Chapter 5: A defining Battle
"Do you have your tissue?"
"Yeah."
"And your handkerchief, right?"
"Stop worrying. I have everything. I'm going."
"Izuku wait!"
"Yes"
"I'm so proud of you. I wish I didn't look down on you when you were younger. I love you"
"Me too".
~U.A. High school~
"Class 1-A, Class 1-A, Class 1-A".
Izuku stopped at the door that had a huge 1-A printed on it. "Hmm, this can't be Class 1-A, right~? How can't I find one huge door in this entire building".
Izuku stopped himself before opening the door.
'God i hope i'm not with Kacchan or the kid with a discount Rem haircut'.
Izuku opened the door only to Bakugou arguing with the blue-haired boy.
"Don't put your feet on the desk!"
"What?"
"Don't you think that's rude to the U.A. upperclassmen who made this desk"
"Pff. No. What junior high did you go to?"
"I attended Somei Private Academy. My name is Tenya Iida"
"Somei? Some damn elite, huh? I'm going to enjoy crushing you"
"Crush? Are you sure you're in the right place? Wait, it's you".
Everyone turned to see Izuku who looked annoyed at their arguing.
"Good morning. I'm from Somei Private Academy. My name is "
"I don't care".
Iida stopped in his tracks.
"I'm simply just presenting myself"
"Why? A few days ago, you got on my nerves"
"You knew something extra about the exam. About the rescue points"
"I have no clue what you're talking about"
"when you saved that girl from the zero-pointer. You knew about Rescue Points"
"Wait, are you saying that I only saved that girl for some extra points? Number one, I didn't know about the points. Number two, I went to save her son, she could live, not for some stupid reward after. And finally, Number three, if that's how you see heroes then, the door is that way. Stay out of my way and rethink about what a hero is".
Everyone in the room was surprised at this conversation. Some even found Izuku… interesting.
"Hey, I know that hair. It's you, Izuku"
"Hey, Ochaco"
"If you're here to socialize get out".
Izuku looked behind Ochaco to see a man in a yellow sleeping bag.
"This is the hero course. I'm your teacher, call me Mr. Aizawa. Get into these uniforms and meet me outside on the field".
Izuku caught a blue U.A. uniform and was curious about what this was about.
~The Field~
"A Quirk Assignment Test"?!
The entire class spoke in perfect sync. Ochaco spoke up
"What about the orientation?"
"Me training you all is more important. This is the perfect opportunity for testing your Quirks".
Aizawa looked towards Izuku and spoke.
"I saw you in the exam. How many meters did you get from your softball throw?"
"I got 87 Meters"
"Alright, now I want you to use you're Quirk with this".
Izuku grabbed the ball and stood in a circle. He pulled back his arm and threw it with all his might.
"Hmm, 143 meters. Not bad. Now use your Quirk this time"
"Quirk? I don't have one".
Everyone stood there shocked at what they heard. Everyone except, Bakugou and Ochaco.
"That's so cool. This test looks like it's going to be fun"
"Fun, huh? Alright, whoever gets last in this test, will be considered to have no potential and will be expelled".
Everyone stood there silent.
"Alright".
Everyone looked at Izuku.
"That seems reasonable"
"You aren't worried."
"I may be Quirkless but, I can guarantee that I'm going on the top 10"
"Confident much."
"I've been training for 8 years non-stop. This is just proving how far I've come".
Everyone looked at Izuku in awe. Aizawa smirked and opened his mouth. "Alright, If you don't make it to the top 10 I'll expel you and the others will be safe"
"If I'm in the Top 10 no one is getting expelled, deal"
"Deal".
Izuku went back to his group. Everyone in the class was trying to process what just happened. Izuku just risked his place in U.A. for everyone else. They were all more interested in Izuku… including a certain red-white hair colored boy.
Test 1: 50 Meter Dash
Izuku was paying attention to his other classmates. Iida cleared the run in 3.04 seconds while a girl named Tsuyu got 5.58 seconds. He saw Ochaco and Ojiro were next. Ochaco used her Quirk to lighten her clothes but, still got 7.15 seconds while Ojiro got 5.49 seconds. Izuku and Bakugou were next. Izuku got into a running stance while Bakugou put his hands behind him with a few sparks coming from his hands. Both smirked and once they heard were told to go… they were off. Bakugou sent explosions from his palms which created smokescreens to cover Izuku but, Izuku was still on his tail. "Bakugou, you got 4.13. Izuku you got 5.03 seconds". Everyone was once more surprised.
Test 2: Grip Strength
Izuku used gripped with all his might and got a score of 100.7 Kg. He saw Shoji get a score of 540.0 Kg. Izuku was still proud to get such a high score.
Test 3: Standing Long Jump
Bakugou used his explosions, Aoyama used his laser, and Izuku got into a running position and cleared the sandbox with a swift front-flip. 'All those years of jumping from rooftop to rooftop are paying off. Man spider-man would be proud'.
Test 4: Repeated Side-Steps
Izuku was taking Notes of Mineta who seemed to have a weird yet unique Quirk
Test 5: Ball Throw
Bakugou used his Explosion Quirk which gained him a score of 705.2 Meters. This would have been the highest score if it wasn't for Ochaco who got an unbelievable score of Infinity!
Test 6: Sit-ups
Izuku did 67 Sit-ups without breaking a sweat in under a minute. He came in second place behind Sato who got 121 Sit-ups thanks to his Sugar Rush Quirk.
Test 7: Seated toe-touch
Izuku reached his toes thanks to his flexible body from parkour training.
Test 8: Distance Run
Everyone got into a running position. Once they were allowed to go, everyone sprinted off. Izuku was leading everyone until Iida, Bakugou, Sato, and Todoroki. Izuku how fast they were going so, he kicked it into high gear. Izuku passed Sato and Todoroki but, failed to catch up to Iida and Bakugou. 'Damn It'.
~The center of the Field~
Everyone was ready to see the results. Izuku stood there feeling confident.
'If my calculations are correct, I should at least be 8th place. We'll just have to see'.
Aizawa walked towards the group.
"Here are your results".
Aizawa put a holograph in front of them which showed the rankings.
1. Momo Yaoyorozu
2. Shoto Todoroki
3. Katsuki Bakugou
4. Izuku Midoriya
5. Tenya Iida
6. Fumikage Tokoyami
7. Mezo Shoji
8. Mashirao Ojiro
9. Eijiro Kirishima
10. Mina Ashido
11. Ochaco Uraraka
12. Koji Koda
13. Rikido Sato

15. Yuga Aoyama
16. Hanta Sero
17. Denki Kaminari
18. Kyoka Jiro
19. Toru Hagakure
20. Minoru Mineta
Everyone was relieved and surprised that Izuku got into the top 5! Even Izuku was surprised with himself, he actually smiled for his hard work. This was interrupted by a pissed off Bakugou.
"What the hell are you smiling at Deku?!"
"Can you stop screaming for one minute?"
"Don't tell me what to do! I'm still better than you!"
"Ok."
"Don't forget it".
Izuku couldn't help but, agree. Bakugou was in front of him in the test. Izuku however, knew many of Bakugou's weaknesses. The day ended and Izuku was getting ready to go home.
"Hey, wait for me".
Izuku turned around to see Ochaco running towards him.
"Hey, Ochaco. What is it?"
"Do you want to walk together?"
"Sure."
"Cool, thanks Deku".
Izuku froze at the name. "Um… what?"
"Isn't that what Bakugou called you?"
"Oh yeah. He calls me that to make fun of me."
"Really? It sounds Japanese for "You can do it" So, i kind of like it."
"Oh, um. You can call me Deku if you want. I don't really mind it. I simply use that name as a motivator."
"Then, Deku it is". Both walked together becoming more closer friends.
~The next day~
Izuku was happy to be back in this class. Finally, he could study without any distractions.
"I"
'No'
"Am"
'No, No, No'
"HERE!"
'Fuck... '.
Izuku put his attention to the door. "... Coming through the door like a hero"!
Everyone was excited and surprised to see All Might there. Everyone… except for Izuku. Izuku couldn't help but, stare him down. All Might took notice of this.
'I really need to apologize but, right now, I must be a teacher and help the others'.
All Might look towards the others. "The rumors are true. I am going to be teaching at U.A. Today's Lesson will be… Combat Training! And this training can't be done without style. Your hero costumes are labeled as the same number as your seat. When you are all done meet me at Ground Beta".
Izuku watched as he left but, then turned his attention to his case which had his costume along with some other things.
~Ground Beta~
"You are all heroes-in-Training! Wow! You all look so, cool"!
Everyone came out of a tunnel in their hero costumes.
"Huh? Where is young Midoriya?"
"I think he's still putting on his costume"
"No. I just finished".
Izuku came out of the tunnel with his hero costume. 'Holy shit Deku'?!
Izuku was wearing an extremely dark green spandex suit with a silver pattern surrounding him. He had jet black combat boots with iron soles for extra power. He had black gloves with silver bracelets that were his Grappling hooks. Those weren't the only gadgets he had. He had a dark red belt which had many useful items. This included smoke bombs, a small army knife, a taser, and a pocket-sized battle staff. When he presses a button on the staff, it transforms into a 3.5 ft titanium staff. He also had a metal retainer which doubled as a gas mask. He also had a hood for extra stealth points.
Everyone looked at him in amazement. Even All Might was amazed by this costume. Bakugou looked at him. Even he had to admit he looked a little cool.
"So, are we going to start the exercise or what?"
"Right. For this class, you'll be split up into villains and heroes and fight 2-on-2 in indoor battles". The team was then, assigned.
Team A~ Izuku Midoriya and Ochaco Uraraka
Team B~ Shoto Todoroki and Menzu Shoji
Team C~ Minoru Mineta and Momo Yaoyorozu
Team D~ Katsuki Bakugou and Tenya Lida
Team E~ Mina Ashido and Yuga Aoyama
Team F~ Kouji Koda and Rikido Sato
Team G~ Denki Kaminari and Kyoka Jiro
Team H~ Fumikage Tokoyami and Tsuyu Asui
Team I~ Mashirao Ojiro and Toru Hagakure
Team J~ Hanta Sero and Eijiro Kirishima.
"Wow, this must be fate! I'm counting on you Deku"
"I couldn't ask for a better partner. I'm counting on you too".
All Might then, pulled out two teams. The teams competing first were A and D. Izuku was more than excited. He could finally compete against Bakugou and can beat the control freak. Bakugou seemed happy too… he did look menacing happy. It looked like he was going to kill someone.
~Battle Building A~
Bakugou and Iida went into the building to prepare. Izuku and Ochaco were left outside to figure out a strategy.
"Ochaco. I think I have a plan."
"Really? That was quick what is it"
"Here's what I predict. Bakugou and I have a sort of rivalry so, he's most likely going to go after me. If he does come, I need you to escape and find the bomb while I deal with him. His fighting style is pretty predictable. When you find the bomb, contact me and hide. Iida will most likely try to take this as serious as possible so, be cautious and wait till I arrive for a 2-on-1".
Ochaco was surprised how fast Izuku came up with a plan. Izuku put on his retainer and hood. "Well, let's get started".
~Monitor Room~
Everyone was ready to watch the battle. But, more importantly, watch Izuku.
"I still can't be somebody Quirkless wanted to be a hero, or get into U.A. at that".
Everyone agreed with Kirishima. All Might then, spoke up. "There's a lot of potential in that boy. He did get 1st place in the entrance exam. I'm very interested in how he will fight to be honest".
~Battle Building A~
Both Izuku and Ochaco entered the building silently. "Stay quiet".
Izuku stayed close to the walls making sure to avoid Bakugou. "Deku"!
Bakugou launched himself with an explosion and tried to hit Izuku. Izuku jumped out of the way and put Ochaco behind him.
"I knew it. Ochaco, Go!"
"Right! Good luck!".
Izuku stared at Bakugou. He felt that half his mask was burned off.
"Well, let's start. Kacchan".
Izuku ran towards him and Bakugou launched himself with another explosion.
~Monitor Room~
"He avoided it!"
"What's going on now? All I see is a smoke cloud".
The smoke cleared to see a bloody nose Bakugou and a burned Izuku.
"How did Izuku survive that?!"
"So, manly. He took an explosion to the face"!
All Might was shocked at what he was witnessing. 'Why did I doubt him? I still feel like he will get hurt but'.
~Battle Building A~
Izuku was keeping his distance while still dealing damage to Bakugou. Bakugou went for a right hook.
'Again'?
Izuku grabbed his arm and slammed him to the ground. But, that wasn't all he did. He lifted him again and slammed him to the wall.
"As much as I want to continue, I have a weapon to find".
Izuku ran keeping his distance away from Bakugou. "Get back here! Deku, you damn bastard"!
Izuku pressed his Com to contact Uraraka. "Ochaco, how's it going on your end?"
"Deku, are you Ok?"
"Fine. What about you?"
"I'm ok. I just found the weapon."
"Where?"
"The third floor. I'll wait for you".
Izuku ran faster but, was hit by another explosion. He was blown back but, with a couple of backflips, he got into a fighting stance.
"You know, I had a feeling that you would be hard to beat. If those nerds made my gauntlet like I asked, then you're in for it now, Deku".
Bakugou grabbed a pin from his grenade gauntlet and All Might's voice boomed from the speakers.
"Young Bakugou, Don't! You'll kill him!"
"Not unless he dodges".
A huge explosion then roared towards Izuku.
"Oh shit".
Izuku was blown into another room from the explosion and he dislocated his shoulder.
"Ow! fuck".
Izuku grabbed his shoulder in pain. "Bakugou! Use that weapon again and I'll disqualify your team! You severely injured Young Midoriya."
"All Might shut the fuck up"!
Both Bakugou and All Might were shocked at this. Izuku grabbed his shoulder and put it back in place.
"Stop looking down on me. I'll beat Bakugou on my own terms"!
Izuku grabbed his hooded mask and ripped it off, revealing a burned and bloody Izuku. Some of the girls in the monitor room actually blushed to see Izuku. Izuku used his grappling hook and swung towards Bakugou, kicking him in the nose. Bakugou countered with a smokescreen and then, an explosion to the back.
"How was th...Agh"!
Izuku grabbed Bakugou's face and slammed to the ground! He lifted him up and started beating him up like some martial arts dummy. He kicked Bakugou in the ribs, punched his face, and finally spun kicked him in the face, knocking him out cold.
~Monitor Room~
Kaminari was the first to react. "He just beat the shit out of him!"
"Incredible! He did that much damage as a Quirkless person".
Todoroki narrowed his eyes. "Those weren't just random blows. Each one was calculated and had enough power to simply stun Bakugou instead of killing".
All Might was still processing what just happened. 'Holy crap Young Midoriya'.
~Battle Building A~
Izuku saw how he beat Bakugou. 'Goddamn'.
He contacted Ochaco. "Uraraka, are you ok."
"Iida found me. I let my guard down for one second. We only have two minutes left! I don't think we can win."
"I have an Idea get to the entrance door, now"!
Izuku grabbed Bakugou and put him the hallway with the elimination tape. He grabbed his left Gauntlet and made his way back to the room.
"Ochaco, are you in the entrance?"
"Yes but, why?"
"Hang on to something then, jump."
"What?!"
"Now"!
Izuku pulled the pin on the gauntlet and shot his grappling hook upward. The explosion was strong enough to reach the weapon's floor.
"What the"?!
Izuku swung up and threw Iida to the room below him.
"Ochaco, catch the bomb! Make it float"!
Izuku held Uraraka on one hand and swung upwards. Uraraka touched the bomb and Izuku grabbed it putting safely on the same floor.
"Game over".
Izuku held Uraraka on one hand and touched the Bomb on the other. All Might then, spoke on the speakers. "Hero. HERO TEAM WINS"!
Uraraka felt happy but, she held something in her arms. unconscious and burned Izuku with a lot of blood flowing down his face.
12/ 3/ 18 Author's Note: Next Chapter will be the beginning of the U.S.J. Arc. There is a huge difference in this Arc, however. Shigaraki and Kurogiri have still come to kill All Might but,... OH NO SPOILERS UwU. Leave a review, Follow and Favorite! PLUS ULTRA!
