Chapter 61

"I'd rather you not do that," Yuna said as she the raven flew at Shishikura's side at the same time Bakugo sent shot at Shishikura's front. Yuna didn't notice Kaminari's tempory grin at her round-about compliment as Shishikura was able to use his flesh to create a shield for himself and block Bakugo and Yuna's attacks.

That's when Yuna noticed the piece of flesh heading toward Bakugo from behind. She quickly drew the Draco constellation and attempted to have it knock the flesh away from Bakugo, she was too slow.

"You've left yourself open," Shishikura said as the flesh grabbed Bakugo and dodged Yuna's dragon, which then flew past Bakugo so fast it wasn't able to slow down and slammed into the wall. Yuna felt a jolt of phantom pain corse through her as Shishikura continued. "You weren't paying attention. I had a piece of flesh sneak beneath us. You saw earlier with Kirishima, once I touch you, you're my plaything."

"Bakugo!" Kaminari yelled, running toward Bakugo.

"Hey, hold on!" Yuna shouted, not wanting him to get hit by the flesh too.

However it seemed like Bakugo had some sort of plan as he shouted beneath the flesh, "Hey! Idiot! Fix this!" Before tossing something to Kaminari.

"Pathetic. You must be remade from scratch." Shishikura said. "This is a demonstration. The test has an unusually low passing rate. At first this seemed counterintuitive given the current state of our world. With All Might retired, wouldn't it make more sense to flood the streets with heroes? And so, I must assume that their goal is to weed out the riffraff. We can surmise that they're starting to be more selective in order to bring the profession of hero to a higher level. And I agree with this thinking. So I decided to thin the herd myself."

"You're ignoring the test because you think you're superior?" Kaminari questioned. "What are you, crazy?"

"I'm simply separating the mediocre and extraordinary," Shishikura answered as he stepped on the meatball that was Kirishima. "By the way, your comrades here still feel pain in this form. Your untamed electricity will torture your friends if you use it."

"Yeah, ok, but what gives you the right to think you're good enough to judge everyone else?" Yuna asked, stepping forward to stand next to Kaminari. She glared at Shishikura fiercely, "It's not your place to determine other people's worth. Saying that it is just shows me how disgustingly self-centered you are."

"Yeah, and you've been doing nothing but hurling insults at us this entire time. I'm kinda starting to take it personally, you know." Kaminari added as he grabbed whatever Bakugo had thrown him and held it behind his back. Yuna glanced at him and he gave her a confident smirk.

"Clearly one of you is much more self-aware than the other. I'd take time to reflect on your failure." Shishikura said as he sent more flesh bullets flying at them.

Yuna was about to draw a constellation, but Kaminari lightly shoved her with his shoulder to stop her as he threw a small grenade at the flesh. It exploded and Yuna summoned the shield again to block the piece that was about to fly at Kaminari. It fell on the floor and the shield fadded.

"By the way, big shot. You've stumbled into a really killer spot!" Kaminari exclaimed as he aimed his hand at Shishikura and lightning surrounded him before it shot out of his figure and through Shishikura to connect with the red disks behind him. Shishikura screamed as he was electricuted.

Yuna smiled at Kaminari's success. He had told her all about his new fighting style and showed her his new gear, but this was the first time she was actually seeing it in action. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't impressed, especially comparing it to where he had been at during the start of the year.

"Listen up," Kaminari started once he stopped zapping Shishikura with electricity. "Bakugo might seem like a total jerk on the surface, but he's actually trying really hard to be a pro hero. He threw that grenade at me while being attacked. That was a result of calm judgement and planning. And Kirishima is such a good dude that he rushed into enemy territory for his friends, even though it was a totally stupid things to do. And Yuna could probably take you on by herself, but she knew how to take a support role to make this fight easier. You only know bits and pieces about them. Don't insult something you don't know!"

As he was talking, Kirishima and Bakugo began to morph back into their normal forms. By the time Shishikura yelled, "I'll teach you to be aware of your place!" they were completely back to normal and Shishikura was cut off by Kirishima punching him in the gut. Then Bakugo sent him flying with an explosion.

"The more damage he takes, the more people get released," Kirishima stated.

"So that's why he was only using long distance attack," Bakugo added as Shishikura hit the ground.

"Thanks for the save Kaminari, Azumi," Kirishima said, smiling at them.

"I didn't really do much, it was mostly Denki," Yuna replied with a shrug.

"You idiots! What took so long?" Bakugo yelled.

"Why are you being so mean? No one's gonna ever like you if you keep being so mean!" Kaminari retorted.

"Guys, I don't think it's over," Yuna interrupted, nodding to the students behind Kirishima and Bakugo who had previously been flesh balls.

"Looks like we've got targets," Bakugo said with a smirk.

"Let's get this over with," Yuna added, redrawing the raven constellation and handing it a ball. "We're starting to run out of time."

"Are you serious?" Kaminari questioned with a panicked look on his face. "We just finished fighting the flesh guy and now we gotta fight these people?"

"There's enough for everyone, so we can all pass as long as we're fast enough," Kirishima said.

Kaminari let out a sigh and Yuna gave him a smile before she sent her raven flying toward the still dazed looking students and the boys jumped into battle.

-Author Note-

So, I thought I posted this yesterday, but apparently it didn't go through or something. I realized this today and so I'm posting it now. Sorry about that. I'm pretty sure I at least tried to post this, but whatever. I think Wattpad has done this to me before, that or I just completely forgot or something. But anyways, here's the chapter now.

Again, sorry about missing it yesterday, but I hope you all have a great day!
