Author's note: The previous chapter was updated a few days ago to expand on Todoroki and Amanda's relationship. The first chapter has also been rewritten, but keeps the central premise without changing anything in the story.

Another session of broom flying class went by. The witches waited patiently for Diana and the heroes to return from the air. While all the witches had shown a slight improvement in dodging the heroes' attacks, most of the combat was in favor of the UA students.

The exceptions were Diana and Amanda of course, whose progress always rendered the heroes too tired to do any other physical activity for the rest of the day. Akko on the other hand still maintained perfect flight and evasion skills for some unknown reasons if quirks were being shot at her, and thus the heroes refused to fight her.

Thus, Akko was always left bored during the class, having long gotten over the humor in seeing the other witches who mocked her flying ability annihilated by quirks.

"Come on! When is she coming back down." complained Akko.

Amanda slapped her shoulder. "Quit whining, I can see her."

"And the guys?" asked Akko.

Amanda squinted. "Just barely hanging on, literally."

Diana flew towards the witches an annoyed expression, as the exhausted heroes were sharing her broom. Bakugou had his arms around her, who would have loved the gesture if Bakugou wasn't a sweating mess. There was just enough room for the fatigued Todoroki and Deku as well, Diana having the foresight to use a larger broom.

Diana landed and the heroes disembarked, the witches realizing how overwhelming the chase against Diana, especially after an equally demanding confrontation with Amanda, had been. All three of them were panting and sweating, their eyes open with exhaustion.

By contrast, most of the witches just had a burn or bruise mark that would go away after a few hours.

Sucy took a shot at them. "Say something if you're still alive."

Bakugou raised his middle finger to her and tried to speak, only for nothing but gibberish to come out of his mouth in between gags and breathing.

"Wow, you got him to shut up for once." muttered Amanda to Diana, though the latter looked concerned, having never seen the heroes this out of it, even if she took pride in her improvement.

Professor Nelson rushed over. "Get them water now!"

Diana casted a spell to levitate three water bottles which the heroes grabbed quickly and joyously gulped down.

Deku, tried to communicate. "M-m-mo...mo"

"He wants more!" realized Amanda, prompting fast nods from him.

Nelson transfigured the water bottles into larger buckets, and Diana complimented her action with a spell that filled the buckets to the top with icy cold water.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" asked Akko, watching the heroes with a frown.

"Help by not doing anything." snarked Amanda.

The boys drank from the buckets before Todoroki dumped his head in his to cool off, a motion his classmates repeated.

Diana raised an eyebrow and looked at Amanda. "Just how bad did we...we…"

Diana's voice trailed off as she heard the sound of the heroes taking off their shirts drenched with sweat, revealing their impressive physiques. The witches that weren't Nelson, Constanze and Sucy gasped in awe. Everyone knew the heroes were jacked, but seeing their bodies was another spectacle entirely.

Then they dumped all the cold water down their body, causing the witches who gasped to begin blushing profoundly as they witnessed the bodies of the UA boys glow in the sunlight.

"They really eat their protein don't they?" mused Jasminka.

Akko, Diana and Amanda of course, felt more than just embarrassing, but the other witches were only okay with the heroes no matter how much they appreciated their aesthetic. As for the trio, they were witnessing something akin to Olympic Gods relieving themselves after giving them the fight of a lifetime.

Sure the heroes looked pathetic, but their history and the emotions they had shared with their guides caused the three witches to feel twitchy on the inside. Nelson realized what they were really thinking with their lustful gazes, already aware of their crushes, and sighed.

Todoroki noticed how they were thinking and began blushing himself, the other two heroes once more following his lead as they followed his gaze. An awkward pause between the two parties ensued.

Regardless, Deku spoke up, oblivious to the implications of his words. "Guys, don't your pants feel really sticky and all that?"

"I guess." shrugged Todoroki.

"Yeah, they a need a fucking wash." agreed Bakugou.

Right as the heroes tugged on their pants to remove them, Akko suddenly heard Bakugou's voice called out, even though the Bakugou in front of her wasn't moving his lips.

"GET THE FUCK UP!"

"FUCKING GET UP!"

"Kaachan! Stop it!"

"Yeah, this is too much."

"FUCK OFF BOTH OF YOU."

Akko jolted awake to find herself in her dorm with the three UA boys all dressed up and looking normal, surrounding her. She realized that she was dreaming about the heroes in the aftermath of a broom flying class that never happened, as much as she wanted it to.

She turned just as red as she was in her dream, hoping that the heroes didn't realize what she had been thinking about as she slept. Had she been woken up a few seconds later, the guys would've walked in on her saying and perhaps even doing some inappropriate things.

Akko wasn't a stranger to such experiences, having had dreams about Andrew and certain others over the last year, but this was her first sexual fantasy about the heroes. Luckily for her, those three were too busy arguing to realize the implications.

Akko rolled her eyes and yelled to get their attention. "What are you guys doing?"

Deku shot her an excited look. "We're waking you up for Fusion Magic Class! Sounds fun!"

Akko's eyes widened. "Nooo! That's a second period class, I missed potions!"

"Chill the fuck out," hastily said Bakugou. "That Lukic bitch knew you had a shit ton of extra work, so she let you sleep rather than cause a major fuck up."

Todoroki encouraged her. "You didn't miss much. Lukic wouldn't let Sucy do anything that would provoke a reaction from him." Todoroki glanced at Bakugou, who scowled at him.

"Alright I guess." muttered Akko. After she set the kitchen on fire the other day during culinary class and failed to report it, she had been given multiple assignments that forced her to work extra hours in the night. She still had more to go.

Another thing puzzled Akko. "Are Sucy and Lotte headed to class?"

"Yeah, so Sucy sent us to get you." mused Deku innocently.

"She did?" Akko's face almost turned angry. She felt that Sucy knew she'd be having erotic dreams about the heroes and probably set them up for an ambush. Then again, Akko reassured herself otherwise by noting that she'd done a good job hiding her more awkward aspect whenever she fantasized about Andrew.

It seemed more likely Sucy sent the heroes over so Bakugou could wake her up like a drill sergeant, which certainly was the case.

Akko shrugged. "Whatever then."

As she stretched and took off her blanket, Deku eyed the Scorbunny plush next to her, utterly touched that she kept it close.

Deku pointed to it as he caught Akko's attention. "Heh, you really like it, don't you?"

She glanced at the Scorbunny and smiled as she hugged it close. "I do! Thank you so much for winning him Deku! He's the best."

Deku's mouth hung agape as she stared at Akko cuddling the stuffed doll. Getting her that plush lead to him receiving his first kiss on the cheek from Akko, the first he received from a girl that wasn't his mother of course. And speaking of his mother, Deku couldn't help but be reminded of her.

Maybe it was her ponytail or hair style, but Deku thought about how his mother would embrace him like how Akko did with the Scorbunny. Hell, he also remembered how Akko held him when he got turned into a four year old a few days back. The entire sight of seeing Akko so cute, yet motherly, really drove his hormones.

His frozen stare was interrupted by Bakugou of course.

"Hurry the fuck up and change so we can get to class! And stop staring at your girlfriend Deku so she can move her ass!" he roared.

Deku's and Akko's eyes shrunk as they both blurted. "Girlfriend?"

Todoroki saved face by opening the door and stepping out. "You two coming?"

Deku sprinted to the exit to let Akko get dressed while Bakugou stomped on behind him. His heart beat quickly, and he was certain that the same was happening to his two classmates and the witches they were close to.

Bakugou slammed Akko's door shut as Deku gulped, trying to think about academics again which tended to shut down the other parts of his mind.

"So, any idea what fusion magic class is gonna be like?" asked Deku.

Todoroki raised his eyebrows. "Weren't you the one eager to read about magic and Luna Nova on our first night here?"

Deku shrugged. "Yeah, but other than a vague idea of what fusion magic is, I haven't really read that much into it since I can't find anything online given that magical society doesn't have that much presence on the web. And the books I had didn't go into too much detail, but the librarian wouldn't let me in to learn about fusion magic since…"

Diana's sudden appearance cut off Deku's rambling. "There you three are!"

Amanda of course joined her. "We hurried up as soon as Sucy spilled the beans."

Bakugou stood tall, slightly annoyed. "Do you always have to follow us?"

Amanda crept closer to him. "Hey, I don't wanna take any risks with whatever Finnelan's definition of guiding and supervision and all that crap is."

"Furthermore, we need to escort you all to where class is." pointed Diana.

"But Akko could just show us the way." said Deku confusedly.

"Imagine trusting her." snickered Amanda.

Diana smiled devilishly to Bakugou. "Besides, don't you enjoy our company at this point."

Bakugou was cut off guard, almost making him drop his confrontational demeanor. "I mean I do. We fucking went over this."

"So I fail to see the complaint." remarked Todoroki, noticing Amanda was giving him the same look.

At this point, all parties were aware of their feelings for each other, even Bakugou and Diana who were still trying to convince themselves otherwise. Even amongst the other four, a mixture of hesitance and pride engulfed their willingness to confess and that wasn't even getting to Amanda and Todoroki getting side tracked by their discovery the previous day.

Just then, Akko entered the hallway and joined the rest, all dressed up and ready to go.

"Ah, if it isn't the kitchen nightmare." snarked Amanda.

Akko pouted, knowing the fire was going to haunt her for the next week. "Very funny."

Diana folded her arms and turned to Amanda. "Speaking of nightmares, what were you doing yesterday with Todoroki? I saw you two return together."

Amanda and Todoroki glanced at each other. Evidently Amanda had kept her excursion to Appleton under wraps, which worked as part of their initiative to not drag anyone to the villain lest they get their mind wiped.

"Weren't you going to go see what those private armies were offering for your dad?" remembered Deku.

Todoroki kept his face from cracking. "I was."

"And I get the feeling that you were trying to cause trouble Amanda?" accused Diana.

Amanda shrugged. "I was, but he talked me out of it."

Diana was about to raise her voice, but moved on, leading the others to class. "Digressing, let's not be late I suppose."

Amanda and Todoroki let their classmates go on ahead a good few paces while they quietly discussed their turn of events. She tugged on his arm to halt him to ensure that they would go unheard.

"Any word from your dad?" asked Amanda.

"He's thinking about making a purchase for some mercs to head to Japan. Wouldn't say which company. In any case Japan needs to work some laws and I just figured my dad will do the opposite of what I suggest anyway." explained Todoroki.

Amanda rolled her eyes. "I got you there. The more you say no, the bigger his ego gets."

Todoroki nodded and bit his lip in defeat. His father having an army in Japan after centuries of the nation's conventional one being practically non existent in the age of heroes worried him. "I still think it's best we not send anyone to Cynthia's way because looking at her company's arsenal, I'd be surprised if she didn't have this school bugged."

"Right, and I for one would rather not have false memories that make me suicidal or turn on you. I'm sure we can find someone to work this out." stated Amanda.

Just then, Bakugou yelled at the two from across the hall. "Hey! Are fuckers done already."

Akko slapped his shoulder. "Give them their moment jeez."

Amanda and Todoroki realized they had been talking for longer than they had intended, and obviously their classmates noted quickly.

As far as Deku, Akko, Diana and Bakugou knew, Amanda and Todoroki were just having an intimate moment, and they weren't too far off. Once the two rejoined the group, no one demanded to know what was being said, quelling their fears.

At this point, the two groups of students were waiting to see who would confess to each other first, even if they pretended otherwise. All three of the witches had pretty much developed sexual feelings for the heroes as well, while those three were still effectively working out handling their feelings regarding women akin to a delayed puberty.

Diana spoke up to kill the silence. "I hope you three are aware you aren't off the hook after your roughhousing in the dining hall, because I heard you'll be receiving your sentence this period."

With all the attention focused on Akko's fire, almost everyone had forgotten that the heroes themselves had engaged in malicious acts. Bakugou broke Sucy's nose in retaliation for her potioning him, Todoroki froze Bakugou to give Amanda's cooking some praise and Deku knocked out his two classmates out to do the same for Akko.

While the professors of Luna Nova had given up on trying to restrain the boys since day one, not paid enough to handle their crap, Badcock's horrible mood after the fire and the death of her magical restaurant pitch caused her to take an extra initiative.

Bakugou remained haughty, blowing it off like no big deal. "Whatever, what the fuck are they gonna do to us anyway?"

Amanda raised her eyebrows. "Buddy, it's a magic school, there are a shit ton of things they can do to you."

Deku tried to stay positive. "Eh, all Sucy had to do was write a paper, I'm sure we'll be fine."

Amanda placed a hand on his shoulder, flustering Deku. "Uh, physically assaulting your two pals with your quirks is a whole other league of punishment compared to turning someone's skin green."

"Evidently, nothing elicits a professors hatred more than kitchen fire." observed Todoroki, whose remark got a laugh out of Bakugou, Diana and Amanda, even though he wasn't joking.

Diana's next statement however got everyone jumpy again. "Just be glad that they didn't cancel your invitation to 'The Dance With The Witches'."

Diana's placed a hand on her mouth once she realized what she had said, given the subject matter and the atmosphere between her classmates at the UA students.

Akko gasped. "Oh yeah! So glad I can still go with Lotte and Sucy."

Deku slowly raised a finger. "What's 'The Dance With The Witches'."

Amanda paused moving, and so did the others as she explained, her face sheepish. "It's this gala they have where the Appleton boys ask us Luna Nova Witches out for a night. Petty fru fru pretentious kind of crap only Diana could enjoy."

Diana stomped her feet. "I'll have you know that it's nothing but a waste of time when either of our schools would be better off studying instead of worrying about popularity and looks. I assume that you heroes wouldn't be the type of people to enjoy such ludicrous festivities as well?"

The heroes eyed each other nervously, all equally confused. The event sounded rather big if it combined two elite schools, making them wonder why it hadn't been brought up.

It made sense to them that Amanda and Diana would have cared less for a dance, and the fact that they had only really spent time with them and the evidently forgetful Akko at least explained why they had been kept out of the dark.

Deku spoke first. "I..I never really went to that kind of dance before. I mean there was that gala on that island a while back but we got interrupted by villains, so….yeah…"

Bakugou figured he had nothing to lose since Diana had no intention of attending. "Yeah, it ain't my shit."

Todoroki closed his eyes and nodded. "Likewise."

Amanda placed her hands behind her hands behind her head. "Well, I guess anyone that isn't Akko here will probably just skip the damn thing."

Akko glared at her, but to Deku's frustration, she didn't immediately proclaim that he would be attending the dance too, which would implicitly be her asking him out.

He gulped as he lost himself in mumbling thoughts. 'Oh man, did Akko ask Andrew out to this thing weeks before I even showed up to Luna Nova? I mean, the entire premise of the dance is for Appleton and Luna Nova students to get together which is weird because I thought they were anti-magic, but Andrew and Akko clearly have some sort of spark. Logically speaking, Andrew is a wonderfully attractive man that I would ask out in a heartbeat if I was Akko before any other witch did, and Andrew clearly should know about the effects of his appearances on others, so he would seek Akko out too and…"

The mental mutterings were interrupted as Akko raised an eyebrow while she stared at the nervous boy. "Um, Deku?"

Deku's snapped back to reality again and thought of an excuse. "Oh, um I thought the Appleton guys really hated witches."

Amanda, an expert on all things Appleton due to her escapades, answered his concerns. "Well, all the non witchy girls our age are at another school a city away, so those dorks have to cut their shit for a night if they want anything close to a date."

Diana shrugged. "It's one of the three nights where we bury the hatchet."

The witches and heroes stared at each other. They knew how awkward the topic was, and yet couldn't move on. At that point it felt as if one side was waiting for the other to make the first move in asking them out on a date. However, Bakugou's and Diana's egos and insistence on denial, Todoroki and Amanda's self proclaimed indifference, and finally, Deku's unwillingness to find out if Akko had asked Andrew out prevented anyone from speaking up.

Todoroki asked another question. "What are the other two nights your schools get along?"

"Our and their school play respectively." quickly replied Diana.

Bakugou looked surprised. "Huh, coulda sworn this was the type of school where you just crossdress if you needed males for that shit."

Todoroki quickly looked at Amanda, who eyed him back and shook her head.

"Nah, that's an overdone gimmick." she quickly remarked, hoping to bury any suspicion of what she did at Appleton.

For once, Akko was the one who brought others back to reality. "Uh guys, aren't we forgetting something?"

Diana's mouth dropped as she clenched her fists. "Oh God, we're gonna be late for fusion class." This was the reason she hoped she would never be distracted by such intimate and suggestive topics before reaching her twenties. It was just an obstacle to her dream of achieving magical perfection.

But then again she realized, wasn't she drawn to Bakugou because he felt the same about being a hero? Their respect for each other was based entirely on being the best, so Diana at least took comfort in the fact that he wouldn't let her slip.

He himself looked just as strained as she did, and had no intention of being late.

Bakugou groaned. "Fuck it. Run."

"What?" blurted Akko.

"RUN!" yelled Bakugou, this time issuing it as a command.

The heroes made a dash for it, with the witches trailing behind. Quirks or not, the heroes were still in adept physical condition, while only Amanda had an athletic build amongst the witches.

Diana loathed running in the halls, but the literal rush of the situation forced her to do otherwise. Her increased workouts over the last few weeks at least allowed her to fare better than the panting and outpaced Akko.

Luckily, they managed to arrive at the door of the class when all the other witches were, slowing down a bit to avoid a collision with someone else.

Of course, Sucy had to have noticed them coming in. "Was she that much of a pain to get up?"

"Fuck off." hissed Bakugou, who stepped in front of her to enter the classroom.

"Are you gonna participate in this class?" asked Todoroki, checking to see if he should keep his guard up.

Sucy's face turned sulken. "Nope, fusion class involves potions. Consider yourselves lucky."

Akko on the other hand was elated. "Woohoo! Nothing's gonna happen to me."

Amanda nudged her in the room. "Yeah, you're probably not allowed to touch anything too."

Everyone took their seats, with Akko, Diana and Amanda forced to sit together as per the regulations for the month, specifically next to table the heroes were at which of course had no items on it.

Once everyone was settled in, there was silence, with most of the tension between being the heroes and the professor teaching the class, who was none other than Finnelan herself.

Finnelan was one of the more vocal professors about the heroes' presence at Luna Nova, likening them to an entire trio of Akkos or Amandas in their capacity to cause trouble. For the most part they had avoided contact, but this week, it was her turn to teach the second period class.

One of Finnelan's courses was magic linguistics, which like Badcock's second period course of numerology, was something the heroes skipped. Today's course was Magical Fusion class however, which could invoke quirks in its curriculum, much to Finnelan's to dismay.

The professor gazed at the boys, with only Bakugou of course showing her any signs of hostility. True he had no longer thought ill of magic, but no teacher at Luna Nova was under the impression they were going to win his respect within a month.

Finnelan rolled her eyes and greeted the students. "Good morning, today marks the first time we shall be focusing on using magical fusion techniques on quirks, with our hero guests being our test subjects for the class."

The heroes weren't as shocked as they could have been. They were used to being tested on at this point during potions or cooking class. This was just another round.

Deku raised his hand.

"Yes?" snapped Finnelan.

"So magical fusion is when mages are combine their magic to cast more powerful spells, so how would this work with quirks which are more physical abilities?" asked Deku.

"That's what we're here to find out," shrugged Finnelan. "I think you three boys are already insanely powerful enough as it, but there are multiple methods we use to induce fusion amongst witches, so I believe we can achieve something."

Bakugou didn't even bother to raise his hand. "Ma'am, there's no way I'm ever gonna be in sync with these two idiots. That's like asking Akko and Diana to do it."

"Hey!" yelled Akko.

"I fail to see the lie though." muttered Diana, which elicited similar mummers amongst the class.

"You are in absolutely no condition to argue young man," scolded Finnelan. "And I strongly suggest refraining from any further comments if you wish to take part in the class excursion this Friday night?"

Everyone's eyes widened.

Lotte sprang to attention. "What excursion? Like a trip?"

Finnelan closed her eyes. "Yes, Professor Ursula has found it suitable to take the entire class on an outing to Bath, which obviously is famous for its hot springs. I trust the four students from Japan here find it similar to what you call...an onsen?"

The mouths of the heroes dropped out of sheer surprise. They nodded to confirm the similarity to an onsen trip. Now, the boys had already been on onsen trips with the girls from UA, who were of course separated on their own side, as would be the case on Luna Nova's trip.

It didn't take a genius, however, to realize that this specific trip meant something else entirely for not just the hero trio, but the three witches they were obviously crushing on and vice versa.

Even Diana's stoic exterior started to fade upon thinking about the idea of Bakugou wrapped in a towel or naked in a hot spring. She quickly tried to remove the thought from her head. Ironically, Bakugou tried to do the same when he pictured a naked Diana.

And then Sucy had to raise her own voice. "So just Professor Ursula will be taking us?"

"Yes, the rest of us are too old for that nonsense but don't for a second think that gives you a green light to do SOMETHING to the hot spring water just because she's more lenient." said Finnelan.

Bakugou, Deku and Todoroki then quickly eyed each other as their attention shifted to Urusula of all people. The three of them secretly knew about Ursula's true identity as Chariot, and one thing was all on their mind, their first childhood crush's curvy naked body in steaming water. Yet another picture to drive them further into their delayed puberty.

Finnelan noted their blushing red faces, as did Akko, Diana and Amanda. While no one was the wiser about Ursula's secret amongst the magical faction, it was common knowledge that Ursula's toned and voluptuous body was a goal to achieve.

Before letting any of the jealous three witches do something, Finnelan knocked her knuckles on the podium to rally everyone's attention. "I know you all are...excited, but we have a lesson to get through. We will now all be attempting to induce fusion of the boys' quirks through the methods I have outlined on your tables. If you feel that the methods are impossible for your group to achieve, move onto another one."

As the class got to work, preferring not to think about the destructive outcomes about fusing the quirks of heroes with interesting characters, Todoroki raised his concerns. "Is this safe? It's all untested after all."

Finnelan shot him a confused look. "Has that question ever stopped anyone in a hero or magical school before?"

"Well I'd rather die than have my quirks fuse with these two fuckers." admitted Bakugou.

Finnelan face palmed. "Such insolence and a lack of cohesion! Back in North Africa we knew how to work as a team and command respect."

The heroes and witches knew where this was going and all yelled a collective "NOOOOO!"

Finnelan ignored them and continued. "In the deserts of the Maghreb me and my unit had nothing but each other as we were detained by the Italian army. One of my subordinates suggested we use wandless fusion magic to bust out while the guards were distracted by getting Erwin Rommel's signature."

"And you did that?" interrupted Deku, hoping to end the flashback early.

"NO!" denied Finnelan. "It was too dangerous so I ordered everyone to sit tight and reminiscence about Gaelic Runes. Some Corporal tried to talk about how learning Gaelic Runes lead to a most scandalous encounter before I forced him to change the subject back to the Runes and only that. Unfortunately, those horny witches and wizards felt that was the last straw and tried to use wandless fusion magic anyway while I tried to stop them!"

"And you won right?" hoped Todoroki.

"Those Italians gunned down my entire platoon," contradicted Finnelan who paused for a long time as the entire room collectively stared at her. "I haven't been the same ever since."

Amanda whispered in Akko's ear. "That explains everything."

As Finnelan's hero-induced flashback prevented her from paying full attention, Sucy had used the time to secretly tamper with that Hannahand Barbara were setting up, despite her only being allowed to observe.

She would have her revenge for not being able to take part in any of her favourite activities.

For the next half hour, the witches continued mixing potions or refining spells in a way that they hoped, or rather hoped not, would lead to the heroes fusing their quirks in some way. The UA trio of course merely stared at their phones, which given the alternative of having to actually supervise three boys she found a burden, Finnelan allowed.

Finally, Finnelan cast a spell that sounded off an alarm to alert the witches that time was up, and that the heroes would be tested against their will.

"Alright, it's time for us to see the results of your labor," announced Finnelan. "Any witch willing to go first?"

Diana naturally raised her hand first, eager to show off what she hand done. She glanced at Bakugou, having caught his attention.

The two looked into each other's eyes for a brief moment before Diana shot him a slightly smug half smile. She knew that he loathed being used as a guinea pig for magic-quirk experiments, but that he also considered her to be the best magical kind had to offer. If there was anyone whose judgement he could trust, it was her, and Diana of course would trust her own judgement before any of the other witch's anyway.

As expected, Bakugou returned the arrogant half-smile as a go ahead. He was sure that Diana prevented Akko and Amanda from doing something stupid.

Finnelan however, had another idea. "While I trust that you performed above expectations as usual Diana, it would be useful for us to see if any of the alternative methods have any value before we dwell on the inevitable success."

Diana looked insulted, and while she could see the logic in that statement, she still wished to overlook what would be an inevitable failure in her eyes.

The other witches looked terrified. They had totally relied on Diana going first as usual to save themselves from humiliation given that they were experimenting in totally new territory, or at least the wrath of Bakugou should any of their solutions result in something abhorrent. Finnelan

had evidently realized this.

Sucy took this as the opportune time to enact revenge, and started it by pinching Hannah on the back.

"Ah!" shrieked Hannah.

Finnelan raised her eyebrows. "I see we have a volunteer."

The color drained from Hannah and Barbara's faces as they were completely uncertain about what their fusion potion would do, still ignorant about Sucy's tampering. Sucy herself kept a straight face on to ward off suspicion, but the heroes knew Hannah's shriek had to come from somewhere.

Barbara took the initiative in bringing the three vials of the potion to the heroes, quite slowly given her hesitance in approaching Bakugou.

Surprisingly though, he didn't shoot her a death glare. Deep down, he felt that if he was going to get along with Diana, then he needed to at least feign respect for her friends, even though he had never hung out with any of the witches besides her, Akko and Amanda.

Barbara tried to string words together. "Um, the way that this works is that all three of you have to drink the potion and um...uh...maybe you use your quirks...they'll fuse...or combine...or something I don't know."

"It's alright!" assured Deku. "Science is all about trial, error and repeats."

"I'll see this out." Todoroki shot Sucy a dirty look, but otherwise took the initiative in being the first person to drink his potion, followed by Deku and Bakugou.

For a few seconds nothing happened, everyone waiting in anticipation.

Akko clenched her fists. "Are you guys feeling okay?"

"I don't feel different." shook Deku.

Amanda took a step forward in their direction. "Maybe you should use your quirks?"

Diana agreed. "Yes, fusion magic comes about when mages are casting spells, so logically magically induced quirk fusion should work when you're using your own powers."

"Alright dipshits, on my count." ordered Bakugou.

Finnelan was quick to react. "LOW POWER ONLY. No frozen classrooms or anything like that."

"Yeah yeah yeah." groaned Bakugou.

"I'm ready." confidently said Deku.

Todoroki took a deep breath. "Same."

Bakugou readied his hands. "Quirks on three. One...two….three!"

They fired their powers, and then a bright light engulfed the room.
