Chapter 6: Overdrive

A/N: Hey guys, gonna keep the format from before, helps keeps things organized. So sorry if this one seems a bit late, tried to get a start to this chapter that wouldn't be so bad. So please enjoy and review!

So, classes had to resume at some point. "So, any idea on who may be teaching the class?" Mina leans back in her chair making Tsu hold her up. "Well, seems to be out of commission for a while with the injuries he had." Tsu says thinking about how badly he was hurt in USJ.

"If I had to put money down, I'd say he is still going to teach us, he is a hero and can't let injuries stop him" I say looking plainly at everyone. "Sen stop playing man, he was way to..." "Everyone sits down and get ready for class!" a bandaged man comes walking in and everyone flips out as I chuckle. "Told you all"

"Why are you even here?!" half the class yells as Izuku agrees with me, He is our teacher and a hero. "Life doesn't slow down for hero's even if they are injured, as Sen can tell you." I end up nodding as it seems my efforts have let Aziawa-sensei actually praise me. "So now, onto the next matter of business for you all." Aziawa says looking very serious for even just a pair of eyes as everyone starts to think.

"Another villain attack?" "More fights to come?" "Harsher training?" that and similar types of thoughts going through everyone's head as Aziawa looks to us, "UA sports festival is coming up" As everyone mentally is stunned. "SO NORMAL?!" as Iida looks around after everyone's outburst as he raises his hand to ask a question.

"Yes, Iida go ahead" "Is it really smart to be holding the sports festival so close after the USJ incident?" "Yea isn't that a bad idea, what if the villains come again?" Mineta says nearly wetting himself at the thought of that happening as I'm about to open my mouth to speak Bakugo actually beats me to it.

"You all are dumb, of course it's the best idea, if we back down now it shows the villains had won and real heroes never lose, so I'm all for this" He grumbles a bit seemingly calmer than before. "Yes, as Bakugo said, this will show how we are united and won't let the Villains stop us from living a normal life." Aziawa explains as he goes over some basics for the sports festival.

"So, the sports festival is a scouting ground for all the young talent, it is for you all to show your stuff, and show the world who you are and what you're made of" The bundle of bandages speaks as some take notes and others just mental notes as I sigh and look out of the window. "Sen you may have been a hero in America but here you're just a student, so use this to also make a start for yourself, your hero license transfer is still in the works, so show the agencies here what you can do."

Aziawa is actually pretty strict as Denki nods, "makes sense some people may know you from America, but most will just see you as a student." he says gently bumping me, as for the rest of the day, it goes on normally. "Hey, Sparks!" Bakugo calls for me as I know he isn't calling Denki, as Denki is called Dunce Face. "Hmm what can I do for you Bakugo" I say turning to him, getting my stuff to leave for the day. "I saw what had happened at USJ, don't think you stalling for Allmight makes you better than me, but..."

Oh, I can't wait to hear what he has to say, "I'll give you the respect you deserve, you didn't lose... So, don't go bowing out of the festival before I get to show you up" He says turning walking away... "What just happened?!" Izuku appears on my right as Momo and Denki appear on my left. "Did Kacchan just act nice?" "Seems he may see you as an actual rival Sen, you may wanna keep your eyes up" Momo giggles softly as Denki nods. "If Bakugo actually said what I think I said, woah"

As everyone knows from the few weeks we have been in classes, Bakugo is a hardass and an asshole, but he does respect power. "Hmm guess I gotta keep up my training, speaking of which, since we get a week off to train up and rest for the Festival, Denki wanna run it back and train with me?" "Really? Bro that will help since we can work off each other's quirks so well" "Mind if I join as well, I wanna see how a former hero actually works out his quirk!" Izuku sounds excited.

"Sure man, the more the merrier!" I sound excited as well, as us 4 walk out together I look to Momo. "You don't wanna join us?" "No, I'm okay, I need to study on my own, if I wanna live up to the expectations you've put forth Sen" Momo seems determined as I think, well if we want an even playing field, as I see a purple head walk by. "Jirou! Hey!" I call out to the girl. "Hmm what's up?" she turns as we catch up to her.

"Wanna join me, Denki, and Izuku for training this week? It'll help keep things even and we can have team sparring matches to help each other" I throw that out there as I can see she is thinking about it. "Sure, but where can we train most places, we can't use our quirks" She says as Izuku and Denki agree. "Don't worry I know a place, after school Friday I'll show you all where we will do this!"

I sound excited as they all blink wondering, how is this going to work out?

(A week later)

Friday afternoon finally rolls around as the group of 4 all stand at the train station, "Alright we won't start today but, tomorrow everyone should meet there at 11 am" I say as we ride the train. "Do you really have somewhere?" Izuku asks as I nod, "Yea, it's all covered and we can use our quirks to our hearts content, also there is an auto repair feature to the building with multiple areas, so if one area gets destroyed, we can continue elsewhere, while the former repairs itself"

"Huh is that even possible?" Jirou sounds skeptical until we get to the Building as it has a giant S on it. "Yea, Starks technology makes a lot more things possible" I chuckle softly as we walk in and a Hologram of Tony appears. "Alright Kiddos, here's the deal, you can use your quirks as much as you want in here, the training room is huge and we have all kinds of equipment." He looks at us all as he explains, "Go wild, but remember there are 4 rooms to train in, if you destroy all four within a few hours... you'll have nowhere to train, it takes about 3 hours for a room to repair and get in working order again, so go wild but not too crazy, Sen if anything happens, it's on you!"

The hologram goes away as the facility lights up and Izuku's and Denkis eyes nearly pop out of their skulls. "Woah this is great!" Jirou is excited as well but not to the extent of the others. "Yea Tony loaned me the building to train in if UA was closed and such, so meet here tomorrow at 11, I'll work on getting you all passes into the building. As they noticed when we walked in, I scanned a card and no security check bots came to us.

"Yes sir!" "Roger!" "Alright" the three say leaving off for the day as I go around setting everything up for the next morning. When 11am hits I'm outside the building as Jirou and Izuku walk up together. "Hey guys, glad to see you made it on time, here are your passes, scan them when we go in and the bots will leave you be." I explain heading in as Izuku looks worried.

"Shouldn't we wait for Kaminari?" "Nah he is late he has to deal with the bots today, that will teach him to be on time." I say flatly as Jirou snickers, 'He is your best friend and you're doing that to him" "Hell yea, he knows I would do this and still is late" I chuckle as we head inside and get a jumpstart on training. "Okay feel free to do what you want, today will be everyone for themselves" I say letting them roam free in the room as Jirou nods and goes ahead to some training bots to see how her quirk fairs against them as Izuku looks around nervously.

"What's up Izuku?" I ask, my natural leadership abilities telling me something is up. "Well, you saw how my quirk is... I'm a bit worried to go around breaking stuff even if we have an okay by Mr. Stark..." He is such a pure boy as I nod. "Want some help then? Maybe I can help find you a few tips maybe you can use" I suggest as we all hear Kaminari yelp in pain and run into the room with his pants half off. "The hell Sen?! Why did those bots strip me?!"

"Security measure, you were late you pay the price" I chuckle at him and toss him his keycard. "there now you can come and go as you please without the bots bothering you, now go ahead and get to work today is all about self-improvement on our own." I say, seems I already have a training schedule for us all. "Roger Roger!" Denki salutes and goes to find some electrical components to zap himself with.

I turn back to Izuku, "So what do you think?" "Honestly that would help.. A lot" He says actually happy for my help as I nod and we head into training room 1. "Alright so from what I can tell, your quirk is a powerup type right?" "Yea, it's called super-strength, I recently awoke to it since my body wasn't trained enough to manage until recently" He explains this as if it's well-rehearsed, but something sounds odd about it... something for another day.

"Okay, I've noticed you use your fingers to shoot out air blasts, but then your fingers are broken... I'm guessing you don't have control over it?" "Yea, I try and think of an egg inside of a microwave not breaking, but that really doesn't seem to help.." He sounds a bit defeated at that, as I think... "Hmm okay here let me try this, I'm going to use my quirk how you do so you can see yourself okay" "Hmm? Okay?" as I look to him, I get some room to myself and start to emit some sparks. "Normally I let my current flow through my body or to select parts I want to either charge up or emit electricity from, but if I do it how you do it..." I charge up my finger and make it super strong but it really starts to vibrate and emit crazy sparks.

"Woah... That's cool but it looks like your finger is about to explode..." Izuku says as I grunt and send out the sparks shooting a wall with a bolt of electricity. "Yea, I was harnessing all my power into my one finger like you do" I shake out my hand as my finger is twitching bad. "Alright... so how does this help me?" as I nod and start to charge up my finger again but noticeably less sparks and less strength go into it as I can control the sparks on it and even do one fingered pushups since the muscles are charged up.

"What.. How are you doing that?!" Izuku is surprised beyond belief as I chuckle. "I lowered the power into my finger so it can withstand the backlash, I'm not going from 0 to 100 just like 0 to 20, or something" I explain and shoot of some minor sparks to let my finger decompress. "But I can only go to 100..." Izuku sounds defeated as I think.. "Hmm watch me" I saw getting his attention as I start at my finger which emits the crazy amount of sparks again as I set it basically to 100.

"Isn't your finger?!" Izuku sounds worried until he notices the sparks travel up my finger and arm and start to travel around my entire body as I temporarily buff up a bit. "Wait...what.." Izuku looks so confused as I chuckle and power down. "So, what can you tell me about what I just did?" I ask him, I'm not going to just give him the answer, he needs to figure it out for himself to really grow. "Um your power went from just your finger to all over your body... which seemed to handle the power better?" He explains to me a lightbulb seemingly appearing over his head but it's not yet lit.

"Correct, and what can you tell of that?" I ask him as I sit on the ground looking up at him. "When it went from just your finger to your entire body, it could handle it better?" He says thinking the lightbulb showing a dim light. "Correct can you tell me why?" "No... honestly I can't" He says after some major thinking but the lightbulb goes dark again. "Okay okay, how about instead of a microwave that you can just turn off and on... why not a power dial that goes from 0% to 100%" I suggest, the light bulb glows dim again.

"So maybe I can try to use less power in my fingers than 100%?" As I nod, "Yea try it and see how it feels," As he powers up one finger and it glows a bit as he focuses his mental image of a now power dial and tries to set his power like 2% in his fingers as he feels the muscles bump up and get stronger but nothing to crazy. "woah.. It feels stronger... And doesn't hurt as much!" He says excited and tries to shoot off an air blast like before with 100% and it's still a good gust of air but not like before.

"Mhm, now try and move that 2% power from your fingers to your whole hand" I watch him as he does so, he struggles to keep his power at 2% and also in just his hand as it powers down a few times before he has it active in his hand at 2%. "It feels... in a way weaker but also my hand feels stronger than normal." He says as I nod and try to explain, "Your hand is stronger yes but the 2% is now more spread out, it's not just compressed into one point. Think of when you're flicking your finger, you don't charge it up, its weak yea?" He nods the light bulb slowly getting brighter.

"Flicking your finger without charging up the power is your base, how you are with your quirk off, when the finger is charged for a while it'll hurt a lot more right?" "uh...huh.." Izuku is starting to follow. "That is 100%, which means it'll hurt the other person more but can also hurt you, so charge it up a little bit and it'll still hurt but not as much for you anymore that's the 2%." "So, you're saying, that if I use 2% and spread it out to more than just my finger, I can power up that appendage?" the light bulb is almost bright now as I shrug.

"Thats up to you to figure out, here try arm wrestling me, and just use the strength you have normally." I say setting up a table for us taking his hand as we arm wrestle, I charge up my arm so he can't move it. "What this is too hard!" He groans as he can't move it as I chuckle. "Try putting 2% into your arm and just your arm for right now, and see what happens... as the light bulb over his head shines brightly as he charges up his arm to 2% of what he is capable of and starts to put up a fight slowly moving my arm.

"See how having the power running not only at a lower percentage that your body can handle, but spreading it out can help you?" As soon he has my arm pinned down "I did it!' He is such a pure boy I swear, as I chuckle and nod. "Try and find out your limits when it comes to what you can put out safely, remember power dial... not a microwave, also its well and good that you can power your quirk on and off... but remember it's not supposed to be a light switch" I say chuckling getting up.

"Huh wait what do you mean?!" Izuku sounds confused as his thought process is stopped short of what I was trying to get, but he did learn how to control his power output and turn it off and on in certain areas with concentration. "Can't tell you everything man, for now focus on learning how to charge up certain areas at low power, get a feel for it and then see what max low percentage you can use safely" I say going over to Denki and Jirou to check on them, leaving Izuku looking at his hand.. Happy to have made some progress, but still knowing he has a long way to go.

As the training goes on, Jirou seems to be handling herself well, using her quirk to push back and fight the bots...maybe some martial arts would be good for her, and Denki.. Well, I had to give him a few more tips than Izuku about the same metaphor a power dial.. And he seemed to get it... as the day winds down, I start to train myself, charging myself up to near max and then letting loose, trying to increase my max output... Because something tells me, I'll be in for a real thrashing if I don't train seriously after helping Izuku out and knowing the powerhouses of Bakugo and even Todoroki. "This sports festival really is going to be something!"

A/N: So, there is Chapter 6, time to get some real changes from the canon story now. Sen has gotten Izuku to see his quirk in a different light, not just 0 to 100, and while he was trying to show him full cowl basically, Izuku couldn't fully wrap his head around it being "HIS" own quirk.. Since he still thinks its Allmights quirk, he still sees it as a light switch, on and off, not active through his whole body like everyone's quirks are technically. The sports festival will be a bit different since Izuku has some minor control over his quirk, he won't be breaking as many fingers and such, but it'll still take some concentration to get things done. So hopefully you guys don't mind too much

Please Review, and let me know what I can improve on, until next time!
