"So... uh... hi?" Shinsou nervously spoke up, as he appeared in 1-A's doorway, holding his bag. Aizawa nodded, letting the boy into the room.
"Heard about what Izuku did just now. And I'm not too surprised. You were the only General Education student to make it to the finals of the Sports Festival." Aizawa muttered, before he sat down in his chair, "Shinsou, what lessons are you supposed to be having now?"
"Uh... homeroom?" Shinsou hesitantly offered, standing awkwardly by Aizawa's desk, before the teacher pointed at the empty seat right at the window, behind Bakugou and in front of Mineta.
He waited for Shinsou to settle down, before he sighed, "Alright, you should know this, but the week after this, you will be having your internships. Shinsou, as you were from the General Education course with no prior training, you won't be going on any interships. Instead, you will be under Izuku's tutelage. No training for today, but I'm sure you've all gotten some notes about your quirks this morning from Izuku."
"More like a handbook." Kaminari muttered, fishing the neat stack of papers out of his bag.
Shinsou looked around, and Aizawa grumbled, "You don't have one yet, Shinsou. Izuku's probably still working on it. Give him a day or two. Anyways, look through it. Anything you don't understand, go find Izuku tomorrow or later or something. Tomorrow, you will have combat training, so rest up. That's it. We'll be choosing our hero names later in the week, so I'm giving you the lesson to think about it and go through those notes. And please don't overwhelm Shinsou on his first day, please."
"Speaking of which... where is Izuku?" Yaoyorozu asked, "Is he in school?"
"Nope. He went back to the cafe." Aizawa replied, and Shinsou blinked in confusion, before remembering that Tokage had mentioned it the other day during the announcement of the Sports Festival after the USJ incident, "You should know where it is; you've been there before."
Shinsou wasn't even going to bring up the point that it seemed like Aizawa was stalking his students.
"Now, do whatever. Just keep quiet. I'm taking a nap."
Shinsou watched as Aizawa slipped into his signature yellow sleeping bag, and looked around the class, utterly confused.
"Is this normal?"
"Yes. Now shut up, Purple Fuck." Bakugou growled, before taking out his English homework.
Shinsou drawled, "I have a name, you know."
"Ah, don't worry about it." Kirishima grinned, coming up to sit on Bakugou's desk, laughing as he was roughly shoved off, "He gave you a nickname, so he probably has some level of respect for you. If he called you extra, then you'd have a problem."
"Fuck off, Shitty Hair." Bakugou snarled, and Shinsou just watched, even more confused than before as Kirishima continued pestering the blonde despite the explosions popping off his palms.
Shinsou was just confused for the rest of the day.
-----------------------
Shinsou shoved his books into his bag, before heading to the cafeteria. He wasn't too surprised to see Midoriya sitting on the table, laughing as he chatted with 1-A. Iida was berating him for sitting there instead of in a chair, but Midoriya was just ignoring his attempts to get him to move.
Midoriya spotted him, and beckoned him to the table, leaving Shinsou with no other choice than to slip into the emtpy seat at the greenette's table. Besides from Bakugou and Iida, there was Uraraka, Asui, Kaminari and Ashido, and the rest of 1-A were sitting at other tables around Midoriya's.
"Hey Shinsou." Midoriya grinned.
"Hello, Midoriya." Shinsou politely replied, resisting the urge to look away from the bright smile that rivalled that of the sun.
"Oh yeah, just call me Izuku. I don't mind. Only people I don't like call me Midoriya." Midoriya shrugged, as Iida once again berated him for sitting on the table, only for Bakugou to tell him to shut up.
"Okay?" Shinsou muttered, confused, as Kaminari spoke up, "So, what's your quirk? You seem to know all of ours, but you've never mentioned yours."
Midoriya laughed, "Yeah, no. I'm not saying. That's for me to know, and for you to find out."
Ashido shook Bakugou's hand, "Come on, you know him the best. Bakugou, spill!"
"Fuck off, Pinky. You're just doing that to fuck with everyone, aren't you, Deku?" Bakugou muttered, as Midoriya grinned, "Maybe. Maybe not. I'll say it when I feel like it and -."
Midoriya paused mid-sentence, before he sat up straight.
"Uh... Izuku? You okay?" Uraraka asked, as Midoriya turned towards the entrance of the cafeteria. There was some sort of stifling heat that grew stronger and stronger, until a figure emerged from the hallway.
Enji looked around, before laying his eyes on the dual hair coloured boy, "Shouto. You lost to a General Education student."
Todoroki froze, and he turned to face his father as Midoriya spoke up, "Endeavor."
Enji turned to look at Midoriya, who was still sitting on the table, and glowered, "Midoriya Izuku."
Midoriya leaned back slightly, and crossed his arms, "I would say that it's nice to meet you, but that would be a lie."
The entire cafeteria suddenly became so quiet, one could hear a needle drop. Everyone looked at Midoriya, stunned, before their eyes trailed warily to Enji, then back to Midoriya.
"What business do you have here in UA that requires you to barge through the school gates like you own the place, which you don't?" Midoriya continued, and Enji growled in reply, "I came to talk to my son."
"Yeah, no."
"What do you mean, no?" Enji hissed, "He's my son. I can talk to him any time I like."
"At home, maybe. In here, hell no." Midoriya grinned, "First, you don't own UA. You're just an alumni. Secondly, you need to call the secretery office, then make an appointment to talk to Todoroki. Security measures, you know. Or maybe you don't know. You don't seem like the type to know about things like that."
"I'm just talking to my son." Enji growled, "Shouto, come here now!"
Todoroki flinched, and was about to get to his feet, but one look from the calm green haired boy prevented him from doing so.
Midoriya glared at Enji, narrowing his eyes, a sickly sweet smile sitting on his face, "Did you forget our little deal, Todoroki Enji?"
Enji flinched.
Everyone but Bakugou stiffened as Midoriya used Enji's real name; the blonde was just leaning back into his chair, video recording the entire thing on his phone. When Midoriya started pulling out real names, you know he was serious.
Midoriya's eyes gleamed as he grinned, absentmindedly fiddling with a table knife that he got from Bakugou's plate, "I suppose you do. Leave Todoroki alone, do you understand? You may be Todoroki's father, but right here, right now, I have the higher authoritative power than you. Now, please leave; you've already ruined everyone's day."
Enji growled, but Midoriya merely smirked snarkily, "You do know what "leave" means, right? I can, and will, make good on my promises. This is no exception; you leave them alone, and I won't ruin your career. Capiche? Also, next time you want to visit, go through the proper proceedure. Perhaps we can avoid all this embarrassment."
He stopped twirling his knife between his fingers, gripping onto the handle tightly, before raising it, pointing the blade at the number two hero. His eyes were glinting maliciously, a smile on his face, and Enji grumbled something under his breath, before leaving.
"Good riddance." Midoriya snorted, and stuck his tongue out in the direction Enji had disappeared too. He turned to Todoroki, who was staring at him, completely stunned.
"If he bothers you again, tell me. I'll deal with him." Midoriya casually nodded, before twirling the knife between his fingers again.
"You threatened the Number Two hero." Shinsou stated blankly, "Do you have a death wish?"
"Nope. Never liked the guy." Midoriya gleefully replied, "We made a deal. Asshole had it coming."
"But... how..." Iida blinked, trying to figure out what was going on, and Midoriya grinned, slipping off the table, cryptically replying, "You know what they say, knowledge is power."
Midoriya merely walked out of the cafeteria, as Bakugou chuckled, staring at his phone, "Got another one on camera."
"Another one?" Todoroki asked, having snapped out of his daze, and Bakugou laughed, "Yeah, Icyhot. Deku hates Endeavor's guts. Ever heard of the time where Deku chased your dad out of his cafe with a fucking fire extinguisher, of all things? I've got it on video."
-----------------------
"Everyone into your hero costumes, and we'll be meeting at the PE Grounds. Yes, the one where Midoriya kicked those two other students butts yesterday. Shinsou, PE uniform. Get there in five minutes, or you'll get detention." Aizawa stated, before walking out of the classroom. There was a mad scramble in the classroom for everyone to get their cases, and Shinsou just slinked out to the changing rooms near the PE Grounds to change.
It didn't take too long for him to get there, well before the time limit of five minutes to be up, and much to his surprise, there were several other teachers and a lot of other students standing around.
Shinsou walked up to Aizawa, aware of the stares of the General Education students on him, and asked, "Sensei... why are there so many others here?"
"Apparently, word got out that Izuku was going to be fighting the hero course, and everyone is curious. Midoriya's made quite the name for himself here, especially after that stunt he pulled in the cafeteria." Aizawa exasperatedly muttered. The stupid green idiot had threatened Enji in front of pretty much everyone in UA. He knew that Midoriya really didn't like Enji, no one did, really, and he had been in the cafe during Enji's first and last visit to the cafe, back when it was pretty new; Midoriya had downrightly refused to serve Enji because he was constantly lit on fire in the enclosed space, and Enji, being stubborn, refused to take orders from a child. They argued for a while, and Midoriya had just outrightly glared at Enji, and sprayed the fire extinguisher on him while talking about some deal he apparently had made with Enji.
Bakugou had nearly fallen out his seat from laughing that time.
Aizawa did not want to get on Midoriya's bad side. He may be quirkless, but if he held such power over the Number Two hero, of all people, then who knew what else Midoriya was capable of, besides from whooping villain's asses and making awesome cups of coffee?
1-A and 1-B finally arrived at the Sports Grounds, and Midoriya, still looking too damned cheery after what he did in the cafeteria, split everyone into two groups.
The first group consisted of Aoyama, Asui, Iida, Uraraka, Ojiro, Kaminari, Kirishima, Koda, Jiro, Sero, Hagakure, Yaoyorozu, Awase, Kamakiri, Kuroiro, Kendo, Kodai, Komori, Shiozaki, Tsunotori, Tsuburaba, Tetsutetsu, Yanagi, and Rin. Everyone else was in the second group, and Midoriya told Shinsou to just watch.
No one knew why Midoriya split the students like that. Due to the rankings of the Sports Festival? Nope. Quirks? Also nope. 1-A and 1-B? A definite nope.
"Okay, same rules. Knock out, or out of bounds. Maminum fight time of five minutes so I can get to everyone. Forfeiting is fine, no shame in doing so. Group One, come in any order, I don't care. Feel free to use your support items. Don't go easy on me."
"But you don't have any support items." Monoma snarkily pointed out, and Bakugou snapped, "He'll fucking kill you if he got his hands on anything. That's why, don't go fucking easy on him. Don't blame Deku if he kicks you in the fucking balls cause you're too shitty."
"You got hit before?" Kirishima asked, worried, and Bakugou roared, "What else do you think, Shitty Hair?!"
Everyone, even the females, collectively felt sorry for the rude explosive blonde. That's got to have hurt.
Ojiro decided to go first, and it took less than a minute for Midoriya to dodge all his attempts to attack, before grabbing his outstretched fist, and literally tossing him out of bounds. At least he wasn't talking on his phone like last time, or that would be even more embarrassing.
"You're too stiff, Ojiro! Next! Keep it coming!"
He easily took Yanagi, Hagakure, Koda, Awase, and Kodai out, their quirks practically useless in a battle on a plain field. Midoriya also easily dodged Aoyama's lasers, before tackling him out of bounds. He also grabbed Asui's tongue and very literally threw her out of the box.
"Yanagi, be more creative! Hagakure, you're too loud! Koda, you're bulky, you can physically attack, can't you? Awase, you be more creative too! Kodai, you too! Use your quirk in another way! Aoyama, fire your lasers in shorter bursts to conserve energy! Tsu, come on, don't keep using your tongue to attack, what if I was toxic!?"
Midoriya just dodged past Iida and tripped him, before kicking him out of bounds, and threw Shiozaki out as she was trying to entangle him in her vines. Kuroiro wasn't too much trouble either; Midoriya had literally smashed his knee into Kuroiro's face as he emerged from the shadows, trying to tackle him. Jiro put up a valiant fight, using her quirk in an attempt to disorientate him, but she barely lasted two minutes, which was better than most since the others were out in less than a minute.
All in all, Midoriya was thrashing the students.
Kaminari tried to shock Midoriya the second he entered the box, being the only one besides from Jiro who had managed to land an attack on Midoriya, but despite being hit with more than a million volts of electricity, the green haired boy didn't even seem to feel it, and easily pushed him past the boundary.
How Midoriya was even able to take a hit like that and not even bat an eye, Shinsou didn't even know.
"Izuku! Are you okay?" Kirishima couldn't help but ask. No one could just shrug off an attack like that, could they?
"I'm fine. High voltage, low current, and lots of wasted energy. It doesn't do too much damage, plus, I've gotten worse shocks from my taser while I was testing it. Someone remind me to teach Denki basic physics later."
There were two questions running through Shinsou's mind; why did Midoriya have such a powerful taser, and why was he testing it on himself?
He easily took Kirishima and Tetsutetsu out with brute force, whittling away at their defences and leaving no room for them to retaliate. Monoma swore he saw Kirishima's hardened skin crack, and a dent in Tetsutetsu's arm. Komori had used her spray bottles to increase the humidity level before releasing her spores, but Midoriya just held his breath and took her out, before asking her for the antifungal spray to clear the area.
Tsuburaba's Solid Air barrier was easily broken apart by a kick from Midoriya, a testament to Midoriya's strength; Tsuburaba's barrier could easily withstand a blast from Bakugou, and yet, Midoriya had easily torn through it like nothing.
Then, in his fight against Kendo, she had managed to dodge an attack by Midoriya. Midoriya's foot barely missed Kendo, and crashed into the concrete ground, leaving a large crack. Kendo just looked at the crack, horrified, before Midoriya tripped her and threw her out of bounds.
Monoma flinched. Imagine getting hit in the crotch with a kick like that.
Sero had also put up a pretty decent fight, lasting for a minute and twenty seven seconds, trying to tangle Midoriya in his tape while constantly moving around, but Midoriya just grabbed Sero's tape, wrapped him up like Aizawa did with his capture weapon, before tossing him aside. Yaoyorozu was skating around Midoriya, trying to stay out of his reach and to build up speed, before taking a metal pole out in an attempt to whack him. That was her downfall, and Midoriya easily tripped her up and threw her out of bounds. Tsunotori and Rin just outrightly attacked him, but Midoriya evaded their attacks, and kicked them away.
Uraraka had managed to last for three whole minutes, which was impressive, since her quirk wasn't really directly offensive. She managed to keep her distance from Midoriya as he constantly attacked, using her quirk to avoid contact with the ground as much as possible. She even made her helmet and wrist guards float and throwing them at Midoriya as a distraction, but Midoriya eventually pinned her down, leaving her no choice but to forfeit.
Midoriya sighed, "Alright, Group One's done. You guys seriously have to use your quirks more creatively. Your quirks are less directly offensive than the others, so while you may be able to easily restrain people who aren't fighting back, or aren't strong enough to do so, you're really going to have to really think about how you're going to deal with more viscious villains. Group Two, you guys have more destructive quirks, and I want you guys to go all out. So, whoever wants to go first, start. I don't really care."
Kaibara had decided to go first, going all out with his Gyrate quirk, doing his best to land a hit on the green haired boy, but Midoriya was easily twisting past all his attacks like he had been doing it all his life. His quirk was starting to destroy the ground, leaving it broken and uneven, but Midoriya didn't seem to have any trouble finding solid footing. Midoriya jumped backwards, still having that smirk on his face, before sweeping up some of the debris created by Kaibara's quirk with his foot and swiftly smacking them at Kaibara's direction. Kaibara brought his arms up to block, only for Midoriya to use to distraction to get up close and sweep Kaibara's feet out from under him, and tossing him out of bounds. Sato was next, attacking almost immediately, but Midoriya was still keeping up his ridiculous pace of dodging. As Sato felt the effects of his quirk slipping, he immediately pulled away, reaching into the pockets of his utility belt to fish out more sugar, only to find that his pockets were completely empty.
"Looking for something?" Midoriya smirked, casually fiddling a few canisters of sugar between his fingers. Sato didn't have any options left, other than to charge at the greenette and hope that his remaining strength would be enough to take Midoriya out, only for the shorter and scrawnier boy to grab his wrists, before turning around, completely flipping the larger boy over his shoulder and out of bounds.
"Come on, Sato, you can do better than that." Midoriya groaned, "Stop being so reliant on your quirk!"
Bondo was next, immediately spraying a glue-like liquid all over the field, leaving Midoriya with almost nowhere to go. Except that Midoriya promptly tore off his hoodie, tossing it in front of him, before jumping onto it. He leapt forward, latching himself onto Bondo, easily swinging himself up and kicking in the face. Bondo tried to grab him, not wanting to get his quirk on hiimself and possible getting himself stuck or trapped, but the smaller boy easily slipped past his attempts to grab him, using Bondo's body as leverage to land more attacks on the larger boy, forcing him out of bounds.
Ishiyama had to change the cement platform due to all the debris from Kaibara's match, and glue from Bondo's, but sadly, Midoriya's hoodie couldn't be salvaged from all the glue. Midoriya didn't seem to mind, though, and Honenuki decided to give it a shot. He softened the entire area, and Midoriya couldn't do anything as he slowly sunk into the softened ground. Honeneki dove into the softened ground, getting ready to leap out and attack the trapped boy, but Midoriya didn't look while Midoriya's legs were stuck, he could still use his arms. Honenuki got hit with a left hook right in the cheek, before Midoriya slipped his foot out of his shoe and kneed Honenuki right in the stomach, knocking the wind out of him, proceeding to just throw him out of bounds
Midoriya did ask Honenuki to soften the ground again so that he cound fish his shoes out of the ground. Shishida, Shoji and Fukidashi were harder that Sato for Midoriya to defeat, but they weren't as challenging as Bondo and Honenuki since they didn't really add any additional hazards to the surroundings; Midoriya just, as per usual, avoided their attempts to grab him, before tripping them up and sending them tumbling back out of the field.
Ashido had put up a decent fight, using her acid to try and throw Midoriya off balance while proving herself to be able to keep up with Midoriya's speed, only for Midoriya to make a sudden, oddly weird movement. Ashido found herself tripping over her own feet, yelping as she faceplanted onto the ground, and Midoriya knocked her out of bounds as well.
The pinkette was exhausted, panting as she sat on the ground, before Midoriya pulled her up, barely winded at all.
Tokoyami was surprisingly easy to deal with; Dark Shadow was a straight-forward, vicious attacker, but there was a distictive pattern to how he liked to attack. Midoriya easily dodged past Dark Shadow, and Tokoyami was defenceless. Dark Shadow had turned back, trying to protect Tokoyami, but it didn't take too long for Midoriya to force Tokoyami out of bounds.
"This is weird..." Monoma mumbled, trying his best to analyse Midoriya's fighting style, but ultimately coming up empty handed. He watched as Shoda tried to attack, only for Midoriya to grab his fists. The shorter boy tried to activate his quirk, only for Midoriya to use it against him and knocking him out of the box. "He said that we can knock out our opponents, but all he's doing is tossing everyone around."
"Tch. Deku's still going easy on you guys." Bakugou snapped, "He's not trying to beat you up; he's trying to best figure out what your quirks can actually do, combined with the limitations you put on yourselves because of your stupid mindsets."
Mineta had taken his turn, only for Midoriya to kick him out of the box before he could even react.
Midoriya did seem to have trouble fighting against Tokage due to her ability to split apart, but Tokage was also having trouble landing any hits on Midoriya, as Midoriya kicked any floating part of Tokage that was close to him away, quite some distance away; he had prettu good aim, given how small the parts that Tokage had split herself into. That was the only fight so far that seemed like it was going nowhere, until most of Tokage's parts were out of bounds, and were too far away for her to retrieve.
Monoma decided to give it a shot; he had decided to copy Kaibara, Kodai, and Yanagi's quirk. Midoriya was too good at close combat to be taken down normally; Monoma wanted to easily be able to lauch ranged attacks, while having a powerful close combat quirk for defence. He immediately used Gyrate on the ground, breaking the ground, before using Kodai's quirk to enlarge the debris and Poltergeist to lift them up and lauching them in Midoriya's direction. That would have been a good idea, except Midoriya just easily kicked the giant flying pieces of debris apart. Midoriya just ploughed his way towards Monoma, and the blonde hastily tried to use Gyrate in self defence.
Midoriya grabbed his arm just as Monoma activated the quirk, and the greenette used the momentum from Monoma's arm rotation to spin around and kneeing Monoma harshly in the side. From there, Midoriya just easily picked Monoma up and tossed him away. He glanced at the two remaining hero course students, and licked his lips, grinning.
"Who's next?"
Todoroki narrowed his eyes, before slowly walking up, and taking his place in the box, ready to fight. He immediately started off with an ice glacier, and blinked.
"You really should stop doing that, you know." Midoriya spoke up, that irritating smirk still plastered on his face as he popped up from behind Todoroki, "It's just a waste of energy!"
Todoroki whirled around, wondering how the heck Midoriya had dodged his ice, before stepping forward and firing off another glacier. Midoriya swiftly dodged it as well, gracefully slipping past the freezing icicles that were forming from Todoroki's assault. Todoroki growled, creating a thin but sturdy bridge of ice for him to get in close to Midoriya. Midoriya jumped backwards to dodge, but Todoroki's ice caught his foot, preventing him from escaping.
That wasn't enough to stop Midoriya, though, and as Todoroki got close, Midoriya twisted his body, slamming his free foot into Todoroki's gut, the movement weakening the ice enough for Midoriya to free his other foot from the ice. Todoroki fired off another glacier, but Midoriya easily evaded; it was much smaller and slower than before.
"Hey, Todoroki. There's a limit to how much cold you can take, right?" Midoriya said, "Everyone tried their best, and you think you can win with only half your strength?"
Todoroki ignored him, and fired off another glacier, but Midoriya just dodged him again, "You're predictable. Doing this over and over again. You aren't going to get anywhere."
Midoriya lifted his foot, and kicked off a few icicles, before he spoke up again, "Do you want to die, Todoroki? Do you?! Because at the rate you're going, thinking you can do better than everyone else with only your ice, you will die!"
Todoroki growled, and charged towards Midoriya, ready to ice him in the face, only for the greenette to kick him in the stomach, sending him tumbling back into some ice, as Midoriay jumped upwards and found some footing on Todoroki's glacier.
"Will you let someone else die because you can't let go?"
Todoroki froze, and Midoriya continued, "Are you going to let him hold you back forever?"
Todoroki fired off another glacier, and he could do nothing as Midoriya gracefully weaved through the emerging icicles, as he yelled, "Stop screwing around! Are you going to let him be your downfall?!"
Midoriya raised his foot, breaking off a few icicles and kicking them in Todoroki's direction, forcing Todoroki to dodge despite his shivering.
"Are you going to keep holding back because of him!?"
Shinsou could tell that Midoriya was getting frustrated, but over what, he wasn't too sure.
"God dammit, Todoroki! Just use your fire! It's your power, isn't it!? Not his!" Midoriya practically screamed, kicking off another icicle and smacking it in Todoroki's direction. Todoroki dodged it, only for Midoriya to break off more icicles and using them as ammo against the dual hair coloured boy.
A spark ignited within him, and Todoroki raised his left arm, his flames roaring to life, easily melting the icicles before they reached.
Midoriya relaxed, the calm smile back on his face, as he looked down on Todoroki from his perch on the icicles, "Let go, Todoroki. It's your quirk; you're your own person. Don't let your lineage define you."
Todoroki pondered over Midoriya's words as the greenette's eyes glinted.
"Let's go, Todoroki. Bring it on!"
Todoroki immediately fired a blast of a fire at Midoriya, but Midoriya just jumped off the glacier, avoiding the fire, swiftly weaving through all the debris. Todoroki raised both arms, fire and ice racing towards Midoriya, but the green haired boy easily slid under the flames, jumping over the ice, and delivering a powerful kick to Todoroki's stomach, kicking him out of bounds.
The dual hair coloured boy panted, trying to regain the breath that Midoriya had knocked out of him, as a hand appeared in front of him. Todoroki looked up, seeing Midoriya looking down on him, grinning, not even seeming tired at all.
Todoroki took Midoriya's hand, and the green haired boy pulled him up.
"Thank you."
Midoriya looked at him, and smiled, "We can't choose our genes, but we can choose how to use the gifts we were given, can't we?"
"Deku!" Bakugou yelled, "Fight me!"
"Just after that intense fight with Todoroki?" Uraraka yelped, but Midoriya smirked cheekily, sticking his tongue out, "And for you to lose again?"
"Bring it! I won't lose this time!" Bakugou roared, as Ishiyama repaired the field once again, and Midoriya cracked his knuckles, "That's what you said every time, before I kicked you butt! I hope you'll put up more of a fight than last time, Kacchan, now that you can use your quirk freely."
That made everyone pause. Bakugou was one of the stronger students in 1-A, having won the Sports Festival, and easily defeating his peers in lessons. They weren't too sure of the standings now, with Todoroki using his fire, but Bakugou was definately the most determined and vicious when it came to attacking. Midoriya had also proven himself, having defeated the villains at the USJ, and kicking everyone else's ass. This would definately be a good fight.
"You think!" Bakugou grinned, starting off with a right hook, only for Midoriya to swiftly dodge. He grabbed onto Bakugou's arm, swinging him around, but Bakugou blasted himself forwards, using Midoriya's arm as a lever to swing back around, aiming an explosion in his face. Midoriya swiftly ducked under Bakugou's attack, releasing the blonde to create some distance between them.
Fighting everyone else had certainly elevated his heart rate, but not by much; if he went all out, he wouldn't get to see the full extent of the students' abilities, and he needed to see what they could do before deciding on what they can improve on. He had already doen a basic analysis, based on their performance in the Sports Festival, but seeing their quirks and abilities close up gave him a better idea of what was going on.
While he was excited to fight Bakugou at his best (he was the one to suggest gauntlets that stored Bakugou's sweat for later usage, after all), he need to monitor himself carefully. Midoriya was not eager to let anyone find out about it; not only was it a major weakness that could be exploited, but it was a clear reminder that he didn't exactly have the cleanest record, even if it wasn't really his fault.
Bakugou roared, pulling his arms back as explosions erupted from his palms, increasing his own speed, as Midoriya lunged at him, raising his legs to kick his explosive friend. Bakugou used one hand to blast Midoriya as a distraction, before using his other to attack. Midoriya caught his gauntlet, before taking a step back, flinging Bakugou over his shoulder and slamming him into the ground. Bakugou instantly pushed himself up, and tried to fire an explosion directly in Midoriya's face, only for Midoriya to swiftly dodge his attack.
The green haired boy instantly twisted into a handstand, trying to kick Bakugou, but the blonde blasted himself into the air, before spinning, using his explosions to propel himself downwards.
"Take this, Deku! Howitzer Impact!"
"Bakugou! Stop!" Aizawa yelled; the last time Bakugou and Todoroki sparred, Bakugou had used that move to completely and utterly destroy Todoroki's ice wall. The Erasure hero moved in to erase Bakugou's quirk, but the blonde released the massive explosion as he neared Midoriya, a huge shockwave blasting outwards, kicking smoke and dust into the air.
"You're still to brash, Kacchan!" A voice called out, and Bakugou whirled around, finding that Midoriya had completely avoided the attack.
Bakugou grinned, lunging at him, before raising his arm, "Don't get cocky, Deku!"
Midoriya looked up, as the blond pulled the pin from his gauntlet, a huge eruption blasting out from the grenade-looking bracers, engulfing Midoriya's side of the field.
"That's enough!" Aizawa growled, about to jump in and restrain Bakugou before he went overboard, before an intense pressure engulfed the area. Midoriya leapt out of the cloud of smoke and dust, lunging forwards faster than he had before, and Bakugou barely had any time to dodge before Midoriya kicked him.
Calm down.
Midoriya's foot made contact with the ground, once again shattering the ground beneath him, before rushing after Bakugou again, attacking mercilessly. Bakugou couldn't even find an opening to attack as Midoriya kicked and punched, each move smoothly transitioning into the next, not even wasting a single movement.
Bakugou moved to dodge a punch, but Midoriya had feinted, bringing his other arm up to attack. Bakugou tried to respond with an explosion, and in instinct, the green haired boy slammed his hand into Bakugou's neck, sending the blonde to the ground.
He didn't get up.
Shinsou blinked, as he tried to process what had happened; Midoriya had literally just knocked Bakugou out with one hit.
Midoriya blinked, shaking his head, trying to shake that familiar haze in his mind away, trying to process what he had just done.
Shit.
He walked over to Bakugou, and squatted down, pushing his limp body slightly. "Hey, Kacchan. Kacchan? Wake up, come on?"
Aizawa walked over to them, concerned, as Bakugou took a sharp intake of breath, and opened his eyes, slightly dazed and confused. He tried to push himself up, sitting on the ground for a few seconds, as Midoriya offered him his hand, pulling the boy up.
"Deku, what the hell was that?!" Bakugou snapped, "You never told me you could do that! You didn't even hit me that hard!"
"Imighthavepanickedandaccidentallyhityouinthepressurepointinyourneckandthatoverloadedyournervoursystemand -"
Bakugou frowned, "Pressue point? Overload?! You're not making any sense! Stop mumbling you asshole, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!"
"Izuku, breathe." Aizawa stated, as Midoriya calmed down, "What was that?"
"The nervous system is a collection of nerves and neurons that transmits signals within the body." Midoriya started, as the hero course students moved closer to hear an explanation, "Because of that, there's a lot of -"
"Get to the point." Bakugou growled, and Midoruya paused, before quickly replying, "Basically, I hit your pressure point, overloaded your nervous system, so you passed out."
"So... if I hit you in the right place, I can also knock you out with one hit?" Bakugou asked, and Midoriya nodded.
"Teach me." Bakugou crossed his arms, and glared at Midoriya, as Midoriya stuck his tongue out, "Promise me you'll never use those gauntlets on me, ever again. I nearly had a bloody heart attack at the size of the explosion."
"Deku, you literally designed this damn thing!" Bakugou growled, and Midoriya shot back, "Yeah, but seeing it in real life is a lot different from just imagining it and doodling it one a piece of paper, you stupid!"
"Should we... stop them?" Yamada asked, as Bakugou and Midoriya continued arguing, as Kayama sweatdropped, "Probably not."
Aizawa just sighed.
