There Are Gods at UA High?

by Gojiradon

Two heroes from another reality suddenly find themselves in the world of MHA. With no memory of how they got there, but using the might & know-how they gained in their travels, they might change fate for the better…or maybe something else…

5. Competitive Spirit…(pt1)

Here's the next chapter, by the end, we will start off with the U.A. Sports Festival. There's a lot to go through, so I apologize if I didn't spend a little time showcasing how Rosa and Sean handle their classes with the rest of the Hero Course students. Well anyway, let's get started, shall we...?

Hero Course Classroom 1-A, U.A. High…

April 22nd, 8:50 AM, T.S.T. (Tokyo Standard Time…)

Rosa sat right next to Ochako Uraraka at her desk, and once Aizawa took his nap for the remainder of homeroom, a good chunk of the entire classroom crowded around Uraraka's desk, barraging the Pokémon Trainer in disguise with numerous questions after introducing themselves…

"What's your favorite color?" Toru Hagakure excitedly asked.

"What are your three sizes?" Minoru Mineta asked with a hungry expression, only to be met with a slap of Tsuyu Asui's tongue and the earphone jacks from Kyoka Jiro paralyzing the midget pervert.

"Do you have a favorite music genre?" Kyoka Jiro asked, twirling one of her earphone jacks around her finger with a slightly shy expression, and a small blush.

"Are you in a relationship?" Mina Ashido & Denki Kaminari excitedly asked, eager for some juicy gossip for the former, and eager to land a hot girlfriend for the latter.

"Where are you from?" Momo Yaoyorozu asked, she found Rosa interesting and a little familiar somehow.

"What are your favorite animals?" Koji Koda shyly asked via a notebook he hid his face behind, and Tsuyu Asui read it aloud for him.

"What kind of hair care products did you use to get your hair like that?" Ochako Uraraka asked, mesmerized by how gorgeous Rosa's hair looked.

"Do you think I'm stylish?" Yuga Aoyama asked, twinkling in his eyes as he looked at Rosa with a somewhat curious expression.

Rosa raised her hands defensively as she exclaimed, "Wait-wait-wait-wait! One at a time! Let me have time to answer your questions!"

She thought in her mind, 'Sheesh! I should have known these kids would be eager to know a new face. It was like the last time…'

The girl then remembered her many friends back in her world a few years ago, and that all the students of her class then were eager to learn more about her and the other 9 students when they transferred into the school (her husband, her close friend, her close friend's eventual husband, and the couple's friends from another world…) She recalled that some school's students get especially curious about foreign transfers, and thought her husband might be going through something similar in his classroom.

Rosa then remembered that she was asked a few questions by her classmates and decided to answer them in quick succession and pointed to who asked what question…

"Violet, but I also like the color Blue (Hagakure), not telling an obvious pervert like you (Mineta), I like listening to J-pop, Jazz, and Classical Orchestra (Jiro), I'm from Elisabeth, New Jersey in the United States (Yaoyorozu), I use Coconut extract shampoo and conditioner (Uraraka), I like dogs, rabbits, cats, axolotls, and dinosaurs (Koda), you are stylish, but a bit much for my tastes (Aoyama), and I am in a relationship, I have a boyfriend (Ashido & Kaminari)…"

"Oh! New Jersey? You don't–…" Sero began to comment, only for Rosa to interrupt with a reply, "I don't have the accent? Never really picked it up, my parents were from New York, and I learned how to speak from them. And I learned Japanese in large part thanks to my boyfriend…"

Ashido whooped a little hearing that, she just knew a girl this pretty already has a boyfriend (unaware that Rosa was actually married to said boyfriend), while all the boys (Kaminari and Mineta especially) who thought they had a chance either withered like dead, dry crops in a drought or are determined to try and win her over since her boyfriend is likely back in America–…

"My boyfriend came with me to Japan, he's close to a year older than me and we both take care of each other. I wouldn't trade him for the universe, especially since, I honestly want to marry him…" Rosa added with a shy blush, which shot down any chances of those thinking they could try and steal her away, and soon joined those who withered like dead crops, then exploded internally with unbearable jealousy.

'Goddammit, WHY!? Why is this sexy-as-fuck babe already spoken for?! I am so jealous of whoever the lucky bastard is!' Mineta thought as he cried tears of blood, shook his clenched fist, and bit his lip in frustration and extreme jealousy.

Bakugo clicked his tongue in disappointment, which was hidden by the shrill squeals of the girls finding what Rosa said about her boyfriend to be so romantic. He kind of expected it, there was no way a girl that attractive didn't already have a boyfriend, he would have considered asking her out if she was single, but alas. The fact she straight up stated she wishes to marry her boyfriend in the future further confirmed for the explosive blonde that no man in this school has any chance with her. She's unobtainable, and he knew that that would only serve as motivation for those who are captivated by such a prize. Fortunately, he is not like those lost causes…

"Ugh! I told you to be quiet!" Aizawa grumbled with a pissed-off look on his face.

"S-sorry, Aizawa-sensei…" Rosa apologized, using her acting to come off as more likable to her fellow students, "…I was just answering some questions the class had for me, they got a little excited when I talked about–…"

Aizawa interrupted her, still inwardly impressed with her acting, "Your boyfriend, I know, I've heard. I met the guy, and I will tell you upfront that relationships are not necessarily banned here, but they have to be kept out of school matters. There are consequences if you two go too far, understand?"

Rosa bowed, feeling a little upset, but sucked in her disappointment as she said, "Yes, sensei…"

Aizawa sighed as his attempt for sleep was ruined, and then said, "Well, since I am up, might as well assess your potential…"

The rest of the class paled as they knew what that meant, but Rosa seemed to not as she asked, "What do you mean by that, sensei?"

That earned some shocked expressions from almost the entire class as Aizawa smirked.

'Hmm…she really is good at acting. I was almost convinced she really had no idea, had I not informed her and Hashimoto of what I planned…' Aizawa thought, but he answered Rosa, "A Quirk Apprehension Test…and you will be putting the class' records on the line…"

'WE'RE GONNA BE COMPETING OUR SCORES AGAINST THE NEW TRANSFER'S?!' That was what all twenty students thought, and further paled when their homeroom teacher said, "Given what I had seen with your transfer exam results if any of the other students don't shape up to what you and the other transfer demonstrated, both myself and Class 1-B's homeroom teacher will expel any of you whose potential doesn't measure up with theirs…"

'WE COULD GET EXPELLED IF WE DON'T BEAT THE TRANSFERS' SCORES?!' Everyone paled and slumped in shock as a few of them had little ghosts fly out of their mouths in disbelief.

Five Minutes Later…

U.A. High Track field…

Everyone got into their gym uniforms, and most of the guys gawked at how the uniform left nothing to their imaginations as it hugged Rosa's body like a second skin in some places. The normal school uniform accentuated her appeal as a beautiful and cute girl, but the gym uniform did the same to accentuate her overall attractiveness and sexiness.

Mineta was beyond infuriated as he clenched his trembling fist and thought, 'Holy shit! She's even hotter than I thought was possible! She's got the bod of a gravure model! That sensual hourglass figure with big boobs and a big ass! I hate that lucky bastard boyfriend of hers, he gets to enjoy all of that with Parker-san! Her boobs are possibly bigger than Yaoyorozu's huge mounds! And the lucky bastard gets to touch and rub them as much as the he wants! Why can't that be me!'

Yaoyorozu shuddered and grimaced as she held her arms tightly to her body. She had an uneasy feeling that she was being watched by a stalker, even though she knew that wasn't possible at U.A.…

But the heiress probably figured from the unpleasant sensation that she was being compared to Rosa Parker (by Minoru Mineta, she correctly guessed), and it was not hard to see why, especially as Rosa's chest bounced as she did some stretches. Yaoyorozu soon noticed that, despite the school uniform hiding much of it, now in her gym uniform, Rosa has a decent muscular build, one befitting of someone who exercises regularly…

"We're here, Aizawa! Now what did you want with us again?"

Everyone turned to see Class 1-B's homeroom teacher, Sekijiro Kan, otherwise known as the pro-hero, Vlad-King. And following close behind…

"OMG! IT'S HIM! THAT'S THE GUY I TOLD YOU ABOUT!" Toru Hagakure shouted excitedly as she pointed to a student walking behind Vlad-King.

Yaoyorozu was caught off-guard by Hagakure's shout, and when she directed her attention to the student behind Class 1-B's teacher, her eyes widened in surprise at who this student was…

He was a tall, very handsome boy with a bedhead of brown, somewhat long hair, and brown eyes. He looked like a foreigner himself, but boy, did Yaoyorozu not mind that at all, as she looked at his body. While the boy was tall, he wasn't taller than Mezo Shoji or Rikido Sato, but that didn't mean he wasn't built for hero work. The boy was lean, and nowhere near as muscular as Sato, but his muscle definition was well-defined and solid, which told the heiress that he was much stronger than he looked. He looked young, at most, maybe a year older than most of her classmates (boy, is she off by about four years, or five), Yaoyorozu noticed his (admittedly handsome, to her) face, particularly his smile, as it had confidence, but also showed a genuine kindness behind it, that she would not mind seeing more often.

Yaoyorozu continued to stare at the boy and soon realized what she was doing as she felt her heart quicken in pace, and her face heat up like she was exercising. She placed her hands on her face and felt how warm her cheeks were, she quickly deduced she might be blushing, which served to make her feel embarrassed. A small croaking noise soon caught her attention to look at Tsuyu Asui, and noticed she wasn't the only one looking at the boy…

All the girls of Class 1-A were looking at the boy like she was, with varying facial expressions that ranged from bewilderment to a hungry look not too unlike the look Minoru Mineta gives most of the girls in their class. Most of the boys were looking at the 1-B student with overwhelming jealousy, but a few didn't seem to show such jealousy.

Kirishima was grinning as he said the boy looked manly with those muscles, even saying he would like to hear his training regiment and try it out himself. Izuku looked like he was very curious about the boy, likely wondering what his quirk was like. Bakugo glared at the boy, which Yaoyorozu believes from what she observed so far, might be Bakugo feeling challenged by the boy.

Tsuyu Asui had a faint blush on her cheeks as she quietly croaked and stared at the boy, thinking, 'He's…h-he's cute…kero…'

'Oh-hoo-hoo…Ordinary/Plain Hot is what he is…Mina want…' Mina Ashido had a hungry look as she thought that, looking at the boy's handsome face and, taking a page out of her hardheaded friend's page, manly muscles…and she liked what she saw a lot.

'He's even more handsome than I thought, now I've gotten a better look at him. Please tell me he's single…' Toru Hagakure fidgeted, the fact she was invisible pretty much all the time making it a little unclear to others what she was thinking.

Kyoka Jiro blushed a deep crimson as she was not prepared to meet the handsome boy, thinking while making a small, sheepish smile, 'I wouldn't mind being in a relationship with him…'

Jiro blushed even more once she caught what she thought, hiding her face with her hands and earphone jacks as she reprimanded herself, 'W-w-w-wait! Wh-why did I think–…No, Kyoka Jiro! Don't act like that purple pervert! Don't be a fucking hypocrite!'

Ochako Uraraka's face was beet red as she saw the boy behind Vlad-King, thinking, 'W-wait! Has this school always had a guy that hot? Wait! Why did I think that?! I-I-I m-mean, sh-sh-sure, he is, really, REALLY attractive…b-but I can't afford to be in a relationship right now, especially if D-Deku notices me looking at…'

Ochako soon caught her train of thought and blushed deeper as she questioned, 'H-H-HUH?! WH-WH-WHY DID I THINK THAT?! I SWEAR, ME, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!'

The young girl soon covered her face in sheer embarrassment, unintentionally activating her quirk and Ochako started floating away.

Izuku noticed and said, "U-U-Ur-Uraraka! You're floating away!"

Everyone noticed and tried calling to the young girl as she floated away, but she was caught in a feedback loop within her confused mind and couldn't heed her friends' words at all. Tsuyu was about to jump and stretch out her tongue to catch her before she floated away, but something rushed past her to reach Uraraka.

Ochako Uraraka soon remembered her surroundings and noticed she was a good 40 feet in the air. She nearly panicked at her predicament, but then she felt someone grab hold of her. Uraraka looked and saw that it was the 1-B boy all the girls stared at, and she then noticed he was holding her like a princess.

"You might want to deactivate your quirk now. I noticed a small pink flash come from your fingers once they touched your face…" the boy said with the most friendly and gentle smile Uraraka had ever seen, with an equal tone to both.

"Y-y-yeah…" Ochako stuttered red-faced as she pressed her fingers together and deactivated her quirk. She felt really embarrassed over this.

"Re-release…" the brunette girl said as she soon felt gravity's pull, but she noticed that they were still descending at a steady pace. It took a moment for Uraraka to realize that this boy was actually flying. Legit flying, like a pre-quirk superhero from comic books.

Once the two were on solid ground, the boy gently put Uraraka down on her feet, the boy said, "Might want to stick with your green-topped friend over there from now on…"

Uraraka merely nodded in compliance and soon walked quickly to Izuku's side, ignoring the obvious possibility that she was blushing up a storm. And she was too absorbed in her thoughts to acknowledge Izuku's worry if she was alright.

Tsuyu, Yaoyorozu, Ashido, and Hagakure, had jealous auras surrounding them over the fact that Uraraka was princess-carried by the handsome young man.

"Holy crap! Did he legit fly?!" Kaminari exclaimed in surprise as Sean Hashimoto walked up to Class 1-A.

"Yes, he can fly…moving on…" Aizawa said in the most bored tone possible, "I want to know where Parker stands with the rest of the class. And given how Hashimoto has similar capabilities as her, he'll be joining the Quirk Apprehension, along with the rest of Class 1-B."

"But, as we are pressed with time, only the five top-scoring placements for each exercise in 1-A will participate against our new transfers. These two have set a new bar for all of you to climb, so if none of you can match Hashimoto or Parker, I will begin expelling you from the Hero Course, no deceptions this time…" Aizawa grinned sadistically, to the forty students' collective fear.

Vlad King, while still skeptical of including a pair of vigilantes in U.A., his hands were tied because of Nezu, so he rolled with it. Adding, "Aizawa-sensei asked me to have Class 1-B join us in this Quirk Apprehension, so what he says about 1-A also applies to our class. So you better take this seriously…"

The twenty students of Class 1-B grew pale as the chance of being expulsed from U.A.'s Hero Course very much applied to them. They began complaining about it, until Aizawa shut them up. All forty students were presently unaware of a plan that both homeroom teachers, and the transfers cooked up for this test.

'I mean, it's a little mean to actually expulse those who worked hard to earn a spot in U.A.'s hero course. But, if Aizawa is serious about this plan, then I better see who really has potential, and who does not…' Sean thought as he cricked his neck.

Aizawa then said, "We will start with the Distance Run. Iida, as you had the highest score, your record is the most on the line. Hashimoto. Parker. You two join Iida at the starting line."

The pair looked at each other and shrugged as they lined up beside the speedster, soon joined by the remaining four of the top scores for this test, and several of Class 1-B's students.

"A pleasure to meet the both of you, I am Tenya Iida…" The class representative spoke to the transfers, particularly Sean as he readied in a runner's stance.

"The feeling is mutual, Iida," Sean smiled as he responded, "Sean Hashimoto, the pleasure is mine…"

There was a subtle dialogue that went unspoken between the two, Iida knew the truth about the transfers. They were the vigilantes who rescued the rest of his class from the League of Villains, and they both hailed from another reality. Sean knew Iida was pretending that this was their first encounter with each other and played along, being as respectful to Iida as he was to him.

"No hard feelings if we don't go too easy?" Sean asked with a slight competitive smirk, to which the bespectacled boy replied with the same smirk, "Not at all, I would be insulted if you did go easy."

"Then it's a challenge! May the best win!" Rosa added with a fire in her eyes, joining in the competitiveness.

30 Minutes Later…

---

"H-ho-holy shit! You two are freaking monsters!"

Mineta said that with overwhelming dread once the last of the quirk assessment test of both Hashimoto and Parker concluded, and like the prior tests, the transfers completely shattered Class 1-A's records, and even made their overwhelming records from the previous assessment look paltry by comparison. A sentiment shared by most of his classmates as they looked at the two transfers with gobsmacked expressions, but the midget was paralyzed with fear under the idea that crept in his mind over what Rosa would do to him if he ever got her pissed off, thinking on her grip-strength test results. Rosa and Sean straight-up crushed the grip pedometers in their grasp, and he did not want to imagine what would happen to him if he were in their grasp…

Especially since according to Aizawa, the pair of transfers had a grip strength equal to car crushers before the sensors topped out.

The only record Sean and Rosa couldn't beat was the Ball Throw, with Ochako Uraraka's quirk hitting Infinity like before, but Sean and Rosa definitely surpassed everyone else by an overwhelming landslide. Everyone was still shell-shocked that Sean threw his ball twice, the first he was showing considerable restraint and still had a distance that was twice the size of Mount Everest. The second time he did put in more effort, the ball straight-up disintegrated into pieces with the force he threw it at and created a crater in the ground from the force of his throw, which Aizawa remarked was actually impressive control for the boy's part.

Everyone's records, besides Uraraka's ball-throw record, were completely shattered beyond repair by the records Sean and Rosa made. What made everyone even more impressed (or intimidated for some) was what the pair revealed about what they demonstrated…

"You weren't even using your quirks when you were doing all of that?! That was all because of some training you went through?!" Kirishima exclaimed, but then bowed to Sean and Rosa's feet, "SO FREAKING MANLY! Teach me your ways, O' gods of manliness!"

Class 1-B's metal copycat of Kirishima, a boy named Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu, joined Kirishima in the act as well. Saying, "Teach me as well! I want to be as tough and manly as you, Hashimoto-sama!"

"Well, we have been using our power throughout the assessment, but they aren't our actual quirks…uh, Kirishima-san, right? It's not a sort of training you could dive into like a book or game. It requires a great amount of commitment and discipline…" Sean said nervously as he was aware of all the looks the girls in 1-A & 1-B were giving him once the test was done. He even noticed how a few of them were trying to make themselves enticing to him, with seductive smiles and winks, which made the young man uncomfortable and worried.

Rosa hid her possessive, jealous side pretty well as she added, "Yeah that power we used was a result of very intensive training we did before coming here. You might even say what we did is what a Quirkless person could do if they had the proper teacher to show them how…"

Sean knew what his wife was feeling about pretty much all the girls crushing on him, she had to fight plenty of other girls off to be the one to win his heart back home. She was the pretty jealous type, and Sean was okay with it as it was part of what made his precious love, herself. He reassured her telepathically, which did help Rosa relax her nerves a little.

Sean sighed as he pointed to Uraraka and said, "Still, pretty hard to beat that girl's infinity record as she could manipulate gravity and have the ball go on indefinitely."

Ochako was a little embarrassed and took a bit of pride that, despite the monsters the new classmates turned out to be, they couldn't beat her record (especially as it was the only one not broken by the pair), as most of Class 1-A congratulated her feat.

Izuku expressed with a wide smile, "That's amazing, Uraraka! Your record in the Ball Throw was the only one Hashimoto-san and Parker-san couldn't beat!"

Uraraka couldn't understand why it was, but something about Izuku praising her like that made her feel happier than she thought. Somehow, his praise meant a lot more to her than everyone else's.

Bakugo looked utterly defeated, insulted, and bitter. To him, it was bad enough he was upstaged by Deku and several others of the "extras" in his class. Now, he was humiliated by the monstrous power of the foreign transfer students Nezu himself invited. What made it even worse for him was it was clear that besides not using their Quirks, they were restraining themselves for whatever reason, and that just made it more humiliating. He figured they were strong on that nugget of information about Nezu asking them to come to U.A. alone, but he was not prepared to see them make freaking pro-heroes look inadequate by comparison. He was beginning to harbor doubts that he could surpass the pair, especially 1-B's newest student, Hashimoto. He shook himself as he would not stop trying to surpass the pair, and he would prove he was number one at the Sports Festival…

"I understood you wishing to use restraint with using your quirks while relying solely on the training you two experienced prior. And due to your concerns regarding you using them for these exercises, I will accept you not going all out. But the next time we do a Quirk Apprehension Test, I expect the two of you to go all out…with you using your quirks and the full extent of your training…" Aizawa remarks with a calm expression.

Rosa nervously replied with a slight sarcastic joke, "Only if you have barricades at the ready in a remote location…"

Aizawa replied, "Given what I had seen in the tests you two took to enroll, that is a fair request…"

The forty students looked at the teacher and the two transfers with gobsmacked expressions, feeling immense disbelief at what they heard. Even more in disbelief once they saw the new rankings factoring in all of Class 1-A and Class 1-B. Sean was top of the pack in his class, and Rosa was at the top of the rankings for Class 1-A.

~"Payback for the Transfer Exam, sweetheart…"~ Sean spoke to Rosa with his mind, giving the young woman a barely noticeable, but confident, and smug look.

Rosa was a little more emotive than her husband, but maintained a similar subtly expression as she replied back with a bit of a bite, ~"Oooo! Just you wait, darling! I will beat you and have you crying on my feet for underestimating me. It is on!"~

Sparks metaphorically flew and clashed between their eyes as they continued to spark the competitive fire only seen in rivals seeking to prove who was the best between them. But, the two then laughed at the silliness that a married couple is made up of friendly, yet competitive rival Pokémon Trainers. The cause of the competitiveness and taunts was soon apparent when the two classes' ranks were merged together with an overall score, Sean edged out as the pinnacle of the ranking board. Rosa was close behind by a very close margin, and everyone's scores fluctuated or remained consistent. Izuku saw he was still at the bottom, a bitter pill to swallow, especially as Aizawa said there was no deceptions this time. There will be expulsions this time around.

Aizawa then pressed a few buttons on his phone and around 15 names were highlighted of the forty-two ranks. Saying, "Consulting with Sekijiro-sensei, these highlighted names are who we are expelling from the Hero Course."

Izuku was ready to break apart as he saw his name among the fifteen highlighted names Aizawa said were expelled from the Hero Course. The other fourteen students were breaking down themselves hearing this and were about to beg Aizawa to reconsider, until…

"I am not entirely sure how this school runs, but I believe there is a mistake in your decisions, Aizawa-sensei, Sekijiro-sensei…"

Everyone turned in surprise to see that the voice that spoke up, was the one on top among the forty-two students. It was Sean who spoke up.

"A mistake? How is our decision a mistake?" Aizawa asked quizzically, his eyes and expression denoted a feeling of annoyance to everyone's impression.

Sean answered with an assurance that actually impressed all the students, "You know hero work requires more than just 'having a Quirk suitable for hero work' or that excuse. Hero work requires the proper mindset as well, to not just assure innocent people that things will be fine, but to inspire people to change for the better by example."

Sean paused and looked over to the forty students before continuing, "While having a good Quirk helps, it should not be the 'be all, end all' of qualifying on who is a hero. Some people you and Sekijiro-sensei chose to expel actually have really good qualities personality-wise that are needed to set more positive role models for people to follow. A few you didn't choose, on the other hand, have problematic personalities unsuitable for a future public servant. But, I see potential, and a capacity to change for the better, in all of them. So, expelling them right now would be a waste. I would keep a close eye on several students I pointed out who have troublesome personalities, but otherwise, I believe anyone can change, and change for the better."

When Sean said that, everyone felt a mix of emotions, some even beginning to wonder who among them had the 'troubling personalities' he just described. Most of Class 1-A then looked at Bakugo with curiosity, as the boy felt called out, but dared not say anything to draw more unwanted attention.

Rosa added while raising her hand, "I agree with him. Especially as I noticed that some people are putting in the effort to get better, but have probably had middling results due to having difficulty mastering their power. But a few are consciously holding back their full power, I don't know why, but to those purposefully holding back their power, and not in a clever way like a few, they have more reason for their placement in the Hero Course to be called into question…"

Shoto Todoroki tensed up as he felt, somehow, he was directly being called out by Parker. But, before he could even lightly react to this, Rosa said words that cut like a butcher's knife with a sad expression…

The girl spoke in a down tone, "Being a hero is being a protector of innocent people who cannot defend themselves, and inspire others to be better people. When you hold back when lives are on the line, if innocent people die because of it, their spilled blood is on your hands. You might as well be the one to kill them yourself, like the criminals or disasters you failed to stop. I've seen first-hand what happens to people when you have the power to help others, but do nothing. It eats away at you like a parasite, killing you slowly, until the pain becomes too much to bear…"

The transfer student thought in her mind, 'Okay, I think using your story Peter, will get the point across…'

Rosa looked like she was recalling a bad memory as she said, "I knew someone who lost a family member to a criminal because, they didn't know it at the time, they allowed the criminal to walk away after said criminal committed a crime. They did so under the belief that 'it is not my place to stop them', an action that seems even more pervasive here in Japan. This criminal killed the man who raised my friend like a father, even though he was his nephew, and it tore him up to drive him into seeking vengeance. He didn't find out the criminal he was chasing, was the same guy he allowed to walk away, until he had the murderer under his mercy. It shocked my friend to his core, and in his shock, the criminal ended up accidentally killing himself by tripping on a pipe or something and fell five stories onto his back on broken-up concrete. He was devastated that he had the power to easily stop this crook, but let him walk away to kill his uncle. He ended up becoming a good-natured vigilante on a mission to not allow anyone else to go through what he went through. But, I haven't heard from my friend in so long, I am afraid of the possibility he isn't even alive anymore…"

Rosa told a half-truth by recounting some details she knew of Peter Parker aka Spider-Man (or a hodgepodge of his variants' origin stories), an ally of the trainers part of this group they were in. She only lied about not hearing from Peter for a long while, but to get her point across, she used her own memories of a traumatic event she went through. She looked to see the horrified expressions of almost everyone once she told the story of her friend. Even Aizawa and Vlad King looked surprised over this, and they knew of this ahead of time.

"Oh my…" was all Momo Yaoyorozu said, hands over her mouth as she heard this heartbreaking story.

"How horrible…" Hanta Sero remarked, looking a little upset himself as he imagined being in the place of this friend of Rosa's.

Rosa finished her words, "My friend got what he wanted, the man who killed his father dead at his feet, but it didn't make him feel better. It only made him feel worse, remorseful as he realized too late he should have saved him. There were witnesses who said that, while he did beat the tar out of this killer, the killer's death was a self-inflicted accident. However, the incident did trigger a few copycat vigilantes motivated by similar circumstances that followed through with killing criminals, and just made things harder, and even affected my friend's neighborhood with the people being afraid of not just the criminals, but pro heroes working there as well…"

Izuku heard this and then chimed in, "Wait! I remember hearing about this situation. It was a big deal online about nine years ago, around New York City. The "Hero Repeal Situation" brought about by a vigilante seeking out a killer and the killer's death prompted similar cases caused by other, more extreme vigilantes eager to stop criminals from hurting any more people. I don't remember the vigilante who started this, but further details were sparse to begin with…"

Rosa sadly smiled as she confirmed, "Yeah, I was around when that was happening, and my friend was the vigilante who triggered that incident, but, I forgot his name or what he looked like. My memories of that time were spotty at best…"

Aizawa sighed as he said, "You raise a valid point with that little story, Parker. Inaction is the same thing as harming others, but cases like that are tricky to determine the right call. It's important to be attentive, and with what you and Hashimoto have said, you are correct. Hero work requires more than just 'having a good quirk', it needs the right mental fortitude. And all you students need to take to heart what they said about setting positive examples for people to follow. As public servants, you can't be squarely focused on hero work as, 'beating up villains', or any other single-minded drive."

Vlad King added, "It could end in disaster if this is the kind of mentality you go in once you become pro-heroes. And not giving your all is the same thing as not doing enough, and when people's lives are on the line, their deaths will be on you, not the criminals', not the disasters'. Yours. Again, these two have made valid points."

"I would also like to point out that sometimes, knowing how much power you give off is important. To learn restraint, you only need to be as strong as you need to be…" Sean added, paraphrasing what was said about Superman to give advice to the students.

The two teachers looked at each other and nodded in agreement as Aizawa said, "Principal Nezu told me he values your opinions greatly, and said that we teachers should listen to you two as your intuitions are rarely wrong, if at all. If you two are so certain about this, then fine, no one's getting expelled this time."

Hearing this, Izuku and the other fourteen students felt immense relief and cheered that they weren't booted. But their cheers quickly died in their throats when Aizawa interrupted them…

"However, you all owe Parker and Hashimoto a great deal for sticking their necks out for all of you. We could have easily expelled everyone in the class due to them speaking up. So do not betray this trust, uphold it by stepping up your efforts in the upcoming Sports Festival, and prove that this trust is not misplaced. Understand?"

All forty students nervously said in unison, "Yes, Aizawa-sensei!"

Sean and Rosa exchanged a quick knowing look with each other and the teachers when none of the other forty students noticed as they recalled an earlier conversation…

~{-Approximately Two Hours Earlier-}~

U.A. High Faculty Room, 6:05 AM (T.S.T.)

"You want us to assist you in motivating Class 1-A & Class 1-B into giving their all for the upcoming Sports Festival?"

Rosa had asked Aizawa and Vlad King this when they asked her and Sean this request.

"Surviving a real villain attack will likely give several students in my class an ego boost if the incident doesn't have other negative implications," Aizawa explained, with Vlad King adding, "This also would prompt negative feelings from my class, as Aizawa-sensei pointed out to me, that would need to be tempered…"

The couple looked at each other for a moment, then faced the teachers as Sean asked while folding his arms, "Well, what do you have in mind?"

Aizawa then said, "At U.A., the school's curriculum isn't tethered to traditional education practices. So teachers could largely run our classrooms however they want. We could even expel students on the first day if we wish, depending on how much potential they have."

"That honestly sounds like a huge slap to the face to those who worked hard to even enter U.A.'s Hero Course, especially those who put in a genuine, honest effort. It seems unnecessarily cruel to me, even if you use the 'life is unfair' excuse…" Rosa remarked, which made Aizawa flinch a little.

The insomniac then responded, "That was before you and Hashimoto gave us ideas to implement in future Entrance Exams. They before now had allowed one or two problem children to slink through, which we either expelled or demoted."

"So…You want us to lie to the rest of the class to motivate them into stepping up?" Sean asked, trying to get the topic back on track, which Aizawa did, "Considering your backgrounds and actions, Nezu thought you could provide invaluable insight on the potential of the current crop of students. There's also the factor of you two, especially you Hashimoto, having a really accurate intuition. Your estimates regarding the league have already paid off, as Detective Tsukauchi had already found evidence of the League of Villains having some kind of presence in Kamino Ward. To what extent is yet to be seen, but your advice has been helpful so far, as there seems to be someone else pulling the strings with the league. We are going to weaponize that intuition to further motivate both classes. So, yes. We are going to deceive your future classmates…"

Sean nodded as he guessed, "Truth is we have a friend back home who has a 'hunch' for lack of a better term that is borderline frightening with how accurate his guesses could be. But, as he's not here, you want me and Rosa to effectively call you two out on expelling the students and motivate them to do better as payment for the two of us putting our trust in them?"

Aizawa confirmed, "Yes. We do want your honest input if we have made a mistake or if you detect anyone who doesn't deserve to be in the course. After class, you could tell us full reports on your impressions of everyone…"

"So look out for bad eggs and hidden gems among our future classmates, that's what you're asking Sean?" Rosa clarified, with both teachers nodding yes to confirm their inquiries.

"In that case, I have already noticed two problematic students in your class, Aizawa-sensei. And they are not who you are thinking of. I could tell one had unusually low patience and a high temper that needed correcting immediately. The other is purposefully holding back their strength, which could cause problems in a real emergency. Then, there's one in 1-B who clearly has some kind of inferiority complex that will not help in the slightest and will cause problems in the future." Sean commented, folding his arms.

Aizawa folded his arms as he thought, "I have a feeling I know exactly who you are talking about. They are indeed problematic, and we will have them sorted out."

"We'll let the Sports Festival serve as the wake-up call they need to improve themselves…there is someone in your class, Aizawa-san, that I am interested in. I sense a great deal of potential in them, and I will use the Sports Festival to see what he and others are made of…" Sean said, looking Rosa in the eyes as she nodded in understanding.

The young woman then spoke for the two of them, "Sure, we'll play along. And we will give each of you reports afterward of who we think should stay, and who we think you should consider carefully about their placement…"

~{End of Flashback}~

{-}{-}{-}{-}

"Now it's time for both classes to head back and prepare for your next class. Change back into your uniforms and wait for your next teachers to arrive…" Aizawa said, placing eye drops in his eyes to handle his dry eye.

Everyone walked back to the changing rooms and chatted among themselves. Izuku felt drained of energy after nearly escaping being expulsed from the hero course again.

"Hey, Deku? Are you okay?" Ochako Uraraka asked her friend with a concerned look.

Izuku noticed and replied as she helped him up onto his feet, "Huh? Oh! S-sorry, Uraraka. I'm just–…emotionally drained after nearly avoiding expulsion for a second time…"

"I know what you mean…" Uraraka replied to cheer her friend up, even though she was not among the 15 names Aizawa and Vlad King selected for expulsion.

She continued, "I know that life is supposed to be unfair, but I think Aizawa-sensei is taking it too far…"

"Don't let him hear you say that, it might end with expulsion…"

Uraraka let out a startled squeak as she jumped away from Izuku and looked behind to see the voice belonged to Sean. The girl then started to blush a bright red, both in embarrassment at the noise she made, and remembering Sean holding her bridal-style as he helped her down from the air. Both in tandem made Uraraka cover her cheeks and rush like Iida to the changing room because she felt so embarrassed and didn't want either Midoriya or Hashimoto to see her flustered face.

Izuku had tried to reach out to calm and assure Uraraka, but she took off so quickly that he didn't have the opportunity. He then turned to see Sean look at him with a friendly smile, as the 1-B student asked…

"You are…Midoriya, right?"

Izuku was initially confused at that, but then he remembered the cover of both Pokémon Trainers, and replied nervously, "Ye-ye-yeah, th-that's me…"

Sean then said, "I figured, I sensed a great deal of power from your class, and that most of it was coming from you. I am Hashimoto Sean. I saw your ball throw and could feel the full scope of the power behind it. There's a great deal of untapped potential within you. If you want, I could show you how to tap into this wellspring within you."

Izuku was pretty shocked as he then began to wonder, is Sean offering to train him? But, before Izuku could inquire about it, Sean continued, "However, I need to see what you are capable of first. The upcoming Sports Festival is a good way to show what you are capable of to me. But, this is not a decision you should make lightly. So, I encourage you to think about your decision before you give me a response."

Sean bowed as he finished his words, "Other than that, I am looking forward to being friends with you…"

Izuku was a little stunned, but he quickly regained himself as he bowed back and replied, "L-likewise, Hashimoto-san. And th-thank you for the offer…"

The two chuckled as they stood up and then gave each other a friendly handshake before going their separate ways to the changing rooms.

U.A. High Classroom 1-A…

April 22nd, 1:05 PM, T.S.T.…

It was around the beginning of an extended lunch break that classes winded down before the afternoon courses.

'Glad Science Class is done…*sigh* I wish Sean was here to help me out, he's always clicked with this subject…' Rosa thought with an exhausted sigh, looking forward to lunch as she worked up an appetite.

Kirishima stretched as he said, "Man, I'm really hungry after that second Application Test. It made me work up an appetite…"

Mina agreed with her friend, saying, "Yeah! I need an extra large serving of rice for lunch. I am starving…"

Uraraka playfully patted Midoriya on the back, as she asked, "What are you going to have for lunch, Deku? I'm gonna get some katsudon…"

Izuku was still quite nervous from getting patted, but he knew she meant no harm as he replied to his friend (who happens to be a girl), "Weh-well…I was thinking of katsudon myself, it is a favorite dish of mine…"

Uraraka subconsciously remembered this detail of Izuku, not sure why that is. But, she smiled a bright bubbly smile as she said, "Cool! We'll have the same lunch!"

As the pair walked out of the classroom, followed closely behind by Iida catching up, Izuku decided to ask Uraraka a question that had been on his mind since the beginning of the school year.

"Hey, Uraraka? Why did you want to become a hero?" Izuku asked, with Iida joining in, "I have been curious myself, what is your motivation for becoming a hero?"

Uraraka blanched at those questions, not expecting them, but self-admitted that she should have seen this coming up sooner or later.

She sighed in reply, "Promise you won't be disappointed?"

"Cross our hearts…" Izuku said as he and Iida gestured the promise.

Uraraka took a few moments as she eventually revealed, "I want to be a hero for money. Simple as that…"

"You want to be a hero for money?" Izuku repeated as Uraraka bashfully rubbed the back of her head.

"Yeah. That's the gist of it…" Uraraka said, then looked a little sad as she explained, "My family owns a construction company, but we have fallen on hard times recently, so we are often broke. I want to earn money to give it to my parents so they could take it easy, they even suggested that I could give them a trip to Hawaii once I made enough. They obviously said that when I was little, as a way to lift my spirits, especially when my dad said that they would be happier if I chased my own dreams. But, the Hawaii trip stuck with me, as I want to provide for them as thanks for all the sacrifices they made for me."

Izuku felt touched hearing that, as Iida teared up and started applauding Uraraka.

"Bravo! Bravo! Such a noble goal! I'm so moved! Bravo!" Iida cheered, with Uraraka saying, "Shh! Iida-kun, not so loud! I don't want too much attention."

Rosa was around a corner when she overheard the conversation, her sensitive hearing had overheard everything. She had to agree with the class representative, it was a noble goal to earn money to provide for one's family. She decided to walk up to the trio, which Iida noticed and proceeded to greet her.

"Hey there…I overheard your conversation earlier, and I didn't want to interrupt. Do mind if I join you three for lunch?" Rosa asked, and the trio responded after an initial shock from Uraraka and Midoriya.

"Of course, you can join us Parker-san! We are classmates and we should get along!"

"I don't mind, you and that Hashimoto guy from Class 1-B were so freaking cool, Parker-san!"

"N-not at all, P-Parker-san."

Rosa giggled as she replied, "Thank you, I'm still new here in U.A. High, let alone Mustafu."

Ochako was a little relieved that, despite confirming that Rosa had overheard their whole conversation, she didn't press her about it. But, the poor girl felt a little ashamed of herself when Rosa's presence reminded her of what she and the other transfer student said about heroes being selfless and setting examples. Ochako hid her emotions well, but they slipped like hairline fractures as she began to feel bad about her motivations. Her actions were noticed by Izuku, the boy thinking Uraraka was remembering what Sean and Rosa said earlier about what heroes are supposed to be.

Izuku wanted to encourage his friend, so he began to say, "Hey Uraraka?"

Ochako noticed and responded curiously, "Yeah Deku-kun? What is it?"

"HAA-HAA-HAA-HAAAA!"

Before Izuku could say anything more, a familiar, boisterous, hearty laugh echoed through the hallway, and the four turned to see it came from All Might behind another corner.

"Young Midoriya! There you are! I have been looking for you!" the pro-hero said with a wide smile on his face.

"Ah! A-All Might-sensei! What is it?" Izuku nervously replied.

The hulk of a man held up a bento box wrapped in cloth by two fingers as he replied, "You want to have lunch with me? I have something important to discuss with you regarding your quirk…"

Ochako nearly did a spit-take trying not to laugh at the site of All Might looking like an innocent schoolgirl with his posture.

Rosa giggled as she thought, 'Oh my god! The disconnect between his posture and his appearance is way too hilarious! He would be quite a comedic superhero if he tried…'

Izuku nodded a yes in response, thinking it might be about One For All. But, he remembered what he was about to do before his teacher showed up and said, "I…I'm sorry, Uraraka-san. I was trying to say–…"

The chestnut-haired girl interrupted her best friend by saying, "Don't worry, Deku-kun! It can wait for later. You should talk with All Might, not everyone could say they had lunch with the number one pro-hero in Japan!"

Rosa then added while giving him a reassuring pat on his shoulder, "Besides, if it's that important, you could always join us in the cafeteria after you're done talking with All Might-sensei. I'm sure he will understand."

All Might overheard the conversation and assured, "Don't worry, young man. It won't take long, I promise…"

Izuku nodded in compliance as he walked with All Might, while the three looked at each other and walked to the cafeteria for some food. Sean was nearby and overheard the conversations as well, he figured that All Might had something else to say to Izuku Midoriya. He decided he should get lunch and not worry about it too much.

U.A. High Cafeteria…

April 22nd, 1:15 PM, T.S.T.

Rosa got her lunch from the Lunch Hero, Lunch Rush, and walked to the tables to find a seat. She was fully aware of all the stares she was getting from all the guys, and some girls, over her appearance and maybe the fact she was a somewhat late transfer (and a foreigner to boot, she thought in her mind), and purposefully ignored them. Ochako and Iida noticed and tried to assure her by walking next to the young woman.

"Hey! Parker-chan!" a voice called out, "Over here…"

Rosa looked over in the direction the voice called out to her and saw Mina Ashido waving to her at a few tables Class 1-A was seated at. Both Tenya and Ochako, the latter grabbing the sleeve of Rosa's uniform, guided her to the table while giving her inviting smiles.

"Come sit with the rest of us," Mina Ashido called out loudly, despite Rosa walking closer to the group with Iida and Uraraka guiding her. The three then saw Izuku was already at the table, figuring that the conversation he had with All Might must have been quick, as the teacher promised. They were a little late due to the line the three were stuck in having an indecisive student unsure of what to get, so Izuku must have been in another line that was quicker than the one they were on.

"Are…you sure I can? I…I don't want to impose after–…" Rosa nervously said, deciding that she should act the part of the new kid transferred to school.

"Nonsense, Parker-san!" Iida interrupted her, joining Uraraka in guiding Rosa to the table as he continued, "You are our classmate, and what happened earlier is water under the bridge for all of us–…"

"Like Hell I Would Want To Sit Near That Freak Of A Gaijin!" Bakugo roared angrily interrupting Iida as he picked up his lunch and moved to eat somewhere else. Clearly still upset that both Rosa and Sean vastly outperformed him 'Quirkless' during Aizawa's assessment, growling as he stormed off. Rosa could sense his Ki and could tell the explosive blonde had a severely wounded pride, and he was very agitated.

She sighed as she thought, '*sigh*…There's always "that" guy or girl in every school…'

Iida went off to lecture Bakugo over calling Rosa a "Freak of a Gaijin", but Mezo Shoji said to Rosa, "Never mind him, he'll come around…"

Rosa shook her head as she replied, "I literally don't give a damn about his opinion about me. I don't care, I'm not bothered. I have been called worse before. Life's easier if you simply ignore jerks like him, nothing he could say to me would hurt me. As I said, been called worse…"

Iida bowed as Rosa sat next to Izuku and Jiro, saying, "Regardless, as the Class Representative of 1-A, let me apologize for Bakugo's rude behavior…"

Rosa remarked, "Water under the bridge, I can stand up for myself if I need or want to. If I let jerks like that get under my skin with insults, I wouldn't be here. In Japan, or anywhere on Earth, if you catch my drift. Let him bark like a howler monkey, I'm the bigger person to not stoop to his level. So let the raging Pomeranian call me whatever, I don't care about his opinion of me…"

That is what she said, but inside, Rosa did care a little about being called a Gaijin. Back home, she definitely remembered all the jealous female classmates in her prior high school calling her that, and she knew they meant it in a derogatory manner. But, Rosa had steeled herself as she truly was called FAR WORSE before entering this reality.

If her opinion on being called a Gaijin could be taken down to its most basic form; she really doesn't care if people call her Gaijin nowadays, but it would only serve to trudge up somewhat unpleasant memories of when she did care a little.

Rosa hid this very well, as to her fellow classmates, to where it seemed to the others that she seemed to not give a damn over Bakugo. This served to make her seem very mature to a chunk of the other students, and admirable to all of them present. Bakugo however, felt challenged, and insulted by what Rosa said and called him, he was going to retort loudly to that, but something told him that it would be a pointless effort and that he would end up utterly humiliated if he did retort. So he bit his tongue and simply growled in bitterness over her not caring about his opinion. He was looking forward to the Sports Festival as he found a new target to put in their place.

Yaoyorozu replied after hearing what Rosa said, "My, you really act more mature than most people when they are insulted. I find it quite commendable, as I recall there's that saying; The only opinion that truly matters is your own about yourself…"

Rosa chuckled as she picked up a small clump of rice with her chopsticks and remarked, "You misquoted the phrase, Yaoyorozu-san, but the idea is spot on…"

She soon spotted someone walking past the tables Class 1-A were sitting at and called out, "Oh! Sean! Over here!"

The person she spotted was her husband playing as her boyfriend, as the young man noticed her waving him over, and soon walked over to the table. All the girls of Class 1-A (minus Rosa for obvious reasons) quickly fussed over their appearances before Sean arrived at the table, Rosa was a little annoyed over this, but maintained her composure.

"You called for me, Rosa-chan?" Sean asked innocently, which somehow endeared the girls to him even more.

Mina snapped out of her haze as she quickly realized, "Wait-wait-wait-wait! Rosa-chan?! Parker-chan! You know Hashimoto-san?!"

Rosa slightly smirked as she replied to everyone's intrigue, "Of course, I know Hashimoto, but why that is, well, introductions are in order. Remember when I said I have a boyfriend and he came with me to Japan…?"

Somehow hearing that, made all the guys who had a thing for Rosa, especially Minoru Mineta and Denki Kaminari, suddenly had a feeling of dread and brace for the inevitable disappointment to follow. The girls felt equally apprehensive over the phrase and what it implies. Even hoping it wasn't the case for any of the girls wanting to enter a relationship with Sean.

She got up and walked to Sean, wrapping her arms around his right arm as she led him to sit next to her at the table, and finished speaking, "Everyone, this is my boyfriend that I told you about. This is Sean Hashimoto."

"H-hello again…" Sean nervously spoke, trying to ignore the fact that his wife was wrapping her arms tighter around his arm, making him feel her huge chest. He knew this was her way of making it painfully clear he was off the market to all the girls present, and that she was unavailable to all the guys looking to try and score with her.

Kaminari and Mineta reacted like they got shot with a gun straight into the head. Mineta literally cried tears of blood as he bitterly lamented that Rosa, quite possibly the hottest girl he would ever meet, was the girlfriend of who was clearly the hottest guy if the rest of the girls' reactions were any indicator.

'GOD-FUCKING-DAMMIT! WHY?! I CAN'T COMPETE AGAINST A GUY LIKE HASHIMOTO! I HATE HIS GUTS FOR LANDING A HOTTIE LIKE PARKER-SAN! HOW DID HE DO IT? WHAT THE FUCK IS HIS SECRET FOR GETTING GIRLS TO THROW THEMSELVES AT HIM!?' Mineta cursed in his mind and slammed his fists onto the floor and fell further into despair when he recalled that his new classmate had stated she hoped to marry her boyfriend in the future. Furthering his contemptment of Sean, but given how in love she was, and the reactions of both sets of hero-course girls, he couldn't help but admire him for effectively already having a harem. (Little does the midget know, Sean has zero interest in having a harem, one reason being he already had a harem situation back home, that he wasn't a fan of…)

All the girls of Class 1-A gawked at the reveal Rosa gave, while inside, they were extremely jealous (and a tiny bit heartbroken) of her for being the girlfriend of who was undoubtedly the hottest guy they had ever met.

Mina Ashido, Momo Yaoyorozu, and Tsuyu Asui all looked a little dejected hearing Sean was already spoken for. Especially when Rosa protectively, some might even say possessively, wrapped her arms around Sean to let them know he was her's, and her's alone. Surprisingly, Yaoyorozu took this news the hardest among the three girls, but it was still barely noticeable.

Kyoka Jiro inwardly sighed as she remarked in her mind, 'Dammit! I knew a guy like Hashimoto already had a girlfriend. I didn't realize it was our newest classmate though. Oh well, as they say, there's plenty of fish in the sea…'

'Aww…so Hashimoto-san's off the market? That is very frustrating, and I thought I had a shot at him…' Toru Hagakure thought, pretty disappointed she fell for a guy who already had (in her opinion) a much more attractive girlfriend. And she could tell by this interaction and how Rosa talked about Sean, that the two were in love with each other.

Ochako didn't know why, but she was simultaneously disappointed, and relieved that Sean has a girlfriend already. The latter emotion was what really confused the girl, why was she relieved, the gravity girl asked herself in her mind. But, she didn't dwell on that for long as Kirishima laughed and started patting the male transfer student on the back.

"Damn, Hashimoto! Man, you have earned my respect, landing a woman as hot as Parker-san!" Kirishima remarked as he walked over to give Sean a one-armed, over-the-shoulder hug as he patted the 1-B Student's solid chest.

Izuku and Iida knew the truth about Sean and Rosa's relationship but kept this information to themselves for now until the pair felt like sharing the truth. Izuku knew more than Iida and inwardly began to wonder if he could even keep the truth a secret any longer.

Sean looked up from across the table to see his classmates looking at him in disbelief. He could see how clearly betrayed the girls of his class looked, and how overtly jealous some of the guys were over the fact he was Rosa's boyfriend.

"You! You never told us you were already in a relationship!" a girl with dark green hair similar to Izuku's growled out scooting in between Shoji and Aoyama, and pointed a finger accusingly at Sean.

Sean replied while holding his arms up, palms open, and facing forward, "You never asked, Togake-san…"

Setsuna Togake replied, "Yes we did! We asked you if you have a girlfriend, but you didn't answer!"

"Sekijiro-sensei told us to suit up in our gym clothes and to follow him to the field. He never gave me an opportunity to answer all your questions…" Sean defended himself, sweating bullets as this reminded him of a past situation just like this one.

Setsuna was pulled back by 1-B's Class Representative, Itsuka Kendo, as she apologized, "I'm really sorry about Togake-san, Hashimoto-san. You were right, and we all just forgot to follow up on it."

Kendo hid her own jealousy well, but she quickly accepted that Sean was unavailable, but she couldn't help but admire Rosa's beauty. She wondered if maybe she could seek a couple of tips on how she executes her appearance.

Nieto Monoma huffed in disappointment as he spoke, "Hashimoto is clearly the strongest in the entire school if that Quirk Assessment Test is anything to go by, so Class 1-A used their vixen to seduce our classmate so she could have an advantage for the Sports Festival–…"

Sean interrupted Monoma with an icy stare that sent shivers up their spines as Sean clutched the blonde's throat in his grasp, "For the record, Monoma, Rosa and I have been dating long before we arrived at U.A. I only know of you today, and all I hear from you is 'Class 1-A stole the spotlight, this' and 'Class 1-A is inferior to our class, that' and I am already sick of it, you pompous little piss-stain…"

Sean brought the boy closer to his face as he clenched his hand, choking the boy enough to not suffocate him, but enough for Monoma to shut up, as Sean continued, "You say this just because Class 1-A was at the wrong place at the wrong time, they got on the news. Nezu informed me and Rosa about the USJ Incident when we were in his office yesterday when I asked him about it."

Sean gave a thinly veiled threat as he glared into Monoma's eyes, "I want you to think really hard about what I am saying. Do you think Class 1-A is the least bit happy that they were targeted by a bunch of criminals, the criminals being there to kill All Might, they have a monster designed to fight All Might, and the criminals decided to kill some of them to break the Symbol of Peace's spirit for All Might not being there. And if it wasn't for the mysterious black and white vigilantes, two of the teachers could have been seriously injured or worse, and the same for them had this 'League of Villains' not been chased away? Because, if all of that equals you being jealous of their five minutes of fame, then you NEED to reevaluate what you think being a hero is, and that you should just pack up your things and get the F out of U.A.! Because of this 'rivalry,' you are trying to start borders on straight-up hate-hazing, which is a very UN-HEROIC thing to do, I would sooner have your ass expelled, or straight-up kill you myself. Heroes are meant to be above petty rivalries, to protect those who can't protect themselves, and inspire people to be better."

Sean sighed as he continued, not letting go of Monoma's throat, "I am fine with a small rivalry for the sake of trying to better oneself, but if you ever insult my girlfriend, I don't care about school rules, because I will send you home with a severed arm shoved up your asshole. This school has a very strict 'no bullying' policy, and what you are trying to start is flat-out bullying, liable to you getting expelled if you are not careful. Whatever hate boner you have for Class 1-A, leave me and my girlfriend. Out. Of. It. Do I make myself clear, Monoma?"

Everyone watching this felt their pulses run cold over this, and the intense aura surrounding the young man. None felt more terrified than Nieto Monoma (the guy the aura was directed at), trembling with a terrified expression on his face, like he just saw the Grim Reaper in front of him. If the assessment tests from earlier were any indication, Sean was someone he did not want to make an enemy out of (and to a slightly lesser extent, Rosa as well.) So, he swallowed his wounded pride and nodded yes in compliance.

Seemingly satisfied, Sean released his grip on Monoma's throat, the blonde boy dropping to his knees and coughing up a storm as he took on more air than he was permitted.

Sean placed a hand on Monoma's shoulders as he spoke gently, "Learn not to be a jerk, Monoma-san. They never win. Instead of accusing 1-A for getting the spotlight, ask if they were okay after surviving, basically, a terrorist attack. That is what a real hero would do, not harbor jealousy for getting a few minutes of fame."

Monoma looked at Sean with fear in his eyes, but listened intently as Sean finished, "You want to prove you are hero material? Be compassionate without being condescending to others. It's tough, but if I can do it, someone who holds onto grudges like a stubborn ox, you surely could do it."

Monoma simply got up and wordlessly walked back to his class' lunch table. Leaving everyone speechless to the clear threat on his health Sean made to Monoma, but also struck by what he said about heroes.

Iida managed to realign himself as he began lecturing Sean, "While I commend you for giving helpful advice, I must question if it was really necessary for you to threaten to harm your classmate, Hashimoto-san. Especially after talking about how the school has a strict no-bullying policy…"

Sean turned to Iida and replied, "If it prevents more troubling problems from cropping up in the future, then I am fine with being a hypocrite. His mentality needed to be nipped in the bud, as this odd dislike he has for your class could easily spiral to a point where there might be pranks levied that are liable for expulsion or something…" he sighed as he continued, "I just could tell it will create more problems than any of us, or the teachers, would like. And if our homeroom teacher tries to fan that flame, I'll nip that bud as well."

"Y-you would threaten your teacher?!" Iida balked in surprise as Rosa replied to the question, "He's got a point though, a rivalry like that has no place in pro-hero work if it goes too far, as it just makes things harder in the long run. Especially if the rivalry devolves into squabbling and bitterness. Sean is more concerned about the mental health of all of us, and the potential lives at risk when you guys go out on the field, and whatever Monoma was trying to start definitely would affect all of us negatively."

Rosa then looked at the students of Class 1-B and said with a light bow, "I have no problems starting a rivalry in terms of competitive avenues for the sake of bettering one's self. And I hope that you won't show any animosity to me and my friends, as I won't show any to you in return…"

Itsuka Kendo was a little surprised at the formal acknowledgment of starting a rivalry purely to better each other. Looking at her classmates, they all non-verbally agreed with Rosa, and as the representative of her class, she felt obligated to accept the proposal.

"Well, in that case," Itsuka replied and bowed at Rosa, "Then I look forward to the opportunity to try and surpass you, Parker-san…"

Rosa nodded as she noticed Itsuka stretch out a hand for a handshake, then said with a smile after accepting it, "Agreed, I look forward to you attempting, but I will not make it easy. Also, I know about Japanese naming conventions, and while I am accepting of them, only when all of you feel ready, you may call me by my given name. I honestly prefer that over my family name…"

'Especially since I am not really fond of using my maiden name after finally marrying my beloved Sean…' Rosa thought internally as she and Kendo shook hands.

Itsuka nodded as she affirmed, "Right…I read you…"

Rosa sighed as she said, "Well, I honestly hope to make friends with everyone, so why don't we all have lunch together? It would be better to forge comradery now for the future…"

Itsuka accepted the invitation as some of Class 1-B sat with most of Class 1-A, and the students all chatted with each other as they ate. Amusingly, everyone was slightly gobsmacked when they saw Sean eat about five servings of a full-course meal, and go back to get more food. Rosa explained that some days, her boyfriend has the appetite of a full-grown dinosaur and eats as much, it doesn't happen often, but she is prepared for such times. That statement ended up leading to Mina asking if she meant what she believed the transfer's statement implied, which Rosa reluctantly confirmed that she and Sean were staying in the same place. That earned some more envy from jealous guys like Mineta at Sean, as Rosa confirmed she has made meals for her boyfriend, meals he sometimes makes for her. This also earned some jealous thoughts in the girls of both classes over Rosa's relationship with Sean.

Izuku used this opportunity to ask how some of Class 1-B's quirks worked, which took a bit of convincing from them to divulge that information, at least partially with the upcoming Sports Festival in mind. Sean showed clear interest in Izuku's intelligent mind, to everyone's observations, with some noting Sean's interest in Izuku, was like the boy was in an audition for something. Why that is, is anyone's guess as far as they're concerned.

Eventually, the lunch break ended as everyone readied for their afternoon classes. Everyone readied to say farewell for the rest of the day, Sean and Rosa being as close as the school would allow, and maintaining their cover regarding the true nature of their relationship.

"Hey Kendo-san?" Rosa inquired to the representative of her boyfriend's classroom, "Can I trust you and the others in your class to keep Sean focused on the class material and help him out a little? He has a habit of spacing out, especially as Math is the subject he struggles with the most."

Sean grabbed his girlfriend's hands from his face as he remarked in an offended tone, "Oh, great! Way to throw me under the bus, Rosa-chan! What are you, my mom?"

Rosa retorted with a huff and hands on her hips, making her look like a mom as she replied, "Sometimes, I feel it necessary to be the stand-in for your mother, Sean. You have your downsides in terms of social situations, and more often than not, I have to take care of you like I am your mom…"

That made some of the students of both hero-course classes snicker and laugh, especially as Sean's body language indicated that what Rosa said was true. Which only made some laugh even more, to the young man's embarrassment.

"Cleaning the dishes, making healthy meals, folding the laundry, the Math kerfuffle, need I go on?" Rosa continued as she raised an eyebrow, "Well?"

Sean nervously remarked, "Y-yeah…but I at least do the grocery shopping, getting the laundry washed, put the dishes away, and make the beds…right?"

Rosa let out a chuckle as Mina exclaimed, "Ooo! He does the laundry cleaning and grocery shopping?! Keep a hold on your man like a vice, Parker-chan! Do not let that husband material go!"

Rosa jolted at Mina's bold statement, and Sean tensed up a little as well. Both of them were inwardly worried about how much they sounded like a married couple to arouse suspicion. Kyoka Jiro noticed their accelerated heartbeats, thanks to her quirk's sensitivity, and was a little curious about the pair, and why they reacted like that.

Rosa regained her composure first as she said to her boyfriend with a slight lovestruck smile, "Yeah, your pros far outweigh your cons. And I still care about you despite your flaws, so I wouldn't trade you for anyone or anything. Well, good luck, darling…"

Rosa proceeded to kiss her beloved on the cheek, which earned small squeals of excitement from several of the girls, and cries of frustration and jealousy from several guys from both their classes.

Setsuna Togake felt the need to tease Sean as payback for not answering the question he was asked before Vlad King had them get into their gym clothes and head to the track field. So tease him she did…

"Don't worry ma'am! We will look after your little boy as if he was our own child. We'll make sure he doesn't flunk Math…"

Sean turned his shocked and embarrassed gaze at Setsuna, who was laughing up a storm at the face he made, soon joined by everyone laughing hard. Even Rosa giggled at that bit, and decided to play along while telepathically assuring her sweetheart.

"Okay then, I will be there to pick him up after school. I apologize in advance if he causes trouble for you all. You be a good boy now, sweetie. I love you…"/~"Don't worry too much about the teasing. To be fair, my concerns do make me sound like a mother, because, technically, I am a mother. It does not make you any less of the man I married months ago…"~

Rosa then patted Sean's head as he tried to fight down a growing blush of embarrassment, which with what his girlfriend said and did, only earned more laughter from their classmates at the light-hearted teasing.

Sean eventually replied to his wife, speaking with a slight mumble, "Y-ye-yes ma'am…and, I lo-love you, t-too…"

Deciding to get back at his sweetheart for joining Togake in teasing him, he grabbed Rosa's hand by her fingers gently, used his other arm to pull her closer to him (like he was going to do some kind of dance with her), then kissed her hand like a gentleman. That earned squeals of delight and excitement from pretty much all the girls, and left Rosa a little speechless and embarrassed, especially when she let out a tiny squeak like a mouse in surprise as he pulled her closer to whisper into his love's ear.

"Payback for the teasing, my cute little mouse…" Sean whispered into Rosa's ear, which earned a frustrated huff from her as Sean and the rest of Class 1-B headed back to their classroom.

'Oooh, that infuriating man! He knows better about me squeaking like a mouse, and how I hate it when he makes me squeak! So frustrating! *sigh* And yet, I still wouldn't trade him for anything…' Rosa thought as she tuned out her classmates talking about her relationship with Sean.

{Approximately Two Hours Later...}

Hero Course Classroom 1-A

April 22nd, 3:20 PM, T.S.T.

"Hey! What are these guys doing in front of the door?" Ochako Uraraka asked, as everyone in Class 1-A stood in front of the door.

Rosa was silent as she could sense immediately long before what Uraraka ended up revealing beforehand, standing in the hallway by the door, there were a lot of students from other classes blocking the doorway, some glaring at the students of 1-A with discerning eyes.

"Uh…" Izuku began to ask nervously, "Could we help you?"

Sato spoke up, "Hey, could you guys please move so we could get out to our next class?"

"They're here to scout out the competition…"

Everyone in Class 1-A turned in the direction of who spoke up, and it came from Bakugo as he continued in a calm (especially for him) voice…

"…Aside from the transfer, we were the first and only class who survived a real villain attack. So we already have a leg up on the competition as far as combat is concerned. Now these loser extras can see who is the best here at U.A.…"

When Bakugo said that the students standing in the hallway began glaring in anger (though some of the mass were briefly struck by the appearance of Rosa, before regaining their senses), with Izuku nervously telling Bakugo that he was painting targets on the classroom's back with that comment. A voice among that crowd then spoke up…

"So Class 1-A is full of jerks with overblown egos…?"

The voice belonged to a boy with purple hair and a face that some (even Rosa) noted, made him a dead ringer for a younger version of their homeroom teacher.

The purple-haired boy continued, "You know, some of us had to apply to general studies because the practical favors flashy quirks. I couldn't make it in because my quirk was insufficient for that test, so I had to resort to a backup plan. But, U.A. has opportunities for us to get bumped up to the hero course, and in turn, have opportunities to remove you from the hero course…"

The boy gave the students of Class 1-A a serious glare as he proclaimed, "Consider this my declaration of war. Because one of your seats is going to be mine once I show you, and the world, what I am capable of…"

There was a long pause after that, almost everyone in the hero course was slightly intimidated by this. Bakugo's nerves were tripped and he would've responded in his usual bluster…

*SLAPP!*

But, the sound of a book hitting a desk with considerable force made everyone jolt and turn in the direction the noise came from. It's source: Rosa Parker, the late transfer.

She hung her head low enough for her eyes to be hidden by the shadows of her hair. Her lip quivered into a frown, as she started to take deep breaths through her nose.

"P-P-Parker-san? Is everything–?" Izuku began to ask, but he was swiftly cut off from speaking any further as the young woman spoke up in a voice that cut like a guillotine…

"Declaration of War, huh? Do you know what the actual weight that phrase carries?"

She got up after picking up her book and walked to the door. Bakugo looked ready to respond to what she said, but when he got a look at Rosa's face, his usual confrontational expression morphed into a bewildered, then slightly afraid expression as he wordlessly moved out of Rosa's way immediately. This unnerved the rest of the 1-A students, Izuku especially, as Bakugo rarely ever backed away in fear, but it became obvious as to why, once a heavy aura grabbed hold of everyone.

It came from Rosa as she lifted her face to look directly at the purple-topped general studies student, and all the students by the door started to back away with unnerved expressions, and said declarer of war looked like he was face to face with something dangerous.

Rosa's expression was that of a cold, silent fury that cuts one right to their core, and spoke with an equally cold tone, "War is something that is no laughing matter, I would think Japan would be aware of this considering what happened during the Second World War. You cannot say something like that willy-nilly. You have no clue what a war is actually like. I, unfortunately, do know what a war is like. If you are going to declare war against us, against me, then you better give it everything you got…"

She took two steps closer as most students were locked in place out of fear. Rosa gave the purple-haired teen an ice-cold glare, as she continued, "I will not hold anything back if you are declaring war, and I will make you regret picking a fight with me. In a war, it would be considered a miracle if you made it in one piece, but it always takes something away. If not your body, then your soul, it destroys you. Leaves you a shell of your former self, and torments you for the rest of your life. I know this because I was in the middle of one when I was younger, I've seen people end their own lives because of the torment surviving a war leaves you. That is why you should never use that phrase lightly to others."

Rosa proceeded to grab the general studies student by the necktie as she jabbed, "Another thing, you wanted to be in the hero course? The fact you clearly gave up without even trying to prepare for the practical tells me you are a quitter, and thus unfit to be a hero."

The purple-haired boy seemed to take offense to that, but couldn't reply as Rosa interrupted by continuing her talk, "Do you know what being a hero demands from you? You have to give it your all to protect those who cannot defend themselves. You have to set a positive role model for future generations to meet and surpass. You, CANNOT, Half-Ass being a hero! You give the job everything you got, beyond just 'using your quirk', it demands you give it a hundred and ten percent! Physically, mentally, and emotionally. The power and strength you wield, is a responsibility, because if someone dies, because you did not give your all on being a hero. Their deaths are on you, their blood is on your hands…"

Rosa let go of the boy's necktie, causing him to fall on his butt, a look of bewildered awe on his face. Everyone was equally bewildered, as all the general education students parted like the Red Sea when Rosa walked out of the classroom. Everyone was stunned at the display, and even a little worried about what exactly the transfer student went through before coming to U.A.

Rosa stopped walking away as she added, without looking at any of them, "Being a hero is more than just, getting popular, or stopping the bad guys. It's a job that requires sacrifice, to be selfless for the sake of others, to bear the burden of responsibility. It's standing up for those who face oppression from those eager to keep them down, to not be a bully. It's being strong enough to be gentle, seeking a peaceful resolution before resorting to violence as a last resort, and being a friend to those who really need one. If all you think about being a hero is winning, then how are you any better than the villains you have sworn to stop?"

Rosa walked away and left everyone stuck in the spots where they stood. Some of the general studies students began looking at the floor with guilty expressions, before walking away.

"Need a hand up, Shinso?" one of the students asked the purple-haired boy, now known as Shinso.

"I'm fine…" Shinso waved off as he got up, dusted his butt, then walked away with the rest of the general-ed students, but not before looking at Midoriya.

Bakugo felt called out and told he was no hero, and it infuriated him. Even more so because he hated to admit Rosa was right. He just growled and walked away from the classroom without uttering a word.

The rest of Class 1-A lingered a bit as they tried to make sense of what they just witnessed and take in what Rosa said about being a hero.

They all eventually left the classroom, but Izuku Midoriya was left pondering about what Rosa said. It sounded very personal, and he would not pry into it despite his curiosity, but it made him wonder about what it really meant to be a hero.

'I have to talk to All-Might about this. I have to ask him his opinion about what a hero is…and tell him what Rosa said…' Izuku thought, and then he subsequently jotted down Rosa's words about being a hero in his notebook to not forget to ponder the question.

As Izuku walked down a flight of stairs, he saw Rosa pressing her head against Sean's chest, arms heavy. Sean was patting her back as he hugged her, so Izuku thought that Sean was comforting his wife, after likely telling him what happened.

---

The classes since then were about as memorable as one would deign to remember, though, for both Sean and Rosa, the Hero Studies class was very different from what they knew, especially as the Hero Course effectively replaced the Physical Education Course somewhat. Rosa performed so well on that front that she had the adoration (and jealousy of two particular students) of almost all of Class 1-A. They did almost forget that episode she had when the general studies student, who they learned was named Hitoshi Shinso, declared war on their class and likely 1-B as well. Rosa looked to be much better since then, and it showed in her classes. She was an exemplary team player in team exercises, and utterly dominated any solo exercise, all the while keeping her quirk's capabilities a secret from everyone in regards to the upcoming U.A. Sports Festival. She did the exercises over the few days leading to the festival itself "Quirkless", figuring it would be in the spirit of competition. She also speculated that Sean over at Class 1-B was doing the same and chatting with Setsuna Togake and Itsuka Kendo revealed it was very much the same case for him.

She put in a request for Nezu to spend some free time training somewhere secluded and not easy to reach, with the principal saying he had just the place, while also confirming that Sean had asked him the same thing for his training. Rosa had a feeling that, after reviewing a few past Sports Festivals the school held, she might face her mentor/husband somewhere in the final sixteen, the classic 1-v-1 tournament setting. It reminded her of the Tenka'ichi Budōkai from Dragon Ball, and she had a very strong feeling that among the three known styles of this tournament setting most likely to be used for the First-Years would be the fighting tournament, instead of the foam sword competition used last year for the First-Years.

While at first, she opted to train alone on the first day of the week leading up to the Sports Festival, Izuku Midoriya followed her, seeking to learn a few martial arts skills from her. Rosa, as much as it partially broke her heart to tell the sweet boy, told him that she is not permitted to teach martial arts or Ki manipulation to others, as she is not a master, pointing to Sean being the one he had to look for to actually learn the process and not break the rules of her tutelage. She said she is not allowed to teach Midoriya, but she is willing to be a sparring partner for him, noting her training could only go so far on her own. She offered instead to help teach Midoriya some fighting techniques, like grapples and throws. As they did some sparring, Rosa explained she had a strong idea that Sean may seek to see how far her training has gone and may use the Sports Festival to test her knowledge, so she is seeking to develop her own moves and techniques to keep him off-guard should they clash…

Testing Site Alpha, U.A. High…

April 25th, 8:15 AM, T.S.T.

"Hey Midoriya-san…?" Rosa began to ask him as she handed him a wet towel to wipe off the dust and sweat on him.

Izuku was busy rubbing his arm after getting his butt handed to him during their last sparring session.

The boy noticed as he replied, "Yeah, Parker-san? Gah! I-I-I mean, R-Ro-Rosa-san?!"

Rosa giggled as she handed Izuku his water bottle, then looked to see Nezu observing her Pokémon, specifically her Serperior she named Ellena.

Rosa then continued with the question she asked Midoriya, "…Well there are two things I want to know. First off, and it's the second most important question, why is it when you try to activate your quirk, you always wreck your limbs like that?"

The young woman from another reality pointed to Izuku's slightly bruised hands that were in the process of healing thanks to a Senzu Bean that Rosa had on hand.

"I hope you won't become dependent on these Senzu Beans, we have a limited quantity of them and we have no reliable means to make more…" Rosa added with a deadpan expression.

Izuku flinched as he replied, "O-o-oh-oh-oh! N-no, I know what you mean! I swear, that isn't my intention at all. You see…"

Izuku began explaining his quirk, while hiding its true nature from his friend. Izuku then noticed as he was explaining his quirk, that Rosa was giving him a skeptical look during the explanation.

Before he could ask her anything about that look she was giving the boy, Rosa spoke, "Midoriya, with my experience prior to arriving in your universe, Sean and I know when someone is lying. Also, even though my memory is…imperfect, I know your quirk is more than you say, somehow. And if I know this, Sean definitely does as well, as his senses are better at sniffing out things like this…"

That statement made Izuku, and Nezu nearby, bristle in shock. She somehow knew about One For All, or at least is close to knowing about it. And as she just explained, if she knew, then Sean knows as well as the boy's much more experienced than her.

"I-…I-It's…" Izuku tried to deflect, but Rosa interrupted by adding, "If you are going to say 'It's not what you think or looks like' to my face, then you have proven to me that you ARE hiding something, and my guess was 100% accurate…Besides, I got a good feel of the Ki in this world and noticed an odd factor in it. Everyone's Ki signature is unique, per the course, but it is more unique when it comes to one's Quirks. Parts of your Ki feel exactly the same as All Might's, and I know you are not related to him on any front, meaning you have his exact Quirk somehow. I also sense the Ki of about seven or eight more individuals in you, and if I know this, Sean absolutely knew already…"

The boy lowered his head and arms in defeat, as she got him, he somewhat inwardly cursed Ki for being so poorly understood that it would, indirectly, reveal the true nature of his Quirk passed down by All Might.

Nezu remarked after looking at his paw, "Hmm, it seems that Ki is far more versatile than I thought, and I had a good grasp on how it works, thanks to your husband-, oh, pardon me, boyfriend, telling me much about it."

The principal hummed in thought, thinking that she might know about One For All for a completely different reason that is presently unknown due to the pair's memory problems since their mysterious and unclear arrival to their reality. He considered the possibility that, if their reality was a fictional story in their world, she might know about OFA that way, and likely knew more about it like an all-seeing deity. The Chimera then recalled an aspect of the pair's Dragon powers, specifically their eyes, in that they were best described as being able to "see that which is hidden from human eyes", and the tone indicated it was more mystical. It was the one aspect of their power they don't have complete control over. They were able to see hidden threads that no human alive in their world would ever be able to see, and perhaps this also informed the pair about the carefully guarded secret that is One For All.

He resumed his talk, "Well, we severely underestimated the powers of both of you. And how they work. Well, after the Sports Festival, or a little before, depending on how All Might would approach knowing you two know about the truth of Midoriya's quirk, we would have to include you both in on the secret only a few know about."

He handed Rosa her PokéBalls, and the girl then recalled her Pokémon, then placed them into her magic backpack. Izuku stared at the bag with stupefied confusion (again) as he remembered the kinds of things the two pulled out of the pair's bags, wondering what else they carried inside.

"I understand, Principal Nezu, sir," Rosa said as she zipped her backpack shut, "I'll let Sean know about that oncoming talk with All Might. And Midoriya, as for my second question…"

"O-oh! Right! You had two questions, and you said this one is the most important. But, before you ask it, could you, m-maybe, tell me how I can improve my control on One For All? Th-that's the real name of my quirk, by the way…" Izuku asked as Rosa sat her backpack down beside Nezu.

Rosa thought about it, then asked, "Does it have anything to do with our control of energy?"

Izuku nodded as the Principal stayed silent, observing that the main reason he had the other-dimensional visitors enroll at U.A. was happening right now.

Rosa explained, "I want you to understand that, per my training, I am not able to tell you everything as it counts as teaching. But here's my advice, energy is like a current, much like water. To control the flow of energy means you have to have it flowing like a continuous stream, like a river."

She paused for a moment, and then asked, "How exactly do you visualize controlling your quirk?"

Izuku answered with a slightly questioning tone, "An egg not exploding in the microwave…?"

Rosa felt her eyebrows twitch in annoyance as she gave Izuku a look that said "Really?" without uttering a word. Izuku felt himself shrinking under her gaze.

"That…is not a good way to visualize your power activating…" Rosa responded with a slightly exasperated sigh while shaking her head in disapproval, "If you visualize the energy of your Quirk like that, of course, it will backfire and leave you with messed up limbs. It also does not help that your fighting style is horrendous, it's like you are trying to fight as something you are not."

Izuku recoiled at hearing that, he thought it was a good analogy to use so he could use his power. But hearing Rosa say it was a bad way to imagine the power of One For All, he felt really dumb about it.

"S-sorry…" Izuku meekly apologized, lowering his head in shame.

Rosa noticed his demeanor and replied, "You read any comic books from the pre-quirk era, particularly those with superheroes with energy-based superpowers or tools?"

Izuku looked at Rosa and replied, "N-No, I can't say that I have…"

Rosa explained, "We are effectively living in such a world right now. And while it may not be completely analogous, it is fair to say some of those comics have a pretty good idea of how some superpowers work. But, the thing I want you to focus on is how energy behaves."

Izuku intently listened as the Pokémon Trainer conjured a sphere of energy in her palm she explained, "Energy cannot be destroyed, it can only be contained, dispersed, or change form. It has some properties similar to water. To try and contain it for only short bursts, going from zero to 100 in an instant, well, count yourself lucky you only walked away with just broken appendages. Something even more graphic and violent would happen if that is how you use your Quirk."

Izuku went as white as a sheet hearing that, and since had thanked whatever gods watching over him that the worst he got away with was broken limbs. Rosa's description didn't leave much to the imagination, and Izuku became more determined to control the power of One For All.

Rosa continued her explanation after getting his attention, "You really should use something else to imagine yourself tapping into your power, on top of trying to fight like your a burly muscular man, try a fighting style suitable for your body type. If you are going to use a cooking analogy, how about instead of an egg in a microwave, how about a steam cooker for meat, or a rice cooker? Try gradual increments starting small and then building up from there. Maybe, one percent to start off and spread it out across your whole body…?"

Izuku looked at Rosa for a good while but then furrowed his face in thought over her advice. He began to wonder, a steam cooker, Gradual increase, spread throughout the entire body? And find a fighting style suitable for his body type? To his credit, when explained like that, it made sense. More sense than he realized before.

"Sure, I could give it a try…" Izuku said with a nod, only for Rosa to say, "Do or do not. There is no try. As Jedi Master Yoda says, you either do it, or you don't, trying makes you more likely to give up, especially for what you are trying to do."

The two chuckled as Nezu had already left, but not far as he still listened in on the conversation. He chuckled at the reference to Star Wars, and he left the two students to their devices, knowing what Rosa would ask Izuku now. While a part of him wished to stay, he had a mountain of paperwork to fill out, especially with beefing up U.A.'s Security.

Rosa then said with a confident smirk, "Now that I have given you advice to try out, onto my second question."

Izuku smiled and nodded in confirmation as he braced for what this second question was.

Rosa asked, "Who are you crushing on in our class?"

…

…

Izuku's smile faltered a little as his mind went blank, trying to process what Rosa meant by that. Then, like a switch, he started to get what she was asking as his face started to turn from peach, to pink, then to red.

"Eh?! EH?! EHHHH?!" Izuku stuttered as his face lit up like a Christmas tree, with Rosa clarifying, "Who are you crushing on? You know, who do you have romantic feelings for, go out on a date with, be your girlfriend? Or boyfriend, not judging. I could tell that there's someone really special who captured your heart."

Izuku started blushing a deep red as he nervously tried to rebuff the question, but Rosa would not let him escape because he promised he would answer the questions she asked of him. He relented as he confessed…

"I…I really don't know what you mean by that, h-honest," Izuku explained as he took a deep breath, "I mean, of course, I thought about it more than a few times before. But, what girl would want to date a guy perceived as Quirkless and useless…"

Rosa recognized this behavior, memories of a friend of hers back home who had trouble being honest with her feelings. She felt sorry, but her perceptive nature has clued her in on some of her classmates' personalities and interactions. So using that, she told the ninth holder of One For All…

"I wouldn't be too dismissive on that line of thought, Midoriya. I could tell that there were a few girls in our classroom that do 'like you that way' or are pretty close to it without realizing it themselves…"

Izuku looked at Rosa like she had two extra heads growing on her shoulders, exclaiming, "R-really?! A g-ga-girl?! A-are you sh-sure you are not mistaken?!"

"Dead serious…" Rosa said with a soft smile, "I will not tell you who they are, that is for them to confess to you for. Or you them. And I can assure you that Sean and I are not the only ones who value you and your life. You have a lot of people you can consider your friends. I'll confess that you are a really cute and sweet boy, but that is as far as it goes for me. A few of the girls in our class and, perhaps a couple more down the line, do think of you in a way that would make the little pervert Mineta want to trade places with you and take advantage of…"

Izuku blanched in surprise as his cheeks started to flush a bright red. His mind raced as he wondered, which girls were really that "interested" in him as Rosa said. Then his mind started to focus on that possibility, one girl in particular who, he will admit to himself, is one he gets particularly flustered with. Could she think of him that way? The shape of a girl began to take form in his mind, one of his first friends since coming to U.A.…

Rosa observed her sparring partner's expression, and eased his frantic mind by saying, "Well, if I promise to not tell a soul, not even my husband, would you tell me who was it you were just thinking of? Answering my question, and all…?"

Izuku jolted in shock, his face flushing a deeper red as he asked in a meek voice, "Y-You p-p-promise not to t-t-tell…?"

Rosa gave an understanding smile, and said, "Cross my heart…" and did the gesture.

Izuku uttered under his breath and revealed that he did have an interest in a girl that was in their classroom he was, admittedly, hoping one of the girls Rosa revealed might like him that way. He even confessed to having a small crush on Rosa herself, merely, (and ashamedly he self-deprecated), captivated by how pretty she was before telling her the girl whom he was slightly crushing on's name, Ochako Uraraka. Rosa didn't fault him, and was a little flattered, but reaffirmed her stance on their relationship.

Rosa smiled widely, and said with an excited tone once she heard the girl's name, "Oooh~! She's a cutie! I can see the two of you together, and you two would be such a cute couple!"

Izuku nervously smiled upon hearing this, he admitted he liked this positive reinforcement. He then asked, "But, is she one of the girls you said was interested in me?"

Rosa hummed in thought, and said, "Hmm…Well…I feel that is a question you should ask her yourself, and probably not ask her in that manner. Doing so in that manner is sort of like asking what size your, hmm, 'manhood' is. It would feel a little like a betrayal if I told you if she likes you or not. That is something you have to ask her yourself, okay…?"

Izuku shrunk a little as it made sense, "O-Okay…I understand…"

Rosa then admitted, "But, I will admit that there is definitely a possibility for you and Ochako Uraraka to get together. There is a spark in there. But, whether it happens or not is entirely up to you, Uraraka, and timing. You'll know when the time is right, to actually pursue a relationship. However, when you do, be honest and clear with your feelings. Whether she accepts or rejects them, you will feel better after telling her how you feel. Like a weight being lifted off your shoulders. You would be able to take the next step with her, or be able to move on if not, either way, it wouldn't cloud your mind with uncertainty…"

Izuku nodded and took those words to heart, part of him was afraid that whatever he felt for Ochako Uraraka, wouldn't be reciprocated to him. He had hope because Rosa said that there WAS a possibility, and could succeed if he timed it right. Elsewhere, within the girl's bathroom, Ochako herself let out a sneeze out of nowhere that startled some of her classmates.

Rosa let out a small chuckle, as she said, "Well, for now, that conversation would be best continued for later. We should resume training, so you could try to tap into this power of yours. Let's spar one more time…"

---

After this, All Might was informed about One For All's secret being known by their visitors from another universe. Initially, his jaw dropped to the floor in surprise, especially after hearing how the pair found out. He eventually got over it after a few hours, and on a separate day, both he and Izuku talked about more of the secret and origin of One For All, joined by Rosa and Sean. They were surprised, but could not help but find this conversation eerily familiar for some reason. Sean offered to train Izuku himself to master this power after the Sports Festival, which both Izuku and All Might were thankful for. Sean decided this to get a good gauge of what Midoriya was capable of so far, especially when Rosa had noted that Izuku's fighting style was ill-suited for his body type.

Sean had allowed Rosa to coach Izuku into finding a fighting style better suited to him, saying it was part of her training as well. All Might offered to supervise the coaching and also would ask another teacher when he is unable to. Sean approved as he told the pro-hero what he should be expecting when observing Rosa.

Sean busied himself with further training as he gained more and more attention from everyone in U.A., especially from a third-year boy named Mirio Togata scoping him out. He suspected that this attention he was receiving was likely from both the students of 1-A & 1-B talking about him and Rosa, and the other classes eavesdropping on the conversations.

Sean had been extra-crafty to avoid all the other students looking to follow him for various reasons. Seeking a few tips, studying his moves, the occasional question for a date despite earlier making it clear he was off the market, or Nieto Monoma trying to get him into his over-the-top rivalry with Class 1-A (while the boy wisely left Rosa out of any insult he hurled at the whole class due to Sean's chilling threat…) He impressed Aizawa and Nezu how quickly he was able to avoid all that to meet with them. On top of his solo training at a separate secluded site that Nezu provided, he also decided to teach Class 1-A's homeroom teacher the basics of Ki control. Aizawa was very quick in figuring out Ki, but with little time before the Sports Festival, he was only quick enough to pick up how to sense Ki…

Secluded Training Location…

May 2nd, 11:04 AM, T.S.T.

Aizawa sat in a meditative stance as he outstretched his senses, and soon could feel the Ki signatures of birds and insects in the area, even a stray lizard or two. He even felt the Ki of a few Pokémon Sean had let out to stretch their legs and assist him with the boy's own training. The teacher noted that they felt strong, even for Pokémon despite not knowing what other Pokémon had felt like.

"Hmm…this technique is really handy, not just in gauging your strength to your opponents, but also in tracking enemies…" the insomniac remarked.

Sean folded his arms as he replied, "It is a simple trick to pick up once you figure out how. Once you know the basics, sensing Ki is very easy to pick up, but it has major pitfalls only attributed to those starting out, Aizawa-sensei. If someone could figure out how to lower their power, they could easily vanish from your senses, and it is, unfortunately, a skill that becomes better only through continuous use and practice through training…"

Aizawa sighed as he said, "I figured as much, even though you are standing within my line of sight, I lost track of your Ki signature. I guess you lowered it as much as you did to prove this to me…?"

Sean nodded in confirmation, and said as his Garchomp walked up and rested by his side, "You are the second person in this reality I taught Ki usage to…"

"Second…" Aizawa cocked an eyebrow, "…who is the first, then…?"

"Principal Nezu…" Sean answered, petting his Pokémon on the head, "Tuesday night, I couldn't sleep at all due to…nightmares…and Principal Nezu happened to still be on school premises when I got out of the room. We chatted a bit, and then he expressed interest in learning how to use Ki."

Sean took a sip of water before he continued, "He was a quicker study than you, not only already figuring out how to sense Ki at your current level, but also figuring out how to tap into his Ki reserves, and he can generate it in terms of minor physical enhancements, and even flight. He sees that there's potential in teaching this to the rest of U.A., but I warned him what I am warning you now, Aizawa…"

Aizawa listened as, despite him being a teacher being taught by a student, he had little reason to doubt someone who knew his stuff.

Sean warned, "You are not allowed to teach anyone what I taught you, only when I deem you a master in your own right, are you permitted to teach what I taught you. It's the same warning I gave Nezu, and it's a rule that was taught to me by my own master. Their warnings include the fact that those not properly taught run the chance to lose sight of their goals, destroying their bodies beyond repair, and numerous other things I have not personally experienced, but I would rather not find out…"

Aizawa saw the merits of using Ki and having all of U.A.'s staff and any Hero Course students learn how to use it themselves. But, he understood after learning more about Ki, the downfalls to knowing this power. It could easily be self-destructive in the hands of any impatient or reckless pupil of the discipline, cutting down their hero career long before it actually starts.

Sean sighed as he said, "I had learned from another master of the martial arts since I was named a master myself. He taught me the same way he taught a pupil of his who ended up becoming one of the mightiest warriors in the entire multiverse, no exaggeration there. And taught me the philosophy of his martial arts school, a motto I feel is something worth internalizing for how you go about life…"

Aizawa was curious, so he asked, "You hold this other master in pretty high regard, as his pupil to hold a title that grandiose. What was his philosophy?"

Sean took a deep breath as he laid on his back with his arms behind his head, then quoted, "He said, 'Move well, Study well, Eat well, Play well, Rest well. That is the turtle hermit way…' He was known as Master Roshi, the Turtle Hermit…"

Aizawa hummed in thought over the philosophy, then he quickly figured out the overall meaning behind the quote. He commented, "Hmm, he seems very wise, and I can't help but feel like I've heard the name before…"

Sean had a slightly nervous expression as he added, "Master Roshi is very reliable and wise for his advanced age. But, he has his faults, like anyone else, he could be a bit goofy at times, silly, and he is a perverted old man, about as perverted as that midget, Minoru Mineta. But, he is an effective teacher, and kind, not to mention he gets serious when the world is at stake. He was considered the strongest mortal man on the Earth, and its greatest defender until he retired the position to his much stronger pupils before me. You may have heard of him through a pre-quirk manga called Dragon Ball…"

"Maybe…I'll have to look it up…" Aizawa said, he internally sighed as he needed no further imagination regarding Mineta's questionable and deplorable behavior.

Aizawa got up and said, "Alright, I will heed your warning. I hope you will be able to teach the rest of the school's faculty about Ki, and eventually teach the other Hero Course students of 1-A & 1-B…"

Sean sat upright as he said while recalling his Garchomp into his PokèBall, "Yeah, I still reserve the right to refuse to teach anyone that I deem unfit to learn under me. And I plan to see if the other students could learn, after I do this thing Principal Nezu asked me and Rosa to do at the Sports Festival…"

Aizawa felt his irritation grow as he asked, "What did the rat ask you and your wife to do at the Sports Festival…?"

Sean explained what Nezu asked for the pair to do for him at the Festival, and what he personally has planned to carry it out. Aizawa felt both intrigued, and severely irritated by the plan, but his curiosity got the better of him as he sighed…

"Alright, as much as I am against this idea the boss wanted to enact, I am willing to wait and see. Just, don't go too overboard…"

Sean replied, "No worries, I read the rules ahead of time and can easily manage what I have planned and not break a single rule. And, the day before the festival, Rosa and I are to report to U.A. on Sunday to show the faculty everything about our 'Quirks' for this self-imposed challenge the two of us want to enact. We want to challenge ourselves by imposing a restriction on our abilities for the festival, we got approval from Principal Nezu, and he thought we should run it by you as well…"

Aizawa walked away after nodding, saying that he will think about it on Sunday, while thinking, 'Why the hell are those with power freaking crazy?'

---

The training continued, with Rosa's classmates noticing that she had been actively avoiding her boyfriend during the week. At first, they thought the two were very busy with something in regard to the U.A. Sports Festival, but as the days rolled by, they noticed how little contact the two were having with each other. Sean was hardly seen at lunch at all, with his classmates confirming he was eating lunch alone, and neglected to tell them where he was having his lunch.

Rosa still ate her lunch in the cafeteria and still sat with her classmates. But, the incognito Pokémon Trainer remained quiet and never spoke unless spoken to, and she spoke very little, everyone noticed her expressions were that of someone focusing, thinking, like a chess Grandmaster coming up with strategies. Rosa always wrapped up her lunch quickly, and then took off to report to Principal Nezu before any of them could ask her about her situation with Sean.

So, one day, some of them, led by Mina Ashido, confronted Rosa Hashimoto (neè Parker) shortly after class during lunch, before she even started to eat, to understand what was going on between her and her boyfriend, and what she was thinking about…

---

U.A. High Cafeteria…

May 3rd, 12:30 PM, T.S.T.

"Okay, spill girl. Why have you been avoiding your boyfriend this week?"

Rosa was not expecting Mina to be so forward when questioning her, especially getting in her personal space. The tip of Mina's nose was about two inches from her own, the pink-skinned girl staring into Rosa's eyes, trying to look for the answer the extrovert sought in the Pokémon Trainer's eyes.

"Uh…what?" Rosa replied, deciding to act a little more clueless to Ashido's prodding, having already figured out she likely meant the little pact both she and Sean gave for the sake of training.

"You, Hashimoto, not being the cutest couple that I can't help but ship to the high heavens, even though I personally want to trade places with you so, so, so, so, so, SO Freaking Bad…!" Mina summed up with a tired huff, what her extrovert personality noticed, but couldn't help but feel really confused over whatever context she was lacking about Rosa and Sean's dynamic as a couple.

Rosa commented with wide, astonished eyes, "The fact you said all of that so clearly, without taking a single breath, is astounding…"

Kirishima remarked, "Yeah, once Ashido sets her mind to something, she's pretty passionate about it…"

Rosa nodded, as she saw it wasn't just Mina Ashido who wanted to know. Pretty much all the other girls in her class felt the same in their curiosity (likely thinking the two had a falling out), with a few boys joining in; Tenya Iida, Izuku Midoriya (though Rosa noted he seemed a little apprehensive to be here,) Ejiro Kirishima, Denki Kaminari, Minoru Mineta, and Hanta Sero, the group unaware that Shoto Todoroki & Katsuki Bakugo were nearby and eavesdropping. Rosa knew they were eavesdropping, but presently didn't care if they did or not.

Rosa sighed as she said, "Sean is more than just my boyfriend, he is also my mentor in terms of martial arts. Everything about martial arts I know, I learned from him. He's a kind, yet strict teacher when learning how to fight, and his teachings pay off in dividends, where you suddenly find yourself strong enough to destroy a building with one punch. The training regiments he puts you under to enable you to do that are practically insane, to a level where you would have nightmares for weeks if you are not prepared…"

That statement sent shivers up everyone's backbones as they saw their classmate actually shudder in fear. They were left to wonder, what kind of training was necessary to grant you that raw power, and be nightmare-inducing…

"Ooo…so, I bet you used your goods for him to teach you the good stuff he knows…And to take it easy on you~!" Mina teased with a mischievous smile, squeezing her own chest with her arms to indicate her meaning. Yaoyorozu, Jiro, & Uraraka blushed considerably imagining what kind of training Sean put Rosa under no thanks to Ashido's playful remark. Mineta let his imagination run wild as he imagined the "goods" used by Rosa on her boyfriend, and got ferociously jealous of the young man. Tsuyu Asui slapped the purple pervert's face with her tongue over that fact.

Rosa was very embarrassed at the teasing Ashido directed at her (she was more so embarrassed by the teasing bringing up memories of the times she and her husband had their "nights of passion"), but the young woman maintained her composure. Doing so by recalling her memories of her sweetheart as not Sean Hashimoto; her husband, but Sean Hashimoto; her instructor…

Rosa sighed with a slightly depressed tone as she responded, "Honestly when he's in the mental state of being my martial arts master, I wish I could. But he's very stern, to a point where in that mind space, you could literally strip yourself buck naked in front of him, and he wouldn't even bat an eye over it. I would know because that happened to me by accident once upon a time. He's so indifferent in that mental state, that it kinda feels, insulting, when he doesn't even react…"

Mineta didn't think he could feel even more jealous of Hashimoto, but he was proven wrong. Rosa had all but confirmed that Sean once saw her completely naked, and he didn't react to it at all if her story was true (he is presently unaware that Sean had seen Rosa naked before multiple times, in both of these mindstates Rosa mentioned.) He felt his jealousy bubble and boil like baking soda in vinegar, he wanted so badly to trade places with Sean at that moment.

The girls felt sorry for Rosa, and once they tried to imagine themselves in Rosa's place as Sean's girlfriend, and they stripped themselves buck naked in front of him to get a reaction. They admitted to themselves that they would feel pretty insulted too if Sean did not react whatsoever to the act, as embarrassing as the idea of stripping naked in front of a boy as handsome as Sean was. Of course, Rosa did make it clear that Sean had two mindsets separately from being the affectionate boyfriend they remembered seeing, to this "mentor" persona he has that seems like a dual-personality, but not at the same time.

"Anyways," Rosa said which snapped all the girls out of it, "…All that is to say that Sean likely is planning to use the Sports Festival to see how my training is progressing, and determine if I have learned enough under him or if I still need to learn under him. I told Midoriya this yesterday, it is just a feeling. So to catch him off-guard should we clash, Sean and I agreed to train separately and avoid contact as much as possible for the sake of keeping him, hopefully, on his toes for our eventual clash. Even though we are lovers, the two of us have always been rivals, eager to best the other in competitions like this upcoming Sports Festival. He's always looking to see if others could benefit from his teachings, so be mindful that he might test you all on top of the festival's activities. Everything I can do that I have shown you so far and that he's shown so far to all of us, is stuff he can teach to others. Enhanced strength, durability, agility, flying, all that without using your quirks…"

"Damn, seriously?!" Kirishima exclaimed with a wide grin, "He can straight up teach you how to fly?! Hashimoto's hardcore as fuck! I have one more reason to make a good show at the festival now! If he's willing to take on more pupils to do those things he does, then I want in!"

"I want to learn too!" Ashido peeped excitedly, "I want to fly like he can!"

Ochako said with a big smile of her own, "Me too, me too! I want to fly without using my quirk! He and you make it look so fun!"

Izuku chimed in, "I…I-I want to learn as well. I feel he could help me control my quirk, and keep me from breaking my limbs. And the fact he could teach all of that without a Quirk required, I kinda wished I had met him sooner, when I thought I was Quirkless…"

Rosa saw Izuku needed a confidence boost, so she said, "Well, a controversial topic coming up, but from what I know of heroes, I think you would make a great one, Midoriya-san. Quirk or no Quirk…"

Yaoyorozu was intrigued as she argued, "But being a pro-hero without a quirk is impossible, Parker-san…"

Rosa raised an eyebrow as she quickly asked, "And who says that is so? Really? Without biases…?"

The heiress and the rest of the students were about to answer, until Rosa interrupted them again, "What I know of heroes is this, they are selfless people who go out of their way to help those in need, even if they get nothing in return. Heroes are also clever, they are given a problem and find a way to overcome it. Regardless of how overwhelming the odds are against them, they find a solution, even when there is none, making the impossible, possible…And you do not need a Quirk for that…"

Rosa then faced Midoriya as she said, "From what I know about you so far, and what I have seen, you definitely could have pulled it off, a Quirkless pro-hero…The thing is, I knew a Quirkless superhero once upon a time, and he uses his wits, determination, and a crazy amount of cash, to be regarded as one of the greatest of all time."

Izuku felt his heart swell hearing that, and knowing what he really knew about Rosa and Sean, she likely meant that she knew several Quirkless superheroes. A hero without a quirk, was possible, and doable.

Rosa finished her opinion, "In my opinion, and it can be corroborated with Sean; you should be able to do hero work without a quirk, as well as you would with it. It is merely a piece of you that is part of your toolkit at your disposal, along with your wit, and your heart…"

Bakugo wanted to speak out and call Rosa a liar, but she made, to him, a good point that was hard to argue against.

Rosa eventually warned, "Again, Sean is likely going to use the Sports Festival as a test to see who he is willing to pass the knowledge he acquired. It's not a guarantee with the rest of you, but it is one for me, to see how far I've come. He will use this as a test to see if I am still in need of tutelage, or if I am ready to learn the next level of his training. Also, as a master, he does reserve the right to refuse to teach you anything if he feels you are unworthy or you do not meet his expectations…"

Rosa paused for a moment, and then finished, "Be on your toes though. He's strict enough to where, in order to bring out your best, he might make you think he is, literally, going to kill you. Sean might try to legitimately hurt you to see what you are truly capable of…"

Everyone paled hearing that, with Yaoyorozu asking, "Y-ye-you must be j-joking…he's not that intense…right?"

Rosa shook her head side-to-side, answering the deputy representative, "No, I am not joking. I wish I was. But, if you want to know why, it's something about the phrase; You show your true self when put under extreme pressure and stress…All I can say is that, if you ever face Sean in battle, face him with the expectation that he's trying to end your hero career before it begins."

Rosa walked away with an empty tray as she spoke a few last words, "Knowing him, he will try extra hard to not follow through with that. But, if he feels it is necessary to see what you all are capable of, he will pressure you like if your life is in danger. He won't let you chicken out, FYI. Trust me, I'm his girlfriend and he does not pull punches with me…"

The rest of Class 1-A was left speechless, many of them now visibly afraid of ever confronting Hashimoto in the competition. But, remembering he will not let any of them "chicken out" so to speak, they ultimately decided to swallow their fear and prepare to meet the strong boy headlong.

Bakugo growled quietly as he thought in his head, 'There's no fucking way that 1-B transfer bastard will scare me! He's only strong and fast, that's all he is. He's no All Might, there's no way I'll lose to an extra like him. If he's going to come at me with everything he's got, then I will do the same, and I'll prove that I'm the best!'

Bakugo then walked away after eating, unaware that Sean was observing him, Todoroki, and the rest of Class 1-A through their Ki from his perch, the roof of the school building…

---

Eventually, after a few days since that declaration of war, that fated day had arrived in early Summer…

The U.A. Sports Festival had, after a week-long delay, finally begun…

For three days, one for each student year, the Sports Festival was the chance for the Hero Course students to be scouted by pro-heroes. A chance for those in General Studies to earn a place in the Hero Course…

A chance for everyone to show their stuff to the whole world, and say in All Might's words…;

"I AM HERE!"

---

U.A. High Sports Stadium, U.A. High…

May 7th, 10:00 AM, T.S.T.

#"Welcome sports fans to the event you have all been waiting for, the U.A. Sports Festival! Sorry for the delay dear viewers and listeners, we have a treat for you this year, as this year's crop of students is the most promising yet! I am your commentator, Hizashi Yamada aka Present Mic, joined by my co-host, Shota Aizawa!"# Present Mic loudly announced from the commentator's box, to the roaring cheers of the audience sitting inside and around the stadium.

#"Why did you talk me into this?"# Aizawa grumbled to himself, but he at least found a good enough reason to humor his former classmate's antics.

And they are Sean Hashimoto and Rosa Parker, two transfer students who saved him, Thirteen, and Class 1-A, from the League of Villains. He was curious about what they were asked by the Principal, more so how they, mostly Sean are going to do this request of the chimera. He remembered what, for disguise purposes, their Quirks were supposed to be, and the two made it clear what they could count as their "Quirks" activating. He memorized it all to maintain their cover, especially as they said they wouldn't assume their "half-dragon" transformations for the Sports Festival and also kept it in mind at Nezu's request for later. Thanks in part for covering what counts as them using their 'Quirks', Aizawa and the other faculty members were to keep a close eye on them at their odd (borderline insane) request to challenge themselves. They recalled the school's alma mater of "Go Beyond, Plus Ultra!" but their request seems extreme even for that. Nezu was so impressed that, depending on how this Sports Festival goes, the idea of self-imposed challenges might be something to implement in the future, as an option for any future contestants…

Soon enough, Present Mic had introduced each of the courses one by one as each group of students walked onto the field.

In order, Present Mic introduced the Hero Course Students of Class 1-A & Class 1-B, making like joke about how Class 1-A was already in the spotlight and how both classes got an extra student each under Nezu's request. A glare from Sean shut Nieto Monoma up about that deal with the spotlight. Then the English Teacher introduced the General Course students of Class 1-C, Class 1-D, & Class 1-E. One student, Shinso Hitoshi, was zeroed in on his prize, which is a slot in the twenty, now twenty-one seats in each of the Hero Courses, his eyes focused on Izuku Midoriya and on the two transfer students. Mic soon moved to introduce the Support Course Students of Classes 1-F, Class 1-G, & Class 1-H, and then the Business Course Students of Class 1-I, Class 1-J, & Class 1-K.

Aizawa thought about his time as a student, how the Sports Festival was his chance to be a hero, and how this competition was a net to catch the hidden gems that slipped through the cracks of the Entrance Exam. He thought the Practical Exam as is was flawed, and thanks to the trial run of the newly formed transfer exams, Sean and Rosa managed to provide some helpful tips that not only solidified that exam but also may influence how the Entrance Exam is run for the future.

He looked at Shinso, one of these hidden gems, his quirk was ill-suited for the Entrance Exam but perfect for apprehending villains. But, his gaze soon focused on the married couple posing as boyfriend and girlfriend, the visitors from another reality. Sean made it clear what his intentions for this competition were, and the more the homeroom teacher thought about it, the more he had grown to be on board with his plan.

'You have piqued my interest, Hashimoto. I want to know how you will execute this plan of yours…' the teacher thought as Present Mic introduced the competition's Chief Umpire this year.

"Holy shit! The chief umpire this year is Midnight!"

"Last year, it was Cementoss. God, Midnight is so sexy!"

This was among the few of countless comments given as Midnight readied to start as the umpire. Some wonder if her outfit is even allowed.

Midnight spoke into her microphone, "#I am honored to serve as this year's Chief Umpire. I hold final say on who will move on, and who will fail in this contest of champions. Now, as a tradition for the Sports Festival, the student body representative will start off with a pledge before the Sports Festival can commence…#"

'Contest of Champions? I think that is an exaggeration compared to the one waged by that asshole, the Grandmaster…' Sean thought as he rolled his eyes and sighed, 'At least this contest doesn't have the fate of the planet itself at stake if what Peter, the X-Men, and the Avengers have told me is correct…'

Midnight grinned as she added, "#…At least, that was how it usually goes. This year is a year of many changes, so to come up to give the speech, we are having one of our brand-new transfers deliver it, alongside a few words from our first-year representative!#"

The audience in the stadium was confused, yet excited by this change of events as Midnight called forth the student representative and the transfer chosen to deliver the speech.

Izuku was a little surprised that Bakugo was the representative, and that Rosa was the transfer. He learned from All Might that Bakugo had the highest score among those who took the Entrance Exam, and Rosa set the highest overall score in the school's history. Had she taken the Entrance Exam like everyone else did, Rosa Parker would have been the representative instead of Bakugo. And apparently under that same light, would have shattered All Might's records.

Izuku noticed something about Parker that was different (aside from the fact she had her hair in a ponytail) and thought, 'Is Parker's chest…smaller? No, she must be using a sarashi to bind her chest. I could imagine a reason why…'

Rosa tried to ignore Bakugo trying to be a rude kid as she sensed the surrounding arena for any distrustful energies that might have slipped past the security. Rosa could feel that, while Nezu and Aizawa so far were trying the same thing, their scope was limited due to just acquiring the ability. She could sense Sean was doing the same thing, but at a greater scale than her, and she could feel from him that, it seemed that the stadium and surrounding area were clean. She then sensed that, with All Might in a private box, the familiar aura of most of her and Sean's Pokémon. She lightly chuckled in her mind as she and Sean asked Nezu to let All Might keep an eye on their Pokémon as they watched the competition. Rosa then felt a chill run up her spine as she lightly pressed her fingers close to where her armpits met her chest, making sure the sarashi she was wearing was tightly fastened, and not likely to slip loose.

Izuku guessed the reason from the different shape of her body and the subtle action she just performed, that Rosa did not want any perverts to leer at her chest lewdly, among the competitors or the audience. He also figured it would allow her to perform a little better.

The boy was concerned as it seemed to his observations that Bakugo and Rosa do not get along. Rosa ignores Bakugo being, well, Bakugo, and he seems to take offense to that and gets more agitated, more angry as a result. At least he wasn't picking on him as much as Bakugo did before the first day of the training exercise. Izuku wanted to laugh but realized it was poor of him to think that Bakugo was leaving him alone as a result of his attention focused squarely on the young woman from another reality. He didn't want Rosa to be the square focus on Bakugo trying to assert his dominance, like a wolf in a pack, but given what he knew of her and Sean, he was more so worried for Bakugo's sake as the two could easily snap his childhood friend in half if they wanted. He noticed Ochako Uraraka and Momo Yaoyorozu giving him a curious look, so he refocused on the two as they got up to the podium, while also ignoring all the comments from most of the male (with several female) students' less-than-appropriate remarks on the girl's body and face.

As Midnight had said, this year was a year of changes, and with both visitors from another reality participating, he had to wonder how he could stack up to them. His mind knew ahead of time that among all of the competitors, the two of them simply outclass everyone in speed, strength, reflexes, and instinct. They just had more practical experience than any of them. Frankly, even if he had mastered using a portion of One For All, he might still not stack up well against them.

Hearing the microphone whine and pitch brought him out of his daze as he noticed both Uraraka and Iida giving him the most concerned faces. He slapped his face with both hands and took a deep breath as he thought…

'No! Worrying about matching up to the Hashimotos will not get me anywhere. I will find a way to overcome them, despite their power. They may be from another reality from mine, but I will not give up! Worrying about their power is the same as quitting. I will win the Sports Festival! I WILL beat them!'

Izuku clenched and pumped his fist, a fire of determination burning in his eyes. Ochako could sense something was wrong but was glad Izuku was no longer looking worried. Iida was paying attention to the podium as the microphone whine from earlier was from Katsuki Bakugo.

"#*Clears Throat* All I got to say, is I will win…#" Bakugo said with a straight face.

There was silence for a few seconds before all of the first-year students erupted in anger at Bakugo as they denied his words, while Iida chastised the blonde boy about his rude, unsportsmanlike words.

"Typical Kacchan…turn a speech into a declaration…" Izuku whispered, not knowing what he was expecting, and feeling just a little embarrassed to know Bakugo. Kyoka Jiro overheard Izuku's response with curiosity thanks to her hearing. She raised a curious brow at Midoriya, but her gaze then turned and morphed into a skeptical frown at the explosive blonde.

Bakugo walked back to line up with the rest of the students, but not before giving Rosa a sneer of contempt, challenging her in dominance. The young woman rolled her eyes and lightly shook her head in response, not bothering to acknowledge the young and aggressive hero-prospect. Bakugo noticed and his sneer became a snarled grimace in response, a part of him wanted to tell the girl to not ignore him, but he held himself as she walked up to the microphone.

Rosa gave Bakugo a quick and barely noticeable side-eye glance, as she began her response to Bakugo's declaration…

"#Well, you guys clearly didn't like what our representative had said. And if you have a problem with it, then prove him wrong. Give this competition everything you got, a hundred and ten percent as some would say…#"

Any bitter and hostile thoughts directed at Bakugo were quickly replaced with curious stares at the young woman as she delivered her speech.

"#While I understand the wish, the desire, to be a hero. More than one would care. It is important to remember what it really means to be a hero…#"

Rosa closed her eyes for a moment as she continued, "#I will be as blunt as a bludgeon as I tell you all; being a hero is not for the faint of heart, or for those who want the easy life. It is more than just a career, a hero is a promise. A promise to be a better human being, one who inspires positive change in people, that they can be better...#"

The spectators, and even the heroes patrolling or in the commentator's box (Aizawa and Hizashi) went dead silent as the girl from another reality (unbeknownst to all but a small handful of humans) continued speaking.

Rosa took a deep breath as she said, "#Being a hero is also a job that requires sacrifice. The willingness to lay your life down for another's. A responsibility to those who ask or need help, regardless of their background. Being a hero is not a game. There are no do-overs for any mistakes you make, especially if they cost an innocent person's life. If someone dies on your watch, their death is on you, their blood is on your hands. It is a job that you take seriously, and give it your all in. You use every fiber of your being to ensure that those who need a hero more than anything…have one they can count on to pick them up when they are down…#"

Sean silently nodded as he knew that Spider-Man and possibly Optimus Prime were influencing his wife's words. He could also see that plenty of the audience was putting their undivided attention on the young woman.

Rosa continued, thinking about how the present reality is currently compared to what it should be, "#It's very easy to get caught up with the idea of a flashy battle between the forces of good and evil, a hero against a villain. Our world is a comic book come to life. However, I think the best way for all of us to remember how to be a hero worthy of praise, is to be a good samaritan. Because from my observations and studies, being a great hero is also being a good Samaritan. That means picking people up when they are feeling down, helping your neighbors, discouraging bullies, and most importantly, being a friend to those who really need one. Our power, is a responsibility, as a wise man once said long ago; that with great power, there must also come great responsibility…#"

Rosa opened her eyes as she gestured to her captivated audience, "#It is no secret the great heroes that presently patrol the streets, like Endeavor, or even All Might, their generation, are not getting any younger. Sooner or later, our generation, currently in school or are already pro-heroes, has to step up, we should step up now before complacency has us caught with our pants down if they were forced to retire, or as somewhat of a 'what if' at the U.S.J. when I arrived, killed in action. We have to be better heroes than the generation who preceded us and set a bar for the generation to come after who will succeed us, to surpass what we have left. Change is a constant, trying to fight it is to fight the universe itself. A battle we will lose. If we don't change, extinction isn't a possibility, but an inevitability…#"

Rosa then finished, "#I fully intend to give this competition my all, and I expect all of you to do the same. Surpass your limits and break through the ceiling that tries to keep you complacent. To not give the competition your all, is an insult to those who face you, and an insult to who you are. If you intend to not give it everything you have, to hold back your potential, then you should just forfeit this very moment. Let's not forget that despite this, we should maintain good sportsmanship in this competition. Heroes are achievers of the impossible. And while All Might has served as our Symbol of Peace, he is just one man…#"

The young woman then thrusts her fist to her future competitors, and said, "#Our job, is to be the foundation that holds society better than he ever could by himself. We will be the pillars that promote Truth, Justice, Courage, Compassion, and Freedom. If you really want to be heroes, then your first hurdle is to surpass All Might's accomplishments. As U.A.'s alma mater says, for this competition, we must…#"

"GO BEYOND! PLUS ULTRA!"

Everyone shouted the slogan of the school to the top of their lungs, their excitement rocketing to the stratosphere. Class 1-A was even more pumped up, eager to match her vow of giving the Sports Festival their all…save a couple of boys…

Bakugo felt even more bitter about Rosa Parker after her speech. Her words infuriated him even more than he thought as she not only belittled him without directly calling him out, but it was even more frustrating for Bakugo because she was right. He was quite eager now to put Parker in her place and knew where he could do just that.

'I'll see you in the third round…Parker…' Bakugo sneered as he found a target to fight.

Shoto Todoroki also felt called out by Rosa like Bakugo. But to him, it felt more like an insult, as she was telling him that if he didn't use his full power, he was wasting everyone's time and he should quit right now. He refused to use the fire half of his quirk, his father's quirk, wanting to prove he could accomplish his goal by using only the side of his power given to him by his mother. He wants this to stick to his father, as a form of rebellion. He was in a similar mind state to Bakugo regarding the transfers, thinking they were only somewhat strong and fast, whatever the full extent of their "dragon" quirk was, it wouldn't be enough to stop him.

He had initially wanted to declare war on Rosa like he did to Midoriya earlier, but held off after remembering her response to the General Studies student who did the same earlier in the week. She had a seriousness to her that actually intimidated Shoto, but after that speech she delivered, he felt he should have anyway. Now he had three targets to surpass; Izuku Midoriya with a quirk similar to All Might's, Rosa Parker and her incredible feats demonstrated by Aizawa's Quirk Assessment test, and Sean Hashimoto, Rosa's instructor and one likely stronger than her.

Rosa was walking back to her spot among the assemblage as the crowd erupted in applause and Midnight was resuming her umpire duties. She walked past her classmates as she spotted Midoriya ahead.

Once she reached him, she paused long enough to tell the green-haired boy, "Anyone can be a hero, regardless of having a quirk or not. But great heroes have opportunities to live up to their full potential often thrust upon them when they least expect it. Remember this, okay…?"

Izuku wordlessly nodded a yes in response as the two shot each other a competitive look that told them they intended to give it their all.

Sean noticed and was proud of his wife, and proud of his pupil. He then thought about Nezu's request regarding the Sports Festival, and then thought to inform Rosa as a reminder…

~"Rosa? Do you read me?"~ Sean asked, to which Rosa replied, -"Yeah? What is it, Sean?"~

Meanwhile…

Secluded Bar, Kamino Ward

Tomura Shigaraki was watching the Sports Festival, with a pen and notepad in place to keep watch over the future pro-heroes to learn how their quirks work. He heard Rosa Parker's speech, and he felt quite insulted by it. Not because it was sickening hero crap, he had to admit, her mindset of what a hero should be is oddly refreshing to hear. No, what he really felt insulted by, was the fact that even though she sounded like all the hypocrites he'd heard for years, Rosa was genuine in her words.

That is what infuriated him, because she was a genuine hero, one who would've helped him when he was lost and alone as a little kid. She was the kind of person he wanted to be helped by, but everyone ignored him, saying a "pro" would help him. They did nothing, she could have done something! It was infuriating because she was a genuine hero, but she came too late to help him, and now everyone was going to pay. He hated it. What's worse than a hypocrite hero? A genuine hero who came too late.

"Maybe she'll influence all these hypocrites to be more genuine with that little speech of hers, but that won't stop me from changing society…" He spoke venomously, as outside of that green-haired boy, and the black and white vigilantes that humiliated him, he found one more person to want to turn into dust. The pretty, foreign girl…

"Rosa Parker, an American transfer student brought into U.A. High by its principal himself, with another student…" Kurogiri added, as he wiped the countertop and then set down a glass of Brandy.

"#Indeed…#" All For One spoke through a speaker on the wall of the establishment, "#This girl, and a boy named Sean Hashimoto are complications I wasn't really anticipating, and what our mole has dug up, we already know. Apparently, they have the same quirk, but outside of an explanation and their online records, we have no idea what their "dragon" quirks are like. Nothing quite irks me more than an unaccounted variable. They may prove troublesome in the future, especially with those vigilantes that chased you away, and killed Nomu…#"

"Apparently, Hashimoto is Parker's master. Everything she knows, he taught her." Kurogiri remarked as he looked at the online records of the two.

Shigaraki smiled wickedly as he said, "Then, we could get a good handle on what they are capable of through one of them…"

Back at the Sports Festival…

The participating students readied themselves as the first round was revealed to be an Obstacle Race. Midnight explained the rules and everyone, especially Izuku Midoriya, Rosa Parker, and Sean Hashimoto…

{First Round: the Obstacle Race…}

"#All 11 classes will participate in the race. The rules are as follows…#" Midnight explained…

{-}{-}{-}{-}

"It is a mad dash from the stadium as you take a four-kilometer lap around the structure along the track. There are three sectors along the track that are filled with obstacles. Anything goes as you try to win first place as long as you stay on the course, but any attempt to harm others will get you slapped with a red card and thus, be disqualified. You are out of the race if you can't continue, surrender, or are knocked off the path by the obstacles. Quirk usage is allowed, and you have to use every trick in the book to claim first place, which does hold a great advantage for the next round for whoever claims it."

{-}{-}{-}{-}

'That encourages foul play, but at least it is controlled…' Sean thought, while he understood that U.A. prides itself in freedom for the students, he couldn't help but feel that there should be some kind of rule in place like; not being allowed to attack other students.

He had a few words for Nezu regarding implementing some more restrictions to prevent foul play, fully expecting Bakugo to be willing to attack other students as long as it is non-lethal. He was concerned about the fact that Bakugo might try to knock Shoto Todoroki or Rosa out as the two were the primary focus of his ire. But, sensing a couple of his Pokémon sending him telepathic assurances helped the young man calm himself, and focus squarely on the competition.

Rosa felt Sean's feelings, and then felt the same telepathic feelings of assurances from her Pokémon. She focused on the competition ahead, but not before glancing at Izuku Midoriya, thinking about what she and Sean had learned about the boy. His expression was nervous, but full of determination. Izuku is going to do his best to win the Sports Festival wholesale.

'We'll help out when we can, Midoriya. We want to see what you are capable of, so we will pressure you to bring out your full potential…' Rosa thought as she adjusted her ponytail into a hair bun, and walked with everyone to the starting line.

Both Pokémon Trainers noticed where the starting line was located and knew instantly what the deal was. It was a bottleneck, where the first obstacle was navigating a small, cramped corridor. Their gazes then focused on Shoto Todoroki, as they could tell he had a plan already for this hidden obstacle.

The two began their stretches as the starting gate began its countdown with three green lights turning off one by one.

'All Right, Young Midoriya…' All Might thought with his hands interlocked in a somewhat tight grip, 'Though they agreed to help you master One For All, they will not make this easy for you. Hashimoto and Parker will challenge you, and pressure you to bring out your full potential. Just do your best and say to the world, "I Am Here" with your head held high…'

He was startled by a couple of hands touching his shoulders, arms, and hands. Then noticed they belonged to the Pokémon that belonged to the trainers currently among the participants. It still floored the number-one hero to be in the presence of, and being touched by real living creatures that only exist as a franchise in his world.

As for the culprits, they were a Gardevoir, Gallade, Lucario, Sylveon, and a Meloetta. He then felt something in his mind and turned his gaze to the culprit, a Mewtwo, looking at the students with a focused, contemplative stare.

"Thank you for the support, you guys…" Toshinori said, with all of the Pokémon in the booth with him giving their affirmations. He then heard a telepathic response, as a feminine voice replied in his mind.

~"Your concern for young Izuku Midoriya is misplaced. My trainer made you a promise he will help the boy, but he first needs to know what he is currently capable of. We are willing to help as well, but Sean first needs to know if he is ready…"~

Toshinori looked at the owner of that voice and replied, "I know young Hashimoto will not let anything happen to young Midoriya. But, as his teacher, I still can't help but be concerned, Yvonne, was it?"

Yvonne was the Mewtwo that belonged to Sean, and she replied, ~"You also have a right to be concerned as you put unnecessary pressure on the boy. You have to temper your expectations of Izuku Midoriya. While he has the potential to surpass you, Toshinori, he is still a 15-year-old boy. If you keep piling onto him expectations he has to meet due to you losing the power you gifted him, he is going to break. Even if that time is fast approaching, he needs to ease up, or else his determination will become a self-destructive behavior that will hinder his progress…"~

All Might sighed as Rosa's Shaymin hopped onto his head, the grassy hedgehog's back blossoming with flowers from the gratitude it felt earlier. The hero knew Yvonne the Mewtwo was right, expectations were a double-edged sword.

"You're right, young Midoriya just needs to try his best…" The hero replied, only for the Mewtwo to reply, ~"My Trainer's mate would quote the little green man, Yoda. That Midoriya must do, or do not. Trying does not exist as it is the same as quitting…either he succeeds, or he fails…"~

All Might flinched at that as he remarked, "You have a point. He will give this competition his all…and he will succeed…!"

Izuku looked at the gate intensely as he primed himself to take off as fast as he could. His mind was occupied by what All Might asked of him, and how he was going to qualify for the next round as he couldn't fully control One For All's power. He had to save it as much as he could…

…So Izuku had to go into the Obstacle Race, Quirkless. Somewhat like who he believes are the two most powerful competitors among all the participants. He was a little aware of how they were going about this competition, but to what extent he could only guess. He was happy when Sean offered to teach him everything the Pokémon Trainer knew, but the young man wanted to see what Izuku could do first. So the successor of All Might is even more determined to show the world, but Hashimoto especially, what he's made of.

Izuku reminded himself in a hushed whisper, "They will make it challenging for me. They will pressure me, make me want to quit, to give up. But, I will not give up. I will win!"

"#Participants, at the Starting Line. Ready? BEGIN!#" Midnight announced as she swung her arm down to signal the start of the Obstacle Race and when the gate let out a loud buzz as the last light turned dark, everyone took off like rockets…

…Sean and Rosa, however, stayed where they were, still stretching.

~"So, you figured out what we have to do, since I brought up the idea with Nezu?"~ Sean asked his wife telepathically.

She responded to him with a small excited smile, ~"Yeah, but I hope you stick with the plan like me…"~

The two then got down on a runner's position, then took off with a crack in the air…

To Be Continued…

Author's Notes:

Hmm…now I am curious about this plan our two visitors from another reality and the school's principal have, and I am the writer of the story. Curious indeed…

Jokes aside, this is where the action kicks off again in this story.

I added calendar dates now thanks to a video on You-Tube, where a dude figured out the calendar dates of all the major events in MHA, so a big thank you to him. I will refer to this timeline from this point onwards, while also making a few adjustments when possible (like the Sports Festival being delayed…)

You guys also got a good look at some more of the Pokémon the Trainers have on them. So they are as follows:

Sean has with his Typhlosion, a Shiny Sylveon, Gallade (Damocles), Lucario, Mewtwo (Yvonne), Garchomp, & Meloetta.

Rosa has with her Samurott (Hanzo), a Serperior (Ellena), Gardevoir (Faith-Heart), & Shaymin.

Rosa mentions someone named Peter, and the mix-mash of that origin story is indeed meant to be Spider-Man as said earlier. But, there is a bit of a deeper connection between her and Peter Parker than just, sharing the same last name and being allies in an organization. I would tell you as this is after a massive story I want to write (but am presently having trouble finding help with getting it more 'professionally polished' as one might say), but I think I'll let you guys speculate for now what this connection is between our web-slinging hero and our Pokémon Trainer. Regardless if it shows up here or in said massive story, the connection will be revealed. Speculate away on what this connection is, I'll help you by revealing a hint;

Rosa and Peter Parker are NOT the same person, variant, clone, or otherwise…

I think I'll add another hint by the next chapter, and would likely be the last, depending on my mood.

Now, I think I'll add the preview to the next chapter, and while it will have plenty of action compared to the prior two chapters, it will still go through pretty quickly, so I can go to the "main event" that is the final tournament so to speak…

As the U.A. Sports Festival goes underway, many eyes are upon the next potential crop of hero prospects. Some for less than admirable reasons. However, another aspect of the competition remains unknown to everyone, except the school's faculty, and our two visitors from another universe. What is this aspect? And why are Sean and Rosa, helping Izuku dominate the competition?

Next Chapter: Competitive Spirit…(pt. 2)

I'll see you next time…
