The next day, we finally got things going. The regular core curriculum was really boring, but English was easy enough for us. It was our native tongue after all. Lunch was great, but nothing compared to Mr. Popo's cooking. That man's food was a different breed of delicious, but it was cheap so good ol' mama midoriya didn't need to give us more money than needed. Anyways, after that was the greatest class of all. Hero basic training.

"I AM…. HERE!" Suddenly, a buff, blonde haired man burst into the room, his arms holding on to the door frame, "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A HERO!" I heard gasps of delight, "Hey, it's that All-Might fellow!" I heard Ethan say in admiration beside me. Kirishima smiled, "So he really is a teacher here. This year is gonna be totally awesome!" Tsuyu noticed his costume, "Hey, look! Is he wearing his silver age costume?" Ojiro shivered slightly, "I'm getting goosebumps, it's so retro!". I stared as I was reminded of how big a celebrity that All Might was. I watched as All Might strutted up to the podium, "WELCOME TO THE MOST IMPORTANT CLASS IN U.A HIGH! THINK OF IT AS HEROING 101! HERE YOU WILL LEARN THE BASICS OF BEING A PRO, AND WHAT IT MEANS TO FIGHT IN THE NAME OF GOOD." All Might started to flex as he suddenly pulled out a flash card with the word "BATTLE" on it. "LET'S GET INTO IT! TODAYS LESSON WILL PULL NO PUNCHES!"

Bakugou smiled ferally, "Fight training!" Izuku looked a little worried as he spoke, "Real combat?" I smiled, "This is going to be fun." All Might continued, "BUT ONE OF THE KEYS OF BEING A HERO IS…. LOOKING GOOD!" He said, before pointing at the wall where panels started to come out of the wall, revealing numbers on them. "THESE WERE DESIGNED FOR YOU BASED ON YOUR QUIRK REGISTRATION FORMS AND THE REQUESTS YOU SENT IN BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED." Wait…… what!? I almost slammed my head against the desk. How could I have forgotten about hero costumes!? Ethan tilted his head in confusion. "Huh? What do you mean costumes? I didn't know about this. Why didn't anyone tell me about this?" I could only rub my head sheepishly as I completely forgot about costumes and the designing of said costumes. "My bad." All Might continued, "GET YOURSELVES SUITED UP AND THEN MEET ME AT TRAINING GROUND BETA." The rest of class, excluding Ethan, Bakugou, and I responded with "Yes sir!". Ethan continued to look around the room very confused, scratching his head.

I sighed, before smirking. Following the rest of class as we exited the building. "THEY SAY THAT CLOTHES MAKE THE PROS YOUNG LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AND BEHOLD, YOU ARE THE PROOF." Bakugou was the first out, then Uraraka, then Iida. Quickly followed by everyone else. Ethan and I dragging behind as All Might continued, "TAKE THIS TO HEART, FROM NOW ON, YOU ARE ALL…… HEROES-IN-TRAINING!" We all made it out of the building as he finished, my outfit was my uniform, just without the jacket and tie. "THIS IS GETTING ME RAMPED UP, YOU ALL LOOK SO COOL!" I noticed a few classmates looking at Ethan, who was wearing a bowler hat, A white jacket and….. a wooden cane? Where he got that is beyond me. "NOW! SHALL WE GET STARTED, YOU BUNCH OF NEWBIES?"

Izuku was talking to Uraraka, who was embarrassed by her skin tight suit. I heard Mineta say, "I love this school." I nodded, "Same bro, same." I noticed a pair of gloves and shoes right beside me, "Where's your costume?" I looked at her, "I didn't have one ready so I just wore this." Ethan looked at her and put his hand on his head confused. "Huh,so U.A. enrolled a pair of disembodied hands and feet into their school? Man, these kids just keep getting weirder." "My name is Toru Hagakure!" I then looked her up and down, "So… is your costume like, Invisible or……" Toru responded, "Nope. I just wore my shoes and gloves." I turned around, "Nice to know." I said, hiding a blush. "NOW THAT YOU'RE READY, IT'S TIME FOR COMBAT TRAINING." Iida spoke up, "Sir, This is the same city from the entrance exam, does that mean we're going to be conducting urban battles again?" All Might shook his head, "NOT QUITE! MOST OF THE VILLAIN FIGHT ON THE NEWS ARE OUTSIDE. BUT, STATISTICALLY, THE RUN-INS WITH THE MOST DASTARDLY EVILDOERS TAKE PLACE INDOORS. THINK ABOUT IT, BACKROOM DEALS, HOME INVASIONS, AND EVEN SECRET UNDERGROUND LAIRS. TRULY INTELLIGENT VILLAINS STAY HIDDEN IN THE SHADOWS. FOR THIS TRAINING EXERCISE, YOU'LL BE SPLIT INTO A TEAM OF GOOD GUYS AND BAD GUYS." I sighed, 'Hopefully, I get to team up with Ethan.'

"THESE WILL BE TWO VS TWO BATTLES." Tsuyu was obviously worried, "Wait, isn't this a little advanced?" All Might shook his head, "THE BEST TRAINING IS WHAT YOU GET ON THE BATTLEFIELD. BUT, REMEMBER, YOU ARE UP AGAINST REAL PEOPLE, NOT ROBOTS." I tuned out the questions of my classmates, before chuckling as All Might continued, a script in hand, "THE SITUATION IS THIS! THE VILLAINS HAVE HIDDEN A NUCLEAR MISSILE SOMEWHERE IN THEIR LAIR, IT'S THE HEROES JOB TO FOIL THEIR PLANS. TO DO THIS, ONE MUST EITHER CATCH THE VILLAINS OR RECOVER THE WEAPON. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE VILLAINS WIN IF THEY RUN OUT THE TIME OR CAPTURE THE HEROES. WE WILL DECIDE TEAMS VIA LOTS." Iida raised his hand, "Isn't there a better way?" Izuku then interrupted, "Think about it, heroes often have to team up on the spot." I continued his sentence, "That's probably what's happening here. No way to know who we get teamed up with in a real battle so there is no way to know here." All Might nodded, "CORRECT! LET'S DRAW!" The lots drawn were similar to canon, but….

Team G: Kenneth Richmond and Tsuyu Asui

Team F: Ethan Crow and Eijiro Kirishima

You all know the first battle. It went the same. No need to say anything about them. Writing them would be too much work. So we're skipping them.

"NOW, TIME TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT FIGHT. TEAM F WILL BE THE HEROES AND TEAM G WILL BE THE VILLAINS." I smirked ferally, 'Oh, this will be fun indeed.' I thought to myself, before pulling Tsuyu close as I whispered in her ear what I was cooking up in my Wicked brain.

8888888888888

Me and Kirishima were walking along the halls of the building at a fast pace as we tried to locate the weapon. We both were also on high alert in case the enemy team launched a surprise attack. As we rounded a corner Kirishima spoke up. "What do you think they're gonna do?" I shrugged. "Hard to say. Even though I know Kenneth well I can't say for certain what that scoundrel's got cooking up in that wicked brain of his. For now we should focus on finding the bomb. The city is counting on us." Kirishima looked at me a little startled before shrugging. We searched for another half minute before I strategized. "Even if it's a risky play I think we should split up and cover more ground, try to find the weapon faster. Once either of us find the bomb we'll recoup and plan from there. Hopefully we don't run into either of the villains in the meanti-." Suddenly, I heard a crash and the sound of footsteps stopping. Kirishima's footsteps. I looked over and saw Kirishima being held off the ground by one hand that was coming from the other side of the wall, before he was gone, dust kicked up as the wall caved inward. Kirishima was tossed like a sack of potatoes into a wall behind the Villain. "So. I guess Intel was correct." The Villain smiled ferally, "You heroes ARE here. How truly foolish. Surrender now or face instant annihilation." The Villain kicked Kirishima through the wall as he struggled to recover, hardening up just in time to go crash through the wall. Grabbing Kirishima once more, he then slammed him into the ground, forcing Kirishima to plummet through to the floor below. "Kenneth, you are here! It's over now, tell me where you've hidden the bomb!" Kenneth smirked, "It's too late. The nuke will go off in less than fifteen minutes. Leveling this city and everyone in it will be reduced to naught but stains against the cement. My partner will make sure of that."

I clenched my fist. "The heroes. All the millions of innocent men, women, and children of this city. THEY'RE ALL GONNA DIE, AND YOUR LAUGHING ABOUT IT! DO YOU HAVE A HEART!? WERE YOU EVER EVEN HUMAN TO BEGIN WITH!?" Kenneth's smirk lessened, before he looked bored. "I know your kind, the ones that always rattle on about hope, love, justice, redemption, good and Evil…. Spare me the fucking morality lesson. Humans are nothing but a miserable pile of secrets." I unclenched my fist before looking down, shaking my head. "Ok, it's obvious you're too far gone, there's no point in trying to reason with you, so here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna beat you to the dirt right here, I'm gonna find that bomb, disarm it, AND THEN YOUR GETTING LOCKED AWAY WHERE NOT EVEN THE AIR CAN TOUCH YOU! YOU WON'T HARM A SINGLE PERSON ON THIS EARTH FOR AS LONG AS YOU BREATHE, I'LL MAKE SURE OF THAT!" Kenneth laughed maniacally, "Ethan. Ethan, Ethan, Ethan. You poor, sweet, stupid, pathetic, excuse of a man. You just don't get it do you!? THAT'S WHY I HATE YOU! After all, you can't do anything about locking me up when you're dead."He charged, "Time to say goodbye!' Kenneth Smirked, before suddenly punching the ground as dust kicked up, before it cleared and he was gone. I grunted before putting my hand to my ear piece. "Kirishima! Kenneth's gone, he retreated! Where are you!?" A second of silence passed. "Now's not the time for radio silence Kirishima, where are you!?"

Suddenly, I heard a yell from below. "Crow!" I ran to the hole in the floor to see Kirishima down below with minimal injuries. "Something's wrong, my earpiece is jammed! It's not working at all!" I looked confused? "What?! That makes no se-, wait, DARN! I should have guessed! He drained the electricity from your earpiece!" That's gonna put a damper on our communications, what should we do? I thought for a moment before making a plan. "Try to find the bomb! I'm gonna go find Kenneth! Even though we won't be able to talk through the ear piece, try to give some kind of signal that you've found the bomb and we'll find each other on the first floor to make a plan!" "Are you sure you wanna take that guy alone?" I smirked before nodding. "I got him. After all, me and him were best buds before he was a villain. I know him like the back of my hand." He looked at me weirdly before nodding and running out. I got up and started running to find Kenneth. I went from hall to hall, door to door, but there was no sign of the twisted man I had once called a friend. I tried to goad him. "WHERE'S ALL THAT BRAVADO NOW!? WHAT, ARE YOU TOO SCARED TO FACE ME!? SHOW YOURSELF AND FIGHT, COWARD!" Still nothing. I kept running and searching for him. "Hmmm. With my luck, he's gonna come busting through the ceiling right on top of me any second now-" Suddenly, I felt a breath rush by my ear as Kenneth's voice rings out is a whispered tone, "Do you fear death?" I tried to swing out with my cane towards the noise, but it sailed right through the air at nothing. I looked around for Kenneth, weapon in hand, but did not see him. I ran towards where I felt the breath going. But no matter where I searched I could not find him. "Hmm, maybe he'll topple the wall and try to bury me under the rub-" Suddenly, I felt my legs getting grabbed, before he threw me up through the ceiling.

I slammed into the wall before falling down to the ground. I groaned before looking around. I walked up to the newly produced hole in the ground and looked down. I saw nothing. "Pft, figures." I looked around and started walking. I looked at my watch. "A little over six minutes left. We have got to find that bomb. The fate of the city is on our shoulders." I kept walking before I stopped. I heard a voice coming from a door not too far away. I snuck up and cracked it open silently, "Kenneth, are you sure you don't need me to help fight Kirishima? I don't think Ethan would find this room very easily, Ribbit." Inside the room was Asui, and the Tsar Bomba. Not just the Tsar Bomb, it was the Gigga Tsar Bomba. It would explode with the power of 100 Megatons of tnt, rendering the city and the surrounding area to nothing but ash and glass. No more compromise, this is do or die. I kicked down the door before summoning a little bit of energy to throw an adjacent table across the room. Asui tried to dodge but was still hit. I ran towards her, reaching her quickly before unleashing a few electrically charged jabs at her with my cane and kicking her back. She tried to grapple me with her tongue but I grabbed onto it, sending electricity through it before wrapping it around my arm and pulling her in. I brought her to me as I quickly grabbed out my capture tape. I restrained her and wrapped it around her. All Might's voice rang out. "ASUI HAS BEEN APPREHENDED! THAT FILTHY VILLAIN WILL BE SENT TO TARTARUS AND WILL NO LONGER PARTICIPATE IN THE BATTLE!" I rolled her aside before breaking out towards the bomb as fast as I could. Plenty of time to spare, I just need to touch it. "THIS IS OVER!" Suddenly, a crash was heard as Kirishima was flung against the pillar in front of me, "Oh, I agree. I already put the kid to bed, so let's finish it." I saw Kirishima was beaten and bruised, capture tape wrapped around him. Kenneth walked in, his uniform a little worse for wear, but he looked fine.

"KIRISHIMA HAS BEEN CAPTURED BY THE DASTARDLY EVILDOERS! HE IS NO LONGER ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TRIAL! OH THE HUMANITY!" I scowled. "You know, from the start I held out hope that my dearest friend was somewhere under all that corruption! It's more clear to me than ever before that the man I once trusted with my life is long dead, killed by the twisted, demented man before me who calls himself Kenneth! It's time to end this!" Kenneth smiled, checking his watch, "four minutes is all I can spare to play with you and I think I let you live long enough. My dear best friend." He said in a mocking tone. "TIME TO DIE!" He charged towards me. I stepped back and raised my cane to defend against his attack. "A wooden cane!? Is that all you have? You lost before this battle even began!" His fist slammed against the shaft of my cane, wood chips shattered to reveal an intricately designed metal cane underneath. His face morphed into one of surprise. "That's where you're wrong!" I smashed the grip into his face and then wrapped it around his neck, throwing him behind me as I went for the bomb. "Oh, I don't think so…" Suddenly, I felt a foot impact my side, launching me to the side. My back hit the wall as Kenneth placed himself between me and the Giga Tsar Bomba. I used my cane to pick myself back up. I looked at the ground and back toward Kenneth as I slammed my cane into the ground, sending a bunch of pieces of cement into the air. I batted a bunch of them towards Kenneth. Kenneth batted most away, before rolling behind a pillar and punching it, sending hundreds of pieces of stone and rock in my direction as the pillar flew towards me. I breathed in before taking a stance. As the wave of rubble came to meet me, I twirled the cane around me, defending myself from each and every piece, sending each rock flying away with blazing speed and precision. Kenneth flew forward, his arm reeled back as he flew across the room at me. I brought up my cane and strained to block his punch. Kenneth smirked, bringing his leg up and kicked my chin in a surprising display of flexibility. I spun around before throwing a piece of rubble and then my cane at him. He grabbed the rubble, crushing it before reaching for the cane. I rushed in and struck him with a few rapid fire kicks before grabbing the cane out of his hand and performing an Ozpin inspired flurry attack with it. As it ended I reached out and sent out much of the electricity I had stockpiled in one concentrated blast. Kenneth smirked, before sticking his hand out and absorbing half of the blast, before the rest slammed into him, sending him against the wall. I started to rush forward before I looked around. I ran up to the wall and smashed it. Kenneth looked intrigued before suddenly the lights started flickering as electricity arked up my arm. The lights went off as I absorbed all the electricity in the building, the room now being illuminated by the light coming in from outside. I turned around and started approaching Kenneth. His watch and earpiece started fizzling as arks of electricity went into him, as he absorbed his own equipment's energy, "Come, and face oblivion." Kenneth clenched his sparking fist, the nanomachines glowing slightly. I readied my cane before me and him rushed toward each other. I swung my cane from the right as he raised his right fist above him to bury me into the earth. But just as my cane was about to connect, I ripped it away before I lunged my own left fist to meet his. Using a bunch of energy, my punch was able to stop his and deflect it, as he was taken by surprise. I then grasped my cane with both hands and hit him as hard as I could. The force of the hit was strong enough to send him flying out of the building.

As he rocketed through the air, I tossed my cane aside and ran for Giga Tsar Bomba. My hand hit as I brought my watch up to my eyes. As the time ticked to zero, I had one second left to spare. "THE HEROES WIN! THEY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY DEFUSED THE BOMB! HEROES SAVE THE DAY AGAIN!" I looked up and smiled as I turned toward Kirishima and rushed to his side. I shook him. "KIRISHIMA, ARE YOU AWAKE?! DID YOU HEAR THAT!? WE WON! WE SAVED THE CITY! THE PEOPLE ARE SAFE!" He looked shocked and annoyed. "Yeah yeah, ok, we saved the people and all that crap, can you please stop shaking me so damn much!?" Kenneth suddenly came stumbling in through the door, "Oof, did you have to hit me so damn hard?" He crouched down by Asui. "Sorry, looks like we couldn't blow up the city and kill everyone." She looked at him as he sat her up against the wall. "It's fine ribbit. At least we gave it our all." I looked toward Kenneth and made a devilish grin. "As for you, you remember what I promised you, right!?" I rushed behind him and wrapped his whole body in capture tape, leaving only his eyes and mouth exposed. "Off to tartarus with you, you fiend!!" Kenneth said, "Oh! I'll escape and next time you won't be so lucky!" Suddenly, we both burst out laughing.

"Kenneth, I didn't know you had such brutality in you. You were scary." Toru said, walking up to me as we entered the control room. "I had a role to play, so I played it to the best of my ability." Tsuyu was still a bit wobbly from the electrical blast as I had her leaned over my shoulder. "Down you go." I dropped her onto a chair, before rubbing my cheek. "That hurt though, being hit by your full strength hurts normally, but that felt like a truck had slammed into my face." I said to Ethan. All Might stood with his head bowed down. "Kenneth. Ethan. That was… ABSOLUTELY GLORIOUS! YOU GUYS DID HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY, AND BOY DID YOU PLAY IT HARD! THAT MATCH HAD EVERYTHING! COMEDY! ROMANCE! DRAMA! SUSPENSE! ACTION! ADVENTURE! TRAGEDY! YOU TWO PUT ON A STUPENDOUS SHOWING! THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE DULL MOMENT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MOCK BATTLE! I CAN ONLY TRULY SPEAK FOR MYSELF HERE, BUT I COULD NOT SEE A SINGLE DRY EYE BY THE END OF THAT MATCH, BUT THAT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING THROUGH THE WAVE OF TEARS FLOWING OUT OF MY EYES! BRAVO! BRAVO MY STUDENTS! BRAVISSIMO!!" I looked at Asui, "I don't remember romancing you up? Did Kirishima get romanced by Ethan or……." I looked at Asui and Kirishima slightly suspiciously. Before shrugging, probably nothing. "SO, WHO HERE CAN TELL ME THE MVP OF THAT MATCH?" Yaoyorozu said, "Ethan I would say. Not only did he manage to capture both the villains, but he treated the bomb as real and thus made sure to not hit it at all. adapting to the battle as the Villains played offensive. He made plans that were spur of the Moment and fit the occasion." However, suddenly Todoroki said, "I Disagree. Kenneth had a plan from the beginning and ran with it. Keeping Ethan and Kirishima on the defensive for the first half of that match. He cut off communication between the two so Kirishima couldn't radio to Ethan when he was being beaten up. He fought Ethan to stall for time as the time was running out. He very well could have won using this plan if it went on for a second longer."

"YOU'RE BOTH WRONG. IT'S A TIE BETWEEN THEM. THEY BOTH PLAYED THE ROLES THEY WERE GIVEN AND STRATEGIZED AROUND THAT ROLE. KENNETH PLAYED THE VILLAIN TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITIES. AND I COULDN'T IMAGINE A MORE HEROIC PERSON IN ETHAN'S ROLE IF I TRIED. BOTH MANAGED TO DO THERE PLANS WELL, AND ADAPTED TO CHANGE WELL ENOUGH." I smiled at Ethan, before All Might announced the next match……

We were having so much fun, but nothing could prepare us for the incident at the USJ, not even my future knowledge.

888888888888888

A large, muscular man stood his head down as a certain semi-truck driver spoke, "Alpha. The boss has a job for you." The muscular man lifted his head, "What is it?" The semi truck driver put down two pictures. One of Ethan and one of Kenneth. "Capture these two. Alive preferably. You know what happens if you fail." The muscular man shivered as the color drained from his face. "Yes sir. But, how?" The driver smirked, "Have you ever heard of the 'League of Villains'? They're holding a recruitment right now. Going to attack U.A I hear." The driver started to walk away. "They are students at U.A after all. Join the league and capture the targets. The boss is waiting." The driver then teleported away, leaving the man alone.
