AND HERE'S CHAPTER 17 OF Death and Beyond.
Sorry for the late update, I suddenly got a freaking headache and it's very annoying. So that's why this chapter seems to be a bit rush to some of you and sorry about that, but I do have a plan for the camp arc.
So anyway enjoy!
Time has passed, and before anyone knew it, it was nearing the end of June, meaning the end of term test was finally nearing. And of course we find ourselves in the midst of chatter of a certain class. This of course was Class 1-A.
"I HAVEN'T STUDIED AT ALL!"
Yes, inside the classroom was more or less chaos, some were just relaxing, while some were panicking about the test, one of these was Kaminari, who was ranked 22 in academics. Everybody has their own conversations with one another but a small circle of friends was in the middle.
"Kaminra, Ashi-chan let's do our best!" Izuku said accompanied by a comment from Iida and Todoroki.
"Yeah, let's do our best, I want to go with all of you in the lodge." Tomomi said hand on his chin, Rank : 2, he looked at Shiro, "How about you Shiro, want to go with everybody at the lodge?" Said boy looked at him and smiled, even though they were rivals, they were still good friends at each other.
"Y-yeah, of course." Rank: 3.
The bell rang signalling the start of lunch and every student went to the cafeteria. We now see Izuku, Iida, Ochaco, Shiro, Tomomi, Tsuyu and Krishima at the same table enjoying their lunch.
"Man, I'm nervous about the pratical." Ochaco said staring at her lunch box. Rank: 13
"Agreed, we don't know what we will be facing at that part of the exam, so it's reasonable to be nervous." Iida said while adjusting his glasses.
"Yeah, the written part I have no problem, but the practical. I w-wonder." Shiro said sharing his thought at the matter.
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there, for now all we can do is prepare." Tomomi said taking a bite of his lunch. He looked at Tsuyu, seeing that she has not touched her food and doing her thinking pose, "Hey, Tsu. Penny for your thoughts?" She looked at him.
"Nothing ribbit, Sensei did say that it will involve the things we encountered and learned throughout the term so….just thinking what is it exactly." She said now beginning to take a bite of her food.
"Yeah so that means that, we have to study and prepare for-OW!" Izuku was interrupted when something hit his head, everybody looked at Izuku then to the one that hit him, Tomomi seeing this can't help but frown.
"Oh sorry about that, your head is so big, I couldn't help but bump you on the head." Yep, Monoma was there carrying his tray, "You lot, has basked in the spotlight with the Hero Killer right? Seeing that, your fame has increased it's scary that maybe some time will come and we will be dragged in to your-GAH!" He was interrupted by a chop on neck, looking at origin of the hand it Kenodu.
"It's not like that Monoma." She looked at the class 1-A "Sorry about that, I heard that you're worrying about the practical. I heard that it will be just like the entrance exam."
"WHA-How do you know that?!" Izuku questioned.
"Oh, I asked a student from the second year."
Tomomi raised an eyebrow. 'Ok, that was easy.'
Kendou then looked at Tomomi "Hey Tatsuma, good luck at the Test." She then proceeded to drag Monoma with her.
They continue to eat, well Tomomi felt that someone was looking at him and he turned his head and saw Tsuyu. "Uhh, yes Tsu?" she continue to stare at me
"You two seem close."
"Wha-who-Kendou?" 'Is that what this is about?'
"No, Monoma." 'Oh come on, seriously that remark?'
"Me and Kendou are just friends, Tsu trust me." She stared at me for like a full minute then just nodded.
"Yeah, sorry." Tomomi just nodded and continue to eat his lunch.
Class was finally over and everyone was relieved to hear that they going to be battling robots for the practical part of the exam.
"Oh man, I can actually be loose!"
"Yeah!"
Everyone was just celebrating, while some just continued on their chat and some were packing up, but one person was actually by the door.
"Who cares if it's robots!" yelled Bakugou who was by the door, bag on his shoulder while looking at everyone. "Everyone here is strong enough to adapt!" he then looked to one person. "Ain't that right Deku?"
"Over the past term, you have gotten stronger, and I expect you to get even stronger as the time passed by." He jabbed a finger to Izuku's chest. "I don't want shit-ass low class, person to be my rival understand?!" He finished, turning around he walked away.
Izuku just stared at the doorway in deep thought. "Kaachan…You got it." He balled his fist with determined eyes.
Tomomi just smiled 'Got yourself a rival huh? Well I'm interested to see you how this develops.'
Shiro looked at looked at Tomomi and with determined eyes 'That's right. Someday I'll show you what I'm made of.'
Time has passed and each student were preparing for the exam, both the written and the practical. All of them were studying for the exam, some were helping each other while others are on their own. Time came and the written exam came and the students were doing their best on it. When it was finished they celebrated and thanked the people that helped them.
Then the Practical finally came and they were told to change into their hero costumes.
Male Changing Room
"Oh man, finally the practical I'm excited for this!" Sero yelled pumping his fist.
"Indeed, this will choose our fate." Tokoyami agreed with his words.
"I will dazzling in my results after this." Aoyama said with sparkles? Around him? Seriously is this guy a walking glitter?
"YEAH! THE LODGE HERE WE COME!" Mineta yelled with his almost popping out.
"Mineta, if you're thinking of something perveted-"
"Which he is dumbass." Bakugou interjected.
"I will put you to the ground." Tomomi finished finishing the straps on his jeans.
"That's easy for you to say! You four have a girl already! So don't tell us to not thinks this!" Mineta pointing at Tomomi, I zuku, Bakugou and Shiro, the three people have question marks on their heads while Tomomi just raised his eyebrow.
"Four? For all I know only Tsuyu and I are the only couple in our class, who are the other three?" Tomomi asked and the three agreed.
"Seriously guys? You know, you three." Said Sato while pointing at Izuku, Bakugou and Shiro.
"Wh-what? W-e don't know w-what you're t-talking about." Izuku stated nervously.
"Y-y-yeah."
"Spit it out Shit heads!" Bakugou said then looking at Krishima "Shitty-hair! What are they talking about!?"
"W-well, you know, You and Ochaco, then Izuku and Mina, then there's also Shiro and Jiro-san. You know you guys…." He said while backing away from his explosive friend. And with this the two social-awkward people just blushed resembling a tomato.
"WHAT!"
"Yeah, I mean you guys are always together sooo….we assumed that you were together you know." Sato said, the others agreeing with this. Bakugou was about to blow them all up. Until a voice was heard outside the door.
"You have ten minutes left to change or we will be leaving you behind." Aizawa sensei informed them, the students hurriedly put their costumes on, their talk temporarily forgotten.
Tomomi P.O.V.
We were now standing outside of the arena where the battles will take place. They explained what we were going to do, some deflated when they heard that they will be changing the contents of the exam, meaning battling bots is a no go.
'So, if they're not going to make us battle robots then.' I looked at the teachers surrounding us. 'We will battling them.'
"The battle will be a one-on-one between 2 students versus a staff member of U.A." Announced Principal Nezu.
Everyone was worried, and who wouldn't? They will be battling Pros. The first team Momo and Todoroki versus Aizawa-sensei. The next pair was.
"Midoriya and Bakugou." 'The wonder duo, just great. And they will be fighting who exactly?'
"VERSUS ME!" Yelled All-Might. 'Welp….shit.'
The teams were being decided until it came only him and Shiro. We share a look already knowing that we will on team.
"And now Nai and Tatsuma versus Vlad King."
'Isn't he the Class B homeroom teacher?'
"Yes, you two I will be the one you will fight." He smiled "Prepare yourself."
We were on the bus going to our own arena, each of us have our own arena to fight in. The goal of the exercise is to either escape or capture the enemy. Seems simple enough. I headed towards Shiro's seat.
"You got a plan?" I asked and he looked at me.
"Kinda, my plan was to head towards the exit and try to avoid Vlad as best as we can."
"Yeah, that's the same as mine." I began to ponder, there's a possibility to capture Vlad, but if I remember correctly Shiro's Shadow Tendrils only work if the target is not moving.
"We can pretty much think of plan on the fly. When we're there." I nodded and just waited in the bus. We were finally there and we saw that our arena was..
"A Carnival?" Yes in front of us was a carnival of sort.
"How does U.A. pay for all of this again?" Shiro asked no one in particular, but I can't help but agree with him.
The bus left with Vlad in it. He will go to his spot and wait for the go signal to start.
"Ok, I can pretty much use my Earth Sonar later to know where the exit is. Or you can scout ahead to know where the exit is your call."
He seemed to think about this, both are good options but both of them have their own consequences. "We can't afford to split up, we should just walk and use you Earth sonar from time to time to not waste energy."
I nodded and then the go signal blared and we went inside. Using my earth sonar, I was able to find my surroundings, but still no sign of the exit. We continued our way and it took 3 minutes of this and I was able to find the exit, but what got us on edge was Vlad was nowhere to be found.
"Where do you think he is?"
"I don't know, just keep you guard u-." My instinct screamed at me to dodge and I did barely missing a spear of…
"Blood?" Shiro said, once we turned around we saw Vlad charging at us. We were now on our fighting stance.
Shiro P.O.V.
Tomomi sent a gust of water at Vlad, while I charged at him with my shadow staff, he dodged the water and headed towards me, but a ramp was suddenly made and helped me get airborne once in the air, I swing my staff downwards, but he dodge it he swing his fist at me but sending a tendril at the arm I stopped him and threw him in the air, in which Tomomi was already there with his Chidori at the ready.
Vlad had no choice but to guard, this of course resulted him launching towards a tent. Giving us some time to catch a breath.
"Come on." Tomomi urged while I just nodded. Running towards the exit, but was stopped when some blood wrapped around mine and Tomomi's leg, seeing this he coated himself in lightning catching his both of his fist.
Tomomi P.O.V.
He was fast and strong, 'I guess that's a Pro huh?'
"You two are good with your teamwork. Both good at using your Quirks, you really did your homework." Vlad said still trying to get his fists free. I only smirked at this.
"Yeah….but I guess you didn't do yours." He raised his eyebrow, but widen his eyes when he felt something wrapping around his body.
'Shiro's Tendrils doesn't work if the target is moving….so we just have to make him stop for a moment.'
Third Person P.O.V.
Vlad was now covered in Shiro's Shadow Tendrils making him unable to move.
*Click*
A handcuff was now on Vlad's wrist, him seeing this only smiled.
"Congratulations you passed."
Time has passed and everybody was back in the classroom…..with the students who failed the practical in there who was pretty down themselves.
"WAAAH! Midor! I'm excited to hear y-y-y-your s-tt-ories when you come b-b-back!" Mina who was now on the verge of tears was talking to everybody while some where trying to calm her down.
Aizawa then came and everybody proceeded to their seats, with the failed students still down.
"I now have your results." He looked at everybody. "And some of you have failed….meaning." Everyone was down, knowing full well what he was going to say. While Tomomi just observed his teacher with his serious face turned in to a shit-eating grin he has ever seen.
'Oh for fuck sake.'
"You're all going to the lodge!"
Everyone cheered while the failed students shouted in joy with tears on their eyes.
"Sensei why though?" Iida said raising his hand. Aizawa just looked at him and looked at his papers.
"None of you failed the written exam, while only some of you failed the Practical. I did say that if fail both of the exams you will stay here." Then the shit eating grin returned. "But all of it was just a logical ruse, to have you go at your maximum potential."
Everyone expressed their reactions to this, he listened and proceeded to explain the purpose of the practical.
"The purpose of the practical is to have all of you cover some of your weaknesses and face the challenges we have set on you."
This caused Tomomi to raised his eyebrow and his hand.
"Sensei if I may?" he nodded. "You and I both know that me and Shiro are strong and smart in the battlefield. So my question is What challenge do you have on us?"
The classroom was quiet when they waited for the answer, this was true of course both of them was smart and strong enough to handle their own and be a team at the same time, they adapt pretty good to the situation at hand.
"The reason for you to be paired with each other is….."
Everybody leaned in waiting for the answer like it was the most treasured secret.
"Absolutely nothing." Everyone went to the floor with that reason.
"Wh-what do you mean no reason?" Krishima asked.
"It means what it means, what you said was true. You and Shiro are both strong and intelligent in the battlefield that was the reason of us U.A. Staff upon you in a professional view."
"And in the other's view?"
"Is for us to see, how would you cooperate with each other, some of the students heard your declaration of rivalry and we wanted to see if that will hinder your act in battle, seeing not it has rested our minds."
Everyone relaxed at this Tomomi seeing the answer acceptable sat down on his chair again and waited for the end of class.
"But if I were to say my opinion, it was for shit and giggles."
'Oh son of a-
And that's a wrap!
I have no major announcements
