'Okay class settle down. Today you have to fill out your career forms. But who am I kidding you're all just going to put hero on it.'

The class erupted with noise as the students cheered and showed off their quirks, except for two.

Katsuki scoffed quietly as he looked at the class around him. None of them were worthy of being heroes, they had weak quirks and they didn't work to improve themselves.

Izuku barely glanced up from the notebook on his table, too busy filling out notes about Mt Lady's debut this morning.

Izuku had filled out over the last few years. His chest had grown broader and he had chiselled abs, it was clear that he trained hard. There was clearly defined muscle corded around his left arm, his right arm still appeared skinny, giving him a slightly lopsided appearance, but under the fur you could feel the tightly wound muscle.

His shaggy green hair had darkened slightly over the years at the same time his fur lightened, the hair now matched as a dark green that could blend into darkness.

He divided his attention as his teacher handed out the forms, he continued to write his hero notes with his left hand while filling the career form with his right. It was very tricky to do but Izuku loved being able to write more notes through class, and his teacher didn't care as long as he got his work done.

The bell rang at the end of the day and Izuku and Katsuki quickly packed their belongings and left the school together. They followed the familiar path as they did everyday but just as they were travelling through the highway underpass they heard a strange slurping sound. The sewer cover next to them launched into the air crashing against the roof of the tunnel as a brown sludge poured out.

The smell of sewerage filled their nostrils as a face formed from the sludge.

'Ah perfect, my choice of meat suit. Come here little kiddies, first one gets to live', the sludge spoke from his misshapen teeth.

Katsuki always quick to a fight blasted back the sludge as it started to rush them, Izuku not to be outdone grabbed the sewer lid with his quirk and whipped his hand back and forth through the sludge, cutting through the liquid but not doing much damage.

'Kacchan they're fully liquid. Need temperature attacks or hit the eyes and teeth'.

'I know Nerd, I'm just getting warmed up'.

Katsuki quickly unleashed a barrage of small narrow shots aiming for the creatures eyes, the sludge kept shifting to avoid the attacks but was eventually hit.

'Aaagh, God dammit you shit, that's it. You're going to die and your friend is going to watch'. The creature lurched towards Katsuki, who protecting Izuku stood firm, he balled his hands into fists, making small holes between his fingers

'Plasma knuckles' he yelled, using a new super move he had been working on. By finely controlling his sweat into a controlled burn instead of an explosion he could make a constant blade of plasma. With flaming claws Katsuki rushed in carving away at the sludge as it launched tendrils towards him, the heat from the blades instantly evaporated where ever it came into contact.

Izuku hadn't been idle, as Katsuki drew the creature's attention, he proceeded to grab a shopping trolley using ultrahand he sealed the holes with whatever junk he could find before using it as a scoop to trap portions of the villian. He dunked his bucket in the river besides them, it seemed the villian lost control of the sludge when it was diluted enough.

'Stay still brat, don't you know you should do what your elders say'

'Shut up and DIEEEE' Katsuki yelled, using a flash of light from his palms to blind the villian.

Before anyone's eyes could adjust there was a louder boom and a rush of wind from a supersonic punch that scattered the villian across the wall of the tunnel.

'No need to fear Youngsters, because I AM HERE'

The boys couldn't believe their eyes as AllMight arrived and defeated the villian in a single blow.

'HA HA HA, Good work holding off the villain. I could see you were working with a plan. As I always say working out is important, but the most important muscle is the brain. Now I should give you a warning about illegal quirk use, but this was clearly in self defence. Continue to work hard and you too can be a hero.'

'Thanks AllMight' Izuku was starting to weep as Katsuki rolled his eyes at his friend's hero worship. 'Please have your autograph.' Trying to act calm Katsuki also held out his own notebook and pen for a signature.

'HA HA HA of course, I always enjoy looking after my fans' and with a quick flourish both their books had signatures in them.

'Those are quite detailed notes about me there, Good work' he remarked as he pointed to the drawing of himself within Izuku's book that took up the entirety of two pages. 'Now a hero's work is never done, I look forward to seeing you boys as future heroes. With that I'm off'

Quicker then either of the boys could follow AlMight scooped the remnants of the villian into a pair of soda bottles and leapt into the sky.

'Kacchan, did that really just happen?'

'Yes it did'

'We have Allmight's signature'

'Yes we do'

'Pinch me, I must be dreaming'

Katsuki immediately punched Izuku hard in the shoulder.

'Ow, what the hell Kacchan?'

The boys bickered as they walked their way to their training spot.

Takoba beach had changed since Izuku had gotten Rauru's arm. While rubbish was still scattered everywhere, the larger chunks, fridges, washing machines and the like were no longer around.

Izuku and Katsuki had spent much of the last 6 years here, using explosions in a residential area was never a very good idea. Here among the scrap both boys could use as much power as they wanted without causing damage.

After their physical exercise where Izuku was able to keep up and even push Katsuki when it came to cardio, they quickly squared off against each other.

'All right Nerd, same rules as always. Whoever causes an injury has to tell our parents'

No countdown was needed as both boys circled the other. They had long worked out their opponent's patterns and so knew only something new would be a surprise.

Izuku's arm had started glowing as soon as the match started, now he flung his arm toward Katsuki as he rushed him. Katsuki glanced quickly in the direction the hand was pointing and didn't see anything, using this distraction Izuku closed the distance. Stepping in and ducking under Katsuki's reactive right hook, he tried to get behind Katsuki.

Unperturbed by the manoeuvre, Katsuki simply crouched down, sinking his hands into the sand he created an explosion that filled the air with a sandy smokescreen.

Izuku immediately closed his eyes, he'd had too much sand in his eyes in past spars to want to keep them open.

Backstepping away until he could breathe clean air, he quickly scanned his surroundings, it seemed Katsuki was happy to wait in his cloud for Izuku's next move.

Checking the surrounding scrap Izuku broke into a villainous grin.

Katsuki merely waited, Izuku always came up with the craziest plans when given a second to think, they were always the most fun to fight against.

He heard the scrap pile to his 8 o'clock shift as the sand cloud began to disperse. Wasting no more time he rushed towards the sound before seeing a light rushing towards him. Before he could blink he was forced to launch himself into the air, shredding his shoes from his feet as he floated in the air.

He looked down as he saw Izuku controlling a broken down semi-trailer to fly towards him. The wheels on the trashed truck were somehow spinning with chains attached, making a whirling metal construct of violence.

'What the hell is that Nerd?'

'What's the matter Kacchan?' Izuku sang with a teasing lilt.

Directing the truck to spin in the air, becoming a blender of metal. He paused for a split second before clicking his fingers, causing the truck to spin the opposite direction.

Izuku pointed his hand to a flat piece of metal, flying it to his feet he stepped on and chased Katsuki into the air.

This was a new development he had made, he had to be careful control his panel as he could easily rip it from under his own feet.

'Hahaha, you want to try to fight me in the air? Get real Nerd' Katsuki launched himself at Izuku in a superman pose. Izuku tried to evade the punch flying towards him, but in his hurry he lost his balance and began to fall.

Katsuki didn't let up chasing Izuku towards the ground to land a punishing slam. As Izuku's back bounced off the sand, Katsuki caught the slight smirk on his face. That smirk gave him exactly enough notice to know that what was about to happen would hurt.

The spinning metal death machine that had been evaded up until now finally returned to its starting position, directly above Katsuki.

Izuku quickly used ultrahand on his shirt to pull himself out of the way, as a large bang went off right where he was before. The blast was followed by the sound of tearing metal and a heavy thump.

As the wind cleared the sand from the air Izuku saw Katsuki standing within and cratered and glassed patch of sand, his clothes were in tatters, Luckily for Izuku's mental health, preserving his modesty.

'God dammit Nerd, the Hag's gonna be so passed that I wrecked more clothes. You have to tell her it was your fault.'

'But Kacchan I thought you said I only have to tell if I caused an injury.' Izuku said through a smug grin.

'Fine, I'll just tell Auntie Inko that you tried to kill me with a semi'

'W,w,w,wait a second Kacchan I was just kidding around. There's no need to tell Mum anything.'

'Heh, don't worry Bout it Zuku. How did you end up getting the truck working?'

'Well you know how my Ultrahand is wierd?' Izuku pointed to a seperate engine that was attached to the bed of the truck with the glowing green substance that he used to attach components. 'Well it turns out that it seems to take the purpose of the item into consideration. So if I attach an engine to something with wheels, the wheels start to spin.'

'Thats complete bullshit Nerd. There's no fuel in the engine and there isn't even any connection to the drive train.'

'Yeah I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either. But that's the best explanation I've been able to come up with.'

'Look at this' Izuku walked over to a can of aerosol, he shook it and it clearly sounded empty. He picked up a snapped ruler and fuzed the items together.

He swung the item and with each swing there was a hiss as aerosol was sprayed, filling the area with the smell of bug repellent. With only a few swings the can shattered into the familiar green sparks however.

'Complete bullshit Nerd' Katsuki said as he walked to his bag to change back into his school clothes.
