As soon as Bakugo saw he would be fighting his rival/best friend he felt a rush of adrenaline run through his entire body, along with a sense of dread. Why? Because out of the 125 times he's fought that prick he's only ever won twice. Both times was by him having to fight dirty and even then, he barely won. Which is why the blond knows if he's going to have any semblance of a chance of winning with Mr. ice prick on his side playing dirty is gonna be their tactic again this time around.
"Listen here Zuko, whether you want to admit it or not, we have some strong opponents coming after us" Bakugo all but growled.
Todoroki merely glanced at the blond before beginning to walk off, this did not bode well with Bakugo as he used his explosions to jump in front of him.
"Listen prick! I've known Izuku my entire life and while he is a lazy bastard, he is a STRONG lazy bastard. He will trap you in a box as soon as he sees you with his fucking stupid mime quirk and then shrink that box until you are completely crushed. Ponytail, he doesn't even need her" Bakugo shrugged, "but I'm sure he's gonna be nice and allow her to assist him by asking for like some duct tape or shit like that. Point is we're out of our league if we don't WORK TOGETHER!" he finished yelling.
By the end of the blonds rant it seemed as though his words had gotten through to the ice user, that is until his eyes had hardened, and he pushed Bakugo out of the way and kept walking towards the exit.
"You may be weak enough to lose to that bushy haired boy, but I will not. Just give me five minutes and I will take down both Midoriya and Yaoyorozu."
Bakugo merely tossed his arms in the air in anger before deciding to concoct a plan that would possibly help him get through the fifteen-minute mark as well as beating the damn mime.
With Izuku and Yaoyorozu
"Ahem, Midoriya may I inquire as to what you plan on having us doing?" Momo asked, as they continued walking towards their testing building.
Izuku looked to the heiress before blushing and hurriedly looking away. However, since he knew if they were to ever become future partners on the field, he would have to come face to face with her costume again, so steeling his resolve he looked to her again but this time kept to her face.
In the back of his mind he told himself he should have been doing that in the first place but no need to sweat the little things.
Anyways as Izuku thought about the heiress's words he shot her a thumbs up before pointing towards the top of the building, garnering a curious look from her.
"You want us to go to the top of the roof? While I can understand the logic behind it, why not go straight in, by doing that we could search each floor bottom to top."
Izuku shook his head with arms in an X formation. Then counted down to zero with his fingers while pointing at the front door which just frosted up.
"Oh wow, Todoroki already tried to freeze us using his ice and you figured he would do that which is why you want us to go to the top floor because since Todoroki came down here to stop us that would mean they most likely have the bomb on the top floor! And if Todoroki is down here then that means Bakugo is left alone up there! Exactly deduction skills Midoriya!"
All Might sweat dropped at his two students before smiling. Yaoyorozu would learn to understand Midoriya so fast.
"Amazing Yaoyorozu was able to make a connection with Midoriya and understand the boy in just under two minutes. Yaoyorozu truly deserves her recommendation. "Nezu says.
"Gah where did you come from Nezu!"
"Well I did say I was going to keep an eye out for Midoriya, did I not?" the rodent, bear thing chuckles.
The rest of the class hearing this shiver at the implications.
Izuku shot her a thumbs up before stepping forward gesturing the same to the girl. Skeptical at what was happening but still trusting of the boy who kept her from being frozen she followed him, however just not without question.
"Midoriya, how are we getting to the top of the building if not by stairs? Would you like me to create some grappling-what in the!"
Before Momo could finish her thought her and Izuku were going straight up the side of the building in what seemed like an...
"Midoriya, are we in some type of self-constructed elevator made from your quirk?"
Izuku looked at his classmate impressed; most people wouldn't have made such an elaborate guess when first experiencing his quirk.
A sign pulled out of nowhere proved Momo right.
"Yes!"
"Amazing. Your quirk seems limitless…well as much as I would like to study your quirk further, we're at the top of the building." She said, after hearing a ding. Wait did his quirk just-
Izuku just looked to her before winking and gesturing for her to follow him. If he knew Bakugo the boy would want to fight him upfront to show how strong he's gotten. Whilst Todoroki was somewhat of a wild card.
Getting a blank sign out Izuku requested the heiress create a flame thrower. Surprisingly she asked no questions as it seems she knew who it was for. Then before she could say anything Izuku handed her something, she really couldn't say what it was since it was invisible. After unraveling the invisible object, she deduced it was rope.
After wrapping it back up, she put it on her belt not even questioning how he was able to give objects made from his quirk away.
"What even is your quirk Midoriya?" she sighed.
Izuku shrugged at the girl before walking ahead. Momo didn't even try to stop him for answers rather just followed his lead.
They had gone through four rooms before finally entering the one they wanted. Waiting for them there was an angered Bakugo with no sign of the bomb anywhere. At this sight Izuku pulled out an arrow pointing backwards to the door indicating he wanted Momo to leave and go search the other rooms.
With a nod she ran out along with her flame thrower and the rope Izuku had gifted her in search of the bomb, her hopes of not running into Todoroki dashed when after searching the fifth floor she found him standing at the far corner.
"Sorry but I can't allow someone with face paint and a very revealing outfit beat me."
Not speaking another word Todoroki let out a rush of ice intent on knocking Momo out. However, what he did not expect was her to be using such a high-powered flame thrower that managed to throw him back.
"Troublesome, but I can cool you down." Todoroki mumbled.
Another wave of ice was sent towards Momo but again her high-powered flame thrower melted it like it was nothing, thankfully. Although she was happy Izuku's idea worked, even she was unsure of when it would run out of power.
"How!?"
From the way Todoroki was looking troubled Momo could tell something was wrong. His breathing was heavy, and his side seemed to be frosting.
"Of course, even he can get tired from quirk overuse' Momo thought.
Taking advantage of this weakness she made a flashbang and tossed it at the boy successfully blinding him.
"Ahh my eyes!"
After quickly blinding the ice user, she quickly tossed Izukus' rope at the boy successfully capturing him. However, upon not hearing All Might's voice to state Todoroki's capture she realized she had forgotten to put him in actual capture tape. After securing the actual tape on and hearing All Might's voice over the intercom she smiled waiting for Izuku finish off Bakugo.
"TODORKI HAS BEEN CAPTURED!"
"Did...did Yaomomo really just capture Todoroki with an invisible rope and a flame thrower?" Jiro asked.
"HELL, YEAH SHE DID! AND IT WAS DEKU THE GREAT'S ROPE!" Kirishima yelled, high fiving Mina who was just excited.
"Unorthodox, yet effective. I like it All Might." Nezu said smiling.
"Yeah, you would." All might sighed.
"Let's do this nerd!"
"And so, the battle between fated rivals began."
"Nerd lay off the fucking signs, where are you even getting them?"
"?"
"What do you mean you don't know? You're the one pulling them out of your ass!"
"!"
"Okay enough, I'm coming for your dumb mime ass!" Bakugo yelled, soaring across the room thanks to his explosions.
Deciding to take the fight serious Izuku got in his Vegeta stance to activate One for All. Black and white lightning began to dance around him, his hair flying up as if he were an actual Saiyan.
"Nerd I don't know when you developed this super move, but it won't stop me from killing you!"
"Really All Might already?" Nezu mumbled. "How?"
"He thought of himself as Vegeta Super Saiyan mode" All Might chuckled.
Nezu stayed quiet for a few moments before he began to laugh, slowly turning into a cackle. "Oh, this is going to be a fun year."
The class behind them began to become even more scared of their principal.
"Oh, is Bakugo serious about killing Midoriya?" Nezu asked worried for the well being of his most interesting student.
"No, they're just idiots." All Might, shrugged.
Izuku chuckled as he enhanced the wall he mimed, making it practically indestructible. Watching his rival slam into right before his eyes was almost enough to make Izuku laugh aloud but of course he didn't, he merely mimed it.
"Gaaaah damn mime, I think your wall broke my nose!"
Izuku looked offended that Bakugo would say such a thing much to Bakugos ire. ": ( "
"Don't give me that look, you broke my nose!" Bakugo yells, angry. By now his explosions had hit lethal if hit by them. Well they would be lethal for Izuku if Bakugo could even touch him.
"Alright then," Bakugo grins menacingly blood running down his face, "Gonna play dirty? That it nerd, Well guess what? I can play dirty!" the aggravated blond yells.
"Should we stop this All might, sir?" Sero says, the menacing looks on his classmates' eyes mixed with his bloody face creeping him out.
"Nah, it's just getting to the good part" All Might says eating popcorn.
Izuku merely returns his yell with a smirk, knowing all too well that in the end Bakugo will lose. It's this exact thought that has him taking a rope and preparing it to toss at the blond to capture him like he usually does.
Tossing the rope at Bakugo he smiles at the boy waiting for it to make contact, only for his eyes to widen in surprise when Bakugo somehow dodges the invisible rope.
"Yeah dipshit I've endured, adapted, and learned from our past! You can't get me with that same trick again!"
Izuku stares at Bakugo in awe, only one thought running through his mind, "HE DODGED INVISIBLE FUCKING ROPE!", before the other one shouts at him shooting explosions at him. Of course it is exactly as the last time and Izuku deflects it with a wall he mimed.
"Just gonna keep miming walls and boxes to keep me away huh, guess it's time for my ultimate move!" Bakugo shouts, eyes gone feral.
Izuku begins to eye his friend a bit warily, wondering what the boy could mean by that. His heart stopping when he sees his friend holding a picture only meant for Kendo's eyes.
"No"
"Oh yes. You see you may have thought when you took this picture of yourself in your All Might boxers trying to flex while still wearing your Mime face paint that no one was looking but as it turns out your mom caught you, AND found what you were doing so funny that she couldn't help but take a pic to show to my mom who in turn showed me!" Bakugo cackled.
Slowly Izuku fell to his knees, the embarrassment of what he had done for his girlfriend getting around to others weakened his resolve to fight. He was too worried that Bakugo might show it to his classmates and ruin his reputation as Deku the Mime.
"!"
"That's what does him in" All Might dead pans.
"Oh my, I am loving your class more and more, All Might." Nezu laughs.
"All Might why is Bakugo showing Izuku a piece of paper and laughing like a madman while Izuku slowly falls to the ground?" Kaminari asks. As it turns out the camera was turned at just the right angle for the class to miss what exactly Bakugo seems to be holding in his hand.
"Well Kaminari sometimes when fighting a villain, you'll find they use underhanded methods to defeat you, and right now is proof of that."
"Finally, I win!" Bakugo cries before shoving an explosive hand at his friend's face blowing him to the other side of the wall.
Silently screaming Izuku falls flat on his face too weak to get up, no hope of winning against Bakugo while he has that picture.
"Did Deku just really get slammed into that wall by Bakugos explosion and still mime a scream?" Mina asks.
"Yes, young Ashido, yes he did." All Might sighs.
"Ho-how?"
"I don't know, young Ashido." All Might all but sighs again.
After Momo finished her fight with Todoroki she figured there was no reason to stay with the ice user and went back to help her partner who she figured already captured Bakugo. Little did she know her arrival would be the key to winning the battle.
As she headed up towards the room where she last saw Bakugo and Midoriya she nearly tripped over her own feet at hearing the words of her classmate from outside the room. She held back her laughter at hearing about Midoriya sending such a lude picture to his girlfriend, knowing that at this moment the element of surprise would prove who was victorious this round.
Izuku still laid on the floor powerless against Bakugo who was still monologuing like a true villain. This day felt momentous and he couldn't help but brag a bit.
"I'm a fucking villain, I did what I needed to win" he grinned walking up to the defenseless nerd. Preparing to tie up the nerd, feeling a sense of victory at getting another win over Deku even if his methods were a bit underhanded.
"And I am a hero who will not let you hurt my partner!" Momo yelled, figuring right then was the perfect time to show herself.
Never let it be said Momo Yaoyorozu did not know how to get into character.
Throwing a smoke bomb in the room to distract Bakugo she ran towards Midoriya helping him up and snapping out of his stupor.
"Midoriya, snap out of it, we still need to capture Bakugo so we can find the bomb to win the assignment.
"Da fuck? You telling me Mr. freeze couldn't even take you down?!" he growled, trying to wave away the smoke. "Grrr, told that extra he was gonna fail!"
"Ms. Yaoyorozu is quite the actress" Nezu smiled.
"What a heroic entrance!" All Might shouted.
Seeing that his partner had found him and helped him up Izuku took the initiative to at least meet her halfway and forget about the embarrassing picture Bakugo currently held over him.
Shooting a thumbs up to Yaoyorozu, Izuku unravels his trusty rope waiting for the perfect moment to throw it at Bakugo. That moment arises when the smoke clears and Bakugo shoots towards the mime again ignoring the warning bells in his head that are telling him the two heroes not moving away from him is a trap.
As it turns out the angry blond proves correct as he ends up slamming into one of Deku's walls falling flat on his back disoriented. Slowly trying to get his wits back together in time to take down the nerd and his partner he feels tape wrapping around him and his good friend claustrophobia start to hit him.
"Fucker trapped me in a box" he sighed.
"BAKUGO HAS BEEN CAPTURED THE HEROS WIN!"
"GRRR YOU WIN THIS TYPE YOU MIME BASTARD BUT NEXT TIME I SWEAR!" Bakugo all but growls after he finally gets over being confined in the small box.
Izuku smiles back at the blond before sticking his tongue out. Immediately sucking it back in when he remembers the picture his friend has.
"!"
"Oh, you just remembered, did you? Yeah don't worry nerd I'll be saving that pic for a rainy day. HAHAHAHA!"
"Alright then, now that we have our two teams here why don't we decide who the MVP for this round is." All Might announces.
Looking around he sees no one raising their hand but the only person who can't technically speak.
Of all people, seriously?
He really didn't want to choose him, even if the little nerd was his protégé but given he was the only one holding his hand up and was jumping up and down trying to grab his attention, All Might figures he had no choice.
"Nerd settle the fuck down you're the only one holding your hand up he's gonna choose you for Christ sake!" Bakugo shouted trying to hold Midoriya down but failing horribly as the boy trapped him in a box.
"You asshole let me out of here! I'm gonna kill you, you little prick!" Pounding on the box, Bakugo eventually gave up as he began to run out of breath. "Fuck...you, bastard." Slinking to the floor in the box tiredly.
All Might and Nezu stared at each other before deciding to move on. "Okay then, well since it seems like the only one who wants to "speak" is Midoriya. The floor is yours."
Midoriya bowed to them before gesturing to the class.
The class watched closely as he pointed to Yaoyorozu, raising up one finger. The girl smiled at his compliment while others looked on confused. Then proceeded to point to Todoroki before jabbing his fists out, shooting the girl a thumbs up and bowing to her in thanks for her help with Bakugo.
"Thank you Midoriya, but you give me too much credit." Yaoyorozu says bashful of the compliments from the mime.
"I'm sorry, how the hell did you just understand a few hand gestures?" Jiro asked. "All I got from that was he thinks your number one, and something about Todoroki getting his ass beat I guess?"
The others in class mumbled their agreement, also not sure of what the mime boy had said.
"Actually, if we're gonna be more specific, Midoriya named Yaoyorozu as MVP, then he said she did a great job taking down Todoroki as well as helping him take out Bakubro and he's thankful he had her as a partner" Kirishima said.
Mina and Tsuyu nodding their head in agreement. "Yeah sounds about right."
"Nicely said Midoriya, and just what I was thinking!" All might bellowed.
"Indeed. Yaoyorozu did a wonderful job taking out Todoroki and even sneaking back to help her partner. While filling the role of hero quite well. Overall job well done!" Nezu added.
Yaoyorozu continued to blush in thanks to their compliments.
"Now tell me what you could have done better" All Might said.
This time Iida raised his hand intent to contribute.
"Yes Iida."
"Ahem, well as good as Midoriya was I believe that he needs to work on not being tricked by whatever underhanded methods Bakugo was able to pull on him. It seems like once Bakugo pulled that paper out he was down for the count and was of no more help of his partner, if she had needed any help."
Midoriya sat in the corner of the room while Yaoyorozu consoled him on what she considered a job well done.
"No, Iida was a bit too harsh on his assessment, I think you did wonderfully Izuku. Really!"
"?"
"No, not at all we just need to work on your skills for being blackmailed. But otherwise you were a big help."
"Nice job Iida you made the mime sad." Kirishima scolded.
"Bu-what! I was just doing as All Might said and critiquing the group!"
"Were you Iida, or were you just still mad at Midoriya for making you do a make up exam, so you thought to overly critique his skills this round?" Nezu said.
"THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL!"
"Let's move on from Iida's poorly done critique and see how everyone else did, Principal Nezu perhaps?"
"Ah yes. Well I shall commend Yaoyorozu for being able to communicate with her mute partner in just a matter of seconds that takes truly compatibility. Then to work together at the end like that was flawless."
The two partners being talked about couldn't help but blush, one because she wasn't used to these many compliments, while the other was letting it go to his head inflating his already big ego.
"As for the other two. Tsk. Todoroki I am disappointed you did not listen to Bakugo when he recommended teamwork. As he has the most knowledge on one of the heroes you were facing, you think you would have taken his words to heart and tried to go against him together rather than take out both alone since you consider them too weak for you. If I recall, he as well as Miss Yaoyorozu beat you in Aizawa's assessment." Nezu pointed out disappointed.
Todoroki grit his teeth, the fact he was beat was inconceivable. "I will beat them without my old man's power."
"And Bakugo good try, you were close to beating Midoriya, but you were too much like a villain. And I simply mean you continued to monologue when you should've gone in for the kill and taken Midoriya out before Yaoyorozu showed up to help him out. By then you had already lost." Nezu concluded.
Bakugo growling at the mouse, bear while still stuck in his box. "Whatever."
The rest of the class just looked at the four students who had fought and were impressed and scared. If this is what they were up against then they had a lot of work to do to catch up.
"Well I'll be off All Might; it was quite fun watching your class." Nezu says walking off.
"Wait principal Nezu, aren't you going to watch our fights?" Hagakure asks.
"Hmm, oh no I mean no offense, but none of you interest me as much as Izuku Midoriya does."
"What?!" they all yelled.
"Well Good day and have fun."
"We're basically extras!" the class yelled, insulted at their principals' words.
"Well I coulda told you that" Bakugo scoffed.
Class 1-B
"Do you really have a mime fetish?" a green haired girl, Setsuna if she remembers correctly, asks smiling.
"I'm gonna kill those two" Kendo sighs.
"I'm just asking because I follow Deku The Great and saw that there was a video of the blond boy saying how you have a mime fetish and that's how Deku reeled you in." she says.
"I-I don't have a mime fetish" Kendo weakly defends, face bright red from the girl reciting the exact content of that wretched video which to this day still haunts her.
"Whoa, Pres has a mime fetish, and with Deku The Great?!" TetsuTetsu yells.
"I do not! And when the hell did you make me president?"
"When we found out how fearless you are admitting to the whole world your mime fetish" Yui says stoically.
"But I don't" falling to the ground Kendo tries to defend her choice in boyfriends, "I don't have a mime fetish, he's just really nice, and cute, and funny, and yeah I do like the mime make up but that's not relevant to why I'm dating him!"
"Pfft, Kendo you totally just admitted to us that you have a thing for Deku's face paint." Setsuna laughs.
"No..not here, I was supposed to start fresh", Kendo whispered weakly.
"Aw, come on babe did you really think even here I wouldn't embarrass you?" Midoriya asks seemingly appearing out of nowhere, hugging the girl from behind.
Jumping out of his arms, Kendo smacks the boys head. "Damn it Izuku I thought I told you to behave!"
"But I am!" the boy pouts. "I just was passing by when I saw you an was like hey my hot girlfriend let's go greet her!"
"One, you did the total opposite of what you just said you wanted to do. And two, sneaking up on me and admitting to embarrassing me isn't behaving." She deadpanned. "Besides why aren't you in class?"
Izuku began to sweat at his girlfriends' question, although their battle training was over, and they had all finished changing All Might had told them to meet back at class since Aizawa had some parting words.
"Oh well, ya know, we got let out-cough-, so-cough- and then I just figured -ahem- and that's how I ended up here!"
"Izuku you can't be serious." Kendo deadpanned.
The entirety of 1-B looked at the greenette and his girlfriend, most in disbelief at his crappy excuse of how he ended up in their class.
"He literally ditched class, didn't he?" Awase deadpanned.
"Indeed, he is a sinner that will be purged to the greatest depths of hell." Ibara recited a light shining upon her.
"Well damn Shiozaki, he ditched class, not murder your mother." Kamakiri says.
"IZUKU MIDORIYA!" Aizawa yelled as he stormed into 1-B.
"Ah, well babe, it seems our wonderful time together must be cut short" Izuku says before blowing a kiss to his girlfriend and jumping out their class window.
"Come here!" the pro yells tossing his capture gear at the boy only for it to get deflected by an invisible wall left behind.
"Catch me if you can!" Izuku yells, his laughter echoing even after he disappears outside, leaving behind an entire class speechless and one girlfriend pissed.
"That kid will be the death of me." Aizawa growls, before turning to Kendo. "You, why couldn't you be in my class."
"I, uh, I'm not sure sir. I thought teachers chose students."
Aizawa's eye twitched at her statement. "Whatever, I have an idiot to catch."
"How was school today honey, I'm surprised you didn't walk home with Kendo."
"Oh well you know we like our space sometimes and- "
"You misbehaved and now you're scared to see her, aren't you?"
"I'm so scared mom" Izuku says hugging his mother apron.
"Oh gosh, you are just like your father, my little wimp" Inko laughs.
