Chapter 78
[Silence]
Sora woke up to a faint light shining in his eyes. He yawned before sitting up and stretching his arms out. "Good morning." He said on instinct, thinking that he was in the Midoriya household for a moment, before his vision cleared up and he realized that he was not there. "Oh, yeah. Dorm room." He got up, got dressed in the gym outfit, opened his door, and made his way to the boys restroom to get ready for the day.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Bright and Cheerfully]
On his way there, he heard a door open behind him on the first floor and saw who came out of it. "Oh, hey. Good morning, Izuku."
"Huh?" Midoriya turned to see the Keyblade wielder. "Oh, good morning, Sora. Are you heading to the restroom too?"
"Yep." Sora confirmed.
The two of them then made their way there together, where they saw Tenya there already, who while brushing his teeth, gave them a greeting nod, that the two nodded back to, before they began to brush their own teeth. The three of them were soon joined by Shoto and Mashirao, before they finished cleaning their teeth and let some other guys use their mirrors to get themselves ready.
The guys then made their way to the main lounge area, and some of the girls arrived as well. The groups each decided to make their own breakfasts, be it cooking it on their own, heating up some pre prepped food in containers, or just having a quick snack that didn't need to be cooked or heated at all.
Most of the students hung out and talked while they ate, and some preferred to eat alone. Regardless of the preference, everyone had their breakfast and soon made their way to their dressing rooms, got into school uniforms, left the Dormitory, and prepared to start the school day, walking towards U.A. High as a class, along with the many other students in their respective dorms.
[Silence]
As school started, Class 1-A was with their homeroom teacher who got straight to the point, like always. "I believe I mentioned this already, but your main focus this summer is obtaining Provisional Hero Licenses."
"Yes, sir." The entire class replied in unison.
"Do not take this lightly." Aizawa warned. "A Hero License means that you are responsible for human lives. You can imagine that the exam to receive one is very difficult. Only 50% of students pass the tests required for one each year."
"It's that hard to get a Provisional License?" Minoru questioned.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Cavalry Battle]
"In order to prepare, today you'll concentrate on creating something new." Aizawa stated. The door to their classroom then opened and in came Midnight, Ectoplasm and Cementoss. "At least two Ultimate Moves."
"Ultimate moves!?" Mina and Denki exclaimed. "An exam is a normal school thing!"
"But this is total Hero work!" Ejiro and Hanta joined in.
Most of the students could barely hold back their excitement as making Ultimate moves was honestly really cool. Ectoplasm then spoke up. "When we say Ultimate. We mean a move that will ensure that you win against your opponent."
"An action so unique to your identity, that no other person could ever hope to copy it." Cemantoss added. "Simply put, you must learn to lean into your strengths."
"Your moves represent who you are." Midnight stated. "These days, most Pro Heroes have an ultimate move. Those who don't are fools."
"This may sound abstract, but we'll explain more as the day goes on." Aizawa said. "For now, change into your costumes and meet in Gym Gamma."
Soon after the students were in their costumes and at their location, The 1-A Homeroom teacher explained what this place was. "Gym Gamma, also known at the academy as 'The training dining land'. Or T.D.L." Most of the students weren't impressed with that acronym.
Cementoss then took over and began to use his powers. "This facility was my idea. We could prepare unique terrains and obstacles for each student here. Here you will learn to serve up justice, hence the name."
"That's pretty cool." Kaminari admitted.
Iida then raised his hand. "Please allow me a question! What is the advantage of having Ultimate moves for our Provisional Exam!? May we know your reasoning!?"
"That's two questions." Aizawa pointed out. "Calm down." He then gave an answer. "The job of a Hero is to save people from all sorts of dangers. Crime, accidents and natural or man made disasters. Of course the Licensing Exam analyzes how well you are able to deal with such things. It won't just be fighting. Your ability to gather information and make quick decisions will be judged. In addition to how well you communicate, cooperate and lead others. Every year, a new test is used to evaluate these qualities."
"One thing is especially important." Midnight stepped in. "If you want to be a Pro Hero, you must be able to prevail in battle. If you're prepared, you won't have to worry, and those of you with an ultimate move will have stronger results."
"Your circumstances should not dictate the results of your future battles." Cementoss spoke up next. "Learn to be consistent and you will be a great asset on the front lines."
"Your Ultimate Move doesn't necessarily have to be an attack." Ectoplasm pointed out. "Take Iida's Recipro Burst, for example. This sort of temporary boost in speed is valuable enough that it falls into the category of excellence we're looking for."
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Symbol of Peace]
Tenya was moved to tears. "So I've basically been doing an Ultimate Move all along?"
"So it's basically our secret technique." Rikido noted. "Something that gives us the edge against no matter who or what we're facing."
"There's a smart boy." Midnight replied. "For example, like how Kamui Woods is able to use his Lacquered Chain Prison to capture Villains in an instant. That's exactly what we want to see."
"Then I already have dozens of those." Sora silently realized, before remembering something. "But there are some moves that I know I can learn."
[Silence]
"The training camp was interrupted." Aizawa took over. "But the practice you did get in to develop your quirks was part of the process needed to create these defining abilities. Now that you're caught up..."
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Threat Incoming]
Cementoss created multiple obstructions and Ectoplasm made multiple clones of himself, while Aizawa continued speaking. "You'll be working hard to develop powerful moves of your own for the next ten days or so. This is how you will spend the remainder of your summer vacation. Prepare for intensive training. In addition, you should be thinking about how you can improve your costumes. Especially now that you have a better understanding of your quirks. I expect each of you to go Plus Ultra. Do you have it in you?"
Some of the students grinned, accepting the challenge, while others looked more serious and determined, knowing that this won't be easy, but nevertheless, everyone was ready to begin this trail. "Yes sir." All of them said in unison.
"I am so charged up for this." Denki commented.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST U.A. Highschool Support Department]
And just like that, everyone spread out. Starting their training for the development of their Ultimate Moves. Some were already struggling, like Mashirao, who got knocked to the ground by the clone he was practicing on. "It's obvious you rely too much on your tail." The clone pointed out. "Let's reexamine the basics of how you fight."
"Yes sir." Ojiro replied.
Others like Ashido already had ideas. "Ultimate Move! Shooting acid from my hands!" She cupped her hands together like she was going to throw out a fireball before thrusting them forward and letting out flow of acid, that didn't really get far. "Super Geyser! What do you think?"
The clone next to her gave her a tip. "If you're going to go that route, make a nozzle with your fingers to increase aim and reach." She did as instructed as he watched. "Yes, like that. Go."
Mina tried again and this time she not only shot her acid much further, but it was much more precise. "Oh crap! That's totally awesome!"
"Now let's focus on increasing the potency of your acid."
Some students, like Momo, were given starting points to work with. Her clone gave her this order to start. "Two creations at the same time. You may start with something simple."
"Yes, sir." Yaoyorozu said, before taking a deep breath and creating two metal rods at the same time, each coming out of her arms.
Regardless of the progress, everyone was doing something to try and improve. Everyone, that is, except for Midoriya, who got hit in the head for looking at everyone else. "Why are you staring off into space?" His clone questioned.
"Oh, um...about the moves we're coming up with. See..." Izuku then explained his situation. "If I put too much power into my arms, then I won't be able to use them anymore. I'll break them. So I don't know what a special attack of mine would even look like."
"Hmm." The clone saw that dilemma. "It's true that your quirk is interesting. Not exactly one that we call consistent. If you don't have a fixed attack style yet, then let's focus on developing your power."
"Yes, sir." Midoriya understood.
[Silence]
As the students were getting into it, another teacher arrived. "Everyone's working hard huh?" Yagi spoke up, as he entered the building.
"All Might?" Aizawa realized.
"Yeah, I am here." Toshinori then buffed up. "BECAUSE I HAVE THE DAY OFF AND I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO! HA..."
"Will you please focus on recuperating, and lesson planning?" Aizawa replied.
Yagi debuffed and responded to Aizawa. "Hey, why the cold reception? They're working their big moves now, right? There's no way I could miss being here for this. I'm still a U.A. Teacher, you know."
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Nevertheless Go Beyond]
As Toshinori noticed Izuku struggling, he couldn't help but hear and see Katsuki excelling in this as he blew up his clone with ease. "It;s been a while since I was able to really let loose. Ectoplasm! I killed mine! Gimme another one!"
"That boy is incredible." Yagi admitted.
"Yes." Aizawa agreed. "And He'll get even stronger in the future."
As another clone was made for him, Bakugo once again let loose and blew the clone to hell. Other students noticed this while they were training. "Look at that!" Ochako said while floating upside down. "Bakugo's going hardcore!"
"I bet he's got a ton of ideas for special moves already." Sato said while stuffing his face.
"He's been planning this stuff since the entrance exam." Toru pointed out.
"Just so you guys know, I had thought up 'Grape Rush' when I was a kid." Mineta bragged.
"I mean, we all thought about it before, right?" Denki pointed out. "I used to imagine wielding a lightning sword. I'm getting hyped up just thinking about doing something that cool in real life!"
And then there was Sora, who also had disposed of his clone pretty efficiently as well. "And that's another clone down. Mr. Ectoplasm, sir!? I need another clone again!"
As another clone was being made for the Keyblade wielder, he rested Oathkeeper on his shoulders and looked at the chain on the end of the hilt. "Maybe I should try learning how to do that? But how? Nobody here is a Keyblade Master, who could show me how to do it."
Meanwhile, Yagi went to Izuku. "Hey."
Midoriya was surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"I've come with advice." Toshinori replied, before giving said advice. "Think for yourself. You're still trying to imitate me."
"Oh...I guess I...didn't..." The boy responded.
Yagi then went to the next closest student. "Yo, Young Kirishima."
"Hey, All Might!" Ejiro replied.
"I've got some wisdom to lay down on you." The former Pro said before approaching him. "So, instead of going for some small tricks with your hardening, try being a bulldozer."
"Yes sir." Kirishima got the idea.
After giving that advice, he went to the next student he could see. "Young Jiro. Listen up, I have a few things that might help you."
As Aizawa was honestly surprised with how suddenly good at teaching Toshinori was, he soon noticed that in the back of the former Number 1 Hero's pocket was a manual on how to teach.
[Silence]
As Yagi gave his advice to Kyouka, he moved on to the next student he saw. "Young Sora."
[Play KH3 OST Heroes' Gathering]
"Huh?" The Keyblade wielder stopped what he was doing and looked to see Toshinori approaching him. "Oh! Hey! What's up, Ya...I mean, All Might?"
Yagi reached his spot and then quietly spoke up. "How's progress going on your spells?"
"Could be better. I can cast more of them, but the power is still the same." Sora replied.
"Okay, then what about summoning other things?" Toshinori asked.
"Still figuring out how to get that back too." The Keyblade wielder said.
"Hmm. Well, how did you obtain and improve those powers before?" Yagi asked.
"Well, I usually ended up improving it by working with something or someone that had powers similar to it." Sora explained.
"Ok then. So do that." Toshinori suggested.
"Say what now?" The Keyblade wielder replied.
"Ok. Let's try this. Pick between these three. Fire, Blizzard, Thunder." The former Pro Hero said. "Give me an answer. Right now, which one?"
"Deh, uh...Thunder?" Sora was confused.
"Ok. Follow me." Toshinori gestured, which the Keyblade wielder complied. The pair soon reached Denki. "Young Kaminari, I've got an idea that I'd like you to try out."
"Oh yeah! Advice from All Might! Lay it on me, big guy!" Denki was excited to receive some advice.
"Alright. I want you and Young Sora to both put your electricity powers together." Yagi explained.
[Silence]
The two of them looked at eachother, before looking back at Toshinori. "HUH?!" They both exclaimed.
"You said it yourself, Young Sora." The former Pro Hero pointed out. "You improve your abilities by working in tandem with someone who has similar abilities. So why don't you both, channel your powers into your blade and see what happens?"
"Like, an Ultimate Combo!?" Kaminari realized. "I thought that we were working on our own ultimate moves though?"
"Who says that you can't do team ups?" Yagi pointed out. "Besides. Quirk compatibility can also help strengthen your own powers and help you better understand your quirks even more, right?"
"I guess that's true..." Sora agreed with that. "I mean, if it works, we'll both improve our powers, and technically we'll have made an Ultimate move..."
"I'm down if you're down, Sora." The electric student said.
The Keyblade wielder thought about it before glowing blue around his body with flowmotion. "Grab the hilt of Oathkeeper and start channeling your powers, Denki."
"Oh man. This is gonna be so awesome!" Kaminari was excited as he began to glow yellow with his electric quirk.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST HERE]
The Electric student grabbed Sora's weapon by the hilt with his left hand, and the two of them held it together. As the pair did, the blade began to take in the power and started to shake, as if it was getting shocked by the electrical power. "Whoa!" Both boys uttered at the same time before they both grabbed the hilt with their other hands, and struggled to keep the blade from flying out of their hands.
"Are we doing it right?!" Denki wondered.
"We're doing something!" Sora replied, unsure if this was actually going to work. "Try giving it more juice!"
"You sure?!" Kaminari questioned.
"I'm sure!" The Keyblade wielder answered.
The electric student did as requested and upped the voltage. Upon doing so, Oathkeeper began to glow yellow and emit electricity all around it. "Oh man! Lightning sword!"
A few of the students and the teachers that could see, all took notice of the pair working together and were curious to see what was going to happen.
"We're not done yet!" Sora reminded him. "Pour everything into it! I'll keep it channeled into the blade!"
"Got it!" Denki replied before adding even more voltage into the blade. As he did, the pair both began to glow blue as Sora put his flowmotion around Kaminari to get a better grip on the near overflowing electrical current passing through the both of them at this moment, as well as to contain the voltage and not let it spill everywhere. "Here we go! Here's all 2 million volts!"
The pair soon erupted with electrical powers, hovering in the air for a brief moment before descending to the ground, with a golden yellow electrically powered Oathkeeper, and the two of them both glowing that same golden yellow aura, with the blue flowmotion aura on top of that golden glow, preventing the electrical currents flowing through them from exploding around them and harming anyone close. "What the heck..." Sora felt so strong at this moment.
"Holy crap!" Kaminari also felt this overflowing power.
"Whoa..." Even Yagi was impressed, before he snapped out of it. "That's it! Now release that power!"
The two of them struggled really hard, both of them holding Oathkeeper in their hands, before Sora let his left hand go and Kaminari let his right hand go, allowing the pair to get shoulder to shoulder with the blade. "HNNNNNNNG!...Denki!...Thrust forward...with me...on three!...Got it!?"
"NNNNG!...Got it!" Kaminari answered, barely managing to keep himself from short circuiting.
"One!..." The pair both took a step back. "...Two!..." The pair pulled Oathkeeper back and aimed forward and diagonally upward. "...THREE!" The pair thrusted forward.
As the blade thrust forward, the surge of electrical power was released as the tip of the blaze and came bursting out as a massive wave of electricity that rivaled that of a Thundaza spell, shattering through the cement in front of them, as well as everything else past that. It was so bright, that the light around the pair looked like it had dimmed briefly from the sudden brightness of their thunder blast. However the force of the attack also knocked the two of them flat on their backs and made them slide on the ground for a moment.
[Silence]
"WHOA!" Kirishima exclaimed.
"Did you see that?!" Sero said.
"Holy cow! That was awesome!" Mina cheered.
"Those two put together their powers in order to make an Ultimate Move?" Tsuyu realized.
"What the hell?!" Katsuki was taken aback by the sudden destruction that just happened.
Denki and Sora both groaned before getting up. The electric student was the first to see the results of their new move. "Eh...wha?...H-H-Holy crap."
Sora then noticed the aftermath as well. "Oh jeez." The two of them could see a large hole carved in the cement in front of them, as well as in the next four erupted cement barriers past that...and the roof.
"That...was...SO...COOL!" Kaminari cheered. "I've never been able to guide my lightning like that! And I've never been able to go that high without shorting out! Now THAT is an Ultimate Move! What should we call that?"
Sora was still processing what he just did at the moment and didn't hear what Denki had said. "Sorry, what?"
"I said, what do we call that?" Kaminari repeated. "You can't tell me that wasn't clearly an Ultimate Move."
"Sorry. I'm just...still surprised that we did THAT." The Keyblade wielder said.
"Ok. I was expecting you two to do something big." Yagi said as he approached the pair. "But I wasn't expecting THAT big. You definitely took that Plus Ultra mentality to heart."
"Let's dial it back down, before you accidentally injure someone or destroy the building!" Aizawa recommended them.
Toshinori helped each boy up, before speaking to Sora. "Ok. So, how was that? You think that was enough exposure?"
"I...duhhhhh...maybe?" The Keyblade wielder honestly didn't know.
"Cast the strongest Thunder you can right now. See if it got better." Yagi instructed.
"Um...okay." Sora decided to do as instructed. He poured his magic into the Oathkeeper once more and casted his thunder magic. This time though, instead of just one bolt of electricity, he ended up summoning three at the same time. "Wha?! Wait! That was Thundara!"
"So it worked?" Toshinori guessed.
"I can't believe it!" The Keyblade wielder was stunned. Not only did he just get Thundara back, but he also made a new Ultimate move, by teaming up with one of his classmates to do it. "Ok. So in order for me to get stronger, I have to make an Ultimate Combo with someone using the power I want to improve on? That's awesome!" He tried to take a step forward, but stumbled a bit before falling back down. "Ok. That's new."
"Give yourself a minute to rest." Yagi recommended. "You did just go beyond your normal limits."
Sora nodded to that. "Got it."
"After that...I guess practice your thunder now, since you just got a new level on it to work with." Toshinori said before leaving the Keyblade wielder to do his thing.
As Sora tried and failed to push himself back to his feet, Denki got up and spoke up again. "I still want to know what we should name that, Sora."
"How much power went through us at that point?" The Keyblade wielder asked.
"I dunno. I couldn't really put a number on our voltage." Kaminari said.
"Well then, how much stronger did you feel?" Sora wondered.
"Hmm...well it was more than double. Maybe three times stronger than normal." Denki guessed.
"And your highest was like 1.3 million volts right." The Guardian of Light pointed out.
"Two Million if I really go all out." Kaminari answered.
"So then, it's that, times three." Sora stated.
"Six million volts?!" The electric student realized.
"Add 'burst' at the end of that number and we'll call it that." The Keyblade wielder suggested.
"So, it'll be called 'Six Million Volt Burst'?" Denki repeated.
"If it sounds good to you." Sora said, willing to let him decide.
"Hmm...I like it. Yeah, we'll call it that!" Kaminari was with it.
"Good, now help me up please." The Keyblade wielder requested.
"Oh, yeah. Sure thing, man." Denki pulled Sora off the ground. "Let me know if you ever want to practice that again."
"I'll let you know." Sora replied before walking away from Kaminari, back to where he was originally training. After that, the training went on like normal for the rest of the school day.
When the last class for the day was done, Aizawa had one final thing to say to the students involving their potential to make improvements. "Regarding your costume improvements, once you've figured out if anything needs to change, head to the Development Studio here. Giet the experts here to help you out and give suggestions. They'll know what to do."
[Play KH3 OST Monstropolis Now]
That last bit had actually reminded the Keyblade wielder of something he needed to do, but it was more to do with a specific person who is usually working in that room, rather than him needing a particular adjustment to his clothes. Once the class was dismissed for the rest of the day, he went straight for the Development Studio, but as he walked there, he heard footsteps behind him and turned to see who was following him. As he turned, he felt that person bump into him. "Sorry." the green haired boy apologized.
"No biggie, Izuku." Sora knew who it was. "Just try not to walk so closely behind me next time."
"Y-Yeah." Midoriya replied. "So, are you heading to the Development Studio too?"
"Yep. Needed to talk to Moogle about something we had planned after school." The Keyblade wielder said. "What about you?"
"Oh, I was going to ask Mr. Power Loader if he could make alterations to my costume." Izuku explained. "I want to see if there's any way that he could find a way to modify it so that the stress that my ligaments go through could be minimized."
"I didn't fully understand what you said, but I'm just gonna guess that you want to make it so that you can not hurt yourself as badly when you go all out with your quirk." Sora essentially summarized.
"W-well, yeah. Basically." Midoriya confirmed.
The Keyblade wielder chuckled before walking alongside his friend towards their destination, but not before cracking a joke. "Don't worry. I'll eventually be able to understand all those big words. Then all I'll have to worry about is your motor mouth."
The One For All user sighed. "Yeah." earning another chuckle from Sora.
[Silence]
Once the two reached the studio, The Keyblade wielder put his hand on the door and was about to open it, but then heard another familiar voice. "Oh, Sora! Deku! Hey there!" It was Ochako, who saw the pair and quickly went towards them. "I was just wondering where you two were!"
"Don't run in the hall!" Tenya's voice rang out as he was behind her.
"You here for costume improvements too?" Uraraka asked the pair she was running towards, seeming to not hear her Class rep's words.
"Hey Ocha..." Sora was interrupted when a sudden explosion erupted from the Development Studio doors when he opened it up, blasting him, Midoriya and someone else back into the halls.
The two 1-A students that were physically unaffected from the explosion looked extremely shocked and concerned for their friends' state, but also were frozen in place as they just witnessed a literal explosion happen a few yards in front of them.
Sora felt his head stuck in between two things. The back of his head was on what was most likely Izuku's chest, as he felt his back pressed on someone's stomach, crotch and legs. But there was also something pressed on the Keyblade wielder's face. Something soft and round, rather two things that were soft and round. He could feel what was most likely a sweater in between the soft round things on his face, but that didn't really help him in this without a doubt extremely awkward situation. "Ow ow ow ow ow ow owww" And considering whose voice he just heard and where he heard it from, he had an idea of what was being pressed against his face.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST I'll Become A Hero]
Coughing was heard from inside the studio and both Moogle and Power Loader were seen, the latter speaking up first. "You know, you shouldn't try to mix everything you can find in the lab together like that!"
Moogle gasped for air. "Oh, god, Kupo. I'm never letting you touch my synthesis equipment, Kupo."
Mei's voice could be heard in the smoke outside the studio as she giggled and replied to the pair. "Failure is the mother of invention, Mr. Power Loader. Thomas Edison said something like that once."
"You mean..." Moogle began before he coughed. "You mean 'I haven't failed. I just found 10,000 ways it won't work', Kupo?"
"Yeah!" Hatsume replied before coughing again. "Even if something I make doesn't work like I've envisioned it, that doesn't mean it's a waste of time."
"You almost blew up the entire design studio!" Power Loader exclaimed as the smoke started to clear.
"The same studio that other people work in, Kupo!" Moogle added.
"Will you please open up your ears and listen for once, Hatsume?!" Both of them said at once, with Moogle adding his "Kupo" at the end like he always does.
Mei then noticed that she was on top of at least one person. "Hey, when did you get here?" She looked at Midoriya.
When he came too Izuku looked to see Hatsume's, chest close to him, but then also noticed what was between her chest and his. As the smoke was almost completely gone, everyone else, except Mei had also noticed who was being smothered between their chests.
[Silence]
Midoriya and Uraraka had the same speechless and mortified looks on their faces. Iida looked annoyed at seeing Hatsume again, and equally annoyed that she had his friends in such deplorable positions on the floor. Moogle and Power Loader looked disappointed at Mei's lack of spatial awareness, and Sora's face was blocked off by Hatsume's boobs, so nobody knew what face he had on, though they could hazard a guess.
The Keyblade wielder's voice then was heard, but muffled by the breasts as he replied to her question. "Just now."
"Huh?" The Support course student heard his voice, but didn't see him, until she sat up and noticed Sora's head on Midoriya's chest.
"Hi, Mei." The boy said.
"Sora!" Hatsume pulled him in again and hugged his head, practically smearing it between her breasts. "So good to see you again! I hope you have time to help with testing more of my babies again! I've already made enough to cover a whole week's worth of trial runs!"
Sora managed to get his arms up from under Mei's body, grasp her shoulders and with some effort, push her off of him, allowing him to breathe. "At least let me get up before you squeeze me."
"Oh, sure thing." Hatsume said as she stood up. "Sorry about the sudden explosion." She then noticed the other students, as Sora was helping one of them up to their feet. "It's been a while, huh, Class 1-A right?" She seemed to recognize them. "Uhh...yeah I forgot all your names already."
"Uh...Izuku...Midoriya." The One For All user introduced himself, a bit flustered from having her chest close to his face, though nowhere near as close as Sora's was.
As Ochako was looking at Izuku with a blank expression, Sora, who had already gotten over the awkward situation he had just been through, introduced her to Mei. "The girl is Ochako Uraraka."
"I'm Tenya Iida!" The Class rep angrily spoke to her. "The class rep to the students that you nearly blew up just now!"
"Never heard of ya!" Hatsume immediately responded to the angry classmate before walking back towards the studio. "Well, I'm busy developing some new babies so byyyye!"
Midoriya then spoke up, snapping out of his state. "W-Wait a second please! I wanted to ask Mr. Power Loader about improving elements to my costume?"
"Uh oh." Sora just realized what pit his friend just dug himself into.
"WHA-WHA-WHAAAAT!?" Mei snapped back to him and got very in his face. "YOU CAN COUNT ME IN!"
"HATSUME!" Power Loader practically screamed at her to get her attention. "It's fine for you to be in and out of the studio all day, since you're in the dorms, but if you stop following my instructions and keep running wild in here, you're banned."
"You better listen to him, Kupo." Moogle chimed in. "Just because you and I can work together doesn't mean that I won't stop him from kicking you out, Kupo."
That got her to back down, and then Izuku meekly spoke to them. "Um...Hello."
"I heard from Eraser Head that you're here to upgrade those costumes for your new moves, yes? Come in." Power Loader let them enter.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST U.A. Corridors]
All but two entered the studio, and as the others began talking about the way that the Support Course handled Hero Course costumes, Moogle spoke to Sora. "I know you're not here for a costume update, Kupo. Just hanging out with your friends after school, Kupo?"
"Actually, I came to ask when you wanted to start the Data thing we talked about." The Keyblade wielder reminded him.
"Right, that, Kupo." The merchant then poked his head into the studio and spoke up. "Yo, Maijima, Kupo. I'm gonna be heading out to help Sora with something, Kupo. Make sure Hatsume doesn't touch my stuff, Kupo."
"Got it. Good luck with whatever you're helping him with." Power Loader replied.
[Play KH3 Re Mind OST Cavern of Remembrance]
The two offworlders then left the studio area and began making their way to the Monetary room that housed the Datascape that Moogle updated. After a good long walk, or in Moogle's case float, the pair reached the Monetary room and the merchant began to power it up. "Alright, Kupo. I got it set up so that the data replica is just as strong as the real one was when you fought him back at Kamino Ward, Kupo."
"So it'll be like I'm actually fighting him?" Sora asked.
"The only difference will be that if you start to get thrashed around with no hope of recovering, I'm going to pull you out and make you heal yourself, before we go at it again, Kupo." Moogle explained.
"That's gonna happen a lot, isn't it." The Keyblade wielder already knew the answer to that.
"Considering what happened there, probably, Kupo. We'll stop when you've had enough or manage to beat him, Kupo." Moogle started the machine up. "You ready, Kupo?"
Sora took a deep breath in, then exhaled, before walking onto the platform and letting himself get transported into the datascape once more.
[Play KH Re:Coded OST Inside of Riku]
When Sora entered the datascape, all he saw was numbers at the moment, but after about ten seconds of numbers flashing all around him, the datascape began to take shape into a location that he was familiar with.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Vanguard Action Squad -Darkness-]
The location was Kamino Ward, specifically the destroyed section where he had slammed Vanitas through a building and let it topple on him. After a few seconds of taking in where he was, he could hear something being formed behind him, then soon after felt a very powerful dark presence behind him. Sora turned around and saw Vanitas, updated to look like how he is now, practically radiating dark energy from his body, with Void Gear in hand.
The Guardian of Light summoned Oblivion and took his battle stance, while the Dark Remnant took his. "I've been waiting for this." The data replica said with malicious intent in his tone of voice.
"Me too, Vanitas." Sora replied, sounding bitter, before the two charged towards each other.
Meanwhile in the real world, deep within a remote forest, pillars of smoke could be seen scattered about the treeline. Their point of origin, blazing fires that slowly began to burn away at the trees that fueled their inferno. Sitting close by one of these burning plants was Vanitas, who simply watched the inferno with his cracked mask on. He seemed satisfied with what he had just recently done to this place, and the Heartless that previously inhabited it.
A purple void appeared near the dark Keyblade wielder's location, and Vanitas knew who that was. "I see that you're awake again. Kurogiri."
The void Villain appeared out of his portal and replied to the boy. "And I see that you have been busy here, Vanitas."
The Dark Remnant smiled under his mask. "Just wanted to get a feel for my improved powerset."
"How much stronger are you now?" Kurogiri wondered.
"Oh I'm much stronger now." Vanitas boasted, before placing his fingers on the small crack on his mask. "But not strong enough, if I can still receive even a crack of damage."
The void Villain then opened up another portal. "Then It would be wise to regroup, and recuperate. There's no point in flaunting that new power at anything less than whatever requires it."
Vanitas smirked. "As long as Shigaraki doesn't annoy me, I won't go anywhere?" He then stepped through the portal, leaving the trees to burn away, and for the remaining Heartless to eventually once again repopulate over time.
Hey everyone. Been a while, huh? I finally got back into the MHA mood again, and because of that, I could finally finish this chapter. So yeah, Sora's abilities will now be getting improved upon, based on who in his class he comes up with Ultimate Combos with. I already have a good few others thought up (1 for Tenya, 2 for Shoto, 1 for Momo, 1 for Mina, 1 for Katsuki, 1 for Kyouka, 1 for Ochako, 3 for Fumikage, 1 for Yuga, and 1 for Asui.), but I wouldn't mind any creative minds in my reviews giving me some potential ideas. The only criteria it needs to meet is that Sora has to take an ability he already has and then apply it with someone else's quirk, allowing him to amplify it and create a damn near unstoppable, or extremely cool looking attack. Like 'Six Million Volt Burst'. So yeah, this part of the story will be padded out, both for Sora needing to get himself to the next level, like the rest of 1-A, and also to do the other school Briefs chapters, as they technically take place before the Provisional License Exam. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and until I decide to upload again. :)
