*SLAM*
"Private Green!" Bursting through the door Armie rushed inside the nurses office... as Midoriya was making a house of cards, on his lap, with a slightly wrinkled blanket as a foundation... somehow?
"Oh hey Armie." Midoriya responded, gently placing another set of cards on the fourth level. "How did the remaining matches go?"
"Your class swept the other class." Armie stated, "They felt that they needed to avenge their fallen soldier, and to silence the propaganda spreader."
'Monoma...'
"But forget all that. I see you've followed the Armie Principals."
"... Yeah I did." Midoriya replied, placing the next pair of cards on the fourth level, and reaching for the final two cards to finish the house.
"And I'm proud of you for remembering." She said, as Midoriya moved to place the last two cards, "Which is why... I believe you're due for a promotion."
*Flap* *Flap* *Flap*
"W-What?!" The jolt of surprise and excitement caused his entire house to fall, but he couldn't possibly care less.
"That's right, you've earned it."
"Does this mean I'm a Colonel?!"
"No! You haven't earned that large of a promotion for just remembering the Principals! You're still a Private, but you're officially Private First Class."
'... That's basically one rank below Colonel.' Midoriya thought before smiling anyway, "That's a pretty high honor."
"That's right, you best not let it get to your head right Private Green?!"
"Yes ma'am!"
"Excellent, now get out of that bed you lazy slug. Or else you'll be sent back down to Private!"
"Yes ma'am!"
"OOOH NO YOU DON'T!" Deciding to make her presence officially known, Recovery Girl stormed off of her seat and waved her syringe cane at the duo. "He needs to rest!"
...
...
"Private Green?"
"Yes ma'am?"
"Run."
"Right." In one swift motion, Midoriya lifted Armie onto his chest and jumped back first out of the window... even though the door was closer.
...
...
Needless to say, Recovery Girl has added her first student to her shit list.
...
*SLAM*
"Haah, the second day is now ove-"
"There you are!"
...
...
'Right, classmates... shit.'
*Fwoop*
"Huh?! H-Hey Shishida! Let me go!"
"I apologize Midoriya." Shishida commented as he carried him onto the couch, "They promised to make me a delicious steak if I complied."
"You were bribed by food?!" Midoriya yelled, before sighing, "Let me guess... it's about my second Quirk."
...
...
"SECOND QUIRK?!" The rest of the class... barring Tetsutetsu, Shiozaki, Kendou, Tsunotori, and Yanagi yelled in shock.
"... Wait a minute, did you seriously not figure out I had a second Quirk?!" Midoriya asked in shock, "I mean... I get why you didn't with my fight against Hadou, but how have you not noticed during our combat training?!"
Tokage decided to step up to the plate, "Weeeell... we were kinda too enthralled with your battle to notice."
...
...
"You're all idiots, you know that?"
"Hey I noticed!" Kendou exclaimed.
"And I play along." Tsunotori replied, which got a shocked look from Tokage.
"Wait... you knew?!"
"Yeah, when I chase he use Quirk."
"We'll work on that Tsunotori." Midoriya commented before reigning the conversation back to the original path, "But going back to the original topic... what was the point of me being Beast-Handled?!"
"Oh that, we wanted to shower you in praise and affection, but we figured you would try to run away." Tokage answered, before a massive excited grin appeared on her face, "But what you said sounds much more awesome! Tell us the deets!"
"... I'm including myself into the idiot list." Midoriya muttered, before taking a deep breath.
"Well... it all started a year ago."
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Holy shit." Fukidashi muttered.
"It took you 5 ellipsis to say that?" Midoriya asked, having told... an extremely stretched story about the events of last year.
"I mean... that's a pretty big info bomb." Tokage agreed, "I mean... you got your Quirk only a year ago, a VOLATILE Quirk at that, and yet you can do so much dumb shit with it! How do you do it?"
"Heavy duty training." Armie spoke up for the first time in a while.
"Prrretty much."
"But I have a question." Shiozaki said, raising her hand, "Why didn't you mention your second Quirk on the first night?"
"... Because I honestly expected shock, a lot of yelling, and numerous questions... but this isn't the amount of questions I was expecting, so I was wrong. My bad."
"No, I understand your point." Nirengeki commented, "I mean... I wouldn't want to be asked a bunch of questions about my two Quirks if I had them."
"Yeah, that would be annoying."
*BOOM* *CRACK*
"... Speaking of."
"DEKU!" Bakugou yelled, as he stormed his way towards Midoriya, only to be stopped by a massive hand.
"Look buddy. I don't know what kind of bad blood you have with Midoriya. But he kicked your ass, so be gracefu-"
"Let him pass."
"But Midoriya-"
"Better to rip it off now."
...
...
"Fine." She shrunk her hand and let Bakugou pass.
"Alright you Quirkle.. no that doesn't work anymore does it? You lying sack of shit!"
"Yes, I did lie to you. But what did that ultimately do?"
"I hate it when you get all philosophical like this!" Bakugou growled, gripping the collar of Midoriya's shirt, "Because you lied to me, I got complacent! I thought I was hot shit until you with your two Quirks showed up and fucked me in every way imaginable!" He yelled, before letting go of his collar, "You beat me with two Quirks, two Quirks I couldn't even prepare for! So ho-"
"Bakugou... I never used my second Quirk in our battle."
...
...
"Bullshit, yes you have!"
"I used it to destroy Yaoyorozu's cannons, but when you and I fought? I only used Agnikinesis."
"Fuck you I don't believe you!"
"Then check the vods, I shouldn't have any green sparks floating around me. And if I do... then clearly I need to train more to maintain control." Midoriya said, "So there you have it. I fought you 1 on 1, as fair as humanly possible. And you still lost."
"Y-You held back on me?" He stuttered, before pure rage filled his senses, "HOW FUCKING DARE YOU?!"
"You're mad at me for having two Quirks, and now you're mad at me for not using my second Quirk? Jeez, take that stick out of your ass."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY-"
"Instead of yelling at me, why don't you make better use of your free time to train." Midoriya said, "If you want to feel vindicated, then become strong enough to have me warrant using my other Quirk. Because the way I see you now... I can probably beat you without Agnikinesis."
Bakugou wanted to respond, he was willing to give up everything in his possession to counter his statement... but he couldn't. Deep down, he knew he was right. The damned nerd he thought of as weak, shot past him like a bullet, and as much as he wanted to blame it on his lies... he knew it was his fault for not training himself seriously. He let out a frustrated growl before turning away, "Don't think this is fucking over Deku... Mark my words I will kick your ass so hard... it will... damn it just know I'll beat you!" With one last declaration, he stormed off back to the 1-A dorms... leaving 1-B to reel from this event.
...
...
"I don't even fucking know how to deal with this." Awase muttered, pointing at the entryway. "I mean, he destroyed our door!"
Midoriya sighed... before his phone started to buzz, "It's time I take Armie to the front gate. Y'all find me some nails, a hammer, and a bunch of duct tape. I'll fix the door in a sec-"
"That won't be necessary." The entire class turned to the Cement Hero: Cementoss, who is currently removing the pieces from the once proud door, "Luckily we have spare doors should something like this happen, I can fix this door in no time at all. All the while you should take Armie to the front gate."
"Thanks Cementoss."
"Not a problem."
...
"Haaah..." Midoriya muttered as he soaked in his nice steamy bath for an extraordinary amount of time, "Ice baths are fantabulous, but I haven't had a hot bath in a looong whi-"
"We need to talk."
...
...
"Yanagi, is this going to be a common thing with you?"
"Hopefully this will be the last time."
"Is it about my Quirk again?"
"No... it's about the Battle Training."
"... Go on?"
"I want you to be genuine with me Midoriya." She started, before looking him dead in the eyes, "Am I weak?"
"... My answer is obviously no. But I'm sure there's a reason why you're asking."
"... It's because I was useless during that whole battle. Tetsutetsu held off Todoroki until his iron shell caved, Shiozaki kept Iida moving, you distracted Bakugou and beat him, giving us the victory. All the while I was forced into hiding while Yaoyorozu fired artillery at me."
"Yanagi, no one can take a cannonball to the body. I sure as hell can't, Shiozaki couldn't, Tetsutetsu... probably? The jury is still out on that one. Look, the point is... we had our man-"
"Yes and I couldn't defeat her-"
"Yanagi... what was our plan?"
"To capture the enemy?"
"Well yeah, but remember when I said it wasn't the be all end all? Sure, I would have loved to sweep that team to rub it in Monoma's face, but we didn't have all the bits of information we needed to accomplish that goal. Not to mention Bakugou had it out for me, asides from that everyone else had someone suited for them... while you were saddled with the wild card. So if anything, I should be apologizing to you."
"W-What for?"
"For ignoring my advice. Help each other out." Midoriya said, "I could have smashed her cannons and gave you a chance to escape, but I was too busy with Bakugou. I left you hanging... so sorry."
...
...
"It's not your fault." Yanagi replied.
"And it wasn't yours either, so... how about we forget this ever happened. It was a fluke, a bad set of circumstances."
"... I agree with that." Yanagi said with a small smile.
"Good, because next time we gotta beat them up reeeal good. And maybe I'll actually use Shiozaki's vine. I legit forgot about it."
"Speaking of, I need to ask... why did you need that vine?"
"... I wanted to use Tetsutetsu as a ball and chain." Midoriya answered, "*Sigh* Oh well, not much we can do about that now."
...
...
An awkward silence filled the atmosphere... the awkwardness value increasing with the realization that one of them is naked in a tub.
"So can you like... leave?" Piercing the tense air, a red faced Midoriya asked for a simple favor, "For the same reason as last time?"
"O-Oh." Equally as red Yanagi nodded, "I-I will leave now."
"S-Sounds good." Midoriya stuttered as Yanagi exited the boy's shower room... letting Midoriya finally relax. With no distractions what so eve-
*Fwoop*
"Hey Midoriya, Tamaki needs your help with something. See you outside."
*Fwoop*
...
...
I... spoke too soon.
*Slam*
"What happened? Why does Amajiki need help? Why is the sky black?"
"It's night time." Amajiki said before showing him his 3DS, "And I need help on this level."
*Tick* *Tock* *Tick* *Tock* *Diiing*
"You barged into my bath for this?!"
"Umm, yeah?"
"... Okay come inside."
...
"... So are we going to question why Midoriya is only in his boxers, and the muscular blonde only has a towel?"
"Believe it or not this is normal for them." Yanagi muttered, looking away from the scene in front of her.
"Huh... is that so?" She asked... before a massive smirk formed on her face, "Then how big is-"
*Fwomp* *Thud*
"HAHAHA!"
"T-That is private information!" Midoriya yelled, throwing a throw pillow at Tokage, who in turn started laughing maniacally.
"Hmm... when I saw it was like... 6?"
"Why do you keep doing this to me!" A red faced Midoriya yelled as he continuously whacked Hadou with another throw pillow, "Why is it every time I'm interacting with other students you always bring this up! HADOU!"
"Because it's funny seeing you all red faced. I mean with those freckles and your green hair you look like a strawberry-"
*FWOOSH*
...
...
"Aaand, he's gone." Hadou commented, before Haya grabbed her earlobe and started pulling, "Oww oww hey!"
"This is punishment for embarrassing him." Haya scolded.
"But I don't understand, 6 inches isn't that big."
"Well if I remember correctly. The average penis size for men is roughly... 5? Yeah 5. And science says that most orgasms for women occur on the clitoris, which is located above the vaginal opening-"
"Okay, new question... how do you know this?" Tokage asked, cutting off Haya's lesson about the male anatomy.
"One Proper Noun, Midnight."
"... Okay fair enough."
"Yeah, it's a common misconception that size matters... when in reality it doesn't. Just because most erotic literature depicts a 'big' penis size to be 7 to 8 inches... is just wrong and almost unattainable, since the chance for men to have a penis that big is like... 5%? And besides the average depth of a vagina is 3 to 4 inches unless you're aroused which then becomes 4 to 8 inches, again everyone's different."
"Huh, this went from teasing to an actual biology lesson. I was honestly not expecting this."
"But back to you." Haya said as she continued to pull on Hadou's ear, "He has fragile emotions you should know this!"
"... Wait he does?" Yanagi asked, to which Haya nodded.
"Oh yeah. He gets angry and frustrated very easily, and as you just saw he embarrasses easily too."
"Really?"
"Yup, he's a natural born hothead. Most people will see that as a weakness... but honestly? I think that's one of his biggest strengths." She explained before reclining into the couch, "He sees someone he cares about getting picked on? He rushes face first into danger to save them. If he loses a sparring match, he will work day in and day out to get better. That little brat... he puts on a strong face but he hates failure more than anything." She muttered, before getting off of the couch, "Anyway, it's almost time for curfew. Mirio, go to your dorm... and you!"
"Oww oww!"
"No more crashing into my dorm room for a week." Haya said, as she dragged Hadou out of the 1-B dorms, with Mirio following close behind.
"See you two later!"
...
...
"Amajiki? Are you going to-" Yanagi's statement was cut off by a familiar happy jingle, as Amajiki looked up from the handheld.
"... I beat the level."
...
*Crunch* *Crunch* *Crunch*
"Here it is... the scene of the crime." Two days have passed since the Battle Training, as Midoriya started a personal investigation of what he liked to call 'The Front Gate Incident'.
"... Dust, source? The gate. Erratic footprints, cause? The Press. Most of that checks out... but that doesn't explain, why." Midoriya told himself, ditching class to investigate the front gate, "Why would the Press do something that could tarnish the credibility of them and their articles, not to mention land them in jail for breaking into U.A of all places? The answer is simple... they wouldn't. Bugging underage hero students is one thing, breaking and entering is another. Meaning... there must be a third party involved."
"Interesting take Mr. Midoriya."
"Gah!" Midoriya jumped forward and turned around on high alert, only to calm down once he saw who it was, "Oh Principal Nezu it's just you."
"Indeed it is! I'm here to investigate the gate incident." Principal Nezu said, "But do you have evidence on your 'Third Party' theory?"
"... It's still only conjecture, we don't know any of the Quirks the members of the Press had. But if I had to guess... it has to be either a rusting Quirk, since the gate is metal, or overall disintegration. However, we don't have anything on hand that could give us a cluuu..." He trailed off as he looked up to see a lone camera, "Right... cameras. I'll be right back."
*Fwoosh*
...
...
*Fwoosh*
"I'm back." Midoriya brought his laptop and a cord, he plugged it into the outlet that was located conveniently beneath the camera. Once he was all set up he began typing away, and with a sense of curiosity Principal Nezu stood behind him to watch... until.
*Beep*
"Done. I hacked into the school's network and camera feeds."
"Impressive... and it seems I'll need to do a complete system overhaul. But that's neither here nor there, pull up the feed from the gate camera."
"Rodger"
*Click* *Click* *Fwong*
...
...
*Click*
"There, that person just walked into the crowd."
"Does he look like a reporter?"
"Unless reporters started wearing black hoodies to go incognito, then I don't think so." Midoriya said before slowly moving ahead to where the gate was destroyed, "And not even a minute after he joined the crowd the gate was destroyed. If any of the other reporters wanted to try this they would have, instead of wasting hours of their lives yelling for an interview."
"... Accurate. But what is this intruder after?"
"Beats me, I'm going to pull up every single camera feed and... holy God there are 60 of them."
...
...
"Alright, we'll start with 1 through 10."
...
"Okay, sequence of events. Ran through the hallway with Camera 8, 9, and ran up the stars with camera 10. Then ran through Camera 11, 12, 13, 14, and stopped at 15 to turn a wooden door into dust. Which butchers the theory about him having a rusting Quirk but strengthens overall disintegration." Midoriya explained before looking at Principal Nezu, "Was there anything of note in that room?"
...
...
"That's a small filing room. It contains schedules for the upcoming weeks, forms for funding, and it once held the students' Quirks, but we moved those into safer locations... good thing we did."
"Tell me about it- Wait, schedules?"
"... Oh, I understand now."
"Is there anything important upcoming. Anything at all."
"... The USJ."
"The what now?"
"It's a location off campus to simulate different types of disasters. Class 1-A is scheduled to attend while Class 1-B is attending a seminar with Recovery Girl covering onsite first aid."
"When is this happening?"
"... Today."
"So odds are that man and... whatever friends in low places he has is going to attack the USJ. So the best course of action..."
"Is to have as much fire power as possible."
"Right, is All Might here?"
...
...
"He used all of this time didn't he?"
"Yes."
"... Okay, fine. I'm going to smack him with the closest thing I can find." Midoriya muttered, angry that All Might broke his promise not even 3 days into his tenure, "Reschedule the Onsite First Aid class and make the USJ a joint event."
"I'll order another bus immediately. However... is Eraserhead, Vlad King, and Thirteen enough?"
"Of course not, but we can't bring everyone. We need to make it seem we had a slight change in schedule, that way they'll be caught off guard but won't leave. We need to catch them before they cause too much damage and escape."
"... I reiterate my question. Is 3 pro heroes enough?"
"Of course not, that's why I have a trump card." Midoriya pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
*Bzz* *Bzz* *Click*
"Midoriya? Why are ya callin' durin' class?"
"I-"
*Swipe*
"Mr. Fat Gum, a pleasure to speak with you this fine afternoon."
...
...
"What did he do this time?"
"Oh he hasn't done anything bad, if anything... he might have saved his classmates."
"... Go on?"
"I'll let him explain."
Nezu handed back the phone to Midoriya, "I'm back."
"Run me through everythin'"
"Okay. A cloaked person broke into U.A and stole some schedules. We have reason to believe they're going to bring a group to the USJ."
"... Those are all serious offenses. But why do ya think this guy's gonna attack ya school?"
"Him/her broke into the U.A Gate. Not only that but he used the swarming Press to sneak inside and steal some documents from a small filing room. If this was a simple prank for attention then why did he use a Press as cover and not make a big deal out of it?"
...
...
"Fair enough. And I assume the reason you're callin' me is because you'll need my help?"
"Yes, but we need to plan this out. We don't want to just defeat this person, but we want to capture them and send a message. However that won't workout if a big name hero like you... who has no prior connection to U.A asides from internships, shows up out of the blue. It might scare them off."
"... Alright I see the logic. What's yer plan?"
"I'll call you right before we go inside. I don't know how long it'll take you to get here, but 20-30 minutes should be enough time for you to barge in. With all of us fighting they wouldn't escape... or rather, we won't let them."
"This is a pretty big risk ya know?"
"I know, but it's a good roll of the dice. And besides, while I'm sure I can handle it you'll be there to back me up in case I can't."
"... Fine, I trust ya."
"Thanks Fa-"
"But I'm bringing Tamaki with me."
"Sure if you want to completely annihilate the enemy go for it."
"HAHAHA! Alright Midoriya, see you then."
"Right."
*Click*
...
...
"So what do you require from the U.A Staff Midoriya?"
"As much as I want to say we don't need you, better to be safe than sorry. Follow the same plan as Fat Gum, no better idea. If All Might gets enough strength to actually accomplish something start heading over. If not then arrive in... 40 minutes when we arrive."
"Understood." Principal Nezu said... before patting his shoulder, "You've done a great job here today, maybe you should have been the 1-B's Class Rep."
...
...
"Kendou will do a better job than I will. And don't praise me yet... we're nowhere near done."
*End of Chapter*
