Morning fun: Class 1A

Midoriya and uraraka were in a predicament, he was usually among the earlier risers but being with uraraka had made him sleep in a little later than he would normally which left him and her in a nerve racking situation, the walls the association provided them were essentially sound proof he couldn't hear anything that was happening outside which meant that he couldn't tell who was in the hallway. Uraraka had profusely apologized for causing them to be in the mess that they were in but midoriya assured the girl that it was fine but he did need to leave quickly if he fell out of routine it could lead Iida to suspect something was wrong and to check up on him in his room and if he found that he wasn't there then he would no doubt come here as his next choice and proceed to lecture the two of them which would only draw more attention to what they did. After uraraka finally got ready she opened the door and peered out into the hallway and gestured for midoriya to come through, the two shared one more embrace before midoriya left back to his room to get ready for the day. Meanwhile uraraka would go downstairs to check on the commotion that was happening.

Uraraka walked down the steps to a strange sight, momo was blushing heavily as she was finishing wrapping up what appeared to be a air mattress she couldn't quite hear what the two were discussing but she heard the undoubtedly excited murmurs from toru and mina which she could probably guess what had happened from that. she was briefly surprise by the door being wide open and what looked like a burning man outside their doorway but upon realizing it was todoroki and what midoriya told her about what had happened yesterday with their friend she could see the reason why he was ….I guess she would call that flame bathing? She said with a chortle to herself as she continued towards tsu.

"So what did I miss to get the gossip girls going?" uraraka asked

"Momo and Todoroki were cuddling together down here through the night." tsu said simply pointing at the red faced girl, which made uraraka's face heat up as she thought about how she had no right to talk about that given what she did.

"I…simply accepted his request, Todoroki was vulnerable even with all the precautions I gave him…so …I simply did what needed to be done so that he could be comfortable." Momo defended.

"No ones arguing about your reason here, well maybe those two but… it is just a fact that you two were cuddling." Tsu remarked with her putting both her hands up in mock defense. Just making momo let out an exasperated sigh.

"So what is he doing now?" Uraraka questioned, shooting a thumb towards the doorway and the heatwave coming in from Todoroki's flame shower.

"Yes well while his condition has improved from the other day, the monsters affects still has an hold on him, in fact he was colder than the night prior, he reasons that he was still in his state of phosphorus red which tempered the effects and when he fell asleep he returned to his normal state and the effects of the monster combined with his naturally cold side had debilitating effects forcing him awake." Momo said simply as she looked at the door and spotted the person in question coming back inside just as midoriya came downstairs.

"Todoroki? Are you ok." midoiya asked

"Yes…I..I am feeling much better than previously. Although I won't be able to use my cold side for a while longer it seems.`` Todoroki remarked , as he looked at his hands they were still cold and still shaky but he at least could feel things again as he balled them into fist, before looking at momo.

"Thank you again for everything you did for me, sorry for all the needless drama however." Todoroki said, nodding to the rest of their classmates.

"It's fine, it was my pleasure to be of assistance." Momo said with a slight stutter and flushed cheeks.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay in for the day in that case?" midoriya questioned, Todoroki shook his head.

" No, even with this deficit I need to continue moving forwards, it actually helps me improve my ability." Todoroki said simply, midoriya was going to say something but taking a glance over at Uraraka he thought better of it and simply nodded his head.

"Just don't overwork yourself." Midoriya asked him, receiving a nod in return.

The class all ate and discussed some more about how things were going before everyone began to take their leave. After Mina had finally gotten done with teasing Momo, she turned her attention to the quiet boy. She told the boy that he and Aki should come and visit Torax. Something huge had happened the other day, although she wouldn't tell the boy or cub and after a few conversations with metal bat and his own coach on the phone he was allowed to go with the two girls to see what was going on, aki as well wanted to see torax again as the class began to disperse out heading their own separate ways.

Numbers: Fubuki group, Saitama, Genos group, Bang group, King group, Child emperor group

"Tank top master leads the tank toppers. Atomic samurai has his three disciples. There is the C-class hero alliance. Amai mask enjoy's an cost ties with his fans along with and a executive position within the hero association. And metal knights possess an arsenal of robotic drones and weapons. Along with the arrivals of the new non-killing army and if reports are to be believed darkshine's shining prodigies, these constitute the structure of the factions in the hero association." eyelashes said as he pointed to a white board with all of the names written in black marker.

" However, we in the blizzard bunch possess the greatest numbers. Under Miss blizzard we surround and defeat monsters and proceed to divide the credit to preserve our members' ranking. No other group displays our level of organization and efficiency." eyelashes concluded

"Are you still going on about that? Don't you ever get tired?" Saitama remarked as he looked up from his console before looking back down.

"You're lucky to have even received this invitation! Were you even listening?!" eyelash said through gritted teeth.

"He's playing a video game under the desk." a blond man with large brass knuckles

"Yeah, yeah factions this group that. I don't really care about and didn't I save you guys from a giant fan some time ago? I think I remember the suits and if you guys are talking about efficacy and that's the best you got your lacking those teens are probably better than you." Saitama remarked not even bothering to look up at the group as he continued to play his game, as they exclaimed their surprise and immediate dismissal of his claim.

"Miss blizzard, why do you want to recruit him?" lily remarked, whispering into fubuki's ear.

"We could gang up on him and-" a dark skinned man with cornrows began to say

"No. he's too strong, he could even make B-class rank 1. So letting him join can only help our cause." fubuki interrupted before gaining the hero's attention.

"Saitama, I assume you have proof of the non-killing army's capabilities given your relative closeness to two of their members what makes you think they are better than us." fubuki asked

"Well I haven't ever heard of your group until a couple days ago so Idk really, but from what I've been told they managed to capture two threat level demons at the same time have you guys ever did something like that?" Saitama questioned, earning shocking gasps from everyone in the room.

"Wh-...while it is true that we haven't…they are still mere fledglings joining the game, just because they have a few powerful members doesn't make them more efficient. We are seeking to correct our power problem by recruiting yo-"

"I already told you that I'm not interested." Saitama said, cutting the women off and gaining the ire of everyone in the room including Fubuki herself who rapidly stood up slamming her hands on the table in front of her.

"Saitama! If you refuse to listen, how about a fight? Fair and square!' fubuki said in a raised voice

"Fight?" Saitama said mildly more interested in what the girl was talking about.

"Your group against mine, return to this location in five hours and I will explain the rules." Fubuki remarked as she went to take her leave followed closely by the rest of her pack.

" wait but I don't have a group?" saitama remarked

"Oh? So come alone. I guess you aren't very popular!" Fubuki said as she and the rest of her group laughed on their way out.

"So much for "fair and square" "saitama stated as he began to think about what he should do, he could show up alone if it was a fight none of them could beat him but that annoying quipped at the end about him not being popular really ticked him off, he knew people got dammit, actually he knew the perfect couple of guys he could call.

Bang's dojo

Currently Ojiro, midoriya, charanko, and bang were continuing to practice in his dojo. Two of the weaker disciples were currently undergoing their strength training bang would give each student a large stone that he would tie to their backs and then proceed to run up and down the steps of his dojo being careful not to fall and keep their balance to add on an extra challenge towards the two disciples and foster an even greater comradery between the two he stated that the two would need to proceed within lockstep of one another to succeed which meant that he tied one of their legs together to force them into cooperation and assure that one student wouldn't leave the other.

Midoriya on the other hand had different plans he was still trying to properly monitor his strength while using 100% of his power, he was slightly surprised at how light the strain was when he was in the form, and by light he meant that he couldn't feel anything at all like it was completely natural to him which midoriya found interesting, was bang's teachings just that good or was something else at work here? Midoirya never minded the reason as he just took the opportunity to learn even more although practicing in a constant state of 100% always tended to leave him over doing a lot of basic normal gestures, even simply grabbing hold of objects like small rocks would cause him to crush it into dust and fragments.

And that's what the duo worked on, while ojiro and charanko practiced getting stronger midoriya was doing the opposite but that wasn't all they were doing midoriya would also do the duel training of practicing his other abilities such as smoke screen and applying some of the similar skills he learned from black whip to it as well. Trying to focus on not just releasing it out all over his body but certain body parts specifically such as his hands or his mouth if the situation called for it. Fa jin didn't really need much in the way of training given its simplicity but he did test around with it, with the help of bang he found that it offered him around a three times increase in power and speed which he thought was small but he would take what he could get. The two also focused on his training with danger sense, midoriya spoke to the fourth about how all might have changed his power more and was surprised that his pointed hair would act as a warning system when combined with his enhanced hearing he could correctly identify where a crime or commotion was taking place.

Taking that advice midoriya tried to do something similar attempting to focus his danger sense through his ears and using the enhanced hearing gained to predict where the his opponents will be, it didn't work but it showed promised he thought as he could very briefly here both the heavy panting of ojiro and charanko heading up the mountain for there final lap but not the silent master that was right behind him. He at first assumed the two were just that loud but after being interrupted he stopped being able to hear them which led to him thinking it worked out, at least slightly, all might was able to hear things from kilometers away and needed to replicate that…no he needed to do better than that if he were going to fight all for one in his prime.

The two students collapsed as they finally got up the mountainside and just before their body hit the floor bangs ensured that both of them would be ok as he shattered the large boulder they carried on their back before it could crush them under the weight. After letting the two catch their breath, before he continued with their training with the next exercises was one that didn't involve much movement at all to the benefit of both ojiro and charanko. bang took them through a meditations of sorts where he wanted the group to undergo zero thought mediation, midoriya consider the reason he decided to do this now was that the other two were already physically drained of energy to think of anything else and he was mentally drained from trying to use his danger sense allowing for the perfect opportunity. The four of them sat and meditated for 30 minutes allowing ojiro and charanko to get their second wind as they finished up. After that was over the crew continued to spar for some time before bang got another call stopping everyone in their tracks as they waited to see what was about to transpire, bang had arrived back and told the group of a favor that saitama wanted and he agreed so their class would be finished in about another three hours.

They continued to do some light sparring for a moment before bang surprised the group and said that they should go out on patrol, having said that the place Saitama wanted them to meet up at was in Y-city which was quite a travel from where they were in Z-city. Despite himself midoriya was excited to get back out there and save people his danger sense had flared a few times while up on the mountain but he fought himself to remain calm and stay put trusting in the other heroes to be able to handle the situation.

it dealt as another form of training dealing with and potentially ignoring danger sense and if he could figure it out enough maybe be able to selectively utilize it, all mights words in the hospital ringing in his head again about take breaks and learning how to trust in others, although that thought waver tremendously when he thought about todoroki and what bakugo told him but seeing that it didn't discourage him he wasn't going to be discouraged either.

Ojiro was excited to get out and fight because he wanted to increase his hero rank, he also wanted to save people to of course but if he were to be honest he was being completely honest bakugo's challenge got to him and it was always tethering on the edge of his mind and it did sort of bug him that they didn't go on patrols that often, he understood why midoriya wanted to stop going, to give him more time with bang so that he could get stronger but staying up in a dojo all day wouldn't mean much to the association, which got him thinking of toru and how she had it even worse than him maybe he should maybe try to talk something out with bang and bomb so that the two of them could go out patrolling maybe a day or three out of the week.

He thought as the group began to head out into the city, charanko not wanting to seem like a coward followed suit helping the heroes fight monsters. The four of them split up with their usual partners as ojiro noted that being around S-class heroes hurts the grind and given that charanko wasn't a hero, him helping out wouldn't be an issue at all. So the pair split off around the city to fight monsters for about 2 hours before meeting up at the emergency shelter on the edge of Z-city where charanko said goodbye as the three of them took off to Y-city.

M-City

Mineta was antsy getting back to king for the day he didn't know what the large man would have in mind for his training but he had hopped his gift he gave him the other day would at least make whatever training he had form him not to impossible he didn't need to get as strong as king was and he didn't know how long king actually took to get to where he was but trying to condense whatever the man did into just two months was highly unrealistic he knew and even if it was possible would be such a huge time investment that he would have no time for himself.

So Mineta was surprised when the list of things King wanted him to do seemed rather simplistic? The list king gave him before sending him on his way was fairly short. He was to do a 20km run , followed immediately by 200 push ups, sit -ups , and squats. Mineta was at first unimpressed by the list of fairly tame objectives until he got to the stipulations portion of the notes. It instructed him similar to the previous day that he had to defeat at least three monsters per day either alone or in a group. It did not say which he assumed meant that he could do either or which made him sigh in relief for a moment but that meant nothing stressed oozed right back into him as he kept reading down.

It read that if an monster alarm were to happen while he was training before he beat his three monster for that day he was to immediately stopped and head over to the scene to help out in defeating the creature and that in this case he would have to restart his entire training regime all over again from day one and he had to do this everyday with no exceptions even if they don't have to meet each other for that day. Well there always was a catch to everything he thought now what should he do first though? Should he knock out the 20km run which specified not using his powers, he started to look up if this world had any fitness trackers but given that they were still on flip phone technology he wasn't so sure but he was in luck going over his apps actually showed what he already had one pre-installed he almost completely forgot about it as he never used the device and began tinkering with it for a moment before finally finding the way to set a distance setting the distance for 20 km he went to find the nearest roundabout to practice at.

He got into position to start his run and as soon as he did a monster alarm began to blare off he sighed to himself just imagining being nearly done with his regime and having to start all over again because of it but he did want to see how long it would take to finish 20 km, the monster alert said that the creature was only a threat level wolf so people didn't take it that seriously so he didn't either. He clicked the app on his phone and then proceeded to run for however long it needed until it would tell him that he completed his assignment; he surprised himself when his phone went off 2 mins later and he wasn't even that tired from the excursion but having to fight multiple monster in between could make this more difficult which is probably what king was really aiming for with this light exercise.

Mineta wanted to continue on with his regime next doing 200 push up which was definitely more strenuous then he had imagined UA had physical test such as these but they usually only went to around 50 but he managed to get through it relatively ok but that was when the first monster siren went off this one a tiger which people worried for, mineta immediately set off to apprehend the creature hopping by the time he got there other heroes would also be on the scene and could help him capture the creature.

As he arrived he was in luck that several heroes were there as well one of them called studless, saturn man which his shirt ironically held a picture of jupiter instead and the highest ranked among them was pineapple, the monster was a creature that seemed to be a mix between a monkey and racoon bear dog thing. It was a tough fight saturn man surprised him, the rings around him acted as large circular blades that he used to cut the monster all over its body. pineapple would blind the monster using his Concentrated Pine's Strong Acid Juice attack to blind the monster which caused it to thrash around even more sporadically but allowed saturn man to cut the monster even more, mineta was in charge of slowing the bear down using his pop off orbs, studless wasn't much help in the fighting however he did make sure to secure the area and rescue any civilians that were still in the area or trying to record the conflict, although he would sometime fake and attempt to fight the bear getting a jab in here and there. The battle came to a head when Mineta finally managed to trap one of the large creatures pauses.

it attempted to struggle with it's limb constantly pulling and pulling but finding it's extremity stuck it accepted it's position and growled at the heroes saturn kept slicing at the bear creature swiping left and right with it's good arm to defend itself but it proved useless, pineapple did his signature attack Pineapple Cannon the blast of juice exited from his belly button the shot hit the bear in the face like a large industrial hose making the bear screech in pain and anger as the acidic juice made its way inside the opened wounds causing it even more pain, mineta was about to defend it but the bear made an even more unorthodox move pulling so hard on his pop off orbs that it ripped it's own arms off causing it to bleed even more profusely, it hobbled four times towards them before dropping dead on the street.

The other heroes celebrated their victory while mineta himself was slightly mortified by it. He had seen heroes kill monsters before but that was always them landing the killing blow …this time however he had partly something to do with it and he didn't know how to feel about that. He gave them his hero name as they called in the monster's defeat and they all left their separate ways. Mineta left back to the park and did his 20 km run again followed closely by his other exercises but he just made it to the 30 push up mark before the monster alarm came online again, this time the monster was a wolf and mineta sped his way towards the area as quickly as possible seeing that the creature was just some slightly larger cat that had pincer like intrusion growing out of it.

mineta quickly defeated the creatures using his popoff orbs to completely encircle the feline before suing them to launch off of and attack with a drop kick to the head, the creature was completely knocked unconscious as it's head slammed into a road sign. Mineta called the association and this time decided to wait around to get to his third monster after an hour of waiting he decided to screw it and headed back to the park to do his run again but just as he finished the run the monster alarm rang out this time it was a demon which meant that he could just ignore it but he wanted to see what was going on.

but the creature was already taken care of by the time he arrived. Although he questioned if the monster actually was a demon as it seemed to just be a large gelatine figure that was completely obliterated by a man holding a large machine gun and to confirm his thoughts the alarm reclassified the monster as only a threat level tiger taken down by death gatling. Which meant mineta had to start over again on his training which he did after waiting some more for the third monster which was a wolf, which with the help from another hero Ecolo G, they subdued fairly easily. Leaving with nothing but his training, he quickly decided to get out of the way, before dragging his way back to king's apartment as he got there, however king was already on his way out, telling him that his friend from before had requested him so off they went to Y-city.

Saitama gorge

Bakugo sat and watched the battle between the demon cyborg and half and half. Since half and half was supposedly weakened from the monster effects he had to stay in that fire form of his phosphorus whatever as he called it. But to say he was supposedly "weakened" from those monsters and then to observe his match with the cyborg any sane person would say that the guy was tripping on acid for saying that, even though he himself was benefiting at the results that this "weakened" state had given him. Currently he and the triborg was duking it out flames against flames, normally this type of overextended battle with fire would overheat the teen but he was looking right as rain hell he would argue that he's doing even better as the two clashed against each other as both combatants flew through the air. A hint of jealousy hung over his head as the blast genos were larger than the ones with him confirming yesterday all the more. Making him grimace.

Todoroki and Genos were battling in the air. Todoroki was amazed at how much high temperature he could handle at this moment. Despite using his own flames combined with the heat from genos flames he would have been sure that he would have been suffering from overheating but if anything he was doing just fine actually he was doing better than normally actually the heat felt relaxing to him. Todoroki wouldn't let this moment slip either as he sparred with genos he wanted to truly refine this new form of his, he tried to memorize his father's movements which thanks to the cyborgs intrusions he would often offer advice in that regard, regularly pointing out things his father did in the simulations that he could do better currently and todoroki took it to heart.

The first thing that he needed to learn to master was flying from his feet just like his father, once he got that down he had to learn the movement unlike his more traditional way of travel by gliding on his ice and using his flames as propellant to move him faster, with this new mode of transportation it felt like he was just on like a hoverboard even more slippery than his ice as his foot lacked foundation but he soon got the hang of it learning to glide around at first then full on fly just like how his father did although it felt weird to try and use his feet for propulsion but he got used to it after all his father ensured that todoroki was properly fine enough to float and glide around in the air using only just his one leg at first although it became apparent from the jump that just with one leg that type of training wouldn't work out.

Genos continued with their combat exercise launching a large incineration blast directly at him todoroki responded in kind swiping his arm upwards in the form of a great wall of fire that completely negated the cyborgs attacks but in a stunning move the robot charged through the collection of flames directly at him, todoroki was so surprised by the display that he could only guard against the attack which was a kick directed at his head, even with him blocking the force of the blow sent him flying towards towards the ground. he recovered and shot his hands downwards and expended a large amount of flames in the opposite direction which slowed his dissent to a stop. He looked up just in time to thrust his arms to the side moving him out of range of another incineration blast, todoroki returned the favor condensing the flames on the edge of his finger tips before shooting it outwards his hell spider attack due to his unbalance the attack mostly missed its mark, but some of them were on target forcing the cyborg to move out of the way, avoiding the strike before swinging back around with his jet boosters for another kick .

Todoroki seeing the attack coming shot upwards attempting to avoid the kick but as he flew upwards, he was surprised when he felt something wrap around his ankle and suddenly drag him down, genos lambasted him for taking his eye off his opponent before slamming him into a rock column. Todoroki quickly grabbed the appendage that was attached to him and began to heat it up trying to melt the thing but whatever the cyborg melting point was it was to high for it to work, instead he used his hell spider to cut the wire instead, which worked as he attempted to dodge the incoming dive kick from the demon cyborg which he successfully did rising above as the cyborg struck the structure causing a miniature avalanche of rock and debris todoroki knowing the cyborg was't done shot forth a flash fire fist which he assumed connected but he didn't know the effects as the dust billowed into the air, he was suddenly yanked downwards again as the hand that was still attached to him rocketed downwards forcing him down, he countered the motion with his own flames but in doing do left himself open as genos rushed through the smoke and struck the teen in the gut before reattaching his hand and throwing him towards the ground.

This time due to the pain from his stomach that he received he couldn't quite recover in time so he could only launch a veil of flames to soften his landing. He took a moment to stand up and charged up both of his arms behind him, condensing and shaping his flames before thrusting his hands forwards in a claw motion, his attack dug into the ground before quickly rising into the air his hell claws attack which rose through the air to meet the charging cyborg forcing him to dodge out of the way of the first one but todoroki timed it for that to launch the second one which partially hit the cyborg a cut going across his shirt. The spar finally came to a head when Genos used his jet dive arrow vs Todoroki's jet kiddingling the two attacks clashed creating a large billowing flame that sparked out of the gorge and coalesced into a high tornado. The end result of this conflict ended with Todorki being bashed along the side of the gorge and Genos clothes completely burned off and there were some cracks marks and heat damage on his body even after it had cooled down from the initial conflict.

Todoroki recovered and his hand was slightly bruised from the encounter but he could manage and he didn't feel as cold as he did before but the fact that he wasn't overheating showed that the creature's effects were still upon him even after all of that. Genos gave him a moment to catch his breath before he ordered him and bakugo to spar against each other in hand to hand without the use of his quirk. Bakugo quickly slid down the hill towards the other two and made his way over. The two began to spar against each other bakugo as usual todoroki noted was not one to really pull his punch especially against an "amatuer" like him as he would love to mention to him time and time again. Although this time around he forgone hitting him in the face he began to realize which he thought was fairly nice of him, he also noted how he was somewhat slower than previously actually now that he thought about it he's been slower for a couple days now during their spars in comparison to the weeks prior.

he even was able to get a couple of blows on him which would only make the angry blonde return with a ferocious counter but it was the last counter that really surprised him, bakugo had changed his direct punch into an armlock which transitioned into a flip that ended with him on his back and bakugo's still in possession of his arm and nearly ripping the appendage from the socket but he relented letting it go and ending the spar their as his victory as usual.

"That was new." Todoroki remarked as he rolled his arm around to test if it's still good, getting a slight pain every time he moved it.

"Yeah, something I just picked up." bakugo replied simply

"Given I haven't seen the demon cyborg perform that move I assume it's from your late night training partner?" Todoroki summarized, earning Bakugo's attention.

"And who the hell said I have a training partner?" bakugo replied roughly.

"Just murmurs I've overheard from others." todoroki said with a shrug of his shoulders

"Well they're wrong, I train by myself at night." bakugo said angrily, looking away. Which was a sign that he wanted to drop the topic which he did.

"Thank you for avoiding my face, by the way." Todoroki commented not knowing what else to say to fill the silence as they waited for demon cyborg to get back from getting some spare clothes.

"I just didn't want ponytail to get all uppity at me." bakugo replied simply, making Todoroki confused.

"If you're referring to momo, then I'm not sure why she would mind….If you're referring about earlier this morning..that was nothing she did that solely to help me with my condition." Todoroki said but for some reason he felt hurt by his own remark.

"Oh brother you really slow on the uptake, between your obliviousness and her insecurity, you two aren't going to get anywhere any time fast." bakugo replied , but before he could ask what his friend meant by that genos had arrived back.

"Master has been summoned for an urgent mission we need to leave promptly towards Y-city!" genos yelled before dashing, making the two teens share a glance and rush to follow the cyborg.

Y-city Rented meeting room

"Do you really think that punks, really gonna show up?" mountain aped exclaimed in a gruff voice.

"Yes. he is a very simple minded individual." fubuki remarked and as she finished the door to the room opened.

"See here's the fool now." fubuki said as everyone turned to look at the new arrivals but her group was stunned by what they saw. A group of nine individuals began to walk into the room but what surprised the group the most was the ranks of certain individuals with them .

"L-look at his group, th-this could be bad." eyelashes mumbled out with a petrified face

"I…is that really five S-class heroes!?" lily murmured into fubuki's ear, in shock and some reservations.

"Don't worry. I expected as much. Thank you for coming, saitama." fubuki said with her usual calm demeanor.

"Yeah, hi." Saitama said simply waving his hand but before he could say more genos stepped up behind him glaring at the group shrouded with a menacing aura .

"I will not let you get away with wasting my master's precious time …..that he uses for doing nothing." genos remarked, making bakugo burst out in laughter.

"that doesn't make sense, genos" saitama remarked

"But it fits you perfectly." bakugo said with a grin, making the bald man glare at the teen, who didn't budge from the threat but did stop his chuckling. Sweat was visibly seen rolling down a number of the blizzard groups faces as they thought about if they would survive the encounter with this many S-class heroes.

"So this is your group?" fubuki asked as lily got the documents from a briefcase.

"No, not really but I bought a couple of guys, so what type of fight is this?" saitama remarked

"First things first, those of the none-killing army given your own group. I will assume that you all are not afflicted with Saitama's group and therefore you are free to opt out of this challenge. if you want." fubuki said, glancing at the teens in the room.

"Like hell I am…I ain't scare of you or any of your butlers, I'll could probably handle you all myself, just like I did tweedle dee and tweedel dumb over their.'' Bakugo remarked smugly before pointing at mountain ape and eyelash, making both men glare and grit their teeth at the teen.

"I'll join, sure these are all B-class heroes right? Gotta see who I need to catch up to." ojiro remarked.

"If kings going to participate the so will I." mineta said in confirmation

"I guess I'll join…just to ensure kacchan doesn't go overboard." midoriya said, rubbing the back of his head in worry.

"What was that nerd!" bakugo immediately yelled in challenge

"Nothing, nothing ….todoroki what about you?" midoriya questioned

"I'll have to decline, the cold is starting to get to me again and I need to let off some of my flames to heat me up soon. But I hope for you guy's victory" Todoroki said simply, before leaving back outside to flame bathe again.

"Ok with all that said and done here is the agreement of the rules read carefully so that no one can complain about injuries." fubuki said.

"Hah I think it's you all who should be worried about injuries, if those two are the best you got." bakugo remarked again, fubuki was slightly irritated by the teens' words but that quickly changed to big smile as she watched saitama quickly sign the document, no doubt not even reading it.

"The losing team must do whatever the winning team says, ha!ha! I can't believe you actually signed it." fubuki said, looking at the document even doing a twirl before getting a hold of herself and gesturing for her group to clear the chair and tables

"Did…did it say that?" saitama said with a obvious face

"Mr. Saitama, you should always read stuff like instructions and terms of service." king remarked

"Master shall I destroy them right now?" genos remarked

"No genos, allow me the first strike, once they are defeated I'll make all of them join my dojo as grunts, I'm sure that charanko would be happy to have more junior members!" bang said with an almost sadistic grin that ojiro couldn't help but chuckle at.

"Hah! Even if that idiot didn't read the terms this is still sure to be an easy win and the first thing I'm going to demand of you is to be my chair as I order your former minions around.`` Bakugo remarked, pointing a finger directly at Fubuki, whose powers momentarily flared as the green aura surrounding her for a moment before suddenly disappearing and her scowl turning into a bright smile.

"Oh! It seems that you three are mistaken, this is not a physical fight but a virtual one." fubuki remarked as she moved out of the way and behind her was small tv with a console in front of it with two controllers, all of the steam and excitement quickly left bakugo's face as his mouth was left agape from the declaration before turning into an angered scowl as he turned back to look at the bald hero who simply looked away abasement mindly while whistling.

"Don't worry, once you are officially under my thumb I'll be sure to use your talents. you would make a good attack dog." fubuki said with a smug grin making bakugo glare at the women with rage before midoriya began to pull him away, before anything could really happen between the two..

Even given the new perspective of rules all of the teens and other members of saitama stuck to the original plans of the agreement, bang was the first to go and the first to fall not even knowing the controls of the game to play and after the teens raised enough of a ruckus, fubuki agreed that all of the members of saitama's team were allowed a button check to familiarize themselves with the controls of the fighting game but even with that it did not help them much bang still lost his first match completely one sided , followed closely by genos who in his confusion broke the controller believing that he would hit harder if he mashed the buttons harder.

The next up for the teens it was ojiro who despite being a rookie put up a violent effort but completely lost, the next was midoriya who actually managed to win off a fluke of a play and the person that was using the controller hands getting tired from the continuous winning spree he was on. The victory was completely bittersweet as half their number had been beaten meanwhile they only managed to beat one of the 35 individuals that fubuki had after the next person took the guys place. Midoriya promptly lost before it was bakugo's turn who lost at an even faster pace and in his anger nearly bludgeoned the guy that mocked his defeat but bang stopped him.

The next up was mineta he was much more proficient than the rest of his classmates and he actually won three games in a row but before the fourth person could sit down fubuki had called for a break and a group huddle and from their the next person switched to another person a small person about mineta's height and in the ensuing match mineta was quickly defeated, fubuki was gloating her victory the entire time angering bakugo as well. The next up was Saitama who despite his confident demonero loss just as quickly as mineta.

"HAHAHAHAHA! That leaves only king! But you life is one of stoic battles. Can you win at video games! Once you all lose I'll make all of you join the blizzard group!" fubuki said in histactiacal laughter and glee, but it was sharply interrupted by another sharp laugh from the tiny purple teen.

"Oh you must really not know a thing….this match was concluded as soon as the competition in video games and king was involved….who do you think taught me to play so well?" mineta said with another chuckle causing a pang of doubt to enter the girls mind but she thought it surely was just bluff a pitiful attempt to get piko off his game but he was a former professional player she got for this exact moment he used to any type of stress but the sudden rmb, rmb,rmb from the king's engine did put her on edge but surely he couldn't beat 30+ people, surely…right?

Child emperor's laboratory

Koda and Aki were both interested in seeing Torax again they haven't seen the large cat ever since they had brought him down from the mountain about a week ago, and Koda was equally intrigued by what surprise Mina was so eager about. The four of them proceeded through child emperors lab and towards the back….the back where the bunnies used to live he thought as they continued, noticing the change in koda's demoner and the feeling of familiarity with the structure they were in aki began to rub against koda's leg.

"Yeah …child emperor said he didn't really know where to store him and given that the place was vacant he thought it was the best choice to appease torax.'' Jiro remarked, looking at the two and noticing the problem, Koda merely nodded his head.

"It's good that he wanted torax to be comfortable." Koda remarked simply. The group of four finally made it to the back of the large enclosure, opening the door and stepping into the grass field into the middle of the sun spot.

"You two have returned I see and from the smell you brought guests." koda heard a strange voice emanate from the place and suddenly aki took off towards it, koda was about to tell the cub to stop when torax emerged from the trees and aki had run right up to the tiger. Her head went up to his chest now instead of his legs.

"And you have grown, I see." Torax said looking down at Aki as they briefly brushed their heads together, Koda was completely shocked by the discovery of the voice coming from the tiger.

"See I told you right, he just started talking out of nowhere!" Mina expressed the two monsters made their way back over to them.

"She's large but not as large as I expected from someone that fights monsters daily?" Torax inquired, looking at Koda, who twisted his thumbs at the gaze and looked down.

"I…I.. I don't really kill monsters very much but don't worry …I…I'm working on it." koda said looking up at torax again

"Wh-what are you two talking about?" Jiro remarked, getting between the tiger and koda. In a defensive posture, the tiger simply spun around and laid down in the sun and aki soon attempted to tackle him and force the tiger to play.

"Well….you know how I said that the aki wanted to get revenge for her father on the convict?" the two girls nodded

"Well the convict is strong, S-class level actually so if we were to come against him…I don't think he would be as polite as he was when we saw him in the cabin.'' Koda remarked, making both of the girls instinctively run a hand over the back of their necks for a moment thinking back to how the convict effortlessly incompacitated them and if he really wanted to he could have killed them then and there if he so pleased.

"That's why I said that aki needs to get stronger by eating monsters." torax remarked as the other turned to see that he had pinned aki with just a single paw before the bear just gave up and finally stopped its struggling, allowing torax to take its paw off of her.

"Oh ….I see. You're just trying to look out for her." Jiro said and the tiger nodded.

"In some ways you could say I see her as my own." Torax said simply and the three teens nodded in understanding.

"Don't worry I had a change of heart recently and I'm going to work on it." Koda said with conviction.

"Make sure you do." Torax replied simply as they continued before anyone could say anything more child emperor entered into the enclosure wanting all of them to come into the main lab. The entire group made their way out into the main lab and were surprised by some of the new faces; there were three other heroes present along with sitch. Mina recognized one of the heroes and she quickly hugged child emperor before making her way over to the hero it was forte, the two greeted each other for a moment while the rest of the group came to talk to the other two heroes the first revealed himself to be the A-class hero great philosopher and the second was B-class hero darkness blade, which Jiro liked the aesthetic vibe until the hero started talking, the group mingled with each other for a moment before child emperor called all of their attention he was in a high seated chair and held something in his hands that looked like a strange mask.

"Thank you for coming, everyone. This is okame, a device I developed. It's a mask for analyzing muscle mass, neural development and weight distribution. For an overall strength score, for example I'll scan one of the C-class to get a baseline forest lord. " child emperor remarked, holding the mask up to his face and looking at koda.

"Forest lord's score is 100, now for the rest of you." child emperor remarked

Pink mist: 150

Stereo queen: 50

Darkness blade: 759

Forte: 1,000

Great philosopher: 2,442

Sitch: unmeasurable

"Unmeasurable happens when you're too weak to be a hero." child emperor said before turning his sights to the two monsters.

"With these two here I can also scan a monster as well." child emperor remarked. This earned the other heroes' surprise taking a few steps away from the creatures.

Aikaiando: 905

Torax: 8,000

Child emperor let out a gasp of surprise once he read the tigers score and made him immediately nervous as he took the mask off and began to speak.

"Ugh if I'm reading this correctly the bear is strong for its size but the tiger…is actually a demon level threat." child emperor remarked and the other heroes in the room noticeably tensed and moved even further away.

{what's wrong?} aki asked

{they're scared of me.} Torax said with a chuckle before he yawned, making a show of showing his teeth as best he could before lying down, making the heroes tense up even more.

"I'm not going to kill any of you…that is if I don't get hungry." Torax remarked, making the heroes point their weapons threateningly at the monster but he was unphased, starting to lick his paws.

"He's just joking guys, relax." Mina tried to defend the tiger even demonstrating by being able to literally sit on top of it without having it react.

"That is very fascinating, not only that but with that device we can now grade heroes and monsters with the physical score and better send the appropriate hero to deal with the threat, this will help alleviate some of the complaints we received of monsters being labeled incorrectly with our threat assessments." sitch said as he was handed the device and was shocked to scan child emperor and see that his score was that of 1,880 with just being a child but before they could discuss more about the device the monster alarm began to blare of a town nearby, so together the group headed out into the streets rushing along the way.

The teens were astonished by the speed of the heroes and all of them opted to take a ride on torax instead making himself large enough for all of them to climb aboard and they were off faster than each of them would have independently run as they caught up to heroes in no time aki was running alongside them. The ride came to a quick end as they surveyed the area in front of them. They turned a corner just to see a city block all covered in spider webs even animals like dogs , cats , and birds weren't spared.

The creature was in the center of the street a tarantula type spider but strangely the spider only had two eyes and what looked like dimples on it and even stranger the spider had half of a man extending from the top of it , like a hideous version of spiderman that was currently ripping into a soda machine. It turned to look at them before spitting the soda machine down into the wall. Child emperor scanned the monster and remarked that the creature only scored 420.

"That means it's weaker than the bear, a group of people could defeat it with the right equipment. The announcement said threat level tiger but it's more like a wolf." child emperor remarked

"Allow me , I scored 759 so I'll handle it." darkness blade remarked brandishing his sword and charging forth just to get immediately get punched in the face, snapping his sword in two and sending him flying backwards. The child emperor was shocked.

"What but his score was- wait that was only the top half the bottom half is 6,999. Which would make it a demon." child emperor remarked

"Isn't it a little too late to be saying that now!" Jiro remarked as she and the rest of the heroes began to hide behind torax who laid down in the street.

"Aren't you all going to fight it?" torax asked simply

"Did you not hear the child say that thing is mega tough, you are the only one that can beat it." mina remarked

"And If I don't feel like it? This is the first time I've been out in a week. I don't want to go back so soon." torax argued, still relaxing down.

"HAHAAHA! A spider crawled in my ear and now look what happened to me! I feel incredible! Everything looks like prey!" the spider monster said with a laugh and that was when torax finally moved standing up and marching forwards constantly getting bigger and bigger as he went.

"You want to run that by me again, arachnid?" torax said marching forwards at the now scared and staggering backwards spider monster, it tried to leap away shooting webs from behind to sling away but it was to slow in one massive gallop torax caught up to it as it swung through the air completely munching down on it's human person before slamming the rest of the spider body into the concrete and crushing the creatures head with a paw killing it instantly. The heroes and the teens were admittedly a bit scared from the sight even more so when torax ripped off two of the spider monster legs and threw it over to them while he feasted on the carcass. Aki looked to koda for a moment of acceptance before he nodded, letting the little cub happily eat the two spider legs that were thrown its way. A brief moment after torax had shrunk back to his regular size genos, saitama, king, and bang arrived on the scene along with their respective pupils and fubuki. The teens all quickly met up and spoke with one another bakugo was mad that he didn't get the chance to fight the monster while bang and king were hesitant when dealing with the two monster on the scene but that was absolved when koda was in the spotlight of a number of phone cameras and how the people were all praising him for saving the day, which the quiet boy squirmed under the attention, midoriya and jiro quickly shooed the crowd away from the quiet teen although mina let some of the girls ``accidently " slip past her to get some picture of them with torax or koda. After the crowd finally dispersed enough child emperor started to test his device on more of the heroes present.

Bang: denied

Demon cyborg: machine

Saitama: unmeasurable

King: unmeasurable

Grape-a-pult: 45

God of destruction: dynamite: 800

Silver wukong: 500, tail: 800

Green savior deku: 100

Frozen phoenix: 100

"Wait a minute, how are you guys so weak and in S-class? Do you guys use some type of technology or secret weapon or something?' the boy pondered.

" I'm not normally a physical fighter. I usually fight with my power." todoroki said simply

"My power is like an enhancement to myself so your machine probably can't read it." midoriya replied

Child emperor took that to heart, starting to see the flaws of his machine, this flaw being on full display when the only rated 19 of the top of the B-class was able to take out a number of miniature spiders that started to escape from the monster's corpse, ultimating culminating in him assuming the mask was useless especially when there appeared to be a crack in the thing from some event. After overhearing the fact that new arrivals would be headed to dinner started a cascading effect of all the teens also wanting to come along with them, leaning everyone to head off to find a place to eat, everyone except koda who had something to do and with torax with him it would allow things to go even smoother he thought as he went back to the lab to go and talk to sitch hoping he's still their.

Super suit: Watchdog man, Asui

Asui was not expecting to be whisked away as soon as the girl left the shelter into Q-city she at first thought it was the work of some monster but briefly glancing at the white fur made the girl think otherwise and when she finally came to a stop her suspensions were confirmed when watchdog man was sitting down in front of her waiting after getting here bearing and scanning her surroundings she found that she was on a beach near one of the changing rooms. She was surprised to say the least, looking down at the hero lying on the sand.

"Inside there is something to change into to help with your training." watchdog man said stoically as ever, asui was at first a bit concerned when he said change into and they were at the beach thinking that it would be something like a swimsuit or something she quickly surveyed the area for a moment before and saw that nobody was around the furthest people in the area was a good distance away in the water.

Asui nodded her head before proceeding inside the women's changing room no one was inside and she glanced around the room for a moment before looking in the dead center of the benches, she was moderately surprise when sitting on said bench was a mysterious object covered in a dark tarp but the shape was immediately recognizable to the girl that of a frog silhouette, she hesitantly approached the tarp like it was going to attack her before pulling the tarp off of the thing underneath and she was shocked at what she saw and some part of her kinda wished it was like a swimsuit or something of that nature. Underneath the tarp was a frog suit of some kind like those made for kids for halloween, it was seated in a crouched position like it was going to jump at her. She looked at the suit and circled around it to check it out in full before she ultimately decided that the suit looked completely ridiculous…..but it was made by watchdog and he said it would help her with her training so with heavy reluctance she began to take off her clothes and change into the outfit she was shocked when she attempted to move the suit that it was surprisingly heavier than the cloth would made it appear she could barely budge it but eventually got it to the ground, she had to figure out a way to unlock the suit as it was still situated in that same crouched posture but she managed to find the front zipper and proceeded to use that to zip it down and situate herself inside of it matching the suits crouched position with her legs and putting her hand inside as well.

Once she got the suit on she could feel the weight on her back and legs as she attempted to stand up fully but soon realized after struggling some what that the suit actually had a very small range of motion in fact the range of motion that was given to her was directly proportional to that of a frog, thinking back to what watchdog man said the other day about "living" like a frog she assumed that this was the point. But she couldn't go out looking like this? could she? I mean when she really thought about it , she would hopefully being leaving this place rather soon so she wouldn't have to worry about this following her home unless one of her friends caught her in this thing most of them would probably understand her predicament and be cool with just letting it go but if some of the more rousey ones caught wind of this than I'm sure they wouldn't ever let her live this down.

She took a moment to use her tongue to place her clothes inside the now not used tarp before attempting to wrap it up with her tongue but the tasked proved increasingly difficult forcing her to user her to use her hands instead she placed the bag directly in front of her and then began to move her arms to wrap it up, the weight on her arms was immense having to work hard just to finish completely. after the task was done she finally allowed them to rest as she set them down in the "natural" position again directly pointed on the floor, she wrapped her tongue around the bag before proceeding towards the door, she had to momentarily drop the bag to open the door and then hop her way in between the door before picking up her things up again, just as she turned back around she felt wind that signaled watchdog man appearance as she turned around and at first looked down at all the displaced sand, along with a couple of dug out holes along the beach ,which she assumed watchdog man did to past the time.

"Does the suit fit?" watchdog man asked

"Yes it's a tiny bit big for me but it's fine for now. How heavy is this thing?" asui asked

" 1 metric ton." watchdog man said simply like it was no big deal. Making the girl just freeze in shock.

"What?" asui could only say, it would explain why she could just barely move with the thing on, using most of her leg strength just to hop small distances.

"Yes this is how I help you, as long as you are doing hero work. You will wear that." watchdog man replied as he used his hind legs to rub behind his ear, asui was briefly surprised by his flexibility before going back to the topic of suits.

"How heavy is your suit?" she asked

"Oh this? It's around 10,000 tons or so, I kinda forgot about it really." watchdog man said casually, making Asui shake her head rapidly in surprise, she had nothing to say from that. She just accepted it and then began to think about how fast he would be without the suit on? Or more importantly how durable that podium he stood on had to be to support that type of weight or did he offset it with his own strength? But never mind that for now.

"So what am I to do now?" Asui asked, and watchdog man answered with his best attempt at a shrug.

"Just do as you normally would. I'll take your things to a secure place, just ask when you want it back." watchdog man said before dashing off forcing asui to cover her face form all of the sand and dust that the hero kicked up. Asui raised her head for a moment before just resigned herself to the situation and started to hop along and patrol the city. She did some test runs with her new suit trying to see how far she could jump well in actuality how fast she could move. She noted that her jumping distance was decreased by at least a third and that's not even getting into the stamina requirements to move that far either after 20-30 hops she would find herself out of breath but she continued to persevere her friends were working hard to better themselves even mineta so she couldn't fall behind either.

Her patrolled around the city was what she had expected a number of the people would go up to her and ask about the suit change and some pictures of were taken as she passed while embarrassed she continue to push through and do her hero work and just hope her classmates wouldn't know about any social media sights all though she had her doubts about that. As for her patrol however she decided to mostly stay clear of monster alerts not that she had much of a chance with watchdog man's speed, she mostly stuck to human criminals that watchdog man didn't tend to go for that much, she theorize if he saw the entire city as his house or more like farm and everyone within it was to be protected even if some of them were just wolf in sheep's clothing asui thought, as she came upon a ongoing robbery it was simple purse snatcher , the perp was unexpectedly fast or was she just that much slower and the perpetrator knew the city well tossing and turning down alleyways and corners that she didn't even know about despite her time in the city but eventually as always there was nowhere left to run, he quickly turned around just as asui was diving down from above drop kicking the man in the face before catching the purse with her tongue. The man quickly rose up to his feet with a bloody smile.

"You should always look before you leap froggy ." the man said with a smile before whistling. And suddenly she could hear the rustle of steps behind her, a total of three people including the "victim" was blocking her path of escape, she immediately dropped the person and tried to hop up on the wall and crawl out of the alley but a whip wrapped around her ankle and quickly dragged her back down forcing her to slam into the ground. The guy she dropped kicked immediately tried to stomp on her as she landed but asui thought quickly extending both her legs to hit the man directly in the chest sending him flying backwards into wall behind and quickly tried to right herself as she heard a scuffle of sorts happening the other way but she was surprised by the time she turned around the three people blocking her way were already on the ground writhing on the floor but what surprised her more was who was standing above them it was KG scramble…she prepared for anything as the dark skin man started towards her.

"Relax kid, I'm not going to hurt you." kg said simply but asui was unconvinced

"This wasn't your doing?" asui asked

"If it was? Why would I beat them up, come on kid, think with your brain." kg reminded her and he was right but that didn't make them friends.

"How did you escape prison?" she asked as he moved past her to retrieve the unconscious man she had kicked off her.

"I didn't "escape" anything, they just offered a better way instead of wasting away in a cell but in short I guess you can call me a hero now." the man said with a laugh, surprising the teen slightly but she was still unconvinced that was until she called dahlia to confirm what the convict had said was true.

Princess finds her savior: Flash, Iida

Flash and Iida were currently going over some forms in the association's HQ training rooms, he had Iida undergo a number of hand and arm exercises before moving on to punching again just like his time was spent with him the first month, he would often focus most of his efforts on strengthening his upper body while focusing more on teaching him how to more effectively use his lower half. The two continued to train in this section for sometime before flash asked the teen to go put on his armor thanks to mina the other day he was able to have it back although the caveat was that child emperor was still fixing it up and trying to make improvements to it so he had to return it to him every now and again for maintenance, which he could understand the last thing he wanted was something to malfunction while he was in the field.

Once he was all set with his armor on, the next thing flash wanted him to do was similar to the exercise when the two had first met given that he didn't believe that flash had another mission that he wanted to try him for he assumed that this bout was more so that the older man could test just how far he's come over the last month with him, and Iida would be lying to himself that he wasn't eager as well. The last time he attempted this he could barely even get the man to try and he had hoped that this time would be different if anything he was hoping to actually land a blow against the guy in part which to show his improvement but he wouldn't lie to himself that another major part of him wanting to land a blow on the man was to kinda get back at him which he knew wasn't heroic and he should really learn to control these urges especially with the ordeal he went through with stain but unlike this he wasn't filled with rage at the man although there was a hint of anger still there or would it be better to call it bitterness in either case he really wanted to tag the man if not only to just be able to put a damper on that pride of his.

The match began with flash retelling him the rules of the engagement just like last time, he had 30 minutes to attempt to land a hit on him unlike before however they weren't in a rocky enclosure but a flat plain area instead which meant he didn't have to worry about anything tripping him up or avoiding other things in his surroundings. With his new suit and the enhanced coolant systems involved he was now able to hold his recipero burst for the entire length of the time remaining without it his time would be divided in half.

Iida prepared himself as flash once again stood in the center of the area waiting for him and once the blonde hero said that he was free to proceed he launched forwards. His first attack was a rising knee strike but it completely missed the target as flash simply ducked the strike the hero's expression still the same as it was previously one of indifference to him, Iida quickly swung back around this time aiming for sweep kick at the hero targeting his right leg and even without having to turn around the hero simply raised that leg avoiding the attack with as minimal movement as possible, Iida quickly recovered from sliding on the floor as he slid back up and continued forwards, running around before attempting his usual maneuvers of a mock charges this time however he would switch up his strategy in one instance of his mock charge he would stop completely and launch an attack on the hero, he would attempt to come from the front or the back but it didn't matter flash was quick enough to just block each attack he threw his way.

Iida wasn't defeated however he kept pressing the attack, circling around the hero and launching a volley of punches at the hero aimed at different joints and locations just to attempt to throw the hero off but it didn't work the hero continued to block all of his attack and he jumped backwards to create some distance before using his engine boost to put his quirk into overdrive going even faster than before he tried for a more head on approach threw his right arm behind him before exploding his right elbow thrusters as much as possible while he thrusted his hands forwards in an attack he called recipro straight the attack was again blocked catching the attack with his bare hands and stopping him and all of his momentum cold, there was brief wind that blew as a result slightly picking up flashes cape and making his hair slightly billow from the force.

Iida wasn't shocked by the results but he did get an idea on what he could do next, he reacted quickly pulling his fist away while simultaneously as he was about to deliver a left roundhouse kick, the blow was blocked again but Iida continued his attacks opting for more close quarter combat approach a stream of kicks and punches each of them were either blockers or diverted way, Iida was slightly surprised when one of his punches was grabbed and he was literally tossed into the air by flash with a single hand, Iida still didn't stop doing one last kick that flashed leaned out of the way of before he was completely out of range entirety. Iida was slightly ticked off by the way flash was handling this situation compared previously he hadn't even bothered moving from his spot the entire time which in contrast to how he did the first time was he assumed was a sign of pseudo-disrespect to him although he may just be over thinking things. Iida started to enact his plan charging up his thrusters and exploding into a run that took him around the area until he got to his top speed and then with that speed he began to run directly at flash but he did not attack the hero no he simply moved passed him and then did the same again and again, continuing to move past the hero at rapid speed.

His goal with this action was simple, flash was incredibly fast and agile combined with his skills made an admittedly frightening fighter but he had a fatal flaw and that was ironically his prized hair and cape moving around at the crazy speed could potentially make those things liability which Iida wanted to show here, him moving by had the desired effect as his cape and hair blew every which way as he past, when his cape finally blew in front of his face, he decided to launch his strike even he couldn't defend against something he couldn't see iida thought as he tried to strike out with another kick but was shocked when the cape finally cleared all that was revealed was empty air, he was so surprised by the attention that he nearly tripped himself up on sticking his landing from the attack. he turned around just to see flash standing there looking at him but he found some satisfaction with the fact that flash had indeed move from the spot he was normally situated in if only by a couple of centimeters which he guessed he was the best he would be able to do for now.

"Nice attempt at least with that plan there, however my misty mantle is no hindrance to me in combat, its purpose is to confuse my opponent and reduce their vision and leave my next move to be unreadable. flash remarked in half praise. Iida could see where the hero was coming from somewhat but it was still a risky gambit he was taking. If he was faster things probably would have ended up a lot worse for him.. That brought up the question: how fast is this man? Even with his awakening flash was still incredibly faster than him so he had to ask the man as their training session came to a close.

"Just…..just how much faster are you in comparison to me?" Iida said.

"If I had to give an estimate? Probably around 9000 times faster, now come along." flash said simply turning around and proceeding to the door, Iida was stunned by the answer his mind immediately jumped to the conclusion that flash was just telling him a lie or just speaking in hyperbole but for however long he's known the man he's never been one to speak to in such a way, there is the potential that he is simply overstating his abilities, Iida does get a narcissistic tone to him but he really didn't know to be sure whether he is telling the truth or not however the simple fact remained that flash was still incredibly faster than him which meant that he still had room to grow as well.

The two hero's walk through the hero association HQ prepared to go but Iida stops in his tracks when he hears a familiar voice call out from behind him.

"Savior is that you?" He heard the familiar female voice call out from behind him, making him quickly whirl around only to be greeted by a large scythe being thrusted into his face, despite the threatening gesture he remained still staring at the women.

"It is you! How has it been?" the girl replied as she set the scythe down and he was surprised with as no effort at all was able to cut into the hero association's floor as she leaned on the weapon, she noticed his look and began to rub over the scythes pole suggestively making him flush slightly but thankfully he still had his helmet on so the women couldn't see it.

"Like what you see? You know when I faced you before I didn't have my main weapon on me but now I got this. They gave it to me and It's so much better than the one I had and it cuts so nicely. Wanna try it out?" the woman remarked with a wicked grin.

"Who is this "they" You speak of? Why are you able to run around free?" Iida said in an angered tone.

"Now, now dear we aren't enemies anymore, I'm one of you now." the woman remarked before picking up her scythe and swinging it around expertly before stopping with the blade hovering around her neck.

"What do you mean by that?" Iida asked, completely baffled, a bit of nerves began to run down his spine, surely she didn't mean what he thought she meant.

"Come on now , I'm sure that you can guess …I'm a hero now. Isn't that great? Now I can cut and slice anything I want…as long as it's a monster of course. B-rated 50 " the woman said with a twirl. Iida was shocked into silence by the response and thankfully he didn't have to as someone else had called the women.

"Clemintine, get over here." another person called out from behind her, a hero in an all white costume with a decorative C on his forehead.

" on my way crescent b-roll ." the women responded

"Crescent eyebroll " the man corrected

"Same difference , anyways my chaperone is getting annoying so I guess I'll see you around my savior." the woman remarked in a teasing tone and grin, before turning around and leaving Iida in his stupor that was so much to take in before he came back to himself and just decided to focus on the rest of the day and catch back up to flash.

The hunger never ends: Tatsumaki, Uraraka

Uraraka and tatsumaki was training in their usual place training together, tatsumaki took what the girl said the other day to heart as soon as they got to the area instead of being set down like usual she was hoisted and thrown directly up and into the air, tatsumaki simply saying that a hero should be ready in a moments notice for any conflict. Uraraka quickly tucked into herself before expanding outwards to get a semblance of balance and just in the nick of time as well as multiple large rock platforms came rocketing towards her, each twice her size. Uraraka wasn't scared she quickly tapped her each of her orbs four times with her knuckles while twisting around in a circle and becoming a makeshift wrecking ball of destruction as the rock platforms approached her and she felt the four thumps of the platforms shattering off the orbs impacts she quickly released her effects on the orbs before launching all up above her to slow her fall, pulling the rope taught and being suddenly yanked upwards and away from the hard landing that awaited her well at least that's what she thought was about to happen but tatsumaki had a different idea in mind as suddenly roots sprung up from the ground and wrapped around her completely subduing her in midair.

Uraraka thought of the quickest solution to her problem was to recall her orbs back but given that they weren't under the effects of her zero gravity not only would that take time but it would also be potentially dangerous for her to do as she would have no way to actually stop or alter their course but given she had no other options right now it was the best she could do well not entirely she didn't have to reign her orbs all the way in she realized a she watched them from from the sky to the ground below she was around 10m up in the sky at this point so she had some wiggle room for her fall she began to swing her arms around in an attempt to get the large weights to strike at the base of the roots and while she was successful in causing to slightly hit the bottom half of the roots they didn't do much as even budge the thing. So there she was stuck up in hanging in mid air as Tatsumaki lazily gilded about the girl before making a joke about hanging around as the women actually left to go do something. So she sat suspended in mid air with nothing to do , she thought about wheezeliing her way back out but decided to just relax and take a selfie of the event instead.

Group chat:

Uravity: Just me and teach things

GS deku: are you alright uraraka?

Pink mist: aww!

SP light: aww!

Uravity: I'm fine, just more of the same with my teacher

LRaijin: How's the weather up there!

Tweaver: lol

GoC neith: did she just leave you like that?

Uravity: yeah kinda, I think she went to go get something.

Frogger: better training than with my teacher

Uravity: what do you mean?

Frogger: I'll tell ya later

Just as tsu sent her message the tree that was essentially holding her hostage began to glow and let her down which signified that tatsumaki was headed back. Her way although she was curious on what tsu was referring to she decided to just leave be for now as she jumped when four heavy impacts struck near her kicking up a literally ton of dust and debris even causing her to fly backwards from the force, thankfully tatsumaki had caught her in time and brought her back over to where the impacts landed she cleared all of the dust that was created allowing her to see what it was that she probably threw at her and she was surprised to find 4 more orbs there as well.

"Alright, as you asked we are kicking things into high gear, each of those orbs are 40 tons, I want you to use your powers on all of them as well as your old ones." tatsumaki said with a stern expression.

uraraka was flabbergasted by the remark I mean on one hand she was slightly happy that the green heroin thought about her request the other day and actually did things to help her out but doing what she just requested seems completely ridiculous in total all of her weights combined would weigh in at 240 tons that's an insane amount of weight for her to do especially since they really haven't been training in regards to increasing her weight distribution which in hindsight should have been one of her prime strategies well at least if she thought about it in the way similar to that of how muscles and weightlifting works? Did her quirk work like that? Or was the limit determined by how much she could just withstand without barfing? Well there was only one way to find out she thought as she hesitantly began to approach the orbs inside of the ditches they created. She began trying to think of the heaviest thing she had lifted with her quirk and other than her four original orbs the best thing that came to mind was when she lifted those and those two monsters ….she didn't know how heavy they were but given how it affected he she guessed they were somewhere in the ballpark of 100 tons.

What tatsumaki was asking her to lift was twice as high plus extra and she didn't think she could do it but she still wanted to try regardless, she needed to go plus ultra! Uraraka got down into the first orb and touched it she was shocked by how little the increase weight affected her able to connect the orb with another of her grapplers before continuing on to the second one and again the affects didn't seem so bad her confidence increased and she floated out of the second hole directly into the third hole and touched that one and all that confidence seemingly evaporated, she felt the immediate effects of her stomach becoming uneasy but it was manageable she didn't feel like she had to hold back barf just yet but she was definitely going to really feel the last one so she prepared herself for it doing a lot of deep breathing as she slowly made her way across out of the hole and into the fourth one.

she hesitated for a moment to touch it before finally committing through touching the orb with her hand and then immediately raising both of them with towards her mouth as she could feel the acidic bile wanting to escape, after a few seconds she managed to get it all down and she made her way unsteadily out of the hole and looked up at tatsumaki signaling that she was ready to go or as ready she would be under the circumstances.

The two practice for several more minutes, uraraka struggling to hold herself together the meanwhile and despite going harder on her tatsumaki could understand by just staring that the girl was currently undergoing some immediate drawbacks and didn't make the girl move around that much, while she could just cleanse the bile if she wanted to, she didn't want have to if he didn't need to. Instead with her new heavier orbs she opted for uraka to get better adjusted to them as she was with the lighter ones which included swinging them around and throwing them or a combination of the two. when an hour passed in her training uraraka was allowed one break before being dragged off into some city despite her usual admittance to doing everything at once uraraka was offered a choice of what disabilities would ale her while she was out on patrol, she would either take 12 times increased gravity along with two of her heavy orbs and two of her lighter ones or she could take all of her orbs and stay at 10 times gravity. Uraraka thought over her choices before ultimately deciding that she should just go with all her orbs, not only would give her more options for attack but undergoing an even higher increase in gravity is probably a larger disability than just the effects of her quirk going off and she wasn't quite use to 10 times gravity yet either so she probably would be of little use to anyone she thought and with that said and done tatsumaki just left the girl to her own devices.

Unlike previously in her patrols where there would have been an immediate threat in her surroundings or occasionally just in front of her, today she was actually just patrolling the city. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary which made her wonder why that tatsumaki decided to come here? Other than a few common criminals that had sprung up everything seemed more than normal in the city. Not to say there weren't monster alarms going off in the city but the local heroes seemed to have the situation under control. Uraraka due to being weighed down not only by her quirks defects but also the gravity was starting to get to her as well she would usually get to the scene late or just as it was ending. The latest monster was closer by however it was literally a monstriezed 10ft tall swan , it's beak ended in a razor sharp point and its wing were fused together with its body and it would explode outwards and fierce wind gusts it held no eyes on it's head but instead the eyes were located on it's chest multiple of them she counted at least 6, what was on the head were fin like protrusions that would shoot out needles. The creature was wholly disturbing but uraraka rubbed the nerves right off as she engaged the monster, the creature put up a violent effort but with another hero poison joining her the beast was easily fallen but due to poison being the one joining her the creature couldn't be spared so uraraka put the creature out it's misery by dropping her orbs on it finishing it off.

The two heroes caught up again after the monster was dispatch speaking amongst each other before the nonchalant hero quickly broke off into a sprint aiming his nife directly at a man with his poison covered knife uraraka was about to interfere but stop cold when the hero screamed out to the man regarding him as his father but this was anything but a friendly reunion as the hero tried to stab him again and again but the man was an expert easily evading his blows before disarming him and pointing the knife to the heroes throat. Uraraka quickly got between the two.

"Wait what's going on here?" Uraraka asked both of them.

"Just a family quarrel, nothing more." the man said

"Bastard. What are you doing out here? Shouldn't you been locked up by now." poison remarked with an unusual amount of emotion uraraka noted.

"Well no, since I have never been caught but as for what I'm doing…looks like I'm following in your footsteps now and becoming a hero now." the man said simply.

"Bullshit, like you would ever try to protect others." poison remarked

"Well normally you would be correct but things change, the association offered me something big so I joined up, killing things is easy, especially when you're using my poison." the man said before tossing the knife on the ground in front of his son, who looked down at the knife and then back at the man with an angered inquisitive gaze.

"Why the hell should I believe anything you say." poison remarked

"You don't have to ask the hero behind you." the man said before he lit a cigarette and began smoking it, poison and uraraka both turned around to see a slick dark man with dual tekkō kagi blades on each hand but what really surprised uraraka was the large women who stood next to him it was that same women from before with the pig mask.

Trouble in paradise: sweet mask, aoyama

Aoyama was still surprised by the way sudden change of pace sweet mask had been treating him since the other day which extended to today as well, unlike before where he would just leave him to his own devices while he worked on his business and other matter now he was with him in his artificially created room and personally going over different combat scenarios under increased gravity the star had increased the gravity to 6 times which was 1 over they had from yesterday but he dare not complain about such topics, he was always astounded of how no matter the gravity setting sweet mask still flowed and moved with peak proficiency like he wasn't slowed down in the slightest no matter the effects which really brought up the contrast to himself that despite his best efforts the increased weight would slow him down and make his movements more sluggish which sweet mask was quick to criticize on and hit him. Despite his harsh tone his words lacked the bite that they held before mostly just criticizing the mistakes he made and not attacking his character along with it but something else felt off about sweet mask as well.

While they were training aoyama and sweet mask mostly go over his hand to hand combat skills and try to infuse some of his navel beams with it or more precisely his navel nails from his knuckles although the way he wanted him to use it was fairly dangerous, he demonstrated on the some of the mock targets of how he wanted him to cut either laterally or horizontally through the target striking as much body mass as possible he was even able to cut through completely the metal targets which shocked aoyama imminently as his navel nails would get stuck and jam in the same situation and sweet mask would remarked that he wasn't using enough speed to make the cut clean or he would have if the idol wasn't currently rubbing a hand through his hair rather haphazardly before lashing out at 4 more target bisecting them completely making aoyama a little scared of the hero just imagining if he was one of those target instead.

"Uh….umm…you don't have to be here if …if you don't want to sir..if you have business to attend to elsewhere please don't let me keep you from it." Aoyama said hesitantly, making the hero idol snap his head towards him one side of his face was bugling with veins making the teen quickly advert his gaze from the hero and gaze at the floor, hoping the hero doesn't get the wrong idea but all he heard was a heavy sigh meet him in response as the teen looked back up at the idol and his face noticeably calmed as leaned against a wall and looked up at the ceiling.

"Excuse me for my outburst just now…things in the association are progressing in …unexpected and troubling ways." sweet mask said simply as he continued to look up at the ceiling.

"Is…is something wrong?" Aoyama hesitantly inquired, he didn't know if he should given the stars mostly reserved nature but if something was going on with the association then his friends would probably like to know about it given what they went through previously it was the least he could do for them given what he's done. The idol looked at him and scanned him for a moment as if analyzing if he should tell him about it or not before he finally spoke again as he looked towards the ceiling.

"I believe you already know this given what had happened to your friend on the scene of the incident but just to be sure. Do you know the real story behind what happened to the A-class heroes blue fire, heavy tank loincloth, and magic trick man? " Sweet masked,' asked the teen, Aoyama gulped and nodded his head before responding as the hero still wasn't looking at him.

"Yes. Unlike what we told the public, my friends had seen the documents and knew why those criminals were there was to join in some sort of deal with the association until one of them went mad and beat everyone in the room." aoyama said simply

"Correct, we don't know who it is, well more likely they aren't telling me who it was, someone doesn't just make a move like that just to cause destruction there had to be a method or message to the madnesses." sweet mask replied as he looked down at the teen who seemed to avert his gaze and rub his hands together signaling to the man that he knew something else.

"Out with it, you obviously know something more than I, do tell me." sweet mask said in a pseudo demanding tone but not one from a position of out right authority like he would normally signaling that it maybe an optional request? But Aoyama, still not wanting to take the risk, decided to answer anyway.

"Well it's nothing concrete but some speculation amongst my friends think that the perpetrator may have been a student of bangs garou is his name I believe." Aoyama remarked hesitantly.

"Bang huh? That would explain why he was quick to show up at the scene from what I've been told. If true I would wish I could shake this…garou person's hands for the good work he's done." sweet mask said simply, this completely threw aoyama off he had thought the idol would have wanted to seek the hunter out or at least. launch a witch hunt instead he just sat there chuckling to himself.

"But sir…he hurt a number of top heroes." Aoyama said attempting to pry a reason for that type of response.

"Those "heroes" in the midst aiding illegal criminals if anything it serves them right." sweet mask said immediately with his usual level of tone and attitude.

"I would have assumed after that stunt, that the association would have forgone such a stupid plan but the hero's association's incompetency knows no bounds." sweet mask offered dismissively.

"What…what do you mean by that?" Aoyama asked, still confused about what the hero was getting at.

"There are active criminals in the streets currently parading around as heroes, about 20 or so of them." sweet mask remarked with a degree of anger and now he could see why the hero was upset.

"Furthermore this has the added benefit of ruining my reputation if the police finds out about this. If they haven't done so already then they will reveal to the public that we were lying about that and which would also directly affect you and your friends as well." sweet mask pointed out, this time making aoyama spine tinge in worry.

"Well can't we just …..I don't know ….come together and try to keep it between the two government bodies?" aoyama replied skittishly

"Yes, that's what we'll likely have to resort to, groveling to them." sweet mask said with no hidden guise of disgust.

"Well maybe not groveling but maybe we can offer something else in return a partnership of sorts…back in our world the police and heroes work together hand in hand to stop crime and I believe that it's a part of the reason why they were so effective." aoyama remarked

"Interesting proposition..how does the police operate differently from the heroes in your world doesn't most of your population have these quirks you speak of?" sweet mask asked

"Yes while we do, only registered heroes are allowed to use their quirks in public." Aoyama said.

"That seems….highly invasive for a government to enact upon its subjects." sweet masked replied.

"It….it was a necessary evil, quirks can be dangerous not only to the user but for others as well….but some didn't think of it that way and we had recently fought a war against those very same people not too long ago before we arrived here. "Aoyama said, a bitter feeling welling up in his stomach again just reminiscing about that war luckily sweet mask got the topic back on course so he didn't have to linger on it or the feelings that began to weigh in on him again.

"Very interesting, your world is often an intriguing one, you should really think about writing a novel of sorts while you're here. It could prove very popular, but back to the subject at hand how the police and heroes operate in your world." sweet mask asked and the two began to disgust about all the things the police and heroes did with each other when on an operation while not everything would transfer over one to one but it could go a long way in making things less competitive between them and hopefully open up some signs of cooperation among them.

A step in the right direction: atomic disciples, sero

Sero was traveling towards J-city again to meet up with the disciples, he did take in some joy in making fun of the constant grumbling his internal ghost kept on, he shouldn't have been surprised when he woke up the other day and the ghost didn't manage to infect the other disciples and the ghost was insistent in on saying that his failure the other day was mostly due to his "lackluster" body and "inadequate skills and abilities" which sero would scoff at but he would also try to use it as an opportunity for him to least some information slip and try to coerce the ghost into improving them if only just so that the ghost would actually have a chance to infect someone that he deemed "worthy" like sero would actually let that happen but the ghost didn't need to know that though the ghost probably already speculated that he was up to something it wasn't he wasn't a dumb person, sero still didn't know what it's gender was and anytime he asked about it the ghost simply blown him off stating that it was unimportant.

Sero met with atomic disciples again on the outer edges of the swordsman's council chamber, unlike before however he had asked if he could train with them the three swordsmen was no doubt a little apprehensive in his request no doubt their masters words ringing through their heads again but they reluctantly agreed to his request, while practicing with the disciples sero learned a couple of things from both them and even the ghost inside of him which would comment on his movements and way of fighting and through all four of their criticism one thing was common in each of them, he was way to straight forwards and basic in how he did things, something that was similarly echoed by that other hero he face previously with the rope. Sero tried to brainstorm more ways he could use his tape that somehow got around this issue but nothing really came to mind without knowing how to control the tape he didn't really have much of a choice other than to be straight forwards.

But the disciples simply stated that he was thinking too much about himself and not the environment he finds himself in. The group traveled some further away from the council chamber before they started to work with sero on things he could further improve, these included using the environment further to his advantage not only to just swing from certain obstacles, create a barrier of tape, and throw things but also more covert maneuvers such as creating line traps or a sort of rube goldberg machine that would cause a chain reaction of events to occur if a certain pieces of tape were cut or tampered with. Sero was shocked with the possibilities he actually held at his disposal the only problem being getting things in the right order would require immense preparation and is unlikely to be done in a quick time frame although okamaitachi just snidely mentions that he should just think faster then, after a bit more practice and one more killing intent practice with sero's ghost the group of four left out into J-city proper to fight monsters.

There had been a couple of monster alarms throughout the city but nothing that the disciplines couldn't take care of themselves although there were some occasion where they would have him take on the monster nothing that was above threat level wolf thankfully but that didn't make it easy his first monster they had him face was a mysterious humanoid creature that had a large fly shaped head combined with butterfly wings part of the reason he assumed the disciples let him take on the monster was due to how the thing would just hover in the air away from them the only disciple that had a hope of catching it was okamaitachi but the girls airblade technique would also constantly miss the fly person hybrid able to avoid the admittedly fast attack due to the range at which it was flying from and the linear nature of the move. So it was down to him to at least cage the thing so the disciples can get a good shot on it. The city provided ample opportunity for him to swing around from object to object and the multiple tall buildings allowed him to scale pretty high in the sky to reach the bug monster, sero momentarily remarked to himself that it was surprising that in this world that this person? Was considered a monster but in his world it would have been seen as nothing special or new and people wouldn't even bat an eye to his existence , he was subtly distubred from his thoughts by his internal ghost which told him to focus on the task at hand which he did so shooting out a string of tape at the monster which given his unexpected angle of attack worked he was successfully able to wrap the creature up causing it to fall toward the ground but the monster thought quickly throwing up acid that quickly dissolves his tape and freed itself before quickly turning around and shooting another stream of acid at sero which quickly changed course to avoid the deadly substance and quickly started to run the other direction.

he avoided a couple of sprays of acid swinging from the different object making sure not to go near the public by staying high in the air at least he attempted to before the fly-person switched it's tactics and started to shoot avid directly at his tape before they could attach to a building causing him to begin to free fall. He shot tape out at the creature in distraction but the acid prevented any of his attacks from getting through as it flew toward him, sero blood pressure and nerves began to get to him as he scrambled for what he should do but before he could think of anything he suddenly found himself on the ground a few paces away was the monster completely gored by tape on all sides looking like a pin cushion. Sero thanked his internal ghost for saving him there but the ghost simply responded saying that dying in such a manner would disgrace him. When sero remarked that he could have kept the monster alive though the ghost responded that he wasn't as soft as he was.

I like to move it: darkshine, pig god, kirishima, sato

Sato and kirishima were ecstatic to get back to training with darkshine and bone, just like the day prior there time started off normally enough with some limbering exercises and weight lifting unlike before however bone was right there with them working out all together, the three of them often competing amongst each other of either who could lift the most weight or who could do the most reps, the new gravity ring allowed the group of three the chance to also practice under increased gravity all at the same time. Sato and kirishima were a bit skeptical of bone trying out their max setting of 8 times gravity with them but after a few moments the hero acclimated well and was ready and raring to go so after getting their bodies adjusted to the increased weight it was time for them to get on with their sparring adventures.

Bone would go over a couple of forms and strikes with both teens teaching them how to effectively use their entire bodies in a conflict he emphasized to kirishima especially that they should always try to strike with the hardest parts of their body such as the knee, elbows, or in certain cases the head. After the two got some of the strikes down, it was time for the fun part as bone would say he would challenge both kirishima and sato together in a sparring match originally kirishima thought it seemed like a bit of a stretch for the hero's capabilities given that his fight against him was mostly an even contest but boy was he wrong, when the three of them really got down to it, he was much faster than he was when he fought him in that charity event and bone simply remarked that he was playing up the crowd and now he was fighting seriously, while his punches were still the same strength as previously the increased speed made the force of each blow much greater.

Both him and sato began to work together just to keep up with the hero even under the effects of the gravity machine he was almost lighting fast able to block punches from both him and sato together while returning a punch or a knee of his own, kirishima would go into his unbreakable mode just to get the hero to move around like they were even if his punches carried more force in that state kirishima could withstand them better although he wondered about what would happen if he was also in his powered up state, kirishima had managed to get a hold of the hero allowing sato to attempt and land some attacks but even with just one arm he was able to block most of the damage but some did get through until a surprise leg sweep took kirishima off his feet and down to the ground and roundhouse kick sent sato spiraling towards one of the corners of the ring freeing the hero up to face the two head on again. The three of them went at it for a couple more minutes, the two teens managing to be able to take the hero down a total of three times in comparison to him taking them down a combination of 12, sato was 8 of those and kirishima 4 of them respectively.

The three tired and exhausted from their time got out of the gravity ring and took a break, bone offered both teens pointers on how they could improve their fighting styles, for kirishima he remarked how the teen could theoretically increase the strength of his blows by hardening into his unbreakable form and out again, he also emphasized that he should work on making that enhanced form his base hardened state or at the very least to minimize the stamina drain and time limit by only hardening the specific area that's about to be hit which kirishima nodded at, sato on the other hand he didn't have much advice for as he was essentially just a basic fighter but he had made a suggestion that he may ask around for some type of headgear or feeder system that automatically feeds him a pellet every 10 minutes so that he wouldn't have to worry or waste time doing it himself which sato agreed to look into. The three of them sat about discussing various topics such as the biggest monster they've beaten and things of that nature while darkshine simply trained in the gravity chamber all of them were shocked that he could go to up 200 times gravity and only then showed signs of struggling his muscles and veins were all bulging and made the already huge man look even more massive, as there break came to a close however, pig god had walked into the gym and sato greeted him while introducing bone.

After some more mild conversation the group of four decided that they should go out on patrol, darkshine staying behind as was his mission to safeguard the association especially after the events that happened just a week prior the association was adamant that a S-class hero stay within the city walls just in case something happens. So the four of them left pig god and said that they were headed towards S-city. The group of four patrolled the city for a moment. Monsters seemed sparse if anything there were more normal criminals going around than monsters and the four heroes went to work taking care of each one that popped up their way.

Before they decided to call the patrol up though there was one more monster alarm of threat tiger given that they were close by the heroes immediately made their way over to the danger and immediately finding an intriguing site the monster that was currently attacking the city block were rock monsters golem like creatures there body made mostly of rock and other mineral in many shapes and sizes some in a more humminoid shape while others were in the shapes of animals like gorillas and a large snakes, kirishima and sato even remarked that one looked even oftly similar to that rock golem in that game …clans battle or something like that. Surprising the group bone had asked pig god to sit this one out and let them take care of it, which pig god obliged, there were a total of nine creatures in total and therefore he expected that all of them should be able to take on three of them and even made it contest to do so having the looser buy the group lunch both sato and kirishima grimaced knowing how much of an appetite pig god can have and the bill he could total immediately sprinted out to get any advantage they could.

The battle was not one that was to difficult for the three members kirishima had the easiest time being able to dispatch the three rock monster with some difficulty after he entered his unbreakable state in which he was able to literally ripped them apart however this only promised another issue where inside of the rock creatures lied small crystals. These crystals began to glow and suddenly the scattered rocks began to move around and combine together creating an even larger rock monster. Seeing the change occur tipped bone off on taking hold of the glowing crystals and smashing them on the ground allowing him to steal the first place which he gloated in, while kirishima fought the even bigger rock monster, it's strength had increased at least three fold but even with that kirishima didn't break, their fight came to a head when kirishima focused all of his hardening to his head and delivering a new move he dubbed red cannon shattering the monster enough where he could drive his hand through the whole he created and shattering the crystal beneath.

The other two turn their attention to sato who was having trouble with his monsters being surrounded and constantly pushed around while in the center of the monsters formation but as the last creature died by kirirhsima's hands all of the creatures ran away digging into the ground and escaping towards the mountains. Sato cursed himself for letting them escape but neatheir kirishima or bone held it against him, luckily for his bank account pig god went to a place where if he accomplished a challenge then he wouldn't have to pay for his portion of the bill and he would get a discount on the rest and if he knew anything about this place was that pig god can really knock the food back.

Like baseball: tank toppers, shoji

Shoji had been experimenting with his new tank top and powers more and more and had come to his ultimate conclusions of how much of a boost the thing really gave him, in total maximum he received a boost of at most 5 times increase his normal strength and a three times increase in speed. While he was appreciative towards the increase from the clothing or should he say god? Or force? Earthier way he thought while a decent increase to his abilities he couldn't help but wonder why he was given more it seemed that whatever granted him and the rest of the tank tops power was highly selective of how much power it granted a particular member at first shoji simply assumed that the power given was directly related to how much you believed in the force or deity but that didn't really make sense as then all of the tank tops would be stronger wouldn't they?

The tank top group was scattered amongst the ranks mostly in the B and C class heroes with only three being in A-class and only one of them in the S-class. But why he thought, they all derive their power from the same source and they all seemed extremely dedicated to it….but maybe that was the problem? The tank toppers were all a extremely dedicated group of individuals but that dedication and loyalty seemed directed towards tank master than the to the tank tops themselves besides that of tank philosopher but that didn't explain than why tank vegetarian was also so powerful, so he revised his theory on the matter maybe it was a diluted source of power? The more members that pledge loyalty to the energy source the less benefits that would be given as it filters through the members it made some semblance of sense as tank top vegetarian and tank top philosopher were the two longest acting members and were around during the groups foundation.

He brought his theories up with tank philosopher as that was the logical step of things but that didn't provide much in the terms of answers, philosopher could only read fragments of his book and it only described the tank top force as beneficial and a generous energy that flowed into its believers but he conveniently could't see how it worked or functioned or what actually caused its creation in the first place, shoji let it be for the day as he went out on patrol. Just like the previous day he didn't go out with his usual crew as before. Instead today he was going out with tank cop and tank doctor. Slightly surprising combination that was requested by tank master himself and when the master gave an request it was usually met with as an order to the tank toppers.

Surprisingly the first destination for the three was a baseball field and he guessed that tank top master had given his request more thought then he originally believed, there the three had actually practiced some throwing procedures with a number of objects. The first objects that they began with were simple and easy like baseballs and other things of that nature but they soon transferred to other objects such as rocks, metal plates and even bullets out of tank cops guns. He was surprised when tank cop remarked that he carried the weapon only as a container for his bullets or when he was fighting just common thugs or criminals of at least B-rank or lower. He showed his skills as he threw his own bullets with his hands and shoji was shocked of the difference in power and speed out of the admittedly oversized pistol compared to the man simply using his hands he had angled the bullets skywards and launched them completely with a speed that created a small sonic boom upon launch unlike the bullets fired from the pistol which he could see and watch the bullet traveled, the thrown shots were completely invisible to him and the destruction on the targets spoke for themselves.

Tank doctors contribution to the practice was essentially form management, similar to midoriya and his classmates, tank doctor was able to easily analyze the form and shape of several of his fellow tank toppers he would also make note of how the tank top takes forms in each of their attire and relayed to shoji that he too should have a "Unique" way he wears his tank top. But his advice mostly came in the form of how he is throwing the objects in comparison to how master and tank cop did. He remarked how just before each throw as your arms is extended that he makes sure to build up his tank top energy into his arm before throwing the object and that the release of this energy was the key into perfecting how the tank top throws their weapons.

After the group trained around for a couple of hours, the group decided to do some patrols in the neighboring city, N-city. The patrol wasn't much of a hassle as monsters were an infrequent obstruction and most of their time the group simply spent helping out the community in different ways possible weather that be cleaning off graffiti from buildings, helping lost tourists or in shoji case helping retrieve discarded items from hard to reach places. Things came to a slight tension when tank cop had met up with some police officers of the area, tank cop had expert networking skills that allied him to basically have connection to all of the police precincts on the continent which may sound impressive but given that there were only one in each city made it a lot more manageable. The cops had disclosed among them a couple of rumors they have heard going around about convicted felons working alongside heroes to fight monsters along with other rumblings which tank cop appreciated and would tell the master about if he didn't know already.

The next thing the cops did was personally apologize to him about the incident from a month ago now at this point it became a common occurrence to shoji any city he went to and had accidentally met or bumped into the cops would apologize to him for their groups actions that day even if he would constantly say it was ok and he didn't hold a grudge especially on the whole group of them. But part of him wondered if something else was going on, he had been told of the rivalry between the association and police and he knew thanks to the interview that people would be against them but he didn't think it would have been as severe as it was, even now with the police just talking to him he could see several on looker giving discouraging glares not towards him but the officers instead some even trying to discreetly take videos of their interactions and so he always made it a point to come off as friendly as possible to turn the situation around in their favor but it did worry him about what the cops had said as he left waving goodbye, if the cops comeback with their own statements that completely debunk and how that the association was lying then no doubt the discouraging stares would be redirected back at him and his friends in no time flat….he did a silent chuckle it would be like he was back at home again he thought despairingly.

Safety first: drive knight, Momo

Momo was back in the storage area with drive knight unlike her previous teachers where she would essentially just practice with drive knight once before setting out into the world with her teacher and continuing to work and train in the field but not this time around for two major reasons, the first was one of her own making unlike previously where she had at least some experience with the weapons she was handling this time she was going in blind and given potential damage that these weapons could cause she didn't want to take the risk of going out in the world without the thought of being fully prepared. The second reason was that she didn't want to intrude on tokoyami's times with his teacher, when she told him of her initial plan he was initially reluctant in agreeing with her sighting that he would like that his training with zombieman be kept just between the two of them and her being their would disrupt it however that he was willing to agree to her plan in maybe a couple of days time which she completely understood, knowing tokoyami was definitely among the most quiet and secretive of her classmates she wanted to respect his wishes and privacy.

Also unlike her previous teachings this one involved a lot of actual studying as well given her reservation to kill people or things, drive knight had orchestrated a presentation of sorts that taught her all about ammunition types to use against certain targets as well as where on the body to shoot so that someone has a greater chance of surviving, drive knight insured to drill into her that there will never be a guarantee way to ensure someone survives a gunshot wound and that even purpleously aiming for ligaments such as arms or legs can still hit major arteries that can cause someone to bleed out rather quickly. Alternatively momo was very interested in thing such as rubber bullets and while drive knight assumed that she would be he still warned her of the dangers of such ammunition while they wouldn't enter through the body, they could still cause some major bodily harm to average people and he also warned her about how fruitless they would be against monsters stating that even the weakest wolf level threat would be unaffected as both bullet proof to calibers of most 9mm pistols that police are equipped with.

Momo training also included weight lifting and additional strengthening exercises, drive knight explained that to fire a firearm in rapid succession must require a decent amount of strength to withstand the recoil and keep your weapon on target. Momo would be offered a simulated experience by firing and hefting a machine gun. For example, she was surprised by how much it rocked back against her and shook her entire body but she got the message loud and clear. The next part of the assignment was learning how to draw the weapon given her quirk she never had to worry about carry a weapon on her she simply needed to think about it but that was another issue entirely, drive kight also curious about how it would work if she could a craft a fully loaded weapon would it be more beneficial for her to just constantly craft more and more guns from her body instead of reloading normally or would the standard way still apply?

Obviously as the girl is first starting out it would be massively more simple for her to just constantly craft the weapon over and over again instead of reloading as for a novice it could take time and cause some unnecessary problems if not done properly. The counter to that issue was the amount of guns that would liter the streets and potentially be stolen by criminals momo noted although drive knight casted that aside simply saying that she could just install a self destruct device in them that made them explode if they are fired by an unregistered user but momo didn't really like that plan either as that could have potentially disastrous effects on a civilian who maybe pick the weapon up to just move out of the way or since the person wouldn't know that it's without ammo may try to use to defend themselves from a threat. Eventually after discussing a few more of the details she ultimately concluded to just reload normally when in a normal environment and she would build muscle memory to do so but within a secluded environment or if the enemy doesn't present the opportunity for her to she would just create another weapon as a desperate measure.

The next part of her exercises was moving around with weapons in her hands, she didn't have any real loaded firearms on her but the prop weapons that drive knight had gave her was in words essentially the exact same but instead of firing bullets it shot out a simple harmless laser, that she was supposed to land on target within an obstacle course that he made for her. Initially she didn't have much trouble moving around while encumbered thanks to her training with shadow ring but the true problem came with target acquisition and actually landing the shot on target. She was surprised that when she first fired and realized that the weapons despite fring a laser still had recoil but that wasn't what really thew off her aim, what really threw off her aim was that the targets location were always placed in strategic locations that required her to shoot while on the move, she only managed to hit around 5% of the targets and this dramatically decreased when the targets themselves began to move around along with her but she was determined to get the hang of things down.

When it rains it pours: volten , kaminari

Kaminari was back in V-city he memorized the route to volten's dojo now at least he memories the point of where he needed to go from the shelter to the dojo, he wanted to explore the city a bit but he didn't want to be too late for volten's class so he doubled hiked his way their momentarily taking a pit stop to super charge himself into his lighting god state and then wait a moment before speeding his way up to the dojo ad making his way inside, kaminari felt a strange feeling to the right of him but before he could even check blue lighting flared to his right and he was struck away further into the dojo it was volten as he expected as he rubbed his cheek from the pain he just gained but instead of the pain he was more curious about that feeling he had just now and that feeling flared again this time it was coming from his left and just like previously it was volten their again with another electrical charged punched that knocked him away again, this time the pain from the punch was almost impossible to ignore.

"Owww..man ok I got it, I was late but I was like three minutes." Kaminari said rubbing his left cheek, he could have swore it began to start swelling.

"It is not that you were late that concerns me, what concerns me is the reason why you were? Given your enhanced state and the lighting bolt that struck the side of the hill, I can only imagine that it was you that caused it and given your speed you should have been able to make it here on time just fine but you didn't." Volten remarked, making Kaminari release a silent breath as his mouth was left agape as he rubbed the back of his head, he didn't think about that, he could already priciture a mini chibi Jiro calling him an idiot in his mind.

"Well yeah….I just got distracted is-" Kaminari was about to lie but looked up to see the stern look on the man's face and just decided to tell him the truth.

"Well due to certain reasons I wanted to get as much training in as possible so when I noticed that when I was late that you went even harder on me, I thought to maybe make it a habit to progress faster." Kaminari murmured out in response as he looked to the ground, he was surprised when the man simply let out a sharp laugh and as he looked up he saw a smile on the man's face.

"I see well, you should have just told me sooner I would gladly train you harder if that is what you wish but forewarning that there is no going back." Volten said as he cracked his knuckles and a charge of static running through it. Kaminari audibly gulped at the gesture but he nodded nonetheless and proceeded to stand back up, he felt that familiar feeling again but this time it was directed at the front of him, having felt that feeling twice now and what had happened afterwards he attempted to block his chest area assuming that's where volten would strike but he was just to slow volten had struck him in the chest knocking the wind right out of him and sending him spiraling across the room where he slammed his back into one of the dojo's walls where he quickly crouched down in a kneeling position wheezing , trying to catch his breath again.

"Come now, stand up so that we may begin." Volten said simply, but despite the pain, Kaminari was too interested in that feeling again, he held up one hand as a sign for him to pause, he took several more breaths before he raised up again.

"Wait , sir…I think I'm onto something here, come at me again but …can you not hit me? Or at the very least pull your punches? Please?" Kaminari remarked as he stepped forwards again. Volten simply nodded and he was about to attack but before he even moved something Kaminari said completely halted him.

"Behind!" kaminari yelled before quickly turning around but was surprised when no blow came and volten wasn't there he quickly turned back around seemingly as confused as volten was.

"Dang I thought I was really on to something there, maybe I was just getting lucky or something." kaminari remarked

"No, No..you were oddly correct, I did indeed plan to attack you from behind …you..somehow predicted it?" Volten remained surprised.

"Oh yeah, I don't know if it was just a feeling I had. It's like I can sense the electricity in the air just before you even arrive there. It's hard to explain the feeling really.`` Kaminari replied.

"Interesting, let's put this ability to the test." volten said simply

The two continue to test kaminari's new sensory ability for a small amount of time kaminari was able to correctly guess each direction volten would have attacked him in but interestingly enough he could only properly guess from a particular range this range was around 20 meters, but the feeling he sense would taper off the further and further he got from him as well as the intestine of the individual to him would dramatically affect how this feeling would react. Volten, finding that they spent enough time practicing with his new ability, decided that enough was enough and the two proceeded with their normal training regime.

Normal wasn't entirely true either the two continued their normal forms and regulations but volten added extra exercises such as agility training and by this he meant leaping off the hill to the waters below but what made this crazy to kaminari was that the rocks beneath the hill weren't some normal flat facing rocks no they were all spiky and sharp looked like could gore him if he fell the wrong way. The agility part came in when they would have to climb back up the large hill using nothing but the rocks and platforms available, things didn't help kaminari that occasionally the perpetual storming hanging over head would shoot out a lighting bolt at him, volten remarked that it was an additional part of his training that he would need to absorb the lighting directed at him and not let any of it hit the mountain side. This proved more difficult then he originally thought as while he was essentially a lighting rod there was no guarantee that the lighting would fork off so he needed to keep an eye on the storm while simultaneously making sure that he watched his balance when scaling the cliff the only benefit he had was that despite how far the lighting clouds were his new sensory abilities seemed to work better the more electricity was involved so when ever he felt something about to strike he would turn around and stick his hand out to draw the lighting bolt forth toward him.

he would have thought that all that electricity would have fried his brain like before but instead it only made his mind clearer every time he guessed that when his lighting god mode it was the opposite of the his base state the more lighting he absorbed the better and more powerful he felt and the longer he could stay in the form, so him in a thunderstorm was basically invincible he realized with a slight chuckle to himself. As he finally managed to scale the cliff and their volten waited for him to arrive but there was no break once he got up their the next exercise was immediate combat exercise followed almost immediately by physical exercises which was three times the amount he did previously and this hard training continued until break was finally forced upon him by his mode just finally clocking out and rendering him fried, and given the extremely long time he held the form his inebriated state was almost equally as long comparatively to his others times he overloaded. Although Volten was patient to wait for him just the same.

Past hidden now revealed: zombieman, tokoyami

Tokoyami and zombieman were back in the usual clearing and were continuing with his training, despite the enduring experience that often changed between day to day. his mind continued to wonder about if anything actually came of his confessions the other day, unlike previously when he went night training he would wake up a little after dark shadow was subdued but last time was different he hadn't awakened until zombieman was long gone and he was back home, which suggested to him that something had indeed changed but upon questioning zombieman about he only gave vague answer saying that nothing really changed from their night training and that he might have just been more tired than normally, and that he shouldn't worry about it, but something about how the man said it was tipped him off that he wasn't telling the entire truth. This suspicion grew more when he noticed that the hero was examining dark shadows more closely than normal given dark shadows' limited and shapeless form he couldn't really give a guess of what the hero was looking for or why in particular so when the two finally decided to go on break from their training he finally addressed his concerns.

"You aren't being entirely forthcoming with me are you?" tokoyami asked as both of them sat in the shade or a large tree.

"You would make a good detective, you know that?" zombieman said with a small chuckle as he took a hit of his cigarette.

"So was it..all for naught? And I simply embarrassed myself the other day." tokoyam grumbly remarked.

"Come on man, it wasn't so bad you got all that lovey dovey stuff out of your system, I'm sure it was a huge load off your chest. " dark shadow remarked coming out of his shoulder. Tokoyami didn't reply he didn't know how to feel on the events of the other day saying his emotions out loud wasn't something he was use to and sharing with a stranger while somewhat comforting also came with it's own concerns as well, especially in the case that zombieman and him accidentally run into asui.

"Come on dude you worry for nothing, Even if nothing came from it there at least you took a major step into actually asking her out." tokoyami said with a snicker. Zombieman let out an exhale before responding to tokoyami's initial question.

"Well I wouldn't say that it was completely for nothing, send the dark guy over for a sec." zombieman replied and tokoyami gave a slight nod indicating for dark shadow to do as he said, dark shadow approached the hero confidently and the hero examined him for a moment before poking him in the eye.

"Ow…man what gives." dark shadow remarked as he suddenly retracted to tokoyami.

"Your eyes are yellow." zombieman said simply in response before taking another puff of his cigarette.

"Wow nothing gets past you ace detective." dark shadow snapped back.

"What he means to say, is there some type of significance to that comment." tokoyami said. Zombieman exhaled.

"There is…. Normally when the little guy freaks out his eyes are full on red, give you a guess on what ⅓ of his color was yesterday." zombieman said.

"Orange." tokoyami replied simply

"Now look at who's the ace detective." zombieman said with a smirk. Tokoyami was a bit stunned by the news he looked to dark shadow which hovered around him but it seemed like the shadow creature was not really their like it zone out for a moment before simply shrugging his shoulders at him and heading back inside without a single word…tokoyami noted the weird behavior but pushed it away as he focused more on the revelation that zombieman just set and he understood the wordless question the hero was asking him.

"Fine ….we can continue." tokoyami said.

"I'm all ears." zombieman said simply.

"I….I..guess we can just continue from the love aspect" Tokoyami said nervously his fur felt itchy and dark shadows sooth him by running shadow claws through his fur.

"You like two different people?" zombieman asked

"No this was a long time ago back in elementary school in fact. I did like someone and she liked me back but…..that was before I looked like this." Tokoyami said simply. This got zombiemans attention.

"The bird head? You weren't born like that?" zombieman asked , tokoyami shook his head, his throat tightened and he could feel his heart rate increase as he thought back to those days.

"No, quirks usually manifest in around the age of four, dark shadow had manifested but the bird head came in sometime later in phases." Tokoyami murmured.

"Ahhh, I see …so I guess that would put a damper on things." zombieman remarked , tokoyami offered a sound of agreement.

"It likely would have if it manifested quicker, my bird head first manifested with the beak in an incredibly awkwards situation and I almost ended up maiming the girl permanently in the eye." tokoyami said with no small degree of effort he struggled to recite the memories as he imagined all that happened next the yelling, anger, and humiliation he received following.

"I…see. We can call it there for now. Give you some time to recoup, I know the past can be a bitch to remember." zombieman said as he put his cigarette out. Tokoyami was a bit surprised by the man's tone, well lacking thereof if anything but he was equally surprised that there was no laughter or further questioning of anything. He just accepted what he said and continued to move forward with the rest of their training. Tokoyami had informed them zombieman of Momo's intentions to train with him and he agreed although they wanted to give it at least another day so that they could fully prepare for things to come.

Whirlwind spree: Toru, Jackie

Toru was back in her class, just as before she continued to take classes a bit more seriously than she has been previously now that she understood that she can use the whirlwind as well as she could she wanted to try her best to get the best out of it and this usually involved training with fred over her usual training partner in jackie much to the dark skinned girls annoyance but she was partly understanding even though the girl would turn up every now and then with the occasional comment about what would ojiro think about her spending so much time with another guy which would throw her off occasionally in her practice making the dark skinned girl laugh at her blunder.

Toru was curious about the girl and the class however, given that she along with fred were some of the most proficient with the whirlwind it meant that they were two of the most peaceful people in the class, for Jackie she kinda understood if she wasn't naturally an orphan and was made one instead she could understand having her driving force be vengeance or anger halt her progress in the technique but if that was the case than she was extremely curious about one of the other women in their class she didn't know the girls name as she was incredibly silent most of the time but what worried her was how the whirlwind manifested for her which signaled that she held a lot of hatred for something but what? which got her curious but she wouldn't dare be bold enough to ask the girl out right as that would be a massive leap over boundaries but it was always in the back of her mind whenever the class went up to test their progress with the whirlwind.

The class today was as normal as could be for the most part now that she was paying attention more on the whirlwind aspects of the class. bomb would go over the applications of the whirlwind on targets and the effects it can cause and just how she imagined it was fairly brutal the picture of the monster he fought being cut into circular pieces as blood sprayed out wards away from him, she slightly chuckled to herself that at least she wouldn't have to worry about getting dirty she thought. The next thing she figured out was that the whirlwind can only be halted or avoided, if something managed to block the whirlwind it usually meant that whatever was attacked was too durable to be cut by the speed of your wind, the more proficient you were the faster your wind was which increased it's cutting power.

The class continued onwards as those proficient with the whirlwind was taken to the side to practice amongst each other in utilizing on human targets but that doubt came swirling back into her mind just thinking about what if she messed up and hurt someone but after some reassuring words form bomb and some guidance from fred in that regard she managed to get though the period, bomb had paired her with fred and the two clash whirlwind for whirlwind most of the time he even taught her how to perform that cool, stomp variant of the technique although the problem she had with it was condensing it down towards a target area.

After the class was over Jackie and toru still continued to stay back which toru thanked bomb for allowing them to do, it was mostly during this time where toru would pratice her light manipulation abilities, she was able to create extremely basic shapes with her light such as blocks and sticks. She was also working on enhancing her vision with said abilities simulating that of the telescope allowing her to see much farther away than she would normally be able to, much to Jackies praise. She called this ability light enhancement: telescope . ideally she wanted to extend her light enhancements skills to include things such as armor, gauntlets and other things of that nature but only time will tell if she can actually make that happen.

What she could do or partially do was make someone else invisible as long as they were staying in one place at least. She was able to direct a large amount of light away from a specific area allowing that place to seem invisible for some, the problems came with the wall was strenuous concentration required and the practicality of such a technique seemed spars but bomb reassured her that it could lead to other abilities down the road. She was curious if she could combine her light manipulation with the whirlwind technique , bomb said that it was likely impossible since the whirlwind only moved in a singular direction once unleashed but there was no point in not trying it but after a few tries she found no luck the whirlwind was too hard for her to see so maybe she just needed to pratice with it some more. After some more training in her light manipulation and further hand to hand combat training with Jackie the two took a bow before heading out into the night to the usual reception of a rampaging dark shadow that she doubled with her light refraction , she noted how strange his eyes were however half of them being orange and the other being red.

A potential friend: Koda, Torax, Aki

{So where are we going? Judging by the looks of things and given my nature it appears we are heading to another cell.} torax remarked as the group of him aki and koda walked underground in A-city.

{no….no nothing like that uhm…we're going to meet a…acquaintance of mine you could say.} Koda replied nervously, clearly indicating from his tone that something was up to the tiger but not the cub who seemed oblivious from it all.

{ooh , is this acquaintance a monster of some kind or is it that robot guy from before?" Aki asked.

{it's a monster, that robot from before came to talk to me about him.} koda replied, aki simply nodded in understanding.

"Going by the way you worded that sentiment this monster likely isn't going to be friendly is it?" torax remarked, koda noted how he actually spoke in human language instead of his monster language. Koda did a hesitant nod before replying.

"Yes , we're going to visit a monster that we captured a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to check up on him and see how he was doing. I found out that they were making jewelry from its scales and got worried about it.`` Koda remarked, earning a snicker of sorts from the tiger.

"You are a weird human I'll give you that, a number of humans would most likely see us suffer than offer help." torax replied

"I was just raised differently you could say, all life is important to me." koda remarked

"I see but be that as it may this monster, I doubt it would see it the way you do, so I assume it will attack you upon us entering its enclosure and that's the reason I'm here?" Torax summarized, koda nodded again.

"It's not the complete reason, since you didn't want to return to child emperor's lab I asked sitch if you could stay with us in A-city, he agreed although I'm sure with three of us my room would be pushing the limits for space , so stitch agreed to make an extension to our house for you and aki's place but it will likely take some time to make." Koda replied.

"Interesting prospect but I guess we should focus on the task at hand, what disaster level is the monster?" torax asked

"A demon." Koda murmured again.

"Well don't you always keep dangerous company." torax replied with a laugh, koda let out a small chuckle in response as well.

{hey don't leave me out on what you guys are talking about.} aki remarked

{nothing important, just that torax will be living with us from now on ok?} Koda remarked as he rubbed a hand over the cub's head. The cub yipped in glee before rubbing against both koda and then torax as the three walked through the long caravan hallway, koda shouldn't have been too shocked by the security put in place to guard these monsters especially after they escaped the first time from captivity.

After bringing them down into the basement of the metal city stitch escorted them down forwards passed a number of monster that seemed to be suspended in large canisters, he remarked that a majority of the monster found in those pods were simple wolf to tiger level threats and that the demon level threats and higher were kept elsewhere. After moving past them they continued on until they met a large metallic door that after stitch used an eye scanner opened up for the group to continue forwards stitch gave them the door number to the monster they were looking for and advised that there were security cameras all along the way and when they were done to just do the same thing he did with the eye scanner. Koda was somewhat shocked that he had that level of access that he did but he assumed it must have been metal knight….he must have had more influence than the teen once thought.

The group found the monster they were looking for after passing around three others. Koda took a hesitant look inside the metal enclosure and saw that scaledon seemed to be resting on the other side of the space, his enclosure was a incredibly simple blank canvas although it fitted the monster bulk well enough as the three of them stepped inside koda didn't know what to do, he didn't want to disturb the monsters slumber but while it was in the midst of saying that scaledon's tail immediately sprung to action pointing at him before unleashing a hail of spikes but koda was so surprised by the attack that he couldn't avoid them but luckily torax was there and swipe the large spikes out of the air.

Scaledon stood to his full size, its tongue quickly exiting and entering his mouth like a lizard before it locked its eyes on him and snarled.

"I thought something was off, normally those bastards would tranquilize me before stepping a foot in here. What are you doing here? And what is that thing your guard cat or something?" scaledon remarked as it curled its clawed hands into fist.

"I prefer to just go by mediator if you will." torax responded simply.

"You think you could save him from me?" scaledon remarked as he took a threatening step forward trying to intimidate the creature with his size, but torax simply chuckled before growing larger himself, the two measured each other up for a moment torax was around 10ft bigger at his full size but he didn't want to bang his head against ceiling so he stuck with just 5ft taller but scaledon was not intimidated in the least bit but torax just scaled back down to his normal size.

"But I do want to avoid a fight if at all possible, pointless violence isn't worth it. The kid just wants to talk to you." Torax replied simply before enlarging enough to grab Aki by the neck and drag her away to the corner of the room, much to the little cubs annoyance.

Scaledon watched the tiger walk away and lay down and he continued to watch it for a moment before turning his attention back to Koda, when he understood the cat wasn't going to make any sudden moves, despite what his body language showed he understood that that cat was strong probably as strong as he was so he didn't want to chance it. That just left the reason why this monster was following after some human could it be that his voice is controlling that creature? Scaledon wasn't going to leave it to chance and unexpectedly charged at the small teen in surprising burst of speed.

he attempted to gore the teen with his tail and was about to watch with glee as the only thing the teen could do was let out a pitiful shrill with that irritating voice of his but he was shocked when the teens suddenly stopped his tail cold in it tracts before being pushed back by a shove from the very same teen causing him to stagger backwards for a couple of steps. he quickly caught his balanced and observed the teen some more, Time couldn't have passed that much for him to get that much stronger, neither could have grown so weak in his captivity for that to be a possibility either, he took a glance back at the cat creature before for a moment before who was still laying down lazily grooming that small cub before stopping and looking back at him.

"I don't need to physically stop you myself, the kid's evolved since you've been in here." torax said simply, before going back to what he was doing. Scaledon was confused but turned his attention back to teen at hand going off that display of strength just now a fight between the two could be more hassle than he would initially bargain for and in that event him combined with that tiger over their could be trouble so….scaledon swallowed his bubbling anger and took a few steps back to give the teen some more space and to show that he wasn't going to attack again…at least not yet, might as well give the punk a chance to talk.

"What do you want to "talk" about huh? Think you can mind control me like that cat over there." scaledon said, the belching laugh from the creature in questio drew his attention away.

"I'm not being controlled by anyone." torax replied offhandedly

"Are you sure about that? this wheezeles voice had an effect on me before " scaledon remarked pointing a finger at koda.

"I'm fairly sure, while his voice is like a cheese grater to the brain, nothing really stops me from killing him if I wanted to. Well nothing that is except me ending up dead or like you that is.`` Torax remarked with a yawn showing its fangs, Koda noticeably shivered at the remark, letting out a nervous chuckle.

"What do you mean like me? You're allowed to walk around scott free?" scaledon remarked

"Well scott free is not the way I would put it but now I can go wherever he goes." Torax said. Before telling aki what was happening. Scaledon was a bit surprised by that before looking back at Koda skeptically.

"What do you want, kid." scaledon said as he sat back down looking at him.

"Well I just wanted to come and check up on you." koda, this gained a grunt of annoyance from the monster.

"You were a part of the ones that put me here in the first place, why do you care?"

"Well …aki smelled that your scales and having followed her it was being used for jewelry so I got nervous about what they were doing to you." Koda remarked.

"That's what those bastards were putting me to sleep for?." scaledon said before he growled in anger.

"Yes so me and my friend set out to find some answers and through the right people I managed to find out who was behind it and they were fired because of it so you won't have to go through that anymore." Koda replied with a smile. Scaledon was a bit taken by the news , cautious but still curious about the teens angle or what he was after.

"Why would you do that for me?" scaledon asked

" Well I think anim- I mean sentient creatures should be treated with some conditions of respect and rules even in captivity or prison." Koda remarked, earning a skeptical but somewhat intrigued expression from the monster.

"So now what are they going to do with me?" scaledon remarked

"I don't know really but I'll come and check up every now and then just to see to make sure they aren't treating you too harshly." koda replied

"You're a strange one, you know that." scaledon remarked

"That's what I said." Torax said off from the side again as Aki finally managed to escape him and run up to the large armadillo type monster and zoom around him. At first Koda was a bit worried for her but that eventually died down as scaledon didn't show too much hostility towards it. The group conversed a little more this time mostly speaking in monster so that Aki could understand and the three of them left scaledon in his enclosure to head back home.

Deliberations: Class 1A

Everyone was gathering back into the living room for their group talk sessions, the main topic of conversation was undoubtedly centered around the fact that several criminals were now on the streets as heroes and how they were processing that information, ultimately they decided that there was nothing they could really do about it however Iida warned them to keep on guard around any of these "rated heroes" as they were being called.

"Hey guys, where is koda?" uraraka asked

"He said that he was going to be taking the monsters somewhere with sitch." jiro replied

"I hope everything is ok." mina said

"Given the circumstances I think they should be ok. If they're accepting criminals now it wouldn't be such a leap for them to accept help from monsters. Ribbit." asui remarked

"And in that case maybe things could be different here, monsters and humans could perhaps coexist." tokoyami continued.

"That's a surprisingly optimistic view from the gloomy guy." Kaminari said with a chuckle.

"But it is one we should attempt to achieve while we're here." tsu remarked, in a somewhat annoyed tone before anyone could continuing talking koda had walked into the home, aki already scrambling inside and running along the teens in the living room before coming up to a stop next to mina, the pink girl would spoil her the most out of everyone involved and while the two couldn't normally understand each other they got along well, but what truly surprised everyone one was when koda came around the corner he was accompanied by torax as well. Earning some gasp from some of the audience but the first to speak was none other than the shadowy friend.

"What is that thing doing here?" dark shadow emerged pointing a clawed hand at the cat.

"Hello to you to shadow." torax replied simply earning even more gasps of surprise from the class.

"Woah it can talk now?" Kirishima remarked, and Koda merrily nodded.

"Are you sure you're allowed to keep him around?" jiro asked skeptically

"Yes, Sitch said I can keep him with me for my hero activities and they're even going to create a space for him and Aki to live in but until it's finished they're going to crash with me for the moment." koda remarked

"Well that's nice to hear. I bet the little gal was happy to hear that." Mina replied, rubbing the cub on the head some more. The group all conversed some more koda explaining where he went and what he was doing out so late before everyone decided to call it for the day except for the usual suspects who would train even more through the night, kirishima offered to go train with bakugo but the explosive blonde refused which was expected but he thought it was one of his soft no's like he would usually do but that wasn't the case this time, bakugo glared at him as if to say that he would kill him if he dared tried to follow him this time around which he respected and backed off. This garnered a whole heap of discussion about what was happening with the blonde as no one knew for sure about what bakugo was doing or how he actually got back into the home for the past couple of days along with his greater fatigue than usual. Toru and Mina had made several attempts to gleam on what's happening but that only has led to failure on multiple occasions and them waking up elsewhere. All that was for certain whatever he was doing was to the extreme even for someone like bakugo.

Bakugo stalked the halls of the the hero association, taking calm steady steps in a roundabout way of getting towards his destination making sudden stops around corners and other obstacles just to see if he could hear if he was being followed once satisfied that he wasn't he finally made his way to his objective back to his normal mountainous training area and there he found her sitting down like usual in a meditative state.

"Seems like you flaked out the other day." bakugo said in an annoyed tone. The woman didn't look at him, her eyes remaining close as she responded.

"Apologies for that….something came up the other day." silver chain said simply, her voice as dry as ever noted.

"Before we begin however I have a question to ask." silver chain said, bakugo was a bit hesitant he knew something like this would was going to happen eventually it was a part of their deal after all, over the past couple of days he's been going around and trying to establish an official alibi for him and his classmates in the pretense that people don't start to question inconsistencies in between their stories. Luckily as soon as he said the idea, glasses and ponytail took the rest from there which drew attention away from him and allowed him to go under the radar from questions of why he came up with such an idea in the first place. But as he was trying to recall what they had discussed about their fake story he was completely blindsided by the women's actual question.

"Your group ….the non-killing army..all of you train under one of the S-class heroes correct?" the women said, bakugo was going to merely nod but given the girl's eyes were still closed he had to speak.

"Yeah….why?" bakugo questioned

"The one that trains under flash, what is his name?" silver chain voice said still completely flat.

"Glass- his name is Iida, Ingenium. Are you a fan of flash or something? Want him to get you an autograph?" bakugo said with a slight chuckle but the women finally opened her eyes, those silver eyes staring at him silencing him…if he were more honest with himself he would admit that they were captivating in a way but what really got his attention as he stared at the women in the eyes was the almost silent fury hidden in them but he couldn't really be sure of that, the women was so damn hard for him to read and it didn't make it any easier when she barely showed any emotion normally no matter the situation.

"Quite the opposite in fact." the woman said simply in that similar flat tone of her but something else was there it wasn't the normal flat delivery that she usually had there was something more sinister? Maybe to it? But bakugo couldn't think about it more as the women stood up completely to her full height she was the second tallest girl he's seen since he's got here being around 6ft 5in in height, the women gave him a quick glance over before focusing on his new gauntlets.

"You have received upgrades." the women remarked and bakugo couldn't help but grin

"Yeah, courtesy of the demon cyborg himself. Supposedly I'm fairly stronger now than I was before, almost as strong as he was when he became an S-class. Which means that I'm an S-class." bakugo remarked

"Congratulations." silver chain said simply but that dry voice almost felt like she was mocking him which angered him slightly

"I assume you want to test your new found skills on me to compare." silver ring said simply. Bakugo found it weird that she guessed exactly what he wanted to do but he ignored it for now and continued with an almost diabolical laugh.

"You're goddamn right, I do. I haven't managed to tag you once this whole time, I can't let that stand." bakugo remarked.

"If it will satisfy you, I could allow you to land an attack on me." silver chain replied, making bakugo scowl in anger.

"Don't you even dare, come at me with the best you've got." bakugo said through gritted teeth and silver chains, merely nodding in understanding.

The match began the women didn't move but bakugo was still on guard but even with that he didn't even seen the metal clone coming but he felt the impact on his left cheek as the momentum quickly followed he quickly went sailing he attempted to course correct from slamming into a rocky wall but he was to slow as another clone was already behind him but he didn't mind that as he launched a large explosion directly in its face that it blocked with a shield but he wasn't done he threw multiple of his C4 bombs behind him the clones guard before each exploding a couple of seconds later as he continued to blast towards the real body, two other clones came to her defense bakugo altered his course rising high above before rainign down shots of his AP-auotcannon blast the clones immediately went to work deflecting the blast all around the original body and following him towards the sky.

Bakugo raised his hands just in time to deflect a couple of shuriken's thrown with his gauntlets but was too slow to stop the strike that hit him in the gut causing him to gag, he attempted to counter with an explosive punch to the clones face but that attacked was easily caught by the clone and before he could attack again another clone had arrived and stuck him in the side sending him careening downwards, bakugo wasn't one to be completely out down however as he shot forth a stream of sweat his time bomb attack at the clones and seeing the attack as not a threat they let it wash over them which he smiled at before igniting the stream causing a line of explosions to race forwards engulfing both clones completely in large explosions. He quickly turned back around before using his explosive speed turbo to completely blitz forwards towards the real ninja but before he was intercepted by another one of the girl's clones, bakugo was about to launch another explosion to the clones face but it's hands came up and deflected the blow by redirecting his hands away just before the explosion took place. He didn't know if this will work or not but instead launched both of his hand behind him where the original was an used his stun grenade he didn't know how these clones worked but he assumed that she needed line of sight for it to work which he believed to be impossible given his attack but a solid punch to his gut told him otherwise as he again was sent flying this time directly past the girl real body and slammed directly into a rock embedding himself into the structure. His anger flared as he looked a the girl in front of him still having not moved from her spot she started and looked at him with that passive uninterested look, he quickly blew himself free from the rock dropping to the ground before propping his back against it and pointing both of his gauntlets her way 4x explosive cannon he shouted before two of the large tubes on the bottom of each gauntlet opened up and attack the girl, he found a tiny bit of satisfaction her eyes widen just a bit from there normal look not in surprise but more intrigue but she still didn't move or even guard for that matter and for a moment a flash of worry spiked through bakugo's mind was she just planning to take it? He thought and then the attack landed and after a moment of dust and debris there they were…huh he should have figured really as the dust cleared in front of the girl were the two of them and he assumed the third he can only assume was used in the massive shield they used to block his attack.

"Never take your eyes off you opponent." he heard the woman voice in his ear making the explosive blonde jump and try and quickly turn around just to receive a kick to his gut that sent him into skidding into the clones followed quickly by an blow to his spine that force him to the ground and by the time he could raise his head three blades were at his neck. He could only stare in anger as the original made her way over to the defeated bakugo.

"You have improved but you still have ways to climb." silver chain said simply as all of her clones began to move away and then seemingly merged with her. Bakugo stood up not happy that he again didn't manage to touch her but her comment just drove salt into the wound he struggled to stand up for a moment catching a breath before addressing it.

"How the hell was I supposed to know that you moved?" bakugo remarked with a haggard breath.

"The shield that I created left enough space for you to see my feet, if you were more observant you would have noticed that It wasn't there." silver chain replied simply, earning a roll of the eyes from bakugo and suck of the teeth, with that out of the way the two continued on with their training.

Todoroki was currently undergoing a crisis that monsters affects was more detrimental than he thought still affecting him throughout the day into the knight even when his room was full of heaters and heat pads he still felt cold, so cold… he thought for a moment reminiscing of the night prior and how warm he was….he ultimately decided that he would attempt to get someone like previously he entered the hallway and proceeded down the hall but he stopped short of who he really wanted to go see before knocking on midoirya's door who was one of his closer friends and like the great friend he was he accepted despite the awkwardness of the request.

Despite having midoriya there it just wasn't the same as it was previously while it was better than he was when he was by himself it wasn't like it was with momo, that eternal warmth never came or filled him that completely equalized him so he decided to cut that short, allowing midoriya to go back to his room despite what his friend tried to say he could feel how awkward he was in that predicament and could see the relief he had when he decided to just call it off. He said goodnight to midoriya before taking another glance down the hallway thinking about if he should go ask momo again but after making it to her door and about to knock he thought better of it he didn't want her to go through something like she did this morning, so instead he opted to go outside and just flame bathe for a moment before going back to sleep hopefully it was later enough that by the time his body started to freeze over again it would be time for him to get up anyways. As Todoroki went down the steps he felt weirdly pained about his decisions like he wanted nothing more but to go and knock on the girls door but he resisted that urge he didn't want to be selfish and intrude upon her more than he already did just to satisfy himself, he had to consider her thoughts as well and he doubted she wanted to be cuddled up with him again all night he thought as he opened the front door but was surprised by who he found there.

It was bakugo but he was unconscious and carrying him was just an ambiguous metallic material, he looked on for a moment as the metallic material continued on inside and up the stair presumable to bakugo's room part of him believed that it may be some type of drone that association created but just in case he yelled out a thank you out into open air, he received no reply but continued onwards to what he was planning to do flame bathing for a moment until he felt right and waiting for the metallic substances to exit he home. He attempted to follow its trail but it had become formless and blended into the dead of night. Todoroki quickly went back to sleep before the cold attempted to overtake him again, being the last of his classmates to fall asleep.

Just because it's going to be my birthday I'm going to releasing the next chapter a day earlier, next week on the 7th! if some are wondering why mina scored so high well she scales pretty up there being able to beat up mines in the group training assignment who earlier was shown to be stronger than ojiro beating him in a arm wrestling contest in school breifs novels. ojiro ahead despite that because he did the better against chimera which takes place later on in the endeavor agency arc in comparison to mina versus slice who I deem weaker of the two.
