Light bathed her entire body, and she almost reeled back. She stopped abruptly to shield her eyes with her hands. It wasn't like the light was bothering her before, how irritating. Someone bumped into her as she stood petrified by the sun, causing her to stumble forwards a little. The other students moved past her.

Maribel caught herself with her left foot and balanced herself out to a normal standing position, relaxed and looked over her shoulder. What was that just now? She thought as she laid her eyes on the boy who just crashed into her. A deep sigh escaped her.

"I didn't mean it!" He yelped in her direction, raising his arms a little as to protect himself and make some distance. From what she could see of his face, he was distressed, probably not used to talking to a girl.

I recognize that voice. She thought, carrying a poker face.

"We're all here then? You kids are looking good!" All Might's dominating voice pierced all conversation, forcing her to stop talking before she even began.

"There's nothing to worry about." She said, pretty much disinterested in his apologies. She did not know what just happened to her, but she'll have to investigate it later. Maribel looked back to her classmates and caught up to the rest of them. Lining up before All Might and next to a student wearing a black cloak as a costume. There was some chatter coming from the people behind her, a little shouting, but it quickly silenced when the hero before them spoke again. Her eyes drifted right to him, bombarding her with an overwhelming spiritual presence of power, causing her to feel very intimidated.

"Let's see what you're made of you kids! It's time for the trial of battle!" He yelled out at the class. Maintaining an idle pose, undaunted by any questions.

"We appear to be using the same field as the entrance exam..." Maribel heard Tenya's voice and glanced to her right, he was wearing a suit of armor. It made him look like a European knight. To her it felt it a little awkward, causing her to blush a little with her eyes drifting to the pavement. Then back to Tenya once again. "...Are we going to be fighting in an urban setting?"

"Hah, no! You'll be moving onto the next step, indoor anti-personnel battle training!" All Might told them all. He held his arm up to his chest, getting everyone's attention. "Villain battles are most commonly seen on the street, but by statistics you're more likely to find them indoors. Be it confinement, house arrest or black market. Here in Japan the most clever villains keep themselves indoors." He then snapped his arm back into place, balancing it against his waist by his knuckle. "NOW! You'll be split into villain and hero teams and face off in two-on-two indoor battles!"

There was some confusion among the crowd. Maribel wasn't sure if they were going to be taught strategy or actual fighting technique, but now she thought this was more like another evaluation.

"We're not getting taught the basics?" Tsuyu cut through All Might's words with clear confusion in her voice.

"Practical experience teaches you the basics! Know you won't be facing any disposable robots here." He said, still as confident as ever. Immediately a bunch of questions started rolling in:
"How do you win?"
"Will this include the threat of expulsion?"
"How are teams divided?"
...And so on.

Maribel recognized all these voices but hardly cared who it was, the amount of disruption was starting to get irritating. "Just let sensei finish!" She yelled out, she didn't sound particularly angry, but it shut everyone up.

"Thanks for that." All Might gave her a thumbs up and she smiled. Her ears picked up some familiar groveling from one of the boys, but she didn't mind. All Might procured a tiny piece of paper, unfolded it and then lowered it after taking a quick look. He summarized everything like he had memorized it all instantly. "Here's the scenario. The villains will be hiding a nuclear weapon in the hideout!" He suddenly pointed at them all and continued "And YOU will have to go in and take care of it. The heroes will have a limited amount of time to capture the villains or secure the weapon. The villains have to either capture the heroes or hold the weapon secure until the timer has run out." He abruptly finished and then asked "You got that?"

Chatter flared up again, she heard Iida's voice, but he was drowned out. "Let's get going!" One of the boys shouted out. Hearn's head turned to look at him, a redhead, bare chested. Blushing a little, she couldn't help but think the obvious. Not much for defense. Momo goes there too, though...

"All right, it's time to pick your teams." All Might took a set of heavy steps forwards, everyone's turning their heads to follow him and pointed at the boy with what looked like bunny ears."You and Young Uraraka are Team A." His hand would then flow to the side, pointing in the general direction of Maribel. "Young Hearn and Young Tokoyami are Team B." He said, his pronunciation of her foreign name resulted in something closer to 'Haan'.

Maribel looked over to Tokoyami. While the rest of the teams were getting picked, they had a little stare off. She gave up in a couple of seconds, introducing herself. "I'm Maribel Hearn, just call me Merry."

"Fumikage Tokoyami." He told her simply.

"I think if we want to have some good results, we need a strategy. My Boundary Manipulation lets me manipulate the boundary between things, allowing me to create portals. When it's active, my eyes scare people." Maribel wasn't too sure he could get the full scope of her ability based on the idea of boundaries. So telling him that she could create portals would be good enough. She wouldn't want anybody to be prepared for her surprises if any newer teams are made, anyway. Devilish.

"My quirk, Dark Shadow, allows me to materialize a monster that can attack and protect me." He summed up eloquently. "It gets stronger in the dark." He pointed at himself.

We're more alike than I thought, considering how weird my recent nights have been. "Definitely better for a head-on fight than me. At least if you want to be non-lethal." The boundary girl reasoned and caused him to scoff a little. "I'm believing in decisive victory, so we could use my quirk to ambush and stall the opponent, letting you approach uninterrupted and catching them with their hands full."

"Since we're supposed to defend the weapon, it'd be reasonable to have a defense. I will stay put as a guard in case, any of them slip past you..." He proposed his own strategy. His voice was deep, reflecting his appearance.

"All right." Maribel wasn't actually sure if she wanted to have a retreat, working under pressure, either deadline or not, seemed to give her a bigger push than being free of limitations.

"ALL RIGHT!" All Might shouted. "Let's get down to business!" He then began to pick the teams. He picked out a pair of balls with roman letters on them. The number one hero presented the teams. "The villains are TEAM B!... The heroes are TEAM C! Step forth!" In response they would all take a few steps forward, lining up from shoulder to shoulder.

Villains: Team B
Maribel Hearn
Fumikage Tokoyami

VS

Heroes: Team C
Momo Yaoyorozu
Minoru Mineta

"Everyone else should head to the monitor room!" All Might pointed to another door, leading to the basement. "Villain team! Go in first and set up! In five minutes, the hero team will break in and the battle will start!" He then told Maribel and Fumikage, facing them.

"Yes, sir..." Maribel lightly told him. She felt very weak while standing right before him. Hearn believed this to be the side effect of her family's quirk to sense spiritual presences. Her possession of it was always weird to her since Boundary Manipulation was a mutated quirk, completely different from her relatives' quirks.

Fumikage remained silent as they went inside. All Might spoke, stopping them. "Young Hearn, Young Tokoyami. Think from the perspective of villains. This is supposed to simulate a real battle. Do your best, don't be afraid to hurt yourself, but don't go too far."

"Right." Maribel replied innocently. Fumikage replied with a "Mhm."

Tokoyami and Hearn made it to the top floor within two minutes and a half. Maribel sought to take the room into her mind, so she could visualize where to create her gaps. Meanwhile, they discussed strategy.

"Momo's pretty amazing at deduction, I feel like she's smart enough to distract us while that tiny pal of hers sneaks past the door. I'll just have to ensure that she can't get over here in the first place. You can take care of her teammate if he comes over. In the case that I retreat, well, it'll have to be a showdown."

"I'll cover the door. They're at a choke point that way." Fumikage glanced towards Maribel and then looked at the door.

"Right." Maribel sat down on one of the empty oil barrels in the room. They were silent for a minute or so. "I didn't mention it, but my quirk might get stronger during the night. And we look like polar opposites."

"Darkness takes many forms." He snickered, blinking and turning to face Maribel with a smile on his face.

Maribel looked at the ground for a couple of seconds before pushing herself onto her feet. Closing her eyes and stretching a little. "I might as well show you my quirk, I need to warm up a little so I don't get all surprised by nausea later." She'd say, unaware that she was showing off a little bit of her shape by stretching like that. Hearn then stood normally and opened her eyes. Grinning a little as her iris had turned purple and her pupils blurred a little, making her look especially eerie. The environment changed just a little for her. Lines ran across it all, shifting, changing based on what she focused on. Maribel's senses sharpened as she reached out into thin air, creating a plain gap in space as she moved her hand. Her arm would be seen moving a full meter away from her, sticking out of the other end of the gap. She noticed she was being especially attentive, almost as if she could react faster than she used to.

"Not like any quirk I've seen before." Fumikage commented. In response, Maribel pulled her hand out of the gap, collapsing it the moment after. He looked at Maribel and materialized a black and avian shape around himself, two yellow eyes making themselves visible along with it as it hovered behind him. "This is Dark Shadow."

"Should I say hello?" Maribel asked sarcastically and briefly glanced into his eyes. Her eyes earned a reaction from Fumikage, forcing him to become a little stressed, the shadow growled a little as a result. "I'll continue warming up a little." She then said and tilted her head a little in his direction and received a nod from him. She reached out and focused for a second, creating a large hallway-spanning gap to the hall just outside the door that was placed just two meters away from them. A conscious blink was made by her and the gap collapsed on itself, instantaneously reappearing under her and letting her drop straight into the hallway. Unprepared for the drop, she folded her legs a little as she landed and almost lost her balance. Her legs straightened out along with the rest of her body, she put a finger to her chin and entered a state of thought. I should probably learn to do something about the drop, needs to be more seamless... She didn't move for around 80 seconds. I've an idea.

The owner of Boundary Manipulation had previously noted she had some issue using her quirk beyond activating her eyes. Her ability to manipulate the boundaries was something she could do, but it was a technique. It didn't come naturally and put her at a bit of a disadvantage. Just recently, in the night, had she felt it come like owner of Boundary Manipulation had previously noted she had some issue using her quirk beyond activating her eyes. Maribel swung her left arm out in front of her in a particularly chuuni fashion. A rip in the fabric of reality was created right down under her, coupled with another that would lead to the next position. The boundary girl dropped three decimeters or so. Maintaining her stance, whilst the other gap moved from just a few decimeters to beyond her length in a split second, giving the appearance of teleporting. Maybe if I moved both points in perfect level with the ground...

Wha-... That was sudden." Fumikage almost yelped in surprise as she reappeared right next to him, a drop of sweat finding itself on his head. The gaps collapsed in on themselves, giving the appearance of being torn apart and disappearing along the place they lead to. Maribel could see boundaries distort unlike anybody else. Her common sense gave her the idea that overbearing these boundaries might be bad, it aligns a little with what that baku said. But how would she know? She'd gotten a lot better at manipulating these things, but she never bothered looking at the distortions, in fact, she has never noticed them earlier.

"Hmm." Maribel looked in the general direction of Fumikage, but not directly at him as to avoid the effect her eyes had. Her voice suddenly turned a little more sinister. "All Might told us to act like villains-"

"The indoor anti-personnel training between Team B and Team C can now START!" All Might's voice reverberated throughout the building, and probably outside of it too, through a set of speakers. Cutting off Maribel mid sentence, she looked back at the door.

Both of them sighed, and Maribel told him what she was gonna do one last time. "I'm going in. I'll retreat if they become too bothersome, capturing me won't work." Her words carried some confidence. She flicked her wrist and created a set of gaps, forcing them into motion and effectively teleporting her into position at the labyrinth just outside.

Maribel feet touched the ground heel first and rolled on it, letting her foot touch the ground softly. The absolutely minimum of a sound for a footstep was made and stealth was achieved. Maribel wandered until she got bored, it was like there was nobody coming, nobody she could hear anyway. She stood breathing by a window, bathing her in bright white light, completing her contrast against the gray halls. She stood put for two minutes, but a thought would come to her.

How stupid am I? I don't have to be close to them to hear them. Maribel scolded herself. She raised her head and imagination gave birth to a gap located just beside her ear, picking up any sounds that the other end was close to. As if flipping through a book, she waved slightly with her hand to help her impulse and move the other end of the gap around the halls. Nothing on the floor below, the third... Maribel's interested was piqued. A set of small, rapid and incredibly soft footsteps could be heard briefly along with softer, heavier footsteps and something swinging along through the air. They're here, finally... Hearn destroyed the gap she was using. Maribel turned and walked back to the labyrinth, stationing herself behind the second turn of the first hallway to prevent her clothing from being seen.

Eventually, she heard him come, but whatever was swinging with him earlier wasn't there. He whined as he ran up the hallway, muttering "Why'd she have to send me in first?!" with anger, frustration and rejection. She recognized the voice. He was the little guy from earlier today, somebody who irritated her a lot. To think he stood in her way just to get that kind of costume, almost insulting. She frowned.

While I have a course of action, it's likely she does too. Anger swelled up inside of her for reasons unknown, she never felt so easily angered like this, at least not up until recently. A deep sigh escaped her, soothing her for now. A little sound was picked up in her ears, not as frequent as the tiny hero, it didn't sound like footsteps. Her attention snapped to the hallway. She created a tiny gap just beyond her eye, its transparent edges making it look more like a spontaneously created mirror. Through it she would be able to spy down the hall with her eye without stepping out of cover. Momo was approaching at a steady pace in pursuit of Mineta's echoing voice, an iron pole in her hand. Then she passed away from the window.

She felt tense and adrenaline started to course through her. Maribel created another gap and let her upper torso pass through. From behind Yaoyorozu she would raise her right arm silently and clench her fist, grit her teeth and furrow her brows. Then she attacked, socking her in the back. "Gyah!" Momo yelped as she was knocked away from Maribel, barely catching herself with her iron bo staff. Hearn's gap expanded, and she left it, appearing behind Momo.

Momo shot to her feet and swung the pole in a wide arc and struck Maribel in the side. Her target gasped as it impacted her waist and stumbled back. The boundary girl's shoes gripped the ground and twisted her body around a little to regain her footing. She retaliated against Momo with her right fist, clearly out of range and then inexplicably closing the distance through a gap. Yaoyorozu was dazed with a clean hit to her gut. The arm was withdrawn, and the gap collapsed upon itself. Maribel held her side and almost keeled over, from under her stainless blouse there was a hint of blood and bruising. "That... hurt... A lot..." She fumed with the same fury she found herself suppressing earlier.

Maribel's opponent breathed heavily, but picked herself up faster than Maribel. "...You're pretty strong." Momo replied back, assuming an actual fighting posture with bojutsu.

"Tch." I think I know how to get past. Maribel raised her arm and Momo shot forth to her surprise. Her legs began pushing, but there was no time to move, she could only think.

I'll bind-

She thought, creating a gap right in the middle of the bo staff to her surprise. A little startled by her own capability, her focus was lost and it collapsed, cleaving the rod in half before it could reach her.

Momo's staff halved and the portion she was going to use to strike Maribel flew off and onto the ground, rolling on over. Yaoyorozu was caught completely by surprise as Maribel smacked her in the face, grunting as she was sent back. Hearn's mind briefly focused on the staff now laying on the ground and made it fall through a gap and right into her hands. She held it in her right hand like a baton and readied herself for Momo's next approach. Despite being stressed out, focusing with her quirk was as clear as day and especially compared to the entrance exam. "You should be running off, you will never capture me."

"Catch!" The wielder of the Creation quirk grabbed something behind herself and caught Maribel off-guard as she threw it in the midst of her words. What turned out to be a flashbang detonated. Hearn flinched and was bathed in light, no longer able to see the visible spectrum, there were only boundaries. Her body was blasted back a couple of feet, only barely keeping herself standing. With only the slightest visual senses and particularly ones she wasn't used to perceiving the environment with. Her weapon was struck away from her, followed with a staff hitting her chest hard enough to make her spit out a bunch of saliva. Maribel was grappled and forced into a hard hitting take down, hitting the ground with her along with a smack.

It wasn't long before Hearn tried to get back up, but Momo smacked her arm with the staff or what remained of it. "Don't you move..." Maribel heard faintly among the ringing and stopped moving.

Damn it, I can't see... Maribel felt her eyes were especially irritated and had closed them. There was one thing she could still see and those were the boundaries that made up the environment and the world, but she wasn't used to using it as her visual sensory so it was of no use. This is absolutely embarrassing, I have to retreat! Maribel thought and flicked her wrist, prompting herself to form a gap right below her.

"Wait!" Momo yelled out. But it was too late to capture her, Maribel Hearn fell through the gap, which then rose in succession, enveloping her and collapsing on itself a moment thereafter.

"So you had to retreat. Looks like we'll have to fight them off." Tokoyami stated with some disappointment, looking back at the door.

Maribel could see again, albeit her vision was littered with annoying afterimages. She had gotten up and sat down on one of the emptied oil barrels. "Yeah." I'm thinking of just making the doorway lead right back to the first floor and outside, but that wouldn't be much for combat training... She groaned. "Let's get ready..." Maribel spoke harshly and jumped onto her feet. She tried to focus despite the disorientation brought to her by that flash grenade earlier. Unfocused... and focused... Hearn thought about the different sides of focus. Is that a boundary I can manipulate or is just subjective? Hmm.

The villains heard footsteps outside and reacted accordingly. Maribel raised her fists in a simple fighting stance while Fumikage let loose Dark Shadow. Then the door would shoot open, followed by a black cylindrical object being thrown almost right at Tokoyami and a couple of black balls. Dark Shadow started to lunge, but Maribel knew what it was and braced herself by closing her eyes and moving out of the concussive radius with her gap. "Tokoyami!" She yelled out to shift his attention, but it was too late. It detonated and showered everyone in the room with a bright light. Hearn just barely escaped the full brunt of it and opened her eyes to see Fumikage and Dark Shadow reeling back. Maribel quickly approached.

There was the little boy. He irritated her particularly. Where are you looking? She thought as she stared at her in particular, not at her eyes, but at her chest. The nerve... Maribel indulged in the irrational behavior that had recently sprung into her mind and frowned. "What are you looking at?" She asked in an angered voice. Mineta's eyes met hers out of instinct and startled him completely. Hearn was just about to move in when Momo charged right at Maribel, taking extra care not to step on the balls strewn across the ground. It's clear she's avoiding them... She noted and landed a blow right through a gap to Momo's throat, stopping her dead in her tracks and making her cough violently in the aftermath. Instead of approaching her this time, Maribel grabbed Momo's arm with strength that was superior to hers.

Immediately as it came, Momo tried to rotate her arm and iron bo around to smack Maribel's arm and pull away. But with the same flow as her attack, another hand shot forth through a gap to grasp her staff, stopping her dead in her tracks. Maribel raised her leg and slipped out of her gap, appearing before Momo and then kicking her right in the stomach in quick succession. Yaoyorozu's grip on the staff was lost, and Maribel immediately retaliated by pulling it over to her with her left hand while she tossed Momo past the balls and right into her teammate. Much to her surprise, Maribel didn't know she was this strong, how strange.

"Gnngh..." Yaoyorozu groaned as she picked herself up. Mineta looked kind of clobbered and wasn't getting back up. When Maribel looked back at Momo, she looked bewildered.

"...What's the matter?" Hearn asked with a mildly condescending tone. This irritable feeling kept rising within her. It was felt especially when her quirk was active. I should talk with the nurse or something... She thought and took a deep breath, dispelling her brash attitude as if it were dust, for now.

"I-It's just that..." Momo stood on two feet. Maribel swung the iron bo to point at her, but the distance between them was a little over two meters. "You were really fast..." Yaoyorozu wheezed. Maribel shot forth, taking a short leap to go overhead any of the balls, gripped tight with both her hands and swung the iron bo diagonally from the side in an attempt to hit Momo in her waist without regard for technique. Yaoyorozu pushed herself away to the side, allowing her to narrowly escape the attack. Hearn almost spun from the momentum in her attack but immediately started reorienting herself when she missed. Momo pulled at something by her leg and Maribel proceeded to immediately retaliate and try to thrust at her shoulder. The hero team's girl created another bo staff that she would immediately raise diagonally above her head to block the attack in time. She skid a little before counterattacking, spinning her staff around clockwise and bringing it out of Maribel's guard.

Surprisingly Maribel was capable of reacting to this sudden move, it was easily predictable even and she tried moving her staff to block just like how Momo did. Maribel managed to just cover her head and the staff struck her right in the shoulder, forcing her back with excruciating pain. Hearn's right hand let go of her staff and Momo went in for the attack. Sweeping right into the side of Maribel's head only for her staff to be blocked by Maribel's forearm. The villain could do nothing but cringe in pain as her forearm was dislocated by the iron rod. Maribel stumbled to the side, taking her eyes off her target for the moment.

Momo suddenly crouched a little and brought her bo staff up in a kung fu staff poke, hitting Hearn square in the abdomen. "Gnrgh!" She cried out as the battering continued. Barely realigning herself as her anger and stress caught up with her. Yaoyorozu's expression was filled with energy. She was full of adrenaline. She suddenly brought the staff behind herself, most of the length behind and above her shoulder and then sent it swinging right at Hearn's head.

"GNRAH!" Hearn threw her own rod with her right hand, pushing her leg against the ground to close the distance between them. The rods collided, cushioning the momentum of Momo's telegraphed strike. Maribel thought for just a split second and brought her hand right to Yaoyorozu's wrist through a gap in a burst of motion. She immediately clenched her fist around it and pulled a little. There was a faint popping sound in her ears before she let go and brought her arm up, swiping her opponent straight in the gut. Sending her down to the floor in one swift combination. Maribel left her gap and just stood and stared for a bit as Momo squirmed on the ground. Her breathing became heavy as mild nausea slowly kicked in only for her equipment to nullify it. I'm definitely reacting faster...

Hearn started at Momo, focusing. It was then that Yaoyorozu produced another flashbang out of her skin, pulling it from her pained arm and throwing it at Maribel. "No." Hearn stated defiantly. A gap was created, splitting into the space it occupied and then collapsing upon itself, cleaving it in half. The charge spilled out in mid air, rendering it neutralized. Her focus shifted once more to Yaoyorozu who was quickly enveloped in a larger gap, the entry and exit spread a few centimeters away from each other. Maribel imagined that they would bend in on themselves, connecting the two points in space through something akin to a wormhole. The warped space inside swiftly turned into a pure black, only containing what passed through it. Hearn loosened her focus on the gap, forcing it to shrink until it tightly restrained Momo inside of a warped space. The villain stood with her mouth agape as she continued panting, she was excited, it felt like her ability was limitless. It just works!

"Aha!" An impish little voice yelled out from behind her. She was just about to shift her weight around to turn, but she was stuck to the ground and almost fell. Instead, she turned her head in stead. He ran away as quickly as he attacked, she saw it was Mineta, but it didn't matter. Fumikage retaliated in her stead with Dark Shadow, acting almost in synchronization as they batted him to the ground, he looked unconscious. Her eyes went back to Fumikage, attention tsill going about maintaining the gap she had created.

Song End

"You okay?" She asked the stumbling Tokoyami.

"Disoriented." He would kneel down. Dark Shadow shielded him as he did. After they both had taken some time to breathe, Dark Shadow distanced itself and Fumikage tried to stand up properly.

"Hm." Maribel let out before sighing to herself. She briefly used a little of her focus to create a gap from inside and into the outside the ball under her right foot. She 'let go' of her focus on it and cleaved it in half, splattering blood and liquid all over the ground under the foot as she tried taking a step. It creeped her out, but there was no time for being scared right now. Her eyes moved to the other one under her foot and repeated the same action. Popping it like a balloon with a lot of blood just spilling out under her legs. Staining her shoes. I'm ending this now.Her face was filled with determination.

Hearn swung her weight around and shot over to Mineta, grabbing him with her left hand and immediately swinging her weight around again. Her proportions giving her a nice, albeit barely noticeable bounce. There was something that interrupted her just before she could complete what she was going to do.

"Villain Team, WINS!" The speakers let out, All Might putting it short and clearly.

Fumikage walked on over next to her, she lowered Mineta to the ground and dropped her focus on the wormhole gap entirely. She thought that due to its construction, the warping in space would most likely just leave Momo to drop down onto the ground. And she turned her eyes to see as an incomprehensible mess was created for a split second before Momo shot right into the ground with a thud. "Aha... Oh. Well, are YOU okay?" Maribel asked Yaoyorozu as Tokoyami this time would walk on over to get back onto her feet. Hearn looked back at Mineta and remembered that her quirk was still focused. She closed her eyes to focus and turn her eyes back to normal.

Maribel was interrupted again as someone shot straight to her, she opened her eyes right away to see Mineta snuggle right into her chest. She blushed furiously and tossed him away haphazardly before he could use his quirk to stick to her. He flew right into the hands of All Might, who had gotten to the top floor in no time at all.

"It's time to go back and look at the results!" He smiled at them all like some old grandpa. Maribel closed her eyes and focused again, now caught in a dominating presence. She took a deep breath, calming herself and found most of the boundaries fading away from her vision, returning into a foreground that was far more recognizable to her. Her eyes opened to reveal her natural golden eyes. It felt like she was drooling, so she ran a finger across her lip to clean it up. It was blood. Then, slowly but surely, the pain in her right arm kicked in.

"I think I'll have to get my wrist put back into place." Yaoyorozu told All Might as she walked on up to him.

All Might balanced his chin against his finger and thought, clearly concerned. Letting Mineta back down onto the ground.

"I think I'll have to go too..." Maribel told him too. Earning her some eyes. This made her feel pressured, especially with All Might around. So she hurried to untie the ribbon around her waist after reaching around with her left hand and fiddling around a little. Not moving her right arm an inch. She dragged it off and loosened her surcoat a little, then reaching on up to the zipper at the base of her neck and pulling it open. Maribel tried to remove it. Pulling her left arm under and then pulling it over her head, but it wasn't that easy due to her right arm being dislocated. She winced and let out a series of "Ow!"s before she successfully unequipped it. Her blouse wasn't stained with blood due to the stainless cloth it was made of. Still a clear red gash around her waist could be seen under it. And her condition, in general, became much clearer to everyone.

Mineta gave her a thumbs up. "Nice." And it did nothing but make her disappointed.

"I'll see you both get to recovery girl." The teacher promised them. "Now, let's get back and review this battle."

The students grouped up and followed the teacher out of the room and down each floor. It took a while for anybody to speak anything again beyond Tokoyami telling Mineta to leave 'them' alone occasionally.

"I didn't get to see much due to the flashbang. But if you fought them all off on your own despite being so hurt, I am impressed." Fumikage told Maribel formally, almost out of nowhere and just before they would exit the building.

"Thanks. I... Uh... Felt a little out of it when I went through all that, got kind of angry. Eh..." Hearn blushed when met with such praise. Right now she was holding her side with her left arm to block the wound. Suddenly they would exit the building with All Might in front, showering her in light again, natural light. It irritated her, but not as much as her pained arm did.

All Might stopped and they did too.

"Huh?" Hearn let out and moved her head to look up at him.

Momo did the same whilst Tokoyami just turned his eyes to look at him.

"Despite your wounds, it'd be best if you changed. Can you make to the bus together?" All Might asked them, concerned but not wavering in his smile.

"Yeah... Yeah. I think so." Maribel said, almost feeling weak just by standing next to him.

"I'd say the same." Momo said with far more confidence than her former enemy.

All Might gave them a thumbs up. "Then you should get going, young gals." His students nodded and they walked away together, Yaoyorozu helping Hearn along. In the meantime, Mineta and Tokoyami returned to the monitor room with All Might to review the results.

"Do you think you'll be alright with all that bleeding?" Momo asked as Maribel leaned on her on their way back to the changing room. Hearn was just two centimeters taller than her.

"I'm sure of it, don't get so caught up on my condition, you're hurt too." She glanced at her classmate. Maribel thought back to the weird anger that kept coming back to her. She'd have to tell the nurse about it. It's a lot like manic syndrome.
