Authors Note: Thanks for the support, this is now the most followed MHA X LWA crossover at the time of this writing.
Akko was banging furiously on the bathroom's door.
"Come on! Don't tell me you guys are still changing!" called out Akko.
"You know it's not impressive to be late to your first class!" reminded Diana.
"And I'll be docked for it too you know!" chided Amanda.
"No way we're coming out!" yelled Bakugou from inside the bathroom.
"I want to go, but Kaachan won't let me!" cried Deku.
"And sadly, he's physically stronger than both of us." added Todoroki.
Akko groaned. "Can't you just blast your way out?"
The sound of Deku falling on the floor, obviously from Bakugou's doing, preceded his statement. "We'd try to, but we can't get in more trouble."
"At least they're playing that part smart." shrugged Amanda.
Diana rolled her eyes. "You read the dossier, you have to be wearing those uniforms while you spend time here in Luna Nova."
"No way is anyone else seeing me like this!" roared Bakugou.
Akko's eyes almost teared with anxiety. "Come on, I got up early to pick them myself!"
"That explains it." hissed Bakugou.
"And it's not like she made you wear a dress. Come on!" complained Amanda.
"You know we can barge right in and see you anyway." pointed out Diana.
"You're not gonna get passed his strength." grunted Todoroki, who seemed to be struggling against Bakugou physically now.
"And like hell would you dare!" warned Bakugou.
Diana smirked. "Why not? It's a unisex bathroom! Our school has practically only hosted women and we're desegregating by the end of the decade, so we never bothered to put up a boys only sign."
"Anything goes!" gloated Amanada.
Deku yelped. "Still not gonna change the fact you won't get passed him."
"The teachers might." teased Akko.
And with that, Bakugou groaned and opened the door, revealing the three heroes and their new uniforms for Luna Nova. Well, uniform wasn't the right word since they all had slightly different colors and didn't have any school logos, but it did fit the dress code for males that visited for certain events.
All three of them were wearing a pretty formal outfit, consisting of a shirt, a tie, a sleeveless sweater vest and suit pants. All that was missing was a suit jacket to make it look like they were attending an office meeting. The colors of their outfits varied, with Deku's being a mixture of black and green, Todoroki having red and blue while Bakugou's was black and red.
"I swear this is the same outfit Kirishima forced me to wear on that island." said Bakugou, eyes twitching and hastily recalling the events involving the Shields and Wolfram on I-Island.
"I think we look like villains, but this will do." sighed Todorki.
"Well, I think it's great Akko!" cheered Deku.
Akko's eyes sparkled upon seeing the boys in their outfits. "YAY! You three look sooo cute!"
Akko made her way to Deku and began pinching his cheeks. "You're adorable in that outfit! Yes you are!"
"Knock it off, you three are barely a year older than us." reminded Bakugou.
Deku's face all the while was burning red. He'd probably die from embarrassment before the weekend.
Diana had a faint grin, but she seemed more amused by the reaction of the heroes than the outfits themselves. Amanda on the other hand was laughing like crazy the moment she saw the three heroes step out of the bathroom.
"Would you cut it out!" yelled Bakugou to Amanda. "You all look stupid in your outfits too!"
"Yeah!" agreed Amanda. "But we don't look like supervillain henchmen."
Diana got everyone back on track. "Uniforms aside, we cannot be late! Let's make a move now!"
"Oh chill, we have some time." replied Akko.
Deku thought he was in the clear before Akko burried her face in his again. "Can I escort the cute little gentleman to magical pharmaceutical class?"
"Um, okay." whelped Deku, who could hardly breathe as Akko's presence and cuteness was too much for him to handle. It was also now daunting on him that he was roughly the same height as Akko, who herself was the shortest of the three girls escorting his group, which meant that events like the following were bound to happen again.
Once Akko cheered "Yay!" at Deku's remark, she grabbed his hand and began dragging him to pharmaceutical class, skipping happily while Deku slid on the floor.
Todoroki almost grunned. "I hope you know how to clean suits with magic because he's going to get a little dirty."
"Eh, it'll be fine," shrugged Amanda. "This ain't the first time someone showed up to class all rugged or by being dragged."
"Kinda feels like UA already." noted Todoroki.
Bakugou, hands in pockets raised his voice regarding his confusion. "So why are we doing God damn potions class with you all? That doesn't sound like it's relevant to heroes at all."
"That's the point Bakugou," chided Diana. "Our job here is to make it relevant."
Bakugou stared aimlessly down as he walked, noting how the professors repaired the exterior damage to the school overnight. "I really didn't see myself doing this for a month when I decided to go to Britain you know."
Diana shrugged. "Well, neither did I, but I say you and your friends have the chance to do some pretty revolutionary things here."
Bakugou raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"You're one of the top heroes in training at UA, maybe all of Japan or even the world," admitted Diana. "Surely you yourself know the kind of potential you have for amazing feats, which given your history has been the case in multiple incidents. I know myself what that feels like thanks to people like Akko. Believe me."
"So…?" inquired Bakugou.
"So I really hope you don't screw this up, because whether I like it or not, you're the future and have the ability to change the way we perceive and understand things." said Diana.
Bakugou chuckled at the supposed flattery. "Come on, don't sell yourself short. I hate it when people do that unless they're total runts that know their place."
Diana rolled her eyes. "Oh I don't, but your society of quirks and heroes do. I can't believe that it stands where magic once stood, nor do I think it should."
Bakugou smirked. "Well, if you don't use this opportunity to smack me and any other sane person in the face dead wrong, I'll be disappointed."
"Oh, you won't." bragged Diana.
Todoroki couldn't help but half grin. The conversation between Bakugou and Diana was not completely hostile, even though it was clear the two still saw each other's worlds at odds with one another. He didn't really have much of a stake in this clash of worlds himself. He was ambivalent. Still, it wouldn't hurt to help a more forgotten part of the world now would it?
"And we're here!" called out Amanda.
"Yay! First class boys!" Akko let go of Deku's hand causing it to slump to the ground alongside the rest of his dragged body. Right in front of them all was the entrance to the Magic of Pharmaceutics class, also known as Potions class.
Deku stood and dusted himself off, a toothy smile on his face. "Oh my God oh my God oh my GOD this is going to be amazing. We're going to be the first heroes in a class meant for wizards and witches guys! Isn't this awesome?"
"Yeah." shrugged Todoroki.
"Could be worse." admitted Bakugou.
"Your first impressions were destroyed, but seconds could do you justice since we admirably screwed up our first impressions too, right Akko?" stated Diana.
"RiGhT AKkO?" repeated Akko with a mock accent.
Deku took a deep breath. "Okay guys, we're going to make history right now, so we need a really really really good impression. Oh man, what are we going to do? What are we going to say? Think? Feel? I CAN'T TAKE THE PRESSURE!"
Deku's breaths got faster and faster as Amanda face palmed.
Akko got close to Deku again. "Aw calm down, just show them your cute little face and all will start anew!"
"What if they don't find me cute?" blurted Deku.
"That's scientifically impossible given that Class 1A voted you as the cutest," remarked Todoroki. "But the witches could still hate your guts regardless."
"Voted me what!?" cried Deku. How come he never heard of this?
"Oh quit being a wuss." groaned Bakugou as he made his way to the door.
"Wait no!" blurted Amanda, immediately stepping in front of Bakugou.
"Excuse me?" said Bakugou in a way that was clear he took the gesture as a threat.
"Look Mr. I hate and want to blow up everything," began Amanda. "You're probably the hero the other witches are going to want to see the least first, so maybe we should start with Deku first. I mean, he'll at least send the message that you're harmless."
Bakugou glanced at the still rambling Deku and back at Amanda. "I agree on that last part, but move out of my way."
Diana scoffed. "Oh no, you don't!"
Akko clenched her fists. "You're not cute enough to be first!"
Bakugou continued forward, Amanda trying to physically stop him to no avail. It ended with all three of the witches trying to restrain Bakugou by latching onto him, with Akko herself having her turn being dragged on the floor as she clutched Bakugou's leg.
Of course, if two heroes in peak physical condition couldn't stop Bakugou, there was no hope for Amanda, Akko, and Diana. Bakugou merely walked on as if nothing was holding him back and entered the classroom.
Inside the class, the student witches watched with confusion at the sight of Bakugou coming in with his three guides unsuccessfully attempting to restrain him.
Professor Lukic who instructed the class, greeted Bakugou as if nothing was latched onto him. "I see you've made it."
"Sadly." replied Bakugou, who by a sheer extension of his arms and leg forward knocked off Amanda, Diana and Akko who all got up and dusted themselves off like Deku did.
Sucy, raised an eyebrow. "He's feisty as usual."
Just then Todoroki entered the classroom in a relatively normal fashion and presented himself to the class. "Shoto Todoroki. Pleased to be here."
"Likewise." nodded Lukic.
For a moment nothing happened. The two heroes and their three guides were just awkwardly standing in front of the class. The witch students were wondering if this was some sort of trick or display they weren't prepared for, so some tried to hide behind their desks.
The silence was then broken by Lukic. "Weren't there 3 of you heroes?"
As if on cue, Deku slammed the door open. "I AM HERE!"
And then Deku's pupils shrunk as he realized that he had been so lost in his thoughts that he failed to notice Todoroki and Bakugou having already entered the classroom. The nature of his awkward display was also apparent.
Deku awkwardly laughed. "Heh. Heh. It's nice to meet….you?"
None of the witch students did anything but stare. Well, except Akko of course who had her hands clasped together as she admired Deku's cute display like he was a little kitten.
Lukic faced the rest of her class. "Now then. I am happy to announce that the first course of the cross hero and witch training program in the world is going to be held in my potions and pharmaceutical class here. I wonder what sort of macabre or mystifying things we are going to discover."
The macabre part didn't really sit well with anyone except maybe Deku and Akko.
Lukic glanced at the three heroes. "I hope you three enjoyed your extra hours of sleep. The professors had to get up early to help finish repairs while the students had to practice barrier magic in case something went wrong."
The boys knew what she meant on that last part.
Bakugou glanced at the rows of students behind their potions equipment, noting all the cups of coffee that fitted both their tired and cautious expressions.
"Can't blame ya prof." muttered Bakugou, who thankfully didnt give a slasher smile that would have escalated the tension.
"You all can sit now. You boys have the special desk right in front of mine." instructed Lukic.
It was obvious that the desk with no alchemical or magical equipment was the one meant for Todoroki, Bakugou and Deku. All that was on it was some sheets, paper and a textbook for note taking.
Akko, Amanda and Diana tried to head to the back of the room, only to be called out by Lukic.
"Oh oh oh wait!" exclaimed Lukic. "You three are going to be partners for the rest of the month and sit next to our guests."
Next to the relatively empty table meant for the heroes was an unoccupied, but properly equipped one where Akko, Amanda and Diana would have to do their work.
The three young witches however were slightly hesitant, not because they were slightly averse to working with each other already due to some incidents, but because this meant they couldn't work together with their usual friends. Sure enough the people they had normally hung out with were mixed into their own groups of three. Lotte would be doing just fine with Jasminka and Constanze, while Sucy was paired up with a frightened Hannah and Barbara, who for once weren't entirely cowering because of the heroes.
The only consolation for them was the humor in seeing Bakugou utterly pissed that the chirpy Deku and brooding Todoroki were going to have to be his partners for a month.
Diana sighed and complied with the instruction. "Understood Ma'am".
She glanced at Akko and Amanda with a 'don't screw this up' face and the three readied themselves for the class which Lukic finally began.
"Alright everyone," announced Lukic. "Today we are going to be doing things a little differently than usual, so are there any questions before I proceed?"
"OH OH OH!" yelled Deku, raising his hand high into the sky, almost flicking Todoroki on his scarred eye.
"Yes Midoriya? Or you know what, Deku is better." replied Lukic.
"Aren't you the witch who's been wanted for war crimes in Serbia since 1995?" asked Deku, failing to realize the controversy in his statement.
Lukic cackled. "Ah yes, but you can thank my ex boyfriend's methods for getting me asylum in Britain. Any other questions?"
"OH OH OH!" cried Deku once more, with Todoroki this time quickly dodging before Deku shot his hand up again.
"Yes Deku?" said Lukic.
"Aren't you also the witch who made up the concoction responsible for Jeremy Corbyn's disembodied head being the eternal prime minister of Britain?" inquired Deku, shaking with anticipation for his answer.
Lukic closed her eyes and tried to hold back her tears from laughing. "Of course! Nice to know that somebody appreciates my achievements."
Todoroki himself had a question to ask the mad professor regarding her sanity and competence, but Lukic interrupted him.
"No more questions! Now it is the time to begin for real!"
Todoroki sighed at Deku hogging the teacher's attention, and evidently so were the other witches who hesitantly put their hands down.
Lukic cleared her throat. "Alright then. Our goal is to determine the ability of quirks found in heroes and most of the population to impact magical pharmacology, alchemy and potions making. I want all of you to write down your observations and theories because we professors and scholars will pursue further research on the subject once this semester is over. This instruction applies for your other classes too."
Diana cracked her knuckles readied her note taking, which prompted Amanda to roll her eyes at her haughty attitude while Akko was too excited by the spectacle to pay attention to academics.
Lukic smirked. "Our discoveries can wonderu or disturbing, so I suggest we start with the small things yes?"
Deku smiled wide and grabbed his notebook. "First new discovery! This is so exciting."
"I know right?" whispered Akko to him.
Lukic pointed at the heroes. "For the first experiment, we will determine if a magical cauldron used for potions brewing can be heated up using a quirk."
While Deku started jotting that down, the rest of the class seemed confused by the rather anticlimactic nature of the task.
"That's it?" questioned Bakugou.
"Yes! Imagine the implications of this experiment!" said Lukic.
Deku had wrote down what appeared to be a hundred different hypothesis already despite only a second passing. His glance darted back and forth between Bakugou and Todoroki as he spoke.
"Now there are a ton of different things we need to consider guys! Todoroki you can set things on fire with normal flames while Kaachan, you have to do it via explosions. Since magic is a lot less predictable in this regard, each of your methods can result in a dozen different…"
"Shut it!" yelled Bakugou.
"Thank you Bakugou!" nodded Lukic, much to everyone's surprise. "Todoroki. Bakugou. You two go on over to the table next to you and try to light their miniature cauldron on fire. I want a good boil on the concoction inside."
Todoroki and Bakugou glanced at each other and complied. They hopped on over to Amanda, Akko and Diana's table, Deku trailing behind and furiously writing notes down despite nothing really happening.
Bakugou looked inside the mini cauldron that was perched on top of a burner like a normal chemical set in a science lab.
Todoroki looked in too, noting the blue liquid and asked Lukic before burning anything.
"This potion isn't dangerous right?" he checked.
"Oh heavens, no. It's a simple Stereoscopic Image Potion meant to show pictures. We'll get to the harsher stuff later." assured Lukic.
"I'll go first then." said Todoroki to Bakugou, the latter for once not particularly excited to take the lead.
Diana quickly reminded him. "Be careful! It's a simple boil, not an excuse to set the class on fire!"
Todoroki ignored her and placed his hand under the suspended mini cauldron and lit up his hand containing his fire powers. He could hear some of the witches yelp and hide behind cover, thinking he just unleashed a giant roaring blaze instead of a tiny flame. Both Diana and Deku were recording observations while the sparkles in Akko's eyes glowed brighter as she witnessed history being made.
"Hey it's working!" called out Amanda when she noticed the liquid potion starting to boil.
After a moment, Lukic called him out to stop. "That should be enough! Now Diana, extract the potion and place a drop on the table nearby."
"Understood." nodded Diana, who whipped out her wand and using a form of telekinesis, placed some of it in a vial.
Now Deku's eyes were glowing. "The moment of truth is before us!"
"Dork." muttered Bakugou and Amanda, which caught both off by surprise.
Once she was sure the potion stopped bubbling, Diana lightly placed a drop of it on the desk. Sure enough, steam emitted from the evaporated liquid, and in the cloud a series of images appeared before everyone.
Deku gasped and gazed at the image of rough looking army men playing some instruments. "Whoa. It's just like those old timey pictures. Who are these people professor Lukic?"
"Oh, that's my old boyfriend's band from a long time ago." Lukic answered.
"Cooooool!" whispered Deku. "And the picture changed! Is that young witch you?"
"Yes, it is." confirmed Lukic.
Everyone in the class glanced at the picture of the young Lukic with one of the army men that was clearly her boyfriend walking down some war-torn street. They then looked back at the current Lukic and back again at her younger self.
"I can't believe you're the same lady." admitted Bakugou.
Deku's eyes widened when the image changed again. "It's another picture! That's clearly you and your lover in war-time Belgrade and you're….you're…."
Deku faced away, tears flowing from his wide open eyes once he realized what the image really meant. Even the rest of the class sans Sucy was now twice as afraid of their eccentric magical pharmaceutical and potions teacher.
Bakugou wasn't as moved but was still taken. "I wonder what the professor did to avoid the UN firing squad."
"I'm not in the mood to find out." replied Todoroki, whose arm was then promptly grabbed by Akko.
"YOU DID IT! The first cross magic and quirk experiment ever!" cheered Akko.
"That didn't really prove anything though." frowned Todoroki.
"I agree. We need another test," remarked Lukic. "Bakugou, it's your turn now."
Bakugou shrugged and placed his hand under the cauldron. He lit up an explosion, which rather than just boiling the potion once more, also sent the cauldron flying upwards.
Everyone took cover as the hot pot flew in the sky, sans Deku who was still busy taking notes about the flying cauldron that he failed to dodge it in time. With a loud SMACK, Deku was knocked to the ground with a small burn mark over his face. At least it wasn't too serious.
Akko rushed to Deku and cradled his bewildered head in her arms. "DEKU! Speak to me!"
Deku tried to adjust his senses, but upon noticing how close Akko was practically hugging him, he semi fainted once more.
"Apologize you meanie!" huffed Akko to Bakugou.
"Not my fault he was too busy being a nerd to dodge." defended Bakugou.
"That is sort of true," noted Lukic. "But please use tiny flames if you can."
Diana noted Deku's condition. "Akko, I think your cuddling is making him worse."
All the while, the spilled concoction started evaporating into steam, and a dozen pictures of Lukic and her accordion playing war criminal boyfriend in ex-Yugoslavia started playing.
"Alright, my theory is about to prove true, but we need one more test on a different cauldron," instructed Lukic. "I want Todoroki and Bakugou to head on over to Ms. Sucy's station right there."
Todoroki and Bakugou glanced at the rather apathetic Sucy, with Hannah and Barbara on opposite sides of the table shivering from fear. Inside her cauldron was a purplish powder, instead of a liquid, but it didn't cross their mind to question the situation just yet.
Todoroki took the lead as he approached the new cauldron, and lit his tiny flame once more.
This time however, the powdery potion inside the cauldron detonated and sent the whole thing flying up in the sky once more. With yet another loud SMACK, Deku was the unfortunate victim of a flying cauldron yet again.
Akko darted to Deku once more and held his head, tears flowing from her eyes.
"My poor little Deku! You don't deserve this!" yelled Akko.
"Akko, stop cradling him." requested Diana.
"Are you kidding me? It's hilarious." countered Amanda.
"What was that?" frowned Todoroki.
"It's an explosive powder potion. You like it?" asked Sucy.
"You should have warned me before I detonated it!" scolded Todoroki.
"You never asked like the last time." teased Sucy.
"Todoroki's right," pointed Diana. "If you changed up your ingredients and made it more powerful, we would end up like one of Bakugou's victims."
Bakugou grinned. "Still, I'd say that's a pretty good potion right there."
All the witches practically rolled their eyes at Bakugou's remark, but this just made his expression a whole lot smugger.
"Of course," said Bakugou, lighting up a small explosive in his hand. "It can't compare to my version that's better in every way."
"Wanna bet?" propositioned Sucy.
"Don't get into shit you know you'll lose." defended Bakugou.
"I mean it's just gunpowder." added Todoroki.
Sucy and quite a few of the witches looked offended. Potions, alchemy and pharmaceuticals were everything to Sucy at Luna Nova. Todoroki nearly triggered her breaking point.
"Excuse me?" hissed Sucy.
"It's gunpowder." repeated Todoroki.
Diana took Sucy's side. "It's made up of way more exotic ingredients than simple gunpowder used in firearms, giving it an array of magical properties conventional explosives could never hope to have."
"Oh, so it's an unnecessarily complicated version of gunpowder. Got it." laughed Bakugou.
"Eh, he's got a point there. I think." admitted Amanda. Her history of pranks sometimes had her using conventional gunpowder instead of the potion equivalent since it was easier to use and cause mass mayhem.
"Let's review!" commanded Lukic before anyone could take the argument further. "So does anyone know the implications of what we've just witnessed?"
The class was mostly silent, sans Deku mummering to himself what the answer would be. Diana thus decided to take the initiative and raised her hand.
"That fire from a quirk is no different from than fire from magic...or conventional means in activating a potion's properties?" answered Diana.
"Correct, isn't it riveting?" replied Lukic.
"Oh wow, who would have guessed." muttered Bakugou under his breath.
"You're right," agreed Diana. "There isn't that much value in this lesson. Especially since heroes don't seem to be careful as they should around potions."
"Oh yeah, because if we brought in actual gunpowder to a classroom, we'd just detonate it willy nilly right?" countered Bakugou, ignoring his hypocrisy.
Deku meanwhile looked like he had just discovered the cure for aging. "This hypothesis needs further testing! We're on the verge of something great, so Todoroki and Kaachan, could you guys try repeating your actions…"
"Bite me." interrupted Bakugou.
"Rude." pouted Akko.
"For our next test, we will see what effects certain potions have when they are consumed by those with quirks." told Lukic.
"Wait, we're going to be tested on?" frowned Todoroki.
Amanda burst out laughing. "Oh man, you guys are in for something great."
Lotte piped up. "I tried to warn Sucy, but she insisted to Ms. Lukic."
Sucy grinned quite smugly at the heroes. She was especially ecstatic that she could have her revenge on Bakugou and Todoroki for their quips on potion magic.
Even the enthusiastic Deku was a little worried. "Um, are we sure this is a good idea?"
Akko piped up in their defense. "Yeah. We gotta haze them a little more before we get to the really gritty stuff."
Lukic laughed. "Oh don't worry, Sucy and I went over the potions this morning. Nothing will scar our new guests. At least permanently."
"Oh hell no! You ain't touching me! Why would we let you experiment on us?" questioned Bakugou, particularly to the excited Sucy.
"Manilla massacre. Comfort women. A dozen other things you guys did to us in World War II to justify this." bluntly stated Sucy.
"Oh yeah." blurted Deku with shame.
"She got us there." complied Todoroki.
Bakugou raised an eyebrow. "I mean I guess you're right, but shouldn't that mean Akko has to be experimented on too?"
"Akko has been tortured enough by me, especially this class." told Sucy, next to a nodding Akko who was clearly flashing back to some unsavory times in this class.
"Indeed she has," confirmed Lukic. "Now get ready."
Lotte cleared her throat and motioned the boys to her. "Um, my potion is a vegetation growth spell that will cause a plant so sprout on your skin. It's actually pretty safe and painless."
The boys glanced at each other, and silently complied to take it. None of them wanted to look weak, and Lotte seemed to be trustworthy anyway.
Jasminka tried to reassure them. "I added some green tea leaves I thought you'd all enjoy. It makes drinking potions so much easier."
Even Bakugou and Todoroki half grinned at that remark. The three of them hesitantly each picked up a cup and dunked it in the cauldron, careful not to get any of the potion on their skin, lest they suffer ill effects.
With the least enthusiastic cheers possible, they each drank the potion.
"Do you feel any different?" asked Akko.
"Not quite." muttered Todoroki.
"Same." noted Bakugou.
Diana noticed a smell and began sniffing the air. Other witches caught on and did the same.
"Is something burning?" asked Amanda.
All eyes were on Todoroki and Bakugou.
"I'm not lighting anything up." said Todoroki, raising both hands for proof.
"Surprisingly, neither am I." added Bakugou, displaying his hands like Todoroki.
"It's still coming from you two." noted Diana getting close to Bakugou and Todoroki, which almost made the two of them blush. Luckily for their pride, they managed to hold it.
The two heroes began smelling their arms and soon caught on as well. They were so used to the smell of flames that they usually ignored it. Something was burning inside them.
Todoroki, quite literally on the other hand, noticed a different smell coming from the arm that emitted his ice powers.
"One part of me smells like a campfire, the other smells like a minty sundae." observed Todoroki.
"I don't think that's a coincidence." suggested Bakugou.
Diana got it. "Quirks are physical abilities right?"
The two heroes nodded.
Diana began jotting notes down as she spoke. "The plants from that potion grow inside of a person before sprouting, but my guess is that the fires that exist in both of your bodies effectively burn them before they have the chance to do so. Well, Todoroki your other half is an ice quirk, but that isn't ideal growth for whatever plant Lotte utilized for the potion either."
"Now I wish I had those quirks whenever Sucy uses them on me." sighed Akko.
Amanda placed a finger on her chin. "Wait, so if explodey boy and half and half boy can't grow plants inside them because of their quirks, then that means…"
Everyone turned around to face Deku, who had quite a lot of plants sprouting from his arms. Some of them were quite big.
"Uh, a little help here." whimpered Deku.
"Want me to burn those plants off of you?" laughed Bakugou.
Lotte placed a hand on her mouth. "No no no! This wasn't supposed to happen! The plants should be really tiny."
Akko figured it out first. "Oh my gosh! Deku, your quirk lets you supercharge a part of your body or something right?"
"Yeah, kinda." whispered Deku, picking a few flowers growing from his arm.
"So it's clear that he supercharged their growth, making a shrub grow larger than it should." concluded Diana.
A moment passed and Deku was finally free of the plant growth that just vanished off him in a sparkling cloud. Interestingly his clothes remained undamaged and the flowers he picked were still around in his hand.
"You okay?" asked Akko.
"Yep, thanks," nodded Deku. He noted the three flowers he still had. "Uh, I don't know what to do with these, so do you…"
Akko took it the other way. "Aw, one for me, Diana and Amanda as thanks for being your guides right? That's so sweet."
"But," frowned Deku.
Akko didn't let him finish and yanked the flowers. She passed them onto an amused Diana and Amanda, the rest of the witches giggling and Bakugou laughing at Deku's pathetic face. All Todoroki did was bite his lip in confusion.
Lukic got everyone's attention again. "Now it seems we are getting somewhere more interesting. Since witches and wizards don't have quirks, it seems bodies to react differently to spells based on the immaterial essence within. We will try this again with another potion prepared next you little heroes."
"What's in this thing?" asked Bakugou.
"This one is called 'A Drop For All'," explained Sucy before anyone else could, the name of the potion making Deku squirm under his breath. "Basically you take it and then shoot out water like a firehose. It's so fun to wake Akko up with."
"Don't remind me!" frowned Akko.
"I can kinda predict where this is going." stated Todoroki, dunking his cup in the cauldron. Bakugou and Deku did the same.
They each took the potion and the expected results arose. Deku began shooting a massive wave of water from his hands, the nature of the potion amplified by his quirk, and sent him crashing to the other side of the room.
As Akko tended to Deku, the rest of the class observed Todoroki and Bakugou. The former had half of his body emitting a hot steam from one side, while the other was frozen solid from an involuntary action.
Bakugou meanwhile was completely steaming, matched perfectly with his annoyed expression.
"Talk about smoking hot." joked Amanda.
"Oh shut it before I turn explosive hot." hissed Bakugou.
"You will have to wait for that Mr. Bakugou," hinted Lukic. "We need to now test the ability of a magic nullifier potion on quirks."
This caused the three heroes to freeze.
"Don't worry, the strongest potion can only last for 5 minutes," explained Lukic. "Of course it's 5 minutes of pure torture for a witch and wizard to have their magical ability cancelled in the heat of danger, but this is a mostly controlled environment."
"So it's like Mr. Izawa's quirk." realized Deku.
"Still, I don't wanna exactly risk losing my quirk." admitted Todoroki.
"Yeah, I've got my plans for being a quirkless vigilante worked out, but God knows what that potion will do to us." stated Bakugou.
"Scared aren't ya?" teased Amanda, playing on his attitude.
This caused Bakugou to growl and he accordingly volunteered to go first. "Hit me with your best."
Sucy giggled and practically out of nowhere handed the vial to Bakugou. He snatched it from her hand and swirled the beaker around.
The tension in the room was somewhat high, as it was the first time someone with a quirk was going to try a rare potion meant for temporarily nullifying an enemy's spells.
Bakugou hesitated to drink it, taking a small whiff of it.
"What does it smell like?" asked Akko.
"Apples, funny enough." told Bakugou. He finally took a sip of the thing as everyone watched with anticipation.
Deku, still fearing a repeat his quirkless days, piped up. "Um, can I skip this potion today?"
The rest of the witches and Todoroki forgot about Bakugou for a second as they faced him.
Deku nervously laughed. "I mean….I...haven't really used this quirk as long as my two friends have, so like….I don't wanna risk..."
"Come on Deku!" called out Bakugou, returning everyone's attention towards him. "Having your quirk taken away for a moment isn't that bad. Like you said Izawa does it all the time."
Todoroki raised an eyebrow at Bakugou's smiling expression. "What are you so happy about?"
"Oh nothing, it's just that I'm glad this potion seems to work, is all." assured Bakugou.
"So you really can't perform any magic?" checked Diana.
"Not at all," shook Bakugou, too innocently. "But maybe, if I tried hard enough, I might."
"Ha!" scoffed Amanda. "Not even the strongest witch can overcome nullification potions or spells. I've tried when Finnelan restrained me once."
"I mean, if I try really hard, I could." hinted Bakugou.
"You won't," countered Sucy. "I made sure to use the strongest version of this potion, so we still got like four minutes to go."
Akko's eyes widened. "Um, guys I think Bakugou…"
Bakugou confirmed Akko' fears. "See, I think if I could just snap my fingers like this…"
A loud SNAP! was followed by a loud BOOM!
An explosion emitted from Bakugou's hand, the shockwave sending all the students flying back a bit except for Todoroki who instinctively put up an ice shield.
Bakugou admired his work. Luckily his explosion was pointed upwards so he had the satisfaction of seeing everyone knocked down, while not risking any injuries that would land him in further trouble. While everyone had been distracted by Deku's fearful remarks, he lit up a silent spark in his hand which had confirmed he could still use his quirk. All he needed then was some successful bait to make it all the funnier.
Lukic meanwhile hadn't taken any risks the moment Bakugou drank the potion and had thus protected herself with a barrier spell. "Well children, what can we learn from this?"
"New theory." coughed Diana as she got and opened her notebook. "You can't apparently silence quirks with nullification potions and likely ditto for nullification spells."
"And probably vice versa." stammered Deku, thinking of Izawa's quirk as he stood on his feet, helping Amanda and Akko up too.
The rest of the class was dedicated to silently putting everything back together. Bakugou of course had to do most of the work, but he had a 'worth it' expression the whole time.
