Friendly Foreign Dimensional Exchange Student Spider-Man!: Academia
Dragon Woman and Plump Giant
It's nighttime in the Kansai region, and a violent dispute has currently broken out between two male giants. One has no eyes, while the other looks monster-like. Their fighting is causing destruction. Civilians are running away, with a few taking the risk of filming or taking pictures of the battle.
A police officer is screaming into his radio. "I repeat! Two people with gigantification Quirks are fighting each other at my current position! Send heroes here immediately!"
He suddenly hears something flying by and looks up.
"Full charge output level thirty, Nejire Wave!"
Nejire's glowing spiral attack blasts the two fighters slamming them into the ground.
"Hey, why are you fighting? Is it because your Quirks are the same? That's so weird."
Hearing two running footsteps, she slowly lands on the road and looks behind to see Rocketti and Real Steel, both in costume and sprinting toward her.
"Alright, it's your turn!" She commands them.
"Coming!" They both shout as they begin to activate their Quirks.
Pony launches her horns and controls them. She jumps, lands perfectly on top of her horns, and begins to fly upwards while Tetsutetsu has his whole body turned into metal.
Another glowing spiral appears close to her hands. "Full charge output level fifteen..."
"Ready…!" Right after she shouts, Real Steel stops and immediately bends down. "Jump!"
He bounces himself as high as possible and then gets pushed upwards, thanks to another and weaker Nejire Wave. Tetsutetsu's soaring eventually stops, his extra weight bringing him back down, and Pony drops off from her horns, starting to flip counter-clockwise. Both fall directly toward the two downed giants who see them but are not fast enough to block their attacks.
With hands held together for Tetsutetsu and a double kick from Pony's hooves, they land their heavy hits directly on their faces. The two 1-B students jump off the motionless giants while Tetsutetsu subsides his Quirk powers to have the skin back to looking normal.
Nejire walks towards them. "Wow, that was awesome! Especially for your first day! You two were great, didn't look nervous at all."
Real Steel responds. "HEY, YOU NEED TO PUSH FORWARD NO MATTER WHAT THE OBSTACLE!"
The three hear and look to see a well-costumed female Pro Hero speaking to the two cops who were first at the scene.
"Understood, we'll stay until more police arrive."
Ryukyu leaves them and heads to the young heroes in training.
"Guess your recommendations are quite good, Nejire. You're both great at this, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Seeing their superior in person for the first time, both teenagers greet her first by bowing.
"We'll do our very best, Ryukyu." Pony responds.
Tetsutetsu hits his knuckles on each other. "YOU WON'T REGRET HAVING US IN YOUR RANKS!"
Ryukyu enjoys seeing the behavior of her new juniors, especially Real Steel. "You welcome, I honestly wasn't expecting you to choose my agency compared to the other "manly" Pro Heroes around."
"WELL, I did wanna find someone who's known for their strength. Vlad King said mostthird years are work studying so I thought I'D ASK THEM ABOUT IT!" Tetsutetsu explained, looking at the periwinkle girl in the end.
"And luckily he asked me first, those two did quite the performance back at their first practical summer exams." Nejire added in.
Their conversation is interrupted when they hear arguing from the two cops now closer to the downed giants.
"Are you kidding?! They're too big for us to apprehend them!"
Ryukyu is the first to ask for answers. "Is something wrong, gentleman?"
The policeman that's using his phone responds. "We were checking if they have any criminal records. It seems these two are villains who work for rival drug gangs in this area."
"Really? Maybe that explains why they were at each other's necks." Nejire ponders aloud.
"Damn it, I told you not to fight him!"
"Who said that?" Pony asks.
They notice from afar a messy gray-haired man with jagged teeth looking toward their location. He is clearly in panic and horrified, suddenly making a run for it and disappearing into an alley.
"Uh… what's that about?" A perplexed Nejire wonders.
Tetsutetsu blinks, realizing something. "WAIT, IS THAT GUY CONNECTED TO ONE OF THESE GIANTS?!"
"Sounds like it…" Responds Ryukyu, now sincere. "You two will come with me to find him, Nejire Chan, you stay here keeping an eye on these men, just in case they awaken."
The three students shout in response, understanding their new instructions. Rocketti and Real Steel follow Ryukyu as they dash toward the alleyway. Nejire Chan is now alone with the two cops while the sounds of police sirens come closer to their location.

The street market is slightly crowded, with people either shopping before the stores close or looking for a place to have dinner. Four heroes are currently patrolling this area.
"Yeah, punks and hoodlums here keep gettin' into so many fights these days. Can't eat enough to keep up." Explains the large and tall Fat Gum eating a large tray of Takoyaki.
"I admit, I originally wanted to have fightin' types for my agency. But after knowin' what you can do with your Quirk. I'm sure you'll have no problems fittin' in, Creati."
"I look forward to your guidance, mister Fat Gum. And I appreciate your honesty." She responds.
Red Riot grins. "I promise we'll do our best, sir."
After taking another bite from an octopus ball, the BMI Hero looks at both of them. "Well then, maybe tonight you'll both show me what you've got. Since it is my first time hirin' first-year students with Provisional Licenses."
Then the three hear the sounds of depressed groaning, looking behind to see it's coming from Suneater.
"Hey, what's up?" Fat Gum asks him.
"I got mine in my second year, including second attempt… to think that all first years managed to get it in just a few months and only the first try…" He tilts his head downwards. "I feel… so inferior…"
Both first-year students look with confused worry at Tamaki's gloomy demeanor. Eijiro tries to console him. "Hey, don't feel so down. Not everyone is successful the first time, buddy."
"And actually, not everyone in our year has their licenses." Momo chimes in.
Fat Gum finishes his munching. "That's just how Suneater is. He's as talented as a pro, still needs to work on his mental weakness, though. Speakin' of, we're gonna eventually work on your nerves Tamaki, and soon you'll be greater than ever."
But for Suneater, that made him feel like his heart was struck. "That pressure only leads me deeper into despair. It's always like this, this man scouted me in order to put me into torment… I can't take it… I want to go home…"
"Maybe he's trying to encourage you, that's what mentors are supposed to do, right?" Eijiro continues, trying to make a hint of positivity into the senior student.
"It's a fight! Somebody, help!"
Taishiro is the first to react. "Ah, speak of the devil."
He sees a thug attacking another group of thugs, the men push the person away, and they begin to run for it.
"Get back here! Don't think you can get away sellin' on my turf!"
"Damn it! Stop followin' us! Just when I thought I'd start pitchin' in and helpin', too!" The group's leader looks in front to see Fat Gum.
"Shit! This way!" The ponytail man directs his underlings to an alleyway.
"After them!" Fat Gum instructs the three hero students, which they do, taking the same direction the crime gang went. The BMI Hero follows them.
"MY PRINCE!"
But suddenly, a little girl with short, slightly curly, light hair is hugging Fat Gum. He doesn't move, not wanting to hurt the child due to his weight.
He looks down in surprise, realizing who it is. "H-Hime! What the- I mean, what are you doing here this late at night?!"
Hime, Fat Gum's biggest fan, looks up in glee. "I'm going to a restaurant with mummy and daddy, but then I saw you!"
The small child hugs Taishiro even more and rubs his stomach. "Now please, oh please go back to your slim self!"
"Look, I'm very sorry Hime, but I'm in the middle of work. Where your parents?!"
(X)
"Looks like we got away from the heroes too, boss." Speaks the midget.
Their leader looks back as well. "We can't relax yet, let's keep going until we-"
But then they collide with the gray-haired man running from another route, causing a human crash in the intersection. Everyone has fallen and piled up, with the leader being on top of the guy that collided with them.
"Damn it! Watch where-!" He stops yelling, realizing who is under him. "Ayumu?! Why're you alone, where's Taishi?!"
Ayumu, also knowing who is on top of him, is afraid to speak but has to answer. "I just… looked away for a second, and… this guy from our rivals. I-I'm sorry, I tried to stop him, but then he turned huge-"
"Moron!" The leader punches Ayumu's head, and he aches from the pain. "It's always the same thing, I gave you a simple job and you couldn't even do that!"
Due to the criminals now on the ground, Creati and Red Riot were able to catch up to them.
With their bodies tangled or on top of one another, she has the time to quickly create costume-made handcuffs and starts placing them on the criminal's hands. Eijiro helps by grabbing each thug she has handcuffed and removing them from the pile.
"Ah! What is this?"
"How the hell are you making that out of your body?!"
"Suneater! Fat Gum! Follow my voice. We found them!" Momo calls out.
"Damn it!" Their leader feeling the pressure above him getting lighter, initiates his Quirk, turning like a flying eel escaping from the human pile.
But Eijiro grabs the man's suit just in time and pushes him down to the ground with help from his Quirk. The leader reverts back to his normal body.
"Got him! Geez, wasn't expecting this guy having a Quirk similar to Edgeshot."
Suneater finds the two first-year students and runs toward them just as Creati handcuffs the large arm man. Ayumu crawls off from the body above him and immediately gets up, running away, screaming in desperation.
"Damn it, one of them got away!" Eijiro says, still holding their leader on the ground.
Having arrived at their location, Tamaki can see the gray-haired man moving further from them.
"You two take these men and find the police. I'll get the last one." He then begins the chase.
Momo notices one of theirs is missing. "Hey Red Riot, where's Fat Gum?"
(X)
"Thank you so much for finding our daughter, hero." Says Hime's father, now holding her hand.
The embarrassed Fat Gum rubs the back of his head, accepting the father's words. "No problem, just doin' my job."
"C'mon Hime, we can't miss our reservation."
"We should be going, have a good evening mister hero." The mother says to Fat Gum.
The family bows down to him, and Taishiro does the same.
"The same goes for you, and enjoy your meal."
Hime says her own farewell. "Bye Fat Gum, I hope next time we meet, you're the pretty thin-looking prince again!"
"One day, Hime. One day." The BMI Hero responds while he waves to her.
With Hime and her parents disappearing through the crowd, Taishiro can sigh deeply, relieved to finally have this awkward situation end.
Suddenly he feels his pocket shaking and ringing. He gets the phone out. "Hello, is that you Creati?"
"Yes, it's me. Where are you? What happened?"
Fat Gum looks to the sides, embarrassed to explain why he got separated from them. "Uh… I'll explain later. What about you, did you get the drug dealers?"
"We did, I'm in the middle of giving them to the police, but one guy got away from us. Eijiro is looking for the person right now."
"I see, and what about Suneater?"
(X)
Ayumu's constant running is causing him to lose stamina. He arrived at a different crowded street and began walking, trying to act casual, but his nervousness and heavy breathing weren't helping him.
He's caught by Tamaki's octopus-looking fingers, using them to reel the thug in.
The gray-haired thug tries to get out of his bounds. "Crap! Please, let me go!"
"Sorry, I can't." Suneater replies.
"Leave me alone!" Ayumu then releases three ten-centimeter-long dull blades out from his arms.
Before the man could escape, Tamaki changed his bare feet to bird claws. Then, he creates wings on his back to get height and speed. He charges the thug with his talons, pushing him to the ground, now holding onto his back.
"Ow! What the hell are you, freak?!" Ayumu screams.
Tamaki's shoulders sag. "That was just cruel…"
The thug did not believe what he was seeing. "Oh, come on! How can you be more upset than me?!"
The criminal starts openly crying. "Why me… why so weak? No matter what I do I always cause problems for my bros and tonight was the worst… I just… wanted to become strong, I thought if I hung out with strong guys, then I could become one, too. If I followed them, then I would have a shot at real power."
He tightened his fists. "But instead, I always make things worse…"
Suneater eases his fighting instincts but still keeps a grip on the criminal.
"Then maybe you should realize committing crimes isn't for you. If you really want to make things right, you need to turn yourself in."
Ayumu ignores Tamaki and continues. "And that sorry excuse of a boss, just pushing me around and treating me like a child instead of helping me. Well, time for payback…"
The thug's voice changes into anger. He removes a small glass cylinder filled with red liquid from his trouser pocket.
"You and that jerk think I'm just gonna remain silent and do as you say cause I'm hopeless…?" Suneater notices but is too late to stop Ayumu from inserting the object on the side of his neck.
"Not anymore."
He screams in pain, letting go of the cylinder while Tamaki looks in horror, realizing what the gray-haired man has just done.
"No way, did you use Trigger?!"
He had to do something quickly. If those small blades represented the man's Quirk, it could get even more potent thanks to that drug and put the civilians around them in danger.
Tamaki quickly removes the avian parts from his back and feet and begins manifesting something else into his entire body. His whole torso and every limb grow unusually large that parts of his hero costume are highly stretched, but his hands and feet help to reveal he is now covered in seashells and the shells of sea snails.
At the same time, Rocketti and Real Steel arrive at his location, trying to find the runaway.
"I'm afraid we should go back, looks like he got away from us."
"MAN, NOT COOL! AND WHERE'S RYUKYU?!"
From another side of the path, Eijiro is panting while he walks, trying to find Tamaki in the crowd. When looking in front, he sees him.
Suneater gets down and clings onto the criminal, trying to cover his limbs around the man's body as much as possible. His prediction is thinking about the worst-case scenario.
"Everybody, get away right now! He's gonna explode!"
The two 1-B classmates hear Suneater's warning cry and notice who he is holding onto.
"HEY LOOK, IS THAT-!"
Suddenly, a few long sharp blades shoot out from all over the thug's body, with the rest being blocked by Tamaki's strong shells. The appearance of those metal rods causes panic, and the onlookers begin to run away.
The drugged man begins to chuckle hysterically, enjoying this new rush of power. "You think your stupid weird shells can block all my new blades?! I love to see you try, hero! Man, I'm on such a high right now! I feel like I can finally save my bros AND PROVE TO MY BOSS I'M WORTHY!"
More of those blades begin getting out from the gaps in Tamaki's body and move around the street. Cutting through concrete, cutting electric lighting, trapping the civilians, and a few get attacked.
Eijiro and Tetsutetsu already have their Quirks and begin breaking as many blades as they find, not realizing they are together in the same area.
"What the hell?! Is this the same guy who was running away from us?!" Asks Red Riot to himself in disbelief as he punches another pair of those long sharp rods.
Pony is now kneeling and instructing the scared civilians to move away from the sudden attack. "Stay down and keep an eye on those long knives while you move!"
"EVERYONE, THIS WAY! WE MADE AN OPENING!" Real Steel calls out, leading the civilians through the broken blades he has made.
Red Riot seeing a couple with bloody injuries, runs to them. "Hold on, I'll get you outta here!"
"Kid, leave them to me!"
Eijiro looks behind to see Fat Gum has three people inserted within his body.
"You continue dealing with those blades, I'll carry the injured!" The BMI Hero instructs Red Riot.
"Um… Got it!" He responds, leaving the injured man and woman. He'll learn about the Pro Hero's mysterious gut later.
Pony carries a little crying boy, ensuring they don't get caught by those long makeshift knives. As for Suneater, he is doing all he can to hold the drugged blade-man at bay. But his costume has been cut several times, including all his shells now having blade marks.
"I'll admit, you got balls blocking me like this! But let's see if you're still alive after I SKEWER YOU!"
The thug concentrates dozens of his blades into a sharp blast attack, sending the concentrated rods around Tamaki. This causes him to scream in painful agony.
Red Riot noticing this knew something had to be done. "Not good. I gotta help him!"
Real Steel, also seeing what is happening, decides to assist. "HOLD ON, I'M COMING!"
Both boys run fast toward Suneater and start activating their super moves.
Eijiro's entire body begins to harden and become rugged, giving him a maximum hardening level and monstrous appearance. Several creaking sounds are heard as he runs.
"Red Riot Unbreakable!"
For Tetsutetsu, his metal body turns even more solid, making him look square-shaped. His feet cause the sound of metal clanging on the ground.
"Super Metal!"
Tamaki hears the weird sounds and notices the two many boys in their unique appearances running toward him.
"OUTTA THE WAY!" They shout at the same time.
With the pain becoming unbearable, he had to trust them; Suneater quickly removed himself from the drugged thug. Red Riot and Real Steel punch several times on the blade blasts until the manly boys embrace the drugged criminal with their defensive abilities. This time they can block all the blades from getting out, and in the end, they do a headbutt onto the thug's head.
With those physical attacks and the Trigger effects finally subsiding, the blade attacks stop. Both Eijiro and Tetsutetsu let go of the criminal, and he falls down. Their super moves dissipate, with their now standard bodies releasing steam and their costumes slightly broken.
Each looks at the boy before him, not believing who it is.
"What the, Steel Bro?"
"RED BRO, WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?!"
Both hear and see the gray-haired man trying to move away from them.
"Don't, don't come near me! I just wanted to get stronger. Please, let me go! I'm just a pitiful man who wants some power!" The defeated thug pleads to them.
"SHUT UP!" Tetsutetsu takes the initiative and grabs the man's arms behind his back, pinning him down and preventing the criminal from trying to escape.
Eijiro witnessed this with wide eyes. "Woah, what are ya doing, bro?"
"WHAT? YOU SAW WHAT HE CAN DO, WE CAN'T TAKE ANY CHANCES!"
Red Riot doesn't counter him; his friend is right. He decides to also help in pinning the criminal down. "Good point."
Suneater is sitting on the ground catching his breath while dealing with the terrible pain of his ordeal. His costume is all shredded, with many bloody cuts on his bare skin that the shells didn't cover.
"Tamaki?! Are you alright?!"
He looks up to see his friend Nejire up in the air, now coming down toward him.
(X)
A large police force has arrived at the location of the blade attacks and set a perimeter for the onlookers and reporters that have come to check it out. There is also one set up for the Fat Gum and Ryukyu group, who all ignore the media's demands for answers and comments about what had happened.
One of the cops, a policewoman, is explaining the situation. "Thanks for helping us stop them. Those guys are part of a team selling illegal drugs and items, so we'd been waiting for a chance like this. The two men with gigantic quirks have been arrested as well. We also put extra security on the guy who inserted himself with Trigger as a precaution."
"And the civilians who got trapped at the scene?" Ryukyu asks.
"Many suffered a variety of injuries during the man's Trigger phase, but fortunately there seems to be no reports of loss limbs or casualties."
"That's a relief, that drug was most likely an inferior version." Fat Gum chimes in.
"And since you all have given your reports, you're free to go. We'll take it from here, thank you for your hard work." The policewoman ends with a polite bow.
Both Fat Gum and Ryukyu do the same, including speaking together. "Thank you for your cooperation."
The U.A. students are close to an ambulance where the paramedics treat Tamaki, now covered with a towel.
"So humiliating… I look like a flasher…" Suneater utters weakly.
Nejire cheers him up. "It was either that or letting the crazy drugged guy kill people with his blades. You were very brave, Tamaki."
"HELL YEAH, YOU GOT BALLS OF STEEL, DUDE!" Tetsutetsu agrees.
At the same time, Creati, Rocketti, and Red Riot are conversing.
"So, you and Real Steel are working with Ryukyu?" Momo asks the 1-B student.
"We are. Me and Tetsutetsu had Nejire Chan as an examinee in our summer exams, so I decided to ask if the agency she's in had any openings for more work study students." Pony explains.
Eijiro reacts with friendly jealousy. "Man, wish I could be in your shoes. Me and my bro couldn't join the same agency we wanted since each only had one space available."
Pony chuckles at Red Riot's response, knowing how close those two manly boys are. "By the way, how is Peter doing?"
Both 1-A students weren't surprised by her question about Spider-Man, since both are fellow gaijins in their school.
"Still being the top student in our class. He's doing his hero work study with Kamui Woods." Momo then has her hand on her chin, thinking. "And I just heard him, Mt. Lady and Death Arms are in the middle of merging their hero agencies with Edgeshot's."
Pony is surprised to hear that, including Eijiro. "Woah really?! That's badass!"
The two Pro Heroes view the group of work-study students from afar, having their own chat.
"Hard to believe most of them are only first years." Fat Gum chuckles.
"Question is, whether they can keep this up for the next two years." Ryukyu responds. "Maybe they're good enough for something very important."
Taishiro reacts with a raised eyebrow. "Huh? What is it?"
Ryukyu looks around, preferring not to have anyone overhear them. "Follow me."
The two move further away, arriving at an urban river. "First, tell me. Were you contacted by Sir Nighteye's agency?"
Fat Gum is first surprised at that question. "Actually, yeah. Wait… don't tell me you were contacted too?"
She nods, arms crossed. "I did, seems like they're trying to get the necessary heroes to team up for a specific case."
"Well, this is Nighteye we're talkin' about. Whatever he's plannin' it's definitely important." He places his hands on his sides.
"It sure is." Ryukyu turns to stare at the water, now stern. "The investigation and raid of the yakuza group, Shie Hassaikai."
"And with the League of Villains' possible connection with them…" He looks up at the night sky. "It's a very big one indeed…"
Ld1449 as the editor
And that was a chapter showing the other students doing their own hero work studies, including the appearance of Pony, which we haven't seen in a while.
This is the only chapter I make within Zaru's and IKN's take on the Shie Hassaikai arc in their main story. Currently, I'm working on something more unique after my take on Rumi's backstory. I will tell you more here, in FFDESS or spacebattles.
See you next time!
