Boku no Hero Academia: Izuku's Pet Noumu

Disclaimer: This is a mature-rated fanfiction story of Boku no Hero Academia that I am writing for both fluffy and erotic fun. Needless to say, this story is AU, the characters may seem OOC to some and there will be smutty lemons. Also, I own nothing of the series other than the fanfiction stories that I make.

Chapter 13: Daily Life With Noumu-Girls Part 1

Soon after Nedzu gave the announcement about the three new noumu schoolmates and the five new assistant teachers, the students of Class 1A were seated in an empty hall which had been converted into a classroom. Due to the increased number of students, the seating arrangement had to be changed, again, and there was one empty seat between Wankuro and Izuku which was noticeably lower than the rest.

Shouta, who looked even more aggravated than before, entered the hall before he glared at the students and spoke to them, "As you all should know by now, your class has three more noumus who were former assets of the League of Villains. Unfortunately, your class also has two new additions." He then stepped aside and beckoned, "Shinsou, Eri, Midoriya-san, please come in."

Izuku's eyes widened in surprise as he watched Hitoshi, Eri and Inko enter the classroom. Unable to help himself, he raised his hand and asked Shouta, "Excuse me, why are Eri-chan and my mum here?"

"You're not going to ask about Shinsou?" asked Shouta.

"Well, I kind of figured that he's been transferred to the hero course," replied Izuku.

"Fair enough," conceded Shouta who then his attention to the rest of the class and explained, "In case any of you are unaware, Eri was rescued during Midoriya and Wankuro's first day of internship. Due to various circumstances, which NONE of you are allowed to force her into explaining, she will be receiving her education as an unofficial member of Class 1A. As for Midoriya-san, she will be a assisting me and the other teachers in educating not only Eri but also the four noumus." His eyes narrowed as he added, "I trust that none of you have any issues with the arrangement?"

Tenya raised his hand and asked, "Would it not be more logical to have Shinsou-kun transferred to Class 1B instead of this class?"

Shouta sighed and wearily explained, "I raised that point to Nedzu earlier today but he insisted on having Shinsou transferred to this class as he is, and I'm quoting here, 'your very own protege who might as well as be your secret love child'."

While everyone else seemed confused, Wankuro nodded and said, "You two, smell like cats."

Everyone, other than Izuku and Eri, turned their attention towards Wankuro and Momo asked, "Are you implying that they both like cats?"

Wankuro nodded and added, "Both use sleeping bags. Use same weapon too."

A moment of silence, other than strangely audible blinking, passed before everyone turned their attention to Hitoshi and Shouta. Denki rubbed his chin and said, "You know, those two do look like they may be related. Kind of like how Kirishima and Tetsutetsu look like brothers or cousins."

Shouto nodded and said, "They even have the same tired look in their eyes."

Annoyed by his students, Shouta activated his quirk and growled, "Are there any other pointless questions or comments you lot wish to make?" As the students knew better than to say anything, they kept quiet while Shouta sighed and said, "At any rate, please introduce yourselves."

Hitoshi stepped forward first and said, "My name is Shinsou Hitoshi. As Wankuro has already pointed out, I like cats. I also enjoy cycling. I plan to be an underground hero and use my brainwashing quirk for good."

Eri, who was next, timidly stepped forward together with Inko and said, "M-my name is Midoriya Eri. I like apples. I don't like being hurt." Aware of the fact that Eri was rescued from the yakuza, Izuku's classmates knew better than to ask for details. Even the three new noumu classmates could tell that Eri had been through much suffering.

Inko smiled kindly as she gently petted Eri's head before she turned her attention to the students and said, "I'm sure that you all already know me by now so I won't spend time introducing myself. Please don't mind me as I will be focusing on teaching Eri-chan and the four noumu-girls."

"Noumu-girls?" asked Izuku.

"Well, they're all girls after all," replied Inko as though it explained everything.

Minoru rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, "Midoriya-san does have a point. You can even say that the noumu-girls are kind of like monster-girls from the pre-quirk era."

Denki, who understood what Minoru was saying, said, "Oh, you mean all those fictional monsters that got turned into cute and/or sexy monster girls!"

Minoru nodded and said, "If we're going to compare the four noumu-girls to monster girls, Wankuro-chan's basically a werewolf or even a hell-hound, Toga-chan's a vampire for sure, Ushimaru-chan's a minotaur and Bunraku-chan's a living puppet or living doll."

Wankuro, Himiko, Nyujou and Ningyou frowned as they were reminded of their previous lives as unwilling weapons of the League of Villains. Noticing their distress and aware of their "noumu code-names", Izuku said, "Mineta, please stop talking about monster-girls. The league of Villains used the names of monsters as monikers."

Realising that he had unintentionally brought up a bad topic, Minoru quickly apologised, "Sorry, everyone."

Wankuro smiled in understanding and said, "That's okay. We never told you."

Ningyou nodded and added, "You apology is accepted, Mineta-san." Both Himiko and Nyujou nodded as well.

Shouta cleared his throat and said, "We have already wasted enough time as it is." He then turned his attention to Hitoshi and Eri and said, "Please get to your seats, you two. Eri, your seat and desk have been adjusted for your height."

Once Shinsou and Eri were seated, class proceeded as normal, more or less…

--Some time later…--

It was heroics class and the students of Class 1A were standing outside of Ground Gamma which as a training ground that resembled an industrial complex. Their teacher was Toshinori who was currently in his All Might form. Being too young to take part in the lesson, Eri was content to watch the class session take place while holding onto Inko's hand.

Toshinori smiled as he welcomed the students, "I am here to greet both returning and new students! I hope that you are all in high spirits!"

Wankuro nodded with an eager smile while Himiko, Nyujou and Ningyou nodded with hopeful expressions on their faces. Izuku wore a happy smile while Kyouka, Minoru, Shouto, Tenya and Eijirou wore determined expressions as they wanted to improve themselves further as heroes.

Pleased by their response, Toshinori's smile became more genuine as he explained, "Given the fact that many of you have returned from your internships, this lesson will have an element of play. In other words, it will be a rescue-training race!" He then explained that the students would be divided into groups of five and attempt to reach to him first after he had activated a distress beacon in the centre of the training ground. Before Toshinori started the lesson, he made sure to remind everyone to keep the collateral damage to a minimum while pointing at Katsuki and the four noumu-girls. The four noumu-girls blushed in embarrassment as they had considered just tearing their way through the training ground while Katsuki growled in displeasure at the reminder of how he had tried to defeat Izuku during their first heroics class by creating a powerful explosion that tore a large hole in a building.

The first group comprised of Izuku and the four noumu-girls. Toshinori was looking forward to seeing what would happen next as he told them, "Everyone, take your positions!"

While Izuku, Toshinori and the four noumu-girls went into position, Ochako turned her attention to Tsuyu and asked, "So, who do you think will win this race, Tsuyu-chan?"

Tsuyu placed her finger onto her lips and thought, "It's hard to say. Both Wan-chan and Izu-chan are fast but, even with Izu-chan's explanation about their quirks, we still don't fully know what the other three noumu-girls are capable of. Also, this place is like a maze so you probably need to be able to get onto the high ground to move quickly."

Eijirou said, "Ushimaru's probably not going to get first place. She's more of a solid brawler than a speedster."

"That and she isn't allowed to 'clear' a path to reach All Might," said Shouto.

Tenya nodded and said, "Even so, she might be able to get to high ground and travel more quickly by leaping from place to place so there's no guarantee that she will be in last place." He then turned his attention to Kyouka and Minoru and asked then, "Do you two have any opinions about Bunraku-kun?"

Minoru shrugged and said, "She can probably use her strings to get around much like how Sero uses his tape. I highly doubt she's allowed to use her strings to take control of anyone."

"Was that how she took control of those people during the attack a few days ago?" asked Hitoshi. Unlike the rest of Class 1A, he was not informed about Himiko, Nyujou or Ningyou's quirks as he had only been transferred to their class recently. On a side note, he would be moving into their dorm before the week was over.

Minoru nodded and explained, "She can take control of other people by sticking the ends of her strings onto the backs of their necks." His expression become sombre as he added, "I know that you have a brainwashing quirk yourself but she's probably still a bit sensitive about her ability to take control of other people so you might want to wait for a few days at least if you want talk to her about it."

Hitoshi who already knew what it was like to be judged for having a "villainous" quirk, nodded in understanding while Kyouka explained to the rest of the class, "She can also rotate her body and limbs to an insane degree but I doubt that'll help in winning a race."

"The only one who has seen Toga-san's abilities first-hand would be Midoriya-san," said Momo.

"And Midori-chan too if you think about it," said Denki. The rest of Class 1A knew that Denki was referring to Wankuro's previous relationship with the other three noumu-girls.

"Which makes Toga a bit of a wild card to us in this race," said Hanta as he wore a thoughtful expression on his face.

"A dark horse with unknown talents," said Fumikage.

"One who might just steal the dazzling spotlight," said Yuuga.

Suddenly, Toshinori's distress beacon was activated which indicated the start of the race. Izuku, Wankuro, Himiko, Nyujou and Ningyou immediately dashed towards the centre of the training ground where Toshinori was located.

Himiko, who could transform her arms into wings, immediately took flight. Thankfully for her, her custom-made P.E. uniform was designed to allow her arms to transform into wings without damaging the uniform. The other two noumu girls were also dressed in P.E. uniforms due to the lack of any actual hero suits.

Eri's eyes shone as she pointed at the screen, "Toga-san's flying!"

Inko smiled at Eri's excitement and said, "Yes, she is."

As the rest of Class 1A watched Himiko fly, Tooru said, "Wow, she's going to get first place for sure at this rate!"

"It's kind of hard to beat speedy flight in this type of terrain," said Mashirao.

"Deku and Wan-chan are not necessarily out for the count yet though," said Ochako who saw Izuku using both One For All and his floating ability to reach the centre of the training ground as quickly as he could. As for Wankuro, she quickly leapt from one place to another while crimson flames trailed behind her from around her eyes.

"Looks like Mineta's assumption about Bunraku using her strings to move around like Sero is spot on," said Rikidou who noted how Ningyou was using her strings to swing from place to place.

Mina grimaced as she noticed how Ningyou was rotating her arms to an unnatural degree to generate momentum as she swung from place to place. She also noted how Ningyou rotated her waist and head to unnatural positions so that she could maintain her balance and vision so she had to ask, "Is it just me or does watching Bunraku rotate her body like that feel REALLY uncomfortable to watch?"

"You're not the only one," said Mezou while many other students from Class 1A, including the normally-quiet Kouji, nodded in agreement with him.

"Ah, Ushimaru has leapt onto a building," noted Shouto.

"She's going to be in last place as this rate, isn't she?" asked Rikidou who was making a statement rather than asking a question.

Tenya noted how Nyujou was unable to catch up with the others as she awkwardly leapt from rooftop to rooftop and said, "At this rate, certainly."

While the rest of Class 1A continued to watch the race on the television screens, Katsuki glared at Izuku and realised that he had gotten even faster and more skilful in using his new floating ability. He gritted his teeth as he thought, "While I was wasting my time uselessly at my internship, he's gotten even stronger…!"

Before long, the race ended with Himiko as the winner followed by Wankuro, Izuku, Ningyou and, in last place, Nyujou. Toshinori was pleased with Izuku's progress as he could tell that Izuku was able to safely use 10% of One For All without hurting himself and 25% of One For All for singular strikes. He could also tell that Izuku was using his floating ability in a way which reminded him of Sorahiko and Nana.

--Later that day…--

It was lunchtime and Class 1A, together with Inko and Eri, were heading to the cafeteria to have lunch together when they met Class 1B. Tetsutetsu grinned upon seeing Class 1A, especially Eijirou and Izuku, and said, "Yo, Kirishima! Midoriya! You're all here to have lunch to?"

Eijirou grinned in return and said, "Pretty much! You guys want to eat with us?"

Neito sneered at Class 1A and said, "Why should we eat with you lo-"

Wankuro growled threateningly at Neito. Neito yelped in fright as he quickly hid behind Itsuka who sighed at his antics and said, "Will you please stop antagonising them?"

"Seriously, you should tone down on the whole rivalry thing," said Juuzou who then added, "I mean, I get that we should try our best to prove ourselves to be at least as good as they are but the reason why they're getting so much attention now is because they're getting involved in more insane situations than even most of our seniors." He then turned his attention towards Izuku and said, "Especially you and Wankuro, Midoriya."

Izuku blushed as he replied, "In my defence, I never asked for these events to happen."

"Speaking of insane situations…" said Setsuna who grinned at Izuku as she asked, "Is it really true that you want to cuddle with the girls whom you like while naked and have plenty of lovemaking with them?"

Reminded of his embarrassing confession, Izuku blushed until his face was as red as a tomato and hid his face behind his hands as he crouched low and groaned, "Please don't remind me of my confession!"

Setsuna laughed good-naturedly while Ibara sighed and said, "Tokage-san, please don't tease Midoriya-san any further. As heroic as he is, he's ultimately human like the rest of us." She then turned her attention to Izuku and said, "If you want, I can offer you some sermons to help you clear your mind of such impure thoughts and desires."

Izuku was about to respond when Reiko stepped forward to stand before Ningyou. The ghost-like girl stared at the doll-like noumu-girl for what seemed to be hours until they suddenly held hands with unmistakably warm expressions of mutual understanding on their faces. Everyone else stared at the two in confusion before Wankuro tilted her head and asked curiously, "Ningyou-chan found new friend?"

Ningyou nodded at Wankuro and explained, "I have found a ghostly person to call my sister in all but blood."

Reiko then added, "We are both associated with the mysterious and unnerving realm of the paranormal."

Nearly everyone else blinked while Fumikage nodded in understanding and said, "I see, they are both associated with the dark realm of the unnatural and thus see each other as kin because of it."

Shihai nodded and said, "It makes sense that fellow revellers of the same realms of darkness get along with one another."

Tooru turned her attention to Mina and whispered, "Is it just me or are those four going to form some kind of paranormal investigation club at this rate?"

Mina whispered back, "Knowing Tokoyami-kun, they probably would."

Pony looked up to Nyujou with wide eyes as she spoke, "Wow, you're big!"

Nyujou looked down at Pony and tilted her head as she asked, "You're not scared?"

Pony shook her head and explained, "My cousin, Macintosh Apple, is big too. He's also a real soft."

"It's 'softy', not 'soft'," corrected Itsuka.

"Wait, you're related to the Stallion Hero: Big Macintosh?" asked Izuku whose eyes were wide in surprise.

Pony nodded and explained, "My mum's Caramel Apple. She got married to my dad, Tsunotori Hitsuji, and changed her family name before coming here."

"Huh, no wonder you have equine features," said Izuku as he knew that the Apple family from America generally had equine features.

Juurouta cleared his throat to get everyone's attention and said, "I don't mean to interrupt but we'll be missing lunch at this rate if we don't hurry up."

Suddenly remembering their limited lunch break period, everyone rushed to the cafeteria together. Wankuro and Nyujou were especially determined not to miss lunch.

--Later that evening…--

It was time for physical training and, unlike previous lessons, both Class 1A and Class 1B were having their training together.

The students from Class 1B were shocked at how dedicated their counterparts from Class 1A were in physical training and learning basic fighting skills such as boxing and judo. They were even more shocked to see Minoru, who was supposed to be a slacker and a cowardly pervert, push his upper limits while training. In fact, he was actually sparring with Nyujou although it mostly involved him avoiding her powerful punches while she held back. Granted, he looked absolutely terrified but the fact that he was actually determined in spite of his fear was surprisingly commendable.

Speaking of sparring with the noumu-girls, Izuku was having what was basically an air-borne game of tag with Himiko. He was using both his floating ability and bursts of One For All at 25% to move around and avoid Himiko who could fly freely with her bat-like wings. Eijirou was sparring with Wankuro as usual with his skin constantly breaking and re-hardening to keep up with her powerful fiery blows while Ningyou was using her strings to restrain Mina who had to maintain a constant layer of acid to melt the strings away.

Kousei turned his attention to Denki asked him about Minoru, "Dude, what has happened to him? He's taking his training super-serious now!"

Denki scratched the back of his head as he explained what had happened during Minoru's internship…

--Flashback to a few days ago…--

After Ningyou had been successfully restrained, Shinji used his quirk to bring Minoru down to ground level so that he could free the restrained victims who were still stuck together due to his sticky purple balls. Thankfully, with the new support gear, Minoru was able to free them quickly before he turned his attention to Ningyou who had calmed down after crying.

Ningyou, who looked lost and forlorn, noticed Minori's head and asked, "Are you the one who threw those balls at me?"

Although still scared of the doll-like noumu, Minoru knew that she was no longer dangerous so he replied, "Yeah, that's me."

"Thank you for stopping me," replied Ningyou who was wearing a small grateful smile.

Surprised by Ningyou's words, as it was the first time any girl had ever thanked him other than his mother, Minoru blushed and replied, "N-no problem. That's what heroes do."

Although Minoru knew that he was a shameless pervert with a libido to match, he also knew that he would not have been popular with the opposite sex even if he wasn't a pervert. After all, most girls were very particular about a boy's looks and, in current society, quirks so a short boy with a "lame-ass" quirk like Minoru himself would have little to no chance of a girl actually liking him regardless. Only by being super-rich or being a pro-hero could he somehow gain some level of acceptance from the opposite sex even if he was a short pervert with a seemingly useless quirk. However, after getting to know Izuku, he slowly came to realise that heroes were not "cool" because they were heroes but rather heroes were heroes because they were already "cool". Ningyou's grateful smile only cemented Minoru's realisation.

It was at that moment when all of the noumu-girls got poisoned at the same time…

--End of flashback…--

"And that's why he's so focused on improving himself now," said Denki.

"That's… pretty damn manly actually," said Tetsutetsu.

"It seems that God has graciously shown him the way to the righteous path," said Ibara.

"So, does that mean that he won't try to peek up skirts and stuff like that any more, shroom?" was Kinoko who sounded rather hopeful.

Denki shrugged and said, "Honestly, I'm not sure. On one hand, he's definitely changed. On the other hand, he's still a pervert who likes girls, a lot."

Although Minoru was willing to tone down his perversions for the noumu-girls', especially Ningyou's, and Eri's sakes, what he did in the privacy of his own room or when he's with fellow perverts like Denki was nobody's business other than his own. Besides, even Izuku had sexual desires like any other teenage boy.

"Well, progress is progress even in small steps," said Juurouta while the rest of his classmates nodded in agreement with him.

It was at that moment that Minoru got kicked off the ring by Nyujou, literally. Luckily for him, the kick only bruised his ribs but he still needed to rest in Recovery Girl's infirmary for a few hours at least.

--The following day…--

Wankuro, Himiko, Nyujou and Ningyou were assigned to help train Class 1B at a forested region called Ground Omega while Jin, Shin, Setsuno, Houjou and Soramitsu were assigned to help train Class 1A at Ground Beta which resembled an urban area. It should be noted that Eri and Inko stayed away from the five men as the little girl recognised four of them as former members of the Shie Hassaikai. Understandably, no one blamed Eri for being apprehensive around the four men.

Shouta sighed as he explained the lesson to Class 1A, "The five assistant teachers will take on the roles of villains who have stolen four bags of money from a bank and are on their way to a hidden escape vehicle. You will be divided into teams of five to intercept them. While capturing all of them is optimal, taking back at least three bags of money will be considered as a pass. Should at least two of them escape with at least two bags of money, the hero team will not pass the match. Any questions?"

As no one asked anything, Shouta turned his attention towards the five men and nodded. Taking their cue, they greeted the students.

"A pleasure to meet you all," said Jin who was wearing a grey and black suit that resembled the costume of a certain fictional anti-hero known as Deadpool. He then yelled, "Screw you, guys!"

Shin, who was dressed in a simple black suit with a white shirt and a grey neck-tie, adjusted his spectacles and said, "I sincerely hope that we'll be able to actually trust one another."

"What's up?" asked Setsuno who decided to wear his usual yakuza clothes without the beak-like mask.

Houjou, whose outfit had remained unchanged, simply grunted while Soramitsu, who was in a chef's outfit for some reason, said, "I'm hungry!"

Izuku raised his hand and asked, "Are they allowed to use their quirks non-lethally, Aizawa-sensei?"

Shouta nodded and said, "As long as no one uses his or her quirk to maim anyone or worse, it's pretty much a free for all." He then turned his attention to Katsuki and added, "That said, NO excessive collateral damage, including the fake money!"

Katsuki clicked his tongue in displeasure while Izuku asked again, "Are they going to be pigeon-holed into being villains in the exercises?"

Shouta was secretly pleased with Izuku's genuine concern for the five men as he replied, "No, they will not. While there are no plans for them to play the role of heroes, yet, due to their past statuses as villains, they will be playing other roles in future training sessions such as civilians or victims of villain attacks."

Izuku bowed and said, "I understand. Thank you."

Momo raised her hand and said, "Aizawa-sensei, you said that we'll be divided into teams of five. Doesn't that mean that one of us will be left out?"

"That is certainly true, but I have a reason for that," said Shouta as he turned his attention towards Izuku and wore a smug smirk which made the boy realise what was about to happen next, "Midoriya, you're going to be their 'sixth ranger'."

Izuku sighed as he asked, "I'm not going to live down the fact that I've worked together with them to stop Toga-san any time soon, am I?"

"Nope," said Shouta who then told the other students to take their respective lots from a box to decide which team they would be in. The resulting teams were as follows:

Team A: Katsuki, Eijirou, Hanta, Mina and Denki

Team B: Ochako, Tenya, Yuuga, Tooru and Fumikage

Team C: Mashirao, Kouji, Rikidou, Mezou and Hitoshi

Team D: Momo, Kyouka, Shouto, Tsuyu and Minoru

Katsuki smirked viciously as he was looking forward to crushing Izuku and the so-called assistant teachers…

--Meanwhile, at Ground Omega…--

"All right, you kids. You will be divided into teams of five to take on each noumu-girl," said Sekijirou.

Not even Neito disagreed with the idea of having five students taking on a single noumu-girl. Even Ningyou, who lacked the superhuman strength of the other three noumu-girls, was dangerous due to her ability to take control of other people. Also, Ningyou had ten fingers which meant that she could control up to ten people at the same time.

Much like Class 1A, the students drew lots from a box to decide which team they would be in. The resulting teams were as follows:

Team A: Neito, Tetsutetsu, Itsuka, Nirengeki and Pony -Versus- Nyujou

Team B: Setsuna, Juuzou, Kojirou, Ibara and Manga -Versus- Himiko

Team C: Yousetsu, Kamakiri, Sen, Kinoko and Reiko -Versus- Ningyou

Team D: Juurouta, Kousei, Hiryuu, Shihai and Yui -Versus- Wankuro

Neito smirked as he knew two quirks which would allow him to have a chance of defeating Nyujou…

--Back to Izuku and his team of "robbers"…--

Izuku, along with the five assistant teachers, were all squatting down together like a gang of low-ranking villains as he discussed with them, "First things first, do you five know about my classmates' quirks?" All five men nodded in response so Izuku went on to ask, "I know that you are all allowed to use your quirks freely but are there any specific limitations that I should know about?"

Shin nodded and explained, "I'm only allowed to ask specific questions such as the most embarrassing thing they have ever done as young children."

Jin explained, "I can't create copies of the teachers or the noumus. They're too weak!"

Setsuno pointed his thumb at Soramitsu and said, "Houjou and I don't have any specific limitations but Tabe here is not allowed to eat anyone, obviously. He's also not allowed to eat live animals."

Izuku grimaced as he spoke his thoughts aloud, "Yeah, I can imagine Kouda-kun getting traumatised by seeing Tabe-san eat his animal companions."

"So, what's the plan?" asked Shin who then added, "Considering that we're facing your classmates, you should know a number of things that we don't."

Izuku nodded before he turned his attention to Jin and asked, "Bubaigawara-san, what exactly can you duplicate?"

--In a separate section of Ground Beta…--

Katsuki glared at his team mates and growled, "I'm going to crush that worthless Deku and those villains. Don't get in my fucking way."

Eijirou frowned and said, "Dude, we're supposed to work together as a team. Also, those guys helped Izu-aniki to stop Toga-san."

Katsuki huffed and said, "That's only because one of them has a quirk to steal stuff which happened to include that headgear Vamp-bitch used to wear."

Mina glared at Katsuki and asked, "So what would YOU have done if your were facing Himiko-chan?"

"I would have just blown that shit off her head," said Katsuki as though it was a satisfactory answer.

Mina was appalled while Denki asked, "And if 'blowing it off' triggers it to explode and kills her?"

"Then she just has shitty luck. It's not like she doesn't have a fucking body count already," replied Katsuki.

Hanta glared at Katsuki and said, "And the fact that she was abused by her own parents before she got turned into a noumu against her will?"

Annoyed by this team mates' judgemental glares, Katsuki yelled, "Why the fuck should I care?! Heroes are people who beat villains and never lose! Besides, have you four fuckers actually forgotten that she was a villain who had killed several people?!"

Eijirou shook his head and said, "No, but that does not change the fact that she never had a choice to become a murderous villain."

"Seriously, do you even know that heroes are supposed to protect and save people?" asked Mina.

"What good is protecting people if the villains win the fight in the end?!" yelled Katsuki.

"What good is beating a villain if innocents die because of YOUR choices?!" yelled Mina.

Mina's question caused Katsuki to pause as he recalled Tsunagu's questions during his internship about what constituted his definition of a worthless person. Unable to come up with a satisfactory answer, Katsuki yelled, "Fuck you ass-holes! I'm going after them and do things MY way and that's fucking final!"

Mina glared at Katsuki and sarcastically said, "Sure, go ahead without us. We'll make sure to pick up the slack after you're done with your dick-measuring contest."

Angered, Katsuki was about to yell at Mina again when Eijirou, Hanta and Denki stood between him and her. As tempted as he was to put them in their place, he was unwilling to lower his chances of passing the match by fighting his own team mates. He therefore turned around with a displeased click of his tongue.

It was at that moment when the match began with Aizawa's announcement, "Villains have stolen money from a nearby bank. Please stop them from escaping!"

Not surprisingly, Katsuki immediately set off to find the Izuku and the five villains. His eyes widened as he realised that they were two extra copies of Izuku. What was more, all three "Izukus" were carrying four bags of money each.

Upon seeing the incoming human missile, one of the Izukus yelled, "Everyone, remember the plan!"

The five assistant teachers nodded as they all suddenly split up into three separate groups that went in different directions. Each group had one Izuku who was carrying the bags of money. One Izuku was escorted by Jin and Shin while another Izuku was escorted by Soramitsu and Setsuno. The third Izuku was escorted by Houjou and was running the fastest of the three Izukus. Katsuki smirked as he recognised the original Izuku and immediately flew towards him. Seeing the incoming attack, Houjou yelled, "Incoming!"

Izuku immediately threw the bags of money to Houjou. He then leapt into the air and activated his floating ability before flicking his fingers at Katsuki. The blond boy easily dodged the incoming shock-waves before continuing his explosive flight towards Izuku.

Suddenly, Izuku deactivated his floating ability and dropped downward. He then raised his hands upwards with his fingers ready for rapid-fire flicking. Katsuki was barely able to avoid taking damage by creating multiple explosions to nullify the shock-waves. He then noticed Houjou fleeing with the money. Cursing at his team mates for being uselessly absent, he immediately tried to fly towards Houjou. However, as soon as Izuku landed onto the ground, he leapt off with 25% of One For All and tackled Katsuki.

Now certain that at least half of the money was with Houjou, Katsuki tried to force Izuku to let go by hitting his face with an explosion. He smirked as the explosion hit Izuku's face and was confident that Izuku had been knocked out. However, his smug smirk fell like a ton of bricks as Izuku's wounds suddenly started healing with a green glow of energy while the green-haired boy started to weigh him down with his own body weight. In Katsuki's state of shock, he was unable to act as Izuku suddenly spun around and threw him onto the ground below. As Katsuki slammed onto the ground, he gasped with wide eyes and stared upwards to see Izuku floating over him. Enraged by the humiliation, Katsuki yelled furiously, "DEKU!!!"

--Meanwhile, with Mina and Eijirou…--

Katsuki was not the only one to notice that Izuku suddenly had two copies. Not interested in helping Katsuki, the four members of the team decided to split up in teams of two to chase after the other two Izukus who were being escorted by two assistant teachers each. Mina and Eijirou was currently chasing after the Izuku who was fleeing with Jin and Shin while Denki and Hanta went after the other group of three "robbers".

Eijirou frowned as he asked over his earpiece, which was deliberately set to ignore Katsuki's calls, "Quick question, if there are two more copies of Izu-aniki, what are the chances that the eight extra copies of the bags are just decoys?"

"Honestly, I'd be surprised if they weren't," replied Denki.

"What about the chances that the original Izu-aniki is tricking Bakugou into going after him while his copies have the real bags of money?" asked Eijirou.

A moment of silence passed before Mina asked, "So… is anyone going to bring that up to Bakugou?"

"Not it!" yelled Hanta and Denki in unison.

"Yeah, I figured as much," said Mina while she and Eijirou, who were equally unwilling to inform Katsuki, continued the pursuit.

--Back to Izuku and Katsuki…--

Katsuki and Izuku were currently racing against each other to reach Houjou first. While Izuku was trying to slow Katsuki down with shock-waves, tackles and kicks, Katsuki was trying to take down Izuku quickly with a lot of explosions. However, Izuku was able to keep avoiding the explosions which angered Katsuki even more. As soon as Katsuki saw Houjou make a turn, he gritted his teeth and yelled, "Fuck this!" He then turned his attention towards Izuku and pulled the pin of his grenade-shaped gauntlet while aiming it at the other boy. Izuku's eyes widened as Katsuki yelled, "Back the fuck off!"

Izuku was barely able to avoid the incoming attack by deactivating his floating ability. The resulting explosion not only knocked Izuku down but also propelled Katsuki to the point that he reached Houjou before he could enter a dark alley. Katsuki smirked at Houjou who quickly covered himself in protective crystalline armour and said, "Give me the money if you don't want to die, fucker!"

Houjou glared at Katsuki and growled, "Are you seriously even trying to be a hero?" Katsuki's eyebrow twitched in anger while Houjou yelled, "You want the money? Come and get them!" The man then dropped two bags of money while tossing the other two bags behind himself. Katsuki was about to charge forward to take down Houjou when he noticed a green blur grabbing the two thrown bags of money in mid-air before landing onto the ground and running off at top speed. Realising that Izuku had successfully taken the two bags of money, Katsuki assumed that the real bags or money were with Izuku. Why else would the worthless Deku fight so hard to keep the money away from him?

Katsuki was about to pursue Izuku when Shouta announced, "The match is over. The villains win."

Shocked, Katsuki said, "What…?"

--A few minutes ago…--

Hanta, who had just finished tying up Setsuno and Soramitsu together with his tape after Denki had electrocuted them, spoke to Mina and Eijirou, "It looks like we might be right. The Izuku with them was a clone and two of the bags disintegrated into slime and a whole lot of random stuff. The other two bags are the bags with the money."

It should be noted that the "money" were merely fake yen bills with Nedzu's face printed onto them.

After hearing Hanta's report, Mina said, "Then that means that the third group is… kya!"

Worried, Hanta yelled, "Ashido, what's wrong?!"

"It's Izu-aniki, or at least a clone of him. He's staying behind while the other two are making their escape!" explained Eijirou.

"Can you two take him down and catch up?" asked Hanta.

"Even if he's not the original one, he's still fast and strong enough to delay us!" yelled Ejirou who was obviously using his hardening quirk to defend himself from Izuku's attacks. He then added, "We might not be able to catch up with the other two at this rate!"

Hanta cursed under his breath before he explained, "Kaminari's brain is half-fried but he should be able to keep an eye on both the money and the the tried up villains. I'll try to catch up as fast as I can!"

"You better hurry, they're going to get away at this rate!" yelled Mina.

Hanta turned his attention to Denki and said, "Kaminari, I'm leaving them to you!"

Denki gave Hanta a dopey thumb's up and said, "Wheeey!"

Unfortunately for Hanta, he was not able to arrive fast enough to stop Shin and Jin from "getting away" with the "money"…

--A short while later…--

Both the "robbers" and Katsuki's group returned to the viewing room where Shouta asked, "So, who deserves to be the MVP of the match?"

Momo raised her hand and said, "It's honestly a bit difficult but the two most deserving people are undoubtedly Midoriya-san and Bubaigawara-san." She then explained, "While it is obvious that Midoriya-san has executed a good plan and has admirably played his role as bait to distract Bakugou-san, it goes without saying that his plan could not have worked without Bubaigawara-san's ability to make copies.

Shouta nodded and turned his attention to Izuku to ask, "What made you decide to double the number of bags?"

"Well, since Bubaigawara-san's clones have clothes of their own, it only makes sense that certain items are copied together with the copies that he makes," explained Izuku who then added, "When we couldn't copy the full bags, we settled for copying the empty bags instead before stuffing them with paper, clothes and whatever else we could get our hands on before the match began."

"Why did you decide to entrust each of your clones with two of the actual bags?" asked Shouta.

"If I'm being honest, it's because Bakugou's on the opposing team. He's someone who will immediately assume that at least two of the actual bags of money are with me if I'm doing everything I can to stop him from taking any of the bags back," said Izuku.

Shouta turned his attention towards the rest of the class and said, "Let this be a lesson to all of you. A strong villain is undoubtedly dangerous but few things are as terrifying as an intelligent villain who can anticipate your every move and has the necessary support. Also, in light of Midoriya's statements, I officially declare him the MVP of the match for his ability to not only think of a way to maximize Bubaigawara-san's quirk but also for his accurate analysis of Bakugou's actions and choices." His eyes narrowed as he turned his attention to Katsuki and said, "Speaking of which, I WILL be having a word with you about what you've said to your team mates just now, Bakugou Katsuki." Katsuki felt cold sweat run down his neck as he realised that Shouta was not pleased by what he had said to the rest of his team mates.

Shouta then turned his attention to the rest of Bakugou's team and said, "While I understand that something upsetting has happened between you four and him, please note that there will be times when a pro-hero must cooperate with a disliked person. Even if you're certain that he won't listen to you, you should have at least informed him of the possibility of Izuku's plan."

Mina, Eijirou, Denki and Hanta nodded in understanding while Shouta explained to the rest of the class, "Midoriya's team will be taking a short break to recover from their match which was admittedly more intense than expected. As such, Teams B and C will have their turn together while Team D will have it's turn with Midoriya's team. Team B will be the robbers while Team C will be the heroes…"

Suddenly, every human individual with a working pair of testicles within U.A. High School cringed…

--A short while ago, at Ground Omega…--

Neito, together with Tetsutetsu, Itsuka, Nirengeki and Pony, were making their way through the forested training ground when they saw Nyujou who was, of all things, taking a nap in the middle of a flower field with an adorably contented smile on her face. Neito smirked at the noumu-girl's ridiculously lax attitude while the rest of his team mates felt bad about interrupting her obviously blissful nap.

It should be noted that Sekijirou slapped his hand onto his face upon seeing Nyujou getting distracted by the flowers and deciding to take a nap instead of trying to find her opponents.

Not wanting to waste the opportunity, Neito touched Tetsutetsu and Nirengeki to copy their quirks. Realising what Neito was planning to do, Pony softly said, "Wait, shouldn't we wake her up and remind her that she shouldn't be sleeping during the match?"

"And waste out opportunity to defeat her while she's unguarded? I think not!" said Neito.

Itsuka frowned as she spoke, "While I understand the logic behind it, I can't really condone it either."

"Me neither," said Nirengeki.

"It's just plain unmanly!" said Tetsutetsu.

Neito rolled his eyes and argued, "It's not wrong to take advantage of situations which are in our favour. Sure, she's not an actual villain but she's powerful enough that I'm not sure if we can take her down even with the five of us against her. The way I see it, I say we take her down fast and hard before she has a chance to strike back."

Itsuka was about to argue with Neito when Tetsutetsu held her shoulder and said, "Let him try it his way." He then turned his attention to Neito and said, "However, unless she plans to actually maim you or worse, we're not going to be responsible for whatever she's going to do to you if she somehow manages to hit you back."

Neito's smug smirk wavered ever so slightly as he replied, "Your… voice of reason is appreciated."

A short while later, Neito cautiously approached Nyujou from downwind while the rest of his team mates decided to stay out of Nyujou's range of sight. As soon as Neito was close enough, he immediately leapt into the air and punched Nyujou's stomach with his iron-hardened fist. He then switched from Tetsutetsu's quirk to Nirengeki's quirk so that the already-strong impact hit Nyujou again with several times the force of the original blow. A few tense seconds passed before Neito's smirk widened as he was confident that he had defeated Nyujou.

Neito's elation was short-lived as Nyujou suddenly opened her eyes and glared at him balefully. She then grabbed him by the neck and easily lifted him up with just one hand while she snorted angrily at him with steam coming out of her flared nostrils. Neito did the sensible thing and turned his body into steel to safely withstand whatever attack Nyujou was planning to do to him.

He never expected an uppercut to his crotch.

Now, for a simple calculation:

[(Nyujou's original mutation quirk which already grants her some form of strength enhancement) (The sum of various inserted quirks including Strength Enhancement, Impact Boost and an imperfect copy of Indomitable Spirit) - (Neito's copy of Tetsutetsu's quirk)] X [Damage multiplier from being hit in the family jewels] = [Ungodly levels of pain which would have neutered Neito if he was not using Tetsutetsu's quirk]

Neito's shriek of unalloyed agony rang throughout the training ground, causing birds to fly in mortal terror while every human with a functional pair testicles in U.A. High School cringed in phantom pain at the very least.

Neito's male classmates and their home room teacher Sekijirou, collectively covered their groins with pained expressions on their faces. A few even whimpered pathetically but none of the girls from Class 1B or even the other noumu-girls blamed them. In fact, Ibara was actually fervently praying to her god to mercifully spare Neito's gonads.

Needless to say, Neito was immediately sent to Chiyo to have his private parts healed while Nyujou was immediately declared the winner of the match.

--Back to Class 1A…--

After the first match, Teams B and C went into the training ground to prepare for the next match. Ochako wore a determined smile as she spoke to her team mates, "All right, everyone, we're going to take the bags of money and run while defeating anyone who gets in our way!" Although she wanted to be a pro-heroine who brought smiles to other people, she was not above wanting to win the match even if the money was fake.

Tenya sighed as he was once again assigned to the role of a villain, much like his first hero training lesson. He then spoke to his team mates, "We need a proper plan to win the match."

Fumikage nodded and said, "Kouda will be particularly difficult to deal with due to his ability to command animals."

"Unlike Midoriya-kun's group, we can't make decoy bags or extra helping hands," said Tenya.

"Which means that we will have to either stick together or divide our team into two groups," said Tooru.

"I think we should stick together and shine as one," said Yuuga who then explained, "Kouji-kun's animals will make any attempt at splitting up pointless.

"Not only that, but Shinsou-kun's brainwashing is impossible to break out off unless someone hits the brainwashed target hard enough to knock him or her out of it," said Ochako who knew about Hitoshi's brainwashing quirk.

Tenya nodded at Yuuga and ochako before he turned his attention to the rest of his team and asked, "Any disagreements with sticking together?" Receiving none, he then turned his attention to Ochako and asked, "How long can you keep the bags weightless, Uraraka-kun?"

--Meanwhile, with Team C from Class 1A…--

"We can't allow them have a head start," said Mashirao.

Rikidou nodded and said, "Between Iida's speed and Uraraka's zero-gravity, they can easily outrun us."

Mezou turned his attention to Kouji and asked, "Can your animals help to prevent their escape?"

Kouji nodded while Hitoshi said, "I can try to brainwash them but that will depend on how responsive they are."

"What do you mean?" asked Mashirao.

"I can brainwash people who verbally respond to me. While I can have multiple people under my control, I can only gain control of person at a time. I also can't command them to do any complex actions although it shouldn't be a problem in this case," explained Hitoshi.

"Well, most of them are pretty expressive and responsive so it shouldn't be too hard for you to brainwash at least one of them," said Rikidou while Kouji nodded.

"Maybe, but Uraraka already knows about my quirk so there's a chance that I'll be unable to take control of anyone," said Hitoshi.

"Still, we'll have to try stopping them from escaping and your quirk will certainly help," said Mashirao.

Hitoshi sighed and asked, "Since you're their classmates, do you know anything I can say to them to make them respond to me?"

--Meanwhile, with Team B from Class 1B…--

Setsuna's team was very nervous as they slowly traversed through the forested training ground in search of Himiko. They did not quite understand why it felt as though the training ground was darker and creepier than the last time they had trained there.

Kojirou was nervously looking around as he stammered, "W-we'll be fine, right?"

"If by fine you mean that she won't drink us dry, probably," said Setsuna.

Kojirou whimpered in fear while Ibara glared at Setsuna and said, "You shouldn't be scaring him!"

Setsuna scratched the back of her head sheepishly and said, "Sorry about that, but I'm getting pretty spooked myself. I mean, it feels like we've been stalked for a while now…" She then noticed Himiko who was grinning at them toothily with a predatory look in her eyes while hanging upside down from a tree.

"Holy shit!" yelled Setsuna who them detached her arms from her shoulders so that she could "rocket punch" Himiko. However, Himiko easily dodged the incoming attack and giggled as she immediately retreated before the rest of Setsuna's team could retaliate. She was so fast that they could barely see her move.

After Himiko had left, Juuzou asked, "Am I the only one who's getting some SERIOUS horror film vibes from this match?"

Manga created a "fearful face" emoji while the rest of the team nodded in affirmative.

"So… does anyone want to continue moving of should we bunker down instead?" asked Setsuna who was spooked by Himiko's predatory grin.

"I think bunkering down is a wiser decision," said Juuzou.

Ibara nodded and used her vines to create a massive protective dome while Setsuna "broke" into several floating pieces so that she could patrol and look for any signs of Himiko who might be within the dome. Juuzou quickly sank into the ground to do his own reconnaissance while Manga and Kojirou stood guard to protect Ibara.

What they did not realise was that Himiko, who was indeed inside the dome, had been observing them with the aid of her echolocation and had developed a plan to win the match. The first thing she did was to run after Setsuna's flying pieces and bite one of them to draw blood for consumption before running away.

Setsuna grimaced as she told the others through her earpiece, "I've found Toga-san! She's inside the dome and she has just bitten me!"

"Wait, isn't she someone who can transform into other people by drinking their blood?" asked Juuzou who, like the rest of Class1B, had been briefed on what the three new noumu-girls could do.

"Yeah, she is," confirmed Setsuna who then said, "If you guys see me approach, ask me a question which she's unlikely to know the answer of!"

"Understood," said Ibara who maintained her vigilance together with Manga and Kojirou.

Suddenly, Ibara, Setsuna, Kojirou and Manga heard a powerful shriek followed by Juuzou's agonised scream of pain over their earpieces. The four students grimaced in pain as they pulled the earpieces off to protect their sense of hearing. As suddenly as it had happened, the shrieking stopped.

Worried, Setsuna reattached her earpiece and yelled, "Honenuki, what happened!?" Receiving no reply, Setsuna yelled again, "Please respond, Honenuki!"

As the agonising seconds of silence passed, Kojirou asked fearfully, "I-is Honenuki done for?"

Just as everyone had assumed the worst, Juuzou responded, "I… I'm all right!" He then explained, "Toga-san… attacked me."

"No shit, Sherlock!" said Setsuna who then asked, "Can you keep going?"

"No," said Juuzou who then added, "I'm heading back. My ears still hurt."

"Okay, you do that," said Setsuna who then set her earpiece so that she could have a private conversation with Ibara, "Shiozaki, what are the chances that our classmate has just been replaced?"

"Considering the fact that she might have used your quirk to remove that collar, quite likely," said Ibara.

"Bury some of your vines into the ground around you so that he can't sneak up on you three and capture him as soon as you can. Even if he's the real one, it's better to be safe than sorry," said Setsuna.

Due to being prepared for the possibility of Himiko impersonating Juuzou to the point of being able to use his quirk, Ibara, Manga and Kojirou were able to restrain her successfully. Unlike Wankuro, Himiko could not create flames around her body so Ibara was able to restrain her while Kojirou covered her in sticky glue. No one blamed the shy boy for using his glue excessively to ensure that Himiko was fully restrained.

It should be noted that Himiko had indeed used Setsuna's quirk so that she could detach her head from her body and allow the collar to fall off. As versatile as her transformation ability was, she could not transform her clothes so she either had to be naked or wear special clothes that contain her hair to be able to transform successfully. Many of the spectators of the match wore worried expressions at the implications of Himiko being cunning enough to bypass the security measures set into place to keep her in check.

--Back to Class 1A…--

"Team C wins the match!" announced Shouta.

Although Ochako's team did their best to escape with the money, there was simply no way for them to escape the pigeons under Kouji's command. Not even Tenya's speed while carrying the weightless bags of money were enough to escape from the other team.

There was also the fact that Fumikage and Yuuga could not work together well due to Fumikage's Dark Shadow being weakened by Yuuga's laser beams. Tooru, who had recently learnt how to refract light with her invisible body, tried to blind the other team by turning herself into a living "flash bomb".

However, Mezou's ability to switch his extra eyes for extra ears allowed him to accurately pinpoint Tenya who was escaping with the money. He was therefore able to throw Mashirao towards Tenya to block his way even though he was still blinded. Dark Shadow, who was badly weakened by Tooru's "flash bomb" attack, was unable to stop Mashirao from blocking Tenya's way long enough for Kouji to command more birds to stop the speedy teen.

Although Ochako had warned the rest of her team about Hitoshi's ability to brainwash people, the purple-haired boy was still able to take control of Yuuga by asking him, "Your hair's really sparkly. How do you get it to shine like that?"

Unable to resist responding, Yuuga promptly tried to explain to Hitoshi and got brainwashed as a result. Hitoshi then ordered Yuuga to attack Fumikage with his laser beams.

Rikidou wasted no time to knock out Fumikage with a sugar-doped punch while Mashirao was able to hold Tenya long enough for the pigeons to attack again and Ochako's ability to negate gravity was useless in defending against the flock of birds.

Hitoshi was able to use his capture weapon to capture Tooru while Yuuga was ordered to attack Ochako. Ochako was able to avoid getting hit by the laser beams but she was unable to help Tenya who was eventually taken down by Mashirao who had superior hand-to-hand combat skills.

Although Ochako's team had lost the match, it was generally agreed that her team had done their best to win. As for the MVP of the match, it was agreed that Kouji was the MVP due to his ability to prevent the other team's escape with his pigeons.

--Meanwhile, with Team C from Class 1B…--

Yousetsu, Kamakiri, Sen and Kinoko were hugging each other while shrieking at the top of their lungs. Reiko on the other hand merely tilted her head curiously. As for why most of the team was shrieking, they had just found Ningyou who was hanging limply by what could be assumed to her strings while her head, arms and legs were bent at unnatural angles. Her dark eyes stared at them lifelessly as she did not so much as twitch from their reactions.

"H-holy fuck! Is she dead?!" yelled Yousetsu.

"I-I'm scared, shroom!" cried Kinoko.

"T-this has to be a fucking trick, right?" said Kamakiri.

"S-should we bring her to see Recovery Girl?" asked Sen.

Suddenly, the four panicked students felt something prick the backs of their necks. Their eyes widened as they suddenly lost control of their bodies.

Rei, who was the only one not terrified by Ningyou's act of "playing dead", noticed that her four team mates were no longer in control of their bodies. She then turned her attention to Ningyou and wore a soft smile as she spoke, "Well-played, Bunraku-san. Your ability to act like a twisted corpse is more commendable."

Ningyou smiled as she slowly untwisted her body and untangled herself from her own strings. She then said, "Your ability to stay calm in spite of my macabre display is also commendable, Yanagi-san."

Needless to say, Ningyou won the match and Sekijirou rubbed the bridge of his nose as he thought, "Those kids are going to get traumatised by the noumu-girls at this rate!"

--Back to Class 1A…--

It was time for Team D to take on Izuku's team of "robbers". Unlike Katsuki, Shouto already knew that Izuku could do with Jin's help and he refused to underestimate the "robbers". He also knew that Izuku was most likely going to change his strategy after everyone had seen the first one so he discussed with his team mates of possible scenarios.

"So, what are the chances that he will use the decoy-bags again?" asked Shouto.

"Considering how it would be impossible to tell the bags apart without opening them, pretty likely," said Momo.

"I might be able to tell them apart by listening to the sounds they make but I can't promise anything," said Kyouka.

"Asui-chan and I can go to the rooftops and attack them from above or cut off their escape," said Minoru.

"His balls will be useful in restraining them," said Kyouka.

"We should still be careful though. We still haven't seen what the other three men could really do, kero," said Tsuyu.

"Not to mention that the crystal dude might be able to break off his own crystals to free himself from Mineta's balls," said Kyouka.

Shouto nodded and said, "Remember, Midoriya-san knows our quirks and has already proven himself capable of making the most of the quirks he has on his side. We can't afford to lower our guard until we win the match." The rest of Shouto's team nodded in agreement with him when Shouta announced the start of the match.

Quickly taking action, Tsuyu wrapped her tongue around Minoru and leapt onto a rooftop while Shouto, Momo and Kyouka ran towards the scene of the "crime". As they had expected, Izuku had created duplicates of the bags again. However, unlike before, there was a copy of Izuku and a copy of Houjou. Upon seeing the three incoming heroes, Shin immediately asked Momo, "What is the most embarrassing thing you've ever done as a child?"

Momo suddenly felt compelled to confess, "I once found my parent's hidden stash of SM toys and, not knowing any better, decided to make copies of them for their wedding anniversary. Even Sebas found the gifts hilarious."

A moment of stunned silence passed before Momo blushed and hid her face behind her hands while crouching low. Shouto, Kyouka, Izuku and Izuku's copy blushed at the implications while Setsuno whistled and said, "Damn, it's always the seemingly prim and proper ones."

Minoru, who had head Momo's confession over his earpiece, rubbed his chin and asked, "So… who's the dom and the sub?" Tsuyu blushed while smacking the back of Minoru's head with her tongue.

It should be noted that Shouta was resisting the very tempting urge to slam his head against a nearby wall to purge his mind of Momo's confession.

Suddenly, Momo stood up straight and glared at Shin as she spoke, "No, I refuse to incapacitated by an embarrassing confession! If Midoriya-san can survive his dozens of embarrassing moments, then I should be capable of overcoming this much embarrassment!" Izuku sincerely wished that he could have said something to refute Momo's claim but he knew that she was merely stating known facts.

Momo then created what could only be described as a minigun that shot rubber bullets from her exposed belly. She glared at them as she hefted the bulky weapon with surprising ease.

Realising what was about to happen next, Izuku nervously asked Setsuno, "Setsuno-san, please tell me that you can steal that minigun."

Setsuno gulped nervously and replied, "I already tried."

As the minigun started to rev up, Izuku said, "Houjou-san, you might want to start covering our butts right about now!"

"No need to tell me twice!" yelled Houjou as he and his copy stood between his fellow "robbers" and Momo as she started to shoot a hail of rubber pellets at them. The two Houjous created hardened crystal shells and were barely able to stop the bullets from hitting the other robbers.

Shin hid behind Houjou and yelled in honest terror, "Mistakes have been made!"

"I never realised that Yaoyorozu-san can wield a modified minigun of all things!" said Izuku. He was hoping that Shin's quirk could be used to effectively render Momo ineffective in the match but the embarrassing confession had instead strengthened her resolve to win.

"Come on, we need to go while Houjou-san and his copy cover us!" said Izuku's copy.

However, the other robbers could not escape as Tsuyu and Minoru suddenly appeared before them. Minoru threw his balls to restrain Shin and Izuku's copy while Tsuyu used her tongue to grab hold of Jin and pull him towards her. She then delivered a kick to his chin which knocked him out.

Kyouka was about to attack the remaining "robbers" when she realised that Shouto seemed oddly distracted. She turned her attention towards him and saw him staring at Momo with what could only be described as a lovestruck look of awe on his blushing face. Resisting the urge to slap her hand onto her face, Kyouka yelled, "Todoroki! Stop staring at Momo and help us stop them!"

Shouto, who could not take his eyes of Momo as she wielded the minigun with a furious expression on her blushing face and noted every detail of her undeniably beautiful form, snapped out of his state of stupor and immediately created a wall of ice to block Izuku's group. However, Izuku was undeterred as he used 25% of One For All to break the thick ice wall which immediately reformed before he asked Soramitsu, "Tabe-san, can you eat through the ice?"

"Like eating ice cubes!" yelled Soramitsu who then started attacking the wall of ice by literary biting off and swallowing chunks of it.

However, Kyouka appeared from the side and created a wave of sound which stunned everyone. Izuku tried to flick his finger at Kyouka to knock her down but she easily saw the incoming attack and dodged while created another wave of sound.

Eventually, the match was over and Shouto's team had won.

--A short while later…--

"I am declaring Yaoyorozu as the MVP of the match. Any questions?" asked Shouta.

"Just one," said Tooru who then asked, "What did Shin do to her?"

Shouta sighed and said, "Long story short, he made fer confess about something embarrassing that she had done as a child." His eyes narrowed as he added, "I am NOT going to provide any details about it!"

Shouta then turned his attention to Shouto and asked, "As for you, why were you so distracted just now?"

Shouto blushed as he spoke, "I… honestly don't know. All I can tell you is that my face felt very hot and my chest felt really tight when I saw her pin them down with her minigun. I just couldn't take my eyes of her."

Everyone with even a lick of understanding in romance realised that Shouto had just fallen in love with Momo. Shouta slapped his hand onto his face and groaned in exasperation while Momo, who knew more about romance than Shouto did, blushed. Mina and Tooru smirked at Momo as they had found a new target to tease mercilessly. Shouto, who was unaware of what he had just implied, tilted his head curiously.

--Meanwhile, with Team D from Class 1B…--

Juurouta's team was travelling through the forested training ground cautiously with Shihai leading the way by stealthily moving his body between shadows while Juurouta took the rear guard. As they travelled, they kept an eye out for Wankuro whom they understandably assumed would attack them head-on. Suddenly, Wankuro appeared from behind the team and delivered a flying kick to the back of Juurouta's head, knocking him out in the process.

Shocked, by the unexpected attack from behind, the rest of Juurouta's team almost failed to react in time as Wankuro proceeded to attack Kousei by charging towards him to punch him in the stomach. Acting on instinct, Kousei created a thick wall of solid air between himself and Wankuro. However, instead of attacking the wall, Wankuro leapt back and retreated as suddenly as she appeared.

Shocked by Wankuro's unexpected strategy, Kousei nervously asked, "Is it just me or are our chances of winning are even lower than we initially expected?"

"Considering that she's fighting cautiously and Shishida's already down, I'm afraid so," said Hiryuu who decided to cover his entire body in scales.

Shihai frowned as he leapt into Kousei's shadow and said, "I'm willing to bet that she's observing us from the darkened shadows even as we speak."

Yui frowned as she took out a bag full of cheap glass marbles and said, "We need to force her out."

Realising what Yui was planning and understanding the severity of the situation, the other three members of the team nodded at her. Shihai, Kousei and Hiryuu took some of the marbles from Yui before all four of them scattered the marbles into the air at different directions. Yui then pressed her fingertips together, causing the marbles to suddenly grow massively. Kousei created a barrier of solid air to keep the team protected while Shihai returned to hiding in Kousei's shadow, ready to attempt taking control of Wankuro by merging with her dark-coloured body at a moment's notice. As the enlarged marbles crashed into the forested ground and caused trees to topple and fall, the four waited for Wankuro to appear again.

They did not expect her to suddenly appear in her wolf form with sharpened claws on her paws from underground. Right beneath their feet in fact.

Shocked by Wankuro's unexpected entrance, the team scattered in panic while she breathed out a small ball of fire to distract Hiryuu before she leapt onto Yui to pin her down and hold her neck between her sharp teeth. Although not expressive by nature, Yui's eyes were unmistakably wide in seemingly mild panic as she realised that Wankuro could easily rip her throat out if she wanted to. Not even Shihai dared to make a move until Sekijirou officially announced Wankuro as the winner.

--A short while later…--

Shouta was entering the teachers' office to write a report on the day's training exercise, including the stern lecturing which he gave to Katsuki with a very real and tempting threat of expelling him from the hero course if the explosive blond boy continued to refuse cooperating with his team mates, when he noticed Sekijirou who looked like he needed a bloody drink. Raising an eyebrow, Shouta asked, "Let me guess, the noumu-girls have your students hell, didn't they?"

The other pro-hero and home-room teacher groaned as he explained, "Ushimaru took a nap in the middle of training and almost neutered Monoma, who was already using a copy of Tetsutetsu's quirk at the time, after he had tried to take her down while she was napping. Recovery Girl said that it was a miracle that his… unmentionables were still salvageable."

Shouta paled as he said, "That might explain why every boy in my class and myself suddenly felt what could only be described as phantom pain in our groins and an overwhelming need to protect them. At the same time, no less."

Sekijirou laughed humourlessly and said, "You'll be seeing the actual footage of that debacle soon enough."

Shouta sighed as he could not disagree with the other pro-hero and said, "Speaking of debacles, I seriously need to have a word with Nedzu about Bakugou."

"You mean the boy whom his own classmates refused to team up with in the sports festival?" asked Sekijirou.

Shouta nodded and explained, "He not only refused to cooperate with his team mates but he even basically admitted that he would not have cared if Himiko Toga died because she used to be an asset of the League of Villains."

Sekijirou frowned as he spoke, "Okay, I'll have to say that's fucking messed up. Even if she had killed several people, she wasn't given a choice to be a noumu either."

"Which was something that both his team mates and I have already mentioned to him," replied Shouta who then added, "However, he stubbornly refused to agree with us and something tells me that doing so would have been no different from admitting defeat from his own point of view."

"It's one thing to have strong convictions even in the face of terrible adversity but those convictions need to be ones worth fighting for," said Sekijirou.

"The ironic thing is, both Midoriya and Katsuki have very strong drives to be pro-heroes but the way they go about it simply can't be any more different. While Midoriya wants to save and protect people, Katsuki simply wants to defeat villains and be better than everyone else. Another difference is that Midoriya fully understands the need to defeat villains, which often requires being the best he can be, while Katsuki is apparently uninterested in helping others beyond the absolute minimum as a professional," said Shouta.

"Meaning that he won't give a damn about helping anyone whom he deems as not worth his time which, in his case, happens to include people who had been unwillingly turned into villainous assets," said Sekijirou.

"While I do worry about Midoriya's apparent willingness to help villains, as we all know that there are genuine monsters and worse out there, Katsuki's callous behaviour is far more concerning," said Shouta who then added, "Considering that I already have so many students in my class as it is, I plan to have him removed from the hero course if he continues to refuse changing his ways."

Sekijirou sighed as he spoke to Shouta, "I honestly don't blame you but, given everything that you have already told me about that boy, I get the feeling that doing so may end up with him choosing to become a vigilante, at best."

"I know, but it's the one threat that honestly terrifies him and I have no intention of making it an empty one," said Shouta.

Nedzu would later receive the reports and agree with both Shouta and Sekijirou that something should be done about Katsuki's attitude problem before he got himself expelled due to his own foolish hubris. Fortunately, Katsuki's parents were likely to agree to the idea of him receiving mandatory counselling from Hound Dog and Nedzu was already planning to have additional pro-heroes helping out as "guest teachers" including Miruko and Best Jeanist.

--Back in Dorm 1A…--

Izuku stared at the room with wide eyes as he asked Inko, "Mum, why are Wan-chan and my rooms merged into one?"

Inko giggled as she explained, "Well, after seeing how cramped your bed had become of late, I made a simple request to Nedzu to have the two rooms merged together into one. Toshinori-kun, Ishiyama-san and Maijima-san were kind enough to offer a helping hand."

Izuku idly noted that Inko had called Toshinori by his first name and made a mental note to ask him about it at a later date as he stared at Eri, Wankuro and Himiko happily rolling about on the futons placed on the floor to make up for the loss of the beds. Is should be noted that the three girls were rolling about in perfect synchronisation.

After satisfying herself, Wankuro stopped rolling about and immediately turned her attention to Izuku. She then patted one of the futons and said, "Izu-chan, come here! It's comfy!"

In spite of his bewilderment and embarrassment, Izuku chuckled and replied, "Not that I don't want to, but I don't want to miss dinner either. Satou-kun, Aoyama-kun and Tsuyu-chan are making chicken pasta and salad today."

Suddenly, Eri, Wankuro and Himiko felt their tummies rumble, reminding them that they had not eaten dinner yet. The three girls blushed as they chuckled and giggled sheepishly.

A short while later, Izuku, Inko, Wankuro, Himiko and Eri were downstairs in the common area and were soon having dinner with the rest of his classmates other than Katsuki so was eating by himself as usual. Although Izuku had not liked Katsuki for a very long time, he could not help but notice that the blond boy was quieter than usual and his shoulders seemed to be actually sagging ever so slightly. Izuku shook his head and hoped that whatever Shouta had told Katsuki knocked some sense into him.

Izuku then turned his attention towards Shouto who was sitting together with Momo. Although embarrassed by Shouto's awkward attempt at romance, Momo knew about the scarred boy's painful past and was thus willing to let him sit next to her with a kind and understanding smile which only made his new feelings for her stronger. Only time would tell if the two would grow closer to become friends if not something more.

Turning his attention away from the new couple, Izuku idly noted Denki and Hanta glaring at Shouto enviously while Minoru was, shockingly enough, not bothered by it. In fact, Minoru was busy paying attention to Ningyou's documentary-like recount of the noumu-girls' training session with Class 1B and was genuinely interested in what she had to say. To be fair, Minoru was not the only one as Fumikage, Mashirao, Hitoshi, Mezou, Kyouka and Tenya were equally interested in the recount.

Speaking of the noumu girls, Nyujou was happily eating her massive bowl of salad with a bit of pasta added for flavour while seated next to Eijirou who was eating his share of pasta and salad. Wankuro was essentially inhaling her pasta noodles while Himiko was adding a LOT of ketchup on her own pasta.

Izuku was about to look at the rest of his classmates, including Mina who was seated next to Eijirou and was busy talking to Tooru, when Ochako poked him in the cheek and asked, "Is everything okay, Deku? You've been spacing out."

Blushing in mild embarrassment, Izuku explained, "I'm just looking at basically everyone getting along with one another." He then smiled and added, "I'm really glad to be in this school with you all."

Ochako, Tsuyu, Wankuro, Himiko and Inko smiled at Izuku while Katsuki clicked his tongue in displeasure but said nothing more.

Yes, Ochako, Tsuyu, Wankuro, Himiko and Eri enjoyed the new room and the futons immensely as they were able to sleep more comfortably while staying close to Izuku.

--End Chapter--

…

…

--On the day after Himiko, Nyujou and Ningyou were supposed to die…--

Kurogiri was close to hyperventilating as he heard Nedzu's announcement about the three noumus who had not only been miraculously saved but would soon be accepted as new students of U.A. High School for the sake of their rehabilitation and reformation. He, along with the four new members of the League of Villains, stared at Tomura who was once again completely dumbstruck by what he had heard. The misty villain fervently prayed, "Please… don't throw another tantrum! I have just started getting attached to this new bar!"

"Sensei… you're hearing this… right?" asked Tomura.

"Yes, I have," said All For One, who was speaking over the "television", and added, "I have to say that this is rather… unexpected."

"Unexpected?" asked Tomura who then angrily yelled, "Those bastards have gotten three more noumus on their side! At the rate this is going, we might as well as hand the rest over to them!"

"I understand your anger, Tomura," said All For One who then explained, "However, think about it this way: In saving those three noumus, the heroes have been forced to show their hand in revealing a new kind of medical treatment, one that can actually reverse what should be irreversible damage."

Tomura's eyes narrowed as he asked, "Kind of like revealing that they have a high-class healer who can revive a killed part member or a powerful healing of item that offers the same effect."

"Precisely, Tomura," said One For All who then asked, "So, what should we do about it?"

Tomura was quiet for a moment before he replied, "We gather more information. We already have a spy in U.A. High School but there's one other person who might have the answers we need."

"Oh, and who would that be?" asked All For One who seemed both pleased and amused.

Turning his attention towards his four new members of the League of Villains, Tomura said, "Their former boss told them that a certain little girl was very important to him." He wore a sick grin as he added, "I'm willing to bet that his right-hand man will be more than happy to tell us more about her if we offer to… 'save' him in the process."

All For One laughed cruelly as he spoke to Tomura, "Well done, Tomura! I am pleased to see that you have managed to come to this conclusion on your own with only a small bit of intervention on my part." He then ordered Kurogiri, "Kurogiri, find Giran. I want him to find out everything about the whereabouts of both Kurono Hari and Chisaki Kai."

Immensely relieved that Tomura was not about to ruin his bar, again, Kurogiri bowed to the "television" and said, "As you command, master." He then disappeared in a misty black portal.

Tomura giggled dementedly as he monologued, "You and your friends have won this round, Midoriya Izuku, but you have not yet won the war." He then looked at a picture of Bakugou Katsuki and his sick grin widened as he added, "And you're not the only one who can steal team mates!"

--End of Extra Scene--

Author's Notes:

Holy cow… this chapter's longer than I have expected!

Someone once mentioned that Katsuki seemed OOC in this story and thought that it might have something to do with Izuku's more antagonistic relationship with him. While I am sure that different people have different opinions, that statement is only partly correct in my point of view. While it is true that Katsuki is definitely affected by Izuku's antagonistic relationship with him, it's less being Katsuki being OOC and more like Katsuki is still stuck in his "pre-character development" mindset. Don't forget, we're talking about someone who has not only suicide-baited Izuku in canon but also refused to thank Izuku for actually doing something to save him during the sludge-villain incident, gone against Toshinori's prohibition to use his support item just so that he could defeat Izuku, was honestly considering defeat over cooperating with Izuku and basically yelled at "victims" from the 'Help Us Company' when he was supposed to be reassuring them at the very least. Combine his obsessive desire to win and not appear weak with an even greater level of loathing towards Izuku who has not considered him a friend for years (and in fact sees him as a villain to some degree) and Katsuki's current persona seems to be the logical result. Not only that, but Katsuki is even more disliked by Class 1A than canon due to Izuku being more willing to let others know about his antagonistic relationship with Katsuki which means that there is no "Bakusquad" to support him. It can even be said that Katsuki's mentality is essentially: [I hate Deku and, with rare exceptions like Midoriya Inko, everyone who likes him.]

As for the part with Neito, someone wanted to see him get kicked in the nuts so I delivered, and then some. XD

I will be posting about two more chapters of this before continuing with the other two stories.

Until next time, go beyond, plus ultra!
