The students of Class 1-A were standing outside of the school, dressed in their hero costumes as they waited for Aizawa-sensei to explain how they were going to go about the simulation.

"Follow me," ordered Aizawa before walking off. Some of the students glanced at each other before they all followed after their teacher. The man had led them towards what looked like a shed for sports equipment.

"Ano, Aizawa-sensei?" questioned Izuku.

The green-haired boy was ignored as Aizawa unlocked the door. Once inside the shed, Aizawa pressed a hidden button, which revealed a hidden staircase. He turned to his students to find them staring with wide eyes.

"Well? Get down there," said Aizawa, narrowing his eyes at them.

Class 1-A quickly made their way down with Aizawa right behind them. When they reached the bottom they found themselves in a somewhat large room with another door, which Aizawa unlocked and led them inside. This door led them to a hallway with two paths and ten Ectoplasms standing before them.

Aizawa then turned to his students. "I'll keep this short. Ectoplasm here will lead each team to a room where you'll wait for your turn. While in your respective rooms you won't be able to watch the other fights since these simulations are to represent the unknown factor. Once all five fights have concluded we will review the fights back in the classroom and go over what you did right or what you did wrong. Understood?"

"Yes, Sensei!"

"Good," replied the teacher. "And remember, this is a team effort. So I suggest you work together if you want to pass."

The Erasure Hero then turned to Ectoplasm and gave the go ahead. The clones each took a team and led them down the halls, stopping at various doors and letting them inside. Now all the students could do was wait for their turns to come.

Kyouka rolled her eyes as she listened to her partner go into another one of his muttering sessions. Most people would be put off by it, but she found it somewhat endearing. Plus, if she were being honest, she sometimes went into a similar state when she was on a roll when writing her music. Regardless, she had to put an end to this before their turn came.

"Tsuyu can take care of herself, Midoriya," said Kyouka, making the green-haired boy jump in fright.

"Wh-What? H-How…?"

The rocker girl rolled her eyes once again. "I know a Quirk aficionado like you couldn't have forgotten that I have enhanced hearing. I could hear exactly what you were muttering. So what is it? You'd rather be teamed up with Tsuyu than me?"

"N-No! I-It's nothing like that, J-Jirou-san! I-I'm sure we'd m-make a g-great team as w-well!" exclaimed Izuku with a bright red blush.

Due to his embarrassment, Izuku didn't notice the smirk on Kyouka's face, signifying that she was just teasing him. She was starting to see why Tsuyu liked him so much…even if the frog girl wouldn't admit it.

"Calm down, Midoriya. I'm just messing with you," said Kyouka. "In all seriousness though, you don't need to worry about Tsuyu."

Izuku let out a sigh. "Normally, I would agree with you on that, Jirou-san, but Tsuyu was paired with Kacchan for this assignment. She doesn't know him like I do."

"Then just trust her, Midoriya. I know Bakugou can be an ass twenty-four seven, but Tsuyu's not one to be intimidated by someone like him."

"Th-That's what I'm afraid of," replied Izuku with a shudder, causing Kyouka to raise an eyebrow.

"As much as I hate to admit it, but Bakugou is not an idiot. I don't think he'll do anything to Tsuyu, especially with Aizawa-sensei watching."

Izuku could only hope that Kyouka was right. Then again, memories of middle school returned to his mind.

-:-

During the time Izuku and Kyouka had their conversation, Tsuyu and Bakugou had a conversation of their own. Although it was more like Bakugou glaring hatefully at Tsuyu while she gave him a bored look. Just as Bakugou was about to growl out something, the frog girl beat him to the punch.

"Whatever you have to say is not going to scare me or intimidate me like you want it to, gero. If you are upset over what I said about Midoriya-kun being a better hero than you, I am not sorry, gero," stated Tsuyu, staring Bakugou right in the eyes and not showing fear. "I don't know why you have such an inferiority complex, especially when it comes to Midoriya-kun, but I suggest you get over it, gero."

"Fuck off, Frogger! No one is above me! Not even that fucking Deku!" yelled Bakugou, his glare becoming fiercer and tiny explosions coming from his palms as his anger started to rise. "So keep your fucking mouth shut or I'll shut it for you!"

"Again, not very hero-like, gero. Hopefully your anger doesn't get the best of you, since I know you don't want to fail this assignment while Midoriya-kun will pass, gero."

Bakugou could only growl in anger. There was no way he was going to let that fucking Deku get the best of him. He would pass this fucking assignment, even if he to do it with this frog bitch as his fucking teammate. If he were lucky, Deku would be his opponent. The thought put a feral grin on his face, as he wanted nothing more than to put Deku and this bitch in their place.

Seeing that grin on his face, Tsuyu had a bad feeling things were going to take a turn for the worst. She just hoped that Midoriya-kun wasn't their opponent.

-:-

As those conversations were happening the first of the fights had already finished. Ojiro and Shouji had won against Hagakure and Mineta. The four students were now sitting in the control room with Aizawa-sensei to watch the rest of the fights, although Hagakure was very upset with Ojiro at the moment.

"I can't believe you did that, Ojiro-kun!" said Hagakure. Despite being invisible, it was obvious that she was pouting.

"G-Gomen, Hagakure," replied Ojiro, a slight blush on his face.

As to why Hagakure was upset, it was simple, really. Upon learning whom their opponents were a hesitant Ojiro used Mineta's one weakness against him to earn a quick win.

"H-Hagakure! Wh-When did you b-become visible?!"

Knowing full well that Hagakure's hero costume was just a pair of gloves and boots, Mineta frantically looked around to catch a glimpse of breasts. This allowed Shouji to capture him with ease. With Hagakure, Ojiro captured her with his tail when she gave away her position by letting out a loud squeak of surprise, thinking she really did become visible and worried that Mineta would see her nude body.

Ojiro continued to apologize to Hagakure, while Mineta sulked that he didn't get to see any female nudity and Shouji merely waited for the next fight to begin. Aizawa, ignoring his students' prattle, pressed a button to let the next set of teams to start.

-:-

"Uraraka. It appears to be our turn," spoke Tokoyami as the light above the door lit up.

Ochaco jumped when Tokoyami spoke. He had been quiet this whole they were waiting and adding the fact that she was occupied by her own thoughts, the sudden sound surprised her.

"R-Right! Let's do this, Tokoyami!"

"Yeah! Let's do this!" exclaimed Dark Shadow as he made his appearance.

Tokoyami could only grimace as Dark Shadow pumped himself up, while Ochaco giggled at the sight. Once the door opened the two of them entered to find that the battlefield looked to be a replica of a city district.

"How is something like this under the school?" questioned Ochaco, looking around in awe.

"Stay focused, Uraraka. We still have no idea who or where our opponents are," replied Tokoyami.

"G-Gomen."

The bird-like boy then turned to his shadow. "Can you scout ahead to find who we are dealing with?"

"No problem," replied Dark Shadow as he flew off. It didn't take long for him to return with information. "Looks like we're up against that Todoroki kid and that chick with the ponytail."

Ochaco gave Tokoyami a worried look. "Do you think we can win?"

"…Given my weakness to light and the fact that you need to get in close to use your Quirk, our chances are low," answered Tokoyami. "But since it is highly likely that they do not know who their opponents are yet, we have the element of surprise."

"So we just need to come up with a plan!" stated the anti-gravity girl.

"Correct. I suggest we find shelter for now so we are not out in the open."

Nodding in agreement, Ochaco followed after Tokoyami to come up with a plan.

-:-

With Shouto and Momo, the two were on guard as they searched the area. As they searched, Momo had come up with various plans for whomever they would be facing.

"Todoroki, I believe I've come up with a strategy for every possible opponent we might have to face."

The half-and-half boy turned to Momo with a raised eyebrow. "Even Midoriya and Bakugou?"

"Especially those two! While they are both very strong, you did beat Midoriya during the Sports Festival and if you use your fire you can also beat Bakugou," explained the raven-haired girl.

Shouto looked at his left hand. "I might have beaten Midoriya back then, but I feel that it was a fluke. He would have won had he not convinced me to use my fire. Chances are if Midoriya is our opponent, he'll have a strategy ready to use against me."

Momo stared at Shouto with wide eyes. She knew that he and Midoriya had become friends after the Sports Festival, but she didn't expect him to think that highly of the green-haired boy. She was also surprised to see a slight smile of Shouto's face, almost as if he were hoping Midoriya was their opponent.

"…Midoriya is important to you, isn't he?"

"…He made me realize that I'm more than what my father wants me to be. That I can be the type of hero that I want to be," replied Shouto, looking Momo in the eye.

The Creation Quirk user could see the resolve in the boy's eyes. She was going to say something, but was interrupted by the onslaught of falling pebbles.

"Eh?!" exclaimed Momo as she created a shield, while Shouto made one of ice. It was a good thing too as the pebbles were soon replaced with rocks. "Wh-What's going on?!"

"Our opponents decided to reveal themselves," replied Shouto as he peeked out from behind his shield to see Tokoyami and Ochaco. Tokoyami, using Dark Shadow to fly, had Ochaco in his arms as she used her Quirk to rain pieces of earth onto them.

"Todoroki! Can you make a bigger ice wall?" questioned Momo. The boy didn't hesitate as he used his ice quirk to give them a bit more defense. No longer being pummeled by rocks, Momo put down her own shield and used her quirk to create a net gun. Taking aim, once she saw the flying duo in position she fired…only for Tokoyami to dart out of the way. "Darn it!"

"Something tells me I won't have better luck," added Shouto. "With them in the air like that, they can dodge whatever we fire at them."

"Couldn't you use your fire to weaken Dark Shadow?" asked Momo with a look of curiosity. "If Dark Shadow becomes too weak they won't be able to fly. And we won't have to worry about them getting hurt from the fall since Uraraka would use her Quirk to keep them safe."

"…"

"…Todoroki?"

"Get another net ready," stated Shouto as he ran out into the open.

"T-Todoroki!"

Tokoyami and Ochaco watched as Shouto ran from his cover.

"Stay on guard, Uraraka," stated Tokoyami. "Todoroki might try to get us into a position for Yaoyorozu to capture us."

"Right!" replied Ochaco as she kept watch for Momo. She trusted Tokoyami to focus on Shouto.

What the two weren't expecting though was the build up of heat coming from Shouto as his left side ignited. Before they could do anything, Shouto created a large pillar of flames, which made the room much brighter.

"Gyah! It burns!" cried out Dark Shadow, unable to take the light.

"Stay strong, Dark Shadow!" exclaimed Tokoyami, knowing what would happen.

Unfortunately, Dark Shadow couldn't take it anymore and had to retreat. "Gomen, Fumikage, but I can't!"

Before the two could fall, Ochaco quickly used her Quirk to keep them afloat. This was the moment Momo was waiting for as she fired off another net. Since their opponents no longer had a way to move through the air, they were sitting ducks.

"We did it!" cheered Momo in happiness as she watched the net capture her fellow classmates.

She and Shouto then reeled in a grimacing Tokoyami and pouting Ochaco as the alarm sounded off, signifying the end of the fight. The four students then made their way back to the control room.

"Aw, I thought we had you two cornered," said Ochaco with a slight whine.

"What exactly was your plan anyway?" asked Momo with a tilt of her head.

"We were hoping to keep you two on defense with the rocks and then use Tokoyami's speed to swoop and capture you while you were distracted," explained the Zero Gravity girl as she held up the capture tape.

"It was a sound plan. With you two in the air like that, you made yourselves a harder target," said Shouto.

"Not hard enough, apparently," added Tokoyami when a dejected Dark Shadow made an appearance. Upon seeing the sentient Quirk, Ochaco tried to cheer him up.

"Aw, don't worry Dark Shadow! You did your best just like the rest of us!" exclaimed the bubbly girl with a smile as she gave him a pet on the head. Tokoyami gave him a slight smile and a nod to show that he agreed with Ochaco.

Dark Shadow could only lean into the petting, happy that they weren't mad.

The four soon entered the control room to find that they were only the second group to have finished. Once they were seated, the next match began.

-:-

Bakugou had a feral grin on his face when the door opened. He then cast a glared towards Tsuyu.

"Listen up, Frogger! Do what I say and don't get in my way!" exclaimed the explosive boy. Before Tsuyu could respond, Bakugou ran out to the arena, yelling at the top of his lungs. "Get ready to die, Deku! You'll never win against me!"

Tsuyu let out a sigh before she hopped after her "teammate". 'Midoriya-kun, if you are our opponent, please be careful, gero.'

-:-

On the other side of the arena, Kaminari let out a groan while Aoyama shivered in fear.

"Why did it have to be Bakugou of all people?" questioned Kaminari after hearing the outburst. "Why couldn't it have been Midoriya or Todoroki? Yeah they're strong, but they won't purposely try to kill us!"

"W-We should probably hide before Monsieur Bakugou finds us," replied Aoyama, still shaking in fear. Personally, he didn't want to run away as that's not what heroes do, but Bakugou was a very scary individual.

"R-Right!"

The two blonds quickly made their escape before Bakugou could make his way over to their location. Once they found a place they felt safe, they let out a sigh of relief.

"How are we going to win this, Monsieur Kaminari?" questioned the French boy.

"Hell if I know. It's times like this I really wish I had Midoriya or Yaoyorozu's smarts," replied the electric boy with a sigh of frustration.

At the mention of Midoriya, Aoyama started to think. After becoming friends with Midoriya, the glittering boy had learned a lot in how to use his own quirk a bit more efficiently. He also learned a bit about the other Quirks in the class, especially Bakugou's.

"We could try trapping Monsieur Bakugou."

Kaminari had a blank look on his face as he looked at Aoyama. "And how exactly do you think we can manage that?! Bakugou isn't an idiot, he'll see it coming a mile away!"

"Not unless we get him angry enough."

Now Aoyama had Kaminari's attention as he explained his plan.

-:-

"Show yourselves, you fucking little shits!" yelled out Bakugou as he looked for his targets. "Deku! If you're here, stop being a worthless coward!"

"Midoriya's not your opponent, Bakugou!" called out a voice, gathering the explosive boy's attention.

Bakugou scowled upon seeing Kaminari. He really wanted to fight Deku and put him in his place. No matter. Anyone who got in his way would fall.

"Die!" exclaimed Bakugou as he used his Quirk to accelerate towards Kaminari. When he got close to Kaminari though, a beam of light cut between them, causing Bakugou to make an explosion to stop himself from running into it. When the light died down, Kaminari was nowhere to be seen. Letting out a growl, Bakugou glared towards where the laser came from. "Fucking sparkling bastard!"

The ashy blond exploded his way towards where Aoyama was. At least, he was until he heard Kaminari.

"I never took you as being afraid of me, Bakugou! Is that why you're running away?!"

Stopping in his tracks, Bakugou turned and looked at Kaminari with a look that promised death. It took everything in Kaminari's power not to flinch back in fear. With a roar of anger, Bakugou charged after Kaminari, only to once again be blocked off by Aoyama's laser and once again, Kaminari was gone.

"Damn it!" yelled Bakugou as he set off some explosions in anger.

With Tsuyu, she was currently camouflaged and out of Bakugou's range. Due to how calm she was, unlike Bakugou at the moment, it didn't take long for her to figure out what their opponents were doing.

'Most likely this was Aoyama-san's idea, gero. I don't think Kaminari-san is smart enough to come up with something like this.'

While Kaminari had split Bakugou's attention between him and Aoyama, thanks to his insults towards the explosive boy, Tsuyu focused solely on Aoyama. It wasn't hard finding the glittering boy. Instead of capturing him though, Tsuyu was actually curious as to how long they could keep up this tactic. Every time Aoyama would fire off his laser he would then quickly run off to a new position while Kaminari distracted Bakugou. It sounded like something Midoriya-kun would come up with.

'Definitely Aoyama-san's idea then,' thought Tsuyu as she hopped after Aoyama. 'It's clear that he looks up to Midoriya-kun and has even become less self-centered since they became friends, gero.'

She continued to watch as the two blonds gave Bakugou the runaround. It soon came to an end though when Bakugou made his way towards Aoyama and Kaminari was nowhere to be seen.

"I've had enough of this bullshit!" exclaimed Bakugou, his anger consuming him. "I'm going to kill each and every one of you fuckers!"

Aoyama shook in fear as he stared death in the face when Bakugou appeared above him. Luckily for him, Kaminari appeared just in time and latched onto Bakugou's arm. Before Bakugou could even question it or do anything about it, Kaminari unleashed thousands of volts of electricity while Aoyama and Tsuyu took cover.

Bakugou yelled out in pain as electricity flowed through his body. No matter how strong he was, not even he could withstand a force of nature like electricity. When the voltage stopped, smoke flowed off of Bakugou, who fell forward unconscious.

Aoyama stared at the fallen Bakugou with wide eyes. "W-We did it? Monsieur Kaminari! We did it!"

"Uh huh…"

The sparkling hero sweatdropped though when he found his partner in his "dumb state", the electric hero giving two thumbs up as his brain was fried after using so much electricity.

"Sacré bleu…"

"I must admit that was very impressive, gero."

At the sound of the unexpected voice, Aoyama jumped in fright and turned to see Asui standing behind him. He had honestly forgot that she was also their opponent for this assignment.

"M-Mademoiselle Asui!" exclaimed Aoyama. He wasn't sure he could win this now. He wasn't much of a fighter and his partner was out of commission.

Putting her finger near mouth, Tsuyu titled her head. "Shouldn't you capture Bakugou before he wakes up, gero?"

Blinking in confusion, Aoyama wondered if this was a trick. "A-Are you not going to stop me?"

"Not really, gero. Bakugou made it very clear that he wanted to do this on his own. Since you and Kaminari-san beat him, I believe that makes you two the winners of this match, gero," explained the frog girl.

Not looking a gift horse in the mouth, Aoyama quickly used his capture tape to wrap up Bakugou. He even used Kaminari's capture tape to insure Bakugou couldn't escape should he awaken. With Asui's help he was able to drag both Bakugou and Kaminari to the control room.

-:-

In said control room the other students were staring at the screen with wide eyes. They were honestly expecting Bakugou and Tsuyu to win, but the fact that Kaminari and Aoyama were able to outsmart Bakugou was shocking…no pun intended.

"What did we just witness?!" questioned Hagakure.

The door then opened and in walked Tsuyu and Aoyama with Bakugou and Kaminari in tow. Leaving Bakugou on the floor, Aoyama led Kaminari to a chair and sat him down.

"Asui," started Aizawa. "Why did you stay on the sidelines? And why did you not try to capture your opponents when the opportunity arose?"

Tsuyu looked up at her teacher and told the truth. "As I told Aoyama-san, Bakugou did not wish to work together like we were supposed to, gero. So I did as he "demanded" and let him do as he pleased. As to why I let Aoyama and Kaminari take the win, I figured that it was necessary for Bakugou to learn that teamwork is needed in some situations, gero. While it is very slim, this lost might teach him the lesson he desperately needs to learn, gero."

"…You do realize that you technically failed the assignment, right?"

"A small price to pay, gero."

The erasure hero could feel a headache coming on. He didn't need another problem child in this class.

"Just go sit down. We'll talk about this later."

Tsuyu then went over to sit with Ochaco and Aoyama and waited for the next match to begin.

-:-

The fight was somewhat one-sided. With no animals around, Kouda unfortunately couldn't use his Quirk and was easily captured by Iida. Kirishima had taken on Satou and his Hardening Quirk was useful against the larger boy's sugar enhanced strength. Being able to withstand Satou's attacks, Kirishima was able to outlast his opponent and land a punch that knocked the air out of him. This gave Kirishima the chance to capture Satou and acquire the win.

"Man, Satou! You can really pack a punch," said Kirishima with a sharp-toothed grin as the four made their way back. "If it weren't for my Quirk, you would have beaten me!"

"You're Quirk ain't that bad either, Kirishima" replied Satou with a smirk. He then flexed his hand. "I think I actually hurt my hand with some of those punches."

The redhead let out a chuckle before looking over at Kouda, who looked really down. "Ah, don't be upset, Kouda! It was just luck of the draw. You might win next time!"

"Kirishima-san is right," added Iida. "Although, have you ever considered taking on animal partners? By doing so you won't ever be at a disadvantage in a battle should there be no wild animals nearby."

Kouda blinked once before giving it some thought. He then nodded in determination as a way to show that the idea sound.

When they reached the control room, an odd, yet familiar sight greeted them. Bakugou was thrashing about as he was bound and gagged by Aizawa's binding cloth. It looked like he was trying to get to Kaminari and Aoyama, who were as far away from the explosive boy as possible. It was a good thing Aizawa was using his own Quirk to nullify Bakugou's.

"Whoa, Baku-bro! What the hell happened?!" asked Kirishima as he stared at the scene with wide eye.

"He's just upset that he lost to Kaminari-san and Aoyama-san, gero," stated Tsuyu, causing Bakugou to glare hatefully at her.

Kirishima turned to his shocked gaze to Tsuyu. "Wait, you guys lost?"

"Aoyama-san had a well thought out plan and Kaminari-san was able to knock out Bakugou with his electricity, gero," explained the frog girl. "It was during your match that he had finally woken up."

The redhead looked at the rest of his classmates who could only nod in confirmation. He let out a low whistle. "Damn…Nice job, Kaminari!"

Kaminari looked over to see Kirishima giving him a grin and a thumbs up. He returned it with a nervous smile and thumbs up of his own.

"Alright, that's enough," stated Aizawa still glaring at Bakugou to keep his Quirk at bay. "There's only one more match left and I would like to get it over with. With no interruptions. Do I make myself clear, Bakugou?"

A muffled growl could be heard from the ashy blond, but he stopped thrashing, which meant he was at least going to listen. When Aizawa released Bakugou, the boy stalked over to the other side of the room, away from everyone else. He cast one more glare at Tsuyu as he passed her, but was ultimately ignored by the frog girl.

Letting out an annoyed sigh, Aizawa pressed the button for the final match to begin.

-:-

Izuku and Kyouka watched as the door opened, signifying that it was their turn. Kyouka turned to Izuku with a smirk.

"You ready, nerd?"

Izuku gave off a look of determination. "Ready!"

"Then let's do this!"

The two heroes in-training ran out into the arena. Once out there, they quickly got to work on the first part of the plan they came up with.

"So who are we up against, Jirou-san?"

"It's Sero and Ashido," replied the purple-haired girl, using her Quirk to hear their voices.

The green-haired boy let out a sigh of relief. At least they weren't up against Kacchan. "So we're up against long ranged fighters."

"So how do you want to go about this?" asked Kyouka.

"…I'll handle Sero and you handle Ashido."

Kyouka raised an eyebrow at this. "Any particular reason?"

"Sero's Quirk allows him to swing through and attack from the air. With my Full Cowl I can keep up with him and make sure he can't get away. Plus, I can break free from his tape should Sero catch me off guard. Ashido on the other hand can only fight on the ground and while she can slide on her acid as a way of quick travel, sound is still faster," explained Izuku as he looked at Kyouka.

"…I almost feel sorry for Sero and Ashido."

"Huh? How come?" asked Izuku, looking very confused.

"Because that big brain of yours can come up with a plan to beat anyone. It's almost scary really. I'm actually kind of glad that you're my partner for this assignment since I wouldn't want to go up against you myself," replied Kyouka, using one of her earphone jacks to poke Izuku's forehead. The boy blushed brightly at her action. Upon realizing what she just did, Kyouka blushed as well before she turned away from the boy. "A-Anyway, we should probably hunt down our opponents before they find us."

"R-Right!"

The two took off, trying not to think about the last few seconds.

-:-

Meanwhile, the rest of Class 1-A was watching the screen with rapt attention.

"Damn, Midoriya's got game," stated Kaminari with a low whistle.

"How can someone like him be so lucky?!" demanded Mineta, only to be knocked over by Tsuyu's tongue.

"That's enough out of you, gero," said the frog girl, focused solely on the screen with narrowed eyes.

The others glanced at each other. It wasn't often that Tsuyu showed emotions, but it was clear that she was annoyed. More so then usual when Mineta makes stupid comments.

Momo decided to be the one to ask. "Tsu, is everything alright?"

"I'm fine, gero."

The rich girl wasn't convinced. She turned to Ochaco to see if she could talk to Tsuyu, considering the Zero Gravity girl was closer to her, but was surprised that Ochaco was just as focused on the screen…although her face was completely blank. Almost as if her entire brain just shut down.

'There's another one now?! Why does Deku have to be so cute and attract all these girls?!' thought Ochaco, not wanting another rival for Izuku's affection.

Seeing that she was not going to get through to either Tsuyu or Ochaco at this point, Momo figured she'd have to wait until they were all back at the dorms. At least that way she'd have Kyouka and Mina to help her.

-:-

"So why exactly are we just sneaking around, Ashido?"

"Because we don't know who we're up against, Sero! We need to be sneaky so we don't get found out! Ooh, maybe we'll get lucky and be up against Tooru and Mineta!"

Sero knew they weren't going to be that lucky. And he was right when the telltale sound of crackling electricity came closer.

'Please be Kaminari…'

The Tape Quirk user's pray went unanswered as Izuku appeared above them, his body charged with energy.

"Crap!" exclaimed both Sero and Mina as they made a break for it. Sero took to the air thanks to his tape and Mina used her acid to skate away. In their panic though, they didn't realize that they went into different directions.

'Good luck, Jirou-san,' thought Izuku as he took off after Sero.

-:-

Mina kept on skating, wanting and hoping to get as far away from Midoriya as possible. Taking a quick look back, she let out a sigh of relief when she saw that the green-haired boy was nowhere to be found.

"I lost him…but it looks like I lost Sero as well," said Mina, pouting when she couldn't find her teammate.

Too preoccupied with her problem, she completely forgot that Midoriya had a teammate of his own. Hearing it, but unable to stop in time, Mina was blown back by the sound wave that came crashing into her.

"You really need to start paying more attention, Mina," stated Kyouka, holding out one of her amplifiers.

The pink girl struggled to stand as Kyouka's attack had left her disoriented. Shaking her head to clear it, she turned to the rocker girl with another pout.

"Kyouka! Do you really have to be so rough?!"

Kyouka couldn't help but sweatdrop. "Really, Mina? We're supposed to be acting as if we're enemies. Would you go easy on an actual villain?"

"Well, no, but…"

"Then we can't go easy on each other for this assignment," replied Kyouka with a sigh. "Besides, just be glad you're not up against Bakugou. You know it would be much worse."

Mina couldn't help but shudder at that. The point of the assignment is to capture, not send your opponent to the hospital. "Fine! No holding back then!"

Rolling her eyes, Kyouka waited for Mina to make the first move. She didn't have to wait very long as Mina started acid skating and tried to come in from her blind spot after building up some speed. Of course there was no such thing as a blind spot when you have enhanced hearing. Aiming her amplifier, Kyouka fired off another sound wave slightly ahead of where Mina would be, once again knocking Mina off her feet.

'Midoriya doesn't get enough praise for his genius,' thought Kyouka with a smirk, happy that Midoriya's analysis was right on the money.

"Oh come on!" exclaimed Mina trying to stand once again.

"What do you expect, Mina? You tried to sneak up on someone who can literally hear you coming from a mile away," explained Kyouka.

Pouting once more, Mina tried to think up a plan to help her beat Kyouka. Unfortunately nothing was coming to mind. She needed to find and regroup with Sero if they wanted to win. Not wasting any time, the pink girl started to acid skate away, much to Kyouka's surprise.

"See ya later, Kyouka!"

"H-Hey! Don't run away like that! Get back here, damn it!" cried out Kyouka as she ran after her opponent.

-:-

With Izuku and Sero, the two were flying through the air with the latter trying his damnedest to avoid the former. Sero even kept shooting strips of tape at Izuku, but the green-haired boy easily dodged them.

"Heh, not bad, Midoriya!" called out Sero, grinning underneath his mask.

"You're not bad yourself, Sero-san!" replied Izuku, referring to how Sero was able to stay out of his reaching by using his tape for quick getaways. 'But I need to end this soon! But how?'

Looking at his surroundings, Izuku looked at the tape Sero kept swinging from. It was then that Izuku thought that instead of aiming for Sero, aim for the tape. Positing his hand, Izuku stored up energy in his middle finger and with a single flick he sent an air bullet towards the tape. Not seeing this coming, Sero didn't retract his tape and it was shredded to pieces.

"Shit!" exclaimed Sero as he started to fall. He was about to produce another strip of tape, but Izuku used this time to capture Sero.

"Got you!" exclaimed the inheritor of One for All as he wrapped his capture tape around Sero.

"Aw man," groaned out Sero as the two landed.

Just as Izuku landed, Kyouka made her appearance dragging a pouting and bound Mina with her.

"She gave me some trouble when she decided to run, but I got her in the end," stated Kyouka with a smirk.

Izuku returned the smirk with a smile of his own. He was about to say something to his partner when he stopped after he saw his own breath.

'Wait, what?' thought the boy.

"A-Anyone else feel it g-getting c-cold all of a s-sudden?" asked Mina, shivering.

"Y-Yeah, wh-what's the deal?" questioned Sero.

It was then a pillar of ice appeared before the four students. They watched with wide eyes as the pillar shattered and where it stood, stood a man that Izuku had recently become familiar with as the man gave off a sharp tooth grin.

"Miss me, little hero?"

CHAPTER END

-:-

Looks like Izuku's not done fighting just yet, but how did the villain get onto school grounds? You'll just have to stay tuned.

As for the actual fights in this chapter, I hope I depicted them in a way that felt realistic or reasonable. Despite how the manga likes to portray him, Bakugou is NOT invincible. He can be defeated, especially if you take advantage of his ego and anger.
