Chapter 8
[Play KH BBS OST Eternal Moments]
Thanks to Sora taking Izuku there before, he knew where to go, and got to the Nurse's office by the time the bots that were supposed to come get Izuku had gotten to where Katsuki was standing. Izuku was slightly conscious during this and was surprised at how fast they got here.
"H-How, did we..." Izuku struggled to speak.
"I used my Flowmotion on both of us." Sora explained, opening the door to the office. "I'll tell you the rest after you recover. I have to get back to class."
"My goodness!" Recovery Girl said, surprised at how fast the two got here. "How on earth, did you get here so fast? And what happened to him?"
"Combat training." Sora replied. "Sorry, but I gotta go. I'll tell you the rest after class."
"Wait! Hold on a minute!" Recovery Girl tried to stop Sora, but it was too late. The boy was already gone. "Ugh. You boys are the worst, when it comes to listening, you know that?"
Izuku couldn't really say anything in response, mainly because he was unconscious.
[Silence]
When Sora had gotten back to the group, he was just in time to hear about the MVP of the battle. When questioned about what's going on with Izuku, Sora just said that the nurse will take care of him, and that was enough of an answer.
"Well, despite the results," All Might started. "The MVP of this exercise is Young Iida."
Everyone was surprised, Except for Momo, and Shoto, as usual.
"Shouldn't it be one of the heroes instead, since they're the winners?" Tsuyu questioned
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Among Kosei]
"Hmm. Valid question." All Might remarked. "Why didn't I choose one of those two? Who has a guess?"
"Sir, I can tell you why." Momo spoke up. "Iida embraced this challenge. He was the only one who truly adapted to his assigned role. I'll explain. Bakugo's judgement was clouded by a personal grudge against Midoriya. As you pointed out earlier, launching a large scale attack indoors was a foolish move. It could have been disastrous. Similarly, Midoriya's plan was also poorly thought out, considering the amount of damage he received. He rendered himself helpless. Not smart. As for Uraraka, she let her guard down mid battle, and her final attack was far too reckless considering the hypothetical stakes. If she treated the fake weapon as though it were real, she never would have risked using such an imprecise move. Iida was fully prepared for his opponent's arrival. He had a strategy, and never lost sight of his mission to protect the dummy weapon. Even if he was foiled in the end."
Sora noticed how Iida's shame from losing quickly ended up turning into bliss from the very, very long explanation that Momo gave, detailing why Iida was the best out of the 4. Sora also noticed how Yagi seemed a bit surprised at how detailed she was about the entire thing.
"Yes, well...you overlooked a few things." All Might interjected. "Young Iida could have relaxed a little bit in the exercise. But, otherwise you nailed it."
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Dogimagi]
Momo then explained about how devoting oneself to learning was the only way to become a top hero. Sora could only partially agree on that. While learning is important. Some things will be forever unpredictable, and as such, you have to take chances and risks that you don't want to do. You can't rely on a pattern that you have in your head all the time. That fight could even be proof of that. Katsuki changed his style mid fight and forced Izuku to take a risk that he didn't want to, but had to take. Sora decided to just move on from it.
"Now then!" All Might announced. "Time to blow this joint! Let's move onto the next match! Think about everything we saw and discussed as you tackle this training for yourself."
"Yes sir." Responded everyone except Bakugo.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST U.A. Reporting For Duty]
Next up was Team B as the Heroes and Team I as the villians. Each side was getting ready. Sora noticed that the invisible person was taking off what little clothes she had left off. Smart, but still weird to think that there is technically a naked girl on the screen.
"Look alive kids!" All Might instructed. "Show us you're the embodiment of good...or evil! Let's go!"
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Strategy VS Wilderness]
The big guy named Mezo started morphing his many limbs into ears, but then as the guy spoke for a few seconds, Shoto said something and then swiftly froze the entire building by the time Mezo walked outside. Shoto slowly made his way to the bomb and broke a sly smile as he said something towards Ojiro. The tailed boy didn't even fight back and begrudgingly accepted defeat at the hands of Shoto as the walking freezer touched the payload, signaling the end.
Everyone had their arms around them, shivering from the cold, huddled together, except for Sora, due to him being in a blizzard with not much clothes before. All Might then complimented how Shoto stopped the villains without damaging the weapon or his ally. This was a bit too one-sided, and the other students noticed this.
As if that display of power wasn't enough, he then melted all the ice as quickly as he made it, turning it into steam and any water that wasn't steamed, was a very high temperature. This wasn't a bit, it was way too one-sided. Overkill even. The other students noted how scary the guy acted, and also pointed out that he got in via recommendation, meaning that he had to be hot stuff.
Sora broke the ice and said, "I guess I know who I'm doing my exercise with now." earning a few glances at him.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Hero A]
After the review of the second match, the next battle was Team H, as Heroes vs Team J, as Villians. The Villain strategy was good, making a makeshift barrier around the weapon, so it's harder to reach, but then Sora noticed something that was kinda unpleasant for him. The bird boy, named Tokoyami. His quirk was something he called Dark Shadow, and when in the dark areas of the building, it seemed to grow in size and power.
When Sora first saw it, it looked like a pure heartless. The dark skin, the yellow eyes, the way it attacked with claws. It reminded Sora of the Guardian he faced over and over during his adventures. It felt so weird to him, seeing a kid his age, maybe older, have a power that Sora was already familiar with, even though it's one he did not like to remember.
The match was fairly even, but in the end, the Heroes were able to support each other perfectly, securing the weapon in the end.
Next was Team C, as Villians vs Team G, as Heroes. Momo created steel plates to seal off all entrances to the room with the payload, while Mineta just stared at her features, earning himself a very annoyed glance from the girl. During this time, Jiro had used her earplugs that were actually a part of her ears, to listen in through the building and find the team easily. Kaminari used his electric powers, but it turns out that if he does for too long, he short circuits and becomes dumb. With the situation being too stacked up against the Heroes, they lost.
Next was Team E as Heroes and Team F as Villians. This one was weird. Koda's ability to talk to animals was good for getting backup, but they gave away the position of the payload when the windows were broken, in order to do that. Sato's super strength was also good, but he got dumb and tired after five minutes. Mina's acid was good for her to move around, but she had to be careful not to hurt anyone with it, and also Aoyama's cape. And Aoyama...well, he was trying to look good, and his laser was only good for scaring off the birds that came after them. The Villains won, due to the Heroes constantly getting lost, because Mina melted her map by accident, and Yuga tossed his at the beginning of the match.
After the review of that last battle was over, it was time for the last match.
[Silence]
"All Right!" All Might called out. "Time for the final battle! The teams will now be Young Sora and Young Shoji as the Heroes and Team I reprising the Villain role! Head over to the last building and get yourselves prepared."
"Yes sir." The four of them said in unison, turning around and walking out the door.
As the four of them had exited the room, Sora had noticed that his opponents were looking a little down. Toru's shoes were dragging a bit, and Ojiro didn't look too happy. Even his ally was a little disheartened, looking less determined than he was before. Sora could see that the three of them felt humiliated at the fact that they had to do this, after the embarrassment that was Shoto's power play. As Team I was starting to walk ahead, Sora decided to do what he does.
"Hey you two." He called out, getting the two's attention.
"What is it?" Mashirao asked, while both of them turned around to face Sora, who was sticking his arm out, and holding it in front of the two.
"May the best team win." Sora said with a reassuring smile.
The two of them stopped and from what Sora could tell, Ojiro was a bit taken aback at this move. When Sora was about to say something, he saw Hagakure's glove grab Sora's hand and shake it for a second.
"Yeah." She replied, sounding reinvigorated. "Good luck you two."
Mashirao ended up extending his arm out to Shoji, who reciprocated the action with one of his arms. Now that the teams were in better spirits, they headed to the building they needed to go to, looking forward to the event.
[Play KH Re:Chain of Memories OST Just Wondering]
Sora and Mezo were waiting outside the building, getting themselves prepared. Sora was waving his Keyblade around, practising some spells by performing the actions, but not actually casting the spells, and Shoji was practicing his morphing abilities, by changing the ends of his limbs from hands, to ears, to eyes, and back to hands, as fast as he could. Sora felt excited, because he could finally let loose and properly test his abilities, or at least what he had left after he vanished and was taken here.
"Okay!" All Might spoke into the mic. "Let the final battle for today, BEGIN!"
[Play KH3 OST Sound of Reassurance]
Sora tapped Mezo's shoulder and got his partner's attention. "I got an idea." Sora said. "Hold onto me."
"Um...ok?" Shoji replied, placing a hand on Sora's shoulder. "What now?"
Just then, the two began to glow blue. Mezo was confused, looking at Sora, who just smiled and gave a thumbs up, before suddenly suddenly using his Flowmotion to blitz to the top of the building, without making a sound. This move, shocked Shoji, who was still holding onto Sora, almost expecting this to not be all.
"Ok." Sora remarked. "Let's head inside and win this thing."
Mezo nodded and let go of Sora's shoulder. The two of them slowly entered through the door on the rooftop, making sure to be as quiet as possible, shutting the door behind them. Sora tapped his hand and then cupped it around his ear, signaling Shoji to use one of his limbs to make an ear and listen to the sounds in the building.
"Three floors below us," Mezo quietly informed Sora. "Lots of sounds are coming from there. Most likely setting up extra traps. And another noise a few floors below that. Footsteps, wearing boots. They're heavy."
Sora nodded and then looked down at the flight that the pair had to scale down. Sora then quietly asked. "Hey, are you able to use your arms to parachute down?"
"I can slow down my fall with them but not use them like a parachute." Shoji answered.
"Alright." Sora replied. "When I signal you with my earpiece, jump down."
"What, what are you..." Mezo started, but couldn't finish as he saw Sora go over the safety railing and dive down the stairs.
Though he had done this before, Sora forgot to tell his partner about that. When he looked back up, he noticed Shoji looked at him like he was a madman, and Sora had felt kinda bad about that. Anyway, he landed safely and silently on the floor, then radioed Mezo to jump. When he looked up, he saw his partner, falling a slight bit slower than he was.
It was then, that Sora summoned the Kingdom Key and held it forward, bracing himself, as he radioed Shoji to aim for the key that he was holding out. Mezo angled himself properly and landed on the key, but Sora almost lost his grip, and the sword was very close to the ground. Shoji quietly got himself off of the blade and they started walking through the halls.
Mezo was taking point, having an eye on one of his arms, looking behind him, a pair of ears to monitor the sounds and give Sora any updates, and the rest of them as other eyes looking in any other direction. Sora had his Kingdom Key in his hand, and was staying close to Shoji, keeping his eyes open as well.
"Someone's coming." Mezo said, finding the closest room he could and getting himself and Sora there. The footsteps were getting closer and it sounded like they were running, like whoever it was, heard that.
"Hagakure." Ojiro spoke, stopping in his tracks outside the room the two were hiding in. "I heard something over here. I'm gonna check it out."
"Got it." Toru responded. "Tell me if you find them."
"Understood." Mashirao replied, starting to look around for any trace of the two.
Sora quietly got out his capture tape and was silently creeping up behind the boy, getting ready to subdue him, but when he pulled on the role, it made a very loud noise.
[Play KH BBS OST The Tumbling]
The tailed boy heard that, and didn't hesitate to turn around and attempt to kick his opponent, but Sora jumped back and summoned his Kingdom Key. Ojiro moved forward, spinning around, swinging his tail horizontally. Sora ducked and went for a thrust with his blade, but Mashirao saw through it, grabbing the blade and pulling Sora towards himself, using his free hand to throw a punch, that Sora caught with his free hand. The Keyblade wielder unsummoned his weapon, jumped up and drop-kicked his opponent, making some distance between the two, before summoning the Kingdom Key to stop himself from hitting the floor too hard.
While Ojiro was stopping his fall with his tail, Sora silently signaled to Mezo to go, while he took care of Mashirao. Shoji nodded and got out of there, leaving Sora to deal with his opponent.
"Fighting me one on one when you could have teamed up on me?" Ojiro pointed out.
"It's the fair thing to do." Sora remarked. "Besides, I trust that Mezo can take care of himself."
"Well then let's get started." Mashirao said, getting ready to continue the fight.
Sora nodded and then went towards Ojiro, Keyblade in hand as he prepared to swing, but Mashirao was faster and jumped up in the air, doing a front flip to gain the momentum needed to swing his tail down, full force at Sora, but was surprised to see that the swordsman blocked the attack head on, and even reversed the momentum, forcing Ojiro back up in the air. Sora took the opportunity and used his Flowmotion to get to the ceiling and then launch himself down, forcing the tailed student to the ground. Sora jumped off and then stuck his Keyblade up, waving it around for half a second while Mashirao was getting back up, and then he pointed it towards Ojiro, the tip glowing orange as he positioned himself.
"Fire!" Sora announced.
Just then, a small fireball came out of the tip of the blade and went towards Mashirao at a moderate pace, giving himself just enough time to dodge the attack. He looked back at Sora to see that he wasn't in view, but still heard the Hero close by. He looked up and saw Sora coming at him with a downward slash. He braced and managed to catch the blade with both of his hands, before attempting to pull Sora towards the floor, only for the Keyblade wielder to unsummon his sword, and resummon in reverse grip, then attempt to land an upward slash. Mashirao saw this, and managed to dodge by the skin of his teeth. Sora then landed on his free hand and pushed himself back upright, backflipping away to get some distance again.
"Not this time." Ojiro said, lunging himself forward and closing the distance, getting right in Sora's face and landing a solid sidekick on the Keyblade weilder's chest, making him lose his balance and almost fall on his back, but Mashirao grabbed Sora's arm, used his tail to trip the Keyblade wielder, and throw him over his shoulder into the wall. Sora hit the wall hard, as he bounced off of it and back into Mashirau, who was getting himself ready to spin kick Sora when he rebounded towards him, but Sora managed to block the attack and push himself away, rolling to safety.
"You're pretty good." Sora pointed out, getting up. And getting ready to continue.
"Thanks." Ojiro replied. "You too." He was panting from the scuffle, he looked a bit tired.
[Silence]
Back in the Monetary Room, most of the class was amazed with that spectacle.
"Holy crap man!" Denki said.
"He's strong, fast, can summon and unsummon that key thing at will, and shoot fire?" Sato pointed out.
"What else can this guy do?" Hanta questioned.
"What the heck is his quirk?" Minoru asked.
"It's like my creation quirk, but on a whole different scale." Momo pointed out.
"Wait, you can do those things too?" Kaminari questioned.
"No." Yaoyorozu answered. "I can't create things like fire, and I can't unmake my creations. I also have to know what I'm creating, down to a molecular level, and it looks like he has to just say whatever he makes."
"His quirk is called Summon." All Might said.
"Summon?" Eijiro repeated.
"Correct." All Might answered. "He can summon objects and natural elements out of thin air, as well as remove them."
"So that blue light around him, must be some sort of application of his quirk, summoning that around himself and allowing him to move at such high speeds. Most likely some sort of unique element that he can make." Momo hypothesized. "Top that off, with the fact that he can choose what direction he can summon the key shaped weapon, as well as potentially having other elemental based attacks, and he might be unrivaled in this class when it comes to his quirk."
The students were amazed and also kinda jealous. Toshinori however, was just glad that the class bought that excuse. Sora has way too many abilities to count, even when he is limited. It's a good thing that someone who actually has a quirk that is somewhat similar to Sora's abilities, was here to 'explain' it.
Mashirao was still panting from the scuffle, it took a lot of his strength to hold back Sora's attacks, and he was starting to feel tired, because of the adrenaline leaving his system. Sora noticed this and unsummoned his Keyblade.
"You need to take a break?" Sora asked, looking a bit concerned. "I didn't go in too hard, did I?"
"Huh?" Ojiro replied. "You mean you're not even trying?"
"Well, I'm holding back so I don't hurt you." Sora sheepishly explained, scratching the back of his head as he tried to be careful with his fight.
Mashirao was shocked, because Sora didn't look like that strong of a guy, but he was practically unscathed. He ended up letting his guard down and that would have cost him if it was anyone else.
"Sorry that I didn't say anything." Sora apologized. "I didn't want you to get discouraged, fighting me."
[Play KH BBS OST The Worlds]
Ojiro smirked. This guy was considering his feelings, after what happened last time. It was almost just like before. He didn't stand a chance. Sora was on a whole different level, but unlike the first time, he wasn't mad about it. The opposite in fact. In spite of just meeting Sora, the Hero of this scenario ended up earning the Villain's respect in more ways than one.
"Well that's very kind of you." Mashirao commented. "But you still have to capture me if you want to move forward, so I suggest you do that."
Sora then nodded and resummoned the Kingdom Key.
[Play KH BBS OST Risky Romp]
Sora went in for another attack, but Ojiro wasn't going to go down, even though he had no chance, he would still at least stall Sora's time or try to catch the Hero off guard and use his capture tape. He used his tail to propel himself forward, getting right to Sora and tackling the Keyblade wielder to the ground. He stayed on top and tried to use the tape right there, but Sora rolled back and got himself on top of Mashirao, grabbing the tape and throwing it to the side.
"Almost got me there." Sora commented.
While Ojiro appreciated the praise from his opponent, he was focusing on trying to get Sora off of him. He got one of his legs in front of him, and kicked Sora off of him. He then rolled back and got on his feet, but Sora already closed the distance, and started swinging his weapon at Mashirao, forcing him to dodge and try to back up. He ended up backed into a wall and Sora pinned him there, pressing the Kingdom Key on his throat, holding his hands up with the other hand, and pressing Ojiro's feet down to the floor with his own.
"Got you." Sora said.
"Indeed you did." Mashirao said, accepting defeat, as he let Sora wrap the tape around him.
"That was a good match." Sora said. "Let's have another sometime."
"I'd like that." Ojiro replied.
[Silence]
"Hey Mezo." Sora said into his earpiece. "Mashirao's out. Where are you?"
"I'm two floors down, near the far back left corner of the building." Shoji replied. "I'm disarming the traps that were set up around the payload so I can get to it."
"You hear the other one around?" Sora asked.
"No." Mezo pointed out. "I haven't heard anything ever since you finished your fight."
"Keep your guard up." Sora said. "She could be anywhere. I'll head over to you."
"Understood." Shoji replied.
As Mezo was getting closer to the payload, he was increasingly cautious, making many ears around his body. He didn't need eyes, since he was tracking someone invisible, but that was his mistake, as he would soon see.
[Play KH BBS OST Mkaukau]
He suddenly felt a body drop on him and wrap around his back. It was Toru, she climbed up one of the pillars and waited for Shoji to get close, so she would be able to sneak up on him without making a sound. He struggled, but couldn't shake her off of him. He felt the capture tape start to wrap around his body, and he kept shaking his body, to try and get her off, but it wasn't working. He then viciously spread his arms out, managing to get her off, but she did that on purpose, as the capture tape was now surrounding him. She then tugged and got Mezo completely wrapped up.
"Yes!" She cheered "I did it. Now all that's left is Sora."
Mezo grunted, but then admitted defeat. "Good move. I could hear your movements, but you didn't make a move until I was right where you wanted me."
"Yep!" She explained. "The traps were set up so that they would lead you to here, where I could literally get the drop on you."
Shoji then closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "So where do you want me?"
"Oh right." Hagakure realized that Mezo needed to be moved. "Just sit next to the bomb please."
Toru got Shoji up and moved him over to the payload, making him look like a hostage in this situation. She then climbed up another pillar, using the spare capture tape as a rope to wrap around the pillar and climb up.
[Silence]
Sora had gotten to the room that Mezo mentioned and then looked around. He didn't see any traps, or any sign of the girl. He did however notice Shoji, strapped to the payload.
"Mezo!" Sora called out, rushing over to his ally.
[Play KH ReChain of Memories OST Monstrous Monstro]
Sora was almost there when he saw capture tape, surrounding his body. He barely had any time to summon his blade in reverse grip and cut through it. He twirled the blade around and then, with one hand, scraped the edge of it on the ground for a second, before, executing an upward slice behind him, turning himself around as he did the slice, to get ready for a fight, but she dropped the tape, making it unknown where she was.
He looked around for anything that could clue him in on where she was, but he couldn't see anything in the room move. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder, he instinctively turned, and he then felt his hood get pulled over his head and tugged down. Sora dropped the Kingdom Key and tried to grab Toru, but she let go and managed to snatch his capture tape, unrolling it, and trying to wrap up Sora in it. Sora jumped up and summoned the Keyblade, waving it above his head and then pointing it straight at the floor, the tip glowing white.
"Blizzard!" Sora called out.
Suddenly, an ice crystal came out of the blade and struck the ground, shattering the crystal, and spreading snowflakes around the area. Some landed on Hagakure and Sora noticed that. He used his Flowmotion to get to her, and he grabbed her wrists, due to her still holding the tape, and him being able to trace it to her hands. He held them up and then got both her hands, in one of Sora's, giving him a free hand to grab the tape, but she kicked the tape away, and then kicked Sora's leg, making him lose his grip as she pushed him away, making him stumble to the floor for a second.
Sora could hear her making a b-line for the tape, that was also in front of the bomb, and he acted fast. He shot out another Blizzard and then used Flowmotion on the ice trail it made. Toru unwrapped the tape again, but she failed to notice Sora's approach, only noticing the Blizzard, as she moved to the side and watched it trail past the payload. When she looked back to Sora, he had already taken the tape and it was unraveled all around her.
She tried to get out of the way, but Sora had already won. He held onto one end of the tape and let his Flowmotion do the rest. The tape restricted her body to the neck down, making her look like a mummy and she ended up being pulled with Sora towards the bomb. Sora had jumped off the ice trail and Hagakure ended up following him up. Sora landed next to the payload and he extended his arms out, catching her, before she hit the ground, and then gently putting her down before placing his hand on the payload.
[Play KH Union Cross OST Game Central Station]
"And with that spectacular move, the winners ARRRRRRRE the Heroes!" All Might announced on the Mic.
"Yeah!" Sora cheered.
"Awwww!" Toru cried out. "We lost again!"
"But you did so much better this time." Sora pointed out. "You almost had me a few times there."
Hagakure thought about it for a second and then said, "Yeah, you're right about that. That was so much better than just getting a burning shower."
Sora chuckled at the remark and helped his classmates up. He cut the tape that was holding Mezo, and was about to do it for Toru, but then stopped.
"What's the matter?" She asked.
"Uh, do you know where you put your clothes?" Sora asked.
"Oh." Hagakure realized what he was talking about. "J-Just cut me loose and look away when you finish. I-I'll get the tape off me."
Sora innocently chuckled and signaled Shoji to go on ahead. Though Mezo was confused at why this was a problem, since she was invisible, he still obliged. When Shoji left the room, Sora cut the tape, turned around and walked away, not looking back, so she could have some privacy.
He went back to cut off Ojiro's tape, but Mezo already undid it. The three then walked together towards the entrance of the building. But Mashirao had something to say. "Shoji told me about your scuffle with Hagakure. He said that she managed to get out of your grip."
"Yeah." Sora confirmed.
"Be honest with me." Ojiro commented. "You let her go on purpose, didn't you? Because your grip is actually really strong, even with one hand."
Sora placed his hands behind his head and replied, "Mayyyyybe."
"You let your bout with her drag on?" Mezo questioned.
"Well all three of you looked down in the dumps after that first match, and I knew that my words of encouragement at the beginning weren't going to be enough." Sora explained. "So I made it my mission to make all of you guys feel like you weren't just fodder, that you were actual contenders for becoming amazing Pro Heroes."
"So you held back in our fights and let us get a few good shots, to boost our confidence." Mashirao stated.
"While having faith that I could deal with getting the payload alone." Shoji added.
"Exactly." Sora confirmed. "And because of that, the three of you all played important parts and did amazing."
Ojiro smiled and Mezo calmly closed his eyes.
"You're something else Sora." Shoji remarked.
"Is that a good kind of something?" Sora asked.
"The best kind of something." Mashirao answered.
Sora smiled let out a joyous laugh that got the other two to join in. When they got to the entrance, they waited for Toru to arrive. When she did, the four of them walked together over to the Monetary Room, all happy with what happened back there.
[Play KH Unchained OST Daybreak Town Field]
The four of them got there and stood next to each other, waiting for whatever critique was coming their way.
"Well out of all four of you." All Might started. "The best of the bunch was Young Hagakure."
Sora was proud of her, and he noticed as the gloves shook for a second. She either perked up, or was genuinely surprised. Either way, it was good for her
"Who here would like to explain why, while we head to the exit?" All Might requested.
Of course, Momo raised her hand and began her explanation of Yagi's reasoning, while they all made their way to the exit of the battle center.
Sora got the basics. He let his guard down a few times, Mezo followed orders, but was reckless. Mashirao let his guard down a few times. Toru was acting like a Villain would. Heroes won, but they weren't the best because of this and that, and the Villains were not as good because of blah blah blah. Sora saw all Might looking at him, and he slyly, pointed at his wrist, signaling to All Might that he was cutting it a bit close.
"Okay!" All Might announced "Full marks all around! The only major injury was caused by Young Midoriya. Excellent work."
"It's nice to hear some encouraging words, after our Homeroom Class." Asui commented. "Mr. Aizawa was kind of a buzzkill."
Everyone nodded to that. But Sora was rubbing his wrists, trying to tell Toshinori to go. Yagi was just starting to steam up a little bit.
[Silence]
"I'm happy to bring such staggering positivity to my class!" All Might announced. "That's all for now folks, I should go and check on Young Midoriya's progress. Now watch how a Pro exits, like he's got SOMEWHERE TO BE!" He took off as fast as he could, leaving behind a bis smoke trail and a small hole where he stood before. Sora stopped fidgeting with his wrists and sighed in relief.
"Ok you guys, THAT is a hero." Denki commented.
"Aww, I'll never be able to run that fast." Mashirao remarked.
"Super awesome." Minoru praised.
That was a bit too close. Yagi was straining to keep the form up during Sora's test, but that was about all he could do. Hopefully he gets to someplace where he can debuff himself safely, on time. Sora was about to follow Yagi to see Izuku, but realized that he had to go to the Afternoon classes.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Lunch Song]
The Afternoon classes were just like the morning classes, Geometry, Science, Government, all that stuff. Sora, though concerned about Izuku, was still able to pay attention in the courses and take notes. He took as much as he could, so he can share the notes with Izuku. He also asked for 2 copies of any worksheets that the class was assigned to complete, to give to his friend after school. When those were done with, school was out.
Sora went over to the nurses office and gave the papers he grabbed for Izuku, to Recovery girl, and also apologised for just dropping him off here without explaining anything. After a short, stern talk about giving people time to speak, before running off, Sora then made his way to the Development Studio, to meet the guy who gave him the note. He knocked on the door, waiting for a response, and then saw a guy that he thinks was called Power Loader, answer the door.
[Silence]
"Whatcha need?" He asked.
"I'm here to see someone." Sora commented. "This person gave me a note and told me to meet them here." Sora showed the note to the Hero, and he let kid in.
"He's over in the back of the room, past Mei. The pink haired girl, he mentioned." Power Loader pointed out.
"You don't sound too thrilled to talk about this guy." Sora pointed out.
"He's another Developer, very stingy about payment and his property. Not the best guy to work with." Power Loader explained. "He said he was gonna leave a month ago, but something changed his mind, and now I'm stuck with him."
Sora felt kinda bad for the guy. Hopefully he can handle whoever this Developer is, especially since this mystery man wanted to see him in person. Sora looked around the room, trying to find any trace of another person, but he couldn't see anyone.
"Down here, Kupo." A voice called out, close to the ground.

Sora looked down and saw who it was. It was undeniable. The big, round nose. The puffy antenna on his head. The white fur, The tiny ears. The small purple wings. It was the person that Sora could count on seeing, everywhere he went. It still greatly shocked Sora though.
"Moogle!?" Sora responded.
"In the flesh, Kupo!" Moogle responded, flying up to Sora's eye level. "I was wondering where our number one customer was, Kupo." He whispered that last part.
"How are you even here?" Sora asked.
"We've set up shop everywhere for the past decade, Kupo." Moogle replied. "You think that we don't have every place covered at this point, Kupo?"
"Good point." Sora said. "I'm still surprised that you wanted to see me though."
"I wanted to make sure that it was really you, Kupo." Moogle explained. "I know how your stuff works, Kupo. It ain't really compatible with anyone else who works here, Kupo. So when I saw that you were applying to the school, I decided to stay and work with the staff as an extra Licenced Developer, Kupo."
"Wait, but how am I going to purchase your synthesis recipes and the materials?" Sora questioned. "Munny isn't a currency accepted here, and if it was, I only have 1000 in a pouch."
"Don't worry about that, Kupo." Moogle reeasured. "I get paid to help make things for the kids, so my fee is already covered, Kupo. Besides, you're the biggest spender out of all of our customers, Kupo. We've lost count of how many prize postcards you've sent us, and you also complete all the synthesis goals and use all the recipes, during your past escapades with us, Kupo. I'll give you this freebie, Kupo."
Sora was relieved at that explanation, but he still felt kinda spoiled if this was the case. Then again, if Moogle wants to do this, then he'll let the Developer follow his heart.

"You two seem to know each other." Power Loader interjected, as he walked towards the two.
"Of course, Kupo." Moogle responded. "He volunteered testing out our Support Items for the past year. But he stopped when he was getting ready to apply to U.A."
The pink haired girl who was named Mei gasped, and got behind Sora, looking a bit too excited. "That means you'll be the perfect person to test out all my babies, when I finish them!" She remarked, already starting to feel Sora up, who was already uncomfortable, with how quickly she moved in on him.
"Hey, I called dibs on him the moment I got his costume, Kupo!" Moogle said, trying to get the girl away, but physically unable to move her, even when he was pulling a lock of her hair. "Find your own volunteer, Kupo!"
"Hey, hey! Break it up!" Power Loader called out, getting Mei off of Sora, and Moggle off of Mei. "Sorry about that kid. These two are pretty competitive, in spite of meeting each other yesterday."
"Ehh...It's fine." Sora replied. "I just hope I didn't start a fight by accident."
"More like a rivalry." Power Loader replied, as he walked with Sora to the door. "Thanks for stopping by."
Sora smiled and gave a thumbs up, letting the door close behind him. But as soon as the door closed, he heard some more banter.
"Dibs on his next request!" Mei called out.
"Fat chance, Kupo!" Moogle retorted.
"You can't call dibs on a person you two!" Power Loader remarked.

Sora, decided to leave while he still could, and high tailed it back to the classroom, to see Izuku, making quite a bit more friends. Sora smiled and walked back in to listen to the praise of his friend, but ended up hearing something else funny, on the sidelines.
"So noisy." Fumikage commented.
"Tokoyami!' Iida announced "Stop using that desk as a chair! Get off of it this instant!"
"Dude, you need to chill." Jiro remarked, taking Tenya by surprise.

"You're carrying a lot of tension" Ojiro pointed out.
"No one understands." Iida said. "I cannot condone actions that disrespect these desks! Not when great men and women, our upperclassmen use them."
"Also noisy." Fumikage repeated.
"Talk about a diverse class." Sora muttered to himself.
Denki and Ochaco then walked in, and it seemed like Denki was trying to ask her out, but when she saw Izuku, she went over to talk to him. Nice try though. When she asked about why Midoriya wasn't healed all the way, he mentioned something about stamina, before noticing that Katsuki wasn't here. When she explained why, Izuku rushed out of the class and went to go find him. Sora was about to follow, but then got stopped by the crowd.

"Hey, you're the guy who had that Summon Quirk, right?" Hanta pointed out.
"Oh, uh yeah." Sora confirmed. "My name is Sora."
"Hanta Sero." Sero replied.
"Eijiro Kirishima." Eijiro added.
"Mina Ashido" Mina included.
"Yuga Aoyama." Yuga said, in an unsessisarilly flamboyant manner.
"Minoru Mineta." Mineta jumped up.
"Rikido Sato" Rikido contributed.
"Tsuyu Asui, But you can call me Tsu." Tsuyu, remarked.
"The way you used your quirk was amazing!" Ashido praised. "You were running circles around those two, during your fights."
"You even gave them fair fights too." Kirishima added. "Real manly stuff."
"You didn't even break a sweat either." Sato pointed out.
"What else can you do with your quirk?" Mineta asked.
"Yeah! Come on, tell us." Mina pressed. "Can you make other weapons, and shoot out things like wind and rocks?"
"How many things can you make at once?" Hanta added.
"What's its weakness?" Tsu asked.
"Hey, hey hey." Sora spoke up. "One at a time. I can't answer all your questions if I don't know what you're asking."
This was definitely a much better day than yesterday. Sora was already making friends with about a third of the classroom in a day, and Izuku seemed to be as well. Sora was a bit worried that he'd have to watch Izuku a bit more closely, but with what happened today. Izuku might be fine, with this friendship circle, he had. Now Sora could focus on making friends here, without worrying about Izuku being a social outcast.
And here is a few of the things that have been changed. First off, Mezo and Team I actually get to have a proper battle, even though Sora pulled his punches. Secondly, Sora's 'quirk' is revealed to the class, by All Might. You can make your own commentary of his 'quirk' introduction, with a present Mic Voice in you head. Thirdly, Moogle is present and will help Sora as his Support Item Developer, basically giving Sora access to the Synthesis shop, and also giving him a guy who can patch up his clothes without going overboard. Fourthly, Sora is going to start making his own friends, since Izuku has already gotten quite a few, now. And lastly, All Might cut it even closer than last time. Now that this is taken care of, I'm gonna take a nap. Until I decide to upload again. ;)
