*Midoriya's P.O.V*
"About time you damn nerd." Bakugou said.
"Good to see you too. So do you two have a plan?" I asked.
"We fight." Bakugou said.
"We run." Monoma said.
How did I guess this? Actually it wasn't that hard to figure out. However, something I didn't guess... was Mr. Aizawa's voice over the intercom.
"A slight rule change by the request of All Might." He started, "Midoriya is allowed to use his Quirk to fight."
"But...?"
"But he must wear his weights."
*Fwoosh* *Fwoosh*
"Deal." I said putting them on, "I've been doing nothing this whole time, and the only time I did do something was slapping people."
"However, the other rules apply. Using your Quirk to transport your classmates, and you escaping is still prohibited." He explained.
"I already went through my freebies." I informed Monoma and Bakugou.
"But we can still fight." Bakugou said making mini explosions in his hands.
"No, we have to run! We can't beat All Might-"
"You know there's a word out there, it's on the tip of my tongue. Starts with a C ends with an E. A synonym for 'Agreement'?"
...
...
"Compromise?" Monoma asked.
"Yes, morons. You two want to do two different things. So compromise." I said as I pointed at Bakugou, "You want to fight." I then pointed at Monoma, "You want to run. So what should you two do."
"... Fight." Bakugou said.
"... Run." Monoma added.
"So with that in mind. What's your plan?" I asked.
"... I'll go around the battle zone. All the while You and Bakugou will fight off All Might. He should notice me not being there, but he would be too focused on you two that it won't matter." Monoma said, "Your thoughts?"
"So long I get to fight All Might, I'm all for it." Bakugou said with a sadistic smirk.
... We're so doomed.
We entered the battle stage. Once we did Monoma took off to the right, hoping to go around the perimeter of the battle area. All the while Bakugou and I began walking towards the center, towards All Might.
"You made sure to give him your power in case All Might finds him first right?" I asked.
"I felt him tap my shoulder. He's fine." Bakugou said.
"Good now le-"
I looked in front of me and saw a giant wave of dust and debri. It was too fast and too sudden, I couldn't brace for the sudden impact, as Bakugou and I fleww faw backwards.
"Who cares if I destroy a city... or capture one of your friends." All Might said as I saw him holding onto Monoma... looks like that plan failed. All Might walked out of the dust cloud and slammed his foot onto the ground, causing another shockwave to erupt from him.
"If you just think of this as an exam and not a real fight, you'll be sorry. I'm a villain now, heroes. Remember that. You'd better come at me with everything you've got. I won't pull my punches." He said.
... Man, he's so intimidating. I like it... wait, Monoma's hand.
'Pretend'. I see... interesting.
"Bakugou, change of plans." I muttered.
"I know, save him, and fight." He said as he got ready. Seems he's none the wiser about Monoma's signal. Works for me.
"Right. Let's go." I said as I got ready to fight.
"Here I come, HEROES!" All Might yelled.
"Get back!" Bakugou yelled, I jumped back and Bakugou utlized his 'Stun Grenade' enveloping All Might in a bright white glow.
"I'll take him now." I said as I dove into the white light and punched him square in the face. Once he was staggered I grabbed Monoma and set him aside.
"The minute I say 'Plus Ultra' Get ready to run." I whispered before rejoining the fight.
Bakugou sent a blast to All Might's front, while I kicked him in the back and jumped over him.
"Monoma's conscious, don't yell it out." I muttered before unleashing a flurry of punches, which All Might dodged with ease.
"Get back nerd!" Bakugou yelled.
I nodded and pulled back, Bakugou used one of his gauntlets to blast All Might, but he jumped out of the way.
"Is he going to wake up anytime soon?" Bakugou asked.
"The moment I say Plus Ultra he'll get up and run. We need to cover for him."
"I'm sorry, what was that?"
"Gaah!" I yelled as I jumped out of the way, "Well so much for the Element of Surprise. PLUS ULTRA!" I yelled as Monoma got up and ran towards the exit. Bakugou and I stood in front of All Might. "Time for the second phase."
"I won't let you!" All Might yelled as he rushed towards Monoma, but I chased after him and punched him in the side. He blocked and I started unleasing a flurry of punches, not to hurt, but to stall. Bakugou joined in and began attacking as well, but All Might is too fast!
"It seems you haven't noticed, Young Midoriya." All Might said.
"What?" I asked.
"Those weights are heavier than your normal ones. Combined about 100 kilos heavier. Not enough for you to notice, but enough to slow your movements." All Might said as he blocked one of my hits.
"Then I'll just have to swing faster then!" I yelled as I started upping the output of One for All. If I can withstand up to 2.1 tons without much reprocussion, then I should be able to use One for All... at 15% without much reprocussion. There's a light stinging sensation, but after trudging around in 2 ton weights for a few weeks it helps me get used to One for All.
"D-Did you get faster?!" All Might asked.
"Like I said." I answered before punching him in the stomach, "I'll just have to swing faster!"
I glanced towards Monoma, he's about half way to the exit, and All Might looks nervous. "Sorry boys... but I can't let him just run!" All Might yelled as he gripped Bakugou's forearm and batted me away with Bakugou. As I was sent flying into a building Bakugou was cast aside so All Might could chase Monoma.
"Shit!" I exclaimed as I pried myself off the building and rushed towards All Might. "BAKUGOU GET UP!" I yelled... but he didn't move. Is he fucking out cold?! Oh great, I'm stressed out, and when I'm stressed out I swear... Mom's gonna kill me.
No, forget about that now, my life is on the line here. How much time do I have? I kicked All Might into a building to check my phone, I set a timer for 30 minutes so I can have a fair estimate as to HOOOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT! 5 fucking minutes?!
"Monoma, run! We have 5 minutes left!" I yelled.
"R-Right." He said before running towards the exit.
"Nice try heroes!" All Might yelled as he continued rushing towards Monoma... damn it, I'm all alone against All Might... while Monoma runs.
"Alone or with a partner makes barely any difference. Let's go All Might!" I yelled as I rushed towards him.
"I respect your courage, hero!" All Might yelled as he turned to face me. I threw a punch, but he read it like a magazine at the dentist. He grabbed my hand and slammed me repeatedly on the ground. Only for him to throw me far from the exit. Shoot, Monoma's all alone and there is no hope for me to make it there in time.
I glanced at my phone... two minutes. What are my options. If I rush back then I would just be thrown back. Monoma is no where near the exit, and even if he was All Might would just throw him back. I can't step out of the door... or I'll fail. I can't defeat All Might before the time limit. And Monoma can't take my power or else he'll destory his body. So what's the plan here?!
... I only have one option.
I looked at Bakugou's unconscious body. Sacrifice one, to save the other two. I gripped Bakugou's arm and spun him around to build up speed. I just have to time it right... NOW!
I let go of Bakugou's body and pulled out my phone... 30 seconds left. I rushed after him in case All Might would get him... and I want to at least make my sacrifice good for the highlight reel, Bakugou will be a literal rocket.
"H-Huh... what the hell?!" Bakugou yelled.
"Just let it happen! You're sailing for the exit!" I yelled while recording this whole thing.
"THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU RECORDING IT?!" Bakugou exclaimed.
"HIGHLIGHT REEL!" I yelled back.
"Oh no you don't hero!" All Might yelled but I kicked him down onto the ground.
There was 2 seconds to spare, as Bakugou sailed out of the door. They passed... but I failed.
"Well, at that point. A sacrifice needed to be made." I said before walking away.
Better if one person failed then two people.
"MIDORIYA FAILED?!" Everyone except Iida, Uraraka, Asui, and Yaoyorozu exclaimed.
"... Yes, yell it to the heavens, that'll go great for my self-esteem." I muttered while tapping my desk. It was the next day... also know as the last day before summer vacation starts.
"HOW?!" They asked with the same high volume.
Before I could answer Mr. Aizawa entered the room causing everyone to sit down.
"Morning. Unfortunately one of you failed the practical due to infringing on the rules set for that person."
"What am I? Lord Voldemort? You could just say my name you know..." I muttered.
He ignored me, "So, when it comes to the training camp in the woods... EVERYONE IS GOING!" Mr. Aizawa exclaimed.
Should have figured as much... but of course, "There's always a catch."
"I will get to that, but first, allow me to explain the purpose of the practical exam. For the practical battles, the teachers made sure to leave a way for the students to win, even with Midoriya's help. Otherwise you never would have stood a chance. We were interested in observing how you each worked together and approached the task at hand." Mr. Aizawa explained.
"But didn't you promise that the teachers wouldn't be holding back?" Ojirou asked.
"We've had this man for what? 3 months now, and you haven't caught on to his method of teaching yet?" I asked, "He was lying to us, in order for us to try harder."
"I'm glad someone was paying attention. As for the training camp, it will focus on building your strength. We were never going to separate you." He said with a smirk, "That was just a logical deception we used."
"He tricked us all... I should have expected this!" Iida muttered shaking, before shooting up out of his seat, "Mr. Aizawa, this is the second time you've lied to us. Aren't you afriad we'll lose faith in you?" Iida asked.
"Uh, a little blunt there, Tenya." Uraraka said.
"That's a good point. I'll consider it. But I wasn't lying about everything." He said.
"Here comes the catch." I muttered.
"Failure is failure. As such we've prepared extra lessons for you specifically." He said looking at me. "Though, considering you and Yaoyorozu got a perfect score on the written exam... and the fact that you finished in under an hour just so you can nap, you clearly don't need them. Works for me... that way I don't have to teach you. However, we have... other things in mind for you." He said with a smirk that could give any villain nightmares.
"... Awesome." I muttered.
"Class dismissed."
The remaining classes rolled over, and it was after school time.
"This is going to be great. I'm so glad we're all going together." Ojirou said.
"Looks like we'll be at the training camp a full week." Iida said.
... Which reminds me, I need to pick up... some things before the trip. For reasons.
"Man, I don't even have a bathing suit." Kaminari muttered, "Guess I need to buy some stuff."
"Like night vision goggles." Mineta said.
"Whatever for?" I asked glaring at him.
"U-Uh... reasons." He stuttered.
"It better be for good reasons." I threatened.
"Guys, since we're off tomorrow and we finally finished exams, I have the best idea! Why doesn't 1-A go shopping together!" Hagakure exclaimed.
"Hey, yeah! We've only hung out like once as a class." Kaminari said.
"Bakugou. See you there right?" Kirishima asked... but Bakugou just walked away not saying a word. Probably upset that I failed the final just to save him and Monoma. Ehh, like I said. Sacrifices.
"What about you Todoroki?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"I visit my mom on days off." He said.
"You party poopers! Don't you ever get tired of being serious?!" Mineta asked.
"Good idea... hold that thought." I said before pulling out my phone, "Hey, Itake? Wanna come to the mall with 1-A and I?"
"Oh, sure, can I bring some of the 1-B girls?" She asked.
"Hold that thought." I said before looking down at Mineta, "You already know what I'm gonna ask."
"I-I'll behave!" He exclaimed.
"Good..." I said before putting my phone back onto my ear, "You're clear to go. Oh man, do I have things I wanna show you."
"Oh, like what?" She asked.
"It's a surprise. But I'm 100% certain you'll love them." I said a smirk growing on my face.
"I'll be waiting then. Bye!" She said before hanging up.
I put my phone away before looking at the others, "Oh yeah, Itake, and some of the 1-B girls are coming too. You have absolutely no say in it."
"B-But-"
"Great. Well gotta get going see you all later." I said before leaving to home. Oh shoot... I failed the final exam.
Mom's going to kill me.
"YOU FAILED?!" Mom yelled.
"W-Well yeah. But it was a sacrifice play. Save my partners by throwing myself into the lions den. It was a simple math decision." I said.
She sighed with annoyance and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Did I mention I love you a lot?" I asked.
"Yes, you did. 15 times before you told me YOU FAILED YOUR FINAL EXAM!" She yelled.
"Guess I have to say it 15 more times." I bartered.
"... And you make dinner every day until the training camp rolls around." Mom raised.
"I can, and I always say I would because you work so dang hard." I argued.
"Don't get smart with me." She said with her patented Mom Glare (TM). My one weakness... and cantalope, their phones are bad.
"O-On it." I muttered as I began making dinner.
Well... this is what I get for being a good person. Ehh it was kinda worth it.
That way I won't have to constantly fight my mom to make dinner.
