End of the 12months
It was a long hard time for Izuku Midoriya inside the hyperbolic time chamber, each day felt like he was fighting for his life sparring against the half sayain, Gohan. The amount of times he's broken his bones in training or when he passed out from training to hard.
It was all worth it in the end.
With the use of Ki, Izuku's power without One For All would be arguably the strongest in the class, minus Gohan. And because of Ki, Izuku managed to master One for All, Full Cowl 26%. It did strain his body at times so using such a percentage, so he kept it numbed down a bit. Gohan also taught the broccoli head martial arts, which he used to create his new move set, shoot style, he used his legs mainly now but also used his fist in specific situations.
"Yo Izuku wake up" Izuku opened his eyes to see Gohan smiling over his bed. "*YAWN* What time is it Gohan?" Izuku scratched his head trying to figure out the time.
"Time to leave. Training is finished"
"Wait. Really?"
"Yep. You've improved dramatically now. Stronger than some pro heroes now, you surpassed my expectations and look at your body, you're completely ripped and much bigger, I bet All Might will be proud when he sees you" "Thanks for everything. I don't think I could of got anywhere near this without you" Izuku gave Gohan a thankful look.
"So, when we get out the time will be 9-10 am, Saturday so I propose we have today of, just chill and train near my Moms house tomorrow" Gohan said with a grip of the door handle "Yeah sure. My moms going to be in shock when she sees me" Izuku joked followed by chuckle from Gohan.
As two exited the chamber, Deku instantly knew how much lighter his body was "OH MY GOD WHY AM I SO LIGHT?" He was gobsmacked by his new found strength.
"This is an old training style passed down from the master of the Turtle Hermit School of Martial Arts to my father. We upped your weights several times, letting your body get used to each set as we went along. You were just walking around normally in 100 kilograms worth of weights, or a little over 200 pounds." Gohan explained. Izuku's jaw dropped to the floor.
"Hello there" Mr Popo crept behind Izuku, startling the new and improved U.A student. "Oh hey Mr Popo. Do you still have our old clothes?" Gohan turned around and asked the Genie. "Yes of course. I even washed them for you to" Mr Popo handed the pair a pile of their clothes.
The two boys jumped back onto Nimbus and headed towards mount Pazou.
The trip towards Mt. Paozu went rather smoothly. No complications occurred as Nimbus flew through the air, carrying Gohan and Izuku without any difficulty. The yellow cloud actually did enjoy carrying people, as it did for Goku and his family for years. But now with the black haired man gone, Nimbus now served as transportation for Gohan and sometimes Goten.
Speaking of Gohan, he was currently sitting crossed legged, a smile on his face as he felt the cool breeze of the morning wind brushing against his skin. He loved flying, but it was his trips with Nimbus that gave Gohan the chance to truly admire the scenario around him. Yup, this just felt relaxing and if Gohan was honest, he wished that he could just stay in the air all day...of course, if he did that, his mother would yell at him to come down to study. Plus there was always a chance that he might almost hit a plane passing by. Looking down, Gohan noticed a familiar dome house in the middle of a large grass area. "Izuku, we're almost there." Gohan said to the person holding onto him from behind.
"O-Okay, cool." Izuku stuttered, his eyes closed as he held onto Gohan for dear life. While Izuku was able to handle flying up before without any issues, when they started to fly forward...his courage kind of diminished and he ended up clinging to the half Saiyan with his eyes closed for the rest of the ride. Chuckling at his friend's behavior, Gohan gestured Nimbus to begin its descent. Izuku gathered the courage to open one eye, sighing in relief as he noticed that they were starting to land. Peeking over Gohan's shoulder, Izuku was able to catch sight of a small dome house near a small river, small puffs of smoke escaping the chimney. "That's your house?"
"Yup. It has been ever since my parents got married. I practically grew up in it." A nostalgic smile appeared on Gohan's face, recalling all the good memories he had when he was home, like his last birthday with his father being alive, or when his mom kicked out that jerky tutor who kept making fun of his dad. Soon, Nimbus landed just past the river, directly in front of the Son Residence. Gohan was the first to jump off the flying cloud, with Izuku following suit, though he did stumble a bit due to the flight. "Thanks for the ride Nimbus."
"Is your mom home?" Before Gohan could answer, the door to the house suddenly opened and walking out of it was a black haired woman in a yellow dress and blue pants, carrying a basket full of laundry. Despite her age, she still looked pretty.
"Gohan, you're home early. How was the training? Oh my god you've grown more than I expected" The woman said with a smile before noticing the green haired male next to her son. "Oh, you must be Gohan's friend."
"Y-Yeah, I'm Izuku Midoriya. It's nice to meet you, madam." Izuku said before bowing his head at Chi-Chi.
"You don't have to call me madam dear, you can call me Chi-Chi. Gohan's told me a lot about you." Chi-Chi said while putting the basket down.
"Hey mom, where's Goten? Is he still sleeping?" Gohan asked his mother curiously.
"I'm back, mom!" Emerging from behind the small house was none other than Gohan's little brother and the second child of Goku and Chi-Chi, Goten. On his shoulder was a massive blue fish, though he seemed to be carrying it like it was nothing.
'Holy crap, that's a big fish!' Izuku thought in shock as Goten walked next to his mother.
"Hey bro, nice catch." Gohan said with a hint of pride in his voice.
"Thanks, he was a tough one." Goten said while putting the fish on the ground before noticing the new arrival. "Who's that?"
"Hi, I'm Izuku Midoriya. Gohan's friend from UA." Izuku said while pointing at himself. It seemed like little kids were much easier to talk to than girls, especially females around his age. The youngest son of Goku tilted his head, examining Izuku head to toe before eventually smiling.
"Wow, you have a plain face." Goten said innocently.
"Plain?" Izuku asked in bewilderment. Goten then yelped as Chi-Chi walked over to him, grabbing his right ear before pulling him up in the air with a disappointed expression.
"Goten! What did I tell you about treating our guests with respect?" Chi-Chi said with a slightly angry tone.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Goten said while flailing around in pain, getting a sweatdrop from Gohan. Seemingly satisfied, Chi-Chi released her son from his punishment, allowing him to rub his sore ear.
"Now what do we say?" Chi-Chi asked with a knowing tone.
"I'm sorry for calling you plain." Goten said while bowing his head, getting a nervous chuckle from Izuku.
"No, it's fine. It's just... I've never been called plain before." Izuku admitted while rubbing the top of his head.
"You boys have fun and call you if you two want any food. Goten, can you take Izuku's backpack and put it inside?"
"Okay." Getting his innocent smile back, Goten walked up to Izuku and opened his hands.
"Oh, thank you." Removing his backpack, Izuku handed it to Goten. Nodding, Goten ran inside the house to drop it off. "We won't be far, so yell if you need anything." Gohan said before he and Izuku began to walk away from the house. All Chi-Chi did was smile as she picked up her basket.
'My baby's growing up so fast.' She thought fondly before returning to her chores.
Bakugou Household
Bakugou was not having a fun day. He had just gotten out of a shouting match with his mom (which he lost) about why he has been stuck in his room all day, strange for the usually proactive teenager. Not that she was wrong. But he had to think. He had a lot on his mind.
It was about Gohan and how much he hated him. He was recalling the fight he and the rest of the class witnessed on Friday between Nomu and Gohan. 'If that thing was supposed to kill All Might them villains are fucking retarded, it couldn't even kill a damn nerd. But still, them moves were powerful. Just how much power does that Ricebowl bastard have?'.
Katsuki realised how shitty it was in his room and decided to take a hike.
"Yo, old hag, I'm going out. I'll be back whenever"
"Take a jacket, it's cold. Annoying brat." Mitsuki Bakugo loved her son to death, but he did inherit her personality, Sadly.
Todoroki Household, later that night.
In the centre of Musutafu was the large traditional styled Japanese home of the Number Two Hero; Endeavor, though the hero rarely visited his home, it was still the home of his three children. Owls calmly chirped in the night sky and the leaves blew with the wind. Inside the home was a single Japanese bedroom. inside this bedroom was none other than Shoto Todoroki, wearing a simple black tank top with grey jogger bottoms. Rather than going to sleep like most people would at this time, Shoto was on his computer, his fingers typing on the keyboard frantically to find something that would be useful in his quest for an answer. His multi coloured eyes scanned the computer screen, trying to find anything regarding the search he had conducted.
"Plasma beam Quirks"
Though the internet did contain vast information, Shoto's search was….slow, to say the least. After searching the tenth page offered to her, he let out an irritated grunt while folding his arms together in tration. "I know I've seen that move before, but where?" Shoto said to himself. Ever since Gohan's fight in the USJ, he had been trying to find anything that even remotely related to it. The way he fought, the sheer brute strength he had possessed, those narrow serious eyes of a warrior… they were all too familiar to him, hence why he had tried everything in his power to find it. Closing his eyes to think, he began recalling how Gohan fought, the way he flew… and that strange beam he fired from his hands.
" Kame… Hame...HHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!'
"Kamehameha." Opening his eyes, Shoto began typing on the computer once again, researching the word 'Kamehameha.' Pressing enter, he was greeted with several sources and images of the same beam attack. The one that caught his attention the most was a link to a certain fight in the Worlds Martial Arts Tournament. "Goku vs… Jackie Chun at the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament?" Curious, he clicked on the link. The link brought him to a video that showcased the fight between a much younger Goku and an old man wearing a black and white chinese fighter outfit.
"Kame….Hame…..HAAAAAAAAAAA!" Cupping their hands, both Goku and Jackie Chun fired a beam of blue energy at one another. The two attacks clashed with one another, creating a large flash of light to appear. The force from the attack caused both fighters to sent flying to the edge of the arena.
"Remember this day folks: this may be the only time in your life that you will see two masters of the legendary Kamehameha Wave in the same arena!" The announcer called out as the crowd cheered.
The Icy-Hot user grunted, barring his teeth in frustration. That boy in the video...the hair...the gi...the blasts...the tail...
"Seems you're related to Son Goku, eh Gohan?" Todoroki muttered to himself, a shadow casting over his features, "That means that I have more of a reason to defeat you now..."
Musutafu City, Monday morning
Monday morning had rolled in as usual. The citizens of Musutafa were going about their day, though it didn't seem like the news was forgetting what happened. Several videos showcased the villain's arrest in front of the USJ on the large projector screens scattered everywhere. The press were obsessed to find out the identity of the 'new All Might'.
A small yawn escaped the lips of one Son Gohan, who was currently walking along the streets of Musutafa City, making sure not to run into anyone and apologizing when he did. Normally, he didn't mind being up this early, but recently he had become one of the unfortunate victims of Uraraka's Group Chat, along with Ashido, Kirishima, Tsuyu(or Tsu as she likes her friends to call her), Kaminari, Momo, Iida and Izuku. "Man, I didn't think anyone could text that fast. I can literally break the sound barrier but she can type so much faster me, strange" Gohan said to no one in particular. For the passed two hours, he kept getting notification after notification from the group(mostly from the girls, with Denki and Kirishima being added to the mix.) Sure he replied back a few times, but compared to the hundreds of responses from his friends, his felt nothing more than a paper bag in the wind. Luckily, Iida reminded everyone it was a school night, so they called it a night.
Deep in his thoughts, Gohan failed to notice the person in front of him, who was waiting for the crosswalk to turn on until he accidently bumped into them. "Ops, sorry about-huh?" Looking up, Gohan soon noticed he had bumped in Koji Koda, the most quiet student in Class 1-A. The rather odd-looking student slightly panicked as he saw Gohan. "Oh, hi Koji, how's it going?" During the first few days at U.A, Gohan had gotten to know some of his classmates, though he had a kind of hard time talking to the person in front of him. Koda simply gave Gohan a wave, no saying a single word. Yup, that's right: Koji Koda was extremely shy.
"I didn't mean to hit you, sorry." Koda moved his hands several times and though Gohan didn't exactly understand what he was saying, he could tell Koda was saying 'it's okay.' The crosswalk signaled the bystanders to walk, with Koda and Gohan joining the crowd. "So, were you able to study for the test next week?" Koda gave a simply nod as the two males kept walking in silence. Gohan didn't want to make his classmate feel uncomfortable, yet at the same time, he wanted to get to know the guy a bit. "Hey Koji, can I ask you about your Quirk?" Koda jumped a bit, looking at Gohan with somewhat regretful eyes. He did various hand motions, yet all it got was a head tilt from Gohan. 'Man, I kinda wish I could read minds like dad.'
Koda eventually pulled out a card out of his pocket and wrote down on it and showed it towards Gohan "You can use your quirk to control animals. That's awesome. You can use it in most non urban areas" Koda hid his face from the bright smile of Gohan as the two walked to class.
U.A High
"You guys saw the news, right? I can't believe we're famous. And we're still in school!" Mina shouted with a grin as she sat on his desk. Currently, the majority of Class 1.A's students were inside the classroom, either discussing with one another or catching up on their school work.
"Yeah! It was so cool that we all got some screen time." Toru said, putting a 'hand' on her chest. "But I'm sure no one noticed me."
"Well it is difficult to stand out when you're just a pair of gloves." Ojiro said with a small chuckle.
"We're all totally big deals now. Those news channels totally loved us. We're practically celebrities." Kaminari gloated while leaning back on his chair.
"Get real. The Hero Course that pumps out new Heroes was just attacked, and that's what they care about." Jiro said with a lazy wave of her hand.
"Yeah but have you seen what the press has been calling Gohan?" Uraraka added.
"Yes, he's being treated like the new All Might for defeating that monster" Tokoyami included himself in this conversation, earning attention of other class mates like Bakugou and Todoroki.
"Yeah, imagine if we didn't have Gohan to save Midoriya from that Nomu thing. Sorry bro but if it wasn't for him, I think you would be a bloody meat bag" Sero put his arm down on Midoriya who just gave a sigh.
"I know what you mean, but we were still kicking some major villain butt before then." Kirishima said with his fist clenched and a smile on his face. "I don't know about you, but that was pretty manly."
"True, but Gohan was able to hold it off on his own, even before All Might entered the USJ." Tokoyami said with his arms crossed before he narrowed his eyes. "Which begs the question: how strong IS Gohan?"
And just like that, Class 1.A's classroom grew completely silent. That's right, Gohan, one of their very own, was able to not only able to beatdown Nomu but his unimaginable speed also disintegrated that Nomu thing out of the USJ with a single beam.
"Deku, you and the others saw the first close up. Do you know what that was?" Uraraka asked the broccoli head of Class 1.A with an innocent tilt of her head.
"I...can't answer that. But it was definitely powerful." Izuku answered, a small drop of sweat running down the side of his temple. He couldn't tell them about Gohan's real power as it wasn't his secret to tell.
"Who the hell cares?" Bakugou called out while leaning back on his chair, an irritated expression plastered on his face. "If he didn't use it before, it's because he's too chicken. He's never going to the best if he keeps holding back."
"Do you guys hear that?" Mina called out, a grin grew on her face. "It sounds like someone's jealous he can't fight off two big time villains alone."
"SCREW YOU RACCOON EYES! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Bakugo said with a furious expression, his palms ready to fire the pink female.
"Look at all of you! Talking about a classmate behind their back like some kind of gossip." Iida spoke up as he stood up from his desk, a displeased expression on his face.
"You should all be ashamed of yourselves! If Gohan has an explanation for his strength and he hasn't told any of us, it's probably because it is a personal issue. As future Heroes, we must respect his privacy. Only when he feels comfortable, will he tell us about his power." The whole classroom fell silent at the scolding Tenya Iida had given them. It was true: they were talking about Gohan while he wasn't there. But they weren't trying to make up any rumors about him. It was all out of curiosity for his power. Still, it wasn't fair to talk about him behind his back.
"Wow Iida, I never knew you were good with speeches." Ochaco said with a genuinely shocked expression. She knew how much of a stickler(not a word she would use much as it was rather harsh) he was about rules, but hearing how passionate he was about defending someone's secret was admirable.
"Thank you Uraraka. As a member of the Iida Family, I must hold up to their legacy." Iida said while fixing his glasses.
Gohan was last in the classroom because he had to go and do class rep stuff (lazy writing ik). The whole class made eye contact with the rep the moment he walked in, making him sweat drop. "*Gulp* Hey guys" Gohan dashed you his seat as class was about to begin.
"Good morning Mr. Aizawa." Most of the class greeted as their teacher walked to the podium.
"We're happy to see you on your feet Mr. Aizawa. Are you feeling well?" Iida asked with his hand raised in the air.
"I'm fine. Thirteen is now out of the hospital and will be back soon." Aizawa answered as he placed his hands on the podium, narrowing his eyes at his students. "You've all survived an attack that none of the staff expected, and you fought like real Heroes. You should all feel proud of yourselves." This caused some smiles to grow of the faces of his students...but of course, Aizawa need to bring them back to reality. "Still, just because you were given an extra day of rest doesn't mean you're allowed to fall back on your studies. Also. Your fight isn't over yet"
"Fight?" The students suddenly tensed at the serious tone their teacher had given them. It looked like they were about to face a challenge even worse than the Villain Attack, and to say they were slightly underprepared would be quite an understatement. Staring at his anxious class, Aizawa opened his mouth to say the six words no one would expect.
"...The U.A Sports Festival is coming."
...
All the students stared at the Erasure Hero would deadpan expressions. "WHY WOULD SCARE US LIKE THAT?!" Most of the class called out, though Aizawa wasn't affected in the slightly. If anything, he was somewhat annoyed at the volume of their voices. It's still early on a Monday morning for Super Kame Dende's sake.
"YEAH! THE SPORTS FESTIVAL! LET'S GO KICK SOME ASS!" Kirishima yelled before Kaminari pushed his face away, "Hold on!" He told him.
"Is it really a good idea to hold the Sports Festival so soon?" Jiro asked.
"She's right. They could attack when we're all in the same place." Ojiro added.
"The administration thinks this is a good way to show that the threat was handled, and our school is safer than ever. Plus, they're adding more security this year, so even if the Villains do try another attack, we'll be ready." Aizawa said with closed eyes before he opened them, his serious expression dimmed down slightly to calm his student's nerves. "This event is a huge opportunity for all students in U.A. It's not something we can't cancel just because of a few villains."
"The fact he's saying that like it's no big deal scares me." Mineta muttered with a small gulp.
"He is right. The Sports Festival in U.A is much different than other schools." Izuku said with a hand on his chin.
"As all of you know, our Sports Festival is the most watched event in the entire world. Every since Quirks were introduced, the Olympics were scaled down in terms of scale and viewership. For anyone who cares about competition, there's only two that matter: the U.A Sports Festival and the World Martial Arts Tournament." Aizawa continued with his explanation.
"Top Heroes from around the world will be watching." Momo said before she clenched her fist. "The Sports Festival is where you're scouted for Agencies."
"She's right." Kaminari perked up. "After graduating, a lot of people work in Pro Agencies as Sidekicks."
"Sometimes, that's as far as most people go since they miss their chance. Some even stay as Eternal Sidekicks." Jiro said before glancing at Kaminari. "Actually, that's probably where you're going. You're kind of a retard" This struck a blow to Kaminari's pride.
"It's true that joining a famous Hero Agency can give you more experience and popularity. That's exactly why the Sports Festival matters." He narrowed his eyes once again. "If you ever plan on going Pro one day, then this event could open a path for you." Bakugo smirked victoriously at this. "One chance a year." Ochaco and Tenya narrowed their own eyes in determination. "Three chances in a lifetime." Sato, Krishima and Tsu smiled. "No aspiring Hero can afford to miss this event." Shoto and Momo both listened with caution. "That means no slacking off on your training, is that clear?" Gohan looked at his right hand for a moment before he smiled and clenched it.
"Yessir." Everyone said in unison, a fire ignited in their bellies.
Lunch
It was lunchtime, and before Gohan had a chance to leave, Hagakure came to him for advice. "Gohan, I'm getting nervous about the festival! I need to find out a way to get noticed!"
"Maybe you should see if you could invest in a costume that could use some kind of chameleon-like technology to appear and disappear when you need it." He had suggested.
"Man, Shoji, you're so lucky. People are bound to notice your unique Quirk." Kaminari told him. "True, but it's important for me to show them how useful it can be." He responded.
"Just wait until Gohan get's out there. On the outside, in that uniform, he looks completely normal. But then it turns out that he can take on villains leagues above the rest of us." Jiro followed. "Hehehe, guys, really, I don't need all this praise." He said, rubbing the back of his head.
As Gohan made his way to his closer friends, Uraraka emitted a deadly aura. "LETS DO OUR BEST IN THE SPORTS FESTIVAL!" "That's the spirit!" Gohan said, narrowing his eyes as he let off his own white aura.
"EVERYONE! LET'S DO OUR BEST!" she yelled, throwing her fist in the air, prompting everyone to join. A few students refused to join until she turned to them. "I SAID I WAS GONNA DO MY BEST!" The four students that didn't participate before now reluctantly raised their hands.
Lunch hall
Lunch was the usual for Gohan, Izuku and the rest of the gang, as they waited in the queue for their food, served by non other, pro hero, lunch rush.
"Haha! Gohan how are you today? I'm guessing you want the usual?" The chef asked Gohan. "For sure I do" he responded with, whilst rubbing the back of his head whilst grinning. He then received two enormous trays, with food stacked upon stack on each other, freaking out the other students in the queue.
"Wow a Sayain appetite is something else huh?" Izuku said whilst staring at Gohan's goliaths, then looked down to see only a bowl of rice and chicken on his own tray. "I know, I'm surprised lunch rush still has enough for the rest of the school. The only person who can cook this much is my mom" he replied, as they saw the rest of their group, consisting of Ochaco, Momo, Mina, Tsu, Kaminari, Kirishima and Iida, already sitting down, they hurried up to get a seat to join them.
"Hey guys" Gohan remarked. He sat down in between Iida and Kirishima whilst Izuku faced him, in between Ochaco and Mina.
Gohan began going plus ultra on his food, surprising everyone again "I'm never going to get used to that" Kaminari pointed out in a depressed tone.
"Any of you nervous for the sports festival?" Tsu asked, which got people's attention "I'm excited about it, I can't wait" Mina giggled. "I do agree with Ashido, the sports festival is an opportunity for UA students to be scouted by pro agencies. It's one more step to becoming pro heroes" Iida follows with confidence which gets Deku thinking.
"Speaking of being heroes," Midoriya said, his tone innocently curious. "Can I ask you all a question?"
"Sure, Deku," Uraraka said.
"Why do you want to be Heroes?" Midoriya shrugged. "I mean, it's kind of obvious that I was inspired by All Might, but what about the rest of you?"
Iida smiled proudly. "Well, I come from a long line of Heroes. I see it as a responsibility and a great honor to uphold that tradition!"
Yaoyorozu looked a little embarrassed. "I've been blessed with a good life, and a good Quirk. I felt that I should do all I can to give back to the world as a Hero."
"Ribbit, I really like helping people," Asui said. "And I'm pretty good at making my siblings happy, so I thought I could make other people happy too."
"Crimson Riots my favourite all time hero. He inspired me that no matter what quirk you have, if you have a chivalrous spirit you can make it" Kirishima clenched his fist and gave a big toothy grin.
Gohan slurped his noodles and began to explain his reasons "My dad. He was the greatest hero I've ever seen. Every time I saw him, I felt safe, reassured. He reminded me of All Might. So when he died, I decided to carry on his legacy by becoming a pro and protect people, like he did"
The table was silent.
"Sorry about your dad man" Kirishima said with a concerned look, "It's fine, honestly"
"You most of went through a lot" Mina followed "Yeah, but I got over it"
Gohan realised the situation he created and try diverting it by change of conversation "So, Uraraka, why did you decide to become a hero?"
Uraraka was quiet for a moment. "If I answer, can you all promise you won't make fun of me?"
Everyone unanimously promised.
"Well... for the money."
Midoriya glanced at her. "Really? I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, being a Pro Hero is still a job, but—"
"No, it's not that." Uraraka looked down at her lap. "My parents... they have a construction company, but business hasn't been very good for a while. They don't have a lot of money, so I thought I could be a Pro Hero and make their lives easier. They kept telling me that I didn't have to do it for them, but they worked so hard to get me into UA, so when I make it big, I'm gonna send them on an all-expense-paid vacation to Hawaii!"
By the time she was done, everyone had stopped to stare at her.
"What?"
"That is incredibly noble!" Iida started chopping the air in excitement. "You're sacrificing some of your own future to help your family! Truly, you are a selfless person!"
"Yeah, now I feel kinda bad," Ashido said. "I wanted to be a Hero because of all the cool stuff I could do, but I never really thought about how I would help people. I think you just inspired me, Ochako!"
"I feel the same as Mina," Kaminari Followed. "Being a Hero always sounded cool, but helping people I know never really crossed my mind. I always pictured myself helping random citizens, but actually having a connection to people I've helped... I've got some stuff to think about now."
"Ribbit, that's really sweet of you." Asui smiled. "You're doing a good thing."
Yaoyorozu just nodded, but when no one was looking, she made a note on her phone to talk to her parents about possibly hiring Uraraka's family for any construction projects in the future.
Midoriya, deliberately this time, reached out and put his hand over hers. "That is now my favorite reason why anyone became a Hero."
Uraraka beamed. "Thanks, Deku."
Ashido watched the two of them gaze into each other's eyes and smirked; she lightly elbowed Yaoyorozu, pointed with her chin in their direction, and waggled her eyebrows. For her part, Yaoyorozu just rolled her eyes at the pink skins actions, though she did think it was very sweet.
After Lunch
Hero basic training came and the class were wondering what today's lesson would consist of.
"HELLO MY YOUNG HEROES GLAD TO SEE YOU ARE ALL WELL" All Might launched himself into the classroom followed by unenthusiastic Aizawa. The class was wondering why mr Aizawa was there with him. "Today's lesson both me and All Might will be watching over your lesson today"
"AND TODAYS LESSON IS A TIME TRIAL!"
???
"A time trial?" The class was confused, why a time trial "We're doing a time trial to see if you learned anything from the USJ and where you need to improve mobility and combat wise before the sports festival" Aizawa replied blankly "OKAY NOW WITH THAT EXPLAINED LETS GET YOU IN YOUR COSTUMES AND MEET US IN TRAINING GROUND FOXTROT!" All Might followed.
"Yes sir"
Training ground Foxtrot
The class began to appear one by one in their hero costumes towards All Might and Aizawa.
Training ground F was a very narrowed area and not that many spots where someone could cover it was perfect for their time trial.
"Hey Deku did you make some adjustments to your suit?" Ochaco approached broccoli head once again inspecting his suit "Yeah I'm trying out something new. I sent in a request to the support course to change my outfit yesterday. They're really quick" He replied to her.
People began to notice the new costume Modoriya was rocking, Gohan began to inspect the costume aswell, he remembered that Izuku was now using a combo of shoot style and martial arts and saw the arm braces and leg support with iron souls. 'He's adapting quicker than I thought'
(Its his shoot style outfit from s3-4)
"HAHA LIKE THE NEW DESIGN YOUNG MIDORIYA. OKAY ONTO THE EXPLANATION. YOU BEGIN YOUR TIME TRIAL AT ZONE A AND CONTINUE YOUR WAY TO ZONE D."
"In each zone there will be different difficulty of robots from the entrance exam 1 pointers in A, 2 pointers in b, 3 pointers in c and 4 pointers in d. You haven't faced off against 4 pointers so be prepared"

"EXCELLENT WORK CLASS A. MOST IMPRESSIVE" All Might praised the class for their efforts and quite good time scores. "Next up is Gohan" Aizawa followed.
Gohan proceeded towards the trial area and everyone stayed inside the viewing room, all knowing he was probably going to smash the record. "Todoroki and Bakugou are nice guys for keeping Gohan's first place warm" Kaminari joked which severely pissed off the other two. "Whatever" Todoroki proceeded to give the electric idiot a cold glare, "FUCK YOU DUNCE FACE IDIOT. HE WONT BEAT MY SCORE!!" Bakugou screams towards Kaminari who felt mentally scared.
"OKAY YOUNG GOHAN 3 2 1 GO!" All Might announced and Gohan was off. Gohan began use the pressure from finger flicks causing the 1 pointer robots to be flown away and destroyed.
In zone B Gohan went faster than the naked eye and went through all the 2 pointer robots as they all exploded not long after, behind him.
Zone C had the 3 pointers from the exam and without second thought, Gohan ran towards the robots with two Ki balls in his hands a threw them towards the robots and all exploded on impact. Gohan ran through the smoke and destruction like the badass he was.
Zone D: The brand new 4 pointer robots began to appear. They were easily the most dangerous of all the robots and towered over them in comparison, about the size of a regular Japanese home. One of the 4 pointers arms began to morph into a heavy machine gun and began to spray all its ammo at Gohan, who caught every single one with ease. He had two handfuls of machine gun bullets and threw them back towards the robot which exploded from all the bullets on impact. The other two robots charged at Gohan which he responded to jump in the air, kick ones head off and to uppercut the other into the atmosphere.
"17.6 SECONDS, FIRST PLACE YOUNG GOHAN" All Might cheered for the son of Goku.
Everyone looked in awe at Gohan like usual, he made it look effortless. As he returned everyone again praised Gohan for his good work, at the back one student gave Gohan a nasty glare, it wasn't Bakugou but Todoroki 'Mark my words Son Gohan, at the sports festival I WILL beat you'
"Last up Midoriya" Aizawa looked down his list.
"I wonder how this play out?" Jirou said "Yeah he's got a powerful quirk but it always breaks his bones" Kirishima added "Will he even use his quirk that's the question" Iida had his hand on his chin wondering. "Using his quirk or not Deku will be last" Bakugou scoffed.
All Might and Aizawa were at the screen watching Izuku walk inside the arena. This was tense. 'Okay Young Midoriya lets see what Gohan taught you' All Might thought with nerves.
(PLAY JET SET RUN)
"START YOUNG MIDORIYA!" In that moment Izuku powered up to full cowling 20% and smashed all the 1 pointers in quick succession.
Izuku was side stepping on the walls and roundhouse kicked one 2 pointer robot but the air pressure destroyed the rest of the 2 pointers as well.
"WOAH MIDORIYA?!" The whole class gasped in complete shock whilst Gohan had a proud smile.
Next came the 3 pointers. Izuku grabbed one of them and smashed them into the ground, he began to destroy all the robots in one on one combat situations and bosses it.
Last we're the 3 huge 4 pointer robots. They all attacked Izuku at once but he began to charge his power up. "One For All. Full Cowling 26% Tokyo SMASSHHHH!!" Izuku leaped in the air and within seconds he would destroy all 3 4 pointers causing with a swift but powerful kick creating a small storm from the wind pressure.
(END MUSIC)
"29.1 SECONDS SECOND PLACE YOUNG MIDORIYA"Izuku land on both feet and began cheering in joy. "That was better than I thought"
"29 SECONDS WHAAT!" The whole class again were shocked. How can the kid who ranked bottom on the assessment tests in three days beat them all mobility and combat wise, how?
All Might was left jaw dropped so was Aizawa 'Young Midoriya when did you get so strong I'm so proud' '
'This kid! He finally learned how to control it' Aizawa began to smirk.
Deku made his awaited return to class "Hey guys I'm b-AGHHH?!? Izuku was quivering to everyone's expression towards him.
"What the Hell Deku?" Ochaco was the first go make their way towards All Mights successor.
"Midoriya are you ok?" Iida followed suite. "How are yo our bones not broken? When did you become so manly!?" Kirishima began to shake Midoriya with a worried confused face "I'm fine and can you please stop shaking me Kirishima"
"DEKU!!" An explosion was blown in the air catching everybody's attention, it was non other than angry Katsuki Bakugou "You're going to tell me everything RIGHT NOW!!! One how did your pathetic ass get a quirk. TWO How did you get into UA. THREE HOW DARE YOU THINK YOU CAN SURPASS ME!!" He began to swing for Deku with an explosion behind it.
Next thing anyone knew, Aizawa his scarf wrapped around Bakugou. "Don't Ignore me Bakugou. You have potential so don't wine about it when you lose. DONT make me say it again" he released Bakugou from his clutches and approached Izuku "Midoriya that was very impressive, I was wrong about you" Izuku's smile grew wider.
All Might's Office
"Midoriya, I can't believe it!" All Might said as he deflated. The two of them met in his office after class and took a couple of seats. "How did you manage to control One For All so quickly?! I know you trained with Gohan but this far exceeds my expectations"
"Gohan, on Friday brought me to this place that dilated time. He helped me trained my body for a year in the matter of twenty hours. And he's really amazing, and let me train with weighted clothes and everything. My body has never felt stronger, and luckily One For All seems to think so, too."
"That's... That's amazing, Midoriya. I'm really proud of your progression."
"he helped me strengthen my body even further so that I could harness and control it, but as developing it completely, like going into a Muscle Form, is all up to me." Midoriya told him, clenching his fist. "Gohan really is strong though. I've never met anyone like him. And I'm kinda excited to have a chance to test out my new strength."
"But you got that opportunity when you were in the time trial, right?"
"Actually, All Might, I wasn't at full strength when I fought there...If I used my Ki I probably done it 10 seconds faster"
"That's great news!" All Might yelled as he stood up. "With three days of intense training your body in order to brace it so it'll be strong enough to handle One For All! This progress will jumpstart the development of your Quirk, young Midoriya! You've gone from walking on the path to become the next Symbol of Peace to leaping closer to our goal!"
"Thank you, All Might. And thank you...Gohan..."
Class 1.A homeroom
"Good job today class. As a collective you're improving, remember to train for the sports festival. Class dismissed" Aizawa grabbed his sleeping bag and laid on the floor as his students began to walk out the door until...
"Hey! What is happening? Why are you all gathered around the entrance of our homeroom?" asked Tenya, with a lot of chopping. And the answer came, surprisingly, from Bakugo.
"They are here to scout the competition. Since they couldn't do it on Friday, and most don't come early enough to do it before. We did, after all, survive a villain attack." he then scowled.
"But it's useless. Out of my way you extras!"
"You can't call people extras just because you don't know who they are" Iida swung his hand intensely at Bakugou. The sea of students split to let him pass, except for one person.
"Ha! So this is the famous class 1.A? I expected a lot more from someone who survived a villain attack! Anyway, I'm not interested in you, just in the All Might wannabe who took down the monster at the USJ. It would be an honor to shake his hand." The guy who said that had blond hair and was the living embodiment of the word douche. Everyone in the class looked at Gohan, who shook his head. He did not need that, not right now.
"Why do you care?" asked Kirishima, and stood defiantly in front of the blond.
"Ah! I haven't introduced myself yet! I am Neito Monoma, from class 1.B, best heroics class! And of course, your little adventure took away the spotlight from us! But if you're soo much better, then how did the villains even snuck up on you? And Why do you have such a rude person in the class!" he pointed at Bakugo.
"Even now, he looks like a villain!"
"Erm excuse. Can I get through?." Gohan tried to leave. But Monoma was still in his way.
"Look how he runs away when the competition faces! Is that the true face of class 1.A? Bunch of weaklings and cowards?!"
"YOU WISH!" Came the response from the floating set of clothes.
"Gohan is no coward OR a weakling! He was the one who defeated the Nomu mmnghfff-" Mina tried to stop her friend from blurting too much, bit had already been too late. The whole crowd now looked upon Gohan in a new light. The looks of admiration, fear, jealousy, and in Monoma's case, greed, were being thrown his way.
"So this is the one! The 'New All Might' as they call you. Now isn't that interesting-" he tried to sling his arm around Gohan's shoulder, but before he could touch him, the full force of Gohan's Ki force hit him. He stumbled away from the teen, falling to the floor, shivering in cold sweat, panting heavily.
'What is wrong with him! He couldn't possibly know about my quirk! But that feeling just now... If I would have touched him, I would have died for sure! Damn! I need to find another way to copy his power.' Monoma wanted to speak again, but before he could, another voice resonated through the room.
"Hey, you! Which Hero class is better?" Gohan look down to Monoma.
"Well that's obviously cla-" but before he could finish, his eyes dulled and glossed over, and he just stood there.
"Good. Now walk to your class, and apologize to my friends for being a jerk." Monoma just walked away, the crowd parting in awe. At the door now stood a student who's purple hair defied gravity. He also looked as if he hasn't slept in days.
"Tell me something. Are all students in the Hero course either arrogant duchebags or rude assholes? Based on what I saw, I must say, I'm disappointed." Some of the members of class 1.A looked apologetic. Bakugo wasn't one of them.
"Those of us, who did not make it to the hero course, are stuck in other courses. There's many of us, you know?" Gohan was wondering what the kid was getting at.
"If we perform well enough on the festival, they'll consider transferring you to the Hero course. And of course, if any of you perform poorly, you might get kicked out. This a great opportunity to knock you guys down a peg or two. Consider this... A declaration of war!" Everyone in 1.A tensed up at his words. Well, almost everyone. While Bakugo was measuring the kid with his gaze.
Before the explosive blonde could speak, there was more commotion from the back of the crowd,another member of class 1.B was yelling towards Gohan "Hey you come here I want to see how strong you are" it was TetsuTetsu. That was the point Gohan had enough of the attention. He walked past the purple-haired kid, their gazes meeting for a single moment. Then he also walked past TetsuTetsu "Hey Gohan guy, you wait til the sports festival. I'm going to wipe the floor with you"he tried to grab his shoulder. But the moment his hand approached, he jumped back and activated his quirk, which by the looks of it was some kind of iron or steel coating. That started a wave of whispers, as every student now jumped away from him like he was carrying a plague. Not that Gohan was bothered at the time. "HEY IM COMING FOR YOU" TetsuTetsu shouted as he slowly coward away from the sayain.
As Gohan made his way through out of the crowd he was thinking about the sports festival and how he could capitalise on it. He felt kinda bad for competing, he was wayyyy tooo op for anyone. Not to toot his own horn, but he could solo all of UA on his own.
"Gohan? Gohan?"
"Huh?" The black haired male was brought out of his thoughts when he heard his name being called. Turning his head, Gohan noticed Momo was following his lead as she approached him, they began small talking.
"So, interesting week, huh?" Yaoyorozu commented.
"That's one way of putting it," Gohan grumbled, his spirits dropping like an anvil. "I knew all hell was going to break loose eventually, but I didn't think it would be this soon."
"Well, look on the bright side. Surely things can only get better from here," Yaoyorozu suggested.
Gohan sighed. "Here's hoping."
"The sports festival should be fun at least," Yaoyorozu declared confidently. "Personally, I can't wait for it to start."
"Yeah, I imagine it'll be quite the spectacle," Gohan said.
"You know, I have you pegged to win the whole thing," Yaoyorozu asserted, eliciting a slight grimace from the demi-Saiyan.
"I'll try not to disappoint," he said, giving her a shaky smile as they walked through the school's front doors.
"I'm sure you'll do fine. You're a level above everyone else in the class," Yaoyorozu admitted freely once they were outside. "I know I don't stand a chance of beating you, but I'm looking forward to seeing how I stack up against the other first years."
"I'm sure you'll do fine," Gohan repeated, getting a light chuckle out of the girl, which in turn caused him to smile. He liked hearing her laugh.
"Well, I see my ride," Yaoyorozu announced once they exited the school grounds. She turned to the demi-Saiyan and smiled brightly. "I'll see you next week, Son."
"Yeah, see you then," Gohan replied in kind.
He was then forced to do a double take when he saw her enter a black limousine that was parked by the road. Because of the vehicle's tinted windows, he was unable to see who was driving, or whether anyone else was inside.
When it finally drove off, Gohan shrugged, until he felt an arm warp his neck. Was he about to get abducted? Turns out it was just Kirishima, followed by Midoriya and Uraraka. "Where did you go?" The manly student asked "I-Uh Nowhere!" Gohan said with a bright flush on his cheeks.
"Well we're heading to the station, you coming?" Izuku offered. "Yeah, I will" Gohan gave a warm smile with a reply. The group then made their way to station.
