Chapter 13.
Combat Training.
A new day has come, and class 1-a was having their morning lessons, right they were having English classes with Present Mic.
- "Well. Among the following sentences, which one has an error?"- Asked Present Mic.
- "So normal."- Most of the class thought.
- "This is f*ucking boring"- You know who thought that.
- "It must be the fourth. You have the relative pronoun in the wrong place."- Izumi thought.
- "Man, I love school, I never thought I would be able to learn a lot of new stuff here." – Yamikumo thought enjoying the new knowledge he acquired.
After the morning lessons, in the afternoon, it is lunch time, it is first class food at low prices in the large dining room.
- "White rice is one of the best foods in the world."- Said the chef who was the pro hero Lunchrush.
- "It's the cook hero Lunchrush!"- Thought Izumi.
- "So, since when do you know each other? You two seem quite inseparable."- Asked Uraraka to Yamikumo and Kinoko.
- "We met three years ago, and we've been friends since."- Answered Kinoko while Yamikumo was just listening.
- "That's so cute, are you a together?"- Asked Uraraka.
- "W-what? N-no, we are just friends"- Said Kinoko with a red face.
Meanwhile Yamikumo thought about what Uararaka said – "True, we are friends, but I'm not against that idea either. She is the person I trust the most."-
- "By the way, Atanagi-kun, I've noticed your scars in your face, are those the reasons of you having two eye colors?" – Asked Uararaka.
- "Uraraka-san! You can't ask such questions; it can be a sensitive topic for him!"- Scolded Iida.
- "That's fine, if you really want to know, all I have to say is that it was in an accident and yes, I lost my left eye and I had it replaced it in a surgery."-
- "I'm so sorry"-
- "It's okay, I don't really mind, I guess this is a part of who I am, and I accept it."-
- "That's an interesting view"- Said Iida.
- "He suffered and learned with that, he accepted it and move forwards, he is so awesome"- Thought Izumi.
After finishing the lunch, it was the moment everyone was waiting for, the basic study for heroes.
- "I am…!"-
- "He is here!"-
- "Coming through the door like a normal person!" – Said, more like screamed, All Might standing at the door in a weird pose.
- "That's not really normal"- Thought Yamikumo with a deadpan face.
- "All Might! Is he really a teacher?!"-
- "He is wearing his silver age costume. This is so awesome!" –
- "This is the heroics class! Here we will do various practices to build the foundations of a hero!" – Said All Might while doing some heroic poses. – "It might seem too fast, but today we are doing… COMBAT TRAINING!" – He said while pulling a card with the word BATTLE written in it.
- "Combat Training! / Combat training?"- Bakugo and Izumi thought at the same time, one more excited than the other.
- "And with that, we also have those."- All Might pushed a button and from the wall a lot of briefcases emerged. – "Ordened according to the report of their quirks and the application they received before entering the school... YOUR HERP COSTUMES!"-
Everyone stands up and grabs their respective briefcase.
- "When you've changed your clothes, gather at the beta training ground." –
…
…
…
Beta Training Ground.
- "Boys and girls. It is important to start training from your appearance! Thus, you will be aware of yourself! From today you are... HEROES!"-
Everyone stepped in the room, dressed in their respective hero costumes.
Yamikumo stepped out with the rest of his classmates, at the beginning he wanted to use his vigilante costume as his hero costume, but then he thought about it, after being accepted into UA he had access to better resources to make his costume, so he decided to take advantage and request a better costume with more protection and more practical for a hero.
His costume was a black full-body suit and black boots, he had a grey and dark green utility belt with some first aid supplies, he also had grey and dark green armor above the suit, the armor was made of the same metal of his katana, it was strong and resistant but lightweight, his katana is strapped in his back but with some differences, all the red details from stain were replaced for dark green ones. He also wears a grey scarf which also uses as a cap, finally he also wears a grey and dark green mask that only cover his frontal face, the mas has a black visor and has a filter to be able to breathe in dangerous environments and under water. (AN: If you want to see the costume… you can watch the cover I mage of the story or watch it in my DeviantArt).
- "Yami-kun is that you? You look so cool!"- Kinoko said while observing at Yamikumo's costume, suit was skintight and she could see his muscles, at least the one that weren't covered by the armor, she blushed a little.
Yamikumo checked Kinoko's costume, her hero costume consists of a turtleneck dress with long sleeves and furred cuffs, which is decorated with a red and white fly agaric pattern, matching the one on her mushroom cap-shaped hat. She wears pale pink knee-high boots with thick tan soles and frilled shafts, patterned with the same fly agaric as her dress, and around her waist is a dark brown belt with a large golden buckle. Altogether, her costume bears a strong resemblance to a mushroom, referring to the Quirk she possesses.
Yamikumo also noted how her costume didn't leave anything of her attributes to imagination, especially her long never-ending legs… wait, what? After processing his thoughts, he started to blush madly, he was grateful to wear a mask right now.
- "This the first time I think like this… then again, just look at her."-
After this they met with Iida and Uraraka (AN: I'm not describing their costumes, I think we all know them very well).
- "Hey guys, your costumes are so cool!"- Said Uraraka.
- "Thanks, yours as well"- Answered Kinoko.
- "By the way, have you seen Deku-chan?"-
- "No, I thought she was with you."-
- "I see, everyone is eager to start… wait, where is Young Midoriya?"-
Some steps could be heard at the entrance of the room, it was Izumi entering the room.
- "S-sorry it took me more than I thought to put my costume on."-
- "No worries. Now that you are here, we can begin with the battle training."-
- "Deku-chan, that's your costume…I guess we both should have been more specific with what we asked for, our suits are a bit tight, don't you think?"-
- "Y-yeah, I guess."- Her costume was tight, not as the same level of Uraraka but still.
- "Hero course is the best."- Said a small guy.
- "Yes, you all look great!"- Said All Might, then he noticed Izumi's costume and noticed the resemblances with his hair and smile. – "So obvious"-
- "Professor! This is the same place to practice the entrance exam. Are we going to carry out another exercise in an urban area?"- Iida asked to All Might.
- "No! We will take two steps forward. It will be an indoor melee battle practice. Villain attacks usually occur in exteriors, but this time will be different. You will divide into teams of heroes and villains. This will be a two vs two battle."-
- "Aren't we supposed to train the basics first?" – Asked the frog girl, Tsuyu.
- "This is a battle to train the basics. Just this time, there won't be any robots to easily destroy."-
- "What will be the victory or defeat system?"- Asked Momo.
- "Can I destroy them?" -Asked Bakugo.
- "Will there also be an expulsion punishment like in Aizawa-sensei's class?"- Asked Uraraka.
- "How are we going to divide?"- Asked Iida with his usual hand movement.
- "Please, one at a time, I don't have super hearing. Let's see… The villains will hide a "Nuclear Weapon" in their hideout. The heroes will try to get rid of her. The heroes, within a set time, must catch the villains and recover the nuclear weapon. The villains, within the established time, must protect the nuclear weapon and catch the heroes."- All Might said… while reading all of this from a paper sheet. – "The teams will be decided by lottery."-
- "Is that the right thing to do?"- Asked Iida.
- "It must be because professional heroes frequently form sudden teams with other heroes."- Answered Izumi.
- "I see! You keep thinking into the future. Sorry for interrupting!"-
- "Okay. Let's do it."-
- "I got letter A. Who will be my partner? I just hope that is one of my friends."- Thought Izumi, but her thoughts were interrupted by a voice.
- "It looks like we are a team now. I'm looking forwards to work with you!" – It was a pink skin girl and was smiling at her. – "My name is Mina Ashido. Nice to meet you Partner!"- She said raising her fist for a fist bump.
Izumi returned, nervously, the gesture and introduced herself… the best she could. - "M-m-my name is Izumi Midoriya. N-nice to meet you. L-let's do our best."-
- "Relax girl. We are going to do it just fine!"-
With Yamikumo.
- "Letter E… Kinoko was paired with Uraraka, Iida with the explosive Pomeranian and Midoriya with the Pink girl…"- Yamikumo searched for his partner and saw a blonde guy with the same letter as his. – "…Come on, I can talk with him, we are just gonna work together, we don't have to be friends."- He got closer to the guy and start talking to him. – "…Hi. It looks like we are a team. My name is Yamikumo Atanagi."
The guy quickly smiled and answered him. – "Yes! With you we will sure win our match. My name is Denki Kaminari by the way."- He said while shaking hands with Yamikumo.
The rest of the teams were formed, and all the teams were:
A. Izumi Midoriya and Mina Ashido.
B. Shoto Todoroki and Mezo Shoji.
C. Momo Yaoyorozu and Minoru Mineta.
D. Bakugo Katsuki and Tenya Iida.
E. Yamikumo Atanagi and Denki Kaminari.
F. Rikido Sato and Kyoka Jirou.
G. Kinoko Komori and Ochako Uraraka.
H. Tsuyu Asui and Fumikage Tokoyami.
I. Mashirao Ojiro.
J. Hanta Sero and Eijiro Kirishima.
…
…
…
- "Now that the teams are ready, let's continue. The first teams to fight each other will be… Those!"- All Might said while pulling two balls from two boxes, the balls had the letters A and D – "Team A will be the heroes and Team D will be the villains."-
- "I'll have to fight Kachan!"-
- "You are going down, Deku!"-
- "Villain team will enter first to prepare, in five minutes will start with the infiltration of the Hero team. Everyone else will watch from the screen. Young Iida, Young Bakugou, try to learn the mentality of a villain. attack with everything without fear of injury. Although I will suspend the practice if I see that you over-limit."-
…
…
…
With Team D.
- "Even if this is just a practice, become a villain is weird. If we protect this thing, everything will be alright."- Said Iida.
- "Hey! Glasses! Deku has quirk, right?" –
- "You saw that superhuman strength, right? Although it seems that using it is a great risk. But you always get too aggressive when it comes to Midoriya-san."-
- "Was she lying to me?! That Damn NERD!"-
…
…
…
With Team A.
- "This map is so weird; I can't memorize it. Well, doesn't matter."- Said Mina while throwing the map away. – "at least we don't have the threat of expulsion like in Aizawa-sensei's class, so we can be more relaxed, right?" – She then turned at Izumi… only to see her completely nervous. - "You are sooooo not relaxed."-
- "S-Sorry, it's just that… we are facing Kachan and Iida-kun."-
- "Kachan? You mean Bakugo? Wait… You have a nickname for him! Do you like him?"-
- "W-What?! N-no. I don't like him and I'm completely sure that he hates me. We know each other since we were four."-
- "I see… Childhood friend!"-
- "He is incredible. He may be a disagreeable guy, but ... his goal, confidence, strength, and quirk are more incredible than mine… But ... precisely because of that ... I don't want to lose."- Izumi said with a confident face at the end and putting her mask.
- "That's the spirit girl! Now let's prepare to win!"-
After that short conversation All Might indicated the beginning of the battle training.
Izumi and mina managed to infiltrate the building.
- "Infiltration success."- Whispered Mina.
- "There's a lot of blind spots in here. We must be careful."- Whispered Izumi. - "I still can control the power of One for All. If I shoot it towards someone, I could kill him."- Izumi's thought were interrupted when she catches something in the corner of her eyes.
Bakugo quickly appeared in front of the girls and attacked with an explosion, Izumi managed to dodge it and tackled Mina away from the explosion as well, unfortunately her face mask was reached by the explosion and was destroyed.
- "Ashido-san! Are you okay?!"-
- "Yes! Thanks. He appeared from nowhere."-
- "Come on Deku. Don't dodge it!"-
- "I knew you were coming directly to me."-
…
…
…
In the observation room.
- "Geez Bakugo, that's cheating, a surprise attack isn't manly!" – Said a Redhaired guy.
- "Yes, but Midoriya dodged it."- Another student said.
- "Surprise attacks are also good strategies."-
…
…
…
- "Come on Deku! Fight me!"- Bakugo screamed while preparing another attack.
Before Bakugo could land another hit Izumi intercepted his right arm and grabbed it, then she turned around and using Bakugo's weight she slammed him into the ground.
- "Did she read my movements?"-
- "Generally, you always start with a powerful punch to the right. I've seen you, countless times. All my analyzes were wrote down in my notebook. The same notebook that you burned! I'm no longer the weak and good-for-nothing Deku! Now my Deku means ... YOU CAN DO IT!"-
- "Yes! You tell him girl!"-
…
…
…
Meanwhile with the bomb was Iida completely confused by the disappearance of his teammate.
- "Bakugo-kun. He just ran of like crazy. What's wrong with that guy?"-
…
…
…
- "You always stood up to defend others, despite always trembling with fear, that ... It's what I hate the most about you!"-
- *Bakugo-kun! What's the situation over there? You just ran away! *- It was Iida talking from the communicator.
- "Shut up four eyes. Stay and defend the bomb. I'm really pissed of right now!"- Bakugo answered and turned off his communicator.
- "A-Ashido-san, go and search for the bomb. I'll handle Kachan."-
- "Are you sure?"-
- "Yes. Now go."-
After hearing this Mina left the place in search of the bomb.
- "DEKU! Don't get distracted!"- Screamed Bakugo while charging at Izumi again.
Izumi managed to dodge Bakugo's attack and trapped his leg with the capture tape. – "Notebook no.10, page 18. Now Kachan will irritate again and try to do another attack with his right"- Just like Izumi predicted, Bakugo attacked again with his right, but Izumi dodged it again, then she started running away. – "I need to think of a strategy."-
- "Where do you think you are going Deku?! It must be really funny, right?! Hiding that cool quirk to everyone! You've been lying to me all this time, right?! COME ON, USE IT!" –
Meanwhile, Izumi was hiding in a corner. – "Just as I expected. He focused on me, ignoring Ashido completely. I just need to distract Kachan until Ashido finds Iida and the bomb… then I'll go there, and it would be a two vs one battle. In that scenario we could win. I just need to be careful with Kachan's hands and everything would be fine."-
…
…
…
- "I found the bomb. I need to remain hidden until Midoriya arrives."- Mina thought about a strategy to capture the bomb.
- "It seems that Bakugou-kun is naturally evil, but I think that is the goal of this practice ... in that case, I should also delve into my role. To become a hero, I must be colored with evil! I AM VERY EVIL!"- Said Iida while trying to act like a villain.
Mina managed, hardly, to hold her laugh by covering her mouth tightly. – "He is taking this so serious!"- Then she heard a loud "I am the embodiment of evil itself" from Iida. – "Midoriya please hurry, I don't know how much I can hold myself from laughing."-
…
…
…
With Izumi.
- "I can't hide forever. I need to think of a strategy."-
- "Found you! You damn nerd!"- Bakugo found her and was aiming his gauntlet at her. – "Since you are a stalker, I'm sure you already know. My explosions arise thanks to the sweat glands of my hands, they release nitroglycerin which is what I make explode. If my gauntlet is designed according to my requests. This substance has accumulated on the inside of my gauntlet."-
- *Young Bakugo stop! Are you trying to kill her?!" *-
- "If she dodges it, she won't die!"- He then pulled the fuse, and a giant explosion was blasted from the gauntlet towards Izumi, destroying a big part of the building.
…
…
…
With Mina and Iida.
- "What? What was that?!"- Iida got distracted by the sudden explotion.
- "Now is my chance!" – Mina took advantage of Iida being distracted and run towards the bomb, sadly Iida noticed her and quickly interpose between her and the bomb, but she was prepared, using her quirk in her feet, she uses the acid to slide and dodge Iida.
- "She used her quirk to slide faster and dodge me. I can't let her capture the bomb." –
Mina was about to touch the bomb but suddenly it disappeared from her sight.
- "Interesting tactic but I am faster. I can move the bomb before you can touch it."- Iida said while was touching the bomb, he used his quirk to move the bomb before Mina could touch it.
- "Damn it. I almost had it."-
…
…
…
With Izumi and Bakugo.
The dust cleared and Izumi was in the floor, she barely dodged that explosion, but the right arm of her costume was destroyed.
- "What do you think about that Deku?! Come on use your quirk, I want to destroy you at your best!"- Bakugo was standing in front of her.
- *Midoriya, I'm against Iida, I tired to capture the bomb while Iida was distracted but I failed. *- It was Mina talking to her.
- "Where are you?" –
- *In the middle of the fifth floor* -
- "Right above us?"-
- "Are you ignoring me Deku?" – Asked a furious Bakugo.
- *Young Bakugo. If you use that attack again your team will be disqualified. An attack like that can destroy the place you are supposed to defend. *-
- "FINE! In that case…"- Bakugo was getting more furious (If that's possible).
- "A-Ashido-san get as far away from the center of the room as possible"- Izumi ordered to Mina.
- "I'll use my fists!"- Bakugo finished saying and charged at Izumi again.
Izumi tried to counterattack but Bakugo used an explosion to locate himself at Izumi's back and shot her another explosion, this time hitting the target, but that wasn't all, Bakugo grabbed Izumi's right arm and used another explosion to throw her to a near wall.
- "Why?! Why aren't you using your quirk?! Do you underestimate me?!"-
- "N-no, I-I…"-
- "You what?!"-
- "I want to defeat you!"-
- "Then prove it! USE IT!"-
After this exchange, both charged against each other, Bakugo prepared another explosion and Izumi activated One for All in her right arm.
- "Both of you sto…!"-
- "Ashido-san prepare yourself!"- Izumi interrupted All Might. She then blocked, with her left arm, Bakugo's attack and used a Detroit smash, not towards Bakugo, she aimed to the roof. – "SMASH!"- The upper levels started to get destroyed.
…
…
…
With Mina and Iida.
Mina did what Izumi told her, for Iida's confusion, then the floor between them collapsed with a lot of debris in the air.
Mina used this to her advantage and used the debris to propel herself towards the bomb, once again Iida interposed himself between Mina and the bomb.
- "I was expecting you to do that!"- Mina said, she then kicked Iida directly in the face with a dropkick, she then used Iida's body to push herself towards the bomb and capture it. – "I did it! The bomb is secured!"-
- "NOOO! THE BOMB!"- Screamed Iida.
- "Hero team… WIIIINS!"- Those were All Might's final words before Izumi collapsed.
…
…
…
In the observation room.
Everyone was back at the observation room, except Izumi who was taken to the infirmary.
- "Good. We can say that the MVP of the battle is between Young Iida and Young Ashido!" –
- "I understand Ashido, but why Iida? Didn't he lose" –
- "Why is that? Who can tell me?" –
- "I can." – Momo raised her arm. – "Bakugo-san's actions, from what I saw, were arbitrary decisions motivated by a personal grudge. Also, as the professor said before, a large-scale attack indoors is nonsense. The same goes for Midoriya-san."- She then directed to Mina and Iida. – "On the contrary, the actions of both Ashido-san and Iida-san were correct. Both acted according to the situation. Iida-san appropriately simulated the fight, Ashido-san did the same, in addition to capturing the weapon without taking any irrational action and keeping the damage to a minimum. If I had to decide, I would say that Ashido-san is the MVP of the match because she was the one who gave the victory to her team, but it is a full-fledged draw."-
Everyone was silent after that explanation. – "C-correct, but Iida could be a little bit more relaxed next time. Let's change the building and continue with the next battle."- After changing buildings All Might pulled another two balls; they had the letters B and E. – "Okay team E will be the villains, go to the building and prepare and please, keep the destruction at minimum this time."-
Yamikumo and Denki went inside the building to prepare their fight against Todoroki and Shoji.
…
…
…
With Shoji and Todoroki.
Shoji was using his quirk to scout and find the target.
Mezo Shoji.
Quirk: Dupli-Arms.
Mezo's Quirk grants him a set of tentacles alongside his arms. He can transform the tips of these tentacles to replicate other parts of his body (ex: mouth, ears, eyes). The duplicated body parts are more efficient than the originals; as a result, Mezo can hear better, see-through more angles at a time, and they grant him much higher degrees of strength.
- "Both of them are located in the highest room of the building, probably still thinking of a strategy or being defensive."- Said Shoji to Todoroki.
- "Get out of here. It can be dangerous. The must be trying a defensive tactic, but… is irrelevant to me."- Todoroki the proceeded to freeze the entire building. He then searched for the weapon leaving Shoji behind.
Shoto Todoroki
Quirk: Half-Hot Half-Cold.
Shoto's Quirk gives him the ability to generate ice from the right side of his body, and flames from his left side.
By the time he arrived at the top floor, he entered the room with the bomb, stepping inside and touching all the water in the room… wait, water?
- "Well, it seems that he was right."- Todoroki looked at the voice and saw Denki looking at him. – "Did you know that water is an incredible conductor of electricity?"- Asked Denki, then he proceeded to use his quirk on the water.
Denki Kaminari.
Quirk: Electrification.
Denki's Quirk allows him to generate electricity and cover his body in it. While he can also emit this energy over a distance, Denki has little to no control over it. Exceeding his wattage limit causes his brain to short-circuit, leaving him in a vulnerable state for 1 hour.
The electricity reached Todoroki, thanks to him touching the water and was strong enough to paralyze him, Denki used this and proceeded to capture Todoroki with the capture tape. – "He read you like an open book."- Said to Todoroki.
…
…
…
With Shoji.
- * Shoto Todoroki has been captured! * - Those were All Might words.
- "What?"- That's what Shoji managed to say before a voice interrupted him.
- "He got reckless…"- Shoji tried to move but then realized that he was trapped in the capture tape, he then turned at the voice only to see Yamikumo with the capture tape in his hands. – "… and you are trapped. We win."-
- "Mezo Shoji has been captured. The villain team wins!"-
…
…
…
In the Observation room.
Everyone was open-mouthed, that match was so fast. Firstly, they were impressed by Todoroki's power, but then the other team captured both in record time. Especially Yamikumo, he disappeared and reappeared at Shoji's side without anyone noticing it.
- "That was so fast! How did you do it?"- Asked the Redhaired guy to Denki.
- "Actually, everything was Atanagi's plan. You see…"-
Flashback.
Yamikumo was staring at Todoroki's team from the window, then he turned at Denki. – "I have a plan."-
- "Cool. Let's hear it."-
- "I've been watching Todoroki and I realized something. He never pays attention to the rest of us, maybe he underestimates us, most likely he does not know our Quirks, or he does not care enough to remember them."-
- "And how that help us?"-
- "Taking into account his personality, he will try to end this in a quick and humiliating way. He'll freeze the entire building ... and we'll let him."-
- "What?! Why?!"-
- "Calm down, I'll melt the ice after that with my fire."-
- "If you have fire, why not just avoid being frozen instead of freezing and then melting the ice."-
- "Because we need the water. Water is an excellent conductor of electricity."- Denki smiled at this. – "Most likely, Todoroki will leave his partner behind and enter the room alone. Use your Quirk with enough power to paralyze it and then capture it with the capture tape. I'll take care of capturing his partner."-
- "I like that plan but, what if it fails?"-
- "It won't. Now come close to me. Here it comes."- After saying this a giant blast of ice entered the room…
Flashback end.
- "…and the rest, as they say, is history."- Ended explaining Denki.
Most of the class was surprised by that, Yamikumo completely predicted the full battle.
Bakugo, instead, was deep inside his thoughts - "He completely humiliated a recommended student, while I lost to Deku."- He was starting to notice the big difference between him and that Atanagi guy.
- "Hey! Atanagi-san. Can I ask you something?"- The Redhaired guy asked to Yamikumo.
- "I guess so."-
- "In the battle it looked like you disappeared and reappeared at Shoji's side, is that part of your quirk?"-
- "No. I learned how to hide my presence from everyone and move without no one noticing, but I can only do it in dark places or if there's a lot of shadows in the place and I need dark-colored clothes to blend with the shadows."-
- "That's so manly!"-
- "Manly? Should I tell him that a girl taught me this? Nah."-
The rest of the battles passed without anything outstanding.
- "You all did a good job. Besides young Midoriya, no one else got injured today. Now if you excuse me, I must go, change into the uniform and return to the classroom."- After that All Might runed away.
- "He must be at his time limit"- Yamikumo thought.
…
…
…
Izumi exited the infirmary, she missed the rest of the lessons, she opened the door from the classroom and was greeted by some of her classmates.
- "Midoriya! You are here!"- Said the Redhaired guy.
- "You were awesome. It was so cool to work with you!" – Mina joined the conversation.
- "The first was such a good fight that it filled us all with enthusiasm!"- Another guy said.
- "My name is Eijiro Kirishima, nice to meet you!" – Said the redhaired guy.
- "I am Rikido Sato."-
- "I am Tsuyu Asui, call me Tsuyu-chan."-
- "N-nice to meet you all."- Izumi answered shyly. She then scouted the room and didn't saw Bakugo. – "W-Where is Kachan?"-
- "Bakugo? He went home without saying anything."- Answered Mina.
- "I need to talk with him!"- Izumi said before heading to the exit.
Yamikumo was watching all the interaction. – "Is she going to tell him? I need to stop her before is too late."- He said while standing up from his desk. - "I need to use the bathroom. Excuse me."- He then discreetly followed Izumi.
…
…
…
Izumi managed to catch up with Bakugo before he could leave the school.
- "Kachan!" – She screamed and Bakugo turned at her. – "I-I need to tell you something. Something about my quirk. My quirk was…"-
- "There you are Midoriya!"- Both turned to see Yamikumo walking towards them. – "Sorry for interrupting but, since you are talking about your quirk, I wanted to ask you something about it."-
- "Y-Yeah, what is it?"-
- "Are you a late bloomer?" –
- "Late bloomer? Is that a joke?! All the quirks are awakened at the age of four, no exceptions!" – Said Bakugo.
- "Yes. I know that but, her quirk is weird. Every time she uses it, she gets severely injured. I imagine that power in the body of a four-year-old girl and I only think of something much worse. Then I thought of something, maybe she awakened her quirk at the age of four but, the power was to much for her body to handle and it deactivated until she had an acceptable body to use it. At least that's my theory."- Yamikumo ended explaining.
- "Deku… is that true?"- Bakugo asked.
- "I-I…Yes. That's the only reason of why I passed the entrance exam, I activated my quirk at the exam and saved Uraraka with it. I won the necessary rescue points to pass… but I promise you, that I will control it!"-
- "Then hurry up and do it! I will destroy you when you are using your maximum power! That also applies to you scars!" –
- "Scars?"- Yamikumo thought.
- "I'm going to be the number one and that means that I will defeat everyone else!"- After saying this Bakugo left.
- "Thank you Atanagi-kun"-
- "Yeah whatever, next time you'll be on your own. You almost do something really stupid."- Yamikumo said while returning to the classroom, Izumi followed him.
…
…
…
Unknow place.
- "Did you hear it? All Might is teaching at UA."- Said a voice. – "What do you think would happen if the symbol of peace... is killed by some villains?"- Said the voice which resulted to be a man with a lot of hand in his body. With him there was another man that looked like a mist and a creature that looked like a bird.
Chapter 14.
Problems at USJ
Another day, another adventure, Izumi was arriving at UA, still thinking about what happened the other day.
- "I almost revealed the secret of One for All, Atanagi-kun unintentionally saved the secret. I need to be more careful about that. The good side is that I now have an excuse to tell."- By the time she arrived at the UA… it was invaded by reporters, she could see some of her friends being interviewed.
- "You! What can you tell us about All Might lessons?" – A reporter suddenly appeared besides her and started asking her questions.
- "EH?! I-I need to go!"- She said to escape from the reporter, the rest of her friends were in a similar position.
- "What can you tell us about All Might lessons?"- A reporter asked to Uraraka.
- "All Might? He is really muscular."-
- "What can you tell us about All Might lessons?"- Another reporter asked to Iida.
- "He has made me especially aware that I am truly enrolled in the best educational institution. We students have already been able to see not only his dignity and personality, but other aspects, such as his humor. In this way, by seeing one of the best heroes directly, we can also learn what it takes to be one ..."- He likes to speak a lot.
- "What can you tell us about All Might lessons?" – Another reporter asked to Yamikumo, who was accompanied by Kinoko.
- "Sorry. We are from the Business class"- The reporters lose interest on them and let them pass.
- "What can you tell us about… You look tired are you okay?" – Asked a reporter to Eraserhead.
- "He is working. You are obstructing the entrance to the students. Please go away."- Eraserhead said while trying to make the reporters go away.
- "One moment please! We want to know about All Might"- A reporter said while getting close to the UA's gate.
Suddenly, a metal door emerged and blocked the gates, preventing the reporter from entering the school.
- "Aaah! What is this?"-
- "It's UA's barrier or at least that's how we named it. If you try to go through that gate without a student or teacher ID, the security system activates."-
- "What's wrong with them! We just want a quick interview with All Might!"-
While the reporters were complaining a figure was staring at the barrier.
…

…
1-a Classroom.
- "You all did a good job in the battle training; I was able to see the videos and scores."- Aizawa said to the class. – "Bakugo. Stop acting like a brat. You have talent, you just need to take advantage of it."-
- "Understood"- Bakugo replied.
- "Midoriya. You injured your arm again. You can't keep going like this."-
- "Y-yes"- Izumi replied.
- "Todoroki. It's okay to have confidence with your abilities, even so, do not overconfidence, you thought you would finish quickly and thanks to that you were easily defeated."-
Todoroki didn't answer, he just stared at Aizawa.
- "Moving on to other matters. Sorry if this is too fast but ..."-
- "Another test?"- That was everyone's thoughts.
- "You will have to choose the class president." –
- "I want to be the president!" – Said Kirishima.
- "My rule will be that all girls wear the skirt 30 cm above the knee!"- Said the small guy, Mineta.
- "I am ideal for that position"- Said the French looking guy, Aoyama.
- "I'll be the leader!" – Said Mina.
- "Shut up extras! I'll be the one in charge!"- Bakugo screamed.
- "Enough!"- Iida interrupted. – "This is a job that carries great responsibilities! Wanting to be doesn't mean you can! I propose that we decide this through votes!"-
- "It is too early to know whether or not we trust someone. Also, everyone could vote for themselves!"- Said Kirishima.
- "Precisely, the most voted person will be the ideal for the position."- Iida replied, then turned at Aizawa. – "Is that okay with you, professor?"-
- "As long as you decide in time, do it however you want."-
…
…
…
At the end of the voting and the votes were counted, in front of the classroom were standing Yamikumo and Momo.
- "So, it looks like Atanagi is the president with 4 votes and Yaoyorozu is the vice president with 3."-
- "How did I managed to get four votes?"- Yamikumo thought he then saw Kinoko smirking at him. – "Of course."-
- "Only one vote? I'm glad to think that at least I seem worthy to one person"-
- "That means that you didn't vote for yourself Iida?"-
- "You finished? Good. Does anybody have something to say?"- Aizawa asked. Yamikumo raised a hand. - "Yes?"-
- "Can I quit?"- He said surprising everyone.
- "Whatever, just choose your replacement but do it fast."- Aizawa answered.
- "Since I voted for him. I choose Iida."-
- "Are you sure of this Atanagi-kun?"-
- "Sure. I didn't want the position anyways"-
- "Then. I'll do my best!"- Iida said with slight happiness.
…
…
…
At the cafeteria.
- "Are you sure you don't want to be the class president Atanagi-kun?" – Asked Iida.
- "Yeah sure. I didn't want the position anyways." – Said Yamikumo while reading a book.
- "I see, if you had told me that I would not have voted for you." –
- "So, it was you? I know Kinoko voted for me as well, who else voted for me?"-
- "I-I did." – Said Izumi.
- "Me too!" - Said Kaminari.
- "I should have guessed." – Said Yamikumo while returning to his reading.
- "Still, are you sure that I'm the most capable for the position?" – Asked Iida.
- "Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have voted for you."- Said Yamikumo without taking his eyes off his book.
- "Then I will do my best to live up to your trust" –
- "Wow Iida, you are so formal." – Said Mina.
- "True! Are you from a rich family?"- Asked Uraraka.
- "… I tried to hide it by changing my form of talking. My family has been a family of heroes for generations."- Answered.
- "Right. I wanted to ask you. Are you related to Ingenium in some way? Your quirk is similar to his."- Asked Yamikumo drawing everyone's attention.
- "Yes! He is my brother. He is a beloved hero who guides people and respects order and discipline. I intend to become a hero like my brother."- Said Iida.
Suddenly an alarm started to sound.
- *Security breach level 3 reached. All the students evacuate the place and go outside immediately. *-
Everyone started to run at the exit, the group (Izumi, Iida, Uraraka, Mina, Kaminari and Kinoko) was about to do the same, but Yamikumo stopped them.
- "Calm down for a second!"- Said Yamikumo while still seated and reading his book.
- "Atanagi-kun, we must evacuate, you heard the alarm and the announcement."-
- "Yes. I know" – He said while standing up and saving his book. – "But if we all try to evacuate at the same time…" He said and a lot of noises drew the group's attention seeing the rest of the students stucked in the corridor. – "That will happen."
- "I see. We must remain calm even during an emergency. You are truly amazing Atanagi-kun"- Said Iida.
- "Now what?"- Asked Uraraka.
- "Considering that we cannot leave until everyone calms down. We should look for the source of the problem."- Yamikumo said while getting close to the window. The rest of the group followed him.
- "Look! Over there! It's just the news reporters."- Said Kaminari to the rest.
- "Good! Now we must inform this to the rest of the students, we need someone to call the attention and explain everything."- Said Iida, then everyone turned at him. - "What? You want me to do it?"-
- "You are the class president. It's your time to show that you deserve that position." – Said Yamikumo.
- "Right. We need a high place to draw everyone's attention."-
- "I know what to do." – Said Yamikumo, then turned at Uraraka. - "Uraraka. Make Iida weightless."-
- "Yes" – Uraraka used her quirk on Iida, he started to feel weird.
- "Good. Now, don't move Iida" – Said Yamikumo, the used his Telekinesis to put Iida above the exit sign.
- "Everyone! Listen to me! Everything's okay! It's just the media! There is no need to panic!"- Iida shouted to the students. Everyone drew their attention to him and after hearing his words, they calmed down.
…
…
…
- "A few simple reporters could do this?"- A teacher said. All the teachers were reunited in the gates, which were destroyed.
- "Maybe someone prompted them to do it."- Nezu said. – "Could it be that someone evil entered? Or was it his intention to declare war on us?"-
…
…
…
A new day has come, and class 1-a was preparing for a special class.
- "Today we are having a special class, me, All Might and someone else will be supervising the class." – Aizawa said to the class.
- "Excuse me! What are we doing today?" –
- "You will learn how to act in disasters such as floods and many more ... we will have a rescue practice."-
- "Today's gonna be a rough day again, huh?" – Said Kaminari.
- "What are you saying? This is our job as heroes! I Am more than ready!"- Said Kirishima.
- "On this occasion, each person will have to decide whether or not to use their suit. Perhaps there are costumes that limit your activities in the middle of practice." – Aizawa started explaining. – "The practice site is a bit far away, so we will take the bus. That is all. Begin your preparations."-
…
…
…
All the Class 1-a was ready to get inside the bus.
- "Deku-chan! You are wearing the gym uniform instead of your hero costume."- Uraraka said to Izumi.
- "Yes. M-my costume was destroyed in the battle training, so I have to use the gym uniform until they finish repairing it."-
- "Okay everyone! We will get on the bus in an orderly manner. Line up in two lines based on your class number!" – Iida started ordering the rest of the class.
…
…
…
Inside the bus.
- "The bus was of this type ... Damn it."- Said a depressed Iida. Everyone was laughing at this.
- "I usually say what I have in mind. Midoriya-chan?"- Said Tsuyu.
- "Y-yes Asui-san?" –
- "I noticed that your quirk is similar to All Might's" –
- "W-what? R-really? I didn't…"-
- "Wait, Tsuyu-chan. All Might doesn't injure himself."- Said Kirishima – "But, your quirk is very cool, and you can do many things whit it. Unlike my hardening, it is really useful in battle, but is very simple." –
- "I-I think that you quirk is really awesome, perfect for a pro." – Said Izumi, making Kirishima blush a little and smile.
- "Pro level? My Navel laser is so flashy and strong that it reaches the level of a pro."- Said Aoyama.
- "Yes, but the stomach aches aren't really nice."- Said Mina, making Aoyama depressed.
- "If we are talking about powerful quirks, we cannot pass up the quirks of Bakugo, Todoroki and Atanagi."- Said Tsuyu while pointing at the mentioned trio, Bakugo and Todoroki stared at her while Yamikumo… let's say that his attention was in his book rather than anything else. - "But Bakugo is always angry, and Todoroki is antisocial, so I think they'll never be popular." -
- "What did you say frog!? Do you wanna fight?!"- Bakugo screamed at Tsuyu while Todoroki only glared at her.
- "Despite knowing each other for a short time, we all know your character Bakugo."- Said Kaminari making fun of Bakugo.
- "They are making fun of Kachan I can't believe it!"- Izumi thought.
- "What a vulgar conversation."- Said Momo.
- "I don't know, it's kind of funny."- Said Uraraka.
- "Get ready everyone, we are almost there." – Said Aizawa drawing everyone's attention.
…
…
…
USJ
- "Incredible! It's like the USJ (Universal Studios Japan)." –
- "All kinds of disasters and accidents are simulated here."- Said a pro hero, her costume consists of a white space suit design using what appears to be a puffy jacket instead of an actual suit, a black helmet with white eyes, and a pair of yellow boots. It was the Pro hero Thirteen. – "This is the practice place that I built. Its name is Unforeseen Simulation Joint or USJ for short."-
- "It actually is USJ!"- Everyone thought.
- "I can't believe it! It's thirteen!"- Said Izumi with stars in her eyes.
- "I love thirteen!"- Said Uraraka.
- "Thirteen. Where's All Might?" – Aizawa asked to the hero.
- "He run out of time."- Thirteen answered rising three fingers.
- "The price for the irrationality… Anyway, let's begin."-
- "Three fingers? Does that mean that All Might reached his time limit?"- Izumi thought when she saw Thirteen's fingers.
- All Might ran out of time? Too bad but doesn't matter, it's not like some villains would attack."- Yamikumo thought… if only he knew.
- "Before starting I have one thing to say or maybe two or three…"- Thirteen started – "As you may know, my quirk "Black Hole" can absorb anything and turn it into dust. I can help a lot of people with it, but this power can also easily kill people. I can imagine that there's someone with a quirk like mine in your group. In this practice you will learn how to use your quirks to save people."-
- "Thirteen is really amazing!" – Said Uraraka.
- "Now continuing with the class…"- Aizawa started.
At this moment Yamikumo's senses began to warn him. He turned at the direction he felt and saw a black portal opening, he also noticed that Aizawa noticed this as well.
- "Everyone! Stay together and don't move! Thirteen protect the students!"- Aizawa ordered.
- "Is this like the entrance exam? Did we already start?"- Asked Kirishima.
- "Don't move! Those are Real Villains!" – Screamed Aizawa while putting his googles on.
From the portals emerged a lot of villains but the most important were the one who created the portal, it looked like a mist. The other was a giant, muscular bird-looking man. Lastly, the third one is a slim man with pale skin, tinged yellow teeth, and wrinkled a great deal around his eyes. His lips are chapped and uneven, a small mole on the right underneath, with visible scars on his right eye and under his lip. He has messy grayish-blue hair of varying lengths, the longest clumps reaching to about his shoulders, left hanging over his face in uneven waves. His eyes and mouth are normally obscured, he sports fourteen embalmed hands, all positioned so they're holding onto him onto different parts of his body.
- "Only Thirteen and Eraserhead? In the studies program it was written that All Might was going to be here as well."- Said the mist villain.
- "Where is he!? Even though I brought all of these people, at the end All Might isn't even here! I wonder… Will he come if we kill some students?"- The hand villain said while scratching his neck.
…
…
…
- "Villains, here?! What about the sensors?!"- Asked Momo.
- "Maybe they only appeared in here. Think about it. The gate incident, they could have used it to steal some of our schedules, so they know when and where to attack."- Answered Yamikumo.
- "And they must have someone that is jamming our communications and sensors."- Said Thirteen.
- "Thirteen start to evacuate! Kaminari try using your quirk to contact the school!"-
- "Are you planning to fight them by yourself sensei? They are too many, even for you."- Said Yamikumo.
- "Of all those present, you more than anyone should know that a hero not only has one trick."-
- "Do you need any help?"-
- "Protect your classmates. You are the best from all the students, I'm counting on you too keep the safe."-
- "Understood. Give them hell sensei."-
After this exchange Eraserhead charged against the group of villains, some of them tried to shoot him with their quirks but he quickly erased them, to their confusion, then trapped them with his bandages and disable them.
- "Idiots! That's Eraserhead, he can erase your quirks!" – Said a Villain.
- "Erase, huh? Can you erase mutant quirks like mine?" – Said another villain while trying to attack Eraserhead.
- "No, I can't, but…"- Erasedhead quickly wrapped the villain with his bandages. – "Quirks like yours…"- He launched the villain against the rest. – "Are usually combat oriented."-
…
…
…
With the students.
- "Incredible! Aizawa-sensei can handle a large number of enemies!" – Izumi started analyzing.
- "Midoriya! Now is not the time to analyze, we have to evacuate!" – Said Iida.
But before the group could escape, a black mist appeared in front of them, revealing to be another villain.
- "Shit. I blink once and the one that seems the most dangerous escapes."- Thought Eraserhead from his position.
- "Hello. We are the League of Villains. We came here to accomplish our objective. We wish to kill the Symbol of Peace, All Might."- Said the Mist villain. – "My job is to torture all of you until All Might arrives" –
Before the mist villain could finish his speech, Kirishima and Bakugo attacked him, when the dust cleared the villain seem unharmed.
- "You are strong. You must be the golden eggs of the UA."- Said the Villain.
- "You two! Get out of there!" – Screamed Thirteen.
- "My job is to scatter all of you."- Said the Villain while using his quirk to teleport the students to the different parts of the USJ, Iida and Shoji managed to save some of their classmates.
…
…
…
Flood zone.
Izumi emerged from the portal and fell inside the water. – "The flood zone? That mist villain's quirk must be some kind of teleportation. And what about killing All Might?! What's going on?!"- Her thoughts were interrupted by a villain who was looking at her.
- "The first pray is here!"- Said the villain. Then opened his mouth and showed his sharp teeth - "I don't have anything against you girl, but you now die!"- Before the villain could bite her, he was kicked in the face by Tsuyu, who was carrying Mineta with her, then used her tongue to grab Izumi, then jumped outside the water and landed in the boat that was in the middle of the zone.
- "Thanks, Asui-san"- Said Izumi.
- "Call me Tsuyu-chan. Anyways, the situation got complicated, right?"- Replied the frog girl.
Tsuyu Asui.
Quirk: Frog.
Tsuyu's Quirk gives her a frog's physiology and allows her to do anything a frog can.
- "Atanagi-kun was right. They knew our schedule. They were waiting for an opportunity."- Izumi said.
- "But they can't kill All Might!"- Mineta said in a worried tone.
- "Mineta-chan. They wouldn't have attacked if they weren't sure they could kill All Might" – Said Tsuyu.
- "What!? You have to be kidding! What are supposed to do!? I can't believe my luck, I'm alone with two girls and I can't do anything!"- Both girls stared at him with both worry and disgust.
- "I wonder how the others are doing"-
…
…
…
In the building zone Bakugo and Kirishima were facing some villains, in the landslide zone Momo, Jiro and Kaminari were defending their selves against some villains and in the fire zone…
Two villains fell to the floor, Kinoko and Yamikumo were back-to-back with most of the villains assigned in this zone unconscious in the floor.
- "So, this is how you felt in the QHC assault?"- Asked Kinoko to Yamikumo.
- "Nah, this is easier than the QHC, these villains are really weak, it seems that whoever in in charge he preferred quantity over quality. Big mistake."- Answered Yamikumo while knocking down another villain.
- "True. They aren't really smart either. They send YOU to the fire zone, they obviously don't know our quirks."-
- "Good intuition. We now need to discover their plan, and I'm seeing the perfect subject"- Yamikumo said while throwing a fireball at the last villain. He then got closer to the villain and drew his katana. – "You don't want to see this."- Kinoko faced the opposite direction.
- "Aaaah! Stop it! I'll talk! Just stop!"- She could hear the villain scream. Kinoko turned again only to see Yamikumo saving his Katana and the villain shaking in fear.
- "Start speaking."- Yamikumo said.
- "Y-yes. The man in charge is the one with the hands in his body, his name is Tomura Shigaraki, the mist guy, Kurogiri if I recall, is the second in command, they recruited us to kill All Might."-
- "How? Even with all the villains in here you wouldn't stand a chance against All Might and Eraserhead together…unless"- He then remembered the bird-looking monster. – "The bird-looking thing, what is that?"-
- "It's called Nomu, that is the real weapon against All Might, they say that is designed to specifically Kill him, but I don't know how… and that's all I know"-
- "Appreciate" – Said Yamikumo before knocking him out.
- "That was something. Designed to kill All Might that's crazy." – Said Kinoko.
- "No at all. If it was designed probably his strength isn't natural, mutation? No, it won't be powerful enough, experiments? Probably, but it would take a lot of time to prepare something like this, Quirks? Yes!" – He then turned to Kinoko – "That thing probably has multiple quirks, maybe by experiments the managed to implant multiple quirks in that thing."-
- "Sometimes I forget how smart you are. But if that's true how many quirks does that thing could have?" –
- "Unknown, but I can think in some of them. If they want to face All Might they need a good defense from All Might's punches. Probably a shock absorption or nullification quirk, if its absorption it would be easier, just hit the same spot until the quirk reach it limits, if its nullification…well, problematic. Next, it needs strength and speed, probably a strengthen and speed quirk. Other than that, it could have anything."-
Kinoko was speechless, that was a lot to process. – "So… what do we do now?"-
- "I suggest go to the center, help Aizawa-sensei, deliver information about the Nomu, regroup with others."-
- "Fine by me."-
- "Let's go."-
…
…
…
Flood Zone.
At the same time.
- "FIGHT?! How are we fighting against some villains that can kill All Might?!"- Mineta started screaming… again.
- "We don't have any other choice. But I've been thinking. They send you, Asu… Tsuyu-chan, here, at the flood zone. That means that probably they don't know our quirks."- Said Izumi.
- "You are right. If they knew my quirk, they would send me to the fire zone."-
- "We need a strategy, tell me your quirks."-
- "My quirk is called Frog; I can do basically anything that a frog can."-
- "My quirk is Pop-off, my hair can adhere to any surface except me. Depending on my condition, they can stay stuck for up to a day."-
- "Okay… I can think of something. Give me a sec…"- Before Izumi could finish the boat was starting to get destroyed by the attacks from the villains.
- "They are breaking the boat."- Said Tsuyu.
- "We need to go. Mineta throw your balls at the water."- Izumi said. Mineta did what she told him.
- "Come on Izumi, you can do it. Be brave like Atanagi-kun"- She gather the necessary confidence and then, with a battle cry, jumped towards the enemy. – "Imagine the egg on the microwave! I just need the attack reaching the water… Delaware…"- She prepared her middle finger. – "SMASH!"- She unleashed a big blast of air from her finger into the water, Tsuyu then grabbed her with her tongue and carried Mineta while he was still throwing some balls. The water started absorbing all the villains and thanks to Mineta's ball they couldn't escape, finally the water converged in the center again making a huge splash of water.
- "We defeated our challenge, You guys, are amazing!"- Said Tsuyu while carrying Mineta and Izumi away from the Zone.
By the time they arrived the center they could see a horrible picture, their teacher was being massacred by the Bird-looking monster. They were too scared to think and unaware that there was someone else watching this.
…
…
…
With Yamikumo and Kinoko.
Yamikumo and Kinoko were hidden behind some bushes, they watched almost everything and Yamikumo had enough, he needs to save Eraserhead, if he doesn't do something Eraserhead could die… but, what to do? After thinking about it he could only see one solution. Kinoko was going to hate him for this.
- "Kinoko-san, I have an idea."-
- "Yes, what is it?"-
- "I'll distract them while you take Aizawa-sensei to somewhere safe."-
- "What?! Are you crazy? You will die."-
- "If I don't do something, Eraserhead will die and without him the morality of the class will decay and more can die."-
- "There must be something else to do"-
- "…No. No other options, if we don't act now, it would be worse. Please."-
- "…Okay. But you better survive this."- Kinoko said with tears falling from her eyes.
Yamikumo remained silent for a few seconds. – "On my signal grab Aizawa-sensei and run away."-
…
…
…
With the villains.
- "As you can see Eraserhead I'm not the final boss, he is"- Shigaraki said to an injured Eraserhead. Then Kurogiri appeared at Shigaraki's side. – "Kurogiri. Did you kill Thirteen?" –
- "No. But I put her out of commission. Unfortunately, a student managed to escape"-
- "Kurogiri… if you weren't our escape route, I would have killed you. Fine… reinforcements are in the way we must go…"- He then turned at the group of Midoriya, Tsuyu and Mineta. – "But, before of that…"- He didn't finish because he heard something, he turned and saw Yamikumo in the air.
…
…
…
Yamikumo throwed some two fire balls at two villains that were at Shigaraki's side, then landed on his feet and unleashed a big fire blast against Shigaraki making a big explosion. When the smoke cleared it revealed that the Nomu protected Shigaraki from the blast, leaving Aizawa alone.
- "Kinoko, now!"- After this, Kinoko grabbed Aizawa and, using her quirk, jumped away from the enemy, he than saw the group of Midoriya. - "You three! Help her take Aizawa-sensei somewhere safe. I'll hold them up!" – Yamikumo shouted at them while knocking down two more villains.
Tsuyu and Mineta quickly followed Kinoko, but Izumi stayed behind. – "Atanagi-kun! Are you sure about this?"-
- "Don't worry."- Said Yamikumo while drawing his Katana and setting his left arm in fire. – "I've faced powerful villains before."- He smiled at her. Izumi followed the rest.
- "Look Kurogiri. We have a brave one. You really want to fight, huh? Very well I'll have fun with you. Nomu! Attack him!" –
The Nomu charged at Yamikumo, and he did the same, when they were about to clash, Yamikumo used his fire to pass above the Nomu and locate himself at the Nomu's back and shoot some fire at the Nomu's back. The Nomu turned at him, Yamikumo quickly tried to slash him in the chest, but it didn't do any damage.
- "Hahaha! You can't damage my Nomu, he has shock absorption. But not only that, he has more than one quirk. He was created to defeat All Might."- Laughed Shigaraki.
- "My theory was right after all. Shock absorption, that means that my Katana is useless in this fight. I have to depend solely on my fire."
Yamikumo took several steps back, then released a large amount of fire towards the Nomu. Unsurprisingly the Nomu seemed unharmed.
- "Didn't you hear kid? You can't damage my Nomu!"-
- "You better take another look"- Answered Yamikumo.
Shigaraki looked at the Nomu and for his surprise the Nomu had some burn injuries. – "H-how?! It has Shock absorption. And what about the regeneration?! Why isn't working?!"-
- "Regeneration, huh?" "Yes. He might absorb the hit but not the heat the fire can burn and is not a physical attack and for the regeneration part… Burned cells cannot be regenerated."He finished unleashing another fire attack, this time making the Nomu back down.
- "NOMU! Stop playing around and KILL HIM!"- The Nomu unleashed a roar and with a swing the fire was destroyed. Then, with an incredibly speed, the Nomu charged at Yamikumo with a punch, which Yamikumo barely dodged by making a backflip.
Punches and kicks were given by Nomu, Yamikumo, for his part he dodged them all, thanks to the mobility that his quirk gave him. However, the last blow managed to hit him in the stomach, sending him back a few meters.
Yamikumo quickly pulled himself together and threw a ball of fire straight at the Nomu's face. The Nomu didn't flinch, letting out a roar and tried to charge again. However, the boy puffed out his cheeks and when the Nomu was close enough, he unleashed a huge flare from his mouth. Driving the Nomu back and at the same time managing to get away a bit.
The Nomu recovered quickly, took a great leap in the direction of Yamikumo to hit him. However, Yamikumo made a quick turn to evade the blow and quickly counterattack with a fire kick directly to the Nomu's face. The Nomu recovered quickly and hit Yamikumo hard in the stomach, causing him to open his eyes in pain and sending him flying a few meters.
Yamikumo tried to attack again but instead received another hit from the monster. Picking himself up quickly, Yamikumo leaped back to keep a little distance.
- "It is quite strong. But I need to buy time for reinforcements to arrive."- He said while panting a little.
Inadvertently, Nomu attacks him again with several blows which he barely dodged. However, he was unable to dodge one that went straight to his face. Sending him to fly and breaking his mask. Luckily his mask managed to cushion most of the blow.
Yamikumo recovered and attacks the Nomu again. He gave him a strong blow of fire in the face to later remate with a kick of fire to the face again. – "Take this!" - Yamikumo said as he created two large spheres of fire in each hand, bringing them together and then launching them against the Nomu.
…
…
…
At the entrance.
- "A-amazing, Atanagi-kun is holding himself against that thing."- Said Uraraka while watching the fight from the distance.
- "Yes, but he is clearly getting tired while the monster seems practically unharmed, besides the burns."- Said Sero.
At this moment, Izumi's group arrived with Aizawa in their hands. After putting him in the floor they observed the fight as well.
…
…
…
Yamikumo vs Nomu.
When the sphere of fire disappeared, the Nomu appeared practically unharmed, apart from some burns on his face, right arm, and on the right side of his body.
A little blood started to fall from Yamikumo's head - "Damn" - Yamikumo looked at his right arm. - "It is not complete yet, but I have no other option, I have to use it." – Suddenly, the temperature around Yamikumo began to rise, his skin took on a reddish color and with a loud scream, a torrent of fire emerged from Yamikumo's body.
When the fire died, Yamikumo appears with a somewhat changed appearance, surprising everyone. His skin has a reddish color, his veins protrude from his body, his eyes were covered by fire, his hood had fallen showing, while covering his hair, fire that took the shape of his hair and his body was surrounded by an aura of fire.
- "What did you do?"- Asked Shigaraki.
- "I call this form, Fire Soul. I use my fire to power up my body hence the appearance." –
After this, Yamikumo gave a quick sigh and giving a strong stomp, the fire that surrounded his body took the form of a dragon the same size as the Nomu. After a roar, the fire dragon headed for Nomu and, to everyone's surprise, managed to send it flying a few meters back.
Without wasting the opportunity, Yamikumo caught up with Nomu and unleashed a series of blows and kicks of fire, ending with Nomu in the air. Propelling himself towards the Nomu, Yamikumo hit him with a spinning kick sending the Nomu to the ground. Yamikumo turned to his right arm, seeing how it was starting to lose its Fire Soul state. - "I can't keep this form any longer. This will be my last attack."- Landing, Yamikumo prepared his right fist to hit the Nomu. His fist caught fire and he charged towards the Nomu. – "I'll take one from Endeavor's book"- When his fist hit the Nomu the fire began to spread through the Nomu's body. – "Fire Soul! PROMINENCE BURN!" - After the mighty scream, a huge number of flames emerged from Yamikumo's fist. After a few seconds the Nomu flew out and crashed against the wall.
When the smoke cleared, Nomu's body was lying on the ground, covered in multiple burns and unable to move or respond to Shigaraki's orders. - "N-NO! He cheated! The Nomu was supposed to defeat All Might, not to lose against a student!"- He then turned at Yamikumo. – "You! If I can't kill All Might, at least I'll kill you!"- Shigaraki then charged at Yamikumo, the boy tried to move but the Fire Soul state leaved him completely exhausted. Shigaraki was about to reach Yamikumo but suddenly…
- "Have no fear! Because I am HERE!"- All Might appeared between the villain and Yamikumo, punching the villain away from Yamikumo. – "Young Atanagi, are you okay?"-
- "Just in time All Might. I'll be fine I just need to rest."-
- "Shit! Kurogiri, let's go!"- The mist villain quickly wrapped both villains away.
After a few minutes of silence, the ambient relaxed a little bit.
- "Yami-kun!"- Both, the hero and student saw Kinoko running towards them, followed by other students. Kinoko hugged Yamikumo making both fall to the floor. Yamikumo returned the hug. – "It's okay. I'm fine"- He said to her ear, while she was crying.
After a few minutes, the rest of the teachers and the police arrived, and the students told the police what happened.
- "Good time you arrived at time All Might. Good job defeating that thing."- Said Midnight while looking at the Nomu's body.
- "I didn't defeat it. Young Atanagi did"- All the heroes were surprised by this revelation, a student defeated something created to kill All Might, they al stared at the boy, who was being treated by recovery girl.
And this is how the USJ incident ended.

…
Unknown place.
Shigaraki emerged from a portal, then a voice was heard from a screen – "So, how did it went?"-
- "Sensei! Your Nomu was useless, it didn't even fight against All Might, it was defeated by student. A single student!"- Shigaraki said with rage.
- "A student, huh? Do you know his or her name?"- Asked the voice.
- "No. But I remember his face, I will have my revenge."-
- "Calm down Tomura Shigaraki. Use this experience to learn and next time you will succeed."-
