Chapter 42: Prep
A/N: This was not in my planned list of events but it came to mind and would not leave, so here ya go
"GOOD MORNING MY DEAR STUDENTS!" All Might laughed as he walked into homeroom.
"All Might! Does that mean Aizawa-sensei finally went home to rest?" Kirishima asked.
All Might nodded, "Indeed he did. Now, get ready and meet me outside at the field so that we can stretch and train!"
The class quickly went to the field and warmed up. All Might appeared soon after, "Good, good, looks like we're all ready!"
"Sensei, what shall we be doing today?" Iida asked.
All Might gave a thoughtful look, "I did not really have anything planned since this was on such short notice. I guess I could help all of you individually with your quirks,"
"Or we could all team up against you!" Watanabe gave a devilish grin.
All Might twitched slightly in annoyance, "That would be really dangerous for you guys,"
"But sensei, you can just hold back against us. And since we can't control our quirks fully yet, this would be perfect!" Momo argued.
Iida nodded along, "It would be a splendid opportunity to fight against a pro to see what we need to learn,"
All Might sighed, resignedly. He Couldn't refuse the request since the entire class wanted to fight him, "Very well. Even though I'm gonna hold back, but you will have to try your hardest,"
"Don't worry sensei. Why don't you start the countdown?" Hitoshi asked.
All Might agreed, "3, 2, 1, START!"
Immediately, All Might's face turned blank. Hitoshi chuckled as he released the brainwashing, "Looks like we won round 1," he grinned cheekily.
All Might groaned, "Well played. I assume that's why you asked me to start the countdown,"
Hitoshi nodded proudly.
"New rule, Hitoshi can't use his quirk in combat exercises," Kaminari announced.
"Hey! That's not fair," Hitoshi yelled back.
"You need to learn how to fight instead of over-relying on your quirk," Izuku explained.
"Why fight when you can end it beforehand,"
"Well what if It's someone who's mute, or with great patience? What if they break out of your brainwashing? Or what if there are many enemies? What are you gonna do then?"
"Fine," Hitoshj agreed, "Let's start again,"
All Might nodded and started the countdown again, "3, 2, 1, START!"
Immediately, Izuku flicked his finger with 100% of One For All. Yagi's eyes widened. He barely dodged the attack as he mentally facepalmed. He had somehow forgotten that Izukubhad the same power as him now. Though he couldn't fully utilize it, it would still be dangerous.
All Might did not have any more time to think as he had to dodge an incoming glacier, courtesy of Shouto. But, he was immediately bombarded by Bakugou and jumped back... Straight into Kaminari. He groaned as he was electrocuted but he fought through and grabbed Kaminari before sending him flying.
All Might chuckled to himself. He had capped his power to 20% to give them a chance but it seemed like he would have to use more of his power.
Shouji and Ojiro tried to go for a pincer attack but it was nothing against All Might's brute force. They were both quickly dispatched. Kirishima used his hardening and rushed at All Might with a confident smirk, clearly thinking he was safe because of his quirk but All Might grinned as he plucked him off of the ground and threw him away, "There are other ways to get around your quirk, young Kirishima,"
All Might's well-trained instincts caused him to duck down, sending Izuku flying over him. Sato had also joined in and actually gotten in a hit which All Might shrugged off and punched back.
Yagi stepped back for a quick breath. He held his sore arm, Sato's punch was surprisingly strong.
Iida sped up just then. All Might prepared to intercept him but turned momentarily as something hit him in the head. He gaped in surprise seeing squirrels throwing nuts at him. It was a momentary piece of distraction but enough for Iida to crash into his feet.
"I got you!" Iida yelled proudly but his celebration was immature. All Might simply caught him by the head as he fell and slammed him into the ground, using the momentum to backflipped up and above Iida, to land safely.
Yagi grunted as a cannonball hit him in the chest. He had just enough time to deflect it off of his injury but still bore the blunt of the explosion.
All Might was surprised to see Hitoshi rushing at him of all people. Knowing Shinsou didn't have proper combat experience, All Might moved to quickly get rid of him. Hitoshi groaned as he was flung to the ground, gently, "Shouldn't have paid attention to me sensei," he grinned.
It took a moment for Yagi to register what Hitoshi said. By then he was drilled in the back with a dual combo of explosions and lightning strikes.
Yagi yelped in pain and was sent flying forward where Shouto had built an ice glacier to encase All Might.
Yagi had no choice but to use a 100% smash to destroy the obstacle. Yagi rubbed the sweat off his face, his back singeing.
Aoyama offered no respite as he emitted a laser at him. All Might was forced back once again but by now he had understood their course of plan. Distract and attack from the back.
Sure enough, All Might turned to face Izuku. All Might and Izuku clashed. Izuku didn't dare to use another 100% flick in fear of injuring himself before the sports festival. Unfortunately for him, All Might did not have such an issue and easily broke through Izuku's attack and slammed him to the ground.
Suddenly, Yagi felt as if he was hit by a truck. He looked beside and cursed. Tokoyami had joined the attack. That would cause problems since Dark Shadow was the perfect balance between offense and defense.
Yagi heard chains behind him and quickly jumped to the side. He was right as Watanabe appeared behind him. All Might knew he wouldn't have to worry too much about Watanabe but he hesitated seeing him grasping on a thin wire. Watanabe pulled the wire and a flurry of knives shot at All Might who had no problem sidestepping it. But All Might was suddenly knocked to the ground.
He looked up to see several rocks, "Uraraka," his eyes widened. He quickly regained his composure and let out a smash breaking up all of the rocks.
He looked to the side.
"Che! I thought we got him good!" Bakugou yelled.
All Might applauded them, "That was a good plan. I suppose that's why you didn't attack me head in. You guys were busy making boulders,"
Uraraka nodded, "I really thought we got you," she said sheepishly.
All Might froze as he was suddenly wrapped in bandages, "It's not wise to gossip in a fight, right sensei?" Sero grinned, thinking he had captured All Might.
Yagi simply smirked and rotated the other way on the ground. The tape flung open and Sero was sent flying. Again All Might was struck from something above. He looked up and stared horrified. Above was a bubble of acid rain which was let go immediately. Smashing it would not blow it away this time since it was in liquid form. Yagi dodged but was still hit in several places forming burnt patches of skin.
In his rush to get away, he fell right in front of Jiro's speaker. He clutched his ears as the speakers let out a burst out of sound. Tokoyami used his frozen position to use Dark Shadow as a bat and hit him, flinging him away.
All Might was heading straight to Watanabe who was in a martial arts stance. He got ready to put Watanabe down and use him as a propel but he fell sideways as something hit him in his leg, "Forgot about me, didn't you sensei?" A voice came out of nowhere.
"Shouldn't have talked," All Might shook his head using the voice to pinpoint Hagakure's location and threw her away. But in the midst of this, he forgot about Watanabe. He tried to twist to face him assuming he would go for his head to knock him out but Watanabe instead ducked slightly and raised the hilt of his sword, jabbing it at Yagi's underarm.
Yagi hissed in pain but kicked away Watanabe, possibly knocking him out, but he had completed his job.
Yagi could feel the power in his right arm drain away. He couldn't believe he forgot to guard his pressure points against Watanabe.
He looked forward and groaned inwardly. Shouto, Bakugou, Kaminari, and Tokoyami were preparing for an all-out offense with the remaining students getting ready to play a support role.
All Might knew he could handle them but it would be difficult and his time was dwindling. So instead, he smashed the ground. The students yelped as they lost their footing. All Might used his superior speed to grab the remaining students and tie them up with Sero's tape, "That was a good fight, all of you. I assume Momo stayed behind to make the plan,"
"Partly," Momo replied, "It was all Izuku really. He knew he couldn't face off with you in power without breaking his bones. So, he pre-made a plan and told us to follow it whole he went on the offensive with Iida. His theory was seeing two of the strategists out in attack, you wouldn't think we would have something else up our sleeve like the meteor shower and acid rain," Momo proudly explained their elaborate plan.
All Might nodded proudly hearing of his successor's intelligence, "Well, I should take all of you to recovery girl now. You have training with cementoss after lunch again,"
A/N: Not much but like I said would not leave my mind.
Anyways, Whyallmaindumb also requested me to put in the notes that no one has yet found the true extent/potential (?) of Watanabe's quirk and wanted your help to figure it out.
Lastly, I know the fight could be much much better. I forgot so many of the students until I was already mid-way. Apologies for that.
