"How's Eri doing, you guys?"

The students of Class 1-A and 1-B were handling the paperwork from the incident. It would be the first real payment Class 1-A would get for hero work.

"She took on a fever after expending so much energy to use her Quirk. Luckily, Lady Tsunade was able to help stabilize her." Izuku answered. "That said, for the time being, she's under quarantine until her fever goes down. If something causes her distress and makes her Quirk go out of control, Aizawa-Sensei is the only one who can stop her."

My mom is planning on adopting her. I always did want a little sister." Hilda smiled.

"Just make sure you don't fatten her up into a little puffball, Stay Puft." Katsuki snarked.

"Trust me, Bakugou, only I can rock this bod."

"Overhaul kept saying other people were sick in the head? Honestly, he was the real diseased one." Himiko noted.

"Yeah, but did you hear? The League of Villains abducted him. They also abducted all of the Eight Bullets as well as Chronostasis and Mimic." Eijirou pointed out. "But for some weird reason, Rappa and Tengai, the guys that I ended up fighting, went along with them willingly."

"Perhaps the League figured they could be good recruits." Mina guessed. "After all, they did seem to be the most honorable of the Eight Bullets."

"I guess it's back to lessons after this, huh?" Kirby said.

"Honestly, I look forward to it!" Minoru said. "Things have been too crazy these past few months!"

"Not for me and Bakugou." Shoto spoke up. "Gang Orca wants our help with a more minor situation. Seems a school teacher has been having trouble with her students, and Gang Orca is hoping that seeing older students teach them will prevent them from going rogue and possibly turning to villainy once they're older."

"Yeah, kids can be cruel when not properly disciplined." Ben said.

"Don't look at me. If I could go back and time and smack my past shithead self upside the head, I'd do it." Katsuki scoffed.

"I hope we've peaked when it comes to paperwork." Sero groaned.

"Just this raid alone... All the arrests we made, disavowing damages, hospital bills." Nia groaned. "It's enough to make you want to drink!"

"The government makes sure to reimburse quite a lot, but still..." Mipha pointed out.

"We better get used to it. Most of my family memories involve paperwork. Never in large mountains, mind you." Tenya said. "The current system has really cut down on the amount of paperwork we have to fill out."

"Thank goodness for that. I'd hate to see this pile quadrupled in size." Denki said.

"Don't even joke like that, Choom." Rebecca groaned. "I'm gonna have nightmares for weeks about this!"

"Yeah, no wonder Aizawa-Sensei is so tired all the time!" Togaru added. "I'm half-tempted to shred this shit up!"

The very next day, Katsuki and Shoto headed off for the new assignment. Ben, Kirby, Hilda, Mipha, Nimona, and Penny had also volunteered to come along as support.

"Why'd they even need us for this shit?" Katsuki asked. "This'll be a cake walk."

"I'm not so sure about that, Bakugou." Shoto noted. "I never had the chance to experience primary school, so I don't know how kids at that age act."

"I've lived amongst my people of the Zora Clan for most of my life before coming to UA." Mipha added. "So, this will be a new lesson to be learned for me as well."

"We'll do it to the best of our abilities!" Penny chirped happily.

"I heard Inasa and Camie are gonna be helping out as well!" Nimona said. "That'll be cool, for sure!"

"Hey! Glad to see you guys again!" Inasa greeted excitedly along with Camie.

"Look at them sparks between 'em." Camie giggled to Hilda as they saw Ben and Penny getting ready. "You can tell they are totes BF and GF."

"It's all but official at this point." The rotund girl said with a big belly laugh.

"I heard about the raid on the Shie Hassaikai, Todoroki. Bet you were in the thick of it." Inasa said to Shoto.

Shoto nodded. "I did make my fair share of arrests. But it was the combined efforts of Midoriya and Yasakani that took down Chisaki."

"I heard those League of Villains guys kidnapped the dude while he was being transported," Camie noted. "Wonder what they want him for."

"Let's not think about that for right now," Kirby said, biting her lip. "So, what do you think these kids are like?"

"The brats are students at Masegaki Elementary," Katsuki said. "Seems they've been causing problems for their teacher and classmates.

"Hey, that's my old primary school!" Inasa excitedly said. "Maybe I can form a bond with them. See how the old school's been doing."

"Well, I know Yoarashi will have a good time," Hilda smirked playfully.

"So what's so bad about a bunch of kids?" Nimona asked. "It's not like they have big control over their Quirks. Remember what it was like for us growing up?"

"Yes, but you have to remember that Quirks tend to get stronger with each new generation." Penny pointed out.

"Good. Everybody is here."

Everyone turned to see Gang Orca entering the room and stood at attention.

You must be curious as to the reason for this assignment. It largely has to do with the results of the Provisional License Exam. Even though each of you passed, it was borderline. Bakugo and Todoroki, you two need to learn how to be more inspiring for those you hope to help. Yoarashi, you were seen as far too reckless with your Quirk. And Camie, you were mostly in inaction, too concerned with the prospect of villains attacking during the rescue."

"Ouch..." Camie winced.

"I APOLOGIZE!" Inasa said, bowing and slamming his head.

"As for the rest of you, I appreciate you coming here to volunteer and show your peers support." Gang Orca said to the others. "Your charges are going to enter momentarily. Remember, your goal is to win them over. Fair warning... They don't seem to hold adults in high regard. And they only define adults as 'anyone older than them'."

"Ah, the rebellious precocious types," Ben noted. "Well, here goes nothing!"

The doors opened as Gang Orca got out of the way, just in time for a whole slew of kids to start swarming the students. Their female teacher, who looked like she'd been the long-suffering type, was trying to keep order.

"Come now, let's introduce ourselves..."

"That lady is a total pushover!" Katsuki, Hilda, Nimona, and Ben all thought at once.

"Oh dear, this is who we have to win over?" Mipha asked. "This might be a challenge..."

"I was expecting only one class. This is at least two or three." Camie admitted.

"Either that or elementary classes have gotten bigger than we remember," Inasa noted. "Regardless, let's assess the situation and find out why these guys are such trouble-makers."

A kid with the head of a raptor was frightened when Katsuki snapped at him, causing him to run over to Mipha, who gently began comforting him as some of the boys' friends began yelling at the explosive blonde.

"You made Takuto cry, you big bully!"

"Quit yer yapping, brats!" Katsuki snapped back.

"Smooth, Bakugou..." Hilda dryly said.

"I know your type." A condescending voice spoke up as Katsuki turned to see a blonde boy standing off to the side, a smug look on his face. "Grown-ups who think they can get their way by shouting loudly enough to drown everyone else out. Well, I'm not impressed!"

"Feh, that brat reminds me of that worthless copycat shitstain, Monoma." Katsuki sneered as he turned to Ben. "Maybe they're related."

"Relax fam, I'm actually great with kids." Camie said as she picked up one of the boys and gave him a tight hug, which meant the kid nearly passed out from being fluffed by her large bust size.

"Like that's gonna help matters." Nimona scoffed while digging in her ear as a couple of kids circled around her.

Sure enough, Camie felt a sharp pinch on her rear as she turned to see one of the girls, who had brown hair in a puffy ponytail, glaring at her before turning to her friends.

"She's trying to seduce Sho."

"Just ignore her."

"OY! GET BACK HERE!" Katsuki snapped as he charged after a boy who had stolen one of his grenade gauntlets. "YOU BRATS ARE GONNA GET YOURSELVES KILLED PLAYING WITH THAT!"

The teacher, Komari Ikoma, bowed apologetically to Gang Orca.

"I'm so, so sorry. My class is just full of troublemakers."

"I wouldn't worry, these kids have great potential. And one way or another they're not about to let a bunch of school children beat them." Gang Orca reassured.

"I'm supposed to be their Quirk Councilor. This is a very important time in their development. But they've completely closed their hearts to those of us trying to teach them. I was hoping they could learn by example through more experienced students and heroes. I'm just not sure if it's working."

Ben, Hilda, and Katsuki overheard the conversation and looked at each other before gathering the rest over.

"Group huddle, team!" Ben said.

"What are they talking about?" Takuto asked.

"Who cares? It's just an overblown windbag, a loudmouth, a statue, and a floozy. What could they possibly know that we don't?" The blonde kid said dismissively.

"The primary problem is that these precocious brats think they know more than us for some reason. Our first step should be to isolate why that is and target it." Katsuki said.

Camie nodded "Yeah, these kids are way too developed mentally. Like, what little girl knows about sex appeal and seduction at that age?"

"But shouldn't their teacher have been able to reign them in?" Inasa asked. "I remember listening to my teachers when I was a kid."

"That lady is a total pushover!" Nimona scoffed. "It was way too easy for those kids to just run things by themselves."

"That kid with the blonde hair looks like the de-facto leader." Hilda noted. "We just gotta figure out how he got elected in charge and we can figure out how to earn these kids' trust from there."

"I'm big sister ready!" Penny said with a pumped look on her face.

"This outta be some fun." Ben smirked.

Meanwhile, Toshinori and Endeavor had also entered the stadium where the training was taking place.

"I spoke with Young Midoriya, and he says that while Kai Chisaki is behind bars, his influence over Eri isn't completely gone yet."

Endeavor sighed. "That's the worst sort of villain to handle. The sort who maintains influence even after being removed from the streets. I've never been able to handle the fallout from those types of villains. Maybe that's why I've always been stuck at the number two position on the rankings."

"Don't say that!" Garp laughed as he and Rayleigh came over as well. "You've always been good at your job, Enji, but the problem is that you don't quite capture the people's hearts! You always go for this rough and rude attitude that drives people away!"

Toshinori nodded. "He's got a point. When I chose to become the Symbol of Peace, I swore to help people maintain a smile on each and every face. I wasn't even aiming for the top spot, but I wound up getting elevated there just from doing what I thought a true hero should do."

"I guess with the way things are changing, rankings will eventually no longer matter." Endeavor noted. "In retrospect, a part of me wishes that we didn't even need to have these rankings. Perhaps maybe I wouldn't have let my obsessions control me and Toya..."

The others frowned as they saw the haunted look on Endeavor's face. Murder Machine had revealed Dabi's identity as his long-lost oldest child, Toya Todoroki, and that they were keeping him in the League of Villains as a means of making sure he found a proper purpose by being a Villain.

"The boy has made his choice. If only you could have properly conveyed that you were just trying to keep him safe." Rayleigh said.

"I know. Even now, that is still my greatest regret. I've refused to take down the shrine dedicated to him at our house because the way I see it...the boy I raised is no longer with us."

Back with the Hero Students, Katsuki took charge in laying out the plan for everyone.

"If these kids think they're better than us, then obviously they must have some confidence in how they control their Quirks, right? But as kids, they only know how to use their Quirks for playground roughhousing. Nothing like what we were taught."

"That's right!" Inasa realized. "They don't know what kind of training we go through as heroes. They only think of it as beating up bad guys. The whole comic book action scenario."

"To be honest, my Quirk isn't suited for combat in the first place. Quite a lot of Quirks are like that." Camie said.

"What are they talking about over there?" Sho asked as the kids tried to listen in.

"Good question, but I wish I could get in there. That floozy doesn't deserve to be standing next to such hot guys." The girl with the puffy ponytail said, glaring at Camie.

"Okay, I get it! We just gotta showcase our skills together. I think this could work." Penny said.

"Hey, I think they're planning something over there." One of the kids, a boy with sharp teeth named Tamashiro, noted.

"It doesn't matter what they try. We know the truth. Our parents and everyone else is wondering if the age of heroes is over." The blonde kid smirked before speaking up to his peers. "It's time to show them! We all know we're better than them! So go ahead and show them how well you can handle your Quirks!"

"No, you musn't!" Komari cried when she recognized what her students were going to do.

However, the Hero Course students weren't worried in the slightest, all of them grinning playfully.

"You think you can handle us, punk? Unless you have more power in you than the villains we've fought, you might as well pack it in now." Katsuki taunted.

The leader smirked. "In the end, you Neanderthals can only resort to useless violence. But that will be your undoing."

"This outta be interesting." Garp chuckled.

"Pardon me, but I don't think we have time for a long discussion!" Komari cried. "Because of their Quirks, these children are actually stronger than some heroes! And now they're out for blood!"

"I wouldn't worry about that, ma'am. They may think they're stronger, but that's only because of a narrow viewpoint. Trust me..." Rayleigh smirked. "Once they see how skilled a fully trained hero can be, they'll start to grow concerned. Unable to handle the fact that their worldview is wrong, it'll leave the perfect opening for the student heroes to show them something important."

Tamashiro summoned small black balls with razor-sharp mouths that he shot at Katsuki, who simply tilted his head to the side as part of his mask was torn off from the projectile as Ben caught it in his hand and inspected it between his fingers as it snapped at him.

"Hey, this is pretty cool!"

Tamashiro grinned. "How dy'a like my [Binging Balls]?! It's super strong and super fast!"

"How very fascinating!" Penny said as she looked at the Binging Ball Ben had in his hand as he let it go back to its owner.

"Gotta say, kiddo! That's some prime Hero power right there!" Hilda laughed, making Tamashiro blush at the compliment.

"Hey! Get a load of my [Assault Dust]!" A kid with black hair who wore a popped collar that covered the lower half of his face said as he sent plumes of dust from his hand at high speeds.

"Achoo!" Inasa sneezed.

"It's just dust...!" Shoto noted as Ben covered himself in a bubble shield.

"Sorry, I'm allergic! That's my Kryptonite, right there!"

"[Viral Cosmos]!" A girl with two flowers growing out of her head said as she spun and launched petals from them.

"[Tongue Tank]!" A stout boy with black dot eyes said as his mouth opened wide, revealing a tank cannon that fired rocks, which Kirby quickly ate to turn into Stone Kirby.

"[Electromagnetic Bullet]!" A boy yelled, launching a piece of stone using electromagnetic energy.

"[King Slam]!" Another boy conjured a hammer from his arm and moved to attack with it.

"[Hula Hoop]!" A third boy created a large ring of light energy that he threw.

"Was that a Dragon Ball Z reference there?!" Nimona gawked.

"Those are some pretty impressive Quirks right there." Garp laughed. "The only problem is these brats are just throwing 'em around willy-nilly."

"There are some who believe in the Quirk Singularity Theory. It basically means that one day, as Quirks continue to blend and evolve, they become too strong to control and endanger humanity." Rayleigh noted. "But what people need to acknowledge is that as Quirks get stronger, human bodies get stronger as well to handle them. That combined with proper training in how to handle Quirks means this so-called singularity will never come to pass."

Katsuki chuckled as the dust cleared, everyone having blocked the kids' assault with their own powers. Penny had even used Configuration: Half-Cold, Half-Hot, to aid Shoto in making an ice barrier with Mipha providing some extra water as well.

"They're coming at us hard and without hesitation..." Katsuki noted with a smirk. "They got guts!"

"They seem to think they can get away with anything since we're just Hero Students." Shoto said.

Inasa had a sad look on his face. "We're just trying to be their friends. Is that really so wrong?"

"Don't lose hope yet, Yoarashi!" Ben said. "The game has only just begun!"

"You gotta be kidding me! We gave them everything and yet they're not even scared of our Quirks!" Tamashiro complained.

The kids' leader scoffed. "They think they're better than us just because they're older. You need to show them how powerful we kids really are."

"Here I go!" The girl with the fluffy ponytail said, putting her game face on as a large valentine heart appeared over her head. "[Queen Beam]!"

The pink laser was fired at Shoto, who suddenly flashed a princley smile with roses and sparkles.

"Come, now. Let me see that pretty face of yours. It's a shame when you scrunch it up like that."

"OKAY!" The girl squealed with a blush only to see Shoto fade into mist to reveal just Camie.

"Sorry, sweetie. I tricked you using my Quirk." She apologized as the kid felt her whole reality shatter as her stomach bottomed out. "That would totally be so swoony, though. Unlike UA, Shiketsu doesn't let their students go on dates. It's such a drag."

"What kind of oppressive school system do you have?!" Nimona gawked in disbelief.

Ben and Katsuki were both busting their guts laughing as even Hilda was struggling to contain her mirth.

"If I wasn't already dating Kirby, I'd ask for that valley girl to marry me!"

"Penny! Please tell me you got that!"

Penny saluted. "My internal recorder got every bit of it!"

"Alright, fun's fun but let's get on with the strategy we came up with!" Inasa said. "I think we have enough parts to do it!"

"Indeed!" Mipha smiled.

Meanwhile, the leader of the kids was starting to lose his cool.

"What...are they planning?!" He shook his head and scowled. "It doesn't matter. I'm putting these big kids to shame! I bet I can even play the piano better than any adult out there! What I see on TV every day makes me so mad. These heroes! The police! My weedy teacher! I'm better than all of them! I have to show them! They need to know how good we are at using our powers!"

Just then, he was distracted by a sudden updraft created by Inasa, lifting the other kids and the items they conjured into the air.

"You kids sure are awesome but there's more to power than just running wild with it!"

"The interior's a little...shall we say...plain?" Camie noted as she breathed out more of her Glamour mist.

"Todoroki, now!" Nimona cried as Shoto nodded and slammed his right foot down.

Camie's glamour created an illusory night sky, complete with an aurora. Shoto generated a massive ice construct using the items created from the kids' Quirks, which turned into an ice slide with hoops. As the kids started sliding down, he lit the hoops on fire. Katsuki started launching makeshift fireworks from his wrists to complete the effect while Hilda used [Smokescreen] to create some smoke blasts.

"Wheeee!" Nimona cheered, turning into a polar bear and sliding with the kids, even letting some ride on her belly.

"Hey, get over there and have fun, you little shit!" Katsuki barked as he grabbed the leader of the kids.

"What's this?! Unhand me at once, you ruffian!"

"You're the ringleader, yeah?" Katsuki asked. "Tell me, what's your name?"

The leader huffed.

"If you must know, it's Amaro Neito."

"So my hunch was correct, you are related to that copycat piece of shit, Monoma." Katsuki said. "That asshole must have drilled a lot of shit into your head. Normally, what he's spouting is bullcrap but to impressionable kids like you, I can see why you'd mirror him."

"D-Don't you dare talk about my cousin like that!" Amaro barked.

"Right now you must be thinking how this little stunt won't fool you, right?" Katsuki spoke up, shocking the boy. "It's easy to think you're above the mistakes that people make every day. I was the same way once. If you keep looking down on others, you'll never be able to see your own weaknesses."

"That's advice from a guy who's been there, squirt," Hilda smirked as she walked over. "So be sure to remember that, kay?"

Amaro couldn't help but feel a stab through his heart with those words. Katsuki's tone showed he wasn't talking down to him, but trying to give him some legitimate advice. The next thing Amaro knew, he too was being lifted on the wind to ride the slide down.

Komari was crying at seeing her problem children suddenly being more agreeable, even Amaro.

"After this, it'll be up to you. You'll especially need to work with that boy Amaro." Gang Orca pointed out.

Komari nodded, bowing her head. "His Quirk, [Charisma], allows him to see what his peers need to work together and provide them with the means to do so. It makes them want to follow him, as his words hit right where they're most vulnerable. Ironically, he is also vulnerable to someone speaking with him, if they can hit his own weakness."

"Indeed, being the younger cousin of that problem child, Monoma Neito, I can understand why he'd be that way."

Endeavor could only watch as Shoto and the other Hero Students began bonding with the kids. Shoto warmed up a few of them with his flames when they were getting cold and Nimona was letting some ride on her back as she took the form of a tiger. Mipha was making water sculptures and Penny was giving one kid a piggyback ride while flying with her jet boots.

"I was always thinking it was important to be the strongest. But my son and his peers were able to win this fight, not with strength, but by inspiring their opponents."

Meanwhile, the League of Villains were taking some time off in their new hideout while fully indoctrinating Rappa, Tengai, and Freakshow into their ranks. Giran had also swung by to help with their next plan.

"So, this is Gigantomachia."

Tomura, Parten, August, Rudbornn, Kagetane, and Garie were looking at some photos of a giant mountain of a man roaming the woods.

"Now that All For One is out of the game, the big guy's loyalties pass onto whoever is leading the League of Villains. As in, you."

The Dark Knights were there as well. Batman Who Laughs was helping himself to some candy in a jar while leisurely reclining on a couch.

"He's the oldest living being ever affected by All For One, handling several Quirks at once."

"Indeed, the Quirks given to him make him a veritable walking disaster." Merciless nodded. "[Endurance], [Gigantification], [Pain Blocking], [Fierce Gains], [Dog], [Mole], and [Energy Saver]."

"All the perfect Quirks for the ultimate juggernaut." Grim Knight nodded while polishing his guns. "He's not one to be trifled with."

"His genome was used by Dr. Ujiko to create the Nomus, including their blind obedience." Murder Machine said. "We have already given him pictures of you all so that he knows by instinct not to harm them."

"If he's as strong as you say he is, it'd take me and Midoriya working together to put him down..." Tomura noted.

"How about we all gang up on him?" Twice said. "He's too OP! We can't beat him!"

"This will be your greatest challenge yet, boy." Devastator said to Tomura. "He has told us that he won't accept orders from you unless you can prove yourself as strong or even stronger than All For One himself."

"Well, with all the powers at my disposal..." Tomura smirked. "This might just be the kind of mission that TV Tropes would consider the Best Level Ever!"

"Hello? Is someone there?"

All Kai 'Overhaul' Chisaki could see was darkness. He was strapped to a chair and a bag was over his head as he sat in a dark room. He was all alone now, rejected even by the only man he could truly say he cared for. It all felt shallow now.

Footsteps echoed through the empty room as he looked around, a slight fear gripping in his heart.

"W-Who's there?"

"Nobody's comin' for ya, sweet cheeks."

The bag was thrown off Chisaki's head as he looked around to see Thrax, Magne, Rappa, and Freakshow all standing there.

"Freakshow...Rappa...you traitors...!" He spat out.

"You're not the boss of us anymore, Overwhore." Rappa sneered. "You're not even a Yakuza anymore! Now you're just a useless piece of crap that we can do whatever we want to ya!"

"You were talking a big game about Quirks being a disease." Thrax chuckled. "But the way I see it...you were the real sick one all along, buddy."

"Why won't you just kill me?"

"No, we're not gonna kill you." Magne scowled. "Not yet, anyway. You still have a lot to answer for what you did to Deidara...and that's not even beginning to go into what you've done to that sweet little girl."

"Honestly, Freakshow was chomping at the bid the most to see you squirming." Rappa said, patting his old Yakuza buddy on the back. "Honestly, I kinda liked what Shigaraki put you through with the Oyabun. It was gonna suck hard for you but hey, it was the only way the old man would get any closure knowing the runt he picked up off the street tortured his granddaughter, murdered his daughter, and put him in a coma because he was deluded into thinking he could change the way things run in town."

"Please...I want to take it all back...I just wanted...to pay him back..." Overhaul weakly muttered, tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry, we're gonna make sure you pay him back..." Thrax chuckled as Magne took out a crowbar and tossed it to Freakshow.

"First swing is yours, sweetie. Consider this your 'Welcome to the League' present!"

Freakshow nodded and approached his former boss, glaring hatefully at him. The weak, pitiful stare Overhaul gave him disgusted the clown-like Yakuza to no end. He was going to feel every bit of pain he put Eri, the Oyabun, Motoko, and every grunt he had murdered through.

With a hard swing into Overhaul's chest, he was knocked back into the darkness as Freakshow stomped toward him, bloody murder in his eyes as he raised the crowbar high and brought it down, a satisfying impact echoing through the room.

"Just try not to kill him, Freaky!" Rappa called out. "We ALL want our turns licking at him!"

"Yeah! But make sure he suffers!" Thrax laughed. "This is gonna be fun!"

Magne took out the same video recorder she and Thrax used to immortalize Parten torturing and defiling Pixie-Bob. It seemed to them that there was another great video to add to the dark web down the line...

You thought I was gonna stop things off at wholesome Hero Students bonding with troubled children? WRONG! HAVE TORTURE PORN, MOTHERFUCKERS!

I'm sorry, that was very rude of me. Have a good day, everyone!
