Hey guys Goku here and I'm back with another chapter. Here are the reviews:
Miracles321: Thanks glad you enjoyed it, I hope that when I post this chapter it hasn't been too long.
Nathair1: Sorry about the wait, I don't like taking so long to post new chapters, but it all depends when I actually sit down to write. Some new guesses, I like that. Keep guessing as the story goes along I love seeing who you and others think the sins will be. Oh yeah Kyoka was joking, I could do a harem, but I'm not the biggest fan of harems so this story will only have Izuku and Kyoka dance around each other for however long, and maybe even some other couples might pop up *smirk*.
Dragon and Sword Master: I'm glad you agree. Yeah the inactivity was really due to summer and not really sitting down to write, video games can be very distracting. Kyoka's insecurities are definitely coming to a head soon whether Kyoka wants it or not, Diane be damned.
bullockcharles88: Glad you are enjoying the story. Yeah, I'm sorry for the wait. It's hard for me to stick to one task often and usually my stories end up on the back burner, unfortunately. I'll try and get chapters out as fast as I can, but I can't promise anything. I hope you'll still continue to read and enjoy despite that.
Alright, that's all for reviews, on to the chapter!
Izuku was waiting at the gates of U.A. the next morning thinking about the previous night. He was so lost in thought trying to plan for his date that he didn't notice the purple-haired rocker walk up to him.
Kyoka rolled her eyes at the boy's muttering and smiled as she shocked him with her jack. "You'll be late to class if you keep muttering like that, Green."
The shock jolted Izuku out of his thoughts as he turned to see Kyoka and smiled. "Oh hey, Kyoka. Sorry, I was lost in my head again." He said, rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment. The two continued to talk as they walked to class.
"No worries dude." Kyoka said. 'Why do I find his muttering cute?' She thought. "What was it this time? A new hero?"
"No actually, it was about last night." Izuku admitted.
"O-oh. Sorry about my mom. I should have realized she would have been waiting at the door listening for me." She apologized with a small blush on her face.
"You don't need to apologize. It didn't bother me." Izuku replied blushing slightly as he thought about the tip her mom gave him the previous night.
"So what do you think classes are going to be like?" Kyoka asked.
The two reached the door of the classroom and opened it to head in. "Hmm, they're taught by pros so it'll probably be exciting!"
"Which of these sentences is wrong?" Present Mic pointed to four English sentences on the board.
Izuku looked on with a face of disbelief. 'Nevermind. These are boring as hell! At least the teachers are actually teaching, unlike those idiots at Aldera.' Izuku thought in his mind as he put his head on his hand.
"Yaoyorozu!" Mic called the girl who raised her hand.
"Number 4 is wrong sir!" She called out.
"Ooh sorry little listener. Incorrect."
Izuku raised his hand.
"Midoriya!"
"Number 3."
"Correct!"
Izuku let out a yawn in response.
Kyoka chuckled slightly at the boy's demeanor which didn't go unnoticed by the pink-skinned girl sitting in the same row.
Izuku set his tray down at an empty table in the lunchroom. He sat down with his mouth salivating over the katsudon in front of him. 'Who would have thought that UA had the Cook Hero: Lunch Rush working in the cafeteria? 'He'll make anything the students want. Even katsudon!' He thought.
"Please don't only eat katsudon now." Ban complained.
"Hey, katsudon is a perfectly acceptable meal!" Izuku shot back out loud.
"You might want to keep it down unless you want to be known as the crazy guy arguing with himself." Kyoka said, setting down her tray and sitting down next to him. "Let me guess Ban is begging you to not only eat katsudon?"
Izuku sighed. "Got it in one."
"Can't say I blame him." Kyoka said, causing Izuku to look at her incredulously. "I don't understand your obsession with it or how you can eat it constantly." She explained starting to eat her food.
Izuku looked at her tray and smirked. "Big talk coming from someone eating katsudon right now."
Kyoka's eyes shot open and she quickly swallowed before turning away with a blush. "S-shut up! It's Diane's fault for liking pork so much!" The girl pouted.
"Hey! Pork is amazing!" Diane shot back.
Izuku laughed and went back to enjoy his food.
"Looks like the lovebirds are at it again," Mina said sitting down in front of the two.
"Lovebirds?" Izuku and Kyoka spoke together.
"What's the matter? Scared that I unraveled the mystery of your relationship?" Mina teased.
Izuku and Kyoka looked at each other before turning to Mina as Izuku spoke. "No, we're just confused as to why you said lovebirds."
"...What?!"
"Well, you called us lovebirds. That doesn't really make much sense. Neither of us are like birds at all. If anything I'd be a fox and Kyoka would be a serpent, but what would you call us then? Love-foxents?"
"I think it would be more love-serpox. Or maybe love-serpentox?" Kyoka suggested.
"That's too long though. Plus it just uses all the letters in serpent." Izuku countered.
"Well, it's not my fault that fox is only three letters. Any combination already uses more than half of the word."
"Why not something small and simple, like sox." Izuku beamed.
"I am not going to be called sox." Kyoka deadpanned.
Mina sat listening to the two banter with her eye twitching before she grabbed her head in frustration unaware of the silent conversation they had within their minds. "Ugh! Why is nothing ever simple with you two?!"
"Give it a rest Mina. It's only been two days and we all know you're never going to get a straight answer out of those two unless they want you to." Hagakure said, taking the seat next to her.
Mina sighed as the rest of their friends joined them at the table.
"I must say that UA has exceeded my expectations on a scholarly level. It is very wondrous that we are able to receive such quality education on our journey to become heroes. Wouldn't you all agree?" Iida exclaimed while chopping his arm.
His words were only met with sour faces around the table. "I wouldn't really put it like that Iida." Izuku said, causing the blue-haired boy to become confused. "Hey, where's Kirishima?" Izuku asked.
"Oh, he went to go sit with Bakugo. I think I heard him say something about Bakugo being manly?" Uraraka said.
Izuku turned to look for him and saw that Kirishima indeed had sat with Katsuki at his table. He then smirked as he saw Katsuki yell something at the red-haired boy before going back to enjoy his katsudon and talking with his friends.
After lunch, the class waited in anticipation for their first Heroics class.
"I am…" a voice spoke causing the students, minus Izuku and Kyoka, to get excited.
"...coming through the door like a normal person!" All Might said leaning into the room while holding onto the doorway.
"That's normal?" Ban spoke.
"He looks so goofy." Diane laughed.
"He looks so cool!" Kaminari said.
"Wow, he really is a teacher!" Kirishima said.
"That's his silver-age costume right kero?" Asui wondered.
"Welcome to Basic Hero Training! Here is where we will teach you the fundamentals to be a hero! This will be the class you spend the most time in. Now, let's get right into it! Today, we will be doing…" All Might held out his hand that had a card in it that said "BATTLE". "Combat Training!"
Both Katsuki and Izuku perked up at hearing his words.
"Combat…" Katsuki smirked
"...training." Izuku matched his smirk.
"And to do that, you'll need these!" All Might turned to the wall and pressed a button on the remote in his hand. Twenty cases popped out of the wall with numbers corresponding to the class's seating arrangement. "Costumes made based on your quirks and designs that you sent in before school began. Once you have changed, meet me in Ground Beta!"
All Might stood in the middle of an urban training area as the students started to pool out with their outfits in tow. "They say the clothes make the person. From now on remember… you are heroes! I must admit you all look cool! Now shall we begin zygotes?"
As All Might finished the final student stepped out of the tunnel. Izuku strolled out wearing a pair of green heavy pants that led down into a pair of dark green combat boots. Draped over his body was a large dark green cloak with a long collar that went down to his ankles. Under the cloak he wore a deep green undershirt with reinforced padding to help protect his body. Around his waist he had a black belt with pouches that held an assortment of items completing the outfit.
Izuku continued his stroll, hands in his pockets, as a majority of the class commented on his costume.
"He kinda looks badass, don't you think?" Sero said.
"So manly!" Kirishima cried.
Some of the girls, Kyoka included, blushed as they looked at him in his outfit.
'Wow… he looks…'
"He looks hot."
"Diane!"
"What? I'm only finishing your thought for you." Diane teased.
"I wasn't thinking that?"
"You say that like I can't see what's going on in here."
Kyoka's blush increased as she wished she could zap Diane with her jacks.
Diane laughed.
"Damn Deku, trying to show me up huh?" Katsuki shouted.
Izuku smirked. "Well, it's not my fault people like my costume more than yours." Izuku then noticed the large gauntlets on Katsuki's forearms. "I see you went with my suggestion for the stored sweat."
"I would have thought of it without your input anyway nerd!" Katsuki shouted back.
Izuku laughed as he heard a voice from behind him.
"Does he really have to be so loud? He's lucky that I can control the hearing of my jacks." Kyoka groaned.
Izuku turned around and his breath was caught in his throat. Kyoka was wearing a salmon-colored shirt that was slightly ripped at the bottom, and a pair of slightly baggy black pants that led down into large black boots with speakers on the front of them. Over her shirt, she wore a black leather jacket that went down to her midsection. She had a pair of light blue fingerless gloves that had metal studs on the knuckles, attached to the gloves were a set of small white speakers. A blue pair of headphones sat on her head and she had red markings in the form of little triangles under her eyes. Completing her look was a single black choker around her neck. Overall Izuku thought she nailed the badass rocker girl look. A little too well in his opinion.
"Good thing yer pants aren't that tight!" Ban laughed loudly.
"Shut it!" Izuku cried in his mind as he tried to calm himself.
Kyoka felt herself squirm a little bit under the stare that Izuku had on her. "Uh, dude. You good?"
Izuku blinked and quickly shook his head. "Y-yeah I was just… lost in thought again." He half-lied.
"Well, you better get yourself together cause it looks like All Might is starting." Kyoka said as the class turned towards their teacher. 'Why was he staring at me like that?'
"Oh come on Kyoka. It should be obvious! He was stunned by how you look in your hero outfit!" Diane said excitedly.
"What? No way. He was probably overanalyzing the logistics of my gear." Kyoka tried to argue.
"Wait a minute, where did you learn those big words?"
"I might have been listening into Izuku's muttering sprees from time to time." Kyoka admitted embarrassingly.
"You know I've seen that look he gave you from King plenty of times and I don't think your gear was what he was focused on." Diane teased and giggled.
"Oh, All Might is speaking. That is totally more important than this conversation that never happened." Kyoka deflected away from the topic to focus on what All Might is saying as Diane sighed and decided to drop the subject… for now.
"Most of the time fighting villains takes place in the limelight, out in the public eye. However, the most dangerous and vile villains hide themselves in the shadows. Today we will be conducting 2v2 indoor battles with one team being the heroes and the other taking on the role of villains." All Might spoke.
"Without any basic training?" Asui asked.
"One of the best ways to learn is through experience!"
"How will wins and losses be handled?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"How badly can we hurt each other?" Katsuki asked.
"Will we be threatened with expulsion?" Uraraka asked.
"How will teams be decided?" Iida asked.
"Let me explain, you zygotes!" All Might yelled out. "The scenario is this: the villains have hidden a bomb within their hideout. The heroes' job is to either catch the villains or secure the bomb before the time limit ends. The villains win if they can capture the heroes or defend the bomb until the time runs out. Teams and matches will be determined by drawing lots!" He exclaimed.
"Isn't that a haphazardly method?" Iida questioned hand raised.
"You're kidding me with the hand up right?" Katsuki deadpanned.
"Think about it Iida. Pro heroes often have to make teams and work with any hero that is available at the time and place." Izuku explained.
"Ah, I see. Excuse me!" Iida said doing a full 90-degree bow which Izuku had no idea how he was able to do that in a full suit of armor.
"Right, now let's begin!"
Kyoka looked at the letter G engraved on the ball in her hand and pouted slightly when she looked to her left and saw that Izuku's ball had the letter A on it.
"Upset that you can't work with your crush?" Diane teased.
"He's not my crush! I was just kinda hoping we would be together because we have been training together for a while now." Kyoka tried to explain.
"If you say so."
"I guess we're a team Izuku. Let's do our best!" Uraraka exclaimed.
Izuku smiled and nodded.
"The first teams up will be these!" All Might said as he pulled the letter D from the villain box and the letter A from the hero box.
Izuku looked around and saw Katsuki grin at him while holding up his ball with the letter D on it. Izuku smirked back.
"Heroes and villains take your places. Everyone else head to the control room."
Katsuki and Iida had set the bomb up on the top floor of the building. "Stay here and guard the bomb Four Eyes. I'm going after Deku."
"Bakugo wait! Are you sure it's wise to split up like this?!" Iida exclaimed grabbing Katsuki's shoulder.
Katsuki shoved the arm off him and turned to the armor-suited boy. "Listen Four Eyes! Deku's quirk lets him steal anything that he can see or perceive within his range. What do you think will happen if he comes here and sees the bomb?!" He yelled.
Iida's eyes widened with realization.
"I'll fight Deku and keep him away from the bomb. You need to stay here and keep Round Cheeks from getting the bomb, got it!" Katsuki yelled again.
"Yes of course. A brilliant strategy! Right, I will guard this bomb with my life."
"Whatever, just don't let Round Cheeks touch the bomb. I refuse to lose to Deku." Katsuki said before heading into the depths of the building.
In the control room, the class and All Might stood waiting for the match to begin as they conversed with one another.
"So who do you think will win this?" Kaminari asked.
"Hmm it's hard to say since we haven't known each other long, but considering the versatility of Midoriya's quirk I'm inclined to believe that the heroes will win this exercise." Yaoyorozu said.
"It'll be close." Kyoka said drawing the class's eyes to her. "It is true that Izuku has the advantage here. All he needs is to know is exactly where the bomb is and he can steal it, however, knowing the exact location is going to be difficult even with the communicators that they have. Bakugo will try and fight Izuku to keep him from the bomb while Iida defends." She explained.
"But couldn't Midoriya just steal Bakugo's strength and capture him easily kero?" Asui asked.
"He could, but Bakugo and Izuku have known each other for years and I guarantee Bakugo has trained to deal with Izuku's quirk." Kyoka explained.
"So you think Bakubro will win?" Kirishima asked.
"Izuku will win, but it'll be closer than you think." Kyoka smirked and crossed her arms.
"So what's the plan Izuku?" Uraraka asked.
"Why are you asking me for a plan?"
"Well, you seem to be pretty knowledgeable and you and Bakugo seem to know each other so I assumed you would know what to expect!" Uraraka beamed.
Izuku smiled and nodded his head before his face morphed into a serious expression. "Alright, so my quirk only works on things I can see or perceive where they are. Since we don't know where the bomb is I can't just steal it from the start. Even if we split up and you find the bomb I still wouldn't be able to take it as I don't know the exact layout of the building. Katsuki is very familiar with my quirk so my guess would be that he will come to distract me and keep me from finding where the bomb is. That would leave Iida to defend the bomb do you think you can handle him?" Izuku asked.
"I'll do my best!"
"I'll deal with Katsuki as fast as I can and then come to help you."
Uraraka nodded.
"Now let's begin the exercise! Heroes, you may enter the building." All Might's voice boomed in the student's earpieces.
Izuku and Uraraka entered the building and began to search the floors for the bomb. After scouring the first floor they didn't find anything so they went to head to the next floor until the smell of burnt sugar filled his nostrils.
"Go Uraraka." Izuku firmly stated.
"What what are you-"
"DEKU!" Katsuki came rushing down the hallway using his explosions to propel himself toward Izuku with his arm raised.
Izuku prepared himself to grab Katsuki's arm expecting the boy to start with a right hook like he always did. However, Izuku was shocked when he saw the explosion user flip around and throw his leg out for a kick making contact with Izuku's face as he was launched into the wall.
"Izuku!" Uraraka called out.
"Don't worry I'm fine. Go find the bomb."
"Right." Uraraka gave Izuku one last look before rushing off to the next floor to check for the bomb.
Izuku wiped the blood from his mouth as he smirked at Katsuki. "That's surprising. Normally you start off with a right hook."
"We sparred a lot dumbass. I knew I'd have to switch things up for you Deku!" Katsuki said grinning while making small pops with his hands.
"I see. It was smart of you to keep me from the bomb Guila. Although you know I could just steal your strength and capture you." Izuku said as he went to lift his hands up but before he could an elbow hit his chest knocking him back again.
"You can't steal from me if I'm too fast Deku!" Katsuki yelled as he blasted him to keep Izuku from getting up again.
"You may be fast," Izuku said as Katsuki was about to hit him with an explosion. "But I'm faster." Izuku disappeared and reappeared behind Katsuki kicking the explosive boy in the back, knocking him away. Izuku quickly moved in front of Katsuki and followed up with an uppercut sending the boy flying back. Katsuki used his quirk to right himself and land on the ground but felt his strength leave his body. He looked up and saw Izuku holding his hand out with a grin showing his sharp teeth.
Uraraka hurried around the building checking every floor for the bomb, eventually making her way to the top floor. She was about to start checking again but then she heard a muffled voice. She followed the voice and slowly peaked her head inside the room and found Iida standing next to the bomb boasting to himself.
"I am meant to play the villain in this exercise. That means I need to take on the role of a villain." The armored boy said before clearing his throat. "AHAHAHAHA THE HEROES WILL NEVER FIND WHERE WE HID THE BOMB AHAHAHAHA." He exclaimed in a stereotypical villain voice.
Uraraka tried to hold in her laughter but Iida's villain persona was too funny and she let a chuckle slip.
Iida quickly turned to the door. "WHO'S THERE. SHOW YOURSELF HERO!"
'Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag now.' She went into the room in a fighting stance.
"AH URARAKA SO YOU FOUND OUR SECRET HIDEOUT. NO MATTER I TOOK PRECAUTIONS FOR THIS. AS YOU CAN SEE I'VE REMOVED ALL ITEMS AND DEBRIS FROM THIS ROOM. YOU ARE NOW POWERLESS BEFORE ME AHAHAHAHAHAH!"
Uraraka held back another snicker before composing herself and running towards the bomb.
"IT'S NO USE. YOU'LL NEVER REACH THE BOMB IN TIME!" Iida ran forward blocking her path and keeping her away from the bomb no matter what she tried.
Uraraka held up her hand to her earpiece. "Izuku I found the bomb on the top floor but Iida is making it impossible to reach it." She radioed to her partner.
Izuku grinned at the weakened Katsuki who scowled back at him before he heard Uraraka call out to him over their communicators. The boy held his finger up to his ear. "Got it. I'll try to finish things up with Katsuki and head your way." He then looked back at the explosive boy. "This has been fun Guila but I need to finish this exercise."
"You think this is enough to beat me Deku! I'm not losing to you!" Katsuki shouted.
Izuku's expression turned serious as he sped to attack Katsuki again. Katsuki narrowed his eyes and predicted where Izuku would try to attack. Right when Izuku went to attack, Katsuki brought his gauntlet up and pulled the pin on it, unleashing a larger explosion that knocked the semi-immortal back. "You may have helped design these gauntlets that store my sweat but what you didn't design were the separate chambers I put in them for different levels of power!" The boy yelled. He then adjusted the knob on his gauntlets and quickly rushed Izuku who was getting up. "Now eat this full-power explosion you damn nerd!"
"Young Bakugo don't!" All Might called out over their communicators.
"He'll be fine! Now shut up and watch me win this!" Katsuki said as he pulled the pin again.
Izuku had no time to dodge so he just put his hands up to block his face from the incoming attack. The massive explosion hit him dead on, destroying a portion of the building behind him and kicking up dust obscuring Izuku from view.
Back in the control room the rest of the class watched as Izuku took the full force of Katsuki's attack with shocked and worried faces but continued to watch as the dust settled revealing Izuku standing there missing chunks of his body as well as his right hand and had blood all over him.
"Oh my god!" Yaoyorozu said, holding a hand over mouth.
"This is crazy!" Sero yelled.
"I didn't sign up for this!" Mineta exclaimed.
Asui watched with a horrified expression but noticed Kyoka had a neutral expression. "Um Jiro, shouldn't you be more concerned for Midoriya right now kero?" She said as the class turned to the rocker girl.
"Nah he's fine."
"What do you mean he's fine?! He is missing parts of his body and a freaking hand!" Kaminari yelled.
"Just watch. There is more to Izuku's quirk than what he's shown." Kyoka said, smirking, making the class look at her like she was crazy.
"Wait, look!" Mina called out. The class watched in shock once again as the holes in Izuku's body started to close up and his hand grew back as the blood on him turned into smoke.
All Might stood stoically watching the match playout.
"Well, that stung." Izuku said as he lowered his arms. "Gotta say those things are really powerful. I'd be screwed if it weren't for my regeneration."
"Young Bakugo don't use that again. It is detrimental for both the heroes and villains to destroy the building in which you are holding out. If you use it again I will stop this match and your team will lose." All Might told him.
"Tch fine. I don't need these to beat you Deku!" Katsuki yelled.
"I guess it's time I end this." Izuku sighed. The boy rushed forward in a burst of speed with his arm raised. Katsuki tried to react but Izuku was too fast.
"Banishing Kill." Izuku called out as his attack hit Katsuki making sure to hold back his strength to not actually kill the boy. Izuku stopped moving and turned around to look at Katsuki who was injured and breathing heavily but still standing.
"Heh… nice try Deku… but you won't… beat… me…" The boy huffed out before his eyes glazed over and he fell down unconscious.
Izuku calmly walked up to him and wrapped his capture tape around him.
"Young Bakugo has been captured!" All Might called out.
"You know you probably coulda ended that at the start right?" Ban said.
"I know. It just didn't seem right to win this instantaneously. Plus I'd rather not reveal all of my abilities if I can help it." Izuku replied.
"Hmm, fair."
"Well now that that's done, I should head to help Uraraka." He said to himself as he ran off towards the top floor.
Uraraka kept trying to touch the bomb using her quirk to float over to it, but every time she got close Iida would use his quirk and move the bomb away. "YOU'LL NEVER REACH THE BOMB HEROES! IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE CLOCK RUNS OUT AHAHAHAHAH!"
"Pfft," Uraraka tried not to laugh again. 'Iida makes it impossible to get the bomb. I guess I just need to wait for Izuku. I just hope he can make it here in time.' She thought.
Suddenly the whole building shook. "What is that?" Iida said breaking character for a moment.
Uraraka saw that Iida was distracted and made a break for the bomb, but Iida recovered and moved the bomb away again.
"Dang it!"
"AHAHAHAHAHA NICE TRY HERO BUT YOU WON'T GET THE BEST OF ME. WITH MY PARTNER DISTRACTING YOURS WE ARE SURE TO WIN!"
"Young Bakugo has been captured!"
Iida stood there for a moment before recomposing himself. "AH I SEE… NO MATTER. TIME IS ALMOST UP. YOUR PARTNER WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND THIS ROOM IN TIME! HAHAHAHAHAHAH."
"Um Iida, you might want to turn around." Uraraka said smiling while scratching her head with her finger.
"I WON'T FALL FOR YOUR SILLY RUSES HERO!"
"Hero Team wins!" All Might called.
"What?" Iida turned around only to see that the bomb was gone.
"You know," Iida heard a voice behind him. "If you wanted to keep the bomb hidden maybe you shouldn't be boasting and laughing so loud." Iida turned to the voice and saw Izuku smirking near the entrance to the room with his hand on the bomb next to him.
Both teams returned to the control room minus Katsuki who was taken to Recovery Girl on a stretcher.
"That was such a manly showing you guys!" Kirishima called out.
"Yeah you guys looked really cool out there!" Hagakure said.
"But Midoriya, how did you heal those injuries? I mean your freaking hand got blown off!" Kaminari asked.
"Oh, you know I was kinda hoping to keep that aspect of my quirk secret but I guess that's out now cause of Guila." Izuku said sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head. "A secondary aspect of my quirk is regeneration. Any injury I get I can heal back from."
"Wouldn't that make you immortal then kero?" Asui asked with a finger on her chin.
"Almost," Izuku laughed. "The only damage I can't heal is to my brain so any injury there is permanent."
"Dude, that's overpowered." Sero said.
Izuku walked over to stand next to Kyoka.
"Nice job," Kyoka praised. "Although you probably could have ended that fight a lot sooner you know."
Izuku drooped down. "You know I'm beginning to think that maybe you and Ban should have merged with how often you say the same things"
"We say the same things cause we're both right. Plus I'm good. Besides, you don't want to have Diane in your head anyway."
"Hey!" The giantess retorted in their minds as the two teens shared a laugh unbeknownst to the pink skinned girl that was watching and heard their conversation.
'Who are Ban and Diane?'
"Alright now Young Midoriya is the MVP! Would anyone like to wager why?"
Yaoyorozu raised her hand. "Midoriya predicted that Bakugo would come after him so he wisely sent Uraraka to find the bomb. Bakugo was reckless with his gauntlets and underestimated Midoriya and lost because of it. Uraraka did well in finding the bomb, however her laughter at Iida's… eccentricities cost her the element of surprise, having to rely on Midoriya to secure the bomb. Iida gave away the position of the bomb to not only Uraraka but Midoriya as well, costing his team the win. Midoriya took care of Bakugo with ease and was able to quickly find the bomb and secure it with his quirk." The prim and proper girl stated as the class stared at her.
'She said a lot more than I thought she would.' All Might thought nervously before clearing his throat. "Right you are! Well why don't we start the next matches! Use this first round as a learning experience for your next matches!" All Might continued.
They went through a few matches before finally it was Kyoka's turn. The girl turned to Izuku. "Wish me luck!"
"You don't need it." Izuku replied with a smile.
Kyoka blushed but nodded her head as she went to go plan with her partner.
"Oh? Cheering on the one you love! So cute!" Mina teased.
"No it's not that." Izuku said, making Mina stare blankly at him. "I know Kyoka's abilities and I'm confident that she'll win this no problem." He finished causing Mina to grumble.
The class watched as the villain team consisting of Yaoyorozu and Mineta were fortifying the bomb room with metal plates made from Yaoyorozu's quirk. Well she was fortifying. Mineta was busy leering at the girl.
Izuku growled as he saw this. "I warned that grape bastard."
Kyoka stood waiting for the exercise to start but her mind was occupied by Izuku's comment earlier. 'Does he really have that much confidence in me?'
"Of course he does!" Diane exclaimed. "You two have been training together for months. He's seen what you can do and he knows what you are capable of! Plus he likes you!"
"He does not like me! How many times have we been over this!" Kyoka yelled.
"He called you beautiful!" Diane pointed out.
"So? Just because he called me beautiful doesn't mean he likes me!" Kyoka argued.
Diane sighed. "Listen Kyoka, ignoring whether or not he likes you, which he does." Kyoka growled. "He trusts in you and your abilities and you should too! He's your friend, your teammate. Trust in the trust he has for you." Diane spoke.
"Hey Jiro!" Kaminari called out breaking Kyoka out of her thoughts. "Are you ok? I've been trying to get your attention but you haven't been responding."
"Oh, sorry I guessed I spaced out." The girl apologized.
"It's cool. I was just thinking we should tell each other our quirks to help work together on this." The blond haired boy said.
"Oh yeah sure. I can plug my jacks into anything and use them to hear up to a certain distance. I can also use the vibrations of my heart to do all sorts of things."
"Is that how you were controlling the ground during the quirk tests?" The boy asked.
"Yeah I can use my vibrations to manipulate the earth anyway I want."
"I have no clue how that works but hey I never claimed to be a man of science despite my quirk being electricity. Anyway, like I said, my quirk lets me channel electricity through my body to shock anyone or anything, but I can't aim it." Kaminari explained.
"Heroes, you may now enter the building!" All Might said.
"So you seem pretty confident that Jiro's going to win this Izuku." Uraraka said next to him.
"Yeah. Kyoka's quirk is very versatile and I can't imagine Mineta or Yaoyorozu to be able to counter it although Yaoyorozu's quirk is also very versatile and she seems intelligent so maybe she can."
"But isn't her quirk just her ear jacks?" Ojiro questioned.
"Nope. Her ear jacks are just a mutation. She can use them to plug into any surface and hear within a certain range but her real quirk is Vibro-Manipulation."
"Vibro-Manipulation?" Sato asked, confused.
"She can use the vibration of her heart to send attacks out or control the ground." Izuku explained using the cover story that the two came up with to explain Diane's power.
"Is that why she was able to move the ground around during Mr. Aizawa's tests kero?" Asui asked.
"Yep. Although she might be limited in a building since she won't have direct access to the ground."
"But you're still confident that she'll win?" Hagakure asked.
"Uh huh. Just watch and you'll see what I mean." Izuku said, smiling at the display.
Kyoka and Kaminari entered the building and started making their way forward. "Hold on." Kyoka said. She plugged her jack into the wall and listened in. She heard footsteps coming from a couple floors above them. "They're a couple floors above."
"Alright let's go."
The two made their way up to the floor Kyoka found. Once there she used her jack again to find the room. Once she found it she silently pointed to it. The two approached the door slowly so as to not alert the villain team that they were there. Kyoka once again used her jack as well as her Creation power to scope out the room.
"Ok I'll rush in there and go to shock them both." Kaminari whispered as he began to run at the door.
Kyoka's eyes widened as she yelled out to her teammate. "Wait!"
Kaminari didn't hear her and ran straight into the door, bouncing off it with a metal clang and falling back clutching his nose as the door remained still.
"You idiot. You should have waited for me to finish scouting the room first." Kyoka sighed. "It looks like Yaoyorozu barricaded the door with some sort of metal. Are you ok?" She looked at her teammate.
"Yeah. Aw man, that's definitely going to bruise." Kaminari complained.
"That's why we have Recovery Girl."
Meanwhile inside the room the two hero students heard the clang of Kaminari hitting the door and prepared themselves. Yaoyorozu made a metal bo staff and got into a stance. Mineta nervously stood with some of his balls in his hands.
Back outside the door Kyoka hummed to herself. "She reinforced the door with metal. Guess it's time to put metal against metal." She said confusing Kaminari. "Heavy Metal!" The girl called out as her body turned into a metallic color.
"What? You can do that? Is your body like metal or something?" Kaminari exclaimed.
"Get ready." She told her teammate who shook his head and nodded and prepared some electricity in his hand. Kyoka stood in front of the door double checking the layout of the room before cocking her arm back and punching the door making sure to hold back her strength. The metal plates bent and shifted as the door was blown away. Mineta had the unfortunate luck of standing in the direct path of the door as the now-flying object crashed into him, carrying him back and slamming him against the wall knocking him out.
Kyoka and Kaminari entered the room, the metal color leaving her body.
"You might as well give up now. It's two on one." Kaminari said. He stepped forward not noticing the thin tripwire in front of him as he tripped it and a line of capture tape shot out at him, wrapping around his legs.
"Young Kaminari has been captured!"
"Aw man!" The boy exclaimed.
"Actually I believe it is 1 on 1." Yaoyorozu said with a smile. "I'll admit I did not expect you to be able to break through the reinforced door so easily. However I made sure to plan for the worst."
"I should have expected that honestly, considering your analysis for Izuku's match." Kyoka noted. "But that's not going to stop me!" She shouted as she stuck her jacks into her gloves and pointed them at Yaoyorozu. "Heartbeat Wave!" She shot out a large blast of sound at the raven haired girl.
Yaoyorozu's eyes widened as she got hit by a blast at the speed of sound knocking her back.
Kyoka took this opportunity to run towards the bomb but Yaoyorozu quickly recovered and stepped in front and swung her metal staff at the punk girl.
Kyoka reacted by grabbing the staff with her hands, putting the two girls into a deadlock with each other.
"I won't let you near the bomb!" Yaoyorozu proclaimed.
"I admire your determination." Kyoka grunted. "But sorry to say that I'm going to win this!" The girl then used her strength to bend the metal staff.
"What?!" The raven haired girl exclaimed in confusion before being kicked away by Kyoka who ran forward and touched the bomb.
"Hero Team wins!" All Might called out.
Yaoyorozu sat up looking dejected at the ground. "I lost."
Kyoka walked over to the girl and held a hand out to help her up. "Hey don't beat yourself up over this. I'm not sure about our other classmates' quirks but I think they'd have a hard time with that barrier you made. Not to mention you were able to capture my teammate and you did it all by yourself. We're all here to learn and grow as heroes. So be proud of what you accomplished and improve for next time!" Kyoka smiled.
Yaoyorozu looked up and blushed at the praise the girl gave but smiled and grabbed her hand. "I… You're right. Thanks Jiro. I'll make sure to improve myself to the fullest."
"Call me Kyoka. We're going to be in the same class for the next 3 years so we might as well get acquainted with each other now." Kyoka said as she helped the ravenette up.
Yaoyorozu's eyes lit up in a way that reminded Kyoka of a puppy. "Oh ok, well you can call me Momo then."
"I'm glad you two are having your girly moment but could one of you get me out of this?!" Kaminari yelled, drawing the attention of the two girls to the boy who was struggling to get the capture tape off of himself.
The three returned to the control room while medical bots carried the unconcious Mineta to Recovery Girl.
"A fantastic showing students! Now would anyone here like to wager who the MVP of this round is?" All Might prodded the class.
Izuku raised his hand. "Yaoyorozu and Kyoka."
"Care to explain your reasoning, Young Midoriya?"
"Yeah, didn't Yaoyorozu lose?" Hagakure asked, causing the girl in question to look away sadly while Kyoka leveled a slight glare at the invisible girl.
"She may have lost but she did everything she could given her circumstances." Izuku explained. "She had the right idea to barricade the entrance to the bomb room and it would have worked more effectively had Kyoka not had both the ability to pinpoint the location of the bomb and break through the reinforced door. She even planned for someone getting through her barricade with the capture tape trap that caught Kaminari. Even after her preparations had been used she still committed to protecting the bomb to the best of her ability. While her teammate was busy being a sleazeball she took the exercise seriously and might have even won against different opponents."
Momo blushed at Izuku's praise while Kyoka smirked. "Kyoka also took the exercise more seriously than her partner. She was the one to identify where the bomb was located and showed an air of caution which is smart in an unknown situation. Kaminari didn't and not only ran face first into the reinforced door hurting himself and alerting the enemy," some of the class snickered, "but he also charged blindly into the room and causing himself to get captured. Kyoka kept her guard up even though Yaoyorozu had no more traps left and did what she could to secure the bomb eventually succeeding in the end." This time it was Kyoka's turn to blush as Izuku finished causing the rest of the class to gawk at him much like they did for Momo
'Those two are insane!' They thought.
Mina leaned over and whispered to Kyoka. "So does he do this often?"
Kyoka chuckled softly. "You should see him when he mutters to himself. It's cute." She answered without realizing what she said at the end.
Mina chose not to say anything but instead look towards the punk girl with a smirk. 'Cute huh~?'
"Um yes exactly right! However I do have a couple notes. Young Yaoyorozu, you were surprised that Young Jiro was able to bend your staff even though you witnessed her breaking through your metal barricades moments before. Next time be more aware of the abilities your opponents show. Young Jiro if you have information that is important to the safety of those you are working with then you need to be more assertive. In a real scenario, Young Kaminari could have been killed." All Might said sternly while the two girls nodded. "Now let's move on to the rest of the matches for today's class!"
"Man did you see how fast All Might ran?" Kaminari asked as he started to remove his hero costume in the locker rooms with the rest of the boys of 1-A who were all conversing with each other.
"Yeah bro, you think he had somewhere to be?" Kirishima asked.
"Maybe he had a hot date?" Sero offered.
"Woah man." Kaminari said to Izuku, drawing everyone's attention to the green haired boy. "Those are some crazy scars."
Katsuki looked away grumbling.
"They are pretty manly but I thought you said your quirk gave you regeneration?" Kirshima asked.
Izuku laughed. "It is but unfortunately it doesn't heal anything that was on my body before it manifested and I only got it about 10 months ago."
"What?!" Izuku's classmates yelled out.
"You've had scars like that since before getting your quirk?" Kaminari asked.
Izuku simply nodded.
"Hell man how'd you get them?" Kirishima asked.
"Kirishima you shouldn't ask personal questions of your classmates like that." Iida scolded.
"It's fine Iida." He said stopping the boy. "I don't mind. If it wasn't obvious to you already, until about 10 months ago I was completely quirkless. It seems like my quirk needed some sort of catalyst to get it to appear."
"What do you think it was?" Sero asked curiously.
Izuku looked straight at all of them. "Greed."
His classmates stared at him for a moment.
"Greed?" Sato asked.
"My quirk is all about taking things away from something else. I "steal" things like physical objects or intangible concepts. Even my regeneration is linked to that. I'm literally stealing my body back from whoever damaged it. In order for my quirk to work I needed to want to feel greed for something."
"So did you…?" Ojiro trailed off.
"No, I didn't steal anything." He finished for the boy. "All my life people told me I could never be a hero cause I didn't have a quirk. I never gave up that dream but I lost motivation for it over time. It wasn't until someone finally told me the words I needed to hear that my need and want for my dream flared. I felt the greed of wanting to be a hero and save everyone and that's when my quirk manifested."
"What were the words?" Kirishima asked.
Izuku looked up and smiled. "You can be a hero."
"Who was the person?" Sero asked.
"Someone very important to me."
"Yeah yeah, enough about Midoriya. Come check what I found!" Mineta called out, interrupting the group.
"What is it?" Kaminari asked.
"A sacred treasure left for us by our senpais." Mineta said.
Izuku raised his brow. 'Sacred treasure?'
Mineta then pulled back a poster on the wall to reveal a small peephole.
"Dude no. Isn't that the girls' locker room on the other side of the wall?" Kirishma spoke, trying to dissuade the grape headed boy.
"That is exactly why! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I won't let any of you stop me from taking it! I can't wait to see Yaoyorozu's ample chest! Ashido's slim waist! Hagakure's floating underwear! Uraraka's thick body! This is what my life has been leading up to!" The perverted boy exclaimed as he went to look through the hole but right as he brought his eye up to it all he could see was black. "Wait what the?" He pulled back only to find he still could only see darkness. "What's going on?!" The boy yelled as he felt a strong hand grip his shoulder.
"I warned you, Mineta." Izuku said menacingly, causing the boy in question to stiffen. "I'll give you one final warning. Next time I catch you doing anything like this… well you might want to start wearing a cup at all times, not that it would help you." Izuku released Mineta but left his eyesight stolen. "Now that that's taken care of. Hey Kyoka, I'm assuming you heard all of that. Mind closing up that hole?" Izuku asked the wall, confusing the other boys. A second later they watched as the wall started to shift and contort as the peephole was closed up. "Thanks." He said before whispering something under his breath unbeknownst to the others.
"What was that?" Kaminari asked.
"Oh Kyoka has really good hearing even when not plugged into something so I assumed she heard us or Mineta and listened in so I just asked her to use her quirk to close the hole." Izuku explained.
"What do we do about him?" Sero pointed over his shoulder at Mineta.
Izuku took away his hearing so he couldn't hear what they were saying. "Leave him here. I took away his sight and his hearing. I'll give it back to him once I leave." The other boys nodded and finished changing before leaving Mineta behind.
"Guys? What's going on? Midoriya? Hello?" He called out to no one not even realizing he couldn't even hear himself speak.
The girls were chatting while they were changing while Kyoka nodded along, not really paying attention.
"-zing Kyoka!"
The girl looked up not expecting to hear her name. She looked over and saw that the girls were looking at her. "Sorry, what were you saying?"
"I said that you were amazing today, Kyoka!" Hagakure exclaimed.
"O-oh well I guess I did alright, but there were a lot more amazing and better matches today than mine." Kyoka rebutted while rubbing her head and looking away embarrassingly.
"What do you mean? Your match was the best! Well aside from Izuku's." Uraraka said.
"Yeah you were able to beat Yaoyorozu who is one of the smartest in the class!" Mina exclaimed.
"Oh I'm sure the rest of our classmate's intelligence is adequate." Momo replied.
Mina gave the girl a deadpan look. "Girl you completely broke down and figured out the winners and losers of every game and what they did wrong, surprising everyone including All Might.
"She's right. I'm pretty sure you could give Izuku a run for his money and he's been analyzing heroes and quirks for as long as he can remember." Kyoka added.
"Plus you use those big words I swear I've seen used in a text book."
Momo blushed and looked away but accepted the compliment.
"But back to what I was saying. Jiro you were strong out there, stronger than a lot of our class it seems. I for one think it's great that we have a girl as one of the powerhouses of the class!" Mina continued.
"Powerhouses?" Kyoka said, confused.
"Yeah, the strongest in our class! We have Bakugo, Todoroki, Izuku, and you!"
"Me? Why am I there?" Jiro replied.
"You did tear a metal plated door off its hinges with just your bare hands. I don't think many of us can do that kero." Asui pointed it out.
"You really need to give yourself more credit. I mean seriously you did amazing out there and-"
"That is exactly why! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I won't let any of you stop me from taking it!" A voice heard only by Kyoka said. The girl looked puzzled and then walked to the wall before putting a jack into it much to the confusion of the rest of the girls.
"Uh Jiro? What are you-" Uraraka started
"Shhh! I think I hear something happening on the boy's side." She quickly told them before listening in.
"I can't wait to see Yaoyorozu's ample chest! Ashido's slim waist! Hagakure's floating underwear! Uraraka's thick body! This is what my life has been leading up to!"
Kyoka scowled and looked to see a small hole in the wall and guessed that was what Mineta was talking about. The girl was getting ready to use her jack to stab the little pervert in the eye through the hole but was stopped by another voice.
"I warned you, Mineta. I'll give you one final warning. Next time I catch you doing anything like this… well you might want to start wearing a cup at all times, not that it would help you." Kyoka heard Izuku say. "Now that that's taken care of. Hey Kyoka, I'm assuming you heard all of that. Mind closing up that hole?"
She then raised her hand to the hole and used Creation to close it up while a single thought floated in her head. 'Why didn't he say anything about me?'
"Oh please Kyoka! That little grape is stupid. Plus you don't want him to think of you in that way anyway!" Diane tried reassuring Kyoka.
The girl said nothing as she removed her hand from the now unblemished wall.
"Thanks." She heard Izuku call as she was about to walk away. "Don't give him any thought. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Plus you don't want to be leered at like that anyway." She heard him whisper clearly intending only her to hear causing a small blush to appear on the girl's face.
"See! Even Izuku thinks so. I bet he was mad when you weren't mentioned!"
"S-shut up Diane." Kyoka said softly.
"What was that Jiro?" Mina asked. 'Again? Who is this Diane?'
"O-oh it seems like someone left a peephole up between the two rooms and Mineta was about to use it before Izuku took away his eyesight and then asked me to seal up the hole." She explained trying to hide her blush.
"That's so nice of him!" Hagakure said.
"Well I do believe we should finish up changing now." Momo said.
The girls finished up and all headed back to the classroom with Kyoka being one of the last ones to leave.
'What… what part of me would Izuku say is the best?' She thought to herself thankfully without any input from Diane. Their upcoming "date" was the last thing in Kyoka's mind as she grabbed her things and left the changing room.
Hey guys Goku here. Finally I am finished with this chapter. Once again I have no excuse other than just not having an interest in writing, or at least more interest than other things I could do cough video games cough. I actually started this chapter around when I posted the previous one, it just took over a year for me to continue and finish it. So I apologize for making you all wait. On the bright side this is the longest chapter I have ever written so I hope you enjoyed it. I can't promise when I will get the next one out but I do want to try and write more often. It is a new year after all. Also for those that follow my other story A Pirate is a Hero? I was rereading it and I realized it's not good, well it's not up to the quality that I want to put in my stories right now. I don't like how I wrote the main character so I decided I am going to rewrite it, but that won't be for a bit. I don't want to take away time from writing this story especially since I still have a lot of ideas for this one and not to mention this is one of my more popular stories. Well anyway thanks for reading. The next chapter should be pretty interesting as anyone that knows the cannon of the story knows that up next is the USJ which I guarantee y'all will enjoy what I have in store, so just stay tuned for that. Dragneel Out!
