Chapter 8
Hey guys back with another chapter! Chapters 1 2 and 3 are updated! 4 is in the works! I don't think 5 and up needs updating, but if you think so, let me know. Also, that filler thing I started last chapter. I'm not doing it here. You'll have to check my account to see what happens. Don't worry, it's all comedy, so if you don't read, you won't miss anything, but I encourage you to read it! Anyway, onto the chapter, shall we?
After the break was up, it was back to normal classes for class 1-A. That morning, Midoriya walked down the halls to class with Ashido. Normally he walked by himself to class, but he had found Ashido sleeping on the train a few seats next to him, and he ended up carrying her all to school, as she refused to wake up, and Midoriya couldn't bring himself to leave her there. She ended up waking up when they arrived at school, and they both walked the rest of the way.
"I'm gonna find a way to repay you, just you wait Midoriya!"
Midoriya waved his hands in front of his face, almost physically trying to reject the offer. "R-really Ashido! You don't have to do anything!"
"Nope! I already decided. I'm gonna take you to this place that has the best smoothies in exsistence!"
"O-oh. I guess I can't refuse now…"
Ashido pouted. "Well don't sound so excited now. If I didn't know any better, I'd say you don't like me!"
"W-w-wait! No it's not that! It's just…"
Ashido's face lit up with a devious grin. "Aha! You must have a girlfriend! Who is it!? I bet it's Uraraka!"
Despite who Ashido had said, Midoriya couldn't help the fact that Hatsume flashed in his mind, causing him to blush.
Unfortunately, Ashido misinterpreted the blush and let out a high pitched squeal. "AH! It is! Is it official? Or do you just like her? Does she know? OH! I'll ask her!"
Ashido bolted towards the class, much to Midoriya's dismay.
"Wait! Ashido, no!"
Midoriya formed a portal on the floor in front of her, and then above him, causing her to fall in his arms.
Midoriya let her down. "A-alright. Y-you may be right, I do like someone, but it's not Uraraka!"
"Oh? Well then who is it? Spill it!"
"We're going to be late. I'll tell you after school, but I'm still not sure about it. It may be nothing."
"Oh, I can't wait for all the juicy details!" Ashido skipped the rest of the way to class.
'Why do I feel like I'm going to regret this…?'
The class began as many others had, Midoriya sat in his seat, right next to Sero. Midoriya didn't speak much with him, but was always friendly, as was his nature. Then, Kirishima turned to Sero and Midoriya.
"Hey, do you know who's going to be the sub for today? You know Mr. Aizawa can't come in today, cause of his injuries and all."
Midoriya put a hand to his chin in curiosity, while Sero just shrugged. Then, then giant sliding door opened, and revealed… a mummy?
"Morning class." the mummy spoke, shocking everyone.
'Is that Mr. Aizawa?!'
True to what they said, it was Aizawa underneath all of the bandages. It seemed that not even crippling injury would be able to stop him.
"Alright class, settle down. Even though the incident at the USJ is over, your fight isn't over yet."
'What could he possibly mean? Villains?'
Aizawa seemingly responded to the class' thoughts. "What I mean to say, is that you must get ready for the upcoming sports festival."
Everyone in the room let out a sigh, not even realizing they had been holding their breath the entire time.
"Don't you think it's unwise to hold the festival so soon after a villan attack?"
"Good point. One that I brought up to the board. They said that this was a good opportunity to show the world that we weren't shaken by the attack. Don't worry, security will be doubled this time around, but even I'm still not sure…"
'How is that supposed to help us not worry?'
"Anyway, this will be the best opportunity to show off your skills. Not only will the pros be watching, but the whole world."
Midoriya overheard Jiro making fun of Kaminari, but he wasn't focused on that. This would be his chance, as the successor to the symbol of peace, he had to make his mark. That meant learning how to use his quirk properly.
Aizawa interrupted their talking. "This happens once a year. You've got three chances. So if you want to be a hero, make it count."
Cementoss walked in, thereby ending class 1-A's first period.
The day went by rather uneventfully, and Midoriya hated to admit it, but it was terribly boring. Especially compared to fighting. He didn't have to wait long though, because after lunch was basic hero training. Today was one on one fighting, and Midoriya was assigned to Kaminari. Midoriya got his hero costume, thinking about how he could win this. It was the worst possible matchup for him. Midoriya couldn't counter electricity.
He walked out to see Kaminari waiting in the ring. He grinned at Midoriya.
"Hope you don't think you can beat me. You'll be… shocked."
Midoriya sighed. "All Might, can we just fight?"
"For the love of… YES."
Midoriya charged at Kaminari, while Kaminari literally charged. Midoriya didn't let him though, and he put a portal underneath is feet and directly above him, causing him to fall in a loop.
'Alright. Five percent…'
Midoriya put a portal on the wall behind where Kaminari was standing, sending him flying towards Midoriya, then getting punched right back onto the ground with a super-charged punch.
It took Kaminari a while to get up, but when he did, he kept his head down.
"Damn… you know, I wish I could charge my power into one limb, but it always spreads… I could do electric punches. But maybe I could learn through training."
Midoriya froze at his words. He could feel the cusp of an idea in his brain, he just needed a push.
"Wait… what did you say you did with your power?"
"Umm… It spreads throughout my body."
Midoriya thought about how he usually called his quirk into one limb at a time. Then it dawned on him that even All Might channeled his power throughout his entire body. And to think that it was Kaminari that sparked this train of thought!
'I've been thinking about my quirk all wrong! Instead of calling upon it like a special power in one arm, I just need to have it flowing through me continuously!'
Midoriya began to spark with electricity, but instead of yellow, it was a light green.
"Woah, are stealing my style or something?"
"No… but I do have you to thank for this. A new way to use my power!"
Midoriya took a step forward... and went barreling into the wall. luckily, he used a portal to minimize the impact, but it did force his quirk to turn off. He ran back over to Kaminari, who was watching the whole ordeal in complete confusion. He bowed his head to Kaminari in thanks.
"Thank you… you've been a really big help!"
"Happy to help dude!"
All Might looked on with pride, happy to see that his student could finally managed to control his power, even if it was only five percent.
The rest of the class looked on in shock, at first at Midoriya's swift victory, but then the green electricity surrounding him. They were too far back to hear their conversation, so they wouldn't get hurt by anyone's quirk.
Kirishima was the first one to speak. "Woah… that was so manly!"
Tokoyami also chimed in. "That was most impressive."
(A/N) I want to know if you guys want me to cover everyone else's one on ones, but if not, next chapter will be the start of the sports festival.
The class passed by and after it was the end of the day. Midoriya was preparing to go home when he was stopped by one of his classmates. In particular, it was one with a pink complexion.
"Hey Midoriya!"
"O-oh, hey Ashido!"
Ashido grinned an evil grin. "You didn't forget your promise, did you?"
"W-what promise?"
"Don't you act dumb! You know exactly what I'm talking about!"
"Aw, man…"
"Now tell me, who is it? Is it Yaoyorozu? Nah, that doesn't seem right. Tsuyu?"
"A-Ashido! Keep it down! It's not even anyone in this class."
"Oh? Well, then lead me to this mystery person!"
Midoriya let out a heavy sigh. "Fine… let's go."
Just as they turned to leave, Kirishima and Uraraka walked to intercept them.
Uraraka smiled at the two of them. "Hey! Are you guys heading home?"
"Umm… not yet, but-"
"We'll join you!"
Kirishima grinned at the two of them. "Just go with it. It'll be fun to hang out a bit after school anyway."
'Oh no…' Midoriya hung his head in despair.
All the while, Ashido was grinning like a madman.
The group walked out of the class and down the hall, towards the support course wing. Midoriya was sweating the whole way there. He had only agreed to this because he didn't want to raise suspicions. And there was Ashido, who he knew would spill everything if he tried to hide anything.
"H-Here we are… I'd stand back if I were you."
Kirishima took a step in front of door. "What do you mean? It's not like it's going to explode or any-"
The door was slammed in Kirishima's direction, almost comically, but not quite enough to knock it off its hinges.
"W-what the hell was that?!"
"Oh. count yourself lucky you didn't get crushed. Don't worry, you get used to it after a few times."
'What the heck does he deal with?' everyone but Midoriya thought with a sweatdrop.
Midoriya opened the door, and behind it were people who looked like they were beginning to pack up their things, but covered in smoke. Then, to the right of them, they could see a pink haired girl being pushed away from the work table, and she was putting up quite a struggle.
"I told you that if you blew anything, you were out for the day! So you're out!"
"Awwwww but Power Loader! Come on! Give me another chance! You don't have to be so mean you know."
They watched this interaction, bar Midoriya and Ashido. Midoriya was used to this by now, and Ashido assumed that this was the girl Midoriya was talking about.
"Well well, Midoriya, so this is her, huh?"
"Hey, Midoriya, I didn't know Hatsume went to UA!" Uraraka pointed at her, confused to see her here.
Kirishima noticed something elses though. "What did you mean, So this is her?"
"Ummm…"
Ashido pulled in Kirishima and Uraraka to a huddle and whispered, "He likes her~"
"A-Ashido! Why?!" Midoriya joined in the whisper huddle.
Uraraka leaned in further. "Well? Is it true?"
"W-well… I…"
"What are we whispering about?"
Midoriya turned to see Hatsume had joined the huddle without him noticing. He then fell through the floor, screaming.
All of them looked down to see a portal on the ground. Kirishima dropped down and put his head through the portal, to see Midoriya leaning against the wall.
"I'm gonna take that as a yes dude."
"Why me…"
(A/N) BOOM. done. sorry that it seems each chapter is late, but I'm moving to a more fluid schedule, so chapters will be updated once a weekend. might be friday, but probably saturday or sunday. anyway, enough from me. time for the questions! i'll only do questions from the last two chapters. So let's go!
Fan girl 666: glad to see that you enjoy them being friends, if I made them be friends cannonly, it would take forever!
Zanzar- Nope. the rating will stay the same, and if I told you, it would ruin the surprise!
StevenTLawson- well, sorry to hear you don't like it. I thought the idea of a clash would be cool. The real changes will come later, but if you don't like it, just stop reading.
