*Midoriya's P.O.V*
"BAHAHAHAHA! HOLY CRAP, WHAT THE HECK BAKUGOU?!" Kirishima and Sero laughed.
"Stop laughing! My Hair's gotten used to this and I can't get it back the right way." He muttered seething with rage, "Did you not hear me? I'll kill you both."
"I'd like to see ya try, pretty boy." Sero teased.
"WHAT'D YOU CALL ME?!" Bakugou yelled his rage causing his hair to pop back to normal... that's, kinda impressive actually.
"Hey, there it goes!" They said.
"Seems they haven't learned to not poke the angry bear." I commented.
"Awesome! You got to face actual villains? I'm super jealous!" Ashido exclaimed.
"Well, I didn't fight. All I did was help people evacuate and provide logistical support." Jirou said.
"But it still sounds like so much fun." Ashido commented.
"I spent basically the whole time training and cleaning the ship deck. Though there was this one day we caught a bunch of drug smugglers." As- Tsu, said.
"Okay, that's cool!" Jirou and Ashido commented.
"What about you Ochaco? How was your week?" Tsu asked as Uraraka was displaying... some growth interms of her power.
"I'd say that it was very enlightening." She said as she did some practice jabs in the air.
"I think she found her fighting spirit." Tsu said.
"Yeah that battle hero must've been something else." Jirou commented.
"After one week she's like a totally different person." Kaminari said as Mineta shook a finger at him.
"Different? Don't be fooled, Kaminari." Mineta said before showing the look of fear, "All women are demons at heart. They just hide their true personalities behind pretty faces."
"What the heck did Mt. Lady do to you?" Kaminari asked... I'm curious as well, but odds are I don't wanna know, "Everyone at my internship loved me- it was actually kinda great. Now if you wanna talk about the ones who really changed, it was those four." Kaminari said pointing at Iida, Todoroki, Bakugou, and myself.
"Oh yeah, the Hosu incident!" Sero said while Bakugou was gripping his shirt.
"Glad you guys made it back alive. Seriously." Kirishima said.
"I worried about you, too." Yaoyorozu said.
"You were lucky Endeavor, Best Jeanist, and Ingenium was there. To help you guys." Satou said.
"So cool! Just what I'd expect from the number 2 hero!"
"Lucky? Alive? Hah!" I exclaimed, "Those villains didn't stand a chance when they faced some of U.A's elite." I boasted.
"Damn straight. We came, we saw, we kicked their ass." Bakugou boasted as well.
"Some of the U.A's Elite? Then who else are you talking about?" Kaminari asked.
"Well if we're talking interms of Strength, Speed, Intellect, and Good Looks I obviously place second." I said.
"Second?!" Everyone exclaimed.
"Then who is first?" Satou asked.
"Obviously me!" Bakugou yelled.
"Hah! No, you're like 6th." I said which earned me a glare, "It's obviously belongs to Itake."
...
...
"Who?" Uraraka asked.
"Itake. The girl with the mushroom hat. She's clearly number 1 among the U.A's elite of first years." I explained.
"I'm sorry, she's not number 1." Kaminari said.
"Coming from the guy who was caught in her attack." I commented which caused him to jump and look away, "She may not be strong interms of strength, but her Quirk usage is a work of genius, like Tokoyami's usage of Dark Shadow. The only difference is that Dark Shadow's movements are easy to dodge. Itake's spores are almost invisible to the naked eye. Once you breath in those spores you're pretty much crippled. Not to mention how she can use it as a defensive measure." I explained, "You could cover your mouth and nose to not breath in the spores, but that also leaves you in a state of sufforcation. At some point you'll need to take a breath, and when you do, she'll be ready. She'll be a dangerous hero. And with hard work and training she'll destroy everyone."
...
...
"What?" I asked.
"N-Nothing." Uraraka commented.
"Anyway I'm second, Yaoyorozu's third, Todoroki's fourth, Iida's 5th, Bakugou's sixth, Tokoyami's seventh-"
"Morning class." Mr. Aizawa said as he entered the room, causing everyone to sit down in their seats.
"I AM HERE!" All Might yelled as we stood outside another ground area. "Hope you're ready to return to our lessons. Today it's Hero Basic Training. Feels like I haven't seen you in a while. Welcome back." He greeted, "Now then. Listen carefully for what's in store. We're going to be conducting a little race. Take everything you've learned from your internships and apply it to this rescue training."
Iida's arm shot up, "If this is rescue training, then shouldn't we be at the USJ instead?" Iida asked.
"Ah, that facility specialized in disasters. As I said earlier, this is a race. So prepare. You're about to step foot into Field Gamma! Inside, is an area full of factories that form an intricate labyrinth, so good luck finding your way around. You'll be competing in groups of five. Each person starts from a different location on the outskirts of the model city. I'll send a distress signal, and you do what you must to rescue me. Whoever finds me first wins!" He explained before slowly pointing at Bakugou, "But try to keep the property damage to a bare minimum, please."
"Why are you pointing at me?" Bakugou growled.
"Alright, first group get to your stations!" All Might yelled.
Thankfully I'm in the fourth group, "Alright, see you guys in a bit." I said before walking away.
"And where are you going?" Shoji asked.
"Somewhere that doesn't concern you." I said before running off.
"Hey Lunch Rush, Hey Mom." I greeted before I opened the fridge, it was such a common occurence at this point that Mom and Lunch Rush just said 'Hi' and 'What am I making'.
"I'm making a specialty from the U.S, mainly the state of Louisiana." I said as I pulled out the ingredients. Vegetable oil, all purpose flour, already prepped shirmp (I asked Lunch Rush if he could prepare them in exchange for me making lunch today for the school), a shrimp stock made out of shrimp shells (Also prepared in advance by Lunch Rush), the holy trinity of diced green pepper, diced onions, and diced celery, many cloves of garlic, sliced okra, various edible mushrooms sliced thinnly, and that's about it.
One long cooking process later... by long I mean it took about 15 minutes, I then started incorporating the other ingredients into the pot to make 'Shrimp and Mushroom Gumbo'. "And done." I said as I started serving 6 bowls of the Gumbo. I handed two plates to Lunch Rush and Mom, and sped off for the other recipients.
I burst into the 1-B room and handed a bowl to Itake, "Here you go." I said as she looked at me confused as to why I am here.
"Midoriya... why are you here?" Vlad King asked.
"Early Lunch Delivery. Didn't you see the hat?" I asked as I pointed to my patented delivery hat.
He shook his head, but I handed him a bowl, "So you won't rat me out to the boss." I said as I waited to see their opinions.
...
...
"Oh my god." Itake muttered, "It's... amazing." She muttered.
"She is correct, this is really good." Mr. King said, "Consider your silence bought."
"Awesome. Oh and this will be served at lunch so don't be jealous." I said before running out with my last covered bowl.
"And the winner is-"
*FWOOSH*
"I'm back!" I yelled as I handed All Might his bribery bowl of Gumbo all the while snipping Sero of his win.
"W-What? Where did you-"
"Oh my... Oh my... GOODNESS!" All Might yelled as he downed the whole bowl of Gumbo, "Excellent Gumbo, Young Midoriya. O-Oh, and congratulations!" All Might yelled as he handed my the 'Congratulations Sache'.
"Thanks, now gotta go. I owe Lunch Rush a lunch off." I said before speeding off.
"... But I guess you didn't know, as I said the story goes. Baby, now I got the flow. Cos I knew it from the start. Baby, when you broke my heart. That I had to come again, and show you that I'm real!"
It was really boring just constantly stirring a pot for 15 minutes, so I decided to jam out to American songs to pass the time. Seemed fitting considering I'm making Gumbo. It was then that a second voice decided to join.
"You lied to me!" I turned to see Present Mic... gah fuck it.
"All those times I said that I love you."
"You lied to me!"
"Yes, I tried, yes, I tried."
"You lied to me!"
"Evev though you knew I'd die for you."
"You lied to me!"
"Yes I cried. Yes I cri-i-ied!"
"Return of the mack"
"There it is"
"Return of the mack"
"Come on."
"Return of the mack"
"Oh my God."
"You know that I'll be back."
"Here I am."
"Return of the mack."
"Once again."
"Return of the mack."
"Top of the world."
"Return of the mack."
"Watch my flow."
"You know that I'll be back."
"Here I go!"
...
...
"AYE! That was straight fire little listener!" Present Mic yelled.
"Yeah, it was." I said as I looked into the pot, dark brown, like chocolate milk, perfect. I poured the ingredients and continued stirring.
"I was about to grill you for missing English Class, but you're already doing the assignment. Impressive." Present Mic said while marking his clipboard..
"... Sure, let's go with that." I said, "What was the assignment?" I asked.
"Pick a song in English, and sing it out loud." He explained.
...
...
"You don't happen to have footage of that do you?" I asked.
"Sorry little listener, that's being kept in a high security vault." Present Mic said.
"I'll pay you in Gumbo." I offered.
"Do you want it through Email or Flash Drive?" He asked.
"Flash Drive."
"Thank you come again!" I yelled as the last student grabbed their share. Afterwards I collapsed onto my stool, "Man... what a pain."
"Excellent work Midoriya." Lunch Rush praised, "Everyone loves your cooking."
"Well they better, I learned from mom who learned from you. It should be on par with 5 star restauraunts across the globe." I muttered.
"Well still, excellent work." He said.
"If you think this is good, wait till next week. These kids lack culture. Blasphemous if you ask me. Next week Mexican Food, specifically Menudo." I said.
"Doesn't that take like 10ish hours of prep work?" Lunch Rush asked as I jingled a key in front of him.
"Nezu got me a spare key, I'll be here in the morning of next Monday." I said before heading out of the kitchen.
Lunch ended and I entered the 1-A classroom... only to see Mineta's wearing an eyepatch. "Okay... I'll bite, what the hell happened to you?"
"J-Jirou stabbed me in the eye without reaso- OW!" Mineta yelled as his ear was pierced by her earphone jack.
"Lies... he spied on us via a hole in the wall." She said.
"Now THAT seems more likely." I said before sitting in my seat. Only to see everyone looking at me. "What?"
"Where were you during the exercise?" Kirishima asked.
...
...
"In the kitchen. Did you not see me serving up food?" I asked.
...
...
"WHAT?!" Everyone asked.
"But it was so good. I thought it was Lunch Rush's cooking." Uraraka said.
"I'll pretend to not be offended. I'd say I'm a pretty damn good cook." I said.
"Ehh, needed hot sauce." Bakugou said.
"Okay, listen." I said, "No everyone has a high hot sauce tolerance like you do. That's why I put hot sauce bottles on every table to satiate you people." I said.
"Okay, but that doesn't explain why you came ba-"
"Oh, Midoriya!" A voice yelled. I turned to see Itake.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked.
"I-I'm here to say thanks for the food." She said with a bow. "It was amazing!"
I smiled at her praise, then I turned to see everyone looking at me. "What now?"
"You made food for her first?" Everyone asked.
"Yeah. I made 5 preliminary bowls. One for Mom, one for Lunch Rush, one for Itake, one for Mr. King to buy his silence, and one for All Might... for his silence." I explained.
"B-But that's not fair!" Sero whinned.
"It's called favoritism. Unfair but it's real." I said with a smirk, before looking at Itake, "Get ready for next week though." I said before leaning in closer, "We're having Mexican Food."
"Oh! I always wanted to try that!" She exclaimed with excitement.
"Then get ready for next Monday." I said with a smile.
"What's happening next Monday?" Iida asked.
"Classified Information. Need to know basis." I said while waving him off. "Anyway, you need to go to class." I said.
"O-Oh right. Bye!" She said before running back to class.
Huh... looks like I have a reason to go all out next week.
