"Ugh! Mr. Power Loader is terrible." Mei started complaining as she was tinkering with a box. "He won't let me work on my babies."

The trio entered the college campus, Izuku munching on a melon bread while Hitoshi was watching Mei trying to fix her inventions with a screwdriver but getting no progress.

It has been a week since Izuku and Hitoshi have been taking part in the hero course and they would be lying if they said that it was not an eventful week. The training from his teacher was grueling but apart from that, he enjoyed class and had an overall good relationship with his classmates, much better than his last school.

"I mean, the workshop has to close at some time. Also, the university has to close too." Hitoshi shrugged with his hands in his pockets, Izuku checking and taking the cube as Mei glared at the purple-haired teenager. "Hey! Whose inventions got you out of that test? And I can't believe you trashed that scarf last week Thursday. You're lucky I have a spare."

Hitoshi lifted his finger and was about to say something but he paused and then nodded. "Touche! You got a point here. Sorry, what could I do against a girl who literally sweats acid?"

"Fixed it!" The two turning to Izuku who was able to fix the cube, pressing on a button which caused spikes to come out of it. This surprised the verdette who dropped the box before it bounced off the ground and went back in the hand, the teen closing his eyes as he waited for pain and discomfort. 'Goodbye hand!'

Noticing no aches on his hand, Izuku looked at his hand to notice that the spikes are made from rubber. "What the?"

"Yeah, it's a bouncy cube. Teach wanted for us to do something basic. But I want to start to work on my bigger babies." Mei said as she took the cube from him and put it in her bag before she took out a book and started to talk to Izuku about her drawings. "Look at these ideas. What are your thoughts on these babies?"

"Why are the lines so bent and crooked? It's at least looks better." Hitoshi commented honestly, Izuku raised a brow. "Yeah. Why aren't the lines straight?"

"It's hard to get this in a straight line. None of my babies could get it straight." Mei complained with a pout.

"What happen to the ruler I gave you?"

"Ruler?"

Izuku immediately knew the answer when she said that, pinching his nose as he looked at the drawings. "I'll get you one later."

As they made their way to the Support department's building, Mei quickly rushed towards the workshop with a frantic smile on her face with a singular goal on her mind. "Babies! I've missed you! Mama is gonna work on you now!"

"You've just been gone for a few days." Hitoshi commented, Izuku giving her back her book. "Mei! You forgot this!"

"Oh! Thanks, Izu!" The pink-haired girl said while taking the book before she took out her steampunk goggles and went to her class. As the two were about to leave, someone grabbed Izuku by the shoulder and turned him around as he came face-to-face with Power Loader who was giving him a serious expression. "Midoriya, I just want you to promise one thing."

"Uhhh. Ok." The verdette said nervously.

"I'm counting on you to drag her out of the workshop at lunch time again, Midoriya!" Power Loader gave him a thumbs up, Izuku feeling a bit sorry for the teacher as he nodded. "I understand, sir."

"Thank you! You have no idea how silent and serene it was after that menace left the place. Plus, she only listens to you." The teacher and some of the students bowed to him before they heard an explosion, running towards the source. "Hatsume!"

"It has not been that long since we have been in college and you've already made a big impression. Nice!" Hitoshi nudged Izuku's shoulder as the verdette let out a sigh. "It's just the Support Department and it's mostly because of Hatsume. They even call me a saint. I don't know how I do it."

"I mean, you manage to keep Mei in check. That's a skill in of itself."

"Oh, c'mon, Toshi. She's not bad."

"She makes chocolate tea with water. I consider her an enemy because of that."

Izuku could hold back his laughter when he heard that. "You were yelling 'Evil' while throwing pillows at her the whole time."

"Yeah. Keep laughing. You're lucky that you did not have to deal with something that breaks the laws of phys-"

"I put the milk before the cereal." Izuku said, Hitoshi moving away from him and making a cross sign with his hands. "Eviiiiillll! You heathen!"

"Hahaha!" The verdette held his stomach as he fell on the ground, laughing hard which made Hitoshi smack him on the head. "That's not funny, man."

"I've been meaning to ask you. What's with the hairstyle?" Hitoshi pointed at Izuku's hair, the verdette's usually messy hair now combed neatly to be parted on the right side of his face. "Big sis decided to have a say in my hair. I didn't get time to change it after work so meh."

"Hmmm. Neat." Hitoshi put his fingers on his chin and nodded. "At least that you do not look like a bush come to life."

Izuku and Hitoshi decided to go to their classes, Hitoshi hearing a beep on his phone before they passed the library. "Well, this is where I go. I need to pick up some things here."

"Alright. I'll see you at lunch." Izuku nodded before the duo separated and went their ways, Izuku taking out his notebook and turning to a page about his quirk, seeing the title which is Repel being crossed out and replaced for Shockwave, courtesy of Hitoshi.

"Hmm. My quirk acquires a lot of concentration." Izuku was walking through the hallways, enjoying the silence as he spoke to himself and made notes. "I will need to work on shortening the activation time of my powers. Then there's what it can do if I don't have my gauntlets. Yeah, the staff should help bu-"

"DEKU!" Izuku's body twitched at the sound of that nickname before he turned to see Katsuki. "What the hell are you doing here in UA?!"

"I-I-I passed the Remedial Course s-so-" Izuku was cut off when he was grabbed by his collar and slammed into the wall, the teen frozen in fear when he saw the blonde's glare at him. "That's the fucking problem! You should not be here! You're a damn useless Deku!"

Hearing that name and the other insults that the blonde threw at him, the verdette could not hold back his frustration despite his fear of the blonde before he opened his mouth. "...not Deku..."

"Huh? The fuck did you say?"

"My name's...not Deku."

"Huh? I can't hear you! You damn useless bastard!" Katsuki raised a brow as Izuku lifted his hand and grabbed his hand.

"I said my name is not Deku." Izuku said before he shot a defiant glare at the blonde which managed to shock him.

"My name...it's Izuku Midoriya. Don't underestimate me." The verdette clenched his teeth, his frustration and anger coming to the front as he gripped Katsuki's hand and pushed it away. 'What the hell? The hell is this grip? Was he ever this strong?'

"Leave me alone. Why won't you leave me alone?"

Seeing Katsuki's palm crackling in explosion, Izuku's body froze as he started to lose the strength in his body, the blonde about to grab him by his neck. "So you got balls now, huh? So you think just because you changed your hair, you can talk to me now, huh? Your name ain't Deku now, huh?"

"Bakugo. I said...what I said. If you're not gonna call me by my name...it's better that you don't talk to me at all. Please...leave me alone." Izuku stated with as much courage as he could. Hearing the bold words from the usual timid verdette and seeing his glare surprised Katsuki who gritted his teeth, barely holding back his anger as veins started to show on his face.

Deku. The quirkless Deku. The person who he views as nothing but a useless, talentless loser was speaking back to him.

"The hell did you say to me, you damn quirkless reject?" Katsuki shook in anger before he remembered something.

"I know! It's those gauntlets! I bet those gauntlets you had are the reason for your powers!" Katsuki grinned before it turned to a laugh as he lifted his hand. "There could be no other way for a punk like you to get a quirk! I'll destroy them!"

"B-bu-"

"What are you doing?!" A voice pierced the silence. The two turned to see a tall, burly, blonde dog humanoid with a muzzle on his face who was dressed in a yellow and black fur jacket and black combat pants and shoes, Izuku noticing the person. 'Hound Dog, the Hound Hero.'

"I asked. What are you doing?!" Hound Dog said with an aggressive tone as he approached the two teenagers. "I hope you don't mind letting him go...or do you want to explain it in my office?"

As the teacher glared at him, Katsuki clicked his teeth and released his grip on Izuku's shirt before he went to his class, leaving a frightened Izuku and an aggravated Hound Dog. The teacher noticed Izuku's odd behavior before he growled at the verdette. "There should be no conflict of any sort on the campus unless it has been authorized by a teacher or personnel of the college. If you have any differences, be mature when dealing with it. Understand?"

"Y-yes, sir!" Izuku nodded before he took out a notebook. "Umm...can I get an autograph please? You're such a cool hero."

"Was. My name is Ryo Inui." The man said as he took the notebook and put in his autograph as he spoke. "Those days are behind me. Today I work on being one of the guards for my alma mater. And a guidance counsellor. If you ever are in need of any guidance or want to speak about your problems. You can talk to me."

"O-oh, ok." Izuku nodded, getting a smile from the teacher before he gave him the book. "Good. Now go to your course."

"O-oh, yes sir." The verdette left, Ryo looked at the teen's retreating figure before he turned around and walked away. 'Could be my imagination...'

Izuku entered his class and sat down, his feet feeling like noodles and his head slamming the desk before he let out a huge sigh.

"You look like shit, man! What happened?" Yosetsu made a comment, getting a light chop on his head from Itsuka before she turned to Izuku with a worried expression. "Language but he is right. You look like you've seen a ghost."

"Did you meet the Grudge or something?" Setsuna said as she ate some lizard crackers. The verdette scratching his head with a smile. "I-I-I'm ok. It's just..."

He paused, remembering the intense fear that he felt when he saw Katsuki's exploding palm which made him start to pant a little and his body froze. Izuku started to sweat profusely as his mind projected a picture of the blonde's devilish smile showed on his face.

"Midoriya!"

"Huh? What?" Izuku was knocked out of his stupor as he looked around, unaware of his quirk awakening. His classmates looked at him with a mixture of worry and concern as Setsuna put a hand on his shoulder. "Are you sure you're ok? Did you really see a ghost?"

"N-no!" Izuku tried to catch his breath before he looked at his hands, rubbing his wristbands to calm himself. "I-I'm alright...I'm ok."

Before they could question him, their teacher came into the classroom and commence homeroom, Izuku tried his best to put back his fear behind him as he listened to his class. The verdette was unaware of a certain blonde in his class looking at him with a perceptive glare.

As they went through class, Izuku could only prepare himself as the students of class 1B went through another grueling quirk training session while class 1A are going through their regular subjects and electives. This continued until it was lunch time, Izuku deciding to have lunch outside in order to avoid having to encounter Katsuki.

The verdette enjoyed the breeze going through his hair as he read the latest hero article, Hitoshi looked at the phone and read the article. "Hmm. So All Might took down another group of villains? As expected, he's awesome. A quirkless murder case? That's strange."

"Hmmm. I don't like the sound of that. This is concerning."

"But why quirkless people though? Could it be a cult?" Mei said as she played with her wrench, Izuku wiping the food on her face.

"Maybe someone has a vendetta against quirkless people. Not sure."

'Either way, this is worrying. All the more reason for me to not let anyone know that I'm quirkless.' Izuku thought in worry.

The three continued with their conversation, Izuku let out a yawn before he felt a can of soda to his face, seeing Ochaco, Tsuyu and Mina. While they were conversing and enjoying themselves about the recent hero news, they were unaware of Katsuki whose eyes were twitching when he noticed Izuku talking with his group of friends. His palms let out small sparks before he bought his lunch and sat down on one of the benches.

'I can't believe it! That bastard…why is he here? He shouldn't have a quirk. He should be a loser.' He gritted his teeth, his bloodshot eyes glared daggers at the verdette who seemed to twitch.

"What's wrong, Bakugo?" Eijirou asked while eating his lunch before he followed his trail of sight to see Izuku. "Seriously, you're still butthurt about Midoriya being in the Hero Course?"

"Shut it, you pinhead!" Katsuki shouted before he unleashed an explosion that was easily blocked by his red-haired classmate. "Dude, you need to calm down. Why do you even care about what Midoriya does anyway? You should be more worried about Momo, Inasa and Todoroki. And also the test we have after this."

"His existence is an eyesore. Especially since he's in a place that he should not be in." The blonde seethed through gritting teeth, Eijirou letting out a sigh as he resumed to eat his lunch. Seeing the gauntlets coming out of Izuku's bag, the blonde felt another wave of anger coursing through his body as he remembered what Izuku said to him this morning along with the look on his face.

'I'll show you where you stand and how worthless you are, you quirkless shit.' The blonde thought before he ate his lunch.

Everyone continued with their activities until it was time for them to return back to their Heroic course, the students of Class 1A were informed to report to Ground Gamma in their PE uniforms and do their daily workout. After the students of 1A finished their exercise routine, Shouta nodded before he walked towards the group with a clipboard in his hands. "Everyone, gather around!"

The students nodded as they gathered in front of the man.

"Today, we will be doing a training simulation today." Shouta announced with his hands in his pockets, getting several questioning stares from some of his students as Mina cocked her head to the side. "Training simulation? That sounds exciting."

"What is this activity about, Mr. Aizawa sir?" Tenya raised his hand.

"This activity is called 'Capture the Flag'." Shouta explained, some of the students being intrigued and interested before he continued. "The goal of this practice is to get to the base of the team and take their flag. The round will be over once all of the members of one team are restrained or when one of the members have reached the others base and capture the flag."

Some of the students like Eijirou and Katsuki were very excited for this exercise while some held an indifferent expression. Meanwhile, Hitoshi crossed his arms as he continued listening to his teacher's explanations. 'Hmm. In that case, I don't have to exactly fight a direct fight. Just capturing them will be ok. Good.'

"We will be doing this in four groups of five members." The man stated before he announced the teams as everyone gathered to their respective teams. "Alright, good. Let's get started. Get your gears and weapons ready."

After the groups were distributed, Hitoshi found himself in a group with Denki, Kyoka and Ochaco, seeing them in their P.E outfits as some of them adjusted the weapons and gears on their bodies.

"Our team's pretty stacked, man!" Denki smirked as he put his arms around Hitoshi and Kyoka, the latter giving him a frustrated look before she wrapped her earlobe around his neck and pulled him to the ground. "You don't have to be so loud about it."

"Sorry..." The blonde said as he took out his tasers and practiced with them, Kyoka looking around the place and putting her earlobe onto one of the walls. "Hmm. This place is bigger than I expected."

"I mean, it is basically a labyrinth of pipes." Ochaco explained as she touched her shoes and clothes. While they were speaking with each other, Hitoshi looked at the other teams, noticing something different when he turned to Shouta. "Excuse me, Teach."

"What is it, Shinso?" The man said as he provided their team with handcuffs.

"I realize that our team has only four members. Is our fifth member late or absent today? Shouldn't we have twenty students in this class?"

"As of the moment, your classmate is absent and will not be able to join us until later in the year due to family issues. I understand their situation but if this was the case, I would encourage them to come next year but I don't make the rules around here. You'll just have to deal with that."

"Damn, that sucks." Denki rubbed his head.

"I mean...it could be worse. Weren't you the one that said our team is pretty stacked?" Kyoka nudged Denki who furrowed his brows. "Yeah..."

Hitoshi folded his arms as he watched the other groups preparing themselves for the exercise. 'So Group A has Todoroki, Iida, Yaoyorozu, Sero, Aoyama. That lineup is unfair. Todoroki and Yaoyorozu are a huge problem and then there's Iida with his speed. If we go against them, we're gonna be easy picking for them.'

He was cut out of his thoughts when he heard his teacher's announcement.

"Alright, the first match will Group B against Group D. Both team come to the stage right now."

As both teams came up to the stage, Hitoshi noticed that the group they were facing consisted of Eijirou, Mina, Tsuyu, Tokoyami and the last person being someone that he noticed. 'He's that blonde that bumped into Zuku a few months ago. I remember he was shaken up by that encounter.'

Shouta gave the two groups a map and a flag before he clapped his hands.

"Go to your stations. You have ten minutes to prepare before the activity starts." The two teams did as told as they went to different sides of the battleground.

"We need a plan." Hitoshi stated while looking at the map. "Uraraka, you've been here the longest out of all of us. Do you know the quirks of the people we're going against?"

Ochaco put her fingers on her chin as she recalled their quirks. "Well...Bakugo can shoot explosions from his hands, Kirishima can harden his skin and I think Tokoyami can control the darkness, I guess."

"You guess..." Kyoka raised a brow which made Ochaco explain further. "It's a bit hard to explain but he summons a shadow bird creature. How do you not know this?"

"Why should I care about their quirks? I'm here to be a hero, not a quirk analyst." The purple-haired teenager crossed his arms before they all thought about the situation until Denki raised his hand. "How about I do defense? My quirk may be good but it still takes a lot for me to focus on a singular opponent without shocking you guys. It's best I protect the flag so I can let loose."

They all thought about it before they nodded, him going to the back while Kyoka put her earlobes on the ground and a wall. "I can do surveillance and report any movements and sounds I pick up. "

"Got it. You do that. Uraraka, you'll be fighting on the frontline with me." Hitoshi said as he leaped to a vantage point, taking out a pair of binoculars and looking for his opponents, Ochaco nodding as she started stretching. "I'm not sure how I'm going to fight against Bakugo though...he's like a demon."

"Hmm..." Kyoka thought before she had a plan. "Hey, Uraraka. I have an idea. Would you hear me out?"

"Oh ok." Ochaco said, this caught the attention of their team as they all listened to her. "Why don't we do this..."

On the other side of the battleground, Group D was discussing their plans except for one person, Katsuki Bakugo, who ignored them. Mina was frustrated by the blonde's attitude which made Eijirou walk up to him to speak with him. "C'mon Bakugo. This activity is a team effort. You can't go solo, man."

"Shut the hell up, Pinhead!" Katsuki shouted angrily before he started walking away. Eijirou grabbed his shoulder only to be pushed back by the blonde who glared at him. "Get off me!"

He was about to raise his hand but was stopped by a black shadowy hand, the two turning to Tokoyami who walked to them dressed in a black cloak as the hand retreated back under the cloak. "Bakugo, you need to have a plan. You can't go in guns blazing. Calm down!"

"Tch! I am calm!" Katsuki scoffed before he left. His team members decided to make their plans without him. After some time, Shouta looked at his phone before he took out his microphone.

"Now start the match!"

Hitoshi and his team were on the lookout, seeing nothing as they waited for their opponents. "How are things, Jiro?"

"Quiet so far...wait!" Kyoka paused until she flinched in pain and grabbed her ears. "I hear explosions...ouch."

Hearing that, Hitoshi looked again before he noticed explosions in the distance, he then warned his team as he got into a battle position. 'Here we go.'

In the waiting room, the rest of class 1A was watching the battle beginning as huge explosions started to travel through the battleground towards Hitoshi's team's location.

"Woah! Who's doing all that?" Toru said in shock, Momo looking at the screen before she made a sigh. "There's only one person who's that impatient."

As Group B waited, Kyoka turned to her team. "Now!"

Suddenly, Katsuki leaped into the air, a huge menacing grin on his face which managed to unnerve some of his classmates. Dashing towards them, he went to shoot an explosion that everyone evaded, about to attack again before he had to dodge two earlobes jacks from Kyoka which surprised him. "You think that's gonna stop me?!"

He then maneuvered around their attacks, traversing the place before rushing towards Ochaco, about to shoot an explosion at her. "Fuck off!"

Before he could do anything, a tape wrapped around his hand which stopped him before he was slammed him into a wall.

"The hell?" He squirmed in his binding, trying to use his quirk which didn't help before he looked up to see Hitoshi who was holding the capturing scarf. "Put the cuffs on him quick!"

His teammates rushed at Katsuki who was thrashing harder but it didn't work. Kyoka noticed something from behind her, immediately pulling Ochaco out of the way as a shadow creature attacked them. It then lashed at Hitoshi who had to dodge, losing his grip on Katsuki which the creature grabbed the blonde before retreating.

"What the? Let go of me! I can crush them easily!" The blonde cursed loudly as he tried to punch the shadow who let out a sigh of annoyance. "Dude. Why don't you take a chill pill? You were getting owned out there?"

Seeing what happened, Ochaco was about to rush towards them before she saw a tongue coming towards her, dodging it as she noticed Tsuyu. "Sorry, Ochaco. Ribbit."

She then noticed Mina skating towards them and swinging her arms, waves of purple liquid oozing out of her arms to the pipes which melted them. "No hard feelings, ok?"

"What the hell?" Ochaco said as she and Kyoka had to dodge the falling pipes. As a bunch was about to hit them, Hitoshi grabbed the pipes with his scarf, using all his might to lift them up. Kyoka and Ochaco nodded at each other before the brunette tapped the pipes and then turned to Hitoshi.

"Throw the pipes towards the group, Shinso!"

Hitoshi did as told as he lifted the pipes and threw them, Ochaco putting her hands together. "Release."

Seeing the debris falling towards them, Tokoyami used his Dark Shadow to shield them against the debris, Eijirou helping as well with his quirk as he charged through the falling pipes. "Don't underestimate me, pipes!"

"Alright, guys. We need to-" Before the redhead could continue, a loud sound pierced through the air and assaulted their ears, the team looking around to see Kyoka who had her earlobes against the pipes and vibrating them. Seeing this, he tried to attack the goth girl but the noise was too unbearable. "Crap..."

During the brawl, Dark Shadow put Katsuki on the ground, the blonde immediately got back up and went towards his opponents but he was stopped by Ochaco, Eijirou about to assist him but an earlobe went around his chest before he felt an intense vibration coursing through his body which knocked him out.

"Outta my way!" He raised his hand which was grabbed by Hitoshi as it left him open to a smack across his face from the brunette that sent him spinning to the ground. Katsuki was shocked, feeling an intense pain on his cheek. 'What the fuck? Was that her quirk? Shit!"

Feeling the ache on his cheek, the blonde tried to attack again but he was stopped when he was effortlessly thrown into a wall that knocked the wind out of him.

"Awesome! Group B's on fire!" Toru cheered as the others were surprised by the performance of their new classmates. "How are they so good? They just came to the course."

"Group B has amazing synergy. They're using their abilities to the greatest of their abilities and this is the result." Shouta explained before he glared at them. "I hope that you all will take class seriously and sharpen your skills. Because who knows, we may have to question if the remedial course students are really the actual heroes."

Everyone looked at each other before they continued watching the match. Kyoka did not waste time when she put the capture cuffs on Eijirou, signaling his disqualification in the exam. On the other hand, Ochaco was trying to get Mina who was able to avoid her grab gracefully.

"C'mon, Ocha. You gotta be better than that." The pink girl grinned before she went for a kick which Ochaco dodged. Not missing a beat, Mina slid around the brunette before hitting her with a roundhouse kick. As they continued their brawl, Toru was cheering on Mina. "I keep forgetting how flexible she is. Mina's so cool."

Seeing the rhythmical movements of the pink-haired girl, Shouta's eyes squinted. 'Interesting. She knows Capoeira. That's a rare fighting style.'

Keeping on the offensive, Mina giggled as her rhythmical movements started to push back Ochaco until she made the brunette fall on her butt. "You're so predictable, Ocha!"

Seeing the situation while holding his own against Tokoyami and Tsuyu, Hitoshi grabbed Tsuyu by the leg but the girl was too strong for him which made him have to let go of her as Dark Shadow was coming towards him.

"Come at me, bro! Hug me, Brotha!" The creature said, unaware of the smile on Hitoshi's face.

"Attack your teammates."

At that moment, Dark Shadow immediately froze in its tracks, much to the surprise of Tokoyami and Tsuyu. "W-what's happening?"

"Dark Shadow..." Tokoyami called to the creature but it did not move.

After a moment of silence, the creature slowly turned around until it attacked the group which caught everyone off guard.

"What on earth?" Sero said in shock as he watched the brutality of the shadow creature. "What a quirk!"

'What was that? He can command things to do his bidding?' Shoto thought while Momo was watching the situation keenly. As Tsuyu and Mina were being attacked by Dark Shadow, Hitoshi held down Tokoyami before she shouted at Ochaco. "Get the flag!"

Nodding, Ochaco dashed at full sprint towards the flag as Kyoka was able to disorientate and put the handcuffs on Mina before she prepared to go after Tsuyu. Everyone in the breakroom were watching in anticipation, some of them getting ready for their round as they saw Ochaco about to reach the flag. 'I'm almost there.'

Suddenly, an explosion shook the area, surprising everyone as they waited for the smoke to clear.

"What happened?"

"She was so close!"

They all saw Ochaco shaking on the ground, coughing from the smoke before she slowly got up and look forward. Everyone looked to see Katsuki who had a look of rage on his face as his crimson pupils got smaller.

"I don't like that look in his eyes." Hitoshi mumbled as he saw small crackles coming from the blonde's palms.

Seeing their goal just a few inches, Ochaco took off towards the flag only to be hit by a powerful explosion that sent her flying into a wall, knocking the wind out of her.

"Uraraka!" Her team called for her before they saw the girl struggling to get up and keep conscious with her body covered in bruises. 'I gotta keep strong. I have to hold on.'

Suddenly, she received a double drop kick from Katsuki to the stomach which made her vomit as everyone watched in shock. Katsuki did not care as he delivered a final explosion that sent her across the field and nearly into a wall before Hitoshi grabbed her with his scarf.

"That's kinda harsh. Don't you think?" Sero winced as he saw Ochaco coughed as she fell on his knees, Momo turning to her teacher as she watched in concern. "Shouldn't we stop this?"

Katsuki was slowly approaching Hitoshi and Ochaco with his palms crackling, about to attack them before he suddenly tripped, turning to see an earlobe wrapped around his foot.

"Hope you like vibrations!" Kyoka said before unleashing a strong vibration through the blonde's body. Shaking and quivering in rage, Katsuki endured the assault before he glared at Kyoka and dashed towards her with an explosion. "Bitch!"

Not wasting time, Hitoshi put down Ochaco and chased after the blonde but he was too late when Kyoka dodged an explosion until she was grabbed by the hair.

"You're not going anywhere!" Katsuki shot multiple explosions to the raven-haired girl's face. Everyone winced when they heard the cries of Kyoka echoed through the battlefield, Hitoshi quickly putting his scarf around Katsuki's arm but it did nothing when the blonde slammed the girl's face to the ground.

"Don't think this is gonna stop me again!" He yelled as she shot an explosion that propelled him towards Hitoshi. 'Shit! I can't use my weapon.'

"Fal-" He could not be able to complete his command when Katsuki landed a heavy kick to his face, making him dizzy and causing his nose to bleed profusely. Katsuki did not stop though, sending an explosion that sent Hitoshi into a pipe which knocked him out. The blonde seethed in rage before he dashed towards Group B's base at an outstanding speed, his face etched in anger.

Meanwhile, Denki was wondering what was happening, not hearing anything from his teammates before he saw Katsuki flying towards him.

"What the hell is going on?" He wondered before his body emitted electricity. Katsuki did not care, raising his hand to attack. "I'll kill you!"

"But why though?" Denki asked, taking out his tasers as he unleashed a wave of electricity which Katsuki tried to move away from but Denki smiled which confused Katsuki before he was electrocuted.

"Dude. There's a lot of metal around the place."

"Shut the hell up!" Katsuki said as he endured the electricity. Flowing with rage, the blonde unleashed a powerful explosive wave that knocked back Denki, dashing towards the lightning user before he put two palms on his chest. "Die!"

"No, you!" Denki grabbed him before he unleashed a powerful blast of electricity at the same time Katsuki shot an explosion, sending the two flying back into a wall as a powerful shockwave destroyed the room. As the smoke cleared, Shouta's eyes squinted when he saw both Katsuki and Denki unconscious before he called the match.

"That's it! It's a tie!"

After his announcement, the recovery bots appeared on the scene and took away all the heavily damaged students. As they were escorted, some of the students winced when they saw the state of Kyoka's face which made Toru worried before she turned to her teacher. "Is she going to be ok, Mr. Aizawa?"

"Yes. Trust me, Recovery Girl will get her in one piece." Shouta said in a reassuring tone. While this was happening, Katsuki suddenly woke up, looking around to see that the match is done but in a tie which made him frustrated. 'Fuck! That damn Sparky motherfucker got me off guard!'

The blonde then walked away from the battlefield with his hands in his pockets, uncaring of the people that he injured.

"Bakugo." He looked up to see two crimson pupils glaring at him. Shouta stood in front of the blonde with his arms crossed which made him scoff in annoyance. "The hell do you want?"

"Did I not told you to take it easy and calm down?" Shouta raised his voice to which Katsuki let out another scoff before he was wrapped up by the teacher's binding cloth which made him fall to the ground.

"What the hell? Let go of me!" He struggled against the bindings before Shouta crouched in front of him. "You're an adult. A hero in training. Act like it. You will be punished for this."

"..." Katsuki was silent as he focused on getting out of his restraints which made the black-haired man let out a sigh. 'Great. Another headache...'

"Remember what you came here for. You came here to be a hero, not a hooligan. We're here to incapacitate or take down the villains, not kill them. You will cause unnecessary damage if you continue to act like that."

Shouta then released the blonde from his scarf, Katsuki getting up before he walked to his place and sat down. Seeing the students being taken by the bots, Shouta made his next announcement with an exhausted expression. "Alright, let's get the next match over with. Group A and Group C! Go on the battlefield now!"

As the two groups went to their side of the battlefield, Momo was observing the place on her map along with her team while thinking of a plan.

"How should we go about facing our opponents?" Tenya asked as he checked the place, the girl creating a katana from her arm before she answered. "Well, you and Sero have the most mobility out of all of us without having to make a lot of noise but the problem is Inasa. His quirk is dangerous to face against without a good counterattack."

"What are you talking about? We have Todoroki. What can Inasa do against that?" Sero said to which Aoyama agreed with.

"A lot if he is thinking correctly." Tenya crossed his arms.

"So what are you planning?" Sero asked while he was watching the battleground at a vintage point. "My tape could hold him down."

"With how extremely skilled he is with the wind. There aren't many objects I can think of that can shut down his power. We need to hold him off as long as we can or incapacitate him." Momo folded her arms as she looked around the place, the girl trying her best to avoid Aoyama posing in the background.

"What about Sato and Ojiro? Those two are dangerous too. Ojiro's a black belt and Sato's a juggernaut!" Sero questioned about the matter, Tenya str. "They have a lot of strength but I should be able to catch them off guard with my quirk and capture them."

"As for Inasa, despite his control, he is still controlling wind and he will need a lot of it to piece through a sheet of ice so I can play defense and wear him out." Shoto suggested. After a while, Momo clapped her hands together before she pointed at Tenya. "I've got a plan to win this. This plan is completely dependent on you, Iida."

"Me?"

"Yeah. Come. Here's the plan." Momo said as she explained the plan to her teammates.

On the other side of the battlefield, Shoji was by a wall, eyes and ears sprouting from his multiple arms before he turned to his group. "How should we deal with a powerhouse like Todoroki?"

"Don't forget that Yaoyo can create anything from her body. I can spy on them." Toru chimed in as she stretched. During their conversation, Inasa was silent as he looked to the sky, his expression unreadable as his gaze went to the ground. With clenched fists, he turn to his team and spoke. "I'll deal with Todoroki."

Everyone looked at him with surprised faces, Ojiro decided to speak first. "Are you sure? Todoroki's no cakewalk."

Inasa nodded silently which surprised his team before they continued with discussing their plans. After some time, Shouta made the announcement which started the exercise, Toru quickly going on the move as she turned invisible and scouted the area.

'Nothing unordinary so far. No traps either.' The invisible girl thought as she carefully wandered the place, her performance putting a small nod of appreciation from Shouta. 'Despite her loud attitude, she's serious when the time calls for it. Good.'

After some time of looking around and noticing nothing, she found the base for the other team, watching Momo was keeping watch along with Sero while Todoroki and Aoyama was in the back guarding the flag. Checking the place around for anymore traps and finding nothing, Toru reported back to her group.

"Coast is clear. They're all here."

Upon hearing that, Ojiro, Rikido and Inasa immediately dashed onto the battlefield, silently following Toru as she led them to the base. As they silently advanced, Momo let out a small smile when she noticed the invisible girl through her thermal goggles, gesturing Tenya to move. "It's your time."

"Got it!" Tenya saluted before he crouched down which Toru noticed. "Oh no you don't."

Suddenly a laser was flying towards her, the girl instinctively turned invisible as the laser hit her, reflecting off her body and creating a flash of light that blinded everyone. "What the hell?"

Within the break room, Shouta watched in surprise as he watched the match, making a few notes as he continued. 'She can reflect light off her body. Interesting.'

"That's quite manly there." Eijirou said excitedly, getting a nod from some Tsuyu and Tokoyami. "Manly isn't the word I would use but ok."

"Go Toru!" Mina cheered on

Taking advantage of the situation, Toru rushed at full speed towards the flag, sidestepping Sero's tape as she reached for the flag. 'Almost there.'

Suddenly, a wave of ice spikes was coming towards her which she had to dodge, the ice getting bigger until it nearly covered the whole field. The rainbow-haired girl fell on her butt as the rest of her team barely dodged the move.

"Holy crap..." Toru said when she looked at the ice sculpture in shock. Shoto let out a breath, walking towards her and her group with a calm expression.

"I'm sorry but we need to win." He said, ice started to form around his right arm and leg until the ground started to freeze. "Don't take it personal."

Suddenly, a blast of wind destroyed the ice, creating a shockwave that pushed back everyone. This surprised Shoto as he turned to see Inasa who was standing on a water tank.

"Todoroki..." He glared at the red and white-haired boy.

Shoto was indifferent as he went for another attack which was stopped by Inasa, wind colliding with ice as they both traded blasts with each other. Shoto unleashed several spikes of ice that were met by a barrage of air blasts before Inasa creating a powerful tornado which Shoto stopped with a wall of ice. The red and white-haired teenager dodged another blast by skating on the ice before unleashing shards of ice to stop Inasa's cyclones. As the two fought against each other, their teammates were pushed back by the shockwaves created by their collisions which Todoroki noticed as he tried to push Inasa away from their base.

Within the waiting room, everyone watched in shock and awe at the battle between Shoto and Inasa, Hitoshi and his group came back to the room, covered in bandages. Seeing Ochaco, Tsuyu and Mina ran to the brunette who had to sit down while holding her stomach. "Ochaco, are you ok?"

"Yeah..." Ochaco let out a shaky smile which made the two girls a bit relieved before they turned to Hitoshi who had a bandage on his nose and an annoyed look on his face. "How about you, Shinso?"

"I feel terrible. I'm gonna smell blood for a while since my nose is broken." Hitoshi said while rubbing his back. "My back seriously hurts."

"We're doing well compared to Jiro. Recovery Girl had to do serious checks on her. Kaminari's with her right now." Ochaco said before she shot a glare at Katsuki. They all then heard another explosion, seeing the battle between Shoto and Inasa, wind fighting against ice.

"My gosh..." Eijirou said as he saw their display in power.

"It's like I'm watching two titans duking it out." Hitoshi commented with a shocked expression, Ochaco nodded shakily in agreement. "More like two forces of nature battling with each other."

On the other side of the room, Katsuki watched the fight with a slightly annoyed expression before he scoffed. Meanwhile on the battlefield, Momo decided to not waste time as she capitalized on the situation by throwing some smoke balls which surprised her enemies.

"What the heck is this?"

"Smoke."

'I need to capture them as quickly as possible and defend the flag.' Momo thought as she took out a staff and katana before dashing towards their opponents. She took out a pair of thermal goggles, able to see her opponents through the smoke until she was intercepted by Toru.

"What the?"

"Don't rule me out yet!"

The two girls parted from each other before they dashed against each other again which surprised Momo. 'Can she hear me through the smoke?'

The two continued to battle each other until the smoke cleared, Momo's eyes widened when she saw Toru who was wielding two combat knives in her hands. She then swung her daggers against Momo's katana, the two clashing against each other.

"I'm glad to be able to do this. I have been training so hard but too bad these knives aren't tough enough to cut robots." Toru smirked cheekily as she continuously lashed at the raven-haired girl until the two parted away. 'She's very skilled with blades. But wait-'

"How did you get through the practical?" She asked to which Toru let out a groan. "Had to learn robotics. Including how to hijack a robot. You have no idea how much sleepless nights I had because of that."

"Hm!" Momo said with a straight face before the two continued to fight against each other. While they were doing their brawl, Ojiro was about to support his teammate before a tape went across his face as he faced against Sero. "Freeze, Ojiro!"

"So I have to go with this fight."

Sero shot two strings of tape that Ojiro dodged before the tape wrapped around his tail, he quickly clutched the tape and pulled Sero towards him. The blonde martial artist dashed towards the tape user and struck him repeatedly, the two trading blows until Sero was able to capture Ojiro in his tape. "What the? How?"

"You hit hard, man! Good thing I had the tape on standby. Just like a spider trap." Sero said, Hitoshi and the others surprised by this before they saw the tape user about to put the cuffs on him before he was tackled by Rikido that sent him skidding across the ground.

"Darn! Two-on-one! That is unfair!" Sero complained as he faced against Rikido and Ojiro, having to resort to dodging as the two attacked him. During her fight with Toru, Momo noticed the duo pushing Sero towards Aoyama, the latter shooting multiple lasers which they were able to dodge by pushing the other out of the way. 'This isn't good. We need to create some distance.'

"Todoroki, we need to stop them." She yelled, not getting any response from the red and white-haired teenager as he was occupied with fighting Inasa.

'This match is in complete chaos.' Shouta looked at the match, letting out a sigh as he looked at the time. 'It's almost time.'

Momo threw a smoke ball at Toru, taking the chance to dash at full speed towards Ojiro and Rikido as she outstretched her hand. Able to knock away Sero and Aoyama, the two males rushing towards the flag until something swept their legs, the turn to Momo who was running to them with a long staff coming out of her hand.

"Sorry but I can't let you pass." The raven-haired girl said before she noticed Toru about to attack her, positioning her elbow that made a pole come from it that almost hit the invisible girl. "Woah!"

'I need to end this quick. I'm almost at my limit. What are the best weapons for this scenario?' She took a moment to crouch down before her eyes widened. 'That's it!'

She suddenly dashed in a burst of speed towards her male opponents and smacked them across the face with her wooden sword which stunned the two. Not missing a beat, she spun around when she noticed Rikido starting to get up, one of her hands created an iron gauntlet which she used to punch him in the stomach.

'If it's just to stall some time, I can.' She spun around, noticing Toru in her peripheral before she swung her staff on the girl, knocking her back. She then noticed Rikido and Ojiro dashing towards the flag, almost touching the flag until they heard the bell signaling the end of the match which made Momo let out a sigh of relief and Toru and her team confused. "It's time already!"

"Group A wins!" Shouta announced which shocked everyone. Shoto and Inasa were still fighting, not listening to anyone around them before their powers suddenly disappeared which confused the two before they saw Shouta glaring at them.

"Get down here now. We have a lot to talk about." The raven-haired teacher said as he waited for everyone to gather. Looking around, the man saw his class gathered, some of them sporting bruises and wounds which made him massage his temples.

"Now for your first team practical exercise. I would say you did...poorly." When he said this, this got mixed reactions from the class, Katsuki glaring at him while Inasa and Shoto turned their gaze away as the teacher continued. "Well, I might be exaggerating but for the most part, I can see you all need to work on a lot more than teamwork. Some of you did good in this exercise, others...not so much. Despite this, this activity made me realize that there are things that you need to improve on...a lot of things."

He then took out his phone as he glared at the class. "Get ready to take notes because I do not want a repeat of this. Even if it's a little, I want to see improvement."

"Yes sir!"

"Alright. I guess I should start with Bakugo."

Katsuki smirked when he heard his name, ready to hear praise. "You are extremely skilled battle wise and have a powerful quirk. I would say that your battle instincts are one of the best in this class."

The blonde smirked, ignoring the glares from Hitoshi, Ochaco and Kyoka whose face was covered with bandages when Shouta continued.

"But..."

His eyes widened when hearing that as the teacher continued. "...your personality and inability to work with others are horrible to say the least. Pair that with your solo and battle hungry nature and that is a recipe for disaster. You think but you still act violently. You understand but you still act rashly."

Hearing this made the blonde very irritated. Never in his life has he ever been berated or judged by a teacher this harshly. He was always right, always better than everyone. He could do anything but glare as his teacher gave him a stern look.

"All of these are hindering you a lot. Also, you're unnecessarily violent towards your classmates. From you alone, a classmate has a broken nose, one has burn wounds and one has injuries that can last for a week...on their faces much less."

Katsuki looked and shook with anger before he heard the last words of his teacher.

"You're not a bully. You're a hero to be, remember that. Use your emotions as a weapon when needed. If you're not more careful, you will lose your place in this course. For these actions, you will be receiving a disciplinary probation of a week where you will have to do miscellaneous jobs. You will also need to do guidance counselling with Hound Dog. Understand?"

"Y-yes." The blonde said through clenched teeth.

After he finished berating Katsuki, Shouta turned to Ochaco who noticed before she looked down in shame. "Uraraka. You have a great quirk and a good understanding of said quirk, also, your willingness to work in any situation is admirable. But your quirk, you're using it in a basic way. This makes you too predictable and unable to do as much with it in situations when you can. Think out of the box. Be more creative. We have a dojo on campus and even have a public gym near Kawasaki. Find a fighting style that fits you as well as a way to use your quirk to help yourself and others. I will also be giving you a lot of exercising lessons."

Ochaco was surprised by this before she had a small smile and nodded. "Yes, sir!"

Shouta continued with his evaluation on the students, not holding back as he listed all of their shortcomings that he can. After he was finished, he noticed that his class' mood was down which made him rub his head before he put his phone in his pocket and turned.

"This was an adequate first attempt." His students looked at him as he hid his face with his scarf and his hair. "Let this be a first step. A mistake should not always be perceived as a bad thing. It just means that you have to try harder, just like our motto 'Plus Ultra'. You all have your shortcomings and weaknesses, find your way around them. And go beyond."

His class felt better as they had smiles and saluted. "Yes, sir!"

Shouta walked away, rubbing his eyes as he took out a packet of juice from his pocket and drank it. 'I can already see it. I'm gonna have a lot of sleepless nights because of this class. This is gonna be a rough year.'

And school drama continues. Bakugo being an ass to no one's surprise. Apart from that, things are getting started. I'm going to be honest, there are gonna be some changes to the curriculum but you'll know in the future. Also, Bakugo and Midoriya's first actual meeting is intense but Midoriya's balls dropped and I love it. No disrespect to the character but I don't like how he acts like around Bakugo in canon. It's one of the reasons I don't like Naruto. But it's all water under the bridge. I hope that you all enjoy the story so far and take care of yourselves.

Enigma out!
