Notes: Phew! back to it once again! hoping this story is as good as i hope it is. enjoy!

Stretching his arms out, Tensei popped his shoulders as he slowly rolled out of bed. He didn't even bother setting his alarm this morning, knowing he had the day off. He made his way out of his bedroom, groaning as he rubbed his neck He then looked up to surprise at Katara sitting at the kitchen table, her nose buried into her phone. He couldn't help but chuckle at sight.

"So you have become more normalized."

She yelped in surprise at the sudden voice to her right, her eyes softening when she saw him. "Sorry, was a bit distracted. I thought you were already at work."

"I have the day off, but I need to do research into some recent cases."

She looked up curiously at hearing that. "New cases? Did something happen?"

Tensei felt his face tense up at the question, something she obviously caught onto. "Oh… I shouldn't pry into your-

"No it's not your fault…" Tensei responded with a soft smile, "… It's just this one is a little more serious than a simple robbery. I don't feel too comfortable talking about this one."

Katara suddenly felt a bit on edge to his choice to hold back. Most things he dealt with at work he was completely open to, talking about what kind of villains he dealt with or the severity of the crimes. Even assault cases he would talk to her and Tenya about. But for him not want to explain this one, she figured it must have been pretty serious.

"Okay, no problem. You don't need to talk about it." She answered.

He smiled and walked over to the fridge. "So, I got home late last night so I couldn't talk much. How did your first day go?"

"It actually went good. We did a quirk test to see how well we compared to the others."

He raised an eyebrow at what she said. "And you did well with your… quirk?"

She rolled her eyes at his sarcasm. "Yes, my 'quirk' worked well. I actually placed fourth."

"Oh? Impressive!" he happily responded. "I knew you would do well. What about Tenya?"

"He did really good too. He got fifth."

Tensei smirked at her. "You beat him?"

Katara gave a small shrug. "I mean as an average. He outdid me in several different things though."

The elder Iida simply turned and grabbed the milk out of the fridge. 'Seems like Tenya has a little competition.' he chimed internally, pouring himself a glass. He turned back and looked back to her phone on the table. "So you figure that thing out yet?"

The waterbender rubbed her head. "Uh… not really. I was looking at different things like messaging and stuff. I'm going to make sure I know what I'm doing before I just send a… oh a text, I think?"

Tensei laughed at her lack of knowledge, in fact feeling a bit jealous. "I have to say, I wish more teens didn't know how to use phones like you. That means they actually need to talk to people."

A knock on the door alerted both of them. "Katara, we must get going if we are to make it on time!" Tenya yelled from the other side.

Looking down to her annoyed face, Tensei just sipped his milk. "Hey, you have to deal with his punctual timing now."

"Yeah, I figured that…" Katara chuckled and slipped her backpack on. "… I'll see you later."

"Bye." Tensei watched as she opened the door and exited his place, leaving him alone. Knowing what he had to do now, he let out a deep sigh and rubbed his forehead for a few moments. "No time to waste on this one." he said to himself.

He walked into his office, sitting in front of his computer and opened up the document he had downloaded late last night. The next moment, a gruesome image of blood sprayed across the ground in a dirty alleyway. In the center of the crimson puddle laid the body of a young man, his white and black costume torn in several spots and a deep puncture into his chest. Tensei felt a sick feeling in his stomach as he looked at the corpse, his eyes diverted to the caption below.

Pro hero Banshee slain in Fuketsu. Body discovered after midnight.

"This is the third attack recently…" Tensei growled as his hand tightened on the mouse. "… His crimes have been increasing lately."

He opened up a map of Japan, looking at the location of the latest victimized hero and saw they were getting closer towards Tokyo. His eyes focused in a tight glare as he looked back to the dead body above.

"Where are you, hero killer?"

Making their way down the station steps, Katara and Tenya passed by other students as they all walked towards their destination.

"So another day at hero school." Katara said with a smile. "They made us test out our abilities yesterday, so now I am curious on what they will make us do now."

"I agree. I usually am always updated on what form of curriculum we would be studying, but UA doesn't advertise their schedule online like normal schools. They only allow those inside during school hours to see the classes." Tenya rambled out.

Katara looked back forward at the incoming school. "Well I guess we are about to find out."

"Wow… Did not expect this." Katara groaned as she listened to Present Mic going over different forms of grammar.

"Alright, now which is the correct punctuation to use in a sentence that shows excitement?" The yellow haired teacher read out to the bored class, with only Tenya and Momo actively responding on most occasions.

Leaning on her hand, Katara took a deep yawn as she struggled to stay awake. She figured school would have done some basic things like Tenya had been teaching her, but she assumed being a hero school would have been… well, all about heroes. She let her eyes wander around, looking at the other students struggling to keep their heads from falling over. She then glanced over to her left, and felt her hair stand on end when she was met with Todoroki staring at her from the corner of his eye.

Their eyes held for what felt like a minute, neither breaking as they locked gaze. Katara swallowed as she tried figuring why. The moment she came in class earlier, she did notice him immediately look straight at her from the back of the class. When she made her way to her seat, he never said a word, instead looked ahead and never paid a second glance.

Until now.

She sat silent for a moment before figuring to break the silence. "I guess we can't always be training, huh?" She chuckled, hoping to get some kind of response.

Yet nothing came.

Her smile faded as he continued staring at her a few more seconds before he shifted his gaze back forward. She frowned at the action, getting off her hand and leaning towards him. "Hey, you could at least be polite and say something." she whispered.

"What good would that do for me?" Shoto coldly responded, not even looking her way.

"what?" She hissed at him, shocked by his answer, "What's your problem? I haven't even said anything to you really."

Shoto sat silent for a moment as his eyes shifted back towards her, the image on his computer flashing in his mind once more. He took in every detail of her face, and he was now for certain it was her. His sharp gaze looked away as his fist clenched. "You should just focus on yourself. Don't let yourself get distracted."

Katara glared and sat up more. "What's that supposed to mean? What are you-

"Shh!" Uraraka whispered as loud as she could to the right, "If you keep talking, you'll get in trouble!"

Katara wanted to figure out his deal, but she sat back in her chair and crossed her arms. She huffed out and went back to looking at the teacher giving his lecture.

Peering out of the corner of his eye at the girl next to him, his gaze dropping down to his left hand. 'I don't know what really happened that night back then with my father…' Shoto growled internally, '… But I will be the one to beat you here, Katara.'

Later in the day, Katara walked along with the others as they made their way into the large cafeteria. Hundreds of other students lined up as they grabbed food from the counter, taking their trays over to the many tables lined inside the massive hall. She looked around for a moment before she found Tenya at a table already seated. She walked over and sat next to him just before Midoriya and Uraraka joined as well.

"So, we have survived our first class of UA. Lets enjoy a good lunch!" Uraraka cheered as she reached for her beef and rice bowl.

"Yeah, let's eat…" Katara quietly responded as she grabbed her chopsticks, her tone going noticed by the others.

"Is something bothering you, Katara?" Tenya asked.

She shook her head and took a bite of her rice, but was caught off guard as Uraraka's hand nudged her shoulder. She quickly swallowed and looked back to the gravity user. "What's up?"

"Uh I should ask you. You've been glaring at your rice the whole time." Uraraka responded.

Katara blushed slightly and sat back. "No I haven't!"

"Y-yeah you have been…" Midoriya added, "...I thought the food didn't look go to you."

Seeing all of them stare at her, Katara took a breath and rubbed her head. "Sorry it's just… that I wasn't comfortable with."

"Well literature is a very important class for everyone though…" Tenya happily exclaimed, "… If you want to learn how to properly write out documents and-

"No I'm not talking about the class itself." She waved him off, reaching over and talking a drink of her water. "I just felt… does that Todoroki hate me for some reason?"

Tenya tilted his head in confusion. "What do you mean? Did he say something rude to you?"

"No, not really. But… I don't know." Katara sighed and scratched her head. "I've barely said anything to him and he almost seems annoyed when I do. Yet he is always glaring at me for some reason."

"Well, m-maybe he is just a little intimidated…" midoriya said to the side. "You were close to him in the tests, and you scored top in the entrance exam."

"Intimidated?" She questioned him, "those are just tests. That shouldn't make him act like that though." She grunted and took another bite of her food.

"Aw it's only the second day of school. He may warm up to you." Uraraka added her positivity to the table. "And besides, next class should be more interesting."

Sighing, Katara continued to eat her meal, somewhat regretting saying what was on her mind. She made it seem like it was a question she didn't understand, but in her mind she had a guess to what was happening. Her mind went back to that encounter she had after the entrance exams and to what that man had said to her.

'Maybe you did tell your son about me…' she growled thinking of the flame hero, '...I bet you did want him to come after me.'

"I am here! Coming through the door like a hero!"

Katara along with the entire class gasped in excitement as the All Might burst through the open door, her eyes locked onto the man as he marched his way into the room. She had seen him many times on tv, but to see him in person was something else. First off, he was absolutely huge! He was by far the largest man she had ever seen, his bulging muscles seemingly ready to tear through the colorful outfit he had on.

Then of course, his never ending smile seemed to radiate a warm energy among the class that she couldn't help but smile in return as he stood proudly in front of the others.

"Now all of you may be curious to what we are doing now…" All Might questioned all of them, "I am not one to give lessons on normal class topics like history. I am here to teach the basics of being a pro! And today's lesson will pull no punches!"

"Pull no punches? What do you mean?" Kaminari asked.

"Today, we will be doing battle training!"

Many of the students gasped in shock to hearing they would actually be fighting, where a few like Bakugo grinned in enthusiasm to the idea. Katara herself glanced over to her right and noticed Todoroki staring at her once again, his eyes filled with a determination she hadn't seen in quite some time. Her own gaze hardened as she thought of the idea of having to go against him.

"But that's not all. One of the keys to being a hero is…" All Might's hand held a small remote and he pointed towards the wall, his smirk turning back to the students. "… Looking good!"

After he clicked the remote, multiple racks slid out from the wall revealing twenty different cases. Each one was numbered to the corresponding seat in the class, causing more shouts of excitement from the others.

"Oh wow, that means our costumes are done!" Uraraka cheered as she spotted her number.

"Now let's get you all suited up!"

Inside their locker room, the seven girls of class 1-A changed into the costumes that they were given. Tsu chirped happily as she slipped into her green latex body suit. "I really am liking this so far. Ribbit. This suit is made perfectly for me."

Katara smiled as she watched the frog girl slip on her goggles on top of her head. "You look like you're ready to go diving. It matches you."

"I know, right?" Tsu croaked while adjusting her large gloves.

Slipping her jacket off, Katara looked around at the others changing. Uraraka had her own tight latex suit on and her helmet sitting to the side. Jiro's seemed basic enough with a leather jacket and basic pants, other than the strange boots she slipped on her feet. Mina's cororful outfit stood out as well with her fur topped yellow vest. Momo's also stood out… well, since it left little to the imagination. She then turned to see Toru-

"Wait…" Katara felt her mouth open when she saw a small pair of gloves floating in the air, only accompanied by a pair of shifting boots. "You really did go with that idea we mentioned!?"

"Well I always knew I would be a good sneak hero, so I figured go with it when I registered my costume design." the floating glove gave a thumbs up. "Now I'll sneak passed anything!"

Giggling to herself, Katara looked down to her own numbered suitcase and opened it up, the contents inside bringing a smile to her face. Jiro noticed the grin and peeked over her shoulder into the case, her eyebrow raising when she saw what was there. "Wait, is that a hero course work? It looks more like it was handmade."

"It is. It says you can bring your own outfit if you want to." Katara answered, slipping out of the rest of her school uniform.

Momo leaned closer as the other girls chatted. "You brought your own outfit? How come you didn't have the school design you something?" She questioned, her own eyes peeking to the contents.

"I know, but this is different…" Katara paused as she reached into the case, a warm feeling running through her body as she held up her water tribe robes. "… This has more meaning than a fancy looking costume. This is something really special to me."

"Aw is that an outfit from where you came from?" Mina bounced over and looked at the blue robes being held in the waterbender's hands. "That's so sweet."

Katara smiled and stood up. "Yes it is."

Standing outside the tunnel leading to the testing grounds, All Might's grin grew as he watched the twenty future heroes walk into the light. Their grand outfits shined in the sun, almost causing a blinding glow to overtake the street.

"Now look at you all! You truly do look like future pros!" he triumphantly declared as they all lined in front of him. "You all look so cool! Now let's get going you newbies!"

Looking around herself, Katara glanced at the other students new looks and had was taken back by how catching they were. She didn't want to say it, but even Bakugo's definitely was an eye opener as he walked by her, his wide grin almost beaming with excitement. She then saw one towards the front that made her double take before realizing who it was. "Iida? Wow now that looks familiar."

Tenya turned towards her, his white armor looking near identical to his older brothers design. Even through his covered face she could feel the massive smile reach her. "Katara, I see you have kept your old robes from when you first came here."

"Yeah, I couldn't ever get rid of these. Besides, these are what I grew up with and the most comfortable."

"That is very wise, but I am surprised you didn't request some addition to your outfit. But if that is what you want then all the power to you."

As the other students chatted with each other, Todoroki glared through the crowd towards the waterbender, her blue robes identical to the photo that was burned into his mind. His right fist emitted out a wave of frost, his blood running faster as he scowled. 'You even wear the same outfit you did from then… either you are pretty stupid at hiding, or are that confident in yourself.' He hissed inside, hoping for the chance to finally challenge her.

Standing at attention to the gathered students, All might was ready to continue. "Now that you are all here, it is time to explain what is going on. In most cases on the news you see heroes battling villains outside in the city. More times however, battles are taken place indoors instead, that is where today's lesson comes in. We will be doing two versus two mock battles!"

Tsu touched her chin in surprise to the reveal. "Isn't that a little advanced for our first testing?"

"Nonsese! In combat you must adapt to situations when it calls. While the entrance exam breaking bots was one thing, but now you are up against real people."

"Excuse me, but question…" Iida interrupted his speech, "But are we being split by random or skill?"

"Are we graded on performance?" Momo chimed in.

"How much can we hurt the other team?" Bakugo growled.

"Isn't my cape magnifico!?" A sparkling Aoyama yelled to the class.

"WAY TOO MANY QUESTIONS!" the top pro yelled out in annoyance, his brain overloaded from the kids. "I shall explain… The villain team will locate ⁰a mock bomb somewhere in the location. You are to defend your stronghold from the two heroes coming to stop you. Either the heroes capture both villains or the bomb and they win, or the villains capture the heroes or time has run out and they win. Now, all of you come and draw to see what your teams will be."

Seeing the bucket in front of them, each student came and grabbed a random folded ticket. They never opened it and handed it to All Might, the brawny man reading it himself before jotting down the information, after a few minutes they were done, and he stood back up.

"Now that you have all drawn your tickets, here are the results!" He flipped around the chart to the students to read.

Team A: Midoriya and Uraraka

TeamB: Shoji and Todoroki

Team C: Mineta and Yaoyorozu

Team D: Bakugo and Iida

Team E: Ashido and Aoyama

Team F: Koda and Sero

Team G: Kaminari and Jiro

Team H: Asui and Tokoyami

Team I: Ojiro and Harugake

Team J: Katara and Kirishima

"Team J, huh?" Katara said as she saw the list created.

"Hey, looks like we are a pair!"

Hearing the voice behind her, Katara turned and looked at Kirishima coming her way. His new getup was going practically shirtless other than black sleeves and red shoulder pads along with his face wire guard. She smirked as he approached. "Yeah, it seems we are. You trying to show off not wearing a shirt?"

"Hey, a real man isn't afraid to show himself to the world." He grinned and clenched his fist. "Now I'm curious who we are gonna face off against."

Hearing that made Katara's smile fade, looking back around to Todoroki. His left side was now covered completely in ice, but she could tell through that glass covered red eye he was looking right at her. "Yeah… I wonder who." she mumbled before turning back to the front to their instructor.

"Now all of you…" All Might declared as he dug his hands into two different buckets, the left labeled villain and the right hero, "… the first to be battling will be… these guys!"

Team's D and A.

Both Midoriya and Bakugo gasped out loud to the twist of fate that they would be facing each other, their eyes locking in a split second and sending a tense filled pulse through the air.

"Finally, I get to crush you, Deku…" Bakugo growled as he hissed through his teeth. "...Get ready, you little bastard."

Katara was too distracted by the tense stare down between the two rivals that she nearly forgot that Iida was up next until he walked passed her. "Oh, hey… good luck out there." She called out.

"Thank you. I'll do my best." he responded before walking towards the training building.

Her eyes went back towards Bakugo, the fuming bomb boy stomping passed his opponents as they both watched him in caution. Katara felt sick seeing him scare them that much, looking to the other two combatants with a smile. "Good luck to both of you, too." she waved before turning and following the other students into the large media room nearby.

All of the observing students stood behind All Might as the massive screen flipped on, revealing several different smaller pictures. Each image was focused on one of the four combatants to allow everyone a view of the action. Katara walked up and stood next to Mina eyeing Iida and Bakugo discussing something in the bomb room. The monitors unfortunately did not give sound so none of the spectators could hear what they were saying, but whatever it was that Bakugo seemed furious before storming off down the hallway towards the entrance again.

"He's not even going to work with Iida it seems…" Katara groaned as she watched her friend trying to call his partner back.

Mina nodded in agreement. "Yeah, he's like a lone wolf."

Seeing the chatter, All Might adjusted the earpiece he had giving him access to the speakers set up in the testing room. He could hear Bakugo cursing to himself as he walked.

"Alright Deku, you've been holding out this quirk on me? You think you are better than me!?"

The top hero watched intently as the angry blonde made his way closer to the two hero kids heading into the building. 'Young Midoriya did say that Bakugo was always confident in himself… but something seems different here.' he whispered inside.

A few moments later the class watched as Bakugo burst around a corner and went straight for both Midoriya and Uraraka, his hands glowing bright. Katara gasped as a large explosion overtook the monitor. "Did he get them!?"

"I'm not sure… the smoke is too thick." Tokoyami responded, his eyes trying to see the others.

The other screen showed they did make it out, but now some of Midoriya's outfit was blown off. He sent Uraraka off as he faced off against his childhood schoolmate alone. The furious blonde rushed forward again, but to everyone's surprise the timid Izuku preformed a perfect counter and flipped the other and slammed him down.

"Woah, check that out, sweet move!" Kirishima yelled out in excitement.

Once again, Bakugo got up and charged forward, and Izuku was able to counter once more. Katara smiled as she watched him move. "He knows how to read others movements, giving him a good defense at least."

"Yeah, but that Bakugo doesn't seem like one to let that continue…" the large multi armed Shoji added. "… I don't think Midoriya will be able to keep up that for long."

Sure enough, the next moment Bakugo's speed seemed to increase as his attacks came more frequently. Seeing himself outmatched, Midoriya quickly took off down the hall out of sight and around the corner. Bakugo tried chasing him but lost track of his target, leaving the explosion user screaming in frustration. The sight gave All Might a strange feeling in his stomach.

'Midoriya said that Bakugo thought highly of himself, but this…' he paused as he watched the blonde breaking down every door trying to find his prey, '… this level of pride is something else. There's more going on here that is making this happen.'

Looking at the other monitors, Katara watched as Iida quickly shifted everything around the room he was in until no other items besides the large mock bomb remaining. The other monitor showed Uraraka coming around the corner, peeking her head out to see Iida guarding the bomb. It seemed Iida was deep in thought of his situation, looking up to the ceiling as he started… what appeared to be fake laughing to himself?

'Please tell me he isn't actually playing a villain role…' she groaned inside watching him clench his fist and hold it in the air above him. Uraraka must have heard it herself, because she suddenly burst out laughing at the armored teens actions.

Seeing the action made Momo sigh. "She had the perfect opportunity to sneak in there, and she let her guard down so foolishly."

"Yeah… but knowing Iida I'd be hard for me not to laugh at him trying to act evil." Katara chuckled out.

The next moment, the other screens were lit up from another powerful blast as Midoriya jumped out of the way of a shot to the head. Everyone… including katara to her own surprise, were more drawn into this half of the battle than the one with her own friend. Something about these two was much more than a simple fight. It was something personal.

While many didn't know what has going to happen, All Might felt a cold chill as he watched the gauntlet extend out, and a single pin about to be pulled. "Bakugo. Don't do it! You'll kill him!"

"He'll be fine as long as he dodges!"

Click.

A massive explosion blasted out of Bakugo's gauntlet and rushed down the hallway. Concrete and stone ripped away as the blast tore through everything and tore through the other side of the building. Even the monitor room with the rest of the class shook from the large blast. Katara stumbled backwards as she stared in horror to the powerful blast that rivaled even Combustion man's power back in her world. She remembered how insane that hunter's power was to deal with, but it seemed like this teen could match that here.

"Are you serious!? He was trying to kill him there!" Katara screamed out as she tried to find her new friend on the screen, looking for the mop of green through the smoke.

"What kind of move is that thing? That's crazy!"Sero yelled as he stood back from the crowd.

Eventually, the smoke dissipated on screen revealing Midoriya with more of his outfit blown off. Kirishima whistled seeing him okay, looking up to their silent teacher. "Sir, don't you think this is getting out of hand?"

All Might himself was thinking the same thing. For Bakugo to do something so powerful at that range would have been serious damage or worse if it had hit. He should stop this fight then and there, but what Bakugo had said just moments before caught his attention.

'Despite his fierce intent… he's not actually trying to Kill young Midoriya. But still…' He brought the Mic to his mouth and turned it on.

"Bakugo, use that technique again and I'll end this match. Your team will lose. To use something so reckless indoors and destroy the place you are defending is a fools move, whether you are a hero or a villain!"

"What? You aren't going to stop this?" Katara questioned the pro, "He's being too dangerous."

While he didn't say it out loud, All might was thinking the same thing, but his heart wanted to see Midoriya push through somehow.

On the screen, an obviosuly frustrated Bakugo rushed once more and leaped towards his target. Midoriya attempted to punch forward, but in a fluid motion Bakugo released a blast forward to distract Izuku. At the same time the blast pushed him through the air to his opponents back, giving him a perfect and clear shot to behind. Most of the class began gasping as the watched Midoriya scream in pain from the heated explosion. Todoroki however focused his sight on the screen.

"He doesn't look like a thinker, but he is actually really intelligent." He stated as Bakugo blasted behind himself again to increase his speed.

Katara watched helplessly as Midoriya was hit once more by the heavy gauntlets, then grabbed and spun around before being slammed into the stone. Her fist clenched in anger as she watched Midoriya's eyes go blank for a moment. "He's toying with him now…" she growled.

Mina clutched her mouth as she stared as well. "This is getting hard to watch. He just has to capture him, not kill him!"

"Bakugo certainly is acting like a villain…" Tokoyami added.

"I don't know what else Midoriya can do. He's completely outmatched here." Kaminari stated bluntly.

While she didn't want to agree, Katara couldn't help but watch the way Bakugo moved between his actions. The way his body reacted on instinct, not to mention his raw power and his quirk. When it came to fighting, he wasn't just better than most; he was a gifted natural when it came to combat. She knew well enough to recognize that. And she could see Bakugo was enjoying what he was doing to the poor boy being tossed around.

"He's not trying to win this. He's simply trying to hurt him." She yelled out and turned to their teacher. "Why aren't you stopping this?" She could see All Might's body slightly trembling in anger to the sight he was watching with all of them. Why he wasn't trying to disqualify Bakugo was beyond herself.

"Sir!" She yelled out trying to get his attention. Frowning when he didn't turn her way, she looked back to the monitors as Midoriya faced Bakugo from across the destroyed room they stood in. To her surprise however, Midoriya's face had changed from what it was before, no longer carrying the look of caution and slight fear from earlier in the match. Now, nothing but pure determination was what he wore, his eyes locked on his foe as they both charged each other at once. This time, Midoriya's right arm seemingly began glowing as he brought it back ready to strike, and Bakugo's hand sparked out another incoming blast.

The sight was too much for some of the other students afraid that it wasn't going to end well.

"This is bad, they are going to kill each other! You gotta stop this!" Kirishima yelled out in fear.

Finally it had become too much for the hero to watch, bringing the mic up again. "Both of you stop this-

"Uraraka, now!"

All Might stopped when he heard Midoriya yell something through his own mic to his teammate, the gravity girl suddenly gripping onto the piling to her side. The moment before the two collided, Midoriya switched his punch and thrust it upwards above, the immense pressure shattering the floors going up all the way to the roof and out. Katara's mouth dropped as the immense shockwave was felt in their room as well, watching the concrete fly upwards just from the wind gust being created by the punch.

The upper floor where the other two were was also blown apart, giving Uraraka the chance to lighten the pillar she was holding and swing it like a bat, hitting dozens of rubble pieces towards Iida. With him distracted, she quickly leaped through the air and landed on the bomb, and landing to victory for her team.

"Wait… they won." Kaminari mumbled in shock to the sudden change in events.

All Might himself watched as the smoke cleared on the monitor where is protégé was, his heart sinking when he saw the horrible burns and the broken arm of the young boy. The pain became too much, and Midoriya collapsed to the floor in front of the shocked Bakugo. While it hurt to see, it was over. He had won. Midoriya had won.

"The... The hero team... Wins!"

After the mock battle and Midoriya was taken to the infirmary, the other three students made their way into the media room with the rest of the class. Seeing Iida's disappointed look made Katara feel sorry for him, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Hey, that was a good match. You did good." she tried comforting him, only to get a sigh in return.

"I was a failure at protecting my goal. I should be ashamed." he sulked out, looking over to Uraraka standing there. "Your finishing move was very impressive and it distracted me enough."

"Well I got kinda lucky…" Uraraka chuckled and rubbed her head. "… If Deku hadn't pulled that off I would have been toast against Iida alone."

Katara shook her head in disagreement, "Well the big drawback that changed everything was your situation, Iida. For you, you had to work alone." She paused as she saw Bakugo sulking into the room and standing in the back alone, glaring at the violent boy. "You had a horrible partner to work with."

Bakugo heard her remark, but the utter shock from the match was too much for him to even look up to her. His eyes stared at the ground as he replayed the last moment over and over again, still unsure how this had happened. His teeth grinded as he breathed heavily.

"How the fuck…" he hissed to himself, clenching his fists so hard he lost feeling in his fingers. "… how did this all happen? When did you pass me, Deku!?"

Walking back to the front of the class, All Might stood at attention and held his finger up. "Alright, now that the battle is over, who was the one who acted the best for their roles?"

Katara was about to speak her mind before Yaoyorozu raised her hand up and began.

"Sir, although the heroes won this battle, they took too many risks overall. Midoriya's attack was effective, yes, but the damage it caused was too much and could have destroyed the weapon. Uraraka also cost her surprise attack by being distracted, and her final attack was too reckless if this were real. Now to Bakugo, he abandoned his teammate to go off on his own, and his attack destroyed the base he was protecting. The one who stood out the most was Iida, for he took the responsible approach and kept to his position the whole time."

…

…

"Eh… y-yes, precisely!" All Might stuttered in surprise to the girls in depth analysis.

Katara was surprised as well, not able to say anything about Iida herself. She looked over to him, she nearly burst out laughing as she watched him almost cry in glee to the praise.

"Don't wet yourself in there, that may rust your armor." She teased as he clutched his chest.

"I cannot express my gratitude any more than I am showing…" Tenya sniffled as he stood tall.

Chuckling, Katara leaned towards Momo and whispered. "Don't give him too much praise. He may never let it go."

Giggling at his response to her praise, Yaoyorozu just shrugged her shoulders. "I just tell it as I see it. Learning from your previous battles is how to better prepare yourself later."

A certain purple ball boy grinned as he stood behind the two ladies, his eyes locked onto the short yellow skirt of the black haired girl. "You can give all the lectures you want my way."

"Stare at my ass one more time, and I'll shove my foot up yours." the creationist hissed out, not having to look behind her as he shivered.

"That was a very good learning experience for you all…" All Might declared as his hands reached into the two boxes again. "Now the next teams to battle will be… These two!"

"J?" Katara's eyes widened when she saw her team called. She was a little annoyed she was the chosen villain but figured it was just a test. Her gaze shifted to the other ball and felt her heart rate jump when she saw the other letter.

"H." she whispered, looking to her right at the two that she would be facing. Both hers and Kirishima's eyes met for a moment as they both turned back to their opponents.

"Man, this is gonna be a fun one." Kirishima chuckled as he locked eyes with Tsu and Tokoyami.

Notes: And here we…. Go! Katara about to go at it with Kirishima against two tough ones. Going to be a fun match!

Sorry folks… a battle with Todoroki will have to wait.
