really hoping to wear my costume for this."

"It's disallowed so they can even the playing field, it would be confusing if everyone was wearing their costumes." Ojiro states explaining it to Shoji.

Todoroki calmly walks to Midoriya. "Midoriya I need to talk to you." He states in his usual stoic voice.

Midoriya perks up and looks at him a little nervously. "What is it Todoroki?"

He looks at Midoriya and with the most seriousness in his voice he states his goal "I'm going to beat you."

This gets everyone's attention. Kaminari is the first to address this.

"Another declaration of war from the strongest kid in the class huh?" Kaminari states looking at both of them.

"What I didn't say anything." Hyde said earning him an elbow from Kaiden.

"Hey, hey what's with this all of a sudden don't just jump on him before..." Kirshima tries to get Todoroki to stop before he can continue.

"I'm not here to make friends but whatever it's a tournament showing all Pro heroes who's the best." Todoroki again states calmly.

Kaiden sighs before standing up "You just had to be me to it didn't you?" he rubs the back of his head "He has a point you know and I have my own goals for this specifically with you two."

Kaiden looks at Hyde and Bakugo before stating his mission "For you I finally get to take you down a peg, I've been wanting to kick your ass for a while now ever since the battle trials and now it's finally happening." He says glaring at Bakugo he then looks at Hyde "As for you, you know damn well master's watching this, so we might as well put on a show for him to see which one of his students is stronger."

Hyde grins. "Don't cry when it's 265 to 200 Kaiden, and we both know we won't hold back even when blood is being spilled once we get out there, you're my rival nothing more." Hyde states as both him and Kaiden have a massive grin on both their faces. "Plus It's time to show that entertainment and victory go hand in hand."

Midoriya felt a bit overwhelmed with all the pressure suddenly thrust upon him but he soon finds his pride and speaks. "I know that you're all stronger than me. It's safe to say you're favorited to win. But everyones been working hard even the students in general education so I won't lag behind either." Midoriya looks at his classmates with determination. "I'll be going all out and give it all my might too."

They all soon walk out to the arena massive crowds cheering for the freshman students, pro heroes observing them in the stands the festival is now under way.

All right the stage is set and now for some fun. Not much more to say this chapter but again feel free to review to help improve the story or message me your thought.
