Kasady POV

After a hectic first day at UA, I was frankly ready to relax with some regular school studies (I know. I never thought I'd say it either.). Learning English with Present Mic was a cinch as I used to live in America, and I had Taniko for the rest of our subjects. Lunch was nothing new, but I gotta admit, UA's got a pretty sweet menu. And finally, the moment all of us in 1-A had been waiting for: Foundational Hero Studies, with All Might of all people!

"IT'S MEEE!" he said in a booming voice as he strolled into the class.

"...Through the door like a normal person. Anyway, for this class, we'll be building up your hero foundations through various skills. So let's jump right into this… WITH THE TRIAL OF BATTLE!"

Tension and excitement filled the atmosphere of the room.

"And to go with your first battle, here are your hero uniforms that you have requested. Get changed and ready to go! We shall meet at Grounds B!"

As All Might left the room, the right wall of the class opened to reveal shelves with duffel bags with our names on them. Taniko and I grabbed our bags and headed to our locker rooms.
"Let's get suited up!" she said excitedly.

Within ten minutes the entire class had lined up. We all looked pretty professional. Taniko strolled up and gave me a quick lookover.

"Not half-bad," she said.

A surprising thing I learned about the symbiote, was that it somehow had certain memories of other Spider-Men after we came into this dimension. My costume took inspiration off of two other spiders: one who was a clone or something- I think his name was Ben- and another from a future timeline. It was dark navy blue bodysuit with red lines on my arms and legs as well as 4 elbow spikes (two on each arm). It also had a grey sleeveless hoodie. The mask covered my whole head and had two one-way mirrors for lenses. The emblem on the hoodie was a white skull with eight spider legs coming out of it. The fingers had claws and the feet had grooved soles to allow me to stick to surfaces, even without the symbiote. The suit was covered in zippers so small, they were practically invisible to allow portions of the symbiote to come through without transforming my whole body into Carnage. Finally, the whole suit was fireproof and waterproof and with the click of a button on the spider emblem, the hood would tighten and block out sound, removing the symbiotes 2 weaknesses.

"Half-bad?! This suit is amazing! If anything, your suit could do with a color-swap. Perhaps yellow and blue?" I teased.

Tamiko's suit was a mixture of defense and mobility. On her head, she wore a small biker helmet with two holes for her horns. While she wore a plain black and purple body suit, her gloves and boots and been improved from her previous design. They could absorb impact better and the metal studs on her gloves and boots could grow to ten-inch long blades. Two on each hand and one on her foot. Reminded me of a certain X-Man…

"What? I- never mind. Anyway, what do you think All Might has planned for us?"

"Well he said the 'TRIAL OF BATTLE', didn't he? So maybe something similar to the entrance exam?"

"I doubt that he wi-"

"Hey guys wait up!" Uraraka called over to us.

"Hey, nice look," Taniko said.

"Yeah, I suppose. I just wish I had drawn my request sketch a bit better. It came out all puffy. It's a bit embarrassing".

"Here comes All Might," I said, catching both of their attention.

The large man strutted forward and analyzed all of our costumes before stopping on Midoriya. He paused for a moment , and shuddered and gave a small cough. I look over at Midoriya. I didn't see what was wrong. He wore a green suit with a mesh mask and large green feathers on his head that made him look almost like All- Ohhhhhhh.

"Alright students! This will be an indoor trial. Acts of villainy usually occur indoors, and any villain with intelligence can be lurking in the shadows. FOR THIS TEST, YOU WILL BE SEPARATED INTO "VILLAIN" AND "HERO" GROUPS FOR A TWO-ON-TWO BATTLE. Teams will be drawn by lots. So step up everyone!"

Teams:

A: Midoriya & Uraraka

B: Todoroki & Shoji

C: Yaoyorozu & Mineta

D: Bakugo & Iida

E: Aoyama & Ashido

F: Kasady & Jiro

G: Kaminari & Sero

H: Tokoyami & Asui

I: Hagakure & Ojiro

J: Kirishima & Hiraki

K: Koda & Sato

"Hmmm. It seems we have an uneven number of teams. Very well. We will have some teams go twice in order to account for that. So," All Might said as he reaching into two boxes, "the teams going up first are F for the heroes and C for the villains!"

Jiro POV

"So they've got five minutes to prepare for us, huh" Kasady said.

"Umm, yeah. Say, can you get down from there? It's a little disorienting to talk to someone upside-down,"

Kasady was hanging upside down from a lamppost using a web line.

"Oh, sorry," After jumping down, he dusted himself off and asked, "So do you have a strategy?"

"W-well, with my quirk, I can pinpoint their location easily and uh…" I don't know why I was so flustered. I mean sure, Kasady saved me during the entrance exam. And that costume didn't leave much to the imagination, namely his abs and broad shoulders, and… wait. FOCUS GIRL! And besides, we had already given each other a quick rundown of our quirks.

"That, could be very useful," Kasady replied, deep in thought.

Suddenly, All Might's voice came over the intercom, "All right Team F, GET GOING!"

"Here we go," Kasady said. I hear a small sound, like a bunch of zippers opening at once before a mass of red tendrils covered his body, morphing him into his monster form. Except now, instead of a pure red body, his forearms and feet were the same navy blue as his bodysuit, while his torso was now a dark grey with his white skull/spider logo. Apparently, he had fused his skin color with that of the suit's.

He jumped unto the side on the building on the second floor. He placed one hand on a window and make a clawed finger with the other. After carving a large circle in the glass, he pulled it out smoothly and threw it aside. Three tendrils slowly came of his back, and pulled me through the window. Blushing profusely, I stood up and looked around. The corridor we were in was dimly lit and had branching pathways, almost like a maze.

Kasady was crawling on the ceiling. He glanced down at me and said, "All right, Jiro. You're up,"

"Right!" I responded. I crouched next to the wall and signaled to Kasady by putting a finger to my lips. I elongated my earlobes with my quirk and stuck them to the wall. I heard a sound like metal poles banging together.

"They're a few floors above us. A bit to the left. Momo is making something metal, perhaps armor or a barricade?"

"Seems likely. I wonder what Mineta's doing...,"

Mineta POV

OH HOH BOY! BEST TEAMMATE EVER! THAT PERFECT PHYSIQUE! AND THAT COSTUME MAKES IT EVEN BETTER! If only I had some tissues, or a spare sock, and definitely some lotion…

"Hey, Mineta. Help me with this," Yaoyorozu said. She had made several steel plates and was pulling them along the doorframe of the room we were in to create a blockade.

"Ah, yeah sure," I said as I walked up and helped her shove the last metal plate in place. And apparently not a moment too soon. I heard voices closeby, a male and a female.

"I think I hear Kasady and Jiro coming" I whispered.

"Understood," Yaoyorozu replied as she started creating several bear traps and nets.

The two of us got into position behind a couple of pillars. Lying in wait, like a couple of cougars…

Heh, cougars…

Jiro POV

After a little bit so searching, we found the room in which the villain team was hiding. Kasady held a hand back and put a finger to his lips. He then took a few steps forward, and collapsed. Or so I thought, I was about to run to catch him, but he melted into a puddle. I stopped in shock. The puddle slithered forward to the door, and suddenly, leapt up and covered the whole thing, like a giant blood splotch. After a few seconds, the puddle quietly dropped off of the door and reformed into Kasady. He crawled over to me and gestured to the side of his head. Understanding what he meant, I extended my earlobes to make it easier to hear his whispering.

"So I was able to peek under the door. They have several traps and are lying in wait,"

"But what about the door?" I asked.

"I could break it down easily. High-grade titanium isn't an issue. The problem is that I would be leaving myself open to whatever counterattack they use. It would be easier to just break down the wall from the side and… Wait a minute… I have an idea,"

Yaoyorozu POV

I was very nervous. Mineta had heard Kasady and Jiro approaching. And given how Mineta described Kasady during the practical part of the Entrance Exam, I didn't have too much confidence in our traps.

Tap...Tap...Tap…

Someone was knocking on the metal barricade! Mineta went forward to investigate, but the moment he placed his hand on the door, he started screaming and twitching. It was only then that I noticed a jolt of electricity pass from the door to Mineta's head. Damn it! Jiro must have used her earlobes to make a small electric current. But where was Kasa-

Suddenly, the right wall bursted and a morphed Kasady jumped through.

"KNOCK KNOCK!" he cackled.

Before I could react, he made a strange sign with his hands- his middle and ring fingers were touching his palms while the other fingers were extended- and small webs shot from his hands and covered my traps, preventing them from activating or just breaking them altogether. I quickly formed a pipe in my hands to fight him, but to no avail as two tendrils from his shoulders shot up and pinned me to the wall, leaving Kasady free to walk over to the paper-machie bomb.

"THE HERO TEAM HAS WON!" All Might's voiced announced. "Well done all of you. As there are no major injuries, the four of you return to the control room, where we will evaluate your performance,"

Taniko POV

"As expected of ya' eh, big bro?" I called to Kasady as he walked in.

"You betcha," he replied grinning as he gave a high-five to Kirishima.

All Might stood up. "While this may be an easy question, I declare Kasady as the best in the match. Can anyone tell me why?"

I raised my hand, "Cletus utilized his quirk and Jiro's to the fullest in both studying his opponent and in attacking. In doing so, he not only optimized the time his team needed to win, but also minimize casualties,"

"Indeed. But that's not to say that the rest of you did bad. For example, Yaoyorozu performed well with her planning for the hero team's approach with her traps. Remember kids, it's all about this kind of attack and counterattack that defines your skill in battle. Now then for the next teams… For the villains, we have team H of Tokoyami and Asui. And for the heros… we have team J of Kirishima and Hiraki! Get ready, your four!" All Might declared.

Ohhhh boy… Here we go!
