Coco: Here's another chapter, guys! I also have one more after this, but might wait until later to post it. I don't have time to edit both right now. The chapter after this will be the end of the first season and very slightly going into the second. After that, I'll have to slow down with the chapters since I haven't finished developing a few new OCs I'm adding in season 2. I don't want to get too ahead of myself. Though I've practically gotten the overall design of my new characters like,
1) Hyakujū Imani (Hero Name: The Jungle Hero: Tarzana)
Description: Imani was originally born in Kenya on an animal reserve that her mother grew up on as well. Her mother (Iesha) met her father (Doi) when he visited the Kenya reserve to get ideas on how to make the zoo his father directed better for their animals. They fell in love and had three children together, which consisted of Imani herself, her older sister Ahmya, and younger brother Tyrik. She grew up half her life at the animal reserve where she discovered her quirk before moving to Japan when her grandfather passed away leaving her father as the director of the zoo her family had started to help endangered species. There she fell in love with the idea of being a pro-hero someday, but not one that only helped her fellow man but animals as well.
Quirk: Animal Gene
Description: The quirk allows Imani to transform into different animals at will. However, she has to have first come into contact with the animal before taking its form. Meaning, she has to touch the animal with her hands to learn it's shape before transforming. Transforming into animals also takes up a lot of stamina, so she can only transform for a limited amount of time each day. This time varies depending on many animal transformations she does in a day and how long she stays in each animal's form.
2) Makai Hotaru
Description: Hotaru is the daughter of the supervillain Iblis and the civilian Kaosu. Despite her intimidating appearance and who her father is, Hotaru is rather playful and bubbly. She likes trying to get along with everyone and enjoys making new friends. She wants to be a hero though most of her life the people around her expected her to be a villain (sound like anybody we all know and love? XD). She kept working hard though and managed to get into U.A. She hasn't spoken to her father since his arrest, and doesn't plan to anytime soon. Her main goal is to become a hero and make her mother proud.
Quirk: Hell Spawn (Hero Name: The Demonic Hero: Underworld)
Description: Hoaru's quirk has mutated her body to take on a form that can only be described as demonic. She has deep red skin like her father with even darker red hair. The irises of her eyes are cold while the sclera is pitch black. She also has a long red tail with a triangle tip and she has pointed elf-like ears. Her quick also gives her enhanced strength, agility/speed, and durability. She even has the power to burn things with her touch by turning up her inner body temperature up to inhumanely high temperatures. Her weakness in the cold. If her body temperature (which is higher than normal humans) drops too low, her body starts to go into shock and shut down. It makes it impossible for her to use her quirk and leaves her vulnerable. She can handle cold to a certain degree, but only if she keeps herself warm on the inside. Eating fire helps her maintain the right temperature. She's even fire proof, so jumping into a fire would actually strengthen her quirk.
3) Zenryoku Mari (Hero Name: The Energized Hero: Power Girl)
Description: Mari is a rather cocky individual who truly and utterly believes she'll be the next number 1 hero. She believes in her power and skill with her confidence usually intimidating those around her, or just completely annoying them. She can also be rather blunt while not seeming to notice or either care if she insults someone. Her attitude tends to rub people the wrong way, but even so, Mari does have admirable qualities. She would do anything to protect those around her with her amazing quirk and doesn't hesitate to step up for her classmates—even Class 1-A.
Side Note: Honestly, I based her off of Power Girl (from DC) and Captain Marvel (from Marvels) in her color scheme then her personality is kind of like America from Hetalia XD And her quirk is based off of Sebastian Shaw's mutation from X-Men.
Quirk: Kinetic Energy Absorption
Description: It's the superhuman ability to absorb kinetic energy and to metabolize it to enhance her own physical strength, speed, and stamina. After being repeatedly hit, she can simply touch a target focus her power can cause internal damage to the target, or she can focus the energy into an explosion depending on how much energy she's taken in. Her abilities can be overloaded by too great an influx of power, like being hit with too many super punches. If the energy levels become too great her body can burn out causing burns to appear on her body. If she waits for such a time to happen then releases the power all at once, it could force her into a temporary acoma due to using so much power at once when her body was already being weakened.
4) Masamune Tatsuya (Hero Name: The Blade-Slinging Hero: Rōnin)
Description: Tatsuya is a hard-working young man who grew up in his father's dojo and learned the art of the sword. He was always enthralled with the old stories of samurai. He wanted to be one when he became older, but decided on the hero-track later on. Tatsuya looks out for those weaker than him as he sees it has his responsibility. While Samurai followed their lords every order and wish, Tatsuya will question orders when he thinks absolutely necessary-but only when necessary. Other times he is completely obedient. He doesn't do much socializing outside of school sense he spends so much time with his training and lessons. Though he is slowly opening up as his classmates try to get him to spend more time hanging out.
Quirk: Blade Body (Quirk based off of Mr. 1's Devil Fruit Ability from One Piece)
Description: His body (mostly his limbs) into sharp edges like blades thanks to the iron in his blood. The blades are very sturdy, but their strength depends on how much iron he takes in a day. If the blades are broken, he can make new ones. However, the more he produces the more iron it takes from blood thus it weakens him. He has to take iron pills on a daily bases and more times a day than a normal person.
And these are the new OCs to Class 1-B. I am planning to add in two to three more teachers. One of which will be introduced in chapter 18 as a life coach of sorts for the students. A teacher who will help them pick their "brand" as a hero and help them make the choices that could make or break their future careers.
I also hope to show off some of my OCs' parents/family members who are pro-heroes themselves. So I hope to introduce Warp (Ayumi's dad) and Hachiro's family of heroes like his eldest brothers and his parents, etc.
Anyway, I hope you like the chapter :D
Ayano felt the blood in her body freeze as she felt her eyes water after seeing what devastation Nomu had caused to free Kurogiri.
'Katsuki, no…' She thought despairingly.
Ayano then blinked realizing just who was thrown into her and just who she had her arms around. She realized her arms were around Katsuki, which meant—she looked over towards where someone had crashed into the wall.
'All Might,' She realized as the dust was starting to clear.
"Kacchan?!" Izuku gasped noticing him finally as well. "Whoa, that's awesome! You dodged him."
"Shut-up." Katsuki said. "No, I didn't, ya damn nerd."
He then grinded his teeth together as he sat up a bit straighter, so he practically wasn't laying on Ayano.
'That speed.' He thought. 'I couldn't even see him coming.'
He turned his head to look at Ayano over his shoulder as she tightened her arms around his torso. Her body shook against his as she clenched her jaw tightly.
'I'm sorry,' Her voice whispered through his mind. 'I'm so sorry.'
He didn't know what she was apologizing for as the others finally realized it was All Might who saved their classmate. Katsuki looked to All Might as well as he got Ayano to let go of him. He turned towards her while getting them both to their feet.
"All Might." Izuku called out in worry.
"These are kids, and you didn't hold back!" All Might growled in disgust.
Anyone of his students could have been hurt during that move. Katsuki especially.
"I didn't have much choice." The blue-haired villain said. "He was threatening my companion. Besides, these kids are no angels."
Ayano frown as he said that as she tried to calm her nerves. She couldn't lose it just before the finishing line.
"The plain looking one—he tried to kill me with a maxed-out punch." The villain continued. "As for Ishida Ayano, if Nomu wasn't built the way he was, she would have killed him the first time she slammed him into the ground."
Ayano's frown deepened. She had better control than what he was implying. Besides, if she had been going to kill Nomu she would have hit him harder. It wasn't like she knew how indestructible he was then.
"What kind of heroes do something like that?" The villain asked. "You think you can get away with being as violent as you want if you say its for the sake of others. Well, you know what, All Might, that pisses me off. Why do people get to decide that some violent acts are heroic and others of villainous? Casting judgment on what's good and what's evil. You think you're the Symbol of Peace? Hah! You're just another government sponsored instrument of violence. And violence always breeds more violence. I'll make sure the world understands that once you're dead."
While some might find a bit of truth to his words, Ayano just couldn't. Besides, he wasn't doing all these things just for the sake of the injustice he claims to see in society casting judgement on others.
"You're nothing but a lunatic." All Might said. "Criminals like you, you always try to make your actions sound noble. But admit it, you're only doing this because you like it. Isn't that right?"
He seemed to hit the nail on the head because the villain was cast into silence. The two sides stared each other down as the U.A students stood off to the side. Shoto looked to his classmates.
"We've got them outnumbered." Shoto said.
"And Kacchan found the mist guy's weakness." Izuku pointed out.
"These dudes may act really tough, but we can take them down now with All Might's help." Eijiro said as he activated his hardening quirk. "Let's do this."
'We shouldn't rush in carelessly.' Ayano cautioned as she opened the link between them. 'We have the numbers, but this is the first villain fight we've had. The ones before were small fry, so I believe most of us are feeling more overconfident than we should.'
The boys paused at her words as they exchanged glances with each other. Katsuki look down at Ayano as her brows furrowed in concentration.
'Just what are you trying to plan now, Aya?' He questioned.
She looked up at him with a slight grin on her face, which just made his brow quirk in return.
'Believe it or not, that Nomu creature isn't the biggest threat here.' Ayano said. 'It's him.'
She pointed to the blue-haired guy. The one who has proven to be the man in charge of this operation.
'I've noticed there's been a few times the creature hadn't moved.' Ayano explained. 'It had stayed still as a statue until its master gave it an ordered. It doesn't act on its down.'
'Which means if we shut his master up, he'll just stand there and take the beating!' Eijiro guessed.
'This is just a theory.' Ayano made sure to point out. 'But if we can somehow prevent the master from giving orders and pin the mist villain down again, All Might can finish the Nomu. We could actually win this fight.'
That sounded like a plan to the boys, but it didn't seem as if they'd even get a chance to try and execute the plan.
"Don't attack!" All Might ordered as he stepped forward with his arm held out in front of the students. "Get out of here."
"You would have been in trouble earlier if it weren't for me, remember?" Shoto asked. "You need our help."
"I thank-you for your assistance." All Might said. "But this is different."
All Might clenched his hand into a fist as he threw his arm back-ready for a fight.
"It's gonna be alright." All Might assured them. "Just sit back and watch a pro at work!"
"But you're hurt! And you're bleeding!" Izuku pointed out. "And you're almost out of tim—!"
Izuku stopped before he could say too much in front of his classmates. Ayano knew what he was going to say, and knew he was right. All Might didn't have much time left. As she watched on, All Might gave Izuku a silent thumbs up as if that was going to make everything better and reassure them. She frowned.
"Nomu, Kurogiri, kill him." The villain said. "I'll deal with the children. Let's clear this level and go home."
He suddenly dashed towards them as Kurogiri and Nomu went after All Might.
"Heads up," Eijiro said. "Looks like we're fighting after all."
Ayano was going to lift the guy up with her telekinesis to throw him away from them. But All Might got between him and them. He was about to punch the guy when Nomu got in his way. Their two fists met as they threw their punches, and the backlash from them sent everyone who was too close flying backwards. Ayano gasped as she went rolling across the ground before managing to get her bearings as she landed near her classmates.
She then watched as All Might and Nomu continued to duke it out with each punch threatening to send the students back even farther. She grabbed onto Katsuki and Izuku as the three of them were huddle together, so not to be sent flying away. This fight was already crazy and it just started.
"He's going to fight that brain guy, head on?!" Izuku asked worriedly.
Ayano just kept watching while seeing the other villains couldn't even get close enough to do anything either.
"Whoa, they're so fast!" Eijiro gasped as he dug his feet into the ground.
The onslaught continued with none of the students being able to keep up with the wild punches being thrown.
"He said your quirk was shock absorption—not nullification." All Might said. "So that means there's a limit to what you can take, right?!"
Ayano couldn't believe what she was seeing. She knew All Might was strong. He was the number one hero after all, but to see him fighting in person like this—it was a completely different story. This was so different than that time he fought against that sludge monster.
"So you were made to fight me, huh, big guy?" All Might asked as he pushed Nomu back. "If you can really withstand me firing at 100% of my power, then I'll have to go beyond that and force you to surrender!"
Go beyond 100%? That was such a crazy notion to even fathom. Ayano didn't even think it was possible for the human body to go beyond that much—no matter what a person's quirk might be. All Might finally landed a blow that sent Nomu flying backwards with more of the U.S.J being destroyed.
'I really hope Thirteen isn't too upset when seeing what's left of her building,' Ayano subconsciously thought.
All Might went after Nomu with the creature already back up as it charged forward as well.
"A real hero," All Might began as he met Nomu head on. "Will always find a way for justice to be served!"
He kicked Nomu across the ground then sent the beast up in the air. He jumped after it while grabbing its arm. He threw it down into the ground with it completely shattering at the impact. Large chunks of pavement went flying as All Might landed back on the ground as Nomu was bouncing back up from the impact.
"Now for a lesson," All Might said addressing his students. "You may have heard these words before, but I'll teach you what they really mean! Go beyond—PLUS ULTRA!"
He gave one final mighty punch to Nomu that was so strong a blast of power shot from it. Ayano watched in awe with the others as Nomu went flying towards the ceiling of the U.S.J. He hit the ceiling, but it couldn't hold due to all the force, so Nomu went flying clear out of the building with a large whole left from its exit. As Nomu disappeared off into the sky, the entire building continued to shake from that impact.
"That was like the finishing move in a video game." Eijiro said as the shaking died down. "He beat the shock absorption right out of him. I've never seen that kind of brute strength.
"Imagine having power like that." Katsuki said. "He must have been punching that monster so fast it couldn't regenerate."
Ayano, who stood up, just let out a sigh of relief now one of the bigger threats was out of the U.S.J. But things weren't over just yet. She looked to All Might as the smoke around him cleared.
"I really have gotten weaker." He said. "Back in my heyday, five hits would have been enough to knock that guy out. But today it took more than 300 mighty blows."
Ayano wasn't sure he should admit that considering the villains who weren't that far away and in earshot. She then narrowed her eyes when seeing smoke coming off All Might's body. He was at his limit. And there were still two more villains with any count left. Meaning this wasn't good, and she and her classmates might really have to fight. All Might turned towards the remaining villains.
"You've been bested, villains." All Might told them. "Surrender. We all want to get this over with quickly."
'He's trying to intimidate them,' Ayano realized then tilted her head when Ayumi's voice came through her mind.
'Ishida, I've nearly cleared the zones with our classmates.' Ayumi reported. 'Sorry that fight between All Might and the villains slowed me down. It was hard to run through all that backlash. I just need to pick up Yaoyorozu, Kaminari, and Jiro. Though on my way by, I noticed the other villains are starting to get up again.'
Ayano frowned. These villains really needed to learn when to give up. They been beat down so many times already.
'Then they'll have to deal with all of Class 1-A together,' Ayano told Ayumi. 'Get the remaining three to the stairs. We'll try to join you as soon as possible. Just tell them to prepare to keep fighting. We all will get through this.'
'Roger that.' Ayumi replied.
Ayumi's voice dropped out of her head as Ayano put her attention back on the situation at hand.
"Get your hands up!" The skull-masked villain said to Kyoka and Momo as he held Denki hostage. "And no quirks, got it?"
Both girls glared at the villain in front of them. This wasn't good at all. How did things end up like this?
"Use your powers, and I'll kill your friend here." The skull-masked villain threatened.
"Kaminari's helpless." Momo pointed out.
He used too much of his power and fried his brain. He couldn't fight back now even if he wanted.
"Damn villain." Kyoka cursed. "He totally caught us with our pants down. I thought that electric blast would have fried them all. We're so stupid. How did we not see this coming?"
"I feel a little brotherhood with other electric types." The villain continued as he held up his hand which sparked with electricity. "So, I don't want to kill him, but I will if you make me."
The girls gasped then unhappily raised their hands in surrender. They couldn't risk Denki's life.
"An electric type." Momo said. "He's probably the one Todoroki said is jamming our communications."
The villain started walking forward, which had both girls stiffening at his approach.
"Don't move a muscle." He warned. "Let's take this nice and slow."
He then grunted when a sliver streak hit him out of nowhere. Denki fell from his hold only to be caught by said streak that came to a skidding halt. Ayumi smirked as she held her classmate in her arms while looking at the villain.
"Sorry, dude, but doing things slow has never been my forte." She said as she set Denki by her classmates. "Maybe if you had been a bit faster, you would have had the upper hand."
"Why you little!" The villain shouted while preparing to fire a stream of electricity at Ayumi.
Her smirk widened as she ran forward hitting the guy at such high speeds he went sailing back into the mountainside. He hit it hard, which knocked him out as he fell forward.
"While I'm happy for the help that was a bit reckless, Jinsoku." Momo pointed out.
"Sorry." Ayumi said shrugging. "Now let's go. Ishida told me to get everyone back to the stairs. Things are winding down a bit, but some of the villains are getting their second wind. We all need to be together, so things like hostage situations don't happen again."
Momo couldn't argue with that. However, they couldn't leave the electric type villain here without restraints.
"Okay," Momo said as she created a special coil to hold the villain. "Help me tie with him first then we'll go."
Ayumi nodded then grabbed the coil. In a flash she had the villain all wrapped up.
"Alright, time to move." Ayumi said as she lifted Denki. "I can only carry one at a time. Considering he's been shocked stupid, I'll take him first. I'll be back in a zip!"
She disappeared off in a streak of silver leaving her two classmates there. Kyoka let out a sigh.
"When is all this going to end?" She asked.
"When the faculty arrive, I suppose." Momo said.
Ayumi then returned in the matter of seconds to take one of them back to the others.
'Ishida, everyone is back together besides the five of you,' Ayumi reported in. 'And the villain blocking our communications has been taken care of.'
Ayano let out a silent breath of relief. Things were looking a bit better. At least the rest of the class was okay, and now they could get a connection out for help if needed. However, if Tenya did make it to the school, and it wasn't being attacked, the faculty should already be on their way.
'Good,' Ayano replied. 'Make sure everyone stays together. Hopefully our business here will be over with soon.'
Ayumi gave confirmation before leaving Ayano's head once more. Ayano was just glad the others were safe. Now, if she and her four classmates could get out of this unscathed, they all should be fine. She watched as All Might and the villains stared each other down. The blue-haired one was scratching his neck vigorously. A nervous habit. He knew he was beaten.
"What's wrong?" All Might asked them. "Not attacking me? Didn't you say you were going to clear this level earlier? Well, come and get me if you dare."
Ayano sweat-dropped. She knew All Might was trying to intimidate them but inviting them to fight probably wasn't the best idea. Though it seemed to have the desired affect since the villain backed up out of fear.
"Man, this is intense." Katsuki said.
"As I expected, there's no reason for us to fight now." Shoto said. "He'll handle this."
Ayano knew that wasn't exactly true. If it did come down to a fight, All Might could lose at this point. And if the villains pause for much longer, they might learn his secret as would their classmates. Either way, it didn't look good for All Might.
"Come on, Midoriya," Eijiro called out to Izuku. "We should regroup with the other guys. The last thing we wanna do is get taken hostage or get in his way."
Both viable reasons to leave, but Ayano herself didn't want to move just almost as much as Izuku. They had to do something to help him. However, she didn't know what.
"What?" All Might called out to the villains. "Are you scared?"
His words had the blue-haired guy stiffening, but the mist villain seemed all too calm. He wasn't buying the bluff. The blue-haired villain started scratching both sides of his neck vigorously as he muttered to himself. He was completely losing his cool. He lost his pet, and now didn't know what to do.
"If Nomu was here, he'd crush you right into the ground." He said.
"Shigaraki Tomura," Kurogiri said calmly while leaning towards his boss.
'Shigaraki Tomura?' Ayano thought. 'So that's his name.'
"Do not fret." Kurogiri continued. "Look at him. He has definitely weakened. Nomu's attacks were successful."
Tomura calmed down at his second-in-command's words as he finally looked closely at All Might. Ayano narrowed her eyes.
'This isn't good.' She worried. 'If he gets his nerve to fight back, All Might really will be in trouble.'
They had to find a way to help All Might. Though she wasn't sure how. The others thought it was all over with him here. If she suggests they fight back anyway, they'll question why. And she won't have an answer for them.
"He's on his own," Kurogiri continued. "The children appear to be frozen in fear, and look, our underlings are recovering."
Ayano looked around seeing that was true. Soon it'd be as if they were back to square one. Having to fight the underlings to get to the bosses, and she's already tired. As she's sure all her classmates are. Things were looking very bad.
"We likely still have a few minutes before their reinforcements arrive." Kurogiri added. "If you and I work together, we can do this. We haven't missed our chance to kill All Might."
As Tomura's hands dropped to his side, Ayano mentally cursed. He gained his nerve again. This fight would continue.
"Yeah," He agreed. "Yeah, you're right. This is it. We have no choice. We have to do it now. I mean, the big end boss is right here."
Ayano then stiffened as the villains behind them all got up to their feet. She looked over her shoulder at them as the guys turned to face them.
"I think All Might can hold his own against those two main guys." Eijiro said as he activated his hardening quirk. "Let's make sure these guys don't hurt anyone else."
"Will you two be joining us?" Shoto asked Izuku and Ayano the only two not to face the villains.
Ayano sighed. All of this was turning into a disaster, but now wasn't the time to give up. She might have to ask her classmates to leave the stairs and help. However, she wasn't sure what their physical or emotional conditions were. Some of them were probably to frightened to move. And their other two teachers wouldn't be of help either. Ayano's head then snapped over to watch as Izuku charged forward without thinking again.
"Izuku!" She shouted while running after him. "Stop!"
"You idiots!" Katsuki roared after them.
He watched as his classmates ran right towards the heaviest of the danger with wide eyes. Suddenly Izuku launched forward at blinding speed, so that he was nearly on top of the villains. He went to attack, but the warp guy opened two gates. One that Tomura put his hand through, so it was right in Izuku's face. Ayano's eyes widened knowing she had to hurry. If only she could lift herself to fly over like she did with objects. She'd get there faster. She then looked to some rubble on the ground while getting a quick idea.
'I hope this works.' She thought to herself.
She lifted one chunk of cement over to her to jump on. She gasped nearly tumbling off, but she kept her footing while using the lifted rubble to get her there faster. Just as Izuku was about to be grabbed by Tomura. Ayano hit him head on. They both went tumbling to the ground where Ayano hit her head hard as she felt off the pavement she had been lifting. She groaned holding it as her head rang. She was sure she just lost all mental connection to her classmates from that blow. She then gasped looking up as Tomura loomed over her.
"Master wants you in tact, but I don't see why I can't leave a little reminder of me on your skin." He hissed while reaching towards her.
"Aya!" Katsuki shouted as he watched her helplessly lie there.
Before he could even think to run over there a gunshot rang out. Tomura hissed at the bullet went through his hand. Ayano's eyes widened before she looked over to the stairs. She felt her heart soar when seeing they were finally here.
'They all came,' Ayano thought happily. 'Iida-kun managed to get them here.'
Ayano watched with the others as the teachers arrived.
"Sorry, everyone!" Nezu called out. "I know we're a bit late, but I got the sensei here as fast as I could."
And not a moment too late. Ayano felt much more at ease now. Finally, they could rest easy.
"Your class rep has returned!" Tenya shouted to all of them. "I have fulfilled my duty, and I've brought reinforcements."
The villains tried to shoot down the teachers, but Present Mic used his voice quirk to send them back to the ground. Ectoplasm then used his clones to fight the ones still standing.
"Our priority is to protect all of our students." Nezu ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The teachers replied.
They started making quick work of those villains as Tomura finally stepped away from Ayano.
"Ah man, the pros are here." He said. "It's really game over for real. Let's go home, and try this when we can—!"
He was cut off as Sniper rained more bullets down on him to take out his limbs. He crumbled to the ground as Kurogiri tried to wrap his warp around his boss to keep him safe. Ayano tried to push herself up.
'I can't let them escape.' Ayano said. 'Have to do something.'
However, with how her head was ringing, she wasn't sure if she could even use her telekinesis or psionic construction right now. It just hurt too much. She then gasped as Thirteen, who was on her feet, tried to capture Tomura and Kurogiri with Black Hole.
However, even as they were pulled towards Thirteen, they still managed to escape. After they were gone, Thirteen closed off her quirk. Ayano laid on the ground as she tried to catch her breath. This wasn't how she thought her day was going to go. Ayano then looked to All Might and Izuku as All Might returned to his other form. He didn't even seem to notice she was here. Well, this would be a fun one to explain once he realizes her presence.
"Midoriya, Ishida, hey!" Eijiro called out to them as he ran forward. "Are you two okay?"
"Aya, you idiot!" Katsuki called from where he stood. "Just what the hell was that stupid move?!"
Ayano just gave him a deadpanned expression as she continued to lay on the ground. She didn't gave the patience to explain her actions to him. Izuku and All Might both stiffened as they looked over to see Ayano laying there. She waved at them lazily with the deadpanned expression still on her face. They then looked to Eijiro who was getting closer.
"No, Kirishima, wait!" Izuku cried out.
Eijiro blinked in confusion then gasped when a large cement wall was put between him and his classmates.
"For your safety, please, stay back, young man," Cementoss asked Eijiro. "Join your classmates at the front gates. Leave the injured to us. We can take care of them."
As Ayano listened to Eijiro follow orders and get Shoto and Katsuki to do the same, she let out a sigh.
"Young Ishida," All Might called out to her.
She turned her eyes on the Symbol of Peace as he looked at her and how calmly she was taking his true form.
"How long have you known?" He asked.
Izuku gasped as he looked to his friend. He had no idea she knew about All Might's secret.
"For a while." Ayano replied. "You're not ever good at keeping your thoughts private."
All Might winced at that comment as did Izuku. He was sure it was his fault Ayano learned about it in the first place.
"And you never said anything, why?" All Might questioned.
"Its your secret, which means it's not my place to say anything or tell anyone." Ayano said simply as she managed to sit up. "I figured if I played ignorant, it'd put you both at ease. I didn't want to get Izuku in trouble with you either. It's as simple as that."
All Might stared at the girl as she looked up at the ceiling with a tired look on her face. He then smiled. She was going to make a great hero someday. As were they all.
