wooo! birthday chapter! hope everyone that shares this day of birth with me is having a great one.

a quick question for the audience, should I make a 1A hero move list document so you guy's can reference it? because I can see people(even myself) not remembering what a certain move does or remembering it all if I just call it by it's name when fighting and having a google doc that you'll can access as a reference sheet seems like something that could alleviate that issue, off course if it is even one, just let me know!

Seven eleven: Tatsumaki's group, bang's group, king's group, Geno's group, saitama

Todoroki was still recovering from the effects of that monster attack but his condition has improved significantly again from the day prior unlike before where he had to stay in his phosphorus red state throughout the entire day now he is able to just stay in his normal state from now on. However that didn't mean there still wasn't issue revolving around how his body function he was still somewhat cold but not enough for it to be too uncomfortable anymore and he could now use his ice side again although only in limited quantities and he wouldn't dare try his phosphorus white form as that would probably hold severe ramifications for his recovery.

Currently they were in that gorge again, this time however genos master Saitama was also overseeing their training along with the demon cyborg. Today the demon cyborg had bakugo face off against todoroki with the use of quirks in the mix this time around. Bakugo demanded todoroki not to hold back against him like he's done previously and wanted him go all out to the best of his ability, which was slightly hindered due to the fact that despite his defect with his ice side demon cyborg insisted that he stay in his base state, which got bakugo even more annoyed than previously but the blonde teen didn't raise his voice in opposition so Todoroki accepted the challenge.

The two faced off against each other and bakugo thoughts rushed back to the first and if he's remembering correctly only time he had an all out battle against the half and half teen. The sports festival even after almost a year has past it still left a bad taste in his mouth, the fact that he didn't use his flames against him while he did for midoriya grinded his gears to no end and completely ruined that prize..that he almost immediately threw away because he couldn't stomach the sight of it. And the same thing was happening now, even though todoroki was feeling better he still wasn't 100% which meant it was still a handicapped match but bakugo already knew how he stacked up against him so he didn't really care about that but that didn't mean he didn't care about not winning because he definitely still did.

Bakugo was the one to make the first moving dashing forwards to get in close which was where he was confident that he held the advantage, todoroki countered by launching a massive wave of flames from left side forcing bakugo to alter his course and fly upwards where todoroki was already in the midst of pre aiming with his right side aiming his palm sky upwards an concentrating as he readied an ice spike to launch where the explosive teen would show himself, given his ailment he didn't want to risk large scale Ice attacks for the moment so he would instead opt in for smaller but incredibly more dense attacks that he's been working on. But his plan was put on hold as instead of flying upwards like he expected bakugo to do.

the crazy teen flew through his wall of flames using his braces as a heat shield to guard his body from the heat while simultaneously using the increased temperature to his advantage as his next attack was charged up with the added sweat that he secreted hoping to strike todoroki right in the chest, todoroki could only manage to summon a small shield of ice from his feet rising up just in time to block the explosion from detonating directly on him but the force still completely blew him away a significant distance and would have continued to do so if he didn't counteract it with his flames slowing himself to a stop as he looked to where the dust from the large explosion still lingered, bakugo didn't wait for the dust to completely dissipate as he continued his attack as out from the dust came several of his AP-shots, todoroki thought quickly and condensed his flames in his fingertips before releasing his flashfire fist : hell spider popping each of the attacks and causing them to explode meters before they could reach him but the several explosions created even more dust and debris to obscure his vision. Bakugo launched out of the smoke with a wicked grin as he dodged out of the way from a stream of flames Todoroki sent his way, returning by dropping swinging his arms forwards releasing a dozen or so of his C4 bombs that skirted at the teens feet.

todoroki not taking the chance launched upwards with his flames and bakugo almost laughed at the sight as no one really knew about his new bracers or its abilities so as todorki's flames touched the adhesive orbs chalk full of nitrogliren the likely reaction occurred and the dozen small bombs exploded in an medium sized explosion catching him off guard and hitting him while he tried to fly upwards, knocking him uncontrollably into the sky, bakugo seized the opportunity charging up after him delivering a knee strike to his gut while grabbing a hold of one of his arms and about to perform his x-catapult maneuver but bakugo made one fatal flaw he had grabbed todoroki's rights arm and despite his ailment todoroki took advantage of his mistake bakugo immediately felt a cold shiver climb up through most of his body but before he could let go it was already to late he was soon incased in ice just like that, bakugo mentally kicked himself for his neglectfulness of remembering that todoroki could do that he so rarely used his ice for that anymore but that didn't matter as he soon started to fall down.

todoroki just hovered in the air using his flames to lift him, even as he fell he could see that his right side was frosting over even from that little bit of ice he used so far that monster really did do a number on him bakugo thought as he fell but he didn't give up while he couldn't move due to the ice and his sweat on his hands was completely frozen over preventing him using them the sweat inside of his guantes he had to imagine were still doing fine, he check his theory by utilizing his explosive punch the explosions rocked out behind both gauntlets and shatter the Ice allowing him to catch himself as he landed, he felt the heat before he actually turned to look up just in time to see a stream of flames bearing down on him. He didn't have time to evade but he responded just in time un-holstering two of his large canisters and using a 2x explosive cannon shot to counter the flames it worked for a time but the attack was being pushed back forcing him to dodge out of the way of the heat before rocketing back upwards back at todoroki. He made sure to stay close enough to the flames to get some of his sweat building up again and collided with Todoroki in the air, a flame and explosion sending both teens spiraling backwards before the fight commenced in the air.

The explosion had thrown them both off balance but both recovered in mid air and the fight continued bakugo again made the first move using his AP-autocannon to attack todoroki mid flight todoroki countered with a wave of flash freeze: Ice spikes the ice and explosion clashed as multiple explosion went off despite his best efforts bakugo couldn't get past todoroki's defenses even when he would circle around him firing from all angles the only positive was that todoroki couldn't keep that defense up as he could see the frost begin building on his right which ultimately forced him to stop using the move and use his right instead but that made him unbalanced in his flight as he only used one leg to remain in the air, causing his attacks to sail wide. Bakugo hated the display as it only reminded him of the handicap the half teen was going through normally he could launch out entire statues of Ice without breaking a sweat to be reduced to suffering from just this much was pitiful and even with that display it, proved just how far behind he was that he couldn't take him out easily. Todoroki new the deficit he was in while in the air and opted to attempt to slowly float down to the ground as he tried to ward of bakugo's attacks he used his hell spider to launch concentrated flames every which way in an effort to tag the nimble bakugo even if he had been in his phosphorus red state he doubted that his mobility would have been able to keep up with the other teens..

Bakugo did a running pass on todoroki as the teen strafed the stationary target while todoroki did the best he could to defend with his flames. Bakugo did one pass and like an actual bomber deployed a number of his C4 bombs over top todoroki's head, knowing better now of what those were instead of opting for his flames instead raising his right hand and froze the orbs solid preventing them from exploding but an ap-shot from bakugo quickly subverts his efforts and the combined explosive wave forces him to crash towards the ground before he could recover as he was still recovering from the fall however he was suddenly doused in something and knowing that he was up against bakugo he could only assume what he was just douse in and immediately cut out all of the flames that he could before rising up to his feet and dusting himself off. Bakugo surprisingly landed a couple meters in front of him, his eyes as battle crazed as ever.

"Well I guess that's it then." todoroki commented

"Giving up so soon?" bakugo taunted, todoroki merely gestured to his clothes.

"I assume you sprayed me with nitroglycerin, correct? I am unable to continue the way that I am without taking damage from this that will likely hurt my chances of victory. It's checkmate." todoroki said stoically

"So you're just a coward huh?" bakugo replied again.

"I'm a realist." todoroki replied simply with a shrug of his shoulders, bakugo merely sucked his teeth and relented despite winning he still didn't feel right, he cursed his luck of everytime he won against half and half teen there was always some asterisk to it, unless that is it was a fist fight he was definitely superior in that end but that wasn't really surprising. As the two finished up saitama had came down from monitoring them and decided to come down and talk, bakugo initially thought the bald hero was going to say something about their performance or something that they could improve on but he had no idea why that thought ran through his head maybe seeing what the bald hero actually could do clouded his judgment of how the hero was actually like.

"Yo, do you two want to go have a picnic?" the hero said casually, completely baffling bakugo.

"You sure take things easy with all the monsters running around. Do you really think you have time for a picnic?" bakugo asked

"Yes. The cherry blossoms are about to bloom and I know a cool spot for one. You look like you could use a break." Saitama replied.

"Hah as if I'm full of energy." bakugo remarked

"You can't try too hard , it only hurts you in the long run, before you know it, you may even go bald like me." saitama remarked

"Not happening." bakugo said simply.

"Oh I know, how about this since you are so energetic to fight. How about you take me on? If you can land an attack on me we'll go do some patrolling if not we go on a picnic.`` Saitama remarked. Bakugo knew that the guy was baiting him and going off what the tincan had showed him he should know better that he likely wouldn't have been able to lay a finger on the man but he couldn't just let a challenge like that go unanswered so he agreed but he wasn't in this alone todoroki went to join his cause believing and knowing the rising threats of monsters should take some priority over a simple picnic.

The first thing saitama did before they began their showdown was flap his cape in todoroki's direction the massive wave of wind bakugo initially believed was just to be a show of power to intimidate him but no todoroki was still drenched in his nitroglycerin sweat from their prior bout and he did that to clear him of that problem before they continued forwards, genos gave todoroki the all clear to switch forms as he liked and todoroki obliged switching into his phosphorus red state before testing his power releasing a small amount of flames, he felt a very small amount of explosions riddle his back but they weren't really anything he couldn't handle. With that out of the way he raised up the heat and once satisfied that all the nitroglycerin was gone nodded his head in being ready and bakugo quickly followed suit. With that out of the way both of them waited for saitama' mark and the battle commenced.

Bakugo began the encounter with an extremely large ap-shot saitama merely slapped the thing aside as it crashed into and exploded off in the distance, todoroki quickly charged the man he too was curious about the man that someone as powerful as genos called master. He unleashed a huge wave of flames and was surprised when the hero seemingly appeared behind him right next to bakugo where he remarked that he always hated going against fire since it ruins his costume, surprised bakugo reacted immediately attempting to strike out with another explosion but as the dust cleared the hero was gone again, both bakugo and todoroki looked around but couldn't find the hero until genos directed their attention to their left around 100 meters away. There he was just standing there waving at them.

Bakugo angered and Todoroki surprised both charged towards saitama firing off blasts of explosions and flames but none of it seemed to land at all on the bald hero which evaded each attack with extreme ease. Bakugo used his landmine blast to attempt to rocket saitama into the air which he believed connected but upon closer inspection the hero merely jumped away before the explosion could reach him he was shocked at how high the hero jumped in the air but that meant that he would be vulnerable while in the air or at least he thought somehow some way the man still was able to seemingly push off the air itself as he moved around in the sky as the two teens continued to chase and attack him. todoroki would attack with his fireblast only missing and hitting empty air or in some cases striking bakugo on accident, bakugo on the other hand had no luck either his ap style attacks would only get smacked away while his close quarters explosions were ineffective because he couldn't get close enough to strike the bastard.

The match came to an ultimate head with todoroki using his flashfire fist with both of his hands and was completely caught off guard with a simple clap of the heroes hands he was able to completely advert the attack and send it back towards todoroki sending him crashing towards the ground with a column of dust, bakugo was so taken back by the display that when he turned back to look at saitama again he was upon him like some demon but before he could do anything a pluck to the forehead sent him scrambling down towards the ground in a massive column of dirt and dust both teens were down for the count, bakugo attempted to stand back up but quickly fell after grasping his head and falling unconscious. Saitama landed as genos came up to gather up the two teens.

"Do you think we should invite some other people?" Saitama asked Genos about the picnic.

"Who would you ask sensei?" genos remarked

"I'm sure bang and king are free and with more people they can bring the food." Saitama said with a grin as the two of them went back to his apartment to call the necessary individuals.


M-city

Mineta was back on the prowl out in the same park he was in before doing his training exercises. It was his third time having to restart the entire thing and he could already feel the burning of his muscles as he was going through it, he was on his 200 nth squats which meant he would only need to finish the 200 sit ups to finally be done with it but life had different plans for him as the monster alarm rang again this one was a tiger level threat that was relatively far away from him, so instead of opting to go there and travel all the way back to get to this park he instead to take a break and let his body relax which it definitely appreciated. As he sat there arms spread, panting heavily as he looked up to the sky and thought about everything that was currently happening to them and what was currently going down back home.

He had no delusions that even with his training he wouldn't be put him in a position where he would be able to help midoriya in his inevitable fight with all for one, just thinking of that man made a shiver run through his spine he couldn't even imagine an even stronger version of a guy that was able to survive what all might did to him in kamino, it further put into perspective of his own quirk and how useless it would be in those circumstances, he quickly shook his head from such negativity and tried to think on a more optimistic approach he didn't need to be the one fighting the main bad guy all he really wanted to be able to do was to be able to say that he helped take out the main bad guy just like there class fight against those people that attacked nabu island.

despite giving it everything they had him, sero, uraraka, momo, and aoyama were hopeless to stop the guy but they still did their part in weakening him enough for midoriya and bakugo to beat him and the same thing can go for the battle at home while he wouldn't consider fighting all for one at all especially the villain in his prime he could maybe take out some of his underlings or distract them enough so that midoriya wouldn't have to trouble himself with them instead… Midoriya would have his hands full and the least he could do was ensure that his mind wasn't divided by anything else but all for one.

Thinking on it again he started to ruminate about that being's dream, him having recently been given all the credit for beating all for one and saving the day?

He let a small laugh at the absurdity of it and mentally kicked himself for not seeing how obviously fake that whole situation could be but maybe he knew it was fake all along and wanted to pretend that he could do something like that…that he could be a major player in the upcoming battle and he couldn't lie part of him even while knowing the consequences still clamored to see what type of power that being would have given and if it was telling the truth a power that would surpass AFO and OFA. Who wouldn't want that? With that he would be able to protect everyone….but the catch mineta thought he would have to eliminate quirks forever something there whose society was built upon…he couldn't do that to people could he? He looked around his surroundings for a moment examining the other park goers, would it really be that different? this place doesn't have quirks either and they're doing fine, well besides the monsters he thought. And then the sound was up for his break as the alarm announced the tiger monster's defeat 15 minutes later, he quickly put his thoughts aside for now as he continued to restart his training this time he managed to complete the whole thing without a single interruption.

Now his problem was just finding monsters to fight out all the times he's been interrupted today none of them he was actually able to be a part of the action as the monster was already killed before he could get to the scene. He needed three monster before he could return to king so he opted to just wander around the city aimlessly waiting for the monster alarms to go off and he thought how inconvenient it was for their to be no monster alarms now that he finished his training and it took around 20 minutes before the next one set off it was nothing but a wolf level threat so he needed to get their quickly before someone else could take it from him so using his grape launcher he slingshot a number of grapes out in front of him to where he could bounce to and pick up speed and hopped away, he chuckled a bit on how his actions were similar to midoriya's at that moment who if he recalled was similar to bakugo's movement

Their class was constantly learning off each other and improving and he didn't want to be left behind. Using that method while faster than he was when running flatly did exhaust his quirk and technically he had a slight worry about people stepping in his orbs he left behind but he needed the speed so with a stellar entrance he arrived on the scene to a very strange site, it was a humanoid sloth of all things and just like it's animal counterparts it moved incredibly slowly but that didn't mean it wasn't dangerous so he approached the creature cautiously he seemed to have spook the thing as it turned to run away but it was just incredibly slow to do so that mineta had to hold in a laugh as he carefully avoided the creature slow swings and place two pop off orbs on its feet to keep it planted their while the association arrived to get it. While not the most exciting of encounters he had he wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth as the monster was carted away in the bus.

The next monster he faces was much more exciting if not too exciting almost as if his early call for more action was delivered. The creature was supposedly a tiger level threat but mineta didn't know entirely about that sentiment the creature was a large biomechanical porcupine that fired missiles! From it's large spiky back he literally couldn't do much of anything accept ensure that the citizens got to the safety of the shelter but other than that he was trying not to get hit the by rockets that it launched indiscriminately launching in the heroes direction luckily damage was somewhat kept to a minimum as the hero death gatling had arrived and using his large machine gun was able to shoot the missiles out of the sky but the beast wasn't done in by just that as it released a large amount of sleeping gass that completely knocked out death gatling but smell master was their to counter the effects with one of his concoctions getting the hero up just in no time flat before they engaged the creature.

The battle was ultimately decided as death gatling organized the hero's into defeating the creature. He had mineta clog up the creatures 12 missile silo spines with his pop off orbs after it fired off another volley, proceeding with using smell master to whip the monster in a frenzy using one of his chemicals before causing it to see red as it attempted to use it's rockets again as the tubes were filled causing it self destruct but even after blowing up the creature was still not dead and despite his best efforts to tell death getting to stop he killed the beast with his death shower completely killing the monster. Mineta was credited in its defeat but he still didn't know how to feel about the interaction and then thought again about what he was thinking of earlier. Maybe quirks weren't so bad after all. He patrolled for a couple of more minutes before king sent him a text message telling him to return and he didn't argue when king told him to do anything so he immediately returned to king's apartment.

"Sorry king, did I take too long?" mineta said in a skittish tone

"What? Nah …Saitama said he was going to see the cherry blossoms, I wanted to see if you wanted to come with." king remarked, mineta took a breath as he thought he was in trouble there for a second but before he could stop himself he blurted out.

"Are any chicks going to be there?" but he immediately covered his mouth like he just said something unforgivable, he had been getting better about that but it seems he needs more practice. But before he could retract his statement the message was already sent.

"Ugh…he said no but now that you mentioned it he invited Fubuki as well. Oh I should ask if it's ok to bring my game while we're at it." king said offhandedly as he began to type away.

"But what about my training?" mineta questioned

"Eh? Oh that, you just need another monster right? I'm sure one will pop up when we're traveling although saitama would probably take care of it if it does." king said with a shrug.


Bang's dojo

Midoriya and Ojiro were both back at bang's dojo both currently doing their multiple kilometers run around bang's dojo this time however bang had them run a bit more than normal bang said they were going to run three times as much as before but charanko swore that he made them run even more than that but ojiro just laughed it off as more of his complaining. Despite running three times as much as they usually did, Ojiro still noticed that bang and midoriya still finished incredibly quickly and the two waited as the other two completed their run once they were done they moved on to their next exercise immediately.

which surprised charanko slightly as he and ojiro was still tired out from their run but the older gentlemen insisted as he quickly got everyone up and moving again, the next part of the assignment was to scale the mountain and that they have 45 minutes to do so before just like on their first day he was gone in a flash as he simply leapt up and away climbing the mountain in no time flat and midoriya did the same leaping once and up the cliff face, ojiro was soon about to join him using his tail to propel himself upwards but stopped as he took a look back at charanko unlike the rest of them he didn't really have a way to propel himself upwards which meant he had to do thing the old fashioned way and he could already see the student beginning to tremble in fear of the exercise. Ojiro opted to not use his tail this time around and climb normally, going over to meet the teen who immediately stopped his trembling upon his approach and put on his usual confident persona.

"What? are you here to mock how I'm going to be last?" charanko remarked

"Nah I just thought you could use some company on your climb up, I need to stop relying on my tail so much to get things done anyways." ojiro remarked sticking a thumb up at his tail, that machine the other day regarded it as almost 2 times his normal strength. If he could bring that balance into equilibrium it would probably help him be a better fighter. Charanko seemed to noticeably brighten at the news, clearly happy that he wouldn't have to make the trek by himself although he wouldn't say it.

"Good as a true martial artist you shouldn't rely on cheap tricks or fancy mutations to do things." he said in his useful boastful tone as he placed both of his hands on his hips sticking out his chest. Ojiro simply chuckled at the display but agreed nonetheless as the two turned to face the mountain again they were both surprised by a sudden green blur and electricity landed down in front of them.

"Midoriya, what's wrong?" ojiro immediately asked

"Oh no nothing, I just wanted to try doing this assignment without one for all." Midoriya said simply and ojiro got what he meant.

"So child emperor's machine got to you as well, I was planning on doing the same thing without my quirk as well." ojiro said, midoriya rubbed the back of his head.

"Yeah it surprised me how high your number was compared to mine and it just reminded me how much I really rely on one for all for everything I do." midoriya remarked

"Yeah same here for me and my tail really, but I'm curious, does training regularly help your quirk at all?" ojiro asked, midoriya took a moment to think about it and while doing so a number of the vestiges chimed in their thoughts as well, it was mostly a resounding no, the vestige trains to handle the power not train the power itself it does that naturally on its own, meaning midoriya has the absolute strongest one for all in history for the moment. Quickly shaking out of his thoughts he addressed ojiro's initial question.

"No not really but it never hurts to improve myself, every bit counts." midoriya said and ojiro nodded in understanding.

The three of them approached the mountain the size looking more and more ardus as they got towards the base of it not even being able to see the summit from their angle and the three of them got to work. The trek up was fairly difficult for all of them, but they continued nonetheless, most problems lied in finding good purchase on the rocky slope and on a few occasions the three members had accidentally slipped off and began to fall back down but with ojiro's tail combined with midoirya's black whip they were always able to catch the person that was falling before anything drastic could happen which emboldened them slightly to climb up the mountain at an even faster pace which had the adverse effect of them tripping up and falling more frequently but the three of them ultimately made it to the summit of the mountain which was bang's dojo in 30 minutes, what greeted them as they arrived was the pleasant aroma of tea as bang waited for them to arrive with a large smile on his face , again he thanked both of the 1A teens for looking after charanko and congratulated all of them for finishing the assignment and offering them each a cup of tea as they had 15 more minutes until their next activity.

The four of them sat around and conversed amongst each other for a moment until their break time was up. The next thing they did after drinking their tea was some meditation bang wanted to really hone in the focus of the mind and how important it was in utilizing the water smashing fist, clearing your mind of unnecessary thought as you focus completely on the opponent in front of you, their stance, their movement , any of the smallest imperialities in their body that could give you an advantage, any shift in eye movement that could give their next move away, and responding with the safest and least draining defense to conserve stamina while also redirecting the your opponent's force and redirecting that energy into your next attack to hit the opponent with twice as much force they gave to you. Bang began to say during their meditation going over the principles of the water stream rock smashing fist.

After meditation, the three of them went over several forms and formations before they all underwent some basic physical exercises which then after another short break went a form of sparring the four of them like before constantly swapped amongst each other, bang had complimented both charanko's and ojiro performance in the martial art especially charanko who he had admitted was not showing much promise until the new arrivals had come in which ojiro constantly teased their senior about over the course of their sparring session. Midoirya had also shown improvement as well while not apt as the other two in the skill he still learned a great deal many things in from his time with bang. Midoriya was growing as a fighter, opting out of his bad habits of fighting too straight forward with his techniques although he still kept them in reserve as more of his power moves than anything else as a respect to all might.

The next part of their training was similar to the previous day as midoriya and bang went to work on his danger sensing abilities while ojiro and charanko were busy doing some mind focused training ojiro not really thinking of anyone better to do had the Idea of facing off against midoriya again given his fight with him and there sparring together he believed that he could conger enough of an image in his mind to act like he was almost facing the real thing. Even with that though he never actually won a single one of his fights against his shadow rival as his mind always just imagined him going to a higher percentage of power anytime he got the upper hand on him it did show that he was improving at least he liked to think that he was.

charanko on the other hand never really liked image training. He wasn't really a creative enough person to imagine his opponents and despite how much he liked to boast about his victories he still struggled with his extreme doubt and living up to bangs name so he never really liked to even focus on his failures. Ojiro took the opportunity instead with the young adult to get some more sparring in, the two of them sparring this time without the use of static blocks so every attack had to be parried, diverted, or simply dodge to hone their skills even more. The two practiced together for an hour before they heard the phone in bang's dojo ringing not wanting to disturb bang's and midoirya training charanko decided to answer the phone himself and he instantly regretted when the voice of that bald hero was on the other end he began to wonder if he should just hang up the phone as the hero still didn't even know his name yet but decided to hear the man out for bang's sake the olderman seems to have taken a liking to them and he wouldn't want to ruin it for bang. After hearing the heroes request he tasked ojiro with telling bang if they wanted to go see the cherry blossoms a short time later bang was entering the dojo himself remarking that he agreed. But before he could hang up the phone the hero began to say something else.

"What? You're going to go see the cherry blossom and want me/us to bring a good drink? Giving Bang sensei this responsibility, who do you think you..." charanko remarked but the phone call was suddenly just cut off making him slam the phone in anger.

"What did he say?" Ojiro asked

"That cheapskate said that you have to bring your own food and drinks, can you believe that?" charanko said, but he stopped as bang merely laughed.

"That sounds like something Saitama would say very well. Let's get a move on then." bang said simply as charanko was left confused as everyone started to leave the dojo. Midoirya overheard where they were going and still wanting to make things up with Uraraka wanted to check if she wanted to come along with them given her teacher she doubted that she would let her go but it wouldn't hurt to ask.


Land mass off the coast of X-city

Uraraka was a bit nervous when the two were flying in the air that she saw below them passing over a large body of water before meeting land again and being set down, she took a courtesy glance around them as she definitely realized they weren't in the same place anymore none of the giant holes of rock and dirt was anywhere to be found along with in the very distance she could see the body of water that they just past over which meant they were in an entirely new location.

"You wanted a change of scenery?" uraraka joked

"Those annoying people at the association were starting to get on my nerves about metal knight installing new roads or something like that where we were practicing before. So we had to move elsewhere like this island. It should be uninhabited by pretty much everything as good a place as any.`` Tatsumaki replied simply before lifting a finger and almost instantly uraraka could already feel the signs of the increased gravity acting upon her goodness. Her muscles were definitely going to be sore from over doing this type of training but she thought it would be worth it in the long run.

As fast as she could under the strain of the increased gravity went to tap all eight of her orbs she thought about giving them a name given that at this point they were so integral to her, she didn't know if she should get attached to something that she could loose easily or simply trade up for something heavier when the time came so instead she just opted to call them in general spirals instead anytime her she would throw them she would announce them by weight like 20 ton spiral or 40 ton spiral given her current setup.

she liked the name of her new super moves but tatsumaki never knew the reason for such stupid titles heroes should just stop wasting their time on announcing their attacks and just get the job done. and when she said it like that uraraka couldn't whole headily disagree with it but she didn't know having a name for her attacks just seem cool and like mid…like midnight said super moves made them feel powerful. Her mind started to dwell on their former teacher and how she was gone and it made her even more worried about back home but she was quickly brought out of her thoughts by a literal geyser of water hitting her in the chest completely taking her off her feet and blasting her into a nearby rock, god sometimes she really hated training under this women she thought as she groggily tried to stand back up from the attack.

"What did I tell you about spacing out?" the green girl said simply.

"Yeah , yeah I know not on the battlefield." Uraraka mocked dryly before she quickly let gravity help her as she fell to her knees to avoid another tornado of water that struck the rock behind her and completely pulverized it.

"I mean …yes miss tatsumaki maam, it won't happen again." Uraraka said quickly, still in disbelief, that the girl was about to hit her so hard.

"That's what I thought, now hurry up you're the one that said you want to train harder didn't you?" pretty hard to forget when you keep reminding me uraraka thought as she stood up and nodded for the girl to continue.

Once that was establish tatsumaki didn't hold back the entire island they were on started to shake as tatsumaki raise several large pieces of earth and threw them at her these things were gargantuan the size of full on buildings and there were four of them, what the heck was she supposed to do against that she wondered but as the building were headed for her they completely began to break apart and collide with one another but the large masses were still to large to escape from and she was suddenly swallowed whole by the structures completely entombing her in nothing but a dark place before the structure decomposed again allowing a modicum of sunlight through so that she could at least see what was around her.

Surrounding her were nothing but large sturdy walls of rock, nothing was really discernible in the dark landscape but she summarized that tatsumaki just wanted her to break out of this place as quick as possible, she was happy that the women didn't have her running around a lot, the weight she was carrying still made her very nauseous and too much movement was going cause her to throw up. So all she had to do was break some rocks, well that was going to be easy for her she launched two of her 20 ton spirals at a wall that she believed was stable enough not to collapse the entire thing on her head although she doubted tatsumaki would let something like that happen to her the girl wasn't that mean. As the two orbs struck the structure they successfully destroyed the wall down but as she went to step through the opening she was suddenly spent around on the spot the ground beneath her moving and the motion did cause her to throw up but again tatsumaki was there to help her out with that problem. Alright the girl didn't want her to move just yet did she destroy the wrong wall?

She thought as she continued to look around the room she believed that there were at least two more walls that she could destroy so she chose the one opposite to her successfully doing so but that same spin happened as she tried to move towards the new path so she tried again to the same result and again this time however there was no path so she was completely confused for a moment before she just decided to randomly choose to go in one of the three pathways and this time no spin ….did she just want her to destroy all three door to signify she had options? Uraraka continued forwards and was met with only two doors this time but as she stepped into the room a rock had hit her in the side knocking the breath out of her, she immediately crouched and was then met with another rock to the side of the head.

She immediately checked her surroundings noticing another rock headed her way as she dodged it before looking in the other direction and dodging again only to be struck again on the top of the head by a rock from above , she rubbed her head in pain before, quickly attempting to retreat the way she came but the entrance was sealed back up again another rock hit her in the side but she powered through this time using two of her 40 ton spirals to knock both doors open and hurry and scammer inside one of them before going forwards and almost slamming head first into just a column of earth.

she ducked under the structure as she proceeded to what appeared to be the last door but as she did so the column immediately blocked the entrance but she didn't look back instead focusing on what was in front of her which was just an ultra large door, that was incredibly thick by the looks of it she stepped into the center of the area she was immediately surrounded by rocks that lifted up thinking quickly she swung one of her one of her orbs in a circle destroying each one but another rock shot out from in front of her hitting her in the gut she making her curl in on herself again.

But she knew that tatsumaki wasn't going to let her rest as she raised her head just in time to avoid another rock hitting her. She quickly sprinted towards the doorway but she was catapulted backwards as the floor rose and threw her back, but she didn't let that stop her however as she quickly tapped herself while in mid air and was about to swing all of her orbs at the main gate but the added strain from the maneuver caused her to flinch from the nausea allowing a rock to hit her back to the ground.

she quickly got back up but was helped by the floor again as it threw her in the air and for a moment the floor and roof played with her like a game of pong until uraraka finally got a hang of herself and was able to throw her all of her orbs at the door just incase they didn't have the power she used reverse ability to suddenly increased the gravity by 3 times before they struck the door they completely shattered the door and using her gravitic attraction next allowed her to slingshot out of the door that started to rebuild itself into open air. She was about to land on the orbs themselves before she was caught by tatsumaki power. She quickly released everything and dropped to the ground as tatsumaki said it was her break time. Uraraka simply laid down and her body clearly announced its regrets. Her body was definitely feeling the impact of those rocks just then as her adrenaline subsided, she got a text and painfully reached into her bag to retrieve her phone. It was from midoriya which did perk her right up although her body instantly made her regret it.

My hero deku: do you think you can convince your teacher to go see the cherry blossoms?

Lifeline uraraka: umm…I don't know, let me check.

Lifeline uraraka: she said and I quote: "Where is this place? Cherry blossom viewing? Do you think S Class heroes have so much spare time? Are you stupid? Like hell I'll come"

My hero deku: lol, but it's in B-city, umm actually king, genos, and bang are coming along as well. Oh and fubuki.

Lifeline uraraka: she said we'll be on our way. Lmao.

My hero deku: oh and they said to bring your own snacks but…..I can get your stuff for you if you want…

Lifeline uraraka: that would be fantastic! Thank you!

My hero deku: ok! It's the least I can do!

Uraraka smiled before being surprised when she was suddenly whisked away and began to fly at incredible speeds towards a undescribed location she assumed that they were going towards B-city but as they finally stopped and she was finally able to get her barring on where she was she was their floating slightly above a street and sitting down below was a women along with a handful of other gentleman in matching suits given the similarly green hair and the surprised look on her face uraraka assumed that this woman must have been tatsumkai's sister and by the looks of it the older one of the two. Confirming her thoughts the women addressed her but were surprised by the tone the women took.

"Sister, what are you doing here?" fubuki said with what almost appeared to be with a great amount of disdain.

"I was told about your little get together with bang and king, decided to go as well. But let's get one thing straight first, these guys aren't coming along." Tatsumaki remarked before flicking her fingers and uraraka could only stare as the group of gentlemen that were around her sister were sent flying backwards as a wave of pressure struck them, sending them into the nearest building. All except one of them which was a girl, not just any girl but one she recognized it was lily from the photoshoot that flower was still sticking out of hair completely giving her away.

"I'll allow her to stay." tatsumaki said with a huff before picking up the two of them and carrying them off.

"Was that really necessary?" uraraka asked her

"Don't waste your breath." Fubuki remarked as she just sat along for the ride a bit bitter about the whole thing, uraraka guessed that despite being the little sister she was clearly the more dominant one. The four of them stopped for a moment to get some supplies and even a large picnic blanket before all of them rushed off to B-city, uraraka slightly chuckled as the way tatsumaki had them flying was like if they were on a magic carpet.


B-city

All of the groups met up and started to make there way to the designated area, uraraka was a bit miffed that tatsumaki being the person she was refused to let her get off the large picnic blanket to walk alongside her boyfriend she relented in the fact that she didn't completely separate them opting to just float alongside him instead all though they still couldn't physically interact with one another thanks to her power, bakugo still had an headache from that blow saitama delt him having an ice pack for his head as the crew walked but in hope of him telling them exactly what happened was completely shut down even when todoroki was willing to explain instead bakugo despite his headache threatened to give him an even worse one if he even dared to utter a word so they eventually dropped the subject.

The large group were walking until sudden tremors started to emerge from behind him, the group turned and was shocked to see that 5 large sentient cherry blossom trees began marching down the road. They looked like traditional trees only with human-like eyes embedded in round sockets. They were a little disturbing to uraraka, lilly, and charanko but the others didn't seem to mind much if anything, some of them like bakugo and even saitama and mineta were excited to fight them however before anyone could actually begin; todoroki, bakugo, and midoriya were all suddenly caught in tatstumaki's hold while simultaneously putting down, lily and uraraka on the street before anyone could start talking about what she was doing, she spoke.

"Given that these monsters are so weak, I think the lower class should take care of them. Bang, cyborg, king don't interfere." Tatsumaki said with a huff and bang who was prepared to attack the monsters, surprisingly listened to her.

"I can agree to that, ojiro and charanko do your best." bang remarked as he patted both boys on the shoulder pushing them forwards.

"Hey, hey, hey are you serious about this?" charanko said, baffled by the turn of events.

"He's right this is no time to be playing games." Midoriya tried and struggled with getting out of Tatsumaki's field but failed to.

"Ooh the little boyfriend is scared his girlfriend is gonna get hurt, is he? Well suck it up you can't coddle her forever.`` Tatsumaki snapped back, angering Midoriya even more, going to his full power just to realize he still couldn't break the field surrounding him. He looked over to bakugo and todoroki and the same could be said for them as well.

"Calm down midoriya they will be alright, saitama isn't affected by this so she should be fine." Todoroki commented and it was almost as if out of spite as Saitama made a move to step forward bang had put a hand on the man's shoulder.

"You should stay back as well, saitama." bang remarked.

"What do you mean bang? This B-class baldy should be doing his part." tatsumaki immediately addressed

"I recall your sister is also a part of the B-class and he is only 6 ranks below her but she from what I can tell was not going to participate besides there five of them and it is only fair we only send out only five of us." bang reasoned and tatsumaki opened her mouth to reply but seeing how she couldn't argue let the bald hero sit this one out. Midoriya immediately started thrashing about again trying in vain to help if uraraka was hurt because of this then he wou-.

"Have faith in her, she isn't as soft as you think she is." bakugo remarked, stopping all his movements and thoughts cold, turning to his childhood friend who simply looked at him, bakugo made slight head motion towards his front and midoriya followed where he locked eyes with uraraka that fiery determination in her gaze as she nodded towards him and with some reluctance he returned the nod and with that the five "chosen" individuals started forwards towards the 5 monsters, the monsters had recently ran through a small house but tatsumaki ensured that the people inside were safe as she carried them to safety. After a pep talk from ojiro the five of them engaged the tree monsters.

The ensuing fight was rather hard fought for the heroes, the one doing the best initially was lily, her three staff style working abnormally well against the tree monster she was fighting, but tatsumaki quickly found the cause was due to fubuki's influence and quickly cut it out. Which severely reduced her efficiency against the monster tatsumaki once again ridiculed her sister about how her weakness in relying on others and how that girl likely wouldn't be in B-class if it wasn't for the group but fubuki rebuffed her saying that lily made to B-class on her own and it showed as even without fubuki's enhancement she was the first of the five to defeat her monster although her clothes was slightly disheveled from the resulting fight that she apologized to fubuki for but she was just happy that the girl was safe.

The next to finish the tree monster was uraraka surprisingly her orbs were able to make quick work of the trees defenses but when she was about to be surprised by the monster midoriya called out to warn her, quickly swinging around and as a result the spiral right along with her making it completely destroy the attacking root before she finished the tree off by crashing all of her orbs on top of it. The next one to successfully beat the tree monster was mineta he was eager to get the final monster in for his training and this was the perfect opportunity for him to do so while showing off how much he improved to his classmates, the monster was easy to detetain mostly luring it towards a nearby building before sticking to said building and completely launching himself at it again and again slightly splintering the tree with each attack until it fell unconscious.

Ojiro and charanko had a difficult time with their opponents who admittedly from bang said was probably rooted in the fact that the water smashing fist had diminishing effects against non humanoid opponent, while the two disciples could doge the attacks just fine returning the attack proved difficult ultimately ojiro stopped holding back and started to use his tail in fighting and it allowed him to secure the victory fairly easily and soon after he helped charanko finish off his tree as well. The group of C-classes were a little more disheveled than lily herself was uraraka had a cut in her that the demon cyborg said he could repair which he did so, uraraka felt a prick of pain in her arm but demon cyborg simply said that it was a leftover splinter that was lodged their. After all of that was taken care of the group finally made their way toward their picnic sight.

"Hey fubuki, does uravity remind you of someone? I swear it was someone from your useless group." Tatsumaki remarked, fubuki looked at the girl for a moment examining her.

"I can't recall anyone that looks like her, why?" Fubuki asked curiously.

"Well I'm training her, to not end up like you but given that she can only float things and swing them around…I don't know much that I can do with her in that regard but I thought someone from your group did something similar with a weapon." tatsumaki inquired.

"Are you referring to needlestar by any chance?" Lily remarked and Fubuki instantly remembered the troublemaker.

"Yes I could see why, you would seek his help but he's no longer part of my group." fubuki said simply.

"Oh so some of your own people started to realize how stupid it is?" was tatsumaki's immediate reply, earning an angered glance form her sister but before she could reply the conversation was interrupted by laughter from bakugo, turning the woman's gaze towards him.

"And what do you find so funny?" fubuki remarked in a threatening tone but bakugo shrugged it off.

"I just think it's funny that you let your little sister talk down on you so much." bakugo said with a laugh but when he looked back at the women who he expected to just be looking at him with that same silent fury instead she looked at him with an amused smirk to her lips before bakugo could ask what that look was for the "little" sister in question powered flared before he found himself tumbling off into the sky.

"Kacchan!" was all midoriya could say as he watched his friend get launched into the air and out of sight.

"Hmph…I'll have you know barring bang and maybe even king…I'm probably the oldest one here." tatsumaki said simply as she took a bite of her sandwich.

"How old are you ms. tatsumaki if you don't mind me asking?" Uraraka asked, thanking the heavens she didn't mention her being the little sister first.

"I'm 28 yeards old." she said in a tone that seemed to suggest it was an obvious fact although many of the participants were surprised by that fact given her youthful appearance but no one wanted to say anything given what happened to bakugo.

"Yea….Yeah I got you beat by a year." king remarked as swallowed a lump in his throat. His eyes looked skyward and he still couldn't see the teen anymore.

"She got me beat by…5." Saitama remarked as he took a sip of his drink.

"How old are you?" uraraka asked lily

"I'm 14" was the girl's response." earning more surprises from everyone else.

"Wow 14 and already in B-class, that's pretty nice." ojiro remarked, mineta suppressed an ecchi comment regarding her chest size for a girl her age and instead simply said.

"You're pretty cool." the girl flushed at the praise but that was immediately halted as tatsumkai spoke again.

"You're gonna squander the potential you have by wasting your time in that group of hers." tatsumaki said, pointing a thumb at her sister.

"Under my tutelage she has kept on a steady course in the B-class." Fubuki countered and the girl noticeably brightened at the praise remark.

"While ensuring she never grows past that and stays under you." tatsumaki countered back

While the two sisters bickered the 1A teens just looked up in the sky seeing if they could spot bakugo and after five minutes of still not seeing the blonde they got worried but genos ensured that he was alright his enhanced sight could already see the teen rushing down down towards them and another five minutes passed before they could start hearing him again, although midoriya didn't like the look in his eyes as he was racing towards him but before he got there he slammed head first into a large barrier causing him to splat and slide down it in hilarious fashion causing both sisters to finally stop bickering and to laugh at his misfortune.

Midoriya tried to hold in his laughter as he went to check on his friend, mineta and uraraka both tried but failed to hold in their laughter and even todoroki cracked a smile at the display. Bakugo quickly recovered and seeing the people laughing at him inside the bubble decided to attack to get inside but it didn't budge he attacked over and over again just for the bubble to remain unsaved just pissing him off even more, tatsumaki said she would let him inside if he apologized but instead bakugo just mocked her more saying.

"I'm sorry that god skipped over you in the genetics department." which he let out a huge smirk at but Midoriya just shook his head and uraraka face palmed. the next thing bakugo knew was he was suddenly just face down on the ground held there by an invisible weight, it was so heavy that it was starting to bury him into the ground, after several minutes and several complaints from his friends to let him go and midoriya himself starting to bang on the barrier itself from the inside but stopped after it wasn't even affected by his 100% attacks. Tatsumaki just merely noted that he was kinda strong and that only if his girlfriend received a power as useful as his and that made midoriya even more mad hitting the barrier again this time with pseudo 1,000,000% detroit smash and the barrier simply absorbed it and tatsumaki simply said

"Hey, that's pretty good." in response to the attack.

It wasn't until bang said something that she finally relented, relieving bakugo of the weight she was crushing him with and letting him crawl out of the 30 ft deep hole in the shape of his body, he only glared at the girl but said nothing else and tatsumaki merely smirked.

"That's what I thought." she remarked.

"You sure are using 100% more liberally now." bakugo said to Midoriya as he stepped inside and moved next to Midoriya who was powering down after seeing that he was more or less ok.

"Ugh …yeah I can use it completely with no strain whatsoever ever since my time in the hospital, I don't know why really."

"Oh! Did I forget to tell you?" Uraraka exclaimed as the two went to sit back down near the picnic

"Tell me what?" midoirya asked

"When you were under, the doctors noted that your bones were horrendously damaged, so they asked me if they could fix it while reinforcing them while they were at it and seeing how it was nothing but positives. I just…accepted on your behalf…sorry.`` Uraraka said with her head down but Midoirya assured her that she did nothing wrong and the two shared a long hug that was slightly interrupted by tatsumaki as she fake gagged and the rest of the group continued to enjoy their picnic in relative peace or they were about to until midoriya danger sense flared again this time he turned his head just in time to see multiple shuriken that were suspended in mid-air, as a person in black robes and armor emerged from a tree.

"Ugh who is this? A friend of yours baldy?" Tatsumaki complained, not being in the mood.

"No just some stalker of his." genos said for his master, who was steaming from the the comment tatsumaki made.

" I think his name is round bend tonic? Or something like that." Saitama said as he turned to face the man.

"You still don't remember me saitama? Your eternal rival speed o'-" the rest of his speech was completely cut off as he was flung far away from them.

"Who would want to stalk a nobody like you, gosh king you really shouldn't hang around people like this it will ruin your reputation." tatsumaki said simply before chowing down again.

"Wasn't that the guy from the lodge?" todoroki questioned

"Yup." bakugo said simply before he too began to eat.

"He sounded a lot like you todoroki" mineta noted

"Yes, it is very peculiar indeed." Todoroki replied simply as he began to eat as well.

Both uraraka and midoriya exchanged a look before shrugging their shoulders and also began to dig into the food. Now the group finally settled down for a peaceful picnic.

The situation at hand: Sweet mask, Aoyama, Sitch

Aoyama was a bit surprised by the quickness that sweet mask had put things together to get the chief of police whom had the hilariously name of alphabet commander by his subordinates, while humorous aoyama assumed the man had the designation because the cities were named after the alphabet, interestingly the american version he noted.

The day started off overall fairly normal. He and sweet mask were training once again in the room he made for him. Sweet mask had already informed him off the meeting that was going to transpire later on in the day and what truly surprised him was that he was going to be the one leading it well sort of in a way he would be leading only a portion of the meeting that mostly involved outlining the police's place working alongside the association, the conversation they had the other day must have struck something with the man aoyama thought as the two continued to practice.

Given that their practice was going to be cut short for the day didn't mean he would have it easy, quite the opposite the practice was harder than ever, the first obstacle was of course the gravity being increased to 7x of what it was normally align with a total of 10 drones all shooting lasers at him from multiple angels, along with multiple target he had to hit dead center, and last but certainly not least as he was the most dangerous obstacle was sweet mask himself the main reason he needed to hit the targets in dead center was because anytime he didn't sweet mask would hit him even through his armor and enhanced clothing it was incredibly painful which would only result in compounding the problem as he had to fight through the pain to continue to try and aim at the targets another problem arose as his lasers were thrown off the mark by the increased gravity as well which likely contributed to most of his misses on the stationary targets.

After failing four times he ultimately had enough and switched tactics sweet mask simply said to hit the target dead center he never detailed how so instead of tempting another longer range attack he charged the targets instead, the lasers that he was evading for the most part he instead opted to absorb the shot into his gauntlets charging up his suits before directing them into his gauntlets using his navel nails to thrust completely forward into the target sinking in all the way to the base of his fist, he immediately pulled out before switching to his next target with a twirl as he stabbed again in center mass, before dashing forwards and making his way to the next and the next. he eventually scored a hit on all the target before switching his sights to the turrets in the room which do to the distance they were at would force him to fire at them from range and that only proved fruitful especially from the elevated height as the gravity effects on his laser seemingly tripled after failing and being struck multiple times before sweet mask had notified him of a feature of his costume his shoulder pauldrons were able to rotate so his lasers would shoot out from behind him.

he was at first confused about the information and then thought for a moment, he remembered back during the beginning of class that he was able to use his navel laser to propel himself forwards and now he understood what sweet mask was getting at aoyama quickly placed his palm at the center of his navel and constantly fired his laser into it charing up his suit to the maximum capacity it could hold before rolling his shoulder to signal for his pauldron to rotate around and face downwards and then he channeled all of his power into the shoulder pauldrons as they began to glow a bright blue and than he rocketed forwards as the beams escaped him, he was flying he was actually flying he thought in disbelief before he immediately slammed into the roof of the building and slam back down into the ground causing sweet mask to just face palm at the display. Aoyama staggered for a moment getting up but successfully did so before he tried again this time he took a more measured approach and letting out enough so that he could control where he was going, he could even rotate the pauldron again to change his direction a little after he was comfortable enough he started managed to get close enough to reach his targets and swiping at them with his nails, Destroying the drone before continuing on to the others.

After he finished destroying them sweet mask gave a mild compliment which was immediately followed by several negatives on his performance and lambasting him for not being able to come up with the solutions to his problems on his own also the fact that he didn't seemed to know the functions on his suit even though he assured that they came with them…aoyama merely took the berating language before the two continued forwards the two took a shower and got ready for the meeting to begin. While waiting for said meeting sweet mask had given him another pamphlet for his suit which he did remember receiving but he guessed he just got swept up on all the things that's been happening recently to really read the thing but he was pleasantly surprised by the information it listed along with his absorbing gauntlets and daggers he was surprised to find that his suit also had a bunch of different ejection ports for his power which included his elbows, his knees, and even his feet.

Along with that his dark cloak has an invisibility feature and they were working on a shaping field generator but the only progress they made so far in this regard was forming the energy into knives and blades points which would explain why they looked like that when he used his gauntlet ejection ports. After doing some more reading his armor also had a lot of interesting factoids like wear and tear , shock absorbent padding, angled plates for deflection, a self cleaning substance that doubled as a something to make it shine, along with a way to regulate his nausea from his stomach aches.

After a few minutes of waiting the police finally arrived being somewhat fashionable late but none of the hero staff dared question it. Given their demeanor they knew that they had the upper hand in the situation and Aoyama could tell sweet mask was biting his tongue at every accusation the police commander threw at them. The police as expected wanted to be compensated heavily for the slander they put them through along with paying for the damages that happened as a result. These were all things the association would "happily" give them sitch would say, sweet mask was the complete opposite of happy although his anger was not pointed to the police chief but Sitch in fact, from what he could tell the meeting was shaped in the form of the association having to pay reparations to him as well the police commander for lying to him and the people about what really was going on. Aoyama was partly blown away by how manipulative sweet mask was being but he shouldn't have been the man's career was the single most important thing to him other than his looks so he would undoubtedly want to be seen as a victim as well in this situation just in case the negotiations fell through regardless to protect his image.

The next portion of the meeting was focused more on the two forces cooperation, now aoyama expected they weren't really ready to fully cooperate with each other for a moment but the police commander agreed that there are just some things the police can't take care of so they agreed to help the other in time of crisis in the event that such time maybe be needed police would work on evacuating civilians to safety areas while the heroes handled the monsters. The police commander wanted more however given Aoyama and his group's still ongoing mystery as even with their leverage the association refused to give the real details behind the teens and their abilities but they assured that they weren't monsters still which the commander seemed only partially convinced. The commander would have each non-killing army member to help promote the police in the days to come for their cooperation and Aoyama immediately agreed stating that his friends also feel bad about how things have gone down so far. So After some more talking and compensation from the associated front they had officially settled the matter and the meeting concluded. Aoyama could only hope that everyone stuck to their side of the deal.

Give yourself to the rhythm: child Emperor, Forte, Mina, Jiro

Jiro and mina were both headed back to child emperors lab each with some extra pep in their step as each teen were excited for what was to come; mina was excited as this would mark her first day with her teacher Forte in teaching her about his martial arts of his the bonus that get her excited was the way he described it to her previously being about the rhythm and flow of music combing that rhythm to your body, she didn't quite understand the concept completely but she understood enough that there would be a lot of music involved which she could never not be happy about. Jiro on the other hand was excited to test out her new earphone jack casing's as she would call them, spending the last few days going over numerous concepts and features child emperor could include in them and now all that planning should be coming to fruition if child emperors estimates about getting a workable prototype ready by today came to fruition.

The two entered the lab eagerly awaiting their fates, forte was already there waiting and mina was surprised that child emperor had allocated an entire room for them to train in with custom in built speakers, he had the available space given that torax was no longer occupying the area and the two set off towards the designated area while child emperor took Jiro further into the factory where they passed a number of machines and robots working, even passing the massive hulk that he called Brave Giant the robot was still under construction and the child prodigy was still working on a way to power the robot behemoth but he remarked that would have to be saved for later as the two arrived at that similar training area from their first day with the hero and just like that first day.

the floor slowly peeled away as a platform rose up to meet them on the platform this time there was only a singular black box opened box on the platform inside of the box were two small rectangular boxes, the casual observer would probably assumed that they were jewelry of some kind one of the obnoxiously large earrings but instead these were jack amplifiers instead of picking them up with her hands she instead opted to move her earphone jacks into position a insert them into the small boxes instead and the boxes immediately started to shape around her jacks and sliding upwards ad surrounding the objects entirely their was a brief adjustment periods she had to go through how weird it felt to have the things on her along with moving the things around, once she got acquitted with the object attached to them she started on the features.

the first feature was a micro antenna that would increase the range of her hearing actually it almost increased it to much for her liking as she was momentarily spooked by the loud music being played somewhere else in the laboratory and maybe something's going on outside as well but it was hard to tell with all the music just blasting off in her ear, child emperor was impressed as she could hear the music that well even through three layers of sound proof walls and the to soon after went to the direct opposite application, she wanted also the ability to suppress her quirk so that her hearing would be normal or at least somewhat above just incase she had to tag along with koda again or if she had an encounter with some other creature with high pitched sonic capabilities that could disable her due to her enhanced hearing even though she had a direct counter to such techniques having a backup never hurt to have if the situation called for it and it would also allow her to use a different attack as well. The next ability that she got used to wasn't really an ability at all.

it was mostly due with the physical aspects of the equipment it had a eternal temperature scale that would constantly balance it out so that she was comfortable they tested this by sticking her jack next to a blow torch and after a great bit of hesitance she allowed it, the next test she thought was going to be safer but like everything in this world was extreme as well sticking her jack in a vat of liquid nitrogen but thankfully everything worked just fine and after another check to see if everything was still functioning they continued to the next test which was a more physical one the casings doubled as shaped enhancement for her jacks being able to allow her to penetrate completely through 3 cms of titanium like butter but what really made her shocked was what happened when she sent her vibration through an object the resulting vibration on the small robot completely tore it apart and violent fragmenting the machine. Safe to say child emperor already knew what the girl would ask for next and it was to tone that feature way down along with the sharpness of the equipment.


Mina was surprised by how quickly the room changed from just a day prior, unlike the usual jungle landscape that she was used to when the bunnies and torax were in their now the theme was more like a gymnasium for the most part there was still a 1/3rd of the arenas which was still dedicated to the grassy climate which forte informed her was just for the scenery and it would make for a good rest area for when they got tired.

Before they began their training however, Forte wanted to make sure she understood the subtle difference in his martial arts and her dancing. While they may appear similar and use the same moves, the applications and focus of the movements were usually completely different from each other. When mina understood that the two continued on the first thing forte wanted to test about the girl was her stamina, he informed her that rhythm rhythm style was not one to take lightly even accomplish gymnast would struggle to fully use it as it requires a lot of body movement in fact the style required that your body continuously moved as long as the music was playing or the threat was present. So the first exercise was a very simple dance to you can't dance anymore, with those introductions out of the way, Forte tapped on his phone for a moment and Mina was shocked by the incredibly loud sounds of the music that began to blast through the speakers.

Mina attempted to tell the man could they maybe turn it down a bit but the music completely drowned her out so she gestured to her mouth and the hero seemingly got the message but instead of turning off the music or lowering the volume he pointed to a section of the room there was a large jumbo TV located there and then the hero began to type something on his phone and it appeared on the TV screen, the message read that it was Bluetooth set up and that she would be able to connect to it with her phone and the passwords was mad hatter, she quickly link her phone to the device and began to type out what she wanted to say and the hero simply denied her request not seeing the point in turning the volume down, mina shrugged she didn't know what to think about that but she guessed for the current activity not much talking needed to be in order.

So after getting ready, the forte started his timer and the two of them danced and danced. The two went through several different songs and forte even allowed her to put on some of her own songs while they danced and 45 minutes later Mina was finally tired enough to call it quits. She was surprised that the hero was still going just fine however in contrast. The hero noted that they would probably have to work on her stamina making sure to emphasize that as the toll on the body from the constant movement could prove equally dangerous to the person using it as it is dangerous to the person on the receiving end, while mina was recuperating the hero continued to "dance" well more precisely he was giving her a demonstration of his martial arts in action he didn't put the music back on from the speaker instead opting to just putting on his headset again. mina noted some similar moves that she could probably perform if she put her mind to it but she was surprised with the notable changes the style seemed to under go in one moment the hero would move like a breakdancer as his body flowed and swung his legs going around in circles, other moments he would move his body more rigidly almost like he was krumping and even more difference which she assumed was mostly due to the change in the music he was listening to, this hunch proved to be correct as she finally recovered and was ready to start learning.

The first things she learned from the man was the stance she was to be before entering combat, she questioned if stance was the right word given that even in this "stance" she was instructed to never let her body stop moving never stop feeling the rhythm of the song that was playing right than which seemed most closely related to a jamaican beat from back where she was from. The two practiced this stance for several minutes before moving on to other tricks, mina could break dance just fine but turning those moves into attacks proved to be more difficult than she once thought it be, along with attacking she had to keep the rhythm of the song or risk starting over again so along with balancing out with this new style of attack and forcing herself to keep up with the beats didn't leave her much chance to catch her breath, occasionally the hero would throw her a bone and slow the song down or personally try and guide her what she was doing wrong. After another 30 minutes of practice even the forte was showing signs of being tired so the two both took a break for the moment to regain their stamina before going for their next set.

Target practice: Volten, Kaminari

Kaminari quickly made his way over to volten's place unlike before he didn't have to trouble himself with being late and all that from before arriving on time like the good student he believed he was the first thing that the two did was for kaminari to get into his uniform before continuing on to the lessons he had for the day. The two went over several forms and techniques before repeating those very same techniques with lighting augmenting their attacks , kaminari still had difficulty proper maintaining his electricity from time to time the sequence and pace of the attacks would eventually blend together and he would instead of releasing his quirk through the specific body part he would simply start releasing it throughout his whole body and in return he would quickly be punished by volten for such actions harkening back to his own training with drive knight.

The two continued to practice some forms and function including meditation out on the patio of the dojo, the major point of the mediation volten described it as taming the storm within him to better regulate his power, kaminari didn't understand completely but he mimicked volten's own movements as he toyed with lighting in is hands tossing it back and forth as he meditated, kaminari couldn't quite get that level of control just right so instead he focused his power in a different way alternating his quirk between each of his hands, he focused on the feeling he was experiencing as he mediated trying to feel and guide the current through one arm to another similar to how he did when he tried to perform the volten's armor from previously, being careful not to let his power coalesce and get out of control, he was sure that if he actually practiced more calmer applications of his power when he was younger he would have be better at modulation but he guessed he never really needed to why bother trying to focus on a single target when striking multiple got the same job done before and even better in some cases. But obviously now that he's working with his friends most of the time he could see how that could be a problem, something that being made abundantly clear to him in his little nightmares, which doubled again when he thought back to his time in the USJ incident and how momo and jiro had to store themselves away before he could use his quirk.

Thinking back to those days got him thinking about everything happening back home, given that even before their recent activity they could pull something like that off and now they were even stronger while the heroes conversely were even less present. Than prior along with the possibility of all for one coming back the situation back there looked bleak and he couldn't even imagine what the regular people were thinking caught in the middle of all of it, he hoped that his family was doing ok they along with everyone else was stationed at UA and he heard rumblings of UA stepping up it's security by some of its support course students but he still had some doubts about it, but he didn't want to let it show very often how worried he was about back home. But the same couldn't be said for whoever the traitor was that gave all might away and this traitor could have been the same person that got their class attacked three times now. He just couldn't rationalize how someone could do that to people who simply just wanted to help people and make people's lives better…it really grinded his nerves and for a moment he was back to the present as his power slightly flared out jogging him from his thoughts he didn't even realize that he had absorbed a couple of lighting strikes as he was meditating their.

After the initial surprise he entered into his lighting god just so the next lighting strike didn't completely brain fry him. After he emerged into his form him and volten went into some minor sparring while simultaneously testing kaminari's new 6th sense that he called his electro sense although the ability was a nice as it would give him an indication of when and how his opponent would attack him, volten speculated that his body was subconsciously reading the electrical impulses that traveled along the body to induce movement which would explain why the opponents move would appear much clearer the closer he is to them. Surprisingly after their sparring match volten had requested him to fetch his equipment and explain them to him after a discussion on the disks, volten started to work on his shooting, it was a bit awkward at first for kaminari to dawn both of his shooters on at the same time, it really limited the movements he could do maybe he could ask drive knight about combining the two so it wouldn't take up so much space he thought.

Kaminari's first task to do was getting his equipment charged up with electricity, he stood outside and let the lighting hit him again and again as he turned his shooters which drive knight called lighting thrower, into the absorb function, he had a small improvement to its capacity , now it was able to absorb around 600 million volts of electricity before reaching full capacity. After fulfilling his lighting thrower the two began with some basic shooting exercises focused at the bottom of the cliff under the dojo the targets were nothing but slightly large rocks which were easy targets at least initially to improve his training volten forsaken kamianri's visor attachment to his equipment forcing him to manually aim to hit the targets which caused him to miss a number of times but after a few minutes he got the hang of it but than he practice again this time on moving targets.

Volten would launch rocks up into the air and kaminari were to destroy them but they were simply to fast he was only able to hit one out of the 10 rocks the older man had thrown which meant he still had a ways to go, the next exercises was even more difficult as he had to fire while on the move himself which caused a whole host of other issues to occur not only because moving and shooting was incredibly difficult but the reason he had to stay on the move was because volten was attacking him and he was the target he was supposed to shoot and him being faster than he was meant that it was almost impossible even when he tried to cheat and use his pointers to tag him and just direct his electricity to it but that proved also impossible so he still failed this assignment as well which meant more intense training, kaminari sighed at his circumstance.

Working smarter not harder: Pig god, darkshine, bone, kirishima, sato

Sato and kirishima were back in gym with darkshine and bone, both teens were still as eager to continue their practice especially sato who still beat himself up over letting the rock monster get away the other day so he pushed himself even further in his training so that he could possibly catch up to kirishima and bone, he once again lamented the fact that how he was training had mostly hurt his progress going forwards and wondered how strong he would have been if he had originally just train regularly instead of while eating sweets, him and kirishima were basically even in the beginning of the year and now the red head was far ahead of him but it only inspired him to do better, if he could get so much better than that meant that he could as well.

The training they underwent was fairly normal first they were under the instruction of darkshine following under his guidance with weight lifting and pushing their bodies to the brink, sato asked if he could take on some extra weight just to the side and darkshine reluctantly agreed as long as the extra wasn't to much for him to bare as he emphasized that he should also strive to protect and nature his muscles carefully while overexerting them could lead to actually negative results, he also incentives taking breaks every now and again to give their muscles time to rebuild themselves from all the weight lifting they been doing recently, and to that effect they didn't really lift too much this time around and had three breaks over the normal two they would have originally. After their standard conditioning, stretching and weight lifting exercises, the three of them got on the treadmill again to practice over their stamina and speed over all they had gotten slightly faster than they were previously, reaching a speed of mach 1.5 in their base states.

After their second break and some sparring with bone, sato decided to call it for the moment and headed over to practice with pig god, meanwhile kirishima and bone went to work on what they discussed the other day. Bone had instructed kirishima to focus on certain spots just to see if the teen could perform the task and for the most part he could. So for their next exercise bone would call out a type of punch or attack that he would deliver to kirishima and in that moment he was supposed to hardened the specified body part, at first bone started out fairly simply with uppercuts which required him to harden his chin, kidney shot which made him harden his stomach, right jab which meant Harding his right cheek, low left kick which meant hardening his left calf muscles, than throat punch, followed by a head but and so on and so forth.

That was only the first stage of the training bone remarked, the next stage of the training was assigning the attack a certain number and he would have to remember the attack and harden the specific body part required of it, this level was fairly difficult for kirishima he wasn't the best at using his mind for the most part in a fight and bone insisted that was the problem with him, the next level up from that was having him become blindfolded while he called out the attack names, and the very last level of the training was bone calling out an attack but he wouldn't call out what direction the attack was going to land in an attempt to force kirishima to react quickly to the attack and harden that body part before it landed, which was a lot easier said than done a number of times kirishima was simply to slow or hardened the wrong place which as a result caused him to be hit directly and bone wasn't exactly holding back that much the only grace was that he didn't involve any of his bone enhancements during the practice which meant his punches didn't pack as much damage as they could have but it was still enough to really rock him to his senses a couple of times and when kirishima attempted to cheat the system by just hardening his entire body darkshine was their as a warning simply roughly poking the teen in the shoulder completely shattering his false confidence of protection from the blow. After an 1 hour of this grueling treatment he was finally allowed a break for 15 minutes before they would start back up again, he crashed on the bench immediately, his body sore all over especially his calves from a couple of low kicks that managed to slip through.


Sato walked through the halls of the hero association HQ and proceeded to where he assumed pig god was waiting for him which was a nearby kitchen, now that he really thought about when was the last time him and pig god really trained together just the two of them? It felt like it's been forever but he was sure that it couldn't have surpassed that of a week. They were originally working on his greatest weakness being that of drawbacks of his quirk, till this day it marked his greatest weakness in battle given that if he was careless he could be rendered not only useless but liability in the field. While the small pills helped dramatically increase his longevity in everyday hero work given just the large quantities he could store within his pouches he didn't want to completely rely on that in the case that if his counting was correct he could fit 30 pills in one of his pouches which multiplied by 6 pouches at each of his and given his time frame of 10 minutes each meant that in totality he had a total of 25 hours he could spend consistently using his power which to be fair seemed like enough for him, he doesn't believe that there would ever be a time where he would have to fight for 25 hours straight but that didn't take into account the chance that some of his pouches accidentally spill over and drop some. He may need to get some type of device that could tell him how many pills he had in his pouches just so he could retreat for resupply if the situation called for it.

He continued to think of ways he could improve himself as he continued to the kitchen and there he found pig god as he expected but he was talking to someone else after greeting the hero he introduced himself as Food Battler Futoshi he was also a hero C-class rank 66. Food battler and pig god apparently shared somethings in common in how they both liked to eat a lot of food leading them to be somewhat acquainted with each other in fact pig god was his inspiration to become a hero in the first place, he explained how pig god was a living legend for the plus sized community being able to make it all the way to S-class and eve despite the way he fights other clamor to be like him. Food battler was also unique in that the way his body worked was that he could draw upon his fat stores for extreme boost of energy and athleticism but at the risk of burning out. Pig god took the opportunity to have the two spar against each other for training purposes and food battler agreed, the only concession was that sato was only allowed to use two of pills during the fight and the fight doesn't end until one of the hit's the mat. The three agreed to the match as they began.

The fight between food battler and sato was a relatively even affair just like food battler had told him prior he was extremely athletic and fast for his size, every punch that he would try to throw at the large man was either dodged or outmaneuvered it wasn't just that he was fast either , the way he dodged around his attacks was a fairly strange one as well. The counter to that was that food battler wasn't much of a fight as sato could clearly tell as he compared his technique with that of bone, darkshine, or even punches the man threw at him were fairly simple to read and block but due to his unnatural speed his counters would always fall just a little off their mark getting at best a glancing blow. food battler confirmed his thoughts saying that his specialty doesn't really revolve around fighting monsters and that he was more in to rescuing civilians or distracting monster enough for some other hero to come take it out which sato found nobel everyone could pitch in in their own ways to protect people he thought, but that didn't take away from his agitation he had of trying to catch the man who simply ran around the ring away from him.

Sato noticed that he was getting smaller and smaller as he ran however his stomach kept getting smaller and smaller which he assumed what he meant by burning out if he fought for to long which meant he was close to victory in their bout well he hopped so at least, he was down to his last pill so it all came down to who would burn out first and after 30 minutes of fighting between the two both of them were on the brink of collapse without either even being able to land solid blow on the other. Sato was barely conscious of his environment as his mind and body just felt numb, food battler wasn't much better while he as fully conscious of his actions having burned all of his fat stored left his body in an emancipated state where he could barely move much without simply falling over and it was here where pig god announced the true battle will be decided as each person was in their weakest element.

Both combatants slowly and sluggishly moved towards each other food battler was the first to throw a slow punch and sato despite being delirious was able to recognize the threat and move out of the way of the attack but he couldn't find his balance and continued to fall from his dodge and something similar happened to food battler the punch he threw carried most of his weight forwards and he just didn't have any energy to catch himself as the blow missed making him fall as well and both of them hit the mat at the same time, pig god simply chuckled at the spectacle thinking the two still had some ways to go as he handed food battler some chips and got sato some water.

Float like a feather sting like a feather: Koda

Koda woke up for the day fairly nervous, he wouldn't truthfully say it out loud but torax did frighten him a bit and having him so close in proximity really did put him on edge but he was pleasantly surprised to see the tiger just relaxing on the floor of his room. He laid out some blankets for the large tiger to sleep on that was originally there for aki who instead was sleeping in the bed with him, he had requested for a larger bed fearing something like that would happen so there was plenty of room for the both of them but that didn't mean it was completely without problems, he definitely had to be worried about being clawed in his sleep especially with aki's larger than size claws so to prevent such measures he would often have to file her nails down before going to bed which in of itself could prove a hassle if she didn't want it to happen but in that case he would just allow her to sleep on the floor but with torax taking up floor that could be a problem in the future well depending on how fast the association takes to create their own little extension he thought.

He wasn't the only one concerned about him, he realized as Iida had opened the door to his room just to check up on him in the morning and see that everything was ok, along with some of the others like Mina and Jiro.

after they assured that he was ok he sat out for the day, now that torax was with him he hoped that he didn't draw too much extra attention in his classes but that brought another thing he needed to do now that torax was staying with him that meant that he needed to be able to feed him as well, although torax said he could "hunt" for himself he didn't want to risk an incident so instead he decided after his classes that he would head over to a local store or butcher shop where he could pick out some slabs of meat for the the both of them although he should read up on things about tigers just in case he needs to know something that could negatively affect him although him being a monster he didn't know how much that will actually apply to him. So the three of them were out on the road heading towards his boxing training in R-city.

{So what are we doing today human?} torax asked

{where going to go watch a bunch of humans punch each other in the face} aki replied for koda, earning a chuckle from the teen.

{not exactly, but I guess it's close enough…I have boxing classes I need to attend to}

{ and what is this boxing?} torax inquired

{it's not far off from what, aki said. Human's kind of punch each other in the face or body a lot of times until the time is up or your opponent drops.} koda explained

{and humans willing subject themselves to this because?} torax replied

{well for numerous reasons really, it pays well, if you're good, that is, some do it for sport, and others like me do it to simply be able to protect themselves} koda said, rubbing the back of his head.

{I see.} torax said simply

{It's pretty boring though we can't do much of anything while we're there.} aki remarked glumly

{Yeah sorry about that but that reminds me…could you…umm…could you not talk normally like a human while there I don't want to freak everyone else out in the gym.} koda twisting his fingers in his lap.

{sure…wouldn't want to cause trouble on my second day free.} Torax said simply and Koda nodded his head.

{thank you, when I'm done I was planning to head to a butcher shop so we could get you guy's something to eat alright?} Koda said and aki yipped happily while , tora merely huffed out while nodding.

Koda finally arrived in R-city and the gym for his training he quickly exited the hero associations car and hurried the two monsters inside before to many people saw them, obviously once inside he wasn't completely out of the clear either a number of the gym staff and participants were still just getting warmed up to having aki their she wasn't that much larger than a dog so it wasn't to much of a problem but torax was a different story even in his shrunken form he was still bigger than a tiger similar in size to a ligon which promptly freaked everyone out when he first entered the gym but they tried to play it off like they weren't but they noticeably moved to the exact opposite of the gym just to get away from them.

{so much for that plan} torax murmured out. But Koda didn't reply as he was almost immediately accused by his coach.

"You know this place isn't some god damn zoo right? You can't just be bringing animals in here all willy nilly the cub was one thing but that tiger is massive if it hurts someone that's just a lawsuit waiting to happen." coach Tyson said. Koda merely nodded his head.

"Yes I understand but I can promise you he won't bother anyone. I have to take him for my hero work.`` Koda said. The coach just did a heavy sight before rubbing a hand through his hair.

"You ensure that it doesn't , because it'll come out of your wallet and no more after this one you got me." the coach stated firmly. And koda snapped to attention.

"Yes there will be no more than these two on my word." koda said firmly

"Good now get to it like everyone else and tell them to wait over in the designated area." the coach said before turning around and Koda nodded his head before telling Aki to take torax with her to where she usually waits around, which were essentially by the bleachers in the room.

In terms of coaching koda was just one of the twelve students that was also taking lessons from the coach, but he was also one of the only two cruisers weights in the class everyone else being mostly lighter class and their being one heavyweight in the class, despite that however the coach still had them all perform similar tasks the day would start out initially with some light exercises to get their blood flowing followed closely by multi-kilometers run, the objective was to keep up with the coach who was on a scooter while the rest of the class followed behind him it was an exhausting procedure for the most part but after finishing they weren't allowed to stop the next segment of the training was usually followed by practicing footwork and how to move and shimmy from left to right simultaneously keeping light footed but also remaining balanced, now the training would change depending on the weight class your in usually as the larger fighter would inevitably have a tough time keeping up with their smaller counterparts to that end however the coach still wanted to emphasize the importance of movement and footwork. The next assignment was working on their weaving skills.

the coach had large metal poles sticking out of the wall where the students were supposed to do 3 reps of 30 weaving up and under the poles while they remained stationary the problem lied on how low the poles were they were at their highest 5'8 which meant that koda and the other cruiser weight would have to really go down low to completely go under and go to the other side which wreaked havoc on his back. They took a short 10 minutes break before moving on to the next assignment this time mostly focusing on guarding and attacking, jabs, straights, hooks, uppercuts and plethora of other techniques were first demonstrated and then wanted to be performed again and again on a punching bag. The last part of training would usually revolve around some light padded sparring this was the subjectively the worst part for koda as it clashed with his nature at heart, he never really was much a a fighter and he didn't like hurting others so when it came to sparring he had a tendency to pull his punches which his coach would constantly get on him for and his opponents really did have that problem going off the blows they would do to him, he would practice with the one other person that was in his weight class and higher before sitting out and watching over the other sparring matches the coach wants his students to learn from each other and if they could imagine what would be like if they were fighting the person in the ring at that very moment he called it shadow boxing but koda couldn't quite get the hang of that ability just yet but the coached ensured that he'll get the hang of it eventually.

After practice his posse of monsters soon left and while out on the street he opted to change into his hero clothes just so the public could be better at ease with the two animals he was walking with, he found that a number of individuals instead of being scared of the two creatures that were walking with him were actually emboldened by when they saw it was him often asking if he could take pictures with him and the animals but for the most part with the animals, bad didn't really mind it as far as he was concerned koda wasn't really a burden anymore although he did have comments about his costume still and how tacky it was, which koda mostly brushed it off as him being bad so he mostly rolled with the punches, after picking up his sister bad was adamant of not having torax too close to her, he still didn't trust the tiger to much and torax didn't make that any better when he scared her classmates because they were "bothering" him to much. So after de-escalating that situation bad took koda to the nearest butcher shop where after letting the two monster sample a couple of the selectable he bought around 10 pounds of meat believing that it should hold them for some time at least he hoped it would and he was actually shocked by how much it was not really paying attention to such things normally but thankfully the association paid him well for the most part besides if they are also eating the monsters they fight now so he was sure they would be plentiful enough to satisfy them.

Second times the charm: atomic disciples, Sero

Sero had woken up today mostly just going through the same paces as he always had ever since getting this ghost stuck inside of him, while the ghost had stopped using his body in the dead of night to go attack his friends well according to it anyways but that didn't mean he would let his guard down he still had those machines that momo had created for him that would destroy his tape before it left his elbow's and he would put it on every time before he would go to sleep and he would have momo unlock the things in the morning. He had spent the better part of yesterday brainstorming ways that he could get more creative when fighting, setting traps was cool and all but that would require a lot of prep time that wouldn't lend itself to random encounters and the occasional and essentially get good advice that the disciples and the ghost would give him didn't really help much in that endeavor no matter how "simple" they claims it to be.

He thought about that other hero again thinking someone like him would probably yield some better advice given that they fight in very similar ways. If anything he should have an even more difficult time in fighting given that he would have to get into close range to utilize his rope tying skills, so he should really get in contact with him again, that is if he could find the hero at all, he didn't get any contact info on their first meeting due to the erratic nature of how that concluded and now thinking on it some more he wouldn't blame the guy for not wanting to be around him just in case something like that were to happen again. Well it wouldn't hurt to ask either way he supposed he needed to get better and while training with the samurai has its benefits they were still complete opposites however so he could really only learn so much from them that is when they would slow down for him.

So once again back at the dojo in J-city he found it fairly peculiar that they didn't have much of a home base besides the council of swordsman's headquarters he guessed that it works plenty enough as is but he was curious why the spring mustachio character would never arrive here like the rest of them but he was informed that they only meet up their for his sake as that was the only place he knew where to go and meeting them their was closer to each of their respective homes instead of heading out to A-city to meet up, which he could respect. After their morning exercises and training amongst each other sero came forwards to the disciples with his plan of action he and the disciples simply agreed and wished him luck for a moment he was surprised that they weren't going to be goin with him on his time away but they reasoned that it was his choice to make and that they weren't going to keep babying him forever, so with a few farewells he was off to find monster ropper.

Sero didn't have much clue on where he would need to go or where he would even look to find the hero but after walking extensively around J-city for a moment decided that he needed to find a better approach. He left off to the nearest shelter and went to go look for a committee member of the city, he remembered sato and asui had told the group about how committee members were essentially your one stop shop for all the information revolving around the city you were in so he had hopped that information included heroes that were inside of them. And he was in luck, as the committee member had informed him while monster roppers main city was here he was out on "loan" to x-city. sero was interested and pressed for more information while heroes were stationed by the hero association the cities themselves can converse amongst each other for favors or trades or loans of a certain hero class if they're hero will be injured or sick for some time, obviously this would leave the city that the hero loaned from weakened so the city requesting the loan will usually have to reimburse the city that accepts in one way or another.

Sero found the system fairly interesting, if not completely strange but it made sense to him somewhat they were living on a supercontinent with that was larger than Asia itself but comparatively had lesser heroes than even japan back in their world so they must be spread out pretty thin to cover so much ground and giving away a hero could prove disastrous as monster attacks could happen at any given time. The committee member mentioned that only reason they felt so comfortable lending out their heroes was due to having the base of operation of the council of sword masters nearby which meant they had 1 S-class hero and 4 S-class "weirdos" in the city to protect them. Sero mentally chuckled at the weirdo part they really do call people that kill monsters outside of the association that huh.

But something that worried him in the back of his head was the reason ropper was loaned to X-city as he began his way over their, was because reportedly a number of heroes 10 C-class heroes and 4 B-class heroes were attacked and hospitalized their injuries ranging from broken noses to broken bones in various states of disrepair, while they would ultimately be fine after a couple of weeks in the hospital they all shared a similar message that they were attack by some guy calling himself a monster and hero hunter, which made him nervous to enter the city in general, he almost forgot about the midoriya's warning about the guy but he guessed he was already making moves around, he remembered the description of his hair was the greatest give away a silvery white in the shape of a V. he would keep an eye out just in case.

After arriving in the city he began his search for his hero in question and after 30 minutes of looking he finally found him, as he initially assumed the hero was extremely cautious around him especially since unlike last time he didn't have the samurai with him in the advent that he flipped out actually that was a very damn crucial problem indeed if the ghost got control of his body and no one was their to stop him there was no telling what he could do, the ghost ensured that he wouldn't do anything but he couldn't believe that for one second, he explained to monster ropper what was going on with him and after a moment of thinking sero was surprised when he agreed to still help him out although given his condition they weren't going to do any sparring anytime soon and the hero was reluctant to even have him join him in combat unless necessary but sero could watch and observe him from the sidelines and that's what he did.

Sero observed the hero while he worked marveling at the precision the hero had in each encounter his hands were always a blur of motion before coming off his tied target he saw how the hero would always wait and counter the monsters move before performing his wrapping, already pulling out the knot tied ropes that he used to trap his enemies. After watching this happen three times in a row it got sero thinking about how he could technically adopt a similar strategy for himself, I mean while he didn't have extensive knowledge in tying things together like he was but unlike his rope his tape was naturally sticky so he could tie them up with only using a quarter of the movements the hero did. Although the tricky part would be using his tape so closely he hasn't really trained in such maneuvers but with this hero's help that could change.

The two were heading off to the next monster crime scene when sero had quickly grabbed monster ropper and jumped away as he spotted a eerily suspicious man walking away from where the monster was supposed to be, ropper shell reacted quickly trying to pull away thinking that he had switched again but he assured the hero that he was calm and that he was just worried about the guy walking down the street.

"Your clearly worried about this individual more than I thought if your this scared to even face him"

"Yeah the guy's no joke he beat up a bunch of thugs and three high tier heroes of course I'd be." sero responded

"Then he would make an excellent host for me!"

"Wait what no!"

Sero was so antsy and nervous that he let his guard down and the ghost was able to fully control his body again before he could attempt to fight it off. Sero watched as his body moved on it's own and continued to towards the man unimpeded and sure enough he wasn't mistaken in his choice to hide away that signature hairstyle and color was obvious align with his build but the man didn't seem to want to attack well at least not originally that changed as the two past each other and the ghost attempted to stab him in the back with a tape he extended from his elbow but suddenly as if in a flash of air he was out cold…..and their the two conscious looked at each other while waiting for his body to wake up.

"Nice going there, you almost had him." sero said full of sarcasm

"This body is pure trash." the ghost said simply.

"Sure pass the blame on to me, you know I told you he was good right? But you didn't listen." sero said with a sigh as they waited and waited, sometime later he finally woke up , thankfully he wasn't to worst for ware but his neck was killing him he woke up to ropper shell standing over him, he was going to explain what happened and why he wanted to avoid that guy but monster ropper shell already could summarize judging from the ambulances that past by with heroes in them. Sero sucked in a breath before cracking his neck a few times, he told ropper shell of what he wanted to learn from him but for the moment he just wanted to go get an Ice pack.

Embarrassing circumstances: Flash, watchdog man, Iida, Asui

Asui started her day as normal traveling her way down towards Q-city and just like previously she was swooshed off immediately upon exiting the armored shelter towards the beach where watchdog man had her things waiting for her, she was a bit surprised that he wanted to get the clothing back but she eventually thought it was better then her logging the heavy things around with her, unlike with uraraka she didn't have the power to make things weightless which mean heavier object far more easy to move around so carrying a literal ton on her at all times would be extremely taxing for her. After getting her bearings again she quickly went inside and changed, before exiting back outside to an awaiting dogman who grabbed her traditionally hero clothes and left off somewhere before returning, she was surprised that the dog hero actually stayed around this time around unlike previously where he just left her, this time he stayed next to her side as the two continued to walk around the city she thought walk but she was more like hopping around the city while watchdog man was walking like a dog.

She found having the hero by her side was rather comforting. She still wasn't completely used to having this new suite of hers on so fighting in it was still dangerous for her as she could see from the other day. watchdog man on the other hand felt completely natural walking the way he was maybe it was do to how much he practiced it but she could never think of hopping being her normal method of transportation, it would looks so weird which wasn't necessarily bad per say but the drawbacks of constantly having to wash your hands from being on the ground or watch out for hazards as well. That was one thing she thanked the suit for; it was very well insulated and well made, if she had accidentally hopped into a small puddle or accidentally stepped in mud she wouldn't even have felt it. which made her curious on if watchdog man ever felt the blood that was often leaking of his paws while he worked, well dahlia and the committee often wash him so maybe the suit has some form of water proof feature she could test that by jumping into the water or something but she didn't want to ruin, the gift had given her if she turned out to be wrong

As the two progressed down the street, numerous people began to make way for them as they passed some giving head pats or rubs to watchdog man as they passed, some people attempted to do the same thing to her but she would either tell them to stop or if someone was getting to ahead of themselves would use her tongue to smack the encroaching hand away, usually the people that did this were self imposed fans of hers but that didn't make her feel any better about them, some of them were ok though…some people would offer her a bite to eat as they past such as an apple or some ice cream for her hard work and effort in helping around in the community, but those gifts only lead her to another problem with her suit.

the limited articulation that it offered her was another disability befalling to her she couldn't really stand up completely and while she could outstretched her arms it would take effort to keep it their which either meant she had a time limit on how long she could hold something before just dropping it when her arms get tires or as watchdog man actually wanted from her was to use her tongue more often for such things. She didn't mind too much given that her tongue was essentially self cleaning in its use so it was never dirty despite how many things she wraps it around but other people may not see it that way, so when using doors or forced to use doors she would either let someone get it for her or force her body in a position where she could get it herself.

The two heroes had worked together to stop a couple of petty criminals, working together may have been an exaggeration on her part however as watchdog man didn't really fight that much in any of the encounters unless he was absolutely forced to as she was going to be overwhelmed other times criminals would just immediately surrender if they even caught site of the dog costuming wearing hero.

"You seemed to be taking it easy today. Usually you would be zooming off by now" tsu said to the dog hero as they waited for dahlia and her crew to arrive and arrest the criminals they had just encountered, watchdog man merely nodded before replying.

"Flash is here and from what I can smell another of your friends as well." watchdog man said simply, asui remembered the name which meant the person he was talking about was Iida, she didn't want her friends to catch her in a suit like this but before she could even comment on the remarks the brush of the wind and the sound of Iida's voice immediately drew her to her current predicament.

"Asui?" Iida inquired surprise and confusion clearly in his tone of voice

"Iida, ribbit?" Asui said with equal bits of confusion, it wasn't because she was suddenly there ,she expected to be when she felt the wind race past her face but what did surprise her was that Iida wasn't exactly normal either, instead of walking normally he was instead doing a handstand walking that way but she didn't see flash anywhere near him as far as she could see but that was halted as a giant gust of wind seemingly encompassed her all at once before settling down again once she could finally see, their presumably the man was his long blonde hair and blue eyes were the tail tail indications but what he was doing to Iida currently was what really cemented that fact, instead of stopping and standing their like a normal person, he was using Iida legs as a chair as he stared down at her and watchdog man.

"It seems you were a little slow on the mark this time dog hero." the man voiced

"Can you get off him." Tsu immediately replied, flash turned his attention to the girl dressed in a frog costume.

"I guess this was the one that association put under your wing? Why am I not surprised that they would turn out like this." flash remarked

" It's ok tsu." Iida remarked, making the girl gulp back down the tongue strike that she was about to aim at the blonde hero.

"And for your information, he didn't actually respond to the monster threat, ribbit." asui said instead.

"A likely story." Flash responded simply.

" A monster has appeared 30 miles from here down on the beach, best get on that." watchdog mentioned casually.

"Oh is that a challenge?" flash asked

"An observation is more like but take it how you like." watchdog man replied simply and in the next second both heroes were gone as a strong gust of wind threatened to knock over both asui and Iida but while asui was able to hang on due to her lower center of gravity Iida's wasn't so lucky and he lost his balance completely causing him to fall face forwards but asui attempted to catch him but the unexpected weight dragged her down along with him falling face first.

"Sorry about that tsu, I forgot to mention my weighted clothing." Iida said as he got into a seated position.

"Oww..it's…it's no problem." asui said wanting to rub her head but given the way her suit worked required her to exaggerate the effort, before taking a seated position herself.

"Your new hero costume is….." Iida said trailing as he couldn't find the right words to describe it.

"It's not my new costume, it's my training gear I suppose offered by watchdog man, it's weighted I guess like your mine weighs a literally ton from what he's told me." asui

"I see well, my suit is ..1800kg when translated is nearly two tons." Iida said after thinking for a moment.

"Why did he have you standing like that?" asui questioned

"Ah that was mostly for "training purposes" I have to walk on my hands everywhere we go after leaving the hero association." Iida remarked

"woah , that sounds intense. Ribbit, ``Asui said.

" You have an interesting posture as well, what's up with that?" Iida asked

" This suit is mirrored off of frog biology so it can only extend so far, this is the resting position of the suit which forces me to basically hopp everywhere I go to actually get anywhere. Ribbit" asui remarked.

"Ah I see, he wanted you to lean more on his frog instincts like he does his dog ones." Iida said, tsu merely nodded in agreement, the two waited around for a moment for their teachers to get back but they didn't in actuality both were surprised it took this long for either of them to return, tsu managed to maneuver just enough to get to her look at the watch on her wrist that tracked watchdog mans movements around the city and was surprised when it was simply moving everywhere at extreme speed.

"Well it seems like watchdog man is busier than I thought." asui commented showing Iida the watch and the heroes movements Iida gasped at the speed he was moving it seemed almost as fast as flash was, there was a brief gust of wind that passed them by as Iida was suddenly again in his handstand position all of a sudden and figure that was flashed that just past them by just then.

"Well I more or less expected something like this to happen." Iida remarked

"What happened? Ribbit?" asui asked, she would have put her finger to her chin as she normally did but the suit restrictions made her stop the attempt from too much effort, she never realized how much of a tick that was.

"Well If I had to guess both watchdog man and flash are competing against each other at the moment. From my research into the flash and his fanbase they are in constant debate against watchdog man fans on who is faster between the two. While flash claims not to care about such conversations it clearly gets to him." Iida remarked.

"So they're racing around the city to see who can kill the most monsters?" asui summarized

"I assume so." Iida said simply

That just left the two of them not knowing much of what to do, asui had imagined that she saw something gray leave from behind Iida as the two began to walk away looking for something to do while their teachers got on with their competition.

Tank tops back to full strength: Tank toppers, shoji

Shoji was currently still practicing his throwing techniques with the tank tops unlike previously where he was partnered with tank cop and tank doctor, this time however he was partnered with tank cop and tank philosopher, now that he thought more on it he should have just asked philosopher in the first place other than tank girl, he was the only other member in the tank tops that he was really close with and while tank doctor could give a detailed analysis on his tank top placement on his body or give institute instruction on what he gets wrong in his posture but he couldn't really coach the obvious mystical aspects of the tank top and which he scoffed at the notion of, which surprised shoji.

Unlike philosopher that believed that there was a sort of mystical type of force in the universe that grants power or something like that, tank doctor as his name implied was one to deal with science and things you could naturally include, he decided that his increase of strength and speed was mostly down to the fabrics involved in his tank top combined with his unique biology and most importantly the confidence his new tank tops gives him as it clearly shows him as an official member, he likened it to like a constant boost of adrenaline that would allow his body to surpass his limits for as long as he wore the tank top. Shoji pondered the possibility and reasoned that could be true as well. He did feel somewhat better when he put the tank top on for his hero work so there could be some possibility to it, in either case something was going down with the tank tops created by tank stitches maybe if he asked him about how he creates the tank tops maybe he could get to the bottom of it or at the very least settle the tension between philosopher and doctors arguing viewpoints.

But that was for another time as he got back to practicing, like he said before tank doctor couldn't really explain the mystical aspects of the art of throwing with the tank top and while tank cop could somewhat explain the interaction he didn't have a complete grasp on how things worked either, he simply being more of a natural with his gifts with the tank top instead of needing to work on it like everyone else. Philosopher explain the mechanisms somewhat more clearly but still as mytchically as before he described channeling the power of his tank top from his core directly into his hands before launching the object he is trying to throw as that will enshroud the object with the said power and which will obviously launch it at incredible speed but it will also have the added benefit of keeping it's structural integrity along the entire length of time in the air until it hits an object, wherein along with the damage of the object is imparted along with an additional damage from said tank top energy enshrouding it.

It was a weird explanation on how it all worked but it would explain why tank cops bullets were completely fine after he would throw them off like a rail gun, so he didn't question it. He focused his breathing and tried to center his body and mind on the rock that was in his hands. He went forwards and continued onwards mirroring the poster that tank doctor showed him the other day and before releasing the rock he clenched down on it before he began to wind it up for the throw this clenching was supposed to be what imparted the tank top power into the object preparing it for the throw but as he threw it, nothing spectacular happened it was just a regular throw.

He was for a moment discouraged by the act but tank philosopher let him on a tip that he was hoping for success instead of believing in success when he committed to the toss, he reminded him that the tank top power grants those who believe in it, it offers more power than those that didn't and shoji nodded his head in understanding, he picked up another stone and concentrated remembering the form and posture tank doctor showed him along with the advice that philosopher just imparted on him now he believed that this would work and suddenly he felt a chill run through his veins and almost exit his body as he clenched his hand around the rock again and the rock seemingly went cold like it was in a freezer.

he opened his eyes as he wounded back and threw the rock and was shocked as a sonic boom was heard as the rock left his hand and soared into the sky they were in a ravine with a steep rock slope on the other side which he assumed the rock would hit if he aimed correctly but no impact was heard as the water settled back into place, tank philosopher and tank cop whooped and cheered but shoji was still confused about where the rock had gone but tank cop explained that he simply said he clenched a little to hard on the object and it was crushed mid flight, tank philosopher explained that he would need to gauge how much tank power he can poor into an object if he pours to much the object could be crushed in transit, to little and the object would either decompose in mid air from the strain or simply not go as far as it should to reach the target or not hit with the same punch as he would have liked.

But despite that both clapped for his efforts as it was a great first step in their progress they continued practicing for a moment before heading back to tank top headquarters to give the group the good news. As they entered inside, Shoji was surprised that everyone was there as well as four additional people he had never seen before. The tank girl introduced them as tank barber, tank shaven, tank sumo, and tank demon. Given the obvious naming schemes she didn't go into much detail about most of them besides tank demon, he wore a strange long nosed oni mask that was completely colored red instead of black.

She said that despite the mask he was actually a fairly swell person as long as the mask was kept on with it off he changed drastically and basically tried to fight anything he saw whether friend or foe, well shoji made a mental note to be careful around him before they continued on. Tank top master had gathered them all there to celebrate not only the return of the four members from their "MD operation" which tank girl informed him was just a code phrase for they were injured and in the hospital. They were celebrating their recovery and that the tank top army was back up to its full strength again even better he remarked with shoji being around and it was an even greater round of applause when they found out his progress in the tank top throw, before they all left to go get a bite to eat.

Hide and seek: Jackie, Toru

Today was another day just like the previous day, toru was taking her training a bit more seriously than she had prior, making sure to push herself just to see what she could do in each activity that bomb gave to her, she was proud to see that she has quickly progressed in speed so far being one of the fastest in the class to finish in the run around the base.

She also progressed further in her sparring with Fred, while she still couldn't beat the top student, she became one as for herself being able to compete for the top 10 spot of the class more consistently now when it came to sparring, learning, and even the whirlwind itself. Which technically isn't saying much in a class of 24 but given how relatively new she was it was treated as a good achievement.

Jackie wasn't one to be jealous either in fact bomb noted that the due to how close the girls seemed to have grown pushed her to progress as well albeit at a slower pace than toru was. Jackie had been there twice the length of toru but just within the first month of she was already equal and now clearly she was superior although bomb reasoned that the reason for such potentially likely lies in each individuals reason for seeking strength in the first place, it also helped that toru was practicing with ojiro nearly daily, his brother martial arts is great for pointing out the flaws in ones own style and ensuring up one's posture when striking, which was the only thing Jackie would point to as her being superior than she was whenever they seriously sparred against one another.

Today was a different day for the class as bomb asked for toru's assistance for the day's assignment, today he was teaching his students how to combat the whirlwind in the case they may have to face it one day, which as expected garnered many murmurs amongst the students about some student going rouge or something of that nature occurring but bomb quickly dismissed such issues, that hasn't happened to any of his students yet at least he added in thought but he wanted to prepare them just incase something indeed does happen and they find someone capable of using it. As he told the class before there is not much to visually see when under attack but they must feel for it a subtle shift in the air should alert them no to its presence and to that regard he would normally test a low yield variant of the whirlwind on his students and they were supposed to dodge before the strike came but with toru's uniqueness it offered a different opportunity instead of his normal method, he asked toru privately if it was ok and after she obliged, he asked his students to search for the invisible girl around the dojo and to attempt not to get hit in return if they were touched then they would be disqualified and have to do even more training later on.

The game was fun for toru as she went around the dojo tagging a number of unsuspecting victims. fred like the prodigy he was , was able to figure her out and managed to dodge out of the way of her attack and not surprisingly the same couldn't have been said for Jackie who she full on scared by yelling very loudly behind her making the girl jump, causing toru to start laughing but in her playfulness she forgot how the exercise actually worked and Jackie was able to tag her following the sound of her laughter to the source before toru could respond. The rest of the class were mostly as hopeless out of the 24 only 6 were able to actively predict the invisible threat the girl had although toru silently added that it should have been 5 to bomb which made Jackie stay late again much to the dark skinned girls detriment but toru stayed back with her just like they normally did but unlink before they just had more than half the class with them this time.

The full truth revealed: Zombieman, Tokoyami

Tokoyami and zombieman were once again in their late stages of training just like previously zombieman wouldn't tell him if any progress was made the other day until after training, currently him and zombieman were undergoing more of his and dark shadows compatibility training while the two fought together for a while now consistently zombieman felt that the shadow creature was a little to dependent on tokoyami for instructions on what to do and that the shadow creature should be able to think for itself what it should being doing in a fight. Tokoyami warned of such practice being potentially dangerous for him and that dark shadow should mostly just be following his orders but zombieman rebuffed him stating in the case where he was rendered unconscious it would significantly reduce dark shadows capabilities and after a moment's of deliberation tokoyami reluctantly agreed but he wasn't that happy about it.

While he was still doing his physical exercises and training dark shadow was fully extended away from him and to add on to the independence they were around some shrubbery so tokoyami couldn't see what the two were doing or even hear what they were talking about. Dark shadow alternatively was battling zombieman, he's always wanted the opportunity to do things himself but now that he had it he doesn't know really what to do so instead he just was blocking the entire time.

well at least trying to zombieman would easily pry open his defenses and strike the shadow creature multiple times with his swords do to the nature of dark shadow against blades he would normally just let them pierce him unimpeded as he didn't feel it if anything it would hinder the opponent more than him as he could hold the blade in himself and break it by flexing the rest of his body but zombieman was smart in that regard he would only use the flat of his katana's to essentially bat him around the place and he had to be extra careful of not disturbing tokoyami with his movements to much or run the risk of being yanked back himself. Dark shadows attacks without tokoyami's guidance were extremely basic, usually revolving around simple claw swipes and grapples that were easily parried and evaded.

zombieman made pointers to stop attacking him so much like a human and accommodate more for how his body is structured. Dark shadow racked his head for things zombieman was trying to hint at and he had to forcibly ignore the lingering thoughts of tokoyami trying to bury in to offer his thoughts as he wanted to do this by himself. He quickly went over a couple of things that they've been learning about before coming up with an idea of what he could do out of his body extended multiple tentacle-like extrusion that secretly tunneled there way into the ground as he charged zombieman again with his claws.

zombieman quickly parried the strike before swatting dark shadow away again with a kick to the face but was surprised when out of the ground multiple dark tentacles raised up and pierced straight through his leg, dark shadow didn't expect the usual state of pain he was simply smug that he was finally able to land an attack on the hero. As he looked at the tiny tentacles piercing his leg, zombieman simply let off a smile and clapped for the shadow creature's accomplishment before slicing the tentacles off separating them from the root and his leg quickly healed back right away. The two continued to practice for a moment before the time limit simply expired for how long tokoyami was able to keep him out, so far they have been able to extend that time to one hour but it would also have the opposite effect of wearing tokoyami down which was perfect time for a break zombieman said simply as he gestured for him to come sit on a overturned log with him.

"Did …something come of your training with dark shadow?" tokoyami said with a slight pant.

"At the tail end he figured something out, surprise you don't know about it?" zombieman questioned

"When out for extended periods of time dark shadow goes dormant for some time and he didn't tell me before doing so." tokoyami said

"Oh so only he can access your thoughts, not the other way around." zombieman suggested

"Indeed…..about the other day." tokoyami inquired

"Oh yeah that well, the orange color increased again but not as much as I was expecting it got it to about half way." zombieman replied

"I…see." Tokoyami said simply. As he looked down at his hands again.

"Same offer still stands if you want to back out." zombieman offered casually if his hunch was correct whatever the next secret was would likely be a big one. Tokoyami thought for several minutes before shaking his head.

"No … this last one is the one I'm …most shameful about but I guess to you it really wouldn't matter much but to my friends …I liken it to a betrayal of sorts." Tokoyami replied hesitantly, dark shadow wasn't with him for this one and it made him feel even more nervous than he was previously, his fur felt itchy and his nerves acted as if pins and needles fluttered down both his arms and the flames of Tartarus burned his feet but despite this he persisted to speak.

"Carry on from the other day my mutated look not only affected my love life but my entire social life as well." tokoyami said. Before breathing in and out for a moment to calm himself down.

"People would make fun of me, mock me, or were plain scared of me, this fear not only of me but other mutant quirks like mine soon would lead into anger and for some outright hatred. Some groups were formed in our society who despised mutant quirk holders, barring us from certain things or hanging around people they knew." Tokoyami replied coldly.

"I can rel-"

"Don't!...don't say those putrid words. Everyone believes that they can "relate" in some way or another but they are just being ignorant of the suffering especially he-" tokoyami cut zombieman off before he could continued but stopped himself a he heard the sound of a bullet rack into a chamber he looked over to zombieman and was shocked when he saw the hero weapon aimed directly at his head and before he could say anything else he had pulled the trigger.

scattering his head to the wind, tokoyami nearly puked at the carnage and was too shocked to even speak or move he had first thought there had been a monster somewhere that forced zombieman to do that but he couldn't see anything and he wasn't being attacked so he just turn to look at the corpse of the hero just lying there even the nomu back in their world with their regeneration had to protect their head to save themselves so assuming something similar zombieman just took his own li-...tokoyami was more shocked as zombieman's body started move again and quickly rose back up to the log, tokoyami was still too shocked to speak and the currently topples head began to actually speak to him, he could see the skeleton and brain all begin to shift and move as the parts recuperated at a staggering rate but that didn't stop him from talking when he was able to as his jaw and mouth healed first.

"As I was saying I can relate, I don't even know what I am, I don't remember my childhood or even if I had one or if I simply was born like this the house of evolution project number 66 that was my name. When I first started the hero gig, that was the same reaction people gave me, believing me to be a pet monster, not human, something else entirely people called for my death, hated me, sent death threats, some even tried to kill me of course they couldn't but I still let them get their anger out. So I do understand you and completely relate." zombieman talked as his head still continued to regenerate tokoyami was barely listing to the speech as he simply marveled at zombieman head coming back together hair and all just as new, the only remaining thing that lingered of any injury at all was the blood on his collar and the ground behind him.

"I'm…sorry…I shouldn't have been so presumptuous." tokoyami said finally calming down from his shock and stupor.

"Now what does that have to do with your friends and things like betrayal?" zombieman questioned cracking his neck, tokoyami was instantly back in the moment and balled his fist.

"Back in our world…there is a large villainous group that we called the league of villains, one of them was a mutant type like me, his name was spinner before he was sent here he had raised support from a number of mutant quirk uses who felt ostracized by society and…..and part of me…agreed with him, me a hero agreeing with the motives of a villain. It just feels wrong and like I'm betraying everyone I stand besides" tokoyami said while grabbing at his cloak.

"Why? Do you agree with his methods of getting there as well?" zombieman asked

"Of course not, they want to destroy society in its entirety and essentially replace it with nothing but chaos." tokoyami said, snapping his head back in zombieman's direction.

"Then what are you concerned about? The difference between a hero and a villain is not as large as people like to believe, the villain often sees themself as the hero of their own story but they just go about achieving their goals the wrong way, if you both agree with the problem you should try and help him come up with a better method to solving it, I'm sure your friends would understand that. " zombieman said casually as he lit a cigarette and puffed it, tokoyami looked at the man for a moment before thinking about it in that way and maybe he was right, if he could talk to spinner they could maybe use his influence to change the hearts of not only mutant quirk holders but other people as well.

"Right, thank you for the advice." tokoyami said simply

"How about we go get a bite to eat for the day huh?" zombieman asked

"Sure I would like that ." Tokoyami agreed.

Deliberations: Class 1A

The class started to filter back into their home. Everyone was conversing amongst each other about their day. Aoyama was the first to lead the discussion about what was happening between the police and hero association and the part they will likely have to play in the internal politics between the two entities. Most of the class showing indifference to the deal made others already felt bad about how things were going for the police and wanted to help them out anyways in some shape or form which Aoyama smiled brightly about.

The next person to bring up a topic to the group was sero who still had an Ice pack on for the back of his neck.

"What happened sero? Did you fall the wrong way swinging around?" kaminari joked, earning a few chuckles from mineta and kirishima.

"Haha. nah man I….I ran into Garou today." Sero said and the jovial mood immediately halted and every stopped and stared at him in shock.

"Didn't we tell you to stay away from him!" Iida immediately reprimanded him.

"I tried , I tried…but you know the other being, saren it's name by the way, inside me had other plans and one thing led to another." sero defended

"Wait, did it get him?" momo asked

"Nah , he dropped me so fast and just left afterwards." Sero replied with a chuckle.

"I have heard that a number of heroes have been hurt recently and if he's the one hunting heroes that seems rather peculiar that he let you off so easily." tokoyami remarked

"That's what I wanted to talk about, Garou was gone by the time that I woke up but he left me a message apparently when I woke up with another hero I was with at the time. It was for all of us, he said that he hasn't "made up his mind" about us yet and wouldn't "hunt" us for now but if we challenge him than all bets are off." sero said rectiting what he was told, this brought a mixed reaction from people in the room while most were relieved of the fact, it still didn't completely exclude them as prey, and in the case that they are physically there when he is conducting his hunts does he expect them to just sit there and let him do whatever he wanted while he attacked their comrades? That question could really only be answered by them in that moment they guessed.

"Holed on you were with someone else and he didn't attack them either why?" Kirishima asked, breaking the silence.

"He said that he already hit his "hero quota" for the day so he let him go, I wasn't with the disciples like I normally am but another C-class hero called monster ropper shell at the time. he said he wanted to reach hundred heroes hunted in two months time." sero replied.

"Well thank you for letting us know, be that as it may we should all still be vigilant. We don't know when he will make that choice about us and that means he's still unpredictable and dangerous and we should still avoid contact if possible at least without help." Iida told to the class and everyone nodded in agreement, after that the group discuss a little more, midoriya talked to tokoyami about the kid from the letters and how the association made some concessions about training him if possible he will be in the same group as todoroki and koda's group project.

Iida had brought momo down for a private conversation in the meanwhile as everyone else went their separate ways for the night.

"What is it Iida? " momo asked

"I wanted to talk to you about going back home…. That being before I was freed it said something cryptic to me about Eri, it said that ….that she wouldn't have her power anymore so I should give up hope on her healing my brother." Iida remarked grimly, and momo silently gasped in surprise.

"So that means that the horn midoriya saw on all might really could be…"momo said trailing off, Iida nodded his head.

"Yes, that horn that he saw on all might likely came from her which meant she had an interaction with all for one or even worse maybe even shigaraki and with chisaki himself being involved as well likely cements that fact." Iida said his voice was horse and cold .

"Oh ….no. that sounds awful, she already suffered enough for that man and now she may be suffering even more." Momo said, completely distraught, holding her head down.

"I know…but it's still just a theory technically just like all our thoughts about back home so it could be just me overthinking but….the reason why I called you here to talk about this is ..should I, we tell the others about this? While it's a guess …..I don't want people to get their hopes up about things that are happening back home…especially midoriya. uraraka and asui told me how much he struggled to free her and to find out that something like this could have happened to her…I don't know what I should do." Iida said . momo just stood and thought about it for a couple of minutes, while it was an educated guess he was indeed possible and that meant there was a possibility of it being true and if it were then their class has a right to know but they already are under enough stress as is about the meeting the other day. She let out a long breath before she looked up at Iida.

"I think we should tell them but we should give them some more time to come to terms with the all might thing first." Momo said confidently.

"Ok then that's what we shall do, thank you for taking time to listen to me." Iida replied

"No problem." Momo replied simply.


Bakugo was walking through the halls of the association and arrived at his training area, there again was silver chain waiting in her meditative position. Bakugo stepped into the room and continued to walk towards the women but before he got too close she spoke to him.

"The elders have finally got back to me and have some questions they wish me to ask you." silver chain said, still not opening her eyes to see him.

"You know if I was someone else right now, you would just sound dumb you know?" bakugo mocked trying to hide his unease with his usual snide comment.

"Unlikely I ve spent enough time with you to know the sounds of your walking pattern. It is unique to each individual usually." silver chain said simply as she still did not open her eyes to meet him.

"Hmph, Is that right? Well go ahead and ask your questions so we can begin.`` Bakugo said gruffly as he sat down a couple of feet across from her.

"Before we begin I should warn you that you should tell the truth as it will inevitably be revealed regardless." silver chain said simply.

"Yeah, yeah I get it." bakugo replied rudely

"Very well let us begin." silver chain said simply as she opened her eyes to look at him for the first time. He was always slightly taken back by the strange color but this time it looked even weirder(cooler) to him how he could have sworn they started to slightly glow.

"Your true origins of yourself and your powers and abilities?" silver chain asked first.

"The powers are natural, you could say that were aliens not related to the people that invaded the planet either." bakugo replied immediately, she offered no acceptance and just continued on to the next question.

"Can your power be replicated either biologically or scientifically?" silver can asked

"Yes to both, although there are no guarantees in either scenario. And I can probably guess the next question: sure have a blood sample" bakugo replied simply.

" Thank you for your cooperation but I assume the other sample is off limits correct?" silver chain questioned, and bakugo took a moment to ponder what she was getting at before realizing and a large red flush made its way onto his face as he inadvertently went to cover over his crotch.

"You're damn right that the other one is canceled. the hell type of organization you're running here." he yelled, he suddenly felt a prick on one of his arms seeing the gray liquid metal holding a syringe.

"The elder wants to be extremely thorough in their research upon you individuals, especially the more powerful ones, but the blood will be enough for them." silver chain remarked.

"Is that all of the questions for today?" bakugo asked, annoyed.

"Just one more, since you are not of this world how did you arrive here?" silver chain asked simply, this one would have normally tripped bakugo up but he prepared for this.

"It's a Penitent. we were dropped off here, we don't know when time will be up until they come and get us but someday we will be gone again." bakugo remarked

"Interesting, what was the crime committed?" silver chain asked.

"Failure." bakugo said in a downcasted expression.

'I see." silver chain said simply before storing the blood in a valve and carrying on.

The two continued to train until suddenly silver chain clones brought in two of his friends again. It was tails and the invisible girl both of them were rendered unconscious just like he was.

"Why again do you not want your friends not to know about our meetings?" silver chain asked

"Cause they're going to be annoying about it, Like they are now " bakugo said simply as he looked the two karate idiots over.

" they likely already suspect something is going on regardless. seems trivial to continue the charade." silver chain said simply

"And whose fault is that huh? Who said to drop me off right by these idiots in the first place?" bakugo yelled back.

"I didn't know where you resided but knew they were your friends so it was only the likeness of places to ensure that you were safe." silver chain replied in her monotone voice. Bakugo bit back a rebuttal as he turned to look at the unconscious idiots, when he saw the sudden shift of movement he instantly used his stun grenade to completely knock them out again.

"What the hell? Don't tell me you're getting sloppy." bakugo said in an annoyed expression

"Unlikely, they likely prepared beforehand, given that I usually knock them out the same way each time." she replied simply. Bakugo merely sucked his teeth before the two continued on with their training unlike before where she would train bakugo to his breaking point she elected to stop the training early, so that his body could recuperate, he was already performing somewhat more sluggish than he should be she noted.

She offered to carry the two unconscious teens back with him and he agreed, more like he was going to just leave them there in the first place so she used her clones to carry them along with him on their walk home. There he met half an half who seemed to be surprised by who was unconscious this time as he opened the door and bakugo just barged right past him. Along with the liquid gray metal but unlike going upstairs it simply deposited the two on the couch. Todoroki again said his thanks as he doubt bakugo would and was surprised when he got a confirmation back as the gray liquid simply vanished into the night again, as everyone went to sleep.
