IN THE STAFF ROOM
AT THIRD PERSON POV
The staff room overlooking the War Games battlefield was buzzing with tension, but a different kind of tension than the chaos below. Nezu's small frame was perched on a chair, whiskers twitching as he adjusted his glasses and focused intently on the screens. All Might leaned forward over the railing, practically vibrating with excitement, while Hawks lounged with his binoculars, casually observing every movement. Power Loader, Mei Hatsume's teacher, had wandered in, curiosity etched on his face. And, of course, Aizawa sat at the corner, scarf draped lazily, eyes narrowing at the unfolding battle. Nezu perked up his ears.
"Hm… there. That Quirkless transfer student, Michael, yes, is moving off the main group with another student, greer haired… Midoriya."Nezu said.
"All Might! Look!" Hawks said, pointing casually. "They're heading down the alley to the northwest! That's a strange move for a first year. They're not following the class formation"
All Might squinted, his grin stretching wide.
"Yes! I see them! They're… coordinating! Quietly, deliberately, but independently! Incredible for first years!"All might said.
Aizawa's deadpan voice cut through.
"They're not just moving. They're controlling space, isolating threats. Michael is giving subtle commands, Midoriya is relaying observations. It's calculated."Aizawa said.
Nezu's tail twitched.
"I see! Michael is directing, while Midoriya provides real time information. Quiet, efficient, and completely off the radar of the other students. Fascinating."Nezu smirked.
Power Loader leaned over the railing, eyebrows raised.
"I can't believe it… Mei would be ecstatic. These gadgets all working as designed. The timing, the coordination… it's flawless."He said.
Hawks smirked.
"Check it out. The first scout is approaching the corner. Michael positions himself subtly, almost like he's invisible. Midoriya is whispering cadence into the device."Hawks said.
"Yes!" Nezu's voice perked up. "Notice the count. Michael waits for the exact moment, the scout's pivot and pause and deploys a clamp precisely at the strap of his pack. Scout one stumbles, balance completely ruined. They never even knew what hit them."He said.
Aizawa's dark eyes flicked toward the battlefield.
"Scout two notices the commotion but overcommits. Michael predicted this. A mini net pins his legs in an instant. Both targets neutralized silently. Controlled, efficient execution."Aizawa said.
All Might's grin widened impossibly.
"By All Might! That's heroic precision! Quirkless or not, Michael is proving that strategy and timing can rival any Quirk! And Midoriya is supporting flawlessly, relaying counts, movements, and patterns. Amazing teamwork!"He said.
Power Loader shook his head, muttering under his breath.
"The clamp, the net, the timing… Mei would be so proud. Whoever designed those gadgets knew exactly what to expect from a tactical operator like Michael."Power Loader said.
"And look at how they melt back into the environment afterward. No one else notices. No applause, no flashy moves, just results. That's efficiency. That's control."Hawks said.
Nezu twitched his whiskers furiously.
"It's not just efficiency. Michael is reading the battlefield, controlling the rhythm. Midoriya is providing feedback without interfering. The synergy is… exquisite. Observation, anticipation, execution."Nezu said.
All Might's eyes sparkled.
"Exactly! And the fact that they're staying completely silent, no spectacle, no risk to themselves beyond what's necessary, that's hero instinct! I love it! Pure hero instinct!"He said.
Aizawa's gaze lingered, unwavering.
"They're maintaining composure, low profile, and still achieving results. That is rare in rookies Michael's directing, Midoriya's calculating, together they're a unit the others can't disrupt. They're rewriting the engagement model quietly."He added.
Power Loader leaned closer, muttering to himself.
"Look at that deployment again… the net catches the second scout mid-pivot. No resistance, no struggle. Perfect mechanical efficiency. Mei would be thrilled to see this in action."Power Loader said.
Nezu's ears twitched like a metronome.
"Notice the subtle cues between them. Michael signals with his body, barely perceptible. Midoriya picks up the cues, whispers the timing into the device. Scout two is fully immobilized before he can react. Quiet, precise… and effective."He said.
All Might's voice boomed with excitement.
"That's exactly the kind of hero behavior I've been hoping to see! Even without a Quirk, Michael and Midoriya are showing tactical genius in the field! The potential here is limitless!"All might added.
Hawks smirked again, eyes tracking the two.
"I'll admit it… Michael is impressive. He reads, predicts, executes. Midoriya is perfect support, the ideal combination. They could neutralize an entire squad quietly if they wanted."Hawks added.
Nezu twitched again.
"And they're completely under the radar. The rest of Class 1-A is running wild, drawing attention, but Michael and Midoriya move silently, controlling two opponents without a single loud Quirk display. This is… exquisite control."Nezu said.
"That's rare for rookies. I'll continue monitoring them closely. The moment one mistake is made, I'll know."Aizwa said.
Power Loader muttered, clearly impressed.
"I can already see the tactical notes Mei will write after seeing this. She'll want to study Michael's timing, the net deployment, and the clamp usage. This is a live test of her tech at its best."He said.
All Might's grin seemed to grow impossibly wider.
"Two rookies, one Quirkless, one calculating like a prodigy, working perfectly together. I cannot wait to see what else they can do!"All might said happily.
Nezu twitched his whiskers again, almost vibrating with excitement.
"I want to see the next engagement. Quiet, coordinated, unobserved by the others. This is teaching us more than just tactics, it's showing true hero instinct."Nezu agreed.
From the staff room, every eye followed Michael and Midoriya as they melted into shadows, neutralizing the two scouts with surgical precision. The rest of the class ran around wildly, unaware, while these two silent operators quietly dominated their small battlefield. And every staff member, from Aizawa's cold gaze to Hawks casual smirk to Nezu's excited whiskers, knew they were witnessing something exceptional. Something they wouldn't forget.
All Might leaned over the railing, practically vibrating with excitement, while Hawks lounged casually with his binoculars, following every subtle move. Power Loader and Mei Hatsume arrived and huddled near the screens, her eyes sparkling with barely contained excitement. More UA staff had arrived: Recovery Girl leaned forward, arms crossed, eyes sharp and analytical. Present Mic, usually boisterous, stood quiet, staring at the battlefield with open mouthed astonishment. Gran Torino leaned against the back wall, shaking his head, muttering under his breath. Even Aizawa, seated in the corner with his scarf draped lazily, maintained a sharp, calculating gaze. Nezu twitched his whiskers, clearing his throat to announce over the PA.
"Attention all observers: Michael, the Quirkless transfer student, and Midoriya have successfully neutralized two Shiketsu scouts. Scouts Saito and Morita are confirmed down. Both engagements were executed quietly, efficiently, and without injury. Observers are encouraged to note tactical coordination, gadget usage, and subtle Quirk support."
"Two down?! That's amazing! Every gadget, every clamp, every net is working perfectly! Michael… you're incredible!"Mei said happily.
Power Loader nodded, voice calm but impressed.
"This is exactly what we hoped to see from tactical deployment. Timing, coordination, mechanical efficiency… textbook execution."He said.
Hawks smirked, following the duo on the monitors.
"They're quiet, precise, and completely under the radar. That's tactical mastery, even for pros. And Midoriya is perfect support, reading cues, relaying observations, everything synced flawlessly."Hawks added.
Recovery Girl leaned forward, voice soft but firm.
"They're anticipating every move… protecting themselves while neutralizing threats. That's hero instinct in practice, even for rookies." Recovery girl said.
"I… I can't even describe how insane this is. Two first years… controlling the battlefield like veterans! "President Mic said.
Gran Torino shook his head, voice low and incredulous.
"Two kids… orchestrating chaos better than most pros I have trained. That's not luck. That's skill, pure, raw skill."He grinned.
All Might leaned forward, grin stretching impossibly wide.
"By All Might! Even without a Quirk, Michael is proving that brains and timing rival any superpower! And Midoriya… supporting flawlessly! Amazing teamwork!"All might added.
Aizawa's dark gaze swept the battlefield.
"They're maintaining composure, low profile, and still achieving results. Rare in rookies. Michael's directing, Midoriya's calculating, together, a unit the others cannot disrupt. Quiet, efficient, effective"All might added.
"Observe carefully, everyone. Michael signals subtly with his body, Midoriya reacts instantly via the device. Scouts Saito and Morita were immobilized before they could even process the threat. Silent, precise, and completely controlled."Nezu said.
All across the staff room, eyes remained locked on the monitors. Hawks' casual smirk widened slightly, All Might's grin seemed impossibly larger, Gran Torino shook his head in disbelief, Recovery Girl's expression was full of admiration, and Mei could barely contain her excitement. Even Aizawa's normally deadpan gaze reflected a faint, almost imperceptible acknowledgment of skill. Nezu's whiskers twitched again.
"Michael and Midoriya move silently through the battlefield, controlling the outcome without drawing attention. This engagement is more than tactics, it's a lesson in hero instinct, precision, and teamwork. Observe closely; there's much to learn."Nezu said.
The staff room was silent for a moment, all watching the monitors as the two first years melted into the shadows, their small, surgical victories already reshaping the battle. For the assembled UA teachers and pro heroes, this was extraordinary. They were witnessing something exceptional, something unforgettable.
