The 10th match was Psy-Brina against Juuzo, Awase, Togaru, and Yui.

Initially, Juuzo had tried trapping Sabrina by using [Softening] to turn the ground into quicksand and have her sink into it, but she surrounded herself in green psychic energy generated from her wristbands to increase her agility, bouncing around like a giant rubber ball.

"PSYCHO CUT!"

Togaru quickly used his Quirk, [Razor Sharp], to sprout blades from his wrists to block the blade of psychic energy Sabrina lashed out, stalling her enough for Yui to use her Quirk, [Size], to send several pebbles that she enlarged into giant boulders mid-flight.

Sabrina managed to dodge the first two boulders before catching the final one in her psychic grip, shooting it back at the team of four as Awase ducked out of the way before running over to the boulders and welding them to the ground with his Quirk, [Weld].

"She's got us pinned bad! What do we do?!" Juuzo asked as the others got behind the cover.

"Only one thing to do..." Togaru said before running out from behind cover. "TELL MY STORY!"

"KAMAKIRI!" Awase cursed before turning to Yui and Juuzo. "Kodai, you and me head for the exit, Honenuki, back him up!"

"Right!"

Juuzo ran out to help Togaru out, Sabrina smirking as she summoned some spoons from her pocket and sent them as projectiles at the two 1-B boys. Togaru swiped them away with his blades while Juuzo turned the ground underneath him into quicksand and swam underneath it.

"A pincer attack. Clever."

Togaru got close and swung his blades down on Sabrina, who created a psychic barrier to block him.

"EXPANDING FORCE!"

Togaru was blown back when Sabrina expanded the barrier as an attack. Juuzo shot out of the softened ground and grabbed onto Sabrina from behind, making her gasp and lose her footing before falling down to earth.

"Distraction complete!" Juuzo said, bracing himself as Sabrina's soft plush body crushed him against the ground, thankfully softened to cushion the impact.

"EXAM PASSED!"

Kirby, Mipha, Nia, and Pony were up against Captain Falcon and his speed and strength were certainly no joke.

"Are you alright, Tsunotori?" Mipha asked worriedly as she healed some bruises Pony had taken when she tried to charge their teacher head-on.

"Yeah! I'm fiiiine!" Pony replied, struggling with her Japanese still.

Kirby had transformed into Fighter Kirby and was matching Captain Falcon blow for blow, Nia giving her covering fire by striking at the Pro Hero with a pair of Chakrams that helped her with close-quarters combat.

"Bloody hell, he's keeping up with us at our best!" Nia grunted as she dodged a spin kick from their teacher.

"Come on, I know that's not ACTUALLY your best!" Captain Falcon grinned. "Show me da moves!"

"If that is the case..." Mipha said before thrusting her trident into the air. "SEA SHACKLES!"

Captain Falcon's momentum was stopped when water chains wrapped around his legs, leaving him open to a Shoryuken uppercut to the chin from Kirby, followed by Nia delivering a double stomp to his chest that sent him careening to earth.

"THUNDER HORN!"

Pony fired rapid-fire horns from her head with her Quirk, [Horn Cannon], controlling four of the horns to snag Captain Falcon's arms and legs before pinning him to the wall, allowing Nia to flip over with cat-like reflexes and cuff him.

"EXAM PASSED!"

"They all did it!" Izuku smiled. "Guess that means it's our turn."

"Yup..." Katsuki said with a stone-cold face. "Don't get in my way and I won't get in yours, Deku."

"Wouldn't dream of it, Kaachan." Izuku smirked as Ben and Hilda looked at each other.

"Fingers crossed they don't kill each other first."

The four made their way to the Urban Zone, waiting for the exam to begin.

"So what's the plan? Do we go for an escape, or do we go for the capture?" Hilda asked.

"Like hell I'm running away from a fight!" Katsuki snapped.

"I admire your determination, Bakugou." Ben dryly said. "But if we're really planning on taking All-Might head-on, it's not gonna be easy."

"With how much we've all improved since we started UA, we might have a chance if we take things smart." Izuku pointed out.

"So, what do you get in your big analytical brain, Izu-Baby?" Hilda asked, wrapping her flabby but firm arms around her boyfriend.

Izuku blushed but steeled himself. "Well, let's get off the main road for starters. Odds are he'll be searching those areas. We should use size to our advantage and get to a small alley. We might be able to start by ambushing him."

"Works for me!" Ben grinned, igniting his hands with pure heat.

Just a ways off, All-Might was waiting for the four at the Escape Gate.

"Seems Young Bakugou hasn't reenacted the Leeroy Jenkins maneuver. That's a good sign since he's usually so brash and hot-headed." The Symbol of Peace noted. "Still, if I'm going to test them to their fullest, they need to understand just what they're up against."

He launched a powerful punch that sent a shockwave along the main road. Luckily, the team had already gotten to an alley. Still, the force of the blow was strong enough to tear nearby buildings apart.

"Shit! So this is what All-Might's like when he doesn't hold back!" Ben cursed as he turned his legs into metal to weigh himself down.

"And we have to fight that?! I hate to say it, but maybe running is our best option." Hilda said.

"He's taking this seriously," Izuku realized. "Then again... He knows precisely how to be an intimidating villain by example. After all... How scary do you think All For One might be?"

"As scary as All-Might charging toward us like a bullet train?" Ben said. "Because he's coming right now!"

Sure enough, All-Might was charging toward the four, giving them only seconds to react.

"We need some breathing room!" Katsuki said before cupping his hands together. "STUN GRENADE!"

All-Might quickly shielded his eyes, only to find his arms wrapped up in Hilda's [Blackwhip] followed by Izuku putting his thumb, middle, and ring fingers together and firing a barrage of purple photon circles via the [Slow-Slow Fruit].

"SLOW-SLOW BEAM!"

With All-Might slowed down to a crawl, the four took the time to make their getaway, Ben creating an explosion of smoke from his body to mask their presence.

All-Might patiently waited for the slow photons to wear off as he scanned the area, but the four young heroes had already run off, escaping to the rooftops.

"We can't stay in one place too long," Hilda said.

Katsuki cursed as he punched the ground. "Fighting him head-on is doing nothing, and running won't be any good with his speed either! Damn it... How the hell can we be heroes if we can't win somehow?!"

"Are you giving up, Kaachan?" Izuku asked. "I'm surprised at you. All my life, you've always wanted to be a Hero who always wins. Sure you had a giant ego, but you had the determination to be like All-Might."

"Even at your worst, we had to give you that," Hilda smirked. "But a Hero isn't a Hero if they always win all the time. A Hero is someone who keeps getting back up if they lose, no matter what!"

"Yeah! So pick yourself up, Pomeranian!" Ben snapped, pulling Katsuki back up to his feet. "We're winning this match together! And if we lose...well, we'll do that together, too."

Katsuki let their words all sink in before nodding his head, whatever hopelessness he felt vanishing in an instant as he looked down.

"Looks like All-Might lost track of us for a bit. Let's hit the alleys and take a breather."

They slipped down.

"We only have so much time to rest. We can't run with his speed, and if we're gonna take him head-on our attacks need to be as strong as we can make them." Ben said.

Hilda cracked her knuckles. "I don't exactly have the same power output with OFA the same way All-Might does but I think we can manage since he has those weights on him."

"Alright, Elemento and I will make sure he's focused on just the two of us. Deku, when you and Stay Puft get the chance, ass rush him and hold nothing back!" Katsuki said.

"Well, today is a good day to die!" Ben said as he and Katsuki ran out into the open, right where All-Might could see them.

"Wrong way, All-Might!"

Katsuki then pulled the pin on his grenade gauntlet, All-Might quickly put his guard up to block the blast, only for Ben to teleport behind him and summon a hammer made of wood, which he swung down on the Symbol of Peace to slam him into the ground.

"What an intense combination! Not enough to put me down though!"

"But this might!"

All-Might then found himself wrapped up in the familiar black tendrils of [Blackwhip], courtesy of Hilda as Izuku blew into his thumb, using the [Gum-Gum Fruit] to inflate both his fists before coating them both in Armament Haki.

"GUM-GUM GRIZZLY MAGNUM!"

Izuku brought his giant palms down just in front of All-Might, blowing the teacher back a good distance. Before All-Might could get himself oriented, he found his legs trapped in solid stone courtesy of Ben, followed by Katsuki blasted his way over and succeeded in cuffing him while he was still reeling. It wasn't until the buzzer and announcement came on that it sank in for the team.

"EXAM PASSED!"

"Holy shit...did we just win?" Ben asked as if still trying to process everything.

"Hell yeah! WE WON!" Hilda cheered, pulling all three boys into a big plush hug.

Meanwhile, deep in the city, a tall old man with fair skin and a well-toned body was walking through the back alleys. He had blackish eyes and roughly shoulder-length, wavy, grayish-white white hair, with the majority of his bangs swept leftward. He had a short mustache, and a lengthy, mildly thin beard that reached down to his upper torso, shot up towards the mouth in large spikes, and linked to his main hair via sideburns.

"Master Thanoseid, the Chosen One, the next Great Evil King...he is ready, isn't he?" The old man said before noticing four female figures in cloaks. "Ah, I see I'm not the only one present."

"You're looking for the League of Villains as well, then?" One of the cloaked figures asked, revealing shark-like teeth in a mischievous grin.

"My master, Thanoseid, directed me here. He has told me that his one true successor is ready." The old man said. "I am August, Thanoseid's humble disciple."

"We can tell you got a lot of power for an old man." Chuckled one of the cloaked figures as they all removed their cloaks to reveal they were all women with doll-like features and extravagant dresses. "We're the Autoscorers."

"We were created with a nice mix of Alchemy and Dr. Garaki's research." The doll girl in blue grinned. "I'm Garie Tuman."

"Micha Jawkan!" Chirped the doll girl in red.

"Phara Suyuf." The doll girl in green said.

"Leiur Darahim." The doll girl in yellow said.

A pleasure to make your acquaintance." August nodded. "I know where the hideout is, though let us hope nobody followed us."

"The address we were sent was one already examined by the police," Phara said. "We should be good for now.

"Well then, ladies first." August chuckled.

Back at UA, Recovery Girl finished healing the rest of the students' injuries.

"You all certainly progressed quite rapidly. There's hardly much for me to do, and I'm thankful for it."

"I still can't believe we all managed to pass," Izuku said. "We even managed to successfully beat our teachers."

"Come on, Midoriya! It was a surefire point you were gonna pass!" Denki pointed out. "You're broken as all hell!"

"Midoriya may be one of the strongest of us but don't get so excited yet," Shoto said. "Don't forget they handicapped themselves so we could have a chance. We've only just begun to improve, and we still have a long way to go before we're ready to be real heroes."

The students looked back on how much they had to overcome just to make it this far. Each of them had their own reason for wanting to be a hero, but they all had one thing in common. They each had a tangible reason to become one, rather than just because it seemed cool.

"The final exams may be over, but this is only the beginning," Ben said. "We still have another semester, and two more years to get through."

At the new bar, Tomura enjoyed his drink along with the Dark Knights, Parten, Airi, and Rudborne.

"I wonder what sort of new party we're getting."

"Oh, you'll love them, my boy!" Batman Who Laughs said with a twisted grin. "They were handpicked personally!"

The door opened to reveal a middle-aged man with a gap in his teeth.

"Giran, I trust you brought some skilled villains for this?" Kurogiri greeted.

"Hey, I couldn't have gotten as close to them without your help." Giran chuckled as an old but fit man and four doll-like women stepped in.

"August! You haven't aged a day!" Batman Who Laughs cheered as he pulled the old man into a hug. "You have lost some weight, and a bit of hair too!"

"Very funny, Laughs." August dryly said. "These four lovely ladies are the Autoscorers."

"Ah yes, the last creations of Izak Malus Dienheim before his untimely death." Merciless sighed. "He was a truly dear friend of mine, almost like a brother."

"Seems like we've got a few more guests coming," Parten said.

Sure enough, a few more individuals came in. The first to arrive was a man with red skin, purple dreadlocks, and a long sharp index finger on his left hand.

"Name's Thrax." The man said with a charming smile as his blade finger glowed hotly. "Careful, I'm contagious."

A man with pink hair in a bowlcut stepped in next.

"Tommyrod, despite my appearance, I am quite the talented chef."

Next was a tall and muscular man with long blond hair and a blond beard with sharp teeth. A red tattoo crossed horizontally under his eyes and over the bridge of his nose.

"I'm Vetto, a man who fights for the defense of Heteromorphs from those who would prejudice them. If I must commit evil to get my point across, so be it!"

Rudborne recognized the next person to come in, he was a tall man with a thin and lanky body. His face was set in a huge smile which revealed his upper teeth. His black hair hung past his shoulders, concealing the left side of his face, and a large white eyepatch with one exposed dark gray eye.

"Ah, Nnoitra Gilga, I see you received the invitation," Rudborne said as the man grinned.

"Rudborne! Surprised to see your ugly face here! Glad to know I won't be the only member of the old Shinigami Gang joining this squad."

Next to come in were none other than Shuichi, Atsuhiro, and Mustard.

"Hey, we're here to join." Shuichi said. "You can call me Spinner."

"Allow me to introduce myself as Mr. Compress." Atsuhiro greeted, tipping his top hat. "I hope I perform to your expectations."

"And I'm Mustard, just happy to be here."

Another man walked in, this one looking like he was suffering from burn scars.

"Name's Dabi. That's all you need to know." He introduced himself gruffly. "You're Shigaraki, right? You look even grosser in person."

Tomura sneered. "Big talk coming from the Hot Topic Frankenstein. What, did you burn yourself on all the edge?"

"Hehehehehe~! He got you there~!"

A girl with red hair, a white blouse, a black skirt, and barefoot walked in, carrying a simple kitchen knife in her hand with a skip in her step.

"Hiii~! I'm Saiko Sutoka! I'm just here looking for my Senpai~!" She then leaned to Tomura. "Are YOU my Senpai?"

Tomura arched an eyebrow but chuckled and shook his head. "Sure, I'm whatever you want to be."

"Well, so glad to finally meet the new squad!" Parten grinned as he walked up to Dabi. "Let's shake on the deal!"

"Sure, whatever."

However, just as they shook hands, Parten's hand was suddenly ripped off.

"Ah!" Spinner yelped as blood sprayed out of the limb.

"HOLY SHIT!" Dabi yelped as he backed away in shock.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH! MY HAND! MY HAND!" Parten wailed out…. Before he started laughing hysterically, "HAHAHAHA! GOT YOU!"

Dabi fumbled over his words before he managed to say "HUH?!"

Parten grinned as he took his hand back. And then, everyone watched with horrified awe as the strings of muscle and sinew weaved his hand back onto his arm. Parten opened and closed his hand before properly shaking Dabi's hand.

"I'm SO sorry about him..." Airi sighed. "He's my cousin and, well...he's got a few screws loose."

"I can see that..." Mr. Compress said, dusting himself off.

"So, is this everyone?" Micha asked as she looked around while rocking back and forth on the balls of her feet.

"Actually, we've got one or two more people coming here very soon before we make our next move." Drowned said. "Tomura is going to be the one who rallies you, so I hope you take this time to get to know him."

"Works for me!" Spinner said. "I'm not much of a decision maker myself, I'm just here for the ride."

"Let us hope he is the one, my friends." August said to the other Dark Knights as he looked Tomura over.

"Oh trust us, Augy! He's already proving himself by leaps and bonds!" Batman Who Laughs cackled deviously.

The students of UA have passed their exams but the League of Villains is growing bigger and stronger! What will come out of this, I wonder...
