"We'll show you we're the top dogs!" the kids were yelling.
"BRING IT ON, YOU BRATS!" screamed Bakugou. We'll take you on!"
"Alas," came the voice of the one on the side, "you resort to brute force to prove your superiority. Naturally, I'm unmoved."
"Sinking to their level is the height of folly!" came an unfamiliar voice from the Mic; I spotted the other boy from Shiketsu.
"Who the heckler you?!" came Mic.
"I get the impression that you have little understanding of the principles that glide us at Shiketsu high. I'm taking it upon myself to join this live commentary so as to make it fair and balanced. As you implied, Present Mic, should the trainees go all out and crush the little ones. It will only give the children a sense of shame, while if they hold back and let the children win, that would only make matters worse. The moment they abandoned peaceful dialogue, they consigned themselves to a battle that cannot be won."
"Pardon me," added the teacher. "Pardon me, but I don't think we have time for a long discussion! Because of their quirks, these children are actually stronger than some heroes! And now they're out for blood!"
A giant ball with teeth whizzed passed Bakugou's head and actually managed to damage his mask.
"How day's like my binging ball?" said the kid who'd made them. "Couldn't even dodge it, could ya? It's super strong and superheats!"
Dust came flying at me and Yoarashi.
"Dust…" I murmured.
"Assault dust!"
"They can't do anything against us! Let's get em!"
"Tongue tank!"
"Viral Cosmos!"
"Magnet missile!"
"King's ram!"
"Hula hoop!"
"KIDS THESE DAYS ARE BAD NEWS!" came Mic's words.
The ice and dust was easy, of course, to us. We had no trouble handling something like that.
"THey're coming at us hard and without hesitation," Bakugou grinned. "They got guts!"
"They seem to think they can get away with anything since we're just heroes in training," I sighed.
"License training aside," said Yoarashi, "License training aside, I really just wanna be friends with these kids!"
"Take that! Our quirks gotcha spooked, right?" said the kids.
"They think they're better than us just because they were born earlier. Let's give them a true taste of our power! Keep it up," said the sneering kid.
Some kid yelled "Here I go! Queen beam!" blowing some beam at Utsushimi - and suddenly there was a giant image of me in front of her, like a glamour. It smiled at the kid.
"Come now, let me see that pretty face of yours. It's a shame when you scrunch it up like that."
"Okaaay!" She smiled.
The vision blew away and Utsushimi said, "Sorry for the dreamy illusion! I think you just needed to hear something like that. You know, they don't let us date each other at my school. What a dry spell!"
To my shock, Bakugou started laughing uncontrollably. "That dreeeeamy version was something else! It's a good look for you! Dreamy boy!"
"Was what it said really that funny?" I said, confused. I'd never seen Bakugou laugh before. Was this the secret the whole time?
"C'mon, guys! Let's try out what we talked about earlier!"
"What are they planning!?" said the sneering kid as the Yaoarshi blew the kids into the air.
"You kids sure are awesome! But there's more to power than just running wild with it!"he told them.
"The interior's a little, shall we say, plain?" said Utsushimi, blowing out one of her illusions.
"Do it!"
And we created a giant icy playground twinkling in the beautiful illusion she'd created
"Wow!" said the teacher.
"They can do all that?"
"What what what! So pretty!" said the kids.
"I can't make complicated structures on my own, so I used all those things you kids provided as a foundation," I told them. "Your cool quirks really helped me out."
"How come Tamashiro and them get to have all the fun?!"
"Oh. Just get in line."
"This won't work if they don't think we're awesome and cool," Bakugou had told us before. "And well…if they get beat down by people they thinker looking down on them, that's only gonna rile em up."
"They remind me of me during the licensing exam," said Yoarashi. "Just out to cause trouble!"
"Yeah,"I smiled at him. "I think that we can at least help them open up."
Everyone seemed impressed. Mic said, "HWAT A GREAT WAY TO USE THEIR ABILITIES! I'M PROUD OF EM!"
"Hey, baldy! Todoroki!" Bakugou yelled at us, dragging in even the sneering kid.
"LET'S JOIN TOGETHER AND MAKE SOMETHING EVEN COOLER! HOW ABOUT AN EXPLOSION POWERED ROLLER COASTER!?" yelled Yoarashi.
"That sounds impossible," I told him.
"IT'S YOUR TURN NOW, SENSEI! GIVE THEM THE GUIDANCE THEY NEED!" mc told the teacher
Somehow, miraculously, we'd passed.
