~~~~~
It was Monday and all the students were back in class. Meanwhile, some were laughing at Bakugo's state, all the girls were surrounding Aoi who seemed lifeless.
"AOIIIII DON'T DIE!!!!" Mina said screaming
"I just don't feel anything, today all my muscles were so sore that even the lightest step makes me feel pain" Aoi replied almost out of breath
"Now now, everybody got a hard week, but I guess you had the hardest regarding physical training," Aikou said while caressing Aoi's hair
"Well we know what Aoi did, what did you guys do?" Mina asked
"Oh! I went with this really nice hero who helped me meet a bunch of producers and took me on patrol" Niji answered with sparkles in her eyes
"I got to fight some villains! well my dad did most of the work, I only made sure they wouldn't go wild" Aikou answered still caressing Aoi
"You got to fight villains?!" Mina asked excitedly "I am so jealous!"
"I only got to help evacuate some people and provided support" Jiro added
"That still sounds so cool!" Mina replied
"I only trained and went on patrols, but I did help capture some contrabands in the end," Tsuyu said "What about you Hakkotsu?"
"I went with one of the nocturnal heroes... we only did patrol and he well..." Hakkotsu started feeling embarrassed
"What happened?" Aikou asked
"He actually presented me to his agency and wants me to work with them in the future" She answered almost whispering
"That is impressive! I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU HAKKO-CHAN!!" Niji Said hugging Hakkotsu
"I actually turned them down" Hakkotsu added making all the girls look at her shocked
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!!!!!" Mina asked
"I didn't like all the attention...." she answered
"So what about you Ochako?" Tsuyu asked and when the girls looked at her she was giving off a glowing aura
"It was really beneficial" Uraraka answered looking extreamly sure of herself and stronger
"She looks way better, to be honest, but it was such a great change in just one week" Aoi commented while looking at Uraraka
"A change? that is definitely not what happened," Mineta said before he got all nervous and chattered his teeth in fear "Women are demons, they all hide their true personalities"
"What the hell happened with Mt. Lady?!" Kaminari exclaimed "But I only had fun in comparison to the rest"
"(Hah, guess that applies for us, doesn't it?.....)" Aoi thought referring to the reflection who has been silent lately.
"But if we all think about it, the ones who got the biggest experience were you three, isn't that right?" Kaminari said referring to Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida
"That's true... The Hero killer...(I wanted to talk to Midoriya, I will have to find a chance later)" Aoi said while she regained her posture and stretched still cramping all over
"I watched it over at the news, that the hero killer was related to the League of villain, but at least Endeavor stopped him" Ojiro commented while getting close to Midoriya "To think someone like that could've been in the USJ"
"Yeah, we were lucky Endeavor was there to save us," Midoriya said "He is the number two after all"
Aoi had flashbacks of the talk she had with Stain, and the way Shigaraki reacted to everything and got a semi-serious expression "(They are lying in the news, it is not as if I can contradict them, for I will look suspicious for giving information that has not been shared in the media... still, but why would Midoriya say it was Endeavor?)"
"It sure sounds scary, but did you guys watch the video?" Kaminari asked, "He looked like someone really dedicated and stubborn, didn't he look cool?"
"Kaminari!" said Midoriya a little worried wince Iida was right there for his brother was almost killed by Stain's hand
"A-a... I am sorry!" Kaminari said a little guilty
"I mean I have to agree with Kaminari," Aoi said while looking at them "It is true that his actions were bad, but the determination he has is something most heroes lack nowadays"
"Ku-... Aoi..."Midoriya said while looking at her
"It is true that he was stubborn and was full of dedication, and I understand that it makes him look cool. But, killing as a means to reach a goal is not acceptable" Iida said making Kaminari and Aoi lower their gazes with some guilt "In order to avoid someone ending like me, I shall retake the path to become a hero!!" he said with a great voice
"(he was quick in reconsidering himself, I am impressed)" Aoi thought while she looked over at Aikou who was looking at Iida
"NOW THEN LET THE CLASS BEGIN!! EVERYONE GO BACK TO THEIR SEATS AND PREPARE FOR CLASS!!!!!" Iida started screaming
"So noisy..." Hakkotsu said whispering
"So annoying," Tokoyami said in a low tone
"And all because Kaminari and Aoi decided to say something weird" Jiro commented
"Sorry," Both Kaminari and Aoi said in a unison
"What is all the screaming about?" Asked Aizawa who entered the room and all the students were now sitting as if they had been there all along "Not that I care... Now that your internships are over, you guys will all undergo training for your final exams which are in a week, not only will there be a written exam, there will also be a practical one"
Aizawa gave a short sigh and the students noticed how the scarf he had was moving once in a while.
"Before the practical exam, there will be two pieces of training, one with All Might, and one with-" Aizawa was saying before a blue jello came out jumping out of his scarf
He was about the size of a palm, but once he was standing at the desk where Aizawa was, he increased in size to about the length of a ruler while making squeaky sounds.
"WAAAAAAAAAA" All the class exclaimed stunned by the cuteness of the creature
"It is so cute!!!" Mina said
"I WANT TO HUG IT!!!" Niji said at the back
"It looks like a toy" Kaminari added
"This is Slimey" Aizawa continued
Slimey just waved making a squeaky noise
"He is one of our support members here in UA, he is a classified being so we would appreciate if you refrain from talking about him outside this campus" Aizawa continued
"How come he is a support if he is so small?" Sato asked
"He is not a human like any of us, he was created by... the government..." Aizawa answered and one could notice how he felt a little uncomfortable "Don't trust his adorable looks, he is a high skilled weapon created to follow orders, that cute face, can kill any of you in seconds"
Everybody got a little intimidated but were still not really convinced by Aizawa's words
"But don't worry, he won't hurt any of you at any moment, that is why he is under the care of UA to make sure he doesn't drive off the wrong path. We use him to train students here, and for today, you guys will face him in the field, so please go change to your hero costumes and meet me at the forest training ground" Aizawa said before Slimey shrunk in size and looked at Aizawa making a sad squeak noise "Yes, you can stay with them and I'll see you at the training ground"
Slimey made happy squeaking sounds and waved him goodbye while the rest of the students looked at him curiously. Slimey just looked at them confused as well. It took just one moment before all of the students were surrounding him looking at him and admiring his cuteness.
"There is no way a cutie like this could be lethal, he is just so adorable!!!" Uraraka said while trying to touch it, and Slimey just placed his head in Uraraka's hand causing him to start floating
Slimey started to move his hands really fast for he was not sure what was happening, and in order to get himself back to the desk, he extended his arms and wrapped himself against the closest arm to him which was Midoriya's, and used it as a ladder to climb back to the desk.
"Ah, sorry little guy," Uraraka said before deactivating her quirk
Midoriya then looked at Slimey who refused to get off his arm since he still thought he would float again. Midoriya just grabbed him from his back and placed him back at the desk, and once Slimey noticed he was not floating anymore, he started jumping happily.
"He is such a cutie, I wish I could just keep him to myself," Mina said getting close
Slimey once he saw Mina, was amazed, his eyes becoming big and full of sparkles. And in a fast move, he just jumped to Mina's cheek and hugged her and cuddled with her.
"Hey hey, what is going on?" Mina asked
"I think he likes you!" Niji said when she started to think about how Mina had the palette of a female Slimey
Mina slowly took him but he refused to get away from her until Mina used her acid to separate himself
"I love him so much!" Mina said before placing him back on the desk
"I know we are interested in the creature, but we should get going," Yaoyorozu said while looking at Slimey
"Yaoyorozu is right! let's move it class!!" Iida said while moving his hand
Slimey just looked at Iida and changed his shape to mimic Iida and imitated his hand movements.
"Waaaa he can shapeshift?!" Asked Kaminari
"He still looks blue and his eyes remain the same... reminds me of that one pokemon but this one stays blue" Aoi commented
"You also play pokemon?!" Kaminari asked
"Hell yeah, I've played them all" Aoi replied
Kaminari showed his backpack and from there took a small Pikachu keychain he had hanging on it. Aoi smiled and showed that in her backpack she had a Magneton keychain as well.
"POKEMON BUDDIES!" Both of them said while giving each other a high five "YEAH!"
All of the students started to head over to the fitting rooms to change to their hero costumes, and the girls decided to send Slimey to the boy's changing room since they still were not sure if he was actually conscious or not.
"Huh, so that explains the posters in the cafeteria" Niji commented while the girls were changing
"What do you mean?" Uraraka asked
"I remember in the cafeteria that there were posters which had a blue blob and said 'do not feed', so now I can surely say that it referred to Slimey" Niji answered
"I remember seeing those posters too," Aoi said while she was putting on her belt
"I don't think I've ever seen him around before tho, and doubt he can teach anything meaning he is not a teacher" Tsuyu added
"Aizawa did say he was a support, so that means he probably only supports training practice," Aoi said while she closed the locker and kept stretching since her limbs were still sore
"You sure you can train like that?" Aikou asked
"Yes, I can just use my quirk to move and avoid using my legs and arms, I just need to make sure I don't end up overusing my quirk, or else I won't be able to move at all" she replied
"If you need help at any given moment, you can always ask us for help" Yaoyorozu commented
"Thanks" Aoi replied "Also... don't you guys find it weird how the UA just randomly has an experimental weapon made by the government?"
"Now that I think about it, it is weird" Niji replied
"I mean, just look at this place, they have almost the space of a whole country yet no one questions it, who knows how many more things they hide" Uraraka replied as well
"I guess we will have to wait to get more answers later depending on the training," Aoi said to herself
Once they all changed, they went to the forest training ground and saw both All Might and Aizawa standing there. And to their surprise, even Recovery Girl was there.
"Slimey, come forth," Aizawa said making Slimey jump over to Aizawa's shoulder "So, this is sort of a tradition now for students before their final exam. It will be the 24 of you against Slimey"
"What?" they all asked in a unison
"To put it simply, your mission is to capture Slimey and immobilize him for 10 seconds. And to make sure you guys give your all, if you are able to win, you will not have to do the practical exam, and will have a grade of 100 points for it" Aizawa added
"That's it?! That sounds easy! It is all of us against that thing, what could go wrong?" Kaminari asked
"Oh, I forgot to add, if Slimey immobilizes you for 10 seconds, you are out. Meaning that in order for Slimey to win, he will need to immobilize all 24 of you" Aizawa said with a sinister smile "And just so you know, no group until now has been able to complete the challenge, so try to not disappoint me and last at least 10 minutes"
"Even the third years have still failed to win the challenge," Recovery Girl said "I will be here to cure injuries so you guys can go all out"
"Slimey will have a 30-second headstart, as soon as that time is up, the challenge will start, and it will finish until one wins, good luck," Aizawa said before looking at Slimey "Training rules except for rule 7, training type 3, and also apply limitations for students 2," Aizawa said to Slimey and as soon as he finished SLimey rushed to the forest and was quickly lost insight
All Might was standing there and looked at the students while the 30-second headstart timer started to go down "Now remember to go beyond...." he started and as soon as the timer got to zero he continued "PLUS ULTRA!"
As soon as the timer finished all of the students entered the forest training ground and started to go deeper and deeper into the woods.
"We need a plan," Midoriya said when he noticed how Bakugo started to walk away on its own "Wait Kacchan! we should work as a team!"
"I am not scared of a fucking blue blob, I will go and catch him by myself," Bakugo said while walking away with Kirishima and Kaminari following him
"Punk..." Aoi said to herself "I also doubt he is strong enough to go against all of us and Aizawa was just trying to scare us" Aoi said "But we should not be the ones to strike first and we should learn about his abilities"
"I agree," Midoriya said "I think we should actually divide into groups to try and find him and keep a signal for when someone finds it so we can all rush there"
"That actually sounds like a good plan, but what can we use to alert the others?" Aoi asked
"I can make one flare gun for each team" Yaoyorozu replied
"Great! Then now we just have to divide into teams" Midoriya added
And so they all made teams of 3 since now Bakugo, Kaminari, and Kirishima was a team on their own and had no flare gun. Once the teams were set they all started to walk in different directions. Aoi was teamed up with Midoriya and Uraraka since teams were separated based on speed, strength, and ability, Aoi being the Speed, Midoriya the Strenght, and Uraraka for the ability. While they were walking, Aoi was waiting for a moment to talk with Midoriya but she didn't want Uraraka to hear the conversation for she suspected that Uraraka liked him and would not like to worry.
The forest was awfully quiet, and she decided to finally get close to Midoriya "Midoriya, we need to talk" she said while looking at Uraraka expecting her to give them some privacy
Uraraka looked at her and got a little nervous "A-A I-I I will let you guys talk" she said while backing up a little
"What's wrong Ku- Aoi?" Midoriya asked
"We are friends, right? Meaning we trust each other" Aoi asked
"Of course" Midoriya replied sure of himself
"How come you guys said it was Endeavor who stopped Stain when it was you three?" Aoi asked
"Huh?! How do you-" Midoriya replied
"That is not important... I am just curious" Aoi asked
"Actually the chief of the police force told us to keep it that way to avoid any problems for the hero safety commission" Midoriya answered whispering
"How come?" Aoi asked but just shook her head violently "(I want to tell him to lay low or else Shigaraki will target him even more... but I have no idea on how to tell him... Wait, they said Stain was with the League, maybe I can use that) ... you should be careful tho, by being part of the stopping of Stain that only means the League will see you as a target"
"You are right, but that time... Iida was in danger, and I had to do everything in my power to help him" He replied
"I understand, but you should really try to lay low when facing them, not only did you interfere with Shigaraki in USJ twice, but now you took out a big asset, I am worried about you," Aoi said
"You don't have to worry at all" Midoriya said with a smile and then they heard a gunshot
"GUYS LOOK!" Uraraka said making Aoi and Midoriya look at the sky and see the flaregun
"Let's go!" Midoriya said while they all rushed to that position
"Hang on!" Aoi said before using her chains to take them to the position faster and when they got there they saw Tokoyami, Aikou, and Niji tied up in a type of blue rope "Aikou!"
when they were about to act, they heard three buzzers indicating that they were eliminated.
"No way, that fast?!" Uraraka asked when looking at how the rope lost its shape and it was Slimey all along
He took the same shape they met him in, and he just looked at them and in a split of a second he made a type of net to tie the three of them up, but luckily they were saved by a huge chunk of ice which separated them from Slimey. Slimey on the other hand looked in the way Todoroki was and changed shape to a drill and destroyed the ice to try and go back to where Midoriya and his team were.
Midoriya activated his quirk making both Aoi and Uraraka worry about him breaking his bones but he took both of them and sprinted away from Slimey and towards the other group.
"How come you are not breaking your bones?!" Aoi asked
"Thanks to my internship I learned how not to!" Midoriya said with a smile
They would then arrive with Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, and Sero
"You guys alright?" Sero asked
"Yeah, we weren't able to reach them at all!" Uraraka replied
"We saw it all, Slimey didn't even take 3 seconds to tie them all up, he didn't even give them an opportunity to attack except for Rei to shoot the flaregun," Yaoyorozu said
"Then he is fast, we have to act while the other get he-" Midoriya started before they hear Slimey getting close and trying to attack Todoroki
Sero used his tape to try and tie him up, but Slimey would divide his body and reconnect with it to avoid his tape and then would launch itself to tie Todoroki up, but Sero would push Todoroki away so he wouldn't get caught. But Slimey would still act as a net and tie them both up, yet Todoroki activated his fireside, making Slimey back away and hide in the trees.
"He really wants to get rid of Todoroki!" Aoi said trying to analyze Slimey to see any weaknesses but no matter what she thought about, he would have a counterattack
"At least he doesn't like heat," Sero said sweating a little
"But he didn't seem hurt by it, and more as annoyed" Yaoyorozu added
"We can't let him escape! Where are the others?" Midoriya asked
"Don't know, but I'll try to follow him as much as I can, you guys think of a plan!" Aoi said activating her quirk on her hero costume
"Aoi take this!" Sero said giving the flaregun to Aoi who then started to float above the trees and start to follow Slimey who seemed to be escaping
"He seems to not be escaping but to be looking for the next team to attack, maybe he thinks that Todoroki is his strongest opponent so that is why he was trying to get rid of him as fast as he could, so maybe he wants to get rid of the rest so that Todoroki doesn't have support," Aoi said to herself while trying to catch up to Slimey, but he was incredibly fast and agile for her to keep track of
She would lose track of him and would look around over and over expecting to hear his movement. She couldn't use her quirk for he had nothing metallic, but she used her quirk to find as many of her classmates as possible. And with that, she was able to locate Iida's group thanks to his armor, and when she looked up, she noticed a flaregun was shot from their position meaning they were already under attack.
"SHIT!" Aoi exclaimed before heading over there and tried using her quirk to take Iisa and Koda out of the way for they were the only ones with something metallic, but only Iida would rise
She would then get to the ground level and see how Sato was struggling to move for he was already tied up along with Koda. Aoi would use her chains to try and cut the slime net but the chains would get dissolved
"huh?! Since when can he do that?!!" In the areas the chains dissolves, his mass grew in size making Aoi understand that he was feeding on the things around him and before Aoi could attempt on saving them she would hear two buzzers meaning they were now out
"Kuro! Get out of here! We can still have a chance!" Sato said making Aoi nod and just go with Iida who was still floating due to Aoi's quirk
"We have to meet up with the oth-" Aoi said while getting close to Iida but she would then feel something in her leg, and once she lowered her gaze she found that SLimey was starting to take over her body
Aoi got distracted and deactivated her quirk making both Iida and her fall to the ground, but before Aoi fell she was caught by Midoriya. She then used her quirk to get rid of her boot which Slimey was grabbed onto and take control of Iida's armor while Midoriya started to sprint away
"You guys now have a plan?" Aoi asked
"Yes! But we need to find Kacchan's team for we need him and Kaminari" He replied while he sprinted using his quirk towards the rest of the team
Once they got there, Mineta, Jiro, and Aoyama were also there. Meaning that they were still missing three teams, but right before they started talking they would hear three more buzzers, meaning one of the missing teams was eliminated.
"Great, how do we know which team got eliminated? If it was Bakugo's team then our plan is now ruined" Sero commented
"Doubt it was them, we would've heard huge chaotic explosions if it had been their team, meaning it could've been Mina, Hakkotsu, and Shoji or Ojiro, Hagakure, and Tsuyu" Aoi commented "Also I wasn't able to save Sato and Koda"
"Were you able to notice anything while following him?" Todoroki asked
"Actually yes, the more he eats the more he increases in size, meaning that there should be a limit to how much he can increase in size, in this case, the size of the slime nets he has been creating to immobilize each of us" Aoi started "if we can find a way to make him lose mass and decrease his size, then we have a chance of capturing him"
"Then that means our theory was right" Midoriya stated "We actually came out with a plan based on how he reacted with Todoroki for he was melting a little according to Yaoyorozu, so our plan was to use Kaminari to try and stun him, and use Todoroki and Kacchan to melt as much as possible"
"Once he is in a small size, Todoroki can freeze him and with that, we would win" Uraraka added
"I can track Bakugo thanks to my quirk, but now part of my movement is limited since I lost my boot," Aoi said "So I would try to keep a distance"
"I can try to set a perimeter so that we can try and keep him inside an area," Sero said while showing a thumbs up
"I can try and hear from where he is coming from" Jiro added
Each of the those that were right there, agreed on a position to try and make the best outcome possible
"Wait, we should try and find Mina, Slimey seemed to be attracted to her so maybe we can use her as bait as long as she wasn't eliminated" Aoi commented "Or else, how are we supposed to convince Slimey to just fall in our trap when there is more than 9 of us there?"
"True, then we need to find Mina and act fast," Midoriya said before they all heard a flaregun
"That is the last team with a flaregun... IT IS NOW OR NEVER!" Aoi screamed making all of them rush over there. Aoi was trying to use her quirk to find her boot and recover it since it felt weird to have one boot on and not have the other
They were all so close to the place where the flaregun came from, and they all heard one buzzer.
"Oh no..." Aoi whispered to herself hoping that it wasn't Mina and when they all got there, they saw how Shoji was tied up like a burrito while Hakkotsu and Mina were Inside of a creature that was defending them from Slimey
"It is now or never!" Iida said to the rest of the team
Sero started to put tape all around the area and around Aoi so she could be protected while she started scanning for Bakugo but he was not in range.
Mineta started throwing the purple balls toward Slimey but he would not stick to any of them, and they ended up becoming a problem for Hakkotsu's creature since it was getting trapped on them, causing Mina and Hakkotsu to be vulnerable. Aoyama was going to attempt shooting at Slimey but got caught in one of Mineta's balls and ended up shooting his laser towards Hakkotsu's creature, destroying it completely.
Slimey noticed how the balls would prevent them from moving and he would start collecting them with his body and start shooting them toward Aoyama and the girls making. Aoyama got completely caught while Mina was actually able to avoid them, letting Hakkotsu get caught by them. Making both of them be out as soon as the buzzers went off.
Slimey would then notice how Mineta was the one throwing the balls making him want to have more for his use, so he launched itself towards him, but Jiro placed herself in front of him and used her quirk to send out waves to push him away, and surprisingly Slimey was stunned for a second making him fall to the ground. And as soon as he hit the floor he digs a hole right under himself.
"Where did he go?!" Jiro asked making all of the ones in the group look at the floor concerned, and out of the floor tentacle-like things came out and wrapped both Mineta and Jiro.
Todoroki tried to get close to freeze him but one of the tentacle-like things came out from many places around putting everybody in danger. Todoroki then decided to freeze the whole ground, causing the tentacles to freeze in place, but also causing Jiro and Mineta to be out for they were now immobilized, letting the buzzer go off.
They all tried to catch their breath thinking they got Slimey, but right under Uraraka, Slimey came out of the floor and took her from her hips, and pulled her to the trees where he immobilized her.
"You guys run while he eliminates me!!" Uraraka screamed making everybody follow her command and retreat.
Once they were away they all hear the buzzer which indicated that Uraraka has been eliminated. They were all panting incredibly tired.
"It has only been like 15 minutes but it feels like it has been at least an hour," Sero said while he sat on the floor and opened his helmet for him to breathe easier.
"He already eliminated more than half of us as if we were toys, but we did get rid of a lot of mass thanks to Todoroki" Midoriya commented
"But he still seemed to be so full of energy and was totally unbothered by our strategy" Aoi added "Also where the hell is Bakugo and his team? I could try scanning again, but it would tire me faster"
"Wait... where is Iida?" Sero asked and while they look around they heard a buzzer
"I think that was him. Damn we are in such a disadvantage" Aoi commented
"Slimey was able to recover easily from Jiro's quirk, are we sure Kaminari will be the best option?" Mina asked
"Our plan was totally destroyed in less than a minute, this is impossible!" Sero added
"We can still come up with a plan," Yaoyorozu said
"We still have Mina, we can still use her as bait, but without something to stop him for at least three seconds for Todoroki to freeze him, then we have nothing," Aoi said while she took off her other boot cause she was already tired of not having both
"I have another idea" Midoriya started "Like a backup plan in case it fails, Yaoyorozu, do you think you can make a metal box?"
"I can," she said while making one from her stomach
"Ok, then once Slimey is stunned, Aoi can use this box to capture Slimey inside, then Sero can tie it up, while Todoroki freezes it," Midoriya said while showing the box to Aoi
"I can sure be fast enough to lock him inside," Aoi said while using her quirk to take over the box
"Now we just need to find Kaminari," Midoriya said before they heard a huge explosion
"Well, there they are" Aoi commented
"LET'S GO EVERYONE!" Yayorozu said to the team before they all ran towards the explosions.
Once they got there they saw how Kirishima was just eliminated while Kaminari and Bakugo were fighting Slimey
"(He is immune to strength type of quirks since punches don't do him any damage, but hits that have a wave type of reaction like Jiro's do stun him for at least one second) KAMINARI!" Aoi screamed making Kaminari look her way, so Aoi used her chains to bring him closer "We need you for our plan"
"Oh, I found your boot on the way! we were following the flare guns but when we got there there was nothing" Kaminari said giving the boot to Aoi who was happy and put it on along with the other one
"Thanks! now, here is the plan" She said
Aoi tried to explain the plan as fast as she could while Bakugo was distracting Slimey and then they all got in positions.
"Slimey!!" Mina screamed standing in an open space "Come and get me!"
Slimey stopped and when Bakugo was about to hit him, Slimey would just slpa him away and then head all happy towards Mina making a squeaky noise.
"Now!" Midoriya screamed
"100,000 VOLTS!!!" Kaminari screamed while shooting his lightning towards Slimey causing him to stop moving for a moment
Aoi used her quirk and trapped Slimey inside the metal box while Sero would shoot his tape to wrap the whole box so that he wouldn't open it. As soon as that was done, Todoroki would place his hand on one of Sero's tapes so that it would freeze the box.
"1...2...3...4..." Midoriya was counting and before he could say five, the box cracked open and saw a Slimey who was growing so much in size that he ended up measuring 7 meters and ended up breaking his little red tie
All the students around were too stunned to speak.
"It... didn't stop him for 5 seconds," Yaoyorozu said while Slimey just had an angry expression and just used his body to trap inside of him Kaminari who was not doing well because of his quirk, and Mina. Eliminating both of them.
Sero would then use his quirk to wrap him completely and apply enough pressure to make him explode, but once all the pieces were on the floor, they all took Slimey's shape making all of them unaware of who was the original. They all started to walk like little zombies toward the students making them all scared for a second.
Todoroki tried using his quirk to freeze the ground, but all the Slimey copies would jump to avoid for he already learned that trick.
Aoi used her chains to destroy as many as she could while Bakugo was also exploding any that tried to get close to him. Yaoyorozu on the other hand was unable to defend against them all and was not able to avoid the ice, making her get trapped by the Slimey invasion and be eliminated.
The ones that were still in the challenge were standing on top of trees.
"How do we know which one is him?!" Sero asked
They all started to look for differences for now there was no red tie to know where he was.
"Wait... none of them have eyes!" Aoi screamed noticing how they were all blue blobs without eyes "We need to find the one with eyes!"
"There he is" Todoroki said and while Aoi was going to look at him, he saw a rock being launched at Todoroki, hitting him on the head and making him fall to the ground. Sero tried to use his quirk to try and take him away but he ended up falling to the ground as well, Then all the Slimeys would go over to them to keep them there, and with just some seconds, Todoroki and Sero were eliminated, so Slimey would then fuse with all of its copies and become one again.
"He just eliminated his greatest threat... There are only three of us and none of us have an actual way to stop him" Aoi commented while panting
Slimey would then look up to Aoi with his big black eyes, and just give a short squeak before trying to attack her, but Bakugo would make a huge explosion right next to him, blowing him away.
"I AM NOT SCARED OF A FUCKING BLUE BLOB!!!" Bakugo screamed while he tried to attack Slimey over and over again
"You can let me take over~" Said the reflection who was present behind her, but was not able to be seen by anyone except Aoi
"(No, I can do this by myself)" Aoi replied in her thoughts
"If that is what you want, then go ahead, but without me, you won't win~" The reflection said before vanishing
"(She has been really quiet but passive whenever she appears, something feels off)" Aoi thought while she used her quirk on her belt to move from tree to tree to try and follow Bakugo, Midoriya doing the same
When they caught up to Slimey and Bakugo, Bakugo was all wrapped up by Slimey, almost choking him to death while Bakugo was trying to explode his way out. His eyes were full of fear as if he was about to start going insane.
"KACCHAN!!!" Midoriya screamed, and when Aoi looked at Midoriya, he looked incredibly worried, as if he knew that Bakugo was not having a good time "Not again...." Midoriya said while he started to activate his quirk and launched himself towards Slimey
"Again?" Aoi asked herself, but unfortunately, neither of them were able to make it, for Slimey had now wrapped them all to a point of almost killing them since they were unable to move at all.
The three buzzers went off indicating that Slimey had won, but he still didn't release the three of them, since they were still struggling to get out, making Slimey tighten his grip and start to actually choke on them.
"Slimey, That is enough," Aizawa said on the speakers making Slimey go back to his original shape and letting the three of them go.
They all started to cough as soon as they reached the ground and placed their hands on their necks since they were in pain "I thought he would not hurt us, but I thought I was going to blackout right there"
All Might ended up arriving at the scene and looked at the four of them "He must've believed that you three were still not fully immobilized, so that is why he continued, as for the strength he used, I am not sure. Lets go with the others"
Slimey made a happy squeaky noise and got on All Might's shoulder
They all got out of the forest training ground and Recovery Girl healed the three of them while Aizawa looked at them.
"I apologize for that, since you guys took 21 minutes, that last minute was not inside of Slimey's parameters since his setup was to eliminate all of you in less than 20 minutes" Aizawa said "So he took it upon himself to eliminate you under his own rules"
"Set up?" Midoriya asked
"That code and words you said to him before he went inside the forest, like the Training rules and then some number" Aoi added
"Indeed, as I said before, Slimey is made to follow orders, but he is still a being of its own, so we trained him to follow specific setups and rules and made him memorize it all so we can give him limitations for each type of training. You guys only fought against the easiest setup he has, which includes not changing matter, and no extra food consumption, among other things. Had he been in his full capacity without limitations, none of you would've passed the first three minutes"Aizawa said while Slimey got with him with teary eyes "What is wrong?"
Slimey looked at him and made really small pats on his neck indicating he didn't have his tie anymore
"We will make you a new one... now, I do want to say, you guys did good, but failed on actually working as a team, I hope this training will help you reflect on what you guys need to focus on for the upcoming practical exams. All Might will give you another training tomorrow, then we will focus on preparing for the written exam" Aizawa said while Slimey got inside of his scarf and closed its eyes "You are all dismissed"
All of the students then walked towards the changing rooms, finished the classes for the day, and went home to rest. They were all fine, except for Midoriya, Bakugo, and Aoi, for that last minute was something that they didn't want to experience at all.
