The day Izuku Midoriya is chosen as All Might's successor, he also receives a power from a rather weird woman.

17. Chapter 17

Chapter 17 -

"What did you do? What was that spear the other day?"

"A spell?"

He sat down in his desk chair, "Our spells have never needed incantations. What made that one different?"

Her smile went strained. "It was a stronger than normal spell."

"I can tell that, but why was it stronger?" She looked down at her feet, not saying anything. With a sigh, he went on, "Look, I'm just curious. You killed that thing in a single strike. I'm pretty happy I lived through that, but I'd like to know how you had so much power hidden up your sleeve."

"I can only do it once." She looked up at him.

"That's a start. Why, what is it?"

She put up a finger and held out her hands into a bowl. "I call on the storm and sea." A small ripple in the sky appeared, from it water poured out and a small cloud hovered above her hands. Small lightning strikes started falling from the cloud. "I'm a herald of Susanoo." The cloud disappeared and the water evaporated.

"Herald?"

She sat down on his bed and pulled her knees to her chest. "It was an accident. I was only four when it happened. Two years ago, I was messing around with spells trying to make new ones. I was following along with mom's idea and was using the names of gods. Mom didn't bother telling us at the time or forgot, but Japanese gods want back into the world. Anyone who uses their name in an actual spell is considered a herald by them."

"What do you do as a herald?"

"Until I'm 18? Nothing."

"What happens then?"

"I-I'm not sure. Susanoo started to explain, but was cut off by mom. She argued with him saying it was a mistake but he wasn't having it. She challenged him to a fight over my freedom."

"Wait. Kat fought a god?" Misaki started laughing.

Aki gave a small smile. "Tried. She got her butt handed to her, she was able to get a single hit in though. Susanoo rewarded her by extending my initiation date to my 18th birthday."

"That's. Kind of terrifying." She put her face into her knees and hummed. "Does he just let you use his spells freely now?"

Aki shook her head, her knees following the movement. "All spells I cast with his name take up all but 1 mana. They have a minimum, but no max. I can do small things, like the small ocean storm, without using too much."

Izuku's Mind immediately began to think of the implications of this. Are there other heralds? What do the gods want? Why just the Japanese gods, what about the Greek or Norse gods?

'Kid. Quiet. I'm trying to think too you know.'

'Sorry.'

"Why is it just the Japanese gods?"

She fell onto her back and splayed out on his bed. "No idea. Mom said it was something to do with doomsday or something."

"The world is going to end?!" He shot up to his feet. He was then hit by a bolt of lightning.

"No you idiot. The end of their worlds." She sat up and gave him a look. "Did you ever read up on Greek or Japanese mythology?"

Sitting back down, he rubbed away the mark on his forehead. "No. Why would I?"

She zapped him again. "Izuku. You pissed off the goddess of the sun. Why wouldn't you read up on it?"

"I was busy!"

Zap."No excuses." With a sigh she began to explain. "Greek Mythology itself doesn't have a true doomsday, but their own world does. A great force shall descend on Olympus. With a hunger so great even the marble shall be consumed. Standing with their children, the gods must face their end. All the Greek gods stay on Olympus to be prepared to fight this threat."

'Huh. I wonder what Ares looks like? What would Aphrodite look like for us? Doesn't she take on the form of what you want the most?'

Aki continued, oblivious to Misaki's ramblings. "The Norse gods have Ragnarok, most of them are supposed to die during it. So they're preparing their armies." She took a breath, "The Japanese gods though, their world doesn't meet an end. Their bloodline is said to be alive to this day. They use heralds as a foothold in this world, mom said they were imprisoned by some other force a long time ago. And before you ask I have no clue how she knew that."

"So what's the point of having a foothold if they're stuck where they are?"

"Mom didn't know, she had a guess that it had something to do with their spells. The more spells used with their name, the more they can push themselves into this world."

That paused his thoughts. "What do you mean? Can other people cast spells?"

She raised an eyebrow at his question, "Seriously? Did you think villains were the only bad thing in this world?"

Misaki snorted, 'She has a fair point.'

"I never really thought about it I guess. Conversation for another time though, Are there other heralds?

She shrugged, "I assume there is, mainly because Susanoo told me that I'd be defending myself from the other gods."

'That. That actually sounds like a lot of fun. Being able to fight the heralds of other gods. I'm in.'

'No.'

'What why?'

'It seems to be a contract that can never be broken unless you win a challenge against them.' She went silent. 'Also. Could you really be under the thumb of someone else?'

'Damn. You're right. Screw that.'

"How is everyone?"

He blinked his attention back to Aki, "What?"

"Your classmates and teachers? How are they?"

"One question first?"

"Yeah?"

"How do you know about all this god stuff?"

She smiled, "We ended up meeting a goddess during our dimension hopping. Her name was Methe, mom and her got into a drinking competition that ended in a draw. She was really fun though, she told us all about the Greek gods and then introduced us to Unn. They apparently became drinking buddies after they were left on earth."

"Unn?"

"She's a daughter of Aegir." At his confused stare, she explained. "He's a god of water in Norse mythology and he also holds a lot of the parties for them."

He supposed, since they were actually real and not just a weird woman with a lot of power, he should read up on them.

"So how are they?"

"Mr. Aizawa and Ms. Thirteen are in near perfect health, thanks to you. They are currently in forced bed rest. As for the other students, the only physical injury was Sero. He isn't being allowed back to UA by his parents."

"That really stinks."

"Other than that though, all the trauma is mental. From what I could tell, several of the students killed people directly or indirectly. The two affected the most by it were Jiro and Momo. Jiro hasn't talked to anyone since USJ and Momo has been holed up in her house refusing to answer anyone."

"That's not too bad then. It could be much worse. Are the two who I sent to get help okay?"

He nodded, "Kendo's hands are completely recovered after I visited her, and Ojiro is fine. Last I saw them, they were sparring on hospital grounds. They seemed rather annoyed they were beaten so easily. What about you?"

She fell back and groaned, "Grounded until high school. He wasn't very happy about what happened, even if I didn't come close to death." She sat back up, "What happened with the police?"

—

After USJ

—

A man with no discernible features walked into the police interrogation room. Izuku was sitting alone and playing mental I,spy with Kat. It took a lot of effort for neither to cheat at it, but it was better than sitting around bored.

[Name: Tsukauchi Naomasa

Title: The Keeper of Secrets

Age: 36

Level: 29

Quirk: Truth (Rank: D)]

His physical stats weren't all that impressive, compared to a student or pro. His Int, Wis, and Cha were way higher than his own though.

"Mr. Midoriya?"

He nodded, "That's correct."

The detective offered his hand, "Pleased to meet you. You may call me Tsukauchi." He sat down in the chair on the opposite side of the table. Opening a folder, he began. "Now. I have a few questions for you, please answer truthfully."

He nodded, "Yes sir."

"What is your name?"

"Midoriya Izuku."

'Badass Kat.' He smiled. 'Or should it be an actual name?'

"What is your birthday?"

"July 15th."

'Midoriya Kat?'

"Age?"

"Fifteen."

'Four months magic side and almost a year earth side. That feels kind of rude to Shino though.'

"Thank you." He flipped the page and opened his notepad. "Now. How did the attack start?"

"It was fairly close to the start. We had just started walking down the main staircase and my ability to message certain people had gone offline. I warned the teachers and other students. As we made our evacuation, the villains appeared. Mr. Aizawa jumped down to meet them head on as we made our way out. When we rounded the top of the stairs, Thirteen was attacked by some unknown force. Portals began to open around us and I jumped. While I was in the air, the others were pushed into a portals."

'What if we combined the names? Something like Midoriya Misaki?'

'Kat. Really?'

Once he finished writing a few things down, he asked his next question. "You were the first to fight the Nomu, correct?"

"Yes sir. Tenko set the Nomu on me with the order to kill."

'Yes really. I like it. Refer to me as Misaki.'

"How do you know the leader's name?"

"Part of my quirk is the ability to read the information on people. This includes their name, age, Quirks, and a point based power system."

'I'm not calling you Misaki, it makes it sound like you're our child.'

He hummed as he wrote something down, "That sounds rather useful. I assume you used it on me?" Izuku nodded, causing him to smile. "Do you know the name, Watanabe Gorou?"

'Zombie? Also I technically am!'

"His quirk is Zombie?" Tsukauchi nodded. Izuku sighed, "He was fighting Bakugo Katsuki. He didn't let up at all and I was still fighting Nomu at the time. I'm sorry for what I did, but he put himself into the situation and forced my hand."

'How are you our child?'

He nodded again. "He wants to press charges, and is suing UA. His case will probably be laughed at, then thrown out. I just thought you should know. Every villain there was there to kill kids. Any jury or judge will not be happy with them." He finished writing a couple of things and asked another question. "What happened when the ceiling collapsed?"

"I was dropped by the Nomu, who went to protect Tenko, and went on the offensive against the villains holding my classmates captive."

'Because, you got the perk from her, so without her I wouldn't be here and you're you, so it fits.'

"I was told you ripped the arms off of one and threw another on top of another to protect them."

He nodded, "Koda. I didn't have any other reliable way to save him, Uraraka, Mr. Aizawa and myself at the moment. So I did what I had to. As for the arms, I had less than a second before the glass hit us."

'Kat, please?'

He flipped to the next page. "And the Nomus?"

"I killed one with my Solar Flare and the other with a lightning spell. All Might dealt with the last one. Myself along with Todoroki, and Togata fought against it, but were unable to deal with it ourselves."

'Kat?'

"Why did you resort to killing during the attack, could you not have subdued your attackers?" He could tell it was a legitimate question, not an accusation.

"I subdued when I could, but the Nomus left us no choice. As for the other villains, I did not mean for it to happen. All I knew was that there was a villain sitting on top of the USJ and I assumed it was the person blocking our signal. I threw Bakugo toward the roof where he fought against a flying villain. After a brief skirmish, he followed through with my command and brought the roof down. I didn't think about what would happen afterward, I just knew we needed help."

'Kat!'

He asked a question while the detective finished taking notes. "Have you spoken to any of the other students?"

"Not yet. Most are still recovering mentally and we don't want to push them. Why do you ask?"

"If any are in grief, please tell them I take responsibility as their class president. While no one should take fault for what happened, I don't want them to believe they are monsters for what they did. They fought for their survival and their friends, not for anything else."

'Kat, I swear!'

He gave a nod. "I can do that. Now last question. How did you get the two students to UA?"

He sighed, 'Misaki?'

'Hello! Also, damn. They seriously don't remember her.' Aki had messaged them about using some type of invisible rune on her forehead to make everyone forget her. She told him to take credit for everything she did.

"Portals. I can open and close them, but the time between them and how long they stay open is short. That's why only Togata was able to make it through."

He nodded and wrote something down. "Thank you for telling the truth. Someone will be by in a minute or so to drop you off at home." He stood and walked out of the room.

—

1 week since USJ

—

The two of them had decided to walk the whole way to school. They left rather early and were currently walking the final bit.

'Do you think Kamui can talk to trees?'

He hummed, 'Talk to? Probably not. He might be able to sense their needs though.'

'What do you think a tree would sound like if it could talk?'

'Probably like an old man. It'd probably be really slow speaking and have some type of speech problem.'

'Do you think Lady and Kamui are together?'

'The forums say yes, but I doubt it. They don't seem to mesh like that very well.'

'What about you? Do you like anyone?'

He raised an eyebrow, 'Shouldn't you know that already?'

'It's more fun if you actually say it out loud.'

"Midoriya!" He turned to see Kendo and Uraraka running up the hill. He forced himself to fight back his natural instinct to not dodge their tackle.

[Resistance Check Pass!]

He stood there waiting for them to let go. 'Huh. Maybe we should get into more life threatening situations.'

'No. That was bad enough, I couldn't imagine something worse.'

They let go after a minute and Kendo spoke up. "How are you doing?"

With them trailing behind him, he answered, "Honestly? Bored." He had spent the last week learning a few new skills and improving ones he already had.

"Did you hear what happened?" Uraraka had run a bit to stand beside him.

'Misaki?'

'No clue.'

"No. I don't really watch TV anymore and I tried to avoid forums where people talked about it."

"There's a manhunt going on right now. All alumni of UA are up in arms and are hunting for The League of Villains."

He whistled, "That's kind of terrifying. Did they say what happened during the attack?"

Kendo answered, "The news stations are saying we defended ourselves as best we could and are pinning any deaths on the roof collapsing."

"Not far from the truth."

He saw Uraraka look back at Kendo and give her a worried face. 'Ideas?'

'Girl's are as much a mystery to me as they are to you kid.'

"Midoriya?" Uraraka's voice was quiet.

"Yeah?"

"Do you-Are you okay with what you did?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well. Momo and Jiro still won't answer any texts or calls. We were wondering if you were okay. From what we heard the guys are taking it in stride but are a little more harsh than normal."

"I'm actually perfectly fine with what happened. All of our classmates lived through the attack and only one is unable to return. All in all, I count that as a success."

"So you don't care that you killed?"

He glanced at her, she had worry written on her face and a hint of something he didn't recognize. 'Fear?' Her suggestion seemed off but not wrong.

He explained with a sigh, "Don't get me wrong. I feel bad in that I was forced to kill, but I did what I had to do to make sure everyone survived. If I got a do over, I'd try to keep the outcome but change the method. I'm not a monster, I just don't feel bad for people who want to kill kids."

Both stayed quiet until Kendo broke it with punching him in the shoulder. "I agree with what you said besides one thing. I. Am. Not. A. Kid." She flicked him with an enlarged finger at each syllable until she got to her thumb and just smacked him in the back of the head.

He fell forward and was forced into a roll, uphill. So he ended up just falling. He laid there face in the ground and sighed. 'I guess that's the wrong word to use.' Misaki started laughing. He then felt weightless and was picked by the shirt.

"You know, I'm kind of embarrassed for you."

He looked at Kendo, "Why?"

"Uraraka says you were stark naked after your little light show." He looked over at the girl who had gone red across her face and to the tips of her ears.

He sighed and shrugged, "I burned off my clothes, not much I can do about that."

"All the teachers saw you too. I think Midnight might give you a few funny looks, so be careful."

He thought about and couldn't help but agree. 'Operation Rabbit's Foot?'

He held back a snort, 'Is that what you're calling it?'

'I get to call my spell combos whatever I want.' She blew a raspberry at him.

A couple of days ago, they had discovered Misaki could cast and hold onto a spell without it going off. The timer went on cool-down during this, allowing her to cast another, but no more than that. So they had decided the best use of this was to have [Hermes' Blessing] and [Sylph's Blessing] on standby.

"I'll be sure to run." He smirked.

—

A short while later they found themselves at the entrance to their classroom about a half hour early compared to normal. They expected to be the first ones in class, but most of the classmates were present and chatting quietly. Even the normally non-studious students were present. The only ones missing were Momo, Jiro, Bakugo, Todoroki, and Ashido. When they saw him, everyone slowly went quiet.

'The hell is going on?'

He could feel her shrug, 'Beats me.'

Iida stood up and approached him, he spoke in a hushed whisper. "They wish to ask something of you."

He raised an eyebrow, but didn't get further explanation. The girls walked past him and sat down. Kendo looked back at him and smirked. 'She knew!'

'Thanks Misaki, couldn't tell.' He received a mental kick and an oncoming headache. 'Why!'

'You're mean.'

He walked to the front of the room, his headache growing. "I'm told you all wish to ask me something?"

No one said, but a few raised their hands. "Uh. Ojiro?" He was the closest person to him.

"I'd like to request sparring practice with you. I believe I also speak for Kendo?" He looked back at her and received a nod.

"What? Why?" He wasn't going to say no, but was confused on why.

Kirishima spoke up, "Dude, most of us either fought a bunch of unprepared small fries or people who we had no chance in defeating. You, Bakugo, and Todoroki are the only ones to go toe to toe with the villains and win."

He murmured to himself, "I see." Letting out a sigh, he spoke to them. "Who else just want spar training?" Ojiro, Kendo, Iida, Sato, And Shoji raise their hands. 'Misaki?'

She made a popping sound, 'Got it.'

"Asui? What do you want then?"

"Tsuyu, not Asui. I want to get stronger. I don't think sparring will help though."

He nodded, "You might be right." As he thought the door opened to reveal an exhausted looking Jiro and downcast Ashido. 'She doesn't look great.'

'Neither of them do.'

'I'll try to help both, but let's focus on this first. Any idea how to deal with it quickly?'

'Questionnaire?' That might work.

"I'm willing to help when I can. If you fill out a piece of paper and write out what you want to improve, I'll think of something. I'm sure I can also get a teacher or two to help if I explain the situation."

He received a couple of nods, but mostly everyone took out a piece of paper and started filling stuff out. It was after the 10 minute warning bell that Iida stood and started collecting papers for him.

'I like him!'

'He's not a slave Misaki.'

'You sure?'

'Yes I'm sure.' He took the papers, "Thanks Iida." He received a nod and spoke to the class, "I'll look over them and hopefully come up with a plan for each of you by tomorrow."

He walked to his seat and took out his hole punch. After each paper had two holes in it, if it didn't already, he grabbed two rings and put them together. "[Observe]."

[Class 1-A Training Wishes

This poorly crafted book contains most of the wants and needs, training-wise, of Class 1-A.

Do you wish to add this book to your library?]

She selected Yes for him and the book dissolved into colorful motes of light. He got several curious glances, but most of his classmates had seen the trick before.

'Anything interesting?'

Misaki hummed. He could hear the sound of pages turning. 'Shoji wants to learn how to deal with flying enemies. Birdman wants to gain more control over Dark Shadow and to be able to fight in melee.'

He closed his eyes and focused on her, 'Shoji's will be easy, but how would we help Tokoyami?'

'Hale!'

'Aki?'

'No you idiot, her dad, Hitoshi. He has Worg.'

'But he can't control it.'

'No but he can aim and fire. Teach that to the kid and he can work on control later.' Their talk was interrupted by the class start melody.

The door swung open to reveal a Mr. Aizawa, who didn't look too off kilter, but was definitely mad. When he walked to the front of the room, he bowed to them. Several the student got really confused looks on their face.

"As this is the first time I've spoken to you all as one, I'd like to say something. I'm sorry. I'm sorry some of you had to make a sacrifice that will live with you for the rest of your life. I'm sorry I couldn't protect everyone."

'Misaki.'

'Yeah.' She paused for a second. 'Go for it.' He had prepared something in case this happened.

With [Charismatic Aura] activated he stood and spoke loud enough for everyone to hear him. "I personally don't accept your apology." Mr. Aizawa stood straight and gave him a mix between a glare and confusion. "I personally think a proper apology would be to push us harder. We are heroes in training, not civilians. While your apology might be good for TV and PR, it's not good enough for the students you are training. I think I stand for most of us when I say you're apology should be to prepare us for the future. Especially if this type of thing is going to happen again."

Kirishima stood, "I agree. I didn't and will never blame you for what happened at USJ. If it wasn't for the mist villain, we would have made it out while you fought off a small army. You did everything you could."

Iida and Kendo stood next. Iida spoke first, "While I would have put it more delicately than our class president, I can't help but agree. You defended us this time, but it is our turn to prove ourselves heroes, even if we are students."

Kendo went next, "I don't expect you to be a babysitter, you are a teacher. You're supposed to teach us to defend ourselves and civilians, not hide behind you."

Most of the students started to shout their agreement and he could see Mr. Aizawa's eyes widen slightly. '30 seconds left.'

"So Mr. Aizawa." The others went quiet, and his teacher looked at him. "Will you teach us to defend ourselves?"

'You're screwed.' He could only smirk as he saw his teacher's grin. 'Times out.'

"Midoriya! Since you so kindly volunteered yourself, you'll be leading this extra curricular activity. I expect each of them to last at least 1 minute against you. Your deadline is the sports festival."

His smile fell slightly. 'Yeah. We're not gonna have a lot of free time.' He gave a nod and sat.

Misaki giggled, 'A minute? You have some work ahead of you.' She went quiet for a second, only for a second. 'Wait.' He could feel her excitement build, 'This means we get to spend one on one time with the girls!'

He gave a mental groan, 'Perv.'

She copied his groan, 'Stale.'

"In four weeks time, we will be holding the annual UA sports festival. This is an opportunity for each of you to show what you're made of and to gain recognition in the hero world. Depending on how well you do, offers might come in from pro agencies. I'm sure each of you will impress me."

The rest of class was their teacher answering questions. Not being able to talk, he chatted with Misaki over the training schedule he was making.

Before the bell rang Aizawa called on him. "Midoriya. Follow me."

He got up and followed. They walked down the hall and into a small teacher's office. The bell rang as they entered, the teachers that were present walked out leaving them alone.

"Thank you, and I'm sorry."

He raised a hand and made letters out of his fire. What for?

"For helping get them over this bump in the road. I'm also meant to inform you that you will not be participating in the sports festival."

'Lame.' He nodded both in agreement with her and his understanding. I figured. I could probably win every event easily.

"That was the faculty's concern. You do have an offer though, it begins after the sports festival."

'Sleepy say wha?' He raised an eyebrow, Really who?

"Sir Nighteye." His eyes widened and Aizawa nodded, "I assume you are familiar with the name?"

He nodded, He was All Might's sidekick.

He nodded, "He is also the mentor for the older student who helped you at USJ. I believe it was Togata who gave your name to him."

Misaki whistled, 'You think he's going to be nude too?'

I'll be sure to thank him. I have a couple of questions about the training.

"Like?"

Can I use UA facilities for it?

"I'll arrange something by tomorrow. If it's approved it will be for everyday after school."

He nodded, That would be a lot of help.

"Do you have some symbolism of an idea?"

For most, there's a couple that will be tricky.

"If you need help, I'm willing to offer assistance."

Thank you sir.

"Last thing I wanted to talk about is the missing seat."

How is Sero?

"He's angry and depressed. He's been pulled out by his parents, but UA's support teachers are building him a bionic arm as a small token of apology."

Can I help with it?

He shrugged, "You'd have to ask Power Loader, he's in charge of the project. He's normal free after school."

I'll talk to him then.

"Now about the seat, we'll be getting a new student. Normally we would draw from the general studies program, but it's too early in the year to see if any have potential. So we will be accepting a student from abroad who didn't make it initially."

What's their name? What country?

"I'll provide you a folder with basic information by the end of the week. I expect you to remember their name and assist them whenever needed, understood?"

He nodded, Yes sir.

"Get back to class."

Yes sir. He walked out of the room and made his way back to class. 'Misaki, send a message to Aki asking for her help with training, ask her to ask her dad for his help also. Tell him that there's a student with an entity similar to Worg.'

'Kk.' He pulled out his phone.

I: Hey, I got a request if you're not too busy?

He received his reply a minute later.

M: Shoot.

I: I've been volunteered by Mr. Aizawa to train my classmates. I have until the Sports Festival to make them last at least a minute against me. Was wondering if you guys wanted to help.

She sent a thinking emoji.

M: I'd be fine with it, but we still have our hero duties.

I: I can ask Hale if she can open a portal for you.

Before he got her reply, Aki messaged him back.

A: I'll ask dad, I'm sure it would be a first for him. If he's going, I'm pretty sure he'd be fine with me helping too.

I: Thank you! Request?

A: Yeah?

I: Would you mind opening a portal for the Pussycats so they can help?

A: Sure.

I: Thank you.

A: You owe me though.

I: Like what?

A: I'm thinking a magic spar and food.

I: Fine.

A: Sweet! I'll message you when I talk to dad.

He turned back to his phone.

M: If she says yes, then we can help for 2 hours everyday. That's the best we can do since our travel time is non-existent.

I: She said yes. Send me the coordinates of where you want the portal tomorrow. Thank you so much Mandalay. I really appreciate it!

She sent a puke emoji.

M: Too sweet.

Misaki snorted.

I: Ha ha. I'll see you tomorrow.

M: Kk. I'll have the costume ready for you!

I: Please no.

I: Mandalay?

I: Fine.

Misaki started to laugh, 'This is going to be a lot more fun now.'

He sighed putting away his phone as he made it back to class. 'I really hope the girls didn't modify it more than what it already was.' He got a few curious glances as he sat down, but no one said anything.

'Like what? You were already butt naked in front of several of the students. What could be more embarrassing than that?' He conceded that point to her.

—

The next day after school

—

"Tokoyami, this is Mr. Hale. He's going to help you try and control dark shadow."

The older man bowed, "It's nice to meet you. I'm told you have a monster in you." He looked up with a smile. "Worg?"

A grey fog erupted from his body and took the form of a large wolf. Worg growled at the kid in front of him. "Show yourself you runt!"

Dark Shadow appeared, but cowered behind his keeper. It gave a low whine, "Tokoyami? Do we have to fight the scary wolf?"

His classmate sighed, "Dark Shadow you need to get a hold of yourself. We are going to train for a while."

A portal opened and Aki walked out, "The arena is ready dad!"

He smiled and rubbed her head, "Thanks sweetie." He turned to Tokoyami, "Come on kid, your training starts now." After a nod, both walked through the portal and it closed behind them.

"Will they be okay?"

Aki hummed, "The bird guy gets stronger in the dark right?"

Izuku nodded, "That's what he said."

"Then I have no idea!" She ended the sentence with a smile.

'I wanted to see them fight.' Misaki let out a whine.

"Maybe next time Misaki. We have the other students to worry about though."

"He's right Misaki." She slapped his hand and he felt his mind clear. She tapped him again and the AI filled part of his mind again.

'YES!'

"What did you promise her?"

Aki smiled, "Nothing."

'Misaki?'

'Don't worry about it, go help your classmates.'

He let out a sigh, "Aki? You have the coordinates right?"

She snapped her fingers, "Yup."

A few seconds went by, [Resistance Check Failed!] "Lion!" Pixie had tackled him in a hug and took him off his feet.

"Hey Pixie." He hugged her back and she dropped him. RagDoll was next and Tiger slapped him on his back. He felt someone pull him into a hug. He used Transference.

'Transfer successful.'

'Hey Mandalay.' He felt a surge of yellow come from her.

She pulled him deeper into a hug, 'I'm sorry we couldn't be there for you.'

He hugged her back, 'Don't worry about it, I made it out alive.'

Green was mixed into the yellow, 'Do you know how worried I was? How can you tell me not to worry?'

'I'm saying don't beat yourself up over it. There was nothing you could do.'

Blue was added, 'I guess you're right.' She pushed him away and all the colors were replaced with orange, 'Let's do this!'

He looked at the others, and saw amusement in the eyes of RagDoll and Pixie. Aki was walking into the arena and Tiger was following her. 'I guess it's time to start.'

"What's the plan teach?" Pixie nudged him.

'I actually think I figured out a plan for each of the students. Only two are missing, they're the ones that willingly killed someone.' He was immediately assaulted by red on three fronts. He tried to placate them, 'I'm going to talk to them, I swear. I just didn't have time yesterday.'

Pixie sighed and leaned on him, "Sorry Lion. You have no idea how much we want to join the manhunt."

'Why don't you?' He walked to the door and opened it.

'We are banned from helping in the operation as our specialty is rescue.'

"Which I disagree with, after sparring with you a ton, I think I could take a top ten." She shadow boxed the air as she walked in.

'Pixie, I can win against you now.'

She batted a hand at him, "You don't count."

He raised an eyebrow, 'Why is that?'

"Because you cheat."

He sighed as he spoke to his classmates. They were standing in a large group, 'Everyone. These people are going to help me train you all. The young girl is a friend of mine, her name is Hale. The other four, I'm sure would be more than happy to introduce themselves.'

Mandalay had a smile when she looked at him. 'Actually we're not ready. We're missing a member.'

Shit. 'Fine, give me a second.'

He walked to the changing room with the bag RagDoll handed him.

It was only a few minutes until Midoriya came back surrounded in a mist. "Really Aki? You're helping?"

The young girl smiled, "I was asked by a nice lady to keep your appearance a surprise. How could I say no?" Several of her classmates started to snicker.

After a few seconds the mist dispersed, revealing a very familiar muscular body adorned in a very fitting outfit. Uraraka couldn't help the laugh that escaped her, 'He looks so unhappy!'

Midoriya was dressed in a green version of the hero team's outfit. His face was giving the most deadpan stare she had ever seen.

The red dressed lady started by posing, "Lock on with these sparkling gazes!"

Next was the yellow lady, "We've come to lend a paw and help!"

Then Midoriya, "Always ready to save you!"

Next was the big guy, "Coming out of nowhere…"

Then the blonde haired lady, "Stingingly cute and catlike!"

They all posed as one, with Midoriya kneeling in the front. "Wild, Wild, Pussycats!"

Several of the students began to laugh at Midoriya's face, but most started to clap and cheer.

Midoriya let out a sigh and stood, 'All right everyone. Time to get started. Please take the folder with your name on it.' He pointed to a small table against the wall, and then pointed to each of the people in turn. 'This is Tiger. This is Pixie, this is RagDoll, and this is Mandalay. A name will be printed on your page of who you will be working with and a lesson plan will also be there. If you need help please feel free to ask any of us.'

Walking to the table and picking up her folder. She opened it and was slightly disappointed that she didn't get Midoriya, but he didn't exactly fight in a style she could replicate. Her trainer for the next four weeks was the lady in red, Mandalay.

The training schedule seemed insane, but she knew it would help her. Learning hand to hand combat, along with boosting speed and agility. 'I wonder what the lady can do?' Walking over, she bowed. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Mandalay. My name is Uraraka."

A voice spoke in her head, 'Nice to meet you Uraraka. May I see your folder?'

'Cool! She's a telepath!' She handed over the folder, "Here you go!"

She got a grin in response, 'Excited?'

She nodded, "I'm excited to be taught by a hero, especially if they're recommended by our class prez."

'He was a pretty great student. Do you like him?'

Her cheeks went flush, "N-No!"

Mandalay giggled, 'I can read emotions you know. That's not a topic you can hide from me, you're practically radiating pink right now.'

She could feel herself starting to float as Ashido joined them. Before she could get to far, she was pulled back down to the ground. 'Hey now, I'm just teasing.' She got pulled closer and the voice turned to a whisper. 'If you do well each day, I'll send you a mental image of Midoriya each day.' Her chaotic thoughts went still and focused on the thought. 'That caught your attention. I'll give you a sneak peak.' After a second, a picture appeared in her mind of Izuku lounging at a lake. His body was blurred out.

She saluted the woman, "I will do anything you say ma'am."

—

Tiger grinned at his three students, "I hear you three are in need of combat training. Do any of you have a fighting style?"

The only one to raise a hand was the buff one, Sato. "Kind of, I never learned a fighting style but I never bothered either."

"Then what do you mean 'kind of'?"

"I can punch stuff."

He swear a nerve popped in his head. 'This is going to take some effort.' He looked at the other two, Kaminari and Koda. "I'm assuming neither of you know any martial arts?" They shook their heads. He mumbled to himself, "You owe me Lion."

—

She had to admit, this was going to be a lot more fun than camp. Her two students were the invisible girl and frog girl.

"Ms. RagDoll, can you see me?"

She looked at the girl and shook her head. "No but I can sense where you are rather easily. Midoriya says I'm supposed to teach both of you situational awareness?" The cute little froggie nodded. She raised her arms, "This will be easy then. I'm a master at noticing things."

—

Her job was to teach the masked one, belly button and Legs. Both Mask and Legs wanted to get better at fighting flying targets, but belly button was the harder one. She needed to teach him creative thinking.

"Legs, Mask, get ready for a fight." She waited until both stood at the ready and cast. '[Dual Cast - Fairy Army]!'

"Your mission for today is to defeat 100 of the lights, they will be floating around the arena. Everyday you will need to defeat 50 more until the end of the week." She smirked at their shocked faces, "Next week, we take it up a notch." She snapped her fingers and the lights flew off at top speed. Next, she summoned dozens of platforms made of mana for them to use. They floated at different heights and hovered up and down. "Get going." They took off toward the nearest platform.

"And what is my mission young mademoiselle?"

She answered him in French, "Did you not read your folder?"

"Ah! You speak my language!" He spun in a circle, "That is amazing news! But alas, I don't understand what class prez's notes mean."

She sighed, "You're going to do creative thinking. We'll start with scenarios." She snapped her fingers and a table with chairs appeared. They were made out of pure mana, and could be sustained with a steady stream of the stuff. "Take a seat."

The guy sat down with a smile on his face, "Gladly!"

She started immediately, "You encounter a villain while in deep cover. You know he has a pension for causing massive amounts of destruction. He's about to rob a bank. What do you do?"

He thought for a second and answered with a smile. "I call for help and engage."

"Your call goes through, but once you engage, he flies into a rage and kills a nearby bystander. You now have a death on your hands. Try again."

She saw his smile falter.

—

"Yay! I get the two powerhouses!"

"Lady! Didn't you get your ass handed to you during the entrance exam?"

She shifted her foot and formed a cave below the loud one. It's roof was weak and would break if he stomped his foot. She smiled at him, "Didn't you get your ass handed to you by a zombie that Lion defeated easily?"

He growled at her and small explosions started to form at his hands. "Fi-!" His challenge was cut off as he fell through the ground.

"I win!" She peered over the hole and couldn't see him buried under the rubble.

The other spoke, "Midoriya says you are supposed to teach us control?"

She nodded, "He says you two use massive attacks to try and end the fight instantly. His idea is for both of you to gain more precise control and the ability to limit your abilities. While that would normally be a negative, it would actually help both of you."

The hole exploded in a boom and the stick of dynamite flew out ready for a fight. She flicked her fingers up and small poles of earth shot out at him. While he was distracting and blinding himself, she created a thin wall behind him and dropped it. It's only purpose was to make him turn and blast it away.

As he fell into her trap, she created a stalagmite and sent it for his back. He noticed too late and prepared to take the attack, but she flattened the tip and just lifted him. "Todoroki isn't it?"

The kid nodded, "That's correct."

"I want you to make a bike."

He raised an eyebrow at her, "A bike?"

She smiled, "Easier said than done. You'll need precise control to make each chain link and the brake system. You'll get extra marks if you make a gear shift."

He nodded, "Can I start?"

"One second." She flattened the ground back out and Bakugo was on the floor at his feet. His anger was clearly written on his face. She looked down at him. "Besides control, you need to learn how to maximize your sweat control. While the gauntlets are helpful, they require a massive amount of sweat to work. Wouldn't it be neat if you could do that same effect with a smaller amount?" She gave a savage smile.

He stood up slowly and looked at her, "Teach me."

She grinned, "Let us begin."

—

"The three of you are going to be learning my own fighting style and be going through agility training." Izuku looked at his classmates, all three nodded in determination.

"Hey prez?" Kirishima raised his hand.

"Yeah?"

"Why am I getting agility training?"

"Kirishima, catch. [Portals of Hell]." Unprepared for the sudden attack, he hardened himself and stood still. The portals blazed and burned his hardened flesh. He ended the spell before they did too much damage. Reaching out, he healed his injuries and helped him on his feet. "You won't always be able to take any hit. Not all quirks are physical attacks. The best examples of this are myself, Todoroki and Ashido. If either of us is dodging your attacks, we can take you down rather rapidly because you don't dodge."

Kirishima grinned, "Pretty harsh example, but I get you man. I'm game, let's start!" Kendo and Ojiro nodded alongside him.

The next day

—

"Midoriya, we found your new classmate." Aizawa had called him and asked him to show up early.

"Sir. How did you find a student so quickly?"

His teacher sighed, "She's a student from Korea. She wasn't already in a school, because she fell asleep through multiple entrance exams, including our own. She took our recommendation course yesterday and passed. Please come in!"

A person floated into the office. "[Observe]."

—

Chapter done!

Let the training begin!
