Heyyo, Hows has everything been? I personally have been digging a 39 in ditch for the past four days, and I can safely say I have two new adversaries to my existence.

Mud, and Snow.

Think you like something? Well! Involve it in digging somehow, and you'll fucking hate it in just a few short minutes! I remember the time when I thought snow was fun and cool…I liked the chill, and the good ol rough housing one could have just chucking it at eachother.

Now, I look at it, and loose all motivation to breathe.

But I digress!

Here is the next chapter for Berserker, Warning. I hope you do enjoy, and if you do, enjoy that feeling, cause that is what enjoyment is for.

The classes were almost comically normal. English, Math, and other obvious scholastics that felt ironically out of place considering the teachers costumes…it was like an out of season Halloween party study session…all year long.

Though I am now incredibly annoyed at English…as Mister Hype-man over here can't seem to understand that the language of English, especially learning it, is mundane, droll, and especially with high schoolers, boring.

It's just painful listening to the guy.

Lunch is pretty awesome though.

They have this massive cafeteria, with good seats and a wide area that facilitates the crowd. They even have Heroes at the counter serving food.

The true heroes of this entire establishment.

If shit goes down, I'm saving these guys first.

And then, finally, in the evening, the actual reason for why I am here is realized.

Hero Basic Training.

I could already hear the footsteps from outside the room, so I figured whoever was teaching this course was pretty strong themselves…please be someone good. Aizawa is an example of NOT good.

"I am..." I heard a voice call through the door, and I visibly deflated, my hope popping like a leaky balloon.

"Coming through the door like a normal person!" He proclaimed with a large smile, his cape fluttering in some imaginary wind.

All Might.

Hurrah….

I tuned him out subconsciously, cycling through my music at a slow speed to find something else. I never really know what I'm looking for…I just know when I hear it.

Wall panels started to pop out of the walls, and I blinked in surprise as a realization flashed to the forefront of my mind.

I hadn't sent in any designs for my costume…oh dear. The only I put on there was "really sturdy headphones"…am I literally just going to get that? They didn't give me some neon leotard did they? I don't care what they say I'm not wearing anything like that!

Students rushed forward towards the panels, grabbing their cases and hurrying off to the changing rooms, and I slowly walked forward with the last of the crowd…I didn't actually pay attention when we got our seat numbers. I just took the seat that was empty every day, and it wasn't the same one.

Sure enough, there was one left.

The last of the kids were cramming out the door, and I waited till they were all gone before I quietly placed my case on the nearest desk. I stared at the latch for a time…I wasn't sure if I wanted to open it.

Apparently, in the case of a student not sharing suitable information, they can consult a parent or guardian for details.

I did not submit any details…so they would have most likely consulted my…parent.

I don't know if I want to open this.

I stared at it some more, the case, the handle, the number…I…

I slowly reached for the locks on the side, before I stopped. I moved, grabbing the case…by the handle.

And put it back on the rack.

I removed my uniform top and undershirt, leaving me with my standard under armor tank top. I'm pretty sure if this is just an exercise, they shouldn't get that ruined…and if they get torn, I'll submit them as my current "hero costume"…that way I don't have to pay for it…hehe.

I hope that works.

I turned on my heel, and walked out. This is a drill…I don't need to be silly looking to take this seriously.

I beat the crowd there, as they were obviously changing. I walked out onto the designated terminal, and I saw All Might, standing in the center of the street. I didn't say a word, heading to the edge of the tunnel wall and leaning against it. I threaded my headphones up the back of my shirt so I wouldn't have to worry about loose cords flying around, and I just relaxed.

"Young Man, where is your costume?!" All Might asked eccentrically, walking over with his ever-stupid semi-permanent smile.

"I don't want to. I am comfortable in this." I said simply.

"Your uniform is not cheap you know?" he said in worry. I just shrugged, "I'll just send it to the costume department for repairs…you won't charge the others for repairing theirs will you?"

He seemed taken aback by my nonchalance, and I remained neutral, "Don't worry about it, focus on them…I'm sure their feeling the thrill of looking neon amongst other neons. Here they come now." I said, hearing the chatter from my spot. All Might looked over, and swelled, I could see it.

"They say clothing makes the man, young men and ladies. Be fully aware from now on….You are Heroes!" he said epically, and they all stood out in the sunlight.

So, what, am I just a lazy prick then?...Actually, maybe there is some truth to that statement.

"Looking good everyone…you look great!" he said with a larger smile and a thumbs up.

Everyone resumed their happy chatter with everyone else, and I for the larger part ignored it, just casually looking into the crowd of people…they sure were sparkly.

Who decided that Hero Costumes needed to be this weird and flashy anyway?

I just smirked at Midoriya, who came out last. What even were those horns? He looks like a rabbit!

Looks like All Might thought it was funny as well.

All Might stared his briefing with common facts involving various situations, and I listened somewhat. It made sense to me considering a crime can happen anywhere, and it's our job to adapt regardless…as that's literally out job.

Teams of two though huh? That means I'm going to have a partner.

I looked over the strangers, examining them with mild interest.

As far as looks go, I don't want that sparkly guy, he looks gay as hell. I'm not a homophobe mind you, sparkle away!...but just don't do it when it's just you and me. I tallied off people I wouldn't want, and was soon left with a few options. The tall guy, Shoji…or whatever. He was about my height anyway, so that could be fun, looked pretty strong too; I think he beat me in the grip strength test yesterday.

Harden I could use as a weapon…that would be fun.

That guy with the headphones looked alright, he couldn't be that bad…the guy with the tail looked pretty serious as well.

As for girls…I dunno. Floaty could be useful, but I doubt we would work well together. Yaoyorozu-sama will be taken care of if she's on my team, still gotta pay her back somehow…the frog girl looked…dunno. I don't know much about her to be honest.

And the invisible girl and alien chick…meh, we could work something out. Invisibility is useful especially in this scenario, and…I don't know what she does, but I'm sure it's strong considering she got into this class.

"The mission is as follows! The Villain team has hidden a nuclear weapon somewhere in their multistory hideout. The heroes are tasked with infiltration to dispose of this situation. The Heroes need to catch the villains or get the nuclear weapon back in the allotted time. The villains need to protect the nuclear weapon for the whole time, or defeat the hero team, capture or otherwise." He said in a long breath, before he tossed the script over his shoulder and pulled a large yellow box out of nowhere.

"Teams will be decided by drawing lots! The same will be used to determine Opponents!"

I heard a few sighs of dismay and a few more questions were fired at All Might, and I just sighed…well, no point in worrying then. Teams will be teams…worst case scenario, I'll do it alone…no problem.

Preferably, defense would be better. Home turf is always better, and it gives me a time advantage, as well as ambush potential and guerilla warfare.

I raised my hand.

"All Might." I said, and he called on me fairly quickly.

"Are there medics on standby?" I asked calmly, and he looked at me…interested. "We do have a team in case of emergencies…why? Lethal or attacks that inflict lasting damage aren't permitted." He finished quickly, and I shrugged.

"Do I have permission to modify the environment once the test begins?"

He looked even more interested.

"Of course! Get that bomb, or force the enemy team to surrender! Keep in mind though, too much chaos my set off the bomb your trying to defuse."

I nodded, before I started stretching.

"Teams!" All Might shouted, before he rattled off names.

I watched Midoriya blush through his mask when he was paired with Floaty, it was so funny I nearly missed my own name in my amusement.

"Senshi Ikari and Hagakure Toru!"

I turned and blinked…who was that again?

"Looks like we're a team!" I heard a bubbly voice speak off to my side, and I saw a pair of floating gloves wave the peace sign at me.

I grinned, "Ahh, the Invisible Girl, awesome, you were in my top picks." I said with a nod as well, and she shook her gloves left and right in apparent excitement, "Awe thanks!"

"The first teams battling will be…Team A and Team D!" he said loudly, and I nodded. I was not either of those.

The observation room it. The group split as the current contestants headed their way, and we meandered to our own destination…entertaining idle conversation.

"So tell me Invis, what are your thoughts?"

She shook her hands in irritation at the nickname, "That's not cute at all!"

I stared at her…or where I thought she was, and waved my hand for her to go on.

She moved past it, "Anyway, I think this test will be fairly easy if we are on the Hero side."

I grinned, "Funny, I figured it will be easier on the Villain side."

I started chuckling evilly as we sort of separated ourselves from the group so they couldn't hear us, and we began out tactical meeting.

"You know how he said multi-story building?"

"Yes!"

"You know how most multi story buildings in this area don't have elevators?"

"Yes!"

"That means there are only two ways up, the stairs and the fire escape."

"…Yes?"

"So, if I take out all the stairs…how are they going to get up in 10 minutes?"

She was silent, before she just gave me a thumbs up, and her other glove covered her mouth, to which she was giggling like a villain…way to get into character.

"We can leave the fire escape, and when they get high enough, I can push them off!"

I grinned widely, "Ha! I'm liking you more and more Invis…y?"

"Call my Toru! My friends call me that!"

"Right then Toru-chan, what's your plan for Hero side?" I said with a happy grin, I like this girl. for someone so hidden, she's surprisingly open.

She fanned her gloves as if to cool off her face, and I wondered if she was doing that as a joke or not…I really couldn't tell. Does she blush?...actually…isn't she naked?

"Actually, Toru-chan, before that…are you actually naked right now?"

I stared at where I thought her head was, before I just let my head fall slack on my neck, "Well alright then. I guess shame and modesty don't really have any meaning when people can't see anything anyway."

She pinched my cheek, "I'm still a girl you know!"

"How would I know that? Gloves and boots are unisex clothing."

"My Voice!"

"Most kids here are on the outside edge of hitting puberty, there are some sopranos around, and I know it."

"That's mean!"

"Sorry."

"Hmph!"

We conversed for several minutes, sharing details and offering up strategies to counter each of the teams that we remembered. It carried on for a time, before we eventually fell silent.

I sat there, staring at her shoes, and then her gloves…and then her shoes.

I turned away and clapped a hand over my eyes, "Where do I even look when I'm talking to you." I muttered, massaging the bridge of my nose.

I felt a prickle on the back of my neck, and I blinked…was she angry?

Wait.

"Toru-chan, can you do me a favor?"

"What's that?"

"Can you take off your gloves and shoes?"

Her anger flared, I didn't need a notification from my quirk to know that from her gloves.

"You Perv!" she shouted, and I blinked in shock, "Haaah?! We just talked about how that wasn't possible!"

She stood there, her gloves twitching, and I just sighed, "Look, I want to see if I can find you. Hurry up please."

She begrudgingly did so, and set her stuff down. I closed my eyes, and waited.

"K…?"

I sat there for a few moments; before I just felt a presence…it was more focal than when I got attacked before…hmm.

I opened my eyes, and pointed, "Are you there?"

Silence.

"How did you KNOW!?" she said in awe and shock, and I jumped at how close she actually was, "Jeez, ugh, ok, try again."

She moved again, and I focused…this is Toru…her anger is central, more circular…bubbled almost, heat…boil.

I got the distance wrong last time, how do I fix that? Is it intensity? Some other indication?

"There?" I asked, pointing off to my right, "10 feet?"

"Right again!" she giggled loudly, and I was reeling…she could be the key to perfecting my detection! I couldn't see here, she was quiet, and had no shame! I could anger her at any time, and we could do it anywhere!

"How do you do that Ikari-kun!" she said, I could hear her steps as she hopped over, and started putting her shoes back on.

"It's part of my Quirk, I can kinda sense people's anger…it's like a radar almost…kinda. You know when it's dark and you're looking for a light switch that you know is there? It's kinda like that…I'm pretty bad at it though, I'm surprised I actually got the distance right there. Directional its ok…definitely not great.

But I could work on that! Everyone is angry at something…maybe I can get it to the point that I can pinpoint people to the exact area at will!

"It's part of your Quirk?" she asked, and sat next to me. She was my teammate, so telling her would be proactive…but it was hard to concentrate…I could feel her body heat…naked…oh dear.

I am not a perv, I am not a perv, I am not a perv, I am NOT A PERV! I AM NOT A PERV!

This is so weird.

"U-um yeah. My Quirk is called Berserker. The angrier I get, the stronger I get…because I live with anger, I can detect it fairly well in the people around me as well…and I should warn you right now."

I reached down, grabbed one of her gloved hands, and pulled it directly in front of my face, hoping that got her attention on me.

"If I start getting wild, I need you to run. No questions, comments, or any other reasons. You'll get in the way of All Might when he tries to restrain me."

She was silent, and I nodded, taking that as her hearing what I said. I put her hand where I picked it up from, and I stood up, stretching again.

"I'm gonna go check on how the current teams are doing, coming? It'll be good for learning where we are fighting."

She…I don't even know if she's looking or not…I really hope we're next.

Suddenly, a massive explosion rocked the room. I whirled, staring wide eyed into the camera, and saw the smoke and rubble, the static indicating the camera's closest were destroyed, and the outside camera showing the horrific exit hole of the monstrous explosions that tore through the reinforced walls.

He aimed that at a person…

I cast a glance sideways at All Might, who looked incredibly shocked at this, and immediately broadcasted his message.

"Bakugo, you are hereby banned from using that attack."

I clenched my teeth, squeezing my fist tightly as my veins pulsed with a desire for rage. Was that it? A fucking warning?

THIS IS THE HERO COURSE! YOU WARNED US BEFORE HAND THAT LETHAL ATTACKS WERE PROHIBITED!

I seethed, doing my best to just stay still…if I moved, I would launch.

I felt a tug on my arm, and I turned to see a thumbs up…a floating thumbs up.

"It'll be ok! Midoriya-san's pretty strong you know!"

I closed my eyes, rolling my head on my shoulders as I tried to release the tension…calm, collected.

I sighed, letting out a breath, and relaxed…kind of, "Right…I need to chill." I said with a smile, and I heard the entire class around my take a breath.

Did I miss something?

Well, Its the end here lads. Sorry for the bit of the cliff hanger, don't worry, shits going to get real next chapter. I totally have ti already written too, all the way through to the USJ incident, but it doesn't matter, cause this is all your getting for now. I'm feeling evil, so forgive me this once.

Hope you enjoyed, and if not, sorry. I have recently started writing a Sekerei fanfic from memory, something that is already stupid funny cause the only thing I really remember about the show was the main character was Minato, the Hotel Lady was REALLY OP and scary, and everyone was a fucking titty monster.

Should be a fun read later, dunno if I'll post it though. 10k words and going strong! Itll bring a chuckle later for me…I'll call it a humorous investment.

Anyway, G'bye, see you…well, next time.

Peace!
