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 16: End Term Exams Part 1
A week had passed after Izuku and his friends visited Momo's home and the students from both Class 1A and Class 1B soon took part in the written portion of the exam. Thankfully, none of them had any failing marks in their exam papers and both Mina and Denki thanked Momo gratefully for helping them with their studies for the past two weeks.
As for the noumu-girls and Eri, they were given simplified versions of the written exams. Ningyou, who was arguably the smartest of the noumu-girls, was given a significantly harder written test compared to the other noumu-girls, albeit not as difficult as that of the original tests for the other first year students. Nedzu was pleased by her good test results and decided that she should study the same education syllabus as the majority of Class 1A starting from the following term after the summer break.
On the day after the end of the written exams, the students from Classes 1A and 1B gathered at the central plaza of the practical exam area in U.A. High School. They noticed that their teachers were present to greet them. Among them were Shouta (a.k.a. Eraser Head), Sekijirou (a.k.a. Vlad King), Toshinori (a.k.a. All Might), Nemuri (a.k.a. Midnight), Hizashi (a.k.a. Present Mic), Ken (a.k.a. Cementoss), Higari (a.k.a. Power Loader), Thirteen, Snipe and Ectoplasm.
"We will now begin the practical portion of the exam," announced Shouta.
"Before we begin, take note that this exam will be different from the exams that your seniors did in previous years," said Sekijirou.
Izuku and most of the other students tensed up while Momo spoke aloud, "So the exams have indeed been changed to account for our current circumstances." Izuku, Tenya, Shouto, Ochako, Tsuyu and Itsuka had wasted no time in warning their respective classmates about the possible changes in the practical exam.
Nedzu suddenly emerged from the capture tape around Shouta's neck and replied, "Indeed they have, Yaoyorozu-kun." He then lowered himself with the help of the capture tape and explained, "Due to not only the addition of the noumu-girls but also recent events which may lead to a surge in villainy in the future, we have decided to have this exam focused on rescuing 'civilians' while fending off 'villains'."
"You're not telling us that we have to rescue 'civilians' AND fight you at the same time, are you?" asked Yousetsu who was sincerely hoping that the answer would be negative.
"As a matter of fact, yes, you do!" replied Nedzu who seemed too cheerful to be reassuring as he explained, "Students from both classes will be divided into teams of five to face an opposing team of 'villains' composed of two pro-heroes plus one more. The additional 'villain' may be another pro-hero or a selected third-year student who already has a provisional pro-hero licence."
Izuku paled as he asked, "Those third-year seniors include the Big Three, don't they?" Considering his experience with Mirio, Izuku felt justified in fearing the worst case scenario.
Nedzu's smile twitched upward before he replied, "Of course, Midoriya-kun!"
"Isn't that basically the same as facing three pro-heroes at the same time then?!" yelled Minoru, Denki and Hanta. The students from Class 1B became worried by their exclamation.
Toshinori, resisted the urge to bow before the students to beg for forgiveness as he forced himself to laugh and speak with a smile, "Heroes are expected to face and somehow overcome impossible odds! Besides, most of us will be putting ourselves at a handicap!"
"A handicap?" asked Itsuka.
"Before explaining about the handicap, it's best that you all understand the rules of the practical exam first," said Nedzu who then explained, "Each team will be given ten minutes to plan and organise a strategy before the start of the exam. The time limit of the exam itself is thirty minutes. Within that time limit, you have two ways to pass the exam."
Higari took out a holographic projector to reveal a white humanoid robot which had an androgynous appearance and a black oval screen in place of a face. As the students took note of the holographic image, Higari explained, "This is a recent model of robot designed specifically to act as a distressed or injured civilian. Each testing ground will have one hidden 'civilian' and you must make a choice between finding and saving the 'civilian' or defeating the opposing team of three 'villains'."
"To save the 'civilian', you must first locate it and take it out of the testing ground before the time limit ends. Needless to say, you will automatically fail the test if the civilian is 'killed'," said Ectoplasm who then added, "Leaving the testing ground without the civilian is NOT an option and the 'villains' will harass you while you search and rescue the 'civilian'."
"Of course, you can decide to focus on taking out the 'villains' quickly instead of taking the 'civilian' out of the testing ground or even trying to locate it. However, you will have to consider the risk of accidentally getting the 'civilian' harmed or worse due to collateral damage," said Thirteen.
"You will also have to consider the fact that the 'villains' can take you out as well. If all five members of your team are defeated, you will fail the test," explained Ken.
Nemuri took out some handcuffs and explained, "To take out the 'villains', you must restrain them with these handcuffs, disable them or knock them out. All three of them must be restrained or knocked out to pass the test. Any 'villain' who has been restrained or knocked out will be automatically disqualified and will therefore no longer pose a threat to you or the 'civilian'."
"In other words, as long as the 'civilian' is safe, you can decide to either take the civilian out of the testing ground while fending off the 'villains', focus on defeating them instead or do a bit of both," said Snipe.
"How are we going to locate the 'civilian'? Not all of us have keen senses or detection quirks," asked Mina.
"Then you will have to either use your deductive skills or take a chance and defeat the 'villains' before they can locate and harm the 'civilian'," said Nedzu who then added, "To make the test fairer to you all, the 'villains' will not immediately harm the 'civilian'. Instead, they will attempt to capture it and hold it hostage first. What happens during such a hostage situation will depend on both what the 'villains' want to do with you and how you respond to it."
"Speaking about making the test fairer, the 'villains' will wear ultra-compressed weights which will weigh them down by half their body weight," said Nemuri who then added, "However, 'villains' who will be facing teams with a noumu-girl will have one unrestrained member."
Denki rubbed his chin as he realised, "Which means that there will be a total of four 'villains' who will not be weighed down."
"Considering how strong the noumu-girls are, I can't really blame them," said Eijirou while most of the other students silently agreed with his statement.
"The teams of students and 'villains' have already been decided," said Shouta who then explained, "They were determined at our collective discretions based on various factors including fighting style, grades and interpersonal relationships."
"Without further ado, let's introduce the other pro-heroes and the third-year students!" said Toshinori.
Several pro-heroes and third-year students appeared from the behind the teachers. Among them were Rumi (a.k.a. Miruko), Yuu (a.k.a. Mount Lady), Tensei (a.k.a. Ingenium), Sorahiko (a.k.a. Gran Torino), Centipeder who came on behalf of Mirai (a.k.a. Sir Nighteye), Shinji (a.k.a. Kamui Woods), Tsunagu (Best Jeanist), Death Arms, The Big Three, The Wild Wild Pussycats, a large round man with round eyes, a large mouth and a wide mouth named Toyomitsu Taishirou who was also known as the pro-hero, Fatgum, a blond woman with notably sharp teeth and thin yellow eyes that slanted inwards and had slit pupils named Tatsuma Ryuuko who was also known as the pro-heroine, Ryuukuu, and Yuuyu who was dressed in grey sleeveless kimono-style blouse, a pair of black baggy trousers, a red haori-style jacket, a pair of wooden 'geta' footwear with red threads and a rope-style belt with red and white strings.
Sekijirou stepped forward with a hologram projector and said, "The teams and exam venues will be as follows…"

--End of list…--
Nearly all the students gave a collective sigh of relief as none of them would have to face All Might himself. Nedzu chuckled at their reaction and said, "Yes, I'm aware that having All Might and myself take part in the test will be utter 'overkill' so the both of us will be monitoring your progress with Midoriya-san, Eri-kun and Recovery Girl."
Toshinori almost grimaced as he thought, "The only reason why Nedzu has decided to not include me in the test is because I had to literally beg him to give the students mercy and consider my shortening time limit. I don't even want to know what he would have done if he did not care about having nearly everyone fail the test!"
"Now, without further ado, please make your way to your respective testing grounds," said Nedzu who was clearly eager to find out what would happen next.
While the students and their chosen opponents made their way to their respective testing grounds, Izuku turned his attention to Nejire, Ryuukuu and Snipe and thought, "I'll have to think of a way for us to somehow rescue the 'civilian' without getting taken out by the 'villains."
Neito noticed Izuku's attention towards the three 'villains' and scoffed as he thought to himself though, "Not even five minutes into the exam and that arrogant attention-seeker from Class 1A is already assuming that he's the leader of the group!"
Wankuro had her eyes on Rumi and was grinning broadly as she and the bunny-themed pro-heroine had one common thought, "This'll be fun!"
Momo noticed Wankuro's eagerness to fight with Rumi and sighed as she spoke to Shouto, "Todoroki-kun, what are the chances that Wan-chan and Miruko will be having their own personal duel regardless of the exam requirements?"
"Very likely," replied Shouto who sympathised with Momo's resigned aggravation.
Katsuki glared at Mirio and thought, "I'm going to prove that I'm the best by taking down the fucking extra whom Deku couldn't even hit once!"
Hitoshi noticed Katsuki's glare and whispered to Himiko, "We're going to have to remind that idiot that Tougata Mirio is not the only opponent we will be facing. I doubt he'll even bother to listen to anyone from Class 1B." Himiko nodded in agreement with Hitoshi.
Eijirou and Tetsutetsu grinned at each other as they "fist-bumped" with their quirk-hardened fists. They both shared the common desire to pass the test by doing the best they could. Nyujou smiled as she was eager to help Eijirou pass the exam while Itsuka shook her head with a smile as she knew that she was going to be the "brains" of the team.
Minoru, Denki, Hanta and Kousei were grinning happily as they would be facing against sexy pro-heroines while Yousetsu sighed at their perverted tendencies.
Ochako spoke to Yuuga, "We'll need to speak to our team mates from Class 1B, Aoyama-kun. If I remember right, one of them has a quirk which clashes with yours." Since students from Class 1B had been training with students from Class 1A and Ochako had Izuku as a boyfriend, it was not surprising that she would have at least an idea of what some of the students from Class 1B were capable of.
Yuuga nodded at Ochako and replied, "A sound advice, Uraraka mademoiselle. It would not do if my dazzling quirk ends up hampering a fellow team mate."
Mina turned her attention to Tooru, Mashirao, Kojirou and Hiryuu to ask, "So, do any of you guys have any suggestions on what we should do to pass the test?" Hiryuu and Mashirao, who had sparred together during previous training sessions, nodded as they both had ideas on how to pass the test. Although their ideas were simple and required further discussion to ensure effectiveness, they both knew that simple logical ideas were better than none.
"It appears that we're now on the same side, Maiden of Vines," said Fumikage.
"So it seems, Raven of Shadows," agreed Ibara.
"It galls me to say this but we should put aside our differences to ensure our success in the test that is to come," replied Fumikage.
Ibara nodded grimly as she replied, "Though it pains me to admit this, even I realise that working together is essential for us all to pass this trial that the Lord has placed before us."
"Then let us plot a dark plan that will surely swallow our opponents into a pit of madness and despair," said Fumikage.
"A plan that would make these lost lambs realise the glory of the Lord," agreed Ibara.
While Ibara and Fumikage were having their discussion, Tsuyu hid her blushing face while Tenya bowed apologetically to Juurouta and said, "My deepest apologies for our… overly dramatic classmate, Shishida-san."
Juurouta bowed in return and replied, "I also wish to apologise for my classmate's… religious devotion."
Kyouka turned her attention towards Kouji and asked, "Are you going to be okay? I know that you don't like controlling bugs."
Kouji nodded and timidly replied, "I… I'll be fine. We need to win this!"
Kyouka grinned at Kouji and patted his back while Mezou spoke to Manga and Juuzou, "Given the testing field and Kouji's quirk, we have a major advantage on our side. However, I can't imagine the pro-heroes being unprepared for us."
Juuzou nodded and said, "We should plan accordingly."
After the students had departed to their respective testing grounds, Toshinori changed back to his original form and said, "I hope that they will pass the test. Facing pro-heroes and third-year students will not be easy even with the handicaps in place."
Nedzu chuckled and replied, "I'm sure that they will be fine. After all, we never said that there are ONLY two ways to pass the test."
--Training Ground Kappa…--
As a famous pro-hero school, it was no surprise that U.A. High School had a large number of training grounds for different scenarios in heroics. In fact, the school had a total of twenty-four training grounds from Training Ground Alpha to Training Ground Omega. That was not counting the various gyms, the USJ and the stadium which was used for sports festivals. Besides providing different scenarios for heroics training, having a total of twenty-four different training grounds also allowed the students to train consistently even if a few training grounds were closed for maintenance and repair.
Training Ground Kappa was a marshland zone and was obviously designed with the intentional pun of referencing the Japanese youkai of myth, the kappa. Izuku grimaced at the thought of wading through the wet marshland but he knew that he had no other choice if he wanted to pass the exam. While waiting for the test to begin at the front entrance into the training ground, he turned his attention towards his team mates and said, "We don't have much time before the exam begins so we need to form a plan as quickly as possible."
Neito smirked smugly as he replied, "And I'm assuming that the plan will involve us following your lead, oh high and mighty leader?"
Izuku frowned as he replied, "No, at least not without making sure that our team can win even if Bunraku-san and I get 'preoccupied'."
"You seem pretty damned sure that you two will be targeted," said Togaru.
"Considering that Bunraku-san is a noumu-girl and that Ryuukuu actually wanted me as an intern after the sports festival, I get the feeling that we're going to be targeted first unless the 'civilian' is found," replied Izuku.
Neito was about to say something sarcastic when Reiko smacked the back of his head before she turned her attention towards Izuku and said, "Your argument about Bunraku-san is sound but we can't ignore the possibility that they might decide otherwise."
"There's certainly that," admitted Izuku who then added, "What I'm really worried about is Hadou-san."
Curious, Ningyou asked, "Why is that?"
"I doubt I need to explain about Ryuukuu and Snipe-sensei's quirks but I don't know much about Hadou-san other than the fact that she's one of the Big Three, which means that she's on par with Tougata-senpai, and can generate spirals of energy which help her to fly," explained Izuku who then grimaced as he added, "What's more, she's unrestrained which means that she's free to use everything she's got against us."
Neito snorted and said, "Surely you must be exaggerating! I bet that you're just playing up the Big Three's strength just because you refuse to admit that you're nowhere near as good as you think you are!"
Izuku glared at Neito and asked, "You quirk is copying other people's quirks, right?"
"Yes, it is. What does it have to do with this conversation?" asked Neito.
"Well, let me tell you a few things about Tougata-senpai's quirk then," replied Izuku who then briefly explained Mirio's quirk to his team mates. Neito lost his smug smile as he listened to Izuku's description of Mirio's quirk which was honestly ridiculously difficult to master. After Izuku had explained about Mirio's quirk, he turned his attention towards Neito and asked, "Now, let me as you this question. Do you think you can use Tougata-senpai's quirk like he can after you copy it?"
Unable to make a reply, mostly because he knew that using Mirio's quirk effectively after copying it was impossible without months if not years of training, Neito averted his eyes from Izuku's gaze while clicking his tongue in displeasure. Even Togaru was shocked by what Izuku knew about Mirio's quirk.
Speaking of quirks which Neito could not use, he could not use Izuku's quirk either due to a stockpiling requirement for it to be usable. Izuku had already taken note of it and made sure to inform Toshinori.
"So that's why you're so worried about Hadou-san," said Reiko who then added, "You're fear that she's another person whom you can't even hit let alone defeat."
Izuku nodded and said, "That's why we need to plan a way to find and save the civilian as quickly and effectively as possible." He then turned his attention towards Neito and added, "Depending on the situation, Ningyou and I may have to hold the line while the rest of you rescue the 'civilian'."
Togaru glared at Izuku and argued, "Why can't we just take them on and cut them down?"
"I'm not saying that we shouldn't fight them at all," responded Izuku who then added, "However, I'd prefer risking a losing battle while the 'civilian' is escaping from the testing ground instead of otherwise."
Togaru crossed his arms with a huff but otherwise did not disagree with Izuku's argument. Reiko also agreed with Izuku's sound reasoning and asked, "So, how are we going to find the 'civilian'?"
"Honestly, I'd like to get airborne to find the 'civilian' but I'd rather not get shot down Snipe-sensei," answered Izuku who then turned his attention towards Neito and added, "Ningyou-san can locate people with her strings and Monoma-san can copy at least one of her quirks." One of the discoveries that was made during training was that Neito could not copy a noumu-girl's entire "set of quirks" without harming himself. That said, he could copy up to three separate quirks from them and use the individual quirks separately.
In spite of himself, Neito smirked as he knew what Izuku was planning and was willing to accept that the plan was passable and said, "Very well, I'll help with the search since you clearly can't get the job done quickly enough without my help."
Izuku ignored Neito's jab as he spoke to Togaru, "Kamakiri-san, have you been able to create armour and shields with your blades?"
Togaru, who had listened to Izuku's advice on quirk usage like the rest of his classmates during training, nodded and replied, "They all have sharp edges but I can make them."
"Then be ready to use your blades as shields or armour in case we need to protect the 'civilian'," said Izuku who the turned to attention to Reiko and said, "Yanagi-san, , can you use your telekinesis quirk to carry the 'civilian' or even restrain a villain? Even something a simple as a sudden tug or trip can help tremendously."
"I'm not confident about actually restraining someone but I can try if I have to," replied Reiko who then added, "That said, my quirk should be able to help in disarming Snipe-sensei and 'disabling' our opponents with the cuffs."
"That will do," said Izuku. He then spoke to everyone in the team, "Monoma-san and Bunraku-san will help with searching the civilian with the strings. Do not hesitate to use the strings to restrain our opponents or rescue the 'civilian'. Depending on the situation, Monoma-san might need to copy either Bunraku-san's other quirks or the quirks of either Yanagi-san or Kamakiri-san. As for Kamakiri-san, be ready to use your blades to cut down a path if we need to hurry, to fight off our opponents or even shield everyone else from harm. Yanagi-san, be ready to rescue the civilian or disable our opponents with your quirk. I'll keep an eye out in case Ryuukuu or Hadou-san decides to get airborne. Even if getting airborne is too risky for me, I can still provide cover fire if not attack our opponents directly." The rest of his team nodded in response.
It was at that moment when an announcement was made, "Team 1, practical exam. Ready, go!"
Realising that the exam had started, the entire team immediately made their move. As they moved forward, Ningyou created strings from her left hand to "feel" for the civilian and possible threats while she offered her right hand to Neito. She did not like the blond boy very much but she did not need to like him to cooperate with him. Neito accepted the hand and quickly copied her ability to create strings which he could then use to feel his surroundings. The two then spread out their strings from both hands. The rest of the team followed their lead as they carefully made their way through while ignoring the muddy water getting into their footwear.
Suddenly, Izuku noticed something blue and golden in the sky. His eyes widened as he realised that Nejire was airborne with spirals of golden energy emitting from her feet for propulsion and her hands for stability. Nejire was pointing at something in the distance before she noticed them. She smiled at Izuku and his team mates before she flew towards them at an alarming speed. The team of year-one students widened their eyes as she suddenly slowed down and pointed her arms at them while yelling apologetically, "I'd like to ask you all some questions but I have to do my part as a 'villain' in this test. Sorry about this!"
"Everyone, spread out and restrain her!" yelled Izuku as he immediately leapt towards Nejire while flicking the fingers on his right hand with 25% of One For All.
Nejire instinctively focused her attention towards Izuku to repel the incoming shock waves with her spirals of energy. She then felt a sudden tug on her left arm due to Yanagi's quirk which pulled onto one of the turquoise straps which were wrapped around her forearms as a part of her hero costume. Shocked by the tug which made her lose her balance, Nejire nevertheless reacted quickly as she created a strong burst of energy from her tugged left arm to propel herself and avoid the incoming shock waves. She then felt something wrapped around her feet which then pulled her downwards. Acting quickly, she created a powerful burst of spiralling energy from her feet which destroyed the strings that were wrapped around them. Neito frowned as he bit back a curse and thought, "As much as I hate to admit it, that attention hog was right about her being difficult!"
Izuku, who decided to avoid the risk of getting shot down by Snipe by landing back onto the muddy ground, yelled, "Keep up the pressure, everyone! Don't give her a chance to recover!"
Togaru ran towards Izuku and yelled, "Throw me!"
Izuku nodded at Togaru and offered his right arm for Togaru to leap onto. He then threw Togaru straight towards Nejire. As Togaru was thrown towards the third-year student, he covered his body in a literal armour of blades and attempted to punch her with a blade-covered fist.
Nejire quickly blasted Togaru away with an energy blast to avoid getting his by his attack when she felt strings wrapped around her waist. Unlike before, she was unable to destroy the strings before they pulled her downwards. Ningyou then used her strings to take control of Nejire's body by jabbing the tip of one string into the back of her neck. Izuku quickly clasped a pair of cuffs onto Nejire's wrists to render her disqualified from the match. The third-year student was wide-eyed as she had never expected to be defeated so quickly by a team of first-year students even if they had the help of a noumu-girl.
Once Nejire was successfully restrained, Izuku immediately asked his team mates, "Is everyone, especially Kamakiri-san, all right?"
Togaru, who was some distance away from the rest of the group, groaned as he got up and loudly asked, "Did anyone get the number of that senior who hit me like a fucking truck?"
Reiko turned her attention towards Izuku and said, "I think it's safe to assume that he's at least able to continue fighting."
"Well, that's one opponent down," said Neito who could not help but smile smugly as he thought that the team had a real chance of passing the test.
Izuku nodded and said, "Let's just hope that Ryuukuu and Snipe-sensei haven't found the 'civilian' yet."
"I wouldn't be too sure about that," said Nejire who then added, "They went straight for the 'civilian' while you five fought with me."
Ningyou frowned as she spoke, "We should have figured as much. Neither of them were present during our fight with her."
Suddenly, a gunshot could be heard as Ningyou was hit in the left shoulder by a bullet. The shot, while not fatal due since it was a rubber bullet, would have been damaging enough to disable her left arm had she not instinctively protected herself by hardening her skin.
Realising that Snipe was attacking the group, Izuku yelled, "Everyone, get down!"
Everyone immediately crouched low to avoid further attacks from Snipe whose quick allowed him to control the trajectory of any and all of his bullets. The team then heard Ryuukuu say, "I'm impressed. I honestly expected you all to have more trouble in taking down Nejire-Chan."
Izuku noticed that Ningyou was not only still able to fight but was already using her ability to bend her limbs at unnatural angles to move on all fours like an oversized insect. There was a noticeable limp in her movements due to her injured left shoulder but he knew that she could recover quickly. He decided to buy her time as she made her way towards either Snipe or Ryuukuu and loudly replied, "Training with the noumu-girls have taught us a thing or three."
Suddenly sensing danger, Izuku immediately leapt away with 25% of One For All and barely avoided a gunshot from Snipe. He then started running away from the rest of the group with 10% of One For All while Snipe continued to shoot at him with homing bullets. Realising that he could not dodge the bullets without pushing his limits due to the muddy ground which was slowing him down, Izuku activated Bio-Repair and 25% of One For All at the same time. Green flame-like energy surrounded his body as he moved to avoid the bullets.
Izuku gritted his teeth as his body protested from the continuous use of One For All at 25% but Bio-Repair was able to minimize and even undo the damage to his own body. He then leapt into the air with one leg while using 40% of One For All. While he was airborne, he noticed that Snipe was not holding the "civilian" hostage and was trying to reload his gun.
Normally, Snipe could reload his gun very quickly but the weights on his wrists had made him slower and clumsier than usual. Taking advantage of the situation, Izuku flicked the middle finger of his right hand with 40% of One For All thus causing the pro-hero who had used up the bullets in his revolver-styled gun to dodge the incoming shock wave. As soon as Izuku saw the pro-hero dodge, he flicked the ring finger of his right hand while the fractured bones and torn muscles of his middle finger healed. The green-haired boy then landed on his uninjured leg with Float activated so that his fractured leg could heal fully.
Snipe swore as he ducked low to avoid the second shock wave and got covered in muddy water as a result. His eyes widened as he saw Ningyou suddenly leap out of the vegetation and hurled her strings towards him. He tried to reload his gun but Reiko suddenly pulled the bullets away from him thus rendering him helpless as Ningyou quickly restrained him followed by cuffing him with a pair of cuffs.
Ryuukuu, who was holding a 'civilian' hostage, smiled and said, "Well done. I can see now why Nedzu wanted us to take part in the exam to challenge you all."
Izuku resisted the urge to nurse his still-healing fingers and leg as he asked, "You're planning to make us surrender since you have a hostage, aren't you?"
Ryuukuu smiled and said, "No, I'm not. What I want is to see how well you all fare against me at my full power." Suddenly, her wrists and ankles were freed from her restraints as she continued to speak to Izuku and his team, "In the real world, villains will use any means necessary to defeat pro-heroes. This includes using illegal drugs such as Trigger to boost their abilities such as their quirks."
Izuku and his team paled as Ryuukuu transformed into a massive dragon with wings on her back and pale-grey scales. The transformed pro-heroine held the "civilian" with her massive left hand and asked her opponents, "Will you be able to rescue this innocent 'civilian' from my grasp or will you fail as I crush it with a single hand? Know that it depends entirely on your ability to save it, heroes!"
The "civilian" whimpered pitifully as it struggled weakly in Ryuukuu's powerful grasp. The screen which was its face displayed a pair of round innocent eyes which were currently expressing an unmistakable emotion of distress with "tears". Izuku and his team mates felt their hearts constrict as they realised that the Support Department had not held back in making robots that could act convincingly as innocent victims.
Although intimidated by the powerful presence of one of the top-ten pro-heroes in all of Japan, Izuku grinned audaciously and said, "Only one way to find out…" He then yelled, "Everyone, go beyond!"
"Plus Ultra!" yelled Togaru as he suddenly appeared behind Ryuukuu while covered in an "armour of blades". Ryuukuu smirked as she easily swat Togaru aside with a flick of her tail. The armoured scales of her tail were damaged by Togaru's blades but the pro-heroine easily ignored the pain as she focused her attention towards Izuku and Ningyou while Togaru was sent flying, again.
Izuku activated Float and 25% of One For All at the same time so that he could leap upwards. As he got airborne, he flicked the fingers of his left hand rapidly with 25% of One For All. He was aiming at her right side, especially her right wing to avoid accidentally harming the civilian while trying to stop her from flying. As for Ningyou, she tried to attack Ryuukuu from her left side by wrapping her left arm and left leg with strings.
In spite of Izuku and Ningyou's efforts, Ryuukuu was an unrestrained pro-hero which meant that she could easily dodge the attacks. Realising that Ryuukuu was airborne, Izuku yelled, "Yanagi-san! Pelt her with whatever you've got while I try to bring her down!"
Reiko nodded and used her quirk to throw literal clumps of tall grass with wet and muddy roots at Ryuukuu's face in an attempt to blind her. The pro-heroine wore a disgusted expression as she avoided the muddy projectiles while Izuku quickly "air-dashed" towards her with bursts of One For All at 25%. He was very thankful that he was used to aerial fights due to training with Himiko and Sebas.
While Izuku tried to bring down Ryuukuu by getting behind her to attack her wings, Neito approached Ningyou and asked, "How high can you throw me?"
"Fairly high if I use my strings," answered Ningyou who then asked, "Are you planning what I think you're planning?"
Neito's smirk was all the answer Ningyou needed as she quickly wrapped her strings around his waist and then threw him towards Ryuukuu with all her might. Her torso and limbs twisted beyond normal human limits to provide extra momentum for Neito.
Ryuukuu was trying to swat Izuku away when she saw a certain human projectile named Neito flying towards her. Realising that Neito was trying to copy her quirk, Ryuukuu promptly decided to fly away from him. However, she failed to notice the strings on Neito's fingers as he wrapped them around her tail and quickly pulled himself towards it. The pro-heroine's eyes widened as Neito successfully touched her tail to copy her quirk. She was about to stop the blond boy by knocking him out when Izuku took advantage of her distracted state and delivered a punch with 25% of One For All onto her back between her wings.
Knocked down by the punch which had rendered her wings temporarily useless, Ryuukuu was brought low while Reiko and Ningyou took their chance to rescue the "civilian". Ningyou used her strings to forcefully pry Ryuukuu's hand, which already had a loosened grip due to Izuku's punch, open so that Reiko could use her telekinetic quirk to free the civilian from from the downed pro-heroine. Ryuukuu attempted to retrieve the civilian but Neito, who had copied her quirk, transformed into a significantly smaller dragon and grabbed onto her left hand.
It should be noted that Neito's current hero suit was made with his quirk in mind so that it could adapt to whatever quirks he had copied. He therefore did not need to worry about accidentally rendering himself naked while using Ryuukuu's quirk. As for how Neito came to realise the need to have his suit especially made, it involved him copying Wankuro's two abilities to transform into a wolf and produce crimson flames and then getting "butt-naked" as a result of using the two abilities at the same time.
Frustrated yet also impressed, Ryuukuu gritted her teeth as she tried to shake Neito and Ningyou off her left arm. Both students held on as Ningyou tried to jab one of her strings into the back of Ryuukuu's neck. However, the hard scales which ran along Ryuukuu's spine made it difficult for the puppet-like noumu-girl to take control of her.
Well aware that Izuku wanted to prioritize saving the "civilian", Reiko immediately ran off while yelling to her team mates, "I'll take the 'civilian' to the exit!"
"Duly noted!" yelled Neito who was clearly struggling just to hold onto Ryuukuu's left arm.
Ryuukuu was about to punch Neito in the face to get him off her when Izuku landed onto her right arm and yelled, "Deleware Smach: Point Blank!" Ryuukuu yelled in pain as Izuku flicked his middle left finger with 100% of One For All. Even with Bio-Repair activated, Izuku's left middle finger was broken to the point of being useless for the remaining duration of the fight. In spite of his injured finger, Izuku knew that Ryuukuu was even more injured as the humerus bone in her right arm was fractured if not broken. Indeed, Ryuukuu was unable to use her right arm at all and was soon forced to yield when Togaru appeared and threatened to cut holes into her wings to stop her from flying.
Needless to say, Izuku and his team had won.
--Shortly after the conclusion of the practical test for Team 1…--
Izuku bowed to Ryuukuu and apologised, "I'm so sorry for breaking your arm like that, Ryuukuu!"
In spite of her broken arm, Ryuukuu smiled reassuringly at Izuku and replied, "There's no need to apologise, Midoriya. I am one of the 'villains' for this test after all." She then added, "In fact, I'm more concerned about your broken finger."
Izuku scratched his cheek with an uninjured index finger and replied, "I'm pretty sure my finger will get better once we meet Recovery Girl." He then grimaced as he added, "I can't say the same for my shins or head though." Although Izuku could use Bio-Repair to completely heal his still-broken finger, he did not want to risk exhausting himself or accidentally deform the finger. Chiyo (a.k.a. Recovery Girl) had already warned him about the possibility of incorrect healing if he tried to hastily "repair" a badly damaged body part without proper knowledge of anatomy. Even Tsunade was willing to admit that rapid healing was not without its risks when trying to heal a body part which had been "shattered and shredded" especially when it had to be done quickly due to being in the middle of a battle. In fact, Izuku was already taking a risk by using Bio-Repair together with 40% of One For All.
Well aware of Chiyo's tendency to be strict towards reckless individuals, Snipe chuckled sympathetically and said, "If it makes you feel any better, I doubt she'll get all that upset with a broken finger."
"Midoriya-san's injuries aside, are all the other pro-heroes allowed to remove their own restraints?" asked Ningyou.
Ryuukuu nodded and said, "In the event that only one 'villain' remains in the test, the said 'villain' is allowed to release his or her own restraints to fight at full capacity at his or her own discretion."
Reiko had to ask, "Isn't that a bit much? What if the hero team has also suffered losses?"
"Like what Ryuukuu said just now, it's at the 'villain's' own discretion," explained Snipe who then added, "Ryuukuu released her restraints because she knew that fighting you five effectively would be impossible while restrained."
Ryuukuu nodded and explained, "I wanted to test your mettle and, I have to say, you five are impressive. I am especially impressed with Midoriya and Bunraku."
Izuku blushed bashfully while Neito huffed irritably yet stayed quiet as he knew that both Izuku and Ningyou had contributed significantly during the test. As for Reiko and Togaru, they were pleased that one of the top ten pro-heroes in all of Japan had praised them while Ningyou was simply happy to have done well.
Nejire, who felt that she had already waited long enough, decided to start asking questions, "Midoriya-kun, I noticed that you glowed green while fighting Snipe-sensei but didn't glow while fighting Ryuukuu until you broke her arm. Why's that?"
Although surprised by Nejire's question, he saw no harm in answering it as he explained, "Well, I unlocked the ability to heal myself and other people not long after my internship with Sir Nighteye. I can't use my floating ability and my healing ability at the same time though so that's why I didn't use my healing ability while Ryuukuu was airborne."
It should be noted that Izuku's classmates and the students from Class 1B already knew about his ability to heal himself and other people. Getting injured while sparring with the noumu-girls was hardly unusual after all.
"So your healing ability allows you to fight harder than usual?" asked Nejire.
"Pretty much," confirmed Izuku who then added, "That said, using that healing ability tires me out quickly hence why I can't use it for prolonged periods. There's also the risk of incorrect healing if I'm not careful about healing my own injuries due to being hasty."
"That's really strange, you know!" exclaimed Nejire who then added, "You basically have three quirks as it is!"
"You're not the only one who thinks that way," admitted Izuku.
Seemingly satisfied by Izuku's answers, Nejire was about to ask Neito about his quirk when Ryuukuu said, "You can ask your questions while we make our way back, Nejire-Chan. Besides, we need to get to Recovery Girl to get healed."
Nejire nodded at Ryuukuu and said, "Okay, let's get going then!"
Ryuukuu, who was used to Nejire's curious nature, shook her head with a rueful smile as she thought about how Izuku had ultimately chosen Rumi over her. She could not help but feel a little envious of the rabbit-like pro-heroine as she had also wanted Izuku as her intern. After all, Izuku was very likely to become one of the "Big Three" among his own peers not unlike Nejire among the third-years.
By the time Izuku's group met Chiyo, Nejire had asked no less then five questions from each of the five first-year students. It was also apparent that she was especially interested in Izuku as she asked him the most questions.
Yes, Chiyo wasted no time in berating Izuku for injuring himself even though she understood that he needed to push his limits to pass the test. That said, she was willing to admit that he at least tried to keep his self-inflicted injuries to a minimum and was pleased to know that his self-healed injuries were healed properly.
It should be reminded that Izuku's team was just one of nine separate teams taking part in the practical exam.
--At the front entrance of Training Ground Alpha…--
Momo was facing her team mates as she spoke to then, "Midori-chan, I want you to take the lead to locate the 'civilian'. Also, what can you tell us about Miruko and Gran Torino?"
"They're both fast. Fun to fight with!" replied Wankuro.
A moment of silence passed before Momo sighed and thought, "I shouldn't have expected an exhaustive response from her…"
Shouto frowned and said, "If Wankuro-san finds those two fast, it's safe to say that they are at least as fast as Midoriya-san or Iida-san if not faster."
"Also, given Miruko's quirk, it's safe to say that she probably has a rabbit's keen hearing as well at the very least," said Momo.
"But how's Gran Torino fast?" asked Pony who then added, "He looks as old as Granny Smith!"
"His feet blows air. Makes him fast. He can fly too," explained Wankuro.
"If Wankuro-san thinks that Gran Torino is fast then it's safe to assume that he's anything but helpless," said Momo who then turned her attention to Setsuna and asked, "Tokage-san, can you send pieces of yourself to scout the area to not only locate the 'civilian' but also keep an eye out for the three 'villains'?"
Setsuna grinned as she gave Momo a thumb's up and said, "No problem!"
Momo turned her attention towards Pony and said, "Tsunotori-san, be ready to use your horns to take the 'civilian' out of the training ground as quickly as possible. I doubt Miruko will leave Midori-chan alone."
Pony nodded and asked, "What will you do?"
"Todoroki-kun and I will do what we can to stop Gran Torino and Aizawa-sensei from stopping you," replied Momo who then turned her attention towards Setsuna and asked, "Tokage-san, do you think you can use your pieces to distract Miruko's keen hearing?"
"Not that I don't want to try, but with what?" asked Setsuna.
Momo smiled as she pulled the straps of her leotard aside so that she could create something from between her breasts…
--Meanwhile, at the opposite entrance into Training Ground Alpha…--
Shouta sighed as he glared at Rumi and said, "Miruko, I know that you want to have a real match with Wankuro but please keep the collateral damage to a minimum."
Sorahiko nodded and added, "I still have nightmares of you two demolishing my apartment!"
Rumi, who was practically vibrating with barely-restrained excitement, grinned toothily and replied, "No promises!"
It was at that moment when an announcement was made, "Team 2, practical exam. Ready, go!"
As soon as the announcement was made, Rumi immediately dashed forward while listening to the sounds of movement with her keen ears. She quickly sensed being watched by something and realised that Setsuna had sent pieces of herself floating around the area to keep an eye out for both the 'civilian' and the team of 'villains'. She pressed her fingers onto a modified earpiece and said, "Tokage's using her quirk to keep an eye out for us and locate the 'civilian'."
"We've noticed," replied Shouta who then added, "Continue your pursuit. If Wankuro is able to get her paws on the civilian, our chances of defeating the hero team will very low." In theory, Shouta could try disabling Setsuna's quirk but doing so would cause his eyes to dry out and possibly reveal his current location so he and Sorahiko decided to use stealth instead of speed to catch the students off guard. Granted, there was Wankuro's keen senses of hearing and smell but they were certain that Rumi would reach her first.
"No need to tell me twice!" replied Miruko as she heard movement and immediately went towards the location. Her eyes widened as she realised that she had been tricked by what was basically a few pairs of seemingly empty shoes, including a pair of paw-shaped shoes and a pair of hoof-shaped shoes, which actually had "pieces of Setsuna" inside of them. Rumi then started hearing several more similar footsteps and frowned as she though, "Clever brats!"
Understandably, Rumi immediately spoke to Shouta and Sorahiko over the earpiece, "Tokage's distracting my hearing by copying the sounds of people moving about with pairs of shoes. I'm betting that Yaoyorozu is behind this."
Shouta almost sounded proud as he replied, "Understood. We will let you know our location if we locate them first."
Rumi smirked as she spoke her thoughts aloud, "Now, where should I go next…?" She closed her eyes and placed her hands beside her ears to listen intently for the sounds of movement. She soon noticed the sound of movements with actual weight and thought, "Got you!"
--With Momo and her team mates…--
"I found it!" exclaimed Wankuro who was able to locate the "civilian" by its smell which was rather distinct compared to the smell of most robots.
"Thank goodness you're here!" said the "civilian" who was displaying a grateful expression on the screen which was its face.
Momo nodded and said, "Good work, Midori-chan! Keep a lookout while we secure the 'civilian' before getting out of here."
Suddenly, Setsuna's mouth descended from above and said, "Guys, I hate to say this but Miruko's heading straight for you!"
Momo swore and was trying to think of a plan when Wankuro suddenly dashed off while yelling, "You keep going! I'll fight her!"
Realising that Wankuro was going to face Miruko, and that Wankuro had the best chance of actually taking on the unrestrained pro-heroine, Momo turned her attention towards her other team mates and said, "We need to hurry and rescue the 'civilian'! The other two 'villains' might very well be on their way here even as we speak!"
--Back to Rumi…--
Rumi felt a tingle running down her spine and she grinned as she soon realised the reason why. She stopped running towards her destination and asked, "So, ready to settle our fight, Wan-Chan?"
Wankuro grinned at Rumi and replied eagerly, "You bet I am!"
Rumi pointed to an area behind her with her thumb and said, "Then let's go to the other end of this place. I want to fight you uninterrupted."
The two eager combatants dashed quickly towards another part of the training ground. They soon arrived at their destination and, after a moment of pause to face one another, they immediately started their fight…
--Back to Momo and the rest of Team 2…--
"Holy shit… I'm so glad that Midoriya-chan's keeping Miruko busy," said Setsuna's floating detached mouth who was able to see the fight with her detached left eye. Setsuna could not help but wince was Miruko kicked Wankuro straight into a building which shook due to the powerful impact that broke through multiple layers of walls.
A moment later, the wolf-like noumu-girl suddenly leapt out of the building while running on all fours before leaping towards Rumi with the intention of hitting her with a side-spinning heel kick. However, pro-heroine was able to avoid the kick by swaying backwards before delivering a kick to Wankuro's stomach. Although Wankuro was sent flying upwards due to the powerful kick, she was still grinning in glee. The exchange of blows was so fast that Setsuna could barely see them move. The girl with detachable body parts not help but feel awed and intimidated by Wankuro and Rumi's sheer determination to win.
"While I understand the desire to watch the fight, you should be keeping an eye out for Aizawa-sensei and Gran Torino," said Momo who was speaking to Setsuna through an earpiece.
"I know, but I just can't take my eye off those two," replied Setsuna's mouth who then added, "They're seriously wrecking that entire section of the training ground!" While Setsuna was speaking to Momo, her detached left eye twitched as it saw Rumi barely dodging a spinning overhead punch from Wankuro whose flaming fist caused the ground to crack and break while crimson flames erupted from the cracks. Rumi then tried to kick Wankuro who was somehow able to block the bone-breaking kick with one arm. Wankuro then tried to retaliate by breathing out a torrent of flame at Rumi but the rabbit-like pro-heroine was able to leapt away from the line of fire.
Suddenly, Setsuna's detached right eye saw Sorahiko quickly approaching Momo's group and said, "Gran Torino's heading your way. No sign of Aizawa-sensei but I'm willing to bet that he's sneaking around somewhere. I'll try to keep that old pro-hero distracted for as long as I can."
"Duly noted," replied Momo who then turned her attention towards Shouto and Pony to remind them, "Remember the plan." Both Shouto and Pony nodded at Momo before the three of them continued to escort the "civilian".
As for Setsuna, she was busy focusing her attention on slowing down Sorahiko by pelting him with detached pieces of her body. The old pro-hero swore as he struggled to deal with the flying pieces which kept getting in his way. Due to not only the restricting weights on his limbs but also the sheer number of Setsuna's detached body parts, including the body parts which were no longer on "shoe duty", Sorahiko was unable to do anything other than try his best to avoid getting pummelled into submission by the said body parts. Ideally, he would have located Setsuna's team mates and defeated at least a few of them but he was willing to serve as a distraction so that Setsuna would fail to notice Shouta stealthily making his way to her team mates.
With Setsuna unable to keep both of her eyes off the old pro-hero, she almost failed to notice Shouta making his way to the rest of her team mates. Shouta, who was normally very stealthy, was unable to avoid making soft sounds due to the weights which made his landing heavier and noisier than usual. Grateful for Izuku's inquiries about her quirk and his suggestion that she could use at least one of her ears as a means of "acoustic surveillance", Setsuna's left ear which lacked an earpiece immediately flew towards Shouta's possible location while her mouth notified Momo, "Heads up. I heard something moving towards your location. I'll try to track him with my left ear but I can't keep my eyes off Gran Torino so you'll have to keep an eye out for him yourself."
"Understood. Keep up the good work," replied Momo as she, Shouto and Pony continued to escort the "civilian" out of the training ground.
--Meanwhile, at an undeniably demolished section of Training Ground Alpha…--
Both Rumi and Wankuro were having the time of their life. Their eyes burned with the shared desire to defeat their respective opponent as they wore borderline-savage grins on their faces. Wankuro's bones had been fractured if not broken a number of times but her desire to win and her ability to recover from her own injuries allowed her to keep on fighting. As for Rumi, she was barely able to avoid fracturing and breaking her own bones due to years of experience as a pro-hero who specialised in fighting opponents. Although Wankuro was clearly holding back her claws, Miruko was also holding back her most dangerous moves which were meant for killing opponents as a last resort so neither were complaining about their respective opponent holding back.
Rumi, who clearly had bruises and even burn marks on her body, including the bruise on her right cheek which had been punched by Wankuro, spat out some blood from her mouth before she asked the dog-like noumu-girl, "So, had enough yet?"
Wankuro, whose injuries would have been more obvious if she had lacked her durability and ability to recover at an accelerated rate, grinned at Rumi and said, "Not yet!"
"Good, because I can do this all day!" yelled Rumi before she suddenly leapt towards Wankuro with the intention of hitting her with a flying kick. Wankuro barely avoided the kick from Rumi's left leg by tilting her head to the left before attempting to punch Rumi with her flaming right fist. However, just before Wankuro's fist could hit Rumi's face, the pro-heroine suddenly twisted her upper body to avoid the punch. She then delivered a vicious kick to the lower-right side of Wankuro's ribs. Wankuro gritted her teeth as she withstood the pain of having her ribs fractured and counter-attacked by delivering a left hook. Rumi was barely able to block the blow with her arms. However, the pro-heroine's arms were fractured by the blow thus rendering them useless.
In spite of her fractured arms, Rumi was still determined to fight as she backed away from Wankuro and yelled, "I'm not done yet! I still have my legs!"
Wankuro grinned in spite of her still-healing ribs and yelled back, "I'm not done either!" She then charged towards Rumi while crimson flames erupted from both of her paw-like hands. Rumi grinned in returned as she prepared to deliver one of her special moves. In spite of her bravado, she knew that she could not last much longer against Wankuro who was clearly able to outlast her in a battle of endurance. Given Wankuro's nature as part-wolf and the fact that she was originally designed to kill All Might, Rumi knew better than to resent the girl for being such a tough opponent. Besides, where was the fun in having nothing but easy matches?
Just as Wankuro was about to hit Rumi, the pro-heroine suddenly delivered a vertical kick with all her might while maintaining her centre of balance and yelled, "Luna Rise!"
Instead of trying to avoid the attack or block it, Wankuro accelerated further to the point of injuring herself as she yelled in return, "Hungry Wolf!"
Rumi's kick landed right below Wankuro's ribs as the pro-heroine tried to send Wankuro flying. However, Wankuro was able to retaliate by punching Rumi in the face with a flaming fist. While Wankuro was sent flying with internal injuries, both from Rumi's kick and sheer overexertion, Rumi was nearly knocked out by the punch which would have done more damage had it connected fully.
After landing onto the ground, Wankuro groaned in pain, "That hurts…"
Rumi resisted the urge to snicker due to her injured face as she replied, "That's the idea."
"So, who won?" asked Wankuro.
Rumi was about so reply when the loudspeakers around the training ground announced, "Team 2 has passed!" As for how the team has passed, it involved Momo and Shouto working together to keep Shouta at bay with an " excessively liberal" use of pre-made stun grenades and tear gas grenades while Pony rode on her detached horns to fly away with the "civilian". In fact, Shouta was so distracted by the grenades that Shouto was able to encase him inside a dome of ice, thus effectively disabling him as a result. As for Setsuna, she was had been busy keeping Sorahiko at bay the whole time as she did not want to risk letting the old pro-hero catch up with Pony.
After the announcement was made, Rumi asked, "You're planning to call that your win?"
"Nah. Team win, not duel win," replied Wankuro.
"Good, because I'm calling this one a draw," said Rumi.
"Sounds good," agreed Wankuro.
A moment of silence passed before Wankuro asked worriedly, "Recovery Girl's angry?"
Rumi grimaced in spite of her injured face as she groaned, "I'm pretty sure she is…"
It did not take long for Momo, Shouto, Pony, Setsuna, Shouta and Sorahiko to find Wankuro and Rumi and immediately bring them to Recovery Girl for treatment. Indeed, the old pro-heroine was very displeased with Wankuro and Rumi and wasted no time in lecturing them after healing their injuries.
It should be reminded that a total of nine teams were taking part in the exams and only two of the nine had been described so far.
--At a destroyed section of Training Ground Beta…--
Katsuki was glaring hatefully at Mirio, who was frowning disapprovingly at him, before he charged at him while yelling, "Die!"
--End Chapter--
Author's Notes:
This chapter, together with the next one or two chapters, will cover the End Term Exam arc of the story. Needless to say, I will cover at least a few more teams in detail.
Since the training grounds of U.A. High School follow the Greek Alphabetical order, I assume that the school has a total of 24 training grounds from Alpha to Omega. Anyway, besides the canon training grounds (Beta, Gamma and Omega) the non-canon training grounds are as follows:
Training Ground Alpha: Suburban Town Zone
Training Ground Delta: Construction Site Zone
Training Ground Epsilon: Building Interior Zone
Training Ground Zeta: Rocky Zone
Training Ground Kappa: Marshland Zone
Training Ground Lambda: Maze Zone
Also, I tried to do a 'Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple' reference with Rumi by having her do her own version of Kenichi's Korui Nuki.
I sincerely hope that the matches for Team 1 and Team 2 were satisfactory.
I may consider switching my focus over to 'Izuku's Harem Academia' and 'Izuku's Noumu Life' after completing this arc instead of doing the I-Island arc but we will see.
Until next time, go beyond, plus ultra!
