Midoriya's POV
Shit
Shit
I knew something was gonna go wrong, but I didn't expect it to be of this magnitude. We are screwed, I looked to my side, all of them had a terrified expression. I mean what did you expect, roses and sunshine?
Right now, Almight is fighting a terrifying villain, who I'm guessing is All For One. Katsuki is fighting with the rest of the villains, more like dodging barely.
We have to do something or else it's only a matter of time before we might get caught in the crossfire. We have to escape and if possible, get Katsuki out of there. because of that idiot Almight is not able to go all out.
Think
Think
Think
Find a opening, Katsuki is using his quirk to escape from their attacks…wait escape?
That's it!
"hey I got a plan", Iida suddenly moved and grabbed my collar.
"no way I'm not letting you rush out, it'll put all of us in danger."
"no, you idiot, I have a way to escape as well as get him out of there", I doing this whether he allows me to or not.
"let's listen to him Iida, the media is gonna be here in few minutes, we have to get out before that", Todoroki intervened.
"what's the plan Midoriya?", Kirishima asked with curiosity.
"here is the plan…", I explained them everything, they all nodded in surprise.
"man, I knew you would come in handy", Kirishima put an arm over the shoulder. Handy? That's it this the last time I'm helping you out.
Me, Kirishima and Iida took formation like a cavalry. Todoroki and Momo stood beside us. Momo handed me a stun gun, she used against Stain.
3…2…..1…"NOW!", I yelled…
Upon my que, Kirishima hardened his skin, Iida used his recipro burst and I used full cowling, to smash through the wall. At that instant Todoroki made a huge ice slope. We three started moving on it with Iida 's boost and my full cowling.
after we reach the top, we are flying across the battle field. The ice slope began to fell down, the villains noticed us and so does Katsuki.
Almight is keeping All For One occupied…..
Now the only thing is to retrieve Katsuki. Kirishima has to be the one to do it. from my observations since the beginning of the school, you were his best friend.
"COME ON", Kirishima yelled, showing his hand for Bakugo to see.
If his friend calls for him….he would…
In a instant, Katsuki blasted himself from the ground and caught Kirishima 's hand, he had a huge grin plastered on his face.
"you got be kidding me!", he said still grinning.
"Katsuki use your blast to further propel us", I said to him without facing him. He did as I said. But the villains didn't just give up, one of them used their quirk to send that masked villain we encountered in the forest trip.
"this isn't good, I think he might catch us", Katsuki had a worried tone.
"it's alright I got this", I pointed the gun to him and fired off a shot. The dart hit him in the forehead and began to fall.
"you fucking shot him with a gun?", Katsuki exclaimed
"it's just a stun gun", come on stop asking questions…
I looked down, Almight had surprised look on his face, including the villains. Then the villains again tried to launch another person, but before that Grand Torino appeared and knocked them out.
I looked at Shigaraki, he too had his eyes fixated on me. sorry Shigaraki I'm not letting you win. This is not the right time; I think you could benefit more from losing than winning now.
We all reached the ground, I spotted both Momo and Todoroki waving at us, then Todoroki created a ice wave that caught just few feet above the ground, to reduce the impact on our legs. Then he used his fire quirk to melt the ice.
Wait …..fire?
I heard from Momo that he didn't use his fire in the sports festival finals. I looked him in the eye, he shifted his gaze away from me. still hesitant on using it huh? man…. now I have another powerful quirk to compete with…
Katsuki's POV
I can't believe what I'm seeing…
Almight is…skinny? What is going on?
He is the greatest hero of all time…. how could this even happen….?
No…..no…. I shouldn't give up on him…..he is still the hero I admired….he never gives up…he always saves people, saves us…..
"COME ON ALMIGHT !", I yelled at top of my lungs along with all the people around me. we all want him to win…he is the pillar that holds the ceiling.
I can feel the energy and concerns of all the people around me. every single one of them is inspired by him one way or the other. I looked around, even my friends are cheering him on, except for one person…
Izuku Midoriya…..
He has no emotions on his face, he was watching the fight closely on the huge monitor. He had his right hand under his chin. I have known him long enough to know what he is thinking? usually he does that when he is analyzing something.
What he doesn't like Almight now? but that can never be true, there is one thing I'm sure about him is that he admires Almight as much as I do….
But…
"UNITED STATES OF SMASH", Almight finished off the villain with his final move. The punch made a tornado, even the media on the helicopter had a hard time filming it.
The entire people erupted in cheers…. Almight raised his fists in air, and turned back to muscle form. But he stumbled a little…
I brought my hand to my check and I felt wet. I immediately rubbed it off as fast as I could. I didn't expect to cry this much…man…I feel embarrassed.
After that the we decided to move out, we have to get back to our houses. We started walking after the crowd started to clear up. The monitor still showed the live footage of what's going on over there.
"NEXT, IT'S YOUR TURN", Almight pointed his hand directly to the camera. The people again erupted in cheers, they all started chanting, 'Almight', with their fists up in the air.
I smiled….
This man…. even in this form…..he can move billions of people in few words….
He is still the number one hero…..
I looked at Izuku, he started straight at the screen, he didn't smile like everyone, his eyes had determination in them. He clenched his fists…
What is going through his head?
Midoriya's POV
I looked at my phone, it says 7 PM. A huge breeze flew and my entire body tingled. I put on the hood, where is he?
He never shows up on time, huh?
"Young Midoriya", I heard Almight shout my name. I looked at him running towards me while waving one of his arms. He is happy to see me? I thought he would be angry at me.
PUNNNCCCCHHHHH
"What the heck old man", I had my hand on the cheek, I'm on the ground.
Even though your weak now, it still hurts.
"How many times do you have to get hurt to realize? You just returned from hospital and you go on a rescue mission with your classmates. What were you even thinking?", he kept going, I kinda expected this to happen. Hey….at least we had no causalities and we also escaped from the media. So, the police and everyone thinks that Almight is the one who saved Katsuki….
"Hmm…Almight, look at this", I showed him my arms, he widened in surprise and suddenly hugged me tight…
"I'm soo proud of you", his voice had a sincere tone to it, "I know I probably shouldn't be saying that but, what you children did really helped me, so…..thank you for that", I hugged him back….
At the very least nothing bad happened to us…
But I still had one glaring question in my mind
"Almight, did the villain die?", he released me from the hug.
"no you don't need to worry about him Young Midoriya, he is going to Tartarus, so rest assured", he finished off with a huge smile.
"what? Why?"
"huh? what are you saying Young Midoriya?", Almight had a confused look on his face.
"no all I'm saying is that there is a chance he might escape from the prison. I saw that he sent his successor through a portal. so even if we caught him, Shigaraki is probably gonna try to rescue him…."
"soo…. your saying that killing him would have been better?", his face had a serious expression.
"I mean…all I'm saying is that it's a huge risk involved. So…..", his face relaxed.
Sheesh…..I thought I could influence you but I was wrong…..my bad…
If it would have been me, I would have definitely killed him, without a second thought….
Ha…he thinks ideals alone can change the world….
Don't worry Almight, now I have the torch.
I'll take care of everything, please leave the rest to me.
Yaoyorozu's POV
After the Kamino incident, the school got a lot of stuff to handle. The media and press roasted the teachers and their inability to protect us.
The following three days were given off.
The most important….thing out of this is dorm accommodation. Yes, in order to keep students under close surveillance, UA is changing into a boarding school.
The moving into dorms wasn't as exciting and cool as everyone described…at least not for me. my bed doesn't even fit in the room. Then I had to order a smaller bed.
Then came the 'whose room is best?' competition. Everyone participated, except Bakugo and Izuku. Come to think of it, I couldn't find him anywhere. Where did he go?
Winner of the competition is Sato he made cake for us and we all voted for him, it's simple as that…..
Then we all sat down for dinner, Bakugo came out of his room and started eating with us. But Izuku is nowhere to be found.
"Hey Momo where is Izuku?", Ocha asked with concern. Because we didn't see him after yesterday. We didn't even see him move into the dorms.
"I don't know….he is not picking up his phone", I said looking at my phone on the other hand.
"well…he must be depressed after seeing Almight in that form, I guess", Ocha replied with a smile.
Yeah she does have a point…. he is a big Almight fan….but it's weird seeing him depressed like this…
I don't know….it doesn't suit his character…
After that we started heading to our rooms, we girls decided to relax for some time in the lobby we have in the girls' s wing. Ashido is the one who insisted on doing that….so we all kinda went with it….
"we keep working soo hard everyday", Ashido exclaimed as she leaned on Kyouka to her side
"that's what this school is known for", Tooru interjected, "moreover we got our license exams in a week…..that's soo unfair", she whined as well.
Yes apparently we students were given the task of developing 'Ultimate special moves' by ourselves before the school reopens, for which just two days is left….
That's UA for you, never giving us time to breathe…..
"Uraraka how is your special moves coming along", Kyouka enquired
"well…..it's a good move, not to mention useful. But I need a little more practice… I guess", she rubbed her neck in a sheepish way.
They all kept asking each other how well their special moves are coming out?
I started losing interest in the conversation…..i don't know…maybe its because I'm taking this lightly.
The past couple of weeks have been…..eventful. we got attacked by villains in our camping trip and then some of us including me tried to rescue Bakugo on our own. Then got yelled at by our teachers. Since none of us got hurt, we very left with only warnings.
Then now, the dorms…I don't know what to feel about it. I have never lived away from my home. I hope it'll be good.
Someone poked me in the shoulder, I raised my head to see
"huh…..Momo are you okay? I have been calling for few minutes now", Ocha asked in concerned voice.
"see I told you….she lost interest….hummm…..let's see how about boys?", Ashido asked with her cheeky grin plastered on her face.
"I know you were planning for this from the beginning", Kyouka said in a nonchalant voice.
"come-on don't be like that", Tooru nudged her in the ribs, "let's talk about boys! Let's take about boys"
"how about we talk about something else?", Ocha said with her fore finger pointing up.
"no no Ochaco chan it'll be interesting and a change of pace", Asui replied.
"okay now that's settled how about the hottest guy in class?", Ashido asked in delight.
"everyone must say a name and girls no teasing", she waved her had but she is definitely teasing, isn't she?
"hum here I go first Todoroki", Tooru was the first to admit.
"hhuuuhhh, but I like Todoroki too", Ashido joined in, "he is looks soo cool when he looks out of window during class"
"hey you like Kirishima, you don't get to like two guys", Kyouka joined the conversation.
"come on what wrong with being attracted to two guys and I'm single I'm not dating anyone", Ashido huffed and folded her arms.
"Liar", Asui said in a monotone voice.
"come Tsu not you too", Ashido shook her hands violently in denial, "moving on"
"pussy", Tooru whispered.
"HEY!", Ashido protested, she then composed herself with a cough, "now Jirou it's your turn".
"what me? no way I'm not telling you guys".
"oh come on tell us", Both Ashido and Mina pestered her"
"aahhhhh jeez, fine i…. think…..kami….in….ari", she is hiding her blush on her face.
"huh kaminari ….i guess he is cute too, but he looks like a goon when he goes on pervert rampage with Mineta….but nice choice Jirou", Ashido's comment made Jirou blush like crazy.
"well….i think Todoroki is cool looking", Ocha said with little to no embarrassment unlike others.
"ha…straight forward I like it", Tooru complemented her. that's not surprising, she is into girls. So she is just analyzing based on their looks and attitude.
"well…..i think Ojirou is hot too. Next is you Tsu", Tooru said brimming with confidence.
"I think Tokoyami is cool", she tilted her head, in confusion.
"what about you Yaoyorozu?", Ashido asked. Everyone turned their attention on me. oh god…how did it come to this?
"I don't know…..maybe Izuku I guess", when I finished, everyone just started none of them uttering a word, "what?"
"you got to be kidding me?", Ashido broke the silence first.
"Really Midoriya?", Tooru joined in as well.
"hey hey don't act rude", Jirou intervened, "she gets to have her own opinions"
"yeah…", Ocha joined as well.
"hey hey no offense, I mean…Izuku he is…..well….he is just plain looking", Ashido said with a serious face.
"also, he stutters a lot and never sees eye to eye", it was Tooru.
"he is a introvert ribbit, what did you expect?", Asui said with a finger on her lips.
"it's really surprising you know, I mean…..look at you, you are beautiful, rich and intelligent, but you like Midoriya. No offense, it's like he doesn't have any characteristic that defines him. Even during our hot spring trip, he didn't interact with us that much. How do I say this?...humm…..he never shows his true colors?", Ashido had a confused look on her face.
"Duh, that's what a introvert is", Kyouka replied.
"I know right? Like I have no idea what he is thinking? He is the only person in the class who I have no idea about? like his past and stuff", Tooru wiggled her hands.
"now that you mention it, yeah he never really takes about himself", Ocha joined the conversation.
I can't blame them. Izuku is a reserved person. He never shows his emotions. But when he fights his true colors comes out, though not entirely. But from time to time, I saw little glimpses of his true self, like when I proposed to him in that trip. He cried, during that time he was so fragile and vulnerable, his hands were shaking and I could feel his heart beat fasten. As fast as it came, he quickly recovered.
Well…these guys have no idea of that….so…. they aren't necessary wrong from their point of view.
"he is not necessarily a bad person…. he is…. just…...shy", I started but I stammered, will they understand what I am trying to say? Will they even change their view on him just because I told them?
"what? No no we are not telling he is a bad guy, we are just saying that he needs to open up more…...and interact with us…see we are all in the same class and we have to stick together. After we graduate, I wish all of us to be friends just like now", Ashido replied.
I just smiled…
Midoriya's POV
I looked around the city, from the terrace of our dorms. It's quite a view. I have decided this will be my spot till I graduate. I slowly laid on the ground and used my hands as a pillow. I looked at the stars. Man...not matter what I try I can't distract myself…. Almight is gone now…the society is gonna crumble any moment now….
I have One for all within me, but I'm not ready yet…
I have to work even harder than I do now? I don't think I'll be able to pull that off…
After I entered this school I barely sleep. I think I might have insomnia. Now I have to increase my work…?
My phone started to ring again…..i put it in silent but this is the tenth call. I sighed and picked up the phone in defeat.
It's Momo, what does she want?
"Hmmmm…..hello?"
"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU-", I moved the phone away from my ear, cuz I don't wanna get deaf
"fine fine I'm sorry, I'll come down in a minute"
"now, where are you?"
"in the terrace'
"what? This dorm has a terrace? Stay there I'll be there in a minute. If you run off, I'll fucking kill you", she hung up. There goes my secret hiding place. I sighed heavily, why is this girl so concerned about me? my stomach growled, I placed my hand over it.
Everyone probably has eaten all the food. Well…. I'll pick up some food in the nearby store….
After a couple of seconds, a head popped into my view. She had a pissed off look. I immediately sat up; I turned my head towards her. I thought of apologizing again, but I stopped when I saw the bento box in her hand. she took a seat beside me…..
"soo…. this is your secret spot huh?", she asked while gazing off in the distance.
"hummm…. yes…...", I don't know what to say?
"here", she handed me the bento box with chopsticks, I just looked at her in confusion, "what? You haven't eaten, have you? I saved some for you".
Yaoyorozu's POV
why is he starring at me like that?
Did I do something wrong?
"soo…are you gonna eat or what?", he took the bento from my hand and began eating it with his chopsticks. He gaze remained fixated on the food. His face had a serious expression, like he is thinking about something?
"is it Almight?", he stopped and looked at me.
"What about him?"
"you know being depressed about him getting weak and stuff", I know how big of a fan you are. Stop acting tough..
"well…...i mean, he gotta retire sometime right? He can't just keep on being number one", he shot me a meaningful look. Huuuh, that's a very mature answer, I wasn't expecting that.
He then returned to eating his food. He must be hungry huh? I looked around; this place is nice. I looked at him again…..its been couple of weeks, but I learned a lot about both him and Ocha. They are really different people than what I initially thought they were.
Right now, I fully understand Ocha and where she is coming from. But Izuku I know little to nothing about him.
Social interaction is new to me as well, but I can clearly see that he acts very differently from rest.
"you know…. we had girl talk. Everyone says you never truly express yourself", as soon as I said that he stopped midway for a second, his gaze still on the food, then continued on.
"what? Say something", he kept eating, then he finished. He handed over the bento box and chopsticks.
"thanks", he began to stand up. I grabbed the hem of his shirt.
"wait, stop ignoring my question"
"what? I don't care what they think about me, there got it", I pulled him down with force this time, he stumbled on his butt.
"why are you like this? Try to socialize more okay?", jeez I'm like his mom or something…..
"it's not my fault", he replied with irritation in his tone.
"you know I was a kid, my parents never let me out, they were very protective of me. because of that I was home schooled until I was 11. So…..i had no interaction with the outside world. My big brother, while having a similar upbringing, he went to a normal middle school. My parents said I would be going to middle school as well. But you know what….at first I was happy then I got…..scared. it's like every time I go to the classroom, it feels like everyone stars at me or something. Then I quit, and….I was home schooled again. I was angry at my incompetence and stopped talking with everyone around. Then one day, my brother returned home. He talked to me and explain all sorts stuffs he did with his friends. It made me jealous….i wanted to do stuff like that too. I wanted friends too…..so I changed my goal to make friends. This helped me a lot", I completed and looked at him.
"why are you telling me this?", he had the serious look.
"well….i want you to understand the importance of making friends...i mean when a girl who is sheltered for 11 years can do it, then so can you. Also, I wanna make sure that I'm here for you", I blushed at the last statement. I know it sounded weird but it got the point across so I got no complains. I shook my head and looked at him. He gazed at the distant city. His pupils are green but they have no shine to them.
His lips formed a gentle smile, it was a smile of an angel.
"Momo…you're lucky. Life isn't always forgiving and caring like your case", then he formed a scowl, "it's cruel, unforgiving and sadistic."
"you…..know…..you can tell me about it…", I know I'm pressing his buttons. But he can't be dumping his feelings inside him.
"Momo….be honest with me…. why are you obsessed with me, making friends", he still had the scowl.
"do you wanna know the truth….", he nodded, "well…..you looked lonely and you have this sad expression on you…..every now and then I see you eyeing our classmates in group during lunch….you also never talk with anyone unless and until they start the conversation first. And finally, you never look eye to eye"
"stop it", he closed his eyes. Oh shit...he is gonna lash out. I should have been careful in speaking my mind.
"you know what? You are the first and probably the only person I have known to notice this much about me. even my mom has no idea about it", his face had no expression, I can't tell what he is thinking.
"I have been told I'm a keen observer", I smirked.
"when I was four, I was dragonized quirkless"
"WHAT?", this can't seriously be possible right? He is just bluffing.
"it's true…I even have my medical records, I'll show it to you later", I nodded for him to continue.
"my dad he had a huge fight with my mom, that because of her and her genes. The fight ended in a divorce…", I saw his eyes he had no emotions.
"my family were really poor, so me being quirkless is a burden to them. My mom she raised me by doing several part-time jobs. Because of her, I was able to go to a good school. Since I'm quirkless, I was bullied non stop by everyone, my teachers and classmates. But…you know….what….since she had to do soo much for me, I didn't want to give trouble to her, so I endured it…all", his voice quivered. His lips curled to control his emotions.
I reached out and held one of his hand….
"the situation didn't seem to get any better, it becoming worse day by day. My mom started getting obese from eating to cope up with her depression. But….once I entered middle school….my relationship with mom began to change. She lashed out more often and came home very late. Sometimes she even refused to make me any food. She started mistreating me. it's not long before it turned into abuse"
I closed my mouth, I gasped, "did you inform the authorities?"
"no, because of working too much, she had a lot of stress. I was probably her out. She would vent out all her anger at me, how because of me she lost her husband and her job. If I had retaliated, she would have broken. So I endured it….all…"
I rushed and hugged him slightly. He had to endure Sooo much, it's just too unfair…
"as cruel as fate can be, I received my quirk at age 15, surprise I'm a late bloomer", he broke my hug and forced a smile.
"but…. it's too late…. the damage has already been done. My childhood was destroyed.
When you're at the bottom far too long, you can see the complete picture…."
What the heck was that supposed to mean? He then remained silent, that's all I could get out of him huh? well…. that's more than enough. I can now at least see a part of his true self.
He still got a lot of explaining to do. He probably didn't tell the full story yet. But that's okay….he can take all the time he need…..i shifted my gaze to the night sky.
"thanks for telling me", he turned his head to look at me.
"yeah…hmmm…", he trailed off.
"whenever you want to talk, I'm there for you", I smiled at him, a genuine smile. I feel like I'm getting to know him better. It might take some time but its alright. I'll wait…for him…
"thanks…..", he murmured under his breathe. It was halfhearted, but hey no one can change in a single day, right? Now I have a better understanding of his problems. So I might as well help him out…
I stood up, he flinched a little but kept his gaze on the sky. I moved to his side, I bent down and kissed him on the cheek.
"my offer is still on", I smiled at him teasingly and walked off. He became a blushing mess.
Midoriya's POV
I got off the bus, at last we arrived at the venue for the provisional license exam. I'm fairly confident in my shoot style, so this must be a piece of cake.
Well at least that's what Almight said.
"nervous?", Momo appeared beside me.
"not really"
"but your face tells a different story", it was Ochaco.
"don't even try it, you are bad at reading people's face", I smirked, she playfully hit me.
Then our class is assembled in a huge hall. We were greeting by one of the worst hosts I have ever seen; he was tired and depressed. He must have been over working.
Rules of the first test is simple, score three points while avoiding getting hit by others.
I decided to act alone. Even though moving in group is more effective, I don't wanna put up with those guys. Momo and Ochaco tried to convince me but I declined and started to run off. I waved at them. Rest of my classmates had a pissed off look on their faces.
What? You bastards are not getting any help from me.
I sent full cowling through my body and started to run at a faster speed, I must first reach a place where there are less competitors. Also, I need some time to strategize.
I kept running and running, several names of candidates who passed were announced.
Lucky bastards….
I wonder what Momo and Ochaco are doing…..
Momo
"My offer is still on"
God its embarrassing, when did she become soo bold…
I stopped on my tracks and I looked around. Let's see I have to hit three targets, but those targets don't need to belong to one person. The moment I hit one of their targets they get vigilant. That would make the next attack difficult. The best course of action is to attack one target of three different people. but I have to do it effectively. I need to hit three targets to pass but I just don't intent on passing. I want to come out on top…
Suddenly, someone leaped off my shoulders from behind. Simultaneously hitting one of my targets.
Shit…I moved and turned around to look at my enemy. It was a girl with caramel hair. She wore a tight black body suit. She is taller than me, she must be a second or third year.
"haa…..look at you, such a cool looking hero", she said in a teasing tone. I remained quiet, talking to her would be pointless, besides what if her quirk is similar to that of Shinso in sports festival. I'm not taking any risks right now.
She took a rock from the ground and threw at me, I dodged it and leapt to my side, on the while picked up a rock, I looked up. But she was nowhere to be found.
Shit…..is her quirk invisibility?
At that instant I felt someone approaching me from behind, but before I could turn, I was pushed against the ground with my arm folded behind my back.
The girl pressed her body against mine, she brought her mouth close to my ear. I could feel her breathe.
"you think my quirk is invisibility? Wrong….i was just hiding", what she is hiding?
"it's a skill I picked up, do you like it?", she sounded psychotic.
"oh, we both want to know about each other. My turn, why do you want to become a hero? For honor? Pride? For someone else's sake?
I want to know more about you", that's it I had enough, I pushed her back. She immediately took her stance. I turned around but at that instant the ground shook violently. I looked around; I was surrounded.
Shit, because of this bitch I'm screwed. This is the worst-case scenario.
I activated one for all and started dodging the balls. Every time I barely escaped. then suddenly Momo came into my view. She was standing on a small cliff. She put her hand out.
"Midoriya catch my hand", she shouted. Idiot, you're gonna get attacked. As I predicted, one of the candidates fired off his arm towards her. Momo then tripped over her own foot.
What the heck?
I launched myself towards her. just before she could fall I caught her by the waist. I landed and launched a round bout kick. Due to my modified boot souls, I can produce shock waves. It was designed by Hatsume. The shock waves destroyed the nearby ground surfaces resulting in more land slides. I used this opportunity to escape carrying Momo bridal style.
I reached a huge rock and hid behind it. I laid down Momo and checked for injuries, surprisingly there weren't a single one.
I poked my head out, I inspected the surrounding. them seems to be no one. Then I felt something odd, the surrounding was dead silent. But something bothered me more, the way Momo acted. She called me Midoriya…well….it could be on impulse.
"Thanks for the help. I messed up, sorry", she smiled sheepishly.
"its alright, at the very least we both escaped unharmed", I replied without turning back. Then she went silent, then suddenly I noticed her shadow move towards me. I immediately reacted by swinging my arm around the back. My hunch was right, she was trying to hit my target. I leaped backwards.
"let me guess, creepy girl from before", after I replied, her entire body turned into white gue like substance.
"how did you figure it out?"
"you're not good at this, I had my doubt the moment you tried to save me. Firstly you have no idea what Momo's quirk is, because Momo is capable of saving me from a distance and yet you just lend a hand. secondly Momo never do stuff alone, her quirk is not suitable for direct one on one fights. She knows that better than anyone else. Finally, she calls me Izuku and not MIdoriya"
"you knew all that and yet you remained silent. Why? Are you planning on using me?", her face appeared and she had a smile.
"now that cats out of the bag, I can't do that anymore", I replied immediately.
"ha haha hahaha", she laughed, "and…. you call yourself a hero….?", she had a amused expression.
"I'll do whatever it takes to win, even if it means using you. End always justifies the means", I took my fighting stance.
"ha….i like you….i like you a lot…basically you're a hero with villain's mindset…..i want that…", her entire body came into view but naked, "I want you", once she finished, she lunged forward. I moved back to dodge, but she graced me with her nails.
What the fuck is up with this bitch?
I fell on the ground willingly and judo flipped her. I immediately turned around and launched myself at her and pinned her to the ground with her hands above her head.
"game over Honey", I tightened my grip.
"hhaaaa…..quiet violent, but I love it", she brought her head up close to mine and smiled.
this is getting nowhere. She doesn't even have the targets on her. I shouldn't be wasting my time on her. suddenly a grappling hook flew past between our face. I jumped back on reflex. I turned to my side to see Momo, few feet away.
"Ocha now", she yelled. Upon her que, Ochaco leaped off towards the crazy girl. Just before she could touch her, the crazy girl, she back flipped and sat on the huge rock behind her.
She had a disappointing expression on her face.
"ha….i wanna spend more time with you. But….sadly our date is gonna come to an end", I just raised my hand towards her. she wasted too much of my time. She has to pay…. I formed a flick gesture. Her eyes widened.
"oh…you gonna fuck me over, aren't you? you give zero fucks about Heroism, huh?", she had a hysterical smile plastered on her face.
"Momo Yaoyorozu…a word of advice…be careful of this guy, he is not what he seems….", then she turned around to run. Ochaco and Momo started to chase, "come back ", but I blocked their way.
"she has no targets on her, it would be pointless to chase after her", they listened surprisingly.
"soo…why is she naked?", Ochaco asked. Why are you worried about that now?
"apparently her quirk let her transform into other people, but she has to remove her clothes it seems. Just before you guys came, she turned into Momo to fool me. well…..i kinda got wind of it and escaped barely", for some reason Ochaco and Momo both blushed.
What did I say something wrong?
Ochaco hurried up to me and grabbed my collar, shook me violently, "was she naked then too Midoriya"
"is that what concerns you, of course she had her clothes on", I said in between.
we three then decided to move as a team. Frankly it would be beneficial for me. I formulated a strategy, we three reached the top of a building. I looked down there, there were lot of students fighting against one another. I asked Momo to make a megaphone. I asked both of them to move back a little.
I faced the megaphone towards the ground, "YO BASTARDS, STOP FIGHTING LIKE A LITTLE GIRLS AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN". I moved the mega phone away from my mouth.
"there that should do it", I talked to myself.
"why did you do that?", Momo asked in concern.
"just wait and watch", I assured them, I moved to the edge of the roof. I sent one for all through my left arm.
In the sport festival, I used one for all to slash around Todoroki's hand. my arm didn't break that time. I was able to control the air. So if I do that with a entire arm, the air pressure I create should be large enough for the task at hand.
I raised my hand above my shoulders and brought it down, making a slash through the air. The wind I created enveloped the crowd under the building. This caused the balls they have in their hands to randomly hit everyone in that area.
"now Ochaco make all of us float, Momo make a grappling hook", Ochaco grabbed Momo from behind, I grabbed her waist with my right arm. We three began to float and Momo shot a grappling hook into the nearby building.
We three then began to move through the air. I looked at my arm, I felt a sharp pain. I need to practice this technique more. It is really nice move. I have to perfect it after this exam.
We three reached the end gate. There were lots of students there Apparently Momo and Ochaco scored several points before they met me. working in teams does have its perks. But it doesn't suit me.
There were seats for everyone to sit. We three sat down. I took a bandage roll from my utility belt. I removed my glows and rolled up my left sleeve. I tried to wrap the bandage around, but I'm doing a piss poor job of it.
"here let me", Momo grabbed the bandage from me and placed the hand on her lap. She began to rolled the bandage around the arm.
"thank you"
"save it. what did I say about getting hurt again?", she said in irritated tone.
"I kinda lost control…sorry", I said sheepishly.
"ooh…..look, what I found", i turned my head towards the sound, it was the crazy girl from before, she is standing before me. I narrowed my eyes.
"oh easy their tiger, I not here to fight, I wanna get to know you better…..I'm Cannie Utsume by the way", she held out her hand to shake. Well no harm in shaking a hand, right? I moved my right hand, but before I could shake the hand. I felt a sharp pain on my left arm, I turned my head towards Momo, she is tightening the bandage…. on purpose?
"ah…nice to meet you", I retrieved my hand, I don't wanna break my left arm yet. She gave a disappointed sigh. She bent down and pecked my cheek and started walking off, she then turned around and blew me a kiss.
Suddenly I felt a dark aura to me side, I felt a tingle on my spine. I turned to my left, to see Momo glaring at me with dead shot eyes. I gulped, maybe I should just wrap the bandages myself.
Uraraka's POV
The second phase of the exam began, it a rescue mission. There are people in several places of the arena. We three along with the rest of the class stood on the cliff. We all decided to work together, so we all are trying to formulate a plan. Everyone was talking to one other, except one.
Izuku Midoriya, he stood silent, he had a pissed off look on his face.
"Yo Midoriya you in", Kirishima put his arm over his shoulder, "if we follow Bakugo's plan, we can save a lot of people. with you in our team, we would be a power house. So what do you say?"
"i just have to act like I save people, right? I can do that", he replied with no expression on his face.
"what? Act? No we have to save people", Bakugo interjected. I have a bad feeling about this.
"look…..during the introduction to the second phase, the announcer said we have to try to save people. they never mentioned we have to succeed in it. so we just have to act like we are trying hard….that's all", he completed with as smug look on his face.
There he has done it now.
"you disgust me", Bakugo had venom in his voice.
"the feeling is mutual", Midoriya replied. They both brought their faces close to each other, are they gonna fight in the middle of the test.
"hey hey stop it", Kirishima butted in, he tried to separate Bakugo, while Momo pushed Midoriya back.
Even after separated they kept starring at each other.
Suddenly a child's scream could be heard, we all stopped talking and listened. Midoriya moved quick and found a kid near a rubble, he lifted the kid in his arm. He had a huge grin on his face.
"everything is gonna be okay, you know why because I'm here", the child didn't stop crying, he began to run towards the rescue area, with the kid in his arms.
"AAhhhhh…I fucking hate him", it was Bakugo, not only him rest of the class had a disgusted look on their face, except Momo who just sighed in defeat.
Only me and Momo huh?
I turned to look at him, he was running towards the refuge area. Despite his rotten personality and amoral thinking, he still tries his best to come out on top every time.
Despite what everyone thinks of him, I have huge respect for his desire to always win. Even though he had a terrible setback, he worked hard and became one of the top students of our class.
He works really hard, but look at me, in front of his efforts, mine looks half assed.
I know that he loves Momo as much as I do. He is basically my rival. But I can clearly see his strengths. He puts logic before his emotions.
Well….i can do the same…
I'll put my feeling away for the time being…
I turned around and began running….i can do this…
You got this Uravity
Todoroki's POV
Everything is going to shit.
I thought I got this, but because of this idiot Inasa, I'm gonna fail.
Gang Orca's quirk is too powerful. i have to do something even if I'm paralyzed.
I started my fire and send it towards Gang Orca. Inasa in distance saw this and started to use is quirk as well. Both my fire and his wind combined to form a fire tornado around us with Gang Orca.
I increased my fire, the temperature in the area increased drastically. After few minutes both of us wormed out and the tornado dispersed into the air.
Gang Orca emerged out of the smoke, unaffected.
"that was a nice combo. But it simply wasn't good enough", it wasn't good enough?
I did everything I could but…I wasn't good enough?
Suddenly a green lightening came into my vision, it was Midoriya. He attacked Gang Orca with a flying kick. The kick was a powerful one, it pushed Gang Orca a few meters back. Midoriya then leaped back a few feet. The arm bracelet Gang Orca had cracked. Midoriya's kick must have broken it.
When did he become soo strong?
HHHOOOOONNNNNNKKKKKKKK
the exam came to an end. Gang Orca released us. I stood up I rubbed my wrist. I'm disappointed, I should have concentrated on the exam rather than involving myself with minor squabble.
Yaoyorozu's POV
The Provisional license exam finally came to an end. The results were rather disappointing. Well…I passed but Izuku beat us all and came out on top. Moreover, he is in the country's top ten. Meanwhile I'm in the hundreds.
Aaaaarrrrggghhh i hate this. I couldn't even come close to him.
Almost everyone passed except Bakugo and Todoroki. I known it came as a surprise to all of us. Two of our top students failed their exam. they both had a earful from Aizawa.
Todoroki is his usual self. He is taking his lose rather well. But Bakugo didn't come out of his room. He must have had it rough huh?
We all started eating our dinner. Since its girls turn today, we are cleaning the kitchen and washing the dishes. Almost all of the boys went upstairs to celebrate, except Izuku and Todoroki, who are currently laying on the couch in the lobby.
"what is up with those two?", Ocha whispered into my ear, I looked at them. They both are clearly eyeing each other without the other noticing. I sighed.
"they are trying to communicate? I have no idea. They both have little to no social skills", I rubbed my temple.
Midoriya's POV
This is going nowhere. Stop starring and talk something. Or just leave me alone. Wait then I would be alone with the girls. I don't want that.
Suddenly Bakugo came through the elevator, he had his hand in his pocket. He walked ignoring Asui asking him if he wants dinner or not, he came straight towards me and passed me. but at that instant
"come to ground gamma, if you don't want your secret to get out", he then walked through the exit. Since me and Todoroki sat across each other, only I could hear it.
What does he mean by secret?
Is he bluffing?
I better go. I stood up and made my way to ground gamma. We aren't supposed to be here without authorization. This better be quick. When I arrived there he was standing in the middle of the road.
I stood a few feet away from him.
"what do you want Katsuki?"
"I have a question; how did you get your quirk? Tell me the truth", he pisses me off.
"what if I don't? you gonna beat me up?"
"I'll do it if I have to", there it is my que
"I won't be your punching bag anymore Kacchan", I gave him a teasing smirk. His eyes narrowed. I brought my hands forward and took my fighting stance.
Let's settle this once and for all…
