(Edit: Thank you to 'bp136714' for pointed out that I forgot to add Ren's team. Also, I realized I had Sato with Koda instead of Toru. It's fixed now.)

Time to ramp things up with chapter 16. It's finally time to get to the fights. The one that's starting this chapter was one of my favorites to write to date. Though the one I'm currently working could top it. Quick review reply.

christianlukebustillo: With ships I tend to go with what pairs have the best natural chemistry. In most cases that'll be cannon ships but I have ideas for some interesting ships that I think could work.

Now on to the chapter.


Battle Trial Arc

Chapter 16: Battle Trials Begin

After an eventful first day the second day of school started off slow. They did normal school subjects such as Math, Literature, English, History, Science, and many others. While having classes being taught by pro heroes was new it didn't change anything about the class. However there was one class everyone was looking forward to, Hero Basic Training.

"I am here, coming through the door normally!" All Might declared as he entered in dramatic fashion.

"Holy crap it's All Might! He really is gonna teach us.!" Someone shouted as All Might continued into the room.

"Hey I think that's his silver age costume." Someone else noted.

"It is." Izuku stated.

"So cool!" The person added.

"Alright my students no time to dilly dally. Hero basic training is here to put you through all kinds of special training to mold you into proper heroes." All Might declared. "But wait it won't be just me teaching this class may I introduce…"

"I can introduce myself All Might." Glynda sighed as she entered the room normally.

She went up and stood beside All Might. Many stared at her in confusion trying to figure out who she was. Though a few of the boys were too busy taking in her beautiful features.

"I am Glynda Goodwitch and I'll be teaching Hero Basic Training alongside All Might." She stated. "Today we will be conducting Battle Simulations."

"Aw hell ya." Katsuki expressed with a murderous grin.

"Time to break some legs." Nora declared.

"Nora no!" Ruby shouted.

"Right she is but for that." All Might stated before clicking a button on the remote in his hand.

Suddenly the wall opened up with several numbered cases.

"You'll need your costumes." He finished.

The whole class erupted into cheers of excitement.

"After you get changed head out to Ground Beta where we'll begin." Glynda ordered.

"Understood!" The class replied.


Ground Beta, several minutes later…

All Might and Glynda stood in the streets of the fake city waiting for the students to show up. While they waited All Might went over his notes for the class again.

"Must you do this again?" Glynda question with a sigh.

"Yes, unlike you my teaching experience is non existent." All Might pointed out. "I need to make sure I get this done right."

"I suppose so." Glynda replied.

In that moment several students could be seen coming out towards them.

"Better put them away cause their coming now." Glynda stated.

"Right, let's get to this." All Might expressed as he put away the notes.

One by one, student after student, they entered Ground Beta. Of the group from Remnant, Ren was the first to enter. His hero outfit consisted of a green sleeveless tailcoat with a black turtleneck underneath it. He has red tasseled ropes attached to this which hung over his hips. He wore a pair of white pants with black calf high open-toed sandals. To finish out the outfit he wore a pair of detached sleeves running from pink to black in gradients ending in metal armbands. Similar to his old outfit back home. Looks like he didn't change it around too much. Glynda mentally noted.

Not long after, Nora come out. She wore a white top which had a heart at the top of it with a diagonal line cut through it. Over this she wore a blue bomber jacket with pink stripes along the sleeves. She had on a pink skirt that went up to a pink belt around her waist. Also she wore pink knee high socks under white calf length boots with pink laces. Finally she wore a short detached white sleeve on her left arm. Looks like Miss. Valkyrie stuck to her style like Mr. Ren did. Though her new outfit seems a bit simpler compared to her previous one.

After a few other students came out, Jaune finally joined the others. He wore a black hoodie with pure white gold trimmed armor covering his upper torso. Along with this he wore a shoulder guard and a pair of bracers of the same color. On his hands he wore a pair of black gloves with gold armor covering them. Around his waist was a red sash with a brown belt over top of it. He wore a pair of jeans and had on dark brown boots. We'll… he didn't change much other than add more armor. To be fair without aura that might be a good idea. Also that red sash seems familiar.

The last of the Remnant group to come out was Ruby. She wore a white high-neck décolletage blouse which was under an overbust corset. She had on a black skirt with red tulle underneath. Around her waist was a black belt and around her arms were a pair of brown wristbands. She wore a pair of black thigh-high stockings that went just a little below the hem of her skirt and a pair of black boots. She has on brown straps over her blouse which hold a backpack. To finish out her outfit she had on her signature red cape which was held by a singular clip on her right shoulder in the shape of her emblem. She definitely changed some stuff up but kept a few things the same. All around not bad Ms. Rose.

Glynda continued to watch as more and more students made their way to the training ground. Some of the last two to arrive was a bubbly Ochako and a very red face Izuku. Which, given the girl's skin tight attire, was not surprising. The boy on the other hand wore a slightly loose fitting dark green with black stripes jumpsuit which had a hood. Around his neck was a metal respirator. Around his waist was a red belt. He had on a pair of beige arm bracers that went up to his elbows. He also had on black knee pads that went down to his red shoes. I was afraid he'd take too much after me. Guess someone talked him out of it. All Might thought to himself.

Soon after the remaining students arrived.

"Looking good everyone, now we can begin." All Might announced.

"Excuse me, I noticed this is the same area used in the entrance exam will we be performing cityscape maneuvers." Tenya asked with a raised hand.

"A good question but nope. We're moving ahead to step two, Indoor anti-personnel battle training." All Might declared. "While villain battles are most often seen outside, the most clever and heinous of villains are more likely to work indoors."

"For this exercise you'll be split into teams of two, a hero team and villain team, to face off in battle." Glynda explained.

"So no basic combat training?" A frog like girl asked.

"This is the basic combat training." Glynda pointed out.

"Right now listen up. The villains will be hiding a nuclear weapon in the hideout. The Heroes have to go in and take it." All Might stated.

"To achieve victory, the heroes must either capture the villains or secure the weapon in the time allotted. Conversely the villains must either capture the heroes or protect the weapon until the time is up." Glynda continued.

"How will the teams be formed?" Tenya asked with raised hand.

"I can just blast people away right?" Katsuki asked.

"Your not going to threaten to expel us like Mr. Aizawa right?" Minoru asked nervously.

"Can I break some legs?" Nora asked.

"Nora why?" Ruby whined.

"Cause it's fun." Nora answered.

"It's not my cape fabulous?" A sparkly blond boy asked.

"One, at, a, time." Glynda expressed in annoyance.

"Moving on, the teams will be determined by drawing lots." All Might stated.

"Is that really the best way?" Tenya asked in confusion.

"It makes sense you don't know who you'll end be working with in the field." Izuku pointed out.

"Yes I see, that makes sense. Forgive my interruption." Tenya stated.

"All is forgiven. Now let's get to it!" All Might shouted.

One by one the students went up and claimed their lots. After everyone had done so the teams were decided.

Team A: Izuku Midoriya and Ochako Uraraka

Team B: Shoto Todoroki and Mezo Shoji

Team C: Momo Yaoyorozu and Minoru Mineta

Team D: Katsuki Bakugo and Tenya Iida

Team E: Mina Ashido and Nora Valkyrie

Team F: Koji Koda and Toru Hagakure

Team G: Kyoka Jirou and Denki Kaminari

Team H: Tsuyu Asui and Fumikage Tokoyami

Team I: Itsuka Kendo and Mashirao Ojiro

Team J: Ruby Rose and Eijiro Kirishima

Team K: Jaune Arc and Hanta Sero

Team L: Lie Ren and Yuga Aoyama

"Oh wow we're on the same team Deku. It must fate." Ochako expressed cheerfully.

"Uh… y-y-y-yeah." Izuku replied with a bright red face.

"Righty O then the first up are…" All Might began as reached into two containers, one marked villain and the other marked hero. "These!"

Out of the hero bin he pulled 'A' and out of the villain bin he pulled 'D'. Me and Kacchan!? Izuku thought. Finally I'll get to put you back in your place you shitty Deku. Katsuki mentally declared. Why do I feel this is gonna end badly? Both Glynda and All Might thought.

"The villain team goes in first! The exercise will officially start in five minutes. The rest of us will watch from the CCTV." All Might directed.

Glynda walked up to the two teams.

"Now remember this may be an exercise but it's meant to give you practical experience so don't hold back." Glynda ordered. "That being said we will stop you if you take things too far. Do your best, all of you."


Later in the hideout…

Tenya was busy examining the room and making sure there was nothing loose that Ochako could use against him. Meanwhile Katsuki merely stood off lost in his own thoughts.

"Even if it is an exercise it still pains me to play the villain." Tenya expressed as he went to check on the fake bomb.

He tapped it lightly.

"Hmm… Paper mache?" He muttered to himself.

"Hey four-eyes." Katsuki called.

"My name is Tenya Iida Bakugo. I'd appreciate it if you'd remember it." Tenya returned.

"I'll call you whatever the hell I feel like!" Katsuki snapped back. "Anyways what's the deal with Deku's quirk? That bastard hide it from me during middle school."

Tenya gave him a puzzled look. Huh… why does he want to know? He's seen it in action it's merely a strength enhancement quirk. Though he hasn't seen it at its max. It can't be fear, not with the way he's acting. Perhaps he just wants to know what he's up against.

"From what I know it merely enhances his strength. Though until recently he's had little control over it." Tenya answered.

"What the hell you talking about?! Against that shitty haired kid he seemed to be using it just fine!" Katsuki pointed out.

"Believe or not that was a fluke. At the time he figured out that he'd subconsciously hold himself back if he use it against another person." Iida explained. "Before he could only use it at max power and the result would be severely broken bones. Thanks to that discovery he was eventually able to bring his power down to a safe three percent."

"I see," Katsuki muttered.

Doesn't matter I'm gonna make you pay for lying to me this who time, Deku.


Meanwhile, outside the hideout…

Izuku and Ochako were looking over the blueprints for the building.

"We should memorize these as best we can." Ochako noted.

"Right," Izuku replied.

"Good thing we don't have to worry about expulsion for failure like with Mr. Aizawa." Ochako noted.

"Right," Izuku replied.

"Sooooo… you might want to relax a bit." Ochako expressed to a violently shaking Izuku.

"Right," Izuku replied.

"Your nervous about fighting Bakugo aren't you?" Ochako asked.

"Y-yeah, well… Iida too but especially Kacchan." Izuku answered. "He may be a bully and a jerk, but he's strong, really strong, far stronger than me. But that's why I want to win."

"A fated battle among rivals huh?" Ochako noted.

"I guess you could call it that." Izuku replied.

"So do you have a plan to win by any chance?" Ochako asked.

Izuku smiled lightly.

"You bet." Izuku replied.


Meanwhile, in the CCTV…

The rest of the class along with All Might and Glynda watch as each team made there preparations for the match.

"Man I can't wait to see how this match goes kind of wish I could have fought Midoriya again though." Eijiro expressed. "Or Bakugo, that guy look super manly."

"This should be quite the interesting match. Although, I'm having a hard time seeing how the hero team will win this one." The girl with a large ponytail noted.

"It'll all come down to what Katsuki does." Ruby stated. "If he lets his grudge and anger towards Izuku get the better of him than Izuku will have a good chance of taking the 'W'."

"Don't mind me asking uh…" The other girl began.

"Ruby Rose." Ruby knowingly answered.

"Momo Yaoyorozu," The girl stated. "What makes you so sure of this? It looks too me like their hopelessly outmatched."

Ruby smiled lightly.

"I get the feeling you'll see what I mean when this starts." Ruby answered.

"Alright look sharp everyone and watch closely. You might learn a thing or two." All Might directed as he and Glynda each put in their earpiece.

"Alright my wards commence the operation." All Might ordered.


Later, in the building…

Using Ochako's quirk the two we're able to leap up a few floors and sneak in through one of the windows. Quietly, they stalk through the halls on the lookout for any signs of an attack. A lot of corners he can come from, I have to remain vigilant. If I am right then Kacchan will come to us, or more specifically me, soon. I may have been your punching bag in the past Kacchan but that was the old me. I'm different now I'm ready to show you. Suddenly he caught something out of the corner of his eye. He stopped, looked and saw nothing. He breathed a sigh of relief then Katsuki came around the corner. He's here! He lunged an explosion towards the duo. Acting quickly Izuku tackled Ochako out of the way, just barely getting grazed by the attack. He's targeting me just like I suspected he would.

"Nice dodge Deku." Katsuki complimented.

"Deku," Ochako expressed worriedly.

"I'm fine he just grazed me." Izuku stated. "Just stick to the plan."

"R-right." Ochako replied.

"I doesn't matter what your planning, as long as I just mess you up enough not to be disqualified it won't matter!" Katsuki declared as he wound up a right hook.

He sent it straight towards Izuku. However the green haired boy saw through it and stepped into it. He charged [One for All] into his right arm. Normally my limit is about three percent but I had these bracers designed to enable my arms to handle slightly higher levels of [One for All], same for my legs. Let's see how you handle six percent Kacchan. He slammed his fist into Katsuki's gut. He predicted my move? Katsuki mentally questioned.

"I'm not the same Deku anymore Kacchan." Izuku declared.

He gave Katsuki little time to think as he caught the blond with and empowered uppercut.

"From now on…" Izuku began.

He spun around.

"Deku is the name of a hero!" Izuku declared as he smashed Katsuki with an empowered kick sending him flying.

The blond tumbled across the ground grunting in pain.

"Uraraka go!" Izuku shouted.

"R-right!" Ochako replied.

Despite her worries of letting Izuku face Katsuki on his own, Ochako pressed forward and ran ahead in search of the bomb. Katsuki quickly returned to his feet angrier than every.

"Bakugo! Talk to me, what's the situation?" Tenya questioned.

"Shut up and keep watch four eyes!" Katsuki shouted back. "I've got someone's ass the kick."

Katsuki blasted himself forward. He sent a kick straight towards Izuku's head, which was easily caught. Again? Charging up [One for All] in both his arms, he took Katsuki and slammed him into the wall. Hoping to capitalize on Katsuki being in a dazed state, Izuku went to go on the attack. However Katsuki recovered quickly and was able to counter with an explosion straight Izuku's chest. The green haired boy grunted in pain as he was sent back. Katsuki went back on the assault and sent and another explosion his opponents way. Izuku was quick to roll out of the way and return to an upright position. His breathes were heavy and ragged, fear coursed through his whole being. Despite this he stood tall.

"How the hell do you keep reading my movements? Are you a mind reader as well you shitty liar?" Katsuki growled.

"The notebook." Izuku stated through breathes. "The one you blew up and tossed away. I've analyzed all kinds of heroes who I thought were awesome. And your on that list… Kacchan."

"Your scared out of your mind and even still you stand before me. It pisses me off!" Katsuki shouted.

Even more enraged he charged forward with a right hook. Izuku caught it.

"You always start off with a right hook Kacchan. I've seen it plenty of times." Izuku stated.

He flipped Katsuki over his shoulder and slammed him on the ground.

"I said before I didn't want to compete with you but now I take it back." Izuku declared.

Katsuki blasted Izuku sending the boy back a ways.

"You want to compete with me Deku? Fine! I'll put you in your place where you belong! Beneath me!" Katsuki declared as he blasted forward.


Ruby: Ohhh... I can't wait to see what's happening. Unfortunately, Izuku's a little busy, you can see why.

Katsuki: DEKUUUUUU!

Izuku: KACCHAAAAAN!

Ruby: Anyways luckily I've already got a temporary replacement.

Jaune: Hey everybody. I'll be taking Izuku's spot for a bit.

Ruby: Yep, yep so... now we can get on with the preview.

Jaune: Next time Midoriya and Bakugo continue to duke it out.

Ruby: And things get really crazy. I hope Izuku wins.

Jaune: I'm sure he will.

Ruby: Next time Chapter 17: Deku vs. Kacchan

Jaune: See ya then.
