"Go on. Tell us what you learned," said Sensei.
"If my opponent doesn't want to engage in a fight, then my quirk's pretty darn useless!" said Kirishima, removing his helmet. "In a real fight, I'd be dead meat the second I got caught."
"I need to give more specific instruction to my bugs," said Koda
"I was awesome right!?" cried Kaminari, who was slipping into his braindead mode. "Go on, feel free to heap on the praise! Don't hold back, show me some love! You know you want to!"
"We lost two," said Tsu, who looked really sad and discouraged. Poor Tsu! "I wanted to win with the whole team intact. It all got a bit chaotic."
"After everything I learned, I couldn't even put a fraction of it to use," sighed Shinsou. "It's frustrating."
"Nobody's a pro straight out of the gate," replied Mr. Aizawa. "It took me six whole years to master the binding cloth. Remember that frustration you're feeling and use it as motivation."
"Right."
"The two who did work studies are quite hard on themselves," said Aoyama.
Jirou was still sniggering. "Meanwhile, Jamming-yay doesn't know the meaning of modesty..."
"Shinsou's youthful spirit...I love it!" cried Miss Midnight, while behind her All Might grumbled, "Cut that out."
Sensei was giving the remaining students a talking to.
"Kirishima. Focus up on setting up direct encounters where you get to brawl."
"Yes, sir!"
"Koda, as you suggested, you need to work on your strategizing."
"Kaminari! Your early game was a mess! Does it take losing your allies for you to finally put your talents to actual use?"
"Yaayy..."
Got that, Kaminari?
"Asui, you midhgt've messed up, but you reacted quickly and changed course."
"Kero."
Meanwhile, Vlad King sensei was giving his own lecture.
"You all already know what I'm going to say, yeah? WAs Shishida your central pillar or was it Shiozaki!? With consolidated leadership, you could've won this!"
"Shiozaki just can't bring herself to decieve others," said Monoma. "Faling to take that into consideration ended up costing you."
"I gave our opponents a chance to strategize...sorry about that, Shiozaki," said Shishida.
"Burned by the fires of hell," Shiozaki replied.
"A certain someone managed to show us his worth, though. I look forward to our joint battle. Hey, Shinsou! Let's cook up a plan to really make Class A Cry!" cried Monoma as he hurled hismelf at Shinsou.
"We need a plan of our own," said Deku.
He sat down and I joined him. So did Mina and Mineta.
"Let's brainstorm and think about what we can do."
"Woo!" I cheered him on.
"Combo moves!" Cried Mina
Deku was checking his notebook. "We should think up ways to communicate with each other nonverbally, so Shinsou won't be able to block our communication."
"That's easier said than done!" whined Mineta.
"Great idea, Deku," I cut across him.
"Like a secret handshake?" said Mina.
"Maybe hand gestures instead?" I put in. "So we can communicate from a distance."
"Great idea, Uraraka!" Deku smiled at me, which made me feel kinda proud. "And Monoma too. With his copycat quirk, we need to be extra cautious; there's always a chance he'll copy Shinsou's quirk, so we'll have two brainwashing powers to deal with."
"So not fair!" cried Mina, slumping on her arms.
I felt a little intimidated too; Monoma could copy any quirk, and his team outnumbered ours. Mineta wasn't exactly a very strong teammate. Me and Mina both had some experience but neither one of us was exactly a powerhouse like Todoroki. Which meant we'd have to count on Deku to do a lot of the heavy stuff.
I'm not gonna put that all on you, Deku.
"You can count on me, Deku," I told him. "I'll have your back."

"Good luck to Kendo and team 2!" Cried Vlad King, while we protested "No more biased announcing!"
On the 1B side, their team was holding hands together in a middle, with Kendo calling "All Right, let's do this!"
We'd all gathered in front of the big screen again to watch. Sero turned to Tetsutetsu, the boy who'd fought Kirishima at the Sports Festival, and asked, "What sort of role does Kendo play in Class B anyway?"
"OHH! SHE'S A GAL WHO GETS THE JOB DONE!"
"Turn down the volume."
"I MEAN SHE'S OUR CLASS PRESIDENT AFTER ALL! SMART AS HECK ALONG WITH QUICK, LEVEL HEADED DECISIONS! AND SHE PULLS THE WHOLE CLASS TOGETHER WITH A GOOD ATTITUDE! WITHOUT HER, WE'D ALL HAVE BEEN SUCKED INTO MONOMA'S ORBIT BY NOW! SHE'S BASICALLY CLASS B'S BIG SISTER - ITSUKA KENDO!"
"Quick, levelheaded decisions? Hm," murmured Todoroki. "IF that's the case, I wonder if Yaoyorozu's operation will work?"
"Operation?" Asked Ojiro.
"They know our quirks for the most part," Kendo was saying. "But we've improved, and we might surprise them with new ultimate moves, so the first thing they'll do is scope us out!"
She was immediately proved right as Dark Shadow came bearing down on them.
"All yours, Kuroiro!" She cried.
"Scope you out? No, I'm here to take you out!" Cried Dark Shadow, as Kuroiro jumped into him. "I'll be back, guys!" He smirked.
On our side, the team was running towards the B group.
"Dark shadow has located them," Tokoyami told them. "It seems they're directly in front of that towering smokestack."
"You're able to send your companion quite far now, oui?" said Aoyama. "Perhaps you leveled up during your work study?"
"In a way. Though dark shadow won't last as long when it's farther away. Let's move." He jumped then. Dark Shadow was coming back.
"Ah, it's returning!" said Aoyama.
"Everyone scatter! Back to me, Dark Sha-" Tokoyami began, but stopped as Dark Shadow - attacked him?
Kuroiro popped out of the darkness.
"Kuroiro popped outta Dark Shadow!" cried Hagakure .
Yaomomo tossed capture nets his way, but he slipped into the darkness of the shadows on the pipes.
"Ah, Fumikage Tokoyami. I'm gonna wear you like a suit."
"Very well," said Tokoyami, whipping off his cloak. "I shall stand against you with the technique Hawks helped me create - black Fallen Angel!"
"Keh heh heh! Black fallen angel!? Sounds cool. Why Don'tcha show me?" Said Kuroiro disappearing into the darkness of the pipe.
"He's shifting through the shadows!" Yaomomo cried.
"Another solo attacker! How unexpected!" Pouted Aoyama.
"This is just like the last match!" Said Ojiro.
"They're messing with our expectations," said Todoroki, replying to him.
"In a zone full of pipes, pinning down his location is next to impossible," said Ojiro.
"You all right, Tokoyami?" Asked Hagakure.
"Yes."
And then Aoyama was screaming as Kuroiro seized his cape from behind, dragging him along the pipes of the construction site and towards the prison.
And Tokoyami was hot on his trail, pulling out a brand new move - letting Dark Shadow to carry him as he flew.
"Is that what you thought?" He called after Kuroiro.
"HE'S FLYING?!" Our opponent team on Class B shouted.
And taking Aoyama back from Kuroiro.
Good job, Tokoyami!
Yaomomo shouted. "Aoyama! Use naval Buffet! Keep flying about, Tokoyami! Enough to alter every shadow around!"
"Dark shadow, under my cape, now!" Cried Tokoyami as Aoyama's quirk blasted into high gear and shone a light through the whole site. The shadows are shifting, which means Kuroiro -
And he popped out from his hiding place.
"There he is, Hagakure!" Yaomomo called.
"Awesome! He's mine now!" She called, ready for a fight.
"I was quite prepared to expect the unexpected!" Yaomomo cried -
And then a mushroom grew at the end of her nose.
On the other end, Mushroom girl Kinoko Komori was saying, "All this light means Kuroiro failed! Kendo's already a step ahead. Now for Plan B. Mushrooms for all! Everyone everywhere, everyshroom!"
And yeah, those mushrooms were growing all over the place, covering the entire construction site in fungi.
"Black wood cauliflower shroom! Yellow knight shroom! Enoki shroom, Inky cap shroom! Grow, grow! Cover the earth with me! Make it shroomtastic!"
"Oh no!" Cried Yaomomo.
"Ack, they're totally revealing my curves! How embarrassing!" Shouted Hagakure.
"These fungi are spreading across the entire arena, and Kuroiro has vanished from sight!" Cried Tokoyami.
"They even sprout on people's bodies? How freaky!" Shook Mineta.
"Her mushrooms all vanish after tow or three hours, so she's not that scary," said Awase of Class 1B. "It's why she goes for the buckshot approach.
"They just keep popping up!" Hagakure was shouting.
"Stay calm, everyone! We need to regroup!" Yaomomo replied.
Krash! Boom! Whambam!" Came a voice - and -
Giant Sound effects cut through the entire construction site.
The area was crashing, falling apart -
"What is all that!?" Cried Aoyama.
Fukidashi! His quirk brings onomatopoeia to life. Crap, Yaomomo!
"I'm on top of my game!" He was crying. "That boom was more like kerboosh! Made my heart go boom!"
"Even my laser cannot put a dent in these things!" Aoyama was shouting
"Huh? Why's it jime Jime?" Said Hagakure. Then cried, "It's a humidifier! The shrooms are growing outta control!"
"Hagakure!" Cried Tokoyami.
"Our longe range attack boys are in a bind, huh?" Said Sato.
"Who cares, look!" Cried Sero. "That wall cut Yaoyorozu from the group!"
Yaomomo was standing alone, looking nervous, cut off from the team.
"Now to take her down by force!" Came a cry from above her - and Kendo jumped down to attack.
"Shield!" Yaomomo shouted - a tungsten wall sprung up to protect her from the attack - And it was crushed to pieces, forcing her backwards.
Kendo landed before her, well prepared to attack.
"Hand-to-hand is my field of expertise, you know. I might actually win! I'm not giving you time to think, nuh-uh!" And she was on her, hitting her with a barrage of her fists - too fast to react -
"SHE WORKED THE SITUATION TO HER ADVANTAGE INSTANTLY! THAT'S OUR KENDO!" screamed Tetsutetsu.
"Not necessarily the best tactic," replied Todoroki.
'Huh?"
"If she isolated Yaoyorozu because she's wary of her, she may have misread things."
"HUH?"
"If they knew the threat Yaoyorozu posed, all four of them would've teamed up and crushed her right off the bat."
Meanwhile, Yaomomo was creating a giant canon.
"Oh come on! A cannon?" Gasped Kendo.
"It takes quite a bit of time to create something so big!" Yaomomo replied, and it looked like she was gonna blow Kendo away.
"She could kill someone with that!" Cried Tetsutetsu.
"That girl loves canons, huh?" Said another Class B kid.
Yaomomo turned the cannon toward the wall.
"Apologies for frightening you!"
"This is one out of control plan!" Said Kendo, readying, aiming and heading for an attack on Yaomomo -
Who had fired the cannon over the wall instead of into it.
And she was out, knocked down by Kendo.
Meanwhile…
"Can't stop twinkling!" Tokoyami shouted as that Kuroiro grabbed Aoyama from him again.
"Stupid Fungi - just stop!" He cried, while a bunch of Kanji came at him.
"Was!" Cried Hagakure from near where he landed.
"Invisible Girl!" He shouted, looking the boom - the cannon -
"Dark Shadow!"
"Gotcha!" And he grabbed Hagakure while Dark Shadow flew him up in the air in time to grab the bag - labeled Yaoyorozu's Lucky Bag - Yaomomo had fired for him.
"Lucky bag. What good fortune!"
"These are goggles and ethanol, an anti-fungal spray?"
"Judging from the Goggles' design, those'er meant for you, Tokoyami."
On the 1B side, Kuroiro had rejoined Mushroom girl.
"H-hey, Komori…"
"Huh? Speak up!"
"I-I caught him. A-aoyama."
"Good going! That's our Kuroiro! Now you musht go get the other two! They still can't pin our locations down, so I'll keep up my shroomerific attack."
"UH sure - Hey, Komori. You sure they don't know where we are? Cuz it looks like he's heading our way!"
Tokoyami was bearing down on them. Wearing Thermal Goggles.
"Whoa, Tokoyami's zooming straight at Komori!?" Fukidashi was saying.
"Coming for you too!" Came a voice from behind him. "I thought it was weird how you Class B guys didn't have shrooms growing all over ya! Must've sterilized yourselves, right?"
Hagakure. Invisible!
"With your positions revealed," Tokoyami was saying, "You're in my crosshairs. As Hawks would say, speed beats power! Abyssal black body sabbath!" And he knocked Komori and Kuroiro down.
"Komori!"
"Are you looking for something black?" Called Tokoyami, "Enjoy my cape!" And he'd caught Kuroiro and tired up Komori in Dark Shadow. "Got her, Fumikage!"
"With these two immobilized, there's little to fear. Let's make for the cage and. - cough -"
"Fumikage?"
"Sorry! I kept those under wraps because they're not as cute. But if we're about to lose then I guess I have no other option."
"Though Komori isn't much of a fighter, she is one to fear," Monoma was saying. "He should've knocked her out cold. But Tokoyami didn't take this training seriously enough.
Hagakure was beating up Fukidashi - But a giant fist came from nowhere and seized her too.
"Sorry I'm late," Kendo told her teammate.
"Kendo! I'm saved! Wait, wuzzat!"
"Don't worry. She's out cold. But she pulled a fast one on me and tied me to her. Cannon. It's kinda hard to get around with this. With everything she created she had such amazing foresight. So this doesn't really feel like I beat her."
Yaomomo was passed out but had tied herself to Kendo and fused herself to her cannon.
Tokoyami was hacking while Kuroiro sighed. "You had to resort to that, Komori?"
"Didn't have mush choice."
"KENDO LIVES UP TO HER REP!" Cheered Tetsutetsu!
"I just hope she doesn't lose heart over this," sighed Todoroki.
Poor Yaomomo.
Midnight was smiling. "Yaoyorozu will make a fine leader someday. She showed that 'plus ultra spirit in all sorts of ways out there."
"MATCH 2 IS OVER! CLASS B WINS, 4-0!"
