Damn, that last chapter was much longer than I thought it would be, I don't know why but the notes I have planned for each chapter have really been giving me too much to work with. Like they're the same length as the ones I've always been using but for the last chapter, I didn't plan to go over 9K….and I head up going over 17K, I don't even know how. Anyway, we have a story to pick up on and yes, I skipped the rest of the internships as they either are unimportant to the story or they go down the same as cannon.
Chapter 33: Back to class
(Yoroi Musha Hero Agency – Then)
'The following day after our fight with Stain, the fifth day of our internships, I was allowed to leave the hospital and continue with said internships along with Todoroki. As his injuries had mostly healed, he had been cleared for active duty while I was confined helping around with the management of Yoroi Musha's agency.' Midoriya thought to himself as he sat by one of the management members' desks and assisted them with their duties, having been barred from any sort of training till his wounds fully healed.
'It wasn't too hard compared to the chewing out my parents gave me and the crushing tearful hug my mother gave me immediately after for making them worry but it wasn't too hard I could keep pace with most of the responsibilities of the job. More often than not, I found myself having conversations with some of the business course students who happened to be interning there as well.' He kept that line of thought as he recalled how…painful his mother's hug was, she didn't even care that Kendo, Tokoyami, and Todoroki were still in the room. She also took it upon herself to not only thank them for standing with me but also scold them for standing with me, it was confusing as Todoroki didn't look like he knew how to respond.
'Apparently, it was only the general studies students who didn't have some type of internship program, though we never interacted before this was something we couldn't tell.' That was one silver lining of this, he was ashamed to admit that if he wasn't hurt on the job, he would have never interacted if not known about the business course students present. They proved to be great to help around and unlike some of the general studies students, didn't harbor any sort of resentment towards the hero course.
He was quite popular among them as being a quirkless hero would mean big risk but even bigger rewards….from the marketing point of view anyway.
'This also served as a great distraction from all the news about Hosu and Stain as I couldn't even leave the building without something hounding me about it. The business course guys said that things will blow over when the next big news story hits, which left me with some comfort, still, Iida had been rather depressed when we were able to speak with him, being that the first thing he did was cry and apologize over and over for his reckless actions, no matter how much we assured him we didn't hold it against him.' He stood up and went to get a cup of water from the fountain as he thought to his meeting with Iida when the guy woke up and was cleared for visitors. Of course, they first waited for his parents to see him first which took about half an hour but they were able to talk about their issues.
'Around about the same day as myself and Todoroki, he was moved to a hospital closer to home so that a family doctor could keep an eye on him. He looked….better all things considered, telling us that would make not only recover but come out of this a better man, we gave him our good lucks and words of encouragement as he had his legal troubles to deal with before he could join us in the class once more.' He took out of the disposable cups and poured himself some water as he thought about how Iida looked when he left the hospital with his parents. He looked scared and ashamed of himself but he also looked determined, dead set on using this as a chance to improve.
'One good thing that came out of this was that Kendo, Todoroki and I grew closer due to our shared experience, going so far to exchange numbers so I took the liberty of adding the two of them to our group-chat, much to Uraraka joy at having another friend online and then creating a private one just for the four of us.' He fondly recalled that particular exchange as according to Kendo, she and Uraraka spent quite some time on the group chat just getting to know one another.
'It was on this chat that Todoroki explained that he was mainly interning under Burnin as Endeavour found himself swamped with work caused by the mess in Hosu, something I made sure to make fun of, or at least try as Shoto isn't very perceptive, all of my jokes going right over his head.' That part made him pout as he drank, as the guy seemingly had no social sense at all….He used almost everything he could to try and get a rise out of him outside of downright asking if he wanted to bone her and every time, he took the phasing and wording at face value and answered like it was a job interview. Kendo seemed to enjoy it as she kept on laughing every time he missed the real meaning behind my words, which in of itself was funny as Todoroki looked even more confused by her apparent joy.
'With my stuff returned, I was able to ship them back home so I could look them over once the internships were completed, which left Kodai to pick up the slack in training and patrols, something she made sure I knew displeased her whenever we were together, she would look just a little bit upset, which for her might as well been a glare.' That one he found funny as she was never one for expressing herself but when she did look upset, all he wanted to do was chuckle at it, he couldn't help it, she was just too cute sometimes. 'Either way, our internships soon drew to a close, with this being the last day before we returned to school.'
(Yoroi Musha Hero Agency – Now)
"It may have only been a week but we thank you for taking us under your wing." One of the business course students, thanked our mentors as we as a group stood outside the main entrance to the building. It was still early morning but we were set to return to school like any other working Monday.
"It was our pleasure, you kids proved to be worth the effort, taking in all that you're taught in zeal I don't see a lot in the youth." Rahzar replied as he stood alongside Yoroi and Mister X, with them were some of the management staff who were in charge of mentoring the business course students.
"It was rather entertaining having someone to train around, I hope you all would consider coming back for work studies." Mister X said as he looked towards Kodai, he would admit, she surprised him over their six days together, even taking Sunday, the day they were supposed to relax and rest to train in the gym.
"It's up to you brats to take what you learned and make good use of it in the field." Yoroi told them sternly, his demeanor as serious as ever as all the students nodded their heads and bowed to him in a sign of respect and gratitude.
"Yes sir, thank you sir." They all said at the same time, to which he nodded his head before he turned to face Izuku personally.
"Midoriya, make sure you don't do something stupid." He told the boy who just let his shoulders drop in embarrassment.
'Why did they single me out?' He thought to himself as he felt the group's eyes on him. "Yes sir, I will. It will take some time anyway before I can get back into the air again anyway."
"I assume you don't plan on just repairing your gear." Rahzar asked him, having seen the state his armor and flight pack were in before he shipped them home.
"No sir, I plan on building an even better version to try and make up for the shortcoming of the last one. That's the only way I work." Midoriya replied, having spent his free time since the incident drawing up new designs for Mk X. he even put in some calls to Mellissa so she could take a look at them seeing how they both wished to incorporate some of her designs into it.
"Turning disaster and failure into triumph and success? That's really good quality there, kid. Don't ever stop growing, the only ones that can get away with that are the dead." The American Werewolf told him.
"Yes sir!" He replied, standing straight again like the rest of them.
"Now I advise you all get going, if you wish to make your train on foot, you'll need to leave now." Mister X said as he looked down at his watch and saw that their train was leaving the city soon.
"Yes sir." They all replied as they bowed again and walked off, having been told to walk to the station rather than take the bus or taxi, something about using every chance you can to exercise your body.
"So that wraps up our internships, right?" Midoriya asked Kodai as he walked closer to her.
"Hmm, all we need to do is make it back to campus." She replied as she tapped her case holding her costume, like the rest of them, she was wearing her school uniform again instead of civilian clothing. "How are you feeling?"
"A lot better actually. My wounds have just about finished healing." Midoriya informed her as he even got the bandages off the previous night, thanks to the doctors of the healing gel, all that was left were some scars on his side, his nose healed pretty quickly and now looked like he wasn't socked hard enough to crash into a wall of ice.
"Good." Kodai replied as they kept on moving, their place of internship slowly fading away into the background.
"You think you're taken something away from all this?" He asked her, having long since accepted that with her, you have to be the conversation starter.
"Hmm, I'm planning on keeping up my training. I need to get better so I can help more people." Kodai replied as she clenched and relaxed her fist a couple of times, already feeling her muscles growing stronger, missing the look of slight disbelief on her friend's face at her comment.
'Seeing how she got this far in only a few days, I need to up my training otherwise she'll be throwing me around like a ragdoll by the end of the term.' He thought to himself as he had taken time out of his day to see how she was doing by her lonesome. And he was impressed by her dedication to it, showing a level of understanding that's most took weeks to grasp. "So do I, who knows if I'll ever run into a Stain level fighter again, I need to be better than I am today if I intend to come out on top."
"Don't go picking fights."
"When have an ever picked a fight….outside of an exchange of words?" Midoriya added in as he saw her about to say something.
(Later at UA)
"Guys, you made it!" Uraraka waved at them as their group entered the school grounds. As she ran over, the business course guys said their farewells and walked off to join their clicks.
"Yeah, sorry we took some time. We were told to walk the whole way from the station." Midoriya said as Uraraka came in and gave him a massive hug, showing that for a girl her size, she also had some muscle to her.
"You have no idea how worried I was when I saw you guys fighting!" Uraraka told him as she released him from the hug and gave him one of her bright smiles. "But seeing you here makes me feel better."
"Sorry for worrying you like that, it couldn't be helped." Midoriya said as he rubbed the back of his neck, having done his best to calm her nerves over the phone whenever he could.
"Yeah, Iida already told me." Uraraka replied before she lost most of her pep. "I still can't believe he had to leave the hero course." She said, down over the issue that Iida wasn't here with them, having to take some time off to heal properly and prepare his legal defense.
"That's the law I'm afraid, but I'm sure he'll bounce right on back, better than ever!" Midoriya replied to cheer her up, having full faith that Iida will return and bring with him his strict hand chops.
"You're right." Uraraka giggled as she agreed with him. She would have said something else if not for someone else barrelling down towards them.
"Midoriya!" Tetsutetsu yelled as he nearly bowled others over to get to them, his face locked on them.
"Wha-!" Midoriya didn't even have time to comprehend what the heck was going on before he found himself trapped in the larger, stronger boy grasp as he both hugged and choked him out.
"Don't you ever do something so stupid and manly ever again! You hear me?!" Tetsutetsu ordered him as he held onto his friend as if he would vanish, which he appreciated but he would appreciate it more if he could breathe!
"I hear you, I hear you! Now stop trying to choke me out!" He managed to gag out as the silver-haired boy released him, at the same time that Kendo walked over, having been following behind Tetsutetsu but at a slower pace.
"Sorry about him, he wouldn't believe you were alright till he saw it with his own eyes." She apologized for her classmate who didn't even care enough to look embarrassed about her comment, real men showed that they cared, dammit!
"It's fine Kendo, how's the man's hands?" Midoriya joked as he pointed towards her still bandaged hands but got elbowed in the side by a very disapproving Uraraka. "Ouch!"
"Don't be rude." She admonished her friend. Only for the girl in question to wave it off, used to his sense of humor, it was a hell of a lot better than when they were all doom and gloom in their hospital room.
"It's fine, they healed up to near 100%. Recovery Girls says they'll be good for action by tomorrow." Kendo replied as she was eager to get back to training but like Midoriya, Gran Torino didn't allow her to do anything of the sort, leaving her to just sit around and stud up on hero laws and regulations.
"That's good, you took damage in the fight." Midoriya stated as her hands were messed up by the end there, he was worried about any possible long-term damage.
"Yeah, well when your quirk revolved around her hands, you learn pretty quickly that they're gonna get hurt…alot." Kendo responded with a deadpan expression, having learned that lesson from an early age when she got into a fight with some kid with an emitter-styled quirk. They kept on discussing how each of them had performed on their internships till they heard the bell sounding.
"Looks like we should head to class then." Kodai spoke up, having stayed out of the conversation, for the most part, only chipping in here and there.
"Looks that way, see you guys later." Midoriya said as he along with Uraraka started to walk their way towards their class.
"Hmm." Kodai replied as she, Kendo, and Tetsutetsu turned to make their way towards their class. Not wanting to be caught outside by the time the second bell rung.
"See you later man!" Tetsutetsu yelled over everyone else as they turned the corner and disappeared.
"Now, should we get going?" Midoriya said as they sped up, not wishing to test Eraser's patience with them.
"Yeah, I think Tokoyami's already inside." Uraraka replied having not seen Tokoyami earlier and making the assumption he just got there early and went to class, he wasn't the most social person anyway so it made sense.
(Near their class)
"The hell they laughing about?" Midoriya asked as he and Uraraka approached the door leading into their class and already they could make out Sero and Kirishima laughing like a couple of idiots.
"Something to do with Bakugo, why Bakugo?" Uraraka was equally confused as she couldn't imagine Bakugo making a joke that funny, did he wear his uniform funny or something?
"Your guess is as…"Midoriya started as he reached for the door and slid it open to the sight of Bakugo with a…..unique hairstyle. "Good as mine." He managed to get as he started to struggle to reign in his amusement at that sight, Uraraka not far behind.
"The hell you looking at!" Bakugo yelled at the two of them, having noticed them open the door.
"The hell is up with your hair!" Midoriya lost that battle as he started to laugh so hard that he nearly fell over, seriously, what the hell was Bakugo thinking trying to copy Jeanist?!
"Seriously, that look doesn't suit you at all Bakugo!" Uraraka also lost it as she laughed at him, ashamed that she was laughing at someone but at the same time, this was too much, how could she not?
"Shut it! My damn hair got used to it and now it going fucking go back to normal even after I wash it!" Bakugo yelled in his defense as he had washed his Goddamn hair six different times using three different types of shampoo and not one could get his hair back to normal! He already had to deal with the old hag laughing at him when they had a video call over the weekend, he was in no mood for this!
"You shouldn't be swearing you know," Midoriya pointed out as he began to calm down from his laughing high. "Not if you trying to audition for a role as one of the Delightful Kids from Down the Lane!" And he fell right back into it, his joke making Uraraka, Sero and Kirishima laugh even harder as the tape user fell in tears.
"Fuck that shit! DO I look like I want a stick shoved so far up my ass I can taste it?!" That did the trick, as Bakugo's anger somehow forced his hair back into its spiky, untamed style.
"It went back!" Kirishima kept on laughing as he banged on his desk, finding the sight of his friend's hair reflecting his temperament even funnier.
"Fuck you! The hell you thinking fighting Stain anyway?!" Bakugo had just about enough of this and barely held himself back from jumping these idiots.
"Hey, it wasn't like we went looking for a fight. One thing just….led to another and…well, you know." Midoriya explained badly as he finally calmed down for good and made his way over to his desk.
"Normally when one thing leads to another, you don't end up fighting a dangerous serial killer." Jiro jumped in, giving him an impressed stare as he just shrugged his shoulders and sat down, soon entering a conversation with Uraraka, Tokoyami, and Todoroki who had approached his desk to talk.
"At least you got to fight villains, all I did was help around the agency." Ashido complained as she didn't get to do anything fun all week!
"Well my internship wasn't as wild as theirs, but I did get to help with logistics and getting people to safety. Other than no actual fighting, it was that and train." Jiro stated as in her time with Death Arms, nothing besides her helping with that one hostage crisis stuck out. Besides that, it was patrolling/training which was a pain, even if she did see the point of it.
"(Kero) Well I mostly trained on the boat and went on a couple of patrols." Asui added in as she thought about her own experiences during their internships before she recalled something that stuck out. "Oh, there was that one incident when we managed to stop and arrest some smugglers trying to bring in illegal goods. That was different." Jiro and Ashido weren't sure what surprised them more, the fact she did something like that or the fact she was so chill about doing something like that.
"That's crazy! You fought smugglers?!" They both replied loudly, now envious of her.
"Yeah, it was hard but we managed. How bout you Uraraka, anything new from the internship?(Kero)" Asui said as she directed attention away from her towards the other girl, who looked like she had awoken the warrior within.
"It was….an invigorating experience." Uraraka replied with a wicked grin as she did some quick jabs, recalling all the techniques and take-downs she had learned. She didn't know why she had never picked up martial arts before.
"Jeez, someone lit a fire under her." Jiro stated, watching as the girl oozed this aura of….she didn't know what to call it, battle-ready…ness?
"She was with the battle hero, right. Is that why she's like that?" Kaminari asked, seeing the same thing they were.
"Nay man, you got it all wrong." Mineta spoke up to his friend who was next to his desk before he shivered like death had touched him and went into the fetal positions out of fear, all while somehow staying on his desk. "All women are monsters beneath the surface. They just hide it from the world." He spoke as if this was some dark truth.
"The hell is with you? All you did was go to Mt. Lady's." Kaminari asked the guy, what could have happened for him to have that kind of reaction.
"Speaking of which," Mineta recovered as he pointed an accusing finger towards their class rep. "Midoriya, You bastard!"
"The hell you calling me a bastard for?" Midoriya asked him, confused why he was being dragged into this.
"Why didn't you warn me? I thought I was in for some sweet, sweet boobs and you left me to root!" Mineta yelled at him as he had actual tears in his eyes, tears! He foolishly believed he was in for some 18+ fun times and all he got was hard labor. Hell, after they saw the whole Stain thing on the news, it was as if she got worse, doubling his workload and watching him like a hawk!
"I did?" Oh yeah, now he remembered. Yu did say something about taking out her frustration that would have been aimed at him on Mineta, he would never say it but he was thankful for that as it meant when he sees her after school, he was less likely to be smashed into the ground by an angry giant.
"Don't play dumb, I heard you laugh when I told Kaminari where I planned to go! You knew what she was like, admit it!" Mineta kept up the pressure, jumping up to his feet so he stood on the desk.
"Oh yes, I did. Not my problem you didn't get anything to fap to you prevvy grape-ball." Midoriya confessed to his so-called 'crimes', he was not ashamed of his actions, and he'll do it again if he could. But before Mineta could keep going, Kaminari played the peacemaker role and grabbed onto his perverted friend.
"Well, all that happened with me was that I was fawned over and had a good time. I got some training in and a few patrols but that's it, you guys on the other hand," He turned his attention to the four students, namely Todoroki and Midoriya. "You went through some shit."
"It was quite harrowing to do nothing but watch the news. It's great news to see that you're both alright." Yaoyorozu said, relieved that they were both all right.
"Yeah, speaking of which, where's Iida? Is he still in the hospital, he didn't move for like, the entire fight." Ojiro asked as he noticed that their class speedster was absent and missing the downtrodden looks on Todoroki, Midoriya, Tokoyami, and Uraraka's faces, though others picked up on that.
"That's the bad news. Iida…." Midoriya started before he took a breath and continued. "Iida won't be in class for a while."
"What, why?" Sero asked, a single brow raised in confusion.
"Is he still hurt?" Shoji spoke up, sounding concerned for their classmate.
"He is still recovering from the ordeal but that isn't the true reason that he doesn't stand with us at present." Tokoyami told them as he looked out the window, purposely avoiding their gazes.
"So, what is the 'true reason', bird-face?" Bakugo was getting sick of this, all they had to say was why four-eyes wasn't here, it was that simple.
"Iida wasn't permitted to fight, so in the eyes of the law, his actions were villainous." Todoroki told them, the information being as well-received as he would have expected. Poorly.
"What!" Kaminarai jumped back in shock, you mean that Iida was arrested?!
"That total BS!" Jiro was quick to take their classmate's side. It wasn't like he was hurting people, he was trying to help!
"We know, but until he clears this up in court, well…" Uraraka started but found herself interrupted as the door slid open again.
"Iida will no longer be in the hero course." Aizawa, having heard their voices from down the hall informed them as he made his way to the front.
"Aizawa-sensei!" The class said in uniform as they quickly made their way towards their desks lest they anger him. Once they were all seated and accounted for by his eyes, the worn-out-looking pro spoke up.
"As you all have a class with All Might coming up, I'll be brief. Yes, Iida is no longer in the hero course, people with criminal records aren't allowed to be in one." Aizawa told them as he figured that some just thought you needed a clean academic record to get into the hero course. The logic according to the government was that those trained in the ins and outs of hero work would be less likely to slip into a life of crime with this newfound knowledge and training.
"But Iida….Iida!" Okay, Hagakure didn't have the most descriptive depiction of the boy but he got the point she was trying to make.
"I understand how you feel but that rules exist for a reason, Iida's actions in Hosu were the height of irrational, if it weren't for Midoriya's timely arrival on the scene, he would have died alongside Native, and Stain would still be free." Aizawa told them. It was a harsh reality but those were the results of Iida's actions. It was by sheer luck that he was still alive as he could see more than a dozen reasons for Midoriya to have arrived too late in all the chaos of the attack on the city. Still, he wasn't heartless enough to not understand why Iida did the things he did.
"That sucks man, that sucks." Sato spoke up as he shook his head.
"I hear you. Iida was only trying to help." Kaminari spoke up, signing as the bad luck their classmate seemed to find himself in.
"Regardless, Iida himself has a strong case and otherwise spotless record. With the wealth of the Iida family, getting competent lawyers will be a breeze," Aizawa droned on, having complete faith that this won't impede the boy for too long. "But until the time when he is cleared of all charges, he is to be demoted to General studies."
"In the meantime, to facilitate these unusual circumstances, a student who has shown promise will be bumped up from general to the hero course to take up Iida's seat. He isn't here to replace him but seeing how he has a strong case to join the hero course, the staff thinks it would be beneficial for him to have a sort of trail ran, so to speak." He explained as their principal had seen this as a chance to try something he had been thinking about for a while.
"So that means that want to balance out the classes?" Jiro asked as she did the math in her and saw that with one removed from their class and added to another, there'll be an imbalance.
"Makes sense, as far as I know, only support have classes smaller than 20. They have like, 15 per class." Shoji threw in his two cents, having picked up that smaller than normal number during the sports festival when they were announced.
"I think it's nice." Uraraka said aloud, catching them off guard.
"What's nice, Uraraka?" Asui asked her, turning to speak with the other girl.
"Didn't you pick it up? Aizawa-sensei said 'when' Iida is cleared, not 'if'. He believes in Iida too." She explained with a bright smile, happy in the knowledge that Iida had their teacher on his side as well.
"Uh, I supposed you're right, Uraraka." Kirishima said in response to that, having not caught that.
'So she caught that? Smart girl.' Aizawa thought to himself, impressed that she had caught his choice of words like that. From the looks of it, she was the only one that did. "Quiet down, we don't have a lot of time as I still have to do roll-call."He told them all and once they quieted down, he turned to face the door. "You can enter." And with that, the door slid open and another student walked into the room.
"Wait a minute." Midoriya started as the boy walked over to the front of the class right next to Aizawa.
"Isn't that…?" Yaoyorozu picked up from there as she would recognize that head of wild purple hair anywhere.
"Good morning, my name is Hitoshi Shinso. I will be joining your class for the foreseeable future." Shinso stated blandly as he bowed to them like any other transfer student would, only he added that patented Aizawa method of having next to no energy to him. "I look forwards to learning beside you." He finished as he stood straight again, his face without emotion like during the festival.
"As some of you might have guessed and if not, I'm disappointed in you." Aizawa started, not caring about his students' feelings bring hurt due to his jab at them before he went on. "Any way, Shinso's performance in the sports festival proved that he might have Anywaye to transfer into the hero program." And with that, he turned to face his would-be student.
"Remember, you're not a hero student yet. This was done so that we can see how you would tackle entering the course much later than everyone else here." Aizawa instructed him as entering the hero course now would be a challenge in itself as the rest of the class already had a month's work of experience and lessons completed. Shinso would need to be more than play catch-up if he wished to keep a spot in his class.
"I understand." Shinso nodded his head toward the teacher, keeping his feelings on finally getting into the hero course to himself, having heard that Iida had been dropped to make room for him. He didn't know the why but he was smart enough not to act happy when these people may take that as a slight against the speedster, he was already sure he didn't have an ally in the Yaoyorozu girl or the youngest Todoroki.
"Good, take Iida's desk for now. It's the empty one in front of Uraraka. I'm sure you know who that is." Aizawa directed as he gestured towards the only empty desk in the room.
"I do, thank you sir." Shinso replied as he once more bowed to the teacher before making his way towards the table.
"Okay, lets' get down to roll-call." Eraserhead started he pulled out the class register and started calling out names and waiting for confirmation, despite the fact he hated doing this. 'Though I don't know why Nezu insists we do this, I can see that they're all here, even Hagakure.'
(Later – Field Gamma)
"Alright, it's good to see you all back from your internships in one piece but we don't have time to waste." All Might started as he stood in front of the assembled group of students, they could make out the main buildings from they were, which was a new site none of them had been to before. "That's right, it's time for Hero Basic Training!"
"Now since most of you have gotten some good experience and lessons from your internships, I planned something a little different for today. We're gonna have a little fun with a rescue training race!" All Might announced with his usual award-winning smile that many heroes have tried to replicate with varying degrees of success.
"All Might?" Yaoyorozu rose her hand, standing closer to Asui and Jiro as neither trusted Shinso at this time to not start something. The boy in question stood closer to the back long with Ashido and didn't particularly look to care that he was the only one not in hero gear, only wearing his P.E. uniform.
"Yes, young Yaoyorozu?" All Might questioned as he directed his attention to the wealthiest member of the class. No joke, the girl had more money than she knew what to do with.
"If we're doing rescue training, should we be doing it at the USJ? Is the facility still not safe for use?" She questioned him as it seemed odd to make use of the purpose-built facility.
"Oh no, they overhauled the entire security network for the whole school after that debacle, but that's not the point of the exercise today." All Might explained as it cost quite the pretty penny to completely upgrade every aspect of their security equipment, software, and protocols. "Didn't you hear me?" His smile grew even larger as he leaned in with a hand to his ear.
"That's right, I said 'race'! Which is why field Gamma is the perfect site for this little activity!" All Might said loudly as he gestured towards the large field behind him.
"A dense area filled with factories, warehouses, piping, storage silos along with wide streets and cramped alleys. A labyrinth in all but name." The number one informed them.
"You will all be broken up into groups of five at random and be sent in one group at a time. In that group, you will all be placed at equal distances away from the hostage, which I will play, but in separate locations within the field." He explained the exercise to them, sounding much more confident than he did on the first day as he didn't look like he needed his notes this time around.
"When I send out the distress from wherever I will be, it'll be a race between those five to see you can reach me and rescue me first!" He finished the simple explanation to the group, showing the vast difference between their first lesson being a hero vs villain fight to the rest of how fast they can navigate a random environment.
"Of course, you will be penalized for collateral damage so why don't we keep damage to the buildings to a minimum." He put in at the end as his large finger found itself slowly moving towards the one person they all knew would break a whole lot of stuff if left unchecked.
"The hell you pointing at me?" Bakugo growled with a pissed-off look, which only grew as Midoriya and Sero were both looking at him with cheeky grins.
"Let's see, you're the guy that's the to boom to Bin Laden's bang, need I say more?" Midoriya quipped out, getting some chuckles from their classmates at Bakugo's expense.
"Fuck you!" Bakugo yelled at him while flipping him the bird.
"Also!" All Might interjected before this could go any further. "Midoriya, typically, I would have placed a condition on you as well but seeing how your wings are still in the shop, you have the same conditions as everyone else, understand?"
"Don't break stuff, got it." Midoriya did a mock salute as true to All Might's words, Midoriya didn't have his wings on him even though he was in full gear.
"All right then, now let's pick our first group!" All Might said as he pulled a bag out of…someway and started to rummage through it for something.
"You're picking balls with our names on them out of a bag?" Todoroki asked, confused by this method of selection.
"Of course, I did say it would be random." All Might replied as he pulled out one ball and went on searching for others to make up five.
"Is he always like this in class?" Shinso asked Ojiro, who in turn flinched before responding.
"Pretty much. All Might's a fun teacher though." The tailed boy responded to his question, taking a chance and hoping he wasn't brainwashed, which he wasn't.
"I'll keep that in mind." Shinso replied before he turned attention back to the front where Al Might had picked out the last ball.
"The first person is-" The number one pro paused for dramatic suspense before he showed them the ball. "Mina Ashido!"
"Wish me luck!" Ashido bounced out of the crowd to stand to the side.
"Good luck Ashido!" Kirishima said to her, having faith in his friend to beat this challenge.
"Mashirao Ojiro!" All Might announced, showing off the second ball.
"Oh boy, right off the bat." Ojiro said to himself as he walked over to where Ashido had situated herself.
"Hanta Sero!"
"Great, this a field where I can shine!" Sero said excitedly that he could use this as his chance to shine.
"Tsuyu Asui!"
"(Kero) Looks like I'll be heading off." Asui said as she moved to stand with the three others, getting a wave from Ashido and a head-nod from their resident-tailed martial artist.
"Izuku Midoriya!"
"Let's get this show on the road." Midoriya said as he walked forward and placed his helmet on, securing the thing onto the bodysuit of his older Mk VIII gear.
(Later – Once the first group had entered and been randomly placed.)
"Man, this group's everyone with mobility." Kirishima pointed as the rest of the class stood on a pre-prepared platform where they could watch the five via multiple cameras.
"What about Midoriya, you think he's good for actions without his wings?" Jiro asked from her spot seated next to Yaoyorozu.
"Well, he still has his boots and…" Yaoyorozu started but paused as she thought about what she observed earlier.
"And what?" Jiro pressed, her brow raised in curiosity.
"You notice the hook-like device on his belt?" The heir to the Yaoyorozu name and fortune asked, having seen such things on Midoriya person, one of either side of his waist.
"You mean he's using more support gear than normal?" Kaminari asked, thinking about how…weird it was to see the shorter boy in costume but lacking his wings.
"Yeah, but I can't help but feel like I've seen it before." Uraraka joined in as she sat cross-legged, Shinso being seated next to her at her insistence.
"But the question is, who has the advantage and disadvantage?" Shoji asked, looking over all of them and trying to pick the best option of the bunch.
"Well, Ashido gotta be careful not to damage anything so she can't use her quirk like she normally would. Sero I'll say has the best chance of winning. If not him then Tsu." Kirishima said as he thought about how each of them approached a problem.
"Yeah, she can move when she wants to, being a jumper and having that tongue might give her the edge." Uraraka stated, thinking that her friend could also shine such a test.
"I think it'll be Ashido! She's athletic you know." Mineta jumped in, showing off who he thought would be best.
"Why am I concerned that you of all people are backing her?" Shinso asked as not he had only been with them for a short while and already he knew that Mineta was a massive prev.
"She's a girl, remember?" Jiro reminded him, having expected he would route for her or Asui in the hopes something stupid would happen and leave them without clothes in some kind of compromising position.
"Oh yeah. That makes sense," Shinso nodded his head before he turned his tired-looking eyes towards her. "But what about Tsu?"
"Maybe he likes her more, I don't know what goes on in that head of his." Jiro replied, shivering at the thought what the nature of Mineta's innermost thoughts.
"I don't think I want to know." Sato said in agreement if Mineta was this bad openly, only God knew what he was like privately.
"Tails will be last!" Bakugo shouted out, not caring for his volume.
"I don't know, on a normal day, I say Midoriya would win but he can't fly right now so I don't know." Uraraka started but paused when she heard the boy next to her crack a laugh.
"What's so funny, Shinso?" Kaminari asked, having caught that as well.
"Oh nothing, I just was with the support class when Midoriya came in looking for some gear." Shinso explained as they watched as all five did what they typically did to warm up and get ready for action.
"You know what he's using?" Uraraka asked, surprised that he would know about this new equipment.
"I have an idea." He answered.
"Aren't you going to tell us?" Uraraka asked catching onto the fact he wasn't going to share info.
"Why spoil it? You're gonna see it soon enough anyway." Shinso answered a creepy grin as she just pouted at him, unknowingly making herself look more like some character called Kirby.
(One the field)
"All right, here we go!" All Might from his position on the field as he held up a trigger with a big red switch. "Start!" Which he soundly pressed, causing an alarm to sound across the entire field and getting all five to leap to action.
All five went off full-throttle with Ojiro using his tail as a launch mechanism whenever he could to cover a larger distance than normal across the ground level. Ashido took the higher route and was skating along one of the pipes towards All Might's location. Using an acid that was too weak to do any real damage but strong enough to decrease friction to that she would move with little effort but a good speed.
Asui had taken to leaping from place to place, quickly getting up to the roof-tops and jumping from building to building. Sero was leading the pack by using his tape to latch onto bars and pipes to swing himself around, clearing distances that would take a normal person much more time with ease.
(With the class)
"See what I tell you?" Kirishima cheered as they watch Sero land on a pipe before jumping off, shooting another line of tape towards something they couldn't make out in the shot and being pulled towards it. "Just out the gate and already I first."
"I see, in such a cramped and jumbled environment, it would only be logical to head for higher ground." Yaoyorozu observed as just about all of them had taken to high ground, which worked as it meant fewer obstacles and a greater line of sight of where you were going.
"And Sero's a whiz when it comes to swinging around." Shoji pointed out as it seemed that Sero was making the best time of the group.
"Don't count out Ashido just yet, she's still in this!" Mineta interjected as they watched.
(Back on the field)
"Oh yeah, this place is like a paradise for me! First place here I come!" Sero said to himself as he swung across a large gap between buildings, till he picked up something coming up behind him at high speeds.
"What the-!" He yelled out as he spotted what was making that noise as a line shot right past him and embedded itself into the wall. "Is that a wire?"
"Right you are, Sero!" He heard a familiar person call out to him as he heard what sounded like a wire being coiled back as he looked back and to his surprised, he saw Midoriya gaining on him as he pulled himself by the wire that he shot out from one of the ports on his waist. He had new gear?!
"The hell!" Sero questioned as he found himself passed by.
"See you at the finish line!" Midoriya called out as he used his shockwaves to jump over the wall once he had reached it, dislodging the arrowhead-like hook from it as it returned to his port. A second later, he fired off another one towards an even further where it hooked, allowing him to reel it in while shooting off some weak shockwaves. The result, was him zipping along ahead of the rest of them.
"Hey, you're stealing my thunder man! Get back here!" Sero yelled at him as he got serious and started to catch up with his competition.
(With the class)
"Now I remember where I saw them! Didn't that support girl use them also?" Uraraka yelled out, seeing the uncanny resemblance to what that pink-haired support student used to across part of the obstacle race.
"Oh yeah, she did! What was her name again…." Sato paused to think back about the girl he had teamed up with. "Mei Hatsume I think."
"Was that what he requested?" Jiro asked, looking over to their temporary classmate.
"Oh yeah, he said that he wanted to use something like them in case his wings over failed mid-flight," Shinso replied, having watched amusedly as the boy sucked up his pride to ask the girl for some gear, seeing how he had nothing prepared. Hatsume didn't seem to care and was more than willing to spare some of her completed prototypes. "I figured he'll use them to swing about as she did."
"What an unexpected twist." Aoyama observed with his usual sparkles.
"And he didn't need her boots because he can just use his shockwaves to propel him. You mean to tell me that he picked this up all the way back then?" Bakugo asked, feeling pissed that his old friend had been learning and adapting, even during a competition like the festival.
"Well, we already knew he was observant, we just didn't think it would to this degree." Yaoyorozu gave her opinion as she may think he was…eccentric at times but she couldn't deny his brilliance.
(On the field)
"What you mean he's in first?" Ashido asked, having heard the announcement that Midoriya had taken first.
"He's covering that kind of distance?" Ojiro came to a stop as he hung by his tail from a beam, only for a green-wearing frog to shot right on past him.
"(Kero)If I was you, I would be focusing on getting to All Might." Asui reminded him, taking what she had learned to heart, most notable what Midoriya had done during the obstacle race, not focusing on the others and just trying to complete it as soon as possible.
"Shit! Get back here Tsu!" Ojiro cursed as he swung himself forward to try and catch up before he was left behind.
'Great, everything is working just fine, the wires guide me towards wherever a shot them, meaning I use less power.' Meanwhile, with Midoriya, he moved through the course as fast as he could, keeping his focus on what was in front. 'Now that I can't rely on my flight pack to provide the fuel for each shot, I need to depend on compressed gas. I still got about 3 thirds the tank, it's small but it'll have to do.' He thought to himself as he ran along a pipe looking for his next target, when he found it, he jumped right of and aimed his hook towards
"Just aim and," He said aloud as he took careful aim. "Fire!" He yelled as the hook and line went flying, propelled by compressed gas towards a building's wall.
"Oh no you don't, I'm not giving up that easy!" He heard Sero call out from behind as he came swinging in.
"Bring it." Midoriya accepted his challenge as he felt his hook hit home and immediately pulled himself towards it, blasting off shockwaves as propulsion to increase his speed.
'Hmmm, they both have a great awareness of their surroundings, are able to turn and move around obstacles nicely and have excellent control of themselves in a #3D environment such as in the air.' All Might thought to himself as observed the two boys on his own screen where he was.
'But,' He observed with a grin as Midoriya found himself losing ground to Sero who was able to pull off much greater control and dodges, allowing him to take a more direct approach while Midoriya had to find alternative routes. 'Sero has more experience, something that beginning to show.'
(Later)
"Finish!" He called out once the last person had reached his location.
"Thanks, and congrats!" All Might said as he held a stash for first place.
"Thank you kindly!" Sero celebrated as he proudly wore the winner stash, Midoriya was in the background sulking to himself. Muttering how he couldn't believe he didn't see some pole till it was too late and he nearly crashed into it.
First place: Hanta Sero
Second place: Izuku Midoriya(3.5 seconds behind first)
Third place: Tsuyu Asui(6.4 seconds behind second)
Fourth place: Mina Ashido(3.9 seconds behind third)
Fifth place: Mashirao Ojiro(1.2 seconds behind fourth)
"Damn, he's good." Midoriya said once he calmed down and checked his touchscreen interface and saw that he only had around 22% gas left. "Burned through most of the gas just to keep up." Well in all fairness, he couldn't expect any more seeing how the canisters were themselves small.
"Listen up, young Sero may have come first but compared to the beginning of the school year, you have all improved. Keep training like this and you should be great on your finals!" All Might told them as they all stood in front of him.
"Yes sir!"
"Now would you all kindly leave the area so that the next group can take their places?" He asked of them as they all nodded their heads and walked off the small buildings and made their way to the exit so that the next group could start.
(Later – Girls changing room)
"All Might sure put us through the wringer, didn't he?" Hagakure said as she placed her glove in her locker.
"Our first class in a while and here I am feeling tired. We need to keep improving as All Might said." Yaoyorozu said as he now only wore her red leotard without her support gear, her hair was even down as she needed to fix it again.
"You and me both, I need to find a way to boost my mobility, I'm no slouch when it comes to running but I need to take up parkour or something." Jiro added in as she pulled up her shirt and fastened it on.
"Don't feel so bad, you're one the best in the class at gathering intelligence. Like a bad-ass spy or something." The invisible girl said as she reached for her bra and quickly put it on.
"Still Tsu, you really shined out there today, any pointers?" Uraraka asked the green-haired girl as she buttoned up her shirt.
"(Kero) Not really, being part frog does have its upsides. One of them being I can really move around when I want to." Asui replied as she removed the top half of her hero costume, leaving her in nothing but her sports bra.
"The hell?" Jiro spoke up again, looking around the locker room with a suspicious and angry glare.
"Jiro, something wrong?" Uraraka asked the punk rock poster girl.
"You guys hear Mineta?" She asked them as she looked towards the wall where it was coming from.
"Aww, gross, you mean that he's in here, like right now?" Ashido complained, now feeling like that slimeball's eyes were all over her.
"I don't think so, he should still be changing but I can hear him a lot better than I…." Jiro stopped as she saw what her to hear him clearer than she should with a wall between them. "Should."
"Is that a peephole?!"Uraraka blushed up a storm as she covered herself, as she was in her shirt….just her shirt, she hadn't pulled up her shit yet.
"When did it get there?" Asui asked, wondering how the hell they had not noticed it till now.
"Good job on finding it, Jiro. We'll seal it up right away." Yaoyorozu said with a dark look to her eyes as she got ready to use her quirk to make a cement-like substance to remedy the situation.
"Now hold on, we don't need to seal it up right away." Ashido said with a cheeky grin, one they all knew meant trouble.
"What are you getting at, Ashido. I hope you're not suggesting what I think-" Yaoyorozu started before she realized where the pink-skinned girl was going with this.
"Oh come on, don't be such a stick in the mud. This is a great time to get a….good look at our male counterparts, right?" Ashido suggested with a teasing smile as all the girls blushed at a thought of seeing what the boys were….equipped with. Some more than others.
"Absolutely not, if we did that, we're no better than the perverted boys who put this hole here!" Yaoyorozu denied it, trying to reign in her red cheeks.
"How you know it was perverted boys? It could have been a girl that left behind for us!" Ashido countered her argument as she moved closer to the hole as if to defend it.
"Ashido, No! We can't go around doing stuff like that, it isn't right!" Uraraka jumped in, keeping herself away from the hole's line of sight as she rushed to pull up her shirt.
"Don't tell me you're not the slightest bit interested in seeing how Midoriya looks without a shirt…." And Ashido got her there, her blushing face telling of her own inner desires to see her friend without a shirt. "Or maybe pants." Okay, now she got a minor nosebleed at the thought.
"And besides, I don't know about you but I'm itching to see what Todoroki has underneath all that cool and collected personality and clothing." Ashido said as she slowly moved closer to it, wishing to see more of their cool-headed classmate….much more.
.
.
.
"(Kero)I won't tell if you don't tell." Asui spoke up as she put on her dress shirt, shocking them all at her decision to back Ashido.
"Tsu!" Jiro cried.
"What? It's a tempting offer, besides, when are we going to have this chance again?" The frog quirked girl asked them, looking at each of them as they didn't answer her. It wasn't like they were really doing anything bad, right?
"Al-alright then, we can. Proceed, but only this once!" Yaoyorozu caved in as she worked to try and make something of her loss to her curiosity and hormones.
"H-hold on, how are we all going to see what's going on? Take turns?" Hagakure proposed as they couldn't all have enough time to look and still get dressed in time, right?
"….I can….I can make a snake camera and a small screen device." Yaoyorozu offered as she covered her face with her hands in shame. 'Oh my Goodness, I can't believe I'm using my quirk for such things!'
"Thanks, Yaomomo!" Clearly, Ashido didn't care for her shame as she gave her the thumbs-up.
"Give me a moment, please." Yaoyorozu said as she went to work creating the snake-line cable with the video camera on the end as well as the small talet size screen they would use to peak into the boys' locker room.
"Okay, we're set. Jiro, if you would." Ashido asked as Jiro nodded her blushing head and worked the line through the to the other side, having to be careful so they weren't caught as she would sooner burn in hell than let Mineta have some fantasy of the girls checking him out. 'I gotta admit, I'm curious about Kaminari, I've never seen him shirtless before."
(On the screen)
"Shit this is bad." Kaminari said, sounding like he was panicking as all the boys, Shinso included sat in a circle in the middle of the locker room. They were all holding cards but they couldn't make out what type they were.
"Bad, this is a disaster, one of us is going to die!" Kirishima was one of the same mind, though he was still shirtless which wasn't odd seeing how all of them were in varying degrees of dressed with Bakugo only in his boxers.
"At least it'll be a quick death, right?" Midoriya asked as he placed a card from his hand into the middle of the group.
"There is no such thing." Bakugo said as he threw down his own object into the middle. "Eat shit, Sato!"
"The hell, a plus 4?!" The bulky boy's eyes widened as he saw that card had been thrown. "Do you realize the madness you've unleashed?!" Sato yelled as he threw down a skip card so that the card would go to the next person, that being Mineta.
"All I know is that this game is in the bag." Bakugo gloated, already feeling like he was the winner seeing how he only had three cards left.
"I don't see what you're going on about, seeing how I have the power." Mineta spoke up, he had an air to him that spoke of total control.
"No," Midoriya spoke up, most likely figuring it out whatever Mineta was playing.
"It…cannot be…" Shoji of people, Shoji spoke up, sounding like he was before some awesome power.
"Oh yes bitches, read it and weep!" Mineta yelled out as he threw down his trump card.
"Reverse!" Kaminari called out in surprise. If that was the card then that would mean that.
"You fucker!" Sato uncharacteristically swore as he now had to pick up four cards adding to the 6 he already hand.
"Is this what you guys get up to after every training session?" Shinso from his seat next to Midoriya and Kirishima asked, he was mostly dressed only missing his tie.
"Oh yeah, keeps us competitive." Midoriya explained to him as they kept on playing, with each person throwing down cards when they card, trying to lose all their cards.
"Does Aizawa-sensei know?" The brainwasher asked, having gotten the feeling that their homeroom wouldn't approve of this one bit.
"No he doesn't, and we'll like that to stay as is." Sato said they all knew what he would do to them if he found out about their little locker room games. "Funny enough, we got the idea from Present Mic-sensei, he said that when he attended UA, they did the same thing." He added in as most of them laughed at their part, having gotten the idea from one of the Mic said.
"So what, is this some kind of UA hero course tradition?" He asked the hero course boys, having seen nothing like this with the general studies students.
"My father has a deck of UNO cards in his desk, so maybe that's true." Todoroki spoke up as he threw down his second to the last card while calling out 'uno', leaving him as the sole person with a single card.
"Never thought I'll hear that Endeavour plays UNO. All Might sure but him." Bakugo said as he waited for his turn to screw with them some more.
"He seems liable to burn the cards every time he has to pick up cards." Midoriya agreed with him as they kept the game going.
"Tell be abou-" Sero started to speak but then something fell out of the sleeve of his shirt, making him freeze while Mineta reached to pick up whatever it was.
"Sero, what is that?" Kaminari asked as he pointed towards the object, having not seen what it was.
"Oh that, it's ….that's a." Sero tried to explain as he began to sweat like a pig as Mineta looked at the card for a solid four seconds before he blew a gasket.
"You lying son of a bitch," he yelled as he tackled the taller boy to the ground and started to reach inside his shirt, soon pulling out even more UNO cards, all reverses or plus 4, getting everyone to look on in shock and growing anger. "I knew it! You have cards hidden in your sleeves."
"You bastard, how dare you cheat at such a noble game?!" Midoriya jumped to his feet, not caring that he was shirtless and only wearing his pants.
"I swear, I only used them once!" Sero tried to defend his vile criminal ways as he backed up from the group as they moved closer, some flashing their quirks as lighting started to dance off Kaminari's fingers while Todoroki let a little flame dance in his palm.
"And I swear to kill you once!" Bakugo growled as he approached him like a pissed-off wolverine, his palms letting loose some small blasts.
"And we swear to help get rid of the body once!" Sato said as he cracked his neck to the side. He didn't need sugar for what they plan for this fraud.
"We solemnly swear not to snitch, this one time." Tokoyami spoke up as Dark Shadow made an appearance and though lacking any real facial features, Sero could the feeling he was just as angry as his master.
"Guys, guys?" Sero tried pleading but when he saw even Shinso was in on beating the crap outta him, be turned to bolt for the door, he would rather explain to Aizawa why he was only wearing his boxers and white undershirt than deal with this. "Shit!" he cried as he tried to run but found that he was trapped by Mineta's balls, having not noticed the boy set the trap in his fear.
"Get him!" Their class rep and group leader, Midoriya shrieked as they jumped the screaming boy and went to work teaching by you never…..EVER cheat at UNO!
(Back with the girls)
.
.
.
"I gotta admit, I didn't think that's what goes on in the boys changing room." Asui was the first to collect herself as they watched as the boys beat the ever-loving crap outta one of their own for cheating. Though she would never use such methods of punishment, she did agree that cheaters should be punished.
"They take damn time to play a round of UNO?" Jiro on the other hand was not impressed as their faces went from being flushed with embarrassment and slight arousal at the prospect of seeing the boys in the nude to being confused, irritated, or downright shocked at what went down in the men's changing room.
"I take it back, boys really do take the time to do stupid things in the locker room." Uraraka said with a straight face, now knowing how to deal with this latest development as they all turned the camera off, carefully pulled it back to their side, sealed the hole before packing up the gear in their bags to dispose of them later and finally getting fully dressed and leaving the changing. As they passed by the boys, they could still hear them going to town.
"Please, Please! Mercy!"
"Frauds don't deserve mercy!"
"You shall pay for disrespecting the great game of UNO!"
That's the end of the chapter people, I know that it's shorter than the last two but those two went way over my usual limit. Iida is gone for now but he will return so don't you worry, in the meantime, Shinso has arrived to take his spot which I think makes sense as Shinso only gets confirmation that he'll join the hero course post joint training arc as far as I know, which is still only manga, it might appear in season 5, I don't know at this time but think about it, he got that from making it to the tournament of the sports festival, here he made it all the way to the Semi-finals so of course he'll be transferred faster then cannon as if all goes well for him, he'll be a full0fledged member of the hero course by the Summer camp raid of season 3. Which I of itself means that the raid will go differently to cannon.
Also, I need your help, my readers. As stated, Midoriya is starting to bound with some of the business course students so I need names, appearances, genders(sexes if I need to be specific) as well as quirks for these OCs. If you have something, I would appreciate if you can PM them to me, I'll not keep this open for long, only the next five chapters so don't take too long.
Yes, you all saw it right, he used a specially customized form of her wire arrows in the same way that 3D manoeuvre gear is used in Attack of Titan, the only real difference being in a design as I can imagine Mei's version would be much more efficient and even lighter, all without requiring lengthy training as I can't see Mei spending a lot of time training for it since she tends to focus most if not all her energy on inventing.
The game of UNO was a joke that I been wanting to put in for a long time, mostly because of all the boys vs girls memes going around. One of which I saw was that in the boys bathroom, they have penguins practice marching to the Soviet national anthem. Another reason was to show that the girls can be just as hormonal as the boys as Mineta is a pervert yes, but he is only the most open pervert as I wouldn't shame Yaoyorozu for having her own collection of…..adult material, so long as you doesn't make things weird like Mineta does, you can have your porn and still be popular. The third and final thing is that yes, UNO is a thing in their world as during the Two Heroes movie, Hagakure pulls out a deck of clearly marked UNO cards when the villains take control of the island. When my brother and I saw that, we were making jokes about one of them cheating and dying as that game, like Monopoly can get intense.
Oddly enough, in the beginning of the show, I would say that Izuku is like Armin as he's smart but not very strong, relying on others to fight his battles even though he hates it. He doesn't really change from this mould as the story goes aside from getting protagonist power like Eren, he still acts like Armin would in his shoes.(Season 4 isn't out yet so I don't know how Armin will use his new found powers)In this story, he is more like Hange and Sasha combined as like Hange, he's a scientist and engineer as well as fighter and like Sasha, he tends to take more unconventional approaches to his gear which at times, makes him unsuited for walking in a team, unless they'll following his lead.
Lastly, I didn't include All Might's talk with Tetsutetsu about the nature of OFA and AFO as we already know what he would say and I couldn't fit an opportunity for the two to interact on screen. It happens and they'll talk about it in another chapter, maybe the next one but it'll more be Tetsutetsu and Midoriya talking about it and what this means for them.
bauers374: Actually…..that's not a bad idea, don't know why it hasn't crossed my mind till you mentioned it, thanks. Well, I never watched Star Trek Generations, I just do it in case I take longer than normal in between updates so that readers can recall what happened in the last chapter.
Captain343Spark: All our actions have consequences as unlike cannon, they can't just sweep it under the table and pretend it never happened. Also, I appreciate that you enjoyed the last chapter.
NinjaFang1331: Thanks, we're moving onto the finals now and they'll be much different to cannon so I hope you and everyone else enjoys what I have planned.
TheLethalSperg500: That's one way of putting it. Though aside from them being good and evil respectively, they'll be other differences between the two.
FouzyFFN:(I can't say too much about that yet)[Must return to comment when down writing chapter]
ocomhdhain1: You're not the first person to want that. In fact, when I was going over their interactions, I saw the chemistry too. Sadly, I already said this won't be a harem story…..at least for now(don't take that too serious, that was mostly a joke)
Blaze1992: I will incorporate some of the TNMT universe into this but not all of it, so not all the characters will even exist. Either way, that's only to really came into play when I do the stuff for season 4 and 5 at the earliest.
tacktician: That does sound like something he would do but that would mean that he knows of Izuku's drive to become a hero without one. I'll actually see what I can do with that, it could prove to be quite useful. Thanks.
Filipino BOI: Yes but I haven't really been keeping up to date with it. Yes, but I haven't watch KonoSuba, the way he died just through me off the whole thing as that wasn't sad…..that was downright pathetic.
D3lph0xL0v3r: Once more, yes that is the connection between the two universes, so when the time is right, we'll see some turtle power. And yes, he can't be judged for illegal quirk use as he doesn't have one to use but unlike before, where only three people knew of his vigilante activities, they police have his name and face so they'll would have found something to charge him for if the prosecutor was thorough enough.
GunBlade2020: Thanks, I'll been keeping busy but with flu season kicking into high gear, things have been rather…difficult.
bastidaswilliam2005: Well with most of those other stories, when they introduce OCs, they do nothing with them and reduce them background characters or they'll killed/captured off screen. With the league, none of them are background characters and each have their own unique backstories, goals, personalities, challenges they overcome, powers and skills, etc. I believe that if the author gives their OCs the same kind of attention that Horikoshi has with the League and the rest of the main cast, they can be quite engaging and interesting.
Guest: Well birds of prey were his inspiration so of course they'll be mentioned a lot. Though we all have our tastes so if you don't want to read this, it's cool. I do hope that you find a story on this site you enjoy though.
Zukafew119: Before anything, I just want to say that your reviews are always the longest ones, being larger than three to four others combined. That being sad, let's address it. Midoriya interactions with the others were written in a way that they wouldn't be out of place for someone like Donny(TNMT) to say in his place. He pulled the missile card when he decided to disregard damage to the area and focus more on winning the fight.
The guy uses a blade strong enough to slice through large chunks of ice, anyone who has ever used an actual sword can tell you that that's very impressive as the blade can easily bend or break on impact even if you have enough force behind the blow. So yeah, he cut off something. And as I implied to an earlier review, I love just about all the members of the league, sure I prefer Dabi and Toga more so then the rest but I don't dislike them. So I wanted to give them some spotlight a bit early to show my appreciation for them.
AFO may be training Tomura, but I doubt he would have given him the true number, the attack itself wasn't even that well planned and if those things are as hard to make as I think, the biggest criminal mastermind in Japan wouldn't be so liberal with their use, especially as he would have predicted that the heroes and authorities would crack down on them hard, making it even harder to produce Nomu. Anyway, he's playing it safe.
It's implied that the number of quirkless people in BNHA is 20% internationally, meaning that some countries would have higher or lower numbers to this and with many agreeing that many quirkless make up the older generations, it'll be pretty rare to find a quirkless person Izuku's age and younger as the only other quirkless teen we know about(Mirio post Overhaul arc doesn't count, he lost the quirk he had) is Melissa, and he's an American living and studying on I-island. Also remember the stats for the suicide rate in Japan for quirkless people that Izuku answered Thirteen question with back in Chapter 9, he said '60% by their 16th birthdays, 74% by their 20th. You get the point I'm making here? So yeah, it'll be a little tricky for the doctor to get his hands on a live healthy naturally quirkless test subject.
Stain was able to make everyone freeze with just his conviction in cannon, this list included Gran Torino and Endeavour, veteran pros of high skill calibre. So it would be child's play for that same person to make a couple of teenagers neat shit themselves out of fear. And yes, Burnin will make more appearances as the story goes as I already plan for her to be Shoto's mentor with fire rather than Endeavour and they still need to work through….ALOT of family drama. Though I admit, I did get the thought of shipping Burnin and Shoto together rather as from the wiki says about Moe, she has the type of personality that I think would suite Shoto nicely and add to whatever dynamic they develop as a couple-and because it's hot since it would mean Izuku isn't the only guy dating an sexy older girl, sue me. There is still the Yaoyorozu/Todoroki ship but to me, the main reason people like this ship so much is because they're both recommendation, both are super rich(with Yaoyorozu's family having much more money) and both have powerful quirks. Other than that, they have had next to no on screen interactions or real chemistry as of the end of season 4.
To be fair, even if Stain wasn't injured, they would have taken him down anyway. I don't recall mentioning anyone from Shiketsu yet, did I make a spelling error or something? With Shoto, he wasn't joking, he was being serious as remember, this was the same guy who thought he was cursed to break and otherwise harm the hands of others. Something so funny that even Iida laughed his ass off. Of course they'll worry about their families, they'll still teens and they can already tell that their actions weren't exactly what their folks would approve of. Burnin was more giving them a break as they had already gone through a rough night.
As far as I know, they only give that to patients who appear distressed and/or violent or otherwise ordered to by a doctor. As none of them were these things, the odds of them getting a sedative to help them sleep is pretty low. He is less bitter then you're making him out to be, he's more along the lines of disappointed in himself. Stain isn't the type to waste time just cause he as enjoying himself, the fight lasted as long as it did because he was holding back for most of it because he didn't want to kill them, if he wanted them dead, they'll would be dead right now. They'll have sessions with Hound Dog when they get back to school and talk about thing with their family but for now, that'll be mostly off screen.
The little speech was something I was afraid would come off as unneeded but it fit in quite nicely to the story. Also, I couldn't give all the lines to the chief, there were other pros present that can pick here and there so why not use them. Iida will have to pay for his actions unlike cannon, though that's not because I don't like him but more because such a thing would need to happen to help to shape him into a different character then what he is cannon wise. Yes, he won't really be punished as if nothing else, his parents can afford came really good lawyers and with his spotless record, I can't see a jury(if Japan follows the criminal justice system we see in western TV) throwing the book at him, a slap on the wrist and this going on his permanent record, sure.
I did this because the narration from Midoriya we hear in cannon, sounds like he's recalling distant memories as a much older person as he even says 'This is the story of how I become the world's greatest hero.' His parents know that he would never pick a fight without reason, still they were his parents which means they worry as we know for a fact he gets his crying from his mother. Tokoyami wasn't in their room, Midoriya was taking the call in the common area of the hospital and Tokoyami spotted him. He led the dark feathered boy to their room after he made the last call.
Gran Torino originally had this talk with All Might but seeing how Midoriya isn't his successor yet, there's not much reason for them to speak about such things at this point. And yes, Stain will prove to be a deadly foe, even in prison as he will inspire many more to take up his cause(or some twisted version of it). AFO isn't looking down on him for being quirkless, he's looking down on him he knows that the boy would near certainly loss to him as at this point, Midoriya had neither the skill or equipment to take him on, or even something like the High-end Nomu we see Endeavour fight(which too be fair, Endeavour himself struggled to kill that thing) AFO is merely thinking about his own past and how his younger brother constantly got in his way so he knows when someone might be a threat to his plans, even if they seemingly have no power.
As for Burnin, I know of 'Ara Ara', I read the whole thing(along with other works by Yojimbra). Internship aren't meant for students to fight villains or engage in major incidents as we Mirio and Eraser I believe, inform that it's work studies that they need to focus on as internships are like the name implies, internships. If you've ever worked internships, they are mostly like what cartoons say they are, they can't give him really big or important jobs as you'll still training so most of the time, you're either running errands or doing other small stuff. Work Studies is when they do all the crazy stuff as they know have a provisional licence to show their skill level, hence why Uraraka, Tsuyu, Kirishima and Midoriya were allowed to join in the Overhaul Raid despite still being first years with only around one and a half terms worth of training.
It's not a big secret but no, Iida will attend the summer camp like the rest of the hero course as by then, he would be clear of all charges and like Eraser said, even those who failed the final exams were allowed to came, they just had to spend even more time while on camp studying and training unlike the rest who could relax every now and then. So of course, Iida would came, he would need that camp more than anyone to catch up on all the stuff he missed. Provisional Licence on the other hand….that's still in the air, it'll depend on how things go during the summer camp raid and the aftermath.
Cosmyk Angel: Thanks, I'm still working on that grammar.
Voltrasin: I don't particularly dislike the ship. As far as I'm concerned, 9 out of 10 ships can work if the author puts in the work to show the two characters interacting in a positive manner without it coming off as forced or plot convenience. In another story I read, a IzukuxMei story where she is the person that believes in him and helps him to achieve his goal, they even make a battle suit and everything so that he can be a hero, and her work can get time in the sun. Long story short, that story is clearly a UrarakaxBakugo ship but it doesn't come off as forced and their interactions feel real. That being said, some ships….just…don't….work unless you make some serious changes to characters involved goals, personalities, ages, genders or sexual preferences(HawksxEndevour)
There their they're: Chapter one is just him learning his craft and building onto what knowledge he has to make the gear he would need. I have no idea what you are talking about
