Special Extra Chapter:
Four weeks had already passed since the League Of Villain's attack, and only now was Class 1-A back at the U.S.J. And standing in a crowd, Sakura had her legs bandaged under Recovery Girl's advice to take some time off from using her Quirk to heal.
The pinkette leaned onto Bakugou's shoulder lazily, having gotten closer to the boy between the four weeks when Bakuguo would often shove the girl out of the way to get her a tray of food if the line was too long. " I don't want you collapsing and spilling your food everywhere. You'd get it all over me." Were Bakugou's words of excuse.
" Despite the attack, I'd have to say that class is still class. " Thirteen said upfront, voice cheerful despite all that had happened. " Shall we begin?"
Sakura stood up straighter, a look off worry in her viridian eyes. " Are you sure you've fully recovered Teacher?"
" I'm fine, fine." Thirteen replied, spinning on one leg as if to prove a point on the matter. The Pro then jutted a thump over to Aizawa who had his face fully covered in bandages due to his injuries. " Aizawa over here suffered the most. And I do recall someone saying you broke your legs as well Haruno."
Sakura flushed as eyes went over to her. " I-i've gotten better. Nothing serious."
" Lets start class. We're wasting time just standing around making polite conversations anyway." Aizawa said, his voice drawling out lazily as he made his ways down the steps. However the hero was soon stopped by Midoriya who had been searching for something the moment he had stepped into the training arena.
" Mr. Aizawa, where's All Might? Wasn't he suppose to meet us here as well?" Midoriya asked to which Aizawa only shrugged his shoulders uncaringly at the question.
As Sakura left Bakugou's side and made her way down the stairs, she had swung an arm around Uraraka and vice versa. Both girls were more than excited for their first official rescue training with Thirteen and were gravely disappointed when they had to wait weeks until they were brought back to the U.S.J.
Class A was brought to a mountain section with a fissure running down the side. Curious, Sakura peered down only to meet darkness. Sighing, she carefully got back to Uraraka's side and sat on one of the large rocks sizable for a chair.
" Today, we'll be doing some rescue training where around three students will be down this chasm pretending to be injured victims. Each will be suffering from different symptoms such as being anxious or simply being hurt." Thirteen explained.
Up front, Kirishima had leaned in to check out the gorge. " I can barely see the bottom! How do we get down there?"
Sakura looked down on her legs and pulled up her P.E. uniform's leg to see if her wrapping was secure. The pinkette's legs were fine, she could probably still fight with them even if they were like this. Beside, the only reason she still had her bandages on was to stabilize it during the training under Recovery Girl's words.
" Lets see. The ones down in the chasm will be you four." Thirteen pointed over to Sakura, Uraraka, Midoriya, and Iida
The pinkette stared wide eyes at her teacher, not expecting to be one of the injured. However she decided to go with the flow as she and the other three students selected were ushered down into the fissure.
" We must do our best to fulfill the role of being injured!" Iida announced to which he got small cheers from Uraraka. " Haruno, you've passed out due to lack of energy, got it? Uraraka, you've been hit in the head while Midoriya will pretend he had broken one of his bone. I'll be the one extremely worried during this situation."
Sakura let out a small giggle as she turned over to Midoriya. " A bit ironic isn't it? You've broken your bones even in this scenario."
" Come on Sakura-chan! Lets do our best to play dead!" Uraraka smiled widely, patting the spot next to her for Sakura to lay down. " The faster we're saved, the faster we'll be able to help save others."
The pinkette nodded and laid down stiffly before relaxing onto the rock floor. The moment the two girls had laid down, Iida begun to shout for help frantically, even waving his arms in the air wildly as if to signal their whereabout. Closing her eyes to get into characters, Sakura heard the faint shouting from up the cliff.
" Why am I rescuing Deku?!" Bakugou shouted loudly and it traveled down to where the the said boy was, making him twitch in nervous laughter.
Sakura however, let out a low sigh as she felt her legs going numb from the lack of movements. " My legs feels numb. I really wish they would hurry up though, with the time Firecracker's arguing, I'd have time to sleep for half a hour."
" Help! Save us!" Iida cried out, his voice loud and clear. But the way he was too much into character earned him muffled laughter from Uraraka.
From above came Yaoyorozu's reassuring voice. " We'll be there to save you! Please be careful, we'll be there soon!"
" Thank you! We're saved!" Midoriya replied in character.
Slowly the students up the cliff got the pulley created and they lowered a raft with Tokoyami on it. The moment Tokoyami got out to help Uraraka up first, Iida leaned over Sakura and shouted words of encouragement.
" Don't worry Haruno! We're saved!" The tall boy cried in relief. " Everything's going to be okay!"
Sakura opened one of her eyes and she gave the boy a wide smile, creating smile wrinkles near her eyes. " You're making this really hard to stay passed out Iida."
" Hurry Tokoyami! Haruno's hallucinating because of the lack of warmth in her cheeks!" Iida ordered, causing the pinkette to quiver in laughter as she was picked up and placed next to Uraraka in the rescue raft. She felt Dark Shadow helping them lift off and thanked him softly to which he only gave the girl a weird look.
Once they were out of the gorge, Yaoyorozu walked over to the two girls to help them out. " Are you okay Uraraka? You're fidgeting a lot."
" Sorry, sorry! It's just that Iida-kun is so serious." Uraraka replied getting up. She offered a hand to Sakura who had slowly sat up. " Come on Sakura-chan, lets wait for Deku and Iida to be save as well."
The two girls walked over to Thirteen who was observing the action of the current rescue team. " Rescuing someone without the use of your Quick can be a taxing job but it's best to judge the situation before using your Quirk. I'm sure Bakugo can become a beautiful Hero."
" Nah. He'll never be beautiful." Sero commented and Sakura nudged him with her foot. " Er..I mean yet. He'll never be beautiful yet!"
After Midoriya and Iida was brought out, it was soon decided who was going to be the next team. Midoriya, Sakura, Uraraka, and Iidea were now the rescue team. And Asui, Mineta, Kirishima, and Shoji were the next injured victims.
" Uraraka and I will be going down. You two will stay up here to catch those who float up." Sakura said after the injured were sent down the fissure, already jumping down into the gorge pulling Uraraka along with her.
" I've got Tsu-chan and Kirishima." Uraraka said as Sakura put her down carefully. " Can you get Shoji and Mineta?"
The pinkette nodded in reply as she walked over to her two assigned students. " Is it okay if I carry you over my shoulders Shoji, Mineta?"
" Sure, but will you be okay?" Shoji asked, nodding to the girl's legs. " I'm bigger than you, and I'm worry that I'll be too heavy."
" It'll be okay. They've gotten better during the four weeks, nothing serious. Now lets get going." Sakura helped the bigger boy up and tossed him over her shoulders, eyes glowing green in power. She then bend down to Mineta and lifted him from the scruff of his costume.
The pinkette then turned over to Uraraka and signaled the brunette that she was going up. Sakura's eyes glowed green as she directed her Quirk's flow to her legs and arms. She bended her knees and took off from the ground. Carefully she landed near Iida.
" Good, we now only have to wait for Kirishima to float up." Iida said, glancing down to check. " Here he come!"
Kirishima floated out of the gorge and above Iida's held out hands. The red haired boy was soon dropped into the awaiting arms and Uraraka was soon floating out as well. Some students got to rescue while others stood by, finding their Quirk not very useful for the situation.
" You guys did good for only your first time. We'll now be moving onto the next battle scenario. Come on everyone, we'll be moving to a different setting." Thirteen declared after the last student was rescue.
" For this training, it's more of a real-life experience." Thirteen explained, gesturing to the debris laying around. " Four of you will be the rescuer and the other sixteen will be spread out hiding in any placed possible. This is suppose to give off the struggle of finding injured victims."
" We're playing hide-and-seek!" Ashido declared, pumping her fist into the air.
" No exactly, but almost." Thirteen corrected before pointing over to Sakura and the people near her. " Bakugou, Haruno, Uraraka, and Midoriya will be the rescuer. The rest of two minute to hide."
Sakura leaned onto Bakugou as she watched the rest of their classmates scattering out to all different places. She let out a sigh as she counted the time in her head...One hundred and fifty-nine...one hundred and sixty.
" Lets go." Sakura said, standing up straighter and take a couple steps forward to only feel someone grabbing her wrist.
Bakugou gave the girl a smirk when she turned around to see who had stopped her. " Follow my lead you garbage." And before Sakura knew it, she was yank up into the sky, Bakugou using one of his arm to propel them off the ground with his Quirk.
" Firecracker! What are you doing?! At this rate we'll be harming more than saving!" Sakura cried over the wind, cautious of Bakugou's explosion which had hit an already crumbling building. " Why's you bring me with you!?"
The two students landed on top of a building, both careful to not step on any tiles that may give into their weight. " If we work in twos, we'll be able to cover more grounds. I'll check the second floor, you take first."
Sakura let out a sigh as she made her way down the layers of debris that served as a staircase. Bakugou stayed behind on the second floor as she went down the second stairs and onto the first floor. There, she heard soft breathing.
" Anyone here?" Sakura called out, searching corners and under rubbishes. She lifted up two debris that formed a sort of house to meet a classmate. " Kaminari! Found you."
The said boy sat up and scratched the back of his head sheepishly. " I really thought no one would find me here. But thankfully it's a beauty such as you."
Sakura gave him a funny look, her eyes twitching at the remark. She helped Kaminari up and before leaving, she called out to Bakugou to tell him she was taking Kaminari to the safe zone. But just as she got out of the building, a loud noise could be heard not faraway.
" Is it another villain attack?" Kaminari voiced out loud, frantically searching around to where the sound may have come form. Off in the distance, a mist of dust could be seen bubbling near Uraraka and Iida.
Sakura bit her lips, her eyes narrowed into a glare. " I'm going to check it out, you go alert Aizawa and Thirteen."
Before she could even get a reply, the pinkette was already heading off to where the dust was collecting at. When she neared the area, she saw some of her classmates crowding around a large man in a villain sort of costume. And in one of his hands was Todoroki, passed out.
" What?" Sakura gasped, not really expecting a villain. " The force checked the whole building a few weeks ago, how can a villain get in again?"
" Everyone, run to the exit!" Ojiro shouted, running toward Class A along with Kaminari to alert the rest of the class of Aizawa's words. " Thirteen and Mr. Aizawa can't figth and they say it's best to avoid fighting with this villain as well!"
" No one's going anywhere!" The villain said, and before the students could get away, he raised a leg and stomped down onto the ground. The gesture created a powerful force of air that knocked back building and rose dust up from the floor.
Sakura flew into a building, not expecting the villain to do something so destructive in the first few minutes. Behind the pinkette, the building she crashed into cracked and swayed, and a few debris separated from the main structure to fall near the girl.
The pinkette then looked up, and she took a step back. The whole area had been cleared of buildings and rubbish. Class A was scattered all over the place, some on the ground while others were standing, but just barely.
" Now that the terrain had been cleared, you're all done for!" The villain declared, a hitch of amusement in his tone.
And out of the blue, Bakugou went flying toward the man, aiming for an explosion to the villain's face. But to no surprise, the villain was able to catch Bakugou's fist and push the said boy back.
" You guys run. I'll be the one to defeat him!" Bakugou said before charging in yet again head first.
On and on, Bakugou sent explosion at the villain. At one point the boy got a large explosion right at the villain's back, making the man take a couple steps forward. The blonde then jumped back a little, taking some time to catch his breath.
" Well, what are you waiting for? Take those weakling with you." Bakugou shouted, but he was soon stop by the voice of Kirishima.
" Who do you mean by Weakling. It can't possibly be one of us." Kirishima said, stepping forward along with Yaoyarozu.
The black haired girl placed her hand on her heart. " That's right. We are the twenty-one students of Class 1-A in the Hero Course. We will stay and fight. That's what true Heroes do no matter the advantage the villain has."
And as if one cue, the students started to attack one by one. Just as Yaoyorozu captured the villain in fishing net, Sakura ran forward, her fist pulled back. She aimed a punch for the villain's abdomen to which he moved his hand so she had hit his palm.
But the attack alone was powerful to the point blades of wind rippled through the battle field. The only problem was that the villain didn't seem the least bit effected by Sakura's performance. Frowning, the pinkette jumped back.
" Everyone, hold on tight!" Sakura called out. She raised her fist and brought it down on the ground. Her Quirk traveled to her clenched fist, and on contact, it released. At first there was only cracks on the field, but soon it expanded and the cracks became debris of rocks that fell out of place.
Dust arose form the ground, creating a layer of thick fog. The pinktte jumped out of the area to see what the villain's next step maybe. When she saw that the villain had only stumble a little she got ready to go in again. " He's not effected to the point it's making me frustrated."
" Sakura wait! I have a plan so hear me out." Midoriya called out, stopping the girl from moving any further. " Right now Kacchan's our distraction. You, Mineta, Uraraka..."
" Are you sure it's going to work?" Sakura asked after Midoriya explained the plan.
Midoriya only looked at his hands. " It has to or else we'll be in big trouble. Mr. Aizawa can't fight at the moment and Thirteen is still slightly injured. We'll have to go with it. Mineta, hand me one of your balls."
The smaller boy obliged, plucked one if his purple ball and handed it over to Midoriya. Uraraka then stepped forward and touched Midoriya's arm with all five fingers, making him float. And Asui wrapped her tongue around Midoriya's waist, stopping him form flying up to the sky too high. Given the signal, Asui threw the boy toward the villain.
In one swift movement, Midoriya reached out and pressed the sticky ball on Todoroki who was still being held. Surprise by the attack, the villain let go of Todoroki so Midoriya was able to carry the passed out boy to safety.
The green haired boy placed Todoroki on the floor and raised a hand. He bended a finger back, and after a minute, he released his finger from the hold. A blast of wind from the power directed itself toward the villain. But despite the power, the villain stood his ground.
" Now Sakura!" Midoriya called out to the pinkette.
Sakura, who had been searching for an angle to do her part gave the boy a smile. She raised a debris triple her size and started to spin around. At some point, after building up enough momentum, Sakura let got of the rubbish, launching it at the villain.
The object went hurling at the man, hitting him right in the middle. Because of the blades of wind caused by Midoriya, the villain wasn't able to see the debris thrown at him, thus not being able to counter it when it hit him. However, the piece of rock had only pushed the villain back a little, and already was the rubbish breaking.
Just as Sakura was about to go to Plan B, Bakugou rushed forward and launched an attack the villain, shoving the man back to the slab of rocks with Mineta's balls that were placed there while Midoriya fought against the villain.
Sakura let out a sigh of relief when she saw the villain unable to move from his spot. She made her way over to him, ready to see who was under the mask. But barely there, Bakugou had already reached the villain, and before the blonde could remove the mask, the villain did it himself.
" I am here!" All Might shouted, his grin as wide as ever.
The pinkette stopped dead in her tracks, her face blank. But after the fact that the villain was All might sunk in, she stomped over to the hero, hands on her hips and her face glaring dagger at the man. She didn't say anything, but tapped her foot, waiting for his explanation.
" I want to do a surprise in the end where a villain attacked." All Might laughed, but it soon died down when he saw the looks on his students face. " That...I'm sorry."
" All Might!" The students shouted, not approving of his lack of genuine apology. Sakura, however let out a long sigh. She crossed her arms in front of her and gave All Might a tired smile that went miles beyond.
" I hate to say it, but the surprise was a good idea." Sakura said, and her classmates looked at her bewildered.
" But Sakura-chan, he shouldn't have done that after what had happen." Uraraka said, confused as to why the pinkette was siding with All Might.
" Yeah Sakura, even though we did fight, we were all scared." Kirishima added. " It wasn't something to joke about."
Sakura nodded, agreeing with everything they had said. " But Kirishima, that first part that you just said told me something else. Didn't you see? We were all scared, we probably even doubted surviving this attack after see what All Might had done. But none of us ran, we had all stayed.
Today, we all took actions that were of true Heroes."
