Huh they took my advice after all.

"Whoa, now that's amazing, it doesn't cover much anymore." Ochako was looking at Momo's new outfit. It was like her leotard but now it had sleeves and pants, the material was red and very thin, there were plates of armour on her shoulders and shins, she got rid of her book and had a small screen on her wrist, she even wore a yellowish visor over her eyes.

"Melissa helped me with the costume, Midoriya actually told me that there was a way to create a fabric out of my hair and some of my skin tissue, Melissa was able to make it so that my costume doesn't rip from my creations and the small device is to replace my book and make it easier for me to search." Momo explained and gave me a smile.

"Melissa helped me by making this stealth suit!" Toru waved her arms, the suit was a light grey spandex with boots that didn't make any sound with any step she took. "It can turn invisible when I need it to, the boots make me as quiet as a mouse!" She jumped and giggled. "And it's waterproof!"

Kaminari smiled, "Wow your costumes look awesome, maybe I should get upgrades myself."

Sato blinked and pointed to one of the pipes, "Hey isn't that All Might standing there?" All of us turned to see All Might in his buff form hiding behind a pipe, shaking in fear.

"H-HELLO STUDENTS!" He stuttered and hid again.

I frowned, what could scare the number one hero so bad?

"Okay, enough lollygagging, today, you'll be playing a game of hide and seek, in this game, you have to reach the finish line before your chaser catches you." Mr. Aizawa explains. Sero looked around, "Wait, Chaser? As in one?"

Mina raised her hand, "Where's the veteran?" She asked. Aizawa stepped aside and my heart dropped.

Behind him, was Gran Torino, he looked to be in senile mode. "Ah hello there."

I looked in fear, I respected the man greatly for his dedication to being a hero at such an old age, but he was a scary guy.

Bakugo growled, "The fuck is this, I thought we would be getting a veteran pro hero, NOT A GRANDPA!" "Umm sir, is this wise?" Tsu asked, raising her hand.

"Don't judge a book by it's cover, you all have 10 minutes to escape him, if he tags you, you're out." I swore that I could see the cruel grin on his face.

Ochako looked at me, noticing my stiffened state. "Deku, are you-" Before she could finish, I aimed and shot an air bullet at Gran Torino, causing the old man to disappear in a gust of wind. "DON'T THINK, RUN!" I screamed and used black whip to swing away.

Everyone looked shocked and then, it started.

"AH!" "GAH" "OWIE!" In 5 seconds, Koda, Toru and Aoyama were knocked down by a small fast object.

Aizawa smirked, "Your ten minutes have already started, get going." Everyone was knocked out of their stunned states and scrambled away, Momo created a grappling hook, Ochako, Jiro and Camie

grabbed on, Ochako made them both weightless and Momo grappled away, Iida ran using his turbo speed, Bakugo blasted into the sky, Kirishima ran after Bakugo, Mina skated away, Sato, Tokoyami, Shoji and Ojiro ran the same direction, Tsu hopped away as fast as she could and Denki hanged onto Sero as he swung on his tape and Todoroki used his ice to skate out.

"... Aizawa your evil…" All Might called out. "You're just mad because your old master kicked your ass the moment he saw you." Aizawa responded walking away, "Bring them to the finish line." He told the medbots as they picked up the unconscious students.

I jumped from pipe to pipe and used black whip to swing whenever I was too far from landing.

Nezu brought Gran Torino here? How was he able to convince the old pro… was it because I didn't go to him for my internship, well doesn't matter right now, just need to be sure that he doesn't catch me.

I stopped on top of the water tank and looked around… maybe I should add a cape to my costume, a white one… It would look cool.

I closed my eyes and I could hear the faint explosions in the distance. One of the things that was passed over from my old body was my keen sense of hearing, I sighed and twitched hearing sounds of air bursts.

My eyes snapped open and I leaned to the side, dodging Gran Torino, huh he wasn't going all out.

"Holding back old man?" I gave him a smile, he hovered in front of me with a smirk, "So your Toshinori's successor, I gotta say, I was disappointed to not have you come to internship with me, but seeing you handle One for All correctly I can understand the need to branch out." He charged at me again, but I jumped over his lunge and swung away.

I couldn't help the grin on my face, something about this was familiar. I charged up to 15% and jumped from pipe to pipe, I couldn't hear Gran Torino anymore so he must be going after another target.

I stumbled across medbots taking Kaminari and Shoji to the west. Poor guys… I went west and shot black whip behind me, stopping me in my tracks as Gran Torino shot up under where I was.

Our eyes locked.

Gran Torino's eyes widened as he could have sworn that he was looking at his old friend Nana, the kid had a smile that looked so similar and his eyes held the same warmth and kindness.

"You haven't changed a bit Sorahiko." Midoriya spoke as he landed and a look of confusion formed on his face.

Gran chuckled and flew away, "That boy…"

I landed on the platform that was supposed to be the finish line, I landed and saw almost all my classmates on the floor groaning in pain, some were unconscious, geez… that old man showed now mercy.

Mr. Aizawa and All Might were standing next to each other. All Might seemed to be muttering an apology...

Bakugo landed next to me and looked at all our classmates. "... Fucking extras.." I slapped him over the head. "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?!" He screamed at me.

Shoto came up next as did Ojiro, huh how did he evade the old man.

"Good work you four, you made it." Aizawa congratulated us. Gran Torino came up next to him, "Bah, these kids are too green!" The old man turned to All Might who flinched, "YOU COULDN'T TOUGHEN THEM UP MORE YOU BIG OAF?!"

"W-Well Sir you see I-" But All Might was cut off by boots to the face from his old master.

"The fuck is with that old man?" Bakugo asked, looking with a face of disbelief, Kirishima rubbed his stomach, "He was able to break through my hardening."

I snorted, "I'm not surprised, that's All Might's master." Some looked at me and then at the old man scolding the symbol of peace while Aizawa watched with twisted satisfaction.

"That man taught All Might?" Ojiro asked, stunned. "Wow… I feel honored to have my ass kicked by him." Kirishima said.

"He holds nothing back.." Momo held her stomach feeling sick.

I chuckled a bit as Aizawa dismissed us.

All Might walked past me, "Come to the lounge room, we need to have a talk." He told me, I blinked and looked at him as he and Gran Torino left.

At the locker room, I took off my gloves and suit, "Man today was tough, that old guy really had me going." Kirishima spoke up as he took off his hero costume.

"Shows us how much we need to improve." Iida said and held his side, "Though, the way they showed us was quite painful."

"Oui, I can see how training like that got All Might where he was today, in all his dazzling glory." Aoyama rubbed his sore stomach.

"You extras are pathetic." Bakugo took his mask off. "Bakugo." I called out, making said boy growl. "All you… need is…. More training." He gritted his teeth.

"Whoa dude, your taming the beast." Kaminari smirked, "Can he fetch and play dead too?" I raised an eyebrow and looked at Bakugo smirking.

"Why as a matter of fact he does." I said, Bakugo matching my smirk. "Fetch." I simply said. Kaminari's eyes widened as Bakugo stalked towards him, "Careful he bites~" I sang as I put on my shirt.

"Don't worry, this will be quick." Bakugo let out small explosives out of his palms as Kaminari whimpered.

"Midoriya!" Iida looked at me, "Relax, I'm not gonna let him blow up Kaminari." I waved Iida off, "Bakugo that's enough, remember Recovery Girl is still mad after you sent him to her office last time."

Bakugo stopped and looked at me, then back at Kaminari. "Your safe for now dunce face!" He walked back to his locker.

"Gotta admit, that was kinda funny." Sero commented laughing. I rolled my eyes and then spotted a hole, I sighed and knocked on the wall.

"Hey girls, found something here." I called out. "Is that a peeping hole?!" Jiro exclaimed, "Don't worry no one is looking through here." I assured them.

"I wouldn't mind if you took a peek~" Camie called, making me blush and look at the guys giving me smirks. "Momo… please patch the hole." I called. "Already done!" I sighed and walked past Bakugo smirking, "What are you smirking at, "Oh nothing, I think I'm gonna get a girlfriend before you."

"Oh shut up Bakugo and kiss Kirishima or something." I smirked seeing him turn red "THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!" I speed walked out before he could chase me down.

I walked to the lounge after a little incident in the locker room, long story short, a midget was found in the girl's locker room and I kicked his ass all the way to RG's clinic.

I walked up to the door and knocked. "Come in." I walked in to see All Might, he was in his skinny form and Gran Torino, sitting on the couch.

"Take a seat Young Midoriya." He offered, I took my seat and looked at the two.

"Your Toshinori's successor huh, I didn't think much of you when I first saw you, plain at most." Gran Torino spoke up, I felt my eye twitch in annoyance, it's always that one feature.

"But from what Toshinori told me, your handle on One for All has become even better than this oafs." He used his walking stick to point at All Might.

"Young Midoriya, how much can you use without breaking yourself?" All Might asked me, I hummed and cupped my chin.

"I think I can use 25% safely, but I can push it to 45 if I need to." I responded, All Might smiled, "That's great." Gran scoffed. "I'm not surprised, you have a small body, it'll take years before your body can handle the immense power."

"Actually One for All is changing my body little by little." I interjected, "What do you mean?" my mentor asked.

"I've used One for All a lot, I kept it one whenever I had the chance, kept it at a safe percentage, I started to notice that my body has become stronger as I keep using it over time." I explained, "When I first used my Delaware smash, my fingers became sore after using it 5 times, now I can use it 10 times."

"So your body is adapting to the quirk, great, I thought that I needed to teach you how to use it but seeing it now, I don't think it's necessary." Gran said, crossing his arms.

"... Toshinori also told me you spoke to Nana." His voice became softer, I nodded. "And today, you had the same look as she did."

I blinked, was that what happened, huh. "One for all must be leaking out some of her memories." I mumbled, "Well be careful, you don't want to have more then one set of memories." All Might warned me, yeah a little late for that All Might.

"Can you talk to them again?" Gran asked, I looked at them, "I… don't know, I never actually

tried." I rubbed the back of my head. "Maybe… I can try meditation while channeling One For All?" I suggested.

All Might and Gran Torino looked at each other then at me. "Well go for it, nothing to lose right?" Gran shrugged, I got on the floor and got into a lotus sitting position and closed my eyes, let One For All flow.

I could feel the power course through me, okay now, relax.

Clear my mind….

I opened my eyes and found myself in the vestige world.

"Huh I didn't think that would work." I commented and looked down, I was in my real body, I brushed my fingers against my black hair.

Strange, it's been a while since I've seen this part of me.

"Hello." I jumped and turned to see the first wielder of OFA. "Oh umm hi." I waved nervously, he gave me a soft smile. "Come on, the others are waiting." He started to walk into the abyss.

I followed after him, staying close so I won't fall… could I fall?

We arrived at an area with 8 thrones, two people were staring at the wall, the other users were seated, All Might's astral form was flickering.

"Hey kid." Nana waved with a smile, "It is a pleasure to meet you, I am Hikage Shinomori." Hikage Shinomori greeted, "Yo, you know me already kid!" Daijoro Banjo smiled with a peace sign.

"And I am En." The high collared user introduced himself. "Just En?" I asked with a tilt of my head, the man simply smiled.

"And I am Yoichi Shigaraki, the first." Yoichi sat down on his throne. I looked at the other two, the 2nd and 3rd users. "... They don't accept me, do they." I stated, Yoichi sighed, "They do not… but now we have something to discuss."

I looked at Yoichi, "Your future knowledge." The first user leaned back. "The information in your head is the key to a brighter future, you already changed so much from the canon timeline, we just need to be careful on how to use it."

"You guys seem very… relaxed about this information." I stated.

"We were surprised once we had access to your memories, we're over." Nana waved me off, "I'm not! I don't have a lot of screen time!" Daijoro complained.

"Back on track, the heroes lost the war because of Tomura gaining All For One and getting the support of the Meta Liberation army, we need to stop those events from happening." Hikage explained.

"I have a few ideas on how to go through with that but we need to wait until after the battle of Kamino." I responded, "You're gonna let that happen?" Yoichi asked in surprise. "It has to happen, if All Might beats All for One then Tomura will be on his own for a while." I explained.

"And the Yakuza?" En asked, "They need Eri for their plans, I have to keep her away, if I can take

them out before the battle of Kamino then we Tomura will be lost."

"You won't be able to do anything without a provisional hero license." Nana added. "... Crap." I sighed, "Well I'll figure it out as I go." I shook my head.

"Fine onto the next subject, we weren't planning on telling you this until you had more control but… I think you need to hear this." Hikage got up.

"I died at the age of forty, can you guess why?" I blinked at his question, "All For one found you?" I asked, "No, it was old age." he revealed.

"Wait what?!" I looked at the other users. "So One for All cuts the lifespan of the user?" I stopped myself, "Wait no, if that was the case then All Might wouldn't be alive."

"One for All has gotten too powerful for one person to bear, think of a person like a chalice, the One for All is the liquid, if the person already has something in the chalice, then it will overflow."

"So… it's because me and All Might were quirkless, we had nothing in our chalices and One for All became our real quirk." I put the pieces together.

Wait. "OCHAKO!" I exclaimed. "Oh man did I just shorten her lifespan?!" I paced in panic.

I was hit in the head by Hikage, "No you didn't you only transferred some of the power One for All had, she doesn't have the quirk, she's fine." The 4th user reassured me.

"Okay… that's good." I sighed in relief. "Wait… if I can transfer power to Ochako…" I looked at them, "I can transfer power to others!" I grinned widely.

"I can give them a boost in their quirks, make them stronger, prepare them!" I stopped, "I need to test it first, also I need to boost quirks with combat capabilities… umm no offence." I looked at the others.

"You have a point on the combat part, for what's to come we need to choose wisely." Yoichi said. "Still quirks aren't everything, remember that." Nana reminded me, "Heh, funny since a quirk is letting me talk to ghosts." I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"... So when are you planning on telling them?" Nana asked me, "Telling who?" I looked at the 7th.

"All Might, your mom, your friends, when will you tell them who you really are?" She asked, staring into my eyes into my soul.

I bit my lip and turned away. "I don't know if I will." I responded, "Why not?" She pressed.

I didn't answer, I kept my gaze fixed on the abyss.

"... you're afraid." Yoichi said getting up, "You're scared of them rejecting you."

Nana frowned, "That Bakugo kid already accepted you, I don't think Toshi will reject you." I clenched my fist. "... I think we're done here." I whispered and walked away.

"... Stay strong kid." Nana muttered as the area faded behind me.

I continued to walk, it wasn't easy, how would they react, Inko and All Might were different from Bakugo, I held my head. "I can't do it." I muttered.

D ̶̓̅ ̀̓̕͝ ͇̖o ̵͒͠ ̛͋̏̈́͝ ͗ ̉ ̀ ̇̒ ͠ ̹͔̫̤̥̜̂ ̢ ̖̣n̡ ̵̔̈̅ ͛͆ ͒ ̉ ̡̪̘͈̟̱̫̭̦̬ ' ̸ ̓̔̕ ̓̄̋ ̔̇̌ ͗̐̃ ̈́͑

I stopped and turned around, nothing but the black void.

I shook my head and slapped myself awake.

I opened my eyes to see the two looking at me with tea in their hands, the sun was setting now, "How long have I been out?" I asked, "Quite a while, 20 minutes?" All Might checked his watch.

"Did it work?" Gran Torino asked, "Yeah it worked." I got up. "What did they say?" I looked at them, "A lot of stuff…" I sat back down.

I decided to tell them about the users feeling that All for One is active.

I idly listened to the two as they talked, but I wasn't fully paying attention, what was on my mind was that voice, it was so familiar.

I looked out the window and watched the sunset.

"Young Midoriya." I turned to look at my mentor who looked at me worriedly.

"Are you okay?"

I faked a smile. "Yeah sorry what were you saying?"

Chapter Notes

See the end of the chapter for notes

Things went on as always, classes kept moving, midterms came and left.

"I DIDN'T STUDY FOR THE EXAMS!!!" Kaminari and Mina exclaimed, Mina had her hands behind her head and Kaminari looked panicked.

Tokoyami sighed, "It's been difficult with everything going on."

Camie sighed, "You know you could have used your free time at your internship to study." She leaned her head against her palm.

Camie: 6th Rank

"THE HECK, THE HOTTIE IS SMART TOO?" Kaminari was shocked and then yelped when Camie whacked him in the head, "Of course I'm smart, I'm not all looks and no brain!" She sounded offended.

I was writing on my black notebook, hmmm I might as well give some words of encouragement.

"Mina, Kaminari, I know that you can do your best and ace this exam." I gave them a smile, "YES PUT YOUR MIND TO IT THEN IT'LL BE POSSIBLE!" Iida agreed with me.

"How could you be failing if you're attending class…" Todoroki asked softly

Izuku: 2nd

Iida: 3rd

"LIKE YOU TWO GET TO TALK! YOUR IN THE TOP 3!!" Kaminari screeched.

I sighed a bit, this guy..

"If you two need help, I'll be happy to tutor you." Momo offered with a smile. I chuckled, count on Momo to swoop in to save the day, I had a lot of planning to do, but I couldn't do that if I'm flunking my exams.

I went back to my seat and put my black notebook away. "Ah Midoriya, if it isn't any problem I could use some assistance in tutoring." I turned to look at Momo, "Really, well, I don't know how I can help but sure I'll help." I agreed, smiling, not noticing her smile widening with red cheeks.

Ochako and Camie watched with jealousy in their eyes. "Umm Momo, could you help me too?" Ochako asked quickly.

"Yeah me too, I need help on heroic laws." Camie added, I picked up my bag.

"Text me the time and address, I'll be there." I left to get lunch. I had a craving for tuna.

I took a bite of my tuna with a smile, "What do you think the practical will be?" Ochako asked as she ate some rice.

"Maybe a mixture of what we learned in Heroics, but I'm not so sure." Tsu replied.

"I think that it will be a combination of all we learned just like the written exams, we just have to keep our wits about us and we will excel!" Iida boasted.

I chuckled, "With all this I-" I suddenly felt a presence behind me.

I leaned forward before someone tried to hit me in the back of my head.

"Wow what amazing reflexes." Monoma mocked as he held his tray with his… wine glass? "Monoma from class B!" Camie recognized him.

"I heard that you beat the hero killer, the sports festival wasn't enough wasn't it, you just had to take the spotlight, it must be getting pretty dangerous, Right?" His expression turned a bit dark.

Geez this guy was annoying.

Thankfully, Kendo dealt with him just fine, by chopping the back of his head. "Not funny, didn't you hear what happened to Iida, sorry about him Midoriya, he's just jealous of your fame." She told me.

I smiled. "It's no problem Kendo, oh and I saw your commercial with Uwabami, you looked amazing." I praised, causing her to blush. "T-thank you."

Everyone at the table looked at me, 'Does he know he's flirting?'

Kendo shook her head, her blush receding, "Anyway, I heard you guys talking about the practical, between you and me, I think it's a battle with the robots from the entrance exam." Kendo told us.

"Robots?" Ochako asked, "Yeah." The orange haired girl nodded. I couldn't help but laugh, Kendo looked at me, "Is something funny?" She asked.

"No, just a tip, don't believe everything you hear also, do you have your weak points covered?" I asked, taking a sip of my water.

Kendo blinked, "My weak points, why do you ask?" I smiled, "Well let's just say, we're gonna be up against certain… opponents that will make it hard for us." I continued to eat.

"Your hiding, typical of Class A to-GAK!" And like that Monoma was out. "Okay, well thanks for the tip… what's your source?" Kendo pressed. "A rat who teaches my baby sister." I revealed.

Kendo pursed her lip and left with Monoma in tow.

Everyone at the table was looking at me. "... Do you know what the practical exam is going to be?" Camie asked, I didn't answer.

"... Can you at least tell us what we can expect?" Ochako begged leaning forward, I smiled at her and poked her nose. "Boop."

Class ended and I walked out of the classroom smiling, hehe it was fun to mess with people.

Walking down the stairs spotted Bakugo, we stared at each other for a while and then he turned away… I don't honestly know what our relationship is right now, he avoids me like the plague, in hero basics he just blows me off when I try to help… what was with that.

Certain times, he goes with my jokes… but that's about it..

I sighed, was this gonna affect who was gonna be paired up with who?

I walked to find Momo waiting, "Oh Midoriya, I umm I have a time set, tomorrow at 2pm if that's alright with you?" She asked, "Ah, sure that'll be fine." I confirmed.

"Also ummm I was wondering if you had a preference for any dessert after the study session." She looked down shyly.

"Oh well, anything you have will be fine." I smiled. "Is there anything you'd like in particular?" She asked. "Oh umm well I like white and milk chocolate chip cookies." I muttered, rubbing the back of my neck.

"I can have some made!" She smiled, I will see you tomorrow!" She ran off, I blinked at that and looked down, should I let her down easy…

I sighed, another time, now was a time to focus.

I went to the Support Studio to talk to Melissa, I was about to knock but remembering my last experience coming here, I stepped aside and knocked.

The door opened and Melissa poked her head out. "Ah Midoriya, don't worry come in." She invited me in, I walked inside to see Hatsume sleeping on her desk, a dart sticking out of her arm.

"I made a tranquilizer gun, Power Loader approved, so what can I help you with?" She asked me with a smile.

"Well, I need to ask, what do you know about boosting quirks?" I asked, Melissa blinked, "I mean, I know of the illegal drugs… wait, you're not." I shook my head "No no, I mean the safe kind." I denied, I wasn't a drug user.

"Oh well, there are some support items that help quirks but not really boost them, why?" I bit my lip.

"Do you remember at the sports festival when I was struck with lightning, well when Ochako touched me as I was electrified, some of the power from my quirk transferred to her, the power boosted her quirk making it evolve, now she can control the gravity of objects, she still can use the old aspect of her quirk but now she can do more then before." I explained.

Melissa stared at me for a moment before she pushed me onto a chair. "Wait here!" She ran to her workbench and took out a strange device and placed it on the table next to me, she plugged in some cables and placed them in my hands.

"Okay now I want you to try and power the battery." She ordered. I nodded and activated OFA,

letting it sit at 20%, I tried to push energy into the cables, the device beeped a few times before it exploded. I jumped as the shrapnel flew.

Thankfully, Melissa wasn't hurt but she looked like she was shocked and very excited. "Oh my god… I have to talk to Uraraka!" She took out her notepad and wrote down notes. "So can also power devices, I have to tell dad!" She suddenly hugged me. "Thank you for telling me this Midoriya!" She pulls away with a wide grin. "This is huge… I have to wake up Mei!"

I was stuck there with two mad scientists until Power Loader came to save me, Melissa told me she wanted to work on this new quirk booster more later on.

I hoped I could do good with this.

The next day, I was walking to Momo's… house… mansion… Yeah her mansion, I had my bag ready with books to help with the tutoring, I found my classmates staring at the gate with wide eyes.

Ochako fainted but I caught her before she could hit the floor. "Hey guys." I greeted, "DUDE YAOYOROZU IS LOADED!!" Kaminari screeched, "Yeah… Let's go inside."

"Uuuugh." Ochako opened her eyes and blushed when she realized that she was caught by her crush. I looked at her and smiled, "You okay?" I asked.

Ochako jumped up. "FINE!" I chuckled and we went inside as the gates opened.

I rang the doorbell and Momo opened the door with a beaming smile, a bubbly aura surrounding her, "Oh your all here, come in!" She opened the door giddy gliding through the room.

We were in the… study hall, man how many rooms does this mansion have? Momo handed me a book, "We will be covering the basics first and then work our way up." She then ran to the door and brought in a trolly with some snacks, she took a basket with cookies and handed it to me, "For you and Eri." She smiled blushing.

"Aww thanks, Eri will love these, the girl has a sweet tooth." I took a bite and hummed in delight. "Great!" I praised, "Oh thank you." Momo beamed brighter.

"If you two are done flirting, can you pass the chips?" Mina smirked, we both blushed.

This was gonna be a long week...

Mina dragged me and the rest of the squad (Ochako, Camie, Iida and Kirishima) out to the city 2 days before the exams. "Come on! This new place opened up and I want us to try it!"

I rolled my eyes, classic Mina, "Hey don't roll your eyes at me mister, you're almost all work and no play!" "Because we need to study for the exams but I do agree, a break will do everyone good once in a while." I looked at Ochako, "Any idea where she's taking us?" I asked.

"No." She responded, I leaned in and whispered. "If she kills me, give all my possessions to Eri." I whisper, making her giggle. "HEY, IT'S A SURPRISE!" Mina pouted.

"Kidding!" I raised my hands in defeat. "AH here we are!" Mina ran up to a newly opened ice cream shop.

I blinked and looked at the others. "Well... at least we get icy treats for a hot sunny day." Iida spoke up as we went inside.

Mina was up front looking at the flavours available, wow so many. Ochako and Camie ran up next to her quite enticed by the wide range of flavours.

"Oh I'll have strawberry with sprinkles!" Ochako ordered.

"I'll have the rocky road." Camie added.

Mina hummed. "Ummm and I'll have the neapolitan!"

I looked at the guys, "Do all girls have sweet tooths?" I asked, "Probably." Kirishima shrugged and walked up to see what they had with Iida in tow.

I was about to join them but I bumped into someone, "Oh sorry about… that." I blinked as I looked down to see pinks and brown eyes looking up at me.

The girl was shorter than me…. Like way shorter, she had pink and brown hair and fair skin, she wore a white cropped wide, broad tailed jacket with a pink interior, collar, a single pink button and large pink cuffs. She wears brown pants with a dark belt that has a gray buckle and an additional narrow belt under it.

"Ummm… Are you okay?" I asked, the girl smirked and nodded. Oh god I wish I was wrong. Neopolitan simply put her hand on my chest and winked, she turned and walked away with an umbrella in hand.

Mina came up to me, "Hey Midori, do you wanna try some neapolitan?" She asked me, offering me her cone, I looked at the ice cream and back at the door where Neo left from. "...no." I want to get my order.

Ochako came up looking confused. "What's that about?" She asked, Mina shrugged.

I got myself a caramel ice cream and we left the ice cream shop, I finished my cone still thinking about Neo, how was she here, did she have a counterpart here, was she a criminal, was Roman here…

"Umm bro, what's that?" Kirishima asked, pointing at my back pocket. "What?" I checked and took out a card which had Neo's symbol with a phone number.

"..." I took a deep breath and pocketed the number. "Nothing… just nothing." I waved them off and we continued to walk, I caught a glimpse of her before she winked and shattered like glass.

…. Why can't things be simple.

Chapter Notes

See the end of the chapter for notes

Today was the day of the finals. The written exam was difficult but thanks to the study sessions, things were relatively easy. I can't say the same about the others though.

I was in the locker room, I was the only one there, I had a lot on my mind, but that needed to wait, now was the time to ace the exam.

If things go the way I think they'll go, me and Bakugo need to defeat All Might.

I sighed and put on my visor, I looked down at my costume, it hasn't changed much but there isn't much to change… Maybe later on.

I walked out after pressing the button on the side of my neck, letting my mask snap over my mouth. Game on.

I walked up to the line of teachers next to my classmates.

I looked at the rest of my classmates, I was here with these amazing future heroes. I felt a small tingle in the back of my head, I rubbed it as Principal Nezu popped out of Aizawa's scarf and started to explain what our exams were gonna be.

I looked at Camie, she would most likely be paired up with Sero against Midnight.

"Momo and Todoroki will be up against me." Aizawa smirked as he clutched his capture scarf. "And Midoriya and Bakugo will be against-" Nezu was cut off as All Might landed in front of us. "I AM HERE, TO FIGHT!" He announced.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at Bakugo who didn't look too happy to work with me.

"Now the ten stages have been set and all teams will begin simultaneously." Aizawa explained… wait what?

I looked surprised, I thought it was one by one… I guess that things will be different here.

The weights were still a factor, at least we had that.

The teams and their respective opponents walk to the buses. I walked up to Ochako and smiled. "Good luck." I told her, making her nod and smile nervously. "Thanks but… I should be the one saying that considering who you're facing." I walked to the bus with Bakugo in tow.

All Might got in the driver's seat and I sat next to Bakugo in the back.

I leaned in. "Any plans?" I whispered. The explosive blond shook his head. "Not yet…" I sighed. "Okay… we need to think of something." I looked at his gauntlets and grenades…

"How many of those do you have?" I asked. All Might looked from the rearview mirror and smiled a bit wider.

Momo looked at the gate leading into the small suburban area. Mr. Aizawa already explained and was giving them 10 minutes to plan. "Yaoyorozu, do you have a plan?" Todoroki asked.

Momo looked up. "I believe I do, the way to win is to run or defeat our opponent, I think we should run to the exit, if we were to encounter Mr. Aizawa, we need to blind him, I can make stun grenades for us to use to blind him, once we do, you can use your quirk to attack." Momo explained.

Todoroki blinked. "And what happens if he is able to capture one of us?" He asked, "Then we need to free the other." Momo spoke with confidence, she learned from her internship and from Izuku.

Brains can't win without some brawn to back it up and vice versa. During her time in the Fatgum agency, she learned to create items at a faster rate, but to also not discard them right after using, everything has value, make sure to use it to its full potential.

Todoroki nodded. "Okay, I suggest we use our quirks continuously to make sure that Mr. Aizawa is not in range."

"Agreed." She started to create stun grenades and handed 5 to Todoroki. "Hide them." She advised and created two knives in sheaths. "In case he uses his capture weapon." She handed him the knife.

Todoroki looked at it and wrapped it around his ankle. "What about you?" He asked, "I can handle myself." Momo gave him a look filled with determination. No longer would she be slow.

The monochromic boy simply stared at her, impressed with how much she thought ahead.

Ochako sighed and watched as Aoyama posed. "... Aoyama we need to plan." She called him over, which he did.

"Do you have a plan?" He asked with his usual twinkle.

"Yeah, Thirteen will use her quirk to try and trap us, but with my quirk I can probably get her from behind, if you can catch her off guard, I can cuff her." That was a plan Deku would think of… hopefully. Ochako looked at her teammate and blinked as he stared at her with a knowing smile… or just his regular smile.

"You're thinking of him are you?" Aoyama asked. "Midoriya." He leaned in, "Is it… because you like him?"

Ochako became redder than a tomato. "W-WHAT!" She put her hands on her cheeks and floated away.

Camie looked at Sero as they stood in front of the starting gate. "Any plan?" She asked, Sero

shook his head. "No… you?"

"No…" She sat on the floor. Midnight was the hero she interned with, she knew how that woman's quirk worked.

But how could she use her quirk against Midnight's.

Camie looked at Sero. "Midnight will come for you first." She claimed. "Because her quirk works on guys more effectively?" Sero asked. "Yeah… okay… I think I have something, we just need to be quick." Camie took a deep breath before putting on her mask. "Listen close."

Kaminari and Mina looked at the starting gate.

"... I don't think we should underestimate our Principal." Kaminari looked at the pink girl. "Yeah, I agree." Mina nodded. "With what Midoriya said, he can be pretty tough if he really puts his mind to it." She looked around and stepped back.

"Hey Kaminari, see that crane?" She pointed at the tall structure. Kaminari walked up next to her and saw it too.

"... Fight?" Kaminari smirked. "Oh yeah~" Mina grinned.

I started at the gate leading into the fake city and then to my teammate. "Okay, so we're good on the plan?" I asked Bakugo.

"Yeah, yeah, work together and win." Bakugo waved me off. "Bakugo, you do know why they put us together right?" I asked with a stern look.

Bakugo stared at me before sighing. "Yeah I know… I'm not good with working with others." He responded. "First time for everything." I flexed my wrist.

"Everyone in position?" The speakers came to life.

I looked at the gate and charged up Full Cowling. "Let's end this man's career Dynamight."

Bakugo smirked. "Fine, but keep up Deku." I rolled my eyes.

"READY!!!"

"GOOO!!!"

Momo and Todoroki ran through the streets, Momo was creating small matryoshka dolls as they ran.

"Let's hurry, Mr. Aizawa might be on the prowl." Todoroki took point as Momo looked behind to see if their teacher was following them.

"We need to be fast." Momo told him, suddenly, she couldn't create anymore dolls. Momo's eyes widened.Todoroki noticed also and threw the grenade in the air.

The flashbang went off. Momo closed her eyes beforehand and found their teacher, standing on one of the roofs, rubbing his eyes. "East!" She called and Shoto created an ice wall to cover their line of sight.

"Okay, come on!" Momo ran forward with Todoroki following. "If we were getting close to the gate, Mr. Aizawa would be trying to steer us away, so we need to go around and see if the gate is there." Momo explained as she started creating once again.

"We don't have a lot of time." Todoroki countered. "If it comes to that, we have to trap him." Momo turned a corner.

Midnight tapped her foot impatiently as the match started 5 minutes ago and the team she was supposed to face haven't even showed up yet.

"Ugh what is taking those two so long?" Midnight groaned, the gate was right behind her, so either they beat her or lure her away.

"Hmmm Camie's quirk is illusions.." She narrowed her eyes and walked forward. "If I were them I would use her quirk to hide my location." She licked her lips, "My, my, what a devious strategy." She snapped her whip at a pile of 'rocks'.

"If I didn't train you to use that quirk to the fullest!" The rocks disappeared showing Camie and Sero. "Ahh trying to test my patience~" She smirked.

Sero gulped and stepped back. "I knew you would do this, I know we can't sneak past you." Camie smirked back and blew hard into her breather and smoke came out of her fingertips covering the whole area.

The smoke cleared to multiple versions of Camie and Sero, scattered around the area.

"Try to find the real one~" The Camies called all at once. "YEAH!" The Seros agreed.

Midnight couldn't help but feel proud. "Now that's using your head!" She snapped her whip at a few illusions.

Ochako was hiding behind a wall as was Aoyama, Thirteen was using her quirk to keep them in place. The goal right behind the pro.

"Nice try heroes, but I'm not letting you pass!" Thirteen declared, not letting up her quirk.

Ochako smacked her forehead, there was nothing she could use as a weapon, no debris, nothing!

And Aoyama couldn't use his naval laser, everything was getting sucked into Thirteen's black hole, even any debris that was laying around!

She looked at Aoyama and then at her hands. "Do you have a plan?!" He asked in a panicked tone, her eyes widened.

"I think I do!" She jumped into the open letting herself be pulled into the black hole. Thirteen looked shocked and stopped her quirk. "Sorry about this!" Ochako reached out and increased the gravity around Thirteen bringing her to her knees.

"Aoyama!" She called, the sparkling hero in training ran up and put the cuffs on her. "How did you know that would work?" He asked his teammate. "The teachers are acting like villains but they won't actually try to kill us." Ochako winked.

"Well you got me fair and square." Thirteen sighed and the buzzer came to life. "Uraraka and

Aoyama have passed!" The speakers called.

Bakugo and I walked through the city. I looked straight ahead. "Get ready." I called out.

Just then, a huge wave of wind came our way, I pulled Bakugo behind one of the buildings to provide cover.

"Who cares about collateral damage." All Might's voice boomed, we stepped out to meet the number one hero. "I'm a villain now, heroes, remember that." His gaze got Bakugo to freeze momentarily but I barely flinched, Stain's aura was similar to this.

I smirked, "We'll remember that." "Just as we blast your ass to hell!" Bakugo matched my smirk.

"Confident are we?" All Might dashed towards us with his fist raised, we rolled out of the way just as he passed, All Might grabbed Bakugo's foot and pulled him back.

I expanded my shield and leaped towards my mentor. I slammed the shield against his arm making him free Bakugo. "You should have run while you had the chance!" He grabbed my shield and tossed me to the wall.

Fuck, stronger than I thought. "Well, running isn't the way of a hero." I got up and got into my defender's stance. "We're gonna win." I declared as I threw a grenade at him, his eyes widened as he covered his face, the explosive stunning him for a moment. "Scatter!" I used black whip to tether up the building behind me.

Bakugo blasted away in the opposite direction.

All Might smirked, "Well the two of you working together warms my heart, but now it's time for your teacher to school you." All Might jumped after me.

Nezu looked around for any movement in the area, nothing, "Well this won't do at all will it." He put his paw on a lever.

A loud whistle pierced through the air. "Principal, glad I found you, how many volts of electricity would it take to reach you and stun you?" Kaminari called from the bottom of the crane.

Nezu smiled. "Why I'd say just 9000 volts to reach up here." The principal replied, "But I could simply use something rubber to save myself, I did bring a rubber seat to stop that."

Kaminari smirked wider, "That's okay, I have another idea to take you down."

Mina popped up behind Nezu with a smile. "Hi~" She giggled and put the handcuffs on the small principal.

Nezu blinked and smiled. "My my, what a plan you two made."

Mina helped Nezu down the crane. "Good work!" Kaminari high fived Mina as the buzzer sounded.

"Kaminari and Ashido have passed!"

Midnight continued to snap her whip against the illusions, she growled in anger and decided to hell with it.

"No more playtime!" She ripped the fabric on her arm, letting the aromatic mist fill the area.

The illusion didn't waver, Midnight started to run back to the gate, "Not getting past me." She stopped and turned to face the illusions.

The illusion started to fade as the buzzer sounded. "Utsushimi and Sero have passed!" The hero's eyes widened and she looked behind her, the air shimmered and smoke dispersed showing Camie and Sero waving at her.

"We won!" Camie jumped up and down in victory. "And with time to spare!" Sero responded.

Midnight wanted to be upset that she lost but was very proud of her student, she could be an amazing hero one day. Midnight smiled. "Great work Mirage."

Momo and Todoroki continued to run in the direction of the gate. Momo was still making small dolls.

"If I'm correct the exit should be this way!" Momo told her partner. "Mr. Aizawa is trying to keep us away from here so it should be." Shoto reassured her.

The underground hero was standing on a rooftop watching his students, "At least they're using their heads." Aizawa muttered and used his capture tool to swing to intercept.

Momo's quirk stopped working, Todoroki's eyes widened as he took another flash grenade out of his belt but the capture scarf wrapped around him. "Can't fool me twice." Aizawa pulled Todoroki back.

Momo stopped and looked at her teacher who had her partner as a hostage.

"What are you gonna do now hero?" Her teacher asked, drawing a knife. He wouldn't hurt Todoroki, just trying to get her to surrender.

She looked at his feet to see her dolls strewn around his feet. "What I need to do." She took out a small detonator and pressed the button before Aizawa could react. Todoroki already shut his eyes and the dolls Momo made exploded in a bright flash.

Aizawa screamed and let go of Todoroki, covering his ears and shutting his eyes in pain, the sensory overload was too much, he felt his hands being cuffed together.

As he regained his vision, he saw Momo smiling at him with Todoroki next to her.

".. you planned this the whole time." Aizawa accused. "Not necessarily, I figured that you would try to go after Todoroki since he had the stun grenades, so I made small ones in the dolls that I made." Momo smiled wider.

"You fell right into my trap!" She gleefully said. Shoto stared at her not knowing that she had a plan for this…. Scary…

Aizawa sighed but had a smile on his face as the buzzer sounded. "Yaoyourozu and Todoroki have passed!"

I ran faster, making quick turns and jumps to outrun All Might.

A little longer… I thought as I turned and fired some air bullets at All Might, "You can't escape young Midoriya!" All Might was in front of me in seconds, I charged to Overdrive in order to dodge his attack.

I gritted my teeth, this attack was only a theory, I hope this works.

"DEKU!" Bakugo screamed from above.

I smirked and ran to the damaged part of Ground Beta, I landed and Bakugo landed next to me, panting and full of sweat. "All full?" I asked, "Fuck yeah." Bakugo responded as All Might landed a few meters in front of us. "If this doesn't work I'll kick your ass." Bakugo threatened.

"Get in line." I pushed to 40%, "Planning something? Like I would allow that!" All Might charged at us, I shot out black tendrils and it wrapped around him, trapping him. "Titanium binding!" I called my new move.

All Might's eyes widened at how strong the tendrils were, he couldn't break free.

During my internship, I worked on my binding technique, I was able to trap Mirko and she said it was like trying to break through metal. Bakugo blasted into the sky, I leaped into the air following Bakugo and bringing All Might with me.

I used my free hand to pull us higher into the sky, I gritted my teeth and smirked, "Nuclear!" I clapped hard sending a wave of strong wind towards All Might, Bakugo above me aimed his gauntlets and the two grenade safety pins popped off. "FINALE!" Bakugo finished as the gauntlets went off.

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Momo and Todoroki just entered Recovery Girl's tent, inside were, Uraraka and Aoyama, Mina and Kaminari, Sero and Camie, Jiro and Koda, Shoji and Toru, Ojiro and Iida and Tsu and Tokoyami.

"Oh everyone finished?" Momo asked, surprised. "Yeah, Kirishima and Sato failed." Uraraka stated. "And Mirdoriya and Bakugo are still fighting!" Mina called them over pointing at the screen.

Momo watched Midoriya weave through the city, avoiding All Might but not going for the exit. "What's Bakugo doing?" Todoroki asked as Bakugo was shown running around, using minimal explosives as possible.

Momo stared for a moment, wondering what they were planning. "Whoa they're close to the gate!" Kaminari pointed it out.

Bakugo and Midoriya were standing in the middle of the street with All Might standing before them. "They should run, All Might is too powerful." Tokoyami stated. "I don't think Bakugo's pride will allow that." Shoji responded.

"They're both smirking." Tsu pointed out.

"WHOA, They're pulling All Might into the sky!" Sero looked amazed as Mirdoriya was holding All Might so tightly with black whip.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Recovery Girl grumbled. Soon the feed was cut and the ground
