Back with an update! Before it becomes an expectation for me to update so quickly, let me just say that I had most of this chapter already written when I published the first one. Aside from that, I go back to university in a couple weeks. The first few weeks should be pretty light, so I'll be able to update with reasonable delays in between. But once midterm season gets going, updates will probably be slow.

Also, I edited the first chapter a lot - I realized I didn't like the wording I used half the time, so it had a big overhaul. Content is still the same, just the way I re-wrote it, I think it's better now. Check it out if you feel like it!

Now, just a couple reviews I wanted to address.

Fadumo: I've read most if not all of the longer MHA x HXH crossovers on this site. I agree, the first chapter did not have 100% original ideas, but from my predictions on those stories this one is not going to be like them at all. If you read this, I hope this chapter can convince you a bit on that!

StormbringerNS: Thanks for the support! Hope this chapter lives up to your (and everyone else's) expectations. About the Gary Stu flexing, I don't plan for much of that to happen. In fact, part of the reason why I chose for Quirks to be Nen in this story is because Gon and Killua would have to take every fight seriously. They can be badly injured by Nen.

With that said, hope you all enjoy!


Chapter 2

Killua had just sat in his seat 10 minutes before homeroom started, and he was already being pestered by several students about his performance in the Quirk Apprehension Test.

"Dude, you did so well yesterday! What a manly performance!" Kirishima burst after huddling around Killua's desk, standing in between Kaminari and Ashido.

"Yeah man, you can do so many cool things with your Quirk!" Kaminari praised as well, standing directly in front of Killua's desk. "My Quirk is electricity too, but you have some next level control!"

"You beat Todoroki! Can you believe it?! You beat a recommended student!" Ashido was gushing at Killua's right side, her hands clenched up near her cheeks.

The rest of the class present was looking over at him now too…or at least trying to. Kaminari, Kirishima, and Ashido had blocked off the view of the silver haired teen sitting in the farthest corner of the class.

"Z-Zoldyck, y-your Quirk is electricity, right?" Midoriya stuttered out from a few desks behind Kirishima.

Killua spotted the shy boy and eyed the notebook and pencil in his hand. The notebook was closed, but curiosity of the book's contents got the best of Killua. He merely gave a nod to Midoriya's question.

The nod was all the green haired boy needed. The speed at which he opened his notebook and began furiously mumbling and writing got a lot of reactions out of his classmates. Killua could hear the laughing at Midoriya's display, see the smiles about how dorky he was, and see how awestruck some were by what he was mumbling. "His Quirk has to do with electricity, but he has excellent control at such a young age to the point where most pro heroes aren't even capable of doing the things he can do. He can surround his body with electricity, which greatly improves his running speed. Attacking from a distance would be a good countermeasure to this, but through the ball throw test he displayed that he might also be capable of using long range attacks himself…"

"Deku, shut your mumbling!" Bakugo entered the class and promptly shut Midoriya up. The green haired teen's face turned pink, and then Uraraka came up to him and made it worse because it turned red.

"Eh? Are you alright?" she asked with big eyes, unaware that she was part of the cause for his face turning red.

"Midoriya! Your face is red, are you feeling sick?" The concern in Iida's voice was so thick. How Iida could be so oblivious, nobody knew. They all wondered the same thing, and even Kaminari whispered very quietly over Iida's reaction.

"A-ah, n-n-noo…I'm fi-fine, th-thanks for asking…" Taking a deep breath, Midoriya calmed down and regained his ability to speak.

Bakugo snorted and walked past to his desk, which was in the same column as Killua. He peered through the gap between Kirishima and Kaminari and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Oi, you pale kid, you think you're so high and mighty?" Bakugo yelled at Killua.

Kirishima turned around. "Oh, hey Bakugo!" He waved cheerfully at the angry ash blond.

"Shut up Shark Teeth! I'm talking to the pale guy!" He stomped towards the desk, fists at his sides, and Kaminari decided to step away before things got dangerous.

However, Kirishima stood there, offended by Bakugo's nickname. Bakugo stopped right in front of the redhead, gritting his teeth and waiting for him to move. "Bro, that's not nice. I know my teeth are pointy, but you didn't have to point it out in that way."

"I don't care. Move. Or I'll blow you up!" He leaned forward and threw his hands up, and small explosions began to pop threateningly.

"Uh…okay…" he replied hesitantly and moved out of the way. Ashido wisely moved aside as well.

"Now you need to explain yourself!" Killua could see Bakugo's face twitching with rage, ready to blow him up. While he was not scared, he was wary of the fact that Bakugo's Explosion Quirk was, more than likely, Nen. That meant it could actually injure him pretty bad, even through Killua's Ten. If Quirks were not Nen, Killua would not be worried at all.

"Are you not gonna say anything?!" The loud and obnoxious voice reminded Killua of his current situation. "You got fifth in the entrance exam, but then you got second behind Ponytail yesterday?! Answer me, were you looking down on me?!" Explosions popped up behind the explosive teenager where his hands now rested at his sides.

Killua merely offered a shrug. "Don't have anything to explain. You're getting angry for something so small."

That further enraged the boy in front of him. Midoriya took that as the time to give his input. "Zoldyck, I, I d-don't think it-it's a good idea to m-m-make Kacchan mad. He gets violent."

"Call me Killua. And thanks for your concern, but I can handle him." Killua made that remark specifically to anger Bakugo more.

The explosions rippled more, hands slowly rising to Killua's eye level, but then they stopped suddenly. "Already trying to start fights, Bakugo?" a new, tired voice entered the conversation. The yellow sleeping bag from before was back, and the bright colour protruded from the rest of the colours in class. Killua took this moment to use Gyo and check what happened to Bakugo's Quirk. It seems Aizawa's Quirk: Erasure forced the target into Zetsu. Fascinating.

"Zoldyck, Principal Nezu told me he wants to have a word with you right now, so go meet him in his office. Shouldn't take long." Aizawa's facial expression remained unchanged, so Killua did not have the slightest clue as to whether the talk would be good or bad. He hoped he had not gotten caught for the forgery, but oh well. He had his story memorized in his head.

Killua nodded and got up to find Nezu's office. It did not take long. There was a big door the same size as the entrance to his own class 1-A with a sign written outside saying 'Principal's Office'. Killua knocked on the closed door and sensed someone moving behind. The door opened and he was met with the sight of an animal that looked like something he would find in his own world - a hybrid animal, such as a foxbear.

"I'm guessing you're Principal Nezu?" Killua asked. Nezu nodded happily.

"Come inside, Young Zoldyck, and take a seat." Killua followed the principal to his desk and noted it looked mostly plain. There was not much on his desk. "Would you like something to drink? Water or tea?" Killua shook his head for a no. Even still, Nezu had his own tea cup in front of him.

"Alright, well, the reason I called you here, Young Zoldyck, is because I found out your application was forged. It was fake." He took a sip of his tea and looked at the teen's expression. To his surprise, Killua's expression stayed the same.

"No comment? No reaction?" Nezu tried provoking a response.

Killua only shrugged his shoulders. "You know what you're doing. It might've taken you a while because you couldn't figure that out before sending me an offer for U.A., but you did it now. I wasn't going to lie and tell you it wasn't fake, even though you clearly know it is."

"But you can lie about your background, your education?" Nezu retorted right back without missing a beat. "This is a serious legal offense, Young Zoldyck. You're lucky I haven't already informed the police." The look on Nezu's face was stern with furrowed eyebrows and no indication of a smile or frown. However, there was something hidden underneath that stern appearance that told Killua the principal wanted to know something before deciding what to do with him.

"So then why haven't you? And also, please call me Killua."

Nezu sat back in his seat, hands held out to grasp his tea cup. Killua had Nezu stumped. I cannot get a read on this boy. I thought that any child in his position would be nervous, or scared, or begging to not be expelled. But he is completely relaxed. Why?

"Because, Killua, I would like to give you a chance to explain yourself first," Nezu told him and took a sip of tea to calm his rising anxiety.

"So you want to know why my application was forged?"

Nezu nodded. "And also your real background, not the one that was written in your application."

He considered the offer for a moment before speaking again. "Alright. I don't think you'll like my real background at all, but if you need to hear it, I'll say it."

"Please do so. No matter what it is, I need to hear it to make a decision."

Killua took a deep breath before launching into his barely practiced monologue backstory. "I was born and raised by a family of assassins. As I'm sure you know, assassination is illegal and is an underground profession. Because it was underground, and thus my entire family was hiding from the law, there are no legal records of my family or myself. I didn't know how I was supposed to apply for a high school if I didn't have any legal background, so I had it forged."

Several questions and red flags popped up in Nezu's head as he listened to the story. But there was one question he wanted an answer for more than the others. "And why exactly did you want to attend high school, much less the Hero course at U.A.?"

"I didn't want that life anymore. I wanted a normal life normal kids would have. I think people deserve second chances, and that's what Japan's laws believe as well." Nezu no longer furrowed his eyebrows. Instead, he nodded his head several times, as if to say, 'Yeah, you are right.' "I'm trying to think of this as my second chance to make a more meaningful impact in the lives of society."

There were so many things that did not quite add up in Nezu's mind. He had many questions, but some were still more pressing than others. "What happened to your first chance?"

Something in Killua's expression changed, and Nezu was finally able to study something other than the calm and relaxed visage on the teenager's face. He looked a little hesitant, almost uneasy based on the way his eyes looked down and his mouth hesitated before speaking. Really, though, it was all a part of Killua's act. "If I told you I participated in assassination missions, would I be arrested?"

Nezu considered the question for a bit, one he was sure was not hypothetical. From that question, Nezu would bet that Killua had killed people - or at the very least, he had attempted to. That was a crime, and a very serious one. This is a tough question to answer. There are a lot of other factors one would have to consider before answering that. How he was born into an unfortunate situation, if he is indeed telling the truth. He could have been forced into doing assassin missions.

"To be honest, I do not think I am capable of answering that question, Killua," Nezu began. Killua tilted his head in genuine confusion, so Nezu explained further. "That is because I am not a part of Japan's law enforcement. Somebody else would have to judge you on that. But I still have some other questions about you. If what you are telling me is true, then it is likely you have committed crimes. I would have to report you to the police. However, I also believe in second chances, just like you do. I am willing to give you a second chance, and allow you to stay at U.A. as long as I know your intentions are good. Is that clear?"

Killua accepted the offer, so Nezu continued. "What is your intention for coming here? I know you said you want to have a meaningful impact in people's lives, but why the sudden change? Assassins and heroes are very different people, I would assume."

Nezu was spot on about that. "You're right, they are very different. But a few years ago, I ran away from my family. I made a friend who didn't care that I used to be an assassin. He was my first friend, and my best friend." The fond look on his face, the lowered eyebrows, the small smile, it was everything Nezu needed to know this was a real friendship – assuming Killua was telling the truth. This was one of few moments during the conversation where Killua was not acting.

"He showed me many new things, and helping people was one of them. That was what changed me. The change inside me was that I realized helping people is way better than killing them. And what better way to help people, than to come to the best Hero course in Japan?" The nonsense he just spit out made him want to laugh. Gon had taught him a lot of things, sure, but saving or helping people was not really on the top of that, even if Gon had taught him a bit about caring for living things. But, this was a necessity. He had to say these things to avoid getting expelled or arrested. Getting arrested could...complicate their plans. Does he buy any of this? All of this? I can't get a read on him! This is annoying.

Nezu hummed and considered the information Killua gave. "Alright, Killua. I accept your goals and motivations. But, I need to know your intention. Do you plan on hurting any staff or students during your time at U.A.?"

Killua shook his head. "Not at all. That's not what I came here for."

Nezu accepted his answer and told him to go back to his class. Homeroom was just about finished by the time the two were done talking. An ex-assassin...we will have to keep an eye on him, Nezu thought. And now for the next boy.

Nezu messaged Kan to send Gon to his office. The boy came shortly and was pleasantly surprised to see an animal as the head of the school. Gon was trying to compare Nezu to the hybrid animals in his own world when Nezu interrupted his thoughts.

"Hello, Young Freecss, please take a seat. Would you like water or tea to drink?" Nezu started off the same way as he did with Killua.

"Nice to meet you, Principal Nezu! And no thanks, I'm fine right now! And also please call me Gon." The boy beamed at him with a wide smile, but Nezu could hear the underlying anxiety the boy had.

"Alright, Gon. The reason I called you here is because I found your application to apply to U.A. was forged. I would like to know why you felt the need to lie and include fake information on it."

Gon immediately darted his eyes around the room, anywhere but at Nezu. His anxiety rose tenfold. "Uh, before I answer that, Principal Nezu, did you talk to Killua before me? Or maybe you will after me?"

Nezu raised an eyebrow. So the two were together on this? That was the conclusion Nezu drew from the question, but he did not know if he should lie to the teen or not. In a second, he decided his answer. "I talked to him right before you."

Gon shuffled back in his seat and blew out some air after that piece of information. "Okay, good. I'm not a good liar. I think you would catch me lying if I lied. So, I will tell you the truth." Nezu looked very interested, elbow propped up on the desk with his hand at his chin. Gon eyed the body language before continuing. "I don't know exactly what Killua told you, but I have an idea. We talked about this yesterday." When Nezu raised an eyebrow at what Gon meant by "this", Gon elaborated. "I mean what we would say if we got caught. He told me what he'd say, about how he was raised by assassins. But there's one thing he probably didn't tell you that I will."

Nezu was wondering what on earth Gon was going to say. He sucked his breath in when he heard it. "Killua and I are not from this world."

Well, that was the last thing Nezu was expecting. In fact, he was not expecting that at all. The possibility never crossed his mind, and could anyone blame him?

Nezu needed some more information to go off of. "That is a very...interesting claim, Gon. I am not quite so sure I believe it. Quite frankly, that is nearly impossible to believe."

Gon scowled, wondering why Nezu would question his revelation. "I knew you might not, but doesn't that explain why we forged our applications?"

For the first time in a very long time, Nezu froze up while talking to a student. When it came out of Gon's mouth, it sounded like the most obvious thing in the world. It actually made sense that the boys would forge their application because they had no background in this world. But the notion that Gon and Killua were from a different world was just...hard to believe and swallow. An unsettling feeling in Nezu's stomach made itself known.

"That does make sense, Gon. You are right. But saying something like that does not help me much. If anything, it raises many more questions. You say that's one thing you know he didn't tell me. Does this mean everything else was planned? How does he come up with such a story?"

Gon chuckled, surprising Nezu. He was not sure if he was ready to hear the answer from the teen. "Killua didn't come up with that story, Principal Nezu. That is his background. Well, mostly, I think. Depending on what exactly he told you. He was an assassin raised by assassins, except that was in our world, not this one."

There it was again. The weird feeling Nezu got in his stomach after hearing Gon casually talk about how they were from a different world. "Sorry, this other world stuff is still hard to believe. Do you mind explaining how you and Killua came to this world?"

Gon nodded and started rambling. "Sure! So Killua was exploring the world with his sister, and the three of us met up as a get together because it had been months since I last saw him. But then," Gon frowned as he thought of the memory…

Flashback

"Killua!" Killua heard Gon's voice from afar and saw the green haired boy waving. Right now, he and Alluka were at the top of a hill under a big tree. His best friend, a bit in the distance, was sprinting up the last couple of hills to reach where he stood.

Within a minute, Gon had ran up the big hill and reunited with Killua. Alluka gave Gon a hug, which the other teen was happy to return. Then he gave a fond glance to Killua, and the two smiled at each other before hugging as well. Killua did not really like physical contact unless it was in combat, but Gon and Alluka were the exceptions to that.

"You finally got taller," Killua remarked with a smirk.

"What do you mean 'finally'? We were the same height up until now! Now you're a bit taller!" His friend took the tease seriously.

Killua laughed out loud. "Look at your hair! It always added so much height to you, that's why we looked the same height!" The two started laughing, and Alluka watched on the sides and smiled. Seeing her brother be happy because of someone else besides her was one of her biggest goals in life.

Suddenly, both boys felt something in their senses. They stopped, tensed, and looked up to the sky. They saw a golden dragon, and Killua immediately recognized it. He knew the unsettling feeling he felt was going to be right. The dragon disappeared, and three figures fell and landed in front of them: Zeno, Silva, and Illumi. Three members of the Zoldyck family.

Gon and Killua grit their teeth. "Sorry to disturb your reunion, Kil," Illumi started. "But we need to take you back home, where you belong."

"How'd you find us?" Killua growled at his family, completely ignoring what Illumi said.

"We've been tracking you for a while," Silva replied patiently. "Not just us three, but some other people as well. We need you and…" he trailed off as he regarded the frowning face of Alluka, his only daughter. "We want that thing back too." Alluka frowned more at her father's choice of words. "It's time you have your training to become heir to the Zoldyck family. We have waited for too long."

"I'm not going back!" Killua shouted. Even though he was angry, he kept his Nen under control. A fight with the Zoldycks was the last thing he wanted.

"And I won't let you take him!" Everyone felt Gon's aura flaring up, but Killua stared at Gon, eyes begging to keep his aura more controlled. Prodigies they were, the two boys were smart enough to know they could not beat three much more experienced Nen users. Zeno did not say anything yet, and he did not plan to. He merely looked between his son and grandsons in interest, wondering where the conversation would go.

Silva gave a small glance to Gon. "He's still alive? I'm impressed you haven't left him to die yet, Killua. Maybe you did deserve some friends, but that was in the past. You don't need him or any other friends. Illumi, knock the other boy out."

Before Illumi could act, Alluka spoke up and joined the conversation, causing Illumi to freeze and not carry out what Silva asked of him. "Killua, I'm so happy for you, and for myself. I'm so happy we were able to act like siblings these last months. I won't let our family ruin the good moments you had. You and Gon, are friends forever. I won't let them take that away from you. Goodbye, Killua. Thank you, for everything." She had tears in her eyes, but her face transformed into Nanika. The area around them lit up, and then Gon and Killua woke up in a city far away.

Flashback End

"We barely met for a few minutes, and then Killua's family wanted to take him back home so he could train to become their heir," Gon explained, still frowning. Nezu noticed the boy's voice carried a twinge of anger at the mention of Killua's family. "His sister has some really crazy powers. She can grant wishes or something, I don't understand it myself. But somehow, she sent us to this world to protect us from Killua's family. That's how we ended up here."

Nezu thought hard over this information. This was unprecedented news in U.A. history. Not just in U.A., but in Japan and probably the world as a whole. There had never been any confirmation of beings from another world.

Yet here he was, apparently having met not one but two beings from another world. His curiosity was getting to his head, and he wanted to learn more about them, but that was not right. They were students at his school, not lab rats. "Well, Gon, this was a lot to take in. I just want to ask a couple more questions and then you can leave. First of all, can you make sure you have no intentions of hurting any of the staff or students at U.A.?"

With a nod, Gon spoke. "I promise I won't! That's not what I'm here for. In fact, we just want to get back home, and being a hero might be the easiest way. We can get lots of information and learn about Quirks easily if we become heroes. But it also takes a long time, so I'm not sure what to do…"

Nezu wanted to help the boys, but he truly had no idea how. A Quirk that sends people to a different world? Nezu thought. I have heard of Quirks that can teleport people between places, but between worlds and dimensions? I have never heard of such a thing. "I want to help you, so I will do my best in doing some research for your problem. My second question is, would you be okay if I told other staff members about this talk?"

Gon hesitated, eyes looking away. It was obvious his brain was thinking of something else at the moment. "Umm…I think I should ask Killua first. I think he'll yell at me for telling you, but I think he'll understand. I'll ask him after school and then let you know tomorrow. Is that okay, Principal Nezu?"

"Yes, that is. Very well then. You are free to go back to class, Gon."


On his way to class, Killua was thinking of an easy lie to tell his classmates if they asked him what Principal Nezu wanted to talk about. As he entered 1-A, All Might was announcing information about hero costumes and battle trials. The class was shaking and had grins all over as they turned their attention to the one who rejoined their class. Expressionless, Killua walked to his desk and took a seat.

"Killua! What did Principal Nezu want to talk about?" Kaminari shouted out for the whole class to hear, alerting even those who did not know where Killua went about the situation.

"Now now, it is not the time to be asking questions! Put on your hero costumes and meet me at Grounds B!" With those few words, All Might ran off for some reason, but only Midoriya knew that All Might had to preserve his buffed form.

Killua observed his hero costume as he held it in his hand. It was really plain in comparison to some other costumes in his class, but not standing out was not an issue. Otherwise, Killua was impressed by how it turned out. It showed that U.A. did not mess around.

His signature long-sleeve white and blue turtleneck was made using conductive polyester. Polyester on its own is not very electrically conductive, but it can be coated with a metal that is, and that is what his shirt was made of. In the center of his chest was a small, blue lightning bolt for design purposes. The rest of the blue on his shirt was on the turtleneck itself, and the sleeves that extend beyond where a short-sleeve shirt would stop.

With the shirt came his purple shorts which was also made of the same material as his shirt. Around his waist, he clipped a belt that had four empty holsters. Two were supposed to be for his yo-yos, but he only had one which was currently in his room at the motel. He had learned that weapons were not allowed with hero costumes for students to use at school until second year. However, they could be used during hero internships, but that would not happen for a while so Killua had not bothered asking for the Support Department to make a new yo-yo. The other two holsters were supposed to be for tasers so he could recharge his electricity if needed. He really only needed one, but he put two for symmetry purposes.

As he finished looking and feeling his hero costume, he raised his eyebrows and curved his lips upwards. He headed over to the change room to wear it.

"So man, what was the principal asking you?" Killua heard Kaminari's cheerful voice behind him. They were walking towards Grounds B as All Might had told them.

"I just had some questions to ask him about the school and the area. Nothing serious. He didn't have time when I first asked, so we scheduled this meeting." Killua wore a standard pokerface, and did not miss a breath or stumble on his words as he spoke.

"Ah, that's cool," Kirishima had his ears out too. "Hey, isn't your costume a little plain?"

"It is, but I don't mind. I don't need to be flashy." Killua smirked, recalling the differences between his classmates and himself. "My Quirk does that for me."

Both the other boys laughed. "Did you hear what we're doing?" When Killua shook his head, Kaminari continued. "We're doing a heroes vs villains battle simulation. It's fighting! I'm so hyped!"

Killua and Kirishima chuckled at the blond's antics. They soon arrived, and All Might explained the rules: 2v2 combat in one building. The hero team starts outside, and the villain team starts inside. The villain team has to guard their nuclear weapon for the full duration of 15 minutes or capture both heroes with capture tape. The heroes had to touch the weapon or capture the villains with the capture tape. The teams would be randomized.

"Here are the teams!" All Might bellowed over the class.

"Team A: Izuku Midoriya and Ochako Uraraka

Team B: Mezo Shoji and Shoto Todoroki

Team C: Momo Yaoyorozu and Minoru Mineta

Team D: Katsuki Bakugo and Tenya Iida

Team E: Yuga Aoyama and Mina Ashido

Team F: Rikido Sato and Toru Hagakure

Team G: Denki Kaminari and Kyoka Jirou

Team H: Tsuyu Asui and Fumikage Tokoyami

Team I: Mashirao Ojiro and Killua Zoldyck

Team J: Ejiro Kirishima and Hanta Sero"

"First up we will have Team A vs Team D! Please take the capture tape from me and move to your starting positions!"

Midoriya shook as he took his steps with Uraraka, and Bakugo was grinning like a madman, no doubt ready to destroy Midoriya's existence.

The fight took quite a while, and the injuries that Bakugo gave to Midoriya made it clear that there was something personal behind their fighting. Midoriya's own Quirk injured him, too. Killua bet that the destructive power of Midoriya alongside Uraraka's Quirk could be very helpful for the hero team, but Uraraka was not able to do much without her partner. Eventually, Midoriya made a surprising move to destroy the ceiling, and he was almost directly below the nuclear weapon. Uraraka distracted Iida by floating some debris at him, and then she touched the weapon to win.

"Hero team wins! Everyone please come back here, but Young Midoriya, if you are too injured then please go see Recovery Girl!" The excitement in All Might's voice was palpable, but then again, he always sounded excited when he was booming that loud voice of his.

Yaoyorozu swiftly analyzed the fight by saying Iida was MVP because... Killua was tuning himself out and to think of what would happen if Nezu actually called the police on him and he got arrested. The thoughts got shook out of his head when he heard All Might announce his name. He and Ojiro were up against Shoji and Todoroki, with Killua and Ojiro being the villains.

"So...your Quirk is your tail, right? You can use it like a limb?" he asked Ojiro as the preparation time started.

Ojiro nodded to Killua's question. "I practice martial arts, so I'd say I'm pretty good at close quarter fighting. I've learned to implement my tail in martial arts too. What about you?"

Ojiro was watching as Killia gave a demonstration of his Quirk by spreading some electricity between his fingertips. "I can use electricity. I have good control of it, better than most people, or so I've been told. I can spread it around my body to make myself move faster, and use it from a distance."

The blond martial artist nodded his head multiple times and gave a thin smile. "That's really good control. I don't hear about many people who can control electricity that well. Anyways, Shoji's Quirk is that he has those extra arms. I don't know what else he can do with it, though."

"And Todoroki can use ice, right?" Killua asked to confirm.

"Yeah, but he can also use fire, but he said he won't," Ojiro recalled from a conversation he overheard yesterday. "He's a recommended student, so he probably has crazy control over it. We need to watch out for both of them."

Killua's jaw fell. "Seriously? He can use ice and fire? If he doesn't use his fire, though, that should be easy. What do you think our plan should be? I'm fine with just staying here and waiting for them, to be honest."

The blond raised his eyebrows with a quizzical look. "Don't think that's a good idea. We don't want them to get too close to us. You can use range, you said?"

Killua nodded. "I can, but I don't want to hurt them too badly. If I use too much, it might knock them out for a long time."

Ojiro considered what Killua was saying. "Alright, I'll stay a floor down, and you can stay up here. I fight best when I'm close, anyways."

"ALRIGHT! Start the exercise!" All Might yelled into their earpieces.

Killua spent some sweet time looking around the building for possible openings the hero team could use. They did not look like wall climbers, but he was not going to take chances. It was only a minute later that he heard something that sounded like broken glass mixed in with rushing water approaching. Moments later, he felt the temperature drop, and his vision was filled with an ice-covered room. The nuclear weapon was frozen too.

A little bit of ice isn't going to stop me, Killua thought confidently. I could use electricity to burn it, but that would use a lot of energy for no reason. I'll just wait for whoever comes up.

Killua perched himself on a window ledge as he waited for his opponent, or opponents. As part of his assassin training when he was younger, he had to have good mobility on all types of terrain, and ice was one of them.

A minute later, Killua heard the sound of crunching ice underneath heavy boots from near the doorway. Todoroki entered with his right side covered in white clothing, and his left side had a detachable material that looked like his ice.

"Oh, you aren't frozen like the other guy?" Todoroki asked with a raised eyebrow. He eyed the other teen squatting on a window ledge he had failed to freeze. Killua watched as cold breath escaped from Todoroki's mouth when he talked.

"Nah, I wouldn't make it that easy for you," Killua replied with droopy eyes to mock the heterochromatic teen. The two sized each other up for a couple seconds before making any moves.

Killua blasted off the ledge he was squatting on to approach Todoroki with a hand coated in electricity. "Lightning Palm!" he shouted out.

Todoroki narrowed his eyes and used his right side to hastily bring an ice wall up from his right leg. Killua's attack smashed the thin ice wall into a million pieces, but it gave Todoroki some much needed time.

In the little time Killua took to break the wall, Todoroki jumped back to put some distance between himself and his opponent. I'm a long range fighter, Todoroki thought as he planned his next move. Getting close to Zoldyck is bad because his electricity can shock me. I didn't think he would still be able to move after freezing the building, but I should've expected that considering he was one of two who beat me in yesterday's results.

Killua blasted a low-powered lightning bolt towards Todoroki. The heterochromatic teen was unable to block the attack in time and got shocked. It knocked him unconscious instantly. Next, Killua wrapped Todoroki up with the capture tape. All Might had made the rule that once you get captured you cannot break out of it. Taking a moment to activate Gyo, Killua realized what the ice was. A mixture of Emission with some Transmutation. This could've gone a lot worse.

Dashing out of the room to find Ojiro, he found the other teen unable to move with thick ice covering his feet. With a couple slashes, Killua broke the ice.

"Thanks," Ojiro said in a grateful voice. "That was getting really cold. I'm barefoot right now."

Killua tried not to roll his eyes. He did not even care to ask why Ojiro was barefoot. "Come on, Shoji is waiting for us."

Ojiro's eyes widened at the implication. "You beat Todoroki? Even after he froze the entire building?" The tailed teen did not show it, but he was very impressed.

"Yeah, just knocked him out with some electricity, then I wrapped him in the capture tape." The way Killua did not even pause or change his tone made Ojiro wonder if Todoroki was even a challenge.

Back in the viewing room, everyone watched in complete silence. At first, even All Might lost a lot of hope for Killua and Ojiro. Then they watched as Killua avoided getting frozen and proceeded to knock Todoroki out with seemingly no effort.

"Woah, Killua is so fast!" Ashido exclaimed.

"He is very strong, he broke the ice around Ojiro like it was nothing!" Iida stared at the screen with his mouth open even after finishing his sentence.

"Settle down, we will see how the rest of their exercise goes," All Might said, his mouth forming into a thin, closed line.

Ojiro had some trouble walking around on the ice in barefoot, so Killua decided he would carry the blond to Shoji.

The big, muscular, multi-arm teen was waiting outside the entrance of the building. Ojiro went in close to fight, and both seemed skilled at close quarter fighting.

Ojiro started out with a roundhouse kick with his right foot, but Shoji bent his head backwards to avoid getting hit. He warily spared a glance at Killua, who had a smile and was content in simply watching the two fight with his hands in his pockets. He had already decided that if things got a little tough for Ojiro, he would step in to help. But, until then, he was happy to watch.

"What's Zoldyck doing?" Kyoka Jirou asked no one in particular.

"I don't understand why he's just standing there, ribbit," Tsuyu Asui added with a contemplative look.

"He should help Ojiro!" Kirishima shouted out loud and grit his sharp teeth.

Meanwhile, Bakugo was gritting his teeth and venting from his loss to Midoriya at the back of the room. He watched as the half-and-half bastard froze the entire damn building, and it looked hopeless for Pale Kid and Tail. But then Pale Kid turned out to be completely fine and beat IcyHot in just one or two attacks. "He's playing with him," he growled at the screen as he read Killua's body language. "He wants to see Tail and Six Arms fight it out first. He's being overconfident."

"Isn't that like you? Overconfident?" Minoru Mineta asked with a smug grin. As Bakugo shot an explosive glare at Mineta, the smugness turned into terror.

"Woah man, I've never seen you be so rational!" Kirishima was gushing over Bakugo, which caused a vein to pop on the explosive blond's face on top of what Mineta already said. "I thought you were always angry and wanted to kill everything!"

"What's that, you side character?! You wanna go?!" Bakugo roared at the shortest boy in the class. "And you!" Bakugo turned towards Kirishima. "I'M ALWAYS RATIONAL, SHARK TEETH, AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!"

"Ah that's more like the Bakugo we know!" Sero exclaimed with a huge grin.

"Shut it, Soy Sauce Face!" Bakugo spat at Sero, leaving the black haired boy wondering with a "huh?"

"Jeez, talk about being loud," Jirou muttered as she massaged her ears.

Shoji connected the dots about Killua: he would not enter the fight unless Ojiro looked like he might lose. The tallest boy in the class brought two of his six arms, one from either side, towards Ojiro to grab him.

Ojiro recognized the movement and mistakenly held onto both arms. That was a mistake Shoji did not forgive. With both of Ojiro's arms holding two of Shoji's, the bigger boy brought all four of his remaining arms to grab the blond.

The tailed teen, knowing he was in a bit of a tight spot, bent backwards and used his tail and left leg to balance his whole body while still holding two of Shoji's arms. With his right leg, he gave a powerful kick to Shoji's chest, and it was enough to push him back and let go of Shoji's arms. He spun around and attacked with his tail. All three of Shoji's arms on his left side blocked the attack, then the other three grabbed Ojiro during the time the martial artist was trying to recover and harshly tossed him into the wall.

That was when Killua stepped in. He shot a bolt of lightning at Shoji and knocked him out too. It was too easy. He knew how much Nen he needed to use to take out someone like Shoji. He used a lot less for Todoroki. Killua carefully wrapped the capture tape around Shoji and All Might announced in their earpieces, "Villain team wins!"


Gon was bursting with so much energy he could hardly wait. After changing into his very basic hero costume consisting of a green shirt and shorts, he sprinted to Grounds A as Present Mic told Class 1-B they were going to do indoor combat training. From the outside, Grounds A looked much the same as Grounds B.

"Alrighty everyone, here are the teams!" Present Mic shouted out after he explained the rules to the class.

"Team A: Manga Fukidashi and Sen Kaibara

Team B: Reiko Yanagi and Hiryu Rin

Team C: Juzo Honenuki and Shihai Kuroiro

Team D: Gon Freecss and Itsuka Kendo

Team E: Neito Monoma and Kojiro Bondo

Team F: Kinoko Kimori and Yosetsu Awase

Team G: Togaru Kamakiri and Yui Kodai

Team H: Juroto Shishida and Ibara Shiozaki

Team I: Pony Tsunotori and Setsuna Tokage

Team J: Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu and Kosei Tsuburaba"

"The first hero team will be Team E! And the villain team they'll be up against is Team G! Teams, take your capture tape and get to your positions!"

Gon beamed as Present Mic called the exercise to start. The hero team of Monoma and Bondo crept towards the building knowing the villain team did not have very useful Quirks in this scenario, but Bondo did.

Early on, the hero team underestimated the villain team. Kodai used her Quirk to make small objects bigger and more dangerous, and then both she and Kamakiri would push or throw them at Monoma and Bondo. When that got too boring or ineffective for Kamakiri, the hothead rushed in for close quarter fighting with blades at his forearms. He got some cuts on Bondo, but Monoma copied Bondo's Quirk to glue Kamakiri's feet to the floor and capture him. After that, overwhelming Kodai was easy enough between the two of them.

"Hero team wins! Yeah! Go heroes!" Present Mic shouted out before glancing at the remaining students. "I meant heroes in general. Not specifically this team, of course. I'm not allowed to show favouritism!"

After analyzing the two teams, Present Mic called out the next two teams. "This time, the hero team will be Team I! And the villain team will be Team F!"

The two teams prepared, and then the exercise started. Tokage and Tsunotori took off inside their building and ran into Kimori and Awase.

Tokage immediately split herself up into a dozen parts, and Tsunotori tried to use herself as a battering ram against Kimori. Kimori released a mushroom spore, and a mushroom sprung up in front of her to block the attack. Awase followed through to weld Tsunotori against the wall, but Tokage interfered and attacked Awase with several of her split parts. Attacked by some of the parts Tokage split herself into, Awase held the wall and some of the split parts and fused them together. Tokage was unable to reform completely, and she did not want to regenerate as that took up too much energy.

Tsunotori launched two horns at Awase, realizing he was the more problematic fake villain. Eventually, Kimori got a spore inside Tsunotori's body, so the mushroom grew and knocked her out. Awase faced off against a weakened Tokage and overpowered her, welding the rest of her body to the wall. Both were unable to move and wrapped in capture tape, so the villain team won.

"Alright! Third match will be Team D as heroes and Team C as villains! Get ready!" Present Mic kept shouting.

Gon was itching for a good fight. "Kendo, what's your Quirk?" he asked the ginger haired girl with teal eyes.

Kendo gave a bright smile. "My Quirk is called Big Fist. I can make my fists larger at will to various sizes. When my hands are enlarged, they get much stronger. What about you?"

"My Quirk is called Boost. When I use it, it improves my speed and strength by a lot!"

Kendo nodded, a plan forming in her head. "We're both close quarter fighters. I think Honenuki might be a problem, then. He can mess around with our footing by softening the ground.

Gon had a curious look. "He can make things softer?" Kendo nodded. "That's cool! This should be fun!"

Kendo raised an eyebrow at Gon's choice of words. Fun was not exactly how she would describe hero classes, but to each their own. The path to becoming a hero was a difficult and dangerous one. "I don't know much about Kuroiro's Quirk. I know it's called Black, but watch out. I don't know what he can do with it."

Gon enthusiastically gave a nod. "Okay! Don't worry, we got this!"

"OKAY, STARTTT!" their teacher shouted in their earpieces, causing both of them to wince.

Gon dashed off, and Kendo struggled to keep pace until Gon craned his head and noticed she was trailing. "Freecss, do you not have a plan in mind? Are you just going to rush in?" The spiky green haired teen stopped at the entrance to the building and shrugged.

"I'm not sure what else to do," he replied. "And also, please call me Gon!"

"I think we should be more cautious of their Quirks. Honenuki can get us off guard pretty easily, and if Kuroiro is good at combat, it might be a difficult fight."

Sure enough, as soon as she finished that sentence, Kuroiro jumped out of nowhere and tackled Gon to the floor. Kendo gasped as she watched Gon push Kuroiro off. The reckless boy jumped at Kuroiro with a flying kick, but Kuroiro entered…a shadow? and grabbed Gon. He then took Gon for a run and sprinted away before Kendo could even react and get her partner back.

Taking breaths to not panic and be rash, Kendo thought of what she could do. I hope Gon will be okay. What am I saying, he came first place yesterday! He'll be strong enough to break out from Kuroiro. But, my first priority should be getting Gon back, in case he can't do that himself.

Kendo took another deep breath and entered the building. The first thing she felt was a sinking feeling. Not in her stomach, but at her feet. She was sinking. "Agh!" she groaned and thought of Honenuki being somewhere around the corner.

"Well, that was easy enough," Kendo heard Honenuki's voice and footsteps come closer. She glanced up at the armour-like black and orange bodysuit he wore and furrowed her eyebrows. Not wanting to be out so early, Kendo enlarged her hands to the maximum size she could handle and spread her arms out. She dug her strengthened fingers into the walls of the narrow hallway and lifted herself out of the softened floor. The floor reverted to normal.

"I'm impressed you got out so easily," Honenuki said, voice echoing within his mask. Kendo did not reply. Instead, she swung her enlarged fists at the teen, and the wind from her attacks launched him backwards.

Taking the opportunity to move on, she ran with a pounding heart as Honenuki got back to his feet.

Kendo found Gon on the third of the building's five floors. The green teen tried to hit Kuroiro multiple times, but the teen with black skin and white hair kept jumping from wall to wall and getting small hits on Gon.

Frowning and furrowing his eyebrows, Gon launched a ruthless kick at the wall and shattered the whole thing. Kuroiro came tumbling out of the wall, but just as Gon was about to punch the other teen, he and Kendo felt the floor turn to mud and fell in. Kuroiro was caught in the mud as well, but Honenuki came and reversed the effect on the part he lay. Getting their capture tape out, they were prepared for the win when Gon showed them they were getting ahead of themselves.

By focusing Ko in his legs, Gon blasted through the softened floor and landed on hard ground. He dashed in fury at a frozen Kuroiro and threw a punch with his right hand. Kuroiro was unable to react to the attack, and one punch was enough to send the white haired teen to the floor.

Next, Gon glared at Honenuki as the other teen gulped. Using his quick reflexes, Honenuki dodged a punch from Gon and got a weak kick on the green haired teen.

Thanks to his Ten, Gon felt no pain from the kick. It was at this point Gon remembered Kendo still stuck in the softened floor. With no wall to place one of her hands on because Gon destroyed it, she was unable to get out by herself. Feeling bad that he did not let her do much in this exercise, he ran over and stood at a position where if he got hit right now, there would be a small chance he would land on Kendo. As he looked at the floor, he discerned that there were two different colours on the floor.

Deciphering that one colour was the hard floor he currently stood on, and the other colour was the softened floor Kendo sank into, Gon reached his hands out and grabbed onto hers. Kendo had retracted her hands to normal size when she saw what Gon was doing.

Noticing Honenuki running towards Gon, Kendo's eyes widened, and Gon did not miss the change in her expression. He dropped her hands and turned around right as Honenuki rammed him into the wall. The floor unsoftened in that small area, but Kendo was still stuck in the ground.

Honenuki raised an armoured knee to Gon's stomach, but the green teen caught the knee with both hands. With Honenuki's momentum and balance in Gon's hands, he held an iron grip on the knee with his left hand and punched the fake villain with his right. The force smashed through the bodysuit and pushed the armoured teen past the broken wall into the room that was behind the wall where Kuroiro was getting up again.

Spotting his chance, Gon reached out to Kendo again and pulled her out. The floor returned to normal beneath her feet. Kendo thanked Gon and faced a shaky Kuroiro. Fists enlarged to maximum size, she swung her hands around, creating wind gusts that knocked the white haired teen off balance, causing him to fall back down.

Kendo wrapped Kuroiro in capture tape as Gon captured the barely moving Honenuki as well.

"Hero team wins!" Present Mic shouted in their earpieces.

"Yesss!" Gon shouted in triumph and raised his hands in the air. Kendo smiled at him.
