>>> Todoroki POV <<<
"Hey Midoria, where the hell is Amara?" I asked my green haired friend. This was the first-time class A got to challenge class B to a fight and Amara was late. "Didn't you guys plan to meet up early before class?"
"I'm so sorry! I banged on her door but she didn't respond. So, I figured she needed the sleep." Midoria whimpered with his hands posed defensively.
"Damn it." I heart Mr Aizawa cuss to himself. He side-eyed Mr Vlad, the other teacher consciously. Competitive spirit was thick in the air between our classes, it lingered like a foul odour. Mr Vlad smirked, looking at his class triumphantly.
"I guess this Amara Aizawa person isn't as bad as they say she is." Monoma, Class B's self-avowed spokesperson spoke up. "She's not even here! She will never be successful if she is always late." He spat with a wicked grin.
"Shell be here." Mr Aizawa grouched.
Winter was here; the air felt like ice. So when the heat picked up everyone noticed. I could see the confusion dance along the blank faces around me. When lightning struck the ground, everyone stumbled backwards in shock. Our eyes became blinded for a moment from the sheer intensity of light. When my eyes adjusted, my bi-colored orbs noticed my beautiful girlfriend Amara standing there. Her face flowered into a grin as she held my gaze.
Her new hero costume was shaped like a full piece swimming suit, made entirely out of shimmering, black scales. My eyes were quick to notice the new costume; it was so revealing I felt my face light up. The centre part was cut out, showing off her slightly toned abs up to the middle of her sternum. Showing off her underboob cleavage. Her thigh high boots laced up the entirety of her shins and knees, stopping halfway up her thighs. Her arms were bare, for a reason I didn't know. The one piece cut off just under her collar ones, but around her neck she wore what looked like a choker with thick metal spikes around it.
"Amara, what time do you call this?" Mr Aizawa grumbled at her. Amara smiled as she rubbed the back of her head. I heard numerous whispers and murmurs from the large group, all talking about how hot my girlfriend is.
"Amara, your costume.....really suits you." Mineta drooled as he gawked at her hour glass figure.
"Todoroki your girlfriend is totally banging." Kirishima leaned in closer to me and muttered. I chose to ignore him and inch closer to my short girlfriend.
"You look beautiful I mouthed to her, before I watched her angelic face blossom into a grin causing my heart to glow.
"I'm sorry I'm late! I forgot to pick up my hero costume yesterday so I had to wait a bit to get it this morning." She said loudly.
"As late as she is, she sure shut class B up. Look at them." Midoriya pointed out as he walked closer to us. I glanced over at the opposing huddle of class B and saw them all staring at Amara.
>>> Amara POV <<<
With my hearing I could hear all the comments from everyone around me, including Yaoyorozu's jealous comments about my body. I couldn't help but smirk at the pathetic state of the people here. The only person who seemed indifferent to my new costume is Bakugo. I asked for some adjustments to my hero costume and it didn't actually take that long to make because it doesn't need a lot of material.
"Alright, now that everyone's here I'll be introducing a new person who'd like to switch to the hero track. Hitoshi Shinsou." Dad announced loudly, I heard footsteps of Shinso as he walked towards us with tired eyes. "Treat him as you would any classmate."
Shinso stood before everyone with a stoic expression. He narrowed his eyes as he introduced himself and explained his motives. Blah, blah...blah. I was kind of sick of this Shinso guy since I had been seeing him everyday, morning and night secretly. Prepping him for this.
"Wait sir, with Shinso and Amara there will be 42 people total." I heard someone from class B speak up.
"Yep. So Shinso and Amara will participate in 2 matches. Alternating classes as well to make it fair." Mr Vlad replied as he held up 2 fingers. "So there will be some matches with 5 against 5, rather than 4 against 4, you'll win when you capture 4 of your competitors." Mr Vlad explained.
"So, one match I'll be with class B?" I asked.
"Yep, seems fair to me." He said simply before brushing me aside and going forth to explain the training further. I lacked understanding of how exactly that was fair. Fair for who?
The teachers began to organise the groups and then they set Shinso's groups. I was set to fight in the 1st match with class B. People I have never really spoken to or seen before. All it seems I had to do was capture 4 people form the other team; aka class A.
"Because this isn't weird." I complained to my Dad.
"You'll be fine Amara."
The alarm tore through the air, making my ears throb. I stood with the class B group and I already felt the tension between us. The awkward tension, these people didn't know me and I didn't know them.
"So Amara. We don't have enough time to tell you our plan so try not to get into the way." The guy with light brown hair grumbled at me.
"We have heaps of time." I spat. I felt the people flinch around me before they huddled together and whispered amongst themselves. "Tch, you know I can hear you right?" I said in a monotone. I heard them gasp each shyly with their backs turned to me.
"You're from class A so we don't trust you. You'll give away our tactical secrets." Tsuburaba said as he pointed a rude finger at me.
"Uh huh." I replied in a dead voice. Hearing them speak was losing me brain cells. The alarm with Mr Vlad's voice screeched through the air. The class B members snapped into action. Shisida and Tsuburaba ran ahead, leaving me with the Vine girl Shiozaki and the other guy who I believed his name to be Rin.
"Don't get in our way Amara, you'll sabotage us so your class wins." Rin spat at me, I rolled my dark eyes at him but listened.
Boredom got the best of me, I found myself playing with my ice quirk. I practiced making perfect orbs of ice and tried juggling them within my tense arms. It wasn't long until Shisida came back alone.
"They took Tsuburaba" He said hoarsely. "Oh well now we know about Shinso's voice changer. So if we grab him and Asui and ignore Kaminari, then there's no way we can lose." He continued.
"Sounds about right. There's no way we lost Tsuburaba so easily though." Rin said as he held a finger to his chin. I felt my ears twitch at the sound of movement coming from varying angles, I was about to say something until Shisida beat me too it.
"This will sound strange, but I can smell 3 Asui's coming towards us."
"3 frogs? If that's their strategy they must be trying to throw off your sense of smell." Rin deduced.
"If that's so I must chastise them" Shiozaki said as she sent her vines out in a slow flurry in any and every direction. They reminded me of snakes.
"Hey Amara. Do you know anything about Asui being able to multiply?" Rin asked me.
"Oh, you want my help now?" I reiterated.
"Ugh, don't worry about it." He said dispirited and went back to focusing on the task at hand. I heard the vines crunch before they dragged someone along the surface of the concrete.
"Oh wait, Shisida you seem to have something stuck to you." Rin said as he stared at the red marker on Shisida's pants. "Looks like something from Kaminari's gear."
"1 person captured, I will drag them into the light." I heard Vine girl state in a monotone as he vines wriggled.
"Better get ready, we don't know who it is. It could be Kaminari!" Rin exclaimed before the entire group tensed up. Surely enough Kaminari was the one to get captured.
"Of course you got captured." I chuckled to myself and decided now was the time to act; I sprung myself into action. I swiftly began to run towards Kaminari until I felt someone grab me. I turned to see Rin holding me back.
"I said to stay back, we got this." He spat angrily at me before Shiozaki created a thick ball of vines to trap Kaminari.
"Y'know, as someone with an electricity quirk as well you should probably take my advice." I said suggestively but my words fell on deaf ears. A sigh escaped my lips as I tore off the grip Rin had on me. Kaminari sent a bolt of electricity towards the marker on Shisida, the bolt broke though the ball of vines. The scent of singed plants reverberated through my nostrils, itching them.
The marker got blown off and Kaminari's electricity spiked off to the side. A sigh escaped my lips, I knew in my gut that Class B was going to lose at this rate. Tsu stepped in and began attacking Rin and man, he was losing. I stepped in and swiped away at Tsu's tongue. It bounded away and I felt my heart strings tug. Tsu had always been so nice to me.
"Amara, I don't want to hurt you." Shy told me from afar, causing my lips to turn upright into a smile.
"You won't be able to hurt me if you tried." I chuckled as I began to channel my fire. I sent a few horridly aimed streams of fire at the girl, easy for her to evade; for a purpose. I noticed Tsu begin to slow down as she began to underestimate my speed. Within an instant, I switched to my ice quirk. A blue net of ice exploded out of my palm. Wide enough to hit Tsu no matter how far she ran, the ice trapped her; immobilising her.
"We did it!" Rin exclaimed. I felt myself snap before I sent a hardened fist to the side of his face. His consciousness left him like a blown light bulb.
Now all that was left was Shinso. With my advanced hearing I could hear the scrapes and scratched of a fight bursting from deep within the chambers. I followed the noises, showing off the fruit of my new costume; I felt black wings slither out of my shoulder blades. I unleashed my tail, its length to help distribute my body weight to make flying easier. I stretched my wings out, feeling the bones creak with joy before I launched into the air.
Flight was easy, I made my way to the top of the tower within mere seconds. I heard the fight deep within the darkened chambers. I folded my wings to my sides as I felt my eyes narrow. As a precaution I kept my skin hardened as I waded through the complex web of pipes. I slowly made it to the two, eyeing them both as they struggled ti win against each other. I felt my lips twist into a grin as I knew this was my chance to get pay back on the annoying Purple-Haired dude.
"Amara! What are you doing here?" I heard the beat guy ask me. But I knew it wasn't really him. It was Shinso's voice changer. The beast guy must've seen the smouldering look in my darkened orbs because he moved out of the way. I slowly approached Shinso who flung a string of his binding cloth.
I caught it within my hardened hands and pulled it into me. Shinso's eyes widened as his body flung towards me with immense speed. Within the blink of an eye, he flung painfully into a hardened fist. He grunted within my arms before I picked him up from his hair.
"Amara that hurts." Shinso whined breathlessly as I dragged him along the dirtied floor. I heard the beast guy follow closely behind us. I hoisted Shinso up before I threw him out of the pipe complex. His uniform rippled as he fell through the air.
I had to abstain from laughing, Shinso had been annoying me for weeks. So being able to retaliate felt amazing. I peered down at the guy, who had already recollected himself and stared directly into my eyes.
I became aware of the timer so I knew I had to be quick, with my body still hardened. I unfolded my giant dark wings and glided down to the ground swiftly. My boots indenting the ground underneath my weight. Shinso seemed to kick into action hen be began to attack.
Shinso swung at me with great force, before a horrid snap followed by his blood curdling screams followed. He slumped backwards, his hand crumpled like a trampled flower. His bones shattered like shards of ice within a plastic bag. He grunted sharply and clutched his broken hand. He should've known better – I thought I taught him better than to try and hit me with my hardened skin; it was like an armour.
I heart Tsu's heart beat wane from inside her frozen chest, as if she had fallen asleep. I felt my face harden in concentration as I shifted the ice around her, freeing Shy's sleeping body and letting it slide down an ice slide safely. With one hand I gently picked Shy up. My forearm hoisted underneath her abdomen, she felt almost weightless.
My darkened eyes glanced at Shinso, who seemed to jump out of his skin when our eyes met. I began my advance towards him and with my other free hand I lifted my arm up, palm facing him. A soft mist of frozen air dripped from the pores of my skin before it hardened.
A stream of sky-blue ice lined the ground, crawling its way to Shinso's shoes. The shoes became stuck in place making it easier for me to catch him.
He struggled within my hardened grip, reminding me of a fish stuck on a fishing line; however, with the same inevitability that he was caught. With Tsu's unconscious body in one hand, and Shinso squirming like a worm in my other hand. I carried them both towards the jail.
My strong wings effortlessly carried the three of us through the air before I threw them both into the jail. Almost immediately after an alarm went off to signal the training exercise was over. From behind the bars, Shinso sent me an angry glare, but I couldn't help but smile at him.
"Nice try." I said coyly. Before I spun on my heels and began to walk back to class. I felt my legs tire at the long journey ahead, the stairs back up the viewing platform seemed endless. After the feeling of the cold floor sliding along my dragon tail, I brought it along with my giant wings back into my body. Leaving me with my boring human form. I reached the top and everyone that was there turned to stare at me.
"What the hell was that?" Mr Vlad spat at me.
"Um, The Class B team won. Thought you'd be happy." I chided.
"You stood there and did nothing for the first half of the drill. And when you did engage, you knocked one of my students unconscious." He frowned.
"Maybe." I ground my teeth together as I felt my eyes form slits. "Maybe you should teach your class to be more accepting of help and to be flexible enough to work with anyone." I growled as I poked an angry finger into the Teacher's chest. "They told me not to help and they treated me like I was an enemy." I reiterated with narrowed eyes. Mr Vlad's face crunched together into an angry glare.
"They did what?" He seethed before he pushed past me and away from my view.
"You did great!" I heard Midoriya say as he, Uraraka and Shoto inched towards me.
"You think? Did you see that new thing I could do? With my wings and tail!" I felt myself giggle excitedly, only to feel embarrassed by the contrasting scowls I received.
"You seemed very violent towards Shinso." Shoto interjected. I couldn't read his tone but didn't think much else of it. Soon my whole class came up to me, smiles mixed with shock colored their faces.
"Can we talk about your dragon wings and tail?" Kirishima exclaimed. "You've never done that before."
"Yeah." I smiled. "It's a new thing I've been working on." I admitted. My mentoring to Shinso had been a secret, as per my Father's orders. So no one knew that we had been meeting in secret, catching up on the hero content and training together.
"Doesn't excuse your aggressiveness towards Shinso, you just met the guy." Midoriya interjected. I sent Shoto a nervous glance; he knew that I met Shinso a while ago. But he didn't know I was mentoring him; I considered Shinso to be a friend. As annoying and flirty as he is.
"I guess I took it too far." I sighed with folded arms.
"You dragged the guy by his hair." Uraraka scolded me. "For someone who's trying to switch to our hero course you were awfully mean to him."
"Amara. Come here." Dad spoke up loudly. He stared at me as he motioned his hand for me to line up next to all the students that participated. I guess I was in for it now; the lecturing begins.
