Class 1-A - UA
The next day, Katara went to UA to go on her first official day in her classroom.
She kind of feared what today would bring since Toshinori said that everyone in the faculty of UA will know where she was from now...she really didn't know how they will act. As she walked inside the building, she seemed to notice that the students haven't really been paying attention to her, which was somewhat of a good sign. However, they could be avoiding her...
No. Don't be paranoid. The school wouldn't inform the rest of the students about where I came from...that would be unprofessional, right?
As she stomped that troubling thought in her mind, she walked over to her classroom, where she and just about everyone was either standing or in their seats.
"Oh hey, Katara!" Ochako called out to her. She went over to where her friend stood, "Wow! Second day at UA! I wonder what's gonna wait for us!"
Katara smiled, "Don't know, but we can only wait and see! How was your day after school?"
"Ah, just normal. Done some homework, watched a romcom, and ate dinner at my apartment. You know, just basically nothing."
"Oh, okay. Have you talked to your parents at all?" Katata wondered.
"Oh! Yeah! Haha! Sorry, forgot about that! I mean, yeah, I talked to them a little bit...maybe a lot until I went to bed..." Ochako sighed, "I really miss them sometimes..."
Katara frowned in sympathy, "It must be hard to live in an apartment all by yourself."
"Aww, it's not that hard. My parents basically have enough money to support me and my needs, so basically, the money is something from my parents, hence, I'm not...well, lonely...? ...Sorry, that's kind of complicated," Ochako said in a mumble, feeling embarrassed.
"Oh, no, you're fine, Ochako! I get what you're saying though! Your parents give you money out of love and support for your dream of becoming a Hero!" Katara explained.
Ochako looked at Katara with a smile and nodded, "Yeah! It just feels like the money they give to me is...well, them, I guess, 'cause they want what's best for me! So I'm never alone! ...Man, I sound like those American cartoon characters that love money. I hope I don't sound like that!" she felt a little awkward as she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
"Oh. Well, no, I get what you're saying, really, 'Chako!" Katara reassured her.
Ochako smiled at her friend, "Thanks. I hope I don't sound like a ditz when I say this stuff."
"Hey, you don't. Don't worry. Although, we could hang out every once in a while. Maybe even invite Mina and Tsu."
"Oh! Hey, you're right! That would be fun! Maybe we can make even more friends today, like Tooru, Kyoka, and Momo!"
"Yeah, that would be great!" Katara said with a nod and a smile.
"Morning, ladies!" Iida came up to them, while behind him were Midoriya, Tsuyu, and Mina.
"Oh, hey guys!" Katara greeted them.
"Hey!" Ochako waved to them with a smile.
"H-Hey!" Midoriya greeted them back with a smile back at them, "Man, homework on the first day of school yesterday, huh?"
"It would appear so. Although it appeared to just be a practice homework assignment on what to do as a Hero." Iida relayed as he stood there rigidly,
"Yeah, well, I'll tell ya one thing, question 5 was a real doozy!" Mina commented.
"You too?" Katara asked.
"Oh yeah! I just hope I got the right answer!" Mina said as she looked sheepish and rubbed the back of her head.
"Really?" Midoriya asked, "I thought it was kind of easy."
"*ribbit* Well, that must mean you're incredibly heroic and know what's what then, Midoriya," complimented Tsuyu.
"Huh!? Wha-Wha-wait-I-I-I mean-" Midoriya started to stutter up a storm.
"I agree with Tsu," Katara said with a smile directed at him, "You seem to have gotten your priorities straight, Midoriya."
"Oh, u-uh, w-well, I-I mean, I-well, I was just-"
"Outta my way, ya damn nerd," said the aggravated voice of Bakugou.
Midoriya yelped as he got out of the explosive boy's way. The blonde was walking in with a hunched-over posture as he carried his book bag. He looked rather annoyed this morning.
Katara glared at the boy. Glancing at Midoriya, she sees that he looked a little...bothered...
Oh no...okay, maybe I should cheer him up and encourage him. I mean, the guy needs it! ...Although, what is his and that Bakugou jerk's relationship?
Almost as if she heard that last thought, Mina asked Midoriya, "Hey, Midori, why did Bakugou attack you yesterday?"
Midoriya jolted up, "U-Uh, well, w-w-we-"
"Okay, class, settle down," said the droned-out voice of Eraserhead as he entered the classroom.
Katara froze.
Well, I might have to ask him about that later. But right now...
She glanced at her teacher. He gave her a glance...it was short, but it seemed to get the point across that he knew.
...Hoo boy. Tui and La, please let only the staff know and not the whole school. I can't bear to have any more awkward talks and questions aimed at me.
Aizawa then went to his desk, "Everyone, take a seat."
Katara and the rest of the kids took their seats.
From that point on, everything went...smoothly...
Throughout the morning, everything went by just like any other normal school day thus far. They had their classes in Math and English(Katara tries to understand what this one had to entail for her future here), and after that, they got lunch...
However, when Aizawa was now in control of homeroom, and when Katara was about to go to the cafeteria, Aizawa stopped her by saying, "Miss Yagi."
Katara froze...and turned around to view him, "Um, yes, Aizawa-sensei?"
"...I want to speak to you for just a moment before you go to the cafeteria," Aizawa told her.
"...Okay," Katara nodded. She turned around to see that her friends were waiting for her, but wondered what their teacher wanted with her. She then told them, "Hey, don't worry. I'll catch up."
"Um...alright then, Katara," Midoriya said.
"Wait! She's not in trouble, is she!?" Iida asked their teacher. "If anything, place the blame on me!"
...Tsuyu, Mina, Ochako, and Midoriya sweatdropped. Katara and Aizawa blinked.
"...No. She's not in trouble. I just want to talk to her for a second about her homework," Aizawa told Iida.
"...Oh, uh...yes! Right! ...Okay then!" Iida said as he stood there...a little embarrassed...
Katara just smiled and told them, "Really, I'll be with you guys, okay?"
"Well...okay..." Ochako said with a worried expression.
Tsuyu then said, "We'll save a seat for you!"
"Thanks!" Katara said with a smile and a nod.
As they left the classroom, with Mina in the distance saying to Iida, "Man, you got it bad, boi!", Katara turned to Aizawa and said, "Uh...okay, sooo...what's the problem, sensei?"
"...So you're from another world, huh?" Aizawa asked, getting right down to it.
"...Um..."
Wow, straightforward, huh?
"You might as well come clean with it. Your uncle basically told me and the principal everything."
"...Yeah, he told me that," Katara said, a little sheepish.
"Hm...well, while I don't know much about world traveling, I do know that you're a student here. So basically, while this is all out of my realm, I will treat you as such."
Katara looked at Aizawa in surprise, "You mean, you're not like...dumbfounded or anything?"
"I've already passed that reaction. Again, this is all out of my realm, but at the end of the day, you're my student, and everyone else and I will surely keep all of this a secret from your classmates and from the students at the academy."
"...Oh...okay, so...I'm still going to be treated like a student here and such?" Katara asked.
"Yep. Which means I will grade your papers fairly and not give you special treatment."
"Oh...well, that's good."
"Hm...I do want to ask though before I let you go...your...power is to control water, right?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Hm...you controlled Bakugou's blood, did you?"
"...Yeah...I did."
"...I would usually say to let the staff members take action, me being part of the staff, but I'll let that moment slide."
Katara looked at him in confusion, "What? Wait, you're actually giving me a pass? I thought you weren't going to treat me differently than the other students?"
"I'm not, after this. But, that Bakugou kid that I've learned yesterday and a little bit from today, has quite a temper. If he does anything to attack his classmates again, he will be reprimanded. I apparently didn't know what I was getting myself into with that kid, but he seems a little pompous with his Quirk. So, in other words, you did the right thing in containing Bakugou from attacking one of your classmates, Midoriya."
"Oh...uh, thanks," Katara gave out a small smile.
Aizawa nodded, "Hm. Well, I kept you long enough. Go get some lunch."
"Sure thing!" Katara nodded also and turned around to leave the classroom.
Aizawa just watched her go as he thought...
Well, this year at UA is gonna be a pain...I guess I have my work cut out for me.
A Little While After Lunch
As soon as everyone got back to their homeroom, they all chatted amongst themselves while they waited for the next class to start.
Everyone remained oblivious as to what was waiting for them...all except for two teenagers.
Midoriya looked on at the clock, as he tried to hide his excitement, ready for what was about to come.
Katara also looked on at the clock, waiting for when the next class will start. She looked a little nervous, but excited at the same time.
And then, when the short hand and long hand of the clock came together to touch the hour-
"I AM HERE! GOING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" exclaimed the loud booming voice of...
"ALL MIGHT!?" the students all exclaimed in shock.
Midoriya smiled big as he saw his idol coming through the door...like a normal person!
Katara also smiled and tried to contain a snicker.
"Whoa! It's really him!"
"It's All Might!"
"Wow! All Might is going to teach us!?"
"That's his Silver Age costume! Awesome!"
"Wow, he's drawn so differently than the rest of us. Gives me goosebumps..."
"Good afternoon, students!" All Might came in, boldly marching into the classroom, "Today we are about to start our Hero Basic Training class! The class that'll put you through all sorts of special training to mold you into fine Heroes! So no time to dally! As of this moment, today's activity is...BATTLE TRAINING!" he announced in grandeur as he show a card in his hand that says "BATTLE".
"Battle training!?" the students all exclaimed again.
"That's right! And for that, you will all need these!" All Might told them.
Then, the left side of the classroom wall shot out four tall compartments that each contained five square suitcase-looking apparatuses with numbers on them that were stacked on top of each other.
Katara looked at the spectacle in slight awe, as well as the other students.
"In accordance with the 'Quirk Registry' and the special requests forms you filled out before being admitted..." All Might said, letting the sentence die out to let them get the picture.
"OUR COSTUMES!" half of the students yelled out in cheer.
"Yes! You get to wear your costumes for this class!" All Might informed them.
Costumes? Katara thought in surprise. Oh! That's right! Toshi said I can describe my costume for my Hero outfit after I was accepted! Wow, does that mean I'm going to wear it now?
"Get your designated costumes out of the racks, students! After you change in the lockers, come out in ranking order to Ground Beta! Looking good is very important ladies and gentlemen! Now, look alive, everyone! Because from this point onward, you will now soon become HEROES!"
Okay! I hope I look alright! Katara thought as she ran forward to this Ground Beta.
As soon as she got out, she sees her classmates' costumes, each one of them different in their own way. Some were pretty creative, while some flashy. Others though, were...a little questionable, especially in the girls' department.
...Wow. Okay, and here I thought mine was...revealing...
The girls' outfits, such as Ochako's, Tsuyu's, Mina's, and Momo's(especially hers) were almost a little provocative...but if they ask those specific designs, then who is she to judge?
Although I think I heard from Toshi that the support team would also modify our suits at their own discretion...
...Katara looked at her own costume.
She was basically wearing her Painted Lady attire as her Hero attire. She decided to choose this design for her costume because she felt like it was suitable enough to be a Hero costume. That and she did help a town from water poisoning. That was a Heroic thing she did back on her homeworld.
Although, her costume was showing a little bit more...legs...and it was tight from the back where her posterior is...
...I'm...not gonna think about this anymore.
So with that, Katara joined her classmates.
She came up to Ochako, who was wearing a skintight outfit and holding a helmet with a visor.
"Oh wow, Katara!" Ochako exclaimed in awe, "That's your costume!? It looks so cool!"
"Wow, girl, you lookin' pretty badass!" Mina said as she and Tsuyu came up to them.
"Yeah. Makes you look mature-looking. *ribbit*" Tsuyu complimented.
Katara smiled as she blushed, "Aww, it's just something simple."
"Still, you look so mysterious, like you're an Underground Hero! Maybe even almost like a Vigilante!" Ochako commented.
"Whoa, careful on that talk, 'Chako. Vigilantism is considered to be frowned upon. *ribbit*" Tsuyu told her.
"Indeed!" said a voice suddenly coming up to them. It was none other than Iida in his Hero suit. "Vigilantes don't allow themselves to follow the rules and procedures, giving out their own form of justice. And while I do see where some are coming from, as most of these Vigilantes are Quirkless, and which I have to admire their ambition to become actual Heroes themselves, they are still only getting themselves in danger! You have to be a licensed Hero with a Quirk to do that!"
Katara frowned at that, "Well...I think some Quirkless people can get by."
"Huh?" Iida looked at Katara.
"I mean, yeah, sure, not being a licensed Hero is illegal, but anyone who wants to be a Hero and help people out can still be that. Even if they don't have a Quirk they can use, I bet they could do extraordinary things to help people out, whether it be saving people or helping them by doing the smallest things for them every day!" Katara informed.
Iida, Ochako, Tsuyu, and Mina looked at Katara with stunned blinking eyes.
"Um...I'm not discounting the Quirkless, Katara," Iida said, "I was just...well...I mean, I was just saying the facts about earning a license and having a Quirk to be a Hero."
"Well, yeah, but who says a Quirkless person can't be a Hero?" she challenged him.
"Uh...w-well, I..." Iida lowered his head to look at the ground, probably looking a little shamefaced behind his helmet.
"Whoa, Katara, Iida didn't mean anything like that," Mina said to her.
"Yeah. *ribbit* I mean, I agree with that, but, we can't just change the laws and let everyone try to be a Hero for the heck of it," Tsuyu says.
Katara realized that she had said a little too much, and now felt a little ashamed for getting onto Iida like that. "Oh. Well, I mean..." she sighed, "Iida, I'm sorry. I wasn't mad at you, I was only trying to stand up to people who would only want to do some good, even without a Quirk."
"No, I'm sorry, Katara. You're right," Iida said, feeling regrettable, "Perhaps I was a little harsh on those who want to be a Hero even without a Quirk. In fact...I always did admire the Quirkless."
"Huh? Really?" Katara asked in surprise.
"Yes. The Quirkless are a mirror of what people once were before Quirks. The thing is, those without Quirks don't have to have anything hinder them. Whether it be some part of their body that has an appendage or a growth, or if they have something that could handicap them, the Quirkless, I feel like, can just go on with their life. People with Quirks don't always have it easy...in fact, I would just love to be normal sometimes."
Now the girls looked at Iida with blinking eyes.
"Really?" Ochako asked.
"Why yes. I mean...it would be a nice change of pace. It would be a lot different, I can tell you that much. I can try to actually run normally instead of using my jet-engined legs to do so. Like, I can really have the challenge to actually race someone at my old school and try to do my best," Iida explained, "I always win the track team back at Somei Private Academy, and most of the time, they would get annoyed...I didn't really make many friends there either..."
Katara now felt a little bad for even assuming Iida wrongly, and said, "Uh, hey, Iida, r-really, I'm...I'm sorry. I mean, I didn't really mean to make you feel all awkward."
"Oh no, don't be sorry, Katara," Iida said, "I mean, I like my engine legs, but...well, you know, it's a 'what if' scenario. And I...I like to think I already have friends," he said with an unseen smile behind his helmet. "Thank you all for that."
The waterbender and the other girls gave him a kind smile, as they all nodded.
Iida hummed and nodded, "But either way, we are here to train ourselves to be Heroes! And I will do so in the Igenium name!"
Katara giggled, "Well, you look really dashing in your Hero costume there yourself, Iida."
"...O-Oh!?" Iida froze as he felt his face getting hot under the helmet, "W-Well, thank you, Katara! I-uh-I think your...y-your costume is quite ideal! I-I mean, it's great! I-I mean, it's fantastic! No, I mean, it's fetching! I mean NO! NO! I mean, it-it's REALLY GOOD! I-I MEAN, I'M GOING TO SHUT UP NOW!" And with that, Iida turned around and hid his shameful expression.
...The girls just looked at Iida's back with deadpan expressions.
Mina leaned over to Tsuyu and whispered, "Not very slick, is he?"
"My Quirk is Frog, so yes, definitely not slick. *ribbit*" Tsuyu nodded.
"Uh...um, hey, don't worry, Iida, I-" Katara began to say but was interrupted by a familiar voice.
"H-Hey guys!" called out Midoriya.
They turned to the voice to see that Midoriya was rushing up to them, wearing his costume...which looked a little odd.
"Midoriya?" Katara said, eyes blinking at the attire he was in.
"Wow, that's an interesting costume there, Midori!" Mina said with a jovial smirk.
"H-Huh? W-Well, I just feel like it's...well, like it's the right choice for me," Midoriya replied as he rubbed the back of his head. It was then he finally registered on seeing the girls' costumes, and suddenly he felt to be in shock, frozen by how good they looked in them. "W-Wow! I-I-I mean! U-U-Uh, you girls' got great costumes! No, wait, I meant-...I mean, yeah, t-they're great costumes, b-but I meant...y-you all look great...i-in them? ...U-Uh..."
Katara smirked and felt a little cheeky, "Why, thank you, Midoriya. That's certainly a flattering thing to tell us."
Mina joined in, snickering, "Yeah, thanks for the compliments, Midori~!"
Even Ochako giggled, "Wow, Midoriya, thanks! I felt kind of uneasy in wearing my suit, but you made me feel all better about it!"
"Um...y-yeah, thanks," Tsuyu says as she rubs her forefingers together in a nervous way, looking a little shy.
"Midoriya! Do not flirt with the girls! This is a very serious lesson on Heroics and you must not be over-confident in your savviness!" Iida said in a chopping arm motion.
"Huh!? What-n-n-no, I was just-" But before Midoriya could say anything else to defend himself, All Might began to announce to the kids.
"Alright, students! Is everyone here? If so, then gather around and follow me!" All Might instructed the kids.
With their conversation forgotten, Midoriya, Katara, and the rest of their group, as well as the other students, all paid attention to All Might as they followed him to the mock cityscape area where they had their Entrance Exams.
"Alrighty! We shall do our lesson here!" All Might announced.
"Excuse me, All Might-Sensei! This appears to be the same field used in the Entrance Exams! Will we once again perform cityscape maneuvers?" Iida asked with his hand raised.
"Nope! You'll be moving to step two!" All Might said, "Indoor anti-personnel battle training! Villain battles are most commonly outside, but statistically, the craftier and more heinous Villains are more likely to appear indoors! So, between confinement, house arrest, and black market deals, in this Hero-filled society of ours, the cleverest Villains out there will always lurk indoors!"
Katara nodded. That makes sense. Usually, they plan their next phase of an attack.
"So you'll now be split into Villain teams and Hero teams to face off in two-on-two battles!" All Might told them.
"So, we're not gonna do basic training?" Tsuyu asked.
"Nope again! Practical experience teaches you the basics! The difference here is you won't be fighting robots this time around!"
"What determines victory?" Momo asked.
"Um, are you threatening to expel someone like Aizawa-sensei did?" Ochako asked, a little nervous.
"How do we proceed to divide ourselves into teams?" Iida asked as he raised his hand.
"Can I just blow everyone away?" Bakugou asked in a mutter.
Katara heard that and turned her head at Bakugou with an irritated glare.
"One at a time, students! My Quirk isn't super-hearing!" All Might said, "Well, to all those questions, um, except for Young Bakugou's and Young Uraraka's, which I will answer in order, no, you can't blow anyone away-"
"Damn."
"-and no, I will never expel anyone in this school, unless the board tells me to."
"Oh, okay! whew!"
"But anyways! The Villains will be hiding in a building, alongside a fake nuclear weapon in their hideout. And the Heroes will have to go in and take care of the problem!" All Might said as he...reads a piece of paper while telling them the rules.
Katara blinked.
Hoo boy. I think the pressure is coming to Toshi.
"The Heroes have a limited amount of time to either capture the Villains or to secure the weapon in time. The Villains must either capture the Heroes or protect the weapon until the time is up."
Then, All Might got a box out from...somewhere, a box that says 'LOTS', and held it out to them.
"Now, your battle partners will be decided by drawing lots!"
"Drawing lots? Is that really the best way?" Iida asked, almost a little stupified.
"I think it makes sense! It's like with Pros who often have to team up with Heroes from other agencies on the spot during emergencies!" Midoriya informed with a nod.
"...Ah. Yes, that does make sense!" Iida commented with a nod also. "I apologize, All Might-sensei, for getting ahead of myself! My mistake!"
"No worries! Now, let's all get to it! Draw your lots!"
As everyone did so, Katara looked at the letter that she drew out.
"A...okay, I guess I should find who's 'A' then."
"Did you say 'A'?" asked...Midoriya!
"Huh?" Katara turned around to see that Midoriya was carrying his lot.
"Mine says 'A' too," Midoriya told her.
"Really?" Katara's eyes widened.
"Yeah. I, uh...I-I, uh, I guess we're battle partners then!" Midoriya said nervously.
Smiling at that, Katara said, "Hey, yeah, I guess we are! That's great!"
"Huh? I-I mean, uh, yeah! G-G-Great!" Midoriya stuttered as he shakily smiled. However in his thoughts...
O-O-Okay, this isn't bad! Not one bit! I mean, she's your friend, so no worries! Sure, you're communicating with a pretty girl, but your whole class has pretty girls! ...Wait, where am I leading with this? Oh! Right! Your battle partner is a pretty girl! And Katara is your friend, so that'll be easy to do, right? I mean, even though I haven't really communicated with a girl besides my mom, I'm really certain I can do very well on talking to her during the lesson and at this very moment...yeah...
...
...You know, Katara does look pretty attractive with all that red makeup on...n-nope, this won't be a problem! Nah-ah! NOT ONE BIT! NOOOOO SIREE!
Meanwhile with Katara...
Okay then, so I'm gonna partner up with Midoriya. That's good. Maybe I can give him a pep talk or something to boost his confidence...actually, why don't I just tell him that I know all about All Might's identity? I mean, the truth will come out sooner or later if Midoriya sees Toshi and me in the same spot...I think I need to ask Toshi about that. I don't know if I should tell him I'm from another world though, that would complicate things...maybe? I don't know, everyone is so understanding here, I feel like I could tell my whole class at this point since the school staff now knows...well, there's Bakugou, and I don't want him to have the pleasure of knowing that I'm from somewhere different...man, I really need to talk to Toshi about this.
"Alright then! Moving on, first up are...these teams!" All Might said as he stuck his hands on two boxes that each said 'VILLAIN' and 'HERO'. Once he got his hands out of them, he read the balls on each hand. "Here, for the Hero Team, we have...Team A!"
Katara and Midoriya's eyes widened at the sheer luck of their selection.
"And as for the Villain Team...Team D!"
And Team D was none other than Iida and...Bakugou.
Two thoughts came to Midoriya and Katara.
OH SHIT!
Aw, shit.
Bakugou glanced at his two opponents for a moment and 'humphed'.
Iida, though, thought one thing.
I'm a Villain!? And I have to fight Katara!? ...And Midoriya!?
"The Villain team goes first! The timer will start around five minutes whenever the Hero team sneaks into the hideout! The rest of us will watch via CCTV!" All Might told everyone. He then directs his attention to Iida and Bakugou, "You two boys will need to adopt a Villain mindset! This is all practical experience, so go all out and don't hold back! Although, I will stop either one of you if you take things too far."
Katara glanced at Bakugou and glared at him, while Midoriya glanced at him anxiously. Bakugou glanced at her and Midoirya as well and only sneered.
"Alright, everyone! Places! It's time to get ready!"
Man, I'm glad the support team filled some water into my canteen before I went out here for this lesson. Katara thought as she and Midoriya walked.
Katara and Midoriya were out in the open, trying to find the hideout as they got the building blueprints given to them by All Might.
"Okay..." Katara muttered, "So, right now, we need to find this hideout and try to sneak in."
"Y-Yeah..." Midoriya was looking a little nervous as he looked at his building blueprints, "We need to memorize these as well, so we can maneuver around the building easily."
"Yeah..." Katara turned to Midoriya and sees that he was shaking, obviously apprehensive. Katara blinked and asked, "Hey, are you okay, Midoriya?"
"Huh!? Oh, uh, yeah, I-I'm...w-well, it's just...we'll be facing against Kacchan...a-and Iida!"
Raising an eyebrow, Katara asked him, "Why do you call him Kacchan?"
"Uh...w-well..."
"...You said yesterday that you knew him. How do you know him?" Katara asked a little curious.
"Uh...we...w-well, we went to the same...s-school together..." Midoriya admitted.
Katara then pieced all the parts together...
"Wait...he bullied you, didn't he?" Katara said with a frown.
"U-Uh...w-well..."
"...That does it then," Katara scowled at the thought of Bakugou, "He's nothing but an absolute jerk. He shouldn't even be a Hero in the first place!"
"No!" Midoriya exclaimed, startling Katara, "I mean...yeah, he can be a jerk, but he really wants to be Hero!"
Katara just looked at him oddly, "Well, he's not acting like one."
"Well, yeah, but...he just...he really inspired me back then on wanting to become a Hero."
"What!? Bakugou inspired you on wanting to become a Hero!?" Katara asked with a horrified surprised look on her face.
"I mean, not in the way he acts! I meant his goals...his confidence...his strength...his Quirk...he really motivated me to become the Hero I want to be."
"...But, that doesn't make sense," Katara said, "If anything, you would want to be a Hero because you want to prove it to him. And...from what I know about you, you're definitely heroic in many ways. You talk about All Might all the time and how you want to be just like him. So where does Bakugou fit in this picture?"
"...Um...w-well, first of all, I'm not trying to be a Hero to prove it to him. I have my goals and determination for that. I just...really want to show him I can do it..."
"...How far back have you known him?" Katara had to ask.
"...U-Um, sorry, I don't think we need to waste any more time. Everyone has to have their turns, you know?"
Katara frowned, "...Midoriya, just know that I'm your friend, okay? Whatever your relationship with Bakugou is, just know that I, Iida, Tsuyu, Ochako, and Mina are your true friends. And whatever Bakugou is to you, just know that he doesn't deserve what you bring him."
"I-..." Midoriya sighed as he slumped, "...Okay..."
Katara nodded, "Alright then. Well, we should probably get going."
"Right..."
Meanwhile, with Iida and Bakugou...
"Hm...whether this is training or not, the concept of being a Villain disheartens me..." Iida looked up at the life-sized paper mache bomb, "So we merely have to guard this thing?"
Bakugou didn't answer as he was on another tangent in his mind.
Tch...that Deku thinks he can just hide that Quirk of his and make me into some kind of fool? He's been punking me this whole time! That damned nerd...
"Also, we have to face Katara as well," Iida murmured, "I don't want to cause any harm to her, even if it calls it...and there's also Midoriya. I'm facing my own friends...hmm...this will be a difficult task to do when I'm training to be a Hero."
"Hey. Deku has a Quirk, right? And the Water Girl controls water?" Bakugou gruffly asked Iida.
Iida turned his head to Bakugou and blinked, "First of all, that girl's name is Katara. Secondly, yes, you saw that he had the monstrous strength he displayed in the Quirk Apprehension Test. Which, by the way, I will ask you not to charge straight at him. He could pose a bigger threat."
"Tch! You don't have to worry about that, Four-Eyes. Just leave him to me," Bakugou said as he gritted his teeth.
And if that Water Brat tries to stop me, then I won't hold back either...

...Wait...water...blood has water in it...like a lot...
Bakugou's eyes widened as he realized something.
Wait a minute...yesterday...did she really do that!? Did she control me by manipulating my blood!?
...
...Oh...it's on now. No one is gonna make me look like a fucking fool! And if that's the case, then why did she stop me that day!? Does she happen to know Deku!? ...Feh! Alright then. I won't be able to try to take down that Water Brat if she can control my blood as well. I need to get them separated...first and foremost, I'll take care of Deku. Maybe that little bastard could tell me what she knows about me since they're so fucking close! I'll let Four-Eyes distract Water Girl. He seems like he can get some type of job done. Hell, taking down Deku would probably still be easy, so I can probably go back up to face that Water Bitch! Either way, they won't beat me. So let's go, Deku!
Iida looked at Bakugou as he stood there rigidly, feeling a little...uneasy about how the blond boy radiated such fierce and resentful energy.
...It seems Bakugou is certainly taking his Villain persona into account...should I worry for Katara and Midoriya?
End of Chapter 14
And that's it for now! :D In other news, I might get a job soon! I don't know for certain, but they asked me to come over for a group interview next Wednesday! So, wish me luck on all of that! :)
But yeah, see? I told you all I was going to update this story soon! But do tell me how it is so far! I stopped here because I thought it would be a good place to stop as I wanted to get prepared to write the action sequences between Midoriya, Katara, and Bakugou. Wish me luck on that as well, I feel like that one will be a doozy. :O
Either way, tell me how I did! Leave a review, fave and follow the story, all of that stuff! :)
Thank you all for reading and keep on rocking everybody! :
