Under the intense pressure, the beat of the heart remained still for the gas to graze across the room. Only minutes off the buzzer did he not expect this scenario to play out. Still eye distance from the rest of his class, Geus barricaded himself inside a poorly build a log house. The rumbles and almost earthquake level tremors came from the rock formations outside the cabin. The city landscape was his next point of interest after this place. The one location in this arena that is suitable for his quirk.

The fact three completely unknown other students surrounded him did not help. He barely got a look at the others before he charged into this house and blocked the windows with his hardened gas. Unless this single room building had a secret entrance, he was screwed.

"Pretty cool move U.A." a voice from the outside called.

A small knock came from the outside of his gas wall. Small soft spots formed at each of the exposed windows and formed and extended out a large spike. And as expected no evidence to him that it actually did anything. The taunts continued as if the three saw no threat. At three different locations of the windows more knocks vibrated around the system.

"Thought you'd be smarter than this U.A." another voice laughed at him. "We reviewed each of your tapes and know how each of your fights and your styles."

"In other ways to say it. The 'Crushing of U.A.' is commenced!"

From the other side of the building the sound of a man sucking and building up over dramatically saliva in his mouth. A quiet spit came after, and it felt that it came from the right wall in the center.

"I don't know what any of that means." Geus growled. "But that doesn't mean I won't stop you!" Geus locked the hold around the room and built up the coverage on his suit. Usually, this wouldn't be a problem or a worry for himself. Except that any damage to his targets would get him disqualified or at the very least lose.

A near silent splat came from the same nuisance window and brought over Geus's attention with it. What he saw caused his armor to freeze. A small puddle of purple liquid splattered at the window sill and evaporated before his very eyes. "What the hell?"

Twin sets of hands jumped through the now open window and landed where the water once was. From what Geus saw of their legs, the left had on skin-tight black leggings while the other had only a pair of shorts. His eyes drifted up to their chests, the left had on a solid black skin tight compression long sleeve shirt while the other wore a short sleeve version. And their faces were identical to the roundness of their jaws, their blue eyes, and blonde hair. But the left had his hair chopped right before his chin with only an inch of length. And the other had his hair flow long to the start of his chest.

"Like I said U.A." the boy on the left struck his finger out at Geus. His face narrowed down from the determination and spread out a cocky grin. "We know everything about you. You can't win."

The face he gave reminded him of Iroh. The way his eyes bulged from the narrowness of his glare, the way his teeth poked just out from the slacked grin. He felt the power surge through him all of a sudden. The walls thickened around him and became uneven. Even his body armor form became rounded and at the same time pointed in areas.

"You sure as hell didn't read about me." Geus' eyes widened at the cocky one. All around the ceiling of gas turned soft spots then shot out flatten spikes. "You sure as hell shouldn't make that face boy!"

The boy didn't look away nor lower his finger at Geus. His body was rock solid without a quiver of fear. Geus's anger grew from it and enhanced his attack. More soft spots appeared on the rods and out came identical rods of different thicknesses. And yet the boys still didn't move.

A snap came from other boy and stole Geus's death glare. His cheeks were widened and filled to the brim with a liquid. That boy's cockiness grew with a smile on his face. His arms swung up from his side and jumped up into the air and over his twin. One leg flipped over the other and twirled his body around as saliva spat out of his mouth in a similar fashion.

His last twirl in the air was slower than the rest, slow enough for both of them to lock eyes. A small wink came out before he rolled over his brother and landed on his feet. Geus looked all around at his attack. His eyes couldn't believe it, wanted to straight out refuse it. In one dance move all his spikes were flattened out to the core.

Geus turned his attention back at the boys who both pointed at him with the grin he hated so much. "We know you're too afraid to use your gas's fullest potential against people." The first's grin became deeper and darker."

"We also knew you would isolate yourself and search for a spot away from people."

"And the fast way to that spot is right here."

"You can't win U.A."

"Enclose!" Geus heaved his gut and sucked in all the air he could. The walls around them all came to the center and trapped the three together. "Iron Maiden!" The move had to be altered a bit in this case as the spikes punctured a few inches of skin.

"Almost had us there U.A. but my brother's quirk had you first."

Geus hardly believed what his eyes saw. Within seconds his entrapment became nothing more than water and a puddle on the ground. Both of the boys he faced showed no signs of injury.

The first boy dropped to his knee and placed his hands on the puddle. He looked back up and threw his body into the air. His actions were both fast and strong. His feet landed again and his arms came over his head. A thin and round disk flew over his head and spun for Geus.

Geus felt nothing about the attack and held out his hand. It was near effortless for him to grab it and flick it right back. 'It's a trap.'. Geus looked to the side just as the water boy rushed around the side. He held his arm out and launched all five of his fingers. The boy filled up his cheeks and spat the fluid his mouth produced.

The counter was anticipated and the counter to that counter went. His wrist jolted for the side and launched a rounded spike after him. The other brother became aware of everything Geus planned. He slid under the interaction point and grabbed hold of the water. It instantly solidified in his hands. He grabbed the flat slab and hurled the slab at the new strike. Both of the forced bounced off each other and redirected to opposite directions.

Geus had these people's movements and strategy set and calculated. His other arm had a solid bolt stuck in the ground behind him. Both legs curled in the air and sucked the gas back in. "One thing you guys haven't figured out!" Geus shouted. The second brother wasn't ready with a mouth full of liquid. Geus was on him before he filled his cheeks. "I figured out how to be fast!" The stray spike from his arm pushed him over behind the first brother. Geus pulled open the centerpiece of his mask and held open his mouth. "Gotch'ya." Geus traveled right behind the first boy and sent out a direct blast from it.

The boy became trapped completely in a shell of gas. Geus extended his neck and whipped it back. The human size shell hurled in the air and back to the entrance of the building. The other brother froze, it was the first time this battle he saw fear in either of them. Their move sets became more and more obvious to him.

"What are you? Second years?" Geus asked.

"Ye-yeah."

"Pretty pathetic this happened to the first year." Geus smirked as he reached out for his mask piece. "But I guess we're the same age so it doesn't matter." Geus reached for the pouch on his side and pulled out a ball. "We going to make this easy or hard?"

His cocky smile from before didnt show in this grin. Without the twin at his side, he was downright useless. "Come on, even U.A. kids get lucky sometimes."

He sprinted forward at Geus as his cheeks filled up with his saliva. Geus shuffled back and planted his feet on the ground, cocked his arm back, and hurled the ball. Out of the three places of the targets; right leg, right shoulder blade, and neck, the aim was for the neck. In truth it was more for the head, as he ran in from behind.

The time to strike waited behind the run of the object. A small tilt of the head from the object was all he wanted. The boy angled his head just out of the ball's motion. In doing so, he opened for Geus's attack. In the same degree of motion as the boy, he mirrored his stance. Geus slammed on the brakes and skidded around the side.

Spit launched at Geus's parked location and barely made contact with his shoulder. The boy was noticeably annoyed as he realized what Geus just did. But the impact was still powerful enough to roll his shoulder. Geus used the rolling momentum and spun in a circle, narrowly dodging the shot after.

Just as his foot landed from the spin, the boy was on him. Not as he anticipated for his plan, yet still good enough. All the built up power went and sucked in his hands. He headbutted the boy's skull and forced the saliva out and on his face.

"NA!' Geus screamed out.

His hands grabbed hold of the boy's face and released all the power out of his hands. The screams didn't bother Geus, the agony he felt with these moves were gone. As far as he was concerned this was just another fight. His left hand left his face and used the other to slam him against the wall.

Geus reached for the balls in his pouch and pressed one against his leg and quickly to the neck. He needed the third to get the final kill. His hand stuck down harder and enough for him to send him straight for the floor. The boy's frontal body broke the wooden planks and pinned him into the ground. Geus hopped onto the boy's back with a knee pinned on his spine and head.

"Spare my brothers." A third voice came from the entrance. Right on time, the voice got in as his hand was only a few inches away from the third target. "In exchange for you leaving here, take only the eldest of us out."

Geus didn't look back. "Feel lucky boy." Geus placed his centerpiece back in. "Not many people have seen what's under the mask." Geus held his arm out and launched a spike out. It landed on the boy's chest and extended out around his body. Geus took the time to look back at the new voice. "Jesus Christ." He groaned at the near-naked sight of the third. Only a thick black cloud hovered over his genitals. As for the rest of him, just like Geus he was hairless. "Girls isn't so much allowed to show a lot of cleavage but you, a little gust of wind and your naked."

"Anything I wear would just phase of my body at the first sign of an attack. Clothes are." The boy placed a hand on his chin. "Bothersome."

"Okay, but... Why are you like three feet tall?"

The small pudgy man became annoyed for only a second. He returned to his normal progressive state as if nothing happened. "It's a little thing called dwarfism. It happens okay? Just free my brother and take him out, he lost."

Geus looked down at his mouthpiece and firmly closed it which severed the tiny connection. The ball he was trapped in smothered away info nothingness. The boy inside had his legs crossed and a face of embarrassment.

"You mind telling me what's going on? Shouldn't we be fighting until one of us becomes unconscious?"

"The objective is to get three taps on the other person. My brothers here can only fight in a pair, so you successively beat both of them. But I ask that you only tap one of them." He pointed down to his embarrassed brother. "Him. If you didn't hold back so much, he'd be dead."

Geus kept one arm locked with the water brother and walked over to the other two. His eyes remained fixated on the short one as he tapped the three points on the other.

"Why shouldn't I take my fair prize? After all I can take all of you out right here. And win this thing before it's even a challenge."

"Because of your friends in the town over. Their running into a trap by a few others in my school. I don't think they'll make it out of this with a win. Especially against her, but she won't see you coming."

"Why tell me this? I could end up betraying you and hurt you anyways." Geus held out his other arm and sharpened out his claws. "I trust my friends."

"Our quirks are manipulation of matter. My eliminated brother can change anything solid with just the touch of his hands. My other brother's spit changes anything into water. And me, anything that touches me turns into gas. And even I can see you don't want to use your gas on anyone." He snickered. "Pretty outstanding for a parent killer to do that."

Geus released all his gas and got up. "Fuck you." He shoved the small guy out of his way. "Just fuck you."

He looked back at the guy at the entryway. His words appeared genuine for now. The third brother either wasn't going to attack or was cunning enough to hide it. Either way Geus needed to reach his friends before it was too late. And that was if his words were held the same truth as his actions.

"I'm going to keep my word, the injuries to my brother are more important than this test." He advised.

Geus turned fully around and pulled off his mask. "Watch your words more carefully next time. When I'm pissed off enough, other people don't matter to me. Your life means nothing to me."

"I wouldn't aim to kill anyone here, any hero here can take you down on the spot. They ensure one fundamental against villains, to not kill."

Geus tsked. "Don't forget I'm not like anyone else here. I don't aim to be a hero. To me that's one fundamental that has to go. Some people aren't worth keeping alive.

"We share something in common other than quirks. Leave us alone and by the end of the day you don't have your second. I'll give you me."

"Trust, trust, trust, your words are empty if they're a lie."

"Because." The third brother vanished from sight. "I don't have to win this year."

Geus huffed and walked away. "Fuck you."
