Chapter 26: End of the Beginning

Harleking31: Well that was easy

Dragon Emperor0: Don't count your chickens, man. We still have a long way to go.

ThermalsniperN7: Ain't that the truth…

NinjaFang1331: Amazing work. I loved this update.

Dragon Emperor0: Thank you. We're quite pleased with it ourselves.

ThermalsniperN7: Yeah. Offing AFO like that felt satisfying.

XxKonekoLoverxX: I only have one problem. all might improve one for all to its current heights in 40 years so izuku in the over 1000 years should have straight up pasted muscular with like .00001 percent of one for all.

Dragon Emperor0: I honestly don't think so. All Might only improved the quirk so well because he used it for over 50 years (Not 40). So I reworked it by basically multiplying All Might's best feats by 20 to equal 1000 years worth of training–Then multiplied that by three to get his current level when he really gets serious.

ThermalsniperN7: And Izuku pancaking Muscular with that power percentage level feels more at home in One Punch Man, not MHA.

Carneyjarred: So is a ochako like kurogiri a high-end nomu?

Dragon Emperor0: No. She was resurrected via a quirk. Completely different scenario.

ThermalsniperN7: Exactly.

Question Dude: Whatever happened to your Godzilla x Bakugan stories?!

Why are they gone?

Dragon Emperor0: They were rebooted because we started reevaluating our writing style and priorities as well as it not being up to our new quality standards. That and we decided to move away from harem and taboo stuff for personal reasons. BUT, there is a reboot of it posted right now. Why don't you check it out?

ThermalsniperN7: Yeah. You can see how far we've come in comparison to before.

Knightmare Lord: Now this was a satisfying finish! Looking forward to what comes next!

Dragon Emperor0: Glad to hear it.

ThermalsniperN7: What he said.

Isaacstormblood1: wait izuku can snatch cancer out of people. he would make a killing as a surgeon

Dragon Emperor0: Ha! Man I wish. Nah, man, his Snatch isn't that precise.

ThermalsniperN7: Hm… Maybe we can make a skit out of it, though…

Isaacstormblood1: random thought what if Ochako had a massive war hammer as a support item that transfers force better than normal objects and to counteract the weight she just uses her quirk to build speed in her swing then deactivates her quirk before impact for maximum power hell she could use the same concept for movement too by slamming the hammer into the ground and propelling herself forward with the force. Basically that gravity hammer from fortnite, but with extra steps

Dragon Emperor0: That… May happen, but I can neither confirm or deny right now due to spoilers.

Floatyy: I get that this is a seven deadly sins what if but I don't think Merlin, Escanor, Diane, and Gowther were introduced. Izuku Baan, Bakugo Meliodas (somehow…), and Taida king. I want to see an awesome team moment you know.

Dragon Emperor0: Somehow? Dude, it's stated outright that he gained Full Counter via prolonged exposure to demonic energy.

ThermalsniperN7: As tempting as it would be to have all seven sins together, there's just not enough candidates for more than two (or three, in Fox Sin's case) in each story at a time. We don't know who would fit the bill for each of the others.


-Metropolitan Police Department-

"The Nomus we captured from the factory are just as unresponsive as the last batch." A Police executive explained as he gave a report regarding the Kamino Ward incident. "They're basically mindless animals, and with the warehouse being destroyed, there's not much data we can collect." He continued.

"And we haven't gotten any worthwhile information from the bar at all?" Another questioned.

"No sir." The man replied.

"We captured most of the nomu but let the perpetrators get away–aside from All for One being taken out of the picture–I'd have to say that this whole thing was a draw." A third stated.

"Don't be stupid." The second man retorted. "The country just lost its Symbol of Peace. All Might's power is gone now, and what's more, his chosen successor has lost his Immortality as well." He added.

"This is what we get for relying too much on one man, and expecting his chosen successor to stay immortal." A fourth commented. "Now people will realize that they can raise hell with minimal effort." He added.

"Our initial profile of Shigaraki was that he was childish and prone to tantrums. But now his thought process has matured–he seems more interested in how he can shape our society." The second man nodded. "And now the League has the best opportunity to come back stronger." He added.

"Which means we need to implement changes." Nodded the group's leader.


(Elsewhere)

"Unfortunately, the embers of One for All have been snuffed out." All Might, or Toshinori Yagi, sighed.

His body was now looking much better. It wasn't like his Muscle form, but now he looked much more like an average man his age–healthier. Heck, even his eyes weren't sunken in anymore.

"Yes, and your so-called successor gave up his one advantage as well." Gran Torino nodded.

"He'd sooner debunk that and call his advantage a curse, Gran Torino." The former No. 1 Hero told his mentor. "Regardless, I can't just sit around and do nothing." He stated.

"You're referring to Tomura Shigaraki, Shimura's grandson, correct?" Gran Torino questioned.

"All we have is All for One's own words. Not much to go on." Tsukaochi mused. "But… It did make me start thinking." He continued as he pulled out a file. "Tenko Shimura, previously thought quirkless at age five, was considered the prime suspect in the mass slaughter of his family when he suddenly manifested a quirk that the police decided to call Decay for simplicity's sake." He began. "Apparently he grew up in an abusive household and there are some that think the kid killed his family on purpose in retribution–before disappearing when the police tried to put him in foster care." He added.

"Which is when All for One found him and took him under his wing." The blonde man deduced.

"That's the connection I'm making." The police officer nodded.

"It's likely the fact that we were forbidden by Shimura from keeping in contact with her family after her husband was killed." The old man sighed. "A plan that backfired, it would seem." He mused.

"I can't help but feel like I should do–something." Toshinori hissed, utterly dejected.

"You're taking too much of the blame, Toshinori. It's just as much my fault as well–don't be greedy." His mentor told him, sighing. "Honestly, that kid of yours is starting to rub off on you–and not in a good way." He added.


(Elsewhere)

Izuku sighed as he fell onto his bed after he and the others got Katsuki to safety–completely exhausted. The forfeiture of his immortality in exchange for Ochako's life mixed with the rescue and his own unfortunate involvement in fighting All for One had taken a toll on his mind and body, but this was nothing new, generally.

It did pay off, however, since All for One was dead.

He ended up sleeping into the late evening–when he got a phone call from All Might right as he was about to be out like a log.

Snapping awake, the Sin of Greed quickly threw on a coat and bolted out of his house–not wanting to keep his beloved mentor waiting.

"All Might!" He exclaimed as he rushed towards the man, glad to see that he was okay–beyond relieved, actually.

The two immediately ended up hugging each other, before the blonde looked like he was about to punch the boy.

"Texas–." He started to yell before Izuku held up his hand.

"If you're going to punch me, you might as well save your energy. By this point I probably won't even feel it." The Fox Sin stated. "Plus, even if I did, I'd just end up liking it. So it wouldn't serve a purpose." He added.

"... Fuck." The blonde cursed, realizing he was right as he lowered his fists. "But that's besides the point. What the hell were you thinking, fighting All for One like you did back there?!" He questioned in frustration.

"Wasn't it you who told me that meddling when you're not supposed to is the essence of being a hero?" Izuku questioned, arms folded. "Or are you just as much a hypocrite as Mr. Aizawa?" He added, unimpressed.

There were a few beats of silence before Toshinori sighed.

"I'm going nowhere fast with this conversation, aren't I?" He asked in defeat, knowing this argument wasn't his.

"Basically." The Fox Sin nodded with a shrug. "Look, I know I did a lot of shit I shouldn't have done, but the results are favorable in a few cases. Chief among them is All for One's death. Japan and the world can rest easy knowing that the murderous old bastard is dead." He stated.

"That is certainly true." All Might nodded. "But in the process, you also gave up your immortality. You can't fight as flippantly anymore." He stated.

"My body's durable to the point where I can handle the equivalent of your best without so much as a scratch. I think I'm fine." His student retorted.

"Being mortal doesn't matter to you does it?" The man noted.

"Not in the slightest." The boy nodded.

"Well, you did say it best: Immortality is a curse if you have to spend eternity alone." Toshinori mused. "But I do urge you to be careful still, since you'll be liable to have a target on your back when Tomura Shigaraki figures out you're mortal." He advised.

"Feh." The Fox Sin huffed. "Let him come. I'll give him a quick and painless death." He added, flexing his hand.


(The Next Day)

Later on, in Nezu's office…

"Thank you, All Might. You've saved many people over the years, even if it cost you your power." The chimera told the former hero. "As a citizen, a hero and the principal I cannot express how grateful we all are to you. However, given recent events, many people have expressed that you shouldn't continue as a teacher at UA." He continued. "There are some who even believe that our troubles began when you started working here. They worry the children will be caught in the crossfire, and that you can't protect them." He pointed out.

"And yet some of the children have the mettle to come out of each past scenario alive, at least." The blonde stated, recalling how Izuku held his own against All for One.

"It is a delicate situation. Nevertheless I believe I may know a way to address the issues the public has expressed." The principal nodded. "So, we're going to implement something I've had in mind for a while." He added.

"What would that be, exactly?" Aizawa questioned.

He got his answer in the form of Nezu presenting him with a notice.

"This." The chimera principle replied. "I'm counting on all of you to explain this to the children's families." He told them.


(Later)

"I dunno, sounds pretty outta tune to me." Kyoka Jiro's father stated as All Might and Aizawa visited their house. "I know you guys don't wanna keep talking about what happened, but moving the kids into dorms doesn't change the fact that my daughter was injured." He added.

"That's part of why the dorm system is being set up: To keep this from happening again." Aizawa explained.

"It does seem rather cruel to keep her from her friends." Mrs. Jiro noted.

"Quite right, I can already think of several students who would miss her dearly." The former No. 1 hero nodded. "We're hoping you'll allow us to continue to teach Young Kyoka, we believe that we can still make her into the best hero she can be." He told the two.

"Dad, you better not say no." The punk girl told her father as she entered the room.

"Aw come on, Jiro, I'm trying to be strict and stuff!" Her father whined.

"So uncool." The girl sighed.


(Later)

Next were the Urarakas, and rather cheerfully, Ochako was back to her old self again, which made her teachers smile as the girl had been through a lot.

"It is nice of you to stop by." The family patriarch told them.

"And if you're wondering about our views on the dorms, we're willing to let Taida and Ochako go." The Matriarch nodded. "You've kept our children safe even under the most harrowing of circumstances. So we see no reason not to trust you." She added.

"Thank you both for understanding." Aizawa nodded.

"But onto a different topic… How's Izuku doing?" The twin's dad questioned, looking at All Might.

"I'm not really sure, since we haven't visited him yet." The underground hero replied with a small shrug.

"Young Midoriya's been… Rather stoic about the whole ordeal, to tell the truth." All Might explained. "But I can say one thing for certain: He doesn't regret exchanging his immortality for Young Ochako's life. Not one bit." He added.

"That is very much like him." Mrs Uraraka smiled. "He'll give up anything for Ochako's life, even his greatest advantage." She added.

"I still think that boy's nothing but trouble." Her husband sighed. "It's part of the reason why I was reluctant to say yes, because I knew just how much the self proclaimed Sin of Greed would be all over our little girl." He nodded. "... But I suppose it can't be helped." He admitted.

"Taida'll keep an eye on them, dear. Don't worry." His wife chuckled.

"Young Midoriya at least cares about your daughter in his own way." The former No. 1 mused.

"That much has been obvious from day one." Aizawa nodded.


(Later)

"Guess I owe you a drink after this." Aizawa noted as they headed to the next house.

"I'm not really much of a drinker." Toshinori waved off as he looked at the list for who came next. 'Okay, this one might be our most difficult family yet. We have to at least try.' He thought.

As if the universe were trying to prove him right…

"You kidding?! Hell yeah get this kid in a dorm room!" Mitsuki Bakugo, who was currently two months pregnant, exclaimed–smacking her son on the head.

"Agh! You hag!" The Sin of Wrath growled. "Hit me again and I'll kill you!" He snarled.

'What is this family dynamic?' All Might wondered.

"Calm down, you two. No need to make a scene with guests." Masaru told the two.

"Shut it you clown!" The pomeranian barked.

"Yeah, mind your own business! Oh don't you even think about using your quirk, Katsuki!" Mitsuki snapped.

"Bit me!" Katsuki snapped back.

"So I take it that you've decided to let him stay?" Aizawa questioned.

"Oh, the dorm? Actually, we're grateful." The blonde MILF nodded.

"Really? I didn't expect you to consider letting your son continue his hero studies after what happened." The blonde man blinked in surprise.

"You guys managed to get him back, and it's clear he's turning out a lot better than what he used to with how you're teaching him. So, we know he's a pain, but please keep him on the right track." The woman replied.

Katsuki was silent, but had an irritated look on his face.

"Katsuki's been spoiled for as long as he can remember because of his stupid-awesome quirk, whether he deserves it or not." Mitsuki continued. "He's also seriously determined and does his best at everything he tries. We trust you to do what you can for him." She added, bowing along with her husband… While forcing her son to do the same.

"Looks like I owe you a drink for this one." All Might whispered with a smile.


(Later)

"Guess that leaves Midoriya and a few others. His apartment is close by." Aizawa noted as they stepped outside.

"Want me to go and talk to Young Midoriya's mother alone so you can handle the others?" The former hero asked.

"Let's split up. You can handle Midoriya." Aizawa nodded.

As the No. 1 hero was about to head to Izuku's house, Katsuki approached him.

"All Might." The blonde said as he walked outside.

"Yes?" The man questioned.

"I gotta ask, what is Deku to you?" He questioned.

"... He's a student of mine, like you are." The man replied after choosing his words carefully.

"Uh huh…" The boy uttered, not sounding satisfied. 'Something is definitely up…' He thought, feeling a little suspicious.


(Later)

Izuku let out a cavernous yawn as he walked towards the front door of his and Inko's apartment–the sound of knocking from the other side.

"Be right there!" The boy called as he walked towards the door–only to open it and see All Might standing there. "All Might! What, what're you doing here?" He questioned, not expecting his mentor to stop by. Inko heard his words and came to see what was up, feeling just as surprised as her son.

"Yeah. Mind if I come in?" The retired hero asked.

"Oh, yes! Come on in!" Inko nodded with a blink as she invited the former Symbol of Peace into her home. "This is so intense!" She muttered to her tall son.

"Just play it cool, mom." Izuku told her.

As the three sat down, All Might got straight to the point. "So I'm sure you probably already know why I'm here. The letter we sent you?" He began.

"I have read it, and…" Inko nodded before trailing off as her hands shook. "I must refuse." She said, causing Izuku to snap his head at her.

"What?!" He uttered with wide eyes. Was this some kind of joke? It wasn't funny, if it was.

"I know we talked about it earlier, but I've thought about it since then." Inko told him.

"And this is what you do?! What are you thinking?!" The Fox Sin questioned, feeling indignant.

"That I changed my mind!" The woman exclaimed back, her eyes tightly shut. "Ever since Izuku was a little kid, he's admired you. Even after his accident, he never stopped wanting to be a hero." She stated. "But ever since joining UA, my child has been getting hurt over and over." She continued. "And haven't you heard? He isn't immortal anymore–which made it all the more terrifying when I saw him fighting that man on TV–however brief it was." She added

"I've heard, but that hasn't stopped him from his journey to become a hero." Toshinori nodded, knowing that the loss of immortality did nothing to stop Izuku.

"It also makes me fear for his safety!" The Midoriya matriarch exclaimed. "Before all this, I knew that my baby would just shrug anything off. Now? Now I'm scared he won't survive whatever fight he's caught in next!" She continued.

"Mom." Izuku hissed in a disturbingly calm tone, like he was trying to hold himself back. "I'm at the point where I don't need my immortality. I survived the depths of purgatory, I'm beyond human level at this point." He told her.

"And that's supposed to assure me?! Izuku, you–" Inko started to say before she was cut off.

"Mom, I get that you're worried about me, but the fact that you refuse to let me go back to UA over past events is an insult! Do you have any faith in my abilities?!" The ex-immortal barked angrily. Wandle, who was watching off to the side, stayed silent.

"Of course I do, Izuku–I always have! But–as your mother it's my job to–." She pleaded with him until he suddenly got up.

"Save it." He told her, storming off.

"... Ya really should've considered how he'd react." The Purgatory bird commented, which only made Inko give him a look that told him to shut up.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, perhaps I should go speak with him–?" The former Symbol of Peace said as he got up, only for Izuku to come back through the door, a piece of paper in hand.

"Mom, take a good, long look at this letter. You too, All Might." The Sin of Greed told his mother and mentor as he showed them what turned out to be a letter. "This was written to me by a kid named Kota, a boy who hated quirks. I saved his life." He added. "This made me feel like a hero, and proved to me that I was on the right track to making my life one worth living." He continued. "Even if it isn't UA, I'll check out other hero courses. I refuse to give up now." He finished.

Inko looked at the letter, then at her son, imagining the boy helping a child who so desperately needed someone–like he had all those years ago.

All Might, meanwhile, could feel his chest swell with pride at what his pupil was saying. The scene before him reminding him of days long passed–of when he was with hid master, as a boy.

Standing up, the man went into his muscle form and knelt down in front of Inko, humbling himself to her.

"I'm afraid I haven't been up front, ma'am. Please allow me to try again." He told her. "I believe that young Izuku is the right person to succeed me. That is to say–he is my choice to be the world's next Symbol of Peace." He elaborated.

"Was this because of the idea of an immortal Symbol of Peace?" Inko questioned with narrowed eyes.

All Might was silent for a moment as he took a breath. "No ma'am, the reason is far more personal." The man explained, looking up at her. "You see, when I first met young Izuku, I spoke with him after discovering his powers. And I saw a boy who had lost much like I had–when I lost my master, my predecessor." He continued. "I felt a connection with him, and in truth–that bond only continued to grow as we trained together." He added. "I'm sorry. Here I was being his hero when I should have been his teacher. So, allow me to apologize as a hero who once held the title."

He then reverted to his true form before continuing. "And allow me to apologize as a UA teacher." He told the woman. "I implore you to forgive my past weakness. We are trying to protect our students the best we can. It's why we have the dorms now. Look not at the current UA, but towards the future." He continued. "Will you allow me to continue on to teach young Izuku? I promise that we will go beyond, I will lift him up." He added.

Inko was silent through the man's mini speech.

"And I will raise and protect your son as if he was my own child–." He declared. "Even if it costs me my life!" He concluded resolutely, conviction thick in his voice.

"... I've heard enough." Inko sighed. "Izuku, if you want to go back to UA, then you need to promise me that you'll be beyond careful. I can't bear the thought of losing you if you forget you're not immortal at some point." She told her son.

"I won't, Mom." Izuku told her, hugging her. "After all, I still have something to live for, remember? Ochako is still alive." He told her.

"I still find it noble how you gave up immortality in exchange for her." Inko sighed with a smile as she recalled that particular talk. Then she turned to Toshinori. "And as for you, All Might, don't give your life up. I don't want you to cause Izuku unintentional grief." She told him. "He needs you to teach him, raise him. If you can promise me that, then he can return to UA." She added.

"I promise. You have my word." The former Symbol of Peace told her, bowing his head.


(Later)

"You have a really good mother, young Midoriya." Toshinori noted as he and his student stood outside.

"Yeah. She's been one of the best moms in Japan as far as I've lived." Izuku nodded as he released a breath.

"Ya know, she reminds me of my predecessor, Nana Shimura." The former Symbol of Peace mused.

"Really?" The Fox Sin questioned.

"Yeah, she looks remarkably similar to her, and in many ways, is just like my master." All Might smiled. "You could honestly mistake them for relatives." He added.

"... Mom never did say anything about my grandparents…" Izuku mused thoughtfully.

"What're you thinking, young Midoriya?" His mentor asked.

"That Nana Shimura might actually be in my family tree…" The Fox Sin trailed off before shrugging. "But it could just as easily be a coincidence. Still, it could be worth exploring." He mused.

"True." All Might nodded.


(Timeskip)

A week later, Class 1-A all stood within the grounds of the new Heights Alliance dormitories–constructed in just a day with the help of the Urarakas expediting the process–where Aizawa was waiting for them.

"Given everything that's happened, I'm glad that Class A is back together." The erasure hero stated.

"Yeah. It's great to be back together again." Kirishima nodded.

"So we all got the go ahead to move into the dorms." Sero noted.

"It took a lot of convincing from my parents." Hagakure sighed.

"Same." Jiro nodded.

"Makes sense, you did get the full brunt of the gas attack." Ojiro pointed out.

"I'm glad to see the teachers are back, I was afraid you wouldn't be allowed." Tsu mused. "The press seemed pretty upset with you." She added.

"That being said, however…" Aizawa trailed off as he leveled his class with a serious gaze. "Midoriya, Kirishima, Iida, Taida, Todoroki, Yaoyorozu. You six broke the rules and went to rescue Bakugo that night." He continued, getting nervous reactions from everyone else. "The rest of you I assume did know about this but chose to say nothing. In doing so, you've lost the trust of the faculty. You have a lot to do to gain back that trust." He told them.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Izuku questioned, stepping forward.

"It means that–had it not been for All Might's retirement, I would have expelled each and every one of you." The man stated, causing a vein to bulge in the former immortal's head.

"Bull-shit! You'd seriously do that and put society at risk?!" He questioned with a bark, causing Aizawa to look at him. "Sensei, you know damn well you can't expel us! Not because I'm a panicking teen, no. It's because expelling an entire class– one of which being someone who trained in Purgatory for 1000 years– is a major detriment to the safety of the public! Are you really willing to take that risk because of recent events?!" He questioned, glaring right into the underground hero's eyes.

"Rules are rules, Midoriya. That's just how things are." The man retorted.

"If All for One had defeated All Might due to us not interfering, the rules wouldn't have been worth jack shit." Izuku stated. "They kidnapped Kacchan to bait All Might out to both weaken society's trust in heroes and kill the symbol of peace in one go. And if the others and I hadn't gotten in the way when we did–they: Would. Have. Succeeded!" The boy added.

"He's right! Is that really what you want, sensei? For society to be weakened because rules held us back?" Taida questioned.

"Meddling when you don't technically have to is the essence of being a hero." Shoto nodded, arms crossed. "All Might said that to Midoriya once. Seems he's right." He added.

"And besides." The Sin of Greed said as he got between his classmates and their teacher. "If you wanna expel someone, expel me. If you wanna blame someone. Blame me." He told the hero. "I was the one who convinced the others to go. I was the one who helped them get to the Nomu factory by talking Yaoyorozu into helping us. I was the one who came up with our rescue plan. And ultimately–I was the one who entered combat to help All Might." He added. "So, let the others off the hook, kick me out if that's what ya gotta do." He concluded.

"I don't think so." The Erasure Hero replied, causing Izuku to blink. "I know you well at this point, Midoriya. While it is noble, don't take blame that isn't fully yours." He stated. "And if all of you want to earn back the trust of the faculty, you all must follow the rules and act as model students." He told his class. "That's all." He finished in a more casual tone, dispelling the tense atmosphere.

Everyone seemed to be in a really dower mood after that, at least until Katsuki suddenly grabbed Kaminari by the shirt and dragged him around the corner–and proceeded to make him short circuit.

"PFFT! You hopeless moron!" Jiro snorted as the electric blonde acted like a loon, bringing some humor to lighten the mood.

"Oh please, you're just saying that cuz you're totally into him." The Fox Sin chortled.

"Wha–!" No I'm not!" The punk rock girl denied with a blush.

"Denial is the first stage to enlightenment, they say." Taida teased.

Meanwhile, Katsuki was giving some money to Kirishima.

"Here. This'll replace what you spent." He told the redhead.

"Whoa did you shake him down for cash?!" The redhead questioned with wide eyes.

"No! This is my money, ya idiot!" The blonde corrected. "Now our debts are squared. Kaminari! Show 'em your dumb side!" He called as he walked away.

The currently dumb blonde did just that, causing everyone to laugh.

"Sorry guys, I know this won't make up for it, but let's all go out to eat tonight on me!" Kirishima told the others, getting a chorus of cheers in response.


(Later)

It was then that everyone entered the dorms together.

"Wow, look at all this!" Sero exclaimed as he looked at the common room.

"There's even a courtyard!" Taida exclaimed.

"So spacious and new!" Mina added.

"I'm living in a mansion!" Ochako uttered as she suddenly passed out of pure shock.

"Uraraka!" Iida gasped.

"She'll be fine." Taida waved off when he saw a few of the others worrying.

"Your rooms are separated by floor, four boys and two girls. Living accommodations should be suitable. In addition to your belongings you have the basics of furniture and such." Aizawa told them. "I'll leave you to get unpacked." He added.

"Thank you." The kids nodded.


(Later)

"Man, I'm so beat!" Kirishima sighed as he fell back on the couch after a long day of unpacking.

"You and me both!" Sero nodded.

"Feels good, right?" Izuku smirked as he flipped through his soda collection book.

"I know we could've died, but it's kind of cool to be living here!" Kaminari grinned.

"What do we do now, though?" Sato wondered, getting shrugs from the rest of the boys.

"Hiya boys! Whatcha doin'?" Mina questioned as she and the rest of the girls approached them.

"Just relaxing after unpacking." Izuku stated.

"It was pretty taxing." The pink girl admitted in response. "But that aside, me and the girls talked a bit and we came up with the best idea." She continued with a smile.

"We decided to have a contest to see who has the best dorm." Toru added, causing most of the kids to lock up.

"Oh hell no." Izuku said, closing his book.

"What, scared of people seeing your room, Midoriya?" Mina teased.

"No, I'm not. If I was, I wouldn't have plans to let Ochako look at it at some point." The Fox Sin huffed in reply.

"Well in that case, you might as well let us look." The acid user grinned as she walked up to the ex-immortal's dorm door.

"... Fine. But if you touch anything, I'm spankin' the lot of you!" The Fox Sin stated as he let the class enter his room.

This choice of words caused both the girls and the guys to lock up. As they had both been on the receiving end of a Fox Sin beat down before–and it was not an experience either group wished to repeat.

Shaking that off, they looked around Izuku's room and were amazed by what they found. There was plenty of All Might merchandise (including a few statues) along with a nice amount of Arthurian merchandise like a few statuettes, for example.

"All Might everywhere! You're such a fan boy!" Mina chuckled.

"Yeah, definitely should've expected this." Taida nodded.

"Hey, this Arthurian stuff looks pretty sweet!" Kirishima grinned as he looked at a statuette of Arthur Pendragon.

"Hey Midoriya, stop by my room whenever you want after this is over. I think I have some labels for that collection of yours." Jiro told the Sin of Greed.

"Sweet, will do." Izuku grinned, which got him a jealous glare from Kaminari.

In case you haven't guessed, Kaminari had developed a not so secret crush on Jiro ever since the Training Camp–all the guys knew–as did the majority of the girls.


-Taida's room-

"I don't particularly care what you guys think of my room, honestly." The Grizzly Sin shrugged nonchalantly as he opened the door to his room.

As they entered, they saw a room that was pretty plainly decorated, with the only real noticeable big ticket items being a TV, XBox and PS, a bean bag chair fashioned to look like Chastiefol's pillow form, a large fake tree that was seemingly fashioned in the visage of Yggdrasil with a hammock and similarly patterned blanket to the chair–Chastiefol was also there in its pillow form.

He also had plants as well, ones from home.

"This is exactly what I expected from you, King." Izuku commented with a nod.

"This is pretty plain, but the game consoles are great to have on hand." Toru commented.

"Hey, maybe we can have a few matches, eh?" Kaminari proposed with a grin. "Whaddya play?" He asked.

"Looter shooters, RPGs, Rogue-lites, stuff like that." The boy yawned nonchalantly.

"Same." Izuku shrugged.


-Tokoyami's room-

"Hmph, no way." The bird huffed as he blocked their way, coolly leaning against the door.

The girls, however, would not take now for an answer and pushed him out of the way before heading inside. What greeted them was all manner of gothic and occult items, and his room was as dark as the night.

"Whoa! So creepy!" Mina and Toru exclaimed as they looked around.

"You fiends!" Tokoyami shuddered, his body shaking with fury.

"Whoa, hey I had a keychain like this when I was in Middle school!" Kirishima noted, holding up a rather Emo looking keychain.

"Please leave." The bird boy told them.

"Why am I not surprised that you have Dark Souls all over the place…?" Izuku mused as he looked at said things, including a replica of the iconic twisted sword and the game being on pause on a TV in the room.

"Considering how much torture that game puts players through, that fits Tokoyami to a T." Sero remarked.


-Aoyama's room-

"Behold! Aren't you dazzled!" The French blonde exclaimed as everyone (tried) to look around at Aoyama's very sparkly room.

"I feel like I'm about to go blind." Izuku groaned, covering his eyes.

"Gah, same!" Taida hissed as he shielded his own eyes.

"Okay, let's move on before we actually lose our vision!" Mina exclaimed.


-Ojiro's room-

Plain. That was all you needed to describe Ojiro's room.

"Is this really all you have?" Mina blinked.

"Please tell me you just haven't unpacked yet." Toru groaned in disbelief.

"Can we just move on…" The tailed teen sweatdropped.


-Iida's room-

"Whoa, it looks like a library in here." Ochako noted as she looked around the many bookshelves the class rep had.

"That's the class rep for you." Mina nodded.

"You'll find nothing odd in here." Iida told them.

"You even have spare glasses!" The gravity girl laughed in amusement.

"Of course I do!" The speedster exclaimed. "I expect them all to be destroyed during training!" He added.

"Pretty sure we train so that we don't break stuff, Iida." King sweat dropped.

"Yeah, having spares is good and all, but it defeats the purpose of the training." Izuku added in agreement.


-Kaminari's room-

The electro kid's room was one that had a pretty easy theme to describe: Trendy, following the latest fads, with a slight bit of Hot Topic gaudiness.

"Really?" The girls questioned.

"This is the part of the store I'd avoid." Jiro remarked.

"What?! It's perfect!" The blonde exclaimed defensively.

"Kaminari, you spend way too much time at Hot Topic." Izuku stated.

"This coming from the guy who dresses in all leather?" Katsuki retorted.

"At least I make that leather look awesome." The Fox Sin shrugged.


-Koda's Room-

"He has a rabbit!" The girls exclaimed as they entered the plainly decorated room of Koda.

"No fair, he's buying the judges' love!" Taida complained.

"It is a nice rabbit, though." The Sin of Greed shrugged with a smile.


(Later)

"Man, This sucks!" Kaminari groaned. "I feel so judged right now." He added.

"What a coincidence, I don't feel great." Ojiro nodded.

"Same here." Tokoyami grumbled.

"Eh. I don't particularly care." Izuku shrugged.

"Seems like to me that the girls should be held to the same standards." Katsuki stated, rolling his eyes.

"Yep." King nodded.

Right at that moment…

"Come on, guys! We're not done yet!" Mina exclaimed as she came up to them.


-Kirishima's room-

"I don't really expect you guys to get what I'm going for…" The redhead trailed off as he opened his door. Inside was what looked like a mancave, even having a punching bag. "A den of manliness!" He grinned.

"Nice." Izuku grinned as he looked around in appreciation.

"If I found out my boyfriend had a room like this, I'd dump him." Toru remarked, Mina nodding in agreement.

"Wow, Toru, bit harsh don'tcha think?" King questioned.


Shoji's room-

"You'll find nothing weird in here." The masked teen told them as he opened his door.

The inside of his room looked rather minimal since there was barely anything to speak of.

"Uh, more like nothing at all, man." Mina noted.

"Huh. Didn't peg you to be a minimalist." Izuku commented with a blink.

"Suits you, though." Shoto nodded.

"I just never understood why people would fill their room with junk." Shoji shrugged.


-Bakugo's room-

"Just so you know, you touch anything, you die." The pomeranian warned.

"Aw, go suck air through a reed!" King heckled as he opened the door.

Inside was… Probably a lot of things that suited him. There were fake grenades, some weights, a drum set, a stereo, TV, some rock climbing gear… And apparently, an entire cooler of limited edition hot sauces and spicy foods.

"You play drums?" Kirishima blinked, not expecting Katsuki to be a drummer.

"Took lessons as a kid." The blonde replied, rolling his eyes.

"That's pretty cool." Jiro nodded.


(Later)

"Next is Sero!" Ochako cheered.

"Wait, we're really doing everybody's?" The tape boy questioned.

"Apparently." Kirishima shrugged in reply.


-Sero's room-

Upon entering, no one expected the Asian decor the were greeted with

"This is so exotic!" Mina exclaimed in amazement.

"And lovely!" Ochako added in glee.

"I didn't think you'd be into this kind of thing." Jiro commented with an impressed look on her face.

"Yeah, same here." The Fox Sin nodded in agreement.

"Hehehe, that's me. Always the wild card." Sero chuckled.

"Next is Todoroki, right?" Toru questioned.

"Yep." Mina nodded.


-Shoto's room-

'This is it…' Momo thought with a gulp. 'The most capable student in our class.' Momo thought.

'The most handsome guy in school!' Mina added.

'A chance to glance at his private life, how exciting!' Toru gushed.

Upon entering…

"SO JAPANESE!" Everyone yelled in shock.

It was true. The two toned teen's room looked like a traditional Japanese bedroom, even having a matching window.

"It was even built differently!" Kaminari gasped.

"We have these kind of mats at home. It's much more comfortable than hardwood." The two toned boy noted.

"This isn't your house!" Kaminari exclaimed.

"It's only been a day! How'd you remodel this so fast?!" King questioned in shock.

"With hard work." Shoto replied simply.

"You are a beast…" The human Pikachu uttered with wide eyes.


(Later)

"And the last of the boys is…?" Mina hummed.

"... Me." Sato nodded.

"Ah yes, the class pastry chef." Izuku chuckled.

"At least he's probably better at cooking than Bakugo…" King mused, his now much larger wing fluttering.

"OI!" The explosive boy snapped indignantly.

"Don't think we forgot about how spicy you made the food back at camp…" Mina told him with narrowed eyes.

She did not forget how her mouth burned that day…

"I didn't even use that much…" The blonde huffed as they entered Sato's room, which was pretty plainly decorated.

Though there was a small kitchen.

"Hm, this looks pretty plain, really." Sero commented.

"Yeah, it doesn't look like much." Kirishima nodded.

"Anything would after Todoroki's room." King noted.

"Something smells good, though." Ojiro noted, which made Sato widen his eyes.

"Aw crap! I finished packing up really early, so I started baking a chiffon cake." He explained. "It hasn't been iced yet, but… you guys want some?" He asked.

"Sure, why not?" Izuku shrugged. He could use something sweet after what happened.

"Yeah!" All the girls exclaimed.

"Honestly, we should've expected this." Taida stated.

"Yep." Kaminari sighed.


(Later)

"Alright, let's keep moving!" Toru cheered as they went to the second floor.

"Wait, we're doing our rooms too?" Jiro questioned. "It's getting pretty late…" She gulped.

"Come on, Jiro! Live a little!" Mina told her.

"Who's up first for the girls, anyway?" Izuku asked.

"… Me." Jiro sighed, tapping her earplugs together nervously. "This is so embarrassing!" She groaned.


(Later)

-Jiro's room-

Jiro's room looked like a musician's home, and had a black and red checkerboard pattern on the floor, walls and even the ceiling. There were also several instruments including a keyboard and a guitar.

"Whoa! You've got so many instruments!" Kaminari exclaimed in surprise.

"Yeah, cuz Jiro's totally punk rock!" Toru nodded.

"Can you play all of these?" Ochako questioned.

"Sort of." The punk rock girl replied, poking her jacks together like they were her fingers.

"Hey, mind if I try out one of these guitars? I've been meaning to really try cutting loose at least once." Izuku requested.

"Sure, just don't break it." Jiro nodded.

Kaminari, meanwhile, just stared in awe at all of the instruments and caught sight of a picture of a tiny Jiro playing a guitar with her parents–and upon seeing it–his face immediately burned red.

'So cute…' He thought. "Hey, uh, Jiro?" The human pikachu said, causing the girl to look at him.

"What's up, Kaminari?" She asked as they left her room.

"I was wondering if I could possibly, I dunno, get some music lessons from you some time." He told her.

"Uh, sure. Yeah, no problem." The Earphone jack girl nodded.

"Great." The blonde smiled with a cute smile, causing Jiro to blush.

"Hm… Since we're here, you wanna give me those labels now?" Izuku interjected with a hum.

"Oh, right. Sure." The punk girl blinked before getting some soda labels from her desk. "Do you have any of these yet?" She asked, holding out two labels for Snipe's Grape and All Might's Strawberry.

"Let me check…" The Fox Sin trailed off as he quickly checked his collection. "... I do not have either. Talk about good luck." He whistled as he took the labels and put them in their places.


-Toru's room-

"Next it's my turn!" Toru exclaimed, hopping up. "Whaddya think?" She asked as they reached the room.

What they were greeted with was probably one of the girliest looking rooms they'd seen, given the amount of cute things that were present.

"Now this is girly." Kaminari chuckled as he looked around. "So pink." He mused.

"I'm kinda surprised you have no Shinobi gear. With your quirk, it would've fit you to a T." King remarked.

"He has a point." Sero nodded in acknowledgement.

"I agree. You seem like someone who'd fit the bill as a Kunoichi, Hagakure." Izuku pitched in with a nod of his own.

"You sure it's okay for us to be doing this? It feels dirty being in a girl's room like this. It's their private space." Ojiro pointed out.

"Forbidden gardens…" Tokoyami nodded.

"We can do mine next!" Mina grinned.


-Mina's Room-

"Ta-da! Isn't it super cute?" She cheered.

A lot of her room's furniture was black and pink animal print. From her comforter to her dresser and even the overhead lamp's covering. This definitely fits Mina to a T.

"Now this I should've seen coming." Taida chuckled.

"Yeah. This is definitely a room for her." Katsuki nodded with his own chuckle.


(Later)

-Ochako's Room-

Ochako's room was pretty empty, which told everyone that she was a minimalist only having a TV, the requisite bed, desk, a star gazing poster, a Thirteen figurine, a fan, and a cactus.

"Nice to see a fellow minimalist." Shoji nodded in appreciation.

"Uh… Th-Thanks." The brunette uttered with an embarrassed look on her face.

"Not by choice." Izuku pointed out. "Like I said, poorer than poor. Ochako and King kinda needed to be extremely frugal." He added, before turning a sharp look at her best friend. "Even living off of just mochi without any other meals. Even if it's not healthy." He added.

"I can definitely help fix that." Sato stated, more than happy to put his cooking skills to good use.

"Heh, ya know what? Me too." Katsuki nodded. "I'll cook you some food that'll have you so hot, your clothes'll melt off!" He laughed.

"Why do I feel scared of that…?" Ochako gulped.

"Next is Tsu." King noted.

"Say, where is Tsu, anyway?" Sero questioned.

"Oh, she said she's not feeling too good. She already went to her room to get some rest." Mina replied.

"Oh." King sighed.

"Bummer." Izuku nodded.

Unknown to them, Tsu was watching them from her partly open door before she closed it.


(Later)

"Last one left is Yaoyorozu." Sero noted.

"I wonder what kind of room she's got." Kirishima mused.

"Before we head in, I want to tell you all that I miscalculated a few things." The creation girl told them before opening her room… And everyone immediately got an idea of how rich she was.

Seriously, her bed took up a majority of the room!

"What the heck?! You can't even walk in here!" Kaminari exclaimed upon seeing how cramped it looked.

"The bed is huge!" Kirishima exclaimed with comically wide eyes.

"All of this came from my home. I thought I'd have more room for it, but like I said, I miscalculated." Momo said sheepishly

"I keep forgetting how rich she is…" The class mused in unison.


(Later)

"Alright, the votes are tallied, let's see who won." Mina smiled. "Remember, you can't pick yourselves, guys." She added.

Then everyone started putting down their votes. After literally minutes, they were counted and the outcome was decided.

"And with a total of six votes is… Rikido Sato!" The pink girl exclaimed, causing the boy to gasp in surprise. "By the way, all the girls voted for you." She added.

"Oh come on!" Kaminari exclaimed in exasperation.

"Of course the baker gets the win." Kirishima sighed.

"*Yawn* Well, I think it's about time we hit the hay." Izuku yawned cavernously.

"Yeah, is it over? Can I sleep now?" Shoto sighed.

"Yes and since you had cake, don't forget to brush your teeth." Iida told him.

"Thanks for sticking it out, Sho." Izuku smiled.

"Actually… There's something that we need to say." Ochako began with a heavy sigh. "Izuku, Todoroki, Taida, Kirishima, Iida, Yaoyorozu, you have a sec?" She asked.

"What's up?" The redhead asked.

The brunette simply gestured for them to follow her outside, where Tsu waited for them.

"What's Tsu doing here?" Izuku questioned, not particularly enthused about seeing the frog girl, as he was still pissed off at her for calling his pragmatic plan to save Katsuki as 'acting like villains'.

The Sin of Greed was definitely one to hold a grudge.

"She has something she needs to share with you." Ochako told him in reply.

"You guys know that I'm pretty straightforward and always say what's on my mind. But sometimes I'm at a loss." Tsu began. "You remember what I said? About the rescue." She questioned.

"Yeah. Still ticks me off when I think about it." Izuku nodded, getting a smack in the back of the head from Iida. "OW!" He yelped.

"My heart was hurting. When I said that, and I knew what I said must've upset you–I thought I was able to stop you, but then you brought up the threat All Might was up against." The frog girl continued, tears welling up in her eyes. "I didn't know what you guys did until I saw you on the news–It turns out I was worthless, a complete failure. And suddenly I had no idea what to say. I didn't think that I deserved to be playing around with you guys but…" She then started crying. "It made me really sad to be away from you guys!" She croaked.

This made Izuku feel bad, and that feeling made him pull Tsu into a hug so she could have a shoulder to cry on.

"I was… Pretty angry. And I lashed out. I'm just as guilty…" He lamented with a sigh. "But I won't apologize, not for saving Kacchan. I know that stepping in was the right call." He continued. "But I am going to apologize for making you sad, Tsu." He added, allowing everyone else to join in on the hug.

"Th-Thank you…" The frog girl whimpered.

"Tsu, I'm so sorry!" King cried as he hugged her tightly. "I'll never make you cry again." He told her.

"Me too." Shoto nodded.

"Yes!" Momo nodded.

"Thanks for telling us how you feel!" Kirishima blurted.

"Yes, thank you!" Iida nodded.

Times were rough, and would be for a good while.

But, then again, what would life be without those times?


(Later)

Izuku and Ochako were silent as they walked into the former's room. There had been a lingering tension between them, even after the Fox Sin and the other rescue team members had made up with Tsu, so the ex-immortal was going to forcibly confront the matter.

The pink cheeked brunette took the opportunity to sit down on the boy's bed while he leaned against the opposite wall. His arms were folded and his sharp eyes were trained right on her, as if daring the girl to make the first move–say the first word to initiate the conversation.

His face was also stone cold, carrying an expression of cold intimidation–something he learned from Todoroki–and his firm muscles were pushing against his clothes, making him seem even more imposing without him even really trying to be.

The air was tense, so much that you could feel it brushing against your skin. Then Ochako cut through it.

"... You went after him." She commented.

"Oh, so she can speak." The Fox Sin rebuffed after having spent the past five minutes in silence, his expression and posture not changing.

"I'm really not in the mood for that." The gravity girl deadpanned. "In spite of what we were told, you still went after Katsuki. Even with everything you were risking, you still went through with it!" She exclaimed.

"Yeah, I did–and I'm not going to say I regret it, if that's what you expect." Her boyfriend told her firmly. "I told you. If we didn't act, we were screwed. You saw how bad things were before we got Kacchan outta there. If we'd been a minute later or not there at all, All Might would be dead, Kacchan would be gone–again–and society would be in shambles." He continued. "So you tell me, Ochako." He barked, towering over his girlfriend. "Was it really so bad that I followed my nature to do what's right?" He questioned.

Ochako was silent. One of the things she hated about his argument was that he was right; had he and the others not acted, All Might would be dead, Katsuki would be gone and All for One would reign chaos on the country. She had nothing to refute his words with.

She wanted to be angry, but… She couldn't. Especially when her lover was on point.

"... You're right." The girl sighed at last, getting a raised eyebrow from the boy.

"I'm sorry, can you try repeating that? I don't think I heard you that time." The Sin of Greed said with a smirk as he held his hand to his ear.

"I said you're right, you greedy dummy!" The pink cheeked girl snapped in light irritation. "You're right about all of it! How things would've been worse otherwise, how Katsuki would've been gone again, All Might being dead–ALL OF IT! You! Were! Right!" She ranted.

"Thank you. Finally, someone said it." The boy grinned before looking at her and finally relaxing. He then sat down next to her on the bed and got close to her. "Alright, go on and say it, I know you have something else to say." He added.

"You were still wrong to betray our trust like that." She told him.

"Does it look like I'm refuting that? Did that ever come out of my mouth?" He questioned.

"No, but you're not really addressing it." She told him in reply.

"Because I don't think it needs to be addressed, least not at this point anyway." He shrugged before he slowly took her hand in his. "All that aside, I'm just really glad we're able to be together again." The Fox Sin sighed after a minute, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah… Me too." She sighed, relishing in his presence.

After about ten minutes, the brunette had him lay on the bed before she climbed on top of him and started making out with him.

This continued until Izuku grabbed his girlfriend by the waist and rolled over, getting her under him and him on top, removing her shirt in the process.

Tossing the piece of clothing aside, the viridian haired teen then took off his own shirt and then slowly moved to her shorts, the girl now in just them and her underwear.

Ochako decided to return the favor and removed her boyfriend's pants, leaving him in just his boxers. This then led to Izuku going back to attacking her again, but this time he started kissing and sucking on her neck, his hands going under her bra and into her panties respectively.


(Elsewhere)

Meanwhile, outside the dorm–Kyoka Jiro, and when her sensitive Earphonejacks picked up the sound of gasping and moaning coming from Izuku's room, she immediately stabbed a jack in the wall, wanting to make sure he and Ochako weren't hurt.

Though when she got a clearer idea of what was going on based on what she was hearing, her entire face went tomato red.

'Are they seriously doing that in the dorms?!' She gasped mentally before disconnecting from the wall.

"Pst! Jiro! Whatcha listenin' to?" A voice whispered to her, causing her to jump and turn to see Mina and the rest of the Bakusquad standing beside where she was.

"Something that is definitely rated R that's happening with Midoriya and Uraraka." She replied, still blushing intensely.

"What are–... Wait, are you serious?!" Kaminari started to ask before realizing what she was saying.

"Damn, they're not wasting any time." Katsuki noted.

"Hang on, I thought those two still weren't talking?" Kirishima questioned.

"Well, technically they still aren't–." Jiro said before steam came from her ears. "Because I think Midoriya just made Uraraka deep throat him." She added.

"Wha—?!" The lightning blonde gaped in shock.

"Seriously?" Katsuki groaned. "So that's why Deku had Wandle keep getting him those muscle enhancing herbs…" He sighed.

"Uh, sh-should we leave?" Kirishima asked with a blush on his face.

"Yeah, they seem to be just fine where they are." Sero nodded.

Jiro was still listening so that she could continue relaying what was happening to her curious friends, and all of them–well, except for Katsuki–were all rather red... Except Mina, who had a purple face.

"Ho-ly shit." Jiro, now near the point of fainting out of arousal, pulled back from the wall and collapsed into Kaminari's arms–the human pikachu feeling pretty flustered as she did this.

"What? What happened?" He asked.

"I'm pretty sure Uraraka's IQ just got screwed down a few notches–and I really hope she took birth control because I don't think Midoriya had any intention of going in covered." The rocker girl told him. "She's completely out of it." She added.

"Let's just go. This is out of our hands now." Katsuki stated, getting nods from the rest of the Bakusquad.

"Yep. I'm goin' to bed." Sero nodded, before dashing away, face red.

"Yeah, I better go… too." Kirishima nodded before he noticed that Mina was tugging on his shirt, her face still flushed.

"Mind… Mind if I stay in your room tonight?" She whispered to him, as her room wasn't far from the current scene and she was too aroused to fall asleep alone.

"N-No, not at all..." The hardening teen whispered back in reply nervously.

"... Wanna go to my room or yours?" Kaminari asked Jiro, who he was carrying bridal style due to her being close to fainting.

"... Mine." The punk girl uttered in reply.

"... Soundproof?" The boy joked.

"... Yes." Jiro nodded with an atomic blush as she was carried away.

And with that, everyone went to their rooms to finally get some sleep.

It had been a long long couple of weeks.
