Chapter 26: Prep

A/N:
Hey guys welcome back, the week off really helped out. Do apologize that it happened at the last second, I really wanted to push it out. However here we go!

"So, this is where he lives?" Iida asks Uraraka as Izuku is currently paging me to let them up in the elevator. "Yea, his place is huge!" Uraraka says chuckling as soon the elevator arrives. "So, do you think they are going to use robots like we have been told?"

Izuku asks during the ride up the elevator, "Who knows they may change it up." Uraraka says as Iida nods, given the current state of our class as well as Sens status, it may be different." Iida says as when the elevator door opens up, it reveals a mad house.

Denki and Peter are going back and forth on a paper, Momo, Jirou, and Kate are all reading something. Tokoyami and myself are currently at a white board that I seem to have brought in. Sato and Shoji are currently talking with Danny about martial art styles that they can use.

Mina, Toru, Tsu, Aoyama, Mineta and the rest of the class minus Bakugo, Todoroki, and Kirishima are all here and their heads look a little fried. "Seems they have gotten started a bit." Izuku chuckles a bit weakly as his chuckle gets my attention.

"Hey guys, glad you can make it!" I say as everyone turns as well and greets them as Iida bows. "We do apologize for being tardy, but I wanted to make a stop to get some refreshments!" Iida says showing a bag he was carrying.

"Perfect, place it on the kitchen counter, we are currently going over battle topics for what I think the principal may have up his sleeve for us." I say wiping away bots off the whiteboard as Tokoyami agrees.

"Yes, bots at this point are unlikely due to how strong everyone is at this point in our teachings." Tokoyami says as Dark Shadow pops out, "I agree we are super strong!" Dark Shadow makes a show of flexing as this causes everyone to chuckle.

"Alright, we were just discussing the same!" Uraraka says taking a seat with Momo, Jirou, and Kate as Izuku walks over to me and Tokoyami. "Based on what we know what do you think Sen?" as Mina whines out as Iida had gone over to check on everyone who seemed fried.

"Sen is thinking we are going to be fighting against the teachers." Mina sounds so worried as Iida blinks as everyone takes a breath and look to me. "So Sparky, why do you think we will be fighting the teachers?"

Jirou asks as Kate chuckles, "Sen and the Principal have a good relationship, they play chess once a night, I have seen them." Kate says as everyone blinks, Denki coming up to me and starts to shake me.

"HAVE YOU BEEN CHEATING?!" He says whining as I chuckle letting him shake me as Tokoyami snickers as well. "Nah, it's something that apparently the Principal and Tony would do, I remember seeing them do this for a while." Peter says as Momo looks to me.

"So, you know the principal well, but how does that lead to the teachers being our opponents." She asks as Mineta whines. "If it's the teachers Sen is the only one who has a chance!" he sounds already defeated.

"Let Sen explain himself first guys." Sato says trying to calm everyone down, as soon Denki stops shaking me. "Alright, so my time playing with the principal has led me to learn, he is a sadistic fuck."

I say this flat out, "He likes to manipulate, trick, and make life hell for those he deems as a good challenge." I say this as this causes everyone to shiver, as if I am saying this the principal thinks I'm good enough to give a challenge.

"So given how he is, and him probably knowing we would look into the previous year's experiences, he wants to make it hard on us, as well as prepare us to fight other people, given the rise on villains coming out of the woodwork." I say all this in one breath as everyone can tell I really put thoughts into this.

"So, the principal really thought through all of this? Are you sure?" Toru asks we can see a sweat drop forming on her forehead, as everyone waits to hear this as this can make or break the morale for the finals.

"Well, I have come to learn that his quirk is called Hi-Spec, which makes him one of the smartest people in the world. He has a tied record with Tony, and Tony is ranked within the top 5 smartest people in the world... sooooo..."

Me saying this causes all hell to break look, the low scorers in the group just throwing in the towel right there, Mid scorers look a bit worried hoping their scores will keep them afloat as Momo, Iida, Izuku and Jirou all take a deep breath.

"Well, Sen you are one of the smartest ones in class, and given your quirk you can also increase your intelligence, right?" Momo asks me trying to get some hope back. As this causes the melt down to pause, Iida currently is holding Mineta from leaving the room.

"Yea, when it comes to my intelligence, Tony put me in the top 5 in America, with him being number one himself and Peter being in the top 10." I say as this statement calms everyone down a bit. "We have a chance, with Sen teaching us!"

"Yea, Sen is the smartest guy I know, minus Tony" Kate says chuckling as Danny gulps for us as he has seen the ends of my matches with Nezu. "Sen, do you want to tell them or should I?" Danny asks as I sigh softly, as the everyone pauses at this as Mineta begins walking out again.

Iida grabbing him and dragging him back. "I'll tell them." I say as I chuckle softly, "So... I currently have won 0 games of chess against him, and my record is 0-19..." everyone takes a moment to digest this info.

"Welp, we are fucked..." Uraraka says honestly as she sighs and just goes to the kitchen to get some snacks. As unsurprisingly, everyone continues their freak out as even Momo looks a bit worried, as my house looks like a mad house.

Izuku is currently writing his notes in as Danny, Peter and Kate are all trying to calm the crowd, Momo and Uraraka are stress eating, Iida is currently trying his best to pep talk Mina, Toru, and Mineta, but he doesn't look like he even believes in himself.

Tokoyami and Izuku are going back and forth with weak ideas, going through his notebook. Shoji and Sato have currently given up, and have decided to go into the kitchen, Sato has gotten my permission to make some snacks for everyone and Shoji has decided to help.

Out of everyone Jirou is the only one who chuckles softly, and begins to laugh before looking around and walks over to my room to grab something. "Guys come on, he guys! Hello!" I am currently trying to get everyone's attention, but so much has hit the fan.

I am about to just give up and let everyone suffer, as a loud guitar breaks through everyone. Jirou has grabbed her guitar and her amp that she has at my place and playing a loud riff to get everyone top stop and listen.

"Hey fuckers Sparky was trying to get your attention!" Jirou says as everyone is currently holding their ears. This causes everyone to finally take a look at me as I look at Jirou and smile happily.

"Thank you Jirou, I was going to let everyone flounder for a minute, but since I have everyone's attention." Jirou smiles and makes a motion of 'the floor is yours'. "Alrighty, so I may have a 0-19 score against Nezu, but this time. I am ready to make it 1-19."

The way I say this causes everyone to perk up a little bit. "I have a plan, but I need a few of you to help me really put it through the ringer, so you guys ready to get this set up?" I ask with a smirk as Jirou smiles.

"This is gonna be good, Sen has that look in his eyes." Kate says to Peter, and Danny as they all nod. "This reminds me of the first-time he led us to take down Tony." Peter says laughing as everyone else comes up to me all begging to hear my idea.

"So, Nezu is going to be pairing students up to go against the teachers, is my guess. Him and Aizawa are going to be the ones making the teams, as Aizawa knows us and knows our weakness and Nezu is the brains." I say going to the whiteboard.

I flip it around and clean it off and start to write things down. "So, what you are saying is, they are making profiles of us to put us in disadvantages matchups?" Izuku asks as Shoji and Sato come in carrying a tray of muffins and cupcakes for all of us

"Exactly, but we have a secret weapon, a few of them to get us ready for this." I say with a smirk as I take a bite into my muffin as everyone watches me walk over to Izuku. "This guy right here will provide us with the ace in the hole!"

Izuku blinks and gets completely confused. "Huh me? How would I do that?!" Izuku says getting flustered and nervous as I am putting him on the spot. "Then myself and Momo will be the next step in everything."

I walk over to Momo, and present her like a piece of art to everyone as Momo blushes and Jirou pouts puffing her cheeks as I feel a chill but smile it off. "Then lastly, it will be down to all of you, without any of you the plan will go down in flames." I say pointing to every last one of my classmates.

Jirou walks over to me and gently jabs me with her jacks to my side. "Okay Sparky let us have it!" Jirou says with a smirk, that only me and Kate catch as Jirou is currently trying to tease me, and get me back for presenting Momo in the way I did.

"Okay, Izuku present your notebook, we need the profiles for all of us!" I say pushing Izuku towards the center coffee table as Izuku nods a little flustered but nothing to bad anymore. Izuku has gotten his confidence back a bit thankfully.

"We need to analyze everyone here, and our other classmates who couldn't make it as well. We are going to build profiles the same way Nezu would, or even better with Izuku notes we can make such great profiles!"

I give Izuku his props as everyone gathers around as I signal Momo to come over to me. "Okay, everyone, based on the profiles we make here, we will see what teams will be fighting what teachers." I say as we start going threw everything.

"So, Sen with all this being said are you going to be needing a profile on yourself?" Iida asks as this does make a good question. Tokoyami agrees, "Yes your profile is already well known, not only to us, but the principal and Mr. Aizawa as well."

This brings up an interesting take as I chuckle and take two chapters from Izuku's book and put them up on the board. "Actually, we can start off with this, I already know for a fact I am going against Nezu." This gets everyone to blink and sweat, the principal himself is going to participate.

"Wait, how are you so sure?" Momo asks as Uraraka chimes in. "Sen himself said, he and principal Nezu always play chess, maybe this is another chess game to Nezu?" She suggests as I nod chuckling.

"Couldn't have said it better myself Uraraka, now knowing Nezu, he is very aware of my strengths and weakness as well. So, he is going to have a hard time pairing me up with anyone. So he instead of hindering me, he is going to just increase his chances." I say moving away from the board.

When I move away from the board, a bad drawing of Nezus face can be seen, and then a picture of a lightning bolt under it, then along with the picture of the lightning bolt can be two chapters from Izuku book for two of our classmates.

"WHAT?!" "FUCK NO WAY!" It is Denki and Minas profiles, "You both have the lowest scores academically, knowing Nezu he is putting you with me to see how my leadership skills pair up, when his is vastly smarter than the majority of the team."

I say as Denki and Mina both pout and Mina rushes over to me and punches at my back. "I am not dumb! I'm just academically challenged!" She says pouting as everyone laughs including me as I shake my head. "Never said you were Mina, but your scores make it an easy win for Nezu."

Mina sighs and nods as Mineta agrees. "Gotta agrees with Sen there, if it was Nezu against just you both, I can see you and Denki biting the dust." Mineta says as Denki looks betrayed. "Buddy?! What the hell."

Mineta just shrugs, "just stating facts man." As I agree, "Yea, so not only is he making upping his chances of winning, but he is testing all of us to work together. However, us 3 can plan for it here soon!" I say smiling at my perceived teammates. Denki and Mina both sigh but look to me.

"We will be counting on you then bud!" Denki says with a soft smile as Mina as bubbly as ever, "Yea, show us the way and let's make that record 1-19!" Mina smiles as I chuckle. "Now let's make profiles for everyone!"

Getting to work, all of us break off into groups taking multiple pages each of Izuku's book to find everyone weaknesses, styles, tendencies, and their strengths. Using all of this information we make a profile for everyone, and see how everyone may be paired up.

Sato and Shoji help everyone out by feeding us and bringing us drinks every now and again while also providing their own inputs on this. We break up into 3 groups to break down information. Izuku has the so-called Deku-Squad, minus Todoroki. His group also has Mineta and Peter.

I lead a group and it has myself, Kate, Jirou, Mina and Denki and Toru. As Momo leads the last group. Each of us took around 5 chapters, equating to 5 classmates as we all sort them based on their quirks, cooperativeness, and other stats.

"Alrighty, Kero, based on what we have this is what we can say." Momos group is the first one done as Tsu is the one presenting their information. "We had myself, Izuku, Uraraka, Aoyama and Momo." Tsu says as she takes the chapters and flips over the board and writes down something.

"Based on conversations, I can place Momo in the category of quirk reliant." Tsu says a Momo nods and sighs. "A lot of times, when my quirk fails me or even my mind fails me, I cannot make progress, I rely on my quirk to bail me out a lot." She agrees a bit shyly as I shake my head.

"Do not be ashamed, we are all still students and learning, plus marking our weaknesses now gives us a chance to work on them during the prep time Nezu has given us before the exams!" I say reassuring her.

"So do not be ashamed to admit your faults here, everyone here will not make fun of you for your weaknesses, we are here to learn and learn we shall!" I say taking charge of this again as Tsu croaks happily.

"I have to agree with Sen, Kero, we have to admit our weaknesses to turn them not into weaknesses anymore" Tsu says with a smile as this causes Momo to smile a bit and agree. "Thank you for that Sen."

I nod and chuckle as soon all information is presented. We have multiple profiles to fit everyone into minus myself, Denki and Mina as we are already sorted. In the category of quirk focused, or rather quirk reliant, we have Momo, Todoroki, and Uraraka. Sero can also be sorted into this group due to his quirk being a little bit one note.

Next category is all around good, in that one we have Tsu, Tokoyami, Iida, and Toru. Brawn over brain is the next category, and in there we have Kirishima, Ojiro, Shoji, and Sato. This is not stating that they are dumb in the slightest, but they are more for brawn than anything else.

Next up, is massive draw backs, and in that is Izuku, Aoyama, Sato again, Bakugo. These have been set up as such due to massive drawbacks with their quirks, whether it be due to backlash to themselves or damage to other than can be caused when not caring.

Mineta is in a category all his own stated, 'Grape Juice needs to train his perverted mind' as I already have placed his profile under a picture we cut out of Midnight. As that makes the most sense given Mineta perverted tendencies.

Last but not least, and the easiest group to place is Jirou and Koda. Both of their quirks are sound based as I look to both of them and back to the list of teachers. "Hmm Momo, Present Mic probably for them huh?"

I ask Momo as she nods, "Yea, since they are both sound based Present Mic would probably be the hardest matchup for them." As Ojiro nods and moves their profiles into position under a drawing of a Mic.

"Alright, now onto Aizawa, he is our home room teacher, he is probably going to want to test those he thinks need the most work." I say as Shoji scratches his head. "So, we could look at the quirk reliant group, right?" He asks as Jirou nods.

"Yea, that makes sense. However, I am gonna go out on a limb and say he will pick Yaomomo, and Todoroki." She says as I nod and agree. "Makes sense, both of their quirks can be extremely over powered but he can negate those completely."

Momo agrees, "Yes, so I will need to work on my hand-to-hand combat and make strategies that are not reliant on my quirk!" She says softly, as she moves Todoroki and herself under a picture of a dry eye.

Soon we have everyone paired up under their respective opponents as I scratch my head. Alright this makes the most sense, based on everything we learned of each other, we have our matchup!" I say taking a breath and sitting next to Jirou.

We have, Aizawa vs Momo/Todoroki, Nezu vs Myself/Mina/Denki, Thirteen vs Uraraka/Aoyama, Ectoplasm vs Tsu/Tokoyami, Midnight vs Mineta/Sero, Cementos vs Kirishima/Sato, Powerloader vs Iida/Ojiro, Snipe vs Toru/Shoji, Present Mic vs Jirou/Koda. Then last but not least, we have Allmight vs Izuku/Bakugo.

"Alright guys, based on all this, break off with your teammate, if you can, and make a plan to counter what they may come at you with. Momo, Sato and Izuku are left by themselves as their partners are not here.

"If your partner isn't get together with the others whose partners who aren't here, and talk shop on how you can get ready for your matchups!" I say taking the reins and steering the conversations as Peter, Danny, and Kate all kick back and smile.

"Yup Sens taking the lead and making sure all things are accounted for" Peter smiles and laughs as Danny agrees. "Sen wants to beat the furball bad huh?" Kate giggles a bit and nod. "Yea, I can see it, Sen is petty like that huh?" She teases me a bit as we all break off into groups and talk about how we can improve our chances.

"That he is, that he is" Peter nods and looks around. "How about we help out and let them bounce off ideas off of us?" Danny suggests as Kate nods. "Yep, that would help them, now let's get to it guys. Let's help 1-A sweep the teachers!" As my team goes around to talk shop with everyone and give some pointers based on profiles made.

Nezu and Aizawa are currently at the school, sorting the students and picking teams as they both shiver. "Hmm did you feel that?" Aizawa asks scratching his cheek as Nezu nods. "I may need to check to see if the A/C is on." As little do they know, 1-A is going to come out swinging for these finals.
