· Crawls out of the grave –
Guess who's back ! And for once me not updating wasn't my fault . For one I am sick and like all sick people feel like shit . Two my internet just said " So you know how I'm a dick ? No ? Well let me demonstrate!' and then just died so yeah . All that aside I'm also just a lazy MF .

Ochako never considered herself one of the strongest members of class 1A and for her at least that was okay . Her focus was going to be on rescue heroics and while she knew combat was a necessary skill, she wanted to focus on her passion first and foremost. However she quickly learnt how naïve of a thought that was .
The pragmatic truth is there needs to be trouble for there to be people in need of rescuing and Ochako couldn't just wait for the combat heroes to fight before going in to rescue . A heroes job was to save and it is their responsibility to do their job quickly and efficiently. So she found a way to balance the two and she was glad she did . Taking her internship with Gunhead had provided her with skills that had saved her time and time again .
Those teachings were useful and she would probably use them for the rest of her life , but they couldn't carry her forever . With Deku gone she and everyone else would have to step it up . She shook away the sadness she felt whenever she now thought of her best friend . Deku leaving was a big blow but it's not like he was gone forever, they still talked and if his speech from his farewell said anything it's that Izuku Midoriya wasn't giving up .
So Ochako wouldn't give up either, if Deku was still fighting quirkless and all she had no excuse to not try her best .
She gathered around everyone else at Ground Beta and they all looked as ready as she was . Whatever their teachers had planned Ochako was sure she and her fellow heroes in training would rise to the task .
" Alright gather up ."
Ochako and her class did so quietly and efficiently knowing by now that being the target of Aizawa-sensei's annoyance is not a good place to be in .
They all heard footsteps coming towards them and the shout of an iconic catchphrase reached their ears .
" I AM HERE ! Slightly later than I was supposed to be."
" Being aware of your tardiness doesn't excuse it Yagi."
" That's true, sorry for the delay Aizawa ."
" Whatever, lets just get on with the class ."
The interaction brought a smile to the class , their teachers had always been polar opposites and it became a joy for the onlookers whenever the two engaged in playful banter ( mostly playful at least.)
" Alright class, todays training exercise is an indoor battle trial with a twist !"
" I'm sure you all remember the Shie Hassaikai raid that some of your classmates participated in this exercise is a recreation of that so that you can learn how to fight in larger teams against larger teams of villains as well as learning the restraint needed to fight underground ."
Memories filled Ochako's head of the raid against the Shie Hassaikai , it was a though battle and in the end it was a bittersweet victory but she was glad that the troubles of the past were beginning to aid her future . Ochako resolved to put her experience to full use .
" It's similar to your very first training exercise but with a few key differences. One is numbers ,these matches will be five v five ."
Iida immediately raised his hand .
" Sirs there are only nineteen .."
" We know Iida , listen up after some deliberation with the teachers , we have decided on who will join class 1A in place of Midoriya, said person is right behind you .
Ochako turned around and was surprised to see a some what familiar face . It was the boy Deku fought in the first round of the Sports Festival she was pretty sure his name started with an S and maybe the second letter was an h . Shinomori ? No his name was shorter than that .
Aizawa sensei spoke up cutting of her thoughts. " This is Hitoshi Shinso as of today he's your new classmate.
Well at least she got two letters right .
After Shinso was welcomed into the class by the more louder members ( Ochako included ) Aizawa sensei spoke up again .
" Lets us explain the rest of the rules there's not much left anyways , another difference is that unlike your first exercise there will be no object to capture . The win conditions for both teams is the same eliminate the other team via capture any overly violent behaviour will not be tolerated ."
If he looked at the more umm… enthusiastic members of the class while saying that nobody called him out on it and Ochako didn't plan on changing that .
" The villain team will have five minutes to prep their underground lair . The hero team will have the same time to plan , however unlike last time the heroes will not be given a map of the villain base , you'll have to go in blind ! This exercise has a time limit of 15 minutes if the time passes without a whole team being captured the team that captured the most opponents wins ."
" Alright , since some of your classmates participated in the raid the teams are going to be assigned in order to spread those students out . Obviously one team won't have an experienced student but one of the first things I taught you was that life isn't fair . A hero has a duty to protect especially when all hope seems lost .
Ochako felt oddly encouraged by those words , since the start of the year Aizawa sensei had been hard on them . Ochako clearly remembered her words on the first day about how unfair her teacher was but now she had come to understand that his words were true , the world and the villains neither of them were fair .
" All right here are the teams ."
A hologram appeared from a device in All Might's hands showcasing the teams :

Ochako gathered up with her team , it was a solid one but it had its flaws ( probably intentional flaws ) their lack of raw physical power would cause issues but their versatility is were they shone .
" The Hero 1 and Villain 1 teams can follow me , everyone else Aizawa will show you to the viewing area ."
All Might had lead Ochako and her team to a faux house directly opposite to what would be the villains base .
" After I show the villain team their base the prep time will begin and once we announce the time is up only then are you allowed to exit this house , good luck young heroes and remember your training ."
Ochako would take his advice as soon as All Might left they found a table and started planning

Alright this is probably the shortest chapter in the history of this story . Which isn't a long history to begin with . Bear with me though I've already started the next two chapters ( one for each match ) and they are significantly longer , trust me I'm getting back into it now . I'm not giving up any time soon .
