Chapter 8: The Split

Recap:

In the forest, Katsuki leads the ground with Yuudai next to him as she ties her hair into plaits as they walk. "You're so lucky, Kacchan, Yuu. Your Quirks are so cool! I hope I get mine soon, too." Izuku gushes at the two in front of them.

"No matter what Quirk you get, you'll never beat me." Katsuki taunts him turning his head to look back at him.

"Kat, leave Izuku alone," Yuudai tells him, slapping the back of the head.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

"Until a little while ago he was just a pebble on the side of the road," Katsuki whispers to Yuudai, and she smiles.

"He still is for all we know, Kat." Yuudai tries to reassure him, and she looks over at Izuku as Ochaco fusses over him.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

"You have got a flashy Quirk there, don't you?! Try and get me with it! 'Cause I'm way above you!" Katsuki voices over as they both run at each other. Izuku activates his Quirk in his right arm that rips the rest of his costume and Katsuki uses his Quirk, creating small explosions in his palm and warms up his palm to red hot.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

On the level with Tenya, Yuudai and Ochaco, the floor rises and breaks away with the ceiling as well, Yuudai gets knocked back slightly by the wind from the hit that comes out the top. Tenya moves away from the bomb and Yuudai gets up slowly looking at the damage from Izuku's punch. "What the-" Tenya exclaims as he looks at the large hole in the floor while Ochaco uses her Quirk on the broken pillar.

"Improvised special move- Comet Home Run!" she shouts and swings the pillar at the debris, and it goes flying towards Tenya.

"You call that a home run?!" Tenya shouts as the piles of concrete flies towards him, and she uses the distraction to use her Quirk on herself again and jumps over the hole towards the bomb.

Ochaco jumps on almost hugging the bomb. "Retrieved!"

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Katsuki looks up at the damage done by Izuku's punch with anger. "That's what… from the start, you were…" Katsuki growls and lowers his head to look at Izuku.

"I wasn't... going to use it…" Izuku explains, and the smoke clears for Katsuki to see the damage done by his Quirk. "Because my body can't handle the impact… Mr Aizawa too said so… but... this was all... I could think of...!" Izuku tries to fight off the pain and lets his arm down but keeps the one that covered his face from Katsuki's blast, Katsuki looks at the damaged Izuku with an unreadable look.

"S-someone told me "You can become a hero"... that's why… I'm going…!" Izuku voices over as he falls to the ground.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Yuudai gets to her feet and sees Ochaco hugging the bomb as All Might shouts through the building and her right eye twitches and she feels her fists clench making blood begin to pool in her palm. "I lost… but I don't lose…. That's not possible… Izzy doesn't have a Quirk… not a powerful Quirk… I don't understand… how can this have happened… I don't understand… I don't understand… I don't lose… I lost… I've never lost… I can't lose…" Yuudai keeps repeating inside her head, and her eyes begin to turn completely red.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

In the monitoring room, they all watch the screens with the Hero and Villain teams, Izuku lying on the floor unconscious, Katsuki looking down at him in shock, Ochaco falls down the side of the fake-boma with Tenya freaking out. "Indoor person-to-person combat training. Hero team… wins!" All Might shouts into his mic that goes through the building and Yuudai stands by the wall with her head down. The rest of the students in the monitoring room all look at the screens in shock at the outcome.

"What the heck? The losers are practically uninjured, and the winners are on the ground…" Denki comments in shock at the images in front of them as Ochaco tries to hold in her vomit and Tenya comforts her, rubbing her back all unaware of Yuudai's arm turning red.

"They lost the battle, but won the war, huh?" Fumikage questions.

"This is training, though." Tsuyu remarks and All Might leaves them to the building.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

In the building, All Might stands with some of the bots in the room with the unconscious Izuku and Katsuki as they take the unconscious student away and clean up the building. "To the nurse's office." The first bot says as they pass All Might with Izuku on the stretch.

"I know." The second bot replies and All Might leans in to get a better look at the teenager as he passes and watches them leave before turning to look at Katsuki who can't stop staring at his hand in shock.

"My right… Deku predicted it… on top of that... he found a way to win the exercise…" Katsuki thinks back to what Izuku said earlier in the battle and clenches his fist in anger and begins to breathe slowly. "Does that mean… even if we fought all-out… Deku would completely beat…?" Katsuki doesn't finish his thought as All Might sees him hyperventilating and puts a hand on his shoulder, calming him down slightly as he looks down at his student.

"Come back, young Bakugo. It's time to review the results. Whether you win or lose looking back and learning from your experiences is a part of life." All Might assures him, when the building begins to shake, snapping Katsuki out of his thoughts as he looks around and hears Tenya and Ochaco screaming from the floor above them. "Young Iida what seems to be the problem." All Might asks him with urgency in his voice.

"It's Honda; she's turning into one of her demons!" Tenya shouts into the comm.

"What colour is her skin?" Katsuki snaps into his comm; All Might looks at the blond in confusion.

"Red!" Tenya shouts, and Katsuki runs out of the room, leaving a confused All Might behind as he tries to calm down Tenya and Ochaco.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

On the floor above with Tenya and Ochaco cowering trying to get to the door as Yuudai fights with herself, her skin changing colour into a dark red, her hair darkens to pitch black, and she hunches over whispering to herself. The sound of heavy footsteps come closer as the seconds' tick by, Yuudai hugs herself trying to stop the transformation. "Get out of here, QUICKLY!" Yuudai shouts at them her voice deepening n tone sounding dark.

"Move, you extras!" Katsuki shouts as he enters the room and they run to the door, but Yuudai notices and tries to run towards them, Katsuki sees her coming and uses his Quirk sending an explosion in her direction which sends her back in surprise allowing the two to escape. "It's okay Dai, it's just us, what's got Satan out of his cage?" He asks her, and she shakes her head, refusing to say it aloud.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

All Might stands by the stairs waiting for Tenya and Ochaco at the bottom also listening into what Katsuki is saying, the two making it down to the bottom of the stairs and the building shakes violently, they clutch onto the wall for support. "Young Bakugo what is going on up there!" All Might asks him.

"Yuudai doesn't take losing too well, and she's let her worst demon lose," Katsuki replies, and he lets out a grunt of pain.

"I don't lose, it's impossible!" All Might hears Yuudai scream as an answer, and it sounds almost inhuman.

"We lost, get over it!" Katsuki shouts at her.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Katsuki goes flying into a wall from Yuudai having punched him. "I don't understand how could we lose, I don't lose!" She shouts back at him.

"Because Deku lied he has a Quirk, it caused that updraft that allowed them to win!" Katsuki snaps with hatred in his voice, and Yuudai notices looking at him with half her face red in colour, and she sighs.

"But Izzy doesn't have a Quirk; he's always been Quirkless." She remarks seeming almost calm, but the building shakes again. "Did he lie to us?" She asks him, and the dark red recedes.

"Let's just get the day over with, and we can go home Dai, so cut this out, or I'll have to tell Yoko about this." Katsuki threatens her, and she gasps at his threat.

"No, you won't, or I'll tell your Mum, and that's worst!" She threatens back; he smiles, shaking her head as her hair goes back to her light blue colour again, and he lets out a sigh.

"Come on let's get out this dump." He tells her and holds out his hand; she takes his hand in hers with her long nailed pale hand as she's now back to her usual self.

"Kat, everyone's going to be scared of me now, aren't they?" Yuudai asks him and clings onto his arm for support.

"That's a good thing, that means they know you're more powerful than any of them," Katsuki assures her, and they walk off out of the building.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Yuudai and Katsuki walk out of the building to be greeted by All Might and a petrified Tenya and Ochaco, Yuudai bows before them in an apology. "I'm sorry for frightening you both, and for endangering everyone." She apologies and they walk back to the monitoring room.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

In the monitoring room, the screen reads 'Person-To-Person Combat Training' 'Battle 1 Review', the students all stand before the four other students as they begin the review. "Well, even if I say that the MVP for this battle was young Iida!" All Might announces earning a shocked Tenya while his teammates seem uninterested as Yuudai clings onto Katsuki's arm in solace and he seems down, and Ochaco feels her self draining from overusing her Quirk.

"It's not either of the winners, Ochaco or Midoriya?" Tsuyu asks him.

"Hmm, well… why is that? Does anyone know?!" All Might asks the class raising his hand in the air and Momo raises hers.

"Yes, Mr All Might. That is because Iida adapted the most to the context of the training. From watching the match, it appears Bakugo acted on his own because of an obvious personal grudge, which Honda was injured for. And as Mr All Might said earlier it is foolish to launch a large-scale attack indoors. In the same way, taking into consideration the damage he received, Midoriya's plan was also rash. As for Uraraka… she let her guard down mid-battle, and her final attack was too reckless. If she treated the papier-mache as a real weapon, she would not have been able to do something so dangerous. Though Yuudai had Iida prepare for their opponent's arrival and split up to cover more ground, she didn't show as much as the rest and was injured three times because of her partners' recklessness. Iida had assumed it would be a fight over the weapon which made him late in responding to the final attack. The Hero team only won because they took advantage of the fact that this was training. They were practically breaking the rules." Momo over explains shocking everyone.

"Sh-she said more than I expected." All Might thinks to himself in shock as they all stare at her, "W-well, young Iida also has parts of him that could be more relaxed, but well that was correct!" He says giving her a thumbs up.

"Start with the basics to develop depth of learning. We must strive to devote ourselves wholeheartedly. Otherwise, we cannot become top heroes." Momo comments.

"Yaoyorozu Momo! One of four students admitted to the Hero course based on recommendations!" Present Mic announces.

"All Right everyone, let's change locations and start the second match. Tackle this training after thinking about what we just talked about." All Might tells the class as Yuudai and Katsuki stand at the back away from the others.

"Yes, sir!" the rest of the class shout in agreement, Yuudai looks up at Katsuki to see him still in his earlier shocked status, and she knows why. Izuku Midoriya.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Outside of Building B, Shoto and Mezo, as All Might speaks through the mic in the monitoring room. "Match two! Team B are the Heroes! Team I are the Villains!"

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

In the building with Mashirao and Toru getting ready for the Hero team, "Ojiro." Toru calls out to him, and he looks over at her, seeing only her blue gloves. "I'm going to get serious! I'll take off my gloves and boots, too!" She tells him as she takes her gloves off, making Mashirao a little uncomfortable.

"O-okay…" Mashirao replies. "Hagakure, that's the correct decision as an invisible person, but that's not great for a girl, morally speaking."

"You can't look, okay?" Toru tells him seeming to cover herself up.

"I can't see you anyway," Mashirao assures her.

"Now, let's start the second indoor person-to-person combat training match!" All Might calls out through the speakers, and the siren goes off to announce the starting of the countdown.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Mezo walks inside the building through the main door, he opens up his arms into wings, and the end of one of them morphs into an ear, checking the structure and Shoto walks in behind him. "Mezo Shoji! Quirk: Dupli-Arms! He can create replicas of his own body parts on the tips of his tentacles." Present Mic announces as Mezo morphs the ear into a mouth.

"One in the hall on the north side of the fourth floor. The other is somewhere on the same floor… they're barefoot…" The first mouth reports.

"The invisible one is coming to ambush and capture us, huh?" The second mouth retorts and Shoto walks in front of Mezo.

"Go outside. It's dangerous. I'm sure our opponents intend to fight a defensive battle, but that does not matter to me." Shoto says as he walks to the wall activating his Quirk and places a chilled hand on the wall, ice forms along the surface before beginning to spread throughout the building.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Up on the level with the bomb, Toru is stuck to the frozen floor along with Mashirao. "Owwww… my feet!" Toru complains as Mashirao tries to break his feet free from their icy prisons.

"Th-this Quirk is…!" Mashirao groans and stops struggling as he hears footsteps coming closer and Shoto appears his red eye glowing as he walks into the room, he walks towards the bomb, but Mashirao puts his hands up ready for a fight.

"You can move if you want, but the skin on your feet will come off, so you won't be able to fight your best," Shoto warns him as he walks past him, and Mishirao clenches ready for a hit.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Inside the monitoring room, the cold spread inside, the students all shiver from the immense chill, even All Might hugs himself to keep himself warm. "He did not cause any damage to his teammate or the nuclear weapon, and on top of that, he weakened the enemy." All Might comments as the students all shiver.

"He's so strong!" Eijiro exclaims, Katsuki looks up at the screen and shakes in awe as Yuudai clings to his arm in comfort.

"Hero team wins!" All Might shouts as Shoto holds onto the bomb.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Shoto uses his other Quirk and releases heat onto the fake bomb allowing it to spread thawing out the whole building. "Heat?" Mashirao wonders aloud seeing the ice creep away.

"It's-it's-it's-it's hot!" Toru cries out in pain from the heat of the warm floor as waterfalls around and pools of water on the floor everywhere.

"Sorry. The difference in our ability was too great." Shoto remarks, turning to face his opponents.

"Shoto Todoroki! He's another one of the four admitted to the Hero course based on recommendations. His Quirk is Half-Cold, Half-Hot. He freezes with his right and burns with his left! The range and temperature of his ability are unknown?! What is he, a monster?!" Present Mic announces as Shoto walks out of the building meeting Mezo outside.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

In the monitoring room, they all look at the screens with awe at Shoto's Quirk(s), "W-wow!" Rikido exclaims.

"What's up with that Quirk?" Denki exclaims along.

"As expected of someone who got in through recommendations." Tsuyu comments.

"All right, everyone gather round for a review of the second match. Next, we will begin the third match!" All Might announces.

"Yes, sir!" The class shout back, Katsuki clenches his fist and Yuudai looks up as she sees him struggling and puts her hands around his clenched up fist.

"It's okay Kat, we'll get stronger," Yuudai assures him, and she sees him biting his lip in anger and sadness at the difference in power between him and katsuki.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

In Building C, Hanta and Eijiro are the Villain team, Hanta uses his Quirk to extend tape around the room protecting the bomb while Eijiro uses his Quirk to harden his hands.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

While Fumikage walks along one of the halls with Tsuyu climbing along the wall next to him, he stops once in the shadows allowing his Quirk to activate and two large hands come from under his cape, "Ribbit, ribbit," Tsuyu says.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

The next match commences with Momo and Mineta as the Villain team, Momo uses her Quirk to materialise metal bars and begins bricking up the door, Mineta oogles her as she does. She catches him looking at her inappropriately, and she glares at him, he notices her glare, and he shivers from the look, "No, no, no, no!" Mineta cries out in fear.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Kyoka uses her Quirk to move her 'Earphone Jack' Quirk to plug into the wall to listen to the enemy, she looks back at Denki and points up, he looks up as well outstretching his hand using his 'Electrification' Quirk.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Rikido readies himself frightening Koji who steps back nearer the bomb unsure what to make of his partner.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Down at the entrance of the building, Yuga walks inside with Mina using her 'Acid' Quirk to skate along the floor towards Yuga. "Yahoo!" Mina exclaims, and a couple of drops of acid get onto Yuga's cage, he lets out a squeal of surprise as the acid burns into his cape. "Sorry, sorry!" She apologies with a grin on her face.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

The Indoor Battle Training has finally ended, and everyone is standing n at the entrance of the Urban Battle arena with All Might standing in front of them. "Good work, everyone! We didn't have any major injuries other than young Midoriya or young Honda, either! You guys took this on seriously! You all did a good job for your first training!" All Might praise them.

"To have such a proper class after Mr Aizawa's class... it's kind of anticlimactic…" Tsuyu comments and the rest of the class agree with her nodding their heads in agreement.

"We're free to have proper classes, as well! Well then, I must review the results with young Midoriya! Change and return… to the classroom!" All Might shouts and speeds off down the tunnel to the exit, leaving the class behind.

"All Might's amazing!" Denki exclaims in awe.

"Why was he in such a hurry?" Mashirao wonders aloud.

"So cool!" Mineta joins Denki in awe of All Might's abilities.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

All Might runs along the tunnel, and he looks back at the class mostly at Katsuki who has his head bowed down. "Young Bakugo is a mass of pride along with young Honda… and there's nothing more fragile than a heart that's swelled to bursting. As their Teacher, I must counsel them well. But right now…" All Might thinks, and his skin begins to smoke, and he holds his hand to his mouth, he makes it to the staff door and opens it and closes the door breathing heavily. "If I teach a class…" All Might changes into his smaller version still breathing heavily. "I barely have enough time. Shit!"

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

In the Nurse's Office, All Might stands over Izuku in the med bed with Recovery Girl scolding All Might. "The school year has just begun, and he's already been in here three times! Why didn't you stop him, All Might?!"

"I apologise Recovery Girl." He replies, coughing into his hand.

"What are you apologising to me for? On top of his total exhaustion, he was here just yesterday. I can't treat him all at once. I did first-aid treatment already, so after the IV is finished, we can only wait for his body to heal slowly overnight. Jeez, I know he's your favourite and that you passed on your powers to him, but that doesn't mean you should spoil him!" Recovery Girl scolds him some more.

"There is nothing I can say to that. Because I wanted to consider his feelings, I hesitated to stop the training match. Even so will you please not talk about One For All so loudly?!" All Might warns her.

"Yes, yes, Mr Natural-Born Hero. Mr Symbol of Peace." Recovery Girl snaps looking away from him.

"My injury and this form of mine are common knowledge among the U.A. teachers and a certain group of Pros but the secret of my Quirk, One For All, is known only to you, the principal, my close friends, and young Midoriya." All Might tells her.

"I know it's not like you want to rest on your laurels at the top but is being a 'natural-born hero' or the 'Symbol of Peach' really that important? If I no longer am, then the superhuman society will be seized by evil. This is the responsibility of those of us with this power." He tells her.

"If that's the case, then it's even more important for you to learn what it means to guide someone!" She warns him.

"Yes, ma'am." He answers and looks over the unconscious Izuku thinking over their past and leaves.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

In the changing room, Yuudai picks up her school uniform and changes; she goes through her school bag picking out both her emergency sunglasses and mask putting them both on in fear before rushing out of the changing rooms leaving not looking or talking to anyone.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

During the rest of the day, Yuudai sat in her seat not looking at anyone or answer the obvious questions the teachers asked, at lunch, she sat with Katsuki in silence as they went over the day inside their heads.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

As Yuudai packs her things for the end of the day, Momo walks over to her, and she ducks her head before she can engage in any conversation and Katsuki grabs her hand, and they both walk out.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Finally, at the end of the day, Izuku awakes slowly, focusing his eyes on the IV attached to his arm and closes his eyes feeling the ache of all his wounds over his body and opens them again to see the time on the clock above the wall opposite his bed. "It's late afternoon…?" He wonders catching Recovery Girl's attention as she stands over him.

"Are you awake? " She asks him; he gasps in shock at her sudden appearance. "That's all for today's treatment. Come back again tomorrow, okay?" She tells him and lets him leave after giving him a sling for his broken arm.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Izuku walks along the corridor of the school, towards his form room and lets out a sigh. "I ended up skipping my afternoon classes… Mr Aizawa's gonna wrap me in those bindings again…" Izuku thinks to himself as he looks out the window at the scenery as the sun sets and makes it to his form room.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Izuku opens the door to his form room to everyone inside, looking at the tired teen. "Oh, Midoriya's here! Good work!" Eijiro exclaims as he walks over to the shocked greenette, with Rikido and Hanta and Mina and Yuga sitting in their seats. "Man, I don't know what you were saying during the match, but you were fired up!"

"I can't believe you fought evenly with Bakugo, who was second in the entrance exam!" Hanta adds in.

"You did a good job, dodging!" Mina exclaims getting up from her seat and skipping towards the boy.

"You guys did that in the first match, so the rest of us had to give it our all, too." Rikido comments.

"You were far from elegant, but-" Yuga begins to say, but Mina jumps in front of him.

"You did a good job, dodging!" Mina repeats.

"H-huh?" Izuku stutters in shock at their praise from his match against Katsuki.

"I'm Eijiro Kirishima! We're all going over the training together right now." He introduces himself and points to Hanta.

"I'm Hanta Sero." He announces himself.
"I'm Yuga Aoy-" He tries introducing himself, but again Mina jumps in front of him.

"I'm Mina Ashido! You did a good job, dodging!" She introduces herself.

"I'm Tsuyu Asui. Call me, Tsu." She introduces herself popping out from behind Mina.

"I'm Sato!" Rikido exclaims pointing to himself.

"Um… er-" Izuku stutters feeling pressure from them and nervous from all of the attention.

"I'm Mineta!" He announces as he jumps up and down in front of them.

"Where the heck did you pop out from?" Eijiro questions looking down at the smaller teen.

"I am Yuga Aoyama." He finally finishes but is still getting ignored as all the focus is on Mineta.

"You did terrible in the training." Hanta comments.

"I am a man who never stops shining." Yuga retorts back.

"You're too loud." Fumikage grumbles at the group at the door from his desk he sits on with Mashirao and Kyoka when Tenya storms towards him.

"Tokoyami! That desk is not a chair! Get off immediately!" Tenya exclaims in disgust.

"It's not that big a deal, is it?" Kyoka asks him in a bored tone.

"Wha-?!" Tenya exclaims in shock.

"What's with those hands, anyway?" Mashirao asks him.

"You people I cannot condone actions that disrespect the desks the great men and women who are our upperclassmen once used!" Tenya exclaims some more, making more hand gestures.

"You're too loud," Fumikage complains.

"Iida never waivers, does he?" Izuku thinks to himself looking over at his classmate when Denki opens the door entering with a pile of books in his arms and Ochaco behind him.

"Hey, Uraraka, wanna grab a bite to eat sometime? What do you like?" Denki asks her, and she thinks about it.

"Mochi-" She begins to answer when she notices Izuku is back and runs over to him, leaving a depressed Denki behind her. "Wait, Deku, she didn't heal your injuries?" She asks him.

"Oh, uh, it's because of how much stamina I have, and…" Izuku begins to explain, and he notices both Yuudai and Katsuki's desks are empty.

"Huh?" She asks him, seeing his stare.

"Um, Uraraka more importantly…" He asks her, pointing to their empty desks, she looks behind her at them and nods.

"We all tried to stop them, but they went home just now without saying anything. Though they haven't said anything all day." Ochaco tells him, and he runs out of the classroom to find them before he loses them, and it's too late.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

He runs along the school hallways and down the stairs to the school entrance and outside to see Katsuki and Yuudai walking away. "Kacchan! Yuuie! Kacchan! Yuuie!" Izuku calls out to them as he runs after them, the two come to a stop, and Katsuki turns his head looking at Izuku with a deadly look.

"What?" Katsuki growls, and Izuku comes to a stop in fright even now.

"It's a secret I didn't even tell my Mum… but…" Izuku thinks and tries to tell his two childhood friends. "There's one thing I feel like I have to tell you both. My Quirk is something I received from someone else."

"Huh?" Yuudai questions, looking behind her at Izuku who flinches at their stares, noticing that Yuudai is back to wearing her mask and sunglasses.

"I can't say who I got it from, though! I won't say. But it's like a story out of comic books, except it's true. On top of that, I still can't control it properly. It's just a borrowed power that I haven't made my own yet. That's why... I tried to beat you without using it. But in the end, I couldn't win and had to rely on it." Izuku explains not looking up from the ground, and Yuudai looks over at Katsuki to see him shaking in anger at the words flowing from Izuku's mouth. "I've still got a long way to go… that's why… that's why- one day… I will make this Quirk my own and beat you with my own power!" He finishes his declaration and looks up to see the vacate looks on their faces. "I just came to tell them I didn't trick them. What am I…?" He thinks looking away from them in embarrassment.

"What the hell is that? 'Borrowed power'? You're talking nonsense. What are you trying to do, make us out to be more of a fool than you already have? Huh?! What are you trying to say? Today, we lost to you… that's all it was… that's all…" Katsuki growls holding in his anger. "As I watched the ice guy, I thought, 'I can't beat him'! Damn it! I ended up agreeing with what that ponytail girl said! Damn it! Damn it, damn it!" Katsuki tries to hold in his tears, and Yuudai moves over to him, holding onto his shoulder and hand to calm him down. "Hey, you too, Deku! I'm just… I'm just getting started! You hear?! Here, I will become number one! You won't beat me again, bastard!" He lets some of the tears lose, and Yuudai tightens her hold on him and steps in front of him. "Yuudai got hurt because of me." He whispers.

"I'm going to help Kat become number one, I'm going to show everyone that I don't need to be feared by them but by the enemy and today Midoriya you're now my enemy in school as I am always number one, I'm going to crush you. Because this borrowed power of yours isn't all that and I'm going to prove it with beating you in the field because I've made my Quirk my own." Yuudai tells him and takes off her sunglasses and mask and spins around taking Katsuki with him and Izuku flinches hearing his last name leaving Yuudai's lips for the first time since they first met and watches them walk away. Izuku sighs in relief thinking he was going to get hit by either of the two and then hears something coming from behind.

"There they are!" All Might shouts and runs past Izuku, startling him some more. "Young… Bakugo and Honda!" He puts a hand on both Yuudai and Katsuki's shoulder as they try to hide their faces from him. "Just so you know pride is important. You definitely have the abilities needed to become a Pro. You still have a lot of-" All Might tries to give some advice, but Yuudai cuts him off.

"Let go of us; All Might." She snaps and looks back at him with a glare. "I can't walk. We'll become a Hero that surpasses even you without you telling us!"

"Huh? Uh, right." All Might stutters, letting them go, and they walk away, Yuudai looks over at Katsuki as he continues to hide his tears. "They've gotten over it. It's hard being a teacher…"

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

In the classroom, Mina, Ochaco and Tsuyu look out the window watching the scene between Yuudai, Katsuki and Izuku. "What was that?" Mina questions in worry for her friend.

"The fated battle between men," Ochaco states with enthusiasm, repeating her earlier words.

"It looked like Midoriya was just giving excuses one-sidedly, though." Tsuyu comments looking over at Ochaco.

"The fated battle between men!" She repeats, forcing her forehead onto the window.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

Katsuki and Yuudai walk on home in a comfortable silence as Izuku stands watching them. "Kacchan and Yuuie's fuse has been lit. That doesn't change what I have to do. I just have to chase after them!" Izuku thinks to himself.

"Young Midoriya!" All Might cuts into his thoughts, looking at his student. "What were you talking about with young Bakugo and Honda?" He asks Izuku, who becomes a stuttering mess.

"Um, we were, un…" He stutters, trying to find the words.

"Hmm… I'm so curious. Why don't you tell me in detail" All Might asks as he cups his ear leaning down to get his answer making Izuku lean away from his teacher.

"U-um a-actually…" Izuku stutters.

OOOOOOooooooOOOOOO

In the city somewhere in the villains' bar, Tomura looks over the newspaper with Kurogiri serving him a scotch. "A few days later, we would find out how terrifying the truly cunning villains All Might warned us about were." Izuku voices over as Tomura puts down the newspaper that reads 'Closes Agency Temporarily' All Might Becomes U.A. Teacher!' and Tomura rests his glass on the paper wetting the paper over All Might's picture.

"Did you see this? It says he's a teacher… hey. What do you think will happen… if the Symbol of Peace… is killed by villains?" Tomura asks Kurogiri who gives him a look but notices his serious look.

"Did you see the newspaper a few weeks back." Kurogiri asks him, and Tomura shakes his head no, and he takes it out showing him a picture of Yuudai on the front page with her mask and sunglasses on in her middle-high uniform with the headline reading 'Teen Fights Villain'. Tomura snatches the paper from Kurogiri and reads over the article and grips the paper tight.

"Little Sister," Tomura whispers under his breath. "What school does she go to?" He wonders aloud.

"U.A." Kurogiri answers and Tomura snaps his head up at his second-in-command with a gleam in his eyes.
