Since Kyouka came back from her exam, both she and Izuku watched Momo and Shoto pass their exam against Aizawa. After that, the two friends continued to watch other matches. There were a few who failed, but most of their classmates ended up passing.

He was happy to see those who passed and felt bad for those who didn't. Well, maybe it's a blessing in disguise that Mineta failed since he won't be at camp with the rest of the girls.

He had left right before he could see the conclusion of Koda and Aoyama's match, but he had faith that they would both pass.

But now, it was time for the final matchup of the day, and the one everyone is equally interested and dreading to watch.

Izuku stood next to Katsuki in the city of Ground Beta, the time for their exam starting now.

Katsuki only scoffed as he glanced at Izuku before starting to walk down the main road, cracking his knuckles.

Izuku internally groaned, watching his old friend from behind and knowing exactly what he has in mind. 'You're unbelievable, Kacchan. I wish I could jus-No, I have to calm myself and focus on passing this exam. I don't want to get caught up in my emotions like I did in the battle trial.'

Izuku ran forward to catch up to Katsuki, placing his hand on his shoulder. "Kacchan, you're not seriously thinking of taking on All Might all by yourself, right?"

Katsuki shoved Izuku's hand away. "Stay out of my way, Deku. I'm warning you."

'Teamwork is key, Izuku. Don't forget that. If I encounter a miracle, I may be able to convince him to work with me. Even if only for a moment.'

"Kacchan, you should know that the only way we can pass this exam is if we work together." Izuku put his hand back on his shoulder. "Even with All Might as our opponent, we have a solid chance."

"Shut it. I'm not going to give you another warning." Katsuki shoved his hand away again. "I'm going to beat him down and pass this stupid exam without your help."

"You know we can't do that. Even with those weights on him, we're not strong enou-"

Katsuki immediately swung a backhand toward Izuku's face. But Izuku caught Katsuki's gauntlet and slightly lowered it, making direct eye contact with him as he put pressure on the gauntlet to keep it in place. The impact of the swing slightly stung his hands, making him wonder just how heavy those things were.

Izuku could see the pure rage in Katsuki's eyes, but he didn't let himself get intimidated by this look. "You have 5 seconds to let go, Deku. I'm starting to get pissed off now."

"I'm not letting go until you agree to hear me out and cooperate with me."

"5."

"I can be as stubborn as you sometimes."

"4."

"Can you please stop counting and talk to me?"

"3."

"I don't want to fail this exam because of your refusal to work with me."

"2."

"Dammit Kacchan, for once can you listen to someone other than yourself?!"

Before Katsuki could count to 1, both boys could hear a shockwave rapidly coming at them, destroying everything in its path.

Izuku quickly used 13% to tackle Katsuki out of the way as the shockwave finally arrived, sending debris flying everywhere and a strong gust of wind sent the two boys flying a little farther than Izuku intended.

A small pebble landed on Izuku's head as he looked back to see the main road completely destroyed, looking like a tornado went through it as dust enveloped him and Katsuki. Pain shot through his body, but the shock he currently felt allowed him to ignore it. "What the heck, All Might? You didn't have to start off with a Texas Smash."

From across the city, All Might stroked his chin with a proud look on his face. "Impressive maneuver, Young Midoriya. Whoops, I can't let myself have the mindset of a teacher right now. I have to go into full villain mode." He did some squats to prep himself while putting on an evil smile. "Get ready to fight for your life, heroes."

'Aizawa, if anything should happen to me after this match due to a certain girl, my blood will be on your hands. But maybe I can give them a few moments to recollect themselves. This is the only mercy I'll show, so you better be grateful, Young Jirou. You're lucky I fear you more than I fear Aizawa. Both of you love to pull me in opposite directions. One of you will surely be the death of me.'

The two boys were in the middle of an alleyway, Izuku on top of Katsuki as the dust cleared. They both were in a bit of shock at the power that was just displayed, until one of them came to their senses first.

"Get off me!" Katsuki shoved Izuku off of himself and quickly stood up, dusting himself off.

Izuku stood up right after and rolled his eyes, having false hope that Katsuki would be at least a little grateful. "I'm sorry I saved us. I should've let us take that attack." He usually didn't like to be sarcastic in a mean-spirited way, but it felt needed in this instance before he mumbled under his breath. "Can't show any appreciation, can you?"

"I didn't ask for you to save me, moron. I could've handled that on my own." Katsuki then rolled his shoulders and looked down the alleyway to face the path of destruction that was just created. "Count yourself lucky that All Might saved your ass from reaching 1. As for me, I'm gonna give him some payback for interrupting me."

"You can't be serious." Izuku said in disbelief, watching as Katsuki slowly walked back towards the main road where All Might was almost certainly waiting for them. "Can't you realize that you're too weak to fight him on your own? I know you're not that stupid, Kacchan."

Katsuki stopped dead in his tracks and slowly turned towards his old friend, glaring holes into him. "What did you say to me, Deku?"

Izuku decided to ignore his question and proceeded to get out as many words as he could, still trying to talk at least a little bit of sense into his old friend. "If we can stop and take our time to strategize, we can pass with flying colors. We're even in the perfect position of being in an alleyway with so many buildings surrounding us. All we have to do is lie low and head towards the gate without All Might spotting us. Then we can-"

Katsuki threw a jab at Izuku's face, but it was barely dodged in time. "Why can't you ever learn when to shut the hell up?!" Katsuki looked like he was at his boiling point, breathing a little heavily.

Izuku could tell he put a lot of power into that jab as if he was intending to knock him out or something. "Could you stop interrupting me when I'm speaking?! Especially by lashing out!"

"Cause it seems to be the only method to get the message through that thick skull of yours!" Katsuki started to attack Izuku without using his quirk.

"Please…" Izuku dodged a right hook. "… Kacchan…" He dodged a left hook. "… I'd rather not…" He dodged an uppercut. "… fight you."

"Either shut it or quit dodging!" Katsuki grabbed Izuku by his respirator to pull him forward before firing a small explosion on his face.

Izuku let out a grunt and coughed a bit from the smoke, shaking his head as his fist tightened up and narrowed his eyes at the other boy. "Kacchan, I won't ask you again. Can we please work together?"

"Not in your damn life!" Before Katsuki could throw another attack, a fist connected to his cheek, sending him crashing through a window of a building.

Izuku looked at his fist and let out an exasperated sigh as green electricity surrounded his body and looked at the now broken window before widening his eyes. "Ah crap, what did I do?!" He looked into the building, but couldn't see Katsuki through the darkness in the building as he slowly approached to try to get a better view. "Hello? Hey Kacchan, that was an accident, okay? But I think it's fair, considering you instigated the fight. Now that we're even, we can finally put our differences aside just this once and cooperate… I don't hear a no."

He didn't hear a single word out of Katsuki, not even hearing him move around. He started to get worried that he possibly knocked out his exam partner. But at the same time, he was just a teensy bit relieved at the fact that he was out of sight from All Might without having to deal with Katsuki possibly sabotaging his cover.

However, he knew he couldn't forgive himself if he just left Katsuki's unconscious body in the building or left without at least checking up on him. So he decided to hop over the window to enter the building. "Kacchan, say anything if you're okay. God, it's dark in here. They couldn't have turned on the electricity for this exam?"

Izuku was about to call out for Katsuki again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a hand grabbed his face and slammed his head down onto the ground before an explosion was fired on his face.

Izuku's ears were ringing and his head was throbbing like crazy. He felt all disoriented and forgot what he was doing for a moment. Before he had a chance to recollect himself, he felt his body get picked up and thrown against the wall. Blood trickled down his head and he touched it as if to make sure it was his blood.

Izuku could hear familiar shouting getting closer to him and out of instinct, he sidestepped. An explosion was fired where he was standing, and a hole was blown into the wall. More light was coming into the building and Izuku's vision cleared to see Katsuki standing there with smoke emitting from his palm and a few cuts along his arms and a bloody nose.

"Lucky dodge there. But don't think you'll be able to dodge this!" Katsuki ran at Izuku, looking like he's gonna fire another explosion. Izuku tried to dodge by ducking, but an explosion didn't come. Instead, Katsuki delivered a kick to Izuku's side.

Izuku felt a pain on his side, but he managed to grab Katsuki's leg tight and activated Full Cowling before throwing Katsuki away as he tumbled on the ground. "If you aren't going to listen to me from my words, then I'll make you listen to me by doing it in a way I know you'll understand!"

Katsuki quickly recovered, but not without stumbling a little while standing back up. He wiped away the blood on his face and smirked. "Don't think that'll make a single difference. I'll beat you and then beat All Might all on my own. It'll be easy."

Izuku held up his fists and sparks popped out of Katsuki's palms as they began to start charging at each other. But before either of them could throw a single attack, All Might crashed through the ceiling, now standing in between the two of them with his fists on his hips.

"Now what are you two rascals doing in here? Should you really be having a spat when a villain is out to kill you?" Before the boys could react, he slammed both of his arms into their respective chests before beginning to spin at rapid speeds. "Oklahoma Smash!"

The two boys were flung right out of the building before it was leveled due to the damage done to it. All Might stood on the rubble of the building, craving his knuckles as he watched his two students start to slowly stand back up.

"Dammit… It's not your turn, All Might." Katsuki clenched his fists, pissed that the hero saved Izuku for the second time in this match.

"All Might… You couldn't have arrived 1 minute earlier or 1 minute later?" Izuku gulped, but he didn't waver one bit as he looked ready to try to handle whatever situation he might come across.

"If I'm interrupting something, then come at me if you dare." All Might flexed his muscles and looked ready to fight. "I'll annihilate the two of you."

Kyouka was feeling both stressed and angry right now over what she was watching. She wanted to jump into that exam and beat down Katsuki with how difficult he was being. Her anger only increased as the match went on, watching Katsuki try to fight Izuku and even landing an exploit on him.

But after Izuku entered the building he punched Katsuki into, there wasn't any footage of them. The only thing she saw was an explosion blowing a hole into the wall. But then, All Might came out of nowhere from above and then the building was leveled.

'All Might… You have no idea how much I want to hurt you and Bakugo right now… Why did Izuku have to get stuck with this matchup? It isn't fair to him to give him the worst partner against the number one hero. I wish I could've found some way to convince Mr. Aizawa to switch our partners. But he's never intimidated by me. I wonder if he has some kind of weakness I can exploit to make sure something like this never happens again. Man, that would be awesome…'

"Those two are in a real pickle. I hope neither of those boys or All Might go too far." Recovery Girl commented, leaning back in her chair.

Other than Kyouka and Shoto, all the students jumped in fear, their eyes almost popping out of their skulls. "Recovery Girl?! When'd you get here?!"

Everyone who yelled got whacked over the head with a cane before Recovery Girl held it in the air. "I've been here the entire time, you dolts!"

"Are we sure she isn't a ghost?" Kaminari tried to check if she was see-through.

"Don't know. Try touching her to find out." Sero dared him.

"I'm not doing it. You do it."

"Screw that. What if she possesses me as soon as I make contact? I don't want a wrinkly old lady taking over my body."

THWACK

THWACK

The two boys found themselves laying on the floor with large bumps on their heads, writing down "sorry" with their blood.

Ochako tiptoed around the boys to get closer to the screen. "I think they can still pass this exam? It's not completely hopeless for them…"

Tenya cupped his chin. "I do believe that their best bet to pass is avoiding any combat, but I'm not sure how that can be achieved with how tenacious Bakugo can be."

"Ooh, maybe they can show him a picture of Jirou to make him cower in fear." Mina suggested with a giggle.

Mineta shrugged his shoulders. "Please, All Might isn't actually scared of Jirou. I think he just humors her."

"I don't know. I'm not the most observant person in the world, but I can tell that confidence of his is shaken down whenever she's around. He acts the same around Mr. Aizawa." Ojiro explained.

"Well, it doesn't seem like Jirou likes the guy all that much as of late. So, like, maybe he can sense that and doesn't feel good about the fact that one of his students doesn't like him." Mina mentioned.

Sato crossed his arms. "Bakugo constantly disrespects All Might, and the only time I can remember him being a little scared is whenever Bakugo yells louder than usual in his face."

"Bakugo disrespects everyone. But it seems on a personal level between All Might and Jirou." Tokoyami added on. "It's a perplexing matter that could contain a dark truth hidden deep inside."

"Come on guys, should we talk about Jirou when she's in the same room as us? That's not very cool." Kirishima pointed at the subject of their conversation.

But Kyouka had no reaction to their words, her eyes glued to the screen. Mina was about to walk over to tap her on the shoulder, but Sero grabbed her ankle to stop her as he slowly lifted his head from the floor. "Trust me, Ashido… You don't want to bother her right now. I've recently developed a sixth sense of when she's not in the mood to be talked to. You'll only be endangering yourself if you talk to her. Now, if you excuse me, I'm feeling sleepy again…"

Sero's head then dropped, now taking a nap while Kaminari slowly sat back up, crossing his legs. "Whew, it was worth coming back here to watch this match. Makes me wish I had some popcorn."

"Here, have this." Sato threw a candy bar at Kaminari, which was promptly eaten before he offered one to everybody else.

After Momo took a candy bar and took a bite out of it, she examined Kyouka's face and could see how distressed she was. She then created a stress ball before placing it in the other girl's hand. "Here you go. I hope this will help."

"Huh?" Kyouka looked down to see the stress bell in her hand before giving Momo a small smile. "Thanks. I'm not sure how much it'll help if I'm being honest, but I appreciate it."

Kyouka began to squeeze the stress ball, waiting for either Izuku, Katsuki, or All Might to make the first move.

'Maybe if you leave Bakugo behind to fight All Might, you can still pass. Who am I kidding? Asking you to leave someone behind is like asking Bakugo to be a good person. But… maybe you two can beat him if you play your cards right. Bakugo doesn't back down from a challenge, I'll give him that much. So I have to hold on hope that he can make himself useful just this once.' She squeezed the ball harder, tearing into it a little. 'I swear to god, All Might, if you hurt Izuku too much, then I'll make you wish that I was still avoiding you.'

All Might was amused at the sight of the two boys staring him down before he held up a finger. "Now, which one of you has the guts to make the first move? Hey, I'll give the first one a free shot! But I'm warning you, if you waste i-"

Katsuki jumped forward, his finger in the pin of his gauntlet. "Die!" He pulled the pin, firing a massive explosion at All Might's face, blowing away the rubble the hero was standing on.

Smoke now enveloped the area in front of Katsuki as he let out a grin. Before he could start boasting, a large hand reached from the smoke and grabbed his head. "You're gonna regret it." All Might lifted up Katsuki, but the boy retaliated by firing a barrage of explosions at the hero's face. All Might coughed from the explosions and proceeded to chuck the boy away from him.

Izuku jumped up and caught Katsuki before he could slam against a building and his feet made contact with the wall before he started to scale the buildings by jumping back and forth between them.

"Trying to get the high ground, eh?" All Might looked up with a smile. "I don't know what makes you think that'll improve your chances, but I'll humor you."

Izuku made it to the rooftop and started to jump across with Katsuki in his arms. But after Katsuki recovered from his dizziness of getting thrown with such power, he pushed himself off Izuku and fell on the rooftop before standing back up. "What did I say about not needing your help?! Are you in that much of a rush to get beaten by me?!"

Izuku took in a deep breath, calming himself down before walking over to Katsuki and grabbing him by the shirt. "Before you say anything, let me talk just this once. If you keep fighting me while All Might's on the hunt, then the only outcome we have waiting for us is failure. Do you really want to lose, Kacchan? Or have you become only a weak shell of what you once were?" Katsuki was about to open his mouth to talk back, but stopped himself as he just kept staring at his old friend, remembering how his gauntlet did almost no damage to All Might. "My definition of victory is different from yours, but I think just once we can come to some agreement." He paused for a moment, considering his next choice of words and if he should say them or not. But ultimately, he felt like he had no choice but to say these next words, even if he might regret it later on. "I'll offer you a deal that I don't think you'll be able to turn down…"

Meanwhile, All Might was running through the main road while occasionally leaping into the air to look out for the boys. He had been searching for a few minutes now with no luck whatsoever, while occasionally glancing at the gate. 'Where could those two be? Did Young Midoriya only jump onto the roofs to confuse me or are they hiding out in another building? It's hard to imagine Young Bakugo taking the stealth approach, but I'd be proud if he did. Maybe I should begin directly guarding the gate to push them into making a mov-'

His thought process stopped, as he heard multiple explosions come from an alleyway right next to him. He snapped his head towards the alleyway, but instead of seeing Katsuki as he expected, he only saw a couple of used grenades laying on the ground, smoke emitting from them.

As he turned back around, he was face to face with Katsuki's hands. "Stun grenade!"

All Might's eyes were filled with a bright light as he shut them and tried turning his head away, beginning to reach for Katsuki's arms, ready to throw him onto the ground.

But before he could, Izuku dashed forward out of another alleyway, jumping high into the air, and pulling his leg back. "13%! St. Louis Smash!" Izuku delivered a powerful kick right across All Might's face.

All Might's head was forcibly jerked to the side with that kick, spitting out blood as he let out a grunt. Izuku had a confident smile at this sight and quickly pulled out the pair of handcuffs.

He prepared to slip them on All Might's wrist, but as he started to reach for it, All Might raised his fist and spiked Izuku hard to the ground.

Izuku crashed onto the ground with a cloud of dust surrounding him as he let out a pained scream. All Might twisted his body around and punched Katsuki right into a building with a crash and scream of his own.

All Might then landed right in front of a bloodied Izuku, watching as he struggled to stand back up. "Shame that kick of yours didn't have the oomph it needed. You could only train so much before a battle. But now it's time for your burial."

All Might raised his fist, ready to finish off Izuku, but before he could, a familiar voice shouted at him. "You aren't allowed to kill him before I do!"

A bloodied Katsuki started to fire a barrage of strong explosions down at All Might, blowing away Izuku and sending him tumbling away.

Izuku quickly recovered and jumped onto the wall of a building, bouncing off it and heading towards All Might, pulling his leg back for another kick.

The smoke cleared around All Might, and he could see Izuku coming as he raised an arm to block against the kick, but instead of a kick, a punch was delivered to the top of his head. 'This brings back memories of Gran Torino. Not pleasant ones…'

"You couldn't have warned me to back away?!" Izuku asked before he tried to deliver another punch, but his hand was caught by All Might.

"What do you care?! You're still alive, so quit complaining!" Katsuki shouted, wincing in pain from firing those explosions.

"If you two have time to argue, then you have time to think!" All Might threw Izuku toward Katsuki, but the hero didn't expect Katsuki to catch Izuku by his leg.

"Take him back!" Katsuki started to use explosions to propel himself in a spinning motion, speeding up with every explosion.

After gaining enough momentum, Katsuki threw Izuku down to All Might at a high speed, but in his dazed state from getting punched into a building and his arms still in pain, his aim was off.

Izuku crashed right back into the ground, groaning as he laid on the ground, a little tired and in pain. It hurt less than when All Might spiked him to the ground, but it still hurt a lot. He even felt dizzy from all that spinning. But he counted himself lucky that he didn't have a big lunch before his exams, or he would've lost it all by now. That would not have been pleasant.

'Maybe I shouldn't have counted on Kacchan throwing me with such accuracy after he had just taken a hit like that… I should've escaped his grip when I had the chance. That's what I get for having too much faith in Plan B. I might have to resort to Plan C. Dammit… I'm sorry Kyouka.'

All Might laughed with a heavy breath, looking down at the boy before kicking him to send him flying to a broken down guard railing. "I'll admit, that last technique had me worried for a moment. And I'll commend the two of you for creating an impromptu plan in the middle of your exam. Unfortunately, you seem to be out of juice now."

'I'm very much proud of you both. I think I could've gone a little easier on you, but I think you and Young Bakugo have made excellent progress. Perhaps if Young Bakugo makes the right move, I'll "allow" you two to escape. It's fortunate for you two that I'm about to run out of juice myself.'

Izuku panted, leaning his head back against the railing, finding his right arm stuck between the railing as he slowly slid it out and stood up.

"Dammit! I refuse to lose to you, All Might!" Katsuki used his explosions to propel himself toward All Might in a circular motion, looking like there was a tornado of explosions behind him.

All Might was about to throw a punch to create enough wind pressure to throw Katsuki off course, but he didn't have the energy for that right now as he felt his body throbbing with pain.

"Howitzer Impact!" Katsuki released a massive explosion onto All Might point-blank at his face.

All Might grunted, feeling pain from that explosion and being pushed back a little. He didn't expect to be hurt by this explosion, but it only proved to himself just how tired he is. Now Katsuki had the perfect chance to take Izuku and run.

As All Might was surrounded by smoke, he waited for Katsuki to take Izuku away, but he instead felt a familiar power near him, making him widen his eyes. 'Don't tell me…!'

Izuku's right arm glowed as he ran towards the smoke, his glove and sleeve tearing off. "Detroit Smash!"

Izuku delivered a full-powered punch to All Might's abdomen, blowing away all the smoke in an instant. The force of the punch sent the hero flying away and leaving behind a trail of dust and smoke.

From across the city, All Might crashed against the wall that was next to the gate, leaning up against it as he was trying to hold onto consciousness. He was defeated by his two students and let out a weak chuckle at this revelation. "I didn't expect those two to defeat me, in a physical manner of speaking."

His whole plan was to be rough on those two to force them to work together and run away, but they managed to work together before he did much damage to either of them.

He began to cough into his hand, seeing some blood. "I really am getting all weak and old, aren't I? What a drag... Soon enough, I won't be able to hide my age anymore. Perhaps I should buy some special moisturizer to hide my wrinkles better. Then again, the change in my wrinkles might freak out some of my biggest fanboys." He laughed at his own joke, thinking about his two biggest fanboys in the world. "I hope all of those students don't think I'm some weak has-been after being defeated like that." He looked up, watching the few clouds slowly move across the sky. "I'll have to put them through the wringer once they're back from their training camp, so they realize how tough I can be."

He felt a vibration in his pocket before he reached in and grabbed his phone, seeing a message from Recovery Girl that the camera facing him was turned off and that Aizawa will pick him up before Katsuki sees him in his weakened form.

All Might sighed in relief as steam emitted from his body, starting to let himself relax. "It's disappointing that they won't be able to put handcuffs on me themselves, but this will do…"

He closed his eyes as he transformed into his scrawny form. 'I'm happy for those two. They'll probably take their sweet time passing through the gate with how much time they have left on the clock and how tired they must be. I hope Young Jirou doesn't hate me more than she already does with how much I roughed up Young Midoriya. Especially with the fact that he broke his arm in order to defeat me. I have to find some way to get back on her good side sometime this summer. I don't want her to hate me forever. But I won't try today or anytime this week while the memory of me hurting her love is still very fresh in her mind. No point in stressing about that now. I should take this time to rest…'

All Might finally lost consciousness with a smile on his face as Aizawa arrived, picking up the hero. "I know I told you to push them, but I didn't see them pushing you. Nonetheless, I think you have too much faith in those two brats."

"WHAT THE HELL?! DID MIDORIYA AND BAKUGO JUST TAKE DOWN ALL MIGHT?!" Kaminari fell back from shock.

Shoji blinked, rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things. "Whoa, I think they did. What power those two possess…"

Kirishima pumped his fist. "Aw yeah! That was a real manly display of teamwork!"

"He only passed because I arrived just in time to watch him." Aoyama swept his hair. "Voilà! My presence is such a good luck charm, is it not?!"

"How can you act so pompous when you're in that pose?" Sero sweatdropped, seeing Aoyama laying down with one hand over his stomach, obviously in a lot of pain.

Momo put her hand on Kyouka's shoulder as she smiled. "I'm astonished to see Midoriya and Bakugo being able to work together in order to pass."

"He passed…?" Kyouka dropped her torn stress ball into the floor, her eyes wide and her mouth agape.

Momo nodded. "He did. That power of Midoriya's is quite impressive, I'll tell you."

"Oh my god, he actually did it." Kyouka's face of disbelief slowly turned into one of joy as she threw her arms up in the air. "Hell yeah! Izuku beat All Might! He really did it!"

Kyouka even threw a hug around Momo while continuing to chant that Izuku won, joy filling her body as Momo laughed, not expecting this action from Kyouka. But she wasn't complaining as she hugged her friend back.

Kirishima raised a brow at that last statement. "Wait, Bakugo was a big hel-"

Mina pressed her finger onto his lips. "Shh. Just let her have this. Look how hyped she is. You don't wanna be a party pooper, right?"

Kirishima shook his head, looking at a foot tall pile of torn up stress balls that laid at Kyouka's feet. "You got a point there, man."

"Everyone, take a look. Midoriya and Bakugo don't seem to be advancing towards the gate." Shoto pointed out, still looking at the screen while everyone was still celebrating. "They're both still standing there. Menacingly."

"Say what?" Kyouka released Momo from her hug as her head snapped towards the screen, smiling nervously. "Wh-Why aren't they making a move…? C-Come on, Izuku. Get moving... I know you need some rest, but you're making me a little nervous here."

"I don't have a good feeling about this." Momo placed her hand on her chest.

"We'll see." Shoto watched, expecting the worst-case scenario from those two.

"H-Hey, Recovery Girl, can't you just end it and say they pass?" Kyouka asked, looking at the hero in desperation.

"I'm sorry dear, but in order to pass they're required to put a pair of handcuffs on their opponent or pass through the gate. There's no rule for simply knocking out their opponent. Trust me, I messaged Aizawa as soon as I saw All Might get taken out, but he gave the same explanation I just gave you. All anyone can do is watch what they'll do next." Recovery Girl explained, having a feeling that she'll be having more work on her plate very soon.

'Izuku, please… Don't tell me you're going to do what I think you're going to do. Trust me, I want to see you kick his ass more than anybody here, but I want you to be at camp with me too. We have to go to summer camp together…'

In the middle of the main road, Izuku and Katsuki faced each other, both panting. But neither of them looked satisfied with their victory and looked like they were still ready to fight.

Izuku's broken right arm hung at his side, which Katsuki pointed at. "Bastard, you didn't mention that you'd break your arm. That wasn't part of your deal."

"It's not like that was my initial plan…" Izuku huffed out, grabbing the shoulder of his broken arm. "It was Plan C." He let out a small smirk. "I wouldn't have had to resort to it if you properly threw me at All Might."

"Do you seriously think you have to handicap yourself in order to fight me? You think I'm that weak, is that it? I'm sick and tired of being looked down upon by you and that Icy Hot bastard." Katsuki glared at Izuku, gritting his teeth as veins popped out of his head. "I refuse to have another fight like this!"

Izuku was confused by this statement, watching as Katsuki removed his gauntlet from his right arm, throwing it to the side. "What are you doin-"

Katsuki kneeled down and brought his left gauntlet down onto his right arm with full force, breaking his arm with a loud crack. Katsuki winced in pain as he seethed through his teeth, holding in any vocal noises of pain. "Shit… That hurt like hell."

Izuku stared at Katsuki with wide eyes, not believing he just did that. He couldn't think of what to say other than one simple phrase. "Are you insane?!"

"Maybe I am." Katsuki slowly stood back up, holding onto the shoulder of his broken arm before he smirked. "But I don't want to hear that from you of all people. Especially when I'm still going to kick your ass with a broken arm."

"Do you really want to do this, Kacchan?" Izuku asked, removing his hand from his shoulder to gesture towards the gate. "We can still stop this and walk through that gate to pass."

"That wouldn't be a real win for me. You know that. That only way I can truly win is if I beat you right here, right now." Katsuki then ran at Izuku and immediately kneed him in the gut. "You hear that, Deku?!"

Izuku felt the wind taken out of him from that attack, along with an immense pain in his stomach from those steel knee guards.

Yep, he was more glad than ever that he didn't have a big lunch. That didn't stop him from dropping onto his knees with his good hand over his gut.

"Done already? I hate to say I expected more out of ya." Small explosions popped out of Katsuki's palm, but before he could attack, Izuku quickly rose up and delivered a headbutt right to his face.

Katsuki grunted and placed his good hand over his nose as blood trickled down from it. But his smirk widened before he promptly jumped and fired an explosion to launch himself into the air.

Izuku looked up and raised his arm to guard against any upcoming attack as an explosion was fired at him from above. He felt the pain in his arm from the explosion before quickly jumping out of the smoke and jumping high into the high, doing a backflip and throwing a kick down at Katsuki.

Katsuki used his forehead to defend against the kick, his brain rattling in his skull as he placed his hand on Izuku's chest, firing a strong explosion and sending Izuku flying towards a building, slamming into it.

Unfortunately, Katsuki couldn't properly position himself to land on his feet or use his other arm to maneuver, so he fell onto the ground, landing on his broken arm. He growled, trying to handle the pain shooting through his entire arm. For a moment he wondered how Izuku was used to this, but he immediately wiped those thoughts away, shaking his head.

Katsuki then looked forward and saw Izuku, still standing back up after an attack like that with a broken arm to boot. Tears began to escape his eyes as his body shook in anger. "How are you still standing?!"

Izuku didn't know how to respond to that question, looking at his old friend as he stood up, both boys panting heavier than before.

"I wanted to beat All Might all on my own, ya know! I wanted to be the sole victor against him to prove just how strong I am! But no! I needed your damn help! You of all people! Someone who's always been beneath me! Do you have any idea how infuriating that is?! What's the point in being strong if you can't do anything on your own?! Am I even strong to begin with?! Tell me!"

Izuku's eyes slightly widened before he grit his teeth, starting to look frustrated himself. "You're the one infuriated? You? What makes you think I'm not infuriated too, huh?" He began to glare at Katsuki. "For over a decade, I racked my brain for reasons you could hate me and push me away. Was it because I was quirkless? Because I was weak? Because I got the same All Might card as you did? Or was there never a reason and you just decided to start hating me one day?"

Now Katsuki was the one who went quiet at the question, an angry expression still on his face, but also slightly mixed with an expression of shock.

"You know what's funny? Despite how you treated me for all these years, I was ready to be your close friend again at the snap of a finger. I wanted that." Izuku clutched his chest, looking down at his hand. "There are times I hate myself for not being able to truly hate you. Even with Kyouka telling me to completely forget about you ever since we were first years in middle school, I didn't listen and kept being so stubborn. What an idiot I was…"

Izuku thought about all of the times Katsuki pushed him away. Calling him names, beating him up, scaring him, making him feel like nothing. Tears escaped his eyes as he looked back at his old friend.

"You and All Might, people who can stand up and be strong, inspired me in so many ways. But at the same time, you're both so far away. I know what I'm lacking, yet I still can't grasp it. But you're asking me if you're strong and what the point of your strength is? I refuse to answer those questions for you. You'll have to answer them yourself. But I will tell you this… I don't care how this battle ends. I'm making sure you don't see me as the weak Deku anymore." Izuku took a deep breath before raising his fist and forcing a smile on his face. "So come at me, you bastard!"

Katsuki closed his eyes as he tightened his fist before opening his eyes back up. "Fine then! See if ya can handle this!"

Katsuki leaned his head towards the gauntlet he still had on and bit down on the pin, keeping his eyes focused on Izuku.

"Oh, not this again..." Izuku sighed, watching as Katsuki jerked his head to the side, effectively pulling the pin.

A massive explosion was fired at Izuku, but he jumped away at the last second as the explosion hit the building, sending debris flying. A sharp piece of stray debris hit Izuku right in his left bicep, piercing through it. Izuku let out a scream at the sharp pain in that arm as blood flowed down it. Luckily, he could still move the arm, but not without being in a lot of pain.

But Izuku refused to let the pain stop him as he ran at Katsuki who was breathing heavily and jumped to punch him across the face, sending him tumbling across the ground.

What Izuku didn't notice is that his power output during Full Cowling had increased from 5% to 8% with that punch.

While Katsuki was tumbling, he forced his broken arm to move, aiming both arms at Izuku, forcing a powerful explosion to fire at him.

Now both boys were tumbling across the ground, both of their bodies entirely in pain. When they finally stopped, neither of them had the stamina to even stand up, much less fight.

They could feel their consciousness fading away from them as the blue sky above them slowly turned dark. In the end, both boys fell unconscious on the ground, the wind lightly blowing their hair.

Footsteps approached the two unconscious bodies as Aizawa scratched the back of his head, looking down at them. "Yep… Too much faith. These children are real pieces of work."

Recovery Girl let out a sigh of disappointment, closing her eyes, while many students groaned in disappointment. "Looks like those boys fail. They're both completely unconscious."

Kirishima tilted his head. "I don't know what to make of this. That was a manly battle filled with passion. But they totally bombed their exam. I wish I could say I'm glad that I won't be alone in failing, but I was really rooting for those two."

"I don't understand why Midoriya let himself get swept up into fighting Bakugo. I thought he was smarter than that. Ribbit." Tsuyu lowered her head.

Tokoyami crossed his arms. "The two of them must learn to properly get along one of these days. Their relationship could be a matter of life or death one day."

Ochako's head dropped. "They couldn't have waited until after the exams to fight? I feel so sorry that they both failed."

Shoto stayed silent for a bit as he kept his eyes on the screen. 'You can never let a fight go, can you, Midoriya? I still don't understand your mentality, but I can tell it's what makes you special.'

A small smile formed on Shoto's face. "I believe it is for the best that this fight happened. Maybe in some weird way, this is their version of communication. Over a week ago, Kaminari told me about a manga where two characters can communicate by fighting."

"Oh yeah, I did, didn't I?" Kaminari cupped his chin before his eyes lit up, and he smiled at Shoto. "Did you get a chance to read it yet?"

"I didn't have the time with the final exams looming over our heads, but I'll try to get to it if I have any free time during the summer."

"Trust me, Todoroki. You're totally gonna love it. The art style is a little weird and the ending is questionable, but the crazy pacing is pure, nonstop awesomeness. I even heard there's a part 2 coming out soon."

From behind Shoto, Momo made an X with her arms and shook her head as if to tell him to stop talking about manga. Kaminari looked confused at the gestures, but he then noticed Kyouka's entire body shaking in anger. He gulped and shut himself up before he got himself killed.

Kyouka watched as Aizawa tended to Izuku's unconscious body with first aid and how the gauze that was wrapped around his left arm turned red from his blood.

Her fists tightened and tightened to the point where her nails were digging deep into her palms, blood trickling down. But the girl didn't take notice of Kaminari's conversation or the pain in her hands.

She could hear Momo's muffled voice, voicing concern for her hands and offering to treat them, but she paid the voice no mind.

The only thing that stopped her from using her earphone jacks to pierce the screen was the last bit of sense that remained in her head, knowing it'd be pointless.

Her eyes then shifted to Katsuki as Aizawa now began to give him first aid, starting to glare at him.

One thing she wanted to pierce with her earphone jacks was Katsuki's body. Oh, what she would give to see his blood dripping off of her earphone jacks like in Sports Festival, but more than just a few drops. To see him on the ground, writhing in pain and begging for his life and crying like a coward while his clothes were riddled with bloody holes from her jacks. Only for her to laugh at his sorry state and take joy in the fact that his measly life is in the palm of her hand. The same boy who has hurt her hero for so many years without a single ounce of remorse. He deserved everything that's coming to him and more without any mercy. Maybe he would've been better off dead by that sludge villain over a year ago. No, he definitely would've been. She wondered at one point if she was a bad person for considering that back then, but now she isn't worrying about that at all. But maybe she wouldn't want him being killed off by some random villain when she could personally make him suffer. And then when he's suffered enough, she could finally end it all and ki-

A pounding headache suddenly hit her like a truck as her knees slightly buckled, and she could feel a pair of hands holding her shoulders for support.

But despite the painful headache, she kept glaring at Katsuki's unconscious body as he got picked up by Present Mic who had just arrived on the scene.

"Kyouka." A muffled Momo called out. "Kyouka, are you okay?"

"Sit her down, sweetie. Allow me to check up on her." A muffled Recovery Girl ordered.

Momo gently sat Kyouka down, keeping at least a hand on her shoulder. Recovery Girl then hopped off her chair, put on a stethoscope and placed it on Kyouka's chest.

But before the hero could say anything, Kyouka brushed the stethoscope away and shook her head. "I'm fine now…"

Her eyes were now back on Izuku as it was picked up by Aizawa. The headache had completely left her and all the rage in her was slowly dissipating, although still lingering there a little. However, she couldn't recall too well what exact thoughts were roaming her mind moments ago.

She then sharply sucked in air through her teeth, suddenly feeling pain in her palms before looking at how bloody they were along with blood on her nails.

'When'd that happen?'

"Are you sure that you're fine, dearie? Is this another sudden headache like the one you had during your internship?" Recovery Girl asked, ready to take Kyouka to the Nurse's office if she had to.

Kyouka gave a small nod, still looking away from her hands. "It is, but it's just a headache. I don't think it's anything to worry about…"

"If you say so, but I'm treating your hands. Eat this too." Recovery Girl shoved a piece of candy into Kyouka's mouth before delivering a kiss to Kyouka's forehead.

Kyouka rolled her eyes and moved the candy around in her mouth as she watched the wounds on her hands heal, while Momo watched in concern. However, Momo was more concerned for Kyouka's mental state rather than her physical state.

'What is the matter with you, Kyouka? I'm starting to feel a little frightened now. I'm not being paranoid about this, am I?'

All Might was sitting up in the hospital bed of the nurse's office as the sun started to set. His entire scrawny body was covered in bandages, still not fully recovered from his fight with Izuku and Katsuki. He looked at the two unconscious boys who each laid in their respective beds before smiling. "You know, even though they both miserably failed the exam, I can't help but feel happier with this outcome rather than them passing. "

THWACK

His head got smacked with a cane, and he looked back to see Recovery Girl glaring at him with a balloon and card in hand. "You shouldn't be praising those two for fighting during an exam even if they can't hear it!"

"Hey, don't smack someone who's injured!" All Might whined before wincing his pain and grabbing his side. "It's also against the 'Please Don't Hurt All Might When He's In His Weakened State' rule."

"I'll smack you as many times as I have to until I get through that thick skull of yours." Recovery Girl scolded as she put down the card and balloon onto the nightstand between All Might and Izuku's beds.

"So, what's with that stuff? Were you worried about little old me and decided to bring them for me?" All Might teased with a chuckle.

Recovery Girl sighed, seeing no point in smacking him again. "Maybe all the blows to your head throughout the years gave you severe brain damage. I don't want to worsen your condition."

All Might gave a deadpan face. "I was only kidding around."

"That Jirou girl came by, looking for you and Midoriya not long ago. She looked worried when she spoke the boy's name, but disgusted when she spoke your name. What did you do to her?"

"Oh, that. I…kept the secret about All For One from them until recently. She didn't take it kindly that I never gave Young Midoriya any warnings about him" All Might sighed. "I don't blame her for her anger towards me."

"Oh, is that so? I can see why she's angry, but I can also see why you didn't inform them about that villain. All of us believed he had died after your last battle with him. To be frank, no one saw this coming. But maybe we should've, considering how much of a monster he was."

"I'm not looking to make any excuses. Not anymore. I just wish that things will go back to normal between the two of us… Young Midoriya is none the wiser to her current feelings towards me, but we both mutually agreed on keeping it that way."

"Are you both scared that he'll have to choose between the two of you?" Recovery Girl gave a small snicker.

"No, nothing melodramatic like that. We just know that it'll make him feel horrible if he knew that his best friend hated his favorite hero." A small smile formed on All Might's face. "But my current goal is to somehow make things better between Young Jirou and me, along with taking her and Young Midoriya to an expensive barbecue place by the end of the summer. I've only ever taken them out for some cheap eats, so it will definitely be a nice change of pace."

"I'm sure they'd like that."

"Yeah… So when can I get out of here?"

"You're staying here overnight, but I'll have you moved to the outdoor medical tent so Bakugo doesn't end up seeing you in your weakened state."

"I understand. But can I have some candy before you send me away?"

"No. All you get is a bottle of water."

"Aww…"

Izuku's eyes slowly opened, seeing the ceiling of the nurse's office. He couldn't tell whether it was a good or bad thing that he recognized this familiar scenery in an instant. He looked out the window to see it was dark outside, getting a view of the lampposts illuminating the trees in front of the school. "What time is it…?"

"6:32."

"Thanks." He slowly sat up, groaning in pain from how sore his entire body was feeling. But his eyes suddenly widened as he recognized the voice and turned to his left to see Katsuki sitting up on his bed, staring at the clock on the wall. "You're here too?"

"You sound disappointed. I'm sorry the nurse's office isn't reserved for dumbasses who constantly break themselves." Katsuki glanced at Izuku, his voice sounding as calm as it could be.

"It's not like I'm trying to break myself. I'm lucky that my arms are still functional with how much abuse I've given them." Izuku slowly moved around both of his arms, noticing a light layer of bandages covering his entire right arm and a heavier layer on his left bicep.

"Whatever you say." Katsuki simply said, turning his head back to the wall.

Izuku didn't say anything to that and soon enough an uncomfortable silence started to fill the room with the only sound being the ticking clock. It was as if neither of them knew what to say to the other because well… they didn't. Neither of them can even remember the last time they had a conversation for the sake of a conversation.

Izuku thought it would be better if he just fell asleep until he was able to go home. He decided to simply examine the room until he got tired and bored enough, but he soon noticed a card and balloon sitting on his nightstand. "Huh?"

He reached over and grabbed the card before opening it. It read "Call me whenever you're feeling better!" with a smiley face next to it, and he smiled back at the card, knowing who it was from.

"Can you not make that stupid face at a card? It's disturbing to all hell." Katsuki groaned out, making a disgusted face.

"You do know we have curtains we can pull to cover each other, right?" Izuku furrowed his eyebrows.

"Idiot, don't you think I would've done that before you woke up? That old hag of a nurse removed the curtains and placed them across the room. Must've done that crap on purpose."

Izuku looked across the room and saw the curtains lying on the floor. "Oh… I didn't notice."

"There's a lot you don't notice. Good thing I notice shit a lot more than you do. Which is why I'm going to ask what's up with that annoying power of yours?" Katsuki blurted out, making Izuku's body stiffen up. "I know for damn sure that your quirk isn't natural. I remember hearing about your X-Ray results from my old hag when your mom told her years ago. I even did research after you claimed to be a late bloomer, but I never found any cases like yours. You have to be more stupid than I thought you were if you thought I wouldn't notice anything." He narrowed his eyes at Izuku, starting to make eye contact. "You've always been a quirkless loser until recently. That's a fact. I also know you not being quirkless anymore must be related to All Might somehow. It's no secret that you're his favorite student, and it makes me wonder how much of an idiot he is for making it so obvious. I got a few theories in mind, but I won't bother stating them."

Izuku wasn't sure how to respond to that, knowing that denying it would make him look more guilty, but of course he can't just admit it.

"Your hesitation tells me I'm right." Katsuki stated, making Izuku slightly jump. "You've always been too easy to read, ya loser."

"So what if my quirk isn't natural?" Izuku asked, doing his best not to seem nervous, but still gulped.

"Nothing. I just wanted to confirm that for myself. I don't care for the details either, so you don't have to worry about whatever lame secret you and All Might probably have. I'll find out eventually with how stupid you two can be."

'We're not that bad, are we? I know Kyouka has scolded All Might a few times for not being the most discreet, but I think we've been really careful… Crap, no one else has heard us, right?'

"That girlfriend of yours knows about your quirk, doesn't she? Details and all." Katsuki raised a brow. "When we were at the entrance exam, she looked awfully confident about you passing. And she never seemed the least bit surprised whenever you displayed your power. It pissed me off to no end how she acted all high and mighty with her confidence in your power. I thought she had to know something or she was just blind."

"Sh-She not my girlfriend." Izuku sputtered out, a light red dusting over his cheeks.

"I don't care. Just answer the question."

Izuku dropped his head. "Yes… Kyouka knows everything about my power."

"Figures. That girl has always seemed like she knows more than she lets on ever since middle school."

"Hm? What's that supposed to mean?"

"... Nothing." Katsuki brought his hand over his mouth, lightly tapping on his cheek.

'That girl has always weirded me out a little ever since our first year of middle school… I know her being aware of that nerd's quirk isn't the only secret she has, but there's no way for me to pinpoint what other secrets she has… Tch, not my problem anyway. It's probably something lame.'

"You piss me off so much. You know that, don't you?"

"Are we doing this again?" Izuku groaned out, laying his head back on the pillow. "I'm too tired for another fight…"

"Shut it and just listen. I'm only ever going to tell you this once." Katsuki felt hesitation rising up inside him, but he just pushed forward and blurted it out. "I don't see you as Deku anymore."

Izuku's eyes widened, but he was too comfortable and tired to really look at Katsuki. "What'd you say?"

"I'm not repeating myself, moron. But don't think that me saying that is gonna make us friends. I still want to kick your ass like I did before, if not more so now." Katsuki growled out, laying back down on the bed as well. "I wasn't satisfied with our fight, ya know."

Izuku let out a small chuckle. "I hate to admit it, but I feel the same."

"One day, I'm fighting you for real when we're both at our best without any annoying interference. You better not disappoint me."

"I'd be fine with that… But maybe we should have a more formal match next time. It's bad enough we failed our exam. I don't want to risk getting suspended or expelled. But just so you know, I don't plan on losing our next match or having another draw."

"Tch, dumbass. I'll murder you."

"We'll see about that."

The two boys laid down for the rest of the night, keeping to themselves. However, for the first time in so many years, they felt like they could understand each other, if only just the tiniest amount.

It isn't much, but it's a start.

Kyouka found herself in a black void of nothingness, the only sounds she can hear right now being her breath and her heartbeat.

She looked forward to see a perfect reflection of herself, staring right back at her.

After what felt like an hour of a staring contest, the young girl began to make various gestures and faces at the reflection, watching as it copied her every move.

Kyouka then pointed at the reflection, but when she lowered her arm, the reflection was still pointing at her.

This looked like some scene out of a horror film, which Kyouka would normally be terrified by. However, she only felt uncomfortable by this sight.

"Is this thing broken or something?" Kyouka continued to make gestures and faces at the reflection, but the reflection was still pointing back at her with a blank expression on its face. "Hello? You're supposed to do what I do. If I wave, you wave back. If I smile, you smile back. See, your mouth isn't even moving when I talk. Ugh, is there a play button on this thing? Maybe kicking it will-"

"Monster."

"Say what?"

"Monster."

"Yeah, I heard you."

"Monster."

"Okay… I get it."

"Monster."

"Can you stop? I'm getting annoyed here."

"Monster."

"Stop."

"Monster."

"Stop it!"

"Monster!"

"Shut up!"

"Monster!"

"I'm begging you!"

"Monster!"

"I'll kill you!"

"Monster!"

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

"Monster!"

"I'll kill you! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"

Kyouka rose up from her bed in a cold sweat, putting her hand over her mouth out of instinct. She listened to her surroundings and didn't hear any of her parents waking up and approaching her room.

'Good. Seems like I didn't scream anything out loud. But that dream really gave me a scare. Wait… What was I dreaming about? I remember seeing myself, but that's about it. I think... Hmm.'

The girl yawned and tried to think about the dream to recall anything about it. Before anything could pop up in her head, she took notice of her phone lying on her nightstand, right next to her choker and keychain. It was turned on with an ongoing call with Izuku that's lasted for hours now.

Initially, she wanted to stay with him in the nurse's office overnight, but Recovery Girl shooed her away and there was no way she could sneak into U.A of all places to check up on him. So, a phone call is the next best thing.

She remembered how he called her and told her that he was okay, along with apologizing for failing the exam. Of course, she quickly forgave him and was just happy to hear his voice.

Unfortunately, Izuku fell asleep after only a few minutes into the call, but she didn't have it in her to hang up on him, so she left the call going the whole time.

Now all Kyouka could hear was his soft breathing on the phone as she picked it up with a smile, holding it close to her lips.

"I love you, Izuku."

"Quiet, Earlobes. I'm trying to sleep."

"Eh?"

A/N

Chapter 55 is done! It feels good to release a chapter in under a month! I hope the next chapter can come quicker, but no promises. I still only have a quarter of a plan for the next 10 chapters. But this chapter mainly took a while cause of writing the fight scene.

Just always remember how much I hate writing fight scenes and how I suck at them. Which is regrettable, considering how many more fight scenes I have planned for the future… Fuck. If any of you have any tips on fight scenes, I'm open to suggestions.

I always enjoy exploring Kyouka's dark side whenever I get the chance and I can't wait for future plans I have of her dark side becoming more prevalent.

I do feel like I could've done so much better with Izuku and Katsuki's interactions, but it is what it is. Hopefully, I can get better with their interactions in time.

Time to get to the reviews!

benedictloe: No, Banjo won't be anyone special. He'll have about the same role as canon. Can't say I'm gonna do any more of the OVAs. Was gonna do the 2nd, but decided against it in the end.

Bucio: I'm glad I ended the Ochako rivalry so soon and now I gotta worry about Toga… Don't worry, Izuku will have his time to shine when it comes to his feelings for Kyouka. Won't say how, but I have the exact moment planned. In my opinion, the fact that Izuku and Katsuki are so dysfunctional is what makes them amazing.

Ability King KK: We will see how what AFO did to Kyouka will be handled. Could be good or could be bad.

Remnant's Sage: I actually have snacked on them once in a while as a kid whenever my family and I were eating out at McDonald's and I was all finished with my food. Don't know why I chose to cure my boredom by snacking on the near empty packets.

XxCaseyXx: Sir, do you not fully understand anatomy? I don't think the human body can do that.

drake wind: Don't worry, I'm giving them the plot armor of passing off screen.

Mew-the-Dark-Matter-buster1: You know, there are times when I regret writing Kyouka as a yandere cause I really only did it at first because I saw another story do it and was like "I wanna try." But I'm starting to slowly be okay with it again. Also, I am looking forward about the kind of actions I'll have Kyouka perform in the future. It won't be anything too dark and messed up if you ask me, but they won't be very heroic.

Cyber-RK18: I like to remember that Ochako can be a very mature girl when the situation calls for it. Actually, I think most students in the class have a mature side to them.

Z: No, talking force ghost partner. I'm not the biggest fan of that personally.

Migetsu Newgate: God… Don't remind me how long this story is despite not making it so far in the timeline. I'm scared to get to chapter 100. God I'm hoping this story won't reach 200.

DragonB0b: This was his true goal all along. He never was the villain.

That is all for the reviews!

That's the end of this chapter! Feel free to leave a review!
