I'm alive! New readers, welcome. Old readers, I'm sorry XD
So yeah, new story. Basically a crossover between Fate and MHA. I'm mostly using the characters from Fate really with some of their abilities being turned into Quirks. So you don't need to know much about Fate to read this as I'll be trying my best to explain things. This story takes place before The License exam. So it is smack dab in the middle of canon.
For those that are curious about Breathe In, Breathe Out. Well, I haven't abandoned it yet, I'm planning to write the whole arc to finish first before posting it again. So sorry for the inconvenience.
Anyways on to the story!
[-]
Chapter 1
"We're meeting the second-year students?" Izuku asked with slight shock to his tone.
The class started murmuring to each other when they heard that, surprised to hear that they would meet their seniors for today's class.
"With the license exam coming near, the principal thought it would be best if you could meet and learn from your seniors. Just like you, they had also taken their license exam in their first years and all of them had passed on the first try." Aizawa explained, making them all gasp in surprise.
They had heard how hard the exam was, it was held biannually and each time the contents of the exams changed so that none of the hero schools could take advantage of it and be kept on their toes. It was still possible to pass the exam but passing it right on the first try requires a tremendous amount of effort.
"Now hurry up and change into your gym wear, meet me at Gym Gamma. That's where your seniors are waiting."
The class looked at each other confusingly before hurrying up to change into their gym wear, they don't want to make their sensei mad after all.
Hurrying over, the class all finally finished changing and gathered in front of gym gamma. As they walked over, some of them couldn't help but wonder about who or what kind of person their seniors could be.
"Have any of you guys met them?" Mina asked around.
"Not really, though I did get a glimpse of a few of them." Toru remarked, "They seemed pretty normal though a few of them do have this 'thing' on them."
"Thing?" Ochako tilted her head in confusion.
"Yeah, this 'thing'! It's kinda like they all have this aura around them."
"You mean the kind of like how amazing people have this aura around them?" Mina asked for confirmation, making Toru nod.
"Yeah like that! They all seemed rather normal but you could feel how intense they are if you look closely."
"Come to think of it, didn't Aizawa-sensei teach them last year?" Iida asked, making everyone blink in thought.
"You don't think it's because of Aizawa-sensei don't you?" Momo asked, making Iida nod.
"It's the only logical explanation, Aizawa-sensei must have trained them really hard in their first years for them to have such a visible aura." Iida confidently stated, making everyone hum in agreement.
"Man, now I'm kinda nervous. I don't want to screw up my first impression if they sound this cool." Kaminari sweated, looking a bit nervous.
"Just don't turn into Jamming whey and you'd be fine. Besides, I don't think you'd have anything good to show off anyways." Jirou snickered.
"Thanks, Jir– Hey!" Kaminari exclaimed, a bit affronted by her much to the other's amusement.
"I'm just excited to see what kind of beauties there are among them, wonder if they wou– ack!" Mineta's words were stopped short, Tsu's tongue already slapped him upside the head.
"Man and here I thought you already learned your lesson," Sero shook his head in disappointment.
"Won't they at least appear at the Sports Festival? Midoriya, you watched the ones last year, right? Can you tell us about them?" Momo asked him, making him freeze up under the sudden attention.
"M-me?! O-ok. Uuuh, I think the first years' winners were one of them. She was pretty powerful, there was also a lot of speculation about what her quirk was since she asked not to make it public but her level of strength was something even the heroes said could rival All Might." Izuku recited, remembering last year's festival.
"Seriously?!" They all gasped, making him nod.
"Yeah, I think there were also others but she was the first one that came to mind," Izuku remarked as his mind goes back to his own quirk, One For All.
To know that there was a quirk that might be able to contend against One For All did surprise him, but then he remembered there was a theory about how quirks can get stronger every generation. So that might have played a part.
Izuku then looked around him, he could see how most of his classmates had also seemed rather shaken from the knowledge. To know that they have a senior that strong has made them all even more nervous about meeting them.
"Ah, we're here." Iida pointed out, snapping them out of their reverie.
The class now stood before the gym building with trepidation, in front of it they could see Aizawa waiting for them.
"You're here on time, good. Now come on, we don't have time to waste." Aizawa remarked before ushering them in.
Izuku couldn't help but narrow his eyes a bit when he saw how hurried his sensei was. Was it just him or was he nervous to be here?
Izuku immediately shook that thought away, no way. That man had fought waves of villains without even breaking a sweat, there's no way he's nervous from meeting their seniors, students that he had taught last year. Just the mere thought of Aizawa getting scared was ridiculous in his eyes. He was sure even his classmates would agree.
They walked through the door and saw…students playing volleyball?
"Nice serve!"
"Chance ball!"
Indeed, the seniors were currently playing volleyball inside the spacious gym. They didn't really make multiple arenas since they were the only ones that could be seen. By the net, there was a large chair that allows you to watch over the net, where Midnight sat as she refereed the match.
The ball could be seen being passed around and went towards a girl with light-colored pink hair, the most eye-catching aspect of her being her grey eyes which have her pupils looking like snowflakes. The class could see the ball was a bit low for her to receive properly.
"Dammit, sorry Fuwa!" The student that sent it to her apologized.
The girl, Fuwa apparently, merely smirked as she crouched down instead. Her hands primed to push it towards…an empty space?
"I got this, Emiya-kun!" She called out, right as a red blur ran past her and jumped.
The ball was raised high up in the air from the push and yet the red blur was high enough in the air to spike it, causing the air to be pushed back as a resounding 'SPANG' could be heard from the act itself.
The ball sped past the players and slammed into their side, making them widen their eyes in shock.
"And that's the final point! Team Emiya wins!" Midnight called out, making the team cheer.
"Yeah!"
"Way to go you two!"
"Goddamn, as reliable as ever."
"It was nothing really," Fuwa chuckled, "Gotta thank Emiya for being able to draw my abilities out as a setter. He can be really fast."
"It was nothing," A voice sounded behind them, making them look toward the source. "You know how useful my quirk can be after all."
There stood Emiya himself, his spiky red hair paired with his amber eyes gave him quite the attractive look. Currently, the young man was shirtless, revealing his sweaty but toned body to all. However, if anyone looks closely they could see a few scars around his body as well.
"Dammit, Shirou! Why the hell are you shirtless!?" A voice asked out with an irritated look, looking towards the source, they could see the annoyed but flustered visage of their Class Rep, glaring at them with her ice-blue eyes right behind the net.
Tohsaka Rin had done her raven black hair up in her usual pigtails but she had also opened up her gym uniform and was wearing only the gym pants and the black sweatshirt beneath. However, her outfit did not hide at all how curvy she was. She might not have been well developed but it was clear she was still rather perky for her age. She was their team's opponent currently.
"Ah? Luvia said it was best if I was shirtless since I didn't wear anything under my gym uniform. She thought it might get stuffy and hamper me." Shirou replied with an innocent look, "Is there something wrong with it?"
"Yes, there's something wrong with it!" Rin exclaimed with an embarrassed look. "Y-y-you're distracting us! Yeah, because of you being shirtless we couldn't play our best!"
"Ignore her Sherou, she's just mad that she lost." Another voice, a bit regal and haughty this time, sounded out. Revealing Luviagelita Edelfelt standing beside Shirou with a smug look as she stared at Rin. Her accent is a bit thick as she calls out Shirou's name.
Luvia has twin drilled blond hair paired with deep blue eyes, her skin was fair and she looked foreign. She was one of two students that had transferred from England and into UA and it was commonly known how fierce her rivalry was with Rin. Unlike Rin, however, Luvia was very blessed in the bodies department, toned body yet having enough curves to show off. A fact that she rubbed on Rin happily.
"You damn haughty bitch!" Rin gritted her teeth together before she looked to the side, "Artoria say something!"
Right beside Rin was Artoria Pendragon. The young woman herself was very gifted. Even surpassing Luvia, she could even make Momo feel a bit insecure about herself. She currently had put her blond hair into a braided bun as her sea-green eyes looked at Rin confusedly. Artoria was the second student that had transferred over from England and into UA right alongside Luvia.
Artoria moved her gaze to the shirtless form of Shirou, drinking in his form with a bit of a flustered expression.
"R-Rin, we lost fair and square. There's nothing to be ashamed of." Artoria tried to keep her composure while giving a few looks toward Shirou. "Yes, nothing at all. Good job Shirou, I recommend playing like this again. It did wonders for you." She requested.
No one dares to point out that she just wanted to see Shirou being shirtless more.
"Oh really? Thanks Saber!" Shirou thanked her, using the childhood nickname that he had for her. His words caused her to turn bright red.
"Goddammit…" Rin on the other hand had slumped herself in defeat, making the rest of the class laugh at her predicament.
The whole class of 1-A looked on confusedly at the sight before them, this was their seniors? They had expected something…more.
"I thought you said they have an aura?" Mina asked incredulously, "All I'm seeing is just them messing around!"
"They do have it! I swear!" Toru defends herself.
"Is it their PE class currently?" Momo asked Aizawa, who was looking at the scene with a helpless expression.
Privately, the class thought this was the first time they had seen their sensei looking so helpless.
"No, this is actually their heroics class currently."
"EH?!" The whole class exclaimed in shock.
"You can actually play in Heroics?!" Mina asked in shock.
"Not really, all of us are actually training our quirks. But this method makes things more fun for us." Rin answered her as the whole class followed behind her. "We just use our quirks and learn how to effectively use them in a few random activities. We even decide it with lots!"
"Really? That sounds awesome!" Toru exclaimed, "And sensei allows this?"
"Of course I did!" Midnight answered as she stood beside Rin, "As long as they show results then I don't see why they shouldn't have fun." She shrugged, making 1-A gape at her.
They can actually have fun while in class?! Their initial feeling of nervousness towards their seniors had now turned into jealousy. They could not believe such bullshit.
"Oh hey, it's Black Mark-sensei!" One of them pointed out, making Aizawa freeze up.
"Oh yeah! Hey Hardass-sensei!"
"Sup Hobo-sensei!"
Each word seemed to only make Aizawa a bit more depressed and in turn, only help fuel the students. Each of them wore an innocent look but their tone made it clear that it was purely vindictive in nature.
1-A on the other hand was looking at the scene with incredulity, never before have they seen such balls on a student to openly insult a teacher. And they were insulting Aizawa too! Someone that was famous for being strict!
"Isn't this a bit…much?" Izuku asked with a nervous expression, right beside him Iida was chopping his hands like crazy as he did his best impression of a fish.
"Oh, this isn't much at all, if anything it's pretty tame." Midnight spoke up, looking at the scene with an amused grin. Doing nothing at all to stop the students.
"Sensei! What is this?! How can they be so disrespectful to Aizawa-sensei?!" Iida asked in shock as he looked ready to berate his seniors. The only thing stopping him was the fact that Midnight seemed to allow it while Aizawa seemed to accept it.
"Disrespectful? We're just returning his treatment to us from last year." Rin spoke up, making the whole class look at her in shock. "Black Mark-sensei here had literally expelled us from the top school in Japan. Do you realize how bad that is?"
The class gasped as they heard that, so Aizawa-sensei did expel students before. And a whole class at that?!
"B-but, aren't you guys here now?" Momo asked.
"Yeah, we got reenrolled. But that black mark on our record is still permanent. That's gonna affect our reputation pretty badly you know! Now we have no choice but to be a hero or we'll be dead on the streets!" One of the students called out with an angry expression, while the rest of the second years glared at Aizawa.
The man himself, however, refused to meet their gaze.
"Now now, as amusing as this is, I think we should move into why 1-A is here with us today," Midnight placated, making the whole class focus back on her.
"Class 1-A, this is Class 2-A. They are functionally your seniors. They have gone through a lot these past two years, maybe not matching your experience so far but they have their own stories they can tell." Midnight introduced as the whole class lined up before them. Their very presence could now be felt as they stood in front of them. "They'll be here to help you with training for the license exam."
The class couldn't help but gaped once they felt their presence.
"Oh, that's the aura you talked about…" Mina muttered as Toru nodded smugly.
"Tch, what's so great about them anyway?" Bakugo clicked his tongue, looking toward the seniors with an unimpressed gaze. "All we saw was just them messing around, if anything why should we even listen to them in the first place?"
His words caused a few of the seniors to look annoyed while they zeroed in on him.
"Hooh? So you think you know better then?" Rin asked with a neutral look.
"Know better?! I am better than you fucks!" Bakugo immediately replied, making some of the class sigh in exasperation.
"You idiot!" Kirishima smacked him upside the head, gaining an offended "Oi!" in return. "I'm really sorry for his behavior," He bowed toward them.
However, Rin still seemed to retain her neutral look. "No no let him continue, I'm sure some of us here are interested in what he has to say."
Her words caused a few of the 1-A students to freeze up in fear when they heard that. Thanks to Bakugo, now they are gonna start thinking badly of 1-A!
"Yeah, just let him speak!"
"Don't worry now, don't be shy!"
"Come on, what's this about us being weak?"
The students of 2-A start to toss in their own encouragement after Rin finishes talking. Despite their words, there was a hint of something in their eyes. Making some of the 1-A students sweat in fear.
'Goddammit, Bakugo!' Was their collective thought.
Said blonde, on the other hand, had taken his seniors' words as a challenge, because of course he did.
"Huh?! I ain't shy about shit dumb ass!" He roared, his eyes glaring at the class in front of him. "You want my thoughts? I'll give it!"
"You guys don't look like you take things seriously! Hell, you guys are playing goddamn volleyball during your heroics class! Why should we listen to people that probably never even fought villains huh?!" His words caused a few to flinch a little, their eyes narrowing in silent anger as a memory resurfaced. "We already fought villains after villains that came our way without fail, so what the hell losers like you can teach us anyways?"
The whole gym fell silent, 1-A in silent fear while 2-A had their gazes boring holes into the confident blonde. Even the teachers seemed a bit at a loss on what to do, both classes are not normal after all so conventional methods are out of the window.
Both Aizawa and Midnight look at each other and silently nod, both sides decided it was best to let the two classes deal with it on their own. Unless things started to get hectic, they won't interfere.
"You know I was planning to let you off easy," Rin began, breaking the silence in the gym. "But frankly it's clear that you kids need to learn the pecking order." Her neutral features broke into an innocent smile.
The smile, however, merely intensifies their fear, all except for one of course.
Bakugo scoffed as he heard that, "Pecking order? Sure! Send in the strongest you got and I'll beat their ass!"
Rin's smile, however, seemed to widen once she heard that. "Well, you heard him!"
'You've doomed us all Bakugo!' The class despaired.
She then turned around and looked towards the top of the gym. There at the top, was a railing. Cementoss could be seen relaxing there in a chair, reading a book as he did so.
'How long has he been there?' Was the collective thought of 1-A.
"Cementoss-sensei! Can you prepare an arena for us!" Rin hollered to him, making him look up towards them before nodding.
It didn't take long before an arena appeared inside the gym, right beside the arena was a place where everyone could sit and watch the match. Currently, both classes are standing in that area.
"Alright then, since they wanted the strongest, we should send in Shirou. Any objections?" Rin asked the class, making Shirou widen his eyes in surprise.
"Wait what?!" Shirou asked in shock.
"Sure!"
"Got no problem with that!"
Shirou sputtered before looking at Rin, "Why send me? If you guys want the strongest then why not Saber?" He asked.
A hand then gripped his shoulder, making him turn around and see Artoria looking at him with a serious look. Some part of him can't help but feel she's angry in some way.
"Kick their asses Shirou." She gave him a thumbs-up, making him sigh in relent.
"Oi! I said the strongest! I don't want some weak ass bitch!" Bakugo roared out from his side, his classmates however were looking on with complete despair on their faces. There goes their reputation.
"What are you talking about? He is the strongest in our class." Artoria countered while patting Shirou's shoulder. "Shirou here just didn't want to admit it!"
"Tch, whatever. We'll see how he'll do." The blond grumbled.
"Well, you heard her! Now go!" Rin shoved him out of his seat, making him sigh as he made his way toward the arena. Right beside him was Katsuki, who was impatiently waiting for them.
"Tch, fucking finally." Bakugo clicked his tongue, then he silently eyed the young man beside him.
Shirou had worn back his PE shirt, but he could have sworn he had seen a few scars around his body before he did. The most notable one was the one on his chest, right where his heart was supposed to be. The other one was a small one that could be seen on his right side. But instead of it looking like a stab, it instead looked like someone had tried to bisect him.
Bakugo decides to shrug and ignore it, so what if the guy has a few scars? Shitty Deku also has a few on his arms and all of them came from him mishandling his quirk. It was probably the same case for this guy.
Both sides stopped inside the arena and faced each other, slowly warming themselves up as they prepared for the match. Midnight makes her way into the arena, her eyes trained on both students.
"Now then, I'll be the referee for this match. No foul play and If I say the match has ended, it ends! Are we clear?"
"Yes ma'am." Both replied as they gazed at each other, well glared in Bakugo's case.
Both classes sat in wait, 2-A with slight vindictive excitement while 1-A was looking forward to seeing what their supposed strongest among 2-A was capable of.
"Wait!" Luvia called out, making everyone look at her in confusion.
"Yes miss Luvia?" Midnight asked in confusion.
"Isn't this a bit unfair?" She pointed out, making everyone blink in confusion. Bakugo on the other hand rolled his eyes in annoyance, did one of them chicken out or something?
But her next words, however, caused a very different reaction from around them.
"I mean, Sherou would totally win if he fights just one of them. Just to give them more of a chance, why not make the whole 1-A class fight against him?" Luvia suggested, making the rest of 2-A nod in agreement.
"EH?!"
The rest however were more surprised by her words.
"Oi! Are you looking down on me?! I could beat his ass all on my own dammit!" Bakugo roared.
"Why do we have to join as well?" Kaminari asked in shock.
"Yeah! Bakugo was the one that opened his mouth!" Mineta whined.
Rin raised an eyebrow at their words, her face set in neutrality. "Oh really? I didn't take 1-A for a bunch of cowards. I mean, you all had fought villains right in your first month and even survived the attack in the camp from what I've heard. Bakugo there even said that you had overcome every challenge you face. What's one more?"
The class froze from her words, the more hot-blooded among them couldn't help but felt like their pride had been challenged. The more calm and collected among them however could see that their seniors were actually provoking them. But to what end? In the end, it would still be twenty against one.
'Could she really be that confident in him?' Izuku thought to himself as he glanced toward Shirou. Who was oddly calm and more resigned to the things that are happening currently.
Just how strong he must be to be able to gain that much trust and confidence from his classmates?
"Miss Edelfelt, I know both of you are close but how can you be so sure that Emiya can defeat a whole class?" Aizawa questioned.
Rin scoffed at his words, "This is more than just personal feelings Black Mark-sensei. Luvia here knows Shirou's limits, as do Artoria and I. All three of us know him better than all of you combined. If Luvia here says they'll need it, then they'll need it." Rin shrugged, making Aizawa sigh.
"Fine, but if anything happens it's on you."
"Sure sure."
"I don't like this," Momo said from her position, hidden from the others as nervousness was clear in her tone as she realized the implications. "This is clearly a trap."
"Trap or no, we need to respond to it. Kacchan had provoked them so they're justifiably mad now. We need to at least placate them a bit." Izuku spoke up. "Besides, look at it this way, Yaoyorozu-san. We get to see Emiya-senpai's quirk in action." He tried cheering her up, making her smile gratefully.
"Yes, silver linings I suppose." Her smile then turned a bit teasing, "Though I guess it's even more of a boon to you what with your obsession with quirks."
Izuku turned a bit red from her words, "W-well, I mean." He sputtered, making Momo chuckle in amusement.
"Relax Midoriya-san, I was just messing with you." She chuckled, making him smile sheepishly.
The whole class then made their way into the arena, a few of them even looked rather pumped up about it.
"I'm not gonna let them look down on me." Sero rolled his sleeves.
"Let's go!" Mina cheered.
"Guess we're cleaning up his mess now huh?" Ochako sighed in slight annoyance.
"You don't sound too thrilled." Izuku pointed out.
"Of course not Deku-kun! That jerk landed us in this predicament in the first place! I was so looking forward to getting to know our seniors." Ochako sighed sadly, making Izuku pat her back sympathetically.
The whole class stood inside the ring, the students deciding to spread out and circle the redhead. Despite some of them being reluctant about it, all of them looked combat-ready.
Midnight walked back into the stands and decided to observe things from there; she can see things better from the stands anyway.
"Alright! Same as before! No foul play and if I say it ends, it ends! Understood?"
"Yes!" They chorused.
"Now then, ready!"
The students of 2-A sat and leaned back into their seats as Midnight began the countdown, Artoria looking rather focused while Luvia and Rin looked rather smug.
"Really? The whole class fighting against him? And here I thought I was the cruel one." Rin asked with an amused look.
"Set!"
Luvia shrugged as she eyed her little juniors, seeing their determined looks. "I was still right, didn't I? They would need complete cooperation from each other to beat him. Besides…"
"Begin!"
"...Not that it would do them any good."
BANG BANG BANG
Multiple sounds of fists meeting flesh could be heard, the air itself being pushed back as the students of 1-A fell face-first to the ground. Their eyes were hazy as a feeling of their breakfast rising back up to their throats.
Kirishima managed to hold himself from falling, standing on his knees as he looked up shakily. He couldn't even react to it! He was so fast! If it wasn't for the fact that he had activated his quirk beforehand, he would have fallen on his face like everyone already.
Looking up, he could see the source of all their pain. There Shirou stood before them, completely calm and unaffected. The man himself seemed slightly surprised by the sight before him.
"Huh, guess you guys aren't at that level yet." He muttered to himself, the only reason Kirishima could hear him was thanks to how close he was to him.
Just what the hell had happened?!
The answer was simple, Shirou had merely moved from his position and punched their stomach. But despite the simple process, it was his speed that made things surprising. People weren't even able to see let alone react to him.
Back at the stands, Aizawa looked a bit surprised as he saw this. He personally knew how strong 1-A was, so to see them all fall at the hands of a single student was a bit surprising to say the least.
"You look surprised, Aizawa." Midnight noted with amusement in her tone.
"I haven't paid much attention to them, if I did the results wouldn't have surprised me." He retorted.
"Well, you did ignore them after their first years." She noted, the whole class made it quite clear that they no longer wanted to deal with him. Something that Aizawa was all the happier to oblige after all the shit they had thrown at him.
Their attention was then taken back into the arena, the sound of surging ice and crackling explosions could be heard.
Shirou perked up before jumping away, creating some rather large space between him and his original position. That was the right move as the area was filled with ice before a blast of an explosion could be seen covering it.
"Tch! Sit still dammit!" Bakugo growled, at the side, Todoroki breathed out a breath of cold air as he eyed his senior.
Kirishima at the side couldn't help but grin when he saw this, of course, those two managed to survive those hits. And if those two are near, then he won't be far along as well.
Shirou picked up on how the wind had suddenly picked up, immediately raising his arms to block an overhead kick.
His body slid back from the force of the attack, he could feel his arms straining slightly under the pressure but it would hold.
Shirou slowly lowers it to observe the new arrival, seeing Izuku was currently encased in green lightning.
"So that makes it three." Shirou breathed out. Looking around, he could see the rest were too shaken to get back up. His attack from before was still affecting them. They're not getting back up anytime soon.
"You three are a bit more durable huh? Guess it'll be fine if I stick with just this level." Shirou remarked, his stance lowering as he brought his hands to his front. Settling into a combat stance.
"Don't you underestimate me dammit!" Bakugo roared as he blasted himself forward, his right hand pulled back before unleashing an enormous explosion towards the redhead.
The blast enveloped him, making Bakugo grin at the sight. Guess he wasn't so tough after all–
Bakugo couldn't even finish that line of thought when a hand raised out of the smoke and grasped his arm, pulling him into the smoke before enormous pain erupted from his stomach.
There Shirou stood with his knee buried deep inside Bakugo's guts, the sheer suddenness of it all made things harder for Bakugo to react.
The redhead himself looks rather unscathed, other than his uniform looking a bit ruffled, and burnt in a few parts, he's relatively fine.
Pulling back his knee, Shirou gripped his fist before unleashing a quick three strikes against Bakugo's stomach, chest and face. Making the blond gasp for air as pain welled up from his whole body. His mind was getting disoriented from the sudden shock.
With another pull on his arm, Shirou slammed him face-first into the ground. He then raised his leg and stomped on his back.
All of this happened in merely a few seconds.
Bakugo lay there on the ground near motionlessly, his body racked with pain as the shock had stunned him. He was so fast and precise, every single one of his hits hurts like hell and focused on incapacitating him immediately.
Just what the hell is this guy?!
"I heard you have good combat instincts," Shirou remarked. "Those instincts won't do you any good if you can't even react to attacks." His words caused Bakugo to grit his teeth in silent rage even as his body was racked with pain.
The sound of surging ice could be heard, making Shirou glance toward the approaching glacier. The redhead then suddenly disappeared, making the glacier crash into nothing but empty air.
Todoroki widened his eyes at the sudden disappearance, however, he couldn't have thought any further about it as Shirou suddenly appeared beside him with his fist pulled back. He tried to blast him away with a blast of flames, but his stomach erupted in pain before his mind was disoriented from the sudden punch to his stomach and face.
Todoroki falls to the ground, joining the rest of his classmates on the ground. Shirou on the other hand was focusing on the shocked Izuku. The verdette was surprised by how quickly both Kacchan and Todoroki had fallen.
"You gonna stare or do you want to fight?" Shirou called out as he slowly made his way towards the verdette. Izuku himself tensed up before he settled into a low stance.
At the stands, the whole class was smirking in amusement as they saw how easily Bakugo had folded under Shirou's might. Some of them were openly smiling vindictively. Fuwa sighed as she saw all of this.
"Tohsaka-san, I think your influence has corrupted some of us too much." She pointed out as she glanced toward the class president.
"Well they need to let out their stress in some way, I'm just showing one of the ways they can do so." Rin shrugged innocently, making Fuwa chuckle sheepishly.
"Something feels off." Artoria suddenly spoke up, making Rin and Fuwa glance at her.
"What is it, Artoria?" Rin asked.
"It's Shirou, instead of finishing it off. He suddenly warned the boy." Artoria brought up, making the two girls narrow their eyes as they looked back towards both the redhead and the verdette.
Artoria was right, Shirou seemed relaxed. Casual even as he approached the younger student.
"You don't think he's getting complacent are you?" Fuwa pointed out, however, Artoria shook her head when she heard it.
"No, I don't think so." Artoria shook his head.
Luvia scoffed when she heard, "Fuwa, Shirou takes being a hero too seriously to even consider being complacent. I'm sure there's a reason for his actions there." Her words caused Fuwa to nod in acceptance.
Back at the arena, Shirou was smirking as he saw Midoriya being prepared for a fight with him. There was a hint of something in his eyes when he laid eyes on him.
"Come on, let's see what you can do compared to your classmates." Shirou challenged with a good-natured grin, making Izuku gulp nervously from his expectations.
Izuku then moved, green lightning trailing behind him before he jumped to give an overhead kick. Shirou raised one of his arms to push it away from him, it did not deter Izuku though as he immediately flowed into a low sweep kick. Making Shirou jump before he raises one of his legs to stomp on Izuku.
The verdette immediately rolled away from the attack, making Shirou's foot land on the ground and cracking the ground underneath. Izuku ignored it as he immediately lunged toward Shirou to dropkick him.
Shirou didn't let that happen as he immediately grabbed the boy, he then used the momentum to spin around and throw him away. Izuku rolled into a crouched position, eyeing his senior warily.
Shirou on the other hand merely smirked when he saw his junior's intense gaze.
"He's taking this lightly." Artoria realized back at the stands, making everyone blink in confusion and surprise.
"I thought you said he doesn't even consider being complacent?" Fuwa asked incredulously.
"He doesn't!" Luvia defended.
"No, he's testing the kid," Rin concluded, already noticing how Shirou seemed to observe Izuku.
"He is?" Fuwa asked in confusion.
"He had multiple chances to end this, but he didn't. If anything, Shirou seems rather invested in him." Artoria brought up her own thoughts.
Rin hummed at that, "The main question would be, what's so interesting about him to get his attention like that."
The girls looked on at the arena with a more attentive gaze, their focus was now more curious on what Shirou was trying to achieve.
In the arena Shirou was looking at the boy with a narrowed gaze, his eyes switching between the boys' legs and his arms.
"Your fighting style, it feels rigid. Too set in stone, you seem to really focus on your legs. Why?" Shirou suddenly asks, making Izuku blink in confusion.
"Ah, t-that's because my arms would be permanently damaged if I break it again," Izuku answered despite being confused and surprised by the sudden line of question.
Shirou seemed confused at that, "So you resort to using your legs?" He gained a nod of confirmation from that. "From the looks of it, your quirk seems to focus on enhancing your physical capabilities. I'd say it would be fine if you use your arms, you're not gonna break it anytime soon if you can use it with your legs that well." He pointed out, making him laugh a bit sheepishly.
"Yeah but it's still a bit hard, I'm kinda still tweaking things out," Izuku admitted sheepishly.
Shirou nodded understandingly, "Still getting used to a new style huh? Well then, come here. I think I can help a bit."
Izuku looked surprised by his words, but seeing the serious look on Shirou's face made him slowly come close to the man. The whole class in the stands also seemed surprised by his words, leaning over to see what Shirou was trying to do.
Both students raised their hands in front of themselves, settling into a stance as both stood before each other.
Then they moved.
Izuku launched a punch at Shirou, but the redhead raised his hand and tilted Izuku's wrist away from him with minimal movement. Izuku didn't let that deter him as he suddenly raises his leg to kick the redhead, but Shirou blocked the kick with his shin while giving a small grin. He could see the movement felt rigid and awkward.
"You feel rigid, don't immediately rely on your legs. Keep it interchanging and change up your rhythm!" He advised as he suddenly sent an elbow strike towards Izuku's head.
The verdette blocked it with his arm right as he sent another punch towards Shirou's abdomen, the redhead immediately sidestepping it before he sent a punch towards his stomach. The verdette immediately backed away from it and created some space between them. Already wary of the attack that had already knocked out all of his classmates.
"Alright I think we can finish it here," Midnight suddenly called out, making both Izuku and Shirou look towards her in confusion. "Emiya here already dealt with the rest of the class and he's just messing with Midoriya by this point."
Shirou seemed offended at that last point, "What? No, I'm not, I just wanted to help him."
Midnight seemed unconvinced, "Uh-huh, we both know you could beat him immediately."
Shirou clamped up at that and refused to look her in the eyes, making Izuku sweatdropped from the image. The verdette then looked around and could see the majority of his classmates were already slowly recovering and some of them had even slowly made their way back to the stands.
As Shirou was about to make his way back to the stands, he glanced at Izuku with a small grin.
"Midoriya!" The verdette perked up at that and glanced at him questioningly. "You got some good potential, Yagi-san chose well."
His words cause Midoriya to widen his eyes in shock, that was All Might's real name! And choosing…does that mean he knew about One For All?! Before he could even ask for clarification, Shirou had already left and made his way back to the stance. Leaving the verdette to stew in his confusion.
Izuku then turned around when he heard the sound of groaning. He could see that Bakugo was struggling to get back up, making him rush over to the blond.
"Hey Kacchan, you ok?" He asked with worry in his tone.
Apparently, his words were the wrong ones as Bakugo had slapped his hand away and forcefully got himself back up.
"I don't need your help you damn nerd!" He spat before brushing past him to get back towards the stands. Izuku himself looked a bit put off by it but decided to ignore it. He was always like that anyway, even if his words did hurt a bit.
Another sound of groaning caught his attention, making him look to the source and see Momo struggling to get back up. Making him rush towards her.
"Yaoyorozu-san!" Izuku called out as he knelt beside her. "Let me help you." Izuku requested as he held her up, making her give him a nod of thanks.
"Thanks, Midoriya," She shakily smiled at him, something that was returned by him easily as he helped her get back to the stands with her hand over his shoulder.
Both slowly made their way towards the stands and Momo sat down on an empty seat among the stands, Izuku decided to sit beside her. Partly because of worry and another because there was an empty seat right beside her. They were shortly joined by a groaning Jirou and an oddly quiet Ochako who was staring at both Izuku and Momo with an odd look.
Nearby, Kirishima noticed Bakugo making his way towards the stands.
"Yo Bakugo! You were really awesome back there! But guess even you can't beat him huh?" Kirishima asked with a bit of a sympathetic look. Completely understanding that Bakugo was frustrated about it.
"Shut up Shitty hair! I don't need your pity!" He snapped, making Kirishima flinch a little from the sudden scream.
"Relax man, I'm not pitying you." Kirishima tried placating him.
"Just fuck off!"
Nearby, Rin narrowed her eyes when she saw the interaction between the two of them. She could see that despite Kirishima's attempt to brush it off, the insults did have a bit of an effect on him. The poor boy was just trying to help and offer some support, but he was brushed off rather rudely. She also did see his previous interaction with Midoriya when he was trying to help him up. She might need to keep an eye on him.
As the class finally settled back down on the stands, the whole class looked questioningly at Rin. The girl had decided to stand before them right at the front of the stands with Shirou right beside her, even her own class was looking at her in curiosity.
"So, I think we made it quite clear already. That despite the difference, we have our own experience and by no means are we inferior in any way." She spoke, her gaze locked on Bakugo as she spoke. Making the blond huffed in annoyance.
"Though admittedly, having the whole class fight was unnecessary," Shirou added, glancing at Luvia who avoided his eyes. He then gave an apologetic look toward 1-A. "Sorry for that and if I went overboard by the way."
The whole class looked a bit relaxed when they heard that. Though part of the blame can be laid on Bakugo, some of them were a bit angry that they were dragged into it as well. So hearing an actual apology did soothe their wounded pride.
Mina then raised her hand, making Rin point at her. "Yes uhh…"
"Ashido Mina!" She introduced herself, "I have a question."
"Sure, ask away." Rin allowed her to continue.
"What is Emiya-senpai's quirk anyways? Is it some sort of body booster like Midoriya? He was really fast and strong!" Mina asked, excitement and curiosity clear in her eyes.
The question also led all of 1-A to look at both of them with the same intensity, Shirou had cleared them away rather easily after all.
Rin looks toward Shirou at that, silently asking him to explain.
The redhead himself sighed as he saw this. "My quirk is called Projection, I can record anything and project them into reality."
"Anything?" Izuku asked for clarification, notebook already in hand as his eyes sparkled like stars.
"Yes, anything," Shirou confirmed with an amused look, "It could be anything simple like an object." He held out his hand, a sword suddenly appeared in his outstretched hand. Gaining a surprised gasp from Momo. "Or even anything complicated like actual physical abilities and quirks."
His words caused everyone to look at him with wide eyes. "You can copy quirks?!" They all asked.
"Yeah but it's really painful, it's like forcing a hot metal rod down your spine." His words caused everyone to wince in sympathy. "But I've gotten used to it and I did find a better way to use quirks by turning them into weapons."
"You can do that?!" Izuku asked in shock, his writing growing quicker as he absorbed all the new info.
"Yeah, I can project the records I had kept into different forms up to a certain extent. Though usually I only limited it to quirks. The weapons I created with them are pretty useful." Shirou revealed.
"If he had used any of them, none of you would have stood a chance. Not that any of you even have one in the first place anyway." Rin snickered, causing some of the students to get slightly depressed.
"Is there any actual limit to your quirk? Can you combine all the copied quirks you have? Also what quirk did you use when you fought us?"
"Shut up Shitty Deku! Your questions are getting fucking annoying!" Bakugo suddenly screamed, making Izuku flinch and shrink into himself.
BANG
The sound of something hard hitting against Bakugo's head could be heard, making everyone look at him in surprise. A gem, a ruby to be more specific, could be seen floating around Bakugo's head before it floated back towards Rin.
"I suggest you keep your mouth shut or at least learn how to be polite. I might be able to deal with you being rude to my class, but it seems like even your classmates weren't spared." Rin advised with an icy glare directed towards Bakugo, making the blond grit his teeth in anger but clamping his mouth shut.
"Black Mark-sensei, please get your student under control." She added, glaring at Aizawa. Who only nodded in response to her words. It seems like he had been too soft when it came to reprimanding Bakugo. He should fix that.
"To answer your question," Shirou continued, trying to move on from the incident and stop the atmosphere from turning awkward. "The limits of my quirk is that I have to have a record of something in order to project it and I need a lot of stamina to project anything. The more complicated it is, the larger the energy cost."
Izuku nodded as he continued taking notes, Momo sat beside him looking at his notes with a curious look. She was surprised by how short but concise his notes were, maybe she should ask for some tips on note-taking from him.
"And lastly, the quirk that I used, well it was actually Saber's quirk." Shirou gestured towards Artoria, "Her quirk is called Vital Burst, it allowed her to generate a lot of vitality to the point it became energy after a certain point. I've been using it in a short burst, that's why I was so fast. Saber over there can use it in a far more effective manner." He also had opted out of the explanation on her quirk had pretty much caused her to be…much more developed once she hits puberty.
The whole class looked toward Artoria in awe at that, knowing that she can be as strong as what Shirou had demonstrated if not even further did put her on a small pedestal in their eyes.
"Wait! You're the last years' Sports Festival winner! You're the one that the heroes say could rival All Might in the future!" Izuku suddenly realized, matching Artoria's face with the one he saw on TV last year.
The class immediately gaped at her with stars in their eyes, replacing her pedestal with a bigger one mentally. They were looking at a future All Might after all! Artoria noticed all the attention she was getting and started getting flustered from all the attention she had gotten.
Bakugo clicked his tongue as he heard that, slowly his own insecurities started to resurface and made him want to lash out. But he stomped it down when he saw Rin keeping an eye on him.
"See? I told you she would be the strongest in our class." Shirou smirked at Rin, who rolled her eyes at him.
"Yeah right, you do realize you won a majority of the spars you had with her right?" Rin countered, making him freeze up and avoid her gaze. Causing her to smile teasingly at him.
"Alright that's enough," Aizawa interfered, causing everyone to focus on him. "We already wasted enough time, there's a reason why I let you all meet here today."
"It's for our license exam right?" Ochako asked, making him nod.
"Exactly, you will be taken under their wing. They will be your temporary teacher and help you with your quirks or any skills you might need to prepare for the license exam." Aizawa revealed. "In short, you will be personally taught by your seniors for the few weeks leading up to the license exam."
"EH?!" 1-A gasped before staring at their seniors, 2-A on the other hand was either looking at Aizawa with an unimpressed look or were looking at 1-A with some excitement in their eyes.
"Way to toss your work to students Hobo-sensei!"
"Who cares, we get to teach some newbies! It'll be fun!"
1-A gulped under the hungry gaze of their seniors.
"Ah well, we already planned to teach them anyway. I'm sure it will be better than your method Hobo-sensei." Luvia idly commented, making the whole class blink at her. They were?
"A sink or swim method huh? I bet these kids didn't even learn anything under him." Shirou idly commented, making Aizawa narrow his eyes in distaste.
"Well…he's not wrong," Tsuyu bluntly confirmed, making Aizawa flinch.
This will be a long couple of weeks for him. He just knew it.
[-]
The chapter feels a bit short but I decided to just end it here. The next chapter will have more things going on.
But yeah, as you can see they are in 2-A and they have massive beef against Aizawa. Unlike 1-A, the class actually saw that Aizawa is being an ass when it comes to teaching them stuff. The things he's trying to convey are understandable but the methods are highly questionable and unfitting for a teacher. Great hero, shitty teacher basically.
As for pairings, it will be a multi pairing and I have already decided on who. Though it should be noted that I'm keeping it as just Fate characters paired with Fate characters while MHA characters get paired with MHA characters. There is a possible chance where only one MHA character gets paired with a Fate character but that's a maybe for now.
Anyways, give your thoughts on the chapter.
See ya!
