The next day after our normal classes, it's time for our first heroics class.
"I am here!" All Might shouts as he runs into our class. "You'll be building up your Hero Foundation through various trials. Your first trial will be a battle trial."
"Let's go!" Katsuki shouts.
"Oh look, if it isn't Mr. High and mighty," I whisper into the mic hearing a laugh at the other end.
"You guys will all change into your hero costumes. Don't forget, from now on you're all heroes."
We all grab our hero costumes and head to the locker rooms to change. I change into my costume which is a tight black shirt with black leggings. There was also a black skirt with red accents and a black cape with red accents that looked like wisps of shadows that went to my knees. On my neck, I had a red capturing weapon and on my waist, there was a belt with two daggers with a black hilt and a red flower vine pattern. I also had a katana on my side that had a black hilt. The shoes that I had were black combat boots.
We all walk out and gather at Grounds B and all line up facing All Might.
"This battle will be an indoor battle. You'll be split into villain and hero groups for a two-on-two battle. The villains will guard the nuclear core they plan on deploying and the heroes must stop them. If the heroes capture the villains or reach the nuclear core before time runs out, they win. If the villains manage to have the time run out or capture the heroes, they win. You will be paired up randomly. By the way, one group will go twice."
The groups are all made. Team A is Izuku and Uraraka, B is Shoto and Shoji, C is Yaoyorozu and Mineta, D is Katsuki and Ida, E is Aoyama and Ashido, F is Sato and Koda, G is Kaminari and Jiro, H is Tokoyami and Asui, I is Ojiro and Hagakure, J is Kirishima and Sero, and K is just me.
The first to battle is team A and team D.
"Izuku and Uraraka will be the heroes while Bakugo and Ida are villains. We'll all be watching from the cameras in the surveillance room."
Katsuki and Ida head into the building first. After five minutes, Izuku and Uraraka enter, starting the battle. Izuku and Uraraka are walking when suddenly Katsuki ambushes them setting off a giant explosion. Izuku pushes Uraraka and himself out of the way but the flames char half of his mask.
Katsuki attacks again and Izuku and Uraraka run off. Katsuki stomps around looking for them. Izuku tells Uraraka something and she runs off. Izuku comes out of hiding and faces off against Katsuki.
Whatever Izuku said, it made him furious. Katsuki attacks Izuku again and Izuku uses the capturing tape on his leg. Katsuki escapes using an explosive right swing and Izuku dodges it. Izuku charges at Katsuki and punches him in the stomach. That just makes him angrier. He pulls the pin in his grenade gauntlets and sets off a ginormous explosion that creates a giant hole in the building, Izuku had avoided it by flicking his finger, spraining it again, causing the air to fly at Katsuki.
"Bakugo, back down!" All Might shouts into the mic.
I grab the mic from him and shout, "Bakugo Katsuki! Back the fuck down! If you end up killing Izuku, I will kill you myself!"
There's no response but it looks as if Izuku was saying something to him. Katsuki turns around and shouts something back at Izuku, getting ready to attack again. Izuku looks at Katsuki his hair turning white and his eyes red as a read aura comes off Katsuki going to Izuku. The aura disappears and Izuku's hair goes back to his normal coloring. As Katsuki tries to explode Izuku away nothing happens.
Izuku smiles and sets off an explosion with his hand just as Katsuki does. Izuku blasts Katsuki and it's as if he's given up. Izuku tapes him up with the capturing tape. Izuku says something into the mic, pauses as if listening, and runs off up the stairs.
Once Izuku gets there Uraraka uses her quirk to make her weightless and Izuku looks at Ida and a red aura comes off Ida, flowing to Izuku as his eyes turn red. Izuku reaches a hand up to Uraraka and a red aura flows from him to her. She grows engines in her calves. Ida tries to run for the core, noticing what they're doing, but can't get there in time since Uraraka uses the engines and her weightlessness to get to the core quicker and grab onto it.
"Hero team wins!"
They all walk back to the surveillance room.
"What did you do to my quirk Deku?" Bakugo shouts.
"Hey, I was only doing it to protect everyone from you," Izuku responds.
Izuku looks at Uraraka and a red aura comes off her as the engines disappear from her calves, going to Izuku.
"Give me your hand," Izuku says to Ida and Katsuki.
Ida places his hand in Izuku's and the red aura flows from him to Ida, giving him back his quirk.
"I will not put my hand in stupid Deku's hand!" Katsuki shouts.
"Remember what I said earlier, Deku is the name of a hero."
"How did you do that?" Ida asks, ignoring what was going on between Katsuki and Izuku.
"Well, turns out I wasn't quirkless after all, Kacchan. Give me your hand if you want your quirk back."
"Fine," Katsuki says placing his hand in Izuku's s and the process was repeated.
All Might says, "It's time for critique. Midoriya was the best during the match. Can anyone tell me why?"
Yaoyorozu steps forward. "Bakugo used very destructive attacks and could have brought the whole building down. Ida and Bakugo couldn't work together. Uraraka was more of a burden till the end since Midoriya had to push her out of the way and protect her from Bakugo's quirk. Therefore, Midoriya was the best because he took Bakugo's quirk and was able to help his team win without damaging the building or hurting anyone too bad."
"Correct Yaoyorozu. The next groups up are team B and team I."
Ojiro and Hagakure enter the new building first and then after five minutes Shoto and Shoji enter. As soon as they enter Shoji walks out and the whole building ices over. Shoto just walks up to the nuclear core and touches it.
"Hero team wins!"
The ice all starts melting as Shoto reaches out a hand.
•••
After the battles between teams H and J, teams G and F, it's time for me to battle Yaoyorozu and Mineta. Yaoyorozu and Mineta enter first.
I wrap the shadows around me, thinking of Yaoyorozu, and walk through the shadows arriving where they are.
I walk out of the shadows and wrap a layer of shadows around me like armor. Mineta spots me first and starts to throw the purple balls from on his head. They don't do anything and I throw my daggers, pinning him against the wall.
Yaoyorozu created a sword and shield and the shadows float around me as if they were coming from my back, causing my hair to float a little bit off my shoulders. I walk to Yaoyorozu, drawing my katana and our swords start clashing. I wrap the shadows around her, restraining her.
As I touch the nuclear core, All Might shouts, "Hero team wins!"
As I bend down to get my daggers Mineta says, "Nice boobs."
I grab my dagger and point it underneath his chin.
"Don't talk to me or anyone like that. You understand?"
"Ouch."
"Fuck off and stop bothering me or you'll become dust."
"You're offering my services," Shigaraki says through the earpiece.
"Hizuki, you'll be up against team E."
"Okay."
"You'll be the villains."
"Got it."
I head to the fourth floor to guard the core. I wait till Aoyama and Ashido arrive on my floor.
Once they arrive on my floor, I draw my sword, getting ready to attack, the shadows swirling around me darker than before as my hair and capturing weapon defy gravity.
"You think you can beat me now that you've seen me fight? That's not all I can do."
They don't say anything. Aoyama tries to blast me with his navel laser and I summon a wall of solid shadows in front of me. I walk closer to them and I control the shadows behind them. I wrap them around the heroes and tighten them since the heroes can't feel shadows. I solidify the shadows and lift them and pull them closer. Ashido tries to dissolve the shadows but can't since shadows can't be destroyed. I wrap them in the capturing tape after pilling them to me.
"Villains win!"
We all head back to the surveillance room.
"Congratulations on winning both times," All Might tells us.
"Thanks."
"Class dismissed. Midoriya, meet me in the staff lounge," he says and runs off.
Izuku and I head to the staff lounge after visiting Recovery Girl and find All Might on the couch.
"What did you want to talk about?" Izuku asks.
"You know your eyes change color when you take someone's quirk, right?"
"It does?"
"Yes, anyway, All Might, are you going to tell Izuku about AFO?"
"Master, she's talking about you," I hear through the earpiece.
"What?" All Might says.
"Just added another thing to why I dislike you. You won't even tell your successor who your enemy is."
"How do you even know about All For One?"
"Um... I ran into some older villains and they talked about him right before you met Izuku."
"Smooth," Shigaraki says.
"Who's All For One?" Izuku asks.
"Will you tell him or should I?"
"I'll tell him. I didn't want you to know about him yet."
"Couldn't that get him killed?"
"I guess. All For One is my greatest enemy and the reason I wanted to talk with you is because of your additional quirk."
"Guess I wasn't quirkless."
"Yes well, your quirk reminds me of All For One's. He can steal and give quirks."
"So like what I can do."
"Yes, but he needs to touch someone to steal the quirk, whereas, you just need to look at them."
"Oh. Okay. Is that all?"
"Yes."
"Bye," Izuku and I both say as we leave.
As we're walking to the station, Izuku says, "It's so cool that you're already a popular hero."
"Thanks. It's all because of connections that I was able to get my hero license permit two years ago."
"Your parents. Right?"
"Yup. This year I'm gonna get my hero license. Then I'll be a pro while still in school."
"That's so cool."
"I'll see you tomorrow," I say as we get to Izuku's apartment complex.
"Bye."
As I'm walking home Shigaraki says, "I'm going to be in town tomorrow."
"Oh, so you are. I'll be at school for the whole day, but maybe after we can meet up."
"Sure."
"My friend's coming into town tomorrow," I tell my parents after I get home.
"Who?" Dad asks.
"Shiggy. The friend I made last year in Kamino around this time."
"Oh, yeah, I remember," my father says.
"I'm going to meet up with him tomorrow after school. Did you know that Shoto has met him?"
"No. When did he?"
"Oh, you know the day we got back and Katsuki pushed me into a wall and set off two explosions on my shoulders."
"He did what?" my parents both shout.
"Yeah, see," I say showing my shoulders to them. "The scars are from a second-degree burn. None of the teachers at school ever did anything about his bullying. Only Izuku, and I did. On that day Shoto and I were hanging out and then I bumped into him. After Katsuki attacked me Shiggy was in town and actually threatened Katsuki."
"How come we never learned of your burn until now?" Dad asks.
"Because Shoto treated it."
"Well, I guess it's fine if you hang out with him."
"Okay, thanks."
"You'll just need to be careful at night."
"Don't worry, I can handle myself."
