Chapter 40: Balls, Balls Everywhere
The original plan for the first test was to stay close together and fight their opponents as a group. It made sense: The exercise required that you needed to take down two people with your balls, but it also gave three lives to every person in the trial, with their third and last life being the highest-priority kill. This meant that those down to their last life would be the most sought-out targets, so their fellow classmates needed to make sure to keep them safe.
If this had been a normal year, or maybe Class A had some more cutthroat students, they wouldn't care about keeping what most would consider a liability safe. In fact, Ochako was pretty sure that some of them might have backstabbed their own classmates just so they could move on to the next round. But Class A didn't operate like that, for two reasons.
One, it was an overall dick move, and two, with the League of Villains and the Paranormal Liberation Front both on the loose, they all needed their Provisional Hero Licenses, pronto. That meant no one was gonna be left behind, and that meant no splitting up. Not only would that provide them with safety in numbers, but give them sufficient firepower against everyone.
"THE FIRST TEST WILL NOW BEGIN!"
Unfortunately, plans never survive first contact.
Right from the get-go, several different schools pounced on UA, fully-aware of what sort of Quirks those students had, along with their fighting styles and weaknesses, thanks to the fact that, unlike every other school, UA's Sports Festival was broadcasted on live TV.
Thankfully, two things prevented this surprise attack from being effective: One was a warning from Shinso before the test started, having already deduced the most likely outcome that would happen (thank goodness for Eraserhead's training), and the second reason…
"Heavy Gravity… METEOR SHOWER!"
…was that those students were nothing like the ones from back at the Sports Festival.
Without even needing to touch the incoming balls, Ochako managed to send all of the projectiles hurtling down into the dirt in seconds. With their gravity increased so much, they didn't even have the momentum to do anything other than plummet straight down.
BOOM!
And as it turned out, the idea was pretty effective.
The rest of the class followed Ochako's lead, taking down any balls heading in their direction. While she may have been able to send the balls in front of her hurtling towards the earth, the other schools had surrounded the UA group in a circle, forcing the others to move.
Tokoyami sent Dark Shadow out to intercept them, Sero caught several of his own spheres with two massive strands of tape, and Ashido melted any incoming projectiles. Yaoyorozu made four massive shields to cover all four cardinal directions, so anyone who wasn't able to intercept the balls would at least be able to avoid getting hit by them, and Iida… just ran like crazy.
"We've got this, you guys!" Ochako grinned. "Show them what UA can do!"
In all honesty, Yo Shindo should have seen this coming.
Despite the fact that these UA kids were only freshmen, they clearly knew what they were doing. Sure, one could argue that grouping up only made them a bigger target, but given that everyone else would be gunning for UA, safety in numbers was definitely the way to go.
Still, that wouldn't stop him and his buddies from pelting them with plastic doom. Or rubber. Or whatever the hell these balls were actually made of – his point still stood! He, along with basically everyone else in the mountain range zone launched their balls towards the UA, and –
"Heavy Gravity… METEOR SHOWER!"
…watched the ones in front of Uravity just straight-up plummet down.
Of course. Uravity, winner of this year's Sports Festival and the girl dubbed as the "Symbol of Hope" by not just Gentle Criminal, but anyone and everyone who watched that old man's meme-infested stream, took down their round weapons like it was nothing.
There was a pretty good chance now that some of the idiots who were too close to the UA kids were now being pelted by the sudden weather forecast of raining balls, meaning that Uravity and her little friends were now one step closer to passing this exam.
"None of our attacks are landing," Makabe stated the obvious.
"We shouldn't be surprised UA won't go down without a fight," Yo replied.
"Maybe not…" the blue teen said. "It's time for our plan."
The brown-haired teen smirked. While their initial plan was the same as everyone else's, as in "hit them with everything you've got," Ketsubutsu students at least had a few extra brain cells to know when to give up and go for Plan B. And these UA kids certainly meet that criteria.
Once Makabe was done applying his Quirk to the balls, he tossed the now-hardneed projectiles to Toteki. "Try not to be jealous when I end up finishing ahead of the rest of our class," Toteki said. "But I'm sure you won't mind since I'll be reducing enemy numbers with this attack."
Yo rolled his eyes at his classmate's chuunibyou tendencies. The words were one thing since he was at least keeping them short, but did he really have to make those weird dance moves as he talked? Like, seriously, all he needed to do was throw the damn balls, and he was good!
"TARGET: LOCK ON!"
About time. Yo watched as the purple-glowing balls smashed down into the earth and began tunneling their way towards the UA kids. For as weird as Toteki was, his aim was always true. And since those projectiles were coming from underground, none of them will be able to –
BOOOOM!
That… wasn't Yo's doing. One of the UA students, that lobed girl probably, must have broken up the ground. No matter! Toteki's balls would still breach the surface! And right on time! Yo smiled as he watched the projectiles escape and head straight for the acid wielder… wait…
"MAXIMUM STRENGTH AND VISCOSITY: ACID VEIL!"
Should have seen that one coming. These guys definitely weren't the same kids he saw back at the Sports Festival. Looks like all those Villain fights they got into must have paid off. Time for Plan C. "Guys, out of the way! Their defenses are too strong right now… I'll fix that."
Kneeling down to the ground and placing his hands into the earth, Yo called upon his own Quirk. The mini-earthquake the UA girl made was impressive and all, but it was no match for Yo's Ultimate Move, he had dubbed… "MAXIMUM FORCE… TREMORING EARTH!"
BOOOOOM!
The ground broke into pieces, shook violently, and sent several Hero-wannabes flying or crashing, depending on where they were. While the first UA-made earthquake was impressive in its own right, Yo's was far superior, and at least four times larger in scale. Boo-yah.
"NOT GOOD! EVERYBODY RUN!"
"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!"
"THIS IS INSANE!"
That ought to do it, the brown-haired teen thought to himself.
There was a good chance that the other schools, UA included, would now become desperate… at least in this part of the arena. All that was now left was for Ketsubetsu to take advantage of their opponents' tunnel vision and strike when no one was looking.
His girlfriend may call him sneaky, but Yo preferred to be called tactful.
What a Quirk… Though, it seems like it would be hard to use in a city, Ochako thought to herself. Shaking her head, she examined the area around her; completely wrecked, and no one in sight. Hopefully, no one had been buried underneath all of this rubble, aside from her.
If I hadn't used Blackwhip at the last second to get the others out of the way, who knows what could have happened. Even if she didn't manage to get everyone to safety, she rested easy knowing that at least a few of her classmates were safe from the attack. But now…?
Was Ketsubutsu planning to split us up the entire time? Doesn't matter, I've got to find the others. Taking on a whole group would be a tough order, even for me, the brown-haired girl thought to herself. Looking around, she couldn't see anyone, neither friend nor foe –
BENEATH MY FEET!
Rocketing up to the air, Ochako watched as what looked like a spider web erupted from beneath the ground, sending rubble everywhere. Thanks to Danger Sense, she not only got out of the way, but she also knew that there were dozens of opponents all around her. Crap…
She could count at least eight of them looking down at her right now, balls at the ready, and many more of them arriving in a matter of seconds. Her best course of action was to get out of here. Steadying herself, she waited for Danger Sense's cue for when they would attack, and –
NOW!
Another spider web emerged from the ground, as she floated away from it, before having to twist her body in mid-air to avoid a torrent of balls flying towards her, and then having to use Blackwhip to swing herself away from a giant set of iron teeth and yet another spider web.
Gotta keep avoiding them! Ochako yelled in her mind, as she launched herself through another set of iron chompers, managing to pass them right before they bite down.
"DON'T LET HER ESCAPE!"
As more iron jaws and rubber-like tentacles tried to capture her, Ochako ducked, weaved, dodged, and ran using as much of One For All's power as she could muster.
"TAKE HER DOWN!"
Enough of this. Seeing a clearing up ahead, Ochako sprang up from where she was, sending dirt flying from behind, and propelling herself like a rocket once more. Once she landed on the ground again, she dipped her foot into the soft area of the dirt, and canceled its gravity.
Rocks and massive amounts of debris were sent flying towards her opponents, and into the makeshift mountain they were looking down at her from. If her calculations were correct…
"DAMMIT!"
"THE WHOLE MOUNTAIN –?!"
"IT'S COMING DOWN!"
"AAAAAAA–"
Looks like her calculations were correct.
Ochako sped off as she let her enemies deal with the issue of landing softly, as she skidded into one of the various crags scattered across the mountain range. She could hear the rubble slowly settle, and her opponents getting out, cursing and yelling at each other to find her…
"Well, look who came to visit."
The brown-haired girl turned around to see Shinso sharing the same hidey-hole as she was. Wait, it wasn't just him, Sero was here, too. "Never do that again. I could have hit you."
"Wouldn't Danger Sense let you know that we're friends?" Sero asked.
"I could still freak out!" Ochako whisper-yelled.
"Okay, we'll totally announce ourselves the next time we're in the middle of enemy territory," Shinso sarcastically joked. "But in all seriousness, though, we can't underestimate how much those other schools know about us. They might even know our personality quirks!"
"Maybe not that far, but I understand the sentiment," Sero said. "So, what now?"
"As much as I wish that we could meet up with the rest of our class, that might be impossible right now," Ochako said. "Right now, we've gotta focus on getting points."
Shoto summoned his ice, blocking the giant bolt that the red ninja sent towards him. A Quirk that could make things bigger. If the memory of Kodai wasn't such a sour one, he would have theorized if the two of them were related. But right now, he still had a test to pass.
After that Ketsubutsu guy scattered him and his classmates with his earthquake, Shoto managed to find himself in the industrial complex after walking across the arena for a few minutes. In all honesty, he was looking for his friends, but since he had no idea where they were, he figured it would probably be best to not wait around for them in the open.
Unfortunately, that now meant he was severely outnumbered. These guys were from Seijin High School, if their matching costumes were anything to go by, and right now, Shoto could count at least seven of them, but there could be more. He'd deal with the rest of them as soon as the red guy throwing oversized nails and bolts into his iceberg would stop for five seconds.
Peeking out from behind his frigid shield, the peppermint-haired boy used his flames to see if long-ranged attacks would work, and… it was counteracted with a torrent of water and dirt from a pair of black and blue ninjas, creating a dust cloud and blocking Shoto's vision.
Screw this, time to run.
As the iceberg behind him began to break, Shoto's brain wracked into overtime. Those ninjas would keep chasing him, and he had nowhere to hide. Even if he could, there were only so many places that they wouldn't check in an… industrial… complex… Wait a minute.
Despite all its flaws, the HPSC prioritized not just in pumping out Heroes, but also Heroes of quality. Ones that could adapt and think outside the box. In that case, they would do their hardest to make this exercise seem as realistic as possible, and since this place was an industrial complex… that meant that there could be materials found inside a real.
Such as, say, very flammable liquids inside one of the bigger containers.
It was a gamble, but it was all he had right now. The accidental smokescreen from his previous attack was still all around him, so there was a good chance those Seijin goons were actively looking for him right now. Setting fire to a nearby stop sign, he quickly pierced the container with his ice, before he climbed up to one of the nearby rooftops, and stayed quiet.
Sure enough, the Seijin creeps surrounded the flaming stop sign, thinking it was him. As they stood there dumbfounded, Shoto unleashed a torrent of flames right where his last iceberg had pierced the container, and then… everything around him was enveloped in pink.
Okay, so, I guess it wasn't the real thing, but it was close.
As the gaseous substitute cleared, Shoto quickly encased his opponents in ice, and calmly walked up to them. "Well, it looks like the Commission kept the force of the explosion from being too damaging. I apologize to you, Seijin High, but I simply cannot afford to fail."
Saiko Intelli put her tea cup back on its plate, next to her table.
It had been around twenty minutes since the start of the test, and five minutes in, she and the rest of her Seiai Academy girls had set up shop in this building. Five minutes after that, their prey had arrived. A man that could duplicate his arms, a girl who could manipulate sound, a frog, and someone who could create anything non-living. UA students, all of them.
The first part of the plan was to disable the sound user. Blasting her sensitive ears with a loud noise was sufficient, and after that, they moved on to their team's eyes. Damaging the windows via sniper shots blinded them, while also disabling any of their support items. The third phase was to send the frog into hibernation by freezing the air ducts leading to their room, but to also seal the windows and one of the doors shut, while leaving one of the doors free.
Of course, there were her minions on the other side of that door, though. Naturally.
Now all that was left was to wait. According to her calculations, the biggest problem for the UA students would be the frigid air being pumped into their room, and in order to do that, the black-haired girl would use the lipids in her body to, most likely, create clay to seal the vents. And once she's exhausted herself, then Seiai Academy could claim their prizes!
It had now been ten minutes since they were trapped in the room. Now was the time to strike. Licking her lips, Saito looked at her sycophants. "Prepare to take them, ladies."
As her lackeys prepared their Quirks and she stood up from her chair, she wondered what they would find inside, only… to hear something coming from behind those doors. At first, it sounded like the low hum of a jet engine, but it began to get louder, and louder, and… NO!
Clutching her ears, Saiko could see her girls collapse on the floor. A sonic attack! She wasn't going to fall for such a petty trick! Running towards the closed doors, she hid in the corner, and waited for the attack to pass. And after a few seconds… there was the sweet sound of silence.
The doors opened, and out came the UA students. They were too busy fawning over Saito's fallen classmates to even notice that she was behind the doors, standing in the corner.
"All right! We rocked this!"
"Now… hit their targets."
"You got it. Can you move?"
"Yeah… ribbit… I'll be okay…"
"Oh, thank goodness…"
While they were distracted, Saito grabbed the raven-haired bitch who ruined her plan, and dragged her back into the room, bolting the doors shut so her friends wouldn't intervene.
"You used your Quirk to attack, not defend," Saito hissed, throwing her to the floor. "That was a high-risk move. I can't believe a UA student would choose such a method. But because of that, you can't fight now can you? I may not pass, but I'll make sure you don't, either!"
As the Seiai Academy girl lunged at her opponent, ball in hand, the UA student created one last item: A handcuff from her wrist, trapping the two of them together. That action caused Saito to pause for a second, before she yelled, "YOU'RE STRUGGLING IN VAIN!"
THWIP!
"Huh?!" Saito couldn't feel her other hand moving. Turning around, she saw that those other three UA pests had busted down the door while she was shouting, and the frog had wrapped her tongue around the monocle-wearing girl's other wrist. "Why did you come back…?"
"It's how Class 1-A is," the raven-haired girl said. "We look out for each other."
Saito let out a mirthless chuckle at that answer. "UA sure doesn't disappoint…"
Seiji Shishikura stared at the two UA students in front of him, the blond with a black lightning bolt styling his hair, and the other one wearing a dark costume, most likely for Underground Heroics. Their red-haired comrade had already been turned into a meatball.
It was time for these two to join their friends.
"UA High… I have respect for your school," Seiji said. "I am proud to know that our institutions are seen as equals. But your class is shameful. You act in ways that disgrace Heroes!"
"Shut up! You just like to hear yourself talk, don't ya? I don't see any proof of respect," the nastier of the two blonds said. "Show us with your actions, not your cheap words, if you can!"
"Beast…" Seiji hissed. He knew who this cretin was, from voice alone. It was Bakugou, the boy who gave the student pledge for the First Year's Sports Festival. He honestly expected someone with his Quirk to be a Limelight Hero, but this costume and speech on TV spoke more of an Underground type, someone with a realistic outlook towards their society.
However, the people he associated with… Uraraka, the so-called "Symbol of Hope," something that the Villains had no right to declare on some random high-schooler, much less the rest of this society. Todoroki, the cold-hearted son of Endeavor, someone who Inasa was completely justified in hating… and then there was Kodai. Megethos. A member of the League of Villains.
How could UA let someone like that slip through, much less a Villain serving the likes of All For One? How many other problematic individuals were within the walls of such an institution like UA, that didn't even deserve to be there? That didn't deserve to be Heroes?
In Seiji's opinion, too many. Someone needed to thin their numbers.
The purple-haired teen let his Quirk transform the lower parts of his arms, sending them towards the blond duo. He had already turned their shirtless friend into a meatball, now it was their turn! Maybe they could reflect on their actions and become better Heroes in next year's exam!
"AP SHOT: AUTO-CANNON!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Damn! That explosive boy was keeping his distance, while also throwing Seiji off his balance. Not bad. This calls for a different approach. Sending his flesh flying once more, the purple-haired teen yelled, "I'LL TEACH YOU A LESSON BY BREAKING YOU!"
The Bakugou boy charged in towards the incoming flesh, destroying every piece that was coming from every direction with his explosions, before sending a massive stream of fire towards Seiji's main body. His remaining flesh was able to protect his actual body, and better yet, the Shiketsu student's gambit had paid off. "You've left yourself open."
"Ghhk! What the –?!" the explosive blond shouted, as he felt a larger piece of Seiji's flesh wrap around his neck. He struggled to try and get it off, but as Seiji knew, that it was in vain.
"I had a piece of flesh sneak beneath us," the purple-haired teen explained. "You saw what happened earlier to your friend, Kirishima, was it? Once I touch you, you're my plaything…"
"BAKUGOU!" the other blond yelled, running to his friend. Futile.
Bakugou threw something, but that was all he could do before the meat began to decompress, his upright body disappeared, before Seiji's flesh let go, leaving behind a meatball.
"Pathetic. You must be remade from scratch."
The electric blond looked ready to puke. "No way…"
How sad. It seemed that the boy was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Well, being the benevolent person that Seiji was, he decided to explain the situation to the boy.
"This is a demonstration."
"What?" The blond looked at Seiji like he was crazy.
The test has an unusually low passing rate," he explained. "At first, this seemed counterintuitive given our current world. With All Might tired, wouldn't it make more sense to flood the streets with Heroes? And so, I must assume that their goal is to weed out the riff-raff. We can surmise that they're starting to be more selective in order to bring the profession of "Hero" to a much higher level. And I agree with this way of thinking, so I decided to thin the herd myself."
"You're ignoring the test because you think you're superior?"
How stupid is this boy? Stepping down on the metaball that is Kirishima, the purple-haired teen said "I'm simply separating the mediocre from the extraordinary. By the way, your comrades here still feel pain in this form. Your untamed electricity will torture them if you use it."
The electric blond shook his head. Good, it seemed like he understood that his only option now was to lay down quietly and join his comrades. "Ugh, you've been doing nothing but hurling insults at us the entire time. I'm kinda starting to take it personally, you know…"
"How self-aware of you," Seiji said. A pity. It looked like no matter what Seiji said, this boy wouldn't get it through his thick skull. Might as well give him one last piece of advice before he joined his friends in being a meatball. "I'd take time to reflect… ON YOUR FAILURE!"
The purple-haired teen sent his flesh flying towards the electric teen, only, before they could touch him, he threw something towards Seiji's side. Wait, is that a –?!
BOOOM!
An explosion. Bakugou may have been stopped, but that thing he threw at the last minute must have been a part of his equipment. So, not only could Bakugou create nitroglycerin-like sweat from his palms, but he could also store that in little grenades and toss them. Clever…
But no matter! That was the last of Bakugou's tricks, leaving only his little friend. And given what Seiji saw at the Sports Festival, the boy could only electrify targets he touched, that meant he'd turn into a meatball faster than he could zap Seiji's body if he tried to make a sprint for it –
"Hey, big shot."
"Huh?!" Seiji looked to see that the blond was generating electricity, but… it was blue?! It looked nothing like that back at the Sports Festival! When did this happen?! What was –
PEW-ZAAAAAP!
"RAAAAAHHH!" Seiji screamed in pain, as his body and surrounding flesh was electrocuted. His legs gave away, causing him to collapse down to the road, as he stared at… that boy… No, he wasn't just any boy, not just a random nobody. What was his name again…? Kaminari…
"Listen up," Kaminari hissed. "Bakugou threw that grenade at me while being attacked; that was a result of calm judgment and planning. And Kirishima is such a good dude that he rushed into enemy territory for his friends, even though it was a totally stupid thing to do."
As the electricity died down across Seiji's body, he watched dumbfounded as Kirishima and Bakugou began to regain their human forms. I must have lost my hold on them…
"You only know bits and pieces of information about these guys…" Kaminari said, as the blue lightning in his hands charged up once again. "DON'T INSULT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW!"
Don't know?! DON'T KNOW?! Standing up, Seiji knew he had enough of Kaminari's ramblings, "I'll teach you to be more aware of your place… YOU DEGENERATE!"
WHAM!
A sharp pain hit Seiji in the gut before he even had a chance to launch his flesh towards Kaminari. Looking up, he saw that it was… Kirishima… Wait… but then, that means –
BOOOOOM!
"The more damage he takes, the more people get released."
"No wonder he was only using long-distance attacks."
Of course Bakugou's also back in action, Seiji internally groaned. As the three friends began talking to one another, the purple-haired teen could feel his consciousness fade away. Releasing his hold on the other examinees, he figured that maybe they could manage to overwhelm the three UA students, but he doubted it. Guess they have what it takes…
And then… darkness. Seiji Shishikura had been eliminated.
"THAT TARGET'S MINE!"
"Aoyama!" Tenya called out to his classmate, grabbing him by the cape.
As the younger Iida kicked another foe away the blond Frenchman said, "There are two of us, Iida. It's going to be very hard for both of us to pass this. Just leave me here!"
"What are you talking about?! Keep fighting! Class 1-A does not give up!"
"That's not what I'm doing!" Aoyama refuted that claim.
Tenya didn't have time to argue with his classmate. They were being surrounded by more opponents. Grabbing him by his cape again, Tenya made a run for it with Aoyama. They were gonna get destroyed if they stayed, they had to keep moving, hoping that they could –
"Huh?" He couldn't feel Aoyama's hand anymore.
Looking back, Tenya could see that his classmate had let go, and was now laying down on the dirt. What? Didn't he just say that he wasn't giving up?! What was he doing –?!
BREEAM-POW!
"Are you out of your mind?!" Tenya yelled. Why the hell was Aoyama sending a laser up into the sky! That would attract every single opponent in the arena. "Seriously, what are you doing?!"
"I'm standing out," Aoyama calmly said.
"Yes, you are! That's exactly the problem!"
"If you try to protect me, you'll fail the test. I've already got two of my targets hit, and they'll be swarming me soon! You'll have a much better chance without me!" the blond Frenchman exclaimed. "Please, let me do this for you! While I've got the spotlight, you can sneak up on the people who come after me! With your speed, you should be able to hit their targets!"
This was Aoyama's plan?! To use himself as bait?!
"OUR ENEMIES WILL BE HERE SOON! GET READY!"
Tenya looked up to see that Aoyama was right. He could see rival students, dozens of them, all charging towards them. There was no way he would be able to grab Aoyama and leave now. What should he do? Leave his friend and respect his wish? It felt so wrong, but…
"WHAT ARE THOSE?!"
The younger Iida brother snapped out of his thoughts as he saw a swarm of pigeons begin harassing their competitors. Only one person could do this. This is… Koda!
Two massive arms came out of nowhere and began tossing around their enemies. Tokoyami! Those who were left standing were taken down by a martial artist and their tail. Ojiro! An explosion of light blinded those who remained. Hagakure! And it wasn't just them…
While Sato was tossing his opponents around with his sugar crystals, Ashido was defending him with her acid. "Everything was going nuts in the final minutes! We couldn't tell who was friend or foe, but then we spotted your laser and we knew we'd be able to meet up! We can do this!"
As Aoyama got up and ran, Tenya couldn't help but smile underneath his helmet, and ran alongside him, into the fray. "Aoyama… this was your doing... THANK YOU!"
All of Class 1-A had passed the first test.
And with that, the easy part was over.
Melissa sighed as she watched Shishikura's name get removed from the roster. She honestly didn't think he would go and pick a fight with UA, least of all with the likes of Bakugou.
Oh, well. That would make her job easier, at least. The blonde girl made sure none of the teachers in the bleachers were looking in her direction, before she pulled out a couple of the bracelets she made back at the Shiketsu support labs. It paid to be prepared, after all.
Hmm… Melissa wondered. I wonder how my gadgets would fare against Uravity…?
Author's Note: I'm honestly surprised no one commented on the fact that Aizawa would have shanked a student if it wasn't for Joke's interference in the last chapter.
So far, everything is going similar to canon, with the exception that more Villains are present at the exam. But I promise you that the next chapter is going to take a turn for the worse. Well, for our characters, that is. I'm sure you're all going to enjoy it. But for now…
DevilJoker: Hope you had fun reading this!
EmilMobile: Funnily enough, I wasn't planning on having that last part with "Camie" in the chapter. That was just a last-minute addition I did to pad the chapter's length. I was more concerned with the Ms. Joke part, since I thought some people would say it didn't think it would make for Ketsubutsu to call her back for this sort of thing, but thanks for telling me that it was an actual possibility. Now I have one more thing to worry about when I finally enter the workforce. Hope the exam arc is to your liking!
Tminor: Uraraka's (along with everyone's) internal commentary has always been a major part of these stories, and I'm especially glad that you enjoyed the more humorous aspects of them. Enjoy them while you can, because things only go downhill from here.
Tjrz: You know, my buddy Infinite has a similar idea when it comes to Twice clones and the Quirks they have in them. His question was whether the Quirks of the clones could be stolen, and while I decided to go with "no," I'm fairly certain that your idea would be a "yes," from me, given that Nomus (even if they are only those with single Quirks) are capable of being copied in canon. Plus, the only requirements we have so far for Double are the proportions and other exact measurements, so, I think multi-Quirk wielders (provided that Twice examined them after getting their extra Quirks) are fair game.
And now, it's back to the regular old shilling…
