Kacchan storms up to me and grabs the ball from my hand, my skin is singed when I pull away. I shake it off and quickly back away from the circle, Kacchan pulls his arm back and screams as he lets off a huge explosion blasting the ball forward
"GO TO HELL DEKU!"
The ball sails in the air so far that we can barely see it, Aizawa holds up the display reading 792. Kacchan trembles as the class giggles, I find myself letting out a small chuckle but catch myself. I'm not here to have fun. I don't deserve to have fun,
"Deku is amazing after all!"
Ururaka bounds up to me and grins, it's a little embarrassing to have a girl this close to me. I hope my cheeks aren't too flushed. Kacchan stands trembling for a moment and than spins around to face me.
"Just watch Deku. I'll beat your sorry ass!"
He roars, a few other people throw, I hadn't quite learned their names yet, but I pay close attention to their quirks. I'll write them down later and report to the league. We need to be prepared for when we plan our attack, Uraraka steps up. The ball flashes pink as she throws it, it flies up and doesn't stop. Aizawa marks down the score as infinity, Uraraka jumps up celebrating. I smile a little, we were both upstaged. I decide to take a safe route and come 2nd or third in each event. I can avoid gaining too much attention and also avoid getting expelled. The effort was for nothing though as Aizawa reveals at the end he was lying about the expulsion.
The next day begins with a bang, we all get given out hero costumes (I'd randomly chosen one from my old notebook, not like it matters for me anyway) Aizawa holds nothing back the next day, he ploughs in with another task.
"Battle training. Groups of two will pair up and fight against each other. Two will play the villains and guard their weapon, the other two will be heroes and have to touch the weapon or disable their opponents to win. To decide teams we'll draw lots."
We take turns plunging our hand in and drawing a ball with a number printed on the side, mine reads 4. I glance around to find my partner, Uraraka grins as she holds up her matching ball.
"Looks like we're partners Deku-Kun!"
"Y-Yeah seems so…"
She definitely gets way too close, it would be bad if she got too attached to me.
"Okay first villain pair Bakugo and Iida, Hero pair, Deku and Uraraka."
I almost laugh, pitting us against each other! It's like an okay to beat the crap out of him and wipe that smile off his face. My hand sparks a little as my temper flares. I need to be careful… I should probably lose or let Uraraka win.
"Let's do this Deku!"
I nod, working diligently as part of a team is a hero essential. Even for a fake hero. We're held back as they go to hide the weapon.
"Kacchan will likely go off on his own to attack me, Iida will hide the bomb on the middle to top floor in a hard to locate room. The best strategy would be to distract Kacchan whilst Uraraka goes after Iida…"
I mutter to myself as I muse of the situation, I don't notice how many people stare.
"Deku is really into this huh…"
Kirishima mutters, I glance up and laugh embarrassed.
"It's a good plan though Deku! Let's go with it."
Uraraka smiles encouragingly. I nod, Aizawa gives the signal. We rush forward towards the building that Kacchan and Iida had head to, luckily Kacchan isn't right at the entrance like I half expected. My eyes sweep the two hallways,
"We should split up here, you go left I'll go-"
"DAMN DEKU!"
Kacchan comes blazing towards us, crashing into us. His costume has thick arm bands that look like grenades, the main costume looks like he'd just come from a military camp. Typical.
"Go!"
I shout at Uraraka and sprint of down the right corridor, Kacchan had come from the left so hopefully Iida is there too. Kacchan follows close behind me screaming the whole time
"COME BACK YOU FUCKING COWARD!"
I plant my right foot in the ground and spin, my arm spinning with me. I get a straight hit to his stomach sending him crashing into the wall, he growls as he straightened himself and immediately attacks. I smirk as he swings his right arm, he usually attacks with his right first. I dodge and than slip my arm under his, I use his momentum to throw him over my shoulder. His back crashes against the floor. He shouts out enraged, I hold my ground.
"YOUR DEAD YOU DAMN NERD! TAKE THIS!"
He lifts his hand and pulls on the pin in his grenade, I startle and dart to the side as a huge explosion goes off. Heat rushes towards me singing my hair and clothes, the shockwave sends me hurtling down the corridor. I grimace as I push myself up off the floor almost collapsing again. As expected Kacchan Is strong. Green sparks flicker over my body. But I'm stronger. Even if I don't plan to win, I sure won't lose in such a pathetic way.
"Let's go… Kacchan."
