CYA: What Defines A Hero: Bad Path

by lumpeistbark3

The story goes up until right after the psycho sister's arc so I guess spoilers for one punch season 3 as well. the alternative path on A03 is to be uploaded later here.

8. Month 1: Week 2: shenanigans

slight cannon divergence, sense canonically takes place sometime after saitama and the crew meet fubuki as when genos is thinking at the end of everyone that knows saitama strength he regards her as people that know, I didn't catch that when I wrote this chapter

Class now in session: Zombieman, Tokoyami, Toru

Toru was nervous but excited about her opportunity to train under one of the best martial arts masters in the world but before she left she wanted to personally tell bang her choice, thinking it would be good to thank the man for the opportunity. The group was walking through Z-city, before a monster alarm began to blare, the threat level wolf and tiger, the group decided to investigate finding a sentient flower plant tearing through the streets, it looked like a mutated Venus fly trap monster with it's mouth open filled with serrated teeth that was singing? The monster was in the midst of picking up a human with its vines.

tokoyami reacted quickly shooting out dark shadow to cut the vines down and grabbing the person and putting them down to run away, the plant creature let out a roar of disapproval before it was quickly silenced by a gunshot from zombieman's desert eagle penetrating through the creatures mouth and out the other side. The group approached the creature before it immediately sprang into action it's vines had wrapped around the three of their legs suspending them in midair, zombie man thought quickly shooting the vines wrapped around his ankle before firing again and again at the creature as he progressed towards the creature, darkshadow quickly cut tokoyami loose before gliding him over towards the still suspended toru who pulled at her restraints to try and get free but to no luck tokoyami using his fallen angel quickly cut her loose before caring her back down towards the floor. The two teens turned around just in time for zombieman to have forgone his pistols and pull out dual swords he used them to cut through the vines that the creature shot out to defend itself culminating in him bisecting the creature in half before cutting again in horizontal pattern before the blades were just a blur of motion to the two teens eyes and monster just laid there in pieces of its former self, the vines it had sprouted quickly wilted to nothing.

Well that takes care of that, you two ok. " zombieman said as he swished his blades clean before stuffing them back into his coat.

"We're fine." tokoyami answered, toru nodding beside him.

"Good, let's head over to the next one." zombieman said casually as he moved along from the chopped up corpse. The group continued to walk before being surprised by who they came across; it was bang and midoriya, they seemed to be loading something onto a bus from the association it had the title monster detainment on it. Bang noticed them and waved, catching Midoriya's attention as well who ran over to greet them followed closely by bang.

"I assume you took care of the other monster that appeared?" bang asked

"Yup, plant monsters of some kind now mince meat." zombieman said casually.

"What brings you guy's out here?" Midoriya questioned the group, zombieman only pointed a thumb at toru as she stepped forward and took a bow in front of bang while saying.

"I'm sorry mr. bang I thank you for the opportunity but I've decided to train under your brother bomb." she said with a degree of formality her friends weren't used to. bang moved his fist to his palm and bowed back in return.

"It is much alright, finding your correct style is the most important part of being a martial artist. You are always welcome if you change your mind." he reminded her.

"Thank you." she said in return, before anymore time could be spent talking the alarms began again, this time a monster in district 7 threat level demon. Midoriya looked at bang who pointed in the direction that was and with a goodbye midoriya was off in a flash. Bang let out a sigh.

"Monsters have been appearing more frequently lately and that boy's been running around any chance he could get to stop them." he said as he watched the boy go.

"He also wants to save them. I see" as the bus begins to roll away zombieman noted

"Indeed." bang said as he went to follow after midoriya.

"Hope that doesn't get him killed." zombieman murmured as he turned the other way beginning to walk towards bomb dojo.

"Come one guy's were going, the quicker we are the quicker you all can get to work."

"We aren't going to help them?" toru said worried. which got a genuine laugh from zombieman

"I would be more worried about the monster if I were you, a simple demon isn't much cause for concern." he waved dismissively. Continuing to move forward, the two teens turned to look at each other, before shrugging their shoulders and following along. The group made it towards bombs dojo, toru was still confused why the man decided to build his dojo in such a place and how it came to be, the crater that bomb's dojo was located in was a steep 20 meters down and 200 meters in diameter. Zombieman stopped before making they're way down to the confusion of the two teens present.

"We aren't going down there?" Tokoyami asked.

"Nope, we're going to wait until his class dismisses." zombieman said leaning and sitting down on the edge of the hole, but before the two teens could rest along with him he held out a hand to stop the two.

"Hold on, you two takes laps around the dojo in the meantime." zombieman said

"What! Come on, I don't want to be tired before starting my classes." Toru whined.

"Think of it as getting your blood pumping in preparation." zombieman said casually, earning a pouted look from toru as she and tokoyami began stretching, getting ready to run. They both managed at least one lap before bomb's dojo finally began to let out for classes.

Toru and Tokoyami were just getting done with their first lap before zombieman gestured for them to follow him down, the class that passed him must have been a different one that they saw previously given that none of the members faces toru could remember from the other day. As the group made their way down bomb welcomed them with a large smile.

"I take this to mean that I am the one you chose?" he said with a grin.

"Yes, we took a slight detour to decline bang personally before arriving." zombieman stated

"That is fine, my next class will begin in about an hour. For now please make yourself at home." bomb said extending his hand inside his dojo, the group took the offer and walked inside. As the hour came closer more and more people started to make their way inside towards their seats. Zombieman and tokoyami took this as their sign to leave as both were easily drawing the attention of a number of the students but before they left out the dojo completely bomb followed them outside.

"Are you sure neither of you would like to stay and learn as well?" bomb suggested.

"No thanks, martial arts isn't really my style, I prefer weapons." zombieman said

"And you young man? I'm sure your friend would love to have a familiar face." bomb said.

"I'm not a close range fighter either, besides I don't want to cause unnecessary disruptions." he said as he pushed a button on his helmet retracting it back to show his face, taking the old man by surprise, but he was shocked even more when a black figure emerged from his back.

"Not every day you find people like us." dark shadow mentioned gesturing to himself and tokoyami

"I …I see, well you certainly travel with unusual company." bomb mentioned.

"Courtesy of the hero association" zombieman remarked.

"We'll be doing our own training close by." zombieman said as they started walking away.

Bomb nodded and went back inside to teach his class, most of the class were obviously sending curious looks to the new person in the room, who sat somewhat further away from everyone else. Bomb entrance immediately brought the class murmurs to a close, he began he introduce toru to the class and everyone greeted her which she returned. The training began with a form of dynamic stretches a couple of which were unique to toru making her struggle a bit to keep up with everyone else. The next exercise was a flurry of punches and kicks towards the air, following that the class had been ordered outside where they were ordered to run around the perimeter of the dojo, the problem toru noted was that he wanted them to run around the complex a total of 100 times. Predictably toru soon began to lag behind, the rest of her class but she held up longer than she thought she would being able to stay with the class for half of the laps needed before starting to lag behind, the big as the diameter of the dojo being roughly being only 100 meters around but multiply that by 100 and she was having to sprint for nearly 10 kilometers without rest.

She was surprised that class didn't have any gripes about her slowing them down but realized that as she finally finished her laps a couple minutes after everyone else that the lesson didn't continue until the last person finished. When she finished her laps bomb immediately continued his lessons he had divided all the students with a single stone monolith each, he instructed each student to attack the monolith with the same attacks they learned at the beginning of the session. Toru was special. Instead of a stone monolith she was stuck with a wooden structure, she gave a tentative punch slightly shivered as the pain vibrated through her hand, though the structure was wood it was still incredibly durable given that it barely moved from her attack. She continued like this with everyone else not wanting to show how weak she was before switching to kicks when her hand felt like they were going to break, bomb had revolved around her telling her things that would improve her form and what she was doing wrong when attacking.

Eventually they all went back inside and began to listen to bomb speak on the human anatomy more specifically the weaknesses of the human body or any organism with similar physical traits. The lessons would continue for the next 1 hour before more rigorous training would occur which would include, sparring, counter maneuvers, foot work and other exercises.

Zombieman and tokoyami made their way out of the hole that was bomb's dojo, dark shadow immediately exited out of tokoyami the two crested the crater.

"So what's the plan for us, coach?" dark shadow questioned, going up in front of the hero, surprising him slightly.

"Well it's something dealing with you two, I'm curious though, what exactly are you?"

"Me, I'm this gloomy guy's shadow and his best friend." dark shadow commentated

"And my worst enemy." Tokoyami murmured.

"Well this enemy is also your savior." dark shadow shot back at the boy.

"So I guess you guy's share each other's thoughts since you share the same body, but do you share each other's pain as well?: zombieman questioned

"Yup we do share thoughts but pain? Nah." dark shadow said, crossing his arms. Zombieman nodded his head and came to a stop. In a clearing around 50 meters away from the crater. Dark shadow quickly went back to tokoyami and joined in with him.

"Is he on some set time limit?" zombieman questioned

"No, it's just strenuous to constantly keep him out." tokoyami mentioned.

"I see, well can he turn intangible?" zombieman asked.

"No, not that I'm aware of." tokoyami replied

Zombieman began to run his chin in thought before quickly pulling out his pistol and firing in tokoyami's direction, the surprise attack took the boy off guard and the shot landed as dark shadow immediately came back out to defend his partner from further harm.

"Well that's our first lesson, activation time and deactivation time on your little buddy here " zombieman said as he put his gun away.

"What.. what do you mean." tokoyami said, getting up his chest stinging from the rubber round he just took. He was somewhat happy that he took their advice on changing from paint to rubber bullets as it saved time on washing his clothes after every session.

"The problem I see with you, is when your buddy is out it leaves you vulnerable. We can focus on your close range mode later but for now how far can you send the little guy out?" zombieman questioned

"About 20 meters," Tokoyami replied.

"Alright we're gonna play a game, similar to a snowball fight, try to hit someone and don't get hit in return. My ammo versus your little buddy. Other than that anything goes." zombieman said as he loaded a full clip of rubber bullets. He began to walk from the clearing into the crowded forest , there were numerous trees and objects that he or dark shadow could get snagged on but he assumed that was the point of this exercise, he wanted to decrease dark shadows deployment and retreatment began the excise about about 10 meters apart and zombieman shot his weapon in the air to signal the start and completely disappeared from tokoyami's sight, tokoyami not wanting to make himself an easy target began to move weaving through the tree, his eye's searching for where the hero could be his thoughts were cut off as he he felt a stinging pain on his shoulder as he was hit turning in the directions to see zombieman so meters away, he shot out darks shadow, the hero began to move juking and dodging away from dark shadow attacks before tokoyami figured he was going to far tangling himself up in the trees, he recalled him but as he was recalling zombieman went on the offense firing his weapon towards tokoyami, given that dark shadow was still returning him attempting was strained, he was struck three more times before getting behind a tree for cover. Dark shadow finally managed to get back looking over his partner.

"Tokoyami! Are you ok?" he asked in worry.

'Yes, I'm fine.. We can't overextend like that again." tokoyami said as he looked around for the hero, only managing brief glimpses of his jacket flowing through the wind. They needed to move around but he would undoubtedly see where he went given the area.

"Dark shadow, I need you to cause a distraction to grow as large as you can and cover me. I last saw him around south southwest trying to obscure his vision the best you can and then return to me but in a roundabout way." Tokoyami instructed and dark shadow nodded his head. Growing around 10 percent larger before destroying a bunch of the trees and scattered them about in the given direction. Tokoyami started running before he decided to climb. Without dark shadow it proved much more difficult than he originally thought it would be, he made it to the top of the tree and managed to find a purchase near its roots and just like instructed him.

dark shadow began to slowly make its way towards him making pit stops, turning and moving in different directions while simultaneously cutting off large branches to obscure the hero's vision if he was following his path. As soon as dark shadow got to him, he activated his fallen angel form and began to fly in random direction tree to tree, hoping to confuse the hero. The tactic worked as he now viewed the hero from above, his gun was in hand and he was looking around for him, he launched dark shadow out at the hero and as he got close dark shadow screeched out.

"Got you now!" Quick as a flash, the hero unveiled a new gun from his coat and shot directly at the tree tokoyami was in. causing the tree to fall and forcing dark shadow to turn back to catch his partner, he luckily managed to do so but before they could recover to move again a gun was shoved in tokoyami's face.

"It was worth a shot, even if I didn't know where you were, your buddy gave himself away by yelling." zombieman remarked as he holstered his weapon and helped tokoyami up.

"He can be a bit eccentric." tokoyami replied.

"As I can see, well now we're just gonna focus on the regular physical exercise routine alright, ready?" zombieman asked and tokoyami nodded.

Sense : King's group, Geno's group, Saitama

Mineta had just entered King's new apartment still thinking how odd it was that king was living in such places, especially now that he had won that 5 million yen from yesterday. As he approached his room and opened the door he noticed that king had his disguise on ready to go out into the public. The two looked at each other for a moment and Mineta was the first to ask the question.

"Where are you headed mr. king?" he queried.

" I'm headed over to a friend's place to play some games and watch anime." king said simply

"Oh, can I come with you? " Mineta asked, unsure if he was included in his plans. King sat and thought for a moment, putting a hand to his chin in a thinking gesture. Than replied.

"Sure, why not it could be fun." king explained.

"Awesome! I bet your friends are super cool, are they strong just like you?" mineta wondered out loud.

"Oh yeah, he's really strong. The strongest person I've ever met." Mineta skipped with excitement, curious about the individual in question and how he might look.

would he be some muscled bound hero with tons of scars? A hero with a lithe figure with a cool costume with cool weapons. As the two made their way into the city this friend was located, however his thoughts on the individual changed as he surveyed the area. it was a ghost town nobody was around and the buildings looked desolate. Maybe the king's friend was a dangerous criminal forced to live outside of society to escape from people and the reason king didn't just bring him is for him to atone for his sins by fighting as a vigilante? Now his vision of the man was a hardened thug or assassin with sleek hair and lithe frame like edge shot. His expectations were utterly shattered as king 's friend opened the door to reveal a plain bald man in plain white shirt with some kanji on it that he couldn't recognize and black pants as the two entered he was further surprised by the two teens that were inside along with the plain looking hero.

"BAKUGO!? TODOROKI!? Wh-what are you doing here?" mineta exclaimed rushing up to his classmates

"Stop all that yelling you extra!" bakugo yelled back, making Mineta shrink away from him, not daring to point out his hypocrisy at that moment.

"We are waiting for demon cyborg to return." Todoroki said calmly next to the grumpy teen. The mention of the name brought a whirl of emotions to the king's face, mostly guilt for leaving him to face that machine and fear if he held any ill will towards him because of it.

"You ugh… you know demon cyborg?" king managed to stutter out.

"Yeah… he just kinda barged in one day and considered me his master all of a sudden." Saitama said casually. Earning shocked looks from both king and mineta. Mineta looked to todoroki and bakugo as if asking for confirmation, bakugo merely sucked his teeth and looked away while todoroki shrugged his shoulders, the two haven't seen him in combat and doubted him and demon cyborg severely on his rumored strength, their complete lack of care to do actual hero work doubled down on their doubts. After some time playing video games and then watching an anime that was about a potato hero, Genos finally arrived, he had gone out to retrieve Saitama's costume from the cleaners.

"I'm ready!" Saitama stated confident.

"Ready for what?" king inquired.

"This! wanna join? There prize money for the winner ``Saitama tried to entice.

"No, I don't have a hero costume." the conversation was bakugo's breaking point

"A fucking costume contest!? Aren't you guy's hero's shouldn't be out fighting monsters!'' Bakugo yelled as he stood up, his palms leaking smoke.

"Master Saitama does not need to muddy himself with such trivial matters unless the threat is high enough." genos said dismissing bakugo immediately.

"Maybe monster attacks aren't as frequent as you want to believe they're." Todoroki attempted to calm him down.

"Or we never hear shit because we're in this ghost town!" bakugo shot back angrily.

"Stop yelling in my master's home" genos said seriously, his palms activating slightly in threat.

"Oh yeah? Make me scrap heap!`` Bakugo said, his palm begging to smoke again. Todoroki just looked annoyed and mineta and king were beginning to cower away from the two, saitama on the other had stopped listening to go change into his hero clothes, upon coming out and seeing the two explosive people about to fight in his living room he immediately yelled at them.

"Cut it out! We don't have time for this, genos." genos almost immediately stood down but the teenager was more eager for a fight.

"And why the hell should I listen to you." bakugo challenged, saitama only rolled his eyes and proceeded towards the door before turning his head back to the teen.

"How about this, a challenge if you win, we go out monster hunting if I win, you join the hero costume contest and give any money you earn to me. Deal?" Saitama said grinning to himself.

"Alright, you're on." bakugo immediately agreed to the challenge, marching out the door after the bald hero. The rest of the group continued after them, Saitama was stretched for time so the challenge between the two was just to see who could land a hit on the other first. Geno was the one that did the countdown and as he said go, the match was already over, Saitama had plucked the kid on forehead and was already moving past him to walk towards the concert, leaving a stunned audience in his wake besides Genos who immediately followed his master away.

"Wh-what the hell just happened?" bakugo asked, confused.

"You lost! And per agreement you have to join the costume contest so hurry up!" Genos yelled back. Bakugo stared in disbelief for a few moments more before hearing a slight chuckle from his side which snapped his head in the direction of the little grape boy spooking him and making him run behind king for cover, he was about to say something but another beckoning yell from genos stopped him cold, he stuffed his hands in his pockets and began to walk away, mumbling his way down the street slowly followed by todoroki as well, mineta went to follow but when he realized that king didn't move he stopped and looked at him as he started back towards the apartment.

"You're not coming king?"

"Nah, I'm gonna play some more games. Feel free to go with them, good luck if you decide to enter the contest" king said as he waved goodbye and continued inside, mineta was hesitant but followed the others.

He really needed to find a way for king to live a little and accept his fame. The group got to the stadium where the costume contest was going to take place. It was extremely packed full of people waiting to get in, Saitama and Todoroki waited around for the crew to get their tickets registered. As they came back saitama noticed a kid sitting on a bench almost naked and crying.

"Are you alright? Where are your clothes?"

"...They took them! They teased me at school and now they stole my clothes!" the kid said through tears.

"Show us where they are? Will teach them never to steal again.`` Bakugo said, making his way to the front.

" That would be an unwise course of action and could potentially escalate their teasing into something more harmful and if such a case occurred you won't be there to protect him." genos said causing bakugo to glare in the hero's direction.

"In any case we can't just leave him here like this." Todoroki said. Igniting his hand slightly just in case the boy was cold, which frightened the boy somewhat before his face morphed into intrigue and then morphing back into his original sad state.

"There is a junior costume contest going on as well but now I don't have a costume to wear." The boy was about to sob again before suddenly seeing a fabric covering his legs.

"This costume is cool, so I'll lend it to you." The kid looked up at the bald man, the sun behind him casting a shadow over his body.

"Are you sure about that old dude?" the teen said, earning an annoyed smirk from Saitama only replying.

"I'm not that old." before the kid went off on his way.

"But master, how are you supposed to compete without a costume?" genos inquired

"No worries genos, I came prepared. I wore a costume under my costume.`` Saitama exclaimed confidently, turning around to unveil his new look. It was his normal boots and gloves but his shirt was a plain white with a brown mouse creature on the front but instead of a mouse's face it was a man's with a buckle across his lower stomach along with his white briefs with a flower pattern print.

"There are no rules on what makes a hero costume right genos? This will compete well, don't you think?" but before genos could speak bakugo barked out in laughter.

"There's no way you could win, looking like that." he said between hearty laughs.

"I Don't know, I think it looks pretty stylish with some modifications if you ask me." Mineta said, analyzing Saitama's new fit.

"You're only saying that because it somewhat resembles your trash look. He gave his hero suit away. What's your excuse? ``Bakugo snapped back, laughing some more.

"In any case, if the judges side with you then the money will go to saitama anyways." genos

Said, earning a grumbling response from bakugo.

"Well the contest is about to begin, you all better hurry." Todoroki remarked as the other heroes began making their way inside.

The group parted as genos wished his master luck. As the show began the announcer emcee announced the three judges Cleopatra, Natalie No.9, Tora-Jiro and after that the emcee invited up her first contestant which was darkness blade he boasted about his armor and weapon but also contradicted himself by saying he wasn't boasting which todoroki found bizarre. The true surprise came with the judges opinions however they were extremely harsh especially the man in the center only offering a meager two points to the hero making his grand total a 16 out of 30 points, this continued on for sometime before getting down to the last 3 contestant which happened to be his classmates and saitama. The first to go up was bakugo, his explosive costume garnering a positive reaction from the crowd if their oohs and applauds were anything to go by.

"I am the A-class hero great explosion murder god dynamight! And the winner of this stupid contest!" bakugo announced boldly, raising both of his hands and shooting out an explosion from both of them, drawing gasps of surprise from the people in the room, making the room deadly quiet as the judges began their evaluation. The one in the center was the first to begin like always.

"You're a curious case, you emit an ego that doesn't entirely match up with your skill, leaving yourself in limbo when things don't go as you plan. You have skill but too much self confidence in your skills leading you to always chase behind it." Taro said, giving his judgment.

"You know how to sell a theme well and stick to it, your hair personality and style tells someone all they need to know about you." Natalie 9 commented

"Your face also isn't bad although it would be better if it wasn't in a constant state of anger." cleopatra said

The judges all gave their marks and the audience was stunned by the result. The middle judge afforded the man his highest score yet a 7, combined with another 7 he earned from cleopatra and the 10 he earned from natalie he received a total of 24 points out30, which was the highest in the contest so far bakugo was conflicted with his emotions on the event not only from what that judge said but also because if he did win, the money would just go to that bald guy. He returned back in line with another round of applause by the audience as he walked back.

"That's the best score of the day. Can our next two contestants top that? Let's find out!" emcee said as she theoretically held out her hand for the next contestant which was mineta, he marched out proudly stating his class and rank before taking off one of his pop off balls and placing it on the ground to spring into the air and forward on the stage. The judges seemed to be unimpressed. The guy went first.

"You are a desperate being that doesn't realize that the same drive to have is the same thing driving people away from you." Taro said.

"You have a color scheme that clashes slightly and without a close inspection on the stem on your head people wouldn't know what your theme was." Natalie said

"Your colors clash but not to an obnoxious extent but I don't really like grapes very much." Cleopatra said, the judges gave their score perfect fives across the board making him get a 15 out of 30 points nearly bringing the boy to tears as he picked up his ball and started running back towards the line up.

The next up was Saitama and after a rather humorous event even to todoroki at saitama's attempt at a special move, the center judge really let the bald hero have it, throwing insults after insult at his costume and his character but before he could finally give the hero a final score, the entire arena started to rumble violently, almost knocking the announcer off her feet. The next thing they heard was an alarm announcer.

"EMERGENCY ALERT! EMERGENCY ALERT!

A monster has appeared in City-Z. threat level: demon! It came from the sewers!

It is rampaging in district 7!"

The citizens around them started to murmurs about that being close to this location putting Todoroki on edge, he attempted to move towards the center of the arena before something bursted through the wall of the arena, before the smoke cleared the creature introduced itself.

"I was a pet turtle but my owner flushed me down the toilet, there I bathed in sewage until I mutated into this." as the smoke cleared true to the creatures word, it was a massive turtle but had three heads, the other heroes immediately sprang into action trying to attack the monster the first being the first contestant darkness blade who attempted to slice the center head with his sword but the strike didn't phase the monster in the slightest and it batted the hero away along with the others that attempt to fight it. Bakugo was in the mix as well; he waited for all the small hero's to be out of the way before charging towards the monster.

"FINALLY! THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" He rushed at the monster before rising above it using his ap-autocannon on the creature, creating a large cloud of smoke. He was shocked when the creature stood up on its two legs, grabbing him by the leg and throwing him towards the stage, flying past the critic and hitting the stage. The monster laughed;

"Gha ha ha ha, I'll drown you in sewage!" The monster rolled into a ball before charging forth towards taro and Saitama sprung into action hoping to intercept the creature but suddenly the ball was instantly frozen and nearly the entire hole that the monster came in from was covered in ice, the whole audience froze from their panic and turned to look where the ice came from following the line of ice to its origin being a teen in a blue uniform which surprised everyone. Everyone started to surround Todoroki asking if he was a hero and thanking him for saving their lives, the crowd parted for the judges.

"I assume you're a hero as well" taro said, todoroki nodded.

"My name is sho-frozen-phoenix. S-class" he corrected himself, taro looked at him for a moment analyzing his features. His scar, his outfit.

"You're a good person if not a tad dull which comes through from your costume no flare or exaggeration purely functional but still aesthetically pleasing." the critique said examining

"Your scar gives your face character, along with your heteromorphic eyes which really highlight your oddly colored hair even more. Cleopatra said.

"I think you're absolutely perfect, in fact would you mind if I get you for some promotional opportunities?" natalie said

"Ugh, what?" Todoroki was utterly confused about what was happening right then. Suddenly all the judges gave a score and to his surprise he got two eights and a 10 giving him a score of 28. The highest in the contest.

"But I wasn't a part of the contest?" Todoroki stated not wanting to intervene, especially given his classmates temper. Speaking of which he glanced over to see if he was ok. The monster threw him pretty hard only to be surprised by seeing Midoriya conversing with him instead.

"Oh please, child. I'm sure nobody here would speak out against our savior winning the award." taro said to a whoop of support from the crowd. Meanwhile midoriya and bang had just entered the scene and entered from the hole the monster had made, he saw that the monster was completely frozen solid so that could only mean one thing he looked and he saw todoroki surrounded by people praising him which he smiled at but instantly turned to a frown when he saw bakugo getting up from what appeared to be a crash from the stage.

"Kacchan!" Midoriya reacted instantly, racing towards his childhood friend. He reached a hand out to help him up but he slapped it away just like he's done before.

"What the hell are you doing here midoriya." he said menacingly as he got up testing his injury to see if everything was ok.

"Me and Bang usually go on patrols around the city and when we heard of a demon assault in this district came straight away but it seems like you guys took care." his friend's expression morphed into a serious scowl but it wasn't directed towards him or anyone in particular given the angle of his head.

"He took care of it all right." bakugo sneered giving a jerking motion to where he assumed todoroki was inside the crowd.

"Midoriya! You should have seen that thing it shrugged off bakugo attacks, like it was nothing.'' Mineta came up squeaking beside the two, only to receive a death glare from bakugo, which made him run and join the group celebrating Todoroki's victory.

"Kacchan" midoriya said with some worry in his tone, he knew that his friend had a big inferiority complex that he was still fighting against so any words he would say to try and console him was going to be considered as pity so he decided to remain quiet. As his friend marched past him to join the group of people.

The crowd seemingly raised in volume and the judges announced that the winner of the costume contest was todoroki, meanwhile genos was approaching the monster sensing that it was still alive, readying to exterminate it with his incinerators but was stopped by bang, after a lengthy discussion about not killing the creature he decided to leave the monster in bang's hand as he waited for the association to pick it up. The rest of the convention carried on like normal other than a steaming bakugo in second place instead of the first he rightfully would have received if the dumb turtle didn't interfere but he didn't care much like the money was going to be his anyways. Todoroki won the main prize pool of 2 million yen while Todoroki won the second prize pool of 1 million yen in which after leaving the event he gave straight to saitama but out of whatever leap in logic the bald hero let him keep the money stating that he should have it as long as he promises not to blow things up around his home, bakugo agreed and the group continued walking, after a the sun was setting they ran into the kid again that had saitama original costume, as the hero was conversing with the child. Bakugo approached Genos, who appeared to be in deep thought, nuding him slightly before asking a question.

"Your creator is some super genius right?"

"Dr. kuseno is possibly the world's greatest scientist." genos said assertively.

"Could he potentially design me some better gauntlets?" bakugo queried, his voice unusually low genos noted from the time he spent with the boy so far.

"Obviously, but the question is why would he?"

"Because I need to get stronger." bakugo admitted. Surprising genos somewhat.

"So you see the limits of your strength and hope to surpass it using technology?" the question earning a scowl from the teen.

"No, I don't want to rely on strength that's not my own, I just want him to improve on the design and make them more efficient if he can."

"And what would I get out of this request? You have been nothing short of aggravating everyone time I encounter you."

"Look I'm….sorry ok, is that what you want to hear?" bakugo said in an even lower voice, looking down at his hands.

"But I need to-" he was cut off as a notebook was thrusted into his face , he took it and the pencil genos was writing with before genos started to speak again.

"Write the details of the design and ability of your power in this book, I'll shall make sure the doctor sees them but know this I do not do this for you, the doctor has been experimenting with your DNA and his results on implementing it to make machines based off it was not returning anything useful but with the information you provide that could change matters. Just a forewarning of what this data could be used for besides upgrading your own equipment." genos said with sincerity, bakugo thought for a moment thinking of the pros and cons of such experiments happening but ultimately decided to go with it, he wanted… no needed to become stronger and this was just the first step into doing just that, he'll take advantage of his time here to improve as much as possible so when he returns home, OFA and AFO won't be the be all end all anymore, neither that half and half bastard either. So with a wordless answer bakugo started to write in the journal all he knew about his quirk and his support items.

The group finally made it back to Saitama's apartment to a waiting king, Saitama having mostly binged the baked potato manga king had given him before he left and immediately went to address the man as he walked in.

"Dude, Baked potato man manga is so dumb, he flies by farting!, FARTING!" he said, exemplifying the ridiculousness of the power.

"You should totally lend me the next volume!" he said excitedly, he didn't seem busy at all king thought to himself.

"Sure thing man, How did the contest go?"

"Todoroki came in first place, followed by bakugo.'' Mineta said the boy in question was only scribbling in a notebook, uncaring about the conversation.

"I came in 10th but your friend here came in dead last with only 8 points." mineta said with a chuckle pointing a thumb at saitama.

"Sensei only came in last, because he gave his hero costume away to someone in need, he was teaching us the lesson of how appearance doesn't matter if you are highly skilled." genos immediately came to his master's defense.

"That's really selfless of you saitama as I would expect from you really, speaking of which you want to go out? My treat, I just won this tournament the other day and I want to repay you for what you did for me as well." king said with sincerity

"Oh that sounds nice actually- wait did you say you won a tournament, was that by chance the wild animals tournament?" saitama questioned

"Yeah that was the one." king said casually. Only earning a dejected sigh from saitama.

" Did you guys try it out as well?" mineta said to todoroki and bakugo who still continued to write in the book leaving only todoroki to answer.

"Yes me and bakugo entered into the contest however I was eliminated in the first round, bakugo was eliminated sometime after." Todoroki commented.

" Same with me, I made it pretty far after I switched up to the vr controls and used my quirk to help me, I was the rat character. I made it pretty far but lost to that dragon guy.`` Mineta replied but Todoroki's reply was shortly caught off by a seething sound coming from bakugo, who looked at the grape kid with seething anger, the pencil in his hand being squeezed to the point it snapped in half.

"So you did cheat, you little shit! Come on, fight me right here right now! No Timers gonna save you this time." bakugo yelled. Making mineta flinch away and look to todoroki for some kind of explanation.

"Bakugo was the lion character, you were the one that took him out of the tournament,'' he said simply.

"You grape trash!" bakugo went and took a step towards the small child who immediately retreated back towards the front door.

"Oh boy, doesn't a nice dinner sound nice, right guys let's go!" he yelled as he ran out the door with bakugo racing behind him screaming at the small child to fight him.

Are you sure about this: Bang, Charanko, Midoriya, Ojiro

Ojiro and Charanko were alone once again as bang and midoriya left on their journey around the city and as the other two fell into step into their normal routine first finishing their run around and some light sparring and practicing forms and stances of the rock smashing fist. Ojiro noted how charanko had gotten more proactive in his training not shying away when bang wasn't around the consequences of this was his ego gotten worse than before he would often bring up the one time he traveled with darkshine and company against those knight creatures and that dragon, ojiro would make it a point not to mention how he initially reacted to the incident and let ojiro bask in his self glory, he seemed like more of a person that could only get things done when his attitude called for it and he made use of that cocky attitude now, he as they just got done practicing their forms before starting towards opposite ends of the arena. The two turned to each other and went into a bow before getting into their respective distances, both looking identical to the other, and charged forth.

The two met in the center of the arena ojiro struck out first with an open palm aimed at charanko's chest, the blow was averted however by charanko who tried to follow up the aversion with a punch of his own directed at ojiro's face he managed to duck the blow but was suddenly yanked forward charanko after diverting the palm strike he wrapped his hand around ojiro's wrist he pulled the unaware teen down and tried to throw a knee directly into the teens gut, ojiro thought quickly however spinning in the direction where his hand was trapped avoiding the knee strike and freeing his wrist in the process.

he used the momentum from the spin to perform a roundhouse kick, charanko decided better than to block the blow but instead used his ducked under the blow attempting to sweep his one leg from under him he succeeded in removing the leg from play, but ojiro shot his hand out catching himself before he could fall noticing the sweeping leg reversing and coming back again he pushed down and pushed up with all his strength to flip him over back on his feet and as he did so he performed an ax kick on the downed form of charanko given his position he couldn't dodge in time instead he braced himself raising both his hands in a cross guard to block the kick which he did successfully before pushing up back standing again and throwing off the kick on his head before responding with a roundhouse kick of his own which ojiro blocked, catching the kick in his hand and throwing the fellow student clear and on to his back before he could recover a fist was in his face in a obvious gesture of checkmate. Charanko let out a sigh as ojiro's expression soften into a smile as his fist became a hand which charanko took.

"Man, you didn't even need to use your tail." charanko sulked

"Don't be like that man, you've gotten much better than when I first got here." ojiro tried to reassure him , his attention was suddenly drawn to a message on his phone off to the side he saw was pictures of midoriya and to his surprise todoroki in front of a large ice sculpture but upon further inspection he saw something inside the ice, it was a giant turtle creature with three heads. He let out a low whistle which drew the attention of charanko who looked also at the image.

"Dang, who managed to do that?" charanko asked.

"More than likely he did , his name's Todoroki he has the power of ice and fire. He's really strong." ojiro said pointing to the red and white haired person on the screen.

"They really are experiencing a lot out there. I couldn't imagine coming face to face with that thing." charanko mentioned shivering at the thought.

"We should ask to go out there sometime, I'm sure the two of us could help people. It doesn't even have to be about fighting monsters, just helping out in our own way." ojiro made sure to mention that last part to not strike fear in his fellow disciples mind. His mind however was already beginning to wonder about saving hot girls from some petty thieves and being rewarded by their numbers or kisses.

"Yeah that sounds great." charanko said with a glazed look in his eyes. Earning a roll of the eyes from ojiro.

"It seems like due to the constant monster activity going on they want us to just continue on with the lesson's ourselves and they'll catch up when they can." ojiro said as he read midoriya's text.

"In that case best 2 out of 3, if I win we chill out for the rest of the day." Charanko snapped from his daze at that sound.

"Sure you're on." ojiro replied before backing up and getting into a stance again.

---

"He said that they will continue on without us then." midoriya told bang.

"Well I hope that remains true, charanko wasn't the most studious of my pupils." bang replied

"It should be fine since ojiro is there, he's very reliable and honor bound to complete a task designated to him." Midoriya replied.

"I can tell, he is very disciplined. With any luck some of that discipline will rub off on charanko." bang said with a small chuckle. Todoroki began to walk back over towards the two as the costume competition came to a close.

"Congratulations on your win todoroki!" Midoriya beamed with a smile.

"It was an unwarranted one. I'll give it that, I came over to talk to you all about the creature. are you sure you guys will be alright?`` Todoroki remarked, jerking a thumb towards the frozen monster.

"Don't worry about us young man, your friend here is plenty strong to take care of things if anything goes wrong." bang remarked, earning a questioning gaze from todoroki who looked back at midoriya.

"Oh, Let me introduce you to mr. bang, he is teaching me and Ojiro about his martial arts. He's an S-class hero number 3, he's crazy strong as well``Midoriya said. Bang held out a hand for Todoroki to shake which the boy did.

"It's nice to meet you mr. bang." Todoroki said.

"No need for such formalities bang is just fine."

"You should meet kacchan while he's here, KACCHAN! Come over and meet my teacher bang.`` Midoriya began trying to flag down his childhood friend, only receiving a harsh glare in their direction before not following.

"Don't mind him, he's just a little upset that he lost the contest to todoroki." a voice said next to them, looking down bang saw a small purple boy there.

"Hello and you may be?" he questioned, holding out his hand.

"I'm mineta, I'm friends with them as well and I'm training under , do you know anything about him bang?" mineta questioned as he shook the old man's hand. Who then rubbed his chin in thought.

"I haven't had too many run-ins with the man himself, I only saw him in person recently, first before the attack on the association and again when we were choosing who from a list of candidates to choose from."

"OOH! Did he elaborate why he chose me?" Mineta was extra curious about what the strongest man in the world saw in him.

"Sorry but no, he only chose you and didn't elaborate any further." bang said with a slight frown

"I actually wanted to teach all of you but they said that most of you wouldn't benefit from martial arts and judging from this I could see why." bang said knocking on the ice that contained the monster.

``Indeed, my main focus of my training was to gain control of my fire and ice sides." todoroki mentioned

"And what of you small one? What power do you have?" bang questioned mintea

" It's dealing with the balls on my head, I can remove them and they can stick to objects or I can use them to bounce off of." Mineta said, demonstrating his ability.

"Well that is …something" bang commented.

"Yeah I know it may not be as amazing as these two." mineta said dejectedly

"Oh no I mean no offense, a power is only as good as the user's creativity and practice, while you may lack the raw powers of your two friends here. Your ability came to make up for it in other ways such as versatility. King is known as the strongest man and if he sees something in you then you must have great potential just beneath the surface, you just need to find it. " bang preached. Earning a glowing smile from mineta.

"Yeah, you're right I'll keep trying and with by my side I'll get better in no time." Mineta said confidently. The four of them began to talk some more before Todoroki and Mineta were called over by genos that they were leaving, the two both said their goodbyes as they left. Leaving midoriya and bang sitting there with the monster encased in ice, unlike previously where there would be a small bus that would take the monster away by the monster association this time their were just four semi large drones that came by and attached four cords unto the ice and began to lift it up and away towards who knows where.

"Do you know where they take the monster they capture?" Midoriya asked bang.

"I do not." bang said as he watched the big ice block get carried away.

Midoriya danger sense kicked in again, along with another alarm of a tiger level threat in district 4, and the two were off again blazing through the streets, given the bloodlust he was feeling he didn't even need ban'g direction to go to the designated area he could just follow along until he finally got to the disaster zone, they came upon a scene in the middle of a shopping mall, the monster was clearly inside the place as civilians quickly ran out of the mall in droves. Midoriya floated over the crowds of masses using his black whip to make his way inside towards the monster, he eventually managed to find it and was surprised to see a large snowman type monster but instead of being made of snow the creature seemed to be made of ice scream instead.

It was making a slow approach towards a small child that was crying in the creatures path, midoriya bounced off the ceiling of the mall his incredible speed taking him in front of the child and unleashing a air force delaware smash that should have blew the monster away into the wall but instead it stayed suspended in the air attached to something that went into the ground, the blood lust drew closer and closer but upon further expectation it wasn't coming from the ice scream man at all but something under it, he quickly took the kid getting her out of danger before returning and finding that the creature was already killed by bang, he had yanked the creature from below the ground using the icecream man, which he imagined acted like an angel fish that would lure in unsuspecting victims for it to swallow whole. The creature itself was an abomination of tree, fish, and ice, having the sharp serrated teeth a mouth structure of said angel fish but was connected towards the ground with roots like a tree which were currently cut out. Its tongue was shaped like an ice cream snowman.

"I didn't mean to kill the creature but it seems that removing it from the roots did so." bang said sorrily.

"It's fine but I'm more curious about what this thing is. What could have evolved into that?" Midoriya wondered aloud. Bang only shrugged his shoulders in response. Before he could ponder even more about it he felt another pang of pain from his danger sense flaring up. He quickly told bang and the two began to race forward towards the next danger, this one was already taken care of however by another hero by the time they got to the scene. The hero was actually the one they saw previously at the concert he had a weird contraption attached to his nose and judging from the smoke that protruded from it he fires things out from it. The creature was a humanoid rat creature but it was already unconscious. Bang decided that was enough for today and the two returned to the dojo to find both ojiro and charanko both doing deep breathing exercises in a meditative stance.

Trust is hard to build: Child emperor, Metal Bat, Koda, Mina, Jiro

"Woohoo! It's finally time!" Mina said as she spun around as she walked forward through the halls of the hero association.

"You do know that even if he talks to them, there's no guarantee that they will suddenly become friendly right?" jiro remarked

"Well at least we can find out why they're so aggressive right?" Mina said, directing her attention towards Koda, who nodded meekly.

"We can if they're willing to talk that is." Koda reminded her.

"Can't you just order them to?" jiro asked curiously, Koda shook his head and looked down at his feet.

"No.. they aren't animals anymore they're something more once they grow through monsterization, I can't command them to do anything but even if I could, I wouldn't that wouldn't help them trust us anymore than they do now and could have the opposite reaction." Koda said with severity in his voice.

"Wow koda, I have never seen you talk like that before. I guess that should be expected since we're talking about animals." Mina's teased, making Koda begin to mumble incoherently somewhat while twisting his fingers around each other in nerves.

"Don't mind her koda, she just wants to pet the ravenous bunnies." Jiro said.

The group of three finally made it towards the limbos which would drop them off at the child emperor's lab, but before they got inside they were taken off guard by a young rough voice.

"Bout time when you show up, I swear you're slow everywhere you go!" Bad exclaimed while waiting there with his signature metal bat.

"Bad , what are you do…doing here?" Koda asked, mumbling his words.

"Well, obviously I'm here to provide the muscle, You said you're gonna try and talk to monsters so when this inevitably goes wrong I'll be there to whack em." he said doing a mock swing with his bat before holstering it.

"We could handle it on our own, we did catch them in the first place after all." Jiro commented.

"And you didn't finish the job, so I'll make sure that doesn't happen again." Bad said as he got into the limo, the three teens looked at each other before getting into the limo . The drive over to child emperor lab was not eventful, mostly just Mina trying to strike up conversation with bad over some topic with some minor input from Jiro every now and then. They soon arrived at the location and the group got out of the car. Metal bat let out a whistle as he gazed upon the huge structure.

"Despite his age, the kid's a genius, I'll give him that."

"Wow." koda remarked.

"Oh, koda, while you're here you should ask, child emperor for some upgrades to your suit." Jiro remarked.

"Yeah, maybe some sound amplifiers for your quirk!" Mina added.

"tch , all that tech and junk will fail you sooner or later and then what? You should rely on yourself and your fighting spirit!" Bad remarked as the group made their way inside.

Jiro only snickered slightly and elbow bumped Mina before whispering to her.

"Substitute fighting spirit for manly and it's like kirishima right here with us." jiro joked. Earning a small chuckle from her friend. "Kinda kirishima's a lot nicer and charismatic" mina mentioned.

"Oh and by charismatic do you mean charming?" Jiro teased, earning and questioning looks from mina. "I have no Idea what you're implying but no, charismatic, he's a nice ,caring and sweet guy."

"I knew you had a crush on him." jiro teased

" I don't honest, he's more like a really good friend." mina pointed out

"That's how they all turned out." jiro said simply as they continued forwards.

The group finally got inside the lab and was immediately approached by child emperor using his spider legs. He showed surprised upon seeing metal bat here as well.

"Metal bat, you're here?"

"Yeah? Got a problem with that?"

"No, just try not to break anything will ya." he said with a sigh before carrying on to the next new face.

"Hey I'm not a kid , as long as nothing bothers me, I won't just smash it, simple as that." bad said with a huff of annoyance.

"And you must be Koda, correct? I'm looking forward to seeing your power in action. I'm curious about what makes these monsters tick." child emperor said, holding out his hand for the young teen to shake, which he did shaking the young boy's hand while returning the greeting. The boy had brought the group to an enclosure, it was a large exhibit that was completely dark but as the group began to approach it quickly de-polarized allowing them to look inside, all eight creatures were inside unconscious.

"I had to keep them sedated so that they could calm down, it's hard to work with these things constantly looking for a way out of their cage." the child emperor said as he gestured to the bunnies in the container. Koda looked at the unconcious creatures and Mina was completely correct in her description. They were essentially giant bunnies the size of a mastiff or big dog breed and from what little he could see of their teeth they were razor sharp and he could see foam coming off their mouths a bit.

"The foam that they secrete from their mouths is a mild paralysis. If a regular human gets bit he would probably struggle to move for five minutes." child emperor continued as the mist that was in the cage began to disburse. The bunnies started to rise from their slumber, shaking their bodies off before, noticing the audience they had in front of them. Immediately two charged forth jumping to attack but crashed into the glass in front of them, they quickly began to growl and hiss instead.

{Cursed humans with their cages and leashes, I swear to kill the small one for what he did to kayla and john}

{ Calm yourselves, wait for your opportunity to strike.}

" What are they saying?" child emperor and mina asked almost simultaneously, although one with more giddy in her voice

"They said that you killed two of them and they want revenge for that." Koda said, looking down at child emperor disapprovingly.

"That I did. ask them how they turned into monsters?" he said nonchalantly, koda shot a downcasted look but did as instructed.

{How did you become like this} koda used his anivoice making the bunnies, thump their hind legs in agitation and confusion.

{Voice? Where is it coming from?} The bunnies looked around confused.

{It's me I can understand and Talk to you all} koda continued, pointing to himself through the glass.

{Human can speak, understand us. Free us humans and your death shall be quick!} one bunny took a step forward in front of the others. Making koda cringe backwards a bit.

{Why do you hate humans so much} Koda quickly asked.

{Human owner, forced us to go through trials, shows, never good enough, always failed, always punished. We decide for ourselves what is enough.} Koda frowned at the statement, he hated abusive owners. he relayed the information to child emperor who didn't seem surprised.

"WHAT! You mean pets can turn into monsters just from being abused? Shouldn't that make being a pet owner extremely unsafe for the unprepared?" Mina said bewildered by that fact.

"We do it's one of the few things the association and police can agree on. To own a pet is likened to owning a firearm. wealthy people have connections however and they can get what they want on a whim if need be." child emperor replied.

"Dang that's messed up." Jiro commented.

{What do you want from us human? We will not be put on show again, we will kill all who try to make us.} the lead bunny hissed out.

"They're asking what we want to do with them." koda translated

"Well I assume they don't want to be pets anymore?" Mina said, Koda immediately shook his head at the proposal.

"Then I don't know. We could try to find a spot for them to live but they have to promise to not attack humans again." child emperor mentioned.

"Why bother I say we finish them here and now." Bad said, putting his hand to the glass. The bunnies almost immediately reacted, huddling up together and foaming even stronger in the mouth.

{monster fear, monster, fear} the bunnies chanted. Koda immediately turned to bad

"No, if they agree to leave peacefully then they should be able to just live out in the woods like any other creature." Koda said with conviction, Bad merely sucked his teeth and removed his hand from the glass, the bunnies noticeably relaxing as the aura he presented was gone.

{What if we can take you all away from here, would you just leave? If you promise not to attack humans again we can find you all a place to be safe.}

{How can we trust you human} another bunny steps away from the pack.

{because you are still here, my friends and I are different from the other hero that would have just killed you.} Koda tried to reason. Pointing towards mina and jiro, the bunnies murmured to themselves a bit lowly, they seemed to be arguing if he was just blowing shit or really offering the carrot, the group remembered how the child was the one that killed the there brother and sister while the two girls mainly just restrained them so he could be telling the truth but that was a risky gambit to take.

{where is this land you will take us?} for that koda was speechless, he turned to ask child emperor but he had no idea either and needed to check for available areas.

{We don't know yet but we'll look, just be patient in the meantime ok?} Koda asked hopefully that they would understand. They more or less did, they never replied but settled themselves in the cage environment they were in. the screen polarized again showing black again.

"Well at least we made progress ." jiro mentioned.

"Sucks I can't pet one of them though they just look so fluffy" mina whined

"Yeah and they can rip your throat out.' metal bat muttered but before Mina responded another monster alarm rang through the lab. It was a threat level demon.

"Whew finally something I can go smash, you guys stay here and play animal whisper I got this." he said marching away with his metal bat in his hands.

"Well in the meanwhile, do you mind if I can get more samples of your voice?" child emperor asked koda.

"Um..sure why?"

"From what I can tell, your voice seems to have a debilitating effect on the monster that hears it. Maybe I could replicate that pitch in frequency to make something that can stun them."

"Well in return can I get a better amplifier for my costume as well? Something to boost my voice so it can be heard from farther away without modulation?" Koda asked in return.

Child emperor nodded and the two went off towards the labs to experiment, followed closely behind by jiro and mina who in the meantime got more practice in using their new upgraded items on bots.

Out and about: Stinger, Yaoyorozu, Kaminari

Just like the previous days momo and kaminari both met with driveknight in his storage room, kaminari had improved his dual processing to reach his original limit of 300 million volts while Yaoyorozu was still ongoing with her bo staff/spear training occasionally being brought into the city with stinger to continue to learn from an experienced fighter. While the two were in their respective areas stinger had made another appearance halting the sparring that momo and drive knight was in the middle of.

"I'll be taking the princess out for a ride, don't worry she'll be back before midnight." stinger joked, earning a slight blush from momo and only an unamused glare from drive knight. As the two exited their training arena, they three were approached by kaminari as well.

"Can I go with them please?" the teen said, placing his hands together in a begging motion, rocking them back and forth.

"Why? You won't really learn anything from participating with them." drive knight said.

"Oh! Come on, I'm so bored here, I wanna go out and see the world.`` Kaminari complained.

"If I may interject, while training one's quirk is essential, shouldn't he see the fruits of his labor in combat so that he could be more motivated to try harder in his efforts." Yaoyorozu cut-in. drive knight turned towards her as if processing her argument and then relented and looked towards stinger for confirmation, but soon realized the man wasn't really paying attention to the conversation at hand.

"And what about you, what are your thoughts on this stinger." hearing his name must have snapped him back into the moment as he briefly reorganized himself before answering.

"Yeah sure whatever the more the merrier. I always say." stinger said, leaning on his spear somewhat. "As long as he doesn't slow me down." he said cheekily.

"In that case I see no reason why you can't join them." drive knight relented

"Alright! Awesome. thanks yaomomo" kaminari said giving the girl a thumbs up.

"Alright let's get this show on the road." stinger said, beginning to walk out of the room, quickly followed by the two teens. As they were walking out of the building stinger decided to address the extra he had on his team for the day.

"So kid what's your hero name and gimmick?" stinger asked

"My hero's name's chargebolt and if by gimmick you mean power than it's the ability to channel electricity through my body.'' Kaminari said confidently, receiving a whistle from stinger in return.

"Sounds cool, can you do things like summon storms or shoot out lightning from your eyes." stinger said, starting to walk backwards absentmindedly twirling his spear around his body. Kaminari let out a small chuckle before answering.

"Nah man, nothing like that. I can expel and absorb electricity through my body but indiscriminately I don't have much control over it or who it affects so once we get into a fight try to keep your distance.`` Kaminari said, rubbing the back of his head, drawing attention to the device on his arm.

"What's that on your arm?" stinger said pointing to the metal device.

"Oh this, it's the way I get over my previous deficits, I can shoot out these disks from here and it allows me to more directly channel my electricity towards a target." kaminari said while trying to flip his pointer in the air but missing the catch, making Momo laugh at his mad scramble to pick the thing back up.

"Where are we going today, stinger?" momo asked

"We are going to V-city, nothing special going on but just take a tour of the town. Kill a couple of monsters that may pop up here or there. You know the usual." stinger said, spinning his spear again before turning back around and walking with his spear in the crook of the back of his neck.

"Stinger…please I've asked you to at least spare the ones you can safely capture, taking a human life or otherwise shouldn't be done in excess. What of the families of people that turned into monsters.`` Momo nagged the pro hero who just waved her off.

"Yeah, yeah…I know, I know. I'm just saying it's so much easier to get the job done and over with instead of waiting for that damn bus everywhere." Kaminari looked at his friends, perplexed by her statement.

"Wait, humans can become monster's here?" Momo nodded her head.

" Apparently, the association is still trying to figure out the how or why, but if the person obsesses, hates, or even is discouraged enough it can cause a monster type transformation and a complete change in attitude and state of mind."

"Which is why I say killing them is much better, it's essentially a different person entirely. Don't give people false hope of their loved ones coming back." Stinger said his voice was getting progressively lower until he whispered his last sentence.

"That's why we came up with our deal, right? I'll stick by it so you better make sure you get stronger to handle it.`` Stinger said his voice suddenly went loud again as he flashed a smile back at the girl.

"Deal?" Kaminari also looked at his friends with confusion.

"Yes, me and stinger tired of arguing about this topic decided that if I could subdue the monster myself all well and fine we could capture it but if I cannot then he can kill it, if possible."

"Well that should be simpler than with me here." kaminari said, sticking a thumb to his chest while inflating it somewhat to look bigger.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that, monsters are getting tougher around not many wolf levels running around anymore and if it's a demon level monster then just forget about it." stinger said

"Wolves are the danger level we're most adequate to deal with at our current level, they are the weakest danger level, sometimes depending on the ability or matchup we could take on tiger level threats as each monster is an individual and the threat levels are mostly categorical as it seems." momo said answering kaminari's questioning gaze

"Ah…I think I get it." Kaminari said.

The group finally made it to the car that would take them to V-city, the drive was anticlimactic mostly just them talking about landmarks and stadiums they passed on their way towards the designated city. As they got to the city they were immediately greeted with the sound of alarms three monsters were spotted around the city each with the threat level of tiger, thinking quickly the stinger decided to split the in two he would go by himself while the two teens would travel together to attack another when queried about the third he assured them that their our other heroes that should be able to take care of it but if not they could just reconvene there. So they set out to follow the plan. Momo and kaminair made it to the scene only to find a giant flock of crows, they had glowing red eyes and they're bodies were somewhat larger than normal but their wings were incredibly sharp he saw one of them being capable of cutting straight through a lamp poll, which began falling towards a civilian that had tripped and fell but before either teen could reach the fallen victim she was saved by a someone His superhero suit consists of red gloves and helmet, a black eye mask, and an orange suit with a yellow cape. He completely managed to grab the women and escape the falling pole and appeared in front of the two, setting the woman down and letting her run away, he held a donut in his hands that he just finished taking a bite of before addressing them.

"I assume you guys are heroes right? If you don't have any wide range attacks I suggest getting out of here, they gotta be around 100 of them and the more you take down the angrier they get." food battler wheezed out.

"Are there any more civilians in the area?" Momo questioned earning a shake of the head from food battler.

"Good, you said they get aggressive if you attack some of them right? creati do you mind? " Kaminari mentioned, picking up on what Kaminari wanted to do, she created one of her cement guns and began shooting into the horde of birds, trapping a couple of them and sending them crashing down towards the ground. The flock seemed to take notice and charged forth almost scarring food battler into retreat if he wasn't held in place by momo, who summoned a giant shock resistant cover and signaled to kaminari that she was ready. The murder of crows was closing in quickly and Kaminari began charging his quirk, feeling the electricity start to course through his body and exit at an accelerated rate.

"INDISCRIMINATE SHOCK 10 MILLION VOLTS!" Kaminari screamed as a burst of electricity began to surge outwards all around him, hitting and chaining through the bird flock and knocking all of them unconscious. Food battler came from out under the cover and looked at the carnage in front of him.

"Woah." was the only thing he managed to get out.

"Yeah, I'm totally awesome." Kaminari said briefly, flashing his electricity.

"Well that threat is neutralized, we should move on to the next. Would you mind calling the association to pick this up mr…" momo asked after fixing her costume from creating the large tarp.

"You can just call me food battler or Futoshi and sure I'll call them up and don't worry I'll mention you guys to give you credit," he said.

"Thanks." momo said before quickly leaving towards the next disaster area where the monster was located, they arrived just in time to see stinger standing off to the side, as two hero fought on against a creature that seemed to be an ogre, the hero that were fighting it was a man with a bow and arrow and a dark skinned man with a small knife. The ogre had multiple arrows in its body and was moving clumsy and then the knife wielder struck out quickly, cutting the creature multiple times before retreating back to his original position. The monster began to froth at the mouth and gurgle as it went down.

"Why didn't you help them?" momo asked

"They didn't want me to, it would split the reward and notoriety." stinger said, chilling on a car watching over the fight.

"Notoriety? Reward?" kaminari mentioned

"You guys sure don't know anything about the profession you're trying to be a part of do you? Heroes fight monsters to gain notoriety and money, the higher the monster threat you defeat with the fewer people the more your standing in the association increases, especially if you have a low rank. " he said as he began to walk away.

"So there is a competitiveness amongst heroes to compete amongst each other? Shouldn't they be working together instead" momo questioned

"It happens occasionally, we don't really hate each other but we don't want to get in the way of each other's advancement."

"And the fastest way to advance is by doing things yourself." kaminari commented.

"You're starting to get it. Now while we wait for the next one to spring up, creationist how about a spar match?" stinger said.

"Really? Now ?" momo said in disbelief.

"Yeah, why not? No time but the present." stinger said with a cocky grin.

"Um..sure I guess." Momo answered, she still needed to practice after all.

"Well I'll be just recording you getting your but whooped, don't mind me." Kamnair said, taking out his phone receiving an annoyed glance from momo.

"What!? You could go over the video and find out what you did wrong." he replied with a smirk on his face. Only receiving a roll of the eyes in return and with that done the two began to fight.

Turning up the G's: Darkshine, kirishima, Sato

Sato and kirishima were both chatting amongst themselves as they were walking towards the gym about various topics before entering and being greeted by their usual teacher darkshine already preparing for by doing some basic physical exercises like push ups, he stopped to greet the two boys and with the pleasantries out of the way the two teens got to work on weight lifting machines and other exercises. The two boys had grown into a sort of competition in their time training, each trying to one up the other or racing on who could perform a set of reps faster. The entire time however, Kirishima was kind of distracted, often taking glances over at the gravity machine in the room.

"You're really curious about aren't you." sato said, taking a break from the machine he was working on to look over at the red head.

" You aren't? It's like a fantasy come true.`` Kirishima said, looking over at the machine some more.

"Well why not just ask to try it out, it's been over a week since we got here I'm sure we're ready for it." sato remarked, earning a shining smile from the redhead in return, before turning and yelling out to darkshine who just came back from the bathroom.

"Darkshine can we please use the gravity machine now?" Kirishima begged, basically running up next to the giant, surprising him slightly.

"Ugh, sure. I'm pretty sure you guys are ready for it at this moment albeit at a somewhat lower level." darkshine said as he made his way over to the machine. Eagerly followed by the two teenagers behind him.

"Alright, before we begin I'll list out how this machine works and how the training with it will commence." darkshine than went on to state how the machine applied gravity vertically on the body and describe the effect it will have on the teens which included obviously increasing the mass of the occupant inside but increasing the pressure the occupant would receive; how they will find it hard to breath, their blood would and heart would begin to pump faster and harder to compensate for the extra strain the body would experience, it was for this reason why it was a dangerous process to do without supervision. After going through everything he believed to be important.

"Alright who's going in first." darkshine gestured to the machine. Both teens excited to try out the new invention both wanted to go first eagerly volunteering for first dibs and after a quick game of rock, paper, scissors kirishima quickly came out on top to the begrudging look of sato. Kirishima got into the machine and after a brief prepping period held out a hands up for darkshine to start the machine.

"Alright I'm going to start you guys off at 3x gravity." darkshine said as he activated the machine, Kirishima instantly felt his heart begin to pump faster and his hearing slightly lessen. He tested raising and lowering his arms and legs feeling the increased effort needed to try and move just a single part of his body but it was manageable for him. He looked up to darkshine and spoke feeling the extra effort just to form the words in his mouth.

"Turn it…up" kirishima's voice made it out of the machine.

"Alright, we're going to 4x gravity..now."

Kirishima instantly noticed how on top of being heavier he felt his movements become sluggish, his eyesight started to slightly falter but he was ok for the most part to continue to move his arms and legs freely. Darkshine advised the teen to start doing basic exercises while inside like jumping jack, legs lifts, and handstands, which kirishima managed to do mostly just fine before becoming more sluggish at the end nearly falling during his handstand pushups, darkshine took that as his queue for the teen to stop, shutting down the machine and letting the teen exit. He looked stupped as he got out of the machine coming back to normal gravity. Everything felt lighter and his increased heart rate took a moment to calm down, having to take a seat to get fully situated. Sato was next and having seen kirishima go in was more confident in himself to manage the same thing.

Just like previously darkshine started with 3x the gravity just for the teen to experience and get a feel for the effect that the increased gravity would have on the body after some time to acclimate to the changes to his body sato nodded and darkshine obliged by turning up the dial, the teen immediately went to work performing the exercises that he sent his friend do 30 jumping jacks, leg lifts, and standing push ups.

He thought of trying to one up the his friends by increasing the gravity even more but instead he just decided to do more exercises while under the same gravity deciding to do 30 squats as well before faltering out and nearly falling towards the ground, he felt that familiar numbness of his quirk on his mind before suddenly being lifted when the machine turned off. Sato walked out and felt his head instantly begin to clear again. His heart rate and pulse was still accelerated so he decided to sit along with kirishima. Darkshine noted that this was a good time for their break and went into the machine himself before setting a timer and putting it on its max setting of 100, the two teens staired in bewilderment as they saw the man effortlessly move around like nothing had changed at all.

"Dakshine is surely something." Kirishima said, breathing heavily as he looked to sato.

"Yeah… man… I Would …probably be…crushed …in there." sato said through heavy pants of his own. As the minutes ticked down and darkshine time in the machine came to an end and he looked as refreshed as he walked in. Kirishima was curious when sato stuck with them throughout the day.

"You don't have anything with pig god today?"

"Nah, not today he had some other things to deal with today and told me to just stay with you all for now." sato remarked

"Well in that case, how about a friendly spar between the two of you." darkshine said.

"Hell yeah I'm down." Kirishima said Harding his fist some and turning to sato.

"Sure, it's been a while since I went up against you." Sato replied, the two teens went over to the boxing ring in the back of the gym and got into opposite corners as Darkshine acted as referee; he counted the teens down before officially starting the match.

Sato quickly popped one of his sweet pills that he calls them and charged towards kirishima, who reacted by quickly harden his body softening the blow slightly but still reeling from the pain of the punch, he attempted to retaliate with a punch of his own but he dodged out of the way before the hit could land, another punch rocked kirishima in the side of the head forcing him back one step as well, quickly raising his hands to guard his face from another flurry of blows, he knew the next strike would probably be aimed at his gut so he retaliated in kind both blows struck home in dead center both teens clutching their stomach in pain.

Kirishima recovered faster than sato did however and went on the offensive launching a right haymaker that sato quickly ducked before being caught by the second haymaker from the left side, staggering the man back somewhat but not before sato could get off a jab straight into kirishima's cheek. The fight continued back and forth for some time. The two teens traded blow after blow and ultimately it was kirishima to come out on top. After 10 minutes of fighting, being the sportsman he was, Kirishima helped him get up from the floor as Sato congratulated him on his victory.

"Why didn't you use that super mode you have?" darkshine questioned.

"Oh, you mean unbreakable? Well it would be a little unfair to have a fight with some that can't damage you so I didn't use it.`` Kirishima mentioned.

"He's right I definitely couldn't hurt him in that form. If someone like machia couldn't, I would probably just end up hurting my hand." sato said with a chuckle

"You really evolved your quirk, while I just squandered my time with mine." sato said disparagingly

"Hey man it's alright, I'm sure you're gonna find something cool with your quirk as well and look on the bright side you've been training wrong all this time but you still made it into UA, the only reason I probably won right now was that I'm used to talking hits." kirishima tried to ensure his friend earned a smile in response and a raised fist which he bumped.

"That's the spirit!, let's get to training right away, that fight was just what your muscles need to get their engines going completely." darkshine said as he went back over to the weight machines followed by the kirshima and sato.

Think outside the box: Tank topper, Shoji

Shoji, tank philosopher, and tank girl were currently in the weight machine room inside of the tank top headquarters as he worked alongside them he realized that a number of the machines mostly focused on the upper body ignoring the lower body completely. He decided to ask his two companions about this odd peculiarity.

"Remember what I told you about the chosen one? Too large to fit inside of any shirt besides a tank top? While not believing in such prophecy, they do believe that the tank tops' powers solely rely on one upper body.`` The tank top philosopher said. Shoji simply nodded his head and looked to tank girl for maybe a more normal explanation that wouldn't leave him more confused than when he asked his question.

"I don't know, it's some weird infatuation with muscles. Maybe we still have our own leg days but it's just not the main focus. Most of the tank toppers fight with their hands not their legs anyways so they may just not find the need to work on their legs as much.' tank girl offered with a shrug. Earning a nod from Shoji understanding them a bit more from the conversation.

"You're much the same in that regard, so far I've only seen you punch when you enter combat." tank philosopher said.

"Well when you can sprout as many arms as I can it's only natural, an overwhelming number of blows should make quick work of my opponents, which don't usually even have half as many arms." Shoji stated confidently. Earning a chuckle from the girl beside him.

"Well traditionally I would agree with you, but what if someone or some monster is just fast enough to keep up with them regardless? I'm sure tank philosopher could dodge all of your punches no matter how many arms you sprout up and If I'm remembering correctly I didn't fare too badly against you when we had our spar last week." she said with a cheeky smile. Shoji thought back to his world and his fight in the arena with that energizer guy.

"You correct that, there are things I can try to approve one when using my ability but I'm not sure how? What other things could I create from the human body to fight better." he queried his seniors for an answer.

"I don't know, I'm still curious how your additional arms work? Are they just as strong as your normal ones? Does training with them help them grow stronger?" tank girl speaking her thoughts out loud, not really looking for an answer. Before he could answer one of her rambling questions, tank philosopher spoke his thoughts in his teens direction.

"I think you're going about it all wrong, maybe you don't need to create anything more but change the angle of your attacks." tank philosopher said, taking a break from his machine to look at the teen who also stopped working out to listen to what the hero had to say.

"What do you mean by changing the angle of attack?" Shoji questioned. Was he suggesting not to aim at the opponent or to target a specific part of the opponent specifically? The older hero gestured to the ring and the three went over towards the area. Tank girl waited outside while they got inside.

"Attack me like I'm a real threat, don't hold back." tank philosopher said as he put his book down at the edge of the ring before returning to the center of the ring. Shoji nodded his head and sprouted out multiple arms as tank philosopher signaled for him to begin. He began to throw multiple punches at his mentor, his octo-blow at full swing, but to his surprise most of his attacks were missing and those that didn't outright directly miss were blocked by the man's hands after a couple of minutes shoji began to slow down and eventually stop himself.

"You see? I told you, you wouldn't have been able to hit him even if you tried." tank girl said from the sidelines.

"I wanted to display the hazards of the way you're fighting. If the opponent can perceive and outmaneuver your attacks it is just a waste of energy, however if you can change the trajectory of your attacks then you can become more unpredictable and harder to anticipate." philosopher began.

"And how do you expect me to do that?" shoji questioned

"Well depends on how your arms work really, when you create something does it immediately take shape or can you choose when that part sprouts out?" tank philosopher asked

"If I understand what you're saying then yes, when I create eyes or ears I can create them from on top of the extensions." Shoji said, demonstrating it by growing an extension from his back with the metal under suit seeming like living metal that culminated at the end with a metallic ear.

"Excellent, now do something similar with your hands, grow an appendage outwards and then from that appendage launch your punch, this could allow you to attack from multiple angles that your opponent may not expect." tank philosopher concluded.

"Well I never tried something like that but it's worth a shot." Shoji complied. Growing out an appendage and then starting to create an arm with a fist from that appendage, it worked but the punch was incredibly flimsy, mostly flopping to the ground lacking power.

" It seems that something like this lacks the leverage to work." Shoji commented.

"Don't give up too soon, you just need to increase the speed of your creation. Not Unlike a regular punch that you can wind up with your body, think of when you're creating the arm and fist as the wind up create it as fast as possible and have it explode out." tank philosopher instructed. Shoji nodded his head and tried to do as his instructor said, he grew out an appendage again and tried to explosively push out his fist from that appendage the technique worked much better that time the fist launched forward before quickly slowing down and falling towards the ground.

"WOOHOO! There you go, shoji." tank girl cheered from the side.

"Yes there it is, if you can evolve that technique, you can attack your opponents from different angles and throw them off allowing you to follow-up with your main barrage." tank top philosopher commented. Shoji nodded in understanding but as he began to reel in his extended arm he began to think about if he missed the attack it would leave him extremely exposed for counter attack but he figured that it was just a dupliarms it didn't really matter if the opponent to the chance to attack it in fact it could act as bait to avoid the opponent attacking him directly as well.

"Alright I'll work on it." Shoji said with finality as he continued to try and attempt to use his new style of attack, he also was trying to think of a name for this style of fighting. He was able to practice his form for about 2 hours before the monsters alarms caught his attention, the location was incredibly close by tank philosopher ad tank girl said but he never realized that close meant right outside their building, as the three made their way outside the stranger noticed them, the man was human but his muscles were somewhat unnatural compared to his small frame, his hands were covered in what looked like boxing gloves but they were seemingly fused into his skin, they were a dark red color that seemingly pulsed as he was finished punching a nearby wall leaving an impact crater that was much bigger than he would expect for what the punch seemed to expect. The man had a fairly standard face but a sharp chin with glowing red hair.

"The Tank top's finally Bring me your boss I'll pummel him right here. Right now." the stranger started slamming his fist together which pulsed again.

"Can't we just talk about this" tank girl said exasperated, today was supposed to be their training day, not dealing with monsters or weirdos.

"Unfortunate to tell you, he's not here today. He's out" tank philosopher said, reading his book.

"Well that's too bad for you three I'll pummel you three instead as a message." the stranger remarked.

"He seems serious, shoji do us a favor and restrain him for us?" tank philosopher said as he closed his book and looked towards the teen.

"Me? Wouldn't it just be better if we just restrained him together?" shoji questioned

"And deprive the gentlemen of the 1 on 1 fight that he so desperately craves? He would only be more spiteful if we beat him that way." tank philosopher reasoned.

"We know you got this tentacole, go get him!" tank girl said, shoving him towards the walking onlooker. He gave an exaggerated look back at the two and in return all he received back was a sly smile and thumbs up, he rolled his eyes and turned back around to the mysterious boxer and got ready for a fight.

"Why do you want to fight tank top master anyways?" Shoji asked the stranger.

"That guy wouldn't let me join the tank tops, saying my signature jabs were too weak, so I trained and trained my jabs and now no one can withstand many of them. I'll kick his ass them I'll take over the tank tops myself. " he stated

"All this just because he wouldn't let you join? Isn't that a bit childish" shoji tried to dissuade him, only achieving the opposite.

"I'll show you childish, right here!" he yelled

He wasn't lying about the speed of his jabs, they were incredibly quick he almost didn't realize when the blow had struck him, landing directly on his right cheek but tank top master was also right when he deduced they didn't have much power, he recovered quickly and shot out his hands to try and grab the individual but each hand as they drew close was punched away by a flurry of jabs from the man, the last of which was completely blown back surprising shoji somewhat with the power behind the last shot. He quickly recovered his arms back to himself and turned them into fist, he performed his famous octo blow technique fitting each of them forwards at different intervals. The boxer took this as a challenge firing back with multiple jabs to match the number of punches coming his way, he was mostly successful shoji had successfully landed a number of punches into the strangers stomach and face but occasionally the jabs and punches would clash and shoji started to realize that they were seemingly getting stronger. At first when their fist clashed it would merely cancel each other out but after a number of clashes he would start to completely blow back shoji's hand's. The exchange lasted only a few minutes but soon enough most of shoji dupli arms were blown back before, the stranger took his chance to launch another jab straight into shoji's stomach which he blocked with his inner hands but the force of the blow still sent him skirting back a couple of feet.

"Haha, you like that? The more I hit something the stronger my jabs become." the strange bragged. Before dashing forward again, to deliver a flurry of jabs, forcing shoji to dodge out of the way, before he launched his arms out again to strike but the three arms were completely blown away by the jabs.

He noticed the gloves or hands were continuing to pulse at an even quicker pace. Shoji thought quickly as the man charged again. He used his hands to grab a sewer cover and used it to block the fist coming towards him, it didn't have nearly as much weight behind it that it did previously, he used it for defense as he struck out again with his dupilarms, but they were swiftly blown away but not without landing some hits, the boxer went to strike again and hit the makeshift shield denting the metal plating before shoji decided to throw it away, the boxer went to strike again but was cut off guard as a punch suddenly eclipsed the top of his head, before he could realize what hit him another punch came from the side, knocking him off balance, giving shoji enough time to grab the man's hands and legs lifting him off the ground before slamming him down into the concrete. Knocking the boxer unconscious.

"Let's go shoji!" tank girl screamed from the sidelines as she raced forward to jump on the teens back.

"It seems that new move came in handy, now didn't it?" tank philosopher said with a smile.

In Shoji's last attack he stationed two nodes above and to the right of the boxer, knowing that his dupli-arms would get blown away again he held those nodes in the prime position to strike after the boxer assumed he was disarmed.

Shoji shook tank girl off him and replied.

"It sure did and I learned it just in the nick of time to. It was a little too convenient." Shoji said skeptically, starting to actually think what this man say's about that book may be true.

"I wish I could say it was all planned but unfortunately I cannot." tank philosopher said with a sly grin which made Shoji doubt if what he said was true or not.

"Please don't let this nutjob get to you, convenient timing can happen from time to time." tank girl remarked.

"You're correct about that." shoji replied

"Anyways now that we must wait for the association to arrive we could just call this a break." tank philosopher said. Earning a chipper reply from tank girl and a nod of the head from shoji as they picked the mysterious boxer up and carried him inside the gym.

No pain no gain: Tatsumaki, uraraka

Uraraka made a mental note that when ms tornado says that her training will be extra hard for that session not to go because this was insane, although she doubted that would work and may even make things even harder for her or worst yet she personally track her down but ignoring those hypotheticals of ignoring what she was currently going through asie. Tatsumaki training was normally pretty tuff on her she would usually poke and prod at the edges of her abilities whether physical or the limits of her quirk which she appreciated somewhat and made her see the heroine in a slightly different light, underneath all that anger and superiority she exudes lies a girl that does want to help her get stronger, in her own twisted way. That was all thrown out the window today however almost a soon as landing she had increased the gravity on uraraka by a factor of 5 the sudden extra weight nearly toppling the girl to the ground but she managed to catch herself falling to one knee and struggling to but managing to stand up which she found was an achievement of in of itself but before she could relish in that achievement she quickly saw the flying rock headed straight for her head.

she let her increased gravity throw her to the ground narrowly avoiding the stone that whooshed past her head. She struggled to yell as she forced her head up just in time to see multiple rocks about to hit her laying down form, but subtly be diverted away from her at the last minute. Crashing all around her mean while others were levitating in the air next to the green heroine who looked completely uninterested in the events taking place before her.

"You have 5 minutes to get used to it before I begin again." the girl said as she floated the rocks near her making them spin around her floating form before simultaneously dropping them all to the ground. Uraraka breathed a somewhat sigh of relief that girl wasn't going to be that crew and just continually pelt her with rocs as she was on the ground but that still left her with this gravity situation, suddenly becoming 5x times heavier and everyone movement needing five times the energy to accomplish really took a toll on her stamina and from the compromise position on the ground it took a lot of time to get back up on her feet.

She tested by just raising her hands up and down and twisting her body. even those simple motions took more effort than she would have thought they would. She took a chance to move her whole body in her traditional dodging maneuvers before settling down from the strain of it all, if she had to guess she had around a minute left to spare going by the rocks steadily levitating back into their position when tornado dropped them. She began to brace herself taking multiple deep breaths and clearing her mind and focusing on dodging out of the way.

As the rocks met their summit they instantly shot forth an entire line of rocks, quickly as she could attempted to run under the barrage successfully avoiding them or so she thought as she attempted to look back she was struck in the back the impact lifting off her feet as the rocks that she just went under swept back around and hit her. She was now on all fours and she looked up to see the rocks that just past coming back around to strike again, she reacted as best she could putting as much power in her legs to dodge the oncoming line of rocks barely being successful jumping over the oncoming line but unlike previously she didn't think she was out of the woods yet and she was right as she turned around the rocks were coming for her again, she figured that unlike before she was just launching the rocks at her she was using them now like lock-on missiles.

She steady herself prepared for line of rocks to strike next, she noticed the rocks were to high to jump over this time but as she went to go under the line a number of the rocks started to branch of splitting evenly equal low and equal high understanding what tatsumaki wanted her to do she braced herself to just that jumping between the rock lines, she successfully managed to jump through the lines but struggled to find her footing again and ended up falling on the ground, she quickly began to try and get up again before the rocks could circle around again and she managed to do so but what greeted upon turning wasn't a line of rocks any more but a swarm of them turning every which way looking like a swarm of bees.

The circle of violent rocks charged at her as she began to try and get away from it using all her strength in backing up before turning around in a full sprint away from the flying rocks but not making it very far as suddenly a rock wall completely stopped her forwards momentum, she thought of being going around but the wall was to wide before the swirling swarm of stone would reach her. She contemplated trying to float over it but that was ruled out as she was under tatsumaki's power forcing her to stay grounded so she did the only other thing she could do and face down the swirling stones as it bore down on her. She was soon absorbed by the stones but to her surprise she wasn't hit by any at all, the rocks just absorbed her whole and started swirling around her, she tried to move out of them but the rocks seemed to move with her keeping her directly in the center, she then decided to calm down and watch the rocks as they flowed and swirled around her. If the situations were somewhat different she would have marveled at the spectacle of the rock flowing around her but given the situations she knew better.

Just as she thought she felt a pang of pain on the back of her left shoulder, as a rock had hit her there and flowed back into the swirling tornado around her. She tried to search around the swirling rocks and tried to anticipate which rock would come gunning at her next but everytime she looked one way the rock would strike in her blind spot, trying a different tactic she tried to stay on the move, hopping to offer up a harder target for the esper to hit and while marginally successful being able to avoid some of the rocks that tried to attack her under the effects of the five time gravity it wasn't sustainable plan to keep going she grew tired and running out of other options to do, to give herself more time to think she decided to huddle up trying to block all of her vulnerable spots before hearing the voice of tatsumaki above her.

"Are you really just gonna sit there and take it?" Tatsumaki exclaimed.

As she said that another rock struck this time it hit much harder than previously almost like a full blown punch from a man, the blow rocked her to the side slightly and nearly knocked her off her feet but she managed to stabilize. She just managed to recover again before being hit again from the other side knocking her the other way, she racked her brain on what tatsumaki wanted her to do about this situation, what could she do the rocks would follow her around anywhere she went, she didn't have anything on hand that could bat the rocks away or crush them. After the next hit hit her in the gut she hunched over, getting the wind knocked out of her. She started to try and think about what tatsumaki wanted from her, she looked around her at the rocks again and this time noticed that one of the rock stopped moving and then shot out forth nearly hitting her in the head but she successfully managed to dodge it in time. She kept trying to think about what to do as she took notice of any rock that remained still readying themselves to rocket towards her and dodge out of the way.

"You can't win by dodging." tatsumaki gave what she could assume was another clue on what she wanted to do to beat this challenge she had created for her so she had to think quickly as the rock began to hit even harder than previously be consequently would have a longer wind up time where they would be motionless, finally deciding on a plan of action she reach out a hand to grip one of the rocks that was standing still. To her surprised she was easily able to move the rock away from its standing position, using her quirk on it she then attached the rock to her grappling hook and repeated the process four more times before starting to whack the rocks that surrounded her destroying the rocks that surrounded her at the expense of the rocks she had gathered on her grappling hooks and she repeated the process over again and again seeing the swirling mob of rocks slowly thin out and disappear around her gave her a new found strength that she didn't know she had and kept going faster and faster than before. Eventually all the rocks had been cleared but not without her own fair licks that the rocks struck back, the attacks began to happen much faster than before and quickening more and more as the number of rocks began to decrease, she finally managed to destroy all of them and lifted up the last one before grabbing it in her own hands and smashing it towards the ground, before finally falling towards the ground herself her energy completely expended but just as she prepared for one more rough and bumpy landing on scatter debris at her feet she found herself gently lifted off the ground and placed on a smooth set of land facing towards the sky. Tatsumaki floated above her, staring down at the girl with a smug grin on her face.

"You have 30 minutes before your normal training begins."

Uraraka was bewildered at the statement but as she felt the gravity around her go back to normal she just decided to enjoy her break while she could and closed her eyes while catching her breath.

Villains still exist in a place like this: Sweet mask, Watchdog man, Aoyama, Asui

Aoyama and sweet mask were back in q-city after having his concert their he would have a number of fan meet ups scattered throughout the city and as such would be in the city for most of the week aoyama didn't mind this as much as it gave him more opportunity to see the world along with his friend asui no less, but first sweet mask wanted to meet the girl himself given that he wasn't able to before.

"So this is your friend asui? Was it" sweet mask said staring down at the girl. He was a whole foot taller than the girl and his demeanor and tone didn't give off a very friendly tone for the frog girl who nodded and replied.

"Yes sir." asui replied hesitantly

"And your….. Ability is that of a frog?" he questioned

"Yes sir." she replied confirming it by using her powers to cloak herself and make her invisible before returning to normal again.

"Interesting, interesting indeed. A rather unsightly ability but if harnessed could hold some merit." he said before turning around and walking inside the building readying himself for the fan meet up, tsu was going to reply back towards the hero but a hand on her shoulder stopped her, she turned to look at the offender finding it to be aoyama who simply shook his head at her, telling her not to speak.

"Just let it go, if anything that's the best you're gonna get from him." aoyama said

"Is he always that condescending?" asui asked

"Mostly but you learn to deal with it, he's not that bad, he's….just a perfectionist is all." aoyama said with a slight chuckle.

"If you say so." Asui said still skeptical of the events.

"Well what do you want to do now, watchdog man is here so and sweet mask is plenty strong so we don't have to worry about them being attacked by monsters." Aoyama asked the green girl.

"Well I don't know, I never really got the chance to just explore around before besides my first day here, so we could just start walking already and see what's new." tsu stated, and the two did just that they began walking and exploring the city the two shared stories with each other and discussed a variety of topics, tsu realized that despite being in the same class she's never really talk to the teen before in fact she never really see much of anyone interact with the teen very often.

"Who do you hang out with most in the class?" tsu asked.

"Well everyone madmazel, I try to spread my sparkles amongst everyone in the class so that we can all shine brighter than most." he said with a chivalrous twirl. Tsu rolled her eyes at his antics but was curious about what he said, was he really spending time with everyone equally enough to just feel like a background character; it seemed impossible given how he acts when the spotlight is on him but maybe that was only in solo conversations with him, maybe he was just group shy and mostly decided to stay out of the way of things. Before she could ponder further on the topic a sudden alarm drew the two teens' attention given that the no alarms were going off if a monster attacks this sound they were hearing was from a human problem.

As the two fledgling hero's charged towards the sound her suspicions proved to be true, they arrived on the scene just to find another man already on the floor and the storefront of what appears to be a jewelry store busted open, the man on the ground had long shoulder pads he his armor looked similar to something from her world but she couldn't quite place it, the man had short black hair and a large nose, but more importantly he had large swelling on his face from recent punches he's taken and a gash on one of his shoulder plates, well at least those things were just for looks Asui thought .

"The slash…and dashers… they ran around into that …alley." the man with shoulder pad struggled to get out before he fell unconscious, the two teen looked at each other and after a brief discussion decided to leave the man their and followed his direction to the closest ally to the area quickly turning into the closed space and coming up behind the gang members, each of which still running away down the alleyway, thinking quickly aoyama shot his naval laser at the fleeing suspects, there was a total of 5 of them and he nailed each one before they could exit the long alley, the hits shocked them enough to trip them up, he hit the one holding what he assumed was the bag of stolen good especially hard making him fall completely on his face, knocking him unconscious, the others turned towards where the lasers came from only seeing aoyama running towards them he quickly stopped as three of the groups members turned towards the teen and drew small pistols on him but before they could properly fire on the teen their aim was diverted just in time by a tongue wrapping around each of their wrist, as the bullets that left their weapons fired harmlessly into the air.

They turned to see where the tongue had come from just to see a figure seemingly materialize out of thin air, spooking all three of the gun men before they were each hoisted into the air and dropped down hard to the ground knocking them unconscious as well, the fourth user was reaching into his pocket for a weapon but his panicked state made his hand uneven and to twitchy to get a proper hold of the pistol before aoyama naval laser came screeching down the alleyway directly hitting the man in the chest knocking him out completely. Tsu made a mental note of the suspects before making sure they all weren't moving and disarmed before taking a glance back towards aoyama, she found it weird that most of these criminals held firearms and were named the slash and dashers on top of none of their weapons being able to cause the damage seen on that other hero with the shoulder pads and she soon found out why as another person was coming down from directly above aoyama an ax in his hands, she did her best to worn him yelling.

"Aoyama above!" she expected him to dodge out of the way or use his navel laser as a thrusting tool to move backwards like he does but he instead surprised her instead, he spinning around the downwards chop that the villain attempted, spinning on the heels of his feet before delivering a spin hook kick straight to the villain's face causing him to go sideways and smack into the wall of the alley before crumpling to the ground. After a moment everything seemed to have died down, and after finding some tools to tie them up and return the stolen jewelry.

"Thanks for warning me back there by the way." aoyama mentioned

"No problem, but you really surprised me with that move you pulled." asui replied

"Yeah , the sweet mask may have also taught me a thing or two about hand to hand combat."

"It's working wonders, I'll say. Wish my pro was like that." tsu murmured

"Does watchdog man not want to train you?"

"It's not that he's just not normal like that. I don't think he even understands what the word training is. He kinda just follows dog commands." aoyama chuckled lightly

"That sounds utterly ridiculous." Aoyama said, still chuckling.

"It's true! once we get back I'll show you just watch."

They began to discuss some more about random topics before Dahlia from the committee came to pick up the gang, she complimented them on their capture as the group was a B-class bounty as they went back towards sweet masks fan meet up they were suddenly passed by a large gust of wind and back again.

"What was that?" aoyama nearly panicked

"That was watchdog man." asui merely stated continuing to carry on like nothing happened .

"Really? "

"Yup, must have been a monster nearby, it kinda surprises me that even with monsters around constantly causing havoc that people still find it in themselves to hurt others." asui grumbled angry at the thought.

"Some people may just have been forced into the lifestyle." aoyama murmured, tsu heard what he said but decided to ignore it as something was clearly bothering him.

"We should hang out more often aoyama." asui said, offering the boy a sincere smile. Who turned to her, he wanted to offer the same type of smile and he did the best to emulate it.

"I would like that," he replied honestly.

Deliberations: Class 1A(mostly)

Everyone was meeting in the common area again, discussing and talking about various topics that happened throughout their day.

"Gosh uraraka you don't look so good." Jiro mentioned as she looked at the slumped girl in worry. She peeked up at the sound of her name, her body seemingly jolting awake, she looked towards Jiro and gave an ensuing smile.

"I'm ok, it's just that tatsumaki was extra hard on me today during training. At least today I didn't have to fight monsters by myself." she offered a half chuckle, her eyes suggesting that she was extremely tired.

"What did she have you even do anyways?" mina asked

"Well today I can only guess she was working on my reflexes, she put me under 5x gravity and had me go through some sort of exercise requiring me to move around under the strain, before giving me a break and going through our previous training routine under that same strain." uraraka clarified.

"Woah, that does sound intense." Mina said idly.

"I hope she's not working you too hard." momo suggested worryingly

"Its fine, she knows when to stop, most of the time."' Uraraka replied, murmuring the last part. But she was surprised when Kirishima and Sato suddenly popped up beside her.

"Did you say that tatsumaki can control gravity!?" kirishima said excitedly

"And that she put you under 5x?" Sato also questioned.

Recovering from the shock of the speed the two managed to appear she nodded at their questions.

"Yeah, she's seemingly able to do everything; levitate things, manipulate them , increase their gravity, create barriers, and probably many other things as well. And yeah she told me it was 5 times the gravity and she has no reason to lie to me."

'Woah, that's so cool! There is a gravity machine down in the gym me and sato work out at and we tried it today, we could only go up to 4 times the gravity." Kirishima exclaimed excitedly.

"Yeah, How did you cope with all the effects it had on your body and stuff?" Sato questioned, he couldn't believe that uraraka could handle the strain not calling her weak but compared to him and kirishima in a contest of strength it would go in their favor.

"It wasn't much, it just took five times the effort to do everything." Uraraka shrugged, earning a gasp from the two boy's.

'Wait did you not feel anything eternally? Like increased heart rate, harder to breathe, blood rushing down from your brain?" Sato began to question.

"Um, no nothing like that. Mostly just increased weight." Uraraka said.

"Interesting." sato mentioned rubbing his chin

"What? Did you have something in mind?" Shoji questioned.

"Yeah if she didn't experience any of those symptoms then maybe tatsumaki and her powers are more precise than the machine the association uses so she just increases the weight of a person." Sato figured.

'I don't know, I could ask her the next time I'm with her to make sure." uraraka murmured her exhaustion starting to consume her. Before being brought back to attention along with everyone else in the room by kaminari.

"Who wants to see Yaoyorozu get her but whooped?" Kaminari yelled to the class waving his phone in his hands. Gathering a bunch of murmurs and curious onlookers who began to crowd over while momo flushed with embarrassment.

"I knew he would do this." she silently cursed.

"I can always pluck him a couple times for you?" Jiro suggested next to her. Her ear jack gearing up and ready to go.

" no, it's fine. It's harmless." Momo said after letting out a sigh.

"What happened anyways?" Jiro said wanting to stay by her friend but the curiosity of what was on the video was testing her.

"Nothing, just some sparring with my instructor." Momo clarified before walking over towards the group of students, so her friend could see the video as well. Her willingness to stay with her was noble but she could tell that she was curious about the events that transpired.

On the phone's screen it showed both her and stinger going over a set pattern of attacks, a forward strike , followed by a horizontal strike, next an upwards block, into another strike, and so on and so forth. The first part of the video was mostly dedicated to these repetitions going through the patterns faster and faster before she couldn't keep pace anymore and she was hit, knocking her down. The next training exercise was more about athleticism, getting her entire body moving and keeping her from being planted on the ground as stinger says, he demonstrated numerous acrobatic attacks and spins, one of his move even allowed him to fly for breathe moment spinning his spear so rapidly above him that it acted like a helicopter propeller lifting him off the ground earning some gasp from the audience.

Momo tried to mirror some of the more basic movements but mostly they came out rather flat and slow or she failed completely and fell on the ground. Earning some chuckles from the audience and the person behind the camera, which jiro maneuvered her ear jacks and flicked kaminari in the back of the head for. The last exercise was free form sparring anything went, and as expected momo was mostly played with by her instructor throwing her to the ground occasionally and constantly taunting her, but one thing did stick out however.

"Why does he call you princess?" jiro remarked, earning the attention of most of the group as the video came to a close

"He says that wanting to capture monsters and save them is nothing but a fairy tale fantasy. And the more I try to deny how the world works and try to live in this fantasy the worse It'll be, like a princess stuck in her own world" Momo remarked, eliciting mixed emotions among the crowd but to elevate the mood, Mina decided to work her magic.

"In any case, todoroki better not hear him say that, wouldn't want him to get jealous." Mina chided with a grin and got the reaction she hoped for, which was a big blush on Momo's face followed by a few light hearted chuckles from her classmates.

"I don't see any reason why Todoroki would have to be jealous of anything but speaking of which where is he? Did he turn in early?" momo stated

"Yeah, I haven't seen bakugo either?" Kirishima continued.

"Oh todoroki messaged me saying that he, bakugo, and mineta went out to dinner with their teachers." midoriya mentioned .

"Oh, that reminds me. Toru messaged me and said that she will be having to stay late with her teacher, so that's why she and probably tokoyami isn't here. So you can stop worrying ojiro~" she said the last part in a whimsical way, surprising the boy slightly.

'And don't try to say that you weren't worried, I noticed how you kept shooting glances at the door as we stayed around." she continued, earning a similar response that she had from momo just a few seconds ago.

"Well I'll wait for them to get here, you all can head to sleep." midoriya stated.

"I'll stay with you, it is my duty as class president to ensure everyone is safe." Momo clarified as she could feel the stare Mina gave her. With that done everyone began to walk out of the common room and into their beds all besides one individual.

"Are you staying to ojiro?" momo asked.

"Yeah, I helped, toru choose her decision on the instructor so I want to make sure she's ok on her first day." he said hesitantly.

"Well I find that very noble of you." momo said.

"As expected for someone like you, I ran into her on my tour around z-city. She wanted to decline bang in person.`` Midoriya said.

The three then sat around waiting for their friends to arrive, busy themselves with idle conversation, TV, or board games.

---

The group of six finally made their way over to the restaurant that king volunteered to take them to. It was a high classy place, king was even confident enough to let them enter without his disguise on. As they entered the place they were greeted by the store owner himself, personally wanting to thank king for coming. After much of the congratulatory and fanfare was over with and the group was finally seated bakugo was the first one to speak.

"For someone touted as the strongest man you sure don't seem like much of anything." bakugo scoffed.

"Come on dude he's buying us dinner, just chill out." Saitama said.

"I never remembered asking to buy me dinner." bakugo stated.

"Then why are you still here?" saitama stated with a deadpan face. Bakugo held up a finger to argue but nothing came out of his mouth so he just decided to look away and remain quiet.

"That's what I thought." Saitama remarked as he looked at the menu, damn these prices were pretty high, thank god he wasn't the one paying for it, Saitama thought. Everyone began to take their orders, even genos, which surprised both todoroki and bakugo.

"You are able to eat to?" todoroki asked

"Yes, the genius doctor genus granted me the ability to eat, any food I digest gets turned into biomass fuel. ``Genos said with pride about the doctor.

"What a nice guy." Saitama remarked.

"He must be a really accomplished scientist to create you." Mineta said.

"He saved my life by giving me a second chance." genos clarified. Earning the attention of everyone at the table.

"My village was attacked by a mad cyborg when I was younger, found me and granted me this body so that I could find it and eliminate it once and for all." genos said his hand clenching into a fist.

"How old exactly are you?" bakugo queried.

"I'm 19." genos said quickly. Earning a few raised eyebrows from the three teens, but he only returned the looks with a shrug.

"I've made peace with what happened to me in the past." genos said. The table grew into a small silence, each member of the teens remembering something that happened to their past, the silence was interrupted by the arrival of their food and the group ate rather peacefully, occasionally speaking about various topics, such as monsters, video games, and anything else that suited their fancy at the moment king was happy that none of the topics came back to him or his title of strongest neither why he left genos their to fight that giant robot last week, maybe saitama told him about him already so he didn't think it was worth bringing up.

Before they left to go however mineta made a detour to the bathroom, but before he could make his way out of the building with everyone else he accidentally crashed into someone looking up he was instantly rewarded with the site of a woman's panties, he sometime feel insecure about his height but situations like this would make all that go away. He her the girl cough and he stuttered backwards shooting his head up to the girls face, she had purple hair, eyebrows and even lip gloss, she had a band wrapped around her forehead but what really shocked him were the massive breast she had, he was almost hypnotized to the point where he didn't quite catch the look of revulsion on the women's face which quickly turned into a smug smile as she leaned down to face the teen.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. Oh my god. You came in with mr. king didn't you? Please don't mention it. I'll give you a kiss if you don't~" she teased him, almost shocking the boy from obviously looking down her open top.

"Sure, Sure. I won't say a word I promise!" mineta said so fast.

"Oh, thank you, thank you." she said while kissing the boy on the cheek. Making the boy blush mad as she walked past him out of the restaurant.

"Good luck." was the last thing she said to him as she made her way out, which he would have found weird to say to someone but he was still gushing over the kiss he had just received. He still had that dopey look on his face as he walked outside to meet his party, even bakugo's agitated threat didn't ruin his mood. As he said goodbye to king, saitama, and genos and left towards the association.

The three students just got back and were surprised to see tokoyami and toru just get back as well after a brief conversation between them before heading inside towards their rooms, the group noticed the lights were still on in the common area so they stopped by and saw that midoriya, momo, and ojiro was their.

"You guys are back." Midoriya said, welcoming them.

"You waited for us." tokoyami questioned.

"Yeah we wanted to make sure you guys were ok before we head to bed" momo replied.

"And who said I needed to be looked out for? I can take care of myself." bakugo stated heading off to his room.

"Well at least we know he's ok." Midoriya jested everyone nodding along as they watched the teen go.

"Toru are you alright?" ojiro asked as he noticed the girl was being propped up by dark shadow, who gently left her in his hands.

"I…I'm just incredibly sore and tired. I had to stay late for extra lessons because I did the worst in the class" she mumbled.

"Oh, charanko told me something like that happened with bangs too, the worst always had to clean up when the class was done." ojiro replied.

"I wish cleaning was all I had to do." toru pouted, before finally being able to stand on her own.

"I'm gonna go and take a shower and head to bed as well. Have the same thing to do tomorrow, thanks for waiting for me." she said, offering the boy a smile before walking off, slightly limping. Ojiro followed her along just in case.

"Well I'm going to bed as well. The day started off bad but ended on a high note ``Mineta said leaving with a pep in his step. Getting weird looks which turned to todoroki when he was gone.

"Supposedly a woman that he considers "smokin hot" kissed him on our way out of the restaurant." todoroki stated getting some chuckles from momo and midoriya at todoroki saying the phrase, it sounded so unnatural for him. Midoriya let out a yawn.

"Well everyone here and accounted for so I'm headed off to bed." Midoriya began to walk away followed by tokoyami who nodded his farewell.

"Momo, I wanted to talk to you about something that happened today." Todoroki said.

"Sure todoroki , would do you need it?" she replied

"I was in a costume contest and one of the judges gave me this?" He handed her the card that he was given, on it was a typical business card for ointment products of some kind.

"Given that you have experience in this field, I thought it would be best to ask you." this revelation made blush fiercely, her face nearly turning red as her heart began to quicken. Surely he couldn't be referring to what she thought she was.

"You saw me in ryuko's advertisements?" Momo said with her face shielded by her hands.

"Yes, it was a popular ad, it was..very..you were very stunning." Todoroki managed to say he didn't understand why it was hard to say that but he tossed it to the side for now, as Momo started to visibly shiver when he said that, frightening him.

"Did I say something wrong? I'm sorry I didn't mean to insu- "

``No, no, no you did nothing of the sort, thank you for the compliment, that ad was just kind of embarrassing for me." Momo clarified.

"As for this, I assume it's a similar thing that I did, they want to use you to market their products." Momo said her heart was trying to calm itself down with quick shallow breaths, but her mood changed when Todoroki's expression saddened his hand slightly gracing his scar.

"Why would someone want me for something like that?' Todoroki murmured.

"Don't say that, you are very handsome even with your scar." Momo tried to cheer him up. The boy looked at her in shock at her statement and after a moment she began to blush and quickly retreated back to her room.

"A…anyway, it's up to you to accept this judge's deal or not, you don't have to if you don't want to, I'll.. go head to bed as well. Bye." Momo quickly said, handing him back the card before speeding off to her room. Todoroki shrugged his shoulders and headed off to his room as well . Everyone went to bed soundlessly besides one of their classmates who tossed and turned in his bed as his body seemingly exploded in a mix of feelings and emotions.
