Denki Stared up at Yoshihara with a concerned look in his eyes. He had just witnessed that cat-like humanoid thing blow up the side of Kyoka's face, and Yoshihara seemed not phased in the slightest. It was unnerving, and it freaked him out if his expression wasn't showing that clearly enough. However, he wasn't given a single second to process that, as he was assaulted by Yoshihara's humanoid cat the moment she finished her sentence.

Dodging to the left, he quickly got up on his feet. His eyes drifted to Kyoka's unconscious body lying in the rubble left behind by the two massive skull-faced tanks. He rushed over to her side and tried lifting her by her arm; however, she was too heavy for him to do so; and Yoshihara was closing in on him. Extending his index finger, he shot out a bolt of electricity at the blond to make her stop charging at him. This worked in his favour, forcing her to dodge, which gave him enough time to run to the stairway, which led to the third floor of the building and his team's objective.

As he passed Yoshihara, the cat-like humanoid tried to grab him; however, he used his quirk to shock the cat as it grabbed onto his hand. "Suck on that furball!" Denki taunted as he smirked, looking at the staircase with reignited vigour. His eyes were locked onto his target, so locked on that he hadn't noticed the bubbles rising from the first step of the staircase until it was too late.

The bubbles blew up, destroying his only exit. He was now stuck in the room with Yoshihara and her Stand, which he didn't know the name of. He knew that Stands had names, since Kujo-sensei called his Stand [Star Platinum: The World], so hers had to have a name following that logic.

Yoshihara stared down at the opposing blond with a sneer. She had to admit; she was being rather cold-hearted towards her classmate. However, he was currently her opponent, meaning she wasn't going to hold back for any reason. She had to view this as if he were out to arrest her, so she had to act like a villain. So far, she would have to say she was doing a pretty good job at it.

She could feel *his* presence, her father was watching her. It was annoying, sure, and he would have comments of his own after this, and since there was no getting rid of him, she would have to put up with him. "What are you going to do now, Hero? Are you going to fight me, or will you surrender? If you do…" She had [Killer Queen] walk over to Kyoka and grab her by the back of her neck. "… I'll spare her." She then had [Killer Queen] dangle her from the massive hole in the wall.

The rest of the students who were watching widened their eyes in panic. However, unlike the students, All Might wasn't worried. He knew about the safety net that Yaoyorozu had created there before the match started. That didn't mean he liked the idea of Yoshihara potentially dropping one of his students from a 20-foot drop, but at least he knew that if she did, his student would be safe, relatively speaking.

However, Denki didn't know about the safety measure put in place, and he was currently freaking out. "Y-You wouldn't dare!" He shouted as Yoshihara smirked at him, lowering her gaze in his direction. That alone was enough to make him wince. Those eyes showed no hint of remorse or compassion. She was doing a damned good job of acting like a villain, and for a second, he genuinely believed he was fighting a real one.

"Do you really think that I'm not capable of it? I mean, my partner and I did rig this building to blow up in 10 minutes, with the knowledge of others living their lives in the city. What's another life to me?" Yoshihara said, tilting her head to the side as Denki winced. He was beginning to believe that she was being serious, and even though she really wasn't, Denki didn't know whether to trust that underlying instinct and attack her.

Despite this, he was still charging up his electricity to blast her with the special move he came up with at a young age. His 100,000,000-volt charge. It wasn't really that much, more or less 100,000 volts, but it sounded cooler to him when he was younger.

"So… will you give up? Let your partner live, or you be an idiot and attack me, and I drop her to her certain death." Yoshihara said as [Killer Queen] increased its grip on the unconscious Kyoka's neck. That's when Denki decided to enact his plan.

"Fine… I'll give, but before I do, could you help me with something?" Denki asked as Yoshihara tilted her head just ever so slightly to the right in confusion. It wasn't often that someone asked her for help, and even if she shouldn't, it'd be interesting to hear how he pulled something off.

"Depends on what that is, Hero," Yoshihara said as Denki flashed a smirk at the blond. Electricity began to spark around his whole body as he arched himself in a position to fire it off.

"I want to see just how fast… CAT'S CAN FRY!" Denki shouted at the top of his lungs as he hurled his attack at the now dazed and confused Yoshihara, who was hit with the attack first, before it spread to [Killer Queen], who's arm jerked forward when it let go of Kyoka.

Thankfully, Denki didn't use enough electricity to make himself enter his retarded state, only enough to stun Yoshihara and put her out of commission for the rest of the fight. He took this chance to run up to Kyoka and lift her arm onto his shoulder, then proceeded to lift her up to her feet and walked her to the staircase that had been almost blown up.

Putting Kyoka up on one of the non-blown up stairs first, Denki lifted himself up onto the staircase and brought Kyoka up with him, allowing the pair to both get up to the next floor. Slowly, Kyoka was starting to come back from her unconscious state. "K-Kaminari?" The purplette questioned as Denki smirked.

"You bet! Now hang tight while I win this for us." The blond said as Kyoka smiled faintly at the boy before closing her eyes. Yaoyorozu looked at Denki in disbelief. Yoshihara said that they wouldn't get past her, yet here they were. Kyoka was out of commission, but Kaminari wasn't.

"Now, I'll give you the same option that bubble bomb said down there to me, just without the dangling someone out of a hole trick, will ya give up, or will ya fight?" Denki asked in a semi-cocky tone of voice as Yaoyorozu looked at him questioningly. She wanted to win this for her team, so backing down wouldn't be wise. Creating a shield and baton, she glared at Kaminari with a confident look in her eyes.

"I'm not backing down to you… Hero." Yaoyorozu said as the speakers came on.

"5 MINUTES UNTIL THE BATTLE ENDS!" All Might's booming voice echoed throughout training ground beta. Denki and Yaoyorozu stared each other down as the blond was the first to make their move. Charging some of his electricity into his right hand, he shot it out of his middle and index finger right at the ravenette, who blocked it with her shield.

The shield was made out of hardened plastic, making the blast of electricity not affect her as much as it normally would have. Keeping her shield up, she brought her metal baton to her side and readied it to take Denki down; however, the blond already had an idea for what it was he was going to do. He charged the electricity into his left hand. As the baton came crashing towards him, he swiftly grabbed it and poured his quirk into the metal, causing it to go straight to Yaoyorozu, electrocuting her into unconsciousness. Had the baton not have been made of metal, his plan wouldn't have worked, but since steel is a great conductor for electricity, he was able to knock Yaoyorozu unconscious. The blond stood victorious, however, in his stupid form.

"THE WINNER IS TEAM G, THE HEROES WIN!" All Might boomed from the speaker as Kyoka smiled gently to herself. She was surprised, to put it lightly. The electric idiot of class 1-A had won against a Stand user and Yaoyorozu; she had to give him some credit and say that it was impressive.

After a few minutes, Yoshihara woke up from her electrified stupor. She was annoyed that she lost in a battle, but she was impressed at Kaminari's fighting skills. Her classmates weren't all pushovers like Bakugo was, so that was refreshing to know. A hand was gestured in front of her face, the hand of Josuke.

"Higashikata-kun?" Yoshihara asked as Josuke smirked. Yoshihara took his hand as he lifted her from the ground. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, All Might asked me to repair the building since [Crazy Diamond] restores objects to their original state of being. You were still in here unconscious, so I thought to come to get you. You've been out for 5 minutes. Your team lost, by the way." Josuke said as Yoshihara frowned. Her plan had failed. Unfortunately, but that was to be expected, not every plan she makes is a good one, and even though most of them worked out for her, this one didn't.

"Well, there's no point being here; let's go," Yoshihara said as the pompadoured teen halted her. [Crazy Diamond] appeared and touched her shoulder before a sense of rejuvenation filled her body. The feeling came from [Crazy Diamond]'s restoration ability, and despite feeling it before, that didn't mean that it didn't feel good.

"Thanks, Higashikata-kun." Yoshihara said before shivering a bit. She had a chill go down her spine as Josuke stared at her with cold eyes.

"The way you acted in that mock battle reminded me of Yoshikage and how he was willing to kill anyone who stood in his way. I know you were acting, but it got me worried a little bit. Please tell me you weren't actually going to drop her out of that hole in the wall?" Josuke asked, concern in his tone, as Yoshihara looked back at him with an annoyed look.

"I would've, but that was because we had a safety net stationed just outside of that hole. It was 20 meters wide, so I think she would've been fine. Yaoyorozu even tested it herself, and she's heavier than Jirou. She would've been fine if I did." Yoshihara said as she walked past him. Josuke sighed. He was still wary of He and Yoshihara had all the right to be. However, she was telling the truth.

The whole summer that he spent fighting Stand users in Morioh-cho taught him that you could tell if they were lying by looking in someone's eyes. If someone were lying, they'd look slightly to the right or left when talking, but if they weren't, they'd look you dead in the eyes. She was looking him dead in the eyes, so he knew she wasn't lying. However, that didn't mean he wasn't off-put by how she acted during the mock battle.

As Yoshihara left the building and entered the reviewing room, she saw Yaoyorozu sitting by her lonesome, her expression showing that she was deep in thought. "Ah, Young, Kira. You made it. Please take a seat. The next teams are waiting to start their fights. But while they are, can I ask you a question?" All Might asked the blond as Yoshihara looked at him with a nod.

"Great! So, those purple tanks from the fight, Yaoyorozu said she didn't make them, was that perhaps a Stand?" All Might asked as Yoshihara sighed.

"Yeah, it's technically a part of my Stand, [Killer Queen]. Those tanks were called [Sheer Heart Attack], and they rely on someone's heat signature when they target someone. The hotter they are, the more willing they are to go after that person. If there are two people in the room, and one of them was hotter, the hotter person would be targeted first before the other. I can summon up to 8 at a time." Yoshihara said as All Might nodded.

"I must say, Stands are pretty versatile… Ok, that was all. WILL TEAM H AND TEAM I GET INTO POSITIONS! THE BATTLE IS ABOUT TO COMMENCE!" All Might boomed into the speaker as Yoshihara walked back to her class.

Bakugo was eyeing Yoshihara. The way she fought in that battle was… unique, and he would study it in case a fight broke out between them. The sports festival was coming up, and he had to be prepared for anything, including his cousin. He wouldn't let her stand in his way of excellence.

Josefumi stood idly along-side Ojiro, who was a bit concerned. The plan was… interesting. Josefumi's [Soft and Wet] stole things from objects its bubbles touched. He would be the floor on the upper level slippery, and Ojiro would have to capture the bomb afterward. It was a risky plan, one with a lot of setbacks, but it was a plan. "So, we agree to use this plan?" Josefumi asked as Ojiro nodded.

"I'm a bit worried about the whole friction thing, but I think we can work with it," Ojiro said as Josefumi nodded, his serious expression not changing in the slightest. Summoning [Soft and Wet], he entered the room with Ojiro, only to see a pink, fleshy tongue launch at Ojiro and grab him by the collar of his gi. Using his tail, he smacked the wall behind him to lessen the blow, but the force of it was enough to wind him.

The next thing Josefumi knew was that [Soft and Wet] was forced to block a kick coming his way. "Kero, This is the end of the line, heroes. I won't let you past this point." Tsuyu said as Josefumi grimaced. He narrowed his eyes as Tsuyu backed off from the Stand.

"So, you were set up here to block anyone's entrance of the building. Smart, for a villain." Josefumi said as [Soft and Wet] hurdled a punch Tsuyu's way, only to have her tongue grab it. Josefumi's eyebrow arched in confusion as then; his eyes went wide.

Tsuyu flung him into the wall behind him. The only reason why he didn't end up unconscious was thanks to [Soft and Wet] softening the blow by taking the brunt of the damage. Sure, it transferred to him, but not as much thanks to its persistence level. However, one thing he also noticed was that Tsuyu's tongue was still wrapped around [Soft and Wet]'s hand. The moment he noticed it, he smirked.

[Soft and Wet] raised its hand and forced it down, causing Tsuyu's tongue, and by extension, her head, to move down with it, slamming her into the floor. She retracted her tongue; however, she forgot to let go of [Soft and Wet] and Josefumi, meaning that while she was reeling in her tongue, she was also reeling in Josefumi, who had [Soft and Wet] get up close and personal with her.

[ORA!]

With one loud shout, [Soft and Wet] drove its fist into her gut, not puncturing any flesh but definitely breaking a rib or two. Tsuyu spat up a small amount of blood mixed with spit as she became winded. She stumbled back, shaking her head before coughing, wrapping her left arm around her gut. "That was… strong, Kero; I shouldn't underestimate you, Hero." Tsuyu said as she shot out her tongue again and wrapped it around [Soft and Wet]'s head.

"But you shouldn't underestimate me either!" Tsuyu shouted, slamming Josefumi into the ground; however, what Tsuyu wasn't accounting for, was Josefumi's [Soft and Wet] grabbing onto her tongue and bringing her down with him. Tsuyu stopped her attack mid-slam and retracted her tongue. However, as she was retracting her attack, a bubble came at her from the corner of her eye. It popped on her skin as her eyes began to shrivel up and fall out.

"M-My eyes!" She shouted as she blindly backed up into the wall behind her, tripping on a bit of rubble on the floor as Josefumi went in for the knockout. [Soft and Wet] reared a punch towards her, and with a loud war cry, [Soft and Wet]'s punch connected with Tsuyu's face, knocking her to the floor as her eyes returned.

"Shh… [Soft and Wet]," Josefumi said as his Stand disappeared. "One down… on both sides, one to go." Josefumi as he ran through the winding halls of the dilapidated building. He wasted 3 minutes with Tsuyu and he had 7 minutes to deal with Fumikage and get the bomb. As he ran, he paid attention to his surroundings. He didn't know if Fumikage was lurking around any corners or if he was on the third floor with the bomb.

Every round, the bomb was stationed on the third floor, most people usually keep it on the third floor, some move it to the second floor, but only a rare few bring it up to the fifth floor. As Josefumi ran up to the second floor; he continued to run around, trying to find Fumikage or the bomb, yet he couldn't find either of them. The second floor wasn't a bunch of winding halls, it was a big open area, and yet Fumikage was nowhere to be seen.

He ran up to the third floor, which was the same as the second, only there were now six support-beams to hide behind. Some were damaged, and some weren't. However, as he walked into the third floor, he was met with a right hook from a long, winding shadow. The hit connected to his cheek and knocked him into the closest support beam to his right as [Soft and Wet] again took the brunt of the blow.

"Welcome, hero. To your demise. You will fail right here, right now and fall into darkness." The deep sounding voice of Fumikage Tokoyami said as he sat in the middle of the room with his eyes closed and his head looking down at the floor. His beak was sharp, and when he snapped open his eyes, Josefumi could sense the seriousness oozing from his body.

The bird boy stood up as he flicked his cloak to the right, revealing his black bodysuit underneath. "En Garde," Fumikage said as Dark Shadow launched itself at Josefumi. [Soft and Wet] blocked the punch and returned one of its own at Dark Shadow. However, as it went to hit it, the space where [Soft and Wet] punched rushed out of the way and converged on the hand.

"Dark Shadow is my own; I control it freely, whereas your Stand is nothing more than a reflection of yourself that you control. So, which will be better, my Shadow or your reflection?" Fumikage said as he sneered. "My life filled quirk, or your husk of a Stand."
