*Midoriya's P.O.V*
Our 5 day break is over, now it's time to go back to training for the Provisional License Exams. We all headed over to U.A, after getting greeted by Mr. Aizawa, we were told about the upcoming Provisional License Exams, to get our Provisional Licenses. After a quick spiel about how the hero license is a great responsibility of human life or something along those lines, we were told to come up with at least two Ultimate Moves.
Once the words 'Ultimate Moves' were dropped, Cementoss, Midnight, and Ectoplasm entered the room.
"Ultimate! This means that this move will give you a sure win!" Ectoplasm said.
"A move so ingrained into your body that others cannot copy it. Battle means seeing how much you can force what you're good at on your opponent." Cementoss added.
"Your moves will represent you. These days, pro heroes without ultimate moves are an endangered species." Midnight stated.
"We will tell you more as we go along. We want to proceed logically." Mr. Aizawa stated, "Change into your hero costumes and meet me in Gym Gamma."
Once we changed into our costumes, we headed to Gym Gamma.
"Gym Gamma, also known as the 'Training Dining Land,' or TDL." Mr. Aizawa explained, ignoring the potential lawsuits that name may bring.
"I came up with the idea for these facilities." Cementoss said as he made a small model in front of him, "Terrain and other things can be prepared specifically for each student. That's what the 'dining' part refers to."
"I see..." Chargedolt muttered, then Iida's hand shot up.
"Please allow me to ask a question!" He yelled in his typical Iida-ness, "Why must we have ultimate moves for our provisional licensing exam? Please tell me your reasoning!"
"I'll tell you everything in order. Calm down..." Mr. Aizawa said, "The job of a hero is to save people from danger, like crimes, accidents, natural disasters, and man made disasters. The exam to become one naturally looks at how well you are able to do that." He explained, "Your ability to gather information, make decisions, move, and fight, in addition to your ability to communicate, draw people to you, and lead- Every year, a different test is used to look at how well you are able to do those things." Mr Aizawa said.
Then Midnight stepped up, "Of those, your ability to fight is especially important to your futures as heroes." Midnight said, "If you are prepared, you won't have to worry. Whether or not you have an ultimate move will greatly affect whether or not you pass."
"Not being influenced by circumstances are being able to act consistantly will make you a great asset on the front lines." Cementoss explained, before returning to the grounds.
"Your ultimate moves do not necessarily need to be of the attacking type." Ectoplasm said before turning to Iida, "For example, Iida's Reciproburst- The temporary burst of speed is enough of a threat to be worth calling an ultimate move." Ectoplasm said as Iida looked proud.
"So that's good enough to be called an ultimate move?" He said.
"I see... So we need to find something that allows us to feel like 'As long as I do this, I have the advantage. I can win'." Sato said.
"On the other hand." He said as he turned towards me, "Midoriya's Soaring Tempest, is also a prime example of an ultimate move in terms of only he can execute it." He explained, "Utilizing his two Quirks in such a fashion is more than enough to be considered an ultimate move."
"Heh... you aint seen nothing yet." I muttered.
"The training camp was cancelled, but the training you did to develop your Quirks was part of the process to create your ultimate moves. In other words..." Mr. Aizawa said before Cementoss created massive pillars and Ectoplasm made clones, one for each of us. "... until the beginning of the next semester, for the ten days or so until the end of summer vacation, you'll be working out your ultimate moves as you develop your Quirks. You'll be doing intensive training! In addition, you should think about how you can improve your costumes." Mr. Aizawa said before looking at me, "While some of you have been improving your costume over time, most of you haven't. Improving your costumes will allow you to use your Quirks more effectively." He said before sporting a serious face, "Get through this with a 'Plus Ultra' mentality. Are you ready?"
"Yes sir!" Everyone yelled.
Then the room was filled with explosions... and tape. However... I had something to ask Ectoplasm.
"Hey, Mr. Ectoplasm."
"Yes?"
"Can we... train outside?" I asked.
"Whatever for?" He asked.
"Well... my other ultimate move... is rather hazardous, if I miss you, then I might fly into someone else and...
"Hmm... well what is your other ultimate move?" He asked.
"I just came up with it a few days ago." I said as I quickly demonstrated, by adding fire to my right leg, "It's called 'Diable Jambe', I add heat to my legs, causing my kick to add more damage." I said, "If I combine this with my other ultimate move, Soaring Temepest..."
"You cam create a Plus Ultra move." He finished.
"Exactly." I said, "But I only practiced against stationary dummies, and haven't dealt with a moving target." I said.
"I see... well then that's entirely fine, shall we head out."
"Yes sir." I said, as we headed towards the door.
"Hold on a second Midoriya." Mr. Aizawa said before walking up to us, "Your move, might I recommend you spin as you activate it?"
"I see you watch One Piece as well." I said, "But I see where you're going with that, it'll confuse the enemy while I do it." I said, before turning around towards the door, "Thanks for the advice, Mr. Aizawa." I said as I headed out.
We practiced my Diable Jambe for a while, I've gone through a few clones, before I realized heating up my leg takes a long while, and how well will spinning in the middle of battle go? Sure it MIGHT distract the enemy, but it'll leave me open guaranteed, wait... what if I?
"Hold on, Mr. Ectoplasm." I said as he stopped, "I have a crazy idea... that just might work." I said.
"Well by all means, try it." He said standing still.
Alright, pull up your bandana, aim your arms down and at your leg, spin around rapidly, then use your flight. I flew up into the air, all the while spinning creting a fire cyclone underneath me, all the while heating up my right leg with my arms aimed at my right leg.
The fire cyclone disappated, leaving me flying in the air with a glowing whiteish yellow leg.
"I see..." Ectoplasm muttered, "The heat from the cyclone added to your heating your leg with your arms... thus speeding up the heating process."
"Correct." I said, though it was completely unintentional, "Alright!" I said as I aimed my arms back, flying towards him, "Diable Jambe..." I muttered before I used Full Cowling, "Soaring Tempest!" I yelled as I landed 5 heated up kicks, causing the clone to dissolve. "Oh... shoot." I said before rushing inside, "Mr. Ai-"
"It's our turn now." Mr King said, as the rest of Class 1-B came into TDL.
"You're sceduled for 3:30." Mr. Aizawa muttered pointing towards the clock, "It's 3:00."
I knew better not to step into a teacher's querrel... then I saw something purple.
"Oh hey. It's you." I said as Mineta looked at me... he looks pissed, "Man, I wondered where you went."
"Are you here to make fun of me?" He asked.
"Once again, no, but if the opportunity arrises... then I will take it." I said with a smirk.
"Man... how did I get here?" He asked.
"Hmm... I dunno, maybe you are wasting your potential by chasing after women instead of training." I said as I looked at the rest of the class... at least the sack of s**t Monoma isn't here as far as I could tell.
"Shut up!" He exclaimed.
"Oh what?!" I asked yelling as loud as him, "What will you do about it? Will you prove me wrong with words?" I asked, "Or will you prove me wrong with action."
"...What are you talking about?" He asked.
"Mr. Aizawa, permission to have a battle?" I asked.
"Hmm... what do you have in mind?" He asked.
"One on one, if he wins, then he can replace one of us, if one of us wins, then he gets nothing." I explained.
"... I'll allow it." He said.
"Great, I'll ta-"
"Hold on there Mineta." Mr. Aizawa said, "I'll allow it... only if you fight Midoriya."
"What?!" He yelled.
"Thank goodness you caught on." I said with a smirk, "If you're going to get in... then you'll face me."
"However, I will change the terms." Mr. Aizawa said, "Mineta wins, then he will take your place, he loses, then he stays in Class 1-B."
...
...
"Heh... I like how you think Mr. Aizawa, I'm in." I said as I pulled up my bandana, blowing fire out of my open palms, "Prove to me that you deserve to be here."
Mineta was shaky... but agreed to the terms. All of us, Class 1-A and Class 1-B alike, exited the building and headed outside. Mineta and I stood a few meters across from each other, while everyone else stood clear out of the way.
"Why are we doing this?" Ashido asked, "Midoriya is obviously gonna win."
"As much as I hate to say it, Mineta doesn't stand a chance." Tetsutetsu said.
"Alright, Midoriya ready?" Mr. Aizawa asked as I nodded, "Mineta are you ready?" He asked as Mineta shakily nodded. "Alright go."
Mineta wasted no time in sending a barrage of balls at me, they were sporradic and all over the place. I dodged then and took to the skies, as a wave of balls were flying behind me.
"Learn to lead your shots dips**t!" I yelled as I dived back down and landed in front of him, I gripped his arms and launched him away.
"Mineta get up!" Tetsutetsu yelled.
He was slow to get up, but did... only to see me spinning in place.
"What is he... Mineta this is your chance!" Tetsutetsu yelled.
"R-Right!" He yelled as I saw him took a ball from his scalp, before it could hit, I jumped out of the way and used my fire to fly away and create a fire cyclone.
"What the f**k?!" Bakugou yelled as I saw everyone enamored by the spectacle that was my fire cyclone. Once the fire cyclone disappeared it left me and my white hot leg.
"My newest technique... Diable Jambe." I said as I looked at Todoroki, "I wanted to use this against Todoroki... but now is as good as any." I said as I flew towards him while activating One for All, "Dodge this if you can Mineta!" I yelled.
Everyone was speechless, and Mineta was shaking in his boots. Instead of dodge or even throw his balls at me, he just stood there and brought his arms up. He flinched...
"HAA!" I yelled as I brought my leg up... and slammed it into the ground in fornt of Mineta.
"H-Huh?" He muttered.
"You flinched." I said.
"W-What?" He asked.
"You flinched..." I said, "You got so shaky in fear that you didn't do anything else. That's where you need the most improvement." I said as my leg cooled down, "Fear is the worst thing you can let show in a fight. That shows the enemy that they're stronger than you." I said as I tapped his forehead, "So you have five areas of improvement... no five, can you name them?"
"W-What?"
"Five areas of improvement... name them, unless you want to take a Diable Jambe to the face for real this time."
"N-No!" He yelled, "U-Uh... my fear, my aim..."
"Okay 3 more."
"M-My pervy-ness, my... I can't think of anything else."
"Well... you passed with a D." I said, "You also need to improve your strategy, as well as your methods of attack." I explained, "Pop off two balls." I said. To avoid any unnecessary injury, he did as told. "Now... can you attach them together?" I asked.
"Y-Yeah?" He said unsure of himself, he placed the two balls together, "There."
"Great, now that solves your methods of attack department." I said, "Attacking at a range is a fine strategy, especially against someone specializing in flight, however in close combat, you're as good as dead." I said as I pointed to the string of balls, "With that, you can attack close range, mid-range, and even long range." I said, "You just gotta get creative, and not stick with one move."
"O-Okay... but what about the others?" He asked.
"The f**k if I know!" I yelled, "You gotta figure that out for yourself, what the hell will you learn if I told you all the damned answers?!" I yelled as he flinched, "Look, brush up your everything... if you feel confident, then you can challenge me for my spot again." I said standing back up, "Just don't expect me to just sit around waiting for you to fight me... so train your ass off and beyond." I said before heading back to my classmates, "What?" I asked.
"Why did you help that grape f**k?" Bakugou asked.
"Yeah? Don't you want to stay here?" Ashido asked.
"Sure, but if he beats me for my spot... then he definitely deserves it more than I do." I said, "Besides... I've been itching to show off my Diable Jambe/Soaring Tempest Combo." I said with a smirk, "Nothing better than combining your Ultimate Moves to create a 'Plus Ultra' move."
I also believe he can be as good of a hero as any of us... he just need the right push. It was 3:30, meaning it was time for Class 1-B to have the TDL. I walked behind the pack, as everyone else was ahead of me.
"Hey..." Mr. Aizawa said.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Good job." He said.
"For?"
"You know why." He said simply, "You didn't have to help, you didn't even had to challenge him. But you did anyway, and I'm sure he'll take your lessons to heart."
"Whatever... if he does or doesn't is not my concern." I said before stopping, "I wouldn't have done that, if he had 0 potential. He has potential, he's intellegent, and has pretty good techniqe... he's just squandering it like a moron, following his d**k instead of his mind. It pisses me off." I said, "But, I'm sure being forced into Class 1-B, and almost getting killed by me... will be a wake up call for him." I said walking ahead, "If not... then I won't hesitate next time."
He followed me, but was still processing what I said, before chuckling, "Well I will say this... you definitely made my life as a teacher easier."
"I don't know what that says about you, or about me."
"Don't think too much into it." He said, "Just focus on your moves, the fire cyclone was a good touch."
I nodded. As I was walking back to the dorms... Man this school is really getting to me. I'm instinctively sticking my nose into other people's s**t. Haah... well at least I'm helping Mineta, like I said he's smart, all he needs to do is improve himself... and who knows, maybe he'll take my place.
Only time will tell.
