Yuko laughed along with Eijiro and Hanta, at the ash blonde shaking with anger. "Stop laughing! My hair's gotten used to it, so it won't go back even after I wash it." The three continued their laughing fit, tears forming in the corners of the female's eyes, while ignoring the raging blonde. Although she had been with Katsuki for a week, giving her enough time to see the male, with his usually spiked hair, much neater and smoothed down, but she never actually had time to laugh at him about it, and she found it hilarious how it wouldn't return to normal.
"Hey, stop laughing! I'll kill you!" Katsuki seethed at them, the three going unfazed.
"I'd like to see you try, Side-Part Boy!" Hanta joked, as Yuko leaned against a kneeling Eijiro.
"What'd you say?!" At that, Katsuki's hair returned to its normal spiky form. This caused Yuko and the two males to laugh harder, she now holding her abdomen, from laughing so hard.
"It's back!"
"Wow, you even got to fight villains? I'm so jealous!" The black haired dragon rider heard Mina shout to Kyouka, as she ducked away from the grip of the seething blonde.
"I just helped people evacuate and did logistical support, so I didn't do any actual fighting, though." The short haired female replied, twirling her earphone jack around her finger.
"It's still amazing, though!" Yuko's pink skinned friend insisted.
"All I did was train and go on patrols, too. There was just one time when we caught smugglers from a neighboring country." Tsuyu added into the conversation, a finger placed on her chin in thought.
"That's crazy!" Mina and Kyouka synchronized, looking at the frog Quirked female with wide eyes.
"What about you, Ochako? How was your week?" The green haired female asked the brunette.
"It was very worthwhile..." Ochako breathed out, punching at the air.
"Ochako's awakened, huh?"
"She went to that battle hero's place, right?"
"That's a huge a change for just one week..." Denki commented from his spot next to Minoru, who sat atop his desk.
"Change? That's not it, Kaminari." The short male waved his finger at the blonde, electric Quirked male. "Women are all demons. They're just hiding their true personalities." He bit at his nail, a look of horror on his face.
"What did you see at Mt. Lady's place?!" The blonde grabbed the male's wrist, stopping his nail biting, "I was kind of fawned over and had a good time. But the one's who changed the most, or at least went through the most were you three, right?" Denki looked over at Tenya, Shoto, and Izuku.
"Oh yeah, The Hero Killer!" Hanta spoke up, as he hung from Katsuki's grip on his collar.
"I'm glad you guys made it out alive! Seriously!" Eijiro added, as he too was hanging from his collar in the ash blonde's grip.
Yuko, -who was hiding behind the teacher's podium- stood, nodding, agreeing with Eijiro.
"I was worried." Momo placed a hand on her chest, with a worried look.
"I heard Endeavor saved you, right?" Asked Mashirao, walking up to them.
"That's amazing! As expected from the number two hero!" Mina excitedly commented.
"Yeah. He saved us." Shoto answered, as he looked down at the desk.
"Yeah." Izuku agreed.
"I saw on the new that the hero killer was connected to the League of Villains. Imagining someone that scary coming to USJ, freaks me out." Mashirao rubbed the back of his neck.
"He is scary, but did you see the video, Ojiro?" Denki defended.
"Video? You mean of the Hero Killer?" The tail quirked male asked.
"Yeah." The blonde nodded, "seeing that, you can see how he's really single-minded and, like, tenacious. Doesn't it almost make you think he's cool?" With the last comment, Yuko walked up to Denki and smacked the back of his head, at the same time Izuku called out, "Kaminari!"
"Ow! Huh? Oh, Ii--Sorry!" Denki apolgized, holding a hand in front of his mouth.
"No, it's fine. It's true that he was tenacious." The blue haired male looked down at his left arm, with a almost far away look. "I understand how people could think he's cool. Cut he chose purging as a result of his beliefs. No matter what he thinks, that part is definitely wrong." Yuko shifted on her feet at the sudden shift in the atmosphere. "In order to keep anyone else from turning out like me, I will once again walk on the path to becoming a hero!"
"Yeah Iida!"
"Now, it is time to commence class! Everyone take your seats!"
{·}{}{·}
"Okay! I am here!" All Might exclaimed, "anyway, we'll start now. Right. It's hero basics training! Long time no see, boys and girls! How've you been? For this time's hero basic training--Since you've all just gotten back from your internships, we'll have some fun with a rescue training race!"
"If we are doing rescue training, then shouldn't we do that at the USJ?" Tenya asked with his hand raised.
"That place is for disasters. Do you remember what I said? That's right! I said 'race'!" He gestured behind them, "this is Field Gamma! A dense area filled with factories laid out like an intricate labyrinth. You'll break up into four 5-person groups and go through the training one group at a time. When I send out a distress signal from somewhere inside, you'll all start at once from the outskirts of the city! It's a race to see who will rescue me first! Of course, you'll have to keep damage to buildings to a minimum." All Might explained, pointing at Katsuki during the last comment.
"Don't point at me!" Katsuki scoffed, looking away with his arms crossed, causing Yuko to give a muffled chuckle.
"All right, first group, get in place!"
{·}{}{·}
"Iida hasn't completely recovered yet, right? He should just watch."
"This group has everyone in the class with good mobility."
"Perhaps Midoriya is at a slight advantage."
"That's true. Honestly, I'm still not sure how good he is. And whenever he does something, he always gets badly injured..."
"Who do you think'll win?" Eijiro asked, staring at the screen, "I think Sero'll be first!" Eijiro grinned, as Yuko nodded from beside the redhead, agreeing with him.
"But Ojiro's there, too!" Denki shrugged, looking at the two with a smirk-like-smile.
"I think it'll be Ashido. She's really athletic." Minoru vocalized his opinion.
"Deku will be last!" Katsuki decided to add, only to go ignored.
"Even if he's injured, I still think it'll be Iida." Ochako commented from her spot on the ground, next to Tsu, the greenette giving a nod as her agreement with the brunette.
"Okay, here we go! Start!"
"See, look!" Eijiro yelled, grinning at the screen as Hanta swung from his tape. Yuko grinned as well, placing her hands on her hips, "in a place all jumbled together like this, it's a standard practice to go up!"
"Which means, Sero's got an advantage since he's good in the air, huh?" Mezo added from behind them.
"Wow, Midoriya?! What's with those moves?" The greenette, everyone surprised to see, was jumping from along the pipes, green light, that looked like lighting, surrounding his figure.
"Wow! He's hopping...like..." Yuko heard Ochako trail off, the black haired dragon rider, looking over at a certain ash blonde.
{·}{}{·}
Yuko walked into a all too familiar clearing, spinning in one big circle, before she placed her hands on her hips, giving a small huff. She had been looking around for a certain large black scaled reptile, but had found no sign of her best friend.
"Where is that big lug?" She mumbled to herself, as she looked over the sea of trees in front of her, before a gust of hot air hit her back. She blinked, before a grin broke onto her face, turning to the dragon, that towered over her.
"Hey there bud." She placed a hand on the creature's much larger head, soft hands meeting rough scales. Night gave a soft growl towards the female, giving his own greeting.
Yuko's grin fell slightly as she looked into the ruby eyes of the supposed mythical creature. "Sorry we haven't hung out much Night. School is really time consuming, especially since I'm training to be a hero." The male beast gave a growl, resting the end of its snout against the female's abdomen, causing her to stumble slightly, before regaining her footing. Yuko gave a soft chuckle, as she rubbed her hand against the dragon's head.
"Yeah..."
