Regret and Grudge

The Big Three

"You're Midroiya, right? Tell me, what's it like to steal a quirk? Does it feel like you're eating something or-"

"DO NOT ASK ME HOW IT FEELS TO STEAL SOMEONE'S QUIRK!" Everyone backed away a little from Midoriya as he got something off his chest. "IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME, YOU'D UNDERSTAND THAT I DESPISE STEALING QUIRKS FROM PEOPLE TO THE POINT IT'S PHYSICALLY NAUSEATING FOR ME TO ATTEMPT IT! NOW SOMEONE TELL ME HOW THIS WOMAN IS ONE OF THE TOP THREE AS WELL AS THE GUY WITH HIS HEAD ON THE WALL LOOKING LIKE HE'S ABOUT TO PEE HIMSELF BEFORE I ACTUALLY DO GO OFF!"

'Wow...He literally said the exact words I was thinking and about to say.' I sat somewhat surprised before the final one spoke up.

"Ok then. I guess it's my turn then. To answer your question Midoriya, I think a demonstration is a little better to understand. You mind, Mr. Aizawa?"

"Something tells me Midoriya won't accept the act you three are the top unless you face him. Uraraka. You and Midoriya are gonna face off against all three."

"What!?" Both of us got up from our seats in shock as Mr. Aizawa continued.

"You both were planning on calling out all three of them, so it's only natural that you two face off against them. Those that wish to talk big must act big. That's how the world goes. If you truly do not believe you are strong enough to handle these two, then you would've never mouthed off. Or did you just want to act big under the false pretense that you both are the strongest?" I could tell Mr. Aizawa meant this as we both had some belief we were strong enough to take on The Big Three without actually knowing about them. However, I knew the blond guy had to be something worthwhile if he worked with Nighteye.

"Alright then. I'm down for seeing where my limits are if you all are." Midoriya smirked at this as we all began walking towards the changing room to get ready.

'Something tells me our mouths got us into this.'

In gym Gamma, 3rd person POV:

The members of class A and the Big three were standing in the middle of the schools training gym with Izuku and Ochako preparing to face the top three. "So serious question. Are we really going to face the top three students. I'm not saying that we're the most powerful, but we aren't slouches either." Izuku asked as he watched the three stretch.

"Don't worry. We're not gonna have a problem handling it. Go at us with all you've got." Togata mentioned with some confidence to throw everyone off.

"Ok. But don't say we didn't warn you."

"Don't worry, Midoriya. I'm sure even Ryukyu would look in favor of this since she'd get a better idea what she's walking into with you." Hado pointed this out to surprise Izuku before he pointed his palm at her.

"Alright then. AIR FORCE!" A blast of wind came at the three for Nejire to hold her hand out.

"Power output 40% Nejire Wave!" A spiraling wave of energy came out of the third year girl for it to defuse the attack made by Izuku with some shock.

'Ok. That was kinda cool.'

"Thinking about how interesting that is won't do you any good." Amajiki came beside Izuku for him to be unable to realize what was happening.

'Dammit. I let my guard down.'

"SMASH!" Ochako came at the dark haired third year with some confidence. "Sorry, but I'm also curious how I stack up against you three." She took a closer look at Amaiki to see he had created a strange coating over his face that looked more like some kind of shell.

"Crab was a good call for this morning, am I right, Amajiki?" Togata laughed at this before Izuku went right for him.

"LETS SEE HOW YOU ALL LAUGH AT THIS! ANIMAL MORPHASIS! BEAR CLAWS!" Izuku activated a body altering quirk that turned his hands into bear claws while also activating another to make another set of arms as a pile on. As he came close to the third year, his clothes began falling off him to surprise everyone.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING IN FRONT OF A CROWD!?" Jirou shouted from where she was trying to cover her eyes.

"Sorry! My quirk is a little finicky sometimes!"

Mirio tried to put his clothes back on while Izuku noticed an opening. 'Is this guy really part of the top three students? He left himself wide open while I'm attacking.' "BEAR SLASH X4!" Izuku let loose a massive barrage at the third year for everyone to think this was going to end gory. However, Izuku noticed something odd about his attacks to jump back towards Ochako.

"What happened? How'd you miss?"

"I didn't. At least, I shouldn't have."

"Real head scratcher. Am I right? How about I give you a demonstration of what I can do." Togata disappeared from eye view for both first years to go wide eyed.

"WHERE'D HE GO!?"

"Behind you." Togata popped up behind both Izuku and Ochkao to give them both a solid punch to the stomachs before running back and grabbing his pants. "POWWEEEEEERRRRR!!!" Both were about to kneel down before getting a hold of themselves to stare at the three. "Not bad. I caught you all by surprise and you're still standing."

"Can I start next!? Can I!?" Hado spoke up with joy for neither Togata or Amajiki to mind. She went for Ochako this time for her to create an air pressure attack with 20% of OFA. "So you can do mid range attacks too? That's really awesome of a way to use your quirk." The third year sent out another spiraling wave as she floated in the air. This forced the two to cancel out one another and Izuku to get close towards Hado. "So the first attack was a decoy? That's really smart of you two."

"I really hate using this one, but you're not givng me a choice. Forced Quirk Deactivation." Izuku activated AFO in hopes to take the blue haired girl's quirk temporarily and level the field for him and Ochako. But just as he was about to, Togata popped out of the ground behind Hado about to give a roundhouse. "YOU IDIOT! YOU'RE GONNA HIT YOUR OWN TEAMMATE IF YOU ATTACK FROM THERE!" Togata didn't listen as he continued his attack with the kick going right through Hado's head and hitting Izuku in the face. He fell back to the ground in a crater before standing up.

"MIDORIYA!" Ochako tried to run towards him with Amajiki coming behind her and trapping her in his octopus tentacles. "THE HELL!?"

"I've been eating a lot of takoyaki in my internship. In it, I've learned that the best way to stop a villain is to restrict and take out their ability to fight back. Though you're not one, the same method applies here."

Izuku tried to understand the quirks he was seeing and how they worked for nothing to click. 'One has the ability to turn his body parts into that of animals. But if that's the case, why is he saying that his eating habits are responsible. The one girl can make spiraling waves. She's not using them in an offensive manner, but is able to counter my attacks somehow. Not only that, but the blond one is disappearing and reappearing without any exact way of knowing how. Is it teleportation? No. That wouldn't make any sense with what I witnessed. Not only that, but it wouldn't explain popping up from the ground. The only logic I can think of is some kind of intangibility quirk. But how is he going underground at that point then? Is his quirk more complex than that?'

"That's it." Izuku looked over to see Aizawa walk in front of the group. "We're calling it there. I'm sure you all understand there's a wide gap between these two and an example as to why they're stronger. Now let's recap what you all learned." Izuku felt somewhat ashamed of himself for not being able to comprehend anything or even lay a finger on any of the Big Three.

'So this is what the top three are.'

And that finishes this chapter. So just so people know, the 3 vs 2 is an example how the two strongest in class 1-A could not make any progress whatsoever against the Big Three. In Izuku's case, he couldn't even land a single hit on any of them with Ochako's only solid punch doing absolutely nothing. For these two, that's a painful pill to swallow knowing you couldn't last against either one even with decent teamwork. See what happens next time with the Internships. Hope you all enjoyed and thanks for reading.
