"Damn this place is big." Karaki groaned as they continued trudging through the Midoriya Foundation forest. "How the hell does a 15-year-old own this much fucking land."

"Less lip, keep moving," Kaza ordered as she lead everyone through the forest. "Rember, keep your eyes peeled. We fuck this up, we don't get another chance."

"Trust me, I know," Tsubu said as he walked.

"We all do. None of us care to be arrested." Yoku added. "Speaking of which, are you absolutely certain that we're going the right way?"

"I have a photographic memory," Kaza explained. "I remember that fucking map like it's the back of my hand, now could you all be quiet while we're sneaking!? Seriously how are you all so loud, don't you get hangovers?"

"How'd you know how much we drank? You were asleep for like, half the day yesterday." Karaki asked.

"I could see the mountain of fucking bottles you idiots left," Kaza explained. "Seriously how do you fit so much fucking booze in such a small body."

"What can I say, I'm dense." Karaki chuckled.

"Not sure you should be saying that like it's a good thing small stuff," Yoku said, also getting a chuckle from that.

"Seems like they're progressing rather quickly," Sai said as she watched the class take down a pack of Sabyrs. "They'll be at level 2 in just a couple of minutes."

Sori was looking at the map of the grounds and noticed something. "Hey…we focused a lot of the Seers over here for this test…but doesn't that mean this area over there is a bit unguarded?"

"I suppose so." Sai was surprised she missed that, even more so that Sori caught it. "The security towers should be able to catch anyone intruding…but still I supposed I could send a few more Seers over that way."

"Nah, they're pretty slow, I'm just gonna do a quick patrol myself," Sori said, before running out. "Be right back!"

"Huh, she's surprisingly on the ball today." Sai praised.

"Well…I wouldn't say that." Tokoshi said, as he motioned over to Sori's communicator, which she had left behind.

Sai facepalmed. "One step forward. One step back."

"Rahhhhhh!"

Many Grimm cried out, as Todoroki's ice impaled a large group of level-two Grimm before they could even get close.

In truth, most of 1A hadn't seen much action. As Todoroki kinda just…soloed everything. They'd take out some strays, but with Jiro and Shoji's detection and Shoto's raw power and range, they were pretty untouchable. At least for now.

Aoyama and Bakugo shot some Griffons out of the sky, clearing the way for them to move forward.

"Alright, let's keep going," Ochaco said after Todorki melted the ice.

The class ran through the clearing, but Jiro suddenly stopped, when she heard some shifting rocks over by the mountainside. "Wait…something just moved."

FWOOSH!

Quickly, a Hound that was clinging to the side of the rocky cliff revealed itself and shot a fireball toward Jiro.

The fireball never hit, as Todorki created a wall of ice in front of her that took the hit.

Sero shot out some tape to try and catch it, but the Hound jumped off the wall and into the air, growing a pair of winds to stay there so Todoroki couldn't freeze them.

Aoyama shot a beam at it, which hit its body, but of course, it just quickly regenerated.

"Aoyama, keep it from getting too high up, Uraraka, Bakugo bring it to the ground," Iida ordered.

"I'll do you one better!" Bakugo blasted off into the sky towards the Hound, while Uraraka ran after him.

Bakugo quickly reached the Hound, which unleashed a stream of fire at him, that he easily avoided, before counterattacking, by unleashing an explosion along the left side of its face, destroying some of its masks.

Meanwhile, Ochaco had run up the cliff, and jumped onto the Hound's back, before ripping off its head. "Todoroki, now!"

She threw it towards Todoroki, who unleashed a burst of flames at it, incinerating it completely.

The Hound's body fell to the ground and began fading away as it died.

"Huh…thought that was gonna be harder," Mina said.

"Yeah after seeing what that thing did to 1B I figured I'd give us a hard time," Kaminari added.

"Well I mean…they're 1B, and we're 1A." Toru bragged.

"We're better than them we get it. Let's keep going." Bakugo said as he waited for the group to continue.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Well, it seems that Grimm aren't going to be giving them all too much trouble." Sai sighed. "Honestly this just shows how lacking our defenses are in the face of pure power."

"Not quite, after all, we have some pure power of our own!" Tokoshi said as he flexed.

Sai rolled her eyes. "Well pure power might want to get a move on because they'll be reaching level 3 soon enough."

"Ah, thank you for reminding me," Tokoshi said before he bowed and took his leave.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The class was quickly notified when they got to level 3, as they were confronted by an army of much stronger foes.

Goliaths equipped with machine guns, unloading hundreds of bullets at them, Manticores hurling down fireballs, and Beringles and Geist in rock golem bodies charged at them.

Todoroki had put up an ice wall to keep away the bullets and fireballs, but he knew that it wouldn't stop the Beringles and Geists.

Seeing that they were pinned, Momo tried to look for the best way out, when she noticed the water that was forming from Todoroki's melted ice. "Wait! Todoroki! Melt the ice! Kaminari, elecocute them."

"Understood." Todoroki turned the floor in front of him where the Grimm were to ice, before using his fire to melt it, while Kirishima jumped forward to tank the bullets that were still flying at them.

"Alright! Indiscriminate shock!" Kaminari rushed over to the closest part of the massive pool of water and activated his quirk. "1.3 Million Volts!"

A powerful wave of electricity ran through the water, electrocuting all the grounded Grimm at once.

"AGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" They cried out in anguish.

Once the attack finished, the Grimm collapsed, the rock golems the Geists made collapsed, and all of them dissipated into smoke.

FWOOSH!

But the Manticores still remained, shooting down fireballs at the teens.

Bakugo flew up to the left of the Mantiocres, and-

BOOM!

With one massive explosion, all the Manticores were wiped out.

And with that, they were clear to go.

"Again thought this would be harder," Jiro said before a now brain-zapped Kaminari fell onto her.

"Wheeyyyy." Kaminari groaned.

"Agh, geez I get you're more brain-dead than normally but get a hold of yourself," Jiro said, as she took Kaminari's arm and helped him walk along with the rest of the class.

Hmmm. She didn't push him away this time. Progress. Mina thought to herself, satisfied that one of her O.T.P.s was another step closer to becoming reality.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The class made it quite a bit farther, taking out any threats along the way rather easily before they encountered the next big threat.

"Wait…somethings ahead of us…I hear a heartbeat." Jiro warned them as they came upon a clearing.

Shoji extended one of his eye tentacles, into the clearing. "It's Tokoshi. He's standing in the clearing. Just waiting."

"He's that really strong old guy right?" Mina asked.

"If he's just standing there then we should be in a good position to set up an ambush," Momo explained.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tokoshi waited. He knew an ambush was going to happen, given the circumstances. It was just a matter of when.

KABOOM!

Suddenly he was attacked from all angles. Todoroki's fire, Bakugo's explosion, Aoyama's beam, and a cannon shot from Momo, impacted Tokoshi at once creating a massive explosion.

The students waited in the bushes for the results, as the smoke started to die down.

And in the center of a massive crater, was Tokoshi, mostly unharmed except for a few burns, and his uniform was torn up and burnt, exposing his ripped upper half.

"Not bad, I actually felt that," Tokoshi said, as he dusted himself off, and then cracked his neck. "Now then, shall we start this battle properly."

Immediately they sprung into plan B.

Ochaco charged out of the bushes at full speed, and ran past Tokoshi, touching him as she passed, increasing his gravity severely, and causing him to start digging into the ground.

Todoroki then froze over the hole, trapping the man underground for the moment.

"Alright everyone we need to get as far away as possible! Remember defeating him is not part of our objective! We just need to get to the house!" Momo reminded them, as they made a run for it.

"Tch." Bakugo didn't like the idea of running away, but at the same time, he didn't feel like falling behind to fight the old man, who obviously could take quite a bit of punishment. So he just followed.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Pure power huh." Sai rolled her eyes as she watched 1A bury Tokoshi. "Ugh, and they're approaching level 4. And Sori's still nowhere to be found. Guess I'll just have to make an early appearance."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Moving quickly, and with nothing blocking their way, the soon-to-be false villains made their way to the lab rather quickly.

"Damn, it's pretty big," Karaki said, as he looked up at the structure. "How are we supposed to find a ship in all that?"

"We got a map to remember?" Kaza pointed out, as they all made their way to the entrance when suddenly, Kaza noticed a shadow overlapping with hers. "Shit! Everyone get back!"

Everyone jumped back, as the Hound crashed into the ground in front of them, blocking their path.

"Shit that thing looks way scarier in real life," Yoku admitted.

"AWOOOOOOO!" The Hound cried, before going on the attack, and breathing out a stream of fire at the group.

Kaza immediately fired back, breathing out a beam of fire, that pieced through the Hound's attack, and hit it in the face.

The Hound jumped out of the beam, its face thoroughly burned but its brain was still intact, so it quickly started regenerating.

SLICE!

Suru slashed the air in front of him, and the Hound's head, which was a few yards away from him, fell off. Suru had placed the Hound's hit space in front of him for the moment.

Kaza fired another beam of fire, at the Hound's decapitated head, but the Hound picked up its head, and jumped out of the way of the attack, before reattaching its head.

WHACK!

Just as it reattached its head, Karaki smacked it in the face with her Yo-Yo, doing very minimal damage, but that would soon change.

WHACK WHACK WHACK!

Karaki smacked it in the head multiple times, each attack doing more and more damage thanks to her quirk, destroying most of its head with ease, and disorienting it.

SHOOM!

Kaza fired another beam at the Hound's head, this time hitting her mark, and destroying its head.

The team looked at the Hound's smoking neck stump, expecting it to die, but much to their horror, it simply started regrowing its head.

"Shit, it moved its brain." Kaza deduced. "Someone pin it down while I charge a bigger attack. Don't let it move an inch! Con, Miru, get in the lab and find that damn boat, this could take us a while."

Tsubu used his quirk, and raised a lot of dirt from the ground, wrapping around the Hound and trapping it.

"Couldn't have done that earlier!?" Yoku asked as her and Rorou ran into the lab.

"Give me a break, I'm not used to using my quirk!" Tsubu defended himself, as he struggled to maintain his hold over the dirt while the Hound struggled to escape.

However, the Hound quickly stopped struggling, and soon its body moved through the dirt like a liquid, before reforming and charging at the group.

SLICE!

Suru did a sweeping swipe around him, and the Hound's legs flew off.

"Now!" Karaki said.

Kaza flew up into the air and got ready to unleash a beam she had been charging for a while. Which headed straight down at the Hound, ready to obliterate its entire body.

But just as she was about to let it fly-

WHAM!

Sori came flying out of the forest, and drop-kicked Kaza in the face, causing her to release her beam off to the side, burning the ground it hit and the trees around it.

The feline bodyguard bounced off Kaza, and onto the ground. "Looks like I was right to take a look around. Now then, let's see who's ready for a good old knuckle sandwich!"

So yeah, 1A is having a significantly easier time than 1B. And well, yeah it's pretty obvious why.

1A is just, flat-out better than 1B. In practically every way. Todoroki alone solos most of the Grimm, add the rest of his classmates and it's a wrap.

Anyway please review and have a nice day.
