Hey everyone! Wow. My 10th chapter… This is actually awesome since I actually got committed to something. It's all thanks to you guys and I look forward to working with you guys even more! Now then… without further ado… Enjoy!
"Team Kamiya and Kiri! Versus! Team Kido and Tokuhei! The final battle for our class today! Begin!", Toshinori announced.
Tsubaki and Shiroi were on the defensive team while Nozomi and Nagai were on the offensive team.
Nozomi and Nagai entered the building. They were quiet as they walked up the stairs. Nagai wanted to talk to Nozomi since it was a chance to talk to a beauty but he had to focus on the combat exercise first.
"Hey Tokuhei… How should we do this?", Nozomi asked.
"Hmmm… I believe that we should find a common ground with our Quirks. Tell me, what is your Quirk?", he asked.
Nozomi touched the wall and her skin and clothes were coated with a concrete armor. Nozomi Kido, Quirk: Matter Absorption. She can absorb solid materials and coat herself with it. The toughness and properties of the material remains and she can still move in flexible manners.
"How about you?", Nozomi asked.
"I cans swim in the air. Actually, air is like water for me. I can swim in it and I can even compress it and splash it to people", Nagai answered.
"I see. It's best if you leave the front to me while you fight in the air"
"No! Having a woman fight in the front while I cower above is shameful!"
"But we won't win if we follow your plan. Besides, I'm not some weak girl"
Nagai was full of complaints but he had no choice but to agree. After all, Nozomi was right. They were against enemies with unknown Quirks so they have to be as efficient as possible.
They arrived at the room where the bomb was and they saw a brown-haired girl and a white-haired boy. Nagai compressed the air and threw it at the boy but white mist appeared from the boy's hand. The air disappeared when it touched the white mist. Another mist appeared from his other hand and compressed air went out from it and hit Nagai.
"What the? That was my attack!", Nagai exclaimed.
Shiroi Kiri, Quirk: Mist Storage. He can summon a white mist that stores anything. Also, he can summon the things he stored from the same mist he summoned.
Nozomi was about to run towards the bomb but then she noticed something fast was running towards her. She received a punch, kick, another punch, and a judo throw at insane speeds. The purple=haired girl saw that her attacker was the brown-haired girl.
"What was that? Some sort of speed-enhancing Quirk?", she asked.
"Wrong", Tsubaki answered.
She took a deep breath and ran swiftly. Tsubaki Kamiya, Quirk: Time Trap. Tsubaki can change her own perception of time and make 1 second for others to 3 seconds for her. However, it only lasts for as long as she can hold her breath. Her Quirk is often confused with a speed-type Quirk.
Nozomi absorbed the ground and concrete coated her. When Tsubaki punched her, it felt like she was punching a concrete wall. Her fist felt pain and she backed away.
Meanwhile, Nagai was floating in the air and was splashing compressed air at Shiroi but Shiroi merely stored them all in his mist. The white-haired boy returned all of the compressed air to the floating boy.
It was a stalemate. Nozomi couldn't land a blow on Tsubaki but Tsubaki couldn't deal any damage to her. If Nozomi would try to charge towards the bomb, Tsubaki would just overtake her and judo throw her away. Nagai would float in the air and throw compressed air at Shiroi but Shiroi would just return his attacks.
"You guys are persistent aren't ya?", Nozomi asked as she threw a punch.
Tsubaki couldn't answer since she was holding her breath. She was looking for possible weaknesses her enemy could have but Nozomi's defenses were solid. It was like punching a solid wall.
Not good. At this rate, our time will run out and we will lose!, Nagai thought.
He swam towards the bomb and since Shiroi couldn't fly, he just hopelessly chased after him. Tsubaki noticed this and ran towards the bomb as well. Her perception of time was changed and so, she was fast. She jumped and grabbed Nagai's leg. He fell to the ground and Tsubaki pinned him to the ground.
Nozomi ran towards the bomb while Tsubaki was busy with Nagai. Shiroi got in her way but she just punched him in the stomach. That was one limitation with Shiroi's Quirk. He couldn't store living creatures without harming them. Every living being he stored died because of suffocation in his storage area. That was why Tsubaki's team lost when Nozomi touched the bomb.
"Team Kido and Tokuhei wins!". Toshinori announced.
"… We lost", Shiroi said.
Tsubaki let out a sigh and let go of Nagai.
"Good job Nozomi!", Nagai praised.
"Hehehehe. There's more where that came from!", Nozomi replied.
"…Sorry…", Shiroi apologized to Tsubaki.
"It couldn't be helped", Tsubaki said and helped Shiroi up.
The two teams returned to the observation room and Toshinori greeted them.
"Good job. You did well. Young Kamiya was amazing at holding Young Kido back. Young Kido was also amazing at defending herself and being able to make good decisions under pressure. As for Young Tokuhei, you should've switched to other methods of attacking when you found out that splashing air at Young Kiri was useless. Young Kiri, learn when to return the attacks you stored with your Quirk. Now that concludes our battle training! You children will go to the classroom and reflect on what you learned. Also, you'll be provided with the videos of your battle to help you see what your mistakes were", Toshinori said.
"Now then… Say it with me! Go beyond!", he shouted.
"Plus Ultra", almost everyone shouted with him.
Toshinori then became a muscular man. Everyone was surprised and happy to see the Symbol of Peace again. He smiled and gave them a thumbs-up. It took only one second before he coughed up blood and returned to his skinny form.
"Sensei! Are you okay?", Jacob asked.
"Don't worry. Just wanted to pump you kids up a bit. Now return to your classrooms", he answered and walked out of the room.

"Finally! That was barely entertaining. We should've trained than watch a bunch of weak children", Katsuki said.
"Now now, Katsuki. You were once a child too", Eijiro teased.
"And you had an intense fight with Izuku too! You almost killed him!", Denki added.
Everyone laughed light-heartedly while Katsuki was screaming at them to shut up. Despite the bonds they formed, Katsuki still wouldn't admit that he liked being with his classmates and that he enjoyed moments of peace like this one. But he definitely enjoyed beating up villains.
"If you think that this was just for fun then you are wrong. UA doesn't waste time since villains are rising. UA doesn't give its students useless activities when it can train them to become heroes", Aizawa told them in a cold manner which made everyone freeze up. Whatever he was planning, it was definitely stressing.
"For the next two weeks, you will supervise and train the students you saw in their free time", Aizawa announced.
"Eh?"
"You mean like we're going to be like heroes and they'll be our sidekicks?", Mina asked.
"This is exciting! I already feel like an upperclassman!", Tooru shouted.
"Cute girl! Let my sidekick be a cute girl!", Minoru screamed.
"Shut up", Aizawa's cold voice echoed through the room and silence everyone.
"You do know the risk UA is taking right? Instead of having pro teachers teach them, UA is relying on you to mold them into heroes. Fun? Very well. You'll be taking track of their growth, both in academics and heroics. And for the one who had the least growth of his or her sidekick, he or she will be part of supplementary lessons along with his or her sidekick", Aizawa said.
Everyone screamed internally except for a few individuals.
"When will we know our sidekicks?", Tenya asked as he stood up and raised his hand.
"Tomorrow. Video copies of their battles will be sent to you later. You better think of strategies already. You don't want an underclassman suffering because of your incompetence wouldn't you?", Aizawa answered and left the room.
"What should I do? How can I train my sidekick?", Minoru asked while panicking.
"This is b*llsh*t! If UA is forcing me to have a sidekick, then he'd better be strong! If he isn't, I'll make him to be the strongest underclassman!", Katsuki declared.
Everyone began to worry for Katsuki's sidekick.
Hey everyone. Two "Hey everyone"s in one chapter sounds weird but I'm doing it anyway. Like what I said earlier, this is the 10th chapter. Huzzah! Now that the battle training was finished and the introduction for Class 1-A is out of the way, the story can move on. Don't forget to review! And… stay tuned!
