A/N: What you see before you is both the next chapter… and an experiment. An attempt to enhance my writing skills by having a chapter that takes place entirely outside of Andros' point of view. Writing after the fact I can say it was more difficult than a regular chapter and required more proofreading to get it right.

Saturday. Thankfully a day that even in the times before Quirks came about was no longer a school day in Japan, but it meant that for once Izuku had pretty much nowhere to go. Not that his mum would let him. After she heard about the USJ attack she had insisted that he stay in the house for the weekend, at least for her own sake. And with how worried she had already been seeing his 'new' Quirk and just how dangerous it could be, he really didn't have the heart to try and tell her otherwise. She did so much for him, she cared so much… he wasn't going to make his mum worry more. Plus, after what had happened at the USJ…

Izuku shook his head, and simply typed in a familiar address into the browser he was using. The Hero Debate forums had always been a good source of relief and a spark of joy in his life when things had been… less than bright. Before he had met All Might. Still, he could only smile at his username. MightyAllMight. A choice he had made back when he was 10 that seemed almost silly now, but it didn't hurt that it had been one of his hero names he had suggested as a kid.

He scrolled through the categories one by one… and smiled when he looked in the Fiction vs Heroes section. Leonite must be at it again, one of the more active members of the forum who tended to go for more classic heroes and villains to face off against real ones. Endeavour vs DIO was a particularly good topic he remembered if only because it had turned into a fierce debate… but not the way he had thought. He had assumed Leonite was trying to make an obvious scenario that Endeavour would lose in – not uncommon on the site – but instead it had evolved into an honest debate where Leonite pointed out the practical ways Endeavour could use his fire to face off against the time-stopping Vampire of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, while Izuku had been forced to search through old scans and clips to counter those points.

Of course, aside from older anime and manga, all sorts had been suggested by Leonite. The western Cartoon Popeye, Ultraman, Gojira, Kamen Rider–

…Kamen Rider. A franchise that had basically been forced to end when the chaos of Quirks overtook society. A franchise that outside of niche groups who either look at old heroes or simply favour older entertainment wasn't that well-known. If it was just Kamen Rider, he'd have put it off as a coincidence, but the range of shows he had seen and references stretching back even further was enough for Izuku to risk it.

He opened the private messenger system for the forum, allowing for faster chatting between members, and sent a simple message:

MightyAllMight: Excuse me, are you Andros Nebulos?

For a moment there was no reply. Izuku sighed and prepared to send an apology… only for the computer to let out a ding as a reply came back.

Leonite: … MightyAllMight. That's you isn't it Midoriya?

MightyAllMight: If the first week hadn't been so hectic, I think we both would have figured it out.

Leonite: That's a good excuse for you. Except I happen to know your choices of hero names, so I don't have an excuse, wwww

Izuku smiled at the use of the Japanese term, having expected a more English lol instead, even as he had a slight blush. But even so, he shook his head a bit. Now wasn't the time to get distracted. After all, why was Andros on during a Saturday?

MightyAllMight: Are you ok?

Another pause… and then-

Leonite: I shouldn't have hidden the USJ from you guys. It was a bad plan that I wanted to do because it was safe. It was what I knew. I think half the class hates me now.

Oh. Yeah, that would explain why, on a sunny day like today, Andros was staying inside.

MightyAllMight: It would have been nice if you had told us… but you also told us right after a big event. Tensions were high. Even Kacchan could see why you did what you did.

Leonite: … you really know what to say to help a guy get some perspective Izuku. But I still want to make it up to each of you. How would you like to learn an ability you used not too far from now to use a bit of your Quirk without breaking bones?

Izuku leaned forward at that… and typed his response.

"Hey, onee-chan!" Asui Satsuki asked as she bounced up and down in place. "Tell us about how you took on the bad guys, kero!"

Asui Samidare sighed as he walked up to his little and bigger sister. "Sorry, onee-chan. I told her you didn't want to talk about it." He noted.

Asui Tsuyu just smiled, having sat down on the couch to keep an eye on her siblings, but also to try and take her mind off of the events of the USJ… and right after it. It hadn't been a good night sleep afterwards as she had been considering the good and the bad behind her classmate's decision. She had known there was something different about him, but being from another universe? It seemed impossible and improbable… but if even the teachers seemed to believe it…

And it wasn't like she didn't understand why he did what he did. It made sense, if there was someone worse than those villains behind them then you'd do everything you could to try and prepare for facing down that villain. But at the same time… he had used them. He'd put everyone in danger because of this plan. If it hadn't been for him practically breaking down admitting it Tsu might think worse of him… but it was a feeling she could at least sympathise with, even if she wasn't sure if she'd trust another one of his plans fully.

Oh, to be able to tell Habuko right now. But her snake friend clearly had issues of her own at school. Apparently, a guy in the class had turned her into a zombie and used her like a battering ram in a training exercise. Talking with her about it had helped to calm the nerves though. Calm enough that Tsu pulled her little sister into her lap.

"Well you have to understand first; we weren't there to fight villains…"

"Katsuki, are you sure you don't want to talk about what happened?"

"I said I'm fine a dozen times already old man!"

"Don't yell at your father! Only I get to do that!"

Hagakure sighed as she dialled the numbers on her phone, absolutely bored out of her wits at the moment. Yes, she had been in danger and… well, was still coming to terms with that, but at the same time thanks to Todoroki she had never been in danger. Really it made what she was doing easier.

The phone rang its dial tone for a moment… before picking up.

"Hello?" Andros asked.

"Andros-kun! Hey!" Hagakure said.

"H-Hagakure-san? How did you get-"

"The blond guy you brought in – Neito-kun? He miiiight have caught up with me and gave me the number." Hagakure admitted. "I think he was worried you might feel really bad about what you did."

Silence for a moment… and then a sigh. "Yep, sounds like Neito. That or he was trying to be my wingman in the most Neito way possible." Andros grumbled, before chuckling.

"Are you sure you're ok?" Hagakure questioned.

"I…" Andros' voice stopped for a moment. "Hagakure-san… don't you hate me for what I did?"

Hagakure pouted, not that Andros could see it. So, no different from usual then. Really an invisibility Quirk sounds awesome, but it means nobody gets the visual references you make. On the plus side, she could make as many funny poses as she wanted. "I mean… I wasn't happy about it; it's why I didn't speak up in class." Hagakure confessed. "And you did use us… but honestly? I'm not so worried about it!"

"… why?"

Hagakure giggled. "Simple!" She said cheerfully… before dropping her tone to deadpan. "if this was what I got in the stuff you saw, then I would have been less safe with anyone BUT Todoroki."

"… yeah, pretty sure the math checks out there."

Mirrors. Light. Sparkling. Posing. Contemplating how best to dazzle his classmates!~

These were all things… that Aoyama Yuga was not focused on right now. Indeed usually it was hard for him to focus on much else, he did like to think of how to use his specific Quirk to dazzle others but… villains had grabbed him, they had thrown him elsewhere… and he had tried to find a place to hide. This wouldn't be so bad if he hadn't heard how every other classmate had tried to fight. Midoriya's odd and faulty Quirk injuring him again to try and help others. Iida running out to get the teachers and… and then there was the question of Nebulos Andros.

Yuga wasn't sure what to think of Nebulos. On the one hand, his Quirk made him need gear to keep himself safe, so on that end, they were very much alike. He'd even considered seeing if the other boy knew much about the different types of cheese. On the other Aoyama didn't know what to think about someone else using him, trying to play chess with people's lives. It would be easy to be angry at Nebulos but every time he did, he thought back to how he had hidden.

… and how he had managed to see the moment where Nebulos had almost died. He had been too far away and at the wrong angle by the time he saw it, but Yuga had asked himself more than once if he would have even tried if he had been in the right position. And in the end… he wasn't sure.

It would be so much easier to simply be mad at Nebulos...

Iida Tenya recognized it might not seem like it sometimes, but he took his role of Class President seriously. After all, he considered himself able to be easy-going and relaxed around his classmates. But sometimes you need to go above and beyond what you're expected to do, and even more so as a Class President. So instead of just being the first to class, he was talking with each person who came in. Bakugou had brushed it off of course but even he didn't seem quite as brash as normal. Midoriya seemed fairly chipper by comparison, mostly normal, although he had devolved into mumbling after talking about some heroes. But the one he was most worried about was Nebulos Andros.

Oh, he wouldn't be surprised if the others had considered this too. And everyone would likely have scars from the event. But to have held the pressure of that plan… Iida wasn't a full hero, but he was more observant than his brother gave him credit for. The way he had been acting wasn't that of a healthy student… it was a man threatening to collapse under his own pressure.

So, as he saw Nebulos approach the classroom, he waved the boy over and to the side.

"I'm fine Iida, Midoriya-kun and Hagakure-chan talked to me about it over the weekend." Nebulos insisted before Iida even had a chance to speak.

But Iida simply shook his head. "The fact you didn't even wait for me to speak up says that you're very much not fine." Iida countered as he thrust his arms down so both hands thrust out and pointed at Nebulos. "I've seen my brother in the same situation you've put yourself in before. You're putting too much pressure on yourself for the decision you made."

"And?" Nebulos snapped. "I made the decision, but nobody seems to be yelling at me… but that's even worse. I was making friends with some of them, but now… I don't know, none of them were willing to look me in the eyes before the weekend! And they should, everyone is just trying to make sure I'm ok and… and I…" Iida couldn't see well into the suit's visor due to his glasses, but even he could tell that Nebulos was finding it hard to compose himself. So, he decided to take a radical move to help his classmate.

He placed a hand on the young man's shoulder. "What you had before you was a bad decision to have to make. Do you sacrifice the stability of what you know to help your friends, maybe even denying them the chance to grow as people… or do you lose their trust to keep the world safe?" He pulled his hand away slowly from Nebulos' shoulder… and sighed. "My brother… I don't think I need to tell you who he is. But he's told me that sometimes heroes don't always have a wholly good choice to make. And they can be difficult… but you need to try to make the best of the circumstances… and live with it."

Nebulos looked Iida dead in the eyes. The fact that his classmate was about the same height as him was a nice surprise for Iida. "… and that's why you're so serious about being in U.A. Why you were so harsh to Midoriya during the exam." Nebulos half-muttered.

Iida nodded with a smile. "All I'm asking is you try not to let it get to you Nebulos-san. Take it one step at a time."

Nebulos nodded but as he walked off, he almost seemed… distant. Iida sighed. Maybe he should have asked Tensei about it, he was good with speeches.

"You ok, Iida-kun?"

Iida looked up, stirred from his own thoughts as Uraraka approached. Actually, maybe this could be a good idea… "Uraraka-san, what do you think of the actions Nebulos-san took with the USJ?" Iida asked.

Uraraka raised an eyebrow. "I… well I'm not all that happy that he didn't tell us, but if he's trying to take down a big villain it would've been a hard choice to make. So all he did was pick the best of the two." She explained. "Why, what do you think?"

Iida smiled. "I think the same thing… I'm just worried Nebulos-san doesn't think so." He admitted.

Uraraka looked towards the door of the classroom and hummed

Kirishima could respect someone having to hide a secret. He'd be a hypocrite if he didn't. He could even respect someone having the guts to come out and admit when they considered themselves in the wrong. But before homeroom started people could freely talk… and he could see that people were giving Nebulos Andros looks. And to his surprise, Nebulos soon stood up.

"You all probably have a lot of questions for me at this point," Nebulos noted. "And… given we're waiting for Homeroom to start… go ahead."

For a moment the class was silent, people looking at each other as if wondering who might ask first. And then Shoji formed a mouth.

"If you saw what happened through a manga, was it one that followed just the class, or was there a main character?" Shoji asked, straight to the point.

And immediately the room felt like it had suddenly doubled in pressure and Kirishima had to resist the urge to try and stop Bakugou from blowing anyone up. Todoroki even seemed to be focusing intently on the question, as was Midoriya and a few others. Kirishima was a bit curious himself… but wasn't surprised when Nebulos crossed his arms.

"Nooo nononono, no, no way. I know what a minefield that is in this classroom." Nebulos insisted.

Mineta leaped onto his chair to stand taller. "Was it a harem anime!?" He declared. Kirishima sighed as he hadn't quite been sure what to expect… and Mineta had lived down to his expectations.

"No, it was a shonen, and no Mineta, you weren't the main character." Nebulos cut in. "Yes, there was smut, no I don't have access to any of it and I'm not telling you about it. It's creepy when it's about people I know personally!"

Mineta sat down with an exasperated groan, only for Ojiro to raise a hand. "If you've read that, you know the future, right?" Ojiro asked

Nebulos crossed his arms over his chest, not out in front this time. "Yes and no. It's a potential future." He corrected.

"You gonna try to keep it being the future?" Jiro demanded. Kirishima actually winced at the question, she had practically spat it out and was staring daggers at Nebulos.

Nebulos simply responded by shaking his head in the… overexaggerated manner that Kirishima had realized was to make up for his suit. "It was a bad choice of two… and I don't want to hide anything else. That includes your future special moves or techniques by the way. Anyone who can use theirs, I'll tell you, and if you need to train first, I can say that too. Just… when we have free time." Nebulos insisted.

The mood in the class was still uneasy at that… but any further questions were essentially silenced when Aizawa-sensei entered the room with a bandaged arm. But Kirishima was fine with that. He didn't want to know anything about his future, he was fine learning it himself.

Kaminari wasn't that smart. He knew it, his parents knew it, and he was just counting the days until a big test came up and proved it to the class and any reputation, he had would have a massive hole shot through it. He actually half-expected it was a side effect from his Quirk, but his parents weren't letting him go to a doctor to prove that flawless theory. And if anything was difficult for him, despite it being a favoured subject for him, it was English. He had read Farewell to Arms, after all, he did have SOME brains, just not in most of the things that school usually asked him to do.

And while he would readily admit to himself that he didn't trust the cross-dimensional classmate to make a plan without telling the class anymore… he wasn't a bad guy overall if he's willing to help out with English right?

Kaminari raised his hand slightly… and smiled as Nebulos came over. To be fair it was actually easier discussing this with Nebulos than Present Mic who, for all his pizzazz, could be very over the top about a boring subject.

Rikido sighed as he walked through the cafeteria. Mina was nowhere in sight… and honestly, he didn't blame her. They had only known Andros for a few days and been friends for even less, and then it ends up he'd been hiding two massive secrets. Oh, he wasn't bothered by it himself. Frankly, the fact that Andros was trying to do it to help out All Might sorta sold it for him, but at the same time, he could admit that he saw where there could be problems, and he knew exactly how Mina felt about it right now.

Rikido didn't like to dwell on things though, and he had decided to vent his anger with one of the hardest dishes he could make – a souffle. It required precision, perfect timing, and the right ingredients. And it also meant that any anger he had towards Andros had been vented into making the souffle. It was just how he coped with things. And it wasn't like this was the only time that Andros had a plan and hadn't told him… but at the same time, he'd seen the man breaking down in the classroom. As far as Rikido was concerned, it wasn't going to be an issue again

And he didn't see a reason to bring it up either as he simply pulled into the same line of seats as Neito Monoma, Mei Hatsume, Itsuka Kendo and Andros Nebulos. And seeing Andros smile slightly as he did was all he wanted to see.

Shoto was of the mind that he probably should have been in a situation like this years ago. The Hero class was one with All Might, but it seemed to be designed with the idea that they were trying to approach the trauma of the villain attack. The desks in class had been moved to the side and they were all sitting in a circle of chairs, discussing their own experiences. They had been encouraged to think about what they had done well and what they could improve with in regard to the USJ attack. All Might had even had the insight to make Nebulos go first to get the obvious point out of the way.

But Shoto was also of the mind that it wasn't the only mistake that had been made, while All Might mostly had to point out to others what they might not have noticed through self-criticism – Momo, Kaminari, and Jiro having been exceptions who noted lack of a plan for Kaminari not knocking everyone out.

And then… his turn.

"I believe that what happened with me can be compared to the other big failings brought up so far," Shoto noted. "I sent out a wave of ice to freeze all the villains in front of me… but I failed to consider that someone aside from me had been brought to the location. I didn't know that Hagakure was there at the time and I could have hit her." And given his powers that was extremely important, he could have given Hagakure frostbite.

"But you reduced that chance by focusing on the villains." All Might pointed out. Todoroki looked at the number one hero in shock, and All Might's constant smile was still there. "I imagine you've been taking things to heart."

Shoto briefly glanced at Nebulos, and then simply went silent. Did he do that because he had been thinking about the comments Nebulos had made during the exercise? Was it something the other Shoto did too? He didn't expect Nebulos to know, it had been five years according to his own story… but it was something to think about. It wasn't something he liked to think about much though. He was Shoto Todoroki. In his mind, it didn't matter if another Shoto Todoroki was more stable, used his fire, or had his mother. He was himself, and he wasn't going to let a potentially true, potentially not theory be what decided it for him

"I'm worried you don't know what being from another universe and confirming the multiverse means Nebulos-san!" Momo insisted, putting her hand down on the table just softly enough to not capture Iida's attention.

Nebulos' helmet of his suit looked up suddenly as she said that, and even Momo could tell he was raising an eyebrow underneath. But that was fine, she had been considering what she was talking about for a while and, without having any extra source, she was forced to bring this up with Nebulos Andros. "What do you mean?"

Momo sighed. She had hoped it wouldn't need explaining. Maybe he hadn't considered it? "Well firstly... how do you know you're the only case of someone being taken from your world – or any other world – and put into this one? That there aren't some villains who pulled you here for a reason?" She questioned. "… or if someone from your world or some other world did it."

Nebulos suddenly stilled at that last point, before he hummed slightly. "I don't have any proof that I'm the only person brought in… but as for there being someone who caused it… if it was a villain in this world, I don't think I would have gotten out of the hospital. Kurogiri managed to find me back then, and they would be prepared in theory." Nebulos explained. "And as for someone from another world doing it… I honestly couldn't tell you. There are so many examples of beings of power in fiction who could do that… Q from Star Trek, Truth from Full Metal Alchemist, Bat-Mite from DC Comics! Hell, throw a stone in superhero comics and you'll likely hit something like it."

"Truth wouldn't be this subtle about it," Sero called out.

Nebulos double-took at that and stared at Sero. "That series is ancient by today's standards!" He half-shouted.

"But it's a classic about using your abilities in a smart way." Sero shot back with a smile, having turned around on his chair to mostly be looking behind him and to what would be the right side of the chair, mostly to be actually facing the two as they talked, being a row in front and a column to the left of Nebulos. "Where do you think I got the basis for my sticky net trap? I'm kinda surprised you didn't speak up about that idea YaoMomo."

Momo blushed, but happily accepted the class nickname that had been granted to her, bestowed upon her by students who were the best of the best. "I was more interested in books on science and electronics than comics. To me, it didn't seem worth it to go for something so unrealistic with how my powers work. But that's beside the point." She turned back to Nebulos at that. "The other problem is… well now you've brought up that there's a world where we're all an anime and manga, don't you worry about what it might do to the spirit of the class? It's existentialism, it invites a nihilistic view on our actions."

"Or in other words, what value is there in doing anything, and would we have done that in the story. Or what does it matter if in another world we did the opposite" Tokoyami, who sat directly left to Nebulos, brought up. "It's not… the greatest outlook to have on things."

Momo nodded… and wrapped her arms around herself. "I… am a bit worried about what the future holds now if this attack was the start of something even greater. But I'm also worried of having to live up to myself." She admitted.

Nebulos sighed at that. "I… was worried this might happen a bit and…" He trailed off. It seemed that for once the boy had nothing to say.

"I don't think you guys need to worry about it."

Momo suddenly looked towards the new voice, along with Nebulos, Sero, and a few other class members. Extending out from Todoroki's shadow was an avian being made of pure darkness, yellow eyes staring out from the mass… and giving everyone a thumbs up.

"Dark Shadow, why are you-" Tokoyami started.

"Fumikage, man, ya worry about these things too much. I put up with it over the weekend but I'm not gonna let you and your new friends get depressed about that sorta stuff." Dark Shadow insisted. "I mean sure, there's infinite yous and infinite mes, but that doesn't matter, because WE'RE the ones experiencing what we experience! Whether we learn from the fights, whether we look past issues, or whether I do this!" And at that Dark Shadow lightly conked Nebulos on the head. "Don't hide secrets from your classmates when it involves them!"

Nebulos rubbed his head… and then started to chuckle. Momo put a hand over her mouth as she started to giggle… and soon the entire small group had burst into peals of laughter at just what they had gotten themselves worked up into

This was probably the most difficult few days of Ashido Mina's life. She was a social girl by nature, bubbly, energetic, out there… she usually settled fights back in middle school in any way she could. Usually, she didn't let anything bother her.

And then Nebulos Andros had said he had used the class and he was from another world. An actual alien, in a sense.

Mina hadn't known what to think. For the first time in her life, she had been met with a situation with a friend where she couldn't figure out the solution. Put her up against a ridiculously huge and intimidating villain asking for the address of a Hero office? She sends it in another direction. Two rivals about to fight? Breakdance between them. And yet finding out a guy who she had been friends with for half a week, who she was starting to appreciate the company of his whole group of friends, had been lying... had been using them…

It didn't help that Mina had been reflecting the most on her role at the USJ. Everyone had some sort of tale when they came away from it. Andros defied death. Uraraka, Shoji, and Rikido stopped Kurogiri from grabbing Iida. Kirishima had partnered up with Bakugou to kick ass. And she had just… stayed with Thirteen and froze up. It wouldn't be so bad if she hadn't frozen up a second time later on. She should've been a good friend, tried to comfort Andros… but there were whispers of thoughts in her mind that told her to be mad at him, even now.

So, she had asked him to walk with her toward lunch and had intentionally gotten them to walk slower towards the cafeteria. She couldn't keep putting it off – the last two days especially had felt like hell; she hadn't even used the number Neito had given her.

"… I… I don't really know how to talk to you after what you told everyone." Mina started. "I'm so used to being able to tell what my friends are thinking, what everyone is doing. I'm so used to being able to help everyone in some way." She sucked in a breath, forcing down a choked sob, it wouldn't do for her to cry, not yet, not now, no, please. "I… I don't know what to think of you right now. You're really nice to people but you used us. You cried but I don't know if that was just an act or not! You're from this other world and… I don't even know how much you know about me and… and…" and that was the breaking point as she broke out into tearful sobs. "Part of me wants to hate you for it… but you're still my friend. I want to still be friends but part of me doesn't." And that was the hardest thing to admit. She was even getting through to Bakugou… and she liked Andros more than Bakugou.

For a moment Andros stood their stunned… and then he moved closer and, as he seemed to make a strangled sob himself, spread his arms wide. Mina took it and the two started to sob.

"I-I'm soooorry!" Andros sobbed out "I should have told you from the start."

"No, I'm s-sorry!" Mina insisted. "I didn't trust you; I could've at least asked!"

Needless to say, it'd be a few moments before the two would pick themselves out of the mutual crying session and to push on to lunch.

The moment that Jiro Kyoka heard the type of training they were going to be doing in the hero course today – one on one sparring – she couldn't contain herself.

"I want to take on Nebulos."

She didn't regret saying it, even if she wished she wasn't so eager about this. Even if Nebulos was the sort of ass who used them, who played with their lives as pieces on a chessboard to carry out plans and was probably still considering doing it, he didn't seem like a villainous type. But there was something about how easily he had used them, about how he knew so much about them which felt like it invaded their privacy that it made her steam on the inside.

All Might paused for a moment… and then Nebulos stepped forward with a sort of far off glint to his gaze. With the destruction of his old hero costume, he had resorted to using his PE uniform when it came time to do Hero classwork it seemed. "Sensei… I'm fine with doing it." Nebulos insisted, even as he stared her dead in the eyes. Asshole. Trying to figure out what she's thinking.

All Might nodded and simply gestured out to the sparring area they were using. A single street in the urban training ground, with the rules simply being that you had to force your opponent to concede. All Might explained it was to prepare them for the Sports Festival in a month's time – not long after the midterms either from what Nebulos had 'guessed' - and that following classes would also allow them to train for preparing to be in a limited area. Nebulos took his place further down the street and gas already started to push out from him, pooling around his feet and slowly swirling around them. Kyoka's earphone jacks were ready and she prepared to bend down…

"START!"

As soon as All Might had made the declaration Kyoka plugged in her jack to her boot and started to let out a single burst of sound. Nothing too harmful, but enough to get her an easy win on a regular human. As she did though she managed to catch Nebulos shout something-

"Vaporize!"

-and as he did the gas surged upwards and coated his body, red-tinged light flashing before the sonic wave started to disperse it. Kyoka had to resist the urge to let out a "tch" in frustration but she had a plan for this, even as the tougher Nebulos pushed towards her far faster than he would have before, as he came in to punch down at her she jumped up, narrowly dodging the punch, before lashing out with a punch of her own. Nebulos caught the punch, but that was fine, it had only been a distraction anyway!

Both of her jacks swung down at the strange material of this changed form. As she expected it wasn't easy to get a purchase, but with the force of gravity and her body weight behind it the jacks pushed in and started to buzz the sonic waves away at him. Nebulos raised up both his arms and let out a strangled cry of surprise – one he had probably tried to force down – and Kyoka took advantage of this, lashing out with super close quarter punches and kicks to the toughened body, blow after blow impacting against it.

It's right about the point that she realizes that despite three punches to the gut he's only bent over slightly that Nebulos lashes out with a palm strike to the stomach that sent her stumbling back a few steps, steps that she soon made a bit further to keep her distance as Nebulos shook his head. She watched on as Nebulos seemed almost unphased. She had just blasted him with both jacks in his body, with enough force to knock him over, and yet he didn't even seem unsteady!

"If you're going to try and hit me Jiro-san... you're going to need to turn up the volume," Andros taunted, his voice almost sounding mocking in that distorted manner. "Hit me with everything you've got!"

And at that a growl left Kyoka's throat as she knelt down, inserting both jacks into her boot speakers. If he wanted power, she'd give that asshole power!

"Bo-" All Might started but was soon cut off by a massive blast of sound that even sent Kyoka's ears ringing from the sheer concentrated sonic force blasted out by it, tearing up the concrete between her and Andros who simply crossed his arms... and was blown back by the force, sent flying as he collided with the wall of a nearby building.

Immediately Kyoka pulled out her jacks and stumbled back, before forcing herself to sit down hard on the ground as the smoke from the powerful blast started to clear, a ringing running through her ears. Everyone seemed to sound so faint briefly before it was almost like her ears came back into focus. She watched on, shocked as the dust cleared, revealing rubble... and she let out a breath she didn't even realize she was holding as Nebulos pulled himself out of the rubble with a pained groan. ... she even swore he could hear him say something under his breath.

"Ah… so that's a hazard level…"

Kyoka still rushed over towards N- no, no he had said to call him Andros and as mad as she might have been before she couldn't stay quite that angry after blasting him into a building by accident. Still, she rushed over to him even as he was still managing to be in his transformed state. Whatever you could say about it design-wise, he could clearly take a beating with it. She reached down to him… and Andros chuckled and took it, both of them pulling him to his feet.

"You're still an ass for doing what you did before, and I don't trust you to plan a surprise party let alone something involving villains… but thanks, I think I needed that." Kyoka admitted.

Andros chuckled. "Sometimes we all need some stress relief. Just not using me as the stress ball next time." He groaned, even as All Might approached them. "Plus, if what I… think that feeling I just got was, you're going to be a strong hero."

Kyoka snorted. "You say that like I wasn't going to be already." She shot back as All Might stepped in front of the two.

"Ah, good, so you're both ok after that." All Might commented. "However, I'm going to have to declare the match over there. No point in pushing yourselves too hard! I expected these sorts of results from young Bakugou or perhaps by accident from you young Nebulos."

Kyoka nodded at that while Andros stayed quiet for a moment… before the armoured form he was in dissipated into wisps of gas in the air, revealing him in his intact PE uniform. "That's fair… don't want to give Recovery Girl extra work." Andros commented… and was it Kyoka's imagination or was All Might sweating a bit at that? Either way, the two started to head back towards the class.

"Hey, you said you got a reading of my… hazard level thing, right?" Kyoka asked. "The one you mentioned to Sato last week?"

"What about it?" Andros questioned, tilting his head to the side.

Kyoka let a wicked grin cross her face. "What level was it?" She asked, curious. If Hazard Level 1 was meant to be weaker than normal, then anything high enough must mean someone is strong right?

"... Hazard Level 3. Congratulations, if I was willing to risk making the system you could be a Kamen Rider."

Kyoka just chuckled to herself at that.
