"You beat Stain after he stabbed you in the liver?!"
The Jujutsushi turned his Six Eyes away from his classmate, a sheepish look staining his face.
Eijirou's own expression was one of shock as his crimson eyes shifted between Tenya, Shoto, and Izuku.
1-A mimicked the redhead as a plethora of questions flooded the trio, each eager to gain a better understanding of the, now infamous, Hosu Incident.
"How did it feel to be Pro Heroes?"
"Were the Nomu scary?"
"How was it like fighting The Hero Killer?"
The trio answered the questions as best they could, a light dusting of pink kissing their cheeks as they did so.
"Todoroki and I weren't granted EHS until the very end of the incident; however, in that brief instance it felt as though I was truly making a difference!"
The aforementioned dual-haired teen nodded his head in agreement before answering the second question.
"The Nomu were scary at first but I put my faith in my training and defeated them soundly."
His answer was short and firm, his bout of pride spreading to all listening as thoughts of their own improvements flashed in their minds.
The class then turned to Izuku Midoriya, impatient eyes eagerly awaiting the answer to the most pressing question asked so far.
Details about his bout with the infamous Hero Killer.
The Jujutsushi lightly scratched his burn scar as his mind recalled the fight between himself and Stain.
Finally, he answered.
"If I'm being honest, it was horrifying. I had to fight him on his turf with no backup from any of my techniques. It felt like he knew every move I was going to make even before I did. The worst part was when he managed to stab me, it felt like everything and everyone I cared about was going to disappear."
The explanation sent a bout of fear down the spine of all those in attendance as they imagined themselves in the position of their classmate, forced to fight a blood-lusted Stain, eager to put them down.
Denki was the first to break the silence, his voice marred with the fear that was instilled within each of his classmates.
"Y-You're better than me Midoriya, I think I would've given up the moment I stepped in that alley."
A chorus of agreement rang throughout the class as they spoke of how they would react had it been them to walk through that alley and confront The Hero Killer.
Before long, the conversations shifted toward more casual subjects, the building fear that plagued the atmosphere evaporating, taking the sense of unease from the class as it did so.
Izuku himself allowed his mind to succumb to senseless scrolling most his age partook in as he pursued the latest news surrounding a myriad of his favorite subjects.
It was during this bout of mindless scrolling that a particularly exciting piece of news caught the attention of the Jujutsushi.
Shooting from his seat, the boy bounded toward the only other classmate he knew would be as excited, if not more so, than himself.
Kyouka Jirou.
The lavender-haired girl was locked in conversation with 1-A's vice president leaving the boy to wait patiently for them to finish.
A few moments later, Momo pointed a slender finger toward the boy, alerting her friend to his presence and causing the lavender-haired girl to finally acknowledge his presence.
As she did so, a mirth-filled smile tugged at her features as she sat up straight, a mix of curiosity and excitement dancing in her eyes.
She hastily spoke, eager to talk to someone who had many of the same interests as her.
"What's up, Midoriya?"
Faster than her eyes could properly perceive, his phone was thrust into her face, the screen displaying an article in tandem with a picture of the quartet mentioned within said article.
As her coal eyes scanned the webpage, her own expression grew in elation, her wide grin matching the one the Jujutsushi before her wore.
After her fifteenth reread, Kyouka finally shot up, her hands intertwining with her friends as they jumped excitedly.
Momo's onyx eyes focused on the duo as a light smile rested on her features, the confusion she held marring her eyes.
Before long, the teen spoke, eager to understand what inspired the sudden bout of excitement currently plaguing the two.
"Did something exciting happen in the news?"
As the question registered, the two stopped jumping before turning toward the vice president, a blank expression replacing the ones of pure elation that previously stamped their faces.
Kyouka was the first to speak, her voice flat as she grabbed her friend's phone.
"Not just something, but the single greatest thing to happen to Midwest Emo in about 4 years."
Izuku nodded from his place behind her, punctuating his agreement with a hum.
The revelation only served to confuse Momo more as she tilted her head slightly, her long bangs falling to the wayside as she did so.
"And that would be?"
The duo looked at each other before looking back to Momo, expressions of shock marring their faces as Kyouka thrust Izuku's phone into the teen's face.
Together, the two spoke, condensing the article down into the single most important part.
"Mom Jeans is releasing another album."
"Hero Basics Training will be a little different today."
1-A began to murmur amongst themselves as speculation filled the air, wild theories of what they'd be doing today, alongside the absence of All Might, filling the room.
Before them stood their homeroom teacher alongside a tall man with short, black, hair and black eyes to match.
The aforementioned man offered 1-A a warm smile before calmly introducing himself.
"Hello to you all. I am Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi and I will be assisting with today's exercise."
The revelation seemed to deepen the theorizing amongst the class as the hushed whispers turned to loud speculation.
Before long Shota raised his hand, silently instructing his class to silence themselves.
An instruction they hastily followed.
A small sigh of satisfaction escaped the man's lips as he pressed a remote, revealing the cases containing the classes Hero Costumes.
"Suit up and follow me to the buses, I'll explain everything once we get there."
Excited skepticism turned to confusion as the class shot glances amongst themselves, unaware as to where exactly they'd be going.
Hanta was the first to break the silence, asking the question on everyone's mind.
"Where exactly is there?"
Shota shot the boy a lazy glance as he began walking outside the classroom before finally answering once he'd hit the door.
"Ground Charlie."
"Holy shit."
The words fell from Kyoukas lips as her eyes poured over the massive building in front of them.
If you could even call it a building.
Before them was a massive Château accented with a garden almost as big as the entirety of UA's main building.
The castle-esque building was surrounded by lights, camera crews, and formally dressed civilians who excitedly perused the building before them.
In front of the main entrance was a seemingly infinite, crimson-red carpet which a number of the party-goers stood on, posing for the plethora of cameras surrounding them.
In short, it seemed as though a party only Momo or Shoto could get into was in the midst.
Shota cleared his throat, gaining the attention of his class as he began to explain what exactly they'd be doing in class.
"Today, we'll be stepping away from the one one-on-one combat we've been focusing on and delve into the stealth we briefly explored during the start of the year."
Immediately, Eijirou shot his hand up, confusion marring his features as he awaited to be called on.
The scraggly man offered a short nod, allowing him permission to speak.
"I don't wanna sound dumb but why exactly are we focusing on stealth? The top Pro Heroes fight manly battles in the public so I don't see us gaining anything from this."
A few words of agreement were given by the class as they awaited their homeroom teacher to offer an explanation.
He didn't get the chance, however, as Momo did it for him.
"While there is some truth to that sentiment, there a still a plethora of situations in which a Hero needs to rescue a villain without being spotted. A couple of examples of such a situation would include, but are not limited to, cases of terrorism and hostage rescue."
Shota hummed in approval before another voice rang out from the crowd.
"That's true, but isn't that what the police and specialist Heroes are for?"
Another chorus of agreement followed as Hanta patiently awaited an answer from the class vice president.
His answer, however, came from the position one above the aforementioned VP.
Izuku turned toward his classmate, a small smile kissing his features, before speaking.
"You're absolutely right, Sero, however, there are cases in which a specialist isn't available or the one that is available doesn't have a quirk necessarily suited for the task at hand. That's why it is best for us as aspiring Pros to be as multi-faceted as possible. That way, we can save as many lives as possible. For example, Ochako has potential in both combat and disaster rescue meaning she can be applicable to situations outside of the typical combat Hero."
The sudden praise instilled a blush in the aforementioned brunette as her chocolate eyes fought to avoid contact with anything freckled and named Izuku.
After his explanation, understanding befell the students of 1-A as they returned their attention to their scraggly homeroom teacher.
Upon realizing he'd regained the attention of his homeroom class, Shota resumed his explanation of the exercise.
"This is Ground Charlie. Unlike the other facilities on campus, this is designed to mimic a variety of scenarios containing live civilians. For the sake of today's exercise, it has taken the shape of a fashion show in Paris."
His explanation was halted as an excited cheer erupted from three of his students.
Turning toward the aforementioned teens, Shota locked eyes with a cheering Mina, Toru, and Yuga, elation stamped firmly on their faces.
Upon seeing the irate glare of their homeroom teacher, however, the look of elation melted into one of fear as they hastily silenced themselves.
Aizawa cleared his throat once more.
"Within this fashion show are trained actors dedicated to bringing as much realism as possible to this exercise as such, I expect you all to treat this exercise as if you are actually infiltrating a Paris fashion show which means doing everything in your power to complete your objectives. Please don't hit the actors too hard though, there's only so much a liability contract can solve. You will all develop your own teams with as many or as few people as possible and in-"
A question cut him off.
The slight fear that once marred the pinkettes face was nowhere to be found as she eagerly rattled off her question.
"Wait, why do we get to pick teams now? What happened to the aspect of working with random Pros?"
Although irate at the interjection, Shota couldn't deny that it was a good question.
One that he didn't get the chance to answer as the class president hastily did it for him.
"Unlike the first scenario, situations like these are often planned out meaning the Heroes have a chance to pick personnel who work best with their quirks."
Mina responded with an understanding 'oh' before returning her attention to her homeroom teacher.
Gathering his thoughts once more, Shota continued his explanation of the exercise for what felt like the umpteenth time.
"Once you decide on your teams you will then infiltrate the Châteu and retrieve a dossier of clients."
Minoru interjected with his own question.
"Clients for what?"
Another irate glare.
"I was getting to that."
The grape-headed boy offered a sheepish apology before allowing his teacher to continue.
"The fashion show is only a front for an auction in which the aforementioned clients bid on the prettiest model and whoever wins the bid owns said model and can do with them whatever they please. In addition to the retrieval of this dossier, you and your teams are tasked with incapacitating the ring leader of the operation and returning them to the drop-off point. Any questions?"
Surprisingly, the class remained silent as they awaited instructions which seemed to irritate Shota further.
The time when they're actually allowed to ask questions and they ask none?
"I can't stand these kids sometimes."
Grumbling the thought away, Shota motioned his hand toward the detective, allowing him to speak.
Recognizing his cue, the raven stepped aside, revealing a police van filled to the brim with gear and surveillance equipment.
The class began another round of excited gasps and theorizing as their eyes poured over the equipment before them.
As they did so, Naomasa took the opportunity to begin his portion of the explanation.
"During the mission, you'll be allowed to use anything you see here to aid you in the retrieval of the dossier and the ring leader. While inside, you will be allowed to use anything you find available while also referring to e for any questions ."
The class nodded in understanding before turning back toward their homeroom teacher, each student eager to begin the exercise.
Shota offered a small yawn in response before continuing with the rules of the exercise.
"During the course of your mission, you will be restricted to using your quirks in only stealth-oriented ways so as to avoid drawing attention to yourselves. Furthermore, it's best to avoid being seen in costume as there's a chance it will trigger a lockdown and make it all but impossible to safely secure your objectives. Questions?"
A strong hand courtesy of Tenya shot through the air as he patiently awaited to be called upon.
After receiving a short hum from his teacher, the bluenette spoke his question in his typical robotic nature.
"Since we aren't allowed to use our quirks for combat, are we not allowed to subdue any security we may encounter?"
Shota shook his head in response before clarifying.
"No, you're allowed to subdue whoever you need to if it helps you secure your objectives, however, should you do so it is imperative you hide the bodies so as to not arouse suspicion should someone stumble upon some poor security guard you knocked unconscious. In that same vein, if you're caught on camera doing something illegal you'd best wipe the footage."
The bluenette offered an understanding nod before resuming his attentive posture, his framed eyes displaying the same eagerness as his classmates.
Shota then turned his gaze upon the rest of the class, ready to give his last piece of instruction.
"Finally, unlike previous exercises, you will NOT be allowed to view your classmate's take on the exercise. This is to keep you from gathering info from your classmate's possible failures while also retaining the uncertainty that permeates even planned scenarios such as this one."
With those final words of instruction, Shota allowed the class time to split into their respective teams, each planning carefully in hopes of creating the perfect combination of abilities.
"I guess it's just you and me green."
The two stood together, slightly away from the other, larger teams before them.
A small chuckle escaped the Sorcerer's lips as he watched Mina drag his girlfriend into her group before turning toward his friend and smiling.
"Yeah, but with your quirk I know we're gonna pass."
The comment caught the rocker girl off guard as a layer of pink fell upon her cheeks causing the girl to shift her gaze away from her friend.
The duo headed toward their homeroom teacher before collecting a number indicating when it'd be their turn to infiltrate the Châtaeu.
"We're going 9th"
The lavender-haired girl gained a brief look of shock before looking over the ticket and counting the groups.
Once she'd finished turned toward her classmate and spoke, her voice layered with relief.
"We're going last."
"Kouda, Shoji, are you ready?"
The typically non-verbal boys nodded, determination alongside anxiety etched into their faces.
"Then you are cleared to begin."
Upon receiving their clearance, Mezo and Kou put their plan into action, the latter beckoning a handful of insects before sending them into the Châtaeu.
The bugs soared throughout the building, checking each and every room for sight of the target they'd been assigned to capture.
Before long, the flies caught sight of the woman on the fifth floor of the building which meant they could enact the second part of their plan.
Unfurling his Dupli-Arms, Mezo stalked toward the left side of the building with his partner in tow.
"Yeah, it's just some shitty fashion show, I'll be home to watch the kids when I'm done"
The voice caused the duo to halt before diving into a bush.
The security guard in front of them walked by their hiding spot, his attention fully focused on his phone.
"K. Love you, bye."
As the brown-haired man hung up his phone call, Mezo wrapped his arms around the guard's throat before dragging him into the bush they'd been hiding in.
Before the man could even question what was happening, a strong right hook collided with his temple, knocking the man out cold.
Leaving the man in the bush, Mezo motioned his partner toward the fire escape, the two rushing toward it as fast and as silently as they could muster.
Once they reached the escape, the larger of the two used his Dupli-Arms to knock loose the ladder attached to the stairs before scaling the escape.
Before long the two reached the fifth floor and hastily climbed into a window.
"Who the hell are you two?"
The sudden voice shook the two aspiring Heroes to their core as they turned left to meet its owner.
Before them stood a decently tall security guard with a distinctly American face and accent, his pistol already leveled at Kou's head.
The two students turned their gazes toward each other, panic fixed on their faces.
The lack of response seemed to irritate the man as he used his free left hand to press on his radio, intent on calling back up.
The motion brought the two boys back to reality as the larger one lunged at the security guard, desperate to stop the call before it could go out.
He was too slow.
"I've got to unKNOW-"
Mezo dropped the guard with a sharp right hook which put him to sleep.
The two remained silent, waiting to see if the call had managed to reach the other security detail throughout the fashion show.
The blaring alarm that rang out seconds later gave them their answer.
Naomasa's voice sprung to life in their ear, the man giving them a simple instruction.
"RUN!"
The two immediately rushed back to the fire escape and feverently descended the stairs.
What met them, however, rendered their retreat pointless.
The moment they dropped from the ladder a chorus of clicks flooded their ears as nearly the entire security detail present trained their weapons on the duo.
One of the aforementioned guards broke the short silence that fell upon the group, her gun never leaving the boys.
"What the fuck are you two doing here?"
"What did you do wrong?"
The detective's expression was calm as he patiently awaited the duo before him to answer his question.
After a few moments of thought, Mezo spoke, his eyes downcast as he refused to meet his partners or the detective's gaze.
"We didn't think to check the top of the fire escape. Not only that, but when we were confronted we both froze rather than stall him long enough to get a clean shot. That gave him enough time to call reinforcements which led to our loss."
The detective's calm demeanor shifted to one of understanding a small smile made itself known to his features.
"That's right. You two were extremely efficient when it came to finding the target's location but that rendered you ignorant to the security detail patrolling the Châtaeu. Now let's get back to the class."
The duo nodded, internalizing their faults and dedicating themselves to doing better.
"Hagakure, Mineta, are you ready?"
The two gave excited nods, the former bouncing on her toes unbeknownst to those watching.
"Then you are cleared to begin."
As soon as they received clearance, the two headed deep into the garden, their eyes scanning for something in particular as they did so.
Before long, they arrived at a box tucked away from the fashion show, a plethora of wires protruding from it.
"Is this it?"
The grape-head shrugged his shoulders before popping off a piece of his hair and affixing it to the box.
Using his new leverage, Minoru yanked the box doors off before retrieving a device from his utility belt.
Saying a silent prayer, the grape head shoved the device into the switch console and anxiously waited.
Toru mimicked his expression as her breath stalled in her throat, silently praying the gadget they'd taken would work as advertised.
And luckily for them, it did.
The boy's phone sprung to life as the visual feed from the cameras displayed on his device.
The result allowed the duo to breathe as they feverently flipped through the camera feeds.
The search continued for a while before finally, Toru spoke, recognition on her tongue.
"There she is!"
The grape head immediately stopped flipping through feeds as his eyes settled upon the one before him.
Within her fifth-floor suite sat their target, calmly sipping a glass of what the grape head assumed to be wine.
"Alright. Move to phase two."
The invisible girl nodded, or at least Minoru thought she nodded, before peeling away from her partner and entering the building.
Minoru, on the other hand, moved toward completing his part of the phase two.
Stalking through the garden, the student ducked behind a shed, his eyes locked on his target.
Once the man had turned around, Minoru popped off a couple of his hairballs before calmly approaching from behind.
"I wonder what Nadine wants to do for dinn-"
The man wasn't allowed to finish his sentences as his legs were kicked out from under him and his body bound to the wall of the shed.
Minoru punctuated his assault by swiping the man's gun before leveling it at his forehead, his voice low and steady as he spoke.
"Radio in and tell them there's a disturbance on the east side of the Château."
For extra emphasis, Minoru pulled the slide on the pistol back before re-centering it on the man's head, instilling the fear of death within him.
The security guard offered a shaky nod before raising his arm and pressing the speak button.
"T-There's been a disturbance near the east side of the building. A-All available units r-report!"
Once the man had released the button, Minoru pulled a few more balls from his head, using them to restrain the man's arms and legs before heading into the building.
It was time for the third part of the plan.
Rushing toward the nearest wall, the student used his adhesive balls to feverently scale the Château wall, all the way up to the fifth floor.
Where his target was located.
Due to his earlier call, the floor was nearly vacant, allowing him to approach the room unnoticed, regrouping with his partner.
Turning toward where he assumed his partner to be, Minoru shot her a look of excitement mixed with nervousness as his hand rested on the doorknob.
"Ready?"
"Ready."
The purple-haired teen twisted the doorknob before immediately leveling his pistol at the woman halting her movements.
As Toru checked the room, Minoru made his way toward the ring leader, his firearm steadily trained at her skull.
After receiving an all-clear from his partner, Minoru finally spoke, his gun never leaving the woman.
"The dossier, hand it over."
The woman feigned an expression of ignorance as she moved her hand under the coffee table.
Minoru, however, wasn't having it.
With a twitch of his finger, the grape-head shot the woman near her hand, causing her to quickly yank the appendage back.
His voice grew irritant as his brow furrowed.
"You should realize by now that we know who you are and what you have. If you don't hand over your client dossier you'll end up with two to the head."
The ring leader offered a shaky nod as she produced a tan folder from inside her blouse before handing it to the aspiring Hero.
Handing the folder to his partner, Minoru popped a few more balls from his head, using them to bind and gag his target before turning toward the exit.
"I haven't seen any guards yet so they might still be looking for the disturbance you called in."
With a nod, the two began their rapid descent of the building, avoiding guards along the way as they finally made it to the drop-off point.
Passing.
"Unlike the prior matches, you all will be allowed to view the last one containing Kyouka Jirou and Izuku Midoriya as they are the last pair for the day meaning you won't be able to gain anything from viewing them."
1-A nodded at their homeroom teacher's words as they turned toward the newly live screen mounted on the side of the surveillance van.
"Jirou, Midoriya, are you ready?"
The duo nodded, their eyes scanning the Châtaeu as they ducked behind a garden bush.
"Then you are cleared to begin."
Rather than begin moving toward the perimeter of the venue like the teams prior, Kyouka and Izuku remained behind cover, exchanging hushed whispers.
"What are they talking about?"
The students of 1-A turned toward Naomasa, looks of confusion and expectancy painting their faces as they eagerly awaited the answer to Mina's question.
The detective, however, only smiled before giving a small shake of his head.
"You'll see soon enough."
After a few more minutes of whispering followed by shared nods, the duo began their route toward the side entrance of the Châtaeu.
As they entered the parking lot, Izuku yanked his partner behind a car before slamming his hand over her mouth and pointing up toward the roof.
Following his arm, Kyouka nearly jumped out of her skin as her eyes focused on the sniper stationed on the roof, his massive gun scanning the parking lot.
Turning her head back to meet her partner's Six Eyes, the teen peeled his hand from her mouth before whispering.
"What now?"
The greenette furrowed his brow, thinking to himself for half a minute as his Six Eyes searched for a possible solution.
Before long, a spark ignited behind his sky-blue eyes as he rounded the back of the car before producing his own pistol.
Signaling his partner to cover her sensitive ears, Izuku silently moved from car to car before finally raising his revolver and putting a bullet into the sides of four cars on the opposite side of the lot.
The effect was immediate, the blaring alarms instantly drawing the attention of the sniper as he scanned for the source of the sudden noise.
The two acted quickly, ducking in through the side doors before slipping into a bathroom adjacent to their entrance.
"They're going inside?!"
The half question half observation courtesy of Katsuki slightly surprised 1-A, the majority of the class believing he'd care little for the match.
Turning back toward the monitor, the same confusion that was present on the blonde's face became etched into the rest of the class, including Shota himself, as they watched the two patiently wait in the bathroom.
For what, they had no clue.
But what they did know was that the approach Izuku and Kyouka had taken was wildly different than the rest of theirs.
And that infuriated Katsuki to no end.
Clenching his fist, his ruby-red eyes locked solely onto the screen before him, a mix of rage and anticipation present as he watched his former friend work through the exercise.
"So what now?"
Izuku turned his Six Eyes toward his partner as she swung her legs from her seat on the sink, boredom etched onto her face.
From his position beside the door, Izuku spoke, his tone nearly matching her expression as he did do.
"We kinda just wait for someone to come in here and go from there."
After receiving a hum in acknowledgment, the two returned to silence, patiently waiting for someone, anyone, to walk through the door.
Luckily, they didn't have to wait much longer.
A few moments after their return to silence, two people burst through the door, their bodies melded together as they feverently locked lips.
Ignorant to the two aspiring Pro Heroes.
The couple continued their act of passion, the shorter woman pressing her partner against the stall as she began unbuttoning his burgundy vest and then his white dress shirt, trailing kisses along his torso as she did so.
"Uhhh, hi?"
Upon hearing the voice of Izuku, the couple instantly froze up before locking eyes with the teen, a mix of embarrassment and anger fueling their scowls.
Before long, the woman spoke, her brow furrowed as she raised an angry finger at the teen.
"Now you listen here you little shit, stop perving and get the fuck out of this bath-"
A tap on her shoulder cut her off and caused her to turn toward the source.
In doing so, however, she was met with a wide right hook from one Kyouka Jirou which put her to sleep.
The duo then turned toward the nearly undressed boy, his once irate scowl replaced with a look of fear as the two students calmly approached them.
With a wave of his hand, the frightened boy produced a switchblade and raised it toward Izuku.
Who returned the gesture with a right sidekick to the face, knocking him out cold.
The Jujutsushi turned toward his fellow musician before pointing to the sleeping body of the woman she'd knocked unconscious.
"She looks about your size."
"No fucking way."
The voice of Katsuki served to echo the thoughts of 1-A as they watched their classmates take on the exercise many of them failed.
The reason for this recent bout of shock was simple as they watched the duo do what none of them had thought of attempting.
"Did they really just steal their clothes?"
A grinning Naomasa turned toward the shocked form of Denki Kaminari before speaking.
"Yes. Yes, they did."
"These pants are kinda tight."
Izuku turned his Six Eyes toward the form of his friend and exercise partner before flashing a thumbs up.
"They look alright to me, the bartender look suits you."
Upon receiving the compliment, a blushing Kyouka turned her coal eyes toward herself, giving her body a once-over as she looked at the aforementioned outfit.
They both wore black slacks in tandem with a white dress shirt and a burgundy vest alongside a black bowtie to finish.
The slacks hugged her thighs before flaring down toward her calves while the vest accentuated her snatched waist, the color allowing her typically dull eyes to pop.
All in all, she could get behind the look.
Shaking the thought from her head, she returned her focus to her partner, her eyes tracking him as he dumped the bodies in a utility closet before locking the door and shutting it.
"Next is the pantry, right?"
The Sorcerer nodded his head before leading his partner through the lower levels of the Châtaeu and toward the aforementioned pantry.
Once they reached the "pantry" which was more akin to a cellar, Kyouka quickly snatched up what the two had come down for before hastily ascending the steps back up toward their next place of interest.
"Rat poison?"
Tenya pressed his glasses up to his eyes as his mind ran over the possible uses the duo would have for rat poison of all things.
Katsuki was equally confused, his face of anger devolving into one of curiosity as he watched the duo move throughout the Châtaeu.
What they didn't realize, however, was that they'd see the poison in action much sooner than anticipated.
"Can I get a Shirley Temple, please? I don't want to drink before I get on the runway."
With a nod of his head, the Jujutsushi began mixing the woman's drink, adding a mix of ginger ale and a splash of grenadine to the shaker before pouring it over ice and topping it with a maraschino cherry.
After handing the woman the drink, he turned toward his partner, watching as she mixed the drinks asked of her.
The two had made their way to the lounge area for the models and began serving as though they were meant to be there, none the wiser of their true intentions.
His thoughts were broken as he locked eyes with his partner, a questioning look on her face.
Izuku shook his head in response before mouthing his explanation so as not to be overheard.
"Not yet. None the right size."
Kyouka nodded her head in understanding before continuing to do her "job", patiently serving the models with a smile on her face.
This pattern continued for a few minutes before finally, a new crowd of models flooded in.
The two were hit with an influx of orders which they went about fulfilling, all while continuing to search for the right set of people.
Before long, two models from the new group walked up to the bar, each ordering a drink called Sex On The Beach.
The duo went about mixing the drinks, pouring in a mix of vodka, Creme De Cassis, Peach Schnapps, orange juice, and cranberry juice.
Before they closed their shakers, however, the two shared a look, Izuku nodding his head in confirmation.
While the two were distracted by their phones, the students slipped the rat poison into the drinks before mixing them thoroughly.
After garnishing with an orange slice, the duo served the models their drinks and watched as they walked away, happily sipping on their "special" drinks.
"They're poisoning the models? But why? They aren't the target."
The brunette rubbed her padded fingers on her chin as she pushed herself in an attempt to figure out her boyfriend's plan.
Katsuki, however, had no such trouble.
"The nerd wants their disguises. If you look at the shitheads they spiked you can see that they look similar to Deku and the other girl. The dude even has freckles and green hair, just a brighter shade. The girl is about Ears' size and while her hair isn't lavender, Ears' hair is just dark enough to get away with it by claiming she dyed it."
The revelation caused 1-A to turn their attention away from the monitor and toward the blonde, questioning looks on their face.
Mina was the first to speak, her tone imbued with skepticism as she looked toward her classmate.
"But why? How will posing as undressed models get them closer to the target? Unless…"
The pinkette trailed off as a look of realization washed over her skepticism.
An arrogant grin stamped itself on Katsuki's face as he stared down his classmate, watching as genius his revelation took hold.
"You finally figured it out, haven't you Pinky?"
"I don't feel so well."
As soon as the words reached the duo's ears, they calmly stepped away from the bar before approaching the models, concerned looks painting their features.
Izuku was the first to speak, gingerly resting his hand on the male model's shoulder as he did so.
"Are you alright? Would you like me to escort you to a bathroom?"
Kyouka's own questioning was much the same, resulting in a nod from both models.
Upon receiving confirmation, the duo began escorting the pair before them to the bathrooms closest to the lounge, their caring looks remaining steady on their faces.
Before long, the quartet reached the bathrooms, the bartender posing students remaining outside as the models headed inside.
The students calmly waited for the models to expunge the contents of their stomachs and once the hurling stopped,
They struck.
The aspiring Heroes quickly rushed into the bathrooms before wrapping their arms around the throats of the models, hastily subduing them.
When the kicking stopped, they quickly changed clothes before propping the bodies up on a toilet and locking the stall.
Once they finished, the duo reconvened and headed toward their next destination.
Makeup.
"Bakugou was right, they're really going to compete."
1-A stared at the monitor as disbelief ran rampant among them, Mina, in particular, the most shocked.
That shock, however, turned into irritation as she came to a sudden realization.
"WHY DIDN'T WE THINK OF THAT?!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Toru and Yuga palmed their faces, vexed at the fact they'd missed out on being models.
Ochako looked toward her friends, releasing a small laugh before returning her focus to the monitor, a slight blush on her face as she imagined her boyfriend walking down the runway.
She couldn't wait.
"You have more freckles than usual, Ko."
The greenettes eyes widened as his makeup artist ran her thumb along the freckles peppered on his face.
He shared an anxious look with his partner before returning his attention to the navy-haired woman gingerly applying his makeup.
Thinking on the fly Izuku spoke, trying his hardest to hide the nervousness within his voice.
"I uhh, I usually wear concealer when out in public but I decided to wear them out today."
His makeup artist hummed before running her fingers through his long tri-colored locks.
"I definitely like them better this way, same with the hair, I'm loving the highlights."
The Jujutsushi offered a few words of gratitude as the woman continued to work on augmenting the student's features.
Once she finished, the woman turned her attention to Kyouka, her same delicate smile stamped on her face.
Running her lithe fingers along the girl's jaw and shoulders, her smile widened before she began to apply light makeup to the student.
"Your shoulders are a bit broader and your thighs are thicker as well. Whatever routine you're doing Ada it's working."
The compliment threw the teen off guard, a bright pink hue firmly stamped on her cheeks.
A few minutes later, her makeup and hair were finished before the two were sent to get dressed, then sent to their coach before finally,
They were sent to the runway.
"Oh my god."
The brunette managed to force the sentence out as the rest of breath stalled in her throat.
And for good reason.
Her eyes, along with the eyes of every other girl present, were firmly locked on the Jujutsushi standing in line as he waited to walk the runway.
Varying levels of pink dusted their faces as they found themselves unable to properly articulate how they felt upon viewing the Sorcerer.
The boys were no better.
Denki was arguably the most smitten, his expression matching Ochako's as the two could only be described as entranced.
The remainder of the male students, including Katsuki, struggled to breathe as their eyes poured over Kyouka over and over.
For arguably the first time during the exercise, 1-A was silent, unprovoked.
"Representing GOLF le FLEUR, we are proud to present, the lovers of modeling, Ada & Kou!"
Upon being introduced, the duo took to the runway, doing their best to walk as the coach behind them instructed them to.
During their strut, the two made sure to show off their outfits as best they could, doing their damnedest to put their outfits at the forefront.
Izuku was dressed in a cream-colored suit with a pink dress shirt and a candy-red tie.
Atop that lay a pink puffer jacket resting on his shoulders alongside a baby blue scarf loosely adorning his neck.
Finally, he held a brown umbrella as his accessory while brown dress shoes completed the ensemble.
Kyouka was dressed in a cream-colored skirt which showed her slender legs while a coffee-colored puffer jacket obscured her top.
She wore a pair of light brown tinted shades and a brown bomber hat atop her head while a Snow White scarf draped from her neck like an extended ascot.
Finally, the ensemble was completed with a pair of coffee studs in her ear, brown loafers, and baby blue socks.
As the two hit the end of the runway, they struck a pose per their coach's prior instruction, trying their best to make it as seamless as possible.
Kyouka stood in front of Izuku before tilting her head slightly back, allowing Izuku access to her neck.
The Jujutsushi then sunk his teeth lightly over her jugular, Kyouka completing the pose by framing the right side of his face while his hands draped over her hips, his eyes locked with the cameras.
The spectators went wild, cheering the duo on as the cameras capturing other aspects of the event turned to focus solely on the duo before them.
The two held the pose for a minute or so before separating and walking back toward their coach.
As they reached the end of the runway, the aforementioned man instructed them to strike an exit pose and so they did.
Kyouka turned toward the crowd and shifted her weight to her left leg adding a light lean to her stance.
Izuku stood behind her slightly to the left, his right arm draped over her right shoulder while his left arm rested across her sternum and atop the overhanging portion of his right.
The two held their pose for another minute before walking off the catwalk and into the praise of their coach.
"Holy shit."
Had 1-A not been entranced by the duo on the screen, they would have made a comment about the typically proper Momo Yaoyorozu's use of profanity.
However, right now they could do little but agree with them.
Their first pose instilled within the students a fluttering in their stomachs alongside a yearning ache they fought desperately to put down.
Once they'd managed to at least somewhat curb that feeling, the sultry look in their eyes when striking their second pose only brought it back full force.
While the majority of 1-A remained smitten at the display, one brunette couldn't help but feel vexation as her chocolate eyes shifted from the form of her boyfriend to the one of his partner, one thought plaguing her mind.
"Stay away from him."
"Ms. Atataka would like to speak with you two."
The duo looked at each other before focusing their attention on the security guards before them, the large men intent on bringing them to their employer.
Feigning apprehension, the duo followed alongside the security detail, internally eager that they were nearing the end of the exercise.
Upon reaching the fifth-floor suite, the security guards stood outside, instructing the two to enter so that they may meet with their boss.
With a firm nod, the duo twisted the doorknob and stepped inside, coming face-to-face with their target.
"Hello Ada, and Kou, it's nice to finally meet you two."
The students offered the woman a bow as their eyes surveyed the area around them.
No guards, good.
"It's nice to meet you too, Ms. Atataka."
The woman offered a light chuckle before brushing a strand of her firey orange locks behind her ear.
"No need to be so formal, Ada, please just call me Ida."
Kyouka nodded her head as the two stood from their bow, eyes locked with their unknowing target.
The room remained in silence as the ring leader offered a kind smile in an attempt to disarm them.
They allowed her to think it worked.
Relaxing their shoulders, the duo returned the woman's smile, forcing a blush on their cheeks.
"I take it you two don't know why you're up here right now."
The duo shook their head.
"No ma'am."
Ida smiled before closing the distance between the two GOLF le FLEUR* models.
"Then I'll give you a brief explanation."
Her right arm framed Izuku's jaw while her left did the same to Kyouka's, her bright yellow eyes brimming with lust as she did so.
"I run a business in which I sell cuties like you to the highest bidder. However, those downright tantalizing poses you two struck along with those cute features made me want you for myself so that's exactly what's happening."
To further punctuate her explanation, the taller woman bent down, placing a light kiss on Kyouka's lips before doing the same to Izuku.
"Actor or not, I'm going to kill that woman."
Once Ida had pulled away, she rummaged through her pocket before retrieving a phone, ready to finalize her decision.
It was then that two struck.
Kyouka wrapped her jack around the woman's arm, yanking it down and freeing the phone from her hand.
Izuku quickly followed up, leveling his revolver at the woman's head before reeling back the hammer.
"The dossier."
"I-I don't kn-"
A sharp jab from his partners Earphone Jack killed the denial in her throat before wrapping around her other arm.
Izuku pressed his pistol directly onto the woman's forehead before speaking once more.
"The dossier. Hand it over."
Exhaling deeply, the woman slowly reached into her blouse before handing over a tan folder.
Izuku dropped the folder into his shadow before tapping the butt of his pistol onto the woman's skull, knocking her unconscious.
Turning toward his partner, Izuku offered a smile before slinging their target over his shoulder and pointing toward her phone.
Understanding him instantly, Kyouka grabbed the still unlocked device before rummaging through her contacts and selecting security.
One phone call later and some careful sneaking later, the two had reached their extraction point and passed the exercise.
Once the two reached the rest of the class, they were met with cheers as most of 1-A praised their ingenuity.
Before he could respond to any of their compliments, his girlfriend hastily dragged him around a deserted corner while 1-A focused on Kyouka.
It was there that Ochako Uraraka, via a frustrated and sloppy French kiss, made one thing abundantly clear.
"You are mine."
Naruto30: I guess I get u by meaning Izuku won't get OFA. He'd be completely broken if he gets it. Literally And Figuratively too.
And since Gojo made an appearance before, will the other sorcerers (so make an appearance in his mind?
Talking about cursed techniques, Izuku an teach others to be like itadori right? No cursed technique, only raw cursed energy to use in techniques like divergent fist, black flash etc.
If I were to guess ur idea of OFA, it would be Deku gaining access to a fraction of the stockpile without becoming the ninth right?
Excellent chapter. Waiting for your next update
Ant: Not even cuz he'd be broken, I legitimately dislike stories that give Izuku OFA while giving him a cool quirk. I feel like it detracts from the point of giving him a quirk in the first place yfm?
Other Sorcerers will make visage appearances but I think its mainly gon happen toward the end.
Ion know if imma let other people use CE/CT cuz I don't think it'd really serve a purpose nor would it make sense. But that's how I feel now so ion know imma feel later yfm?
Izuku & OFA are LATE LATE I'm talm final arc late so ion wanna spoil it for yah!
TwinstarDragon: If I could do a gif on here, I would have put a smiling proud salute with tears coming down my face
Ant: Type shi.
Naruto30: Wow. Didn't expect miruko to be soo homely and stuff with him while not training. Also I don't think it will go well, the reveal of OFA to Izuku. He may even get mad and we all know to never make a 6 eyes user mad. Also it's just my opinion but if Izuku had ret there, he'd have finished his fight a whole lot quicker.
Excellent chapter. Waiting for your next update to see how Izuku being credited to stain's takedown will affect the future of this universe
Ant: I honestly fw Miruko heavy and I wholeheartedly think if she found someone she views as interesting she'd treat them as best she could word is bond.
The OFA reveal will bring up some nasty memories BUT I think All Might and Izuku have made great progress.
As for the Stain v Izuku fight if my goat Deku used Simple Domain stain woulda been cooked icl or at the very least it wouldn't have been nearly as close.
Silvanium: Seems like Rumi possibily has a thing for Izuku now.
Can't wait to see how that'll end.
Ant: I'm ngl there's a decent chance nothings gonna come from it, I just love Miruko and I WILL glaze her whenever possible.
BUUUTTTT there's not a 0% chance I do something w what I got set up romantically.
3headed-dragon: The internships are over, Izuku has learned a great deal about combat from Miruko, now has simple domain, and has even won over Miruko to the point of her wanting him as a sidekick! The Hosu incident takes place and this time Izuku is actually given permission to help so as to avoid trouble and then uses his temporary authority to get Tenya and Shoto out of trouble. An epic close-quarters fight with Stain teaches Izuku the dangers of tunnel vision during a fight while also giving him more scars for Ochako to drool over. Funny enough, Izuku unconsciously uses his very presence as The Honored One to get Tenya to fall in line.
Allmight and Gran Tirino want Izuku to have OFA?
Will Izuku accept despite his current dislike of the Pro? If he does what would happen to Izuku's cursed techniques when they're supercharged by OFA?
Would it be possible for Mei to make a blunt version of the Inverted Spear of Heaven using the same technology they use to make Quirk suppressing cuffs?
Keep up the great work.
Ant: All Might and Gran Torino not only want Izuku to have OFA but they wholeheartedly believe he's the best possible candidate point blank.
His quirk allows him to play at range, fight in close and manipulate gravity to an extent with Red and Blue. Pair that with OFA and AFO is fucking washed.
However, Izuku will NOT be accepting OFA.
Mei will continue to make Cursed Tools for Izuku whenever the original has been destroyed or lost which includes The Inverted Spear of Heaven however that will take a bit more than just quirk suppressing tech.
