Chapter 21: Class 1-As Test
A/N:
Welcome back to another week, this week like I said there will be a small jump in time, with some key progressions happening off screen. I will make notes of these, as well as address them as best I can.
Enjoy!
"So tomorrow, we are going to have a special training event. It is going to be Sen versus the class." Erasurehead says telling the class as we are all getting ready to leave. Iida instantly raises his hand. "Sir, is that fair? Yes he is still a Pro hero, but we have all had time to study him!"
Iida does raise a good point, but all this does is get me to smile. "Well normally yes, this could be seen as unfair. Sen himself came up with this idea. So do try your hardest to go Plus Ultra..."
Aizawa says as everyone looks to me, as recently I have been on the news plenty of times within the past month and a half. From stopping petty crimes, to thwarting full blown crime rings. I have been busy making a name for myself.
Everyone looks to me, as I just have a great big smirk on my face. "It is a surprise as to what I have planned, and no Jirou or Momo or Denki doesn't even know." I say quickly as well this past month and a half I have been hanging out a lot with those 3 specifically.
Izuku looks to me studying me, I have also been with him a good amount helping him work on increasing his power output. His training card from back when we were training for the sports festival is still active so, I have been letting him use the Stark training facility.
"Sen, I know that smile..." Denki shivers as Momo and Jirou exchange some looks. "So, what, Bolts made a lesson plan, big whoop." Bakugo says unimpressed, however since his loss at the sports festival, he has been a bit more tamed.
"May we inquire some basic information?" Tokoyami asks as we are all dismissed. "We will be going into USJ, and performing a basic Villains versus Heros battle simulation." I say smiling a bit villainous like.
Uraraka looks a bit pumped as Bakugo smirk. "Oh, so we get to smack you around some?" "If you think it will be easy, being you all against me, you have another thing coming." This causes the entire class to shiver.
"Can I ask one more question?" Todoroki says walking up, as Sato and Shoji are listening in. "Of course, but I may not answer it." I really am playing the long game here. "What parts of USJ are we going to be using?"
I smile and clap my hands, "All the Zones are fair play. I will tell you this much, it will be a capture the flag/ zone/ objective type of thing." This gets everyone's attention as they begin to wonder what I have planned up.
We all get to leaving as I walk up to Jirou and Momo, "Hey guys, sorry about this, but I can't hang out today." I say a bit sadly, as both girls nod. "It is okay man, wanted to talk to Momo about something anyways." Jirou says as mine and her eyes meet.
This past month and half, me and Jirou have hung out the most, we basically have started dating in secret, the only few people who know are Izuku, and Kate of my old team. "Oh, perfect timing for a girl's night!" Momo claps her hands happily.
"Y-yea!" Jirou says a bit tense but smiles. "Hope you guys are ready, I won't be going easy on you." I wink at them and then take off as Izuku and Denki are going back and forth knowing me some of the best as Iida and Todoroki are chatting as well.
Since the Hosu city incident, Iida and Todoroki and seemingly joined my inner circle of friends. "So Midoriya, knowing how you train with Sen often, do you have any ideas?" Todoroki and Iida walk up as some of our other classmates listen in.
Izuku shudders, "He is either going to make it very manageable for us, or we are going to be pushed around and showed the works..." Izuku has come a long way in only a month and a half. Thinking to himself that jumping up to a cool 10% safe zone and 15% to 20% pushing it kind of zone is a good bit of progress.
"I am guessing so, since Hosu city he has been all over the place. Yet still in the top 5 of class." Iida basically commends me. "Well yea, bro need to keep his grades up to be able to do what he loves.
Kaminari says pumping his fist as Mina and Toru skip ahead. "Midoriiii! You guessing Sen is gonna give us hell?" She asks as Izuku nods. "Honestly yes, it is him against all of us." "So, how many pages do you have on him?" Todoroki asks curiously.
"Well... 10 pages..." everyone hears that and instantly. "Study night for strategy!" Mina and Kaminari yell out as this gets the entire classes attention. "Huh?!" Izuku says as he was not expecting this as Uraraka walks up with Kirishima in tow.
"That makes the most sense, let's make a plan for Sen and what he may throw at us!" Uraraka says as Kirishima bumps his own knuckles together. "Let's show him we are hot on his tail!" as Denki and Izuku decide to call me.
"Yo what up guys?" I ask, they can tell I have already left the school, but they hear a conference call going on in the background but can't make out the people I'm talking too. "Can we borrow the facility to have a study group?"
Kaminari asks as Izuku nods, "We want to make sure we show you our best tomorrow." I think about and smirk. "Sure, sounds smart, Tempest allows access for my class into the Stark training Facility." "Yes sir." they hear my Ai respond. "Have at it guys."
I hang up the call as everyone cheers and they begin their way to the facility. As only two members of the class are not going. "So Jirou, what did you wanna talk about?" Momo and Jirou are making their way to a small café.
"It is about Sen." Jirou says as Momos heartbeat quickens. "What about him?" She asks a bit cautiously as Jirou decides to just rip this Band-Aid off. "Me and him started dating after internships..." Jirou says squeezing her eyes shut.
Momos face goes through a bunch of different emotions that Jirou misses. Sadness, jealously, anger, happiness, and acceptance. "I should have figured." She sighs out but still smiles. "Well, I am happy for you both."
Jirou blinks not expecting this to go as smoothly. "You... Youre not upset?" Momo sighs but shakes her head. "I am a bit down; I won't lie to you. However, we did promise to not let a boy get between us." Momo says as they start eating and drinking some tea.
"Yea." Jirou says as, "However" Momo says catching Jirou a bit off guard. "I do want you to know, please make him happy!" Momo says a bit warningly as Jirou gulps but nods. "I will ma'am!"
-The Next Day-
"So, is everyone ready?" I ask as I am in my hero costume, as are the rest of my class. "Yea!" everyone cheers as Aizawa yawns. "So how did you study group go?" I ask as Iida steps up.
"It went great, we are ready for everything you can possibly throw at us!" Iida says confident even his engines in his legs revving a bit. "Yea, Sparky you can possibly hold down all objectives even if you set up phone wires to travel through!"
Mina says confidently, as Tokoyami smiles. "It is time for me to pay you back for the sports festival Sen." He makes that declaration as everyone smiles as I smirk and laugh tapping my headset to turn off my visor.
They see a smirk and a mischievous look on my face, as even Aizawa shares in my smirk as this gets everyone worried. Our teacher hardly ever smiles unless he has a secret surprise. "Now who said he was alone?"
Everyone hears as no one knows where the voice came from until 3 people seemingly come out of nowhere. One person in a yellow and green martial arts Gi, another with a bow and arrows as well as tactical gear, then lastly.
"Woohoo!" they all hear as someone comes swinging in from and does a back flip. He is dressed in a blue and black full body costume. "You will be against my old team and I." I say presenting all of us as I whistle.
The next thing they see is a metallic box land in front of me as I kick it up and send a charge through it. My old hero suit form Tony springing to life and going around me over my new costume.
"You are going to see why we are the top-rated hero team in the North Eastern USA." I say with a smirk as Izuku is having a full-on hero freak out moment as everyone gets a bit worried hearing that.
"Iron Fist, Hawkeye, and Spider-Man?!" Izuku yells out naming all of them. "Jirou... were they really ranked the top-rated team?" Sato leans down and asks her. "Yea... and that is out of all hero teams, not just young hero's..."
This causes everyone to flinch as I smirk before putting on my cowl that steams menacingly. "Here are the rules" I say stepping up and throwing down a disc that pops up a hologram. As I step through it and start manipulating it to display everything needed.
"This will be a two-part battle simulation, a divide and conquer aspect of this, then basically a siege mission." I say showing two different sides. "First, you will be broken off into teams that will be placed into 4 different zones." I break apart the first diagram.
"I have already preselected the 4 teams, and wanted to give a balanced feel to each time." Each team can be seen by their team leader as an Icon represents each team leader. The four team leaders are, Jirou, Izuku, Momo, and surprisingly Bakugo.
Icons can be represented as such, Izuku= Green Hair, Jirou= Jacks, Momo=Staff and a Book, and Bakugo=a Pomeranian. This causes everyone to chuckle as Bakugo who looked like he was happy to be a leader, get extremely angry.
"Leaders have full control over how their teams play that section of the simulation. However, some ground rules are as follows." I say as I pull up a rules chart. "No excessive property damage that isn't caused by the Villains. No running off and doing things by yourself."
Everyone looks to Bakugo as he huffs and glares directly at me. "Leaders must listen to their teammates ideas where applicable." Again, eyes go to Bakugo. "If the leaders are taken down, retreat must happen and there will be a full 60 second penalty."
Everyone gets confused at this as I them open the next screen. "This is a timed test of sorts, there is no time limit however, the more time you take the more your score will be effected as a team." I explain as a small chart shows grading based on times."
"No one will fail this part of the test, unless they break a rule." I smile as I then slide over the next screen. "Once every team has finished their zone, they will meet in the center plaza." Aizawa then walks up.
"You all will be given a 5-minute break then, to rest and recharge, then receive a briefing." He says explaining some of this. "All 4 teams, will then be smashed together with the team leader with the best time and the team leader with the 2nd best time taking over as Co-captains of the newly assembled siege squad."
I explain these rules quickly and effectively. "Once the rest period has ended and the briefing finished, you will all make your way to the Downpour or Squall zone. Where you will siege the last objective, which will be myself." I smile and tap my chest.
"I am the Kingpin in this, I am the head snake, I am the Villain team leader. Take me down and my team will give up and you will win the match." Everyone nods and gulps but looks confident as Bakugo smirks, but I smile again.
"However, similar rules are applied to you." I say as everyone blinks. "If both of your Captains are taken down or more than half of your team is captured, or incapacitated. Then you lose this part of the simulation, and will be given supplementary homework for the weekend."
Aizawa nods, "I have agreed with Sen that his is the best outcome for failing this portion of the simulation." Everyone blinks and looks a tad bit worried as I smirk. "Alright team leaders step forward please!"
The 4 students step forward as me and my team walk forward with a head piece like mine in my new costume. "This will let you each lead your team effectively. Double tap the button on the side to bring up your visor and HUD. Each team member will be given an ear piece and mic." As Aizawa passes those out to the other students.
"Alrighty, here are the teams!" I grab a hologram and basically yeet it at them as each team goes above the leader's head. Over Izuku is, Denki, Sero, Toru, and Shoto. Everyone looks to each other, this team seems pretty well balanced with versatility and power.
Next over Jirou is, Iida, Mina, Tokoyami, and Koda. This team has good mobility and recon. Over Momo is, Uraraka, Shoji, Tsuyu, and Aoyama. This team is more based on overall team cohesion and overall utility.
Lastly Bakugo has, Mineta, Sato, Kirishima and Ojiro. This team, seems the most unbalanced, however that was on purpose. Bakugo is a power house himself, Kirishima can help reign him in. Ojiro and Sato can cover their flanks, While Mineta is the Utility man.
"Okay, every team please make way to your designated zone!" I say as my team all take off to the zone they are assigned too as the team leaders HUDs say which zone is needed for each team. Team I is headed to Fire Zone, Team J is to the Landslide, Team M to the Urban and Team B is the Mountains.
My team is assigned to each zone as well. Peter to the Urban, Danny to the Mountains, Kate to the Landslide, and myself to the Fire zone. As all of us are on our own channel. "Thank you guys for helping out with this." I call out to my team.
"No worries man! I have been wanted to rumble with these guys since watching the sports festival." Danny says warming himself up. Each member of my team selected the team they wanted to face once I showed them the teams. Danny picked Team B, for the sole purpose of Power and Manliness!
Peter chose Team M due to Momo being a great mind, which Peter will test to the limits. Kate chose Team J due to the heavy focus on quirks. I got Team I by chance but it works out, as I wanted to really push Izuku myself. Training him has led me to see his short comings, and I will use those against him.
"So Impulse, can I tell them?" Kate or rather Hawkeye giggles over coms as I groan. "Tell us what?" Spider-Man asks as Iron Fist somehow figured out how to emote over coms.
"Thunder and Lightning *BBBZZT*" Her coms cut out right there. "Oooh hmm seems like the coms system still can use some work." I say with a soft chuckle basically using my quirk to cut her off. "Awww come on Sen I wanted to hear what she had to say!" Peter whines.
"Focus up here guys, everyone here is strong, and has only gotten stronger since the sports festival." I say as during our conference call yesterday showing footage of the classes progress over the past month and a half.
"Yea, I remember. We each chose these teams to really push them and push ourselves!" Spider-Man says ready to go. "Yea that Bakugo is going in a good direction, and giving him a bone this time as a leader is smart. Let's see if he can run with it!" Iron fist says ready.
"I get to push your girlfriends' buttons, and show them quirkless hero's can exist!" Hawkeye says priming her bow as sit on top of a burning building seeing Team I enter. "I get to push these guys to their limits and then some." Everyone on coms shudders at that.
I sound very excited and happy, and when I get excited and happy during training... someone is going overboard and that is normally me. "Radio silence, only key updates. If a leader gets taken down announce it so Aizawa can dock the timer." I tell my team as Toru is already sweating coming into the zone.
"Ugh, why did Sen choose this zone!" She whines as Shoto is the only one not sweating. "Probably because this has many hiding spots for himself, and he can stick to high points like he likes." Shoto says as during the study session last night Izuku and Iida pointed this out to everyone.
"So, watch out for high grounds, and if he gets close in lightning form ill zap em!" Kaminari says letting some sparks play in his hand. Sero sweats, "Using my tape here is going to be a pain." Izuku nods, "Use your tape only when needed, You and Kami will be needed to keep him back as with Kami and your tape he can't escape into his lightning form."
Izuku already taking the lead, as Toru blinks. "Wait this round isn't to capture him but to capture an objective, but he never stated what that was." She has a point as right as she says that. All team leaders HUDs light up.
"Well, everyone this is it; this portion of the Simulation is a go!" My voice rings out to all Students. "Your team leaders have just received their mission details as well as what you all need to capture in each zone!"
I sound excited and everyone gets worried. Jirou shivers as she tells her team. "Be ready guys, when Sen is this excited, he may go overboard" she warns. "Each team has a different objective based on their zones!"
Each team leaders HUD show their objectives for each Zone. Team I needs to make it to the end of the Zone to find the switch to shut off all the fires. Team J needs to find an injured Civilian in all the rubble. Team M needs to find 4 codes to shut down a "Bomb" in the city.
While Team B needs to cross the finish line at the bottom of the entire mountain ranges at the same time, if any one of the team members cross alone or not all at once. They receive a penalty that send them back to their last check point pausing their timer until resetting to their checkpoint.
"Complete these objectives as fast as possible, but as smooth as possible. If there is any kind of disagreement, remember you are timed." I remind them as I continue on. "My team will do everything in our power to slow you down and keep you from getting to your objective."
I explain as I chuckle. "We will attack you guys with real intent to cause damage. So be prepared to return in kind. We have Aizawa on standby for injuries and to call a time out if needed. As well as Midnight coming in soon to monitor us with Recovery Girl."
"So, feel free to really lay into us. We are Pro hero's, we are your friends. However, at this moment we are your worst enemy. We are the Villains you are training to beat. So good luck!"
I say as I cut coms to each team and back to mine. "Be ready to rumble everyone!" I say as a horn can be heard signaling the start of the simulation as each team begins to move at their own paces.
A/N:
Well, here is the all-exclusive non-canon event! Does it sound cool to you all? I really went to balance each team as best I can as well as send them to zones where they will have to work together. Team B or Bakugo was the hardest to pinpoint an objective but I think I found a good way to make sure Bakugo actually needs to try and be a leader. Let me know how I did!
