Kyouka, Izuku, Bakugo, and Iida were now in front of the building with All Might standing at the entrance. "Bad guys, you can go on in and get set up. In 5 minutes, the good guys will be let loose and the battle will start."
Both Bakugo and Iida walked towards the entrance before being stopped by All Might.
"Young Iida. Young Bakugo. The key to being successful in this challenge is to embody villainy. Think from the perspective of an evildoer." The number one hero explained to the two boys.
"Got it." Iida simply said as he started to walk into the building.
"That won't be so hard for you, huh?" Kyouka asked as she smirked at Bakugo.
"Eh? What's that supposed to mean, Earlobes?" Bakugo asked as he glared at the girl
The purple haired girl simply crossed her arms as she raised an eyebrow. "I think you know."
"Is this really the best time for this, Kyouka?" Izuku whispered in the girl's ear as sweat dropped down his head.
"Whoa, now. You can fight when the battle officially starts. But if things go too far, I'll step in." The muscular man said, his eyes mainly focused on Bakugo.
"Fine." The ash blonde boy simply said as he glared at the two friends before walking into the building as well.
All Might then left to the monitoring room, leaving Izuku and Kyouka with the floor plans as the boy took off his respirator. "This battle is going to be tough with Kacchan and Iida involved. They both have such strong quirks, but I think I can find a way to work around that."
"What kind of ideas are you brainstorming?" Kyouka asked as she placed a hand on her hip.
"Well knowing Kacchan, he's going to immediately rush at us and he'll probably leave Iida behind with the weapon. Their personalities are pretty much total opposites so I doubt there'll be much teamwork between the two of them. We can use that to our advantage by avoiding Kacchan for the duration of the battle. Then we can attack Iida together and hopefully capture the weapon." The green haired boy explained as he looked at the floor plans.
The purple haired girl raised an eyebrow at this as she gave a confused look. "Why should we just avoid Bakugo? Surely we can both take him on, right?"
Izuku looked at his friend before giving a small nod. "It's possible that we can both take down Kacchan together, but there are a few issues with that. First, I still don't have any control over One For All and it's not like I can just go all out on him. Second, we don't know if Kacchan has any tricks up his sleeve that could prove very troublesome to us. And third, fighting him might take too much time and then we'll run out of time before we can capture the weapon from Iida. It's too risky and playing it safe is our best bet here."
'As much as I hate to admit it, he's right. Izuku could definitely take down Bakugo instantly if he hits him with a full powered punch, but he wouldn't do that because that would kill Bakugo. I guess avoiding him is our best bet...' The young girl thought to herself before nodding.
"Alright and I can track his movements with my quirk as long as we use it often." The purple haired girl said with a smile.
Izuku smiled back as he looked back at the floor plans. "That's exactly what I had in mind. We can even track where Iida is as well with your quirk as long as he's not being super quiet. He doesn't know how your quirk works and I doubt Kacchan would bother telling him anything so he has no reason to be quiet."
Kyouka then looked at the floor plans before sighing. "We'll certainly have to take our time as we track Bakugo's movements while avoiding him at the same time. But with a plan like this, I know we can win this thing."
"Thanks, but if I'm being honest then you're the one who's going to be carrying most of the weight in this match." The teen boy said as he rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.
"It's fine. I'm happy you're putting so much trust in me to carry us through this. Plus, it's not like you're dead weight or anything. You're definitely better at combat than I am so that'll be useful when we approach Iida." The purple haired girl said before holding out her fist to her hero as she widened her smile. "Let's win this thing."
"Yeah. We'll be the ones on top." Izuku said as he put his respirator back on before giving her a gentle fist bump.
"Alright! Let's begin the indoor combat training! Team A and Team D, your time starts now!" All Might announced to both teams.
Izuku and Kyouka entered through the main entrance of the building with Izuku already starting to look around. "It seems like he isn't here waiting for us for an ambush. That definitely would've made our plan an instant failure."
Kyouka nodded before walking up to a wall and plugging her earphone jack into it before pointing upwards as she listened to the sounds in the building. "It sounds like Bakugo's is on the 3rd floor so that's 2 floors above us. If your theory is correct about Iida staying with the weapon then the weapon should be on the 5th floor. That's going to be quite a walk."
"That's alright, we have 15 minutes to get to him. As long as we can avoid Kacchan until then, I'm sure we'll have at least 5 minutes left by the time we reach Iida. That's plenty of time to capture the weapon before time's up." The green haired boy said as the look of determination formed on his face. "We're going to win this."
The purple haired girl smiled at her hero as she unplugged her earphone jack from the wall. "Of course. You're Izuku Midoriya after all, you can do anything."
Izuku's face went a little red at the compliment before smiling back. "Thank you… I won't let you down."
"I know you won't." Kyouka simply said as she and Izuku continued walking through the corridors.
Bakugo was getting more and more frustrated as he ran through the corridors, still not being able to find his two opponents. 'Dammit! Where could those two be?!'
He was already on the 2nd floor and he expected to find them by now. Were they hiding or something? Neither of them had quirks that could help them with mobility so it was impossible for them to be already on the 5th floor where the weapon was at.
The ash blonde boy then stopped running and cupped his chin as he started to think. Earlobes has a quirk that seems to give her the ability to hear really well. An overall useless quirk for most situations, but it would be useful in tracking his movements. She was probably relaying his movements to Deku so they could both avoid him. Knowing that damn nerd, he would be a coward and do his best to avoid a fight.
Bakugo wasn't going to accept that. He wasn't going to just let Deku get past him like he's nothing. He started to get angrier as smoke came out of his palms. 'Does he think I'm not worth fighting? I swear I'm going to show him why he shouldn't look down on me.'
He then suddenly remembered Earlobe's sensitive hearing back at the entrance exam when Present Mic was yelling really loudly which made the boy give out an evil looking smile. "Perfect…"
Izuku and Kyouka were now on the 2nd floor and they knew that Bakugo was on the same floor as them. Luckily, Kyouka had been able to track every single of his movements so they've been able to avoid him so far. However, something was very strange at the moment.
"What the...?" Kyouka asked herself as she had her earphone jack plugged into the wall.
"What is it?" Izuku asked as he looked at her.
"I don't hear Bakugo anymore. It's as if he stopped running after us." The purple haired girl answered as she closed her eyes. "This makes no sense. This isn't like him."
The green haired boy nodded as he cupped his chin. "I agree. Kacchan wouldn't stop for any reason unless it would benefit him. Do you think he's catching on to our strategy?"
"Maybe. But that just means he's slowed down now so that gives us a chance to keep going without worrying too much about him rushing us." Kyouka said with a smile before suddenly hearing a loud explosion-like noise through the walls. "AAAHHHH!" She screamed as she unplugged her earphone jack from the wall and placed her hand over her right ear.
"Kyouka!" Izuku shouted as she looked at his friend before she kneeled onto the floor, groaning in pain.
"W-What was that…?" The purple girl asked as she took her hand off of her ear, feeling a warm liquid coming out of her ear.
The green haired boy gasped as he widened his eyes, seeing some blood trickling down her ear. "K-Kyouka, your bleeding. We should ask All Might if we can stop the fight. This seems seriou-"
"N-No… I-I can keep going even though it hurts like hell..." Kyouka said as she started to stand up, doing her best to bear the pain in her ear. "I-It's just that my right ear is going to be near useless in this battle. Plus, you've never been one to back down after being injured so why should I?"
"B-But…" Izuku started to protest before he sighed, knowing that he wouldn't be able to convince her otherwise. "Okay, but let's be more careful. We don't know when Kacchan will-"
Suddenly, Bakugo jumped out the corner in front of the two friends as his hand extended out to them. "Found you!"
Izuku immediately tackled Kyouka to the floor as an explosion was fired at them. He then started to stand back up before looking down at his friend. "Are you okay, Kyouka?"
Kyouka nodded as she lifted herself up with her elbows. "Y-Yeah, I'm alright… Izuku, what about you?"
"It's just my mask, he barely scathed me." The green haired boy answered with half of his mask destroyed from the explosion.
"Did you really think you could avoid me just by using Earlobe's stupid quirk?" Bakugo asked with an unamused look on his face. "Are you that afraid to fight me?"
"I knew you'd come at me first. I just wasn't expecting you to counter our strategy so soon." Izuku said as he looked at Bakugo. "I wanted to avoid a fight with you, but it looks like I have no choice now."
Bakugo then ran at Izuku with a wide smirk on his face as he prepared for a right hook. "I won't hurt you so bad, they'll have to stop the fight! Just close!"
Izuku ran towards Bakugo and grabbed his right arm, before flipping Bakugo over his shoulders as he slammed his old friend onto the floor. "Kacchan. You always use a big right hook to start a fight. I know because I've watched you for years."
Kyouka couldn't help but smile as she saw Bakugo get flipped by Izuku. 'That training with All Might really paid off. I know he can beat Bakugo now.'
The ash blonde boy started to sit up as he looked back at the nerd. "Huh?"
"I analyzed every amazing hero, even you. I wanted to learn everything I could about them. It was all in the notebook you burned and threw away. You can call me Deku, but I'm not the same helpless, defenseless kid anymore! You hear me?! I've changed! From now on, Deku means nothing to me!" The green haired boy shouted with his fists up and his face having an intense look to it.
Bakugo started to stand up as he got angrier as he looked at the boy's steady form with small explosions coming out of his palms. "Deku. How can you be so steady when you're facing such a strong opponent? You're acting like you can take me on when you're just an insect. That's why I hate you!"
Kyouka was still laying on the floor as she looked at Izuku's back with Bakugo right in front of him, prepared to attack again.
All three teens felt a sudden sense of déjà vu in this situation, but only one of them knew why that was the reason. It was just like that day 7 years ago. It was the day Kyouka would never forget for as long as she lived. The day Kyouka met Izuku when he saved her from Bakugo and his friends when they were all kids.
The day she fell in love with Izuku.
"Stop it, Kacchan, you're making her cry!"
"What the hell are you doing here, Deku?! Learn to mind your own business or do I have to teach you a lesson like last time?!"
"I-I won't let you bully this girl, Kacchan, and I mean it!"
"Alright, you asked for it, Deku! Don't say I didn't warn ya!"
She remembered how scared she was that day. Too scared to do or say anything. He protected her and he ended up getting beaten up for it with nothing in return. She didn't even say 'thank you' to him until they both met 4 years later.
She was such a coward.
'No more.' She thought to herself as she started to stand up.
"Shut up and defend the weapon! I've got more important things to worry about!" Bakugo shouted into his earpiece, not noticing the girl in front of him standing up.
"Izuku!" Kyouka shouted before plugging her left earphone jack into her boot. "Attack now!"
Suddenly, a soundwave was fired into Bakugo's direction which caused the boy to groan in pain as he covered his ears from the painful sound. "W-What is this?"
The soundwave ended as Izuku ran towards Bakugo with his left arm raised before Bakugo raised his right arm to fire an explosion for a counter attack. Izuku dodged this before hitting Bakugo with a hard uppercut, using his right arm.
'It worked. I made him think I was going to attack from his right.' The green haired boy thought to himself as he watched his old friend fall backwards from the uppercut.
Kyouka kept her earphone jack plugged in her boot as she prepared to fire another soundwave. "Izuku, get out of the way! I'll get him again."
The green haired boy nodded as he got out of the way before she fired another soundwave at the downed boy. "Great job, Kyouka!"
"Thanks." The purple haired girl said as she smirked at Bakugo with confidence, seeing him cover his ears again. "How does it feel being so helpless right now?"
"S-Shut up!" Bakugo shouted as he took his hands off his ears and had his hands facing his backside. "You think this can keep me down?!"
He then fired off large explosions, propelling himself forward at a high speed as he endured pain in his ears. He propelled himself towards Kyouka as he prepared to fire an explosion at her.
Kyouka gasped as she looked Bakugo and started to unplug her earphone jack from her boot as she raised her arms to take less damage from the explosion, but it seemed like she would be too late. 'This is going to hurt…'
Izuku suddenly pushed Bakugo's arm, redirecting the explosion away from Kyouka as his arm started to glow under his costume. "You're not going to hurt her again!"
"Protecting her isn't going to win you this fight, Deku!" The ash blonde boy shouted before being punched hard in the stomach, sending him flying across the corridor.
Izuku widened his eyes as he realized that he just used One For All without breaking his arm before shaking his head to get his head back in the game. "Kyouka! Go!"
The purple haired girl widened her eyes before looking at her hero. "Are you serious?! I won't leave you alone with him! We can take him together! I mean you saw how I stopped him with my soundwaves!"
"I know, but he's already starting to learn how to counter your quirk! Maybe we can take him together, but at this rate, we won't have enough time to get to Iida!" The green haired boy shouted as he kept his eyes on Bakugo, prepared to counter any attack.
Kyouka shook her head, not wanting to leave him behind with Bakugo. "I'm sure we'll have enough time! Just let me sta-"
"Dammit! Just go!" Izuku shouted again, cutting the girl off which surprised her.
The purple haired girl clenched her fists and looked down at the floor before nodding. "Fine. But please be careful."
The green haired boy smiled widely at her before giving her a thumbs up. "I will."
Kyouka then started to run off as Bakugo started to get up from the punch before putting his hand on his stomach. 'Damn. That actually hurt...'
The ash blonde boy clenched his fists before propelling himself with explosions towards Izuku as he went for a kick. "Ballsy move! Think you can take me alone?!"
Izuku blocked the kick and started to wrap capture tape around Bakugo's leg before the explosive boy fired an explosion towards him which was dodged.
The green haired boy stood there as some of the smoke started to clear. 'He kicked first this time. He's switching things up so I can't predict his moves. Does that mean he's worried?'
Bakugo prepared to propel himself using his explosions again, but Izuku suddenly started to run away. "Get back here, Deku!"
Izuku kept running as he checked his back to make sure Bakugo isn't behind him. 'I'm not gonna be able to fight him at close range now. I need some kind of plan.'
The ash blonde boy chased after him, checking every corner before stopping as he clenched his fists. "Dammit! You were tricking me for years by acting weak! Bet you've been laughing behind my back, huh?! I know your quirk can do more damage than that weak punch! Do you think you have to hold back with me! I want to see how your power compares to mine! Quirk or no, you'll never beat me, Deku!"
Izuku soon stopped running and sat by a wall as he panted, feeling safe for now. 'Good, he's completely forgotten about Kyouka. Just like I thought. If they wanted to send someone out to stop us here, it should've been Iida. He's way faster, after all. So I was right when thinking that Kacchan wouldn't work together with him. This could be beneficial to us. If we had to take those two on head to head, our chances of winning are pretty low. They've got such strong quirks. I can't go after the weapon right now or Kacchan will follow me. And if we both tried to take him down, we'd probably run out of time. So we stay split up for now. I know I can trust Kyouka. She'll find the weapon and Iida, and then I'll join her for a two on one fight. That's how we'll win. I'll just have to capture Kacchan down here. On my own. I can do it. As long as I don't get too close to his hands.'
"Stop hiding! Come out and face me, you coward!" Bakugo shouted from a distance as he kept searching for him.
'By the way. I've been meaning to tell you, Kacchan...' Izuku thought to himself as he rubbed his nose a little. 'I don't care how powerful you are. I will become the number one hero whether you like it or not.'
Kyouka was now on the 5th floor where Iida is supposed to be along with the weapon. She plugged her left earphone jack into the wall so she could pinpoint his exact location. 'Sounds like he's near the middle of the floor. I hope Izuku is faring well against Bakugo by himself.'
She started to quietly walk towards where she heard Iida. She could feel her heartbeat racing as she took every step, still feeling worried about Izuku.
'I just have to trust that he's alright. He's not dumb enough to let himself be attacked and he knows how Bakugo fights.' The purple haired girl thought to herself before finding the room Iida and the weapon are at. 'Found it. Now I have to tell Izuku the exact location. All I have to do is stay hidden and hope he comes up with some kind of plan. I doubt I could take on Iida on my own. I could probably use my soundwaves to incapacitate him for a few seconds, but with his quirk, he'll just run out of the way and it's not like these boots aim in multiple directions. Plus, I have to stand still to aim these correctly. It's not enough to get the weapon. I'll need Izuku's support up here so I could try incapacitating Iida while he gets the weapon.'
She was about to contact Izuku through her earpiece before she started to hear Iida talking. "Bakugo definitely has a villainous side. And that's exactly what we need to succeed in this mission. I need to temporarily devote myself to criminal intent. Yes. I won't fail this trial and risk bringing shame on the Iida family name. That means… I must now embrace evil to become a hero. Behold! I am the personification of villainy!"
The boy started to cackle, doing his best to sound evil as Kyouka held in a laugh to keep herself hidden. 'He's way too serious about this. I admit it's kind of hard not to laugh right now. At least this helps lift the tension a little.'
"I shall crush any do-gooder that comes to foil my evil plans! They shall know what evil is truly like once they suffer my villainous wrath! Then I will rule the world with my evil ways!" Iida shouted to himself, trying to get more into the part.
'Is he really monologuing right now?' The purple haired girl thought to herself as some sweat dropped down her head.
She then shook her head and remembered that she still had to contact Izuku before starting to whisper into her earpiece. "Izuku? How are you doing right now?"
"I'm doing fine. I've managed to get away from Kacchan, but I'm still on the 2nd floor." Izuku responded in a quiet voice, crouching down at the moment.
Kyouka sighed in relief that he managed to stay safe and escape. "That's a relief. Do you think you can make your way up here without him noticing?"
"It's unlikely, but I can still try to capture him and play it safe. By the way, have you found Iida and the weapon yet?" The green haired boy asked as he checked the corners for Bakugo.
"I did. The room they're both in is near the middle of the 5th floor. So far he hasn't spotted me so I'll have no problems up here." The purple haired girl explained as she peeked at Iida and saw that he's still monologuing. "He's too distracted by his monologuing right now."
"Right above me. We probably don't have much time left, now. We have to finish this fast or they win." Izuku said as he started to stand up. "Just stay hidden for now and I'll try to get there as soon as possible."
"I got it. But are you sure you don't want me down there?" Kyouka asked, still feeling concerned for her hero.
The green haired boy laughed a little as he shook his head. "I'm sure, Kyouka. You being there is the most important thing right now. I can capture Kacchan on my own."
"Alright, I'll stay here. Just stay safe." The purple haired girl said as she rubbed her arm.
"I will." Izuku said as he pulled out his capture tape. "We're not going to lose."
"That's right." Kyouka said with a smile before ending contact with Izuku. "I trust him."
Izuku suddenly heard something right behind himself as he turned around to see Bakugo at the other end of the corridor. "I'm all loaded up."
"What does that mean?" Izuku asked, feeling worried as he saw Bakugo raise up his gauntlet.
"Why aren't you using the full power of your fancy quirk? Don't tell me you're underestimating me, Deku. Get over here and show me what you're really made of." The ash blonde boy said as he started to smile.
The green haired boy gripped the capture tape as he faced down his old friend. 'I have no choice. I have to face him. Right now!'
"I'm not scared of you, Kacchan! We've both known that for a while!" Izuku said, standing his ground against the other boy.
Bakugo growled at this before smiling once again. "Heh. Since you're such a stalker, by now you probably know how my quirk, Explosion, works. I secrete nitroglycerin-like sweat from my hands and make it blow up. Imagine what I could do if I had a lot of it." He then pointed his gauntlet at Izuku as he revealed the pin. "That's right, these gauntlets aren't just for show. They've been storing up my sweat inside for one monster blast."
"Young Bakugo! Don't do it! You'll kill him!" All Might shouted through Bakugo's earpiece.
"He'll be fine as long as he dodges!" Bakugo shouted out before pulling the pin on his gauntlet, firing a large explosion towards Iuku.
"Crap!" Izuku panicked a little with his eyes widened at the explosion and without hesitation, he raised up his left arm as his thumb and middle finger started to glow. "Delaware Smash!"
He then flicked his fingers, sending a strong gust of wind towards the explosion before meeting with it in the middle. This caused the explosion to stop in the middle before wildly exploding in all directions.
Kyouka and Iida widened their eyes at the rumbling they felt all around them which immediately started to make the young girl panic before talking into her earpiece. "Izuku, what happened?!"
Iida was just about to contact Bakugo before hearing Kyouka's voice behind a pillar. "Jirou, is that you?"
'Shit! He spotted me.' The purple haired girl thought to herself as she tried to keep herself hidden behind the pillar.
"Come on out, hero! I know you're there! You can't outsmart a villain like me!" The blue haired boy proclaimed with a fake evil laugh.
'Is he going to be like this the whole match?' She thought to herself as she rolled her eyes.
She suddenly started to hear Izuku through her earpiece. "K-Kacchan fired a large blast…"
Kyouka gasped and started to forget about the entire match as she felt her concern for him grow. "Are you okay? Did it hit you directly? How much pain are you in right now? I'll come down there right away if you need me to."
"N-No… You have to stay there with Iida and the weapon. I think I'll be fine…" Izuku answered before ending contact with her.
Iida suddenly appeared right next to the girl with a fake evil look on his face. "I've found you, her- Jirou, you're bleeding from your ear! Do you require medical attention at the moment?!"
The purple haired girl looked at the boy and started to back up as she tried whipping him with her earphone jacks. "No, I don't need any help. Just play your stupid villain part."
He dodged the earphone jacks before standing in front of the weapon. "Well if that's what you want then I'll show you no mercy! I'll be prepared for any attack you might try!"
Internally, Iida was struggling with this a little as he looked at his friend in concern under his mask. 'I hope still pretending to be the villain when she's injured like this isn't too immoral.'
Kyouka was now in a standoff with Iida as she now stood in front of him. 'Please be okay, Izuku.'
The blast had sent both boys flying, causing them both to grunt in pain as they made contact with the walls behind them.
Bakugo took the least amount of damage with him being farther away from the blast, but it left half of his mask destroyed. "He stopped the blast… How?"
Izuku groaned a little as he had burns all around his costume, his left glove being destroyed, and his right bunny ear barely attached to his costume as it dangled down. "T-That could've done a lot more damage. Thank goodness I used a smash. But now I have two broken fingers..."
"Midoriya! Are you okay?!" All Might asked in concern through his earpiece.
"Yeah, I'm alright…" The green haired boy answered as the smoke started to clear.
"I don't know how you did that, but it's really pissing me off. But if all you can do is block my blast and break yourself with the full power of your stupid quirk then you're no match for me. You're dead, Deku." Bakugo said as he walked towards Izuku with a crazed smile on his face. "I guess I'll just have to get you with the other gauntlet once it's stored with more nitro sweat than the last one. Even if you give me everything you got, you'll never beat me."
Izuku started to feel scared as he looked at Bakugo, not knowing what to do right now.
"What's the matter? You look scared. You blocked the attack so you can still fight, can't you?" Bakugo asked as he stopped in front of the other boy. "Come and get me."
'The gauntlets make it so he can use his powers at long range. I'm not safe, even if I stay away from him. So what do I do?' The green haired boy thought to himself before talking into his earpiece.
"Come in, what's the situation." He asked his friend, wondering if she still has a chance for a sneak attack.
"I'm sorry, Izuku. I was stupid and Iida spotted me. Right now he and I are facing each other with the weapon right behind him." Kyouka answered with some sadness in her voice, feeling like she failed him.
Izuku gently bit his thumb with a troubled look on his face. 'Damn. It looks like I can't make any plans for a sneak attack. I have to come up with something else then.'
The green haired boy then smiled a little as he shook his head. "It's okay. I think I might have something else in mind, Kyouka…"
"Are you ignoring me again? I'll get your attention." Bakugo said as he prepared to attack.
"Bakugo. Use that stored up power again and I'll stop this fight. Your team will lose." All Might warned through Bakugo's earpiece as Izuku was talking through his earpiece.
"Huh?" Bakugo asked as he looked up, not happy with what he's hearing.
"To employ such a strong attack indoors is inviting the destruction of the stronghold you should be protecting. That's a poor strategy, whether you're a hero or a villain. The penalty would be a massive loss of points." The number one hero explained to the explosive boy.
Bakugo screamed with rage before propelling himself with explosions towards Izuku. "Fine then! We'll fight hand to hand!"
"Just 3 meters behind me. Got it!" Izuku said before noticing Bakugo and gasped.
'It's no good! I can't dodge this!' The green haired boy thought to himself as he looked up at Bakugo. 'I'll have to counterattack! Like this!'
He then threw a punch at Bakugo, but it was dodged by the other boy's explosions before firing an explosion at his back. "Argh!"
"Here it comes, nerd! The famous right hook you were whining about!" Bakugo shouted before slamming his gauntlet against Izuku's arm and grabbed the boy's arm right after. "Deku! Don't you ever forget what you are! You're a weakling!"
Bakugo then spun Izuku around before slamming him hard onto the floor.
Izuku grunted in pain as he bounced up from the floor and looked straight up at the ceiling. 'It looks like I have to use it now. I'm in a perfect position after all."
The green haired boy then extended his right arm towards the ceiling as his index finger started to glow. "Smash!"
He then flicked his finger, sending a strong gust of wind towards the ceiling, making a hole in the ceiling. Unfortunately, it also caused his back to be slammed back onto the floor, causing the boy to grunt in pain. 'I can't stop now. I have to try again!'
Now his middle finger started to glow as he looked at the hole right above him. "Smash!"
Izuku flicked his finger again, sending a strong gust of wind through the hole and making another hole in the ceiling 2 floors above him. 'Just one more!'
He looked up at the 2 holes he made as his ring finger started to glow. "Smas-"
"Just what do you think you're doing, Deku?!" Bakugo suddenly shouted before kicking Izuku's side right as the other boy flicked his finger, sending a strong gust of wind towards the wall, making a hole in the wall.
"D-Damn. I missed." The green haired haired boy said to himself as he started to stand up before stepping back.
The ash blonde boy started to walk towards Izuku. "Why won't you use your damn quirk against me at full power? Still think you can stop me with only a fraction of it?"
Izuku then looked down as he clenched his fists. "That's not it."
"You've been hiding your true power for years. What's the deal, Deku? Did you think you were better than me this entire time?" Bakugo asked as he just got angrier and angrier.
"That's what you think? You idiot." The green haired boy said before looking at his old friend. "You've always been stronger, Kacchan. I know that you're better than me. Can't you see? That's why I want to beat you! Because you're amazing! But I swear I will surpass you someday!"
"You're even more of an idiot than I realized." The ash blonde boy said as he smiled at Izuku. "Come at me!"
Izuku and Bakugo then began to run at each other with Izuku's right arm starting to glow, tearing off his entire sleeve.
"Both of you stop!" All Might shouted into both boys' earpieces.
"Kyouka, now!" Izuku suddenly shouted as he kept his eyes on Bakugo.
'I can't beat you. Not in a one on one fight like this. But I can win!' The green haired boy thought to himself as the glow in his arm started to fade away and now only his right thumb was left glowing.
"Smash!" Izuku shouted as he quickly raised his right hand and flicked his finger, sending a large gust of wind through both of the holes, making a hole in the 5th floor with Bakugo firing a large explosion right at Izuku.
Iida widened his eyes as he heard the floor behind him breaking. "What's going on?!"
The boy started to turn around to see the weapon start falling through a hole and he was about to activate his quirk to hopefully catch the weapon until he was suddenly hit by a soundwave.
Kyouka stood there with her earphone jack plugged into her boot as she smirked. "You're not going anywhere."
The blue haired boy put his hands on his helmet where his ears should be as he watched the weapon continue to fall through the hole. "T-The weapon!"
The smoke cleared around Izuku and he was seen with his left arm raised and being completely burnt from the explosion. "I-It worked…"
The weapon then landed a few inches away from Izuku before the boy touched it with his shaky right hand that had 4 broken fingers.
Bakugo looked up at the 3 holes as he started to shake. "This was your big plan… from the very beginning, wasn't it? You were playing me this entire time, you bastard."
"I wasn't… going to use it… Because I can't control it… My body just can't handle the backlash of my power yet..." The green haired boy said as tears started to stream down his cheeks. "This was all… that I… could think of… This is the only way… I had any chance of winning…"
Izuku then started to lose consciousness and fell to the floor as All Might started to make an announcement. "The Hero team…. WINS!"
"Your indoor combat training is over." All Might announced to both teams.
Iida sighed at All Might's announcement of his team's loss but smiled as he took off his helmet. "It's a shame we lost, but it was a well fought battle. You've done very well Jir-"
He turned to congratulate his friend before seeing that she wasn't there anymore and he was now all alone.
"Huh? Where did she go?" The blue haired boy asked himself as he looked around.
Kyouka was currently running down the stairs as fast as she could, almost tripping a few times along the way. '3rd floor. I'm almost there. Don't worry Izuku, I'm coming.'
She didn't like Izuku's plan when he told it to her just a few minutes ago. She would tell him the exact location of the weapon and where he had to go to be directly under it before making holes to cause the weapon to fall. On one hand, he wouldn't be using his entire arm and completely breaking it. But on the other hand, he would still have to break 3 of his fingers just to get the weapon to fall. Unfortunately, she had no choice but to agree with his plan since it seemed like one of their only options. But at least it resulted in them winning in the end so she couldn't complain too much.
The young girl soon made it to the 2nd floor and she gasped at the sight right in front of her.
Bakugo was standing there without saying anything and Izuku was on the ground in front of the explosive boy, unconscious.
"Izuku!" The purple haired girl shouted before running to the boy, completely ignoring Bakugo before crouching down and started to gently shake his shoulders. "H-Hey, wake up… We won, Izuku… Come on, we have to celebrate."
Kyouka felt tears running down her cheeks as she placed her hand over her mouth. 'I've never seen him in such a state before. His left arm is completely burnt and he has 6 broken fingers… Why does it seem worse than him having a broken arm…?'
She let her free hand gently caress the boy's right hand as her tears fell onto him. "P-Please wake up…"
Soon, two robots rolled into the room before taking Izuku and put him onto a stretcher before taking him away as Kyouka's hand slowly slid off of Izuku's.
"To the nurse's office."
"I know."
The purple haired girl didn't know what to do right now. The only time he's been seriously injured are the times when he does it to himself using his quirk. She felt so helpless, not able to do anything to help him. It's just like that day 7 years ago. He's beaten and on the ground while she can only watch. One other thing was also similar. It was the boy who's the reason for these injuries in the first place.
'Bakugo'
"You son of a bitch! I'll get you for this!" Kyouka yelled out before running at the now hyperventilating boy and threw a punch at his face before seeing her entire arm being suddenly caught by All Might.
"Young Jirou, please calm down. The match is over. There's no need to do anything else." All Might said, hoping to calm down the girl.
"Let go…" The purple haired girl said as she struggled to get him to release his grip before looking at him with anger in her eyes.
"Young Midoriya will be okay. And I doubt he would like to see you in such a state." The number one hero said to the girl before slowly releasing his grip on her.
Kyouka just pulled her arm away as she turned around before walking away. "Fine."
All Might then began talking to Bakugo, but she didn't bother listening as she just kept walking.
All of the students were now grouped up in the monitoring room before All Might cleared his throat. "Well, despite the results. The MVP of this exercise is young Iida!"
Iida looked completely shocked at this as he looked at the hero. "Huh?!"
"Shouldn't it be one of the heroes instead, since they're the winners?" The green haired girl asked.
"Mm! Valid question! Why didn't I choose one of those two?! Who has a guess?!" The muscular man asked as he raised his hand.
"Sir! I can tell you why." The tall girl with the ponytail said as she raised her hand. "Iida embraced this challenge. He was the only one who truly adapted to his assigned role. I'll explain. Bakugo's judgment was clouded by a personal grudge against Midoriya as you pointed out earlier, launching a large scale attack indoors was a foolish move. It could have been disastrous. Similarly, Midoriya's plan was poorly thought out, considering the amount of damage that he received. Granted, he could have done a lot more damage to himself instead of just breaking his fingers, but in the end, it only rendered him useless. He even caused the weapon to fall 3 stories just so he could capture it. If he'd treated the weapon as though it were real, he never would've risked using such an imprecise move. Not smart. As for Jirou. She could've easily captured the weapon when Iida was distracted by that blast considering he had no idea of her whereabouts at the time, but instead she acted out of emotion and gave her position away. This match could've ended a lot sooner and cleaner if she just focused on the task at hand. Iida was fully prepared for his opponent's arrival even without knowing the quirk of his opponent. He never lost sight of his mission to protect the dummy weapon even if it was foiled in the end. Technically, the hero team won, yes, but they took advantage of the fact that this was training. They didn't respect the spirit of the trial."
Almost all of the students were speechless at the long explanation and couldn't believe that this girl was able to say so much about the match.
However, a certain girl wasn't very happy with how she badmouthed both her and Izuku, calling their strategy poor as she clenched her fists. 'Fucking bitch… Who does she think she is?'
She was still feeling emotional from earlier and she didn't want to hear anyone talking badly about Izuku, especially with the damage he just endured during the training.
All Might also looked shocked at this girl's explanation as he felt speechless himself. 'This girl really has a good eye on her.'
"Yes… Well, you overlooked a few things. Young Iida could have relaxed a little a bit in the exercise, but… otherwise, you nailed it!" The number one hero said as he gave the girl a thumbs up.
"One should always start with the basics and devote themselves wholeheartedly to learning. That's the only real way to become a top hero." The black haired girl said as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Now then. Time to blow this joint. Let's move on to the next match!" All Might announced as he stood next to the 'hero' and 'villain' boxes. "Think about everything we saw and discussed as you tackle this training for yourself."
"Yes sir!"
Kyouka proceeded to watch the rest of the matches, staying silent the entire time. The only other person staying silent during the matches was Bakugo, who still seemed ashamed at his loss.
She didn't notice the fear in his eyes when a boy named Todoroki won his match almost instantly. She was too busy trying to warm herself up from him freezing the entire building.
Her right ear was feeling a little better already, but she couldn't hear very well out of that ear. She would definitely have to take a trip to Recovery Girl once all of these matches were over.
All Might had offered for her to be sent to the nurse's office right away and then come straight back, but she declined, wanting to watch the rest of these matches. She knew Izuku would want that and she wasn't going to let him down even if he's not here.
All of these matches showcased her classmates' quirks and what they can do with them. She knew Izuku would love to be here right now so he could witness all of these quirks in action and add them to his notebook. It made her sad knowing that he had to miss out on all of this.
But this made her pay very close attention and tried taking as many mental notes as possible on everyone's quirks. She would make sure to tell Izuku as much as possible even if she doesn't fully understand how some of these quirks work. It was the least she could do after all.
During these matches, the purple haired girl learned everyone's names as they were announced by All Might. It would certainly be very helpful to remember some of these for the future, but if she was being honest then she did forget a few of them.
Thankfully, the young girl started to cool down as the matches progressed, feeling less pissed off at both the girl and All Might, but her anger for Bakugo remained the same.
'You deserve anything horrible that's coming to you. I'll keep waiting for that day until it happens.'
"That's a wrap! Super work! You really stepped it up to the plate! And, we didn't have any major injuries, except for Midoriya! You should be proud! Excellent first day of training, all around!" All Might said to all of the grouped up students as he gave them a thumbs up.
"It's nice to hear some encouraging words after our homeroom class. Mr. Aizawa was kind of a buzzkill." The green haired girl who's name is Tsuyu said with a lot of other students nodding their heads in agreement.
"I'm happy to bring such staggering positivity to my alma mater! That's all for now, folks! I should go check on young Midoriya's progress! Now, watch how a pro exits! Like he's got somewhere to be!" All Might shouted and was about to start running off before hearing a familiar voice call out to him.
"Wait, All Might." Kyouka suddenly said as she raised her hand. "Can I come with you? I want to know how Izuku's doing."
The muscular man widened his eyes at the girl's request as he looked at her. 'I should've seen this coming from her, but I don't have much time left. I'll apologize to her later.'
"I'm sorry, young Jirou. But I think it's better if I go alo-" All Might then stopped himself as he saw the young girl glared at him with her earphone jacks partially raised as if warning him. "Well, bye kids! I have to go now!"
The hero then ran away as fast as he could for two reasons. To check on his successor before his time runs out and to avoid young Jirou's wrath in front of his students. 'How can that girl be so scary?! I hope she can forgive me.'
"Okay, you guys, that is a hero!" A boy known as Kaminari said as he watched the hero run.
The boy named Ojiro looked a little sad at this. "Aw, I'll never be able to run that fast."
"Super awesome." The boy who got last at the quirk apprehension test who is known as Mineta said.
Kyouka just had her arms crossed as she resisted muttering the things she would do to All Might the next time she sees him. 'He better be careful the next time I'm near him…'
Izuku started to wake up as he slowly opened his eyes, feeling the soft bed under him. The boy groaned as he looked around and saw that he's attached to an IV. He then looked at the clock and saw the current time. "It's… late afternoon?"
Half of his vision was then filled with Recovery Girl's face as she smiled at him. "Rise and shine, sonny."
Soon, he started to leave the room and widened his eyes at what he saw. To the right of the entrance, Kyouka was sleeping against the wall. 'How long was she there?'
Izuku couldn't help but give a small smile before crouching down and gently shaking the girl's shoulder. "Kyouka, wake up…"
Kyouka groaned a little as she started to wake up and rubbed her eyes. "Hm…?" She then opened her eyes and smiled widely before hugging the boy in front of her without a second thought. "You're okay!"
The green haired boy widened his eyes at the sudden hug before losing balance as he fell onto his back with her landing right on top of him. "O-Ow!"
"I-I was so worried for you… I-I've never seen you so injured before and I didn't know what to do… It was so frightening, waiting hours for you to wake up..." The young girl sobbed as she buried her face onto the boy's chest.
The young boy smiled a little as he looked at his friend. "It's alright, Kyouka. You know I'll always be fine as long as I have Recovery Girl to heal me up."
"You shouldn't always depend on her, Izuku…" Kyouka said as she lifted her head up and looked into her hero's eyes. "You have to be more careful even if there is someone who can heal up almost any injury you suffer. I'd rather not have my best friend feeling an intense amount of pain…"
Izuku gave her a small nod and smiled widely to reassure her. "I'm sorry for making you worry so much. I don't want to be a burden to you or anyone else because of my injuries."
Suddenly, Recovery Girl opened the door and widened her eyes at the position the two teens were in. "What do you two think you're doing on school grounds?!"
Somehow, the two friends didn't realize the position they were in until now before Kyouka immediately got off of Izuku with her face a bright red. "I-I'm sorry! I-I swear nothing like that was happening!"
Izuku then sat up and nodded with his face just as red. "Y-Yeah, she just surprised me and I fell backwards! Just a clumsy mistake!"
"Well, you two kids better get moving before I tell your teacher what you've been doing." The Pro Hero warned before both teens stood up and started walking away as she sighed. "I swear, teens are too excitable these days."
Now the two friends were making their way to class with both of their faces still red from what just happened. "S-Sorry for suddenly hugging you like that and making you fall… I should've been more careful due to your injuries and stuff…"
Izuku shook his head as he ruffled his hair a little. "N-No, it's fine. You didn't mean for that to happen. I also could have fixed our positions right away, but I didn't even realize how we looked. So I'm partially to blame as well."
"Why do you always have to take the blame for everything? God, you're so hopeless." Kyouka said as she laughed at the boy.
"I don't take the blame for everything. Come on, give me a break." The green haired boy said as he laughed as well.
The two friends continued to talk and laugh like they usually did when they were alone. Kyouka loved how any awkward atmosphere between them can just go away so easily.
"I missed all my afternoon classes. Mr. Aizawa's probably gonna choke me with his scarf." Izuku said with a look of fear on his face as they both saw the entrance to their class.
"I think you'll be fine. Plus, I'll be joining whatever fate you have." Kyouka said as she rubbed her arm. "I skipped all of my afternoon classes..."
The green haired boy widened his eyes before looking at his friend. "Y-You did what?! B-But why would you do something like that? I was unconscious so I didn't have a choice, but you easily could've gone to class."
"Yeah, but I didn't know when you would wake up and I didn't want you being alone. I went inside the nurse's office earlier to heal up my ear and that's when I saw you on the bed. But Recovery Girl told me I couldn't wait inside with you so waiting outside was the next best thing." The purple haired girl said as she gave him a small smile.
Izuku's face went a little red at hearing this as he rubbed the back of his neck. "T-Thanks… But please don't let my well being cause an issue to your studies. If something like this ever happens again then I'll be sure to text or call you the first thing I wake up."
"You better. And you better avoid another situation like this as well." Kyouka scolded him a little as she raised an eyebrow at him.
"I-I'll try my best I swear." The green haired boy said before they both stood in front of the entrance of their classroom. "Well, let's both hope that we somehow get off easy."
He then opened the door and was immediately greeted by a boy with red spiky hair who Kyouka remembered as Kirishima. "Hey, it's Midoriya! Good to see ya back, super! Man, I don't know what you were saying during that match. But you were all fired up, huh?"
"I can't believe you held your own against Bakugo. He's super strong!" The boy whose chair was taken by Kyouka known as Sero said as he avoided eye contact with the girl, fearing she'll try something else.
"You did a great job dodging!" The pink-skinned girl known as Mina proclaimed to the boy.
"You guys really turned up in the first match so none of us held back in our rounds either!" The muscular boy known as Sato said in a pumped up voice.
The sparkling blonde boy known as Aoyama started to talk as he looked at the other boy. "You were far from elegant, but I suppose-"
"And the dodging was like, whoa!" Mina shouted as she jumped around.
"Hey, I'm Eijiro Kirishima. We've been going over training results while you were in recovery." Kirishima said as he pointed at Sero.
"Hi. I'm Hanta Sero." Sero introduced himself with a smile.
Aoyama now tried to introduce himself. "More importantly, I'm Yuga Ao-"
He was then cut off once again by Mina as she smiled widely. "I'm Mina Ashido! And I just gotta say, your dodging was awesome!"
"Tsuyu Asui. But please call me Tsu." Tsuyu said as she popped her head in.
Sato then smiled as he gave a thumbs up. "Hey, Sato."
Kyouka smiled as she watched all this, happy that more people are acknowledging just how amazing Izuku is. But of course, there's also that part of her feeling jealous that he's getting this attention from two more girls. 'Calm down, Kyouka… Let Izuku have his moment..."
"Um. Hey guys." Izuku said as he looked at his classmates, not used to this much direct attention.
"And my name's Mineta!" Mineta shouted as he jumped right in front of Izuku.
"Where the heck did you pop out of?" Kirishima asked as he looked at the midget boy.
"U.A's Shiniest star here!" Aoyama shouted, trying to get attention from everyone.
"You might sparkle, but you sucked it up in training." Sato said to the sparkling boy.
Meanwhile, a boy known as Tokoyami sat on the desk as he sighed. "So noisy."
"Tokoyami!" Iida shouted as he marched towards the bird headed boy. "Stop using that desk as a chair! Get off of it this instant!"
"You're carrying a lot of tension." Ojiro said as he pointed at the boy in front of him.
"No one understands…" The blue haired said in a low voice as he looked down. "I cannot condone actions that disrespect these desks! Not when great men and women, our upperclassmen, once used them!"
"Also noisy." Tokoyami stated, feeling annoyed at Iida's presence.
'Iida definitely loves keeping people in check, huh?' Kyouka thought to herself as she placed her hand over her mouth and laughed a little.
The door was then opened as Kaminari and Ochako came into the room with books in hand. "So, anyway, wanna grab a bite sometime? What kind of stuff you like."
"Anything sweet." Ochako answered before seeing Izuku and went towards him. "Hey, Dekiru! Why didn't she heal your injuries?"
"Oh, well it has to do with how much stamina I'm using." Izuku explained to his friend as he started to look around the room.
"Stamina?" The brown haired girl asked as she tilted her head.
"Um, Uraraka. Where's Kacchan?" The green haired boy asked as he looked at Bakugo's empty seat.
"We tried to stop him from leaving. But he wouldn't listen. You just missed him." Ochako said as she looked at the seat as well.
Without saying anything, Izuku ran out of the classroom which surprised everyone in the class.
Kyouka was the most surprised before furrowing her eyebrows and ran out of the classroom as well.
"You guys have any idea what the heck that was about?" Sero asked as he looked at everyone else.
Kirishima shook his head with a clueless look on his face. "No clue. You think it had something to do with Bakugo?"
"It's possible. Those two were totally at each other's throats during the match." Mina said as she placed her hands on her hips.
Izuku ran through the halls as fast as he could, doing his best to catch up with Bakugo. He looked out the window to see him starting to leave the campus. 'If I keep going at this pace, I'll definitely catch up to him. I need to tell hi-'
"Izuku!" Kyouka suddenly shouted as she ran after him with a stern look on her face. "Where do you think you're going?!"
The green haired boy widened his eyes and stopped running as he turned around. "K-Kyouka? Why are you here?"
The purple haired girl caught up to him before crossing her arms. "I could ask you the same thing. Why did you run out of class like that?"
Izuku looked to the side as he fidgeted with his fingers a little. "Well, Kacchan had already left and I have to tell him th-"
"Tell him what exactly?" Kyouka asked, cutting the boy off. "You don't have anything to say to him after that battle. You beat him and he knows that. He doesn't deserve any of your time."
The green haired boy flinched a little at her cutting him off before he started to talk again. "I know what you mean, but it's very important that I-"
"Izuku, look at your arm! He did that!" The teen girl shouted as she pointed at the boy's bandaged up arm before looking down at the floor. "He even destroyed parts of your costume! He doesn't have to know anything! I don't know what exactly you want to tell him, but I can tell you that he isn't worth it…"
"Kyouka…" Izuku said before gently placing his hand on his friend's shoulder, knowing how serious she is about this.. "Okay… I won't go to Kacchan. You're right, he doesn't need to know anything…"
"I'm sorry if it seems like I'm forcing this on you…" Kyouka said before looking back up at her hero. "You know I don't want to be forcing you to do anything."
The young boy shook his head as he looked back at the window. "Don't be sorry because. Maybe I've just been too blind to see that he just can't be talked to. Huh?"
"What's wrong?" The teen girl asked before looking out the window as well.
They both saw All Might run up to Bakugo and seemed to be lecturing the boy until the explosive boy shoved off the hero before continuing to walk out of campus.
"It seems like All Might tried to handle it and Bakugo still wouldn't listen." The purple haired girl said as she sighed.
The green haired boy nodded before turning his head away from the window and looked back at her. "You're right. I guess it would've been a waste of time to talk to him… I'll go change into my school uniform now. Then we can walk home together."
Kyouka nodded as well as she twirled around her earphone jack. "Sounds good. I'll wait outside the classroom."
"See you in a bit." Izuku simply said before making his way to the locker room as Kyouka stood there, watching him leave.
'If this ever happens again I'm not leaving your side no matter what.'
A/N
Chapter 25 was done and boy it was interesting writing this chapter. My first fight scene ever and I think it could've been a lot worse. This chapter took a long time with a combination of writer's block along with too much free time on my hands. I have to say that I've been enjoying Persona 4 a lot so far and I didn't expect to love the characters and story this much. I already have over 50 hours put into this game so it's safe to say I have an addiction. Persona 4 is partially the reason that this chapter took longer to come out. I could talk so much more about how much I love this game, but I don't think I should bore you guys with that. God, I hate that I took so long to post this chapter. This chapter should've been ready days ago, but I fucked up my sleep schedule hard and would spend all my afternoons sleeping. This is the first time I haven't slept for 4+ hours during the day so I finally had the energy to complete this chapter. I've spent 5 days in writer's block and 4 days just being too tired to work on this chapter. Not a good look for me lol.
To explain how Bakugo took down Kyouka with the sound of his explosions, I took some inspiration from OVA 2 when Bakugo knocked her out by exploding the ground she had her earphone jacks plugged into. So I would think Bakugo exploding the walls nearby where Kyouka had earphone jack connected would at least make her ear bleed.
If none of you have figured it out then the main reason I put Kyouka and Izuku in the battle trials together was so I could have that moment of Kyouka being reminded of the day she met Izuku.
As you guys could see, I had Izuku discover that he could use One For All without breaking his arm, but of course it wasn't at full power since he doesn't want to actually kill Bakugo and was acting purely on instinct. I might have him do it a little more at the USJ, but I'll decide once I get to those chapters.
Honestly the hardest part to write on this chapter was how Izuku would win. I knew I wanted him to win since that's very important for Bakugo's character development, but I didn't know how and I doubted that he could just punch a hole through the building since Kyouka doesn't have any gravity powers. I had writer's block for this scene for 5 days straight and it's been killing me. I had everything planned out except for that scene. But I want to thank Ability King KK for helping me through the scene and getting me out of my writer's block.
Next chapter will cover most of episode 9 and I'm still kind of confused on how I want that chapter to go. I know what the result of the chapter is, but I just need to think of a way to get there. It'll probably be a shorter chapter as well.
Now onto the reviews!
Naoto Koizumi: Oh don't worry, the two of them will be good friends, but it will be a while before that happens. I love giving characters that have pretty much no role at least a tiny role in some scenes. I plan to do that with other heroes as well in the future(I will give my boy Crust a whole chapter one of these days). I feel like that talk about the other girl's costume won't come for a long time, but it'll be good when it does come. She will be friends with the other girls for sure, but it will be a little hesitant at first. I hope I didn't disappoint with their teamwork and provided something kind of decent.
Sindas: Yeah of course, Bakugo will be redeemed and be developed as the story goes on. I will guarantee that this fic will go on a long time after she confesses. Yes Ochako will get a crush on Izuku and that will certainly add some tension. I hope you're satisfied with these answers and thank you for enjoying this fic.
Ability King KK: First off, I want to thank you again for helping me out. This chapter would've taken like a week longer without your help. I'm not exactly sure what my plans are for Momo, but I do know that the dynamic between her, Kyouka, and Izuku will be a fun one.
25NaMi: I've thought about giving them one, but so far I can't come up with anything. I'm sure I can figure out something once she gets those amps on her hands.
Chuck Winanaki: I hope I didn't disappoint you and you don't mind how I handled the fight. I still think I could've done 10x better, but I'm just not good at writing fight scenes. I hope I can do better in the future though.
Tonsufun94: Too bad this isn't a yandere story or she would kill a bitch lol.
Xerzo LotCN: I'm glad that parts of this chapter were actually funny for you. The USJ arc will be a little tricky, but I hope I can get through it fine. I don't have any specific Mineta scenes planned except for one so far.
Dragon Storm: I was going to make them work together the whole time, but I figured Izuku would make her leave him alone because he wouldn't want to lose the match and isn't too interested in beating Bakugo in a fight. I'm still 50/50 on the matter, but mountain does sound easier for me.
shadowwriter01: I plan to have a lot more scenes with those 3 in the future and I hope they turn out well.
megaultrachicken157: There will be a lot more slice of life stuff and it'll only increase when the dorms come. I am doing the two movies, but I have to actually watch them first before I do them lol. Never think you're annoyingly me with reviews. The longer the review, the better. I always enjoy reading reviews no matter how good or bad.
DesertBrat: There will be times where Kyouka will have to use all of her willpower not to snap at Ochako and those scenes will be fun to write.
BritishChap: I hope I don't disappoint and keep it interesting for you in the future.
pnew106s: Shh lets not discuss the legality of all this stalking lol. I know when I'll do it, but I won't reveal it yet.
Russian Girl epta: Я рад, что сделал то, что вы хотите, и мне интересно, что еще вы хотите для этой истории.
Unkoweeb: I'm excited as well. I love writing this story so much.
DarkestLight234: Yeah it's creepy, but at least she isn't a murderer… or is she? Dun dun dun!
Well that's it for reviews!
That's the end of this chapter! Please feel free to leave a review!
